FVG Chain (Consecutive Fair Value Gaps / Imbalances)This indicator detects fair value gaps that are created out of the touch of older fair value gaps, hence creating an "FVG chain".
It counts +1 for the chain whenever a new price leg's FVG is touched.
You can use the current FVG Chain count, as well as the high, low, and price leg high/low of the current FVG as input source in external indicators. Check the data window to see the plot values.
How FVGs are detected:
Bullish: The low of the current confirmed bar is above the high of 2 bars back.
Bearish: The high of the current confirmed bar is below the low of 2 bars back.
A bullish FVG chain is broken if:
The current FVG's price leg low is broken.
The previous bar closed below the FVG, and the current confirmed bar closed below the previous bar.
A bearish FVG chain is broken if:
The current FVG's price leg high is broken.
The previous bar closed above the FVG, and the current confirmed bar closed above the previous bar.

Supply and Demand Plus [tambangEA]The Supply and Demand Plus is an advanced version of the highly-regarded Supply and Demand indicator
Designed to offer additional functionality for professional traders. Building on the core features of the original script, the "Plus" version incorporates enhanced zone selection capabilities and multi-timeframe Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). This makes it a versatile tool for those who seek to refine their trading strategies using supply and demand principles while integrating trend-following techniques.
🔹 New Capabilities in Supply and Demand Plus
1. Customizable Zone Selection:
Users can now choose which specific zones to display on the chart:
Continuation Trader
-Rally-Base-Rally (RBR): Bullish continuation zones.
-Drop-Base-Drop (DBD): Bearish continuation zones.
Contrarian Trader
-Drop-Base-Rally (DBR): Bullish reversal zones.
-Rally-Base-Drop (RBD): Bearish reversal zones.
This feature allows traders to filter the zones relevant to their strategy, reducing chart clutter and enhancing focus.
2. Multi-Timeframe EMAs:
🔹 The Meeting Zone: "Base"
-The meeting zone is where supply meets demand, often referred to as the equilibrium price range. In this range:
-Sellers are willing to sell at prices buyers are willing to pay.
-Trading volume is usually higher as transactions occur more frequently.
-On the candle chart, this area may appear as sideways movement (consolidation) or regions with balanced candle sizes and wicks, signaling relative agreement between buyers and sellers.
🔹 Key Observations in Candle Charts
-Breakouts: When prices break out of a meeting zone, they indicate that one side (buyers or sellers) has gained significant control. This can lead to new supply or demand zones.
-Retests: Often, prices return to test these zones (called pullbacks) before continuing in the dominant direction. Retests confirm the strength of a supply or demand zone.
-Volume Spikes: High trading volumes near these zones signify active participation and can validate the importance of the zone.
The indicator includes five Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) that can be plotted across different timeframes simultaneously. This enables traders to:
Track trend strength and direction across multiple timeframes.
Identify dynamic support and resistance levels.
Combine EMA signals with supply and demand zones for confluence-based trading decisions.
EMA Settings:
Fully customizable periods (e.g., EMA 20, 50, 100, etc.).
Adjustable colors and thickness for each EMA.
Multi-timeframe capability to analyze higher or lower timeframes without changing the chart.
🔹 How It Works :
The script works through a series of processes:
1.Zone Identification:
-Uses historical price patterns and pivot levels to map out supply and demand zones.
-Zones dynamically adjust to reflect market conditions, staying relevant to current price action.
-The color of the Zone can be set individually
2.Volume and Market Context:
-Integrates volume analysis to filter out weaker zones.
-Highlights zones with confluence between high volume and price rejections, signaling areas of strong institutional interest.
3.Trend Integration:
-Employs proprietary logic to assess market trends, ensuring that traders only act on zones aligned with broader momentum.
-This feature minimizes counter-trend trades, which are inherently riskier.
4.User Customization:
-Fully customizable zone sensitivity, timeframe settings, and visual preferences allow traders to adapt the tool to their strategy.
Four EMAs in sequence from Chart EMAs to Daily EMA are indicators of a strong trend
The "Base" zone of RBR and DBD supported by Daily EMAs within the zone,
is a strong meeting of buyers and sellers in the past.
Zone can be calibrated how many percent comparison of open close candle to high low candle
the number of candles in Base can be set to the maximum number of candles
🔹 Utility for Traders
The indicator provides a clear roadmap for traders by:
-Identifying high-probability trade zones.
-Confirming entries with volume and trend data.
-Offering actionable insights in both trending and ranging markets.
🔹 Why It Stands Out
Unlike generic supply and demand indicators or trend-following tools, Supply and Demand Plus incorporates an original approach by:
-Seamlessly combining zone identification, volume analysis, and trend confirmation into a single cohesive tool.
-Adapting dynamically to changing market conditions.
-Supporting advanced traders with MTFA, while remaining accessible to beginners with its intuitive design.
Example : Continuation Trader + Retests
The idea is when the "Base" zone occurs, then there is a meeting between buyers and sellers with a large enough volume and will leave a trace in the past.
In accordance with one of the principles in Dow Theory, namely History Repeats Itself, the price will return to the "Base" zone, before continuing the trend

After
🔹 Update and Versioning
This script is an evolution of previous Supply and Demand tools, incorporating valuable user feedback and innovative features. All future updates, including improvements and new functionalities, will be integrated within this script under the Update feature, ensuring continuity and ease of access for users.
🔹 Conclusion
We believe that success lies in the association of the user with the indicator, opposed to many traders who have the perspective that the indicator itself can make them become profitable. The reality is much more complicated than that.
The aim is to provide an indicator comprehensive, customizable, and intuitive enough that any trader can be led to understand this truth and develop an actionable perspective of technical indicators as support tools for decision making.

Liquidity Zones [BigBeluga]This indicator is designed to detect liquidity zones on the chart by identifying significant pivot highs and lows filtered by volume strength. It plots these zones as boxes, highlighting areas where liquidity is likely to accumulate. The indicator also draws lines extending from these boxes, marking the levels where price may "grab" this liquidity. The size of these boxes can be dynamic, adjusting based on the volume size, offering a visual representation of market areas where traders might expect significant price reactions.
🔵 IDEA
The idea behind the Liquidity Zones indicator is to help traders identify key market levels where liquidity accumulates. Liquidity zones are areas where there are enough buy or sell orders that can potentially lead to significant price movements. By focusing on pivot points filtered by volume strength, the indicator aims to provide a clearer picture of where large players may have positioned their orders. This insight allows traders to anticipate potential market reactions, such as reversals or breakouts, when the price reaches these zones. The option for dynamic box height further refines the visualization, showing the extent of liquidity based on the volume's intensity.
🔵 KEY FEATURES & USAGE
◉ Volume-Filtered Pivot Highs and Lows:
The indicator scans for pivot highs and lows on the chart, filtering these points based on the volume strength setting (Low, Mid, High). This ensures that only the most significant liquidity zones, backed by notable trading volume, are highlighted. Traders can adjust the filter to focus on different levels of market activity, from small fluctuations to major volume spikes.
Low:
Mid:
High:
◉ Dynamic and Static Liquidity Zones:
Liquidity zones are plotted as boxes around pivot points, with an optional dynamic mode that adjusts the box height based on the normalized volume. This dynamic adjustment reflects the liquidity carried by the volume, making it easier to gauge the significance of each zone. In static mode, the boxes have a fixed height, providing a consistent visual reference for the zones.
◉ Color Intensity Based on Volume:
The indicator adjusts the color intensity of the liquidity zones based on the volume strength. Higher volume zones will be displayed with more intense colors, giving a visual cue to the strength of the liquidity present in that area. This makes it easier to differentiate between zones of varying importance at a glance, allowing traders to quickly identify where the market has the highest concentration of liquidity.
◉ Liquidity Grab Detection and Red Circles:
When the price interacts with a liquidity zone, the indicator detects whether liquidity has been "grabbed" at these levels. If the price moves into a zone and crosses a level, the box label changes to "Liquidity Grabbed," and the line marking the level becomes dashed.
Reversal Points:
The beginning of a trend:
Additionally marks these "liquidity grabs" with red circles, indicating both recent and past liquidity grabs. This feature helps traders identify areas where liquidity has been absorbed by the market, which may signal potential reversals or shifts in market direction.
◉ Dashboard Display:
A dashboard in the upper right corner of the chart provides an overview of the indicator's settings and status. It shows the number of plotted zones, as set in the input settings, and whether the dynamic mode is active. This quick reference helps traders stay informed about the indicator's configuration without needing to open the settings panel.
🔵 CUSTOMIZATION
Length & Zones Amount: Set the length for pivot detection and the maximum number of zones to be displayed on the chart. This allows you to control how many liquidity zones you want to monitor at any given time.
Volume Strength Filter: Adjust the filter to Low, Mid, or High to control the strength of volume required for a pivot to be considered a significant liquidity zone. Higher settings focus on zones with greater volume, indicating stronger liquidity.
Dynamic Distance Mode: Enable or disable the dynamic mode, which adjusts the box height based on the volume size. When dynamic mode is off, the boxes have a fixed height based on the ATR, offering a consistent visualization regardless of the volume size.
The Liquidity Zones indicator is a versatile tool for identifying areas of significant market activity, offering a clear view of where liquidity is likely to reside. By filtering these zones through volume strength and providing dynamic or static visualization options, it equips traders with insights into potential market reaction points, enhancing their ability to anticipate and respond to market movements. The varying color intensity based on volume further aids in quickly recognizing the most critical liquidity zones on the chart.
Price Action SuiteThe TRN Price Action Suite incorporates a treasure trove of time and price action concepts. It includes a set of trading tools that, when combined, allow for a more accurate view of the market. This enables traders to find high probability entry points before the market moves to the next liquidation level.
Features of the TRN Price Action Suite:
(Inverse) Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Order Blocks (OB)
FVG and OB with Cumulative Volume Delta
Volume Imbalances
Market Structure
Liquidity levels
Sessions
Kill zones/Opening Range
The indicator helps traders to easily identify favorable market conditions and high probability trade setups. It automatically finds time and price action concepts and displays them in an intuitive way on the chart. One of the highlights is the detection of Fair Value Gaps and Order Blocks in connection with Cumulative Volume Delta (approx.). You will not find this connection anywhere else.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
A fair value gap occurs when there are inefficiencies in the market or imbalanced buying and selling pressures. Fair value gaps can become a magnet for the price before continuing in the same direction. Special attention should be paid to FVGs that are supported by support and resistance levels, as these offer a higher probability of success for trades. Additionally, the indicator plots inverse FVG (iFVG). These are FVG that are “closed” by a FVG in the other direction. IFVGs are a strong sign of the market to continue in the direction of the iFVG.
In addition to the FVGs you see on the chart, you can add also FVGs from a higher timeframe including the cumulative buy/sell volume. For this you can set “Timeframe 1” and “Timeframe 2” in the settings to your preferred timeframes. E.g. you trade on a 5-minute chart, and you want to see FVGs from 4 hours and a daily chart, then you set Timeframe 1 to 4 h and to Timeframe 2 to 1 D.
Order Blocks and Volume Imbalances can also be shown from higher timeframes.
Order Blocks (OBs)
Order blocks are areas on the chart where a high concentration of limit orders was found in the past. They can serve as potential support or resistance areas. These represent areas in the market where there is an oversupply (supply) or an excess demand (demand). They are often key zones for potential turning points or continuations of the current trend. A bullish OB, for example, is the last bearish candle before a significant uptrend.
FVGs and OBs with Cumulative Volume Delta
The TRN Price Action Suite can show FVGs and OBs with the corresponding Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD). It is a metric to analyze market dynamics by tracking the net difference between buying and selling volumes over a specific timeframe. It is used to determine the strength of the FVG/OB. The FVG/OB includes two bars on the left side, indicating the cumulative buy volume in green as well es the cumulative sell volume in red. At the right side of the FVG/OB box the ratio of the cumulative buy/sell volume is displayed. A high ratio over 1, for example 1.5, indicates a lot of buying pressure. On the hand, a ratio far below 1, for example 0.66, indicates a lot of selling pressure.
Volume Imbalances (VIBs)
Volume Imbalances indicate a price gap from the previous close, but unlike gaps, there is no absence of trading activity within a specific price range. Bullish VIs have opening and closing prices above the previous close, with overlap between the current low and previous high. Bearish VIs are vice versa.
Market Structure
The market structure represents the dominant trend in the market. It is based on swing highs and lows. For instance, if the price makes higher highs (HH) and higher lows (HL) the market structure represents an uptrend. Vice versa if price makes lower lows (LL) and lower highs (LH) the market trend is down.
If the market structure is up, traders can enter positions in a pullback. For this, a trader could use a FVG or an OB as an entry condition.
Market Structure Shift (MSS) (Change of Character (ChoCh))
A market structure shift occurs when the market transitions from one dominant trend to a different one, often signaling a potential change in the underlying market dynamics. A MSS signals the start of a new trend. It signals the change from an uptrend to a down trend and vice versa. Therefore, it is sometimes called change of character (ChoCh). A valid MSS should ideally occur in a strong supply or demand zone. This indicates that the market may be approaching a trend reversal or consolidation.
Break of Structure (BOS)
A break of structure happens when the market breaks out of its established trading range or pattern. The market continues its dominant trend, indicated by the last MSS.
In an uptrend, for example, each time the price breaks through a new high, a "bullish BOS" is formed. This indicates that the market can overcome previous resistance levels and continue to rise.
Levels
One core concept in trading is that price flows to areas of liquidity. Natural liquidity areas are the current day open, high, low (CDO, CDH, CDL) or the previous day high, low, close (PDH, PDL, PDC). The same is true for the current week (CWO, CWH, CWL) and the previous week (PWH, PWL, PWC).
Pay special attention in case some of these levels are close together. Then these levels serve like a magnet for the price. The TRN Price Action Suite indicator can cluster these levels fully automatically together to give the trader the flexibility to focus solely on the trading part.
Sessions
Sessions are the trading hours during which the banks are actively trading. The three main trading sessions:
Asia: Most of the volume from the Asian players are handled within this session.
London: This is where the European players are most active.
New York: In the New York session all the USA players are active as well as all the other American players. Furthermore, a lot of global players are active in this session as well.
Killzones
A kill zone in trading refers to a specific time period during the trading day when the market experiences increased volatility and liquidity. It is an opportunity for traders to capitalize on potential price movements and generate profits. There are several different killzones during the day.
There are three different types of killzones:
Indices/Futures: This one is suitable if you trade products like the ES, NQ, FDAX, CL or Stocks, Options.
Forex: If you trade Forex this setting will mark the most liquid periods of the day.
Opening Range: In case you trade the opening range of the sessions, use this setting.

[UST] Protein+Support/Resistance Script: A Comprehensive Overview
Thanks to Pmgjiv for providing the foundation to this improved Version.
In the world of trading, having a robust support and resistance analysis tool can make a significant difference in decision-making and overall strategy. Let's delve into the enhancements made to the support/resistance script and how each component contributes to a trader's arsenal:
Changes and improvements made for the script to help Traders make better rational decisions in their Trading:
1. Multiple Timeframes:
Integrating multiple timeframes into the analysis provides a multi-dimensional view of the market. Traders can now assess price action across different time horizons simultaneously. This feature allows for a deeper understanding of market dynamics and helps in identifying significant support and resistance levels across various timeframes.
2. Timeframe Labels Inside Zones:
By including timeframe labels within the zones, traders can easily identify the origin of each support or resistance level. This contextual information enhances clarity and facilitates more informed decision-making, especially when navigating through multiple timeframes.
3. Visual Zone Update:
Visual updates on zones enable traders to track changes in support and resistance levels in real-time. This dynamic feature enhances the analytical process by providing immediate insights into evolving market conditions, thereby enabling traders to adapt their strategies accordingly.
4. Zones Hit:
Understanding the frequency and intensity of zone hits offers valuable insights into the strength and relevance of support and resistance levels. Traders can gauge the significance of each zone based on its historical interaction with price, thereby gaining a deeper understanding of market sentiment and potential trading opportunities.
5. Option to Turn off Current Timeframe:
The ability to toggle off the current timeframe streamlines chart analysis by focusing only on the most critical support and resistance zones. This decluttering feature helps traders prioritize key levels, reducing cognitive overload and enhancing decision-making efficiency.
Explanation of Additional Functions:
a. Lookback:
The 'lookback' parameter allows traders to customize the age of support and resistance zones based on their trading style and preferences. By adjusting the lookback setting, traders can choose whether to prioritize recent price action or consider historical data, thus tailoring the analysis to their specific trading strategies.
b. Swinglength:
Swinglength determines the sensitivity of the support and resistance zones. By modifying this parameter, traders can control how aggressively the script identifies pivot points. A higher swinglength value results in smoother, more stable zones, whereas a lower value increases sensitivity, capturing smaller price movements.
c. ZigZag Indicator:
The ZigZag indicator plays a pivotal role in identifying significant price reversals. Its period setting determines the number of price bars considered before confirming a pivot point. Traders can utilize this indicator to identify key turning points in the market, aiding in the identification of robust support and resistance levels.
Impact of Sensitivity on Zones:
Adjusting the sensitivity of the ZigZag indicator directly influences the identification and delineation of support and resistance zones. Higher sensitivity levels result in fewer but more robust zones, capturing significant price movements. Conversely, lower sensitivity levels yield more zones, accommodating smaller price fluctuations but potentially introducing noise into the analysis.
d. S/R Range:
The ability to adjust the width of support and resistance zones allows traders to customize the breadth of key areas on a chart. Choosing a wider range encompasses a broader spectrum of prices, thereby identifying more comprehensive support and resistance levels. This flexibility enables traders to adapt their analysis to different market conditions and trading strategies.
Utilization in Trading:
Comprehensive Analysis: By incorporating multiple timeframes, traders gain a holistic view of market dynamics, enabling them to identify high-probability trading opportunities across various horizons.
Contextual Understanding: Timeframe labels within zones provide context, helping traders understand the significance of each level in relation to different timeframes and market conditions.
Real-time Adaptability: Visual zone updates facilitate real-time analysis, allowing traders to adjust their strategies promptly in response to changing market conditions.
Informed Decision-making: By considering zone hits, traders can assess the strength and relevance of support and resistance levels, enhancing their ability to make informed trading decisions.
Customized Analysis: Adjustable parameters such as lookback, swinglength, and sensitivity empower traders to tailor the analysis to their individual trading styles and preferences, enhancing precision and effectiveness.
In summary, these enhancements to the support/resistance script provide traders with a powerful toolkit for analyzing market dynamics, identifying key levels, and executing well-informed trading strategies across various timeframes and market conditions.
ICT Unicorn Model [LuxAlgo]The ICT Unicorn Model indicator highlights the presence of "unicorn" patterns on the user's chart which is derived from the lectures of "The Inner Circle Trader" (ICT) .
Detected patterns are followed by targets with a distance controlled by the user.
🔶 USAGE
At its core, the ICT Unicorn Model relies on two popular concepts, Fair Value Gaps and Breaker Blocks. This combination highlights a future area of support/resistance.
A Bullish Unicorn Pattern consists out of:
A Lower Low (LL), followed by a Higher High (HH)
A Fair Value Gap (FVG), overlapping the established Breaker Block
A successful re-test of the FVG which confirms the pattern.
A Bearish Unicorn Pattern consists of:
A Higher High (HH), followed by a Lower Low (LL)
A Fair Value Gap (FVG), overlapping the established Breaker Block
A successful re-test of the FVG which confirms the pattern
The pattern detection depends on detected swings, which can be controlled by the Swing setting. Using higher values of this setting will return longer-term breaker blocks.
🔹 Using Risk/Reward Targets
A confirmed Unicorn pattern will show a blue ( Target ) / grey ( Stop Loss) "Risk/Reward" areas (RR).
When the Stop Loss or Target is hit, a white line is shown on the concerned side.
The Risk/Reward ratio can be adjusted in the "Targets" settings.
🔹 Trailing Stop
As seen in the previous snapshots, besides the RR areas, this indicator also includes an optional Trailing Stop .
This can be helpful to lower your risk, by exiting earlier than if you would wait until the Stop Loss is hit.
This example shows a successful bullish and bearish Unicorn Pattern . In this scenario, the Trailing Stop could be used for partial Take Profit.
The goal of this publication is to show confirmed Unicorn Patterns . To increase the chance of success, it is important to evaluate the bigger picture & use this in confluence with your price action analysis. For example, look for potential areas of liquidity, consider this pattern only during certain market sessions, avoid trading during heavy impact news, &/or incorporate other aspects of technical analysis rather than just following this pattern blindly.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Combine
When disabled, all potential Unicorn Patterns will delete previous unconfirmed patterns:
Enabling Combine ensures the last Unicorn Patterns in the opposite direction will remain.
While the latter bullish pattern became invalid, another one formed.
The combination of the previous bearish pattern, and looking at the big picture, the bullish pattern did not have much chance to be successful.
While disabling 'combine' helps minimize clutter, enabling this feature can give a pattern more chance to hit the SL/Target level.
🔹 Mitigated FVG
Users can determine if a pattern becomes invalid due to a mitigated FVG, causing the pattern to be deleted.
🔹 New pattern detected
When a new pattern is detected, the previous unconfirmed pattern in the same direction (bullish - bullish or bearish - bearish) will be deleted. This will always be the case, whether "Combine' is enabled or disabled.
When the previous pattern was confirmed but no SL or Target level was hit, this pattern will stop updating.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Unicorn
Swings: This sets the length of swings, used for the underlying ZigZag and Unicorn Patterns detection.
Bull: Enable/disable Bullish patterns, and set the color of FVG box and Trailing Stop .
Bear: Enable/disable Bearish patterns, and set the color of FVG box and Trailing Stop .
Combine: When enabled, patterns in opposite directions (bullish/bearish) can exist at the same time. disabling this feature tends to give less clutter. See the "Usage" section for more information.
🔹 Targets
Risk/Reward: Sets the Risk/Reward ratio.
Trailing Stop: Set the length of small swings, which is used for the Trailing Stop .
itradesize /\ IPDA Look Back - for any timeframeThe script automatically calculates the 20-40-60 look-back periods and their premium and discount ranges.
The base concept is from ICT’s IPDA which should be applied to the daily timeframe but now you can use that same concept on the lower timeframes .
The higher the timeframes you use the more reliable it will be ( when we are talking about lower timeframes than Daily ).
- With the use of the indicator you can apply it on any timeframe with ease.
- You can customize the coloring of premium & discount, frame lines, and even the look of it.
- Hide or show the EQ levels
Below the IPDA texts the indicator shows the actual percentage of the selected range based on the current price fluctuations.
The script handles the 20-40-60 days look-back as fractals so it can be applied on lower timeframes.
The basics:
- The Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm (IPDA): The algorithm creates a shift on the daily chart every 20, 40, and 60 trading days.
- These are the IPDA look-back periods. Every 20 trading days or so there is a new liquidity pool forming on both sides of the market based on ICT concepts.
- Determine the IPDA Data Range of the land 20 trading days.
- Note the highest high & lowest low in the past 20 trading days. Identify the institutional order flow and mark the relevant PD arrays in the selected IPDA look-back period we deemed useful for our trading style.
- This is your current dealing range.
- If the price consolidates for 20 days, consider switching to a 40-day look back.
Inside this dealing range, we look for the next draw on liquidity. Is it reaching for a liquidity pool or is it looking to rebalance at a particular PD Array. This is going to the Bias.
Which IPDA data range should you use?
IPDA20 can be our Short Term range - fit for intraday traders at most
IPDA40 can be our Swing Trade range - have a clear indication of the market profile
IPDA60 can be our range for position trading - have a clear indication of the market profile
Market Structure (Breakers) [LuxAlgo]The Market Structure (Breakers) indicator aims to detect "Breaker Market Structures", an original concept inspired by breaker blocks, and extend on the original concept of market structures by extending existing MS levels, providing supports/resistances as a result.
Various graphical elements are included that highlight the interactions between price and Breaker structures.
🔶 USAGE
Breaker structures occur when a market structure is confirmed (price breaking a previous swing level). The broken swing point is extended by a dotted line which can be used as potential support or resistance.
After a market structure, the price can eventually reverse and break one or multiple breaker structures at the same time, allowing for the detection of new trends in the price.
A market structure closer to the top/bottom of a trend can return Breaker structures breakouts more indicative of potential reversals.
Breakers MS breakouts can also be useful as exits for entries done using market market structures.
The script additionally highlights support/resistance events by highlighting candle borders, with a border using a green color indicating support events while a red color is indicative of a resistance event.
🔹 Breaker Structure Lifespan
The "lifespan" of Breaker structures, that is the amount of time the script will extend/evaluate them is determined by various user settings.
The Maximum Breaks setting determines the maximum amount of breaks a breaker structure can withstand before it is broken.
For example, a maximum amount of breaks of 3 for a bearish breaker structure would require the price to cross under that precise breaker structure level three times. Using higher values of this setting will also highlight more Breakers MS.
The Breaker Maximum Duration setting on the other hand determines how many bars a breaker structure can be evaluated without being broken. If a breaker structure is not broken after this amount of bars then it will stop being evaluated and will be removed.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swings Period: Period used for the swing detection, with higher values returning longer term markter structures.
Maximum Breaks: Amount of break required for a breaker block to be considered broken.
Breaker Maximum Duration: Maximum duration of a breaker block (in bars).
Market Order Bubbles - By Leviathan"Market Order Bubbles" is a volume-based indicator that helps visualize the occurrences of increased aggressiveness in market buying/selling and can serve as a useful confluence for trading reversals or as a simple tool for observing real-time market dynamics.
I created Market Order Bubbles six months ago as an additional tool included in my Liquidation Levels script. Due to their popularity, I decided to publish them as a standalone indicator with some new features. The script is based on a calculation that uses volume data (imitation of CVD) and price action to estimate where there is a surge in the quantity and magnitude of market buy and sell orders. These occurrences are visualized with circles (bubbles) that appear above the bar (market buy orders) or below the bar (market sell orders). Most of the time, the approach to interpreting the bubbles is contrarian, meaning that the appearance of Market Buy Order Bubbles can serve as a confluence to look for shorts, and the appearance of Market Sell Order Bubbles can serve as a confluence to look for longs.
The concept behind taking a contrarian approach:
Market Buy Order Bubbles appear above the price and possibly signal the following:
- Short positions being liquidated (exit short = buy order)
- New traders entering late longs based on FOMO (enter long = buy order)
- Smarter traders getting their limit sell orders filled by aggressive buyers/stopped out shorts
⇒ Possible reversal to the downside / short-term pullback / start of ranging price action (PA)
Market Sell Order Bubbles appear below the price and possibly signal the following:
- Long positions being liquidated (exit long = sell order)
- New traders entering late shorts based on FOMO (enter short = sell order)
- Smarter traders getting their limit buy orders filled by aggressive sellers/stopped out longs
⇒ Possible reversal to the upside / short-term pullback / start of the ranging PA
These events are identified and filtered by EMA and STDEV-based "thresholds," which can be modified in the indicator settings.
1. If the buy/sell volume exceeds the first threshold, a Small Bubble is displayed.
2. If the buy/sell volume surpasses the second threshold, a Medium Bubble is displayed.
3. If the buy/sell volume exceeds the third threshold, a Large Bubble is displayed.
Increasing the multipliers effectively increases the threshold for a given bubble to appear, making the conditions for its occurrence more strict.
Decreasing the multipliers effectively decreases the threshold for a given bubble to appear, making the conditions for its occurrence less strict.
Settings Overview
"Bubble Position" - Choose whether the bubbles are displayed above/below the candle, at the candle high/low, or at the intrabar POC of the candle.
"Strength Gradient Color" - This option adjusts the transparency of the bubble's color relative to the volume on that bar.
"Threshold EMA Length" - Choose the length of the EMA used for determining the thresholds.
"Threshold STDEV Length" - Choose the length of the ta.stdev() function used on the EMA.
"Appearance Delay" - This input allows you to delay the appearance of the bubble for x number of bars. The default is 0.
"Show POC" - Show/hide intrabar POCs displayed as "-".
"Timeframe-Adjusted Settings" - Different timeframes might require different parameters. In this section, you can set custom parameters (Lengths and Multipliers) for four different timeframes, and the script will automatically switch to those settings as you browse through different timeframes.
Master Pattern ScreenerMaster Pattern Screener
This is an indicator based on the concept known as the Forex Master Pattern, which contains three phases. The contraction, expansion, and trend phases This indicator, based on your current timeframe, finds out if there is a contraction on 10 symbols that you can customize to suit your needs.
How does it work?
The indicator is a table, and it finds 10 different symbols on the current timeframe that you have selected. Then it does volume and volatility calculations to determine if a contraction is occurring, which is the first phase and probably the most important phase in the FOREX MASTER PATTERN .
This indicator is meant to be used in conjunction with our contraction plotter. We would have placed this indicator in the contraction and expansion plotter, but there were memory limitation issues, so we placed it in a separate indicator.
How traders can use this indicator
The contraction phase is extremely important because once a contraction is occurring, what always happens is an expansion. Some traders will avoid placing trades in the contraction phase, while others will enter to use the momentum for their trades. This indicator just makes it more convenient to identify the contraction phases.
Examples of the indicator:
Things you should know
The symbols can be customized to whatever you want. You can choose your own stocks, cryptocurrencies, currencies, etc.
Make sure that it's exactly the same; if you use, for example, BTCUSDT Coinbase but check on BTCUSDT Binance, then it may show inaccurate results.
Since this script involves a decent amount of calculations, it may not work properly in low timeframes, like anything less than a minute.
Liquidation Levels - By LeviathanThis indicator generates liquidation levels of over-leveraged traders and utilizes a variety of different tools to analyze data such as Open Interest and Volume to provide an edge in your trading system and help you with valuable market insights.
The concept of this indicator is inspired by the platform Hyblock and their Liquidation Levels tool.
The script offers a lot of flexibility in settings, so please read these instructions and test out different parameters to see what works best for you. Here is a short overview of all inputs, one by one.
PRIMARY SOURCE OF DATA
This input allows you to choose the primary source of data that the script uses to calculate liquidation levels. I encourage you to test them all and see which works best for the assets and timeframes you trade. You can also regularly switch between to see confluences.
My personal favorite inputs (and also most accurate ones) are Open Interest, Open Interest + Volume (OI+VOL), and Open Interest + CVD (OI+CVD), as they utilize Open Interest in the calculations, which is the most important factor when it comes to analyzing position opening/closing and market activity in general. The other options that do not include Open Interest (Volume, CVD) were mainly added to provide the possibility to use the indicator on pairs where OI data is not available. Please note that this indicator is built on Tradingview and can only use data (e.g., Open Interest) provided by Tradingview, which is unfortunately quite limited. This is why I recommend using the script with OI-based data source inputs on Binance's perpetual futures pairs, as this is where OI data is available. The volume-based data source inputs can be used on spot pairs, forex, indices, and other markets, where Open Interest data is not provided.
To summarize the use of Primary Source of Data input:
1. Open Interest - use on Binance’s perpetual futures or anywhere else where OI data is available
2. OI + VOL - use on Binance’s perpetual futures or anywhere else where OI data is available
3. OI + CVD - use on Binance’s perpetual futures or anywhere else where OI data is available
4. CVD - use on any pair you wish
5. Volume - use on any pair you wish
DIRECTIONAL BIAS
If turned on, the Directional bias function uses volume and some other calculations to predict which side’s liquidation levels are more likely to be filled and only keep those levels on your chart.
- Directional Bias for Liquidation Levels
Turned ON: only one side’s liquidation levels are shown on the chart
Turned OFF: all liquidation levels are shown on the chart
- Directional Bias for Liquidation Level Bubbles
Turned ON: only one side’s liquidation level bubbles are shown on the chart
Turned OFF: all liquidation level bubbles are shown on the chart
I've separated directional bias options between Liquidation Levels and Liquidation Level Bubbles because sometimes it can be useful to have one of them ON and the other one OFF.
REDUCE SENSITIVITY
The Reduce Sensitivity option allows you to multiply the thresholds for "Smaller Size Liquidation," "Medium Size Liquidation," and "Large Size Liquidation" simultaneously. This is a useful feature as it enables you to easily filter larger positions and their liquidations without having to manually alter the standard deviation multipliers, which will be discussed in further detail later in the article.
The default value is 1, which means that it does nothing.
Increasing it above 1 will increase all thresholds and therefore generate fewer liquidation levels but with larger relative sizes.
Decreasing it below 1 will lower all thresholds and therefore generate more liquidation levels but with both smaller and larger relative sizes.
BASE
This input gives you the possibility to choose between four different bases, from which the liquidation levels will be generated.
CLOSE ⇒ Levels are plotted above and below the close of the candle
HALF ⇒ Levels are plotted above and below the middle of the candle ((high+low)/2)
VWAP ⇒ Levels are plotted above and below the volume-weighted average price
VWMA ⇒ Levels are plotted above and below the volume-weighted moving average
I suggest that you backtest them and see what works best for you.
LIQUIDATION LEVEL BUBBLES
If enabled, "Liquidation Level Bubbles" mark the beginning of a new liquidation level and indicate the relative size of liquidations that would occur if the price were to reach that level.
Liquidation Bubbles or Liquidation Levels in general appear when there is a large influx of new positions and logically, (significant) new positions lead to (significant) new liquidation levels. Liquidation Bubbles can be used to estimate the size and therefore significance of a given liquidation level. It could be argued that the price is more likely to be attracted to larger Liquidation Level Bubbles. While this is often true, it is not always the case as the strong momentum created by large positions can sustain for a prolonged period before reversing and filling the remaining levels Similarly to other features in this indicator, significant new positions are identified and filtered using standard deviation thresholds and their multipliers. New positions are considered significant when newly opened positions exceed the threshold for "Smaller Size Liquidation," leading to the creation of new liquidation levels and bubbles.
1. If new positions exceed the first standard deviation multiplier ("Smaller Size Liquidation Level"), but do not exceed “Medium Size Liquidation Level”, a smaller-sized bubble appears.
2. If new positions exceed the second standard deviation multiplier (”Medium Size Liquidation Level”), but do not exceed “Large Size Liquidation Level”, a medium-sized bubble appears.
3. If new positions surpass the third standard deviation multiplier (”Large Size Liquidation Level”), a large-sized bubble appears.
Significant opened positions are identified and filtered by size using three "thresholds" in the form of standard deviations, which can be modified in the indicator settings, in the section called "Standard Deviation Multipliers".
**Increasing** the standard deviation multipliers of Liquidation Level Bubbles effectively increases the threshold for a given bubble to occur, making the conditions for its appearance stricter.
⇒ Fewer Liquidation Levels - just larger positions are included
**Decreasing** the standard deviation multipliers of Liquidation Level Bubbles effectively decreases the threshold for a given bubble to occur, making the conditions for its appearance looser.
⇒ More Liquidation Levels - smaller positions are included
Keep in mind that this should always be the case:
*Smaller Size Liquidation Level < Medium Size Liquidation Level < Large Size Liquidation Level*
MARKET ORDER BUBBLES
"Market Order Bubbles" is my experimental concept used as a way to analyze large volumes and visualize the market activity at significant levels under certain conditions. It is based on my imitation of CVD which is also used in other parts of the script. The aim of this concept is to give you an idea about the real-time heavy market buying and selling, which could indicate eg. large liquidations, large entries/exits. in order to add confluence to your analysis. Please note that this concept is still in its early stages and may be confusing as it might have been poorly implemented. I recommend taking the time to thoroughly read through this section in order to fully understand it. On the other hand, early backtesting results appear very promising, as the win rate of countertrading buy and sell bubbles under certain conditions was fairly high (70%). I will continue working on this tool, so stay tuned for future updates.
**Market Buy Order Bubbles** appear above the price and possibly signal the following:
- Short positions being liquidated (exit short = buy order)
- New traders entering late longs based on FOMO (enter long = buy order)
- New short positions (sells) of “smarter” traders absorbing liquidated/closed shorts (buys)
⇒ Possible reversal to the downside - look for the liquidation levels of longs to get filled
**Market Sell Order Bubbles** appear below the price and possibly signal the following:
- Long positions being liquidated (exit long = sell order)
- New traders entering late shorts based on FOMO (enter short = sell order)
- New long positions (buys) of “smarter” traders absorbing liquidated/closed longs (sells)
⇒ Possible reversal to the upside - look for the liquidation levels of shorts to get filled
significant volumes are identified and filtered using three “thresholds” in the form of standard deviations, which can be modified in indicator settings.
1. If buy/sell volume surpasses the first standard deviation (”**Smaller Size Market Orders**”), then the **smaller-sized bubble** appears.
2. If buy/sell volume surpasses the second standard deviation (”**Medium Size Market Orders**”), then the **medium-sized bubble** appears.
3. If buy/sell volume surpasses the third standard deviation (”**Large Size Market Orders**”), then the **large-sized bubble** appears.
**Increasing** the standard deviation multipliers effectively increases the threshold for a given bubble to appear, making the conditions for its occurrence more strict.
**Decreasing** the standard deviation multipliers effectively decreases the threshold for a given bubble to appear, making the conditions for its occurrence more strict.
Keep in mind that this should always be the case:
*Smaller Size Market Orders < Medium Size Market Orders < Large Size Market Orders*
COLOR CANDLES
The Color Candles function is a useful and interesting feature that will enhance your analysis with additional context. If enabled, the indicator will color the chart's candles based on different data. Currently, there are three options to choose from, with more to be added in future updates.
Color Candles: OI DELTA
This option will color the candles to reflect Open Interest Delta. If there is a net increase in open positions (positive Open Interest Delta), the candle will be colored green. If there is a net decrease in open positions (negative Open Interest Delta), the candle will be colored red. It is important to note that this option only functions on pairs for which Tradingview provides OI data
Color Candles: VOLUME
This option utilizes volume data to help you identify the trend and momentum, coloring the candles accordingly - upward impulses are colored green and downward impulses are colored red. This makes it easier to recognize trend reversals and adjust your directional bias accordingly.
Color Candles: STOCH
This option uses the Stochastic Oscillator and SMA to color the candles, helping you identify momentum as upward green moves transition to downward red moves and vice versa.
LEVERAGE RATIO
Leverage ratio is another experimental concept I have added to this script. If turned on, it provides a broad insight into whether the market is relatively over-leveraged or if the leverage is relatively low. The aim is to use it as a confluence in anticipating incoming volatility and possibly use it to understand other aspects of market activity. It is still in its early stages of development and needless to say, it only works on pairs where Open Interest data is provided by Tradingview.
Crosses above price = Leverage is relatively high
Crosses below price = Leverage is relatively low
MARKET INFO SCREENER, LEVEL LEGEND, HIDE FILLED LINES
The last three inputs of Basic Settings section:
”The Market Info Screener” feature will display a small panel on the right side of your chart that provides useful data about the market, including Open Interest, Volume, the aggressive side of traders, and the Leverage Ratio. More data coming in future updates.
"Level Legend" option will display a small legend on the right side of the chart, helping you or others viewing the chart to understand what the objects on the chart mean.
"Hide Filled Lines" option will hide liquidation levels that have already been filled, only displaying the active ones in order to reduce clutter on your chart.
APPEARANCE
The “Appearance” settings offer a variety of modifications for colors, styles, and visibility.
The "Line Style" input allows you to choose the style and width of the liquidation level lines. You can also select which levels to display, as well as the color of the liquidation level lines and bubbles. The "Max Number of Lines" input allows you to specify the number of level lines you want on a chart. If you feel that there is too much clutter, you can decrease this number, and old lines will be removed. Please note that Tradingview has a built-in limit of 500 lines on a given chart, so this value cannot be set above 500. The "Market Buy/Sell Bubble Style" input can be used to modify the color and style of the market order bubbles. Enabling the "Show Settings Screener" option will display a screener with a list of all your settings on the right side of the chart, making it easier to share your preferred settings with others."
STANDARD DEVIATION MULTIPLIERS
This is where you can set the standard deviation thresholds for Liquidation Levels and Market Order Bubbles. These values can be customized to your preference, as the default values may not be suitable for your needs or you may want to experiment with different values to see more or fewer liquidation levels or market order bubbles on your chart. Personally, I sometimes use this feature to increase the Large Size Market Orders or Large Size Liquidation Levels multipliers so that large-sized bubbles are only assigned to extremely large positions or volumes.
If you want to only analyze larger positions or volumes, you can increase the "Smaller Size" multipliers, which act as a minimum threshold.
If you also want to include even smaller positions or volumes in your analysis, you can decrease the values of the "Smaller Size" multipliers, which act as a minimum threshold
Please note that the "Reduce Sensitivity" option in Basic Settings affects the standard deviation multipliers of the liquidation levels. Changing the "Reduce Sensitivity" value will equally multiply all of them (the ratio between Smaller, Medium, and Large multiplier values will remain the same)
STANDARD DEVIATION LENGTH
"Standard Deviation Length" defines the length (number of bars) used in all calculations that utilize the standard deviation function in this script. Decreasing it will generate Liquidation Levels and Liquidation Bubbles based more on recent data. Increasing it will generate Liquidation Levels and Liquidation Bubbles based on more long-term data.
CVD LENGTH
"CVD Length" refers to the length used in calculating cumulative volumes. Decreasing it will generate Liquidation Levels, Market Order Bubbles, and apply Directional bias based more on recent data. Increasing it will generate those based on more long-term data."
LEVEL CALCULATION MODES
“Level Calculation Modes” enable you to switch between three modes of calculating the distance between the base and actual liquidation levels.
COPYRIGHT
"Copyright" option will add your username to the copyright section at the bottom of the chart, giving you credit for your analysis if you post it somewhere.
MacroCorrelation (Bitcoin Real Value)The best minds in the financial world think about how to determine the real value of an asset.
I constantly say that it is necessary to buy an asset only at the moment when its market price is below or equal to its fundamental value. Let's see what is the difference between these two concepts.
Fundamental value
Imagine that we decided to grow and sell, for example, strawberries. For this, we purchased the necessary equipment, tools, fertilizers, seeds, and more. Let's say that we needed $ 3000 for this purpose.
To facilitate the task, in our calculation we will not take into account all types of possible costs (electricity cost, workers' wages, necessary tax deductions, etc.).
If we had to take a loan to meet the initial needs, for example, at 10% per annum , then each borrowed $ 1000 in a year would cost us $ 1100. That is, $ 3000 would cost us $ 3300 per year.
Let's agree that our initial funds were completely enough to buy everything we needed, and we didn't need to take out a loan at a certain percentage. In this case, we exclude from the calculation the cost of the capital required to start your own business.
Suppose we managed to harvest 100 kg of strawberries. This means that the real value (fundamental value) of 1 kg of our strawberries is $ 30.
Market price
Things are a little different with the market price. The market price is determined by the volume of supply and demand for a particular product or service at a particular point in time.
By demand, we mean the intention to purchase a product or service (secured by the ability to pay a set price for it). A need that exceeds solvency is not a demand.
By offer, we mean the willingness to provide ownership (use) of the object of demand for a certain fee.
Simply put, the market price is the price at which the buyer is willing to buy (and the seller to sell) the volume of goods we need.
In our case, the price at which we sell 1 kg of our strawberries will depend on how much people really need our strawberries.
If we are the only sellers of strawberries in a certain territory and, at the same time, buyers really want to taste fresh strawberries, its market price can be as high as the last buyer is able to pay. If not, everything will depend on how high quality our product will be for its price. At the same time, the price constantly varies over a certain period of time ( seasonality and other factors). For example, if in winter we could sell 1 kg of our strawberries for $ 90, then in summer for $ 50. Strawberry prices range from $ 50 to $ 90.
Magic formula
We now understand what is the difference between fundamental value and market price. If the first is made up exclusively of a set of real metrics, the second is a variable factor that depends primarily on “human factors” (what is the maximum price the buyer is willing to pay, what is the minimum price the seller is willing to set at a particular moment in time).
You should try to buy an asset only at the moment when its market price is below or equal to its fundamental value.
However, how can you independently determine the fundamental value of an asset?
Unfortunately, there is no universal answer to this question, just as there is no universal “magic formula” in nature (my sincere respect, Joel Greenblatt) that could determine the fundamental value of any asset on the planet. The point is precisely in the criterion of universality. If we consider each asset (or at least the market) separately, we can well determine its fundamental value.
Even those things that seem free to us in everyday life (just their cost are negligible) have a fundamental value.
Three factors to assess the fundamental value of Bitcoin
Let's try to take a separate asset, for example Bitcoin , and do with it everything that we did earlier with our “strawberry business”.
When assessing the real (fundamental) value of Bitcoin , we will take into account 3 main factors.
1. The maximum possible and current supply in the Bitcoin market
The reward for mining a Bitcoin block is halved every 210,000 blocks. This fact is called halving (halving). When all blocks are mined, the total amount of existing bitcoins will be 21 million coins.
Accordingly, the maximum supply in the Bitcoin network will not exceed 21 million coins.
In reality, things are even better, since this volume also includes a certain amount of lost coins. By lost, we mean all those coins whose “private keys” the last owner no longer has access to. For example, at the time of the appearance of Bitcoin in 2009, its real value was doubtful and not obvious to most of its owners, many of whom did not pay due attention to understanding the safe storage of an asset, periodically losing access to hundreds and thousands of coins.
As a result, we understand that the total supply in the Bitcoin market will be significantly less than 21 million coins.
To evaluate the proposal, it is not enough to understand how much of the asset exists, because a certain amount of it, as we have already understood, can either be lost or be blocked for a long time. It is also important to take into account the criterion of “supply in time”. That is, the current total “liquidity” of the network.
2. Bitcoin network hashrate
The main indicator of the viability and stability of the Bitcoin network is the hash rate (computing power). Stable hashrate = network security.
3. The real value of the US dollar
When analyzing the Bitcoin / Dollar pair, in addition to the real value of Bitcoin , it is also necessary to take into account the real value of the US Dollar .
It is believed that assets such as stocks or cryptocurrencies are extremely volatile (the price can change over a wide range within a relatively short period of time). At the same time, to reduce volatility , experts advise using the so-called “currency baskets”.
A currency basket is a certain percentage of foreign currencies in which the investor's capital can be distributed. The ratio of currency units in the basket is used to reduce the potential risk of currency fluctuations.
The main problem is that, due to inflation , the purchasing power of the currencies themselves drops significantly over time.
With the $ 100 we earned in 1913, already in the 1920s we could have purchased 50% fewer goods and services than before. In the 1980s, it was 90% less, and in the 2010s it was already 98% less.
This fact must also be taken into account when assessing the real value of Bitcoin , since everything is relative, and in the Bitcoin / Dollar pair, we determine the value of Bitcoin , expressed in US dollars.
The real value of Bitcoin
After assessing the relationship of the factors described above and drawing up a mathematical formula, we can proceed to the analysis of the results. In order to cut off unnecessary noise when constructing the function, we will use the graph for 1 month.
Analyzing the resulting chart, first of all, the following is striking: the fundamental value of Bitcoin grows over time. This is due to the gradual expansion of the "user base" of the network, as well as the growth of its popularity among investors of completely different classes.
I propose to compare the graph obtained earlier with the graph of Internet users (in% of the number of adult US citizens ). Similar, don't they?
The more the number of Internet users, the higher its influence and economic potential. The more the number of users of the Bitcoin network, the higher its economic potential and fundamental value.
However, understanding the fundamental value alone is not enough. We, as investors, first of all need to understand when to buy any asset.
To do this, compare the chart of the market price of Bitcoin with the chart of its fundamental value obtained earlier.
Now that we have a complete picture of what is happening and understand both the fundamental value of the asset and its market price, the fact of the numerical prevalence of the price over the fundamental value for 116 out of 133 months becomes quite clear. Periods of Bitcoin being below its fundamental value are extremely rare and only take ~ 13% of the trading time.
For about 87% of all trading time, Bitcoin's market price is above its fundamental value. Those rare periods when traders are willing to sell bitcoin below its fundamental value are an incredible gift for a long-term investor.
Bull and Bear Markets
If you buy Bitcoin (like any other asset) below its fundamental value, this is an absolutely incredible idea in terms of potential profitability, who in their right mind would sell their assets below this mark ?!
It's all about the emotionality of people. Saying “I will not do stupid things when the time is right” is easier than actually maintaining composure. Especially when it comes to money. Your money. And sometimes even dreams.
The classical market theory usually divides the market into two main phases: A bull market is a period of time during which the price rises systematically (accordingly, the demands and expectations of traders gradually grow). A bear market is a period of time during which the price gradually falls (accordingly, traders' requests and expectations gradually fall).
There is also the concept of “correction”: A correction is a temporary change in the price of an asset, contrary to the main trend.
For the current day, there is not a single clear criterion that separates the concept of a bear / bull market from the concept of a correction. However, we can say with confidence that the market change (from bullish to bearish or from bearish to bullish ) is interconnected with the fundamental factors of the market. Corrections, on the other hand, have significantly less connection with fundamental indicators.
and are rather related to the “physiology of the market” (nothing can only rise in price every unit of time for a significantly long time, nothing can only fall in price every unit of time for a significantly long time).
In this case, the most rational would be to define a bear market as a delay in updating the absolute historical highs of the price with a preliminary touch of the fundamental value.
Buying below the fundamental value is always a smarter idea than buying above the fundamental value, since, in most cases, it is the touch of the fundamental value that globally separates a bear and a bull market.
Fun fact: If we were to buy Bitcoin every time it touched the fundamental value, the average buy price as of July 2021 would be $ 1,506.65, which is 87% less than the current fundamental value of Bitcoin .
Conclusions
1. The total amount of Bitcoins , as well as the speed of their production (mining) over time, are programmatically limited, which limits the volume of the maximum possible supply
2. Bitcoin is transported, which means that the volume of supply for the current minute will also depend on the actual volume of assets available for sale
3. The viability of the network is based on the amount of computer power supporting it (network hash rate)
4. When analyzing the Bitcoin / Dollar pair, in addition to the real value of Bitcoin , it is also necessary to take into account the real value of the US Dollar
5. Price ≠ fundamental value
6. Buying below the fundamental is always a smarter idea than buying above the fundamental.
7. Don't believe the headlines of financial news and the public words of financiers
8. Selling strawberries can make a fortune too

BK AK-Ghost Ladder⚔️ BK AK-Ghost Ladder — Smart Money Gaps. True Support/Resistance. ⚔️
There are already some excellent FVG tools out there—built by traders who’ve put in real work studying imbalance, liquidity, and smart money behavior.
BK AK-Ghost Ladder is simply my version of that idea: my attempt to take what I learned from those great frameworks and push it further into volume, structure, lifecycle, and accountability—so every zone is treated as a living, graded object, not just a static box on a chart.
Why “Ghost Ladder”? Because the real market is full of invisible rungs—thin pockets of liquidity, imbalance steps, and defended boundaries that price climbs and falls through like a ladder you can’t see until it matters. This tool is built to reveal those rungs before you get punished by them.
“AK” in the name is not branding—it’s honor. It belongs to my mentor A.K., whose standard of discipline and clarity sits behind every decision in this tool. Above that, all glory and gratitude to Gd—the real source of any wisdom, edge, or endurance we have in this game.
🧠 What BK AK-Ghost Ladder Actually Does
This is a full institutional FVG/SR system, not a paintbrush. It:
Detects and manages bullish & bearish FVG zones using ATR/percent filters and aging logic
Assigns a 0–100 institutional strength score and 1–5★ rating to every zone
Builds a per-zone lower-timeframe volume profile with POC, volume delta, and optional volume text
Tracks historical touches, breaks, role reversals, merging, clustering, and divergence at the zone
Runs per-zone backtest stats and feeds that into an adaptive/ML-style confidence weight
Compresses the whole environment into a real-time Info Table: bias, market position, nearest S/R, risk, session
Fires alerts only when something actually matters: strong FVGs, magnetic pull, divergence at a level
If price is the map, this is the layer that tells you which levels are real and which are noise.
🧱 Core Engine — Institutional Zone Logic
Smart FVG Detection
Clean 3-bar gap logic for bullish & bearish FVGs
ATR or % based minimum gap size + optional distance filter from price
Zone aging with max life in bars and optional “reset on touch”
Overlap & proximity control:
Prevent overlapping zones
Enforce minimum bar spacing
Or keep only the strongest zone in a cluster
Institutional Strength & Rating
Each zone gets a score (0–100) + star rating (1–5★) based on:
Volume vs average (with optional lower timeframe split)
Gap size vs ATR
Pivot confluence
Historical meaningful touches
Role reversal (support ↔ resistance)
MTF FVG alignment
Session weighting (Asian / London / NY / overlaps)
Order block overlap & imbalance behavior
VWAP proximity/extremes
Fib level alignment
Delta divergence
Zone clustering & consolidation
Adaptive “performance weight” from historical reactions
Bad zones don’t just look weaker—they literally get filtered out when you enable minimum star / institutional filters.
📊 In-Zone Volume & Profile Intelligence
Each zone can be backed by lower-timeframe volume:
Per-zone volume histogram inside the gap
POC line at the most traded price in that zone
Optional total volume label
POC line color shifts with volume delta (buy vs sell pressure)
Additional bull/bear volume bars alongside the zone and/or numeric volume text inside the box
You’re not just staring at a gap—you’re seeing the liquidity pocket inside the gap.
🎯 Structure, Confluence & Role Reversal
The engine includes deep structural context:
Pivots: stored swing highs/lows for S/R confluence
MTF FVG Confluence: two extra timeframes for higher-timeframe alignment
Fibonacci Levels: auto-mapped 0.236 / 0.382 / 0.5 / 0.618 / 0.786 with optional lines & labels
Order Blocks & Imbalance: engulfing OB detection + volume/imbalance filters
VWAP Intelligence: VWAP proximity/extreme bonuses, optional short-form plotting
Delta Divergence: volume-based confirmation flags for zones under real internal pressure
Smart S/R Positioning & Role Flip
Hide “wrong side” zones or auto-flip roles when broken & retested
Track broken zones for N bars, then retire them
Mark role reversals with badges and strength bonuses
Support/resistance is treated like behavior, not just lines.
🤖 Adaptive Learning & Backtesting
Each zone is monitored when price touches it:
Checks if price respects the zone and moves X points away (success)
Or violates beyond failure threshold (failure)
Tracks successes, failures, and win rate per zone
Feeds a confidence score into an adaptive weight so consistently performing zones matter more
Zones that meet the bar get ML/🤖 marking when enabled
The script doesn’t just say “this looks strong”—it tracks how it actually behaved.
📋 Info Table & Sessions — On-Chart War Room
On the latest bar, an Info Table summarizes:
Zone count (bull vs bear)
Market position (NEAR SUPPORT / NEAR RESISTANCE / ABOVE RESISTANCE / BELOW SUPPORT / NEUTRAL)
Nearest S/R levels
Trade bias (BULLISH / BEARISH / NEUTRAL)
Active session (ASIAN / LONDON / NY / OVERLAP / OFF)
Risk level (LOW / MED / HIGH)
Sessions are coded in EST with multipliers so you can weight London/NY more heavily than Asia if that matches your playbook.
Hover the table for a strategy tooltip: live market posture, suggested behavior near the zones, and context around the current environment.
⚠ Divergence & Alerts
Real-time RSI/OBV/ADX divergence detection at the zone
Flexible visual modes: border, icon, color change, or combinations
Alerts included:
Magnetic Zone Pull (price entering ATR-based “field” of a strong zone)
Strong Bullish FVG
Strong Bearish FVG
Divergence at Zone
Let the chart call you when a real decision point appears, instead of forcing you to stare all day.
🕹 How to Use BK AK-Ghost Ladder
1️⃣ Build Bias With Structure
Use the Info Table, star ratings, and where the 4–5★ zones cluster relative to price to decide which side of the tape you’re allowed to trade on.
2️⃣ Only Trade From Strong, Aligned Zones
Focus on 4–5★ zones with confluence (pivots, Fib, OB, VWAP, clustering).
Use the zone body/wick region as your execution area, not some random mid-air candle.
3️⃣ Treat Role Reversal & Clusters as Campaign Nodes
When a strong zone breaks, flips role, and collects touches, that’s campaign territory—not scalp noise.
4️⃣ Use Divergence/Delta as a Brake, Not a Toy
If divergence lights up at your level, respect it: size down, wait for confirmation, or stand down.
5️⃣ Let the Engine Filter Junk For You
Tune volMultiplier, star thresholds, session multipliers, distance filters, and min star rating to match your timeframe and instrument.
This script’s job is to remove your excuse for taking low-quality trades.
📜 Boundaries & Wisdom
King Solomon wrote:
“Do not remove the ancient boundary stone that your fathers have set.”
This tool is built around that idea. It maps where the real boundaries live—where smart money defends, attacks, traps, and reverses.
It will not give you discipline. It will simply remove the illusion that “you didn’t know the level was there.”

JMA Cluster Entries with Market Structure [WavesUnchained]JMA Cluster Entries with Market Structure
Overview
JMA Cluster Entries with Market Structure combines multi-timeframe JMA (Jurik Moving Average) cluster analysis with advanced market structure detection (Wyckoff methodology, Smart Money Concepts) to identify high-probability momentum and structure-based entries. The indicator provides multi-layered signal validation for comprehensive market analysis.
Key Features
JMA Cluster Analysis
• 10 Adaptive Moving Averages (20, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, 500, 600 periods)
• JMA technology provides smooth, responsive trend detection with minimal lag
• Cluster scoring system (0-100%) measures trend alignment strength
• Optional visualization - lines can be hidden for clean charts
Wyckoff Market Structure Detection
• Selling Climax (SC) : High-volume panic selling at support (bullish reversal)
• Spring : False breakdown below support with reversal (bullish continuation)
• Buying Climax (BC) : High-volume buying exhaustion at resistance (bearish reversal)
• Upthrust (UT) : False breakout above resistance with rejection (bearish continuation)
• Timeframe-optimized lookback periods : Automatically adjusts pivot detection window based on chart timeframe (15M/1H/4H/Daily/Weekly)
• Dual-mode pivots: Entry signals use live-ready detection; visualization can use historical-perfect mode for clean charts
Multi-Signal Entry Engine
Three independent signal classes with quality tiers:
1. MOMENTUM (M) : Cluster flip + slope confirmation + ATR filter
2. EXHAUSTION (E) : Mean reversion at statistical extremes + volume surge
3. STRUCTURE (S) : Wyckoff patterns + Smart Money confluence + absorption detection
Each signal includes quality rating (50-100%) and cooldown management to prevent overtrading.
Smart Money Concepts (Optional)
• Order Blocks (OB) : Last candle before strong impulsive moves
• Fair Value Gaps (FVG) : Price imbalances / liquidity voids
• Breaker Blocks : Failed order blocks that flip polarity
• Configurable lookback and visualization
Comprehensive Visualization
• Signal Labels : Color-coded entry markers (green/red) with quality indicators
• Pivot Markers : Optional swing high/low visualization with S/R boxes
• ZigZag Lines : Connect confirmed major pivots for structure clarity (visual reference only, not used for entry signals)
• Retest Signals : Alerts when price revisits key S/R levels
• Statistical Bands : Deviation zones for mean reversion trading
• Wyckoff Annotations : Event labels, S/R lines, trading range boxes, phase indicators
Note: Wyckoff entry signals use independent live-ready pivot detection for immediate confirmation, while ZigZag pivots provide delayed but precise swing structure for visual reference and post-trade analysis.
Advanced Configuration

---
## ⚠️ **IMPORTANT NOTES**
### **Limitations**
- PCR is a **contrarian indicator** - extreme fear (high PCR) often marks bottoms
- Works best in **trending markets** with clear directional bias
- Less effective during **low volatility** periods or tight ranges
- **Open Interest data** not available via Pine Script API (volume-based calculation used)
- Requires **liquid options** - minimum 1000 volume threshold recommended
### **Best Practices**
✅ Use in conjunction with price action and support/resistance
✅ Wait for confirmation (2-3 bars) before entering trades
✅ Check max pain during expiry week for directional bias
✅ Monitor smart money flow for institutional positioning
✅ Combine with VIX or India VIX for volatility context
✅ Use higher timeframes (15m, 1H, Daily) for better signals
### **Risk Management**
⚠️ Never trade on PCR signals alone - confirm with technicals
⚠️ Use proper position sizing (1-2% risk per trade)
⚠️ Set stop losses based on recent swing highs/lows
⚠️ Be cautious during earnings, events, or extreme news
⚠️ Exit partial position at 1:1 risk-reward, let rest run

---
## 🎓 **LEARNING RESOURCES**
### **Understanding PCR**
- **PCR < 0.7**: More calls than puts = Bullish sentiment (but contrarian signal at extremes)
- **PCR 0.8-1.2**: Balanced market = Neutral sentiment
- **PCR > 1.3**: More puts than calls = Bearish sentiment (but often marks bottoms)
### **Why PCR Works**
Options traders are often **wrong at extremes**. When everyone buys puts (PCR > 1.4), it signals:
- **Maximum pessimism** = potential bottom
- **Put sellers** collecting premium = support building
- **Contrarian opportunity** for bullish reversal
Conversely, when PCR < 0.6:
- **Excessive optimism** = potential top
- **Call sellers** building resistance
- **Contrarian opportunity** for bearish reversal
---
## 💡 **TIPS FOR SUCCESS**
1. **Context Matters**: A PCR of 1.5 during a bear market is normal; during a bull market, it's extreme
2. **Combine Signals**: Best trades happen when 3-4 signal types align
3. **Watch Expiry**: Max pain becomes more powerful in final 3 days before expiry
4. **Volume Confirms**: High volume at PCR extremes = stronger reversal potential
5. **Divergences Are Gold**: When price and PCR disagree, PCR is often right
6. **Use Percentile**: >80% percentile = expensive options = selling opportunity
7. **Z-Score > 2**: Statistical anomaly = mean reversion likely
8. **Smart Money Leads**: Institutional flow often precedes retail by 1-3 days

## 🎯 TARGET CALCULATION
### Measured Move Method
```
1. Measure trading range height
Example: Top at 120, Bottom at 100 = 20 points
2. Add to breakout point (accumulation)
Breakout at 120 + 20 = Target: 140
3. Or subtract from breakdown (distribution)
Breakdown at 100 - 20 = Target: 80
```
### Multiple Targets
- **Conservative:** 1x range height (100% probability reached)
- **Moderate:** 1.5x range height (70% probability)
- **Aggressive:** 2x range height (40% probability)

Is there a clear trading range?
├─ YES
│ ├─ Did price break BELOW support?
│ │ ├─ Volume LOW + Quick reversal = SPRING → BUY ✅
│ │ └─ Volume HIGH + Stays down = Breakdown → SELL ⚠️
│ │
│ └─ Did price break ABOVE resistance?
│ ├─ Volume LOW + Quick reversal = UTAD → SELL ✅
│ └─ Volume HIGH + Stays up = Breakout → BUY ⚠️
│
└─ NO
├─ Strong uptrend = Wait for re-accumulation
└─ Strong downtrend = Wait for re-distribution
```

## 🧠 REMEMBER
**The Three Laws:**
1. **Supply & Demand** - Price is determined by imbalance
2. **Cause & Effect** - Range size predicts move size
3. **Effort & Result** - Volume should confirm price movement
**The Key Principle:**
> "Trade with the Composite Operator (smart money), not against them"
**Best Setups:**
1. Spring in accumulation (Phase C)
2. UTAD in distribution (Phase C)
3. SOS breakout (Phase D)
4. SOW breakdown (Phase D)
**When in Doubt:**
- ❓ Stay out
- 📈 Use higher timeframe
- 📚 Review the documentation
- 🎯 Wait for clearer signal

## WYCKOFF METHOD THEORY
### The Three Fundamental Laws
#### 1. **Law of Supply and Demand**
- Price rises when demand exceeds supply
- Price falls when supply exceeds demand
- The indicator tracks volume vs price movement to identify imbalances
#### 2. **Law of Cause and Effect**
- A period of accumulation (cause) leads to markup (effect)
- A period of distribution (cause) leads to markdown (effect)
- Trading ranges build "cause" for future price movement
#### 3. **Law of Effort vs Result**
- **Effort** = Volume (energy put into the market)
- **Result** = Price movement (spread of the bar)
- High effort with low result = potential reversal
- Low effort with high result = trend weakness
### The Five Phases
#### **ACCUMULATION CYCLE**
**Phase A: Stopping the Downtrend**
- Preliminary Support (PS): First sign of buying
- Selling Climax (SC): Panic selling exhaustion
- Automatic Rally (AR): Bounce from SC
- Secondary Test (ST): Test of SC low on lower volume
**Phase B: Building the Cause**
- Trading range develops
- Supply being absorbed by composite operator
- Multiple tests of support and resistance
- Volume generally decreases
**Phase C: The Test (Spring)**
- False breakdown below support
- Traps late sellers
- Quick reversal on low volume
- Last chance to accumulate before markup
**Phase D: Dominance Emerges**
- Sign of Strength (SOS): Break above resistance
- Last Point of Support (LPS): Pullback opportunity
- Backup (BU): Final consolidation
- Demand clearly exceeds supply
**Phase E: Markup**
- New uptrend established
- Price moves rapidly higher
- Phase E can last months/years
- Original trading range becomes support
#### **DISTRIBUTION CYCLE**
**Phase A: Stopping the Uptrend**
- Preliminary Supply (PSY): First sign of selling
- Buying Climax (BC): Euphoric buying exhaustion
- Automatic Reaction (AR): Sharp selloff from BC
- Secondary Test (ST): Test of BC high on lower volume
**Phase B: Building the Cause**
- Trading range at top
- Demand being absorbed by composite operator
- Multiple tests of support and resistance
**Phase C: The Test (UTAD)**
- Upthrust After Distribution
- False breakout above resistance
- Traps late buyers
- Quick reversal
**Phase D: Dominance Emerges**
- Sign of Weakness (SOW): Break below support
- Last Point of Supply (LPSY): Rally opportunity to exit
- Supply clearly exceeds demand
**Phase E: Markdown**
- New downtrend established
- Price moves rapidly lower
- Original trading range becomes resistance

## TRADING STRATEGY EXAMPLES
### Strategy 1: Accumulation Range Breakout
**Setup:**
1. Identify trading range (blue background in Phase B)
2. Wait for Spring or Test (Phase C)
3. Wait for SOS breakout (Phase D)
**Entry:**
- Option A: Buy on SOS breakout
- Option B: Wait for LPS pullback (better risk/reward)
**Stop Loss:**
- Below the spring low or trading range bottom
**Target:**
- Measure height of trading range (cause)
- Project upward from breakout point (effect)
- Minimum target = range height
**Example:**
```
Trading Range: 100 to 120 (20 point range)
SOS Breakout at: 120
Target: 120 + 20 = 140 minimum
```
### Strategy 2: Distribution Range Breakdown
**Setup:**
1. Identify trading range after uptrend
2. Wait for UTAD (Phase C)
3. Wait for SOW breakdown (Phase D)
**Entry:**
- Option A: Sell on SOW breakdown
- Option B: Wait for LPSY rally (better risk/reward)
**Stop Loss:**
- Above the UTAD high or trading range top
**Target:**
- Measure height of trading range
- Project downward from breakdown point
- Minimum target = range height
### Strategy 3: Spring Trading
**Setup:**
1. Strong downtrend followed by range
2. Price breaks below range bottom
3. Volume is LOW on breakdown
4. Price quickly reverses and closes above support
**Entry:**
- When candle closes above support level
- Or on retest of support
**Stop Loss:**
- Below spring low (usually tight)
**Target:**
- Top of trading range
- Previous swing high
**Risk/Reward:**
- Typically 1:3 or better
### Strategy 4: Smart Money Tracking
**Setup:**
1. Look for 💰 symbols in demand zones
2. Multiple accumulation signals (PS, SC, ST, Test)
3. Volume decreasing during range
**Entry:**
- At next demand zone test
- On SOS breakout
**Confirmation:**
- Background turning green (Phase D/E)
- Table shows "BULLISH" bias
### Strategy 5: VSA Reversal
**Setup:**
1. Strong trend in place
2. Stopping Volume (SV) appears at extreme
3. Followed by No Demand (ND) or No Supply (NS)
**Entry:**
- When trend breaks down/up
- On retest of extreme
**Example (Bullish):**
```
Downtrend → Stopping Volume → No Supply → Up bar
Entry: Buy when price moves above SV bar
```

## COMMON PATTERNS
### Pattern 1: Classic Accumulation
```
Phase A: Downtrend → PS → SC → AR → ST
Phase B: Range building (4-12 weeks typical)
Phase C: Spring (false breakdown)
Phase D: SOS → LPS → BU
Phase E: Markup (new uptrend)
```
**What to do:**
- Mark the range boundaries
- Wait for spring
- Buy on LPS or SOS
- Hold through markup
### Pattern 2: Classic Distribution
```
Phase A: Uptrend → PSY → BC → AR → ST
Phase B: Range building (topping process)
Phase C: UTAD (false breakout)
Phase D: SOW → LPSY
Phase E: Markdown (new downtrend)
```
**What to do:**
- Mark the range boundaries
- Wait for UTAD
- Sell on LPSY or SOW
- Stay out during markdown
### Pattern 3: Re-Accumulation
```
Uptrend → Trading Range → Spring → Uptrend continues
```
- Occurs during existing uptrend
- Shorter accumulation period
- Often no clear SC (trend is already up)
- Spring is the key signal
### Pattern 4: Re-Distribution
```
Downtrend → Trading Range → UTAD → Downtrend continues
```
- Occurs during existing downtrend
- Shorter distribution period
- Often no clear BC (trend is already down)
- UTAD is the key signal
### Pattern 5: Failed Breakout
**Bullish Failed Breakout:**
```
Range → Breakdown → Immediate reversal (Spring)
```
- Price breaks support
- Volume is LOW
- Immediate strong reversal
- Very bullish
**Bearish Failed Breakout:**
```
Range → Breakout → Immediate reversal (UTAD)
```
- Price breaks resistance
- Volume may be high initially
- Quick rejection and reversal
- Very bearish

## TIMEFRAME RECOMMENDATIONS
### Daily Charts (Most Reliable)
- Best for swing trading
- Clear phases and events
- Less noise
- Recommended for beginners
### 4-Hour Charts
- Good for active swing traders
- Faster signals than daily
- Still reliable
### 1-Hour Charts
- For day traders
- More false signals
- Need to filter carefully
- Use in conjunction with higher timeframe
### 15-Minute / 5-Minute
- Only for experienced traders
- High noise level
- Many false signals
- Use daily chart for context
**Golden Rule:** Always check higher timeframe first!
---
## MULTI-TIMEFRAME ANALYSIS
### Top-Down Approach (Recommended)
1. **Weekly Chart** - Identify major trend and phase
2. **Daily Chart** - Find current accumulation/distribution
3. **4H Chart** - Identify entry timing
4. **Entry Timeframe** - Execute trade
### Example Analysis:
**Weekly:** Phase E Markup (bullish)
**Daily:** Phase B Re-accumulation
**4-Hour:** Spring detected
**Action:** Buy on daily LPS

## TROUBLESHOOTING
### Issue: Too Many Labels
**Solution:**
- Increase swing length (Settings → 7 or 10)
- Increase volume multipliers
- Turn off VSA labels if not needed
- Focus on major events only (SC, Spring, SOS, BC, UTAD, SOW)
### Issue: Missing Expected Events
**Solution:**
- Decrease swing length (Settings → 3)
- Decrease volume multipliers
- Turn OFF volume confirmation
- Check timeframe (use daily chart)
### Issue: False Signals
**Solution:**
- Use higher timeframe
- Wait for confirmation
- Don't trade against major trend
- Look for multiple signal convergence
### Issue: Can't See Background Colors
**Solution:**
- Check "Show Phases" is enabled
- Increase monitor brightness
- Colors are subtle by design (not to obscure price)
### Issue: Volume Shows Incorrectly
**Solution:**
- Ensure volume data is available for your symbol
- Some symbols have poor volume data
- Forex spot pairs have no real volume
- Use futures or stock markets for best results
### Issue: No Trading Range Detected
**Solution:**
- Market may be trending strongly
- Trading range might be too small
- Wait for price to consolidate
- Not all markets have clear ranges
---
## ADVANCED TIPS
### 1. Count Point & Figure Charts
- Wyckoff used P&F to measure "cause"
- Width of range × height = minimum move target
- Longer accumulation = larger markup
### 2. Watch for Absorption
- High volume + narrow spread = someone absorbing
- In downtrend = accumulation
- In uptrend = distribution
### 3. Multiple Timeframe Springs
- Spring on daily + spring on weekly = very strong
- Increases probability significantly
### 4. Failed Signals Are Signals Too
- Failed spring = weakness, expect lower
- Failed UTAD = strength, expect higher
### 5. Context is King
- Don't buy during Phase E Markdown
- Don't sell during Phase E Markup
- Respect the major trend
### 6. Volume Precedes Price
- Study volume changes first
- Price follows volume
- Decreasing volume in range = building energy
### 7. Composite Operator Mindset
- Think like institutions
- Where would smart money buy/sell?
- They need liquidity (retail traders)
---
## RISK MANAGEMENT
### Position Sizing
**Conservative:**
- Risk 1% per trade
- Wider stops at range boundaries
**Moderate:**
- Risk 1-2% per trade
- Stops below spring/above UTAD
**Aggressive:**
- Risk 2-3% per trade
- Tight stops
- Higher win rate needed
### Stop Loss Placement
**Accumulation:**
- Below spring low
- Below trading range bottom
- Below demand zone
**Distribution:**
- Above UTAD high
- Above trading range top
- Above supply zone
### Take Profit Strategy
**Method 1: Measured Move**
- Range height = minimum target
- 2x range height = extended target
**Method 2: Fibonacci Extensions**
- 1.0 = range height
- 1.618 = extended target
- 2.618 = maximum target
**Method 3: Trail the Stop**
- Move stop to breakeven at 1R
- Trail under swing lows in markup
- Lock in profits progressively
---
## BACKTESTING CHECKLIST
Before trading with real money:
- Backtest on 50+ historical examples
- Record all signals in trading journal
- Calculate win rate (aim for >50%)
- Calculate average R:R (aim for >1:2)
- Test on multiple instruments
- Test on multiple timeframes
- Test in different market conditions
- Verify signal consistency
- Practice on demo account

## COMPOSITE OPERATOR PSYCHOLOGY
### What Smart Money Does (Follow Them)
**Accumulation:**
```
1. Create fear (PS, SC)
2. Shake out weak hands (Spring)
3. Absorb supply quietly (Phase B)
4. Test for remaining supply (Test)
5. Mark it up (SOS → Phase E)
💰 They buy LOW when retail panics
```
**Distribution:**
```
1. Create euphoria (PSY, BC)
2. Trap late buyers (UTAD)
3. Distribute to buyers (Phase B)
4. Test for remaining demand (ST)
5. Mark it down (SOW → Phase E)
💰 They sell HIGH when retail buys
```
### Where to Look for Smart Money
```
💰 Buy signals appear at:
- Demand zones (green boxes)
- Springs and shakeouts
- Tests of support
- After selling climax
💰 Sell signals appear at:
- Supply zones (red boxes)
- UTAD and upthrusts
- Weak rallies (LPSY)
- After buying climax
```
---
## PRACTICE EXERCISES
### Exercise 1: Identify the Phase
Look at any chart and ask:
1. Is there a trading range? (Phase B likely)
2. Did we just stop a trend? (Phase A)
3. Was there a spring/UTAD? (Phase C)
4. Is there a breakout? (Phase D)
5. Is trend running? (Phase E)
### Exercise 2: Volume Analysis
For each bar, note:
- Volume level (High/Normal/Low)
- Spread (Wide/Normal/Narrow)
- Effort vs Result (Matching? Diverging?)
### Exercise 3: Find Historical Springs
Go back 6 months:
- Mark all springs you can find
- Note the setup before each
- Track what happened after
- Calculate win rate

Beast Mode PRO v4.0# Beast Mode PRO v4.0 - Advanced Multi-Regime Trading System
## Overview
Beast Mode PRO v4.0 is a sophisticated technical analysis indicator designed for active traders seeking high-probability setups across multiple timeframes. This system combines machine learning-inspired clustering algorithms with traditional technical analysis to identify market regimes and generate precision entry signals. The indicator adapts to different trading styles through intelligent preset configurations and multiple trading modes.
---
## Core Methodology
### Signal Generation Framework
The indicator employs a **multi-component voting system** that analyzes market conditions through several independent technical perspectives:
**Technical Components:**
- **RSI (Relative Strength Index)**: Momentum oscillator measuring overbought/oversold conditions
- **Fisher Transform**: Price transformation technique that normalizes price distributions for clearer turning points
- **DMI (Directional Movement Index)**: Trend strength indicator measuring directional pressure
- **Z-Score Analysis**: Statistical measure identifying price deviations from historical norms
- **Moving Average Ratio**: Price relationship to its moving average baseline
- **MFI (Money Flow Index)**: Volume-weighted momentum indicator
- **Stochastic Oscillator**: Momentum indicator comparing closing price to price range
- **CCI (Commodity Channel Index)**: Measures current price level relative to average price level
### Clustering Engine
The system utilizes a **k-means inspired clustering algorithm** that categorizes each technical indicator's normalized values into distinct market regimes (bullish, bearish, neutral). This approach:
1. **Normalizes** all indicators using z-score transformation over a historical lookback window
2. **Clusters** normalized values using percentile-based thresholds
3. **Aggregates** individual votes into a composite score ranging from -100 to +100
4. **Smooths** the composite score using selectable methods (SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, TEMA, DEMA)
The clustering percentiles adapt dynamically based on current market volatility (ATR-normalized), ensuring the system remains responsive across different market conditions.
---
## Trading Modes
### 1. Normal Mode
Standard crossover-based signals using fixed thresholds (+10/-10). Suitable for balanced trading with moderate signal frequency.
### 2. Scalper Mode
Dynamic threshold adjustment based on recent score volatility. Generates more frequent signals by adapting to short-term price movements.
### 3. Aggressive Mode
Reversal-focused approach that triggers signals when the composite score crosses extreme levels (+80/-80), targeting major trend reversals.
### 4. Hybrid Mode
Combines Normal and Aggressive signals, capturing both standard crossovers and extreme reversals for comprehensive market coverage.
### 5. Super Scalper Mode
Ultra-responsive mode using signal line crossovers (14-period HMA of composite score) for maximum trade frequency.
### 6. Sniper Mode (Premium Feature)
Multi-confirmation system requiring alignment of:
- Composite score threshold breach
- Positive fast momentum (10-period SMI)
- Positive trend momentum (200-period SMI)
- Price above/below smart trend filter MA
This mode prioritizes precision over frequency, filtering out low-probability setups.
---
## Timeframe Presets
Pre-optimized configurations for common trading timeframes:
### 1 Minute Preset
- Fast smoothing (10-period WMA)
- Tight chop filter (61.8 threshold)
- Optimized for rapid scalping with minimal lag
### 2 Minute Preset
- Balanced smoothing (12-period EMA)
- Enhanced volume filtering
- Moderate cooling period (5 bars)
### 3 Minute Preset
- HMA smoothing for reduced lag
- Stochastic and CCI enabled
- Balanced approach for intraday trading
### 5 Minute Preset
- TEMA smoothing for trend following
- Stronger filters to reduce noise
- Extended lookback (1000 bars)
### 15 Minute Preset
- DEMA smoothing for swing positions
- Maximum filtering configuration
- All technical indicators enabled
- Suitable for swing trading and position building
Users can also select "Custom" to manually configure all parameters.
---
## Advanced Filtering System
### 1. Choppy Market Filter
Uses Choppiness Index calculation to identify consolidating markets. When CI exceeds the threshold, signals are suppressed to avoid whipsaw trades.
### 2. Smart Trend Filter
Configurable moving average (SMA/EMA/WMA/HMA/TEMA/DEMA/VWMA/RMA) that prevents counter-trend signals. Long signals require price above the MA, shorts require price below.
### 3. Volume Filter
Compares current volume to its moving average. Signals are suppressed when volume falls below the specified multiplier of average volume.
### 4. ATR Volatility Filter
Prevents trading during low volatility periods when ATR falls below its moving average multiplied by the specified factor.
### 5. Session Filter
Time-based filtering for Asia, London, New York, or combined sessions. Ensures trading only during preferred market hours.
### 6. Multi-Timeframe Confirmation
Optionally requires higher timeframe alignment before generating signals, adding confluence for higher probability trades.
### 7. Cooling Off Period
Prevents signal clustering by enforcing a minimum number of bars between consecutive signals.
---
## Smart Money Concepts Integration
### Order Block Detection
Identifies institutional supply/demand zones using multi-timeframe analysis:
- Detects strong directional candles followed by breakout moves
- Volume confirmation ensures significance
- Customizable timeframe selection (current TF or higher TF: 5m, 15m, 30m, 1H, Daily)
- Visual boxes mark active order blocks with automatic expiration after lookback period
- Price interaction alerts when touching active zones
### Liquidity Zones
Marks equal highs (EQH) and equal lows (EQL) where stop losses typically cluster, indicating potential reversal or breakout points.
---
## Momentum Analysis
### Fast Momentum (Default: 10-period)
Short-term momentum oscillator using Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) calculation. Provides early warning of momentum shifts.
### Trend Momentum (Default: 200-period)
Long-term momentum gauge confirming overall trend direction. Used in Sniper Mode for multi-confirmation.
### Momentum Divergence Detection
Automatically identifies:
- **Regular Divergence**: Price makes new high/low but momentum doesn't (reversal signal)
- **Hidden Divergence**: Price makes higher low/lower high but momentum doesn't (continuation signal)

MACD Nexus Pro [OXE]MACD Nexus Pro
Institutional-Grade Momentum Intelligence System
Transform How You Read Market Momentum
Standard MACD indicators show you what happened. MACD Nexus Pro shows you what's about to happen.
Built for serious traders who demand more than basic crossovers, this indicator combines 8 proprietary analysis engines into one powerful momentum intelligence system. Whether you trade forex, crypto, stocks, or commodities — MACD Nexus Pro gives you the institutional edge.
What Makes This Different?
Most MACD indicators are stuck in the 1970s. They show you two lines, a histogram, and leave you guessing. MACD Nexus Pro was engineered from the ground up to answer the questions professional traders actually ask:
"Is this signal confirmed across multiple timeframes?"
"Is this momentum move real or a fake-out?"
"Are smart money players accumulating or distributing?"
"Is this trend exhausted or just getting started?"
Core Benefits for Traders
🎯 Eliminate False Signals with MTF Confluence
Stop getting chopped up by single-timeframe noise. The Multi-Timeframe Confluence Matrix scans 4 timeframes simultaneously and calculates a unified alignment score from -5 to +5.
How it helps you:
Only take trades when multiple timeframes agree
See instantly if higher timeframes support your entry
Avoid counter-trend trades that fail 80% of the time
Build confidence knowing the "big picture" backs your trade
📊 Know Your Market Regime Instantly
Markets behave differently in trending vs ranging conditions. The Regime Detection Engine automatically classifies current conditions as TRENDING, VOLATILE, RANGING, or NEUTRAL.
How it helps you:
Adjust your strategy to match market conditions
Avoid momentum trades in choppy, ranging markets
Capitalize on trending markets with confidence
Stop forcing trades when conditions don't favor your style
🔄 Catch Reversals Early with Smart Divergence Detection
Divergences signal potential reversals before they happen — but spotting them manually is tedious and error-prone. The Divergence Engine automatically detects both Regular and Hidden divergences, then rates their strength.
How it helps you:
Get early warning of trend exhaustion
Find high-probability reversal entries
Use Hidden divergences for trend continuation trades
Prioritize strong divergences (★★★★) over weak ones
🏦 Trade Alongside Smart Money
Institutional players leave footprints. The Smart Money Momentum Zones detect when volume-weighted momentum enters extreme territory — signaling potential accumulation (buying) or distribution (selling) by large players.
How it helps you:
Identify where institutions are likely positioning
Buy in accumulation zones with smart money
Sell or short in distribution zones
Avoid buying into institutional selling
⚡ Distinguish Impulse Moves from Corrections
Not all momentum is created equal. The Impulse Wave Detection system identifies whether current momentum is an impulse (strong, directional) or a correction (weak, counter-trend).
How it helps you:
Enter on impulses, not corrections
Hold winners through corrections without panic
Recognize when a trend is resuming
Time entries at the start of new momentum waves
📍 Never Miss True Equilibrium
Static zero lines are outdated. The Dynamic Zero Line adapts to the market's true momentum equilibrium, shifting based on long-term bias.
How it helps you:
Understand the market's real neutral point
Recognize bullish/bearish bias at a glance
Better time zero-line crossover trades
Filter signals based on positioning above/below equilibrium
⚠️ Get Warned Before Momentum Dies
Chasing extended moves is how traders lose money. The Momentum Exhaustion Detector calculates the thrust-to-follow-through ratio and warns you when momentum is overextended.
How it helps you:
Avoid late entries into tired trends
Take profits before reversals hit
Spot when bulls/bears are running out of steam
Stay patient for better entries after exhaustion
🌈 Read Momentum Strength at a Glance
The Gradient Histogram Heatmap shows momentum acceleration through color intensity — brighter colors mean momentum is building, faded colors mean it's dying.
How it helps you:
Instantly see if momentum is accelerating or fading
Confirm breakouts with strengthening momentum
Spot weakening moves before price confirms
Make faster decisions with visual clarity
The Signal System You Can Trust
Every buy/sell signal comes with a Star Rating (★ to ★★★★★) based on:
Multi-timeframe alignment
Position relative to dynamic zero
Market regime confirmation
Volume confirmation
Exhaustion status
Choose your signal mode:
Standard: Classic MACD crossovers
Confluence: Only signals with MTF agreement (recommended)
Aggressive: Early entries with directional confluence
All signals are 100% non-repainting — what you see is what happened, permanently.

✓ Position Traders — Align with smart money accumulation/distribution zones
✓ Crypto Traders — Essential for volatile markets where exhaustion detection saves accounts
✓ Forex Traders — Multi-session momentum tracking across timeframes
What Traders Are Saying
"Finally, a MACD that tells me more than just 'line crossed line.' The exhaustion warnings alone have saved me from so many bad trades."
"The MTF confluence is a game-changer. I only trade 4+ star setups now and my win rate has never been better."
"I love how the regime detection stops me from forcing momentum trades in ranging markets. Should have had this years ago."

FVH THE ARCHITECT (The Consensus)HE ARCHITECT - Institutional Logic Engine
System Philosophy: THE ARCHITECT is a defensive consensus engine designed to filter market noise and align price structure with institutional momentum. It does not generate signals in isolation; it requires a "Consensus" between Price Action, Volume, and Divergence before confirming a setup.
Core Features:
Institutional Structure: Automatically identifies Order Blocks (Bull/Bear), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), and Break of Structure (BOS) based on fractal logic.
Smart Consensus Filter:
Smart VWAP: Color-coded trend filter (Green = Up, Red = Down).
Volume Spikes: Identifies institutional injection (Purple Candles) at >1.5x average volume.
Smart Reversals: RSI Divergence labels are only printed if the candle color confirms the rejection.
Focus Mode: A toggle to switch between "History Mode" (Context) and "Focus Mode" (Active Zones Only) to reduce chart clutter.
How to Use:
Buy: Wait for price to enter a Green Bull OB. Look for a "Smart Buy" label or Purple Volume Spike.
Sell: Wait for price to enter a Red Bear OB. Look for a "Smart Sell" label.
Alerts: Includes hard-coded alerts for "Smart Buy", "Smart Sell", and "Volume Spikes" for automated notifications.
