1. Core Ichimoku Engine
Code sections:
Input group: Core Ichimoku
Function: ichiCalc()
Variables: tenkan, kijun, spanA, spanB, chikou
What it does
Calculates the classic Ichimoku components:
Tenkan (Conversion Line) – fast Donchian average (convLen)
Kijun (Base Line) – slower Donchian average (baseLen)
Senkou Span A (Span A / Lead1) – (Tenkan + Kijun)/2
Senkou Span B (Span B / Lead2) – Donchian over spanBLen
Chikou – current close shifted back in time (displace)
Everything else in the indicator builds on this engine.
How to use it (trading)
Tenkan vs Kijun = short-term vs medium-term balance.
Tenkan above Kijun = short-term bullish control; below = bearish control.
Span A / B defines the cloud, which represents equilibrium and support/resistance.
Price above cloud = bullish bias; price below cloud = bearish bias.
Graphic
2. Display & Cloud Styling
Code sections:
Input groups: Display Options, Cloud Styling, Lagging Span & Signals
Variables: showTenkan, showKijun, showChikou, showCloud, bullCloudColor, bearCloudColor, cloudLineWidth, laggingColor
Plots: plot(tenkan), plot(kijun), plot(chikou), p1, p2, fill(p1, p2, ...)
What it does
Lets you toggle individual components:
Show/hide Tenkan, Kijun, Chikou, and the cloud.
Customize cloud colors & opacity:
bullCloudColor when Span A > Span B
bearCloudColor when Span A < Span B
Adjust cloud line width for clarity.
How to use it
Turn off components you don’t use (e.g., hide Chikou if you only want cloud + Tenkan/Kijun).
For higher-timeframe or noisy charts, use thicker Kijun & cloud so structure is easier to see.

3. HTF Cloud Overlay (Multi-Timeframe)
Code sections:
Input group: HTF Cloud Overlay
Vars: showHTFCloud, htfTf, htfAlpha
Logic: request.security(..., ichiCalc(...)) → htfSpanA, htfSpanB
Plots: pHTF1, pHTF2, fill(pHTF1, pHTF2, ...)
What it does
Pulls higher-timeframe Ichimoku cloud (e.g., 1H, 4H, Daily) onto your current chart.
Uses the same Ichimoku settings but aggregates on htfTf.
Plots an extra, semi-transparent cloud ahead of price:
Greenish when HTF Span A > Span B
Reddish when HTF Span B > Span A
How to use it
Trade LTF (e.g., 5m/15m) only in alignment with HTF trend:
HTF cloud bullish + LTF Ichi bullish → look for longs
HTF cloud bearish + LTF Ichi bearish → look for shorts
Treat HTF cloud boundaries as major S/R zones.
Graphic
4. Oracle Module
Code sections:
Input group: Oracle Module
Vars: useOracle, oracleLen, oracleColor, oracleWidth, oracleSlopeLen
Logic: oracleLine = donchian(oracleLen); slope check vs oracleLine
Plot: plot(useOracle ? oracleLine : na, "Oracle", ...)
What it does
Creates a long-term Donchian baseline (default 208 bars).
Uses a simple slope check:
Current Oracle > Oracle oracleSlopeLen bars ago → Oracle Bull
Current Oracle < Oracle oracleSlopeLen bars ago → Oracle Bear
Slope state is also shown in the dashboard (“Bull / Bear / Flat”).
How to use it
Think of Oracle as your macro anchor :
Only take longs when Oracle is sloping up or flat.
Only take shorts when Oracle is sloping down or flat.
Works well combined with HTF cloud:
HTF cloud bullish + Oracle Bull = higher conviction long bias.
Ideal for Gold / Indices swing trades as a trend filter.
Graphic idea
5. Trend Regime Classifier
Code sections:
Input group: Trend Regime Logic
Vars: useTrendRegime, bgTrendOpacity, minTrendScore
Logic:
priceAboveCloud, priceBelowCloud, priceInsideCloud
Tenkan vs Kijun alignment
Cloud bullish/bearish
bullScore / bearScore (0–3)
regime + regimeLabel + regimeColor
Visuals: bgcolor(regimeColor) and optional barcolor() in priceColoring mode.
What it does
Scores the market in three dimensions :
Price vs Cloud
Tenkan vs Kijun
Cloud Direction (Span A vs Span B)
Each condition contributes +1 to either bullScore or bearScore .
Then:
Bull regime when:
bullScore >= minTrendScore and bullScore > bearScore
Price in cloud → “Range”
Everything else → “Transition”
These regimes are shown as:
Background colors:
Teal = Bull
Maroon = Bear
Orange = Range
Silver = Transition
Optional candle recoloring when priceColoring = true.
How to use it
Filters:
Only buy when regime = Bull or Transition and Oracle/HTF agree.
Only sell when regime = Bear or Transition and Oracle/HTF agree.
No trade zone:
When regime = Range (price inside cloud), avoid new entries; wait for break.
Aggressiveness:
Adjust minTrendScore to be stricter (3) or looser (1).
Graphic
6. Signals: Chikou & Cloud Breakout
Code sections :
Logic:
chikouBuySignal = ta.crossover(chikou, close)
chikouSellSignal = ta.crossunder(chikou, close)
cloudBreakUp = priceInsideCloud and priceAboveCloud
cloudBreakDown = priceInsideCloud and priceBelowCloud
What it does
1. Two key signal groups:
Chikou Cross Signals
Buy when Chikou crosses up through price.
Sell when Chikou crosses down through price.
Classic Ichi confirmation idea: Chikou breaking free of price cluster.
2. Cloud Breakout Signals
Long trigger: yesterday inside cloud → today price breaks above cloud.
Short trigger: yesterday inside cloud → today price breaks below cloud.
Captures “equilibrium → expansion” moves.
These are conditions only in this version (no chart shapes yet) but are fully wired for alerts. (Future Updates)
How to use it
Use Chikou signals as confirmation, not standalone entries:
Eg., Bull regime + Oracle Bull + cloud breakout + Chikou Buy.
Use Cloud Breakouts to catch the first impulsive leg after consolidation.
Graphic
7. Alerts (Automation Ready)
[
b]Code sections:
Input group: Alerts
Vars: useAlertTrend, useAlertChikou, useAlertCloudBO
Alert lines like: "FxAST Ichi Bull Trend", "FxAST Ichi Bull Trend", "FxAST Ichi Cloud Break Up"
What it does
Provides ready-made alert hooks for:
Trend regime (Bull / Bear)
Chikou cross buy/sell
Cloud breakout up/down
Each type can be globally toggled on/off via the inputs (helpful if a user only wants one kind).
How to use it
In TradingView: set alerts using “Any alert() function call” on this indicator.
Then filter which ones fire by:
Turning specific alert toggles on/off in input panel, or
Filtering text in your external bot / webhook side.
Example simple workflow ---> Indicator ---> TV Alert ---> Webhook ---> Bot/Broker
8. FxAST Dashboard
Code sections:
Input group: Dashboard
Vars: showDashboard, dashPos, dash, dashInit
Helper: getDashPos() → position.*
Table cells (updated on barstate.islast):
Row 0: Regime + label
Row 1: Oracle status (Bull / Bear / Flat / Off)
Row 2: HTF Cloud (On + TF / Off)
Row 3: Scores (BullScore / BearScore)
What it does
Displays a compact panel with the state of the whole system :
Current Trend Regime (Bull / Bear / Transition / Range)
Oracle slope state
Whether HTF Cloud is active + which timeframe
Raw Bull / Bear scores (0–3 each)
Position can be set: Top Right, Top Left, Bottom Right, Bottom Left.
How to use it
Treat it like a pilot instrument cluster :
Quick glance: “Are my trend, oracle and HTF all aligned?”
Great for streaming / screenshots: everything important is visible in one place without reading the code.

Distribution Day Grading [Blk0ut]Distribution Day Grading
This script is designed to give traders and investors a fast, objective, and modern read on market health by analyzing distribution days, and stall days, two forms of institutional selling that often begin to appear before trend weakness, failed breakouts, and sharp corrections.
The goal of this script isn’t to predict tops or bottoms, but instead, it measures the character of the tape in a way that’s simple, visual, and immediately actionable.
While distribution analysis has existed for decades, my implementation is, I think, a little more adaptive. Traditional rules for identifying distribution days, coming from CANSLIM methodology, were built for markets which had lower volatility, different liquidity profiles, and slower institutional rotation. This script updates the traditional method with modernized thresholds, recency-weighted decay, stall-day logic, and dynamic presets tuned uniquely for the personality of each major U.S. index (you can change the values yourself as well).
The results are displayed as a compact letter-grade that quantitatively reflects a measure of how much institutional supply has been hitting the market, as well as how recently. This helps determine whether conditions are supportive of breakouts, mean reversion trades, aggressive trend trades, or whether caution and lighter sizing are warranted.
__________________________________________________________________________________
How It Works
The script evaluates each bar for two conditions:
1. Distribution Day
A bar qualifies as distribution when:
- Price closes down beyond a threshold (default 0.30%, adjustable)
- Volume is higher than the prior session (optional toggle)
Distribution days typically represent active institutional selling .
2. Stall Day
A softer form of supply:
-Price remains flat to slightly negative within a small threshold
-Close < open
-Volume higher than prior day
Stall days represent a passive distribution or hidden supply .
Each distribution day is counted as 1 unit by the script, each stall day as 0.5 units.
Recency Weighting
The script applies an optional half-life decay so that fresh distribution matters more than old distribution. This mimics the “aging out” effect that professional traders use, but does it in a smoother, more mathematically consistent way.
The script then produces:
A weighted distribution score
A raw distribution + stall count
A letter grade from A → F
Let's talk about the letters...
_________________________________________________________________________________
Letter Grade Meaning
A — Very Healthy Tape
Minimal institutional selling.
Breakouts behave better, momentum holds, pullbacks are shallow, upside targets are hit more consistently.
B — Healthy / Slight Caution
Some isolated supply but nothing structural.
Conditions remain favorable for trend trades, pullbacks, and breakout continuation.
C — Mixed / Caution Warranted
Distribution is building.
Breakouts begin to fail faster, candles widen, rotation becomes unstable, and risk/reward compresses.
D — Weak / Risk Elevated
Institutional selling is becoming persistent.
Failed breakouts, sharp reversals, and failed rallies become more common. Position sizing should tighten.
F — Clear Deterioration
Broad, repeated institutional distribution.
This is where major tops, deeper pullbacks, and corrections often begin to form underneath the surface.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Index-Tuned Presets (Auto Mode)
Market structure varies dramatically across indices.
To address this, the script includes auto-detect presets for:
SPY / SPX equivalents
QQQ / NASDAQ-100 equivalents
IWM / Russell 2000 equivalents
DIA / Dow 30 equivalents
Each preset contains optimized values based on volatility, liquidity, noise, and institutional behavior:
SPY / SPX
Low noise, deep liquidity → classic thresholds work well.
Distribution thresholds remain conservative.
QQQ
Higher volatility → requires a slightly larger down-percentage filter to avoid false signals.
IWM
Noisiest of the major indices → requires much stricter thresholds to filter out junk signals.
DIA
Slowest-moving index → tighter conditions catch real distribution earlier.
The script automatically detects which symbol family you’re viewing and loads the appropriate preset unless manual overrides are enabled.
__________________________________________________________________________________
How to Interpret This Indicator
Grade A–B:
Breakouts have higher odds of clean continuation
Mean reversion is smoother
Position sizing can be more assertive
Grade C:
Start tightening risk
Focus on A- setups, not B- or C- risk ideas
Grade D–F:
Expect lower win rates
Expect breakout failures
Favor countertrend plays or reduced exposure
Take faster profits
____________________________
This indicator should help traders prevent themselves from fighting the tape or sizing aggressively when the underlying environment is deteriorating through:
- Modernized distribution logic, not the 1990s thresholds
- Recency-weighted decay instead of the old 5-week “aging out”
- Stall-day detection for subtle institutional supply
- Auto-presets tuned per index, adjusting thresholds to match volatility and liquidity
- Unified letter-grade scoring for visual clarity
- Independent application for any trading style, it helps with trend, momentum, mean reversion, and options

Wick Reversal - GaviDetect clean single-bar reversal candles (hammer / shooting star variants) with objective rules.
This script flags bars where a dominant wick overwhelms the body and the close finishes near the relevant extreme of the candle—an evidence-based way to find potential turns or continuation traps.
What it detects
A bar is labeled a Wick Reversal when any of these structures occur:
Bullish candidates (WR↑):
Long lower wick ≥ Wick_Multiplier × Body, and
Close finishes in the top X% of the bar’s range.
Doji and flat-top variants are also handled (size-filtered).
Bearish candidates (WR↓):
Long upper wick ≥ Wick_Multiplier × Body, and
Close finishes in the bottom X% of the bar’s range.
Doji and flat-bottom variants are also handled (size-filtered).
Close-percent is measured from the high (bullish) or from the low (bearish), matching the commonly used definition.
Liquidity Void Zone Detector [PhenLabs]📊 Liquidity Void Zone Detector
Version: PineScript™v6
📌 Description
The Liquidity Void Zone Detector is a sophisticated technical indicator designed to identify and visualize areas where price moved with abnormally low volume or rapid momentum, creating "voids" in market liquidity. These zones represent areas where insufficient trading activity occurred during price movement, often acting as magnets for future price action as the market seeks to fill these gaps.
Built on PineScript v6, this indicator employs a dual-detection methodology that analyzes both volume depletion patterns and price movement intensity relative to ATR. The revolutionary 3D visualization system uses three-layer polyline rendering with adaptive transparency and vertical offsets, creating genuine depth perception where low liquidity zones visually recede and high liquidity zones protrude forward. This makes critical market structure immediately apparent without cluttering your chart.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Dual detection algorithm combining volume threshold analysis and ATR-normalized price movement sensitivity for comprehensive void identification
Three-layer 3D visualization system with progressive transparency gradients (85%, 78%, 70%) and calculated vertical offsets for authentic depth perception
Intelligent state machine logic that tracks consecutive void bars and only renders zones meeting minimum qualification requirements
Dynamic strength scoring system (0-100 scale) that combines inverted volume ratios with movement intensity for accurate void characterization
Adaptive ATR-based spacing calculation that automatically adjusts 3D layering depth to match instrument volatility
Efficient memory management system supporting up to 100 simultaneous void visualizations with automatic array-based cleanup
🔧 Core Components
Volume Analysis Engine: Calculates rolling volume averages and compares current bar volume against dynamic thresholds to detect abnormally thin trading conditions
Price Movement Analyzer: Normalizes bar range against ATR to identify rapid price movements that indicate liquidity exhaustion regardless of instrument or timeframe
Void Tracking State Machine: Maintains persistent tracking of void start bars, price boundaries, consecutive bar counts, and cumulative strength across multiple bars
3D Polyline Renderer: Generates three-layer rectangular polylines with precise timestamp-to-bar index conversion and progressive offset calculations
Strength Calculation System: Combines volume component (inverted ratio capped at 100) with movement component (ATR intensity × 30) for comprehensive void scoring
🔥 Key Features
Automatic Void Detection: Continuously scans price action for low volume conditions or rapid movements, triggering void tracking when thresholds are exceeded
Real-Time Visualization: Creates 3D rectangular zones spanning from void initiation to termination, with color-coded depth indicating liquidity type
Adjustable Sensitivity: Configure volume threshold multiplier (0.1-2.0x), price movement sensitivity (0.5-5.0x), and minimum qualifying bars (1-10) for customized detection
Dual Color Coding: Separate visual treatment for low liquidity voids (receding red) and high liquidity zones (protruding green) based on 50-point strength threshold
Optional Compact Labels: Toggle LV (Low Volume) or HV (High Volume) circular labels at void centers for quick identification without visual clutter
Lookback Period Control: Adjust analysis window from 5 to 100 bars to match your trading timeframe and market volatility characteristics
Memory-Efficient Design: Automatically manages polyline and label arrays, deleting oldest elements when user-defined maximum is reached
Data Window Integration: Plots void detection binary, current strength score, and average volume for detailed analysis in TradingView's data window
🎨 Visualization
Three-Layer Depth System: Each void is rendered as three stacked polylines with progressive transparency (85%, 78%, 70%) and calculated vertical offsets creating authentic 3D appearance
Directional Depth Perception: Low liquidity zones recede with back layer most transparent; high liquidity zones protrude with front layer most transparent for instant visual differentiation
Adaptive Offset Spacing: Vertical separation between layers calculated as ATR(14) × 0.001, ensuring consistent 3D effect across different instruments and volatility regimes
Color Customization: Fully configurable base colors for both low liquidity zones (default: red with 80 transparency) and high liquidity zones (default: green with 80 transparency)
Minimal Chart Clutter: Closed polylines with matching line and fill colors create clean rectangular zones without unnecessary borders or visual noise
Background Highlight: Subtle yellow background (96% transparency) marks bars where void conditions are actively detected in real-time
Compact Labeling: Optional tiny circular labels with 60% transparent backgrounds positioned at void center points for quick reference
📖 Usage Guidelines
Detection Settings
Lookback Period: Default: 10 | Range: 5-100 | Number of bars analyzed for volume averaging and void detection. Lower values increase sensitivity to recent changes; higher values smooth detection across longer timeframes. Adjust based on your trading timeframe: short-term traders use 5-15, swing traders use 20-50, position traders use 50-100.
Volume Threshold: Default: 1.0 | Range: 0.1-2.0 (step 0.1) | Multiplier applied to average volume. Bars with volume below (average × threshold) trigger void conditions. Lower values detect only extreme volume depletion; higher values capture more moderate low-volume situations. Start with 1.0 and decrease to 0.5-0.7 for stricter detection.
Price Movement Sensitivity: Default: 1.5 | Range: 0.5-5.0 (step 0.1) | Multiplier for ATR-normalized price movement detection. Values above this threshold indicate rapid price changes suggesting liquidity voids. Increase to 2.0-3.0 for volatile instruments; decrease to 0.8-1.2 for ranging or low-volatility conditions.
Minimum Void Bars: Default: 10 | Range: 1-10 | Minimum consecutive bars exhibiting void conditions required before visualization is created. Filters out brief anomalies and ensures only sustained voids are displayed. Use 1-3 for scalping, 5-10 for intraday trading, 10+ for swing trading to match your time horizon.
Visual Settings
Low Liquidity Color: Default: Red (80% transparent) | Base color for zones where volume depletion or rapid movement indicates thin liquidity. These zones recede visually (back layer most transparent). Choose colors that contrast with your chart theme for optimal visibility.
High Liquidity Color: Default: Green (80% transparent) | Base color for zones with relatively higher liquidity compared to void threshold. These zones protrude visually (front layer most transparent). Ensure clear differentiation from low liquidity color.
Show Void Labels: Default: True | Toggle display of compact LV/HV labels at void centers. Disable for cleaner charts when trading; enable for analysis and review to quickly identify void types across your chart.
Max Visible Voids: Default: 50 | Range: 10-100 | Maximum number of void visualizations kept on chart. Each void uses 3 polylines, so setting of 50 maintains 150 total polylines. Higher values preserve more history but may impact performance on lower-end systems.
✅ Best Use Cases
Gap Fill Trading: Identify unfilled liquidity voids that price frequently returns to, providing high-probability retest and reversal opportunities when price approaches these zones
Breakout Validation: Distinguish genuine breakouts through established liquidity from false breaks into void zones that lack sustainable volume support
Support/Resistance Confluence: Layer void detection over key horizontal levels to validate structural integrity—levels within high liquidity zones are stronger than those in voids
Trend Continuation: Monitor for new void formation in trend direction as potential continuation zones where price may accelerate due to reduced resistance
Range Trading: Identify void zones within consolidation ranges that price tends to traverse quickly, helping to avoid getting caught in rapid moves through thin areas
Entry Timing: Wait for price to reach void boundaries rather than entering mid-void, as voids tend to be traversed quickly with limited profit-taking opportunities
⚠️ Limitations
Historical Pattern Indicator: Identifies past liquidity voids but cannot predict whether price will return to fill them or when filling might occur
No Volume on Forex: Indicator uses tick volume for forex pairs, which approximates but doesn't represent true trading volume, potentially affecting detection accuracy
Lagging Confirmation: Requires minimum consecutive bars (default 10) before void is visualized, meaning detection occurs after void formation begins
Trending Market Behavior: Strong trends driven by fundamental catalysts may create voids that remain unfilled for extended periods or permanently
Timeframe Dependency: Detection sensitivity varies significantly across timeframes; settings optimized for one timeframe may not perform well on others
No Directional Bias: Indicator identifies liquidity characteristics but provides no predictive signal for price direction after void detection
Performance Considerations: Higher max visible void settings combined with small minimum void bars can generate numerous visualizations impacting chart rendering speed
💡 What Makes This Unique
Industry-First 3D Visualization: Unlike flat volume or liquidity indicators, the three-layer rendering with directional depth perception provides instant visual hierarchy of liquidity quality
Dual-Mode Detection: Combines both volume-based and movement-based detection methodologies, capturing voids that single-approach indicators miss
Intelligent Qualification System: State machine logic prevents premature visualization by requiring sustained void conditions, reducing false signals and chart clutter
ATR-Normalized Analysis: All detection thresholds adapt to instrument volatility, ensuring consistent performance across stocks, forex, crypto, and futures without constant recalibration
Transparency-Based Depth: Uses progressive transparency gradients rather than colors or patterns to create depth, maintaining visual clarity while conveying information hierarchy
Comprehensive Strength Metrics: 0-100 void strength calculation considers both the degree of volume depletion and the magnitude of price movement for nuanced zone characterization
🔬 How It Works
Phase 1: Real-Time Detection
On each bar close, the indicator calculates average volume over the lookback period and compares current bar volume against the volume threshold multiplier
Simultaneously measures current bar's high-low range and normalizes it against ATR, comparing the result to price movement sensitivity parameter
If either volume falls below threshold OR movement exceeds sensitivity threshold, the bar is flagged as exhibiting void characteristics
Phase 2: Void Tracking & Qualification
When void conditions first appear, state machine initializes tracking variables: start bar index, initial top/bottom prices, consecutive bar counter, and cumulative strength accumulator
Each subsequent bar with void conditions extends the tracking, updating price boundaries to envelope all bars and accumulating strength scores
When void conditions cease, system checks if consecutive bar count meets minimum threshold; if yes, proceeds to visualization; if no, discards the tracking and resets
Phase 3: 3D Visualization Construction
Calculates average void strength by dividing cumulative strength by number of bars, then determines if void is low liquidity (>50 strength) or high liquidity (≤50 strength)
Generates three polyline layers spanning from start bar to end bar and from top price to bottom price, each with calculated vertical offset based on ATR
Applies progressive transparency (85%, 78%, 70%) with layer ordering creating recession effect for low liquidity zones and protrusion effect for high liquidity zones
Creates optional center label and pushes all visual elements into arrays for memory management
Phase 4: Memory Management & Display
Continuously monitors polyline array size (each void creates 3 polylines); when total exceeds max visible voids × 3, deletes oldest polylines via array.shift()
Similarly manages label array, removing oldest labels when count exceeds maximum to prevent memory accumulation over extended chart history
Plots diagnostic data to TradingView’s data window (void detection binary, current strength, average volume) for detailed analysis without cluttering main chart
💡 Note:
This indicator is designed to enhance your market structure analysis by revealing liquidity characteristics that aren’t visible through standard price and volume displays. For best results, combine void detection with your existing support/resistance analysis, trend identification, and risk management framework. Liquidity voids are descriptive of past market behavior and should inform positioning decisions rather than serve as standalone entry/exit signals. Experiment with detection parameters across different timeframes to find settings that align with your trading style and instrument characteristics.
3 Band Volume matched Candles3 Band Volume matched Candles– is a clean, high-signal volume-based candle colouring system designed to highlight the extremes of market participation. Instead of using complex multi-band gradients, this simplified version focuses on what truly matters to scalpers and intraday traders:
🔵 Very Weak Volume (Exhaustion)
Shows when the market is running out of participation. These candles often appear near tops, stalled moves, fake breakouts, and areas where liquidity is drying up. Perfect for spotting potential reversals or rug-pull conditions.
⚪ Normal Volume (Baseline Flow)
Represents regular market activity. These neutral candles keep the chart clean and make the extremes stand out instantly.
🟥 Neon Hot-Red (High-Impact Volume)
Highlights moments of significant volume — intervention, aggression, absorption, stop hunts, or strong rejection wicks. These candles are critical for identifying real moves vs. fake ones, spotting wickbacks, and confirming momentum shifts.

By focusing only on the very low and very high ends of market volume, the indicator cuts through noise and exposes the true behaviour behind each candle. Traders can instantly see:
When a move is losing strength
When a trend is topping or stalling
When big volume enters the market
When a wickback is driven by strong rejection
Whether a breakout is real or weak
When reversals are highly probable
This makes it ideal for scalpers, and anyone who trades fast-moving instruments
Customisation
Fully customisable weak/normal and normal/strong thresholds
User-defined colours for each band
Brightness control
Borders-only mode
Adjustable fill opacity
Optional corner legend for clarity
DCA Bot v7 - Cryptosa Nostra 1.0Technical Overview: Adaptive RSI DCA Bot
This is a sophisticated DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) indicator designed for accumulating assets and managing portfolio distribution. It does not trade on simple RSI crosses. Instead, it combines multi-zone RSI analysis with ATR-based volatility triggers to execute staggered, dynamically-sized trades.
Its core feature is a "learning" engine that adapts its own settings over time. This "brain" can be trained on historical data and then applied to your real-time portfolio holdings via a "Live Override" feature.
Core Logic: How It Works
A trade is only executed when two conditions are met simultaneously:
The RSI Condition: The RSI must be inside one of the four pre-defined zones.
The Price Condition: The price must cross a "trigger line" (the green or red line) that is dynamically calculated based on volatility.
1. The Four RSI Zones
This script uses four distinct zones to determine the intent to trade:
Deep Buy Zone (Default: RSI <= 35 & Downtrend): This is the primary "value" buy signal. It only activates if the RSI is deeply oversold and the price is below the 200-period Trend MA.
Reload Buy Zone (Default: RSI 40-50 & Uptrend): This is a "buy the dip" signal. It looks for minor pullbacks during an established uptrend (price above the 200-period Trend MA).
Profit-Taking Zone (Default: RSI 70-80): Triggers a standard, small sell when the market is overbought.
Euphoria Zone (Default: RSI >= 80): Triggers a larger, more aggressive sell during extreme "blow-off" tops.
2. Dynamic Trade Sizing
The amount to buy or sell is not fixed. It scales dynamically based on how high or low the RSI is:
Buy Sizing: Spends a higher percentage of available cash when RSI is at its lowest (e.g., 35) and a smaller percentage when it's at the top of the reload zone (e.g., 50).
Sell Sizing: Sells a smaller percentage of holdings when RSI just enters the overbought zone (e.g., 70) and a much larger percentage when it's in the euphoria zone (e.g., 80+).
3. The "Adaptive Brain" (ATR Multipliers)
This is the script's learning mechanism. The green/red trigger lines are calculated as: Last Trade Price +/- (ATR * Multiplier).
This "Multiplier" is the brain. It adapts based on trade performance.
After a successful trade (as defined by profit_target_multiplier), the bot gets more confident and reduces the multiplier. This places the next trigger line closer to the price, making it more aggressive.
After a losing trade (as defined by loss_limit_multiplier), the bot gets more cautious and increases the multiplier. This places the next trigger line further away, making it more patient.
How to Use This Indicator
This script is designed to be "trained" on historical data to provide relevant signals for today.
To Train the Brain: In the settings, go to "1. Backtest Settings". Set the "Start Date (For Learning)" to a date in the past (e.g., 6 months or 1 year ago). The script will run a simulation from that date, allowing its Adaptive Multipliers (the "brain") to adjust to the market's volatility.
To See Live Signals: In "2. Live Portfolio Override", check the box "Override Backtest Balance?" and enter your real current coin and USD holdings.
Result: The "Live Status" table (top-right) will now display signals from the trained brain but will calculate the "Potential Buy %" and "Potential Sell %" based on your real portfolio. The "Buy Multi" and "Sell Multi" fields show you the brain's current learned values.
Candlestick toolkit (Candle Over Candle)Candlestick pattern toolkit focused on reading price action via candle anatomy, body dynamics, and a specific 2-bar continuation/reversal pattern.
This indicator highlights:
Long upper and lower wicks (“topping” and “bottoming” tails) that can signal exhaustion or potential reversal.
Large bullish bodies relative to Average True Range (ATR), showing strong momentum.
Sequences of large green candles.
Runs of green candles with strictly increasing or strictly decreasing body size, to visualize acceleration vs. momentum fade.
A two-candle pattern:
“Candle over Candle” (CoC) for long bias: two bullish bars where the first has a small upper wick and the second has a modest lower wick (a brief dip then push higher).
Optional mirrored “Candle under Candle” (CuC) for short bias.
The script labels:
Topping/Bottoming tails (TT/BT).
Large-green sequences and increasing/decreasing bodies (N×LG, ↑B, ↓B).
CoC/CuC pattern bars as “PRE” and the actual breakout bars as “GO”.
While a pattern is “live,” a reference line marks the trigger level (pattern high for longs, pattern low for shorts).
Inputs let you:
Tune wick and body percentage thresholds for tail detection.
Adjust ATR length and the multiplier that defines a “large” body.
Change how many candles are required for large-green sequences and body size trends.
Configure the two-candle pattern (maximum wick sizes, whether a small dip is required, confirmation within N bars).
Choose confirmation mode: close-through the trigger or intrabar wick break.
Enable or disable the short (CuC) side.
Control visual features (tail markers, sequence markers, pattern labels, and background shading on pattern bars).
Typical use:
Apply on intraday or swing timeframes.
Use tails and body behavior to read strength/weakness and potential exhaustion.
Treat CoC/CuC PRE labels as pattern formation, and GO labels as potential trade triggers above/below the pattern.
Combine with your own filters (trend, volume, higher-timeframe levels) rather than using it as a standalone signal generator.
chanlun缠论 - 笔与中枢Overview
The Chanlun (缠论) Strokes & Central Zones indicator is an advanced technical analysis tool based on Chinese Chan Theory (Chanlun Theory). It automatically identifies market structure through "strokes" (笔) and "central hubs" (中枢), providing traders with a systematic framework for understanding price movements, trend structure, and potential reversal zones.
Theoretical Foundation
Chan Theory is a sophisticated price action methodology that breaks down market movements into hierarchical structures:
Local Extremes: Swing highs and lows identified through lookback periods
Strokes (笔): Valid price movements between opposite extremes that meet specific criteria
Central Hubs (中枢): Consolidation zones formed by overlapping strokes, representing key support/resistance areas
Key Components
1. Local Extreme Detection
Identifies swing highs and lows using a configurable lookback period (default: 5 bars)
Only considers extremes within the specified calculation range
Forms the foundation for stroke construction
2. Stroke (笔) Identification
The indicator applies a multi-stage filtering process to identify valid strokes:
Stage 1 - Extreme Consolidation:
Merges consecutive extremes of the same type (high or low)
Keeps only the most extreme value (highest high or lowest low)
Stage 2 - Stroke Validation:
Ensures minimum bar gap between strokes (default: 4 bars)
Alternative validation: 2+ bars with >1% price change
Eliminates noise and insignificant price movements
Color Coding:
White Lines: Regular up/down strokes
Yellow Lines: Strokes that form part of a central hub
Customizable width and colors for different stroke types
3. Central Hub (中枢) Formation
A central hub forms when at least 3 consecutive strokes have overlapping price ranges:
Formation Rules:
Stroke 1:
Stroke 2:
Stroke 3:
Hub Upper = MIN(High1, High2, High3)
Hub Lower = MAX(Low1, Low2, Low3)
Valid if: Hub Upper > Hub Lower
Hub Extension:
Subsequent strokes that overlap with the hub extend it
Hub ends when a stroke no longer overlaps
Creates rectangular zones on the chart
Visual Representation:
Green rectangular boxes: Mark the time and price range of each central hub
Dashed extension lines: Show the latest hub boundaries extending to the right
Price labels on axis: Display exact hub upper and lower boundary values
4. Extreme Point Markers (Optional)
Red markers for tops (▼)
Green markers for bottoms (▲)
Marks every validated stroke extreme point
Useful for detailed structure analysis
5. Information Table (Optional)
Displays real-time statistics:
Symbol name
Current timeframe
Lookback period setting
Minimum gap setting
Total stroke count
Parameter Settings
Performance Settings
Max Bars to Calculate (3600): Limits historical calculation to improve performance
Local Extreme Lookback Period (5): Bars used to identify swing highs/lows
Min Gap Bars (4): Minimum bars required between valid strokes
Display Settings

Trading Applications
Trend Structure Analysis
Uptrend: Series of higher highs and higher lows connected by strokes
Downtrend: Series of lower highs and lower lows connected by strokes
Consolidation: Formation of central hubs indicating range-bound movement
Support and Resistance Identification
Central Hub Zones: Act as strong support/resistance areas
Hub Upper Boundary: Resistance level in consolidation, support after breakout
Hub Lower Boundary: Support level in consolidation, resistance after breakdown
Price tends to react at these levels due to market structure memory
Breakout Trading
Bullish Breakout: Price closes above hub upper boundary
Previous resistance becomes support
Entry on retest of upper boundary
Stop loss below hub zone
Bearish Breakdown: Price closes below hub lower boundary
Previous support becomes resistance
Entry on retest of lower boundary
Stop loss above hub zone
Reversal Detection
Hub Formation After Trend: Signals potential trend exhaustion
Multiple Hub Levels: Create probability zones for reversals
Stroke Count: Excessive strokes within hub suggest weakening momentum
Position Management
Use hub boundaries for stop loss placement
Scale out positions at hub edges
Re-enter on retests of broken hub levels
Interpretation Guide
Strong Trending Market
Long, clear strokes with minimal overlap
Few or no central hubs forming
Strokes consistently in same direction
Wide spacing between extremes
Consolidating Market
Multiple central hubs forming
Short, overlapping strokes
Yellow hub strokes dominate the chart
Narrow price range
Trend Transition
Hub formation after extended trend
Stroke direction changes frequently
Hub boundaries being tested repeatedly
Potential reversal zone
Advanced Usage Techniques
Multi-Timeframe Analysis
Higher Timeframe: Identify major hub zones for overall market structure
Lower Timeframe: Find precise entry points within larger structure
Alignment: Trade when lower timeframe strokes align with higher timeframe hub breaks
Hub Quality Assessment
Wide Hubs: Strong consolidation, higher probability support/resistance
Narrow Hubs: Weak consolidation, may break easily
Extended Hubs: More strokes = stronger zone
Isolated Hubs: Single hub = potential pivot point
Stroke Analysis
Stroke Length: Longer strokes = stronger momentum
Stroke Speed: Fewer bars per stroke = explosive moves
Stroke Clustering: Many short strokes = indecision
Best Practices
Parameter Optimization
Adjust lookback period based on timeframe and volatility
Lower periods (3-4): More strokes, more noise, faster signals
Higher periods (7-10): Fewer strokes, cleaner structure, slower signals
Confirmation Strategy
Don't trade on strokes alone
Combine with volume analysis
Use candlestick patterns at hub boundaries
Wait for breakout confirmation
Risk Management
Always place stops outside hub zones
Use hub width to size positions (wider hub = smaller position)
Exit if price re-enters broken hub from wrong direction
Avoid Common Pitfalls
Don't trade within central hubs (range-bound, unpredictable)
Don't ignore higher timeframe hub structures
Don't chase strokes after they've extended far from hub
Don't trust single-stroke hubs (need 3+ strokes for validity)
Performance Considerations
Max Bars Limit: Set to 3600 to balance detail with performance
Safe Distance Calculation: Only draws objects within 2000 bars of current price
Object Cleanup: Automatically removes old drawing objects to prevent memory issues
Efficient Arrays: Uses indexed arrays for fast lookup and processing
Ideal Market Conditions
Best Performance:
Liquid markets with clear structure (major forex pairs, indices, large-cap stocks)
Trending markets with periodic consolidations
Medium to high volatility for clear stroke formation
Less Effective:
Extremely choppy, directionless markets
Very low timeframes (< 5 minutes) with excessive noise
Illiquid instruments with erratic price action
Integration with Other Indicators
Complementary Tools:
Volume Profile: Confirm hub significance with volume nodes
Moving Averages: Use for trend bias within stroke structure
RSI/MACD: Momentum confirmation at hub boundaries
Fibonacci Retracements: Hub levels often align with Fib levels

Range Oscillator Strategy + Stoch Confirm🔹 Short summary
This is a free, educational long-only strategy built on top of the public “Range Oscillator” by Zeiierman (used under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0), combined with a Stochastic timing filter, an EMA-based exit filter and an optional risk-management layer (SL/TP and R-multiple exits). It is NOT financial advice and it is NOT a magic money machine. It’s a structured framework to study how range-expansion + momentum + trend slope can be combined into one rule-based system, often with intentionally RARE trades.
────────────────────────
0. Legal / risk disclaimer
────────────────────────
• This script is FREE and public. I do not charge any fee for it.
• It is for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.
• It is NOT financial advice and does NOT guarantee profits.
• Backtest results can be very different from live results.
• Markets change over time; past performance is NOT indicative of future performance.
• You are fully responsible for your own trades and risk.
Please DO NOT use this script with money you cannot afford to lose. Always start in a demo / paper trading environment and make sure you understand what the logic does before you risk any capital.
────────────────────────
1. About default settings and risk (very important)
────────────────────────
The script is configured with the following defaults in the `strategy()` declaration:
• `initial_capital = 10000`
→ This is only an EXAMPLE account size.
• `default_qty_type = strategy.percent_of_equity`
• `default_qty_value = 100`
→ This means 100% of equity per trade in the default properties.
→ This is AGGRESSIVE and should be treated as a STRESS TEST of the logic, not as a realistic way to trade.
TradingView’s House Rules recommend risking only a small part of equity per trade (often 1–2%, max 5–10% in most cases). To align with these recommendations and to get more realistic backtest results, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND you to:
1. Open **Strategy Settings → Properties**.
2. Set:
• Order size: **Percent of equity**
• Order size (percent): e.g. **1–2%** per trade
3. Make sure **commission** and **slippage** match your own broker conditions.
• By default this script uses `commission_value = 0.1` (0.1%) and `slippage = 3`, which are reasonable example values for many crypto markets.
If you choose to run the strategy with 100% of equity per trade, please treat it ONLY as a stress-test of the logic. It is NOT a sustainable risk model for live trading.
────────────────────────
2. What this strategy tries to do (conceptual overview)
────────────────────────
This is a LONG-ONLY strategy designed to explore the combination of:
1. **Range Oscillator (Zeiierman-based)**
- Measures how far price has moved away from an adaptive mean.
- Uses an ATR-based range to normalize deviation.
- High positive oscillator values indicate strong price expansion away from the mean in a bullish direction.
2. **Stochastic as a timing filter**
- A classic Stochastic (%K and %D) is used.
- The logic requires %K to be below a user-defined level and then crossing above %D.
- This is intended to catch moments when momentum turns up again, rather than chasing every extreme.
3. **EMA Exit Filter (trend slope)**
- An EMA with configurable length (default 70) is calculated.
- The slope of the EMA is monitored: when the slope turns negative while in a long position, and the filter is enabled, it triggers an exit condition.
- This acts as a trend-protection exit: if the medium-term trend starts to weaken, the strategy exits even if the oscillator has not yet fully reverted.
4. **Optional risk-management layer**
- Percentage-based Stop Loss and Take Profit (SL/TP).
- Risk/Reward (R-multiple) exit based on the distance from entry to SL.
- Implemented as OCO orders that work *on top* of the logical exits.
The goal is not to create a “holy grail” system but to serve as a transparent, configurable framework for studying how these concepts behave together on different markets and timeframes.
────────────────────────
3. Components and how they work together
────────────────────────
(1) Range Oscillator (based on “Range Oscillator (Zeiierman)”)
• The script computes a weighted mean price and then measures how far price deviates from that mean.
• Deviation is normalized by an ATR-based range and expressed as an oscillator.
• When the oscillator is above the **entry threshold** (default 100), it signals a strong move away from the mean in the bullish direction.
• When it later drops below the **exit threshold** (default 30), it can trigger an exit (if enabled).
(2) Stochastic confirmation
• Classic Stochastic (%K and %D) is calculated.
• An entry requires:
- %K to be below a user-defined “Cross Level”, and
- then %K to cross above %D.
• This is a momentum confirmation: the strategy tries to enter when momentum turns up from a pullback rather than at any random point.
(3) EMA Exit Filter
• The EMA length is configurable via `emaLength` (default 70).
• The script monitors the EMA slope: it computes the relative change between the current EMA and the previous EMA.
• If the slope turns negative while the strategy holds a long position and the filter is enabled, it triggers an exit condition.
• This is meant to help protect profits or cut losses when the medium-term trend starts to roll over, even if the oscillator conditions are not (yet) signalling exit.
(4) Risk management (optional)
• Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP):
- Defined as percentages relative to average entry price.
- Both are disabled by default, but you can enable them in the Inputs.
• Risk/Reward Exit:
- Uses the distance from entry to SL to project a profit target at a configurable R-multiple.
- Also optional and disabled by default.
These exits are implemented as `strategy.exit()` OCO orders and can close trades independently of oscillator/EMA conditions if hit first.
────────────────────────
4. Entry & Exit logic (high level)
────────────────────────
A) Time filter
• You can choose a **Start Year** in the Inputs.
• Only candles between the selected start date and 31 Dec 2069 are used for backtesting (`timeCondition`).
• This prevents accidental use of tiny cherry-picked windows and makes tests more honest.
B) Entry condition (long-only)
A long entry is allowed when ALL the following are true:
1. `timeCondition` is true (inside the backtest window).
2. If `useOscEntry` is true:
- Range Oscillator value must be above `entryLevel`.
3. If `useStochEntry` is true:
- Stochastic condition (`stochCondition`) must be true:
- %K < `crossLevel`, then %K crosses above %D.
If these filters agree, the strategy calls `strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long)`.
C) Exit condition (logical exits)
A position can be closed when:
1. `timeCondition` is true AND a long position is open, AND
2. At least one of the following is true:
- If `useOscExit` is true: Oscillator is below `exitLevel`.
- If `useMagicExit` (EMA Exit Filter) is true: EMA slope is negative (`isDown = true`).
In that case, `strategy.close("Long")` is called.
D) Risk-management exits
While a position is open:
• If SL or TP is enabled:
- `strategy.exit("Long Risk", ...)` places an OCO stop/limit order based on the SL/TP percentages.
• If Risk/Reward exit is enabled:
- `strategy.exit("RR Exit", ...)` places an OCO order using a projected R-multiple (`rrMult`) of the SL distance.
These risk-based exits can trigger before the logical oscillator/EMA exits if price hits those levels.
────────────────────────
5. Recommended backtest configuration (to avoid misleading results)
────────────────────────
To align with TradingView House Rules and avoid misleading backtests:
1. **Initial capital**
- 10 000 (or any value you personally want to work with).
2. **Order size**
- Type: **Percent of equity**
- Size: **1–2%** per trade is a reasonable starting point.
- Avoid risking more than 5–10% per trade if you want results that could be sustainable in practice.
3. **Commission & slippage**
- Commission: around 0.1% if that matches your broker.
- Slippage: a few ticks (e.g. 3) to account for real fills.
4. **Timeframe & markets**
- Volatile symbols (e.g. crypto like BTCUSDT, or major indices).
- Timeframes: 1H / 4H / **1D (Daily)** are typical starting points.
- I strongly recommend trying the strategy on **different timeframes**, for example 1D, to see how the behaviour changes between intraday and higher timeframes.
5. **No “caution warning”**
- Make sure your chosen symbol + timeframe + settings do not trigger TradingView’s caution messages.
- If you see warnings (e.g. “too few trades”), adjust timeframe/symbol or the backtest period.
────────────────────────
5a. About low trade count and rare signals
────────────────────────
This strategy is intentionally designed to trade RARELY:
• It is **long-only**.
• It uses strict filters (Range Oscillator threshold + Stochastic confirmation + optional EMA Exit Filter).
• On higher timeframes (especially **1D / Daily**) this can result in a **low total number of trades**, sometimes WELL BELOW 100 trades over the whole backtest.
TradingView’s House Rules mention 100+ trades as a guideline for more robust statistics. In this specific case:
• The **low trade count is a conscious design choice**, not an attempt to cherry-pick a tiny, ultra-profitable window.
• The goal is to study a **small number of high-conviction long entries** on higher timeframes, not to generate frequent intraday signals.
• Because of the low trade count, results should NOT be interpreted as statistically strong or “proven” – they are only one sample of how this logic would have behaved on past data.
Please keep this in mind when you look at the equity curve and performance metrics. A beautiful curve with only a handful of trades is still just a small sample.
────────────────────────
6. How to use this strategy (step-by-step)
────────────────────────
1. Add the script to your chart.
2. Open the **Inputs** tab:
- Set the backtest start year.
- Decide whether to use Oscillator-based entry/exit, Stochastic confirmation, and EMA Exit Filter.
- Optionally enable SL, TP, and Risk/Reward exits.
3. Open the **Properties** tab:
- Set a realistic account size if you want.
- Set order size to a realistic % of equity (e.g. 1–2%).
- Confirm that commission and slippage are realistic for your broker.
4. Run the backtest:
- Look at Net Profit, Max Drawdown, number of trades, and equity curve.
- Remember that a low trade count means the statistics are not very strong.
5. Experiment:
- Tweak thresholds (`entryLevel`, `exitLevel`), Stochastic settings, EMA length, and risk params.
- See how the metrics and trade frequency change.
6. Forward-test:
- Before using any idea in live trading, forward-test on a demo account and observe behaviour in real time.
────────────────────────
7. Originality and usefulness (why this is more than a mashup)
────────────────────────
This script is not intended to be a random visual mashup of indicators. It is designed as a coherent, testable strategy with clear roles for each component:
• Range Oscillator:
- Handles mean vs. range-expansion states via an adaptive, ATR-normalized metric.
• Stochastic:
- Acts as a timing filter to avoid entering purely on extremes and instead waits for momentum to turn.
• EMA Exit Filter:
- Trend-slope-based safety net to exit when the medium-term direction changes against the position.
• Risk module:
- Provides practical, rule-based exits: SL, TP, and R-multiple exit, which are useful for structuring risk even if you modify the core logic.
It aims to give traders a ready-made **framework to study and modify**, not a black box or “signals” product.
────────────────────────
8. Limitations and good practices
────────────────────────
• No single strategy works on all markets or in all regimes.
• This script is long-only; it does not short the market.
• Performance can degrade when market structure changes.
• Overfitting (curve fitting) is a real risk if you endlessly tweak parameters to maximise historical profit.
Good practices:
- Test on multiple symbols and timeframes.
- Focus on stability and drawdown, not only on how high the profit line goes.
- View this as a learning tool and a basis for your own research.

────────────────────────
11. Example backtest settings used in screenshots
────────────────────────
To avoid any confusion about how the results shown in screenshots were produced, here is one concrete example configuration:
• Symbol: BTCUSDT (or similar major BTC pair)
• Timeframe: 1D (Daily)
• Backtest period: from 2018 to the most recent data
• Initial capital: 10 000
• Order size type: Percent of equity
• Order size: 2% per trade
• Commission: 0.1%
• Slippage: 3 ticks
• Risk settings: Stop Loss and Take Profit disabled by default, Risk/Reward exit disabled by default
• Filters: Range Oscillator entry/exit enabled, Stochastic confirmation enabled, EMA Exit Filter enabled
If you change any of these settings (symbol, timeframe, risk per trade, commission, slippage, filters, etc.), your results will look different. Please always adapt the configuration to your own risk tolerance, market, and trading style.
X Trade Plan [asset]A precision-structured execution framework designed to identify, map, and visualize targeted areas of interest derived from prior end-of-day AVWAP levels. These areas represent historically important zones where order flow has previously rotated, absorbed, or redistributed—making them highly relevant for future intraday decision-making.
This tool is intended to work in direct combination with the X Tail that Wags indicator, which calculates and projects the previous session’s ending AVWAP forward into the next trading day. The projected end-of-day AVWAP levels serve as a backbone for this Trade Plan: each level is wrapped, extended, and visually organized into a standardized zone structure that the trader can interpret quickly and consistently.
Purpose and Core Concept
Markets consistently respond to prior session value. The end-of-day AVWAP reflects the final consensus price where volume and time-weighted participation reached equilibrium before the session closed. When carried forward, these levels often act as real-world:
Reversion points
Liquidity pockets
Control centers
Continuation or rejection pivots
Absorption shelves and distribution tops
By framing these AVWAP-derived levels into controlled ranges—each with a slight configurable margin—the indicator transforms abstract numbers into objective, visually actionable trading zones.
How This Indicator Works
The user inputs up to fifteen prior AVWAP levels that came from X Tail that Wags’ “Previous End-of-Day AVWAP” readouts. For each active level, X Trade Plan automatically:
Builds a structured zone around the AVWAP using a user-defined ± margin
Draws a filled box from the anchor bar forward a customizable distance
Adds optional top/bottom price labels for precision
Optionally draws a mid-line representing the core of the zone
Displays custom text labels for classification, notes, or tiering
Refreshes anchor points at user-selected higher-timeframe boundaries (e.g., Daily) so zones “reset cleanly” at each new session
Everything is designed to ensure consistent, non-overlapping, visually efficient zones that maintain chart clarity even when multiple levels are active.
Intended Use in a Trade Plan
This indicator is not a signal generator.
It is a structural mapping tool designed for traders who build a daily plan around:
1. Prior Value → Future Reaction
Price commonly retests, respects, or rejects previous session AVWAP levels. These zones act as tactical reference points to evaluate:
Whether price is accepting value
Rejecting value
Targeting inefficiencies
Passing through low-resistance channels
2. Defining Areas of Interest (AOIs)
Each zone identifies where:
Positioning from previous sessions may still exist
Liquidity may sit
Algorithmic systems often pivot
High-volume traders previously accumulated or distributed
3. Enhancing Bias and Scenario Planning
When used with X Tail that Wags, traders can combine:
Current session AVWAP direction
Prior session ending AVWAP levels
The constructed Trade Plan zones
to produce:
Meaningful upside/downside targets
Control-center ranges
Lean / location for entries
Expected reaction points
This synergy turns raw historical AVWAP data into actionable structure.
Why These Levels Matter
End-of-day AVWAP levels are powerful because they encapsulate:
The final “fair value” of the prior session
Where the most volume-weighted agreement occurred
Where institutional inventory was likely set or hedged
The price many algos and funds benchmark against
When the next session opens, these prior value levels serve as magnets and decision boundaries, helping traders anticipate:
High-probability pullback zones
Reversals off previous value
Break-and-go continuation levels
Failure points where trapped participants are forced to exit

asset transforms prior AVWAP levels—sourced from X Tail that Wags—into a structured visual map of the market’s most relevant historical value areas. These zones are used to shape a deliberate, rules-based Trade Plan that identifies where the market is likely to react, pause, rotate, or accelerate during the current session.
When paired with X Tail that Wags, this indicator provides a powerful, integrated workflow for traders who rely on value-based context, precise levels, and scenario-driven preparation.
Tactical Holding [SwissAlgo]Tactical Holding
A visual framework for managing long-term positions across market cycles
--------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose
Instead of holding a fixed position through all market conditions , you can use this framework to adjust your exposure tactically . By reducing positions during distribution phases and accumulating during favorable accumulation zones, you may end up holding more units of the asset over complete market cycles - even if you temporarily exit or reduce exposure during unfavorable periods. This approach aims to help you compound your holdings by taking advantage of market volatility rather than simply enduring it.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Recommended Settings
Timeframe : Weekly (1W) chart
Chart Type : Standard candlesticks (select 'Bar' type Candles)
This indicator is designed for higher timeframe analysis. While it can be applied to other timeframes, the logic and signal generation are optimized for weekly charts to filter out short-term noise and focus on major market cycles.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key Features
♦ Market State Classification
The indicator aims to categorize potential market conditions into five color-coded states based on technical confluences:
* Bull (bright green): Multiple bullish indicators align
* Bull Retrace (teal): Bullish structure with temporary weakness
* Bull ⇆ Bear Reversal (yellow): Transitional phase between trends
* Bear (bright red): Multiple bearish indicators align
* Bear Retrace (Pale Red/Maroon): Bearish structure with temporary strength
♦ Visual Elements
* Candles change color based on the current market state
* A 50-period EMA tracks with the same color coding, providing visual trend context
* Small arrow markers appear when specific pattern conditions are met (zones for potential distribution or accumulation)
* A legend table (toggle on/off) explains the color system
* A label shows the current state name on the chart
♦ Pattern Recognition
The system monitors for two types of potential entry/exit zones:
1. State transition patterns after periods of market regime consistency
2. RSI divergence patterns (when price and momentum move in opposite directions)
♦ Customization
* Toggle the legend table visibility through settings
* All calculations are transparent and use standard technical analysis methods
--------------------------------------------------------------
How It Works
Think of this indicator as a traffic light system for your portfolio:
♦ Green zones suggest the asset might be in an environment where long-term holders historically have remained invested
Bright green (Bull) : Multiple technical indicators align in a potentially strong bullish phase
Pale green (Bull Retrace) : Bullish structure remains intact, but momentum shows temporary weakness - often a pullback within an uptrend
♦ Red zones suggest conditions where long-term holders might consider reducing exposure or waiting for better entry points
Dark red (Bear) : Multiple technical indicators align in a potentially strong bearish phase
Pale red (Bear Retrace) : Bearish structure remains intact but shows temporary strength - often a bounce within a downtrend
♦ Yellow zones indicate the market is in transition between bull and bear regimes - a time for increased attention as the trend direction becomes uncertain
The system doesn't predict future prices. Instead, it helps you understand the current technical environment by doing the heavy lifting of analyzing multiple indicators at once and presenting them in a simple visual format.
Example: During the 2022 crypto bear market, the indicator would have displayed extended red periods, signaling defensive conditions for holders. When accumulation arrows appeared in late 2022-early 2023, it highlighted potential re-entry zones as the technical regime transitioned back toward green, before the 2024 recovery.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Who This Is For
♦ Long-term investors who want to hold assets through cycles but prefer a systematic approach to position sizing and timing rather than buying and never selling .
♦ Portfolio managers looking for a visual tool to help determine when to increase or decrease exposure to specific assets based on technical regime changes.
♦ Swing traders on higher timeframes who want to align their positions with the broader market structure rather than fighting the trend.
This is not designed for:
* Day traders or scalpers
* Those seeking exact entry/exit prices
* Automated trading systems (this is a visual decision-support tool)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Understanding the Visuals
When you apply Tactical Holding to a chart, you'll see:
1. Colored candles - Instantly see what market regime the asset is in
2. Colored EMA line (thick line) - Provides a dynamic support/resistance reference that changes color with market conditions
3. Small arrows (↑ ↓) - Mark bars where specific technical patterns complete
4. State label - Shows current market classification
5. Legend table (top right) - Quick reference guide for the color system
6. Warning banner (top center) - Reminds you to use weekly charts
The visual design prioritizes clarity over complexity. You should be able to glance at a chart and immediately understand the current technical environment.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Important Limitations
This indicator cannot:
* Predict future price movements
* Guarantee profitable trades
* Work equally well on all assets or timeframes
* Replace your own research and risk management
Technical considerations:
* Divergence detection has a 3-bar confirmation lag (by design, to avoid false signals)
* State transitions require multiple technical confirmations, which may cause delayed reactions to rapid market changes
* The system is reactive, not predictive - it responds to price action after it occurs
* Performance varies significantly between trending assets (like Solana) and stable assets (like Apple)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Practical Application
Consider using this indicator as one component of a broader investment framework:
♦ Understanding Position Context:
The color-coded states can help frame your thinking about current holdings:
Bull: Technical conditions that have historically been associated with sustained uptrends
Bull Retrace: Pullbacks within an overall bullish structure- these periods may offer opportunities to evaluate entry points or reassess existing positions
Reversal (Yellow): Transitional phases where the trend direction is unclear - periods that may warrant closer monitoring
Bear Retrace: Temporary strength within an overall bearish structure - rallies that historically have often faded
Bear: Technical conditions that have historically been associated with sustained downtrends
♦ Interpreting Signal Arrows:
Arrow markers indicate when specific technical pattern conditions have been met. These are observation points, not instructions:
A signal appearing doesn't mean immediate action is required
Treat arrows as prompts for further analysis rather than automatic triggers
Consider the broader context: fundamentals, your investment timeline, risk tolerance, and overall market conditions
Signals show when historical technical patterns have formed - not whether those patterns will lead to the same outcomes as in the past
The framework is designed to organize information visually, not to tell you what to do. Your investment decisions should incorporate this technical perspective alongside other factors relevant to your situation.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Technical Methodology
For transparency, the indicator uses:
* RSI (14) with a 14-period SMA to assess momentum direction
* MACD (12,26,9) to confirm trend strength and histogram momentum
* Stochastic RSI with K and D line crossovers for additional confirmation
* 50-period EMA as the primary trend filter
* Linear regression-based slope analysis to detect flat/transitional periods
* Pivot-based divergence detection following standard technical analysis principles
All calculations use publicly available technical analysis formulas. Nothing is hidden or proprietary beyond the specific combination and weighting of these standard tools.

RSI Regime: Continuation vs Reversal Indicator Description: RSI Regime (Continuation vs. Reversal)
This indicator uses the standard Relative Strength Index (RSI) to analyze market momentum and categorize it into three "regimes." Its primary goal is to help you determine if an overbought (OB) or oversold (OS) signal is likely to be a continuation of the current trend or a reversal point.
It also identifies "Fast Trend Starts," which are exceptionally fast and powerful moves from one extreme to the other.
Core Features & How to Read It
1. The Three RSI Regimes (Background Color) The script calculates a moving average (SMA) of the RSI to determine the dominant medium-term momentum. This is shown as the background color:
Bull Regime (Green Background): The RSI's average is high (e.g., above 55). The market is in a clear uptrend.
Bear Regime (Red Background): The RSI's average is low (e.g., below 45). The market is in a clear downtrend.
Range Regime (Orange Background): The RSI's average is in the middle. The market is consolidating or undecided.
2. Overbought (OB) & Oversold (OS) Signals
When the RSI line crosses into the overbought (e.g., >70) or oversold (e.g., <30) zones, the indicator generates one of two types of signals:
A) Continuation Signals (Small Triangles: ►)
These signals suggest an OB/OS reading is just a "pause" and the main trend will likely continue.
Orange ► (at the top): Appears when RSI becomes overbought while the market is already in a Bull Regime. This suggests the uptrend is strong, and this OB signal may not lead to a big drop.
Teal ► (at the bottom): Appears when RSI becomes oversold while the market is already in a Bear Regime. This suggests the downtrend is strong, and this OS signal may not lead to a big bounce.
(Note: An optional Price EMA filter can be enabled to make these signals more strict.)
B) Reversal Signals (Small Labels: "OS→>50" / "OB→<50")
These labels appear after an OB/OS signal to confirm that a reversal has actually occurred.
"OS→>50 Reversal" (Aqua Label): Appears if the RSI becomes oversold and then recovers back above the 50 midline within a set number of bars. This confirms the oversold dip was a reversal point.
"OB→<50 Reversal" (Orange Label): Appears if the RSI becomes overbought and then falls back below the 50 midline within a set number of bars. This confirms the overbought peak was a reversal point.
3. "Fast Trend Starts" (Large Labels)
This is a unique feature that identifies the fastest percentile of market moves. It measures how many bars it takes for the RSI to go from one extreme to the other and flags when a move is in the top 5% (default) of all historical moves.
"Long Pullbacks (Fast OS→BullRange)" (Large Green Label): This powerful signal appears when the RSI moves from oversold (<30) all the way up to the bull range (>60) exceptionally fast. It identifies a very strong, fast, and decisive bounce that could signal the start of a new uptrend.
"Short Pumps (Fast OB→BearRange)" (Large Red Label): This appears when the RSI moves from overbought (>70) all the way down to the bear range (<40) exceptionally fast. It identifies a very sharp, fast rejection or "pump-and-dump" that could signal the start of a new downtrend.
Key User Inputs
RSI Length (14): The lookback period for the main RSI calculation.
OB (70) / OS (30): The standard overbought and oversold levels.
Bull/Bear Range Threshold (60/40): These are the levels used to confirm the "Fast Trend Starts." They are separate from the OB/OS levels.
RSI Regime SMA Length (21): The lookback period for the moving average that determines the background regime.
Use Price EMA filter (true): If checked, the small "Continuation" triangles will only appear if the price is also above (for bulls) or below (for bears) its own 50-period EMA.
Fastest X% duration (5.0): This sets the percentile for the "Fast Trend Start" labels. 5.0 means it only flags moves that are in the fastest 5% of all recorded moves.
Lightning Session LevelsLightning Session Levels (LSL) draws clean, non-repainting levels for the major market sessions and a compact HUD in the top-right corner. It’s built to be lightweight, readable, and “set-and-forget” for intraday traders.
What it shows
Session High/Low and Open/Close levels for:
ASIA (00:00–08:00 UTC)
EUROPE (07:00–16:00 UTC)
US (13:30–20:00 UTC)
OVERNIGHT (20:00–24:00 UTC)
HUD panel:
Current active session
Countdown to the next US session (auto-calculated from UTC)
How it works (non-repainting)
Levels are anchored at session close. Each line is created once on the confirmed closing bar of the session (x2 = session end).
Optional Extend Right keeps the level projecting forward without changing the anchor (no “drifting”).
All drawings are pinned to the right price scale for stable reading.
Inputs
Show HUD — toggle the top-right panel.
Show Levels — master switch for drawing levels.
Draw High/Low — H/L session levels.
Draw Open/Close — O/C session levels.
Extend Right — extend all session lines to the future.
Keep N past sessions per market — FIFO limit per session group (default 12).
ASIA / EUROPE / US / OVERNIGHT — enable/disable specific sessions.
Style & palette
Consistent “Lightning” colors:
ASIA = Cyan, EUROPE = Violet, US = Amber, OVERNIGHT = Teal
Labels are always size: Normal for readability.
HUD uses a dark, subtle two-tone background to stay out of the way.
Recommended use
Timeframes: intraday (1m → 4h).
On 1D and higher, TradingView’s session-window time() filters won’t match intraday windows, so levels won’t plot (by design).
Markets: crypto, indices, FX, equities — any symbol where intraday session context helps.
Notes & limitations
Fixed UTC windows. The US window is set to 13:30–20:00 UTC. Daylight-saving shifts (DST) are not auto-adjusted; if you need region-specific DST behavior, treat this as a consistent UTC model.
The HUD timer counts down to the next US open from the current UTC clock.
Draw limits are capped (500 lines, 500 labels) for performance and stability.
Quick start
Add Lightning Session Levels to your chart.
Toggle Draw High/Low and/or Draw Open/Close.
Turn on Extend Right if you want the levels to project forward.
Enable only the sessions you care about (e.g., just EUROPE and US).
Use Keep N past sessions to control clutter (e.g., 6–12).

[Statistics] killzone SFPSFP Statistics (ICT Sessions)
This indicator automatically finds and draws the high and low of the Asia, London, and New York trading sessions. It then hunts for Swing Failure Patterns (SFPs) that sweep these key session levels.
The main purpose of this script is to gather statistics on when these high-probability SFPs occur, allowing you to map out and identify the times of day when they are most frequent.
How to Use This Indicator
Set Your SFP Timeframe: In the settings, choose the timeframe you want to hunt for SFPs on (e.g., 1H, 15m). Important: You must also set your main chart to this exact same timeframe for the statistics to be collected correctly.
Define Your Sessions: Go to the "Session Definitions" tab.
Set the Global Timezone to your preferred trading timezone (e.g., "America/New_York"). This controls all session times and table times.
Adjust the start and end times for Asia, London, and NY AM sessions.
You can turn off sessions you don't want to track (like NY Lunch or NY PM).
You can also change the colors and text style for the session boxes here.
Set Confirmation Bars: In "SFP Engine Settings," the "Confirmation Bars" (default is 2) defines how many bars must close after the SFP bar without invalidating the level. An SFP is only "confirmed" and drawn after this period.
0 = Confirms immediately on the SFP candle's close.
2 = Confirms 2 bars after the SFP candle's close.
Read the Statistics: The "Custom SFP Statistics" table will appear on your chart. This table logs every confirmed SFP and tells you:
Which time of day they happen most.
How many were Bearish (swept a high) vs. Bullish (swept a low).
It's set by default to show the "Top 20" most frequent times, sorted chronologically.
Filter Your Chart (Optional): If your chart feels cluttered, go to "Visual Time Filter" and turn it ON.
Set a time window (e.g., "09:30-11:00").
The indicator will now only draw SFP signals that occurred within that specific time window. This is perfect for focusing on a single killzone.
How to Set Up Alerts
You can set up server-side alerts to be notified every time a new SFP is confirmed.
Check the "Enable SFP Alerts" box at the top of the indicator's settings.
Click the "Alert" button (alarm clock icon) on the TradingView toolbar.
In the "Condition" dropdown, select "SFP Statistics (ICT Sessions)".
In the second dropdown, choose "Any alert() function call".
Most Important Step: In the "Message" box, delete any default text and type in this exact placeholder:
{{alert_message}}
Set the trigger to "Once Per Bar Close".
Click "Create".
How Alerts Work (Triggers & Filtering)
Trigger: Alerts are tied to the confirmed signal. An alert will only fire after your "Confirmation Bars" have passed and the SFP is locked in. This prevents you from getting alerts on fake-outs.
Alert Filtering: The alerts are linked to the "Visual Time Filter". If you turn on the Visual Time Filter (e.g., to 09:30-11:00), you will only receive alerts for SFPs that are confirmed within that time window. If an SFP happens at 14:00, the script will ignore it, it will not be drawn, and it will not send you an alert. This allows you to get alerts only for the session you are actively trading.
Note: This is a first draft of this indicator. I will continue to work on it and improve it over time, as it may still contain small bugs.

Holographic Market Microstructure | AlphaNattHolographic Market Microstructure | AlphaNatt
A multidimensional, holographically-rendered framework designed to expose the invisible forces shaping every candle — liquidity voids, smart money footprints, order flow imbalances, and structural evolution — in real time.
---
📘 Overview
The Holographic Market Microstructure (HMS) is not a traditional indicator. It’s a visual architecture built to interpret the true anatomy of the market — a living data structure that fuses price, volume, and liquidity into one coherent holographic layer.
Instead of reacting to candles, HMS visualizes the market’s underlying micro-dynamics : where liquidity hides, where volume flows, and how structure morphs as smart money accumulates or distributes.
Designed for system-based traders, volume analysts, and liquidity theorists who demand to see the unseen — the invisible grid driving every price movement.
---
🔬 Core Analytical Modules
Microstructure Analysis
Deconstructs each bar’s internal composition to identify imbalance between aggressive buying and selling. Using a configurable Imbalance Ratio and Liquidity Threshold , the algorithm marks low-liquidity zones and price inefficiencies as “liquidity voids.”
• Detects hidden supply/demand gaps.
• Quantifies micro-level absorption and exhaustion.
• Reveals flow compression and expansion phases.
Smart Money Tracking
Applies advanced volume-rate-of-change and price momentum relationships to map institutional activity.
• Accumulation Zones – Where price rises on expanding volume.
• Distribution Zones – Where price declines on rising volume.
• Automatically visualized as glowing boxes, layered through time to simulate footprint persistence.
Fractal Structure Mapping
Reveals the recursive nature of price formation. HMS detects fractal highs/lows, then connects them into an evolving structure.
• Defines nested market structure across multiple scales.
• Maps trend progression and transition points.
• Renders with adaptive glow lines to reflect depth and strength.
Volume Heat Map
Transforms historical volume data into a 3D holographic heat projection.
• Each band represents a volume-weighted price level.
• Gradient brightness = relative participation intensity.
• Helps identify volume nodes, voids, and liquidity corridors.
HUD Display System
Real-time analytical dashboard summarizing the system’s internal metrics directly on the chart.
• Flow, Structure, Smart$, Liquidity, and Divergence — all live.
• Designed for both scalpers and swing traders to assess micro-context instantly.
---
🧠 Smart Money Intelligence Layer
The Smart Money Index dynamically evaluates the harmony (or conflict) between price momentum and volume acceleration. When institutions accumulate or distribute discreetly, volume surges ahead of price. HMS detects this divergence and overlays it as glowing smart money zones.
◈ ACCUM → Institutional absorption, early uptrend formation.
◈ DISTRIB → Distribution and top-heavy conditions.
○ IDLE → Neutral flow equilibrium.
Divergences between price and volume are signaled using holographic alerts ( ⚠ ALERT ) to highlight exhaustion or trap conditions — often precursors to structural reversals.
---
🌀 Fractal Market Structure Engine
The fractal subsystem recursively identifies local pivot symmetry, connecting micro-structural highs and lows into a holographic skeleton.
• Bullish Structure — Higher highs & higher lows align (▲ BULLISH).
• Bearish Structure — Lower highs & lower lows dominate (▼ BEARISH).
• Ranging — Fractal symmetry balance (◆ RANGING).
Each transition is visually represented through adaptive glow intensity, producing a living contour of market evolution .
---
🔥 Volume Heat Map Projection
The heatmap acts as a volumetric X-ray of the recent 100–300 bars. Each horizontal segment reflects liquidity density, rendered with gradient opacity from cold (inactive) to hot (highly active).
• Detects hidden accumulation shelves and distribution ridges.
• Identifies imbalanced liquidity corridors (voids).
• Reveals the invisible scaffolding of the order book.
When combined with smart money zones and structure lines, it creates a multi-layered holographic perspective — allowing traders to see liquidity clusters and their interaction with evolving structure in real time.
---
💎 Holographic Visual Engine
Every element of HMS is dynamically color-mapped to its visual theme . Each theme carries a distinct personality:
Aeon — Neon blue plasma aesthetic; futuristic and fluid.
Cyber — High-contrast digital energy; circuit-like clarity.
Quantum — Deep space gradients; reflective of non-linear flow.
Neural — Organic transitions; biological intelligence simulation.
Plasma — Vapor-bright gradients; high-energy reactive feedback.
Crystal — Minimalist, transparent geometry; pristine data visibility.
Optional Glow Effects and Pulse Animations create a living hologram that responds to real-time market conditions.

🧭 HUD Analytics Table
A live data matrix placed anywhere on-screen (top, middle, or side). It summarizes five critical systems:
Flow: Order flow bias — ▲ BUYING / ▼ SELLING / ◆ NEUTRAL.
Struct: Microstructure direction — ▲ BULLISH / ▼ BEARISH / ◆ RANGING.
Smart$: Institutional behavior — ◈ ACCUM / ◈ DISTRIB / ○ IDLE.
Liquid: Market efficiency — ⚡ VOID / ● NORMAL.
Diverg: Price/Volume correlation — ⚠ ALERT / ✓ CLEAR.
Each metric’s color dynamically adjusts according to live readings, effectively serving as a neural HUD layer for rapid interpretation.

🧩 Trading Application
Identify early signs of institutional activity before breakouts.
Track structure transitions with fractal precision.
Locate hidden liquidity voids and high-value areas.
Confirm strength of trends using order-flow bias.
Detect volume-based divergences that often precede reversals.
HMS is designed not just for observation — but for contextual understanding . Its purpose is to help traders anchor strategies in liquidity and flow dynamics rather than surface-level price action.
---
🪞 Philosophy
Markets are holographic. Each candle contains a reflection of every other candle — a fractal within a fractal, a structure within a structure. The HMS is built to reveal that reflection, allowing traders to see through the market’s multidimensional fabric.

FVG ATRFVG ATR — Fair Value Gap Size Measured in ATR Units
This Pine Script v6 indicator detects Fair Value Gaps and displays their size as a ratio of the Average True Range, providing traders with a normalized measurement of gap significance across different market conditions and timeframes.
Key Features
Automatic FVG Detection
The indicator identifies bullish and bearish Fair Value Gaps using the standard three-candle pattern. Bullish FVGs occur when the current low exceeds the high from two bars ago, while bearish FVGs occur when the current high falls below the low from two bars ago.
ATR Ratio Calculation
Each detected FVG is measured against the current Average True Range at the moment of detection. The ratio is displayed as a compact label next to the gap, showing values like "ATR: 0.75" or "ATR: 1.41". This normalization allows comparison of gap significance across volatile and calm market periods.
Minimal Visual Footprint
Labels are displayed directly on the chart without boxes or lines, using customizable text sizes from tiny to large. The default tiny size ensures the chart remains uncluttered while providing essential information at a glance.
Highly Customizable Display
All visual aspects are configurable through input parameters, including label position (top, middle, or bottom of gap), text size, text color, optional background, and horizontal offset from the detection candle.
Customizable Parameters
Detection Settings
Detect Bullish FVG: Enable or disable detection of bullish gaps. Default is enabled.
Detect Bearish FVG: Enable or disable detection of bearish gaps. Default is enabled.
Min Size (pips): Filter out small gaps below the specified threshold. One pip equals 10 ticks for most Forex pairs. Default is 10 pips.
ATR Calculation
ATR Period: Period length for Average True Range calculation. Default is 14, adjustable to match your trading strategy.
Label Settings
Label Position: Vertical placement of the text label relative to the FVG zone. Options are Top, Middle, or Bottom. Default is Middle.
Label Size: Text size from Tiny (smallest), Small, Normal, to Large. Default is Tiny for minimal chart clutter.
Text Color: Custom color for label text. Default is white for visibility on dark themes.
Show Background: Toggle to display labels with a colored background box or as transparent text only. Default is disabled for cleaner appearance.
Background Color: Custom color for label background when enabled. Default is semi-transparent gray.
Label Offset (bars): Horizontal distance in bars between the detection candle and the label. Set to 0 for labels directly on the candle, or increase for separation. Default is 0.
Recommended Use Cases
Multi-Timeframe Analysis
Compare FVG significance across different timeframes by observing ATR ratios. A 1.5 ATR gap on the 1-hour chart may indicate different significance than the same ratio on the daily chart.
Volatility-Adjusted Trading
Use ATR ratios to filter for only the most significant gaps. For example, only trade FVGs with ratios above 1.0 to focus on gaps larger than typical price movement.
Risk Management
Size positions based on gap magnitude relative to current volatility. Larger ATR ratios may warrant tighter stops or smaller position sizes.
Market Efficiency Analysis
Track how quickly and completely different-sized gaps get filled. Gaps with higher ATR ratios may take longer to fill or act as stronger support and resistance zones.
Technical Details
This indicator is written in Pine Script v6 and follows all recommended coding standards including strict 4-space indentation, lazy boolean evaluation, and proper type declarations. The script uses array-based storage to maintain up to 500 labels simultaneously.
The ATR ratio is calculated at the moment of FVG detection and remains fixed, never repainting. The calculation divides the FVG height (distance between gap boundaries) by the current ATR value using the specified period. Division by zero is protected with conditional logic.
Label positioning uses the xloc.bar_index and yloc.price system for precise placement. The horizontal offset parameter allows traders to adjust label spacing based on chart zoom level and personal preference. Text formatting uses str.tostring with two decimal places for clear ratio display.
Important Notes
The indicator never repaints as all FVG detections and ATR calculations are fixed upon bar confirmation. Labels persist on the chart until the maximum label count is reached, at which point the oldest labels are automatically removed by TradingView.
For optimal performance on charts with many FVGs, consider increasing the minimum pip size filter or using smaller label sizes. The tiny size option provides the smallest possible text for maximum chart clarity.
Installation and Usage
Copy the source code into the TradingView Pine Editor and add the indicator to your chart. The overlay parameter is set to true, allowing labels to display directly on price candles. Configure all parameters through the indicator settings panel to match your trading style and visual preferences.

EPS Estimate Profile [SS]This is the EPS Estimate Profile indicator.
What it does
This indicator
Collects all EPS estimates over the course of a lookback and BINS them (sorts them into 10 equal sized categories).
Analyzes the returns from earnings releases based on the EPS estimate and the reaction.
Calculates the number of bullish vs bearish responses that transpired based on the EPS estimate profile.
Calculates the expected Open to High and Open to Low ATR based on the EPS estimate using regression.
Toggle to actual EPS release to compare once earnings results are released.
How to Use it
This indicator can be used to gain insight into whether an earnings release will be received bullishly or bearishly based on the company's EPS estimate.
The indicator allows you to see all historic estimates and how the market generally responded to those estimates, as well as a breakdown of how many times estimates in those ranges produced a bullish response or a bearish response to earnings.
Examples
Let's look at some examples:
Here is MSFT. MSFT's last EPS estimate was 3.672.
If we consult the table, we can see the average return associated with this estimate range is -4%.
Now let's flip to the Daily timeframe and take a look:
MSFT ended the day red and continued to sell into the coming days.
Let's look at another example:
MCDs. Last earnings estimate was 3.327, putting it at the top of the range with an average positive return of 4%.
Let's look on the daily:
We can see that the earnings had a huge, bullish effect on MCD, despite them coming in below their estimates.
If we toggle the indicator to "Actual" EPS release, to see the profile of Actual earnings releases vs response, we get this:
Since MCD under-performed, they were still at the top of the profile; but, we can see that the expected returns are more muted now, though still positive. And indeed, the reaction was still positive.
Distinguishing % Bullish/Bearish to Avg Returns
You will see the profile table displays both the average returns and the percent of bullish/bearish responses. In some cases, you will see that, despite a negative return, the profile reveals more bullish reactions than bearish.
What does this mean?
It means, despite there being more bullish responses, when bearish responses happen they tend to be more severe and profound, vs bullish responses likely are muted.
This can alert you to potential downside risk and help you manage risk accordingly should you elect to trade the earnings release.
ATR Prediction
You will notice in the bottom right corner of the screen a secondary table that lists the predicted open to high ATR and open to low ATR.
This is done using RAW EPS estimates (or raw ACTUAL estimates depending on which you select) and performing a regression to determine the expected ATR.
This is only for reference, the analysis should focus around the historic profile of return estimates and actual return values.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You MUST be on the Monthly timeframe to use this. Otherwise, you will get an error. If, on certain tickers with a huge history, such as MSFT and XOM or OXY, you get an error, you can simply reduce the lookback length to 80 and this will resolve the issue.
Conclusion
And that's the indicator!
A blend of some light math and fundamentals! A real joy honestly.
Hope you enjoy it!

Risk-On / Risk-Off Toolkit [SB1] (NQ, RTY, YM) VIXDescription:
The Risk-On / Risk-Off Toolkit is a professional-grade market context indicator designed to help traders quickly identify broad market sentiment shifts and gauge risk appetite. By combining major US equity futures (NQ, RTY, YM) with VIX dynamics, this toolkit provides clear visual signals of “Risk-On” (bullish, lower volatility environment) and “Risk-Off” (bearish, higher volatility environment) conditions. This is ideal for traders using discretionary analysis, swing strategies, intraday scalping, or portfolio positioning decisions.

Identifies when all three indices are moving in sync, highlighting broad market directional alignment.
VIX Confirmation:
Integrates the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) to gauge market risk sentiment.
Confirms Risk-On conditions when VIX is falling while all three futures are bullish.

Strong Body Candle Signals:
Detects high conviction candlestick moves where the body represents at least 85% of the total range.
