Dual TF VWAP + ATR BandsDual TF VWAP + EMA (3×3 Outer Shells)
A precision volatility framework combining institutional VWAP structure with trend-anchored EMA logic.
🔍 Overview
Dual TF VWAP + EMA is a multi-layer trend and volatility system designed for traders who want clean directional context, controlled volatility boundaries, and a reliable method to spot pivots, expansions, compressions, and exhaustion points across any timeframe.
This tool blends:
Higher-Timeframe VWAP (50-period rolling)
Local EMA Midline (configurable)
3×3 ATR Outer Shells
Directional Color Coding
Signal-Ready Interaction Zones
Unlike traditional Bollinger Bands, Keltner channels, or static envelopes, this indicator adapts dynamically with both price and volume, giving deeper insight into how institutions accumulate, distribute, or expand trends.
🎯 What It Shows
1. Higher-Timeframe VWAP Midline
A 50-period Rolling VWAP that reflects where real volume-weighted control sits.
Perfect for reading:
Institutional trend bias
Value area reclaims
High-confidence mean reversions
High-probability trend continuations
2. Local EMA Trendline (Configurable)
A flexible EMA that acts as your local “risk-on/off” trend gauge.
You can use:
12 EMA for aggression
20 EMA for balanced trending
50 EMA for slower institutional rhythm
This EMA + VWAP pairing creates a powerful trend confirmation system.
3. Outer ATR Shells (U1–U3 / L1–L3)
Three upper and three lower ATR-based shells form a volatility map showing:
U1/L1: First reaction zones
U2/L2: Overextension zones
U3/L3: Exhaustion / blow-off tops / panic bottoms
The 3×3 shells tell you instantly whether price is:
Expanding
Compressing
Overextended
Reversing
Trending cleanly
📘 How To Use It — Practical Trading Logic
1. Trend Confirmation
Bullish: Price above VWAP + EMA rising + 12 EMA above U1
Bearish: Price below VWAP + EMA falling + 12 EMA under L1
2. Reversals
U3/L3 taps signal exhaustion
EMA rejection at U1/U2 confirms fading momentum
VWAP reclaim confirms the reversal
Trend resumes once EMA crosses back above/below VWAP
3. Momentum Acceleration
When price floats above the EMA without touching it and rides between:
EMA → U1 → U2
trend acceleration is underway (trip-wire continuation signal).
4. Safe Entries
EMA reclaim
VWAP reclaim after sweep
EMA → VWAP “compression and release”
Price floating above EMA with U1 break
5. Safe Exits
U2/U3 spikes
EMA flattening
EMA cross back under VWAP
Shell compression before trend shift
---Why This Tool Works---
Traditional bands are one-dimensional:
They react to price only.
This tool uses price + volatility + volume, so it shows:
Real trend strength
Institutional control zones
High-probability reversal points
Low-risk entry pockets
It performs exceptionally well across:
SPY / QQQ
Tech momentum
Small caps
Crypto
High-beta growth names
Summary
Dual TF VWAP + EMA (3×3 Outer Shells) is built for traders who want:
Clear trend direction
Accurate expansion/reversal signals
Dynamic institutional value zones
Multi-timeframe confidence
Clean volatility boundaries
A powerful companion for confirmation systems, breakout strategies, and liquidity-based execution.
Multitimeframe
CyberFX Round NumbersThis is a traditional Round Numbers indicators. As all know RND # are psychological levels that represents Support and Resistance. Of course they are not exact science but in general they can give us a possible level where maybe the price move will be rejected.
One other thing I have been using in my strategy is no matter what the time frame I am trading I always check the Daily trend. We know that the banks and financial institutions are always looking for the high TFs trend for long investments so, on my understand, the Daily trend will affect the lower TFs in one way or other so I decided to add this option into this indicator.
Also to avoid an over crowed chart with many lines around I added the option to Show/Hide the RND# so during the analysis I can check the RND# levels.
The Daily Trend is based on a SMA(200).
Target Reach & Trend ProjectionTarget Reach & Trend Projection
Overview: The Target Reach & Trend Projection indicator helps traders estimate how long (in candles) it might take for the price to reach a chosen target level, while also providing insight into the current and higher-timeframe trend directions.
Key Features
1. Target Projection: Set your custom Target Price manually.
The indicator calculates the expected number of candles needed to reach that price, based on recent price velocity.
Displays an estimated date and time for when the price could reach your target.
2. Trend Detection (Local): Detects the current market direction using one of two methods:
Linear Trend: Measures direct slope between candles.
Smoothed Trend: Uses a moving average slope for cleaner, less noisy trend estimation.
3. Higher-Timeframe Confirmation: Confirms whether the higher timeframe (e.g., 4H, 1D) trend agrees with the local trend.
Displays “✅ Aligned” when both are in sync and “⚠️ Diverging” when not.
4. On-Chart Information: A dynamic label near the target price line shows:
Target level
Trend method used
Estimated candles to target
Current trend direction
Estimated time of arrival (ETA)
Higher-timeframe trend confirmation
5. Visual Feedback: Background color changes lightly to reflect trend direction (green for bullish, red for bearish).
6. Alerts: Optional alerts for when:
The target price is reached.
Both local and higher-timeframe trends align bullishly or bearishly.
How It Works
The script measures the average price velocity (slope) over a chosen lookback period.
It then divides the distance between the current price and the target by that slope to estimate how many candles it might take to get there.
It projects the estimated time of arrival based on your chart’s current timeframe.
The script also checks a higher timeframe trend (using a moving average) for multi-timeframe confirmation.
🧭 Use Cases
Estimating the time horizon for swing trades or targets.
Confirming momentum direction before entering or exiting positions.
Aligning intraday setups with higher-timeframe trends.
⚠️ Notes
Estimates assume current trend velocity continues — it does not predict future volatility or reversals.
Works best on time-based charts with clear directional movement (e.g., 1H, 4H, 1D).
NQ Daily STDV Bands (Market Structure)Plots standard deviation levels off of market open, based upon the previous day's 1m average standard deviation (volatility). The levels can be used to help provide a structure to your trading, and can be especially used as reversal levels. Good for futures trading, I personally use for NQ.

Stochastic + Bollinger Bands Multi-Timeframe StrategyThis strategy fuses the Stochastic Oscillator from the 4-hour timeframe with Bollinger Bands from the 1-hour timeframe, operating on a 10-hour chart to capture a unique volatility rhythm and temporal alignment discovered through observational alpha.
By blending momentum confirmation from the higher timeframe with short-term volatility extremes, the strategy leverages what some traders refer to as “rotating volatility” — a phenomenon where multi-timeframe oscillations sync to reveal hidden trade opportunities.
🧠 Strategy Logic
✅ Long Entry Condition:
Stochastic on the 4H timeframe:
%K crosses above %D
Both %K and %D are below 20 (oversold zone)
Bollinger Bands on the 1H timeframe:
Price crosses above the lower Bollinger Band, indicating a potential reversal
→ A long trade is opened when both momentum recovery and volatility reversion align.
✅ Long Exit Condition:
Stochastic on the 4H:
%K crosses below %D
Both %K and %D are above 80 (overbought zone)
Bollinger Bands on the 1H:
Price reaches or exceeds the upper Bollinger Band, suggesting exhaustion
→ The long trade is closed when either signal suggests a potential reversal or overextension.
🧬 Temporal Structure & Alpha
This strategy is deployed on a 10-hour chart — a non-standard timeframe that may align more effectively with multi-timeframe mean reversion dynamics.
This subtle adjustment exploits what some traders identify as “temporal drift” — the desynchronization of volatility across timeframes that creates hidden rhythm in price action.
→ For example, Stochastic on 4H (lookback 17) and Bollinger Bands on 1H (lookback 20) may periodically sync around 10H intervals, offering unique alpha windows.
📊 Indicator Components
🔹 Stochastic Oscillator (4H, Length 17)
Detects momentum reversals using %K and %D crossovers
Helps define overbought/oversold zones from a mid-term view
🔹 Bollinger Bands (1H, Length 20, ±2 StdDev)
Measures price volatility using standard deviation around a moving average
Entry occurs near lower band (support), exits near upper band (resistance)
🔹 Multi-Timeframe Logic
Uses request.security() to safely reference 4H and 1H indicators from a 10H chart
Avoids repainting by using closed higher-timeframe candles only
📈 Visualization
A plot selector input allows toggling between:
Stochastic Plot (%K & %D, with overbought/oversold levels)
Bollinger Bands Plot (Upper, Basis, Lower from 1H data)
This helps users visually confirm entry/exit triggers in real time.
🛠 Customization
Fully configurable Stochastic and BB settings
Timeframes are independently adjustable
Strategy settings like position sizing, slippage, and commission are editable

Market Profile Dominance Analyzer# Market Profile Dominance Analyzer
## 📊 OVERVIEW
**Market Profile Dominance Analyzer** is an advanced multi-factor indicator that combines Market Profile methodology with composite dominance scoring to identify buyer and seller strength across higher timeframes. Unlike traditional volume profile indicators that only show volume distribution, or simple buyer/seller indicators that only compare candle colors, this script integrates six distinct analytical components into a unified dominance measurement system.
This indicator helps traders understand **WHO controls the market** by analyzing price position relative to Market Profile key levels (POC, Value Area) combined with volume distribution, momentum, and trend characteristics.
## 🎯 WHAT MAKES THIS ORIGINAL
### **Hybrid Analytical Approach**
This indicator uniquely combines two separate methodologies that are typically analyzed independently:
1. **Market Profile Analysis** - Calculates Point of Control (POC) and Value Area (VA) using volume distribution across price channels on higher timeframes
2. **Multi-Factor Dominance Scoring** - Weights six independent factors to produce a composite dominance index
### **Six-Factor Composite Analysis**
The dominance score integrates:
- Price position relative to POC (equilibrium assessment)
- Price position relative to Value Area boundaries (acceptance/rejection zones)
- Volume imbalance within Value Area (institutional bias detection)
- Price momentum (directional strength)
- Volume trend comparison (participation analysis)
- Normalized Value Area position (precise location within fair value zone)
### **Adaptive Higher Timeframe Integration**
The script features an intelligent auto-selection system that automatically chooses appropriate higher timeframes based on the current chart period, ensuring optimal Market Profile structure regardless of the trading timeframe being analyzed.
## 💡 HOW IT WORKS
### **Market Profile Construction**
The indicator builds a Market Profile structure on a higher timeframe by:
1. **Session Identification** - Detects new higher timeframe sessions using `request.security()` to ensure accurate period boundaries
2. **Data Accumulation** - Stores high, low, and volume data for all bars within the current higher timeframe session
3. **Channel Distribution** - Divides the session's price range into configurable channels (default: 20 rows)
4. **Volume Mapping** - Distributes each bar's volume proportionally across all price channels it touched
### **Key Level Calculation**
**Point of Control (POC)**
- Identifies the price channel with the highest accumulated volume
- Represents the price level where the most trading activity occurred
- Serves as a magnetic level where price often returns
**Value Area (VA)**
- Starts at POC and expands both upward and downward
- Includes channels until reaching the specified percentage of total volume (default: 70%)
- Expansion algorithm compares adjacent volumes and prioritizes the direction with higher activity
- Defines the "fair value" zone where most market participants agreed to trade
### **Dominance Score Formula**
```
Dominance Score = (price_vs_poc × 10) +
(price_vs_va × 5) +
(volume_imbalance × 0.5) +
(price_momentum × 100) +
(volume_trend × 5) +
(va_position × 15)
```
**Component Breakdown:**
- **price_vs_poc**: +1 if above POC, -1 if below (shows which side of equilibrium)
- **price_vs_va**: +2 if above VAH, -2 if below VAL, 0 if inside VA
- **volume_imbalance**: Percentage difference between upper and lower VA volumes
- **price_momentum**: 5-period SMA of price change (directional acceleration)
- **volume_trend**: Compares 5-period vs 20-period volume averages
- **va_position**: Normalized position within Value Area (-1 to +1)
The composite score is then smoothed using EMA with configurable sensitivity to reduce noise while maintaining responsiveness.
### **Market State Determination**
- **BUYERS Dominant**: Smooth dominance > +10 (bullish control)
- **SELLERS Dominant**: Smooth dominance < -10 (bearish control)
- **NEUTRAL**: Between -10 and +10 (balanced market)
## 📈 HOW TO USE THIS INDICATOR
### **Trend Identification**
- **Green background** indicates buyers are in control - look for long opportunities
- **Red background** indicates sellers are in control - look for short opportunities
- **Gray background** indicates neutral market - consider range-bound strategies
### **Signal Interpretation**
**Buy Signals** (green triangle) appear when:
- Dominance crosses above -10 from oversold conditions
- Previous state was not already bullish
- Suggests shift from seller to buyer control
**Sell Signals** (red triangle) appear when:
- Dominance crosses below +10 from overbought conditions
- Previous state was not already bearish
- Suggests shift from buyer to seller control
### **Value Area Context**
Monitor the information table (top-right) to understand market structure:
- **Price vs POC**: Shows if trading above/below equilibrium
- **Volume Imbalance**: Positive values favor buyers, negative favors sellers
- **Market State**: Current dominant force (BUYERS/SELLERS/NEUTRAL)
### **Multi-Timeframe Strategy**
The auto-timeframe feature analyzes higher timeframe structure:
- On 1-minute charts → analyzes 2-hour structure
- On 5-minute charts → analyzes Daily structure
- On 15-minute charts → analyzes Weekly structure
- On Daily charts → analyzes Yearly structure
This higher timeframe context helps avoid counter-trend trades against the dominant force.
### **Confluence Trading**
Strongest signals occur when multiple factors align:
1. Price above VAH + positive volume imbalance + buyers dominant = Strong bullish setup
2. Price below VAL + negative volume imbalance + sellers dominant = Strong bearish setup
3. Price at POC + neutral state = Potential breakout/breakdown pivot

- Consider VAH/VAL as profit targets for mean reversion
## ⚠️ LIMITATIONS & WARNINGS
**Data Requirements**
- Requires sufficient historical data on current chart (minimum 100 bars recommended)
- Lower timeframes may show fewer bars per HTF session initially
- More accurate results after several complete HTF sessions have formed
**Not a Standalone System**
- This indicator analyzes market structure and participant control
- Should be combined with price action, support/resistance, and risk management
- Does not guarantee profitable trades - past dominance does not predict future results
**Repainting Characteristics**
- Higher timeframe levels (POC, VAH, VAL) update as new bars form within the session
- Dominance score recalculates with each new bar
- Historical signals remain fixed, but current session data is developing
**Volume Limitations**
- Uses exchange-provided volume data which varies by instrument type
- Forex and some CFDs use tick volume (not actual transaction volume)
- Most accurate on instruments with reliable volume data (stocks, futures, crypto)
## 🔍 TECHNICAL NOTES
**Performance Optimization**
- Uses `max_bars_back=5000` for extended historical analysis
- Efficient array management prevents memory issues
- Automatic cleanup of session data on new period
**Calculation Method**
- Market Profile uses actual volume distribution, not TPO (Time Price Opportunity)
- Value Area expansion follows traditional Market Profile auction theory
- All calculations occur on the chart's current symbol and timeframe

VWAP Wave System ToolkitGENERAL OVERVIEW:
The VWAP Wave System Toolkit is an all-in-one trading indicator based on rules from Auction Market Theory. The indicator is built around Volume-Weighted Average Prices (VWAP), Initial Balance (IB) levels, session/composite volume profiles, low-volume zones, optional candle coloring, trade checklists, dashboard readings, and a watermark.
This indicator was developed by Flux Charts in collaboration with Chris Drysdale (Trader Drysdale), author of the best-selling book VWAP Wave System.
What’s the purpose of this indicator?
The VWAP Wave System Toolkit helps traders see where market value is forming, shifting, or being rejected across different timeframes. It’s built on the ideas of Auction Market Theory, which views the market as a continuous auction between buyers and sellers searching for fair value. The indicator combines VWAPs, Initial Balance levels, and volume profiles into one system that shows how price interacts with value throughout the day, week, and month. By combining short-term and higher-timeframe data, it helps traders understand when the market is balanced and when it’s starting to discover new price areas.
What’s the theory behind this indicator?
This indicator is built on Auction Market Theory, introduced by J. Peter Steidlmayer. The theory says that markets operate as continuous auctions, constantly seeking a fair price where buyers and sellers agree on value. When price stays within a narrow range and volume builds up, the market is balanced around a value area. When price moves away from that area, the market enters price discovery, searching for a new zone of balance. VWAPs represent an evolving measure of value, while Volume Profiles and Initial Balance visualize how the auction developed during each session. Low Volume Zones often show where the market moved too quickly to trade efficiently, making them potential areas of interest for future reactions. By combining these elements, the indicator provides a picture of how the market is auctioning and where value may shift next.
VWAP WAVE SYSTEM TOOLKIT FEATURES:
The VWAP Wave System Toolkit indicator includes 7 main features:
Initial Balance Levels
Multi-Timeframe VWAPs
Session Volume Profile
Composite Volume Profile
Low Volume Zones
Checklist
Watermark
Initial Balance Levels:
🔹What is the Initial Balance?
The Initial Balance (IB) is defined by the high and low prices that form within a specific time window. Typically, this time window is the first hour after the regular day trading session starts (09:30 - 10:30 AM EST).
The high and low formed during this window create the foundation for the day’s price structure. From these two points, the indicator automatically calculates several key reference levels that show how far price has extended beyond the initial range or where it may still be balanced. Understanding how these levels are derived and how to interpret them is essential to using the Initial Balance effectively.
🔹How Initial Balance Levels are calculated:
Once the IB window closes, the indicator plots a full set of reference levels derived from the IB range. These levels are:
IB High
IB Low
IB Midpoint
x2 High / x2 Low
x2 Midpoints (x1.5 High/Low)
x3 High / x3 Low
x3 Midpoints (x2.5 High/Low)
🔹IB High & IB Low
The IB High is the highest price reached during the IB session window, and the IB Low is the lowest price reached.
🔹IB Midpoint
The IB Midpoint is the average of the IB High and IB Low.
🔹x2 High & x2 Low
The x2 levels are calculated by projecting one full IB Range above and below the Initial Balance. The IB Range is the distance between the IB High and IB Low.
🔹x2 High Midpoint & x2 Low Midpoint
The x2 High Midpoint (x1.5 High) is the average of the IB High and x2 High. The x2 Low Midpoint (x1.5 Low) is the average of the IB Low and x2 Low.
🔹x3 High & x3 Low
The x3 High/Low levels are calculated by projecting two full IB Range above and below the Initial Balance.
🔹x3 High Midpoint & x3 Low Midpoint
The x3 High Midpoint (x2.5 High) is the average of the x2 High and x3 High. The x3 Low Midpoint (x2.5 Low) is the average of the x2 Low and x3 Low.
🔹Breaks & Retests:
For every Initial Balance level, the indicator automatically tracks when price retests or breaks through them.
A Break occurs when a candle closes above or below an IB level. When this happens, the indicator plots a small blue triangle.
A Retest occurs when price approaches and touches an IB Level, and then reverses in the opposite direction. When this happens, the indicator plots a small green or red triangle.
Green Triangle: Bullish Retest - Price comes down to a level, touches it, and continues up.
Red Triangle: Bearish Retest - Price comes up to a level, touches it, and continues down.
Both breaks and retests are plotted directly on the chart for every toggled IB level. Once detected, they remain fixed and are not repainted.
Other Settings:
🔹Shade IB Range
When enabled, this setting fills the area between the IB High and IB Low (IB Range). The fill helps visually separate the Initial Balance range from the rest of the session, making it easier to identify when price is trading inside or outside of the IB. The color and opacity can also be adjusted through the settings.
🔹Apply One Color
When this setting is enabled, all toggled IB levels use the same color instead of the user’s inputted colors.
🔹Levels Labels
When enabled, text labels that identify each IB level (for example, “IB High,” “x2 High,” or “x2.5 Low”) appear next to each level.
🔹Price Labels
When enabled, the indicator displays the real-time price value of each IB level directly on the chart. These labels update automatically as price changes or when the levels shift due to recalculation from a new session.
🔹Extend Levels Right
When enabled, all toggled IB Levels will be extended infinitely to the right of the chart.
🔹Align Text Right
This setting aligns all level and price labels to the right edge of the plotted line. When disabled, text labels will be aligned to the left edge of each level.
Multi-Timeframe VWAPs:
🔹Why does this indicator include VWAPs?
This indicator includes VWAPs because they show where the most trading activity has occurred within each timeframe, helping identify the market’s fair value area. According to Auction Market Theory, price moves between periods of balance and imbalance as buyers and sellers seek fair value. VWAPs represent those balance points where the majority of trading has taken place. By plotting the Intraday, Weekly, and Monthly VWAPs, the indicator shows how value shifts across different timeframes and whether the market is balanced or moving toward a new area of value.
🔹Intraday VWAP
The Intraday VWAP measures the average traded price for the current trading session and resets each day at market open. It shows where most of the session’s trading has taken place, acting as a real-time fair value line. When price trades near the Intraday VWAP, the market is considered balanced. When price moves far above or below it, the market is exploring new value areas.
🔹Candle Coloring:
The Intraday VWAP candle coloring highlights how far price is trading from the session’s average value using the first and second standard deviation bands as visual reference zones. This feature helps users see whether price is balanced around fair value or expanding into an overextended area.
When candle coloring is enabled, each candle’s color changes based on where it closes relative to the two standard deviation bands surrounding the Intraday VWAP. The first band represents one standard deviation (1.0 STD) and the second represents one and a half standard deviations (1.5 STD).
If a candle closes above the upper 1.5 standard deviation band, it is colored a brighter green, showing strong movement above fair value. Candles closing between the upper 1.0 and 1.5 standard deviation bands are a lighter green, showing moderate strength. If a candle closes below the lower 1.5 standard deviation band, it is colored a brighter red, showing strong movement below fair value. Candles closing between the lower 1.0 and 1.5 standard deviation bands are a lighter red, showing moderate weakness. Candles that close within the ±1.0 standard deviation range remain their normal color, showing that price is balanced near the session’s average.
Both the VWAP line and its bands can be customized in the Intraday VWAP settings. Users can adjust the VWAP line color, band colors, and fill transparency. The candle colors can also be modified. The band sizes (1.0 STD and 1.5 STD by default) can be changed through their input multipliers, allowing users to control the sensitivity of the zones.
Please Note: This candle coloring applies only to the Intraday VWAP
🔹Weekly VWAP
The Weekly VWAP measures the average traded price across the current trading week and resets at the start of each new week. It reflects the fair value area that has developed over multiple trading days, providing a broader view of market balance compared to the Intraday VWAP. When price stays close to the Weekly VWAP, it indicates that the week’s trading activity is balanced. When price consistently trades above or below it, the market is moving away from that balance and forming value in a new area.
Standard Deviation Bands:
The Weekly VWAP includes optional standard deviation bands. Users can toggle 1x and 1.5x STD bands. Users can also adjust the multipliers.
Customization:
All colors for the Weekly VWAP and its standard deviation bands can be changed in the indicator’s settings. Users can adjust the VWAP line color, band colors, and fill transparency.
🔹Monthly VWAP
The Monthly VWAP measures the average traded price for the current month and resets on the first trading day of each new month. It provides the broadest view of value within this indicator, showing where the majority of trading has occurred during the current month. When price remains near the Monthly VWAP, it reflects long-term balance.
Standard Deviation Bands:
The Monthly VWAP includes optional 1x and 1.5x standard deviation bands that can be enabled or disabled. In the settings, users can adjust the standard deviation multipliers.
Customization:
The Monthly VWAP line, band colors, and fill transparency can all be modified in the indicator’s settings.
🔹VWAP Dashboard
The VWAP Dashboard provides a quick real-time overview of how price is positioned relative to the Intraday, Weekly, and Monthly VWAPs. It is displayed directly on the chart and updates automatically with each new candle.
The dashboard is divided into five labeled sections:
Intraday
Weekly
Monthly
Weekly STD
Monthly STD
Intraday, Weekly, and Monthly Sections:
These three sections show whether price is currently trading Above or Below each VWAP.
If price is above a VWAP, that section displays “Bullish”
If price is below a VWAP, that section displays “Bearish”
Weekly STD and Monthly STD:
These sections display whether price is currently inside or outside the standard deviation bands of the Weekly and Monthly VWAPs.
When price is trading within the ±1.0 standard deviation zone, the dashboard output is “Balanced Market”
When price is above the upper standard deviation, price is extending up beyond the week’s or month’s fair value, and the dashboard output is “Bullish Price Discovery”
When price is below the lower standard deviation, price is extending down beyond the week’s or month’s fair value, and the dashboard output is “Bearish Price Discovery”
🔹What is a Balanced Market
A balanced market occurs when price is trading within the ±1.0 standard deviation range of a VWAP. This shows that buyers and sellers are in general agreement on value, and trading activity is taking place around the fair value area. In this state, price tends to rotate around the VWAP rather than trend strongly away from it. Balance reflects stability in the auction process, where neither side is dominant and value is being built at current prices.
🔹What is Bullish Price Discovery
Bullish Price Discovery occurs when price trades above the upper standard deviation of a VWAP. This indicates that buyers are accepting higher prices and that value may be shifting upward. In terms of Auction Market Theory, the market is moving away from balance as it searches for a new fair value area above the prior range.
🔹What is Bearish Price Discovery
Bearish Price Discovery occurs when price trades below the lower standard deviation of a VWAP. This shows that sellers are accepting lower prices and that value may be developing beneath the prior area of balance. The market is moving out of equilibrium as participants test lower prices to find new fair value.
Session Volume Profile:
🔹Why this feature is included:
The Session Volume Profile is included to show where trading activity occurred within each session. It visually represents the volume traded at each price, helping to identify where market participants considered value to be. This ties directly to Auction Market Theory, which views markets as auctions seeking balance between buyers and sellers. The profile highlights those balance areas and shows where volume thins out, helping distinguish between value areas and areas of rejection.
🔹How is the Session Volume Profile calculated and displayed:
At the start of each selected session window, the indicator creates a new volume profile and tracks every bar in that session. For each candle, it saves the high, low, open, close, volume, and time. When the HD (High Definition) setting is enabled, and your chart is between the 1-minute and 30-minute timeframes (recommended), the indicator requests lower-timeframe data and feeds the profile with 1-minute candlesticks for more detail. The running session high and low define the vertical bounds of the volume profile. That span is split into a fixed number of rows. Each row represents a price slice. For every bar and every price row, the indicator checks whether the bar’s high-low range touches that row. If it does, it adds part of the bar’s volume to that row. The allocation uses a step-to-bar-size ratio, so that narrow bars do not overload a tall row and tall bars contribute proportionally across all rows they cross. If the bar closes above its open, that row’s “up” volume bucket is incremented. If it closes below its open, the “down” bucket is incremented. After all bars are processed, the row with the highest total becomes the Point of Control (POC). Starting from that row, the indicator expands upward and downward, adding adjacent rows until the cumulative total reaches your Value Area percentage. The upper boundary is Value Area High (VAH), and the lower boundary is Value Area Low (VAL).
For rendering, each price row becomes a horizontal box drawn from the session start time to a length proportional to that row’s volume versus the session’s maximum row volume. If you choose “Up / Down” volume, the row is split into two adjoining boxes that show the up and down portions. If you choose “Total,” a single box is drawn to the total length. If you choose “Delta,” the length reflects the absolute difference between up and down. The POC is drawn as a line across the row midpoint. VAH and VAL are drawn at the exact prices of the top and bottom value rows. While a session is open the profile keeps updating as new bars form. When the session ends, the script fixes its start and end and stops changing that profile. To avoid any issues with drawing limits, the indicator only renders the two most recent session volume profiles.
Settings:
🔹Enabled
Turns the Session Volume Profile on or off. When disabled, no session profiles, lines, or volume boxes are displayed.
🔹HD
Stands for High Definition. When enabled, the indicator requests data from the 1-minute timeframe to build a smoother, more detailed volume profile. This produces finer row distribution and more accurate POC, VAH, and VAL positioning, especially on higher chart timeframes.
🔹POC Line
Toggles the visibility of the Point of Control line. The POC represents the price level with the highest traded volume in the session. It’s drawn horizontally across the chart at that price, and its color can be customized in settings.
🔹VAH
Controls the display of the Value Area High line. The VAH is the top boundary of the range that contains the specified percentage of total traded volume (default 70%). It marks where volume starts to thin out above fair value. Users can turn it on or off and customize its color.
🔹VAL
Controls the display of the Value Area Low line. The VAL is the lower boundary of the value area and marks where volume thins out below fair value. Its visibility and color can also be customized.
🔹Session
This setting allows users to define the start and end time of the trading session used to calculate the session volume profile. Only bars within this time window are included in the volume profile. When a session ends, the volume profile locks, and a new one begins automatically when the next session begins based on the user’s input.
🔹Volume
Controls how the histogram rows are displayed:
Up/Down: Splits each price row into two parts: one for bullish candles (Up volume) and one for bearish candles (Down volume). This helps visualize buying versus selling pressure at each price.
Total: Combines both Up and Down volume into a single-colored bar for each price level. Since direction isn’t separated, this view focuses purely on where trading activity was concentrated, regardless of which side was in control. A tall bar means strong participation and interest at that price.
Delta: Displays the difference between up and down volume (Up/Down) for each row, highlighting which side controlled that price area.
🔹Value Area Volume
The Value Area Volume setting defines how much of the total session volume is considered the “value area.” By default, it’s 70%, meaning the indicator finds the price range where 70% of all trading took place during that session. This area is where buyers and sellers agreed the most on price, also known as the fair value zone.
If you increase the percentage (for example, to 80%), the value area becomes wider and includes more of the session’s trading range. Lowering it (for example, to 60%) makes it narrower, focusing only on the prices with the heaviest activity.
🔹Row Size
The Row Size controls how detailed the volume profile looks. It decides how many price levels (rows) the profile is divided into. Smaller values make the profile smoother and easier to read but less precise. Larger values add more detail and show exactly where volume clustered, but they can make the profile look denser.
The maximum value is 450 rows, and the minimum value is 5 rows. Higher values (especially above 200) can make the volume profile appear more detailed but may also cause performance issues or partial rendering on TradingView charts due to the platform’s drawing object limits. For most users, values between 50–150 give a good balance between clarity and performance.
25 Rows vs. 200 Rows:
Composite Volume Profile:
The Composite Volume Profile shows how volume is distributed across a larger selected range instead of just one session. It helps traders see where the most trading activity has taken place over multiple days. This gives a picture of long-term balance areas and important price zones that have repeatedly attracted buyers and sellers.
The Composite Profile uses the same base logic and visual settings as the Session Volume Profile, including POC Line, VAH, VAL, Volume Type, Value Area Volume, Row Size, and Colors. Any customization applied to those settings also affects the Composite Profile, ensuring a consistent appearance across both features.
🔹Session Count Setting:
This setting controls how many past sessions are merged into one composite volume profile. For example, if the Session Count is set to 5, and each session represents one trading day, the profile combines data from the last 5 trading days. A “session” refers to the time window defined in the Session Volume Profile settings.
🔹How is the Composite Volume Profile used?
In Auction Market Theory, markets move through phases of balance and imbalance as traders agree on value before moving to explore new ones. The Composite Volume Profile shows where that long-term balance has formed. Large, wide areas on the profile indicate zones where multiple sessions agreed on value. Thin areas show prices that were quickly rejected, where less time and volume were traded. Combining short-term session profiles into a composite helps identify when the market is holding near established value or entering new price discovery, confirming transitions between balance and price discovery.
Low Volume Zones:
🔹What are Low Volume Zones?
Low Volume Zones (LVZs) are price areas where trading activity was minimal compared to surrounding levels. On a volume profile, they appear as thin “valleys” between two high-volume “peaks.” These valleys show where the market moved too quickly for significant two-way trade to occur. In Auction Market Theory, they represent inefficient areas, meaning the market didn’t find fair value, so price either skipped through or rejected those levels.
🔹How are Low Volume Zones found?
The indicator identifies Low Volume Zones (LVZs) directly from Session Volume Profiles (SVPs) by analyzing the shape of its volume distribution. Each SVP is built from a series of horizontal rows, where each row represents the total traded volume within a narrow price range. The longer the row, the higher the trading activity at that price.
The indicator first locates the two largest high-volume peaks on the profile. These peaks represent the strongest areas of market activity. Once these two main peaks are found, the indicator looks on both sides of each peak for the lowest-volume row in the surrounding area. Those small-volume dips define the boundaries of the Low Volume Zones.
Each high-volume peak can therefore generate two LVZs (one above and one below it), resulting in a maximum of four Low Volume Zones per volume profile. If two LVZs overlap or share the same price range, they are automatically merged into a single larger zone, which may reduce the total count to three or fewer.
🔹How are Low Volume Zones used?
Low Volume Zones (LVZs) mark areas where the market previously traded with little participation. In Auction Market Theory, these zones represent inefficient price areas where buyers and sellers failed to agree on value. When price returns to an LVZ, it may act as an area where price tends to react differently due to lower previous trading activity. If the market still sees that area as unfair, price will reject it and reverse quickly. If the market now accepts that price level, volume builds and price moves through it smoothly as the auction seeks new balance. Traders use LVZs to identify where price may react sharply or move quickly through thin areas. When price approaches a zone from above or below, it signals potential rejection or continuation.
🔹LVZ Breaks and Retests
The indicator automatically tracks how price interacts with every detected LVZ.
A Break occurs when price fully moves through the entire LVZ and closes past it. When this happens, the indicator plots a small blue triangle.
A Retest occurs when price touches an LVZ and reverses away, showing rejection. When price comes down to a level, taps it, and continues up, it’s considered a bullish retest, and a small green triangle is plotted. When price comes up to a level, taps it, and continues down, it’s considered a bearish retest, and a small red triangle is plotted.
🔹LVZ Settings
Enabled:
Toggles LVZ detection and visualization on or off.
Realtime:
Allows LVZs to form dynamically as the current session develops, updating live as volume builds or thins out. When disabled, zones only appear once the session closes.
Please note: When this setting is enabled, zones may update or shift while the current session is still forming. Because the Session Volume Profile is continuously recalculating with new data, both the volume distribution and detected zones can change until the session closes.
Row Pivot Length:
Controls how far above and below each price row the indicator looks when identifying the highest and lowest volume points that define each Low Volume Zone. Larger values make the indicator compare a wider range of rows, while smaller values keep the analysis closer to each row’s immediate area.
Last SVPs:
Defines how many recent Session Volume Profiles are used for LVZs. For example, setting it to 3 limits LVZ detection to the last three sessions only.
Retests and Breaks:
Enables or disables the display of the retest and break markers described above.
Checklist:
The Checklist is a manual on-chart dashboard that allows traders to keep track of specific market conditions before entering a trade. Each checklist item can be toggled on or off in the indicator’s settings. When enabled, a checkmark emoji appears next to that item on the dashboard. When disabled, an X emoji appears next to that item.
This feature is designed to help traders visually confirm important steps in their process, such as reviewing trend direction, VWAP alignment, or session context. The checklist can also be repositioned anywhere on the chart using the “Location” setting for better visibility and layout preference.
Watermark:
The Watermark feature displays key chart information directly in the background, including the current ticker symbol, selected timeframe, and date. The watermark’s size, color, and transparency can be adjusted in the settings.
UNIQUENESS:
The VWAP Wave System Toolkit is unique because it brings every part of Auction Market Theory to the chart. It shows how value builds and shifts by combining Initial Balance levels, multi-timeframe VWAPs, and volume profiles. The indicator automatically marks low-volume zones where the market moved too quickly, highlights breaks and retests, and tracks how price interacts with fair value across sessions, weeks, and months. Every feature works together to give a simple view of balance, imbalance, and value development as the auction unfolds.

Breakout ScannerThis is a Breakout Scanner that shows you the immediate trend across 4 higher timeframes for up to 10 different tickers. It calculates a score from 1 to 3 for bullish and -1 to -3 for bearish based on where price is currently at compared to the previous higher timeframe’s candle levels.
When price is breaking out of the previous higher timeframe candle’s range, then it will have a score of 3 for bullish breakout or -3 for bearish breakout. When price is above the high or below the low of multiple different higher timeframe candles, you can expect price to continue the breakout and move to a new area of price range.
The brighter red or green the color is, the stronger the trend is on that timeframe. When it shows a bright green or red box on the far right side of a ticker, it is notifying you that the ticker is bullish or bearish on all timeframes and trending strongly, so switch over to that chart and look to trade in the direction of that trend.
The tickers, colors and time frames can be customized to suit your preference and you can also turn off as many tickers or time frames as you’d like if you want less tickers or time frames to show up on the indicator. It also includes alerts for when all timeframes are bullish or all timeframes are bearish for one ticker.
Make sure to keep each timeframe set to a timeframe that is higher than your chart timeframe.
Bullish Scoring & Colors
If the current candle close is above the midline of the higher time frame candle, it is given a score of 1 and a dark green background. If the current candle close is above the higher timeframe candle body, then it is given a score of 2 and a medium green background. If the current candle close is above the high of the higher time frame candle, it is given a score of 3 and a bright green background.
The higher the score the stronger the bullish trend and the brighter green the color will be.
Bearish Scoring & Colors
If the current candle close is below the midline of the higher timeframe candle, it is given a score of -1 and a dark red background. If the current candle close is below the higher timeframe candle body, then it is given a score of -2 and a medium red background. If the current candle close is below the low of the higher timeframe candle, it is given a score of -3 and a bright red background.
The lower the score, the stronger the bearish trend and the brighter red the color will be.
Total Score Display
On the right side of the indicator table, there is a column that displays the total score by adding all the scores together so you can easily tell the overall strength of the trend across all timeframes. Wait for the trend score to be at least 75% of the possible score to trade so you can ensure you are only trading very strong trends and increase your probability of winning your trade. The total score will update according to how many time frames you have enabled in the settings. You can also turn on or off the total score count if you prefer. The default setting is off.
All Timeframe Trends Agree
When all of the timeframes that you have turned on are in the same direction at the same time, a green or red box will appear on the far right side of the scanner. This is a visual cue that lets you know the strongest trending markets without having to read any of the numbers. Make sure to check out the charts for the markets that have a green or red box on the far right side and look for potential trend trading opportunities.
Alerts
You can set alerts for when all time frames for a certain ticker are bullish or bearish. If you have some time frames turned off at the time of creating your alerts, then it will only require all time frames that are on to be all bullish or bearish to generate an alert. Make sure to set your alerts to once per bar close to ensure you don’t get premature alerts that aren’t yet valid.
Best Way To Use The Scanner
For best results, make sure you wait for the trend to show all bullish or all bearish at the same time and then look to trade in the direction of the strong trend. If you can be patient enough to do that, you will increase the probability of winning your trade because you are trading with the direction of the overall higher timeframe trend when the market is trending strongly and making new highs or lows.
When one of the markets in the scanner shows all timeframes trending, go to that chart and see how price action is reacting to the previous higher timeframe candle levels. You can see those levels easily by adding our Higher Timeframe Candle Levels indicator to your chart and using the same timeframes as your Breakout Scanner is using.
If price is holding the higher timeframe candle levels well, then look to place trades in the direction of the trend that the Breakout Scanner is showing.
Other Indicators To Pair This With
Use this in combination with our Higher Timeframe Candle Levels indicator so you can see all of these levels being used to calculate the trend strength scores and watch how price reacts to those levels. You should also use our Trend Strength Indicator to easily read the historical trends of price compared to the higher timeframes and use those trends to guide you on when to trade and which direction to trade.
Trend Strength Indicator, Higher Timeframe Candle Levels and the Breakout Scanner all use the same levels to calculate the trend scores so they are designed to work all together to help you quickly be able to read a chart and find what direction to trade in.
Trend Strength IndicatorThis is a Trend Strength Indicator that shows you the immediate trend and historical trend of price for up to 7 higher timeframes.
It shows the strength of each timeframe by showing a red or green dot based on where price is at compared to the previous higher timeframe candle. The brighter red or green the dot is, the stronger the trend is compared to that higher timeframe candle.
The colors and timeframes can be customized to suit your preference and you can also turn off as many timeframes as you’d like if you want less time frames to show up on the indicator.
It also includes alerts for when all timeframes are bullish or all timeframes are bearish.
Keep these timeframes set to higher time frames than your chart so you can trade in the direction of the overall higher timeframe trend.
Bullish Scoring & Colors
If the current candle close is above the midline of the higher time frame candle, it is given a score of 1 and a dark green dot. If the current candle close is above the higher timeframe candle body, then it is given a score of 2 and a medium green dot. If the current candle close is above the high of the higher time frame candle, it is given a score of 3 and a bright green dot.
The higher the score the stronger the bullish trend and the brighter green the dot will be.
Bearish Scoring & Colors
If the current candle close is below the midline of the higher timeframe candle, it is given a score of -1 and a dark red dot. If the current candle close is below the higher timeframe candle body, then it is given a score of -2 and a medium red dot. If the current candle close is below the low of the higher timeframe candle, it is given a score of -3 and a bright red dot.
The lower the score, the stronger the bearish trend and the brighter red the dot will be.
Trend Scoring Modes
We gave you the option to set the trend scoring mode to either score based on price above or below the midline for quick and easy trend identification, or using the midline, candle body and highs and lows to give you a more detailed view of the trend strength. You can switch between these modes by selecting your preferred mode in the settings panel. The default is Open, High, Low, Close + Midline.
Sending Trend Direction To External Indicators
We coded in the ability to use the trend strength score as a signal that you can use to filter other indicators. This feature is great for notifying signal generating indicators what direction the market is trending in so that the signal generating indicator only gives signals in the direction of the trend.
This feature works by providing a data output of 1, 0 or -1. 1 means the trend is bullish, 0 means the trend is neutral and -1 means the trend is bearish.
This score is calculated by using the score of each timeframe that is turned on and checking if all timeframes are in the same direction or not. So if 3 timeframes are turned on and they are all bullish, the indicator will provide a data output of 1. This tells your external indicators that the trend is bullish.
This data output can be found in the data window and is labeled Trend Direction To Send To External Indicators.
At the bottom of the settings panel, there is a setting called Trend Score Threshold For External Indicators. This setting is the score threshold that all timeframes will need to meet to allow a trend strength signal to go through. So if set to 1, then all timeframes must be scored 1 or higher for bullish or -1 or lower for bearish. If set to 2, then all timeframes must be 2 or higher for bullish or -2 or lower for bearish. If set to 3, then all timeframes must be 3 for bullish or -3 for bearish. If all timeframes have met this threshold, then a bullish or bearish signal can be sent to your external indicator as a trend filter.
Labels
There are labels to the right of each row of dots, telling you which timeframe is which so you can easily identify what timeframe each row is showing the trend for.
Alerts
You can set alerts for when all timeframes are bullish or when all timeframes are bearish. If you have some time frames turned off at the time of creating your alerts, then it will only require all timeframes that are on to be all bullish or bearish to generate an alert. Make sure to set your alerts to once per bar close to ensure you don’t get premature alerts that aren’t yet valid.
Backtesting
This indicator helps you quickly identify and backtest the trend direction, how strong that trend is on multiple timeframes and helps you spot reversals and trend continuations. Make sure you look back at a lot of historical data to see how price moves when trend changes take place and how well price continues in each direction compared to the overall trend. This will help you gain confidence in reading the indicator and using it to your advantage when trading.
Best Way To Use The Indicator
This indicator is designed to help you quickly identify the trend on various different timeframes. The brighter the green dots are, the stronger the bullish trend is. The brighter the red dots are, the stronger the bearish trend is.
Trade in the direction of the trend. If the colors are mixed green and red, then price is likely to chop back and forth, so only trade the extremes of the ranges when that happens.
When most of the lower timeframe dots are the same color, that means it is a strong trend and you should place trades in the direction of the trend to be safe. The lower timeframes will start trending before the higher timeframes, so take notice of the lower timeframe colors starting to agree with each other and then take advantage of the trend that is forming.
You can also spot reversals with this indicator by watching for the lower timeframes to start changing color after a strong trend in one direction. The lower timeframes will start to change color one by one, indicating that the trend is actually changing direction.
For best results, make sure you wait for the trend to show all bullish or all bearish at the same time before you place any trades. If you can be patient enough to do that, you will increase the probability of winning your trade because you are trading with the direction of the overall higher timeframe trend which is typically an easy way to win more trades. Of course wait for pullbacks during the trend so you can keep a tight stop loss after entering your trade.
If you are scalping, you can turn off the higher timeframes and just use the 1 hour through 1 day. This won’t be as reliable as using all timeframes and waiting for them to align, but it is suitable for scalping quick intraday movements.
Other Indicators To Pair This With
Use this in combination with our Higher Timeframe Candle Levels indicator so you can see all of these levels being used to calculate the trend strength scores and watch how price reacts to those levels. You should also use our Breakout Scanner to find other markets with strong trends so you always know which market is trending the strongest and can trade those. Trend Strength Indicator, Higher Timeframe Candle Levels and the Breakout Scanner all use the same levels and calculate the trend scores the same way so they are designed to work all together to help you quickly be able to read a chart and find what direction to trade in.
Higher Timeframe Candle LevelsThis is an indicator that shows higher time frame candle levels from various preset timeframes. These higher time frame candles act as support and resistance levels, so look for reversals and continuations off of these levels. When price exceeds the high or low of these levels, you should look for breakouts in the same direction and trade with the trend.
It includes candle levels for the following timeframes: 1 hour, 4 hour, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 1 quarter and 1 year. The indicator also includes a trend candle coloring feature, trend strength scoring table, stop loss feature, line identification labels, alerts for trend changes, alerts for level touches and full customization of all options.
How To Trade With This Indicator
These higher timeframe candle levels will act as support and resistance levels, so look for price to react at any of the levels you have turned on and then look for potential bounce or reversal signs at those levels so you can trade those direction changes. Price outside of the higher timeframe candle highs and low typically signals a breakout as well, so look for price to continue after passing the highs or lows.
You can use the direction of the higher timeframe candles as your trend as well. Try to only trade in the direction of the trend of the higher timeframes to increase the likelihood of your trade going in your favor.
The highs and lows of daily and up levels are excellent levels to find quick reversal off of. Watch for price action to struggle to break through these levels and then trade the reversal. If price breaks through these levels easily, watch for price to retest the level and then continue beyond that level. Trade the retest in the direction of the trend.
The open, close and midline levels are excellent for trading bounces. Watch for price to form wicks beyond these levels and close on the other side and use that as a sign that price may bounce there. Use that with price action to confirm your trade and then take trades off of those level bounces.
Use the alerts for daily and up timeframe level touches across all of your favorite markets so that way you are always notified in real time when price is at a level that could provide a potential trading opportunity.
Higher Time Frame Candle Levels
The indicator shows the current candle open, previous open, previous high, previous low, previous close and previous candle body midline levels of each candle for each time frame. This helps you easily see what is going on with the higher time frame candles and read the price action from your lower time frame charts.
Each candle level will paint red if it was a down candle or green if it was an up candle, except the midlines and current candle open lines, those are a different color for easy differentiation. The line colors can be customized to your preferences in the settings and you can also toggle the candle body coloring on or off, as well as change the color of the candle body background.
Each timeframe can be adjusted to your preferences, allowing you to turn all of the levels on or off. You can also adjust how many previous candles show up on your chart so you can backtest it and see for yourself how accurate these levels are.
When adjusting the number of candles, you will get a notification if you have more than 500 lines turned on, so just turn down the number of levels for whatever timeframe you can’t see on your chart to lower that number below 500. The notification will go away once you are under 500 lines again. Each candle has 6 lines if all levels are turned on for that timeframe: open, current candle open, close, high, low and midline. The default settings keep you under 500 lines total, so just be aware of that limitation when adjusting those numbers and adjust the number of levels down on the timeframes that are not useful on the current chart bar.
You can also extend the levels right on any time frame from the daily levels and above. This is useful when price is breaking above or below all levels and you need to know if there are any other previous candle levels in the way as price moves away from the most recent higher time frame candles.
To understand the intraday trend of each higher time frame, look to see where price is at according to each higher time frame candle. If the price is above the midline of the candle, it is bullish. If the price is above the candle body it is more bullish. If the price is above the high, it is very bullish. If the price is below the midline of the candle, it is bearish. If the price is below the candle body it is more bearish. If the price is below the low, it is very bearish. Make sure you backtest this yourself and go through lots of historical data to get a feel for how price reacts to these levels and establishes the trend. Then use that trend information to your advantage and trade in the direction of the trend.
Since users are limited to a certain amount of historical bars based on which Tradingview plan you have, some longer timeframe levels won’t show up because the start of that candle is too far back in history. You will get a notification at the top of that chart if that happens. It will tell you to lower the display timeframe for that timeframe until that notification goes away, which means it was able to plot the most recent candle for that timeframe on your chart.
Trend Candle Coloring
The indicator includes a feature that paints the candles based on whether the current time frame candles are above or below the most recent midline, candle body or high & low of a higher time frame candle of your choice. This helps you see the overall trend of the higher timeframe so you can trade with the trend.
The candle coloring will have an up color, down color and neutral color which can all be customized to suit your preferences. If the current time frame candle close is above the setting you choose, it will show the up color. If the current time frame candle close is below the setting you choose, it will show the down color. If the current time frame candle close is equal to or in the middle of the setting you chose, it will show the neutral color.
So, for example if you set it to candle body, then it will show the up color if the current candle is above the top of the candle body, down color if it is below the bottom of the candle body and neutral color if it is inside the candle body. This helps you wait for price action to move beyond the inside of the previous higher time frame candle before taking a position when price is breaking out of that previous candle so you can trade the momentum of that move. The candle coloring is fully customizable, but make sure to turn off your candle coloring on other indicators and your chart settings for it to show up properly.
Trend Strength Scoring Table
The trend strength scoring table displays a table at the bottom of the screen(table position is customizable), showing a score for the trend strength of each higher time frame. If the current candle close is above the midline, its strength is 1. If the current candle close is above the midline, but below the top of the candle body, its strength is 2. If the current candle close is above the high, its strength is 3. The same goes for below the midline, bottom of the candle body and below the low, but the scores would be negative 1, 2 or 3 instead.
This trend strength table allows you to quickly identify the trend on each higher time frame so you can wait until the trend is the same across all time frames before placing a trade in the direction of the trend. It also shows a total score on the far right side that adds all of the current trend scores together to give you a total strength score. Try to only trade when that number is very high compared to how many time frames you have turned on. Each time frame can have up to a maximum score of 3 if bullish and -3 if bearish. Each time frame in the table can be turned on or off to suit your preferences.
Stop Loss Feature
There is also a stop loss feature that you can set to whatever time frame you choose and whatever direction you chose, such as long or short. It will follow the most recent higher time frame candle’s trend using one of the following settings: candle body, high & low or midline. Once a new higher time frame candle is created, the stop loss will update to the most recent candle’s levels so you can use these levels as a trailing stop loss to maximize your wins.
If you have it set to use the candle body and it is set to long mode, then the stop loss will use the previous higher time frame candle’s lowest candle body level. So if it was an up candle previously, it will use the open. If it was a down candle previously, it will use the close. The opposite is true for short positions.
The stop loss will start working once you turn it on in the settings and will update automatically as new higher time frame candles are formed. It also shows a line of where the stop loss was previously since it was turned on.
I recommend using the high & low setting, especially when the market starts trending.
Candle Level Identification Labels
There are labels for each level starting with the 4 hour time frame and above so you can easily tell what level of each candle you are looking at, even if the rest of the candle is not showing within the chart pane. You can customize the label coloring for up candles and down candles and midlines as well as adjust the number of bars that the labels are offset from the current bar so they are visible on your chart without overlapping the current price action or other indicator labels. Labels for each time frame can be turned on or off as needed. The 1 hour labels were not included because it clogs up the chart, but it has labels for all time frames from the 4 hour candles and up.
Alerts
The indicator includes alerts for when the trend has changed to the opposite direction. The trend change alert is based on your settings for the Trend Candle Coloring. Whatever settings you have the trend candle coloring set to, will be used to set up your alerts. The Trend Candle Coloring setting must be turned on as well when creating your alerts for it to work properly. Make sure to backtest your settings and then create your alerts.
It also has alerts for when price is touching an open or close, high or low, midline or any of those levels for each timeframe. This allows you to be notified when price touches one of these levels so you can check the chart and look for potential trade opportunities if price wants to bounce off of that level. To make it easy for you to get alerts on many different tickers, just use the alert for any level touch on whatever timeframes you want.
Other Indicators To Pair This With
Use this in combination with our Trend Strength Indicator so you can visually see the historic and current trend for all of these levels. You should also use our Breakout Scanner to find other markets with strong trends so you always know which market is trending the strongest and can trade those. Trend Strength Indicator, Higher Timeframe Candle Levels and the Breakout Scanner all use the same levels and calculate the trend scores the same way so they are designed to work together to help you quickly be able to read a chart and find what direction to trade in.

Trend Pulse Algo (LTM)Trend Pulse Algo LTM Indicator Description
Overview
Trend Pulse Algo LTM is an advanced multi layer technical indicator designed for TradingView that combines moving average MA crossovers confirmation signals pivot based structure analysis imbalance zone detection and overextension warnings to identify potential trend shifts continuations and reversal points. It aims to provide traders with reliable entry and exit signals in trending markets while highlighting areas of market inefficiency imbalances and overextended price moves that could signal exhaustion.
This indicator operates on a pulse concept where it detects rhythmic shifts in market momentum through layered MAs a quick MA for short term sensitivity a mid MA for intermediate confirmation and a long MA as a baseline trend filter. Signals are generated based on alignments and crosses between these MAs but with added layers of confirmation to reduce false positives such as requiring consecutive bars above below the long MA and breaks of prior pivot highs lows. It incorporates higher timeframe HTF analysis for imbalance zones to capture broader market context making it suitable for swing trading trend following or scalping on lower timeframes when combined with the overextension detector.
Unlike simple MA crossover systems for example standard dual EMA strategies this algo uses adaptive MA types based on timeframe pivot deviation for structural breaks and a tally based confirmation to filter noise. Imbalance zones identify fair value gaps or inefficiencies between candle bodies and wicks where price may retrace to fill. Overextension is calculated relative to the mid MA using a rolling mean absolute deviation MAD ratio highlighting potential tops bottoms in strong trends. The result is a visually clean or detailed based on mode overlay that colors bars backgrounds plots labels for signals and pivots and draws zones to guide decision making.
How It Works
MA Layers and Signal Generation
Three MAs quick mid long are computed using either SMA or EMA selected dynamically based on the charts timeframe for optimal responsiveness for example EMA on lower TFs for faster signals.
Early Signals A crossover of the quick MA above the mid MA while above the long MA triggers a Possible Bull label indicating early momentum shifts. A crossunder below triggers Possible Bear.
Confirmed Signals Bullish confirmation requires a set number of bars closing above the long MA plus alignment quick greater than mid and a break above the prior pivot high. Bearish requires bars below the long MA and a break below the prior pivot low. This uses a counter mechanism to ensure persistence reducing whipsaws. Breaks are detected via crossovers under of close versus prior highs lows.
State persistence tracks the current regime bull bear warn early coloring the chart accordingly until a new signal overrides it.
Pivot Detection and Structure
Pivots are identified by scanning for highs lows separated by a minimum bar depth with a percentage deviation threshold to confirm validity. This follows a zigzag like approach but with deviation filtering for robustness.
Labels like HH Higher High HL Higher Low LH Lower High LL Lower Low highlight market structure helping identify trends for example HH HL for uptrends or breakdowns. These are used internally to validate signal breaks.
Imbalance Zones
Zones detect imbalances or gaps between candle bodies and prior highs lows where unfilled inefficiencies attract price.
For bullish zones If open greater than close and high minus low two less than zero a zone is drawn from calculated top bottom limits. Bearish similarly for close greater than open.
Supports current TF HTF or both. Zones extend rightward until filled price touches the opposite side or mid line if enabled then either delete or shorten based on settings. Mid lines can act as fill triggers for partial closures.
HTF data is fetched via security for broader context resetting on new HTF bars.
Overextension Indicator
Measures price deviation from the mid MA relative to a rolling average RMA of relative deviations over a length.
Multipliers define tiers mild for example two times avg deviation moderate three times extreme four times. Circles plot above below bars in bull bear states when thresholds are exceeded signaling potential reversals for example red for extreme tops in uptrends. This is akin to a Bollinger Band squeeze expansion but normalized to MA distance for trend specific warnings.
Chart Coloring and Visuals
Background or candle coloring reflects the state green for bull red for bear orange for warn blue for early.
Modes control clutter Clean hides MAs zones pivots Balanced shows essentials Detailed includes all.
How to Use It
Setup Add to your chart via TradingViews indicator search. Adjust inputs based on asset timeframe for example shorter MA periods for volatile cryptos longer for stocks.
Trading Strategy Ideas
Trend Following Enter long on Confirmed Bull labels exit on Confirmed Bear or extreme overextension circles. Use imbalance zones as support resistance for stops targets for example buy dips to unfilled bullish zones.
Reversal Scalping Watch for Possible Bull Bear near pivot labels for example HL LL and overextension in the opposite direction. Confirm with zone fills.
Multi TF Analysis Set HTF to D for daily context on hourly charts zones from HTF often act as magnets.
Risk Management Place stops below prior lows in bulls or above highs in bears. Target zone edges or MA crosses. Avoid trading against strong states without confirmation.
Alerts Set up via TradingView for Early Up Down or Up Down Confirm to notify on signal edges.
Limitations Best in trending markets may lag in ranges. Test on historical data no indicator is foolproof combine with volume price action.
Detailed Input Settings
Below is a comprehensive breakdown of all user adjustable inputs from the settings panel grouped as in the script. Each explains what it controls its effect on the indicators logic and usage tips. Defaults are provided for reference.
Chart Mode
Chart Mode default Detailed Mode options Clean Mode Balanced Mode Detailed Mode
Controls visual detail level. Clean Mode hides MAs imbalance zones and pivots for a minimal overlay focused on signals and coloring. Balanced Mode shows MAs and signals but omits zones pivots. Detailed Mode displays everything for in depth analysis. Use Clean for live trading to reduce clutter Detailed for backtesting structure review.
Display Settings
Color Style default Candles options Background Candles
Determines how states bull bear warn early are visualized. Background colors the chart area for example green shading for bull. Candles colors bar bodies wicks directly. Background is subtler for multi indicator setups Candles emphasizes signals on naked charts.
Imbalance Zone HTF Config
Higher TF Period default D
Sets the higher timeframe for imbalance detection for example D for daily four H for four hour. This fetches broader data to identify significant zones. Use a TF four to five times your current for context for example daily on one H charts avoid very high TFs like W on intraday for relevance.
TF Mode default Current TF options Current TF Current plus HTF HTF Only
Defines timeframe handling for zones. Current TF uses only your charts TF. Current plus HTF combines both for layered zones. HTF Only ignores current TF. Current plus HTF is ideal for multi TF confluence HTF Only simplifies for swing traders.
