Session Liquidity Sweep + Trend ConfirmationThis strategy aims to capture high-probability intraday trades by combining liquidity sweeps with a trend confirmation filter. It is designed for traders who want a systematic approach to trade breakouts during specific market sessions while controlling risk with ATR-based stops.
How it Works:
Session Filter: Trades are only considered during a defined session (default 9:30 - 11:00). This helps avoid low-volume periods that can lead to false signals.
Trend Confirmation: The strategy uses a 50-period EMA to identify the market trend. Long trades are only taken in an uptrend, and short trades in a downtrend.
Liquidity Sweep Detection:
A long entry occurs when price dips below the prior N-bar low but closes back above it, indicating a potential liquidity sweep that stops being triggered before the trend continues upward.
A short entry occurs when price spikes above the prior N-bar high but closes below it, signaling a potential sweep of stops before the downward trend resumes.
ATR-Based Risk Management:
Stop loss is calculated using the Average True Range (ATR) multiplied by a configurable factor (default 1.5).
Take profit is set based on a risk-reward ratio (default 2.5x).
Position Sizing: Default position size is 5% of equity per trade, making it suitable for risk-conscious trading.
Inputs:
Session Start/End (HHMM)
Liquidity Lookback Period (number of bars to define prior high/low)
ATR Length for stop calculation

Smart Money Structure | GainzAlgo📊 OVERVIEW:
================
Smart Money Structure Analysis is a professional-grade market structure and order-flow system designed to identify institutional trading behavior through volatility-adaptive logic, multi-timeframe trend alignment, and volume-based confirmation.
This indicator implements original mathematical models to detect Change of Character (CHoCH), Break of Structure (BOS), cumulative volume dynamics, and trend convergence across seven timeframes — delivering high-probability trade signals with significantly reduced noise.
Unlike basic indicator combinations, this system functions as a unified trading framework, where volatility adaptation, structure analysis, and volume confirmation continuously reinforce each other to provide precise, context-aware signals.
⭐ WHY THIS SYSTEM IS UNIQUE AND WORTHY OF PUBLICATION:
=====================================================
This is not a collection of common indicators placed together.
Smart Money Structure Analysis represents a cohesive institutional methodology, engineered so that:
- Volatility adjusts signal sensitivity in real time
- Multi-timeframe trends define directional bias
- Market structure determines timing
- Volume confirms institutional participation
- Advanced filters eliminate low-quality setups
Each component is mathematically linked to the others, creating a workflow that cannot be replicated by stacking separate indicators.
🔗 SYNERGISTIC INTEGRATION – HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS TOGETHER:
==========================================================
🧠 1. CONTEXT-AWARE VOLATILITY ADAPTATION
ATR-based volatility logic dynamically adjusts all momentum thresholds:
- Higher volatility → stronger confirmation required
- Lower volatility → sensitivity increases to capture valid moves
This prevents over-signaling in choppy markets and under-signaling during expansion phases — a core flaw in static indicators.
📐 2. MULTI-TIMEFRAME TREND CONVERGENCE ENGINE
Seven timeframes are analyzed simultaneously:
1M • 5M • 15M • 30M • 1H • 4H • 1D
Each timeframe is scored using EMA + VWAP alignment, producing a composite Trend Strength Score from -100 to +100.
The stronger the alignment across timeframes, the higher the probability of continuation — instantly visible through the real-time dashboard.
🏗️ 3. INSTITUTIONAL MARKET STRUCTURE (CHoCH & BOS)
The system automatically identifies the two core smart money concepts:
- CHoCH (Change of Character):
Signals potential trend exhaustion or reversal zones
- BOS (Break of Structure):
Confirms trend continuation and institutional commitment
Structure zones are visualized with persistent, color-coded levels and clouds, providing precise contextual timing rather than lagging signals.
📊 4. CUMULATIVE VOLUME DELTA (CVD) CONFIRMATION
CVD tracks the cumulative difference between buying and selling pressure:
- Rising CVD → accumulation
- Falling CVD → distribution
- Divergence vs price → early reversal warning
Volume participation is categorized into Low / Medium / High, adding depth beyond simple volume bars.
🛡️ 5. SIX-LAYER PROFESSIONAL SIGNAL FILTERING
Every signal must pass through up to six independent confirmation layers:
1. Volatility-adjusted momentum
2. Higher timeframe trend alignment
3. Lower timeframe conflict prevention
4. Institutional volume confirmation
5. Structural breakout validation
6. Repeated-signal restriction
This dramatically reduces false positives while preserving only high-quality institutional setups.
🧮 DETAILED CORE SYSTEMS:
========================
📏 ADAPTIVE MOMENTUM FORMULA

📦 CVD LOGIC
- Close > Previous Close → Buy volume added
- Close < Previous Close → Sell volume subtracted
- Cumulative sum reveals institutional intent
🧠 STRUCTURE DETECTION
- Pivot-based swing logic
- Candle confirmation
- Configurable lookback periods
- Non-repainting visualization
🧩 ADVANCED ANALYSIS TOOLS:
==========================

All trading decisions remain the sole responsibility of the user.
Liquidity OS [PyraTime]Trading the lower timeframes (1m-15m) often feels like navigating a minefield. Charts become cluttered with noise, making it nearly impossible to distinguish random price action from genuine institutional intent. Traders frequently suffer from "Analysis Paralysis," struggling to spot clean setups or reacting too slowly to calculate risk accurately in fast-moving markets.
The Solution: A Clean Operating SystemPyraTime: Liquidity OS was engineered to solve this specific problem. It is not just a signal tool; it is a complete visual operating system designed to declutter your workspace and enforce discipline. By filtering price action through a strict confluence of Structure, Time, and Momentum, it highlights only high-probability liquidity sweeps while automating the complex mental math of risk management.
How to Use This Indicator
This tool is designed for Scalpers and Day Traders utilizing liquidity concepts (ICT/SMC).
Wait for the Signal: The indicator automatically identifies valid "Unicorn" setups—a confluence of a Liquidity Sweep followed by a displacement (Breaker) and a Fair Value Gap.
Verify the Context: Look for the "Elite Glass" Capsule.
Cyan Glass: Bullish Setup (Long Opportunity).
Pink Glass: Bearish Setup (Short Opportunity).
Note: The capsule physically covers messy wicks, forcing your eye to focus solely on the clear path to profit or invalidation.
Consult the Dashboard: Glance at the "Monitor" panel (bottom right). It instantly displays the Position Size required to trade the setup based on your pre-defined account risk (e.g., 1%).
Execute & Focus: Use the visual TP (Take Profit) and SL (Stop Loss) lines provided by the capsule to set your orders. The system automatically dims old trades ("Smart Spotlight") so only the current opportunity competes for your attention.
Key Features
🦁 "Elite Glass" Visual Engine: A proprietary rendering system that displays trade setups as high-transparency, polished capsules. This creates a "Focus-First" environment, reducing chart noise and visual fatigue.
🧠 Smart Spotlight: Automatically manages visual history. The two most recent active zones remain bright, while older setups automatically dim to reduce clutter. Mitigated zones can be set to turn into "Ghosts" or disappear entirely.
🛡️ Risk OS Dashboard: A real-time, persistent monitor that calculates:
Dynamic Position Sizing: Tells you exactly how many units/contracts to trade.
Session Metrics: Tracks Win Rate, Total R, and Expectancy live.
Safety Warnings: Highlights "High Risk" inputs in red if you exceed safety thresholds.
⚡ Logic Filters:
Killzones: Restrict signals to specific sessions (e.g., London/NY) with a custom timezone selector.
Trend Flow: Filters signals to align with the 4H Trend (EMA 50).
Deep Value: Ensures buys occur in Discount and sells in Premium zones.
Specifications & Settings
Risk OS: Customizable Target R:R, Stop Loss Padding (ATR Multiplier), and Risk Per Trade %.
Liquidity Filters: "1m Scalp Mode" (increased sensitivity), Killzone Time/Timezone selector, and Force Reset button.
Visual Interface: Fully customizable colors. Toggles for "Show Midlines" (50% of FVG) and "Show Structure Breaks" (BOS lines) to further reduce noise.
Performance: Built on Pine Script v6 with null-safe execution and optimized garbage collection for zero-lag performance on all timeframes.
Disclaimer: Risk metrics, position sizing, and performance data displayed by this indicator are for informational and educational purposes only. This tool does not execute trades, manage funds, or guarantee future results. Always trade with a regulated broker and verify calculations independently.
ICT Algo: Sweep + MSS + High Prob FVG/IFVGThis script is a comprehensive execution tool based on Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts, specifically designed to identify high-probability entries by combining Liquidity Sweeps, Market Structure Shifts (MSS), and Fair Value Gaps (FVG/IFVG).
Unlike standard FVG indicators that highlight every gap on the chart, this "Algo" version filters for gaps that occur specifically after a liquidity purge and a shift in structure, ensuring you are only looking at setups with institutional backing.
How It Works
The script follows a strict 3-step validation process before plotting a signal:
Liquidity Sweep (The Context): The script tracks Higher Timeframe (HTF) levels including Previous Day High/Low, Weekly High/Low, and Monthly High/Low. A setup is only considered valid if price has recently "swept" one of these levels, indicating a hunt for liquidity.
Market Structure Shift (The Confirmation): Once a sweep occurs, the script looks for a displacement in the opposite direction. It identifies a "Pivot High/Low" (customizable length) and waits for a candle body to close beyond it (MSS).
Filtered Entry (The Trigger): * FVG: Plots a standard Fair Value Gap if it forms within a "Deep Value" zone (Discount for longs, Premium for shorts).
IFVG (Inversion FVG): Highlights failed FVGs that have been reclaimed by price to act as support or resistance.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Filters: Automatically plots PDH/L, PWH/L, PMH/L, and PYH/L. You can toggle which levels act as your sweep triggers.
Deep Value Logic: The script uses built-in logic to ensure Bullish FVGs are only highlighted when price is below a key liquidity level (Discount), and Bearish FVGs when price is above (Premium).
Dynamic Box Management: To keep your chart clean, boxes for FVGs and IFVGs are automatically shortened ("cut") once they are mitigated by price.
Inversion Logic: Includes a specialized toggle for Inversion Fair Value Gaps, allowing you to trade "failed" gaps that flip their polarity.
Settings & Customization
Entry Setup Bias: Choose to see only Bullish, only Bearish, or Both setups.
MSS Pivot Length: Adjust how "sensitive" the Market Structure Shift detection is. A higher number requires a more significant swing to be broken.
Sweep Lookback: Defines how many bars back the script looks for a liquidity sweep to remain "active" for a setup.
Include Opens: Optional toggle to include Previous Day/Week/Month Opens as liquidity points.
Usage Tips
The Golden Setup: Look for a sweep of a Previous Day High, followed by a Bearish MSS, and an entry at the Red FVG box.
Risk Management: This indicator is designed for entry identification. Always use stop losses (usually placed above/below the candle that created the FVG or the MSS swing point).
Timeframes: Best used on execution timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m) while the script handles the HTF levels automatically.
Disclaimer: This script is an educational tool and does not constitute financial advice. Trading involves significant risk. Past performance of a strategy does not guarantee future results.

Smart Fixed Volume Profile [MarkitTick]💡 This comprehensive analysis suite integrates Auction Market Theory, structural gap analysis, and statistical liquidity strain modeling into a single, cohesive toolkit. Designed for traders who require a granular view of institutional order flow, this indicator overlays a Fixed Range Volume Profile with intelligent price gap classification and a volatility-adjusted exhaustion detector. By combining these three distinct analytical dimensions, it allows users to identify value consensus, structural breakouts, and potential market turns driven by liquidity shortages.
✨ Originality and Utility
While standard Volume Profiles display where trading occurred, this script advances the concept by contextually analyzing *how* price arrived at those levels. It solves the problem of isolated analysis by fusing three disparate methodologies:
Contextual Integration: It does not merely show support and resistance; it qualifies moves using "Smart Gaps" (classifying gaps based on market structure) and "Liquidity Strain" (identifying unsustainable price velocity).
Institutional Footprint: The inclusion of an "Unusual Volume" highlighter within the profile bars helps traders spot hidden institutional accumulation or distribution blocks that standard profiles miss.
Hybrid Logic: By combining a fixed-time profile (anchored to specific dates) with dynamic, developing gap analysis, it provides both a static roadmap of the past and a dynamic interpretation of current price action.
🔬 Methodology and Concepts
• Fixed Volume Profile Engine
The core of the indicator constructs a volume distribution histogram over a user-defined time window. It utilizes a custom aggregation engine that:
Fetches higher-timeframe volume and price data to ensure accuracy.
Segments the price range into specific "bins" or rows.
Allocates volume to these bins based on price action within the bar, separating Buying Volume (Up bars) from Selling Volume (Down bars).
Calculates the Point of Control (POC) —the price level with the highest traded volume—and the Value Area , which contains 70% (customizable) of the total volume centered around the POC.
• Smart Gap Logic
The script systematically identifies price gaps and classifies them based on their location relative to market pivots (Highs/Lows):
Breakaway Gaps: Occur when price gaps beyond a significant structural pivot (Lookback High/Low), signaling a potential trend initiation.
Runaway Gaps: Occur within an existing trend without breaking structure, indicating trend continuation.
Exhaustion Gaps: Identified when a gap occurs late in a mature trend (measured by bar count since the last pivot) accompanied by a volume spike, suggesting the trend is overextended.
• Liquidity Strain Detector
This module utilizes a statistical approach to measure market stress. It calculates "Illiquidity" by analyzing the ratio of True Range to Volume (Price Impact).
It applies a Logarithmic transformation to normalize the data.
It calculates a Z-Score (Standard Deviation from the mean) of this impact.
If the Z-Score exceeds a threshold (e.g., 2.0 Sigma) while the trend opposes the price move, it triggers an exhaustion signal, indicating that price is moving too easily on too little volume (thin liquidity).
🎨 Visual Guide
• Volume Profile Elements
Histogram Bars: Horizontal bars representing volume at price. Cyan indicates bullish volume; Red indicates bearish volume.
Unusual Volume Highlight: Bars with volume exceeding the average by a set factor (default 2x) are highlighted with brighter, distinct overlays to denote institutional interest.
POC Line: A solid Yellow line marking the price level with the highest volume.
VAH / VAL Lines: Dashed Blue lines marking the Value Area High and Value Area Low.
Background Box: A grey shaded area encapsulating the entire time and price range of the profile.
• Smart Gap Boxes
Blue Box (Breakaway): Marks the start of a new structural move.
Orange Box (Runaway): Marks continuation gaps in the middle of a trend.
Red Box (Exhaustion): Marks potential trend termination points.
Dotted Lines: Extend from the center of gap boxes to serve as future support/resistance levels. These boxes are automatically deleted if price "fills" or violates the gap level.
Note: This tool incorporates core components from [ Smart Gap Concepts ], optimized for this specific strategy.
• Liquidity Signals
Green Label (SE): "Seller Exhaustion" – Appears below bars in a downtrend when selling pressure is statistically overextended.
Red Label (BE): "Buyer Exhaustion" – Appears above bars in an uptrend when buying pressure is statistically overextended.
Note: This tool incorporates core components from [ Liquidity Strain Detector ], optimized for this specific strategy.
📖 How to Use
• Interactive Range Selection: This indicator features a flexible, interactive input system. Upon adding the script to your chart, execution is paused until the analysis range is defined. You will be prompted to click on the chart twice: first to establish the Start Date and second to establish the End Date. Once these anchor points are confirmed, the indicator will automatically load the data and generate the profile for the selected specific period.
● Strategies for Optimal Anchoring
the optimal starting and ending points for high-probability setups:
Swing Highs and Lows (Trend Analysis):
Anchor the Start Date at a major structural swing high or low and the End Date at the current price using the Extend to Present feature. This identifies the "Fair Value" for the entire price move .
Consolidation/Range Anchoring:
Set the Start Date at the first bar of a sideways range and the End Date at the breakout candle. This reveals the high-node volume clusters that will act as future support or resistance.
Session-Based Anchoring (Intraday):
Align the Start Date with the session open (e.g., London or New York open) to track institutional flow for that specific day .
Event-Driven Anchoring:
Place the Start Date on a significant news event or a Breakaway Gap identified by the script's Gap Engine. This helps determine if the new volume supports the direction of the gap.
Correction Cycles:
During a pullback, anchor the Start Date at the start of the correction to find the Value Area Low (VAL), which often serves as a tactical entry point for a trend continuation.
• Identifying Value:
Use the Value Area to gauge market consensus. Acceptance of price within the VA indicates balance. A breakout above VAH or below VAL suggests the market is searching for new value. The POC often acts as a magnet for price correction.
• Trading Breakouts:
Watch for Breakaway Gaps (Blue) that align with a move out of the Volume Profile's Value Area. This confluence increases the probability of a sustained trend.
• Spotting Reversals:
Combine Exhaustion Gaps (Red) with Liquidity Strain Signals (SE/BE) . If price gaps up into a low-volume node on the profile and prints a "Buyer Exhaustion" signal, it suggests the move is unsupported by liquidity and liable to reverse.
• Support and Resistance:
The extended dotted lines from the Smart Gap boxes act as dynamic support/resistance. A retest of a "Runaway Gap" is often a viable entry point for trend continuation.
⚙️ Inputs and Settings
• Global Profile:
Start/End Date: Define the exact window for the volume profile calculation.
Extend to Present: If checked, the profile updates with live data beyond the end date.
• Profile Settings:
Number of Rows: Determines the vertical resolution (granularity) of the histogram.
Value Area %: Default is 70%, representing one standard deviation of volume distribution.
Placement: Position the profile on the Left or Right of the defined range.
• Liquidity & Gaps:
Unusual Threshold: Multiplier of average volume to highlight institutional bars (default 2.0x).
Structure Lookback: Adjusts the sensitivity of pivot detection for gap classification.
Stress Threshold (Sigma): The Z-Score limit for triggering Liquidity Strain signals (default 2.0).
🔍 Deconstruction of the Underlying Scientific and Academic Framework
• Auction Market Theory (AMT):
The script is grounded in AMT, which posits that the market's primary function is to facilitate trade. The Volume Profile visualizes this by displaying a bell curve of price distribution. The Value Area (typically 70%) corresponds to the First Standard Deviation in a normal Gaussian distribution, representing the area of "Fair Value" where buyers and sellers agree.
• Market Microstructure & Kyle’s Lambda:
The Liquidity Strain module draws conceptually from Kyle’s Lambda, a metric in market microstructure that measures market depth and price impact (Illiquidity). By calculating the ratio of price change (True Range) to Volume, the script approximates the "cost" of moving the market.
• Statistical Z-Score Normalization:
To make the liquidity data actionable, the script applies Z-Score normalization: Z = (X - μ) / σ . This converts raw illiquidity values into standard deviations from the mean. A Z-Score above +2.0 signifies a statistically significant anomaly—an outlier event where price moved excessively relative to the volume traded, often preceding a mean-reversion event.

TrendlinesTrendline S&R
This indicator is an automated technical analysis tool designed to identify the most relevant Support and Resistance (S&R) zones based on market pivots. Unlike standard pivot indicators that clutter the chart with historic lines, this script uses a "Closest-to-Price" algorithm to display only the single most relevant Support (Green) and Resistance (Red) zone currently interacting with price action.
It solves common frustrations with automated trendlines—specifically the issue of lines disappearing immediately upon a breakout—by introducing a Stability Buffer.
Key Features & Importance
The script scans hundreds of potential trendlines but only draws the one geographically closest to the current price.
Importance: This ensures you are looking at the zone that matters right now. It filters out distant or irrelevant historic lines, keeping your chart clean and focused on immediate price action.
🛡️ 5-Bar Stability Buffer (Anti-Flicker)
Feature: A hardcoded 5-bar "memory" prevents the zone from disappearing the moment price touches or breaks it.
Importance: This is critical for trading breakouts. It allows you to see the zone persist while price breaches it, helping you distinguish between a true breakout, a fakeout, or a retest, without the reference level vanishing from your screen.
🔍 Dynamic Pivot Filtering
Feature: Uses a restricted Pivot Strength (5-15) and Minimum Confirmation (2-8 touches).
Importance: By enforcing these limits, the indicator ignores insignificant market noise and micro-swings, ensuring that drawn zones represent structural market levels with genuine liquidity.
🔔 Integrated Alert System
Feature: Built-in alerts for "Zone Breakout" (candle close crossing the zone) and "Zone Touch" (wick entering the zone).
Importance: Allows you to set the indicator and walk away. You will be notified instantly when price interacts with these key levels, removing the need to stare at the chart.
📉 Adaptive Tolerance (Fixed ATR)
Feature: Uses a fixed ATR multiplier internally to determine the width of the zone.
Importance: This automatically adjusts the thickness of the support/resistance zone based on the asset's volatility.
Settings Guide
Bars to Apply: How far back in history the script looks for pivots (Default: 300).
Pivot Source: Choose between calculating from "High/Low" (wicks) or "Close" (bodies).
Pivot Strength: The number of bars required on each side to define a swing point (Range: 5–15).
Min Pivot Confirmation: The minimum number of touches required to validate a trendline (Range: 2–8).
How to Use
Add the indicator to your chart.
Adjust Pivot Strength if you want to catch smaller swings (lower number) or major structures (higher number).
Set an alert in TradingView by clicking the "Clock" icon, selecting this indicator, and choosing "Zone Breakout" or "Zone Touch".
Range Indicator Golden Pocket, Liquidity, FairValueGapOverview
This indicator is a comprehensive institutional market structure toolkit. It is designed to identify high-probability reversal zones by merging three powerful technical analysis concepts: Fibonacci Golden Pockets (61.8% - 65%), Liquidity Pool Analysis (Swing Failure Patterns), and Fair Value Gaps (FVG). By automating the detection of price inefficiencies and "stop runs," it helps traders navigate complex price action with objective, rule-based confirmation.
What the Script Does
The script continuously monitors a user-defined lookback period to define a trading range. Within this range, it dynamically plots:
Golden Pockets: High-confluence retracement zones (calculated as 0.35 - 0.382 internal range levels).
Liquidity Zones: Highlighted regions at the absolute high and low (Top/Bottom 5%) where institutional orders and retail stops are typically concentrated.
Swing Failure Patterns (SFP): Real-time detection of liquidity grabs where price breaches a range extreme but fails to close outside, signaling a potential trap.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG): Visualizes 3-candle price imbalances, showing areas of aggressive buying or selling that often act as future magnets or support/resistance.
2-Candle Confirmation: A momentum-based filter requiring a candle-close confirmation before a reversal signal is generated.
For Whom is it?
Smart Money Concepts (SMC) & ICT Students: Traders looking for automated liquidity sweeps and market inefficiencies.
Fibonacci & Mean Reversion Traders: Those seeking a clean, professional visualization of the Golden Pocket across multiple timeframes.
Systematic Day Traders: Who require strict price-action confirmation (SFP and 2-candle rules) to remove emotional bias from their entries.

eBacktesting - Learning: Liquidity GrabseBacktesting - Learning: Liquidity Grabs highlights moments when price pushes just beyond a recent swing high or swing low (where many stops tend to sit) and then quickly returns back inside the level. This behavior is often called a stop run, sweep, or liquidity grab.
Traders study these events because they can reveal:
- Where liquidity is “resting” (obvious highs/lows)
- A quick sweep and rejection (often a wick)
- When a breakout attempt is actually a trap
- A full candle close through the level, followed by an immediate reversal back inside (classic breakout trap)
- Potential areas where price may reverse or accelerate after stops are taken
Use it as a training tool to build pattern recognition and improve your patience around key levels, especially during active sessions where sweeps happen frequently.
These indicators are built to pair perfectly with the eBacktesting extension, where traders can practice these concepts step-by-step. Backtesting concepts visually like this is one of the fastest ways to learn, build confidence, and improve trading performance.

eBacktesting - Learning: Buy/Sell-side LiquidityeBacktesting - Learning: Buy/Sell-side Liquidity
Buy-side and sell-side liquidity are some of the most important “magnets” in day trading. When price forms obvious swing highs and swing lows, stop-loss orders often build up just above those highs (buy-side liquidity) and just below those lows (sell-side liquidity). Markets frequently move into these areas to “take” that liquidity before making the next meaningful move.
This indicator helps you spot those potential liquidity pools and highlights when price reaches them. Use it to study:
- where stops are likely resting above highs / below lows
- how often price sweeps those areas before reversing
- how liquidity runs can trigger the next expansion or trend continuation
These indicators are built to pair perfectly with the eBacktesting extension, where traders can practice these concepts step-by-step. Backtesting concepts visually like this is one of the fastest ways to learn, build confidence, and improve trading performance.

Orion Time Matrix | ICT Macros [by AK]ORION TIME MATRIX | ICT MACRO SUITE
The Orion Time Matrix is a precision timing instrument designed to decipher the algorithmic "Heartbeat" and the timing of institutional order flow in US Index Futures markets, specifically Nasdaq (NQ) and S&P 500 (ES).
Inspired by the "Time & Price" teachings of Michael J. Huddleston (The Inner Circle Trader), this tool maps out the specific time windows where algorithms seek liquidity and price delivery is most efficient.
Liquidity Trend Horizon [Pineify]Pineify - Liquidity Trend Horizon
The Liquidity Trend Horizon is a sophisticated trend-following indicator designed to identify potential liquidity sweep zones while providing clear visual trend direction. It combines adaptive volatility bands with smart liquidity detection to help traders spot high-probability reversal points where institutional activity may be occurring.
Key Features
Dynamic trend baseline using WMA and EMA smoothing
ATR-based volatility bands that adapt to market conditions
Automatic liquidity sweep detection with visual alerts
Gradient-filled channels for intuitive trend visualization
Real-time candle coloring based on trend direction
How It Works
The indicator calculates a weighted moving average (WMA) of the closing price, then applies exponential smoothing (EMA) to create a responsive yet stable baseline. This dual-smoothing approach filters out market noise while maintaining sensitivity to genuine trend changes.
Volatility bands are constructed using a 200-period Average True Range (ATR) multiplied by a user-defined factor. This creates dynamic support and resistance zones that automatically widen during volatile periods and contract during consolidation.
How Multiple Indicators Work Together
The synergy between WMA, EMA, and ATR creates a comprehensive trend analysis system:
The WMA provides the initial trend estimation with emphasis on recent price action
The EMA layer adds smoothness to reduce false signals
The ATR bands define probabilistic boundaries where price is likely to find support or resistance
Trading Ideas and Insights
Liquidity sweeps occur when price wicks beyond the volatility bands but closes back within the channel. These events often indicate:
Stop-loss hunting by larger market participants
False breakouts that may lead to reversals
Areas of accumulated liquidity being absorbed
A bullish sweep (wick below lower band, close above) suggests potential buying opportunity. A bearish sweep (wick above upper band, close below) may signal selling pressure.
Unique Aspects
Unlike traditional channel indicators, the Liquidity Trend Horizon specifically identifies sweep events where price temporarily breaks boundaries before reverting. This behavior is commonly associated with institutional order flow and smart money concepts.
How to Use
Observe the baseline color for overall trend direction (cyan for bullish, purple for bearish)
Watch for sweep markers (🚀 BULL / 📉 BEAR) at band extremes
Use background flashes as immediate alerts for sweep events

Smart Money Flow Oscillator [MarkitTick]💡This script introduces a sophisticated method for analyzing market liquidity and institutional order flow. Unlike traditional volume indicators that treat all market activity equally, the Smart Money Flow Oscillator (SMFO) employs a Logic Flow Architecture (LFA) to filter out market noise and "churn," focusing exclusively on high-impact, high-efficiency price movements. By synthesizing price action, volume, and relative efficiency, this tool aims to visualize the accumulation and distribution activities that are often attributed to "smart money" participants.
✨ Originality and Utility
Standard indicators like On-Balance Volume (OBV) or Money Flow Index (MFI) often suffer from noise because they aggregate volume based simply on the close price relative to the previous close, regardless of the quality of the move. This script differentiates itself by introducing an "Efficiency Multiplier" and a "Momentum Threshold." It only registers volume flow when a price move is considered statistically significant and structurally efficient. This creates a cleaner signal that highlights genuine supply and demand imbalances while ignoring indecisive trading ranges. It combines the trend-following nature of cumulative delta with the mean-reverting insights of an In/Out ratio, offering a dual-mode perspective on market dynamics.
🔬 Methodology
The underlying calculation of the SMFO relies on several distinct quantitative layers:
• Efficiency Analysis
The script calculates a "Relative Efficiency" ratio for every candle. This compares the current price displacement (body size) per unit of volume against the historical average.
If price moves significantly with relatively low volume, or proportional volume, it is deemed "efficient."
If significant volume occurs with little price movement (churn/absorption), the efficiency score drops.
This score is clamped between a user-defined minimum and maximum (Efficiency Cap) to prevent outliers from distorting the data.
• Momentum Thresholding
Before adding any data to the flow, the script checks if the current price change exceeds a volatility threshold derived from the previous candle's open-close range. This acts as a gatekeeper, ensuring that only "strong" moves contribute to the oscillator.
• Variable Flow Calculation
If a move passes the threshold, the script calculates the flow value by multiplying the Typical Price and Volume (Money Flow) by the calculated Efficiency Multiplier.
Bullish Flow: Strong upward movement adds to the positive delta.
Bearish Flow: Strong downward movement adds to the negative delta.
Neutral: Bars that fail the momentum threshold contribute zero flow, effectively flattening the line during consolidation.
• Calculation Modes
Cumulative Delta Flow (CDF): Sums the flow values over a rolling period. This creates a trend-following oscillator similar to OBV but smoother and more responsive to real momentum.
In/Out Ratio: Calculates the percentage of bullish inflow relative to the total absolute flow over the period. This oscillates between 0 and 100, useful for identifying overextended conditions.
📖 How to Use
Traders can utilize this oscillator to identify trend strength and potential reversals through the following signals:
• Signal Line Crossovers
The indicator plots the main Flow line (colored gradient) and a Signal line (grey).
Bullish (Green Cloud): When the Flow line crosses above the Signal line, it suggests rising buying pressure and efficient upward movement.
Bearish (Red Cloud): When the Flow line crosses below the Signal line, it suggests dominating selling pressure.
• Divergences
The script automatically detects and plots divergences between price and the oscillator:
Regular Divergence (Solid Lines): Suggests a potential trend reversal (e.g., Price makes a Lower Low while Oscillator makes a Higher Low).
Hidden Divergence (Dashed Lines): Suggests a potential trend continuation (e.g., Price makes a Higher Low while Oscillator makes a Lower Low).
"R" labels denote Regular, and "H" labels denote Hidden divergences.
• Dashboard
A dashboard table is displayed on the chart, providing real-time metrics including the current Efficiency Multiplier, Net Flow value, and the active mode status.
• In/Out Ratio Levels
When using the Ratio mode:
Values above 50 indicate net buying pressure.
Values below 50 indicate net selling pressure.
Approaching 70 or 30 can indicate overbought or oversold conditions involving volume exhaustion.
⚙️ Inputs and Settings
Calculation Mode: Choose between "Cumulative Delta Flow" (Trend focus) or "In/Out Ratio" (Oscillator focus).
Auto-Adjust Period: If enabled, automatically sets the lookback period based on the chart timeframe (e.g., 21 for Daily, 52 for Weekly).
Manual Period: The rolling lookback length for calculations if Auto-Adjust is disabled.
Efficiency Length: The period used to calculate the average body and volume for the efficiency baseline.
Eff. Min/Max Cap: Limits the impact of the efficiency multiplier to prevent extreme skewing during anomaly candles.
Momentum Threshold: A factor determining how much price must move relative to the previous candle to be considered a "strong" move.
Show Dashboard/Divergences: Toggles for visual elements.
🔍 Deconstruction of the Underlying Scientific and Academic Framework
This indicator represents a hybrid synthesis of academic Market Microstructure theory and classical technical analysis. It utilizes an advanced algorithm to quantify "Price Impact," leveraging the following theoretical frameworks:
• 1. The Amihud Illiquidity Ratio (2002)
The core logic (calculating body / volume) functions as a dynamic implementation of Yakov Amihud’s Illiquidity Ratio. It measures price displacement per unit of volume. A high efficiency score indicates that "Smart Money" has moved the price significantly with minimal resistance, effectively highlighting liquidity gaps or institutional control.
• 2. Kyle’s Lambda (1985) & Market Depth
Drawing from Albert Kyle’s research on market microstructure, the indicator approximates Kyle's Lambda to measure the elasticity of price in response to order flow. By analyzing the "efficiency" of a move, it identifies asymmetries—specifically where price reacts disproportionately to low volume—signaling potential manipulation or specific Market Maker activity.
• 3. Wyckoff’s Law of Effort vs. Result
From a classical perspective, the algorithm codifies Richard Wyckoff’s "Effort vs. Result" logic. It acts as an oscillator that detects anomalies where "Effort" (Volume) diverges from the "Result" (Price Range), predicting potential reversals.
• 4. Quantitative Advantage: Efficiency-Weighted Volume
Unlike linear indicators such as OBV or Chaikin Money Flow—which treat all volume equally—this indicator (LFA) utilizes Efficiency-Weighted Volume. By applying the efficiency_mult factor, the algorithm filters out market noise and assigns higher weight to volume that drives structural price changes, adopting a modern quantitative approach to flow analysis.

Institutional PointOverview Institutional Point is a sophisticated data-mining indicator designed to identify and track "institutional footprints" by isolating the single candle with the highest volume relative to a specific time anchor. Unlike traditional volume profiles that aggregate data into price bins, this script pinpoints the exact temporal origin of massive liquidity injections.
Core Methodology The script operates on a multi-timeframe analysis engine (MTF). It scans sub-chart data (2-minute or 15-minute intervals) to find the absolute maximum volume peak within a defined period. Once the "Institutional Point" is identified:
Source Identification: The origin candle is highlighted in white, signaling a high-conviction entry or exit by large-scale market participants.
Zone Projection: A borderless "Institutional Zone" is projected forward from the spike’s high/low range.
Dynamic Interaction: The zone remains active until the price revisits the area (mitigation) or until the time-based expiration is reached.
Anchor Modes & Precision
8-Hour Cycle: Optimized for high-frequency scalping. Anchors reset at 00:00, 08:00, and 16:00. Utilizes ultra-precise 2-minute volume detection.
Daily Session: Designed for intraday and swing traders. Anchors to the Daily Open. Utilizes 2-minute volume detection to isolate precise institutional orders.
Weekly Cycle: Built for identifying major structural pivots. Anchors to the Weekly Open. Utilizes 15-minute volume detection for macro-liquidity analysis.
Key Features
Naked Level Tracking: Zones automatically stop extending the moment they are "hit" by price action, providing a clean visual of unmitigated liquidity.
Anti-Noise Filter: Automatically excludes Saturday and Sunday data to maintain statistical integrity across global markets.
Minimalist Interface: High-contrast visual design focused on scannability and professional chart aesthetics.
Use Cases
Data Science & Backtesting: Ideal for measuring the "Z-Score" or "Percentile Distance" from institutional peaks.
Supply & Demand Trading: Automated identification of the "Origin of the Move."
Magnet Analysis: Tracking "Naked" volume spikes as high-probability magnets for future price mean reversion.
Session Liquidity Raid ModelSession Liquidity Raid Model
This indicator helps you understand what each market session is doing with liquidity — without guessing, predicting, or over-complicating things.
It tracks the Asia, London, and New York sessions and shows you:
Where each session’s highs and lows are
Whether those levels have been taken (raided) or are still untouched
When New York is likely cleaning up liquidity left by London
The basic idea (very simple)
If London moves price strongly without taking Asia’s opposite side, New York often comes back to raid London levels first before the real move happens.
This indicator makes that process visible at a glance.
What it shows on the chart
Asia High & Low
London High & Low
Whether each level is taken or not
A simple Bullish / Bearish / Neutral session bias
Clean horizontal lines for key session levels
No buy or sell signals.
No indicators stacked on top of each other.
Just context.
How to use it
Use it to avoid bad trades, not force trades
Wait for liquidity to be taken before looking for entries
Combine it with your own price action, structure, or FVGs
If you trade CME_MINI:NQ1! , this helps you stay aligned with what New York is actually doing, instead of reacting late.
Important note
This is not a trading strategy and it does not predict the future.
It simply shows which session still owes liquidity and which one has already been cleared.
LBMA London Gold Fix Times [Auto DST]## Overview
This lightweight indicator automatically marks the **LBMA Gold Price Fixing** times on your chart using vertical lines. It is designed specifically for **XAUUSD (Gold)** traders who need to monitor institutional liquidity and volatility shifts during the London session.
The indicator tracks the two key daily fixing moments:
* **AM Fix:** 10:30 (London Time)
* **PM Fix:** 15:00 (London Time)
## Key Features
* **🌍 Auto Daylight Saving Time (DST):** Built with the `Europe/London` timezone parameter. It automatically adjusts to British Summer Time (BST) and GMT, so you never have to manually change the UTC offset settings.
* **⚡ Minimalist Design:** Draws clean vertical lines without cluttering your chart with text labels.
* **🎨 Fully Customizable:** You can adjust the line color, width, and style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted) for both AM and PM sessions independently.
## Why are these times important?
The London Gold Fix (LBMA Gold Price) is the global benchmark for physical gold settlement. Major institutions, central banks, and mining companies settle contracts at these times. Consequently, **10:30** and **15:00** (London time) often witness:
1. Significant spikes in volatility.
2. Trend reversals or accelerations.
3. Massive volume injection.
## Usage Tips
* **Timeframe:** This indicator works best on **Intraday Timeframes** (1-minute to 30-minute charts).
* *Note:* It may not be visible on H1 (1-hour) charts or higher because the fix times (e.g., 10:30) occur in the middle of an hourly candle.
* **Setup:** Simply add it to your chart. No timezone configuration is required; the script calculates London time internally.
## Settings
* **AM Fix Color:** Default is Blue (London Morning).
* **PM Fix Color:** Default is Red (London Afternoon/US Morning overlap).
* **Line Style:** Choose between Solid, Dashed, or Dotted lines.

Swing Failure Signals [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This script detects swing failure patterns by tracking how price interacts with recent swing highs and lows, then confirming those sweeps with a change in candle behavior. The goal is to highlight areas where price briefly breaks a key level, fails to continue, and then shifts direction. These events often occur around liquidity runs, where stops are triggered before price reverses. The script draws levels, colors bars, and prints clear markers to help visualize where these failures occur and when they are confirmed.
🟠 CONCEPTS
The logic starts with pivot-based swing detection. Recent swing highs and lows are stored and monitored. When price trades beyond one of these levels within a defined historical window, it is treated as a sweep. A sweep alone is not enough. The script then waits for a Change in State of Delivery (CISD), which is defined by a shift in candle structure that shows follow-through in the opposite direction. A tolerance filter measures how far price traveled beyond the level relative to the reaction that followed. If the reaction is strong enough and happens within a limited number of bars, the sweep is validated as a swing failure. In short: the swing defines the reference, the sweep shows intent, and the CISD confirms acceptance or rejection.
🟠 FEATURES
Sweep detection with a maximum lookback to avoid outdated levels
CISD confirmation using candle structure and price expansion
Alert conditions for bullish and bearish swing failures
🟠 USAGE
Setup : Add the script to your chart. It works on any market and timeframe. Lower timeframes highlight intraday liquidity runs, while higher timeframes show structural failures. Start with the default inputs before adjusting.
Read the chart : A bullish swing failure occurs when price sweeps a prior low, then reverses and confirms with a bullish CISD. A bearish swing failure is the opposite, sweeping a prior high and confirming with a bearish CISD. Dashed lines mark the swept swing. Solid lines mark the CISD level. Bars are colored while the SFP state is active.
Settings that matter : Increasing Pivot Detection Length finds more significant swings but fewer signals. Reducing Max Pivot Point Edge limits how far back sweeps are allowed, keeping signals more current. The Patience setting controls how many bars are allowed for confirmation after a sweep. The Trend Noise Filter raises or lowers how strong the reaction must be to qualify as a valid failure.
GLI Fed Plumbing Regime (v1.0)GLI Regime Index
Global Liquidity Intelligence for Risk Markets
The GLI Regime Index is a macro-liquidity regime engine that classifies the financial system based on where cash is actually flowing inside the Fed–Treasury plumbing.
Markets do not move on narratives.
They move on liquidity .
GLI measures that liquidity in real time by combining four institutional-grade signals:
• Fed Reverse Repo (RRP) – where excess cash is being parked
• 3-Month Treasury Bills – where short-term money prefers to earn yield
• IORB – the Federal Reserve’s policy floor
• SOFR – the true cost of funding in the system
By comparing these flows, GLI identifies which institution is currently in control of money:
Regime What It Means
FED DOMINANT Abundant reserves, liquidity flowing into risk assets
T-BILL DOMINANT Treasury absorbing liquidity, risk tightening
CASH GLUT Excess money trapped at the Fed (RRP high)
FUNDING STRESS Funding markets under pressure (SOFR > IORB)
NEUTRAL Transition state between regimes
Why this matters
Assets like NVDA, BTC, high-beta tech, and growth stocks don’t trade on earnings — they trade on marginal liquidity.
GLI tells you:
When rallies are supported by real money
When breakouts are likely to fail
When dips are being bought vs distributed
When risk is being quietly withdrawn
How to use it
Apply GLI to any chart.
When the background turns:
Green (Fed Dominant) → Risk assets are structurally supported
Orange (T-Bill Dominant) → Liquidity is draining from risk
Blue (Cash Glut) → Money is stuck at the Fed, rallies struggle
Red (Funding Stress) → Volatility and liquidation risk rise
The built-in Liquidity HUD shows:
RRP usage
Fed vs Treasury dominance
SOFR stress
Rate spreads in real time
No interpretation required.
What GLI is not
GLI is not a technical indicator.
It does not look at price, volume, or momentum .
It looks at the money behind the price .
That’s why it works.
Wyckoff Map (TR + S/D + Springs/Upthrusts)Wyckoff Map is a context-aware market structure overlay that visualizes key Wyckoff concepts directly on the price chart — without repainting and without relying on black-box signals.
Instead of generating isolated buy/sell alerts, this tool maps the environment in which price is operating, helping traders understand where supply and demand are interacting, where liquidity is being swept, and which phase the market is likely in.
What the script shows
Trading Range (TR)
Automatically detects a recent trading range
Displays the range as a shaded box for immediate context
Supply & Demand Zones
Demand zone near the range low (buyers’ area)

A non-repainting Wyckoff market structure overlay that maps trading ranges, supply/demand zones, Springs, Upthrusts, and accumulation/distribution phases directly on the chart.
Key Price Levels + Zones"Support and resistance are rarely exact lines; hey are zones where price reacts."
This indicator upgrades standard horizontal levels by visualizing Liquidity Zones around the most critical intraday reference points: Pre-Market, Previous Day, and Previous Week Highs/Lows.
Unlike basic scripts that just draw thin lines, this tool combines the precision of exact price levels with the reality of market volatility. It offers deep customization, allowing you to separate line colors from zone colors, perfect for keeping your charts clean and professional.
Key Features
1. Dual Zone Logic (Dynamic Sizing)
• Price Tier Mode (Default): Zones are sized based on the asset price (e.g., higher-priced stocks get wider zones automatically). This mimics "psychological" levels.
• ATR Volatility Mode: Switches calculation to use the Average True Range (ATR). Zones expand during high volatility and contract during chop, adapting to the market conditions in real-time.
2. Ultimate Customization
• Separate Colors: You can finally set your Line Color (e.g., Bright Green) independently from your Zone Fill (e.g., Faint Grey).
• Individual Toggles: Turn the Line, Zone, or Label on/off individually for every single level.
• Line Styles: Differentiate daily levels (Solid) from weekly levels (Dashed) instantly.
3. The "Smart" Levels
• PM High/Low: Real-time Pre-Market tracking that freezes at the open.
• PD High/Low: Previous Day’s range.
• PW High/Low: Previous Week’s range (Critical for swing points).
---
Settings Guide
• Extension Style:
- Individual: Keeps history of levels for backtesting.
- Most Recent: Keeps the chart minimal by extending only today's levels.
• Zone Thickness Mode: Switch between "Price Tier" and "ATR Volatility".
• ATR Settings: Fully adjustable Length and Multiplier (when in ATR mode).
• Transparency: Global slider to control how subtle or bold the zones appear.
How to Trade This
• The "Trap": If price breaks a Line but fails to close outside the Zone, it is often a liquidity grab (fakeout).
• The Retest: Watch for price to break a level and use the Zone as a cushion for a bounce/retest entry.
Options Liquidity Meter (OLM)❓ The question behind this indicator
When trading options, it is common to experience situations where price moves in the expected direction, yet the option contract does not increase in value as anticipated.
This typically happens when one or more of the following conditions is missing:
Insufficient liquidity participation
Lack of volatility expansion
Weak or passive order flow
Options Liquidity Meter (OLM) was created to address this specific question:
“If price moves from here, are there conditions for option premiums to actually expand?”
🎯 What this indicator does
Options Liquidity Meter is a context tool, not a trading system.
It evaluates whether the current market environment is favorable for option premium expansion , based on three core engines:
Liquidity (Relative Volume)
Measures whether price movement is supported by meaningful participation.
Volatility State
Identifies compression, release, and expansion phases, where options tend to respond differently.
Order Flow Activity (OBV-based)
Acts as a proxy for active vs. passive participation, helping filter hollow moves.
These components are combined into a single, easy-to-read options context.
🟢🟡🔴 Options Context Output
The indicator displays one consolidated state:
RED — NO EXPANSION
Price may move, but option premiums often do not respond.
YELLOW — BUILDING
Liquidity or volatility is developing. Conditions are improving but not fully aligned.
GREEN — EXPANSION LIKELY
Liquidity, volatility expansion, and active flow are aligned.
This is a favorable environment for option premium expansion.
The same logic is reflected visually through the background color and summarized in the dashboard.
📊 How to read the dashboard
The dashboard shows:
Liquidity: LOW / OK / HIGH
Volatility: COMPRESSED / RELEASED / EXPANDING
Order Flow: FLAT / ACTIVE
Options Context: NO EXPANSION / BUILDING / EXPANSION LIKELY
Below, a Background Color Meaning section explains what each color represents, making the indicator intuitive and educational.
📍 Where to apply this indicator
Options Liquidity Meter must be applied to the underlying asset chart, such as:
Indices (SPY, SPX, QQQ, etc.)
Stocks
Futures
ETFs
It is not designed to be applied to option contracts themselves.
The indicator evaluates the market conditions of the underlying, which are the drivers that influence option premium behavior.
Contract selection (strike, delta, gamma, expiration) remains the trader’s responsibility.
🧠 How to use it
Use your own methodology to define:
Direction
Structure
Entries and exits
Use Options Liquidity Meter to evaluate:
Whether the current environment supports option premium expansion
If the context is RED, be cautious — price may move without rewarding options.
If the context is GREEN, the environment is statistically more favorable for options responsiveness.
🔗 Complementary tools
Options Liquidity Meter is designed to complement, not replace, other tools.
It works well alongside:
Opening Path Selector (EMA200 Context Tool)
For deciding which asset offers the cleanest directional context.
Multi-Tool VWAP + EMAs (Multi-Timeframe) + Key Levels
For in-chart structure, bias, and reference levels.
Each tool addresses a different stage of the decision process and can be used independently.
⚠️ Important notes
This indicator provides context only
It does not generate trading signals
No indicator guarantees results
Use at your own risk.
Liquidity Strain Detector [MarkitTick]💡 This indicator provides a specialized method for detecting market anomalies where price movement becomes disconnected from typical volume profiles, signaling potential exhaustion events. By combining statistical analysis of liquidity (price impact) with a directional trend filter, the tool aims to highlight moments of extreme market stress, such as panic selling or euphoric buying, that often precede mean reversions or trend pauses.
● Originality and Utility
Standard volume indicators often look at raw volume levels, which can be misleading during different times of the day or across different assets. This script calculates the efficiency of moving price (Illiquidity) and normalizes it statistically. This allows the trader to see when the market is becoming thin or stressed relative to recent history. It is particularly useful for contrarian traders looking for capitulation points within established trends, offering a unique perspective beyond standard RSI or MACD divergence.
● Methodology
The core mechanism drives a custom Liquidity Engine that performs the following steps:
Price Impact Calculation: It computes the ratio of the True Range to Volume. High values indicate that price is moving significant distances on relatively low volume or that volatility is extreme relative to participation.
Normalization: The raw impact data is smoothed using a logarithmic scale to handle the wide variance in volume data.
Statistical Scoring (Z-Score): The script calculates the Z-Score of this normalized data over a user-defined lookback period. This determines how many standard deviations the current liquidity stress is away from the mean.
Trend Filtering: A standard Exponential Moving Average (EMA) determines the dominant market direction to contextualize the stress signal.
● How to Use
The indicator plots labels on the chart when specific High Stress conditions are met during a trend:
SE (Seller Exhaustion - Green Label): Appears when the market is in a downtrend (price below EMA), the current candle is bearish, and the liquidity stress Z-Score breaches the upper threshold. This suggests panic selling or a liquidity gap down, often marking a temporary bottom or reversal point.
BE (Buyer Exhaustion - Red Label): Appears when the market is in an uptrend (price above EMA), the current candle is bullish, and the liquidity stress Z-Score breaches the upper threshold. This suggests a melt-up or buying climax into thin liquidity, often preceding a pullback.
● Inputs
Trend Filter Length: The period for the EMA used to determine the baseline trend direction.
Statistical Lookback: The number of bars used to calculate the mean and standard deviation for the Z-Score.
Stress Threshold (Sigma): The Z-Score value required to trigger a high-stress signal. Higher values result in fewer, more extreme signals.
