Hedge Fund Trading System Core Components
1. Factor Model
The heart of HFTS is a four-factor scoring system:
Value Factor: Measures price deviation from fair value (historical mean). Positive scores indicate undervaluation; negative scores indicate overvaluation.
Momentum Factor: Risk-adjusted momentum measuring recent returns relative to volatility. Identifies trending strength.
Carry Factor: Approximates institutional carry trades using price structure analysis (configurable methods).
Macro Regime: Long-term trend regime detection (BULL/BEAR/NEUTRAL) using slope-normalized moving averages.
Each factor is normalized and combined into a Combined Factor Score ranging from -1 (extremely bearish) to +1 (extremely bullish).
2. Trend Filter (EMA Cloud)
Triple EMA system (21/55/200) providing:
Short-term trend direction (Fast vs Slow EMA)
Macro trend context (200 EMA)
Visual cloud for trend state
3. Adaptive Volatility Bands
Dynamic bands that expand/contract based on current volatility regime:
HIGH volatility: Bands expand (wider stops needed)
LOW volatility: Bands contract (tighter entries possible)
NORMAL: Standard deviation
4. Volume Profile & VWAP
Volume Profile: Shows price levels with highest trading activity
POC (Point of Control): Highest volume price level
Value Area (VAH/VAL): 70% of volume concentrated zone
VWAP + Deviation Bands: Institutional execution benchmark
5. Risk Management Panel
Real-time position sizing and risk metrics:
Calculated position size based on account risk %
Stop distance (ATR-based)
Drawdown tracking with kill switch
Directional bias status
Z-Score Trading Strategy
The Z-Score is your mean reversion radar. It measures how many standard deviations price is from its 20-period mean.
Z-Score Levels:
Z-ScoreConditionMeaning> +2.5Extreme Overbought🔶 Diamond marker appears - potential short setup> +2.0OverboughtPrice extended above mean-2.0 to +2.0Normal RangeNo extreme conditions< -2.0OversoldPrice extended below mean< -2.5Extreme Oversold🔷 Diamond marker appears - potential long setup
How to Trade Z-Score Signals:
Mean Reversion Longs (Z < -2.0):
Wait for Z-Score to drop below -2.0 (oversold)
Look for diamond marker at extreme (-2.5)
Confirm Macro Regime is NOT "BEAR"
Enter when Z-Score starts turning UP (reversal confirmation)
Target: VWAP or Vol Band Basis (mean)
Stop: Below recent swing low or Vol Band Lower
Mean Reversion Shorts (Z > +2.0):
Wait for Z-Score to rise above +2.0 (overbought)
Look for diamond marker at extreme (+2.5)
Confirm Macro Regime is NOT "BULL"
Enter when Z-Score starts turning DOWN
Target: VWAP or Vol Band Basis
Stop: Above recent swing high or Vol Band Upper
Z-Score + Factor Confluence:
The best mean reversion trades occur when:
Z-Score hits extreme AND
Value Factor confirms (undervalued for longs, overvalued for shorts) AND
Price is at/beyond Volatility Band AND
Volume spike confirms institutional participation

ابحث في النصوص البرمجية عن "volume profile"
VEGA PRIME 2026This indicator provides trade signals based on key levels from the previous day's Volume Profile:
VAH (Value Area High)
VAL (Value Area Low)
POC (Point of Control)
Since Pine Script cannot access built-in Volume Profile values automatically, you will manually enter the previous day’s VAH, VAL, and POC at the start of each new trading day.
Features:
Plots horizontal lines for VAH, VAL, and POC.
Shows:
Buy signal when price crosses above VAH.
Sell signal when price crosses below VAL.
POC breach signal when price crosses the POC in either direction.
Visual markers on the chart for each signal.
Alerts for all signal types.
How to Use:
At the beginning of each trading day:
Use the built-in Session Volume Profile tool to identify the VAH, VAL, and POC levels.
Enter those levels into the script’s input settings.
The script resets inputs every new day.
Use the signals to monitor breakouts or key reactions around value areas.
Important Notes:
Levels must be manually updated each day.
This indicator does not calculate the volume profile itself.
Use signals as confirmations, ideally in combination with other analysis methods.
RVOL WatchlistRVOL Watchlist — Intraday Relative Volume & VAH Context Scanner
Use this along with "RVOL Intraday Truth" indicator by Preps_Ver for better results on trade execution.
Overview:
RVOL Watchlist is an intraday watchlist-style monitoring tool that tracks Relative Volume (RVOL) across multiple symbols and enriches it with session Value Area context.
The script is designed to help traders quickly identify symbols showing abnormal participation near value, without generating trade signals or execution logic.
What Problem This Solves (Originality & Usefulness):
Scanning Relative Volume one symbol at a time is inefficient during fast intraday conditions.
This script solves that by:
Aggregating RVOL into a single on-chart table
Adding session Value Area High (VAH) context
Highlighting symbols where volume expansion aligns with acceptance above value
The script is intentionally non-opinionated and non-executable — it highlights where to look, not what to trade.
How It Works (Conceptual Explanation):
Relative Volume (RVOL):
RVOL compares the current session’s cumulative volume
Against the average cumulative volume of the last N trading days
Volume automatically resets at the start of each session
Calculations are replay-safe and session-aware
This ensures RVOL reflects true intraday participation, not raw volume spikes.
Session Value Area (VAH):
For each symbol, the script computes an intraday session Volume Profile:
Volume is binned by price using a configurable bin size
A Point of Control (POC) is identified as the highest-volume price level
The Value Area is built by expanding outward from the POC
Expansion continues until the configured Value Area % (default 70%) is reached
The upper boundary of this range is marked as VAH
This provides a contextual reference, showing whether price is trading above, inside, or below session value.
SS: Strong Start: RVOL + VAH Context
Symbols are visually highlighted when:
RVOL exceeds a user-defined threshold, and
Price shows acceptance relative to session VAH
This combination helps distinguish meaningful participation from random volume bursts.
Watchlist Table Behavior:
The table updates dynamically during the session
Each row represents a tracked symbol
Columns focus on RVOL and value context only
Color highlighting draws attention to abnormal participation
The table is meant for fast visual scanning, not signal generation.
Timeframe Behavior:
Intraday Charts:
Full RVOL and session VAH logic is active
Calculations reset on each new trading day
Daily / Higher Timeframes:
RVOL is derived from daily average volume
Session-specific VAH logic is inactive
How to Use:
Apply on intraday charts (1–15 min recommended)
Monitor the table for RVOL expansion near or above value
Use highlighted symbols as candidates for deeper analysis
Best suited for liquid stocks
Limitations:
Volume profile is bar-based, not tick-based
VAH accuracy depends on bar resolution
Illiquid symbols may show distorted volume distribution
Current session values evolve until market close
Footprint.Pro [Elykia]OVERVIEW
The Footprint Pro is a comprehensive Order Flow and Footprint analysis tool designed to visualize buying and selling pressure inside each candlestick. Unlike standard charts that only show OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close), this script uses a proprietary Reconstruction Engine to reveal the internal volume distribution, allowing traders to see the interaction between aggressive buyers (Ask) and sellers (Bid) at every price level.
METHODOLOGY & DATA PRECISION
To achieve high-definition Order Flow without external data feeds, this script is designed to be applied on a 1-second (1s) chart timeframe .
Reconstruction Engine: It harvests granular 1-second data to mathematically reconstruct and draw Footprint candles for higher timeframes (from 1 Minute up to 15 Minutes).
Why 1-second? By processing 1-second intervals, the script captures the exact price levels where volume was traded with very high precision. This allows for the creation of accurate Volume Profiles and Delta calculations inside the candle, creating a granular view impossible to achieve with standard timeframe data.
CALCULATION MODES & STYLES
The script processes this data using distinct algorithms and visualization styles to adapt to different market conditions.
Timeframe Mode: Reconstructs standard time-based footprints (e.g., viewing M5 candles while remaining on the 1s chart).
Simulated Range Bars: Uses a custom volatility algorithm to ignore time and close bars based on pure price movement.
Why use Range Mode? Unlike time-based charts, Range bars filter out "noise" during low volatility (choppy markets) and clarify market structure, allowing traders to see pure price action and volume distribution without the distortion of time.
VISUALIZATION TOOLS: HISTOGRAM, HEATMAP & POC
Profile Style (Histogram): Instead of raw numbers, the script draws a volume profile inside the candle. This offers an instant visual reading to spot if volume is "heavy" at the bottom (support) or top (resistance).
Heatmap (Dynamic Coloring):
Function: The script dynamically adjusts the opacity (transparency) of each histogram bar based on Delta intensity relative to surrounding volumes. Levels with strong aggression appear opaque and vivid, while low activity zones remain transparent.
Trader Benefit: This creates an immediate visual hierarchy. The trader's eye automatically ignores noise to focus only on "Hot Spots" where the real battle between buyers and sellers is taking place.
POC (Point of Control): Indicates the exact price level where maximum volume was traded. Its position is crucial: a POC at the top of a wick indicates buyers were trapped (weakness/rejection).
Show Data (Dashboard): Displays real-time Total Volume, Delta, and candle size to qualify volatility (e.g., distinguishing an anecdotal move from a real institutional impulse).
MAJOR SYNERGY: MULTI-TIMEFRAME SMT & FOOTPRINT
The script integrates an SMT (Smart Money Technique) engine that works in synergy with the Footprint to offer a comprehensive "Macro & Micro" approach.
1. The SMT Engine (The Structural Alert)
The module performs a background scan on 4 distinct timeframes simultaneously (e.g., 30s, 1m, 2m, 5m).
Logic: It continuously compares the Pivots (Highs/Lows) of the current asset against a correlated comparison asset (e.g., NQ vs ES or EURUSD vs DXY).
Signal: If Asset A makes a Higher High while Asset B makes a Lower High on ANY of the 4 monitored timeframes, a specific divergence label is plotted.
Interest: It is an early warning signal indicating an institutional intention of reversal or exhaustion, often before price visibly turns.
2. Interaction with Footprint (The Confirmation)
An SMT divergence alone can be early. Combining it with Footprint offers surgical timing:
Context: SMT warns that correlations are breaking and the move is running out of steam.
Trigger: The trader then waits for the Footprint to display a Rejection Setup or Absorption at this SMT level.
Result: This avoids entering too early and confirms that real orders (Micro-structure) validate the structural thesis (Macro).
SMART ASSISTANT: REAL-TIME CONTEXT
To assist traders, a logic engine analyzes the last 5-10 reconstructed candles to detect actor psychology:
Liquidity Sweeps (Turtle Soup):
Function: Price breaks a recent high/low to trigger stops, then immediately reintegrates.
Trader Benefit: Allows identification of false breakouts and taking the counter-party (Reversal) with an excellent risk/reward ratio, once liquidity is captured.
Absorption (Iceberg Orders):
Function: Massive volume traded without price progression (Strong Delta but small candle).
Trader Benefit: Signals a "Wall" of passive limit orders. The trader knows not to bet against this wall (protection) or can enter in the direction of the defense.
Traps (Delta Divergence):
Function: Divergence between candle color and its Delta (e.g., Red Candle with massive Green Delta).
Trader Benefit: Indicates aggressive participants are "trapped" (underwater). The trader profits from their pain (Pain Trade) when these trapped traders have to liquidate positions.
THE 6 ALGORITHMIC SETUPS (TRIANGLES & MARKERS)
The script monitors every tick to generate 6 specific signals, reducing trader mental fatigue:
Setup 1: Rejection (Validated Rejection)
Signal: Large wick + Delta confirming rejection.
Interest: Filters profit-taking to keep only real counter-trend aggression.
Setup 2: Exhaustion
Signal: Sharp volume drop at high/low + POC at extreme.
Interest: Indicates end of a healthy trend (no one left to push price).
Setup 3: Failed Aggression
Signal: Explosive volume (>2x avg) but price stalls.
Interest: Sign of institutional hand blocking the market (Absorption). Powerful reversal signal.
Setup 4: Trap
Signal: Strict divergence between candle color and cumulative Delta.
Interest: Exploiting the "Squeeze" of trapped traders.
Setup 5: Stacked Imbalances (The Wall)
Signal: 3 consecutive price levels with buy/sell imbalance > 300%.
Interest: Materializes a very strong Support/Resistance zone (displayed by a box). If price tests this zone again, it's a high-probability bounce opportunity.
Setup 6: Absorption Pattern (Zero Prints / Block)
Signal: Presence of "Zeros" in footprint (lack of liquidity) vs large volume (block).
Interest: Fine microstructure detection often indicating immediate stop of current move.
VWAP INTEGRATION & COMBINED STRATEGY
The script calculates and plots an anchored VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price), based on the reconstructed data.
Interest of VWAP (The "Fair Value"): The VWAP is the absolute reference for institutional algorithms. It represents the average price paid by all participants during the session. If price is above, the trend is bullish (buyers in control); below, it is bearish. It often acts as an invisible dynamic support/resistance.
VWAP + Footprint Interaction (Context + Trigger): The VWAP provides the level of intervention and the Footprint provides the confirmation via volume.
Instead of trading every Footprint signal randomly, the trader uses VWAP as a probability filter:
1. In uptrend: Ignore sell signals. Wait for price to pull back to VWAP.
2. Confirmation: At that precise moment, look at the Footprint.
Concrete Trade Example (The "Defensive Bounce"):
Scenario: Price is in uptrend and corrects to touch the VWAP line.
What Footprint must show: Look for an Absorption or Failed Aggression Setup. For example, aggressive sellers attack the VWAP (very negative Delta, big red volume), but price refuses to close below VWAP (rejection wick or green candle).
The Order: This is the signal that institutions are defending their average price (passive buy limits absorbing sells). The trader buys with a short stop below the absorption wick, aligning with "Big Players".
AUTHOR'S INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: CONFIGURATION REQUIRED
This script uses a granular reconstruction engine. To work correctly, you MUST set your chart timeframe to 1 second (1s) .
Step-by-Step Setup:
Open your chart and select the 1-second (1s) timeframe.
Hide the original candles: Right-click on the chart, Settings, Symbol, uncheck the "Body", "Borders", and "Wick". This removes the clutter of the 1s bars so you can see the reconstructed Footprint clearly.
Add the indicator to the chart.
The script loads with a default 1-minute configuration. You can change to Range Bars or other timeframes in the Settings.

Crypto Volume Data (VAH,POC,VAL)Crypto Volume Data (VAH, POC, VAL) — Multi-Exchange Aggregated Volume Zones
This indicator delivers a high-precision volume profile for crypto assets by aggregating real traded volume across Binance, Bybit, Coinbase, Kraken, OKX, and MEXC. It auto-detects multiple quote pairs (USD, USDT, USDC, FDUSD, USDT.P, USDC.P) and merges the live volume distribution respecting each exchange’s volume for that symbol to calculate institutional-grade VAH, POC, and VAL levels.
No matter which symbol or pair from which exchange is open on the chart, the script dynamically detects the base asset and fetches volume from all matching pairs on supported exchanges. For example, whether you load BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT.P, or SOL/FDUSD, the system identifies the symbol and aggregates volume from all relevant pairs of that symbol across all mentioned exchanges, weighting them based on real volume. This leads to significantly more accurate value areas — especially compared to single-source or single-pair profiles that miss fragmented liquidity and the real volume of each exchange.
This script is fully plug-and-play. There’s no need to select lookback windows or configure pairs — it's already optimized with pre-set internal parameters for common trading timeframes. (Still, you can adjust for your needs in the settings, but keep in mind more lookback is not necessarily a good thing — it might affect the accuracy of your output depending on the timeframe.)
Key Features:
Live aggregation of volume across 5 exchanges
Supports most listed altcoins with reliable quote pair coverage
Dynamic auto symbol/quote detection and normalization
Automatically adapts to any crypto chart without user setup
Real institutional zones — not synthetic, not heuristic
Why It Matters:
In fragmented crypto markets, liquidity isn’t centralized. Volume for a coin like ETH may be split between USDT on Binance, USD on Kraken, or USDC on MEXC. Most indicators ignore that. This tool doesn’t. It brings that volume together to provide the most contextually accurate VAH/POC/VAL levels possible, tailored to the charted asset and timeframe.
This isn't just another volume indicator. It’s built from the ground up to capture where the real trades happen — not just where price moved — and shows you the zones that institutions and large players respect.

Volume Range Profile with Fair Value (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Volume Range Profile with Fair Value (Zeiierman) is a precision-built volume-mapping tool designed to help traders visualize where institutional-level activity is occurring within the price range — and how that volume behavior shifts over time.
Unlike traditional volume profiles that rely on fixed session boundaries or static anchors, this tool dynamically calculates and displays volume zones across both the upper and lower ends of a price range, revealing point-of-control (POC) levels, directional volume flow, and a fair value drift line that updates live with each candle.
You’re not just looking at volume anymore. You’re dissecting who’s in control — and at what price.
⚪ In simple terms:
Upper Zone = The upper portion of the price range, showing concentrated volume activity — typically where selling or distribution may occur
Lower Zone = The lower portion of the price range, highlighting areas of high volume — often associated with buying or accumulation
POC Bin = The bin (price level) with the highest traded volume in the zone — considered the most accepted price by the market
Fair Value Trend = A dynamic trend line tracking the average POC price over time — visualizing the evolving fair value
Zone Labels = Display real-time breakdown of buy/sell volume within each zone and inside the POC — revealing who’s in control
█ How It Works
⚪ Volume Zones
Upper Zone: Anchored at the highest high in the lookback period
Lower Zone: Anchored at the lowest low in the lookback period
Width is user-defined via % of range
Each zone is divided into a series of volume bins
⚪ Volume Bins (Histograms)
Each zone is split into N bins that show how much volume occurred at each level:
Taller = More volume
The POC bin (Point of Control) is highlighted
Labels show % of volume in the POC relative to the whole zone
⚪ Buy vs Sell Breakdown
Each volume bin is split by:
Buy Volume = Close ≥ Open
Sell Volume = Close < Open
The script accumulates these and displays total Buy/Sell volume per zone.
⚪ Fair Value Drift Line
A POC trend is plotted over time:
Represents where volume was most active across each range
Color changes dynamically — green for rising, red for falling
Serves as a real-time fair value anchor across changing market structure
█ How to Use
⚪ Identify Key Control Zones
Use Upper/Lower Zone structures to understand where supply and demand is building.
Zones automatically adapt to recent highs/lows and re-center volume accordingly.
⚪ Follow Institutional Activity
Watch for POC clustering near price tops or bottoms.
Large volumes near extremes may indicate accumulation or distribution.
⚪ Spot Fair Value Drift
The fair value trend line (average POC price) gives insight into market equilibrium.
One strategy can be to trade a re-test of the fair value trend, trades are taken in the direction of the current trend.
█ Understanding Buy & Sell Volume Labels (Zone Totals)
These labels show the total buy and sell volume accumulated within each zone over the selected lookback period:
Buy Vol (green label) → Total volume where candles closed bullish
Sell Vol (red label) → Total volume where candles closed bearish
Together, they tell you which side dominated:
Higher Buy Vol → Bullish accumulation zone
Higher Sell Vol → Bearish distribution zone
This gives a quick visual insight into who controlled the zone, helping you spot areas of demand or supply imbalance.
█ Understanding POC Volume Labels
The POC (Point of Control) represents the price level where the most volume occurred within the zone. These labels break down that volume into:
Buy % – How much of the volume was buying (price closed up)
Sell % – How much was selling (price closed down)
Total % – How much of the entire zone’s volume happened at the POC
Use it to spot strong demand or supply zones:
High Buy % + High Total % → Strong buying interest = likely support
High Sell % + High Total % → Strong selling pressure = likely resistance
It gives a deeper look into who was in control at the most important price level.
█ Why It’s Useful
Track where fair value is truly forming
Detect aggressive volume accumulation or dumping
Visually split buyer/seller control at the most relevant price levels
Adapt volume structures to current trend direction
█ Settings Explained
Lookback Period: Number of bars to scan for highs/lows. Higher = smoother zones, Lower = reactive.
Zone Width (% of Range): Controls how much of the range is used to define each zone. Higher = broader zones.
Bins per Zone: Number of volume slices per zone. Higher = more detail, but heavier on resources.

MM Day Trader LevelsAs an intraday trader, there are certain key levels that I care about for short-term price action on every single chart. When I first began day trading, each morning I would painstakingly mark those key levels off on the charts I planned to trade each day. Depending on the number of charts I was watching, this would take up quite a bit of my time that I felt would have been much better spent doing other things. It also meant that those levels would often be left behind, and on later days I might be trading a symbol and get confused when a line appeared and I'd be paying attention to it only to later discover that it wasn't from prior day, but from some other day in the past when I had marked it off.
I looked all over TradingView to find indicators that did this automatically for me, and I found a lot of them. One by one I tried them, and inevitably I would always find that something was wrong with them. Often they didn't have all of the levels I wanted (so I would have to combine multiple indicators), but more often I found that the levels would be incorrect, or they would be buggy and not appear consistently, or they would not appear at the right time, or they would not work on futures! The list of problems went on and on. And the biggest issue I found was that nobody knew how to get session volume profile in an indicator.
So, over the course of a few years I figured out how to solve all of those problems and now I'm thrilled to present this free indicator for everyone like me who trades intraday and wants a clean consistent way to see the prior day levels that they care about automatically on every single chart (even futures). The levels the indicator provides are:
Yesterday High & Low
Value Area High & Low & Point of Control
Today's Open
Yesterday's Close (aka "Settlement" on futures)
Premarket High & Low (non-futures only)
Overnight High & Low (futures only)
These levels are extremely important, and I expect price to be reactive to them, so each level has a shaded background behind it so that the levels stand out against other lines you may have on your chart. I try to keep configuration as simple as possible, but there are configuration options that allow you to:
Hide any of the levels
Change the color for the levels
Shade the value area (or not)
Change the label text, size, type (basic label or plain text) and location (how far to the right of last candle to place the label
Adjust session volume profile value area volume & number of rows
The biggest advantage to this indicator over others on TradingView is how it handles session volume profile. When it comes to futures, TradingView does differentiate between regular trading hours and "electronic" trading hours on the charts, but their timeframes for those sessions are unusual, and they do not provide any programmatic way to differentiate between them. So, I created a whole new library for dealing with futures sessions that is fully integrated into both my Session Volume Profile library and this indicator, allowing me to bring you the best and only custom indicator available on TradingView that provides you with true regular session volume profile information across every type of symbol, including futures.
I'm incredibly proud of everything I've been able to provide with this indicator, and even more thrilled to say that I'm proud of how the indicator has been implemented. Once again releasing this indicator and all associated code for free and open source. I encourage you to take a look at the source code to see how it all works, take advantage of the free underlying libraries I created to make all of this possible: Session Library and Session Volume Profile Library.
Volume Positive & Negative Levels [ChartPrime]Volume Positive & Negative Levels
Overview:
The Volume Positive & Negative Levels indicator by ChartPrime is designed to provide traders with a clear visualization of volume activity across different price levels. By plotting volume levels as histograms, this tool helps identify significant areas of buying (positive volume) and selling (negative volume) pressure, enhancing the ability to spot potential support and resistance zones.
Key Features:
⯁ Lookback Period:
- The `lookbackPeriod` parameter, set to 500 bars, determines the range over which the volume analysis is conducted, ensuring a comprehensive view of the market’s volume activity. The maximum lookback period is 500 bars or the bars currently visible on the chart, whichever is smaller.
⯁ Dynamic Volume Calculation:
- Volume is calculated dynamically based on the price action, with positive volume indicating buying pressure (close > open) and negative volume indicating selling pressure (close < open).
⯁ Color Coding for Clarity:
- Positive Volume: Represented with a distinct color (`#ad9a2c`), making it easy to identify areas of buying interest.
- Negative Volume: Highlighted with another color (`#ad2cad`), simplifying the detection of selling pressure.
Volume Threshold and Bins:
- The indicator allows users to set a volume threshold (`volume_level`) to highlight significant volume levels, with the default set at 70.
- The number of bins (`numBins`) defines the granularity of the volume profile, with a higher number providing more detail.
⯁ Volume Profile Visualization:
- The volume profile is plotted as a histogram, with the height of each bar proportional to the volume at that price level. This visualization helps in quickly assessing the strength of volume at various price points.
⯁ Interactive Labels and Threshold Indicators:
- Labels: The indicator uses labels to mark significant volume levels, providing quick reference points for traders.
- Threshold Lines: Lines are drawn at specified volume thresholds, with colors and widths dynamically adjusted based on the volume levels.
⯁ User Inputs:
- Volume Threshold (`volume_level`): Sets the minimum volume required to highlight significant levels.
- Number of Bins (`numBins`): Determines the resolution of the volume profile.
- Line Width (`line_withd`): Specifies the width of the lines used in the visualization.
The Volume Positive & Negative Levels indicator is a powerful tool for traders looking to gain deeper insights into market dynamics. By providing a clear visual representation of volume activity across different price levels, it helps traders identify key support and resistance zones, spot trends, and make more informed trading decisions. Whether you are a day trader or a swing trader, this indicator enhances your ability to analyze volume data effectively, improving your overall trading strategy.
TwV Market SignalsSignals Indicator
Summary
This indicator allows traders to have in handy short and long signals and estimate the trend of the market.
The indicator draws Long and Short signals depending on the trend analysis. The indicators also use meaningful colors for traders to be able to visually understand the graphs, such us fillings on EMAs, so the possible trend is represented.
The colors used are light green for bullish, red for bearish, dark green for possible bearish to bullish change and purple for possible bullish to bearish change. These colors are applicable to all fillings and summary box.
How to use this indicator
The use of EMAs 10,20 and 50 draw the medium to long term trends, therefore avoiding signals against the trend. Furthermore the EMAs will advise possible change in trends, specially considering the 10 and 20 cross, considering that crossing the 10,20 and 50, might confirm the change in med to long term trend change of the price. This is completely visual in the chart as it tints green for positive trend and yellow to red for negative trend.
The 200 SMA is included as it also gives better confirmation to the trend, the basics tell that when the EMAs mentioned above are below the 200 SMA then the likelihood for entries in long positions are not the best and vice versa for short.
Therefore, the trader shall filter Long and Short Signals accordingly as this EMAs are not used to send Long and Short signals considering that they confirm the trend in a slow pace and not reactively to the price volatility.
There are two strategies built-in within the indicator:
Strategy 1 – Longer time trades and high volatility handling
The Long and Short Signals are based on 14 and EMAs (by default). This two Mas are used to send signals based on their crossovers as they are way more reactive to the price movement.
Trader shall consider that EMAs are used for higher timeframes, therefore the indicator has the possibility to adjust the EMAs and use SMAs or WMAs instead for one or the two parameters (14 and 21).
WMAs react faster to the price volatility so the trader shall adjust this according to the timeframe being used. (Lower timeframes suggested).
This strategy is used for trades that might keep running for longer periods of times.
For reference on what the SMAs, EMAs and WMAs are, please see below sections in the description.
Strategy 2 - Shorter time trades and unhandled high volatility
The Long and Short Signals are bases on HMA. HMAs (Hull Moving Averages) track the price movement and volatility way faster that SMAs, EMAs and WMAs, therefore as the HMA follow the price quicker, it is intended for short time trades even in higher timeframes.
Scalping is not suggested using this strategy as HMA do not handle high volatility even on higher timeframes.
One of the biggest differences from the first strategy is that there is no more than a single HMA length to work with, which is 24 as default.
HMAs calculation is different to other MAs, therefore combining various HMAs lengths looking for crossovers become trend identification a lot less precise. HMAs are not intended to be used with different length crossovers.
Exit points = The use of Stochastic and VRVP
Stochastic RSI
It is well known that when Stochastic RSI resets when overbought or oversold therefore traders have within a summary box the possibility to check whether the K & D lines in the Stochastic RSI hace crossed over bullish or bearish.
Although the crossover is not mandatory for a change trend, the crossover might be used by the trader to exit a position considering that the price might move on the opposite direction.
Traders shall look at the summary box, where bullish and bearish crossovers are shown, so they evaluate their position exit.
Visible Range Volume Profile
The use of the VRVP is to find support and resistance on the price movements. Although high and lows are used as possible supports and resistances, VRVP shows an area of confluence on the order book, where volume of positions are accumulated and that might act as support or resistance depending on the price direction.
Traders can visually activate the VRVP to see the Point of Control (POC) directly on the chart as a line (similar as how a support or resistance would be drawn). Moreover, traders have the ability to see within the summary box, whether to see if the price is above or below the POC, so they clearly know if it is acting as support or resistance.
Price Direction
Trade the market trend is well know to be used to identify possible price direction. It is important not to confuse the longer time trend drawn by the EMAs with the TTM Trend bar color. The TTM trend colors bars according to the price direction, helping traders not to confuse when a red bar appears on an up trend or green bars on a down trend.
This coloring helps traders not to exit trades based on bar coloring, which might psychologically affect when scalping or short-term trading specially.
Originally, the TTM trend is used considering the ADX in and indicator called TTM Squeeze, where the strength of the movement is measured, therefore although candle colors help with the price direction, ADX provides the trader the ability to see whether the direction is losing momentum and then catch the best possible exit before the direction change.
How to use Summary
1. Receive the Long or Short Signals using strategy 1 or 2, depending on the selected in the main menu of the indicator.
2. Evaluate the trend based on the 10,20, 50 and 200 MAs. Filter the Long and Short signals accordingly.
3. Monitor constantly the TTM Trend and the ADX for the direction and strength of the position entered and review if the momentum is being lost, considering step 4 or other possible reasons that might lead to exiting the position.
4. Once entered to a position evaluate constantly the Stochastic RSI bearish or bullish crossover or POC value on screen or summary box to exit the position.
Terminology basics
Trend indicators
Exponential Moving Average (EMAs): The base indicator is composed of moving averages of 10, 20 and 55 exponential periods, to determine a possible bullish or bearish trend (EMA Crossing)
Simple Moving Average (SMA): The base indicator is composed of a moving average of 200 simple periods, which in conjunction with the EMAs can lead to estimate potential upward or downwards moves, as well as possible resistances. (SMA Positioning)
Weighted moving average (WMA): It is a technical indicator that traders use to generate trade direction and make a long or short position. It assigns greater weighting to recent data points and less weighting on past data points. (WMA Crossing)
Strength and S/R indicators
VPVR (Volume Profile Visible Range): It allows to determine the Point of Control (POC) which is the node with the highest volume profile. This can be used as an important retest point or to calculate potential support and resistance. The POC level is represented with a red dotted line in the graph.
The VPVR is a simplified version of the “TwV Multi-timeframe Dynamic VRVP” that you can find for free use in my profile. This version calculates the main’s timeframe POC and also has the possibility to be fixed range if the trader enables it from the menu. (Dynamic range by default).
ADX (Average Directional Index): The ADX helps the indicator to estimate the strength of the movement, always considering the DI+ and DI- to not go against the trend strength. This is represented as summary text in a table.
/
Exit indicator
Stochastic RSI: It is an indicator used in technical analysis that ranges between zero and a hundred and is created by applying the Stochastic oscillator formula to a set of relative strength index (RSI) values rather than to standard price data. Using RSI values within the Stochastic formula gives traders an idea of whether the current RSI value is overbought or oversold (Exit zones)
/
Summary Panel
This panel allows the trader to have a summary of the current status (bearish or bullish) of some of the most determinant indicators within the strategy. It has the following characteristics:
It is placed on the right bottom side of the chart by the default. Traders can change its position or hidden it through the main menu of the indicator.
Its colors change according to the indicator’s values and constant change for easier detection.
The summary box shows the projection for each of the indicators (Trend, Stochastic, EMA, VPVR and ADX).
The summary box is multi-language (English and Spanish), which can be changes in the main menu of the indicator
Alerts
Within the indicator’s menu, you can set up alerts for all long, short, close long and close short signals, which might come in handy when the trader would like to have notifications on the Trading View website, desktop app or phone apps. Furthermore, there are also signals for possible exit points, which can also be activated from the indicator’s menu.

Volume profile is a key study when comes to understanding the auction trading process. Volume Profiles will show you exactly how much volume, as well as relative volume, occurred at each price as well as the exact number of contracts for the entire session. It is a visualization tool to understand the high activity zone and low activity zone.
Volume profile measures the confidence of the traders in the market. From short term trading perspective monitoring the developing volume profile in realtime make more sense to track current market participation behavior to take better trading decisions.
Hope this helps you in trading on daily timeframe.
Happy Trading.
LIQUIDITY CASINOLIQUIDITY CASINO
This indicator visualizes price acceptance and rejection through volume concentration using a fixed-range volume profiling approach combined with directional volume imbalance.
The purpose of the script is contextual analysis rather than prediction. It is designed to identify price levels where meaningful participation has historically occurred and to observe how price behaves when those levels are revisited.
Core methodology
Fixed-range volume profiling
The script constructs a volume profile over a user-defined range, either interactively selected or specified by a fixed number of historical bars.
Within this range, price is divided into discrete bins and traded volume is accumulated per bin to form a distribution.
Uniqueness of approach
Unlike many volume profile, supply–demand, or support–resistance indicators, this script does not rely on fixed session boundaries, pivot detection, or price-only structure. Zones are derived exclusively from relative volume concentration within a user-defined range, then further filtered by directional volume imbalance and bin continuity. This combination allows zones to represent sustained participation and directional dominance rather than isolated highs, lows, or single-bar events. As a result, the indicator focuses on where price was accepted or rejected by participation, not simply where price happened to turn, which distinguishes it from traditional profile, pivot-based, or price-action-only tools commonly available on TradingView.
Zone qualification using relative volume
Each bin’s volume is evaluated relative to the average volume per bin in the selected range.
Only clusters of consecutive bins exceeding a relative volume threshold are merged into zones.
This approach reduces the influence of isolated volume spikes and focuses on sustained participation.
Directional bias classification
Qualified zones are further classified using directional volume imbalance:
Positive imbalance indicates demand-dominant participation (BIDS).
Negative imbalance indicates supply-dominant participation (ASKS).
Neutral imbalance indicates balanced participation (BALANCE).
This allows zones to reflect participation asymmetry, not just total traded volume.
Zone persistence and role reversal
Once identified, zones extend forward in time to act as reference levels.
If price fully breaks through a zone, the script automatically reclassifies it, reflecting the commonly observed behavior where prior demand can act as future supply, and vice versa.
Value Area and Point of Control
The script also calculates the Value Area High (VAH), Value Area Low (VAL), and Point of Control (POC) from the same fixed-range profile.
These levels provide additional context for price acceptance and balance within the analyzed range.
Signal logic
Signals are generated only after direct interaction with a qualified zone and are therefore reactive rather than predictive.
RECLAIM
Occurs when price trades into a demand-dominant zone and subsequently closes back above the zone boundary.
An optional EMA trend filter can be applied.
REJECT
Occurs when price trades into a supply-dominant zone and subsequently closes back below the zone boundary.
The same optional EMA trend filter may be used.
All signals depend on prior interaction with volume-defined structure.
Intended use
This script is designed to help traders:
Identify areas of high historical participation
Distinguish balanced from imbalanced price regions
Observe acceptance versus rejection behavior
Avoid operating in low-information areas of the chart
It may be applied to any market or timeframe where volume data is available.
Notes on design
Parameters are intentionally limited to reduce overfitting.
Calculations are range-dependent; adjusting the range changes the analytical context.
No future data is referenced.
No external data sources are required.

BK AK-Shock & Awe🏴☠️💣 BK AK–Shock & Awe 🏴☠️💣
All glory to G-d — the true source of wisdom, restraint, and right timing.
AK — every indicator I publish carries his standard: discipline, patience, clean execution.
Shock & Awe is not a signal generator.
It’s an order-flow pressure weapon: it turns CVD into a battlefield map so you can see who’s pushing, who’s trapped, and where the push is lying (divergence + confluence + session anchors + profile).
You don’t “predict” with this — you confirm, then execute.
🧠 What it does (big picture)
Shock & Awe builds a CVD command center with three jobs:
1) CVD Core (the heartbeat)
Computes cumulative delta proxy (up-candle volume minus down-candle volume)
Optional scaling (K/M) so instruments don’t blow out the pane
Multiple display modes: Line / Candles / Heikin Ashi / Line + HA
2) AK-9 Bands (stretch vs fair)
VWAP-style Bollinger envelope built on smoothed CVD
Classifies CVD into states: above upper / inside / below lower
Optional band visuals + fill
Gradient engine paints the CVD by slope strength (5-state regime)
3) Divergence Warfare (trap detection)
Regular + Hidden divergence engine using pivot structure
Auto-adapts lookbacks for futures/timeframes (fast charts don’t spam)
Optional lines + markers, with clean gating so only meaningful prints survive
🔥 Confluence System (prove it or ignore it)
Divergence alone is a rumor. Shock & Awe demands witnesses.
Confirms divergence using OBV + MACD histogram
Minimum indicator count required (1–3)
Optional rule: ONLY show divergences with confluence
Confluence badge logic so the chart stays readable
🔗 Signal Consolidation (zones, not confetti)
Markets don’t turn once — they hammer the same level.
Merges nearby signals into consolidated zones
Adds count + “super zone” badges (🔥 / 🔥🔥) when repeats stack up
Prevents label spam while emphasizing the real battlefield levels
📊 CVD Volume Profile (where the fight actually happened)
Not price profile — CVD participation profile.
Bins CVD into a profile, computes:
POC (highest participation node)
Value Area (~70%)
Purpose: identify magnet zones, acceptance, and “business done” areas
Adds a POC proximity bonus into score logic (when enabled)
🧱 Structure Anchors (daily/weekly rails)
Shock & Awe uses session anchors like lines in the sand:
Daily + Weekly CVD anchors
Optional extended-right anchor lines (stay active into the future)
Quick bias read:
Above daily/weekly = buyers controlling tape
Below = sellers controlling tape
⚠️ Background Flash (Shock Event Detector)
When CVD is stretched and structure says “this is serious,” it lights the room.
Dynamic intensity based on how far CVD is outside the AK-9 bands
“Major turning points only” mode with velocity filter + cooldown
Designed to call attention to critical moments, not entertain you
🤖 Smart Score + Strategic Info Box (battle briefing)
A single “readout” built from weighted evidence:
Trend/stack state, divergence, OBV/ADX alignment, session position, momentum (ROC), band position, ATR state, volume alignment, POC proximity
Outputs a compact status strip + optional detailed tooltip
This is the dashboard you check before you touch the trigger.
🧭 How to use it (execution doctrine)
Start with anchors
Daily/weekly rails tell you who owns the day. Don’t argue with the map.
Treat AK-9 bands as a stretch ruler
Outside bands = exaggeration. Inside bands = rotation risk.
Divergence is a warning — confluence is permission
If CVD screams but OBV/MACD don’t testify, stand down.
Trade zones, not single prints
Consolidation counts mark where the market keeps returning to settle a score.
Let price confirm
Shock & Awe identifies pressure and deception — price still has to prove acceptance/rejection at the rails.
🧱 Non-negotiable rule
This tool doesn’t make you right.
It makes you hard to fool.
Respect to AK — discipline, patience, clean execution.
All glory to G-d — the source of wisdom and endurance.
📜 Proverbs Lens (Deep Waters Doctrine — Proverbs 20:5)
“Counsel in the heart of man is deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.”
That’s Shock & Awe.
Price is the surface. CVD is the current underneath.
Most traders react to what splashes. The disciplined trader pulls meaning out of what’s submerged:
Divergence = something real is happening below the surface.
Confluence = the deep water is consistent — multiple witnesses.
Anchors + Profile = where the market has already done business and will test truth again.
So the mission isn’t to predict.
It’s to draw out the counsel — then act only when it comes up clean.

able bigtrades dom + liquidity sweep This Pine Script is a sophisticated **Order Flow and Liquidity analysis tool** designed for TradingView. It combines volume analysis, multi-exchange data, and price action to identify where institutional "whales" are entering the market.
Below is a detailed guide on how to interpret and use the **BigTrades DOM** indicator.
---
## 1. Core Concept: Big Trades Detection
Instead of looking at raw volume, this indicator uses **Z-Scores** (Standard Deviations). It compares current volume to the average of the last 30 bars (customizable).
* **Tier 1 (Small Circles):** Significant volume, slightly above average.
* **Tier 2 (Medium Circles):** High volume ( by default). These often act as local support/resistance.
* **Tier 3 (Large Circles):** Extreme volume. These represent institutional "Big Trades" that usually lead to trend reversals or major continuations.
---
## 2. Initiative (INIT) vs. Absorbed (ABS)
This is a powerful feature located in the **Confirmation** settings. It looks at what happens *after* a Tier 3 big trade occurs:
* **Initiative (Purple Circle `●`):** High volume occurs, and price **moves strongly** in that direction within bars. This confirms aggressive "Initiative" buying or selling.
* **Absorbed (Yellow Cross `✕`):** High volume occurs, but price **fails to move**. This indicates "Absorption"—where a large limit order (passive seller) is soaking up all the aggressive market buys, often leading to a reversal.
---
## 3. Liquidity Sweep Detection
The script tracks "Pivots" (old highs and lows) and watches for **Stop Runs**.
* **Bullish Sweep (LTL-SWEEP):** Price dips below a previous Low (Liquidity) but immediately closes back above it, usually accompanied by a Big Trade. This is a classic "Stop Hunt" before a move up.
* **Bearish Sweep (LTH-SWEEP):** Price spikes above a previous High but closes below it. This indicates "trapped longs" and potential downside.
* **Visuals:** The script draws a **Dotted Box** and a **Horizontal Line** to mark the swept liquidity zone.
---
## 4. The Mini DOM & Volume Profile
On the right side of your chart, you will see a real-time table:
* **Profile:** A visual histogram of volume distributed at specific price levels.
* **Bid/Ask:** Shows the estimated volume of sellers (Bid) and buyers (Ask) at those specific levels.
* **Delta (Δ):** The net difference. Green means more aggressive buyers; Red means more aggressive sellers.
* **Current Price:** Highlighted in Green to help you see where the "Value" is currently sitting.
---
## 5. Multi-Exchange Aggregation (Crypto Only)
If you are trading a crypto pair (e.g., BTCUSD), the script can fetch volume data from **Binance, Bybit, OKX, Coinbase, and Kraken** simultaneously.
> **Why it matters:** It gives you a "Global" view of volume. If you see a Big Trade on your chart, but the Multi-Exchange data shows high volume across all 5 exchanges, the signal is much more reliable.
---
## 6. How to Trade with this Indicator
### **Strategy A: The Liquidity Reversal**
1. Look for a **Liquidity Sweep** (LTL-SWEEP).
2. Wait for a **Big Trade (Tier 2 or 3)** to appear at the bottom of the sweep.
3. **Entry:** Long when the bar closes back above the sweep level.
4. **Target:** The opposite Liquidity High.
### **Strategy B: Following Initiative**
1. Wait for an **INIT (Purple Circle)** signal.
2. This confirms that the "Big Trade" has successfully pushed the market.
3. **Entry:** Enter in the direction of the INIT signal on the next pullback.
### **Strategy C: Fading Absorption**
1. Price reaches a resistance level.
2. An **ABS (Yellow Cross)** appears.
3. This means buyers are exhausted and being "absorbed" by a large seller.
4. **Entry:** Short on the break of the Absorption candle's low.
---
## 7. Recommended Settings
* **Sensitivity (Sigma):** Set to `2.5` for volatile markets (Crypto) or `2.0` for slower markets (Forex/Stocks).
* **Normalize by ATR:** Keep this **ON**. it ensures that "Big Trades" are calculated relative to current market volatility.
* **Require Big Trade (Sweep):** Keep this **ON** to filter out "fake" sweeps that don't have institutional backing.

Simulateur Carnet d'Ordres & Liquidité [Sese] - Custom🔹 Indicator Name
Order Book & Liquidity Simulator - Custom
🔹 Concept and Functionality
This indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to visually simulate market depth (Order Book) and potential liquidity zones.
It is important to adhere to TradingView's transparency rules: This script does not access real Level 2 data (the actual exchange order book). Instead, it uses a deductive algorithm based on historical Price Action to estimate where Buy Limit (Bid) and Sell Limit (Ask) orders might be resting.
Methodology used by the script:
Pivot Detection: The indicator scans for significant Swing Highs and Swing Lows over a user-defined lookback period (Length).
Level Projection: These pivots are projected to the right as horizontal lines.
Red Lines (Ask): Represent potential resistance zones (sellers).
Blue Lines (Bid): Represent potential support zones (buyers).
Liquidity Management (Absorption): The script is dynamic. If the current price crosses a line, the indicator assumes the liquidity at that level has been consumed (orders filled). The line is then automatically deleted from the chart.
Density Profile (Right Side): Horizontal bars appear to the right of the current price. These approximate a "Time Price Opportunity" or Volume Profile, showing where the market has spent the most time recently.
🔹 User Manual (Settings)
Here is how to configure the inputs to match your trading style:
1. Detection Algorithm
Lookback Length (Candles): Determines the sensitivity of the pivots.
Low value (e.g., 10): Shows many lines (scalping/short term).
High value (e.g., 50): Shows only major structural levels (swing trading).
Volume Factor: (Technical note: In this specific code version, this variable is calculated but the lines are primarily drawn based on geometric pivots).
2. Visual Settings
Show Price Lines (Bid/Ask): Toggles the horizontal Support/Resistance lines on or off.
Show Volume Profile: Toggles the heatmap-style bars on the right side of the chart.
Extend Lines: If checked, untouched lines will extend to the right towards the current price bar.
3. Colors and Transparency Management
Customize the aesthetics to keep your chart clean:
Bid / Ask Colors: Choose your base colors (Default is Blue and Red).
Line Transparency (%): Crucial for chart visibility.
0% = Solid, bright colors.
80-90% = Very subtle, faint lines (recommended if you overlay this on other tools).
Text Size: Adjusts the size of the price labels ("BUY LIMIT" / "SELL LIMIT").
🔹 How to Read the Indicator
Rejections: Unbroken lines act as potential walls. Watch for price reaction when approaching a blue line (support) or red line (resistance).
Breakouts/Absorption: When a line disappears, it means the level has been breached. The market may then seek the next liquidity level (the next line).
Density (Right-side boxes): More opaque/visible boxes indicate a price zone "accepted" by the market (consolidation). Empty gaps suggest an imbalance where price might move through quickly.

MRC Supply & Demand Zones by rnd🚀 MRC Supply & Demand Zones: Professional Reversal & Liquidity Detection
MRC Supply & Demand Zones is a premium hybrid trading tool combining two of the most powerful concepts in technical analysis: Mean Reversion and Volume Profile.
This indicator doesn’t just show arrows — it provides deep market context by defining dynamic volatility channels and hidden supply & demand zones based on real volume data from lower timeframes.
🔥 Key Features
1. MRC (Mean Reversion Channel)
At the core lies the SuperSmoother MA (SSMA) — a next-generation moving average that eliminates market noise significantly more effectively than standard SMAs or EMAs, while maintaining minimal lag.
Logic: Price always tends to return to its mean. The indicator constructs dynamic channels (Inner and Outer) around the SSMA based on volatility (True Range).
Signals:
Long (Buy): Price extends beyond the lower outer boundary (oversold) and closes back above it.
Short (Sell): Price extends beyond the upper outer boundary (overbought) and closes back below it.
2. Supply & Demand Zones
This is not just drawing levels based on simple highs and lows. The indicator utilizes Lower Timeframe (LTF) Data to construct a detailed volume profile inside the candles.
How it works: The algorithm scans history, identifies volume imbalances, and highlights zones where major players have shown significant interest.
Visualization: Automatically draws red (Supply) and blue (Demand) rectangles that act as price magnets and strong support/resistance levels.
⚙️ Settings Guide
🔹 Block: MRC Settings (Channel Settings)
Control signal sensitivity and channel width here.
Min Range %:
What: Sets the minimum channel width as a percentage of the current price.
Why: Prevents the channel from squeezing into a "thin line" during flat markets, filtering out false signals during low volatility.
Outer Multiplier:
Default: 1.9
Role: Defines the boundaries for "extreme" overbought/oversold conditions. Higher values result in fewer, but more accurate entry signals.
Inner Multiplier:
Default: 1.0
Role: Defines the boundaries of "normal" price oscillation. Often used as the first target for taking profits (Take Profit).
SSMA Length:
Default: 200
Role: The period of the main trend line. 200 is ideal for defining the long-term trend and the global "center" of price.
Source:
Default: hlc3 (High+Low+Close / 3).
Role: The price data used for calculations.
🔹 Block: Supply & Demand Zones
Controls the liquidity search algorithm.
Supply & Demand Zones (On/Off): Toggle the display of the rectangular zones.
Threshold %: Defines how "significant" the volume must be. Adjusts the filtering of weak zones.
Supply/Demand Zones Color: Select the color and opacity for seller and buyer zones.
Profile Lookback Range:
Fixed Range: Analyzes a fixed number of recent bars.
Visible Range: Analyzes only the bars currently visible on the screen.
Lookback Length: The depth of history (number of bars) for volume analysis (works in Fixed Range mode).
Profile Number of Rows: Profile resolution. Higher numbers result in more detailed and narrower zones.
🔔 Alert System
You will never miss an entry. The indicator includes built-in conditions for creating alerts:
Long Signal: Triggers on a green triangle (upward reversal from the lower boundary).
Short Signal: Triggers on a red triangle (downward reversal from the upper boundary).
💡 Why use this indicator?
This is a ready-made "all-in-one" trading strategy. You get the trend (SSMA), volatility (MRC), and liquidity levels (S&D) in one compact script. It is perfect for scalping and day trading on any asset (Crypto, Forex, Stocks).
Volume Area 80 Rule Pro - Adaptive RTHSummary in one paragraph
Adaptive value area 80 percent rule for index futures large cap equities liquid crypto and major FX on intraday timeframes. It focuses activity only when multiple context gates align. It is original because the classic prior day value area traverse is fused with a daily regime classifier that remaps the operating parameters in real time.
Scope and intent
• Markets. ES NQ SPY QQQ large cap equities BTC ETH major FX pairs and other liquid RTH instruments
• Timeframes. One minute to one hour with daily regime context
• Default demo used in the publication. ES1 on five minutes
• Purpose. Trade only the balanced days where the 80 percent traverse has edge while standing aside or tightening rules during trend or shock
Originality and usefulness
• Unique fusion. Prior day value area logic plus a rolling daily regime classifier using percentile ranks of realized volatility and ADX. The regime remaps hold time end of window stop buffer and value area coverage on each session
• Failure mode addressed. False starts during strong trend or shock sessions and weak traverses during quiet grind
• Testability. All gates are visible in Inputs and debug flags can be plotted so users can verify why a suggestion appears
• Portable yardstick. The regime uses ATR divided by close and ADX percent ranks which behave consistently across symbols
Method overview in plain language
The script builds the prior session profile during regular trading hours. At the first regular bar it freezes yesterday value area low value area high and point of control. It then evaluates the current session open location the first thirty minute volume rank the open gap rank and an opening drive test. In parallel a daily series classifies context into Calm Balance Trend or Shock from rolling percentile ranks of realized volatility and ADX. The classifier scales the rules. Calm uses longer holds and a slightly wider value area. Trend and Shock shorten the window reduce holds and enlarge stop buffers.
Base measures
• Range basis. True Range smoothed over a configurable length on both the daily and intraday series
• Return basis. Not required. ATR over close is the unit for regime strength
Components
• Prior Value Area Engine. Builds yesterday value area low value area high and point of control from a binned volume profile with automatic TPO fallback and minimum integrity guards
• Opening Location. Detects whether the session opens above the prior value area or below it
• Inside Hold Counter. Counts consecutive bars that hold inside the value area after a re entry
• Volume Gate. Percentile of the first thirty minutes volume over a rolling sample
• Gap Gate. Percentile rank of the regular session open gap over a rolling sample
• Drive Gate. Opening drive check using a multiple of intraday ATR
• Regime Classifier. Percentile ranks of daily ATR over close and daily ADX classify Calm Balance Trend Shock and remap parameters
• Session windows optional. Windows follow the chart exchange time
Fusion rule
Minimum satisfied gates approach. A re entry must hold inside the value area for a regime scaled number of bars while the volume gap and drive gates allow the setup. The regime simultaneously scales value area coverage end minute time stop and stop buffer.
Signal rule
• Long suggestion appears when price opens below yesterday value area then re enters and holds for the required bars while all gates allow the setup
• Short suggestion appears when price opens above yesterday value area then re enters and holds for the required bars while all gates allow the setup
• WAIT shows implicitly when any required gate is missing
• Exit labels mark target touch stop touch or a time based close
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Signal timeframe. Uses the chart by default
• Session windows optional. Start and end minutes inside regular trading hours
• Invert direction is not used. The logic is symmetric
Logic
• Hold bars inside value area. Typical range 3 to 12. Raising it reduces trades and favors better traverses. Lowering it increases frequency and risk of false starts
• Earliest minute since RTH open and Latest minute since RTH open. Typical range 0 to 390. Reducing the latest minute cuts late session trades
• Time stop bars after entry. Typical range 6 to 30. Larger values give setups more room
Filters
• Value area coverage. Typical range 0.70 to 0.85. Higher coverage narrows the traverse but accepts fewer days
• Bin size in ticks. Typical range 1 to 8. Larger bins stabilize noisy profiles
• Stop buffer ticks beyond edge. Typical range 2 to 20. Larger buffers survive noise
• First thirty minute volume percentile. Typical range 0.30 to 0.70. Higher values require more active opens
• Gap filter percentile. Typical range 0.70 to 0.95. Lower values block more gap days
• Opening drive multiple and bars. Higher multiple or longer bars block strong directional opens
Adaptivity
• Lookback days for regime ranks. Typical 150 to 500
• Calm RV percentile. Typical 25 to 45
• Trend ADX percentile. Typical 55 to 75
• Shock RV percentile. Typical 75 to 90
• End minute ratio in Trend and Shock. Typical 0.5 to 0.8
• Hold and Time stop scales per regime. Use values near one to keep behavior close to static settings
Realism and responsible publication
• No performance claims. Past results never guarantee future outcomes
• Shapes can move while a bar forms and settle on close
• Sessions use the chart exchange time
Honest limitations and failure modes
• Economic releases and thin liquidity can break the balance premise
• Gap heavy symbols may work better with stronger gap filters and a True Range focus
• Very quiet regimes reduce signal contrast. Consider longer windows or higher thresholds

X rVPoCOverview
The rVPoC indicator isolates and displays the Volume Point of Control — the price level within a chosen lookback window that has accumulated the highest traded volume.
Unlike typical volume profiles that analyze an entire session or day, this version is designed for rolling intraday precision. It continually updates the VPoC using data from a lower “zoomed-in” timeframe (e.g., 1-minute) to refine accuracy, even when viewed on higher-timeframe charts.
How It Works
At its core, the indicator “zooms in” via Pine Script’s multi-timeframe engine:
Lower timeframe aggregation:
A secondary (zoomed) timeframe — by default 1-minute — is used to pull detailed OHLCV data through request.security().
Rolling window analysis:
The user-defined bars_per_current parameter determines how many of those lower-timeframe bars to include (e.g., 15 → a 15-minute rolling window).
Volume binning:
The high-to-low range of that window is divided into evenly spaced price bins (vp_price_levels). Each bin accumulates the volume of trades overlapping its range.
Point of Control selection:
The bin with the greatest accumulated volume is located, and its volume-weighted midpoint is plotted as the VPoC.
Visual output:
Discrete line-break markers are plotted for each bar, preventing the “connecting line” distortions common in continuous plots.
Use Case
This indicator is ideal for intraday traders who want to:
Track how the most active traded price shifts over time.
Identify short-term value zones forming within a 15-minute (or custom) rolling range.
Observe micro-structure behavior during developing sessions without committing to full volume profile tools.
Overlay a lightweight VPoC on top of other tools such as open-range or VWAP-based frameworks.
It is particularly effective on 1-minute and 5-minute charts, providing a granular yet efficient measure of volume concentration that updates bar-by-bar.
Summary
The VPoC indicator delivers a continuously updating micro-profile of where trading volume is most active within a chosen intraday window.
It’s designed to complement range, VWAP, and order-flow analysis by highlighting evolving value zones without visual clutter or session-anchoring logic.
Traders can interpret shifts in the VPoC as changes in short-term control — where buyers or sellers are concentrating their activity within the evolving price structure.
Smart MTF S/R Levels[BullByte]
Smart MTF S/R Levels
Introduction & Motivation
Support and Resistance (S/R) levels are the backbone of technical analysis. However, most traders face two major challenges:
Manual S/R Marking: Drawing S/R levels by hand is time-consuming, subjective, and often inconsistent.
Multi-Timeframe Blind Spots: Key S/R levels from higher or lower timeframes are often missed, leading to surprise reversals or missed opportunities.
Smart MTF S/R Levels was created to solve these problems. It is a fully automated, multi-timeframe, multi-method S/R detection and visualization tool, designed to give traders a complete, objective, and actionable view of the market’s most important price zones.
What Makes This Indicator Unique?
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Simultaneously analyzes up to three user-selected timeframes, ensuring you never miss a critical S/R level from any timeframe.
Multi-Method Confluence: Integrates several respected S/R detection methods—Swings, Pivots, Fibonacci, Order Blocks, and Volume Profile—into a single, unified system.
Zone Clustering: Automatically merges nearby levels into “zones” to reduce clutter and highlight areas of true market consensus.
Confluence Scoring: Each zone is scored by the number of methods and timeframes in agreement, helping you instantly spot the most significant S/R areas.
Reaction Counting: Tracks how many times price has recently interacted with each zone, providing a real-world measure of its importance.
Customizable Dashboard: A real-time, on-chart table summarizes all key S/R zones, their origins, confluence, and proximity to price.
Smart Alerts: Get notified when price approaches high-confluence zones, so you never miss a critical trading opportunity.
Why Should a Trader Use This?
Objectivity: Removes subjectivity from S/R analysis by using algorithmic detection and clustering.
Efficiency: Saves hours of manual charting and reduces analysis fatigue.
Comprehensiveness: Ensures you are always aware of the most relevant S/R zones, regardless of your trading timeframe.
Actionability: The dashboard and alerts make it easy to act on the most important levels, improving trade timing and risk management.
Adaptability: Works for all asset classes (stocks, forex, crypto, futures) and all trading styles (scalping, swing, position).
The Gap This Indicator Fills
Most S/R indicators focus on a single method or timeframe, leading to incomplete analysis. Manual S/R marking is error-prone and inconsistent. This indicator fills the gap by:
Automating S/R detection across multiple timeframes and methods
Objectively scoring and ranking zones by confluence and reaction
Presenting all this information in a clear, actionable dashboard
How Does It Work? (Technical Logic)
1. Level Detection
For each selected timeframe, the script detects S/R levels using:
SW (Swing High/Low): Recent price pivots where reversals occurred.
Pivot: Classic floor trader pivots (P, S1, R1).
Fib (Fibonacci): Key retracement levels (0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786) over the last 50 bars.
Bull OB / Bear OB: Institutional price zones based on bullish/bearish engulfing patterns.
VWAP / POC: Volume Weighted Average Price and Point of Control over the last 50 bars.
2. Level Clustering
Levels within a user-defined % distance are merged into a single “zone.”
Each zone records which methods and timeframes contributed to it.
3. Confluence & Reaction Scoring
Confluence: The number of unique methods/timeframes in agreement for a zone.
Reactions: The number of times price has touched or reversed at the zone in the recent past (user-defined lookback).
4. Filtering & Sorting
Only zones within a user-defined % of the current price are shown (to focus on actionable areas).
Zones can be sorted by confluence, reaction count, or proximity to price.
5. Visualization
Zones: Shaded boxes on the chart (green for support, red for resistance, blue for mixed).
Lines: Mark the exact level of each zone.
Labels: Show level, methods by timeframe (e.g., 15m (3 SW), 30m (1 VWAP)), and (if applicable) Fibonacci ratios.
Dashboard Table: Lists all nearby zones with full details.
6. Alerts
Optional alerts trigger when price approaches a zone with confluence above a user-set threshold.

These abbreviations appear in the dashboard and chart labels for clarity.
Example: How to Read the Dashboard and Labels (from the chart above)
Suppose you are trading BTCUSDT on a 15-minute chart. The dashboard at the top right shows several S/R zones, each with a breakdown of which timeframes and methods contributed to their detection:
Resistance zone at 119257.11:
The dashboard shows:
5m (1 SW), 15m (2 SW), 1h (3 SW)
This means the level 119257.11 was identified as a resistance zone by one swing high (SW) on the 5-minute timeframe, two swing highs on the 15-minute timeframe, and three swing highs on the 1-hour timeframe. The confluence score is 6 (total number of method/timeframe hits), and there has been 1 recent price reaction at this level. This suggests 119257.11 is a strong resistance zone, confirmed by multiple swing highs across all selected timeframes.
Mixed zone at 118767.97:
The dashboard shows:
5m (2 SW), 15m (2 SW)
This means the level 118767.97 was identified by two swing points on both the 5-minute and 15-minute timeframes. The confluence score is 4, and there have been 19 recent price reactions at this level, indicating it is a highly reactive zone.
Support zone at 117411.35:
The dashboard shows:
5m (2 SW), 1h (2 SW)
This means the level 117411.35 was identified as a support zone by two swing lows on the 5-minute timeframe and two swing lows on the 1-hour timeframe. The confluence score is 4, and there have been 2 recent price reactions at this level.
Mixed zone at 118291.45:
The dashboard shows:
15m (1 SW, 1 VWAP), 5m (1 VWAP), 1h (1 VWAP)
This means the level 118291.45 was identified by a swing and VWAP on the 15-minute timeframe, and by VWAP on both the 5-minute and 1-hour timeframes. The confluence score is 4, and there have been 12 recent price reactions at this level.
Support zone at 117103.10:
The dashboard shows:
15m (1 SW), 1h (1 SW)
This means the level 117103.10 was identified by a single swing low on both the 15-minute and 1-hour timeframes. The confluence score is 2, and there have been no recent price reactions at this level.
Resistance zone at 117899.33:
The dashboard shows:
5m (1 SW)
This means the level 117899.33 was identified by a single swing high on the 5-minute timeframe. The confluence score is 1, and there have been no recent price reactions at this level.
How to use this:
Zones with higher confluence (more methods and timeframes in agreement) and more recent reactions are generally more significant. For example, the resistance at 119257.11 is much stronger than the resistance at 117899.33, and the mixed zone at 118767.97 has shown the most recent price reactions, making it a key area to watch for potential reversals or breakouts.
Tip:
“SW” stands for Swing High/Low, and “VWAP” stands for Volume Weighted Average Price.
The format 15m (2 SW) means two swing points were detected on the 15-minute timeframe.
Best Practices & Recommendations
Use with Other Tools: This indicator is most powerful when combined with your own price action analysis and risk management.
Adjust Settings: Experiment with timeframes, clustering, and methods to suit your trading style and the asset’s volatility.
Watch for High Confluence: Zones with higher confluence and more reactions are generally more significant.
Limitations
No Future Prediction: The indicator does not predict future price movement; it highlights areas where price is statistically more likely to react.
Not a Standalone System: Should be used as part of a broader trading plan.
Historical Data: Reaction counts are based on historical price action and may not always repeat.

Volume Footprint POC for Every CandleCalculating and plotting the Point of Control (POC) for every candle on a volume footprint chart can provide valuable insights for traders. Here are some interpretations and uses of this information:
1. Identify Key Price Levels
Highest Traded Volume: The POC represents the price level with the highest traded volume for each candle. This level often acts as a significant support or resistance level.
Confluence Zones: When multiple POCs align at similar price levels over several candles, it indicates strong support or resistance zones.
2. Gauge Market Sentiment
Buyer and Seller Activity: High volume at certain price levels can indicate where buyers and sellers are most active. A rising POC suggests stronger buying activity, while a falling POC suggests stronger selling activity.
Volume Profile: Analyzing the volume profile helps in understanding the distribution of traded volume across different price levels, providing insights into market sentiment and potential reversals.
3. Spot Trends and Reversals
Trend Continuation: Consistent upward or downward shifts in POC levels can indicate a trend continuation. Traders can use this information to stay in trending positions.
Reversal Signals: A sudden change in the POC direction may signal a potential reversal. This can be used to take profits or enter new positions.
4. Intraday Trading Strategies
Short-Term Trading: Intraday traders can use the POC to make informed decisions on entry and exit points. For example, buying near the POC during an uptrend or selling near the POC during a downtrend.
Scalping Opportunities: High-frequency traders can use shifts in the POC to scalp small profits from price movements around these key levels.
5. Volume-Based Indicators
Confirmation of Other Indicators: The POC can be used in conjunction with other technical indicators (e.g., moving averages, RSI) to confirm signals and improve trading accuracy.
Support and Resistance: Combining the POC with traditional support and resistance levels can provide a more comprehensive view of the market dynamics.
In summary, the Point of Control (POC) is a valuable tool for traders to understand market behavior, identify key levels, and make more informed trading decisions. If you have specific questions or need further details on how to use this information in your trading strategy, feel free to ask! 😊
Hybrid Profile [DW]This is an experimental study inspired by J. Peter Steidlmayer's Market Profile tool with an alternative set of calculations for analyzing price action and distribution over a defined interval.
This tool is geared toward finding price reactive points for better entry and exit positions.
In this script, price range over a user defined interval (up to 4000 bars) is divided into 50 sections, then TPOs are counted for each section to generate the distribution histogram. Histogram lines are calculated in real time, and recalculate on each new bar.
Areas of significance are displayed as purple lines in the histogram, making it incredibly simple to identify levels that price will likely react to. The significance sensitivity can be manually adjusted for desired output.
Rather than using POC, I created a series of proprietary calculations to generate what I call the Point Of Focus (POF). This line is similar to POC, but does not always follow the highest count in the distribution.
The POF is designed to experience less whipsaws than POC, which makes trading using the POF much simpler since its value is more consistent. On historical data, price has shown to either revert to or launch from the POF rather frequently.
Unlike a conventional Market Profile, this profile doesn't have a "value area". Instead it has a Mean Value Zone, which is calculated using a series of custom VWAP calculations. The output is similar to VA, but much smoother.
This script has a built in tick volume substitution for charts with no real volume data, making all elements of the script compatible with any cryptocurrency, stock, currency pair, or index you want to analyze.
A bar color scheme is included within this script which can be used to help determine dominant trend and local extremes of the interval.
This tool is not necessarily better or worse than the classic Market Profile, nor is it a replacement for Volume Profile.
However, this is a powerful alternative that can both simplify and improve your technical analysis.
