Open Interest [OI] & Liquidation Flow█ THE DUAL-ENGINE ARCHITECTURE: A FUSION OF TWO CRITICAL FORCES
The power of this suite comes from its dual-engine design. It isolates and analyzes the two opposing forces that truly drive modern markets: the informed positioning of institutions and the often-misguided sentiment of the retail crowd. A high-probability trade signal is only generated at the precise moment these two forces come into critical conflict.
ENGINE 1: The Open Interest (OI) & Position Flow Engine
This is your lens into the institutional world. Its primary function is to track the flow of money into and out of the market, revealing the true intent of large players.
Live OI Integration: In a groundbreaking feature for TradingView, this engine includes a Smart Symbol Detector that automatically seeks and integrates LIVE Open Interest data for supported markets (CME, Binance, Bybit, etc.). When available, you are seeing a direct feed of net new positions entering the market.
12-Factor Synthetic OI Model: When live OI data is not available, the engine synthesizes a high-fidelity proxy by analyzing 12 distinct factors, including Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD), Absorption, Effort vs. Result, and Institutional Bias.
Curvature Analysis: We don't just look at the flow; we analyze its Velocity and
Acceleration . A sharp acceleration in bullish OI Flow is a powerful sign that institutions are aggressively building long positions.
INTERPRETATION: This engine tells you what the "smart money" is doing. A divergence—where price is falling but OI Flow is rising—is a classic sign that institutions are quietly absorbing retail panic, often preceding a violent reversal upwards.
ENGINE 2: The Liquidation Flow & Crowd Engine
This engine operates on a powerful contrarian philosophy: the market is designed to inflict maximum pain on the largest number of participants. It identifies when the retail "herd" is over-leveraged and positioned for a fall.
Crowd Positioning Model: It analyzes factors like extreme RSI levels, deviation from Fair Value (VWAP), and "chase behavior" (e.g., many consecutive bullish candles) to determine when the retail crowd is dangerously over-exposed.
Risk Analysis: It synthesizes multiple risk factors—crowding, momentum divergence, exhaustion—into a single, easy-to-read Liquidation Risk percentage .
Fear & Greed Skew: It measures the volatility skew in the options market to provide a direct gauge of market-wide fear and greed, adding a final layer of sentimental context.
HOW TO USE IT: This is your liquidation radar. When Liquidation Risk is HIGH and the Crowd is positioned heavily LONG, the market is primed for a long squeeze (a liquidation cascade downwards). Conversely, when the Crowd is heavily SHORT, a short squeeze is highly probable.
█ THE SECRET SAUCE: UNIVERSAL ADAPTABILITY
The genius of this engine lies in its ability to work on any asset, in any timeframe, without manual recalibration. This is achieved through Z-Score Normalization . Every piece of data is converted from a raw value into a statistical score representing its deviation from the "norm." A +2.0 sigma event represents an extreme outlier, whether it's on a 1-minute chart of a crypto asset or a daily chart of a stock. This makes the signals universally comparable and allows the engine to automatically adapt to the unique volatility and character of any market.
█ THE ARSENAL: MASTERING THE VISUALS & ON-CHART TOOLS
Every visual element is a data-rich component designed for rapid, intuitive interpretation.
The Lower Pane Visualizer
This is your primary intelligence dashboard, with four distinct modes to view the underlying market forces:
Classic Flow (Default): A multi-column view perfect for spotting divergences between price and the underlying flow of money and sentiment.
Heatmap Matrix: A color-density grid designed to identify "cluster" events where multiple engines light up simultaneously, signaling institutional consensus.
Oscillator Pro: A zero-centered line visualization for traders who prefer crossover and momentum-style analysis.
Delta Waterfall: A unique cascading visualization that shows the cumulative "weight" of the market, stacking the pressure from each engine to reveal the dominant force.
Main Chart Overlays
BUY/SELL Signals: These are the primary, high-conviction reversal signals. They are not simple crossovers; they are the result of a rigorous confirmation process where institutional OI Flow directly conflicts with a vulnerable retail Liquidation Flow.
Minor Triangles (▲▼): Secondary momentum signals that are excellent for scalping, confirming a trend, or adding to a winning position.
Supply/Demand Zones: When a strong, institutionally-backed signal fires, the script automatically plots a defended zone (Red for Supply, Green for Demand), highlighting future high-probability reversal areas.
Key Levels: Automatically extends lines from significant highs and lows where a major flow reversal occurred, highlighting critical support and resistance.
High Risk Diamonds (💎): A critical risk management tool. These markers appear when conditions are ripe for a liquidation cascade. This is an explicit warning to take profits or stand aside.
The Dashboard (HUD)
Your at-a-glance command center, displaying real-time, mission-critical data:
Z-Scores for OI Flow Velocity & Acceleration: See the raw, normalized momentum of the institutional flow.
Crowd Sentiment Status: Instantly know if the market is dangerously "CROWDED" or balanced.
Liquidation Risk %: A numerical gauge from 0-100% showing the probability of a violent flush.
Live Data Status: Confirms whether the engine is using LIVE OI data or the PRO synthetic model.
Optimizer Readout: When enabled, shows the backtest results of your current settings.
█ THE COMMAND CENTER: MASTERING THE INPUTS
This suite offers deep customization for the professional trader.
Analysis Length: The "memory" of the flow engine. Use shorter lengths (10-14) for scalping and longer lengths (21+) for swing trading.
Signal Sensitivity: A master control to switch between Conservative (fewer, higher-quality signals), Normal (balanced), and Aggressive (more frequent signals for scalping) modes.
Display Toggles: Individually enable or disable any of the core components in the lower pane to create your perfect analytical view.
Overlay Controls: Individually toggle all on-chart visuals and control the maximum number of Zones and Key Levels to maintain a clean workspace.
█ THE OPTIMIZER ENGINE: VALIDATE BEFORE YOU TRADE
Confidence comes from data. The built-in Optimizer Engine is a powerful backtester that runs on your chart's visible data. It allows you to rapidly test different ATR-based Take Profit and Stop Loss parameters, providing key metrics like Win Rate, Profit Factor, and a proprietary Stability Rating ( ROBUST, STABLE, FRAGILE, OVERFIT ) to help you find the most statistically sound settings for your specific asset and timeframe before risking capital.
█ DEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY
This indicator was born from a single, guiding principle: to win in modern markets, you must stop listening to the noise of price and start analyzing the signal of flow. Price is where amateurs look; flow is where professionals find their edge. This tool is our attempt to level the playing field, translating the opaque world of derivatives and institutional positioning into a clear, intuitive, and actionable intelligence system.
This tool is for the serious student of the market—the trader who seeks to understand the "why" behind the move, not just the "what."
█ DISCLAIMER AND BEST PRACTICES
THIS IS AN ADVANCED ANALYTICAL TOOL: This indicator provides intelligence, not financial advice. It should be used as a core component of a comprehensive trading strategy that includes your own analysis of market structure and risk management.
RISK MANAGEMENT IS PARAMOUNT: All trading involves substantial risk. Never risk more capital than you are prepared to lose. This indicator does not guarantee profits.
SIGNAL HIERARCHY IS KEY: Treat the main BUY/SELL labels as your primary signals. Use the minor triangles to add to positions or for scalping. Use the High Risk diamonds as a signal to reduce exposure and take profits.
MULTI-TIMEFRAME ANALYSIS: For the highest probability setups, use the indicator on a higher timeframe (e.g., 1H) to establish an institutional bias, then take signals on a lower timeframe (e.g., 5m) that align with that bias.
"The game of speculation is the most uniformly fascinating game in the world. But it is not a game for the stupid, the mentally lazy, the person of inferior emotional balance, or the get-rich-quick adventurer. They will die poor."

AI-Enhanced MSS HunterAI-Enhanced MSS Hunter
This indicator is a hybrid trading system that merges Mechanical Price Action (ICT Concepts) with Statistical Machine Learning (K-Nearest Neighbors). It is designed to assist traders in identifying high-probability reversals after liquidity sweeps, as well as trend-continuation entries during specific "Kill Zone" sessions.
How It Works
The script operates on a strict 3-step validation process to filter out false signals during choppy market conditions.
1. Liquidity Sweep (The Trigger) The system automatically plots the Previous Day High (PDH) and Previous Day Low (PDL).
The logic begins only when price "sweeps" (breaks) one of these key levels.
State Persistence: Once a level is swept, the system remembers this event for the remainder of the session (or until a signal fires), waiting for the market to reverse.
2. Market Structure Shift (The Setup) After a sweep, the indicator hunts for a Market Structure Shift (MSS).
It tracks dynamic Swing Highs and Swing Lows.
A signal is prepared only if price breaks a recent structural swing point in the opposite direction of the sweep (e.g., Sweep PDL -> Break Swing High).
3. AI / Machine Learning Filter (The Confirmation) To reduce false positives, the signal must be confirmed by a K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm.
The Logic: The script analyzes the current values of RSI (14), CCI (14), and ROC (10).
The Comparison: It looks back at the last ~1,000 bars of history to find similar market conditions (neighbors).
The Prediction: If the majority of those historical "neighbors" resulted in a favorable move, the AI confirms the trade. If historical data suggests chop or reversal, the signal is blocked.
Key Features
🎯 Primary Reversal Signals (Circles)
Green Circle: Price swept PDL + Bullish MSS + AI Confirmation.
Red Circle: Price swept PDH + Bearish MSS + AI Confirmation.
♻️ Golden Zone Re-Entries (Triangles) Once a Primary Signal is active, the script tracks the new trend leg.
It automatically draws a dynamic Golden Zone (0.5 – 0.618 Fibonacci Retracement).
If price pulls back into this zone and forms a new MSS, a Re-Entry Triangle is plotted.
Invalidation: If the pullback breaks the original setup's low/high, the zone is removed to prevent bad trades.
⏰ Kill Zone Time Filters Signals are filtered by time to ensure you are trading during high-volume sessions.
Default AM Session: 08:30 – 10:00 (New York Time)
Default PM Session: 14:00 – 15:00 (New York Time)

Ghost (Hide System)Ghost System - Gold Specialized Edition
High-Volatility Trend Following System for XAUUSD
🇬🇧 English Description
1. Overview
Ghost System is a high-performance trading indicator engineered specifically for Gold (XAUUSD). Gold is known for its explosive volatility and long-running trends, but also for its "choppy" consolidation periods that destroy accounts. Ghost System is designed to filter out these dangerous ranging markets and pinpoint the exact moment a massive trend begins, utilizing a fusion of Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and advanced volatility analysis.
2. Key Features
🛡️ Gold-Tuned Range Filter (Slope Logic)
Gold often creates "traps" in flat markets. The system calculates the angle (slope) of the Moving Average. If the slope is below a specific threshold (optimized for Gold at 0.3), it effectively blocks all signals, preventing losses during consolidation.
🧠 SMC & Order Block Integration
It automatically identifies institutional trading zones (Order Blocks) and "Change of Character" (CHOCH) patterns. Entries are not random; they align with where smart money enters the market.
🚀 "Ghost" Trailing Exit
Fixed take-profits limit your potential in Gold. This system uses a Dynamic 20-EMA Trailing Stop.
Benefit: As long as the price respects the 20-EMA, the trade stays open. This allows you to capture 100+ pips in a single strong move while automatically closing the position the moment the trend breaks.
💎 Visual Trade Management
Trade Lines: Solid lines connect your entry to your exit point (Blue = Win, Red = Loss), visualizing the trade history directly on the chart.
Result Labels: Displays the exact Pips gained or lost at the closing point (e.g., +50.5 pips), making it easy to review performance.
📊 Real-Time Performance Dashboard
A professional dashboard displays Win Rate, Profit Factor (PF), Total Pips, and Floating Pips (unrealized profit from open positions). It accounts for pyramiding (additional entries), giving you a complete view of your account health.
🇯🇵 日本語解説
1. 概要
Ghost System (ゴースト・システム) は、ゴールド（XAUUSD） 特有の「激しい値動き」を利益に変えるために開発された、完全特化型のトレンドフォロー・インジケーターです。 ゴールド相場で多くのトレーダーが退場する原因となる「レンジ相場（往復ビンタ）」を徹底的に排除し、機関投資家の資金が入る「初動」と「トレンドの伸び」だけを狙い撃ちするよう設計されています。
2. 主な特徴
🛡️ ゴールド専用レンジ・フィルター (傾き判定)
ゴールドのチャートは、動かない時は全く動きません。このシステムは移動平均線の「傾き（Slope）」を常に監視し、傾きが規定値（ゴールドに最適化された0.3）以下の時は、一切のエントリーサインを出しません。 これにより、無駄な損失を劇的に減らします。
🧠 SMC（スマートマネーコンセプト）搭載
機関投資家が意識する**オーダーブロック（OB）**やトレンド転換点（CHOCH）を自動で分析。単なるインジケーターの数値だけでなく、「大口投資家の痕跡」を根拠にサインを点灯させます。
🚀 利益を無限に伸ばす「ゴースト・トレーリング」
チキン利食い（早すぎる利確）を防ぐため、固定利確ではなく**「20EMA追従型」**の決済ロジックを採用しています。
メリット: トレンドが続いている限り、どれだけ価格が伸びてもポジションをホールドし続けます。これにより、ゴールド特有の数百pips級のビッグウェーブを根こそぎ獲得します。逆に、トレンドが崩れた（20EMAを割った）瞬間に即座に撤退し、利益を守ります。
💎 トレードの「見える化」機能
トレードライン: エントリーから決済までを実線（勝ち＝青、負け＝赤）で結びます。「どこで入り、どこで逃げたか」がチャート上で一目瞭然になります。
結果ラベル: 決済地点に +85.4 pips のように獲得pips数を表示するため、検証作業が非常にスムーズになります。
📊 リアルタイム成績ダッシュボード
チャート右上に**「勝率」「プロフィットファクター(PF)」「獲得Pips総数」**を表示。
さらに、ポジション保有中は**「現在の含み益Pips」**もリアルタイムで変動表示されるため、今どれくらい儲かっているかが瞬時に分かります。
推奨設定 (Recommended Settings)
通貨ペア: XAUUSD (Gold) 専用
時間足: 15分足 (M15) または 1時間足 (H1)
損切り: 固定 20.0 pips（ボラティリティが高い場合は調整可）

[SMC] Binet Nexus Alpha : Institutional Liquidity & Order BlocksBINET™ NEXUS ALPHA : The Institutional SMC Terminal
Overview
The BINET™ NEXUS ALPHA is a professional-grade execution terminal designed to bridge the gap between retail "Smart Money Concepts" and actual institutional data. Built on the proprietary BINET™ Core v17.5 engine, this terminal prioritizes Price Action Narrative over lagging signals.
Unlike basic SMC indicators that clutter charts with unverified boxes, the Nexus Alpha uses an Institutional Confluence Engine to filter out retail "stop-run" noise and identify high-conviction zones where big money is actually positioning.
The Narrative Engine (Visual Intelligence)
The terminal replaces abstract lines with a high-visibility geometric narrative designed for rapid scanning on 4K/high-res monitors:
█ (Solid Blue Block): Institutional Vol Spike. Represents a "Foundation Surge" where volume significantly exceeds retail averages.
◆ (Gold Diamond): Liquidity Hunt. Direct identification of price tapping into resting Order Blocks (OB) or Fair Value Gaps (FVG).
● (Blue Circle): Macro Accumulation. Alerts you to long-term institutional position building.
▲/▼ (Triangles): Market Structure Breaks. Real-time Break of Structure (BOS) tracking.
The Command HUD (Mission Control)
The terminal features a real-time Hierarchical HUD that audits every trade before you enter:
Signal Quality (Sync Score): A 0-100% confluence rating. 85%+ represents "Elite Institutional Sync."
Stop Advisor & Risk Meter: Calculates the highest-volume liquidity bin for stop placement and warns you if the Max Stop Distance (%) is exceeded.
Market Health Engine: Automatically detects the current regime (Scalp, Swing, or Position) to adjust your execution strategy.
Success Probability: A rolling trajectory of the system's performance, showing whether recent win-rates are trending up (▲) or down (▼).
Institutional Workflow
Filter: Check the Trade Bias (Long/Short) on the HUD.
Confirm: Wait for the Sync Score to cross your threshold (Default 65%).
Audit: Verify that the Risk Meter is not in "High Exposure" mode.
Execute: Target the provided TP1/TP2 levels projected on the chart.
Technical Specifications
Language: Pine Script® v6
Logic: Smart Money Concepts (SMC) + Volume Delta Analysis
Core: BINET™ v17.5 Concurrency Engine
Founder's Note
The BINET™ NEXUS ALPHA was designed for traders who demand institutional-grade transparency. It is the final piece of the BINET Suite, designed to be used alongside the Macro Sector Rotation and Trend Matrix tools for a complete Top-Down to Bottom-Up trading workflow.
Multi-Data Chart-AnalyticsDynamic Sentiment & Contextual Trend Analysis
Function Description
The Multi-Data Chart-Analytics is a comprehensive market context indicator designed to convert complex technical data into a readable, real-time narrative. Unlike traditional visual-only indicators, this script acts as an on-chart "trading assistant" that evaluates price action, momentum, volatility, and institutional volume simultaneously.
Key Technical Features:
Adaptive Trend Engine: Automatically scales its lookback period based on available historical data (up to 200 periods). This ensures accurate analysis for "young" assets or high timeframes (like BTC on Monthly charts) where standard fixed-length EMAs fail.
Momentum & Feel Tracking: Integrates RSI and DMI (ADX) to determine if the market is overextended (expensive) or undervalued (cheap), and whether the trend has sufficient strength.
Volatility Squeeze Detection: Monitors Bollinger Band width to alert users to "coiling" phases, signaling imminent breakouts.
Institutional Volume Filter: Compares current volume against its 20-period moving average to identify "Smart Money" conviction.
Who is this for?
Discretionary Traders: Who want a quick "second opinion" or sanity check before entering a trade.
Beginners: Who find it difficult to read multiple indicators at once; the terminal translates lines into actionable insights.
Systematic Traders: Who need to maintain awareness of higher-timeframe context without cluttering their main chart window.
How to Use It
Look at the Environment: Start by checking the long-term trend status to ensure you aren't trading against the dominant market force.
Verify Momentum: Check "Market Feel" to avoid buying at exhaustion points (Overbought) or selling at bottoms (Oversold).
Prepare for Breakouts: Keep an eye on the "Volatility" section. If it indicates a "Squeeze," tighten your stops or prepare for a large move.
Confirm with Smart Money: Only trust significant moves if the terminal confirms "Institutional Activity" is present.
Customize: Use the settings menu to adjust the box width, colors, and font size to fit your personal chart layout.
Technical Breakdown (Short Form)
Trend: Adaptive EMA/SMA (max 200).
Momentum: RSI (14) + ADX (14).
Volatility: Bollinger Band Width (20).
Volume: SMA (20) based Volume multiplier.

Accumulation/Distribution Oscillator [MarkitTick]💡 This script presents a statistically normalized evolution of the classic Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) indicator, designed to transform unbounded volume flow into a bounded, actionable oscillator. By integrating Relative Volume (RVOL) weighting and Z-Score standardization, this tool isolates genuine institutional buying and selling pressure from market noise, offering a clear view of volume momentum regimes.
✨ Originality and Utility
The standard Accumulation/Distribution line is a cumulative total of volume flow, which often results in an unbounded line that drifts indefinitely with price trends. This makes it difficult for traders to identify overextended conditions or specific turning points.
This script solves that problem through a three-stage quantitative process:
Smart Volume Weighting: Instead of treating all volume equally, this indicator amplifies the impact of high-volume nodes using a Relative Volume (RVOL) filter. This ensures that significant institutional activity carries more weight than low-liquidity chopping.
Detrending: It subtracts a smoothed average (using ALMA, EMA, or others) from the raw A/D line to create a raw oscillator.
Normalization: Finally, it applies a Z-Score calculation to normalize the data. This bounds the oscillator around a zero mean, allowing for the application of Bollinger Bands to detect statistical extremes (2 or 3 standard deviations).
🔬 Methodology and Concepts
The calculation logic follows a strict quantitative pipeline:
● Money Flow Multiplier (MFM)
The core engine is the classic MFM calculation, which determines the location of the Close relative to the High-Low range. A Close near the High results in +1, while a Close near the Low results in -1.
● Advanced Volume Filtering
Before accumulation, the volume is processed through two filters:
RVOL Multiplier: If the current bar's volume exceeds its simple moving average (`rvol_len`), the volume is multiplied by a user-defined factor (`rvol_mult`). This emphasizes breakout candles.
Candle Strength (Optional): If enabled, weight is increased based on how close the price closes to the absolute high or low, rewarding decisive candle shapes.
● Z-Score Standardization
The script calculates the "Raw Oscillator" by subtracting a moving average (Signal Line) from the cumulative A/D Line. It then calculates the Z-Score of this raw value over a lookback period (`z_len`).
Formula: Z = (Value - Mean) / Standard Deviation
🎨 Visual Guide
The indicator renders a complex data set into an easy-to-read interface:
• The Oscillator (Line & Histogram)
The primary output is the Z-Score value.
Teal Histogram/Line: Represents Bullish momentum (Accumulation). Darker Teal indicates accelerating momentum (`osc > previous`), while lighter Teal indicates decaying momentum.
Red Histogram/Line: Represents Bearish momentum (Distribution). Darker Red indicates accelerating selling pressure, while lighter Red indicates exhaustion.
Gray: If the Trend Filter (200 EMA) or VWAP Filter is enabled and the signal opposes the trend, the histogram turns Gray to indicate a low-probability counter-trend signal.
• Bollinger Bands (Blue Bands)
These bands wrap around the oscillator line.
Upper Band: Usually set to +2 Standard Deviations. When the oscillator pierces this band, accumulation is statistically extreme (potential mean reversion or strong breakout).
Lower Band: Usually set to -2 Standard Deviations. Indicates statistically extreme distribution.
• Divergences
The script automatically detects and plots structural divergences:
Green Lines/Labels: Bullish Divergence. Price makes a Lower Low while the Oscillator makes a Higher Low.
Red Lines/Labels: Bearish Divergence. Price makes a Higher High while the Oscillator makes a Lower High.
• Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Dashboard
Located in the top right, this table displays the momentum status (BULL/BEAR) of the oscillator across three user-defined timeframes (default: 60min, 240min, Daily), allowing for fractal trend analysis.
📖 How to Use
This tool is best used for identifying trend exhaustion and hidden volume strength.
1. Trend Continuation
In a strong uptrend, look for the Histogram to remain Teal and above the Zero line. A pullback to the Zero line that bounces back up suggests buyers are stepping in to defend the trend.
2. Statistical Extremes
When the oscillator line breaks outside the Bollinger Bands, volume flow is significantly deviated from the norm.
If price is ranging, this often signals a reversal (Reversion to Mean).
If price is breaking out, this confirms strong impulse participation.
3. Divergence Reversals
A divergence is a leading signal. If price is pushing new highs but the A/D Oscillator fails to make a new high (Red Divergence Line), it indicates that the volume supporting the move is drying up, often preceding a correction.
⚙️ Inputs and Settings
● Oscillator Settings
Smoothing Type/Length: Choose between ALMA, EMA, SMA, etc., to smooth the A/D line. ALMA is default for its zero-lag properties.
ALMA Offset/Sigma: Fine-tune the responsiveness of the Arnaud Legoux Moving Average.
● Quant Filters
RVOL Lookback & Multiplier: Determines the threshold for "High Volume." Default is 1.5x average volume.
Z-Score Lookback: The period used to establish statistical significance (Default: 100).
Use VWAP/Trend Filter: Logical switches to gray out signals that contradict the macro trend (200 EMA) or the intraday mean (VWAP).
● Dashboard
Customize the three timeframes displayed in the MTF table to match your trading horizon (e.g., Scalpers might use 5m, 15m, 1h).
🔍 Deconstruction of the Underlying Scientific and Academic Framework
This indicator relies on the Law of Supply and Demand quantified through Standard Score (Z-Score) Statistics .
Standard Accumulation/Distribution is derived from the work of Marc Chaikin, positing that the proximity of the close to the high/low on high volume indicates the "smart money" flow. However, raw cumulative data suffers from heteroscedasticity (varying variance).
By applying Z-Score normalization:
Z = (x - μ) / σ
We transform the data into a standard normal distribution. This allows us to apply probability theory to volume analysis. A value of +2.0 is not merely "high"; it represents a volume flow intensity that falls within the top 2.2% of the data set (assuming normal distribution), providing a mathematically robust definition of "Overbought" or "Oversold" volume conditions.

Volatility Radar Volatility Radar
A comprehensive VIX-based dashboard for volatility regime analysis and trade bias confirmation. Designed for options traders who use VIX levels to inform directional bias and identify potential traps in market positioning.
Dashboard Columns
1. 10-Min Rule
Displays your current directional bias based on VIX zone positioning with time-based confirmation.
CALLS (Green): VIX is below the Bullish Chop level — conditions favor call buying / bullish stock positioning
PUTS (Red): VIX is above the Bearish Chop level — conditions favor put buying / bearish stock positioning
CHOP (Yellow): VIX is between the two chop levels — no clear directional edge
Confirmation Logic: The bias must hold for a configurable period (default: 10 minutes) before showing "✓ CONFIRMED". A countdown timer shows time remaining until confirmation. High-velocity moves (spikes or crushes) trigger immediate confirmation. If VIX touches a chop boundary, the timer resets.
2. VIX Levels
Displays four user-configurable VIX thresholds that define the volatility regime zones:
Bearish (Red): Extreme fear — VIX at or above this level signals high volatility / bearish stock conditions
Resist (Orange): Upper chop boundary — resistance level for VIX
Support (Yellow): Lower chop boundary — support level for VIX
Bullish (Green): Low fear — VIX at or below this level signals low volatility / bullish stock conditions
The current zone is highlighted based on where VIX is trading relative to these levels.
3. Options Flow
Displays net options flow sentiment to gauge market positioning. Supports both simulated and real-time OPRA data.
Simulated Mode (Default):
Net Val: Shows simulated flow based on candle direction (bullish candle = positive, bearish = negative) multiplied by volume
Sentiment: BULLISH, BEARISH, or NEUTRAL based on flow direction
- Header displays "Options Flow (Sim)"
Real-Time OPRA Mode:
Vol: Shows actual call and put volumes summed across strikes near ATM (e.g., "C:12.5K P:8.2K")
Sentiment: BULLISH if call volume > put volume, BEARISH if puts dominate
- Header displays "Options Flow 📡"
- Net flow calculated as: `Total Call Volume - Total Put Volume`
⚠️ OPRA Data Requirement
Real-time mode requires an active OPRA data subscription in TradingView. Without this subscription, the options volume data will not populate. Enable "Use Real-Time OPRA Data" in settings and configure the required parameters (see Settings section below).
4. Velocity
Monitors the speed of VIX movement to detect rapid regime changes.
STABLE (Gray): Normal VIX movement
⚡ SPIKE (Red): VIX increased by more than the velocity threshold (default: 0.40 points) over the last 5 bars — rapid fear increase
⚡ CRUSH (Green): VIX decreased by more than the velocity threshold over the last 5 bars — rapid fear decrease
Calculation: `VIX - VIX ` (current VIX minus VIX from 5 bars ago)
5. Trap Detect
Identifies potential positioning traps by comparing VIX regime with options flow direction.
CLEAN (Gray): No divergence detected — flow aligns with VIX regime
⚠️ TRAP (Orange): High VIX + Bullish Flow — warns of potential bull trap; smart money may be selling into retail call buying during elevated fear
🛡️ ABSORB (Yellow): Low VIX + Bearish Flow — institutional absorption pattern; put buying during low VIX may indicate smart money hedging or accumulation
Horizontal Level Lines
Four horizontal lines are automatically drawn on the chart at your configured VIX levels:
1. Green line: Bullish level
2. Yellow line: Bullish Chop (Support) level
3. Orange line: Bearish Chop (Resist) level
4. Red line: Bearish level
Settings
Display Settings
Table Position: Choose where the dashboard appears on your chart
Text Size: Tiny, Small, or Normal
Table Background / Transparency: Customize dashboard appearance
10-Minute Rule
Confirmation Minutes: Time required in a zone before bias is confirmed (default: 10)
Velocity Threshold: Points per 5-bar period to trigger spike/crush detection (default: 0.40)
VIX Levels
Bullish (Green): Low volatility threshold (default: 14)
Bullish Chop (Yellow): Lower chop boundary (default: 16)
Bearish Chop (Orange): Upper chop boundary (default: 20)
Bearish (Red): High volatility threshold (default: 25)
Options Flow Data
Use Real-Time OPRA Data: Toggle between simulated and real-time options data (default: off)
Ticker Override: Manual ticker symbol. Leave blank to auto-detect from chart. Examples: SPY, QQQ, SPXW, NDX. Note: SPX auto-converts to SPXW for options symbols.
Center/Anchor Price: Required for OPRA mode. Enter the current underlying price (e.g., 590 for SPY, 5900 for SPX). This determines the ATM strike for data fetching.
Expiry Date (YYMMDD): Options expiration date in YYMMDD format (e.g., 260117 for Jan 17, 2026). Leave blank to use today's date (0DTE).
Strikes Above/Below ATM: Number of strikes to scan on each side of center price (1-10, default: 5). Higher values capture more flow data but use more API calls.
Strike Step Auto-Detection:
- SPX/SPXW, NDX: $5 strikes
- VIX: $0.50 strikes
- SPY, QQQ, and others: $1 strikes
What's New in This Release
1. Real-Time OPRA Options Flow: New toggle to switch between simulated and real-time options data. When enabled with an OPRA subscription, fetches actual call/put volumes across up to 11 strikes around ATM.
2. Configurable Options Parameters: New settings for ticker override, center price, expiry date, and strike range for precise options data targeting.
3. Horizontal Level Lines: VIX threshold levels are now drawn directly on the chart as colored horizontal lines for quick visual reference
4. Reordered Settings: VIX level inputs now flow logically from Bullish to Bearish
Best Practices
1. Use on VIX chart: Apply this indicator directly to a VIX chart (CBOE:VIX) for best results
2. Wait for confirmation: Don't act on bias until the 10-minute rule confirms
3. Respect velocity signals: Spikes and crushes can indicate regime changes before price confirms
4. Watch for traps: Divergence between flow and VIX regime often precedes reversals
5. Customize your levels: Adjust VIX thresholds based on current market conditions and your trading style
6. OPRA Setup: If using real-time options data, ensure you:
- Have an active OPRA subscription in TradingView
- Set the correct Center/Anchor Price for the underlying you're tracking
- Update the expiry date if trading non-0DTE options
- Match the ticker to your target (SPY for SPY options, leave blank on VIX chart for VIX options)
Disclaimer
This indicator is for educational and informational purposes only. It is not financial advice. Options flow data is simulated by default; real-time OPRA data requires a separate TradingView subscription. Always do your own research and manage risk appropriately.
Liquidity OS [PyraTime]Trading the lower timeframes (1m-15m) often feels like navigating a minefield. Charts become cluttered with noise, making it nearly impossible to distinguish random price action from genuine institutional intent. Traders frequently suffer from "Analysis Paralysis," struggling to spot clean setups or reacting too slowly to calculate risk accurately in fast-moving markets.
The Solution: A Clean Operating SystemPyraTime: Liquidity OS was engineered to solve this specific problem. It is not just a signal tool; it is a complete visual operating system designed to declutter your workspace and enforce discipline. By filtering price action through a strict confluence of Structure, Time, and Momentum, it highlights only high-probability liquidity sweeps while automating the complex mental math of risk management.
How to Use This Indicator
This tool is designed for Scalpers and Day Traders utilizing liquidity concepts (ICT/SMC).
Wait for the Signal: The indicator automatically identifies valid "Unicorn" setups—a confluence of a Liquidity Sweep followed by a displacement (Breaker) and a Fair Value Gap.
Verify the Context: Look for the "Elite Glass" Capsule.
Cyan Glass: Bullish Setup (Long Opportunity).
Pink Glass: Bearish Setup (Short Opportunity).
Note: The capsule physically covers messy wicks, forcing your eye to focus solely on the clear path to profit or invalidation.
Consult the Dashboard: Glance at the "Monitor" panel (bottom right). It instantly displays the Position Size required to trade the setup based on your pre-defined account risk (e.g., 1%).
Execute & Focus: Use the visual TP (Take Profit) and SL (Stop Loss) lines provided by the capsule to set your orders. The system automatically dims old trades ("Smart Spotlight") so only the current opportunity competes for your attention.
Key Features
🦁 "Elite Glass" Visual Engine: A proprietary rendering system that displays trade setups as high-transparency, polished capsules. This creates a "Focus-First" environment, reducing chart noise and visual fatigue.
🧠 Smart Spotlight: Automatically manages visual history. The two most recent active zones remain bright, while older setups automatically dim to reduce clutter. Mitigated zones can be set to turn into "Ghosts" or disappear entirely.
🛡️ Risk OS Dashboard: A real-time, persistent monitor that calculates:
Dynamic Position Sizing: Tells you exactly how many units/contracts to trade.
Session Metrics: Tracks Win Rate, Total R, and Expectancy live.
Safety Warnings: Highlights "High Risk" inputs in red if you exceed safety thresholds.
⚡ Logic Filters:
Killzones: Restrict signals to specific sessions (e.g., London/NY) with a custom timezone selector.
Trend Flow: Filters signals to align with the 4H Trend (EMA 50).
Deep Value: Ensures buys occur in Discount and sells in Premium zones.
Specifications & Settings
Risk OS: Customizable Target R:R, Stop Loss Padding (ATR Multiplier), and Risk Per Trade %.
Liquidity Filters: "1m Scalp Mode" (increased sensitivity), Killzone Time/Timezone selector, and Force Reset button.
Visual Interface: Fully customizable colors. Toggles for "Show Midlines" (50% of FVG) and "Show Structure Breaks" (BOS lines) to further reduce noise.
Performance: Built on Pine Script v6 with null-safe execution and optimized garbage collection for zero-lag performance on all timeframes.
Disclaimer: Risk metrics, position sizing, and performance data displayed by this indicator are for informational and educational purposes only. This tool does not execute trades, manage funds, or guarantee future results. Always trade with a regulated broker and verify calculations independently.
Adaptive Market Structure Channel By S B PrasadAdaptive Market Structure Channel (AMSC)
Institutional-Grade Trend, Volatility & Liquidity Framework
Overview
The Adaptive Market Structure Channel (AMSC) is a multi-engine, adaptive trading framework designed to read market structure, volatility, liquidity, and trend strength in real time.
It integrates ATR-based channels, pivot structure, supply–demand zones, liquidity sweeps, multi-factor momentum, and higher-timeframe confirmation into a single, coherent visual system.
AMSC is not a single-indicator strategy.
It is a context-driven decision framework intended to help traders align entries with dominant trend, structural levels, and institutional activity.
Core Components
1️⃣ Adaptive ATR Trend Channel
Dynamic ATR-based support & resistance
Automatically adjusts to volatility
Color-coded trend strength (strong / weak regimes)
Acts as the primary trend bias filter
2️⃣ Pivot-Based ATR Trend Channels
Channels built from confirmed pivot highs and lows
ATR-expanded structure, not fixed slopes
Separates impulse moves from corrections
Useful for trend continuation and pullback trades
3️⃣ Market Structure: Supply & Demand Zones
Automatically plots fresh demand and supply zones
Zones extend forward until violated
Helps identify high-probability reaction areas
Used as a location filter, not a standalone signal
4️⃣ Liquidity Sweep Detection (Smart Money Logic)
Identifies equal high / equal low liquidity pools
Detects stop-hunt style sweeps
Validates sweeps only when price reacts from structure zones
Prevents chasing false breakouts
5️⃣ Multi-Factor Trend Confirmation Engine
Combines:
EMA structure
MACD momentum
RSI regime
VWAP positioning
Optional ribbon & HMA filters
Signals are generated only when a majority of factors align, avoiding single-indicator bias.
6️⃣ Volatility Context (Bollinger Bands)
Provides volatility expansion / contraction context
Helps distinguish trend continuation vs compression
Works as a background regime filter
7️⃣ Higher Timeframe Confirmation
Confirms trend using a user-selected HTF
Prevents counter-trend trades during strong HTF bias
Essential for intraday and swing traders
8️⃣ Session-Aware Trading
Optional India, London, and New York session filters
Signals only during active market participation
Avoids low-liquidity false signals
9️⃣ Professional Dashboard
Real-time display of:
Trend direction
Trend strength
Factor alignment
HTF bias
Active zone
Trade signal
Session status
Designed for quick decision-making, not clutter.
How to Use AMSC (Best Practice)
✔ Trade in the direction of the ATR trend
✔ Enter near demand/supply within the channel
✔ Confirm with factor alignment & HTF bias
✔ Use liquidity sweeps as entry triggers, not signals alone
✔ Avoid trades during low-strength or inactive sessions
AMSC performs best when used as a confluence system, not a mechanical entry-exit robot.
Ideal Use Cases
Intraday index trading
Swing trading in trending markets
Futures & FX structure-based trading
Traders who prefer context over indicators
What AMSC Is NOT
❌ Not a scalping toy
❌ Not a repainting indicator
❌ Not a one-click signal generator
It is built for disciplined traders who understand structure and risk.
Final Note
AMSC is designed to think like the market, not predict it.
Use it to read conditions, not chase signals.
MSC — BEST CLEAN SETUP (RECOMMENDED)

Scalp Precision Matrix [BullByte]SCALP PRECISION MATRIX (SPM)
OVERVIEW
Scalp Precision Matrix (SPM) is a comprehensive decision-support framework designed specifically for scalpers and short-term traders. This indicator synthesizes five distinct analytical layers into a unified system that helps identify high-quality setups while avoiding common pitfalls that trap traders.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
THE CORE PROBLEM THIS INDICATOR ADDRESSES
Scalping demands rapid decision-making while simultaneously processing multiple data points. Traders constantly ask themselves: Is momentum still alive? Am I entering near a potential reversal zone? Is this the right session to trade? What is my actual risk-to-reward? Most traders either overwhelm themselves with too many separate indicators (creating analysis paralysis) or use too few (missing crucial context).
SPM was developed to consolidate these essential checks into one cohesive framework. Rather than overlaying disconnected indicators, each component in SPM directly informs and adjusts the others, creating an integrated analytical system.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHY THESE SPECIFIC COMPONENTS AND HOW THEY WORK TOGETHER
The five analytical layers in SPM are not arbitrarily combined. Each addresses a specific question in the scalping decision process, and together they form a logical workflow:
LAYER 1: MOMENTUM FUEL GAUGE
This answers the question: "Does the current move still have energy?"
After any impulse move (a significant directional price movement), momentum naturally decays over time. The Fuel Gauge estimates remaining momentum by analyzing four factors:
Body Strength (30% weight): Compares recent candle body sizes against the historical average. Strong momentum produces candles with large bodies relative to their wicks. The calculation takes the 3-bar average body size divided by the 20-bar average body size, then scales it to a 0-100 range.
Wick Rejection (25% weight): Measures the wick-to-body ratio. When wicks are large relative to bodies, it suggests rejection and weakening momentum. A ratio of 2.0 or higher (wicks twice the body size) scores low; smaller ratios score higher.
Volume Consistency (20% weight): Compares recent 3-bar average volume against the lookback period average. Sustained moves require consistent volume support. Volume dropping off suggests the move may be losing participation.
Time Decay (25% weight): Tracks how many bars have passed since the last detected impulse. Momentum naturally fades over time. The typical impulse duration is adjusted based on the current volatility regime.
These components are weighted and combined, then smoothed with a 3-period EMA to reduce noise. The result is a 0-100% gauge where:
- Above 70% = Strong momentum (green)
- 40-70% = Moderate momentum (amber)
- Below 40% = Weak momentum (red)
- Below 20% = Exhausted (triggers EXIT warning)
The Fuel Gauge also estimates how many bars of momentum remain based on the current burn rate.
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER : The Fuel Gauge is NOT order flow, volume profile, or depth of market data. It is a technical proxy calculated entirely from standard OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) data. The term "Fuel" is used metaphorically to represent estimated remaining momentum energy.
LAYER 2: TRAP ZONE DETECTION
This answers the question: "Am I walking into a potential reversal area?"
Price tends to reverse at levels where it has reversed before. SPM identifies these zones by detecting clusters of historical swing points:
How it works:
1. The indicator detects swing highs and swing lows using the Swing Detection Length setting (default 5 bars on each side required to confirm a pivot).
2. Recent swing points are stored (up to 10 of each type).
3. For each potential zone, the algorithm counts how many swing points cluster within a tolerance of 0.5 ATR.
4. Zones with 2 or more clustered swing points, positioned between 0.3 and 4.0 ATR from current price, are marked as Trap Zones.
5. A Confluence Score is calculated based on cluster density and proximity to current price.
The percentage displayed (e.g., "TRAP 85%") is a CONFLUENCE SCORE, not a probability. Higher percentages mean more swing points cluster at that level and price is closer to it. This indicates stronger historical significance, not a prediction of future reversal.
CRITICAL DISCLAIMER : Trap Zones are NOT institutional order flow, liquidity pools, smart money footprints, or any proprietary data feed. They are calculated purely from historical swing point clustering using standard technical analysis. The term "trap" describes how price action has historically reversed at these levels, potentially trapping traders who enter prematurely. This is pattern recognition, not market structure data.
LAYER 3: VELOCITY ANALYSIS
This answers the question: "Is price moving favorably right now?"
Velocity measures how fast price is currently moving compared to its recent average:
Calculation:
- Current velocity = Absolute price change from previous bar divided by ATR
- Average velocity = Simple moving average of velocity over the lookback period
- Velocity ratio = Current velocity divided by average velocity
Classification:
- FAST (ratio above 1.5 ): Price is moving significantly faster than normal. Good for momentum continuation plays.
- NORMAL (ratio 0.5 to 1.5) : Typical price movement speed.
- SLOW (ratio below 0.5 ): Price is moving sluggishly. Often indicates ranging or choppy conditions where scalping becomes difficult.
The velocity score contributes 18% to the overall quality score calculation.
LAYER 4: SESSION AWARENESS
This answers the question: "Is this a good time to trade?"
Different trading sessions have different characteristics. SPM automatically detects which major session is active and adjusts its quality assessment:
Session Times (all in UTC):
- A sia Session : 00:00 - 08:00 UTC
- London Session : 08:00 - 16:00 UTC
- New York Session : 13:00 - 21:00 UTC
- London/NY Overlap : 13:00 - 16:00 UTC
- Off-Peak : Outside major sessions
Session Quality Weighting:
- Overlap : 100 points (highest liquidity, best movement)
- London : 85 points
- New York : 80 points
- Asia : 50 points (tends to range more)
- Off-Peak : 30 points (lower liquidity, more false signals)
The session score contributes 17% to the overall quality calculation. Signals are also filtered to prevent firing during off-peak hours.
Note : These are fixed UTC times and may not perfectly match your broker's session boundaries. Use them as general guidance rather than precise timing.
LAYER 5: VOLATILITY REGIME ADAPTATION
This answers the question: "How should I adjust for current market conditions?"
SPM compares current volatility (14-period ATR) against historical volatility (50-period ATR) to categorize the market:
HIGH Volatility (ratio above 1.3): Current ATR is 30%+ above normal. SPM widens thresholds to filter noise and extends target projections.
NORMAL Volatility (ratio 0.7 to 1.3): Typical conditions. Standard parameters apply.
LOW Volatility (ratio below 0.7): Current ATR is 30%+ below normal. SPM tightens thresholds for sensitivity and reduces target expectations. The market state may show AVOID during prolonged low volatility.
This adaptation prevents false signals during erratic markets and missed signals during quiet markets.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
THE SYNERGY: WHY THIS COMBINATION MATTERS
These five layers are not independent indicators placed on one chart. They form an interconnected system:
- A signal only fires when momentum exists (Fuel above 40%), price is away from danger zones (Trap Zones factored into quality score), movement is favorable (Velocity contributes to score), timing is appropriate (Session is not off-peak), and volatility is accounted for (thresholds adapt to regime).
- The Trap Zones directly influence Entry Zone placement. Entry zones are positioned beyond trap zones to avoid getting caught in reversals.
- Target projections automatically adjust to avoid placing take-profit levels inside detected trap zones.
- The Fuel Gauge affects which signal tier fires. Insufficient fuel prevents all signals.
- Session quality is weighted into the overall score, reducing signal quality during less favorable trading hours.
This integration is the core originality of SPM. Each component makes the others more useful than they would be in isolation.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW THE QUALITY SCORE IS CALCULATED
The Quality Score (0-100) synthesizes all layers into a single number for each direction (long and short):
For Long Quality Score:
- Fuel Component (28% weight) : Full fuel value if impulse direction is bullish; 60% of fuel value otherwise
- Trap Avoidance (22% weight) : 75 points if no trap zone below; otherwise 100 minus the trap confluence score (minimum 20)
- Velocity Component (18% weight) : Direct velocity score
- Session Component (17% weight) : Current session quality score
- Trend Alignment (15% bonus) : Adds 12 points if price is above the 20-period SMA
For Short Quality Score:
- Same structure but reversed (bearish impulse direction, trap zone above, price below SMA)
The direction with the higher score becomes the current Bias. A 12-point difference is required to switch bias, preventing flip-flopping in neutral conditions.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SIGNAL TYPES AND WHAT THEY MEAN
SPM generates four types of signals, each with specific visual representation:
PRIME SIGNALS (Cyan Diamond)
These represent the highest quality confluence. Requirements:
- Quality score crosses above the Prime threshold (default 80)
- Bias aligns with signal direction
- Fuel is sufficient (above 40%)
- Session is active (not off-peak)
- Cooldown period has passed
Prime signals appear as cyan-colored diamond shapes. Long signals appear below the bar; short signals appear above.
STANDARD SIGNALS (Green Triangle Up / Red Triangle Down)
These represent good quality setups. Requirements:
- Quality score crosses above the Standard threshold (default 75) but below Prime
- Same bias, fuel, and cooldown requirements as Prime
Standard signals appear as small triangles in green (long) or red (short).
CAUTION SIGNALS (Small Faded Circle)
These represent minimum threshold setups. Requirements:
- Quality score crosses above the Caution threshold (default 65) but below Standard
- Same additional requirements
Caution signals appear as small, faded circles. These suggest the setup exists but with weaker confluence. Consider these only when broader market context supports them, or skip them entirely during uncertain conditions.
EXHAUSTION SIGNAL (Purple X with "EXIT" text)
This warning appears when the Fuel Gauge drops below 20% from above, indicating momentum has depleted. This is not a trade signal but a warning to:
- Consider exiting existing positions
- Avoid entering new trades in the current direction
- Wait for new momentum to develop
All signals use CONFIRMED bar data only (referencing the previous closed bar) to prevent repainting. Once a signal appears, it will never disappear or change position on historical bars.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
READING THE CHART ELEMENTS
TRAP ZONES (Red Dashed Box with "TRAP XX%" Label)
These mark price levels where multiple historical swing points cluster. The red dashed box shows the zone boundaries. The percentage is the confluence score indicating cluster strength and proximity.
How to use: When price approaches a trap zone, be cautious about entering in that direction. If your bias is LONG and there's a strong trap zone above, consider taking partial profits before price reaches it or adjusting your target below it.
ENTRY ZONES (Green Solid Box with "ENTRY" Label)
These show suggested entry areas based on the current bias direction. For LONG bias, the entry zone appears below the trap zone (buying the dip beyond support). For SHORT bias, it appears above the trap zone (selling the rally beyond resistance).
How to use: Rather than entering at current price, consider placing limit orders within the entry zone. This positions you beyond where typical trap reversals occur.
TARGET ZONES (Blue Dotted Box with "TARGET" Label)
These project potential take-profit areas based on ATR multiples, adjusted for:
- Current volatility regime (wider in high volatility, tighter in low)
- Impulse direction (larger targets when aligned with impulse)
- Nearby trap zones (targets adjust to avoid placing TP inside trap zones)
How to use: These are suggestions, not guarantees. Consider taking partial profits before the target or using trailing stops once price moves favorably.
STOP LEVEL (Orange Dashed Line with "STOP" Label)
This shows suggested stop-loss placement, calculated as 0.8 ATR beyond the trap zone (or 2.0 ATR from current price if no trap zone exists).
How to use: This provides a reference for risk calculation. The dashboard R:R ratio is calculated using this stop level.
Chart Example: Scalp Precision Matrix displays real-time market analysis through dynamic zones and quality scores. ENTRY/TARGET/STOP zones show potential price levels based on current market structure - they appear continuously as reference points, NOT as trade instructions. Actual trade signals (diamonds, triangles, circles) fire only when multiple conditions align: quality score thresholds are crossed, fuel gauge is sufficient, session is active, and cooldown period has passed. The zones help you understand market context; the signals tell you when to act.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SETTINGS EXPLAINED
CORE SETTINGS:
Analysis Lookback (Default: 20)
Number of bars used for statistical calculations including average volume and average body size. Higher values create smoother but slower-reacting analysis. Lower values are more responsive but may include more noise.
Swing Detection Length (Default: 5)
Bars required on each side to confirm a swing high or low. A setting of 5 means a swing high must have 5 lower highs on each side. Lower values detect more swings (more trap zones, more sensitivity). Higher values find only major pivots (fewer but more significant zones).
Impulse Sensitivity (Default: 1.5)
Multiplier for ATR when detecting impulse moves. Lower values (like 1.0) detect smaller price movements as impulses, refreshing the fuel gauge more frequently. Higher values (like 2.5) require larger moves, making impulse detection less frequent but more significant.
SIGNAL SETTINGS:
Prime/Standard/Caution Thresholds (Defaults: 80/75/65)
These control the quality score required for each signal tier. You can adjust these based on your preference:
- More conservative : Raise thresholds (e.g., 85/80/70) for fewer but higher-quality signals
- More aggressive : Lower thresholds (e.g., 75/70/60) for more signals with slightly lower quality
Signal Cooldown (Default: 8 bars)
Minimum bars between signals to prevent signal spam. After any signal fires, no new signals can appear until this many bars pass. Increase for fewer signals in choppy markets; decrease if you want faster signal refresh.
Show Prime/Standard/Caution/Exhaustion Signals
Toggle each signal type on or off based on your preference.
ZONE DISPLAY:
Show Trap Zones / Entry Zones / Target Zones / Stop Levels
Toggle each zone type on or off. Turning off zones you don't use reduces chart clutter.
Zone Transparency (Default: 88)
Controls how transparent zone boxes appear. Higher values (closer to 95) make zones barely visible; lower values (closer to 75) make them more prominent.
Zone History (Default: 25 bars)
How far back zone boxes extend on the chart. Purely visual preference.
BACKGROUND:
Background Mode (Options: Off, Subtle, Normal)
Controls whether and how intensely the chart background is colored. Subtle is barely noticeable; Normal is more visible; Off disables background coloring entirely.
Background Type (Options: Bias, Fuel)
- Bias : Colors background based on current directional lean (green for long, red for short)
- Fuel : Colors background based on momentum level (green for high fuel, amber for moderate, red for low)
DASHBOARD / QUICK PANEL:
Show Dashboard / Show Quick Panel
Toggle each panel on or off.
Compact Mode
When enabled, the main dashboard shows only essential rows (quality bars, bias, R:R, fuel, session) without entry/stop/target levels, volatility, velocity, or time remaining.
Position Settings
Choose where each panel appears on your chart from six options: Top Right, Top Left, Bottom Right, Bottom Left, Middle Right, Middle Left.
ALERTS:
Alert Prime Signals / Standard Signals / Fuel Exhaustion
Enable or disable TradingView alerts for each condition. When enabled, you can set up alerts in TradingView that will notify you when these conditions occur.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
RECOMMENDED TIMEFRAMES AND USAGE
OPTIMAL TIMEFRAMES:
- 1-minute to 5-minute : Best for active scalping with quick entries and exits
- 5-minute to 15-minute : Balanced scalping with slightly more confirmation
- 15-minute to 1-hour : Short-term swing entries, fewer but more significant signals
Zone visualizations only appear on intraday timeframes to prevent chart clutter on higher timeframes.
BEST PRACTICES:
1. Trade primarily during LONDON, NEW YORK, or OVERLAP sessions. The indicator weights these sessions higher for good reason - liquidity and movement are typically better.
2. Prioritize PRIME signals. These represent the highest confluence and have proven most reliable. Use STANDARD signals as secondary opportunities. Treat CAUTION signals with extra scrutiny.
3. Respect the Fuel Gauge. Avoid entering new positions when fuel is below 40%. When the EXIT signal appears, seriously consider closing or reducing positions.
4. Pay attention to TRAP warnings. When the dashboard shows a trap zone in your bias direction, be cautious about holding through that level.
5. Verify R:R before entry. The dashboard shows the risk-to-reward ratio. Ensure it meets your minimum requirements (many traders require at least 1.5:1 or 2:1).
6. When state shows AVOID or EXIT, step back. These conditions typically produce poor results.
7. Combine with your own analysis. SPM is a decision-support tool, not a standalone system. Use it alongside your understanding of market structure, news events, and overall context.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
PRACTICAL EXAMPLE
Scenario : You're watching a 5-minute chart during London session. A cyan diamond (Prime Long signal) appears below the bar.
Before entering, you check the dashboard:
- State shows "PRIME" - conditions are favorable
- Fuel shows "72% (8)" - plenty of momentum remaining (approximately 8 bars)
- R:R shows "1:2.3" - acceptable risk-to-reward ratio
- Session shows "LONDON" - active session with good liquidity
- No TRAP warning in dashboard - no immediate resistance cluster in your way
- Entry zone visible on chart at a lower price level
- Stop and Target zones clearly marked
With this confluence of factors, you have context for a more informed decision. The signal indicates quality, the fuel suggests momentum remains, the R:R is favorable, and no immediate trap threatens your trade.
However, you also notice the target zone sits just below where a trap zone would be if there were one. This is by design - SPM adjusts targets to avoid placing them inside reversal zones.
This multi-factor confirmation delivered in a single glance is what SPM provides.
Chart Example :This chart demonstrates how the Scalp Precision Matrix identifies key market transitions. After a strong bullish impulse (cyan PRIME signal at ~08:30), price reached a historical reversal cluster (TRAP ZONE at 92,300). The indicator detected momentum exhaustion (purple EXIT signal) as fuel dropped below 20%, warning traders to exit longs. Now showing a SHORT bias with entry/stop/target zones clearly marked. The 92% trap zone confluence indicates a strong cluster of previous swing highs where price historically reversed.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
DATA WINDOW VALUES
For detailed analysis and strategy development, SPM exports the following values to TradingView's Data Window (visible when you hover over the chart with the indicator selected):
- Long Quality Score (0-100)
- Short Quality Score (0-100)
- Fuel Gauge (0-100%)
- Risk:Reward Ratio
These values can be useful for understanding how the indicator behaves over time and for developing your own insights about when it works best for your trading style.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
NON-REPAINTING CONFIRMATION
All signals in SPM are generated using CONFIRMED bar data only. The signal logic references the previous closed bar's values ( and in Pine Script terms). This means:
- Signals appear at the OPEN of the new bar (after the previous bar closes)
- Signals will NEVER disappear once they appear
- Signals will NEVER change position on historical bars
- What you see in backtesting is what you would have seen in real-time
The dashboard and zones update in real-time to provide current market context, but the trading signals themselves are non-repainting.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS
TERMINOLOGY CLARIFICATION:
This indicator uses terms that might imply access to data it does not have. To be completely transparent:
- "Trap Zones" are calculated from historical swing point clustering. They are NOT institutional liquidity pools, order blocks, smart money footprints, or any form of order flow data. The term "trap" is metaphorical, describing how price has historically reversed at these levels.
- "Fuel Gauge" is a technical momentum proxy. It is NOT order flow, volume profile, depth of market, or bid/ask data. It estimates momentum remaining based entirely on standard OHLCV price and volume data.
- "Quality Scores" are weighted combinations of the technical factors described above. A high score indicates multiple conditions align favorably according to the indicator's logic. It does NOT predict or guarantee trade success.
- The percentages shown on trap zones are CONFLUENCE SCORES measuring cluster density and proximity. They are NOT probability predictions of reversal.
TRADING RISK WARNING:
Trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. This indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to assist with decision-making. It does not constitute financial advice, trading advice, or any other sort of advice. Past performance of any signal or pattern does not guarantee future results. Markets are inherently unpredictable.
Always use proper risk management. Define your risk before entering any trade. Never risk more than you can afford to lose. Consider consulting with a licensed financial advisor before making trading decisions.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ORIGINALITY STATEMENT - NOT A MASHUP
Scalp Precision Matrix is an original work that combines several analytical concepts into a purpose-built scalping framework. While individual components like ATR calculations, pivot detection, session timing, and trend alignment exist in various forms elsewhere, the specific implementation here represents original synthesis:
- The Fuel Gauge decay model with its four-component weighted calculation
- The Trap Zone cluster detection with confluence scoring
- The multi-factor quality scoring system that integrates all layers
- The trap-aware entry and target zone placement logic
- The volatility regime adaptation across all components
- The session weighting is integrated into the quality assessment
The indicator does not simply overlay separate indicators on one chart. It creates interconnected layers where each component informs and adjusts the others. This integration is the core originality of SPM.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
For best results, combine SPM with your own market understanding and always practice proper risk management.

CandelaCharts - SMT 📝 Overview
The CandelaCharts – SMT indicator is a professional-grade Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergence detector designed to compare price action between correlated markets (intermarket analysis).
It identifies moments where the main chart makes a swing high or low while one or more comparison symbols fail to confirm the move—revealing potential institutional imbalance, distribution, or accumulation .
By automatically detecting pivot-based divergences and drawing clean, contextual lines and labels directly on price, SMT helps traders spot high-probability reversal or continuation zones driven by relative strength and weakness across markets.
📦 Features
Automatic SMT divergence detection – Identifies divergences between the main chart and up to two comparison symbols.
Pivot-based logic – Uses swing highs and swing lows to ensure structurally meaningful SMT signals.
Dual-symbol comparison – Compare the main market against one or two correlated instruments simultaneously.
Bullish & bearish SMT filtering – Show only bullish, bearish, or both divergence types.
Clear visual mapping – Divergence lines are drawn directly between pivots for intuitive price-context reading.
Smart labels – Compact labels display symbol(s), volume, and directional markers.
Detailed tooltips – Hover tooltips include divergence type, symbols involved, prices, volume, timestamps, and pivot settings.
Highly customizable visuals – Control colors, line width, and label styling.
⚙️ Settings
Lookback – Pivot lookback length used to detect swing highs and lows. Higher values produce fewer but more significant SMT signals.
Bias – Control which SMTs are displayed: Both, Bearish or Bullish
Swing High Color – Line and label color for SMT at swing highs.
Swing Low Color – Line and label color for SMT at swing lows.

⚠️ Disclaimer
This indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute financial or investment advice. Trading and investing involve substantial risk, and losses can exceed expectations. Past performance is not indicative of future results. You are solely responsible for your trading decisions. CandelaCharts assumes no liability for any outcomes resulting from the use of this indicator.
Pullbacks CompletoThis indicator is a comprehensive Trend Following toolkit that combines two distinct, high-probability pullback strategies into a single, intelligent interface. It is designed to help traders identify precise entry points during corrections in established trends, filtering out low-quality noise.
The indicator features Smart Conflict Detection: if the two strategies generate opposing signals on the same candle, the system blocks the individual alerts and displays a Purple "X", warning the trader of market indecision.
Strategy 1: Stoch Pullback (Triangles)
Visual: Green/Red Triangles Logic:
Trend: Defined by the alignment of the Fast EMA (21) and Slow EMA (100).
The Setup: The indicator waits for the Stochastic RSI to enter an Overbought or Oversold zone.
Strict Filter: A signal is only valid if, while in the zone, the price physically tests the Fast EMA (closes against it). This filters out "shallow" pullbacks.
Trigger: The signal is fired when the Stochastic RSI crosses back out of the extreme zone, resuming the trend.
Strategy 2: Dave Landry Setup (Dots)
Visual: Green/Red Circles Logic:
Trend: Filtered by MACD Histogram momentum and the relation to the Fast EMA (21).
The Pattern: Looks for a correction of at least 2 candles making lower lows (for uptrends) or higher highs (for downtrends).
Trigger: Enters when the price breaks the high/low of the previous candle, provided it closes in favor of the EMA 21.
Anti-Climax Filter: Includes a "Stretched" filter to prevent buying/selling on exhausted "Elephant Bars" (huge candles that have already consumed the move).
Key Features
Dual Alert System: Receive specific alerts for "Pullback" or "Landry" setups.
Conflict Warning: If Strategy A says "Buy" and Strategy B says "Sell" simultaneously, a "Doubtful Signal" alert is triggered, and a purple Cross appears on the chart.
Smart Visibility: The indicator automatically hides or shows the Moving Averages depending on which strategies you have enabled in the settings.
Educational Tooltips: Hover over the "i" icons in the settings menu to read the rationale behind each specific filter.
How to Use
Green Triangle: Look for Long opportunities (Stoch Pullback).
Green Dot: Look for Long opportunities (Landry Breakout).
Red Triangle: Look for Short opportunities (Stoch Pullback).
Red Dot: Look for Short opportunities (Landry Breakout).
Purple X: Stay Out. The setups are conflicting (Trend vs. Momentum disagreement).
Configuration You can toggle each strategy on/off in the settings menu. You can also choose to display the Overbought/Oversold background zones to visualize where the Stoch Pullback is "arming".
Breaker Blocks Finder | Gold | ProjectSyndicateProjectSyndicate Breaker Blocks Finder
📊 Overview
The ProjectSyndicate Breaker Blocks Finder (PS BB Finder) is a professional-grade Pine Script indicator designed to detect and display Bullish and Bearish Breaker Blocks based on Smart Money Concepts (SMC) methodology. This indicator is specifically optimized for XAUUSD (Gold) trading but works reliably across all symbols and timeframes.
Key Features
✅ Non-Repainting: Breaker blocks never change position after formation
✅ Multi-Timeframe Support: Optimized for M5, M10, M15, M20, M30, and H1
✅ Highly Customizable: 10+ user-configurable settings

✅ Cross-Symbol Compatible: Works on Forex, Crypto, Stocks, Indices, and Commodities
✅ Displacement Detection: Uses ATR-based displacement to filter false signals
🎯 What are Breaker Blocks?
A Breaker Block is a failed order block that becomes a new support or resistance zone after being invalidated by price. It represents a market structure shift where institutional traders (smart money) have flipped their position.
Bullish Breaker Block
A Bullish Breaker Block forms when:
1 A bearish order block (resistance zone) exists
2 Price breaks ABOVE this zone with strong displacement
3 The former resistance zone now becomes SUPPORT
4 Price may retest this zone before continuing higher
Visual: Green box with "BB ▲" label
Bearish Breaker Block
A Bearish Breaker Block forms when:
5 A bullish order block (support zone) exists
6 Price breaks BELOW this zone with strong displacement
7 The former support zone now becomes RESISTANCE
8 Price may retest this zone before continuing lower
Visual: Red box with "BB ▼" label
⚙️ Default Settings
Setting Default Range Description
Lookback Period 1000 100-5000 Number of historical candles to analyze
Max Breaker Blocks 5 1-50 Maximum number of breaker blocks to display
Swing Detection Length 10 2-20 Bars on each side to confirm swing high/low. Higher = more significant swings
Use Displacement Filter true true/false Enable to filter breaker blocks by displacement size
Displacement Multiplier 2.0 0.5-5.0 Minimum move size as multiple of ATR. Higher = stricter detection

🎓 How to Use
Step 1: Identify Breaker Blocks
Once the indicator is loaded, breaker blocks will automatically appear on your chart:
• Green boxes = Bullish breaker blocks (former resistance, now support)
• Red boxes = Bearish breaker blocks (former support, now resistance)
Step 2: Wait for Retest
The most reliable trading opportunities occur when price retests the breaker block zone:
• For bullish breaker blocks, wait for price to come back down to the green zone
• For bearish breaker blocks, wait for price to come back up to the red zone
Step 3: Look for Confluence
Combine breaker blocks with other SMC concepts for higher probability setups:
• Fair Value Gaps (FVG) within the breaker block zone
• Liquidity grabs before the retest
• Break of Structure (BoS) or Change of Character (ChoCH) confirmation
Step 4: Enter the Trade
Bullish Setup:
• Entry: At or near the bullish breaker block zone
• Stop Loss: Below the breaker block
• Take Profit: Previous swing high or higher
Bearish Setup:
• Entry: At or near the bearish breaker block zone
• Stop Loss: Above the breaker block
• Take Profit: Previous swing low or lower
🛡️ Non-Repainting Guarantee
This indicator is 100% non-repainting, meaning:
✅ Breaker blocks never change position after formation
✅ Historical breaker blocks remain in the exact same location indefinitely
✅ Backtesting results are reliable and consistent
🐛 Troubleshooting
Issue: No Breaker Blocks Appearing
Solutions:
• Ensure "Use Displacement Filter" is enabled.
• On M30/H1, try lowering the "Displacement Multiplier" to 1.0.
• Scroll back in history; blocks may not be present on the most recent bars.
Issue: Too Many Breaker Blocks
Solutions:
• Increase "Displacement Multiplier" to 2.5 or 3.0.
• Increase "Swing Detection Length" to 12-15.
• Decrease "Max Breaker Blocks" to 3-4.
Wave Dynamics - Neural Adaptive Engine🌊 WAVE DYNAMICS - NEURAL ADAPTIVE ENGINE
The Official Reference Manual & Trading Protocol
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📖 PREFACE: THE END OF STATIC ANALYSIS
The financial markets are not linear; they are fractal. They do not move in straight lines; they breathe. They expand in trending volatility and contract in chopping noise.
The fundamental failure of traditional technical analysis is Static Sensitivity .
• A 14-period RSI works beautifully in a range but fails in a trend.
• A 12,26 MACD captures trends but destroys capital in chop.
Wave Dynamics solves this by treating the market as a living organism. At its core is a Neural Adaptive Engine that calculates the Hurst Exponent (Fractal Dimension) in real-time. It measures the "roughness" of price action and automatically adjusts the lookback periods of every subsystem—Waves, Ribbons, and Oscillators—to match the current market regime.
This manual is your guide to navigating this adaptive framework.
PART 1: THEOLOGY & MARKET PHYSICS
To use this tool, you must understand the three pillars of its logic:
1. The Hurst Exponent (Chaos Theory)
The engine continuously calculates H (Hurst) on a rolling window.
• Persistent Regime (H > 0.5): "What is happening now is likely to continue." The market is trending. The Engine Tightens sensitivity to catch fast pullbacks.
• Anti-Persistent Regime (H < 0.5): "What is happening now is likely to reverse." The market is chopping/ranging. The Engine Widens sensitivity to filter out noise and stop runs.
2. The Elliott Wave Cycle (Crowd Psychology)
Price moves in 5-wave motive sequences followed by corrections.
• Waves 1 & 3: Institutional Accumulation/Mark-up.
• Waves 2 & 4: Profit Taking (The Pullback). These are the only safe entry points.
• Wave 5: Retail FOMO (The Trap). Identified by Momentum Divergence .
3. Smart Money Concepts (Liquidity)
Price moves from liquidity to liquidity.
• Order Blocks: Where institutions initiated the move.
• Breakers: Where institutions trapped traders (Support flips to Resistance).
• Fair Value Gaps: Where price moved too fast, leaving inefficiency.
PART 2: VISUAL INTELLIGENCE (COLOR THEORY)
The chart communicates instantly through a strict color-coded language.
🎨 THE RIBBON (Adaptive Equilibrium)
The background "Cloud" is an Adaptive EMA ribbon.
• Neon Green (#00FF88): Bullish Trend. Only look for Longs. Price is above the equilibrium mean.
• Neon Red (#FF3366): Bearish Trend. Only look for Shorts. Price is below the equilibrium mean.
• Grey/Narrow: Compression. The market is deciding. Do not trade inside a grey ribbon.
🎨 INSTITUTIONAL ZONES
• Green/Red Boxes (Order Blocks): Standard Support/Resistance. Valid entry zones, but lower probability.
• Vivid Purple Boxes (#9C27B0) - THE BREAKER: CRITICAL. This appears when a Green Order Block is smashed through by price. It turns Purple to signify it has flipped from Support to Resistance (or vice versa). A retest of a Purple Zone is the highest probability setup in the system.
• Dotted Outlines (FVG): Magnets. Do not place stops inside these; price will likely travel through them.
🎨 WAVE ANATOMY
• Cyan Lines: Valid Impulse Waves (1, 3, 5).
• Orange Lines/Dots: EXHAUSTION. If a wave line turns Orange, Angular Momentum is decaying. The trend is dying.
• Diamonds (◆): DIVERGENCE. Price made a Higher High, but the internal oscillator (MPI) made a Lower Low. Immediate reversal warning.
🎨 SIGNALS
• Triangles: Confirmed Entries. (Green = Long, Red = Short).
• Labels (e.g., A+): The Grade of the trade based on Confluence.
• A+: Perfect Confluence (Trend + Structure + Zone + Momentum).
• C: Counter-trend or Weak.
PART 3: THE DASHBOARD ECOSYSTEM
Three panels provide Total Situational Awareness. You must read them in order: Top Right → Bottom Left → Bottom Right.
1. MISSION CONTROL (Top Right)
This panel tells you the "Weather Report."
• Neural Status:
• 🧠 TREND: Safe to trade breakout and trend-following strategies.
• 🧠 CHOP: Danger. Use mean-reversion or stay out.
• 🧠 RND (Random): No clear edge.
• Phase: Displays the Bias (Bull/Bear) and Strength. "WEAK BEARISH" usually signals a bottom is forming.
• Score Bar: A live visual meter of the Confluence Score (0-100%).
2. THE ASSISTANT (Bottom Left)
This panel acts as your co-pilot, translating data into English.
• Situation:
• "💎 BULL GEM": You are in a range, at the bottom, showing exhaustion. Buy immediately.
• "🔥 COMPRESSION": Volatility squeeze. A violent move is imminent.
• Action: Tells you exactly what to do (e.g., "Wait for confluence," "Trail Stop," "Let it develop").
• Pro Metrics (Simulated):
• Win Rate: The percentage of signals on the current visible chart that hit Target 1.
• Profit Factor: Gross Win / Gross Loss. If this is < 1.0, stop trading this asset immediately.
• Buckets: Shows the win rate of A-Grade signals vs. C-Grade signals.
3. WAVE INTELLIGENCE (Bottom Right)
This panel provides structural context.
• Channel Gauge (0-100%):
• 0-20%: Oversold / Channel Bottom.
• 80-100%: Overbought / Channel Top.
• 50%: Equilibrium.
• W3/W1 Ratio: The "Health Check" of the trend.
• < 1.0: Weak. Wave 3 is shorter than Wave 1. The trend is struggling.
• > 1.618: Extended. The move is parabolic. Expect a snap-back.
• Trend Health (0-100): Composite score of sub-wave physics. If Health < 30, the trend is effectively dead.
PART 4: PARAMETER OPTIMIZATION (THE INPUTS)
Every input allows you to tune the engine. Here is the deep dive:
🧠 NEURAL ADAPTIVE ENGINE
• Enable Neural Adaptive Engine: Master switch for the Hurst calculation.
• Hurst Period (100):
• Adjustment: Increase to 200 for Crypto/Alts (too much noise). Decrease to 50 for
Forex/Indices (need speed).
• How to tell: If the dashboard says "TREND" but the chart is sideways, INCREASE this value.
• Min/Max Lookback: Defines the constraints. Only adjust if you are an advanced user creating a custom scalping setup (e.g., Min 3 / Max 10).
🌊 WAVE & STRUCTURE
• Base Swing Detection (8): The "Anchor."
• Scalpers (1m-5m): Set to 5-8.
• Swing Traders (1H-4H): Set to 15-20.
• Min Wave Size (ATR): Prevents the script from labeling tiny wicks as waves. Increase this during high-volatility news events.
🔗 MTF STRUCTURE MAPPING
• Require Macro Align: Strict Mode. If enabled, the script checks the Higher Timeframe (e.g., 4H). If 4H is Bearish, it BLOCKS all Long signals on the 5m chart. Use this to prevent counter-trend losses.
🏦 SMART MONEY CONCEPTS
• Enable Breakers: ALWAYS ON. This turns failed Order Blocks into Breaker Zones (Purple).
• Institutional Mode: ULTRA STRICT. If enabled, signals will ONLY fire if price is physically touching an Order Block, FVG, or Breaker. This creates very few, very high-quality signals.
🎯 SIGNAL ENGINE
• Signal Mode:
• Strict: Grades A+ and A only.
• Balanced: Grades B and above.
• Aggressive: Includes counter-trend scalps (Grade C).
• Min Confluence Score (5-35): The raw points needed to trigger. 5 is standard. 10 is conservative.
PART 5: TRADE EXECUTION PLAYBOOKS
PLAYBOOK A: THE "BREAKER RETEST" (Highest Probability)
1. Context: Ribbon is Green.
2. Event: Price creates a Red Order Block, then smashes upward through it.
3. Change: The Red Block turns Purple (Bullish Breaker).
4. Trigger: Price pulls back down to touch the top of the Purple Box.
5. Signal: Green Triangle appears.
6. Action: Max Size Entry. Stop Loss below the Purple Box. Target Wave 3 Projection.
PLAYBOOK B: THE "WAVE 4 DIP" (Trend Following)
1. Context: Wave count shows "3". Ribbon is Green.
2. Event: Price pulls back towards the Ribbon.
3. Wave Panel: Wave count flips to "4".
4. Trigger: Price touches Ribbon, prints Green Triangle.
5. Action: Standard Size Entry. Stop Loss at Swing Low. Target New High (Wave 5).
PLAYBOOK C: THE "HIDDEN GEM" (Range Reversal)
1. Context: Ribbon is Grey (Consolidation). Neural Status is CHOP.
2. Wave Panel: Channel Gauge is < 10% (Extreme Bottom).
3. Visuals: Orange Exhaustion Dot + Divergence Diamond (◆).
4. Assistant: Reads "💎 BULL GEM".
5. Action: Half Size Entry. This is a counter-trend trade. Target the middle of the range (50% Channel).
PLAYBOOK D: THE "BULL TRAP" (When to Fold)
1. Context: Wave Count is "5".
2. Wave Panel: Trend Health < 30. W3/W1 Ratio > 1.618 (Extended).
3. Visuals: Orange Line appears on price high.
4. Signal: Green Triangle appears (Grade C).
5. Action: NO TRADE. The system is warning you that even though a signal fired, the structural physics indicate exhaustion.
PART 6: GRADING & SCORING MATRIX
Every signal is graded on a 35-point scale. Know what you are buying.
• Trend Alignment (5 pts): Ribbon & HTF agreement.
• Structure (5 pts): BOS (Break of Structure) & Higher Highs.
• Physics (5 pts): MPI (Volume Flow) & Angular Velocity.
• Institutional Location (10 pts):
• Inside Order Block: +3 pts
• Inside Breaker: +4 pts
• Wave 2/4 Pullback: +3 pts
• Penalty: Wave 5 Extension (-3 pts).
Grade Scale:
• A+ (Score ≥ 70%): "All In" Setup.
• A (Score 55-69%): Strong Setup.
• B (Score 40-54%): Standard Setup.
• C (Score < 40%): Dangerous.
PART 7: RISK DISCLOSURE & LIMITATIONS
1. The Reality of Adaptation (Redrawing):
The Neural Engine is dynamic. As new data arrives, the calculation of "Chaos" changes. This means historical channel lines or wave labels may shift to fit the matured trend. HOWEVER: Entry Signals (Triangles) NEVER repaint once the bar is closed.
2. Simulation vs. Reality:
The Dashboard metrics (Win Rate, Profit Factor) are Simulations run on the historical data visible on your chart. They do not account for spread, slippage, or liquidity. They are a tool to gauge the current market personality, not a promise of future returns.
3. No Financial Advice:
Wave Dynamics is a tool for structural analysis. It helps you see the market, but it cannot trade for you. You are responsible for your own risk management.
CLOSING THOUGHTS
Wave Dynamics is not just an indicator; it is a lens. It allows you to see the market not as a random walk of candles, but as a structured, breathing entity.
Trust the Neural Status. Respect the Breakers. Fear the Exhaustion.
Taking you to school. — Dskyz, Trade with insight. Trade with anticipation.
Elliott Wave: Pro ForecastElliott Wave: Pro Forecast (Dual-Path Prediction)
The "Fork in the Road" for Price Action. Most indicators show you where price has been. This indicator predicts where price could go using standard Elliott Wave Fibonacci ratios and volatility analysis.
Unlike standard forecasters that force a single path, Pro Forecast acknowledges that the market is probabilistic. It visualizes the two most likely outcomes simultaneously:
Continuation: The current trend extends deeper (or higher).
Reversal: The trend exhausts and begins a new 5-wave motive structure.
How It Works
The script identifies the most recent "Live Pivot" (the unconfirmed high or low currently forming) and calculates volatility based on the previous swing. It then projects future price action using two distinct models:
The Extension Model: Projects a generic 0.5 volatility continuation.
The Wave Model: Projects a standard Elliott Wave 5-step sequence (or ABC correction) using classic Fibonacci ratios (0.382 retracements, 1.618 extensions).
Key Features
Dual-Path Visualization: See the Bearish breakdown and Bullish bounce scenarios at the same time.
"Dip Buy" Mode (Linked Scenarios): A unique feature that links the two paths. Instead of reversing now, it simulates a reversal starting after the extension. This is perfect for planning entries at lower support levels.
Smart Target Grid: Draws horizontal dotted lines at key price targets, making it easier to line up predictions with existing Support/Resistance zones.
Invalidation Level: Automatically marks the "Hard Stop" level (Start of Wave 1). If price crosses this red line, the bullish/bearish thesis is invalid.
Zero-Floor Logic: Smart math ensures projections never predict negative stock prices, even on high-volatility/low-cap assets.
Settings Guide
Sensitivity: Controls how fast pivots are detected.
Daily Chart: Recommend 3-4 for a 1-week outlook.
4H Chart: Recommend 8-12.
Show Continuation: Toggles the "Extension" line (Orange).
Show Reversal: Toggles the "Next Wave" sequence (Blue).
Start Reversal after Extension?:
Unchecked: Reversal starts from the current price (Current Bounce).
Checked: Reversal starts from the end of the Extension line (Future Bounce).
Risk Disclaimer
This tool is for educational purposes and visualization only. It projects geometric probabilities based on past volatility, not certainty. Always use proper risk management.
Kalman Absorption/Distribution Tracker 3-State EKFQuant-Grade Institutional Flow: 3-State EKF Absorption Tracker
SUMMARY
An advanced, open-source implementation of a 3-State Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) designed to track institutional Order Flow. By analyzing 1-second intrabar microstructure data, this script estimates the true Position, Velocity, and Volatility of the Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD), revealing hidden Absorption and Distribution events in real-time.
INTRODUCTION: THE SIGNAL AMIDST THE NOISE
In the world of technical analysis, noise is the enemy. Traditional indicators rely on Moving Averages (SMA, EMA) to smooth out price and volume data. The problem is the "Lag vs. Noise" paradox: to get a smooth signal, you must accept lag; to get a fast signal, you must accept noise.
This indicator solves that paradox by introducing aerospace-grade mathematics to the TradingView community: The 3-State Extended Kalman Filter (EKF).
Unlike moving averages that blindly average past data, a Kalman Filter is a probabilistic state-space model. It constantly predicts where the order flow "should" be, compares it to the actual measurement, and updates its internal model based on the calculated uncertainty of the market.
This script is not just another volume oscillator. It is a full microstructure analysis engine that digests intrabar data (down to 1-second resolution) to track the true intent of "Smart Money" while filtering out the noise of retail chop.
THE INNOVATION: WHY 3 STATES?
Most Kalman Filters found in public libraries are "1-State" (tracking price only) or occasionally "2-State" (tracking price and velocity). This script introduces a highly advanced 3-State EKF.
The filter tracks three distinct variables simultaneously in a feedback loop:
State 1: Position (The True CVD)
This is the noise-filtered estimate of the Cumulative Volume Delta. It represents the actual inventory accumulation of aggressive buyers versus sellers, stripped of random noise.
State 2: Velocity (The Momentum)
This tracks the rate of change of the order flow. Is buying accelerating? Is selling pressure fading even as price drops? This provides a leading signal before the cumulative value even turns.
State 3: Volatility (The Adaptive Regime)
This is the game-changer. The filter estimates the current volatility of the order flow (Log-Volatility). In high-volatility environments (like news events), the filter automatically widens its uncertainty bands (Covariance) and reacts faster. In low-volatility environments (chop), it tightens up and ignores minor fluctuations.
THE LOGIC: DETECTING ABSORPTION AND DISTRIBUTION
The core philosophy of this indicator is based on Wyckoff Logic: Effort vs. Result.
-- Effort: Represented by the CVD (Buying/Selling pressure).
-- Result: Represented by Price Movement.
When these two diverge, we have an actionable signal. The script uses the EKF Velocity state to detect these moments:
Absorption (Bullish)
This occurs when the EKF detects high negative Velocity (aggressive selling), but Price refuses to drop. The "Smart Money" is absorbing the sell orders via limit buys. The indicator highlights this as a Blue Event in the dashboard.
Distribution (Bearish)
This occurs when the EKF detects high positive Velocity (aggressive buying), but Price refuses to rise. Limit sellers are capping the market. The indicator highlights this as an Orange Event.
TECHNICAL DEEP DIVE: UNDER THE HOOD
For the developers and quants, here is how the Pine Script is architected using the "type" and "method" features of Pine Script v5.
1. Data Ingestion (Microstructure)
The script uses "request.security_lower_tf" to pull intrabar data regardless of your chart timeframe. This allows the script to see "inside" the bar. A 5-minute candle might look green, but the microstructure might reveal that 80% of the volume was selling absorption at the wick. This script sees that.
2. Tick Classification
Standard CVD assumes that if Price Close is greater than Price Open, all volume is buying. This is often flawed. This script offers three modes of tick handling, including a "High-Low Distribution" method that statistically apportions volume based on where the tick closed relative to its high and low.
3. The EKF Mathematics
The script implements the standard Extended Kalman Filter equations manually. It calculates the Jacobian matrix to handle the non-linear relationship between volatility and price. The "Process Noise Matrix" (Q) is dynamically scaled by the Volatility State. This means the mathematics of the indicator literally "breathe" with the market conditions—expanding during expansion and contracting during consolidation.
THE DASHBOARD & VISUALS:
The indicator features a professional-grade HUD (Heads Up Display) located on the chart table.
-- EKF State Vector: Displays the real-time Position, Velocity, and Volatility values derived from the matrix.
-- Ease of Movement (Wyckoff): Calculates how much price moves per 1,000 contracts of CVD. For example, if Price moves +5 points per 1k Buy CVD, but only -2 points per 1k Sell CVD, the "Path of Least Resistance" is clearly UP.
-- Session State: Tracks cumulative confirmed Bullish vs. Bearish events for Today, Yesterday, and the Day Before (3-Day Profile).
-- Bias Summary: An algorithmic conclusion telling you if the day is "Confirmed Bullish," "Accumulating," or "Neutral."
HOW TO TRADE THIS INDICATOR
Strategy A: The Reversal (Absorption Play)
Look for price making a Lower Low.
Look for the EKF Velocity (Histogram) to be Deep Red (High Selling Pressure).
Watch the Dashboard "Absorption" count increase.
SIGNAL: When EKF Velocity crosses back toward zero and turns grey/green, the absorption is complete. This indicates sellers are exhausted and limit buyers have control.
Strategy B: The Trend Continuation (Ease of Movement)
Check the Dashboard "Ease of Movement" section.
If "Price per +1K CVD" is significantly higher than "Price per -1K CVD", buyers are efficient.
Wait for a pullback where EKF Velocity hits the "Neutral Zone" (Gray).
SIGNAL: Enter Long when Velocity ticks positive again, aligning with the dominant Ease of Movement stats.
CONFIGURATION GUIDE:
Because this is a quant-grade tool, the settings allow for fine-tuning the physics of the filter.
-- Velocity Decay: Controls how fast momentum resets to zero. Set high (0.98) for trending markets, or lower (0.85) for mean-reverting chop.
-- Volatility Persistence: Controls how "sticky" volatility regimes are.
-- Process Noise: Increase this if the filter feels too laggy; decrease it if the filter feels too jittery (noisy).
-- Measurement Noise: Increase this to trust the Mathematical Model more than the Price Data (smoother output).
WHY OPEN SOURCE?
Complex statistical filtering is often sold behind closed doors in expensive "Black Box" algorithms. By releasing this 3-State EKF open source, the goal is to raise the standard of development on TradingView.
I encourage the community to inspect the code, specifically the "ekf_update_3state" function, to understand how matrix operations can be simulated in Pine Script to create adaptive, self-correcting indicators. And also update me for improvements.
DISCLAIMER:
This tool analyzes microstructure volume data. It requires a subscription plan that supports Intrabar inspection (Premium/Pro recommended for best results). Past performance of the Kalman Filter logic does not guarantee future results. Volume analysis is subjective and should be used as part of a comprehensive strategy.
SUGGESTED SETTINGS
-- Timeframe: Works best on 1m, 3m, or 5m charts (Intrabar data is fetched from 1S).
-- Asset Class: Highly effective on Futures (ES, NQ, BTC) and high-volume Forex/Crypto pairs where volume data is reliable.
-- Background: Dark mode recommended for Dashboard visibility.
WHAT IS A KALMAN FILTER?
Imagine driving a car into a tunnel where your GPS signal is lost.
Prediction: Your car knows its last speed (Velocity) and position. It predicts where you are every second inside the tunnel.
Update: When you exit the tunnel, the GPS connects again. The system compares where it thought you were versus where the satellite says you are.
Correction: It corrects your position and updates its estimate of your speed.
Now apply this to trading:
-- The Tunnel: Market Noise, wicks, and Fake-outs.
-- The Car: The True Market Trend.
-- This Indicator: The navigation system that tells you where the market actually is, ignoring the noise of the tunnel.
Enjoy the indicator and trade safe!

# 📘 Ultimate Futures Daytrade Suite – The Strategy Guide
### 1. The Visual Legend (What is what?)
Before you trade, you need to understand the hierarchy of your lines. Not every line has the same importance.
* **🟣 Daily EMA 50 (Neon Violet):** The **"Big Boss"**. It determines the **Macro Trend**.
* *Price above:* We are primarily looking for Longs.
* *Price below:* We are primarily looking for Shorts.
* **🟢 4h EMA 50 (Neon Green):** The **"Swing Trend"**. Your most important level for **Pullback Entries** (Re-entries).
* **🟡 POC (Gold) & TPO:** The **"Magnet"**. Price often returns here.
* *Rule:* Never open a trade directly *on* the POC (Risk of "Chop"). Use it as a **Target** (Take Profit).
* **🟠 IB High/Low (Orange Lines):** The **"Daily Structure"**.
* A breakout from the IB (Initial Balance) often indicates the trend direction for the day.
* **🟥/🟩 Boxes (Supply/Demand):** Resistance and Support zones from the 1h timeframe.
* **⬜ FVG Boxes:** "Gaps" in the market that are often filled.
---
### 2. The Trading Workflow (Top-Down Method)
Go through this mental checklist before every trade:
#### Step 1: Trend Check (The Traffic Light)
Look at the **Violet Line (Daily)** and the **Green Line (4h)**.
* **Bullish:** Price is above Violet AND above Green. -> *Focus: Buy dips.*
* **Bearish:** Price is below Violet AND below Green. -> *Focus: Sell rallies.*
* **Mixed:** Price is between Violet and Green. -> *Caution! Market is undecided (Range Trading).*
#### Step 2: Location (The Context)
Where is the price currently located?
* Are we at a **Green Demand Zone**?
* Are we testing the **4h EMA 50 (Green)** from above?
* Are we at the **VWAP**?
* *Never trade in "No Man's Land"!* Wait until the price touches one of your lines.
#### Step 3: Trigger (The Execution)
Now zoom into your lower timeframe (e.g., 5min or 15min).
* Wait for a reaction at the zone.
* Use the **EMA 9 (Yellow)** as a momentum trigger. If price breaks the EMA 9 and closes above/below it, that is your "Go".
---
### 3. The Setup Blueprints
Here are the two most profitable scenarios you can trade with this script:
#### A) The "Golden Trend" Setup (Long)
* **Context:** Price > **Daily EMA (Violet)**.
* **Preparation:** Price corrects (drops) back to the **4h EMA 50 (Green)** or to the **VWAP**.
* **Confluence:** Ideally, there is also a **Demand Zone (Green Box)** or an **FVG** at that level.
* **Entry:** As soon as a candle touches the zone and closes bullish again (or reclaims the EMA 9).
* **Stop-Loss:** Below the 4h EMA 50.
* **Take-Profit:** Next **Supply Zone (Red)** or the **IB High (Orange)**.
#### B) The "Daytrade Breakout" (Intraday)
* **Context:** Price opens inside yesterday's Value Area.
* **Signal:** Price breaks through the **IB High (Orange)** with momentum.
* **Filter:** Price must be above the **VWAP**.
* **Entry:** On the retest of the IB High or directly on the breakout.
* **Target:** Price often trends in that direction for the rest of the day.
---
### 4. Warning Signals (When NOT to trade)
1. **The "Concrete Ceiling":** If you want to go Long, but the **Violet Daily EMA 50** is running directly above you. This is massive resistance. Better wait until it is broken.
2. **The "POC Dance":** If price is dancing sideways around the **Gold Line (POC)**. This is a "No-Trade Zone". Day traders lose the most money here due to fees and whipsaws.
3. **Overextension:** If price is extremely far away from the **4h EMA 50 (Green)** (Rubber Band Effect). Do not enter in the trend direction here; wait for a pullback to the line.
### Summary
Your chart is now telling you a story:
* **Violet** tells you the Direction.
* **Green** gives you the Entry.
* **Red/Green Boxes** show you the Obstacles.
* **Yellow (EMA 9)** gives you the Timing.
Good luck with the Suite! This is a setup similar to what institutional traders use.

EDUVEST QQE Grade System - S/A/B/C Signal ClassificationEDUVEST QQE Grade System - S/A/B/C Signal Classification
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ ORIGINALITY
This indicator introduces a unique grading system (S/A/B/C) for QQE signals, combining traditional QQE analysis with SMC (Smart Money Concepts) price zones and trading session filters. Unlike standard QQE indicators that show all signals equally, this version classifies signals by quality to help traders focus on the highest probability setups.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ WHAT IT DOES
- Generates BUY/SELL signals with S/A/B/C grade classification
- Automatically detects asset type and applies optimized QQE factors
- Integrates SMC price zones (support/resistance) for grade enhancement
- Filters signals by trading session time
- Displays real-time session and market status
Grade Hierarchy:
- S (Gold/Orange): Signal near SMC zone + active trading hours - Highest quality
- A (Green/Red): Score 70+ during trading hours - High quality
- B (Darker): Score 50-69 during trading hours - Medium quality
- C (Gray, small): Outside trading hours or weak signal - Low quality
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ HOW IT WORKS
【QQE Core Calculation】
The QQE (Quantitative Qualitative Estimation) is calculated as:
1. RSI with configurable period (default: 14)
2. EMA smoothing of RSI (Smoothing Factor: 5)
3. Dynamic bands using Wilder's smoothing: RSI ± (ATR of RSI × QQE Factor)
QQE Factor is auto-adjusted per asset:
- USD/JPY: 4.238
- EUR/USD: 3.8
- Gold (XAU/USD): 8.0
- NASDAQ/US100: 9.0
【Signal Generation】
- BUY: QQE line crosses above its trailing stop (QQExlong == 1)
- SELL: QQE line crosses below its trailing stop (QQExshort == 1)
【Internal Scoring System】
Score components (0-100):
- Signal Base: +25 points when signal occurs
- QQE Strength: +10 to +20 based on RSI distance from 50
- Volatility: +15 (optimal ATR ratio 1.1-2.0), -10 (low volatility)
- Volume Confirmation: +10 (high volume), -5 (low volume)
- Session Bonus: +5 during London/NY sessions
- Base: +20 points
【Grade Assignment】
- Grade S: Signal near user-defined SMC price zone (within tolerance %) AND during trading hours
- Grade A: Internal score >= 70 AND during trading hours
- Grade B: Internal score >= 50 AND during trading hours
- Grade C: Outside trading hours OR score < 50
【SMC Price Zone Integration】
Users can set support/resistance levels for each asset. When price is within the tolerance percentage of these levels, signals are upgraded to S-grade, indicating confluence with institutional price levels.
【Trading Session Filter】
Configurable active trading hours (JST timezone):
- Default: 15:00 - 01:00 JST (London + NY overlap)
- Signals outside this window receive C-grade
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ HOW TO USE
【Recommended Settings】
- Timeframe: 15M, 1H, 4H
- Best on: USD/JPY, EUR/USD, Gold, NASDAQ
- Focus on: S and A grade signals
【Trading Strategy】
- S-Grade (Gold/Orange): Highest conviction - consider larger position
- A-Grade (Green/Red): Strong signal - standard position
- B-Grade: Valid but use additional confirmation
- C-Grade: Avoid or use minimal size
【Setting Up SMC Zones】
1. Identify key support/resistance on higher timeframe
2. Input prices in SMC Price Settings
3. Adjust tolerance % (default: 0.15%)
4. S-grade appears when signal occurs near these levels
【Info Panel】
Top-right panel shows:
- Asset name and detection mode (Auto/Manual)
- Current session (Tokyo/London/NY)
- Trading hours status
- SMC zone proximity
【Alert Setup】
1. Enable alerts in settings
2. Create alert with "Any alert() function call"
3. Alerts include grade, price, and session info
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ SETTINGS
Basic Settings:
- Enable Alerts: Turn on/off notifications
