We Are Witnessing A Historical Event With A Clear Outcome!!!"Full Disclosure: I came across this information from www.SentimenTrader.com
I have no financial affiliation…They provide incredible statistical facts on
The General Market, Currencies, and Futures. They offer a two week free trial.
I Highly Recommend.
The S&P 500 has gone 43 trading days without a 1% daily move, up or down.
which is the equivalent of two months and one day in trading days.
During this stretch, the S&P has gained more than 4%,
and it has notched a 52-week high recently as well.
Since 1952, there were nine other precedents. All of
these went 42 trading days without a 1% move, all of
them saw the S&P gain at least 4% during their streaks,
and all of them saw the S&P close at a 52-week highs.
***There was consistent weakness a week later, with only three
gainers, and all below +0.5%.
***After that, stocks did better, often continuing an Extraordinary move higher.
Charts can sometimes give us a better nuance than
numbers from a table, and from the charts we can see a
general pattern -
***if stocks held up well in the following
weeks, then they tended to do extremely well in the
months ahead.
***If stocks started to stumble after this two-
month period of calm, however, then the following months
tended to show a lot more volatility.
We already know we're seeing an exceptional market
environment at the moment, going against a large number
of precedents that argued for weakness here, instead of
the rally we've seen. If we continue to head higher in
spite of everything, these precedents would suggest that
we're in the midst of something that could be TRULY EXTRAORDINARY.

Trading Strategy based on BB/KC squeeze**** [Edit: New version (v02) posted, see the comments section for the code *****
Simple strategy. You only consider taking a squeeze play when both the upper and lower Bollinger Bands go inside the Keltner Channel. When the Bollinger Bands (BOTH lines) start to come out of the Keltner Channel, the squeeze has been released and a move is about to take place.
I have added more support indicators -- I highlight the bullish / bearish KC breaches (using GREEN/RED crosses) and a SAR to see where price action is trending.
Appreciate any feedback. Enjoy!
Color codes for v02:
----------------------------
When both the upper and lower Bollinger Bands go inside the Keltner Channel, the squeeze is on and is highlighted in RED.
When the Bollinger Bands (BOTH lines) start to come out of the Keltner Channel, the squeeze has been released and is highlighted in GREEN.
When one of the Bollinger Bands is out of Keltner Channel, no highlighting is done (this means, the background color shows up, so don't get confused if you have RED/GREEN in your chart's bground :))
Color codes for v01:
----------------------------
When both the upper and lower Bollinger Bands go inside the Keltner Channel, the squeeze is on and is highlighted in YELLOW.
When the Bollinger Bands (BOTH lines) start to come out of the Keltner Channel, the squeeze has been released and is highlighted in BLUE.
S.T. TREND INDICATORIt is TREND indicator. it has 8 supertrends which can be used for different higher time frame & with different atr & multiplier.which will give better idea of varius trend like long ,medium,short & immediate trend.it also has daily & weekly vwap. and two sma with adjustable length & timeframe. source used for calculation of supertrends is 1min HA candles.yyou can use it onnormal japnees candle also.
Dark Vector ScalpingThe Dark Vector Scalping indicator is a high-frequency trend-following system designed specifically to capture rapid momentum shifts in the market. It combines a staircase-style breakout logic with volatility-adjusted trailing stops to define market direction.
While the underlying math is robust enough for various asset classes, this specific configuration is optimized for scalping operations on 1-minute and 5-minute timeframes. It aims to filter out the "noise" common in lower timeframes while reacting quickly to genuine breakouts.
Core Components
1. The Apex Engine (Staircase Logic) Unlike traditional moving averages that curve with price, this engine uses a "hard" breakout logic. It looks back at a specific number of bars (Sensitivity) to find the highest highs and lowest lows.
Bullish Flip: Occurs when the price closes below the calculated low of the previous trend.
Bearish Flip: Occurs when the price closes above the calculated high of the previous trend.
Trailing Stop: Once a trend is established, a trailing stop line is drawn. This line only moves in the direction of the trend (up for bullish, down for bearish) and never retraces, acting as a ratchet to lock in paper profits.
2. Volatility Normalization To prevent getting stopped out by random market noise (scam wicks), the indicator calculates the Average True Range (ATR). It multiplies this volatility metric by a user-defined deviation factor to determine exactly how far the stop line should be from the current price action.
3. The Hull Moving Average (HMA) Filter The script includes an optional 50-period Hull Moving Average. The HMA is known for being extremely fast and smooth, reducing lag compared to standard moving averages.
Visual Reference: You can plot the line to see the overall macro trend.
Hard Filter: You can enable a "Safety Filter" in the settings. If enabled, the system will only generate Buy signals if the price is above the HMA, and Sell signals if the price is below the HMA.
4. The Dashboard A data panel is located on the chart (customizable position) to provide instant numerical data without needing to calculate levels manually. It displays the current trend state, the exact price of the trailing stop, and the status of the HMA filter.
Settings & Configuration
Sensitivity (Lookback)
Default: 5
This is the primary setting for the Apex Engine. A setting of 5 is the "sweet spot" for 1-minute and 5-minute charts. It allows the system to react very quickly to sudden volume spikes. Increasing this number (e.g., to 10) will make the signals slower and more conservative.
Stop Deviation
Default: 3.0
This controls the "breathing room" for the trade. A value of 3.0 allows for standard volatility on minute charts without triggering a premature exit. Lowering this to 2.0 will result in tighter stops but more false signals.
HMA Filter
Use HMA as Filter? (Default: OFF):
When OFF, the system signals purely on price action breakouts (fastest).
When ON, the system waits for the price to align with the 50-period HMA before signaling (safest, but may delay entry).
How to Interpret Visuals
Candle Colors
Teal/Green: The market is in a Bullish regime.
Red/Pink: The market is in a Bearish regime.
The Line
The solid stepped line represents the hard invalidation point. If price closes beyond this line, the trend is considered over.
Diamond Signals
Light Green Diamond (Below Bar): Confirmed Buy Signal. A new bullish trend has started.
Light Red/Pink Diamond (Above Bar): Confirmed Sell Signal. A new bearish trend has started.
Trading Strategy Guide
The Scalp Entry
Ensure you are on a 1-minute or 5-minute timeframe.
Wait for a signal Diamond to close. Do not enter while the bar is still forming, as the signal may repaint (disappear) if the price retraces before the close.
Long Entry: Enter when a Green Diamond appears and the candle turns Teal.
Short Entry: Enter when a Red Diamond appears and the candle turns Red.
Risk Management
Stop Loss: Your invalidation level is the "Apex Stop" line. You can place your hard stop loss slightly beyond this line.
Take Profit: Because this is a trend-following system, it is often best to hold until the candle color changes, or to take profit at fixed Risk:Reward ratios (e.g., 1:1.5 or 1:2).
The HMA Nuance If you find the market is "choppy" (moving sideways), enable the "Use HMA as Filter" option in the settings. This will force the system to ignore signals that are counter-trend to the longer-term momentum.

## 📋 WHY YM? LEVERAGING LOW VOLATILITY
### The YM Advantage
Most traders avoid YM because "it doesn't move enough." This is precisely why it's perfect for precision scalping:
| Factor | NQ | YM | Advantage |
|--------|----|----|-----------|
| **Daily Range** | 300-600 pts | 150-400 pts | More predictable moves |
| **Tick Value** | $5/tick (4 ticks/pt) | $5/tick (1 tick/pt) | Simpler math |
| **Retail Noise** | High | Low | Cleaner signals |
| **Whipsaws** | Frequent | Rare | Fewer fakeouts |
| **Trend Persistence** | Short | Long | Easier holds |
| **Fill Quality** | Variable | Consistent | Better execution |
### Why 3-7 Trades is the Sweet Spot
```
YM SESSION BREAKDOWN:
════════════════════
LONDON (3-5 AM ET): 1-2 trades
├── Why: European institutions positioning for US open
├── Character: Slow build-up, clean trends
└── Best signals: Zone entries + A/B tier
NY OPEN (9:30-11:30 AM ET): 2-3 trades
├── Why: Highest volume, most institutional activity
├── Character: Initial balance formation, breakouts
└── Best signals: S/A tier, zone confluence
POWER HOUR (3-4 PM ET): 1-2 trades
├── Why: End-of-day rebalancing, MOC orders
├── Character: Mean reversion or trend acceleration
└── Best signals: Zone entries, B tier quick scalps
TOTAL: 4-7 high-quality setups per day
```

## 🔧 YM-SPECIFIC OPTIMIZATIONS
This unified indicator has been specifically tuned for YM's characteristics:
### Tier Thresholds
| Tier | NQ (Original) | YM (Optimized) | Rationale |
|------|---------------|----------------|-----------|
| S-Tier | 100 pts | **50 pts** | YM's daily range is ~50% of NQ |
| A-Tier | 50 pts | **25 pts** | Proportional scaling |
| B-Tier | 20 pts | **12 pts** | Still 5%+ of typical daily range |
### Filter Adjustments
| Filter | NQ Value | YM Value | Why |
|--------|----------|----------|-----|
| Volume Ratio | 1.5x | **1.8x** | Higher bar = less retail noise |
| Delta Threshold | 60% | **62%** | Tighter for cleaner signals |
| Body Ratio | 70% | **72%** | More conviction required |
| Range Multiplier | 1.3x | **1.4x** | Bigger move = real signal |
| Gap ATR% | 30% | **25%** | Smaller gaps still significant |
| Zone Age | 50 bars | **75 bars** | Zones last longer in slow market |
### Why These Changes Work
1. **Higher Volume Bar**: YM has more institutional flow. Requiring 1.8x volume ensures we're catching real moves, not retail chop.
2. **Tighter Delta**: With less noise, we can demand clearer buyer/seller dominance before entering.
3. **Longer Zone Life**: YM trends persist longer. A zone that would be stale in NQ is still viable in YM.
4. **Smaller Gap Threshold**: YM gaps are naturally smaller. 25% of ATR in YM is significant institutional activity.

## 📐 SIGNAL TYPES EXPLAINED
### 1. GRA Tier Signals (S🎯, A🎯, B🎯)
These are the primary signals from the merged GRA system:
```
TIER SIGNAL REQUIREMENTS:
═══════════════════════════
ALL must be TRUE:
├── ✓ Point movement meets tier threshold
├── ✓ Volume ≥ 1.8x average
├── ✓ Delta ≥ 62% (buy or sell dominance)
├── ✓ Body ≥ 72% of candle range
├── ✓ Range ≥ 1.4x average
├── ✓ Small opposite wick (<50% of body)
├── ✓ CVD confirms direction (if enabled)
├── ✓ Active session (LDN/NY/PWR)
└── ✓ Confluence Score ≥ minimum (default 5)
```
### 2. Zone Entry Signals (Z🎯)
When price enters a DeepFlow zone with confirmation:
```
ZONE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS:
═══════════════════════════
ALL must be TRUE:
├── ✓ Price inside fresh/tested zone (not broken)
├── ✓ Delta ≥ 62% in zone direction
├── ✓ Volume ≥ 1.5x average
└── ✓ Active session
NOTE: Z🎯 only appears when NOT already showing tier signal
(prevents duplicate signals on same candle)
```
### 3. Single Print Markers (SP)
Mark institutional impulse candles for future S/R:
```
SINGLE PRINT REQUIREMENTS:
═══════════════════════════
ALL must be TRUE:
├── ✓ Range ≥ 1.6x average
├── ✓ Body ≥ 72% of range
├── ✓ Volume ≥ 1.8x average
├── ✓ Delta ≥ 62% confirms direction
└── ✓ Active session
USE: Horizontal lines at high/low act as future S/R
```
---
## 🎯 TRADING STRATEGIES
### Strategy 1: Zone + Tier Confluence (Highest Probability)
```
THE ULTIMATE YM SETUP:
═══════════════════════
Setup:
1. Active DeepFlow zone exists (green box below for long)
2. Price pulls back INTO the zone
3. Tier signal fires INSIDE the zone (S🎯/A🎯)
4. Score shows 7+/10
Entry: Signal candle close
Stop: Below zone bottom (for longs)
Target: Based on tier (1.5-2.5:1 R:R)
Why It Works:
• Zone = institutional limit orders
• Tier signal = momentum confirmation
• Double confirmation = high probability
Expected Win Rate: 70-75%
```
### Strategy 2: Pure Tier Signal with POC Stop
```
SNIPER TIER TRADE:
══════════════════
Setup:
1. Tier signal appears (preferably A or S)
2. Score ≥ 5/10
3. Note POC level on signal candle
4. Red/green stop/target lines appear
Entry: Signal candle close
Stop: Beyond POC (shown on chart)
Target: Auto-calculated based on tier
Key: POC placement matters
• POC near candle bottom (longs) = STRONG
• POC in middle = weaker signal
• POC at extreme = possible exhaustion
Expected Win Rate: 60-65%
```
### Strategy 3: Zone Bounce (Continuation)
```
ZONE BOUNCE TRADE:
══════════════════
Setup:
1. Fresh zone created during session
2. Price leaves zone, moves in zone direction
3. Price returns to test zone (within 15 bars)
4. Z🎯 signal appears or rejection candle forms
Entry: At CE line (middle of zone)
Stop: Beyond zone edge
Target: Previous swing high/low
Why It Works:
• Zones represent unfilled orders
• First retest often finds support/resistance
• Lower volatility = cleaner bounces
Expected Win Rate: 55-60%
```
### Strategy 4: Single Print Scalp
```
SINGLE PRINT SCALP:
═══════════════════
Setup:
1. Single Print (SP) marker appears
2. Note the gold/purple lines at high/low
3. Wait for price to return to SP level
4. Look for rejection or tier signal at level
Entry: At SP line with confirmation
Stop: Beyond the SP line
Target: Quick 1:1 or to next structure
Why It Works:
• SP = price moved too fast, orders unfilled
• Price often returns to "fill" these levels
• YM's slower pace makes retests likely
Expected Win Rate: 55-60%
```

Volume Pressure OscillatorThe Volume Pressure Oscillator (VPO) is a momentum-based indicator that measures the directional pressure of cumulative volume delta (CVD) combined with price efficiency. It oscillates between 0 and 100, with readings above 50 indicating net buying pressure and readings below 50 indicating net selling pressure.
The indicator is designed to identify the strength and sustainability of volume-driven trends while remaining responsive during consolidation periods.
How the Indicator Works
The VPO analyzes volume flow by examining price action at lower timeframes to build a Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD). For each chart bar, the indicator looks at intrabar price movements to classify volume as either buying volume or selling volume. These classifications are accumulated into a running total that tracks net directional volume.
The indicator then measures the momentum of this CVD over both short-term and longer-term periods, providing responsiveness to recent changes while maintaining awareness of the broader trend. These momentum readings are normalized using percentile ranking, which creates a stable 0-100 scale that works consistently across different instruments and market conditions.
A key feature is the extreme zone persistence mechanism. When the indicator enters extreme zones (above 80 or below 20), it maintains elevated readings as long as volume pressure continues in the same direction. This allows the VPO to stay in extreme zones during strong trends rather than quickly reverting to neutral, making it useful for identifying sustained volume pressure rather than just temporary spikes.
What Makes This Indicator Different
While many indicators measure volume or volume delta, the VPO specifically measures how aggressively CVD is currently changing and whether that pressure is being sustained. It's the difference between knowing "more volume has accumulated on the buy side" versus "buying pressure is intensifying right now and shows signs of continuation."
1. Focus on CVD Momentum, Not CVD Levels
Most CVD indicators display the cumulative volume delta as a line that trends up or down indefinitely. The VPO is fundamentally different - it measures the slope of CVD rather than the absolute level. This transforms CVD from an unbounded cumulative metric into a bounded 0-100 oscillator that shows the intensity and direction of current volume pressure, not just the historical accumulation.
2. Designed to Stay in Extremes During Trends
Unlike traditional oscillators that treat extreme readings (above 80 or below 20) as overbought/oversold reversal signals, the VPO is engineered to oscillate within extreme zones during strong trends. When sustained buying or selling pressure exists, the indicator remains elevated (e.g., 80-95 or 5-20) rather than quickly reverting to neutral. This makes it useful for trend continuation identification rather than exclusively for reversal trading.
3. Percentile-Based Normalization
The VPO uses percentile ranking over a lookback window, which provides consistent behavior across different instruments, timeframes, and volatility regimes without constant recalibration.
4. Dual-Timeframe Momentum Synthesis
The indicator simultaneously considers short-term CVD momentum (responsive to recent changes) and longer-term CVD momentum (tracking trend direction), weighted and combined with a slow-moving trend bias. This multi-timeframe approach helps it stay responsive in ranging markets while maintaining context during trends.
How to Use the Indicator
Understanding the Zones:
80-100 (Strong Buying Pressure): CVD momentum is strongly positive. In trending markets, the indicator oscillates within this zone rather than immediately reverting to neutral. This suggests sustained accumulation and trend continuation probability.
60-80 (Moderate Buying): Positive volume pressure but not extreme. Suitable for identifying pullback entry opportunities within uptrends.
40-60 (Neutral Zone): Volume pressure is balanced or unclear. No strong directional edge from volume. Often seen during consolidation or trend transitions.
20-40 (Moderate Selling): Negative volume pressure developing. May indicate distribution or downtrend continuation setups.
0-20 (Strong Selling Pressure): CVD momentum is strongly negative. During downtrends, sustained readings in this zone suggest continued distribution and downside follow-through probability.
Practical Applications:
Trend Confirmation: When price makes new highs/lows, check if VPO confirms with similarly elevated readings. Divergences (price making new highs while VPO fails to reach prior highs) may indicate weakening momentum.
Range Trading: During consolidation, the VPO typically oscillates between 30-70. Readings toward the low end of the range (30-40) may present accumulation opportunities, while readings at the high end (60-70) may indicate distribution zones.
Extreme Persistence: If VPO reaches 90+ or drops below 10, this indicates exceptional volume pressure. Rather than fading these extremes immediately, monitor whether the indicator stays elevated. Sustained extreme readings suggest strong trend continuation potential.
Context with Price Action: The VPO is most effective when combined with price action or other orderflow indicators. Use the indicator to gauge whether volume is confirming or contradicting.
What the Indicator Does NOT Do:
It does not provide specific entry or exit signals
It does not predict future price direction
It does not guarantee profitable trades
It should not be used as a standalone trading system
Settings Explanation
Momentum Period (Default: 14)
This parameter controls the lookback period for CVD rate-of-change calculations.
Lower values (5-10): Make the indicator more responsive to recent volume changes. Useful for shorter-term trading and more active oscillation. May produce more whipsaws in choppy markets.
Default value (14): Provides balanced responsiveness while filtering out most noise. Suitable for swing trading and daily timeframe analysis.
Higher values (20-50): Create smoother readings and focus on longer-term volume trends. Better for position trading and reducing false signals, but with slower reaction to genuine changes in volume pressure.
Important Notes:
This indicator requires intrabar data to function properly. On some instruments or timeframes where lower timeframe data is not available, the indicator may not display.
The indicator uses request.security_lower_tf() which has a limit of intrabars. On higher timeframes, this provides extensive history, but on very low timeframes (<1-minute charts), the indicator may only cover limited historical bars.
Volume data quality varies by exchange and instrument. The indicator's effectiveness depends on accurate volume reporting from the data feed.
Volume Momentum Strategy [MA/VWAP Cross]Deconstructing the Volume Momentum Strategy: An Analysis of MA-VWAP Cross Mechanics
Introduction
The "Volume Momentum Strategy " is a technical trading algorithm programmed in Pine Script v6 for the TradingView platform. At its core, the strategy is a trend-following system that utilizes the interaction between a specific Moving Average (MA) and the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) to generate trade signals. While the primary execution logic relies on price crossovers, the strategy incorporates a sophisticated secondary layer of analysis using the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) and Stochastic Oscillator. Uniquely, these secondary indicators are applied to volume data rather than price, serving as a gauge for market participation and momentum intensity.
The Core Engine: MA and VWAP Crossover
The primary engine driving the strategy's buy and sell decisions is the crossover relationship between a user-defined Moving Average and the VWAP.
1. The Anchor (VWAP): The strategy calculates the Volume Weighted Average Price based on the HLC3 (High, Low, Close divided by 3) source. VWAP serves as the dynamic benchmark for "fair value" throughout the trading session.
2. The Trigger (Moving Average): The script allows for flexibility in defining the "fast" line, offering options such as Simple (SMA), Exponential (EMA), or Hull Moving Averages.
3. The Signal:
o A Long (Buy) signal is generated when the chosen MA crosses over the VWAP. This suggests that short-term price momentum is exceeding the average volume-weighted price of the session, indicating bullish sentiment.
o A Short (Sell) signal is generated when the MA crosses under the VWAP, indicating bearish pressure where price is being pushed below the session's volume-weighted average.
The Role of CCI and Stochastic: Analyzing Volume Momentum
The prompt specifically inquires about how the CCI and Stochastic indicators fit into this process. In standard technical analysis, these oscillators are used to identify overbought or oversold price conditions. However, this strategy repurposes them to analyze Volume Momentum.
1. The Calculation
Instead of using close prices as the input source, the script passes volume data into both indicator functions:
• Volume CCI: Calculated as ta.cci(volume, cciLength). This measures the deviation of current volume from its statistical average.
• Volume Stochastic: Calculated as ta.stoch(volume, volume, volume, stochLength). This gauges the current volume relative to its recent range.
2. The "Volume Spike" Condition
The strategy combines these two indicators to define a specific market condition labeled isVolumeSpike. A volume spike is confirmed only when both conditions are met simultaneously:
• The Volume CCI must be greater than a defined threshold (default: 100).
• The Volume Stochastic must be greater than a defined threshold (default: 80).
3. Integration into the Process
It is critical to note how this script currently applies this "Volume Spike" logic:
• Visual Confirmation: In the current version of the code, the isVolumeSpike boolean is used strictly for visual feedback. When a spike is detected, the script paints the specific price bar yellow and plots a small triangle marker below the bar.
• Strategic Implication: While the code calculates these metrics, the variables long_condition and short_condition currently rely solely on the MA/VWAP crossover. The developer has left the volume logic as a visual overlay, noting in the comments that it serves as a "visual/alert" or a potential filter.
• Potential Alpha: Conceptually, this setup implies that a trader should look for the MA/VWAP crossover to occur coincidentally with—or shortly after—a "Volume Spike" (yellow bar). This would confirm that the price move is backed by significant institutional participation (volume) rather than just retail noise.
Risk Management and Time Constraints
The strategy wraps these technical signals in a robust risk management framework. It includes hard-coded time windows (start/stop trading times) and a "Close All" function to prevent holding positions overnight. Furthermore, it employs both percentage-based and dollar-based Stop Loss and Take Profit mechanisms, ensuring that every entry—whether generated by a high-momentum crossover or a standard trend move—has a predefined exit plan.
Conclusion
The "Volume Momentum Strategy" is a hybrid system. It executes trades based on the reliable trend signal of MA crossing VWAP but informs the trader with advanced volume analytics. By processing volume through the CCI and Stochastic calculations, it provides a "heads-up" display regarding the intensity of market participation, allowing the trader to distinguish between low-volume drifts and high-volume breakout moves.
Market Regime Flip (Dunk)This indicator is a trend regime flip tool built on top of MACD. Instead of reacting to every little wiggle, it waits for several bars in a row where the MACD stays either above or below zero (by default, 3 consecutive bars). When the MACD has been above zero for 3 bars, it declares a bull regime and marks that bar on the price chart with a green “BULL” triangle above the candle. When the MACD has been below zero for 3 bars, it declares a bear regime and marks that bar with a red “BEAR” triangle below the candle. It also lightly colors the chart background green in bull regimes and red in bear regimes, so you can see at a glance which side of the market you’re in.
In other words, it turns the MACD’s usual “above/below zero” behavior into a clean, slower-changing on/off regime switch. Instead of giving you constant signals, it focuses on the moments where momentum truly shifts and sticks around for a few bars, helping you avoid getting faked out by single-bar noise. The alerts are wired to those flip moments, so you can get notified when the market transitions from bearish to bullish (or vice versa) according to this MACD-based regime logic.
Bitcoin Power Law Zones (Dunk)Introduction When viewed on a standard linear chart, Bitcoin’s long-term price action can appear chaotic and exponential. However, when analyzed through the lens of physics and network growth models, a distinct structure emerges.
This indicator implements the Bitcoin Power Law , a mathematical model that suggests Bitcoin’s price evolves in a straight line when plotted against time on a "log-log" scale. By calculating parallel bands around this regression line, we create a "Rainbow" of valuation zones that help investors visualize whether the asset is historically overheated, undervalued, or sitting at fair value.
The Math Behind the Model The Power Law dictates that price scales with time according to the formula: Price = A * (days since genesis)^b
This script uses the specific parameters popularized by recent physics-based analyses of the network: Slope (b): 5.78 (Representing the scaling law of the network adoption). Amplitude (A): 1.45 x 10^-17 (The intercept coefficient).
While simple moving averages react to price, this model is predictive based on time and network growth physics, providing a long-term "gravity" center for the asset.
Guide to the Valuation Zones
Upper Bands (Red/Orange): Extr. Overvalued, High Premium, Overvalued. Historically, these zones have marked cycle peaks where price moved too far, too fast ahead of the network's steady growth. The Baseline (Black Line): Fair Value. The mathematical mean of the Power Law. Price has historically oscillated around this line, treating it as a center of gravity. Lower Bands (Green/Blue): Undervalued, Discount, Deep Discount. These zones represent periods where the market price has historically lagged behind the network's intrinsic value, often marking accumulation phases.
Note: The lowest theoretical tiers ("Bitcoin Dead") have been trimmed from this chart to focus on relevant historical support levels.
How to Use Logarithmic Scale: You MUST set your chart to "Log" scale (bottom right of the TradingView window) for this indicator to function correctly. On a linear chart, the bands will appear to curve upwards aggressively; on a Log chart, they will appear as smooth, parallel channels. Timeframe: This is a macro-economic indicator. It is best viewed on Daily or Weekly timeframes. Overlay Labels: The indicator includes dynamic labels on the right-side axis, allowing you to instantly see the current price requirements for each valuation zone without manually tracing lines.
Credits This script is based on the Power Law theory popularized by Giovanni Santostasi and the original Corridor concepts by Harold Christopher Burger .

Superior-Range Bound Renko - Strategy - 11-29-25 - SignalLynxSuperior-Range Bound Renko Strategy with Advanced Risk Management Template
Signal Lynx | Free Scripts supporting Automation for the Night-Shift Nation 🌙
1. Overview
Welcome to Superior-Range Bound Renko (RBR) — a volatility-aware, structure-respecting swing-trading system built on top of a full Risk Management (RM) Template from Signal Lynx.
Instead of relying on static lookbacks (like “14-period RSI”) or plain MA crosses, Superior RBR:
Adapts its range definition to market volatility in real time
Emulates Renko Bricks on a standard, time-based chart (no Renko chart type required)
Uses a stack of Laguerre Filters to detect genuine impulse vs. noise
Adds an Adaptive SuperTrend powered by a small k-means-style clustering routine on volatility
Under the hood, this script also includes the full Signal Lynx Risk Management Engine:
A state machine that separates “Signal” from “Execution”
Layered exit tools: Stop Loss, Trailing Stop, Staged Take Profit, Advanced Adaptive Trailing Stop (AATS), and an RSI-style stop (RSIS)
Designed for non-repainting behavior on closed candles by basing execution-critical logic on previous-bar data
We are publishing this as an open-source template so traders and developers can leverage a professional-grade RM engine while integrating their own signal logic if they wish.
2. Quick Action Guide (TL;DR)
Best Timeframe:
4 Hours (H4) and above. This is a high-conviction swing-trading system, not a scalper.
Best Assets:
Volatile instruments that still respect market structure:
Bitcoin, Ethereum, Gold (XAUUSD), high-volatility Forex pairs (e.g., GBPJPY), indices with clean ranges.
Strategy Type:
Volatility-Adaptive Trend Following + Impulse Detection.
It hunts for genuine expansion out of ranges, not tiny mean-reversion nibbles.
Key Feature:
Renko Emulation on time-based candles.
We mathematically model Renko Bricks and overlay them on your standard chart to define:
“Equilibrium” zones (inside the brick structure)
“Breakout / impulse” zones (when price AND the impulse line depart from the bricks)
Repainting:
Designed to be non-repainting on closed candles.
All RM execution logic uses confirmed historical data (no future bars, no security() lookahead). Intrabar flicker during formation is allowed, but once a bar closes the engine’s decisions are stable.
Core Toggles & Filters:
Enable Longs and Shorts independently
Optional Weekend filter (block trades on Saturday/Sunday)
Per-module toggles: Stop Loss, Trailing Stop, Staged Take Profits, AATS, RSIS
3. Detailed Report: How It Works
A. The Strategy Logic: Superior RBR
Superior RBR builds its entry signal from multiple mathematical layers working together.
1) Adaptive Lookback (Volatility Normalization)
Instead of a fixed 100-bar or 200-bar range, the script:
Computes ATR-based volatility over a user-defined period.
Normalizes that volatility relative to its recent min/max.
Maps the normalized value into a dynamic lookback window between a minimum and maximum (e.g., 4 to 100 bars).
High Volatility:
The lookback shrinks, so the system reacts faster to explosive moves.
Low Volatility:
The lookback expands, so the system sees a “bigger picture” and filters out chop.
All the core “Range High/Low” and “Range Close High/Low” boundaries are built on top of this adaptive window.
2) Range Construction & Quick Ranges
The engine constructs several nested ranges:
Outer Range:
rangeHighFinal – dynamic highest high
rangeLowFinal – dynamic lowest low
Inner Close Range:
rangeCloseHighFinal – highest close
rangeCloseLowFinal – lowest close
Quick Ranges:
“Half-length” variants of those, used to detect more responsive changes in structure and volatility.
These ranges define:
The macro box price is trading inside
Shorter-term “pressure zones” where price is coiling before expansion
3) Renko Emulation (The Bricks)
Rather than using the Renko chart type (which discards time), this script emulates Renko behavior on your normal candles:
A “brick size” is defined either:
As a standard percentage move, or
As a volatility-driven (ATR) brick, optionally inhibited by a minimum standard size
The engine tracks a base value and derives:
brickUpper – top of the emulated brick
brickLower – bottom of the emulated brick
When price moves sufficiently beyond those levels, the brick “shifts”, and the directional memory (renkoDir) updates:
renkoDir = +2 when bricks are advancing upward
renkoDir = -2 when bricks are stepping downward
You can think of this as a synthetic Renko tape overlaid on time-based candles:
Inside the brick: equilibrium / consolidation
Breaking away from the brick: momentum / expansion
4) Impulse Tracking with Laguerre Filters
The script uses multiple Laguerre Filters to smooth price and brick-derived data without traditional lag.
Key filters include:
LagF_1 / LagF_W: Based on brick upper/lower baselines
LagF_Q: Based on HLCC4 (high + low + 2×close)/4
LagF_Y / LagF_P: Complex averages combining brick structures and range averages
LagF_V (Primary Impulse Line):
A smooth, high-level impulse line derived from a blend of the above plus the outer ranges
Conceptually:
When the impulse line pushes away from the brick structure and continues in one direction, an impulse move is underway.
When its direction flips and begins to roll over, the impulse is fading, hinting at mean reversion back into the range.
5) Fib-Based Structure & Swaps
The system also layers in Fib levels derived from the adaptive ranges:
Standard levels (12%, 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61%, 76.8%, 88%) from the main range
A secondary “swap” set derived from close-range dynamics (fib12Swap, fib23Swap, etc.)
These Fibs are used to:
Bucket price into structural zones (below 12, between 23–38, etc.)
Detect breakouts when price and Laguerre move beyond key Fib thresholds
Drive zSwap logic (where a secondary Fib set becomes the active structure once certain conditions are met)
6) Adaptive SuperTrend with K-Means-Style Volatility Clustering
Under the hood, the script uses a small k-means-style clustering routine on ATR:
ATR is measured over a fixed period
The range of ATR values is split into Low, Medium, High volatility centroids
Current ATR is assigned to the nearest centroid (cluster)
From that, a SuperTrend variant (STK) is computed with dynamic sensitivity:
In quiet markets, SuperTrend can afford to be tighter
In wild markets, it widens appropriately to avoid constant whipsaw
This SuperTrend-based oscillator (LagF_K and its signals) is then combined with the brick and Laguerre stack to confirm valid trend regimes.
7) Final Baseline Signals (+2 / -2)
The “brain” of Superior RBR lives in the Baseline & Signal Generation block:
Two composite signals are built: B1 and B2:
They combine:
Fib breakouts
Renko direction (renkoDir)
Expansion direction (expansionQuickDir)
Multiple Laguerre alignments (LagF_Q, LagF_W, LagF_Y, LagF_Z, LagF_P, LagF_V)
They also factor in whether Fib structures are expanding or contracting.
A user toggle selects the “Baseline” signal:
finalSig = B2 (default) or B1 (alternate baseline)
finalSig is then filtered through the RM state machine and only when everything aligns, we emit:
+2 = Long / Buy signal
-2 = Short / Sell signal
0 = No new trade
Those +2 / -2 values are what feed the Risk Management Engine.
B. The Risk Management (RM) Engine
This script features the Signal Lynx Risk Management Engine, a proprietary state machine built to separate Signal from Execution.
Instead of firing orders directly on indicator conditions, we:
Convert the raw signal into a clean integer (Fin = +2 / -2 / 0)
Feed it into a Trade State Machine that understands:
Are we flat?
Are we in a long or short?
Are we in a closing sequence?
Should we permit re-entry now or wait?
Logic Injection / Template Concept:
The RM engine expects a simple integer:
+2 → Buy
-2 → Sell
Everything else (0) is “no new trade”
This makes the script a template:
You can remove the Superior RBR block
Drop in your own logic (RSI, MACD, price action, etc.)
As long as you output +2 or -2 into the same signal channel, the RM engine can drive all exits and state transitions.
Aggressive vs Conservative Modes:
The input AgressiveRM (Aggressive RM) governs how we interpret signals:
Conservative Mode (Aggressive RM = false):
Uses a more filtered internal signal (AF) to open trades
Effectively waits for a clean trend flip / confirmation before new entries
Minimizes whipsaw at the cost of fewer trades
Aggressive Mode (Aggressive RM = true):
Reacts directly to the fresh alert (AO) pulses
Allows faster re-entries in the same direction after RM-based exits
Still respects your pyramiding setting; this script ships with pyramiding = 0 by default, so it will not stack multiple positions unless you change that parameter in the strategy() call.
The state machine enforces discipline on top of your signal logic, reducing double-fires and signal spam.
C. Advanced Exit Protocols (Layered Defense)
The exit side is where this template really shines. Instead of a single “take profit or stop loss,” it uses multiple, cooperating layers.
1) Hard Stop Loss
A classic percentage-based Stop Loss (SL) relative to the entry price.
Acts as a final “catastrophic protection” layer for unexpected moves.
2) Standard Trailing Stop
A percentage-based Trailing Stop (TS) that:
Activates only after price has moved a certain percentage in your favor (tsActivation)
Then trails price by a configurable percentage (ts)
This is a straightforward, battle-tested trailing mechanism.
3) Staged Take Profits (Three Levels)
The script supports three staged Take Profit levels (TP1, TP2, TP3):
Each stage has:
Activation percentage (how far price must move in your favor)
Trailing amount for that stage
Position percentage to close
Example setup:
TP1:
Activate at +10%
Trailing 5%
Close 10% of the position
TP2:
Activate at +20%
Trailing 10%
Close another 10%
TP3:
Activate at +30%
Trailing 5%
Close the remaining 80% (“runner”)
You can tailor these quantities for partial scaling out vs. letting a core position ride.
4) Advanced Adaptive Trailing Stop (AATS)
AATS is a sophisticated volatility- and structure-aware stop:
Uses Hirashima Sugita style levels (HSRS) to model “floors” and “ceilings” of price:
Dungeon → Lower floors → Mid → Upper floors → Penthouse
These levels classify where current price sits within a long-term distribution.
Combines HSRS with Bollinger-style envelopes and EMAs to determine:
Is price extended far into the upper structure?
Is it compressed near the lower ranges?
From this, it computes an adaptive factor that controls how tight or loose the trailing level (aATS / bATS) should be:
High Volatility / Penthouse areas:
Stop loosens to avoid getting wicked out by inevitable spikes.
Low Volatility / compressed structure:
Stop tightens to lock in and protect profit.
AATS is designed to be the “smart last line” that responds to context instead of a single fixed percentage.
5) RSI-Style Stop (RSIS)
On top of AATS, the script includes a RSI-like regime filter:
A McGinley Dynamic mean of price plus ATR bands creates a dynamic channel.
Crosses above the top band and below the lower band change a directional state.
When enabled (UseRSIS):
RSIS can confirm or veto AATS closes:
For longs: A shift to bearish RSIS can force exits sooner.
For shorts: A shift to bullish RSIS can do the same.
This extra layer helps avoid over-reactive stops in strong trends while still respecting a regime change when it happens.
D. Repainting Protection
Many strategies look incredible in the Strategy Tester but fail in live trading because they rely on intrabar values or future-knowledge functions.
This template is built with closed-candle realism in mind:
The Risk Management logic explicitly uses previous bar data (open , high , low , close ) for the key decisions on:
Trailing stop updates
TP triggers
SL hits
RM state transitions
No security() lookahead or future-bar access is used.
This means:
Backtest behavior is designed to match what you can actually get with TradingView alerts and live automation.
Signals may “flicker” intrabar while the candle is forming (as with any strategy), but on closed candles, the RM decisions are stable and non-repainting.
4. For Developers & Modders
We strongly encourage you to mod this script.
To plug your own strategy into the RM engine:
Look for the section titled:
// BASELINE & SIGNAL GENERATION
You will see composite logic building B1 and B2, and then selecting:
baseSig = B2
altSig = B1
finalSig = sigSwap ? baseSig : altSig
You can replace the content used to generate baseSig / altSig with your own logic, for example:
RSI crosses
MACD histogram flips
Candle pattern detectors
External condition flags
Requirements are simple:
Your final logic must output:
2 → Buy signal
-2 → Sell signal
0 → No new trade
That output flows into the RM engine via finalSig → AlertOpen → state machine → Fin.
Once you wire your signals into finalSig, the entire Risk Management system (Stops, TPs, AATS, RSIS, re-entry logic, weekend filters, long/short toggles) becomes available for your custom strategy without re-inventing the wheel.
This makes Superior RBR not just a strategy, but a reference architecture for serious Pine dev work.

Support & Resistance Pro by 🅰🅻🅿Support & Resistance Pro by 🅰🅻🅿
A Multi-Layer Market Structure Engine for Professional Price Analysis
Support & Resistance Pro is a next-generation price structure algorithm designed to identify the most meaningful support and resistance levels across any market or timeframe.
Instead of relying on simple fractals, random pivots, or fixed-distance lines, this script analyzes the way price interacts with historical levels — including wick reactions, close rejections, structural pivots, retests, and liquidity sweeps.
The result is a clean, intelligent, and highly accurate market structure map that adapts to every style of trading.
🚀 Key Features
1. Multi-Layer S/R Engine (Up to 20 Dynamic Levels)
The algorithm computes and ranks up to 20 unique levels , from strongest to weakest.
Each level is scored using:
Structural pivot strength
Number of historical touches
Closeness of each interaction
Market memory & reaction weight
Breakout and retest behavior
This produces an objective hierarchy of price levels — ideal for scalping, day trading, or swing analysis.
2. Smart Strength Filter
To remove noise, the Smart Strength Filter evaluates how often price has interacted with each level and hides the ones that lack significance.
You can customize:
Lookback range
Minimum touch count
Touch tolerance sensitivity
This ensures your chart displays only the most relevant and reliable structural zones for the current environment.
3. Heat Map Intensity Coloring
Levels automatically change opacity based on their strength:
More touches → stronger color
Fewer touches → lighter color
This creates a natural visual heat map that highlights where market memory is strongest — perfect for identifying high-probability breakout or reversal zones.
4. Multi-Timeframe Compatibility
Project higher timeframe S/R onto lower timeframe charts to enhance confluence:
Day traders: render 4H levels on 5m–15m
Swing traders: render 1D levels on 1H
Scalpers: render 1H levels on 1m–3m
This gives you powerful structural awareness without switching charts.
5. Clean Visual Design

Bollinger Bands with ATR SL Hariss 369Bollinger Bands are a popular technical analysis tool developed by John Bollinger. They consist of three lines plotted on a price chart:
Middle Band – a simple moving average (usually 20 periods).
Upper Band – the middle band plus two standard deviations.
Lower Band – the middle band minus two standard deviations.
Key Features:
Volatility Indicator: The bands expand when volatility increases and contract when volatility decreases.
Trend Analysis: Prices near the upper band indicate overbought conditions, while prices near the lower band indicate oversold conditions.
Trading Signals: Traders often look for price touches, breaks, or rebounds from the bands to identify potential entries or exits.
To strengthen the trend quality RVOL has been considered. The ideal value of RVOL is 1.5
Higher Time Frame Trend filter gives trend clarity in higher time frame. One can select RVOL and HTF (Higher Time Frame) filter.
Bollinger bands indicator is basically a trend following indicator. We should go with the trend rather book profit @1:1 or 1:2 basis. In that case we might miss the long trend. The middle band is generally considered as stop loss. However, ATR based stop loss has been designed in the script in order to capture the volatility in decent way.
Break out signal is initiated on break out with volume taking higher time frame into consideration.
One can use this indicator in any time frame and any class of asset. To filter higher time frame eg. entry / exit 5 min chart, 15m/1h can be taken as higher time frame, for 1h entry/ exit, 4h can be taken as higher time frame trend filter.
2-Close + Bar 5 Reversal (Scan Ready)Bulkowski's Bullish 2-Step Reversal
Bar 1 Any price bar.
Bar 2 Price makes a low below bar 1 with a lower close, too.
Bar 3 Price has a low below bar 2 but a close above bar 1 (which will also be above bar 2's close). Bars 1 to 3 form a 2-close reversal pattern.
Bar 4 Makes a close below bar 3's close.
Bar 5 Has a low below bar 4 but closes above bars 3 and 4.
Breakout Breaks out upward 79% of the time in stocks.

Minervini VCP Pattern -Indian ContextThis script implements Mark Minervini's Trend Template and VCP (Volatility Contraction Pattern) pattern, specifically adapted for Indian stock markets (NSE). It helps identify stocks that are in strong uptrends and ready to break out.
Core Concepts Explained
1. What is the Minervini Trend Template?
Mark Minervini's method identifies stocks in Stage 2 uptrends - the sweet spot where institutional money is accumulating and stocks show the strongest momentum. Think of it as finding stocks that are "leaders" rather than "laggards."
2. What is VCP (Volatility Contraction Pattern)?
A VCP occurs when:
Stock price consolidates (moves sideways) after an uptrend
Price swings get tighter and tighter (like a coiled spring)
Volume dries up (fewer people trading)
Then it breaks out with force.
You can customize the strategy settings without editing code.
Key Settings:
Minimum Price (₹50): Filters out penny stocks that are too volatile
Min Distance from 52W Low (30%): Stock should be at least 30% above its yearly low
Max Distance from 52W High (25%): Stock should be within 25% of its yearly high (showing strength)
Moving Average Periods: 10, 50, 150, 200 days (industry standard)
Minimum Volume (100,000 shares): Ensures the stock is liquid enough to trade
Indian Market Adaptation: The default values (₹50 minimum, volume thresholds) are adjusted for NSE stocks, which behave differently than US markets.
The script pulls weekly chart data even when you're viewing daily charts.
Why it matters: Weekly trends are more reliable than daily noise. Professional traders use weekly charts to confirm the bigger picture.
What are Moving Averages (MAs)?
Simple averages of closing prices over X days
They smooth out price action to show trends
Think of them as the "average cost" of buyers over different time periods
The 4 Key MAs:
10 MA (Fast): Very short-term trend
50 MA: Short to medium-term trend
150 MA: Medium to long-term trend
200 MA: Long-term trend (the "grandfather" of all MAs)
Why Weekly MAs?
The script also calculates 10 and 50 MAs on weekly data for additional confirmation of the bigger trend.
The script Finds the highest and lowest prices over the past 52 weeks (1 year).
Why it matters:
Stocks near 52-week highs are showing strength (institutions buying)
Stocks far from 52-week lows have "room to run" upward
This is a psychological level that influences trader behaviour.
What is Volume here ?
The number of shares traded each day
High volume = many traders interested (conviction)
Low volume = lack of interest (weakness or consolidation)
Volume in VCP:
During consolidation (sideways movement), volume should dry up - this shows sellers are exhausted and buyers are holding. When volume spikes on a breakout, it confirms the move.
NSE Context: Indian stocks often have different volume patterns than US stocks, so the 50-day average is used as a baseline.
Relative Strength vs Nifty:
Example:
If your stock is up 20% and Nifty is up 10%, your stock has strong RS
If your stock is up 5% and Nifty is up 15%, your stock has weak RS (avoid it!)
Why it matters: The best performing stocks almost always have strong relative strength before major moves.
The 13 Minervini Conditions:-
Condition 1: Price > 50/150/200 MA
Meaning: Current price must be above ALL three major moving averages.
Why: This confirms the stock is in a clear uptrend. If price is below these MAs, the stock is weak or in a downtrend.
Condition 2: MA 50 > 150 > 200
Meaning: The moving averages themselves must be in proper order.
Analogy: Think of this like layers in a cake - short-term on top, long-term at bottom. If they're tangled, the trend is unclear.
Condition 3: 200 MA Rising (1 Month)
Meaning: The 200 MA today must be higher than it was 20 days ago.
Why: This confirms the long-term trend is UP, not flat or down. The means "20 bars ago."
Condition 4: 50 MA Rising
Meaning: The 50 MA today must be higher than 5 days ago.
Why: Confirms short-term momentum is accelerating upward.
Condition 5: Within 25% of 52-Week High
Meaning: Current price should be within 25% of its 1-year high.
Example:
52-week high = ₹1000
Current price must be above ₹750 (within 25%)
Why: Strong stocks stay near their highs. Weak stocks fall far from highs.
Condition 6: 30%+ Above 52-Week Low (OPTIONAL)
Meaning: Stock should be at least 30% above its yearly low.
Note: The script marks this as "SECONDARY - Optional" because the other conditions are more important. However, it's still a good confirmation.
Condition 7: Price > 10 MA
Meaning: Very short-term strength - price above the 10-day moving average.
Why: Ensures the stock hasn't just rolled over in the immediate term.
Condition 8: Price >= ₹50
Meaning: Filters out stocks below ₹50.
Why: In Indian markets, stocks below ₹50 tend to be penny stocks with poor liquidity and higher manipulation risk.
Condition 9: Weekly Uptrend
Meaning: On the weekly chart, price must be above both weekly MAs, and they must be properly aligned.
Why: Confirms the bigger picture trend, not just daily fluctuations.
Condition 10: 150 MA Rising
Meaning: The 150 MA is trending upward over the past 10 days.
Why: Another confirmation of medium-term trend health.
Condition 11: Sufficient Volume
Meaning: Average volume must exceed 100,000 shares (or your custom setting).
Why: Ensures you can actually buy/sell the stock without moving the price too much (liquidity).
Condition 12: RS vs Nifty Strong
Meaning: The stock's relative strength vs Nifty must be improving.
Why: You want stocks that are outperforming the market, not underperforming.
Condition 13: Nifty in Uptrend
Meaning: The Nifty 50 index itself must be above its 50 MA.
Why: "A rising tide lifts all boats." It's easier to make money in individual stocks when the overall market is bullish.
VCP Requirements:
Volatility Contracting: Price swings getting tighter (coiling spring)
Volume Drying Up: Fewer shares trading + trending lower
The Setup: When volatility contracts and volume dries up WHILE all 13 trend conditions are met, you have a VCP setup ready to explode.
What You See on Chart:
Colored Lines: 10 MA (green), 50 MA (blue), 150 MA (orange), 200 MA (red)
Blue Background: Trend template conditions met (watch zone)
Green Background: Full VCP setup detected (buy zone)
↟ Symbol Below Price: New VCP buy signal just triggered
Information Table:
What it does: Creates a checklist table on your chart showing the status of all conditions.
Table Structure:
Column 1: Condition name
Column 2: Status (✓ green = met, ✗ red = not met)
Final Row: Shows "BUY" (green) or "WAIT" (red) based on full VCP setup status.
Dos:
Example:
Account size: ₹5,00,000
Risk per trade: 1% = ₹5,000
Entry: ₹1000
Stop loss: ₹920 (8% below)
Distance to stop: ₹80
Shares to buy: ₹5,000 / ₹80 = 62 shares
Exit Strategy:
Sell 1/3 at +20% profit
Sell another 1/3 at +40% profit
Let the final 1/3 run with a trailing stop
Always exit if price closes below 10 MA on heavy volume
What This Script Does NOT Do:
Guarantee profits - No strategy works 100% of the time
Account for news events - Earnings, regulatory changes, etc.
Consider fundamentals - Company financials, debt, management quality
Adapt to market crashes - Works best in bull markets
Best Market Conditions:
✅ Nifty in uptrend (above 50 MA)
✅ Market breadth positive (more stocks advancing)
✅ Sector rotation happening
❌ Avoid in bear markets or high volatility periods

Multi-Ticker Anchored CandlesMulti-Ticker Anchored Candles (MTAC) is a simple tool for overlaying up to 3 tickers onto the same chart. This is achieved by interpreting each symbol's OHLC data as percentages, then plotting their candle points relative to the main chart's open. This allows for a simple comparison of tickers to track performance or locate relationships between them.
> Background
The concept of multi-ticker analysis is not new, this type of analysis can be extremely helpful to get a gauge of the over all market, and it's sentiment. By analyzing more than one ticker at a time, relationships can often be observed between tickers as time progresses.
While seeing multiple charts on top of each other sounds like a good idea...each ticker has its own price scale, with some being only cents while others are thousands of dollars.
Directly overlaying these charts is not possible without modification to their sources.
By using a fixed point in time (Period Open) and percentage performance relative to that point for each ticker, we are able to directly overlay symbols regardless of their price scale differences.
The entire process used to make this indicator can be summed up into 2 keywords, "Scaling & Anchoring".
> Scaling
First, we start by determining a frame of reference for our analysis. The indicator uses timeframe inputs to determine sessions which are used, by default this is set to 1 day.
With this in place, we then determine our point of reference for scaling. While this could be any point in time, the most sensible for our application is the daily (or session) open.
Each symbol shares time, therefore, we can take a price point from a specified time (Opening Price) and use it to sync our analysis over each period.
Over the day, we track the percentage performance of each ticker's OHLC values relative to its daily open (% change from open).
Since each ticker's data is now tracked based on its opening price, all data is now using the same scale.
The scale is simply "% change from open".
> Anchoring
Now that we have our scaled data, we need to put it onto the chart.
Since each point of data is relative to it's daily open (anchor point), relatively speaking, all daily opens are now equal to each other.
By adding the scaled ticker data to the main chart's daily open, each of our resulting series will be properly scaled to the main chart's data based on percentages.
Congratulations, We have now accurately scaled multiple tickers onto one chart.
> Display
The indicator shows each requested ticker as different colored candlesticks plotted on top of the main chart.
Each ticker has an associated label in front of the current bar, each component of this label can be toggled on or off to allow only the desired information to be displayed.
To retain relevance, at the start of each session, a "Session Break" line is drawn, as well as the opening price for the session. These can also be toggled.
Note: The opening price is the opening price for ALL tickers, when a ticker crosses the open on the main chart, it is crossing its own opening price as well.
> Examples
In the chart below, we can see NYSE:MCD NASDAQ:WEN and NASDAQ:JACK overlaid on a NASDAQ:SBUX chart.
From this, we can see NASDAQ:JACK was the top gainer on the day. While this was the case, it also fell roughly 4% from its peak near lunchtime. Unlike the top gainer, we can see the other 3 tickers ended their day near their daily high.
In the explanations above, the daily timeframe is used since it is the default; however, the analysis is not constrained to only days. The anchoring period can be set to any timeframe period.
In the chart below, you can observe the Daily, Weekly, and Monthly anchored charts side-by-side.
This can be used on all tickers, timeframes, and markets. While a typical application may be comparing relevant assets... the script is not limited.
Below we have a chart tracking COMEX:GCV2026 , FX:EURUSD , and COINBASE:DOGEUSD on the AMEX:SPY chart.
While these tickers are not typically compared side-by-side, here it is simply a display of the capabilities of the script.
Enjoy!
BOS and CHoCHThe market never moves in a straight line. It moves in waves.
It makes a High, comes down a bit (Low), then breaks the previous High to make a new High.
Similarly, It makes a Low, goes up a bit (High), then breaks the previous Low to make a new Low.
BOS (Break Of Structure) - Trend Continuation
BOS means the market is continuing its current trend. If the market is in an Uptrend and breaks the old "High" -> Bullish BOS. If the market is in a Downtrend and breaks the old "Low" -> Bearish BOS.
3. CHOCH (Change Of Character) - Trend Reversal
CHOCH means the mood of the market has changed. For the first time, the trend has shifted its nature.
Bullish to Bearish CHOCH: The market was making Higher Highs, but suddenly it broke its previous "Low". Now the market can fall.
Bearish to Bullish CHOCH: The market was falling (Lower Lows), but suddenly it broke its previous "High". Now the market can rise.
BOS: Confirms the trend (Breaking the ceiling to go higher).
CHOCH: Signals a trend change (Slipping and falling below the previous floor).
The Strat - Levels [rdjxyz]◆ OVERVIEW
The Strat - Levels dynamically displays key levels used in The Strat trading methodology, developed by Rob Smith. The level colors are dynamically determined by their Strat classification (1, 2 up, failed 2 up, 2 down, failed 2 down, 3)—making it easy to recognize higher timeframe Strat candle classifications from any lower timeframe.
◆ DETAILS
If you're unfamiliar with The Strat, there are 3 universal scenarios regarding candle behavior:
SCENARIO ONE
The 1 Bar - Inside Bar: A candle that doesn't take out the highs or the lows of the previous candle; aka consolidation.
SCENARIO TWO
The 2 Bar - Directional Bar: A candle that takes out one side of the previous candle; aka trending (or at least attempting to trend).
These can be broken down even further as follows:
2 Up: A candle that takes out the high of the previous candle and closes bullish
Failed 2 Up: A candle that takes out the high of the previous candle and closes bearish
2 Down: A candle that takes out the low of the previous candle and closes bearish
Failed 2 Down: A candle that takes out the low of the previous candle and closes bullish
SCENARIO THREE
The 3 Bar - Outside Bar: A candle that takes out both sides of the previous candle; aka broadening formation.
◇ HOW THE DYNAMIC LEVEL COLORING WORKS
PREVIOUS LEVELS
Previous Day High/Low
Previous Week High/Low
Previous Month High/Low
Previous Quarter High/Low
Previous Year High/Low
Each period's levels are compared to their previous period's levels and colored according to the 3 universal scenarios, which are fixed based on historical data. (No repainting)
CURRENT LEVELS
Current Day Open
Current Week Open
Current Month Open
Current Quarter Open
Current Year Open
Each current period's levels (high, low, and current price) are compared to the previous period's levels and current period's open on every tick—changing colors in real-time as their Strat classification changes. (Will repaint as price action evolves)
E.g. When a new day opens inside of the previous day's range (high/low) the Day Open line will be gray (default for inside bars). When the current day trades above the previous day's range, the Day Open line will become aqua (default for 2 up). If price trades back below the current day's open, the Day Open line will become fuchsia (default for failed 2 up). And if price trades below the previous day's range, the Day Open line will become dark purple (default for 3s).

Label Offset (Integer)
Each Previous Level High/Low has 5 inputs:

Label Offset (Integer)
And each Strat scenario can be custom colored:
1-Bar Color - Default Gray
2-Up Color - Default Aqua
Failed 2-Up Color - Default Fuchsia
2-Down Color - Default White
Failed 2-Down Color - Default Teal
3-Bar Color - Default Dark Purple
◆ USAGE
There are 3 ways to look at these levels:
Potential continuation (e.g. Previous Day's 2-Up High being broken by Current Day's Price)
Potential reversal (e.g. Previous Day's 2-Down High being broken by Current Day's Price)
Potential exhaustion risk (e.g. Previous Month's Low is broken by Current Day's Price but trades back up into the Previous Month's range)
It's best to use this indicator with a separate indicator that color codes your chart's candles according to their Strat Scenario (1, 2, 3) and use top-down analysis to gauge whether to view levels as a sign of continuation, reversal, or exhaustion risk.
◆ WRAP UP
As demonstrated, The Strat - Levels offers Strat Scenario color-coded key levels, making it easy to identify the previous period's Strat Scenario (1, 2-Up, Failed 2-Up, 2-Down, Failed 2-Down, or 3) without needing to manually plot levels or refer to higher timeframes.
◆ DISCLAIMER
This indicator is a tool for visual analysis and is intended to assist traders who follow The Strat methodology. As with any trading methodology, there's no guarantee of profits; trading involves a high degree of risk and you could lose all of your invested capital. Use of this indicator is not indicative of future results and does not constitute and should not be construed as investment advice.

Compression Breakout [30min 65+33 EMA]Compression Breakout
by GhostMMXM (inspired by Chris Cady & Steidlmayer Market Profile principles)
This indicator automates the exact compression-to-displacement setup that veteran CBOT floor trader and Market Profile pioneer Chris Cady describes in interviews and his work with Peter Steidlmayer.
Core idea
Chris Cady uses two simple moving averages on the 30-minute chart — a 33-period and a 65-period — to visually detect when the market falls into “balance” (compression). When both lines go almost perfectly flat for several bars, the market is in a low-volatility, high-consensus state — the calm before a violent vertical breakout.
What this script does
• Detects when both the 33 EMA and 65 EMA are virtually flat (user-adjustable sensitivity)
• Requires a minimum of 6 consecutive flat bars (adjustable) before declaring compression
• Draws a light-grey background + live-updating box showing the detecting compression
• Triggers only on the first strong displacing bar that:
– closes entirely above the compression high OR entirely below the compression low
– has a range ≥ 1.5× the average bar range inside the compression zone (adjustable)
• Plots a clear “LONG Cady Break” or “SHORT Cady Break” label on the breakout bar
• Fires a clean alert instantly usable on entire watchlists:
BTC → Compression LONG breakout!
ES1! → Compression SHORT breakout!
Designed for 30-minute charts (BTC, ETH, SOL, NQ, CL, GC, etc.) but works on any timeframe.
Perfect for traders who want to catch the highest-conviction vertical moves that Chris Cady has traded for decades with only a few contracts scaled in aggressively on the break.
Settings
• Minimum flat bars for compression (default 6)
• Max % slope to be considered flat (default 0.08 %)
• Minimum range multiplier vs compression average (default 1.5×)
Enjoy the cleanest, most mechanical version of Chris Cady’s famous compression breakout strategy available on TradingView.
Happy trading!

Dynamic Support and Resistance with Trend LinesDynamic Support and Resistance with Trend Lines (DSRTL)
1. Introduction & Methodology
The DSRTL indicator is designed to provide a multidimensional analysis of market structure. Unlike traditional tools that rely solely on price pivots, this script combines Static Volume-based Zones with Dynamic Trend Lines to evaluate the price's position relative to critical market components.
The S/R Identification Technique
Instead of standard pivot points, DSRTL utilizes Volume Analysis to highlight areas of significant trader participation:
- Strategy A:
Matrix Climax: Identifies candles within the lookback period that are near price extremes (Highs/Lows) and coincide with significant buying or selling volume.
- Strategy B:
Volume Extremes: Detects candles with the absolute highest buy/sell volumes within the selected lookback window, creating extreme volume-based S/R zones.
- Result:
This creates Support/Resistance (S/R) zones that are validated by actual market activity, not just price geometry.
Dynamic Trend Lines
To complement the static zones, the indicator employs two adaptive channel methods:
- Pivot Span: Connects recent significant pivots for a fast, reactive trend corridor.
- 5-Point Channel: Segments the lookback period into 5 parts to perform a linear regression analysis, creating a stable and statistically significant channel.
2. Volume Calculation Methodology
Accurate S/R detection requires distinguishing Buy Volume from Sell Volume. DSRTL offers two calculation modes:
- Geometry (Source File): Estimates buy/sell volume based on the Close price's position relative to the High/Low of the candle.
Note: This is an approximation that works on all plan types as it does not require intrabar data.
- Intrabar (Precise): Analyzes historical lower-timeframe data (e.g., 15S) to calculate intrabar-based volume deltas with higher precision compared to the geometric method.
Note: This offers superior accuracy. It requires access to historical intrabar data (depending on your plan limits). For the best analytical results, use this mode if available.
3. The Smart Matrix Engine (3D Analysis)
The core of DSRTL is its dashboard, powered by the "Smart Matrix Engine." This engine evaluates the current price in a multi-layer market structure context (Static Volume Zones + Dynamic Channels + Volume Metrics).:
A. S-State (Static): Where is the price relative to the Volume S/R zones?
B. D-State (Dynamic): Where is the price relative to the Trend Channels?
How to read the Matrix Map:
The dashboard displays a 5x5 grid representing 25 possible market scenarios.
- Rows (S1-S5): Represent the Static State (S1=Breakout, S3=Mid-Range, S5=Breakdown).
- Columns (D1-D5): Represent the Dynamic State (D1=Overextended Up, D3=Neutral, D5=Overextended Down).
- Active Cell: Marked with a dot, indicating the specific intersection of price action and market structure.
4. Matrix Interpretations (The 25 Scenarios)
Below is the detailed logic for every possible state displayed on the dashboard, explaining the Title, Bias, and actionable Signal.
Section I: S1 - Static Breakout (Price > Static Resistance)

DISCLAIMER & EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE
This indicator is strictly an educational tool designed to visualize complex market structure concepts. Its primary purpose is to help traders "bridge the gap" between academic theory and real-time market behavior by providing a visual representation of support, resistance, and volume dynamics.
Please Note:
1. Not a Trading Strategy: This script is an analytical assistant, not a standalone "Black Box" trading system. It does not generate buy or sell signals that should be followed blindly.
2. No Financial Advice: The data provided by this tool is for informational purposes only. It is not a recommendation to buy or sell any asset.
3. Risk Warning: Trading involves significant risk. Always use your own judgment, perform your own technical analysis, and use proper risk management. Do not use this tool as the sole basis for your trading decisions.
4. Data Precision & Platform Limits: The "Intrabar (Precise)" calculation mode relies on high-resolution historical data to provide exact results. Access to this specific data depth depends entirely on your platform's subscription capabilities. If your plan does not support this level of historical intrabar data, the Precise mode may have limited coverage. In that case, you should switch to "Geometry" mode for a fully populated view.
Session ATP (Trend Colored)📌 Average Traded Price (ATP) – What It Means
ATP (Average Traded Price) is the weighted average price at which a stock has traded during the session, considering both price and volume.
It tells you where the majority of money has actually traded — not just the candle close.
If price stays above ATP → Buyers are in control
If price stays below ATP → Sellers dominate
ATP is like the intraday fair value of the stock.
📌 How ATP Helps in Trading
ATP gives three major insights:
1️⃣ Strength of Trend (Real Strength)
ATP rises only if strong volume enters at higher prices.
So, a rising ATP confirms genuine bullish strength, not fake moves.
ATP falling confirms real selling pressure, not random dips.
2️⃣ High-Probability Retests
Price often pulls back to ATP before taking the next direction.
Price above ATP → ATP becomes support
Price below ATP → ATP becomes resistance
This makes ATP extremely useful for intraday entries.
3️⃣ Identifying Where Big Players Are Positioned
Since ATP is volume-weighted, it reflects where institutions and big orders traded most.
If price stays above the level where institutions bought → trend is strong
If price stays below their cost → trend is weak
📌 How ATP Indicates Price Direction
In your improved version, ATP is trend-colored:
✔ Green → ATP rising → buyers dominating
✔ Red → ATP falling → sellers dominating
✔ Gray → sideways
Direction rule:
Bullish bias when price > ATP and ATP rising
Bearish bias when price < ATP and ATP falling
No-trade zone when price and ATP are flat / tangled
ATP often acts as:
Magnet in consolidation
Springboard in uptrend
Ceiling in downtrend
This helps you judge whether the move is:
A breakout with strength, or
A fake move without volume support.
🔥 Final Line
ATP is one of the few indicators that shows where the real money is trading, making it an excellent guide for intraday trend confirmation, support/resistance, and entry timing.
Moving VWAP-KAMA CloudMoving VWAP-KAMA Cloud
Overview
The Moving VWAP-KAMA Cloud is a high-conviction trend filter designed to solve a major problem with standard indicators: Noise. By combining a smoothed Volume Weighted Average Price (MVWAP) with Kaufman’s Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA), this indicator creates a "Value Zone" that identifies the true structural trend while ignoring choppy price action.
Unlike brittle lines that break constantly, this cloud is "slow" by design—making it exceptionally powerful for spotting genuine trend reversals and filtering out fakeouts.
How It Works
This script uses a unique "Double Smoothing" architecture:
The Anchor (MVWAP): We take the standard VWAP and smooth it with a 30-period EMA. This represents the "Fair Value" baseline where volume has supported price over time.
The Filter (KAMA): We apply Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average to the already smoothed MVWAP. KAMA is unique because it flattens out during low-volatility (choppy) periods and speeds up during high-momentum trends.
The Cloud:
Green/Teal Cloud: Bullish Structure (MVWAP > KAMA)
Purple Cloud: Bearish Structure (MVWAP < KAMA)
🔥 The "Reversal Slingshot" Strategy
Backtests reveal a powerful behavior during major trend changes, particularly after long bear markets:
The Resistance Phase: During a long-term downtrend, price will repeatedly rally into the Purple Cloud and get rejected. The flattened KAMA line acts as a "concrete ceiling," keeping the bearish trend intact.
The Breakout & Flip: When price finally breaks above the cloud with conviction, and the cloud flips Green, it signals a structural regime change.
The "Slingshot" Retest: Often, immediately after this flip, price will drop back into the top of the cloud. This is the "Slingshot" moment. The old resistance becomes new, hardened support.
The Rally: From this support bounce, stocks often launch into a sustained, multi-month bull run. This setup has been observed repeatedly at the bottom of major corrections.
How to Use This Indicator
1. Dynamic Support & Resistance
The KAMA Wall: When price retraces into the cloud, the KAMA line often flattens out, acting as a hard "floor" or "wall." A break of this wall usually signals a genuine trend change, not just a stop hunt.
2. Trend Confirmation (Regime Filter)
Bullish Regime: If price is holding above the cloud, only look for Long setups.
Bearish Regime: If price is holding below the cloud, only look for Short setups.
No-Trade Zone: If price is stuck inside the cloud, the market is traversing fair value. Stand aside until a clear winner emerges.
3. Multi-Timeframe Versatility
While designed for trend confirmation on higher timeframes (4H, Daily), this indicator adapts beautifully to lower timeframes (5m, 15m) for intraday scalping.
On Lower Timeframes: The cloud reacts much faster, acting as a dynamic "VWAP Band" that helps intraday traders stay on the right side of momentum during the session.
Settings
Moving VWAP Period (30): The lookback period for the base VWAP smoothing.
KAMA Settings (10, 10, 30): Controls the sensitivity of the adaptive filter.
Cloud Transparency: Adjust to keep your chart clean.

Tip for Traders
This is not a signal entry indicator. It is a Trend Conviction tool. Use it to filter your entries from faster indicators (like RSI or MACD). If your fast indicator signals "Buy" but the cloud is Purple, the probability is low. Wait for the Cloud Flip
