Candlestick Absorption (Pure Price+Volume)📘 Candlestick Absorption (Pure Price + Volume)
An original approach to detecting hidden institutional absorption using nothing but candle structure and relative volume.
🧠 Concept
Every candle tells a story — not just in its color, but in the battle between aggressive orders and passive liquidity.
This indicator isolates those moments where one side of the market absorbs the other’s aggression — when a candle shows excess wicks on high volume but fails to extend in that direction.
Unlike traditional volume indicators or oscillators, this script focuses solely on the interaction between wick length, body size, and relative volume , giving a pure price–volume perspective of absorption and exhaustion.
⚙️ How It Works
1. Relative Volume Detection
• Compares each candle’s volume to a configurable moving average (default SMA 20).
• Marks only candles with significantly above-average activity (e.g. 1.5× SMA) as eligible for absorption.
2. Wick–Body Anatomy Analysis
• Measures the proportion of each candle’s wicks and body within its total range.
• Focuses on long wicks with small bodies , representing strong push-and-absorb behavior.
• The close must remain off the extreme by a user-defined percentage to confirm that the move was rejected.
3. Absorption Logic
• Bullish Absorption (⬆) → long lower wick, high volume, small body, close away from the low → demand absorbed selling pressure.
• Bearish Absorption (⬇) → long upper wick, high volume, small body, close away from the high → supply absorbed buying pressure.
4. Cooldown & Clarity
• A built-in cooldown prevents repetitive signals in congestion zones.
• Optional translucent absorption zones (boxes) extend forward, helping you visualize where future retests may react.
🎯 How to Use It
• Watch for Absorb ⬆ or Absorb ⬇ markers near swing highs/lows, session extremes, or fair-value gaps — these often highlight zones of institutional absorption or stop-runs.
• Combine with market structure or order-flow context rather than standalone entries.
• Use zones as potential re-entry or rejection levels when price revisits them.
• For intraday use, increase High-Volume Factor to 1.8–2.2 to filter noise.
• For higher timeframes, relax wick/body thresholds slightly to capture broader absorption events.
⸻
🔍 What Makes It Original
• Pure Price + Volume logic — no MAs, RSI, VWAP, or momentum filters.
• Uses dynamic wick-to-range ratios and relative-volume qualification instead of arbitrary thresholds.
• Adaptive visual design: the plotted boxes fade as they age, making absorption footprints visually intuitive.
• Works across any market (stocks, crypto, indices, futures) and timeframe without recalibration.
• Zero repainting. All signals are based on completed bars only.

Demand/Supply Oscillator_immyDemand/Supply Oscillator, probably the only D/S oscillator on TV which doesn't draw the lines on the chart but to show you the actual reasons behind the price moves.
Concept Overview
A demand/supply oscillator would aim to look for the hidden spots/order which institutes place in small quantities to not to upset the trend and suddenly place one big order to liquidate the retailers and make a final big move.
The lite color candles in histogram shows the hidden demand/supply which is the reason behind the sudden price pullback, even for short period of time.
Measure demand and supply based on volume, price movement, or candle structure
Identify price waves or impulses (e.g., using fractals, zigzag, or swing high/low logic)
Detect hidden demand/supply (e.g., low volume pullbacks or absorption zones)
Plotted on histogram boxes to visualize strength and direction of each wave
What “Hidden Demand” Means?
Hidden demand refers to buying pressure that isn’t immediately obvious from price action — in other words, buyers are active “behind the scenes” even though the price doesn’t yet show strong upward movement.
What Hidden supply Means?
refers to selling pressure that isn’t obvious yet on the price chart. It means smart money (big players) are quietly selling or distributing positions, even though the price might not be dropping sharply yet.
It usually appears when:
The price is pulling back slightly (down candle),
But volume or an oscillator (like RSI, MACD, or OBV) shows bullish strength (e.g., higher low or positive divergence).
That suggests smart money is accumulating (buying quietly) while the public may think it’s just a normal dip.
💹 Price Reaction — Up or Down?
If there is hidden demand, it’s generally a bullish signal → meaning price is likely to go up afterward.
However, on that exact candle, the price may still be down or neutral, because:
Hidden demand is “hidden” — buyers are absorbing supply quietly.
The move up usually comes after the hidden demand signal, not necessarily on the same candle.
📊 Example
Suppose:
Price makes a slightly lower low,
But RSI makes a higher low → this is bullish (hidden) divergence, or “hidden demand.”
➡️ Interpretation:
Smart buyers are stepping in → next few candles likely move up.
The current candle might still be red or show a small body — that’s okay. The key is the shift in underlying strength.
🧭 Quick Summary
Term Meaning Candle Effect Expected Move After
Hidden Demand Buyers active below surface Candle may still go down or stay flat
Hidden Supply Sellers active behind the scenes Price likely to rise soon
🛠️ Key Components
Best results with Price/Action e.g. Use swing high/low or zigzag to segment price into waves.
Optionally apply fractal logic for more refined wave detection
Combine with other indicators (e.g., RSI, OBV) for confirmation
Include zone strength metrics (e.g., “Power Number” as seen in some indicators)
Demand/Supply Calculation
Demand: Strong bullish candles, increasing volume, breakout zones
Supply: Strong bearish candles, volume spikes on down moves
Hidden Demand/Supply: Pullbacks with low volume or absorption candles
Histogram Visualization
Use plot() or plotshape() to draw histogram bars
Color-code bars: e.g., green for demand, red for supply, lite colors for hidden zones
Add alerts for wave transitions or hidden zone detection
How It Works
Demand/Supply: Detected when price moves strongly with volume spikes.
Hidden Zones: Detected when price moves but volume is low (potential absorption).
Histogram Values:
+2: Strong Demand
+1: Hidden Demand
-1: Hidden Supply
-2: Strong Supply
0: Neutral
Feature Demand (Visible) Hidden Demand
Visibility Clearly seen on price charts Subtle, often masked in consolidation

3D Candles (Zeiierman)█ Overview
3D Candles (Zeiierman) is a unique 3D take on classic candlesticks, offering a fresh, high-clarity way to visualize price action directly on your chart. Visualizing price in alternative ways can help traders interpret the same data differently and potentially gain a new perspective.
█ How It Works
⚪ 3D Body Construction
For each bar, the script computes the candle body (open/close bounds), then projects a top face offset by a depth amount. The depth is proportional to that candle’s high–low range, so it looks consistent across symbols with different prices/precisions.
rng = math.max(1e-10, high - low ) // candle range
depthMag = rng * depthPct * factorMag // % of range, shaped by tilt amount
depth = depthMag * factorSign // direction from dev (up/down)
depthPct → how “thick” the 3D effect is, as a % of each candle’s own range.
factorMag → scales the effect based on your tilt input (dev), with a smooth curve so small tilts still show.
factorSign → applies the direction of the tilt (up or down).
⚪ Tilt & Perspective
Tilt is controlled by dev and translated into a gentle perspective factor:
slope = (4.0 * math.abs(dev)) / width
factorMag = math.pow(math.min(1.0, slope), 0.5) // sqrt softens response
factorSign = dev == 0 ? 0.0 : math.sign(dev) // direction (up/down)
Larger dev → stronger 3D presence (up to a cap).
The square-root curve makes small dev values noticeable without overdoing it.
█ How to Use
Traders can use 3D Candles just like regular candlesticks. The difference is the 3D visualization, which can broaden your view and help you notice price behavior from a fresh perspective.
⚪ Quick setup (dual-view):
Split your TradingView layout into two synchronized charts.
Right pane: keep your standard candlestick or bar chart for live execution.
Left pane: add 3D Candles (Zeiierman) to compare the same symbol/timeframe.
Observe differences: the 3D rendering can make expansion/contraction and body emphasis easier to spot at a glance.
█ Go Full 3D
Take the experience further by pairing 3D Candles (Zeiierman) with Volume Profile 3D (Zeiierman) , a perfect complement that shows where activity is concentrated, while your 3D candles show how the price unfolded.
█ Settings
Candles — How many 3D candles to draw. Higher values draw more shapes and may impact performance on slower machines.
Block Width (bars) — Visual thickness of each 3D candle along the x-axis. Larger values look chunkier but can overlap more.
Up/Down — Controls the tilt and strength of the 3D top face.
3D depth (% of range) — Thickness of the 3D effect as a percentage of each candle’s own high–low range. Larger values exaggerate the depth.

Wyckoff Effort vs. Result📌 Wyckoff Effort vs. Result (E/R) – Visualizing Supply & Demand Imbalance with Volume Confirmation
📖 Overview
The Wyckoff Effort vs. Result (E/R) indicator is designed to help traders interpret market behavior through the lens of volume vs. price movement — a foundational concept in Richard Wyckoff’s methodology.
This tool aims to highlight moments where the “effort” (volume) is not in proportion to the “result” (price movement) — giving insight into potential accumulation or distribution events.
By detecting high-volume candles and classifying them based on their price direction, the indicator visualizes zones where smart money might be active .
⚙️ How It Works
1. Effort Accumulation (High Volume Down Bar):
• When a candle closes lower than it opens (down bar) and has above-average volume , it’s marked as potential absorption of selling pressure (effort to push down met by buying).
• These candles are colored red and the open level is plotted, acting as a potential support or re-test zone.
2. Effort Distribution (High Volume Up Bar):
• When a candle closes higher than it opens (up bar) and has above-average volume , it’s marked as potential distribution (effort to push up absorbed by sellers).
• These candles are colored green and the open level is plotted , acting as a potential resistance or rejection zone.
3. Average Volume Calculation:
• The script calculates a simple moving average (SMA) of volume over a user-defined lookback period.
• If current volume exceeds the average multiplied by a set threshold, it’s treated as a high-effort bar .
🧪 Inputs
Input Description
Average Volume Lookback - Number of bars used to calculate the volume average
High Volume Multiplier. - Multiplier to define what qualifies as “high volume”
🖥️ Visual Output
• 🔴 Red candles = High volume on a down bar → possible accumulation
• 🟢 Green candles = High volume on an up bar → possible distribution
• 📉 Horizontal lines at bar open price mark the potential zones where effort occurred
These zones can serve as:
• Areas of support/resistance
• Trap zones where smart money absorbs liquidity
• Entry/exit filters when combined with price action
🧠 How to Use
• Use in combination with price structure, support/resistance, and volume profile tools
• Watch how price reacts when it revisits the plotted lines
• Look for effort bars that fail to lead to continuation, signaling potential reversal
• Can be used in scalping, swing trading, or Wyckoff-style phase analysis
🔒 Technical Notes
• ✅ Does not repaint
• ✅ Built with Pine Script v6
• ✅ Lightweight and customizable
• ❌ Does not generate buy/sell signals — it provides context, not predictions
Fixed Range Volume Profile"Distribution of transaction volume by price group (transaction volume by price block)"
Instructions for use (Professional Manual)
1. a basic concept
By vertical axis (price), shows the cumulative trading volume traded in the segment.
The longer the block, the more transactions took place in that price range.
Colors distinguish between buying/selling strength (green = buying advantage, red = selling advantage).
2. Key components
POC (Point of Control)
→ Longest block (most traded price segment, "key selling point").
VAH / VAL (Value Area High/Low)
→ Top/bottom segments where approximately 70% of the total volume is formed.
→ Role of "Major Support/Resistance".
High Capacity Node (HVN)
→ Significantly higher trading volumes → strong support/resistance.
Low Volume Node (LVN)
→ Low volume section → areas where prices are easily passed.
3. practical application
Find Support/Resistance
The thickest block (POC) is used as a place where prices often rebound/resist.
a trading entry/liquidation strategy
Buy if the price is supported near HVN,
When breaking through the LVN, fast movement (gap movement) can be expected.
break/goal setting
Finger = Under the LVN,
Target = Next HVN.
Judgment of trends
When the block distribution is concentrated above, "Increase to Collection Section"
If you're driven below, you're "in a downtrend to a variance section."
4. Precautions
The volume distribution is "past data based" and is not an indicator of the future.
Rather than using it alone, it is more effective to combine with Fibonacci, trend lines, and candle patterns.
In particular, in the volatile market, the LVN breakthrough → may signal a surge/fall.
In summary, this block indicator is "a map showing the most market participants at any price point".
In other words, it is useful for finding support/resistance as a tool for analyzing sales and establishing the basis for trading strategies.

Wick Pressure Zones [BigBeluga]
The Wick Pressure Zones indicator highlights areas where extreme wick activity occurred, signaling strong buy or sell pressure. By measuring unusually long upper or lower wicks and mapping them into gradient volume zones , the tool helps traders identify levels where liquidity was absorbed, leaving behind footprints of supply and demand imbalances. These zones often act as support, resistance, or liquidity sweep magnets .
🔵 CONCEPTS
Extreme Wicks : Large upper or lower shadows indicate aggressive rejection — upper wicks suggest selling pressure, lower wicks suggest buying pressure.
Volumatic Gradient Zones : From each detected wick, the indicator projects a layered gradient zone, proportional to the wick’s size, showing where most pressure occurred.
Liquidity Footprints : These zones mark levels where significant buy/sell volume was executed, often becoming reaction points on future retests.
Automatic Expiration : Zones persist until price decisively trades through them, after which they are cleared to keep the chart clean.
🔵 FEATURES
Automatic Wick Detection : Identifies extreme upper and lower wick events using percentile filtering and Realative Strength Index.
Gradient Zone Visualization : Builds a 10-layer zone from the wick top/bottom, shading intensity according to pressure strength.
Volume Labels : Each zone is annotated with the bar’s volume at the origin point for added context.
Dynamic Zone Extension : Zones extend to the right as long as they remain relevant; once price closes through them, they are removed.
Support & Resistance Mapping : Upper wick zones (red) behave like supply/resistance, lower wick zones (green) like demand/support.
Clutter Control : Limits the number of active zones (default 10) to keep charts responsive.
Background Highlighting : Optional background shading when new wick zones appear (red for sell, green for buy).
🔵 HOW TO USE
Look for Upper Wick Zones (red) : Indicate strong selling pressure; watch for resistance, reversals, or liquidity sweeps above.
Look for Lower Wick Zones (green) : Indicate strong buying pressure; watch for support or liquidity sweeps below.
Trade Retests : When price returns to a zone, expect a reaction (bounce or rejection) due to leftover liquidity.
Combine with Context : Align wick pressure zones with HTF support/resistance, order blocks, or volume profile for stronger signals.
Use Volume Labels : High-volume wicks indicate more significant liquidity events, making the zone more likely to act as a strong reaction point.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Wick Pressure Zones is a powerful way to visualize hidden liquidity and aggressive rejections. By mapping extreme wick events into dynamic, volume-annotated zones, it shows traders where the market absorbed heavy buy/sell pressure. These levels frequently act as magnets or turning points, making them valuable for timing entries, stop placement, or fade strategies.
Vwapbot (VWAP + Ut Bot Alerts)Vwapbot (VWAP + Ut Bot Alerts) - Complete Guide
This Pine Script indicator combines two powerful trading tools: Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) and the UT Bot trend-following system. Here's a comprehensive breakdown:
What This Indicator Does
The indicator provides:
1. VWAP calculation with deviation bands
2. UT Bot trend signals with trailing stops
3. Combined confluence alerts when both indicators align
4. Visual information table showing current market conditions
Core Components
1. VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
What it is: VWAP calculates the average price weighted by volume, giving more importance to high-volume periods.
Settings:
• VWAP Source: Price used for calculation (default: hlc3 - average of high, low, close)
• VWAP Anchor: Reset period (Session/Week/Month/Quarter/Year)
Usage:
• Price above VWAP = bullish bias
• Price below VWAP = bearish bias
• VWAP acts as dynamic support/resistance
2. VWAP Deviation Bands
What they show: Statistical boundaries around VWAP based on price volatility
Settings:
• Standard Deviation Multiplier: How far the bands extend (default: 1.0)
• Show Bands: Toggle visibility
Usage:
• Gray dashed lines: 1 standard deviation bands (normal price range)
• Red dotted lines: 2 standard deviation bands (extreme price levels)
• Price touching outer bands may indicate reversal opportunities
3. UT Bot (Ultimate Trend Bot)
What it does: Creates a trailing stop system that follows trends and signals reversals
Settings:
• Key Value: Sensitivity multiplier (1.0 = balanced, lower = more sensitive)
• ATR Period: Lookback period for volatility calculation (default: 10)
How it works:
• Uses ATR (Average True Range) to calculate dynamic support/resistance levels
• Green line = uptrend (trailing stop below price)
• Red line = downtrend (trailing stop above price)
4. UT Bot Alerts are integrated to the logic of Volume Profile i,e VWAP, the UT Bot Stop trailing line plot its data and change trends obtaining it's logic from the VWAP and Standard Deviation bands, thus it differs in it's logic of UT Bot alerts from other indicators.
Visual Elements
On-Chart Displays:
1. Blue line: VWAP
2. Gray lines: 1st deviation bands
3. Red lines: 2nd deviation bands
4. Green/Red thick line: UT Bot trailing stop

Information Table (Top Right):
• VWAP: Current VWAP value
• UT Bot: Current trailing stop level
• Trend: Bullish/Bearish status
• Price vs VWAP: Above/Below comparison
• Deviation: Percentage distance from VWAP
• Volume: Current bar volume
Trading Signals
Basic Signals:
1. UT Bot Buy: Green triangle when trend turns bullish
2. UT Bot Sell: Red triangle when trend turns bearish
3. VWAP Cross Above: Price crosses above VWAP
4. VWAP Cross Below: Price crosses below VWAP
Confluence Signals :
1. Bullish Confluence: UT Bot buy signal + Price above VWAP
2. Bearish Confluence: UT Bot sell signal + Price below VWAP
How to Use This Indicator
For Trend Following:
1. Enter long when you get a bullish confluence signal
2. Enter short when you get a bearish confluence signal
3. Exit when the UT Bot trend changes color
For Mean Reversion:
1. Look for reversals when price hits the 2nd deviation bands
2. Confirm with UT Bot signals
3. Target return to VWAP
For Support/Resistance:
1. Use VWAP as dynamic support in uptrends, resistance in downtrends
2. Watch for bounces at deviation bands
3. Confirm direction with UT Bot trend color
Best Practices
Timeframes:
• Intraday: Use Session VWAP anchor
• Swing trading: Use Weekly/Monthly anchors
• Position trading: Use Monthly/Quarterly anchors
Risk Management:
• Stop loss: Below/above the UT Bot trailing stop
• Position sizing: Smaller positions when price is at extreme deviation bands
• Confluence: Wait for both VWAP and UT Bot alignment for strongest signals
Market Conditions:
• Trending markets: Focus on UT Bot signals and VWAP direction bias
• Ranging markets: Use deviation bands for entry/exit points
• High volume periods: VWAP becomes more significant
Alert System
The indicator provides 6 types of alerts:
1. UT Bot buy/sell signals
2. VWAP crossover alerts
3. Confluence alerts (most important)
Set up alerts for confluence signals to catch the highest probability setups when both indicators align.
This indicator works best when combined with proper risk management and used in conjunction with market structure analysis. The confluence signals provide the highest probability entries, while the individual components help with market.
Advice from the publisher:
For using with Indices e.g NIFTY 50, BANKNIFTY etc. use parameters:
UT BOT Key Value : 1
UT BOT ATR Period : 10
Standard Deviation Multiplier : 1 {Default}
For using with commodities e.g NATURALGAS, CRUDEOIL etc. use parameters:
UT BOT Key Value : 2
UT BOT ATR Period : 7
Standard Deviation Multiplier : 1 {Default}
StdDev Supply/Demand Zone RefinerThis indicator uses standard deviation bands to identify statistically significant price extremes, then validates these levels through volume analysis and market structure. It employs a proprietary "Zone Refinement" technique that dynamically adjusts zones based on price interaction and volume concentration, creating increasingly precise support/resistance areas.
Key Features:
Statistical Extremes Detection: Identifies when price reaches 2+ standard deviations from mean
Volume-Weighted Zone Creation: Only creates zones at extremes with abnormal volume
Dynamic Zone Refinement: Automatically tightens zones based on touch points and volume nodes
Point of Control (POC) Identification: Finds the exact price with maximum volume within each zone
Volume Profile Visualization: Shows horizontal volume distribution to identify key liquidity levels
Multi-Factor Validation: Combines volume imbalance, zone strength, and touch count metrics
Unlike traditional support/resistance indicators that use arbitrary levels, this system:
Self-adjusts based on market volatility (standard deviation)
Refines zones through machine-learning-like feedback from price touches
Weights by volume to show where real money was positioned
Tracks zone decay - older, untested zones automatically fade
DeltaTrace ForecastDeltaTrace Forecast is a forward-looking projection tool that visualizes the probable directional path of price using a multi-timeframe momentum model rooted in volatility-adjusted nonlinear dynamics. Rather than relying on traditional indicators that react to price after the fact, DeltaTrace estimates future price motion by tracing the progression of momentum changes across expanding timeframes—then scaling those deltas using adaptive volatility to forecast a plausible path forward.
At its core, DeltaTrace constructs a momentum vector from a series of smoothed z-scores derived from increasing multiples of the current chart's timeframe. These z-scores are normalized using a hyperbolic tangent function (tanh), which compresses extreme values and emphasizes meaningful deviations without being overly sensitive to outliers. This nonlinear normalization ensures that explosive moves are weighted with less distortion, while still preserving the shape and direction of the underlying trend.
Once the z-scores are calculated for a range of 12 timeframes (from 1× the current timeframe up to 12×), the indicator computes the first difference between each adjacent pair. These differences—or deltas—represent the change in momentum from one timeframe to the next. In this structure, a strong positive delta implies momentum is strengthening as we look into higher timeframes, while a negative delta reflects waning or reversing strength.
However, not all deltas are treated equally. To make the projection adaptive to market volatility and temporally meaningful, each delta is scaled by the square root of its corresponding timeframe multiple, weighted by the ATR (Average True Range) of the base timeframe. This square-root volatility scaling mirrors the behavior of Brownian motion and reflects the natural geometric diffusion of price over time. By applying this scaling, the model tempers its forecast according to recent volatility while maintaining proportional distance over longer time horizons.
The result is a chain of projected price steps—11 in total—starting from the current closing price. These steps are cumulative, meaning each one builds upon the previous, forming a continuously adjusted polyline that represents the most recent forecast path of price. Each point in the forecast line is directional: if the next projected point is above the last, the segment is colored green (upward momentum); if below, it is colored red (downward momentum). This color coding gives immediate visual feedback on the nature of the projected path and allows for intuitive at-a-glance interpretation.
What makes DeltaTrace unique is its combination of ideas from signal processing, time-series momentum analysis, and volatility theory. Instead of relying on static support/resistance levels or lagging moving averages, it dynamically adapts to both momentum curvature and volatility structure. This allows it to be used not just for trend confirmation, but also for top-down bias fading, reversal anticipation, and path-following strategies.
Traders can use DeltaTrace in a variety of ways depending on their style:
For trend traders, a consistent upward or downward curve in the forecast suggests directional continuation and can be used for position sizing or confirmation of bias.
For mean-reversion traders, exaggerated divergence between the current price and the first few forecast points may indicate temporary exhaustion or overextension.
For scalpers or intraday traders, the short-term bend or flattening of the initial segments can reveal early signs of weakening momentum or build-up before breakout.
For swing traders, the full shape of the polyline gives an evolving map of market rhythm across time compression, allowing for context-aware decision-making.
It’s important to understand that this is a path projection tool, not a precise price target predictor. The forecast does not attempt to predict exact price levels at exact bars, but rather illustrates how the market might evolve if the current multi-timeframe momentum structure persists. Like all models, it should be interpreted probabilistically and used in conjunction with other confirmation signals, risk management tools, or strategy frameworks.
Inputs allow customization of the z-score calculation length and ATR window to tune the sensitivity of the model. The color scheme for up/down forecast segments can also be adjusted for personal preference. Additionally, users can toggle the polyline forecast on or off, which may be useful for pairing this indicator with others in a crowded chart layout.
Because the forecast path is calculated only on the last bar, it does not repaint or shift once the candle closes—preserving historical accuracy for visual inspection and backtesting reference. However, it is also sensitive to changes in volatility and momentum structure, meaning it updates each bar as conditions evolve, making it most effective in real-time decision support.
DeltaTrace Forecast is particularly well-suited for traders who want a deeper understanding of hidden momentum shifts across timeframes without relying on traditional trend-following tools. It reveals the shape of future possibility based on present dynamics, offering a compact yet powerful visualization of directional bias, transition risk, and path strength.
To maximize its utility, consider pairing DeltaTrace with volume profiles, order flow tools, higher timeframe zones, or market structure indicators. Used in context, it becomes a powerful companion to both systematic and discretionary trading styles—especially for those who appreciate a blend of mathematics and intuition in their market analysis.
This indicator is not based on magic or black-box logic; every component—from the z-score standardization to the volatility-adjusted deltas—is fully transparent and grounded in simple, interpretable mechanics. If you're looking for a reliable way to visualize multi-timeframe bias and momentum diffusion, DeltaTrace provides a unique lens through which to interpret future potential in an ever-shifting market landscape.

[MAD] FVG with LTF-POC/TPOOverview
The Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detector is a precision tool designed to automatically identify, draw, and track market inefficiencies. These gaps, also known as imbalances, often act as powerful magnets for future price action.
This indicator handles the entire lifecycle of an FVG: from its creation and extension, to the moment it is first touched, and through its entire mitigation process. To add an even deeper layer of analysis, it can now optionally plot two types of micro-analysis lines for the middle candle of the FVG pattern: a volume-based Point of Control (LTF-POC) and a time-based Time Price Opportunity (LTF-TPO). These high-precision lines pinpoint the most significant price levels within the imbalance itself.
By providing a clean and objective visualization of these critical price zones, the FVG Detector gives traders a clear framework for spotting high-probability setups and understanding how the market returns to areas of inefficiency to become balanced once again.
█ How It Works
The indicator’s logic is built on precise detection, dynamic visualization, and intelligent state tracking to provide a comprehensive view of market imbalances.
⚪ The FVG Detection Engine
At its core, the indicator uses a classic three-candle pattern to identify FVGs. This mechanical definition removes all subjectivity:
Bullish FVG: A gap is identified when the high of the first candle is lower than the low of the third candle. The space between these two prices creates the bullish FVG.
Bearish FVG: A gap is identified when the low of the first candle is higher than the high of the third candle. The space between these two prices creates the bearish FVG.
⚪ Dynamic Drawing and Mitigation
Once an FVG is detected, the indicator automatically draws a colored box to represent the gap. This box is then managed through its entire lifecycle:
Extension: If enabled, the FVG box extends forward in time with each new candle, acting as a visible, forward-looking zone of interest.
Partial Mitigation Trigger: The moment price first "touches" the gap, the box changes color to signal that it is no longer a fresh, unmitigated zone. The statistics table counts this as a "Partially Mitigated" event.
Shrinking FVG: As price moves further into the gap, the colored box dynamically shrinks, providing a real-time visual of how much of the imbalance has been filled.
Historical Outline: An optional secondary outline box is drawn to preserve the FVG's original size. This outline stops extending when the FVG is first touched, leaving a permanent historical marker.
⚪ Optional LTF Analysis for Added Precision
The indicator can look "inside" the FVG's middle candle to find its most significant price levels.
LTF-POC (Volume-Based): Using data from a lower timeframe, it analyzes the volume profile of the FVG-creating candle to find the single price level from the lower-timeframe bar with the highest trading volume.
LTF-TPO (Time-Based): It also identifies the Time Price Opportunity by dividing the candle's price range into distinct "bins." The script counts how many lower-timeframe price ticks occurred in each bin, and the TPO line is drawn at the center of the busiest bin.
Visual Confluence: These are drawn as distinct horizontal lines (defaulting to orange for POC and yellow for TPO) that extend and are managed alongside the FVG's historical outline, serving as precise levels of interest within the broader FVG zone.
█ Why This Indicator is Different
While many traders can spot FVGs manually, this indicator offers a significant edge through the possibility of the lowertimeframe analysis and showing the syntetic TPO or POCs for the relevant candles.
⚪ Automated and Objective
The market moves fast, and manually drawing FVGs is impractical and prone to error. This tool automates the entire process.
Never Miss a Gap: The detector impartially scans every three-candle sequence, ensuring no FVG is missed.
No Subjectivity: The rules for detection, mitigation, and LTF analysis are based on fixed mathematical models, removing subjective judgment.
Multi-Timeframe Clarity: The indicator works flawlessly on any timeframe, allowing you to maintain a consistent view of market structure.
⚪ Visualizing Market Memory
This tool does more than just draw boxes; it tells a story. Watching a box change color and shrink provides a visual of market dynamics in action. The optional historical outlines and LTF analysis lines build a "map" on your chart, showing where significant reactions and high-liquidity zones occurred in the past, which provides invaluable context for future price movements.
█ How to Use
⚪ Identifying High-Probability Zones
The primary use of the FVG Detector is to identify high-probability zones where price may react.
Entries: Unmitigated (fresh) FVGs can serve as powerful entry zones. Traders may look for price to return to a bullish FVG to take a long position, or to a bearish FVG to take a short position.
Targets: An FVG in your path can also act as a logical profit target. For example, if you are in a long position, you might take profit as price fills a nearby bearish FVG above you.
⚪ Confluence and Confirmation
FVGs are most powerful when they align with other forms of technical analysis. Look for FVGs that have "confluence" with:
Market Structure: A bullish FVG found at a key support level or after a bullish break of structure is a higher-probability setup.
Order Blocks: An FVG that overlaps with a bullish or bearish order block creates a very potent point of interest.
Premium/Discount Zones: FVGs found deep in a premium (for shorts) or discount (for longs) area of a trading range often yield strong reactions.
The LTF Lines (POC & TPO): Use these lines as a source of internal confluence. While the FVG gives you a zone, the POC and TPO give you precise levels within that zone. The POC shows where the highest volume was traded, while the TPO shows where price spent the most time. Confluence between these two lines can signal an extremely strong level.
█ Settings
Max Number of FVGs to Display: Controls how many active FVGs are kept on the chart to prevent clutter and maintain performance.
Extend Unmitigated FVGs: When enabled, FVG boxes will extend to the right until price touches them.
Show Bullish/Bearish FVGs: Toggles the visibility of bullish or bearish FVGs.
Show FVG Labels: Toggles the visibility of the "FVG" text labels.
Keep Mitigated Outlines: If checked, the historical outline box (and its associated POC/TPO lines) will remain on the chart even after the FVG is completely filled.
Show Statistics: Toggles the visibility of the statistics table, which tracks total, partly mitigated, and fully mitigated FVGs.
Show LTF-TPO (Time-Based): Toggles the calculation and display of the Time Price Opportunity line.
Show LTF-POC (Volume-Based): Toggles the calculation and display of the Point of Control line.
Use Custom LTF for Analysis: Check this to manually select a timeframe for the POC/TPO calculation. If unchecked, the script auto-selects a lower timeframe.
Lower Timeframe: The specific lower timeframe to use when the "Custom LTF" box is checked.
Magnifier (Bars per Slice): Controls how the script auto-selects a lower timeframe (higher number = lower timeframe). Only active when "Custom LTF" is unchecked.
█ The Logic Explained
This indicator uses a clear, rules-based system based on mathematical and conditional principles.
The 3-Candle FVG Pattern
The detection engine precisely identifies FVGs by comparing the price extremes of a three-candle sequence. For a bullish FVG, it confirms that the high of the first candle is strictly below the low of the third candle. For a bearish FVG, the low of the first candle must be strictly above the high of the third. This leaves an objective, unfilled gap in the market.
The Mitigation and Shrinking Process
Once an FVG is created, the indicator monitors it on every subsequent bar. The moment a candle's price action enters the FVG's zone, it's flagged as "partially mitigated," and its color changes. The script then continues to track how far price pushes into the gap, dynamically shrinking the box to visually represent the remaining imbalance.
Lower-Timeframe (LTF) Analysis Explained
To add precision, the indicator performs a micro-analysis of the middle candle of the FVG pattern. This is achieved by mathematically deconstructing that single candle using data from a smaller timeframe.
The lower timeframe is determined either manually or automatically via the Magnifier. The Magnifier works by dividing the chart's current timeframe. For example, on a 60-minute chart, a Magnifier of 60 tells the indicator to perform its analysis using 1-minute data (60÷60=1).
Once the LTF data is obtained, two calculations are performed:
LTF Point of Control (Volume-Based): This method seeks the price of maximum commitment. The indicator analyzes the volume of every single lower-timeframe bar within the main candle and identifies the one bar with the highest trading volume. The closing price of that specific high-volume bar is designated as the POC.
LTF Time Price Opportunity (Time-Based): This method finds the price where the market spent the most time trading. The process is a form of price distribution analysis:
The total price range (high to low) of the main candle is measured.
This range is divided into 40 equal price zones, or "bins". For a candle with a $2 range, each bin would represent a price slice of 5 cents
The indicator then counts how many of the lower-timeframe closing prices fall within each of the 40 bins.
The TPO line is drawn at the midpoint of the single bin that contained the most prices, representing the "busiest" price level.
Time-Based Drawing for Accuracy
To ensure perfect alignment across all historical data and chart reloads, all drawings are anchored to the precise timestamp of the bar, not its sequential position on the chart. This robust method guarantees that all zones remain fixed and accurate regardless of how much historical data is loaded.

Volatility HistogramCandle Size vs Volume Ratios — Interpretation & Trading Guide
1. Understanding the Ratios
Ratio 1 (Range/Volume): top histogram
Represents the candle's price range divided by the volume.
High values mean large price movement with relatively low volume.
Typically signals less conviction, possible consolidation or fake moves.
Ratio 2 (Volume/Range): bottom histogram
Represents the volume divided by the candle range.
High values mean high volume for the given price movement.
Usually indicates strong market participation and trend strength.
Negative sign often used in plots to separate it visually from Ratio 1.
2. Role of Moving Averages (MAs)
Moving averages smooth the ratios to reduce noise and highlight trend changes.
MA of Ratio 2 often leads the market movement, especially in the morning session.
MA of Ratio 1 tends to lag, confirming trend direction later in the day.
The divergence between the MAs (distance between them) indicates increasing
momentum.
Flat or converging MAs signal consolidation or low market conviction.
3. Interpreting the Relationship and Market Behavior
When Ratio 2 MA moves first and starts diverging from Ratio 1 MA, expect a
potential initiation of trend.
Ratio 1 rising while Ratio 2 remains low often signals consolidation or indecision.
High Ratio 1 with low volume suggests fake breakouts or traps.
High Ratio 2 with stable or rising price indicates strong trend and volume support.
The spread between MAs can be used as a momentum gauge.
Outside main trading hours, ratios oscillate and MAs remain flat, reflecting low
liquidity.
4. Practical Trading Tips
Use early movement in Ratio 2 MA (e.g., 8:15–9:00 AM) as a signal for upcoming
volatility.
Confirm trends later with Ratio 1 MA movement (usually 10:30–11:00 AM).
Watch for periods of high volume but flat ratios as signs of
accumulation/absorption.
Beware of high Ratio 1 values indicating potential consolidation or fake moves.
Use the spread between MAs to assess trend strength and decide entry or exit.
Combine this oscillator with price action and volume profile for best results.
5. Summary
Ratio 1 and Ratio 2 ratios combined with their moving averages offer a powerful
way to interpret price and volume interplay. Their leading-lagging behavior helps
traders anticipate volatility and confirm trends. Proper normalization and visual
scaling are essential for clear interpretation. Use these tools together to improve
timing and reduce false signals in your trading

Liquidity Trap Zones [PhenLabs]📊 Liquidity Trap Zones
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The goal of the Liquidity Trap Zones indicator is to try and help traders identify areas where market liquidity appears abundant but is actually thin or artificial, helping traders avoid potential fake outs and false breakouts. This advanced indicator analyzes the relationship between price wicks and volume to detect “mirage” zones where large price movements occur on low volume, indicating potential liquidity traps.
By highlighting these deceptive zones on your charts, the indicator helps traders recognize where institutional players might be creating artificial liquidity to trap retail traders. This enables more informed decision-making and better risk management when approaching key price levels.
🚀 Points of Innovation

💡 What Makes This Unique
First indicator to specifically target liquidity mirages using wick-to-volume analysis
Proprietary normalization ensures consistent performance across all markets
Visual gradient design makes trap zones immediately recognizable
Combines multiple volatility and volume metrics for robust detection
🔬 How It Works
1. Wick Analysis: Calculates upper and lower wicks for each bar. Normalizes by average bar size to ensure scale independence
2. Mirage Score Calculation: Divides total wick size by volume to identify thin liquidity. Applies EMA smoothing to reduce noise. Scales result for optimal visibility
3. Zone Creation: Triggers when smoothed score crosses threshold. Creates gradient boxes centered on trap bar. Sizes zones based on current ATR for market-appropriate scaling
💡 Note: Liquidity Trap Zones works best when combined with traditional support/resistance analysis and volume profile indicators. The zones highlight areas of deceptive liquidity but should not be the sole factor in trading decisions. Always use proper risk management and confirm signals with price action.

TRAPPER Volume Trigger + SMAs + Buy/Sell SplitThe TRAPPER TRIGGER is a precision-based volume spike indicator designed for intraday traders, scalpers, and swing traders who rely on key volume activity to anticipate sharp market movements. It operates on volume delta logic, detecting disproportionate buying or selling activity that signifies potential market reversals or breakouts.
How It Works:
Volume Spike Logic (Delta-Based)
The script calculates a dynamic volume threshold using a moving average of historical volume data.
It identifies a delta spike by comparing current volume against this threshold—when volume exceeds it significantly, it suggests abnormal activity.
If the candle closes higher than it opens (bullish), the script registers it as a Buy Spike ⚖️.
If the candle closes lower than it opens (bearish), it marks a Sell Spike 🏁.
These are not based on the candle’s body size but the volume differential (delta) between buy/sell pressure inferred from candle direction.
Trigger Labels
Only the most recent buy/sell spike is labeled for clarity, avoiding clutter.
Labels are color-coded to match the candle body (e.g., bright green for bullish, magenta for bearish).
Label style: ⚖️ for Buy Spikes, 🏁 for Sell Spikes.
SMA Suite (Fully Customizable):
Six SMAs: 5 (yellow), 10 (blue), 20 (green), 50 (orange), 100 (red), 200 (white).
Each can be toggled and customized in the script settings for visibility and styling.
Key Benefits
Clean, minimalistic charting — focuses only on high-probability events.
Provides delta-driven insights without requiring access to full L2 order book data.
Works across any timeframe — logic recalculates and resets zones per timeframe switch.
Designed for sniper-style entries—ideal for traders who prefer minimal noise and maximum signal clarity.
Easily extendable with SR zones, AVWAP, liquidity levels, or alerts if desired in future updates.
Who It’s For
Scalpers and intraday traders looking for clean triggers.
Swing traders wanting confirmation of institutional moves.
Volume profile enthusiasts who need a trigger alert system.
Developers who want a base volume framework to build more advanced tools on.

LTF Volume markerLTF Volume Marker
Overview:
The LTF Volume Marker highlights candles that contain volume spikes on a lower timeframe (LTF), even while you are viewing a higher timeframe chart. It is designed to help identify hidden volume activity that may not be visible when aggregating candles.
This indicator is conceptually similar to a volume profile — but instead of showing distribution across price levels, it visualizes volume clusters within the structure of a sloped trend or time-based aggregation.
Key Features:
✅ Automatically detects high-volume candles on a user-defined lower timeframe
✅ Marks the price level of volume spikes using weighted average price (VWAP) within higher timeframe bars
✅ Supports both manual threshold and auto mode (which highlights top X% of volume candles in a selected range)
✅ Fully adjustable timeframe and date range
✅ Displays either a point or an area at the spike location or together
How It Works:
You define a Lower Timeframe (e.g. 1-minute) and optionally a threshold or use the auto mode to dynamically calculate it from past data.
On higher timeframes (e.g. 5-min, 15-min), the indicator looks inside each bar, finds all volume spikes, and plots the volume-weighted average price of those spikes.
If you are on the same timeframe as the LTF, it simply highlights candles with volume exceeding the threshold.
Use Cases:
Spotting hidden volume clusters inside trending moves
Validating support/resistance levels with underlying volume
Filtering false breakouts using intra-bar volume
Enhancing scalping and intraday setups by visualizing internal structure
Notes:
The indicator ignores future-looking data (lookahead=off) and only processes completed bars.
If the chart’s timeframe is lower than the selected LTF, the indicator will automatically disable itself.
Works best with aggregated symbols, such as futures or cryptocurrencies with high resolution data.
Sri_Momentum Burst Histogram📝 Description :
🌀 Sri_Momentum Burst Histogram — A Custom Momentum and Volatility Fusion Tool
The Sri_Momentum Burst Histogram is a unique technical analysis tool designed to visualize sudden changes in price momentum in the form of a dynamic, color-coded histogram. This indicator helps traders identify trend accelerations, early momentum shifts, and potential exhaustion in real time.
By combining a MACD-like momentum engine with a volatility-sensitive Bollinger Band range, this script offers an enhanced view of market bursts — moments where momentum "pops" beyond typical ranges. The result is a refined perspective on market sentiment, helping traders to anticipate reversals, follow breakouts, and assess the relative strength of ongoing trends.
🧠 Core Methodology
The indicator calculates the difference between a fast and slow EMA (Exponential Moving Average), similar to a MACD histogram.
This difference is then compared across candles to gauge the rate of change in momentum — referred to here as a “momentum burst.”
A sensitivity multiplier allows you to scale the response based on your preferred timeframe and trading style.
A volatility band, derived from Bollinger Band logic, is used to frame the relative intensity of the momentum change.
The histogram is divided into two parts:
Green/Lime Bars represent increasing and decreasing bullish momentum.
Red/Orange Bars represent increasing and decreasing bearish momentum.
⚙️ Customizable Inputs
Momentum Sensitivity: Adjust the responsiveness of the burst detection mechanism.
Short EMA Period: Sets the lookback period for the fast EMA.
Long EMA Period: Sets the lookback period for the slow EMA.
Volatility Band Length: Controls the length used for Bollinger Band calculations.
Band Std Dev Multiplier: Adjusts how wide the volatility range should be, based on price dispersion.
📈 How to Use It
Use the green/red histogram bars to visually gauge momentum strength and direction.
Watch for transitions in color intensity (e.g., green to lime, red to orange) as early warning signs of trend exhaustion or reversal.
Combine with other indicators like RSI, MACD, ADX, or volume profiles to confirm entry/exit points.
Useful in both trending and ranging markets, especially on lower timeframes for scalping or intraday setups.

Delta AO + Regular AO (Normalized)🔀 Delta AO + Regular AO (Normalized) – Visualizing Market moods becomes simpler 🔀
🧠 Introduction
The Delta AO + Regular AO (Normalized) is a custom oscillator that fuses the power of classic momentum analysis with volume-derived delta flow to give traders a dual-perspective edge.
This tool was born from a need to better visualize internal market thrust (via delta) while still respecting the time-tested signal power of the traditional Awesome Oscillator (AO).
🔍 What makes it unique?
✅ Volume-based Delta Calculation – Models upward/downward delta using a custom volatility-weighted volume allocation method, not simple tick-delta or raw buys/sells.
✅ Cumulative Delta Candles – Instead of just plotting bars, the indicator rebuilds the market structure using cumulative delta logic.
✅ Dual AO Display – Shows both custom delta AO and traditional price AO simultaneously.
✅ Normalized Scaling – Each AO is independently normalized by its standard deviation (volatility-adjusted), making both indicators visually comparable without distortion.
🧮 Under the Hood
Let’s break down the components:
1. Delta Logic 📊
Rather than using raw delta or tick-level data, this script simulates net effort:
Delta Up = Volume × a smart weighting when the candle is bullish
Delta Down = Volume × weighting when the candle is bearish
The weighting dynamically adjusts based on candle body-to-wick ratio. This provides a more refined delta estimate based on candle structure.
This delta is accumulated (cumulative delta) and used to form a synthetic OHLC candle structure.
2. AO Calculations ⚖️
Custom AO: Calculated from the median of synthetic delta candles
Regular AO: Classic (median price 5-period SMA - 34-period SMA)
Both are normalized using their own 34-bar standard deviation, improving comparability and visualization in one pane.
3. Color Coding 🎨
For the delta AO histogram:
Lime: Bullish + Increasing Momentum
Green: Bullish + Weakening Momentum
Red: Bearish + Increasing Momentum (to the downside)
Maroon: Bearish + Weakening Momentum
This lets you immediately spot momentum shifts and strength behind volume-based moves.
📈 How to Use – Trading Guide
🔧 Recommended Setup:
Timeframe: Works well on all intraday and higher timeframes (5m–1D)
Symbol: Especially effective on liquid instruments (futures, indices, large caps)
✅ Entry Signals
🔹 Buy Setup
Delta AO turns green or lime above zero, and Regular AO is also rising
Ideal confirmation: Lime bar (strong bullish delta momentum) and a crossover above zero
🔹 Sell Setup
Delta AO turns maroon or red below zero, and Regular AO is also falling
Ideal confirmation: Red bar (strong bearish delta momentum) and AO falling further below zero
🔄 Momentum Confirmation
Look for divergence between the Delta AO and Regular AO.
🔼 If Delta AO is rising but Regular AO is flat or falling → Volume is leading price (possible breakout ahead)
🔽 If Regular AO is strong but Delta AO fades → Price may be unsustainable (fakeout risk)
🛑 Exit / Reversal Clues
Sudden color shifts (e.g., Lime → Green → Maroon) can signal momentum exhaustion
Both AOs converging to zero suggests consolidation phase ahead
📌 Pro Tips
Use this with volume profile, support/resistance, or market structure zones for maximum confluence
Works great as a secondary confirmation tool for your existing strategy
💬 Final Thoughts
This oscillator is not just a pretty double AO — it's a strategic fusion of price and volume time-series designed to help you anticipate shifts before they’re obvious in price alone.
If you're looking for:
A modernized AO
Volume-integrated signal clarity
Normalized, noise-filtered momentum visual
Then this tool belongs in your chart arsenal.
📈 Try it. Test it. Pair it. If you find value, consider sharing or following for more next-gen indicators.
Please note this is an educational idea and past performance is not assurance of future performance.
Happy trading!
