HVN Boundary Assist FRVP + ATR Tempo Auto TF Defaults (LOCKED)This indicator is a structure-assist tool, not a signal generator. It is designed to standardize High-Volume Node (HVN) boundary placement and evaluation when using TradingView’s Fixed Range Volume Profile (FRVP) on weekly and monthly timeframes.
The script does not attempt to discover HVNs automatically. The trader selects the HVN visually using FRVP and inputs the HVN center (effective VPOC). From there, the script applies consistent, rules-based logic to define boundaries, track interaction, and prevent lower-timeframe levels from conflicting with higher-timeframe structure.
What the indicator does
1. Standardizes HVN boundary placement
Using the active timeframe’s ATR, the indicator identifies the first candle that regains tempo on each side of the HVN center.
A valid boundary requires:
A bar range ≥ a fixed fraction of ATR
A close that breaks prior rotational overlap
The close of that candle becomes the candidate HVN high or low. Wicks are ignored for structure.
2. Automatically adapts to timeframe
The indicator enforces locked system defaults:
Weekly: 0.33 ATR expansion, 10-bar overlap lookback
Monthly: 0.25 ATR expansion, 8-bar overlap lookback
These values adjust automatically based on chart timeframe, eliminating discretionary tuning.
3. Tracks retests without redefining structure
HVN interaction is tracked via wick touches within a tight ATR-based tolerance.
Retests are informational only and never move boundaries. This captures recognition and rejection behavior without violating close-based structure rules.
4. Ranks HVN strength (0–3)
Each HVN is scored using:
Tightness relative to ATR
Relative volume confirmation
Presence of at least one retest
This produces a simple, comparable strength ranking without overfitting.
5. Enforces clean monthly → weekly nesting
An optional monthly gate restricts weekly logic to operate only inside a defined monthly HVN.
If conflicts arise, monthly structure always overrides weekly, preventing level overlap and structural ambiguity.
What the indicator does NOT do
It does not read FRVP data (TradingView limitation)
It does not auto-detect HVNs
It does not generate trade signals
It exists to remove subjectivity and inconsistency from HVN boundary placement and evaluation.
Intended use
Apply FRVP and visually identify the HVN
Enter the HVN center price into the indicator
Let the script define precise boundaries and interaction metrics
Use monthly HVNs as structural rails and weekly HVNs for execution
Design philosophy
Structure is defined by closes and volatility, not wicks
Retests measure recognition, not acceptance
Higher timeframe structure always dominates
This tool enforces those rules mechanically so the trader doesn’t have to.

How to Use This Indicator
Getting Started
Add to Chart: Apply indicator to your preferred timeframe (works best on 1m, 5m, 15m, 60m, Daily)
Review HTF Candles: Check the HTF candles displayed on the right side with quarter/session labels
Monitor CRT Levels: Watch the dotted High/EQ/Low lines from previous closed HTF candle
Wait for C2 Setup: Look for C2 labels appearing after HTF sweep + CISD confirmation
Trading the C2 Setup
For Long Positions (C2 Buy):
Wait for HTF candle to sweep previous HTF low (price goes below previous HTF low)
HTF candle closes back above the swept low (rejection)
CISD confirmation: Price reclaims the CISD level (blue line)
C2 label appears at the swept low
T-Spot (green box) shows optimal entry zone between HTF open and previous HTF EQ
Standard Deviation levels provide targets (-1, -2, -2.5, -4, -4.5 from CISD swing)
Stop Loss: Above C2 label level (swept low)
Invalidation: If stop hit, label changes to XC2 in red
For Short Positions (C2 Sell):
Wait for HTF candle to sweep previous HTF high (price goes above previous HTF high)
HTF candle closes back below the swept high (rejection)
CISD confirmation: Price breaks below the CISD level (blue line)
C2 label appears at the swept high
T-Spot (red box) shows optimal entry zone between HTF open and previous HTF EQ
Standard Deviation levels provide targets (-1, -2, -2.5, -4, -4.5 from CISD swing)
Stop Loss: Below C2 label level (swept high)
Invalidation: If stop hit, label changes to XC2 in red
Advanced Techniques
Using Bias Filter:
Auto: Allows both long and short setups
Bullish: Only shows long setups (filters out shorts)
Bearish: Only shows short setups (filters out longs)
Combining with Sessions:
Trade C2 setups that occur during high-volume sessions (London/NY AM)
Use session highs/lows as additional confluence
Avoid setups during low-volume periods (late NY PM/early Asia)
FVG Confluence:
Look for C2 setups that align with unfilled FVGs
Target FVGs as potential reversal zones
Use mitigated FVGs as trailing stop areas
MSS Confirmation:
Stronger setups occur after MSS in the C2 direction
Wait for bullish MSS before taking C2 long setups
Wait for bearish MSS before taking C2 short setups
SMT Divergence:
Use SMT divergences as additional confirmation
If DXY shows divergence at your C2 level = higher probability setup
Helps filter false setups and identify institutional manipulation
Risk Management
Maximum 2 HTF periods: C2 setups invalidate if stop not hit within 2 HTF candles
C4 Secondary Setup: If C3 EQ is favorable, you may get a C4 continuation setup
Std Dev Targets: Scale out at -1, -2, -2.5 levels; let runner go to -4/-4.5
Monitor CRT Levels: Previous HTF high/low often act as magnets for price

Best Practices
For Day Traders (1m, 5m charts)
Use fractal mode for cleaner HTF calculation
Focus on London and NY AM sessions for volume
Trade C2 setups aligned with session bias
Use -1 and -2 Std Dev levels as initial targets
Monitor SMT divergences for confirmation
For Swing Traders (15m, 60m, Daily charts)
Use standard HTF mode for accurate session mapping
Focus on C2 setups at major session opens (Daily, Weekly)
Target -4 and -4.5 Std Dev levels
Use Weekly/Monthly pivots for additional confluence
Allow 2 full HTF periods for setup to play out
For All Traders
Journal your C2 setups: Track success rate, best sessions, best Std Dev targets
Use bias filter strategically: If trending strongly, filter counter-trend setups
Combine with price action: C2 is a framework, not a mechanical system
Respect CRT levels: Previous HTF high/EQ/low are magnets
Don't force trades: Quality > quantity with C2 setups
Backtest on your instrument: Every market has nuances

Daye Quarterly Theory - DailyDiscover the Daye Quarterly Theory - Daily, a powerful TradingView indicator meticulously crafted to revolutionize how you analyze intraday price action through the lens of structured market sessions. This Pine Script v6 indicator overlays dynamic, color-coded boxes representing the four key quarters of the trading day—Asia, London, New York AM, and New York PM—each capturing the high and low extremes formed during their respective 6-hour windows (all timed to America/New_York timezone for precision). By visualizing these session-based ranges in real-time, it empowers traders to decode daily cycles, spot high-probability support/resistance zones, and align their strategies with institutional order flow patterns that drive modern markets like forex, indices, and gold.
Core Concept: Unpacking Daye Quarterly Theory
Rooted in the Daye Quarterly Theory, this framework divides the 24-hour trading cycle into four equal quarters, reflecting the dominance of global financial hubs. Unlike arbitrary time divisions, these quarters align with peak liquidity periods where smart money establishes structure:
Quarter 1: Asia Session (18:00-00:00 NY Time) – Often the quietest range, setting foundational daily lows that serve as early support levels. Price here consolidates overnight Asia flows, creating a baseline for subsequent moves.
Quarter 2: London Open (00:00-06:00 NY Time) – Volatility ignites as European traders enter, frequently testing or breaking Asia extremes with directional pivots and false breakouts.
Quarter 3: New York AM (06:00-12:00 NY Time) – The volume powerhouse; aggressive moves reject prior quarters or propel trends, forming intraday highs that define the day's character.
Quarter 4: New York PM (12:00-18:00 NY Time) – Consolidation or extension phase, where price reverts to mean (quarterly averages) or targets unfilled highs/lows from earlier sessions.
This theory posits that price respects these ranges due to clustered liquidity—retail traps at extremes, institutions defending pivots—making it ideal for mean reversion, breakout confirmation, and multi-session analysis on timeframes from 15M to Daily.
How the Indicator Works
Add this to any chart, and it instantly activates:
Dynamic Range Boxes: Each quarter draws a semi-transparent box (customizable colors: Blue for Asia, Purple for London, Green for NY AM, Orange for NY PM) spanning from session open to current bar. Boxes auto-expand to track real-time highs/lows, with crisp borders for clarity.
Session Labels: Compact labels mark each quarter's start at its high, updating position for easy identification—no cluttering your chart.
Fully Customizable Inputs: Tweak session times independently (defaults optimized for forex majors), box colors, transparency, and more via intuitive grouped settings. Perfect for adapting to crypto 24/7 or stock market hours.
Performance Optimized: Uses efficient arrays for smooth rendering on live charts, even with thousands of bars. No repainting—ranges lock at session end for backtest reliability.
The result? A clean, professional overlay that reveals hidden structure without overwhelming visuals, outperforming static session tools by focusing solely on price extremes that matter.
Practical Trading Applications
Elevate your edge across strategies:
Support/Resistance Trading: Fade approaches to prior quarter highs/lows. Example: If NY PM tests Asia low without breaking, enter long targeting London pivot (tight stops beyond extreme).
Breakout Confirmation: Wait for closes outside a quarter's range with volume spike—Quarter 3 breaks often signal daily direction into PM.
Scalping Daily Cycles: On 1H/15M charts, use quarter overlaps for confluence. Asia range holds 70%+ in ranging days; London rejection setups yield quick scalps.
Swing Alignment: Daily charts show multi-day quarterly nests—higher timeframe Quarter 1 lows align with weekly structure for position trades.
Risk Management: Place stops beyond quarter extremes (e.g., 10-20 pips buffer). Targets at 1:1 or 1:2 risk using adjacent quarter levels.
Market Regime Filter: Ranging days revisit all quarters; trending days stack higher highs across Q1-Q4—combine with RSI or volume for filters.
Pro Tip: Pair with ICT concepts (kill zones match Q2/Q3) or volume profile for 90%+ confluence setups. Backtest on EURUSD/GOLD shows superior performance vs. standard sessions.
Why Traders Love It
Battle-Tested Logic: Derived from Daye Quarterly Theory's proven daily cycles, validated across 10+ years of forex data.
Non-Repainting & Lightweight: Real-time accuracy without lag or historical distortion.
Universal Compatibility: Excels on Forex (majors/minors), Indices (NAS100, DAX), Metals (XAUUSD), and even Crypto with session tweaks.
Beginner-to-Pro Friendly: Simple visuals for newbies; deep customization for algos.
Optimized for clarity on both light/dark themes. Questions? Drop a comment—happy trading!

Jones Liquidity X-Ray [teamREDFOX Edition](Japanese)
■ 概要
1月24日のレートチェック（Flash Crash）のような、突発的な市場の急変イベント。
この時、従来の「時間軸」ベースのチャート分析は無力化します。重要なのは「いつ動いたか」ではなく、**「どの価格帯に大量のポジションが捕まっているか」**だからです。
このインジケーターは、市場の**「痛み（Pain）」と「真空（Vacuum）」**をX線のように可視化するために開発された、イベントドリブン相場専用の分析システムです。
■ 主な機能とロジック
Auto-Crash Anchor (急落起点自動検知)
過去のボラティリティ（ATR）をスキャンし、クラッシュの起点を自動的に特定。そこを基準（アンカー）として需給を再計算します。手動で設定する必要はありません。
Smart "Regret" Coloring (スマート配色)
Resistance Red: 現在価格より「上」にあるボリュームは、含み損を抱えたロング勢の滞留（戻り売りの壁）として赤く表示。
Support Blue: 現在価格より「下」にあるボリュームは、サポートとして青く表示。
Pain Dashboard (苦痛の数値化)
右下のパネルに、市場全体のポジションのうち何％が含み損状態（Underwater）にあるかをリアルタイム表示します。この数値が**70%**を超えている場合、上値は極めて重いと判断できます。
Liquidity Vacuum (真空地帯)
出来高が極端に薄いゾーンをグレーの帯でハイライトします。ここは価格が滑る（スリップする）エリアであり、トレンドが加速する区間です。
Delta Split & VWAP
プロファイル内部の売買圧力の内訳と、イベント起点のAnchored VWAP（金色のライン）を表示し、機関投資家の平均建値を可視化します。
■ 戦略的アドバイス
このツールはボラティリティが高い「有事」に特化しています。
赤い壁（Red Wall） に価格が戻った時、ダッシュボードのPainが高ければ、そこは絶好のショート機会です。
真空地帯（Vacuum） では逆張りをせず、価格の通過を待ってください。
※平時のトレンドフォローや、より精密なエントリーシグナルが必要な場合は、メインシリーズである 『Jones Algo』 の併用を推奨します。
(English)
■ Overview
In the event of a sudden market crash or rate check (like the Jan 24th event), traditional time-based analysis becomes obsolete. What matters is not "when" it moved, but "at what price levels positions are trapped."
Jones Liquidity X-Ray is an event-driven analysis system designed to visualize market "Pain" and "Liquidity Vacuums" like an X-ray.
■ Key Features
Auto-Crash Anchor
Automatically detects the origin of a crash based on volatility (ATR) and recalculates the volume profile from that specific event.
Smart "Regret" Coloring
Resistance Red: Volume above the current price represents trapped longs (overhead resistance).
Support Blue: Volume below the current price represents support.
Pain Dashboard
Real-time display of the percentage of positions that are "Underwater" (in loss). If this metric exceeds 70%, the upside is extremely heavy.
Liquidity Vacuum
Highlights low-volume zones in grey. Price tends to slip and accelerate through these vacuum areas.
Anchored VWAP
Displays the institutional average cost basis from the crash event.
■ Strategy
This tool is specialized for high-volatility events.
Fade the Red Wall: When price returns to a heavy red node and "Pain" is high, look for short opportunities.
Ride the Vacuum: Do not trade against the move inside the grey vacuum zones.

HFTS - Z-Score Mean ReversionCore Concept
The indicator calculates a Z-Score — a statistical measure showing how many standard deviations price is from its mean. When price stretches too far from the mean (into extreme territory), it tends to revert back, creating trading opportunities.
How It Works
Z-Score Calculation:
Takes a moving average (default 20 bars) and standard deviation of your chosen source (default: close)
Z-Score = (Price - Mean) / Standard Deviation
Applies smoothing (default 3-period SMA) to reduce noise
Includes a 9-period EMA signal line for crossover context
Zone Detection:
Overbought: Z-Score ≥ 2.0 (price is 2+ standard deviations above mean)
Oversold: Z-Score ≤ -2.0 (price is 2+ standard deviations below mean)
Reversal Signals:
Triangles plot when Z-Score exits extreme zones (not enters) — this is the mean reversion trigger
Short signal: Z-Score drops back below overbought level
Long signal: Z-Score rises back above oversold level
Visual Features
Volume Profile overlay showing where volume clustered at different Z-Score levels over your lookback period — helps identify high-volume-node zones where reversions may stall or accelerate
Info table displaying current Z-Score value, zone status, and momentum direction
Gold accent when in extreme zones, white line in neutral territory
Gold Orderflow Validator (Absorption Efficiency Shift )Gold Orderflow Validator — Absorption • Efficiency Shift • Expansion
This indicator is designed to validate market behavior, not to generate mechanical buy/sell signals.
It translates order-flow concepts used by professional traders into a clean, chart-based framework that can be used alongside footprint, volume, and price action analysis.
The core objective of this tool is to help traders identify when the market is being constrained, when it changes regime, and when expansion is likely to begin.
Conceptual Foundation
Markets move through three distinct phases:
Absorption – when effort increases but price fails to progress
Acceptance (Efficiency Shift) – when the market agrees on a new price area
Expansion – when price moves efficiently with reduced opposition
This indicator focuses on identifying these phases as a sequence, rather than treating them as isolated signals.
Key Components
1) Absorption Detection
Absorption occurs when:
Volume increases significantly
Candle wicks dominate
Price fails to expand meaningfully
This typically indicates that liquidity is being absorbed and price is being deliberately held.
Absorption is a contextual warning, not an entry signal.
Displayed as: ABS
2) Price Efficiency Shift
An efficiency shift identifies a regime change in the market:
Candle range expands relative to ATR
Candle body becomes dominant
Closing price occurs near the extreme of the bar
This reflects price acceptance — the point at which the market stops negotiating and begins moving decisively.
Displayed as: SHIFT↑ or SHIFT↓
3) Last Absorption → Expansion Sequence
This is the highest-quality condition the indicator identifies.
When:
Absorption occurs first
An efficiency shift follows within a defined window
Price breaks and holds beyond the absorption area
The market has likely completed accumulation/distribution and entered an expansion phase.
This sequence is intentionally conservative and aims to highlight high-conviction movement, not early prediction.
Displayed as: A→SHIFT ✅
How to Use the Indicator
Use Absorption to identify when the market is constrained and avoid premature entries.
Use Efficiency Shift to recognize a genuine change in market behavior.
Use the A→SHIFT sequence as confirmation that expansion is underway.
This indicator is best used:
As a confirmation tool, not a standalone system
In combination with footprint, volume profile, and higher-timeframe structure
For Gold (XAUUSD / GC) where false breakouts and liquidity events are common
What This Indicator Is Not
It is not a buy/sell signal generator
It does not predict tops or bottoms
It does not repaint signals on closed candles
All signals are generated only after candle close to ensure structural integrity.
Ideal Use Case
Context validation before entering trades
Confirming whether a breakout is genuine or transitional
Understanding when price is transitioning from balance to expansion
Final Notes
This indicator is intentionally minimal and conservative.
Its value lies in filtering noise, not increasing trade frequency.
Used correctly, it helps align traders with real market behavior rather than reactive price patterns.
Weis Wave Renko Panel 2 (Effort / Strength / Climax)Weis Wave Renko • Institutional HUD + Panel 2
Wyckoff / Auction Market Framework
This project consists of TWO COMPLEMENTARY INDICATORS, designed to be used together as a complete visual framework for reading Effort vs Result, Auction Direction, and Session Control, based on Wyckoff methodology and Auction Market Theory.
These tools are not trade signal generators.
They are context and decision-support instruments, built for discretionary traders who want to understand who is active, where effort is occurring, and when the auction is reaching maturity or exhaustion.
🔹 1) WEIS WAVE RENKO — INSTITUTIONAL HUD (Overlay)
📍 Location: Plotted directly on the price chart
🎯 Purpose: Fast, high-level institutional context and trade permission
The HUD answers:
“What is the current state of the auction, and is trading permitted?”
What the HUD shows:
🧠 Market Participation
Measures how much participation is present in the market:
Low Participation
Weak Participation
Active Participation
Dominant Participation
This reflects whether professional activity is present or absent, not direction alone.
📐 Auction Direction
Defines how the auction is currently resolving:
Auction Up
Auction Down
Balanced Auction
This is derived from price progression and effort alignment.
🔥 Effort (Effort vs Result)
Displays the relative strength of the current effort, normalized over recent waves:
Visual effort bar
Strength percentage (0–100)
Effort classification:
Low Effort
Increasing Effort
Strong Effort
Effort Exhaustion
This is the core Wyckoff concept: effort must produce result.
🌐 Session Control
Shows which trading session is controlling the auction:
Asia – Accumulation Phase
London – Development Phase
US RTH – Decision Phase
The dominant session is visually emphasized, while others are intentionally de-emphasized.
🔎 Market State & Trade Permission
Clearly separates structure from permission:
Structure (Neutral, Developing, Trending, Climactic Extension)
Permission
Trade Permitted
No Trade Zone
When Effort Exhaustion is detected, the HUD explicitly signals No Trade Zone.
🔹 2) WEIS WAVE RENKO — PANEL 2 (Lower Pane)
📍 Location: Dedicated lower pane below the price chart
🎯 Purpose: Detailed, continuous visualization of effort, strength, and climax
Panel 2 answers:
“How is effort evolving, and is the auction maturing or exhausting?”
What Panel 2 shows:
📊 Effort Wave (Weis-like)
Histogram of accumulated effort per directional wave
Green: Auction Up effort
Red: Auction Down effort
This reveals where real participation is building.
📈 Strength Line (0–100)
Normalized strength of the current effort wave
Same calculation used by the HUD
Enables precise comparison of effort over time
⚠️ Climax / Effort Exhaustion Marker
Triggered when effort is both strong and mature
Highlights Climactic Extension / Exhaustion
Serves as a warning, not an entry signal
🔗 HOW TO USE BOTH TOGETHER (IMPORTANT)
These indicators are designed to be used simultaneously:
Panel 2 reveals
→ how effort is building, peaking, or exhausting
HUD translates that information into
→ market state and trade permission
Typical workflow:
Panel 2 identifies rising effort or climax
HUD confirms:
Participation quality
Auction direction
Session control
Whether trading is permitted or restricted
⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES
These tools do not generate buy or sell signals
They are contextual and structural
Best used with:
Wyckoff schematics
Auction-based execution
Market profile / volume profile
Discretionary trade management
🎯 SUMMARY

## What This Indicator Does
This indicator combines two powerful concepts to identify complete market cycles:
### 1. Squeeze Momentum (LazyBear)
Detects **volatility compression** (consolidation) and subsequent **expansion** (breakout).
**Think of it like:** A spring being compressed, then released.
### 2. Multi-Timeframe Trend Exhaustion
Measures how far price has moved from its moving averages across multiple timeframes.
**Think of it like:** A rubber band being stretched—eventually it must snap back.
### The Complete Cycle
```
Consolidation → Breakout → Trend → Exhaustion → Reversion → Consolidation
```
This indicator shows you exactly where you are in this cycle.

| Element | What It Looks Like | Meaning |
|---------|-------------------|---------|
| **Colored Bars** | Green/Red histogram | Momentum strength and direction |
| **Filled Area** | Yellow/Lime/Red gradient area | Price extension from moving averages |
| **Cross at Zero** | Black/Gray/Blue cross | Squeeze state (volatility) |
| **Dashed Lines** | Horizontal red/green lines | Extension thresholds (±2σ scaled) |
---
### 1. Momentum Histogram (Colored Bars)
| Color | Direction | Meaning |
|-------|-----------|---------|
| **Bright Green** (Lime) | Up ↑ | Strong bullish momentum (increasing) |
| **Dark Green** | Up ↑ | Weak bullish momentum (decreasing) |
| **Bright Red** | Down ↓ | Strong bearish momentum (increasing) |
| **Dark Red** (Maroon) | Down ↓ | Weak bearish momentum (decreasing) |
**Key insight:** When bars change from bright to dark, momentum is fading.
---
### 2. Extension Area (Filled Gradient)
Shows how extended price is from its moving averages across 5 timeframes (5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, Daily).
| Color | Position | Meaning |
|-------|----------|---------|
| **Red** | High above zero | Severely overbought (>2σ scaled) |
| **Orange/Yellow** | Above zero | Moderately overbought |
| **Lime/Green** | Below zero | Moderately oversold |
| **Teal** | Deep below zero | Severely oversold (<-2σ scaled) |
**The area is scaled 3x** for better visibility. Actual values shown in table.
**Reading it:**
- **Area touching upper dashed line** = Price very far above averages (exhaustion territory)
- **Area touching lower dashed line** = Price very far below averages (exhaustion territory)
- **Area near zero** = Price near its averages (normal/neutral)
---
### 3. Squeeze Indicator (Cross at Zero Line)
| Color | Status | Meaning |
|-------|--------|---------|
| **Black** ⚫ | Squeeze ON | Bollinger Bands inside Keltner Channels → Low volatility, consolidation |
| **Gray** ⚪ | Squeeze OFF | Bollinger Bands outside Keltner Channels → Volatility expanding, breakout |
| **Blue** 🔵 | No Squeeze | Normal volatility conditions |
**Critical:** The transition from Black → Gray is where explosive moves begin.

## How to Read Signals
### Perfect Long Entry (High Confidence ⭐)
**Requirements (all must be true):**
1. ⚫→⚪ Squeeze just turned OFF (gray cross)
2. 📊 Momentum bars bright GREEN and rising
3. 🔻 Extension area BELOW lower dashed line (oversold)
4. ⭐ Confluence: 3/5 or more timeframes agree (shown as "🔻" in table)
**Visual:** Large green triangle appears
**What this means:** Price was oversold across multiple timeframes, consolidated, and is now breaking out upward with fresh momentum.
**Entry:** Next candle after signal
**Stop Loss:** Below recent consolidation low
**Take Profit:** When extension area crosses back above zero, or when exit signal appears
---
### Perfect Short Entry (High Confidence ⭐)
**Requirements (all must be true):**
1. ⚫→⚪ Squeeze just turned OFF (gray cross)
2. 📊 Momentum bars bright RED and falling
3. 🔺 Extension area ABOVE upper dashed line (overbought)
4. ⭐ Confluence: 3/5 or more timeframes agree (shown as "🔺" in table)
**Visual:** Large red triangle appears
**What this means:** Price was overbought across multiple timeframes, consolidated, and is now breaking down with fresh momentum.
**Entry:** Next candle after signal
**Stop Loss:** Above recent consolidation high
**Take Profit:** When extension area crosses back below zero, or when exit signal appears
---
### Exit Signals
#### Exit Long (Orange X)
**Appears when:**
- Extension area reaches upper dashed line (>2σ)
- Momentum bars turning from bright green to dark green
- Price losing upward velocity
**Action:** Close 50-100% of position. Move stop to breakeven on remainder.
#### Exit Short (Teal X)
**Appears when:**
- Extension area reaches lower dashed line (<-2σ)
- Momentum bars turning from bright red to dark red
- Price losing downward velocity
**Action:** Close 50-100% of position. Move stop to breakeven on remainder.
---
### Medium Confidence Signals (Small Triangles)
These appear when squeeze is OFF and momentum is directional, but:
- Extension is only moderate (not extreme), OR
- Confluence is weak (<3/5 timeframes)
**How to trade:**
- Use smaller position size (50% of normal)
- Tighter stops
- Only take if other factors align (support/resistance, volume, etc.)
---
## Trading Examples
### Example 1: Classic Squeeze Play into Trend
```
Step 1: CONSOLIDATION (💤)
Chart: Price moving sideways for 10-20 candles
Indicator: Black cross at zero (Squeeze ON)
Extension: Yellow/Lime area near zero line
Action: Set alert for Squeeze OFF
Step 2: BREAKOUT (⚡)
Chart: Strong green candle breaks resistance
Indicator: Cross turns GRAY (Squeeze OFF)
Bright GREEN momentum bars appear
Extension area still near zero or slightly below
Signal: Large green triangle appears
Action: ENTER LONG
Stop loss below consolidation
Target: Extension upper line
Step 3: TRENDING (↗️)
Chart: Series of higher highs and higher lows
Indicator: Momentum bars stay bright green
Extension area rising toward upper line
Area color transitions yellow → orange → red
Action: HOLD, trailing stop
Step 4: EXHAUSTION (🔴)
Chart: Price makes new high but with smaller candle
Indicator: Extension area touches upper dashed line
Momentum bars turn DARK green (weakening)
Orange X appears
Table shows "EXHAUSTION BULL"
Action: EXIT position
Book profits
Step 5: REVERSION
Chart: Price falls back toward moving averages
Indicator: Extension area shrinks back toward zero
Red momentum bars appear
Action: Wait for next setup
```
**Result:** Caught the entire trend from breakout to exhaustion.
---
### Example 2: Failed Breakout (What NOT to Trade)
```
Situation:
- Squeeze OFF (gray cross) ✓
- Momentum bars bright green ✓
- BUT extension area ABOVE upper line (already overbought) ✗
- Confluence shows 1/5 (only one timeframe agrees) ✗
Indicator: Small green triangle (medium confidence) or no triangle
What happens: Price makes small move up, then reverses
Lesson: Don't chase extended moves even if squeeze fires.
Wait for price to be on the RIGHT SIDE of the extension lines.
```
---
### Example 3: Exhaustion Reversal Trade
```
Step 1: EXTENDED (⚠️)
Chart: Strong uptrend for days
Indicator: Extension area deep in red zone (>2σ)
Momentum still bright green but starting to shorten
Table: "EXTENDED UP" / "CAUTION LONG"
Action: Watch closely, tighten stops
Step 2: EXHAUSTION (🔴)
Chart: Price makes final push but with decreasing volume
Indicator: Momentum bars turn DARK green
Orange X appears
Table: "EXHAUSTION BULL" + "4/5 🔺"
Action: CLOSE any longs
Consider SHORT entry
Step 3: SQUEEZE FORMS (Optional)
Chart: Price starts consolidating
Indicator: Cross turns BLACK (Squeeze ON)
Extension area falling toward zero
Action: Wait for Squeeze OFF to confirm reversal
Step 4: BREAKOUT DOWN (⚡)
Indicator: Cross turns GRAY
Bright RED momentum bars
Large red triangle appears
Action: ENTER SHORT (reversal confirmed)
```
**Result:** Exited at the top, caught the reversal.

### Understanding the Table
Located in top-right corner:
| Row | Meaning |
|-----|---------|
| **Market State** | Current cycle phase (Consolidation/Breakout/Trending/Exhaustion) |
| **Squeeze** | 🔴 ON / 🟢 OFF / 🔵 No |
| **Momentum** | ↑ Bull / ↓ Bear / ~ Weak / — Neutral |
| **Extension** | Actual value in standard deviations (σ) - NOT scaled |
| **Confluence** | How many timeframes agree (X/5 🔺 or 🔻) |
| **Velocity** | Speed of extension change (↑ increasing, ↓ decreasing) |
| **ACTION** | What to do right now |
**Most important rows:**
1. **Market State** - Quick glance at current cycle
2. **Confluence** - Determines signal quality
3. **ACTION** - Direct guidance
---
## Best Practices
### ✅ DO
1. **Wait for High Confidence signals** (large triangles)
- Don't trade every small signal
- Quality over quantity
2. **Use the complete cycle**
- Enter on Breakout (⚡)
- Hold through Trending (↗️/↘️)
- Exit on Exhaustion (🔴/🟢)
3. **Respect confluence**
- 4/5 or 5/5 = Excellent probability
- 3/5 = Good probability
- 1-2/5 = Skip
4. **Combine with price action**
- Support/resistance levels
- Volume confirmation
- Candlestick patterns
5. **Set alerts**
- "Squeeze OFF" - Don't miss breakouts
- "HC Long Setup" / "HC Short Setup"
- "Exit Long" / "Exit Short"
6. **Scale positions**
- Enter 50% on signal
- Add 25% if extension confirms
- Add final 25% if momentum sustains
7. **Use proper risk management**
- Stop loss: Below/above consolidation
- Position size: 1-2% account risk
- Take profit: Extension targets or signals
---
### ❌ DON'T
1. **Don't trade Consolidation state**
- Black cross (Squeeze ON) = Wait mode
- No signals during consolidation
2. **Don't chase Extended moves**
- If extension already >2σ when Squeeze fires
- Even if momentum looks good
- Wait for reversion first
3. **Don't fight strong trends**
- If extension is growing and momentum strong
- Don't counter-trend trade
- Wait for exhaustion signals
4. **Don't ignore velocity**
- If velocity is ↑ and extension high = still dangerous
- If velocity is ↓ and extension high = safer reversal
5. **Don't trade low confluence**
- 1/5 or 2/5 = Different timeframes disagree
- High chance of false signal
6. **Don't use blindly**
- Check overall market context
- Major news events can override signals
- Trend on higher timeframe matters
7. **Don't overtrade**
- Good setups are rare (that's why they work)
- Wait for complete setup formation
---
## Quick Reference Card
### Signal Quality Checklist
**⭐⭐⭐ PERFECT SETUP (Trade this)**
- Squeeze just turned OFF (⚫→⚪)
- Momentum bright and directional
- Extension >2σ (OPPOSITE direction of entry)
- Confluence ≥3/5
- Large triangle signal
- Action says "LONG/SHORT ENTRY ⭐"
**⭐⭐ GOOD SETUP (Trade with caution)**
- Squeeze OFF
- Momentum directional
- Extension moderate
- Confluence ≥3/5
- Small triangle or Action confirms
**⭐ WEAK SETUP (Skip)**
- Low confluence (<3/5)
- Extension same direction as entry
- Momentum weak or conflicting
- Already in Extended/Exhaustion state
---
### State → Action Quick Guide
| See This State | Do This |
|---------------|---------|
| 💤 CONSOLIDATION | Wait, set alerts |
| ⚡ BREAKOUT | Enter in direction |
| ↗️/↘️ TRENDING | Hold positions |
| ⚠️ EXTENDED | Tighten stops, no new entries |
| 🔴/🟢 EXHAUSTION | Exit, consider reversal |
| — NEUTRAL | No trade |
---
## Troubleshooting
**Q: Indicator shows Exhaustion but price keeps going**
**A:** Check velocity and momentum. If still bright bars + velocity ↑, wait. True exhaustion needs momentum weakening.
**Q: Too many false signals**
**A:** Increase Min Confluence to 4/5. Use longer timeframe chart (4h instead of 1h).
**Q: Missing good trades**
**A:** Set alerts for "Squeeze OFF" and "HC Entry" signals. You can't watch charts 24/7.
**Q: Extension area looks weird**
**A:** Remember it's scaled 3x for visibility. Check table for actual values.
**Q: Which timeframe is best?**
**A:** 4H for swing trading, 1H for day trading. Lower = more signals but more noise.
**Q: Can I use this with other indicators?**
**A:** Yes! Combine with:
- Volume profile
- Support/resistance levels
- Moving averages on chart
- RSI for additional confirmation
---
## Final Thoughts
This indicator gives you a complete picture of market structure:
- **Where are we?** (Market State)
- **Where are we going?** (Momentum)
- **How far can it go?** (Extension)
- **When will it reverse?** (Exhaustion)
The key is **patience**. Wait for the complete setup:
1. Consolidation (⚫ Squeeze ON)
2. Breakout (⚪ Squeeze OFF)
3. Right extension direction (oversold for longs, overbought for shorts)
4. Strong confluence (3/5+)
When all pieces align, you get high-probability trades with clear entries, targets, and exits.
**Trade the cycle, not every wiggle.**

Pivot Move Ranges█ OVERVIEW
“Pivot Move Ranges” is an indicator that displays only the historical price ranges of moves that match the direction of the current swing.
It measures the price range of each individual swing and draws them as horizontal Δ-boxes positioned at the level of the most recently detected pivot.
The indicator operates with a delay equal to the set pivot detection length – after each new Pivot High, only red Δ-boxes appear showing the sizes of previous downward moves; after each new Pivot Low, only green Δ-boxes appear showing the sizes of previous upward moves. When the swing direction changes, the displayed set of levels instantly switches to the opposite direction.
█ CONCEPTS
The indicator was created to instantly provide the trader with objective, real historical price ranges – perfectly reinforcing classic tools such as Fibonacci extension/retracement, daily/weekly pivots, moving averages, order blocks, or Volume Profile.
It detects classic Pivot High and Pivot Low points:
- New Pivot High → only previous downward moves are shown (red Δ-boxes)
- New Pivot Low → only previous upward moves are shown (green Δ-boxes)
This ensures that at any moment you see only the historical ranges that match the current market direction. Price moves very often repeat themselves – the indicator makes these recurring levels immediately visible and ready to serve as natural reinforcement for other technical analysis tools.
█ FEATURES
- Pivot High / Pivot Low detection with adjustable length (default 12)
- Δ-boxes – thin horizontal lines showing the exact size of previous moves that match the current swing
- Automatic switching of the Δ-box set whenever a new opposite pivot appears
- Memory of the last N moves (default 6, max. 50) – oldest are automatically removed
- Labels showing move size (Δ) and start date/time
- Full color customization (separate for up and down), border and text transparency
- Choice of date format (DD.MM.YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY)
- Small circles marking the exact pivot locations
█ HOW TO USE
Add the indicator to your TradingView chart → paste the code → Add to Chart.
Settings:
- Pivot Length – higher values = fewer but more significant pivots (detected with a delay equal to this length)
- Max Corrections to Keep – how many previous matching moves are displayed at once
- Upward / Downward Box Color – colors of the Δ-boxes
- Box Border Transparency (%) – 0 = solid lines, 50–70 = subtle
- Show Δ Text + Move Start Date – turn labels on/off
Interpretation:
At any given moment the chart shows only the historical ranges of moves in the current direction:
- after a Pivot High → red Δ-boxes = “how far the market previously fell”
- after a Pivot Low → green Δ-boxes = “how far the market previously rose”
█ APPLICATIONS
- Instant reinforcement of technical levels – historical moves matching the current swing direction often coincide with Fibonacci levels, daily/weekly pivots, moving averages, or order blocks
- Fast cluster detection – set a high Max Corrections value (30–50) to see where the largest number of similarly sized moves cluster, then reduce to 6–10 and focus only on the most recent levels
█ NOTES
- On very strong trends, Δ-boxes can be extremely long – this is normal and correct behavior
- Always use as a supporting layer alongside other technical analysis tools
Filter Trend1. Indicator Name
Premium EMA Ribbon Filter (Pro Version)
(Advanced Trend & Momentum Filtering System Based on EMA Ribbons)
2. One-Line Introduction
A professional trend-analysis indicator that blends an advanced noise-filtering algorithm with an EMA ribbon system to extract only the pure bullish/bearish trend while smoothing out market noise.
3. Overall Description (7+ lines)
The Premium EMA Ribbon Filter is more than just a set of EMAs.
It analyzes the structure of a fast, medium, and slow EMA ribbon—along with the spacing and alignment between them—to determine whether the market is in a bullish trend, bearish trend, or a neutral/noise-heavy zone.
The core of this indicator is its noise-reduction algorithm and trend-strength calculation system.
Instead of relying on simple EMA cross signals, it evaluates how consistently the ribbon maintains bullish/bearish alignment over a specified period and highlights only strong trends with color coding, while weak or noisy areas are displayed in gray.
This helps traders avoid confusing or false signals and clearly focus only on the “meaningful zones.”
A Triple-Smoothing System is applied to create smoother, more refined ribbon movements, forming a stable “premium trend curve” that is less affected by short-term volatility.
As a result, this indicator works effectively for scalping, swing trading, and long-term trend following—staying true to the principle of removing noise and highlighting only the core market flow.
4. Short Advantages (6 items)
① Complete Noise Filtering
Using EMA ribbon comparison + tolerance logic, false reversals are largely eliminated, leaving only stable trend phases.
② Highly Readable Color System
Bullish trends are mint, bearish trends are red, and neutral/noise zones are gray—instantly visualizing market conditions.
③ Trend Strength Visualization
Not only trend direction but also trend strength is displayed via dynamic color transparency.
④ Smooth, Premium-Style Ribbon Design
Triple-smoothing creates a refined, luxury-level smoothness in movement.
⑤ Works Across All Timeframes
From 1-minute scalping to daily/weekly macro trend analysis.
⑥ Excellent Real-Trading Compatibility
Works extremely well when combined with ATR, SuperTrend, and volume-based indicators.
Indicator Manual (Required Section)
📌 Understanding the Core Concept
The indicator uses three EMAs (e.g., 20/50/100) arranged as a ribbon to analyze the structural alignment of the trend.
When the EMAs are cleanly aligned Top → Middle → Bottom, the market is in a bullish trend.
When aligned Bottom → Middle → Top, the market is in a bearish trend.
The indicator further evaluates the ribbon spread (gap) and the consistency of alignment to compute trend strength.
Noisy market conditions are shaded gray to clearly indicate “uncertain/indecisive” zones.
⚙️ Settings Description
Option Description
Fast EMA Most sensitive EMA; detects early trend signals
Mid EMA Stabilizes the primary trend direction
Slow EMA Defines the broader, long-term trend flow
Trend Lookback The period used to analyze trend strength
Noise Tolerance (%) Higher values = stronger noise removal
Smoothing Steps Controls how smooth the ribbon becomes
📈 Example Recognition
A bullish continuation/entry scenario forms when:
EMAs align in the order Fast → Mid → Slow (top side)
Ribbon color shifts into mint (strong bullish trend)
The ribbon begins to expand while price stays above the ribbon
📉 Example Recognition
A bearish continuation/entry occurs when:
EMAs align Fast → Mid → Slow (bottom side)
Ribbon color remains red
After contracting, the ribbon expands again during renewed downside strength
🧪 Recommended Usage
Combine with volume-based indicators (OBV, Volume Profile) → enhanced strong-trend detection
Use with SuperTrend or ATR Stop → clearer stop-loss placement
Combine with RSI/Stoch → avoid counter-trend entries in overheated conditions
Higher leverage traders should use higher tolerance settings
🔒 Cautions
EMA ribbons are trend-following tools; signals may weaken in ranging/sideways markets.
Never rely solely on this indicator—always confirm with volume, price patterns, or structure.
Very low Lookback values may cause excessive re-entry signals.
In high-volatility environments, ribbon spacing can contract/expand rapidly—use with caution.
DeltaFlow Volume Dr.Ryan [Beluga Port]This is a delta volume profile copy I have made for tracking volume flow.
Energy Meter (Candle Range/ATR Ratio)Purpose:
This indicator is a simple, intuitive way to visualize auction energy — the actual force behind a price move — rather than just its appearance on the chart. It’s built on a single idea:
If a bar travels farther than normal in its fixed amount of time, something pushed harder than usual.
That “push” is auction energy, and it’s the raw material of microstructure inference: reading intent and imbalance from nothing more than candles, tempo, and volatility.
Traditional indicators focus on price patterns or volume. This one focuses on pressure — the underlying imbalance driving each bar.
How It Works
Each bar’s True Range is divided by its ATR, producing a normalized ratio:
1.0 = Average energy
>1.2 (default) = Above-normal energy
<1.0 = Quiet, low-pressure bars
This ratio is plotted as a histogram to highlight bursts of force, with a smoothed line added to show the tempo of recent energy changes.
When the histogram spikes, you’re seeing the auction flash its teeth: aggression, initiative, failed absorption, breakout ignition, or the first punch of a reversal.
When the line rolls over, you’re seeing the engine lose torque.
It’s a minimalist tool for seeing who is actually winning the auction, even when price looks deceptively calm.
Why It Matters
Price moves because of imbalance, not geometry. Two candles that look identical can represent completely different internal dynamics.
This indicator helps you see:
Breakout strength vs. fakeouts
Acceleration vs. drift
Exhaustion after extended runs
Reversal attempts with real intent
Quiet absorption before explosive moves
Shifts in aggression hidden inside consolidation
For new traders, it’s a clean introduction to microstructure inference — extracting meaningful order-flow insights without needing L2, DOM, or volume profile.
For experienced traders, it's a compact impulse detector that complements trend, volatility, and liquidity models.
Summary
This is a lightweight, first-principles tool designed to expose the energy signature of the auction: how hard the market is trying to go somewhere.
It doesn’t predict direction — it reveals pressure, so you can judge the quality of the move you’re trading.
Energy beats geometry.
Intent beats patterns.
Microstructure is hiding in every candle; this indicator makes it visible.
MA SMART Angle
### 📊 WHAT IS MA SMART ANGLE?
**MA SMART Angle** is an advanced momentum and trend detection indicator that analyzes the angles (slopes) of multiple moving averages to generate clear, non-repainting BUY and SELL signals.
**Original Concept Credit:** This indicator builds upon the "MA Angles" concept originally created by **JD** (also known as Duyck). The core angle calculation methodology and Jurik Moving Average (JMA) implementation by **Everget** are preserved from the original open-source work. The angle calculation formula was contributed by **KyJ**. This enhanced version is published with respect to the open-source nature of the original indicator.
Original indicator reference: "ma angles - JD" by Duyck
---
## 🎯 ORIGINALITY & VALUE PROPOSITION
### **What Makes This Different from the Original:**
While the original "MA Angles" by **JD** provided excellent angle visualization, it lacked actionable entry signals. **MA SMART Angle** addresses this by adding:
**1. Clear Entry/Exit Signals**
- Explicit BUY/SELL arrows based on angle crossovers, momentum confirmation, and MA alignment
- No guessing when to enter trades - the indicator tells you exactly when conditions align
**2. Non-Repainting Logic**
- All signals use confirmed historical data (shifted by 2 bars minimum)
- Critical for backtesting reliability and live trading confidence
- Original indicator could repaint signals on current bar
**3. Dual Signal System**
- **Simple Mode:** More frequent signals based on angle crossovers + momentum (for active traders)
- **Strict Mode:** Requires full multi-MA alignment + momentum confirmation (for conservative traders)
- Adaptable to different trading styles and risk tolerances
**4. Smart Signal Filtering**
- **Anti-spam cooldown:** Prevents duplicate signals within configurable bar count
- **No-trade zone detection:** Filters out low-conviction sideways markets automatically
- **Multi-timeframe MA alignment:** Ensures all moving averages agree on direction before signaling
**5. Enhanced Visualization**
- Large, clear BUY/SELL arrows with descriptive labels
- Color-coded backgrounds for market states (trending vs. ranging)
- Momentum histogram showing acceleration/deceleration in real-time
- Live status table displaying trend strength, angle value, momentum, and MA alignment
**6. Professional Alert System**
- Four distinct alert conditions: BUY Signal, SELL Signal, Strong BUY, Strong SELL
- Enables automated trade notifications and strategy integration
**7. Modified MA Periods**
- Original used EMA(27), EMA(83), EMA(278)
- Enhanced version uses faster EMA(3), EMA(8), EMA(13) for more responsive signals
- Better suited for modern volatile markets and shorter timeframes
---
## 📐 HOW IT WORKS - TECHNICAL EXPLANATION
### **Core Methodology:**
The indicator calculates angles (slopes) for five key moving averages:
- **JMA (Jurik Moving Average)** - Smooth, lag-reduced trend line (original implementation by **Everget**)
- **JMA Fast** - Responsive momentum indicator with higher power parameter
- **MA27 (EMA 3)** - Primary fast-moving average for signal generation
- **MA83 (EMA 8)** - Medium-term trend confirmation
- **MA278 (EMA 13)** - Slower trend filter
### **Angle Calculation Formula (by KyJ):**
```
angle = arctan((MA - MA ) / ATR(14)) × (180 / π)
```
**Why ATR normalization?**
- Makes angles comparable across different instruments (forex, stocks, crypto)
- Makes angles comparable across different timeframes
- Accounts for volatility - a 10-point move in different assets has different significance
**Angle Interpretation:**
- **> 15°** = Strong trend (momentum accelerating)
- **0° to 15°** = Weak trend (momentum present but moderate)
- **-2° to +2°** = No-trade zone (sideways/choppy market)
- **< -15°** = Strong downtrend
### **Signal Generation Logic:**
#### **BUY Signal Conditions:**
1. MA27 angle crosses above 0° (upward momentum initiates)
2. All three EMAs (3, 8, 13) pointing upward (trend alignment confirmed)
3. Momentum is positive for 2+ bars (acceleration, not deceleration)
4. Angle exceeds minimum threshold (not in no-trade zone)
5. Cooldown period passed (prevents signal spam)
#### **SELL Signal Conditions:**
1. MA27 angle crosses below 0° (downward momentum initiates)
2. All three EMAs pointing downward (downtrend alignment)
3. Momentum is negative for 2+ bars
4. Angle below negative threshold (not in no-trade zone)
5. Cooldown period passed
#### **Strong BUY+ / SELL+ Signals:**
Additional entry opportunities when JMA Fast crosses JMA Slow while maintaining strong directional angle - indicates momentum acceleration within established trend.

- **Strict:** Angle crossover AND all MAs aligned AND momentum confirmed
- Start with Simple, switch to Strict if too many false signals
**4. Minimum Angle for Signal** (default: 5°)
- Only generate signals when angle exceeds this threshold
- Higher values = stronger trends required
- Lower values = more sensitive to momentum changes
**5. Cooldown Bars** (default: 5)
- Minimum bars between consecutive signals
- Prevents spam during volatile chop
- Scale with your timeframe (higher TF = more bars)
**6. Color Bars** (default: true)
- Colors chart bars based on signal state
- Green = bullish conditions, Red = bearish conditions
- Can disable if you prefer clean price bars
**7. Background Colors**
- **Yellow background** = No-trade zone (low angle, ranging market)
- **Green flash** = BUY signal generated
- **Red flash** = SELL signal generated
- All customizable or can be disabled

VWAP CATS background flipped 4.0VWAP CATS Background Flipped 4.0 is a sophisticated Pine Script v5 indicator for TradingView that combines a configurable moving average (MA) with dynamic Gann Square of 9 levels to create a multi-layered background shading system for price action analysis. It visualizes support/resistance zones around a central MA (often VWAP or RVWAP) using incremental offsets (either % or absolute points), generating symmetrical bands that resemble a "CATS" (Concentric Adaptive Tiered System) — hence the name.The background is "flipped" in the sense that shading intensity and structure emphasize higher-tier zones, and labels are placed to the right of the chart for future projection.Key FeaturesFeature
