🔵 IDEA
The Volumatic VIDYA indicator's core idea is to provide a dynamic, adaptive smoothing tool that identifies trends while simultaneously calculating the volume pressure behind them. The VIDYA line, based on the Variable Index Dynamic Average, adjusts according to the strength of the price movements, offering a more adaptive response to the market compared to standard moving averages.
By calculating and displaying the buy and sell volume pressure throughout each trend, the indicator provides traders with key insights into market participation. The horizontal lines drawn from the highs and lows of market structure pivots give additional clarity on support and resistance levels, backed by average volume at these points. This dual analysis of trend and volume allows traders to evaluate the strength and potential of market movements more effectively.
🔵 KEY FEATURES & USAGE
VIDYA Calculation:
The Variable Index Dynamic Average (VIDYA) is a special type of moving average that adjusts dynamically to the market’s volatility and momentum. Unlike traditional moving averages that use fixed periods, VIDYA adjusts its smoothing factor based on the relative strength of the price movements, using the Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) to capture the magnitude of price changes. When momentum is strong, VIDYA adapts and smooths out price movements quicker, making it more responsive to rapid price changes. This makes VIDYA more adaptable to volatile markets compared to traditional moving averages such as the Simple Moving Average (SMA) or the Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which are less flexible.
// VIDYA (Variable Index Dynamic Average) function
vidya_calc(src, vidya_length, vidya_momentum) =>
float momentum = ta.change(src)
float sum_pos_momentum = math.sum((momentum >= 0) ? momentum : 0.0, vidya_momentum)
float sum_neg_momentum = math.sum((momentum >= 0) ? 0.0 : -momentum, vidya_momentum)
float abs_cmo = math.abs(100 * (sum_pos_momentum - sum_neg_momentum) / (sum_pos_momentum + sum_neg_momentum))
float alpha = 2 / (vidya_length + 1)
var float vidya_value = 0.0
vidya_value := alpha * abs_cmo / 100 * src + (1 - alpha * abs_cmo / 100) * nz(vidya_value )
ta.sma(vidya_value, 15)
When momentum is strong, VIDYA adapts and smooths out price movements quicker, making it more responsive to rapid price changes. This makes VIDYA more adaptable to volatile markets compared to traditional moving averages
Triangle Trend Shift Signals:
The indicator marks trend shifts with up and down triangles, signaling a potential change in direction. These signals appear when the price crosses above a VIDYA during an uptrend or crosses below during a downtrend.
Volume Pressure Calculation:
The Volumatic VIDYA tracks the buy and sell pressure during each trend, calculating the cumulative volume for up and down bars. Positive delta volume occurs during uptrends due to higher buy pressure, while negative delta volume reflects higher sell pressure during downtrends. The delta is displayed in real-time on the chart, offering a quick view of volume imbalances.
Market Structure Pivot Lines with Volume Labels:
The indicator draws horizontal lines based on market structure pivots, which are calculated using the highs and lows of price action. These lines are extended on the chart until price crosses them. The indicator also plots the average volume over a 6-bar range to provide a clearer understanding of volume dynamics at critical points.
🔵 CUSTOMIZATION
VIDYA Length & Momentum: Control the sensitivity of the VIDYA line by adjusting the length and momentum settings, allowing traders to customize the smoothing effect to match their trading style.
Volume Pivot Detection: Set the number of bars to consider for identifying pivots, which influences the calculation of the average volume at key levels.
Band Distance: Adjust the band distance multiplier for controlling how far the upper and lower bands extend from the VIDYA line, based on the ATR (Average True Range).

Change in State of Delivery CISD ICT [TradingFinder] Liquidity 1🔵 Introduction
🟣 What is CISD ?
Change in State of Delivery (CISD) is a key concept in technical analysis, similar to Change of Character (ChoCh) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money trading styles. Like ChoCh and MSS, CISD helps traders identify critical changes in market structure and make timely entries into trades.
To determine the CISD Level, traders typically review the last 1 to 4 candles to identify the first positive or negative candle. The CISD Level is then set using the opening price of the next candle.
In this version of the indicator, support and resistance levels are defined based on liquidity, which includes patterns such as SFP (Swing Failure Pattern), fake breakout, and false breakout.
Bullish CISD :
Bearish CISD :
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Bullish CISD (Change in State of Delivery Upward)
In Bullish CISD, the trend shifts from bearish to bullish after the price hits a liquidity zone, typically indicated by patterns such as SFP, fake breakout, or false breakout.
The steps to identify Bullish CISD are as follow s:
Identify the liquidity zone (SFP, fake breakout).
Review the candles and find the first positive candle.
Set the CISD Level using the opening price of the next candle after the positive candle.
Confirm the change in state of delivery when the price closes above the CISD Level.
Enter the trade after CISD confirmation.
🟣 Bearish CISD (Change in State of Delivery Downward)
In Bearish CISD, the trader looks for a shift from a bullish to a bearish trend. This change typically occurs when the price hits a liquidity level, indicated by patterns such as SFP or false breakout.
The steps to identify Bearish CISD are :
Identify the liquidity zone.
Review the candles and find the first negative candle.
Set the CISD Level using the opening price of the next candle after the negative candle.
Confirm the change in state of delivery when the price closes below the CISD Level.
Enter a short trade after CISD confirmation.
🟣 CISD Compared to ChoCh and MSS (CISD Vs ChoCh/ MSS)
CISD, ChoCh, and MSS are all tools for identifying trend changes in the market, but they have some differences :
CISD: Focuses on a change in the state of delivery and uses liquidity patterns (SFP, fake breakout) and key candles to confirm trend reversals.
ChoCh: Identifies a change in the market’s character, often signaling rapid shifts in trend direction.
MSS: Focuses on changes in market structure and identifies the breaking of key levels as a signal of trend shifts.

This concept is similar to ChoCh and MSS but stands out with its focus on confirming trend changes through liquidity and specific patterns. With the right approach, CISD helps traders capitalize on market movements more effectively.
ICT Balanced Price Range [TradingFinder] BPR | FVG + IFVG🔵 Introduction
The ICT Balanced Price Range (BPR) indicator is a valuable tool that helps traders identify key areas on price charts where a balance between buyers and sellers is established. These zones can serve as critical points for potential price reversals or continuations.
🟣 Bullish Balanced Price Range
A Bullish BPR forms when a buying pressure zone (Bullish FVG) overlaps with a Bullish Inversion FVG. This overlap indicates a high probability of price moving upwards, making it a crucial area for traders to consider.
🟣 Bearish Balanced Price Range
Similarly, a Bearish BPR is created when a selling pressure zone (Bearish FVG) overlaps with a Bearish Inversion FVG. This zone is often seen as a key area where the price is likely to move downward.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Identifying the Balanced Price Range (BPR)
To identify the Balanced Price Range (BPR), you must first locate two Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on the price chart. One FVG should be on the sell side, and the other on the buy side. When these two FVGs horizontally oppose each other, the area where they overlap is recognized as the Balanced Price Range (BPR).
This BPR zone is highly sensitive to price movements due to the combination of two FVGs, often leading to strong market reactions. As the price approaches this area, the likelihood of a significant market move increases, making it a prime target for professional traders.
🟣 Bullish Balanced Price Range (Bullish BPR)
To effectively trade using a Bullish BPR, begin by identifying a bullish market structure and searching for bullish Price Delivery Arrays (PD Arrays). Once the market structure shifts to bullish in a lower time frame, locate a Bullish FVG within the Discount Zone that overlaps with a Bearish FVG.
Mark this overlapping zone and wait for the price to test it before executing a buy trade. Alternatively, you can set a Buy Limit order with a stop loss below the recent swing low and target profits based on higher time frame liquidity draws.
🟣 Bearish Balanced Price Range (Bearish BPR)
For bearish trades, start by identifying a bearish market structure and look for bearish PD Arrays. After the market structure shifts to bearish in a lower time frame, identify a Bearish FVG within the Discount Zone that overlaps with a Bullish FVG. Mark this overlapping zone and execute a sell trade when the price tests it.
You can also use a Sell Limit order with a stop loss above the recent swing high and target profits according to higher time frame liquidity draws.
🔵 Settings
🟣 Global Settings

🟣 Logic Settings
FVG Filter : This refines the number of identified FVG areas based on a specified algorithm to focus on higher quality signals and reduce noise.
Types of FVG filters :
Very Aggressive Filter : Adds a condition where, for an upward FVG, the last candle's highest price must exceed the middle candle's highest price, and for a downward FVG, the last candle's lowest price must be lower than the middle candle's lowest price. This minimally filters out FVGs.
Aggressive Filter : Builds on the Very Aggressive mode by ensuring the middle candle is not too small, filtering out more FVGs.
Defensive Filter : Adds criteria regarding the size and structure of the middle candle, requiring it to have a substantial body and specific polarity conditions, filtering out a significant number of FVGs.
Very Defensive Filte r: Further refines filtering by ensuring the first and third candles are not small-bodied doji candles, retaining only the highest quality signals.
🟣 Alert Settings
Alert Inversion FVG Mitigation : Enables alerts for Inversion FVG mitigation.
Message Frequency : Determines the frequency of alerts. Options include 'All' (every function call), 'Once Per Bar' (first call within the bar), and 'Once Per Bar Close' (final script execution of the real-time bar). Default is 'Once per Bar'.
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : Configures the time zone for alert messages. Default is 'UTC'.
Display More Info : Provides additional details in alert messages, including price range, date, hour, and minute. Set to 'Off' to exclude this information.
🔵 Conclusion
The ICT Balanced Price Range is a powerful and reliable tool for identifying key points on price charts. This strategy can be applied across various time frames and serves as a complementary tool alongside other indicators and technical analysis methods.
The most crucial aspect of utilizing this strategy effectively is correctly identifying FVGs and their overlapping areas, which comes with practice and experience.

Smart Money Oscillator [ChartPrime]The "Smart Money Oscillator " is a premium and discount zone oscillator with BOS and CHoCH built in for further analysis of price action. This indicator works by first determining the the premium and discount zones by using pivot points and high/lows. The top of this oscillator represents the current premium zone while the bottom half of this oscillator represents the discount zone. This oscillator functionally works like a stochastic oscillator with more sophisticated upper and lower bounds generated using smart money concept theories. We have included a moving average to allow the user to visualize the currant momentum in the oscillator. Another key feature we have included lagging divergences to help traders visualize potential reversal conditions.
Understanding the concepts of Premium and Discount zones, as well as Break of Structure (BoS) and Change of Character (CHoCH), is crucial for traders using the Smart Money Oscillator. These concepts are rooted in market structure analysis, which involves studying price levels and movements.
Premium Zone is where the price is considered to be relatively high or 'overbought'. In this zone, prices have risen significantly and may indicate that the asset is becoming overvalued, potentially leading to a reversal or slowdown in the upward trend.
The Discount Zone represents a 'discount' or 'oversold' area. Here, prices have fallen substantially, suggesting that the asset might be undervalued. This could be an indicator of a potential upward reversal or a pause in the downward trend.
Break of Structure (BoS) is about the continuation of a trend. In a bullish trend, a BoS is identified by the break of a recent higher high. In a bearish trend, it's the break of a recent Lower Low. BoS indicates that the trend is strong and likely to continue in its current direction. It's a sign of strength in the prevailing trend, whether up or down.
Change of Character (CHoCH) is an indication of a potential end to a trend. It occurs when there's a significant change in the market's behavior, contradicting the current trend. For example, in an uptrend characterized by higher highs and higher lows, a CHoCH may occur if a new high is formed but then is followed by an impulsive move downwards. This suggests that the bullish trend may be weakening and a bearish reversal could be imminent. CHoCH is essentially a sign of trend exhaustion and potential reversal.
With each consecutive BoS, the signal line of the oscillator will deepen in color. This allows you to visually see the strength of the current trend. The maximum strength of the trend is found by keeping track of the maximum number of consecutive BoS's within a window of 10. This calculation excludes periods without any BoS's to allow for a more stable max.
Quick Update is a feature that implements a more aggressive algorithm to update the highs and lows. Instead of updating the pivot points exclusively to update the range levels, it will attempt to use the current historical highs/lows to update the bounds. This results in a more responsive range at the cost of stability. There are pros and cons for both settings. With Quick Update disabled, the indicator will allow for strong reversals to register without the indicator maxing out. With Quick Update enabled, the indicator will show shorter term extremes with the risk of the signal being pinned to the extremities during strong trends or large movements. With Quick Update disabled, the oscillator prioritizes stability, using a more historical perspective to set its bounds. When Quick Update is enabled, the oscillator becomes more responsive, adjusting its bounds rapidly to reflect the latest market movements.
The Scale Offset feature allows the indicator to break the boundaries of the oscillator. This can be useful when the market is breaking highs or lows allowing the user to identify extremities in price. With Scale Offset disabled the oscillator will always remain inside of the boundaries because the extremities will be updated instantly. When this feature is enabled it will update the boundaries one step behind instead of updating it instantly. This allows the user to more easily see overbought and oversold conditions at the cost of incurring a single bar lag to the boundaries. Generally this is a good idea as this behavior makes the oscillator more sensitive to recent price spikes or drops, reflecting sudden market movements more accurately. It accentuates the extremities of the market conditions, potentially offering a more aggressive analysis. The main trade-off with the Scale Offset feature is between sensitivity and potential overreaction. It offers a more immediate and exaggerated reflection of market conditions but might also lead to misinterpretations in certain scenarios, especially in highly volatile markets.
Divergence is used to predict potential trend reversals. It occurs when the price of an asset and the reading of an oscillator move in opposite directions. This discrepancy can signal a weakening of the current trend and possibly indicate a potential reversal.
Divergence doesn't always lead to a trend reversal, but it's a warning sign that the current trend might be weakening. Divergence can sometimes give false signals, particularly in strongly trending markets where the oscillator may remain in overbought or oversold conditions for extended periods. The lagging nature of using pivot points to calculate divergences means that all divergences are limited by the pivot look forward input. The upside of using a longer look forward is that the divergences will be more accurate. The obvious con here is that it will be more delayed and might be useless by the time it appears. Its recommended to use the built in divergences as a way to learn how these are formed so you can make your own in real time.
By default, the oscillator uses a smoothing of 3 to allow for a more price like behavior while still being rather smooth compared to raw price data. Conversely, you can increase this value to make this indicator behave smoother. Something to keep in mind is that the amount of delay from real time is equal to half of the smoothing period.
We have included a verity of alerts in this indicator. Here is a list of all of the available alerts: Bullish BOS, Bearish BOS, Bullish CHoCH, Bearish CHoCH, Bullish Divergence, Hidden Bullish Divergence, Bearish Divergence, Hidden Bearish Divergence, Cross Over Average, Cross Under Average.

Consolidation Spotter Multi Time FrameThis tool is designed for traders looking to spot areas of consolidation on their charts across various time frames. It highlights these consolidation areas using visually appealing boxes, making it easier to identify potential breakout or breakdown zones.
How To Use:
Spotting Consolidation: When you see a box form on your chart, this represents a consolidation zone. Within this zone, the price is moving sideways without a strong upward or downward trend.
Anticipating Breakouts & Breakdowns: Watch the price as it approaches the edges of the box. A movement outside the box can signal a potential breakout (if above the box) or a breakdown (if below the box). This is where momentum shifts can happen.
Momentum Confirmation: Once the price clearly moves out of the box, it indicates a momentum shift. If the price moves upwards out of the box, this can be seen as bullish momentum. Conversely, if the price moves downwards out of the box, this can be seen as bearish momentum.
To use the tool effectively, adjust the settings to suit your trading style, choose your preferred visual theme, and watch as the script highlights key consolidation areas on your chart.
Tip: To visualize fractals, consider using multiple instances of the "Consolidation Spotter" indicator, each set to a different timeframe. This approach allows you to observe consolidations nested within larger consolidations, offering deeper insights into market structures. 😉
Advanced Volatility-Adjusted Momentum IndexAdvanced Volatility-Adjusted Momentum Index (AVAMI)
The AVAMI is a powerful and versatile trading index which enhances the traditional momentum readings by introducing a volatility adjustment. This results in a more nuanced interpretation of market momentum, considering not only the rate of price changes but also the inherent volatility of the asset.
Settings and Parameters:
Momentum Length: This parameter sets the number of periods used to calculate the momentum, which is essentially the rate of change of the asset's price. A shorter length value means the momentum calculation will be more sensitive to recent price changes. Conversely, a longer length will yield a smoother and more stabilized momentum value, thereby reducing the impact of short-term price fluctuations.
Volatility Length: This parameter is responsible for determining the number of periods to be considered in the calculation of standard deviation of returns, which acts as the volatility measure. A shorter length will result in a more reactive volatility measure, while a longer length will produce a more stable, but less sensitive measure of volatility.
Smoothing Length: This parameter sets the number of periods used to apply a moving average smoothing to the AVAMI and its signal line. The purpose of this is to minimize the impact of volatile periods and to make the indicator's lines smoother and easier to interpret.
Lookback Period for Scaling: This is the number of periods used when rescaling the AVAMI values. The rescaling process is necessary to ensure that the AVAMI values remain within a consistent and interpretable range over time.
Overbought and Oversold Levels: These levels are thresholds at which the asset is considered overbought (potentially overvalued) or oversold (potentially undervalued), respectively. For instance, if the AVAMI exceeds the overbought level, traders may consider it as a possible selling opportunity, anticipating a price correction. Conversely, if the AVAMI falls below the oversold level, it could be seen as a buying opportunity, with the expectation of a price bounce.
Mid Level: This level represents the middle ground between the overbought and oversold levels. Crossing the mid-level line from below can be perceived as an increasing bullish momentum, and vice versa.
Show Divergences and Hidden Divergences: These checkboxes give traders the option to display regular and hidden divergences between the AVAMI and the asset's price. Divergences are crucial market structures that often signal potential price reversals.
Index Logic:
The AVAMI index begins with the calculation of a simple rate of change momentum indicator. This raw momentum is then adjusted by the standard deviation of log returns, which acts as a measure of market volatility. This adjustment process ensures that the resulting momentum index encapsulates not only the speed of price changes but also the market's volatility context.
The raw AVAMI is then smoothed using a moving average, and a signal line is generated as an exponential moving average (EMA) of this smoothed AVAMI. This signal line serves as a trigger for potential trading signals when crossed by the AVAMI.
The script also includes an algorithm to identify 'fractals', which are distinct price patterns that often act as potential market reversal points. These fractals are utilized to spot both regular and hidden divergences between the asset's price and the AVAMI.
Application and Strategy Concepts:
The AVAMI is a versatile tool that can be integrated into various trading strategies. Traders can utilize the overbought and oversold levels to identify potential reversal points. The AVAMI crossing the mid-level line can signify a change in market momentum. Additionally, the identification of regular and hidden divergences can serve as potential trading signals:
Regular Divergence: This happens when the asset's price records a new high/low, but the AVAMI fails to follow suit, suggesting a possible trend reversal. For instance, if the asset's price forms a higher high but the AVAMI forms a lower high, it's a regular bearish divergence, indicating potential price downturn.
Hidden Divergence: This is observed when the price forms a lower high/higher low, but the AVAMI forms a higher high/lower low, suggesting the continuation of the prevailing trend. For example, if the price forms a lower low during a downtrend, but the AVAMI forms a higher low, it's a hidden bullish divergence, signaling the potential continuation of the downtrend.
As with any trading tool, the AVAMI should not be used in isolation but in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and within the context of a well-defined trading plan.
ICT HTF Liquidity Levels /w Alert [MsF]Japanese below / 日本語説明は英文の後にあります。
-------------------------
*This indicator is based on sbtnc's "HTF Liquidity Levels". It's a very cool indicator. thank you.
It has 3 functions: visualization of HTF liquidity (with alert), candle color change when displacement occurs, and MSB (market structure break) line display.
=== Function description ===
1. HTF liquidity (with alert)
Lines visualize the liquidity pools on the HTF bars. Alerts can be set for each TF's line.
Once the price reaches the line, the line is repaint.
To put it plainly, the old line disappears and a new line appears. The line that disappeared remains as a purged line. (It is also possible to hide the purged line with a parameter)
The alert will be triggered at the moment the line disappears. An alert will be issued when you touch the HTF's liquid pools where the loss is accumulated, so you can notice the stop hunting with the alert.
This alert is an original feature of this indicator.
The timeframe of the HTF can't modify. You can get Monthly, weekly, daily and H1 and H4.
Each timeframe displays the 3 most recent lines. By narrowing it down to 3, it is devised to make it easier to see visually. (This indicator original)
2. Displacement
Change the color display of the candlesticks when a bullish candle stick or bearish candle stick is attached. Furthermore, by enabling the "Require FVG" option, you can easily discover the FVG (Fair Value Gap). It is a very useful function for ICT trading.
3. MSB (market structure break)
Displays High/Low lines for the period specified by the parameter. It is useful for discovering BoS & CHoCH/MSS, which are important in ICT trading.

このインジケータはsbtncさんの"HTF Liquidity Levels"をベースに作成しています。
上位足流動性の可視化（アラート付き）、変位発生時のローソク色変更、MSB(market structure break)ライン表示の３つの機能を有します。
＜機能説明＞
■上位足流動性の可視化
上位足の流動性の吹き溜まり（ストップが溜まっているところ）をラインで可視化します。ラインにはアラートを設定することが可能です。
一度価格がラインに到達するとそのラインは再描画されます。
平たく言うと、今までのラインが消えて新しいラインが出現する。という事です。
消えたラインはpurgeラインとして残ります。（パラメータでpurgeラインを非表示にすることも可能です）
アラートはラインが消える瞬間に発報します。上位足の損切り溜まってるところにタッチするとアラートを発報するので、アラートにてストップ狩りに気づくことができます。
このアラート発報については本インジケータオリジナルの機能となります。
表示可能な上位足のタイムフレームは固定です。月足、週足、日足およびH1とH4を表示することができます。
各タイムフレーム、直近から3つのラインを表示します。3つに絞ることで視覚的に見やすく工夫しています。（本インジケータオリジナル）
■変位発生時のローソク色変更
大きな陽線、陰線を付けた場合に、そのローソク足をカラー表示を変更します。
さらに"Require FVG"オプションを有効にすることで、FVG（Fair Value Gap）を容易に発見することができます。ICTトレードにを行うにあたり大変有用な機能となっています。
■MSB(market structure break)ライン表示
パラメータで指定した期間のHigh/Lowをライン表示します。ICTトレードで重要視しているBoS & CHoCH/MSSの発見に役立ちます。

London Breakout Structure by Ale📈 London Breakout Structure by Ale
This indicator identifies market structure breakouts (CHOCH/BOS) within a specific London session window, highlighting potential breakout trades with automatic entry, stop loss (SL), and take profit (TP) levels.
It helps traders focus on high-probability breakouts when volatility increases after the Asian session, using price structure, ATR-based volatility filters, and a custom risk/reward setup.
🔹 Example of Strategy Application
Define your session (e.g. 04:00 to 05:00).
Wait for a CHOCH (Change of Character) inside this session.
If a bullish CHOCH occurs → go LONG at candle close.
If a bearish CHOCH occurs → go SHORT at candle close.
SL is set below/above the previous swing using ATR × multiplier.
TP is calculated automatically based on your R:R ratio.
📊 Example:
When price breaks above the last swing high within the session, a “BUY” label appears and the indicator draws Entry, SL, and TP levels automatically.
If the breakout fails and price closes below the opposite structure, a “SELL” signal will replace the bullish setup.
🔹 Details
The logic is based on structural shifts (CHOCH/BOS):
A CHOCH occurs when price breaks and closes beyond the most recent high/low.
The indicator dynamically detects these shifts in structure, validating them only inside your chosen time window (e.g. the London Open).
The ATR filter ensures setups are valid only when the range has enough volatility, avoiding false signals in low-volume hours.
You can also visualize:
The session area (purple background)
Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit levels
Direction labels (BUY/SELL)
ATR line for volatility context
🔹 Configuration
Start / End Hour: define your preferred trading window.
ATR Length & Multiplier: adjust for volatility.
Risk/Reward Ratio: set your desired R:R (default 1:2).
Minimum Range Filter: avoids signals with tight SLs.
Alerts: receive notifications when breakout conditions occur.
🔹 Recommendations
Works best on 15m or 5m charts during London session.
Designed for breakout and structure-based traders.
Works on Forex, Crypto, and Indices.
Ideal as a visual and educational tool for understanding BOS/CHOCH behavior.

6. Best Practices {#best-practices}
✅ DO's:
1. Use Multiple Timeframes
Check higher timeframe for trend direction
Trade signals that align with higher timeframe
Example: 15m signals in direction of 1H trend
2. Combine with Key Levels
Support/resistance
Supply/demand zones
Previous day high/low
Round numbers (psychological levels)
3. Wait for Confirmation
Don't rush into trades
Let the signal candle close
Watch next candle for follow-through
4. Check the Metrics Table
Look at Relative Volume (should be >2.0)
Check Delta % (should be strong positive/negative)
Verify Order Flow aligns with signal
5. Consider Market Context
News events can override signals
Low liquidity times (lunch, overnight) less reliable
Major economic releases need caution
6. Paper Trade First
Test the indicator for 2-4 weeks
Learn how it behaves on your chosen assets
Develop confidence before using real money
Best Times to Trade:
Stock Market Hours:
9:30-11:30 AM EST (high volume, strong moves)
2:00-4:00 PM EST (institutional positioning)
Avoid: 11:30 AM-2:00 PM (lunch, low volume)
Forex:
London Open: 3:00-6:00 AM EST
New York Open: 8:00-11:00 AM EST
London/NY Overlap: 8:00 AM-12:00 PM EST
Crypto:
24/7 market, but highest volume during US/European hours
Watch for weekend low liquidity
7. Common Mistakes to Avoid {#mistakes}
❌ DON'T:
1. Trade Every Signal
Not all signals are equal
Focus on strength 4-5 signals
Wait for optimal setups
2. Ignore Market Structure
Don't buy into strong downtrends (catch falling knife)
Don't sell into strong uptrends (fight the tape)
Respect major support/resistance
3. Use Too Small Timeframes
1m and 2m charts are too noisy
Minimum recommended: 5m for scalping
Better: 15m, 30m, 1H for reliability
4. Overtrade
Quality over quantity
2-5 good trades per day is excellent
Forcing trades leads to losses
5. Ignore Risk Management
Always use stop losses
Risk only 1-2% per trade
Don't revenge trade after losses
6. Trade During Low Volume
Signals less reliable with low volume
Check Relative Volume metric (should be >1.5)
Avoid pre-market/after-hours for stocks
7. Misread Liquidity Grabs
Not every wick is a liquidity grab
Need volume confirmation
Must have institutional signal
Advanced Tips:
Filtering False Signals:
Use Signal Strength Filter:
Minimum strength 3 = Balanced
Minimum strength 4 = Conservative (recommended)
Minimum strength 5 = Ultra conservative
Confluence Checklist:
Signal strength ≥ 4
Relative volume > 2.0

Crypto Exchange PremiumDescription: Crypto Exchange Premium
The Crypto Exchange Premium indicator is designed to quantify and visualize price disparities between different types of crypto markets — specifically between spot and perpetual futures markets, or between any two customizable sources of price data. By consolidating live data from multiple major exchanges, it creates a unified, cross-market measure of premium (or discount), helping traders identify institutional activity (i. e. by comparing exchanges with high institutional activity against others), arbitrage opportunities, and shifts in market sentiment before they become visible in price action alone.
Concept and Purpose
In cryptocurrency markets, price divergence between spot and perpetual pairs reflects the real-time interaction of demand and liquidity across market segments.
When perpetual prices trade above spot, it implies aggressive long positioning or bullish leverage (positive funding expectations).
Conversely, when spot trades above perps, it may reflect net selling pressure in futures or strong spot accumulation.
Unlike most tools that rely on funding rates or open interest alone, this indicator measures the actual traded price spread dynamically across exchanges. This allows traders to visualize the “premium curve” of the crypto market in a clear, data-driven format.
How It Works
The indicator aggregates real-time prices from a wide selection of exchanges, normalizes them into groups, and computes the difference (“premium”) between two chosen reference markets.
1. Exchange Aggregation:
Users can toggle individual exchanges for both spot and perpetual aggregation groups.
The script automatically calculates group averages by dividing the sum of all enabled exchange prices by the number of valid feeds.
Non-USD exchanges (e.g., KRW pairs on Upbit or Bithumb) are automatically converted into USD using live FX data (USDKRW) for accurate normalization.
2. Flexible Comparison Logic:
Each leg of the comparison (First vs. Second Source) can be chosen as one of:
Local chart symbol
Custom symbol
Aggregated Spot group
Aggregated Perpetual group
This allows users to compare, for example:
Binance Spot vs. Global Perp Average
Coinbase Spot vs. Binance Perp
BTCUSD vs. BTCUSDT.P (or any cross-exchange combination)
3. Premium Calculation:
The final value is computed as:
Premium = First Source Price − Second Source Price
and is plotted as a histogram (positive = green, negative = red). This visual instantly shows whether the first source trades at a premium or discount relative to the second.
How to Use
Select Data Sources:
Configure the “First Symbol” and “Second Symbol” in the settings. For most use cases:
First Symbol → Perps (Aggregated)
Second Symbol → Spot (Aggregated)
Adjust Exchange Selection:
Enable or disable individual exchanges to fine-tune your data set. For instance, disabling Korean exchanges filters out regional FX distortions.
Originality and Value
While many exchange difference or “premium indicators” track one or two exchanges, this script introduces multi-exchange aggregation, cross-market normalization, and user-configurable pairing, resulting in a more holistic and accurate reflection of market structure.
It bridges a gap between macro market breadth and microstructural price dynamics, empowering traders to:
Detect arbitrage inefficiencies between spot and perps.
Track regional price dislocations (USD vs. KRW).
Gauge the intensity of speculative leverage over time.
Anticipate funding rate shifts and liquidation clusters before they happen.

Trend Pivots Profile [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Trend Pivots Profile is a dynamic volume profile tool that builds profiles around pivot points to reveal where liquidity accumulates during trend shifts. When the market is in an uptrend , the indicator generates profiles at low pivots . In a downtrend , it builds them at high pivots . Each profile is constructed using lower timeframe volume data for higher resolution, making it highly precise even in limited space. A colored trendline helps traders instantly recognize the prevailing trend and anticipate which type of profile (bullish or bearish) will form.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Pivot-Driven Profiles : Profiles are only created when a new pivot forms, aligning liquidity analysis with market structure shifts.
Trend-Contextual : Profiles form at low pivots in uptrends and at high pivots in downtrends.
Lower Timeframe Data : Volume and close values are pulled from smaller timeframes to provide detailed, high-resolution profiles inside larger pivot windows.
Adaptive Bin Sizing : Bin size is automatically calculated relative to ATR, ensuring consistent precision across different markets and volatility conditions.
Point of Control (PoC) : The highest-volume level within each profile is marked with a PoC line that extends until the next pivot forms.
Trendline Visualization : A wide, semi-transparent line follows the rolling average of highs and lows, colored blue in uptrends and orange in downtrends.
🔵 FEATURES
Pivot Length Control : Adjust how far back the script looks to detect pivots (e.g., length 5 → profiles cover 10 bars after pivot).
Pivot Profile toggle :
On → draw the filled pivot profile + PoC + pivot label.
Off → hide profiles; show only PoC level (clean S/R mode).
Trend Length Filter : Smooths trendline detection to ensure reliable up/down bias.
Precise Volume Distribution : Volume is aggregated into bins, creating a smooth volume curve around the pivot range.
PoC Extension : Automatically extends the most active price level until a new pivot is confirmed.
Profile Visualization : Profiles appear as filled shapes anchored at the pivot candle, colored based on trend.
Trendline Overlay : Thick, semi-transparent trendline provides visual guidance on directional bias.
Automatic Cleanup : Old profiles are deleted once they exceed the chart’s capacity (default 25 stored profiles).
🔵 HOW TO USE
Spotting Trend Liquidity : In an uptrend, monitor profiles at low pivots to see where buyers concentrated. In downtrends, use high-pivot profiles to spot sell-side pressure.
Watch the PoC : The PoC line highlights the strongest traded level of the pivot structure—expect reactions when price retests it.
Anticipate Trend Continuation/Reversal : Use the trendline (blue = bullish, orange = bearish) together with pivot profiles to forecast directional momentum.
Combine with HTF Context : Overlay with higher timeframe structure (order blocks, liquidity zones, or FVGs) for confluence.
Fine-Tune with Inputs : Adjust Pivot Length for sensitivity and Trend Length for smoother or faster trend shifts.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Trend Pivots Profile blends pivot-based structure with precise volume profiling. By dynamically plotting profiles on pivots aligned with the prevailing trend, highlighting PoCs, and overlaying a directional trendline, it equips traders with a clear view of liquidity clusters and directional momentum—ideal for anticipating reactions, pullbacks, or breakouts.

Originally developed by Japanese journalist Goichi Hosoda, the Ichimoku system combines multiple tools in one indicator, providing traders with instant insights into trend direction, support and resistance levels, and momentum. Unlike simple moving averages (SMA – Simple Moving Average), the Ichimoku Cloud (Kumo – Cloud) integrates dynamic elements that help traders forecast potential price action with greater clarity.
The Ichimoku Indicator (Ichimoku Signal System) is widely used across global markets, from Forex trading (FX – Foreign Exchange) to stocks, indices, and even cryptocurrencies. Its popularity comes from its ability to generate clear buy signals and sell signals based on the interaction of its components: Tenkan Sen (Conversion Line), Kijun Sen (Base Line), Senkou Span A, Senkou Span B, and Chikou Span (Lagging Line). When combined, these lines create the Ichimoku Cloud, which visually represents the balance between price action and market structure.
Ichimoku Cloud Lines Formulas :
Conversion Line (Tenkan Sen / Conversion Line) : Average of the highest high and lowest low over the past 9 periods => (9-PH + 9-PL) ÷ 2
Base Line (Kijun Sen / Base Line) : Average of the highest high and lowest low over the past 26 periods => (26-PH + 26-PL) ÷ 2
Leading Span A (Senkou Span A / Leading Span A) : Average of the Conversion Line and Base Line, plotted 26 periods ahead => (Tenkan Sen + Kijun Sen) ÷ 2
Leading Span B (Senkou Span B / Leading Span B) : Average of the highest high and lowest low over the past 52 periods, plotted 26 periods ahead => (52-PH + 52-PL) ÷ 2
Lagging Span (Chikou Span / Lagging Span) : Current closing price, plotted 26 periods behind.
One of the biggest advantages of the Ichimoku Trading Strategy (Ichimoku Cloud Trading System) is that it allows traders to identify the market condition at a glance. When the price is above the Kumo (Cloud), it indicates a bullish trend (uptrend). When the price is below the Kumo, the market is in a bearish trend (downtrend). And when the price is inside the cloud, the market is ranging (sideways trend). This simplicity and visual clarity make Ichimoku an essential indicator for both beginner traders and professional analysts.
The Ichimoku Cloud Indicator (Ichimoku Technical Analysis Tool) continues to be one of the most reliable charting methods. Traders often consider it superior to basic moving averages (MA – Moving Average) or exponential moving averages (EMA – Exponential Moving Average), because it not only shows trend direction but also highlights potential future support and resistance levels. With its unique combination of trend analysis, price forecasting, and trading signals, Ichimoku remains a core strategy in modern trading systems.
🔵 How to Use
The Ichimoku Cloud is more than just a set of lines; it’s a complete trading system that helps traders identify trends, momentum, and key support and resistance levels. By combining its five lines Conversion Line, Base Line, Leading Span A, Leading Span B, and Lagging Span traders can develop clear buy and sell strategies.
🟣 Identifying Trend Direction
Bullish Trend (Uptrend) : Price is above the cloud (Kumo), and the cloud is green. Leading Span A is above Leading Span B, signaling strong upward momentum.
Bearish Trend (Downtrend) : Price is below the cloud, and the cloud is red. Leading Span A is below Leading Span B, confirming a downward momentum.
Ranging / Sideways Market : Price is inside the cloud, indicating indecision and consolidation. Traders often avoid opening strong positions during these periods.
🟣 Buy Strategies
Conversion/Base Line Crossover : A buy signal occurs when the Conversion Line (Tenkan Sen) crosses above the Base Line (Kijun Sen). The signal is strongest when this crossover happens above the cloud.
Price Above Base Line : If the price moves above the Base Line while in an uptrend, it confirms bullish momentum and provides a favorable entry point.
Cloud Support Pullback : During a pullback in an uptrend, the price may touch or slightly enter the cloud. Traders can use the cloud as a dynamic support zone for buying opportunities.
Lagging Span Confirmation : Ensure the Lagging Span (Chikou Span) is above the price of 26 periods ago to confirm the strength of the bullish trend.
🟣 Sell Strategies
Conversion/Base Line Crossover : A sell signal is generated when the Conversion Line (Tenkan Sen) crosses below the Base Line (Kijun Sen). This signal is strongest when it occurs below the cloud.
Price Below Base Line : If the price falls below the Base Line in a downtrend, it confirms bearish momentum and strengthens the sell setup.
Cloud Resistance Pullback : During a bounce in a downtrend, the cloud acts as a resistance zone. Traders can enter sell positions when price approaches or touches the cloud from below.
Lagging Span Confirmation : The Lagging Span should be below the price of 26 periods ago, confirming downward momentum.
🟣 Cloud Breakout Signals
A strong buy occurs when the price breaks above the cloud from below, signaling a potential trend reversal.
A strong sell occurs when the price breaks below the cloud from above, indicating a shift toward a bearish trend.
🟣 Combining Signals for Stronger Entries
For higher probability trades, combine multiple signals : trend direction (cloud color and position), crossovers (Tenkan/Kijun), and Lagging Span position.
Avoid trading against the overall trend. For example, avoid buying when price is below a red cloud or selling when price is above a green cloud.
🔵 Setting
Tenkan Sen Period : Lookback period for Conversion Line (default: 9).
Kijun Sen Period : Lookback period for Base Line (default: 26).
Span B Period : Lookback period for Leading Span B, forms one Cloud boundary (default: 52).
Shift Lines : Periods forward for Cloud / backward for Lagging Span (default: 26).
Cross Tenkan/Kijun Alert : Alert on Conversion/Base Line crossover.
Cross Price/Tenkan Alert : Alert when price crosses Tenkan Sen.
Cross Price/Kijun Alert : Alert when price crosses Kijun Sen
🔵 Conclusion
The Ichimoku Cloud (Ichimoku Kinko Hyo) is much more than a simple indicator it is a complete trading system that combines trend detection, momentum analysis, and support/resistance identification in one view. By interpreting the position of price relative to the cloud, the interaction between Tenkan Sen (Conversion Line) and Kijun Sen (Base Line), the leading spans (Senkou Span A and B), and the Chikou Span (Lagging Line), traders can identify potential buy and sell opportunities with higher confidence.
The main advantage of the Ichimoku Cloud is its ability to provide a “one-look equilibrium” snapshot of the market. It highlights bullish trends when the price is above the cloud, bearish conditions when the price is below it, and indecision or transition when the price is inside the cloud. Crossovers, cloud breakouts, and confirmations by the Chikou Span strengthen the trading signals.
However, traders should keep in mind the limitations of the Ichimoku system. It is based on historical data and should not be used in isolation. Combining it with other tools such as RSI, volume analysis, or candlestick patterns can significantly improve accuracy and reduce false signals.
BayesStack RSI [CHE]BayesStack RSI — Stacked RSI with Bayesian outcome stats and gradient visualization
Summary
BayesStack RSI builds a four-length RSI stack and evaluates it with a simple Bayesian success model over a rolling window. It highlights bull and bear stack regimes, colors price with magnitude-based gradients, and reports per-regime counts, wins, and estimated win rate in a compact table. Signals seek to be more robust through explicit ordering tolerance, optional midline gating, and outcome evaluation that waits for events to mature by a fixed horizon. The design focuses on readable structure, conservative confirmation, and actionable context rather than raw oscillator flips.
Motivation: Why this design?
Classical RSI signals flip frequently in volatile phases and drift in calm regimes. Pure threshold rules often misclassify shallow pullbacks and stacked momentum phases. The core idea here is ordered, spaced RSI layers combined with outcome tracking. By requiring a consistent order with a tolerance and optionally gating by the midline, regime identification becomes clearer. A horizon-based maturation check and smoothed win-rate estimate provide pragmatic feedback about how often a given stack has recently worked.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Reference baseline: Traditional single-length RSI with overbought and oversold rules or simple crossovers.
Architecture differences:
Four fixed RSI lengths with strict ordering and a spacing tolerance.
Optional requirement that all RSI values stay above or below the midline for bull or bear regimes.
Outcome evaluation after a fixed horizon, then rolling counts and a prior-smoothed win rate.
Dispersion measurement across the four RSIs with a percent-rank diagnostic.
Gradient coloring of candles and wicks driven by stack magnitude.
A last-bar statistics table with counts, wins, win rate, dispersion, and priors.
Practical effect: Charts emphasize sustained momentum alignment instead of single-length crosses. Users see when regimes start, how strong alignment is, and how that regime has recently performed for the chosen horizon.
How it works (technical)
The script computes RSI on four lengths and forms a “stack” when they are strictly ordered with at least the chosen tolerance between adjacent lengths. A bull stack requires a descending set from long to short with positive spacing. A bear stack requires the opposite. Optional gating further requires all RSI values to sit above or below the midline.
For evaluation, each detected stack is checked again after the horizon has fully elapsed. A bull event is a success if price is higher than it was at event time after the horizon has passed. A bear event succeeds if price is lower under the same rule. Rolling sums over the training window track counts and successes; a pair of priors stabilizes the win-rate estimate when sample sizes are small.
Dispersion across the four RSIs is measured and converted to a percent rank over a configurable window. Gradients for bars and wicks are normalized over a lookback, then shaped by gamma controls to emphasize strong regimes. A statistics table is created once and updated on the last bar to minimize overhead. Overlay markers and wick coloring are rendered to the price chart even though the indicator runs in a separate pane.
Parameter Guide
Source — Input series for RSI. Default: close. Tips: Use typical price or hlc3 for smoother behavior.
Overbought / Oversold — Guide levels for context. Defaults: seventy and thirty. Bounds: fifty to one hundred, zero to fifty. Tips: Narrow the band for faster feedback.
Stacking tolerance (epsilon) — Minimum spacing between adjacent RSIs to qualify as a stack. Default: zero point twenty-five RSI points. Trade-off: Higher values reduce false stacks but delay entries.
Horizon H — Bars ahead for outcome evaluation. Default: three. Trade-off: Longer horizons reduce noise but delay success attribution.
Rolling window — Lookback for counts and wins. Default: five hundred. Trade-off: Longer windows stabilize the win rate but adapt more slowly.
Alpha prior / Beta prior — Priors used to stabilize the win-rate estimate. Defaults: one and one. Trade-off: Larger priors reduce variance with sparse samples.
Show RSI 8/13/21/34 — Toggle raw RSI lines. Default: on.
Show consensus RSI — Weighted combination of the four RSIs. Default: on.
Show OB/OS zones — Draw overbought, oversold, and midline. Default: on.
Background regime — Pane background tint during bull or bear stacks. Default: on.
Overlay regime markers — Entry markers on price when a stack forms. Default: on.
Show statistics table — Last-bar table with counts, wins, win rate, dispersion, priors, and window. Default: on.
Bull requires all above fifty / Bear requires all below fifty — Midline gate. Defaults: both on. Trade-off: Stricter regimes, fewer but cleaner signals.
Enable gradient barcolor / wick coloring — Gradient visuals mapped to stack magnitude. Defaults: on. Trade-off: Clearer regime strength vs. extra rendering cost.
Collection period — Normalization window for gradients. Default: one hundred. Trade-off: Shorter values react faster but fluctuate more.
Gamma bars and shapes / Gamma plots — Curve shaping for gradients. Defaults: zero point seven and zero point eight. Trade-off: Higher values compress weak signals and emphasize strong ones.
Gradient and wick transparency — Visual opacity controls. Defaults: zero.
Up/Down colors (dark and neon) — Gradient endpoints. Defaults: green and red pairs.
Fallback neutral candles — Directional coloring when gradients are off. Default: off.
Show last candles — Limit for gradient squares rendering. Default: three hundred thirty-three.
Dispersion percent-rank length / High and Low thresholds — Window and cutoffs for dispersion diagnostics. Defaults: two hundred fifty, eighty, and twenty.
Table X/Y, Dark theme, Text size — Table anchor, theme, and typography. Defaults: right, top, dark, small.
Reading & Interpretation
RSI stack lines: Alignment and spacing convey regime quality. Wider spacing suggests stronger alignment.
Consensus RSI: A single line that summarizes the four lengths; use as a smoother reference.
Zones: Overbought, oversold, and midline provide context rather than standalone triggers.
Background tint: Indicates active bull or bear stack.
Markers: “Bull Stack Enter” or “Bear Stack Enter” appears when the stack first forms.
Gradients: Brighter tones suggest stronger stack magnitude; dull tones suggest weak alignment.
Table: Count and Wins show sample size and successes over the window. P(win) is a prior-stabilized estimate. Dispersion percent rank near the high threshold flags stretched alignment; near the low threshold flags tight clustering.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Enter only on new stack markers aligned with structure such as higher highs and higher lows for bull, or lower lows and lower highs for bear. Use the consensus RSI to avoid chasing into overbought or oversold extremes.
Exits and stops: Consider reducing exposure when dispersion percent rank reaches the high threshold or when the stack loses ordering. Use the table’s P(win) as a context check rather than a direct signal.
Multi-asset and multi-timeframe: Defaults travel well on liquid assets from intraday to daily. Combine with higher-timeframe structure or moving averages for regime confirmation. The script itself does not fetch higher-timeframe data.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint and confirmation: Stack markers evaluate on the live bar and can flip until close. Alert behavior follows TradingView settings. Outcome evaluation uses matured events and does not look into the future.
HTF and security: Not used. Repaint paths from higher-timeframe aggregation are avoided by design.
Resources: max bars back is two thousand. The script uses rolling sums, percent rank, gradient rendering, and a last-bar table update. Shapes and colored wicks add draw overhead.
Known limits: Lag can appear after sharp turns. Very small windows can overfit recent noise. P(win) is sensitive to sample size and priors. Dispersion normalization depends on the collection period.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with the shipped defaults.
Too many flips: Increase stacking tolerance, enable midline gates, or lengthen the collection period.
Too sluggish: Reduce stacking tolerance, shorten the collection period, or relax midline gates.
Sparse samples: Extend the rolling window or increase priors to stabilize P(win).
Visual overload: Disable gradient squares or wick coloring, or raise transparency.

CVD Divergences (cdikici71 x tncylyv)CVD Divergence
Summary
This indicator brings the powerful and creative divergence detection logic from @cdikici71's popular "cd_RSI_Divergence_Cx" script to the world of volume analysis.
While RSI is a fantastic momentum tool, I personally choose to rely on volume as a primary source of truth. This script was born from the desire to see how true buying and selling pressure—measured by Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)—diverges from price action. It takes the brilliant engine built by @cdikici71 and applies it to CVD, offering a unique look into market conviction.
What is Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)?
CVD is a running total of volume that transacted at the ask price (buying) minus volume that transacted at the bid price (selling). In simple terms, it shows whether buyers or sellers have been more aggressive over a period. A rising CVD suggests net buying pressure, while a falling CVD suggests net selling pressure.
Core Features
• Divergence Engine by @cdikici71: The script uses the exact same two powerful methods for finding divergences as the original RSI version:
o Alignment with HTF Sweep: The default, cleaner method for finding high-probability divergences.
o All: A more sensitive method that finds all possible divergences.
• Anchored CVD Periods: You can choose to reset the CVD calculation on a Daily, Weekly, or Monthly basis to analyze buying and selling pressure within specific periods. Or, you can leave it on Continuous to see the all-time flow.
• Automatic Higher Timeframe (HTF) Alignment: To remove the guesswork, the "Auto-Align HTF" option will automatically select a logical higher timeframe for divergence analysis based on your current chart (e.g., 15m chart uses 4H for divergence, 1H chart uses 1D, etc.). You can also turn this off for full manual control.
• Fully Customizable Information Table: An on-screen table keeps you updated on the divergence status. You can easily adjust its Position and Size in the settings to fit your chart layout.
• Built-in Alerts: Alerts are configured for both Bullish and Bearish divergences to notify you as soon as they occur.
How to Use This Indicator
The principle is the same as any divergence strategy, but with the conviction of volume behind it.
• 🔴 Bearish Divergence: Price makes a Higher High, but the CVD makes a Lower High or an equal high. This suggests that the buying pressure is weakening and may not be strong enough to support the new price high.
• 🟢 Bullish Divergence: Price makes a Lower Low, but the CVD makes a Higher Low or an equal low. This suggests that selling pressure is exhausting and the market may be ready for a reversal.
Always use divergence signals as a confluence with your own analysis, support/resistance levels, and market structure.
Huge Thanks and Credit
This script would not exist without the brilliant and creative work of @cdikici71. The entire divergence detection engine, the visualization style, and the core logic are based on his original masterpiece, "cd_RSI_Divergence_Cx". I have simply adapted his framework to a different data source.
If you find this indicator useful, please go and show your support for his original work!

Initial Balance SMC-V3
Initial Balance SMC-V3 – An Advanced Mean Reversion Indicator for Index Markets
The Initial Balance SMC-V3 indicator is the result of continuous refinement in mean reversion trading, with a specific focus on index markets (such as DAX, NASDAQ, S&P 500, etc.). Designed for high-liquidity environments with controlled volatility, it excels at precisely identifying value zones and statistical reversal points within market structure.
🔁 Mean Reversion at Its Core
At the heart of this indicator lies a robust mean reversion logic: rather than chasing extreme breakouts, it seeks returns toward equilibrium levels after impulsive moves. This makes it especially effective in ranging markets or corrective phases within broader trends—situations where many traders get caught in false breakouts.
🎯 Signals Require Breakout + Confirmation
Signals are never generated impulsively. Instead, they require a clear sequence of confirmations:
Break of a key level (e.g., Initial Balance high/low or an SMC zone);
Price re-entry into the range accompanied by a crossover of customizable moving averages (SMA, EMA, HULL, TEMA, etc.);
RSI filter to avoid entries in overbought/oversold extremes;
Volatility filter (ATR) to skip low-volatility, choppy conditions.
This multi-layered approach drastically reduces false signals and significantly improves trade quality.
📊 Built-in Multi-Timeframe Analysis
The indicator features native multi-timeframe logic:
H1 / 15-minute charts: for structural analysis and identification of Supply & Demand zones (SMC);
M1 / M5 charts: for precise trade execution, with targeted entries and dynamic risk management.
SMC zones are calculated on higher timeframes (e.g., 4H) to ensure structural reliability, while actual trade signals trigger on lower timeframes for maximum precision.
⚙️ Advanced Customization
Full choice of moving average type (SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, VWMA, HULL, TEMA, ZLEMA, etc.);
Revenge Trading logic: after a stop loss is hit without reaching the 1:1 breakeven level, the indicator automatically prepares for a counter-trade;
Dynamic ATR-based stop loss with customizable multiplier;
Session filters to trade only during optimal liquidity windows (e.g., European session).
🧠 Who Is It For?
This indicator is ideal for traders who:
Primarily trade indices;
Prefer mean reversion strategies over pure trend-following;
Seek a disciplined, rule-based system with multiple confluence filters;
Use a multi-timeframe approach to separate analysis from execution.
In short: Initial Balance SMC-V3 is more than just an indicator—it’s a complete trading framework for mean reversion on index markets, where every signal emerges from a confluence of statistical, structural, and temporal factors.
Happy trading! 📈
