SMART STRUCTURE PRO
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
A comprehensive market structure analysis tool that identifies institutional trading
patterns and smart money concepts for improved trade timing and decision-making.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📊 WHAT IT DOES
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
This indicator automatically detects and visualizes key market structure elements:
🔹 BOS (Break of Structure)
- Identifies trend continuation patterns
- Marks when price breaks above previous highs (bullish) or below previous lows (bearish)
- Confirms trend strength and momentum
🔹 CHoCH (Change of Character)
- Detects potential trend reversals
- Alerts when market structure shifts from bullish to bearish or vice versa
- Helps identify early reversal opportunities
🔹 Order Blocks
- Highlights institutional entry zones
- Identifies the last opposite candle before a structure break
- Shows areas where smart money likely entered positions
🔹 Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
- Detects price imbalances and inefficiencies
- Shows areas where price moved rapidly leaving gaps
- Often act as support/resistance when retested
🔹 Liquidity Zones
- Marks swing high and low levels
- Identifies areas where stop losses likely cluster
- Shows potential stop hunt and liquidity grab zones
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 HOW TO USE
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
BULLISH SETUP:
1. Wait for Bullish CHoCH (trend reversal signal) or BOS ↑ (continuation)
2. Look for price to pull back into an Order Block or Fair Value Gap
3. Enter long when price bounces from these zones
4. Place stop loss below the Order Block
5. Target the next liquidity zone or resistance level
BEARISH SETUP:
1. Wait for Bearish CHoCH (trend reversal signal) or BOS ↓ (continuation)
2. Look for price to retrace into an Order Block or Fair Value Gap
3. Enter short when price rejects from these zones
4. Place stop loss above the Order Block
5. Target the next liquidity zone or support level
DASHBOARD INTERPRETATION:
• Trend: Current market direction (Bullish/Bearish)
• Volume: Confirmation strength (High volume = stronger signals)
• Signal: Latest structure break detected
• Key High/Low: Critical levels for the current trend
• Position: Price location (Premium = expensive, Discount = cheap)

📚 CONCEPTS EXPLAINED
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
MARKET STRUCTURE:
Market structure refers to the pattern of price movements creating swing highs
and lows. Understanding structure helps identify trend direction and potential
reversal points.
SMART MONEY CONCEPTS:
These are trading techniques based on tracking institutional order flow and
understanding where large players (banks, funds, institutions) enter and exit
positions.
ORDER BLOCKS:
The last opposing candle before a strong directional move. Institutions often
leave unfilled orders in these zones, which can act as support/resistance when
price returns.
FAIR VALUE GAPS:
Areas where price moved so quickly that it left an imbalance. These gaps often
get "filled" as price returns to find equilibrium, creating trading opportunities.

Outside Candle Session Breakout [CHE]Outside Candle Session Breakout
Session - anchored HTF levels for clear market-structure and precise breakout context
Summary
This indicator is a relevant market-structure tool. It anchors the session to the first higher-timeframe bar, then activates only when the second bar forms an outside condition. Price frequently reacts around these anchors, which provides precise breakout context and a clear overview on both lower and higher timeframes. Robustness comes from close-based validation, an adaptive volatility and tick buffer, first-touch enforcement, optional retest, one-signal-per-session, cooldown, and an optional trend filter.
Pine version: v6. Overlay: true.
Motivation: Why this design?
Short-term breakout tools often trigger during noise, duplicate within the same session, or drift when volatility shifts. The core idea is to gate signals behind a meaningful structure event: a first-bar anchor and a subsequent outside bar on the session timeframe. This narrows attention to structurally important breaks while adaptive buffering and debouncing reduce false or mid-run triggers.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline: Simple high-low breaks or fixed buffers without session context.
Architecture: Session-anchored first-bar high/low; outside-bar gate; close-based confirmation with an adaptive ATR and tick buffer; first-touch enforcement; optional retest window; one-signal-per-session and cooldown; optional EMA trend and slope filter; higher-timeframe aggregation with lookahead disabled; themeable visuals and a range fill between levels.
Practical effect: Cleaner timing at structurally relevant levels, fewer redundant or late triggers, and better multi-timeframe situational awareness.
How it works (technical)
The chart timeframe is mapped to an analysis timeframe and a session timeframe.
The first session bar defines the anchor high and low. The setup becomes active only after the next bar forms an outside range relative to that first bar.
While active, the script tracks these anchors and checks for a breakout beyond a buffered threshold, using closing prices or wicks by preference.
The buffer scales with volatility and is limited by a minimum tick floor. First-touch enforcement avoids mid-run confirmations.
Optional retest requires a pullback to the raw anchor followed by a new close beyond the buffered level within a user window.
Optional trend gating uses an EMA on the analysis timeframe, including an optional slope requirement and price-location check.
Higher-timeframe data is requested with lookahead disabled. Values can update during a forming higher-timeframe bar; waiting and confirmation mitigate timing shifts.
Parameter Guide
Enable Long / Enable Short — Direction toggles. Default: true / true. Reduces unwanted side.
Wait Candles — Minimum bars after outside confirmation before entries. Default: five. More waiting increases stability.
Close-based Breakout — Confirm on candle close beyond buffer. Default: true. For wick sensitivity, disable.
ATR Buffer — Enables adaptive volatility buffer. Default: true.
ATR Multiplier — Buffer scaling. Default: zero point two. Increase to reduce noise.
Ticks Buffer — Minimum buffer in ticks. Default: two. Protects in quiet markets.
Cooldown Bars — Blocks new signals after a trigger. Default: three.
One Signal per Session — Prevents duplicates within a session. Default: true.
Require Retest — Pullback to raw anchor before confirming. Default: false.
Retest Window — Bars allowed for retest completion. Default: five.
HTF Trend Filter — EMA-based gating. Default: false.
EMA Length — EMA period. Default: two hundred.
Slope — Require EMA slope direction. Default: true.
Price Above/Below EMA — Require price location relative to EMA. Default: true.
Show Levels / Highlight Session / Show Signals — Visual controls. Default: true.
Color Theme — “Blue-Green” (default), “Monochrome”, “Earth Tones”, “Classic”, “Dark”.
Time Period Box — Visibility, size, position, and colors for the info box. (Optional)
Reading & Interpretation
The two level lines represent the session’s first-bar high and low. The filled band illustrates the active session range.
“OUT” marks that the outside condition is confirmed and the setup is live.
“LONG” or “SHORT” appears only when the breakout clears buffer, debounce, and optional gates.
Background tint indicates sessions where the setup is valid.
Alerts fire on confirmed long or short breakout events.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend-following: Keep close-based validation, ATR buffer near the default, one-signal-per-session enabled; add EMA trend and slope for directional bias.
Retest confirmation: Enable retest with a short window to prioritize cleaner continuation after a pullback.
Lower-timeframe scalping: Reduce waiting and cooldown slightly; keep a small tick buffer to filter micro-whips.
Swing and position context: Increase ATR multiplier and waiting; maintain once-per-session to limit duplicates.
Timeframe Tiers and Trader Profiles
The script adapts its internal mapping based on the chart timeframe:
Under fifteen minutes → Analysis: one minute; Session: sixty minutes. Useful for scalpers and high-frequency intraday reads.
Between fifteen and under sixty minutes → Analysis: fifteen minutes; Session: one day. Suits day traders who need intraday alignment to the daily session.
Between sixty minutes and under one day → Analysis: sixty minutes; Session: one week. Serves intraday-to-swing transitions and end-of-day planning.
Between one day and under one week → Analysis: two hundred forty minutes; Session: two weeks. Fits swing traders who monitor multi-day structure.
Between one week and under thirty days → Analysis: one day; Session: three months. Supports position traders seeking quarterly context.
Thirty days and above → Analysis: one day; Session: twelve months. Provides a broad annual anchor for macro context.
These tiers are designed to keep anchors meaningful across regimes while preserving responsiveness appropriate to the trader profile.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Signals can be validated on closed bars through close-based logic; enabling this reduces intrabar flicker.
Higher-timeframe values may evolve during a forming bar; waiting parameters and the outside-bar gate reduce, but do not remove, this effect.
Resource footprint is light; the script uses standard indicators and a single higher-timeframe request per stream.
Known limits: rare setups during very quiet periods, sensitivity to gaps, and reduced reliability on illiquid symbols.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with close-based validation on, ATR buffer on with a multiplier near zero point two, tick buffer two, cooldown three, once-per-session on.
Too many flips: increase the ATR multiplier and cooldown; consider enabling the EMA filter and slope.
Too sluggish: reduce the ATR multiplier and waiting; disable retest.
Choppy conditions: keep close-based validation, increase tick buffer, shorten the retest window.

Z-Candle Range 4U [ZuperView]Z-Candle Range 4U helps you quickly spot the strongest and weakest candles among the last “n” bars, based on both the full range (High-Low) and body length (Open-Close).
A simple yet highly effective tool to instantly visualize market volatility and imbalance.
In trading, not all candles carry the same weight. Some reveal the footprints of major money flows, while others are just minor market noise.
Z-Candle Range 4U highlights these extreme candles directly on your chart, providing a clear view of where volatility is expanding or contracting.
You simply select the number of bars to analyze (n), and the indicator automatically identifies:
The candle with the largest High-Low range (Max Range) → signals strong volatility
The candle with the smallest High-Low range (Min Range) → signals price compression
The candle with the longest Open-Close body (Max Body) → indicates the strongest directional push
The candle with the shortest Open-Close body (Min Body) → indicates hesitation or market balance
📌 Ideal for:
Detecting volatility shifts before breakouts or reversals
Spotting strong momentum signals, including breakout or impulse bars
Identifying accumulation phases and low-volatility periods, useful for breakout strategies
Recognizing market pauses and decision-making zones, often preceding major moves
Analyzing momentum structure and energy of each price swing
Integrating into visual strategies for easy interpretation of market behavior
📌 Key use cases:
Detect volatility shifts before breakouts or reversals:
When candle ranges (High-Low) expand unusually after a compression phase, it often signals returning volatility. Z-Candle Range 4U makes this expansion clear, helping you prepare for upcoming breakouts or reversals.
Spot strong momentum candles (breakouts or impulse bars):
When a candle has the longest body (Max Body) in the cycle, it often reflects a powerful push from either buyers or sellers. These are impulse bars – where momentum bursts – signaling the start of a strong price swing or a high-probability breakout.
Detect accumulation phases and low-volatility periods:
When the indicator identifies candles with the smallest ranges, it indicates that volatility is contracting, and the market is storing energy. This “calm before the storm” phase is highly valuable for preparing and timing breakout setups.
Recognize market pauses and indecision zones:
Small-bodied candles with relatively wide ranges reflect hesitation and struggle between buyers and sellers. The indicator highlights these zones, which often precede significant moves.
Analyze momentum structure and energy of each swing:
Comparing candle sizes allows you to measure the strength of each price wave. Shrinking candles indicate weakening momentum, while gradually expanding candles suggest trend consolidation.
Integrate into visual strategies for easy market reading:
Z-Candle Range 4U highlights extreme candles directly on your chart, allowing traders to interpret price behavior visually. No complex calculations are needed to sense volatility, momentum, and structural changes accurately.
Additionally, the indicator includes alerts to notify you when extreme candles appear, even when you’re away from the chart.
黄金专用LPPL特征检测(Log-Periodic Power Law Singularity)专门用于黄金走势的LPPL检测,在技术分析中,LPPL 奇点指的是对数周期幂律奇异性(Log-Periodic Power Law Singularity),它是对数周期幂律模型(LPPL)中的一个关键概念。以下是关于它的详细介绍:
提出者及背景:LPPL 模型是由研究市场泡沫的先驱者、物理学家迪迪埃・索尔内特(Didier Sornette)等人提出的。该模型结合了理性预期泡沫的经济理论、投资者的模仿和羊群行为的行为金融学以及分岔和相变的数学统计物理学,用于检测金融市场中的泡沫和预测市场转折点。
模型原理:LPPL 模型假设当市场出现泡沫时,资产价格会呈现出一种特殊的波动模式,这种模式由正反馈机制驱动。在泡沫形成过程中,投资者的模仿和跟风行为导致市场参与者的一致性和协同性急剧上升,价格出现 “快于指数” 的增长,同时伴随着加速的对数周期振荡。而 LPPL 奇点就是价格增长和振荡达到极限的那个有限时间点,在这个点之前,价格增长越来越快,振荡频率也越来越高,当到达奇点时,泡沫破裂,市场往往会出现急剧的反转和崩盘。
数学表达:LPPL 模型的数学公式较为复杂,其原始形式提出了一个由 3 个线性参数和 4 个非线性参数组成的函数。通过将这个函数与对数价格时间序列进行拟合,可以估计出模型的参数,进而确定奇点的时间位置等信息。
在金融市场中的应用:LPPL 模型及其中的奇点概念主要用于检测金融市场中的泡沫和预测市场的崩溃点。例如,在 2008 年石油价格泡沫和 2009 年上海股市泡沫等事件中,该模型都被用于分析和预测市场的转折点。不过,该模型也存在一定的局限性,比如对奇点具体点位的预测误差较大,而且市场情况复杂多变,可能会有强大的外力干扰等因素影响模型的准确性。
The LPPL model was proposed by physicist Didier Sornette, a pioneer in the study of market bubbles, and others. The model combines the economic theory of rational expectations bubbles, behavioral finance on investor imitation and herding behavior, and the mathematical statistical physics of bifurcations and phase transitions to detect bubbles in financial markets and predict market turning points.
Model Principle: The LPPL model posits that when a market bubble forms, asset prices exhibit a distinctive pattern of fluctuation driven by a positive feedback mechanism. During the bubble's formation, investors' imitation and bandwagon-following behavior lead to a sharp increase in consistency and coordination among market participants, resulting in "faster-than-exponential" price growth accompanied by accelerating logarithmic-periodic oscillations. The LPPL singularity is the finite point in time where price growth and oscillation reach their limits. Prior to this point, prices grow increasingly faster, and the frequency of oscillations increases. When the singularity is reached, the bubble bursts, and the market often experiences a sharp reversal and crash.
Volume Biased CandlesVolume Biased Candles
This indicator visualizes the underlying volume polarity of price action by coloring candles based on directional volume bias over a rolling bucket of bars.
Instead of reading price alone, each candle reflects whether buying or selling pressure has dominated within its recent volume structure — giving a more intuitive picture of volume sentiment beneath price movement.
🔹 How it works
Bucket Size (n) → defines how many candles are aggregated to evaluate directional volume bias
For each bucket, total up-volume and down-volume are compared to determine overall market pressure
Volume Bias Score → a continuous ratio from -1 to +1, representing the relative dominance of buyers or sellers
Candles are colored according to the active bias — green for positive (buying), red for negative (selling)
🔹 Use cases
Visualize shifts in market control without needing divergence overlays
Combine with delta divergence or price structure tools to validate entries and exits
Simplify volume and price insights into an intuitive, single-chart visualization
✨ Volume Biased Candles transforms standard candles into a live sentiment gauge, revealing whether the dominant flow behind price movement is bullish or bearish.

Experimental Supertrend [CHE]Experimental Supertrend — Combines EMA crossovers for trend regime detection with an adaptive ATR-based hull that selects the narrowest band to contain recent highs and lows, minimizing false breaks in varying volatility.
Summary
This indicator overlays a dynamic supertrend boundary around a midline derived from dual EMAs, using EMA crossovers to switch between bullish and bearish regimes. The hull adapts by evaluating multiple ATR periods and selecting the tightest one that fully encloses price action over a specified window, which helps in creating more stable trend lines that hug price without excessive gaps or breaches. Fills between the midline and hull provide visual cues for trend strength, darkening temporarily after regime changes to highlight transitions. Alerts trigger on crossovers, and markers label entry points, making it suitable for trend-following setups where standard supertrends might whipsaw. Overall, it offers robustness through auto-adjustment, reducing sensitivity to noise while maintaining responsiveness to genuine shifts.
Motivation: Why this design?
Standard supertrend indicators often flip prematurely in choppy markets due to fixed multipliers that do not account for localized volatility patterns, leading to frequent false signals and eroded confidence in trends. This design addresses that by incorporating an EMA-based regime filter for directional bias and an auto-adaptive hull that dynamically tunes the band width based on recent price containment needs. By prioritizing the narrowest effective enclosure, it avoids over-wide bands in calm periods that cause lag or under-wide ones in volatility spikes that invite breaks, providing a more consistent trailing reference without manual tweaking.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Reference baseline: Diverges from the classic ATR-multiplier supertrend, which uses a single fixed period and constant factor applied to close or high/low deviations.
- Architecture differences:
- Auto-selection from candidate ATR lengths to find the optimal period for current conditions.
- Dynamic multiplier clamped between floor and cap values, adjusted by padding to ensure reliable containment.
- Regime-gated rendering, where hull position flips based on EMA relative positioning.
- Post-transition visual fading to emphasize change points without altering core logic.
- Practical effect: Charts show tighter, more reactive bands that rarely breach during trends, reducing visual clutter from flips; the adaptive nature means less intervention across assets, as the hull self-adjusts to volatility clusters rather than applying a one-size-fits-all scale.
How it works (technical)
The indicator first computes two EMAs from close prices using lengths derived from a preset pair or manual inputs, establishing a midline as their average. This midline serves as the central reference for the hull. True range values are then smoothed into multiple ATR candidates using exponential weighting over the specified lengths. For each candidate, deviations of recent highs and lows from the midline are ratioed against the ATR to determine a required multiplier that would enclose all extremes in the containment window—the highest ratio plus padding sets the base, clamped to user-defined bounds. Among valid candidates (those with sufficient history), the one yielding the narrowest overall band width is selected. The hull boundaries are then offset from the midline by this multiplier times the chosen ATR, and further smoothed with a fixed EMA to reduce jitter. Regime direction from EMA comparison gates which boundary acts as support or resistance, with initialization seeding arrays on the first bar to handle state persistence. No higher timeframe data is used, so all logic runs on the chart's native bars without lookahead.
Parameter Guide
EMA Pair — Selects preset lengths for fast and slow EMAs, influencing regime sensitivity and midline stability. Default: "21/55". Trade-offs/Tips: Faster pairs like "9/21" increase cross frequency for scalping but raise false signals; slower like "50/200" smooths for swings, potentially missing early turns. Use Manual for fine control.
Manual Fast — Sets fast EMA length when Manual mode is active; shorter values make regime switches quicker. Default: 21. Trade-offs/Tips: Lower than 10 risks over-reactivity; pair with slow at least double for clear separation.
Manual Slow — Sets slow EMA length when Manual mode is active; longer values anchor the midline more firmly. Default: 55. Trade-offs/Tips: Above 100 adds lag in trends; balance with fast to avoid perpetual neutrality.
ATR Lengths (comma-separated) — Defines candidate periods for ATR smoothing; more options allow finer auto-selection. Default: "7,10,14,21,28,35". Trade-offs/Tips: Fewer candidates speed computation but may miss optimal fits; keep under 10 for efficiency.
Containment Window — Number of recent bars the hull must fully enclose highs/lows of; larger windows favor stability. Default: 50. Trade-offs/Tips: Shorter (under 20) adapts faster to breaks but increases breach risk; longer smooths but delays response.
Min Multiplier Floor — Lowest allowed multiplier for hull width; prevents overly tight bands in low volatility. Default: 0.5. Trade-offs/Tips: Raise to 0.75 for conservative enclosures; too low allows pinches that flip easily.
Max Multiplier Cap — Highest allowed multiplier; caps expansion in spikes to avoid wide, lagging bands. Default: 1.0. Trade-offs/Tips: Lower to 0.75 tightens overall; higher permits more room but risks detachment from price.
Padding (+) — Adds buffer to the auto-multiplier for safer containment without exact touches. Default: 0.05. Trade-offs/Tips: Increase to 0.10 in gappy markets; minimal values hug closer but may still breach on outliers.
Fill Between (Mid ↔ Supertrend) — Toggles shaded area between midline and active hull for trend visualization. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Disable for cleaner charts; pairs well with transparency tweaks.
Base Fill Transparency (0..100) — Sets default opacity of fills; higher values make them subtler. Default: 80. Trade-offs/Tips: Under 50 overwhelms price action; adjust with darken boost for emphasis.
Darken on Trend Change — Enables temporary opacity increase after regime shifts to spotlight transitions. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Off for steady visuals; on aids spotting reversals in real-time.
Darken Fade Bars — Duration in bars for the darken effect to ramp back to base; longer prolongs highlight. Default: 8. Trade-offs/Tips: Shorter (4-6) for fast-paced charts; longer holds attention on changes.
Darken Boost at Change (Δ transp) — Intensity of opacity reduction at crossover; higher values make shifts more prominent. Default: 50. Trade-offs/Tips: Cap at 70 to avoid blackout; tune down if fades obscure details.
Show Supertrend Line — Displays the active hull boundary as a line. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Hide for fill-only views; linewidth fixed at 3 for visibility.
Show EMA Cross Markers — Places circles and labels at crossover points for entry cues. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Disable in clutter; labels show "Buy"/"Sell" at absolute positions.
Alert: EMA Cross Up (Long) — Triggers notification on bullish crossover. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Pair with filters; once-per-bar frequency.
Alert: EMA Cross Down (Short) — Triggers notification on bearish crossover. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Use for exits; ensure broker integration.
Show Debug — Reveals internal diagnostics like selected ATR details (if implemented). Default: false. Trade-offs/Tips: Enable for troubleshooting selections; minimal overhead.
Reading & Interpretation
Bullish regime shows a green line below price as support, with upward fill from midline; bearish uses red line above as resistance, downward fill. Crossovers flip the active boundary, marked by tiny green/red circles and "Buy"/"Sell" labels at the hull level. Fills start at base transparency but darken sharply at changes, fading over the specified bars to signal fresh momentum. If the hull rarely breaches during trends, containment is effective; frequent touches without flips indicate tight adaptation. Debug mode (when enabled) overlays text or plots for selected length and multiplier, helping verify auto-choices.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend following: Enter long on green "Buy" label above prior low structure; confirm with higher high. Trail stops along the green hull line, tightening as fills stabilize post-fade.
- Exits/Stops: Conservative exit on opposite crossover or hull breach; aggressive hold until fade completes if volume supports. Use darken boost as a volatility cue—high delta suggests waiting for confirmation.
- Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults suit forex/stocks on 15m-4h; for crypto, widen containment to 75 for gaps. Layer on volume oscillator for cross filters; avoid on low-liquidity assets where ATR candidates skew.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Closed-bar logic ensures signals confirm at bar end, with live bars updating hull adaptively but no repaints since no future data or security calls are used. Arrays persist ATR states across bars, initialized once with candidates parsed from string. Small fixed loops (over 6 lengths max, inner up to 50) run per bar, capped by max_bars_back=500 for history needs. Resources stay low with 500 labels/lines limits, but dense charts may hit on markers. Known limits include initial lag until containment history builds (50+ bars), potential wide bands on gaps, and suboptimal selections if candidates omit ideal lengths.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with "21/55" pair, 50-window, 0.5-1.0 multipliers, and 80% transparency for balanced responsiveness on daily charts. For too many flips, raise min floor to 0.75 or add lengths like "42"; for sluggishness, shorten window to 30 or pick faster pair. In high-vol environments, boost padding to 0.10; for smoother visuals, extend fade bars to 12.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a visualization and signal layer for trend regime and adaptive boundaries, aiding entry/exit timing in directional markets. It is not a standalone system—pair with price structure, risk sizing, and broader context. Not predictive of turns, just reactive to containment and crosses.

CVD Candles + Divergence (Pane) [NIRALA]This indicator provides a powerful way to analyze market dynamics by visualizing Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) as candlesticks and automatically detecting divergences between price and order flow. It is designed to help traders spot potential trend exhaustion and reversals that may not be apparent from price action alone.
Key Concepts
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD): CVD is a running total of the difference between buying and selling volume from market orders. A rising CVD indicates aggressive buying, while a falling CVD indicates aggressive selling. Unlike price, which can be influenced by passive limit orders, CVD shows the raw intent of aggressive market participants.
Divergence: A divergence occurs when price and CVD move in opposite directions. This signals a potential conflict between price action and the underlying order flow, often preceding a reversal.
Bearish Divergence: Price makes a new high, but CVD fails to make a new high (or makes a lower high). This suggests buying aggression is weakening despite the higher price, and a reversal to the downside may be imminent.
Bullish Divergence: Price makes a new low, but CVD fails to make a new low (or makes a higher low). This suggests selling pressure is drying up, and a reversal to the upside may be coming.
Features
CVD as Candlesticks: Plots CVD in a familiar OHLC candlestick format in a separate pane, providing a more intuitive view of order flow momentum and volatility compared to a simple line.
Automatic Divergence Detection: The script automatically identifies classic bullish and bearish divergences between price pivots and CVD pivots, drawing lines on both the main price chart and the indicator pane to clearly highlight them.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Calculates CVD from a user-defined lower timeframe, offering a more granular and precise view of the order flow that builds up a single candle on your chart.
Customizable Pivot Lookbacks: Allows you to adjust the sensitivity of the pivot detection for finding both short-term and long-term divergences.
Alerts: Includes built-in alerts that can notify you when a new bullish or bearish divergence is confirmed.
How to Use
Look for High-Probability Setups: This indicator is most powerful when its signals appear at key areas of support or resistance. A divergence at a major price level is a much stronger signal than one in the middle of a range.
Confirm with Price Action: Do not trade on a divergence signal alone. Wait for a confirmation candle (e.g., a bearish engulfing candle after a bearish divergence, or a bullish hammer after a bullish divergence) before considering an entry.
Combine with Your Strategy: Use this indicator as a confirmation tool to enhance your existing trading strategy. For example, if your primary strategy gives a sell signal and this indicator simultaneously prints a bearish divergence, it significantly increases the probability of the trade.
This tool is designed for discretionary traders looking to add a layer of order flow analysis to their decision-making process.

HTF Fibonacci on intraday ChartThis indicator plots Higher Timeframe (HTF) Fibonacci retracement levels directly on your intraday chart, allowing you to visualize how the current price action reacts to key retracement zones derived from the higher timeframe trend.
Concept
Fibonacci retracement levels are powerful tools used to identify potential support and resistance zones within a price trend.
However, these levels are often calculated on a higher timeframe (like Daily or Weekly), while most traders execute entries on lower timeframes (like 15m, 30m, or 1H).
This indicator bridges that gap — it projects the higher timeframe’s Fibonacci levels onto your current intraday chart, helping you see where institutional reactions or swing pivots might occur in real time.
How It Works
Select the Higher Timeframe (HTF)
You can choose which higher timeframe the Fibonacci structure is derived from — default is Daily.
Define the Lookback Period
The script looks back over the chosen number of bars on the higher timeframe to find the highest high and lowest low — the base for Fibonacci calculations.
Plots Key Fibonacci Levels Automatically:
0% (Low)
23.6%
38.2%
50.0%
61.8%
78.6%
100% (High)
Dynamic Labels
Each Fibonacci level is labelled on the latest bar, updating in real time as new data forms on the higher timeframe.
Best Used For
Intraday traders who want to align lower-timeframe entries with higher-timeframe structure.
Swing traders confirming price reactions around major Fibonacci retracement zones.
Contextual analysis for pullback entries, breakout confirmations, or retests of key levels.
Recommended Settings
Higher Timeframe: Daily (for intraday analysis)
Lookback: 50 bars (adjust based on volatility)
Combine with MACD, RSI, CPR, or Pivots for confluence.

X 4H ORThis indicator plots the 30-second opening range (high/low) for six New-York–time anchors—2am, 6am, 10am, 2pm, 6pm, and 10pm—and extends each box to a fixed end time (e.g., 2am→9am, 6am→1pm, etc.). It samples true 30-second data regardless of the chart timeframe, so the captured highs/lows are precise.
What it does
Builds the first 30s OR for each selected anchor and draws a time-anchored box for that session.
Archives every day’s boxes (up to a cap) so you can study how price interacts with past ranges.
Adds per-anchor show toggles to display the latest box for that anchor.
Adds a global History toggle to show/hide all archived boxes without deleting them (clean view vs. context view).
Uses borderless, color-coded fills per anchor to avoid edge distortion while keeping levels easy to read.
Why it’s useful
Quickly spot session inflection zones where liquidity, breakouts, or reversals cluster.
Compare how current price trades relative to recent session ranges for bias and risk framing.
Perform lightweight post-session review/backtesting on OR breaks, retests, and range rotations.
Keep charts decluttered on demand (latest only), or flip on history for deeper context.
Buy Sell Signals MKSConditions for Buying is Current candle a0 LOW = OPEN, b) Has a smaller wick than the previous cabndle size. Size here means high minus low of previous candle. More importantly Buy signal is genarated if the prious candle or series of candles were red. Condition for Sell signal is completely opposite of Buy signal. Buy signal will appear only after a Sell signal was generated earlier and vice versa for Sell signal. Signals are generated on a 5 minute timeframe. Idea is solely concieived by me.
Disclaimer: Just donot blindly take trades based on signals. Analyse the chart pattern, price action on different time frames of your own...

Smart BUY/SELL Pop IndicatorSmart BUY/SELL Indicator
This indicator shows BUY and SELL labels directly on your TradingView chart. Green labels indicate potential upward moves, and red labels indicate potential downward moves.
How it works
It uses two moving averages: a fast (9-period) and a slow (21-period). A BUY signal appears when the fast MA crosses above the slow MA, and a SELL signal appears when it crosses below.
Why it’s useful
It gives a visual guide for entry and exit points without alert messages. Accuracy can improve by adding filters like RSI or MACD.

Dollar Volume Ownership Gauge Dollar Volume Ownership Gauge (DVOG)
By: Mando4_27
Version: 1.0 — Pine Script® v6
Overview
The Dollar Volume Ownership Gauge (DVOG) is designed to measure the intensity of real money participation behind each price bar.
Instead of tracking raw share volume, this tool converts every bar’s trading activity into dollar volume (price × volume) and highlights the transition points where institutional capital begins to take control of a move.
DVOG’s mission is simple:
Show when the crowd is trading vs. when the institutions are buying control.
Core Concept
Most retail traders focus on share count (volume) — but institutions think in dollar exposure.
A small-cap printing a 1-million-share candle at $1 is very different from a 1-million-share candle at $10.
DVOG normalizes this by displaying total traded dollar value per bar, then color-codes and alerts when the volume of money crosses key thresholds.
This exposes the exact moments when ownership is shifting — often before major breakouts, reclaims, or exhaustion reversals.
How It Works
Dollar Volume Calculation
Each candle’s dollar volume is computed as close × volume.
Data is aggregated from the 5-minute timeframe regardless of your current chart, allowing consistent institutional-flow detection on any resolution.
Threshold Logic
Two customizable levels define interest zones:
$500K Threshold → Early or moderate institutional attention.
$1M Threshold → High-conviction or aggressive accumulation.
Both levels can be edited to fit different market caps or trading styles.
Bar Coloring Scheme
Red = Dollar Volume ≥ $1,000,000 → Significant institutional activity / control bar.
Green = Dollar Volume ≥ $500,000 and < $1,000,000 → Emerging accumulation / transition bar.
Black = Below $500,000 → Retail or low-interest zone.
(Colors are intentionally inverted from standard expectation: when volume intensity spikes, the bar turns hotter in tone.)
Plot Display
Histogram style plot displays 5-minute aggregated dollar volume per bar.
Dotted reference lines mark $500K and $1M levels, with live right-hand labels for quick reading.
Optional debug label shows current bar’s dollar value, closing price, and raw volume for transparency.
Alerts & Conditions
DVOG includes three alert triggers for hands-off monitoring:
Alert Name Trigger Message Purpose
Green Bar Alert – Dollar Volume ≥ $500K When dollar volume first crosses $500K “Institutional interest starting on ” Signals early money entering.
Dollar Volume ≥ $500K Same as above, configurable “Early institutional interest detected…” Broad alert option.
Dollar Volume ≥ $1M When dollar volume first crosses $1M “Significant money flow detected…” Indicates heavy institutional presence or ignition bar.
You can enable or disable alerts via checkbox inputs, allowing you to monitor just the levels that fit your style.
Interpretation & Use Cases
Identify Institutional “Ignition” Points:
Watch for sudden green or red DVOG bars after long low-volume consolidation — these often precede explosive continuation moves.
Confirm Breakouts & Reclaims:
If price reclaims a key level (HOD, neckline, or coil top) and DVOG flashes green/red, odds strongly favor follow-through.
Spot Trap Exhaustion:
After a flush or low-volume fade, the first strong green/red DVOG bar can mark the institutional reclaim — the moment retail control ends.
Filter Noise:
Ignore standard volume spikes. DVOG only reacts when dollar ownership materially changes hands, not when small traders churn shares.
Customization
Setting Default Description
$500K Threshold 500,000 Lower limit for “Green” institutional attention.
$1M Threshold 1,000,000 Upper limit for “Red” heavy institutional control.
Show Alerts ✅ Enable or disable global alerts.
Alert on Green Bars ✅ Toggle only the $500K crossover alerts.
Adjust thresholds to match the liquidity of your preferred tickers — for example, micro-caps may use $100K/$300K, while large-caps might use $5M/$20M.
Reading the Output
Black baseline = Noise / retail chop.
First Green bar = Smart money starts building position.
Red bar(s) = Ownership shift confirmed — institutions active.
Flat-to-rising pattern in DVOG = Sustained accumulation; often aligns with strong trend continuation.
Summary
DVOG transforms raw volume into actionable context — showing you when capital, not hype, is moving.
It’s particularly effective for:
Momentum and breakout traders
Liquidity trap reclaims (Kuiper-style setups)
Identifying early ignition bars before halts
Confirming frontside strength in micro-caps
Use DVOG as your ownership radar — the visual cue for when the market stops being retail and starts being real.
