The FOMO Buy Sell Indicator is a very specific strategy, cut down to its roots and made perfect for the volatile crypto market.
Many indicators focus only on one aspect, one side, one specific rule. As you know, this is not how life, the market or anything else works.
FOMO combines many different aspects at the same time, scans multiple other indicators and comes to a conclusion based on over 950 lines of code.
It is based on Divergences, Elliott Waves , Ichimoku , MACD , MACD Histogram, RSI , Stoch , CCI , Momentum, OBV, DIOSC, VWMACD, CMF and multiple EMAs.
Every single aspect is weighted into the decision before giving out an indication.
Most buy/sell indicators FAIL because they try to apply the same strategy to every single chart, which
are as individual as humans.
To conquer this problem, FOMO has a wide range of settings and variables which can be easily
modified.
To make it a true strategy, FOMO has as well settings for Take Profit Points, Multiple Entries and Stop Losses. Everything with an Alert Feature of course.
I know from experience that many people take one indicator and are simply too LAZY to add multiple indicators to make a rational choice.
The result of that is that they lose money, by following blatantly only one indicator.
FOMO has additional 7 indicators, perfect for the crypto market, which can be turned on and off.
FOMO Signals Settings
“Show Signals?” - On/Off to show the Buy/Sell Signals. “Aggressiveness” - Increase to make the signals less aggressive
and decrease to make them more aggressive.
“Show Custom FOMO Timeframe?” - On/Off to show FOMO Signals of a different timeframe in addition to the normal ones.
“Custom FOMO Timeframe?” - Choose the timeframe for the custom FOMO signals.
“Use Safe FOMO?” - On/Off to show only “safe” (less but more exact) FOMO signals.
“Safe FOMO Sells” - Settings for the “safe” FOMO Sell Signals. Decrease number for “less safe” Signals.
Increase number for “more safe” Signals.
“Safe FOMO Buys” - Settings for the “safe” FOMO Buy Signals. Decrease number for “more safe” Signals.
Increase number for “less safe” Signals.
FOMO Strategy Settings
“Take Profit 1 ” - On/Off to show TP1 points.
“Take Profit After %” - Set the percentage after which TP1 is
active.
“Take Profit 2 ” - On/Off to show TP2 points.
“Take Profit 2 After %” - Set the percentage after which TP2 is active.
“Take Profit 3 ” - On/Off to show TP3 points.
“Take Profit 3 After %” - Set the percentage after which TP3 is
active.
“Second Entry” - On/Off to show Second Entry points.
“Second Entry After %” - Set the percentage after which Second Entry is active.
“Third Entry ” - On/Off to Third Entry points.
“Third Entry After %” - Set the percentage after which Third
Entry is active.
“Stop Loss ” - On/Off to show Stop Loss points.
“Take Profit After %” - Set the percentage after which Stop Loss is active.
The FOMO Lifeguard is a special feature made to cancel out the “noice” of the signals and show only signals with a great technical significance.
For this FOMO uses the default settings of +7 and - 7. This references to an index value of multiple settings of almost all indicators used in this script.
+7 cuts out all sell signals below the index value of 7.
- 7 cuts out all buy signals above the index value of - 7.
Using the FOMO Lifeguard is a key element for a sustainable and profitable strategy.
As the normal FOMO Signals, the Lifeguard Signals are also bound to the “Aggressiveness”. Should the cut out of signals with the Lifeguard on be too big, try adjusting the “Aggressiveness”.
With this, once can choose and make this indicator PERFECT for his own strategy and trading style. Day Traders would use no “Lifeguard” and aggressive signals.
Swing Traders would use “Lifeguard” and aggressive signals.
To make the life of the FOMO user even easier, I have added all adjustable Take Profit Points, Multiple entry points and Stop Loss points.
Simply choose how many Take Profit points you would like to have and choose the percentage after which you would like to see the Take Profit point appear on the chart and notify you to take profits.
Are you a Trader who likes multiple entries? Also no problem with FOMO. Select how many additional entries you would like to have and after how many percent you would like them to appear on the chart and remind you of adding to the position.
What would a Strategy be without a Stop Loss? Same settings apply here as on the TPs and MEs .
Crypto Modified Indicators
“Show Divergences?” - On/Off to show Divergences on the Chart based on the data of 10 different indicators.
“Show Custom Divergences?” - On/Off to show Divergences on the chart of a custom timeframe.
“Custom Divergence Timeframe?” - Choose the Timeframe for which the Custom Divergences should appear on the chart.
“Show Oversold/bought?” - On/Off to change the colour of the chart in Oversold/bought conditions.
“Oversold/bought value?” - Choose a value for which the chart is Oversold/bought.
“Show Fibonacci Levels?” - On/Off to show automatic Fibonacci Levels.
“Fibonacci Lookback Lenght” - This value states how many candles from right now are taken into account to paint the Fibonacci Levels.
“Fibonacci Lookback Lenght” - Choose a custom Timeframe that should be used to paint the Fibonacci Levels.
Crypto Modified Indicators 2

“ZZ Lenght 1” - Set the first lenght of the ZigZag Lines.
“ZZ Lenght 2” - Set the second lenght of the ZigZag Lines.
FOMO without any doubt has Custom Alerts for all Signals that it is painting on the chart. This goes for the “Normal Signals” as well as for the “Lifeguard Signals”.
One can even choose to receive custom notifications for Take Profit points, Multiple Entry points and the Stop Loss points.
The signals appear on the chart DURING the candle, not at the end of the candle. Therefore, the alerts do this as well. These appear during the candle.
Here we can see all of the possible Alerts that can be chosen to be displayed. In total it is 30 different custom alerts, based on what the trader is looking for and how he is trading.
Personally, I have 10-15 coins that I trade the most and for these I have custom notifications, mostly though only the SAFE FOMO Buy and Sell Signals.
To activate Alerts for FOMO
1) Go to the “ALERT” icon on the top tool bar of your Tradingview.
2) Select “CONDITION” as “—Crypto FOMO Strategy—“
3) Then choose ONE condition from the list of conditions.
4) On “OPTIONS” you can set how many times it appears, I have “Once per Bar”.
4.1) If you want to make sure that the signal is truly there and not just a condition for a second during the candle, choose “ONCE PER BAR CLOSE”.
5) “Expiration Time” sets the time until the alert expires. PRO users have no expiration for alerts.
6) “Alert Actions” give you a row of choices what happens and how you want to be notified.
7) “Message” is the message that you receive inside the notification.
AFTERWORD/DISCLAIMER
FOMO has been created after my goal to #MakeCryptoProfessionalAgain. Every aspect of it has its own and very specific use, which traders have shown to find useful in their trading.
This Indicator is meant to help new and experienced traders to understand the various aspects of this market and access all of the most important and most commonly used tools, with JUST ONE CLICK.
FOMO should be used responsibly and treated as an indicator. Signals, scripts, algorithms can NEVER be 100% exact. It is up to the trader to make a well thought and educated decision, wether to follow a signal or not. Our brains are way more advanced than any indicator and algorithm.
I advise especially for this reason to have not just the signals turned on. Please do not use the SAME settings for each chart. Look which Aggressiveness and Lifeguard Settings fit your chart the most, you will be amazed how well some charts work with FOMO.
FOMO should NOT make you FOMO into a trade anymore. It should teach you to make more educated decisions and especially for margin trading reduce the risk of liquidation.
Should you have problems with being liquidated multiple times, I advise to use the “STOP LOSS” function.
Most importantly, enjoy the indicator and trading in general.

MACKAVELLI Algorithmic ALERTThis is the ALERT script to compliment the strategy script.
When you set the alerts, make sure you use "On Bar Close" as the option, otherwise you will get repeated alerts. You can use this ALERT script with Autoview for automated algorithmic trading.
I had a hard time finding a strategy that would work in different time-frames and multiple different currency pairs. This is what I ended up with after countless hours of research and testing. I designed this strategy for auto-algorithmic trading and it uses three different indicators for Long/Short positions and a 4th indicator for exiting positions.
1) A green-light indicator that tells you whether or not you can go long/short.
2) A confirmation indicator that executes the long/short positions.
3) A chop indicator that measures the distance between the two MA's. When they're too close a trade will not be executed, as this usually indicates a chop zone.
4) A third MA is used as an exit indicator.
5) Finally, a loop function is designed to prevent repeat signals. Once a signal is produced on bar close it cannot happen again until that trade is closed or a new position is opened.
Be advised, you need to adjust the settings for each currency pair and time-frame. Once you do that, back-test it and count the last 100 trades to determine accurately your wins/losses. Long entries are the top of the previous bar, shorts are the bottom of the previous bar. This is a more accurate way of counting wins/losses. Tradingview back-test's are not accurate because of where they estimate your long/short entries are, it's very misleading.
Right now I have it setup for 2hr USDCAD with a back-test of 58% win rate on the last 100 trades.
The chop indicator is set to 0.04, I suggest starting there. 0.03 is the lowest I would go. You can go all the way up to 0.1 and higher if needed. You'll start missing big trades though.
The EMA for green-light signal is set to 10, a lower number will give you more entries but less accurate results, bigger number will give less entries with more accuracy but with missed opportunities. 10 is a good starting point.
This strategy is also designed so you can use tight stop losses to prevent large losses. This is because the strategy typically catches trends on the way up/down, minimizing risk for reversal.
I use Heikin Ashi candles for a smoother chart to work with. I have not tested this strategy with normal candles.
DEMO this strategy before using it live and make sure you back-test and tune it before you start. This is written in PINE V3 SO IT WILL NOT REPAINT.
Trend-following Microprofit w/ Smart DCA + Profit Plot + AlertsThis alert script is oriented towards automated trading with Gunbot.
I call it "Options Galore" because of all the user-configurable settings it offers for up-trending and down-trending markets. (See: " Market Tone " study).
A strategy script for quantitative backtesting, smarter buy/sell indicator such as TSI or Stoch RSI, and stop loss/trailing stop are all in the pipeline. Please share any other suggestions in the comments!
Features:
Set backtesting range, or start forward testing from the current time. Historical Renko charts can lead to repainting, which is avoided by keeping the chart open in your browser and running with real time data.
Average protection: only buy if price drops by a certain % below your average price -- can be automatically toggled by market trender if we want to continue buying during an uptrend. This reduces net profit but increases gross profit.
Gain protection: only sell if price is a certain % above your average price -- can be automatically toggled by market trender. Wait for larger profits in an uptrend, but sell earlier in a down trend.
Minimum percent gain can also be set to a negative value to allow selling at a loss. This is not true stop loss behavior, we still need a sell signal from the indicator. This means we will try to get the best price above your price floor, but in some rare situations we may not sell before the price drops below your price floor.
Position plotter: plots average long position price relative to current price.
Plot loss level: plots average price - loss %. With pyramiding turned off, this can be used to find out where to set your stop loss.
This script is free to use, just comment or PM for access. It is mainly meant to showcase some new features, and is only safe to use in carefully selected markets such as USDT-BTC.
Stay posted for upcoming scripts with smarter signaling and additional features! If you would like to add these features to your own preferred strategy, please PM me.
Volatility-Dynamic Risk Manager MNQ [HERMAN]Title: Volatility-Dynamic Risk Manager MNQ
Description:
The Volatility-Dynamic Risk Manager is a dedicated risk management utility designed specifically for traders of Micro Nasdaq 100 Futures (MNQ).
Many traders struggle with position sizing because they use a fixed Stop Loss size regardless of market conditions. A 10-point stop might be safe in a slow market but easily stopped out in a high-volatility environment. This indicator solves that problem by monitoring real-time volatility (using ATR) and automatically suggesting the appropriate Stop Loss size and Position Size (Contracts) to keep your dollar risk constant.
Note: This tool is hardcoded for MNQ (Micro Nasdaq) with a tick value calculation of $2 per point.
📈 How It Works
-This script operates on a logical flow that adapts to market behavior:
-Volatility Measurement: It calculates the Average True Range (ATR) over a user-defined length (Default: 14) to gauge the current "speed" of the market.
-State Detection: Based on the current ATR, the script classifies the market into one of three states:
Low Volatility: The market is chopping or moving slowly.
Normal Volatility: Standard trading conditions.
High Volatility: The market is moving aggressively.
Dynamic Stop Loss Selection: Depending on the detected state, the script selects a pre-defined Stop Loss (in points) that you have configured for that specific environment.
Position Sizing Calculation: Finally, it calculates how many MNQ contracts you can trade so that if your Stop Loss is hit, you do not lose more than your defined "Max Risk per Trade."
🧮 Methodology & Calculations
Since this script handles risk management, transparency in calculation is vital.
Here is the exact math used:
ATR Calculation: Contracts = Max Risk / Risk Per Contract
⚙️ Settings
You can fully customize the behavior of the risk manager via the settings panel:
Risk Management
-Max Risk per Trade ($): The maximum amount of USD you are willing to lose on a single trade.
Volatility Thresholds (ATR)
-ATR Length: The lookback period for volatility calculation.
-Upper Limit for LOW Volatility: If ATR is below this number, the market is "Low Volatility."
-Lower Limit for HIGH Volatility: If ATR is above this number, the market is "High Volatility." (Anything between Low and High is considered "Normal").
Stop Loss Settings (Points)
-SL for Low/Normal/High: Define how wide your stop loss should be in points for each of the three market states.
Visual Settings
-Color Theme: Switch between Light and Dark modes.
-Panel Position: Move the dashboard to any corner or center of your chart.
-Panel Size: Adjust the scale (Tiny to Large) to fit your screen resolution.
📊 Dashboard Overview
-The on-screen panel provides a quick-glance summary for live execution:
-Market State: Color-coded status (Green = Low Vol, Orange = Normal, Red = High Vol).
-Current ATR: The live volatility reading.
-Suggested SL: The Stop Loss size you should enter in your execution platform.
-CONTRACTS: The calculated position size.
-Est. Loss: The actual dollar amount you will lose if the stop is hit (usually slightly less than your Max Risk due to rounding down).
Who is this for?
-Discretionary and systematic futures traders on MNQ (/MNQ or MES also works with small adjustments)
-Anyone who wants perfect risk consistency regardless of whether the market is asleep or exploding
-Traders who hate manual position-size calculations on every trade
No repainting
Works on any timeframe
Real-time updates on every bar

TraderDemircan - Ultimate Fibonacci Suite (Bearish) v2.0-Overview
This indicator is a comprehensive Fibonacci-based trading tool specifically designed for identifying and trading bearish XABCD harmonic patterns. It combines classical Fibonacci retracement/extension levels with advanced harmonic pattern recognition, risk management calculations, and confluence zone detection to provide traders with a complete analytical framework for short positions.
-What Makes This Script Original
Unlike standard Fibonacci tools that simply draw static levels, this script:
Dynamically identifies swing highs and lows using lookback period analysis
Automatically detects and labels XABCD formation points (X, A, B, C, D) in real-time
Recognizes multiple harmonic patterns (Gartley, Butterfly, Bat, Crab, Shark) with customizable tolerance
Calculates and displays Potential Reversal Zones (PRZ) at point D
Provides integrated risk management with position sizing, stop loss, and multiple take profit levels
Identifies confluence zones where multiple Fibonacci levels intersect
Includes trend filter to validate pattern direction
Offers trading mode presets for scalpers, day traders, and swing traders
-How It Works
XABCD Pattern Detection (Bearish Version)
The script uses a bearish structure where:
Point X: The highest point (swing high) identified within the lookback period
Point A: The lowest point (swing low) that occurs after X
Point B: The retracement level from A back toward X (typically 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, or 0.786)
Point C: The projected target below B (calculated as B minus the X-A range)
Point D: The Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ) where the short position is recommended
The algorithm:
Scans the last N bars (user-defined) to find the highest point (X)
Identifies the lowest point after X (point A)
Monitors price retracement to determine point B
Projects point C and D targets based on Fibonacci extensions
Validates the formation against minimum swing size requirements
Optionally applies trend filter to confirm bearish bias
Fibonacci Levels
The script plots 14 customizable Fibonacci levels:
Retracement levels: 0.0 (X), 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786, 1.0 (A)
Extension levels: 1.272, 1.414, 1.618, 2.0, 2.618, 3.618, 4.236
Each level is color-coded and can be individually toggled on/off. In the bearish version, these levels are calculated from the swing high (X) downward to the swing low (A) and beyond.
Harmonic Pattern Recognition
The indicator automatically detects five classic harmonic patterns when enabled:
Bearish Gartley (75% probability): B retracement at 0.618, D target at 0.786
Bearish Butterfly (70% probability): B retracement at 0.786, D target at 1.272
Bearish Bat (80% probability): B retracement at 0.382-0.5, D target at 0.886
Bearish Crab (85% probability): B retracement at 0.382-0.618, D target at 1.618
Bearish Shark (72% probability): B retracement at 0.382-0.618, D target at 1.13
Pattern detection uses a tolerance parameter (default 5%) to account for market imperfections. When a pattern is identified, it displays the pattern name and estimated success probability.
Risk Management System
The script includes a complete risk management framework:
Position Sizing: Calculates the appropriate position size based on:
Account size (user input)
Risk percentage per trade (user input)
Distance from entry to stop loss
Stop Loss: Automatically placed 0.5% above point X to protect against invalidation
Take Profit Levels:
TP1: 1.272 extension (customizable)
TP2: 1.618 extension (customizable)
TP3: 2.0 extension (customizable)
Risk/Reward Ratio: Displayed in the info panel, calculated as (Entry - TP3) / (Stop Loss - Entry)
Confluence Detection
When multiple Fibonacci levels converge within 0.5% of each other, the script highlights these zones with translucent boxes. These confluence zones often act as strong support/resistance areas and increase the probability of reversal.
Minimum confluence threshold is customizable (default: 2 levels).
Trend Filter
Optional moving average filter (default: 50-period SMA) helps validate that patterns are forming in the direction of the prevailing trend. When enabled with "Only Show Patterns in Trend Direction," the indicator will only display formations that align with a bearish trend (price below MA).
-How to Use
For Scalpers:
Select "Scalper" trading mode
Use lower timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m)
Focus on TP1 and TP2 levels
Tight stop loss above point X
For Day Traders:
Select "Day Trader" trading mode
Use medium timeframes (15m, 30m, 1H)
Target TP2 and TP3 levels
Monitor confluence zones for entry refinement
For Swing Traders:
Select "Swing Trader" trading mode
Use higher timeframes (4H, D)
Hold for TP3 or beyond
Use trend filter to confirm macro direction
Entry Strategy:
Wait for point D (PRZ) to be reached

Target projections based on range extension
Position tracking relative to PM range
Distance calculations to both levels
How To Use
For Day Traders:
Check the "Either Level" percentage - if 90%+, at least one level will likely be touched
Review time bucket statistics - most touches happen 9:30-10:00 AM
Monitor "Both Levels" rate - typically only 20-30%, meaning round trips are rare
Use range percentile to gauge if expansion or mean reversion is likely
For Scalpers:
Enable touch markers to see exact level tests
Use proximity alerts to prepare for potential bounces
Monitor first touch times - early touches often lead to continuations
Check rejection signals for quick reversal trades
For Swing Position Sizing:
Use historical touch rates to assess probability of level tests
Review range size vs average for stop placement guidance
Check timing analysis to avoid holding through low-probability windows
Use target projections for realistic profit targets

Data Accumulation: Historical statistics build over time as indicator runs; requires specified lookback period to populate
Chart Timeframe: Works on any timeframe but recommended 3-5 minute charts for best premarket level precision
Memory Reset: Each new premarket session resets tracking for fresh daily analysis
Best Practices
Use 60-100 day lookback for statistical significance
Combine high touch rates (80%+) with time bucket data for highest probability setups
Small ranges (< 50% of average) often lead to expansion moves
Large ranges (> 150% of average) often consolidate or mean-revert
First 30 minutes typically contains 50%+ of all level touches
After 12:00 PM, probability of untouched levels being hit drops significantly

Nexural QWAPQWAP - Quantitative Weighted Average Price with True Order Flow Analysis
INTRODUCTION
This is legit one of the best indicators I can possibly make. Since I don't have access to tick data on tradingview I can't claim it's as accurate as possible but it is a very polished indicator for VWAP based trading and the bands are VERY useful for mean reverting trading.
QWAP Elite is an advanced Volume Weighted Average Price indicator that incorporates true order flow analysis through intrabar data decomposition. Unlike traditional VWAP indicators that simply calculate price multiplied by volume divided by total volume, this indicator attempts to identify the directional intent behind that volume by analyzing whether buying or selling pressure dominated each bar at a granular level.
The fundamental premise of this indicator is that not all volume is created equal. A bar with 10000 contracts where 8000 were aggressive buyers tells a very different story than a bar with 10000 contracts where 8000 were aggressive sellers, even if both bars close at the same price. Traditional VWAP treats these identically. QWAP attempts to weight the VWAP calculation based on this directional flow information.
This indicator was designed for traders who believe that institutional order flow leaves detectable footprints in price and volume data, and that identifying these footprints can provide an edge in determining likely future price direction. It is not a holy grail and it is not a replacement for proper risk management and trading discipline.
HOW THE INDICATOR WORKS
The True CVD Engine
The core of this indicator is its Cumulative Volume Delta calculation. Most indicators on TradingView approximate buying and selling volume by looking at whether a bar closed higher or lower than it opened. If the bar closed green, they assign all volume as buying volume. If it closed red, they assign all volume as selling volume. This is a crude approximation that misses significant nuance.
QWAP Elite uses the request security lower tf function to pull actual intrabar data. This means if you are on a 5 minute chart, the indicator is looking at the individual ticks or smaller timeframe bars that occurred within that 5 minute period. It then calculates how much volume occurred on up moves versus down moves within that bar, giving a much more accurate picture of whether buyers or sellers were more aggressive.
The Delta Ratio is calculated as the net delta divided by total volume, resulting in a value between negative one and positive one. A value of positive 0.6 means that 80 percent of volume was buying and 20 percent was selling. A value of negative 0.4 means that 70 percent was selling and 30 percent was buying. This ratio is then used to weight the VWAP calculation.
The intrabar precision is displayed in the dashboard as the number of bars analyzed. More bars means more granular data and theoretically more accurate delta calculation. The indicator automatically selects an appropriate lower timeframe based on your chart timeframe to balance accuracy with computational performance.
VIX Integration and Volatility Intelligence
The indicator pulls live VIX data and uses it to adjust its calculations dynamically. The VIX or CBOE Volatility Index represents the market expectation of 30 day forward looking volatility derived from SP500 option prices. When VIX is elevated, markets behave differently than when VIX is compressed.
Specifically, the indicator uses VIX to adjust the standard deviation bands around VWAP. In high volatility environments where VIX is above 25 or 30, the bands automatically widen to account for larger price swings. In low volatility environments where VIX is below 15, the bands tighten. This prevents false signals that would occur if static band widths were used across all market conditions.
The indicator also pulls VVIX which is the volatility of the VIX itself and VIX9D which is the 9 day VIX. By comparing VIX to VIX9D, the indicator can identify term structure conditions. When short term VIX is higher than longer term VIX, this is called backwardation and often indicates fear or stress in the market. When short term VIX is lower, this is contango and indicates complacency.
The VIX regime classification in the dashboard shows CALM when VIX is below 12, NORMAL between 12 and 20, ELEVATED between 20 and 30, and FEAR when above 30. Each regime suggests different trading approaches and position sizing considerations.
DETECTION SYSTEMS
Absorption Detection
Absorption occurs when large volume enters the market but price barely moves. This happens when one side is absorbing all the aggression from the other side. For example, if aggressive sellers are hitting the bid repeatedly but price is not dropping, it suggests there is a large buyer absorbing all that selling pressure. This often precedes reversals.
The indicator detects absorption by looking for bars with above average volume, below average range, and high wick ratios. A high wick ratio means the bar has long wicks relative to its body, indicating price moved but was pushed back. When these conditions coincide with strong delta in one direction, it suggests institutional absorption.
Liquidity Sweep Detection
Liquidity sweeps, also known as stop hunts, occur when price briefly exceeds a recent high or low to trigger stop losses, then reverses. Large traders need liquidity to fill their orders, and stops clustered above swing highs or below swing lows represent pools of liquidity they can tap into.
The indicator identifies sweeps by detecting when price exceeds the 5 or 20 bar high or low but closes back inside. A bull trap is identified when price sweeps above recent highs but closes below them, suggesting sellers trapped buyers who bought the breakout. A bear trap is the opposite, where price sweeps lows but closes above, trapping shorts.
Sweep detection is most useful when combined with delta analysis. A sweep with strong opposing delta, meaning price swept highs but delta was heavily negative, is a higher probability reversal signal than a sweep alone.
CVD Divergence Detection
Divergence between price and cumulative delta is one of the most reliable signals the indicator produces. When price is making higher highs but cumulative delta is making lower highs, it suggests that buying pressure is weakening even though price is still rising. This bearish divergence often precedes pullbacks or reversals.
Conversely, bullish divergence occurs when price makes lower lows but cumulative delta makes higher lows. This suggests that even though price is dropping, buying pressure is actually increasing, and sellers may be exhausted. These divergences are calculated over a 5 bar lookback period.
Stacked Imbalance Detection
Stacked imbalances occur when there are three or more consecutive bars with strong delta in the same direction. This represents sustained aggressive positioning by one side of the market. Three consecutive bars with delta above 0.5 suggests aggressive institutional buying. Three consecutive bars below negative 0.5 suggests aggressive institutional selling.
The count of consecutive imbalanced bars is displayed in the detection section. Four or more stacked imbalances is considered highly significant. This pattern often precedes continuation moves in the direction of the imbalance, as it suggests a committed directional player has entered the market.
Institutional Flow Detection
The indicator attempts to identify institutional activity by looking for the convergence of multiple factors. Specifically, it requires strong delta above 0.5 or below negative 0.5, volume persistence across multiple bars meaning above average volume for at least 2 to 3 bars in a row, and delta persistence meaning delta in the same direction for multiple consecutive bars.
When these factors align, the dashboard displays INST BUY or INST SELL instead of RETAIL. This classification should be viewed as a probability estimate rather than a certainty. Retail traders can produce similar patterns, and institutions can hide their activity. The designation is meant to highlight periods where the characteristics of flow are consistent with larger players.
ADAPTIVE WEIGHT SYSTEM
The indicator includes an adaptive system that automatically adjusts how much weight the CVD analysis has on the VWAP calculation. In quiet, low volatility markets, the CVD weight is reduced because the signal to noise ratio is lower. In active, high volatility markets with clear directional flow, the weight is increased.
The adaptation considers multiple factors including VIX regime, delta clarity meaning how strong and consistent the delta readings are, volume persistence, and time of day session weighting. The current adaptive weight is displayed in the dashboard and typically ranges from 0.05 to 0.50.
The adaptation speed setting controls how quickly the weight responds to changing conditions. A higher speed means faster adaptation but potentially more noise. A lower speed means smoother adaptation but potentially slower response to regime changes.
SESSION AWARENESS
Not all trading hours are equal. The indicator applies different weights to different trading sessions based on typical liquidity and reliability patterns. The open drive, which covers 9 30 to 10 30 AM Eastern time, receives a 1.4x weight multiplier because this is typically the highest volume and most directionally significant period of the day.
Power hour from 3 00 to 4 00 PM Eastern receives a 1.3x multiplier as institutional traders often execute their daily positioning in this final hour. The lunch hour from 11 00 AM to 2 00 PM receives a 0.9x multiplier due to typically lower volume and more choppy price action. Premarket receives 0.7x and after hours receives 0.5x due to thin liquidity and unreliable signals.
The current session is displayed in the dashboard header. Traders should consider reducing position sizes and widening stops during lower weight sessions, particularly premarket and after hours where the indicator readings are less reliable.
COMPOSITE SCORES
Bias Score
The Bias Score ranges from negative 100 to positive 100 and represents the indicators overall directional lean. It synthesizes delta analysis, VWAP momentum, and multi-timeframe confluence into a single number. A score above 50 indicates strong bullish bias. A score below negative 50 indicates strong bearish bias. Scores between negative 20 and positive 20 are considered neutral.
The visual bias meter in the dashboard shows this score as a bar that leans left for bearish or right for bullish. This provides an at a glance summary of the indicators current directional reading without needing to interpret multiple individual metrics.
Setup Quality Score
The Setup Quality Score ranges from 0 to 100 and measures how many factors are aligning to support a potential trade. It awards points for strong delta readings, volume persistence, multi-timeframe confluence, detection events like absorption or divergence, and favorable session timing. A score above 60 suggests multiple factors are confirming. A score below 30 suggests the setup lacks confirmation.
This score is designed to help traders filter trades. Rather than acting on every signal, traders can set a minimum quality threshold. For example, only taking trades when quality is above 50 will filter out lower probability setups. Higher thresholds mean fewer trades but potentially higher win rates.
Heat Score
The Heat Score measures overall market activity intensity and ranges from 0 to 100. It combines volume heat meaning how elevated current volume is relative to average, volatility heat based on ATR expansion or VIX levels, delta heat meaning how strong the current delta reading is, and deviation heat meaning how far price is from VWAP.
Markets with heat above 75 are classified as EXTREME and typically represent high opportunity but also high risk environments. Heat between 50 and 75 is ACTIVE and represents good trading conditions. Heat between 25 and 50 is NORMAL. Heat below 25 is QUIET and suggests range bound conditions where mean reversion strategies may outperform trend following.
DASHBOARD GUIDE
Header Row
The header row displays QWAP with a lightning bolt icon, the current session abbreviation like OPEN or POWER or LUNCH, the current regime classification, and VIX status with a colored indicator. Green indicates low VIX and favorable conditions. Yellow indicates elevated VIX. Red indicates high VIX or that VIX data is unavailable.
Signal Row
The signal row is the largest and most prominent element. It displays the primary signal which will be LONG, SHORT, REVERSAL, or WAIT. LONG appears when bias is strongly bullish and quality is high. SHORT appears when bias is strongly bearish and quality is high. REVERSAL appears when divergence or absorption is detected at an extreme sigma level. WAIT appears when conditions do not meet the threshold for a signal.
Next to the signal is the quality score displayed as Q followed by a number out of 100. This helps traders quickly assess how confirmed the signal is. A LONG signal with Q 72 is more compelling than a LONG signal with Q 45.
Order Flow Section
The delta row shows the current delta direction as BUY or SELL, the percentage strength, a visual indicator of strength with filled or empty circles, and an arrow indicating whether delta is accelerating or decelerating. The flow row shows whether activity is classified as INST BUY, INST SELL, or RETAIL, along with the number of intrabar data points used in the calculation.
Market Section
The heat row displays the heat score as a visual bar and numeric value. The vol row shows volatility state as EXPAND, COMPRESS, or NORMAL along with relative volume. The dist row shows distance from VWAP in sigmas and percentage, plus momentum direction.
Detection Section
This section only appears when detections are active. It displays warning icons next to detection types like BUY ABS, SELL ABS, BULL TRAP, BEAR TRAP, BULL DIV, BEAR DIV, BUY STACK, or SELL STACK. Each detection includes a score representing its strength or significance.
HOW TO USE THIS INDICATOR
Recommended Workflow
First, check the regime and session. If VIX is in FEAR mode or you are in premarket or after hours, consider reduced position sizing or waiting for better conditions.
Second, look at the primary signal and quality score. Signals with quality below 40 are low conviction. Consider requiring quality above 50 or 60 before acting.
Third, check the bias meter for overall directional lean. Ensure it aligns with your intended trade direction.
Fourth, review active detections. Absorption and divergence near VWAP bands increase reversal probability. Stacked imbalances support continuation.
Fifth, use VWAP and sigma bands for entry, stop, and target placement. The bands provide natural support and resistance levels based on statistical distribution.
Sixth, monitor for changes in delta and flow classification. Institutional activity transitioning to retail or delta reversing direction are warning signs.
TRADE EXAMPLES
Mean Reversion Setup
Price extended to 2.5 sigma above VWAP. Signal shows REVERSAL. Quality is 55. Absorption detected with BUY ABS showing score of 2.3. Delta is showing SELL at 45 percent despite price being elevated. This suggests buyers are being absorbed and a pullback to VWAP is likely. Enter short with stop above the 3 sigma band and target at VWAP or 1 sigma band.
Trend Continuation Setup
Signal shows LONG with quality 68. Bias meter shows STRONG BULL. BUY STACK detected with 4 consecutive imbalanced bars. Flow shows INST BUY. Price has pulled back to VWAP and is finding support.

HONEST ASSESSMENT OF STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
Strengths
True CVD calculation using intrabar data is significantly more accurate than close greater than open approximations used by most indicators. This provides genuine insight into buying versus selling pressure.
VIX integration with term structure analysis is institutional grade thinking applied to a retail tool. Dynamic band adjustment prevents false signals in different volatility regimes.
Multiple detection systems provide different perspectives on the same market. Absorption, sweeps, divergence, and imbalances each capture different footprints of institutional activity.
Composite scores synthesize complex information into actionable numbers. Traders do not need to mentally integrate 15 different metrics. The quality score and bias score do this automatically.
Session awareness prevents trading during low quality periods. The automatic weighting helps filter out noise from premarket, after hours, and lunch periods.
Adaptive system self adjusts to market conditions. Traders do not need to manually tune parameters as volatility and activity change.
Weaknesses and Limitations
Intrabar data is still an approximation of true tick level order flow. Without actual tick data showing individual trades hitting bid versus lifting offer, even this calculation has error bars. Professional platforms like Sierra Chart or Quantower with direct exchange feeds will always have more accurate delta.
The indicator is computationally heavy. Users may experience slower chart loading particularly on lower end hardware or when viewing many bars. The optimization features help but cannot eliminate this cost entirely.
Institutional detection is probabilistic not definitive. Retail traders in aggregate can produce patterns that look institutional. Institutions can and do hide their activity. The INST BUY and INST SELL labels should be viewed as probability shifts not certainties.
The indicator works best on liquid instruments with significant volume. On thinly traded stocks or during illiquid periods, delta calculations become noisy and unreliable. The indicator is optimized for ES, NQ, SPY, QQQ, and similar high volume instruments.
VIX integration only works for US equity index products. If trading forex, crypto, or other asset classes, the VIX data is not directly applicable and should be disabled.
No indicator can predict the future. Order flow analysis shows what happened and what is happening. It cannot guarantee what will happen next. Large players can and do reverse their positioning. News events can invalidate any technical setup instantly.
The complexity of the indicator means there is a learning curve. New users may be overwhelmed by the number of metrics displayed. It takes time to develop intuition for what combinations of readings are significant.
The indicator does not include automated backtesting or historical performance statistics. Users cannot easily quantify the win rate or expected value of following its signals without manual journaling and analysis.
RISK MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES
This indicator is a tool not a trading system. It provides information that may help inform trading decisions but it does not make those decisions for you. Proper risk management is essential regardless of how compelling the indicator readings appear.
Position Sizing
Never risk more than 1 to 2 percent of your account on any single trade regardless of how high the quality score is. High quality setups still fail regularly. A setup with 70 percent win rate still loses 30 percent of the time, and those losses can come in clusters.
Consider reducing position size when VIX is in ELEVATED or FEAR regime, when trading during premarket or after hours sessions, when quality score is below 50, and when multiple detection systems are conflicting with each other.
Stop Loss Placement
The sigma bands provide natural levels for stop placement. For mean reversion trades, stops should typically be placed beyond the next sigma level. For example, if entering short at 2 sigma, place stop beyond 3 sigma. For trend trades entering at VWAP, consider stops beyond 1 sigma in the opposite direction.
Stops should also respect market structure. If there is a recent swing high or low near your calculated stop level, extend the stop beyond that swing point. Placing stops at obvious levels invites stop hunting.
In high VIX environments, consider wider stops. The VIX band multiplier automatically widens the sigma bands, and your stops should reflect this increased volatility. A stop that works in a 15 VIX environment may be too tight when VIX is 30.
Taking Profits
The sigma bands also provide natural profit targets. For mean reversion trades, VWAP itself is often the first target with the opposite 1 sigma band as an extended target. For trend trades, each sigma band can serve as a scaling point.
Pay attention to delta and flow changes as price approaches targets. If delta is weakening or flow classification shifts from institutional to retail, consider taking profits early. Conversely, if delta is strengthening into the target, consider holding for extension.
When to Avoid Trading
Consider sitting out when the signal shows WAIT and quality is below 30. In these conditions, the indicator is essentially saying there is no clear edge. Trading anyway is gambling not trading.
Avoid trading during major news events. The indicator cannot account for sudden information shocks. Economic releases, Fed announcements, earnings reports, and geopolitical events can invalidate any technical setup instantly.
Consider avoiding the first and last 5 minutes of regular trading hours. These periods often have erratic price action and unreliable delta calculations due to order imbalances at open and close.
SETTINGS REFERENCE
Core Engine Settings
VWAP Source determines what price is used for the VWAP calculation. The default HLC3 uses the average of high, low, and close which provides a balanced representation. HL2 uses just high and low average. Close uses only the closing price. Most traders should leave this at HLC3.
True CVD Engine should remain enabled for accurate order flow analysis. Disabling it falls back to close greater than open estimation which is significantly less accurate. Only disable if you are experiencing performance issues.
CVD Impact controls how much the delta analysis affects the VWAP calculation. Higher values mean delta has more influence. The default 0.2 provides a balance. Increase toward 0.5 if you want delta to have stronger effect. Decrease toward 0.1 if you want something closer to traditional VWAP.
Detection Sensitivity offers three presets. Conservative produces fewer signals but higher confidence. Balanced is the default middle ground. Aggressive produces more signals but with more false positives. New users should start with Balanced and adjust based on experience.
VIX Settings
VIX Integration should be enabled when trading US equity index products like ES, NQ, SPY, or QQQ. Disable it when trading forex, crypto, commodities, or individual stocks where VIX is not directly applicable.
VIX Symbol allows selection between VIX for SP500 volatility, VXN for Nasdaq volatility, and RVX for Russell 2000 volatility. Choose the one most relevant to your trading instrument.
VIX Baseline sets the historical average VIX level used for normalization. The default 16 represents the long term average. If trading in a persistently higher or lower VIX environment, adjusting this can help calibrate the regime classifications.
Display Settings
Dashboard Style offers three options. Compact shows only the signal and bias meter for minimal screen footprint. Elite adds order flow and market sections for balanced information. Full adds VIX details, detections, and adaptive system information for complete visibility.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why does the indicator sometimes show WAIT when there is an obvious trend
The signal system is designed to identify high probability entry points not to constantly indicate trend direction. A strong uptrend may show WAIT because price is extended from VWAP and a pullback is likely before continuation. The indicator is trying to prevent you from buying the top of an impulse move.
Why is my delta reading different from another order flow tool
Different platforms calculate delta differently. Some use tick data. Some use time based aggregation. Some use volume based aggregation. The timeframe being analyzed matters as well. QWAP uses intrabar data which is more accurate than close versus open approximations but less accurate than true tick data from professional platforms.
Can I use this indicator for scalping
The indicator can be used on lower timeframes but becomes less reliable. On 1 minute charts, the intrabar decomposition has fewer data points to work with. For scalping, consider using 3 to 5 minute charts as a minimum. Also note that the session weighting and detection systems are calibrated for swing and intraday trading, not ultra short term scalping.
Does this indicator repaint
The VWAP line and sigma bands can adjust slightly as intrabar data comes in during a live bar. Once a bar closes, those values are fixed. The signals and detections are calculated on closed bars and do not repaint. For live trading, wait for bar close confirmation before acting on signals.
What markets does this work best on
The indicator is optimized for high liquidity US equity index products including ES, NQ, SPY, QQQ, IWM, and DIA. It can work on other liquid instruments but the VIX integration should be disabled for non equity products. Avoid using on low volume stocks or illiquid markets where delta calculations will be noisy.
DISCLAIMER
This indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It is not financial advice. Past performance of any trading methodology is not indicative of future results. Trading futures, options, and other derivatives involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.
The creator of this indicator makes no guarantees about its accuracy or profitability. All trading decisions are the sole responsibility of the user. Before trading with real money, thoroughly test any strategy in simulation and ensure you understand the risks involved.
Order flow analysis provides information about market microstructure but cannot predict future price movements with certainty. Markets are complex adaptive systems influenced by countless variables including news events, economic data, central bank policy, geopolitical developments, and collective human psychology. No indicator can fully capture this complexity.

AlphaTrend++ offset labelsAlphaTrend++
Overview
The AlphaTrend++ is an advanced Pine Script indicator designed to help traders identify buy and sell opportunities in trending and volatile markets. Building on trend-following principles, it uses a modified Average True Range (ATR) calculation combined with volume or momentum data to plot a dynamic trend line. The indicator overlays on the price chart, displaying a colored trend line, a filled trend zone, buy/sell signals, and optional stop-loss tick labels, making it ideal for day trading or swing trading, particularly in markets like futures (e.g., MES).
What It Does
This indicator generates buy and sell signals based on the direction and momentum of a custom trend line, filtered by optional time restrictions and signal frequency logic. The trend line adapts to price action and volatility, with a filled zone highlighting trend strength. Buy/sell signals are plotted as labels, and stop-loss distances are displayed in ticks (customizable for instruments like MES). The indicator supports standard chart types for realistic signal generation.
How It Works
The indicator employs the following components:
Trend Line Calculation: A dynamic trend line is calculated using ATR adjusted by a user-defined multiplier, combined with either Money Flow Index (MFI) or Relative Strength Index (RSI) depending on volume availability. The line tracks price movements, adjusting upward or downward based on trend direction and volatility.
Trend Zone: The area between the current trend line and its value two bars prior is filled, colored green for bullish trends (upward movement) or red for bearish trends (downward movement), providing a visual cue of trend strength.
Signal Generation: Buy signals occur when the trend line crosses above its value two bars ago, and sell signals occur when it crosses below, with optional filtering to reduce signal noise (based on bar timing logic). Signals can be restricted to a 9:00–15:00 UTC trading window.
Stop-Loss Ticks: For each signal, the indicator calculates the distance to the trend line (acting as a stop-loss level) in ticks, using a user-defined tick size (default 0.25 for MES). These are displayed as labels below/above the signal.
Time Filter: An optional filter limits signals to 9:00–15:00 UTC, aligning with active trading sessions like the US market open.
The indicator ensures compatibility with standard chart types (e.g., candlestick or bar charts) to avoid unrealistic results associated with non-standard types like Heikin Ashi or Renko.
How to Use It
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to a candlestick or bar chart on TradingView.
Configure Settings:
Multiplier: Adjust the ATR multiplier (default 1.0) to control trend line sensitivity. Higher values widen the stop-loss distance.
Common Period: Set the ATR and MFI/RSI period (default 14) for trend calculations.
No Volume Data: Enable if volume data is unavailable (e.g., for certain forex pairs), switching from MFI to RSI.
Tick Size: Set the tick size for stop-loss calculations (default 0.25 for MES futures).
Show Buy/Sell Signals: Toggle signal labels (default enabled).
Show Stop Loss Ticks: Toggle stop-loss tick labels (default enabled).
Use Time Filter: Restrict signals to 9:00–15:00 UTC (default disabled).
Use Filtered Signals: Enable to reduce signal frequency using bar timing logic (default enabled).
Interpret Signals:
Buy Signal: A blue “BUY” label below the bar indicates a potential long entry (trend line crossover, passing filters).
Sell Signal: A red “SELL” label above the bar indicates a potential short entry (trend line crossunder, passing filters).
Trend Zone: Green fill suggests bullish momentum; red fill suggests bearish momentum.
Stop-Loss Ticks: Gray labels show the stop-loss distance in ticks, helping with risk management.
Monitor Context: Use the trend line and filled zone to confirm the market’s direction before acting on signals.
Unique Features
Adaptive Trend Line: Combines ATR with MFI or RSI to create a responsive trend line that adjusts to volatility and market conditions.
Tick-Based Stop-Loss: Displays stop-loss distances in ticks, customizable for specific instruments, aiding precise risk management.
Signal Filtering: Optional bar timing logic reduces false signals, improving reliability in choppy markets.
Trend Zone Visualization: The filled zone between trend line values enhances trend clarity, making it easier to assess momentum.
Time-Restricted Trading: Optional 9:00–15:00 UTC filter aligns signals with high-liquidity sessions.
Notes
Use on standard candlestick or bar charts to ensure accurate signals.
Test the indicator on a demo account to optimize settings for your market and timeframe.
Combine with other analysis (e.g., support/resistance, volume spikes) for better decision-making.
The indicator is not a standalone system; use it as part of a broader trading strategy.
Limitations
Signals may lag in highly volatile or low-liquidity markets due to ATR-based calculations.
The 9:00–15:00 UTC time filter may not suit all markets; disable it for 24-hour assets like forex or crypto.
Stop-loss tick calculations assume consistent tick sizes; verify compatibility with your instrument.
This indicator is designed for traders seeking a robust, trend-following tool with customizable risk management and signal filtering, optimized for active trading sessions.
This update enhances label customization, clarity, and signal usability while preserving all existing AlphaTrend++ logic. The goal is to improve readability during live trading and allow traders to personalize the visual footprint of entries and stop-loss levels.
Improvements
• Cleaner Label Placement
Labels now maintain consistent spacing from the candle, regardless of volatility or ATR expansion.
• Enhanced Visual Structure

HTF Entry Model+ [#] by @shulktradesHTF Entry Model+ by @shulktrades
Overview
The HTF Entry Model+ is a multi-timeframe trading indicator that identifies algorithmic signatures in price action and automatically displays complete entry setups with risk-to-reward projections. When specific order flow patterns are detected on a higher timeframe, the indicator calculates and displays entry zones, stop loss placement, and multiple profit targets - giving traders a complete trade plan before price reaches the entry level.
What This Indicator Does
Identifies Algorithmic Price Patterns
The indicator monitors a higher timeframe to detect specific signatures in price action that signal potential reversals or continuations. These patterns represent moments when institutional order flow creates measurable shifts in market dynamics.
Key Points:
- Analyzes higher timeframe price structure continuously
- Detects order flow signatures that precede directional moves
- Confirms patterns only when specific conditions are met
- Filters out low-quality signals automatically

What Gets Displayed:
- Entry zone (optimal price area to enter the trade)
- Stop loss level (where to exit if wrong)
- Multiple profit targets (1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, 1:6, 1:7)
- OTE levels (Optimal Trade Entry zone & OTE + take profit model)
- Risk-reward ratios for each target
Adapts to Your Timeframe
The indicator intelligently selects an appropriate higher timeframe based on your current chart, or you can manually choose which timeframe to analyze.
Timeframe Relationships:
- 1-5 minute charts → analyzes 15-60 minute structure
- 15-30 minute charts → analyzes 4-hour structure
- 1 hour charts → analyzes daily structure
- 4 hour charts → analyzes weekly structure
- Daily charts → analyzes monthly structure
How Traders Use This Indicator
Step 1: Wait for Setup Detection
The indicator runs in the background, continuously scanning the higher timeframe for algorithmic signatures. When detected, a horizontal marker appears at the pattern formation level.
Step 2: Review the Entry Model
Once confirmed, the complete risk-reward projection displays instantly:
- All entry and exit levels are clearly labeled
- Stop loss shows exactly where the setup invalidates
- Multiple targets allow for systematic profit-taking
- Color coding shows bullish (green) or bearish (red) direction
Step 3: Plan Your Trade
Before price retraces to the entry zone, you have complete information:
- Know your exact entry price levels
- Know your exact stop loss placement
- Know multiple profit target levels
- Calculate position size based on the risk shown
Step 4: Execute When Price Returns
Wait for price to retrace back into the entry zone (OTE levels), then execute your trade with predefined parameters.
Step 5: Manage According to the Model
Use the displayed targets to manage your position:
- Scale out partial profits at each target level
- Move stops to breakeven after first or second target
- Let remaining position run toward extended targets

Important Trading Considerations
Price Action Variability
It is important to note that market conditions vary and price does not always retrace into the displayed entry zones. In certain market environments, particularly during strong impulsive moves or high-impact news events, price may move directly toward the projected targets without providing an opportunity to enter at the optimal entry levels. Traders should be prepared to either wait for proper entry conditions or adjust their strategy accordingly based on their risk tolerance and trading plan.

Strong Candle and Probability Levels Light [SYNC & TRADE]Indicator Description: "Strong Candle and Probability Levels Light "
Core Philosophy: This indicator is not just a collection of random signals. It is a complete trading system built around two core concepts: Strength (Volume-based Candles) and Probability (Fibonacci Levels), synchronized between spot and futures markets to filter out noise and manipulations.
🎯 The "Strong Candle Defense" Strategy
The primary tactic is to enter in the direction of the market's dominant force at an optimal price.
1. Identifying Strength: The indicator identifies "Strong Candles" in real-time — candles with anomalously high volume and significant delta (buyer/seller dominance), confirmed across multiple timeframes. They are marked with circles (blue for bullish, red for bearish) and Z-level labels showing the statistical significance of the move.
2. "Ladder" Entry: We do not chase the market. The strategy is to wait for a pullback (retest) to the body of the strong candle or its key internal Fibonacci levels (38.2%, 50%, 61.8%) for a favorable entry. The position is built in parts ("scaling in") as the bounce is confirmed.
3. Profit-Taking Targets: The main take-profit targets are set at the external Fibonacci extension levels:
First Target: 161.8% — The classic level to secure the first portion of profits.
Second Target: 261.8% (or 227% in Light mode) — The level for capturing extended moves, where the remaining position is exited.
Refined Stop-Loss Rules and Strategy Invalidation Conditions:
Primary Stop-Loss: Placed beyond the extreme of the strong candle (the Fibonacci grid's 0% level). For a long position — below the strong candle's low; for a short position — above its high.
Strategy Invalidation Criterion: The strategy is considered invalidated, and the position should be exited, if the price closes a candle's body beyond the key protective level. This specifically means:
For a Long: A candle closes (the close price) below the low of the strong candle.
For a Short: A candle closes (the close price) above the high of the strong candle.
This criterion, especially on lower timeframes, provides a stricter and more timely signal of a setup failure than a mere wick break.
Alternative Supertrend Stop-Loss: The proprietary Supertrend line can be used as a dynamic trailing stop. The stop-loss is placed behind the Supertrend line, and a candle close beyond this line also signals a trend violation and the need to exit the position.
📊 Unique Automated Fibonacci Grids
Our Fibonacci grids are not the standard, static drawing tool. They are a dynamic profit-taking and management system.
Automatic Plotting: A new grid is automatically drawn on every new strong candle, freeing the trader from manual work.
Smart Management:
Self-Cleaning: When enabled, the grid automatically removes itself after the price has fully "filled" its range (reached the 0% level), preventing chart clutter.
Dynamic Levels: Depending on the selected type (Fibonacci Light, Standard, Extended, Geometric), a different set of internal and external levels is plotted, adapting the tool to various trading styles from scalping to position trading.
Key Difference from Standard Tools: Unlike the basic Fibonacci tool, our grids are an integral part of the trading logic. They are tied to strong candles (high-probability points), update automatically, and act as an execution system for the strategy, not just an analysis tool.
📈 Proprietary Supertrend with Advanced Filtering
We do not use the standard, off-the-shelf Supertrend. Our version is a hybrid algorithm, supercharged with volume analysis.
Dynamic ATR Multiplier: The indicator's multiplier adapts to market conditions. During high volume delta (strong buying/selling pressure), the multiplier increases, making the trend line less sensitive and helping you stay in the trade during strong impulses.
Strong Candle Filter: Supertrend signal changes can be optionally restricted to confirm only on strong candles. This drastically reduces false entries. The trend doesn't change just based on volatility (ATR), but upon confirmation by real strength (volume).
Profit Potential: Combining signals from this filtered Supertrend with the "Strong Candle Defense" strategy allows for precise entry timing in the direction of the major trend, with clear and statistically sound profit targets.
⚙️ Additional Systems for Enhanced Accuracy
Spot & Futures Sync: The indicator compares strength between spot and futures markets. A divergence (e.g., a strong long candle on spot but weakness on futures) is marked as a potential "Manipulation" (X), warning you of an unreliable signal.
Multi-Timeframe Volume Analysis: Delta and volume are analyzed from lower timeframes, providing a more granular picture within a single candle of your current TF.
Supertrend Table: A quick overview of the trend direction across all major timeframes (from 5m to 1W) in a single table.
Conclusion:
The "Strong Candle and Probability Levels Light" indicator is a professional suite for traders who want to trade not just signals, but probabilities. The strategy, built around defending strong candles, combined with unique automated Fibonacci grids and an adaptive Supertrend, provides a clear plan from entry to exit. The use of market synchronization and multi-timeframe volume analysis minimizes noise and false signals, allowing you to focus on high-quality setups.
Turtle Long & Short (Donchian + N-Stop). Overview and Core Functionality
The indicator implements the classic Turtle Trading System rules. It uses two sets of Donchian Channels for generating entry and exit signals, and the Average True Range (ATR), referred to as N, to calculate a dynamic, volatility-adjusted initial stop-loss.
The script simulates a position's life cycle (entry, holding the fixed initial stop, and exiting) and only conditionally displays the calculated initial stop-loss price on the chart when a trade signal is active.
2. Key Input Parameters (Adjustable Settings)
The script provides detailed input groups for customization:
A. Signal Settings:
len_entry (Default: 20): Period for the Entry Donchian Channel (20-day high/low breakout).
len_exit (Default: 10): Period for the Exit Donchian Channel (10-day low/high trailing stop).
B. Risk Settings (N):
len_atr (Default: 20): Period used to calculate the Average True Range (N), which determines volatility.
stop_loss_multiplier (Default: 2.0): The factor applied to N to calculate the initial stop-loss (e.g., 2.0×N=2N).
C. Label Display: Controls the appearance of the entry labels.
label_background_color_long / label_background_color_short: Background color for Long/Short entry labels.
label_text_color: Text color for the labels.
label_size_input: Size control for the label (tiny, small, normal, large, huge).
3. Trading Logic and State Management
A. Entry and Exit Conditions
Trade Type Entry Condition Trailing Exit Condition Stop-Loss (SL)
Long Close > 20-period High Close < 10-period Low Fixed Entry Price−(Multiplier×N)
Short Close < 20-period Low Close > 10-period High Fixed Entry Price+(Multiplier×N)
In Google Sheets exportieren
B. Position State Management
The script uses persistent var float variables (fixed_long_stop_price and fixed_short_stop_price) to maintain the state:
Upon an Entry signal, the calculated stop-loss price is fixed and assigned to the respective var variable.
The variable holds this fixed price on subsequent bars.
The price is reset to na (Not Applicable) only when an Exit condition (10-period trailing exit, fixed stop-loss hit, or reverse entry signal) is met.
This logic ensures the initial stop-loss line is plotted only when a simulated trade is active.
4. Visual Elements and Alerts
Donchian Channels: Plotted as two lines (Entry High/Exit Low) with a fill for visualization.
N-Stop-Loss Lines: Two lines (fixed_long_stop_price in Fuchsia and fixed_short_stop_price in Orange) are plotted using plot.style_linebr, ensuring they appear only after a trade signal fires and disappear on exit.
Signal Shapes (plotshape):
Long Entry: Green triangle below the bar.
Short Entry: Red triangle above the bar.
Long/Short Exits: Diamond shapes indicating the trailing stop exit.
Entry Labels (label.new): Custom-colored labels appear at the point of entry, displaying the current N value and the exact calculated N-Stop price.
Alerts (alertcondition): Alerts are set up for both Long Entry and Short Entry conditions.
Cumulative Delta_Effort vs Result_immy**Cumulative Delta Oscillator\_effort**
This script creates a “Cumulative Delta Effort vs Result” oscillator, a custom indicator designed to measure the balance between buying and selling pressure (Effort) versus actual price movement (Result).
**How It Works**
Delta Volume: Measures aggressive buying vs selling per candle.
Cumulative Delta: Tracks net buying/selling pressure over time.
Effort vs Result: Compares volume delta (effort) to price movement (result).
Oscillator: Highlights divergence between effort and result, useful for spotting absorption (high effort, low result) and exhaustion (low effort, high result).
Histogram: Visual cue for accumulation/distribution zones.
----------------------------
This indicator combines volume delta (effort) and price movement (result), so it tells you how efficiently volume is moving price — a concept sometimes called effort vs. result analysis in Wyckoff or volume–spread analysis (VSA).
🔍 Concept Summary
Effort (delta volume) = how much buying/selling pressure is there (volume side).
Result (price change) = how much that effort moves price (price side).
Oscillator (Effort − Result) = how much “extra” effort is not producing movement — often showing absorption or exhaustion.
📈 How to Interpret the Signals
1\. Oscillator above Signal line → Bullish Momentum
When osc > signal, histogram turns green.
Means buying effort is stronger than price reaction — often early sign of accumulation or rising demand.
This can signal:
Possible bullish continuation if confirmed by rising prices.
Or early absorption if prices aren’t yet breaking out (smart money absorbing supply).
✅ Bullish Entry Signal:
When the oscillator crosses above the signal line (green cross) and price is near support or consolidating → potential long setup.
2\. Oscillator below Signal line → Bearish Momentum
When osc < signal, histogram turns red.
Selling effort dominates; can mean increasing supply or price exhaustion.
This often appears before:
Bearish continuation (trend strengthening)
Or upthrust/exhaustion (price rising on weak volume)
❌ Bearish Entry Signal:
When the oscillator crosses below the signal line (red cross), especially if near resistance → potential short setup.
3\. Crossovers
The alert is triggered when: ta.cross(osc, signal)
That means:
Bullish crossover: oscillator line crosses above signal → potential buy momentum shift.
Bearish crossover: oscillator line crosses below signal → potential sell momentum shift.
These work like MACD crossovers, but volume-adjusted.
4\. Zero Line
The zero line is the neutral point.
When osc crosses above zero, overall buying effort exceeds price change — market gaining strength.
When osc crosses below zero, selling pressure increases — market weakening.
→ Combining signal line crosses with zero-line crosses gives stronger confirmation.
5\. Histogram Analysis (Absorption \& Exhaustion)**
Tall green bars: rising momentum (buyers dominate)
Tall red bars: falling momentum (sellers dominate)
Shrinking bars: momentum fading — possible reversal zone.
If volume increases but price stalls, oscillator may spike while price stays flat — absorption (big players taking the opposite side).
If price surges but oscillator weakens, exhaustion — move running out of volume support.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
🧠 Practical Strategy Example
Situation What It Might Mean Possible Action
Oscillator crosses above signal near support Buyer effort increasing, price may rise Go long / close shorts
Oscillator crosses below signal near resistance Seller effort rising, price may drop Go short / take profits
Oscillator high but price flat Absorption (big players absorbing supply) Wait for breakout confirmation
Oscillator low but price flat Absorption (demand absorbing supply) Look for bullish reversal
Oscillator diverges from price Volume–price divergence Early warning of reversal
⚙️ Best Practice
Works best on volume-sensitive assets (futures, crypto, forex tick data).
**Combine with:**
Price structure (support/resistance)
Volume profile / delta footprint
Candle confirmation
We’ll go through both bullish and bearish examples so you can see how to trade with it in real market context.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🟩 Example 1 — Bullish Setup (Long Trade)
Step 1. Context: Identify Potential Support Zone
Before relying on any indicator, find support using:
Previous swing low
Demand zone
VWAP / volume profile node
Trendline or moving average
👉 You’re looking for a place where buyers might step in.
Step 2. Wait for Oscillator Signal
Watch the oscillator panel:
The oscillator (green line) has been below the signal line (orange) → bearish phase.
Then it crosses above the signal line and the histogram turns green.
This means:
➡️ Buying “effort” is increasing faster than price reaction — momentum shift upward.
Step 3. Confirm with Price
On your chart:
Candle closes above short-term resistance or above previous candle high
Ideally volume confirms (green candle with increasing volume)
✅ Bullish Entry Condition
osc crosses above signal
price closes above local resistance
Step 4. Entry \& Stop
Entry: Next candle open after confirmation cross
Stop-loss: Below recent swing low or support zone
Take profit:
2R or 3R target
or near next resistance level
🧠 Optional filter: Only take the trade if oscillator is rising from below zero (coming out of weakness).
Step 5. Manage Trade
If oscillator flattens or starts curling down → tighten stop
If it crosses below the signal again → consider exit
Example Interpretation:
Oscillator crosses above signal from -200 to +100, histogram turns green, price breaks a resistance line → strong bullish reversal → enter long.
🟥 Example 2 — Bearish Setup (Short Trade)
Step 1. Context: Find Resistance
Look for: Prior swing high
Supply zone
Major moving average
Trendline top
Step 2. Wait for Oscillator Cross Down
The oscillator (green) crosses below the signal line (orange).
Histogram turns red.
This means:
➡️ Selling effort is rising relative to price movement — bearish pressure.
Step 3. Confirm with Price
Price fails to make higher highs, or
Forms a bearish engulfing candle near resistance.
✅ Bearish Entry Condition
osc crosses below signal
price confirms with bearish candle
Step 4. Entry \& Stop
Entry: On next candle open
Stop-loss: Above resistance or recent swing high
Take profit: 2R or more or at next major support
Step 5. Exit on Opposite Signal
If oscillator crosses back above signal → momentum shift → exit short.
⚙️ Pro Tips
Tip Why It Matters
Use on 15m–4H+ charts More reliable delta signal
Combine with volume or OBV Confirms “effort” strength
Watch divergences Early reversals
Align with higher timeframe trend Avoid countertrend traps

Pulsar Trading System-LITE📡 Pulsar Trading System
OVERVIEW
Pulsar is a comprehensive breakout trading system that combines dynamic support/resistance detection, trend filtering, and volume confirmation to identify high-probability entry opportunities. Unlike simple breakout indicators, Pulsar uses multi-timeframe analysis and adaptive ATR-based calculations to filter false signals and provide complete trade management from entry to exit.
WHAT MAKES THIS ORIGINAL
This indicator is unique in its integration of multiple complementary systems:
-Adaptive ATR Zones: Support and resistance levels are not static—they dynamically adjust based on current market volatility (ATR), creating entry zones that expand and contract with market conditions rather than using fixed price levels.
-Multi-Timeframe SuperTrend Filter: The trend filter operates on a higher timeframe than the chart (e.g., 5-minute SuperTrend on a 1-minute chart) to prevent counter-trend trades while maintaining granular entry precision. The visual ribbon with humorous warning text ("🚫 Don't Short - Trend is Your Friend! 📈") provides immediate trend awareness.
-Intelligent Cooldown System: After any trade exit (stop loss or take profit), the system enters a configurable cooldown period, preventing overtrading during choppy or consolidating market conditions—a critical feature often missing in breakout systems.
-Dynamic Trailing Stops: The trailing stop uses ATR multipliers to lock in profits while adapting to volatility, moving only in the favorable direction and never loosening.
-Comprehensive Dashboard: Real-time analysis displays trade status, entry prices, distances to targets in both points and ATR multiples, volume confirmation status, and cooldown countdown.
HOW IT WORKS
Core Detection Logic:
Pulsar identifies breakout opportunities by monitoring price interaction with dynamically calculated support and resistance levels:
Support/Resistance Calculation: Uses ta.lowest() and ta.highest() over a configurable lookback period to identify key levels, then adds ATR-based buffers (0.5 × ATR) to create entry zones.
Breakout Conditions:
Long Entry: Price closes above support buffer AND recent low touched support AND volume exceeds threshold
Short Entry: Price closes below resistance buffer AND recent high touched resistance AND volume exceeds threshold
SuperTrend Filter: A separate higher-timeframe SuperTrend calculation determines overall trend direction. Entries only trigger when breakout direction aligns with SuperTrend (bullish breakout + bullish trend, or bearish breakout + bearish trend).
Volume Confirmation: Current volume must exceed a configurable multiple of the 14-period SMA (default 1.0×) to confirm genuine interest in the breakout.
Cooldown Mechanism: After exit, the system tracks bars elapsed and blocks new signals until the cooldown period completes, preventing rapid-fire entries in ranging markets.
Trade Management:
Stop Loss: Calculated as entry zone ± (ATR × SL Multiplier)
Take Profit 1: Entry zone ± (ATR × TP1 Multiplier)
Take Profit 2: Entry zone ± (ATR × TP2 Multiplier)
Trailing Stop (optional): Updates every bar, moving the stop closer by maintaining distance of (ATR × Trailing Multiplier) from current price, but only in favorable direction
SuperTrend Calculation:
The SuperTrend uses standard methodology:
Upper Band = (High + Low) / 2 + (Multiplier × ATR)
Lower Band = (High + Low) / 2 - (Multiplier × ATR)
Direction changes when price crosses opposite band
The ribbon visualization adds a width offset (ATR × Ribbon Width) to create a filled zone rather than a single line.
HOW TO USE
Setup:
Add Pulsar to your chart (works best on liquid instruments like NQ, ES, CL)
Configure timeframe-specific settings (see recommendations below)
Enable SuperTrend Filter for trend-following mode, or disable for pure breakout mode

Interpreting Signals:
Long/Short Zone Box: Green (long) or red (short) box appears when breakout conditions are met
Blue Entry Line: Shows your entry price
Red/Orange SL Line: Red = fixed stop, Orange = trailing stop (moves in real-time)
Green TP Lines: TP1 (closer) and TP2 (further) targets
SuperTrend Ribbon: Green = bullish trend (favor longs), Red = bearish trend (favor shorts)
Dashboard Status: Monitor trade state, distances, volume confirmation, and cooldown
Best Practices:
Use SuperTrend Filter: Significantly reduces false signals by avoiding counter-trend trades
Enable Cooldown on Fast Timeframes: Prevents overtrading on 1-5 minute charts
Volume Confirmation is Critical: Don't lower volume multiplier below 0.9 on futures
Use Higher Timeframe ATR: On 1-minute charts, use 5-minute ATR for stability
Avoid Major News Events: Disable during FOMC, NFP, CPI releases
Scale Out Strategy: Consider taking partial profits at TP1, letting remainder run to TP2
Parameter Optimization:
Start conservative and adjust based on results:
Too many stop-outs: Increase SL multiplier or SuperTrend multiplier
Missing good trades: Decrease volume multiplier or cooldown period
Too many false signals: Increase volume multiplier, lookback period, or cooldown
Profits not protected: Enable trailing stop or reduce trailing multiplier

Smart Liquidity & OTE Analysis Tool # Smart Liquidity & OTE Analysis Tool
## OVERVIEW
This indicator is designed for traders who utilize institutional trading concepts, specifically liquidity sweeps and optimal trade entry (OTE) zones, combined with session-based market structure analysis. It identifies potential market manipulation points where stop losses are likely clustered, and highlights high-probability entry zones based on Fibonacci retracements.
The tool combines four main analytical components that work synergistically to identify trading opportunities aligned with smart money behavior.
---
## CORE CONCEPTS & METHODOLOGY
### 1. TRADING SESSIONS ANALYSIS
**What it does:**
The indicator tracks three major forex trading sessions with customizable time zones:
- **Asian Session** (Default: 01:00-13:00 UTC+4) - Typically characterized by range-bound price action
- **London Session** (Default: 11:00-20:00 UTC+4) - High volatility period with increased institutional activity
- **New York Session** (Default: 17:00-00:00 UTC+4) - Overlaps with London creating peak liquidity
**How it works:**
- Automatically highlights active sessions with colored background boxes
- Draws session high/low lines which often act as intraday support/resistance
- Identifies session overlaps (e.g., London-NY overlap) where volatility and liquidity are highest
- Color-codes the price bars during overlaps to alert traders to increased opportunity periods
- Displays real-time session status (🟢 Open / 🔴 Closed) for quick reference
**Trading Application:**
Session highs and lows frequently become liquidity targets. The indicator helps traders anticipate when price might sweep these levels before continuing in the original direction. Session overlaps are prime times for major moves as multiple institutional players are active simultaneously.
---
### 2. EXTERNAL LIQUIDITY SWEEPS
**What it does:**
Identifies when price "sweeps" or breaks beyond significant swing highs and lows where stop losses are typically clustered. These sweeps often precede reversals or continuations after liquidity is collected.
**How it works:**
- Scans the previous 20 bars (configurable) to identify swing high and low points
- Marks these levels as "buyside liquidity" (above highs) or "sellside liquidity" (below lows)
- Monitors price action using three detection methods:
* **Wick Break:** Any candle wick extending beyond the liquidity level
* **Close Break:** Candle body closing beyond the level (stronger confirmation)
* **Full Retrace:** Price breaks the level then closes back inside the range (classic liquidity grab)
- Uses an ATR-based buffer to avoid false signals from minor price spikes
- Confirms sweeps only after a configurable number of confirmation bars to reduce repainting
**The Logic Behind It:**
Institutional traders need liquidity to fill large orders. Stop losses clustered above swing highs and below swing lows provide this liquidity. When these levels are swept, it often indicates smart money is entering positions in the opposite direction, causing reversals.
**Visual Representation:**
- Blue horizontal lines mark buyside liquidity zones (above price)
- Gray horizontal lines mark sellside liquidity zones (below price)
- Labels indicate when liquidity has been swept (✓) or remains active
- Historical zones are maintained for context (configurable display limit)
---
### 3. INTERNAL LIQUIDITY DETECTION
**What it does:**
Identifies equal highs (EQH) and equal lows (EQL) within recent price action - levels that have been tested multiple times without breaking. These represent internal liquidity pools that price often revisits before making larger moves.
**How it works:**
- Examines the most recent 8 bars (configurable) for price levels that occur multiple times
- Uses an ATR-based threshold (default 0.1% of ATR) to determine if highs or lows are "equal"
- Requires minimum 3 occurrences (configurable) of the same level to qualify as internal liquidity
- Tracks both the creation and sweeping of these internal levels
- Differentiates between wick breaks and close breaks for sweep confirmation
**The Concept:**
Unlike external liquidity at swing points, internal liquidity represents recent stop clusters and pending orders within the current price structure. Identifying these levels helps traders anticipate short-term price targets and potential reversal points before larger directional moves.
**Why This Matters:**
Price often needs to clear internal liquidity before making sustained moves to external liquidity levels. This creates a "roadmap" of where price is likely to go in sequence, improving trade timing.
**Visual Representation:**
- Cyan lines mark internal buyside liquidity (equal highs)
- Orange lines mark internal sellside liquidity (equal lows)
- Dashed or solid lines based on user preference
- Labels show when internal levels are swept
---
### 4. OPTIMAL TRADE ENTRY (OTE) ZONES
**What it does:**
Calculates and displays Fibonacci retracement zones (0.618-0.786) from recent swing points, representing "discount" or "premium" areas where institutional traders often enter positions after a liquidity sweep or structure break.
**How it works:**
- Identifies swing highs and lows using a 10-bar lookback period (configurable)
- Calculates three key Fibonacci levels:
* **0.618** - The "golden ratio" retracement (most significant)
* **0.705** - Mid-point between 0.618 and 0.786
* **0.786** - Deep retracement level (square root of 0.618)
- Optionally requires a structure break before displaying OTE zones
- Dynamically extends zones as new price action develops
- Tracks whether price has entered the zone (✅) or exited without filling (❌)
- Displays up to 2 most recent zones (configurable) to avoid chart clutter
**The Methodology:**
OTE zones represent areas where price is at a "discount" (for longs) or "premium" (for shorts) relative to the recent swing. After a liquidity sweep or structure break, institutional traders often wait for retracements into these zones before entering, as it offers better risk-to-reward ratios.
**Combining with Liquidity:**
The most powerful setups occur when:
1. External liquidity is swept
2. Price retraces into an OTE zone
3. Internal liquidity is present as a target
This confluence suggests smart money activity and high-probability trade opportunities.
**Visual Representation:**
- Shaded blue zone between 0.618 and 0.786 levels
- Three horizontal lines showing key Fibonacci levels with different colors/styles
- Labels (🎯) indicate bullish or bearish OTE zones
- Entry (✅) and exit (❌) status for each zone
---
## WHY THESE FEATURES WORK TOGETHER
This indicator combines these four components because they represent different stages of institutional trading behavior:
1. **Session Timing** - Identifies WHEN institutional activity is highest
2. **Liquidity Sweeps** - Shows WHERE smart money is collecting liquidity
3. **OTE Zones** - Highlights WHERE institutional entries likely occur after sweeps
4. **Internal Liquidity** - Provides SHORT-TERM targets for profit-taking or add-ons
Rather than using each concept in isolation, this integration creates a complete market structure framework. For example:
- A buyside liquidity sweep during London open →
- Followed by a retrace into a bullish OTE zone →
- With internal sellside liquidity as the initial target
This sequence represents a complete high-probability trade setup aligned with smart money principles.
---
## ANTI-REPAINTING FEATURES
**The Repainting Problem:**
Many indicators that identify patterns on historical data repaint their signals when live trading, showing signals that weren't actually there in real-time. This creates a false sense of accuracy.
**Our Solution:**
- **Confirmation Bars Setting:** Signals only appear after X bars have confirmed the pattern (default: 2 bars)
- **Marked Confirmation:** Labels show "C" when using confirmed signals
- **Trade-off:** More confirmation = less repainting but slightly delayed signals
- **User Control:** Traders can toggle between real-time signals (faster but may repaint) and confirmed signals (delayed but reliable)
---
## KEY CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS
### Master Controls
- Toggle each major feature on/off independently
- Combine only the features relevant to your trading style
### Display Settings
- Adjust lookback periods for each component
- Control number of historical zones displayed
- Customize colors, line styles, and transparency
- Show/hide labels and session names
- Configure text sizes for different screen setups
### Detection Sensitivity
- **Sweep Detection:** Choose between wick breaks, close breaks, or full retraces
- **ATR Buffer:** Add distance requirements to confirm sweeps (reduces false signals)
- **Equal Level Threshold:** Adjust how close levels must be to qualify as "equal"
- **Confirmation Bars:** Balance between signal speed and reliability
### Alert System
- Session open/close notifications
- Liquidity sweep alerts
- OTE zone entry alerts
- Configurable alert frequency and types
---
## HOW TO USE THIS INDICATOR
### Basic Setup
1. Add the indicator to your chart (works on all timeframes, though 5M-1H recommended for intraday)
2. Enable the features you want to use via Master Controls
3. Adjust colors and transparency to match your chart preferences
4. Configure alert preferences if using notifications
### Trading Workflow
**Step 1: Identify the Session**
- Determine which trading session is active or approaching
- Note session highs/lows as potential liquidity targets
- Be especially alert during session overlaps
**Step 2: Watch for Liquidity Sweeps**
- Monitor external liquidity lines (swing highs/lows)
- When price sweeps liquidity, anticipate a potential reversal
- Stronger sweeps (close breaks + full retraces) are more significant
**Step 3: Wait for OTE Retracement**
- After a sweep, wait for price to retrace into the OTE zone (0.618-0.786)
- Bullish OTE after sellside sweep = potential long
- Bearish OTE after buyside sweep = potential short
**Step 4: Use Internal Liquidity as Targets**
- Look for internal liquidity in the direction of your trade
- These serve as initial profit targets
- External liquidity serves as extended targets
**Step 5: Manage Confirmation Settings**
- For live trading, use confirmed signals (2+ confirmation bars)

量价策略信号+K线pinbar+波动率出场+市场结构【梦喂马】v3Part 1: Indicator Module Explained (Code Analysis and Function Description)
Module 1: Master Switches
This is your "dashboard master control." Due to the numerous indicator functions, charts can appear cluttered. Here, you can easily turn each major function module on or off, allowing you to focus on the information you need most.
- Suggested Usage: When using it for the first time, you can start by only turning on the Vegas Channel and Core Entry Signals to familiarize yourself with the system's main trend judgment and entry logic. Then gradually turn on other modules to experience how they work together.
Module 2: Core Entry Signals (Long/Short Signals)
This is the "engine" of the entire system, responsible for generating the highest quality trend-following trading signals. The appearance of a "long" or "short" signal represents the resonance of multiple indicators, satisfying extremely stringent filtering conditions:
- 1. Vegas Channel Filtering:
- When going long, the price must be above the slow channel (576/676 EMA) and the fast channel (21/55 EMA).
- When shorting, the price must break below both the slow and fast channels.
- Interpretation: This ensures your trading direction is perfectly aligned with the medium- to long-term macro trend.
- 2. Alligator Line Confirmation:
- When going long, the price must be above the alligator lines (lips, teeth, jaws), and the alligator lines must be in a bullish alignment (opening upwards).
- When shorting, the opposite applies.
- Interpretation: This confirms that short-term momentum aligns with the long-term trend, avoiding hasty entry at the start or end of a trend.
- 3. OBV (On-Balance Volume) Filter:
- When going long, the OBV value must be above its own moving average (default 34 periods).
- When shorting, the OBV value must be below its moving average.
- Interpretation: OBV is a key indicator measuring fund inflows and outflows. This condition ensures that trading volume (funds) is supporting your trading direction.
- 4. ADX Trend Strength Filter:
- Whether going long or short, the ADX value must be greater than the set threshold (default 20).
- Interpretation: This is a crucial "insurance" layer. It helps filter out volatile market conditions with no clear direction, prone to repeated "misjudgments." We only act in markets with clear and strong trends.
Core Usage: Once a "long"/"short" signal appears, it represents a high-certainty trend-following trading opportunity. Due to the very strict nature of the signals, they appear infrequently, but each one deserves your close attention.
Module Three: Vegas Channel & Alligator Line (Trend Judgment Tool)
- Vegas Channel: Composed of two sets of EMAs.
- Slow Channel (576/676): Your "bull/bear dividing line." Above this line, only consider going long; below this line, only consider going short. It is your strategic compass.
- Fast Channel (21/55): Your "short-term momentum line." In an uptrend, price pullbacks to the vicinity of the fast channel are potential areas for adding to positions or entering.
- Alligator Line:
- Widening divergence: Indicates that a trend is underway.
- Convergence/Entanglement: Indicates the market is dormant or consolidating.
- Interpretation: Alligator lines allow you to visually see whether the market is in a "trending" or "consolidating" state. We primarily trade when the alligator lines widen.
Module Four: R/C Volume-Price Signals (Refined Entry/Warning Signals)
This is the system's "special forces," specifically designed to identify abnormal volume and price movements on key candlesticks. It is divided into the R series (Reversal) and the C series (Continuation).
- Prerequisites: All signals are based on trading volume. A signal's appearance must be accompanied by a significantly higher-than-average trading volume (increased volume). This indicates large capital participation at that price level, making the signal more reliable.
- R Series - Trend Reversal Signals (Warning/Opportunity):
- R1 (Core Reversal): In a downtrend, a sudden increase in volume on a bullish candlestick; or in an uptrend, an increase in volume on a bearish candlestick.
- Interpretation: This is the most basic reversal warning signal. It tells you that counter-trend forces are emerging, but it doesn't mean the trend will immediately reverse. Confirmation needs to be combined with other signals.
- R2 (Pattern Confirmation): In addition to R1, this candlestick must also be a well-defined Pin Bar (a bullish Pin Bar with a long lower shadow, or a bearish Pin Bar with a long upper shadow).
- Interpretation: This is a more reliable reversal signal. The Pin Bar pattern represents a strong rejection of the price after an attempt to break through; combined with increased volume, this indicates strong reversal momentum.
- R3 (Top Momentum): In addition to R2, the trading volume reaches a "massive" level (default is more than 4 times the average volume).
- Interpretation: This is the highest level reversal signal. It usually appears at the end of a trend, representing the extreme struggle and conversion of bullish and bearish forces, and is a potential sign of a "V-shaped reversal" or a deep V-bottom/top.
- C Series - Trend Continuation/Termination Signals:
- C0 (Trend Continuation): In a clear uptrend, a bearish Pin Bar (long upper shadow) with increased volume appears during a price pullback; or in a downtrend, a bullish Pin Bar (long lower shadow) with increased volume appears during a rebound.
- Interpretation: This is a classic "buy on pullback/sell on rebound" signal. It indicates that the pullback/rebound attempt to counterattack is quickly suppressed by the strong main trend, making it an excellent entry point for adding to positions or following the trend.
- CX (Exhaustion Signal): A C-series signal that appears when the price has moved far away from the slow Vegas Channel (default more than 5 times the ATR distance).
- Interpretation: This is an advanced use of the C-series. After a trend has run for a long time, market sentiment may be overly enthusiastic. The high-volume PinBar appearing at this time, while trend-following in form, is more likely to represent the exhaustion or "final frenzy" of the trend. This is an alert that the trend may be running out of momentum, and you should consider taking profits in batches rather than adding to your position.
Signal Priority: This indicator has been internally optimized: CX/R3 > R2 > C0 > R1. Higher-level signals will override lower-level signals, ensuring you see the most important information at the moment.
Module 5: Chandelier Exit - Dynamic Risk Management
This is a dynamic stop-loss system based on ATR (Average True Range).
- How it works:
- In an uptrend, it subtracts N times the ATR from the recent high, forming a stepped upward stop-loss line.
- In a downtrend, it adds N times the ATR from the recent low, forming a stepped downward stop-loss line.
- Core advantages: It automatically adjusts the stop-loss distance based on market volatility. During periods of high market volatility, the stop-loss widens, giving you more room; during periods of market stability, the stop-loss tightens, locking in profits more quickly.
- Usage:
- As an initial stop-loss: After entering a position, the stop-loss can be set outside the Chandelier line.
- As a trailing stop: The position is held as long as the price does not fall below (uptrend) or rise above (downtrend) the Chandelier line. This is a powerful tool for "letting profits run."
- As an auxiliary trend indicator: The direction of the chandelier line (upward/downward) also provides a concise short-term trend perspective.
Module Six: Candlestick Coloring
This feature is very intuitive; it colors candlesticks based on volume:
- High Volume (Orange): Volume exceeds twice the average volume.
- Huge Volume (Red): Volume exceeds four times the average volume.
- Usage: Helps you identify key candlesticks indicating significant market events at a glance, typically the start, acceleration, reversal, or exhaustion points of a trend.
Module Seven: ICT Market Structure
This is an advanced price behavior analysis tool based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) theory, helping you understand the market's "skeleton."
- Core Concepts:
- Swing High/Low: Local tops and bottoms in market prices.
- BOS (Break of Structure): In an uptrend, the price creates a higher high than the previous swing high; in a downtrend, it creates a lower low.
- Interpretation: BOS (Bullish Oscillator) is a confirmation signal of trend continuation. Consecutive upward BOS indicate a healthy bullish trend, and vice versa.
- MSS (Market Structure Shift, also often called CHOCH): In an uptrend, the price fails to make a new high and instead falls below the previous valid swing low.
- Interpretation: MSS is the first and most important signal of a potential trend reversal. It indicates that market forces are shifting from bullish to bearish (or vice versa).
- Period Settings (Short/Intermediate/Long Term):
- Short Term: Based on the most minute 3-bar swing points, very sensitive, suitable for short-term traders to observe subtle changes.
- Intermediate Term (Recommended): Based on higher-level swing points formed from short-term swing points, filtering out some noise, suitable for day and swing traders.
- Long Term: Based on swing points formed from intermediate-term swing points, reflecting a longer-term structure, suitable for swing and long-term traders.
- Usage: Combine market structure with your trading signals. For example, in an uptrend (price above the Vegas Channel), each upward BOS confirms the health of the trend. If a C0 pullback signal appears at this point, it would be an excellent entry point. Conversely, if an MSS appears, even with a strong buy signal, caution is advised, as the trend may be reversing.
Module Eight: Information Panel
This is your "cockpit dashboard," consolidating all key information in one place, giving you a clear overview of the current market state:
- Main Trend Direction: The final trend judgment given by multiple indicators.
- Alligator Line Pattern: Shows whether the current trend is trending or consolidating.
- OBV Status: Whether funds are flowing in or out.
- ADX Status: Whether the trend is strong or weak.
- Chandelier Stop-Loss Direction: Short-term trend direction.

SLO Pro-J-Algo # Smart Liquidity & OTE Analysis Tool
## OVERVIEW
This indicator is designed for traders who utilize institutional trading concepts, specifically liquidity sweeps and optimal trade entry (OTE) zones, combined with session-based market structure analysis. It identifies potential market manipulation points where stop losses are likely clustered, and highlights high-probability entry zones based on Fibonacci retracements.
The tool combines four main analytical components that work synergistically to identify trading opportunities aligned with smart money behavior.
---
## CORE CONCEPTS & METHODOLOGY
### 1. TRADING SESSIONS ANALYSIS
**What it does:**
The indicator tracks three major forex trading sessions with customizable time zones:
- **Asian Session** (Default: 01:00-13:00 UTC+4) - Typically characterized by range-bound price action
- **London Session** (Default: 11:00-20:00 UTC+4) - High volatility period with increased institutional activity
- **New York Session** (Default: 17:00-00:00 UTC+4) - Overlaps with London creating peak liquidity
**How it works:**
- Automatically highlights active sessions with colored background boxes
- Draws session high/low lines which often act as intraday support/resistance
- Identifies session overlaps (e.g., London-NY overlap) where volatility and liquidity are highest
- Color-codes the price bars during overlaps to alert traders to increased opportunity periods
- Displays real-time session status (🟢 Open / 🔴 Closed) for quick reference
**Trading Application:**
Session highs and lows frequently become liquidity targets. The indicator helps traders anticipate when price might sweep these levels before continuing in the original direction. Session overlaps are prime times for major moves as multiple institutional players are active simultaneously.
---
### 2. EXTERNAL LIQUIDITY SWEEPS
**What it does:**
Identifies when price "sweeps" or breaks beyond significant swing highs and lows where stop losses are typically clustered. These sweeps often precede reversals or continuations after liquidity is collected.
**How it works:**
- Scans the previous 20 bars (configurable) to identify swing high and low points
- Marks these levels as "buyside liquidity" (above highs) or "sellside liquidity" (below lows)
- Monitors price action using three detection methods:
* **Wick Break:** Any candle wick extending beyond the liquidity level
* **Close Break:** Candle body closing beyond the level (stronger confirmation)
* **Full Retrace:** Price breaks the level then closes back inside the range (classic liquidity grab)
- Uses an ATR-based buffer to avoid false signals from minor price spikes
- Confirms sweeps only after a configurable number of confirmation bars to reduce repainting
**The Logic Behind It:**
Institutional traders need liquidity to fill large orders. Stop losses clustered above swing highs and below swing lows provide this liquidity. When these levels are swept, it often indicates smart money is entering positions in the opposite direction, causing reversals.
**Visual Representation:**
- Blue horizontal lines mark buyside liquidity zones (above price)
- Gray horizontal lines mark sellside liquidity zones (below price)
- Labels indicate when liquidity has been swept (✓) or remains active
- Historical zones are maintained for context (configurable display limit)
---
### 3. INTERNAL LIQUIDITY DETECTION
**What it does:**
Identifies equal highs (EQH) and equal lows (EQL) within recent price action - levels that have been tested multiple times without breaking. These represent internal liquidity pools that price often revisits before making larger moves.
**How it works:**
- Examines the most recent 8 bars (configurable) for price levels that occur multiple times
- Uses an ATR-based threshold (default 0.1% of ATR) to determine if highs or lows are "equal"
- Requires minimum 3 occurrences (configurable) of the same level to qualify as internal liquidity
- Tracks both the creation and sweeping of these internal levels
- Differentiates between wick breaks and close breaks for sweep confirmation
**The Concept:**
Unlike external liquidity at swing points, internal liquidity represents recent stop clusters and pending orders within the current price structure. Identifying these levels helps traders anticipate short-term price targets and potential reversal points before larger directional moves.
**Why This Matters:**
Price often needs to clear internal liquidity before making sustained moves to external liquidity levels. This creates a "roadmap" of where price is likely to go in sequence, improving trade timing.
**Visual Representation:**
- Cyan lines mark internal buyside liquidity (equal highs)
- Orange lines mark internal sellside liquidity (equal lows)
- Dashed or solid lines based on user preference
- Labels show when internal levels are swept
---
### 4. OPTIMAL TRADE ENTRY (OTE) ZONES
**What it does:**
Calculates and displays Fibonacci retracement zones (0.618-0.786) from recent swing points, representing "discount" or "premium" areas where institutional traders often enter positions after a liquidity sweep or structure break.
**How it works:**
- Identifies swing highs and lows using a 10-bar lookback period (configurable)
- Calculates three key Fibonacci levels:
* **0.618** - The "golden ratio" retracement (most significant)
* **0.705** - Mid-point between 0.618 and 0.786
* **0.786** - Deep retracement level (square root of 0.618)
- Optionally requires a structure break before displaying OTE zones
- Dynamically extends zones as new price action develops
- Tracks whether price has entered the zone (✅) or exited without filling (❌)
- Displays up to 2 most recent zones (configurable) to avoid chart clutter
**The Methodology:**
OTE zones represent areas where price is at a "discount" (for longs) or "premium" (for shorts) relative to the recent swing. After a liquidity sweep or structure break, institutional traders often wait for retracements into these zones before entering, as it offers better risk-to-reward ratios.
**Combining with Liquidity:**
The most powerful setups occur when:
1. External liquidity is swept
2. Price retraces into an OTE zone
3. Internal liquidity is present as a target
This confluence suggests smart money activity and high-probability trade opportunities.
**Visual Representation:**
- Shaded blue zone between 0.618 and 0.786 levels
- Three horizontal lines showing key Fibonacci levels with different colors/styles
- Labels (🎯) indicate bullish or bearish OTE zones
- Entry (✅) and exit (❌) status for each zone
---
## WHY THESE FEATURES WORK TOGETHER
This indicator combines these four components because they represent different stages of institutional trading behavior:
1. **Session Timing** - Identifies WHEN institutional activity is highest
2. **Liquidity Sweeps** - Shows WHERE smart money is collecting liquidity
3. **OTE Zones** - Highlights WHERE institutional entries likely occur after sweeps
4. **Internal Liquidity** - Provides SHORT-TERM targets for profit-taking or add-ons
Rather than using each concept in isolation, this integration creates a complete market structure framework. For example:
- A buyside liquidity sweep during London open →
- Followed by a retrace into a bullish OTE zone →
- With internal sellside liquidity as the initial target
This sequence represents a complete high-probability trade setup aligned with smart money principles.
---
## ANTI-REPAINTING FEATURES
**The Repainting Problem:**
Many indicators that identify patterns on historical data repaint their signals when live trading, showing signals that weren't actually there in real-time. This creates a false sense of accuracy.
**Our Solution:**
- **Confirmation Bars Setting:** Signals only appear after X bars have confirmed the pattern (default: 2 bars)
- **Marked Confirmation:** Labels show "C" when using confirmed signals
- **Trade-off:** More confirmation = less repainting but slightly delayed signals
- **User Control:** Traders can toggle between real-time signals (faster but may repaint) and confirmed signals (delayed but reliable)
---
## KEY CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS
### Master Controls
- Toggle each major feature on/off independently
- Combine only the features relevant to your trading style
### Display Settings
- Adjust lookback periods for each component
- Control number of historical zones displayed
- Customize colors, line styles, and transparency

- Configure text sizes for different screen setups
### Detection Sensitivity
- **Sweep Detection:** Choose between wick breaks, close breaks, or full retraces
- **ATR Buffer:** Add distance requirements to confirm sweeps (reduces false signals)
- **Equal Level Threshold:** Adjust how close levels must be to qualify as "equal"
- **Confirmation Bars:** Balance between signal speed and reliability
### Alert System
- Session open/close notifications
- Liquidity sweep alerts
- OTE zone entry alerts
- Configurable alert frequency and types
---
## HOW TO USE THIS INDICATOR
### Basic Setup
1. Add the indicator to your chart (works on all timeframes, though 5M-1H recommended for intraday)
2. Enable the features you want to use via Master Controls
3. Adjust colors and transparency to match your chart preferences
4. Configure alert preferences if using notifications
### Trading Workflow
**Step 1: Identify the Session**
- Determine which trading session is active or approaching
- Note session highs/lows as potential liquidity targets
- Be especially alert during session overlaps
**Step 2: Watch for Liquidity Sweeps**
- Monitor external liquidity lines (swing highs/lows)
- When price sweeps liquidity, anticipate a potential reversal
- Stronger sweeps (close breaks + full retraces) are more significant
**Step 3: Wait for OTE Retracement**
- After a sweep, wait for price to retrace into the OTE zone (0.618-0.786)
- Bullish OTE after sellside sweep = potential long
- Bearish OTE after buyside sweep = potential short
**Step 4: Use Internal Liquidity as Targets**
- Look for internal liquidity in the direction of your trade
- These serve as initial profit targets
- External liquidity serves as extended targets
**Step 5: Manage Confirmation Settings**
- For live trading, use confirmed signals (2+ confirmation bars)
- For backtesting or analysis, you may use real-time signals
- Note that confirmed signals appear with "C" marking
### Example Trade Scenarios
**Bullish Setup:**
1. London session opens (increased volume)
2. Price sweeps sellside liquidity below Asian low
3. Price retraces into bullish OTE zone (0.618-0.786 of the sweep move)
4. Target internal buyside liquidity, then external buyside liquidity
**Bearish Setup:**
1. NY session overlap with London (peak liquidity)
2. Price sweeps buyside liquidity above recent high
3. Price retraces into bearish OTE zone
4. Target internal sellside liquidity, then session lows

1. WHY THIS INDICATOR IS DIFFERENT
Most traders use multiple separate indicators on their charts, leading to cluttered screens, conflicting signals, and analysis paralysis. The Suite solves this by integrating proven technical tools into a single, cohesive system.
Key Advantages:
All-in-One Design: Instead of loading 5-10 separate indicators, you get everything in one optimized script. This reduces chart clutter and improves TradingView performance.
Multi-Timeframe Bias Table: Unlike standard indicators that only show the current timeframe, the Bias Table aggregates trend signals across multiple timeframes simultaneously. See at a glance whether 1m, 5m, 15m, 1h are aligned bullish or bearish - no more switching between charts.
Smart Confirmations: The indicator doesn't just give signals - it shows you WHY. Every entry has multiple layers of confirmation (MA cross, MACD momentum, ADX strength, RSI pullback, volume, etc.) that you can toggle on/off.
Dynamic Stop Loss System: Instead of static ATR stops, the SL is calculated from multiple support/resistance layers: UT trailing line, Supertrend, VWAP, swing structure, and MA levels. This creates more intelligent, price-action-aware stops.
R-Multiple Take Profits: Built-in TP system calculates targets based on your initial risk (1R, 1.5R, 2R, 3R). Lines freeze when touched with visual checkmarks, giving you a clean audit trail of partial exits.
Educational Tooltips Everywhere: Every single input has detailed tooltips explaining what it does, typical values, and how it impacts trading. You're not guessing - you're learning as you configure.
Performance Optimized: Smart caching, conditional calculations, and modular design mean the indicator runs fast despite having 15+ features. Turn off what you don't use for even better performance.
No Repainting: All signals respect bar close. Alerts fire correctly. What you see in history is what you would have gotten in real-time.
What Makes It Unique:
Integrated UT Bot + Bias Table: No other indicator combines UT Bot's ATR trailing system with a live multi-timeframe dashboard. You get precision entries with macro trend context.
Candlestick Pattern Recognition with Interactive Tooltips: Patterns aren't just marked - hover over any emoji for a full explanation of what the pattern means and how to trade it.
Opening Range Breakout Tracker: Built-in ORB system for intraday traders with customizable session times and real-time status updates in the Bias Table.
Previous Day High/Low Auto-Detection: Automatically plots PDH/PDL on intraday charts with theme-aware colors. Updates daily without manual input.
Dynamic Row Labels in Bias Table: The table shows your actual settings (e.g., "EMA 10 > SMA 20") not generic labels. You know exactly what's being evaluated.
Modular Filter System: Instead of forcing a fixed methodology, the indicator lets you build your own strategy. Start with just UT Bot, add filters one at a time, test what works for your style.
---
2. WHO WHOULD USE THIS
Designed For:
Intermediate to Advanced Traders: You understand basic technical analysis (MAs, RSI, MACD) and want to combine multiple confirmations efficiently. This isn't a "one-click profit" system - it's a professional toolkit.
Multi-Timeframe Traders: If you trade one asset but check multiple timeframes for confirmation (e.g., enter on 5m after checking 15m and 1h alignment), the Bias Table will save you hours every week.
Trend Followers: The indicator excels at identifying and following trends using UT Bot, Supertrend, and MA systems. If you trade breakouts and pullbacks in trending markets, this is built for you.
Intraday and Swing Traders: Works equally well on 5m-1h charts (day trading) and 4h-D charts (swing trading). Scalpers can use it too with appropriate settings adjustments.
Discretionary Traders: This isn't a black-box system. You see all the components, understand the logic, and make final decisions. Perfect for traders who want tools, not automation.
Works Across All Markets:
Stocks (US, international)
Cryptocurrency (24/7 markets supported)
Forex pairs
Indices (SPY, QQQ, etc.)
Commodities
NOT Ideal For :
Complete Beginners: If you don't know what a moving average or RSI is, start with basics first. This indicator assumes foundational knowledge.
Algo Traders Seeking Black Box: This is discretionary. Signals require context and confirmation. Not suitable for blind automated execution.
Mean-Reversion Only Traders: The indicator is trend-following at its core. While VWAP bands support mean-reversion, the primary methodology is trend continuation.
---
3. CORE COMPONENTS OVERVIEW
The indicator combines these proven systems:
Trend Analysis:
Moving Averages: Four customizable MAs (Fast, Medium, Medium-Long, Long) with six types to choose from (EMA, SMA, WMA, VWMA, RMA, HMA). Mix and match for your style.
Supertrend: ATR-based trend indicator with unique gradient fill showing trend strength. One-sided ribbon visualization makes it easier to see momentum building or fading.
ZLSMA : Zero-lag linear-regression smoothed moving average. Reduces lag compared to traditional MAs while maintaining smooth curves.
Momentum & Filters:
MACD: Standard MACD with separation filter to avoid weak crossovers.
RSI: Pullback zone detection - only enter longs when RSI is in your defined "buy zone" and shorts in "sell zone".
ADX/DMI: Trend strength measurement with directional filter. Ensures you only trade when there's actual momentum.
Volume Filter: Relative volume confirmation - require above-average volume for entries.
Donchian Breakout: Optional channel breakout requirement.
Signal Systems:
UT Bot: The primary signal generator. ATR trailing stop that adapts to volatility and gives clear entry/exit points.
Base Signals: MA cross system with all the above filters applied. More conservative than UT Bot alone.
Market Bias Table: Multi-timeframe dashboard showing trend alignment across 7 timeframes plus macro bias (3-day, weekly, monthly, quarterly, VIX).
Candlestick Patterns: Six major reversal patterns auto-detected with interactive tooltips.
ORB Tracker: Opening range high/low with breakout status (intraday only).
PDH/PDL: Previous day levels plotted automatically on intraday charts.
VWAP + Bands : Session-anchored VWAP with up to three standard deviation band pairs.
---
4. THE UT BOT TRADING SYSTEM
The UT Bot is the heart of the indicator's signal generation. It's an advanced ATR trailing stop that adapts to market volatility.
Why UT Bot is Superior to Fixed Stops:
Traditional ATR stops use a fixed multiplier (e.g., "stop = entry - 2×ATR"). UT Bot is smarter:
It TRAILS the stop as price moves in your favor
It WIDENS during high volatility to avoid premature stops
It TIGHTENS during consolidation to lock in profits
It FLIPS when price breaks the trailing line, signaling reversals
Visual Elements You'll See:
Orange Trailing Line: The actual UT stop level that adapts bar-by-bar
Buy/Sell Labels: Aqua triangle (long) or orange triangle (short) when the line flips
ENTRY Line: Horizontal line at your entry price (optional, can be turned off)
Suggested Stop Loss: A composite SL calculated from multiple support/resistance layers:
- UT trailing line
- Supertrend level
- VWAP
- Swing structure (recent lows/highs)
- Long-term MA (200)
- ATR-based floor
Take Profit Lines: TP1, TP1.5, TP2, TP3 based on R-multiples. When price touches a TP, it's marked with a checkmark and the line freezes for audit trail purposes.
Status Messages: "SL Touched ❌" or "SL Frozen" when the trade leg completes.
How UT Bot Differs from Other ATR Systems:
Multiple Filters Available: You can require 2-bar confirmation, minimum % price change, swing structure alignment, or ZLSMA directional filter. Most UT implementations have none of these.
Smart SL Calculation: Instead of just using the UT line as your stop, the indicator suggests a better SL based on actual support/resistance. This prevents getting stopped out by wicks while keeping risk controlled.
Visual Audit Trail: All SL/TP lines freeze when touched with clear markers. You can review your trades weeks later and see exactly where entries, stops, and targets were.
Performance Options: "Draw UT visuals only on bar close" lets you reduce rendering load without affecting logic or alerts - critical for slower machines or 1m charts.
Trading Logic:
UT Bot flips direction (Buy or Sell signal appears)
Check Bias Table for multi-timeframe confirmation
Optional: Wait for Base signal or candlestick pattern
Enter at signal bar close or next bar open
Place stop at "Suggested Stop Loss" line
Scale out at TP levels (TP1, TP2, TP3)
Exit remaining position on opposite UT signal or stop hit

5. UNDERSTANDING THE MARKET BIAS TABLE
This is the indicator's unique multi-timeframe intelligence layer. Instead of looking at one chart at a time, the table aggregates signals across seven timeframes plus macro trend bias.
Why Multi-Timeframe Analysis Matters:
Professional traders check higher and lower timeframes for context:
Is the 1h uptrend aligning with my 5m entry?
Are all short-term timeframes bullish or just one?
Is the daily trend supportive or fighting me?
Doing this manually means opening multiple charts, checking each indicator, and making mental notes. The Bias Table does it automatically in one glance.
Table Structure:
Header Row:
On intraday charts: 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h (toggle which ones you want)
On daily+ charts: D, W, M (automatic)
Green dot next to title = live updating
Headline Rows - Macro Bias:
These show broad market direction over longer periods:
3 Day Bias: Trend over last 3 trading sessions (uses 1h data)
Weekly Bias: Trend over last 5 trading sessions (uses 4h data)
Monthly Bias: Trend over last 30 daily bars
Quarterly Bias: Trend over last 13 weekly bars
VIX Fear Index: Market regime based on VIX level - bullish when low, bearish when high
Opening Range Breakout: Status of price vs. session open range (intraday only)
These rows show text: "BULLISH", "BEARISH", or "NEUTRAL"
Indicator Rows - Technical Signals:
These evaluate your configured indicators across all active timeframes:
Fast MA > Medium MA (shows your actual MA settings, e.g., "EMA 10 > SMA 20")
Price > Long MA (e.g., "Price > SMA 200")
Price > VWAP
MACD > Signal
Supertrend (up/down/neutral)
ZLSMA Rising
RSI In Zone
ADX ≥ Minimum
These rows show emojis: GREEB (bullish), RED (bearish), GRAY/YELLOW (neutral/NA)
AVG Column:
Shows percentage of active timeframes that are bullish for that row. This is the KEY metric:
AVG > 70% = strong multi-timeframe bullish alignment
AVG 40-60% = mixed/choppy, no clear trend
AVG < 30% = strong multi-timeframe bearish alignment
How to Use the Table:
For a long trade:
Check AVG column - want to see > 60% ideally
Check headline bias rows - want to see BULLISH, not BEARISH
Check VIX row - bullish market regime preferred
Check ORB row (intraday) - want ABOVE for longs
Scan indicator rows - more green = better confirmation
For a short trade:
Check AVG column - want to see < 40% ideally
Check headline bias rows - want to see BEARISH, not BULLISH
Check VIX row - bearish market regime preferred
Check ORB row (intraday) - want BELOW for shorts
Scan indicator rows - more red = better confirmation
When AVG is 40-60%:
Market is choppy, mixed signals. Either stay out or reduce position size significantly. These are low-probability environments.
Unique Features:
Dynamic Labels: Row names show your actual settings (e.g., "EMA 10 > SMA 20" not generic "Fast > Slow"). You know exactly what's being evaluated.
Customizable Rows: Turn off rows you don't care about. Only show what matters to your strategy.
Customizable Timeframes: On intraday charts, disable 1m or 4h if you don't trade them. Reduces calculation load by 20-40%.
Automatic HTF Handling: On Daily/Weekly/Monthly charts, the table automatically switches to D/W/M columns. No configuration needed.
Performance Smart: "Hide BIAS table on 1D or above" option completely skips all table calculations on higher timeframes if you only trade intraday.
---
6. CANDLESTICK PATTERN RECOGNITION
The indicator automatically detects six major reversal patterns and marks them with emojis at the relevant bars.
Why These Six Patterns:
These are the most statistically significant reversal patterns according to trading literature:
High win rate when appearing at support/resistance
Clear visual structure (not subjective)
Work across all timeframes and assets
Studied extensively by institutions
The Patterns:
Bullish Patterns (appear at bottoms):
Bullish Engulfing: Green candle completely engulfs prior red candle's body. Strong reversal signal.
Hammer: Small body with long lower wick (at least 2× body size). Shows rejection of lower prices by buyers.
Morning Star: Three-candle pattern (large red → small indecision → large green). Very strong bottom reversal.
Bearish Patterns (appear at tops):
Bearish Engulfing: Red candle completely engulfs prior green candle's body. Strong reversal signal.
Shooting Star: Small body with long upper wick (at least 2× body size). Shows rejection of higher prices by sellers.
Evening Star: Three-candle pattern (large green → small indecision → large red). Very strong top reversal.
Interactive Tooltips:
Unlike most pattern indicators that just draw shapes, this one is educational:
Hover your mouse over any pattern emoji
A tooltip appears explaining: what the pattern is, what it means, when it's most reliable, and how to trade it
No need to memorize - learn as you trade
Noise Filter:
"Min candle body % to filter noise" setting prevents false signals:
Patterns require minimum body size relative to price
Filters out tiny candles that don't represent real buying/selling pressure
Adjust based on asset volatility (higher % for crypto, lower for low-volatility stocks)
How to Trade Patterns:
Patterns are NOT standalone entry signals. Use them as:
Confirmation: UT Bot gives signal + pattern appears = stronger entry
Reversal Warning: In a trade, opposite pattern appears = consider tightening stop or taking profit
Support/Resistance Validation: Pattern at key level (PDH, VWAP, MA 200) = level is being respected
Best combined with:
UT Bot or Base signal in same direction
Bias Table alignment (AVG > 60% or < 40%)
Appearance at obvious support/resistance
---
7. VISUAL TOOLS AND FEATURES
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price):
Session-anchored VWAP with standard deviation bands. Shows institutional "fair value" for the trading session.
Anchor Options: Session, Day, Week, Month, Quarter, Year. Choose based on your trading timeframe.
Bands: Up to three pairs (X1, X2, X3) showing statistical deviation. Price at outer bands often reverses.
Auto-Hide on HTF: VWAP hides on Daily/Weekly/Monthly charts automatically unless you enable anchored mode.
Use VWAP as:
Directional bias (above = bullish, below = bearish)
Mean reversion levels (outer bands)
Support/resistance (the VWAP line itself)
Previous Day High/Low:
Automatically plots yesterday's high and low on intraday charts:
Updates at start of each new trading day
Theme-aware colors (dark text for light charts, light text for dark charts)
Hidden automatically on Daily/Weekly/Monthly charts
These levels are critical for intraday traders - institutions watch them closely as support/resistance.
Opening Range Breakout (ORB):
Tracks the high/low of the first 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes of the trading session:
Customizable session times (preset for NYSE, LSE, TSE, or custom)
Shows current breakout status in Bias Table row (ABOVE, BELOW, INSIDE, BUILDING)
Intraday only - auto-disabled on Daily+ charts
ORB is a classic day trading strategy - breakout above opening range often leads to continuation.
Extra Labels:
Change from Open %: Shows how far price has moved from session open (intraday) or daily open (HTF). Green if positive, red if negative.
ADX Badge: Small label at bottom of last bar showing current ADX value. Green when above your minimum threshold, red when below.
RSI Badge: Small label at top of last bar showing current RSI value with zone status (buy zone, sell zone, or neutral).
These labels provide quick at-a-glance confirmation without needing separate indicator windows.

8. HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
Step 1: Add to Chart
Load the indicator on your chosen asset and timeframe
First time: Everything is enabled by default - the chart will look busy
Don't panic - you'll turn off what you don't need
Step 2: Start Simple
Turn OFF everything except:
UT Bot labels (keep these ON)
Bias Table (keep this ON)
Moving Averages (Fast and Medium only)
Suggested Stop Loss and Take Profits
Hide everything else initially. Get comfortable with the basic UT Bot + Bias Table workflow first.
Step 3: Learn the Core Workflow
UT Bot gives a Buy or Sell signal
Check Bias Table AVG column - do you have multi-timeframe alignment?
If yes, enter the trade
Place stop at Suggested Stop Loss line
Scale out at TP levels
Exit on opposite UT signal
Trade this simple system for a week. Get a feel for signal frequency and win rate with your settings.
Step 4: Add Filters Gradually
If you're getting too many losing signals (whipsaws in choppy markets), add filters one at a time:
Try: "Require 2-Bar Trend Confirmation" - wait for 2 bars to confirm direction
Try: ADX filter with minimum threshold - only trade when trend strength is sufficient
Try: RSI pullback filter - only enter on pullbacks, not chasing
Try: Volume filter - require above-average volume
Add one filter, test for a week, evaluate. Repeat.
Step 5: Enable Advanced Features (Optional)
Once you're profitable with the core system, add:
Supertrend for additional trend confirmation
Candlestick patterns for reversal warnings
VWAP for institutional anchor reference
ORB for intraday breakout context
ZLSMA for low-lag trend following
Step 6: Optimize Settings
Every setting has a detailed tooltip explaining what it does and typical values. Hover over any input to read:
What the parameter controls
How it impacts trading
Suggested ranges for scalping, day trading, and swing trading
Start with defaults, then adjust based on your results and style.
Step 7: Set Up Alerts
Right-click chart → Add Alert → Condition: "Luxy Momentum v6" → Choose:
"UT Bot — Buy" for long entries
"UT Bot — Sell" for short entries
"Base Long/Short" for filtered MA cross signals
Optionally enable "Send real-time alert() on UT flip" in settings for immediate notifications.
Common Workflow Variations:
Conservative Trader:
UT signal + Base signal + Candlestick pattern + Bias AVG > 70%
Enter only at major support/resistance
Wider UT sensitivity, multiple filters
Aggressive Trader:
UT signal + Bias AVG > 60%
Enter immediately, no waiting
Tighter UT sensitivity, minimal filters
Swing Trader:
Focus on Daily/Weekly Bias alignment
Ignore intraday noise
Use ORB and PDH/PDL less (or not at all)
Wider stops, patient approach

9. PERFORMANCE AND OPTIMIZATION
The indicator is optimized for speed, but with 15+ features running simultaneously, chart load time can add up. Here's how to keep it fast:
Biggest Performance Gains:
Disable Unused Timeframes: In "Time Frames" settings, turn OFF any timeframe you don't actively trade. Each disabled TF saves 10-15% calculation time. If you only day trade 5m, 15m, 1h, disable 1m, 2h, 4h.
Hide Bias Table on Daily+: If you only trade intraday, enable "Hide BIAS table on 1D or above". This skips ALL table calculations on higher timeframes.
Draw UT Visuals Only on Bar Close: Reduces intrabar rendering of SL/TP/Entry lines. Has ZERO impact on logic or alerts - purely visual optimization.
Additional Optimizations:
Turn off VWAP bands if you don't use them
Disable candlestick patterns if you don't trade them
Turn off Supertrend fill if you find it distracting (keep the line)
Reduce "Limit to 10 bars" for SL/TP lines to minimize line objects
Performance Features Built-In:
Smart Caching: Higher timeframe data (3-day bias, weekly bias, etc.) updates once per day, not every bar
Conditional Calculations: Volume filter only calculates when enabled. Swing filter only runs when enabled. Nothing computes if turned off.
Modular Design: Every component is independent. Turn off what you don't need without breaking other features.
Typical Load Times:
5m chart, all features ON, 7 timeframes: ~2-3 seconds
5m chart, core features only, 3 timeframes: ~1 second
1m chart, all features: ~4-5 seconds (many bars to calculate)
If loading takes longer, you likely have too many indicators on the chart total (not just this one).

10. FAQ
Q: How is this different from standard UT Bot indicators?
A: Standard UT Bot (originally by @QuantNomad) is just the ATR trailing line and flip signals. This implementation adds:
- Volume weighting and momentum adjustment to the trailing calculation
- Multiple confirmation filters (swing, %, 2-bar, ZLSMA)
- Smart composite stop loss system from multiple S/R layers
- R-multiple take profit system with freeze-on-touch
- Integration with multi-timeframe Bias Table
- Visual audit trail with checkmarks
Q: Can I use this for automated trading?
A: The indicator is designed for discretionary trading. While it has clear signals and alerts, it's not a mechanical system. Context and judgment are required.
Q: Does it repaint?
A: No. All signals respect bar close. UT Bot logic runs intrabar but signals only trigger on confirmed bars. Alerts fire correctly with no lookahead.
Q: Do I need to use all the features?
A: Absolutely not. The indicator is modular. Many profitable traders use just UT Bot + Bias Table + Moving Averages. Start simple, add complexity only if needed.
Q: How do I know which settings to use?
A: Every single input has a detailed tooltip. Hover over any setting to see:
What it does
How it affects trading
Typical values for scalping, day trading, swing trading
Start with defaults, adjust gradually based on results.
Q: Can I use this on crypto 24/7 markets?
A: Yes. ORB will not work (no defined session), but everything else functions normally. Use "Day" anchor for VWAP instead of "Session".
Q: The Bias Table is blank or not showing.
A: Check:
"Show Table" is ON
Table position isn't overlapping another indicator's table (change position)
At least one row is enabled
"Hide BIAS table on 1D or above" is OFF (if on Daily+ chart)
Q: Why are candlestick patterns not appearing?
A: Patterns are relatively rare by design - they only appear at genuine reversal points. Check:
Pattern toggles are ON
"Min candle body %" isn't too high (try 0.05-0.10)
You're looking at a chart with actual reversals (not strong trending market)
Q: UT Bot is too sensitive/not sensitive enough.
A: Adjust "Sensitivity (Key×ATR)". Lower number = tighter stop, more signals. Higher number = wider stop, fewer signals. Read the tooltip for guidance.
Q: Can I get alerts for the Bias Table?
A: The Bias Table is a dashboard for visual analysis, not a signal generator. Set alerts on UT Bot or Base signals, then manually check Bias Table for confirmation.
Q: Does this work on stocks with low volume?
A: Yes, but turn OFF the volume filter. Low volume stocks will never meet relative volume requirements.
Q: How often should I check the Bias Table?
A: Before every entry. It takes 2 seconds to glance at the AVG column and headline rows. This one check can save you from fighting the trend.
Q: What if UT signal and Base signal disagree?
A: UT Bot is more aggressive (ATR trailing). Base signals are more conservative (MA cross + filters). If they disagree, either:
Wait for both to align (safest)
Take the UT signal but with smaller size (aggressive)
Skip the trade (conservative)
There's no "right" answer - depends on your risk tolerance.
