YM Ultimate SNIPER v8.1# YM Ultimate SNIPER v8.1 - SNIPER STRICT EDITION
## 🎯 CHANGELOG: What's New in v8.1
### The Problem We Fixed
**GOD MODE was handing out awards like participation trophies.** Too many wicky, indecisive candles were getting GOD MODE status just because they had enough confluence points. A GOD MODE candle should show **CLEAR DOMINANCE** - fat body, minimal adverse wick, consistent pressure throughout formation.
---
## 🔥 MAJOR CHANGES
### 1. CANDLE DOMINANCE INDEX (CDI) - NEW METRIC
The CDI quantifies "who won the candle" on a 0-10 scale:
```
CDI COMPONENTS:
├── Body Score (0-4 pts): How fat is the body?
├── Adverse Wick Score (0-3 pts): How small is the wick against direction?
├── Favorable Wick Score (0-2 pts): Clean entry side?
└── Closing Strength (0-1 pt): Did it close near the extreme?
CDI RATINGS:
├── 8.0+ = 🔥 DOMINANT (ideal for GOD MODE)
├── 6.0-7.9 = ✓✓ STRONG
├── 4.0-5.9 = ✓ ACCEPTABLE
└── <4.0 = WEAK (not GOD MODE worthy)
```
### 2. STRICT GOD MODE GATES (6 GATES)
**Score alone no longer qualifies for GOD MODE.** Now a candle must pass ALL 6 gates:
| Gate | Requirement | Default |
|------|-------------|---------|
| **1. Score** | Must meet GOD MODE threshold | ≥9.0 |
| **2. Body** | Body ratio must be "fat" | ≥70% |
| **3. Adverse Wick** | Wick against direction must be small | ≤20% |
| **4. Delta** | Buy/sell dominance must be strong | ≥70% |
| **5. Session** | Must be in active session (configurable) | LDN/NY/PWR |
| **6. Pressure** | Intrabar pressure must be consistent | Same side dominated early AND late |
**If ANY gate fails, GOD MODE is DENIED** - even with a 10/10 score!
### 3. 30-BAR SIGNAL DISPLAY LIMIT
**Past signals are now hidden.** Only the last 30 bars show tier markers, sweeps, and absorption signals. This keeps the chart clean and focused on recent action.
```
WHAT'S HIDDEN AFTER 30 BARS:
├── Tier signals (S/A/B/Z)
├── GOD MODE markers
├── Liquidity sweep diamonds
├── Absorption crosses
└── Stop/Target lines
WHAT ALWAYS SHOWS:
├── FVG/IFVG zones (structural)
├── Order Blocks (structural)
├── Session markers (context)
└── Session background colors
```
**Configurable:** Change "Show Signals: Last N Bars" in settings (10-100)
### 4. PRESSURE CONSISTENCY TRACKING
New intrabar analysis that tracks if the **same side dominated throughout the candle**:
```
CANDLE FORMATION ANALYSIS:
├── First Half: Who dominated? (earlyBuyVol vs earlySellVol)
├── Second Half: Who dominated? (lateBuyVol vs lateSellVol)
└── Consistent? = Same side won BOTH halves
PRESSURE CONSISTENT = Buyers dominated early AND late
OR Sellers dominated early AND late
PRESSURE MIXED = Buyers dominated early, sellers late
OR Sellers dominated early, buyers late
```
**GOD MODE requires consistent pressure** when intrabar analysis is enabled.
### 5. GOD MODE DENIAL REASON IN TABLE
When a candle scores 9.0+ but fails a gate, the table now shows **WHY**:
```
DENIAL REASONS:
├── "DENIED: WICK" = Adverse wick too large (>20%)
├── "DENIED: DELTA" = Delta dominance too weak (<70%)
├── "DENIED: SESSION" = Not in active session
├── "DENIED: VOLUME" = Volume below 1.5x
└── "DENIED: PRESSURE" = Mixed pressure during formation
```
---
## 📊 NEW TABLE SECTIONS

## ⚙️ NEW SETTINGS
### CANDLE DOMINANCE (v8.1) Group
```
GOD MODE: Min Body Ratio = 0.70 (body must be 70%+ of range)
GOD MODE: Max Adverse Wick = 0.20 (wick against direction ≤20%)
GOD MODE: Min Delta Dominance = 0.70 (70%+ buy/sell dominance)
GOD MODE: Min Intrabar Delta = 0.68 (intrabar delta ≥68%)

```
### SIGNAL DISPLAY (v8.1) Group
```
Show Signals: Last N Bars = 30

```
---
## 🎯 PRACTICAL IMPACT
### Before v8.1 (Too Many False GOD MODE)
```
Candle: 35 point move, score 9.2, BUT:
- Body only 55% of range (thin)
- Upper wick 35% (buyers got pushed back hard)
- Intrabar showed mixed pressure
RESULT: GOD MODE ⚡ (WRONG!)
```
### After v8.1 (Strict GOD MODE)
```
Same candle: Score 9.2, but:
- Gate 2 FAILED: Body 55% < 70% required
- Gate 3 FAILED: Wick 35% > 20% allowed
- Gate 6 FAILED: Pressure inconsistent
RESULT: DENIED: WICK (Correct - this was a fake-out candle)
```
---
## 🏆 THE NEW GOD MODE STANDARD
A TRUE GOD MODE candle must show:
1. **HIGH SCORE** (≥9.0) - Multiple confluence factors aligned
2. **FAT BODY** (≥70%) - Clear directional commitment
3. **CLEAN WICKS** (≤20% adverse) - Minimal pushback
4. **STRONG DELTA** (≥70%) - One side clearly dominated
5. **IN SESSION** - Institutional participation
6. **CONSISTENT PRESSURE** - Same side controlled throughout
**Translation:** *"Institutions stepped in with size, pushed hard in one direction, and never let up. No hesitation, no give-back. This is a candle that means business."*
---
## 📈 YM/MYM OPTIMIZATION NOTES
The default settings are tuned for YM's characteristics:
- Lower volatility than NQ/GC/BTC → Tighter gates work better
- 50 pts for S-Tier is already conservative
- 70% body ratio filters out the indecisive noise
- Session requirement is crucial - YM moves on institutional flow
### Low Volume Conditions
The strict gates actually **help** in low volume:
- Wicky candles (common in low vol) get filtered
- Pressure consistency catches fake moves
- CDI prevents thin-body noise from triggering
---
## 🚀 QUICK START
1. Apply v8.1 to your 5-minute YM chart
2. Set intrabar to "1" (1-minute) or "100T" (tick)
3. Watch the CANDLE QUALITY section in the table
4. GOD MODE will now be RARE - but TRUSTWORTHY
5. Check the DENIAL reason if score is 9+ but no ⚡

Volumeanalysis
Volume Threshold Levels - Crypto LidyaVolume Threshold Levels – Crypto Lidya
Understanding volume behavior is one of the most effective ways to detect trend changes, manipulation candles, aggressive entries, and institutional activity.
Volume Threshold Levels (VTL) not only displays raw volume but also calculates dynamic volume thresholds (2x – 3x – 4x) based on the moving average, allowing you to identify statistically meaningful volume anomalies with precision.
📌 1. Volume Columns
The indicator plots each bar’s volume using traditional column-style visualization.
Green: Bullish candle
Red: Bearish candle
Gray: Neutral candle
This helps traders clearly understand the relationship between price and volume.
📌 2. Average Volume Area
VTL offers two types of moving averages for volume:
SMA (Simple Moving Average)
EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
The average volume is drawn as a soft yellow area across the chart.
This area acts as the baseline for normal volume levels.
📌 3. Dynamic Threshold Lines (2x / 3x / 4x)
The script calculates and displays multipliers of the average volume:
2x Average
3x Average
4x Average
These levels appear as bright yellow lines.
They are extremely useful for identifying breakouts, traps, and aggressive institutional entries.
📌 4. Volume Spike Detection (Alerts)
VTL identifies upward crossovers where volume breaks above key levels:
1x Volume Signal
2x Volume Signal
3x Volume Signal
4x Volume Signal
These can be used directly as TradingView alerts.
This allows you to automate detection of high-impact volume spikes.
📌 5. Use Cases
The indicator performs exceptionally well in:
Breakout confirmation
Liquidity sweep analysis
Detecting manipulation candles
Combining with OB, FVG, or other SMC structures
Scalping and low-timeframe aggressive volume interpretation
Algorithmic filters for volume-based strategies
📌 6. Summary
VTL delivers:
✔ Dynamic average volume baseline
✔ Clear 2x–3x–4x volume thresholds
✔ Accurate detection of upside volume explosions
✔ A strong tool for traders who rely on volume confirmation

Unlock the power of institutional-level volume analysis with the Price Volume Heatmap indicator. This sophisticated tool visualizes market structure through volume distribution across price levels, helping you identify key support/resistance zones, high-probability reversal areas, and optimal entry/exit points.
🎯 What Makes This Indicator Unique?
Unlike traditional volume indicators that only show volume over time, this heatmap displays volume distribution across price levels , revealing where the most significant trading activity occurred. The gradient coloring system instantly highlights high-volume nodes (areas of strong interest) and low-volume nodes (potential breakout zones).
📊 Core Features
1. Dynamic Volume Heatmap
- Visualizes volume concentration across 250 customizable price levels
- Gradient color scheme from high volume (white) to low volume (teal/green)
- Adjustable brightness multiplier for enhanced contrast and clarity
- Real-time updates as market conditions evolve
2. Point of Control (POC)
- Automatically identifies the price level with the highest traded volume
- Acts as a magnetic price level where markets often return
- Critical for identifying fair value areas and potential reversal zones
- Customizable line style, width, and color
3. Flexible Lookback Settings
- Lookback Bars: Set any value from 1-5000 bars to control analysis depth

- Never miss critical price action at high-volume nodes
📈 How to Use This Indicator Professionally
Understanding Market Structure:
High Volume Nodes (HVN):
- Appear as bright/white areas in the heatmap
- Represent price levels where significant trading occurred
- Act as strong support/resistance zones
- Markets often consolidate or bounce from these levels
- Trading Strategy: Look for entries when price tests HVN areas with confluence from other indicators
Low Volume Nodes (LVN):
- Appear as darker/teal areas in the heatmap
- Represent price levels with minimal trading activity
- Price tends to move quickly through these areas
- Often form "gaps" in the volume profile
- Trading Strategy: Expect rapid price movement through LVN zones; avoid placing stop losses here
Point of Control (POC):
- The single most important price level in your analysis window
- Represents the fairest price where maximum volume traded
- Price gravitates toward POC like a magnet
- Trading Strategy:
* When price is above POC: bullish bias, POC acts as support
* When price is below POC: bearish bias, POC acts as resistance
* POC breaks often lead to significant trend changes
Session-Based Analysis:
Use session separation to understand how different market participants trade:
Asian Session (Tokyo/Sydney):
- Typically lower volatility and range-bound
- Volume profiles often show tight, balanced distribution
- Use for identifying overnight ranges and gap fill zones
London Session:
- Highest volume session for forex pairs
- Often shows strong directional bias
- Look for breakouts from Asian ranges during London open
New York Session:
- Maximum participation when overlapping with London
- Institutional order flow most visible
- POC during NY session often becomes key level for following sessions
🎯 Practical Trading Applications
1. Identifying Support & Resistance:
High volume nodes from the heatmap are far more reliable than traditional swing highs/lows. When price approaches an HVN, expect reaction - either a bounce or a significant breakout if breached.
2. Trend Confirmation:
- Healthy uptrend: POC rising over time, HVN forming at higher levels
- Healthy downtrend: POC falling over time, HVN forming at lower levels
- Consolidation: POC relatively flat, volume balanced across range
3. Breakout Trading:
When price breaks through a Low Volume Node with momentum, it often continues to the next High Volume Node. Use LVN areas as measured move targets.
4. Reversal Zones:
Multiple HVN stacking on top of each other creates a "volume shelf" - an extremely strong support/resistance zone where reversals are highly probable.
5. Risk Management:
- Place stops beyond HVN areas (not within LVN zones)
- Size positions based on distance to nearest HVN
- Use POC as trailing stop level in trending markets
⚙️ Recommended Settings
For Day Trading (Scalping/Intraday):
- Lookback: 200-500 bars
- Rows: 200-250
- Enable session separation for your primary trading session
- Profile Width: Dynamic or Fixed Bars (30-50)
For Swing Trading:
- Lookback: 500-1000 bars
- Rows: 250
- Session separation: Daily Reset
- Profile Width: Dynamic
For Position Trading:
- Lookback: 1000-3000 bars
- Rows: 250
- Use timeframe-specific settings
- Profile Width: Extend Forward (20-50 bars)
💡 Pro Tips
1. Combine this indicator with price action analysis - volume confirms what price is telling you
2. Watch for POC convergence with other technical levels (fibonacci, pivot points, moving averages)
3. Volume at extremes (tops/bottoms of heatmap) often indicates exhaustion
4. Session POC from previous sessions often acts as magnet for current session
5. Increase brightness multiplier (1.5-2.5) for clearer visualization on busy charts
6. Use "Number of Sessions to Display" to analyze consistency of volume levels across multiple sessions
🎨 Customization
Fully customizable visual appearance:
- Gradient colors for volume visualization
- POC line thickness, color, and style
- Session line colors and visibility
- All settings organized in intuitive groups
⚠️ Disclaimer
This indicator is a technical analysis tool and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions. Always combine volume analysis with proper risk management, fundamental analysis, and other technical indicators. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Imbalance Volume Trend📌 Imbalance Volume Trend — Fair Value Gaps + Volume Imbalance + Trend Shifts
Imbalance Volume Trend is a price-action-driven indicator that automatically detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), measures the volume imbalance inside each gap, and builds a dynamic trend structure based on the sequence and strength of imbalances.
It visualizes the true power behind impulsive moves and provides early signals of potential trend reversals.
🔍 Core Concept
A Fair Value Gap appears when the market moves aggressively in one direction, leaving an “unfair” price zone caused by a strong imbalance between buyers and sellers.
These zones are often revisited by price, providing high-probability trading opportunities.
This indicator not only marks FVGs but also evaluates how strong the imbalance truly was by analyzing buy/sell volume dominance on the breakout candle.
📘 How the Indicator Works
1. Automatic Fair Value Gap Detection
The indicator scans for the classic 3-candle FVG pattern:
Bullish Imbalance
Candle 2 forms the bullish impulse.
A gap remains between the High of Candle 1 and the Low of Candle 3.
The indicator draws a bullish rectangle covering this area.
Bearish Imbalance
Candle 2 forms the bearish impulse.
A gap remains between the Low of Candle 1 and the High of Candle 3.
A bearish rectangle is drawn around the imbalance.
The breakout candle (the middle candle) forms the core of the imbalance and shows the directional expansion of price.
2. Volume Imbalance Percentage (%)
A unique feature of this tool is the calculation of buyer vs seller volume dominance inside each imbalance.
Can analyze lower-timeframe volumes or tick volumes.
The indicator computes how much buyers or sellers dominated during the formation of the FVG.
A colored percentage label appears near every imbalance, showing:
Buyer dominance % for bullish gaps
Seller dominance % for bearish gaps
This helps traders understand the strength of each imbalance.
Often, during late stages of a trend, the percentage value starts to weaken — giving early warning of trend exhaustion.
3. Imbalance-Based Trend Structure
Another powerful component is the Imbalance Trend Engine, which builds a trend direction using consecutive FVGs.
A trend continues as long as new imbalances form in the same direction.
A trend reversal is detected when:
A new imbalance appears in the opposite direction, and
Its body breaks through a specified level of the previous imbalance of the current trend.
When this event occurs, the indicator plots a colored arrow marking the change in Imbalance Trend.
This creates a clean and logical price-action trend model built entirely on institutional-style imbalances.
4. Alerts & Notifications
The indicator supports TradingView alerts for:

RSI Analytic Volume Matrix [RAVM] Overview
RSI Analytic Volume Matrix is an overlay indicator that turns classic RSI into a multi-layered market-reading engine. Instead of treating RSI 30 and 70 as simple buy/sell lines, RAVM combines RSI geometry (angle and acceleration), statistical volume analysis, and a 5×5 VSA-inspired matrix to describe what is really happening inside each candle.
The script is designed as an educational and analytical tool. It does not generate trading signals. Instead, it helps you read the market context, understand where the pressure is coming from (buyers vs. sellers), and see how price, momentum, and volume interact in real time.
Concept & Philosophy
RAVM is built around a hierarchical logic and a few core ideas:
• Hierarchical State Machine: First, RSI defines a context (where we are in the 0–100 range). Then the geometric engine evaluates the angle-of-turn of RSI using a Z-Score. Only after a meaningful geometric event is detected does the system promote a bar to a potential setup (warning vs. confirmed).
• Geometric Primacy: The angle and acceleration of RSI (RSI geometry) are more important than the raw RSI level itself. RAVM uses a geometric veto: if the geometric trigger is not confirmed, the confidence score is capped below 50%, even if volume looks interesting.
• RSI Beyond 30 and 70: Being above 70 or below 30 is not treated as an automatic overbought/oversold signal. RAVM treats those zones as contextual factors that contribute only a partial portion of the final score, alongside geometry, total volume expansion, buy/sell balance, and delta power.
• Volume Decomposition: Volume is decomposed into total, buy-side, sell-side, and delta components. Each of these is normalized with a Z-Score over a shared statistical window, so RSI geometry and volume live in the same statistical context.
• Educational Scoring Pipeline: RAVM builds a 0–100 "Quantum Score" for each detected setup. The score expresses how strong the story is across four dimensions: geometry (RSI angle-of-turn), total volume expansion, which side is driving that volume (buyers vs. sellers), and the power of delta. The score is designed for learning and weighting, not for mechanical trade entries.
• VSA Matrix Engine: A 5×5 matrix combines momentum states and volume dynamics. Each cell corresponds to an interpreted VSA-style scenario (Absorption, Distribution, No Demand, Stopping Volume, Strong Reversal, etc.), shown both as text and as a heatmap dashboard on the chart.
How RAVM Works
1. RSI Context & Geometry
RAVM starts with a classic RSI, but it does not stop at simple level checks. It computes the velocity and acceleration of RSI and normalizes them via a Z-Score to produce an Angle-of-Turn metric (Z-AoT). This Z-AoT is then mapped into a 0–1 intensity value called MSI (Momentum Shift Intensity).
The script monitors both classic RSI zones (around 30 and 70) and geometric triggers. Entering the lower or upper zone is treated as a contextual event only. A setup becomes "confirmed" when a significant geometric turn is detected (based on Z-AoT thresholds). Otherwise, the bar is at most a warning.
2. Volume & Statistical Engine
The volume engine can work in two modes: a geometric approximation (based on candle structure) or a more precise intrabar mode using up/down volume requests. In both cases, RAVM builds a volume packet consisting of:
• Total volume
• Buy-side volume
• Sell-side volume
• Delta (buy – sell)
Each of these series is normalized using a Z-Score over the same statistical window that is used for RSI geometry. This allows RAVM to answer questions such as: Is total volume exceptional on this bar? Is the expansion mostly coming from buyers or from sellers? Is delta unusually strong or weak compared to recent history?
3. Scoring System (Quantum Score)
For each bar where a setup is active, RAVM computes a 0–100 score intended as an educational confidence measure. The scoring pipeline follows this sequence:
A. RSI Geometry (MSI): Measures the strength of the RSI angle-of-turn via Z-AoT. This has geometric primacy over simple level checks.
B. RSI Zone Context: Being below 30 or above 70 contributes only a partial bonus to the score, reflecting the idea that these zones are context, not automatic signals. Mildly supportive zones (e.g., RSI below 50 for bullish contexts) can also contribute with lower weight.
C. Total Volume Expansion: A normalized Volume Power term expresses how exceptional the total volume is relative to its recent distribution. If there is no meaningful volume expansion, the score remains modest even if RSI geometry looks interesting.
D. Which Side Is Driving the Volume: RAVM then checks whether the expansion is primarily on the buy side or the sell side, using Z-Score statistics for buy and sell volume separately. This stage does not yet rely on delta as a power metric; it simply answers the question: "Is this expansion mostly driven by buyers, sellers, or both?"
E. Delta as Final Power: Only at the final stage does the script bring in delta and its Z-Score as a measure of how one-sided the pressure really is. A strong negative delta during a bullish context, for example, can highlight absorption, while a strong positive delta against a bearish context can highlight distribution or a buying climax.
If a setup is not geometrically confirmed (for example, a simple entry into RSI 30/70 without a strong geometric turn), RAVM caps the final score below 50%. This "Geometric Veto" enforces the idea that RSI geometry must confirm before a scenario can be considered high-confidence.
4. Overlay UI & Smart Labels
RAVM is an overlay indicator: all information is drawn directly on the price chart, not in a separate pane. When a setup is active, a smart label is attached to the bar, together with a vertical connector line. Each label shows:
• Direction of the setup (bullish or bearish)
• Trigger type (classic OS/OB vs. geometric/hidden)
• Status (warning vs. confirmed)
• Quantum Score as a percentage
Confirmed setups use stronger colors and solid connectors, while warnings use softer colors and dotted connectors. The script also manages label placement to avoid overlap, keeping the chart clean and readable.
In addition to labels, a dashboard table is drawn on the chart. It displays the currently active matrix scenario, the dominant bias, a short textual interpretation, the full 5×5 heatmap, and summary metrics such as RSI, MSI, and Volume Power.
RSI Is Not Just 30 and 70
One of the central design decisions in RAVM is to treat RSI 30 and 70 as context, not as fixed buy/sell buttons. Many traders mechanically assume that RSI below 30 means "buy" and RSI above 70 means "sell". RAVM explicitly rejects this simplification.
Instead, the script asks a series of deeper questions: How sharp is the angle-of-turn of RSI right now? Is total volume expanding or contracting? Is that expansion dominated by buyers or sellers? Is delta confirming the move, or is there a hidden absorption or distribution taking place?
In the scoring logic, being in a lower or upper RSI zone contributes only part of the final score. Geometry, volume expansion, the buy/sell split, and delta power all have to align before a high-confidence scenario emerges. This makes RAVM much closer to a structured market-reading tool than a classic overbought/oversold indicator.
Matrix User Manual – Reading the 5×5 Grid
The heart of RAVM is its 5×5 matrix, where the vertical axis represents momentum states (M1–M5) and the horizontal axis represents volume dynamics (V1–V5). Each cell in this grid corresponds to a VSA-style scenario. The dashboard highlights the currently active cell and prints a textual description so you can read the story at a glance.
1. Confirmation Scenarios
These scenarios occur when momentum direction and volume expansion are aligned:
• Bullish Confirmation / Strong Reversal: Momentum is shifting strongly upward (often from a depressed RSI context), and expanded volume is driven mainly by buyers. Often seen as a strong bullish reversal or continuation signal from a VSA perspective.
• Bearish Confirmation / Strong Drop: Momentum is turning decisively downward, and expanded volume is driven mainly by sellers. This maps to strong bearish continuation or sharp reversal patterns.
2. Absorption & Stopping Volume
• Absorption: Total volume expands, but the dominant flow is opposite to the recent price move or the geometric bias. For example, heavy selling volume while the geometric context is bullish. This can indicate smart money quietly absorbing orders from the crowd.
• Stopping Volume: Exceptionally high volume appears near the end of an extended move, while momentum begins to decelerate. Price may still print new extremes, but the effort vs. result relationship signals potential exhaustion and the possibility of a turn.
3. Distribution & Buying Climax
• Distribution: Heavy buying volume appears within a bearish or topping context. Rather than healthy accumulation, this often represents larger players offloading inventory to late buyers. The matrix will typically flag this as a bearish-leaning scenario despite strong upside prints.
• Buying Climax: A surge of buy-side volume near the end of a strong uptrend, with momentum starting to weaken. From a VSA point of view, this is often the last push where retail aggressively buys what smart money is selling.
4. No Demand & No Supply
• No Demand: Price attempts to rise but does so on low, non-expansive volume. The market is not interested in following the move, and the lack of participation often precedes weakness or sideways action.
• No Supply: Price tries to push lower on thin volume. Selling pressure is limited, and the lack of supply can precede stabilization or recovery if buyers step back in.
5. Trend Exhaustion
• Uptrend Exhaustion: Momentum remains nominally bullish, but the quality of volume deteriorates (e.g., more effort, less net result). The matrix marks this as an uptrend losing internal strength, often after a series of aggressive moves.
• Downtrend Exhaustion: Similar logic in the opposite direction: strong prior downtrend, but increasingly inefficient downside progress relative to the volume invested. This can precede accumulation or a relief rally.
6. Effort vs. Result Scenarios
• Bullish Effort, Little Result: Buyers invest notable volume, but price progress is limited. This may reveal hidden selling into strength or a lack of follow-through from the broader market.
• Bearish Effort, Little Result: Sellers push volume, but price does not decline proportionally. This can indicate absorption of selling pressure and potential underlying demand.
7. Neutral, Churn & Thin Markets
• Neutral / Thin Market: Momentum and volume both remain muted. RAVM marks these as neutral cells where aggressive decision-making is usually less attractive and observing the broader structure is more important.
• High Volume Churn / Volatility: Both sides are active with high volume but limited directional progress. This can correspond to battle zones, local ranges, or high volatility rotations where the main message is conflict rather than clear trend.
Inputs & Options
RAVM includes several input groups to adapt the tool to your preferences:
• Localization: Multiple language options for all labels and dashboard text (e.g., English, Farsi, Turkish, Russian).
• RSI Core Settings: RSI length, source, and upper/lower contextual zones (typically around 30 and 70).
• Geometric Engine: Z-AoT sigma thresholds, confirmation ratios, and normalization window multiplier. These control how sensitive the script is to RSI angle-of-turn events.
• Volume Engine: Choice between geometric approximation and intrabar up/down volume, Z-Score thresholds for volume expansion, and related parameters.
• Visual Interface: Toggles for smart labels, dashboard table, font sizes, dashboard position, and color themes for bullish, bearish, and warning states.

RVol based Support & Resistance ZonesDescription:
This indicator is designed to help traders identify significant price levels based on institutional volume. It monitors two higher timeframes (defined by the user) simultaneously. When a candle on these higher timeframes exhibits unusually high volume—known as high Relative Volume (RVol)—the indicator automatically draws a "Zone of Interest" box on your current chart.
These zones are defined by:
Up candle : from candle open to low of candle
Down candle : from candle open to high of candle
Key Features:
Multi-Timeframe Monitoring: You can trade on a lower timeframe (e.g., 5-minute) while the indicator monitors the 30-minute and 1-hour charts for volume spikes.
RVol Boxes: Automatically draws boxes extending from high-volume candles.
Up Candles: Box covers Low to Open.
Down Candles: Box covers High to Open.
Live Dashboard: A neat, color-coded table displays the current Volume, Average Volume, and RVol percentage for your watched timeframes.
Real-Time vs. Confirmed: Choose whether to see boxes appear immediately as volume spikes (Live) or only after the candle has closed and confirmed the volume (Candle Close).
Settings Guide:
1. General Settings
Relative Volume Length: The number of past candles used to calculate the "Average Volume." (Default is 20).
Max Days Back to Draw: To keep your chart clean, this limits how far back in history the script looks for high-volume zones. (e.g., set to 5 to only see zones created in the last 5 days).
Draw Mode:
- Live (Real-time): Draws the box immediately if the current developing candle hits the volume threshold. (Note: The box may disappear if the volume average shifts before the candle closes).
- Candle Close: The box only appears once the candle has finished and permanently confirmed the volume spike.
2. Table Settings
Show Info Table: Toggles the dashboard on or off.
Text Size & Position: Customise where the table appears on your screen and how large the text is.
Colours: Fully customisable colours for the Table Header (Top row) and Data Rows (Bottom rows).
3. Timeframe 1 & 2 Settings
You have two identical sections to configure two different timeframes (e.g., 30m and 1H).
Timeframe: The chart interval to monitor (e.g., "30" for 30 minutes, "60" for 1 Hour, "240" for 4 Hours).
Threshold %: The "Trigger" for drawing a box based on relative candle volume in that timeframe.
Example:
100% = Candle Volume is equal to the average volume for the specified timeframe.
200% = Candle Volume is 2x the average volume for the specified timeframe.
300% = Candle Volume is 3x the average volume for the specified timeframe.
Box & Edge Colour: Distinct colours for each timeframe so you can easily tell which timeframe created the zone.

🎓 UNDERSTANDING THE INDICATOR
What are Institutional Zones?
Areas where large players (institutions, market makers, smart money) have entered positions and actively defend them. These show up as:
High volume rejection wicks
Multiple tests that hold
Clear buying/selling pressure imbalance
Why Confluence Scoring?
Not all zones are equal. The 0-100 scoring system helps you quickly identify which zones have the most confirmation factors aligned, saving time and improving trade selection.
Why Zone Spacing Matters
Too many overlapping zones create analysis paralysis. The spacing filter ensures you see only distinct, meaningful levels.

VMDM - Volume, Momentum & Divergence Master [BullByte]VMDM - Volume, Momentum and Divergence Master
Educational Multi-Layer Market Structure Analysis System
Multi-factor divergence engine that scores RSI momentum, volume pressure, and institutional footprints into one non-repainting confluence rating (0-100).
WHAT THIS INDICATOR IS
VMDM is an educational indicator designed to teach traders how to recognize high-probability reversal and continuation patterns by analyzing four independent market dimensions simultaneously. Instead of relying on a single indicator that may produce frequent false signals, VMDM creates a confluence-based scoring system that weights multiple confirmation factors, helping you understand which setups have stronger technical backing and which are lower quality.
This is NOT a trading system or signal generator. It is a learning tool that visualizes complex market structure concepts in an accessible format for both coders and non-coders.
THE PROBLEM IT SOLVES
Most traders face these common challenges:
Challenge 1 - Indicator Overload: Running RSI, volume analysis, and divergence detection separately creates chart clutter and conflicting signals. You waste time cross-referencing multiple windows trying to determine if all factors align.
Challenge 2 - False Divergences: Standard divergence indicators trigger on every minor pivot, creating noise. Many divergences fail because they lack supporting evidence from volume or market structure.
Challenge 3 - Missed Context: A bullish RSI divergence means nothing if it occurs during weak volume or in the middle of strong distribution. Context determines quality.
Challenge 4 - Repainting Confusion: Many divergence scripts repaint, showing perfect historical signals that never actually triggered in real-time, leading to false confidence.
Challenge 5 - Institutional Pattern Recognition: Absorption zones, stop hunts, and exhaustion patterns are taught in trading education but difficult to identify systematically without manual analysis.
VMDM addresses all five challenges by combining complementary analytical layers into one transparent, non-repainting, confluence-weighted system with visual clarity.
WHY THIS SPECIFIC COMBINATION - MASHUP JUSTIFICATION
This indicator is NOT a random mashup of popular indicators. Each of the four layers serves a specific analytical purpose and together they create a complete market structure assessment framework.
THE FOUR ANALYTICAL LAYERS
LAYER 1 - RSI MOMENTUM DIVERGENCE (Trend Exhaustion Detection)
Purpose: Identifies when price momentum is weakening before price itself reverses.
Why RSI: The Relative Strength Index measures momentum on a bounded 0-100 scale, making divergence detection mathematically consistent across all assets and timeframes. Unlike raw price oscillators, RSI normalizes momentum regardless of volatility regime.
How It Contributes: Divergence between price pivots and RSI pivots reveals early momentum exhaustion. A lower price low with a higher RSI low (bullish regular divergence) signals sellers are losing strength even as price makes new lows. This is the PRIMARY signal generator in VMDM.
Limitation If Used Alone: RSI divergence by itself produces many false signals because momentum can remain weak during continued trends. It needs confirmation from volume and structural evidence.
LAYER 2 - VOLUME PRESSURE ANALYSIS (Buying vs Selling Intensity)
Purpose: Quantifies whether the current bar's volume reflects buying pressure or selling pressure based on where price closed within the bar's range.
Methodology: Instead of just measuring volume size, VMDM calculates WHERE in the bar range the close occurred. A close near the high on high volume indicates strong buying absorption. A close near the low indicates selling pressure. The calculation accounts for wick size (wicks reduce pressure quality) and uses percentile ranking over a lookback period to normalize pressure strength on a 0-100 scale.
Formula Concept:
Buy Pressure = Volume × (Close - Low) / (High - Low) × Wick Quality Factor
Sell Pressure = Volume × (High - Close) / (High - Low) × Wick Quality Factor
Net Pressure = Buy Pressure - Sell Pressure
Pressure Strength = Percentile Rank of Net Pressure over lookback period
Why Percentile Ranking: Absolute volume varies by asset and session. Percentile ranking makes 85th percentile pressure on low-volume crypto comparable to 85th percentile pressure on high-volume forex.
How It Contributes: When a bullish divergence occurs at a pivot low AND pressure strength is above 60 (strong buying), this adds 25 confluence points. It confirms that the divergence is occurring during actual accumulation, not just weak selling.
Limitation If Used Alone: Pressure analysis shows current bar intensity but cannot identify trend exhaustion or reversal timing. High buying pressure can exist during a strong uptrend with no reversal imminent.
LAYER 3 - BEHAVIORAL FOOTPRINT PATTERNS (Volume Anomaly Detection)
CRITICAL DISCLAIMER: The terms "institutional footprint," "absorption," "stop hunt," and "exhaustion" used in this indicator are EDUCATIONAL LABELS for specific price and volume behavioral patterns. These patterns are detected through technical analysis of publicly available price, volume, and bar structure data. This indicator does NOT have access to actual institutional order flow, market maker data, broker stop-loss locations, or any non-public data source. These pattern names are used because they are common terminology in trading education to describe these technical behaviors. The analysis is interpretive and based on observable price action, not privileged information.
Purpose: Detect volume anomalies and price patterns that historically correlate with potential reversal zones or trend continuation failure.
Pattern Type 1 - Absorption (Labeled as "ACCUMULATION" or "DISTRIBUTION")
Detection Criteria: Volume is more than 2x the moving average AND bar range is less than 50 percent of the average bar range.
Interpretation: High volume compressed into a tight range suggests large participants are absorbing supply (accumulation) or distribution (distribution) without allowing price to move significantly. This often precedes directional moves once absorption completes.
Visual: Colored box zone highlighting the absorption area.
Pattern Type 2 - Stop Hunt (Labeled as "BULL HUNT" or "BEAR HUNT")
Detection Criteria: Price penetrates a recent 10-bar high or low by a small margin (0.2 percent), then closes back inside the range on above-average volume (1.5x+).
Interpretation: Price briefly spikes beyond recent structure (likely triggering stop losses placed just beyond obvious levels) then reverses. This is a classic false breakout pattern often seen before reversals.
Visual: Label at the wick extreme showing hunt direction.
Pattern Type 3 - Exhaustion (Labeled as "SELL EXHAUST" or "BUY EXHAUST")
Detection Criteria: Lower wick is more than 2.5x the body size with volume above 1.8x average and RSI below 35 (sell exhaustion), OR upper wick more than 2.5x body size with volume above 1.8x average and RSI above 65 (buy exhaustion).
Interpretation: Large wicks with high volume and extreme RSI suggest aggressive buying or selling was met with equally aggressive rejection. This exhaustion often marks short-term extremes.
Visual: Label showing exhaustion type.
How These Contribute: When a divergence forms at a pivot AND one of these behavioral patterns is active, the confluence score increases by 20 points. This confirms the divergence is occurring during structural anomaly activity, not just normal price flow.
Limitation If Used Alone: These patterns can occur mid-trend and do not indicate direction without momentum context. Absorption in a strong uptrend may just be continuation accumulation.
LAYER 4 - CONFLUENCE SCORING MATRIX (Quality Weighting System)
Purpose: Translate all detected conditions into a single 0-100 quality score so you can objectively compare setups.
Scoring Breakdown:
Divergence Present: +30 points (primary signal)
Pressure Confirmation: +25 points (volume supports direction)
Behavioral Footprint Active: +20 points (structural anomaly present)
RSI Extreme: +15 points (RSI below 30 or above 70 at pivot)
Volume Spike: +10 points (current volume above 1.5x average)
Maximum Possible Score: 100 points
Why These Weights: The weights reflect reliability hierarchy based on backtesting observation. Divergence is the core signal (30 points), but without volume confirmation (25 points) many fail. Behavioral patterns add meaningful context (20 points). RSI extremes and volume spikes are secondary confirmations (15 and 10 points).
Quality Tiers:
90-100: TEXTBOOK (all factors aligned)
75-89: HIGH QUALITY (strong confluence)
60-74: VALID (meets minimum threshold)
Below 60: DEVELOPING (not displayed unless threshold lowered)
How It Contributes: The confluence score allows you to filter noise. You can set your minimum quality threshold in settings. Higher thresholds (75+) show fewer but higher-quality patterns. Lower thresholds (50-60) show more patterns but include lower-confidence setups. This teaches you to distinguish strong setups from weak ones.
Limitation: Confluence scoring is historical observation-based, not predictive guarantee. A 95-point setup can still fail. The score represents technical alignment, not future certainty.
WHY THIS COMBINATION WORKS TOGETHER
Each layer addresses a limitation in the others:
RSI Divergence identifies WHEN momentum is exhausting (timing)
Volume Pressure confirms WHETHER the exhaustion is accompanied by opposite-side accumulation (confirmation)
Behavioral Footprint shows IF structural anomalies support the reversal hypothesis (context)
Confluence Scoring weights ALL factors into an objective quality metric (filtering)
Using only RSI divergence gives you timing without confirmation. Using only volume pressure gives you intensity without directional context. Using only pattern detection gives you anomalies without trend exhaustion context. Using all four together creates a complete analytical framework where each layer compensates for the others' weaknesses.
This is not a mashup for the sake of combining indicators. It is a structured analytical system where each component has a defined role in a multi-dimensional market assessment process.
HOW TO READ THE INDICATOR - VISUAL ELEMENTS GUIDE
VMDM displays up to five visual layer types. You can enable or disable each layer independently in settings under "Visual Layers."
VISUAL LAYER 1 - MARKET STRUCTURE (Pivot Points and Lines)
What You See:
Small labels at swing highs and lows marked "PH" (Pivot High) and "PL" (Pivot Low) with horizontal dashed lines extending right from each pivot.
What It Means:
These are CONFIRMED pivots, not real-time. A pivot low appears AFTER the required right-side confirmation bars pass (default 3 bars). This creates a delay but prevents repainting. The pivot only appears once it is mathematically confirmed.
The horizontal lines represent support (from pivot lows) and resistance (from pivot highs) levels where price previously found significant rejection.
Color Coding:
Green label and line: Pivot Low (potential support)
Red label and line: Pivot High (potential resistance)
How To Use:
These pivots are the foundation for divergence detection. Divergence is only calculated between confirmed pivots, ensuring all signals are non-repainting. The lines help you see historical structure levels.
VISUAL LAYER 2 - PRESSURE ZONES (Background Color)
What You See:
Subtle background color shading on bars - light green or light red tint.
What It Means:
This visualizes volume pressure strength in real-time.
Color Coding:
Light Green Background: Pressure Strength above 70 (strong buying pressure - price closing near highs on volume)
Light Red Background: Pressure Strength below 30 (strong selling pressure - price closing near lows on volume)
No Color: Neutral pressure (pressure between 30-70)
How To Use:
When a bullish divergence pattern appears during green pressure zones, it suggests the divergence is forming during accumulation. When a bearish divergence appears during red zones, distribution is occurring. Pressure zones help you filter divergences - those forming in supportive pressure environments have higher probability.
VISUAL LAYER 3 - DIVERGENCE LINES (Dotted Connectors)
What You See:
Dotted lines connecting two pivot points (either two pivot lows or two pivot highs).
What It Means:
A divergence has been detected between those two pivots. The line connects the price pivots where RSI showed opposite behavior.
Color Coding:
Bright Green Line: Bullish divergence (regular or hidden)
Bright Red Line: Bearish divergence (regular or hidden)
How To Use:
The divergence line appears ONLY after the second pivot is confirmed (delayed by right-side confirmation bars). This is intentional to prevent repainting. When you see the line appear, it means:
For Bullish Regular Divergence:
Price made a lower low (second pivot lower than first)
RSI made a higher low (RSI at second pivot higher than first)
Interpretation: Downtrend losing momentum
For Bullish Hidden Divergence:
Price made a higher low (second pivot higher than first)
RSI made a lower low (RSI at second pivot lower than first)
Interpretation: Uptrend continuation likely (pullback within uptrend)
For Bearish Regular Divergence:
Price made a higher high (second pivot higher than first)
RSI made a lower high (RSI at second pivot lower than first)
Interpretation: Uptrend losing momentum
For Bearish Hidden Divergence:
Price made a lower high (second pivot lower than first)
RSI made a higher high (RSI at second pivot higher than first)
Interpretation: Downtrend continuation likely (bounce within downtrend)
If "Show Consolidated Analysis Label" is disabled, a small label will appear on the divergence line showing the divergence type abbreviation.
VISUAL LAYER 4 - BEHAVIORAL FOOTPRINT MARKERS
What You See:
Boxes, labels, and markers at specific bars showing pattern detection.
ABSORPTION ZONES (Boxes):
Colored rectangular boxes spanning one or more bars.
Purple Box: Accumulation absorption zone (high volume, tight range, bullish close)
Red Box: Distribution absorption zone (high volume, tight range, bearish close)
If absorption continues for multiple consecutive bars, the box extends and a counter appears in the label showing how many bars the absorption lasted.
What It Means: Large volume is being absorbed without significant price movement. This often precedes directional breakouts once the absorption phase completes.
STOP HUNT MARKERS (Labels):
Small labels below or above wicks labeled "BULL HUNT" or "BEAR HUNT" (may show bar count if consecutive).
What It Means:
BULL HUNT : Price spiked below recent lows then reversed back up on volume - likely triggered sell stops before reversing
BEAR HUNT : Price spiked above recent highs then reversed back down on volume - likely triggered buy stops before reversing
EXHAUSTION MARKERS (Labels):
Labels showing "SELL EXHAUST" or "BUY EXHAUST."
What It Means:
SELL EXHAUST : Large lower wick with high volume and low RSI - aggressive selling met with strong rejection
BUY EXHAUST : Large upper wick with high volume and high RSI - aggressive buying met with strong rejection
How To Use:
These markers help you identify WHERE structural anomalies occurred. When a divergence signal appears AT THE SAME TIME as one of these patterns, the confluence score increases. You are looking for alignment - divergence + behavioral pattern + pressure confirmation = high-quality setup.
VISUAL LAYER 5 - CONSOLIDATED ANALYSIS LABEL (Main Pattern Signal)
What You See:
A large label appearing at pivot points (or in real-time mode, at current bar) containing full pattern analysis.
Label Appearance:
Depending on your "Use Compact Label Format" setting:
COMPACT MODE (Single Line):
Example: "BULLISH REGULAR | Q:HIGH QUALITY C:82"
Breakdown:
BULLISH REGULAR: Divergence type detected
Q:HIGH QUALITY: Pattern quality tier
C:82: Confluence score (82 out of 100)
FULL MODE (Multi-Line Detailed):
Example:
PATTERN DETECTED
-------------------
BULLISH REGULAR
Quality: HIGH QUALITY
Price: Lower Low
Momentum: Higher Low
Signal: Weakening Downtrend
CONFLUENCE: 82/100
-------------------
Divergence: 30
Pressure: 25
Institutional: 20
RSI Extreme: 0
Volume: 10
Breakdown:
Top section: Pattern type and quality
Middle section: Divergence explanation (what price did vs what RSI did)
Bottom section: Confluence score with itemized breakdown showing which factors contributed
Label Position:
In Confirmed modes: Label appears AT the pivot point (delayed by confirmation bars)
In Real-time mode: Label appears at current bar as conditions develop
Label Color:
Gold: Textbook quality (90+ confluence)
Green: High quality (75-89 confluence)
Blue: Valid quality (60-74 confluence)
How To Use:
This is your primary decision-making label. When it appears:
Check the divergence type (regular divergences are reversal signals, hidden divergences are continuation signals)
Review the quality tier (textbook and high quality have better historical win rates)
Examine the confluence breakdown to see which factors are present and which are missing
Look at the chart context (trend, support/resistance, timeframe)
Use this information to assess whether the setup aligns with your strategy
The label does NOT tell you to buy or sell. It tells you a technical pattern has formed and provides the quality assessment. Your trading decision must incorporate risk management, market context, and your strategy rules.
UNDERSTANDING THE THREE DETECTION MODES
VMDM offers three signal detection modes in settings to accommodate different trading styles and learning objectives.
MODE 1: "Confluence Only (Real-Time)"
How It Works: Displays signals AS THEY DEVELOP on the current bar without waiting for pivot confirmation. The system calculates confluence score from pressure, volume, RSI extremes, and behavioral patterns. Divergence signals are NOT required in this mode.
Delay: ZERO - signals appear immediately.
Use Case: Real-time scanning for high-confluence zones without divergence requirement. Useful for intraday traders who want immediate alerts when multiple factors align.
Tradeoff: More frequent signals but includes setups without confirmed divergence. Higher false signal rate. Signals can change as the bar develops (not repainting in historical bars, but current bar updates).
Visual Behavior: Labels appear at the current bar. No divergence lines unless divergence happens to be present.
MODE 2: "Divergence + Confluence (Confirmed)" - DEFAULT RECOMMENDED
How It Works: Full system engagement. Signals appear ONLY when:
A pivot is confirmed (requires right-side confirmation bars to pass)
Divergence is detected between current pivot and previous pivot
Total confluence score meets or exceeds your minimum threshold
Delay: Equal to your "Pivot Right Bars" setting (default 3 bars). This means signals appear 3 bars AFTER the actual pivot formed.
Use Case: Highest-quality, non-repainting signals for swing traders and learners who want to study confirmed pattern completion.
Tradeoff: Delayed signals. You will not receive the signal until confirmation occurs. In fast-moving markets, price may have already moved significantly by the time the signal appears.
Visual Behavior: Labels appear at the historical pivot location (in the past). Divergence lines connect the two pivots. This is the most educational mode because it shows completed, confirmed patterns.
Non-Repainting Guarantee: Yes. Once a signal appears, it never disappears or changes.
MODE 3: "Divergence + Confluence (Relaxed)"
How It Works: Same as Confirmed mode but with adaptive thresholds. If confluence is very high (10 points above threshold), the signal may appear even if some factors are weak. If divergence is present but confluence is slightly below threshold (within 10 points), it may still appear.
Delay: Same as Confirmed mode (right-side confirmation bars).
Use Case: Slightly more signals than Confirmed mode for traders willing to accept near-threshold setups.
Tradeoff: More signals but lower average quality than Confirmed mode.
Visual Behavior: Same as Confirmed mode.
DASHBOARD GUIDE - READING THE METRICS
The dashboard appears in the corner of your chart (position selectable in settings) and provides real-time market state analysis.
You can choose between four dashboard detail levels in settings: Off, Compact, Optimized (default), Full.
DASHBOARD ROW EXPLANATIONS
ROW 1 - Header Information
Left: Current symbol and timeframe
Center: "VMDM "
Right: Version number
ROW 2 - Mode and Delay
Shows which detection mode you are using and the signal delay.
Example: "CONFIRMED | Delay: 3 bars"
This reminds you that signals in confirmed mode appear 3 bars after the pivot forms.
ROW 3 - Market Regime
Format: "TREND UP HV" or "RANGING NV"
First Part - Trend State:
TREND UP: 20 EMA above 50 EMA with strong separation
TREND DOWN: 20 EMA below 50 EMA with strong separation
RANGING: EMAs close together, low trend strength
TRANSITION: Between trending and ranging states
Second Part - Volatility State:
HV: High Volatility (current ATR more than 1.3x the 50-bar average ATR)
NV: Normal Volatility (current ATR between 0.7x and 1.3x average)
LV: Low Volatility (current ATR less than 0.7x average)
Third Column: Volatility ratio (example: "1.45x" means current ATR is 1.45 times normal)
How To Use: Regime context helps you interpret signals. Reversal divergences are more reliable in ranging or transitional regimes. Continuation divergences (hidden) are more reliable in trending regimes. High volatility means wider stops may be needed.
ROW 4 - Pressure
Shows current volume pressure state.
Format: "BUYING | ██████████░░░░░░░░░"
States:
BUYING : Pressure strength above 60 (closes near highs)
SELLING : Pressure strength below 40 (closes near lows)
NEUTRAL : Pressure strength between 40-60
Bar Visualization: Each block represents 10 percentile points. A full bar (10 filled blocks) = 100th percentile pressure.
Color: Green for buying, red for selling, gray for neutral.
How To Use: When pressure aligns with divergence direction (bullish divergence during buying pressure), confluence is stronger.
ROW 5 - Volume and RSI
Format: "1.8x | RSI 68 | OB"
First Value: Current volume ratio (1.8x = volume is 1.8 times the moving average)
Second Value: Current RSI reading
Third Value: RSI state
OB: Overbought (RSI above 70)
OS: Oversold (RSI below 30)
Blank: Neutral RSI
How To Use: Volume spikes (above 1.5x) during divergence formation add confluence. RSI extremes at pivots add confluence.
ROW 6 - Behavioral Footprint
Format: "BULL HUNT | 2 bars"
Shows the most recent behavioral pattern detected and how long ago.
States:
ACCUMULATION / DISTRIBUTION: Absorption detected
BULL HUNT / BEAR HUNT: Stop hunt detected
SELL EXHAUST / BUY EXHAUST: Exhaustion detected
SCANNING: No recent pattern
NOW: Pattern is active on current bar
How To Use: When footprint activity is recent (within 50 bars) or active now, it adds context to divergence signals forming in that area.
ROW 7 - Current Pattern
Shows the divergence type currently detected (if any).
Examples: "BULLISH REGULAR", "BEARISH HIDDEN", "Scanning..."
Quality: Shows pattern quality (TEXTBOOK, HIGH QUALITY, VALID)
How To Use: This tells you what type of signal is active. Regular divergences are reversal setups. Hidden divergences are continuation setups.
ROW 8 - Session Summary
Format: "14 events | A3 H8 E3"
First Value: Total institutional events this session
Breakdown:
A: Absorption events
H: Stop hunt events
E: Exhaustion events
How To Use: High event counts suggest an active, volatile session with frequent structural anomalies. Low counts suggest quiet, orderly price action.
ROW 9 - Confluence Score (Optimized/Full mode only)
Format: "78/100 | ████████░░"
Shows current real-time confluence score even if no pattern is confirmed yet.
How To Use: Watch this in real-time to see how close you are to pattern formation. When it exceeds your threshold and divergence forms, a signal will appear (after confirmation delay).
ROW 10 - Patterns Studied (Optimized/Full mode only)
Format: "47 patterns | 12 bars ago"
First Value: Total confirmed patterns detected since chart loaded
Second Value: How many bars since the last confirmed pattern appeared
How To Use: Helps you understand pattern frequency on your selected symbol and timeframe. If many bars have passed since last pattern, market may be trending without reversal opportunities.
ROW 11 - Bull/Bear Ratio (Optimized/Full mode only)
Format: "28:19 | BULL"
Shows count of bullish vs bearish patterns detected.
Balance:
BULL: More bullish patterns detected (suggests market has had more bullish reversals/continuations)
BEAR: More bearish patterns detected
BAL: Equal counts
How To Use: Extreme imbalances can indicate directional bias in the studied period. A heavily bullish ratio in a downtrend might suggest frequent failed rallies (bearish continuation). Context matters.
ROW 12 - Volume Ratio Detail (Optimized/Full mode only)
Shows current volume vs average volume in absolute terms.
Example: "1.4x | 45230 / 32300"
How To Use: Confirms whether current activity is above or below normal.
ROW 13 - Last Institutional Event (Full mode only)
Shows the most recent institutional pattern type and how many bars ago it occurred.
Example: "DISTRIBUTION | 23 bars"
How To Use: Tracks recency of last anomaly for context.
SETTINGS GUIDE - EVERY PARAMETER EXPLAINED
PERFORMANCE SECTION
Enable All Visuals (Master Toggle)
Default: ON
What It Does: Master kill switch for ALL visual elements (labels, lines, boxes, background colors, dashboard). When OFF, only plot outputs remain (invisible unless you open data window).
When To Change: Turn OFF on mobile devices, 1-second charts, or slow computers to improve performance. You can still receive alerts even with visuals disabled.
Impact: Dramatic performance improvement when OFF, but you lose all visual feedback.
Maximum Object History
Default: 50 | Range: 10-100
What It Does: Limits how many of each object type (labels, lines, boxes) are kept in memory. Older objects beyond this limit are deleted.
When To Change: Lower to 20-30 on fast timeframes (1-minute charts) to prevent slowdown. Increase to 100 on daily charts if you want more historical pattern visibility.
Impact: Lower values = better performance but less historical visibility. Higher values = more history visible but potential slowdown on fast timeframes.
Alert Cooldown (Bars)
Default: 5 | Range: 1-50
What It Does: Minimum number of bars that must pass before another alert of the same type can fire. Prevents alert spam when multiple patterns form in quick succession.
When To Change: Increase to 20+ on 1-minute charts to reduce noise. Decrease to 1-2 on daily charts if you want every pattern alerted.
Impact: Higher cooldown = fewer alerts. Lower cooldown = more alerts.
USER EXPERIENCE SECTION
Show Enhanced Tooltips
Default: ON
What It Does: Enables detailed hover-over tooltips on labels and visual elements.
When To Change: Turn OFF if you encounter Pine Script compilation errors related to tooltip arguments (rare, platform-specific issue).
Impact: Minimal. Just adds helpful hover text.
MARKET STRUCTURE DETECTION SECTION
Pivot Left Bars
Default: 3 | Range: 2-10
What It Does: Number of bars to the LEFT of the center bar that must be higher (for pivot low) or lower (for pivot high) than the center bar for a pivot to be valid.
Example: With value 3, a pivot low requires the center bar's low to be lower than the 3 bars to its left.
When To Change:
Increase to 5-7 on noisy timeframes (1-minute charts) to filter insignificant pivots
Decrease to 2 on slow timeframes (daily charts) to catch more pivots
Impact: Higher values = fewer, more significant pivots = fewer signals. Lower values = more frequent pivots = more signals but more noise.
Pivot Right Bars
Default: 3 | Range: 2-10
What It Does: Number of bars to the RIGHT of the center bar that must pass for confirmation. This creates the non-repainting delay.
Example: With value 3, a pivot is confirmed 3 bars AFTER it forms.
When To Change:
Increase to 5-7 for slower, more confirmed signals (better for swing trading)
Decrease to 2 for faster signals (better for intraday, but still non-repainting)
Impact: Higher values = longer delay but more reliable confirmation. Lower values = faster signals but less confirmation. This setting directly controls your signal delay in Confirmed and Relaxed modes.
Minimum Confluence Score
Default: 60 | Range: 40-95
What It Does: The threshold score required for a pattern to be displayed. Patterns with confluence scores below this threshold are not shown.
When To Change:
Increase to 75+ if you only want high-quality textbook setups (fewer signals)
Decrease to 50-55 if you want to see more developing patterns (more signals, lower average quality)
Impact: This is your primary signal filter. Higher threshold = fewer, higher-quality signals. Lower threshold = more signals but includes weaker setups. Recommended starting point is 60-65.
TECHNICAL PERIODS SECTION
RSI Period
Default: 14 | Range: 5-50
What It Does: Lookback period for RSI calculation.
When To Change:
Decrease to 9-10 for faster, more sensitive RSI that detects shorter-term momentum changes
Increase to 21-28 for slower, smoother RSI that filters noise
Impact: Lower values make RSI more volatile (more frequent extremes and divergences). Higher values make RSI smoother (fewer but more significant divergences). 14 is industry standard.
Volume Moving Average Period
Default: 20 | Range: 10-200
What It Does: Lookback period for calculating average volume. Current volume is compared to this average to determine volume ratio.
When To Change:
Decrease to 10-14 for shorter-term volume comparison (more sensitive to recent volume changes)
Increase to 50-100 for longer-term volume comparison (smoother, less sensitive)
Impact: Lower values make volume ratio more volatile. Higher values make it more stable. 20 is standard.
ATR Period
Default: 14 | Range: 5-100
What It Does: Lookback period for Average True Range calculation used for volatility measurement and label positioning.
When To Change: Rarely needs adjustment. Use 7-10 for faster volatility response, 21-28 for slower.
Impact: Affects volatility ratio calculation and visual label spacing. Minimal impact on signals.
Pressure Percentile Lookback
Default: 50 | Range: 10-300
What It Does: Lookback period for calculating volume pressure percentile ranking. Your current pressure is ranked against the pressure of the last X bars.
When To Change:
Decrease to 20-30 for shorter-term pressure context (more responsive to recent changes)
Increase to 100-200 for longer-term pressure context (smoother rankings)
Impact: Lower values make pressure strength more sensitive to recent bars. Higher values provide more stable, long-term pressure assessment. Capped at 300 for performance reasons.
SIGNAL DETECTION SECTION
Signal Detection Mode
Default: "Divergence + Confluence (Confirmed)"
Options:
Confluence Only (Real-time)
Divergence + Confluence (Confirmed)
Divergence + Confluence (Relaxed)
What It Does: Selects which detection logic mode to use (see "Understanding The Three Detection Modes" section above).
When To Change: Use Confirmed for learning and non-repainting signals. Use Real-time for live scanning without divergence requirement. Use Relaxed for slightly more signals than Confirmed.
Impact: Fundamentally changes when and how signals appear.
VISUAL LAYERS SECTION
All toggles default to ON. Each controls visibility of one visual layer:
Show Market Structure: Pivot markers and support/resistance lines
Show Pressure Zones: Background color shading
Show Divergence Lines: Dotted lines connecting pivots
Show Institutional Footprint Markers: Absorption boxes, hunt labels, exhaustion labels
Show Consolidated Analysis Label: Main pattern detection label
Use Compact Label Format
Default: OFF
What It Does: Switches consolidated label between single-line compact format and multi-line detailed format.
When To Change: Turn ON if you find full labels too large or distracting.
Impact: Visual clarity vs. information density tradeoff.
DASHBOARD SECTION
Dashboard Mode
Default: "Optimized"
Options: Off, Compact, Optimized, Full
What It Does: Controls how much information the dashboard displays.
Off: No dashboard
Compact: 8 rows (essential metrics only)
Optimized: 12 rows (recommended balance)
Full: 13 rows (every available metric)
Dashboard Position
Default: "Top Right"
Options: Top Right, Top Left, Bottom Right, Bottom Left
What It Does: Screen corner where dashboard appears.
HOW TO USE VMDM - PRACTICAL WORKFLOW
STEP 1 - INITIAL SETUP
Add VMDM to your chart
Select your detection mode (Confirmed recommended for learning)
Set your minimum confluence score (start with 60-65)
Adjust pivot parameters if needed (default 3/3 is good for most timeframes)
Enable the visual layers you want to see
STEP 2 - CHART ANALYSIS
Let the indicator load and analyze historical data
Review the patterns that appear historically
Examine the confluence scores - notice which patterns had higher scores
Observe which patterns occurred during supportive pressure zones
Notice the divergence line connections - understand what price vs RSI did
STEP 3 - PATTERN RECOGNITION LEARNING
When a consolidated analysis label appears:
Read the divergence type (regular or hidden, bullish or bearish)
Check the quality tier (textbook, high quality, or valid)
Review the confluence breakdown - which factors contributed
Look at the chart context - where is price relative to structure, trend, etc.
Observe the behavioral footprint markers nearby - do they support the pattern
STEP 4 - REAL-TIME MONITORING
Watch the dashboard for real-time regime and pressure state
Monitor the current confluence score in the dashboard
When it approaches your threshold, be alert for potential pattern formation
When a new pattern appears (after confirmation delay), evaluate it using the workflow above
Use your trading strategy rules to decide if the setup aligns with your criteria
STEP 5 - POST-PATTERN OBSERVATION
After a pattern appears:
Mark the level on your chart
Observe what price does after the pattern completes
Did price respect the reversal/continuation signal
What was the confluence score of patterns that worked vs. those that failed
Learn which quality tiers and confluence levels produce better results on your specific symbol and timeframe
RECOMMENDED TIMEFRAMES AND ASSET CLASSES
VMDM is timeframe-agnostic and works on any asset with volume data. However, optimal performance varies:
BEST TIMEFRAMES
15-Minute to 1-Hour: Ideal balance of signal frequency and reliability. Pivot confirmation delay is acceptable. Sufficient volume data for pressure analysis.
4-Hour to Daily: Excellent for swing trading. Very high-quality signals. Lower frequency but higher significance. Recommended for learning because patterns are clearer.
1-Minute to 5-Minute: Works but requires adjustment. Increase pivot bars to 5-7 for filtering. Decrease max object history to 30 for performance. Expect more noise.
Weekly/Monthly: Works but very infrequent signals. Increase confluence threshold to 70+ to ensure only major patterns appear.
BEST ASSET CLASSES
Forex Majors: Excellent volume data and clear trends. Pressure analysis works well.
Crypto (Major Pairs): Good volume data. High volatility makes divergences more pronounced. Works very well.
Stock Indices (SPY, QQQ, etc.): Excellent. Clean price action and reliable volume.
Individual Stocks: Works well on high-volume stocks. Low-volume stocks may produce unreliable pressure readings.
Commodities (Gold, Oil, etc.): Works well. Clear trends and reactions.
WHAT THIS INDICATOR CANNOT DO - LIMITATIONS
LIMITATION 1 - It Does Not Predict The Future
VMDM identifies when technical conditions align historically associated with potential reversals or continuations. It does not predict what will happen next. A textbook 95-confluence pattern can still fail if fundamental events, news, or larger timeframe structure override the setup.
LIMITATION 2 - Confirmation Delay Means You Miss Early Entry
In Confirmed and Relaxed modes, the non-repainting design means you receive signals AFTER the pivot is confirmed. Price may have already moved significantly by the time you receive the signal. This is the tradeoff for non-repainting reliability. You can use Real-time mode for faster signals but sacrifice divergence confirmation.
LIMITATION 3 - It Does Not Tell You Position Sizing or Risk Management
VMDM provides technical pattern analysis. It does not calculate stop loss levels, take profit targets, or position sizing. You must apply your own risk management rules. Never risk more than you can afford to lose based on a technical signal.
LIMITATION 4 - Volume Pressure Analysis Requires Reliable Volume Data
On assets with thin volume or unreliable volume reporting, pressure analysis may be inaccurate. Stick to major liquid assets with consistent volume data.
LIMITATION 5 - It Cannot Detect Fundamental Events
VMDM is purely technical. It cannot predict earnings reports, central bank decisions, geopolitical events, or other fundamental catalysts that can override technical patterns.
LIMITATION 6 - Divergence Requires Two Pivots
The indicator cannot detect divergence until at least two pivots of the same type have formed. In strong trends without pullbacks, you may go long periods without signals.
LIMITATION 7 - Institutional Pattern Names Are Interpretive
The behavioral footprint patterns are named using common trading education terminology, but they are detected through technical analysis, not actual institutional data access. The patterns are interpretations based on price and volume behavior.
CONCEPT FOUNDATION - WHY THIS APPROACH WORKS
MARKET PRINCIPLE 1 - Momentum Divergence Precedes Price Reversal
Price is the final output of market forces, but momentum (the rate of change in those forces) shifts first. When price makes a new low but the momentum behind that move is weaker (higher RSI low), it signals that sellers are losing strength even though they temporarily pushed price lower. This precedes reversal. This is a fundamental principle in technical analysis taught by Charles Dow, widely observed in market behavior.
MARKET PRINCIPLE 2 - Volume Reveals Conviction
Price can move on low volume (low conviction) or high volume (high conviction). When price makes a new low on declining volume while RSI shows improving momentum, it suggests the new low is not confirmed by participant conviction. Adding volume pressure analysis to momentum divergence adds a confirmation layer that filters false divergences.
MARKET PRINCIPLE 3 - Anomalies Mark Structural Extremes
When volume spikes significantly but range contracts (absorption), or when price spikes beyond structure then reverses (stop hunt), or when aggressive moves are met with large-wick rejection (exhaustion), these anomalies often mark short-term extremes. Combining these structural observations with momentum analysis creates context.
MARKET PRINCIPLE 4 - Confluence Improves Probability
No single technical factor is reliable in isolation. RSI divergence alone fails frequently. Volume analysis alone cannot time entries. Combining multiple independent factors into a weighted system increases the probability that observed patterns have structural significance rather than random noise.
THE EDUCATIONAL VALUE
By visualizing all four layers simultaneously and breaking down the confluence scoring transparently, VMDM teaches you to think in terms of multi-dimensional analysis rather than single-indicator reliance. Over time, you will learn to recognize these patterns manually and understand which combinations produce better results on your traded assets.
INSTITUTIONAL TERMINOLOGY - IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION
This indicator uses the following terms that are common in trading education:
Institutional Footprint
Absorption (Accumulation / Distribution)
Stop Hunt
Exhaustion
CRITICAL DISCLAIMER:
These terms are EDUCATIONAL LABELS for specific price action and volume behavior patterns detected through technical analysis of publicly available chart data (open, high, low, close, volume). This indicator does NOT have access to:
Actual institutional order flow or order book data
Market maker positions or intentions
Broker stop-loss databases
Non-public trading data
Proprietary institutional information
The patterns labeled as "institutional footprint" are interpretations based on observable price and volume behavior that educational trading literature often associates with potential large-participant activity. The detection is algorithmic pattern recognition, not privileged data access.
When this indicator identifies "absorption," it means it detected high volume within a small range - a condition that MAY indicate large orders being filled but is not confirmation of actual institutional participation.
When it identifies a "stop hunt," it means price briefly penetrated a structural level then reversed - a pattern that MAY have triggered stop losses but is not confirmation that stops were specifically targeted.
When it identifies "exhaustion," it means high volume with large rejection wicks - a pattern that MAY indicate aggressive participation meeting strong opposition but is not confirmation of institutional involvement.
These are technical analysis interpretations, not factual statements about market participant identity or intent.
DISCLAIMER AND RISK WARNING
EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE ONLY
This indicator is designed as an educational tool to help traders learn to recognize technical patterns, understand multi-factor analysis, and practice systematic market observation. It is NOT a trading system, signal service, or financial advice.
NO PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE
Past pattern behavior does not guarantee future results. A pattern that historically preceded price movement in one direction may fail in the future due to changing market conditions, fundamental events, or random variance. Confluence scores reflect historical technical alignment, not future certainty.
TRADING INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK
Trading financial instruments involves substantial risk of loss. You can lose more than your initial investment. Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose. Always use proper risk management including stop losses, position sizing, and portfolio diversification.
NO PREDICTIVE CLAIMS
This indicator does NOT predict future price movement. It identifies when technical conditions align in patterns that historically have been associated with potential reversals or continuations. Market behavior is probabilistic, not deterministic.
BACKTESTING LIMITATIONS
If you backtest trading strategies using this indicator, ensure you account for:
Realistic commission costs
Realistic slippage (difference between signal price and actual fill price)
Sufficient sample size (minimum 100 trades for statistical relevance)
Reasonable position sizing (risking no more than 1-2 percent of account per trade)
The confirmation delay inherent in the indicator (you cannot enter at the exact pivot in Confirmed mode)
Backtests that do not account for these factors will produce unrealistic results.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Why do signals appear in the past, not at the current bar
A: In Confirmed and Relaxed modes, signals appear at confirmed pivots, which requires waiting for right-side confirmation bars (default 3). This creates a delay but prevents repainting. Use Real-time mode if you want current-bar signals without pivot confirmation.
Q: Can I use this for automated trading
A: You can create alert-based automation, but understand that Confirmed mode signals appear AFTER the pivot with delay, so your entry will not be at the pivot price. Real-time mode signals can change as the current bar develops. Automation requires careful consideration of these factors.
Q: How do I know which confluence score to use
A: Start with 60. Observe which patterns work on your symbol/timeframe. If too many false signals, increase to 70-75. If too few signals, decrease to 55. Quality vs. quantity tradeoff.
Q: Do regular divergences mean I should enter a reversal trade immediately
A: No. Regular divergences indicate momentum exhaustion, which is a WARNING sign that trend may reverse, not a confirmation that it will. Use confluence score, market context, support/resistance, and your strategy rules to make entry decisions. Many divergences fail.
Q: What's the difference between regular and hidden divergence
A: Regular divergence = price and momentum move in opposite directions at extremes = potential reversal signal. Hidden divergence = price and momentum move in opposite directions during pullbacks = potential continuation signal. Hidden divergence suggests the pullback is just a correction within the larger trend.
Q: Why does the pressure zone color sometimes conflict with the divergence direction
A: Pressure is real-time current bar analysis. Divergence is confirmed pivot analysis from the past. They measure different things at different times. A bullish divergence confirmed 3 bars ago might appear during current selling pressure. This is normal.
Q: Can I use this on stocks without volume data
A: No. Volume is required for pressure analysis and behavioral pattern detection. Use only on assets with reliable volume reporting.
Q: How often should I expect signals
A: Depends on timeframe and settings. Daily charts might produce 5-10 signals per month. 1-hour charts might produce 20-30. 15-minute charts might produce 50-100. Adjust confluence threshold to control frequency.
Q: Can I modify the code
A: Yes, this is open source. You can modify for personal use. If you publish a modified version, please credit the original and ensure your publication meets TradingView guidelines.
Q: What if I disagree with a pattern's confluence score
A: The scoring weights are based on general observations and may not suit your specific strategy or asset. You can modify the code to adjust weights if you have data-driven reasons to do so.
Final Notes
VMDM - Volume, Momentum and Divergence Master is an educational multi-layer market analysis system designed to teach systematic pattern recognition through transparent, confluence-weighted signal detection. By combining RSI momentum divergence, volume pressure quantification, behavioral footprint pattern recognition, and quality scoring into a unified framework, it provides a comprehensive learning environment for understanding market structure.

Volumetric Inverse Fair Value Gap (IFVG) [Kodexius]The Volumetric Inverse Fair Value Gap (IFVG) indicator detects and visualizes inverse fair value gaps (IFVGs) zones where previous inefficiencies in price (fair value gaps) are later invalidated or “inverted.”
Unlike traditional FVG indicators, this tool integrates volume-based analysis to quantify the bullish, bearish, and overall strength of each inversion. It visually represents these metrics within a dynamically updating box on the chart, giving traders deeper insight into market reactions when liquidity imbalances are filled and reversed.
Features
Inverse fair value gap detection
The script identifies bullish and bearish fair value gaps, stores them as pending zones, and turns them into inverse fair value gaps when price trades back through the gap in the opposite direction. Each valid inversion becomes an active IFVG zone on the chart.
Sensitivity control with ATR filter and strict mode
A minimum gap size based on ATR is used to filter out small and noisy gaps. Strict mode can be enabled so that any wick contact between the relevant candles prevents the gap from being accepted as a fair value gap. This lets you decide how clean and selective the zones should be.
Show Last N Boxes control
The indicator can keep only the most recent N IFVG zones visible. Older zones are removed from the chart once the number of active objects exceeds the user setting. This prevents clutter on higher timeframes or long histories and keeps attention on the most relevant recent zones.
Ghost box for the original gap
When the ghost option is enabled, the script draws a faint box that marks the original fair value gap from which the inverse zone came. This makes it easy to see where the initial imbalance appeared and how price later inverted that area.
Volumetric bull, bear and strength metrics
For each IFVG, the script estimates how much of the bar volume is associated with buying and how much with selling, then computes bull percentage, bear percentage and a strength score that uses a percentile rank of volume. These values are stored with the IFVG object and drive the visualization inside the zone.
Three band visual layout inside each IFVG
Each active IFVG is drawn as a container with three horizontal sections. The top band represents the bull percentage, the middle band the bear percentage and the bottom band the strength metric. The width of each bar reflects its respective value so you can read the structure of the zone at a glance.
Customizable colors and label text
Colors for bull, bear, strength, the empty background area, the ghost box and label text can be adjusted in the inputs. This allows you to match the indicator to different chart themes or highlight specific aspects such as strength or direction.
Automatic invalidation and cleanup
When price clearly closes beyond the IFVG in a way that breaks the logic of that zone, the script marks it as inactive and deletes all boxes and labels linked to it. Only valid and active IFVGs remain on the chart, which keeps the display clean and focused.
Calculations
1. Detecting Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
A fair value gap is identified when price action leaves an imbalance between candle wicks. Depending on the mode:
Bullish FVG: When low > high
Bearish FVG: When high < low
Optionally, the strict mode ensures wicks do not touch.
The gap’s significance is filtered using the ATR multiplier input to exclude minor noise.
Once detected, FVGs are stored as pending zones until inverted by opposite movement (price crossing through).
bool bull_cond = strict_mode ? (low > high ) : (close > high )
bool bear_cond = strict_mode ? (high < low ) : (close < low )
float gap_size = 0.0
if bull_cond and close > open
gap_size := low - high
if bear_cond and close < open
gap_size := low - high
2. Creating IFVGs (Inversions)
When price later moves through a previous FVG in the opposite direction, an Inverse FVG (IFVG) is created.
For example:
A previous bearish FVG becomes bullish IFVG if price moves upward through it.
A previous bullish FVG becomes bearish IFVG if price moves downward through it.
The IFVG is initialized with structural boundaries (top, bottom) and timestamp metadata to anchor visualization.
if not p.is_bull_gap and close > p.top
inverted := true
to_bull := true
if p.is_bull_gap and close < p.btm
inverted := true
to_bull := false
3. Volume Metrics (Bull, Bear, Strength)
Each IFVG calculates buy and sell volumes from the current bar’s price spread and total volume.
Bull % = proportion of upward (buy) volume
Bear % = proportion of downward (sell) volume
Strength % = normalized percentile rank of total volume
These are obtained through a custom function that estimates directional volume contribution:
calc_metrics(float o, float h, float l, float c, float v) =>
float rng = h - l
float buy_v = 0.0
if rng == 0
buy_v := v * 0.5
else
if c >= o
buy_v := v * ((math.abs(c - o) + (math.min(o, c) - l)) / rng)
else
buy_v := v * ((h - math.max(o, c)) / rng)
float sell_v = v - buy_v
float total = buy_v + sell_v
float p_bull = total > 0 ? buy_v / total : 0
float p_bear = total > 0 ? sell_v / total : 0
float p_str = ta.percentrank(v, 100) / 100.0
mrD-Volume Profile HeatmapThis indicator combines advanced volume analysis with institutional-grade visualization techniques to provide traders with a comprehensive view of market structure and liquidity zones.
WHAT MAKES THIS UNIQUE:
• Proprietary bidirectional volume profiling algorithm that separates buying and selling pressure using VWAP deviation analysis, not standard volume bars
• Custom heatmap visualization engine with adaptive gradient calculation based on volume-weighted price distribution across multiple timeframes
• Integrated Weekly VWAP with hlc3 weighting for institutional reference levels
• Dynamic POC (Point of Control) detection with fixed-height text boxes for clarity
• Optimized rendering system that handles 500+ bars efficiently without lag
HOW IT WORKS:
The algorithm analyzes volume distribution at each price level within the lookback period, applying a proprietary weighting system that considers:
1. Volume-weighted average price (VWAP) deviation to classify volume as bullish/bearish
2. Price levels are binned into customizable rows (bins) for granular analysis
3. Volume bars extend bidirectionally: positive volume (green) extends left, negative volume (red) extends right
4. Heatmap overlay uses multi-level gradient mapping (6-color spectrum) to highlight high volume nodes
5. Weekly VWAP provides macro trend reference with session-based reset logic
VOLUME PROFILE MECHANICS:
• Calculates volume distribution across price levels using a grid-based binning system
• Each bin accumulates volume when the price touches that level
• Positive/negative classification based on VWAP position (above = bullish, below = bearish)
• POC automatically identifies the price level with maximum volume concentration
• Display shows volume intensity through color gradients and bar lengths
HEATMAP VISUALIZATION:
• Uses exponential gradient multiplier (default 1.9) for enhanced contrast
• Color transitions: Dark Blue (low volume) → Cyan → Green → Yellow (high volume)
• Transparency-adjusted overlays ensure chart readability
• Real-time updates as new volume data arrives
WEEKLY VWAP INTEGRATION:
• Resets at the start of each trading week (request.security logic)
• Uses hlc3 (typical price) as the volume-weighted source
• Provides institutional reference level for swing traders
• Yellow color (#FFEB3B) for easy identification
KEY PARAMETERS:
• Period: Lookback window for volume calculations (default: 500 bars)
• Bins: Number of price levels for volume distribution (default: 150 rows)
• Offset: Horizontal positioning of volume bars (default: 50)
• Heatmap Rows: Granularity of heatmap overlay (default: 250)
• POC displays actual volume numbers for transparency
TRADING APPLICATIONS:
→ Identify high-volume nodes as support/resistance zones
→ Detect liquidity clusters where institutional orders concentrate
→ Spot low-volume areas where price may move quickly (thin zones)
→ Use bidirectional volume to assess buying vs selling pressure
→ Combine with Weekly VWAP for multi-timeframe confluence
→ POC levels often act as price magnets (mean reversion targets)
TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION NOTES:
• Optimized for intraday to swing timeframes (1m to Daily charts)
• Volume calculations use session-based accumulation (no future data)
• Box rendering is limited to 500 objects for performance
• Gradient calculations use mathematical power functions for smooth transitions
• VWAP calculation follows institutional standard (volume-weighted hlc3)

Volume essential parameters overlayVolume EPO – Essential Volume Parameters Overlay
1. Motivation and design philosophy
Volume EPO is designed as a conceptual overlay rather than a self contained trading system. The main idea behind this script is to take complex, foundational market concepts out of heavy, menu driven strategies and express them as lightweight, independent layers that sit on top of any chart or indicator.
In many TradingView scripts, a single strategy tries to handle everything at once: signal logic, risk settings, visual cues, multi timeframe controls, and conceptual explanations. This usually leads to long input menus, performance issues, and difficult maintenance. The architectural approach behind Volume EPO is the opposite: keep the core strategy lean, and move the explanation and measurement of key concepts into dedicated overlays.
In this framework, Volume EPO is the base layer for the concept of volume. It does not decide anything about entries or exits. Instead, it exposes and clarifies how different definitions of volume behave candle by candle. Other layers or strategies can then build on top of this understanding.
2. What Volume EPO does
Volume EPO focuses on four essential volume parameters for each bar:
- Buy volume - Sell volume - Total volume - Delta volume (the difference between buy and sell volume)
The script presents these parameters in a compact heads up display (HUD) table that can be positioned anywhere on the chart. It is designed to be visually minimal, language aware, and usable on top of any other indicator or price action without cluttering the view.
The indicator does not output signals, alerts, arrows, or strategy entries. It is a descriptive and educational tool that shows how volume is distributed, not a prescriptive tool that tells the trader what to do.
3. Two definitions of volume
A central theme of this script is that there is more than one way to define and interpret “volume” inside a single candle. Volume EPO implements and clearly separates two different approaches:
- A geometric, candle based approximation that uses only OHLC and volume of the current bar. - An intrabar, data driven definition that uses lower timeframe up and down volume when it is available.
The user can switch between these modes via the calculation method input. The mode is prominently shown inside the on chart table so that the context is always explicit.
3.1 Geometry mode (Source File, approximate)
In Geometry mode, Volume EPO works only with the current bar’s OHLC values and total volume. No lower timeframe data is required.
The candle’s range is defined as high minus low. If the range is positive, the position of the close inside that range is used as a simple model for how volume might have been distributed between buyers and sellers:
- The closer the close is to the high, the more of the total volume is attributed to the buying side. - The closer the close is to the low, the more of the total volume is attributed to the selling side. - In a rare case where the bar has no price range (for example a flat or doji bar), total volume is split evenly between buy and sell volume.
From this model, the script derives:
- Buy volume (approximated) - Sell volume (approximated) - Total volume (as reported by the bar) - Delta volume as the difference between buy and sell volume
This approach is intentionally labeled as “Geometry (Approx)” in the HUD. It is a theoretical reconstruction based solely on the candle’s geometry and total volume, and it is always available on any market or timeframe that provides OHLCV data.
3.2 Intrabar mode (Precise)
In Intrabar mode, Volume EPO uses the TradingView built in library for up and down volume on a user selected lower timeframe. Instead of inferring volume from the shape of the candle, it reads the underlying lower timeframe data when that data is accessible.
The script requests up and down volume from a lower timeframe such as 15 seconds, using the official TA library functions. The results are then interpreted as follows:
- Buy volume is taken as the absolute value of the up volume. - Sell volume is taken as the absolute value of the down volume. - Total volume is the sum of buy and sell volume. - Delta volume is provided directly by the library as the difference between up and down volume.
If valid lower timeframe data exists for a bar, the bar is counted as covered by Intrabar data. If not, that bar is marked as invalid for this precise calculation and is excluded from the covered count.
This mode is labeled “Precise” in the HUD, together with the selected lower timeframe, because it is anchored in actual intrabar data rather than in a geometric model. It provides a closer view of how buying and selling pressure unfolded inside the bar, at the cost of requiring more data and being dependent on the availability of that data.
4. Coverage, lookback, and what the numbers mean
The top part of the HUD reports not only which volume definition is active, but also an additional line that describes the effective coverage of the data.
In Intrabar (Precise) mode, the script displays:
- “Scanned: N Bars”
Here, N counts how many bars since the indicator was loaded have successfully received valid lower timeframe delta data. It is a measure of how much of the visible history has been truly covered by intrabar information, not a lookback window in the sense of a rolling calculation.
In Geometry mode, the script displays:
- “Lookback: L Bars”
In this extracted layer, the lookback value L is purely descriptive. It does not change how the current bar’s volume is computed, and it is not used in any iterative or statistical calculation inside this script. It is meant as a conceptual label, for example to keep the volume layer consistent with a broader framework where lookback length is a structural parameter.
Summarizing these two fields:
- Scanned tells you how many bars have been processed using real intrabar data. - Lookback is a descriptive parameter in Geometry mode in this specific overlay, not a direct driver of the computations.
5. The HUD layout on the chart
The on chart table is intentionally compact and structured to be read quickly:
- Header: a title identifying the overlay as Volume EPO. - Mode line: explicitly states whether the script is in Precise or Geometry mode, and for Precise mode also shows the lower timeframe used. - Coverage line: - In Precise mode, it shows “Scanned: N Bars”. - In Geometry mode, it shows “Lookback: L Bars”. - Volume block: - A line for buy and sell volume, marked with clear directional symbols. - A line for total volume and the absolute delta, accompanied by the sign of the delta. - Numeric formatting uses human friendly suffixes (for example K, M, B) to keep the display readable. - Footer: the current symbol and a time stamp, adjusted by a user selectable timezone offset so that the HUD can be aligned with the trader’s local time reference.
The table can be positioned anywhere on the chart and resized via inputs, and it supports multiple color themes and languages in order to integrate cleanly into different chart layouts.
6. How to use Volume EPO in practice
Volume EPO is meant to be read together with price action and other tools, not in isolation. Typical uses include:
- Studying how often a strong directional candle is actually supported by dominant buy or sell volume. - Comparing the behavior of delta volume between Geometry and Intrabar definitions. - Building a personal intuition for how intrabar data refines or contradicts the simple candle based approximation. - Feeding these insights into separate, lean strategy scripts that do not need to carry the full explanatory logic of volume inside them.
Because it is an overlay layer, Volume EPO can be stacked with other custom indicators without adding new signals or complexity to their logic. It simply adds a clear and consistent view of volume behavior on top of whatever the trader is already watching.
7. Educational and non signalling nature
Finally, it is important to stress that Volume EPO is not a trading system, not a signal generator, and not financial advice. The script does not tell the user when to enter or exit. It only reports how different definitions of volume describe the current bar.
Deciding whether to trade, how to trade, and which risk parameters to use remains entirely with the user and with their own strategy. Volume EPO provides context and clarity around the concept of volume so that those decisions can be informed by a better understanding of how buying and selling pressure is structured inside each candle.
Note: Even on lower timeframes, every reconstruction of volume remains an approximation, except at the true single tick level. However, the closer the chosen lower timeframe is to a one tick stream, the more accurately it can reflect the underlying order flow and balance between buying and selling pressure.
Hidden Volume Profile[52Signal Recipe]─────────────────────────────────────
52SIGNAL RECIPE Hidden Volume Profile
◆ Overview
52SIGNAL RECIPE Smart Volume Profile is an advanced volume distribution indicator that visualizes buying and selling strength across different price levels. Unlike traditional volume profiles that only display total volume, this enhanced version separates buy volume and sell volume at each price level, revealing the hidden balance of market forces at specific prices.
Built on the same sophisticated calculation methodology as our Hidden Volume Detector, this indicator applies enhanced volume analysis to the Volume Profile framework. By displaying horizontal volume bars (green for buying, red for selling) at each price level in a separate panel, it provides clear insight into where market participants accumulated or distributed their positions.
Furthermore, when used alongside the Hidden Volume Detector that shows individual candle analysis, it enables traders to understand both micro-level (candle-by-candle) and macro-level (price-level) market dynamics comprehensively, supporting more effective trading strategies.
─────────────────────────────────────
◆ Key Features
Price-Level Volume Distribution: Displays horizontal volume bars at each price level, showing where the most trading activity occurred
Buy/Sell Volume Separation: Green bars represent buying volume (bullish pressure), red bars represent selling volume (bearish pressure) at each price level
POC (Point of Control) Identification: Automatically marks the price level with the highest total volume, acting as a strong support/resistance level
Enhanced Buy/Sell Calculation: Analyzes candle structure, position, and momentum to distinguish genuine buying pressure from selling pressure, using the same algorithm as Hidden Volume Detector
Customizable Display: Adjustable number of price levels (rows), analysis period (lookback bars), color customization, and POC line toggle
Magnet Effect Visualization: Shows how price gravitates toward high-volume areas, particularly the POC
─────────────────────────────────────
◆ Trading Application Points
Identify strong support zones where large green bars indicate buyer accumulation
Identify strong resistance zones where large red bars indicate seller distribution
Use POC as a key pivot point for support/resistance trading
Detect volume imbalances at specific price levels to find bullish or bearish zones
Combine with Hidden Volume Detector for complete analysis: individual candle timing (Hidden Volume) + price level zones (Volume Profile)
─────────────────────────────────────
◆ Synergy With Other Indicators
Use with Hidden Volume Detector for multi-dimensional volume analysis: candle-level detail + price-level overview
Combine with trend indicators (Moving Averages, MACD) to validate support/resistance levels in trending markets
Use with price action patterns to confirm breakout or reversal signals at key volume levels
─────────────────────────────────────
◆ Conclusion
52SIGNAL RECIPE Smart Volume Profile is a powerful and intuitive tool that reveals the distribution of buying and selling forces across price levels. By visualizing buy and sell volumes separately at each price level and identifying the POC, it allows traders to understand where market participants made their decisions and where key support/resistance levels exist.
Especially when used together with the Hidden Volume Detector, it provides a complete volume analysis system: Hidden Volume shows real-time buying/selling pressure in individual candles for precise entry/exit timing, while Smart Volume Profile shows accumulated buying/selling zones across price levels for strategic planning. This combination enables traders to interpret market dynamics from both micro and macro perspectives, ultimately supporting more informed and effective trading decisions.

Regime Filter [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
Regime Filter is a dual-factor trend condition tool combining price trend momentum and volume expansion into a single, easy-to-read visual framework. It quantifies recent trend direction and volume shifts, then shows them as:
Two oscillator plots for Trend and Volume regimes
Dynamic candle coloring for trend clarity
A quadrant scatter map in your chart corner for immediate regime recognition.
This filter helps traders quickly detect when a trend is healthy & confirmed by strong volume, or weakening & vulnerable due to low volume.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Trend Oscillator: A loop-based trend value calculated by comparing the current smoothed price (HMA of HLC3) against its own trailing history. Positive values indicate trend-up regimes, negative values signal trend-down phases.
Volume Oscillator: Similar loop logic but on smoothed volume (HMA of Volume) — highlighting whether trading activity is expanding or contracting relative to past bars.
hma = ta.hma(hlc3, 15)
vol = ta.hma(volume, 15)
for i = 0 to len
if hma > hma
trend += 1
else
trend -= 1
for i = 0 to len
if vol > vol
voltrend += 1
else
voltrend -= 1
Regime Map Scatter Plot: A unique 2D quadrant displayed in the bottom-right corner. This shows where the market is sitting:
> Top Right (green): Trend ↑ and Volume ↑ → strong confirmed up trend.
> Top Left (red): Trend ↓ but Volume ↑ → strong sell momentum.
> Bottom Right (blue): Trend ↑ but Volume ↓ → uptrend losing steam.
> Bottom Left (yellow): Trend ↓ and Volume ↓ → weak bearish drift.
Dynamic Candle Coloring: Candles are colored by trend only: green for uptrends, red for downtrends, and orange near reversals.
Threshold Fills: The oscillator region is shaded green above +10 (healthy uptrend) and red below -10 (strong downtrend) for instant confidence.
🔵 FEATURES
Normalized trend and volume values adapt automatically to your lookback length.
Candlestick color overrides highlight current trend state in real-time.
Clear zero-line and fill bands help you gauge strength vs. noise.
Scatter regime dashboard updates live to track when trend and volume align or decouple.
Color gradients show intensification or cooling in both oscillators and the regime map.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Look for sustained positive trend and volume values to confirm strong directional moves.
Watch for the scatter dot in the green square (top right) for high-confidence breakouts.
If the dot drops to bottom right, uptrend may be tiring — possible exit zone.
If the dot jumps top left, bearish drive is reinforced by heavy volume — caution on longs.
Use the orange trend coloring as an early warning that trend pressure may be shifting.
Combine with breakout levels or moving averages for a robust regime filter system.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Regime Filter distills price trend and volume dynamics into an actionable multi-mode display: oscillators, color-coded candles, and an intuitive scatter map. This all-in-one layout helps traders visually read market regime strength and spot fading trends before they turn — perfect for swing traders, intraday scalpers, and macro trend followers alike.

🎓 UNDERSTANDING THE METHODOLOGY
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
This indicator is built on three core concepts:
1. ORDER FLOW THEORY
Markets move between premium (expensive) and discount (cheap) zones. Smart money accumulates in discount zones and distributes in premium zones. This indicator identifies these zones automatically.
2. ADAPTIVE TREND FOLLOWING
Unlike fixed-period moving averages, the Elite Trend Engine adjusts to current market volatility, providing more accurate trend signals in both trending and ranging conditions.
3. CONFLUENCE-BASED ENTRIES
Signals only trigger when multiple conditions align:
- Price in correct zone (premium for shorts, discount for longs)
- Trend confirmation (cloud color matches direction)
- Volume validation (spike or climax present)
- Price action strength (strong rejection candles)
This multi-layer approach dramatically reduces false signals.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🔔 ALERT SETUP
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
This indicator includes 5 alert types:
1. Long Signal → Triggers when buy conditions met
2. Short Signal → Triggers when sell conditions met
3. Volume Climax → Warns of pot
Confluence Engine [BullByte]CONFLUENCE ENGINE
Multi-Factor Technical Analysis Framework
OVERVIEW
Confluence Engine is a multi-dimensional technical analysis framework that evaluates market conditions across five distinct analytical pillars simultaneously. Rather than relying on a single indicator or signal source, this tool synthesizes Structure, Momentum, Volume, Volatility, and Pattern analysis into a unified scoring system that identifies high-probability trading opportunities when multiple technical factors align.
The core philosophy behind this indicator stems from a fundamental observation: isolated signals frequently fail, but when multiple independent analytical methods agree, the probability of a successful trade increases substantially. This indicator was developed after extensive research into why traders often receive conflicting signals from different indicators on their charts, leading to analysis paralysis and poor decision-making.
THE PROBLEM AND SOLUTION
The Problem:
Most traders use multiple indicators independently, often receiving contradictory signals. One indicator says "buy" while another says "wait." This creates confusion and leads to missed opportunities, premature entries based on incomplete analysis, difficulty quantifying how strong a setup actually is, and inconsistent decision-making across different market conditions.
The Solution:
Confluence Engine addresses this by providing a single, unified score (0-100) that represents the aggregate strength of a trading setup. Instead of mentally weighing five different indicators, traders receive a clear numerical score indicating setup quality, visual tier classification (ULTRA, HIGH, STANDARD), specific identification of which factors are strong or weak, and actionable guidance on what to watch for next.
THE FIVE ANALYTICAL DIMENSIONS
Each dimension was selected because it measures a fundamentally different aspect of market behavior:
STRUCTURE ANALYSIS
Evaluates price position relative to key levels and recent swing points. Markets respect structure - previous highs, lows, and areas where price reversed. This dimension identifies when price interacts with these critical levels and measures the quality of that interaction.
What it detects: Price approaching or sweeping swing highs/lows, reclaim patterns after false breakouts, EMA alignment and trend structure, exhaustion after extended moves.
MOMENTUM ANALYSIS
Measures the underlying strength and direction of price movement. Strong moves are characterized by momentum preceding price. This dimension evaluates whether momentum supports the current price direction.
What it detects: Oversold/overbought conditions with reversal potential, momentum divergence states, directional movement strength (ADX-based), momentum shifts before price confirmation.
VOLUME ANALYSIS
Volume validates price movement. Significant moves require participation. This dimension measures current volume relative to recent averages to determine if market participants are genuinely committing to the move.
What it detects: Volume spikes confirming price action, below-average volume warning of weak moves, climactic volume at potential reversals, volume confirmation of rejection patterns.
VOLATILITY ANALYSIS
Markets alternate between compression (low volatility) and expansion (high volatility). This dimension identifies these phases and recognizes when compression is likely to resolve into directional movement.
What it detects: Volatility squeeze conditions (Bollinger inside Keltner), squeeze release direction, ATR expansion indicating breakout potential, compression duration for timing breakouts.
PATTERN ANALYSIS
Candlestick patterns reflect the battle between buyers and sellers within each bar. This dimension evaluates the quality and context of reversal and continuation patterns.
What it detects: Engulfing patterns with quality scoring, hammer and shooting star formations, rejection wicks indicating trapped traders, pattern confluence with other factors.
WHAT MAKES THIS INDICATOR ORIGINAL Not a mashup
This is NOT a mashup of indicators displayed together. The Confluence Engine represents an integrated analytical framework with the following unique characteristics:
Unified Scoring System: All five dimensions feed into a proprietary scoring algorithm that weights and combines their signals. The output is a single 0-100 score, not five separate readings.
Multi-Factor Gate: Beyond just scoring, the system requires a minimum number of factors to be "active" (meeting their individual thresholds) before allowing signals. This prevents signals based on one extremely strong factor masking four weak ones.
Regime-Aware Adjustments: The engine detects the current market regime (trending, ranging, volatile, weak) and automatically adjusts factor weights and score multipliers. A structure signal means something different in a trending market versus a ranging market.
Adaptive Risk Management: Take-profit and stop-loss levels are not static. They adapt based on current volatility, market regime, and signal quality - providing tighter targets in low-volatility environments and wider targets when volatility expands.
Liquidity Sweep Detection: A distinctive feature that identifies when price has swept beyond a swing high/low and then reclaimed back inside. This pattern often indicates stop hunts followed by reversals.
Signal Quality Tiers: Rather than just "signal" or "no signal," the engine classifies setups into tiers. ULTRA (80+) represents highest probability setups with all factors aligned. HIGH (70-79) represents strong setups with multiple factors confirming. STANDARD meets minimum threshold for acceptable setups.
HOW THE SCORING WORKS
Each of the five factors generates a raw score from 0-100 based on current market conditions. These raw scores are then weighted according to the selected trading style (Balanced, Scalper, Swing, Range, Trend), adjusted based on current market regime detection, modified by higher timeframe alignment (if enabled), bonused when multiple factors exceed their activation thresholds simultaneously, and multiplied by session factors (if session filter is enabled).
The result is a final Bull Score and Bear Score, each ranging from 0-100, representing the current strength of long and short setups respectively.
Signal Generation Requirements:
- Score meets minimum threshold (configurable: 60-95)
- Required number of factors are "active" (default: 3 of 5)
- Market regime is not blocked (if blocking enabled)
- Higher timeframe alignment passes (if required)
- Cooldown period from last signal has elapsed
UNDERSTANDING THE DASHBOARDS
Main Dashboard (Top Right)
The main dashboard displays real-time scores and market context:
LONG Score - Current bullish setup strength (0-100) with quality tier displayed
SHORT Score - Current bearish setup strength (0-100) with quality tier displayed
Regime - Current market state showing TREND UP, TREND DN, VOLATILE, RANGE, or WEAK
HTF - Higher timeframe alignment showing BULL, BEAR, NEUT, or OFF
Squeeze - Volatility state showing SQZ (in squeeze), REL+ (bullish release), REL- (bearish release), or NORM
Gate - Factor count versus requirement, for example 4/3 means 4 factors active with 3 required
Sweep L/S - Liquidity sweep status for long and short setups
ATR% - Current ATR as percentile of recent range indicating relative volatility
Vol - Current volume relative to 20-period average
R:R - Current risk-reward ratio based on adaptive TP/SL calculations
Trade - Active trade status and unrealized profit/loss percentage
Analysis Dashboard (Bottom Left)
The analysis dashboard provides actionable guidance:
Signal Readiness - Visual progress bars showing how close each direction is to generating a signal
Blocking Factors - Identifies which specific factor is weakest and preventing signals
Recommended Action - Context-aware guidance such as WATCH, WAIT, MANAGE, or SCAN
Watch For - Specific events to monitor for setup completion
Opportunity Level - Overall market opportunity rating from EXCELLENT to VERY POOR
Timing - Contextual timing guidance based on current conditions
Status Bar (Bottom Center)
Compact view displaying Long Score, Gate Status, Current State, Gate Status, and Short Score in a single row for quick reference.
Dashboard Size - Auto Mode Explained
When Dashboard Size is set to "Auto", the indicator intelligently adjusts text size based on your current chart timeframe to optimize readability:
Auto-Sizing Logic:
1-Minute to 5-Minute Charts → Tiny
- Lower timeframes show more bars on screen
- Tiny text prevents dashboard from obscuring price action
- Recommended for scalping and high-frequency monitoring
15-Minute Charts → Small
- Balanced size for intraday trading
- Readable without being intrusive
1-Hour to Daily Charts → Normal
- Standard size for most trading styles
- Optimal readability for swing trading
Weekly and Monthly Charts → Large
- Larger text for position trading
- Fewer bars visible so space is available
Manual Override:
You can override auto-sizing for any dashboard individually:
- Dashboard Size (All): Sets master size applied to all dashboards
- Main Dashboard Size: Override for top-right dashboard specifically
- Analysis Panel Size: Override for bottom-left panel specifically
- Status Bar Size: Override for bottom-center bar specifically
Example Use Case:
Trading on 5m chart (default = Tiny) but you have good eyesight and large monitor:
- Set "Dashboard Size (All)" to "Small" or "Normal" for better readability
- Individual dashboards will use your override instead of auto-sizing
Recommendation:
Start with Auto mode and only adjust if dashboards are too large or too small for your monitor/eyesight.
UNDERSTANDING SIGNAL LABELS
When a signal generates, a label appears with trade information:
Minimal Style Example:
LONG 85
Shows tier icon, direction, and score only.
Detailed Style Example:
ULTRA LONG
Score: 85
Entry: 50250.50
TP1: 50650.25
TP2: 51500.75
SL: 49850.25
R:R 1:2.5
Regime: TREND UP
HTF: BULL
Tier Icons Explained:
indicates ULTRA quality with score 80 or higher
indicates HIGH quality with score between 70 and 79
indicates STANDARD quality with score meeting minimum threshold
UNDERSTANDING TRADE ZONES
When a signal generates, visual elements appear on the chart:
Entry Line (Purple) marks the entry price level
TP1 Line (Blue Dashed) marks the first take-profit target
TP2 Line (Cyan Dashed) marks the final take-profit target
SL Line (Orange Dotted) marks the stop-loss level
Trade Zone Box shows shaded area from SL to TP2
These elements extend forward as price progresses. When TP1 is hit, its line becomes solid to indicate achievement. When the trade completes at either TP2 or SL, all elements are cleaned up and the entry label converts to a compact ghost label for historical reference.
Exit Labels Explained:
+X.XX% indicates first target reached with partial profit secured
+X.XX% indicates full target reached with maximum profit achieved
-X.XX% indicates stop-loss triggered
TP1 Hit, SL... indicates stopped out after TP1 was already hit (optional display)
OPPOSITE SIGNAL HANDLING
When market conditions shift dramatically, the engine may generate a signal in the opposite direction while an existing trade is active. This represents a significant change in confluence and is handled automatically:
Automatic Trade Reversal Process:
1. Detection: New signal triggers opposite to current trade direction (e.g., SHORT signal while LONG trade is active)
2. Current Trade Closure:
- All visual elements (entry line, TP/SL lines, trade zone) are deleted
- Current trade is marked as closed
3. Entry Label Conversion:
- The detailed entry label is converted to a compact ghost label
- Ghost label shows direction + score (e.g., "LONG 75")
- Marked with "OPP" outcome to indicate opposite signal closure
- Moved to a non-interfering position below/above price
4. New Trade Initialization:
- Fresh entry label created for new direction
- New TP1, TP2, SL levels calculated based on new signal quality
- Trade zone and price lines drawn for new trade
Example Scenario:
You enter a LONG trade at score 72. Price moves sideways for 8 bars, then market structure breaks down. Confluence shifts heavily bearish with a sweep reclaim bear + momentum + volume spike, generating a SHORT signal at score 81. The engine automatically:
- Closes the LONG trade
- Converts "LONG 72" entry label to a small ghost label
- Opens new SHORT trade at current price
- Displays new SHORT entry label with full trade details
Trading Implication:
This behavior ensures the engine is always aligned with the highest-probability direction based on current confluence. It prevents you from holding a position when all five factors have flipped against you.
Note: This does NOT happen for every small score change. The opposite signal must meet all signal generation requirements (minimum score, gate pass, regime check, HTF alignment) before triggering. Typically occurs during strong trend reversals or major support/resistance breaks.

Interpretation
The engine produced a standard short (Score 64) while the market showed elevated volume and volatility but no HTF confirmation. Although the Gate passed (3/3), Structure = 0 blocks the indicator from issuing fresh entries — this is intentional and by design: one missing factor (structure) is enough to prevent new signals even when other factors look supportive. The currently open short is being managed (partial targets and SL visible), but the system's recommendation is to manage the existing trade only and not open new shorts until structure or HTF alignment improves.
Why this example matters (teaching point)
-Gate ≠ Go: Gate pass (factor count) alone does not force fresh trades — the system enforces additional checks (structure, regime, HTF) to avoid lower-quality setups.
-Volume & Volatility are necessary but not sufficient: High volume and wide ATR create movement but do not replace structural validation.
-Active trade vs new entries: The script will continue to manage an already open trade but will not create a new signal while a blocking factor remains. This prevents overtrading and reduces false positives.
-Practical trader actions shown by the example
-Manage existing SHORT only: Trail to breakeven if TP1 is taken; scale out at TP1; hold remaining if price respects trend and structure reclaims.
-Do not add fresh positions: Wait for Structure > 0 or a HTF alignment that lifts the block.
-Watch for signals that matter: Sweep reclaim, HTF alignment turning bullish for shorts (i.e., HTF changes to BEAR), or a squeeze release with volume spike — these can clear the blocker and validate new entries.
RECOMMENDED TIMEFRAMES
For Scalping on 1m, 5m, or 15m charts: Use higher factor thresholds and shorter cooldowns. The faster pace requires stricter filtering.
For Day Trading on 15m, 30m, or 1H charts: This provides a balance of signal frequency and reliability suitable for most active traders.
For Swing Trading on 1H, 4H, or Daily charts: Expect higher quality signals with longer hold periods and fewer false signals.
For Position Trading on Daily or Weekly charts: Focus on ULTRA signals only for maximum conviction on longer-term positions.
Higher Timeframe Alignment Recommendations:
When trading 5m, use 1H as your HTF
When trading 15m, use 1H or 4H as your HTF
When trading 1H, use 4H or Daily as your HTF
When trading 4H, use Daily as your HTF
The general rule is to select an HTF that is 4 to 12 times your trading timeframe.
TRADING STYLE PRESETS
Balanced (Default)
Equal weighting across all five factors at 20% each. Suitable for most market conditions and recommended as starting point.
Scalper
Emphasizes Volume at 30% and Volatility at 30%. Designed for quick in-and-out trades on lower timeframes where immediate momentum and volatility expansion matter most.
Swing Trader
Emphasizes Structure at 30% and Momentum at 30%. Focuses on catching larger moves where trend direction and key levels are paramount.
Range Trader
Emphasizes Structure at 35% and Pattern at 25%. Optimized for sideways markets where support/resistance levels and reversal patterns dominate.
Trend Follower
Emphasizes Momentum at 40%. Designed for trending markets where staying with the dominant direction is the priority.
QUALITY MODE SETTINGS
Custom Mode
Set your own minimum score threshold. Lower thresholds between 60 and 65 generate more signals but with lower average quality. Higher thresholds of 75 or above generate fewer but higher-quality signals.
High Quality Mode
Uses minimum score of 70. Recommended for most users as it filters out marginal setups while still providing reasonable signal frequency.
Ultra Only Mode
Uses minimum score of 80 for maximum selectivity. Only the highest-conviction setups generate signals. Recommended for swing and position traders or during uncertain market conditions.
REGIME DETECTION
The engine continuously evaluates market conditions and classifies them into five states:
TREND UP
Characteristics: Strong ADX reading with EMAs aligned in bullish order
Trading Implications: Long signals receive score boost while short signals are suppressed. Momentum factor gains additional weight.
TREND DN
Characteristics: Strong ADX reading with EMAs aligned in bearish order
Trading Implications: Short signals receive score boost while long signals are suppressed. Momentum factor gains additional weight.
VOLATILE
Characteristics: High ATR percentile, wide Bollinger Bands, elevated volume
Trading Implications: Both directions remain viable but wider stops are recommended. Volume factor gains additional weight.
RANGE
Characteristics: Low ADX reading, narrow Bollinger Bands, low ATR percentile
Trading Implications: Structure signals are emphasized while momentum signals are suppressed. Pattern recognition becomes more important.
WEAK
Characteristics: Unclear or mixed conditions that do not fit other categories
Trading Implications: Reduced confidence in all signals. Consider waiting for clearer market conditions.
Filter Mode Options:
Off - Regime is detected and displayed but no score adjustments are applied
Adjust Scores - Automatically modifies factor weights based on current regime
Block Weak Regimes - Prevents signals from generating when regime is RANGE or WEAK
VOLATILITY SQUEEZE DETECTION
A volatility squeeze occurs when Bollinger Bands contract inside the Keltner Channel, indicating reduced volatility and potential energy building for a breakout.
Squeeze States Explained:
SQZ with bar count (example: SQZ 15)
Indicates currently in squeeze for the displayed number of bars. A score penalty is applied during this phase because compression represents uncertainty about direction.
REL+ (Release Bullish)
Indicates squeeze has released with price above the basis line. Score bonus is applied for long setups as this often precedes strong upward moves.
REL- (Release Bearish)
Indicates squeeze has released with price below the basis line. Score bonus is applied for short setups as this often precedes strong downward moves.
NORM (Normal)
No active squeeze detected. Standard scoring applies.
Trading Implication:
Squeeze releases often produce strong directional moves. The engine detects both the squeeze duration and the release direction, awarding bonus points to signals that align with the release. Longer squeeze duration often corresponds to more powerful breakouts.
LIQUIDITY SWEEP DETECTION
Markets often sweep beyond obvious support and resistance levels to trigger stops before reversing. The engine detects these patterns:
Bullish Sweep Reclaim
Price sweeps below recent swing low, triggering stop losses, then reclaims back above the swing low. This often indicates smart money accumulation after retail stops are collected.
Bearish Sweep Reclaim
Price sweeps above recent swing high, triggering stop losses, then reclaims back below the swing high. This often indicates smart money distribution after retail stops are collected.
Sweep Status in Dashboard:
RCL (Reclaim) - Reclaim has been confirmed. This receives highest structure score as the pattern is complete.
PND (Pending) - Sweep has occurred and price is near the level but full reclaim not yet confirmed. Watching for completion.
ACT (Active) - Sweep is currently in progress with price beyond the swing level.
Dash (-) - No sweep activity detected.
MULTI-FACTOR GATE SYSTEM
Beyond overall score, the engine counts how many individual factors meet their activation threshold.
Example Calculation:
Structure score 45 with threshold 35 equals ACTIVE
Momentum score 25 with threshold 30 equals INACTIVE
Volume score 50 with threshold 35 equals ACTIVE
Volatility score 40 with threshold 30 equals ACTIVE
Pattern score 35 with threshold 30 equals ACTIVE
Result: 4 of 5 factors are active
If minimum required factors is set to 3, this example passes the gate and receives a 4-factor bonus.
Gate Bonuses:
4 factors active adds 8 points to final score (default setting)
5 factors active adds 15 points to final score (perfect confluence)
Purpose:
This mechanism prevents scenarios where one extremely high factor score masks four weak factors. A score of 75 with only 2 active factors is less reliable than a score of 70 with 4 active factors.
ADAPTIVE RISK MANAGEMENT
Take-profit and stop-loss distances adjust dynamically based on three inputs:
Volatility Influence (default 40% weight)
Low ATR percentile produces tighter targets
High ATR percentile produces wider targets
This ensures stops are not too tight in volatile conditions or too wide in calm conditions.
Regime Influence (default 30% weight)
Trending market with aligned signal produces extended targets
Ranging market produces contracted targets
Volatile regime produces wider stops for protection
Score Influence (default 30% weight)
ULTRA signals (high conviction) receive extended targets
STANDARD signals receive standard targets
Higher conviction justifies larger profit expectations.
You can configure the weight of each influence in settings to match your trading style.
SESSION FILTER (Optional Feature)
When enabled, the engine applies score multipliers based on the trading session:
Asian Session (default 0.9x multiplier)
Characterized by lower volatility and ranging tendency. Score reduction reflects reduced opportunity.
London Session (default 1.1x multiplier)
Characterized by high volatility and trend initiation. Score boost reflects increased opportunity.
London/NY Overlap (default 1.2x multiplier)
Characterized by highest liquidity and strongest moves. Maximum score boost reflects peak trading conditions.
New York Session (default 1.05x multiplier)
Characterized by volatility but typically after initial moves have occurred.
Configure your UTC offset in settings to align session detection with your chart timezone.

AUTOMATIC SETTINGS VALIDATION
The indicator performs comprehensive validation when first loaded on a chart. If configuration errors are detected, a warning label appears on the chart with specific guidance.
Critical Errors (Prevent Signal Generation):
ULTRA threshold must exceed HIGH threshold
- Example error: HIGH = 75, ULTRA = 70
- Fix: Ensure ULTRA threshold is higher than HIGH threshold
- Default safe values: HIGH = 70, ULTRA = 80
Minimum factors cannot exceed 5
- The gate requires 3 to 5 factors (you cannot require 6 of 5 factors)
- Fix: Set minimum active factors to 3, 4, or 5
TP2 multiplier must exceed TP1 multiplier
- Example error: TP1 = 3.0 ATR, TP2 = 2.0 ATR
- Fix: Ensure TP2 (final target) is farther than TP1 (partial target)
- Default safe values: TP1 = 2.0, TP2 = 5.0
Swing lookback minimum is 3 bars
- Liquidity sweep detection requires at least 3 bars to identify swing highs/lows
- Fix: Increase swing lookback period to 3 or higher
ATR period minimum is 5 bars
- ATR calculation requires sufficient data for accuracy
- Fix: Increase ATR period to 5 or higher (14 recommended)
Higher timeframe must be larger than chart timeframe
- Example error: Trading on 1H chart with MTF set to 15m
- Fix: Select HTF that is 4-12x your chart timeframe
- Example: If trading 15m, use 1H or 4H as HTF
Warnings (Signal Generation Continues):
Score threshold below 50 generates many signals
- Lower thresholds increase signal frequency but reduce quality
- Recommendation: Use minimum 60 for active trading, 70+ for swing trading
Cooldown below 3 bars may cause signal clustering
- Very short cooldowns can produce multiple signals in quick succession
- Recommendation: Use 5+ bars for lower timeframes, 3+ for higher timeframes

DEBUG MODE AND FACTOR MARKERS
The indicator includes optional debug tools for traders who want deeper insight into the scoring mechanics and factor analysis. These features are disabled by default to keep the chart clean but can be enabled in the Debug Mode settings group.
FACTOR MARKERS
When "Show Factor Markers" is enabled, visual shapes appear on the chart indicating confluence states:
Perfect Confluence (5/5 Factors Active)
A circle appears below the bar for bullish or above the bar for bearish setups. This represents maximum confluence where all five analytical dimensions meet their activation thresholds simultaneously. A small label showing "5/5" also appears. This is a rare occurrence and typically precedes the highest quality signals. Background color shifts to highlight this exceptional alignment.
Strong Confluence (4/5 Factors Active)
A diamond shape appears below the bar for bullish or above the bar for bearish setups. This represents strong confluence with four of five factors active. A label showing "4/5" appears when this state is first achieved. This level of confluence is associated with high-quality setups.
Ready Confluence (3/5 Factors Active)
A triangle appears below the bar (pointing up) for bullish or above the bar (pointing down) for bearish setups. This represents the minimum confluence level required when gate is set to 3 factors. No label appears for this level to reduce visual clutter.
Confluence Background
When factor markers are enabled, a subtle background color appears indicating the current confluence state. Stronger colors indicate higher confluence levels. Bullish confluence shows green tints while bearish confluence shows red tints.
Purpose of Factor Markers:
These markers help traders visualize when confluence is building before a signal triggers. You might see a 4/5 diamond appear one or two bars before the actual signal, giving you advance notice that conditions are aligning. This can help with preparation and timing.
DEBUG PANEL (Bottom Right)
When any debug option is enabled, a debug panel appears in the bottom right corner of the chart providing detailed scoring information.
Score Breakdown Table
When "Show Score Breakdown" is enabled, the panel displays:
Factor column showing Structure, Momentum, Volume, Volatility, and Pattern
Bull column showing raw score (0-100) for each bullish factor
Bear column showing raw score (0-100) for each bearish factor
Weight column showing current percentage weight for each factor
Below the factor rows :
FINAL row shows the calculated final Bull and Bear scores after all adjustments
Adj row shows total adjustments applied including gate bonus, squeeze adjustment, and exhaustion adjustment with positive or negative sign
This breakdown allows you to see exactly which factors are contributing to the score and which are lagging. If you notice Structure consistently low, you know to wait for better price positioning relative to swing levels.
Regime Debug
When "Show Regime Debug" is enabled, the panel displays:
Current regime state (TREND UP, TREND DN, VOLATILE, RANGE, WEAK)
Current ADX value driving the regime classification
This helps you understand why certain score adjustments are being applied and verify the regime detection is working as expected for current market conditions.
MTF Debug
When "Show MTF Debug" is enabled, the panel displays:
Current MTF alignment status (BULL, BEAR, NEUT)
The higher timeframe being analyzed
This confirms the higher timeframe data is being read correctly and shows you the trend bias from the larger timeframe perspective.
Using Debug Mode Effectively
For Learning: Enable all debug options when first using the indicator to understand how scores are calculated and what drives signal generation.
For Optimization: Use score breakdown to identify which factors are consistently weak in your chosen market and timeframe. This can inform whether to adjust factor thresholds or switch trading styles.
For Troubleshooting: If signals seem inconsistent, enable debug to see exactly what values the engine is working with. This helps identify if a specific factor is behaving unexpectedly.
For Live Trading: Disable debug features to keep chart clean and reduce visual distraction. The main dashboards provide sufficient information for trade execution.
Debug Settings Summary:
Show Factor Markers - Displays shapes on chart when 3, 4, or 5 factors align. Useful for seeing confluence build before signals trigger.
Show Score Breakdown - Displays detailed table with all raw factor scores, weights, and adjustments. Useful for understanding exactly how final score is calculated.
Show Regime Debug - Adds regime state and ADX value to debug panel. Useful for verifying regime detection accuracy.
Show MTF Debug - Adds higher timeframe status and timeframe to debug panel. Useful for confirming MTF data is loading correctly.
PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS
On lower timeframes such as 1-minute and 5-minute charts, the indicator creates visual elements including labels, lines, and boxes that may impact performance on slower devices.
Performance Mode automatically reduces visual elements, optimizes calculation frequency, and limits historical ghost labels when enabled.
Configure Max Ghost Labels (default 50) to control how many historical signal labels are retained on the chart.
NON-REPAINTING DESIGN
Signal Integrity:
All entry and exit signals generate only on confirmed (closed) bars using barstate.isconfirmed checks. This ensures signals do not appear and disappear during bar formation.
Higher Timeframe Data:
MTF analysis uses request.security with lookahead disabled (barmerge.lookahead_off) to prevent future data from influencing current calculations.
Visual Elements:
Lines, boxes, and labels for active trades update in real-time for monitoring purposes but this visual updating does not affect signal generation logic. Entry decisions are made solely on confirmed bar data.

IntellyBot Spike ProIntellyBot Spike Pro
IntellyBot Spike Pro helps you quickly spot unusual market activity and highlights only the signals that truly matter. It cuts out the noise and marks candles where something “big” is happening – whether it's strong buying, strong selling, or a possible trend reversal.
What the script does for you
Detects real volume spikes:
It identifies moments when trading activity suddenly increases, often caused by large market orders or the start of a new move.
Generates clean Buy and Sell signals:
A signal is only shown when multiple conditions line up (trend direction, candle strength, momentum, etc.). This reduces false alerts and keeps things simple.
Spots absorption (hidden strength or weakness):
The script highlights candles where volume is high but price barely moves.
This can be a sign that big players are absorbing orders before a potential reversal.
No repainting:
All signals are based on confirmed candles and will not change later.
Includes a visual dashboard:
A small on-chart panel shows key information at a glance, such as trend, volume strength, efficiency, oscillator reading, and active signals.
Perfect for traders who want to…
use volume as an early indicator
catch real breakouts and avoid fake moves
identify trend shifts sooner
get clean, visual signals without combining many tools
Dynamic Support and Resistance with Trend LinesMain Purpose
The indicator identifies and visualizes dynamic support and resistance levels using multiple strategies, plus it includes trend analysis and trading signals.
Key Components:
1. Two Support/Resistance Strategies:
Strategy A: Matrix Climax
Identifies the top 10 (configurable) most significant support and resistance levels
Uses a "matrix" calculation method to find price levels where the market has historically reacted
Shows these as horizontal lines or zones on the chart
Strategy B: Volume Extremes
Finds support/resistance levels based on volume analysis
Looks for areas where extreme volume occurred, which often become key price levels
2. Two Trend Line Systems:
Trend Line 1: Pivot Span
Draws trend lines connecting pivot high and pivot low points
Uses configurable pivot parameters (left: 5, right: 5 bars)
Creates a channel showing the trend direction
Styled in pink/purple with dashed lines
Trend Line 2: 5-Point Channel
Creates a channel based on 5 pivot points
Provides another perspective on trend direction
Solid lines in pink/purple
3. Trading Signals:
Buy Signal: Triggers when Fast EMA (9-period) crosses above Slow EMA (21-period)
Sell Signal: Triggers when Fast EMA crosses below Slow EMA

## 🎯 THE TIER SYSTEM
The tier system classifies candles by **point movement** to determine trade management:
| Tier | Points | Action | Expected R:R |
|:----:|:------:|:------:|:------------:|
| 🥇 **S-TIER** | 100+ | HOLD LONGER | 2:1+ |
| 🥈 **A-TIER** | 50-99 | HOLD A BIT | 1.5:1 |
| 🥉 **B-TIER** | 10-49 | CLOSE QUICK | 1:1 |
| ❌ **NO TIER** | < 10 | NO TRADE | — |
---
## ✅ SIGNAL REQUIREMENTS
**ALL conditions must be TRUE for a signal:**
```
SIGNAL = TIER + VOLUME + DELTA + DIRECTION + SESSION
☐ Points ≥ 10 (minimum B-tier)
☐ Volume ≥ 1.3x average
☐ Delta dominance ≥ 55%
☐ Candle direction = Delta direction
☐ In session (if filter ON)
ANY FALSE = NO SIGNAL = NO TRADE
```
---
## 📊 VOLUME DOMINANCE ANALYSIS
This is the **core edge** of GRA v5. We use intrabar analysis to determine who is in control:
```
VOLUME ANALYSIS BREAKDOWN
Total Volume = Buy Volume + Sell Volume
Buy Volume: Who pushed price UP within the bar
Sell Volume: Who pushed price DOWN within the bar
Delta = Buy Volume - Sell Volume
Buy Dominance = Buy Volume / Total Volume
Sell Dominance = Sell Volume / Total Volume
≥ 55% = ONE SIDE IN CONTROL
≥ 65% = STRONG DOMINANCE (high conviction)
```
**Direction Confirmation Matrix:**
| Candle | Delta | Signal |
|:-------|:------|:-------|
| 🟢 Bullish | 55%+ Buyers | ✅ LONG |
| 🟢 Bullish | 55%+ Sellers | ❌ Trap |
| 🔴 Bearish | 55%+ Sellers | ✅ SHORT |

## 🕐 SESSION CONTEXT
### Initial Balance (IB) Framework
The **first hour** of each session establishes the IB range. Institutions use this for the day's framework.
```
SESSION WINDOWS (Eastern Time):
LONDON:
├── IB Period: 03:00 - 04:00 ← Range established
├── Trade Window: 03:00 - 05:00 ← Best signals
└── Extension Targets: 1.5x, 2.0x
NY:
├── IB Period: 09:30 - 10:30 ← Range established
├── Trade Window: 09:30 - 11:30 ← Best signals
└── Extension Targets: 1.5x, 2.0x
```
### IB Breakout Signals
```
L▲ / L▼ = London IB Breakout (Blue)
N▲ / N▼ = NY IB Breakout (Orange)
Confirmation Required:
☐ Close beyond IB level (not just wick)
☐ Impulse candle (body > 60% of range)
☐ Volume > 1.3x average
```
**IB Statistics:**
- 97% of days break either IB high or low
- 1.5x extension = first profit target
- 2.0x extension = full range target
- ~66% of London sessions sweep Asian high/low first

*Precision Futures Scalping*
Dynamic Support and Resistance with Trend LinesDynamic Support and Resistance with Trend Lines (DSRTL)
1. Introduction & Methodology
The DSRTL indicator is designed to provide a multidimensional analysis of market structure. Unlike traditional tools that rely solely on price pivots, this script combines Static Volume-based Zones with Dynamic Trend Lines to evaluate the price's position relative to critical market components.
The S/R Identification Technique
Instead of standard pivot points, DSRTL utilizes Volume Analysis to highlight areas of significant trader participation:
- Strategy A:
Matrix Climax: Identifies candles within the lookback period that are near price extremes (Highs/Lows) and coincide with significant buying or selling volume.
- Strategy B:
Volume Extremes: Detects candles with the absolute highest buy/sell volumes within the selected lookback window, creating extreme volume-based S/R zones.
- Result:
This creates Support/Resistance (S/R) zones that are validated by actual market activity, not just price geometry.
Dynamic Trend Lines
To complement the static zones, the indicator employs two adaptive channel methods:
- Pivot Span: Connects recent significant pivots for a fast, reactive trend corridor.
- 5-Point Channel: Segments the lookback period into 5 parts to perform a linear regression analysis, creating a stable and statistically significant channel.
2. Volume Calculation Methodology
Accurate S/R detection requires distinguishing Buy Volume from Sell Volume. DSRTL offers two calculation modes:
- Geometry (Source File): Estimates buy/sell volume based on the Close price's position relative to the High/Low of the candle.
Note: This is an approximation that works on all plan types as it does not require intrabar data.
- Intrabar (Precise): Analyzes historical lower-timeframe data (e.g., 15S) to calculate intrabar-based volume deltas with higher precision compared to the geometric method.
Note: This offers superior accuracy. It requires access to historical intrabar data (depending on your plan limits). For the best analytical results, use this mode if available.
3. The Smart Matrix Engine (3D Analysis)
The core of DSRTL is its dashboard, powered by the "Smart Matrix Engine." This engine evaluates the current price in a multi-layer market structure context (Static Volume Zones + Dynamic Channels + Volume Metrics).:
A. S-State (Static): Where is the price relative to the Volume S/R zones?
B. D-State (Dynamic): Where is the price relative to the Trend Channels?
How to read the Matrix Map:
The dashboard displays a 5x5 grid representing 25 possible market scenarios.
- Rows (S1-S5): Represent the Static State (S1=Breakout, S3=Mid-Range, S5=Breakdown).
- Columns (D1-D5): Represent the Dynamic State (D1=Overextended Up, D3=Neutral, D5=Overextended Down).
- Active Cell: Marked with a dot, indicating the specific intersection of price action and market structure.
4. Matrix Interpretations (The 25 Scenarios)

DISCLAIMER & EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE
This indicator is strictly an educational tool designed to visualize complex market structure concepts. Its primary purpose is to help traders "bridge the gap" between academic theory and real-time market behavior by providing a visual representation of support, resistance, and volume dynamics.
Please Note:
1. Not a Trading Strategy: This script is an analytical assistant, not a standalone "Black Box" trading system. It does not generate buy or sell signals that should be followed blindly.
2. No Financial Advice: The data provided by this tool is for informational purposes only. It is not a recommendation to buy or sell any asset.
3. Risk Warning: Trading involves significant risk. Always use your own judgment, perform your own technical analysis, and use proper risk management. Do not use this tool as the sole basis for your trading decisions.
4. Data Precision & Platform Limits: The "Intrabar (Precise)" calculation mode relies on high-resolution historical data to provide exact results. Access to this specific data depth depends entirely on your platform's subscription capabilities. If your plan does not support this level of historical intrabar data, the Precise mode may have limited coverage. In that case, you should switch to "Geometry" mode for a fully populated view.

KEY FEATURES
1. TREND DURATION ANALYSIS SYSTEM - The Core Innovation
The statistical analysis engine is what sets this indicator apart from standard SuperTrend systems. It doesn't just identify trend changes - it provides statistical analysis of potential duration.
How It Works:
Step 1: Historical Tracking
• Automatically records every completed SuperTrend trend (duration in bars)
• Maintains separate databases for bullish trends and bearish trends
• Stores up to 15 most recent trends of each type
• Captures market conditions at each trend flip: volume ratio, ATR ratio, quality score, price distance from SuperTrend, proximity to support/resistance
Step 2: Similarity Matching (k-Nearest Neighbors)
• When new trend begins, system compares current conditions to ALL historical flips
• Calculates similarity score based on:
- Volume similarity (30% weight) - Is volume behaving similarly?
- Volatility similarity (30% weight) - Is ATR/volatility similar?
- Quality similarity (20% weight) - Is setup strength comparable?
- Distance similarity (10% weight) - Is price distance from ST similar?
- Support/Resistance proximity (10% weight) - Similar structural context?
• Selects the 15 MOST SIMILAR historical trends (not just all trends)
• This is like asking: "When conditions looked like this before, how long did trends last?"
Step 3: Statistical Analysis
• Calculates median duration (most common outcome)
• Calculates average duration (mean of similar trends)
• Determines realistic range (min to max of similar trends)
• Applies exponential weighting (recent trends weighted more heavily)
• Outputs confidence-weighted statistical estimate
Step 4: Advanced Intelligence (Advanced Mode Only)
The Advanced mode applies five sophisticated multipliers to refine estimates:
A) Market Structure Multiplier (±30%):
• Detects nearby support/resistance levels using pivot detection
• If flip occurs NEAR a key level: Estimate adjusted -30% (expect bounce/rejection)
• If flip occurs in open space: Estimate adjusted +30% (clear path for continuation)
• Uses configurable lookback period and ATR-based proximity threshold
B) Asset Type Multiplier (±40%):
• Adjusts duration estimates based on asset volatility characteristics
• Small Cap / Biotech: +40% (explosive, extended moves)
• Tech Growth: +20% (momentum-driven, longer trends)
• Blue Chip / Large Cap: 0% (baseline, steady trends)
• Dividend / Value: -20% (slower, grinding trends)
• Cyclical: Variable based on macro regime
• Crypto / High Volatility: +30% (parabolic potential)
C) Flip Strength Multiplier (±20%):
• Analyzes the QUALITY of the trend flip itself
• Strong flip (high volume + expanding ATR + quality score 60+): +20%
• Weak flip (low volume + contracting ATR + quality score under 40): -20%
• Logic: Historical data shows that powerful flips tend to be followed by longer trends
D) Error Learning Multiplier (±15%):
• Tracks Statistical accuracy over last 10 completed trends
• Calculates error ratio: (estimated duration / Actual Duration)
• If system consistently over-estimates: Apply -15% correction
• If system consistently under-estimates: Apply +15% correction
• Learns and adapts to current market regime
E) Regime Detection Multiplier (±20%):
• Analyzes last 3 trends of SAME TYPE (bull-to-bull or bear-to-bear)
• Compares recent trend durations to historical average
• If recent trends 20%+ longer than average: +20% adjustment (trending regime detected)
• If recent trends 20%+ shorter than average: -20% adjustment (choppy regime detected)
• Detects whether market is in trending or mean-reversion mode
Three analysis modes:
SIMPLE MODE - Basic Statistics
• Uses raw median of similar trends only
• No multipliers, no adjustments
• Best for: Beginners, clean trending markets
• Fastest calculations, minimal complexity
STANDARD MODE - Full Statistical Analysis

• Balance of accuracy and simplicity
ADVANCED MODE - Statistics + Intelligence
• Everything in Standard mode PLUS
• All 5 advanced multipliers (structure, asset type, flip strength, learning, regime)
• Highest Statistical accuracy in testing
• Best for: Experienced traders, volatile/complex markets
• Maximum intelligence, most adaptive
Visual Duration Analysis Box:
When a new trend begins (SuperTrend flip), a box appears on your chart showing:
• Analysis Mode (Simple / Standard / Advanced)
• Number of historical trends analyzed
• Median expected duration (most likely outcome)
• Average expected duration (mean of similar trends)
• Range (minimum to maximum from similar trends)
• Advanced multipliers breakdown (Advanced mode only)
• Backtest accuracy statistics (if available)
The box extends from the flip bar to the estimated endpoint based on historical data, giving you a visual target for trend duration. Box updates in real-time as trend progresses.
Backtest & Accuracy Tracking:
• System backtests its own duration estimates using historical data
• Shows accuracy metrics: how well duration estimates matched actual durations
• Tracks last 10 completed duration estimates separately
• Displays statistics in dashboard and duration analysis boxes
• Helps you understand statistical reliability on your specific symbol/timeframe
Anti-Repaint Guarantee:
• duration analysis boxes only appear AFTER bar close (barstate.isconfirmed)
• Historical duration estimates never disappear or change
• What you see in history is exactly what you would have seen real-time
• No future data leakage, no lookahead bias

Below 30 points - WEAK:
• Minimal confirmations
• Low probability setup
• Consider passing
• Only for aggressive traders in strong trends
Only signals meeting your minimum quality threshold (configurable per preset) generate alerts and labels.
4. MULTI-TIMEFRAME CONFLUENCE ANALYSIS
The system can simultaneously analyze trend alignment across 6 timeframes (optional feature):
Timeframes analyzed:
• 5-minute (scalping context)
• 15-minute (intraday momentum)
• 1-hour (day trading bias)
• 4-hour (swing context)
• Daily (primary trend)
• Weekly (macro trend)
Confluence Interpretation:
• 5-6/6 aligned - Very strong multi-timeframe agreement (highest confidence)
• 3-4/6 aligned - Moderate agreement (standard setup)
• 1-2/6 aligned - Weak agreement (caution advised)
Dashboard shows real-time alignment count with color-coding. Higher confluence typically correlates with longer, stronger trends.
5. VOLUME MOMENTUM FILTER - Institutional Money Flow
Unlike traditional volume indicators that just measure size, Volume Momentum tracks the RATE OF CHANGE in volume:
How it works:
• Compares short-term volume average (fast period) to long-term average (slow period)
• Ratio above 1.0 = Volume accelerating (money flowing IN)
• Ratio above 1.2 = Strong acceleration (institutional participation likely)
• Ratio below 0.8 = Volume decelerating (money flowing OUT)
Why it matters:
• Confirms trend with actual money flow, not just price
• Leading indicator (volume often leads price)
• Catches accumulation/distribution before breakouts
• More intuitive than complex mathematical filters
Integration with signals:
• Optional filter - can be enabled/disabled per preset
• When enabled: Only signals with rising volume momentum fire
• AUTO-DISABLED in Scalping mode (too restrictive for fast trading)
• Configurable fast/slow periods per trading style
6. ADAPTIVE SUPERTREND MULTIPLIER
Traditional SuperTrend uses fixed ATR multiplier. This system dynamically adjusts the multiplier (0.8x to 1.2x base) based on:
• Trend Strength: Price correlation over lookback period
• Volume Weight: Current volume relative to average
Benefits:
• Tighter bands in calm markets (less premature exits)
• Wider bands in volatile conditions (avoids whipsaws)
• Better adaptation to biotech, small-cap, and crypto volatility
• Optional - can be disabled for classic constant multiplier
7. VISUAL GRADIENT RIBBON
26-layer exponential gradient fill between price and SuperTrend line provides instant visual trend strength assessment:
Color System:
• Green shades - Bullish trend + volume confirmation (strongest)
• Blue shades - Bullish trend, normal volume
• Orange shades - Bearish trend + volume confirmation
• Red shades - Bearish trend (weakest)
Opacity varies based on:
• Distance from SuperTrend (farther = more opaque)
• Volume intensity (higher volume = stronger color)
The ribbon provides at-a-glance trend strength without cluttering your chart. Can be toggled on/off.
8. INTELLIGENT ALERT SYSTEM
Two-tier alert architecture for flexibility:
Automatic Alerts:
• Fire automatically on BUY and SELL signals
• Include full context: quality score, volume state, volume momentum
• One alert per bar close (alert.freq_once_per_bar_close)
• Message format: "BUY: Supertrend bullish + Quality: 65/70 | Volume: HIGH | Vol Momentum: STRONG (1.35x)"
Customizable Alert Conditions:
• Appear in TradingView's "Create Alert" dialog
• Three options: BUY Signal Only, SELL Signal Only, ANY Signal (BUY or SELL)
• Use TradingView placeholders: {{ticker}}, {{interval}}, {{close}}, {{time}}
• Fully customizable message templates
All alerts use barstate.isconfirmed - Zero repaint guarantee.
9. ANTI-REPAINT ARCHITECTURE
Every component guaranteed non-repainting:
• Entry signals: Only appear after bar close
• duration analysis boxes: Created only on confirmed SuperTrend flips
• Informative labels: Wait for bar confirmation
• Alerts: Fire once per closed bar
• Multi-timeframe data: Uses lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off
What you see in history is exactly what you would have seen in real-time. No disappearing signals, no changed duration estimates.
HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
QUICK START - 3 Steps to Trading:

USING duration analysis boxES FOR TRADE MANAGEMENT:
Entry Timing:
• Enter on SuperTrend flip (signal bar close)
• duration analysis box appears simultaneously
• Note the median duration - this is your expected hold time
Profit Targets:
• Conservative: Use MEDIAN duration as profit target (50% probability)
• Moderate: Use AVERAGE duration (mean of similar trends)
• Aggressive: Aim for MAX duration from range (best historical outcome)
Position Management:
• Scale out at median duration (take partial profits)
• Trail stop as trend extends beyond median
• Full exit at average duration or SuperTrend flip (whichever comes first)
• Re-evaluate if trend exceeds estimated range
analysis mode Selection:
• Simple: Clean trending markets, beginners, minimal complexity
• Standard: Most markets, most traders (recommended default)
• Advanced: Volatile markets, complex instruments, experienced traders seeking highest accuracy
Asset Type Configuration (Advanced Mode):
If using Advanced analysis mode, configure Asset Type for optimal accuracy:
• Small Cap: Stocks under $2B market cap, low liquidity
• Biotech / Speculative: Clinical-stage pharma, penny stocks, high-risk
• Blue Chip / Large Cap: S&P 500, mega-cap tech, stable large companies
• Tech Growth: High-growth tech (TSLA, NVDA, growth SaaS)
• Dividend / Value: Dividend aristocrats, value stocks, utilities
• Cyclical: Energy, materials, industrials (macro-driven)
• Crypto / High Volatility: Bitcoin, altcoins, highly volatile assets
Correct asset type selection improves Statistical accuracy by 15-20%.
RISK MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES:
1. Stop Loss Placement:
Long positions:
• Place stop below recent swing low OR
• Place stop below SuperTrend level (whichever is tighter)
• Use 1-2 ATR distance as guideline
• Recommended: SuperTrend level (built-in volatility adjustment)
Short positions:
• Place stop above recent swing high OR
• Place stop above SuperTrend level (whichever is tighter)
• Use 1-2 ATR distance as guideline
• Recommended: SuperTrend level
2. Position Sizing by Quality Score:
• Excellent (60-70): Maximum position size (2% risk per trade)
• Strong (45-59): Standard position size (1.5% risk per trade)
• Good (30-44): Reduced position size (1% risk per trade)
• Weak (Below 30): Pass or micro position (0.5% risk - learning trades only)
3. Exit Strategy Options:
Option A - Statistical Duration-Based Exit:
• Exit at median estimated duration (conservative)
• Exit at average estimated duration (moderate)
• Trail stop beyond average duration (aggressive)
Option B - Signal-Based Exit:
• Exit on opposite signal (SELL after BUY, or vice versa)
• Exit on SuperTrend flip (trend reversal)
• Exit if quality score drops below 30 mid-trend
Option C - Hybrid (Recommended):
• Take 50% profit at median estimated duration
• Trail stop on remaining 50% using SuperTrend as trailing level
• Full exit on SuperTrend flip or quality collapse
4. Trade Filtering:
For higher win-rate (fewer trades, better quality):
• Increase minimum quality score (try 60 for swing, 50 for day trading)
• Enable volume momentum filter (ensure institutional participation)
• Require higher MTF confluence (5-6/6 alignment)
• Use Advanced analysis mode with appropriate asset type
For more opportunities (more trades, lower quality threshold):
• Decrease minimum quality score (40 for day trading, 35 for scalping)
• Disable volume momentum filter
• Lower MTF confluence requirement
• Use Simple or Standard analysis mode

ADVANCED FEATURES
1. Scalpel Mode (Optional)
Advanced pullback entry system that waits for healthy retracements within established trends before signaling entry:
• Monitors price distance from SuperTrend levels
• Requires pullback to configurable range (default: 30-50%)
• Ensures trend remains intact before entry signal
• Reduces whipsaw and false breakouts
• Inspired by Mark Minervini's VCP pullback entries
Best for: Swing traders and day traders seeking precision entries
Scalpers: Consider disabling for faster entries
2. Error Learning System (Advanced analysis mode Only)
The system learns from its own estimation errors:
• Tracks last 10-20 completed duration estimates (configurable memory depth)
• Calculates error ratio for each: estimated duration / Actual Duration
• If system consistently over-estimates: Applies negative correction (-15%)
• If system consistently under-estimates: Applies positive correction (+15%)
• Adapts to current market regime automatically
This self-correction mechanism improves accuracy over time as the system gathers more data on your specific symbol and timeframe.
3. Regime Detection (Advanced analysis mode Only)
Automatically detects whether market is in trending or choppy regime:
• Compares last 3 trends to historical average
• Recent trends 20%+ longer → Trending regime (+20% to estimates)
• Recent trends 20%+ shorter → Choppy regime (-20% to estimates)
• Applied separately to bullish and bearish trends
Helps duration estimates adapt to changing market conditions without manual intervention.
4. Exponential Weighting
Option to weight recent trends more heavily than distant history:
• Default decay factor: 0.9
• Recent trends get higher weight in statistical calculations
• Older trends gradually decay in importance
• Rationale: Recent market behavior more relevant than old data
• Can be disabled for equal weighting
5. Backtest Statistics
System backtests its own duration estimates using historical data:
• Walks through past trends chronologically
• Calculates what duration estimate WOULD have been at each flip
• Compares to actual duration that occurred
• Displays accuracy metrics in duration analysis boxes and dashboard
• Helps assess statistical reliability on your specific chart
Note: Backtest uses only data available AT THE TIME of each historical flip (no lookahead bias).

KNOWN LIMITATIONS
• Trending Markets Only: Performs best in clear trends. May generate false signals in choppy/sideways markets (use quality score filtering and regime detection to mitigate)
• Lagging Nature: Like all trend-following systems, signals occur AFTER trend establishment, not at exact tops/bottoms. Use duration analysis boxes to set realistic profit targets.
• Initial Learning Period: Duration analysis system requires 10-15 completed trends to build reliable historical database. Early duration estimates less accurate (first few weeks on new symbol/timeframe).
• Visual Load: 26-layer gradient ribbon may slow performance on older devices. Disable ribbon if experiencing lag.
• Statistical accuracy Variables: Duration estimates are statistical estimates, not guarantees. Accuracy varies by:
- Market regime (trending vs choppy)
- Asset volatility characteristics
- Quality of historical pattern matches
- Timeframe traded (higher TF = more reliable)
• Not Best Suitable For:
- Ultra-short-term scalping (sub-1-minute charts)
- Mean-reversion strategies (designed for trend-following)
- Range-bound trading (requires trending conditions)
- News-driven spikes (estimates based on technical patterns, not fundamentals)
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Does this indicator repaint?
A: Absolutely not. All signals, duration analysis boxes, labels, and alerts use barstate.isconfirmed checks. They only appear after the bar closes. What you see in history is exactly what you would have seen in real-time. Zero repaint guarantee.
Q: How accurate are the trend duration estimates?
A: Accuracy varies by mode, market conditions, and historical data quality:
• Simple mode: 60-70% accuracy (within ±20% of actual duration)
• Standard mode: 70-80% accuracy (within ±20% of actual duration)
• Advanced mode: 75-85% accuracy (within ±20% of actual duration)
Best accuracy achieved on:
• Higher timeframes (4H, Daily, Weekly)
• Trending markets (not choppy/sideways)
• Assets with consistent behavior (Blue Chip, Large Cap)
• After 20+ historical trends analyzed (builds robust database)
Remember: All duration estimates are statistical calculations based on historical patterns, not guarantees.
Q: Which analysis mode should I use?
A:
• Simple: Beginners, clean trending markets, want minimal complexity
• Standard: Most traders, general market conditions (RECOMMENDED DEFAULT)
• Advanced: Experienced traders, volatile/complex markets (biotech, small-cap, crypto), seeking maximum accuracy
Advanced mode requires correct Asset Type configuration for optimal results.
Q: What's the difference between the trading style presets?
A: Each preset optimizes ALL parameters for a specific trading approach:
• Scalping: Ultra-sensitive (ATR 7, Mult 2.0), more signals, shorter holds
• Day Trading: Balanced (ATR 10, Mult 2.5), moderate signals, intraday holds
• Swing Trading: Stable (ATR 14, Mult 3.0), fewer signals, multi-day holds
• Position Trading: Very stable (ATR 21, Mult 4.0), rare signals, week/month holds
Auto mode automatically selects based on your chart timeframe.
Q: Should I use Auto mode or manually select a preset?
A: Auto mode is recommended for most traders. It automatically matches settings to your timeframe and re-optimizes if you switch charts. Only use manual preset selection if:
• You want scalping settings on a 15m chart (overriding auto-detection)
• You want swing settings on a 1h chart (more conservative than auto would give)
• You're testing different approaches on same timeframe
Q: Can I use this for scalping and day trading?
A: Absolutely! The preset system is specifically designed for all trading styles:
• Select "Scalping (1-5m)" for 1-5 minute charts
• Select "Day Trading (15m-1h)" for 15m-1h charts
• Or use "Auto" mode and it configures automatically
Volume momentum filter is auto-disabled in Scalping mode for faster signals.
Q: What is Volume Momentum and why does it matter?
A: Volume Momentum compares short-term volume (fast MA) to long-term volume (slow MA). It answers: "Is money flowing into this asset faster now than historically?"
Why it matters:
• Volume often leads price (early warning system)
• Confirms institutional participation (smart money)
• No lag like price-based indicators
• More intuitive than complex mathematical filters
When the ratio is above 1.2, you have strong evidence that institutions are accumulating (bullish) or distributing (bearish).
Q: How do I set up alerts?
A: Two options:
Option 1 - Automatic Alerts:
1. Right-click on chart → Add Alert
2. Condition: Select this indicator
3. Choose "Any alert() function call"
4. Configure notification method (app, email, webhook)
5. You'll receive detailed alerts on every BUY and SELL signal
Option 2 - Customizable Alert Conditions:
1. Right-click on chart → Add Alert
2. Condition: Select this indicator
3. You'll see three options in dropdown:
- "BUY Signal" (long signals only)
- "SELL Signal" (short signals only)
- "ANY Signal" (both BUY and SELL)
4. Choose desired option and customize message template
5. Uses TradingView placeholders: {{ticker}}, {{close}}, {{time}}, etc.
All alerts fire only on confirmed bar close (no repaint).
Q: What is Scalpel Mode and should I use it?
A: Scalpel Mode waits for healthy pullbacks within established trends before signaling entry. It reduces whipsaws and improves entry timing.
Recommended ON for:
• Swing traders (want precision entries on pullbacks)
• Day traders (willing to wait for better prices)
• Risk-averse traders (prefer fewer but higher-quality entries)
Recommended OFF for:
• Scalpers (need immediate entries, can't wait for pullbacks)
• Momentum traders (want to enter on breakout, not pullback)
• Aggressive traders (prefer more opportunities over precision)
Q: Why do some duration estimates show wider ranges than others?
A: Range width reflects historical trend variability:
• Narrow range: Similar historical trends had consistent durations (high confidence)
• Wide range: Similar historical trends had varying durations (lower confidence)
Wide ranges often occur:
• Early in analysis (fewer historical trends to learn from)
• In volatile/choppy markets (inconsistent trend behavior)
• On lower timeframes (more noise, less consistency)
The median and average still provide useful targets even when range is wide.
Q: Can I customize the dashboard position and appearance?
A: Yes! Dashboard settings include:
• Position: 9 options (Top/Middle/Bottom + Left/Center/Right)
• Text Size: Auto, Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, Huge
• Show/Hide: Toggle entire dashboard on/off
Choose position that doesn't overlap important price action on your specific chart.
Q: Which timeframe should I trade on?
A: Depends on your trading style and time availability:
• 1-5 minute: Active scalping, requires constant monitoring
• 15m-1h: Day trading, check few times per session
• 4h-Daily: Swing trading, check once or twice daily
• Daily-Weekly: Position trading, check weekly
General principle: Higher timeframes produce:
• Fewer signals (less frequent)
• Higher quality setups (stronger confirmations)
• More reliable duration estimates (better statistical data)
• Less noise (clearer trends)
Start with Daily chart if new to trading. Move to lower timeframes as you gain experience.
Q: Does this work on all markets (stocks, crypto, forex)?
A: Yes, it works on all markets with trending characteristics:
Excellent for:
• Stocks (especially growth and momentum names)
• Crypto (BTC, ETH, major altcoins)
• Futures (indices, commodities)
• Forex majors (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, etc.)
Best results on:
• Trending markets (not range-bound)
• Liquid instruments (tight spreads, good fills)
• Volatile assets (clear trend development)
Less effective on:
• Range-bound/sideways markets
• Ultra-low volatility instruments
• Illiquid small-caps (use caution)
Configure Asset Type (in Advanced analysis mode) to match your instrument for best accuracy.
Q: How many signals should I expect per day/week?
A: Highly variable based on:
By Timeframe:
• 1-5 minute: 5-15 signals per session
• 15m-1h: 2-5 signals per day
• 4h-Daily: 2-5 signals per week
• Daily-Weekly: 1-2 signals per month
By Market Volatility:
• High volatility = more SuperTrend flips = more signals
• Low volatility = fewer flips = fewer signals
By Quality Filter:
• Higher threshold (60-70) = fewer but better signals
• Lower threshold (30-40) = more signals, lower quality
By Volume Momentum Filter:
• Enabled = Fewer signals (only volume-confirmed)
• Disabled = More signals (all SuperTrend flips)
Adjust quality threshold and filters to match your desired signal frequency.
Q: What's the difference between entry labels and info labels?
A:
Entry Labels (BUY/SELL):
• Your primary trading signals
• Based on SuperTrend flip + all confirmations (quality, volume, momentum)
• Include quality score and confirmation icons
• These are actionable entry points
Info Labels (Volume Spike):
• Additional market context
• Show volume events that may support or contradict trend
• 8-bar cooldown to prevent spam
• NOT necessarily entry points - contextual information only
Control separately: Can show entry labels without info labels (recommended for clean charts).
Q: Can I combine this with other indicators?
A: Absolutely! This works well with:
• RSI: For divergences and overbought/oversold conditions
• Support/Resistance: Confluence with key levels
• Fibonacci Retracements: Pullback targets in Scalpel Mode
• Price Action Patterns: Flags, pennants, cup-and-handle
• MACD: Additional momentum confirmation
• Bollinger Bands: Volatility context
This indicator provides trend direction and duration estimates - complement with other tools for entry refinement and additional confluence.
Q: Why did I get a low-quality signal? Can I filter them out?
A: Yes! Increase the Minimum Quality Score in settings.
If you're seeing signals with quality below your preference:
• Day Trading: Set minimum to 50
• Swing Trading: Set minimum to 60
• Position Trading: Set minimum to 70
Only signals meeting the threshold will appear. This reduces frequency but improves win-rate.
Q: How do I interpret the MTF Confluence count?
A: Shows how many of 6 timeframes agree with current trend:
• 6/6 aligned: Perfect agreement (extremely rare, highest confidence)
• 5/6 aligned: Very strong alignment (high confidence)
• 4/6 aligned: Good alignment (standard quality setup)
• 3/6 aligned: Moderate alignment (acceptable)
• 2/6 aligned: Weak alignment (caution)
• 1/6 aligned: Very weak (likely counter-trend)
Higher confluence typically correlates with longer, stronger trends. However, MTF analysis is optional - you can disable it and rely solely on quality scoring.
Q: Is this suitable for beginners?
A: Yes, but requires foundational knowledge:
You should understand:
• Basic trend-following concepts (higher highs, higher lows)
• Risk management principles (position sizing, stop losses)
• How to read candlestick charts
• What volume and volatility mean
Beginner-friendly features:
• Auto preset mode (zero configuration)
• Quality scoring (tells you signal strength)
• Dashboard tooltips (hover for explanations)
• duration analysis boxes (visual profit targets)
Recommended for beginners:
1. Start with "Auto" or "Swing Trading" preset on Daily chart
2. Use Standard Analysis Mode (not Advanced)
3. Set minimum quality to 60 (fewer but better signals)
4. Paper trade first for 2-4 weeks
5. Study methodology references (Minervini, O'Neil, Zanger)
Q: What is the Asset Type setting and why does it matter?
A: Asset Type (in Advanced analysis mode) adjusts duration estimates based on volatility characteristics:
• Small Cap: Explosive moves, extended trends (+30-40%)
• Biotech / Speculative: Parabolic potential, news-driven (+40%)
• Blue Chip / Large Cap: Baseline, steady trends (0% adjustment)
• Tech Growth: Momentum-driven, longer trends (+20%)
• Dividend / Value: Slower, grinding trends (-20%)
• Cyclical: Macro-driven, variable (±10%)
• Crypto / High Volatility: Parabolic potential (+30%)
Correct configuration improves Statistical accuracy by 15-20%. Using Blue Chip settings on a biotech stock may underestimate trend length (you'll exit too early).
Q: Can I backtest this indicator?
A: Yes! TradingView's Strategy Tester works with this indicator's signals.
To backtest:
1. Note the entry conditions (SuperTrend flip + quality threshold + filters)
2. Create a strategy script using same logic
3. Run Strategy Tester on historical data
Additionally, the indicator includes BUILT-IN duration estimate validation:
• System backtests its own duration estimates
• Shows accuracy metrics in dashboard and duration analysis boxes
• Helps assess reliability on your specific symbol/timeframe
Q: Why does Volume Momentum auto-disable in Scalping mode?
A: Scalping requires ultra-fast entries to catch quick moves. Volume Momentum filter adds friction by requiring volume confirmation before signaling, which can cause missed opportunities in rapid scalping.
Scalping preset is optimized for speed and frequency - the filter is counterproductive for that style. It remains enabled for Day Trading, Swing Trading, and Position Trading presets where patience improves results.
You can manually enable it in Custom mode if desired.
Q: How much historical data do I need for accurate duration estimates?
A:
Minimum: 50-100 bars (indicator will function but duration estimates less reliable)
Recommended: 500+ bars (robust statistical database)
Optimal: 1000+ bars (maximum Statistical accuracy)
More history = more completed trends = better pattern matching = more accurate duration estimates.
New symbols or newly-switched timeframes will have lower Statistical accuracy initially. Allow 2-4 weeks for the system to build historical database.

Volume Pulse [ziksfx]Volume Pulse is a clean volume indicator designed to make it easier to read meaningful changes in activity without cluttering your chart. It enhances the standard volume view by supporting both classic volume and dollar volume , highlighting spikes and extreme bars and adding a compact label on the latest bar so you always see the current volume value at a glance. The script is intended to be used in a separate volume pane.
How it works
– Supports two modes: standard volume or dollar volume (close × volume).
– Colors volume bars by candle direction (up/down). Optionally, it can:
• highlight volume spikes above a moving average;
• mark the highest-volume bar over a user-defined lookback period.
– Plots a simple moving average of volume so you can quickly see when activity is above or below typical levels.
– On the latest bar, shows a small label with the current volume value, automatically abbreviated (K / M / B) and optionally prefixed with “$” in dollar-volume mode.
Inputs & customization
– Volume type: choose between standard volume and dollar volume.
– Volume MA length: controls how sensitive the moving average is to recent changes in activity.
– Spike highlighting: optional, turns on/off coloring for bars where volume exceeds the moving average.
– Highest-volume bar lookback: sets the period for detecting the highest-volume bar.
– Label position: choose whether the last-bar label appears on the left or right side of the bar, and optionally shift it slightly above the bar for better readability.
Use cases
Use Volume Pulse to:
– Spot sudden spikes in volume and compare them to the recent average.
– Identify sessions or candles with unusually high activity relative to a chosen TF.
– Visually study how volume behaves around price moves, breakouts or potential fakeouts to better understand their strength or weakness.
– Keep track of the latest bar’s volume instantly, without having to read the raw scale values.
This indicator works on any symbol that has volume data (stocks, futures, crypto and more), but volume quality may vary between markets and instruments. It is intended as an analytical and educational tool only: it does not constitute financial advice and does not provide or guarantee any trading results. Always combine volume context with your own analysis and risk management.
Volume Matrix Pro [ChartNation]Volume Matrix Pro is a comprehensive volume profile indicator that combines delta-colored volume distribution analysis with adaptive pivot detection and automated volume node identification. The indicator visualizes where institutional volume accumulated at specific price levels, providing traders with precise entry zones backed by actual trading data.
KEY FEATURES:
Delta-Colored Volume Profile: Displays volume distribution across price bins with automatic delta coloring - green bins show buyer dominance, red bins show seller control at each price level
High Volume Nodes (HVN) Detection: Automatically identifies and marks price levels with ≥80% of POC volume using yellow diamond markers - these act as magnetic support/resistance zones where institutions built positions
Low Volume Nodes (LVN) Detection: Marks thin volume areas with gray diamond markers - zones where price moves quickly with minimal friction, ideal for breakout targets
Adaptive Smart Pivots: ATR-based pivot detection that automatically adjusts length based on market volatility - catches more swings in low volatility, filters to major reversals in high volatility
Point of Control (POC) Line: Identifies the price level with maximum traded volume - the market's center of gravity. Line colors by delta: green when buyers dominated, red when sellers controlled the level
Value Area Lines: Dotted lines marking the 70% value area (configurable 50-98%) with delta-based coloring showing cumulative buyer/seller pressure within the range
Circle Pivot Markers: Clean visual markers at confirmed pivot points with translucent horizontal lines extending to current bar
Extend-Until-Touch: Pivot lines automatically retract when price touches them, keeping charts clean and showing active levels only
Dual Profile Modes: Left-side profile (default) or right-pinned bars ahead of price with fully customizable width and padding
Volume-Filtered Pivots: Only displays pivots with significant volume backing (≥20% of POC by default) - institutional turning points, not noise
HOW IT WORKS:
The indicator divides the lookback range (default 200 bars) into volume bins (default 50) and calculates total volume and delta (buying vs selling pressure) at each price level. Each bin is colored green if buyers dominated (close > open majority) or red if sellers controlled (close < open majority).
High Volume Nodes mark price levels where the most trading occurred - these become magnetic support/resistance zones. The Point of Control identifies the single price with maximum volume, acting as the market's gravitational center.
Smart Pivots use ATR to adapt to changing volatility, then filter against the volume profile. Only pivots with substantial volume backing are displayed, ensuring you see institutional turning points, not random noise.
RECOMMENDED SETTINGS:
Scalping (1-5 min): 100 lookback bars, 40 bins, 5-7 pivot length
Day Trading (15 min - 1 hour): 200 lookback bars, 50 bins, 10 pivot length (default)
Swing Trading (4 hour - Daily): 300-500 lookback bars, 60 bins, 15-20 pivot length
USAGE TIPS:
Enter long when price touches green HVN zones with adaptive pivot confirmation
Enter short when price reaches red HVN zones with pivot confirmation
Use POC as first target when entering below it, or as support backup when entering above
Watch for LVN zones as potential breakout acceleration areas
Combine green delta bins + HVN + pivot for highest-probability setups
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT:
Unlike traditional volume profiles, Volume Matrix Pro colors each bin individually by delta, giving granular insight into buyer/seller control at every price level. The adaptive pivot system adjusts automatically to volatility, while volume-filtering ensures only institutionally-backed turning points are displayed. High/Low Volume Node detection is fully automated with visual markers.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
This is a volume analysis tool - use with trend analysis and risk management
High Volume Nodes show where volume accumulated historically, not future support/resistance guarantees
Adaptive pivots adjust to volatility automatically but can still produce false signals in choppy markets
Best used as confirmation alongside price action, not as a standalone system
Profile recalculates on each bar to reflect current lookback range
