Heikin Ashi Wick Strategy
🔥 Heikin Ashi Wick Momentum Strategy
“Trade momentum decay before the trend breaks.
>> FOCUS ON WICKS, NOT ONLY CANDLE COLOR<<
What Makes This Different (Traffic Driver)
✔ Uses Heikin Ashi wicks (almost nobody does this correctly)
✔ Captures trend continuation, not breakouts
✔ Exits before momentum collapse, not after
✔ Non-repainting
✔ Clean charts, instant readability
This Strategy Is REALLY Trading
This is a Heikin Ashi momentum-decay system:
• Enters when trend is strong but not euphoric
• Exits when:
o Trend stops probing higher
o Sellers gain relative strength
It avoids:
• Chasing strong breakout candles
• Holding through momentum rollovers
Candle Type Used: Heikin Ashi (manually calculated)
NOTE: The script does not use regular candles.
It reconstructs Heikin Ashi (HA) candles from raw OHLC:
• HA Close = average of open, high, low, close
• HA Open = midpoint of prior HA candle (smoothed)
• HA High / Low = extremes of HA open/close vs real high/low
➡️ This filters noise and emphasizes trend structure and momentum.
Strengths
✅ Works well in strong, smooth trends
✅ Very clean logic (no indicators)
✅ Non-repainting
✅ Early exits protect capital
Best Use
This works best on:
• Daily timeframe
• Strong trend ETFs / megacaps
o QQQ
o SPY
o NVDA, MSFT, AAPL
• When combined with:
o EMA 21 trend filter (your preference)
o Market regime filter (e.g., above 50/200 SMA)
o Rising 10 EMA and 20 EMA
________________________________________
8️⃣ Weaknesses (Important)
⚠️ No stop loss (only structure-based exits)
⚠️ Can exit too early in explosive trends
⚠️ Will chop in sideways markets
⚠️ No volatility filter (ATR, EMA, regime)
How to Avoid the Weaknesses — Summary
Turn the setup from a concept into a robust strategy by adding these controls:
1. Trade Only Trends
o Require price above EMA-21 (optionally EMA-21 > EMA-50)
o Eliminates chop and sideways markets
2. Improve Exits (Avoid Leaving Winners Too Early)
o Partial exit when upper wick disappears
o Full exit only when lower wick dominates
o Optional: require 2 consecutive exit candles
3. Add Risk Protection
o Use a volatility stop: ~1.5× ATR(14) below entry or below HA swing low
o Protects against gaps and sudden reversals
4. Filter Weak Signals
o Require meaningful wick size (≈30–40% of candle range)
o Avoids low-quality indecision candles
5. Avoid Bad Volatility
o Skip entries when ATR is expanding aggressively
o Focus on calmer, controllable trends
6. Limit Time in Trade
o Add a max bars hold (e.g., 10–15 bars on daily)
o Prevents capital getting stuck in fading trends

## 📚 ICT Concepts Explained
### **Liquidity Sweep:**
Smart money intentionally pushes price beyond key levels to trigger retail stop losses, then reverses to their intended direction. The X marker identifies these moments.
### **Swing Failure Pattern (SFP):**
Price attempts to make a new high/low but lacks follow-through, indicating weak momentum and likely reversal. Similar to a "false breakout" but more specific to swing structures.
### **Supply & Demand Zones:**
- **Red zones** = Areas where selling pressure overwhelmed buyers
- **Green zones** = Areas where buying pressure overwhelmed sellers
- These zones act as magnets for price to return and react
---
## 🎓 Best Practices
1. **Confluence is Key:**
- Combine with daily/weekly bias
- Check for orderblocks nearby
- Look for imbalances (FVG)
2. **Session Timing:**
- Best during London/New York sessions
- Avoid low liquidity periods
3. **Risk Management:**
- Never risk more than 1-2% per trade
- Use proper lot sizing
- Take partial profits at key levels
4. **Timeframe Correlation:**

Swing Elite Trend Direction [Free]Swing Elite Trend Direction
This indicator automatically identifies and labels market structure by detecting swing highs and swing lows, then classifying them as Higher Highs (HH), Higher Lows (HL), Lower Highs (LH), and Lower Lows (LL).
🔍 What It Does
The indicator uses a depth-based pivot detection algorithm to find significant swing points in price action. Each swing is then compared to the previous swing of the same type to determine the market structure:
HH (Higher High): Current swing high is above the previous swing high → bullish structure
HL (Higher Low): Current swing low is above the previous swing low → bullish structure
LH (Lower High): Current swing high is below the previous swing high → bearish structure
LL (Lower Low): Current swing low is below the previous swing low → bearish structure
📈 How To Use
Trend Identification:
Bullish trend is confirmed when you see HH followed by HL (or HL followed by HH)
Bearish trend is confirmed when you see LL followed by LH (or LH followed by LL)
The zigzag line color changes based on confirmed trend direction
Trade Setups:
In a bullish trend, look for pullbacks to HL areas for long entries
In a bearish trend, look for rallies to LH areas for short entries
Trend changes are signaled when structure breaks (e.g., bullish trend making a LL)
Depth Setting:
Higher depth values (e.g., 34-55) capture major swings for higher timeframe analysis
Lower depth values (e.g., 8-21) capture minor swings for shorter-term trading
Adjust based on your trading style and timeframe

Daily Candle Bias Backtesting Stats @MaxMaserati This indicator, is a powerful backtesting and probability tool designed to quantify the "follow-through" of specific candle types across different market sessions.
It identifies specific price action setups and tracks whether price hits a "Target" (continuation) or an "Invalidation" (reversal) first, providing real-time win rates for your favorite sessions.
The Candle Bias Stats indicator automatically categorizes every candle based on the MMM candle bias and tracks their historical success rate. It calculates how often a candle's high/low is broken before its opposite end is touched. By breaking this data down into sessions (Asian, London, NY), it identifies high-probability "time-of-day" windows where specific price action setups are most reliable.
MMM CANDLE LOGIC
Bullish Expansion & Breakout Signatures
Bullish Body Close Plus (BuBC Plus): Represents strong bullish momentum where price closes above the previous high and near its own top, signaling that buyers are in complete control.
Bullish Body Close Minus (BuBC Minus): Indicates weak bullish momentum; while the price closes above the previous high, a long top wick shows sellers pushed back, suggesting a potential retest of the previous high.
Bearish Expansion & Breakout Signatures
Bearish Body Close Plus (BeBC Plus): A very strong bearish signal where price closes below the previous low and near its own bottom, indicating sellers are dominant.
Bearish Body Close Minus (BeBC Minus): Signifies weak bearish momentum; the price breaks the previous low but finishes with a long bottom wick as buyers push back, often leading to a retest of the old ceiling.
Bullish Reversal & Trap Signatures (Affinity)
Bullish Affinity Plus (BuAF Plus): A strong bullish reversal where a new low is made, but sellers hit a wall and get trapped, causing price to finish near its top with a long bottom wick.
Bullish Affinity Minus (BuAF Minus): A weak bullish bounce where a new low is made and price finishes back inside the previous range, but buyers lack the energy for a significant move.
Bearish Reversal & Trap Signatures (Affinity)
Bearish Affinity Plus (BeAF Plus): A strong bearish reversal; buyers are trapped after making a new high, and price finishes near its bottom with a long top wick.
Bearish Affinity Minus (BeAF Minus): A weak bearish drop where sellers stop the rise but lack the energy to push price significantly lower.
Neutral & Volatility Signatures
Close Inside Bullish (CI•BuAF): Bullish neutral state where price stays inside the previous candle’s range but finishes in the top half, indicating buyers are slightly more active.
Close Inside Bearish (CI•BeAF): Bearish neutral state where price remains inside the previous box and finishes in the bottom half.
Seek & Destroy Bullish (S&D•BuAF): Bullish volatility characterized by price moving above and below the previous candle before buyers win the battle and close price near the top.
Seek & Destroy Bearish (S&D•BeAF): Bearish volatility where sellers win a high-chaos battle, closing price near the bottom after sweeping both sides of the previous candle.
H4 CANDLE EXAMPLE
Deep Dive: Analysis of the 4H Statistics
The image presents a comprehensive backtest of 4,999 total candles from September 2022 to December 2025. Here is the breakdown of what the interface is telling us:
1. The Strategy: Target vs. Invalidation
The indicator tracks BuBC (Bullish Body Close) and BeBC (Bearish Body Close).
The Target: For a Bullish candle, the target is the High. For a Bearish candle, it is the Low.
The Invalidation: The opposite end of the candle (the Low for Bullish, the High for Bearish).
The Goal: To see which level is touched first in the subsequent bars.
2. Global Performance (The Top Right Table)
Looking at the BuBC (1402 samples) section:
Target First (67.8%): In nearly 7 out of 10 cases, once a 4H candle closes "bullish" (breaking the previous high), the price continues higher to break its own high before it ever returns to take out its own low.
Both Hit (17.7%): This is a critical metric. It represents "Stop Runs" or "Wicks" where price hits the target but also hits the invalidation within the same tracking period.
Efficiency (1.3 Bars): This tells us the "follow-through" is almost immediate. If the trade doesn't work within 1 or 2 candles, the statistical edge drops off significantly.
3. The Session Breakdown (The Bottom Left Table)
This is where the "Edge" is found. Not all hours of the day are created equal.
Asian Late (02:00-06:00) – The "Star" Performer: With a 72.9% Target rate, this is labeled "BEST." It has the lowest "Both%" (6.5%), meaning moves during these hours are incredibly "clean." If a setup forms here, price usually moves directly to the target without looking back.
London Open & Overlap (06:00-14:00): These sessions maintain a high win rate (approx. 70%). This suggests that the European session provides reliable trend continuation for the S&P 500.
NY Session (14:00-18:00) – The "Trap" Zone: This is labeled "WORST" for a reason. While the win rate is basically a coin flip (49.6%), the Both% spikes to 36.7%. This means that even if you are right about the direction, the market is highly likely to "sweep" your stop loss before going to the target. It is the most volatile and "fake-out" prone time for this specific setup.
Summary of the Data
The statistics show that the S&P 500 4H Candle Bias is a highly reliable trend-following indicator, provided you trade it at the right time.
The data suggests a clear three-step logic:
Directional Edge: Both Bullish and Bearish body closes have a natural ~67% probability of continuation.
Timing is Everything: Trading during the Late Asian and London sessions increases your probability of success to over 70% with very low risk of a "fake-out."
Risk Warning: Avoid "Body Close" breakout strategies during the NY Mid-day (14:00-18:00). The statistics prove that this window is dominated by "Seek and Destroy" price action, where price is mathematically likely to hit both your target and your stop, usually hitting the stop first.

Body Close Continuity & failure Backtesting @MaxMaseratiThis indicator, is a highly advanced institutional-grade tool designed to track the "lifespan" of a trend based on Body Close (BC) sequences.
Unlike basic indicators that just show direction, this script analyzes the structural integrity of a trend by monitoring how many candles continue the move before a "Touch" (retest) or a "Break" (failure) occurs.
The Continuity & Failure Stats indicator tracks sequences of Bullish Body Closes (BuBC) and Bearish Body Closes (BeBC). It measures three critical phases: Building (pure momentum), Touching (price retesting the low/high of the sequence), and Resumption (price continuing the trend after a retest). It provides a statistical distribution of how long these "buildings" typically last before failing, allowing traders to know exactly when a trend is overextended.
This comprehensive analysis blends the statistical breakdown of the Continuity & Failure Stats indicator to provide a deep understanding of the structural momentum for the S&P 500 E-mini (ES1!) on a 4-hour timeframe.
1. Extensive Table Breakdown
A. Building Distribution (Left Table): The Fatigue Gauge
This table acts as a histogram of momentum, tracking the "Building Count"—the number of consecutive candles closing in a trend without price returning to its origin.
Count Column: Represents the streak length (e.g., 1, 2, or 3 candles).
Touch Column: Shows how many times a streak was interrupted by a retest ("touch") but remained structurally intact.
Break Column: Counts total structural failures where price closed beyond the sequence's anchor.
Data Insight: For BuBC, 92 sequences reached Count 1, but only 28 remained by Count 4. This reveals a steep momentum decay after the 3rd candle, establishing a "Statistical Wall" where only 2 sequences in history reached a count of 9.
B. MMM Summary Stats (Top Right): The Mathematical DNA
This table provides the "Expected Value" and behavior of a trend over the lookback period.
Avg Building (2.39 for BuBC): On average, a bullish move lasts ~2.4 candles of pure momentum before a retest or reversal occurs.
Avg Touches (0.8): This low number indicates "clean" trends that rarely wobble back to retest levels multiple times before reaching a conclusion.
Avg R Cycles (0.55): This suggests that once a bullish trend is interrupted, it only successfully resumes its momentum about half the time.
Max R Count (1): Typically, once a trend is "touched," it only manages one more push before failing.
C. Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Quick Stats (Bottom Right): Trend Weight
This compares the 4H chart against other layers of the market to identify "global" alignment.
Sample Comparison: There are 3,594 tracked BuBC sequences on the 4H compared to only 142 on the Weekly chart.
Fractal Law: The Avg Building (2.4) is consistent across several timeframes, implying that the "Rule of Three" (momentum fading after 3 candles) is a fractal characteristic of this asset.
2. Table Comparison: Synthesizing the Data
To trade effectively, you must compare Distribution (timing) against Summary Stats (averages):
Continuity vs. Failure: The Summary Stats show an average building of 2.39. When checking the Distribution table at Count 2, the "Break" count (58) is already high relative to the "Total". This confirms that the risk of failure increases exponentially the moment you exceed the average.
Momentum vs. Mean Reversion: Distribution tells you when a trend is "tired". If the 4H is at a "Building Count 4" (statistically overextended) while the Weekly chart is at "Building Count 1" (fresh momentum), you may choose to prioritize the higher timeframe's strength despite the local overextension.
3. Strategic Summary & Application
This indicator proves that market momentum follows a predictable "Building" cycle rather than an infinite streak.
The "Rule of Three" for ES1! 4H:
The Entry Zone (Momentum Start): The most profitable entries occur at Building Count 1. Statistically, you have a high probability of reaching a count of 2 or 3.
The Exit Zone (Momentum Limit): Take profits or tighten stops at Count 3. The data shows the sample size drops by nearly 50% between Count 3 and Count 4.
The "Touch" Rule (Retest Reliability): If price returns to the sequence low (a "Touch"), do not expect a massive continuation. The Max R Count of 1 tells us that resumptions are usually short-lived.
Danger Zone: Entering at Building Count 4 or higher is statistically dangerous, as the "Break" probability significantly outweighs the "Touch" or continuation probability.
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?

Continuation Failure Engine 2-F2 (A+ Only)Continuation Failure – High-Prob 2-F2 (A+ Only)
Best Timeframe: 15-minute chart
Usage:
Designed to detect high-probability 2-bar continuation failures (Failed 2 setups) graded A+. Works best when combined with the Strat Structure Engine 3-F2 Tiered. You will also find the same high-probability failures occurring in the 3-F2 setups, providing complementary confirmation.
Key Areas for Setup Identification:
Session highs and lows from Sessions & ICT Killzones (0xCryptoVince)
Fair Value Gap Extend FVG to 300
Strat Assistant
30-minute Opening Range Breakout (ORB)
VWAP
Signal Logic:
Failed 2-Up (red label): Price attempted upward continuation but reversed — potential short.
Failed 2-Down (green label): Price attempted downward continuation but reversed — potential long.
A+ Grade Criteria: Strong ATR range, close against trend, large body, above-average volume.
Alerts: Configurable for all A+ setups, triggers at bar close when a 2→F2 occurs.
Notes: Use this script to identify high-probability failures at the defined key zones. Works best in conjunction with the 3-F2 structure for a complete Strat analysis and to locate overlapping failure setups.
Supplementary Information / Facts:
What a Failed 2 actually represents (fact)
In The Strat, a Failed 2 is objectively defined as:
Price attempts continuation in one direction (breaks a prior high or low),
Fails to follow through, and
Closes back inside / opposite.
That is not just a candle pattern — it is failed acceptance of price, which aligns with auction market theory:
Markets probe for value
If participation is weak → rejection occurs
Source: CME Group – Understanding Market Profile & Auction Theory
Why session highs/lows matter (fact)
Asia / London / NY highs & lows are:
Liquidity pools
Areas where resting stop orders accumulate
Known reference points for both discretionary and systematic traders
Large participants expect liquidity there. When price breaks a session high/low:
Stops trigger
Liquidity is accessed
If no higher-timeframe acceptance appears → price snaps back
That snapback is exactly what your Failed 2 is capturing.
Source: CME Group – Liquidity, Stops, and Market Structure
Why VWAP keeps lining up (fact)
VWAP is not mystical — it is:
The average price weighted by volume, used institutionally as a fair-value benchmark.
Institutions actively defend VWAP:
Above VWAP = favorable for longs
Below VWAP = favorable for shorts
When price:
Extends away from VWAP,
Attempts continuation,
Fails and reclaims VWAP,
You often get a Failed 2 reversal because the auction rejected “unfair” price.
Source: Berkowitz et al., VWAP Trading Strategies (Journal of Trading); CME Group – VWAP as Institutional Benchmark
Why Fair Value Gaps are magnets for Failed 2s (fact + interpretation)
Fact: A Fair Value Gap (FVG) represents:
Inefficient price discovery
One-sided aggressive order flow
Thin participation
Markets statistically revisit inefficiencies.
What happens at an FVG:
Price returns
Liquidity is tested
Either acceptance or rejection occurs
When price:
Tags an FVG,
Attempts continuation,
Immediately fails,
You get a textbook Failed 2 at an inefficiency — the market saying:
“We checked — no agreement here.”
Source: ICT Concepts (FVG definition); CME Market Microstructure Research on inefficiencies
Concise, Factual Summary / Market Logic:
Liquidity Concentration: Session highs/lows and VWAP are key points where liquidity (orders) naturally accumulates. Price reacting there creates conditions for patterns like your Failed 2 setups.
Market Efficiency: VWAP represents fair value in the session, so price churn near it can trigger imbalance formations or pattern failures.
Imbalance Correction: FVGs are inefficiencies — when price interacts with them after an impulsive move, setups often occur because unfilled orders and market makers revisit those prices.
Confluence = Higher Probability: The strongest reactions happen when FVGs overlap session highs/lows or interact with VWAP, because confluence magnifies where market structure and liquidity converge.
Price Action High 2 + Risk/Reward VisualizerIntroduction: Price Action High 2 (Bull Flag) Setup
This script identifies the High 2 (H2) setup, a staple price action pattern popularized by Al Brooks. The High 2 is a high-probability continuation pattern designed to catch the resumption of a bull trend after a two-legged pullback (a "complex" bull flag).
In a strong uptrend, the first attempt to end a pullback often fails (High 1). The High 2 represents the second, and usually more reliable, attempt by bulls to take control, often forming a "double bottom" structure within the flag.
How the Logic Works
The indicator follows a strict state-machine logic to ensure the pattern is valid:
Trend Confirmation: The script filters for an established uptrend where price is above a rising EMA (adjustable in settings).
Pullback Identification: It looks for a sequence of bars making lower highs.
High 1 (H1): The first bar in the correction that breaks above the high of the prior bar.
The Second Leg: The script then waits for the price to again fail to break a high, confirming a second leg of the pullback.
High 2 (H2): The signal is triggered when a bar breaks the high of the previous bar for the second time.
Key Features
Signal Bar Quality Filter: Not all High 2s are equal. This script includes a filter ensuring the signal bar closes in the upper portion of its range (bullish conviction) to avoid "weak" breakouts.
Automated Risk/Reward Visualizer: Upon a signal, the script automatically projects a Stop Loss (at the signal bar low) and a Take Profit level based on a customizable R:R ratio.
Clean Visuals: Labeled "H2" markers and dashed trend lines keep the chart uncluttered.
How to Trade It
Entry: Place a buy-stop order 1 tick above the High 2 signal bar.
Stop Loss: Traditionally placed below the low of the signal bar or the most recent swing low.
Target: Common targets include a 1:2 Risk/Reward ratio or the previous major swing high.
Settings Guide
EMA Length: Adjust this to match your timeframe (e.g., 20 for intraday, 50 for daily).
Min Close %: Set this to 50% or higher to ensure you only take trades where the bulls finished the bar strong.
Risk:Reward Ratio: Customize your profit targets to align with your personal trading plan.
Opening Range Manipulation DetectorBasic indicator that checks the 15m opening candle to see if it's a manipulation candle or not. You can use aq threshold of 20 to 25% for indices like NQ, ES, YM, or RTY.
BulletProof Long Wick Reversal Markers with LinesThis custom Pine Script indicator for TradingView identifies and marks potential reversal points on your chart based on long wick candles at swing highs (tops) and lows (bottoms). It focuses on candles where the wick is significantly longer than the body (e.g., shooting stars or hammers) and where the subsequent price reversal exceeds a minimum percentage move. Markers appear as colored circles (green for tops, red for bottoms), with horizontal lines extending from each marker to the current bar for easy reference as support/resistance levels.Key Features and InterpretationMarkers (Dots): Green circles at tops: Indicate a potential bearish reversal where price was pushed down after a long upper wick candle.
Red circles at bottoms: Indicate a potential bullish reversal where price was pushed up after a long lower wick candle.
These only appear if the wick-to-body ratio meets the threshold (default 2.0) and the reversal move is at least the minimum percentage (default 1%).
Lines: Horizontal lines extend from each marker to the current bar (updating in real-time). Use these as dynamic levels—e.g., a green top line might act as resistance, while a red bottom line could be support. Lines do not extend into the future blank space on the chart.
Time Filtering: By default, only markers from the last 7 days are shown to reduce clutter. Set to 0 to display all historical ones.
Best Used On: 1-hour charts as per your request, but it works on any timeframe. It's ideal for spotting reversals in trending markets or confirming entries/exits with other indicators.
Anurag Institutional Swing Trader Pro [Robust]nstitutional Swing Flow is a comprehensive, multi-timeframe system designed for swing traders who want to align with "Smart Money" rather than fight against it.
Unlike standard indicators that rely solely on price crossovers, this script analyzes the underlying order flow—tracking stealth accumulation, volume anomalies, and institutional footprints—to generate high-probability swing setups.
Key Features (The "Smart Money" Logic)
1. Institutional Footprints
Stealth Accumulation/Distribution: Detects when price is held in a tight range despite high volume (a classic sign of institutions building a position).
Smart Money Divergence: Identifies when price makes a lower low but Money Flow (OBV/Accumulation-Distribution) makes a higher high.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG): Automatically plots Bullish and Bearish imbalance zones where price is likely to retrace before continuing the trend.
2. Safety First (Risk Management)
Real Earnings Detection: Automatically checks upcoming earnings dates. If an earnings report is within 5 days (adjustable), the script blocks new signals to prevent gambling on binary events.
Visual Exits: Plots dynamic Stop Loss and Take Profit levels on the chart the moment a trade is taken, along with "SL Hit" or "TP Hit" markers for visual backtesting.
3. The "Confluence Score" Dashboard A sophisticated dashboard in the top-right corner rates every setup on a scale of 0 to 100 based on:
Multi-Timeframe Trend: Is the Weekly, Daily, and 4H trend aligned?
Relative Strength: Is the asset outperforming the SPY benchmark?
Volatility: Is the asset in a "Squeeze" (Bollinger Band compression)?
Momentum: RSI, MACD, and CMF confirmation.
Only setups with a score > 65 (adjustable) trigger a BUY or SELL signal.
How to Use
Timeframe: Optimized for 4-Hour (4H) and Daily (D) charts. (Avoid using on <15m charts due to multi-timeframe calculations).
The Signal: Wait for a large "CALL" or "PUT" label.
The Confirmation: Check the Dashboard. Ideally, look for a "Squeeze: YES" combined with a high Institutional Buy Score.
The Exit: Follow the Red (Stop Loss) and Green (Take Profit) lines plotted automatically.

EMA 1 & SALMA Intersection StrategyTrading Strategy: EMA 1 & SALMA Crossover System
This strategy is a Trend-Following system that focuses on the direct interaction between the price (represented by EMA 1) and a smoothed trendline (SALMA). Instead of relying on the color changes of the indicator, it uses mechanical crossover signals to enter and exit trades.
1. Indicators Used
EMA 1 (Exponential Moving Average): Since the period is 1, it effectively represents the Current Price. It reacts instantly to every market move.
SALMA v3.0 (Smoothed Adaptive Lattice Moving Average): A double-smoothed moving average that acts as the "Base Line" or "Trend Support/Resistance."
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Used as a Momentum Filter to ensure we don't trade against the market's strength.
2. Buy (Long) Entry Rules
You enter a Long position when the following conditions are met:
The Crossover: The EMA 1 (Price) crosses ABOVE the SALMA line. This indicates that the short-term momentum is shifting higher than the average trend.
The Filter (RSI): The RSI must be above 50. This confirms that the buyers are in control and the upward move has enough strength.
3. Sell (Short) Entry Rules
You enter a Short position when the following conditions are met:
The Crossunder: The EMA 1 (Price) crosses BELOW the SALMA line. This indicates a breakdown in price action.
The Filter (RSI): The RSI must be below 50. This confirms that the sellers are dominating and the downward momentum is real.
4. Key Advantages of This System
Objectivity: You don't guess based on the color of the line; you wait for a clear physical break (cross) of the line.
Precision: By using EMA 1, you get the earliest possible entry signal compared to slower moving averages.
False Signal Protection: The RSI 50 filter prevents you from entering "weak" trades where the price crosses the line but lacks the volume or momentum to continue.
Manipulation Candle (RIC) V0.2Interpretation and Trading Use
Boxed Candles: Represent 15-minute periods with unusually high range relative to daily volatility. These may signal:
Market manipulation (e.g., stop hunts or fakeouts).
Breakouts, reversals, or high-impact news.
Entry/exit points in strategies focusing on volatility expansion.
No Boxes: Indicates normal or low-volatility candles (range < threshold).
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: On lower timeframes (e.g., 5-min), boxes encompass multiple bars. On higher (e.g., 1-hour), they highlight specific 15-min segments.
Example: On a volatile stock like TSLA, a 0.2 multiplier might highlight candles during earnings releases, aiding in spotting trading opportunities.
Limitations and Considerations
Drawing Limits: TradingView caps drawing objects at ~500 per script. On long histories, older boxes may not load—zoom in or reduce chart bars.
Data Availability: Requires 15-minute and daily data; may not work on illiquid symbols or non-standard charts (e.g., Renko).
Real-Time Delays: Boxes appear only after 15-min closes; no intra-bar drawing.
No Alerts Built-In: Add custom alerts via TradingView's alert system (e.g., on condition changes).
Performance: Efficient, but on very low timeframes with long history, it may use more resources due to persistent boxes.
Customization: For extensions (e.g., labels, multiple timeframes), modify the code carefully in Pine Script® v6 to avoid errors.
Version History
V0.2: Added persistent historical boxes; refined new candle detection.
Future Updates: Potential additions like box limits or multi-multiplier support. Check for updates in the script comments.
If you encounter issues or need customizations, refer to TradingView's Pine Script® documentation or community forums. For error-free extensions in Pine Script® v6, ensure proper variable scoping, type declarations, and testing on historical data.

Daily: 1.0% account risk per trade
Weekly: 0.75% account risk per trade
Monthly: 0.5% account risk per trade
Formula:
Contracts = (Account Equity × Risk%) ÷ (Stop Points × $50)
Minimum = 1 contractStop Losses
Daily: 12 points ($600 per contract)
Weekly: 40 points ($2,000 per contract)
Monthly: 100 points ($5,000 per contract)
Profit Targets (Risk:Reward)
Daily: 2:1 = 24 points ($1,200 profit)
Weekly: 3:1 = 120 points ($6,000 profit)
Monthly: 4:1 = 400 points ($20,000 profit)
Example with $50,000 AccountDaily Trade:
Risk = $500 (1% of $50k)
Stop = 12 points × $50 = $600
Contracts = $500 ÷ $600 = 0.83 → 1 contract
Target = 24 points = $1,200 profit
Weekly Trade:
Risk = $375 (0.75% of $50k)
Stop = 40 points × $50 = $2,000
Contracts = $375 ÷ $2,000 = 0.18 → 1 contract
Target = 120 points = $6,000 profit
Monthly Trade:
Risk = $250 (0.5% of $50k)
Stop = 100 points × $50 = $5,000
Contracts = $250 ÷ $5,000 = 0.05 → 1 contract
Target = 400 points = $20,000 profit

Performance with Okuninushi Line Area Determinations**Performance Indicator with Market Structure Analysis**
Building upon TradingView's official Performance indicator, I've added a custom column to assess current market structure using my Okuninushi Line methodology, which visualizes the AB structure concept.
**What is the AB Structure?**
The AB structure identifies equilibrium levels based on recent price action. The Okuninushi Line calculates the 50% midpoint between the highest high and lowest low over a specified lookback period. In this implementation, I use a 65-day period on the daily timeframe (representing one quarter: 13 weeks × 5 trading days), though this is fully customizable.
**Market Structure Classification:**
- **Above Okuninushi Line** → "upper to okuni" → Price is in the **Premium Area** (bullish structure)
- **Below Okuninushi Line** → "down to okuni" → Price is in the **Discount Area** (bearish structure)
This additional column provides an instant visual reference for whether each asset is currently trading above or below its equilibrium level, complementing the traditional performance metrics with structural context.
