INFLECTION NEXUS - SPAINFLECTION NEXUS - SPA (Shadow Portfolio Adaptive)
Foreword: The Living Algorithm
For decades, technical analysis has been a conversation between a trader and a static chart. We apply our indicators with their fixed-length inputs, and we hope that our rigid tools can somehow capture the essence of a market that is fluid, chaotic, and perpetually evolving. When our tools fail, we are told to "adapt." But what if the tools themselves could learn that lesson? What if our indicators could adapt not just for us, but with us?
This script, INFLECTION NEXUS - SPA, is the realization of that vision. It is an advanced analytical framework built around a revolutionary core: the Shadow Portfolio Adaptive (SPA) Engine . The buy and sell signals you see on the chart are an evolution of the logic from my previous work, "Turning Point." However, this is not a simple combination of two scripts. The SPA engine so fundamentally transforms the nature of the analysis that it creates an entirely new class of indicator. This publication is a showcase of that groundbreaking, self-learning engine.
This system is undeniably complex. When you first load it, the sheer volume of information may feel overwhelming. That is a testament to the depth of its analysis. This guide is designed to be your comprehensive manual, to break down every single component, every color, every number, into simple, understandable concepts. By the end of this document, you will not only master its functions but will also possess a deeper understanding of the market dynamics it is designed to reveal.
Chapter 1: The Paradigm Shift - Why the SPA Engine is a Leap Forward
To grasp the innovation here, we must first deconstruct the severe limitations of traditional "adaptive" indicators.
Part A: The Traditional Model - Driving by the Rear-View Mirror
Conventional "adaptive" systems are fundamentally reactive. They operate on a slow, inefficient loop: they wait for their own specific, biased signal to fire, wait for that trade to close, and only after a long and statistically significant "warm-up" period of 50-100 trades do they finally make a small, retrospective adjustment. They are always adapting to a market that no longer exists.
Part B: The SPA Model - The Proactive Co-Pilot
The Shadow Portfolio Adaptive (SPA) engine is a complete re-imagining of this process. It is not reactive; it is proactive, data-saturated, and instantly aware.
Continuous, Unbiased Learning: The SPA engine does not wait for a signal to learn. Its Shadow Portfolio is constantly running 5-bar long and short trades in the background. It learns from every single 5-bar slice of market action , giving it a continuous, unbiased stream of performance data. It is the difference between reading a textbook chapter and having a live sparring partner in the ring 24/7.
Instantaneous Market Awareness - The End of the "Warm-Up": This is the critical innovation. The SPA engine does not require a 100-trade warm-up period. The learning does not start after 50 trades; it begins on the 6th bar of the chart when the first shadow trade closes. From that moment on, the system is market-aware, analyzing data, and capable of making intelligent adjustments. The SPA engine is not adapting to old wins and losses. It is adapting, in near real-time, to the market's ever-shifting character, volatility, and personality.
Chapter 2: The Anatomy of the SPA Engine - A Granular Deep Dive
The engine is composed of three primary systems that work in a sophisticated, interconnected symphony.
Section 1: The Shadow Portfolio (The Information Harvester)
What it is, Simply: Think of this as the script's eyes and ears. It's a team of 10 virtual traders (5 long, 5 short) who are constantly taking small, quick trades to feel out the market.
How it Works, Simply: On every new bar, a new "long" trader and a new "short" trader enter the market. Exactly 5 bars later, they close their positions. This cycle is perpetual and relentless.
The Critical 'Why': Because these virtual traders enter and exit based on a fixed time (5 bars), not on a "good" or "bad" signal, their results are completely unbiased . They are simply measuring: "What happened to price over the last 5 bars?" This provides the raw, untainted truth about the market's behavior that the rest of the system needs to learn effectively.
The Golden Metric (ATR Normalization): The engine doesn't just look at dollar P&L. It's smarter than that. It asks a more intelligent question: "How much did this trade make relative to the current volatility?"
Analogy: Imagine a flea and an elephant. If they both jump 1 inch, who is more impressive? The flea. The SPA engine understands this. A $10 profit when the market is dead quiet is far more significant than a $10 profit during a wild, volatile swing.
The Formula: realized_atr = (close - trade.entry) / trade.atr_entry. It takes the raw profit and divides it by the Average True Range (a measure of volatility) at the moment of entry. This gives a pure, "apples-to-apples" score for every single trade, which is the foundational data point for all learning.
Section 2: The Cognitive Map (The Long-Term Brain)
What it is, Simply: This is the engine's deep memory, its library of experiences. Imagine a giant, 64-square chessboard (8x8 grid). Each square on the board represents a very specific type of market environment.
The Two Dimensions of Thought (The 'How'): How does it know which square we are on? It looks at two things:
The Market's Personality (X-Axis): Is the market behaving like a disciplined soldier, marching in a clear trend? Or is it like a chaotic, unpredictable child, running all over the place? The engine calculates a "Regime" score to figure this out.
The Market's Energy Level (Y-Axis): Is the market sleepy and quiet, or is it wide-awake and hyperactive? The engine measures "Normalized Volatility" to determine this.
The Power of Generalization (The 'Why'): When a Shadow Portfolio trade closes, its result is recorded in the corresponding square on the chessboard. But here's the clever part: it also shares a little bit of that lesson with the squares immediately next to it (using a Gaussian Kernel).
Analogy: If you touch a hot stove and learn "don't touch," your brain is smart enough to know you probably shouldn't touch the hot oven door next to it either, even if you haven't touched it directly. The Cognitive Map does the same thing, allowing it to make intelligent inferences even in market conditions it has seen less frequently. Each square remembers what indicator settings worked best in that specific environment.
Section 3: The Adaptive Engine (The Central Nervous System)
What it is, Simply: This is the conductor of the orchestra. It takes information from all other parts of the system and decides exactly what to do.
The Symphony of Inputs: It listens to three distinct sources of information before making a decision:
The Short-Term Memory (Rolling Stats): It looks at the performance of the last rollN shadow trades. This is its immediate, recent experience.
The Long-Term Wisdom (Cognitive Map): It consults the grand library of the Cognitive Map to see what has worked best in the current market type over the long haul.
The Gut Instinct (Bin Learning): It keeps a small "mini-batch" of the most recent trades. If this batch shows a very strong, sudden pattern, it can trigger a rapid, reflexive adjustment, like pulling your hand away from a flame.
The Fusion Process: It then blends these three opinions together in a sophisticated way. It gives more weight to the opinions it's more confident in (e.g., a Cognitive Map square with hundreds of trades of experience) and uses your Adaptation Intensity (dialK) input to decide how much to listen to its "gut instinct." The final decision is then smoothed to ensure the indicator's parameters change in a stable, intelligent way.
Chapter 3: The Control Panel - A Novice's Guide to Every Input
This is the most important chapter. Let's break down what these confusing settings actually do in the simplest terms possible.
--- SECTION 1: THE DRIVER'S SEAT (SIGNAL ENGINE & BASE SETTINGS) ---
🧾 Signal Engine (Turning Point):
What it is: These are the rules for the final BUY and SELL signs.
Think of it like this: The SPA engine is the smart robot that tunes your race car. These settings are you, the driver, telling the robot what kind of race you're in.
Enable Reversal Mode: You tell the robot, "I want to race on a curvy track with lots of turns." The robot will tune the car to be agile for catching tops and bottoms.
Enable Breakout Mode: You tell the robot, "I want to race on a long, straight track." The robot will tune the car for pure speed to follow the trend.
Require New Extreme: This is a quality filter. It tells the driver, "Don't look for a turn unless we've just hit a new top speed on the straightaway." It makes sure the reversal is from a real extreme.
Min Bars Between Signals: This is the "pit stop" rule. You're telling the robot, "After you show me a sign, wait at least 10 bars before showing another one, so I don't get confused."
⚡ ATR Bands (Base Inputs):
What they are: These are the starting settings for your car before the robot starts tuning it. These are your factory defaults.
Sensitivity: This is the "Bump Detector." A low number means the car feels every tiny pebble on the road. A high number means it only notices the big speed bumps. You want to set it so it notices the important bumps (real market structure) but ignores the pebbles (noise).
ATR Period & Multiplier: These set the starting size of the "safety lane" (the green and blue bands) around your car. The robot's main job is to constantly adjust the size of this safety lane to perfectly fit the current road conditions.
📊 & 📈 Filter Settings (RSI & Volume):
What they are: These are your co-pilot's confirmation checks.
Enable RSI Filter: Your co-pilot will check the "Engine Temperature" (RSI). He won't let you hit the gas (BUY) if the engine is already overheating (overbought).
RSI Length & Lookbacks: These tune how your co-pilot's temperature gauge works. The defaults are standard.
Require Volume Spike: Your co-pilot will check the "Crowd Noise" (Volume). He won't give you a signal unless he hears the crowd roar, confirming that a lot of people are interested in this move.
🎯 Signal Quality Control:
Enable Major Levels Only: This tells your co-pilot to be extra picky. He will only confirm signals that happen after a huge, powerful move, ignoring all the small stuff.
--- SECTION 2: THE ROBOT'S BRAIN (ENGINE & LEARNING CONTROLS) ---
🎛️ Master Control:
Adaptation Intensity (dialK): THIS IS THE ROBOT'S PERSONALITY DIAL.
Turn it DOWN (1-5): The robot becomes a "Wise Old Professor." It thinks very slowly and carefully, gathers lots of data, and only makes a change when it is 100% sure. Its advice is very reliable but might come a little late.
Turn it UP (15-20): The robot becomes a "Hyper-Reactive Teenager." It has a short attention span, reacts instantly to everything it sees, and changes its mind constantly. It's super-fast to new information but might get faked out a lot.
The Default (10): A "Skilled Professional." The perfect balance of thoughtful and responsive. Start here.
🧠 Adaptive Engine:
Enable Adaptive System: This is the main power button for your robot. Turn it off, and you're driving a normal, non-smart car. Turn it on, and the robot takes over the tuning.
Use Shadow Cycle: This turns on the robot's "practice laps." The robot can't learn without practicing. This must be on for the robot to work.
Lock ATR Bands: This is a visual choice. "Locked" means the safety lanes on your screen stay where your factory defaults put them (the robot still makes changes to the signals in the background). "Unlocked" means you see the safety lanes moving and changing shape in real-time as the robot tunes them.
🎯 Learning (Global + Risk):
What they are: These are the deep-level settings for how your robot's brain processes information.
Rolling Window Size: This is the robot's "Short-Term Memory." How many of the last few practice laps should it remember? A small number means it only cares about what just happened. A big number means it remembers the last hour of practice.
Learn Rate & Smooth Alpha: This is "How big of a change should the robot make?" and "How smoothly should it make the change?" Think of it as turning the steering wheel. A high learn rate is like yanking the wheel; a low one is like a gentle turn. The smoothing makes sure the turn is graceful.
WinRate Thresholds & PnL Cap: These are rules for the robot's learning. They tell it what a "good" or "bad" outcome looks like and tell it to ignore crazy, once-in-a-lifetime events so its memory doesn't get corrupted.
--- SECTION 3: THE GARAGE (RISK, MEMORY & VISUALS) ---
⚠️ Risk Management:
What they are: These are safety rules you can give to your co-pilot for your own awareness. They appear on the dashboard.
The settings: You can set a max number of trades, a max loss for the day, and a "time out" period after a few losses.
Apply Risk to Shadow: This is an important switch. If you turn this ON, your safety rules also apply to the robot's practice laps. If you hit your max loss, the robot stops practicing and learning. It's recommended to leave this OFF so the robot can learn 24/7, even if you have stopped trading.
🗺️ Cognitive Map, STM & Checkpoints:
What it is: The robot's "Long-Term Memory" or its entire library of racing experience.
Use Cognitive Map & STM: These switches turn on the long-term and short-term memory banks. You want these on for the smartest robot.
Map Settings (Grid, Sigma, Half-Life): These are very advanced settings for neuroscientists. They control how the robot's brain is structured and how it forgets old information. The defaults are expertly tuned.
The Checkpoint System: This is the "Save Your Game" button for the robot.
To Save: Check Emit Checkpoint Now. Go to your alert log, and you will see a very long password. Copy this password.
To Load: Paste that password into the Memory Checkpoint box. Then, check Apply Checkpoint On Next Bar. The robot will instantly download all of its saved memories and experience.
🎨 Visuals & 🧩 Display Params:
What they are: These are all about how your screen looks.
You can control everything: The size and shape of the little diamonds (Entry Orbs), whether you see the purple Adapt Pulse, and where the Dashboards appear on your screen. You can change the Theme to Dark, Light, or Neon. These settings don't change how the robot thinks, only how it presents its information to you.
Chapter 4: The Command Center - Decoding the Dashboard
PANEL A (INFLECTION NEXUS): Your high-level mission control, showing the engine's classification of the current Market Context and the performance summary of the Shadow Portfolio.
PANEL B (SHADOW PORTFOLIO ADAPTIVE): Your deep diagnostic screen.
Performance Metrics: View advanced risk-adjusted stats like the Sharpe Ratio to understand the quality of the market movements the engine is learning from.
Adaptive Parameters (Live vs Base): THIS IS THE MOST CRITICAL SECTION. It shows the engine's Live parameters right next to your (Base) inputs. When the Live values deviate, the engine is communicating its learned wisdom to you. For example, a Live ATR Multiplier of 2.5 versus your Base of 1.4 is the engine telling you: "Caution. The market is currently experiencing high fake-outs and requires giving positions more room to breathe." This section is a direct translation of the engine's learning into actionable insight.
Chapter 5: Reading the Canvas - On-Chart Visuals
The Bands (Green/Blue Lines): These are not static Supertrend lines. They are the physical manifestation of the engine's current thinking. As the engine learns and adapts its ATR Period and Multiplier, you will see these bands widen, tighten, and adjust their distance from price. They are alive.
The Labels (BUY/SELL): These are the final output of the "Turning Point" logic, now supercharged and informed by the fully adaptive SPA engine.
The Purple Pulse (Dot and Background Glow): This is your visual cue that the engine is "thinking." Every time you see this pulse, it means the SPA has just completed a learning cycle and updated its parameters. It is actively recalibrating itself to the market.
Chapter 6: A Manifesto on Innovation and Community
I want to conclude with a personal note on why I dedicate countless hours to building systems like this and sharing them openly.
My purpose is to drive innovation, period. I am not in this space to follow the crowd or to re-package old ideas. The world does not need a 100th version of a slightly modified MACD. Real progress, real breakthroughs, come from venturing into the wilderness, from asking "what if?" and from pursuing concepts that lie at the very edge of possibility.
I am not afraid of being wrong. I am not afraid of being bested by my peers. In fact, I welcome it. If another developer takes an idea from this engine, improves it, and builds something even more magnificent, that is a profound win for our entire community. The only failure I recognize is the failure to try. The only trap I fear is the creative complacency of producing sterile, recycled work just to appease the status quo.
I love this community, and I believe with every fiber of my being that we have barely scratched the surface of what can be discovered and created. This script is my contribution to that shared journey. It is a tool, an idea, and a challenge to all of us: let's keep pushing.
DISCLAIMER: This script is an advanced analytical tool provided for educational and research purposes ONLY. It does not constitute financial advice. All trading involves substantial risk of loss. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Please use this tool responsibly and as part of a comprehensive trading plan.
As the great computer scientist Herbert A. Simon, a pioneer of artificial intelligence, famously said:
"Learning is any process by which a system improves performance from experience."

Options Max Pain Calculator [BackQuant]Options Max Pain Calculator
A visualization tool that models option expiry dynamics by calculating "max pain" levels, displaying synthetic open interest curves, gamma exposure profiles, and pin-risk zones to help identify where market makers have the least payout exposure.
What is Max Pain?
Max Pain is the theoretical expiration price where the total dollar value of outstanding options would be minimized. At this price level, option holders collectively experience maximum losses while option writers (typically market makers) have minimal payout obligations. This creates a natural gravitational pull as expiration approaches.
Core Features
Visual Analysis Components:
Max Pain Line: Horizontal line showing the calculated minimum pain level
Strike Level Grid: Major support and resistance levels at key option strikes
Pin Zone: Highlighted area around max pain where price may gravitate
Pain Heatmap: Color-coded visualization showing pain distribution across prices
Gamma Exposure Profile: Bar chart displaying net gamma at each strike level
Real-time Dashboard: Summary statistics and risk metrics
Synthetic Market Modeling**
Since Pine Script cannot access live options data, the indicator creates realistic synthetic open interest distributions based on configurable market parameters including volume patterns, put/call ratios, and market maker positioning.
How It Works
Strike Generation:
The tool creates a grid of option strikes centered around the current price. You can control the range, density, and whether strikes snap to realistic market increments.
Open Interest Modeling:
Using your inputs for average volume, put/call ratios, and market maker behavior, the indicator generates synthetic open interest that mirrors real market dynamics:
Higher volume at-the-money with decay as strikes move further out
Adjustable put/call bias to reflect current market sentiment
Market maker inventory effects and typical short-gamma positioning
Weekly options boost for near-term expirations
Pain Calculation:
For each potential expiry price, the tool calculates total option payouts:
Call options contribute pain when finishing in-the-money
Put options contribute pain when finishing in-the-money
The strike with minimum total pain becomes the Max Pain level
Gamma Analysis:
Net gamma exposure is calculated at each strike using standard option pricing models, showing where hedging flows may be most intense. Positive gamma creates price support while negative gamma can amplify moves.
Key Settings
Basic Configuration:
Number of Strikes: Controls grid density (recommended: 15-25)
Days to Expiration: Time until option expiry
Strike Range: Price range around current level (recommended: 8-15%)
Strike Increment: Spacing between strikes
Market Parameters:
Average Daily Volume: Baseline for synthetic open interest
Put/Call Volume Ratio: Market sentiment bias (>1.0 = bearish, <1.0 = bullish) It does not work if set to 1.0
Implied Volatility: Current option volatility estimate
Market Maker Factors: Dealer positioning and hedging intensity
Display Options:
Model Complexity: Simple (line only), Standard (+ zones), Advanced (+ heatmap/gamma)
Visual Elements: Toggle individual components on/off
Theme: Dark/Light mode
Update Frequency: Real-time or daily calculation
Reading the Display
Dashboard Table (Top Right):
Current Price vs Max Pain Level
Distance to Pain: Percentage gap (smaller = higher pin risk)
Pin Risk Assessment: HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW based on proximity and time
Days to Expiry and Strike Count
Model complexity level
Visual Elements:
Red Line: Max Pain level where payout is minimized
Colored Zone: Pin risk area around max pain
Dotted Lines: Major strike levels (green = support, orange = resistance)
Color Bar: Pain heatmap (blue = high pain, red = low pain/max pain zones)
Horizontal Bars: Gamma exposure (green = positive, red = negative)
Yellow Dotted Line: Gamma flip level where hedging behavior changes
Trading Applications
Expiration Pinning:
When price is near max pain with limited time remaining, there's increased probability of gravitating toward that level as market makers hedge their positions.
Support and Resistance:
High open interest strikes often act as magnets, with max pain representing the strongest gravitational pull.
Volatility Expectations:
Above gamma flip: Expect dampened volatility (long gamma environment)
Below gamma flip: Expect amplified moves (short gamma environment)
Risk Assessment:
The pin risk indicator helps gauge likelihood of price manipulation near expiry, with HIGH risk suggesting potential range-bound action.
Best Practices
Setup Recommendations
Start with Model Complexity set to "Standard"
Use realistic strike ranges (8-12% for most assets)
Set put/call ratio based on current market sentiment
Adjust implied volatility to match current levels
Interpretation Guidelines:
Small distance to pain + short time = high pin probability
Large gamma bars indicate key hedging levels to monitor
Heatmap intensity shows strength of pain concentration
Multiple nearby strikes can create wider pin zones
Update Strategy:
Use "Daily" updates for cleaner visuals during trading hours
Switch to "Every Bar" for real-time analysis near expiration
Monitor changes in max pain level as new options activity emerges
Important Disclaimers
This is a modeling tool using synthetic data, not live market information. While the calculations are mathematically sound and the modeling realistic, actual market dynamics involve numerous factors not captured in any single indicator.
Max pain represents theoretical minimum payout levels and suggests where natural market forces may create gravitational pull, but it does not guarantee price movement or predict exact expiration levels. Market gaps, news events, and changing volatility can override these dynamics.
Use this tool as additional context for your analysis, not as a standalone trading signal. The synthetic nature of the data makes it most valuable for understanding market structure and potential zones of interest rather than precise price prediction.
Technical Notes
The indicator uses established option pricing principles with simplified implementations optimized for Pine Script performance. Gamma calculations use standard financial models while pain calculations follow the industry-standard definition of minimized option payouts.
All visual elements use fixed positioning to prevent movement when scrolling charts, and the tool includes performance optimizations to handle real-time calculation without timeout errors.
BOCS Adaptive🚀 BOCS Adaptive - Advanced Dynamic Volatility Breakout Channel System
Enhanced version of AlgoAlpha's Smart Money Breakout Channels with adaptive ATR-based risk management for professional-grade trading signals.
📜 CREDITS & ATTRIBUTION:
This indicator is based on the original "Smart Money Breakout Channels" by AlgoAlpha (). Full credit goes to AlgoAlpha for the innovative breakout channel detection methodology. This enhanced version adds adaptive ATR-based TP/SL functionality and advanced volume analysis features.
🔬 THE BOCS METHODOLOGY EXPLAINED:
What is BOCS?
BOCS (Breakout Channel System) is AlgoAlpha's sophisticated algorithm that identifies high-probability breakout opportunities by analyzing normalized price volatility patterns. Unlike traditional support/resistance methods, BOCS uses mathematical normalization to detect when markets are consolidating before explosive moves.
📊 HOW THE CHANNEL DETECTION WORKS (Original AlgoAlpha Method):
Step 1: Price Normalization
Calculates the highest high and lowest low over a specified period (default 100 bars)
Normalizes current price position within this range: (close - lowest) / (highest - lowest)
This creates a 0-1 scale that works across all markets and timeframes
Step 2: Volatility Analysis
Applies standard deviation to the normalized price over 14 periods
Identifies volatility peaks and troughs using specialized algorithms
Tracks volatility cycles to predict consolidation phases
Step 3: Channel Formation
Detects when volatility crosses from high to low (consolidation begins)
Creates dynamic channels using the highest/lowest points during consolidation
Channels automatically expand/contract based on price action
Minimum 10-bar duration ensures meaningful consolidation patterns
Step 4: Breakout Detection
Strong Closes Mode: Requires >50% of candle body outside channel (reduces false signals from wicks)
Any Touch Mode: Triggers on any price movement outside channel boundaries
Volume confirmation analysis validates breakout strength
🆕 ENHANCED FEATURES (This Version):
⚡ Adaptive ATR Risk Management:
Revolutionary Volatility-Based TP/SL System:
Traditional fixed pip/tick stops don't account for changing market conditions. This enhanced version adds ATR (Average True Range) multipliers to create dynamic TP/SL levels that automatically adjust to current volatility.
ATR Calculation Process:
Select any timeframe for ATR source (1min, 5min, 15min, etc.)
Uses customizable period length (default 14) for smoothing
Calculates: TP Distance = ATR × Multiplier
Updates continuously as market volatility changes
Example Setup:
Chart: 5-minute NQ futures
ATR Source: 1-minute timeframe
Current 1min ATR: 4.36 points
TP1 Multiplier: 2.0 → TP1 = 8.72 points from entry
TP2 Multiplier: 3.5 → TP2 = 15.26 points from entry
SL Multiplier: 1.0 → SL = 4.36 points from entry

StdDev Supertrend {CHIPA}StdDev Supertrend ~ C H I P A is a supertrend style trend engine that replaces ATR with standard deviation as the volatility core. It can operate on raw prices or log return volatility, with optional smoothing to control noise.
Key features include:
Supertrend trailing rails built from a stddev scaled envelope that flips the regime only when price closes through the opposite rail.
Returns-based mode that scales volatility by log returns for more consistent behavior across price regimes.
Optional smoothing on the volatility input to tune responsiveness versus stability.
Directional gap fill between price and the active trend line on the main chart; opacity adapts to the distance (vs ATR) so wide gaps read stronger and small gaps stay subtle.
Secondary pane view of the rails with the same adaptive fade, plus an optional candle overlay for context.
Clean alerts that fire once when state changes
Use cases: medium-term trend following, stop/flip systems, and visual regime confirmation when you prefer stddev-based distance over ATR.
Note: no walk-forward or robustness testing is implied; parameter choices and risk controls are on you.
Kaspareit VCP + TTM Squeeze ProKaspareit VCP + TTM Squeeze Pro
A combined tool for identifying volatility contractions and breakout setups. The VCP module (Volatility Contraction Pattern) detects contraction phases under trend filters, while the TTM Squeeze module evaluates compression via Bollinger Bands vs. Keltner Channels and adds a momentum oscillator. The result: clearly marked setup phases, pivot zones, and breakout signals.
What the indicator does
Detects potential VCP setups through falling ATR/True Range relative to the recent minimum, combined with a 3-step EMA trend filter.
Fixes a pivot zone above price to act as breakout reference.
Classifies TTM Squeeze compression levels in 4 colors and checks momentum.
Plots VCP potential (yellow dots), active breakouts (green dots), EMAs, pivot level, momentum histogram, and squeeze status.
Logic explained (simplified)
EMA trend filter (3-step): Close must be above EMA 50/100/200, and EMAs must be properly aligned. Only then VCP signals are valid.
VCP contraction: Current ATR compared to the lowest ATR over VCP period with tolerance factor. If volatility is sufficiently low, contraction is valid.
VCP timer: After a valid VCP, a window ( Max days after VCP ) remains active for breakout evaluation.
Pivot zone: Highest high of last Pivot lookback bars is fixed as Pivot level (red line).
Squeeze classification: Bollinger Band width vs. Keltner Channels gives 4 states: Green = no squeeze, Black = low, Red = mid, Orange = high.
Momentum: Regression-based oscillator evaluates directional impulse relative to smoothed price range.
Breakout: Valid if within active VCP window, close > pivot, EMA filter true, squeeze green, volume > previous bar, momentum > 0. Then Breakout active is marked.
Exit logic: Breakout state ends if volume < short-term average and True Range < short-term average.
Visualization & legend
EMA Short/Mid/Long: 3 lines for trend filter.
Pivot level: Red line, breakout threshold.
VCP potential: Yellow dots below candles when VCP criteria + (Momentum < 0 or Squeeze ≠ green).
Breakout active: Green dots below candles while breakout conditions hold.
Momentum histogram: Columns above chart edge if momentum > 0.
Squeeze status: Colored dots at 0-line: Orange = high, Red = mid, Black = low, Green = no squeeze.
Inputs (settings) and meaning
VCP inputs
VCP period (default 30): Window to detect ATR minimum. Larger = stricter, fewer signals.
Pivot resistance (lookback) (default 10): Bars used to fix pivot high. Lower = earlier, more sensitive levels.
Volatility tolerance (default 1.1): Factor above ATR minimum still considered “contraction.” Lower = stricter.
Volume comparison (Exit) (default 5): Length of average volume for breakout exit.
True Range comparison (Exit) (default 5): Length of TR average for breakout exit.
Max days after VCP (default 50): Time window for breakout after VCP.
EMA short/mid/long (default 50/100/200): Trend filter. Longer = smoother, fewer signals.
TTM Squeeze inputs
TTM Squeeze length (default 20): Base length for BB/KC.
Bollinger Band STD Multiplier (default 2.0): Width of BB. Higher = wider, fewer squeezes.
Keltner Channel #1/#2/#3 (default 1.5/2.0/3.0): Channel widths for low/mid/high squeeze classification.
Practical usage
Setup phase: Watch for aligned EMAs with price above all EMAs. Yellow dots = VCP potential, especially valuable if squeeze is red/orange.
Pivot observation: Red pivot level = breakout threshold.
Breakout trigger: Close above pivot, squeeze green, positive momentum, volume > previous bar → Breakout active .
Monitoring: Breakout state ends if volume and TR fall below short-term averages. This is a signal of weakening momentum , not an order exit rule.
Timeframes & markets: Works on all TFs with reliable data. Daily and H4 work well for trending stocks. For FX/CFDs, volume is tick volume.
Important notes & limitations
This is an indicator , not a strategy. It does not place orders or backtest results.
Pivot level and VCP state recalculate per bar. Pivot may move if new highs form.
Momentum histogram is scaled relative to recent range, not comparable across markets.
Squeeze colors are state labels, not trade signals. Always combine with trend filter.
No alerts included. You may add alertcondition if needed. Logic provides clear states (VCP potential, breakout active, squeeze status).
Tuning tips
See more contractions: Lower TTM length (e.g. 14–18), increase BB Mult slightly, or reduce KC Mult .
Stricter filter: Increase VCP period , lower Volatility tolerance , use longer EMAs.
Earlier breakouts: Reduce Pivot lookback , but risk more false signals.

Jaxon007 Trend Cloud StrategyThe Jaxon007 Trend Cloud Strategy is a trend-following trading system that combines custom moving averages with ATR-based volatility zones to generate high-quality entries and exits. It is designed for traders who want to visualize trend strength and participate in retests during strong directional moves.
🔍 How It Works:
Trend Direction is determined by comparing a fast and slow moving average.
The selected moving average is adjusted using the Average True Range (ATR) to create dynamic volatility bands.
When price crosses above the adjusted band in an uptrend, it triggers a long entry.
When price crosses below the band in a downtrend, it triggers a short entry.
Exits occur when the trend reverses or when price crosses the band in the opposite direction.
⚙ Customizable Parameters:
MA Length – base moving average period.
MA Type – choose from SMA, EMA, SMMA (RMA), WMA, or VWMA.
ATR Length – fixed at 200 (can be made adjustable if needed).
Cloud Colors – customizable for uptrend and downtrend visuals.
Visual Features:
Trend Cloud formed between the base MA and ATR-adjusted band.
Buy/Sell Labels appear at valid entry points.
Clear color-coded lines for quick trend recognition.

Stiffness IndexStiffness Index Indicator
Overview
The Stiffness Index is a technical analysis indicator created by Markos Katsanos and first introduced in the November 2018 issue of Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities magazine. This indicator attempts to recognize strong price trends by counting the number of times price was above the 100-day moving average during the indicator period.
Core Philosophy
The premise is the fewer number of times price penetrates the MA, the stronger the trend. The philosophy behind this indicator is that traders should trade when the trend is at its strongest point - when the trend is at its "stiffest". Based on the observation that in strong long-lasting uptrends, price seldom penetrates the 100-bar simple moving average, this indicator helps assess the quality and strength of an uptrend.
How It Works
The Stiffness Index operates through several key components:
1. Moving Average Baseline: Uses a 100-period moving average as the primary reference level
2. Volatility Threshold: Includes a volatility threshold to eliminate minor movements - typically 0.2 standard deviations to reject minimal penetrations above the moving average
3. Counting Mechanism: Calculates the stiffness coefficient as the ratio of the number of times the price has closed above the moving average during the indicator period to the length of that period
4. Smoothing: Applies additional smoothing to the final result for cleaner signals
Key Components
Input Parameters
- Period 1 (100): The moving average period for the baseline calculation
- MA Method 1: Type of moving average for the baseline (SMA, EMA, SMMA, LWMA)
- Summation Period (60): The lookback period for counting closes above the moving average
- Period 2 (3): Smoothing period for the final signal line
- MA Method 2: Smoothing method for the signal line
- Threshold Level (80): Reference level for identifying strong trends
Visual Elements
- Blue Signal Line: The main stiffness reading showing trend strength
- Dotted Line: Adjustable threshold level for reference
Interpretation and Trading Applications
Signal Readings
- High Values (Above Threshold): Indicates a "stiff" trend where price consistently stays above the moving average with minimal penetrations
- Low Values (Below Threshold): Suggests a weaker trend with frequent penetrations of the moving average
- Original threshold levels mentioned in research range from 75-95
Trading Strategy
The original strategy suggests entering long positions when the stiffness reading reaches 90 or higher, with exits when the reading drops below 50. Some implementations use a threshold of 75 for entry confirmation.
Key Characteristics
- Designed primarily for stocks and instruments with upward bias
- Trades infrequently - typically about once per year when using strict parameters
- Best suited for trend-following strategies in strongly trending markets
Advantages
- Trend Quality Assessment: Quantifies the "stiffness" or quality of trends
- Volatility Filtering: Built-in volatility threshold reduces false signals from minor price movements
- Objective Measurement: Provides a numerical assessment of trend strength
- Customizable: Multiple parameters allow adaptation to different markets and timeframes
Best Practices
- Use in conjunction with baseline trend indicators for confirmation
- Most effective in markets with strong directional bias
- Consider the low frequency of signals when developing trading strategies
- May not be suitable for instruments that "twitch up and down" frequently
*Note: This indicator is specifically designed to identify and trade the strongest trending periods, which naturally results in fewer but potentially higher-quality trading opportunities.*

Slingshot TrendSlingshot Trend Indicator Guide
What it does: This TradingView indicator identifies bullish "slingshot" momentum in uptrends. It uses stacked EMAs (21/34/55/89) and a higher-timeframe 89 EMA to confirm trends, then flags the first price breakout above a 4-period EMA of highs (after 3 bars below) as an entry signal.
Key signals:
☑️Entry trigger: Orange shape below bar + yellow entry line/label (at close price) when first slingshot fires in a bullish trend. Bars turn teal.
☑️Target: Green dashed line/label (entry + avg past ATR multiple × 14-period ATR).
☑️Exit: When trend ends (EMAs unstack or price drops below higher-TF 89 EMA); lines vanish.
Dashboard (bottom-right, if enabled):
☑️ATRx: Avg move size (in ATR multiples) for targets.
☑️Win%: % of past targets hit.
☑️AvgTTH: Avg days to target hit.
Tips: Use on higher timeframes (e.g., 1H+). Alert fires on trigger for notifications. Backtest on your assets—win rate tracks historical hits.
Bollinger Bands Momentum IndicatorAdds buy a signal to the ticker when the price closes above the upper Bollinger Band and a sell signal when the price closes below the 20 day SMA.
Multi-Symbol Volatility Tracker with Range DetectionMulti-Symbol Volatility Tracker with Range Detection
🎯 Main Purpose:
This indicator is specifically designed for scalpers to quickly identify symbols with high volatility that are currently in ranging conditions . It helps you spot the perfect opportunities for buying at lows and selling at highs repeatedly within the same trading session.
📊 Table Data Explanation:
The indicator displays a comprehensive table with 5 columns for 4 major symbols (GOLD, SILVER, NASDAQ, SP500):
SYMBOL: The trading instrument being analyzed
VOLATILITY: Color-coded volatility levels (NORMAL/HIGH/EXTREME) based on ATR values
Last Candle %: The percentage range of the most recent 5-minute candle
Last 5 Candle Avg %: Average percentage range over the last 5 candles
RANGE: Shows "YES" (blue) or "NO" (gray) indicating if the symbol is currently ranging
🔍 How to Identify Trading Opportunities:
Look for symbols that combine these characteristics:
RANGE column shows "YES" (highlighted in blue) - This means the symbol is moving sideways, perfect for range trading
VOLATILITY shows "HIGH" or "EXTREME" - Ensures there's enough movement for profitable scalping
Higher candlestick percentages - Indicates larger candle ranges, meaning more profit potential per trade
⚡ Optimal Usage:
Best Timeframe: Works optimally on 5-minute charts where the ranging patterns are most reliable for scalping
Trading Strategy: When you find a symbol with "YES" in the RANGE column, switch to that symbol and look for opportunities to buy near the lows and sell near the highs of the ranging pattern
Risk Management: Higher volatility symbols offer more profit potential but require tighter risk management
⚙️ Settings:
ATR Length: Adjusts the Average True Range calculation period (default: 14)
Range Sensitivity: Fine-tune range detection sensitivity (0.1-2.0, lower = more sensitive)
💡 Pro Tips:
The indicator updates in real-time, so monitor for symbols switching from "NO" to "YES" in the RANGE column
Combine HIGH/EXTREME volatility with RANGE: YES for the most profitable scalping setups
Use the candlestick percentages to gauge potential profit per trade - higher percentages mean more movement
The algorithm uses advanced statistical analysis including standard deviation, linear regression slopes, and range efficiency to accurately detect ranging conditions
Perfect for day traders and scalpers who want to quickly identify which symbols offer the best ranging opportunities for consistent buy-low, sell-high strategies.
Price Distance from SMA (Std Dev)This indicator shows the standard deviation move (+/-) away from the designated Simple Moving Average of the users choice. The 20-period SMA is the default, but the user can change it to whatever they like.
Irrationality Index by CRYPTO_ADA_BTC"The market can be irrational longer than you can stay solvent" ~ John Maynard Keynes
This indicator, the Irrationality Index, measures how far the current market price has deviated from a smoothed estimate of its "fair value," normalized for recent volatility. It provides traders with a visual sense of when the market may be behaving irrationally, without giving direct buy or sell signals.
How it works:
1. Fair Value Calculation
The indicator estimates a "fair value" for the asset using a combination of a long-term EMA (exponential moving average) and a linear regression trend over a configurable period. This fair value serves as a smoothed baseline for price, balancing trend-following and mean-reversion.
2. Volatility-Adjusted Z-Score
The deviation between price and fair value is measured in standard deviations of recent log returns:
Z = (log(price) - log(fairValue)) / volatility
This standardization accounts for different volatility environments, allowing comparison across assets.
3. Irrationality Score (0–100)
The Z-score is transformed using a logistic mapping into a 0–100 scale:
- 50 → price near fair value (rational zone)
- >75 → high irrationality, price stretched above fair value
- >90 → extreme irrationality, unsustainable extremes
- <25 → high irrationality, price stretched below fair value
- <10 → extreme bearish irrationality
4. Price vs Fair Value (% deviation)
The indicator plots the percentage difference between price and fair value:
pctDiff = (price - fairValue) / fairValue * 100
- Positive values → Percentage above fair value (optimistic / overvalued)
- Negative values → Percentage below fair value (pessimistic / undervalued)
Visuals:
- Irrationality (%) Line (0–100) shows irrationality level.
- Background Colors: Yellow= high bullish irrationality, Green= extreme bullish irrationality, Orange= high bearish irrationality, Red= extreme bearish irrationality.
- Price - FairValue (%) plot: price deviation vs fair value (%), Colored green above 0 and red below 0.
- Label: display actual price, estimated fair value, and Z-score for the latest bar.
- Alerts: configurable thresholds for high and extreme irrationality.
How to read it:
- 50 → Market trading near fair value.
- >75 / >90 → Price may be irrationally high; risk of pullback increases.
- <25 / <10 → Price may be irrationally low; potential rebound zones, but trends can continue.
- Price - FairValue (%) plot → visual guide for % price stretch relative to fair value.
Notes / Warnings:
- Measures relative deviation, not fundamental value!
- High irrationality scores do not automatically indicate trades; markets can remain can be irrational longer than you can stay solvent .
- Best used with other tools: momentum, volume, divergence, and multi-timeframe analysis.
Bollinger Band Oscillator v2 (Different between lower and upper)📌 Description
Bollinger Band Width Oscillator with MACD-style Histogram
This indicator visualizes the Bollinger Band Width as a slope-colored line and adds a MACD-style histogram to highlight momentum shifts in volatility.
Features
BB Width Line: Measures the distance between the upper and lower Bollinger Bands. The line changes color based on slope:
• Green → expanding width
• Red → contracting width
Signal Line: A moving average of the BB Width for smoother analysis.
MACD-style Histogram: Plots the difference between the BB Width and the Signal line with 4 distinct colors:
• Above 0 & rising → #26A69A
• Above 0 & falling → #B2DFDB
• Below 0 & falling → #FF5252
• Below 0 & rising → #FFCDD2
How to Use
Identify squeeze phases (low width) which often precede strong breakouts.
Use the histogram like MACD momentum to see whether volatility expansion is accelerating or fading.
Combine with trend or price action signals for confirmation and better timing.
NY Anchored VWAP and Auto SMAThis NY Anchored VWAP and Auto SMA script is a powerful combination of two of the most popular technical indicators, designed to help you identify the intraday trend and potential shifts in market momentum. It stands out by automatically adjusting to current volatility, providing more adaptive and reliable signals than standard moving averages.
How It Works
This script combines a New York session-anchored VWAP with a dynamic Simple Moving Average (SMA) that automatically adjusts its length based on market volatility.
New York Anchored VWAP: The VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) resets at the beginning of the New York trading session. This allows it to accurately track the average price paid by traders for the day, providing a key benchmark for identifying whether the price is trading at a premium or a discount relative to the volume-driven trend. The color of the VWAP line itself changes to indicate its slope: green for an upward trend and red for a downward trend.
Auto SMA: The script calculates a Simple Moving Average (SMA) but with a twist. It uses the Average True Range (ATR) to measure market volatility. When volatility is high, the SMA's lookback period automatically shortens to make it more responsive to price changes. Conversely, when volatility is low, the lookback period lengthens to smooth out the data and reduce noise. This dynamic adjustment helps the SMA stay relevant in all market conditions.
Key Features
Adaptive Lookback: The Auto SMA dynamically adjusts to market volatility, providing more responsive signals during volatile periods and smoother, more reliable signals during calm periods.
Color-Coded VWAP: The VWAP line changes color to instantly show the direction of the trend, making it easy to see at a glance if the average price is rising or falling.
Automated Alerts: The script provides automated alerts for when the VWAP crosses above or below the Auto SMA, signaling potential bullish or bearish momentum shifts.
Customizable Settings: You can hide the VWAP on daily or higher timeframes and change the source for the VWAP calculation to suit your specific trading style.
This tool is perfect for intraday and swing traders who want a more intelligent and adaptive way to measure trend direction and identify potential trading opportunities.

Andean Oscillator (Version 3.0 Sr.K)Andean Oscillator (Version 3.0 Sr.K)
This indicator is a momentum-based oscillator that measures the balance between bullish and bearish pressure.
🔧 How it works:
It calculates two adaptive envelopes around price and derives a "bullish" and "bearish" component.
The oscillator value is simply Bull - Bear, showing which side dominates.
A signal line (EMA of the oscillator) smooths the raw value.
Optionally, ±1σ levels are plotted to highlight statistically strong moves.
📊 What you see:
Histogram: Positive bars = bullish momentum, negative bars = bearish.
Orange Line: Signal line (EMA) used to confirm or anticipate reversals.
Zero Line: The equilibrium point. Crosses of this level signal a shift in market bias.
Green / Red Triangles: Buy and sell signals, either when crossing zero or crossing the signal line (depending on selected mode).
⚡ Early Signal Mode:
When enabled, signals trigger earlier — at the crossover between the oscillator and its signal line — allowing traders to enter potential reversals before a full zero-cross confirmation.
✅ Use cases:
Identify momentum shifts before price reversals.
Spot potential long/short setups with reduced lag.
Combine with price action or support/resistance for confirmation.
⚠️ Note: This is a tool for discretionary/manual trading. It does not open or close trades automatically. Always confirm with your own analysis and risk management.
