Liquidity Sweep Guardian (Universal % or point based)
Liquidity Sweep Guardian - Complete User Guide
## Overview
The **Liquidity Sweep Guardian** is a visual warning system designed to prevent premature counter-trend trades (fades) near Previous Day High (PDH) and Previous Day Low (PDL) levels. This indicator helps you avoid one of the most common trading mistakes: fading too early before liquidity sweeps complete.
---
## 🎯 Core Trading Principle
### **THE GOLDEN RULE: Don't Fade Until It's Unlocked**
Price often **accelerates into key levels** to sweep liquidity before reversing. Trading against this momentum is extremely dangerous.
**The Process:**
1. **Danger Zone** (Red/White Box) = ⚠️ **DO NOT FADE** - Sweep likely incoming
2. **Sweep Occurs** (Triangle marker appears) = Price penetrates the level
3. **Reclaim Happens** (Price returns above/below level) = Level is tested
4. **🔓 UNLOCKED** (Gold border, green label) = **NOW you may CONSIDER a fade**
> **Important:** "UNLOCKED" means you may now *consider* a fade setup. It is NOT a trade signal itself. You still need your entry confirmation, risk management, and trade plan.
---
## 📊 Visual Elements Explained
### 1. **Danger Zone Boxes (Red Border by Default)**
**Two types of zones around PDH/PDL:**
- **Outer Danger Zone** (White fill): ±75pts (or 0.30%) around the level
- Indicates proximity to a key level where sweeps commonly occur
- Yellow/cautious trading zone
- **Inner Critical Zone** (Black fill): ±25pts (or 0.10%) around the level
- Highest probability area for liquidity sweep traps
- Avoid fading here at all costs
**What to do:**
- When price enters these zones, **wait and watch**
- Do not initiate counter-trend positions
- Allow the sweep to play out
### 2. **Unlocked Zones (Gold Border #ffeb3b)**
When a zone turns **gold/yellow** with green fill:
- The level has been swept AND reclaimed
- The liquidity grab is complete
- You may now look for fade opportunities with proper confirmation
### 3. **PDH/PDL Lines**
- **PDH Line** (Red): Previous Day High with price label
- **PDL Line** (Green): Previous Day Low with price label
- These are your key reference levels for the session
### 4. **Sweep Labels**
**Triangle Markers (SWEEP):**
- **Green Triangle** = Clean sweep (10-25pts penetration)
- **Orange Triangle** = Extended sweep (25-50pts penetration)
- **Red Triangle** = Deep penetration (50+ pts) - likely continuation, not reversal
**Warning Labels:**
- **⚠️ DEEP CONTINUATION?** = Penetration too deep, probably NOT a reversal setup
**Unlock Labels:**
- **🔓 LONG UNLOCKED** = PDL swept and reclaimed, may consider long fades
- **🔓 SHORT UNLOCKED** = PDH swept and reclaimed, may consider short fades

## ⚙️ Settings Guide
### **Calculation Mode**
**Use Percentage Mode (Default: ON)**
- ✅ **Enabled**: Universal mode - works on NQ, ES, RTY, stocks, crypto, forex
- ❌ **Disabled**: Fixed points mode - for specific instruments only
**When to use each:**
- **Percentage Mode**: Trading multiple instruments, or instruments with varying price levels
- **Fixed Points Mode**: Single instrument focus (e.g., only trading NQ at current levels)
### **Danger Zone Settings**
**Percentage Mode (Default for Universal Use):**
- **Danger Zone**: 0.30% each side (≈75pts on NQ@25,000)
- **Critical Zone**: 0.10% each side (≈25pts on NQ@25,000)
**Fixed Points Mode (For NQ Specifically):**
- **Danger Zone**: 75 points each side
- **Critical Zone**: 25 points each side
**Adjustment Tips:**
- For more volatile instruments: Increase percentages/points
- For less volatile instruments: Decrease percentages/points
- For higher timeframes: Use wider zones
- For lower timeframes: Use tighter zones
### **Sweep Classification**
**What defines a "real" sweep:**
- **Minimum**: 10pts / 0.04% - Shallow penetration may not grab enough liquidity
- **Optimal**: 10-25pts / 0.04-0.10% - "Goldilocks zone" for reversal setups
- **Extended**: 25-50pts / 0.10-0.20% - Deeper sweep, less reliable
- **Continuation**: 50+pts / 0.20%+ - Too deep, likely NOT reversing
**Max Bars for Reclaim**: 5 bars (default)
- Price should reclaim the level relatively quickly
- If it takes too long, the sweep may have failed
### **Visual Customization**

## 🎓 Trading Strategy Examples
### **Example 1: Long Setup at PDL**
1. **Morning**: Price approaches PDL (danger zone appears)
2. **Don't Fade Yet**: Price enters critical zone - resist urge to buy
3. **Sweep**: Price drops 15pts below PDL (green triangle appears)
4. **Reclaim**: Price closes back above PDL within 3 bars
5. **🔓 UNLOCKED**: Gold border + "LONG UNLOCKED" label appears
6. **Trade Setup**: Now look for bullish confirmation (order flow, structure, etc.)
### **Example 2: Avoiding a Trap at PDH**
1. **Afternoon**: Price rallies into PDH danger zone
2. **Temptation**: You want to short here (it "looks toppy")
3. **Sweep**: Price breaks 50pts above PDH (red triangle + ⚠️ warning)
4. **Continuation**: Deep penetration suggests continuation, not reversal
5. **Result**: No unlock occurs, price keeps running higher - trap avoided!
### **Example 3: Failed Unlock (No Trade)**
1. Price sweeps PDL by 12pts (green triangle)
2. Price struggles to reclaim PDL, stays below for 10+ bars
3. No "UNLOCKED" label appears
4. **Correct Action**: Do not fade - sweep failed to reclaim

## 💡 Pro Tips
1. **Use on Higher Timeframes**: Works best on 5min, 15min, 1hr charts
2. **Combine with Order Flow**: Use with footprint/delta for confirmation
3. **Watch Volume**: Strong volume on sweep = better reversal potential
4. **Consider Time of Day**: Sweeps during RTH often more reliable
5. **Multiple Timeframes**: Check if higher TF also shows unlock
6. **Don't Force Trades**: Not every session produces clean setups
7. **Journal Results**: Track which unlock types work best for you
8. **Respect Continuation Signals**: When indicator says "too deep," listen

Night Session Background V1.0This script can achieve the following functions:
Select a specified time period, such as the U.S. trading session, and mark this period on the background of the candlestick chart.
The purpose of doing this:
It allows you to more intuitively observe the candlestick patterns during specific time periods, such as the U.S. trading session.
Price vs Moving Average Cross (Golden & Death Signals)This indicator detects price crossings against multiple moving averages, not crossings between moving averages themselves.
🔹 Core Concept
A Golden Signal occurs when the price (close) crosses above a selected moving average.
A Death Signal occurs when the price (close) crosses below a selected moving average.
⚠️ This is NOT a moving-average-to-moving-average crossover indicator.
It is a price-to-moving-average crossover indicator.
📈 Moving Average Settings
The indicator uses three independent moving averages, each configurable by the user:
1️⃣ Moving Average 1 (Golden Signal)
Default: 20-period
Type: EMA or SMA
Signal:
Price crossing above MA → Golden Signal
2️⃣ Moving Average 2 (Golden Signal)
Default: 50-period
Type: EMA or SMA
Signal:
Price crossing above MA → Golden Signal
3️⃣ Moving Average 3 (Death Signal)
Default: 100-period
Type: EMA or SMA
Signal:
Price crossing below MA → Death Signal
🔔 Signal Logic
Signal Type Condition
Golden Cross 1 Close price crosses above MA 1
Golden Cross 2 Close price crosses above MA 2
Death Cross Close price crosses below MA 3
Each signal is evaluated independently.
📊 Visual Representation
Green Up Arrow → Price crosses above MA 1
Purple Up Arrow → Price crosses above MA 2
Red Down Arrow → Price crosses below MA 3
All moving averages are plotted directly on the price chart.
🎯 Practical Use Cases
Identifying trend initiation points
Confirming pullback breakouts
Acting as an entry timing assistant
Using MA 3 as a trend filter / exit warning
⚠️ Important Notes
This indicator may generate false signals in sideways or ranging markets.
Best used in combination with:
Higher-timeframe trend confirmation
Volume indicators
Support & resistance levels
🧠 Summary
✔️ Price ↔ Moving Average crossover
❌ Moving Average ↔ Moving Average crossover
This indicator is designed for trend-following traders who want clear and simple price confirmation signals.

Scalping-optimized version (3m / 5m)
Trend + Momentum filtered version
Daytrading Suite: Neon TPO + FVG v6.1Here is the summary of the code and the trading guide in English.
---
### 1. Code Summary: What does the chart show?
The script combines three dimensions of trading into a single chart:
* **The Context (TPO / Market Profile - Yesterday):**
* **Gold Zone (Center):** Yesterday's **POC (Point of Control)**. This was the "fairest price". It often acts as a magnet.
* **White Dashed Lines:** The **VAH (Value Area High)** and **VAL (Value Area Low)**. Yesterday, 70% of all trading volume happened between these lines. This is the area of "Balance".
* **The Structure (HTF - 1 Hour+):**
* **Red/Green Boxes (Right Edge):** Automatic **Supply & Demand Zones** based on the 1-hour chart (or your setting). They indicate major resistance and support levels.
* **The Timing (Entries):**
* **Neon FVG Boxes (Small):** "Fair Value Gaps". These represent imbalances in price. If price revisits these, it is often your **entry signal**.
* **Lines (VWAP, EMA, PDH/PDL):** Act as dynamic support and trend indicators.
---
### 2. Trading Strategy: How to use it
Do not just trade every colored spot. You must combine **Location (TPO)** with **Signal (FVG)**.
#### Step A: The Open (Where are we?)
In the morning (or at the US Open), check where the price is relative to the **white TPO lines**.
1. **Inside the White Lines (In Balance):**
* The market is undecided. Expect ranging/choppy behavior.
* **Strategy:** Buy at the bottom edge (VAL), Sell at the top edge (VAH). The target is often the Gold Zone (POC) in the middle.
2. **Outside the White Lines (Imbalance):**
* The market is seeking new prices. Danger of a Trend!
* **Strategy:** If price breaks above VAH and tests it from above -> **Long**. If it breaks below VAL -> **Short**.
#### Step B: The Setup (The High Probability Scenario)
Here is the "Rejection" Setup (Long Example):
1. Price drops to the lower white line (**VAL**) or into a green **Demand Zone**.
2. It bounces (shows a wick).
3. In the process, a small **green Neon FVG** is formed.
4. **Entry:** Limit Order at the top of the Neon FVG.
5. **Target:** The Gold Zone (POC) or the upper white line (VAH).
6. **Stop Loss:** Below the recent swing low.
#### Step C: Warning Signals (When NOT to trade)
* **In "No Man's Land":** If the price is sitting right in the middle between Gold (POC) and White (VAH/VAL), do nothing. The risk is 50/50. Wait until price hits an edge.
* **Against the Flow:** If EMA 9 and 21 are pointing steeply downwards, do not buy blindly at the VAL just because the line is there. Wait for confirmation (FVG).
### Pre-Trade Checklist:
1. **Level:** Am I at a white line (VAH/VAL) or the Gold Zone (POC)?
2. **Structure:** Do I have an HTF Demand/Supply Zone backing me up?
3. **Trigger:** Do I see a Neon FVG pointing in my direction?
Liquidity Sweep Sniper AP StyleAP Capital – Liquidity Sweep Sniper (Fab-Style)
📌 Overview
This indicator is a precision scalping tool inspired by professional liquidity-based trading concepts often demonstrated by elite intraday scalpers.
The script focuses on liquidity sweeps followed by strong displacement, aiming to capture short, high-probability momentum moves — particularly effective on lower timeframes (1–5 min) during active market sessions.
It is not a signal spam tool. Signals appear only when multiple objective conditions align.
🧠 Core Concept
Markets do not move randomly — they seek liquidity before expanding.
This indicator identifies:
Buy-side / Sell-side liquidity
Liquidity sweeps (stop-hunts)
Strong displacement candles reclaiming price
Optional higher-timeframe trend alignment
Only when all conditions are met does a signal print.
🔍 What the Indicator Detects
1️⃣ Liquidity Pools
Equal highs or equal lows detected within a configurable lookback
Minimum number of touches required
ATR-based tolerance to adapt to volatility
These levels represent areas where stop orders are likely resting.
2️⃣ Liquidity Sweep
A valid sweep requires:
Price to wick beyond the liquidity level
Candle to close back inside the range
This indicates failed breakout / stop-hunt behaviour.
3️⃣ Displacement Confirmation
After the sweep, the candle must show:
Strong body (default >60% of candle range)
Candle range large relative to ATR
Clear directional intent (momentum)
This filters out weak reactions and chop.
4️⃣ Optional Trend Filter
EMA-based higher-timeframe bias
Helps align scalps with dominant direction
Can be enabled or disabled
📈 Signals
BUY: Sell-side liquidity sweep → bullish displacement
SELL: Buy-side liquidity sweep → bearish displacement
Signals are plotted directly on the chart and can be used with alerts.
⚙️ Recommended Usage
Markets: XAUUSD, indices, liquid FX pairs
Timeframes: 1m–5m
Sessions: London & New York (best performance)
Risk Management: Always required — this tool does not place trades
Best used as a confirmation tool, not standalone.
⚠️ Important Notes
This indicator is inspired by liquidity-based scalping concepts, not an exact replication of any individual trader’s private strategy.
No indicator predicts the future — this tool highlights high-probability scenarios, not guarantees.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Bull/Bear vs Base vs Index (% Change Spread)Visualizes the performance gap ("Beta Decay") between 3x Leveraged ETFs (SOXL/SOXS) and their underlying sector (SOXX), relative to the S&P 500 (SPY).
This indicator is designed for traders who trade leveraged products (like SOXL/SOXS, TQQQ/SQQQ) and need to see true relative strength beyond simple price action.
It calculates the percentage change over a user-defined lookback period for four instruments:
Base (1x): The sector benchmark (Default: SOXX).
Bull (3x): The leveraged long ETF (Default: SOXL).
Bear (-3x): The leveraged inverse ETF (Default: SOXS).
Index: The broad market zero-line (Default: SPY).
It then plots the Spread to reveal the health of the trend:
Bull Spread (Green Line): Bull % - Base %
Bear Spread (Red Line): Bear % - Base %
Base vs Index (Filled Area): Base % - SPY %
🧠 The Logic: Why Use Spreads?
In a perfectly efficient trending market, a 3x Bull ETF should move exactly 300% of the underlying asset. However, in choppy or volatile markets, volatility decay (beta slippage) causes leveraged ETFs to underperform mathematically.
Positive Spread: The leveraged ETF is successfully capturing momentum (The "Sweet Spot").
Negative Spread: The leveraged ETF is suffering from drag or the underlying asset is chopping.
📈 Recommended Trading Plan
Note: This indicator works best as a filter for entry conditions, not a standalone signal. Always use proper risk management.
Strategy A: The "Clean Trend" (Momentum)
Goal: Enter a 3x position only when volatility drag is minimal.
1. Bull Signal:
Condition 1: The Base vs Index (Area) is Green (Sector is outperforming SPY).
Condition 2: The Bull Spread (Green Line) is Positive (> 0).
Why: This confirms the sector is strong AND the 3x ETF is amplifying that move efficiently without decay eating the profits.
2. Bear Signal:
Condition 1: The Base vs Index (Area) is Red (Sector is lagging SPY).
Condition 2: The Bear Spread (Red Line) is Positive (> 0).
Why: This confirms the sector is crashing and the Bear ETF is successfully capturing the downside momentum.
Strategy B: The "Decay Avoidance" (Cash is King)
Goal: Avoid leveraged funds during chop.
Condition: If BOTH the Bull Spread and Bear Spread are Negative (< 0) (below the zero line).
Action: Stay in Cash or trade the 1x underlying (SOXX) only.
Why: When both spreads are negative, it mathematically proves that the market is too choppy for leverage. Both the Long and Short leveraged funds are losing value relative to the underlying asset.
Features:
Pine Script® v6: Updated for the latest engine performance and visuals.
Dashboard Table: Real-time percentage spreads displayed directly on the chart (customizable position).
Fully Customizable: Works on any sector (e.g., set inputs to QQQ/TQQQ/SQQQ for Tech).
Disclaimer:
Trading leveraged ETFs involves significant risk. This script is for educational purposes only.
Day Color CandlesThe script uses TradingView’s built-in dayofweek value (where Monday = 1 and Sunday = 7) to detect the current bar’s weekday.
For each weekday, a specific color is assigned — green for Monday, blue for Tuesday, purple for Wednesday, orange for Thursday, yellow for Friday, gray for Saturday, and red for Sunday.
Instead of plotting new candles, the script uses barcolor() to recolor the existing chart candles. This avoids conflicts with TradingView’s rule that a script may contain only one main declaration. The price data remains unchanged — only the visual appearance of the candles is modified to help the user visually separate trading days.

CVD Divergence Background By HKOverview This indicator visualizes Delta Divergences (also known as Absorption) directly on your main chart. It highlights candles where the price direction contradicts the underlying net volume flow (CVD). This is a powerful method to spot "traps," limit order absorption, and potential reversals.
How it Works The script calculates the Intrabar Volume Delta based on price action relative to the candle's range. It then compares this Delta with the candle's color (Open vs. Close).
Bearish Divergence (Absorption Top):
Scenario: The candle is GREEN (Price closed higher), but the Volume Delta is NEGATIVE (Net Selling).
Visual: Red Background.
Meaning: Sellers are aggressively absorbing the buying pressure via limit orders. Price struggled to rise despite the volume.
Bullish Divergence (Absorption Bottom):
Scenario: The candle is RED (Price closed lower), but the Volume Delta is POSITIVE (Net Buying).
Visual: Green Background.
Meaning: Buyers are aggressively absorbing the selling pressure via limit orders. Price struggled to fall despite the volume.
Features
Background Highlighting: Instantly spot divergences without checking a separate oscillator window.
Seamless Integration: Works perfectly behind your price candles and other indicators (like Big Trade detectors).
Customizable: You can adjust the colors and transparency to fit your chart theme.
Use Case Use this to identify exhausted moves. If you see a green candle with a red background at a resistance level, it suggests that buyers are running into a wall of sellers, increasing the probability of a reversal.
MGC1! Sniper Levels [NY Midnight + PDH/PDL + VWAP]This script, titled "MGC1! Sniper Levels ," is a specialized institutional-grade technical indicator designed for intraday trading on Micro Gold (MGC1!) futures. It merges Time & Price theory with Statistical Volatility to create a comprehensive roadmap for high-probability "Sniper" entries.
Core Technical Components
NY Midnight Pivot: Automatically identifies and plots the New York Midnight opening price. This level serves as the "True Open" for the daily session, helping traders determine whether the market is in a Premium or Discount zone relative to the daily start.
Previous Day Structure (PDH/PDL): Displays the Previous Day’s High and Low using a background security call. These levels are primary targets for Liquidity Sweeps (trapping retail traders) before a reversal occurs.
Advanced Session VWAP: Calculates the Volume Weighted Average Price starting from the session open. Unlike a standard moving average, VWAP represents the true fair value based on actual capital commitment.
Standard Deviation Extensions (SD 1, 2, 3): Plots three layers of volatility bands based on the variance of price and volume.
SD1 & SD2: Act as dynamic support and resistance within normal market conditions.
SD3 (Extreme Zones): Highlights the "Extreme Long" and "Extreme Short" zones, representing areas where 99.7% of price action is statistically contained, often leading to sharp mean-reversion moves.
Key Features & Interface
Customizable Labels: Includes a specific toggle to show or hide Standard Deviation labels. This allows for a cleaner chart when focusing on ICT/SMC price action while maintaining the colored "Zones" for visual context.
Real-Time Vignettes: High-contrast labels appear at the right edge of the price action, providing the exact numerical value of every key level (VWAP, PDH, NY Midnight) for immediate order execution.
Previous VWAP Close: Plots the final VWAP value from the prior session. This level often acts as a magnetic "fair value" target during the current session's open.
Strategic Trading Application
The script is built for the Gold Sniper MGC1! persona to identify "Smart Money" reversals. A typical setup involves waiting for price to reach an SD3 Extreme Zone that coincides with the PDH or PDL. Once the price "sweeps" these levels and shows a Market Structure Shift (MSS) back toward the VWAP, a high-probability trade is triggered.
alplerThe 4H Engulf Indicator is a rule-based price action tool designed to identify high-probability trading opportunities on the 4-hour timeframe. Its core logic is built around bullish and bearish engulfing candles, which are widely accepted as strong reversal or continuation signals in technical analysis.
This indicator focuses only on confirmed engulfing patterns, meaning the signal is generated after the candle is fully closed, not while it is forming. This helps eliminate false signals and emotional, premature entries. When a bullish engulfing candle appears, the indicator marks a bullish signal, suggesting potential upward momentum. Conversely, when a bearish engulfing candle forms, a bearish signal is displayed, indicating possible downward pressure.
One of the key strengths of the 4H Engulf Indicator is its clarity and simplicity. Signals are shown directly on the chart using visually clear arrows and labels, allowing the trader to quickly assess market direction without clutter. The indicator does not predict the market; instead, it reacts to confirmed price behavior, which aligns well with disciplined and systematic trading.
The 4-hour timeframe provides a balance between noise reduction and timely opportunities, making this indicator suitable for swing traders and position traders. When combined with trend filters, risk management rules, or higher-timeframe analysis, the 4H Engulf Indicator becomes a powerful component of a professional trading system.

ODTE Layman Signals 📌 Script Name
Layman Options Signals – Structured BUY CALL / BUY PUT with SL & TP
📖 Overview
This indicator is a complete, finished intraday trading system designed to simplify options trading (including 0DTE and weekly options) by converting price action and market structure into clear, actionable signals.
The script performs all analysis in the background and displays only what the trader needs to execute consistently:
BUY CALL or BUY PUT
Predefined Stop Loss (SL)
Two Take Profit levels (TP1 and TP2)
Trade status and levels displayed in a live status box
The focus of this tool is execution discipline, not prediction.
🧠 Core Concepts Used (What Makes This Script Original)
This script combines multiple price-action concepts into a single, rule-based framework:
1️⃣ Opening Range Breakout (ORB)
The script calculates the opening range high and low using the first X minutes of the regular session.
Trades are only allowed above ORB high for CALLs and below ORB low for PUTs.
This filters low-quality trades during early chop.
2️⃣ Market Structure Confirmation
CALL trades require higher highs and higher lows
PUT trades require lower lows and lower highs
This prevents trading against structure.
3️⃣ Retest & Liquidity Sweep Validation
Breakouts are validated using:
ORB retests (price accepts above/below the range)
Liquidity sweeps (false breakouts that trap traders)
This helps reduce fake breakouts.
4️⃣ Volatility-Aware Risk Management
Stop losses are placed using market structure + ATR buffer
This avoids stops being placed at obvious levels.
5️⃣ Multi-Target Trade Management
TP1 = partial profit (risk reduction)
TP2 = runner target (trend continuation)
After TP1, stop loss can move to breakeven (optional)
6️⃣ Discipline Controls
Only one active trade at a time
Cooldown period after a stop loss
Prevents over-trading and revenge trading
📊 What the Indicator Displays
The script plots the following directly on the chart:
Entry level
Stop Loss (SL)
Take Profit 1 (TP1)
Take Profit 2 (TP2)
Opening Range High & Low
It also includes a Status Box that always shows one of the following states:
WAIT
BUY CALL
BUY PUT
IN TRADE
COOLDOWN
This allows traders to understand the current state at a glance without reading code.

Market Phase Dashboard MTFGetting into a trade is the easy part. if anyone out there could use a little assistance in knowing when to exit a trade this ones for you..
This is a Market Phase Dashboard MTF (Multi-Timeframe) that classifies market conditions into 4 distinct phases based on trend + momentum alignment. Here's what it does:
The 4 Market Phases:
CONTINUATION 🟢 - Uptrend (EMA rising) + Strong momentum (RSI > 55)
Translation: "Trend is strong, keep riding it"
SLOWING 🟠 - Two scenarios:
Uptrend but momentum fading (RSI ≤ 55), OR
Downtrend but momentum not fully committed (RSI ≥ 45)
Translation: "Trend losing steam, be cautious"
EXHAUSTION 🔴 - Downtrend (EMA falling) + Weak momentum (RSI < 45)
Translation: "Trend is dying, possible reversal coming"
NEUTRAL ⚪ - Anything that doesn't fit above (shouldn't happen much with these thresholds)
Multi-Timeframe View:
Shows phases for:
Chart TF - Whatever timeframe you're viewing (only updates on confirmed bar close)
5m - Always shows 5-minute phase
15m - Always shows 15-minute phase
Visual Cues:
Background color changes based on the live chart timeframe phase (updates in real-time, not waiting for bar close)
Table shows confirmed phases for all timeframes
Practical Use:
Helps you understand if different timeframes are aligned. For example:
All 3 showing CONTINUATION = strong aligned trend, high confidence trades
15m EXHAUSTION but 5m CONTINUATION = possible short-term bounce in downtrend
Mixed signals = choppy/transitional market, stay cautious
It's basically a trend health checker across multiple timeframes at a glance! I am also in the works of adding every higher time frame so that it will consist of 5 min all the way to the 12 mo time frame i will keep you guys updated as i update this indicator.
