RMI Valid FVG & IFVGRMI • Valid FVG & iFVG (Smart Money Concept)
RMI • Valid FVG & iFVG is a precision-focused Fair Value Gap indicator designed for traders who follow Smart Money Concepts (SMC) / ICT logic and want to filter out low-quality, random gaps.
This indicator does not plot every FVG.
It highlights only structurally relevant FVGs that form in the direction of the trend and have a high probability of being filled.
Core Features
Bullish & Bearish Fair Value Gaps
Inverse Fair Value Gaps (iFVG)
Trend-aligned FVG filtering
Automatic invalidation after mitigation
Clean background zones for clear visibility
Optimized for intraday trading
Adjustable settings for scalping, intraday & swing trading
Smart Filtering Logic
FVGs are validated using market structure context
Only FVGs that form within the active trend are displayed
Weak or low-probability gaps are ignored
Inverse FVGs appear after strong displacement and rejection
Zones are visually faded once mitigated
This helps reduce chart noise and keeps the focus on high-probability reaction zones.
Best Use Cases
Entry refinement after BOS / CHoCH
Confluence with liquidity grabs
Premium / discount zone trading
Intraday & session-based trading
Works well with ICT, SMC, price action & structure-based strategies
Recommended Timeframes
Scalping: M1 – M5
Intraday (default): M5 – M15
Swing Trading: M15 – H1
(Default settings are optimized for intraday trading.)
Important Notes
This is not a signal indicator
No repainting
No buy/sell arrows
Designed as a decision-support tool, not an automated system
Always combine with proper risk management and confirmation.
RMI • Precision over noise.
Trade structure, not randomness.
"Clean Market Structure & Trend Confirmation" TP LADDER(UPDATED)Clean Market Structure & Trend Confirmation — TP Ladder
This indicator is designed to identify high-probability intraday trend trades using market structure, momentum confirmation, and a visual ribbon system, with automatic take-profit and stop-loss levels plotted after confirmed signals.
WHAT THIS INDICATOR IS FOR
This script is built for active intraday traders trading SPY, QQQ, It focuses on trend continuation and directional momentum rather than scalping chop. It works best during regular market hours with extended hours enabled.
HOW TO LOAD (IMPORTANT)
Add the script to your chart
Set chart timeframe to 5-minute
Turn Extended Trading Hours ON
Use during the NY session (especially open and trend periods)
THE RIBBON (MOST IMPORTANT RULE)
The ribbon defines the trend.
• Blue/Teal ribbon = bullish trend
• Red ribbon = bearish trend
• Gray ribbon = compression / no trade zone
Only trade in the direction of the ribbon.
No ribbon alignment = no trade.
BULL & BEAR DOTS
“BULL” dot appears when structure flips bullish.
“BEAR” dot appears when structure flips bearish.
These confirm trend direction, not entries by themselves.
BUY & SELL ARROWS (ENTRIES)
• BUY arrow prints only when bullish ribbon, structure, momentum, and filters align
• SELL arrow prints only when bearish ribbon, structure, momentum, and filters align
• Arrows are non-repainting when using close-confirmed mode
No arrow = no trade.
CONTINUATION (C) LOGIC
The script allows limited continuation entries after pullbacks when structure realigns.
By default, only one continuation per direction per day is allowed to prevent overtrading and signal spam.
TAKE-PROFIT (TP) LADDER
When a BUY or SELL arrow confirms, the script automatically plots:
• TP1 = partial profit
• TP2 = extended target
• TP3 = final extension
• STOP = ATR-based stop loss
All levels are calculated using ATR and adjust automatically to volatility.
The ladder only appears after a confirmed signal.
HOW TO TRADE IT (SIMPLE FLOW)
Identify ribbon direction
Wait for BUY or SELL arrow
Enter on confirmation
Scale out at TP1, TP2, TP3
Respect the STOP line
If structure breaks or ribbon flips, exit.
WHAT TO AVOID
• Do not trade against the ribbon
• Do not trade in gray ribbon conditions
• Do not chase candles without arrows
• Do not expect constant signals (quality over quantity)
Market + Direction + Entry + Hold + Exit v1.5 FINALOverview
This script is a complete trend-based trading framework designed to filter market conditions, determine directional bias, detect high-quality pullback entries, manage active trades, and identify trend-weakening exit points.
It is optimized for NQ futures, Gold (XAUUSD), and Bitcoin, with adaptive parameters for each asset.
The logic focuses on trading only when conditions are favorable, aligning entries with the primary trend, and avoiding low-probability setups.
1. Market Condition Filter
Before any signal appears, the script checks whether the market is active using three conditions:
ATR compared to ATR moving average (volatility condition)
Volume compared to average volume (liquidity condition)
Price distance from VWAP (suppression of mean-reversion environments)
A trade environment is considered active when at least two of these three conditions are positive.
2. Trend Direction Filter
Directional bias is defined by:
EMA21 relative to EMA55
Price relative to VWAP
Heikin-Ashi structure
When these conditions align, the script switches into long-only or short-only mode.
No counter-trend signals are displayed.
3. Entry Logic (L, L2, L3 and S, S2, S3)
The system identifies pullback entries within a confirmed trend.
Long entries require:
Uptrend confirmation
Price dipping toward EMA21 or EMA55
A constructive Heikin-Ashi candle
Market environment active
Short entries mirror the same structure in bearish conditions.
Re-entries (L2, L3, S2, S3) are given only if the trend remains intact after the first entry.
4. Hold Logic
A hold signal appears if momentum remains aligned with the trend.
Momentum is evaluated using the Stochastic indicator (K and D lines).
5. Exit Logic
An exit signal appears when:
The recent structural low (for longs) or high (for shorts) is broken, and
The EMA slope indicates weakening trend strength
This combination identifies high-probability trend exhaustion.
How to Use
Add the script to your chart.
Select an asset preset (NQ, GOLD, BTC).
Wait for the market to be active.
Follow the entry signals (L, L2, L3 or S, S2, S3).
Hold signals help confirm continuation.
Exit signals indicate potential trend reversal or weakness.
Feature Summary
Market environment filter
Trend direction filter
Pullback-based entry system
Multi-stage re-entry framework
Momentum-based hold signal
Structure-based exit

Successful trading is rarely about predicting — it’s about preparing.
"Plan Your Trade, Trade Your Plan. Levels" is designed to bridge the gap between analysis and execution by forcing clarity before the trade ever happens. Instead of reacting to price in real time, this tool encourages traders to define their plan, map their key levels, and then simply trade what they already decided.
🧠 Why Planning Matters
Most trading mistakes don’t come from bad analysis — they come from abandoning a plan mid-trade. Emotions take over when levels aren’t clearly defined ahead of time.
This indicator is built around a simple philosophy:
Make the plan first. Trade the plan second.
By writing your thesis directly into the indicator and visually anchoring it to price, you remove ambiguity and hesitation when the market starts moving.
📊 What This Indicator Does
Converts your written trade plan or market outlook into clearly plotted price levels
Automatically identifies:
Pivot level (key decision point)
Resistance levels (above pivot)
Support levels (below pivot)
Displays contextual notes directly on the chart so you always remember why a level matters
Keeps your focus on execution, not interpretation
✍️ How to Use It
Paste your daily or weekly plan into the Input your Plan/Levels box
Let the script extract and plot the levels automatically
Observe how price behaves around predefined zones
Execute only what aligns with your original plan
No guesswork. No moving targets.
🎯 Designed For
Traders who value structure and discipline
Futures, index, and equity traders who trade key levels
Traders focused on process over prediction

## WYCKOFF METHOD THEORY
### The Three Fundamental Laws
#### 1. **Law of Supply and Demand**
- Price rises when demand exceeds supply
- Price falls when supply exceeds demand
- The indicator tracks volume vs price movement to identify imbalances
#### 2. **Law of Cause and Effect**
- A period of accumulation (cause) leads to markup (effect)
- A period of distribution (cause) leads to markdown (effect)
- Trading ranges build "cause" for future price movement
#### 3. **Law of Effort vs Result**
- **Effort** = Volume (energy put into the market)
- **Result** = Price movement (spread of the bar)
- High effort with low result = potential reversal
- Low effort with high result = trend weakness
### The Five Phases
#### **ACCUMULATION CYCLE**
**Phase A: Stopping the Downtrend**
- Preliminary Support (PS): First sign of buying
- Selling Climax (SC): Panic selling exhaustion
- Automatic Rally (AR): Bounce from SC
- Secondary Test (ST): Test of SC low on lower volume
**Phase B: Building the Cause**
- Trading range develops
- Supply being absorbed by composite operator
- Multiple tests of support and resistance
- Volume generally decreases
**Phase C: The Test (Spring)**
- False breakdown below support
- Traps late sellers
- Quick reversal on low volume
- Last chance to accumulate before markup
**Phase D: Dominance Emerges**
- Sign of Strength (SOS): Break above resistance
- Last Point of Support (LPS): Pullback opportunity
- Backup (BU): Final consolidation
- Demand clearly exceeds supply
**Phase E: Markup**
- New uptrend established
- Price moves rapidly higher
- Phase E can last months/years
- Original trading range becomes support
#### **DISTRIBUTION CYCLE**
**Phase A: Stopping the Uptrend**
- Preliminary Supply (PSY): First sign of selling
- Buying Climax (BC): Euphoric buying exhaustion
- Automatic Reaction (AR): Sharp selloff from BC
- Secondary Test (ST): Test of BC high on lower volume
**Phase B: Building the Cause**
- Trading range at top
- Demand being absorbed by composite operator
- Multiple tests of support and resistance
**Phase C: The Test (UTAD)**
- Upthrust After Distribution
- False breakout above resistance
- Traps late buyers
- Quick reversal
**Phase D: Dominance Emerges**
- Sign of Weakness (SOW): Break below support

## TRADING STRATEGY EXAMPLES
### Strategy 1: Accumulation Range Breakout
**Setup:**
1. Identify trading range (blue background in Phase B)
2. Wait for Spring or Test (Phase C)
3. Wait for SOS breakout (Phase D)
**Entry:**
- Option A: Buy on SOS breakout
- Option B: Wait for LPS pullback (better risk/reward)
**Stop Loss:**
- Below the spring low or trading range bottom
**Target:**
- Measure height of trading range (cause)
- Project upward from breakout point (effect)
- Minimum target = range height
**Example:**
```
Trading Range: 100 to 120 (20 point range)
SOS Breakout at: 120
Target: 120 + 20 = 140 minimum
```
### Strategy 2: Distribution Range Breakdown
**Setup:**
1. Identify trading range after uptrend
2. Wait for UTAD (Phase C)
3. Wait for SOW breakdown (Phase D)
**Entry:**
- Option A: Sell on SOW breakdown
- Option B: Wait for LPSY rally (better risk/reward)
**Stop Loss:**
- Above the UTAD high or trading range top
**Target:**
- Measure height of trading range
- Project downward from breakdown point
- Minimum target = range height
### Strategy 3: Spring Trading
**Setup:**
1. Strong downtrend followed by range
2. Price breaks below range bottom
3. Volume is LOW on breakdown
4. Price quickly reverses and closes above support
**Entry:**
- When candle closes above support level
- Or on retest of support
**Stop Loss:**
- Below spring low (usually tight)
**Target:**
- Top of trading range
- Previous swing high
**Risk/Reward:**
- Typically 1:3 or better
### Strategy 4: Smart Money Tracking
**Setup:**
1. Look for 💰 symbols in demand zones
2. Multiple accumulation signals (PS, SC, ST, Test)
3. Volume decreasing during range
**Entry:**
- At next demand zone test
- On SOS breakout
**Confirmation:**
- Background turning green (Phase D/E)
- Table shows "BULLISH" bias
### Strategy 5: VSA Reversal
**Setup:**
1. Strong trend in place
2. Stopping Volume (SV) appears at extreme
3. Followed by No Demand (ND) or No Supply (NS)
**Entry:**
- When trend breaks down/up
- On retest of extreme
**Example (Bullish):**
```
Downtrend → Stopping Volume → No Supply → Up bar
Entry: Buy when price moves above SV bar
```

## COMMON PATTERNS
### Pattern 1: Classic Accumulation
```
Phase A: Downtrend → PS → SC → AR → ST
Phase B: Range building (4-12 weeks typical)
Phase C: Spring (false breakdown)
Phase D: SOS → LPS → BU
Phase E: Markup (new uptrend)
```
**What to do:**
- Mark the range boundaries
- Wait for spring
- Buy on LPS or SOS
- Hold through markup
### Pattern 2: Classic Distribution
```
Phase A: Uptrend → PSY → BC → AR → ST
Phase B: Range building (topping process)
Phase C: UTAD (false breakout)
Phase D: SOW → LPSY
Phase E: Markdown (new downtrend)
```
**What to do:**
- Mark the range boundaries
- Wait for UTAD
- Sell on LPSY or SOW
- Stay out during markdown
### Pattern 3: Re-Accumulation
```
Uptrend → Trading Range → Spring → Uptrend continues
```
- Occurs during existing uptrend
- Shorter accumulation period
- Often no clear SC (trend is already up)
- Spring is the key signal
### Pattern 4: Re-Distribution
```
Downtrend → Trading Range → UTAD → Downtrend continues
```
- Occurs during existing downtrend
- Shorter distribution period
- Often no clear BC (trend is already down)
- UTAD is the key signal
### Pattern 5: Failed Breakout
**Bullish Failed Breakout:**
```
Range → Breakdown → Immediate reversal (Spring)
```
- Price breaks support
- Volume is LOW
- Immediate strong reversal
- Very bullish
**Bearish Failed Breakout:**
```
Range → Breakout → Immediate reversal (UTAD)
```
- Price breaks resistance
- Volume may be high initially
- Quick rejection and reversal
- Very bearish
---
## TIMEFRAME RECOMMENDATIONS
### Daily Charts (Most Reliable)
- Best for swing trading
- Clear phases and events
- Less noise
- Recommended for beginners
### 4-Hour Charts
- Good for active swing traders
- Faster signals than daily
- Still reliable
### 1-Hour Charts
- For day traders
- More false signals
- Need to filter carefully
- Use in conjunction with higher timeframe
### 15-Minute / 5-Minute
- Only for experienced traders
- High noise level
- Many false signals
- Use daily chart for context
**Golden Rule:** Always check higher timeframe first!
---
## MULTI-TIMEFRAME ANALYSIS
### Top-Down Approach (Recommended)
1. **Weekly Chart** - Identify major trend and phase
2. **Daily Chart** - Find current accumulation/distribution
3. **4H Chart** - Identify entry timing
4. **Entry Timeframe** - Execute trade
### Example Analysis:
**Weekly:** Phase E Markup (bullish)
**Daily:** Phase B Re-accumulation
**4-Hour:** Spring detected
**Action:** Buy on daily LPS

## TROUBLESHOOTING
### Issue: Too Many Labels
**Solution:**
- Increase swing length (Settings → 7 or 10)
- Increase volume multipliers
- Turn off VSA labels if not needed
- Focus on major events only (SC, Spring, SOS, BC, UTAD, SOW)
### Issue: Missing Expected Events
**Solution:**
- Decrease swing length (Settings → 3)
- Decrease volume multipliers
- Turn OFF volume confirmation
- Check timeframe (use daily chart)
### Issue: False Signals
**Solution:**
- Use higher timeframe
- Wait for confirmation
- Don't trade against major trend
- Look for multiple signal convergence
### Issue: Can't See Background Colors
**Solution:**
- Check "Show Phases" is enabled
- Increase monitor brightness
- Colors are subtle by design (not to obscure price)
### Issue: Volume Shows Incorrectly
**Solution:**
- Ensure volume data is available for your symbol
- Some symbols have poor volume data
- Forex spot pairs have no real volume
- Use futures or stock markets for best results
### Issue: No Trading Range Detected
**Solution:**
- Market may be trending strongly
- Trading range might be too small
- Wait for price to consolidate
- Not all markets have clear ranges
---
## ADVANCED TIPS
### 1. Count Point & Figure Charts
- Wyckoff used P&F to measure "cause"
- Width of range × height = minimum move target
- Longer accumulation = larger markup
### 2. Watch for Absorption
- High volume + narrow spread = someone absorbing
- In downtrend = accumulation
- In uptrend = distribution
### 3. Multiple Timeframe Springs
- Spring on daily + spring on weekly = very strong
- Increases probability significantly
### 4. Failed Signals Are Signals Too
- Failed spring = weakness, expect lower
- Failed UTAD = strength, expect higher
### 5. Context is King
- Don't buy during Phase E Markdown
- Don't sell during Phase E Markup
- Respect the major trend
### 6. Volume Precedes Price
- Study volume changes first
- Price follows volume
- Decreasing volume in range = building energy
### 7. Composite Operator Mindset
- Think like institutions
- Where would smart money buy/sell?
- They need liquidity (retail traders)
---
## RISK MANAGEMENT
### Position Sizing
**Conservative:**
- Risk 1% per trade
- Wider stops at range boundaries
**Moderate:**
- Risk 1-2% per trade
- Stops below spring/above UTAD
**Aggressive:**
- Risk 2-3% per trade
- Tight stops
- Higher win rate needed
### Stop Loss Placement
**Accumulation:**
- Below spring low
- Below trading range bottom
- Below demand zone
**Distribution:**
- Above UTAD high
- Above trading range top
- Above supply zone
### Take Profit Strategy
**Method 1: Measured Move**
- Range height = minimum target
- 2x range height = extended target
**Method 2: Fibonacci Extensions**
- 1.0 = range height
- 1.618 = extended target
- 2.618 = maximum target
**Method 3: Trail the Stop**
- Move stop to breakeven at 1R
- Trail under swing lows in markup
- Lock in profits progressively
---
## BACKTESTING CHECKLIST
Before trading with real money:
- Backtest on 50+ historical examples
- Record all signals in trading journal
- Calculate win rate (aim for >50%)
- Calculate average R:R (aim for >1:2)

## COMPOSITE OPERATOR PSYCHOLOGY
### What Smart Money Does (Follow Them)
**Accumulation:**
```
1. Create fear (PS, SC)
2. Shake out weak hands (Spring)
3. Absorb supply quietly (Phase B)
4. Test for remaining supply (Test)
5. Mark it up (SOS → Phase E)
💰 They buy LOW when retail panics
```
**Distribution:**
```
1. Create euphoria (PSY, BC)
2. Trap late buyers (UTAD)
3. Distribute to buyers (Phase B)
4. Test for remaining demand (ST)
5. Mark it down (SOW → Phase E)
💰 They sell HIGH when retail buys
```
### Where to Look for Smart Money
```
💰 Buy signals appear at:
- Demand zones (green boxes)
- Springs and shakeouts
- Tests of support
- After selling climax
💰 Sell signals appear at:
- Supply zones (red boxes)
- UTAD and upthrusts
- Weak rallies (LPSY)
- After buying climax
```

## PRACTICE EXERCISES
### Exercise 1: Identify the Phase
Look at any chart and ask:
1. Is there a trading range? (Phase B likely)
2. Did we just stop a trend? (Phase A)
3. Was there a spring/UTAD? (Phase C)
4. Is there a breakout? (Phase D)
5. Is trend running? (Phase E)
### Exercise 2: Volume Analysis
For each bar, note:
- Volume level (High/Normal/Low)
- Spread (Wide/Normal/Narrow)
- Effort vs Result (Matching? Diverging?)
### Exercise 3: Find Historical Springs
Go back 6 months:
- Mark all springs you can find
- Note the setup before each
- Track what happened after
- Calculate win rate

Custom ORBIT GSK-VIZAG-AP-INDIA🚀 Custom ORBIT — Opening Range Breakout & Reversal Indicator
This indicator automatically calculates and plots the Opening Range (OR) high and low levels for a user-defined session and duration. It is designed to assist intraday traders by providing immediate visual signals for both price breakouts and subsequent reversals from these key levels.
The indicator is particularly suitable for markets with defined trading hours, such as the Indian indices (Nifty, Bank Nifty), given its default time settings are based on GMT+5:30.
⚙️ How It Works (Indicator Logic)
The indicator operates based on three main logical components: time definition, level calculation, and signal generation.
1. Time Session and Range Definition: All time calculations are based on GMT+5:30 (Indian Standard Time/IST). The script defines a specific trading session from a customizable start time (default 9:15 AM) to a session end time (default 3:30 PM). The Opening Range (OR) is established during the initial duration, which is set by the rangeMinutes input (default 15 minutes, meaning the OR is calculated from 9:15 AM to 9:30 AM).
2. Level Calculation and Plotting: During the initial range duration, the script captures the absolute highest price (OR High) and the absolute lowest price (OR Low). Once this period ends, two horizontal lines—a green line for the OR High and a red line for the OR Low—are drawn and automatically extended across the chart for the remainder of the active trading session. The visual style of these lines can be customized to Dotted, Dashed, or Solid.
3. Breakout and Reversal Logic: The indicator actively tracks the market's state relative to the OR levels to generate four distinct signals:
Break Up: A signal is generated when the closing price crosses over the OR High, indicating potential upward momentum.
Break Down: A signal is generated when the closing price crosses under the OR Low, indicating potential downward momentum.
Reversal Down: This yellow signal occurs only after a price has already broken above the OR High (Break Up state), and then the price moves back into the range (closing below the ORH), suggesting a failed breakout.
Reversal Up: This yellow signal occurs only after a price has already broken below the OR Low (Break Down state), and then the price moves back into the range (closing above the ORL), suggesting a failed breakdown.
💡 Suggested Use Cases
The signals generated by this indicator can be used in two primary ways:
Breakout Trading: A trader may enter a long position on a "Break Up" signal or a short position on a "Break Down" signal. A common risk management practice is to use the opposite OR level (ORL for long trades, ORH for short trades) as a stop-loss reference.
Faded Breakout / Reversal Trading: Look for the yellow "Reversal Up" or "Reversal Down" signals. These signals indicate a rejection of the OR level, and a trader may take a counter-trend position with the expectation that the price will return to the consolidation range or move toward the opposite OR level.

Sustained 200 SMA Cross (Locked to Daily)For individuals looking to track trend changes against the 200 day simple moving average. We are measuring 5 consecutive days changing from the above or below the 200 day SMA as a flag for a potential shift in trend.
Timeframe Overlay 24HrDaily High–Low Box (00:00–23:59)
This indicator highlights each trading day with a shaded box spanning from 00:00 to 23:59 (based on the selected timezone) and covering the day’s highest and lowest price.
• Green box when the day closes above its open
• Red box when the day closes below its open
• Historical days are fully drawn for easy comparison
• Current day box builds dynamically as new candles form
Useful for visualising daily range, market bias, and intraday structure across all timeframes.
EMA 8 / 20 / 200Created to easily use the 8/20/200 strategy.
This indicator is designed to give a clear, multi-timeframe view of trend, momentum, and structure using three exponential moving averages.
1. Trend direction (EMA 200 – pink)
The 200 EMA acts as the long-term trend filter.
Price above the 200 EMA suggests a bullish market bias.
Price below the 200 EMA suggests a bearish market bias.
Many traders avoid taking trades against this higher-timeframe direction.
2. Momentum and trade bias (EMA 20 – blue)
The 20 EMA reflects short-term momentum.
When price respects the 20 EMA in an uptrend, pullbacks often provide continuation entries.
In downtrends, the 20 EMA frequently acts as dynamic resistance.
3. Entry timing (EMA 8 – yellow)
The 8 EMA is a fast reaction line used for precise timing.
Crosses of the 8 EMA over the 20 EMA can signal momentum shifts.
Strong trends often show price holding above (or below) the 8 EMA during impulse moves.
4. Confluence and trade filtering
The indicator works best when the EMAs are aligned:
Bullish alignment: EMA 8 > EMA 20 > EMA 200
Bearish alignment: EMA 8 < EMA 20 < EMA 200
Misaligned EMAs usually indicate consolidation or low-probability conditions.
5. Risk management context
EMAs can act as dynamic support and resistance:
Stops are often placed beyond the 20 EMA or 200 EMA depending on trade horizon.
Loss of EMA structure is a warning sign that the trend may be weakening.
In short, the indicator is a trend-first, momentum-second framework that helps you decide when to trade, in which direction, and when to stay out.
MA20 ATR Trend Failure FilterA volatility-adaptive filter designed to identify early trend invalidation.
This indicator combines a 20-period Moving Average (MA20) with Average True Range (ATR) to dynamically define a lower volatility boundary.
When price closes below this boundary, it signals that the current trend is no longer valid and risk is increasing.
Core Concept(核心思想)
MA defines the trend baseline
ATR measures current market volatility
MA − k × ATR forms a dynamic risk threshold
A close below this threshold = trend failure
👉 中文补充:
这不是反转指标,而是趋势失效过滤器,用于避免在趋势已经被破坏后继续持仓或加仓。
How It Works
Calculate MA20 as the trend reference
Calculate ATR(14) as volatility proxy
Build adaptive bands:
Upper Band = MA20 + k × ATR
Lower Band = MA20 − k × ATR
If close < Lower Band, trend is considered failed
The ATR multiplier k automatically adjusts the tolerance based on volatility, avoiding rigid fixed-percentage rules.
Visual Elements
Yellow line: MA20
Green band: MA20 + k × ATR
Red band: MA20 − k × ATR (key risk boundary)
Red triangle + “FAIL” label: Trend failure signal
Optional background shading to highlight risk zones
Typical Use Cases
Trend-following strategies (exit / reduce exposure)
Breakout strategies (filter false continuation)
Risk management overlay (non-intrusive, no repaint)
Combine with HMA, SuperTrend, structure-based entries
👉 中文补充:
非常适合作为**“不该再拿”的客观判断条件**,而不是频繁交易信号。
Why This Indicator
Volatility-adaptive (ATR-based)
No future data, no repaint
Simple logic, strong risk control
Works across stocks, crypto, futures, indices
This tool is designed to answer one question only:
Is the current trend still valid?
Parameters
MA Length (default: 20)
ATR Length (default: 14)
ATR Multiplier k (default: 0.8)
Lower k → stricter risk control
Higher k → more tolerance, fewer false signals SSE:600595

Stop: $94 (below support)
Target: $104 (at resistance)
Risk: $2, Reward: $8 (4:1)
```

### BEAR RANGING - Sell High, Buy Low
**Strategy: Range Trading (Short Bias)**
**Entry Rules:**
1. Wait for price at resistance zone
2. Look for RSI > 60
3. Enter on rejection candle
4. Confluence should be 1-2+
**Stop Loss:**
- Above resistance zone
- Tighter than trending (1.5 ATR)
**Take Profit:**
- At support zone
- Don't hold through support
**Position Size:**
- Reduce to 1-1.5% risk
- Lower win rate than trending
**Example Trade:**
```

Stop: $106 (above resistance)
Target: $96 (at support)
Risk: $2, Reward: $8 (4:1)
```

### CONSOLIDATION - Wait for Breakout
**Strategy: Breakout Trading**
**Entry Rules:**
1. Identify consolidation range
2. Wait for VOLUME SURGE (1.5x+ avg)
3. Enter on close outside range
4. Direction must be clear
**Stop Loss:**
- Opposite side of range
- Or 2 ATR
**Take Profit:**
- Measure range height, project it
- Example: $10 range = $10 move expected
**Position Size:**
- Reduce to 1% risk
- 50% false breakout rate
**Example Trade:**
```
Consolidation: $98-$102 (4-point range)
Breakout: $102.50 (high volume)
Entry: $103
Stop: $100 (back in range)
Target: $107 (4-point range projected)
Risk: $3, Reward: $4
```

### CHAOS - STAY OUT!
**Strategy: Preservation**
**What to Do:**
- ❌ NO new positions
- ✅ Close existing positions if near entry
- ✅ Tighten stops on profitable trades
- ✅ Reduce position sizes dramatically
- ✅ Wait for regime to stabilize
**Why It's Dangerous:**
- Stop hunts are common
- Whipsaws everywhere
- News-driven volatility
- No technical reliability
- Even "perfect" setups fail
**When Does It End:**
- Volatility ratio drops < 1.5
- ADX starts rising (direction appears)
- Price respects support/resistance again
- Usually 1-5 days
---
## CONFLUENCE SYSTEM
### How It Works
The system scores each potential entry on 5 factors. More factors aligning = higher probability.
### Confluence Requirements by Regime
**Trending Regimes** (strictest):
- Minimum 2/5 required
- 3/5 = Good
- 4-5/5 = Excellent
**Ranging Regimes** (moderate):
- Minimum 1-2/5 required
- 2/5 = Good
- 3+/5 = Excellent
**Consolidation** (breakout only):
- Volume is most critical
- Direction confirmation
- Less confluence needed
### Adjusting Minimum Confluence
**If too few signals:**
- Lower from 2 to 1
- More trades, lower quality
**If too many false signals:**
- Raise from 2 to 3
- Fewer trades, higher quality
**Recommendation:**
- Start at 2
- Adjust based on win rate
- Aim for 55-65% win rate

## COMMON QUESTIONS
**Q: How many trades per month should I expect?**
A: Depends on timeframe and settings. Daily chart: 5-15 trades/month. 4H chart: 15-30 trades/month.
**Q: What's a good win rate?**
A: 55-65% is excellent. 50-55% is good. Below 50% needs adjustment.
**Q: Should I trade all regimes?**
A: Beginners: Only trending. Intermediate: Trending + ranging. Advanced: All except chaos.
**Q: Can I use this on any timeframe?**
A: Best on Daily and 4H. Works on 1H with more noise. Not recommended <1H.
**Q: What if I'm in a trade and regime changes?**
A: Exit immediately (if using indicator) or let strategy handle it automatically.
**Q: How do I know if I'm over-optimizing?**
A: If results are perfect on one period but fail on another. Use walk-forward testing.

A: Yes, but they're rare (1-2/month). Don't wait only for these.
**Q: Can I combine this with other indicators?**
A: Yes, but keep it simple. RSI, MACD already included. Maybe add volume profile.
**Q: What assets work best?**
A: Liquid stocks, major crypto, futures. Avoid forex spot (use futures), penny stocks.
**Q: How long to hold positions?**
A: Trending: Days to weeks. Ranging: Hours to days. Breakout: Days. Let the regime guide you.

DZDZ – Pivot Demand Zones + Trend Filter + Breadth Override + SL is a structured accumulation indicator built to identify high-probability demand areas after valid pullbacks.
The script creates **Demand Zones (DZ)** by pairing **pivot troughs (local lows)** with later **pivot peaks (local highs)**, requiring a minimum **ATR (Average True Range)** gap to confirm real price displacement. Zones are drawn only when market structure confirms strength through a **trend filter** (a required number of higher highs over a recent window) or a **breadth override**, which activates after unusually large expansion candles measured as a percentage move from the prior close.
In addition to pivots, the script detects **coiling price action**—tight trading ranges contained within an ATR band—and treats these as alternative demand bases.
Entries require price to penetrate a defined depth into the zone, preventing shallow reactions. After the first valid entry, a **DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging)** system adds buys every 10 bars while trend or breadth conditions persist. A **ratcheting SL (Stop-Loss)** tightens upward only, using demand structure or ATR when zones are unavailable.
The focus is disciplined, volatility-aware accumulation aligned with structure.
Momentum Burst Pullback System v66* Detects **momentum “bursts”** using:
* **Keltner breakout** (high above upper band for long, low below lower band for short), and/or
* **MACD histogram extreme** (highest/lowest in a lookback window, with correct sign).
* Optional **burst-zone extension** keeps the burst “active” for N extra bars after the burst.
* Marks bursts with **K** (Keltner) and **M** (MACD) labels:
* Core burst labels use one color, extension labels use a different color.
* Tracks the most recent burst as the **dominant side** (long or short), and stores burst “leg” anchors (high/low context).
* Adds **structure-based invalidation**:
* On a new **core burst**, it locks the most recent **confirmed swing** level (pivot):
* Long: locks the last confirmed **swing low**.
* Short: locks the last confirmed **swing high**.
* After the burst, if price **breaks that locked level**, the burst regime is **cancelled** (and any pending setup on that side is dropped).
* Finds **pullback setups** after a dominant burst (and not inside the active burst zone), within min/max bars:
* Long pullback requires a sequence of **lower highs** and price still below the burst high.
* Short pullback requires **higher lows** and price still above the burst low.
* Optional background shading highlights pullback bars.
* On pullback bars, plots **static TP/SL crosses** using ATR:
* Anchor is the pullback bar’s high (long) or low (short).
* TP/SL are ± ATR * multiple.
* TP plots are visually classified (bright vs faded) based on whether TP would exceed the prior burst extreme.
* Maintains a **state-machine entry + trailing stop**:
* Sets a “waiting” trigger on pullback.
* Enters when price breaks the trigger (high break for long, low break for short).
* Trails a stop using **R-multiples**, with different behavior pre-break-even, post-break-even, and near-TP.
* Optionally draws the trailing stop as horizontal line segments.
* Optionally shows a **last-bar label** with the most recent pullback’s TP and SL values.
Colby Cheese VWAP Setup [v2.0]🔧 Core Refactors
• Imbalance function fixed:
• Removed invalid usage.
• Now uses for past bar references.
• Bias checks are handled outside the function with proper series indexing.
• Bias alignment:
• Added and so CHoCH signals only fire when price change agrees with EMA bias.
• Swing reset:
• After a valid CHoCH, and reset to so stale levels don’t keep firing.
• Line/label management:
• CHoCH lines and labels now reuse persistent IDs (, ) instead of spamming new objects every trigger.
✨ New Features
• Anticipation mode:
• Blue “Anticipate” lines/labels drawn when delta + bias align before CHoCH confirmation.
• Helps you see potential setups earlier.
• Entry zone lines:
• Solid green/red lines drawn at entry levels when is enabled.
• Separate from FRVP dashed zones.
• Stop‑loss lines:
• Orange dotted lines drawn opposite the entry zone when is enabled.
• Gives a visual risk marker.
🎨 Visual Consistency
• Candle coloring simplified: white candles only when CHoCH triggers.
• FRVP zones remain dashed lines with “Enter” labels.
• Anticipation zones are blue solid lines.
• Entry zones are solid green/red.
• Stop‑loss lines are orange dotted.
