Nearest Rank For Loop - [JTCAPITAL]Nearest Rank For Loop is used for trend-following using the median of the data.
The indicator works by calculating in the following steps:
1. The median is calculated using the ranking length of the source and using "percentile nearest rank" to determine the middle value. This is done with the original length and the length devided by 3, averaged out to eliminate false signals from extremely fast and temporary market movements.
2. Over the length of the loop values get added based on the median being higher than the previous median.
3. The results of the for loop segment get smoothed out using an EMA.
--Buy and sell conditions--
-When the for loop values get above the long threshold we enter a buying condition, we dont exit the buying condition until the for loop values get below the short condition. Which signals a short.
-When the values stay between the thresholds the signal doesnt change. This and smoothing out the for loop values is used to eliminate false signals as much as possible.
--Features and Parameters--
-Allows the changing of the length of the ranking (median)
-Allows the usage of different sources
-Allows changing of the paramaters over the start and end of the for loop segment
-Allows changing the thresholds for longs and shorts
-Allows changing the parameter for the smoothing using an EMA
--Details--
Both the wide thresholds and the use of an EMA over the for loop values are used to eliminate as much false signals as possible. Aswell as deviding the length by 3 and taking the average from the medians. From testing this indicator we have found that using a very small value for the shorting gives the overall best performance. Since a fast market move wont immediately trigger a false signal, but it also wont massively delay entries and exits.
It is recommended to change the parameter settings for different asset classes and timeframes based off volatility and fast and confusing market movements.
Enjoy!

BB Crosses Optimized - [JTCAPITAL]BB Crosses Optimized is a modified way to use Bollinger Bands for Trend-Following
The indicator works by calculating in the following steps:
1. The source gets smoothed out using a moving average
2. Calculating the Bollinger Bands using the SMA of the smoothed source and the standard deviation of the smoothed source.
3. Trigger a signal based on current price and the buy/sell conditions.
--Buy and sell conditions--
-The buy and sell conditions are defined by the price going above/below the first standard deviation. When this goes on the opposite direction of the current trend, the trend changes. If this goes in the same direction of the current trend, the line follows the price by moving up with the standard deviation.
-When using the ATR filter the ATR gets subtracted from the lows or added onto the highs to eliminate false signals in choppy markets.
--Features and Parameters--
-Allows the usage of different sources
-Allows the usage of different moving average types
-Allows the changing of the length of the ATR
-Allows the changing of the length of the bollinger bands period
-Allows the changing of the standard deviation used from the bollinger bands
-Allows the changing of the length for smoothing out the price data
--Details--
This script is using multiple moving averages, sometimes even stacked upon eachother. And it also uses the moving average of the raw data on a short period to calculate the standard deviations. This in combination with the ATR filter is meant to eliminate as much false signals as I could. Without making all the entries and exits extremely delayed.
Be aware that disabling the ATR will allow for faster entries and exits but also allow for more false signals. It is recommended to change the parameters to fit your liking and to adjust to the timeframe you are working on.
Enjoy!
Adaptive HMA Trendfilter & Profit SpikesShort Description
Adaptive trend-following filter using Hull Moving Average (HMA) slope.
Includes optional Keltner Channel entries/exits and dynamic spike-based take-profit markers (ATR/Z-Score).
Optional Fast HMA for early entry visualization (not included in logic).
USER GUIDE:
1) Quick Overview
Trend Filter: Slow HMA defines Bull / Bear / Sideways (via slope & direction).
Entries / Exits:
Entry: Color change of the slow HMA (red→green = Long, green→red = Short), optionally filtered by the Keltner basis.
Exit: Preferably via Keltner Band (Long: Close under Upper Band; Short: Close above Lower Band).
Fallback: exit on opposite HMA color change.
Take-Profit Spikes: Marks abnormal moves (ATR, Z-Score, or both) as discretionary TP signals.
Fast HMA (optional): Purely visual for early entry opportunities; not part of the core trading logic (see §5).
2) Adding & Basic Setup
Add the indicator to your chart.
Open Settings (gear icon) and configure:
HMA: Slow HMA Length = 55, Slope Lookback = 10, Slope Threshold = 0.20%.
Keltner: KC Length = 20, Multiplier = 1.5.
Spike-TP: Mode = ATR+Z, ATR Length = 14, Z Length = 20, Cooldown = 5.
Optionally: enable Fast HMA (e.g., length = 20).
3) Input Parameters – Key Controls
Slow HMA Length: Higher = smoother, fewer but cleaner signals.
Slope Lookback: How far back HMA slope is compared against.
Slope Threshold (%): Minimum slope to avoid “Sideways” regime.
KC Length / Multiplier: Width and reactivity of Keltner Channels.
Exits via KC Bands: Toggle on/off (recommended: on).
Entries only above/below KC Basis: Helps filter out chop.
Spike Mode: Choose ATR, Z, or ATR+Z (stricter, fewer signals).
Spikes only when in position: TP markers show only when you’re in a trade.
4) Entry & Exit Logic
Entries
Long: Slow HMA turns from red → green, and (if filter enabled) Close > KC Basis.
Short: Slow HMA turns from green → red, and (if filter enabled) Close < KC Basis.
Exits
KC Exit (recommended):
Long → crossunder(close, Upper KC) closes trade.
Short → crossover(close, Lower KC).
Fallback Exit: If KC Exits are off → exit on opposite HMA color change.
Spike-TP (Discretionary)
Marks unusually large deviations from HMA.
Use for partial profits or tightening stops.
⚠️ Not auto-traded — only marker/alert.
5) Early Entry Opportunities (Fast HMA Cross – visual only)
The script can optionally display a Fast HMA (e.g., 20) alongside the Slow HMA (e.g., 55).
Bullish early hint: Fast HMA crosses above Slow HMA, or stays above, before the Slow HMA officially turns green.
Bearish early hint: opposite.
⚠️ These signals are not part of the built-in logic — they are purely discretionary:
Advantage: Earlier entries, more profit potential.
Risk: Higher chance of whipsaws.
Practical workflow (early long entry):
Fast HMA crosses above Slow HMA AND Close > KC Basis.
Enter small position with tight stop (under KC Basis or HMA swing).
Once Slow HMA confirms green → add to position or trail stop tighter.
6) Recommended Presets
Crypto (1h/2h):
HMA: 55 / 10 / 0.20–0.30%
KC: 20 / 1.5–1.8
Spikes: ATR+Z, ATR=14, Z=20, Cooldown 5
FX (1h/4h):
HMA: 55 / 8–10 / 0.10–0.25%
KC: 20 / 1.2–1.5
Indices (15m/1h):
HMA: 50–60 / 8–12 / 0.15–0.30%
KC: 20 / 1.3–1.6
Fine-tuning:
Too noisy? → Raise slope threshold or increase HMA length.
Too sluggish? → Lower slope threshold or shorten HMA length.
7) Alerts – Best Practice
Long/Short Entry – get notified when trend color switches & KC filter is valid.
Long/Short Exit – for KC exits or fallback exits.
Long/Short Spike TP – for discretionary profit-taking.
Set via TradingView: Create Alert → Select this indicator → choose condition.
8) Common Pitfalls & Tips
Too many false signals?
Raise slope threshold (more “Sideways” filtering).
Enable KC filter for entries.
Entries too late?
Use Fast HMA cross for early discretionary entries.
Or lower slope threshold slightly.
Spikes too rare/frequent?
More frequent → ATR mode or lower ATR multiplier / Z-threshold.
Rarer but stronger → ATR+Z with higher thresholds.
9) Example Playbook (Long Trade)
Regime: Slow HMA still red, Fast HMA crosses upward (early hint).
Filter: Close > KC Basis.
Early Entry: Small size, stop below KC Basis or recent swing low.
Confirmation: Slow HMA turns green → scale up or trail stop.
Management: Partial profits at Spike-TP marker; full exit at KC upper band break.
Session Open Candle MarkerThe "Session Open Candle Marker" is a Pine Script indicator designed for forex and futures traders using Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and RP Profits-inspired strategies. It marks the 15-minute opening range candles for the Asia, London, and NY sessions, where institutional "big players" often gather liquidity. Each session’s range is drawn as a rectangle with a customizable midpoint line, ideal for spotting breakouts, retests, and liquidity sweeps.
Features
Session Open Ranges: Plots rectangles for the 15m open candles of Asia (03:00 EEST), London (10:00 EEST), and NY (15:00 EEST), corresponding to 01:00, 08:00, and 13:00 GMT+1.
Customizable Visualization:
Toggle each session (Asia, London, NY) on/off.
Independent high/low label toggles for each session.
Adjustable rectangle color, midpoint line color, style (solid/dashed/dotted), and width.
Customizable rectangle duration (default: 96 bars, ~24 hours on 15m).
Timezone Flexibility: Default times are set for EEST (UTC+3). Adjust session inputs for your chart’s timezone (e.g., GMT+1: Asia 01:00, London 08:00, NY 13:00; UTC: Asia 00:00, London 07:00, NY 12:00).
Clean Design: Rectangles and labels update dynamically, with proper cleanup to avoid clutter.
Usage:
Setup: Add to a 15m chart (e.g., EURUSD, ES1!). Check your chart’s timezone (Chart Settings > Symbol > Timezone) and adjust session times if needed.
Settings:
Toggle sessions and labels to focus on desired ranges (e.g., London and NY for high volatility).
Customize colors, midpoint line style/width, and rectangle duration.
Trading:
Breakouts/Retests: Trade breakouts above/below the rectangle high/low, with retests back to the range or midpoint (aligned with RP Profits scalping).
Liquidity Sweeps: Watch for price sweeping session highs/lows, reversing for entries (SMC concept).
Strat Failed 2-Up/2-Down Scanner v2**Strat Failed 2-Up/2-Down Scanner**
The Strat Failed 2-Up/2-Down Scanner is designed for traders using The Strat methodology, developed by Rob Smith, to identify key reversal patterns in any market and timeframe. This indicator detects two specific candlestick patterns: Failed 2-Up (bearish) and Failed 2-Down (bullish), which signal potential reversals when a directional move fails to follow through.
**What It Does**
- **Failed 2-Up**: Identifies a bearish candle where the low and high are higher than the previous candle’s low and high, but the close is below the open, indicating a failed attempt to continue an uptrend. These are marked with a red candlestick, a red downward triangle above the bar, and a table entry.
- **Failed 2-Down**: Identifies a bullish candle where the high and low are lower than the previous candle’s high and low, but the close is above the open, signaling a failed downtrend. These are marked with a green candlestick, a green upward triangle below the bar, and a table entry.
- A table in the top-right corner displays the signal type ("Failed 2-Up" or "Failed 2-Down") and the ticker symbol for quick reference.
- Alerts are provided for both patterns, making the indicator compatible with TradingView’s screener for automated scanning.
**How It Works**
The indicator analyzes each candlestick’s high, low, and close relative to the previous candle:
- Failed 2-Up: `low > low `, `high > high `, `close < open`.
- Failed 2-Down: `high < high `, `low < low `, `close > open`.
When these conditions are met, the indicator applies visual markers (colored bars and triangles) and updates the signal table. Alert conditions trigger notifications for integration with TradingView’s alert system.
**How to Use**
1. Apply the indicator to any chart (stocks, forex, crypto, etc.) on any timeframe (e.g., 1-minute, hourly, daily).
2. Monitor the chart for red (Failed 2-Up) or green (Failed 2-Down) candlesticks with corresponding triangles.
3. Check the top-right table for the latest signal and ticker.
4. Set alerts by selecting “Failed 2-Up Detected” or “Failed 2-Down Detected” in TradingView’s alert menu to receive notifications (e.g., via email or app).
5. Use the signals to identify potential reversal setups in conjunction with other Strat-based analysis, such as swing levels or time-based strategies.
**Originality**
Unlike other Strat indicators that may focus on swing levels or complex candlestick combinations, this scanner specifically targets Failed 2-Up and Failed 2-Down patterns with clear, minimalist visualizations (bars, triangles, table) and robust alert functionality. Its simplicity makes it accessible for both novice and experienced traders using The Strat methodology.
**Ideal For**
Day traders, swing traders, and scalpers looking to capitalize on reversal signals in trending or ranging markets. The indicator is versatile for any asset class and timeframe, enhancing trade decision-making with The Strat’s pattern-based approach.

Volume Profile + VAH, VAL, and POCWhat it is
A clean, on-chart volume profile that approximates your visible range using a configurable Bars Back window. It builds a horizontal histogram of volume by price, splits each price bin into Buy vs Sell volume, draws POC, and computes Value Area High/Low (VAH/VAL). A Stealth Mode toggle switches to a subtle grayscale palette for low-key charts.
Why this instead of the built-in VPVR?
Buy/Sell split per bin: See which prices were defended by buyers vs sellers, not just total volume.
Value Area from POC outward: Classic expansion method until the selected % of total volume (default 70%).
Sleek borders & Stealth Mode: Crisp bin outlines and a one-click professional colorway.
Deterministic & fast: No sessions or anchors needed—set your Bars Back and go.
How it works (under the hood)
Window selection – Pine can’t read your viewport, so we approximate it with Bars Back (user input).
Binning – The window’s price range is divided into N bins.
Volume allocation – For each bar in the window:
Distribute Across Hi–Lo (optional): Spread volume across all bins the bar overlaps, weighted by overlap; or
Single-price mode: Assign all volume to one bin using a representative price (hlc3).
Buy/Sell split (two methods):
Body Proportional (recommended): Split by relative up/down body size (|close−open|).
Up/Down Candle: 100% buy if close ≥ open, else 100% sell.
POC & VA: Point of Control is the bin with max total volume. VAH/VAL expands from POC toward the higher-volume neighbor until the selected % of total volume is included.
Reading the visuals
Horizontal bars (right side): Total volume per price bin.
Left sub-segment = Sell volume
Right sub-segment = Buy volume
POC line: Price level with peak total volume.
VAH / VAL (dashed): Upper and lower bounds of the selected Value Area.
Borders: Each bin has a clean outer outline so the profile looks tight and organized.
Stealth Mode: Grayscale palette that preserves contrast without loud colors.
Key inputs (organized for clarity)
Theme
Stealth Mode: Toggles the grayscale look.
Core
Price Bins: Vertical resolution of the profile.
Lookback (Bars): Approximates your visible range.
Style
Profile Width (bars): How far the histogram extends to the right.
Bin Border Width: Outline thickness.
Markers & Lines
Show POC, Show VAH/VAL, Value Area %, VA line width.
Advanced
Distribute Volume Across Hi–Lo: More accurate, heavier compute.
Buy/Sell Split Method: Body Proportional (realistic) or Up/Down (simple).
Tips & best practices
Start with Body Proportional + Distribute Across ON for intraday accuracy.
If the chart lags, reduce Price Bins or Bars Back, or switch off distribution.
For small windows, fewer bins often looks cleaner (e.g., 30–60).
Stealth Mode plays nicely with both dark and light chart themes.
Limitations & notes
Viewport: Pine can’t access the actual visible bars; Bars Back is a practical stand-in.
Buy/Sell split: This is an approximation from candle bodies, not true bid/ask delta.
Designed for overlay; profile renders to the right of the latest bar.
Daily HOD / LOD Anchored VWAP (24/7 Markets)mart Daily HOD/LOD Anchored VWAP (Auto Detect + Alerts)
This indicator automatically anchors VWAP at the High of Day (HOD) and Low of Day (LOD) for each session/day.
No more manual anchoring — the script tracks intraday highs and lows in real-time and resets cleanly at the start of each trading day or session.

✅ Works for stock markets (with fixed sessions) and crypto markets (24/7)
✅ Clean reset every session/day
✅ Separate AVWAP lines for HOD and LOD
✅ Customizable colors & line widths
✅ Alerts included 🚨 (get notified instantly when a new High/Low AVWAP starts)
📈 Use Cases
Spot true intraday support/resistance levels
Track where institutions may be defending positions
Combine with price action, orderflow, or volume profile strategies
Perfect for intraday trading, scalping, and swing entries
⚡ Alerts
New HOD AVWAP → Fires when price makes a fresh high of day, starting a new anchored VWAP.
New LOD AVWAP → Fires when price makes a fresh low of day, starting a new anchored VWAP.
🛠️ Settings
Show/hide HOD or LOD VWAP
Customize line colors and thickness
Works seamlessly across stocks, futures, forex, and crypto
💡 Pro Tip:
AVWAP from the high and low of the day often acts as a magnet for price. Watch how price reacts when revisiting these levels — confluence with other indicators = high-probability setups.

Range Expansion Signal (RES)Range Expansion Signal (RES)
The Range Expansion Signal (RES) is a lightweight yet effective indicator designed to highlight the internal dynamics of each candle.
🔹 How it works
Calculates the mid-price of each candle (the average between high and low).
Plots a horizontal line at the mid-price level.
Displays the mid-price value as a label on the chart.
Adds a directional marker:
▲ green when the current price is above the mid-price,
▼ red when the current price is below the mid-price.
🔹 How to use it
Quickly assess whether buying or selling pressure dominates within the candle.
Use as a reference in intraday or short-term strategies where range expansion matters.
Ideal for spotting potential breakouts, reversals, or confirming price action setups.
🔹 Why it’s useful
Unlike standard moving averages or static midpoints, RES provides a real-time visual signal directly on each candle. This makes it faster and cleaner to interpret price behavior without cluttering the chart.
Daily Levels (Open, Prev High/Low)A clean and lightweight indicator that automatically plots three key intraday levels: the Daily Open, the Previous Day's High (PDH), and the Previous Day's Low (PDL). Essential for identifying potential support, resistance, and daily market bias without cluttering your chart.
Overview
This indicator is designed to be a simple yet powerful tool for intraday traders. It automatically draws three of the most significant price levels that traders watch every day:
The Current Day's Opening Price
The Previous Day's High (PDH)
The Previous Day's Low (PDL)
By having these levels plotted automatically, you can keep your charts clean and focus on your strategy instead of manually drawing lines every new trading session.
Key Features
Dynamic Daily Open Line: This line represents the opening price of the current session. It dynamically changes color to give you an at-a-glance view of the daily sentiment.
Green: Current price is trading above the daily open (Bullish sentiment).
Red: Current price is trading below the daily open (Bearish sentiment).
Gray: Current price is at the open.
Previous Day's High (PDH): A line marking the highest price reached during the prior trading session. This level frequently acts as a key resistance point.
Previous Day's Low (PDL): A line marking the lowest price reached during the prior trading session. This level often serves as a key support area.
How to Use This Indicator
These levels are fundamental to many intraday trading strategies:
Identify Support & Resistance: Use PDH and PDL as natural areas to watch for price reactions. A break above PDH can signal strong bullish momentum, while a break below PDL can indicate strong bearish momentum.
Gauge Market Bias: Trading above the Daily Open is often considered bullish for the day, while trading below it is considered bearish. This can help you filter trades to align with the dominant intraday trend.
Set Entries & Exits: Look for confirmation signals (like candlestick patterns or other indicator signals) when the price interacts with these levels. They can also be logical areas for placing stop-losses or take-profit targets.
Customization
The indicator is fully customizable to fit your charting style:
Toggle the visibility of the Daily Open and the PDH/PDL lines.
Adjust the colors and line widths for each level.
This tool helps you stay focused on the levels that matter most for day trading.
HTF Dealing Range & FibsKey Features:
Premium & Discount Zone Visualization: Clear, color-coded boxes are drawn to represent the Premium (sell zone), Discount (buy zone), and the crucial Equilibrium (50%) level. These boxes extend into the future so you can anticipate future price action.
Customizable Fibonacci Levels: Plot key Fibonacci retracement levels within the defined range. You can customize which levels you want to see (e.g., 0.62, 0.79, etc.) to pinpoint specific points of interest.
Multi-Timeframe Confluence Table: A powerful, on-screen dashboard that shows you the status of the current price relative to the P&D zones on up to 5 different timeframes simultaneously. Instantly see if the price is in a Premium or Discount zone on the 15m, 1H, 4H, and Daily charts at a single glance.
Built-in Alerts: Never miss an opportunity. Set up alerts to be notified the moment the price enters the Premium or Discount zone on your chosen HTF, allowing you to prepare for potential trade setups.
Fully Customizable: Take full control over the indicator's appearance. Adjust pivot lookback periods, colors of the zones and Fibs, and select which timeframes appear in your dashboard to match your personal trading plan.

• Efficiency Score - Calculates directional movement efficiency ratio
These scores combine to classify markets into five regimes:
• TRENDING - Strong directional movement with aligned indicators
• RANGING - Sideways movement with mixed directional signals
• VOLATILE - Elevated volatility with unpredictable price swings
• QUIET - Low volatility consolidation periods
• TRANSITIONAL - Market shifting between different regimes
2. Market Structure Analysis
Advanced pivot point analysis identifies:
• Higher Highs and Higher Lows for bullish structure
• Lower Highs and Lower Lows for bearish structure
• Structure breaks when established patterns fail
• Dynamic support and resistance from recent pivot points
• Key level proximity detection using ATR-based buffers
3. Volume Flow Decoding
Institutional activity detection through:
• Volume surge identification when volume exceeds 2x average
• Buy versus sell pressure analysis using price-volume correlation
• Flow strength measurement through directional volume consistency
• Divergence detection between volume and price movements
• Institutional threshold alerts when unusual volume patterns emerge
4. Multi-Period Momentum Synthesis
Weighted momentum calculation across four timeframes:
• 1-period momentum weighted at 40%
• 3-period momentum weighted at 30%
• 5-period momentum weighted at 20%
• 8-period momentum weighted at 10%
Result smoothed with 6-period EMA for noise reduction.
5. Price Action Quality Assessment
Each bar evaluated for:
• Range quality relative to 20-period average
• Body-to-range ratio for directional conviction
• Wick analysis for rejection pattern identification
• Pattern recognition including engulfing and hammer formations
• Sequential price movement analysis
6. Adaptive Parameter System
Parameters automatically adjust based on detected regime:
• Trending markets reduce sensitivity and confirmation requirements
• Volatile markets increase filtering and require additional confirmations
• Ranging markets maintain neutral settings
• Transitional markets use moderate adjustments

Multi-Timeframe Options Strategy with Dynamic Scoring System## Multi-Timeframe Options Strategy with Dynamic Scoring System
### Overview
This indicator combines 12 technical analysis tools using a proprietary 30-point scoring system to generate options trading signals (CALL/PUT). It's designed for traders seeking confluence-based entries with multiple confirmation layers.
### How the Scoring System Works
The indicator evaluates market conditions across three categories:
**Trend Analysis (9 points maximum):**
- EMA Alignment (9, 21, 50, 200): Checks if moving averages are properly stacked (3 points)
- ADX Trend Strength: Confirms trend momentum above 25 threshold (3 points)
- Higher Timeframe Confirmation: Validates signals against larger timeframe trend (3 points)
**Momentum Indicators (7 points maximum):**
- RSI Position & Direction: Optimal zones 40-65 for buys, 35-60 for sells (2 points)
- MACD Signal Line Cross: Momentum confirmation (2 points)
- Stochastic Oscillator: Overbought/oversold conditions (2 points)
- Bollinger Band Position: Price relative to middle band (1 point)
**Market Quality Filters (4 points maximum):**
- Volume Confirmation: 1.5x average volume requirement (2 points)
- VWAP Position: Trend alignment check (1 point)
- ATR Volatility: Ensures adequate price movement (1 point)
### Key Features
**1. Fair Value Gaps (FVG)**
- Identifies price inefficiencies between candles
- Bullish FVG: Current low > high (potential support)
- Bearish FVG: Current high < low (potential resistance)
- Visual representation with colored boxes on chart
**2. Three Operating Modes**
- Normal Mode: Minimum 10 points - balanced signal frequency
- High Mode: Minimum 15 points - fewer but stronger signals
- Ultra Mode: Minimum 20 points - only highest quality setups
**3. Protection Mechanisms**
- Bollinger Band squeeze detection avoids ranging markets
- Prevents conflicting signals (no simultaneous CALL/PUT)
- 5-bar minimum cooldown between signals
- Filters extreme RSI readings (>75 or <25)
**4. Risk Management**
- Three profit targets: 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%
- Stop loss: 0.5% or ATR-based
- Visual target lines with entry/exit levels
### How Components Work Together
The indicator creates a comprehensive market analysis by combining:
- **EMAs** provide the trend structure framework
- **Oscillators** (RSI, Stochastic) identify optimal entry timing
- **ADX** confirms trend strength to filter weak signals
- **Volume** validates institutional participation
- **Higher timeframe** acts as a directional filter
Each component contributes points to either bullish or bearish scoring. Signals only generate when one direction significantly outweighs the other and meets minimum thresholds.
### Usage Instructions
1. **Select Mode**: Choose Normal/High/Ultra based on your trading style
2. **Monitor Dashboard**: Check real-time scoring and market conditions
3. **Wait for Signals**: Main BUY/SELL labels appear when criteria met
4. **Follow Targets**: Use automated TP and SL levels for risk management
5. **Candle Labels**: Optional CALL/PUT labels show building momentum
### Dashboard Information
The dashboard displays:
- Current trend direction and HTF confirmation
- ADX strength and direction
- RSI status with divergence detection
- MACD momentum state
- Volume multiplier
- Market condition (trending/ranging)
- Live scoring for both directions
### Important Notes
- This is a technical analysis tool, not financial advice
- Past performance does not guarantee future results
- Always use proper risk management
- Test thoroughly on demo before live trading
### Originality
This indicator's unique value comes from:
1. The 30-point weighted scoring system that prioritizes different factors
2. Integration of Fair Value Gaps with traditional indicators
3. Multi-mode operation allowing traders to adjust signal frequency
4. Higher timeframe validation system
5. Comprehensive filtering to reduce false signals
The combination creates a systematic approach to options trading that goes beyond simple indicator mashups by providing clear, scored reasoning for each signal.

The Debasement IndexOVERVIEW
The Debasement Index measures asset prices relative to monetary debasement, providing a currency-neutral view of underlying economic fundamentals. Unlike traditional inflation metrics, it captures the sole impact of money supply expansion on asset valuations across different monetary regimes.
Key Innovation: Divides any asset by the ratio of Broad Money Supply (M2/M3) to Real GDP, reducing the impact of excess money creation on asset prices.
HOW IT WORKS
• Input 1: Select any symbol/asset for analysis (default: close price)
• Region: Choose country/currency for debasement calculation
• Display: Purple line overlay on main chart
Formula: Asset Price ÷ Debasement Index
i.e.
Formula: Asset Price ÷ (Money Supply / Real Output / last result (to rebased the index))
The indicator calculates neutralised security prices for each supported region:
• Numerator: M2/M3 money supply data
• Denominator: Real GDP (inflation-adjusted economic output)
• Number: rebases the index to the last updated value of the selected security
Supported Regions: US, UK etc. (regions may change based on availability)
DATA SOURCES
FRED (Federal Reserve Economic Data), TradingView Economics data feeds
INTERPRETATION
Rising Ratio: Asset outperforming monetary debasement (genuine value creation)
Falling Ratio: Asset underperforming relative to currency dilution (fundamental value loss)
Trend Analysis: Long-term slopes reveal whether assets maintain purchasing power against monetary expansion
The purple line represents the performance of the selected security after filtering out monetary noise, exposing fundamental economic trends that raw prices often obscure.
Take special note that most indices do not provide the total return, and the total return is necessary to understand actual value gains and losses.
APPLICATIONS
• Asset Allocation: Compare real returns across different monetary environments
• Cross-Country Analysis: Evaluate assets in countries with varying monetary policies
• Regime Identification: Spot asset price transitions that raw price measurements might obfuscate
• Value Assessment: Distinguish between monetary-driven and fundamental price movements
THEORETICAL FOUNDATION
Inspired by Anna Schwartz's monetary framework, the index attempts to measure currency dilution and remove that impact on the selected asset prices. It is a systematic attempt to filter out ‘monetary noise’ from financial data. The index addresses limitations of traditional inflation measures by:
1. Using real GDP (not nominal) to avoid circular causation of money creation
2. Capturing asset price effects beyond goods and services
3. Providing regime-aware analysis across monetary systems
LIMITATIONS
• Requires reliable M2/M3 and GDP data (scope and quality vary by country)
• Rebasing factors need periodic adjustment
• Most effective for medium to long-term analysis
• Not suitable for short-term trading signals
Note: This indicator reveals trends rather than providing entry/exit signals. Combining debasement-adjusted indices with comprehensive fundamental analysis can reframe and enhance your insights, providing a more complete understanding of price developments over time.
Adaptive Valuation [BackQuant]Adaptive Valuation
What this is
A composite, zero-centered oscillator that standardizes several classic indicators and blends them into one “valuation” line. It computes RSI, CCI, Demarker, and the Price Zone Oscillator, converts each to a rolling z-score, then forms a weighted average. Optional smoothing, dynamic overbought and oversold bands, and an on-chart table make the inputs and the final score easy to inspect.
How it works
Components
• RSI with its own lookback.
• CCI with its own lookback.
• DM (Demarker) with its own lookback.
• PZO (Price Zone Oscillator) with its own lookback.
Standardization via z-score
Each component is transformed using a rolling z-score over lookback bars:
z = (value − mean) ÷ stdev , where the mean is an EMA and the stdev is rolling.
This puts all inputs on a comparable scale measured in standard deviations.
Weighted blend
The z-scores are combined with user weights w_rsi, w_cci, w_dm, w_pzo to produce a single valuation series. If desired, it is then smoothed with a selected moving average (SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, RMA, DEMA, TEMA, LINREG, ALMA, T3). ALMA’s sigma input shapes its curve.
Dynamic thresholds (optional)
Two ways to set overbought and oversold:
• Static : fixed levels at ob_thres and os_thres .
• Dynamic : ±k·σ bands, where σ is the rolling standard deviation of the valuation over dynLen .
Bands can be centered at zero or around the valuation’s rolling mean ( centerZero ).
Visualization and UI
• Zero line at 0 with gradient fill that darkens as the valuation moves away from 0.
• Optional plotting of band lines and background highlights when OB or OS is active.
• Optional candle and background coloring driven by the valuation.
• Summary table showing each component’s current z-score, the final score, and a compact status.
How it can be used
• Bias filter : treat crosses above 0 as bullish bias and below 0 as bearish bias.
• Mean-reversion context : look for exhaustion when the valuation enters the OB or OS region, then watch for exits from those regions or a return toward 0.
• Signal confirmation : use the final score to confirm setups from structure or price action.
• Adaptive banding : with dynamic thresholds, OB and OS adjust to prevailing variability rather than relying on fixed lines.
• Component tuning : change weights to emphasize trend (raise DM, reduce RSI/CCI) or range behavior (raise RSI/CCI, reduce DM). PZO can help in swing environments.
Why z-score blending helps
Indicators often live on different scales. Z-scoring places them on a common, unitless axis, so a one-sigma move in RSI has comparable influence to a one-sigma move in CCI. This reduces scale bias and allows transparent weighting. It also facilitates regime-aware thresholds because the dynamic bands scale with recent dispersion.
Inputs to know
• Component lookbacks : rsilb, ccilb, dmlb, pzolb control each raw signal.
• Standardization window : lookback sets the z-score memory. Longer smooths, shorter reacts.
• Weights : w_rsi, w_cci, w_dm, w_pzo determine each component’s influence.
• Smoothing : maType, smoothP, sig govern optional post-blend smoothing.
• Dynamic bands : dyn_thres, dynLen, thres_k, centerZero configure the adaptive OB/OS logic.
• UI : toggle the plot, table, candle coloring, and threshold lines.
Reading the plot
• Above 0 : composite pressure is positive.
• Below 0 : composite pressure is negative.
• OB region : valuation above the chosen OB line. Risk of mean reversion rises and momentum continuation needs evidence.
• OS region : mirror logic on the downside.
• Band exits : leaving OB or OS can serve as a normalization cue.
Strengths
• Normalizes heterogeneous signals into one interpretable series.
• Adjustable component weights to match instrument behavior.
• Dynamic thresholds adapt to changing volatility and drift.
• Transparent diagnostics from the on-chart table.
• Flexible smoothing choices, including ALMA and T3.
Limitations and cautions
• Z-scores assume a reasonably stationary window. Sharp regime shifts can make recent bands unrepresentative.
• Highly correlated components can overweight the same effect. Consider adjusting weights to avoid double counting.
• More smoothing adds lag. Less smoothing adds noise.
• Dynamic bands recalibrate with dynLen ; if set too short, bands may swing excessively. If too long, bands can be slow to adapt.
Practical tuning tips
• Trending symbols: increase w_dm , use a modest smoother like EMA or T3, and use centerZero dynamic bands.
• Choppy symbols: increase w_rsi and w_cci , consider ALMA with a higher sigma , and widen bands with a larger thres_k .
• Multiday swing charts: lengthen lookback and dynLen to stabilize the scale.
• Lower timeframes: shorten component lookbacks slightly and reduce smoothing to keep signals timely.
Alerts
• Enter and exit of Overbought and Oversold, based on the active band choice.
• Bullish and bearish zero crosses.
Use alerts as prompts to review context rather than as stand-alone trade commands.
Final Remarks
We created this to show people a different way of making indicators & trading.
You can process normal indicators in multiple ways to enhance or change the signal, especially with this you can utilise machine learning to optimise the weights, then trade accordingly.
All of the different components were selected to give some sort of signal, its made out of simple components yet is effective. As long as the user calibrates it to their Trading/ investing style you can find good results. Do not use anything standalone, ensure you are backtesting and creating a proper system.
VVIX/VIX Ratio with Interpretation LevelsVVIX/VIX Ratio with Interpretation Levels
This indicator plots the ratio of VVIX (Volatility of Volatility Index) to VIX (CBOE Volatility Index) in a separate panel.
The ratio highlights when the options market is pricing unusually high volatility in volatility (VVIX) relative to the base volatility index (VIX).
Ratio < 5 → Complacency: Markets expect stability; often a pre-shock zone.
5–6 → Tension Building: Traders begin hedging volatility risk while VIX remains low.
6–7 → Elevated Risk: Divergence warns of potential regime change in volatility.
> 7 → High-Risk Zone: Options market pricing aggressive swings; can precede volatility spikes in equities.
The script also includes dashed interpretation lines (5, 6, 7) and automatic labels when key thresholds are crossed.
Background shading helps visualize current regime.
Use cases:
Detect hidden stress when VIX remains calm but VVIX rises.
Anticipate potential volatility regime shifts.
Support risk management and timing of long/short volatility strategies.
Staggered Exponential PullbacksIndicator Description: Staggered Exponential Pullbacks (Final)
Core Concept
This indicator is designed to dynamically track and visualize price pullbacks from a recent high. It serves as an intelligent alert system and a tool for visualizing potential support levels that follow a predefined, non-linear logic.
Instead of a fixed percentage interval, the indicator calculates the levels based on a fixed, exponentially increasing sequence of percentages. The distance between the levels increases as the price falls further. This models a strategy where larger price movements are tolerated as a pullback deepens before the next signal level is reached. The basis for this calculation is always the highest close of the last x candles.
Key Features
This indicator goes far beyond a simple calculation, offering a range of intelligent features for professional use:
Cascading, Fixed Levels: The levels are based on a fixed sequence of percentage distances (3.0%, 3.6%, 4.3%, etc.), where each new level is calculated from the previous level.
Persistent Support Levels ("Floors"): Once an alert level is breached, it transforms into a fixed support line ("floor"). This line will never move down, even if the market high subsequently drops.
Automatic Upward Adjustment: Established floors are automatically pulled upwards when the market shows new strength and makes higher highs. A once-reached -3% floor will therefore rise with the market.
Intelligent, Self-Cleaning Reset Logic: The indicator recognizes when a pullback sequence has ended and a new one has begun. "Ghost lines" from old, irrelevant price movements are automatically removed from the chart to ensure maximum clarity.
Cascade-Proof Alerts: Even during extremely fast sell-offs that break through multiple levels in a single candle, the indicator correctly captures every single level breach.
Customizable Visualization: All key parameters, such as the lookback period and the colors of the lines, can be easily adjusted in the settings.
Visual Elements on the Chart
The Orange Line (Highest Close): This is the reference line. It always shows the highest closing price within the defined lookback period and has a step-line shape.
The 'Floor' Lines (Default: Yellow): These are solid lines that indicate which percentage levels have already been breached in the current sequence. They function as established support levels.
The 'Next Due' Line (Default: Purple): This is a step-line that displays the next expected alert level. It moves dynamically with the calculation. As soon as the price crosses this line, an alert is triggered, and it transforms into a yellow "Floor" line.
Settings (Inputs)
Number of Candles (Lookback): Defines how many past candles are used to determine the highest closing price.
Displayed Alert Levels (Max 10): Determines the maximum number of levels the indicator will calculate and display.
Color of Floors: Allows you to freely choose the color for the solid, established support lines.
Color of Next Due Line: Allows you to freely choose the color for the next, untriggered alert line.
Setting Up Alerts (Important!)
Since the indicator uses dynamic alert messages, the alert must be set up as follows:
Add the indicator to the chart.
Click the clock icon ("Alert") in the top toolbar.
In the "Condition" field, select the name of this indicator: Staggered Exponential Pullbacks.
In the second dropdown menu, you must select the option "Any alert() function call".
Message: The message box can be left empty. The indicator automatically generates a detailed message (e.g., "Price Alert: Level 2 (3.6%) reached!").
Click "Create".

ARMA(Autoregressive Moving Average) Model -DeepALGO-📊 ARMA Model Indicator
This script is a custom indicator based on the ARMA (Autoregressive Moving Average) model, one of the fundamental and widely used models in time series analysis.
While ARMA is typically employed in statistical software, this implementation makes it accessible directly on TradingView, allowing traders to visualize and apply the dynamics of ARMA in financial markets with ease.
🧩 What is the ARMA Model?
The ARMA model explains time series data by combining two components: Autoregression (AR) and Moving Average (MA).
AR (Autoregression) component
Captures the dependence of current values on past values, modeling the inherent autocorrelation of the series.
MA (Moving Average) component
Incorporates past forecast errors (residuals), smoothing out randomness and noise while improving predictive capability.
By combining these two aspects, ARMA models can capture both the underlying structure of the data and the random fluctuations, providing a more robust description of price behavior than simple averages alone.
⚙️ Design of This Script
In classical statistics, ARMA coefficients are estimated using the ACF (Autocorrelation Function) and PACF (Partial Autocorrelation Function). However, this process is often too complex for trading environments.
This script simplifies the approach:
The coefficients theta (θ) and epsilon (ε) are fixed, automatically derived from the chosen AR and MA periods.
This eliminates the need for statistical estimation, making the indicator easy to apply with simple parameter adjustments.
The goal is not academic rigor, but practical usability for traders.
🔧 Configurable Parameters
AR Period (p): Order of the autoregressive part.
MA Period (q): Order of the moving average part. Shorter periods yield faster responsiveness, while longer periods produce smoother outputs.
Offset: Shifts the line forward or backward for easier comparison.
Smoothing Period: Additional smoothing to reduce noise.
Source: Choose from Close, HL2, HLC3, High, or Low.
🎯 Advantages Compared to Traditional Moving Averages
Commonly used moving averages such as SMA (Simple Moving Average) and EMA (Exponential Moving Average) are intuitive but have limitations:
SMA applies equal weights to past data, which makes it slow to respond to new price changes.
EMA emphasizes recent data, providing faster response but often introducing more noise and reducing smoothness.
The ARMA-based approach provides two key advantages:
Balance of Responsiveness and Smoothness
AR terms capture autocorrelation while MA terms correct residuals, resulting in a smoother line that still reacts more quickly than SMA or EMA.
Flexible Adaptation
By adjusting the MA period (q), traders can fine-tune how closely the model follows price fluctuations—ranging from rapid short-term responses to stable long-term trend recognition.
📈 Practical Use Cases
The ARMA indicator can be applied in several practical ways:
Trend Direction Estimation
The slope and position of the ARMA line can provide a straightforward read of bullish or bearish market conditions.
Trend Reversal Identification
Changes in the ARMA line’s direction may signal early signs of a reversal, often with faster reaction compared to traditional moving averages.
Confirmation with Other Indicators
Combine ARMA with oscillators such as RSI or MACD to improve the reliability of signals.
Combination with Heikin-Ashi
Heikin-Ashi candles smooth out price action and highlight trend changes. When used together with ARMA, they can significantly enhance reversal detection. For example, if Heikin-Ashi indicates a potential reversal and the ARMA line simultaneously changes direction, the confluence provides a stronger and more reliable trading signal.
⚠️ Important Notes
Risk of Overfitting
Excessive optimization of AR or MA periods may lead to overfitting, where the indicator fits historical data well but fails to generalize to future market conditions. Keep parameter choices simple and consistent.
Weakness in Sideways Markets
ARMA works best in trending environments. In range-bound conditions, signals may become noisy or less reliable. Consider combining it with range-detection tools or volume analysis.
Not a Standalone System
This indicator should not be used in isolation for trading decisions. It is best employed as part of a broader analysis framework, combining multiple indicators and fundamental insights.
💡 Summary
This script brings the theoretical foundation of ARMA into a practical, chart-based tool for traders.
It is particularly valuable for those who find SMA too lagging or EMA too noisy, offering a more nuanced balance between responsiveness and smoothness.
By capturing both autocorrelation and residual structure, ARMA provides a deeper view of market dynamics.
Combined with tools such as Heikin-Ashi or oscillators, it can significantly enhance trend reversal detection and strategy reliability.
Global Sessions with Trend & Liquidity Features:
-Session ranges with customizable lines & colors
-Opening range markers and optional background shading
-Automatic trend detection per session (Bullish / Bearish / Neutral)
-Indicators when highs/lows are broken
-Clean visual design with toggles for minimal or detailed display
This Pine Script code is designed to help traders visualize and analyze different market sessions. It's a tool that displays the trading hours for the Asian, London, and New York sessions right on the chart.
The main purpose is to show when these key markets are open and to highlight their price ranges. It also includes features to track the trend within each session and to identify "liquidity sweeps" or moments when the price breaks the high or low of a previous session.
In simple terms, it helps a trader see what the market is doing and where the price is likely to go, all based on the major global trading times. It's especially useful for day traders who want to align their strategies with the activity of specific markets.
P.S. Apologies to users not in the EST timezone! This version is hardcoded to Eastern Standard Time, and I'm not currently sure how to automatically adjust it for different timezones. But you can adjust manually and click the dropdown menu to Save As Default.
VWAP Price ChannelVWAP Price Channel cuts the crust off of a traditional price channel (Donchian Channel) by anchoring VWAPs at the highs and lows. By doing this, the flat levels, characteristic of traditional Donchian Channels, are no more!
Author's Note: This indicator is formed with no inherent use, and serves solely as a thought experiment.
> Concept
I would be hesitant to call this a "predictive" indicator, however the behavior of it would suggest it could be considered at least partially predictive
Essentially, the Anchored VWAPs creates something from otherwise nothing.
While the DC upper or lower values are staying flat, the VWAPs improvise based on price and volume to project a level that may be a better representation of where future highs or lows may settle.
Visually, this looks like we have cut off the corners of the Donchian Channel.
Note: Notice how we are calculating values before the corners are realized.
> Implementation
While this is only a concept indicator, The specific application I've gone with for this, is a sort of supertrend-ish display (A Trend Flipping Trailing Stop Loss).
The script uses basic logic to create a trend direction, and then displays the Anchored VWAPs as a form of trailing stop loss.
While "In Trend", the script fills in the area between the VWAP and Price in the direction of trend.
When new highs or lows are made while in trend, the opposite VWAP will start to generate at the new highs or lows. These happen on every new high or low, so they are not indicating the trend shift, but could be interpreted as breakout levels for the current trend direction in order for continuation.
Note: All values are drawn live, but when using higher timeframes, there is a natural calculation discrepancy when using live data vs. historical.
> Technicals
In this script, I'm simply detecting new highs or lows from the DC and using those as the anchor frequency on the built-in VWAP function.
So each time a new high or low is made based on DC, the VWAP function re-anchors to the high or low of the candle.
Past that, I have implemented some logic in order to account for a common occurrence I faced during development.
Frequently, the price would outpace the anchored VWAP, so we would end up with the VWAP being further from price than the actual DC upper or lower.
Due to this, what I have ended up with was a third value which, rather than switching between raw VWAP values and DC values, it adjusts the value based on the change in the VWAP value.
This can be simply thought of as a "Start + Change" type of setup.
By doing this, I can use the change values from the actual anchored VWAP, and under normal conditions, this will also be the true VWAP value.
However, situationally, I am able to update the start value which we're applying the VWAP change to.
In other words, when these situations happen, the VWAP change is added to the new (closer to price) DC value.
The specific trend logic being used is nothing fancy at all, we are simply checking if a new high or low is created and setting the trend in that direction.
This is in line with some traditional DC Strategies.
To those who made it here,
Just remember:
The chart may be ugly, but it's the fastest analysis of the data you can get.
Nicer displays often come at the hidden cost of latency.
You have to shoot your shot to make it.
