Moving Average TransformThe MAT is essentially a different kind of smoothed moving average. It is made to filter out data sets that deviate from the specified absolute threshold and the result becomes a smoothing function. The goal here, inspired by time series analysis within mathematical study, is to eliminate data anomalies and generate a more accurate trendline.
Functionality:
This script calculates a filtered average by:
Determining the mean of the entire data series.
Initializing sum and count variables.
Iterating through the data to filter values that deviate from the mean beyond the threshold.
Calculating a filtered mean based on the filtered data.
The filtered mean is then passed through a moving average function, where various types of moving averages like SMA, EMA, DEMA, TEMA, and ALMA can be applied. Some popular averages such as the HMA were omitted due to their heavy dependency on weighing specific data points.
Some information from "Time Series Analysis" regarding deviations
Definition of Anomaly: An anomaly or outlier is a data point that differs significantly from other observations in the dataset. It can be caused by various reasons such as measurement errors, data entry errors, or genuine extreme observations.
Impact on Mean: The mean (or average) of a dataset is calculated by summing all the values and dividing by the number of values. Since the mean is sensitive to extreme values, even a single outlier can significantly skew the mean.
Example: Consider a simple time series dataset: . The value "150" is an anomaly in this context. If we calculate the mean with this outlier, it is (10 + 12 + 11 + 9 + 150) / 5 = 38.4. However, if we exclude the outlier, the mean becomes (10 + 12 + 11 + 9) / 4 = 10.5. The presence of the outlier has substantially increased the mean.
Accuracy and Representativeness: While the mean calculated without outliers might be more "accurate" in the sense of being more representative of the central tendency of the bulk of the data, it's essential to note that anomalies might convey important information about the system being studied. Blindly removing or ignoring them might lead to overlooking significant events or phenomena.

ICT Silver Bullet [LuxAlgo]The ICT Silver Bullet indicator is inspired from the lectures of "The Inner Circle Trader" (ICT) and highlights the Silver Bullet (SB) window which is a specific 1-hour interval where a Fair Value Gap (FVG) pattern can be formed.
When a FVG is formed during the Silver Bullet window, Support & Resistance lines will be drawn at the end of the SB session.
There are 3 different Silver Bullet windows (New York local time):
The London Open Silver Bullet (3 AM — 4 AM ~ 03:00 — 04:00)
The AM Session Silver Bullet (10 AM — 11 AM ~ 10:00 — 11:00)
The PM Session Silver Bullet (2 PM — 3 PM ~ 14:00 — 15:00)
🔶 USAGE
The ICT Silver Bullet indicator aims to provide users a comprehensive display as similar as possible to how anyone would manually draw the concept on their charts.
It's important to use anything below the 15-minute timeframe to ensure proper setups can display. In this section, we are purely using the 3-minute timeframe.
In the image below, we can see a bullish setup whereas a FVG was successfully retested during the Silver Bullet session. This was then followed by a move upwards to liquidity as our target.
Alternatively, you can also see below a bearish setup utilizing the ICT Silver Bullet indicator outlined.
At this moment, the indicator has removed all other FVGs within the Silver Bullet session & has confirmed this FVG as the retested one.
There is also a support level marked below to be used as a liquidity target as per the ICT Silver Bullet concept suggests.
In the below chart we can see 4 separate consecutive examples of bullish & bearish setups on the 3-minute chart.
🔶 CONCEPTS
This technique can visualize potential support/resistance lines, which can be used as targets.
The script contains 2 main components:
• forming of a Fair Value Gap (FVG)
• drawing support/resistance (S/R) lines
🔹 Forming of FVG
1 basic principle: when a FVG at the end of the SB session is not retraced, it will be made invisible.
Dependable on the settings, different FVG's will be shown.
• 'All FVG': all FVG's are shown, regardless the trend
• 'Only FVG's in the same direction of trend': Only FVG's are shown that are similar to the trend at that moment (trend can be visualized by enabling ' Show ' -> ' Trend ')
-> only bearish FVG when the trend is bearish vs. bullish FVG when trend is bullish
• 'strict': Besides being similar to the trend, only FVG's are shown when the closing price at the end of the SB session is:
– below the top of the FVG box (bearish FVG)
– above bottom of the FVG box (bullish FVG)
• 'super-strict': Besides being similar to the trend, only FVG's are shown when the FVG box is NOT broken
in the opposite direction AND the closing price at the end of the SB session is:
– below bottom of the FVG box (bearish FVG)
– above the top of the FVG box (bullish FVG)
' Super-Strict ' mode resembles ICT lectures the most.
🔹 Drawing support/resistance lines
When the SB session has ended, the script draws potential support/resistance lines, again, dependable on the settings.
• Previous session (any): S/R lines are fetched between current and previous session.
For example, when current session is ' AM SB Session (10 AM — 11 AM) ', then previous session is
' London Open SB (3 AM — 4 AM) ', S/R lines between these 2 sessions alone will be included.
• Previous session (similar): S/R lines are fetched between current and previous - similar - session.
For example, when current session is ' London Open SB (3 AM — 4 AM)' , only S/R lines between
current session and previous ' London Open SB (3 AM — 4 AM) ' session are included.
When a new session starts, S/R lines will be removed, except when enabling ' Keep lines (only in strict mode) '
This is not possible in ' All FVG ' or ' Only FVG's in the same direction of trend ' mode, since the chart would be cluttered.
Note that in ' All FVG ' or ' Only FVG's in the same direction of trend ' mode, both, Support/Resistance lines will be shown,
while in Strict/Super-Strict mode:
• only Support lines will be shown if a bearish FVG appears
• only Resistance lines if a bullish FVG is shown
The lines will still be drawn the the end of the SB session, when a valid FVG appears,
but the S/R lines will remain visible and keep being updated until price reaches that line.
This publication contains a "Minimum Trade Framework (mTFW)", which represents the best-case expected price delivery, this is not your actual trade entry - exit range.
• 40 ticks for index futures or indices
• 15 pips for Forex pairs.
When on ' Strict/Super-Strict ' mode, only S/R lines will be shown which are:
• higher than the lowest FVG bottom + mTFW, in a bullish scenario
• lower than the highest FVG bottom - mTFW, in a bearish scenario
When on ' All FVG/Only FVG's in the same direction of trend ' mode, or on non-Forex/Futures/Indices symbols, S/R needs to be higher/lower than SB session high/low.
🔶 SETTINGS
(Check CONCEPTS for deeper insights and explanation)

Variety N-Tuple Moving Averages w/ Variety Stepping [Loxx]Variety N-Tuple Moving Averages w/ Variety Stepping is a moving average indicator that allows you to create 1- 30 tuple moving average types; i.e., Double-MA, Triple-MA, Quadruple-MA, Quintuple-MA, ... N-tuple-MA. This version contains 2 different moving average types. For example, using "50" as the depth will give you Quinquagintuple Moving Average. If you'd like to find the name of the moving average type you create with the depth input with this indicator, you can find a list of tuples here: Tuples extrapolated
Due to the coding required to adapt a moving average to fit into this indicator, additional moving average types will be added as they are created to fit into this unique use case. Since this is a work in process, there will be many future updates of this indicator. For now, you can choose from either EMA or RMA.
This indicator is also considered one of the top 10 forex indicators. See details here: forex-station.com
Additionally, this indicator is a computationally faster, more streamlined version of the following indicators with the addition of 6 stepping functions and 6 different bands/channels types.
STD-Stepped, Variety N-Tuple Moving Averages
STD-Stepped, Variety N-Tuple Moving Averages is the standard deviation stepped/filtered indicator of the following indicator
Last but not least, a big shoutout to @lejmer for his help in formulating a looping solution for this streamlined version. this indicator is speedy even at 50 orders deep. You can find his scripts here: www.tradingview.com
How this works
Step 1: Run factorial calculation on the depth value,
Step 2: Calculate weights of nested moving averages
factorial(depth) / (factorial(depth - k) * factorial(k); where depth is the depth and k is the weight position
Examples of coefficient outputs:
6 Depth: 6 15 20 15 6
7 Depth: 7 21 35 35 21 7
8 Depth: 8 28 56 70 56 28 8
9 Depth: 9 36 34 84 126 126 84 36 9
10 Depth: 10 45 120 210 252 210 120 45 10
11 Depth: 11 55 165 330 462 462 330 165 55 11
12 Depth: 12 66 220 495 792 924 792 495 220 66 12
13 Depth: 13 78 286 715 1287 1716 1716 1287 715 286 78 13
Step 3: Apply coefficient to each moving average
For QEMA, which is 5 depth EMA , the calculation is as follows
ema1 = ta. ema ( src , length)
ema2 = ta. ema (ema1, length)
ema3 = ta. ema (ema2, length)
ema4 = ta. ema (ema3, length)
ema5 = ta. ema (ema4, length)
In this new streamlined version, these MA calculations are packed into an array inside loop so Pine doesn't have to keep all possible series information in memory. This is handled with the following code:
temp = array.get(workarr, k + 1) + alpha * (array.get(workarr, k) - array.get(workarr, k + 1))
array.set(workarr, k + 1, temp)
After we pack the array, we apply the coefficients to derive the NTMA:
qema = 5 * ema1 - 10 * ema2 + 10 * ema3 - 5 * ema4 + ema5
Stepping calculations
First off, you can filter by both price and/or MA output. Both price and MA output can be filtered/stepped in their own way. You'll see two selectors in the input settings. Default is ATR ATR. Here's how stepping works in simple terms: if the price/MA output doesn't move by X deviations, then revert to the price/MA output one bar back.
ATR
The average true range (ATR) is a technical analysis indicator, introduced by market technician J. Welles Wilder Jr. in his book New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems, that measures market volatility by decomposing the entire range of an asset price for that period.
Standard Deviation
Standard deviation is a statistic that measures the dispersion of a dataset relative to its mean and is calculated as the square root of the variance. The standard deviation is calculated as the square root of variance by determining each data point's deviation relative to the mean. If the data points are further from the mean, there is a higher deviation within the data set; thus, the more spread out the data, the higher the standard deviation.
Adaptive Deviation
By definition, the Standard Deviation (STD, also represented by the Greek letter sigma σ or the Latin letter s) is a measure that is used to quantify the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of data values. In technical analysis we usually use it to measure the level of current volatility .
Standard Deviation is based on Simple Moving Average calculation for mean value. This version of standard deviation uses the properties of EMA to calculate what can be called a new type of deviation, and since it is based on EMA , we can call it EMA deviation. And added to that, Perry Kaufman's efficiency ratio is used to make it adaptive (since all EMA type calculations are nearly perfect for adapting).
The difference when compared to standard is significant--not just because of EMA usage, but the efficiency ratio makes it a "bit more logical" in very volatile market conditions.
See how this compares to Standard Devaition here:
Adaptive Deviation
Median Absolute Deviation
The median absolute deviation is a measure of statistical dispersion. Moreover, the MAD is a robust statistic, being more resilient to outliers in a data set than the standard deviation. In the standard deviation, the distances from the mean are squared, so large deviations are weighted more heavily, and thus outliers can heavily influence it. In the MAD, the deviations of a small number of outliers are irrelevant.
Because the MAD is a more robust estimator of scale than the sample variance or standard deviation, it works better with distributions without a mean or variance, such as the Cauchy distribution.
For this indicator, I used a manual recreation of the quantile function in Pine Script. This is so users have a full inside view into how this is calculated.
Efficiency-Ratio Adaptive ATR
Average True Range (ATR) is widely used indicator in many occasions for technical analysis . It is calculated as the RMA of true range. This version adds a "twist": it uses Perry Kaufman's Efficiency Ratio to calculate adaptive true range
See how this compares to ATR here:
ER-Adaptive ATR
Mean Absolute Deviation
The mean absolute deviation (MAD) is a measure of variability that indicates the average distance between observations and their mean. MAD uses the original units of the data, which simplifies interpretation. Larger values signify that the data points spread out further from the average. Conversely, lower values correspond to data points bunching closer to it. The mean absolute deviation is also known as the mean deviation and average absolute deviation.
This definition of the mean absolute deviation sounds similar to the standard deviation (SD). While both measure variability, they have different calculations. In recent years, some proponents of MAD have suggested that it replace the SD as the primary measure because it is a simpler concept that better fits real life.
For Pine Coders, this is equivalent of using ta.dev()
Bands/Channels
See the information above for how bands/channels are calculated. After the one of the above deviations is calculated, the channels are calculated as output +/- deviation * multiplier

Green is uptrend, red is downtrend, yellow "L" signal is Long, fuchsia "S" signal is short.

STD-Stepped, You'll notice that this is a lot of code and could normally be packed into a single loop in order to extract the N-tuple MA, however due to Pine Script limitations and processing paradigm this is not possible ... yet.
If you choose the EMA option and select a depth of 2, this is the classic DEMA ; EMA with a depth of 3 is the classic TEMA , and so on and so forth this is to help you understand how this indicator works. This version of NTMA is restricted to a maximum depth of 30 or less. Normally this indicator would include 50 depths but I've cut this down to 30 to reduce indicator load time. In the future, I'll create an updated NTMA that allows for more depth levels.

Weighted percentile nearest rankYo, posting it for the whole internet, took the whole day to find / to design the actual working solution for weighted percentile 'nearest rank' algorithm, almost no reliable info online and a lot of library-style/textbook-style solutions that don't provide on real world production level.
The principle:
0) initial data
data = 22, 33, 11, 44, 55
weights = 5 , 3 , 2 , 1 , 4
array(s) size = 5
1) sort data array, apply the sorting pattern to the weights array, resulting:
data = 11, 22, 33, 44, 55
weights = 2 , 5 , 3 , 1 , 4
2) get weights cumsum and sum:
weights = 2, 5, 3 , 1 , 4
weights_cum = 2, 7, 10, 11, 15
weights_sum = 15
3) say we wanna find 50th percentile, get a threshold value:
n = 50
thres = weights_sum / 100 * n
7.5 = 15 / 100 * 50
4) iterate through weights_cum until you find a value that >= the threshold:
for i = 0 to size - 1
2 >= 7.5 ? nah
7 >= 7.5 ? nah
10 >= 7.5 ? aye
5) take the iteration index that resulted "aye", and find the data value with the same index, that's gonna be the resulting percentile.
i = 2
data = 33
This one is not an approximation, not an estimator, it's the actual weighted percentile nearest rank as it is.
I tested the thing extensively and it works perfectly.
For the skeptics, check lines 40, 41, 69 in the code, you can comment/uncomment dem to switch for unit (1) weights, resulting in the usual non-weighted percentile nearest rank that ideally matches the TV's built-in function.

z_score_bgd
Z-score indicator for volatile currency pairs, showing STRONG BUY, BUY, SELL, STRONG SELL zones by shading the chart background.
---------------------------------
Background
---------------------------------
Based on mean reversion, a theory that after a swing in price the price will tend back to the mean. This offers some ability to predict future trends.
The formula for calculating a z-score is is z = (x-μ)/σ, where x is the pair price, μ is the mean for a population, and σ is the population standard deviation.
---------------------------------
Set up
---------------------------------
The user can define their own value for the "window" or population, which is the number of preceding days to evaluate. This value will affect the frequency and magnitude of trades, with higher "window" values reducing the frequency of reversions but increasing their magnitude.
Where the value for "window" is left at 99, the default values below will be applied in the background. Otherwise the user's selection will be in effect.
atombtc 18
avaxbtc 21
ethbtc 18
ftmbtc 11
maticbtc 11
solbtc 11
soleth 16
The default values above are intended for the daily time-frame.
---------------------------------
Interpreting the indicator
---------------------------------
Dark green -> large deviation below mean price (strong buy)
Green -> moderate deviation below mean price (buy)
Red -> moderate deviation below mean price (sell)
Dark red -> large deviation below mean price (strong sell)
Z-score is an imperfect indicator, as with all indiciators and trading decisions must be confirmed by multiple indicators and consider other factors.
SuperTrend OptimizerHello!
This indicator attempts to optimize Supertrend parameters. To achieve this, 102 parameter combinations are tested concurrently - the top three performers are listed in descending order.
Parameters,
Factor: Changes to this parameter shifts the tested factor range. For instance, increasing the factor measure from 3.00 to 3.01 (+0.01) will remove 3.00 from the tested range - this setting controls the lower threshold of the range. The upper threshold, in all instances, is the lower Factor threshold + 3.3 (i.e. 3.0(lower) - 6.3(upper), 4.0(lower) - 7.3(upper), 2.5(lower) - 5.8(upper))
ATR period: Changes to this parameter shifts the tested ATR period range. For instance, increasing the ATR measure from 10 to 11 (+1) will remove 10 from the tested range - this setting controls the lower threshold of the range. The upper threshold, in all instances, is the lower threshold + 2 (i.e. 10(lower) - 12(upper), 11(lower) - 13(upper), 9(lower), - 11(upper))
The Factor parameter is modifiable to any positive decimal number; the ATR parameter is modifiable to any positive integer. Changing either parameter shifts the tested parameter combination range. Both parameters can be changed in the settings, to which you control the lower threshold of the range. If, for instance, you were to change the Factor measurement from 3.0 to 4.1 (+1.1) the 4.0 Factor measurement, and all Factor measures less than 4.0, will be excluded from the performance test.
Consequently, a Supertrend test will be performed with a Factor of 4.1 and an ATR period of 10 (default). This test repeats at 0.1 Factor intervals and 1.0 ATR intervals.
Therefore, assume you modify the Factor lower threshold to 3.1 and the ATR lower threshold to 10. The indicator will test three Supertrend systems with a Factor of 3.1 and an ATR period of 10.. then 11.. 12, then three systems with a Factor of 3.2 and an ATR period of 10.. then 11.. 12... until (lower Factor threshold + 3.3) and (lower ATR threshold + 2) are tested... which in this example is... a Factor of 6.4 and an ATR period of 12.
The tested Factor range and ATR range are displayed in a bottom right table alongside the top performing parameter combinations.
Of course, you can change the the lower thresholds, which means you can test numerous Supertrend parameter combinations! However, no greater than 102 parameter combinations will be tested simultaneously; the best performing Supertrend parameters are plotted on the chart automatically.
I will be working on this indicator more tomorrow! Let me know if you have questions or anything you would like included!
(I of course added something fun in the script. Be sure to try it with bar replay!)
Bear & Bull Zone Signal StrategySince I love to mix and match, here is something fresh and that actually works on the breakout of Ethereum without losing your ass on lagging indicators.
It blends some of the nice parts of my previous scripts while moving to big boy pants with a twist on the Fibonacci retracement using SMA and EMA at multiple levels to do a sanity check.
Is it too good to be true? Nope, just what happens when a Solution Architect starts messing around with crypto and applies engineering and mathematics to the mix. You get a strategy that really doesn't have high profit losses when you tweak it just the right way.
What's the right tweak you ask?
1. Start with a 30 minute timeframe and set your window start date to the date the market began the bear or bull run
2. Make sure you can see your strategy performance window (not the graph one)
3. Set Stop Loss and Target Profit to 50%
4. Use your mouse wheel or up and down arrows and mess around with the RSI, go down one at a time but no lower than 7. Whichever value displayed the highest long or short gain is the one to pick.
5. Now select long or short only based on whichever one shows the highest gain.
6. Now go to K and D, leave K as 3 and check what happens when D is 4 or 5. Leave D at the value that gives you the highest gain.
7. Now go to EMA Fast and Slow Lengths. Leave Fast at 5 and check what happens when the Slow is moved up to 11 or 12, do the gains go up. If not, check what happens when Slow is moved down to 9, 8, or 7. Whichever gives you the highest gain, leave it there. Now go mess with the fast length, keep in mind that fast must always be less than slow. So check values down to 3 and up to 6. Same concept, mo money...leave it be.
8. Now go mess with the Target Profit, I start at 5, hit enter, then go to 7, hit enter, then 9...up by 2 until I get to 21 to make sure I don't hastily pick a low one and always keep in mind between which values the gain switched from high to low. For example, in this example I published at 11 it was $5k and at 13 it was $3700 for the gains. So after I got up to 21 I went back to 11 and started going up by 0.01 steps until the value dropped, which was at 11.19 so I set it at 11.18.
9. Now stop loss is trickier, you've maximized the gains, which means if you set the stop loss at a low value you will sacrifice gains. Typically by this point your loss is less than 10% with this script. So, my approach is to find the value where the stop loss doesn't change what I've tweaked already. In this example, I did the same start at 5 and go up by 2 and saw that when I went to 17 it stopped changing. So I started going back down by 0.5 and saw at 15.5 the gains went lower again. Now I started going back up in steps of 0.01 and at 15.98 it went back to the high gain I already tweaked for. I kept stop loss there and unleashed the strategy on ETH.
So far so good, no bad trades and it's been behaving pretty well.
Universal Global SessionUniversal Global Session
This Script combines the world sessions of: Stocks, Forex, Bitcoin Kill Zones, strategic points, all configurable, in a single Script, to capitalize the opening and closing times of global exchanges as investment assets, becoming an Universal Global Session .
It is based on the great work of @oscarvs ( BITCOIN KILL ZONES v2 ) and the scripts of @ChrisMoody. Thank you Oscar and Chris for your excellent judgment and great work.
At the end of this writing you can find all the internet references of the extensive documentation that I present here. To maximize your benefits in the use of this Script, I recommend that you read the entire document to create an objective and practical criterion.
All the hours of the different exchanges are presented at GMT -6. In Market24hClock you can adjust it to your preferences.
After a deep investigation I have been able to show that the different world sessions reveal underlying investment cycles, where it is possible to find sustained changes in the nominal behavior of the trend before the passage from one session to another and in the natural overlaps between the sessions. These underlying movements generally occur 15 minutes before the start, close or overlap of the session, when the session properly starts and also 15 minutes after respectively. Therefore, this script is designed to highlight these particular trending behaviors. Try it, discover your own conclusions and let me know in the notes, thank you.
Foreign Exchange Market Hours
It is the schedule by which currency market participants can buy, sell, trade and speculate on currencies all over the world. It is open 24 hours a day during working days and closes on weekends, thanks to the fact that operations are carried out through a network of information systems, instead of physical exchanges that close at a certain time. It opens Monday morning at 8 am local time in Sydney —Australia— (which is equivalent to Sunday night at 7 pm, in New York City —United States—, according to Eastern Standard Time), and It closes at 5pm local time in New York City (which is equivalent to 6am Saturday morning in Sydney).
The Forex market is decentralized and driven by local sessions, where the hours of Forex trading are based on the opening range of each active country, becoming an efficient transfer mechanism for all participants. Four territories in particular stand out: Sydney, Tokyo, London and New York, where the highest volume of operations occurs when the sessions in London and New York overlap. Furthermore, Europe is complemented by major financial centers such as Paris, Frankfurt and Zurich. Each day of forex trading begins with the opening of Australia, then Asia, followed by Europe, and finally North America. As markets in one region close, another opens - or has already opened - and continues to trade in the currency market. The seven most traded currencies in the world are: the US dollar, the euro, the Japanese yen, the British pound, the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar, and the New Zealand dollar.
Currencies are needed around the world for international trade, this means that operations are not dominated by a single exchange market, but rather involve a global network of brokers from around the world, such as banks, commercial companies, central banks, companies investment management, hedge funds, as well as retail forex brokers and global investors. Because this market operates in multiple time zones, it can be accessed at any time except during the weekend, therefore, there is continuously at least one open market and there are some hours of overlap between the closing of the market of one region and the opening of another. The international scope of currency trading means that there are always traders around the world making and satisfying demands for a particular currency.
The market involves a global network of exchanges and brokers from around the world, although time zones overlap, the generally accepted time zone for each region is as follows:
Sydney 5pm to 2am EST (10pm to 7am UTC)
London 3am to 12 noon EST (8pm to 5pm UTC)
New York 8am to 5pm EST (1pm to 10pm UTC)
Tokyo 7pm to 4am EST (12am to 9am UTC)
Trading Session
A financial asset trading session refers to a period of time that coincides with the daytime trading hours for a given location, it is a business day in the local financial market. This may vary according to the asset class and the country, therefore operators must know the hours of trading sessions for the securities and derivatives in which they are interested in trading. If investors can understand market hours and set proper targets, they will have a much greater chance of making a profit within a workable schedule.
Kill Zones
Kill zones are highly liquid events. Many different market participants often come together and perform around these events. The activity itself can be event-driven (margin calls or option exercise-related activity), portfolio management-driven (asset allocation rebalancing orders and closing buy-in), or institutionally driven (larger players needing liquidity to complete the size) or a combination of any of the three. This intense cross-current of activity at a very specific point in time often occurs near significant technical levels and the established trends emerging from these events often persist until the next Death Zone approaches or enters.
Kill Zones are evolving with time and the course of world history. Since the end of World War II, New York has slowly invaded London's place as the world center for commercial banking. So much so that during the latter part of the 20th century, New York was considered the new center of the financial universe. With the end of the cold war, that leadership appears to have shifted towards Europe and away from the United States. Furthermore, Japan has slowly lost its former dominance in the global economic landscape, while Beijing's has increased dramatically. Only time will tell how these death zones will evolve given the ever-changing political, economic, and socioeconomic influences of each region.
Financial Markets
New York
New York (NYSE Chicago, NASDAQ)
7:30 am - 2:00 pm
It is the second largest currency platform in the world, followed largely by foreign investors as it participates in 90% of all operations, where movements on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) can have an immediate effect (powerful) on the dollar, for example, when companies merge and acquisitions are finalized, the dollar can instantly gain or lose value.
A. Complementary Stock Exchanges
Brazil (BOVESPA - Brazilian Stock Exchange)
07:00 am - 02:55 pm
Canada (TSX - Toronto Stock Exchange)
07:30 am - 02:00 pm
New York (NYSE - New York Stock Exchange)
08:30 am - 03:00 pm
B. North American Trading Session
07:00 am - 03:00 pm
(from the beginning of the business day on NYSE and NASDAQ, until the end of the New York session)
New York, Chicago and Toronto (Canada) open the North American session. Characterized by the most aggressive trading within the markets, currency pairs show high volatility. As the US markets open, trading is still active in Europe, however trading volume generally decreases with the end of the European session and the overlap between the US and Europe.
C. Strategic Points
US main session starts in 1 hour
07:30 am
The euro tends to drop before the US session. The NYSE, CHX and TSX (Canada) trading sessions begin 1 hour after this strategic point. The North American session begins trading Forex at 07:00 am.
This constitutes the beginning of the overlap of the United States and the European market that spans from 07:00 am to 10:35 am, often called the best time to trade EUR / USD, it is the period of greatest liquidity for the main European currencies since it is where they have their widest daily ranges.
When New York opens at 07:00 am the most intense trading begins in both the US and European markets. The overlap of European and American trading sessions has 80% of the total average trading range for all currency pairs during US business hours and 70% of the total average trading range for all currency pairs during European business hours. The intersection of the US and European sessions are the most volatile overlapping hours of all.
Influential news and data for the USD are released between 07:30 am and 09:00 am and play the biggest role in the North American Session. These are the strategically most important moments of this activity period: 07:00 am, 08:00 am and 08:30 am.
The main session of operations in the United States and Canada begins
08:30 am
Start of main trading sessions in New York, Chicago and Toronto. The European session still overlaps the North American session and this is the time for large-scale unpredictable trading. The United States leads the market. It is difficult to interpret the news due to speculation. Trends develop very quickly and it is difficult to identify them, however trends (especially for the euro), which have developed during the overlap, often turn the other way when Europe exits the market.
Second hour of the US session and last hour of the European session
09:30 am
End of the European session
10:35 am
The trend of the euro will change rapidly after the end of the European session.
Last hour of the United States session
02:00 pm
Institutional clients and very large funds are very active during the first and last working hours of almost all stock exchanges, knowing this allows to better predict price movements in the opening and closing of large markets. Within the last trading hours of the secondary market session, a pullback can often be seen in the EUR / USD that continues until the opening of the Tokyo session. Generally it happens if there was an upward price movement before 04:00 pm - 05:00 pm.
End of the trade session in the United States
03:00 pm
D. Kill Zones
11:30 am - 1:30 pm
New York Kill Zone. The United States is still the world's largest economy, so by default, the New York opening carries a lot of weight and often comes with a huge injection of liquidity. In fact, most of the world's marketable assets are priced in US dollars, making political and economic activity within this region even more important. Because it is relatively late in the world's trading day, this Death Zone often sees violent price swings within its first hour, leading to the proven adage "never trust the first hour of trading in America. North.

London
London (LSE - London Stock Exchange)
02:00 am - 10:35 am
Britain dominates the currency markets around the world, and London is its main component. London, a central trading capital of the world, accounts for about 43% of world trade, many Forex trends often originate from London.

It is a very liquid trading session, where trends are set that start during the first trading hours in Europe and generally continue until the beginning of the US session.
C. Middle East Trading Session
12:00 am - 06:00 am
(from the opening of the Dubai session to the end of the Riyadh session)

End of the Singapore and Asia sessions
03:00 am
The euro rises almost immediately or an hour after Singapore exits the market.
Middle East Oil Markets Completion Process
05:00 am
Operations are ending in the European-Asian market, at which time Dubai, Qatar and in another hour in Riyadh, which constitute the Middle East oil markets, are closing. Because oil trading is done in US dollars, and the region with the trading day coming to an end no longer needs the dollar, consequently, the euro tends to grow more frequently.
End of the Middle East trading session
06:00 am
E. Kill Zones
5:00 am - 7:00 am
London Kill Zone. Considered the center of the financial universe for more than 500 years, Europe still has a lot of influence in the banking world. Many older players use the European session to establish their positions. As such, the London Open often sees the most significant trend-setting activity on any trading day. In fact, it has been suggested that 80% of all weekly trends are set through the London Kill Zone on Tuesday.
F. Kill Zones (close)
2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

09:45 pm - 04:00 am
B. Asian Trading Session
06:00 pm - 03:00 am
From the opening of the Tokyo session to the end of the Singapore session
The first major Asian market to open is Tokyo which has the largest market share and is the third largest Forex trading center in the world. Singapore opens in an hour, and then the Chinese markets: Shanghai and Hong Kong open 30 minutes later. With them, the trading volume increases and begins a large-scale operation in the Asia-Pacific region, offering more liquidity for the Asian-Pacific currencies and their crosses. When European countries open their doors, more liquidity will be offered to Asian and European crossings.
C. Strategic Points
Second hour of the Tokyo session
07:00 pm
This session also opens the Singapore market. The commercial dynamics grows in anticipation of the opening of the two largest Chinese markets in 30 minutes: Shanghai and Hong Kong, within these 30 minutes or just before the China session begins, the euro usually falls until the same moment of the opening of Shanghai and Hong Kong.
Second hour of the China session
08:30 pm
Hong Kong and Shanghai start trading and the euro usually grows for more than an hour. The EUR / USD pair mixes up as Asian exporters convert part of their earnings into both US dollars and euros.
Last hour of the Tokyo session
11:00 pm
End of the Tokyo session
12:00 am
If the euro has been actively declining up to this time, China will raise the euro after the Tokyo shutdown. Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore remain open and take matters into their own hands causing the growth of the euro. Asia is a huge commercial and industrial region with a large number of high-quality economic products and gigantic financial turnover, making the number of transactions on the stock exchanges huge during the Asian session. That is why traders, who entered the trade at the opening of the London session, should pay attention to their terminals when Asia exits the market.
End of the Shanghai session
01:00 am
The trade ends in Shanghai. This is the last trading hour of the Hong Kong session, during which market activity peaks.
D. Kill Zones
10:00 pm - 2:00 am
Asian Kill Zone. Considered the "Institutional" Zone, this zone represents both the launch pad for new trends as well as a recharge area for the post-American session. It is the beginning of a new day (or week) for the world and as such it makes sense that this zone often sets the tone for the remainder of the global business day. It is ideal to pay attention to the opening of Tokyo, Beijing and Sydney.

Sidney
Sydney (ASX - Australia Stock Exchange)
06:00 pm - 12:00 am
A. Complementary Stock Exchange
New Zealand (NZX - New Zealand Stock Exchange)
04:00 pm - 10:45 pm
It's where the global trading day officially begins. While it is the smallest of the megamarkets, it sees a lot of initial action when markets reopen Sunday afternoon as individual traders and financial institutions are trying to regroup after the long hiatus since Friday afternoon. On weekdays it constitutes the end of the current trading day where the change in the settlement date occurs.
B. Pacific Trading Session
04:00 pm - 12:00 am
(from the opening of the Wellington session to the end of the Sydney session)
Forex begins its business hours when Wellington (New Zealand Exchange) opens local time on Monday. Sydney (Australian Stock Exchange) opens in 2 hours. It is a session with a fairly low volatility, configuring itself as the calmest session of all. Strong movements appear when influential news is published and when the Pacific session overlaps the Asian Session.
C. Strategic Points
End of the Sydney session
12:00 am

Conclusions
The best time to trade is during overlaps in trading times between open markets. Overlaps equate to higher price ranges, creating greater opportunities.
Regarding press releases (news), it should be noted that these in the currency markets have the power to improve a normally slow trading period. When a major announcement is made regarding economic data, especially when it goes against the predicted forecast, the coin can lose or gain value in a matter of seconds. In general, the more economic growth a country produces, the more positive the economy is for international investors. Investment capital tends to flow to countries that are believed to have good growth prospects and subsequently good investment opportunities, leading to the strengthening of the country's exchange rate. Also, a country that has higher interest rates through its government bonds tends to attract investment capital as foreign investors seek high-yield opportunities. However, stable economic growth and attractive yields or interest rates are inextricably intertwined. It's important to take advantage of market overlaps and keep an eye out for press releases when setting up a trading schedule.

Back to zero: Understanding seriestype: pine series basic example
time required: 10 minutes
level: medium (need to know the "array" data variable as a generic programming concept, basic Pine syntax)
tl;dr how variables and series work in Pine
Pine is an array/vector language. That's something that twists how it behaves, and how we have to think about it. A lot of misunderstandings come from forgetting this fact. This example tries to clear that concept.
First, you need to know what an array is, and how it works in a programmig language. Also, having javascript under your belt helps too. If you don't, google "javascript array basic tutorial" is your friend :)
So, in pine arrays are called "series". Every variable is an array with values for each candle in the chart. if we do:
myVar = true
this is not a constant. It is a series of values for each candle, { true, true,....., true }
In practice, the result is the same, but we can access each of the values in the series, like myVar{0}, myVar{7}, myVar{anyNumber}....
Again, it is not a constant, since you can access/modify the each value individually
so, lets show it:
plot (myVar, clolor = gray)
this plots an horizontal line of value 1 ( 1 is equal to true ) so it's all good.
On to a more usual series:
tipicalSeries = close > open ? true : false
plot(tipicalSeries, color= blue)
This gives the expected result, a tipical up and down line with values at 1 or 0. Naturally, "tipicalSeries" is an array, the "ups" and "downs" are all stored under the same variable, indexed by the candles.
In Pine, the ZERO position in the array is the last one, which corresponds to the last candle on the right. Say you have a chart with 12 candles. The close would be the closing value of what we intuitively think as first candle, the one on the left. then close ... and so on.... until close , the value of the "last" candle, the one on the right. It actually helps to start thinking of the positions backwards, counting down to zero, rocket launch style :)
And back to our series. The myVar will also be the same size, from myVar to myVar .
When we do some operation with them, something simple like
if ( myVar == tipicalSeries)
what is really happening is that internally, Pine is checking each of the indexes, as in myVar == tipicalSeries , myVar == tipicalSeries .... myVar == tipicalSeries
And we can store that stuff to check it. simply:
result = (myVar == tipicalSeries) ? true : false //yes, this is the same as tipicalSeries, but we're not in a boolean logic tut ;)
plot (result)
The reason we can plot the result is that it is an array, not a single value. The example indicator i provide shows a plot where the values are obtained from different places in the array, this line here:
mySeries3 = mySeries2 and mySeries1
this creates a series that is the result of the PREVIOUS values stored (the zero index is the one most at the right, or the "current" one), which here just causes a shift in the plotted line by one candle.
Go ahead, grab a copy of my code, try to change the indexes and see the results. Understanding this stuff is critical to go deeper into Pine :)
US Sessions - New Age 🚀 US SESSIONS - NEW AGE
Finally. A session indicator that doesn't look like it was made in 2005.
Welcome to the New Age. 🔮
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 WHAT IT DOES
Visualizes US market sessions with NEON style backgrounds:
🌙 Premarket (04:00-09:30 NY) — Bright Green
🔔 US Open (09:30-11:30 NY) — Cyan
🍔 Lunch Break (11:30-13:30 NY) — Silver
📈 Afternoon (13:30-15:30 NY) — Red
🌃 After Hours (15:30-20:00 NY) — Orange
All times are automatically synced to New York timezone (EST/EDT).
No more manual calculations. No more confusion. Just works.™
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⭐ BONUS: ORB BOX (Opening Range Breakout)
This is the secret weapon. 🔥
The indicator automatically draws a NEON GLOWING box around the first 15 minutes of trading (9:30-9:45 NY). This is the Opening Range — one of the most powerful concepts in day trading.
📦 HOW THE ORB BOX WORKS:
- Box shows the HIGH and LOW of the first 15-minute candle
- Box extends from 9:45 until 15:30 (end of regular session)
- 🔵 CYAN GLOW = Price is ABOVE the ORB → Bullish bias
- 🔴 RED GLOW = Price is BELOW the ORB → Bearish bias
The color changes LIVE as price moves. Instant visual feedback!
Why does this matter?
→ 70%+ of the time, price will break and HOLD one side of the ORB
→ The direction of the first breakout often defines the trend for the day
→ Use it as dynamic support/resistance

Relative Strength Heatmap [BackQuant]Relative Strength Heatmap
A multi-horizon RSI matrix that compresses 20 different lookbacks into a single panel, turning raw momentum into a visual “pressure gauge” for overbought and oversold clustering, trend exhaustion, and breadth of participation across time horizons.
What this is
This indicator builds a strip-style heatmap of 20 RSIs, each with a different length, and stacks them vertically as colored tiles in a single pane. Every tile is colored by its RSI value using your chosen palette, so you can see at a glance:
How many “fast” versus “slow” RSIs are overbought or oversold.
Whether momentum is concentrated in the short lookbacks or spread across the whole curve.
When momentum extremes cluster, signalling strong market pressure or exhaustion.
On top of the tiles, the script plots two simple breadth lines:
A white line that counts how many RSIs are above 70 (overbought cluster).
A black line that counts how many RSIs are below 30 (oversold cluster).
This turns a single symbol’s RSI ladder into a compact “market pressure gauge” that shows not only whether RSI is overbought or oversold, but how many different horizons agree at the same time.
Core idea
A single RSI looks at one length and one timescale. Markets, however, are driven by flows that operate on multiple horizons at once. By computing RSI over a ladder of lengths, you approximate a “term structure” of strength:
Short lengths react to immediate swings and very recent impulses.
Medium lengths reflect swing behaviour and local trends.
Long lengths reflect structural bias and higher timeframe regime.
When many lengths agree, for example 10 or more RSIs all above 70, it suggests broad participation and strong directional pressure. When only a few fast lengths stretch to extremes while longer ones stay neutral, the move is more fragile and more likely to mean-revert.
This script makes that structure visible as a heatmap instead of forcing you to run many separate RSI panes.
How it works
1) Generating RSI lengths
You control three parameters in the calculation settings:
RS Period – the base RSI length used for the shortest strip.
RSI Step – the amount added to each successive RSI length.
RSI Multiplier – a global scaling factor applied after the step.
Each of the 20 RSIs uses:
RSI length = round((base_length + step × index) × multiplier) , where the index goes from 0 to 19.
That means:
RSI 1 uses (len + step × 0) × mult.
RSI 2 uses (len + step × 1) × mult.
…
RSI 20 uses (len + step × 19) × mult.
You can keep the ladder dense (small step and multiplier) or stretch it across much longer horizons.
2) Heatmap layout and grouping
Each RSI is plotted as an “area” strip at a fixed vertical level using histbase to stack them:
RSI 1–5 form Group 1.
RSI 6–10 form Group 2.
RSI 11–15 form Group 3.
RSI 16–20 form Group 4.
Each group has a toggle:
Show only Group 1 and 2 if you care mainly about fast and medium horizons.
Show all groups for a full spectrum from very short to very long.
Hide any group that feels redundant for your workflow.
The actual numeric RSI values are not plotted as lines. Instead, each strip is drawn as a horizontal band whose fill color represents the current RSI regime.
3) Palette-based coloring
Each tile’s color is driven by the RSI value and your chosen palette. The script includes several palettes:
Viridis – smooth green to yellow, good for subtle reading.
Jet – strong blue to red sequence with high contrast.
Plasma – purple through orange to yellow.
Custom Heat – cool blues to neutral grey to hot reds.
Gray – grayscale from white to black for minimalistic layouts.
Cividis, Inferno, Magma, Turbo, Rainbow – additional scientific and rainbow-style maps.
Internally, RSI values are bucketed into ranges (for example, below 10, 10–20, …, 90–100). Each bucket maps to a unique colour for that palette. In all schemes, low RSI values are mapped to the “cold” or darker side and high RSI values to the “hot” or brighter side.
The result is a true momentum heatmap:
Cold or dark tiles show low RSI and oversold or compressed conditions.
Mid tones show neutral or mid-range RSI.
Warm or bright tiles show high RSI and overbought or stretched conditions.
4) Bull and bear breadth counts
All 20 RSI values are collected into an array each bar. Two counters are then calculated:
Bull count – how many RSIs are above 70.
Bear count – how many RSIs are below 30.
These are plotted as:
A white line (“RSI > 70 Count”) for the overbought cluster.
A black line (“RSI < 30 Count”) for the oversold cluster.
If you enable the “Show Bull and Bear Count” option, you get an immediate reading of how many of the 20 horizons are stretched at any moment.
5) Cluster alerts and background tagging
Two alert conditions monitor “strong cluster” regimes:
RSI Heatmap Strong Bull – triggers when at least 10 RSIs are above 70.
RSI Heatmap Strong Bear – triggers when at least 10 RSIs are below 30.
When one of these conditions is true, the indicator can tint the background of the chart using a soft version of the current palette. This visually marks stretches where momentum is extreme across many lengths at once, not just on a single RSI.
What it plots
In one oscillator window, the indicator provides:
Up to 20 horizontal RSI strips, each representing a different RSI length.
Color-coded tiles reflecting the current RSI value for each length.
Group toggles to show or hide each block of five RSIs.
An optional white line that counts how many RSIs are above 70.
An optional black line that counts how many RSIs are below 30.
Optional background highlights when the number of overbought or oversold RSIs passes the strong-cluster threshold.
How it measures breadth and pressure
Single-symbol breadth
Breadth is usually defined across a basket of symbols, such as how many stocks advance versus decline. This indicator uses the same concept across time horizons for a single symbol. The question becomes:
“How many different RSI lengths are stretched in the same direction at once?”
Examples:
If only 2 or 3 of the shortest RSIs are above 70, bull count stays low. The move is fast and local, but not yet broadly supported.
If 12 or more RSIs across short, medium and long lengths are above 70, the bull count spikes. The move has broad momentum and strong upside pressure.
If 10 or more RSIs are below 30, bear count spikes and you are in a broad oversold regime.
This is breadth of momentum within one market.
Market pressure gauge
The combination of heatmap tiles and breadth lines acts as a pressure gauge:
High bull count with warm colors across most strips indicates strong upside pressure and crowded long positioning.
High bear count with cold colors across most strips indicates strong downside pressure and capitulation or forced selling.
Low counts with a mixed heatmap indicate neutral pressure, fragmented flows, or range-bound conditions.
You can treat the strong-cluster alerts as “extreme pressure” signals. When they fire, the market is heavily skewed in one direction across many horizons.
How to read the heatmap
Horizontal patterns (through time)
Look along the time axis and watch how the colors evolve:
Persistent hot tiles across many strips show sustained bullish pressure and trend strength.
Persistent cold tiles across many strips show sustained bearish pressure and weak demand.
Frequent flipping between hot and cold colours indicates a choppy or mean-reverting environment.
Vertical structure (across lengths at one bar)
Focus on a single bar and read the column of tiles from top to bottom:
Short RSIs hot, long RSIs neutral or cool: early trend or short-term fomo. Price has moved fast, longer horizons have not caught up.
Short and long RSIs all hot: mature, entrenched uptrend. Broad participation, high pressure, greater risk of blow-off or late-entry vulnerability.
Short RSIs cold but long RSIs mid to high: pullback in a higher timeframe uptrend. Dip-buy and continuation setups are often found here.
Short RSIs high but long RSIs low: countertrend rallies within a broader downtrend. Good hunting ground for fades and short entries after a bounce.
Bull and bear breadth lines
Use the two lines as simple, numeric breadth indicators:
A rising white line shows more RSIs pushing above 70, so bullish pressure is expanding in breadth.
A rising black line shows more RSIs pushing below 30, so bearish pressure is expanding in breadth.
When both lines are low and flat, few horizons are extreme and the market is in mid-range territory.
Cluster zones
When either count crosses the strong threshold (for example 10 out of 20 RSIs in extreme territory):
A strong bull cluster marks a broadly overbought regime. Trend followers may see this as confirmation. Mean-reversion traders may see it as a late-stage or blow-off context.
A strong bear cluster marks a broadly oversold regime. Downtrend traders see strong pressure, but the risk of sharp short-covering bounces also increases.
Trading applications
Trend confirmation
Use the heatmap and breadth lines as a trend filter:
Prefer long setups when the heatmap shows mostly mid to high RSIs and the bull count is rising.
Avoid fresh shorts when there is a strong bull cluster, unless you are specifically trading exhaustion.
Prefer short setups when the heatmap is mostly low RSIs and the bear count is rising.
Avoid aggressive longs when a strong bear cluster is active, unless you are trading reflexive bounces.
Mean-reversion timing
Treat cluster extremes as exhaustion zones:
Look for reversal patterns, failed breakouts, or order flow shifts when bull count is very high and price starts to stall or diverge.
Look for reflexive bounce potential when bear count is very high and price stops making new lows or shows absorption at the lows.
Use the palette and counts together: hot tiles plus a peaking white line can mark blow-off conditions, cold tiles plus a peaking black line can mark capitulation.
Regime detection and risk toggling
Use the overall shape of the ladder over time:
If upper strips stay warm and lower strips stay neutral or warm for extended periods, the market is in an uptrend regime. You can justify higher risk for long-biased strategies.
If upper strips stay cold and lower strips stay neutral or cold, the market is in a downtrend regime. You can justify higher risk for short-biased strategies or defensive positioning.
If colours and counts flip frequently, you are likely in a range or choppy regime. Consider reducing size or using more tactical, short-term strategies.
Multi-horizon synchronization
You can think of each RSI length as a proxy for a different “speed” of the same market:
When only fast RSIs are stretched, the move is local and less robust.
When fast, medium and slow RSIs align, the move has multi-horizon confirmation.
You can require a minimum bull or bear count before allowing your main strategy to engage.
Spotting hidden shifts
Sometimes price appears flat or drifting, but the heatmap quietly cools or warms:
If price is sideways while many hot tiles fade toward neutral, momentum is decaying under the surface and trend risk is increasing.
If price is sideways while many cold tiles climb back toward neutral, selling pressure is decaying and the tape is repairing itself.
Settings overview
Calculation Settings
RS Period – base RSI length for the shortest strip.
RSI Step – the increment added to each successive RSI length.
RSI Multiplier – scales all generated RSI lengths.
Calculation Source – the input series, such as close, hlc3 or others.
Plotting and Coloring Settings
Heatmap Color Palette – choose between Viridis, Jet, Plasma, Custom Heat, Gray, Cividis, Inferno, Magma, Turbo or Rainbow.
Show Group 1 – toggles RSI 1–5.
Show Group 2 – toggles RSI 6–10.
Show Group 3 – toggles RSI 11–15.
Show Group 4 – toggles RSI 16–20.
Show Bull and Bear Count – enables or disables the two breadth lines.
Alerts
RSI Heatmap Strong Bull – fires when the number of RSIs above 70 reaches or exceeds the configured threshold (default 10).
RSI Heatmap Strong Bear – fires when the number of RSIs below 30 reaches or exceeds the configured threshold (default 10).
Tuning guidance
Fast, tactical configurations
Use a small base RS Period, for example 2 to 5.
Use a small RSI Step, for tight clustering around the fast horizon.
Keep the multiplier near 1.0 to avoid extreme long lengths.
Focus on Group 1 and Group 2 for intraday and short-term trading.
Swing and position configurations
Use a mid-range RS Period, for example 7 to 14.
Use a moderate RSI Step to fan out into slower horizons.
Optionally use a multiplier slightly above 1.0.
Keep all four groups enabled for a full view from fast to slow.
Macro or higher timeframe configurations
Use a larger base RS Period.
Use a larger RSI Step so the top of the ladder reaches very slow lengths.
Focus on Group 3 and Group 4 to see structural momentum.
Treat clusters as regime markers rather than frequent trading signals.
Notes
This indicator is a contextual tool, not a standalone trading system. It does not model execution, spreads, slippage or fundamental drivers. Use it to:
Understand whether momentum is narrow or broad across horizons.
Confirm or filter existing signals from your primary strategy.
Identify environments where the market is crowded into one side.
Distinguish between isolated spikes and truly broad pressure moves.
The Relative Strength Heatmap is designed to answer a simple but powerful question:
“How many versions of RSI agree with what I am seeing on the chart?”
By compressing those answers into a single panel with clear colour coding and breadth lines, it becomes a practical, visual gauge of momentum breadth and market pressure that you can overlay on any trading framework.
Minervini VCP Pattern -Indian ContextThis script implements Mark Minervini's Trend Template and VCP (Volatility Contraction Pattern) pattern, specifically adapted for Indian stock markets (NSE). It helps identify stocks that are in strong uptrends and ready to break out.
Core Concepts Explained
1. What is the Minervini Trend Template?
Mark Minervini's method identifies stocks in Stage 2 uptrends - the sweet spot where institutional money is accumulating and stocks show the strongest momentum. Think of it as finding stocks that are "leaders" rather than "laggards."
2. What is VCP (Volatility Contraction Pattern)?
A VCP occurs when:
Stock price consolidates (moves sideways) after an uptrend
Price swings get tighter and tighter (like a coiled spring)
Volume dries up (fewer people trading)
Then it breaks out with force.
You can customize the strategy settings without editing code.
Key Settings:
Minimum Price (₹50): Filters out penny stocks that are too volatile
Min Distance from 52W Low (30%): Stock should be at least 30% above its yearly low
Max Distance from 52W High (25%): Stock should be within 25% of its yearly high (showing strength)
Moving Average Periods: 10, 50, 150, 200 days (industry standard)
Minimum Volume (100,000 shares): Ensures the stock is liquid enough to trade
Indian Market Adaptation: The default values (₹50 minimum, volume thresholds) are adjusted for NSE stocks, which behave differently than US markets.
The script pulls weekly chart data even when you're viewing daily charts.
Why it matters: Weekly trends are more reliable than daily noise. Professional traders use weekly charts to confirm the bigger picture.
What are Moving Averages (MAs)?
Simple averages of closing prices over X days
They smooth out price action to show trends
Think of them as the "average cost" of buyers over different time periods
The 4 Key MAs:
10 MA (Fast): Very short-term trend
50 MA: Short to medium-term trend
150 MA: Medium to long-term trend
200 MA: Long-term trend (the "grandfather" of all MAs)
Why Weekly MAs?
The script also calculates 10 and 50 MAs on weekly data for additional confirmation of the bigger trend.
The script Finds the highest and lowest prices over the past 52 weeks (1 year).
Why it matters:
Stocks near 52-week highs are showing strength (institutions buying)
Stocks far from 52-week lows have "room to run" upward
This is a psychological level that influences trader behaviour.
What is Volume here ?
The number of shares traded each day
High volume = many traders interested (conviction)
Low volume = lack of interest (weakness or consolidation)
Volume in VCP:
During consolidation (sideways movement), volume should dry up - this shows sellers are exhausted and buyers are holding. When volume spikes on a breakout, it confirms the move.
NSE Context: Indian stocks often have different volume patterns than US stocks, so the 50-day average is used as a baseline.
Relative Strength vs Nifty:
Example:
If your stock is up 20% and Nifty is up 10%, your stock has strong RS
If your stock is up 5% and Nifty is up 15%, your stock has weak RS (avoid it!)
Why it matters: The best performing stocks almost always have strong relative strength before major moves.
The 13 Minervini Conditions:-
Condition 1: Price > 50/150/200 MA
Meaning: Current price must be above ALL three major moving averages.
Why: This confirms the stock is in a clear uptrend. If price is below these MAs, the stock is weak or in a downtrend.
Condition 2: MA 50 > 150 > 200
Meaning: The moving averages themselves must be in proper order.
Analogy: Think of this like layers in a cake - short-term on top, long-term at bottom. If they're tangled, the trend is unclear.
Condition 3: 200 MA Rising (1 Month)
Meaning: The 200 MA today must be higher than it was 20 days ago.
Why: This confirms the long-term trend is UP, not flat or down. The means "20 bars ago."
Condition 4: 50 MA Rising
Meaning: The 50 MA today must be higher than 5 days ago.
Why: Confirms short-term momentum is accelerating upward.
Condition 5: Within 25% of 52-Week High
Meaning: Current price should be within 25% of its 1-year high.
Example:
52-week high = ₹1000
Current price must be above ₹750 (within 25%)
Why: Strong stocks stay near their highs. Weak stocks fall far from highs.
Condition 6: 30%+ Above 52-Week Low (OPTIONAL)
Meaning: Stock should be at least 30% above its yearly low.
Note: The script marks this as "SECONDARY - Optional" because the other conditions are more important. However, it's still a good confirmation.
Condition 7: Price > 10 MA
Meaning: Very short-term strength - price above the 10-day moving average.
Why: Ensures the stock hasn't just rolled over in the immediate term.
Condition 8: Price >= ₹50
Meaning: Filters out stocks below ₹50.
Why: In Indian markets, stocks below ₹50 tend to be penny stocks with poor liquidity and higher manipulation risk.
Condition 9: Weekly Uptrend
Meaning: On the weekly chart, price must be above both weekly MAs, and they must be properly aligned.
Why: Confirms the bigger picture trend, not just daily fluctuations.
Condition 10: 150 MA Rising
Meaning: The 150 MA is trending upward over the past 10 days.
Why: Another confirmation of medium-term trend health.
Condition 11: Sufficient Volume
Meaning: Average volume must exceed 100,000 shares (or your custom setting).
Why: Ensures you can actually buy/sell the stock without moving the price too much (liquidity).
Condition 12: RS vs Nifty Strong
Meaning: The stock's relative strength vs Nifty must be improving.
Why: You want stocks that are outperforming the market, not underperforming.
Condition 13: Nifty in Uptrend
Meaning: The Nifty 50 index itself must be above its 50 MA.
Why: "A rising tide lifts all boats." It's easier to make money in individual stocks when the overall market is bullish.
VCP Requirements:
Volatility Contracting: Price swings getting tighter (coiling spring)
Volume Drying Up: Fewer shares trading + trending lower
The Setup: When volatility contracts and volume dries up WHILE all 13 trend conditions are met, you have a VCP setup ready to explode.
What You See on Chart:
Colored Lines: 10 MA (green), 50 MA (blue), 150 MA (orange), 200 MA (red)
Blue Background: Trend template conditions met (watch zone)
Green Background: Full VCP setup detected (buy zone)
↟ Symbol Below Price: New VCP buy signal just triggered
Information Table:
What it does: Creates a checklist table on your chart showing the status of all conditions.
Table Structure:
Column 1: Condition name
Column 2: Status (✓ green = met, ✗ red = not met)
Final Row: Shows "BUY" (green) or "WAIT" (red) based on full VCP setup status.
Dos:
Example:
Account size: ₹5,00,000
Risk per trade: 1% = ₹5,000
Entry: ₹1000
Stop loss: ₹920 (8% below)
Distance to stop: ₹80
Shares to buy: ₹5,000 / ₹80 = 62 shares
Exit Strategy:
Sell 1/3 at +20% profit
Sell another 1/3 at +40% profit
Let the final 1/3 run with a trailing stop
Always exit if price closes below 10 MA on heavy volume
What This Script Does NOT Do:
Guarantee profits - No strategy works 100% of the time
Account for news events - Earnings, regulatory changes, etc.
Consider fundamentals - Company financials, debt, management quality
Adapt to market crashes - Works best in bull markets
Best Market Conditions:
✅ Nifty in uptrend (above 50 MA)
✅ Market breadth positive (more stocks advancing)
✅ Sector rotation happening
❌ Avoid in bear markets or high volatility periods

A clear trend must precede the pattern
High symmetry between the two bottoms or two tops
No break of critical price levels during formation
Logical spacing between key points
Technical confirmation from ADX, ATR, and Volume
2️⃣ Advanced Quality Scoring System
Each pattern is scored out of 100 based on 5 weighted criteria:
Symmetry (30%): How closely the two bottoms or tops match
Trend Strength (20%): Strength of the prior trend
Volume Behavior (20%): Trading activity at critical points
Pattern Depth (15%): Vertical distance between neckline and bottom/top
Structural Integrity (15%): Full compliance with structural rules

Failed Double Bottom → triggers a bearish signal with downside targets
Failed Double Top → triggers a bullish signal with upside targets
Automatic color change for clear visual distinction
5️⃣ Full Customization Flexibility
Enable/disable each pattern independently
22+ adjustable settings
Unique colors for each pattern and quality level
Full bilingual support (Arabic / English)
📐 Pattern Details
🟦 Double Bottom Pattern
Sequence of points:
🔹 Point 1: Peak marking the start of a strong downtrend
🔹 Point 2 (Bottom 1): First low — first key bounce
🔹 Point 3: Intermediate high — forms the neckline (resistance)
🔹 Point 4 (Bottom 2): Second low — should closely match Bottom 1
🔹 Point 5: Breakout point — pattern confirmation
Mandatory Conditions:
✅ Clear downtrend before Point 2
✅ Bottoms 2 & 4 nearly identical (≤1.5% difference by default)
✅ Point 3 higher than both bottoms
✅ Neither bottom is broken during formation
✅ Sufficient time between points (≥10 candles by default)
✅ Success Scenario
→ Price breaks above the neckline (Point 3)
→ Point 5 is plotted at breakout candle
→ Dashed vertical line drawn from Point 5 to target
→ Horizontal dashed line tracks price toward target
→ Dashboard shows: Pattern Type | Quality | Rating | Target | Status
→ When target hits: line turns green + ✅ appears
🎯 Target Calculation
Pattern Height = Point 3 − Point 4
• Conservative: Point 3 + (Height × 0.618 × Quality Factor)
• Balanced: Point 3 + (Height × 1.0 × Quality Factor)
• Aggressive: Point 3 + (Height × 1.618 × Quality Factor)
❌ Failure Scenario
→ Price breaks below both Bottom 1 or Bottom 2 before neckline breakout
Visual Changes:
All lines turn red
Red ✖ appears at breakdown candle
Neckline stops expanding
Red dashed vertical line from breakdown point to bearish target
Red horizontal tracking line follows price
Dashboard updates to:
⚠ Failed Bottom – Bearish
→ Shows new bearish target
→ Indicates target mode for failure case
→ Status: Bearish Reversal
→ Fully red display
🟥 Double Top Pattern
Sequence of points:
🔹 Point 1: Trough marking the start of a strong uptrend
🔹 Point 2 (Top 1): First peak — first key resistance
🔹 Point 3: Intermediate low — forms the neckline (support)
🔹 Point 4 (Top 2): Second peak — should closely match Top 1
🔹 Point 5: Breakdown point — pattern confirmation
Mandatory Conditions:

→ Green line + ✅ on hit
🎯 Target Calculation
Pattern Height = Point 4 − Point 3
• Conservative: Point 3 − (Height × 0.618 × Quality Factor)
• Balanced: Point 3 − (Height × 1.0 × Quality Factor)
• Aggressive: Point 3 − (Height × 1.618 × Quality Factor)
❌ Failure Scenario
→ Price breaks above either Top 1 or Top 2 before neckline breakdown
Visual Changes:
All lines turn cyan (light blue)
Cyan ✖ appears at breakout candle
Neckline stops expanding
Cyan dashed vertical line to bullish target
Cyan horizontal tracking line follows price
Dashboard updates to:
⚠ Failed Top – Bullish
→ Shows new bullish target
→ Indicates target mode for failure case
→ Status: Bullish Reversal
→ Fully cyan display
🎯 Upside Target (after Double Top failure)
Max Top = max(Point 2, Point 4)
Height = Max Top − Point 3
• Conservative: Max Top + (Height × 0.618)
• Balanced: Max Top + (Height × 1.0)
• Aggressive: Max Top + (Height × 1.618)
📊 Quality Scoring System (0–100)
1️⃣ Symmetry (30%)
Measures price match between the two bottoms or two tops.
High score (25–30): Near-perfect symmetry → very strong pattern
Medium (15–24): Good match → reliable signal
Low (5–14): Weak symmetry → use caution
Zero: No symmetry → invalid pattern
2️⃣ Trend Strength (20%)
Uses ADX and DI indicators.
20 pts: Strong trend confirmed (e.g., ADX ≥ 20 + correct DI alignment)
10 pts: Trend filter disabled
6 pts: Weak or sideways trend
3️⃣ Volume Behavior (20%)
Declining volume on second touch is a positive sign (shows exhaustion).
15–20 pts: Clear volume drop → strong signal
10 pts: Neutral volume
6 pts: Rising volume → higher risk of continuation
4️⃣ Pattern Depth (15%)
Deeper patterns = stronger reversals.
12–15 pts: Deep → high reversal power
8–11 pts: Medium → acceptable
<8 pts: Shallow → weak signal
5️⃣ Structural Integrity (15%)
Checks logical structure (e.g., Point 1 > Point 3 in Double Bottom).
12–15 pts: Ideal structure
8–11 pts: Minor flaws
<8 pts: Poor setup
📈 Final Quality Rating & Colors
• 85–100 → ⭐ Excellent
→ Double Bottom: Cyan #00BCD4
→ Double Top: Light Red #FF5252
• 75–84 → ✨ Very Good
• 65–74 → ✓ Good
• 60–64 → ○ Acceptable
→ All use Amber #FFC107
• <60 → ❌ Rejected (not shown)
→ Gray #9E9E9E
🔧 Dynamic Filters
1️⃣ ATR Filter (Volatility Check)
Rejects patterns in abnormally high volatility periods.
→ If current ATR > 1.8 × 50-period ATR MA → pattern rejected
✅ Recommended for crypto, small caps
❌ Optional for calm markets (gold, bonds)
2️⃣ ADX Filter (Trend Confirmation)
Ensures a real trend exists before the pattern.
→ If ADX < 14 (70% of default 20) → pattern rejected
✅ Strongly recommended (keep ON)
3️⃣ Volume Filter (Behavior Validation)
Not used to reject patterns, but strongly affects quality score.
✅ Best for liquid markets (Forex majors, large stocks)
❌ Optional for illiquid assets

Market Energy & Direction DashboardMarket Energy & Direction Dashboard - Daytrading
Overview
A comprehensive real-time market internals dashboard that combines NYSE TICK, NYSE Advance-Decline (ADD) momentum, VIX direction, and relative volume into a single visual traffic light system with intelligent signal synthesis. Designed for active daytraders who need instant confirmation of market direction and energy based on momentum alignment across all major internals.
What It Does
This indicator synthesizes multiple market internals using directional momentum analysis rather than static thresholds to provide clear, actionable signals:
• Traffic Light System: Single glance confirmation of market state
o Bright Green: Maximum bullish - all internals aligned (TICK + ADD rising + VIX falling + volume)
o Bright Red: Maximum bearish - all internals aligned (TICK + ADD falling + VIX rising + volume)
o Yellow: Exhaustion warning - TICK at extremes, potential reversal imminent
o Moderate Colors: Partial alignment - some confirmation but not complete
o Gray: Choppy, neutral, or conflicting signals
• Real-Time Dashboard displays:
o Current TICK value with exhaustion warnings
o Current ADD with directional momentum indicator (↑ rising = breadth improving, ↓ falling = breadth deteriorating, ± compression)
o VIX level with directional indicator (↓ declining = bullish, ↑ rising = bearish, ± compression = neutral)
o Relative volume (current vs 20-period average)
o Composite status message synthesizing all data into clear directional summary
Key Features
✓ Momentum-based analysis - all indicators show direction/change, not just levels ✓ Intelligent signal hierarchy from "Maximum" to "Moderate" based on internal alignment ✓ ADD directional momentum - catches breadth shifts early, works in all market conditions ✓ VIX directional analysis - shows if fear is increasing, decreasing, or stagnant ✓ Color-coded traffic light for instant decision making ✓ Detects TICK/ADD divergences (conflicting signals = caution) ✓ Exhaustion warnings at extreme TICK levels (±1000+) ✓ Composite status messages - "Maximum Bull", "Strong Bull", "Moderate Bull", etc. ✓ Customizable thresholds for all parameters ✓ Moveable dashboard (9 position options) ✓ Built-in alerts for all signal strengths, exhaustion, and divergences
How To Use
Setup:
1. Add indicator to your main trading chart (SPY, ES, NQ, etc.)
2. Default settings work well for most traders, but you can customize:
o TICK Extreme Level (default 1000)
o ADD Compression Threshold (default 100 - detects when breadth is stagnant)
o VIX Elevated Level (default 20)
o VIX Compression Threshold (default 2% - detects low volatility)
o Volume Threshold (default 1.5x average)
3. Position dashboard wherever convenient on your chart
Reading The Signals:
Signal Hierarchy (Strongest to Weakest):
MAXIMUM SIGNALS ⭐ (Brightest colors - All 4 internals aligned)
• "✓ MAXIMUM BULL": TICK bullish + ADD rising (↑) + VIX falling (↓) + Volume elevated
o This is the holy grail setup - all momentum aligned, highest conviction longs
• "✓ MAXIMUM BEAR": TICK bearish + ADD falling (↓) + VIX rising (↑) + Volume elevated
o Perfect storm bearish - all momentum aligned, highest conviction shorts
STRONG SIGNALS (Bright colors - Core internals aligned)
• "✓ STRONG BULL": TICK bullish + ADD rising (↑)
o Strong confirmation even without VIX/volume - breadth supporting the move
• "✓ STRONG BEAR": TICK bearish + ADD falling (↓)
o Strong confirmation - both momentum and breadth deteriorating
MODERATE SIGNALS (Faded colors - Partial confirmation)
• "MODERATE BULL": TICK bullish but ADD not confirming direction
o Proceed with caution - momentum present but breadth questionable
• "MODERATE BEAR": TICK bearish but ADD not confirming direction
o Proceed with caution - selling but breadth not fully participating
WARNING SIGNALS
• "⚠ EXHAUSTION" (Yellow): TICK at ±1000+ extremes
o Potential reversal zone - prepare to fade or take profits
o Often marks blow-off tops or capitulation bottoms
NEUTRAL/AVOID
• "CHOPPY/NEUTRAL" (Gray): Conflicting signals or low conviction
o Stay out or reduce size significantly
Individual Indicator Interpretation:
TICK:
• Green: Bullish momentum (>+300)
• Red: Bearish momentum (<-300)
• Yellow: Exhaustion (±1000+)
• Gray: Neutral
ADD (Advance-Decline):
• Green (↑): Breadth improving - more stocks participating in the move
• Red (↓): Breadth deteriorating - fewer stocks participating
• Gray (±): Breadth stagnant - no clear participation trend
VIX:
• Green (↓): Fear declining - healthy environment for rallies
• Red (↑): Fear rising - risk-off mode, supports downward moves
• Gray (±): Volatility compression - often precedes explosive moves
Volume:
• Green: High conviction (>1.5x average)
• Gray: Low conviction
Trading Strategy:
1. Wait for "MAXIMUM" or "STRONG" signals for highest probability entries
o Maximum signals = go full size with confidence
o Strong signals = good conviction, normal position sizing
2. Confirm directional alignment:
o For longs: Want ADD ↑ (rising) and VIX ↓ (falling)
o For shorts: Want ADD ↓ (falling) and VIX ↑ (rising)
3. Use exhaustion warnings (yellow) to:
o Take profits on existing positions
o Prepare counter-trend entries
o Tighten stops
4. Avoid "MODERATE" signals unless you have strong conviction from other analysis
o These work best as confirmation for existing setups
o Not strong enough to initiate new positions alone
5. Never trade "CHOPPY/NEUTRAL" signals
o Gray means stay out - preserve capital
o Wait for clear alignment
6. Watch for divergences:
o Price making new highs but ADD ↓ (falling) = distribution warning
o Price making new lows but ADD ↑ (rising) = potential bottom
o Divergence alert will notify you
Best Practices:
• Use on 1-5 minute charts for daytrading
• Combine with your price action or technical setup (support/resistance, trendlines, patterns)
• The dashboard confirms when to take your setup, not what setup to take
• Most effective during regular market hours (9:30 AM - 4:00 PM ET) when volume is present
• The strongest edge comes from "MAXIMUM" signals - wait for these for best risk/reward
• Pay special attention to ADD direction - it's the most predictive breadth indicator
• VIX compression (gray ±) often signals upcoming volatility expansion - prepare for bigger moves
Customization Option
All thresholds are adjustable in settings:
• TICK Extreme: Higher = fewer exhaustion warnings (try 1200-1500 for less sensitivity)
• ADD Compression Threshold: Change detection sensitivity
o Default 100 = balanced
o Lower (50) = more sensitive to small breadth changes
o Higher (200-300) = only shows major breadth shifts
• VIX Elevated: Adjust for current volatility regime (15-25 typical range)
• VIX Compression Threshold:
o Default 2% = balanced
o Lower (0.5-1%) = catches subtle VIX changes
o Higher (3-5%) = only shows significant VIX moves
• Volume Threshold: Lower for quieter stocks/times, higher for more confirmation
Alerts Available
• Maximum Bullish: All 4 internals aligned bullish (TICK + ADD↑ + VIX↓ + Volume)
• Maximum Bearish: All 4 internals aligned bearish (TICK + ADD↓ + VIX↑ + Volume)
• Strong Bullish: TICK bullish + ADD rising
• Strong Bearish: TICK bearish + ADD falling
• Exhaustion Warning: TICK at extreme levels
• Divergence Warning: TICK and ADD directions conflicting
Understanding the Signal Synthesis
The indicator uses intelligent logic to combine all internals:
"MAXIMUM" Signals require:
• TICK direction (bullish/bearish)
• ADD momentum (rising/falling) in same direction
• VIX direction (falling for bulls, rising for bears)
• Volume elevated (>1.5x average)
"STRONG" Signals require:
• TICK direction (bullish/bearish)
• ADD momentum (rising/falling) in same direction
• (VIX and volume are bonuses but not required)
"MODERATE" Signals:
• TICK showing direction
• But ADD not confirming or contradicting
• Weakest actionable signal
This hierarchy ensures you know exactly how much conviction the market has behind any move.
Technical Details
• Pulls real-time data from NYSE TICK (USI:TICK), NYSE ADD (USI:ADD), and CBOE VIX
• ADD direction calculated using bar-to-bar change with compression detection
• VIX direction calculated using bar-to-bar percentage change
• Volume calculation uses 20-period simple moving average
• Dashboard updates every bar
• No repainting - all calculations based on closed bar data
Who This Is For
• Active daytraders of stocks, futures (ES/NQ), and options
• Scalpers needing quick directional confirmation with multiple internal alignment
• Swing traders looking to time intraday entries with maximum confluence
• Volatility traders who monitor VIX behavior
• Market makers and professionals who trade based on breadth and internals
• Anyone who monitors market internals but wants intelligent synthesis vs raw data
Tips For Success
Trading Philosophy:
• Quality over quantity - wait for "MAXIMUM" signals for best results
• One "MAXIMUM" signal trade is worth five "MODERATE" signal trades
• Gray/neutral is not a sign of missing opportunity - it's protecting your capital
Signal Confidence Levels:
1. MAXIMUM (95%+ confidence) - Trade these aggressively with full size
2. STRONG (80-85% confidence) - Trade these with normal position sizing
3. MODERATE (60-70% confidence) - Only if confirmed by strong technical setup
4. CHOPPY/NEUTRAL - Do not trade, wait for clarity
Advanced Techniques:
• Breadth divergences: Watch for price making new highs while ADD shows ↓ (falling) = major warning
• VIX/Price divergences: Rallies with rising VIX (↑) are usually false moves
• Volume confirmation: "MAXIMUM" signals with 2x+ volume are the absolute best
• Compression zones: When both ADD and VIX show compression (±), expect explosive breakout soon
• Sequential signals: Back-to-back "MAXIMUM" signals in same direction = strong trending day
Common Patterns:
• Opening surge with "MAXIMUM BULL" that shifts to "EXHAUSTION" (yellow) = fade the high
• Selloff with "MAXIMUM BEAR" followed by ADD ↑ (rising) divergence = potential reversal
• Choppy morning followed by "MAXIMUM" signal afternoon = best trending opportunity
Example Scenarios
Perfect Bull Entry:
• Bright green signal box
• TICK: +650
• ADD: +1200 (↑)
• VIX: 18.30 (↓)
• Volume: 2.3x
• Status: "✓ MAXIMUM BULL" → ALL SYSTEMS GO - Take aggressive long positions

• TICK: +500
• ADD: +800 (↑)
• VIX: 19.50 (±)
• Volume: 1.2x
• Status: "✓ STRONG BULL" → Good long setup - breadth confirming even without VIX/volume
Caution Bull (Moderate):
• Faded green signal box
• TICK: +400
• ADD: +900 (↓)
• VIX: 20.10 (↑)
• Volume: 0.9x
• Status: "MODERATE BULL" → CAUTION - TICK bullish but breadth deteriorating and VIX rising = weak rally
Exhaustion Warning:
• Yellow signal box
• TICK: +1350 ⚠
• ADD: +2100 (↑)
• VIX: 17.20 (↓)
• Volume: 1.8x
• Status: "⚠ EXHAUSTION" → Take profits or prepare to fade - TICK overextended despite good internals
Divergence Setup (Potential Reversal):
• Faded green signal
• TICK: +300
• ADD: +1800 (↓)
• VIX: 21.50 (↑)
• Volume: 1.6x
• Status: "MODERATE BULL" → WARNING - Price rallying but breadth collapsing and fear rising = distribution

• TICK: -780
• ADD: -1600 (↓)
• VIX: 24.80 (↑)
• Volume: 2.5x
• Status: "✓ MAXIMUM BEAR" → Perfect short setup - all momentum bearish with conviction
Compression (Wait Mode):
• Gray signal box
• TICK: +50
• ADD: -200 (±)
• VIX: 16.40 (±)
• Volume: 0.7x
• Status: "CHOPPY/NEUTRAL" → STAY OUT - Volatility compression, no conviction, await breakout
Performance Optimization
Best Market Conditions:
• Works excellent in trending markets (up or down)
• Particularly powerful during high-volume sessions (first/last hours)
• "MAXIMUM" signals most reliable during 9:45-11:00 AM and 2:00-3:30 PM ET
Less Effective During:
• Lunch period (11:30 AM - 1:30 PM) - lower volume reduces signal quality
• Low-volatility environments - compression signals dominate
• Major news events in first 5 minutes - wait for internals to stabilize
Recommended Use Cases:
• Scalping: Trade only "MAXIMUM" signals for quick 5-15 minute moves
• Daytrading: Use "MAXIMUM" and "STRONG" signals for position entries
• Swing entries: Use "MAXIMUM" signals for optimal intraday entry timing
• Exit timing: Use "EXHAUSTION" (yellow) warnings to take profits
________________________________________
Pro Tip: Create a dedicated workspace with this indicator on SPY/ES/NQ charts. Set alerts for "MAXIMUM BULL", "MAXIMUM BEAR", and "EXHAUSTION" signals. Most professional traders only trade the "MAXIMUM" setups and ignore everything else - this alone can dramatically improve win rates.
Decision zone This indicator helps me determine market direction.
It's simple to use: if the middle line of the square is below the price, we're looking for buys; otherwise, we're looking for sells.

Altseason IndexDescription of the "Altseason Index" Indicator
The Altseason Index is a powerful and visually minimalist tool designed to objectively identify the onset and conclusion of an "altseason" in the cryptocurrency market. Moving beyond subjective speculation, this indicator employs a clear, mathematical methodology by comparing the performance of a broad basket of altcoins against Bitcoin.
🎯 Core Concept and Utility
An "Altseason" is a market period where altcoins (cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin) consistently yield higher returns than BTC. This indicator empowers traders and investors to:
Objectively Identify Market Cycles: Precisely pinpoint when capital is actively rotating from Bitcoin into altcoins and vice versa.
Make Data-Driven Decisions: Adjust their strategy in a timely manner: increasing exposure to altcoins during an altseason or rotating back into BTC upon its conclusion.
Avoid Emotional Pitfalls: Steer clear of FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) and base decisions on hard data rather than market noise.
⚙️ How the Calculation Works
1. Asset Selection: The indicator tracks the performance of 15 leading altcoins across various market segments (Layer 1s, DeFi, Meme, Payments), ensuring a representative sample.
2. Performance Comparison: For each altcoin, the percentage price change over the user-defined lookback period (default: 90 days) is calculated. This performance is then compared to BTC's performance over the same period.
3. Counting the "Outperformers": The index counts the number of altcoins that have "outperformed" BTC.
4. Calculating the Index: The Altseason Index value is the percentage of altcoins in the basket that are outperforming BTC. For example, a value of 60% means that 9 out of the 15 coins performed better than Bitcoin.
🛠️ Indicator Settings
The settings are kept simple and intuitive, allowing you to customize the indicator to your strategy:
Lookback Period (days) (Default: 90):
- Defines the time horizon for the performance calculation.
- Shorter Periods (30-60 days) react faster to new trends but may produce more false signals.
- Longer Periods (90-180 days) provide smoother and more reliable signals, capturing sustained macro-trends.
Altseason Threshold (%) (Default: 75%):
- This is the key parameter that defines what index value constitutes an official "altseason."
- A threshold of 75% means an altseason is declared when at least 11 out of the 15 altcoins (75%) are outperforming BTC.
- You can increase the threshold (e.g., to 85%) for more conservative and stronger signals, or decrease it (e.g., to 65%) for earlier entries.
📊 Interpreting the Readings and Signals
The indicator uses a clear color-coding system and levels for easy interpretation:
🔴 < 30%: "BTC SEASON"
Bitcoin is dominating. The market is in risk-off mode or a state of anticipation. Growth is concentrated in BTC.
⚪ 30% - 49%: "NEUTRAL"
A transitional phase. The market is uncertain. Some alts show strength, but there is no unified trend.
🔵 50% - 74%: "BULLISH"
Growing strength in altcoins. Capital is beginning to rotate actively. This can be an early stage of an altseason.
🟢 ≥ 75% (or your custom threshold): "ALTSEASON"
The active altseason phase. The vast majority of altcoins are rising faster than BTC. This is the period of maximum potential returns for alts.
Signal Markers:
Green Dot: Signals the potential start of an altseason (the index crosses above the threshold).
Red Dot: Signals the potential end of an altseason (the index crosses below the threshold).
ℹ️ Information Panel
The chart displays two clean information panels:
1. Main Info Label:
Current index value (e.g., ⟠ 80%).
Market status (ALTSEASON, BULLISH, etc.).
The ratio of outperforming altcoins (11/15 alts).
2. Dominance & Market Cap Panel:
Alts: Altcoin Dominance (the market cap share of all coins except BTC).
BTC: Bitcoin Dominance.
Market: Total cryptocurrency market capitalization in billions of USD. This helps assess the overall market context (bullish/bearish).
💎 Conclusion
The Altseason Index is your strategic companion for navigating the crypto markets. It transforms the complex task of identifying market cycles into a simple and visual process. Use it to confirm broad market trends, identify potential entry and exit points, and, most importantly, to maintain discipline in your trading strategy by filtering out noise and emotion.
