Natenberg's VolatilityThis indicator is historical volatility indicator created by Sheldon Natenberg , as the standard deviation of the logarithmic price changes measured at regular intervals of time.
In Mr. Natenberg's book, Option Volatility & Pricing, he covers volatility in detail and gives the formula for computing historical volatility.
My changes :
I didn't changed formula, i just added smooth version of volatility it can be used as trigger when cross(over/under) non-smoothed volatility.
Note:
There is two formulas for daily and weekly. Indicator showing only daily formula !
Who wants to display the weekly formula change line 17, namely remove "//"
Enjoy!

20 SMA based Bull/Bear sentiment indicatorThis script is only doing one thing, plots the 20 SMA and based on whether the asset's price is above or below of the SMA it changes the color of the SMA and the background's color.
Helping it to visualize whether from the 20 SMA's point of view we are in a Bull or a Bear trend.
I created this because I myself use this SMA with Bitcoin on the weekly time frame to identify the macro trend on the weekly.
IMO this is a good crypto market sentiment indicator.
Bitcoin Bull Runs Mid Cycle Aligned This script plots 2 lines which are the 2013 and 2016 bull run. The plots are aligned on their mid cycles to the 2021 mid cycle.
Settings:
You can move the plots on the x and y axis in the settings for the Daily, Weekly and Monthly TFs.
The plot is weird on the Monthly TF, best to use the Daily and Weekly.
If it doesn't load at first you have to zoom out fully and go back to 2013 for it to load. Then it will load.
Anti-Volume Stop LossFINALLY!
As everyone who tried to create, understand, or even find the Buff Pelz Dormeier Anti-volume stop-loss indicator knows that - it's not easy. Personally, I have partially, or perhaps completely figured out, the tips Buff had given in Investing with Volume Analysis book.
AVSL now is ready.
Please do some test and give me a feedback how it works in your trade strategy.
Anti-Volume stop loss - AVSL
from Investing with Volume Analysis book CHAPTER 20 • RISKY BUSINESS 253-256:
"It is important in any risk-management process to predetermine an objective decision point level (a stop loss) to exit, thereby protecting principal in case you are wrong. My objective sell point is determined by using a quantitative formula I refer to as Anti-Volume Stop Loss (AVSL). Having a quantitative, yet intelligent sell point eliminates the emotional struggles involved in deciding when to exit a position.
AVSL is a technical methodology that incorporates the concepts of support, volatility, and, most importantly, the inverse relationship between price and volume. The AVSL combines the concepts of the VPCI (Volume Price Confirmation Indicator) and John Bollinger’s Bollinger Bands to create a trailing stop loss.
AVSL = Lower Bollinger Band – (Price, Length, Standard Deviation)
Where:
Length = Round (3 + VPCI)
Price = Average (Lows × 1 / VPC × 1 / VPR, Length)
Standard Deviation = 2 × (VPCI × VM)
One of the most difficult decisions is determining what one’s maximum loss threshold should be. Some say 2 percent; others say 20 percent. I believe the more volatile a security, the looser the stop should be. A nonvolatile security, such as Coca-Cola, might move 7 percent a year, while a volatile security such as Google might move 7 percent in a day. If you use a 7 percent stop for Coca-Cola, it might take a year to be stopped out while the security underperforms.
However, if you use 7 percent for Google, you can be stopped out intraday, not allowing the investment an opportunity to develop. By using the lower Bollinger Band of the securities lows, the AVSL considers each individual security’s own volatility. Thus, a volatile security would be granted more room of the stocks low while a stable security would have a tighter leash (see Figure 20.7).
The next important step is employing the price-volume relationship into the calculation. Volume gauges the power behind price moves. In accounting for this, when a security is in an uptrend and has positive volume characteristics, it is given more room. However, if the security exhibits contracting volume characteristics, then the stop is tightened. In this way, if a negative news event affects an unhealthy security, the stop is tighter, thus preserving more of your profits.
However, if the negative news event affects a security whose price-volume relationship is healthy, the stop has been loosened, avoiding the temporary whipsaw of an otherwise strong position. In these ways, AVSL lets the market decide when to exit your position.
AVSL tailors each security for support, volatility, and the pricevolume relationship based on an investor’s time frame as calculated from the chart data. For example, my portfolio positions are continually re-evaluated with this AVSL methodology, which yields the possibility of raising the decision point threshold periodically based on the time frame of my investment objective. With my short-term Giddy-up portfolios, I use daily chart data and seek to raise my maximum loss stop on a daily basis.
My intermediate ETF and stock positions are calculated off of weekly data and then re-evaluated weekly. With my longer term stock portfolios, the decision point is calculated off data revised monthly. This analytical approach that uses measurable facts over emotion or gut instincts allows me to maintain my objectivity. Thus objectivity, not emotion, informs my investment decisions."
How look mine AVSL:
Price component = low × 1/VPC × 1/VPR : for VPC > 1 and VPC < -1 | low × 1 × 1/VPR : for 1 > VPC > 0 | low × -1 × 1/VPR : for 0 > VPC > -1
AVSL Price = sma((low × 1/VPC × 1/VPR) , length) / 100
length = round : for VPCI > 0 | round [ absolute ] : for VPCI < 0 | 3 : for VPCI=0
Standard Deviation = mult × VPCI × VM)
AVSL = sma(Actual low price - AWSL Price + Standard Deviation, 26)
It's hard to say is it the same as in Buff Pelz Dormeier book, but I encourage you to modify the script for better results.
Moving Average Over Timea simple moving average and an exponential moving average that change periods along with temporality: WEEKLY: MA48, EMA24; DAILY: MA21, EMA11; H4: MA30, EMA15; H1: MA120, EMA30.
Trend AnalyzerA simple script that plots difference between 2 moving averages and depicts convergance/divergance in color coded format.
Anything <= 0 is red and shows a bearish trend whereas > 0 is green and shows bullish trend.
Adjust the input parameters as following for your preferred time frame :
4-Hr: Exponential, 15, 30
Daily: Exponential, 10, 20
Weekly: Exponential, 5, 10
stoch pop and RSI2 strategyI have combined stochsatic POP and RSI2 strategy.
Go Long on stochstaic > 80 and RSI2 pulled back to 30 (note when you are entering Long, check that stochsatic is still above 80 )
Close Long when stochastic crossing down 55
I have back tested this on SPY weekly. It has less trades but high profitable with very less draw down.
Other time frames you have more signals but , not great winning rate.
Since this is weekly setup, good for investing ... long waiting to close , patience required :-)
Bitcoin Risk Long Term indicatorOBJECTIVE:
The purpose of this indicator is to synthesize via an average several indicators from a wide choice with in order to simplify the reading of the bitcoin price and that on a long term vision.
Useful for those who want to see things simply, typically to make a smart DCA based on risk.
I originally used this script as a sandbox to understand and test the usefulness of several indicators, and to develop my PineScript skills, but finally the Risk Indicator output seems relevant so I decided to share it.
USAGE:
The selected indicators are the ones that I think give the best market bottoms, but the idea here is that anyone can try and use any set of indicators based on those preferences (post in comments if you find a relevant config)
Most of the indicator inputs are configurable. And some are not taken into account in the calculation of the Risk indicator because I consider them not relevant, this script is also a test more than a final version.
NOTES :
If you have any idea of adding an indicator, modification, criticism, bug found: share them, it is appreciated!
In the future I will create another more versatile Risk indicator that will not be focused on bitcoin in weekly. (this indicator is still usable on other assets and timeframe)

OBJECTIF :
L'objectif de cet indicateur est de synthétiser via une moyenne plusieurs indicateurs parmi un large choix avec afin de simplifier la lecture du cours de bitcoin et cela sur une vision longue terme.
Utile pour ceux qui veulent voir les choses simplement, typiquement faire un DCA intelligent en fonction du risque.
À la base j'ai utilisé ce script comme un bac à sable pour comprendre puis tester l'utilité de plusieurs indicateurs, et développer mes compétences PineScript, mais finalement l'output Risk Indicateur me semble pertinent donc autant le partager.
UTILISATION :
Les indicateurs sélectionnés sont ceux qui permettent selon moi d'avoir les meilleurs point bas de marché, mais l'idée ici est que chacun puisse essayer et utiliser n'importe quel ensemble d'indicateur en fonction de ces préférences (poster en commentaire si vous trouvez une configuration pertinente)
La plupart des inputs indicateurs sont paramétrables. Et certains ne sont pas pris en compte dans le calcul du Risk indicateur car je les estime non pertinent, ce script est aussi un essai plus qu'une version finale.
NOTES :
Si vous avez la moindre idée d'ajout d'indicateur, modification, critique, bug trouvé : partagez-les, c'est apprécié !
à l'avenir je créerais un autre Risk indicator plus polyvalent qui ne sera pas focalisé sur bitcoin en weekly. (cet indicateur est tout de même utilisable sur d'autre actif et timeframe)

Multi Range VWAP PivotsMulti Range VWAP Pivots turned out to be one of my most accurate pivot indicators to date!
Multi Range VWAP Pivots works by recognizing the high and low of the timeframe selected (D, W, M, 6M, and 12M) and plotting range high to VWAP averages and range low to VWAP averages.
After further examination of each completed range, I came to the conclusion that due to the nature of averages, high and low respectively would need to be completed within the current range, for the averages to actually display pivots correctly. This means that if all averages appear to be "pivoting" correctly after or during a break lower of higher, then we can only assume the most recent break higher or lower could be exhaustion and price will be reverted to the mean (VWAP). OR, this could be the most accurate hindsight indicator on the planet.
*DISCLAIMER*: This indicator repaints. DO NOT backtest or set alerts with this indicator.
Privious Day and Week ValuesThis indicator is designed for price action. It divides the price range in to four zones based on last week values. Besides, it shows yesterday highest and lowest values. The price usually shows reactions to the drawn horizontal lines!
Ranked Exchange Volume (REV)📊 Ranked Exchange Volume (REV) - Multi-Venue Volume Distribution Visualizer
## Stop Guessing Where the Real Volume Is. See It.
Most traders look at aggregate volume and miss the critical story: **where** that volume actually traded. Ranked Exchange Volume (REV) solves this by revealing the complete liquidity landscape across multiple trading venues in a single, elegant visualization.
This isn't just another volume indicator—it's a **dynamic stratified histogram** that automatically reorganizes exchange layers by magnitude on every bar, showing you **instant market dominance** at a glance.
---
## 🎯 The Core Innovation: Self-Organizing Volume Layers
REV displays volume from up to 10 different exchanges as **stacked, color-coded bars** where the largest volume source literally rises to the top. Watch as exchanges compete for dominance in real-time:
- **Largest volume = Top of the bar** (most visible position)
- **Smallest volume = Bottom of the bar** (foundation layer)
- **Everything in between = Automatically sorted on every candle**
This visual hierarchy makes it instantly obvious which venues are leading the market—no mental math required.
---
## ✨ Key Features
### 🔄 **Dynamic Layer Sorting**
Unlike static stacked charts, REV uses real-time stratification. If Binance had 60% of volume last bar but Coinbase takes 70% this bar, you'll see Coinbase jump to the top. The hierarchy reflects current reality, not a fixed order.
### 🎨 **10 Fully Customizable Exchange Slots**
Each exchange slot offers complete control:
- **Enable/Disable toggle** - Turn exchanges on/off without losing your configuration
- **Custom prefix** - Track ANY exchange on TradingView (BINANCE, KRAKEN, OANDA, FXCM, etc.)
- **Custom suffix** - Specify quote currency (USDT, USD, EUR, or leave blank for stocks/forex)
- **Display name** - Control how exchanges appear in the rankings table
- **Color selection** - Match your chart theme or use brand colors for instant recognition
### 📊 **Live Rankings Table**
A real-time leaderboard shows:
- **Rank** - Current position (1 = highest volume)
- **Exchange name** - With color-coded background
- **Volume** - Intelligently formatted with K/M/B units
- **Percentage** - Exact market share
**Table positioning:** Choose from 9 screen positions (top/middle/bottom × left/center/right) to keep your chart clean.
### 🧮 **Intelligent Volume Formatting**
REV automatically detects volume magnitude and applies the appropriate scale:
- **Billions** - Displays as "1.5B" for readability
- **Millions** - Displays as "342.8M"
- **Thousands** - Displays as "45.2K"
- **Full numbers option** - Toggle to see complete values (23,456,789)
The scale adjusts per-bar, so you always see the clearest representation.
### 🚨 **Three Built-In Alert Conditions**
1. **Exchange Dominance Alert (>50%)**
- Triggers when a single venue controls majority of volume
- Signals potential liquidity concentration risk or exchange-specific events
2. **Volume Spike Alert (>2x average)**
- Detects unusual aggregate activity across all venues
- Catches breakouts, news events, or institutional flow
3. **Liquidity Migration Alert**
- Fires when market leadership shifts between exchanges
- Reveals arbitrage opportunities or changing market structure
### 📈 **Optional Total Volume Line**
Display aggregate volume from all exchanges as a reference overlay with customizable color.
---
## 🌍 Market Compatibility: Beyond Crypto
While optimized for cryptocurrency (its primary design), REV works across multiple asset classes:
### ✅ **Cryptocurrency (Perfect Fit)**
**Why it excels:** Crypto trades 24/7 across dozens of global exchanges simultaneously. REV reveals true price discovery.
**Example configurations:**
- **BTC/USDT:** Compare Binance, Coinbase, OKX, Bybit, Kraken, Bitget
- **ETH/USD:** Track institutional venues (Coinbase, Kraken, Gemini) vs retail (Binance, Gate.io)
- **Altcoins:** Identify which exchanges have the deepest liquidity before placing large orders
**Trading applications:**
- **Arbitrage detection** - Spot when volume migrates between venues (price differential opportunities)
- **Exchange risk** - Don't trade on exchanges with suspiciously low volume
- **Whale tracking** - Sudden Coinbase dominance often signals institutional activity
- **Market maker identification** - Consistent Binance leadership suggests MM concentration
### ✅ **Forex (Excellent Fit)**
**Why it works:** Forex doesn't have centralized exchanges—it trades OTC across multiple broker feeds. REV shows which data providers are seeing the action.
**Example configurations:**
- **EUR/USD:** Compare OANDA, FXCM, FOREX.COM, FX_IDC, CAPITALCOM
- **GBP/JPY:** Track volatility across broker feeds
- **Exotics:** Verify liquidity before trading thin pairs
**Setup notes:**
- Leave **suffix field blank** for forex
- Use broker prefixes: OANDA, FXCM, FOREXCOM, FX_IDC, SAXO
- Symbol constructs as "OANDA:EURUSD"
**Trading applications:**
- **Spread verification** - Higher volume feeds typically offer tighter spreads
- **News event tracking** - See which brokers capture the most flow during announcements
- **Session analysis** - Watch London/NY volume shifts across different providers
### ⚠️ **Stocks (Limited But Useful)**
**Where it works:**
- **Dual-listed stocks** - Canadian companies on TSX and NYSE
- **International ADRs** - Same company, different exchanges
- **ETF arbitrage** - Compare volume across regional listings
**Example configurations:**
- **Shopify (SHOP):** Compare TSX vs NYSE volume
- **Alibaba (BABA):** NYSE vs HKEX volume
- **European stocks:** Compare primary exchange vs secondary listings
**Setup notes:**
- Leave **suffix field blank**
- Use exchange prefixes: NYSE, NASDAQ, TSX, LSE, XETRA
- Note: TradingView doesn't show per-venue volume for U.S. equities (NYSE vs BATS vs ARCA all aggregate)
**Limitations:** Most stocks trade primarily on one exchange, so REV is less valuable than in crypto/forex.
### ❌ **Futures (Not Recommended)**
Futures contracts differ by exchange (CME's ES ≠ EUREX's FESX), so volume isn't comparable.
---
## 📚 Practical Use Cases
### 1. **Pre-Trade Liquidity Analysis**
Before entering a large position, check which exchanges have sufficient volume to fill your order without slippage.
**Example:** You want to sell 50 BTC. REV shows Binance has 2,340 BTC volume this hour while a smaller exchange has only 87 BTC. Route your order to Binance for better execution.
### 2. **Exchange Risk Management**
Identify "fake volume" or wash trading by comparing venues.
**Red flag pattern:** An exchange consistently shows 10x the volume of competitors but with minimal price impact—likely artificial.
### 3. **Arbitrage Opportunity Detection**
When volume suddenly concentrates on one exchange, price premiums/discounts often appear.
**Alert pattern:** Liquidity Migration alert fires → Check price differences → Execute arb if spread exceeds fees.
### 4. **Institutional Flow Tracking**
In crypto, institutions typically use regulated exchanges (Coinbase, Kraken, Gemini).
**Pattern to watch:** Coinbase volume spikes to 60%+ dominance → Often precedes directional moves as institutions position.
### 5. **Market Structure Analysis**
Watch long-term trends in exchange dominance to understand market evolution.
**Example insight:** "Binance's market share has dropped from 70% to 45% over 6 months as traders diversify to OKX and Bybit."
### 6. **Event Response Comparison**
During major news events, see which exchanges react first.
**Analysis:** If one exchange shows volume spike 5 minutes before others, that feed may have faster news incorporation.
---
## ⚙️ Technical Specifications
- **Maximum exchanges:** 10 simultaneous venues
- **Sorting algorithm:** Bubble sort (O(n²) but optimal for n=10, prioritizes stability)
- **Update frequency:** Real-time, every bar
- **Data handling:** Gracefully ignores invalid symbols, treats NA as zero
- **Chart type:** Non-overlay (separate pane below price)
- **Performance:** Lightweight, no lag on any timeframe
---
## 🚀 Getting Started

2. Go to Exchange 1 settings
3. Change prefix to "OANDA" (or your preferred broker)
4. **Clear the suffix field** (leave it blank)
5. Repeat for other exchanges (FXCM, FOREXCOM, FX_IDC, etc.)
6. Disable any unused exchange slots
**For Stock Traders (Dual-Listed):**
1. Open a dual-listed stock (e.g., SHOP on TSX)
2. Exchange 1: Prefix = "TSX", Suffix = blank, Name = "Toronto"
3. Exchange 2: Prefix = "NYSE", Suffix = blank, Name = "New York"
4. Disable exchanges 3-10
5. Compare volume distribution
### Advanced Customization
**Tracking Regional Markets:**
Want to compare Korean vs Japanese crypto exchanges?
- Exchange 1: UPBIT (Korean)
- Exchange 2: BITHUMB (Korean)
- Exchange 3: BITFLYER (Japanese)
- Exchange 4: COINCHECK (Japanese)
**Isolating Institutional Volume:**
Focus only on regulated U.S. exchanges:
- Enable: Coinbase, Kraken, Gemini
- Disable: All others
- Watch for >50% dominance alerts
---
## 👥 Who Is This For?
### ✅ **Perfect for:**
- **Crypto day traders** - Need to know where liquidity actually is
- **Arbitrage traders** - Spot cross-exchange inefficiencies
- **Institutional traders** - Validate execution venues before large orders
- **Forex scalpers** - Compare broker feeds for best execution
- **Market structure analysts** - Track long-term exchange dominance trends
### ❌ **Less useful for:**
- **Long-term investors** who don't care about short-term liquidity
- **Single-exchange traders** who never compare venues
- **Futures traders** (contracts differ by exchange)
---
## 🎓 Understanding the Visualization
**What each colored segment means:**
Each horizontal stripe represents one exchange's volume contribution. The **height** of each stripe shows that exchange's volume relative to others.
**Reading the pattern:**
- **Dominant top layer** (50%+ of bar) = Clear market leader
- **Evenly distributed layers** (10-15% each) = Fragmented liquidity
- **Sudden layer reorganization** = Liquidity migration event
- **Shrinking bottom layers** = Exchanges losing market share
**Color coding strategy:**
The indicator defaults to exchange brand colors for instant recognition:
- Yellow = Binance (their signature gold)
- Blue = Coinbase (their brand blue)
- Purple = Kraken (their brand purple)
- etc.
You can customize all colors to match your chart theme.
---
## 🔧 Configuration Tips
### **Best Practices:**
1. **Start with defaults** - Test on BTC/USDT to understand behavior
2. **Disable unused exchanges** - Cleaner visualization, faster computation
3. **Match your trading venues** - Only track exchanges you actually use
4. **Use brand colors initially** - Helps build visual pattern recognition
5. **Enable alerts strategically** - Don't spam yourself; focus on actionable signals
### **Common Mistakes to Avoid:**
❌ Tracking too many irrelevant exchanges (creates visual noise)
❌ Forgetting to clear suffix for forex/stocks (symbol won't construct properly)
❌ Using the same color for multiple exchanges (defeats instant recognition)
❌ Hiding the table permanently (you lose the percentage data)
---
## 📊 Performance Notes
- **Lightweight computation** - No impact on chart performance
- **Works on all timeframes** - 1-minute to monthly
- **Historical analysis** - Full bar history available (max_bars_back=5000)
- **Multi-monitor friendly** - Table positioning adapts to any screen layout
---
## 🆕 Future Enhancements (Planned)
While the current version is feature-complete, potential additions include:
- Volume-weighted average price (VWAP) overlay per exchange
- Historical dominance charts (which exchange led most this week/month)
- Correlation matrix (do exchanges move together or independently?)
**User feedback shapes development** - Comment with your requests!
---
## 💡 Pro Tips
### **Tip 1: The "Whale Exchange" Filter**
In crypto, institutions use Coinbase/Kraken. Enable ONLY these two exchanges to isolate professional flow and ignore retail noise.
### **Tip 2: The "Arbitrage Scanner"**
Set Liquidity Migration alert on 1-minute timeframe. When it fires, check price across exchanges—often there's a temporary premium/discount.
### **Tip 3: The "Liquidity Gauge"**
Before placing a large market order, switch to 5-minute timeframe and check last 10 bars. If your target exchange consistently has <20% of volume, you'll face slippage.
### **Tip 4: The "Market Structure Tracker"**
Take screenshots of the table weekly. Over time, you'll see exchange market share trends that reveal fundamental shifts in trader preferences.
### **Tip 5: The "News Event Validator"**
During major announcements (Fed decisions, earnings, etc.), watch which exchange shows volume first. That's where informed traders are positioned.
---
## 🎯 Summary
**Ranked Exchange Volume (REV) transforms volume analysis from a single number into a complete market microstructure view.**
Instead of seeing "1.2M volume," you see:
- Binance: 640K (53%)
- Coinbase: 280K (23%)
- OKX: 180K (15%)
- Bybit: 100K (9%)
**That's actionable intelligence.**
Whether you're executing a large crypto trade, arbitraging forex across brokers, or validating liquidity before buying a dual-listed stock, REV shows you **where the market actually is**—not where you assume it is.

SA Range Rank JNJ.WEEK. 1.15.2026Signal Architect™ — Developer Note
Weekly
These daily posts are intentional.
They are not meant to showcase wins, targets, or outcomes.
They are designed to help viewers observe consistency in market behavior—specifically how structure, range, and reaction repeat across different products and timeframes.
The value is not in catching every move.
The value is in knowing when participation is unnecessary or unsupported.
Signal Architect™ tools are built to help traders avoid low-quality decisions, not to encourage constant activity.
________________________________________
What These Posts Are Demonstrating
Over time, if you observe these posts across equities and futures, you’ll begin to notice:
• The same structural traps repeat across different instruments
• The same reactions occur across multiple timeframes
• The same stop-run and absorption behaviors appear regardless of volatility
That repetition is not coincidence.
It reflects how markets consistently behave, even as prices change.
The goal of these posts is to make that behavior familiar—
because familiarity reduces hesitation, overtrading, and unnecessary loss.
Consistency is not the outcome.
Consistency is the environment.
________________________________________
What You’re Seeing (Public View)
These charts display a limited visual preview of tools within the Signal Architect™ framework.
Only visual context is shown.
Core logic, calculations, thresholds, and execution rules are intentionally not disclosed.
The tools emphasize:
• Market structure over prediction
• Environmental awareness over signals
• Risk framing over reward chasing
Nothing shown publicly is meant to tell you what to trade.
It is meant to help you recognize when not to trade.
________________________________________
Why This Matters
Most losses do not come from being wrong on direction.
They come from participating:
• too early
• too late
• during transitions
• inside structural traps
Signal Architect™ tools are designed to filter those moments out.
In many cases, the highest-value action is:
• standing aside
• reducing size
• waiting for clarity
Saving capital is part of execution.
Avoiding a bad trade is often more valuable than finding a good one.

Weekly (W) — Strategic Regime / “Where price is allowed to live”
Goal: Identify the dominant direction + structural permission for the entire week(s).
How to use:
• Treat weekly RECLAIM as regime confirmation, not an entry.
• If weekly prints Bull RECLAIM, favor long participation on lower timeframes until weekly invalidates.
• If weekly prints Bear RECLAIM, same idea but short-biased.
Best behavior to look for:
• 1–2 reclaim signals per month/quarter.
• Use it as a “macro gate.”
Recommended settings (starting point):
• dispMult 1.2–1.6
• reclaimWindow 20–40
• cooldown 8–20
🟣 WEEKLY — Macro Regime & Liquidity Clearing
1️⃣ Range Indicator (RI)
• <30 → long-term compression (energy building)
• >70 → macro expansion (trend regime active)
Use:
Defines whether markets are coiling or trending on a multi-month scale.
________________________________________
2️⃣ ZoneEngine (Structure)
• Identifies macro structural bias
• Explains why certain weekly moves fail or accelerate
Use:
Never fight weekly structure. This is your “market weather.”
________________________________________
3️⃣ Cloud / Reclaim (Behavior)
• Clouds classify regime state, not entries
• Reclaims are informational only on weekly
Use:
Helps label the regime: continuation vs transition.
________________________________________
4️⃣ Stop-Hunt Proxy
• Represents large-scale liquidity clearing
• Often tied to:
o fund rebalancing
o regime shifts
o macro events
Use:
Context only. Weekly stop-hunts explain why a regime changed — they are not trades.
Momentum Regime and Confluence EngineThe Momentum Regime and Confluence Engine is a momentum-based indicator designed to help traders understand trend context, alignment, and timing—without relying on price prediction or repainting logic.
Instead of telling you what to buy or sell, this tool answers three critical questions:
Which timeframe is in control?
Is short-term momentum aligned or counter-trend?
When is momentum likely to change?
🔹 Core Concept (Simple Explanation)
Markets move in cycles of momentum.
This indicator visualizes those cycles across Weekly and Daily timeframes and places them into a single, easy-to-read view.
Weekly momentum defines the broader market regime
Daily momentum shows shorter-term pressure inside that regime
Projection provides an early visual guide for potential momentum shifts
🟢🔴 Momentum Lines (%K / %D)
The indicator uses two smooth momentum lines:
Green line → rising momentum pressure
Red line → declining momentum pressure
These lines move between 0 and 100:
Near 0 → downside momentum is exhausted
Near 100 → upside momentum is exhausted
When green is above red, momentum is improving.
When red is above green, momentum is weakening.
🟥🟩 Weekly Context Background (Primary Trend)
The background color represents the Weekly momentum regime:
Green → Weekly bullish context
Red → Weekly bearish context
Gray → Neutral / transitional phase
Weekly context changes slowly by design and uses hysteresis logic, meaning it will not flip back and forth near a crossover. Momentum must prove itself before the regime changes.
This helps reduce false signals and whipsaws.
🟢🔴 Daily Context Overlay (Timing Layer)
A lighter background overlay shows Daily momentum context:
Reacts faster than the weekly layer
Can temporarily move against the weekly trend
Highlights pullbacks, relief rallies, and short-term shifts
Examples:
Weekly red + Daily green → short-term bounce in a downtrend
Weekly green + Daily red → pullback in an uptrend
📈 Projection & “Projected Cross”
The indicator includes an optional momentum projection:
It analyzes a historical momentum pattern
Maps that behavior forward in time
Displays a projected path for the momentum lines
A “Projected Cross” label marks where a momentum crossover is likely to occur if similar conditions repeat.
Projections are scenarios, not guarantees.
They are intended as early awareness, not signals.
🏷 Weekly Context Tag
A small on-screen tag displays the current Weekly regime:
W Context: Bull
W Context: Bear
W Context: Neutral
This provides quick confirmation without needing to interpret colors alone.
🧭 How to Use This Indicator
Start with the Weekly background
Identify the dominant market regime.
Check the Daily overlay
Look for alignment or counter-trend behavior.
Watch for projected momentum shifts
Prepare for volatility or transition.
Use price for confirmation
Momentum often shifts before price reacts.
✅ Best Use Cases
Identifying trend regime and momentum bias
Avoiding trades against higher-timeframe pressure
Timing pullbacks and momentum reversals
Staying objective during market noise
⚠️ Important Notes
This indicator does not predict price
It does not generate buy/sell signals
It is a context and timing tool, not a standalone strategy
Final Thought
The Momentum Regime and Confluence Engine is designed to help traders see who is in control, who is pushing back, and when momentum is likely to change—before price makes it obvious.
Swing High Low Liquidity Pools with Purge CriteriaThis Pine Script indicator plots dynamic liquidity pool levels from swing highs/lows using two configurable sensitivities (short-term and longer-term), extends lines until breached by a percentage threshold, and displays horizontal All-Time High (ATH) and All-Time Low (ATL) lines. User can choose to hide liquidity pool levels that are no longer active.
Recommended for higher time frames like daily and weekly.
CME Gap Tracker [captainua]CME Gap Tracker - Advanced Gap Detection & Tracking System
Overview
This indicator provides comprehensive gap detection and tracking capabilities for both consecutive bar gaps and weekly CME trading session gaps. It automatically detects gaps, tracks their fill progress in real-time, provides detailed statistics, and includes backtesting features to validate gap trading strategies. The script is optimized for CME futures trading but works with any instrument, automatically handling ticker conversion between CME futures and spot markets.
Gap Detection Types
Consecutive Bar Gaps:
Detects gaps between any two consecutive bars on the current timeframe. Two detection modes are available:
- High/Low Mode: Detects gaps when current bar's low > previous bar's high (gap up) or current bar's high < previous bar's low (gap down). This is more sensitive and detects more gaps.
- Close/Open Mode: Detects gaps when current bar's open > previous bar's close (gap up) or current bar's open < previous bar's close (gap down). This is more conservative.
Weekly CME Gaps:
Detects gaps between weekly trading sessions, specifically designed for CME futures markets. The script automatically detects the first bar of each new week and compares the current week's open with the previous week's close/high/low. This is particularly useful for tracking weekend gaps in CME futures markets where price can gap significantly between Friday close and Monday open.
Smart Ticker Detection
The script automatically converts between CME futures tickers (e.g., BTC1!, ETH1!) and spot tickers (e.g., BTCUSDT, ETHUSDT). When viewing a CME futures chart, it can automatically detect and use the corresponding spot ticker for gap analysis, and vice versa. This allows traders to:
- View CME futures but track spot market gaps
- View spot markets but track CME futures gaps
- Manually override with custom ticker specification
The ticker validation system uses caching to prevent race conditions during initial script load, ensuring reliable ticker resolution.
Gap Filtering & Tolerance
Static Tolerance:
Set minimum and maximum gap sizes as percentages (default: show only gaps > 0.333% and < 100%). This filters out noise and focuses on significant gaps.
Dynamic Tolerance:
When enabled, tolerance is calculated dynamically based on ATR (Average True Range). The formula: Dynamic Tolerance = (ATR × ATR Multiplier / Close Price) × 100%. This adapts to market volatility - in volatile markets, only larger gaps are shown; in calm markets, smaller gaps are displayed. This is particularly useful for instruments with varying volatility.
Absolute Size Filtering:
In addition to percentage filtering, gaps can be filtered by absolute price size (e.g., show only gaps > $100). This is useful for instruments where percentage alone doesn't capture significance (e.g., high-priced stocks).
Fill Confirmation System
To reduce false gap closure signals, the script requires multiple consecutive bars to confirm gap closure. The default is 2 bars, but can be adjusted from 1-10 bars. Lower values (1) confirm faster but may produce false signals from temporary wicks. Higher values (3-5) reduce false fill signals but delay confirmation. This prevents temporary price spikes from triggering false gap closure alerts.
Gap Fill Tracking
The script tracks gap fill progress in real-time:
- Fill Percentage: How much of the gap has been filled (0-100%)
- Fill Speed: Whether fill is accelerating, decelerating, or constant
- Time to Fill: For closed gaps, how many bars it took to fill
- Fill Status: Unfilled, partially filled, or fully filled
Visual Features
Heatmap Colors:
Gap colors can be adjusted based on gap size, with larger gaps appearing more intense and smaller gaps more faded.
Adaptive Line Width:
Line thickness automatically adjusts based on gap size, making larger gaps more prominent.
Age-Based Coloring:
Gaps can be color-coded by age, with newer gaps appearing brighter and older gaps more faded.
Confluence Zones:
Areas where multiple gaps overlap are highlighted with enhanced visuals, indicating stronger support/resistance zones.
Gap Statistics
A comprehensive statistics table provides:
- Total gaps created, open, and closed
- Fill rates by direction (up vs down) and size category (small, medium, large)
- Average fill time, fastest fill, slowest fill
- Oldest gap and oldest unfilled gap
- Backtesting results: success rate, reversal rate, average move after fill
- CME gap expiration statistics: Gaps expired unfilled (for Weekly CME gaps only)
Statistics can be filtered by period (All Time, Last 100/500/1000/5000 bars) and can be reset via toggle button.
Backtesting
When enabled, the script tracks price movement after gap fills:
- Price after fill: Captures price when gap closes
- Move after fill: Percentage price movement after closure
- Success/Reversal tracking: Determines if price continued in fill direction or reversed
- Success rate: Percentage of gaps where price continued in fill direction
This data helps validate gap trading strategies and understand gap fill behavior.
Gap Re-opening Detection
When enabled, the script detects when a previously filled gap reopens (price gaps back through the filled gap zone). This is useful for identifying when support/resistance levels break and can signal trend reversals.
CME-Specific Features
Monday Opening Volume Analysis:
For Weekly CME gaps detected on Monday openings, the script tracks Monday opening volume relative to average volume. Higher Monday volume ratios indicate stronger gap significance. This ratio is integrated into gap strength calculations and can be displayed in gap labels. Gaps with Monday volume > 1.5x average receive priority score boosts.
CME Gap Expiration Tracking:
Weekly CME gaps that remain unfilled beyond a configurable threshold (default 1000 bars) are automatically marked as "expired" and tracked separately in statistics. This helps identify gaps that act as strong support/resistance levels and never fill. Expired gaps are displayed with special labeling and counted in the "Gaps Expired (CME)" statistic.
CME Gap Priority Scoring Enhancement:
The priority scoring system includes special boosts for CME gaps:
- Monday gaps: +10 points (gaps detected on Monday openings)
- High Monday volume gaps: +15 points (Monday volume ratio > 1.5x average)
- Gaps at key weekly levels: +10 points (gaps aligning with previous week's high, low, or close within 0.5% tolerance)
These enhancements help prioritize the most significant CME gaps for trading decisions.
Custom Gap Zones
Traders can manually mark custom gap zones by specifying top and bottom levels. These zones are tracked like automatically detected gaps, allowing traders to:
- Mark historical gaps that weren't detected
- Create support/resistance zones based on other analysis
- Track specific price levels of interest
Multi-Timeframe Support
The script can detect gaps on higher timeframes simultaneously. For example, when viewing a 1-hour chart, it can also detect and display gaps from the weekly timeframe. This provides multi-timeframe context for gap analysis.
Alert System
Comprehensive alert system with multiple trigger types:
- Gap Creation: Alert when new gaps are detected
- Gap Closure: Alert when gaps are fully filled
- Partial Fill: Alert when gaps reach specific fill percentages (e.g., 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%)
- Approaching Closure: Alert when gaps reach high fill levels (e.g., 90%, 95%) before closing
- Gap Re-opening: Alert when previously filled gaps reopen
Alerts can be filtered to trigger only on Mondays (useful for CME weekly gaps) or any day.
Filtering Options
Gaps can be filtered by:
- Fill Status: Show all, unfilled only, partially filled only, or fully filled only
- Fill Percentage Range: Show gaps within specific fill percentage ranges
- Gap Age: Show only gaps within specific age ranges (bars)
- Gap Expiration: Automatically remove gaps older than specified number of bars (for Weekly CME gaps, uses separate CME expiration threshold)
Performance & Safety
The script includes several safety features:
- Safe array operations to prevent index out-of-bounds errors
- Memory leak prevention through proper visual object cleanup
- Ticker validation caching to prevent race conditions
- Week boundary detection for accurate CME gap identification
- Fill confirmation system to reduce false signals
- Monday opening volume analysis for CME gap strength assessment
- CME gap expiration tracking with configurable thresholds
- Priority scoring enhancement for Monday gaps, high Monday volume, and key weekly levels

Macros+AMD [NW]Macros + AMD - Daily & Weekly Time-Based Analysis
Multi-timeframe AMD (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution) visualization with ICT Macro timing windows for time-based market analysis.
Overview
This indicator visualizes the AMD (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution) framework on both daily and weekly timeframes, combined with ICT Macro timing windows. It is designed as an educational tool to help traders study time-based market structure and algorithmic price delivery concepts.
The AMD model is based on the idea that markets move through distinct phases within each trading period:
Accumulation (A) - Initial range formation, liquidity building
Manipulation (M) - False moves to trap traders, liquidity sweeps
Distribution (D) - True directional move, price delivery to targets
What This Indicator Displays
Daily AMD Phases
Displays the intraday AMD cycle based on New York trading hours:
A Phase (Blue): 4:00 AM - 8:35 AM EST — Morning accumulation, Asian/London overlap
M Phase (Red): 8:35 AM - 11:25 AM EST — NY session manipulation, news events
D Phase (Green): 11:25 AM - 4:00 PM EST — Afternoon distribution and price delivery
Weekly AMD Phases
Displays the weekly AMD cycle from Monday to Monday:
A Phase: Monday 00:00 - Tuesday 21:56 EST — Weekly high/low formation begins
M Phase: Tuesday 21:56 - Thursday 02:04 EST — Mid-week reversal zone
D Phase: Thursday 02:04 - Monday 00:00 EST — Weekly price delivery
Inner M Phase Fibs
When enabled, subdivides the M (Manipulation) phase using Fibonacci levels:
0.382 level — Inner accumulation ends
0.500 level — Mid-point of manipulation
0.618 level — Inner distribution begins
This helps identify potential reversal points within the manipulation phase.
ICT Macro Windows
Horizontal lines marking the XX:42 to XX:15 macro periods (33-minute windows):
2:42 - 3:15 AM
3:42 - 4:15 AM (London)
7:42 - 8:15 AM
8:42 - 9:15 AM
9:42 - 10:15 AM (Prime AM session)
10:42 - 11:15 AM
11:42 - 12:15 PM
12:42 - 1:15 PM
1:42 - 2:15 PM
2:42 - 3:15 PM
These windows represent times when algorithmic price delivery is more likely to occur.
How To Use
Understanding the AMD Framework
During the A Phase:
Observe range formation and initial liquidity pools
Note the high and low established during this phase
Wait for manipulation before committing to direction
During the M Phase:
Watch for false breakouts and stop hunts
Look for reversal patterns after liquidity sweeps
The inner fibs (0.382, 0.5, 0.618) can help time entries within this phase
Mid-week (Wednesday) often sees key reversals on weekly AMD
During the D Phase:
This is typically when the true move occurs
Price tends to deliver toward draw on liquidity targets
The direction is often opposite to the manipulation move
Using the Macro Windows
The XX:42 to XX:15 windows are times to pay attention to price action:
These 33-minute periods often see increased algorithmic activity
Look for displacement, fair value gaps, or order blocks forming
The 9:42-10:15 AM window is considered particularly significant for NY session
Weekly Day Labels
Monday/Tuesday: "H/L of Week" — Watch for weekly high or low formation
Wednesday: "Reversal Day" — Mid-week reversal probability increases
Thursday/Friday: "Reversal Day" — Continuation or secondary reversal

PivotBoss VWAP Bands (Auto TF) - FixedWhat this indicator shows (high level)
The indicator plots a VWAP line and three bands above (R1, R2, R3) and three bands below (S1, S2, S3).
Band spacing is computed from STD(abs(VWAP − price), N) and multiplied by 1, 2 and 3 to form R1–R3 / S1–S3. The script is timeframe-aware: on 30m/1H charts it uses Weekly VWAP and weekly bands; on Daily charts it uses Monthly VWAP and monthly bands; otherwise it uses the session/chart VWAP.
VWAP = the market’s volume-weighted average price (a measure of fair value). Bands = volatility-scaled zones around that fair value.
Trading idea — concept summary
VWAP = fair value. Price above VWAP implies bullish bias; below VWAP implies bearish bias.
Bands = graded overbought/oversold zones. R1/S1 are near-term limits, R2/S2 are stronger, R3/S3 are extreme.
Use trend alignment + price action + volume to choose higher-probability trades. VWAP bands give location and magnitude; confirmations reduce false signals.
Entry rules (multiple strategies with examples)
A. Momentum breakout (trend-following) — preferred on trending markets
Setup: Price consolidates near or below R1 and then closes above R1 with above-average volume. Chart: 30m/1H (Weekly VWAP) or Daily (Monthly VWAP) depending on your timeframe.
Entry: Enter long at the close of the breakout bar that closes above R1.
Stop-loss: Place initial stop below the higher of (VWAP or recent swing low). Example: if price broke R1 at ₹1,200 and VWAP = ₹1,150, set stop at ₹1,145 (5 rupee buffer below VWAP) or below the last swing low if that is wider.
Target: Partial target at R2, full target at R3. Trail stop to VWAP or to R1 after price reaches R2.
Example numeric: Weekly VWAP = ₹1,150, R1 = ₹1,200, R2 = ₹1,260. Buy at ₹1,205 (close above R1), stop ₹1,145, target1 ₹1,260 (R2), target2 ₹1,320 (R3).
B. Mean-reversion fade near bands — for range-bound markets
Setup: Market is not trending (VWAP flatish). Price rallies up to R2 or R3 and shows rejection (pin bar, bearish engulfing) on increasing or neutral volume.
Entry: Enter short after a confirmed rejection candle that fails to sustain above R2 or R3 (prefer confirmation: close back below R1 or below the rejection candle low).
Stop-loss: Just above the recent high (e.g., 1–2 ATR or a fixed buffer above R2/R3).
Target: First target VWAP, second target S1. Reduce size if taking R3 fade as it’s an extreme.
Example numeric: VWAP = ₹950, R2 = ₹1,020. Price spikes to ₹1,025 and forms a bearish engulfing candle. Enter short at ₹1,015 after the next close below ₹1,020. Stop at ₹1,035, target VWAP ₹950.
C. Pullback entries in trending markets — higher probability
Setup: Price is above VWAP and trending higher (higher highs and higher lows). Price pulls back toward VWAP or S1 with decreasing downside volume and a reversal candle forms.
Entry: Long when price forms a bullish reversal (hammer/inside-bar) with a close back above the pullback candle.
Stop-loss: Below the pullback low (or below S2 if a larger stop is justified).
Target: VWAP then R1; if momentum resumes, trail toward R2/R3.
Example numeric: Price trending above Weekly VWAP at ₹1,400; pullback to S1 at ₹1,360. Enter long at ₹1,370 when a bullish candle closes; stop at ₹1,350; first target VWAP ₹1,400, second target R1 ₹1,450.
Exit rules and money management
Basic exit hierarchy
Hard stop exit — when price hits initial stop-loss. Always use.
Target exit — take partial profits at R1/R2 (for longs) or S1/S2 (for shorts). Use trailing stops for the remainder.
VWAP invalidation — if you entered long above VWAP and price returns and closes significantly below VWAP, consider exiting (condition depends on timeframe and trade size).
Price action exit — reversal patterns (strong opposite candle, bearish/bullish engulfing) near targets or beyond signals to exit.
Trailing rules
After price reaches R2, move stop to breakeven + a small buffer or to VWAP.
After price reaches R3, trail by 1 ATR or lock a defined profit percentage.
Position sizing & risk
Risk per trade: commonly 0.5–2% of account equity.
Determine position size by RiskAmount ÷ (EntryPrice − StopPrice).
If the stop distance is large (e.g., trading R3 fades), reduce position size.
Filters & confirmation (to reduce false signals)
Volume filter: For breakouts, require volume above short-term average (e.g., >20-period average). Breakouts on low volume are suspect.
Trend filter: Only take breakouts in the direction of the higher-timeframe trend (for example, use Daily/Weekly trend when trading 30m/1H).
Candle confirmation: Prefer entries on close of the confirming candle (not intrabar noise).
Multiple confirmations: When R1 break happens but RSI/plotted momentum indicator does not confirm, treat signal as lower probability.
Special considerations for timeframe-aware logic
On 30m/1H the script uses Weekly VWAP/bands. That means band levels change only on weekly candles — they are strong, structural levels. Treat R1/R2/R3 as significant and expect fewer, stronger signals.
On Daily, the script uses Monthly VWAP/bands. These are wider; trades should allow larger stops and smaller position sizes (or be used for swing trades).
On other intraday charts you get session VWAP (useful for intraday scalps).
Example: If you trade 1H and the Weekly R1 is at ₹2,400 while session VWAP is ₹2,350, a close above Weekly R1 represents a weekly-level breakout — prefer that for swing entries rather than scalps.
Example trade walkthrough (step-by-step)
Context: 1H chart, auto-mapped → Weekly VWAP used.
Weekly VWAP = ₹3,000; R1 = ₹3,080; R2 = ₹3,150.
Price consolidates below R1. A large bullish candle closes at ₹3,085 with volume 40% above the 20-bar average.
Entry: Buy at close ₹3,085.
Stop: Place stop at ₹2,995 (just under Weekly VWAP). Risk = ₹90.
Position size: If risking ₹900 per trade → size = 900 ÷ 90 = 10 units.
Targets: Partial take-profit at R2 = ₹3,150; rest trailed with stop moved to breakeven after R2 is hit.
If price reverses and closes below VWAP within two bars, exit immediately to limit drawdown.
When to avoid trading these signals
High-impact news (earnings, macro announcements) that can gap through bands unpredictably.
Thin markets with low volume — VWAP loses significance when volumes are extremely low.
When weekly/monthly bands are flat but intraday price is volatile without clear structure — prefer session VWAP on smaller timeframes.
Alerts & automation suggestions
Alert on close above R1 / below S1 (use the built-in alertcondition the script adds). For higher-confidence alerts, require volume filter in the alert condition.
Automated order rules (if you automate): use limit entry at breakout close plus a small slippage buffer, immediate stop order, and OCO for TP and SL.
Systemic Net Liquidity (Macro Fuel for Crypto & Stocks)This indicator tracks Systemic Net Liquidity, the single most important macro factor for determining the long-term trend of risk assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and major indices (S&P 500). It measures the amount of actual cash available in the financial system to chase speculative assets, distinguishing between money that is circulating and money that is locked up at the Federal Reserve.
Mechanism (What It Measures)
The script uses direct data from the FRED (Federal Reserve Economic Data) to calculate the true state of market funding:
\text{Net Liquidity} = \text{Fed Assets (WALCL)} - \text{Treasury General Account (TGA)} - \text{Reverse Repo (RRP)}
1. Fed Assets (WALCL): The total balance sheet of the Fed (The overall supply of money).
2. Treasury General Account (TGA): Funds the US Treasury collects via bond issuance. When the TGA rises, liquidity is actively drained from the banking system (A major bearish pressure).
3. Overnight Reverse Repo (RRP): Cash parked by banks and money market funds at the Fed, effectively frozen and not contributing to market activity.
How to Interpret Signals
Treat the Net Liquidity line as the market's "Fuel Gauge":
📈 BULLISH SIGNAL (Liquidity Injection): When the Net Liquidity line is rising, money is flowing back into the system, signalling a tailwind for risk assets.
📉 BEARISH SIGNAL (Liquidity Drain): When the line is falling (often due to high TGA balances), cash is being removed. This signals major friction and pressure on price action.
⚠️ DIVERGENCE WARNING: A strong signal is generated when Price (e.g., BTC) rises, but Net Liquidity falls. This macro divergence strongly suggests a major trend reversal or correction is imminent.
Important Notes
Data Source: Data is directly sourced from FRED and updates daily/weekly. This tool is best used for macro analysis and identifying high-level cycles, not short-term scalping.
Disclaimer: Use this indicator as a confirmation tool within your broader strategy. It is not a standalone trading signal.

Smart RSI Money Flow - Core Bands V1.01SMART RSI – Money Flow Bands (Technical Overview)
1. Background: RSI and Its Behavior on Lower Timeframes
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) originally is a momentum oscillator calculated from average gains and losses over a selected period. In its standard form, RSI is derived solely from price changes; it does not incorporate volume data or order-flow information in its formula.
Because RSI is price-based, its interpretation depends strongly on the timeframe:
• On higher timeframes, each bar aggregates more trading activity, and RSI tends to behave more smoothly.
• On lower timeframes (1-hour down to intraday scalping intervals), price fluctuations are quicker, and RSI becomes more sensitive to short-term noise.
This does not imply that RSI becomes invalid, but that its signals on fast charts can be more reactive and may benefit from additional context such as volume behavior or structural information.
2. Purpose of This Indicator
This indicator extends the classical RSI by adding information that RSI does not include:
• Mapping RSI values into price-based bands instead of the 0–100 oscillator space.
• Retrieving lower timeframe volume data and separating it into buy and sell components.
• Comparing the slope (angle) of price movement with the slope of buy and sell volume.
The goal is to provide a structural interpretation of where price sits relative to RSI conditions and how volume is behaving on a lower timeframe.
3. Technical Differences Compared to Classical RSI
A) Classical RSI
• Input: price only (usually close).
• Output: normalized oscillator between 0 and 100.
• Does not incorporate intra-bar volume distribution.
• Does not separate buy/sell volume.
B) SMART RSI – Money Flow Bands
1) RSI-to-Price Mapping
Converts RSI values into upper/lower price bands using recent price extremes.
2) Lower Timeframe Volume Decomposition
Retrieves LTF data and splits each bar’s volume into buy (close>open) and sell (close
