Mass Sentiment & Contrarian (Only Signals)
________________________________________
📘 Contrarian Mass Sentiment Indicator Manual
This indicator is designed to identify moments of psychological exhaustion in the market. Its philosophy is "buy panic and sell euphoria."
1. Where and how is the data taken from?
The indicator analyzes three real-time data sources to filter the signals:
• Psychology (RSI): We use the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to measure the speed and change in price movements.
• If the RSI is very high (>70-75), the "mass" is overbuying (greed).
• If the RSI is very low (<25-30), the "mass" is overselling (panic).
• Price Action (Candlesticks): It is not enough for the RSI to be at an extreme. The indicator looks for reversal patterns (Hammer, Shooting Star, or Engulfing candlesticks). This confirms that the price has indeed found a top or bottom.
• Price Action (Candlesticks): It is not enough for the RSI to be at an extreme. The indicator looks for reversal patterns (Hammer, Shooting Star, or Engulfing candlesticks). This confirms that the price has actually found a top or bottom.
• Price Action (Candlesticks): • Market Effort (Volume): At "Strong" levels, the indicator requires volume to exceed its 20-period moving average. This identifies a volume climax, which typically marks the end of a move.

2. User Manual: Signal Interpretation
The indicator classifies opportunities according to their probability of success:
A. Intensity Levels
Label Strength Meaning Suggested Action
F-VTA / F-CPA Strong Maximum euphoria/panic + Volume + Reversal candle. High probability signal. Look for immediate entry.
M-VTA / M-CPA Medium Standard overload level + Reversal candle. Solid technical confirmation. Trade in favor of the structure.
D-VTA / D-CPA Weak The RSI is just beginning to reverse from moderate levels. Early warning. Do not enter without confirmation using other tools.
B. Trade Execution (Contrarian)
1. Location: Wait for a label to appear. The best are the Strong (F) or Medium (M) lines.
2. Stop Loss: Always place it a few pips/points above the high of the signal candle (for selling) or below the low (for buying).
3. Take Profit: * Target 1: The mid-RSI level (50).
or Target 2: The opposite RSI band (if you sold at 70, aim to close at 30).
________________________________________
3. Golden Tips
• Avoid sideways markets: In very narrow ranges, the RSI can give false signals ("wobbling"). Look for signals that occur after a clear and extended trend.
• Timeframes: The indicator is most reliable on 15-minute, 1-hour, and 4-hour timeframes. On the 1-minute timeframe, market "noise" can generate constant weak signals.
• Confluence: If you see an F-VTA (Strong Sell) signal right at a historical price resistance, the probability of success increases dramatically.

Buy / Sell Volume Header / NPR21📊 Buy / Sell Volume Header – NPR21
Overview
Buy / Sell Volume Header – NPR21 displays real-time Buy vs Sell volume dominance in a clean, Thinkorswim-style fixed header at the top of the chart.
Instead of cluttering candles with labels, this indicator presents volume information in a compact, side-by-side header, allowing traders to instantly gauge who is in control of the current bar—buyers or sellers—without losing focus on price action.
How It Works
Buy and Sell volume are estimated using candle structure:
Buy Volume is derived from the portion of the candle closing above the low
Sell Volume is derived from the portion of the candle closing below the high
Percentages show relative dominance for the most recently confirmed bar
This approach provides a fast, intuitive order-flow bias that works across futures, indices, crypto, and equities.
Key Features
✔ Thinkorswim-style fixed header
✔ Side-by-side Buy | Sell layout (no overlap)
✔ Bold green/red backgrounds with white text
✔ Compact font for intraday trading
✔ Updates only on confirmed bars (non-repainting)
✔ No candle clutter
✔ Optimized for scalping and intraday trading
Best Use Cases
Confirming buyer vs seller control
Adding confluence to:
Momentum indicators
VWAP / EMA strategies
Market structure & BOS setups
Quick decision support during:
Breakouts
Pullbacks
Range highs/lows
This tool is designed to be confirmation, not a standalone signal.
Notes
This is a volume estimation tool, not true bid/ask or footprint data
Best used alongside price action and structure
ITCP ATR BB RSI Stoch SignalsThis indicator generates BUY/SELL signals when price stretches outside Bollinger Bands during elevated volatility, confirmed by RSI, a Stochastic crossover, and a volume filter. To reduce counter-trend entries, it applies a macro trend filter using the Daily SMA 200: it looks for longs only above the SMA 200 and shorts only below it.
It tends to perform best in Forex, especially on liquid pairs, because market conditions (liquidity, continuous sessions, and relatively stable spreads on major pairs) often suit this confirmation-based approach. That said, it can be adapted to other markets (indices, commodities, or crypto) by tuning parameters such as Bollinger length/deviation, RSI/Stoch thresholds, and ATR settings (multipliers/factors) to fit the asset’s volatility.
It also plots ATR-based stop-loss reference levels (configurable smoothing) and includes webhook-ready alerts with a JSON payload (action, symbol, price, stop_loss, time, and interval) for external automation. The goal is to support rules-based execution and reduce impulsive trades: if conditions don’t align, there’s no signal.
If you manage to improve it, discover better settings, or build a more robust solution inspired by this, I’d really appreciate it if you share it back (even if it’s just feedback or an idea). I’m open to collaborating and iterating together to create stronger versions over time.
Volume ROC (smoothed)Description
The Volume ROC (Rate of Change) indicator is designed to measure the momentum of trading volume over a user-defined period, adjusted for the trading session length of the symbol (e.g., 8.5 hours for the FTSEMIB index). This makes it particularly useful for intraday charts where standard daily calculations might not align with actual trading days.
By focusing on volume changes rather than price, it helps identify potential shifts in market participation, such as accumulation, distribution, or unusual activity that could precede price movements.
How It Works:
Session Adjustment:
The indicator calculates the number of candles per trading day based on the input session duration (in hours) and the chart's timeframe. This ensures that the ROC and other calculations are based on "trading days" rather than calendar days, making it adaptable to markets with non-standard hours like European indices (e.g., FTSEMIB).
Daily Data Fetch:
It retrieves daily high, low, close, and volume data using "request.security" to ensure consistency across timeframes.
ROC Calculation:
The Rate of Change (ROC) is computed on volume using "ta.change" over the specified length (in days), multiplied by the candles-per-day factor for timeframe independence. By chosing the subtraction method instead of the division method we avoid distortions of the ROC below the zero line (method ok for timespans inferior to two years).
Smoothing with SMA:
A Simple Moving Average (SMA) is applied to the ROC to reduce noise and highlight trends in volume momentum.
Standard Deviation Bands:
The standard deviation of the smoothed ROC is calculated over a lookback period. Bands are plotted at +2σ (overbought) and -2σ (oversold) to provide context for extreme volume changes, similar to Bollinger Bands but applied to volume ROC.
Key Plots:
SMA Line (Orange): The smoothed ROC value. Positive values indicate increasing volume momentum; negative values suggest decreasing momentum.
Zero Line (Black Dotted): A reference line at 0, separating positive and negative ROC territories.
+2σ Band (Red Dotted): Upper overbought threshold. Crossings above this may signal excessive buying volume.
-2σ Band (Green Dotted): Lower oversold threshold. Dips below this could indicate capitulation or low interest.
Usage and Interpretation:
Trend Confirmation:
Use the SMA crossing above/below zero to confirm price trends with volume backing. For example, a rising price with positive Volume ROC suggests strong conviction.
Divergences:
Look for divergences between price and Volume ROC (e.g., price making new highs but ROC weakening), which can signal reversals.
Overbought/Oversold Signals:
The ±2σ bands act as dynamic levels. Volume ROC spiking above +2σ might precede pullbacks, while below -2σ could indicate buying opportunities.
Best Applied To:
European indices (like FTSEMIB or DAX), stocks, or futures with defined session hours. Test on intraday (e.g., 2h) and combine with price-based indicators like RSI or MACD for confluence.
Customization:
Adjust the ROC/SMA lengths for sensitivity (shorter for scalping, longer for swings). The STDEV lookback affects band width—longer periods create smoother bands.
Limitations:
Volume data can be noisy in low-liquidity symbols. This indicator assumes consistent session lengths; irregular holidays may affect accuracy. Always backtest and use with risk management.
This indicator is original and built for educational/trading purposes.
SMH DualMomentum Signals (ROC + Volume)SMH Dual Momentum (ROC + Volume Confirmation)

Volume OscillatorDescription
The Volume Oscillator measures the momentum of trading volume by calculating the percentage difference between a fast and a slow Simple Moving Average (SMA) of daily volume. It helps traders identify periods of increasing or decreasing market participation, often signaling potential trend strength or exhaustion.
Key Features:
Adaptive to Trading Session:
Automatically adjusts SMA periods based on the actual trading session length (default: 8.5 hours for FTSEMIB, customizable for any market — e.g., 6.5h for US stocks, 24h for crypto).
Fast & Slow SMAs:
Compares a short-term SMA (default 10 days) with a longer-term SMA (default 25 days) of volume.
Oscillator Formula:
100 × (Fast SMA / Slow SMA - 1)
→ Positive values = increasing volume momentum (bullish)
→ Negative values = decreasing volume momentum (bearish)
Signal Line (optional):
A moving average of the oscillator (default 7 days) for smoother trend identification and crossover signals.
Overbought/Oversold Levels:
User-defined horizontal lines (default +40 / -40) to highlight extreme volume conditions.
Customizable Colors:
Change the oscillator and signal line colors to match your chart style.
How to Interpret:
Bullish Conditions:
Oscillator crosses above the zero line
Oscillator crosses above the signal line
Readings near or above +40 may indicate strong buying pressure (watch for possible exhaustion if too extreme)
Bearish Conditions:
Oscillator crosses below the zero line
Oscillator crosses below the signal line
Readings near or below -40 may indicate selling pressure or capitulation
Divergences:
Look for divergences between price and the Volume Oscillator (e.g., price makes new highs but oscillator fails to confirm with higher highs) — a classic sign of weakening momentum.
Best Use Cases:
Indices (FTSEMIB, DAX, CAC, SPX, etc.), stocks and futures with defined trading hours, crypto (set session duration to 24 hours).
Works well on intraday (e.g., 15m, 30m, 1h) and daily charts.
Customization Tips:
- Shorten fast/slow lengths for faster signals (more noise)
- Lengthen them for smoother, longer-term analysis
- Adjust session duration for non-standard market hours
- Enable/disable the signal line in the settings
Note: Volume data quality can vary by symbol and exchange. Always combine this indicator with price action and other tools. Use proper risk management.
Candle Strength Analyzer by The Ultimate Bull Run# Candle Strength Analyzer
## 📊 Complete Beginner's Guide
---
### 🎯 What This Indicator Does
The **Candle Strength Analyzer** measures how "strong" or "weak" each candlestick is and displays a **score from 0 to 100** above or below every candle.
- **Green numbers** = Bullish (price went UP)
- **Red numbers** = Bearish (price went DOWN)
- **Gray numbers** = Doji (price barely moved)
**Higher score = Stronger candle = More reliable signal**
---
### 🕯️ Understanding Candlesticks (The Basics)
If you're new to trading, here's what a candlestick shows:
```
│ ← Upper Wick (prices that were rejected)
│
┌───┐
│ │ ← Body (the "real" price movement)
│ │ • Green/White body = Price went UP (Bullish)
│ │ • Red/Black body = Price went DOWN (Bearish)
└───┘
│
│ ← Lower Wick (prices that were rejected)
```
**Key Terms:**
- **Open**: The price when the candle started
- **Close**: The price when the candle ended
- **High**: The highest price during the candle
- **Low**: The lowest price during the candle
- **Body**: The rectangle between Open and Close
- **Wick/Shadow**: The thin lines above and below the body
---
## 📐 The 4 Components of Candle Strength
This indicator combines **4 measurements** to calculate the final strength score. Let's understand each one:
---
### 1️⃣ Body Ratio (30% of score)
**What it is:**
The percentage of the candle that is "body" versus "wicks."
**Formula:**
```
Body Ratio = Size of Body ÷ Total Candle Size × 100
```
**What it tells you:**
- **High Body Ratio (70-100%)**: Bulls or bears were in FULL control. The price moved in one direction and STAYED there. This is strong.
- **Low Body Ratio (0-30%)**: There was a fight. Price moved up AND down but ended up roughly where it started. This is weak/indecisive.
**Visual Example:**
```
Strong Candle (90% body): Weak Candle (20% body):
│ │
┌───┐ │
│ │ ┌─┴─┐
│ │ ← Mostly body │ │ ← Tiny body
│ │ └─┬─┘
└───┘ │
│ │
```
**How to interpret:**
| Body Ratio | Meaning |
|------------|---------|
| 90-100% | **Marubozu** - Extremely strong, full commitment |
| 70-90% | **Strong** - Clear winner (bulls or bears) |
| 40-70% | **Normal** - Typical market activity |
| 10-40% | **Weak** - Significant indecision |
| 0-10% | **Doji** - Complete indecision, no winner |
---
### 2️⃣ Close Position Score (25% of score)
**What it is:**
WHERE the candle closed within its range (high to low).
**What it tells you:**
- For a **bullish (green) candle**: Closing near the HIGH means buyers were still eager at the end = STRONG
- For a **bearish (red) candle**: Closing near the LOW means sellers were still eager at the end = STRONG
**Visual Example:**
```
Strong Bullish: Weak Bullish:
(closes near high) (closes near middle)
┌───┐ ← Close here │
│ │ ┌─┴─┐ ← Close here
│ │ │ │
│ │ │ │
└───┘ └───┘
│ │
```
**Why it matters:**
If price went UP but then sellers pushed it back down before the candle closed, that's a sign of weakness. The bulls couldn't hold their ground.
**How to interpret:**
| Close Position | For Bullish Candle | For Bearish Candle |
|----------------|-------------------|-------------------|
| 80-100% | Strong (near high) | Weak (near high) |
| 50-80% | Moderate | Moderate |
| 20-50% | Weak | Moderate |
| 0-20% | Very Weak (near low) | Strong (near low) |
---
### 3️⃣ Relative Volume - RVOL (25% of score)
**What is Volume?**
Volume is the NUMBER of shares/contracts traded during that candle. Think of it as "how many people participated."
**What is RVOL?**
RVOL compares TODAY'S volume to the AVERAGE volume.
**Formula:**
```
RVOL = Current Volume ÷ Average Volume (last 20 candles)
```
**What it tells you:**
- **RVOL = 1.0**: Normal activity (same as average)
- **RVOL = 2.0**: DOUBLE the normal activity (2x more traders involved)
- **RVOL = 0.5**: HALF the normal activity (fewer traders involved)
**Why it matters:**
A big price move with LOW volume is suspicious - it might not last.
A big price move with HIGH volume is confirmed - many traders agree.
**Think of it like voting:**
- High volume = Many people voted for this direction
- Low volume = Only a few people voted, decision might change
**How to interpret:**
| RVOL | Meaning | Signal Quality |
|------|---------|----------------|
| 2.0+ | Very High - Institutional activity likely | ⭐⭐⭐ Excellent |
| 1.5-2.0 | High - Significant interest | ⭐⭐ Good |
| 1.0-1.5 | Above Average | ⭐ Acceptable |
| 0.7-1.0 | Below Average | ⚠️ Caution |
| < 0.7 | Low - Lack of interest | ❌ Unreliable |
---
### 4️⃣ Size vs ATR (20% of score)
**What is ATR?**
ATR stands for "Average True Range." It measures how much the price TYPICALLY moves.
**What this component measures:**
How big is THIS candle compared to how big candles USUALLY are?
**Formula:**
```
ATR Ratio = This Candle's Size ÷ Average Candle Size (ATR)
```
**What it tells you:**
- **ATR Ratio = 2.0**: This candle is TWICE as big as normal = Significant move
- **ATR Ratio = 1.0**: This candle is normal sized
- **ATR Ratio = 0.5**: This candle is HALF the normal size = Minor move
**Why it matters:**
A 50-point move in a stock that normally moves 100 points is small.
A 50-point move in a stock that normally moves 20 points is HUGE.
Context matters!
**How to interpret:**
| ATR Ratio | Meaning |
|-----------|---------|
| 2.0+ | **Expansion** - Unusually large move, potential breakout |
| 1.5-2.0 | **Large** - Significant momentum |
| 1.0-1.5 | **Above Average** - Notable move |
| 0.5-1.0 | **Normal** - Typical movement |
| < 0.5 | **Small** - Insignificant, might be noise |
---
## 🧮 How the Final Score is Calculated
The indicator combines all 4 components with these weights:
```
Final Score = (Body Ratio × 30%) +
(Close Position × 25%) +
(RVOL Score × 25%) +
(Size Score × 20%)
```
**Result: A score from 0 to 100**
---
## 📊 Understanding the Strength Score
| Score | Classification | What It Means | Should You Trade It? |
|-------|---------------|---------------|---------------------|
| **70-100** | 🟢 STRONG | High conviction move, reliable signal | ✅ Yes - Good setup |
| **40-70** | 🟡 MODERATE | Average move, needs confirmation | ⚠️ Maybe - Add other indicators |
| **0-40** | 🔴 WEAK | Low conviction, unreliable | ❌ No - Wait for better setup |
---
## 🏷️ Special Pattern Markers
The indicator also detects special candlestick patterns:
### ⚡ Power Candle
**Requirements:**
- Body Ratio > 70% (strong body)
- RVOL > 1.5 (high volume)
- Close Position > 80% (closes near the extreme)
**What it means:** The BEST possible signal. Everything aligns perfectly.
### Ⓜ️ Marubozu
**Requirements:**
- Body Ratio > 90% (almost no wicks)
**What it means:** Complete dominance by bulls or bears. Very strong continuation signal.
### ◆ High Volume Doji
**Requirements:**
- Doji candle (tiny body)
- High volume
**What it means:** Many traders are fighting, but no one won. Often signals a REVERSAL is coming.

## 💡 Trading Tips for Beginners
### ✅ DO:
1. **Wait for strong candles (70+)** before entering trades
2. **Confirm with volume** - Look for RVOL > 1.5
3. **Use at support/resistance levels** - Strong candles at key levels are more meaningful
4. **Combine with other indicators** - RSI, MACD, or moving averages
5. **Practice on demo first** - Learn to recognize strong vs weak candles
### ❌ DON'T:
1. **Trade every candle** - Not all candles are worth trading
2. **Ignore volume** - A strong candle with low volume is suspicious
3. **Fight the trend** - Strong bearish candles in an uptrend might just be pullbacks
4. **Over-leverage** - Even strong signals can fail

GC1 Orderflow Engine - sudoTLDR
This indicator measures relative buying and selling pressure by comparing GC1! futures returns against XAU price returns, normalized by their own volatility and weighted by GC1! volume. The result is a pressure histogram and line that show whether futures orderflow is leading, lagging, or diverging from spot gold in real time.
What this indicator does
The Orderflow Engine is designed to answer one core question:
Is GC1! futures orderflow applying net pressure in the same direction as XAU, or pushing against it?
It does this by isolating relative strength and weakness between futures and spot, rather than looking at price direction alone.
How the pressure calculation works
1. GC1! futures returns and XAU returns are calculated bar by bar
2. Each return is normalized by its own recent volatility
3. The normalized XAU return is subtracted from the normalized GC1! return
This creates a relative pressure value:
Positive pressure - GC1! futures are outperforming XAU
Negative pressure - GC1! futures are underperforming XAU
Near zero - futures and spot are moving in balance
To emphasize meaningful activity:
GC1! volume is converted into a normalized score
Higher-than-normal futures volume increases the weight of the pressure
Low-volume pressure is naturally dampened
The final output is clamped to keep the scale stable across different market conditions.
Visual output
Histogram
Green bars - positive futures pressure
Red bars - negative futures pressure
Gray bars - neutral or minimal pressure
Pressure line
A smoother view of the same pressure data
Useful for spotting momentum shifts and divergence
Zero line
Represents balance between futures and spot
Crosses often mark changes in orderflow control
Optional annotations
Regime shift markers based on futures participation
Optional percent-change labels for studying pressure acceleration
How to use it
-Confirm whether price moves are supported by futures orderflow
-Spot early divergence between GC1! and XAU
-Identify absorption , distribution , or initiative behavior
-Filter entries by trading only when pressure aligns with your bias
-This tool is best used as confirmation and context, not as a standalone signal generator.
Design philosophy
-Self-normalizing across sessions and volatility regimes
-No fixed thresholds that break over time
-Focused on relative behavior, not prediction
-Built to pair naturally with the Participation Regime indicator
GC1 Participation Regime - sudoThis indicator analyzes COMEX GC1! futures activity and maps it directly onto your XAU price chart, allowing you to see when gold futures participation meaningfully increases or fades - without cluttering your workflow.
Here is the TLDR version of the description (below):
The "regime" is calculated by measuring how active GC1! futures are, compared to their own recent history. On each bar, the indicator looks at two things - volume (how much trading occurred) and true range (how much price actually moved). Each of these is compared to its recent average using a normalized score, which simply answers whether today’s activity is higher, normal, or lower than usual. Those two normalized values are then combined into a single participation score , optionally smoothed to reduce noise. That score is compared against user-defined thresholds and classified into one of four regimes - Low, Normal, High, or Extreme participation . In short, the regime shows whether current GC1! futures activity is unusually quiet or unusually active relative to its own recent behavior , without making any directional assumptions.
What this indicator does
-Measures GC1! futures volume and true range relative to their own historical behavior using z-scores
-Combines those metrics into a single participation score
-Classifies the market into four participation regimes
Low
Normal
High
Extreme
Projects those regimes directly onto the XAU price chart
Visual elements
Background shading
-Gray - Low participation
-Blue - Normal participation
-Green - High participation
-Orange - Extreme participation
Regime shift markers
-Upward triangle below price when participation increases
-Downward triangle above price when participation decreases
Volume-informed candle coloring (optional)
-High GC volume + bullish candle
-High GC volume + bearish candle
-Low GC volume + bullish candle
-Low GC volume + bearish candle
These visuals help you instantly identify whether price movement is occurring with real futures participation or during thinner conditions.
How to use it
-Identify high-quality environments for execution when participation is elevated
-Filter breakouts, trends, and reversals based on whether GC futures are involved
-Avoid overconfidence during low-participation regimes, where price moves are more prone to failure
-Use regime transitions as context , not signals!!
-This indicator is designed to be contextual , not predictive .
Customization
-Adjustable lookback lengths for volume and range
-Fully tunable regime thresholds
-Optional background shading
-Optional regime shift markers
-Optional candle recoloring based on GC volume behavior
Everything can be dialed up or down depending on how visually minimal you want your chart to be.
Notes
-Built specifically around COMEX GC1! futures
-Designed to disappear if GC data is unavailable
-Works on all intraday and higher timeframes
Momentum & Breakout Confirmationwatch momentum build in real time on the current candle so you can confirm weather a breakout is indeed a breakout or will be a fake out. This is what it does
This is a Momentum & Breakout Confirmation (MBC) indicator that analyzes the current candle in real-time to determine if it's a strong continuation move or possible reversal. Here's the breakdown:
What It Measures:
Momentum Strength - How much % the candle moved:
STRONG = >0.5% move
MEDIUM = 0.2-0.5%
WEAK = <0.2%
Direction - Simply bullish (green candle) or bearish (red candle)
Four Confirmation Factors:
Volume Surge - Is volume 1.5x above the 20-period average?
Move Size - Is the candle body larger than 0.5x ATR (significant)?
Body Strength - Is the body >60% of total candle range (strong conviction, minimal wicks)?
Trend Aligned - Does it align with 9/21 MA trend direction?
The Scoring System:
Adds 1 point for each confirmation factor met (max 4 points)
3-4 points = "STRONG CONTINUATION" 🚀
2 points = "LIKELY CONTINUATION"
1 point = "WEAK SIGNAL"
0 points = "POSSIBLE REVERSAL" ⚠️
Key Difference from TPC:
TPC uses multi-timeframe SuperTrend for strategic entries
MBC focuses on the current candle only - it's asking "Is THIS candle showing real momentum or is it weak/fake?"
Practical Use:
Great for confirming if a breakout or move is "real" with strong conviction behind it, or if it's low-volume/weak-bodied and likely to fail. The table updates live so you can watch momentum build during the candle formation.
Hope it helps. if you guys have any ideas for any indicators you want made please feel free to dm me as i like a good challenge lol ill sit here and try to code anything now im not saying i will be 100 percent successful but i will try for you, thanks for all the support from all you guys i def do appreciate it.
Iridescent Liquidity Prism [JOAT]Iridescent Liquidity Prism | Peer Momentum HUD
A multi-layered order-flow indicator that combines microstructure analysis, smart-money footprint detection, and intermarket momentum signals. The script uses dynamic color-shifting themes to visualize liquidity patterns, structure, and peer momentum data directly on the chart.
There is so much to choose from inside the settings, if you think it's a mess on the chart it's because you have to personally customize it based on your needs...
Core Functionality
The indicator calculates and displays several analytical layers simultaneously:
Order-Flow Imbalance (OFI): Calculates buy vs. sell volume pressure using volume-weighted price distribution within each bar. Uses an EMA filter (default: 55 periods) to smooth the signal. Values are normalized using standard deviation to identify significant imbalances.
Smart Money Footprints: Detects accumulation and distribution zones by comparing volume rate of change (ROC) against price ROC. When volume ROC exceeds a threshold (default: 65%) and price ROC is positive, accumulation is detected. When volume ROC is high but price ROC is negative, distribution is detected.
Fractal Structure Mapping: Identifies pivot highs and lows using a fractal detection algorithm (default: 5-bar period). Maintains a rolling window of recent structure points (default: 4 levels) and draws connecting lines to show trend structure.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection: Automatically detects price gaps where three consecutive candles create an imbalance. Bullish FVGs occur when the current low exceeds the high two bars ago. Bearish FVGs occur when the current high is below the low two bars ago. Gaps persist for a configurable duration (default: 320 bars) and fade when price fills the gap.
Liquidity Void Detection: Identifies candles where the high-low range exceeds an ATR threshold (default: 1.7x ATR) while volume is below average (default: 65% of 20-bar average). These conditions suggest areas where liquidity may be thin.
Price/Volume Divergence: Uses linear regression to detect when price trend direction disagrees with volume trend direction. A divergence alert appears when price is trending up while volume is trending down, or vice versa.
Peer Momentum Heatmap (PMH): Calculates composite momentum scores for up to 6 symbols across 4 timeframes. Each score combines RSI (default: 14 periods) and StochRSI (default: 14 periods, 3-bar smooth) to create a momentum composite between -1 and +1. The highest absolute momentum score across all combinations is displayed in the HUD.
Custom settings using Fractal Pivots, Skeleton Structure, Pulse Liquidity Voids, Bottom Colorful HeatMaps, and Iridescent Field.
---
Visual Components
Spectrum Aura Glow: ATR-weighted bands (default: 0.25x ATR) that expand and contract around price action, indicating volatility conditions. The thickness adapts to market volatility.
Chromatic Flow Trail: A blended line combining EMA and WMA of price (default: 8-period EMA blended with WMA at 65% ratio). The trail uses gradient colors that shift based on a phase oscillator, creating an iridescent effect.
Volume Heat Projection: Creates horizontal volume profile bands at price levels (default: 14 levels). Scans recent bars (default: 150 bars) to calculate volume concentration. Each level is colored based on its volume density relative to the maximum volume level.
Structure Skeleton: Dashed lines connecting fractal pivot points. Uses two layers: a primary line (2-3px width) and an optional glow overlay (4-5px width) for enhanced visibility.
Fractal Markers: Diamond shapes placed at pivot high and low points. Color-coded: primary color for highs, secondary color for lows.
Iridescent Color Themes: Five color themes available: Iridescent (default), Pearlescent, Prismatic, ColorShift, and Metallic. Colors shift dynamically using a phase oscillator that cycles through the color spectrum based on bar index and a speed multiplier (default: 0.35).
---
HUD Console Metrics
The right-side HUD displays seven key metrics:
Flow: Shows OFI status: ▲ FLOW BUY when normalized OFI exceeds imbalance threshold (default: 2.2), ▼ FLOW SELL when below -2.2, or ◆ FLOW BAL when balanced.
Struct: Structure trend bias: ▲ STRUCT BULL when microtrend > 2, ▼ STRUCT BEAR when < -2, or ◆ STRUCT RANGE when neutral.
Smart$: Institutional activity: ◈ ACCUM when smart money index = 1, ◈ DISTRIB when = -1, or ○ IDLE when inactive.
Liquid: Liquidity state: ⚡ VOID when a liquidity void is detected, or ● NORMAL otherwise.
Diverg: Divergence status: ⚠ ALERT when price/volume divergence detected, or ✓ CLEAR when aligned.
PMH: Peer Momentum Heatmap status: Shows dominant timeframe and momentum score. Displays 🪩 for bull surge (above 0.55 threshold) or 🧨 for bear surge (below -0.55).
FVG: Fair Value Gap status: Shows active gap count or CLEAR when no gaps exist. Displays GAP LONG when bullish gap detected, GAP SHORT when bearish gap detected.

Structure Shift - Triggers when structure polarity changes significantly
PMH Bull Surge - Triggers when PMH exceeds positive threshold (if enabled)
PMH Bear Surge - Triggers when PMH exceeds negative threshold (if enabled)
Bull/Bear Prismatic FVG - Triggers when new FVG is detected (if FVG display enabled)
---
Usage Considerations
Performance may vary on lower timeframes due to the volume heat map calculations scanning multiple bars. Consider reducing heat map lookback or levels if experiencing slowdowns.
The PMH feature requires data requests to other symbols/timeframes, which may impact performance. Limit the number of peer symbols and timeframes for optimal performance.
FVG boxes automatically expire after the persistence period to prevent chart clutter. The maximum box limit (default: 40) prevents excessive memory usage.
Color themes affect all visual elements. Choose a theme that provides good contrast with your chart background.
The indicator is designed for overlay display. All visual elements are positioned relative to price action.
Structure lines are drawn dynamically as new pivots form. On fast-moving markets, structure may update frequently.
Volume calculations assume typical volume data availability. Symbols without volume may show incomplete data for volume-dependent features.
---
Technical Notes
Built on Pine Script v6 with dynamic request capability for PMH functionality.
Uses exponential moving averages (EMA) and weighted moving averages (WMA) for trail calculations to balance responsiveness and smoothness.
Volume profile calculation uses price level buckets. Higher levels provide finer granularity but require more computation.
Iridescent color engine uses a phase oscillator with sine wave calculations for smooth color transitions.
Box management includes automatic cleanup of expired boxes to maintain performance.
All visual elements use color gradients and transparency for smooth blending with price action.
---
Customization Examples
Intraday Scalping Setup:
Analysis Depth: 30 bars
Heat Map Lookback: 100 bars
FVG Persistence: 150 bars
PMH Window: 15 bars
Fast color shift speed: 0.5+
Macro Structure Tracking:
Analysis Depth: 100+ bars
Heat Map Lookback: 300+ bars
FVG Persistence: 500+ bars
Structure Memory: 6-8 levels
Slower color shift speed: 0.2
---
Limitations
Volume heat map calculations may be computationally intensive on lower timeframes with high lookback values.
PMH requires valid symbol names and accessible timeframes. Invalid symbols or timeframes will return no data.
FVG detection requires at least 3 bars of history. Early bars may not show FVG boxes.
Structure lines connect points but do not predict future structure. They reflect historical pivot relationships.
Color themes are aesthetic choices and do not affect calculation logic.
The indicator does not provide trading signals. All visual elements are analytical tools that require interpretation in context of market conditions.
Open Source
This indicator is open source and available for modification and distribution. The code is published with Pine Script v6 compliance. Users are free to customize parameters, modify calculations, and adapt the visual elements to their trading needs.

Order Flow: Structural Sniper [Profile + Signals]Overview
This script is a comprehensive tool designed to bridge the gap between Market Structure and Order Flow analysis. It aims to eliminate the subjectivity of static support and resistance lines by focusing on dynamic liquidity and the behavior of aggressive versus passive market participants.
Unlike traditional indicators that plot static data, the Structural Delta Map dynamically anchors its analysis to the start of the current trend (Pivots), providing a clear "X-Ray" view of how volume was distributed during the current price swing.
How it Works
The indicator combines three distinct technical concepts into a single system:
1. Market Structure (Pivots):
It uses a pivot detection algorithm to identify significant Swing Highs and Swing Lows. This determines the market bias and anchors the analysis to the origin of the movement.
2. Anchored VWAP (Fair Price):
It automatically calculates the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) starting from the last confirmed pivot. This yellow line acts as the "spine" of the trend, serving as dynamic institutional support/resistance.
3. Delta Profile & Heatmap:
A Volume Profile is plotted on the left side, anchored to the pivot.
Split Delta: Instead of a single color, bars are split into Green (Buying Volume) and Red (Selling Volume) based on price action estimation.
Heatmap Logic: The opacity of the bars adjusts automatically. Bright/Solid bars represent High Volume Nodes (HVN), while transparent bars represent Low Volume Nodes (LVN) or liquidity voids.
How to Use (Strategy)
The indicator provides both visual context and specific entry signals:
1. Visual Context:
Profile: Look for reactions at bright, wide bars (High Volume Nodes). These act as magnets or barriers.
Yellow Line (VWAP): In an uptrend, look for buy opportunities when price retraces to this line. In a downtrend, look for shorts on the retest.
2. Aggression Signals (Triangle "AGR"):
Type: Trend Continuation / Pullback.
Logic: Triggers when price retraces to the structural value zone (near VWAP), rejects it with higher-than-average volume, and closes in the direction of the trend.
3. Absorption Signals (Cross "ABS"):
Type: Reversal / Trap.
Logic:
Bullish Absorption: Price makes a new local low with high volume (selling pressure), but the candle closes bullish (leaving a long bottom wick). Passive buyers absorbed the aggression.
Bearish Absorption: Price makes a new local high with high volume, but closes bearish. Passive sellers absorbed the buying pressure.
Settings
Pivot Sensitivity: Adjusts how the script detects trend changes.
Profile Resolution: Controls the number of rows in the histogram.
Signal Filters: Enable/Disable signals and adjust the Volume Multiplier threshold.
Technical Disclaimer
This indicator estimates "Delta" (Buy vs. Sell volume) based on OHLC price action and bar volume, as Pine Script does not grant access to historical tick-by-tick data. While this approximation is highly effective for identifying aggression and absorption, it differs slightly from Level 2 footprint data found on platforms like Sierra Chart. Accuracy depends on the volume data provided by your exchange.

Pine Script: v6
cd_VW_CxOverview
The cd_VW_Cx is a sophisticated trend analysis tool designed to quantify market momentum using Multi-Period VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price). Unlike standard indicators, this script evaluates the current price relationship across multiple historical VWAP anchors to generate a real-time "Confidence Score" ranging from -100 to +100.
💡 Key Features
• Dynamic Anchoring: Seamlessly switch between Daily, Weekly, or Monthly open anchors to align with your trading style (Scalping, Day Trading, or Swing).
• Algorithmic Scoring (The Score Box): The indicator compares the current VWAP against historical periods.
o Score > +70: Strong Bullish Momentum.
o Score < -70: Strong Bearish Momentum.
• Polyline Rendering: Utilizes Pine Script v6’s advanced polyline architecture for high-performance, sleek visual plotting that doesn't clutter your chart.
• Institutional Support/Resistance: Historical VWAP levels are color-coded, often acting as "invisible" magnetic zones where institutional orders are clustered.
🛠 How to Trade with cd_VW_Cx
1. Momentum Confirmation: Look for the Score Box to turn Teal (Bullish) or Red (Bearish). This indicates that the current trend has statistical backing from multiple previous sessions.
2. The Breakout Signal: The script tracks price crossovers of the current VWAP. A "Bullish Breakout" combined with a high score is a high-probability entry signal.
3. Visual Guidance: Use the custom labels to identify which specific day/week/month’s VWAP is currently being tested as support or resistance.
⚙️ Customizable Settings
• Anchor Selection: Choose the calculation basis (Daily, Weekly, Monthly).
• Thresholds: Adjust the sensitivity of the Bullish/Bearish alerts (Default is +/- 70).
• Visuals: Full control over table positioning, font sizes, and color palettes to match your chart theme.
📢 cd_VW_Cx: Multi-Period VWAP Scoring & Analysis Guide
🔍 Overview & Visual Logic
The labels next to the VWAP levels dynamically change based on your Anchor selection:
• Daily Open: Displays the Day Name (e.g., Monday, Tuesday).
• Weekly Open: Displays the Week Number (1 – 52).
• Monthly Open: Displays the Month Number (1 – 12).

Filtering Criteria Examples:
• Bullish Filtering: Find assets with high momentum scores.
• Bullish Breakout (Single Criteria): Filters assets that have closed above the current VWAP level.
• Combined Strength (Score + Breakout): Filters assets that have a Score > 70 AND a fresh VWAP Breakout simultaneously.
________________________________________
⚠️ Important Notes & Warnings
• Calculation Logic: The indicator calculates levels and scores on timeframes lower than the anchor. It is best used on timeframes that are close to but lower than the anchor.
• Avoid Extreme Gaps: Using a very low timeframe (e.g., 1m) with a very high anchor (e.g., Monthly) increases the risk of erroneous results.
• Optimization: The default score threshold of 70 is a starting point; I recommend adjusting it based on your own trading experience.
• The Power of Confluence: VWAP levels are naturally strong. Their significance increases when they coincide with institutional levels like PDH (Previous Day High), Session H/L, or HTF FVG.
• Experience Matters: A high score alone is not enough for an entry. Always combine this data with your personal strategy.

Algorithmic Volume Rejection Zones [AVRZ]Hello traders,
I am pleased to release the Algorithmic Volume Rejection Zones (AVRZ). This is a specialized decision-support system designed to identify high-probability reversal points by synthesizing candle geometry, market structure, and statistical volume anomalies.
Trading reversals often presents a dilemma: wait for confirmation and miss the move, or enter early and get stopped out by noise. AVRZ solves this by quantifying "Institutional Absorption." It filters out weak price probes and highlights only the specific moments where significant volume has stepped in to defend a price level.
🛡️ The Concept: Attacking The Zonesl
You will often see price aggressively "attack" a support or resistance level with speed and high volume. To the untrained eye, this looks like a breakout. However, professional analysis reveals that this is often an Efficiency Event—liquidity is being absorbed by passive limit orders.
The AVRZ indicator is specifically engineered to detect this phenomenon. When price strikes a level and volume spikes (>2.0 Sigma), it signals that the auction is becoming efficient and a reversal is imminent. The script captures this "Attack" via the Climax Bypass logic, plotting a fresh zone immediately to mark where the liquidity was defended.
Price Contraction / Expansion1. Introduction
The Price Contraction / Expansion indicator highlights areas of market compression and volatility release by analyzing candle body size and volume behavior. It provides a fast, color-coded visualization to identify potential breakout zones, accumulation phases, or exhaustion movements.
This tool helps traders recognize when price action is tightening before a volatility expansion — a common precursor to strong directional moves.
2. Key Features
Dynamic body analysis: Compares each candle’s body size with a moving average to detect contraction (small bodies) and expansion (large bodies).
Volume confirmation: Measures whether volume is unusually high or low compared to its recent average, helping filter false breaks.
Color-coded system for clarity:
Yellow: Contraction with high volume (potential accumulation or strong activity).
Blue: Contraction with normal volume or expansion with low volume (neutral/reduced participation).
Green: Expansion in bullish candle (buyer dominance).
Red: Expansion in bearish candle (seller dominance).
Customizable parameters: Adjust body and volume averaging periods and thresholds to fit different market conditions or timeframes.
3. How to Use
Identify contraction zones: Look for blue or yellow bars to locate areas of price compression — these often precede breakouts or large movements.
Wait for expansion confirmation: A shift to green or red bars with increasing volume indicates that volatility is expanding and momentum is building.
Combine with context: Use this indicator alongside trend tools, liquidity zones, or moving averages to confirm directional bias and filter noise.
Adapt thresholds: In highly volatile markets, increase the “Threshold multiplier” to reduce false contraction signals.
This indicator is most effective for traders who focus on volatility behavior, market structure, and timing potential breakout opportunities.
Smart Money Concepts - Absorption Smart Money Concepts - Absorption (SMC-ABS)
Absorption event detector using split-volume VWMA ribbons, entropy filtering, and elasticity validation
Overview
This indicator highlights potential absorption/defense events: moments where price touches a volume-weighted band and then rejects, while additional filters confirm that market conditions are not random/noisy.
What it plots
• Energy ribbons (bands): two split-volume VWMA ribbon sets - Buy-weighted (cyan) and Sell-weighted (magma).
• ABS markers: printed when touch + rejection + validation conditions are met (see Logic section).
• Dashboard (HUD): real-time metrics such as price/volume z-scores, delta, entropy state, and resonance momentum states.
Core logic
1) Volume engine
The script builds Buy Volume and Sell Volume series using one of two modes:
• Geometry (candle-range split): estimates buy/sell participation from the close position within the candle range.
• Intrabar (precise): uses lower-timeframe up/down volume to derive buy/sell flows when data is available.
2) Split-VWMA resonance score
For multiple periods (5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50), the script computes:
• A standard SMA of price.
• A Buy-weighted VWMA of price (weighted by Buy Volume).
• A Sell-weighted VWMA of price (weighted by Sell Volume).
Resonance is derived from the normalized divergence between the SMA and the split VWMAs, aggregated across the available periods.
3) Validation filters
Signals can be filtered by the following components (each toggleable):
• Volume-weighted entropy: a fractal-efficiency style disorder metric (TR-sum vs range) adjusted by relative volume; high entropy blocks signals.
• Momentum alignment (resonance velocity) : direction filter requiring positive velocity for buy events and negative velocity for sell events.
• Elasticity (recoil vs penetration): rejection quality check based on the bounce-back strength relative to the penetration depth into the fast band.
Absorption event conditions (ABS markers)
ABS markers are generated using the fastest ribbon band (length 5) for the touch/rejection logic:
• Buy absorption: low touches/penetrates the Buy band and the candle closes back above it, with filters passing.
• Sell absorption: high touches/penetrates the Sell band and the candle closes back below it, with filters passing.
Note: acceleration/deceleration is displayed in the HUD as a state; the primary directional filter is the resonance velocity.
Settings
• Volume Model: choose Geometry or Intrabar.
• Intrabar LTF: lower timeframe used by the Intrabar model (only applies when Intrabar is selected).
• Global Lookback: lookback window used for z-score statistics and related calculations.
• Quantum Filters: toggles and thresholds for entropy, momentum alignment, and elasticity validation.
• Dashboard Settings :/ Energy Ribbons / Absorption Events: controls for visuals and filtering behavior.
Usage notes and limitations
• Signals are most reliable after candle close. On the forming candle, conditions can change until the bar closes.
• Results depend on the availability and quality of volume data for the selected symbol and exchange.
• The Geometry mode is an estimate based on candle structure; it is not tick-accurate order flow.
• Terms such as “quantum” and “physics” are metaphorical labels for statistical filters and validation heuristics.

Important note about Intrabar data and TradingView plan limits
This indicator is volume-dependent. When using the Intrabar model, the best results typically come from very low intrabar timeframes such as 1 tick or 1 second (if your symbol and data feed support it). Please check your TradingView subscription plan and data entitlements - access to 1-second/1-tick lower timeframes is commonly restricted to higher-tier plans (often referred to as Premium/Ultra tiers). If intrabar data is not available, the script falls back to relative buy/sell volume estimation (Geometry mode), and results may be less precise.
Effort-Result Divergence [Interakktive]The Effort-Result Divergence (ERD) measures whether volume effort is producing proportional price result. It quantifies the classic Wyckoff principle: when price moves easily, momentum is real; when price struggles despite heavy volume, absorption is occurring.
Think of ERD as "energy efficiency" for price movement — green means price is gliding, red means price is grinding.
█ WHAT IT DOES
• Measures volume EFFORT relative to average volume
• Measures price RESULT relative to ATR-normalized movement
• Computes ERD = Result minus Effort (each scaled 0-100)
• Flags statistical divergences via Z-score analysis
• Absorption events: high effort, low result (negative ERD)
• Vacuum events: low effort, high result (positive ERD)
█ WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
• NO buy/sell signals
• NO entry/exit recommendations
• NO alerts (v1 is educational only)
• NO performance claims or guarantees
This is a context tool for understanding market participation quality.
█ HOW IT WORKS
The ERD analyzes two dimensions of market activity and compares them.
EFFORT (Volume Intensity)
Compares current volume to a moving average baseline:
Effort Ratio = Volume ÷ SMA(Volume, Length)
Effort Score = clamp(100 × Effort Ratio ÷ Effort Cap)
High effort means above-average volume participation.
Low effort means below-average volume participation.
RESULT (Price Efficiency)
Measures how much price moved relative to expected volatility:
Result Ratio = |Close − Previous Close| ÷ ATR
Result Score = clamp(100 × Result Ratio ÷ Result Cap)
High result means price moved significantly for the volatility regime.
Low result means price barely moved despite market activity.
ERD SCORE
ERD = Result − Effort
• Positive ERD: Result exceeds effort → price moved easily (vacuum/thin liquidity)
• Negative ERD: Effort exceeds result → price struggled (absorption/accumulation)
• Near zero: Balanced effort-to-result relationship
STATISTICAL DIVERGENCE DETECTION
Z-score analysis identifies statistically significant extremes:
Z = (ERD − Mean) ÷ StdDev
• Absorption Event: Z ≤ −threshold (extreme negative ERD)
• Vacuum Event: Z ≥ +threshold (extreme positive ERD)
█ INTERPRETATION
GREEN BARS (Positive ERD)
Price moved with relatively little volume effort. This suggests:
• Thin liquidity / low resistance
• Strong directional interest
• Momentum is "real" — not forced
RED BARS (Negative ERD)
Heavy volume was used but price barely moved. This suggests:
• Absorption / accumulation occurring
• Large players opposing the move
• Inefficiency — someone is working hard for little result
THE KEY INSIGHT
When you see:
• Down moves = high effort (red spikes)
• Up moves = low effort (green bars)
This means: It's easier for price to go up than down.
That is asymmetric strength — classic bullish pressure.
The reverse (red on up moves, green on down moves) signals bearish pressure.
PRACTICAL RULES
Without any other indicators:
• Avoid shorting when ERD is mostly green and red spikes appear only on down candles
• Be cautious buying when ERD turns red on up candles (signals absorption of buying pressure)
• Vacuum events (extreme green) often precede continuation or pause — not violent reversal
• Absorption events (extreme red) often precede reversals or range formation
█ VOLUME DATA NOTE
This indicator uses the volume variable which represents:
• Exchange volume on stocks and futures
• Tick volume on Forex and CFD instruments
Tick volume is a proxy for activity, not actual exchange volume. The indicator remains useful on Forex as relative volume comparisons are still meaningful, but interpretation should account for this limitation.
█ INPUTS
Core Settings

• Show Zero Line: Toggle reference line
• Show Divergence Markers: Toggle event circles
• Show Effort/Result Lines: Display component breakdown
█ ORIGINALITY
While Wyckoff's effort-versus-result principle is well-established, existing implementations are typically:
• Purely visual with no quantification
• Pattern-based requiring subjective interpretation
• Not statistically normalized for comparison across instruments
ERD is original because it:
1. Normalizes both effort and result to 0-100 scales for direct comparison
2. Uses ATR for result normalization (adapts to volatility regime)
3. Applies statistical Z-score for objective divergence detection
4. Provides quantified output suitable for systematic analysis

When enabled, the following values are exported:
• Effort (0-100)
• Result (0-100)
• ERD Score
• Z-Score
• Absorption Event (1/0)
• Vacuum Event (1/0)
█ SUITABLE MARKETS
Works on: Stocks, Futures, Forex, Crypto
Best on: Instruments with reliable volume data (stocks, futures, crypto)

Auto-Anchored Fibonacci Volume Profile [Custom Array Engine]Description:
1. The Theoretical Foundation: Structure vs. Participation In professional technical analysis, traders often struggle to reconcile two distinct datasets: Price Geometry (where price should go) and Market Participation (where money actually went).
Why Fibonacci? (The Structure) Fibonacci Retracements map the mathematical structure of a trend. They identify psychological and algorithmic "interest zones" (0.382, 0.5, 0.618) where a correction is statistically likely to terminate. However, Fibonacci levels are theoretical—they are "lines in the sand" that do not guarantee liquidity or reaction.
Why Volume Profile? (The Verification) Volume Profile maps the historical exchange of shares at specific price levels. It reveals "fair value" (High Volume Nodes) and "market imbalance" (Low Volume Nodes). It is the only tool that verifies if a specific price level was actually accepted by institutional participants.
2. Underlying Calculations (The Custom Engine) This script operates on a custom-built calculation engine that bypasses standard built-in functions entirely. It uses Pine Script Arrays to build a Volume Profile from scratch. Here is the breakdown of the proprietary code logic:
A. The "Smart-Fill" Distribution Algorithm (Solves Gapping)
The Problem: Standard volume scripts often assign a candle's entire volume to a single price row. In volatile markets or steep trends, this creates visual "gaps" or a "barcode" effect because price moved too fast to register on every row.
My Solution: I wrote a custom loop that calculates the vertical overlap of every candle against the profile grid.
The Math: Volume Per Bin = Total Candle Volume / Bins Touched.
The Result: If a single volatile candle spans 10 price rows (bins), the script mathematically divides that volume and distributes it equally into all 10 array indices. This generates a solid, continuous distribution curve that accurately reflects price action through the entire candle range, not just the close.
B. Dynamic Arrays & Split-Volume Logic The script initializes two separate floating-point arrays (buyVolArray and sellVolArray) sized to the user's resolution (up to 300 rows). It iterates through the specific time-window of the swing:
If Close >= Open, the calculated volume slice is injected into the Buy Array.
If Close < Open, it is injected into the Sell Array.
These arrays are then visually stacked to render the dual-color profile, allowing traders to see the "Delta" (Buyer vs. Seller aggression) at key structural levels.
C. Custom Garbage Collection (Performance) To enable the "Auto-Anchoring" feature without causing chart lag or visual artifacts ("ghosting"), the script includes a Garbage Collection System. Before drawing a new profile, the script iterates through a tracking array of all existing objects (box.delete, line.delete) and clears them from memory. This ensures the indicator remains lightweight and responsive even when dragging chart margins or switching timeframes.
3. The Synthesis: Why Combine Them? The core philosophy of this script is Confluence . A Fibonacci level without volume is merely a suggestion; a Fibonacci level backed by volume is a defensive wall. By algorithmically anchoring a Volume Profile to the exact coordinates of a Fibonacci swing, this tool allows traders to instantly answer critical questions:
"Is the Golden Pocket (0.618) supported by a High Volume Node (HVN), or is it a Low Volume Node (LVN) that price might slice through?"
"Is the Shallow Retracement (0.382) holding because of structural support, or just a lack of selling pressure?"
4. How to Read the Indicator
The Geometry: The script automatically detects the trend and draws standard Fib levels (0, 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786, 1.0).
The Confluence Check: Look for the Point of Control (Red Line). If this High Volume Node aligns with a key Fib level (e.g., the 0.618), the probability of a reversal increases significantly.
The Imbalance Check: Look for "Valleys" in the profile (Low Volume Nodes). These gaps often act as "slippage zones" where price travels quickly between structural levels.
Buy/Sell Splits: The dual-color bars (Teal/Red) reveal the composition of the volume. A 0.618 level held up by dominant Buy Volume is a stronger bullish signal than one with mixed volume.
5. Settings & Customization
Lookback Length: Sensitivity of the swing detection (Default: 200 bars).
Resolution: Granularity of the profile rows (Default: 100). Higher values provide smoother definition.
Width (%): Responsive sizing that scales the profile relative to the trend's duration.
Extend Lines: Option to project structural levels infinitely to the right.
