MTF OB & FVG detector w/ Alerts v2# MTF Order Blocks & Fair Value Gaps Detector with Alerts v2
## Overview
This indicator combines **Multi-Timeframe Order Blocks (OB)** and **Fair Value Gaps (FVG)** detection with integrated bounce alerts. It displays Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps across multiple timeframes simultaneously and generates real-time alerts when price bounces from these critical zones.
## Key Features
### 🎯 Multi-Timeframe Order Blocks Detection
- **Volumetric Analysis**: Each Order Block displays total volume and dominant side percentage
- **Multiple Timeframes**: Supports 1min, 3min, 5min, 15min, and 60min timeframes
- **Smart Combining**: Automatically merges overlapping Order Blocks from different timeframes into powerful confluence zones
- **Dynamic Extension**: Order Blocks extend until broken, providing clear visual guidance
- **Volume Distribution**: Shows bullish vs bearish volume breakdown with percentage
### 📊 Fair Value Gaps (FVG) Detection
- **Lightweight Processing**: Works on current chart timeframe only for optimal performance
- **Volume Metrics**: Displays FVG volume and dominant side percentage
- **Mitigation Tracking**: Automatically tracks when FVGs are filled or broken
- **Customizable Mitigation Source**: Choose between close price or high/low wicks
### 🔔 Comprehensive Alert System
- **Bounce Alerts**: Get notified when price bounces from OB or FVG zones
- **New Formation Alerts**: Alerts when new Order Blocks or Fair Value Gaps form
- **Combined Zone Alerts**: Special alerts when multiple Order Blocks merge into strong confluence zones
- **Customizable Thresholds**: Set minimum number of combined OBs required for strong zone alerts
### 🎨 Visual Customization
- **Inverted Color Schemes**: Optional inverted colors for both OB and FVG
- OB: Choose between traditional (Bullish=Blue, Bearish=Red) or inverted (Bullish=Red, Bearish=Blue)
- FVG: Choose between Bullish=Orange/Bearish=Aqua or inverted
- **Clean Labels**: Shows timeframe, zone type, volume, and dominant percentage
- **Combined Tags**: Optional labels for merged zones
- **Adjustable Extension**: Control how far zones extend into the future
## How It Works
### Order Blocks
Order Blocks identify institutional trading zones where large players have placed significant orders. The indicator:
1. Detects swing highs/lows using configurable swing length
2. Identifies the last opposing candle before a strong move
3. Analyzes volume distribution (bullish vs bearish)
4. Tracks zone validity until price breaks through
5. Combines overlapping zones from multiple timeframes
### Fair Value Gaps
Fair Value Gaps represent price imbalances that often get filled. The indicator:
1. Identifies 3-candle patterns with gaps between candles
2. Filters gaps by size percentile to show only significant ones
3. Calculates volume distribution within the gap
4. Tracks mitigation when price returns to fill the gap
5. Extends gaps dynamically until filled
### Bounce Detection
The indicator detects bounces using a two-step process:
1. **Touch Phase**: Tracks when price enters a zone (touchedInside flag)
2. **Bounce Phase**: Confirms bounce when price exits the zone in the expected direction
- Bullish zones: Price closes above top after touching inside
- Bearish zones: Price closes below bottom after touching inside

Every Hour 1st/Last FVG vTDL OVERVIEW - Shoutout to Micheal J. Huddleston aka ICT
This indicator identifies the first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms within each trading hour, providing traders with potential entry zones, reversal points, and unmitigated gap targets. Based on the concept that the first presented FVG of each hour represents a significant price delivery array where institutional order flow occurred.
The indicator detects FVGs on a lower timeframe (1-minute default) and displays them as boxes on your chart, tracking which gaps get filled and which remain open as potential draw-on-liquidity targets.
WHAT IS A FAIR VALUE GAP
A Fair Value Gap is a 3-candle price pattern representing an imbalance between buyers and sellers:
Bullish FVG: Forms when candle 3's low is above candle 1's high, leaving a gap
Bearish FVG: Forms when candle 3's high is below candle 1's low, leaving a gap
These gaps often act as magnets for price, which tends to return and "fill" the imbalance before continuing. They function as dynamic support and resistance zones.
KEY FEATURES
Detection Types
FVG: Standard fair value gap detection with volume imbalance expansion
Suspension FVG Blocks: Requires outside prints on both sides for more refined signals
Hourly Display Modes
First Only: Shows whichever FVG appears first each hour (bullish or bearish)
Show Both: Shows first bullish AND first bearish FVG independently each hour
Last FVG Tracking
Optionally display the last FVG of each hour
Useful for comparing how the hour developed
Can extend into the next hour for continued tracking
Breakaway Gap Detection
Gaps not traded into during their formation hour extend forward
Extended gaps display labels showing formation time and date
These unmitigated gaps become price targets and reversal zones
Gap Fill Modes
Touch Box: Marks filled when price enters the gap
Touch Midpoint: Marks filled when price reaches the 50 percent level
Fill Completely: Marks filled when price fills the entire gap with visual progress
HOW TO USE
Entry Points
The first FVG of each hour provides potential entry zones based on price reaction:
When price returns to an FVG and shows rejection, enter in the direction of rejection
The gap zone represents where institutional orders likely reside
Use the boundaries of the gap for stop loss placement
A clean rejection of the zone confirms it as valid support or resistance
Reversal Points
Unmitigated gaps that extend beyond their formation hour are high-probability reaction zones:
Extended boxes with labels indicate unfilled gaps
When price finally reaches these zones, expect a reaction
The longer a gap remains unfilled, the stronger the expected response
These zones act as magnets drawing price back to them
Price Targets
Use unmitigated gaps as draw-on-liquidity targets:
Look for extended boxes above or below current price
Price tends to seek out and fill imbalances
The midpoint line often serves as a minimum target
Multiple unfilled gaps in one direction suggest strong momentum potential
FRAMING DIRECTIONAL BIAS
The first presented FVG of each hour acts as a support or resistance zone. The direction of the FVG itself does not determine bias - it is how price reacts to that FVG that reveals the true market intention.
Reading Price Reaction
Price respects a bullish FVG as support and bounces higher = bullish bias confirmed
Price respects a bearish FVG as resistance and rejects lower = bearish bias confirmed
Price fails to hold a bullish FVG and breaks through = potential inversion, look for shorts
Price fails to hold a bearish FVG and breaks through = potential inversion, look for longs
Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVG)
When price trades through an FVG and closes beyond it, that gap can invert its role:
A bullish FVG that fails becomes resistance - use it as a short entry zone
A bearish FVG that fails becomes support - use it as a long entry zone
The inversion signals a shift in control from one side to the other
Watch for price to retest the inverted gap before continuing
Support and Resistance Framework
Think of each hourly first FVG as a key level:
Price above the FVG: the gap acts as potential support
Price below the FVG: the gap acts as potential resistance
Watch how price behaves when it returns to the gap zone
A clean rejection confirms the level; a break through signals inversion
SHORT-TERM SCALPING APPLICATION
These FVGs provide scalping opportunities each hour:
Identify the first FVG of the hour as your key level
Wait for price to trade away from it and return
Observe the reaction at the gap zone
Enter in the direction of the reaction with tight risk
Target the next FVG, midpoint, or nearby liquidity
Trade Management
Use the opposite side of the FVG box as your stop loss zone
The midpoint of the gap often provides first target or decision point
Scale out at nearby unmitigated gaps or key levels
If the gap inverts, flip your bias and look for entries in the new direction
MULTI-HOUR CONTEXT
If price consistently respects FVGs as support across hours = uptrend context
If price consistently respects FVGs as resistance across hours = downtrend context
If FVGs keep inverting = choppy or transitional market
Use higher timeframe direction to filter which reactions to trade
Compare first and last FVG of each hour to see how momentum developed
SESSION FILTERING
The indicator automatically excludes unreliable periods:
4 PM to 5 PM New York time (market close hours 16-17)
Weekend closed periods (Saturday and Sunday before 6 PM)
All timestamps use New York timezone for consistency with futures market hours.

All colors are fully customizable in the settings menu.
PRACTICAL TIPS
The first FVG of each hour is a hidden PD array - treat it as a significant level
Not every gap produces a tradeable reaction - wait for confirmation
Gaps that remain unfilled for multiple hours carry more weight
Use the Show Both mode to see both bullish and bearish opportunities each hour
When multiple gaps cluster in one zone, that area becomes even more significant
Inversions are powerful signals - a failed level often leads to acceleration
NOTES
Works on any instrument and timeframe
Best used on intraday charts (1 minute to 15 minute) viewing 1 minute LTF gaps
Combine with higher timeframe analysis for confluence
These are probability zones, not guarantees - always use proper risk management
The indicator handles HTF to LTF data fetching automatically
Mars Signals - Ultimate Institutional Suite v3.0(Joker)Comprehensive Trading Manual
Mars Signals – Ultimate Institutional Suite v3.0 (Joker)
## Chapter 1 – Philosophy & System Architecture
This script is not a simple “buy/sell” indicator.
Mars Signals – UIS v3.0 (Joker) is designed as an institutional-style analytical assistant that layers several methodologies into a single, coherent framework.
The system is built on four core pillars:
1. Smart Money Concepts (SMC)
- Detection of Order Blocks (professional demand/supply zones).
- Detection of Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) (price imbalances).
2. Smart DCA Strategy
- Combination of RSI and Bollinger Bands
- Identifies statistically discounted zones for scaling into spot positions or exiting shorts.
3. Volume Profile (Visible Range Simulation)
- Distribution of volume by price, not by time.
- Identification of POC (Point of Control) and high-/low-volume areas.
4. Wyckoff Helper – Spring
- Detection of bear traps, liquidity grabs, and sharp bullish reversals.
All four pillars feed into a Confluence Engine (Scoring System).
The final output is presented in the Dashboard, with a clear, human-readable signal:
- STRONG LONG 🚀
- WEAK LONG ↗
- NEUTRAL / WAIT
- WEAK SHORT ↘
- STRONG SHORT 🩸
This allows the trader to see *how many* and *which* layers of the system support a bullish or bearish bias at any given time.
## Chapter 2 – Settings Overview
### 2.1 General & Dashboard Group
- Show Dashboard Panel (`show_dash`)
Turns the dashboard table in the corner of the chart ON/OFF.
- Show Signal Recommendation (`show_rec`)
- If enabled, the textual signal (STRONG LONG, WEAK SHORT, etc.) is displayed.
- If disabled, you only see feature status (ON/OFF) and the current price.
- Dashboard Position (`dash_pos`)
Determines where the dashboard appears on the chart:
- `Top Right`
- `Bottom Right`
- `Top Left`
### 2.2 Smart Money (SMC) Group
- Enable SMC Strategy (`show_smc`)
Globally enables or disables the Order Block and FVG logic.
- Order Block Pivot Lookback (`ob_period`)
Main parameter for detecting key pivot highs/lows (swing points).
- Default value: 5
- Concept:
A bar is considered a pivot low if its low is lower than the lows of the previous 5 and the next 5 bars.
Similarly, a pivot high has a high higher than the previous 5 and the next 5 bars.
These pivots are used as anchors for Order Blocks.
- Increasing `ob_period`:
- Fewer levels.
- But levels tend to be more significant and reliable.
- In highly volatile markets (major news, war events, FOMC, etc.),
using values 7–10 is recommended to filter out weak levels.
- Show Fair Value Gaps (`show_fvg`)
Enables/disables the drawing of FVG zones (imbalances).
- Bullish OB Color (`c_ob_bull`)
- Color of Bullish Order Blocks (Demand Zones).
- Default: semi-transparent green (transparency ≈ 80).
- Bearish OB Color (`c_ob_bear`)
- Color of Bearish Order Blocks (Supply Zones).
- Default: semi-transparent red.
- Bullish FVG Color (`c_fvg_bull`)
- Color of Bullish FVG (upward imbalance), typically yellow.
- Bearish FVG Color (`c_fvg_bear`)
- Color of Bearish FVG (downward imbalance), typically purple.
### 2.3 Smart DCA Strategy Group
- Enable DCA Zones (`show_dca`)
Enables the Smart DCA logic and visual labels.
- RSI Length (`rsi_len`)
Lookback period for RSI (default: 14).
- Shorter → more sensitive, more noise.
- Longer → fewer signals, higher reliability.
- Bollinger Bands Length (`bb_len`)
Moving average period for Bollinger Bands (default: 20).
- BB Multiplier (`bb_mult`)
Standard deviation multiplier for Bollinger Bands (default: 2.0).
- For extremely volatile markets, values like 2.5–3.0 can be used so that only extreme deviations trigger a DCA signal.
### 2.4 Volume Profile (Visible Range Sim) Group
- Show Volume Profile (`show_vp`)
Enables the simulated Volume Profile bars on the right side of the chart.
- Volume Lookback Bars (`vp_lookback`)
Number of bars used to compute the Volume Profile (default: 150).
- Higher values → broader historical context, heavier computation.
- Row Count (`vp_rows`)
Number of vertical price segments (rows) to divide the total price range into (default: 30).
- Width (%) (`vp_width`)
Relative width of each volume bar as a percentage.
In the code, bar widths are scaled relative to the row with the maximum volume.
> Technical note: Volume Profile calculations are executed only on the last bar (`barstate.islast`) to keep the script performant even on higher timeframes.
### 2.5 Wyckoff Helper Group
- Show Wyckoff Events (`show_wyc`)
Enables detection and plotting of Wyckoff Spring events.
- Volume MA Length (`vol_ma_len`)
Length of the moving average on volume.
A bar is considered to have Ultra Volume if its volume is more than 2× the volume MA.
## Chapter 3 – Smart Money Strategy (Order Blocks & FVG)
### 3.1 What Is an Order Block?
An Order Block (OB) represents the footprint of large institutional orders:
- Bullish Order Block (Demand Zone)
The last selling region (bearish candle/cluster) before a strong upward move.
- Bearish Order Block (Supply Zone)
The last buying region (bullish candle/cluster) before a strong downward move.
Institutions and large players place heavy orders in these regions. Typical price behavior:
- Price moves away from the zone.
- Later returns to the same zone to fill unfilled orders.
- Then continues the larger trend.
In the script:
- If `pl` (pivot low) forms → a Bullish OB is created.
- If `ph` (pivot high) forms → a Bearish OB is created.
The box is drawn:
- From `bar_index ` to `bar_index`.
- Between `low ` and `high `.
- `extend=extend.right` extends the OB into the future, so it acts as a dynamic support/resistance zone.
- Only the last 4 OB boxes are kept to avoid clutter.
### 3.2 Order Block Color Guide
- Semi-transparent Green (`c_ob_bull`)
- Represents a Bullish Order Block (Demand Zone).
- Interpretation: a price region with a high probability of bullish reaction.
- Semi-transparent Red (`c_ob_bear`)
- Represents a Bearish Order Block (Supply Zone).
- Interpretation: a price region with a high probability of bearish reaction.
Overlap (Multiple OBs in the Same Area)
When two or more Order Blocks overlap:
- The shared area appears visually denser/stronger.
- This suggests higher order density.
- Such zones can be treated as high-priority levels for entries, exits, and stop-loss placement.
### 3.3 Demand/Supply Logic in the Scoring Engine
is_in_demand = low <= ta.lowest(low, 20)
is_in_supply = high >= ta.highest(high, 20)
- If current price is near the lowest lows of the last 20 bars, it is considered in a Demand Zone → positive impact on score.
- If current price is near the highest highs of the last 20 bars, it is considered in a Supply Zone → negative impact on score.
This logic complements Order Blocks and helps the Dashboard distinguish whether:
- Market is currently in a statistically cheap (long-friendly) area, or
- In a statistically expensive (short-friendly) area.
### 3.4 Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
#### Concept
When the market moves aggressively:
- Some price levels are skipped and never traded.
- A gap between wicks/shadows of consecutive candles appears.
- These regions are called Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) or Imbalances.
The market generally “dislikes” imbalance and often:
- Returns to these zones in the future.
- Fills the gap (rebalance).
- Then resumes its dominant direction.
#### Implementation in the Code
Bullish FVG (Yellow)
fvg_bull_cond = show_smc and show_fvg and low > high and close > high
if fvg_bull_cond
box.new(bar_index , high , bar_index, low, ...)
Core condition:
`low > high ` → the current low is above the high of two bars ago; the space between them is an untraded gap.
Bearish FVG (Purple)
fvg_bear_cond = show_smc and show_fvg and high < low and close < low
if fvg_bear_cond
box.new(bar_index , low , bar_index, high, ...)
Core condition:
`high < low ` → the current high is below the low of two bars ago; again a price gap exists.
#### FVG Color Guide
- Transparent Yellow (`c_fvg_bull`) – Bullish FVG
Often acts like a magnet for price:
- Price tends to retrace into this zone,
- Fill the imbalance,
- And then continue higher.
- Transparent Purple (`c_fvg_bear`) – Bearish FVG
Price tends to:
- Retrace upward into the purple area,
- Fill the imbalance,
- And then resume downward movement.
#### Trading with FVGs
- FVGs are *not* standalone entry signals.
They are best used as:
- Targets (take-profit zones), or
- Reaction areas where you expect a pause or reversal.
Examples:
- If you are long, a bearish FVG above is often an excellent take-profit zone.
- If you are short, a bullish FVG below is often a good cover/exit zone.
### 3.5 Core SMC Trading Templates
#### Reversal Long
1. Price trades down into a green Order Block (Demand Zone).
2. A bullish confirmation candle (Close > Open) forms inside or just above the OB.
3. If this zone is close to or aligned with a bullish FVG (yellow), the signal is reinforced.
4. Entry:
- At the close of the confirmation candle, or
- Using a limit order near the upper boundary of the OB.
5. Stop-loss:
- Slightly below the OB.
- If the OB is broken decisively and price consolidates below it, the zone loses validity.
6. Targets:
- The next FVG,
- Or the next red Order Block (Supply Zone) above.
#### Reversal Short
The mirror scenario:
- Price rallies into a red Order Block (Supply).
- A bearish confirmation candle forms (Close < Open).
- FVG/premium structure above can act as a confluence.
- Stop-loss goes above the OB.
- Targets: lower FVGs or subsequent green OBs below.
## Chapter 4 – Smart DCA Strategy (RSI + Bollinger Bands)
### 4.1 Smart DCA Concept
- Classic DCA = buying at fixed time intervals regardless of price.
- Smart DCA = scaling in only when:
- Price is statistically cheaper than usual, and
- The market is in a clear oversold condition.
Code logic:
rsi_val = ta.rsi(close, rsi_len)
= ta.bb(close, bb_len, bb_mult)
dca_buy = show_dca and rsi_val < 30 and close < bb_lower
dca_sell = show_dca and rsi_val > 70 and close > bb_upper
Conditions:
- DCA Buy – Smart Scale-In Zone
- RSI < 30 → oversold.
- Close < lower Bollinger Band → price has broken below its typical volatility envelope.
- DCA Sell – Overbought/Distribution Zone
- RSI > 70 → overbought.
- Close > upper Bollinger Band → price is extended far above the mean.
### 4.2 Visual Representation on the Chart
- Green “DCA” Label Below Candle
- Shape: `labelup`.
- Color: lime background, white text.
- Meaning: statistically attractive level for laddered spot entries or short exits.
- Red “SELL” Label Above Candle
- Warning that the market is in an extended, overbought condition.
- Suitable for profit-taking on longs or considering short entries (with proper confluence and risk management).
- Light Green Background (`bgcolor`)
- When `dca_buy` is true, the candle background turns very light green (high transparency).
- This helps visually identify DCA Zones across the chart at a glance.
### 4.3 Practical Use in Trading
#### Spot Trading
Used to build a better average entry price:
- Every time a DCA label appears, allocate a fixed portion of capital (e.g., 2–5%).
- Combining DCA signals with:
- Green OBs (Demand Zones), and/or
- The Volume Profile POC
makes the zone structurally more important.
#### Futures Trading
- Longs
- Use DCA Buy signals as low-risk zones for opening or adding to longs when:
- Price is inside a green OB, or
- The Dashboard already leans LONG.
- Shorts
- Use DCA Sell signals as:
- Exit zones for longs, or
- Areas to initiate shorts with stops above structural highs.
## Chapter 5 – Volume Profile (Visible Range Simulation)
### 5.1 Concept
Traditional volume (histogram under the chart) shows volume over time.
Volume Profile shows volume by price level:
- At which prices has the highest trading activity occurred?
- Where did buyers and sellers agree the most (High Volume Nodes – HVNs)?
- Where did price move quickly due to low participation (Low Volume Nodes – LVNs)?
### 5.2 Implementation in the Script
Executed only when `show_vp` is enabled and on the last bar:
1. The last `vp_lookback` bars (default 150) are processed.
2. The minimum low and maximum high over this window define the price range.
3. This price range is divided into `vp_rows` segments (e.g., 30 rows).
4. For each row:
- All bars are scanned.
- If the mid-price `(high + low ) / 2` falls inside a row, that bar’s volume is added to the row total.
5. The row with the greatest volume is stored as `max_vol_idx` (the POC row).
6. For each row, a volume box is drawn on the right side of the chart.
### 5.3 Color Scheme
- Semi-transparent Orange
- The row with the maximum volume – the Point of Control (POC).
- Represents the strongest support/resistance level from a volume perspective.
- Semi-transparent Blue
- Other volume rows.
- The taller the bar → the higher the volume → the stronger the interest at that price band.
### 5.4 Trading Applications
- If price is above POC and retraces back into it:
→ POC often acts as support, suitable for long setups.
- If price is below POC and rallies into it:
→ POC often acts as resistance, suitable for short setups or profit-taking.
HVNs (Tall Blue Bars)
- Represent areas of equilibrium where the market has spent time and traded heavily.
- Price tends to consolidate here before choosing a direction.
LVNs (Short or Nearly Empty Bars)
- Represent low participation zones.
- Price often moves quickly through these areas – useful for targeting fast moves.
## Chapter 6 – Wyckoff Helper – Spring
### 6.1 Spring Concept
In the Wyckoff framework:
- A Spring is a false break of support.
- The market briefly trades below a well-defined support level, triggers stop losses,
then sharply reverses upward as institutional buyers absorb liquidity.
This movement:
- Clears out weak hands (retail sellers).
- Provides large players with liquidity to enter long positions.
- Often initiates a new uptrend.
### 6.2 Code Logic
Conditions for a Spring:
1. The current low is lower than the lowest low of the previous 50 bars
→ apparent break of a long-standing support.
2. The bar closes bullish (Close > Open)
→ the breakdown was rejected.
3. Volume is significantly elevated:
→ `volume > 2 × volume_MA` (Ultra Volume).
When all conditions are met and `show_wyc` is enabled:
- A pink diamond is plotted below the bar,
- With the label “Spring” – one of the strongest long signals in this system.
### 6.3 Trading Use
- After a valid Spring, markets frequently enter a meaningful bullish phase.
- The highest quality setups occur when:
- The Spring forms inside a green Order Block, and
- Near or on the Volume Profile POC.
Entries:
- At the close of the Spring bar, or
- On the first pullback into the mid-range of the Spring candle.
Stop-loss:
- Slightly below the Spring’s lowest point (wick low plus a small buffer).
## Chapter 7 – Confluence Engine & Dashboard
### 7.1 Scoring Logic
For each bar, the script:
1. Resets `score` to 0.
2. Adjusts the score based on different signals.
SMC Contribution
if show_smc
if is_in_demand
score += 1

Multiple bullish conditions aligned.
- score = 1 → WEAK LONG ↗
Some bullish bias, but only one layer clearly positive.
- score = 0 → NEUTRAL / WAIT
Rough balance between buying and selling forces; staying flat is usually preferable.
- score = -1 → WEAK SHORT ↘
Mild bearish bias, suited for cautious or short-term plays.
- score ≤ -2 → STRONG SHORT 🩸
Convergence of several bearish signals.

## Chapter 9 – Timeframe-Based Trading Playbook
### 9.1 Timeframe Selection
- Scalping
- Timeframes: 1M, 5M, 15M
- Objective: fast intraday moves (minutes to a few hours).
- Recommendation: focus on SMC + Wyckoff.
Smart DCA on very low timeframes may introduce excessive noise.
- Day Trading
- Timeframes: 15M, 1H, 4H
- Provides a good balance between signal quality and frequency.
- Recommendation: use the full stack – SMC + DCA + Volume Profile + Wyckoff + Dashboard.
- Swing Trading & Position Investing
- Timeframes: Daily, Weekly
- Emphasis on Smart DCA + Volume Profile.
- SMC and Wyckoff are used mainly to fine-tune swing entries within larger trends.
### 9.2 Scenario A – Scalping Long
Example: 5-Minute Chart
1. Price is declining into a green OB (Bullish Demand).
2. A candle with a long lower wick and bullish close (Pin Bar / Rejection) forms inside the OB.
3. A Spring diamond appears below the same candle → very strong confluence.
4. The Dashboard shows at least WEAK LONG ↗, ideally STRONG LONG 🚀.
5. Entry:
- On the close of the confirmation candle, or
- On the first pullback into the mid-range of that candle.
6. Stop-loss:
- Slightly below the OB.
7. Targets:
- Nearby bearish FVG above, and/or
- The next red OB.
### 9.3 Scenario B – Day-Trading Short
Recommended Timeframes: 1H or 4H
1. The market completes a strong impulsive move upward.
2. Price enters a red Order Block (Supply).
3. In the same zone, a purple FVG appears or remains unfilled.
4. On a lower timeframe (e.g., 15M), RSI enters overbought territory and a DCA Sell signal appears.
5. The main timeframe Dashboard (1H) shows WEAK SHORT ↘ or STRONG SHORT 🩸.
Trade Plan
- Open a short near the upper boundary of the red OB.
- Place the stop above the OB or above the last swing high.
- Targets:
- A yellow FVG lower on the chart, and/or
- The next green OB (Demand) below.
### 9.4 Scenario C – Swing / Investment with Smart DCA
Timeframes: Daily / Weekly
1. On the daily or weekly chart, each time a green “DCA” label appears:
- Allocate a fixed fraction of your capital (e.g., 3–5%) to that asset.
2. Check whether this DCA zone aligns with the orange POC of the Volume Profile:
- If yes → the quality of the entry zone is significantly higher.
3. If the DCA signal sits inside a daily green OB, the probability of a medium-term bottom increases.
4. Always build the position laddered, never all-in at a single price.
Exits for investors:
- Near weekly red OBs or large purple FVG zones.
- Ideally via partial profit-taking rather than closing 100% at once.
### 9.5 Case Study 1 – BTCUSDT (15-Minute)
- Context: Price has sold off down towards 65,000 USD.
- A green OB had previously formed at that level.
- Near the lower boundary of this OB, a partially filled yellow FVG is present.
- As price returns to this region, a Spring appears.
- The Dashboard shifts from NEUTRAL / WAIT to WEAK LONG ↗.
Plan
- Enter a long near the OB low.
- Place stop below the Spring low.
- First target: a purple FVG around 66,200.
- Second (optional) target: the first red OB above that level.
### 9.6 Case Study 2 – Meme Coin (PEPE – 4H)
- After a strong pump, price enters a corrective phase.
- On the 4H chart, RSI drops below 30; price breaks below the lower Bollinger Band → a DCA label prints.
- The Volume Profile shows the POC at approximately the same level.
- The Dashboard displays STRONG LONG 🚀.
Plan
- Execute laddered buys in the combined DCA + POC zone.
- Place a protective stop below the last significant swing low.
- Target: an expected 20–30% upside move towards the next red OB or purple FVG.
## Chapter 10 – Risk Management, Psychology & Advanced Tuning
### 10.1 Risk Management
No signal, regardless of its strength, replaces risk control.
Recommendations:
- In futures, do not expose more than 1–3% of account equity to risk per trade.
- Adjust leverage to the volatility of the instrument (lower leverage for highly volatile altcoins).
- Place stop-losses in zones where the idea is clearly invalidated:
- Below/above the relevant Order Block or Spring, not randomly in the middle of the structure.
### 10.2 Market-Specific Parameter Tuning
- Calmer Markets (e.g., major FX pairs)
- `ob_period`: 3–5.
- `bb_mult`: 2.0 is usually sufficient.
- Highly Volatile Markets (Crypto, news-driven assets)
- `ob_period`: 7–10 to highlight only the most robust OBs.
- `bb_mult`: 2.5–3.0 so that only extreme deviations trigger DCA.
- `vol_ma_len`: increase (e.g., to ~30) so that Spring triggers only on truly exceptional
volume spikes.
### 10.3 Trading Psychology
- STRONG LONG 🚀 does not mean “risk-free”.
It means the probability of a successful long, given the model’s logic, is higher than average.
- Treat Mars Signals as a confirmation and context system, not a full replacement for your own decision-making.
- Example of disciplined thinking:
- The Dashboard prints STRONG LONG,
- But price is simultaneously testing a multi-month macro resistance or a major negative news event is imminent,
- In such cases, trade smaller, widen stops appropriately, or skip the trade.
## Chapter 11 – Technical Notes & FAQ
### 11.1 Does the Script Repaint?
- Order Blocks and Springs are based on completed pivot structures and confirmed candles.
- Until a pivot is confirmed, an OB does not exist; after confirmation, behavior is stable under classic SMC assumptions.
- The script is designed to be structurally consistent rather than repainting signals arbitrarily.
### 11.2 Computational Load of Volume Profile
- On the last bar, the script processes up to `vp_lookback` bars × `vp_rows` rows.
- On very low timeframes with heavy zooming, this can become demanding.
- If you experience performance issues:
- Reduce `vp_lookback` or `vp_rows`, or
- Temporarily disable Volume Profile (`show_vp = false`).
### 11.3 Multi-Timeframe Behavior
- This version of the script is not internally multi-timeframe.
All logic (OB, DCA, Spring, Volume Profile) is computed on the active timeframe only.
- Practical workflow:
- Analyze overall structure and key zones on higher timeframes (4H / Daily).
- Use lower timeframes (15M / 1H) with the same tool for timing entries and exits.
## Conclusion
Mars Signals – Ultimate Institutional Suite v3.0 (Joker) is a multi-layer trading framework that unifies:

Used together with strict risk management and disciplined execution,
Mars Signals – UIS v3.0 (Joker) can serve as a central reference manual and operational guide
for your trading workflow, from scalping to swing and investment positioning.
Optimus trader Optimus Trader
Indicator Description:
The Optimus Trader indicator is designed for technical traders looking for entry and exit points in financial markets. It combines signals based on volume, moving averages, VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price), as well as the recognition of candlestick patterns such as Pin Bar and Inside Bars. This indicator helps identify opportune moments to buy or sell based on trends, volumes, and recent liquidity zones.
Parameters and Features:
1. Simple Moving Average (MA) and VWAP:
- Optimus Trader uses a 50-period simple moving average to determine the underlying trend. It also includes VWAP for precise price analysis based on traded volumes.
- These two indicators help identify whether the market is in an uptrend or downtrend, enhancing the reliability of buy and sell signals.
2. Volume :
- To avoid false signals, a volume threshold is set using a 20-period moving average, adjusted to 1.2 times the average volume. This filters signals by considering only high-volume periods, indicating heightened market interest.
3. Candlestick Pattern Recognition:
- Pin Bar: This sought-after candlestick pattern is detected for both bullish and bearish setups. A bullish or bearish *Pin Bar* often signals a possible reversal or continuation.
- *Inside Bar*: This price compression pattern is also detected, indicating a zone of indecision before a potential movement.
4. Trend:
- An uptrend is confirmed when the price is above the MA and VWAP, while a downtrend is identified when the price is below both indicators.
5. Liquidity Zones:
- Optimus Trader includes an approximate liquidity zone detection feature. By identifying recent support and resistance levels, the indicator detects if the price is near these zones. This feature strengthens the relevance of buy or sell signals.
6. Buy and Sell Signals:
- Buy: A buy signal is generated when the indicator detects a bullish *Pin Bar* or *Inside Bar* in an uptrend with high volume, and the price is close to a liquidity zone.
- Sell: A sell signal is generated when a bearish *Pin Bar* or *Inside Bar* is detected in a downtrend with high volume, and the price is near a liquidity zone.
Signal Display:
The signals are visible directly on the chart:
- A "BUY" label in green is displayed below the bar for buy signals.
- A "SELL" label in red is displayed above the bar for sell signals.
Summary:
This indicator is intended for traders seeking precise entry and exit points by integrating trend analysis, volume, and candlestick patterns. With liquidity zones, *Optimus Trader* helps minimize false signals, providing clear and accurate alerts.

Machine Learning: Support and Resistance [YinYangAlgorithms]Overview:
Support and Resistance is normally based upon Pivot Points and Highest Highs and Lowest Lows. Many times coders even incorporate Volume, RSI and other factors into the equation. However there may be a downside to doing a pure technical approach based on historical levels. We live in a time where Machine Learning is becoming more and more used; thus we have decided to create a Machine Learning Support and Resistance Projection based Indicator. Rather than using traditional Support and Resistance calculations using historical data, we have taken a rather different approach. This Indicator instead attempts to Predict and Project where Support and Resistance locations will be based on a Machine Learning Model using a form of KNN (k-Nearest Neighbors).
Since this indicator creates a Projection of where it deems Support and Resistance will be, it has the ability to move its Support and Resistance before the price even gets to it if it believes it will surpass its projections. This may create a more accurate placement of Support and Resistance as they’re not based on historical levels.
This Indicator does not Repaint.
How it works:
This Indicator makes its projections based on the source you provide (by default close) of the previous bar and submits the source, RSI and EMA to our Projection Function to get its projection of the current bar.
The Projection function essentially calculates potential movement after finding the differences between the source the MA from the current bar, previous bar and average over the span of Machine Learning Length.
Potential movement is defined as:
Average Difference + Average(Machine Learning Average, Average Last Distance)
Average Difference: (Absolute value of Current Source - Current MA) - (Absolute value of Machine Learning Average - Machine Learning MA)
Average Last Distance: Average(Current Source - Current MA, Previous Source - Previous MA)
It then predicts the next bars directional movement (bullish or bearish bar) using several factors:
Previous Source > Previous MA
Current Source - Current MA > Average Source - Average MA
Current RSI > Previous RSI
Current RSI > 30 and Previous RSI <= 30
Current RSI < 70 and Previous RSI >= 70
This helps us to predict the direction the next bar may move.
We then calculate a multiplier that we apply to our Potential Movement value to get our final result which is our Current Bars Close Projection.
Our multiplier is calculated using:
(Current RSI > 30 and Previous RSI <= 30) OR (Current RSI < 70 and Previous RSI >= 70)
Current Source - Current MA > Previous Source - Previous MA
We then create an array and fill it with the previous X projections (Machine Learning Length) and send it to another function. This function, if told to, will sort the data accordingly and then output the KNN average of the length given.
We calculate and plot various KNN lengths to create different Zones:
Strong Support: Length of 2 but sort the data Ascending (low to high)
Strong Resistance: Length of 2 but sort the data Descending (high to low)
Support: Length of Machine Length Length / 10 or Min of 2 sorted by Ascending
Resistance: Length of Machine Length Length / 10 or Min of 2 sorted by Descending
There are also 4 other plots you may be wondering what they are, there is your AVG, VWMA, Long Term Memory and Current Projection.
By default your Current Projection is disabled in settings but you can enable it if you are curious to see how the projections for each close are calculated. It is, however, not a crucial point of interest (white line).
The average is simply the average value of the Machine Learning Data (purple line).
The VWMA is a VWMA calculation applied to our Data over a length specified in settings (by default 1)(blue line). The VWMA is crucial when combined with the Avg as they can cross over and under each other. These crosses represent potential Bullish and Bearish zones.
Lastly, but certainly not least, we have the Long Term Memory (maroon line). The Long Term Memory can be displayed either as an ‘Average’, ‘Hard Line’ or ‘None’. The Long Term Average is only updated every Machine Learning Length Bar Index’s and is populated with the average of the Machine Learning Data. For Instance, if Machine Learning Length is set to 100, the Long Term Memory is only updated every 100 bars, and since its length is the same as the Machine Learning Length, that means its data is composed of 10,000 bars worth of data. The Long Term Memory may be very beneficial for determining where Support and Resistance lie over the Long Term within a Machine Learning Algorithm. When set to ‘Average’ it plots the connection lines diagonally, and although they may be more visually appealing, they’re less useful when it comes to actually seeing support and resistance as generally speaking, support and resistance lie on the horizontal. When set to ‘Hard Line’ the Long Term Memory is connected with hard lines and holds the price value until the next time it is updated. This makes it much more useful for potentially identifying Support and Resistance.
Tutorial:
Here is an overview of what the Indicator looks like, now let's start to dissect it.
In the example above we can see how all of the lines between the Major Support and Resistance zones may act as BOTH Support and Resistance depending on which side the price is currently on. In the circle on the left, we can see how it can fluctuate between the two. If you look at the circle on the right, we can see how the Average line acts as a strong support before it fails to maintain it. Generally speaking, most Support and Resistance locations may potentially fail to hold after 3 tests, as the Average did in this example.
As you can see, the Support and Resistance doesn’t wait to be tested before adjusting, which is why there are 2 lines which create their zones. The inner line is the Support/Resistance and the outer line is the Strong Support/Resistance. The Yellow Circle shows the inner line was able to calculate the moving resistance correctly and then adjusted accordingly as it was projecting the price to keep increasing. However, if you look at the White Circle, you can see that since there was first a crash, and then parabolic movement, that the inner zone could not move and predict the resistance as well as the outer zone could.
We consider the price to be ‘Overvalued’ when it is above the VWMA (blue line) and ‘Undervalued’ when it is below the VWMA. It is considered ‘fair’ price when it is within the VWMA to Average zone (between the blue and purple lines). If you look at the example above, you’ll notice where the two yellow circles are, it is not only considered ‘Overvalued’, but it then proceeds to ride the inner resistance line upwards. This is common when the market is overly bullish and vice versa when it is bearish. Please keep in mind, although it is common, it doesn’t mean a correction can’t happen.
In this example above we look at the last bull run that may have started due to the halving. This bull run was very bullish as you can see in the example above. The price was constantly sitting within the Resistance Zone and the VWMA that was very close to it was constantly acting as a Support. Naturally, due to the Algorithm used in this Indicator, as the momentum starts to slow down, the VWMA (blue line) will start to space out more and more from the Resistance Zone. This doesn’t mean the momentum is gone, it just means it may be slowing down.
Unfortunately we have to study the Bear Market with a different perspective than the Bull Market. However, there are still some similarities within the two. If you refer to the example above and the previous example, you can clearly see that the Bull Market loves to stay with the Resistance Zone and use the VWMA as a Support. However, the Bear Market does not. This is a normal occurrence, however we can see from the example above you may see a correction / horizontal movement when the Outer Support Line is touched. If you look at all 3 yellow circles, the Outer Support Line was touched, then either a small correction or horizontal consolidation occurred.
We will conclude our Tutorial here, hopefully you’ll be able to benefit from a moving Support and Resistance calculated with Machine Learning that projects its locations, rather than using traditional calculations.
Settings:
Source: This source is the base for all our calculations
Machine Learning Length: How much projection data are we storing and using to make calculations.
Smoothing Length: We need to smooth calculations such as RSI, EMA and VWMA. What length are we smoothing it with?
VWMA ML Projection Length: How far into our Machine Learning data should we average for our VWMA. Please note the 'Smoothing Length' is still applied here after getting the Projection Average.
Long Term Memory: Long term memory has the same storage length but is only updated once per Machine Learning Length. For instance, if Machine Learning Length is 100, it will save the Average of our data once every 100 bars. This means its memory is an average of 10,000 bars of Machine Learning. 'Average' connects its values diagonally whereas 'Hard Line' holds its value until it changes.
Use Average Last Distance In Potential Movement: This can help accuracy but generally also displaces the Support and Resistance by projecting it further.
Show Current Projection: Projections occur for each bar, and our Machine Learning utilizes these projections by storing and evaluating them. This toggle will display the Current Projection Line which is used to create all our Projections.
If you have any questions, comments, ideas or concerns please don't hesitate to contact us.
HAPPY TRADING!
Reverse Cutlers Relative Strength Index On ChartIntroduction
The Reverse Cutlers Relative Strength Index (RCRSI) OC is an indicator which tells the user what price is required to give a particular Cutlers Relative Strength Index ( RSI ) value, or cross its Moving Average (MA) signal line.
Overview
Background & Credits:
The relative strength index ( RSI ) is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis that was originally developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. and introduced in his seminal 1978 book, “New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems.”.
Cutler created a variation of the RSI known as “Cutlers RSI” using a different formulation to avoid an inherent accuracy problem which arises when using Wilders method of smoothing.
Further developments in the use, and more nuanced interpretations of the RSI have been developed by Cardwell, and also by well-known chartered market technician, Constance Brown C.M.T., in her acclaimed book "Technical Analysis for the Trading Professional” 1999 where she described the idea of bull and bear market ranges for RSI , and while she did not actually reveal the formulas, she introduced the concept of “reverse engineering” the RSI to give price level outputs.
Renowned financial software developer, co-author of academic books on finance, and scientific fellow to the Department of Finance and Insurance at the Technological Educational Institute of Crete, Giorgos Siligardos PHD . brought a new perspective to Wilder’s RSI when he published his excellent and well-received articles "Reverse Engineering RSI " and "Reverse Engineering RSI II " in the June 2003, and August 2003 issues of Stocks & Commodities magazine, where he described his methods of reverse engineering Wilders RSI .
Several excellent Implementations of the Reverse Wilders Relative Strength Index have been published here on Tradingview and elsewhere.
My utmost respect, and all due credits to authors of related prior works.
Introduction
It is worth noting that while the general RSI formula, and the logic dictating the UpMove and DownMove data series has remained the same as the Wilders original formulation, it has been interpreted in a different way by using a different method of averaging the upward, and downward moves.
Cutler recognized the issue of data length dependency when using wilders smoothing method of calculating RSI which means that wilders standard RSI will have a potential initialization error which reduces with every new data point calculated meaning early results should be regarded as unreliable until enough calculation iterations have occurred for convergence.
Hence Cutler proposed using Simple Moving Averaging for gain and loss data which this Indicator is based on.
Having "Reverse engineered" prices for any oscillator makes the planning, and execution of strategies around that oscillator far simpler, more timely and effective.
Introducing the Reverse Cutlers RSI which consists of plotted lines on a scale of 0 to 100, and an optional infobox.
The RSI scale is divided into zones:
• Scale high (100)
• Bull critical zone (80 - 100)
• Bull control zone (62 - 80)
• Scale midline (50)
• Bear control zone (20 - 38)
• Bear critical zone (0 - 20)
• Scale low (0)
The RSI plots which graphically display output closing price levels where Cutlers RSI value will crossover:
• RSI (eq) (previous RSI value)
• RSI MA signal line
• RSI Test price
• Alert level high
• Alert level low
The info box displays output closing price levels where Cutlers RSI value will crossover:
• Its previous value. ( RSI )
• Bull critical zone.
• Bull control zone.
• Mid-Line.
• Bear control zone.
• Bear critical zone.
• RSI MA signal line
• Alert level High
• Alert level low
And also displays the resultant RSI for a user defined closing price:
• Test price RSI
The infobox outputs can be shown for the current bar close, or the next bar close.
The user can easily select which information they want in the infobox from the setttings
Importantly:
All info box price levels for the current bar are calculated immediately upon the current bar closing and a new bar opening, they will not change until the current bar closes.
All info box price levels for the next bar are projections which are continually recalculated as the current price changes, and therefore fluctuate as the current price changes.
Understanding the Relative Strength Index
At its simplest the RSI is a measure of how quickly traders are bidding the price of an asset up or down.
It does this by calculating the difference in magnitude of price gains and losses over a specific lookback period to evaluate market conditions.
The RSI is displayed as an oscillator (a line graph that can move between two extremes) and outputs a value limited between 0 and 100.
It is typically accompanied by a moving average signal line.
Traditional interpretations
Overbought and oversold:
An RSI value of 70 or above indicates that an asset is becoming overbought (overvalued condition), and may be may be ready for a trend reversal or corrective pullback in price.
An RSI value of 30 or below indicates that an asset is becoming oversold (undervalued condition), and may be may be primed for a trend reversal or corrective pullback in price.
Midline Crossovers:
When the RSI crosses above its midline ( RSI > 50%) a bullish bias signal is generated. (only take long trades)
When the RSI crosses below its midline ( RSI < 50%) a bearish bias signal is generated. (only take short trades)
Bullish and bearish moving average signal Line crossovers:
When the RSI line crosses above its signal line, a bullish buy signal is generated
When the RSI line crosses below its signal line, a bearish sell signal is generated.
Swing Failures and classic rejection patterns:
If the RSI makes a lower high, and then follows with a downside move below the previous low, a Top Swing Failure has occurred.
If the RSI makes a higher low, and then follows with an upside move above the previous high, a Bottom Swing Failure has occurred.
Examples of classic swing rejection patterns
Bullish swing rejection pattern:
The RSI moves into oversold zone (below 30%).
The RSI rejects back out of the oversold zone (above 30%)
The RSI forms another dip without crossing back into oversold zone.
The RSI then continues the bounce to break up above the previous high.
Bearish swing rejection pattern:
The RSI moves into overbought zone (above 70%).
The RSI rejects back out of the overbought zone (below 70%)
The RSI forms another peak without crossing back into overbought zone.
The RSI then continues to break down below the previous low.
Divergences:
A regular bullish RSI divergence is when the price makes lower lows in a downtrend and the RSI indicator makes higher lows.
A regular bearish RSI divergence is when the price makes higher highs in an uptrend and the RSI indicator makes lower highs.
A hidden bullish RSI divergence is when the price makes higher lows in an uptrend and the RSI indicator makes lower lows.
A hidden bearish RSI divergence is when the price makes lower highs in a downtrend and the RSI indicator makes higher highs.
Regular divergences can signal a reversal of the trending direction.
Hidden divergences can signal a continuation in the direction of the trend.
Chart Patterns:
RSI regularly forms classic chart patterns that may not show on the underlying price chart, such as ascending and descending triangles & wedges , double tops, bottoms and trend lines etc.
Support and Resistance:
It is very often easier to define support or resistance levels on the RSI itself rather than the price chart.
Modern interpretations in trending markets:
Modern interpretations of the RSI stress the context of the greater trend when using RSI signals such as crossovers, overbought/oversold conditions, divergences and patterns.
Constance Brown, CMT , was one of the first who promoted the idea that an oversold reading on the RSI in an uptrend is likely much higher than 30%, and that an overbought reading on the RSI during a downtrend is much lower than the 70% level.
In an uptrend or bull market, the RSI tends to remain in the 40 to 90 range, with the 40-50 zone acting as support.
During a downtrend or bear market, the RSI tends to stay between the 10 to 60 range, with the 50-60 zone acting as resistance.
For ease of executing more modern and nuanced interpretations of RSI it is very useful to break the RSI scale into bull and bear control and critical zones.
These ranges will vary depending on the RSI settings and the strength of the specific market’s underlying trend.
Limitations of the RSI
Like most technical indicators, its signals are most reliable when they conform to the long-term trend.
True trend reversal signals are rare, and can be difficult to separate from false signals.
False signals or “fake-outs”, e.g. a bullish crossover, followed by a sudden decline in price, are common.
Since the indicator displays momentum, it can stay overbought or oversold for a long time when an asset has significant sustained momentum in either direction.
Data Length Dependency when using wilders smoothing method of calculating RSI means that wilders standard RSI will have a potential initialization error which reduces with every new data point calculated meaning early results should be regarded as unreliable until calculation iterations have occurred for convergence.

The relative strength index (RSI) is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis that was originally developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. and introduced in his seminal 1978 book, “New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems.”.
Cutler created a variation of the RSI known as “Cutlers RSI” using a different formulation to avoid an inherent accuracy problem which arises when using Wilders method of smoothing.
Further developments in the use, and more nuanced interpretations of the RSI have been developed by Cardwell, and also by well-known chartered market technician, Constance Brown C.M.T., in her acclaimed book "Technical Analysis for the Trading Professional” 1999 where she described the idea of bull and bear market ranges for RSI, and while she did not actually reveal the formulas, she introduced the concept of “reverse engineering” the RSI to give price level outputs.
Renowned financial software developer, co-author of academic books on finance, and scientific fellow to the Department of Finance and Insurance at the Technological Educational Institute of Crete, Giorgos Siligardos PHD. brought a new perspective to Wilder’s RSI when he published his excellent and well-received articles "Reverse Engineering RSI " and "Reverse Engineering RSI II " in the June 2003, and August 2003 issues of Stocks & Commodities magazine, where he described his methods of reverse engineering Wilders RSI.
Several excellent Implementations of the Reverse Wilders Relative Strength Index have been published here on Tradingview and elsewhere.
My utmost respect, and all due credits to authors of related prior works.
Introduction
It is worth noting that while the general RSI formula, and the logic dictating the UpMove and DownMove data series as described above has remained the same as the Wilders original formulation, it has been interpreted in a different way by using a different method of averaging the upward, and downward moves.
Cutler recognized the issue of data length dependency when using wilders smoothing method of calculating RSI which means that wilders standard RSI will have a potential initialization error which reduces with every new data point calculated meaning early results should be regarded as unreliable until enough calculation iterations have occurred for convergence.
Hence Cutler proposed using Simple Moving Averaging for gain and loss data which this Indicator is based on.
Having "Reverse engineered" prices for any oscillator makes the planning, and execution of strategies around that oscillator far simpler, more timely and effective.
Introducing the Reverse Cutlers RSI which consists of plotted lines on a scale of 0 to 100, and an optional infobox.
The RSI scale is divided into zones:
• Scale high (100)
• Bull critical zone (80 - 100)
• Bull control zone (62 - 80)
• Scale midline (50)
• Bear critical zone (20 - 38)
• Bear control zone (0 - 20)
• Scale low (0)
The RSI plots are:
• Cutlers RSI
• RSI MA signal line
• Test price RSI
• Alert level high
• Alert level low
The info box displays output closing price levels where Cutlers RSI value will crossover:
• Its previous value. (RSI )
• Bull critical zone.
• Bull control zone.
• Mid-Line.
• Bear control zone.
• Bear critical zone.
• RSI MA signal line
• Alert level High
• Alert level low
And also displays the resultant RSI for a user defined closing price:
• Test price RSI
The infobox outputs can be shown for the current bar close, or the next bar close.
The user can easily select which information they want in the infobox from the setttings
Importantly:
All info box price levels for the current bar are calculated immediately upon the current bar closing and a new bar opening, they will not change until the current bar closes.
All info box price levels for the next bar are projections which are continually recalculated as the current price changes, and therefore fluctuate as the current price changes.
Understanding the Relative Strength Index
At its simplest the RSI is a measure of how quickly traders are bidding the price of an asset up or down.
It does this by calculating the difference in magnitude of price gains and losses over a specific lookback period to evaluate market conditions.
The RSI is displayed as an oscillator (a line graph that can move between two extremes) and outputs a value limited between 0 and 100.
It is typically accompanied by a moving average signal line.
Traditional interpretations
Overbought and oversold:
An RSI value of 70 or above indicates that an asset is becoming overbought (overvalued condition), and may be may be ready for a trend reversal or corrective pullback in price.
An RSI value of 30 or below indicates that an asset is becoming oversold (undervalued condition), and may be may be primed for a trend reversal or corrective pullback in price.
Midline Crossovers:
When the RSI crosses above its midline (RSI > 50%) a bullish bias signal is generated. (only take long trades)
When the RSI crosses below its midline (RSI < 50%) a bearish bias signal is generated. (only take short trades)
Bullish and bearish moving average signal Line crossovers:
When the RSI line crosses above its signal line, a bullish buy signal is generated
When the RSI line crosses below its signal line, a bearish sell signal is generated.
Swing Failures and classic rejection patterns:
If the RSI makes a lower high, and then follows with a downside move below the previous low, a Top Swing Failure has occurred.
If the RSI makes a higher low, and then follows with an upside move above the previous high, a Bottom Swing Failure has occurred.
Examples of classic swing rejection patterns
Bullish swing rejection pattern:
The RSI moves into oversold zone (below 30%).
The RSI rejects back out of the oversold zone (above 30%)
The RSI forms another dip without crossing back into oversold zone.
The RSI then continues the bounce to break up above the previous high.
Bearish swing rejection pattern:
The RSI moves into overbought zone (above 70%).
The RSI rejects back out of the overbought zone (below 70%)
The RSI forms another peak without crossing back into overbought zone.
The RSI then continues to break down below the previous low.
Divergences:
A regular bullish RSI divergence is when the price makes lower lows in a downtrend and the RSI indicator makes higher lows.
A regular bearish RSI divergence is when the price makes higher highs in an uptrend and the RSI indicator makes lower highs.
A hidden bullish RSI divergence is when the price makes higher lows in an uptrend and the RSI indicator makes lower lows.
A hidden bearish RSI divergence is when the price makes lower highs in a downtrend and the RSI indicator makes higher highs.
Regular divergences can signal a reversal of the trending direction.
Hidden divergences can signal a continuation in the direction of the trend.
Chart Patterns:
RSI regularly forms classic chart patterns that may not show on the underlying price chart, such as ascending and descending triangles & wedges, double tops, bottoms and trend lines etc.
Support and Resistance:
It is very often easier to define support or resistance levels on the RSI itself rather than the price chart.
Modern interpretations in trending markets:
Modern interpretations of the RSI stress the context of the greater trend when using RSI signals such as crossovers, overbought/oversold conditions, divergences and patterns.
Constance Brown, CMT, was one of the first who promoted the idea that an oversold reading on the RSI in an uptrend is likely much higher than 30%, and that an overbought reading on the RSI during a downtrend is much lower than the 70% level.
In an uptrend or bull market, the RSI tends to remain in the 40 to 90 range, with the 40-50 zone acting as support.
During a downtrend or bear market, the RSI tends to stay between the 10 to 60 range, with the 50-60 zone acting as resistance.
For ease of executing more modern and nuanced interpretations of RSI it is very useful to break the RSI scale into bull and bear control and critical zones.
These ranges will vary depending on the RSI settings and the strength of the specific market’s underlying trend.
Limitations of the RSI
Like most technical indicators, its signals are most reliable when they conform to the long-term trend.
True trend reversal signals are rare, and can be difficult to separate from false signals.
False signals or “fake-outs”, e.g. a bullish crossover, followed by a sudden decline in price, are common.
Since the indicator displays momentum, it can stay overbought or oversold for a long time when an asset has significant sustained momentum in either direction.
Data Length Dependency when using wilders smoothing method of calculating RSI means that wilders standard RSI will have a potential initialization error which reduces with every new data point calculated meaning early results should be regarded as unreliable until calculation iterations have occurred for convergence.
FVG MTF Consensus OscillatorFVG MTF Consensus Oscillator
A multi-timeframe, multi-component oscillator that combines momentum, deviation, and slope analysis across multiple timeframes using Zeiierman's Chebyshev-filtered trend calculation. This indicator identifies potential turning points with zone-based signal classification and timeframe consensus filtering.
Backed by ML/Deep Learning evaluation on ES Futures data from 2015-2024.
🎯 Concept
Traditional oscillators suffer from two major weaknesses:
Single measurement - relying on one metric makes them susceptible to noise
Single timeframe - missing the bigger picture leads to fighting the trend
The FVG MTF Consensus Oscillator addresses both issues by combining three independent measurements across three timeframes into a weighted consensus signal.
The Three Components
Momentum - How fast is the trend moving?
Deviation - How far has price stretched from the trend?
Slope - What is the short-term directional bias?
The Three Timeframes
TF1 (Chart) - Your current chart timeframe (lowest weight)
TF2 (Medium) - Typically 1H or 4H (medium weight)
TF3 (High) - Typically 4H or Daily (highest weight)
By requiring agreement across multiple components AND multiple timeframes, the oscillator filters out noise while capturing meaningful, high-probability market movements.
🔧 How It Works
The Core: Chebyshev Type 1 Filter
At its heart, this indicator uses a Chebyshev Type 1 low-pass filter (inspired by Zeiierman's FVG Trend) to extract a clean trend line from price action. Unlike simple moving averages, the Chebyshev filter offers:
Sharper cutoff between trend and noise
Minimal lag for a given smoothness level
Controlled overshoot via the ripple parameter
Three Oscillator Components
1. Momentum Component
Momentum = Current Trend Value - Previous Trend Value
Measures the velocity of the trend. High positive values indicate strong upward acceleration, while high negative values show downward acceleration.
2. Deviation Component
Deviation = Close Price - Trend Value
Measures how far price has stretched away from the trend line. Useful for identifying overextended conditions and mean reversion opportunities.
3. Slope Component
Slope = Change in Trend over 3 bars
Captures the short-term directional bias of the trend itself, helping confirm trend changes.
Normalization & Component Consensus
Each component is individually normalized to a -100 to +100 scale using adaptive scaling. The oscillator output is a weighted average of all three components, allowing you to emphasize different aspects based on your trading style.
Multi-Timeframe Weighting
The final oscillator value combines all three timeframes using configurable weights:
Combined = (TF1 × Weight1 + TF2 × Weight2 + TF3 × Weight3) / Total Weight
Default weights (1, 2, 3) ensure higher timeframes have more influence, keeping you aligned with the dominant trend while timing entries on lower timeframes.
📊 Zone System
The oscillator uses a fuzzy zone system to classify market conditions:
ZoneRangeInterpretationSignal ColorNeutral-5 to +5No clear bias, avoid tradingGrayContinuation±5 to ±25Trend pullback, continuation setupsAquaDeep Swing±25 to ±50Extended move, stronger setupsGreenReversalBeyond ±50Extreme extension, reversal potentialOrange
When "Show Zone Background" is enabled, the background shading darkens as the oscillator moves into more extreme zones, providing instant visual feedback.
📈 Signal Interpretation
Turn Signals
The indicator plots triangular markers when the oscillator changes direction:
▲ Triangle Up (bottom): Oscillator turning up from a low
▼ Triangle Down (top): Oscillator turning down from a high
Signal Quality by Zone
Not all signals are equal. The signal color indicates which zone the turn occurred in:
ColorZoneProbabilityBest UseGrayNeutralLowAvoid or use very tight stopsAquaContinuationModerateTrend continuation entriesGreenDeep SwingHigherSwing trade entriesOrangeReversalHighestCounter-trend with caution
Timeframe Consensus Filter
Signals only fire when the required number of timeframes agree on direction. With default settings (TF Consensus = 2), at least 2 of 3 timeframes must be moving in the same direction for a signal to trigger.
This prevents:
Taking longs when higher timeframes are bearish
Taking shorts when higher timeframes are bullish
Whipsaws during timeframe disagreement
Trend Coloring
The combined oscillator line changes color based on trend direction:
Light purple (RGB 240, 174, 252): Majority of timeframes trending up
Dark purple (RGB 84, 19, 95): Majority of timeframes trending down
Info Table
When MTF is enabled, a table in the top-right corner displays:

💡 Usage Examples
Example 1: Trend Continuation (Dip Buying)
Setup: Uptrend confirmed by higher timeframes
Check the info table - TF2 and TF3 should show green (rising)
Wait for TF1 to pull back, oscillator enters Continuation zone
Enter on Aqua ▲ signal (turn up with TF consensus)
Stop below recent swing low
Target: Previous high or next resistance
Why it works: You're buying a dip in an established uptrend with multi-timeframe confirmation.
Example 2: Deep Swing Entry
Setup: Extended move showing exhaustion
Oscillator reaches Deep Swing zone (±25 to ±50)
At least 2 TFs start showing the same direction
Enter on Green signal indicating momentum exhaustion
Use tighter stop as the move is already extended
Target: Return to Continuation zone or trend line
Why it works: Extended moves tend to mean-revert. The zone system identifies these opportunities.
Example 3: Reversal Setup (Advanced)
Setup: Extreme extension with diverging timeframes
Oscillator reaches Reversal zone (beyond ±50)
Watch for TF1 to turn while TF3 is still extended
Enter on Orange signal - this is counter-trend!
Use smaller position size and wider stops
Target: Return to Deep Swing or Continuation zone
Why it works: Extreme extensions eventually correct. The orange signal marks high-probability reversal points.
Example 4: Avoiding Bad Trades
What to avoid:
Gray signals in Neutral zone - No edge, random noise
Signals against TF3 direction - Fighting the dominant trend
Signals without TF consensus - Timeframe disagreement = choppy market
Multiple signals in quick succession - Let cooldown filter work
🔬 Multi-Timeframe Analysis Tips
Reading the Info Table
The info table shows real-time oscillator values:
| TF1 | TF2 | TF3 | CMB |
| 23.5 | 45.2 | 67.8 | 52.1 |
All green: Strong uptrend across all timeframes
All red: Strong downtrend across all timeframes
Mixed colors: Potential transition or consolidation
Timeframe Alignment States
TF1TF2TF3Interpretation↑↑↑Strong bull - look for long entries↓↓↓Strong bear - look for short entries↑↑↓Pullback in downtrend - caution on longs↓↓↑Pullback in uptrend - caution on shorts↑↓↑Choppy - reduce position size↓↑↓Choppy - reduce position size
The Power of Consensus
With TF Consensus = 2, signals only fire when 2+ timeframes agree. This single filter eliminates most whipsaws and keeps you aligned with the dominant trend.
For more conservative trading, set TF Consensus = 3 (all timeframes must agree).
⚠️ Important Notes
This indicator does not predict the future. It measures current market conditions and momentum across multiple timeframes.
Always use proper risk management. No indicator is 100% accurate.
Combine with price action. The oscillator works best when confirmed by support/resistance, candlestick patterns, or other confluence factors.
Respect the higher timeframe. When TF3 disagrees, trade smaller or sit out.
Zone signals are probabilistic. Orange (reversal) signals have higher probability but aren't guaranteed reversals.
Adjust settings per instrument. Default settings are optimized for ES Futures but may need tuning for other markets.
🧪 ML/Deep Learning Background
The default parameters and zone thresholds were evaluated using machine learning techniques on ES Futures data spanning 2015-2024. This included:
Optimization of component weights
Zone threshold calibration
Timeframe weight balancing
Signal filter tuning
While past performance doesn't guarantee future results, the parameters represent a data-driven starting point rather than arbitrary defaults.

Elite S&D [By:CienF]Elite Supply & Demand
Description
Elite Supply & Demand is not just another zone indicator; it is a complete institutional trading system designed to identify high-probability imbalances in the market. Unlike standard indicators that flood the chart with weak zones, this script applies rigorous Price Action rules to filter, score, and validate only the most significant areas of interest.
The core philosophy of this tool is "Anormality". Institutional activity leaves a footprint in the form of explosive volatility relative to the recent context. This indicator detects these footprints, measures their intensity, and validates them against market structure.
Key Features
🔥 Dynamic Quality Scoring (The "Elite" Feature) The indicator doesn't just draw boxes; it rates them. It calculates a Volumetric Ratio comparing the explosive move against the historical average at the moment of creation.
Contextual Intelligence: It continues to track the initial move. If the momentum continues after a small pause, the score updates in real-time.
Visual Grades:
🔥 Fire: High Anormality (Institutional Imbalance).
⚡ Lightning: Moderate Anormality (Decent strength).
No Icon: Standard move.
🏗️ Advanced Structure Validation Includes a unique "Eventual Break" filter.
Latent Zones: You can choose to hide zones that haven't broken structure yet.
Auto-Validation: The zone remains invisible/transparent until price breaks a recent High/Low or Fractal Pivot. Once the break occurs, the zone "activates" on your chart.
🧠 Smart Mitigation Logic
No Zombie Zones: Once a zone is mitigated (touched), it is strictly processed. It can either turn gray (History Mode) or be removed instantly.
Priority Handling: Mitigated zones are never re-colored or re-validated, keeping your chart clean and accurate.
🚀 Performance Optimization
Date Lookback: Includes a "Days Back" filter to prevent the script from calculating thousands of historical candles, ensuring smooth performance even on lower timeframes (1m, 5m).
🔔 Integrated Alerts
Creation: Get notified immediately when a potential zone forms.
Validation: Get notified specifically when a latent zone breaks structure and becomes active.
How It Works ( The Logic)
Phase 1: The Base (Indecision): Identifies candles with small bodies (≤ 50% of range) representing equilibrium/accumulation.
Phase 2: The Explosion (Imbalance): Looks for a strong breakout candle (≥ 60% body) that moves away from the base.
Phase 3: The Follow-up: Verifies that the move continues. It allows for "Smart Pauses" (single indecision candles) within the trend but invalidates the zone if a reversal occurs immediately.
Phase 4: Structure Check: Verifies if the move broke the Recent Range (High/Low) or Fractal Pivots.
Settings & Configuration
1. Base & Exit Rules
Max % Body: Threshold to define an indecision candle (Default: 50%).
Explosive Min: Minimum strength required for the exit candle.
2. Structure Validation
Structure Type: Choose between Recent Range (more fluid) or Fractal Pivots (stricter).
Filter Eventual Break: Highly Recommended. If checked, zones appear only after they prove their strength by breaking structure.
3. Scoring (Quality)
High Quality Ratio: The multiplier required to earn the 🔥 icon (e.g., 2.0x larger than average).
Allow Pause: Allows the algorithm to capture larger moves even if there is a single small candle in the middle of the explosive leg.
4. Performance
Days Back: Limits how far back the indicator draws. Reduce this number on low timeframes to speed up loading.
Usage Recommendations
For Trend Trading: Look for "Follow-up" zones. If you see a 🔥 zone forming in the direction of the higher timeframe trend, it is a high-probability entry.
For Reversals: Use the "Filter Eventual Break" feature. Wait for the indicator to reveal a zone that has broken a major structure point.
Stop Loss Placement: The indicator draws the zone covering the entire "Base" (wicks included). A safe stop is typically just beyond the distal line (33% recommended) of the box.
🔔 How to Set Up Alerts
Since this indicator uses the dynamic alert() function to send detailed messages (Entry Price, Stop Zone, Type), you must configure it correctly:
Add the indicator to your chart and adjust the settings to your preference.
Click the "Create Alert" button (Clock Icon) on the right toolbar or press Alt + A.
Condition: Select "Elite S&D " from the dropdown menu.
Trigger (CRITICAL): You must select "Any alert() function call".
Note: Do not select "Crossing" or other standard conditions, or the alerts will not trigger.
Expiration: Select "Open-ended" (if you have a Premium plan) or set a future date.
Alert Actions: Choose where you want to receive the alert (Notify on App, Show Popup, Send Email, etc.).
Message: You can leave this default. The script automatically generates a detailed message with the Ticker, Timeframe, Zone Type, and Coordinates.
Click Create.

Inside SwingsOverview
The Inside Swings indicator identifies and visualizes "inside swing" patterns in price action. These patterns occur when price creates a series of pivots that form overlapping ranges, indicating potential consolidation or reversal zones.
What are Inside Swings?
Inside swings are specific pivot patterns where:
- HLHL Pattern: High-Low-High-Low sequence where the first high is higher than the second high, and the first low is lower than the second low
- LHLH Pattern: Low-High-Low-High sequence where the first low is lower than the second low, and the first high is higher than the second high
Here an Example
These patterns create overlapping price ranges that often act as:
- Support/Resistance zones
- Consolidation areas
- Potential reversal points
- Breakout levels

Aladin Pair Trading System v1Aladin Pair Trading System v1
What is This Indicator?
The Aladin Pair Trading System is a sophisticated tool designed to help traders identify profitable opportunities by comparing two related stocks that historically move together. Think of it as finding when one twin is running ahead or lagging behind the other - these moments often present trading opportunities as they tend to return to moving together.
Who Should Use This?
Beginners: Learn about statistical arbitrage and pair trading
Intermediate Traders: Execute mean-reversion strategies with confidence
Advanced Traders: Fine-tune parameters for optimal pair relationships
Portfolio Managers: Implement market-neutral strategies
💡 What is Pair Trading?
Imagine two ice cream shops next to each other. They usually have similar customer traffic because they're in the same area. If one day Shop A is packed while Shop B is empty, you might expect this imbalance to correct itself soon.
Pair trading works the same way:
You find two stocks that normally move together (like TCS and Infosys)
When one stock moves too far from the other, you trade expecting them to realign
You buy the lagging stock and sell the leading stock
When they come back together, you profit from both sides
Key Features
1. Z-Score Analysis
What it is: A statistical measure showing how far the price relationship has deviated from normal
What it means:
Z-Score near 0 = Normal relationship
Z-Score at +2 = Stock A is expensive relative to Stock B (Sell A, Buy B)
Z-Score at -2 = Stock A is cheap relative to Stock B (Buy A, Sell B)
2. Multiple Timeframe Analysis
Long-term Z-Score (300 bars): Shows the big picture trend
Short-term Z-Score (100 bars): Shows recent movements
Signal Z-Score (20 bars): Generates quick trading signals
3. Statistical Validation
The indicator checks if the pair is suitable for trading:
Correlation (must be > 0.7): Confirms the stocks move together
1.0 = Perfect positive correlation
0.7 = Strong correlation
Below 0.7 = Warning: pair may not be reliable
ADF P-Value (should be < 0.05): Tests if the relationship is stable
Low value = Good for pair trading
High value = Relationship may be random
Cointegration: Confirms long-term equilibrium relationship
YES = Pair tends to revert to mean
NO = Pair may drift apart permanently
Visual Elements Explained
Chart Zones (Color-Coded Areas)

New York Midnight Indicator█ OVERVIEW
This script provides a visual tool for traders to track the New York Midnight (NY Midnight), a significant time marker for those who rely on New York’s financial markets. The script calculates the exact moment of midnight in New York and places a vertical line on the chart at this time, helping traders identify when a new trading day begins according to the New York time zone. The indicator also marks the midnight point with a lime-colored downward triangle to enhance visibility on the chart. It is specifically useful for traders who want to synchronize their strategies with New York’s trading hours, especially in global markets.
The script is flexible, allowing traders to adjust the UTC offset to accommodate different time zones. This is critical for those trading in different regions but still using New York as the main time reference.
█ CONCEPTS
New York Midnight: For many traders, especially those following the Forex and US stock markets, midnight in New York signifies the start of a new trading day. This point is essential for technical analysis as it often aligns with daily opening ranges, trend shifts, and volume spikes.
UTC Offset: The script includes a user-input parameter (utcOffset) to adjust the calculated time for New York midnight, ensuring that it accounts for time zone differences. This allows it to be used effectively regardless of the user’s local time zone, offering flexibility to global traders.
█ METHODOLOGY
UTC Offset Adjustment: The script starts by asking the trader to input their UTC offset (e.g., UTC -5 for New York without daylight saving time). This offset is added to the current chart time to align it with New York’s local time.
Current Hour Calculation: Once the UTC offset is applied, the script calculates the New York Hour by taking the chart’s current hour and adjusting it with the offset. This ensures that the displayed hour matches New York’s local time, regardless of the trader's location.
Vertical Line at Midnight: When the current New York hour equals 00:00 (midnight), the script plots a black vertical line on the chart. This line serves as a visual reference for the exact moment when New York's trading day begins, allowing traders to align their strategies accordingly.
Downward Triangle Plot: In addition to the vertical line, the script also adds a lime-colored downward triangle at the same bar location to further highlight the midnight point. This is useful for traders who prefer shape markers to visualize significant time events.
█ HOW TO USE
Identifying Daily Resets: The script makes it easy for traders to track when New York’s trading day resets. This is especially useful in Forex markets, where daily cycles and time zone-based volatility play an important role in price movement and volume spikes.
Time Zone Flexibility: By adjusting the UTC offset parameter, traders across the globe can synchronize their charts with New York time. This is critical for international traders who want to execute trades based on New York market patterns but reside in different time zones.
Strategic Time Marking: The vertical line and shape markers at midnight allow traders to quickly see when a new trading day starts, helping them identify patterns like the daily range, key support/resistance levels, or even potential reversals around this time.
Session-Based Analysis: Traders who work with session-based strategies (e.g., trading the Asian, European, or US sessions) can use this marker to better time their entries or exits relative to the start of the New York session.
█ METHOD VARIANTS
This script can be modified or extended in various ways to better suit specific trading strategies:
Highlighting Other Session Starts: It could be adapted to plot lines for other key session starts (e.g., London open, Tokyo open).
Multiple Time Zones: For traders who monitor several markets, the script could be extended to display midnight markers for multiple time zones.
Custom Line Styles: Users could modify the line color, thickness, or style to better match their chart aesthetic or preferences.
BTC - Power Law OscillatorDescription:
The BTC - Power Law Oscillator is a technical analysis tool designed to help traders and investors identify potential overbought and oversold conditions in the Bitcoin market. This oscillator is based on a power law model that approximates Bitcoin's historical price trajectory, providing a framework for understanding deviations from this trajectory over time.
Key Features:
Exponential Model: The oscillator uses an exponential model that represents Bitcoin's price growth over time since its inception on January 3, 2009. This model is mathematically expressed as:
price=exp(5.71×ln(days since inception)−38.16)
This captures the long-term growth trend of Bitcoin, allowing for the analysis of deviations from this model.
Deviation Analysis: The Power Law Oscillator measures the percentage deviation of Bitcoin's closing price from the model price. This deviation is expressed as a percentage to illustrate how far the current price is from the expected model trajectory.
Normalization: The oscillator values are normalized to a 0-100 range. A quadratic transformation is applied to enhance sensitivity to higher values, allowing for better visualization and interpretation of extreme conditions.
Bands and Zones:
Upper Band (50): Indicates the 20% threshold. Values above this band suggest overbought conditions, where Bitcoin's price may be significantly above the expected trajectory.
Lower Band (15): Indicates the 5% threshold. Values below this band suggest oversold conditions, where Bitcoin's price may be significantly below the expected trajectory.
Top Zone: The area above the upper band is shaded red, highlighting potential sell or caution areas.
Bottom Zone: The area below the lower band is shaded green, highlighting potential buy or accumulation areas.
Benefits:
Trend Analysis: Helps identify long-term trends and potential reversals by analyzing price deviations from a theoretical model based on historical growth.
Market Timing: Assists in market timing decisions by indicating overbought and oversold conditions with visual bands and zones.
Enhanced Sensitivity: The quadratic normalization enhances sensitivity to changes in the oscillator, providing clearer signals for traders.
Usage Tips:
Complementary Tool: Use this oscillator in conjunction with other technical indicators and fundamental analysis for more comprehensive market insights.
Risk Management: Always employ sound risk management strategies when trading, as no single indicator can guarantee accurate predictions.
Market Context: Consider the broader market context, as Bitcoin's volatility can lead to significant short-term fluctuations.
The BTC - Power Law Oscillator provides a unique perspective on Bitcoin's price movements by leveraging a mathematical model to understand historical growth trends and deviations. Use this tool to gain deeper insights into market dynamics and enhance your trading strategy.
Wave Consolidation [LuxAlgo]The Wave Consolidation indicator uses market profiles to highlight consolidation zones based on upward and downward moves determined when a Higher-High or Lower-Low is created.
Users can control the amount of consolidation zones to display and the sensitivity of the swing point detection used to return those zones.
🔶 USAGE
These zones are intended as areas of interest to traders where price has seen historical interactions, which can be interpreted as support and resistance. By identifying these areas of interest before the price returns to them, traders are able to anticipate and prepare for various scenarios and respond dynamically to the behavior of the market, as seen below.
Rejection: A quick move away from the zone may indicate that the area is either overvalued or undervalued, leading to a fast movement in the opposite direction.
Breakthrough: Moving beyond a zone could indicate acceptance at that specific price, potentially signaling a shift in momentum or the start of a new trend. In a strong major trend, zones created from smaller trends could be used as price targets for taking profit and managing risk.
Consolidation: Holding these zones might suggest a market in balance at these levels, this could lead to opportunities for range-bound trading.
Below is an example of the Rejection and Consolidation scenarios described above.
Note: By analyzing the tests and retests of these zones, traders can also gain further insight into where participants are interacting in the market.
🔶 DETAILS
The full process for acquiring and managing these zones is described in the sub-sections below.
🔹 Creation
By only considering market movements creating a higher-high or lower-low, we can identify meaningful, directional, moves which can then be used to calculate zones.
Once a move is identified, the script calculates a volume profile spanning the length of the given move.
The width of the zones is determined starting from the POC of the profile and expanding outwards until the value of the profile's row falls below the profile's average.
Note: By increasing the "Multiplier" Input, Users can increase the threshold the script uses to determine zone width in multiples of Standard Deviations above the Average.
While this area is similar to a VP Value Area, it is not intended to replicate a value zone. The calculation is not concerned with capturing any % of the total profile's volume within the zone and only analyzes based on a fixed inclusion threshold.
🔹 Management
To keep clutter to a minimum, If a new zone overlaps a recently created zone, the zones are grouped as one. This is especially helpful in areas where prices are ranging, creating multiple zones in a very similar area.
Zones before management:
Zones after management:
🔹 Deletion
Just because a zone is crossed, does not make it immediately unimportant!
Once a Zone is mitigated (crossed in the opposite direction of its bias) it is reduced to a single dotted line representing the outer threshold for the zone. These lines are important to watch, as the price will often retest a break. For this reason, they will stay on the chart until the next swing point is detected when they will finally be deleted for good.
Below is an example of activity around a broken zone before it is deleted.
Below is the same example 2bBars later , once the new swing is confirmed, the dotted lines are deleted and new zones are created.
Notice how the newly formed resistance zone is in the same area where we noticed sellers previously.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Structure
Display Structure: Determines if swing structures are displayed.
Structure Length: Sets Length for structure identification.
🔹 Zones
Volume-Based Calculations: Opt to use a "Volume" based Profile Calculation instead of the default "Price Action" based Calculation.
Display Count: Sets the specific number of bullish and bearish zones to display on the chart.
Multiplier: Sets the multiplier to use for the value cut-off for determining zone boundaries.
🔹 Style
Display Average Lines: Toggles on/off the average (mid) lines for the zones.
ICT KillZones Hunt [TradingFinder] 4 Sessions + OB + FVG + Alert🔵 Introduction
🟣 ICT
The "ICT" style is a subset of "Price Action" technical analysis. The primary goal of the ICT trading strategy is to merge "Price Action" with the "Smart Money" concept to pinpoint optimal trade entry points.
However, this approach's strength extends beyond merely finding entry points. It also helps traders gain a deeper understanding of price behavior and adapt their trading strategies to the market structure.
The most important concepts of "ICT" :
Order Block
Fair Value Gap(FVG)
Liquidity
🟣 Session
Financial markets are divided into several time periods, each featuring distinct characteristics and levels of activity. These periods, known as sessions, are active at different times during the day.
The primary active sessions in financial markets include :
Asian Session
European Session
New York Session
Based on the UTC time zone, the schedule for these key sessions is :
Asian Session: 23:00 to 06:00
European Session: 07:00 to 16:30
New York Session: 13:00 to 22:00
Note
To avoid session overlap and minimize interference during kill zones, the session times have been modified as follows :
Asian Session: 23:00 to 06:00
European Session: 07:00 to 14:25
New York Session: 14:30 to 22:55
🟣 KillZone
Kill zones are periods within a session where trader activity spikes. During these times, trading volume surges, and price movements become more pronounced.
The major kill zones, according to the UTC time zone, are as follows :
Asian Kill Zone: 23:00 to 03:55
European Kill Zone: 07:00 to 09:55
New York Morning Kill Zone: 14:30 to 16:55
New York Evening Kill Zone: 19:30 to 20:55
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Order Block
Order blocks are a distinct category of "Supply and Demand" zones, formed when a series of orders are grouped together. These blocks are often created by banks or other significant market participants.
Banks typically execute large orders in blocks during their trading sessions. If they were to enter the market with small quantities, substantial price movements would occur before the orders were fully executed, reducing potential profit.
To mitigate this, they divide their orders into smaller, more manageable positions. Traders should seek "buy" opportunities in "demand order blocks" and "sell" opportunities in "supply order blocks."
🟣 Fair Value Gap (FVG)
To pinpoint the "Fair Value Gap" on the chart, meticulous candle-by-candle analysis is essential. Pay close attention to candles with significant bodies, examining each candle alongside the one preceding it.
The candles flanking this central candle should exhibit elongated shadows, with bodies that do not intersect the body of the central candle. The span between the shadows of the first and third candles is referred to as the FVG range.
Note :
The origin of all Order Blocks and FVGs starts from inside a kill zone and extends up to the end of the same session.
🟣 Kill Zone Hunt
Following this strategy, after the conclusion of the kill zone and the stabilization of its high and low lines, if the price touches either of these lines within the same session and encounters a robust rejection, it presents an opportunity to enter a trade.

AI Momentum [YinYang]Overview:
AI Momentum is a kernel function based momentum Indicator. It uses Rational Quadratics to help smooth out the Moving Averages, this may give them a more accurate result. This Indicator has 2 main uses, first it displays ‘Zones’ that help you visualize the potential movement areas and when the price is out of bounds (Overvalued or Undervalued). Secondly it creates signals that display the momentum of the current trend.
The Zones are composed of the Highest Highs and Lowest lows turned into a Rational Quadratic over varying lengths. These create our Rational High and Low zones. There is however a second zone. The second zone is composed of the avg of the Inner High and Inner Low zones (yellow line) and the Rational Quadratic of the current Close. This helps to create a second zone that is within the High and Low bounds that may represent momentum changes within these zones. When the Rationalized Close crosses above the High and Low Zone Average it may signify a bullish momentum change and vice versa when it crosses below.
There are 3 different signals created to display momentum:
Bullish and Bearish Momentum. These signals display when there is current bullish or bearish momentum happening within the trend. When the momentum changes there will likely be a lull where there are neither Bullish or Bearish momentum signals. These signals may be useful to help visualize when the momentum has started and stopped for both the bulls and the bears. Bullish Momentum is calculated by checking if the Rational Quadratic Close > Rational Quadratic of the Highest OHLC4 smoothed over a VWMA. The Bearish Momentum is calculated by checking the opposite.
Overly Bullish and Bearish Momentum. These signals occur when the bar has Bullish or Bearish Momentum and also has an Rationalized RSI greater or less than a certain level. Bullish is >= 57 and Bearish is <= 43. There is also the option to ‘Factor Volume’ into these signals. This means, the Overly Bullish and Bearish Signals will only occur when the Rationalized Volume > VWMA Rationalized Volume as well as the previously mentioned factors above. This can be useful for removing ‘clutter’ as volume may dictate when these momentum changes will occur, but it can also remove some of the useful signals and you may miss the swing too if the volume just was low. Overly Bullish and Bearish Momentum may dictate when a momentum change will occur. Remember, they are OVERLY Bullish and Bearish, meaning there is a chance a correction may occur around these signals.
Bull and Bear Crosses. These signals occur when the Rationalized Close crosses the Gaussian Close that is 2 bars back. These signals may show when there is a strong change in momentum, but be careful as more often than not they’re predicting that the momentum may change in the opposite direction.
Tutorial:
As we can see in the example above, generally what happens is we get the regular Bullish or Bearish momentum, followed by the Rationalized Close crossing the Zone average and finally the Overly Bullish or Bearish signals. This is normally the order of operations but isn’t always how it happens as sometimes momentum changes don’t make it that far; also the Rationalized Close and Zone Average don’t follow any of the same math as the Signals which can result in differing appearances. The Bull and Bear Crosses are also quite sporadic in appearance and don’t generally follow any sort of order of operations. However, they may occur as a Predictor between Bullish and Bearish momentum, signifying the beginning of the momentum change.
The Bull and Bear crosses may be a Predictor of momentum change. They generally happen when there is no Bullish or Bearish momentum happening; and this helps to add strength to their prediction. When they occur during momentum (orange circle) there is a less likely chance that it will happen, and may instead signify the exact opposite; it may help predict a large spike in momentum in the direction of the Bullish or Bearish momentum. In the case of the orange circle, there is currently Bearish Momentum and therefore the Bull Cross may help predict a large momentum movement is about to occur in favor of the Bears.
We have disabled signals here to properly display and talk about the zones. As you can see, Rationalizing the Highest Highs and Lowest Lows over 2 different lengths creates inner and outer bounds that help to predict where parabolic movement and momentum may move to. Our Inner and Outer zones are great for seeing potential Support and Resistance locations.
The secondary zone, which can cross over and change from Green to Red is also a very important zone. Let's zoom in and talk about it specifically.
The Middle Zone Crosses may help deduce where parabolic movement and strong momentum changes may occur. Generally what may happen is when the cross occurs, you will see parabolic movement to the High / Low zones. This may be the Inner zone but can sometimes be the outer zone too. The hard part is sometimes it can be a Fakeout, like displayed with the Blue Circle. The Cross doesn’t mean it may move to the opposing side, sometimes it may just be predicting Parabolic movement in a general sense.
When we turn the Momentum Signals back on, we can see where the Fakeout occurred that it not only almost hit the Inner Low Zone but it also exhibited 2 Overly Bearish Signals. Remember, Overly bearish signals mean a momentum change in favor of the Bulls may occur soon and overly Bullish signals mean a momentum change in favor of the Bears may occur soon.
You may be wondering, well what does “may occur soon” mean and how do we tell?
The purpose of the momentum signals is not only to let you know when Momentum has occurred and when it is still prevalent. It also matters A LOT when it has STOPPED!
In this example above, we look at when the Overly Bullish and Bearish Momentum has STOPPED. As you can see, when the Overly Bullish or Bearish Momentum stopped may be a strong predictor of potential momentum change in the opposing direction.
We will conclude our Tutorial here, hopefully this Indicator has been helpful for showing you where momentum is occurring and help predict how far it may move. We have been dabbling with and are planning on releasing a Strategy based on this Indicator shortly.
Settings:
1. Momentum:
Show Signals: Sometimes it can be difficult to visualize the zones with signals enabled.
Factor Volume: Factor Volume only applies to Overly Bullish and Bearish Signals. It's when the Volume is > VWMA Volume over the Smoothing Length.
Zone Inside Length: The Zone Inside is the Inner zone of the High and Low. This is the length used to create it.
Zone Outside Length: The Zone Outside is the Outer zone of the High and Low. This is the length used to create it.
Smoothing length: Smoothing length is the length used to smooth out our Bullish and Bearish signals, along with our Overly Bullish and Overly Bearish Signals.
2. Kernel Settings:
Lookback Window: The number of bars used for the estimation. This is a sliding value that represents the most recent historical bars. Recommended range: 3-50.
Relative Weighting: Relative weighting of time frames. As this value approaches zero, the longer time frames will exert more influence on the estimation. As this value approaches infinity, the behavior of the Rational Quadratic Kernel will become identical to the Gaussian kernel. Recommended range: 0.25-25.
Start Regression at Bar: Bar index on which to start regression. The first bars of a chart are often highly volatile, and omission of these initial bars often leads to a better overall fit. Recommended range: 5-25.

YinYang Bar ForecastOverview:
YinYang Bar Forecast is a prediction indicator. It predicts the movement for High, Low, Open and Close for up to 13 bars into the future. We created this Indicator as we felt the TradingView community could benefit from a bar forecast as there wasn’t any currently available.
Our YinYang Bar Forecast is something we plan on continuously working on to better improve it, but at its current state it is still very useful and decently accurate. It features many calculations to derive what it thinks the future bars will hold. Let’s discuss some of the logic behind it:
Each bar has its High, Low, Open and Close calculated individually for highest accuracy. Within these calculations we first check which bar it is we are calculating and base our span back length that we are getting our data from based on the bar index we are generating. This helps us get a Moving Average for this bar index.
We take this MA and we apply our Custom Volume Filter calculation on it, which is essentially us dividing the current bars volume over the average volume in the last ‘Filtered Length’ (Setting) length. We take this decimal and multiply it on our MA and smooth it out with a VWMA.
We take the new Volume Filtered MA and apply a RSI Filter calculation on it. RSI Filter is where we take the difference between the high and low of this bar and we multiply it with an RSI calculation using our Volume Filtered MA. We take the result of that multiplication and either add or subtract it from the Volume Filtered MA based on if close > open. This makes our RSI Filtered MA.
Next, we do an EMA Strength Calculation which is where we check if close > ema(close, ‘EMA Averaged Length’) (Setting). Based on this condition we assign a multiplier that is applied to our RSI Filtered MA. We divide by how many bars we are predicting and add a bit to each predictive bar so that the further we go into the future the stronger the strength is.
Next we check RSI and RSI MA levels and apply multiplications based on its RSI levels and if it is greater than or less than the MA. Also it is affected by if the RSI is <= 30 and >= 70.
Finally we check the MFI and MFI MA levels and like RSI we apply multiplications based on its MFI levels and if it is greater than or less than the MA. It is also affected by if the MFI is <= 30 and >= 70.
Please note the way we calculate this may change in the future, this is just currently what we deemed works best for forecasting the future bars. Also note this script uses MA calculations out of scope for efficiency but there is potential for inconsistencies.
Innately it’s main use is the projection it provides. It only draws the bars for realtime bars and not historical ones, so the best way to backtest it is with TradingView’s Replay Tool.
Well, enough of the logic behind it, let's get to understanding how to use it:
Tutorial:
So unfortunately we aren’t able to plot legit bars/candles into the future so we’ve had to do a bit of a work around using lines and fills. As you can see here we have 4 Lines and 3 Zones:
Lines:
Green: Represents the High
Orange: Represents the Open
Teal: Represents the Close
Red: Represents the Low
Zones:
High Zone: This zone is from either Open or Close to the High and is ALWAYS filled with Green.
Open/Close Zone: This zone is from the Open to the Close and is filled with either Green or Red based on if it's greater than the previous bar (real or forecasted).
Low Zone: This zone is from either Open or Close to the Low and is ALWAYS filled with Red.
As you can see generally the Forecasted bars are generally within strong pivot locations and are a good estimation of what will likely go on. Please note, the WHOLE structure of the prediction can change based on the current bars movements and the way it affects the calculations.
Let's look 1 bar back from the current bar just so we can see what it used to Forecast:
As you can see it has changed quite a bit from the previous bar, but if you look close, we drew horizontal lines around where its projecting the next bar to be (our current realtime bar), if we go back to the live chart:
Its projections were pretty close for the high and low. Generally, right now at least, it does a much better job at predicting the high and low than it does the open and close, however we will do our best to fine tune that in future updates.
Remember, this indicator is not meant to base your trades on, but rather give you a Forecast towards the general direction of the next few bars. Somewhat like weather, the farther the bar (or day for weather), the harder it is to predict. For this reason we recommend you focusing on the first few bars as they are more accurate, but review the further ones as they may help show the trend and the way that pair will move.
We will conclude this tutorial here, hopefully this Predictive Indicator can be of some help and use to you. If you have any questions, comments, ideas or concerns please let us know.
Settings:
Forecast Length: How many bars should we predict into the Future? Max 13
Each Bar Length Multiplier: For each new Forecast bar, how many more bars are averaged? Min 2

Multicolor Bollinger Bands - Market PhasesHi everyone
Hope you're all doing well 😘
Today I feel gracious and decided to give to the community. And giving not only an indicator but also a trading method
This trading method shows how a convergence based on moving averages is tremendous
Multicolour Bollinger Bands indicator that indicates market phases.
It plots on the price chart, thanks to different color zones between the bands, a breakdown of the different phases that the price operates during a trend.
The different zones are identified as follows:
- red color zone: trend is bearish, price is below the 200 periods moving average
- orange color zone: price operate a technical rebound below the 200 periods moving average
- yellow color zone: (phase 1 which indicate a new bearish cycle)
- light green zone: (phase 2 which indicate a new bullish cycle)
- dark green zone: trend is bullish, price is above the 200 periods moving average
- grey color zone: calm phase of price
- dark blue color zone: price is consolidating in either bullish or bearish trend
- light blue zones: price will revert to a new opposite trend (either long or short new trend)
By identifying clearly the different market phases with the multicolor Bollinger bands, the market entries by either a the beginning of a new trend or just after a rebound or a consolidating phase is easier to spot on.
Trade well and trade safe

On Balance Volume [BrightSideTrading]
# On Balance Volume - Complete User Guide
## Overview
This enhanced OBV indicator provides clean, actionable volume analysis with intelligent signal filtering. It combines On-Balance Volume (OBV) with a smoothed signal line to identify shifts in buying and selling pressure without chart clutter.
**Key Features:**
- Real-time OBV and signal line visualization
- Smart crossover detection with confirmation filtering
- Z-Score momentum analysis
- Customizable signal alerts with V-shaped markers
- Window-normalized option for detrended analysis
---
## What is On-Balance Volume (OBV)?
OBV is a volume-based momentum indicator that accumulates volume on up days and subtracts volume on down days. It answers a fundamental question: **Is volume flowing in (buying) or out (selling)?**
**Formula:**
- If Close > Previous Close: OBV = Previous OBV + Volume
- If Close < Previous Close: OBV = Previous OBV - Volume
- If Close = Previous Close: OBV = Previous OBV (unchanged)
**What it tells you:**
- **Rising OBV** = Accumulation (smart money buying)
- **Falling OBV** = Distribution (smart money selling)
- **OBV above zero line** = Net positive buying pressure
- **OBV below zero line** = Net negative selling pressure
---
## Interface & Settings
### **MAIN VISUALIZATION**
**OBV Line (Green/Red Ribbon)**
- Green when OBV is above the signal line (bullish trend)
- Red when OBV is below the signal line (bearish trend)
- Toggles between window-normalized (detrended) and raw values
**Signal Line (Orange)**
- Smoothed average of OBV
- Crossovers with OBV generate buy/sell signals
- Default: 21-period SMA
**V-Shaped Markers**
- Green upward V = Bullish crossover (buy signal)
- Red downward V = Bearish crossover (sell signal)
- Appears at the OBV value when signal is triggered
**Zero Line (Yellow)**
- Center equilibrium point for volume balance
- Acts as support/resistance for OBV
- Separates buying pressure (above) from selling pressure (below)
---
### **SOURCE GROUP**
**Source**
- **Default:** Close
- **Options:** Open, High, Low, or any custom value
- Controls which price value triggers OBV direction changes
- Most traders use Close for standard OBV calculation
---
### **SIGNAL SMOOTHING GROUP**
**Show Signal?**
- **Default:** ON
- Toggle visibility of the signal line
- Disable if you prefer to see raw OBV only
**Smoothing Type**
- **SMA (Simple Moving Average)** - Default, standard smoothing
- **EMA (Exponential Moving Average)** - Faster response, weights recent bars more heavily
- **Choose SMA** for consistent, traditional OBV signals
- **Choose EMA** for faster trend identification (more whipsaws possible)
**Smoothing Length**
- **Default:** 21 bars
- **Range:** 1-200 bars
- **Lower values** (5-14): Faster signals, more noise
- **Higher values** (30-50): Slower signals, fewer false alarms
- **Recommendation:** Use 21-25 for most timeframes
---
### **SIGNAL FILTERING GROUP**
This is your primary control for signal quality and frequency.
**Show Signal Markers?**
- **Default:** ON
- Toggle the V-shaped buy/sell markers on/off
- Disable if markers distract from your analysis
**Signal Filter Type**
- **None** - Shows every single crossover (noisy, best for skilled traders)
- **Confirmation Bars** - Waits N bars before confirming signal (recommended)
- **Strength-Based** - Only signals during strong momentum (filters weakest moves)
#### **CONFIRMATION BARS MODE** (Recommended)
Best for reducing false signals while staying responsive to real moves.
**Confirmation Bars**
- **Default:** 2 bars
- **Range:** 1-10 bars
- Waits for the signal to hold for N consecutive bars after crossover

- **Setting 2:** Wait 1 bar confirmation (good balance)
- **Setting 3:** Wait 2 bars confirmation (filters 50% of noise)
- **Setting 4+:** Very selective, misses quick reversals
**How it works:**
1. OBV crosses signal line → Confirmation counter starts
2. If OBV stays on correct side for 2 bars → V-marker appears
3. If OBV crosses back → Counter resets, no signal
#### **STRENGTH-BASED MODE**
Only signals when momentum is statistically significant.
**Min Z-Score Strength**
- **Default:** 0.3
- **Range:** 0.0-3.0
- Requires OBV deviation from its mean to reach this threshold
- **Setting 0.1-0.3:** More signals, lower quality
- **Setting 0.5-0.8:** Moderate signals, good quality
- **Setting 1.0+:** Only the strongest momentum shifts
**How it works:**
- Calculates how far OBV is from its 50-bar average (Z-score)
- Only shows signals when this distance is meaningful
- Automatically avoids weak, choppy market conditions

**Setup:**
- Signal Filter Type: **Confirmation Bars**
- Confirmation Bars: **2-3**
- Show Signal Markers: **ON**
**Rules:**
1. **BUY signal** (green V): When OBV crosses above signal line and holds for 2-3 bars
- Confirms buying pressure is building
- Look for price to follow within 1-3 bars
2. **SELL signal** (red V): When OBV crosses below signal line and holds for 2-3 bars
- Confirms selling pressure is increasing
- Expect price decline
3. **Exit:** Take profits at next signal or use price support/resistance

---
### **Strategy 2: Zero Line Bounce (Intermediate)**
**Setup:**
- Signal Filter Type: **Strength-Based**
- Min Z-Score Strength: **0.5**
- Show Z-Score StdDev Zones: **ON**
**Rules:**
1. **Watch OBV approach zero line** during established trends
- OBV bouncing repeatedly off zero = trend is healthy
- OBV breaking through zero = trend reversal imminent
2. **Enter on bounce:** Buy when OBV bounces from zero line in uptrend
3. **Exit on break:** Close position when OBV breaks below zero line
4. **Confirm with Z-Score:** Only take trades when Z-Score shows momentum (|Z| > 0.5)

---
### **Strategy 3: Momentum Extremes (Advanced)**
**Setup:**
- Signal Filter Type: **None**
- Show Z-Score StdDev Zones: **ON**
- Outer Zone: **2.0**
**Rules:**
1. **Identify extremes:** When Z-Score breaks outer zone (±2.0)
- Indicator is in extreme territory
- Likely overextended
2. **Fade extremes:** Take opposite position when Z-Score hits extreme
- High Z (>2.0) = OBV overbought, expect pullback
- Low Z (<-2.0) = OBV oversold, expect bounce
3. **Confirm:** Wait for crossover signal to enter
4. **Target:** Outer zone of opposite side or zero line
**Best For:** Range trading, mean reversion, experienced traders only

## Common Questions & Troubleshooting
**Q: Why are there more sell signals than buy signals?**
A: This reflects the actual market action. Markets often decline faster than they rise (fear > greed). Confirm signals with price action and support/resistance.
**Q: The indicator keeps whipsawing, should I hide it?**
A: Increase Confirmation Bars to 3-4 or switch to Strength-Based filter. Market conditions matter—choppy markets require stricter filters.
**Q: What's the difference between normalized and raw OBV?**
A: Normalized (detrended) shows shorter-term momentum by removing long-term trends. Raw OBV shows absolute accumulation/distribution over the full period. Use normalized for swing signals, raw for trend confirmation.
**Q: My signals come too late. How do I get faster entry?**
A: Reduce Smoothing Length (try 14 instead of 21), use EMA instead of SMA, or set Confirmation Bars to 1. Trade-off: More false signals.
**Q: Can I use this for day trading?**
A: Yes, on 1m-5m charts with aggressive settings. Use Confirmation Bars: 1 and focus on Z-Score > 0.5 entries only.
**Q: Should I trade every signal?**
A: No. Filter signals using: price near support/resistance, multiple indicators confirming, and Z-Score showing momentum. Best signals occur at key levels.

## Best Practices
1. **Always confirm with price action:** OBV signals work best when price is near support, resistance, or moving average. Don't trade signals in a vacuum.
2. **Use volume context:** Check if volume is increasing or decreasing on the signal. Strong signals have volume confirmation (increasing volume on OBV spikes).
3. **Adjust settings per timeframe:**
- 1m-5m: Smoothing 12, Confirmation 1, Z-Score 0.2
- 15m-1h: Smoothing 20, Confirmation 2, Z-Score 0.3
- 4h-1d: Smoothing 25, Confirmation 3, Z-Score 0.5
4. **Watch the zero line:** It's your friend. OBV behavior at the zero line reveals trend strength. Bounces = healthy trend. Breaks = reversal.
5. **Risk management:** No indicator is perfect. Use proper position sizing and stop losses. OBV should confirm your thesis, not be the only reason to trade.
6. **Combine with other indicators:**
- Price moving averages for trend confirmation
- RSI or Stochastic for overbought/oversold levels
- Support/resistance for entry/exit zones
- MACD for momentum divergences

Dynamic Support and Resistance ### Indicator: Dynamic Support and Resistance
#### Overview:
The *Dynamic Support and Resistance* indicator is a powerful tool designed to help traders identify key price levels on a chart. It dynamically calculates support and resistance levels based on pivot points and the Average True Range (ATR). The indicator also highlights broken support and resistance zones, providing visual cues for potential trend reversals or continuations.
---
### Key Features:
1. *Dynamic Support and Resistance Levels*:
- The indicator identifies support and resistance levels using pivot highs and lows within a user-defined range.
- These levels are adjusted using the ATR to account for market volatility, making them more responsive to changing market conditions.
2. *Support and Resistance Zones*:
- The indicator draws boxes around the support and resistance levels, with customizable colors and widths.
- The width of the zones is determined by the ATR and a user-defined multiplier, allowing traders to adjust the sensitivity of the zones.
3. *Broken Zones*:
- When price breaks through a support or resistance zone, the zone is highlighted with a distinct color to indicate a potential shift in market sentiment.
- Traders can limit the number of broken zones displayed on the chart to avoid clutter.
4. *Customizable Inputs*:
- *Range Candle Count*: Defines the number of candles analyzed to determine pivot points. Increasing this value will result in fewer but more significant levels, while decreasing it will produce more levels that are sensitive to shorter-term price movements.
- *ATR Period*: Controls the sensitivity of the ATR calculation. A shorter period makes the ATR more responsive to recent price changes, while a longer period smooths it out.
- *Box Width Multiplier*: Adjusts the width of the support and resistance zones. A higher multiplier creates wider zones, which may be useful in more volatile markets.
- *Max Broken Zones*: Limits the number of broken zones displayed on the chart. This helps keep the chart clean and focused on the most recent breaks.

### How It Works:
1. *Pivot Points*:
- The indicator identifies pivot highs and lows within the specified range. These pivots serve as the basis for calculating support and resistance levels.
2. *ATR Adjustment*:
- The ATR is used to adjust the support and resistance levels, making them more dynamic and responsive to market volatility.
3. *Zone Creation*:
- Support and resistance zones are drawn as boxes around the pivot levels. The width of these zones is determined by the ATR and the box width multiplier.
4. *Zone Breaks*:
- When price breaks through a zone, the zone is highlighted with a distinct color, and the broken zone is added to an array. If the number of broken zones exceeds the user-defined limit, the oldest broken zone is removed from the chart.

### How to Use:
1. *Trend Identification*:
- Use the support and resistance levels to identify key price levels where the market may reverse or consolidate.
- Broken zones can signal potential trend reversals or continuations.
2. *Entry and Exit Points*:
- Traders can use the support and resistance zones as potential entry or exit points. For example, buying near support or selling near resistance.
- Broken zones can be used as confirmation for breakout strategies.
3. *Risk Management*:
- The width of the zones can help traders set stop-loss levels. For example, placing a stop-loss just outside a support or resistance zone.
4. *Customization*:
- Adjust the input parameters to suit your trading style and the specific market conditions. For example, increase the range candle count for longer-term analysis or decrease it for shorter-term trading.
