Zones of Support and Resistance can feel like drawing boxes on the chart. This indicator to help spot areas of possible reversal. It uses Volume Confirmation and Body-to-Wick Ratio to do this and defined as:
1. Volume Confirmation
High Volume: A candle that absorbs sitting limit orders is often accompanied with higher than average volume. The indicator define this type of candle if it has a volume is greater than 250%/350% of the average volume over the last 10 candles.
2. Body-to-Wick Ratio
Body vs. Wick: A candle with a small body and large wicks can indicate higher probability of reversal. You can define an absorption candle if the body of the candle is less than 50% of the total range (high-low).
These settings are also customizable to your own desired settings and should be used as a visual aid.
Cave Diving 3 Lines System
🤿 Cave Diving Dashboard - A Deep Dive into Market Structure
## The Cave Diving Analogy
Imagine you're a cave diver exploring underwater caverns. As you descend deeper, you encounter different layers of the cave system:
- **The Surface (Internal Levels)** - Where you currently are, constantly shifting with each breath
- **The First Chamber (De Novo Levels)** - Your last known safe position, recently established
- **Deep Caverns (External Levels)** - Ancient, untouched chambers deeper in the system
Just as a cave diver must constantly monitor their position relative to these reference points, traders must track price action against key structural levels.
---
## 🎯 Understanding the Three-Tiered System
### 📍 **INTERNAL LEVELS** (Current 15m Candle)
*Your real-time position in the market*
**Internal High** 🟡 - The highest point reached in the current unfinished 15-minute candle
**Internal Low** 🟢 - The lowest point reached in the current unfinished 15-minute candle
**Think of these as:**
- Your current depth while actively diving
- They update continuously as price moves
- Status shows "Updating" when actively changing, "Intact" when stable
- These are NOT trade levels—they're awareness zones
**Key Insight:** When Internal Low drops below De Novo Low, you're in **Situation A** (bearish pressure building)—the indicator highlights this with red coloring.
---
### 🎯 **DE NOVO LEVELS** (Previous Closed 15m Candle)
*Your most recent confirmed safe zone*
**De Novo High** 🔵 - The high of the last completed 15-minute candle
**De Novo Low** 🟣 - The low of the last completed 15-minute candle
**Etymology:** "De Novo" = Latin for "from new" or "anew"—these are freshly established reference points
**Think of these as:**
- The last solid ground you stood on
- Your most recent confirmed position
- The bridge between where you are (Internal) and where you've been (External)
**Status Tracking:**
- **⬆️ Upgrade** - Level moved favorably (Higher high for resistance, Higher low for support)
- **⬇️ Downgrade** - Level moved unfavorably (Lower high, Lower low)
- **= Same** - No structural change from previous candle
**Trading Significance:**
- Primary reference points for intraday structure
- Breaking De Novo levels often signals directional commitment
- Can merge with External Level 1 when they align (shown as "DN🟰Ext1")
---
### ⛽🤿 **EXTERNAL LEVELS** (Unmitigated Historical 15m Levels)
*Deep liquidity pools waiting to be discovered*
**External High 1 & 2** 🟢🔵 - The two most recent unmitigated 15m highs
**External Low 1 & 2** 🟠🌸 - The two most recent unmitigated 15m lows
**Think of these as:**
- Untouched chambers in the cave system
- Liquidity pools that smart money is targeting
- Levels that "remember" and attract price
**What Makes a Level "Unmitigated"?**
- **Highs**: Price has NOT yet traded through them (broken above)
- **Lows**: Price has NOT yet swept them (broken below)
- Once touched, they're "mitigated" and removed from tracking
- The indicator automatically maintains the two most recent unmitigated levels
**Why "External"?**
They exist outside your current candle structure—historical reference points that institutions use for:
- Stop loss placement
- Profit taking targets
- Liquidity hunting zones
---
## 🎨 Color Coding System
### HIGHS (Resistance/Targets) - Cool Colors
- 🔵 **Ext High 2** - Light Blue (Distant target)
- 🟢 **Ext High 1** - Lime Green (Primary target)
- 🔵 **De Novo High** - Cyan (Recent resistance)
- 🟡 **Internal High** - Lemon Yellow (Current ceiling)
### LOWS (Support/Stops) - Warm Colors
- 🟢 **Internal Low** - Lime (Current floor)
- 🟣 **De Novo Low** - Purple (Recent support)
- 🟠 **Ext Low 1** - Orange-Red (Primary stop zone)
- 🌸 **Ext Low 2** - Pink (Distant support)
---
## 📊 Dashboard Breakdown
### The Table Shows:
1. **Level** - Which level you're tracking
2. **Price** - Exact price of the level
3. **Pts** - Distance from current price (+ above, - below)
4. **Status** - Current state or role of the level
### Special Features:
- **⏰ Countdown Timer** - Shows time remaining until next 15m candle close (next De Novo update)
- **⚠️ Proximity Alerts** - Bottom row warns when within threshold distance of key levels (default: 25 points, adjustable)
---
## 🎯 Trading Applications
### **For Buyers (Going Long):**
- **Entry Zone**: Between De Novo Low and Ext Low 1
- **Stops**: Below Ext Low 1 (or Ext Low 2 for wider stops)
- **Targets**: De Novo High → Ext High 1 → Ext High 2
- **Confirmation**: Internal Low holds above De Novo Low
### **For Sellers (Going Short):**
- **Entry Zone**: Between De Novo High and Ext High 1
- **Stops**: Above Ext High 1 (or Ext High 2 for wider stops)
- **Targets**: De Novo Low → Ext Low 1 → Ext Low 2
- **Warning**: Watch for Situation A (Internal Low < De Novo Low)
### **Risk Management:**
- **DN🟰Ext1** status means De Novo = External 1 (tighter range, use caution)
- Proximity alerts help you avoid chasing price into resistance/support
- "Updating" status on Internal levels = active volatility
- "Upgrade/Downgrade" signals = structural shift in progress
---
## ⚙️ Customization Options
### Lookback Period
- Default: 500 candles (searches 125 hours of 15m data)
- Increase for more historical External levels
- Decrease for focus on recent structure
### Proximity Threshold
- Default: 25 points
- Set based on your instrument's average range
- Lower = tighter alerts (for scalping)
- Higher = strategic warnings (for swing trading)
### Visual Customization
- Line thickness (1-5)
- Line style (Solid/Dashed/Dotted)
- All colors fully customizable
- Show/hide lines independently
---
## 🧭 The Cave Diving Mindset
**Never dive deeper than you can safely return from.**
In trading terms:
- Know your Internal position (real-time awareness)
- Respect your De Novo levels (recent structure)
- Hunt for External liquidity (where the targets are)
- Always have an exit plan (stops below Ext Lows, above Ext Highs)
The market, like a cave, has structure. This indicator illuminates that structure across three timeframes of reference, helping you navigate with precision rather than guessing in the dark.
---
## 🎓 Key Takeaways
1. **Internal** = Real-time, unfinished, awareness only
2. **De Novo** = Just confirmed, primary reference, updates every 15m
3. **External** = Historical, unmitigated, high-probability targets/stops
4. **Upgrades/Downgrades** = Trend signals
5. **DN🟰Ext1** = Structural alignment (tighter range)
6. **Situation A** = Bearish warning (Internal < De Novo Low)
---
## 📝 Credits
*"In cave diving, you plan your dive and dive your plan. In trading, you plan your levels and trade your levels."*
**Indicator:** Cave Diving Dashboard - Part 1: Price Levels
**Timeframe:** Optimized for 15-minute structure on any chart timeframe

Candle Strength Analyzer by The Ultimate Bull Run# Candle Strength Analyzer
## 📊 Complete Beginner's Guide
---
### 🎯 What This Indicator Does
The **Candle Strength Analyzer** measures how "strong" or "weak" each candlestick is and displays a **score from 0 to 100** above or below every candle.
- **Green numbers** = Bullish (price went UP)
- **Red numbers** = Bearish (price went DOWN)
- **Gray numbers** = Doji (price barely moved)
**Higher score = Stronger candle = More reliable signal**
---
### 🕯️ Understanding Candlesticks (The Basics)
If you're new to trading, here's what a candlestick shows:
```
│ ← Upper Wick (prices that were rejected)
│
┌───┐
│ │ ← Body (the "real" price movement)
│ │ • Green/White body = Price went UP (Bullish)
│ │ • Red/Black body = Price went DOWN (Bearish)
└───┘
│
│ ← Lower Wick (prices that were rejected)
```
**Key Terms:**
- **Open**: The price when the candle started
- **Close**: The price when the candle ended
- **High**: The highest price during the candle
- **Low**: The lowest price during the candle
- **Body**: The rectangle between Open and Close
- **Wick/Shadow**: The thin lines above and below the body
---
## 📐 The 4 Components of Candle Strength
This indicator combines **4 measurements** to calculate the final strength score. Let's understand each one:
---
### 1️⃣ Body Ratio (30% of score)
**What it is:**
The percentage of the candle that is "body" versus "wicks."
**Formula:**
```
Body Ratio = Size of Body ÷ Total Candle Size × 100
```
**What it tells you:**
- **High Body Ratio (70-100%)**: Bulls or bears were in FULL control. The price moved in one direction and STAYED there. This is strong.
- **Low Body Ratio (0-30%)**: There was a fight. Price moved up AND down but ended up roughly where it started. This is weak/indecisive.
**Visual Example:**
```
Strong Candle (90% body): Weak Candle (20% body):
│ │
┌───┐ │
│ │ ┌─┴─┐
│ │ ← Mostly body │ │ ← Tiny body
│ │ └─┬─┘
└───┘ │
│ │
```
**How to interpret:**
| Body Ratio | Meaning |
|------------|---------|
| 90-100% | **Marubozu** - Extremely strong, full commitment |
| 70-90% | **Strong** - Clear winner (bulls or bears) |
| 40-70% | **Normal** - Typical market activity |
| 10-40% | **Weak** - Significant indecision |
| 0-10% | **Doji** - Complete indecision, no winner |
---
### 2️⃣ Close Position Score (25% of score)
**What it is:**
WHERE the candle closed within its range (high to low).
**What it tells you:**
- For a **bullish (green) candle**: Closing near the HIGH means buyers were still eager at the end = STRONG
- For a **bearish (red) candle**: Closing near the LOW means sellers were still eager at the end = STRONG
**Visual Example:**
```
Strong Bullish: Weak Bullish:
(closes near high) (closes near middle)
┌───┐ ← Close here │
│ │ ┌─┴─┐ ← Close here
│ │ │ │
│ │ │ │
└───┘ └───┘
│ │
```
**Why it matters:**
If price went UP but then sellers pushed it back down before the candle closed, that's a sign of weakness. The bulls couldn't hold their ground.
**How to interpret:**
| Close Position | For Bullish Candle | For Bearish Candle |
|----------------|-------------------|-------------------|
| 80-100% | Strong (near high) | Weak (near high) |
| 50-80% | Moderate | Moderate |
| 20-50% | Weak | Moderate |
| 0-20% | Very Weak (near low) | Strong (near low) |
---
### 3️⃣ Relative Volume - RVOL (25% of score)
**What is Volume?**
Volume is the NUMBER of shares/contracts traded during that candle. Think of it as "how many people participated."
**What is RVOL?**
RVOL compares TODAY'S volume to the AVERAGE volume.
**Formula:**
```
RVOL = Current Volume ÷ Average Volume (last 20 candles)
```
**What it tells you:**
- **RVOL = 1.0**: Normal activity (same as average)
- **RVOL = 2.0**: DOUBLE the normal activity (2x more traders involved)
- **RVOL = 0.5**: HALF the normal activity (fewer traders involved)
**Why it matters:**
A big price move with LOW volume is suspicious - it might not last.
A big price move with HIGH volume is confirmed - many traders agree.
**Think of it like voting:**
- High volume = Many people voted for this direction
- Low volume = Only a few people voted, decision might change
**How to interpret:**
| RVOL | Meaning | Signal Quality |
|------|---------|----------------|
| 2.0+ | Very High - Institutional activity likely | ⭐⭐⭐ Excellent |
| 1.5-2.0 | High - Significant interest | ⭐⭐ Good |
| 1.0-1.5 | Above Average | ⭐ Acceptable |
| 0.7-1.0 | Below Average | ⚠️ Caution |
| < 0.7 | Low - Lack of interest | ❌ Unreliable |
---
### 4️⃣ Size vs ATR (20% of score)
**What is ATR?**
ATR stands for "Average True Range." It measures how much the price TYPICALLY moves.
**What this component measures:**
How big is THIS candle compared to how big candles USUALLY are?
**Formula:**
```
ATR Ratio = This Candle's Size ÷ Average Candle Size (ATR)
```
**What it tells you:**
- **ATR Ratio = 2.0**: This candle is TWICE as big as normal = Significant move
- **ATR Ratio = 1.0**: This candle is normal sized
- **ATR Ratio = 0.5**: This candle is HALF the normal size = Minor move
**Why it matters:**
A 50-point move in a stock that normally moves 100 points is small.
A 50-point move in a stock that normally moves 20 points is HUGE.
Context matters!
**How to interpret:**
| ATR Ratio | Meaning |
|-----------|---------|
| 2.0+ | **Expansion** - Unusually large move, potential breakout |
| 1.5-2.0 | **Large** - Significant momentum |
| 1.0-1.5 | **Above Average** - Notable move |
| 0.5-1.0 | **Normal** - Typical movement |
| < 0.5 | **Small** - Insignificant, might be noise |
---
## 🧮 How the Final Score is Calculated
The indicator combines all 4 components with these weights:
```
Final Score = (Body Ratio × 30%) +
(Close Position × 25%) +
(RVOL Score × 25%) +
(Size Score × 20%)
```
**Result: A score from 0 to 100**
---
## 📊 Understanding the Strength Score
| Score | Classification | What It Means | Should You Trade It? |
|-------|---------------|---------------|---------------------|
| **70-100** | 🟢 STRONG | High conviction move, reliable signal | ✅ Yes - Good setup |
| **40-70** | 🟡 MODERATE | Average move, needs confirmation | ⚠️ Maybe - Add other indicators |
| **0-40** | 🔴 WEAK | Low conviction, unreliable | ❌ No - Wait for better setup |
---
## 🏷️ Special Pattern Markers
The indicator also detects special candlestick patterns:
### ⚡ Power Candle
**Requirements:**
- Body Ratio > 70% (strong body)
- RVOL > 1.5 (high volume)
- Close Position > 80% (closes near the extreme)
**What it means:** The BEST possible signal. Everything aligns perfectly.
### Ⓜ️ Marubozu
**Requirements:**
- Body Ratio > 90% (almost no wicks)
**What it means:** Complete dominance by bulls or bears. Very strong continuation signal.
### ◆ High Volume Doji
**Requirements:**
- Doji candle (tiny body)
- High volume
**What it means:** Many traders are fighting, but no one won. Often signals a REVERSAL is coming.

---
## 💡 Trading Tips for Beginners
### ✅ DO:
1. **Wait for strong candles (70+)** before entering trades
2. **Confirm with volume** - Look for RVOL > 1.5
3. **Use at support/resistance levels** - Strong candles at key levels are more meaningful
4. **Combine with other indicators** - RSI, MACD, or moving averages
5. **Practice on demo first** - Learn to recognize strong vs weak candles
### ❌ DON'T:
1. **Trade every candle** - Not all candles are worth trading
2. **Ignore volume** - A strong candle with low volume is suspicious
3. **Fight the trend** - Strong bearish candles in an uptrend might just be pullbacks
4. **Over-leverage** - Even strong signals can fail

Price vs Moving Average Cross (Golden & Death Signals)This indicator detects price crossings against multiple moving averages, not crossings between moving averages themselves.
🔹 Core Concept
A Golden Signal occurs when the price (close) crosses above a selected moving average.
A Death Signal occurs when the price (close) crosses below a selected moving average.
⚠️ This is NOT a moving-average-to-moving-average crossover indicator.
It is a price-to-moving-average crossover indicator.
📈 Moving Average Settings
The indicator uses three independent moving averages, each configurable by the user:
1️⃣ Moving Average 1 (Golden Signal)
Default: 20-period
Type: EMA or SMA
Signal:
Price crossing above MA → Golden Signal
2️⃣ Moving Average 2 (Golden Signal)
Default: 50-period
Type: EMA or SMA
Signal:
Price crossing above MA → Golden Signal
3️⃣ Moving Average 3 (Death Signal)
Default: 100-period
Type: EMA or SMA
Signal:
Price crossing below MA → Death Signal
🔔 Signal Logic
Signal Type Condition
Golden Cross 1 Close price crosses above MA 1
Golden Cross 2 Close price crosses above MA 2
Death Cross Close price crosses below MA 3
Each signal is evaluated independently.
📊 Visual Representation
Green Up Arrow → Price crosses above MA 1
Purple Up Arrow → Price crosses above MA 2
Red Down Arrow → Price crosses below MA 3
All moving averages are plotted directly on the price chart.
🎯 Practical Use Cases
Identifying trend initiation points
Confirming pullback breakouts
Acting as an entry timing assistant
Using MA 3 as a trend filter / exit warning
⚠️ Important Notes
This indicator may generate false signals in sideways or ranging markets.
Best used in combination with:
Higher-timeframe trend confirmation
Volume indicators
Support & resistance levels
🧠 Summary
✔️ Price ↔ Moving Average crossover
❌ Moving Average ↔ Moving Average crossover
This indicator is designed for trend-following traders who want clear and simple price confirmation signals.

Liquidity Sweep Sniper AP StyleAP Capital – Liquidity Sweep Sniper (Fab-Style)
📌 Overview
This indicator is a precision scalping tool inspired by professional liquidity-based trading concepts often demonstrated by elite intraday scalpers.
The script focuses on liquidity sweeps followed by strong displacement, aiming to capture short, high-probability momentum moves — particularly effective on lower timeframes (1–5 min) during active market sessions.
It is not a signal spam tool. Signals appear only when multiple objective conditions align.
🧠 Core Concept
Markets do not move randomly — they seek liquidity before expanding.
This indicator identifies:
Buy-side / Sell-side liquidity
Liquidity sweeps (stop-hunts)
Strong displacement candles reclaiming price
Optional higher-timeframe trend alignment
Only when all conditions are met does a signal print.
🔍 What the Indicator Detects
1️⃣ Liquidity Pools
Equal highs or equal lows detected within a configurable lookback
Minimum number of touches required
ATR-based tolerance to adapt to volatility
These levels represent areas where stop orders are likely resting.
2️⃣ Liquidity Sweep
A valid sweep requires:
Price to wick beyond the liquidity level
Candle to close back inside the range
This indicates failed breakout / stop-hunt behaviour.
3️⃣ Displacement Confirmation
After the sweep, the candle must show:
Strong body (default >60% of candle range)
Candle range large relative to ATR
Clear directional intent (momentum)
This filters out weak reactions and chop.
4️⃣ Optional Trend Filter
EMA-based higher-timeframe bias
Helps align scalps with dominant direction
Can be enabled or disabled
📈 Signals
BUY: Sell-side liquidity sweep → bullish displacement
SELL: Buy-side liquidity sweep → bearish displacement
Signals are plotted directly on the chart and can be used with alerts.
⚙️ Recommended Usage
Markets: XAUUSD, indices, liquid FX pairs
Timeframes: 1m–5m
Sessions: London & New York (best performance)
Risk Management: Always required — this tool does not place trades
Best used as a confirmation tool, not standalone.
⚠️ Important Notes
This indicator is inspired by liquidity-based scalping concepts, not an exact replication of any individual trader’s private strategy.
No indicator predicts the future — this tool highlights high-probability scenarios, not guarantees.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Day Color CandlesThe script uses TradingView’s built-in dayofweek value (where Monday = 1 and Sunday = 7) to detect the current bar’s weekday.
For each weekday, a specific color is assigned — green for Monday, blue for Tuesday, purple for Wednesday, orange for Thursday, yellow for Friday, gray for Saturday, and red for Sunday.
Instead of plotting new candles, the script uses barcolor() to recolor the existing chart candles. This avoids conflicts with TradingView’s rule that a script may contain only one main declaration. The price data remains unchanged — only the visual appearance of the candles is modified to help the user visually separate trading days.

Midnight Opening RangeThis script uses the SMC/ICT midnight opening range to gain insight into the daily highs and lows.
It plots the opening range quadrants and the 0.5 and 1 standard deviations higher and lower.
These levels are often used as support/resistance at certain times of the day.
To be used in concert with other PD arrays.
MGC1! Sniper Levels [NY Midnight + PDH/PDL + VWAP]This script, titled "MGC1! Sniper Levels ," is a specialized institutional-grade technical indicator designed for intraday trading on Micro Gold (MGC1!) futures. It merges Time & Price theory with Statistical Volatility to create a comprehensive roadmap for high-probability "Sniper" entries.
Core Technical Components
NY Midnight Pivot: Automatically identifies and plots the New York Midnight opening price. This level serves as the "True Open" for the daily session, helping traders determine whether the market is in a Premium or Discount zone relative to the daily start.
Previous Day Structure (PDH/PDL): Displays the Previous Day’s High and Low using a background security call. These levels are primary targets for Liquidity Sweeps (trapping retail traders) before a reversal occurs.
Advanced Session VWAP: Calculates the Volume Weighted Average Price starting from the session open. Unlike a standard moving average, VWAP represents the true fair value based on actual capital commitment.
Standard Deviation Extensions (SD 1, 2, 3): Plots three layers of volatility bands based on the variance of price and volume.
SD1 & SD2: Act as dynamic support and resistance within normal market conditions.
SD3 (Extreme Zones): Highlights the "Extreme Long" and "Extreme Short" zones, representing areas where 99.7% of price action is statistically contained, often leading to sharp mean-reversion moves.
Key Features & Interface
Customizable Labels: Includes a specific toggle to show or hide Standard Deviation labels. This allows for a cleaner chart when focusing on ICT/SMC price action while maintaining the colored "Zones" for visual context.
Real-Time Vignettes: High-contrast labels appear at the right edge of the price action, providing the exact numerical value of every key level (VWAP, PDH, NY Midnight) for immediate order execution.
Previous VWAP Close: Plots the final VWAP value from the prior session. This level often acts as a magnetic "fair value" target during the current session's open.
Strategic Trading Application
The script is built for the Gold Sniper MGC1! persona to identify "Smart Money" reversals. A typical setup involves waiting for price to reach an SD3 Extreme Zone that coincides with the PDH or PDL. Once the price "sweeps" these levels and shows a Market Structure Shift (MSS) back toward the VWAP, a high-probability trade is triggered.
CVD Divergence Background By HKOverview This indicator visualizes Delta Divergences (also known as Absorption) directly on your main chart. It highlights candles where the price direction contradicts the underlying net volume flow (CVD). This is a powerful method to spot "traps," limit order absorption, and potential reversals.
How it Works The script calculates the Intrabar Volume Delta based on price action relative to the candle's range. It then compares this Delta with the candle's color (Open vs. Close).
Bearish Divergence (Absorption Top):
Scenario: The candle is GREEN (Price closed higher), but the Volume Delta is NEGATIVE (Net Selling).
Visual: Red Background.
Meaning: Sellers are aggressively absorbing the buying pressure via limit orders. Price struggled to rise despite the volume.
Bullish Divergence (Absorption Bottom):
Scenario: The candle is RED (Price closed lower), but the Volume Delta is POSITIVE (Net Buying).
Visual: Green Background.
Meaning: Buyers are aggressively absorbing the selling pressure via limit orders. Price struggled to fall despite the volume.
Features
Background Highlighting: Instantly spot divergences without checking a separate oscillator window.
Seamless Integration: Works perfectly behind your price candles and other indicators (like Big Trade detectors).
Customizable: You can adjust the colors and transparency to fit your chart theme.
Use Case Use this to identify exhausted moves. If you see a green candle with a red background at a resistance level, it suggests that buyers are running into a wall of sellers, increasing the probability of a reversal.
Liquidity Sweep Guardian (Universal % or point based)
Liquidity Sweep Guardian - Complete User Guide
## Overview
The **Liquidity Sweep Guardian** is a visual warning system designed to prevent premature counter-trend trades (fades) near Previous Day High (PDH) and Previous Day Low (PDL) levels. This indicator helps you avoid one of the most common trading mistakes: fading too early before liquidity sweeps complete.
---
## 🎯 Core Trading Principle
### **THE GOLDEN RULE: Don't Fade Until It's Unlocked**
Price often **accelerates into key levels** to sweep liquidity before reversing. Trading against this momentum is extremely dangerous.
**The Process:**
1. **Danger Zone** (Red/White Box) = ⚠️ **DO NOT FADE** - Sweep likely incoming
2. **Sweep Occurs** (Triangle marker appears) = Price penetrates the level
3. **Reclaim Happens** (Price returns above/below level) = Level is tested
4. **🔓 UNLOCKED** (Gold border, green label) = **NOW you may CONSIDER a fade**
> **Important:** "UNLOCKED" means you may now *consider* a fade setup. It is NOT a trade signal itself. You still need your entry confirmation, risk management, and trade plan.
---
## 📊 Visual Elements Explained
### 1. **Danger Zone Boxes (Red Border by Default)**
**Two types of zones around PDH/PDL:**
- **Outer Danger Zone** (White fill): ±75pts (or 0.30%) around the level
- Indicates proximity to a key level where sweeps commonly occur
- Yellow/cautious trading zone
- **Inner Critical Zone** (Black fill): ±25pts (or 0.10%) around the level
- Highest probability area for liquidity sweep traps
- Avoid fading here at all costs
**What to do:**
- When price enters these zones, **wait and watch**
- Do not initiate counter-trend positions
- Allow the sweep to play out
### 2. **Unlocked Zones (Gold Border #ffeb3b)**
When a zone turns **gold/yellow** with green fill:
- The level has been swept AND reclaimed
- The liquidity grab is complete
- You may now look for fade opportunities with proper confirmation
### 3. **PDH/PDL Lines**
- **PDH Line** (Red): Previous Day High with price label
- **PDL Line** (Green): Previous Day Low with price label
- These are your key reference levels for the session
### 4. **Sweep Labels**
**Triangle Markers (SWEEP):**
- **Green Triangle** = Clean sweep (10-25pts penetration)
- **Orange Triangle** = Extended sweep (25-50pts penetration)
- **Red Triangle** = Deep penetration (50+ pts) - likely continuation, not reversal
**Warning Labels:**
- **⚠️ DEEP CONTINUATION?** = Penetration too deep, probably NOT a reversal setup
**Unlock Labels:**
- **🔓 LONG UNLOCKED** = PDL swept and reclaimed, may consider long fades
- **🔓 SHORT UNLOCKED** = PDH swept and reclaimed, may consider short fades

## ⚙️ Settings Guide
### **Calculation Mode**
**Use Percentage Mode (Default: ON)**
- ✅ **Enabled**: Universal mode - works on NQ, ES, RTY, stocks, crypto, forex
- ❌ **Disabled**: Fixed points mode - for specific instruments only
**When to use each:**
- **Percentage Mode**: Trading multiple instruments, or instruments with varying price levels
- **Fixed Points Mode**: Single instrument focus (e.g., only trading NQ at current levels)
### **Danger Zone Settings**
**Percentage Mode (Default for Universal Use):**

- For higher timeframes: Use wider zones
- For lower timeframes: Use tighter zones
### **Sweep Classification**
**What defines a "real" sweep:**
- **Minimum**: 10pts / 0.04% - Shallow penetration may not grab enough liquidity
- **Optimal**: 10-25pts / 0.04-0.10% - "Goldilocks zone" for reversal setups
- **Extended**: 25-50pts / 0.10-0.20% - Deeper sweep, less reliable
- **Continuation**: 50+pts / 0.20%+ - Too deep, likely NOT reversing
**Max Bars for Reclaim**: 5 bars (default)
- Price should reclaim the level relatively quickly
- If it takes too long, the sweep may have failed

## 🎓 Trading Strategy Examples
### **Example 1: Long Setup at PDL**
1. **Morning**: Price approaches PDL (danger zone appears)
2. **Don't Fade Yet**: Price enters critical zone - resist urge to buy
3. **Sweep**: Price drops 15pts below PDL (green triangle appears)
4. **Reclaim**: Price closes back above PDL within 3 bars
5. **🔓 UNLOCKED**: Gold border + "LONG UNLOCKED" label appears
6. **Trade Setup**: Now look for bullish confirmation (order flow, structure, etc.)
### **Example 2: Avoiding a Trap at PDH**
1. **Afternoon**: Price rallies into PDH danger zone
2. **Temptation**: You want to short here (it "looks toppy")
3. **Sweep**: Price breaks 50pts above PDH (red triangle + ⚠️ warning)
4. **Continuation**: Deep penetration suggests continuation, not reversal
5. **Result**: No unlock occurs, price keeps running higher - trap avoided!
### **Example 3: Failed Unlock (No Trade)**
1. Price sweeps PDL by 12pts (green triangle)
2. Price struggles to reclaim PDL, stays below for 10+ bars
3. No "UNLOCKED" label appears
4. **Correct Action**: Do not fade - sweep failed to reclaim

## 💡 Pro Tips
1. **Use on Higher Timeframes**: Works best on 5min, 15min, 1hr charts
2. **Combine with Order Flow**: Use with footprint/delta for confirmation
3. **Watch Volume**: Strong volume on sweep = better reversal potential
4. **Consider Time of Day**: Sweeps during RTH often more reliable
5. **Multiple Timeframes**: Check if higher TF also shows unlock
6. **Don't Force Trades**: Not every session produces clean setups
7. **Journal Results**: Track which unlock types work best for you
8. **Respect Continuation Signals**: When indicator says "too deep," listen

*Remember: The best trade is often the one you don't take. This indicator helps you avoid the trades you shouldn't take, so you can focus on the ones you should.*
Bull/Bear vs Base vs Index (% Change Spread)Visualizes the performance gap ("Beta Decay") between 3x Leveraged ETFs (SOXL/SOXS) and their underlying sector (SOXX), relative to the S&P 500 (SPY).
This indicator is designed for traders who trade leveraged products (like SOXL/SOXS, TQQQ/SQQQ) and need to see true relative strength beyond simple price action.
It calculates the percentage change over a user-defined lookback period for four instruments:
Base (1x): The sector benchmark (Default: SOXX).
Bull (3x): The leveraged long ETF (Default: SOXL).
Bear (-3x): The leveraged inverse ETF (Default: SOXS).
Index: The broad market zero-line (Default: SPY).
It then plots the Spread to reveal the health of the trend:
Bull Spread (Green Line): Bull % - Base %
Bear Spread (Red Line): Bear % - Base %
Base vs Index (Filled Area): Base % - SPY %
🧠 The Logic: Why Use Spreads?
In a perfectly efficient trending market, a 3x Bull ETF should move exactly 300% of the underlying asset. However, in choppy or volatile markets, volatility decay (beta slippage) causes leveraged ETFs to underperform mathematically.
Positive Spread: The leveraged ETF is successfully capturing momentum (The "Sweet Spot").
Negative Spread: The leveraged ETF is suffering from drag or the underlying asset is chopping.
📈 Recommended Trading Plan
Note: This indicator works best as a filter for entry conditions, not a standalone signal. Always use proper risk management.
Strategy A: The "Clean Trend" (Momentum)
Goal: Enter a 3x position only when volatility drag is minimal.
1. Bull Signal:
Condition 1: The Base vs Index (Area) is Green (Sector is outperforming SPY).
Condition 2: The Bull Spread (Green Line) is Positive (> 0).
Why: This confirms the sector is strong AND the 3x ETF is amplifying that move efficiently without decay eating the profits.
2. Bear Signal:
Condition 1: The Base vs Index (Area) is Red (Sector is lagging SPY).
Condition 2: The Bear Spread (Red Line) is Positive (> 0).
Why: This confirms the sector is crashing and the Bear ETF is successfully capturing the downside momentum.
Strategy B: The "Decay Avoidance" (Cash is King)
Goal: Avoid leveraged funds during chop.
Condition: If BOTH the Bull Spread and Bear Spread are Negative (< 0) (below the zero line).
Action: Stay in Cash or trade the 1x underlying (SOXX) only.
Why: When both spreads are negative, it mathematically proves that the market is too choppy for leverage. Both the Long and Short leveraged funds are losing value relative to the underlying asset.

Market Phase Dashboard MTFGetting into a trade is the easy part. if anyone out there could use a little assistance in knowing when to exit a trade this ones for you..
This is a Market Phase Dashboard MTF (Multi-Timeframe) that classifies market conditions into 4 distinct phases based on trend + momentum alignment. Here's what it does:
The 4 Market Phases:
CONTINUATION 🟢 - Uptrend (EMA rising) + Strong momentum (RSI > 55)
Translation: "Trend is strong, keep riding it"
SLOWING 🟠 - Two scenarios:
Uptrend but momentum fading (RSI ≤ 55), OR
Downtrend but momentum not fully committed (RSI ≥ 45)
Translation: "Trend losing steam, be cautious"
EXHAUSTION 🔴 - Downtrend (EMA falling) + Weak momentum (RSI < 45)
Translation: "Trend is dying, possible reversal coming"
NEUTRAL ⚪ - Anything that doesn't fit above (shouldn't happen much with these thresholds)
Multi-Timeframe View:
Shows phases for:
Chart TF - Whatever timeframe you're viewing (only updates on confirmed bar close)
5m - Always shows 5-minute phase
15m - Always shows 15-minute phase
Visual Cues:
Background color changes based on the live chart timeframe phase (updates in real-time, not waiting for bar close)
Table shows confirmed phases for all timeframes
Practical Use:
Helps you understand if different timeframes are aligned. For example:
All 3 showing CONTINUATION = strong aligned trend, high confidence trades
15m EXHAUSTION but 5m CONTINUATION = possible short-term bounce in downtrend
Mixed signals = choppy/transitional market, stay cautious
It's basically a trend health checker across multiple timeframes at a glance! I am also in the works of adding every higher time frame so that it will consist of 5 min all the way to the 12 mo time frame i will keep you guys updated as i update this indicator.
