Order Blocks + Order-Flow ProxiesOrder Blocks + Order-Flow Proxies
This indicator combines structural analysis of order blocks with lightweight order-flow style proxies, providing a tool for chart annotation and contextual study. It is designed to help users visualize where significant structural shifts occur and how simple volume-based signals behave around those areas. The script does not guarantee profitable outcomes, nor does it issue financial advice. It is intended purely for research, learning, and discretionary use.
Conceptual Background
Order Blocks
An “order block” is a term often used to describe a zone on the chart where price left behind a significant reversal or imbalance before continuing strongly in the opposite direction. In practice, this can mean the last bullish or bearish candle before a strong breakout. Traders sometimes study these regions because they believe that unfilled resting orders may exist there, or simply because they mark important pivots in price structure. This indicator detects such moments by scanning for breaks of structure (BOS). When price pushes above or below recent swing levels with sufficient displacement, the script identifies the prior opposite candle as the potential order block.
Break of Structure
A break of structure in this context is defined when the closing price moves beyond the highest high or lowest low of a short lookback window. The script compares the magnitude of this break to an ATR-based displacement filter. This helps ensure that only meaningful moves are marked rather than small, random fluctuations.
Order-Flow Proxies
Traditional order flow analysis may use bid/ask data, footprint charts, or volume profiles. Because TradingView scripts cannot access true order-book data, this indicator instead uses proxy signals derived from standard chart data:
Delta (proxy): Estimated imbalance of buying vs. selling pressure, approximated using bar direction and volume.
Imbalance ratio: Normalizes delta by total volume, ranging between -1 and +1 in theory.
Cumulative Delta (CVD): Running sum of delta over time.
Effort vs. Result (EvR): A comparison between volume and actual bar movement, highlighting cases where large effort produced little result (or vice versa).
These are not real order-flow measurements, but rather simple mathematical constructs that mimic some of its logic.
How the Script Works
Detecting Break of Structure
The user specifies a swing length. When price closes above the recent high (for bullish BOS) or below the recent low (for bearish BOS), a potential shift is recorded.
To qualify, the breakout must exceed a displacement filter proportional to the ATR. This helps filter out weak moves.
Locating the Order Block Candle
Once a BOS is confirmed, the script looks back within a short window to find the last opposite-colored candle.
The high/low or open/close of that candle (depending on user settings) is marked as the potential order block zone.
Drawing and Maintaining Zones
Each order block is represented as a colored rectangle extending forward in time.
Bullish zones are teal by default, bearish zones are red.
Zones extend until invalidated (price closing or wicking beyond them, depending on user preference) or until a user-defined lifespan expires.
A pruning mechanism ensures that only the most recent set number of zones remain, preventing chart overload.
Monitoring Touches
The script checks whether the current bar’s range overlaps any existing order block.
If so, the “closest” zone is considered touched, and a label may appear on the chart.
Confirmation Filters
Touches can optionally be confirmed by order-flow proxies.
For a bullish confirmation, the following must align:
Imbalance ratio above threshold,
Delta EMA positive,
Effort vs. Result positive.
For a bearish confirmation, the opposite holds true.
Optionally, a higher-timeframe EMA slope filter can gate these confirmations. For example, a bullish confirmation may only be accepted if the higher-timeframe EMA is sloping upward.
Alerts
Users may create alerts based on conditions such as “bullish touch confirmed” or “bearish touch confirmed.”
Alerts can be gated to only fire after bar close, reducing intrabar noise.
Standard alertcondition calls are provided, and optional inline alert() calls can be enabled.
Inputs and Customization
Structure & OB
Swing length: Defines how many bars back to check for BOS.
ATR length & displacement factor: Adjust sensitivity for structural breaks.
Body vs. wick reference: Choose whether zones are based on candle bodies or full ranges.
Invalidation rule: Pick between wick breach or close beyond the level.
Lifespan (bars): Limit how long a zone remains active.
Max keep: Cap the number of zones stored to reduce clutter.
Order-Flow Proxies
Delta mode: Choose between “Close vs Previous Close” or “Body” for delta calculation.
EMA length: Smooths the delta/imbalance series.
Z-score lookback: Defines the averaging window for EvR.
Confirmation thresholds: Adjust the imbalance levels required for long/short confirmation.
Higher Timeframe Filter
Enable HTF gate: Optional filter requiring higher-timeframe EMA slope alignment.
HTF timeframe & EMA length: Configurable for context alignment.
Style
Colors and transparency for bullish and bearish zones.
Border color customization.
Alerts
Enable inline alerts: Optional direct calls to alert().
Alerts on bar close only: Helps avoid multiple firings during bar formation.
Practical Use
This tool is best seen as a way to annotate charts and to study how simple volume-derived signals behave near important structural levels. Some users may:
Observe whether order blocks line up with later price reactions.
Study how imbalance or cumulative delta conditions align with these zones.
Use it in a discretionary workflow to highlight areas of interest for deeper analysis.
Because the proxies are based only on candle OHLCV data, they are approximations. They cannot replace true depth-of-market analysis. Similarly, order block detection here is one specific algorithmic interpretation; other traders may define order blocks differently.
Limitations and Disclaimers
This indicator does not predict future price movement.
It does not access real order book or tick-by-tick data. All signals are derived from bar OHLCV.
Past performance of signals or zones does not guarantee future results.
The script is for educational and informational purposes only. It is not financial advice.
Users should test thoroughly, adjust parameters to their own instruments and timeframes, and use it in combination with broader analysis.
Summary
The Order Blocks + Order-Flow Proxies script is an experimental study tool that:
Detects potential order blocks using a displacement-filtered break of structure.
Marks these zones as boxes that persist until invalidation or expiry.
Provides lightweight order-flow-style proxies such as delta, imbalance, CVD, and effort vs. result.
Allows confirmation of zone touches through these proxies and optional higher-timeframe context.
Offers flexible customization, alerting, and chart-style options.
It is not a trading system by itself but rather a framework for studying price/volume behavior around structurally significant areas. With careful exploration, it can give users new ways to visualize market structure and to understand how simple flow-like measures behave in those contexts.
Sentiment
Nasdaq Sentiment DashboardBuilds a composite sentiment state — RISK-ON / NEUTRAL / RISK-OFF — using three legs:
Volatility: CBOE VXN vs its moving average and absolute thresholds (risk-on when low & below MA; risk-off when high & above MA).
Breadth (quality of participation): QQEW/QQQ ratio vs its MA (equal-weight beating cap-weight = healthier breadth).
Advance/Decline (intraday breadth): advdec.nq vs its MA, with a magnitude filter (ignores tiny A/D days).
How it works
Pulls each series on your chosen signal timeframe (default Daily).
Creates binary signals per leg:
Vol: volOn if VXN < MA and < vxnLower; volOff if VXN > MA and > vxnUpper.
Breadth: brOn if QQEW/QQQ is above its MA by a deadband; brOff if below.
A/D: adOn if A/D > MA and above adMin; adOff if below MA and < -adMin.
Scores each leg (+1 on, −1 off, 0 neutral) → sums to −3…+3.
State rule (default): RISK-ON if score ≥ +2, RISK-OFF if ≤ −2, else NEUTRAL (i.e., need 2 of 3 to agree).
Detects flips (changes in state) and provides alert conditions that fire only on the flip bar.
What you see
Lines for VXN & MA, QQEW/QQQ & MA, A/D & MA.
Background color shows current composite state.
Triangle markers on the flip bar (up for ON, down for OFF).
A top-right table summarizing state, each leg vs its MA, and the composite score.
How to tune
Vol thresholds: vxnLower / vxnUpper.
Breadth whipsaw control: deadbandBps around the ratio’s MA.
A/D sensitivity: adMin and adMaLen.
Stricter regime: require all 3 to agree by changing the state line to score == 3 / -3.

Whale VWAP HeatmapWhat it does
This indicator paints a heatmap around an anchored VWAP to make market context obvious at a glance.
Above VWAP → cyan background
Below VWAP → amber background
The farther price is from VWAP (in %), the stronger the color intensity.
How it works
Uses an anchored VWAP that resets on the period you choose (Session / Week / Month / Quarter / Year / Decade / Century / Earnings / Dividends / Splits).
Computes the percentage distance between price and VWAP, then maps that distance to background opacity.
Optional VWAP line can be shown/hidden.
Inputs (Settings)
Anchor Period — choose when VWAP resets (Session→Year, plus E/D/S options).
Source — price source (default hlc3).
Hide on D/W/M (Session only) — hides the script on Daily/Weekly/Monthly when anchor=Session (avoids NA behavior).
Enable Heatmap — turn background coloring on/off.
Max distance for full color (%) — at/above this % from VWAP, color hits full intensity (typical 0.5–2% depending on volatility).
Show VWAP Line / Line Color/Width — visual preference.
How to read it (quick playbook)
Context first: color tells you if price is trading above/below “fair value” (VWAP).
Intensity = how stretched price is from VWAP.
Use it to frame bias (above/below VWAP) and to avoid chasing extended moves.
Notes & limitations
Requires volume (VWAP is volume-weighted). If the data vendor doesn’t provide volume for the symbol, the script will stop.
For intraday, Session anchor is common. For swing/context, try Week or Month.

Correlation Heatmap Matrix [TradingFinder] 20 Assets Variable🔵 Introduction
Correlation is one of the most important statistical and analytical metrics in financial markets, data mining, and data science. It measures the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables.
The correlation coefficient always ranges between +1 and -1 : a perfect positive correlation (+1) means that two assets or currency pairs move together in the same direction and at a constant ratio, a correlation of zero (0) indicates no clear linear relationship, and a perfect negative correlation (-1) means they move in exactly opposite directions.
While the Pearson Correlation Coefficient is the most common method for calculation, other statistical methods like Spearman and Kendall are also used depending on the context.
In financial market analysis, correlation is a key tool for Forex, the Stock Market, and the Cryptocurrency Market because it allows traders to assess the price relationship between currency pairs, stocks, or coins. For example, in Forex, EUR/USD and GBP/USD often have a high positive correlation; in stocks, companies from the same sector such as Apple and Microsoft tend to move similarly; and in crypto, most altcoins show a strong positive correlation with Bitcoin.
Using a Correlation Heatmap in these markets visually displays the strength and direction of these relationships, helping traders make more accurate decisions for risk management and strategy optimization.
🟣 Correlation in Financial Markets
In finance, correlation refers to measuring how closely two assets move together over time. These assets can be stocks, currency pairs, commodities, indices, or cryptocurrencies. The main goal of correlation analysis in trading is to understand these movement patterns and use them for risk management, trend forecasting, and developing trading strategies.
🟣 Correlation Heatmap
A correlation heatmap is a visual tool that presents the correlation between multiple assets in a color-coded table. Each cell shows the correlation coefficient between two assets, with colors indicating its strength and direction. Warm colors (such as red or orange) represent strong negative correlation, cool colors (such as blue or cyan) represent strong positive correlation, and mid-range tones (such as yellow or green) indicate correlations that are close to neutral.
🟣 Practical Applications in Markets
Forex : Identify currency pairs that move together or in opposite directions, avoid overexposure to similar trades, and spot unusual divergences.
Crypto : Examine the dependency of altcoins on Bitcoin and find independent movers for portfolio diversification.
Stocks : Detect relationships between stocks in the same industry or find outliers that move differently from their sector.
🟣 Key Uses of Correlation in Trading
Risk management and diversification: Select assets with low or negative correlation to reduce portfolio volatility.
Avoiding overexposure: Prevent opening multiple positions on highly correlated assets.
Pairs trading: Exploit temporary deviations between historically correlated assets for arbitrage opportunities.
Intermarket analysis: Study the relationships between different markets like stocks, currencies, commodities, and bonds.
Divergence detection: Spot when two typically correlated assets move apart as a possible trend change signal.
Market forecasting: Use correlated asset movements to anticipate others’ behavior.
Event reaction analysis: Evaluate how groups of assets respond to economic or political events.
❗ Important Note
It’s important to note that correlation does not imply causation — it only reflects co-movement between assets. Correlation is also dynamic and can change over time, which is why analyzing it across multiple timeframes provides a more accurate picture. Combining correlation heatmaps with other analytical tools can significantly improve the precision of trading decisions.
🔵 How to Use
The Correlation Heatmap Matrix indicator is designed to analyze and manage the relationships between multiple assets at once. After adding the tool to your chart, start by selecting the assets you want to compare (up to 20).
Then, choose the Correlation Period that fits your trading strategy. Shorter periods (e.g., 20 bars) are more sensitive to recent price movements, making them suitable for short-term trading, while longer periods (e.g., 100 or 200 bars) provide a broader view of correlation trends over time.
The indicator outputs a color-coded matrix where each cell represents the correlation between two assets. Warm colors like red and orange signal strong negative correlation, while cool colors like blue and cyan indicate strong positive correlation. Mid-range tones such as yellow or green suggest correlations that are close to neutral. This visual representation makes it easy to spot market patterns at a glance.
One of the most valuable uses of this tool is in portfolio risk management. Portfolios with highly correlated assets are more vulnerable to market swings. By using the heatmap, traders can find assets with low or negative correlation to reduce overall risk.
Another key benefit is preventing overexposure. For example, if EUR/USD and GBP/USD have a high positive correlation, opening trades on both is almost like doubling the position size on one asset, increasing risk unnecessarily. The heatmap makes such relationships clear, helping you avoid them.
The indicator is also useful for pairs trading, where a trader identifies assets that are usually correlated but have temporarily diverged — a potential arbitrage or mean-reversion opportunity.
Additionally, the tool supports intermarket analysis, allowing traders to see how movements in one market (e.g., crude oil) may impact others (e.g., the Canadian dollar). Divergence detection is another advantage: if two typically aligned assets suddenly move in opposite directions, it could signal a major trend shift or a news-driven move.
Overall, the Correlation Heatmap Matrix is not just an analytical indicator but also a fast, visual alert system for monitoring multiple markets at once. This is particularly valuable for traders in fast-moving environments like Forex and crypto.
🔵 Settings
🟣 Logic
Correlation Period : Number of bars used to calculate correlation between assets.
🟣 Display
Table on Chart : Enable/disable displaying the heatmap directly on the chart.
Table Size : Choose the table size (from very small to very large).
Table Position : Set the table location on the chart (top, middle, or bottom in various alignments).
🟣 Symbol Custom
Select Market : Choose the market type (Forex, Stocks, Crypto, or Custom).
Symbol 1 to Symbol 20: In custom mode, you can define up to 20 assets for correlation calculation.
🔵 Conclusion
The Correlation Heatmap Matrix is a powerful tool for analyzing correlations across multiple assets in Forex, crypto, and stock markets. By displaying a color-coded table, it visually conveys both the strength and direction of correlations — warm colors for strong negative correlation, cool colors for strong positive correlation, and mid-range tones such as yellow or green for near-zero or neutral correlation.
This helps traders select assets with low or negative correlation for diversification, avoid overexposure to similar trades, identify arbitrage and pairs trading opportunities, and detect unusual divergences between typically aligned assets. With support for custom mode and up to 20 symbols, it offers high flexibility for different trading strategies, making it a valuable complement to technical analysis and risk management.
ALI Time Cycles - 2025This tool visually divides the trading day into time cycles.:
Large blocks of 90 minutes are the main work cycle.
Three indoor units with 30 minutes in each 90-minute window.
Each block is automatically stretched:
by time — from the beginning to the end of its period;
by price — from the minimum (Low) to the maximum (High) within this period.
The colors and structure make it easy to distinguish the different phases of the cycle.:
A (Accumulation) is the blue zone.
M (Manipulation) is the red zone.
D (Distribution) is a green area.
Approx STH Unrealized Profit [Relative %]This indicator estimates the unrealized profit or loss of short-term holders (STH) without requiring on-chain data. Instead of using actual STH Realized Price (average purchase price), it employs a 155-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) to approximate the behavior of "recent buyers."
How It Works
The indicator calculates the percentage deviation between the current price and the 155-day SMA using the formula:
(Current Price - 155 SMA) / 155 SMA * 100%.
Positive values indicate profit, while negative values show loss. Key threshold levels are set at +50% (overbought) and -30% (oversold).
Trading Applications
Profit > 50% - STH are experiencing significant profits, suggesting potential correction. Consider taking partial profits.
0% < Profit < 50% - Moderate profits indicate the trend may continue. Maintain positions.
Profit ≈ 0% - Price is near STH's average entry point, showing market indecision.
-30% < Profit < 0% - STH are at a loss, potentially signaling accumulation opportunities.
Profit < -30% - Extreme oversold conditions may present buying opportunities.
Limitations
SMA only approximates STH behavior.
May produce false signals during sideways markets.
SMA lag can be noticeable in strong trending markets.
Recommendation
For improved accuracy, combine this indicator with trend-following tools (200 EMA, Volume analysis) and other technical indicators. It serves best as a supplementary tool for identifying overbought/oversold market conditions within your trading strategy.

### 💡 Jolt Value: A Quick Guide for Smart Traders 🧠
The **jolt value** is your personal tripwire for volatility. Think of it as a warning light on your car's dashboard. You set the level, and when volatility (VWATR) crosses that line, you get an instant signal that something interesting is happening.
**How to Set Your Jolt Value:**
The ideal jolt value is dynamic. You want to keep it just a little above the current VIX level to stay alert without getting too many false alarms.
| Current VIX Level | Market Regime | Recommended Jolt Value |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Under 15 | Calm/Complacent | 15–16 |
| 15–20 | Typical/Normal | 16–18 |
| 20–30 | Cautious/Active | 18–22 |
| Over 30 | Stress/Panic | 30+ |
**A Pro Tip for August 2025:** Since the VIX is hovering around 14.7, setting your jolt value to **16.5** is a great starting point for keeping an eye on things. If the VIX starts to climb above 20, you should adjust your jolt level to match the new reality.
***
### ⚠️ Important Things to Note
* You might experience some data delays if you're not on a paid TradingView plan or your broker does not provide real-time data for the VIX also VIX is only active during NY session, so it's not advised to use it outside of normal trading hours!

ETH Kimchi Premium (KRW vs US) This indicator calculates and displays the Kimchi Premium of Ethereum (ETH) spot prices between a selected Korean exchange and a selected U.S. exchange.
The Kimchi Premium is defined as the percentage difference between the ETH price quoted in Korean Won (KRW) and the ETH price quoted in U.S. Dollars (USD),
converted using the current USD/KRW foreign exchange rate.
Formula:
Kimchi Premium (%) = ((ETH_KRW/USD_FX) - ETH_US) / ETH_US × 100
Features:
- Configurable Korean ETH/KRW symbol, U.S. ETH/USD symbol, and USD/KRW FX symbol
- Option to calculate on a custom timeframe independent of the chart timeframe
- EMA smoothing of the premium to reduce noise
- Raw premium and smoothed premium plot options
- Optional data table showing converted prices, FX rate, and premium values
- Alert condition when absolute premium exceeds a user-defined threshold

Typical Use:
Traders use the Kimchi Premium as a sentiment and arbitrage indicator. A large positive premium often signals strong buying interest in Korea,
while a negative premium can indicate selling pressure or weaker demand compared to U.S. markets."

Multi - Timeframe 3 EMA Bull/Bear Table此指标是一个图标指标，适用于短线交易以及中线交易，它明确的显示出来了用EMA来表示方向指示，1分钟不可使用，此图表更新了多次以及修改了多次，在实际回测中有明显的提醒作用，不过多用于参考，不可作为主要指标使用，代码稍复杂如有加以改进的地方请提出，其中核心使用了EMA的20，50，200周期来作为参考，目的是能识别多周期和时间的方向指示，注意：此指标建议仅用于方向参考，不用于主要指标交易。
This indicator is a graphical indicator suitable for short-term and medium-term trading. It clearly shows the direction indicated by the EMA. It cannot be used for 1-minute intervals. This chart has been updated and modified multiple times, and it has a significant alerting effect in actual backtesting; however, it is mainly for reference and should not be used as the primary indicator. The code is somewhat complex, so please suggest improvements if there are any. The core uses the 20, 50, and 200 EMA periods as references, with the aim of identifying the direction indicators across multiple periods and timeframes. Note: This indicator is recommended only for directional reference and not for main indicator trading.
