Bollinger Bands Regression Forecast [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Bollinger Bands Regression Forecast combines volatility envelopes from Bollinger Bands with a linear regression-based projection model .
It visualizes both current and future price zones by extrapolating the Bollinger channel forward in time, giving traders a statistical forecast of probable support and resistance behavior.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Classic Bollinger Bands use a moving average (basis) and standard deviation (deviation) to form dynamic envelopes around price.
This indicator enhances them with linear regression slope detection , allowing it to forecast how the band may expand or contract in the future.
Regression is applied to both the band’s basis and deviation components to predict their trajectory for a user-defined number of Forecast Bars .
The resulting forecast creates a smoothed, funnel-shaped projection that dynamically adapts to volatility.
▲ and ▼ markers highlight potential mean reversion points when price crosses the outer bounds of the bands.
🔵 FEATURES
Forecast Engine : Uses linear regression to project Bollinger Band movement into the future.
Dynamic Channel Width : Adapts standard deviation and slope for realistic volatility modeling.
Auto-Labeled Levels : Displays live upper and lower forecast values for quick reference.
Cross Signals : Marks potential overbought and oversold zones with ▲/▼ signals when price exits the band.
Trend-Adaptive Basis Color : Basis line automatically switches color to represent short-term trend direction.
Customizable Colors and Widths for complete visual control.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Apply the indicator to visualize both current Bollinger structure and its forward projection.
Use ▲/▼ breakout markers to identify short-term reversals or volatility shifts.
When price consistently rides the upper band forecast, the trend is strong and likely continuing.
When regression shows narrowing bands ahead, expect a volatility contraction or consolidation period.
For range traders, outer projected bands can be used as potential mean reversion entry points .
Combine with volume or momentum filters to confirm whether breakouts are genuine or fading.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Bollinger Bands Regression Forecast transforms classic Bollinger analysis into a predictive forecasting model .
By merging volatility dynamics with regression-based extrapolation, it provides traders with a forward-looking visualization of likely price boundaries — revealing not only where volatility is but also where it’s heading next.

HTF Candle Profile [ChartPrime]⯁ OVERVIEW
The HTF Candle Profile visualizes higher-timeframe candle structure and its internal volume distribution directly on lower-timeframe charts. It automatically detects changes in higher-timeframe periods (daily, weekly, or monthly) and constructs a complete volume profile for each, allowing traders to see how volume is distributed across the range of that higher-timeframe candle. This helps identify whether momentum is supported by real volume strength or trapped price movement.
⯁ LOGIC
When a new higher-timeframe candle begins, the indicator starts collecting data for its open, high, low, close, and volume range.
Once sufficient bars have passed (defined by the Min Period Profile input), it calculates a full profile using adaptive bin sizing derived from the range (High–Low) and ATR for scaling precision.
The resulting bins represent the volume concentration at each price level of that higher-timeframe candle.
A Point of Control (PoC) is highlighted — the level where the most volume occurred.
The indicator then draws the higher-timeframe candle body and wicks at the chart’s right side, giving visual context of bullish or bearish sentiment.
⯁ FEATURES
Automatic HTF Detection: Identifies new Daily, Weekly, or Monthly periods and updates profiles in real time.
Dynamic Bin Calculation: Automatically adjusts bin size based on ATR and candle height for accurate volume granularity.
Volume Profile Rendering: Displays colored volume bars extending from the candle, showing where trading activity was concentrated.
Higher-Timeframe Candle Representation: Plots the full HTF candle (open, close, high, low) on the right side of the chart for visual clarity.
PoC Level & Labels: Marks the point of maximum volume within the candle profile with a line and volume label.
Configurable Levels: Toggle display of Open, Close, High, Low, and PoC for each higher-timeframe segment.
Color-coded Sentiment: Candle and profile colors reflect bullish or bearish momentum.
⯁ CONCLUSION
The HTF Candle Profile bridges lower- and higher-timeframe analysis by embedding high-resolution volume data within each major candle. It enables traders to see where liquidity and trading activity cluster inside higher-timeframe structures — revealing whether trends are volume-backed or hollow. Perfect for combining structural insight with volume confluence when analyzing market sentiment transitions across timeframes.
Wolfe Wave PatternHello All!
For a while now, some of my followers have been asking me to develop Wolfe Wave Pattern . Here it's at your service as open-source and public indicator.
How it works?
- On each bar/tick it checks zigzag waves by using base period and updates the array that is used to keep zigzag levels and locations. Base period in the settings is the minimum zigzag period
- Then it searches if there is new bullish/bearish Wolfe Wave pattern according to last wave direction
- Before searching the pattern it calculates all possible 1234 waves. So any wave in 12345 uses base period or higher. it means that it search all possible candidates. This algorithm is much better than using a few zigzag periods.
- After getting all possible candidates, it checks if any of the found candidates is suitable for Wolfe Wave pattern and keeps them in a matrix
- if there are suitable candidate(s) it shows the latest one and triggers the alert
- it also follows the targets and if the price hits any of the target it extends the line and trigger the alert
- it doesn't check if any of the patterns hits stop-loss.
Options:
Base Period: minimum period to create the zigzag
Error Rate: there are usually so few perfect patterns, so we better consider deviation. if error rate is low than it finds less pattern with more accuracy, if error rate is high than it finds more pattern with less accuracy
- The other options are used for coloring the patterns and lines
Some examples:
P.S. I didn't have enough time to test the indicator, so please drop a comment if you see any issue while using it

Frequency Momentum Oscillator [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Frequency Momentum Oscillator applies Fourier-based spectral analysis principles to price action to identify regime shifts and directional momentum. It calculates Fourier coefficients for selected harmonic frequencies on detrended price data, then measures the distribution of power across low, mid, and high frequency bands to distinguish between persistent directional trends and transient market noise. This approach provides traders with a quantitative framework for assessing whether current price action represents meaningful momentum or merely random fluctuations, enabling more informed entry and exit decisions across various asset classes and timeframes.
🟢 How It Works
The calculation process removes the dominant trend from price data by subtracting a simple moving average, isolating cyclical components for frequency analysis:
detrendedPrice = close - ta.sma(close , frequencyPeriod)
The detrended price series undergoes frequency decomposition through Fourier coefficient calculation across the first 8 harmonics. For each harmonic frequency, the algorithm computes sine and cosine components across the lookback window, then derives power as the sum of squared coefficients:
for k = 1 to 8
cosSum = 0.0
sinSum = 0.0
for n = 0 to frequencyPeriod - 1
angle = 2 * math.pi * k * n / frequencyPeriod
cosSum := cosSum + detrendedPrice * math.cos(angle)
sinSum := sinSum + detrendedPrice * math.sin(angle)
power = (cosSum * cosSum + sinSum * sinSum) / frequencyPeriod
Power measurements are aggregated into three frequency bands: low frequencies (harmonics 1-2) capturing persistent cycles, mid frequencies (harmonics 3-4), and high frequencies (harmonics 5-8) representing noise. Each band's power normalizes against total spectral power to create percentage distributions:
lowFreqNorm = totalPower > 0 ? (lowFreqPower / totalPower) * 100 : 33.33
highFreqNorm = totalPower > 0 ? (highFreqPower / totalPower) * 100 : 33.33
The normalized frequency components undergo exponential smoothing before calculating spectral balance as the difference between low and high frequency power:
smoothLow = ta.ema(lowFreqNorm, smoothingPeriod)
smoothHigh = ta.ema(highFreqNorm, smoothingPeriod)
spectralBalance = smoothLow - smoothHigh
Spectral balance combines with price momentum through directional multiplication, producing a composite signal that integrates frequency characteristics with price direction:
momentum = ta.change(close , frequencyPeriod/2)
compositeSignal = spectralBalance * math.sign(momentum)
finalSignal = ta.ema(compositeSignal, smoothingPeriod)
The final signal oscillates around zero, with positive values indicating low-frequency dominance coupled with upward momentum (trending up), and negative values indicating either high-frequency dominance (choppy market) or downward momentum (trending down).
🟢 How to Use This Indicator
→ Long/Short Signals: the indicator generates long signals when the smoothed composite signal crosses above zero (indicating low-frequency directional strength dominates) and short signals when it crosses below zero (indicating bearish momentum persistence).
→ Upper and Lower Reference Lines: the +25 and -25 reference lines serve as threshold markers for momentum strength. Readings beyond these levels indicate strong directional conviction, while oscillations between them suggest consolidation or weakening momentum. These references help traders distinguish between strong trending regimes and choppy transitional periods.
→ Preconfigured Presets: three optimized configurations are available with Default (32, 3) offering balanced responsiveness, Fast Response (24, 2) designed for scalping and intraday trading, and Smooth Trend (40, 5) calibrated for swing trading and position trading with enhanced noise filtration.
→ Built-in Alerts: the indicator includes three alert conditions for automated monitoring - Long Signal (momentum shifts bullish), Short Signal (momentum shifts bearish), and Signal Change (any directional transition). These alerts enable traders to receive real-time notifications without continuous chart monitoring.
→ Color Customization: four visual themes (Classic green/red, Aqua blue/orange, Cosmic aqua/purple, Custom) allow chart customization for different display environments and personal preferences.
Normalised Volume Oscillator [BackQuant]Normalised Volume Oscillator
A refined evolution of the Klinger Volume Oscillator, rebuilt for clarity, precision, and adaptability. This tool normalizes volume-driven momentum into a bounded scale so you can easily identify shifts in accumulation and distribution across any asset or timeframe, while keeping readings comparable between markets.
What this indicator does
The Normalised Volume Oscillator quantifies the balance between buying and selling pressure using the Klinger Volume Oscillator (KVO) as its base, then rescales it dynamically into a normalized range between -0.5 and +0.5. This normalization allows traders to interpret relative strength and exhaustion in volume flow, rather than dealing with raw unbounded values that differ across symbols.
It is a momentum-volume hybrid that reveals the strength of trend participation: when buyers dominate, normalized readings rise toward +0.5; when sellers dominate, they fall toward -0.5. The midline (0) acts as an equilibrium between accumulation and distribution.
Core components
Klinger Volume Oscillator: The foundation of this indicator, combining volume with price trend direction to measure long-term money flow relative to short-term movement.
Normalization process: The raw KVO is scaled over a user-defined Normalisation Period , computing `(KVO - lowest) / (highest - lowest) - 0.5`. This centers all readings around zero, allowing overbought/oversold detection independent of asset volatility or volume magnitude.
Signal moving average: The normalized KVO is smoothed with a user-selectable moving average type—SMA, EMA, DEMA, TEMA, HMA, ALMA, and others. This becomes the signal line for confirmation of trend direction or mean-reversion setups.
How it works conceptually
1. The KVO detects when volume supports price movement (bullish) or diverges from it (bearish).
2. The script normalizes the raw KVO so that relative magnitude is consistent—what is “strong buying pressure” looks the same on BTCUSD as it does on AAPL.
3. Overbought and oversold regions are derived statistically, rather than from arbitrary values, based on percentile zones around ±0.4 and ±0.5.
4. The oscillator is optionally combined with a moving average to help identify crossovers, momentum shifts, and divergence confirmation.
How to interpret it
Above 0: Indicates dominant buying pressure and likely continuation of upward momentum.
Below 0: Suggests dominant selling pressure and potential continuation of downward movement.
Crosses of 0: Often mark transitions between accumulation and distribution phases.
+0.4 to +0.5 zone: Overbought region where buying intensity is stretched; watch for deceleration or divergence.
[-0.4 to -0.5 zone: Oversold region indicating panic or exhaustion in selling.
Signal-line crossover: A traditional momentum confirmation method; when the normalized KVO crosses above its moving average, buyers regain control, and vice versa.
Why normalization matters
Typical volume oscillators are asset-specific—what is considered “high” volume for one symbol is not the same for another. By dynamically normalizing KVO values within a rolling lookback, this version transforms raw amplitude into a standardized scale. This means you can:
Compare multiple assets objectively.
Set consistent alert thresholds for overbought/oversold regions.
Avoid misleading interpretations from absolute oscillator values.
Customization and UI
Moving Average Type & Period: Select your preferred smoothing method (SMA, EMA, TEMA, etc.) and adjust its period to tune sensitivity.
Normalisation Period: Defines how many bars the KVO range is measured over; shorter periods adapt faster, longer ones smooth more.
Visual Toggles:
* Show Oscillator : enables or hides the core histogram.
* Show Moving Average : adds a smoothed overlay for signal confirmation.
* Paint Candles : optional color overlay for chart candles based on oscillator direction.
* Show Static Levels : displays ±0.4 and ±0.5 zones for overbought/oversold boundaries.
How to use it
Trend confirmation: Use midline (0) crossovers as confirmation of emerging trend shifts—cross above 0 suggests a new bullish phase, cross below 0 a bearish one.
Reversal spotting: Look for normalized readings reaching ±0.5 and flattening, or diverging against price extremes.
Divergence analysis: When price makes a new high but the normalized oscillator fails to, it signals waning buying conviction (and vice versa for lows).
Multi-timeframe integration: Works best alongside higher timeframe trend filters or moving averages; normalization makes this consistent.
Alerts
Prebuilt alert conditions allow quick automation:
Midline crossovers (0): transition between accumulation and distribution.
Overbought (+0.4) and Oversold (-0.4) triggers for potential exhaustion.
Signal moving-average crosses for confirmation entries.
Tips for use
Combine with price structure—don’t fade every overbought/oversold reading; confirm with break of structure or candle patterns.
Use longer normalization periods for position trading, shorter for intraday analysis.
In choppy markets, treat 0-line oscillations as noise filters, not trade triggers.
Summary
The Normalised Volume Oscillator modernizes the classic Klinger Volume Oscillator by normalizing its readings into a standardized range. This makes it more adaptive across assets and timeframes, improves interpretability, and provides intuitive, data-driven overbought/oversold levels. Whether used standalone or as a confirmation layer, it offers a clearer view of volume dynamics—revealing when markets are truly being accumulated, distributed, or stretched beyond their sustainable extremes.

## CORE CALCULATIONS
### 1. **MACD**
```pinescript
macdLine = ta.ema(close, fastLen) - ta.ema(close, slowLen)
signalLine = ta.ema(macdLine, signalLen)
hist = macdLine - signalLine
```
- `hist > 0` → **Bullish momentum**
- `hist < 0` → **Bearish momentum**
### 2. **RSI**
```pinescript
rsi = ta.rsi(close, rsiLen)
```
- `rsi > 50` → **Bullish bias**
- `rsi < 50` → **Bearish bias**
---
## DUAL CONFIRMATION LOGIC
| Condition | Meaning |
|--------|--------|
| `bullCond = macdBull and rsiBull` | **MACD hist > 0** AND **RSI > 50** → **Confirmed Bullish** |
| `bearCond = macdBear and rsiBear` | **MACD hist < 0** AND **RSI < 50** → **Confirmed Bearish** |
| Otherwise | **Neutral / Conflicted** |
> Only **strong, aligned signals** get bright colors.
---
## DYNAMIC INTENSITY & TRANSPARENCY (Key Feature)
```pinescript
maxHist = ta.highest(math.abs(hist), 100)
intensity = math.abs(hist) / maxHist
transp = 90 - (intensity * 80)
```
### How It Works:
1. Finds **strongest MACD histogram value** in last 100 bars
2. Compares **current histogram** to that peak → `intensity` (0 to 1)
3. **Transparency scales from 90 (faint) → 10 (bright)**
| Intensity | Transparency | Visual Effect |
|---------|--------------|-------------|
| 0% (weak) | 90 | Almost transparent |
| 50% | 50 | Medium |
| 100% | 10 | **Vivid, bold candle** |
> **Brighter candle = stronger momentum relative to recent history**

RSI Swing Indicator (with HL Alert)This indicator identifies swing highs and lows based on RSI extremes (overbought and oversold zones). It automatically labels:
HH (Higher High) – price moves higher than the previous swing high
LH (Lower High) – price forms a lower high
HL (Higher Low) – price forms a higher low
LL (Lower Low) – price forms a lower low
It also draws swing lines connecting these points for visual trend analysis. Alerts are triggered specifically on HL formations, which often signal potential bullish continuation.

Liquidity & inducementsHi all!
This indicator will show liquidity and inducements.
I will continue to try to add different types of liquidity and inducements, at this moment it contains 6 kinds of liquidity/inducement, they are:
• Grabs
• Big grabs
• Sweeps
• Turtle soups
• Equal highs/lows (liquidity and inducement)
• BSL & SSL
And 1 type of inducement:
• Retracement
This description will contain indicator examples of each individual liquidity and inducement. They will all be with the default settings.
Settings
First you will find settings for the market structure (BOS/CHoCH/CHoCH+). Select left and right pivot lengths and if the pivots should have a label or not.
This is the base foundation of this indicator and is possible with my library 'PriceAction' ().
You will see solid lines for break of structures (BOS), change of characters (CHoCH) and change of character plus (CHoCH+).
The pivots found will be the core of this indicator and will show you when the closing price breaks it. When that happens a break of structure (BOS) or a change of character (CHoCH or CHoCH+) will be created. The latest 5 pivots found within the current trend will be kept to take action on.
A break of structure is removed if an earlier pivot within the same trend is broken and the pivot's high price for a bullish trend or low price for a bearish trend is more extreme than the BOS pivot's price.
You are able to show the pivots that are used. "HH" (higher high), "HL" (higher low), "LH" (lower high), "LL" (lower low) and "H"/"L" (for pivots (high/low) when the trend has changed) are the labels used.
In the next section ('Liquidity ($$$)') you can select which types of liquidity you want to see. Note that 'Equal highs/lows' can also show inducement (more on that later).
In the section afterwards ('Inducement (IDM)') you can select if you want retracement inducements to be visible or not. More information on what they are later on.
The section for each individual liquidity and/or inducement can first contain a line named 'Pivot', where you can set the pivot lengths (first left, then right). Then you can set the 'Lookback', which means that the 'Lookback' number of past pivots is to take action on. After that you set the 'Timeframe' for the pivots used. That means that all available liquidity/inducements will be from your desired timeframe. Lastly you set the color of the liquidity/inducement (either a single color or bullish followed by bearish colors).
Lastly in the settings you can select the font sizes for the market structure and liquidity/inducements and what style liquidity/inducements lines will have. The sizes defaults to 7 and has a dotted line look.
Grabs
Liquidity grabs and liquidity sweeps are very similar. It all depends on if the current bar closed above/below the liquidity pivot and on if its a continuation or reversal. In a liquidity grab the bar that's above or below the liquidity pivot was not closed above or below it. Like this:
Or
The visual feedback will be a dotted line between the liquidity pivot and liquidity grab bar and a linefill between the high of the liquidity grab bar and the liquidity pivot.
Indicator example:
Big grabs
This is another 'grabs' option. You can show an additional grab if you want to. I suggest having this grab from a higher timeframe or with larger pivot lengths than the other grab.
The default is with the chart timeframe and 10/10 as pivot lengths.
Indicator example:
Sweeps
A liquidity sweep is like a liquidity grab but with the difference that price closes above/below and has a continuation instead of a reversal. If the liquidity pivot was at the same bar as a BOS/CHoCH/CHoCH+ it will not be a liquidity grab but a structural break instead.
They can look like this:
Indicator example;
Turtle soups
If only one candle is beyond the pivot it could be a liquidity grab. It's a grab if price didn't close beyond the liquidity pivot, if so it's invaliditet. Turtle soups are basically false breakouts that takes liquidity (is a false breakout from a pivot with the lengths and timeframe from the settings).
The turtle soup can have a confirmation in the terms of a change of character (CHoCH). You can enable this in the settings section for 'Turtle soups' through the 'Confirmation' checkbox (enabled by default). The turtle soup strategy usually comes with some sort of confirmation, in this case a CHoCH, but it can also be a market structure shift (MSS) or a change in state of delivery (CISD).
The addition of turtle soups is possible through my script 'Turtle soup' ().
The drawing will be a dotted line between the liquidity pivot and the last bar of the false breakout and a box from the start of the false breakout to the end of it.
Indicator example:
Equal highs/lows
Equal highs/lows will always show liquidity, but might also show inducement. Inducement will be shown on equal lows if the trend is bullish and on equal highs if it's bearish, like this:
Or
Equal highs can only be created if the second pivot is lower than the first one. Equal lows can only be created if the second pivot is higher than the first one. If that is not the case it could be a liquidity grab.
When equal highs or equal lows are find that produces inducement (equal lows in a bullish trend and equal highs in a bearish trend), the indicator will first display inducement and will show liquidity once traders are induced to enter the security. Stop loss placement, for liquidity, is 0.1 * the average true range (ATR, of length 14). They will look like this:
Only inducement:
Inducement and liquidity:
Indicator example:
Equal highs/lows inducements can not be triggered after a BOS/CHoCH/CHoCH+. They are cleared upon a structural break.
BSL & SSL
Buyside liquidity (BSL) and sellside liquidity (SSL) will be shown. A pivot that's been mitigated (touched by price) can never be BSL or SSL. The BSL/SSL available will be dynamic while price moves (work in Replay and lower timeframes that moves fast) and pick the latest pivot/s (with left and right lengths from the 'Market structure' section). You can define how many BSL/SSL you want to see with a default value of 1, meaning only 1 BSL and 1 SSL can be shown. If there is no unmitigated high (BSL) or low (SSL), no BSL/SSL will be available to show. If there are BSL/SSL available they're very useful to use as targets for entering a trade.
The will look like this when available;
And without BSL available:
Or
And without SSL available:
Note that the examples without BSL/SSL available could have liquidity available from previous price legs.
This can be an example of a BSL/SSL sequence:
First both buyside and sellside liquidity is available:
Then a new low appears and new sellside liquidity is available:
Then buyside liquidity is mitigated, so only sellside liquidity is available:
A new high pivot appears and buyside liquidity is available again:
Lastly a bearish CHoCH happens and sellside liquidity is mitigated, only buyside liquidity is available:
Retracement
The first retracement after a BOS/CHoCH/CHoCH+ is considered an inducement with the mission to get traders into a trade prematurely to get stopped out. This level is shown and look like this:
Or
A retracement inducement is removed when a new BOS/CHoCH/CHoCH+ appears and it's not triggered.
---------------------------
As of now there aren't any alerts available. You cannot use the Pine Screener from Tradingview either to see new liquidity/inducement events. I have this planned for future updates though.
I hope that this long description makes sense, let me know otherwise! Also let me know if you experience any bugs or have a feature request or just want to share good settings to use.
Best of trading luck!
Reduced-Lag Chande Momentum Oscillator [BOSWaves]Reduced-Lag Chande Momentum Oscillator – Adaptive Momentum Geometry with Reduced-Latency Reversion Logic
Overview
The Reduced-Lag Chande Momentum Oscillator represents a sophisticated extension of the classical Chande Momentum Oscillator, preserving the foundational measurement of net directional pressure while addressing inherent limitations in lag, noise, and signal clarity. The traditional CMO provides reliable snapshots of upward versus downward force but reacts slowly to rapid market accelerations and can obscure meaningful momentum inflections with delayed readings. This iteration integrates a dual-stage reduced-lag filter, optional advanced smoothing, and acceleration-based analytics, producing a real-time, multi-dimensional representation of market momentum.
The design reframes classical momentum using a layered curvature and gradient structure - main, midline, and shadow - to show trajectory, velocity, and intensity in one view. Instead of the usual ±70/30 extremes, it uses ±50 as a statistically grounded threshold where one side of the market begins exerting true dominance. This captures structural imbalance more reliably, exposing exhaustion and actionable inflection without amplifying noise.
This visualization gives traders a continuous, responsive read on market structure, revealing not just direction but rate of change, acceleration alignment, and curvature behavior. The oscillator becomes a momentum map, expressing both probability and intensity behind directional shifts.
Where conventional oscillators mislabel short-lived swings as signals, the Reduced-Lag CMO separates baseline shifts from high-conviction transitions, enabling cleaner, more decisive signal interpretation.
Theoretical Foundation
The classical Chande Momentum Oscillator, created by Tushar Chande, calculates the normalized net difference between consecutive upward and downward price changes over a defined window, generating readings from –100 to +100. While effective for capturing basic directional pressure, the unmodified CMO suffers from signal latency and sensitivity to abrupt market swings, which can obscure actionable inflection points.
The Reduced-Lag CMO augments this foundation with three key mechanisms:
Reduced-Lag Filtering : A dual-EMA structure eliminates inertial lag, aligning the oscillator curve closely with real-time market momentum without producing overshoot artifacts.
Smoothing Architecture : Optional SMA, EMA, or WMA smoothing is applied post-filter, balancing noise reduction with trajectory fidelity. A multi-layer line system (shadow → midline → main) communicates depth, curvature, and gradient dynamics.
Acceleration Integration : First and second derivatives of the smoothed curve quantify velocity and acceleration, allowing the indicator to identify not only momentum flips but the force behind each shift, forming the basis for the strong-signal overlay.
The combination of these mechanisms produces an oscillator that respects the original CMO framework while delivering real-time, context-sensitive intelligence. The ±50 boundaries are selected as the statistically validated pressure zones where directional dominance exceeds neutral oscillation. Crosses and rejections at these boundaries are not arbitrary overbought/oversold events, but measurable imbalances with actionable significance.
How It Works
The Reduced-Lag CMO is constructed through a multi-stage process:
Momentum Estimation Core : Raw CMO values are calculated and then passed through a reduced-lag filter to remove delay, creating a curve that closely tracks instantaneous directional pressure.
Smoothing & Layered Representation : The filtered curve can be smoothed and split into three layers - shadow, midline, and main - giving visual depth, trajectory clarity, and curvature instead of a single-line oscillator.
Gradient-Based Pressure Mapping : Color gradients encode momentum strength and polarity. Green-yellow transitions highlight increasing upward dominance, while red-yellow transitions indicate weakening downward force.
Pressure-Zone Anchoring (±50) : The system defines statistically significant pressure zones at ±50. Moves beyond these levels reflect dominant directional control, and rejections inside the zone signal potential exhaustion.
Signal Generation : Momentum events are evaluated through velocity and acceleration. Standard signals appear as triangle markers indicating validated momentum flips. Strong signals appear as triangles with diamonds when acceleration confirms a high-conviction transition.
A cooldown rule spaces signals apart to reduce clutter and emphasize structurally meaningful events.
Interpretation
The Reduced-Lag CMO reframes momentum as a dynamic equilibrium between directional force and structural pressure:
Positive Momentum Phases : Curves above zero with green-yellow gradients indicate sustained upward pressure. Shallow retracements or midline tests denote controlled pullbacks.
Negative Momentum Phases : Curves below zero with red-yellow gradients show downward dominance. Rejections from –50 highlight potential exhaustion and reversal readiness.
Pressure-Zone Dynamics (±50) : Crosses beyond ±50 confirm dominant directional force. Meanwhile, rejections and rotations inside the zone signal structural fatigue.
Velocity & Acceleration Analysis : Rising momentum with decelerating velocity suggests fading force; acceleration alignment amplifies signal strength and forms the basis of strong signals.
Signal Architecture
The Reduced-Lag CMO produces a single event type with two intensities: a validated momentum inflection.
Standard Signals - Triangles:
Triggered by momentum flips confirmed by velocity.
Represent moderate-intensity directional changes.
Appear at zero-line crosses or ±50 rejections with aligned velocity.
Strong Signals Triangles + Diamonds:
Triggered when acceleration confirms the directional change.
Represent high-intensity, high-conviction shifts.
Rare by design; indicate robust momentum inflections.
Cooldown mechanics prevent repeated signals in short succession, emphasizing structural reliability over noise.
Strategy Integration
Trend Confirmation : Align zero-line flips with higher-timeframe directional bias.
Reversal Detection : Strong signals from ±50 zones highlight potential inflection points.
Volatility Assessment : Gradient transitions reveal strengthening or weakening momentum.
Pullback Timing : Multi-layer curvature identifies controlled retracements vs trend exhaustion.
Confluence Mapping : Pair with structure-based indicators to filter signals in context.

Disclaimer
The Reduced-Lag Chande Momentum Oscillator is a professional-grade analytical tool. It is not predictive and carries no guaranteed profitability. Effectiveness depends on asset class, volatility regime, parameter selection, and disciplined execution. Any suggested application timeframes or recommended ranges are guidance only - they are not universally optimal and will not deliver consistent accuracy on every asset or market condition. BOSWaves recommends using it in conjunction with structure, liquidity, and momentum context.
Previous Day & Week Highs and Lows 1.3Overlay indicator that plots horizontal lines for the previous day’s and previous week’s highs and lows. Lines extend until the next period starts, so you can see these levels throughout the current day or week.
The indicator detects new daily and weekly sessions and draws lines at the previous period’s high and low. Daily levels use green (high) and red (low); weekly levels use blue (high) and magenta (low). You can toggle daily/weekly independently, customize colors, and adjust line width. It works on intraday timeframes and helps identify support/resistance and track breakouts relative to prior periods.
ATR Trend + RSI Pullback Strategy [Profit-Focused]This strategy is designed to catch high-probability pullbacks during strong trends using a combination of ATR-based volatility filters, RSI exhaustion levels, and a trend-following entry model.
Strategy Logic
Rather than relying on lagging crossovers, this model waits for RSI to dip into oversold zones (below 40) while price remains above a long-term EMA (default: 200). This setup captures pullbacks in strong uptrends, allowing traders to enter early in a move while controlling risk dynamically.
To avoid entries during low-volatility conditions or sideways price action, it applies a minimum ATR filter. The ATR also defines both the stop-loss and take-profit levels, allowing the model to adapt to changing market conditions.
Exit logic includes:
A take-profit at 3× the ATR distance
A stop-loss at 1.5× the ATR distance
An optional early exit if RSI crosses above 70, signaling overbought conditions
Technical Details
Trend Filter: 200 EMA – must be rising and price must be above it
Entry Signal: RSI dips below 40 during an uptrend
Volatility Filter: ATR must be above a user-defined minimum threshold
Stop-Loss: 1.5× ATR below entry price
Take-Profit: 3.0× ATR above entry price
Exit on Overbought: RSI > 70 (optional early exit)
Backtest Settings
Initial Capital: $10,000
Position Sizing: 5% of equity per trade
Slippage: 1 tick
Commission: 0.075% per trade
Trade Direction: Long only
Timeframes Tested: 15m, 1H, and 30m on trending assets like BTCUSD, NAS100, ETHUSD
This model is tuned for positive P&L across trending environments and volatile markets.
Educational Use Only
This strategy is for educational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always validate performance on multiple markets and timeframes before using it in live trading.
RSI BREAKOUT SIGNALSThis BB + RSI Breakout indicator is designed to help traders identify potential buy and sell opportunities based on price movements relative to the Donchian channel (or Bollinger-type channel) and momentum conditions. It calculates the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined length to form a dynamic channel, and then it checks whether the current price breaks above the upper band (for a buy signal) or below the lower band (for a sell signal). To avoid repeated signals in a row, the indicator uses a state system: after a buy signal occurs, it will not generate another buy until a sell occurs, and vice versa. When a buy signal is triggered, it automatically calculates a take-profit price a certain percentage above the buy candle and displays this price below the candle as a “TP” label. Sell signals are displayed above the candle, and any previous TP label is cleared. The indicator updates in real time, so the signals move with the chart, giving a clear and lag-free visualization of entry points and potential profit targets.

Elliott Wave + SMC Fusion # Elliott Wave + SMC Fusion
## TITLE:
Elliott Wave + Smart Money Concepts Fusion
---
## SHORT DESCRIPTION:
Automated Elliott Wave pattern detection with Smart Money Concepts confirmation, EWO oscillator integration, and confluence scoring system.
---
## FULL DESCRIPTION:
### 📊 OVERVIEW
This indicator combines three powerful trading methodologies into a unified system:
- **Elliott Wave Theory** - Automated detection of Wave 1-2 impulse patterns
- **Smart Money Concepts (SMC)** - Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps for institutional confirmation
- **Elliott Wave Oscillator (EWO)** - Momentum-based signal validation
The core concept is to identify high-probability Wave 3 entries by detecting completed Wave 1-2 structures and validating them with SMC and momentum indicators.
---
### 🔧 HOW IT WORKS
**1. Pattern Detection (ZigZag Method)**
- Uses pivot high/low detection to identify swing points
- Validates Wave 2 retracement using Fibonacci ratios (default: 38.2% - 88.6%)
- Requires minimum wave size to filter noise
- Applies confirmation bars to avoid premature signals
**2. Wave Projections**
- Wave 3 target: Fibonacci extension of Wave 1 (default: 1.618)
- Wave 4 retracement: Percentage of Wave 3 (default: 38.2%)
- Wave 5 projection: Extension of Wave 1 from Wave 4
**3. Smart Money Validation**
- **Order Blocks**: Identifies last opposing candle before breakout (institutional footprint)
- **Fair Value Gaps**: Detects price imbalances for potential support/resistance
**4. EWO Confirmation**
- Calculates momentum: (EMA5 / EMA34 - 1) × 100
- Signal line crossovers confirm trend direction
- Strong signals occur at extremes (< -13 or > 13 threshold)
**5. Confluence Scoring (0-100%)**
Points awarded for:
- Fibonacci quality of Wave 2 retracement (10-30 pts)
- Order Block presence (15 pts)
- Fair Value Gap presence (10 pts)
- Volume confirmation (10-15 pts)
- Trend alignment with EMA50 (10 pts)

SP500 Session Gap Fade StrategySummary in one paragraph
SPX Session Gap Fade is an intraday gap fade strategy for index futures, designed around regular cash sessions on five minute charts. It helps you participate only when there is a full overnight or pre session gap and a valid intraday session window, instead of trading every open. The original part is the gap distance engine which anchors both stop and optional target to the previous session reference close at a configurable flat time, so every trade’s risk scales with the actual gap size rather than a fixed tick stop.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Primarily index futures such as ES, NQ, YM, and liquid index CFDs that exhibit overnight gaps and regular cash hours.
• Timeframes. Intraday timeframes from one minute to fifteen minutes. Default usage is five minute bars.
• Default demo used in the publication. Symbol CME:ES1! on a five minute chart.
• Purpose. Provide a simple, transparent way to trade opening gaps with a session anchored risk model and forced flat exit so you are not holding into the last part of the session.
• Limits. This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles only.
Originality and usefulness
• Unique concept or fusion. The core novelty is the combination of a strict “full gap” entry condition with a session anchored reference close and a gap distance based TP and SL engine. The stop and optional target are symmetric multiples of the actual gap distance from the previous session’s flat close, rather than fixed ticks.
• Failure mode it addresses. Fixed sized stops do not scale when gaps are unusually small or unusually large, which can either under risk or over risk the account. The session flat logic also reduces the chance of holding residual positions into late session liquidity and news.
• Testability. All key pieces are explicit in the Inputs: session window, minutes before session end, whether to use gap exits, whether TP or SL are active, and whether to allow candle based closes and forced flat. You can toggle each component and see how it changes entries and exits.
• Portable yardstick. The main unit is the absolute price gap between the entry bar open and the previous session reference close. tp_mult and sl_mult are multiples of that gap, which makes the risk model portable across contracts and volatility regimes.
Method overview in plain language
The strategy first defines a trading session using exchange time, for example 08:30 to 15:30 for ES day hours. It also defines a “flat” time a fixed number of minutes before session end. At the flat bar, any open position is closed and the bar’s close price is stored as the reference close for the next session. Inside the session, the strategy looks for a full gap bar relative to the prior bar: a gap down where today’s high is below yesterday’s low, or a gap up where today’s low is above yesterday’s high. A full gap down generates a long entry; a full gap up generates a short entry. If the gap risk engine is enabled and a valid reference close exists, the strategy measures the distance between the entry bar open and that reference close. It then sets a stop and optional target as configurable multiples of that gap distance and manages them with strategy.exit. Additional exits can be triggered by a candle color flip or by the forced flat time.
Base measures
• Range basis. The main unit is the absolute difference between the current entry bar open and the stored reference close from the previous session flat bar. That value is used as a “gap unit” and scaled by tp_mult and sl_mult to build the target and stop.
Components
• Component one: Gap Direction. Detects full gap up or full gap down by comparing the current high and low to the previous bar’s high and low. Gap down signals a long fade, gap up signals a short fade. There is no smoothing; it is a strict structural condition.
• Component two: Session Window. Only allows entries when the current time is within the configured session window. It also defines a flat time before the session end where positions are forced flat and the reference close is updated.
• Component three: Gap Distance Risk Engine. Computes the absolute distance between the entry open and the stored reference close. The stop and optional target are placed as entry ± gap_distance × multiplier so that risk scales with gap size.
• Optional component: Candle Exit. If enabled, a bullish bar closes short positions and a bearish bar closes long positions, which can shorten holding time when price reverses quickly inside the session.
• Session windows. Session logic uses the exchange time of the chart symbol. When changing symbols or venues, verify that the session time string still matches the new instrument’s cash hours.
Fusion rule
All gates are hard conditions rather than weighted scores. A trade can only open if the session window is active and the full gap condition is true. The gap distance engine only activates if a valid reference close exists and use_gap_risk is on. TP and SL are controlled by separate booleans so you can use SL only, TP only, or both. Long and short are symmetric by construction: long trades fade full gap downs, short trades fade full gap ups with mirrored TP and SL logic.
Signal rule
• Long entry. Inside the active session, when the current bar shows a full gap down relative to the previous bar (current high below prior low), the strategy opens a long position. If the gap risk engine is active, it places a gap based stop below the entry and an optional target above it.
• Short entry. Inside the active session, when the current bar shows a full gap up relative to the previous bar (current low above prior high), the strategy opens a short position. If the gap risk engine is active, it places a gap based stop above the entry and an optional target below it.
• Forced flat. At the configured flat time before session end, any open position is closed and the close price of that bar becomes the new reference close for the following session.
• Candle based exit. If enabled, a bearish bar closes longs, and a bullish bar closes shorts, regardless of where TP or SL sit, as long as a position is open.
What you will see on the chart
• Markers on entry bars. Standard strategy entry markers labeled “long” and “short” on the gap bars where trades open.
• Exit markers. Standard exit markers on bars where either the gap stop or target are hit, or where a candle exit or forced flat close occurs. Exit IDs “long_gap” and “short_gap” label gap based exits.
• Reference levels. Horizontal lines for the current long TP, long SL, short TP, and short SL while a position is open and the gap engine is enabled. They update when a new trade opens and disappear when flat.
• Session background. This version does not add background shading for the session; session logic runs internally based on time.
• No on chart table. All decisions are visible through orders and exit levels. Use the Strategy Tester for performance metrics.
Inputs with guidance
Session Settings
• Trading session (sess). Session window in exchange time. Typical value uses the regular cash session for each contract, for example “0830-1530” for ES. Adjust if your broker or symbol uses different hours.
• Minutes before session end to force exit (flat_before_min). Minutes before the session end where positions are forced flat and the reference close is stored. Typical range is 15 to 120. Raising it closes trades earlier in the day; lowering it allows trades later in the session.
Gap Risk
• Enable gap based TP/SL (use_gap_risk). Master switch for the gap distance exit engine. Turning it off keeps entries and forced flat logic but removes automatic TP and SL placement.
• Use TP limit from gap (use_gap_tp). Enables gap based profit targets. Typical values are true for structured exits or false if you want to manage exits manually and only keep a stop.
• Use SL stop from gap (use_gap_sl). Enables gap based stop losses. This should normally remain true so that each trade has a defined initial risk in ticks.
• TP multiplier of gap distance (tp_mult). Multiplier applied to the gap distance for the target. Typical range is 0.5 to 2.0. Raising it places the target further away and reduces hit frequency.
• SL multiplier of gap distance (sl_mult). Multiplier applied to the gap distance for the stop. Typical range is 0.5 to 2.0. Raising it widens the stop and increases risk per trade; lowering it tightens the stop and may increase the number of small losses.
Exit Controls
• Exit with candle logic (use_candle_exit). If true, closes shorts on bullish candles and longs on bearish candles. Useful when you want to react to intraday reversal bars even if TP or SL have not been reached.
• Force flat before session end (use_forced_flat). If true, guarantees you are flat by the configured flat time and updates the reference close. Turn this off only if you understand the impact on overnight risk.
Filters
There is no separate trend or volatility filter in this version. All trades depend on the presence of a full gap bar inside the session. If you need extra filtering such as ATR, volume, or higher timeframe bias, they should be added explicitly and documented in your own fork.
Usage recipes
Intraday conservative gap fade
• Timeframe. Five minute chart on ES regular session.
• Gap risk. use_gap_risk = true, use_gap_tp = true, use_gap_sl = true.
• Multipliers. tp_mult around 0.7 to 1.0 and sl_mult around 1.0.
• Exits. use_candle_exit = false, use_forced_flat = true. Focus on the structured TP and SL around the gap.
Intraday aggressive gap fade
• Timeframe. Five minute chart.
• Gap risk. use_gap_risk = true, use_gap_tp = false, use_gap_sl = true.
• Multipliers. sl_mult around 0.7 to 1.0.
• Exits. use_candle_exit = true, use_forced_flat = true. Entries fade full gaps, stops are tight, and candle color flips flatten trades early.
Higher timeframe gap tests
• Timeframe. Fifteen minute or sixty minute charts on instruments with regular gaps.
• Gap risk. Keep use_gap_risk = true. Consider slightly higher sl_mult if gaps are structurally wider on the higher timeframe.
• Note. Expect fewer trades and be careful with sample size; multi year data is recommended.
Properties visible in this publication
• On average our risk for each position over the last 200 trades is 0.4% with a max intraday loss of 1.5% of the total equity in this case of 100k $ with 1 contract ES. For other assets, recalculations and customizations has to be applied.
• Initial capital. 100 000.
• Base currency. USD.
• Default order size method. Fixed with size 1 contract.
• Pyramiding. 0.
• Commission. Flat 2 USD per order in the Strategy Tester Properties. (2$ buying + 2$selling)
• Slippage. One tick in the Strategy Tester Properties.
• Process orders on close. ON.
Realism and responsible publication
• No performance claims are made. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
• Costs use a realistic flat commission and one tick of slippage per trade for ES class futures.
• Default sizing with one contract on a 100 000 reference account targets modest per trade risk. In practice, extreme slippage or gap through events can exceed this, so treat the one and a half percent risk target as a design goal, not a guarantee.
• All orders are simulated on standard candles. Shapes can move while a bar is forming and settle on bar close.
Honest limitations and failure modes
• Economic releases, thin liquidity, and limit conditions can break the assumptions behind the simple gap model and lead to slippage or skipped fills.
• Symbols with very frequent or very large gaps may require adjusted multipliers or alternative risk handling, especially in high volatility regimes.
• Very quiet periods without clean gaps will produce few or no trades. This is expected behavior, not a bug.
• Session windows follow the exchange time of the chart. Always confirm that the configured session matches the symbol.
• When both the stop and target lie inside the same bar’s range, the TradingView engine decides which is hit first based on its internal intrabar assumptions. Without bar magnifier, tie handling is approximate.

Macro Range HighlighterThis Pine Script indicator creates visual boxes that highlight specific time-based price ranges throughout the trading day, operating in New York Eastern Time. It offers two distinct modes: a standard hourly range mode and a classic ICT (Inner Circle Trader) Macro mode.
Two Operating Modes
Mode 1: Standard Hourly 50-09 Ranges (Default)
This mode identifies and highlights the price range during the final 10 minutes of each hour (xx:50) through the first 9 minutes of the next hour (xx:09).
Examples of captured ranges:
08:50 - 09:09
09:50 - 10:09
10:50 - 11:09
11:50 - 12:09
12:50 - 13:09
13:50 - 14:09
14:50 - 15:09
And continues for each hour...
Excluded Time Periods:
The indicator excludes certain periods that cross into or occur during market close and the daily reset:
02:50 - 03:09 (excluded to avoid interference with overnight session)
15:50 - 18:09 (excluded to avoid end-of-regular-hours and the 18:00 ET trading day reset)
This means you will NOT see boxes during the 16:00 or 17:00 hours, as these fall within the excluded window.
Mode 2: Classic ICT Macro Times
When enabled, this mode shows ONLY four specific time windows that are significant in ICT methodology:
02:33 - 02:59 (London Midnight Macro)
04:03 - 04:29 (London Open Macro)
13:10 - 13:39 (New York Lunch Macro)
15:15 - 15:44 (New York Close Macro)
When this mode is active, all standard hourly ranges are disabled, including the 02:50-03:09 range.
Green Line - Open Price
Represents the open price of the first candle when the range begins
This line is static once set - it shows where price opened when entering the time window
Extends horizontally across the entire duration of the box
Example: If the range starts at 08:50 and that candle opens at 18,500, the green line will be drawn at 18,500
Blue Line - Evolving Midpoint
Represents the dynamic midpoint between the range high and range low
This line continuously recalculates as new highs or lows are made within the time window
Calculation: Midpoint = (Range High + Range Low) / 2
Evolution example:
At 08:50, range is 18,480 (low) to 18,520 (high), midpoint = 18,500
At 08:55, price makes new high of 18,540, midpoint updates to 18,510
At 09:02, price makes new low of 18,470, midpoint updates to 18,505
The line visually adjusts up and down as the range expands
Extension: The line extends horizontally from the start of the range to the current bar (or end of range)
This gives traders a visual reference for the "fair value" or equilibrium point of the range
Red Line - Close Price
Represents the close price of the most recent candle within the time window
This line updates continuously with each new bar's close price
Extends horizontally across the range
When the range completes (exits the time window), it shows the final close price of the last bar in the range
Example: As price moves from 08:50 to 09:09, the red line will track the close of each candle: 18,505 → 18,510 → 18,508 → 18,515, etc.
This indicator provides a sophisticated visual framework for analyzing specific time-based price behavior. The evolving midpoint (blue line and optional yellow plot) is particularly powerful because it gives you real-time feedback on where the "fair value" of the range is as it develops, allowing you to make informed decisions about whether price is extended or returning to equilibrium. The three-line system (open/mid/close) creates a complete picture of price action within each critical time window, whether you're using standard hourly analysis or focusing on ICT's specific macro times.
TASC 2025.12 The One Euro Filter█ OVERVIEW
This script implements the One Euro filter, developed by Georges Casiez, Nicolas Roussel, and Daniel Vogel, and adapted by John F. Ehlers in his article "Low-Latency Smoothing" from the December 2025 edition of the TASC Traders' Tips . The original creators gave the filter its name to suggest that it is cheap and efficient, like something one might purchase for a single Euro.
█ CONCEPTS
The One Euro filter is an EMA-based low-pass filter that adapts its smoothing factor (alpha) based on the absolute values of smoothed rates of change in the source series. It was designed to filter noisy, high-frequency signals in real time with low latency. Ehlers simplifies the filter for market analysis by calculating alpha in terms of bar periods rather than time and frequency, because periods are naturally intuitive for a discrete financial time series.
In his article, Ehlers demonstrates how traders can apply the adaptive One Euro filter to a price series for simple low-latency smoothing. Additionally, he explains that traders can use the filter as a smoothed oscillator by applying it to a high-pass filter. In essence, similar to other low-pass filters, traders can apply the One Euro filter to any custom source to derive a smoother signal with reduced noise and low lag.
This script applies the One Euro filter to a specified source series, and it applies the filter to a two-pole high-pass filter or other oscillator, depending on the selected "Osc type" option. By default, it displays the filtered source series on the main chart pane, and it shows the oscillator and its filtered series in a separate pane.
█ INPUTS
Source: The source series for the first filter and the selected oscillator.
Min period: The minimum cutoff period for the smoothing calculation.
Beta: Controls the responsiveness of the filter. The filter adds the product of this value and the smoothed source change to the minimum period to determine the filter's smoothing factor. Larger values cause more significant changes in the maximum cutoff period, resulting in a smoother response.
Osc type: The type of oscillator to calculate for the pane display. By default, the indicator calculates a high-pass filter. If the selected type is "None", the indicator displays the "Source" series and its filtered result in a separate pane rather than showing the filter on the main chart. With this setting, users can pass plotted values from another indicator and view the filtered result in the pane.
Period: The length for the selected oscillator's calculation.
