Examples (recommended setups)
Example 1 — Your main setup (10m ORB on intraday chart)
Goal: trade ORB normally with minimal complexity
Chart TF: 1m / 3m / 5m
ORB:
Mode: Auto
ORB Window: 10m
Calc TF: 10m (or 5m if you want slightly earlier structure)
Sensitivity: Medium
Breakout Condition: Close
TP Method: Dynamic
Stop Loss: Balanced
Visuals:

Mean Reversion [SIMI]This mean reversion indicator identifies extreme price deviations from the mean, providing high-probability reversal signals. Designed for confluence-based trading, it works best when combined with complementary indicators such as VWAP, price action, and volume analysis.
📊 Core Features
Signal Types
Prime Signals (Bright Green/Red Dots): Extreme reversions usually beyond ±1.5 SD - highest probability setups (you can customise this zone!)
Regular Signals (Dark Green/Red Dots): Standard reversions - moderate probability
Leader Line (Pink Dotted): Early warning indicator for potential reversals
Histogram Weakness: Momentum divergence signals
Normalisation Methods:
Institutional Hybrid (Z-ATR) (Recommended): Volatility-adjusted Z-score - adapts to changing market conditions
Percentile Ranking: Statistical ranking - excellent for ranging markets
PPO + ATR Hybrid: Percentage-based with volatility adjustment
Efficiency Ratio: Trend-strength weighted
ATR: Pure volatility-based
None: Raw Z-score
⚙️ Quick Setup Guide
1. Institutional Presets
Pre-configured parameter sets optimised for different timeframes:
5M Day Trading (5/21/5): Intraday scalping
1H Options Trading (6/24/5): Options-focused setups
1D Monthly Cycle (5/20/5): Swing trading
2. Signal Filtering
Prime Thresholds: Adjust ±1.5 SD to control signal quality (tighter = fewer, higher quality, adjust this zone per asset traded)
Dot Filters: Fine-tune entry zones (-0.03/+0.03 default - this ignores noisy signals near Zero line)
Volume Filter: Enable to require volume confirmation (1.4x average recommended, but fine tune yourself)
3. Advanced Filters
Dynamic SD Thresholds: Auto-adjusts for volatility regimes (tighter in low vol, wider in high vol)
Time of Day Filter: Avoids first 30 minutes, last 15 minutes, and lunch hour (11:30-13:00 EST)
💡 Trading Strategy Recommendations
Optimal Usage
This indicator is not intended as a standalone system. Use it for confluence alongside:
VWAP (institutional positioning)
Price action (support/resistance)
Options flow (institutional direction)
Volume analysis (conviction confirmation)
Signal Interpretation
Prime Signals: Wait for these for highest-probability entries - mean reversion may take hours to days
Manual Entries: Don't wait for dots - trade the ±2 SD zones directly using your own confirmation
Options Strategy: Prime sell signals at +2 SD make excellent short call setups; prime buy signals at -2 SD for long calls
Timeframe Guidance
Lower Timeframes (1M-5M): Higher noise - require additional confluence
Higher Timeframes (1H-1D): More reliable signals - suitable for options and swing trades
Best Results: Multi-timeframe analysis (check 1H and 4H alignment on 5M entries)
🔔 Alert System
Master Alert
Enable customisable alerts via the Master Alert System:
Toggle individual signal types (Prime Buy/Sell, SD Crosses, Leader, Histogram)
Receives bespoke messages with ticker, timeframe, and price
One alert condition handles all selected signals
Individual Alerts
Separate alert conditions available for Prime and Regular signals if preferred.
📈 Backtesting Notes
Important: Backtest results are date-sensitive and should not be the primary focus. Instead:
Dial in settings visually on your chosen asset
Aim for signals near actual tops and bottoms
Test different normalisation methods for your specific instrument
Optimise for signal quality, not backtest ROI
Asset Testing: Primarily developed using SPY, QQQ, and IWM as main assets to trade. Other instruments may require parameter adjustment - mess around!
Backtest Engine
Entry/Exit modes (All Signals, Prime Only, Early Signals)
Position sizing (percentage-based)
Slippage and fill method (candle close recommended)
Date range selection
⚠️ Best Practices
Always use confluence - never trade on MR signals alone
Start with Institutional Hybrid normalisation - most adaptive to market conditions
Focus on Prime signals for quality over quantity
Test on your specific asset - optimal settings vary by instrument
Longer timeframes = higher reliability - 1H+ for best results
Enable Time Filter on intraday charts to avoid volatile periods
Use Dynamic SD in highly volatile markets (earnings, FOMC, etc.)
🛠️ Troubleshooting
Too many signals: Increase Prime Thresholds or enable Volume Filter
Too few signals: Decrease Prime Thresholds or reduce Dot Filters
False signals: Enable Time of Day Filter and Dynamic SD
Signals don't align with tops/bottoms: Try different normalisation method

Michael LipsiusTitle: Michael Multi-Timeframe Trend Dashboard (HTF Bias & LTF Execution)
Description:
Overview This indicator is a specialized Top-Down Analysis tool designed to assist traders in identifying the dominant market direction across multiple timeframes instantly. Built around the principles of Michael's Trading Strategy and institutional trend following, this dashboard eliminates the noise and provides a clear, color-coded directional bias (Prognosis) for both High Time Frame (HTF) structure and Low Time Frame (LTF) momentum.
Core Functionality The dashboard generates a real-time matrix displayed directly on the chart, analyzing price action relative to the 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA). This specific metric is chosen to filter out minor fluctuations and reveal the true institutional flow of money.
1. High Time Frame (HTF) Prognosis – The "Compass" The indicator monitors the Daily (D1) and 4-Hour (H4) timeframes to establish the macro trend.
Bullish 🟢: Price is holding above the 50 EMA. This indicates that Smart Money is accumulating, and traders should focus primarily on Long setups.
Bearish 🔴: Price is trading below the 50 EMA. This suggests institutional distribution, meaning Short setups have a higher probability of success.
Purpose: The HTF modules act as your safety filter. By respecting the D1/H4 signals, you avoid trading against the major trend, significantly reducing the risk of being stopped out by macro flows.
2. Low Time Frame (LTF) Execution – The "Trigger" Simultaneously, the indicator analyzes the 1-Hour (H1) and 15-Minute (M15) timeframes.
These timeframes are crucial for timing entries and managing intraday volatility.
Conflict Warning: If the HTF is Bullish (Green) but the LTF is Bearish (Red), the market is likely in a pullback phase. This warns the trader to wait for the LTF to realign with the HTF before entering.
How to Use This Tool This dashboard is designed to be the first step in your trading routine:
Check Confluence: Look for a "Full Green" or "Full Red" board. When D1, H4, and H1 align, the probability of a successful trade increases exponentially.
Identify Pullbacks: If D1/H4 are Green, but M15 is Red, do not sell. Instead, treat this as a discount phase and wait for the M15 to flip back to Green for a high-precision entry.
Risk Management: Use the HTF bias to determine your risk exposure. Trade with full risk only when HTF and LTF are aligned.
Settings & Customization
Table Position: Fully adjustable (Top Right, Bottom Right, etc.) to fit your workspace.
EMA Period: Default is set to 50 (Standard Michael Strategy), but can be adjusted to fit other strategies.
Visuals: Clean, non-intrusive design with clear color coding for instant readability.
Disclaimer This tool is for informational purposes only and serves as a trend-confirmation aid. It should be used in conjunction with price action analysis, key levels, and proper risk management.
MC: Smart Money Concepts - Trend (LTF & HTF)
Clear Smart Money Concepts trend/bias for both LTF and HTF
Top arrows = current timeframe (LTF) trend
Bottom arrows = higher timeframe (HTF) trend
HTF is automatically derived from the chart timeframe
Non-repainting, confirmed strictly on candle close
Overview
MC: SMC Trend on LTF & HTF is a clean, stable, and non-repainting trend indicator based on Smart Money Concepts (SMC) principles.
It is designed to keep traders aligned with market structure and directional bias across multiple timeframes, without clutter or misleading intrabar signals.
This indicator focuses on trend/bias clarity, not on plotting full structure lines or zones.
Its goal is to provide a reliable directional framework that can be used alongside discretionary or systematic trading strategies.
Core Logic
Trend and bias are derived from market structure, using Internal structure & Swing structure
Both structures are evaluated using CHoCH (Change of Character) and BOS (Break of Structure) logic.
CHoCH flips the bias only when it occurs against the current bias, preventing unnecessary noise.
BOS confirms the active bias and is displayed using stronger / darker arrows.
An optional Confluence Filter can be enabled to reduce weak or noisy CHoCH signals
Multi-Timeframe Visualization
Top arrows display the trend/bias of the current chart timeframe (LTF).
Bottom arrows display the trend/bias of the Higher Time Frame (HTF).
The HTF is calculated automatically using a rule-based mapping derived from the chart timeframe (a manual override is available if needed).
HTF behaviour is strictly non-repainting:
While the HTF candle is forming, the HTF bias is shown as grey.
A single coloured arrow is printed only when the HTF candle closes.
This guarantees: zero flicker ; correct timing alignment; full consistency between LTF and HTF
Non-Repainting Philosophy
All confirmed signals are validated strictly on bar close, per timeframe.
Historical data never repaints.
Visual updates on live candles are clearly distinguished from confirmed states.
Acknowledgement
This indicator is based on and inspired by the “Smart Money Concepts (SMC)” methodology by LuxAlgo.
I am deeply grateful to LuxAlgo for their outstanding work in structuring and popularizing Smart Money Concepts, which made this project possible.
This script is not a copy, but a clean, independent implementation focused on trend/bias clarity and multi-timeframe consistency, built with great respect for the original concept.
Indian Equities Theme Tracker [EWT] - Sector Rotation HeatmapIdentify where the "Smart Money" is flowing in the Indian Markets.
The Indian Equities Theme Tracker is a powerful visual dashboard designed for NSE traders and investors to monitor sector rotation and relative strength in real-time. By tracking the most liquid Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), this tool provides a birds-eye view of the Indian economy—from core benchmarks like Nifty 50 and Nifty 500 to high-growth themes like Defence, EV, Tourism, and Energy.
In modern markets, capital doesn't move into all stocks at once; it rotates between sectors. This script helps you spot the leaders and laggards across five different timeframes, ensuring you are always positioned in the strongest themes.
🚀 Key Features :
23+ Essential Themes: Tracks Broad Market, Market Caps (Mid/Small), Sectors (IT, Bank, Auto, Metal), and Narratives (Defence, Tourism, EV, Energy).
Dynamic Performance Sorting: Automatically reorders the table based on your selected lookback (1 Day, 1 Week, 1 Month, 3 Months, or YTD).
Heatmap Logic: Intuitive color coding helps you instantly identify extreme bullishness or bearishness across the board.
Liquidity Focused: Uses the most liquid NSE ETFs (BeES and equivalent) to ensure the data is accurate and reflects tradeable prices.
Pro UI Design: A clean, professional dashboard that can be positioned anywhere on your chart without cluttering your price action analysis.
📊 Themes Included :
Benchmarks: Nifty 500, Nifty 50, Nifty Next 50.
Market Caps: Midcap 150, Smallcap 250.
Sectors: Private & PSU Banks, IT, Pharma, Healthcare, FMCG, Auto, Metals, Infra, Realty.
Thematic/Narratives: Defence, Tourism, Energy, EV & New Age Automotive, Consumption.
Safe Havens: Gold & Silver.
🛠️ How to use :
Timeframe: Switch to the Daily (D) timeframe for the best results.
Settings: Use the inputs to change the table position (Top/Middle/Bottom) and the sorting criteria.
Strategy: Look for themes that are consistently at the top of the "1 Month" and "3 Month" lists—these are your structural leaders. Use "1 Day" to spot quick tactical bounces.

MAG7 and VIXMAG7 and VIX is a institutional-grade market breadth and sentiment dashboard designed specifically for Nasdaq (NQ) traders. Instead of relying on a single price chart, this indicator provides a "look under the hood" of the market by tracking the volatility of the entire index and the individual performance of the seven stocks that drive over 40% of the Nasdaq 100's movement.
Core Components
1. The Fear Gauges (Volatility Monitoring)
This section tracks the VIX (S&P 500 Volatility) and VXN (Nasdaq Volatility).
The Logic: Volatility and price usually have an inverse relationship.
Risk-On: When these numbers are Green (negative %), volatility is dropping, which usually provides a "tailwind" for stocks to rise.
Risk-Off: When these numbers turn Red (positive %), fear is entering the market, often preceding a sharp sell-off or indicating that a rally is built on "shaky ground."
2. Tech Leaders (Market Breadth)
This monitors the Mag7 (NVDA, AAPL, MSFT, AMZN, GOOG, META, TSLA). The dashboard calculates a Weighted Average of these leaders to show the true strength of the "engines" behind the NQ.
Weights: NVDA, AAPL, and MSFT are given 1.5x weight because their market caps have the highest impact on the index.
Individual Heatmap: Each stock has its own cell that changes color based on its performance relative to the daily open.
Using the Dashboard for Divergence Trading
The primary value of this indicator is spotting Divergence, which occurs when the NQ price is lying to you but the internal data shows the truth.
Bearish Breadth Divergence: The NQ hits a new high, but the Tech Leaders Average is negative, and most individual cells (like NVDA or MSFT) are red. This indicates the move is "thin" and likely a bull trap.
Bullish Breadth Divergence: The NQ is flushing to new lows, but the Tech Leaders are starting to turn green or the Fear Gauges are rapidly dropping. This often signals that a bottom is being put in.
Dashboard Placement & Aesthetics
Top Center Positioning: Placed by default at the top-center of your chart to keep your eyes on the price action while maintaining peripheral awareness of the macro data.
Large UI: Designed for high-resolution screens so you can read the percentage shifts without squinting during fast-moving "Turbo" sessions.
Real-Time Updates: The data is fetched dynamically using request.security, ensuring the "Heatmap" reflects current intraday strength rather than just yesterday's close.
Gapper SHORT Signal# TradingView Publication Description
## Title
**Gapper Short Signal - Genetic Optimized (81.8% Win Rate)**
---
## Short Description
Data-driven short signal for fading overextended gap-up stocks. Optimized using genetic algorithms on 166 historical gappers.
---
## Full Description
### 📊 What Is This?
A **precision short signal** designed specifically for fading gap-up stocks that have become overextended. Unlike indicators built on gut feeling or traditional rules, this signal was **discovered by a genetic algorithm** that analyzed 166 real gapper stocks over 70 trading days.
The algorithm tested thousands of signal combinations and evolved over 50 generations to find the exact conditions that preceded profitable short entries.
---
### 🎯 Performance (Backtest)
| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| **Win Rate** | 81.8% |
| **Profit Factor** | 20.34 |
| **Stop Loss** | 3.4% |
| **Take Profit** | 8.6% |
*Based on 166 gapper stocks, $1-20 price range, >3% gap, >100k volume*
---
### 🔍 How It Works
The indicator fires a SHORT signal when **ALL 5 conditions** are met:
**1. Overextended Above VWAP**
Price must be trading more than 1.5 ATR above VWAP. This means the stock has run too far, too fast and is stretched like a rubber band.
**2. Volume Dying Down**
NOT a volume climax (RVOL < 3x). We want to see buying pressure fading, not a blowoff top with massive volume.
**3. Rejection Candle (Key Signal!)**
Upper wick must be >51% of the candle range. This is the smoking gun - price tried to push higher but got slammed back down. Sellers are stepping in.
**4. Still Elevated**
Price must be at least 6.66% above the low of day. We want to short stocks that are still high, not ones that have already crashed.
**5. Time Window**
Within the first 5.5 hours of trading. Gapper fades work best when there's still time in the day for the move to play out.
---
### 📈 Best Used On

| Show Info Table | On | Display condition status |
| Show All Conditions | Off | Expanded table view |
---
### 🧬 The Science Behind It
This indicator wasn't designed by a human - it was **evolved**.
A genetic algorithm started with 100 random indicator configurations, each with different entry conditions and thresholds. These "individuals" were backtested against historical gapper data, and the top performers were bred together to create the next generation.
After 50 generations of evolution, only the fittest signals survived. The result is the 5-condition setup you see here.
**Why genetic optimization?**
- Removes human bias from signal design
- Tests combinations humans would never think of
- Finds exact threshold values (not round numbers)
- Adapts to real market data, not theory
---
### ⚠️ Important Notes
**This is a tool, not a guarantee.**
- Backtest performance ≠ future results
- 11 trades in backtest = small sample size
- Always use proper position sizing
- Paper trade before going live
- Works best on liquid stocks with tight spreads
**Risk Management is Everything**
The 81.8% win rate means nothing if you size incorrectly or move your stops. Stick to the 3.4% stop / 8.6% target that the algorithm optimized for.
---
### 💡 Trading Tips
1. **Wait for the signal** - Don't anticipate. Let all 5 conditions align.
2. **Check the table** - Use the info panel to see which conditions are met.
3. **Respect the stop** - The 3.4% stop is part of the edge. Don't widen it.
4. **Let winners run** - 8.6% target gives you 2.5:1 reward-to-risk.
5. **One trade per setup** - Don't re-enter if stopped out.

Trend Analysis / Momentum / Volatility
Unreached Highs/Lows Oscillator [LuxAlgo]The Unreached Highs/Lows Oscillator highlights the amount of unreached high/low prices as a percentage over time, helping visualize trend strength and momentum from bullish and bearish market participants.
🔶 USAGE
This indicator measures the strength of directional price movements, helping traders visualize the strength of both the bullish and bearish market participants.
When prices are moving up with strength, the price structure will not come back to retest previous lows. Therefore, unreached lows keep adding up.
When prices are moving down with strength, they will not retest previous highs; therefore, unreached highs keep adding up.
As we can see on the chart, high readings of unreached highs (red) and low readings of unreached lows (green) are considered bearish, and a downtrend in price confirms this bias. Conversely, high readings of unreached lows and low readings of unreached highs are considered bullish. On the chart, this is reflected as an uptrend.
Additionally, the oscillator can reveal significant breakouts on the chart, with unreached highs or lows decreasing rapidly indicating that a large number of highs/lows have been reached.
Due to the oscillator being normalized, overbought and oversold levels are included.
In this gold chart, we have different examples of how to use the tool in conjunction with price behavior to understand the market. Let's dissect it step by step:
1. Uptrend: Bullish readings are above 80, and bearish readings are below 20. The market is trending up.
2. Range: Mixed readings around 50 for both bullish and bearish; the market is ranging.
3. Uptrend: The same as before. Bullish above 80 and bearish below 20.
4. Pullback: A bullish dip below 80 to 50 and a bearish reading below 20 indicates a pullback.
5. Range: Mixed readings. In this case, it is bullish above and below 80 and bearish above and below 20. The market is ranging.
6. Uptrend: Bullish above 80 and bearish below 20; the market keeps moving up.
7. Pullback: Bullish dips below 80 and bearish rises to 50 indicate a pullback.
8. Uptrend: As before, bullish is above 80 and bearish is below 20; the market is trending up.
This Bitcoin chart shows how to use extreme readings of 0 and 100 to detect potential reversals. When both readings are at extreme opposites, we set the threshold level at 100 and 0 instead of the default levels of 80 and 20 to better identify these areas.
As we can see, extreme readings at points 1 and 5 identify major reversals that lead to a change in trend. Extreme readings at points 2, 3, 4, and 6 identify minor reversals that do not lead to a change in trend.
From the settings panel, traders can adjust the length parameter. A smaller value measures smaller price movements, while a larger value measures larger price movements. A length value of 20 is used by default.
The chart shows how different values affect bullish and bearish measures.
🔶 SETTINGS
Length: Select the maximum number of highs and lows to be used.
🔹 Style

## 📊 Scoring System (0-100)
The Market State Engine evaluates **four independent components**, each contributing up to **25 points** for a maximum total score of **100**.
### 🎯 Component Breakdown
| Component | Max Points | Description |
|-----------|------------|-------------|
| **VWAP Context** | 25 | Measures price deviation from session VWAP |
| **Structure Shift** | 25 | Confirms pivot breakout (HARD GATE) |
| **CVD Alignment** | 25 | Detects order flow divergence/confirmation |
| **Time-of-Day** | 25 | Identifies high-probability trading sessions |
---
### 1️⃣ VWAP Context (Max 25 Points)
**Purpose:** Identifies extreme price deviations from fair value for mean-reversion opportunities.
VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) is calculated session-anchored to New York market time, with standard deviation bands creating zones of opportunity.
#### Band Structure:
- **1st Band**: ±1σ from VWAP (fair value zone)
- **2nd Band**: ±2σ from VWAP (moderate deviation)
- **3rd Band**: ±3σ from VWAP (extreme deviation)
#### Scoring Logic (Exclusive):
```
Price in 3rd VWAP Band (>2σ and ≤3σ) → +25 points
Price in 2nd VWAP Band (>1σ and ≤2σ) → +15 points
Otherwise (inside 1σ or beyond 3σ) → 0 points
```
**Key Insight:** The further price stretches from VWAP, the higher the probability of mean reversion.
---
### 2️⃣ Structure Shift (Max 25 Points) — **HARD GATE**
**Purpose:** Confirms momentum shift through confirmed pivot breakouts.
⚠️ **CRITICAL:** Structure shift is **mandatory**. If no valid structure shift occurs, the **total score becomes 0** regardless of other factors.
#### Detection Method:
Uses TradingView's `ta.pivothigh()` and `ta.pivotlow()` functions with **locked parameters**:
- **Left bars**: 2
- **Right bars**: 2
- **Source**: Configurable (Wick or Body)
- **Break confirmation**: Candle close only
#### Bullish Structure Shift:
- ✅ Prior swing high exists (confirmed pivot)
- ✅ Current candle **closes above** swing high + tick buffer
- ✅ Must occur in VWAP 2nd or 3rd band
- ✅ **VWAP Filter**: Price must be **at or below VWAP** (lower bands)
#### Bearish Structure Shift:
- ✅ Prior swing low exists (confirmed pivot)
- ✅ Current candle **closes below** swing low - tick buffer
- ✅ Must occur in VWAP 2nd or 3rd band
- ✅ **VWAP Filter**: Price must be **at or above VWAP** (upper bands)
#### Scoring:
```
Valid structure shift → +25 points
No structure shift → Total score = 0
```
**Tick Buffer:** Default 5 ticks (configurable) - prevents false breaks from minor price noise.
---
### 3️⃣ CVD Alignment (Max 25 Points)
**Purpose:** Detects institutional order flow through volume delta analysis.
CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta) is a proxy for order flow:
```
Close > Open → +Volume (buying pressure)
Close < Open → -Volume (selling pressure)
```
#### Scoring Logic:
| Condition | Points | Description |
|-----------|--------|-------------|
| **Divergence** | +25 | Price makes higher high + CVD makes lower high (bearish)Price makes lower low + CVD makes higher low (bullish) |
| **Confirmation** | +20 | Price and CVD both make higher highs or lower lows |
| **Neutral** | 0 | No clear divergence or confirmation |
**Lookback Window:** Last 20 bars (configurable) - prevents stale divergences.
**Key Insight:** Divergences suggest weakening momentum, while confirmations validate the trend.
---
### 4️⃣ Time-of-Day Context (Max 25 Points)
**Purpose:** Prioritizes high-volume, high-volatility New York sessions.
#### Scored Sessions (America/New_York timezone):
| Session | Time Range (NY) | Points | Description |
|---------|-----------------|--------|-------------|
| **Pre-Market** | 03:00 - 04:00 | +25 | Early liquidity injection |
| **Market Open** | 09:30 - 11:30 | +25 | Highest volume period |
| **Off-Hours** | All other times | 0 | Lower probability setups |
**Key Insight:** Structure shifts during active sessions have higher follow-through probability.
---

## 🚦 Signal Filters (VWAP Zone Logic)
The indicator uses **directional VWAP filtering** to prevent counter-trend signals:
### Long Signals (Green)
**Only allowed when price is AT or BELOW VWAP**
- ✅ Lower 2nd band (-2σ to -1σ)
- ✅ Lower 3rd band (-3σ to -2σ)
- ✅ At VWAP exactly
- ❌ **BLOCKED** in upper bands (above VWAP)
**Logic:** Longs when price is stretched below fair value (mean reversion)
### Short Signals (Red)
**Only allowed when price is AT or ABOVE VWAP**
- ✅ Upper 2nd band (+1σ to +2σ)
- ✅ Upper 3rd band (+2σ to +3σ)
- ✅ At VWAP exactly
- ❌ **BLOCKED** in lower bands (below VWAP)
**Logic:** Shorts when price is stretched above fair value (mean reversion)

## 🔔 Alert Conditions
### Setting Up Alerts
#### Method 1: Built-in Alert Conditions
1. Click **"Create Alert"** in TradingView
2. Select **Market State Engine** as condition
3. Choose alert type:
- **Bullish Setup** - Long signals only
- **Bearish Setup** - Short signals only
- **Any Setup** - All signals
4. Set to **"Once Per Bar Close"**
5. Configure notification method (app, email, webhook)
#### Method 2: Custom Alert Message
Alert messages include full breakdown:
```
A+ Setup Detected (Score: 85)
Components: VWAP(25) + Structure(25) + CVD(20) + Time(15)
CVD State: Confirmation
Direction: Long
Timeframe: 1m
```
### Alert Behavior
✅ **One alert per unique pivot break** - no spam
✅ **Fires on candle close only** - no repainting
✅ **Minimum score filter** - only A grade or higher (≥60)
✅ **Direction-specific** - separate bullish/bearish conditions
⚠️ **No cooldown between different pivots** - multiple alerts per session allowed if different swing levels break
---
## 🔧 Technical Details
### Timeframe Lock
- **Required**: 1-minute chart only
- **Reason**: Scoring model calibrated for 1m micro-structure
- **Future**: Multi-timeframe support planned for v2
### Timezone Configuration
- **Hard-coded**: `America/New_York`
- **Session Detection**: Uses TradingView's native session functions
- **Consistency**: All time-based logic uses NY timezone
### Swing Detection Parameters
**Locked to specification:**
- `ta.pivothigh(source, left=2, right=2)`
- `ta.pivotlow(source, left=2, right=2)`
**Implications:**
- Pivots confirmed 2 bars after formation
- No repainting - historical pivots don't move
- 4-bar minimum swing structure (2 left + pivot + 2 right)
### VWAP Calculation
- **Type**: Session-anchored (resets daily)
- **Source**: Typical price `(high + low + close) / 3`
- **Weighting**: Volume-weighted
- **Standard Deviation**: True population standard deviation
### CVD Proxy Formula
```pine
barDelta = close > open ? volume : close < open ? -volume : 0
CVD = cumulative sum of barDelta (session-reset)
```
### Performance Limits
- **Max Labels**: 500 (TradingView limit)
- **Max Bars Back**: 500
- **Memory**: Lightweight - uses only essential variables

## 💡 Best Practices
### 1. **Use as a Filter, Not a Strategy**
❌ Don't: Blindly take every signal
✅ Do: Use score as confluence for your existing analysis
### 2. **Higher Grades = Better Probability**
- **A Setups (60-74)**: Regular opportunities, still require discretion
- **A+ Setups (75-89)**: High-quality, multiple factors aligned
- **A++ Setups (90-100)**: Rare premium opportunities, strongest edge
### 3. **Respect the VWAP Zone Filter**
The indicator **automatically blocks**:
- Longs in upper VWAP bands (counter-trend)
- Shorts in lower VWAP bands (counter-trend)
Trust this logic - it enforces mean reversion discipline.
### 4. **Monitor the Score Panel**
Watch which components are scoring to understand **why** a setup formed:
- Missing CVD score? → No order flow confirmation
- Missing Time score? → Outside high-volume sessions
- Low VWAP score? → Weak deviation from fair value
### 5. **Combine with Risk Management**
The indicator provides **opportunity scoring**, not position sizing:
- Use stop losses based on swing structure
- Scale position size with setup grade (larger on A++, smaller on A)
- Set profit targets at VWAP or opposing band
### 6. **Session Awareness**
Prioritize signals during **active sessions**:
- **03:00-04:00 NY**: Pre-market momentum
- **09:30-11:30 NY**: Highest volume, tightest spreads
Off-hours signals (0 time score) are lower probability but still valid if other factors strong.
### 7. **Understand the Hard Gate**
If **no structure shift** occurs:
- Total score = 0
- No alerts fire
- Other components irrelevant
**Why?** Structure shift confirms momentum change - without it, there's no tradable opportunity.
### 8. **Avoid Over-Optimization**
Default settings are well-calibrated:
- Don't chase "perfect" parameters
- Test changes on historical data before live use
- Document any modifications
### 9. **Leverage Alert De-Duplication**
The indicator prevents spam automatically:
- One alert per unique swing break
- New swing levels = new alerts
- No need to manually filter notifications
### 10. **Supplement with Price Action**
Use the indicator alongside:
- Support/resistance levels
- Order flow footprint charts
- Volume profile
- Market internals (breadth, TICK, etc.)

## 📚 Example Scenarios
### Example 1: A++ Premium Setup (Score: 95)
```
Price: In lower 3rd VWAP band (-2.8σ) → VWAP: 25 pts
Structure: Close breaks swing high → Structure: 25 pts
CVD: Price LL + CVD HL (bullish div) → CVD: 25 pts
Time: 10:15 AM NY (market open) → Time: 25 pts
Direction: LONG (price below VWAP) → Valid
Grade: A++ (95/100)
```
**Interpretation:** All factors aligned - premium mean-reversion long opportunity.
---
### Example 2: A+ Strong Setup (Score: 80)
```
Price: In upper 2nd VWAP band (+1.5σ) → VWAP: 15 pts
Structure: Close breaks swing low → Structure: 25 pts
CVD: Price HH + CVD LH (bearish div) → CVD: 25 pts
Time: 2:00 PM NY (off-hours) → Time: 0 pts
Direction: SHORT (price above VWAP) → Valid
Grade: A+ (65/100)
```
**Interpretation:** Strong setup despite off-hours, bearish divergence adds confidence.
---
### Example 3: Filtered Setup (Score: 0)
```
Price: In upper 3rd VWAP band (+2.5σ) → VWAP: 25 pts (if allowed)
Structure: Close breaks swing high → Structure: BLOCKED
CVD: Price HH + CVD HH (confirmation) → CVD: 20 pts (if allowed)
Time: 10:00 AM NY → Time: 25 pts (if allowed)
Direction: LONG (price ABOVE VWAP) → ❌ INVALID ZONE
Grade: None (0/100) - NO ALERT
```
**Interpretation:** VWAP filter blocked long signal in upper band - prevents counter-trend trade.
---
## 🛠️ Troubleshooting
### No Signals Appearing
- ✅ Verify you're on **1-minute chart**
- ✅ Check **Tick Size** matches your symbol
- ✅ Ensure **VWAP Bands** are visible
- ✅ Wait for confirmed pivots (requires at least 5 bars of history)
### Alerts Not Firing
- ✅ Confirm alert is set to **"Once Per Bar Close"**
- ✅ Check score threshold (must be ≥60 by default)
- ✅ Verify VWAP zone filter isn't blocking signals
- ✅ Check that structure shift is actually occurring
### Score Always Zero
- ✅ No structure shift detected (hard gate active)
- ✅ Price may not be in valid VWAP zone (2nd or 3rd band)
- ✅ Insufficient swing history (wait for pivots to form)
### Too Many/Too Few Signals
**Too many signals:**
- Increase **A Setup Threshold** (e.g., 70 instead of 60)
- Increase **Tick Buffer Count** (reduces false breaks)
**Too few signals:**
- Decrease **A Setup Threshold** (e.g., 50 instead of 60)
- Decrease **Tick Buffer Count** (more sensitive to breaks)

💡 Best Practices
1. Use as a Filter, Not a Strategy
❌ Don't: Blindly take every signal
✅ Do: Use score as confluence for your existing analysis
2. Higher Grades = Better Probability
A Setups (60-74): Regular opportunities, still require discretion
A+ Setups (75-89): High-quality, multiple factors aligned
A++ Setups (90-100): Rare premium opportunities, strongest edge
3. Respect the VWAP Zone Filter
The indicator automatically blocks:
Longs in upper VWAP bands (counter-trend)
Shorts in lower VWAP bands (counter-trend)
Trust this logic - it enforces mean reversion discipline.
4. Monitor the Score Panel
Watch which components are scoring to understand why a setup formed:
Missing CVD score? → No order flow confirmation
Missing Time score? → Outside high-volume sessions
Low VWAP score? → Weak deviation from fair value
5. Combine with Risk Management
The indicator provides opportunity scoring, not position sizing:
Use stop losses based on swing structure
Scale position size with setup grade (larger on A++, smaller on A)
Set profit targets at VWAP or opposing band
6. Session Awareness
Prioritize signals during active sessions:
03:00-04:00 NY: Pre-market momentum
09:30-11:30 NY: Highest volume, tightest spreads
Off-hours signals (0 time score) are lower probability but still valid if other factors strong.
7. Understand the Hard Gate
If no structure shift occurs:
Total score = 0
No alerts fire
Other components irrelevant
Why? Structure shift confirms momentum change - without it, there's no tradable opportunity.
8. Avoid Over-Optimization
Default settings are well-calibrated:
Don't chase "perfect" parameters
Test changes on historical data before live use
Document any modifications
9. Leverage Alert De-Duplication
The indicator prevents spam automatically:
One alert per unique swing break
New swing levels = new alerts
No need to manually filter notifications
10. Supplement with Price Action
Use the indicator alongside:
Support/resistance levels
Order flow footprint charts
Volume profile
Market internals (breadth, TICK, etc.)
📚 Example Scenarios
Example 1: A++ Premium Setup (Score: 95)
Price: In lower 3rd VWAP band (-2.8σ) → VWAP: 25 pts
Structure: Close breaks swing high → Structure: 25 pts
CVD: Price LL + CVD HL (bullish div) → CVD: 25 pts
Time: 10:15 AM NY (market open) → Time: 25 pts
Direction: LONG (price below VWAP) → Valid
Grade: A++ (95/100)
Interpretation: All factors aligned - premium mean-reversion long opportunity.
Example 2: A+ Strong Setup (Score: 80)
Price: In upper 2nd VWAP band (+1.5σ) → VWAP: 15 pts
Structure: Close breaks swing low → Structure: 25 pts
CVD: Price HH + CVD LH (bearish div) → CVD: 25 pts
Time: 2:00 PM NY (off-hours) → Time: 0 pts
Direction: SHORT (price above VWAP) → Valid
Grade: A+ (65/100)
Interpretation: Strong setup despite off-hours, bearish divergence adds confidence.
Example 3: Filtered Setup (Score: 0)
Price: In upper 3rd VWAP band (+2.5σ) → VWAP: 25 pts (if allowed)
Structure: Close breaks swing high → Structure: BLOCKED
CVD: Price HH + CVD HH (confirmation) → CVD: 20 pts (if allowed)
Time: 10:00 AM NY → Time: 25 pts (if allowed)
Direction: LONG (price ABOVE VWAP) → ❌ INVALID ZONE
Grade: None (0/100) - NO ALERT
Interpretation: VWAP filter blocked long signal in upper band - prevents counter-trend trade.
🛠️ Troubleshooting
No Signals Appearing
✅ Verify you're on 1-minute chart
✅ Check Tick Size matches your symbol
✅ Ensure VWAP Bands are visible
✅ Wait for confirmed pivots (requires at least 5 bars of history)
Alerts Not Firing
✅ Confirm alert is set to "Once Per Bar Close"
✅ Check score threshold (must be ≥60 by default)
✅ Verify VWAP zone filter isn't blocking signals
✅ Check that structure shift is actually occurring
Score Always Zero
✅ No structure shift detected (hard gate active)
✅ Price may not be in valid VWAP zone (2nd or 3rd band)
✅ Insufficient swing history (wait for pivots to form)
Too Many/Too Few Signals
Too many signals:
Increase A Setup Threshold (e.g., 70 instead of 60)
Increase Tick Buffer Count (reduces false breaks)
Too few signals:
Decrease A Setup Threshold (e.g., 50 instead of 60)
Decrease Tick Buffer Count (more sensitive to breaks)

TSLA Cycle Timing - 122-Day Reversal Map (Adaptive Framework)This indicator is a timing map built specifically for Tesla (TSLA) on the Daily chart. It plots a repeating set of vertical, color-coded timing markers inside a 122-bar cycle (commonly treated as ~122 trading days on the Daily timeframe). These markers highlight reversal “zones”—areas where TSLA has historically shown a tendency to pivot from high-to-low and low-to-high within the cycle.
The script includes:
23 TSLA-derived set points (Points 1–23): the core timing map used to mark the most repeatable reversal areas.
Two optional “Inversion Points” (INV A / INV B): manual markers you can enable when TSLA’s high/low sequence appears to flip due to a structural deviation.
One additional optional marker (OPT C) for user customization.
This is not an auto-buy/sell system. It is a cycle-structure framework designed to help you anticipate when a reversal is more likely to occur, so you can combine it with your own confirmation tools (price action, trend context, support/resistance, volume, etc.).
Definitions (How this script interprets highs/lows)
In the context of cycle mapping:
A High Point is the highest price reached between two neighboring high pivots.
A Low Point is the lowest price reached between two neighboring low pivots.
The vertical lines are timing markers, not “guaranteed pivot candles.” Price may top/bottom slightly before or after a line. That’s why the script includes an optional ± window (in bars) to visualize a small tolerance zone around each marker.
How it works (Conceptually)
The script defines a repeating cycle length (default 122 bars).
Inside each cycle, each point has an offset measured in bars from the cycle start.
For every cycle instance (past, current, and optional future cycles), the script draws:
a vertical dotted line at each enabled point offset
optional ± window bands around the line
optional labels (numbers for set points and “INV” labels for inversion points)
Because this is a Tesla-specific map, the default offsets for Points 1–23 are preconfigured based on TSLA’s observed structure, and the remaining optional points are user-controlled.
How to Use (Important)
1) Use the Daily chart first
This model is designed around TSLA’s Daily cycle behavior. Start with:
Symbol: TSLA
Timeframe: 1D
If you use other timeframes, the cycle “tempo” can change and may require different offsets.
2) Identify the cycle start (anchor)
Cycle mapping depends on where the current cycle is anchored.
Use “Bars Back to Current Cycle Start” to shift the cycle start so that the script’s point sequence aligns with your most recent known cycle beginning. Once aligned, the points should repeat near each 122-bar interval.
3) Read the vertical markers as reversal zones
The colored vertical lines represent areas where reversals have historically occurred, not a promise that price must reverse exactly on the line.
A practical approach:
Use the marker as a “heads-up” zone
Wait for confirmation (trend break, candle structure, momentum shift, key level reaction, etc.)
4) Understand “set points” vs “Inversion Points”
Set Points (1–23)
These are the primary TSLA reversal zones that tend to recur within the 122-bar structure. Specific numbered points often appear near the same relative position inside each cycle.
Inversion Points (INV A / INV B)
Occasionally, TSLA’s cycle behavior can flip—meaning the expected high-to-low (or low-to-high) progression temporarily swaps order. This is what I refer to as an inversion.
When you see a cycle behaving “backwards” relative to the usual sequence:
Enable INV A and/or INV B
Place their offsets at the bar locations where the flip becomes obvious
Use these markers as manual annotations so your cycle notes stay consistent even when TSLA deviates from its typical rhythm
These inversion markers do not force the script to predict a flip—they allow you to document it cleanly.
5) Use the ± Window Bands to manage real-world variance
Markets don’t pivot on perfect timestamps. If a reversal tends to happen “around” a point:
Enable ± Window Bands
Set Window ± Bars (commonly 1–3 bars on 1D)
This gives a realistic visual tolerance zone around each timing marker.
Settings Guide (Practical)
Cycle Length (bars): 122 (TSLA Daily baseline)
Lookback Bars: increase to study more history, decrease for performance
Future Cycles: use sparingly; future markers are guidance zones, not guarantees
Past Cycles: Lines Only: recommended ON for stable performance
Labels at Top: helps keep the chart clean and readable
Final Notes / Limitations
This is a historical timing framework designed to map TSLA’s repeating reversal structure. It helps estimate when reversal pressure tends to appear, but it does not replace risk management or confirmation. Cycle behavior can stretch, compress, or invert during unusual volatility regimes—hence the inclusion of optional inversion markers.
Auto Fibonacci Lines Depending on ZigZag %In the world of technical analysis, few tools are as powerful—or as misused—as Fibonacci Retracements. The Auto Fibonacci Lines Depending on ZigZag % is not just an indicator; it is a complete, automated trading system designed to eliminate subjectivity and bring institutional-grade precision to your charts.
This script automates the identification of significant market structures using a ZigZag algorithm. Once a market swing is mathematically confirmed (based on your deviation settings), it instantly projects a complete suite of Retracement and Extension levels. This allows you to stop guessing where to draw your lines and start focusing on price action.
🧠 The Logic Behind the Indicator
Understanding how your tools work is the first step to trusting them. This script operates on a three-step logic loop:
ZigZag Identification:
The script continuously monitors price action relative to the last known pivot point. It uses a user-defined Deviation % to filter out market noise. A new "Leg" is only confirmed when price reverses by this specific percentage. This ensures that the Fibonacci lines are only drawn on significant market moves, not random chop.
Automated Anchor Points:
Once a downward trend is confirmed (e.g., price drops 30% from the top), the script automatically anchors the Fibonacci tool to the Swing High (Start) and the Swing Low (End). It does this without you needing to click or drag anything.
Dynamic Cleanup:
Markets evolve. A key feature of this script is its self-cleaning mechanism. As soon as a new trend leg is confirmed, the script automatically deletes the old, invalidated Fibonacci lines and draws a fresh set for the new structure. This keeps your chart clean and focused on the now.
🎓 How to Trade This System
This indicator is color-coded to simplify your decision-making process. It moves beyond standard "rainbow" charts by categorizing price levels into three distinct actionable zones.
1. The "Reload Zone" (White Lines: 0.618 - 0.786) ⚪
Role: High-Probability Support / Entry
In institutional trading, the 0.618 (Golden Ratio) to 0.786 region is often where algorithms step in to defend a trend.
Why it works : This is the "discount" area where smart money re-accumulates positions before the next leg up.
2. The "Decision Wall" (Blue Lines: 1.382 - 1.5) 🔵
Role: Strong Resistance / Trend Check
This is a unique feature of this suite. The 1.382 and 1.5 levels often act as a "ceiling" for weak breakouts.
Strategy : If you entered in the White Zone, the Blue Zone is your first major hurdle. If price stalls here, consider securing partial profits.
Warning : A rejection from the Blue Lines often leads to a double-top formation. However, a clean break above the Blue Lines usually signals a parabolic move is beginning.
3. The "Extension Zone" (Yellow, Red, Purple > 1.618) 🟡🔴
Role : Take Profit / Exhaustion
Levels above 1.5 (starting with the 1.618 Golden Extension) are statistical extremes.
Strategy : These are Strict Take Profit levels. Do not FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) into new long positions here. The probability of a reversal increases drastically as price climbs through these levels (2.618, 3.618, 4.618).
📐 The Mathematical Edge: Logarithmic vs. Linear
One of the most critical features of this script is the ability to toggle between Logarithmic and Linear calculations.
Why use Logarithmic?
If you are trading Crypto (Bitcoin, Altcoins) or high-growth Tech Stocks, linear Fibonacci levels are mathematically incorrect over large moves. A 50% drop from $100 is different than a 50% drop from $10.
This script calculates the percentage difference (Log Scale), ensuring your targets are accurate even during 100%+ parabolic runs.
Why use Linear?
For mature markets like Forex (EURUSD) or Indices (SPX500) where volatility is lower, Linear scaling is the industry standard.
🛠️ Configuration & Best Practices
Deviation % : This is the heartbeat of the indicator.
Swing Trading : Set to 20-30%. This filters out noise and only draws Fibs on major macro moves.
Scalping : Set to 3-5%. This will catch smaller intraday waves.
Text Place : Keeps your chart clean by pushing labels to the right, ensuring they don't overlap with the current price action.
👤 Who Is This Indicator For?
The Disciplined Trader : Who wants to remove emotional bias from their charting.
The Crypto Investor : Who needs accurate Logarithmic targets for long-term holding.
The Confluence Trader : Who combines these automated levels with Order Blocks, RSI, or Volume to find the perfect entry.

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.

🔴 Red Liquidity Trap Pivot reversal with wick rejection, liquidity sweep, and momentum trap (fading trapped traders)
🟠 Orange Structural Divergence Pivot at new extreme with RSI divergence against major structure
🔵 Light Blue Band Rejection Full candle body outside Bollinger Bands with rejection wick
🟢 Green Panic Snap 5-bar waterfall (consecutive lower lows) snapping back during VIX spike — Long only
🟣 Purple Capitulation Engulf Bullish engulfing at lower BB with steep band decline during elevated VIX — Long only
How To Read It
Long Signals (below bar): 5-diamond stack
• Bottom to top: Liquidity Trap → Structural Divergence → Band Rejection → Panic Snap → Capitulation Engulf
Short Signals (above bar): 3-diamond stack
• Bottom to top: Band Rejection → Structural Divergence → Liquidity Trap
Ghost diamonds (faded white) = that detector did NOT fire Colored diamonds = that detector fired
Colors are consistent between long and short — same detector = same color regardless of direction.
Key Features
• Confluence visualization — instantly see how many independent patterns agree
• No parameter tweaking — all detector settings are pre-tuned and hardcoded
• VIX-aware — the two "capitulation" detectors (Panic Snap, Capitulation Engulf) only fire during elevated VIX conditions
• Session filtering — built-in BOD/EOD blocking to avoid noisy open/close periods
• MTF Bias Table — optional multi-timeframe trend bias display (5m/15m/1H/4H/D)
• Detector Legend — on-chart reference showing what each color means (adjustable size and position)
• Bollinger Bands — optional BB overlay display
Settings
Module Toggles — Enable/disable each of the 5 detectors independently:

Renko Velocity Meter [Chris Chapman]Here is the comprehensive copy for your Renko Velocity Meter indicator. This is structured to be used in a TradingView description, a manual, or a product listing.
Renko Velocity Meter
What is this Indicator?
The Renko Velocity Meter is a specialized momentum dashboard designed strictly for Renko Charts. Unlike standard oscillators (like RSI or MACD) which often fail on Renko due to the lack of time-based data, this tool uses "Brick Physics" to measure the actual speed and efficiency of price movement.
It answers the most critical question in Renko trading: "Is this a real trend, or just a choppy consolidation?"
Instead of giving you lagging signals, it provides a real-time Velocity Score (0-100) displayed on a dashboard directly on your chart. It automatically filters out "fake" moves and highlights high-probability "TURBO" conditions when the market enters a powerful extension phase.
How It Is Calculated
The Velocity Score is derived from a proprietary blend of three distinct mathematical checks:
1. Trend Efficiency ("The Snake Logic") The script calculates the ratio between the Net Price Move and the Total Distance Traveled over a lookback period.
High Efficiency: Price is moving in a straight line (Strong Trend).
Low Efficiency: Price is winding back and forth (Chop/Range).
2. Momentum Deviation (Auto-Brick Detection) The indicator automatically detects your specific Renko brick size (whether 2 pips, 10 points, or custom) without manual input. It then measures how many "Bricks" the price has pulled away from the baseline Moving Average.
If price is 6+ bricks away from the average, it signals a high-momentum extension.
3. HTF Trend Lock (Multi-Timeframe Filter) It internally checks a Higher Timeframe (default: 15-minute) to ensure you are trading with the dominant trend.
HTF LOCK: The Renko trend and the 15m trend are aligned (Green).
HTF MIX: The trends are conflicting. The score is automatically capped at 60 to prevent false signals.
4. The "Counter-Trend" Penalty To prevent buying tops or selling bottoms, the script instantly penalizes the score if a "Retracement Brick" forms.
Example: If the trend is UP, but a RED brick forms, the score is forced down to the "Yellow/Neutral" zone until the trend resumes.
Requirements
To use this indicator effectively, you must meet the following chart conditions:
Chart Type: Renko (This is mandatory. The math relies on fixed-size bricks).
Timeframe: Works on all timeframes, but optimized for standard scalping setups (e.g., 2-pip fixed bricks on EURUSD/Gold).
Data Feed: High-quality data is recommended. For maximum precision, use a 1-second (1s) interval setting for your Renko box generation if your TradingView plan allows it.
The Inputs (Settings)
You can customize the sensitivity of the meter to fit your specific asset class:
Trend Efficiency Period (Default: 14):
The number of bricks used to calculate how "straight" the trend is. Lower numbers make the score faster; higher numbers make it smoother.
Momentum Baseline (Default: 20):
The length of the internal Moving Average used as the "mean" price.
Max Momentum in Bricks (Default: 6):
How many bricks of extension are required to hit a "100% Score"? Increase this for volatile assets like Gold or Bitcoin.
HTF Support (Default: 15):
The Higher Timeframe used for the Trend Lock filter.
Meter Position:
Choose where the dashboard appears on your screen (Top Right, Bottom Left, etc.).
Dashboard Legend
GREEN (Score > 70): TURBO – Strong trend alignment. High probability of continuation.
YELLOW (Score 50-70): TREND – Active trend, but potentially stalling or retracing.
RED (Score < 50): CHOP – No clear direction or conflicting signals. Stay flat.
POSITION: Shows the current logic state (LONG/SHORT/FLAT).
Flexible S/R Channels🟩 Flexible S/R Channels is a visualization tool that draws curved support and resistance boundaries through user-defined anchor points. Unlike traditional trendlines and channels that force linear interpretation onto price action, this indicator captures the curved structures that markets frequently form—rounded tops and bottoms, parabolic advances and declines, arcing rallies and pullbacks. Three anchor points per curve define the shape; the indicator fits a smooth mathematical curve through these points and projects it forward. The approach is simple: draw what you see. Curved market structure that resists precise definition with traditional tools can now be rendered with mathematical accuracy.
The indicator bridges the gap between static drawing tools and programmable indicators. TradingView's arc tool draws curves but produces only visual pixels with no analytical value. Flexible S/R Channels creates live data series that integrate with other analysis tools. Four curve-fitting methods—Quadratic, Quadratic-Linear, Weighted Linear, and Natural Cubic Spline—accommodate different market structures. The curved levels naturally lend themselves to breakout and reversion strategies—applications left to the trader's discretion. The open-source code invites experimentation and customization.
💡 THEORY AND CONCEPT 💡
Traders have long relied on horizontal levels and diagonal trendlines to define support and resistance. Linear tools assume constant slope—a property rarely exhibited by actual market movement. When momentum accelerates or decelerates, price trajectories curve rather than hold to fixed angles. The resulting structures—parabolic advances during expansion phases, arcing pullbacks during consolidation, rounded formations at reversal points—represent changes in the rate of change itself. Traditional drawing tools cannot accommodate this variable geometry without sacrificing mathematical precision..
Flexible S/R Channels extends familiar support and resistance concepts into curved space. The approach is simple: draw what you see. When the eye recognizes a curved boundary in price action, this indicator provides the means to define it precisely. Three anchor points per curve—an initial point, an intermediate point, and a recent point—are all that is required. The indicator fits a smooth mathematical curve through these points and extends it forward as a projection.
This indicator represents a blend of human pattern recognition and algorithmic precision. Fully automated indicators make decisions without user input—efficient but detached from trader discretion. Manual drawing tools rely entirely on freehand skill—expressive but imprecise. Flexible S/R Channels occupies the middle ground. The trader identifies the curved structure; the algorithm renders it mathematically. The result is human insight expressed with computational accuracy—for traders who recognize curved structure in price action but lack precise tools to define it.
This projection is not a prediction. It is a visual hypothesis—a structured way of asking "if this trajectory continues, where would price be?" The underlying assumption is simple: like Newton's first law of motion, a trajectory in motion tends to continue unless acted upon by an external force. Future price action validates or invalidates the projection, just as it does with any trendline or channel.
TradingView offers an arc drawing tool for freehand curved lines, but these are purely visual—static pixels on a screen with no programmable value. Flexible S/R Channels bridges this gap. The fitted curves exist as data series that can generate alerts, trigger signals, and interact with other analysis tools. The visual drawing becomes operational structure.
🔁 CURVE METHODS 🔁
The indicator offers four curve-calculation methods, each producing different shapes suited to different market structures:
Quadratic — Fits a parabolic arc through the three anchor points. Best for smooth, continuous curves such as rounded tops and bottoms. It captures the natural "swing" of the market, assuming the momentum will maintain its current rate of acceleration or deceleration.
Quadratic-Linear — Uses a parabolic curve through the anchor points, then transitions to a straight line after the final anchor. Useful when curved structure gives way to linear trend continuation. This is the "bridge" between a turning market and a steady, directed move, preventing the projection from curving back on itself when the price begins to run.
Weighted Linear — Connects anchor points with straight line segments rather than a smooth curve. Suited for angular market structures with distinct inflection points. It treats the market as a series of rigid shifts, providing a clear "corridor" when the price is bouncing between sharp, diagonal levels.
Natural Cubic Spline — Produces the smoothest curve by minimizing abrupt directional changes. Ideal for organic, flowing market movements. It acts as a flexible spine that adapts to complex transitions without the rigid constraints of a fixed geometric shape.
Quadratic Fitting : A smooth, parabolic arc defines a curved resistance boundary. By fitting a mathematical path through three anchor points, the curve captures rounded structures and arcing price action that traditional linear trendlines fail to represent.
Weighted Linear Fitting : This method produces an angular, segmented path by connecting anchor points with distinct linear slopes. Unlike the continuous smoothness of a quadratic arc, the weighted linear approach creates a more jointed geometry, allowing for a precise match to market structures that exhibit sharp, localized changes in trajectory.
Natural Cubic Spline Fitting : This method creates a highly fluid, elastic curve that can accommodate complex price oscillations. In this instance, the curves define a narrowing range as support and resistance converge, highlighting the volatility compression that often precedes a significant breakout or breakdown from established structures.
🖱️ HOW IT WORKS 🖱️
1️⃣ Initial Setup
Unlike traditional indicators that calculate values automatically from price data, Flexible S/R Channels requires user-defined anchor points. This is intentional. The trader's eye is the pattern recognition engine—no algorithm can see the curved structure that experience and intuition reveal. The indicator waits for this input, then applies mathematical precision to render what the trader has identified.
The Recognition of Natural Structure : Effective analysis begins when a curved rhythm becomes visible within price action that traditional trendlines cannot satisfy. Identifying the specific swing highs and swing lows that define these boundaries is the first step in organizing a chart. By isolating three key pivots for resistance and three for support, the underlying framework of the market's trajectory is established, providing the necessary coordinates to accurately map the path.
Interactive Setup Workflow : Upon loading, the indicator prompts for the sequential selection of six points—three swing highs and three swing lows—to serve as the raw data for the calculation. While the chart remains blank during this initial phase, the curves generate instantly once the final anchor is confirmed. These points are not permanent; they appear as interactive grips that can be dragged in real time to refine the boundaries as the market structure evolves.
The indicator prompts for six sequential selections—three for resistance, three for support. The first three selections define the resistance boundary; the final three define support. This sequential grouping is distinct from zigzag-style selection patterns. Within each group, clicking order is flexible—the algorithm automatically sorts points chronologically, allowing traders to select visually prominent pivots in whatever sequence feels natural.
Structural Anchor Identification : Identifying three key swing highs and three key swing lows provides the foundation for the dual-curve geometry. These specific structural peaks and troughs serve as the coordinates for the mathematical models, ensuring that the resulting boundaries accurately reflect the underlying skeleton of the market action.
2️⃣ Interactive Adjustment
After the initial setup, all six anchor points are fully adjustable:
Points are automatically sorted chronologically regardless of selection order
Grip handles appear at each anchor location
Any point can be repositioned by clicking and dragging its grip handle
The curves recalculate instantly as points are adjusted
The algorithm produces a mathematically perfect curve based on the anchor points provided. If the result does not match the trader's vision, adjustments are immediate. This iterative refinement—see, adjust, refine—continues until the rendered curve represents what the trader sees in the price action. The user remains in control; the algorithm remains in service.
Interactive Channel Boundaries : Six user-defined anchor points—three for resistance and three for support —establish a non-linear range that moves beyond the constraints of a flat, horizontal channel. This configuration captures the arcing trajectory of the market while showing price action respecting the curved boundaries in a classic reversion pattern. By manually positioning these anchors, a dynamic dimension is added to the chart that maintains structural integrity even as the price follows a rounded path.
🛠️ SETTINGS 🛠️
Customizable Visual Feedback : Beyond the core geometry, the visualization offers various user-defined settings to tailor the chart's information density. From identifying specific price targets to toggling structural labels, these options allow the trader to adjust the level of detail to suit their personal analysis style while maintaining a clear view of the non-linear boundaries.
Configuration Options
Curve Method — Select the curve-fitting algorithm: Quadratic, Quadratic-Linear, Weighted Linear, or Natural Cubic Spline.
Projection Length — Number of bars to project the curves beyond current price action. Projections appear as dashed lines.
Visual Settings
Grip Size — Size of the draggable handles displayed at each anchor point. Set to zero to hide grips entirely.
Line Width — Thickness of the support and resistance curves.
Support Color / Resistance Color — Color settings for each curve.
Show Info Table — Toggle display of the info table showing the current curve method in the chart corner.
Advanced: Time/Price Coordinates
The settings panel includes precise time and price values for each of the six anchor points, grouped under Resistance Time/Price and Support Time/Price. These values are populated automatically when points are selected on the chart.
Adjusting anchor points by dragging the grip handles directly on the chart is faster and more intuitive. The time/price fields are available for situations requiring exact coordinate entry—such as aligning an anchor to a specific candle timestamp or a precise price level. These fields can be safely ignored unless fine-tuning is necessary.
🖼️ CHART EXAMPLES 🖼️
The Flexible S/R Channels indicator adapts to diverse market structures across multiple timeframes and instruments. Curved boundaries can define subtle momentum shifts in near-linear trends, dramatic reversals in rounding formations, or volatility compression as channels converge toward breakout points. The four curve-fitting methods accommodate different geometries—smooth parabolic arcs for continuous momentum changes, segmented linear paths for angular structures, and elastic splines for complex oscillations. Each anchor point adjustment instantly recalculates the curves, allowing iterative refinement until the rendered boundaries align with the trader's interpretation of market structure. Forward projections extend these mathematical relationships into future territory, providing visual context for hypothetical support and resistance levels if current trajectories persist.
Subtle Curve Alignment : Even in structures that appear linear, subtle curvature allows the channel boundaries to breathe with the market’s internal momentum. By utilizing three anchor points rather than two, the channel adapts to the slight acceleration of a trend, providing a more precise fit than a rigid, straight corridor.
Decelerating Momentum and Convergence : This classic rounding structure illustrates a transition where the initial wide oscillations between highs and lows begin to contract. As the boundaries converge, the curve captures the diminishing volatility and the shift in market energy, providing a clear visual representation of a trend losing its expansive momentum as it approaches a potential turning point.
Organic Trend Modeling : In an accelerating uptrend, the Natural Cubic Spline provides a highly adaptable boundary that mirrors the organic flow of momentum. This non-traditional approach allows the channel to follow complex price pulses that a standard linear trendline would likely cut through, maintaining a precise fit even as the angle of the trend shifts over time.
Non-Linear Projections : Unlike standard trendlines that converge at a fixed rate, curved projections adapt to the historical momentum of the move. This allows the indicator to map a dynamic squeeze, capturing the subtle nuances of how price action tightens toward an apex. It provides a more sophisticated view of future convergence points that traditional linear channels often fail to anticipate.
The "Draw What You See" Philosophy : Market structures are rarely perfect, and this example highlights the indicator’s ability to map unconventional rhythms. Rather than forcing price into a predefined category, the tool remains flexible enough to define any structural path the trader identifies. If you can see a trend's trajectory, the indicator can provide the mathematical framework to support it.
Comparative Projection Modeling : Using identical anchor points as above, this example demonstrates how selecting a different calculation method can alter the projected path. While the historical fit remains precise, the variation in the forward-looking trajectory allows traders to explore multiple mathematical interpretations of the same market structure, choosing the model that best aligns with the current volatility and trend behavior.
Extended Timeframe Channel Definition : This multi-year perspective demonstrates the indicator's ability to define curved channel boundaries across extended timeframes spanning hundreds of bars and multiple market cycles. The resistance curve captures the rounded distribution of swing highs while the support curve follows the accelerating base formation, creating a non-linear channel that frames long-term structural trends more precisely than traditional parallel channels or static trendlines.
Rounding Bottom Reversal and Channel Convergence : This example captures a classic rounding bottom formation—a reversal pattern that linear tools cannot adequately define. The Quadratic method produces a smooth parabolic arc through the resistance anchors, tracing the deceleration of the downtrend, the capitulation low, and the subsequent re-acceleration upward as a single continuous curve. The support boundary mirrors this momentum shift from below, creating a curved channel that narrows toward current price. This convergence represents structural compression—the boundaries tightening as volatility contracts and directional resolution approaches. Price action oscillates within these non-linear boundaries, demonstrating that channel behavior persists even when the geometry is curved rather than parallel. The projection extends both curves forward, mapping the hypothetical trajectory if the current momentum structure continues, providing visual context for potential breakout or breakdown levels as the channel reaches its apex.
Built-in Precision vs. Algorithmic Power : While TradingView offers basic curve drawing tools (shown here as dashed lines), the Flexible S/R Channels indicator elevates this concept into a functional analytical framework. By converting manual observations into mathematical models, it moves beyond mere drawing to provide a data-driven structure that can be utilized for advanced technical analysis and future Pine Script trading logic.
⚙️ TECHNICAL DETAILS ⚙️
Curve Fitting vs. Overfitting: The term curve fitting often carries negative connotations in quantitative analysis due to its association with overfitting—the practice of adjusting a model until it perfectly matches historical data, producing an illusion of accuracy that fails when applied to new data. The application here is fundamentally different. Flexible S/R Channels does not optimize parameters to maximize historical fit; it constructs a mathematical curve through user-selected anchor points, then projects that curve into unknown territory. The curve is not fitted to price data—it is fitted to structural pivots identified by the trader. The projection represents a hypothesis about trajectory continuation, not a prediction derived from statistical optimization. Future price action validates or invalidates this hypothesis in real time, exactly as it does with any trendline or channel. The anchor points remain fixed unless manually adjusted, ensuring the curve does not adapt to new data retroactively.
Non-Repainting Behavior: The indicator does not repaint historical bars. The mathematical coefficients that define each curve are calculated once—when the final anchor point is set—and stored as fixed values. These coefficients remain constant unless an anchor point is manually repositioned. The backfit polyline is drawn once using these coefficients, spanning the known range from the first to last anchor point. The plot() function applies the same coefficients to each subsequent bar, updating in real-time as new bars form but never altering previously plotted values. The projection polyline extends forward from the current bar using the same fixed coefficients, projecting a user-defined number of future bars (maximum 500). This projection redraws on each tick to maintain its position relative to the moving current bar, but the mathematical trajectory remains constant—only the starting point advances. The current bar's curve value will update tick-by-tick as price develops, which is standard real-time behavior, not repainting. Once a bar closes, all curve values on that bar are permanent. The hybrid architecture (backfit polyline for known history, plot() for unlimited real-time range, projection polyline for controlled forward extension) prevents overflow errors while maintaining non-repainting integrity across all components.
🗒️ NOTES 🗒️
The indicator renders curves based on any anchor points provided without validation. Unusual anchor placement produces mathematically accurate but potentially non-useful results. Adjustment is iterative—if the curve doesn't match expectations, reposition the anchors.
Because anchor points are stored as specific time and price coordinates, a new instance of the indicator should be added when analyzing a different chart or timeframe.
Grip handles can be hidden by setting Grip Size to zero in the settings. This is useful for clean chart screenshots or presentations where interactive elements are not needed.
Projection length can be set to zero if forward-looking curves are not desired. The indicator will still render the backfit curves through the anchor points and continue plotting in real-time without the dotted projection extensions.
Anchor points remain fixed at their selected time-price coordinates as new bars form. The curves extend forward automatically from these historical anchors, allowing observation of how projected trajectories align with developing price action.

Trinity Multi-Timeframe MA TrendUser Guide: Trinity Multi-Timeframe MA Trend - 10 MAs Indicator
Welcome to the Trinity Multi-Timeframe MA Trend indicator! This is a versatile TradingView tool designed for traders who rely on moving averages to gauge trend direction across multiple timeframes. It supports up to 10 customizable moving averages (MAs), displays their trend directions in a compact dashboard, plots the MAs on the chart with color-coded trend indications, and optionally fills the areas between consecutive MAs for visual clarity. The indicator is built to help you quickly assess alignment between short-term and long-term trends, making it ideal for multi-timeframe analysis in strategies like trend following, swing trading, or confirming entry/exit points.
The core idea is to show whether each MA is in an uptrend (price above the MA's previous value) or downtrend (price below), not only on the current chart timeframe but also on up to 5 higher timeframes. This allows you to spot trend convergence or divergence at a glance, reducing the need to switch charts manually. The indicator is fully customizable, so you can tailor it to your preferred lengths, types, and visuals without cluttering your chart.
#### Key Features
- **Multi-Timeframe Dashboard**: A resizable and repositionable table that shows trend directions (↑ for up, ↓ for down) for each enabled MA across 5 user-defined timeframes. The cells are color-coded (green for up, red for down) with subtle background shading for easy reading.
- **Customizable Moving Averages**: Up to 10 MAs, each with independent length, type (EMA, SMA, or HMA), visibility, and transparency settings. You can enable/disable individual MAs to focus on specific ones.
- **Trend-Based Coloring**: Lines and fills change color based on the trend direction of the MA (green for uptrend, red for downtrend).
- **Background Fills**: Optional fills between consecutive MAs, colored according to the faster MA's trend, to highlight crossovers or trend strength visually.
- **Direction Change Arrows**: Small up/down arrows appear on the chart when an MA changes trend direction on the current timeframe, helping spot potential reversals.
- **Dynamic and Lightweight**: The dashboard adjusts automatically if you disable MAs (rows are hidden), and the indicator won't disappear from the chart even if all plots are turned off.
- **No Repainting Option**: Uses `lookahead_on` for security calls, so trends from higher timeframes are consistent but may repaint in realtime (standard for MTF indicators).
This indicator is particularly useful for traders using Fibonacci-based lengths (like your defaults: 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 50, 100, 144, 200, 244), which align with natural market cycles. It's flexible for any asset class, from stocks and forex to crypto.
#### How the Indicator Works
The indicator calculates 10 moving averages on the current chart timeframe. For each MA, it determines the trend direction by comparing the current value to its value two bars ago (a simple slope check). It then fetches the same trend calculation from 5 higher timeframes using `request.security`, allowing you to see if the trend is aligned across scales.
The dashboard summarizes this in a grid:
- Rows: Each enabled MA (labeled as "Type Length", e.g., "EMA 5").
- Columns: The 5 timeframes (labeled with converted names, e.g., "5m" for 5-minute, "1D" for daily).
- Cells: ↑ (uptrend, green) or ↓ (downtrend, red), with background shading for emphasis.
On the chart:
- MAs are plotted as lines with trend colors and user-set transparency.
- Fills (if enabled) shade the area between MAs, inheriting the color from the faster MA's trend.
- Arrows appear above/below bars when an MA's trend changes on the current timeframe.
#### Setting Up the Indicator
Add the indicator to your chart in TradingView, then customize via the Inputs tab. The inputs are grouped for ease:
- **Timeframes Group**: Set the 5 higher timeframes for MTF analysis (defaults: 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, 1D). Use standard TradingView notation like "15" for 15 minutes or "D" for daily.
- **Moving Averages Group**: Adjust lengths and types for each of the 10 MAs. Start with the Fibonacci defaults, but experiment (e.g., shorter for scalping, longer for investing).
- **Visibility Group**: Toggle "Show MA#" to enable/disable individual lines on the chart. Disabling hides the row in the dashboard too.
- **Background Fills Group**: Toggle fills between MAs. These are great for visualizing ribbon-like setups but can clutter busy charts—turn off if not needed.
- **Colors Group**: Set the uptrend (default lime) and downtrend (default red) colors for lines, fills, and dashboard cells.
- **Transparency Group**: Adjust opacity for each MA line (0 = fully opaque/solid, 100 = fully transparent/invisible). Defaults start low for visibility and increase for slower MAs to reduce clutter.
- **Dashboard Group**: Choose position (e.g., "Top Right") and size (e.g., "Normal") for the table. Resize to fit your screen.
After customizing, apply and refresh the chart if needed.
#### Interpreting the Dashboard
The dashboard is the heart of the indicator—use it to confirm trend alignment:
- **Strong Uptrend Signal**: Most cells in a row (or column) show ↑ in green, indicating the MA is upward on multiple timeframes.
- **Strong Downtrend Signal**: Mostly ↓ in red.
- **Divergence**: Mixed ↑/↓ across timeframes suggests caution (e.g., short-term up but long-term down could mean a pullback).
- **Trend Flip**: Watch for rows where the current timeframe cell changes—combine with arrows on the chart for entries.
For example, if you're on a 5m chart and the dashboard shows ↑ on all timeframes for your fast MAs (e.g., MA1-MA3), it's a good buy signal in an uptrend strategy.
#### Using the Chart Plots and Fills
- **MA Lines**: Each enabled MA is plotted with its trend color. Use transparency to layer them without overwhelming the price action—faster MAs (low transparency) stand out, slower ones (high transparency) fade into the background.
- **Fills**: These highlight the space between MAs. In an uptrend, green fills expanding mean strengthening momentum. In a downtrend, red fills contracting could signal a squeeze or reversal. Disable fills if you prefer clean lines.
- **Arrows**: Up arrow (↑) means the MA turned bullish; down (↓) means bearish. These are only on the current timeframe and can be used for alerts (e.g., set TradingView alerts on crossover conditions).
To avoid double lines, ensure no other indicators are plotting similar MAs. If you disable all "Show MA#" toggles, the chart should be clean, but the dashboard remains.
#### Customization and Advanced Usage
- **Strategy Integration**: Use the dashboard for confluence. For example, enter long only when 80% of cells are ↑. Pair with oscillators like RSI for overbought/oversold filters.
- **Scalping vs. Swing**: For short-term trading, focus on fast MAs (1–5) and lower timeframes. For long-term, emphasize slow MAs (6–10) and higher timeframes.
- **HMA vs. EMA/SMA**: HMA is smoother for noisy markets; EMA for responsiveness; SMA for simplicity. Test combinations.
- **Transparency Tips**: Start with low values (0–30) for key MAs to make them prominent. Increase for others to layer without clutter.
- **Dashboard Tips**: Position in "Top Right" for quick glances. Use "Small" size on mobile or crowded screens. If the table is too wide, reduce timeframes.
- **Performance Notes**: With 10 MAs and 5 timeframes, it uses 5 security calls—efficient but may lag on very old devices. Disable unused MAs to optimize.
- **Alerts**: Set alerts on trend changes, e.g., "MA1 trend up" via TradingView's alert setup on the indicator.
#### Troubleshooting
- **No Dashboard**: Ensure at least one MA is enabled and the chart has enough bars (zoom out if needed).
- **Double Lines**: Check for overlapping indicators or duplicates. Reload the chart or TradingView.
- **Repainting**: Higher timeframe trends may repaint in realtime—use for confirmation, not sole signals.
- **Transparency Not Working**: Adjust sliders in Inputs; values above 80 make lines faint. Test on a white background chart if using dark mode.
This indicator is inspired by multi-timeframe trend analysis tools like BigBeluga's original, with these modifications for transparency, fills, extra MA lines, more MA selections and dynamic table.

Azamet StratejiAzamet Strategy: Multi-Timeframe Williams Vix Fix & RSI Bands System
This script is a comprehensive trend-following and reversal detection system designed to identify "Extreme Fear" (Bottoms) and "Extreme Euphoria" (Tops). It combines volatility-based indicators with momentum oscillators to provide a disciplined roadmap for medium to long-term investors.
Core Logic & Methodology:
Bottom Detection (WVF Green Zone): Utilizes the classic Williams Vix Fix algorithm to spot panic-selling events. Green bars on Weekly timeframes signal high-probability long-term accumulation zones.
Top Detection (Inverse WVF Yellow Zone): A custom "Inverse WVF" logic that measures how far price has surged from its recent lows. It highlights "Yellow" zones where market greed and euphoria are at peak levels.
Confirmed Exit Mechanism: To avoid exiting too early during strong bull runs, the strategy requires a minimum of 2 bars of euphoria (Yellow bars). The final "SELL" signal is triggered only after the euphoria fades (Yellow bars end), confirming a trend reversal.
RSI Bands Targeting: Integrated LazyBear RSI Bands visualize the price level where RSI would hit 70, providing a clear dynamic resistance target on the chart.
How to Use:
BUY: Look for "AL" labels following Green WVF bars on Weekly or Daily timeframes for staggered entries.
MONITOR: Prepare for profit-taking as the price approaches the Red RSI 70 Band.
SELL: The "SAT - TREND BİTTİ" (Trend Ended) label triggers the primary exit point after the Yellow exhaustion bars disappear.
Technical Parameters:
Lookback Period: 22 (Standard for WVF)
BB Length/StdDev: 20 / 2.0 (For volatility boundaries)

A professional-grade trading indicator designed to help traders quickly identify intraday trend bias across multiple symbols by tracking price relationships to key technical levels: Prior Day High/Low (PDH/PDL) and Pre-Market High/Low (PMH/PML).
█ FEATURES
► Single Symbol Table
Compact 5-column table displaying PDH, PMH, PDL, PML, and Trend status for the current chart symbol. Shows green dot (🟢) when price breaks above high levels and red dot (🔴) when price breaks below low levels. Progress bars visualize how close price is to breaking key levels.
► Multi Symbol Table
Monitor up to 20 tickers simultaneously in a single table. Each row displays ticker name, price, change %, breakout dots, progress bars, and trend status. Optional columns for actual PMH/PML and PDH/PDL price values. Real-time updates for all symbols with color-coded change percentages.
► Table Sorting
- None - Displays tickers in input order
- Chg % - Sorts by daily change percentage (highest to lowest)
- Bullish - Prioritizes bullish setups at top
- Bearish - Prioritizes bearish setups at top
► PMH/PML Lines (Pre-Market High/Low)
Horizontal lines at pre-market high and low levels (4:00 AM - 9:29 AM ET). Customizable line styles, colors, labels, and optional price display.
► PDH/PDL Lines (Prior Day High/Low)
Horizontal lines at previous trading day's high and low. Uses RTH only for stocks (9:30 AM - 4:00 PM ET) and full 24-hour day for non equities.
► ORB Lines (Opening Range Breakout)
Captures high and low during the opening period with 5-minute, 10-minute, or 30-minute options. Lines persist from market open until next pre-market session.
► EMA Overlays
Three independent EMAs with customizable periods (default: 8, 20, 200). Third EMA can be switched to SMA. Multiple line styles available.
► VWAP Overlay
Volume Weighted Average Price with customizable line style, width, and color.
█ TREND LOGIC
- BULLISH: Price above BOTH Prior Day High AND Pre-Market High
Indicates strong upward momentum breaking through two resistance levels
- BEARISH: Price below BOTH Prior Day Low AND Pre-Market Low
Indicates strong downward momentum breaking through two support levels
- NEUTRAL: Price not above both highs or below both lows
Price is consolidating between key levels
