TICK Indicator with Extreme AlertsOverview:
This indicator is designed to provide intraday traders (especially those trading SPX, ES, and NQ) with a clearer NYSE TICK analysis tool featuring visual alerts. Unlike traditional TICK line charts, this indicator utilizes OHLC Candlesticks to display data, allowing you to fully view the Open, High, Low, and Close within a specific timeframe, thereby capturing instantaneous liquidity sweeps.
Core Features & Logic:
Candlestick Visualization (OHLC Candles): Uses the USI:TICK.US data source by default. The candlestick patterns allow you to clearly see if the TICK pierced key levels intraday but retraced by the close—vital information that standard line charts often miss.
Dual Key Level System: The indicator is designed with two independent reference tiers for trend observation and reversal detection:
Reference Lines (+/- 800): Marked by gray dashed lines. These represent the standard bull/bear dividing zones. When TICK sustains above +800 or below -800, it typically indicates a strong trending market.
Extreme Alerts (+/- 1000): These thresholds are used to identify extreme market sentiment (overbought/oversold conditions).
Background Highlight Alerts (Visual Alerts): To reduce screen-watching fatigue, the indicator automatically highlights the candlestick background when extreme market sentiment occurs:
Green Background: Triggered when TICK High breaks above +1000. Represents extreme buying sentiment, potentially indicating exhaustion or a short squeeze.
Red Background: Triggered when TICK Low drops below -1000. Represents extreme panic selling (Washout), often serving as a potential signal for an intraday reversal or a short-term bottom.
Custom Settings:
All thresholds (800 reference lines, 1000 alert lines) are fully adjustable in the settings.
All colors (Candles, Reference Lines, Background Alert Colors) can be customized.
Use Cases: This tool is ideal for intraday counter-trend or trend-following trading when combined with Price Action analysis and key Support & Resistance levels.

WASDE Dates V2WASDE Dates V2 – USDA Release Calendar with Alerts, Countdown & Event Markers
By cot-trader.com
WASDE Dates V2 is a complete and reliable visualization tool for all scheduled WASDE (World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates) releases for 2025 and 2026.
The USDA’s WASDE report is one of the most market-moving fundamental catalysts in agricultural futures—affecting Corn (ZC), Wheat (ZW), Soybeans (ZS), Soymeal (ZM), Soybean Oil (ZL), and many related CFD products.
This script gives traders a precise timing layer directly inside their TradingView charts.
🔍 What this script does
WASDE Dates V2 automatically:
Marks each WASDE release day with a vertical line and label.
Shows an automated countdown to the next WASDE release:
In days (>24h)
In hours & minutes (<24h)
Displays an optional table of upcoming WASDE dates for quick reference.
Provides two alert conditions:
WASDE Day Alert – triggers exactly on the event
WASDE 24h Reminder – pre-alert when less than 24 hours remain
Handles both 2025 and 2026 confirmed dates.
Works on any symbol and timeframe.
📌 Why WASDE matters
The WASDE report updates global supply and demand estimates for:
Corn
Soybeans
Wheat
Other major agricultural commodities
Changes in yield, acres, production, imports/exports, and ending stocks can cause immediate and significant volatility.
Many traders combine WASDE awareness with seasonality, COT positioning, volatility filters, or fundamental models.
This script ensures you never miss the timing of these key releases.
⚙️ How the script works
The script stores official USDA WASDE release dates for 2025 and 2026 in two dedicated arrays.
On every bar, it compares the bar’s timestamp with known WASDE timestamps to detect an event day.
When an event occurs:
A red “WASDE” label is plotted above the candle
A dotted vertical line is drawn through the bar
It finds the next upcoming WASDE by scanning forward through both arrays.
A live-updating countdown label is displayed, showing days or hours/minutes until release.
If the event is less than 24 hours away:
A yellow “WASDE soon” warning appears near price
The 24h alert condition becomes active
An optional table lists upcoming events for 2025 & 2026.
This script does not generate trading signals.
It provides a time-based event layer designed to complement any discretionary or algorithmic trading approach.
🧭 How to use
Add the script to your chart.
Enable alerts for:
“WASDE Day Alert”
“WASDE 24h Reminder”
Follow the countdown to prepare for upcoming volatility.
Use together with other agricultural tools such as:
Seasonality indicators
COT (Commitment of Traders) analysis
Trend / VWAP / Volume signals
Pre- and post-WASDE trading strategies
Works on all chart types, all symbols, and all timeframes.

Global M2 Money Supply Growth (GDP-Weighted)📊 Global M2 Money Supply Growth (GDP-Weighted)
This indicator tracks the weighted aggregate M2 money supply growth across the world's four largest economies: United States, China, Eurozone, and Japan. These economies represent approximately 69.3 trillion USD in combined GDP and account for the majority of global liquidity, making this a comprehensive macro indicator for analyzing worldwide monetary conditions.
════════════════════════════════════════════
🔧 KEY FEATURES:
📈 GDP-Weighted Aggregation
Each economy is weighted proportionally by its nominal GDP using 2025 IMF World Economic Outlook data:
• United States: 44.2% (30.62 trillion USD)
• China: 28.0% (19.40 trillion USD)
• Eurozone: 21.6% (15.0 trillion USD)
• Japan: 6.2% (4.28 trillion USD)
The weights are fully adjustable through the indicator settings, allowing you to update them annually as new IMF forecasts are released (typically April and October).
⏱️ Multiple Time Period Options
Choose between three calculation methods to analyze different timeframes:
• YoY (Year-over-Year): 12-month growth rate for identifying long-term liquidity trends and cycles
• MoM (Month-over-Month): 1-month growth rate for detecting short-term monetary policy shifts
• QoQ (Quarter-over-Quarter): 3-month growth rate for medium-term trend analysis
🔄 Advanced Offset Function
Shift the entire indicator forward by 0-365 days to test lead/lag relationships between global liquidity and asset prices. Research suggests a 56-70 day lag between M2 changes and Bitcoin price movements, but you can experiment with different offsets for various assets (equities, gold, commodities, etc.).
🌍 Individual Country Breakdown
Real-time display of each economy's M2 growth rate with:
• Current percentage change (YoY/MoM/QoQ)
• GDP weight contribution
• Color-coded values (green = monetary expansion, red = contraction)
📊 Smart Overlay Capability
Displays directly on your main price chart with an independent left-side scale, allowing you to visually correlate global liquidity trends with any asset's price action without cluttering the chart.
🔧 Customizable GDP Weights
All GDP values can be adjusted through the indicator settings without editing code, making annual updates simple and accessible for all users.
════════════════════════════════════════════
📡 DATA SOURCES:
All M2 money supply data is sourced from ECONOMICS (Trading Economics) for consistency and reliability:
• ECONOMICS:USM2 (United States)
• ECONOMICS:CNM2 (China)
• ECONOMICS:EUM2 (Eurozone)
• ECONOMICS:JPM2 (Japan)
All values are normalized to USD using current daily exchange rates (USDCNY, EURUSD, USDJPY) before GDP-weighted aggregation, ensuring accurate cross-country comparisons.
══════════════════════════════════════════════
💡 USE CASES & APPLICATIONS:
🔹 Liquidity Cycle Analysis
Track global monetary expansion/contraction cycles to identify when central banks are coordinating loose or tight monetary policies.
🔹 Market Timing & Risk Assessment
High M2 growth (>10%) historically correlates with risk-on environments and rising asset prices across crypto, equities, and commodities. Negative M2 growth signals monetary tightening and potential market corrections.
🔹 Bitcoin & Crypto Correlation
Compare with Bitcoin price using the offset feature to identify the optimal lag period. Many traders use 60-70 day offsets to predict crypto market movements based on liquidity changes.
🔹 Macro Portfolio Allocation
Use as a regime filter to adjust portfolio exposure: increase risk assets during liquidity expansion, reduce during contraction.
🔹 Central Bank Policy Divergence
Monitor individual country metrics to identify when major central banks are pursuing divergent policies (e.g., Fed tightening while China eases).
🔹 Inflation & Economic Forecasting
Rapid M2 growth often leads inflation by 12-18 months, making this a leading indicator for future inflation trends.
🔹 Recession Early Warning
Negative M2 growth is extremely rare and has preceded major recessions, making this a valuable risk management tool.
════════════════════════════════════════════
📊 INTERPRETATION GUIDE:
🟢 +10% or Higher
Aggressive monetary expansion, typically during crises (2001, 2008, 2020). The COVID-19 period saw M2 growth reach 20-27%, which preceded significant inflation and asset price surges. Strong bullish signal for risk assets.
🟢 +6% to +10%
Above-average liquidity growth. Central banks are providing stimulus beyond normal levels. Generally favorable for equities, crypto, and commodities.
🟡 +3% to +6%
Normal/healthy growth rate, roughly in line with GDP growth plus 2% inflation targets. Neutral environment with moderate support for risk assets.
🟠 0% to +3%
Slowing liquidity, potential tightening phase beginning. Central banks may be raising rates or reducing balance sheets. Caution warranted for high-beta assets.
🔴 Negative Growth
Monetary contraction - extremely rare. Only occurred during aggressive Fed tightening in 2022-2023. Strong warning signal for risk assets, often precedes recessions or major market corrections.
════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 OPTIMAL USAGE:
📅 Recommended Timeframes:
• Daily or Weekly charts for macro analysis
• Monthly charts for very long-term trends
💹 Compatible Asset Classes:
• Cryptocurrencies (especially Bitcoin, Ethereum)
• Equity indices (S&P 500, NASDAQ, global markets)
• Commodities (Gold, Silver, Oil)
• Forex majors (DXY correlation analysis)
⚙️ Suggested Settings:
• Default: YoY calculation with 0 offset for current liquidity conditions
• Bitcoin traders: YoY with 60-70 day offset for predictive analysis
• Short-term traders: MoM with 0 offset for recent policy changes
• Quarterly rebalancers: QoQ with 0 offset for medium-term trends
════════════════════════════════════════════
📋 VISUAL DISPLAY:
The indicator plots a blue line showing the selected growth metric (YoY/MoM/QoQ), with a dashed reference line at 0% to clearly identify expansion vs. contraction regimes.
A comprehensive table in the top-right corner displays:
• Current global M2 growth rate (large, prominent display)
• Individual country breakdowns with their GDP weights
• Color-coded growth rates (green for positive, red for negative)
════════════════════════════════════════════
🔄 MAINTENANCE & UPDATES:
GDP weights should be updated annually (ideally in April or October) when the IMF releases new World Economic Outlook forecasts. Simply adjust the four GDP input parameters in the indicator settings - no code editing required.
The relative GDP proportions between the Big 4 economies change very gradually (typically <1-2% per year), so even if you update weights once every 1-2 years, the impact on the indicator's accuracy is minimal.
════════════════════════════════════════════
💭 TRADING PHILOSOPHY:
This indicator embodies the principle that "liquidity drives markets." By tracking the combined M2 money supply of the world's largest economies, weighted by their economic size, you gain insight into the fundamental liquidity conditions that underpin all asset prices.
Unlike single-country M2 indicators, this GDP-weighted approach captures the true global picture, accounting for the fact that US monetary policy has 2x the impact of Japanese policy due to economic size differences.
Perfect for macro-focused traders, long-term investors, and anyone seeking to understand the "tide that lifts all boats" in financial markets.
════════════════════════════════════════════
Created for traders and investors who incorporate global liquidity trends into their decision-making process. Best used alongside other technical and fundamental analysis tools for comprehensive market assessment.
⚠️ Disclaimer: M2 money supply is a lagging macroeconomic indicator. Past correlations do not guarantee future results. Always use proper risk management and combine with other analysis methods.
HTF Candle Profile [ChartPrime]⯁ OVERVIEW
The HTF Candle Profile visualizes higher-timeframe candle structure and its internal volume distribution directly on lower-timeframe charts. It automatically detects changes in higher-timeframe periods (daily, weekly, or monthly) and constructs a complete volume profile for each, allowing traders to see how volume is distributed across the range of that higher-timeframe candle. This helps identify whether momentum is supported by real volume strength or trapped price movement.
⯁ LOGIC
When a new higher-timeframe candle begins, the indicator starts collecting data for its open, high, low, close, and volume range.
Once sufficient bars have passed (defined by the Min Period Profile input), it calculates a full profile using adaptive bin sizing derived from the range (High–Low) and ATR for scaling precision.
The resulting bins represent the volume concentration at each price level of that higher-timeframe candle.
A Point of Control (PoC) is highlighted — the level where the most volume occurred.
The indicator then draws the higher-timeframe candle body and wicks at the chart’s right side, giving visual context of bullish or bearish sentiment.
⯁ FEATURES
Automatic HTF Detection: Identifies new Daily, Weekly, or Monthly periods and updates profiles in real time.
Dynamic Bin Calculation: Automatically adjusts bin size based on ATR and candle height for accurate volume granularity.
Volume Profile Rendering: Displays colored volume bars extending from the candle, showing where trading activity was concentrated.
Higher-Timeframe Candle Representation: Plots the full HTF candle (open, close, high, low) on the right side of the chart for visual clarity.
PoC Level & Labels: Marks the point of maximum volume within the candle profile with a line and volume label.
Configurable Levels: Toggle display of Open, Close, High, Low, and PoC for each higher-timeframe segment.
Color-coded Sentiment: Candle and profile colors reflect bullish or bearish momentum.
⯁ CONCLUSION
The HTF Candle Profile bridges lower- and higher-timeframe analysis by embedding high-resolution volume data within each major candle. It enables traders to see where liquidity and trading activity cluster inside higher-timeframe structures — revealing whether trends are volume-backed or hollow. Perfect for combining structural insight with volume confluence when analyzing market sentiment transitions across timeframes.
Smoothed VWAP Bands + EMAsSmoothed VWAP bands
With my script, you take the raw standard deviation and apply an EMA (exponential moving
Advantages:
1. Less noise:
* The bands don’t jump around with every tiny price spike.
* Makes it easier to judge real price extremes.
2. Better zone visualization:
* Inner and outer bands are smoother and more visually “stable.”
* Easier to see meaningful trends, support/resistance, and breakout zones.
3. Fewer fakeouts:
* Traders can filter out small false signals because smoothed bands only move when volatility actually changes.
4. Dynamic to volatility:
* EMA smoothing keeps the bands adaptive:
* In quiet periods, bands tighten.
* In volatile periods, bands expand.
* But it avoids extreme jitter caused by every micro-move.
Safe Zone Rules
1. Long entries (green zone):
* Price above VWAP (trend bullish).
* Price inside inner band ±1σ (not touching outer extremes).
* Optional: candle close confirmation (price fully above inner band).
2. Short entries (red zone):
* Price below VWAP (trend bearish).
* Price inside inner band ±1σ.
* Optional: candle close confirmation.
3. Outer bands (±2σ):
* Considered overextended zones → avoid entries to reduce fakeouts.
4. Visual cues:
* Safe zones shaded lightly green/red inside inner band.
* Outer bands remain unshaded (for context).
Here’s a cheat sheet for trading the Smoothed VWAP Bands + EMAs that shows safe entry zones and trend alignment clearly.
Smoothed VWAP Bands + EMAs Cheat Sheet
Price Action Relative to Bands & EMAs
+2σ (Outer Upper Band)
----------------
Extreme volatility zone
Avoid entries here
+1σ (Inner Upper Band)
----------------
Safe zone limit for longs
Consider profit taking here
VWAP Line (Green = Bullish, Red = Bearish)
==================
Core trend indicator
Only trade in VWAP trend direction
-1σ (Inner Lower Band)
----------------
Safe zone limit for shorts
Good for entries in trend direction
-2σ (Outer Lower Band)
----------------
Extreme volatility zone
Avoid entries here
1️⃣ Trend Direction with VWAP & EMAs
* VWAP → shows the overall session trend.
* Price above VWAP → bullish
* Price below VWAP → bearish
* EMA 5 (blue) → short-term momentum
* EMA 20 (orange) → medium-term trend
Rule: Only take trades in the direction of the trend:
* Long trades → price > VWAP and EMA 5 > EMA 20
* Short trades → price < VWAP and EMA 5 < EMA 20
This prevents chasing trades against the trend and reduces fakeouts.
2️⃣ Entry Zones Using Smoothed VWAP Bands
* Inner band (±1σ) → “safe entry zone”
* Outer band (±2σ) → volatility extremes → avoid entries here
Rule: Enter longs inside the inner band above VWAP and shorts inside the inner band below VWAP.
Best used on intraday timeframes.

MSB Trend Breakout Indicator V7**MSB Trend Breakout Indicator (V7)**
This indicator is a robust, rule-based system designed to align trade entries with confirmed momentum shifts.
**TECHNICAL JUSTIFICATION (Why it works):**
The core logic combines two essential concepts to improve signal reliability:
1. **Trend Confirmation (The Slow Filter):** Uses the **50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA)** to strictly filter the market bias. Signals are only generated when the price is clearly above or below this moving average, preventing counter-trend trading and focusing on the dominant institutional flow.
2. **Momentum Entry (The Fast Filter):** A **3-bar high/low breakout** confirms the immediate price surge. This short-term trigger provides an optimal entry point right as the momentum begins.
**The Combination's Value:** This mashup's purpose is to avoid the whipsaws of the fast breakout signal and the lagging nature of the slow EMA, providing a unique balance of speed and directional confirmation.
**Usage:**
* Optimized For: XAUUSD (Gold) on 15m/30m charts.

O'Neil Market TimingBill O'Neil Market Timing Indicator - User Guide
Overview
This Pine Script indicator implements William O'Neil's market timing methodology, which assigns one of four distinct states to a market index (such as SPY or QQQ) to help traders identify optimal market conditions for investing. The indicator is designed to work exclusively on Daily timeframe charts.
The Four Market States
The indicator tracks the market through four distinct states, with specific transition rules between them:
1. Confirmed Uptrend (Green)
- Meaning: The market is in a healthy uptrend with institutional support
- Action: Favorable conditions for building positions in leading stocks
- Can transition to: State 2 (Uptrend Under Pressure)
2. Uptrend Under Pressure (Yellow)
- Meaning: The uptrend is showing signs of weakness with increasing distribution
- Action: Be cautious, tighten stops, reduce position sizes
- Can transition to: State 1 (Confirmed Uptrend) or State 3 (Downtrend)
3. Downtrend (Red)
- Meaning: The market is in a confirmed downtrend
- Action: Stay mostly in cash, avoid new purchases
- Can transition to: State 4 (Rally Attempt)
4. Rally Attempt (Pink/Fuchsia)
- Meaning: The market is attempting to bottom and reverse
- Action: Watch for Follow-Through Day to confirm new uptrend
- Can transition to: State 1 (Confirmed Uptrend) or State 3 (Downtrend)
Key Concepts
Distribution Day
A distribution day occurs when:
1. The index closes down by more than the critical percentage (default 0.2%)
2. Volume is higher than the previous day's volume
Distribution days indicate institutional selling and are marked with red triangles on the indicator.
Follow-Through Day
A follow-through day occurs during a Rally Attempt when:
1. The index closes up by more than the critical percentage (default 1.6%)
2. Volume is higher than the previous day's volume
A Follow-Through Day confirms a new uptrend and triggers the transition from Rally Attempt to Confirmed Uptrend.
State Transition Logic
Valid Transitions
The system only allows specific transitions:
- 1 → 2: When distribution days reach the "pressure number" (default 5) within the lookback period (default 25 bars)
- 2 → 1: When distribution days drop below the pressure number
- 2 → 3: When distribution days reach "downtrend number" (default 7) AND price drops by "downtrend criterion" (default 6%) from the lookback high
- 3 → 4: When the market doesn't make a new low for 3 consecutive days
- 4 → 3: When a new low is made, undercutting the downtrend low
- 4 → 1: When a Follow-Through Day occurs during the Rally Attempt
Input Parameters
Distribution Day Parameters
- Distribution Day % Threshold (default 0.2%, range 0.1-2.0%)
- Minimum percentage decline required to qualify as a distribution day. While 0.2% seems to be the canonical number I see in literature about this, I use a much higher threshold (at least 0.5%)
Follow-Through Day Parameters
- Follow-Through Day % Threshold (default 1.6%, range 1.0-2.0%)
- Minimum percentage gain required to qualify as a follow-through day
### State Transition Parameters
- Pressure Number (default 5, range 3-6)
- Number of distribution days needed to transition from Confirmed Uptrend to Uptrend Under Pressure
- Lookback Period (default 25 bars, range 20-30)
- Number of days to count distribution days
- Downtrend Number (default 7, range 4-10)
- Number of distribution days needed (with price drop) to transition to Downtrend
- Downtrend % Drop from High (default 6%, range 5-10%)
- Percentage drop from lookback high required for downtrend confirmation
Visual Settings
- Color customization for each state
- Table position selection (Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right)
## How to Use This Indicator
### Installation
1. Open TradingView and navigate to SPY or QQQ (or another major index)
2. **Important**: Switch to the Daily (1D) timeframe
3. Click on "Indicators" at the top of the chart
4. Click "Pine Editor" at the bottom of the screen
5. Copy and paste the Pine Script code
6. Click "Add to Chart"
### Interpretation
**When the indicator shows:**
- **Green (State 1)**: Market is healthy - consider adding quality positions
- **Yellow (State 2)**: Exercise caution - tighten stops, be selective
- **Red (State 3)**: Defensive mode - preserve capital, avoid new buys
- **Pink (State 4)**: Watch closely - prepare for potential Follow-Through Day
### The Information Table
The table displays:
- **Current State**: The current market condition
- **Distribution Days**: Number of distribution days in the lookback period
- **Lookback Period**: Number of bars being analyzed
- **Rally Attempt Day**: (Only in State 4) Days into the current rally attempt
### Visual Elements
1. **State Line**: A stepped line showing the current state (1-4)
2. **Red Triangles**: Mark each distribution day
3. **Horizontal Reference Lines**: Dotted lines marking each state level
4. **Color-Coded Display**: The state line changes color based on the current market condition
## Trading Strategy Guidelines
### In Confirmed Uptrend (State 1)
- Build positions in stocks breaking out of proper bases
- Use normal position sizing
- Focus on stocks showing institutional accumulation
- Hold winners as long as they act properly
### In Uptrend Under Pressure (State 2)
- Take partial profits in extended positions
- Tighten stop losses
- Be more selective with new entries
- Reduce overall exposure
### In Downtrend (State 3)
- Move to cash or maintain very light exposure
- Avoid new purchases
- Focus on preservation of capital
- Use the time for research and watchlist building
### In Rally Attempt (State 4)
- Stay mostly in cash but prepare
- Build a watchlist of strong stocks
- On Day 4+ of the rally attempt, watch for Follow-Through Day
- If FTD occurs, begin cautiously adding positions
## Best Practices
1. **Use with Major Indices**: This indicator works best with SPY, QQQ, or other broad market indices
2. **Daily Timeframe Only**: The indicator is designed for daily bars - do not use on intraday timeframes
3. **Combine with Stock Analysis**: Use the market state as a filter for individual stock decisions
4. **Respect the Signals**: When the market enters Downtrend, reduce exposure regardless of individual stock setups
5. **Monitor Distribution Days**: Pay attention when distribution days accumulate - it's a warning sign
6. **Wait for Follow-Through**: Don't jump back in too early during Rally Attempt - wait for confirmation
## Alert Conditions
The indicator includes built-in alert conditions for:
- State changes (entering any of the four states)
- Distribution Day detection
- Follow-Through Day detection during Rally Attempt
To set up alerts:
1. Click the "Alert" button while the indicator is on your chart
2. Select "O'Neil Market Timing"
3. Choose your desired alert condition
4. Configure notification preferences
## Customization Tips
### For More Sensitive Detection
- Lower the "Pressure Number" to 3-4
- Lower the "Distribution Day % Threshold" to 0.15%
- Reduce the "Downtrend Number" to 5-6
### For More Conservative Detection
- Raise the "Pressure Number" to 6
- Raise the "Distribution Day % Threshold" to 0.3-0.5%
- Increase the "Downtrend Number" to 8-9
### For Different Market Conditions
- **Bull Market**: Consider slightly higher thresholds
- **Bear Market**: Consider slightly lower thresholds
- **Volatile Market**: May need to increase percentage thresholds
## Limitations and Considerations
1. **Not a Crystal Ball**: The indicator identifies conditions but doesn't predict the future
2. **False Signals**: Follow-Through Days can fail - use proper risk management
3. **Whipsaws Possible**: In choppy markets, the indicator may switch states frequently
4. **Confirmation Lag**: By design, there's a lag as the system waits for confirmation
5. **Works Best with Price Action**: Combine with your analysis of individual stocks
## Historical Context
This methodology is based on William J. O'Neil's decades of market research, documented in books like "How to Make Money in Stocks" and through Investor's Business Daily. O'Neil's research showed that:
- Most major market tops are preceded by accumulation of distribution days
- Most successful rallies begin with a Follow-Through Day on Day 4-7 of a rally attempt
- Identifying market state helps prevent buying during unfavorable conditions
## Troubleshooting
**Problem**: Indicator shows "Initializing"
- **Solution**: Let the chart load at least 5 bars to establish the initial state
**Problem**: No distribution day markers appear
- **Solution**: Verify you're on daily timeframe and check if volume data is available
**Problem**: Table not visible
- **Solution**: Check the table position setting and ensure it's not off-screen
**Problem**: State seems to change too frequently
- **Solution**: Increase the lookback period or adjust threshold parameters
## Support and Further Learning
For deeper understanding of this methodology:
- Read "How to Make Money in Stocks" by William J. O'Neil
- Study Investor's Business Daily's "Market Pulse"
- Review historical market tops and bottoms to see the pattern
- Practice identifying distribution days and follow-through days manually
## Version History
**Version 1.0** (November 2025)
- Initial implementation
- Four-state system with proper transitions
- Distribution day detection and marking
- Follow-through day detection

macd sma20
### MACD_sma20 – Multi-Timeframe MACD Pullback & SMA20 Dashboard
This script is a complete trading toolkit built around a **MACD pullback strategy** combined with **multi-timeframe SMA20 filters**, volume analysis, and a compact information panel.
It is designed for traders who like to:
* Trade **MACD pullbacks above the moving average**
* Track **key SMA20 levels across multiple timeframes** (Daily, 3-Day, Weekly, Monthly)
* Quickly see whether **current price is above or below those reference levels**
* Use **clean visual signals** for entries and exits, instead of staring at raw indicator values
---
### Core Features
#### 1. MACD Pullback Long Signal (Green Triangle Up)
The script detects a **bullish MACD pullback** pattern:
* MACD line is still **above** the signal line
* Both MACD line and histogram **pull back** for several bars
* Then MACD turns back up again, with price trading **above the local SMA20**
When this “pullback and re-acceleration” is confirmed, a **green triangle below the bar** is plotted as a **long entry signal**.
There is also an optional filter:
* **Weekly SMA20 filter**:
If enabled, long signals are only triggered when **current price is above the Weekly SMA20**, helping you stay on the right side of the higher-timeframe trend.
---
#### 2. Bearish Pullback Confirmation Signal (Red Triangle Down)
On the short side, the script detects a **bearish pullback confirmation** based on:
* A recent **high-volume bearish candle** (large down bar with volume above a multiple of the 20-period volume average)
* At least a minimum number of **negative MACD histogram bars**
* MACD line moving closer to the signal line (loss of momentum)
* Price recovering back up near the **top of that high-volume bearish candle**, then starting to fall again while MACD stays positive
When all conditions align, the script prints a **red triangle above the bar**, indicating a **bearish pullback confirmation** – often a good area to take profits on longs or consider short/hedge setups.
---
#### 3. Signal History Tracking
For both long and short signals, the script internally tracks the **most recent three signals**:
* Timestamp of the signal
* Price at the signal
* Short-term percentage change into the signal
This is mainly for internal use and future expansion, but already gives you a structured signal history if you want to extend or connect the logic later.
---
### Multi-Timeframe SMA20 Dashboard (Bottom-Right Panel)
One of the most useful parts of this script is the **compact dashboard table** in the **bottom-right corner** of the chart. It updates in real time and shows:
1. **Current Price**
2. **Daily SMA20** – value + whether price is above/below
3. **3-Day SMA20** – value + whether price is above/below
4. **Weekly SMA20** – value + whether price is above/below
5. **Monthly SMA20** – value + whether price is above/below
6. **RSI** (current timeframe)
For each timeframe’s SMA20:
* If **price ≥ SMA20**, the status cell is **green** with a ✓
* If **price < SMA20**, the status cell is **red** with a ✗
This gives you, at a glance:
* Is the market in a **short-term uptrend or downtrend** (Daily SMA20)?
* Is the **swing / position trend** healthy (3D & Weekly SMA20)?
* Is the broader **macro structure** supportive (Monthly SMA20)?
You don’t need to manually switch timeframes or add multiple moving averages – the script does all of that for you automatically using `request.security`.
---
### Alerts
The script comes with two built-in alert conditions:
* **MACD回踩转多信号 (MACD pullback bullish signal)**
* **空头回抽确认信号 (Bearish pullback confirmation signal)**
You can attach TradingView alerts to these conditions to get notified whenever a new long or bearish-confirmation setup appears, even when you’re not watching the chart.
---
### How to Use It in Your Trading
1. **Choose your main trading timeframe**
* For intraday swing: 15m / 1h / 4h
* For swing / position: 4h / Daily
2. **Watch the bottom-right SMA20 panel**
* If most higher-timeframe SMA20 rows are **green**, you are trading **with the larger trend**.
* If they are **mixed or mostly red**, you’re either counter-trend or in a choppy transition zone.
3. **Use the green MACD pullback signals**
* Prefer long setups when:
* The **Weekly and Monthly SMA20 rows are green**, and
* The signal appears **above the Daily SMA20**
* This stacks multiple edges: trend + pullback + momentum re-acceleration.
4. **Use the red bearish confirmation signals for risk management**
* Take partial profits on longs when a red signal appears near resistance.
* Consider hedge/short opportunities if higher-timeframe SMA20 rows are already red or turning red.
5. **Use RSI as a context indicator**
* Combine with overbought/oversold zones or your own RSI thresholds for additional confirmation.
---
### Why This Script Is Useful
* **Trend awareness across timeframes**:
You always know where current price sits relative to the Daily / 3-Day / Weekly / Monthly SMA20 – without switching charts.
* **Clear, rule-based signals**:
The MACD logic is explicit and systematic, focused on **pullbacks within trends** rather than random crossovers.
* **Volume-aware bearish logic**:
High-volume bearish candles often mark important supply zones. The script builds this idea directly into the short-side confirmation logic.
* **Visual and intuitive**:
Green/Red triangles + Green/Red table cells make it easy to interpret even if you are not a heavy indicator user.
* **Flexible**:
All key parameters (MACD lengths, SMA length, volume threshold, lookback period, RSI length, weekly filter) are customizable, so you can adapt it to different markets (crypto, stocks, FX) and timeframes.
---
In short, this script is a **multi-timeframe MACD pullback system with an integrated SMA20 dashboard**, suitable for swing traders and position traders who want a structured, visually clean way to align entries with trend and momentum while keeping an eye on higher-timeframe levels.
ORB + INMERELO ADR + ATRThis indicator provides **two completely different but complementary lines of information** for intraday traders:
# **1. The ORB Line (ADR-Based Context Line)**
The ORB portion of the script focuses on **range expansion** relative to typical daily behavior.
### **What it measures**
* **20-day ADR (Average Daily Range)**
* **Today’s range as a % of ADR**
* **How much of the average range has been “used”** by the time you’re considering an Opening Range Breakout
### **Why it matters for ORB trading**
Successful ORBs thrive when:
* **ADR used% is low** (green) → plenty of fuel left for expansion
* **ADR used% is moderate** (orange) → breakout still possible but less explosive
* **ADR used% is high** (red) → breakout attempts often fail or reverse
### **What the indicator gives you**
A clean, color-coded readout of:
* ADR
* Today’s range
* Used%
* A simple green/orange/red evaluation of ORB quality
This allows a trader to quickly judge whether **conditions favor ORB continuation or mean-reversion reversal**—without manually calculating ranges or switching charts.
---
# **2. The INMERELO Line (ATR Stretch + MA Interaction)**
The INMERELO portion of the script is built around **mean-reversion mechanics**:
the market tends to revert back toward the **first daily MA it crosses under**.
### **How it determines the active MA**
At the start of each session, the script waits for price to cross under:
* **EMA10**
* **EMA21**
* **SMA50**
Whichever MA is crossed first becomes the **active MA** for the day.
If no cross has occurred yet, the indicator shows the **nearest MA**, so traders know exactly what the likely “INMERELO magnet” will be.
### **What it measures**
* **Stretch from the active MA (in ATR units)**
* **20-day ATR regime direction (expanding or contracting)**
* **Daily MA context: E10, E21, or S50**
### **Why it matters for INMERELOs**
This provides:
* The **target MA**
* The **distance to that MA in ATRs**
* A color-coded stretch score:
* **0.6–1.2 ATR** → prime INMERELO zone (Green)
* Moderately stretched → Orange
* Overstretched or dead zone → Red
An up/down arrow shows whether **volatility is expanding or compressing**, which affects expected retrace behavior.
### **What the indicator gives you**
All INMERELO data is displayed in a second compact line:
* Stretch to MA
* Active MA label (E10/E21/S50)
* ATR regime arrow
This allows fast identification of high-probability **mean-reversion trades back to the MA**.
---
# **Summary**
This indicator shows:
### **Line 1 → ORB Context (ADR)**
* Is the stock setup for a powerful breakout?
* How much ADR is left?
* Are you early (good) or late (risky)?
### **Line 2 → INMERELO Context (ATR + MA Stretch)**
* Which MA is in control today (EMA10, EMA21, or SMA50)?
* How many ATRs away from that MA are we?
* Is volatility expanding or contracting?
* Is this a clean INMERELO setup or not?
Together, these two lines give traders the **two most important intraday lenses**:
**range expansion (ORB)** and **mean reversion (INMERELO)**—updated every bar, without clutter.
Qullamagi EMA Breakout Autotrade (Crypto Futures L+S)Title: Qullamagi EMA Breakout – Crypto Autotrade
Overview
A crypto-focused, Qullamagi-style EMA breakout strategy built for autotrading on futures and perpetual swaps.
It combines a 5-MA trend stack (EMA 10/20, SMA 50/100/200), volatility contraction boxes, volume spikes and an optional higher-timeframe 200-MA filter. The script supports both long and short trades, partial take profit, trailing MA exits and percent-of-equity position sizing for automated crypto futures trading.
Key Features (Crypto)
Qullamagi MA Breakout Engine – trades only when price is aligned with a strong EMA/SMA trend and breaks out of a tight consolidation range. Longs use: Close > EMA10 > EMA20 > SMA50 > SMA100 > SMA200. Shorts are the mirror condition with all MAs sloping in the trend direction.
Strict vs Loose Modes – Strict (Daily) is designed for cleaner swing trades on 1H–4H (full MA stack, box+ATR and volume filters, optional HTF filter). Loose (Intraday) focuses on 10/20/50 alignment with relaxed filters for more frequent 15m–30m signals.
Volatility & Volume Filters for Crypto – ATR-based box height limit to detect volatility contraction, wide-candle filter to avoid chasing exhausted breakouts, and a volume spike condition requiring current volume to exceed an SMA of volume.
Higher-Timeframe Trend Filter (Optional) – uses a 200-period SMA on a higher timeframe (default: 1D). Longs only when HTF close is above the HTF 200-SMA, shorts only when it is below, helping avoid trading against dominant crypto trends.
Autotrade-Oriented Trade Management – position size as % of equity, initial stop anchored to a chosen MA (EMA10 / EMA20 / SMA50) with optional buffer, partial take profit at a configurable R-multiple, trailing MA exit for the remainder, and an optional cooldown after a full exit.
Markets & Timeframes
Best suited for BTC, ETH and major altcoin futures/perpetuals (Binance, Bybit, OKX, etc.).
Strict preset: 1H–4H charts for classic Qullamagi-style trend structure and fewer fake breakouts.
Loose preset: 15m–30m charts for higher trade frequency and more active intraday trading.
Always retune ATR length, box length, volume multiplier and position size for each symbol and exchange.
Strategy Logic (Quick Summary)
Long (Strict): MA stack in bullish alignment with all MAs sloping up → tight volatility box (ATR-based) → volume spike above SMA(volume) × multiplier → breakout above box high (close or intrabar) → optional HTF close above 200-SMA.
Short: Mirror logic: bearish MA stack, tight box, volume spike and breakdown below box low with optional HTF downtrend.
Best Practices for Crypto
Backtest on each symbol and timeframe you plan to autotrade, including commissions and slippage.
Start on higher timeframes (1H/4H) to learn the behavior, then move to 15m–30m if you want more signals.
Use the higher-timeframe filter when markets are strongly trending to reduce counter-trend trades.
Keep position-size percentage conservative until you fully understand the drawdowns.
Forward-test / paper trade before connecting to live futures accounts.
Webhook / Autotrade Integration
Designed to work with TradingView webhooks and external crypto trading bots.
Alert messages include structured fields such as: EVENT=ENTRY / SCALE_OUT / EXIT, SIDE=LONG / SHORT, STRATEGY=Qullamagi_MA.
Map each EVENT + SIDE combination to your bot logic (open long/short, partial close, full close, etc.) on your preferred exchange.
Important Notes & Disclaimer
Crypto markets are highly volatile and can change regime quickly. Backtest and forward-test thoroughly before using real capital. Higher timeframes generally produce cleaner MA structures and fewer fake breakouts.
This strategy is for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Trading leveraged crypto products involves substantial risk of loss. Always do your own research, manage risk carefully, and never trade with money you cannot afford to lose.

Gann Square of 144 (Master Price & Time)🔹 What this tool does
Draws a 144-unit square in price & time (0 → 144)
Plots all key horizontal & vertical levels:
0, 18, 36, 48, 54, 72, 90, 96, 108, 126, 144
Highlights the main 1/2 level (72) as thick midline
Marks 1/3 and 2/3 (48 & 96) as special harmonic levels
Draws internal diagonals (0–144, 144–0 and sub-squares)
Plots an 8-ray Gann fan from the 0-point (0 → 36 / 72 / 108 / 144 etc.)
Keeps price–time ratio consistent inside the box:
the 1×1 angle has a fixed slope = price_per_bar
The idea: once the square is calibrated to a major swing, you can study how price respects these angles and harmonic zones over time.
🔧 Inputs & how to set it up correctly
Choose your timeframe
Works best on Daily and Weekly charts.
Use one timeframe consistently when calibrating the square.
Start offset (bars back)
Start offset (bars back) shifts the whole square left/right.
Increase the value to move the square further into the past, decrease it to move it closer to the current bars.
Box width (bars)
Box width (bars) = how many bars the square spans horizontally.
Bigger value = projects the structure further into the future.
Example: 288 bars ≈ 2×144 units in time, 720 bars for longer-term projection, etc.
Bottom price
Bottom price is your 0-level in price.
Usually set this to a major swing low (cycle low, bear market low, important pivot).
The bottom-left corner of the square conceptually sits at:
(start_offset_bar, bottom_price)
Price per bar (slope 1×1) (if your version has this input)
This defines the slope of the 1×1 angle (main Gann angle).
Recommended way to set it:
Pick a major impulsive move from Swing Low → Swing High.
Measure:
Price range = High − Low
Number of bars between them.
Compute:
price_per_bar = price_range / number_of_bars
Use that as your 1×1 value in the input.
Now the main diagonal from 0 to 144 represents the true Gann 1×1 for that swing.
Important: The 1×1 angle is mathematically correct (price-per-bar), even if it does not always look like a perfect 45° line visually in TradingView due to chart scaling.
📖 How to read the Square of 144
Horizontal levels
0 = anchor price (bottom)
18, 36, 48, 54, 72, 90, 96, 108, 126, 144 = key price harmonics
72 (1/2) often acts as major support/resistance
48 & 96 (1/3 and 2/3) are strong “vibration” levels
Vertical levels
Same units but in time (bars).
When important pivots in price occur near these verticals, you get time–price confluence.
Midlines (1/2)
The thick horizontal and vertical lines at 72 mark the center of the square.
Crossings around these often signal important cycle turns.
1/3 & 2/3 zones (48–54 and 90–96)
These narrow bands are powerful reversal / decision zones.
Price often reacts strongly there or accelerates if they break.
Gann fan from 0-point
These rays represent major trends:
1×1 equivalent (main diagonal)
Faster & slower angles (e.g. 2×1, 1×2, etc depending on configuration)
If price breaks one fan angle cleanly, it often “falls” or “climbs” toward the next one.
🎯 Practical use cases
Project future support/resistance zones based on a major low.
See where price is in the square: early in the cycle (0–36), mid (around 72), or late (108–144).
Watch how price respects:
midlines (72),
1/3 and 2/3 bands (48–54, 90–96),
and the fan angles from 0.
Combine with your own price action / Fibonacci / trend tools – this is not a signal generator, but a time–price map.
⚠️ Notes & limitations
This tool is for educational & analytical purposes only.
It does not generate buy/sell signals.
Visual 45° angles in TradingView can change when you zoom or rescale the chart.
→ The script keeps the internal price-per-bar logic stable, even if the drawing looks steeper/flatter when zooming.
Always confirm zones with price action, volume, and higher timeframe context.

Tactical Holding [SwissAlgo]Tactical Holding
A visual framework for managing long-term positions across market cycles
--------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose
Instead of holding a fixed position through all market conditions , you can use this framework to adjust your exposure tactically . By reducing positions during distribution phases and accumulating during favorable accumulation zones, you may end up holding more units of the asset over complete market cycles - even if you temporarily exit or reduce exposure during unfavorable periods. This approach aims to help you compound your holdings by taking advantage of market volatility rather than simply enduring it.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Recommended Settings
Timeframe : Weekly (1W) chart
Chart Type : Standard candlesticks (select 'Bar' type Candles)
This indicator is designed for higher timeframe analysis. While it can be applied to other timeframes, the logic and signal generation are optimized for weekly charts to filter out short-term noise and focus on major market cycles.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key Features
♦ Market State Classification
The indicator aims to categorize potential market conditions into five color-coded states based on technical confluences:
* Bull (bright green): Multiple bullish indicators align
* Bull Retrace (teal): Bullish structure with temporary weakness
* Bull ⇆ Bear Reversal (yellow): Transitional phase between trends
* Bear (bright red): Multiple bearish indicators align
* Bear Retrace (Pale Red/Maroon): Bearish structure with temporary strength
♦ Visual Elements
* Candles change color based on the current market state
* A 50-period EMA tracks with the same color coding, providing visual trend context
* Small arrow markers appear when specific pattern conditions are met (zones for potential distribution or accumulation)
* A legend table (toggle on/off) explains the color system
* A label shows the current state name on the chart
♦ Pattern Recognition
The system monitors for two types of potential entry/exit zones:
1. State transition patterns after periods of market regime consistency
2. RSI divergence patterns (when price and momentum move in opposite directions)
♦ Customization
* Toggle the legend table visibility through settings
* All calculations are transparent and use standard technical analysis methods
--------------------------------------------------------------
How It Works
Think of this indicator as a traffic light system for your portfolio:
♦ Green zones suggest the asset might be in an environment where long-term holders historically have remained invested
Bright green (Bull) : Multiple technical indicators align in a potentially strong bullish phase
Pale green (Bull Retrace) : Bullish structure remains intact, but momentum shows temporary weakness - often a pullback within an uptrend
♦ Red zones suggest conditions where long-term holders might consider reducing exposure or waiting for better entry points
Dark red (Bear) : Multiple technical indicators align in a potentially strong bearish phase
Pale red (Bear Retrace) : Bearish structure remains intact but shows temporary strength - often a bounce within a downtrend
♦ Yellow zones indicate the market is in transition between bull and bear regimes - a time for increased attention as the trend direction becomes uncertain
The system doesn't predict future prices. Instead, it helps you understand the current technical environment by doing the heavy lifting of analyzing multiple indicators at once and presenting them in a simple visual format.
Example: During the 2022 crypto bear market, the indicator would have displayed extended red periods, signaling defensive conditions for holders. When accumulation arrows appeared in late 2022-early 2023, it highlighted potential re-entry zones as the technical regime transitioned back toward green, before the 2024 recovery.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Who This Is For
♦ Long-term investors who want to hold assets through cycles but prefer a systematic approach to position sizing and timing rather than buying and never selling .
♦ Portfolio managers looking for a visual tool to help determine when to increase or decrease exposure to specific assets based on technical regime changes.
♦ Swing traders on higher timeframes who want to align their positions with the broader market structure rather than fighting the trend.
This is not designed for:
* Day traders or scalpers
* Those seeking exact entry/exit prices
* Automated trading systems (this is a visual decision-support tool)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Understanding the Visuals
When you apply Tactical Holding to a chart, you'll see:
1. Colored candles - Instantly see what market regime the asset is in
2. Colored EMA line (thick line) - Provides a dynamic support/resistance reference that changes color with market conditions
3. Small arrows (↑ ↓) - Mark bars where specific technical patterns complete
4. State label - Shows current market classification
5. Legend table (top right) - Quick reference guide for the color system
6. Warning banner (top center) - Reminds you to use weekly charts
The visual design prioritizes clarity over complexity. You should be able to glance at a chart and immediately understand the current technical environment.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Important Limitations
This indicator cannot:
* Predict future price movements
* Guarantee profitable trades
* Work equally well on all assets or timeframes
* Replace your own research and risk management
Technical considerations:
* Divergence detection has a 3-bar confirmation lag (by design, to avoid false signals)
* State transitions require multiple technical confirmations, which may cause delayed reactions to rapid market changes
* The system is reactive, not predictive - it responds to price action after it occurs
* Performance varies significantly between trending assets (like Solana) and stable assets (like Apple)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Practical Application
Consider using this indicator as one component of a broader investment framework:
♦ Understanding Position Context:
The color-coded states can help frame your thinking about current holdings:
Bull: Technical conditions that have historically been associated with sustained uptrends
Bull Retrace: Pullbacks within an overall bullish structure- these periods may offer opportunities to evaluate entry points or reassess existing positions
Reversal (Yellow): Transitional phases where the trend direction is unclear - periods that may warrant closer monitoring
Bear Retrace: Temporary strength within an overall bearish structure - rallies that historically have often faded
Bear: Technical conditions that have historically been associated with sustained downtrends
♦ Interpreting Signal Arrows:
Arrow markers indicate when specific technical pattern conditions have been met. These are observation points, not instructions:
A signal appearing doesn't mean immediate action is required
Treat arrows as prompts for further analysis rather than automatic triggers
Consider the broader context: fundamentals, your investment timeline, risk tolerance, and overall market conditions
Signals show when historical technical patterns have formed - not whether those patterns will lead to the same outcomes as in the past
The framework is designed to organize information visually, not to tell you what to do. Your investment decisions should incorporate this technical perspective alongside other factors relevant to your situation.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Technical Methodology
For transparency, the indicator uses:
* RSI (14) with a 14-period SMA to assess momentum direction
* MACD (12,26,9) to confirm trend strength and histogram momentum
* Stochastic RSI with K and D line crossovers for additional confirmation
* 50-period EMA as the primary trend filter
* Linear regression-based slope analysis to detect flat/transitional periods
* Pivot-based divergence detection following standard technical analysis principles
All calculations use publicly available technical analysis formulas. Nothing is hidden or proprietary beyond the specific combination and weighting of these standard tools.

Market Breadth - [JTCAPITAL]Market Breadth - is a comprehensive crypto market strength and sentiment indicator designed to visualize the overall bullish or bearish alignment across 40 major cryptocurrencies. By combining multi-asset Exponential Moving Average (EMA) comparisons and smoothing techniques, it offers a clean, aggregated view of the broader market trend—helping traders quickly assess whether the market is dominated by bullish momentum or bearish pressure.
The indicator works by calculating in the following steps:
Symbol Selection and Data Retrieval
The script monitors 40 leading cryptocurrencies based on Market Cap. Each asset’s daily close price is requested using a 1D timeframe. This ensures that every data point reflects the same temporal resolution, allowing the indicator to evaluate global crypto strength rather than individual token volatility.
EMA Comparison per Asset
For each asset, two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) are calculated:
A short-term EMA with period emalength (default 10).
A long-term EMA with period emalength2 (default 20).
Each coin receives a score of +1 when the short-term EMA is greater than the long-term EMA (indicating bullish structure), or -1 when it is below (indicating bearish structure). This binary scoring system effectively converts individual price action into a directional sentiment measure.
Market Breadth Aggregation
All 40 individual scores are summed into a single composite value called scores .
If many assets have bullish EMA alignment, the total score becomes strongly positive.
If the majority show bearish alignment, the total score turns negative.
This step transforms scattered price data into one unified market breadth metric—quantifying how many assets participate in the same directional trend.
Smoothing the Breadth Line
To reduce short-term noise and isolate trend direction, the aggregated score is smoothed using an EMA of length = smoothlen (default 15). The resulting smoothed line helps identify sustained shifts in collective sentiment rather than temporary fluctuations.
Visualization and Color Coding
When scores > 0 , the market breadth is bullish and the histogram is colored blue.
When scores < 0 , the breadth turns bearish and the histogram is purple.
The same logic applies to the smoothed line and background color, offering an instant visual cue of market mood transitions.
Buy and Sell Conditions:
The indicator itself does not trigger direct buy/sell signals but rather acts as a market regime filter . Traders can use it as follows:
Buy Filter: When the smoothed value is above zero and rising, the majority of assets confirm an uptrend — this favors long setups or trend continuation entries.
Sell Filter: When the smoothed value is below zero and falling, bearish alignment dominates — ideal for short setups or defensive risk management.
Optional filters could include combining this with RSI or volume-weighted momentum indicators to confirm breadth-based reversals.
Features and Parameters:
emalength – Defines the short-term EMA length used for individual asset trend detection (default 10).
emalength2 – Defines the long-term EMA length (default 20).
smoothlen – Defines the smoothing EMA length for the total market breadth line (default 15).
40 asset inputs – User-editable symbols allow full customization of which cryptos are tracked.
Dynamic color backgrounds – Visual distinction between bullish and bearish phases.
Specifications:
Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
EMA is a type of moving average that places more weight on recent price data, responding faster to market changes compared to SMA. By comparing a short-term and long-term EMA, the indicator captures momentum shifts across each asset individually. The crossover logic (EMA10 > EMA20) signals bullish conditions, while the opposite indicates bearish momentum.
Market Breadth
Market Breadth quantifies how many assets are participating in a directional move. Instead of tracking a single coin’s trend, breadth analysis measures collective sentiment. When most coins’ short-term EMAs are above long-term EMAs, the market shows healthy bullish breadth. Conversely, when most are below, weakness dominates.
Smoothing (EMA on Scores)
After summing the breadth score, the result is smoothed with an additional EMA to mitigate the inherent volatility caused by individual coin reversals. This second-level smoothing transforms raw fluctuations into a readable, trend-consistent curve.
Color Visualization
Visual cues are integral for intuitive interpretation.
Blue Shades: Indicate bullish alignment and collective upward momentum.
Purple Shades: Indicate bearish conditions and potential risk-off phases.
The background tint reinforces visual clarity even when the indicator is overlaid on price charts.
Background Logic
By applying the same color logic to the chart’s background, users can instantly recognize the prevailing market phase.
Use Cases
As a trend confirmation filter for other indicators (e.g., trade only in the direction of positive breadth).
As a divergence tool : when price rises but breadth weakens, it may signal a topping market.
As a macro sentiment monitor : perfect for assessing when the crypto market as a whole transitions from bearish to bullish structure.
Summary
“ Market Breadth - ” transforms the chaotic price movements of 40 cryptocurrencies into a single, powerful visual representation of overall market health. By merging EMA cross analysis with market-wide aggregation and smoothing , it provides traders with a deep understanding of when bullish or bearish forces dominate the ecosystem.
It’s a clean, data-driven approach to identifying shifts in crypto market sentiment — a perfect companion for trend-following, macro analysis, and timing portfolio exposure.

VWAP – Pivot Pairs (SECONDS‑BASED RESET)VWAP – Pivot Pairs (SECONDS-BASED RESET) is a Pine Script v6 indicator for TradingView that combines pivot-based breakout detection with resettable VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) calculations over user-defined rolling time periods in seconds.It identifies high and low swing pivots via breakout logic, then calculates two VWAP lines per anchor:One using high/low as the price source,
One using close as the price source.
These form "pivot pairs" that reset automatically at the start of each custom-duration period (e.g., every 300 seconds), starting from a user-defined UTC time of day (default: 09:30 UTC).Visuals include:Colored VWAP lines (high pair: red, low pair: green),
Semi-transparent fill zones between each pair,
Optional toggles to show/hide high or low pairs.
Use CasesUse Case
Description
Intraday Scalping (1–15 min charts)
Use 60–300 second resets to capture micro-trends within larger sessions. VWAP pairs act as dynamic support/resistance after breakouts.
High-Frequency / Algo Validation
Backtest strategies on tick/second charts where traditional session resets fail. Align resets with exchange micro-sessions or volatility windows.
Opening Range Breakout (ORB) Enhancement
Set period_seconds = 1800 (30 min) and start time = 09:30 UTC → VWAP builds only on first 30 mins post-open, then floats. Pairs show deviation from ORB mean.
Range-Bound Market Analysis
In choppy markets, VWAP pairs converge near fair value. Divergence signals potential breakout. Fill color intensity shows conviction.
Multi-Timeframe Confluence
Overlay on 1-second chart with 300s reset → matches 5-minute structure. Use close-based VWAP for entries, high/low-based for stops.

In short: This is a precision VWAP tool for time-boxed, pivot-driven mean reversion and breakout trading, ideal for scalpers, day traders, and algo developers needing sub-session granularity.
Higher Timeframe Candle LevelsThis is an indicator that shows higher time frame candle levels from various preset timeframes. These higher time frame candles act as support and resistance levels, so look for reversals and continuations off of these levels. When price exceeds the high or low of these levels, you should look for breakouts in the same direction and trade with the trend.
It includes candle levels for the following timeframes: 1 hour, 4 hour, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 1 quarter and 1 year. The indicator also includes a trend candle coloring feature, trend strength scoring table, stop loss feature, line identification labels, alerts for trend changes, alerts for level touches and full customization of all options.
How To Trade With This Indicator
These higher timeframe candle levels will act as support and resistance levels, so look for price to react at any of the levels you have turned on and then look for potential bounce or reversal signs at those levels so you can trade those direction changes. Price outside of the higher timeframe candle highs and low typically signals a breakout as well, so look for price to continue after passing the highs or lows.
You can use the direction of the higher timeframe candles as your trend as well. Try to only trade in the direction of the trend of the higher timeframes to increase the likelihood of your trade going in your favor.
The highs and lows of daily and up levels are excellent levels to find quick reversal off of. Watch for price action to struggle to break through these levels and then trade the reversal. If price breaks through these levels easily, watch for price to retest the level and then continue beyond that level. Trade the retest in the direction of the trend.
The open, close and midline levels are excellent for trading bounces. Watch for price to form wicks beyond these levels and close on the other side and use that as a sign that price may bounce there. Use that with price action to confirm your trade and then take trades off of those level bounces.
Use the alerts for daily and up timeframe level touches across all of your favorite markets so that way you are always notified in real time when price is at a level that could provide a potential trading opportunity.
Higher Time Frame Candle Levels
The indicator shows the current candle open, previous open, previous high, previous low, previous close and previous candle body midline levels of each candle for each time frame. This helps you easily see what is going on with the higher time frame candles and read the price action from your lower time frame charts.
Each candle level will paint red if it was a down candle or green if it was an up candle, except the midlines and current candle open lines, those are a different color for easy differentiation. The line colors can be customized to your preferences in the settings and you can also toggle the candle body coloring on or off, as well as change the color of the candle body background.
Each timeframe can be adjusted to your preferences, allowing you to turn all of the levels on or off. You can also adjust how many previous candles show up on your chart so you can backtest it and see for yourself how accurate these levels are.
When adjusting the number of candles, you will get a notification if you have more than 500 lines turned on, so just turn down the number of levels for whatever timeframe you can’t see on your chart to lower that number below 500. The notification will go away once you are under 500 lines again. Each candle has 6 lines if all levels are turned on for that timeframe: open, current candle open, close, high, low and midline. The default settings keep you under 500 lines total, so just be aware of that limitation when adjusting those numbers and adjust the number of levels down on the timeframes that are not useful on the current chart bar.
You can also extend the levels right on any time frame from the daily levels and above. This is useful when price is breaking above or below all levels and you need to know if there are any other previous candle levels in the way as price moves away from the most recent higher time frame candles.
To understand the intraday trend of each higher time frame, look to see where price is at according to each higher time frame candle. If the price is above the midline of the candle, it is bullish. If the price is above the candle body it is more bullish. If the price is above the high, it is very bullish. If the price is below the midline of the candle, it is bearish. If the price is below the candle body it is more bearish. If the price is below the low, it is very bearish. Make sure you backtest this yourself and go through lots of historical data to get a feel for how price reacts to these levels and establishes the trend. Then use that trend information to your advantage and trade in the direction of the trend.
Since users are limited to a certain amount of historical bars based on which Tradingview plan you have, some longer timeframe levels won’t show up because the start of that candle is too far back in history. You will get a notification at the top of that chart if that happens. It will tell you to lower the display timeframe for that timeframe until that notification goes away, which means it was able to plot the most recent candle for that timeframe on your chart.
Trend Candle Coloring
The indicator includes a feature that paints the candles based on whether the current time frame candles are above or below the most recent midline, candle body or high & low of a higher time frame candle of your choice. This helps you see the overall trend of the higher timeframe so you can trade with the trend.
The candle coloring will have an up color, down color and neutral color which can all be customized to suit your preferences. If the current time frame candle close is above the setting you choose, it will show the up color. If the current time frame candle close is below the setting you choose, it will show the down color. If the current time frame candle close is equal to or in the middle of the setting you chose, it will show the neutral color.
So, for example if you set it to candle body, then it will show the up color if the current candle is above the top of the candle body, down color if it is below the bottom of the candle body and neutral color if it is inside the candle body. This helps you wait for price action to move beyond the inside of the previous higher time frame candle before taking a position when price is breaking out of that previous candle so you can trade the momentum of that move. The candle coloring is fully customizable, but make sure to turn off your candle coloring on other indicators and your chart settings for it to show up properly.
Trend Strength Scoring Table
The trend strength scoring table displays a table at the bottom of the screen(table position is customizable), showing a score for the trend strength of each higher time frame. If the current candle close is above the midline, its strength is 1. If the current candle close is above the midline, but below the top of the candle body, its strength is 2. If the current candle close is above the high, its strength is 3. The same goes for below the midline, bottom of the candle body and below the low, but the scores would be negative 1, 2 or 3 instead.
This trend strength table allows you to quickly identify the trend on each higher time frame so you can wait until the trend is the same across all time frames before placing a trade in the direction of the trend. It also shows a total score on the far right side that adds all of the current trend scores together to give you a total strength score. Try to only trade when that number is very high compared to how many time frames you have turned on. Each time frame can have up to a maximum score of 3 if bullish and -3 if bearish. Each time frame in the table can be turned on or off to suit your preferences.
Stop Loss Feature
There is also a stop loss feature that you can set to whatever time frame you choose and whatever direction you chose, such as long or short. It will follow the most recent higher time frame candle’s trend using one of the following settings: candle body, high & low or midline. Once a new higher time frame candle is created, the stop loss will update to the most recent candle’s levels so you can use these levels as a trailing stop loss to maximize your wins.
If you have it set to use the candle body and it is set to long mode, then the stop loss will use the previous higher time frame candle’s lowest candle body level. So if it was an up candle previously, it will use the open. If it was a down candle previously, it will use the close. The opposite is true for short positions.
The stop loss will start working once you turn it on in the settings and will update automatically as new higher time frame candles are formed. It also shows a line of where the stop loss was previously since it was turned on.
I recommend using the high & low setting, especially when the market starts trending.
Candle Level Identification Labels
There are labels for each level starting with the 4 hour time frame and above so you can easily tell what level of each candle you are looking at, even if the rest of the candle is not showing within the chart pane. You can customize the label coloring for up candles and down candles and midlines as well as adjust the number of bars that the labels are offset from the current bar so they are visible on your chart without overlapping the current price action or other indicator labels. Labels for each time frame can be turned on or off as needed. The 1 hour labels were not included because it clogs up the chart, but it has labels for all time frames from the 4 hour candles and up.
Alerts
The indicator includes alerts for when the trend has changed to the opposite direction. The trend change alert is based on your settings for the Trend Candle Coloring. Whatever settings you have the trend candle coloring set to, will be used to set up your alerts. The Trend Candle Coloring setting must be turned on as well when creating your alerts for it to work properly. Make sure to backtest your settings and then create your alerts.
It also has alerts for when price is touching an open or close, high or low, midline or any of those levels for each timeframe. This allows you to be notified when price touches one of these levels so you can check the chart and look for potential trade opportunities if price wants to bounce off of that level. To make it easy for you to get alerts on many different tickers, just use the alert for any level touch on whatever timeframes you want.
Other Indicators To Pair This With
Use this in combination with our Trend Strength Indicator so you can visually see the historic and current trend for all of these levels. You should also use our Breakout Scanner to find other markets with strong trends so you always know which market is trending the strongest and can trade those. Trend Strength Indicator, Higher Timeframe Candle Levels and the Breakout Scanner all use the same levels and calculate the trend scores the same way so they are designed to work together to help you quickly be able to read a chart and find what direction to trade in.
Quasimodo Pattern Strategy Back Test [TradingFinder] QM Trading🔵 Introduction
The QM pattern, also known as the Quasimodo pattern, is one of the popular patterns in price action, and it is often used by technical analysts. The QM pattern is used to identify trend reversals and provides a very good risk-to-reward ratio. One of the advantages of the QM pattern is its high frequency and visibility in charts.
Additionally, due to its strength, it is highly profitable, and as mentioned, its risk-to-reward ratio is very good. The QM pattern is highly popular among traders in supply and demand, and traders also use this pattern.
The Price Action QM pattern, like other Price Action patterns, has two types: Bullish QM and Bearish QM patterns. To identify this pattern, you need to be familiar with its types to recognize it.
🔵 Identifying the QM Pattern
🟣 Bullish QM
In the bullish QM pattern, as you can see in the image below, an LL and HH are formed. As you can see, the neckline is marked as a dashed line. When the price reaches this range, it will start its upward movement.
🟣 Bearish QM
The Price Action QM pattern also has a bearish pattern. As you can see in the image below, initially, an HH and LL are formed. The neckline in this image is the dashed line, and when the LL is formed, the price reaches this neckline. However, it cannot pass it, and the downward trend resumes.
🔵 How to Use
The Quasimodo pattern is one of the clearest structures used to identify market reversals. It is built around the concept of a structural break followed by a pullback into an area of trapped liquidity. Instead of relying on lagging indicators, this pattern focuses purely on price action and how the market reacts after exhausting one side of liquidity. When understood correctly, it provides traders with precise entry points at the transition between trend phases.
🟣 Bullish Quasimodo
A bullish Quasimodo forms after a clear downtrend when sellers start losing control. The market continues to make lower lows until a sudden higher high appears, signaling that buyers are entering with strength. Price then pulls back to retest the previous low, creating what is known as the Quasimodo low.
This area often becomes the final trap for sellers before the market shifts upward. A visible rejection or displacement from this zone confirms bullish momentum. Traders usually place entries near this level, stops below the low, and targets at previous highs or the next resistance zone. Combining the setup with demand zones or Fair Value Gaps increases its accuracy.
🟣 Bearish Quasimodo
A bearish Quasimodo forms near the top of an uptrend when buyers begin to lose strength. The market continues to make higher highs until a sudden lower low breaks the bullish structure, showing that selling pressure is entering the market. Price then retraces upward to retest the previous high, forming the Quasimodo high, where breakout buyers are often trapped.
Once rejection appears at this level, it indicates a likely reversal. Traders can enter short near this area, with stop-losses placed above the high and targets near the next support or previous lows. The setup gains more reliability when aligned with supply zones, SMT divergence, or bearish Fair Value Gaps.
🔵 Setting
Pivot Period : You can use this parameter to use your desired period to identify the QM pattern. By default, this parameter is set to the number 5.
Take Profit Mode : You can choose your desired Take Profit in three ways. Based on the logic of the QM strategy, you can select two Take Profit levels, TP1 and TP2. You can also choose your take profit based on the Reward to Risk ratio. You must enter your desired R/R in the Reward to Risk Ratio parameter.
Stop Loss Refine : The loss limit of the QM strategy is based on its logic on the Head pattern. You can refine it using the ATR Refine option to prevent Stop Hunt. You can enter your desired coefficient in the Stop Loss ATR Adjustment Coefficient parameter.
Reward to Risk Ratio : If you set Take Profit Mode to R/R, you must enter your desired R/R here. For example, if your loss limit is 10 pips and you set R/R to 2, your take profit will be reached when the price is 20 pips away from your entry point.
Stop Loss ATR Adjustment Coefficient : If you set Stop Loss Refine to ATR Refine, you must adjust your loss limit coefficient here. For example, if your buy position's loss limit is at the price of 1000, and your ATR is 10, if you set Stop Loss ATR Adjustment Coefficient to 2, your loss limit will be at the price of 980.
Entry Level Validity : Determines how long the Entry level remains valid. The higher the level, the longer the entry level will remain valid. By default it is 2 and it can be set between 2 and 15.

ATR Daily (Classic vs Robust, NY-Fix, Spike Control)📘 What this indicator does
This tool provides an advanced view of daily market volatility by comparing two versions of the Average True Range (ATR):
• Classic ATR — standard Wilder smoothing
• Robust ATR — uses median-based filtering and spike-control logic to reduce distortion from abnormal candles
Both values are calculated using daily data aligned to the New York trading session, so volatility resets at the same moment each institutional trading day begins. This keeps readings consistent across crypto, forex and stocks, even on intraday charts.
⚙️ How it works (in simple terms)
The script evaluates each True Range (TR) value relative to a median-based threshold:
• Abnormally large ranges are either clamped to a limit or excluded from updating ATR
• A hard cap prevents single spikes from inflating the entire indicator
• The result is a smoother and more realistic representation of daily volatility
This allows ATR to reflect typical market behaviour instead of rare one-off events.
📊 What appears on the chart
• Two daily ATR lines (Classic and Robust)
• Histogram showing the percentage of daily range already completed
• Red bars when price exceeds 100% of daily ATR
• A data table with volatility metrics
• Background highlights on days with extreme values
💡 How traders can use it
• Identify when a market has already completed most of its typical daily move
• Compare Classic vs Robust ATR to spot news-driven distortion
• Use Robust ATR for more stable stop-loss and take-profit logic
• Track volatility expansion or contraction across sessions
⚙️ Key settings
Setting Purpose
ATR period Standard smoothing length (default 14)
Robust mode Clamp, Freeze or Off
MAD multiplier Sensitivity to outliers
Cap × median(TR) Maximum allowed spike size
Base for passed ATR Which ATR is used to measure daily %
Freeze weekends Keeps ATR unchanged on Sat/Sun
🧩 Unique concept
Unlike typical ATR indicators, this one combines robust statistics (median + MAD) with session-based fixation. ATR values update only once per New York session, creating stable volatility measurements that match institutional timing.
🔒 Source code
The script is published with protected source code to preserve its statistical structure and prevent unauthorized modification.
🧭 Summary
ATR Daily (Classic vs Robust, NY-Fix) provides a clearer and more reliable view of daily volatility.
It helps determine whether the market is still in the early phase of its daily range or already exhausted.

Advanced Tips
Scalping Psychology
Be patient: Wait for Score 5+ setups
Be decisive: When signal appears, act immediately
Be disciplined: Follow your stop loss always
Be flexible: Exit quickly if dashboard reverses
Optimization
Backtest on your specific instrument
Adjust RSI/Stoch levels for your market
Fine-tune volume thresholds
Keep a trade journal to track which setups work best
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation
Use 5-min dashboard as "trend filter"
Take 1-min trades only in direction of 5-min SCALP signal
Increases win rate by ~10-15%
Troubleshooting
Q: Dashboard shows WAIT most of the time
Normal - scalping is about patience. Quality > Quantity
3-8 good setups per day is excellent
Q: Too many false signals
Increase minimum Score requirement to 5 or 6
Only trade with volume surge (yellow backgrounds)
Add large order detection confirmation
Q: Signals too slow
You may be on too high a timeframe
Try 1-minute chart for faster signals
Ensure real-time data feed is active
Q: Support/Resistance not updating
Normal - updates every 3 bars
If completely stuck, remove and re-add indicator
Summary
This scalping system works best when:
✅ Multiple indicators align (Score 5+)
✅ Volume and tape speed confirm the move
✅ Order flow (diamonds) confirms direction
✅ Price is at key levels (support/resistance)
✅ You manage risk strictly
✅ You exit before market close
The golden rule: When SCALP says WAIT, you WAIT. Discipline beats frequency.
