Premarket Hi/Lo + Prior Day O/C LevelsPremarket Hi/Lo + Prior Day O/C (today only) shows four clear reference levels for the current regular trading session: the Premarket High and Premarket Low (taken from a user-defined premarket window, 04:00–09:30 by default) and Yesterday’s 09:30 Open and 15:59 Close (sourced from the 1-minute feed for accuracy). The premarket levels “lock” at the opening bell so they don’t move for the rest of the day. All four lines are displayed only during today’s regular hours to keep the chart focused. Small right-edge labels and an optional top-right mini-table show the exact values at a glance.
This indicator is designed to give immediate context without technical jargon. The premarket high/low summarize where price traveled before the bell; the prior-day open/close summarize where the last session began and ended. Checking whether price is above or below these markers helps you quickly judge strength or weakness and anticipate where price may pause, bounce, or break. Typical uses include watching for a clean break and hold above Premarket High (often bullish), a break and hold below Premarket Low (often bearish), drift back toward Prior Day Close after a gap (a common “magnet”), and flips around Prior Day Open that can lead to continuation.
Setup: Turn on Extended Hours in TradingView so premarket bars are visible (Chart Settings → Symbol → Extended Hours). Apply the indicator to any intraday timeframe. In Inputs, you can change the premarket window to match your market, adjust colors and line widths, and toggle the floating labels and the mini-table. Times use the chart’s exchange time (for US stocks, Eastern Time).
Notes and limits: Lines show only for today’s session (default 09:30–16:00). The script looks at the previous calendar day for “prior day,” so values may be empty after weekends or holidays when markets were closed. If your instrument uses different regular hours or you trade futures/crypto, adjust the premarket session in Inputs and—if needed—edit the regular-hours window in code to match. If your data source does not include premarket, the premarket lines will be blank.
Best practice: The first 15–30 minutes after the open are where these levels have the most impact. Reactions are more meaningful when a line aligns with another tool you use (e.g., VWAP or your opening range). If price does not react clearly at a line, avoid forcing a trade.

ICT 00:00, 08:30, 09:30 & 13:30 Opens (NY) — Prior-Day HistoryICT 00:00, 08:30, 09:30 & 13:30 Opens (NY)
This is a derivative of ALPHAICTRADER’s open-source script, republished under the MPL-2.0 with clear attribution and documented changes. It plots four New-York–anchored intraday reference levels—0000, 0830, 0930, 1330—as short, right-padded stubs with clean side labels. Use these time anchors (ICT-style midnight + key US windows) to frame bias, volatility pockets, and intraday trade locations.
What’s original in this version (changes)
Right-padded stubs instead of chart-wide rays — each level ends N bars past the latest candle (configurable).
Side labels at the line tip — text-only labels (0000, 0830, 0930, 1330) that sit at the right end of each stub and update every bar.
Optional prior-day history — show Today only or Today + Prior Day; older lines/labels auto-pruned.
Per-anchor controls — Display, Style, Color, Width, and Show Label for each time.
What it plots (and why)
0000 (NY Midnight): daily session anchor for bias/liquidity context.
0830 (NY): macro data window (CPI/NFP/claims) where volatility often concentrates.
0930 (NY): US cash equity market open; opening-drive structure/acceptance tests.
1330 (NY): early-afternoon anchor for continuation vs. fade.
How it works (under the hood)
Session detection: time("1", session, "America/New_York"); first bar flagged via not na(ts) and na(ts ).
Anchor price: open of that first bar per session/day.
Rendering: lines drawn with xloc=bar_index from start bar to bar_index + Right Pad; x2 updates every bar (no extend.right).
Labels: placed at line.get_x2(line) + Label Pad, soft color variant; updated per bar to stay on the tip.
History: arrays keep either today only or today + yesterday and delete anything older immediately.
How to use
Add to any intraday chart (futures/FX/indices). Anchors are always NY-time; TradingView handles DST.
Inputs
00:00 / 08:30 / 09:30 / 13:30 (NY): Display, Line Style, Color, Width, Show Label
Right Edge: Right Pad (bars) · Label Pad (bars)
History: Show Prior Day (History) — off = today only; on = today + yesterday
Suggested pads: Right Pad 2–5 bars; Label Pad 0–2.
These are context anchors, not signals. Combine with your execution model (market structure, liquidity, FVG/OBs, etc.).

Quantile Regression Bands [BackQuant]Quantile Regression Bands
Tail-aware trend channeling built from quantiles of real errors, not just standard deviations.
What it does
This indicator fits a simple linear trend over a rolling lookback and then measures how price has actually deviated from that trend during the window. It then places two pairs of bands at user-chosen quantiles of those deviations (inner and outer). Because bands are based on empirical quantiles rather than a symmetric standard deviation, they adapt to skewed and fat-tailed behaviour and often hug price better in trending or asymmetric markets.
Why “quantile” bands instead of Bollinger-style bands?
Bollinger Bands assume a (roughly) symmetric spread around the mean; quantiles don’t—upper and lower bands can sit at different distances if the error distribution is skewed.
Quantiles are robust to outliers; a single shock won’t inflate the bands for many bars.
You can choose tails precisely (e.g., 1%/99% or 5%/95%) to match your risk appetite.
How it works (intuitive)
Center line — a rolling linear regression approximates the local trend.
Residuals — for each bar in the lookback, the indicator looks at the gap between actual price and where the line “expected” price to be.
Quantiles — those gaps are sorted; you select which percentiles become your inner/outer offsets.
Bands — the chosen quantile offsets are added to the current end of the regression line to draw parallel support/resistance rails.
Smoothing — a light EMA can be applied to reduce jitter in the line and bands.
What you see
Center (linear regression) line (optional).
Inner quantile bands (e.g., 25th/75th) with optional translucent fill.
Outer quantile bands (e.g., 1st/99th) with a multi-step gradient to visualise “tail zones.”
Optional bar coloring: bars trend-colored by whether price is rising above or falling below the center line.
Alerts when price crosses the outer bands (upper or lower).
How to read it
Trend & drift — the slope of the center line is your local trend. Persistent closes on the same side of the center line indicate directional drift.
Pullbacks — tags of the inner band often mark routine pullbacks within trend. Reaction back to the center line can be used for continuation entries/partials.
Tails & squeezes — outer-band touches highlight statistically rare excursions for the chosen window. Frequent outer-band activity can signal regime change or volatility expansion.
Asymmetry — if the upper band sits much further from the center than the lower (or vice versa), recent behaviour has been skewed. Trade management can be adjusted accordingly (e.g., wider take-profit upslope than downslope).
A simple trend interpretation can be derived from the bar colouring
Good use-cases
Volatility-aware mean reversion — fade moves into outer bands back toward the center when trend is flat.
Trend participation — buy pullbacks to the inner band above a rising center; flip logic for shorts below a falling center.
Risk framing — set dynamic stops/targets at quantile rails so position sizing respects recent tail behaviour rather than fixed ticks.
Inputs (quick guide)
Source — price input used for the fit (default: close).
Lookback Length — bars in the regression window and residual sample. Longer = smoother, slower bands; shorter = tighter, more reactive.
Inner/Outer Quantiles (τ) — choose your “typical” vs “tail” levels (e.g., 0.25/0.75 inner, 0.01/0.99 outer).
Show toggles — independently toggle center line, inner bands, outer bands, and their fills.
Colors & transparency — customize band and fill appearance; gradient shading highlights the tail zone.
Band Smoothing Length — small EMA on lines to reduce stair-step artefacts without meaningfully changing levels.
Bar Coloring — optional trend tint from the center line’s momentum.
Practical settings
Swing trading — Length 75–150; inner τ = 0.25/0.75, outer τ = 0.05/0.95.
Intraday — Length 50–100 for liquid futures/FX; consider 0.20/0.80 inner and 0.02/0.98 outer in high-vol assets.
Crypto — Because of fat tails, try slightly wider outers (0.01/0.99) and keep smoothing at 2–4 to tame weekend jumps.
Signal ideas
Continuation — in an uptrend, look for pullback into the lower inner band with a close back above the center as a timing cue.
Exhaustion probe — in ranges, first touch of an outer band followed by a rejection candle back inside the inner band often precedes mean-reversion swings.
Regime shift — repeated closes beyond an outer band or a sharp re-tilt in the center line can mark a new trend phase; adjust tactics (stop-following along the opposite inner band).
Alerts included
“Price Crosses Upper Outer Band” — potential overextension or breakout risk.
“Price Crosses Lower Outer Band” — potential capitulation or breakdown risk.
Notes
The fit and quantiles are computed on a fixed rolling window and do not repaint; bands update as the window moves forward.
Quantiles are based on the recent distribution; if conditions change abruptly, expect band widths and skew to adapt over the next few bars.
Parameter choices directly shape behaviour: longer windows favour stability, tighter inner quantiles increase touch frequency, and extreme outer quantiles highlight only the rarest moves.
Final thought
Quantile bands answer a simple question: “How unusual is this move given the current trend and the way price has been missing it lately?” By scoring that question with real, distribution-aware limits rather than one-size-fits-all volatility you get cleaner pullback zones in trends, more honest “extreme” tags in ranges, and a framework for risk that matches the market’s recent personality.
Contract Interest Turnover T3 [T69]Overview
--------
Contract Interest Turnover (CIT) estimates how “churny” a crypto derivatives market is by comparing the amount traded in a bar to the base stock of outstanding contracts (open interest). It normalizes both Volume and Open Interest (OI) by Price (Close), then plots a Turnover Rate = (Volume/Close) ÷ (OI/Close) as colored columns. Higher values = faster contract recycling (strong momentum / hype potential).
Features
--------
- Auto-fetch OI: Pulls OI via request.security(_OI, …) when the exchange/symbol exposes an OI stream on TradingView.
- Price-normalized comparison: Converts both Volume and OI into comparable notional terms by dividing each by Close.
- Turnover columns with threshold: Color the columns green once Turnover ≥ your set threshold; gray otherwise.
- Status-line readouts: Displays normalized Volume and OI values for quick sanity checks.
- Crypto-aware timeframe: Uses chart TF for crypto; forces daily OI when not crypto to avoid noisy intraday pulls.
How to Use
----------
1. Add the script on a perpetual/futures symbol that has OI on TradingView (e.g., BTC perps where an _OI feed exists).
2. Watch the Turnover Rate bars: spikes above your threshold flag sessions where contracts are actively flipping.
3. Interpret spikes as a signal of movement or activity — it does not specify price direction, only that the market is engaged and contracts are being traded more intensely than usual.
Configuration
-------------
- Interest Turnover Threshold (default 1.0): colors columns green when Turnover ≥ threshold. Tune per market’s typical churn profile.
Under the Hood (Formulas & Logic)
---------------------------------
- Fetch OI
oiClose ← request.security(ticker.standard(syminfo.tickerid) + "_OI", timeframe, close) with ignore_invalid_symbol = true.
If none is found, the script throws a clear runtime error.
- Normalize to price
vol_norm = volume / close
oi_norm = oiClose / close
This converts both to a common notional basis so their ratio is meaningful even as price changes.
- Turnover Rate
turnover = vol_norm / oi_norm
Interpretation: fraction/multiples of the outstanding contract base traded in the bar. Color = green if turnover ≥ threshold.
Why Open Interest ≈ “Float” Proxy
---------------------------------
In stocks, float ≈ shares the public can trade. In derivatives, there are no “shares,” so Open Interest acts as the live stock of active contracts. It’s the best proxy for “what’s available in play” because it counts open positions that persist across bars. Using Volume ÷ OI mirrors stock float-turnover logic: how fast the tradable base is being recycled each period.
Why Normalize by Price
----------------------
Derivatives volume and OI may be reported in contracts, not notional value. One contract’s economic weight changes with price (especially on inverse contracts). Dividing both Volume and OI by Close:
- Puts them on a comparable notional footing.
- Prevents false spikes purely from price moves.
- Makes Turnover comparable across time even as price trends.
Advanced Tips
-------------
- Calibrate threshold: Start from the 80th–90th percentile of the last 60–90 bars of Turnover; set the threshold a touch below that to surface early heat.
- Add OI-delta: Layer an OI change histogram (current − prior) to separate new positioning from pure churn.
- Linear vs inverse: For linear (USDT-margined) contracts, the normalization still works and keeps visuals consistent; for inverse, it’s essential.
Limitations
-----------
- Data availability: Works only if your symbol exposes an _OI feed on TradingView; otherwise it errors out.
- Exchange conventions: Volume units differ by venue (contracts, coin, notional). Normalization mitigates, but cross-symbol comparisons still need caution.
- Intrabar gaps: OI is typically end-of-bar; rapid intrabar shifts won’t appear until the bar closes.
Notes
-----
- Designed primarily for crypto derivatives. For non-crypto, the script blanks OI to avoid misleading plots and uses a daily TF when needed.
Credit
------

VWAP Trend Strategy (Intraday) [KedarArc Quant]Description:
An intraday strategy that anchors to VWAP and only trades when a local EMA trend gate and a volume participation gate are both open. It offers two entry templates—Cross and Cross-and-Retest—with an optional Momentum Exception for impulsive moves. Exits combine a TrendBreak (structure flips) with an ATR emergency stop (risk cap).
Updates will be published under this script.
Why this merits a new script
This is not a simple “VWAP + EMA + ATR” overlay. The components are sequenced as gates and branches that *change the trade set* in ways a visual mashup cannot:
1. Trend Gate first (EMA fast vs. slow on the entry timeframe)
Counter-trend VWAP crosses are suppressed. Many VWAP scripts fire on every cross; here, no entry logic even evaluates unless the trend gate is open.
2. Participation Gate second (Volume SMA × multiplier)
This gate filters thin liquidity moves around VWAP. Without it, the same visuals would produce materially more false triggers.
3. Branching entries with structure awareness
* Cross: Immediate VWAP cross in the trend direction.
* Cross-and-Retest: Requires a revisit to VWAP vicinity within a lookback window (recent low near VWAP for longs; recent high for shorts). This explicitly removes first-touch fakeouts that a plain cross takes.
* Momentum Exception (optional): A quantified body% + volume condition can bypass the retest when flow is impulsive—intentional risk-timing, not “just another indicator.”
4. Dual exits that reference both anchor and structure
* TrendBreak: Close only when price loses VWAP and EMA alignment flips.
* ATR stop: Placed at entry to cap tail risk.
These exits complement the entry structure rather than being generic stop/target add-ons.
What it does
* Trades the session’s fair value anchor (VWAP), but only with local-trend agreement (EMA fast vs. slow) and sufficient participation (volume filter).
* Lets you pick Cross or Cross-and-Retest entries; optionally allow a fast Momentum Exception when candles expand with volume.
* Manages positions with a structure exit (TrendBreak) and an emergency ATR stop from entry.
How it works (concepts & calculations)
* VWAP (session anchor):
Standard VWAP of the active session; entries reference the cross and the retest proximity to VWAP.
* Trend gate:
Long context only if `EMA(fast) > EMA(slow)`; short only if `EMA(fast) < EMA(slow)`.
A *gate*, not a trigger—entries aren’t considered unless this is true.
* Participation (volume) gate:
Require `volume > SMA(volume, volLen) × volMult`.
Screens out low-participation wiggles around VWAP.
Entries:
* Cross: Price crosses VWAP in the trend direction while volume gate is open.
* Cross-and-Retest: After crossing, price revisits VWAP vicinity within `lookback` (recent *low near VWAP* for longs; recent *high near VWAP* for shorts).
* Momentum Exception (optional): If body% (|close−open| / range) and volume exceed thresholds, enter without waiting for the retest.
Exits:
* TrendBreak (structure):
* Longs close when `price < VWAP` and `EMA(fast) < EMA(slow)` (mirror for shorts).
* ATR stop (risk):
* From entry: `stop = entry ± ATR(atrLen) × atrMult`.
How to use it ?
1. Select market & timeframe: Intraday on liquid symbols (equities, futures, crypto).
2. Pick entry mode:
* Start with Cross-and-Retest for fewer, more selective signals.
* Enable Momentum Exception if strong moves leave without retesting.
3. Tune guards:
* Raise `volMult` to ignore thin periods; lower it for more activity.
* Adjust `lookback` if retests come late/early on your symbol.
4. Risk:
* `atrLen` and `atrMult` set the emergency stop distance.
5. Read results per session: Optional panel (if enabled) summarizes Net-R, Win%, and PF for today’s session to evaluate
behavior regime by regime.

Normalized Volume Z-Score
The Normalized Volume Z-Score indicator measures how unusual the current trading volume is compared to its recent history.
It calculates the z-score of volume over a user-defined lookback period (default: 50 bars), optionally using log-volume normalization.
A z-score tells you how many standard deviations today’s volume is away from its mean:
Z = 0 → volume is at its average.
Z > 0 → volume is higher than average.
Z < 0 → volume is lower than average.
Threshold lines (±2 by default) highlight extreme deviations, which often signal unusual market activity.
How to Trade with It
High positive Z-score (> +2):
Indicates abnormally high volume. This often happens during breakouts, strong trend continuations, or capitulation events.
→ Traders may look for confirmation from price action (e.g., breakout candle, strong trend bar) before entering a trade.
High negative Z-score (< –2):
Indicates unusually low volume. This may signal lack of interest, consolidation, or exhaustion.
→ Traders may avoid entering new positions during these periods or expect potential reversals once volume returns.
Cross back inside thresholds:
When z-score returns inside ±2 after an extreme spike, it may suggest that the abnormal activity has cooled down.
Tips
Works best when combined with price structure (support/resistance, demand/supply zones).
Can be applied to crypto, stocks, forex, futures – anywhere volume is meaningful.
Log normalization helps reduce distortion when some days have extremely large volumes.
Cumulative Returns by Session [BackQuant]Cumulative Returns by Session
What this is
This tool breaks the trading day into three user-defined sessions and tracks how much each session contributes to return, volatility, and volume. It then aggregates results over a rolling window so you can see which session has been pulling its weight, how streaky each session has been, and how sessions relate to one another through a compact correlation heatmap.
We’ve also given the functionality for the user to use a simplified table, just by switching off all settings they are not interested in.
How it works
1) Session segmentation
You define APAC, EU, and US sessions with explicit hours and time zones. The script detects when each session starts and ends on every intraday bar and records its open, intraday high and low, close, and summed volume.
2) Per-session math
At each session end the script computes:
Return — either Percent: (Close−Open)÷Open×100(Close − Open) ÷ Open × 100(Close−Open)÷Open×100 or Points: (Close−Open)(Close − Open)(Close−Open), based on your selection.
Volatility — either Range: (High−Low)÷Open×100(High − Low) ÷ Open × 100(High−Low)÷Open×100 or ATR scaled by price: ATR÷Open×100ATR ÷ Open × 100ATR÷Open×100.
Volume — total volume transacted during that session.
3) Storage and lookback
Each day’s three session stats are stored as a row. You choose how many recent sessions to keep in memory. The script then:
Builds cumulative returns for APAC, EU, US across the lookback.
Computes averages, win rates, and a Sharpe-like ratio avgreturn÷avgvolatilityavg return ÷ avg volatilityavgreturn÷avgvolatility per session.
Tracks streaks of positive or negative sessions to show momentum.
Tracks drawdowns on cumulative returns to show worst runs from peak.
Computes rolling means over a short window for short-term drift.
4) Correlation heatmap
Using the stored arrays of session returns, the script calculates Pearson correlations between APAC–EU, APAC–US, and EU–US, and colors the matrix by strength and sign so you can spot coupling or decoupling at a glance.
What it plots
Three lines: cumulative return for APAC, EU, US over the chosen lookback.
Zero reference line for orientation.
A statistics table with cumulative %, average %, positive session rate, and optional columns for volatility, average volume, max drawdown, current streak, return-to-vol ratio, and rolling average.
A small correlation heatmap table showing APAC, EU, US cross-session correlations.
How to use it
Pick the asset — leave Custom Instrument empty to use the chart symbol, or point to another symbol for cross-asset studies.
Set your sessions and time zones — defaults approximate APAC, EU, and US hours, but you can align them to exchange times or your workflow.
Choose calculation modes — Percent vs Points for return, Range vs ATR for volatility. Points are convenient for futures and fixed-tick assets, Percent is comparable across symbols.
Decide the lookback — more sessions smooths lines and stats; fewer sessions makes the tool more reactive.
Toggle analytics — add volatility, volume, drawdown, streaks, Sharpe-like ratio, rolling averages, and the correlation table as needed.
Why session attribution helps
Different sessions are driven by different flows. Asia often sets the overnight tone, Europe adds liquidity and direction changes, and the US session can dominate range expansion. Separating contributions by session helps you:
Identify which session has been the main driver of net trend.
Measure whether volatility or volume is concentrated in a specific window.
See if one session’s gains are consistently given back in another.
Adapt tactics: fade during a mean-reverting session, press during a trending session.
Reading the tables
Cumulative % — sum of session returns over the lookback. The sign and slope tell you who is carrying the move.
Avg Return % and Positive Sessions % — direction and hit rate. A low average but high hit rate implies many small moves; the reverse implies occasional big swings.
Avg Volatility % — typical intrabars range for that session. Compare with Avg Return to judge efficiency.
Return/Vol Ratio — return per unit of volatility. Higher is better for stability.
Max Drawdown % — worst cumulative give-back within the lookback. A quick way to spot riskiness by session.
Current Streak — consecutive up or down sessions. Useful for mean-reversion or regime awareness.
Rolling Avg % — short-window drift indicator to catch recent turnarounds.
Correlation matrix — green clusters indicate sessions tending to move together; red indicates offsetting behavior.

Common applications
Session bias mapping — find which window tends to trend in your market and plan exposure accordingly.
Strategy scheduling — allocate attention or risk to the session with the best return-to-vol ratio.
News and macro awareness — see if correlation rises around central bank cycles or major data releases.
Cross-asset monitoring — set the Custom Instrument to a driver (index future, DXY, yields) to see if your symbol reacts in a particular session.
Notes
This indicator works on intraday charts, since sessions are defined within a day. If you change session clocks or time zones, give the script a few bars to accumulate fresh rows. Percent vs Points and Range vs ATR choices affect comparability across assets, so be consistent when comparing symbols.
Session context is one of the simplest ways to explain a messy tape. By separating the day into three windows and scoring each one on return, volatility, and consistency, this tool shows not just where price ended up but when and how it got there. Use the cumulative lines to spot the steady driver, read the table to judge quality and risk, and glance at the heatmap to learn whether the sessions are amplifying or canceling one another. Adjust the hours to your market and let the data tell you which session deserves your focus.
CVD Spaghetti - Multi-Exchange (Perpetuals)CVD Spaghetti – Multi-Exchange (Perpetuals) is designed to track and visualize Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) across multiple cryptocurrency perpetual futures exchanges in one consolidated view. This indicator provides traders with a clearer perspective on buying and selling pressure by monitoring how order flow develops on different venues simultaneously.
What it does
The script calculates the CVD for each enabled exchange and plots them as separate lines on a single chart, creating a “spaghetti” style visualization. This allows traders to identify relative strength or weakness between major exchanges, which can often hint at institutional positioning, liquidity shifts, and potential market imbalances.
Why it’s useful
Order flow and liquidity dynamics can differ significantly between exchanges. By aggregating and comparing these flows, traders can:
Detect which venue is leading during trend development.
Spot divergences between exchanges, which may indicate inefficiencies or arbitrage-driven movements.
Gauge overall sentiment strength by comparing multiple sources instead of relying on a single dataset.
Technical details
Anchor Period Reset: The cumulative calculation resets based on the user-defined Anchor Period (default: daily), keeping data relevant for the chosen trading horizon.
Dynamic Resolution: The script automatically selects an appropriate lower timeframe for data requests based on the chart timeframe to maintain responsiveness and accuracy.
Normalization: Not all exchanges report volume in the same way—some use quote currency (USD), others in contracts or ticks. To ensure comparability, this indicator normalizes volumes where necessary:
Bybit USD and OKX contracts are divided by price to approximate base-coin terms.
Single-contract venues (e.g., Deribit) are normalized similarly.
Exchanges already reporting in the base currency remain unchanged.
Multi-Exchange Coverage: Supports major venues including Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, Coinbase, and optional secondary exchanges like Blofin, Whitebit, and Deribit.
Visual Aids:
Zero baseline for directional reference.
Vertical session markers at each reset point.
Optional exchange labels positioned dynamically on the last bar for quick identification.
How traders might use it
Trend confirmation: Strong synchronized CVD across all major exchanges supports continuation; fragmentation may suggest weakening conviction.
Cross-exchange divergence: When one exchange’s CVD diverges from others, it can signal localized liquidity shocks or large player activity.
High-frequency strategies: On lower timeframes, the spaghetti view can highlight which venue is absorbing or providing liquidity fastest, aiding short-term decision-making.

ALMA Length Medium: Set the medium-term smoothing parameter (default: 5). This provides a balance between responsiveness and stability
ALMA Length Long: Set the long-term smoothing parameter (default: 13). Higher values provide more stable signals but with less responsiveness
ALMA Length Very Long: Set the very long-term smoothing parameter (default: 21). This provides the most stable support/resistance levels
Understand the Visual Elements
Green Candles: Indicate bullish momentum when price is above the bear market zone (support)
Red Candles: Indicate bearish momentum when price is below the bull market zone (resistance)
White Candles: Indicate neutral market conditions when price is between support and resistance zones
Blue Histogram: Shows bear market zone when price is below support level
Aqua Histogram: Shows bull market zone when price is above resistance level
"B" Labels: Mark buy signals when price crosses above resistance
"S" Labels: Mark sell signals when price crosses below support
Identify Market Regimes
Bullish Regime: Price consistently above resistance zone with green candles and aqua histogram
Bearish Regime: Price consistently below support zone with red candles and blue histogram
Neutral Regime: Price oscillating between support and resistance zones with white candles
Generate Trading Signals
Buy Signals: Look for price crossing above the bull market zone (resistance) with confirmation from green candles
Sell Signals: Look for price crossing below the bear market zone (support) with confirmation from red candles
Confirmation: Always wait for confirmation from candle color changes before entering trades
Optimize for Different Timeframes
Scalping: Use shorter ALMA lengths (3-5) for 1-5 minute charts
Day Trading: Use medium ALMA lengths (5-13) for 15-60 minute charts
Swing Trading: Use longer ALMA lengths (13-21) for 1-4 hour charts
Position Trading: Use very long ALMA lengths (21+) for daily and weekly charts
LIMITATIONS
Whipsaw Markets: The indicator may generate false signals in choppy, sideways markets where price oscillates rapidly between support and resistance
Lagging Nature: Like all moving average-based indicators, there is inherent lag in the calculations, which may result in delayed signals
Not a Standalone Tool: This indicator should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and risk management strategies
Market Structure Dependency: Performance may vary depending on market structure and volatility conditions
Parameter Sensitivity: Different markets may require different parameter settings for optimal performance
No Volume Integration: The indicator does not incorporate volume data, which could provide additional confirmation signals
Limited Backtesting: Pine Script limitations may restrict comprehensive backtesting capabilities
Not Suitable for All Instruments: May perform differently on stocks, forex, crypto, and futures markets
Requires Confirmation: Signals should always be confirmed with other indicators or price action analysis
Not Predictive: The indicator identifies current market conditions but does not predict future price movements
NOTES
ALMA Algorithm: The indicator uses the Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA) algorithm, which is known for its excellent smoothing capabilities and reduced lag compared to traditional moving averages
Weighted Price Calculations: The bear market zone uses (2low + close) / 3, while the bull market zone uses (high + 2close) / 3, providing more weight to recent price action
Dynamic Zones: The support and resistance zones are dynamic and adapt to changing market conditions, making them more responsive than static levels
Color Psychology: The color scheme follows traditional trading psychology - green for bullish, red for bearish, and white for neutral
Signal Timing: The signals are generated on the close of each bar, ensuring they are based on complete price action
Label Positioning: Buy signals appear below the bar (red "B" label), while sell signals appear above the bar (green "S" label)
Multiple Timeframes: The indicator can be applied to multiple timeframes simultaneously for comprehensive analysis
Risk Management: Always use proper risk management techniques when trading based on indicator signals
Market Context: Consider the overall market context and trend direction when interpreting signals
Confirmation: Look for confirmation from other indicators or price action patterns before entering trades
Practice: Test the indicator on historical data before using it in live trading
Customization: Feel free to experiment with different parameter combinations to find what works best for your trading style

% of Average Volume% of Average Volume (RVOL)
What it is
This indicator measures cumulative volume during pre market and separately during the first 10 minutes of trading and compares it to the average 30 day volume. This matters as a high ratio of volume within the premarket and then during the first 10 minutes of trading can correlate to a stock that has a higher probability of trending in that direction throughout the day.
What it’s meant to do
Identify abnormally high or low participation early in the day.
Normalize volume by time of session, so 9:40 volume is compared to past 9:40 volume—not to the full-day total.
Provide consistent RVOL across 1–5–15–60 minute charts (the same market state yields similar readings).
Handle pre-market cleanly (optional) without inflating RVOL.
How it works (plain English)
Cumulative Intraday Volume: Adds up all bars from the session (or pre-market, if enabled) up to “now.”
Time-Matched Baseline: For each prior day in your lookback, it accumulates only up to the same intraday minute and averages those values.
RVOL %: RVOL = (Today cumulative / Average cumulative at same time) × 100.
This “like-for-like” approach prevents the classic mistakes that overstate RVOL in pre-market or make it drift with timeframe changes.
Works best on
Intraday charts: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60 min
Regular & extended hours: NYSE/Nasdaq equities, futures, ETFs
Daily/weekly views are supported for reference, but the edge comes from intraday time-matched analysis.
Tip: For thin names or very early pre-market, expect more variability—lower liquidity increases noise.
Customization (Inputs → Settings)
Lookback Sessions (e.g., 20): How many prior trading days to build the average.
Include Pre-Market (on/off): If on, RVOL accumulates from pre-market start and compares to historical pre-market at the same time; if off, it begins at the regular session open only.
Session Timezone / Exchange Hours: Choose the session definition that matches your market (e.g., NYSE) so “time-matched” means the same thing every day.
Cutoff Minute (Optional): Fix a reference minute (e.g., 6:40 a.m. PT / 9:40 a.m. ET) to evaluate RVOL at a standard check-in time.
Smoothing (Optional): Apply a short moving average to the RVOL line to reduce jitter.
Thresholds & Colors: Set levels (e.g., 150%, 300%) to color the plot/labels and trigger alerts.
Show Labels/Debug: Toggle on-chart labels (current RVOL%, baseline vols) for quick audits.
On-chart visuals & alerts
RVOL% Line/Histogram: Color-coded by thresholds (e.g., >300% “exceptional”, >150% “elevated”).
Session Markers: Optional vertical lines for pre-market/regular open.
Alerts:
RVOL Crosses Above X% (e.g., 150%, 300%)
RVOL Crosses Below X%
RVOL Rising/Falling (slope-based, optional)
Good defaults to start
Lookback: 20 sessions
Pre-market: Off for large caps, On for momentum screens
Thresholds: 150% (notable), 300% (exceptional)
Smoothing: 0–3 bars (or off for fastest response)
Notes & best practices
Timeframe consistency: Because calculations are time-matched, RVOL should remain directionally consistent across intraday timeframes. If you see divergences, confirm your session hours & timezone match your instrument’s exchange.
Holiday/half days: These are included in history; you can shorten lookback or exclude such sessions if your workflow prefers.
Low-float names: Consider a slightly longer lookback to reduce outlier effects.
TL;DR
A time-matched RVOL that treats pre-market correctly, stays stable across intraday timeframes, and is fully customizable for your exchange hours, thresholds, and alerts—so you can spot real participation when it matters.

Universal Stochastic Fusion (Simplified) — v6What this indicator is
This indicator is called Universal Stochastic Fusion (USF).
It’s a tool that helps traders see when the market might be too high (overbought) or too low (oversold), and when it might be a good time to buy or sell.
________________________________________
How it works
Think of the market like a rubber band.
• If the band stretches too far up, it usually snaps back down.
• If it stretches too far down, it usually bounces back up.
The USF indicator measures this stretch using something called the Stochastic Oscillator (just a fancy way of saying it looks at where the current price sits compared to recent highs and lows).
It shows this on a scale from 0 to 100:
• Near 100 → market is stretched upward (too hot).
• Near 0 → market is stretched downward (too cold).
• Around 50 → normal, middle ground.
________________________________________
What’s special about USF
1. Two views at once
o It lets you see the market’s stretch on your current chart and on another timeframe (like a daily view).
o This way, you can see the short-term and the bigger picture together.
2. Smart levels
o Instead of always using the same “too high/too low” levels (like 80 and 20), it can adjust these lines automatically depending on how wild or calm the market is.
3. Buy and Sell signals
o When the market looks too low and starts turning up, it can mark a BUY.
o When the market looks too high and starts turning down, it can mark a SELL.
4. Extra filter (optional)
o It can also use another tool (RSI) to double-check signals, so you don’t get as many false alerts.
________________________________________
How this helps traders
• It helps traders avoid buying when prices are already too high.
• It helps them spot possible bottoms where prices may bounce back.
• It combines short-term and long-term signals so traders don’t get tricked by quick moves.
________________________________________
Where it works
This indicator is universal — meaning it works on almost any market:
• Stocks (like Apple, Tesla, etc.)
• Forex (currencies like EUR/USD)
• Crypto (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.)
• Commodities (Gold, Oil, etc.)
• Futures and Indices (S&P 500, Nasdaq, etc.)
Because all these markets share the same pattern of prices going up and down too much and then pulling back, the USF can be applied everywhere.
________________________________________
👉 In short:
The Universal Stochastic Fusion is like a heat meter for the market.
It tells you when prices might be too hot (good chance to sell) or too cold (good chance to buy), and it works in all markets and timeframes.

Sniper Swing — Short TF (Clean Signals) [v6]📘 How to Use the Sniper Swing Indicator
1. What It Does
It looks for short-term swing breaks in price.
It uses an oscillator (RSI/Stoch) and swing pivots to confirm moves.
It gives you 3 clear signals only:
BUY → Enter long (expecting price to go up).
Gay bear → Enter short (expecting price to go down).
EXIT → Close your trade (long or short).
Candles also change color:
Green = in a BUY trade.
Red = in a Gay bear trade.
Neutral (gray/none) = no trade.
2. When to Use
Works best on short timeframes (1m–5m) for scalping/intraday.
Use on liquid markets (MES/ES, NQ, SPY, BTC, ETH).
Avoid dead hours with no volume (like overnight futures lull or midday chop).
3. How to Trade With It
A. BUY trade
Wait for a BUY triangle below the candle.
Confirm:
Candle turned green.
Price broke a recent swing high.
Oscillator shows strength (indicator does this for you).
Enter long at the close of that candle.
Place your stop-loss:
At the yellow stop line (auto trailing stop), or
Just below the last swing low.
Stay in while candles are green.
Exit when:
An orange X appears, or
Price hits your stop.
B. Gay bear (short) trade
Wait for a Gay bear triangle above the candle.
Confirm:
Candle turned red.
Price broke a recent swing low.
Oscillator shows weakness.
Enter short at the close of that candle.
Place stop-loss:
At the yellow stop line, or
Just above the last swing high.
Stay in while candles are red.
Exit on an orange X or stop hit.
4. Pro Tips for New Traders
Only take one signal at a time → don’t double dip.
Quality > Quantity: ignore weak, sideways markets. Best signals happen during trends.
Start small: trade micros (MES) or small position sizes.
Use alerts: set TradingView alerts for BUY/Gay bear/EXIT so you don’t miss setups.
Think of the indicator like a navigator: it tells you the likely path, but you’re the driver → always manage risk.
5. Quick Mental Checklist
Signal? (BUY or Gay bear triangle)
Confirmed? (candle color + swing break)
Enter? (on close)
Stop? (yellow line or swing)
Exit? (orange X or stop)
CAP - KC/AC 2.20462 Converter// ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
// Purpose: Conversion Indicator for ICE “C” (KC) and “C Metric” (AC) Contracts
//
// Background:
// - The Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) is phasing out the legacy Coffee “C” contract (symbol: KC),
// which has been quoted in U.S. cents per pound, and replacing it with the new Coffee “C Metric” contract (symbol: AC),
// quoted in U.S. dollars per metric ton :contentReference {index=0}.
// - The final KC futures expire in March 2028; AC contracts begin trading in September 2025 and use modern specifications
// including pricing per metric ton and flexible bulk delivery formats :contentReference {index=1}.
//
// Why this script matters:
// - Traders are accustomed to the KC pricing format (¢/lb); the AC contract’s USD/MT may create confusion.
// - This indicator visually converts the current chart price—whether from KC or AC contracts—directly into its equivalent unit,
// helping traders quickly assess parity and compare trends across both contract types.
// - It simplifies head-to-head comparison during this transition period, improving clarity on chart price behavior.
//
// Usage instructions:
// - If the symbol starts with "KC", the script divides the price by 2.20462 to convert from ¢/lb to approximate ¢/kg.
// - If the symbol starts with "AC", the script multiplies the price by 2.20462 to reverse the conversion.
// - The results (converted values) are displayed in a table for immediate visual clarity.

Kalkulator pozycji N100This indicator is a real-time position size calculator designed specifically for NASDAQ 100 futures (E-mini NQ and Micro NQ). It works on any timeframe, best on 1-minute charts, and calculates your position size based on candle body (ignoring wicks). This allows you to always see your exact risk and the number of contracts you can take before the candle closes.
Perfect Price-Anchored % Fib Grid This indicator generates support and resistance levels anchored to a fixed price of your choice.
You can also specify a percentage for the indicator to calculate potential highs and lows.
Commonly used values are 3.5% or 7%, as well as smaller decimal versions like 0.35% or 0.7%, depending on the volatility you expect.
In addition, the indicator can highlight potential stop-run levels in multiples of 27 — ranging from 0 up to 243. This automatically places the 243 GB range directly onto your chart.
The tool is versatile and can be applied not only to equities, but also to ES futures and Forex markets.
Volatility Forecast/*==============================================================================
Volatility Forecast — Publishable Documentation
Author: @BB_9791
License: Mozilla Public License 2.0
WHAT THIS INDICATOR SHOWS
- A daily volatility estimate in percent points, called sigma_day.
- A slow volatility anchor, the 10-year EMA of sigma_day.
- A blended volatility series in percent points:
sigma_blend = (1 − p) * sigma_day + p * EMA_10y(sigma_day)
where p is the Slow weight %, default 30.
- Optional annualization by multiplying by 16, this is a daily-to-annual
conversion used by Robert Carver in his writings.
METHODOLOGY, CREDIT
The estimator follows the approach popularized by Robert Carver
("Systematic Trading", "Advanced Futures Trading Strategies", blog qoppac).
Current daily volatility is computed as an exponentially weighted standard
deviation of daily percent returns, with alpha = 2 / (span + 1).
The slow leg is a long EMA of that volatility series, about 10 years.
The blend uses fixed weights. This keeps the slow leg meaningful through
large price level changes, since the blend is done in percent space first.
MATH DETAILS
Let r_t be daily percent return:
r_t = 100 * (Close_t / Close_{t−1} − 1)
EWMA mean and variance:
m_t = α * r_t + (1 − α) * m_{t−1}
v_t = α * (r_t − m_t)^2 + (1 − α) * v_{t−1}
where α = 2 / (span_current + 1)
Current daily sigma in percent points:
sigma_day = sqrt(v_t)
Slow leg:
sigma_10y = EMA(sigma_day, span_long)
Blend:
sigma_blend = (1 − p) * sigma_day + p * sigma_10y
Annualized option:
sigma_ann = 16 * sigma_blend
INPUTS
- Threshold (percent points): horizontal guide level on the chart.
- Short term span (days): EW stdev span for sigma_day.
- Long term span (days): EMA span for the slow leg, choose about 2500 for 10 years.
- Slow weight %: p in the blend.
- Annualize (x16): plot daily or annualized values.
- Show components: toggles Current and 10y EMA lines.
- The script uses the chart symbol by default.
PLOTS
- Blended σ% as the main line.
- Optional Current σ% and 10y EMA σ%.
- Editable horizontal threshold line in the same units as the plot
(percent points per day or per year).
- Optional EMA 9 and EMA 20 cloud on the blended series, green for uptrend
when EMA 9 is above EMA 20, red otherwise. Opacity is configurable.
HOW TO READ
- Values are percent points of movement per day when not annualized,
for example 1.2 means about 1.2% typical daily move.
- With annualize checked, values are percent points per year, for example 18
means about 18% annualized volatility.
- Use the threshold and the EMA cloud to mark high or low volatility regimes.
NOTES
- All calculations use daily data via request.security at the chart symbol.
- The blend is done in percent space, then optionally annualized, which avoids
bias from the price level.
- This script does not produce trading signals by itself, it is a risk and
regime indicator.

Market State Momentum OscillatorMarket State Momentum Oscillator (MSMO)
Overview
The MSMO combines three elements in one panel:
Momentum oscillator (gray/blue area with aqua signal line)
Market State filter (green/red background area)
Money Flow Index (orange line)
Works on all markets and all timeframes. Non-repainting at bar close.
Colors and meaning
Gray area: Momentum above 0 (bullish bias)
Blue area: Momentum below 0 (bearish bias)
Aqua line: Signal line smoothing the oscillator
Green background: Market state bullish (price above moving average)
Red background: Market state bearish (price below moving average)
Orange line: Money Flow Index (volume-weighted momentum)
How to use
Always wait for confirmation of the green or red market state before acting.
Trend alignment: Watch the slope of the Weekly and Daily 200 MA and Weekly and Daily 50 MA to understand higher-timeframe trend direction. Trade only in alignment with the broader trend.
Entries:
Long: Green state + gray histogram rising + MFI trending up
Short: Red state + blue histogram falling + MFI trending down
Exits: Histogram crossing back through 0, or state background flips against the position.
Users can add chart alerts on plot crossings if needed.
Inputs
Lengths for oscillator pivot, signal smoothing, state moving average, trend weight, return %, and Money Flow Index. Defaults work for most charts.

VWAP Confluência 3x VWAP Confluence 3x — Daily · Weekly · Anchored
Purpose
A pragmatic VWAP suite for execution and risk management. It plots three institutional reference lines: Daily VWAP, Weekly VWAP, and an Anchored VWAP (AVWAP) starting from a user-defined event (news, earnings, session open, swing high/low).
Why it matters
VWAP is the market’s “fair price” weighted by where volume actually traded. Confluence across timeframes and events turns noisy charts into actionable bias and clean levels.
What it does
Daily VWAP — resets each trading day; intraday “fair value.”
Weekly VWAP — resets each week; swing context and larger player defense.
Anchored VWAP — starts at a precise timestamp you set (e.g., news release).
Price source toggle — Typical Price

(H+L+C)/3 or Close.
Visibility switches — enable/disable each line independently.
Anchor marker — labels the first bar of the AVWAP.
Inputs
Show Daily VWAP (on/off)
Show Weekly VWAP (on/off)
Show Anchored VWAP (on/off)
Price Source: Typical (H+L+C)/3 or Close
Anchor Time: timestamp of your event (uses the chart/exchange timezone)
How to anchor to a news event
Find the exact release time as shown in your chart’s timezone.
Open the indicator settings → set Anchor Time to that minute.
The AVWAP begins at that bar and accumulates forward.
Playbook (examples, not signals)
Strong long bias: price above Daily and Weekly VWAP; AVWAP reclaimed after news.
Strong short bias: price below Daily and Weekly; AVWAP reject after news.
Mean-revert zones: price stretches far from the active VWAPs and snaps back; size around VWAP with tight risk.
Targets: opposite VWAP, prior day/week highs/lows, or liquidity pools near AVWAP.
Best used with
Session highs/lows, liquidity sweeps, volume profile, and time-of-day filters.
Notes & limitations
Works best on markets with reliable volume (equities, futures, liquid crypto). FX spot uses synthetic volume—interpret accordingly.
Anchor Time respects the chart’s timezone. Convert news times before setting.
This is an indicator, not a backtestable strategy. No trade advice.

PumpC PAC & MAsPumpC – PAC & MAs (Open Source)
A complete Price Action Candles (PAC) toolkit combining classical price action patterns (Fair Value Gaps, Inside Bars, Hammers, Inverted Hammers, and Volume Imbalances) with a flexible Moving Averages (MAs) module and an advanced bar-coloring system.
This script highlights supply/demand inefficiencies and micro-patterns with forward-extending boxes, recolors zones when mitigated, qualifies patterns with a global High-Volume filter, and ships with ready-to-use alerts. It works across intraday through swing trading on any market (e.g., NASDAQ:QQQ , $CME:ES1!, FX:EURUSD , BITSTAMP:BTCUSD ).
This is an open-source script. The description is detailed so users understand what the script does, how it works, and how to use it. It makes no performance claims and does not provide trade advice.
Acknowledgment & Credits
This script originates from the structural and box-handling logic found in the Super OrderBlock / FVG / BoS Tools by makuchaku & eFe. Their pioneering framework provided the base methods for managing arrays of boxes, extending zones forward, and recoloring once mitigated.
Building on that foundation, I have substantially expanded and adapted the code to create a unified Price Action Candles toolkit . This includes Al Brooks–inspired PAC logic, additional patterns like Inside Bars, Hammers, Inverted Hammers, and the new Volume Imbalance module, along with strong-bar coloring, close-threshold detection, a flexible global High-Volume filter, and a multi-timeframe Moving Averages system.
What it does
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) : Detects 3-bar displacement gaps, plots forward-extending boxes, and optionally recolors them once mitigated.
Inside Bars (IB) : Highlights bars fully contained within the prior candle’s range, with optional high-volume filter.
Hammers (H) & Inverted Hammers (IH) : Identifies rejection candles using configurable body/upper/lower wick thresholds. High-volume qualification optional.
Volume Imbalances (VI) : Detects inter-body gaps where one candle’s body does not overlap the prior candle’s body. Boxes extend forward until wick-based mitigation occurs (only after the two-bar formation completes). Alerts available for creation and mitigation.
Mitigation Recolor : Each pattern can flip to a mitigated color once price trades back through its vertical zone.
Moving Averages (MAs) : Four configurable EMAs/SMAs, with per-MA timeframe, length, color, and clutter-free plotting rules.
Strong Bar Coloring : Highlights bullish/bearish engulfing reversals with different colors for high-volume vs low-volume cases.
Close Threshold Bars : Marks candles that close in the top or bottom portion of their range, even if the body is small. Helps spot continuation pressure before a full trend bar forms.
Alerts : Notifications available for FVG+, FVG−, IB, H, IH, VI creation, and VI mitigation.
Connection to Al Brooks’ PAC teachings
This script reflects Al Brooks’ Price Action Candle methodology. PAC patterns like Inside Bars, Hammers, and Inverted Hammers are not trade signals on their own—they gain meaning in context of trend, failed breakouts, and effort vs. result.
By layering in volume imbalances, strong-bar reversals, and volume filters, this script focuses attention on the PACs that show true participation and conviction, aligning with Brooks’ emphasis on reading crowd psychology through price action.
Why the High-Volume filter matters
Volume is a key proxy for conviction. A PAC or VI formed on light volume can be misleading noise; one formed on above-average volume carries more weight.
Elevates Inside Bars that show absorption/compression with heavy activity.
Distinguishes Hammers that reject price aggressively vs. weak drifts.
Filters Inverted Hammers to emphasize true supply pressure.
Highlights VI zones where institutional order flow left inefficiencies.
Differentiates strong engulfing reversals from weaker, low-participation moves.
Inputs & Customization
Inputs are grouped logically for fast configuration:
High-Volume Filter : Global lookback & multiple, per-pattern toggles.
FVG : Visibility, mitigated recolor, box style/transparency, label controls.
IB : Visibility, require high volume, mitigated recolor, colors, label settings.
Hammer / IH : Visibility, require high volume, mitigated recolor, wick/body thresholds.
VI : Visibility, require high volume, mitigated recolor, box style, labels, mitigation alerts.
Strong Bars : Enable/disable, separate colors for high-volume and low-volume outcomes.
Close Threshold Bars : Customizable close thresholds, labels, optional count markers.
MAs : EMA/SMA type, per-MA toggle, length, timeframe, color.
Alerts
New Bullish FVG (+)
New Bearish FVG (−)
New Inside Bar (IB)
New Hammer (H)
New Inverted Hammer (IH)
New Volume Imbalance (VI)
VI Mitigated
Strong Bullish Engulfing / Bearish Engulfing (high- and low-volume variants)
Suggested workflow
Choose your market & timeframe (script works across equities, futures, FX, crypto).
Toggle only the PACs you actually trade. Assign distinct colors for clarity.
Use MAs for directional bias and higher timeframe structure.
Enable High-Volume filters when you want to emphasize conviction.
Watch mitigation recolors to see which levels/zones have been interacted with.
Use alerts selectively for setups aligned with your plan.
Originality
Builds upon Super OrderBlock / FVG / BoS Tools (makuchaku & eFe) for FVG/box framework.
Expanded into a unified PAC toolkit including IB, H, IH, and VI patterns.
Brooks-inspired design: Patterns contextualized with volume and trend, not isolated.
Flexible high-volume gating with per-pattern toggles.
New VI integration with wick-based mitigation.
Strong Bar Coloring differentiates conviction vs weak reversals.
MTF-aware MAs prevent clutter while providing structure.
Open-source: Transparent for learning, editing, and extension.
