Traded Range & True ATRBlack line = Trade Range from the last X periods.
Red Line = 61.8% of black line value.
Green bar = The current trade period range.
Default Value = 21 (21 days = I business month)
Generally speaking, a stock moves approximately the same value daily. Knowing the approximate value it likes to stay within calms the nerves when you see retracement of price occuring.
IE. Price average = 1.00 in a day. It move .75 within first hour then retraces in the opposite direction. There are still hours left in the trade day, so it is trading in its value range in order to not over extend itself.
This differs in calculation from the Wells Wilder version as it smooths out jumps and only examines the ranges between high and low.
A good rule of thumb is.
Stop Loss = Entry Price +/- (ATR * 1.5)
Take Profit = (1) Entry Price +/- ATR - 50% exit (Set Trailing Stop @ Entry Value), (2) Entry Price +/- ATR * 2 (50% of remaining).

RSI Multi Time Frame - Spot Panic Sell Moments and profit!Union of three RSI indicators: 1h, 4h and daily. In order to show 1h RSI, you have to set it as active time frame on the chart.
Purpose: spot "triple oversold" moments, where all the three RSI are under the threshold, which is 30 by default but editable.
Target Market: Cryptocurrencies. Didn't try it on other ones, may work as well. Fits Crypto well as, by experience, I can tell it usually doesn't stay oversold for long.
When the market panics and triple oversold occurs, the spot is highlighted by a green vertical bar on the indicator.
The indicator highlights triple overbought conditions as well (usually indicating strong FOMO), but I usually don't use it as a signal.
I suggest to edit the oversold threshold in order to make it fit the coin you're studying, minimizing false positives.
Special thanks to Heavy91, a Discord user, for inspiring me in this indicator.

Percent Difference Between VWAP and Price MTFShows the difference between vwap and price in percent.
You can can choose between multiple timeframe vwap. Default is normal daily.
The levels on the indicator can be changed to whatever you want to.
In the chart above we can see eurusd reverting up at 3% below monthly vwap, after the brexit dip, It then turns down again at 1% from monthly and lastly it turns up again at 2% from monthly.

ICT Order Block Identifier [Eˣ]📦 Order Block Identifier
Overview
The Order Block Identifier automatically detects and displays institutional order blocks on your charts - zones where banks, hedge funds, and market makers place their orders. This indicator helps identify where institutions are likely to defend their positions and where price often finds support or resistance, based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 What This Indicator Does
Detects Order Blocks:
• 🟢 Bullish Order Blocks (OB+) - Last bearish candle before strong bullish move
• 🔴 Bearish Order Blocks (OB-) - Last bullish candle before strong bearish move
• Automatically identifies institutional buying/selling zones
• Tracks up to 30 order blocks simultaneously
• Works on all timeframes and instruments
Smart Features:
• Auto-Timeframe Adjustment - Optimizes detection for 1min to Weekly charts
• Active Block Highlighting - Shows which OB price is approaching
• Touch Tracking - Knows when blocks are tested
• ATR-Based Detection - Adapts to each instrument's volatility
• Strength Filtering - Choose Low/Medium/High to control sensitivity
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📚 Understanding Order Blocks
What Are Order Blocks?
Order blocks are the "footprints" left behind by institutional traders (banks, hedge funds, market makers) when they enter large positions. Because institutions can't fill massive orders at once without moving the market, they:
1. Place orders gradually over time
2. Leave zones where their buy/sell orders are concentrated
3. Defend these zones when price returns
4. Create reliable support and resistance levels
The ICT Concept:
Developed by Michael Huddleston (Inner Circle Trader), order block theory states that:
• The last opposite-colored candle before a strong move contains institutional orders
• Price often returns to test these zones before continuing
• These zones act as strong support (bullish OB) or resistance (bearish OB)
• Smart money defends their positions at these levels
Why Order Blocks Work:
• Unfilled Orders: Institutions may still have pending orders in the block
• Position Defense: They protect their entries by adding to positions
• Stop Placement: Retail stops cluster near these zones (liquidity for institutions)
• Market Structure: Price respects these levels due to order flow dynamics
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🟢 Bullish Order Blocks Explained
How They Form:
1. Price is consolidating or declining
2. Institutions begin accumulating (buying)
3. A strong bullish move erupts
4. The last bearish candle before this move = Bullish Order Block
5. This candle represents where institutions were buying aggressively
Why The Last Bearish Candle?
• Institutions absorbed all selling pressure at this level
• Their buy orders filled as price was declining
• When price returns, they defend this zone with more buying
• It becomes a demand zone / support level
Trading Bullish Order Blocks:
Setup:
• Wait for price to retrace back to bullish OB (green box)
• Look for rejection/reversal pattern (pin bar, engulfing, etc.)
• Enter long when price bounces from the OB zone
• Stop loss: Below the order block
• Target: Recent high or opposite order block
Best Scenarios:
• OB aligns with other support (trendline, fibonacci, round number)
• First touch of OB (unmitigated) has highest probability
• Occurs during high-volume sessions (London/NY)
• Trend is bullish on higher timeframe
Example Trade:
• Bullish OB forms at $50,000 (last red candle before rally)
• Price rallies to $52,000 then retraces
• Price drops back to $50,100 (touching OB)
• Bullish pin bar forms on the OB
• Enter long at $50,200, stop at $49,800
• Target: $52,000+ (previous high)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔴 Bearish Order Blocks Explained
How They Form:
1. Price is consolidating or rising
2. Institutions begin distributing (selling)
3. A strong bearish move erupts
4. The last bullish candle before this move = Bearish Order Block
5. This candle represents where institutions were selling aggressively
Why The Last Bullish Candle?
• Institutions absorbed all buying pressure at this level
• Their sell orders filled as price was rising
• When price returns, they defend this zone with more selling
• It becomes a supply zone / resistance level
Trading Bearish Order Blocks:
Setup:
• Wait for price to retrace back to bearish OB (red box)
• Look for rejection/reversal pattern (shooting star, bearish engulfing)
• Enter short when price rejects from the OB zone
• Stop loss: Above the order block
• Target: Recent low or opposite order block
Best Scenarios:
• OB aligns with other resistance (trendline, fibonacci, round number)
• First touch of OB (unmitigated) has highest probability
• Occurs during high-volume sessions (London/NY)
• Trend is bearish on higher timeframe
Example Trade:
• Bearish OB forms at $48,000 (last green candle before drop)
• Price drops to $46,000 then retraces
• Price rallies back to $47,900 (touching OB)
• Bearish engulfing forms at the OB
• Enter short at $47,800, stop at $48,200
• Target: $46,000- (previous low)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 How To Use This Indicator
Strategy 1: Order Block Retest (Classic)
Best For: Swing trading, capturing reversals
Timeframes: 15min, 1H, 4H, Daily
Win Rate: 60-70% (first touch)
Entry Rules:
1. Identify unmitigated order block (bright color, not gray)
2. Wait for price to return to the OB zone
3. Look for price action confirmation:
• Bullish OB: Pin bar, bullish engulfing, hammer
• Bearish OB: Shooting star, bearish engulfing, doji
4. Enter in the direction of the OB
5. Stop loss: Beyond the opposite side of OB (20-30 pips)
6. Target: 2-3R or opposite OB
Example:
• Bullish OB at $100-$102
• Price drops to $101.50 (enters OB)
• Bullish pin bar forms with low at $100.80
• Enter long at $102 (OB high), stop at $99.50
• Risk: $2.50, Target: $107.50 (3R)
Strategy 2: Break & Retest
Best For: Trend trading, breakout confirmation
Timeframes: 5min, 15min, 1H
Win Rate: 65-75%
Entry Rules:
1. Price breaks through an order block
2. Wait for pullback to the broken OB
3. The OB now acts as support (if broken up) or resistance (if broken down)
4. Enter when price respects the flipped OB
5. Stop: Inside the OB zone
6. Target: Next OB or structure level
Why It Works: Broken OBs flip polarity - support becomes resistance and vice versa
Strategy 3: Multi-Timeframe Confirmation
Best For: High-probability setups
Timeframes: Combine 1H + 4H or 15min + 1H
Win Rate: 70-80%
Entry Rules:
1. Identify order block on higher timeframe (4H or Daily)
2. Switch to lower timeframe (1H or 15min)
3. Wait for lower TF order block to form within higher TF OB
4. Trade the lower TF OB in direction of higher TF OB
5. Stop: Below lower TF OB
6. Target: Edge of higher TF OB or beyond
Why It Works: Alignment across timeframes = institutional consensus
Strategy 4: Order Block to Order Block
Best For: Range trading, swing entries
Timeframes: 1H, 4H
Win Rate: 55-65%
Entry Rules:
1. Identify both bullish OB below and bearish OB above
2. Price is ranging between these OBs
3. Enter long at bullish OB, target bearish OB
4. Enter short at bearish OB, target bullish OB
5. Stop: Beyond the trading OB
6. Exit at opposite OB
Why It Works: Price moves from one institutional zone to another
Strategy 5: Mitigation Fade
Best For: Aggressive scalping
Timeframes: 5min, 15min
Win Rate: 50-60% (higher risk)
Entry Rules:
1. Price approaches an order block
2. Instead of bouncing, price breaks through (mitigates it)
3. Enter immediately in direction of breakout
4. Stop: Back inside the mitigated OB
5. Quick target: 1-1.5R
Why It Works: When OB fails, it often leads to strong continuation

💎 Pro Tips & Best Practices
✅ DO:
• First touch is best - Unmitigated OBs have highest win rate (60-70%)
• Wait for confirmation - Don't buy/sell just because price touched OB
• Use multiple timeframes - Higher TF OBs are stronger than lower TF
• Combine with structure - OB + trendline/support = high probability
• Trade with the bias - More bullish OBs = favor longs
• Respect mitigation - Once OB is mitigated, it's less reliable
• Use proper stop loss - Always place stops beyond the OB zone
• Consider session timing - OBs work best during London/NY sessions
⚠️ DON'T:
• Don't blindly buy/sell at OBs - Wait for confirmation
• Don't ignore mitigation - Gray blocks are much weaker
• Don't trade every OB - Quality over quantity
• Don't fight strong trends - OBs can be run through in strong momentum
• Don't use alone - Combine with price action, support/resistance
• Don't expect 100% win rate - Even best OBs fail sometimes (30-40% of time)
• Don't overtrade - Wait for A+ setups with confluence
🎯 Best Timeframes By Trading Style:
• Scalpers: 1min, 5min (quick OB touches)
• Day Traders: 5min, 15min, 1H (balanced view)
• Swing Traders: 1H, 4H, Daily (major institutional zones)
• Position Traders: 4H, Daily, Weekly (strongest OBs)
🔥 Best Instruments:
• Excellent: Forex major pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD), BTC, ETH, ES, NQ
• Good: Gold, Oil, Major indices, Large-cap stocks
• Moderate: Altcoins, small-cap stocks (more noise)
• Avoid: Very low liquidity instruments (OBs less reliable)
⏰ Best Times To Trade OBs:
• London Session (03:00-12:00 EST): Highest OB respect rate
• NY Session (08:00-17:00 EST): Strong OB reactions
• London-NY Overlap (08:00-12:00 EST): Best probability
• Asian Session: Lower probability, wait for London
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎓 Advanced Order Block Concepts
Order Block Flips (Polarity Change)
When price breaks through an OB and closes beyond it:
• Bullish OB that's broken becomes bearish (support becomes resistance)
• Bearish OB that's broken becomes bullish (resistance becomes support)
• Trading: Watch for retest of broken OB from opposite side
Order Block Refinement
When multiple OBs form at similar level:
• Later OB "refines" or "replaces" the earlier one
• Use the most recent OB as the active zone
• Older OBs become less relevant
Order Block Clusters
Multiple OBs stacked close together:
• Creates a "super zone" of institutional interest
• Higher probability of reversal
• Wider zone for entries (more room for confirmation)
Fair Value Gaps + Order Blocks
When OB aligns with Fair Value Gap:
• Extremely high probability setup
• Price is drawn to fill the gap AND test the OB
• Double confluence = institutional magnet
Order Block Mitigation Types
• Full Mitigation: Price fully enters and closes inside OB
• Partial Mitigation: Price wicks into OB but closes outside
• False Mitigation: Quick touch then immediate rejection
• Partial/false mitigation = OB still somewhat valid
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📈 Common Order Block Patterns
Pattern 1: The Perfect Retest
• OB forms during strong move
• Price continues 100-200+ pips
• Price retraces back to OB
• Clean bounce with confirmation candle
• Highest probability pattern
Pattern 2: The Double Tap
• Price tests OB, bounces weakly
• Price tests same OB again
• Second test produces stronger reaction
• Second touch often better entry
Pattern 3: The Fake-Out
• Price breaks through OB
• Immediately reverses back
• "Stop hunt" or liquidity grab
• Enter after price reclaims OB
Pattern 4: The Ladder
• Multiple OBs stacked like stairs
• Price steps from one OB to next
• Each OB provides support/resistance
• Trade OB-to-OB movements
Pattern 5: The Failed OB
• Price crashes through OB without pause
• OB completely invalidated
• Often signals strong momentum
• Don't fight it, trade the breakout

Version History
• v1.0 - Initial release with auto-timeframe detection and ATR-based strength filtering
Session Sweep System – WarRoomXYZ V1WarRoom Session Sweep System v1 is a open-source institutional trading framework built to identify liquidity behavior across Asia, London, and New York sessions.
It combines session-based liquidity mapping, sweep detection, daily expansion modeling, and trend confirmation into a unified, timing-driven system optimized for XAUUSD, FX pairs, indices, and any instrument with session-dependent volatility.
This tool does not attempt to predict direction with arbitrary oscillators.
Instead, it focuses on the underlying market mechanisms that drive price:
liquidity, timing, expansion, and trend alignment.
Below is a detailed explanation of what the script does, how its components work, and how traders can use it effectively.
🔹 1. Session Liquidity Mapping
The script automatically identifies the Asia (00:00–06:00 GMT), London (07:00–12:00 GMT), and New York (13:00–17:00 GMT) sessions and builds real-time session ranges.
Each session creates a liquidity pool.
Trading institutions frequently sweep the high or low of one session before delivering the real move in the next session.
This script captures that behavior by:
►Drawing session range boxes
►Tracking previous session highs/lows
►Highlighting high-probability sweep locations
These ranges are essential reference points for timing entries and exits.
🔹 2. Liquidity Sweep Detection (Buy & Sell Sweeps)
The indicator identifies when price runs a previous session high/low and rejects back inside the range, which is commonly interpreted as a liquidity sweep.
The following sweep types are monitored:
►London sweeping Asia
►New York sweeping London
►Asia sweeping New York
►Daily sweep of PDH/PDL
Sweeps signal that liquidity has been collected and that a potential reversal or continuation is likely.
These are marked clearly on the chart for real-time decision-making.
🔹 3. Killzone Timing Model (GMT Time)
Market manipulation and expansion often occur during specific time windows.
The script highlights these institutional killzones:
►London Killzone: 07:00–10:00 GMT
►New York Killzone: 13:30–15:30 GMT
►NY PM Session: 19:00–21:00 GMT
Sweeps occurring inside these windows carry a significantly higher probability.
The timing layer helps filter out low-quality setups.
🔹 4. Daily Range & ADR Expansion Engine
A dedicated panel displays:
►Current day range
►ADR (Average Daily Range)
►Expansion stage (Early / Developed / Extended)
►PDH/PDL swept or intact
►Overall session bias
This allows traders to understand whether the daily move is likely to continue or reverse.
For example:
►Early expansion → trend continuation likely
►Extended expansion → reversal setups become more probable
This is useful for intraday targets and risk management.
🔹 5. MA Cloud Trend Model (Fast/Slow Structure)
To align liquidity behavior with directional conviction, the script includes a configurable MA engine:
►Fast & slow MA
►MA cloud
►Slope-based trend coloring
►Trend background
►MA cross alerts
The cloud provides trend confirmation without relying on oscillators.
Trades are higher quality when the sweep direction aligns with the MA trend.
🔹 6. How the Components Work Together
The script integrates several institutional concepts into one coherent model:
►Sessions define liquidity pools
►Sweeps identify stop-hunts and reversals
►Killzones define optimal timing
►MA Cloud confirms directional bias
►ADR engine indicates expansion potential
This creates a structured framework:
Sweep → Timing → Trend → Expansion → Execution
Each component strengthens the others, forming a robust decision-making model.
🔹 7. How to Use the Indicator (Practical Guide)
✔ Look for a sweep of a previous session level
When price runs a session high/low and closes back inside, liquidity has likely been collected.
✔ Confirm timing
Sweeps inside London or NY killzones tend to produce the strongest moves.
✔ Confirm trend
Use MA cloud direction and slope:
►Cloud green → long setups preferred
►Cloud red → short setups preferred
✔ Check ADR panel
If the day has already expanded significantly, reversal setups are more likely.
If expansion is still early, continuation setups are favored.
✔ Plan your trade
Common targets include:
►Opposite side of session range
►ADR High/Low
►PDH/PDL
Stops are typically placed beyond the sweep wick.
This creates a repeatable, rule-based approach to intraday liquidity trading.
🔹 8. Why This Script Is Original
This is not a mashup of existing open-source indicators.
It introduces:
►A custom session-linked liquidity sweep engine
►A structured daily expansion model
►Integrated killzone timing aligned with GMT
►A unified bias panel merging sweeps, ADR, and session manipulation
►A trend confirmation layer designed around session behavior
While it uses known institutional concepts, their integration, execution, and timing framework are unique, purpose-built, and not directly found in open-source scripts.
🔹 9. Suitable Markets
This indicator works best on:
►XAUUSD
►Major FX pairs
►US indices
►Synthetic markets with session cycles
Ideal timeframes: 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m
🔹 10. Limitations / Notes
This is an analytical tool, not a buy/sell signal generator
All sweeps are confirmed at candle close (non-repaint)
The tool assumes GMT session windows unless chart time differs
Users must practice risk management and entry triggers manually

ICT Fair Value Gap Detector [Eˣ]⚡ Fair Value Gap Detector
Overview
The Fair Value Gap Detector automatically identifies price imbalances on your charts - the inefficiencies left behind when price moves too quickly. This indicator reveals where price is likely to return for "rebalancing", based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts of market efficiency.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 What This Indicator Does
Detects Fair Value Gaps:
• 🟢 Bullish FVG - Gap left below during aggressive upward move
• 🔴 Bearish FVG - Gap left above during aggressive downward move
• Automatically identifies 3-candle price inefficiencies
• Works on all timeframes and instruments
Smart Fill Tracking:
• Full Fill - Price completely fills the gap
• 50% Fill - Price fills half the gap (critical level)
• Partial Fill - Price touches gap edge
• Real-time fill percentage tracking
• Auto-removes filled gaps (optional)
Professional Features:
• Active Gap Highlighting - Shows nearest unfilled gap
• Distance Calculator - Displays how far price is from gaps
• Market Bias - Analysis based on gap balance
• Size Filtering - Minimum gap size to avoid noise
• Visual Clarity - Clean boxes with color-coding
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📚 Understanding Fair Value Gaps
What Are Fair Value Gaps?
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), also known as imbalances or inefficiencies, are zones where price moved so quickly that normal trading didn't occur. They represent:
• Price Imbalance - One-sided aggressive buying or selling
• Unfair Pricing - Some participants didn't get to trade at these levels
• Market Inefficiency - Supply/demand equilibrium was disrupted
• Rebalancing Zones - Price often returns to "fill" these gaps
The ICT Concept:
Markets constantly seek equilibrium (fair value). When price moves too fast:
1. It leaves gaps where normal trading didn't happen
2. These gaps represent unfair/inefficient pricing
3. Market has a tendency to return and "rebalance"
4. Smart money knows this and trades the fills
Why FVGs Work:
• Unfilled Orders - Traders who missed the move have pending orders in the gap
• Algorithmic Trading - Algos programmed to exploit inefficiencies
• Market Psychology - Traders notice gaps and place orders there
• Institutional Behavior - Smart money uses gaps for entries/exits
FVG vs Regular Gaps:
• Regular Gaps - Occur at market open, between daily closes
• Fair Value Gaps - Occur intraday, between 3 consecutive candles
• FVGs happen more frequently and on all timeframes
• FVGs are more tradeable for intraday/swing traders
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🟢 Bullish Fair Value Gaps Explained
How They Form:
Bullish FVG requires 3 candles:
1. Candle 1 - Any candle (sets the high reference)
2. Candle 2 - Strong bullish candle (aggressive buying)
3. Candle 3 - Continuation candle
The Gap: Candle 3's LOW is above Candle 1's HIGH = Gap left unfilled
Visual Example:
```
Candle 3: Low at $105 ──────────┐
│ ← GAP (Bullish FVG)
Candle 2: Strong bullish │
│
Candle 1: High at $100 ──────────┘
```
What It Means:
• Price jumped from $100 to $105+ so fast, no trading occurred in between
• This $100-$105 zone is "unfair" - buyers/sellers didn't get to trade there
• Market may return to this zone to "rebalance"
• When price returns, it often acts as support
Trading Bullish FVGs:
Strategy:
• Wait for price to retrace down into the bullish FVG (green box)
• Look for rejection/bounce from the gap zone
• Enter long when price respects the FVG as support
• Stop loss: Below the FVG
• Target: Previous high or opposite FVG
Best Entry Points:
• 50% Fill: Price enters middle of gap (highest probability)
• Full Fill: Price touches bottom of gap (aggressive entry)
• Tap & Reject: Price quickly enters and exits gap (strong signal)
Example Trade:
• Bullish FVG forms: $50,000 - $50,500 (500 point gap)
• Price rallies to $52,000 then retraces

🔴 Bearish Fair Value Gaps Explained
How They Form:
Bearish FVG requires 3 candles:
1. Candle 1 - Any candle (sets the low reference)
2. Candle 2 - Strong bearish candle (aggressive selling)
3. Candle 3 - Continuation candle
The Gap: Candle 3's HIGH is below Candle 1's LOW = Gap left unfilled
Visual Example:
```
Candle 1: Low at $100 ───────────┐
│ ← GAP (Bearish FVG)
Candle 2: Strong bearish │
│
Candle 3: High at $95 ───────────┘
```
What It Means:
• Price dropped from $100 to $95 so fast, no trading occurred in between
• This $95-$100 zone is "unfair" - buyers/sellers didn't get to trade there
• Market may return to this zone to "rebalance"
• When price returns, it often acts as resistance
Trading Bearish FVGs:
Strategy:
• Wait for price to retrace up into the bearish FVG (red box)
• Look for rejection/reversal from the gap zone
• Enter short when price respects the FVG as resistance
• Stop loss: Above the FVG
• Target: Previous low or opposite FVG
Best Entry Points:
• 50% Fill: Price enters middle of gap (highest probability)
• Full Fill: Price touches top of gap (aggressive entry)
• Tap & Reject: Price quickly enters and exits gap (strong signal)
Example Trade:
• Bearish FVG forms: $48,000 - $48,500 (500 point gap)
• Price drops to $46,000 then retraces
• Price rallies to $48,250 (50% of gap filled)
• Bearish reversal candle appears
• Enter short at $48,000, stop at $48,700
• Target: $46,000-

💎 Pro Tips & Best Practices
✅ DO:
• Wait for 50% fill - Middle of gap has highest win rate (65-70%)
• Use confirmation - Don't trade just because price touched gap
• Combine with structure - FVG + support/resistance = high probability
• Trade first fill - Unfilled gaps have better success rate than refilled
• Respect full fills - Once fully filled, gap is less reliable
• Use multiple timeframes - HTF FVGs are stronger than LTF
• Check session timing - FVGs work best during London/NY sessions
• Follow the bias - More bullish FVGs = favor longs
⚠️ DON'T:
• Don't blindly fade gaps - Wait for price action confirmation
• Don't ignore momentum - Strong trends can blow through FVGs
• Don't trade every gap - Quality over quantity
• Don't assume all gaps fill - About 70-80% fill, 20-30% don't
• Don't use tight stops - Allow room for wick into gap
• Don't overtrade - Wait for confluence and confirmation
• Don't fight trends - Best FVG trades are with higher TF trend
• Don't ignore fill percentage - 50% is often the sweet spot
🎯 Best Timeframes:
• Scalpers: 1min, 5min (many gaps, quick fills)
• Day Traders: 5min, 15min, 1H (balanced)
• Swing Traders: 1H, 4H, Daily (larger, more reliable gaps)
• Position Traders: 4H, Daily, Weekly (major imbalances)
🔥 Best Instruments:
• Excellent: BTC, ETH, ES, NQ, Forex majors (clean price action)
• Good: Gold, Oil, Major indices, Large-cap stocks
• Moderate: Altcoins, small-cap stocks (more noise)
• Best Markets: Trending markets with clear swings
⏰ Best Times for FVG Trading:
• London Session: High volume = reliable gap fills
• NY Session: Strong moves create quality gaps
• London-NY Overlap: Best time for gap creation and fills
• Asian Session: Lower probability, wait for London
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎓 Advanced FVG Concepts
FVG Mitigation Levels
Understanding fill percentages:
• 0-25% Fill: Gap barely touched, often continues without fill
• 25-50% Fill: Partial rebalancing, may reverse here
• 50% Fill: CRITICAL LEVEL - Highest probability reversal zone
• 50-75% Fill: Deep rebalancing, strong reversal likely
• 75-100% Fill: Full rebalancing, gap's purpose fulfilled
Why 50% Matters: Market seeks equilibrium, and 50% represents perfect balance
FVG Inversions
When price breaks through a gap completely:
• Bullish FVG that's broken becomes bearish (support → resistance)
• Bearish FVG that's broken becomes bullish (resistance → support)
• Inverted gaps are weaker than fresh gaps
• Trading: Can fade the inverted gap but with caution
FVG Confluence Zones
Multiple FVGs at similar level:
• Creates "super gap" or confluence zone
• Much higher probability of reaction
• Wider zone for entries (more room for stops)
• Often aligns with other institutional concepts
FVG + Order Block Combo
When FVG overlaps with Order Block:
• Double institutional concept
• Extremely high probability setup (75-85% win rate)
• Price drawn to fill gap AND test order block
• Use tight stops, generous targets (3-5R possible)
Nested FVGs (Multi-Timeframe)
Small FVG inside larger FVG:
• Daily FVG contains 4H FVG contains 1H FVG
• Trade the smallest FVG in direction of larger ones
• Highest probability when all aligned
• Progressive targets: Fill small → medium → large gaps
FVG Exhaustion
When price creates multiple FVGs in same direction:
• Indicates strong momentum/impulsive move
• Each gap represents acceleration
• Last gap often signals exhaustion
• Watch for reversal after filling final gap
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📈 Common FVG Patterns
Pattern 1: The Perfect Rebalance
• FVG forms during strong move
• Price continues 100+ pips
• Clean return to 50% of gap
• Immediate reversal
• Textbook setup, 70%+ win rate
Pattern 2: The Double Fill
• Price partially fills gap (25%)
• Weak reaction, continues
• Returns again for deeper fill (75%)
• Strong reversal on second fill
• Second fill often better entry
Pattern 3: The Blow-Through
• Price approaches gap
• Completely ignores it, no reaction
• Keeps going in same direction
• Sign of very strong momentum
Pattern 4: The Magnet Effect
• Price slowly grinds toward gap
• Accelerates as it gets close
• Quickly fills and reverses
• Common in ranging markets
Pattern 5: The False Fill
• Price wicks into gap briefly
• Immediately reverses without filling
• "Stop hunt" or liquidity grab
• Gap remains unfilled
• Often precedes strong move

What This Script Does
This is a position scaling indicator that tells you exactly when to enter, add to, and exit trades using a simplified 5-EMA system. It removes the guesswork and decision fatigue from trading by giving you clear visual signals.
The Core Concept
3 entry signals that build your position from 20% → 50% → 100%
2 exit signals that scale you out at 50% → 50% (complete exit)
1 higher timeframe filter that keeps you on the right side of the trend
No Fibonacci calculations, no RSI divergence, no multi-indicator confusion. Just EMAs and price action.
What You'll See On Your Chart
1. Colored EMA Lines
Blue Lines (Entry Zone):
3 EMA (lightest blue) - Early reversal detector
5 EMA (darker blue) - Confirmation line
Green Lines (Add Zone):
21 EMA (bright green) - First add location
34 EMA (lighter green) - Final add location
Red Lines (Exit Zone):
89 EMA (lighter red) - First exit trigger
144 EMA (darker red) - Final exit trigger
Orange Lines (Hyper Frame - optional):
Hyper 21 EMA (from higher timeframe) - Trend direction
Hyper 34 EMA (from higher timeframe) - Bias confirmation
2. Triangle Signals
Green Triangles (Below Price) = BUY/ADD:
Lime triangle with "20%" = Entry 1: Price reclaimed 3→5 EMA (starter position)
Green triangle with "30%" = Entry 2: Price bounced off 21 EMA (first add)
Teal triangle with "50%" = Entry 3: Price broke out from 34 EMA compression (final add)
Red Triangles (Above Price) = SELL:
Orange triangle with "50% OFF" = Exit 1: Price broke below 89 EMA (take half off)
Red triangle with "EXIT ALL" = Exit 2: Price broke below 144 EMA (close remaining position)
3. Background Color (Trend Bias)
Light green background = Hyper frame EMAs trending up (bias LONG)
Light red background = Hyper frame EMAs trending down (bias SHORT)
Gray background = Neutral/choppy (be cautious)
4. Info Table (Top Right Corner)
A live status dashboard showing:
Which entry signals are currently active (✓ or —)
Which exit signals are currently active (⚠ or ⛔)
Current hyper frame bias (🟢 LONG / 🔴 SHORT / ⚪ NEUTRAL)

How to Trade With This Script
The Basic Workflow
Before the Market Opens:
Check the background color and info table bias
Green background? Look for LONG setups only
Red background? Look for SHORT setups only
Gray background? Stay flat or trade small
During the Trading Session:
LONGS (When hyper frame is bullish):
Wait for Entry 1 signal:
Lime triangle appears with "20%"
Price has reclaimed the 5 EMA after dipping to 3 EMA
Action: Enter 20% of your intended position
Stop loss: Place below the 5 EMA or recent swing low
Wait for Entry 2 signal:
Green triangle appears with "30%"
Price pulled back to 21 EMA and bounced
Action: Add 30% more (you're now at 50% total)
Move stop: Trail it up to below 21 EMA
Wait for Entry 3 signal:
Teal triangle appears with "50%"
Price compressed at 34 EMA and broke out
Action: Add final 50% (you're now 100% loaded)
Move stop: Trail it up to below 34 EMA
Wait for Exit 1 signal:
Orange triangle appears with "50% OFF"
Price broke below 89 EMA
Action: Exit 50% of your position immediately
Move stop on rest: Trail to 89 EMA or lock in profits
Wait for Exit 2 signal:
Red triangle appears with "EXIT ALL"
Price broke below 144 EMA
Action: Exit remaining 50% (you're now flat)
Or: Stop gets hit at 89 EMA (same result)
SHORTS (When hyper frame is bearish):
Same process, but inverted
Triangles appear above price instead of below
Look for breakdowns below EMAs instead of bounces off them
Exit when price reclaims 89 and 144 EMAs

Common Questions
"What if I miss Entry 1? Can I still take Entry 2?"
Yes! Each entry is independent. If you miss the 3→5 reclaim, wait for the 21 EMA bounce. You'll start with a 30% position instead of 20%, but that's fine.
Rule: Never chase. Wait for the next EMA setup.
"What if multiple entry signals trigger at the same bar?"
Rare, but possible. If you see both Entry 1 and Entry 2 trigger together:
Take Entry 1 first (20%)
If the next bar confirms Entry 2 is still valid, add 30%
When in doubt, scale in gradually
"The hyper frame is green but I'm seeing short signals?"
Don't take them. The hyper frame is your bias filter. If it says "go long," ignore short setups. They're usually lower probability and will get stopped out.
"Can I use this for swing trading overnight?"
Absolutely. Just switch your hyper frame:
If you're on Daily charts, use Weekly hyper frame
If you're on 4H charts, use Daily hyper frame
Adjust position sizes for overnight risk
"What if the signal appears right at market close?"
Don't chase it. Wait for the next bar (next day) to confirm. Signals that appear in the last 5 minutes are often noise.
"How do I set up alerts?"
Right-click on the chart
Select "Add Alert"
Choose "LazyEMA" from the condition dropdown
Select which signal you want alerts for:
Entry 1: 3→5 Reclaim
Entry 2: 21 EMA Add
Entry 3: 34 EMA Breakout
Exit 1: 89 EMA Break
Exit 2: 144 EMA Break
Click "Create"
Pro tip: Set up all 5 alerts so you never miss a signal.
Position Sizing Guide see
swingtradenotes.substack.com
Critical Rule: Know your total risk BEFORE you take Entry 1. Don't wing it.

The "Don't Be Stupid" Checklist
Before taking ANY signal from this script, ask:
✅ Is the hyper frame bias pointing in my direction?
✅ Is the signal clean (not at a weird time or during news)?
✅ Do I know my stop loss level?
✅ Do I know my position size?
✅ Can I afford to lose if this trade fails?
If you answered "no" to ANY of these, skip the trade.
Troubleshooting
"I'm not seeing any signals"
Possible causes:
The "Show Lazy Trader System" toggle is off (turn it on)
Your chart timeframe is too high (try 1H or 4H)
Market is in a tight range (EMAs are compressed)
You need to refresh the chart
"Too many signals, getting whipsawed"
Fixes:
Increase your chart timeframe (go from 15m to 1H)
Switch to a less volatile ticker
Only trade when hyper frame bias is STRONG (not neutral)
Add a minimum bar count between signals
"The info table is covering my price action"
Fix:
Edit the script
Find the line: table.new(position.top_right, ...
Change position.top_right to position.bottom_right or position.top_left
"Signals appear then disappear"
This is normal (repainting). Some signals (especially compression breakouts) can disappear if the next bar reverses. This is why you:
Wait for bar close before acting
Use alerts that only fire on confirmed bars
Don't chase signals mid-bar
Final Thoughts
This script is a decision-making tool, not a crystal ball. It shows you high-probability setups based on EMA dynamics and trend structure. You still need to:
Manage your risk
Choose your position size
Stick to the rules
Accept losses when they happen
The system works when YOU work the system.
Print this guide, tape it next to your monitor, and follow it religiously for 20 trades before making ANY changes.
Good luck, and stay lazy (the smart way).
Luxy VWAP Magic - MTF Projection EngineThis indicator transforms the classic VWAP into a comprehensive trading system. Instead of switching between multiple indicators, you get everything in one place: multi-timeframe analysis, statistical bands, momentum detection, volume profiling, session tracking, and divergence signals.
What Makes This Different
Traditional VWAP indicators show a single line. This tool treats VWAP as a foundation for complete market analysis. The indicator automatically detects your asset type (stocks, crypto, forex, futures) and adjusts its behavior accordingly. Crypto traders get 24/7 session tracking. Stock traders get proper market hours handling. Everyone gets institutional-grade analytics.
Anchor Period Options
The anchor period determines when VWAP resets and recalculates. You have three categories of options:
Time-Based Anchors:
Session - Resets at market open. Best for intraday stock trading where you want fresh VWAP each day.
Day - Resets at midnight UTC. Standard option for most traders.
Week / Month / Quarter / Year - Longer reset periods for swing traders and position traders who want broader context.
Rolling Window Anchors:
Rolling 5D - A sliding 5-day window that never resets. Solves the Monday problem where weekly VWAP equals daily VWAP on first day of week.
Rolling 21D - Approximately one month of trading data in continuous calculation. Excellent for crypto and forex markets that trade 24/7 without clear session breaks.
Event-Based Anchors:
Dividends - Resets on ex-dividend dates. Track institutional cost basis from dividend events.
Splits - Resets on stock split dates. Useful for analyzing post-split trading behavior.
Earnings - Resets on earnings report dates. See where volume-weighted trading occurred since last quarterly report.
Standard Deviation Bands
Three sets of bands surround the main VWAP line:
Band 1 (Aqua) - Plus and minus one standard deviation. Approximately 68% of price action occurs within this range under normal distribution. Touches suggest minor extension.
Band 2 (Fuchsia) - Plus and minus two standard deviations. Only 5% of trading should occur outside this range statistically. Touches here indicate significant overextension and high probability of mean reversion.
Band 3 (Purple) - Plus and minus three standard deviations. Touches are rare (0.3% probability) and represent extreme conditions. Often marks climax moves or panic selling/buying.
Each band can be toggled independently. Most traders show Band 1 by default and add Band 2 and 3 for specific setups or volatile instruments.
Multi-Timeframe VWAP System
The MTF section plots previous period VWAPs as horizontal support and resistance levels:
Daily VWAP - Previous day's final VWAP value. Key intraday reference level.
Weekly VWAP - Previous week's final VWAP. Important for swing traders.
Monthly VWAP - Previous month's final VWAP. Institutional benchmark level.
Quarterly VWAP - Previous quarter's final VWAP. Major support/resistance for position traders.
Previous Day VWAP - Yesterday's closing VWAP specifically, separate from current daily calculation.
The Confluence Zone percentage setting determines how close multiple VWAPs must be to trigger a confluence alert. When two or more timeframe VWAPs converge within this threshold, you get a high-probability support/resistance zone.
Session VWAPs for Global Markets
For forex, crypto, and futures traders who operate in 24/7 markets, the indicator tracks three major global sessions:
Asia Session - UTC 21:00 to 08:00. Gold colored line. Typically lower volatility, range-bound action that sets overnight levels.
London Session - UTC 08:00 to 17:00. Orange colored line. Often determines daily direction with high volume European participation.
New York Session - UTC 13:00 to 22:00. Blue colored line. Highest volume session globally. Sharp directional moves common.
Previous session VWAP values display as horizontal lines when each session closes, acting as intraday support and resistance. The table shows which sessions are currently active with checkmarks.
On-Chart Labels and Signals
The indicator plots several types of labels directly on price action when significant events occur:
Volume Spike Labels
Fire when current bar volume exceeds configurable thresholds relative to both the previous bar and the 20-bar average. Default settings require 300% of previous bar AND 200% of average volume. Green labels indicate bullish candles. Red labels indicate bearish candles. These spikes often mark institutional entry points.
Momentum Shift Labels
Appear when VWAP acceleration changes direction. The Slowing label warns when an active trend loses steam, often preceding reversal. The Accelerating label confirms trend continuation or potential bottom during downtrends. Filters available to show only reversal signals in existing trends.
VWAP Squeeze Labels
Detect when standard deviation bands contract relative to ATR (Average True Range). Low volatility compression often precedes explosive breakout moves. When the squeeze fires (releases), a label appears with directional prediction based on VWAP slope.
Divergence Labels
Mark price/volume divergences using CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta) analysis:
Bullish divergence: Price makes lower low, but CVD makes higher low. Hidden accumulation despite price weakness.
Bearish divergence: Price makes higher high, but CVD makes lower high. Hidden distribution despite price strength.
Dynamic VWAP Coloring
The main VWAP line changes color based on its slope direction:
Green - VWAP is rising. Institutional buying pressure. Volume-weighted price increasing.
Red - VWAP is falling. Institutional selling pressure. Volume-weighted price decreasing.
Gray - VWAP is flat. Consolidation or balance between buyers and sellers.
This coloring can be disabled for a static blue line if you prefer cleaner visuals. The VWAP label next to the line shows the current trend direction and delta percentage.
Calculated Projection Cone
One of the most powerful features is the Calculated Projection Cone. Unlike traditional extrapolation methods that simply extend a trend line forward, this system analyzes what actually happened in similar market conditions throughout the chart's history.
How It Works:
The system classifies each bar into one of 27 unique market states:
Z-Score Level - LOW (oversold), MID (fair value), or HIGH (overbought) based on configurable thresholds
Trend Direction - DOWN, FLAT, or UP based on VWAP slope
Volume Profile - LOW (below 80%), NORMAL (80-150%), or HIGH (above 150%) relative volume
When you look at the current bar, the indicator:
1. Identifies the current market state (e.g., LOW Z-Score + UP Trend + HIGH Volume)
2. Searches through all historical bars on the chart that had the same state
3. Calculates what happened in those bars X bars later (where X is your projection horizon)
4. Shows you the probability of up/down and the average move size
Visual Elements:
Probability Cone - Colored green (bullish probability above 55%), red (bearish below 45%), or gold (neutral). The cone width represents the historical range of outcomes (roughly the 20th to 80th percentile).
Center Line - Shows the average expected price based on historical outcomes in similar conditions.
Probability Label - Displays direction probability and average move. Example: "67% UP (+0.8%)" means 67% of similar past cases moved up, averaging 0.8% gain.
Fallback System:
When the exact 27-state match has insufficient historical data:
First fallback: Uses Z-Score plus Trend only (9 broader states, ignoring volume)
Second fallback: Uses Z-Score only (3 states)
When fallback is active, confidence automatically adjusts
Settings:
Projection Horizon - How many bars forward to analyze outcomes (5, 10, 15, or 20 bars, default 10)
Lookback Period - Historical data window in days (30-252, default 60)
Minimum Samples - Cases needed before using fallback (5-30, default 10)
Z-Score Threshold - Bucket boundary for LOW/MID/HIGH classification (1.0, 1.5, or 2.0 sigma)
Cloud Transparency - Adjust visibility (50-95%)
Colors - Customize bullish, bearish, and neutral cone colors
Confidence Levels:
HIGH - 30 or more similar historical cases found
MEDIUM - 15-29 similar cases
LOW - Fewer than 15 cases (more uncertainty)
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:
The Calculated Projection is based on past patterns only. It is NOT a price prediction or financial advice. Similar market states in the past do not guarantee similar outcomes in the future. The probability shown is historical frequency, not a guarantee. Always combine with other analysis and never rely solely on projections for trading decisions.

The Info Table - Your Trading Dashboard
The right side of your chart displays a compact table with up to twelve metrics.
Row-by-Row Breakdown:
Asset and Period - Shows what the indicator detected (US Stock, Crypto, Forex, etc.) and your selected anchor period. The detection happens automatically based on exchange data, so VWAP resets and calculations match your actual trading instrument.
Delta Percentage - How far current price sits from VWAP, expressed as a percentage. Positive means price trades above fair value. Negative means below. Large delta values (beyond 1-2%) often precede mean reversion moves. Day traders watch this for overextension.
Z-Score - Statistical deviation from VWAP measured in standard deviations. Unlike raw delta, Z-Score accounts for volatility. A 2% move in a volatile biotech stock differs from 2% in a stable utility. Z-Score normalizes this. Values beyond plus or minus two sigma occur only 5% of the time statistically.
Trend Direction - Whether VWAP itself is rising, falling, or flat. Rising VWAP means the volume-weighted average price is increasing, which indicates institutional accumulation. Falling VWAP suggests distribution. This differs from price trend since it weights by volume.
Momentum State - Is the trend accelerating or slowing down? This measures the rate of change in VWAP slope. When an uptrend shows slowing momentum, it often precedes reversal. Accelerating momentum in a downtrend can signal capitulation and potential bottom.
Relative Volume - Current bar volume compared to the 20-bar average, shown as percentage. Values above 150% indicate above-average activity. Spikes above 200-300% often mark institutional involvement. Low volume (below 80%) warns of potential fake moves.
MTF Bias - Four checkmarks or X marks showing whether price sits above or below Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Quarterly VWAP. Four checkmarks means strong bullish alignment across all timeframes. Four X marks indicates bearish alignment. Mixed readings suggest consolidation or transition.
Band Probabilities - Historical statistics showing how often price touched each standard deviation band over your lookback period. This helps you understand if mean reversion or trend following works better for your specific instrument.
Session Status - Which global trading sessions are currently active (Asia, London, New York). Shows checkmarks for active sessions. Important for forex and crypto traders who need to know when major liquidity windows open and close.
Divergence State - Whether the indicator detects bullish or bearish divergence between price and cumulative volume delta. Bullish divergence occurs when price makes lower lows but buying pressure (CVD) makes higher lows, suggesting hidden accumulation.
Confidence Score - A weighted composite of all factors displayed as a progress bar and percentage. Combines MTF alignment, Z-Score, trend direction, volume delta, momentum, and relative volume into a single 0-100 score. Higher scores indicate stronger conviction setups.
Calculated Projection - When the Projection Cone is enabled, shows the historical probability of price direction and expected move. For example: "▲ 67% (+0.8%)" means in similar market states historically, price moved up 67% of the time with an average gain of 0.8%. The system analyzes 27 unique market states based on Z-Score, Trend, and Volume conditions.
Recommended Use Cases
Day Trading Stocks:
Use Session anchor with Band 1 visible. Watch for price returning to VWAP after morning move. Volume spikes near VWAP often mark institutional accumulation zones.
Swing Trading:
Use Weekly or Rolling 21D anchor. Enable MTF lines for Daily and Weekly levels. Trade pullbacks to these levels in direction of MTF bias.
Crypto and Forex:
Enable Session VWAPs. Use Rolling anchors to avoid artificial resets. Monitor session transitions for breakout opportunities.
Mean Reversion:
Focus on Z-Score reaching plus or minus two. Add Band 2 visibility. Combine with slowing momentum for highest probability reversals.
Trend Following:
Watch MTF bias alignment. Four checkmarks plus accelerating momentum plus high volume confirms trend continuation setups.
Projection Planning:
Enable the Calculated Projection to see what happened historically in similar market conditions. Use 5-10 bars for intraday setups, 15-20 bars for swing trade planning. Focus on high probability readings (above 60%) with HIGH confidence (30 or more samples). The cone shows the probable range of outcomes based on actual historical data. Combine with other factors like MTF alignment and volume for higher conviction setups.
Important Notes
The indicator does not repaint. MTF values use previous period's confirmed data.
Rolling VWAP works best on 15-minute timeframes and above due to bar lookback requirements.
Session VWAPs apply to global markets by default (forex, crypto, futures). Enable the all-assets option for stocks if desired.
Volume data for forex represents tick volume, not actual traded volume.
All alert conditions fire only on confirmed (closed) bars to prevent false signals.
The Calculated Projection updates each bar as market state changes. This is expected behavior. The projection shows probabilities based on similar past conditions, not a fixed prediction.
Q AND A
Q: Does this indicator repaint?
A: No. The main VWAP calculation uses standard TradingView VWAP methodology. Multi-timeframe values use previous period's confirmed data with appropriate lookahead settings. All alert signals require bar confirmation.
Q: Why does my Rolling VWAP look different on 1-minute versus 15-minute charts?
A: Rolling VWAP calculates across a fixed number of trading days. On very short timeframes, the bar lookback may hit TradingView limits. For best Rolling VWAP accuracy, use 15-minute or higher timeframes.
Q: Can I use this on any instrument?
A: Yes. The indicator automatically detects asset type and adjusts behavior. Stocks use standard market hours. Crypto uses 24/7 calculations. Forex uses tick volume. Everything adapts automatically.
Q: What does the Confidence Score actually measure?
A: The score combines six weighted factors: MTF alignment (25%), Z-Score position (20%), Trend direction (20%), CVD pressure (15%), Momentum state (10%), and Relative volume (10%). Higher scores indicate more factors aligned in one direction.
Q: Why are Session VWAPs not showing on my stock chart?
A: Session VWAPs apply to 24-hour markets by default (forex, crypto, futures). For stocks, enable the Use for All Assets option in Session VWAP settings.
Q: The Divergence labels appear delayed. Is this a bug?
A: Divergence detection requires pivot confirmation, which needs bars on both sides of the pivot point. The label appears at the actual pivot location (several bars back) once confirmed. This is intentional and prevents false signals.
Q: Can I change the band colors?
A: Yes. Each of the three bands has its own color input setting. You can customize Band 1, Band 2, and Band 3 colors to match your preferences. The defaults are Aqua, Fuchsia, and Purple. The main VWAP line color adapts dynamically based on slope direction or can be set to static blue.
Q: How do I set up alerts?
A: Right-click on the chart, select Add Alert, choose this indicator, and select your desired condition from the dropdown. All conditions include descriptive alert messages with relevant data.
Q: What is the Probability Engine lookback period?
A: This setting determines how many trading days the indicator analyzes to calculate band touch rates and mean reversion statistics. Default is 60 days (approximately 3 months). Longer periods provide more stable statistics but may miss recent behavior changes.
Q: Why do I see fewer labels than expected?
A: Signal labels (Volume, Momentum, Squeeze, Divergence) are limited to 5 most recent labels on the chart to keep it clean. When a new label appears, the oldest one is automatically removed. Additionally, momentum labels have several filters: check the slope multiplier setting (higher values require stronger trends) and the Only Reversal Signals option (when enabled, labels only appear for potential reversals, not trend confirmations).
Q: What is the Calculated Projection and how accurate is it?
A: The Calculated Projection analyzes what happened in past market conditions similar to the current state. It classifies each bar by Z-Score level, Trend direction, and Volume profile (27 unique states), then shows the historical probability of up vs down and the average move size. It is NOT a price prediction or guarantee. The probability shown is how often similar conditions led to up/down moves historically, not a future guarantee. Always use it as one input among many.
Q: Why does the Projection probability change?
A: The projection updates on each bar as market state changes. If Z-Score moves from LOW to MID, or trend shifts from UP to FLAT, the system looks up a different historical category. This is expected behavior. The projection shows what happened in similar past conditions to the current bar's state.
Q: The Projection shows LOW confidence. What does that mean?
A: Confidence levels indicate sample size: HIGH means 30 or more historical cases found, MEDIUM means 15-29 cases, LOW means fewer than 15 cases. When sample size is low, the system uses a fallback: first aggregating by Z-Score plus Trend only (ignoring volume), then by Z-Score only. LOW confidence means less statistical reliability, so weight other factors more heavily in your decision.
Q: Why does the cone sometimes show 50/50 probability?
A: A 50/50 reading means that in similar past market states, price moved up roughly half the time and down half the time. This indicates a neutral or balanced condition where historical patterns provide no directional edge. Consider waiting for a higher probability setup or using other analysis methods.

US Market Long Horizon Momentum Summary in one paragraph
US Market Long Horizon Momentum is a trend following strategy for US index ETFs and futures built around a single eighteen month time series momentum measure. It helps you stay long during persistent bull regimes and step aside or flip short when long term momentum turns negative.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Large cap US equity indices, liquid US index ETFs, index futures
• Timeframes. 4h/ Daily charts
• Default demo used in the publication. SPY on 4h timeframe chart
• Purpose. Provide a minimal long bias index timing model that can reduce deep drawdowns and capture major cycles without parameter mining
• Limits. This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles only
Originality and usefulness
• Unique concept or fusion. One unscaled multiple month log return of an external benchmark symbol drives all entries and exits, with optional volatility targeting as a single risk control switch.
• Failure mode addressed. Fully passive buy and hold ignores the sign of long horizon momentum and can sit through multi year drawdowns. This script offers a way to step down risk in prolonged negative momentum without chasing short term noise.
• Testability. All parameters are visible in Inputs and the momentum series is plotted so users can verify every regime change in the Tester and on price history.
• Portable yardstick. The log return over a fixed window is a unit that can be applied to any liquid symbol with daily data.
Method overview in plain language
The method looks at how far the benchmark symbol has moved in log return terms over an eighteen month window in our example. If that long horizon return is positive the strategy allows a long stance on the traded symbol. If it is negative and shorts are enabled the strategy can flip short, otherwise it goes flat. There is an optional realised volatility estimate on the traded symbol that can scale position size toward a target annual volatility, but in the default configuration the model uses unit leverage and only the sign of momentum matters.
Base measures
Return basis. The core yardstick is the natural log of close divided by the close eighteen months ago on the benchmark symbol. Daily log returns of the traded symbol feed the realised volatility estimate when volatility targeting is enabled.
Components
• Component one Momentum eighteen months. Log of benchmark close divided by its close mom_lookback bars ago. Its sign defines the trend regime. No extra smoothing is applied beyond the long window itself.
• Component two Realised volatility optional. Standard deviation of daily log returns on the traded symbol over sixty three days. Annualised by the square root of 252. Used only when volatility targeting is enabled.
• Optional component Volatility targeting. Converts target annual volatility and realised volatility into a leverage factor clipped by a maximum leverage setting.
Fusion rule
The model uses a simple gate. First compute the sign of eighteen month log momentum on the benchmark symbol. Optionally compute leverage from volatility. The sign decides whether the strategy wants to be long, short, or flat. Leverage only rescales position size when enabled and does not change direction.
Signal rule
• Long suggestion. When eighteen month log momentum on the benchmark symbol is greater than zero, the strategy wants to be long.
• Short suggestion. When that log momentum is less than zero and shorts are allowed, the strategy wants to be short. If shorts are disabled it stays flat instead.
• Wait state. When the log momentum is exactly zero or history is not long enough the strategy stays flat.
• In position. In practice the strategy sits IN LONG while the sign stays positive and flips to IN SHORT or flat only when the sign changes.
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Momentum Lookback (months). Controls the horizon of the log return on the benchmark symbol. Typical range 6 to 24 months. Raising it makes the model slower and more selective. Lowering it makes it more reactive and sensitive to medium term noise.
• Symbol. External symbol used for the momentum calculation, SPY by default. Changing it lets you time other indices or run signals from a benchmark while trading a correlated instrument.
Logic
• Allow Shorts. When true the strategy will open short positions during negative momentum regimes. When false it will stay flat whenever momentum is negative. Practical setting is tied to whether you use a margin account or an ETF that supports shorting.
Internal risk parameters (not exposed as inputs in this version) are:
• Target Vol (annual). Target annual volatility for volatility targeting, default 0.2.
• Vol Lookback (days). Window for realised volatility, default 63 trading days.
• Max Leverage. Cap on leverage when volatility targeting is enabled, default 2.
Usage recipes
Swing continuation
• Signal timeframe. Use the daily chart.
• Benchmark symbol. Leave at SPY for US equity index exposure.
• Momentum lookback. Eighteen months as a default, with twelve months as an alternative preset for a faster swing bias.
Properties visible in this publication
• Initial capital. 100000
• Base currency. USD
• Default order size method. 5% of the total capital in this example
• Pyramiding. 0
• Commission. 0.03 percent
• Slippage. 3 ticks
• Process orders on close. On
• Bar magnifier. Off
• Recalculate after order is filled. Off
• Calc on every tick. Off
• All request.security calls use lookahead = barmerge.lookahead_off
Realism and responsible publication
The strategy is for education and research only. It does not claim any guaranteed edge or future performance. All results in Strategy Tester are hypothetical and depend on the data vendor, costs, and slippage assumptions. Intrabar motion is not modeled inside daily bars so extreme moves and gaps can lead to fills that differ from live trading. The logic is built for standard candles and should not be used on synthetic chart types for execution decisions.
Performance is sensitive to regime structure in the US equity market, which may change over time. The strategy does not protect against single day crash risk inside bars and does not model gap risk explicitly. Past behavior of SPY and the momentum effect does not guarantee future persistence.
Honest limitations and failure modes
• Long sideways regimes with small net change over eighteen months can lead to whipsaw around the zero line.
• Very sharp V shaped reversals after deep declines will often be missed because the model waits for momentum to turn positive again.
• The sample size in a full SPY history is small because regime changes are infrequent, so any test must be interpreted as indicative rather than statistically precise.
• The model is highly dependent on the chosen lookback. Users should test nearby values and validate that behavior is qualitatively stable.
Legal
Education and research only. Not investment advice. You are responsible for your own decisions. Always test on historical data and in simulation with realistic costs before any live use.

DarkPool FlowDarkPool Flow is a professional-grade technical analysis tool designed to align retail traders with the dominant "smart money" flow. Unlike standard moving average crossovers that often generate false signals during consolidation, this script employs a multi-layered filtering engine to isolate high-probability trends.
The core philosophy of this indicator is that Trends are fractal. A sustainable move on a lower timeframe must be supported by momentum on a higher timeframe. By comparing a "Fast Signal Trend" against a "Slow Anchor Trend" (e.g., Daily vs. Weekly), the script identifies the market bias used by institutional algorithms.
This edition features a Smart Recovery Engine, ensuring that valid trends are not missed simply because momentum started slowly, and a Dynamic Cloud that visually represents the strength of the trend spread.
Key Features
1. Auto-Adaptive Timeframe Logic
The script eliminates the guesswork of Multi-Timeframe (MTF) selection. By enabling "Auto-Adapt," the indicator detects your current chart timeframe and automatically maps it to the mathematically correct institutional pairings:
Scalping (<15m): Uses 15-Minute Trend vs. 1-Hour Anchor.
Day Trading (15m - 1H): Uses 4-Hour Trend vs. Daily Anchor.
Swing Trading (4H - Daily): Uses Daily Trend vs. Weekly Anchor (The classic "Golden" setup).
Investing (Weekly): Uses 21-Week EMA vs. 50-Week SMA (Bull Market Support Band logic).
2. Smart Recovery Signal Engine
Standard crossover scripts often miss major moves if the specific breakout candle has low volume or weak ADX. This script utilizes a state-machine logic that "remembers" the trend direction. If a trend begins during low volatility (gray candles), the script waits. The moment volatility and momentum confirm the move, a Smart Recovery Signal is triggered, allowing you to enter an existing trend safely.
3. Chop Protection (Gray Candles)
Preservation of capital is the priority. The script analyzes the Average Directional Index (ADX) and Volatility (ATR).
Colored Candles (Green/Red): The market is trending with sufficient strength. Trading is permitted.
Gray Candles: The market is in a low-energy chop or consolidation (ADX < 20). Trading is discouraged.
4. Dynamic Trend Cloud
The space between the Fast and Slow trends is filled with a dynamic cloud.
Darker/Opaque Cloud: Indicates a widening spread, suggesting accelerating momentum.
Lighter/Transparent Cloud: Indicates a narrowing spread, suggesting the trend may be weakening or consolidating.
5. Pullback & Retest Signals (+)
While triangles mark the start of a trend, the Plus (+) signs mark low-risk opportunities to add to a position. These appear when price dips into the cloud, finds support at the "Fair Value" zone, and closes back in the direction of the trend with confirmed momentum.

Stop Loss: A standard institutional stop loss is placed just beyond the Slow Trend Line (the outer edge of the cloud). If price closes beyond the Slow Trend, the macro thesis is invalid.
Take Profit: Target liquidity pools or use a trailing stop based on the Fast Trend line.
Settings Overview
Mode Selection: Toggle between Auto-Adaptive logic or Manual control.
Manual Configuration: Define the specific Timeframe, Length, and Type (EMA, SMA, WMA) for both Fast and Slow trends.
Signal Logic: Toggle "Show Pullback Signals" on/off. Switch between "First Breakout" or "All Signals."
Quality Filters: Toggle individual filters (ATR, RSI, ADX) to adjust sensitivity. Turning these off makes the script more responsive but increases false signals.
Visual Style: Customize colors for Bullish, Bearish, and Neutral (Gray) states. Adjust cloud transparency.

Momentum Structural AnalysisMomentum Structural Analysis (MSA‑style Oscillator)
This indicator implements a simple, MSA‑style momentum oscillator that measures how far price has moved above or below its own long‑term trend on the active timeframe, expressed in percentage terms. Instead of looking at raw price, it "oscillates" price around a timeframe‑appropriate simple moving average (SMA) and plots the percentage distance from that SMA as an orange line around a zero baseline. Zero means price is exactly at its structural trend; positive values mean price is extended above trend; negative values mean it is trading below trend.
The script automatically selects the SMA length based on the chart timeframe:
On daily charts it uses the configurable Daily SMA Length (default 252 trading days, roughly 1 year).
On weekly charts it uses Weekly SMA Length (default 208 weeks).
On monthly charts it uses Monthly SMA Length (default 120 months).
This approach is inspired by the ideas behind Momentum Structural Analysis (MSA), which studies where a market trades relative to long‑term moving averages and then treats the momentum line (the oscillator) as the primary object of analysis. The goal is to highlight structural overbought/oversold conditions and regime changes that are often clearer on momentum than on the raw price chart.
--------------------------------------------------
What the script computes and how it works
For each bar, the indicator:
Chooses an SMA length based on the current timeframe (daily/weekly/monthly).
Calculates the SMA of the close.
Computes the percentage distance:
\text{Diff %} = \frac{\text{Close} - \text{SMA}}{\text{SMA}} \times 100
Plots this Diff % as an orange line, with a dashed horizontal zero line as the base.
This produces a momentum oscillator that oscillates around zero and reflects the "structural" position of price versus its own long‑term mean.
--------------------------------------------------
How to use it on index charts (e.g., NIFTY50)
On indices like NIFTY50, use the indicator to see how stretched the index is versus its structural trend.
Typical uses:
Identify extremes: a). Historically high positive readings can signal euphoric, late‑stage conditions where risk is elevated. b). Deep negative readings can highlight panic/capitulation zones where downside may be exhausted.
Draw structural levels: a). Mark horizontal bands on the oscillator where past turns have occurred (e.g., +15%, −10%, etc. specific to NIFTY50). b). Watch how price behaves when the oscillator revisits these zones: repeated rejections can validate them as structural bounds; clean breaks can indicate a change of regime.
This is not a buy/sell signal generator by itself; it is a framework to understand where the index sits within its long‑term momentum structure and to support risk‑management decisions.
--------------------------------------------------
How to use it on ratio charts
Apply the same indicator to ratio symbols such as NIFTY50/GOLD, BANKNIFTY/NIFTY50, sector vs index, or any spread you plot as a ratio.
On a ratio chart:
The oscillator now measures relative momentum: how far that ratio is above or below its own long‑term mean.
High positive readings = strong outperformance of the numerator vs the denominator (e.g., equities strongly outperforming gold).
Deep negative readings = strong underperformance (e.g., equities structurally lagging gold).
This is very much in the spirit of MSA’s work on spreads between asset classes: it helps visualize major rotations (equities → gold, financials → commodities, etc.) and whether a relative‑performance trend is stretched, reverting, or breaking into a new phase.
--------------------------------------------------
Using multiple timeframes for better decisions
You can stack information across timeframes to get a more robust view:
Monthly : a). Use monthly charts to see secular/structural phases. b). Long multi‑year stretches above or below zero, and large bases or trendline breaks on the monthly oscillator, can mark major bull or bear cycles and big rotations between asset classes.
Weekly : a). Use weekly charts for the primary trend. b). Weekly structures (multi‑month highs/lows, channels, or trendlines on the oscillator) are useful for medium‑term positioning and for confirming or rejecting signals seen on the monthly view.
Daily : a). Use daily charts mainly for timing entries/exits once the higher‑timeframe direction is clear. b). Short‑term extremes on the daily oscillator that align with the larger weekly/monthly structure can offer better‑timed opportunities, while signals that contradict higher‑timeframe momentum are more likely to be noise.

Macros+AMD [NW]Macros + AMD - Daily & Weekly Time-Based Analysis
Multi-timeframe AMD (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution) visualization with ICT Macro timing windows for time-based market analysis.
Overview
This indicator visualizes the AMD (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution) framework on both daily and weekly timeframes, combined with ICT Macro timing windows. It is designed as an educational tool to help traders study time-based market structure and algorithmic price delivery concepts.
The AMD model is based on the idea that markets move through distinct phases within each trading period:
Accumulation (A) - Initial range formation, liquidity building
Manipulation (M) - False moves to trap traders, liquidity sweeps
Distribution (D) - True directional move, price delivery to targets
What This Indicator Displays
Daily AMD Phases
Displays the intraday AMD cycle based on New York trading hours:
A Phase (Blue): 4:00 AM - 8:35 AM EST — Morning accumulation, Asian/London overlap
M Phase (Red): 8:35 AM - 11:25 AM EST — NY session manipulation, news events
D Phase (Green): 11:25 AM - 4:00 PM EST — Afternoon distribution and price delivery
Weekly AMD Phases
Displays the weekly AMD cycle from Monday to Monday:
A Phase: Monday 00:00 - Tuesday 21:56 EST — Weekly high/low formation begins
M Phase: Tuesday 21:56 - Thursday 02:04 EST — Mid-week reversal zone
D Phase: Thursday 02:04 - Monday 00:00 EST — Weekly price delivery
Inner M Phase Fibs
When enabled, subdivides the M (Manipulation) phase using Fibonacci levels:
0.382 level — Inner accumulation ends
0.500 level — Mid-point of manipulation
0.618 level — Inner distribution begins
This helps identify potential reversal points within the manipulation phase.
ICT Macro Windows
Horizontal lines marking the XX:42 to XX:15 macro periods (33-minute windows):
2:42 - 3:15 AM
3:42 - 4:15 AM (London)
7:42 - 8:15 AM
8:42 - 9:15 AM
9:42 - 10:15 AM (Prime AM session)
10:42 - 11:15 AM
11:42 - 12:15 PM
12:42 - 1:15 PM
1:42 - 2:15 PM
2:42 - 3:15 PM
These windows represent times when algorithmic price delivery is more likely to occur.
How To Use
Understanding the AMD Framework
During the A Phase:
Observe range formation and initial liquidity pools
Note the high and low established during this phase
Wait for manipulation before committing to direction
During the M Phase:
Watch for false breakouts and stop hunts
Look for reversal patterns after liquidity sweeps
The inner fibs (0.382, 0.5, 0.618) can help time entries within this phase
Mid-week (Wednesday) often sees key reversals on weekly AMD
During the D Phase:
This is typically when the true move occurs
Price tends to deliver toward draw on liquidity targets
The direction is often opposite to the manipulation move
Using the Macro Windows
The XX:42 to XX:15 windows are times to pay attention to price action:
These 33-minute periods often see increased algorithmic activity
Look for displacement, fair value gaps, or order blocks forming
The 9:42-10:15 AM window is considered particularly significant for NY session
Weekly Day Labels
Monday/Tuesday: "H/L of Week" — Watch for weekly high or low formation
Wednesday: "Reversal Day" — Mid-week reversal probability increases
Thursday/Friday: "Reversal Day" — Continuation or secondary reversal
Settings Guide
