Trading Module [BackQuant]Trading Module
A modular overlay that lets you combine three core components, a Trend Model, an Impulse Model, and an optional Stop Loss framework, then layer in a multi-symbol RSI screener plus a full price action toolkit (market structure, FVGs, order blocks, volumetric S/R). Built for discretionary execution and study, not for blind automation.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
What this script is
This indicator is designed like a “module picker”. Instead of forcing one opinionated system, it gives you selectable models that can be combined into a workflow:
1) Trend Model , answers “what side is the market biased to?”
2) Impulse Model , answers “is there currently expansion, pressure, or a momentum event worth paying attention to?”
3) Stop Loss Layer , answers “where are reasonable invalidation zones if I’m managing risk manually?”
4) RSI Screener , answers “what are my watchlist assets doing right now, on multiple timeframes, in one place?”
5) Price Action Concepts , answers “what structure levels, imbalances, institutional zones, and volume-based levels matter?”
You can run it as a lightweight overlay (trend + impulse only), or turn on the heavier price action stack when you want deeper context.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
How to use it, the intended workflow
Step 1, pick your Trend Model
The trend model is your baseline directional filter. It is meant to reduce “random trading” by keeping you aligned with the dominant structure or momentum bias.
Trend Models (examples)
Typical usage:
- If the trend model reads bullish, you focus on long setups and avoid shorting into strength.
- If the trend model reads bearish, you focus on short setups and avoid catching bottoms.
- If the trend model is neutral or mixed, you reduce size or wait for confirmation.
What you can expect from the options (without exposing internal weighting or thresholds):
- Universal Trend+ , a composite trend regime model that blends multiple families of trend evidence. It is designed to be more robust than a single indicator and reduce “one-indicator failure modes”.
- EMA Cross , a classic fast vs slow trend bias. Simple, responsive, but can whipsaw in ranges.
- DEMA ATR , a smoother trend anchor that adapts to volatility. Often cleaner in chop than basic crosses.
- Relative Strength Overlay , a strength scoring style bias built from an RSI-style internal scoring process. Useful when you want “strength state” more than “moving average state”.
Color conventions:
- Long color and short color are user-defined, so you can keep consistent visuals across your BackQuant suite.
Step 2, pick your Impulse Model
Impulse is separate from trend on purpose. Trend answers direction, impulse answers timing. A market can be trending but not currently impulsing, or impulsing in a counter-trend squeeze.
Impulse Models (examples)
How to use impulse signals:
- Treat impulse as “permission” to engage, not as a standalone trade trigger.
- Best pairing is trend aligned impulse, meaning bullish trend model plus bullish impulse, bearish plus bearish.
- Counter-trend impulses can be used as warning signals, take-profit cues, or short-lived mean reversion opportunities, depending on your style.
The impulse options in this module are built around pressure and expansion detection. They are meant to identify moments where conditions shift from “noise” to “initiative activity”.
Step 3, choose a Stop Loss framework
This script includes optional stop visualization modes. These are not meant to be blindly used as a “one true stop”, they are tools for structuring invalidation around volatility or defined percentage bands.
Stop Loss (examples)
Stop loss options:
- None , no overlay.
- Dynamic , a volatility-aware band. Useful when you want stops to widen in high vol and tighten in low vol.
- Fixed , preset percentage bands. Useful for quick structure around risk units, scaling, or rule-based journaling.
- Bar-to-Bar , a micro-structure invalidation reference that uses the prior bar as a risk anchor. Useful for very tight management and fast invalidation.
How to apply them properly:
- Stops should be placed where the trade idea is wrong, not where you “feel pain”.
- A volatility stop is usually an environment stop, while a fixed stop is usually a plan stop.
- If you use impulses for entries, your stop should account for impulse volatility, otherwise you get stopped on the exact move you’re trying to capture.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
RSI Screener module
This module is built for scanning multiple symbols and timeframes from one chart, without switching tabs.
RSI Screener (example)
What it does:
- Lets you define up to 10 symbols (defaults to major crypto pairs).
- Each slot can have its own timeframe.
- Computes an RSI value per symbol and assigns a directional state relative to a midline threshold.
- Displays a stacked overlay readout using a monospace label style for quick scanning.
How to use it:
- Set slots 1–5 as your majors, 6–10 as your rotation candidates.
- Use higher timeframes for regime, lower timeframes for timing.
- Use the midline threshold as a “trend bias” line, not an overbought or oversold line.
- Treat the screener as context, not a signal. Your chart model and price action still decide the trade.
Performance note:
- Screeners are heavy by nature because each symbol is a security() request. Keep the number of enabled slots reasonable if you are on lower-end hardware or running many scripts.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Price Action Concepts and Market Structure stack
This script includes a full price action toolkit intended to provide “where” context, levels, zones, and structural breaks, so the trend and impulse models are not operating in a vacuum.
Price Action Concepts / Market Structure (example)
This section is split into five major blocks:
1) Market Structure, Swing and Internal
You can enable swing structure and internal structure separately, with independent lookbacks.
- Swing structure tracks larger, slower pivots, better for macro trend structure.
- Internal structure tracks tighter pivots, better for entry timing and micro shifts.
It prints structure events as:
- BOS (Break of Structure), continuation-style break.
- MSB (Market Structure Break), shift-style break. Some traders call this CHoCH, here it’s presented as an MSB concept.
Usage:
- Swing BOS is good for confirming a larger regime.
- Internal structure is good for timing entries within the swing context.
- If internal flips but swing does not, treat it as a warning, not necessarily a full reversal.
2) Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Optional imbalance boxes that highlight displacement zones.
Key controls:
- Timeframe selection (or current timeframe).
- How many to keep on chart.
- How far to extend them right.
Usage:
- FVGs are best treated as “areas of interest”, not guaranteed support/resistance.
- They help you frame where price might rebalance after an impulse event.
3) Order Blocks (OB)
Optional institutional-style zones detected from structure and candle logic, with filters.
Key controls:
- Fractal type (3 or 5) changes how “strict” structure detection is.
- Break method (close vs high/low) changes confirmation strictness.
- Optional filter with FVG distance to reduce low-quality blocks.
- Extend, delete-when-filled, and label options for chart hygiene.
Usage:
- OBs are strongest when aligned with swing context and confirmed by volume or displacement.
- Filled blocks are informational, they can be removed to reduce clutter.
4) Volumetric Support and Resistance
This module creates support and resistance “zones” based on high-volume pivot events, then manages them over time.
Key controls:
- Detection sensitivity, volume multiplier, and lookback period.
- Minimum distance between zones to avoid stacking duplicates.
- Remove broken, extend, and volume display toggles.
How to interpret:
- Levels are thicker zones, not single price lines.
- “Touches” are tracked as an interaction count, useful for identifying repeatedly defended or attacked zones.
- High-volume zones are visually emphasized, these tend to matter more than low volume pivots.
Usage:
- Pair volumetric levels with impulse signals, an impulse into a high-volume resistance zone is not the same as an impulse in open space.
- Use volumetric levels as structure anchors for invalidation and targets.
5) Alerts
The price action stack includes alerts for new levels, touches, breaks, and order block creation or interaction.
Use alerts for:
- Watchlist management, you get notified when price hits an area.
- Avoiding screen-watching, especially when you run multi-timeframe setups.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Core philosophy of the module
This indicator is not “one model to rule them all”. It is meant to let you build a trading process:
- Trend decides bias.
- Impulse decides engagement timing.
- Price action decides location and structure.
- Stops decide risk containment.
- Screener decides where to look.
If you only use one layer, you are throwing away most of the edge this style of framework is designed to create. The strength is in confluence and filtering.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Notes and limitations
- This is a heavy script when multiple modules are enabled, because it draws objects and can request multiple symbols.
- The models are designed to be modular, so not every combination will be optimal for every market or timeframe.

스크립트에서 "bear"에 대해 찾기
COT Index by thedatalayers.comThe COT Index transforms the weekly COT net positions of Commercial traders into a normalized mathematical model.
Instead of displaying raw net positioning, the COT Index processes the data through a cyclical normalization algorithm (commonly using a 26-week or alternatively a 52-week cycle).
This makes it easier to identify bullish or bearish extremes in Commercial activity.
The index is plotted as a color-coded line:
• Green Zone - Commercials are mathematically classified as bullish.
Historically, bullish Commercial positioning often aligns with upward market pressure.
• Red Zone - Commercials are mathematically classified as bearish.
This typically corresponds with increased downward pressure in the underlying market.
• Neutral Zone - Neither bull nor bear dominance; positioning is mid-range.
Since COT data is published only once per week and the COT Index is built on cyclical multi-week analysis, the indicator is intended to be used exclusively on the weekly timeframe.
Using lower timeframes will not reflect the structure of the data accurately.
The selected cycle length (typically 26 weeks, optionally 52 weeks) determines how net positions are compared and normalized, and can influence how quickly extreme zones appear.
The COT Index provides an objective way to interpret Commercial trader sentiment and to identify potential directional bias in the market.

**Why It's Dangerous:**
- Stop hunts are common
- Whipsaws everywhere
- News-driven volatility
- No technical reliability
- Even "perfect" setups fail
**When Does It End:**
- Volatility ratio drops < 1.5
- ADX starts rising (direction appears)
- Price respects support/resistance again
- Usually 1-5 days
---
## CONFLUENCE SYSTEM
### How It Works
The system scores each potential entry on 5 factors. More factors aligning = higher probability.
### Confluence Requirements by Regime
**Trending Regimes** (strictest):
- Minimum 2/5 required
- 3/5 = Good
- 4-5/5 = Excellent
**Ranging Regimes** (moderate):
- Minimum 1-2/5 required
- 2/5 = Good
- 3+/5 = Excellent
**Consolidation** (breakout only):
- Volume is most critical
- Direction confirmation
- Less confluence needed
### Adjusting Minimum Confluence
**If too few signals:**
- Lower from 2 to 1
- More trades, lower quality
**If too many false signals:**
- Raise from 2 to 3
- Fewer trades, higher quality
**Recommendation:**
- Start at 2
- Adjust based on win rate
- Aim for 55-65% win rate

SMT (ICT Concepts)Overview
Smart Money Technique (SMT) Divergence is a price action analysis method derived from Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. This indicator automatically detects SMT divergences by comparing price movements across correlated financial instruments, identifying moments when assets that typically move together begin to diverge - a phenomenon often associated with potential price reversals.
An SMT divergence occurs when one instrument makes a new swing high or low while a correlated instrument fails to confirm that move. This failure to confirm suggests that the instrument may be positioning for a reversal, as the divergence indicates a lack of conviction in the current price direction across related markets.
Theoretical Foundation
What is SMT Divergence?
In correlated markets, instruments tend to move in tandem. For example, the E-mini S&P 500 (ES) and E-mini Nasdaq 100 (NQ) futures typically make swing highs and lows together due to their shared exposure to U.S. equity markets. When this correlation breaks down at key swing points, it creates an SMT divergence.
Bullish SMT Divergence:
The chart instrument creates a lower low compared to a previous swing low, while the correlated comparison instrument creates a higher low (or fails to make a lower low). This divergence at the lows suggests potential buying pressure and a possible bullish reversal.
Bearish SMT Divergence:
The chart instrument creates a higher high compared to a previous swing high, while the correlated comparison instrument creates a lower high (or fails to make a higher high). This divergence at the highs suggests potential selling pressure and a possible bearish reversal.
Why SMT Divergences Matter
SMT divergences are considered significant because they may indicate:
Accumulation or distribution occurring in one instrument but not the other
Relative strength or weakness between correlated assets
Potential exhaustion of the current trend
Early warning signs before major reversals
Indicator Features
Multi-Timeframe SMT Detection
This indicator provides simultaneous SMT detection on two timeframes:
Current Timeframe (CTF) Detection:
The indicator scans for SMT divergences on the chart's active timeframe using multiple pivot lookback periods (3, 5, 8, 13, 21, and 34 bars). This multi-period approach ensures detection of both short-term and intermediate swing points, reducing the likelihood of missing valid divergences while filtering out noise.
Higher Timeframe (HTF) Detection:
Simultaneously, the indicator monitors a higher timeframe for SMT divergences using pivot periods of 3, 5, 8, 13, and 21 HTF candles. Higher timeframe signals generally carry more significance as they represent larger market structure.
Automatic Timeframe Pairing:
When enabled, the indicator automatically selects an appropriate higher timeframe based on your chart's current timeframe:
Sub-1 minute charts pair with 5-minute
1-2 minute charts pair with 15-minute
3-4 minute charts pair with 30-minute
5 minute charts pair with 1-hour
6-9 minute charts pair with 1-hour
15 minute charts pair with 4-hour
16-59 minute charts pair with Daily
1-4 hour charts pair with Weekly
Daily charts pair with Monthly
Combined Signal Detection:
When an SMT divergence is detected on both the current timeframe and higher timeframe at the same price pivots, the indicator combines these into a single enhanced signal. Combined signals display both timeframes in the label and use the higher timeframe styling to emphasize their increased significance.
Automatic Symbol Correlation
The indicator includes comprehensive automatic symbol selection based on the instrument you are viewing. When Auto SMT is enabled, the indicator intelligently selects correlated comparison symbols.

Three-Symbol Comparison
The indicator supports comparison against up to three symbols simultaneously. When multiple comparison symbols show divergence at the same pivot point, all diverging symbols are displayed in the label, providing stronger confluence. For example, if NQ shows divergence with both ES and YM at the same swing high, the label will display "ES1! + YM1!" indicating divergence confirmation from multiple correlated instruments.
Invalidation Logic
SMT divergences are not indefinitely valid. The indicator includes automatic invalidation logic based on price action following the divergence signal.
Invalidation Rules:
Bearish SMT: Invalidates when price trades above the high of the confirmation pivot (right side of the divergence)
Bullish SMT: Invalidates when price trades below the low of the confirmation pivot (right side of the divergence)
The invalidation level is set at the confirmation bar (the second pivot that completes the SMT pattern), not the extreme of both pivots. This approach aligns with the concept that once price exceeds the confirmation point, the divergence setup is no longer valid.
Invalidation Display Options:
Users can choose to show or hide invalidated SMT signals separately for current timeframe and higher timeframe divergences. When shown, invalidated signals can be displayed with different line styles and widths to visually distinguish them from active signals. Separate limits prevent excessive invalidated signals from cluttering the chart (maximum 15 invalidated signals per timeframe type).

Visual Representation
Line Display
SMT divergences are displayed as lines connecting the two pivot points that form the divergence:
For bearish SMT: A line connects the previous swing high to the current (higher) swing high
For bullish SMT: A line connects the previous swing low to the current (lower) swing low
The line color indicates the divergence type (bullish or bearish) and whether it was detected on the current timeframe or higher timeframe.
Label Display
Labels are positioned at the midpoint of the SMT line and display:
The timeframe on which the divergence was detected
The symbol(s) that showed divergence with the chart instrument
When using the "+/-" label style, labels show only "+" for bullish or "-" for bearish divergences, with full information accessible via hover tooltip.
All labels use monospace font formatting for consistent visual appearance.
Combined Signals
When the same divergence is detected on both current and higher timeframes, the signals are combined into a single display using higher timeframe styling. The label shows both timeframes (e.g., "M2 + M15") and all diverging symbols, indicating strong multi-timeframe confluence.
Practical Application Guidelines
Signal Interpretation
SMT divergences should be interpreted within the broader market context. Consider the following when evaluating signals:
Market Structure: SMT divergences occurring at key structural levels (previous highs/lows, order blocks, fair value gaps) tend to be more significant.
Timeframe Confluence: Signals appearing on multiple timeframes simultaneously suggest stronger institutional involvement.
Symbol Confluence: Divergences confirmed by multiple comparison symbols indicate broader market disagreement with the current price direction.
Time of Day: SMT divergences during high-volume trading sessions may carry more weight than those during low-liquidity periods.
Limitations and Considerations
Correlation Variability: Correlations between instruments can strengthen or weaken over time. The automatic symbol selection is based on typical correlations but may not always reflect current market conditions.
Pivot Detection Lag: Pivots are only confirmed after subsequent price action, meaning SMT signals appear with some delay after the actual swing point forms.
False Signals: Not all SMT divergences result in reversals. Use additional confirmation methods and proper risk management.
Data Requirements: The indicator requires sufficient historical data and may not function properly on instruments with limited price history.
Technical Notes
The indicator uses multiple pivot detection periods to identify swing points across different scales
Higher timeframe candle tracking is performed on the lower timeframe chart for precise pivot bar indexing
A deduplication system prevents the same divergence from being detected multiple times across different pivot periods
Array-based storage manages active and invalidated SMT signals with automatic cleanup to prevent memory issues
Maximum label and line counts are set to 500 each to accommodate extended analysis periods
Disclaimer
This indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It is designed to assist traders in identifying potential SMT divergences based on historical price data and should not be considered as financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any financial instrument.
Trading financial markets involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance of any trading methodology, including concepts discussed in this indicator, does not guarantee future results. Users should conduct their own research and analysis before making any trading decisions.
The automatic symbol correlations and sector mappings are based on general market relationships and may not accurately reflect current or future correlations. Users are encouraged to verify correlations independently and adjust comparison symbols as needed.
Always use appropriate risk management techniques, including but not limited to position sizing and stop-loss orders. Never risk more capital than you can afford to lose.
Relative Volume Bollinger Band %
The Relative Volume Bollinger Band % indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders seeking insights into volume, Bollinger band and relative strength dynamics. This indicator assesses the deviation of a security's trading volume relative to the Bollinger band % indicator and the RSI moving average. Together, these shed light on potential zones of interests where market shifts have a high probability of occurring.
Key Features:
Period: Tailor the indicator's sensitivity by adjusting the period of the smooth moving average and/or the period of the Bollinger band.
How it Works:
Moving Average Calculation: The script computes the simple moving average (SMA) of the relative strength over a defined period. When the higher SMA (orange line) is in the top grey zone, the security is in a zone where it has a high probability of becoming bullish. When the higher SMA is in the lower grey zone, the security is in a zone where it has a high probability of becoming bearish.
-Bollinger Band %: The script also computes the BB% which is primarily used to confirm overbought and oversold areas. When overbought, it turns white and remains white until the overbuying pressure is released indicating that the security is about to become bearish. The script indicates a bearish reversal when the BB% and RVOL bars are both red or when there are no more yellow RVOL bars, if present. When the BB% is<0 and rising, it will also appear white with yellow RVOL bars above. This is a good indication that bulls are beginning to enter buying positions. Confirmation here is indicated when the yellow RVOL bars change to green.
Relative Volume: The indicator then also normalizes the difference volume to indicate areas of high and low volatility. This shows where higher than normal volumes are being traded and can be used as a good indication of when to enter or exit a trade when the above criterions are met.
Visual Representation: The result is visually represented on the chart using columns. Bright green columns signify bullish relative volume values that are much greater than normal. Green columns signify bullish relative volume values that are significant. Red columns represent bearish values that are significant. Blue columns on the BB% indicator represent significant bullish buying in overbought areas. Red columns on the BB% indicator that are < 0 represent a bearish trend that is in an oversold area. This is there to prevent early entry into the market.
Enhancements:
Areas of Interest: Optionally, Areas of interest are represented by red, yellow and green circles on the higher SMA line, aiding in the identification of significant deviations.
ICT Bias (Dynamic Timeframe By Hayk Trading)This indicator designed to offer context, not signals, helping traders stay aligned with the broader directional flow of the market.
Bias States:
Bullish: Market conditions favor higher prices during the trading day.
Bearish: Market conditions favor lower prices during the trading day.
Neutral: No clear directional advantage is present.
This tool is intended to support:
Directional filtering for intraday trading
Improved trade discipline
Reduced overtrading in unfavorable conditions
The Daily Bias does not predict price, provide entries, or guarantee outcomes. It simply highlights the prevailing directional environment for the session.
Use it as a decision-support tool, not as a standalone trading system.

- Long if bullish candle at POC from below
- Short if bearish candle at POC from above
**Stop Loss:**
- Other side of POC ± buffer
---
## ⚠️ Important Notes
### When Signals Work Best
✅ **High Probability Setups:**
- Score 4-5 with clear rejection wick
- RSI confirms (oversold for long, overbought for short)
- First test of VAH/VAL in the session
- Clear trend before reversal
❌ **Low Probability Setups:**
- Score barely meeting minimum (3/5)
- Multiple tests of same level (level weakening)
- Low volume/choppy market
- News events pending
### Risk Management Rules
1. **Never risk more than 1-2% per trade**
2. **Always use stop loss** - place beyond the level
3. **Wait for candle close** - don't enter on wick touches
4. **Respect the cooldown** - avoid overtrading
5. **Consider the trend** - counter-trend reversals are riskier
---
## 🔔 Alerts
The indicator includes built-in alerts:
| Alert | Trigger |
|-------|---------|
| VAL Bullish Reversal | BULL score meets minimum at VAL |
| VAH Bearish Reversal | BEAR score meets minimum at VAH |
### Setting Up Alerts:
1. Right-click on the chart
2. Select "Add Alert"
3. Choose "able FRVP Reversal" as condition
4. Select desired alert type
5. Configure notification method
---
## 💡 Pro Tips
1. **Combine with trend analysis** - Reversals in trend direction are more reliable
2. **Watch for confluence with other S/R** - If VAH/VAL aligns with round numbers, previous highs/lows, or fib levels, the level is stronger
3. **Volume confirmation** - Higher volume on reversal candle = stronger signal
4. **Time of day matters** - Reversals during active trading hours are more reliable
5. **Adjust sensitivity by market** - Volatile assets may need higher Min Confluence Score
6. **Use multiple timeframes** - Check if reversal level aligns with higher timeframe levels

MACD Nexus Pro [OXE]MACD Nexus Pro
Institutional-Grade Momentum Intelligence System
Transform How You Read Market Momentum
Standard MACD indicators show you what happened. MACD Nexus Pro shows you what's about to happen.
Built for serious traders who demand more than basic crossovers, this indicator combines 8 proprietary analysis engines into one powerful momentum intelligence system. Whether you trade forex, crypto, stocks, or commodities — MACD Nexus Pro gives you the institutional edge.
What Makes This Different?
Most MACD indicators are stuck in the 1970s. They show you two lines, a histogram, and leave you guessing. MACD Nexus Pro was engineered from the ground up to answer the questions professional traders actually ask:
"Is this signal confirmed across multiple timeframes?"
"Is this momentum move real or a fake-out?"
"Are smart money players accumulating or distributing?"
"Is this trend exhausted or just getting started?"
Core Benefits for Traders
🎯 Eliminate False Signals with MTF Confluence
Stop getting chopped up by single-timeframe noise. The Multi-Timeframe Confluence Matrix scans 4 timeframes simultaneously and calculates a unified alignment score from -5 to +5.
How it helps you:
Only take trades when multiple timeframes agree
See instantly if higher timeframes support your entry
Avoid counter-trend trades that fail 80% of the time
Build confidence knowing the "big picture" backs your trade
📊 Know Your Market Regime Instantly
Markets behave differently in trending vs ranging conditions. The Regime Detection Engine automatically classifies current conditions as TRENDING, VOLATILE, RANGING, or NEUTRAL.
How it helps you:
Adjust your strategy to match market conditions
Avoid momentum trades in choppy, ranging markets
Capitalize on trending markets with confidence
Stop forcing trades when conditions don't favor your style
🔄 Catch Reversals Early with Smart Divergence Detection
Divergences signal potential reversals before they happen — but spotting them manually is tedious and error-prone. The Divergence Engine automatically detects both Regular and Hidden divergences, then rates their strength.
How it helps you:
Get early warning of trend exhaustion
Find high-probability reversal entries
Use Hidden divergences for trend continuation trades
Prioritize strong divergences (★★★★) over weak ones
🏦 Trade Alongside Smart Money
Institutional players leave footprints. The Smart Money Momentum Zones detect when volume-weighted momentum enters extreme territory — signaling potential accumulation (buying) or distribution (selling) by large players.
How it helps you:
Identify where institutions are likely positioning
Buy in accumulation zones with smart money
Sell or short in distribution zones
Avoid buying into institutional selling
⚡ Distinguish Impulse Moves from Corrections
Not all momentum is created equal. The Impulse Wave Detection system identifies whether current momentum is an impulse (strong, directional) or a correction (weak, counter-trend).
How it helps you:
Enter on impulses, not corrections
Hold winners through corrections without panic
Recognize when a trend is resuming
Time entries at the start of new momentum waves
📍 Never Miss True Equilibrium
Static zero lines are outdated. The Dynamic Zero Line adapts to the market's true momentum equilibrium, shifting based on long-term bias.
How it helps you:
Understand the market's real neutral point
Recognize bullish/bearish bias at a glance
Better time zero-line crossover trades
Filter signals based on positioning above/below equilibrium
⚠️ Get Warned Before Momentum Dies
Chasing extended moves is how traders lose money. The Momentum Exhaustion Detector calculates the thrust-to-follow-through ratio and warns you when momentum is overextended.
How it helps you:
Avoid late entries into tired trends
Take profits before reversals hit
Spot when bulls/bears are running out of steam
Stay patient for better entries after exhaustion
🌈 Read Momentum Strength at a Glance
The Gradient Histogram Heatmap shows momentum acceleration through color intensity — brighter colors mean momentum is building, faded colors mean it's dying.
How it helps you:
Instantly see if momentum is accelerating or fading
Confirm breakouts with strengthening momentum
Spot weakening moves before price confirms
Make faster decisions with visual clarity
The Signal System You Can Trust
Every buy/sell signal comes with a Star Rating (★ to ★★★★★) based on:
Multi-timeframe alignment
Position relative to dynamic zero
Market regime confirmation
Volume confirmation
Exhaustion status
Choose your signal mode:
Standard: Classic MACD crossovers
Confluence: Only signals with MTF agreement (recommended)
Aggressive: Early entries with directional confluence
All signals are 100% non-repainting — what you see is what happened, permanently.

What Traders Are Saying
"Finally, a MACD that tells me more than just 'line crossed line.' The exhaustion warnings alone have saved me from so many bad trades."
"The MTF confluence is a game-changer. I only trade 4+ star setups now and my win rate has never been better."
"I love how the regime detection stops me from forcing momentum trades in ranging markets. Should have had this years ago."

Structure Pivot (LL-HL / HH-LH)Structure Pivot (LL-HL / HH-LH) - Indicator Guide
This indicator scans for market structure pivot patterns—specifically the bullish Higher Low (LL–HL) and the bearish Lower High (HH–LH) —across multiple lengths simultaneously.
It automatically selects the most optimal pattern based on a "Priority Mode" and plots the structure and breakout/breakdown levels on the chart.
1. Basic Calculation Method
The indicator builds upon TradingView’s ta.pivotlow and ta.pivothigh functions to identify structural points.
Bullish Structure (LL–HL)
1.LL (Lowest Low): A standard Pivot Low is identified.
2.HL (Higher Low): A subsequent Pivot Low forms higher than the previous LL. This completes the setup.
3.Pivot Line (Resistance): The indicator finds the highest price (High) that occurred between the LL and the HL. This level becomes the breakout trigger.
Bearish Structure (HH–LH)
1.HH (Highest High): A standard Pivot High is identified.
2.LH (Lower High): A subsequent Pivot High forms lower than the previous HH. This completes the setup.
3.Pivot Line (Support): The indicator finds the lowest price (Low) that occurred between the HH and the LH. This level becomes the breakdown trigger.
2. Multi-Length Scanning
Unlike standard indicators that use a single fixed length (e.g., Length = 5), this indicator scans a range of lengths simultaneously.
・Settings: Defined by Min Length and Max Length.
・Mechanism: If set to Min=2 and Max=10, the indicator internally runs 9 separate calculations (Length 2 through 10) in parallel.
This allows it to capture everything from small, short-term pullbacks to larger, significant structural pivots without manual adjustment.
3. Priority Mode System
Since multiple lengths are scanned, multiple valid patterns may appear at the same time. The Priority Mode determines which single pattern is the "winner" and gets displayed.
A. Tightest Structure (Default)
・For Bullish (Long): Selects the pattern with the lowest Pivot Line (Resistance).
・For Bearish (Short): Selects the pattern with the highest Pivot Line (Support).
・Advantage: It finds the "tightest" contraction (like a VCP). This offers the entry point closest to the stop-loss level, providing the best Risk/Reward ratio.
B. Longest Length
・Selects the pattern detected by the longest length setting.
・Advantage: Focuses on major structural points, filtering out short-term noise. Best for trend confirmation.
C. Shortest Length
・Selects the pattern detected by the shortest length setting.
・Advantage: Extremely sensitive. Best for scalping or catching immediate micro-pullbacks.
4. Real-Time Logic & Features
Structure Invalidation (Failure)
・Bullish: If the current price drops below the HL (the support of the structure), the setup is considered failed.
・Bearish: If the current price rises above the LH (the resistance of the structure), the setup is considered failed.
・Result: All lines and labels for that structure are immediately deleted to keep the chart clean.
Pivot Line Extension
・As long as the structure remains valid (price hasn't violated the HL or LH), the Pivot Line extends to the right, acting as a live reference for breakouts or breakdowns.
Alerts
・Bullish Breakout: Triggered when the Close price crosses over the Pivot Line.
・Bearish Breakdown: Triggered when the Close price crosses under the Pivot Line.

SMC-Math by Thomas v1📌 SMC-Math by Thomas v1 — Description
SMC-Math by Thomas v1 is a complete Smart Money Concepts toolkit designed for traders who want a clean, mathematical, and structured view of market mechanics.
Rather than relying on abstract concepts or subjective drawings, this indicator focuses on rules-based detection of:
✔ Order Blocks (OB)
✔ Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
✔ Market Structure shifts (BoS / CHoCH)
✔ HTF trend confirmation
✔ Premium / Discount arrays
✔ Equal High & Equal Low Liquidity Zones (no hinting — expiry only)
This version is engineered for stability, clarity, and performance — with fully optimized array management, timestamp-based cleanup, and a clean visual presentation suitable for both discretionary and systematic trading.
📌 Key Features
🔹 1. Order Blocks (Bullish & Bearish)
Auto-detected using fractal swing highs/lows
Optional displacement + high volume filters
Midline display option
HTF trend alignment filter
Smart expiry + broken OB cleanup
Custom opacity, buffer, and extension controls
🔹 2. Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Bullish and bearish gap detection
HTF confirmation-based dimming
No border for a clean ICT-style visuals
Auto remove when filled
Fully rule-based
🔹 3. Market Structure (BoS / CHoCH)
Based on fractal highs/lows
Automatic labeling (small, unobtrusive)
Direction validated by HTF option
Each structure level plotted with a projected line
Smooth, clean BOS/CHOCH flow
🔹 4. Premium / Discount Zones
Auto-calculated from most recent swing high & swing low
Box shading dynamically updates each bar
Helps identify optimal trade areas (OB → FVG → PD array)
🔹 5. Liquidity Zones (Equal Highs & Equal Lows)
This tool highlights where liquidity is likely resting:
Detects Equal Highs and Equal Lows using your tolerance or max difference
Auto-creates borderless shaded boxes
Adjustable box height and extension
NO hinting logic — the box remains for exactly cleanupDelay bars, then expires
Clean and predictable behavior, ideal for rule-based setups
This is especially useful for:
identifying buy-side and sell-side liquidity pools
anticipating runs on liquidity
targeting sweeps
🔹 6. HTF Status Panel
Shows higher-timeframe trend status on the live bar:
Bullish
Bearish
Or “HTF Not Required”
Useful for aligning entries with larger market flow.
📌 How to Use SMC-Math by Thomas v1
1️⃣ Identifying Direction
Start by reading:
HTF Trend Label
BOS & CHOCH reactions
Bullish: look for HL → HH structure + bullish OBs + bullish FVGs
Bearish: look for LH → LL structure + bearish OBs + bearish FVGs
This creates your directional bias.
2️⃣ Using Order Blocks
An OB is valid when:
It appears in line with structure
HTF alignment supports it (optional toggle)
Price returns after a displacement
OB is not “broken” (indicator handles this visually)
Use OBs as:
Rebalance targets
Entry areas
Stop placement logic
3️⃣ Fair Value Gaps
FVGs appear when price dislocates and leaves inefficiency.
Use them to:
Refine entries inside OBs
Project premium/discount zones
Identify continuation zones
The indicator auto-removes FVGs when filled.
4️⃣ Liquidity Zones
Liquidity zones identify resting orders at equal highs/lows.
This version uses simple expiry logic:
Box is created when EQH/EQL forms
It remains visible for 20 bars (default)
It disappears automatically after expiry
No hint/confirmation triggers deletion
Usage tips:
Expect price to run toward these zones
Use them as targets or continuation markers
Combine with OB/FVG for confluence
5️⃣ Premium / Discount Zones
Use PD arrays to gauge:
Premium = optimal shorting zones
Discount = optimal long zones
Not trade “in the middle” unless a clear BOS or CHoCH happens
📌 Recommended Workflow
HTF Bias → Check the HTF panel
Market Structure → Identify trend continuation or reversal
Liquidity → Mark where price is likely to target
FVG → Identify imbalance zones
OB → Confirm institutional origin points
PD Arrays → Determine optimal trade location
Execute with confluence
📌 Who Is This Indicator For?
✔ Traders using ICT / SMC logic
✔ Traders wanting rule-based, non-subjective markups
✔ Traders who want automated detection without repainting
✔ Anyone who uses OB, FVG, liquidity sweeps, and structure shifts
TedAlpha – Structure / FVG / OB Sessions:
Only looks for trades when price is inside your defined London or NY time blocks.
CHOCH:
Uses pivots to track swing highs/lows, then flags a bullish CHOCH when structure flips from LL/LH to HH/HL, and vice versa for bearish.
FVG:
Detects 3-candle imbalance and keeps the zone “active” for fvgLookback bars, then checks if price trades back into it.
Order Blocks:
On a CHOCH, grabs the last opposite candle (bearish before bull CHOCH = bullish OB, bullish before bear CHOCH = bearish OB) and marks its body as the OB zone.
Signal:
A valid long = bull CHOCH + in session + (price inside bullish FVG and/or bullish OB, depending on toggles).
Short is the mirror image.
RR 1:3:
SL uses the last swing low (for longs) or last swing high (for shorts), TP is auto-set at 3× that distance and plotted as lines.
FANBLASTERFANBLASTER
Methodology & Rules (Live Trading Version)
Purpose
Catch the exact moment the market flips from chop into a high-conviction trending move using a clean, stacked Fib EMA ribbon + volatility + volume confirmation.
Core Idea
When the 5-8-13-21-34-55 EMA stack suddenly “fans out” in perfect order with significant separation, a real trend is being born. Most retail traders chase late – FANBLASTER alerts you on the very first bar the fan opens.
What Triggers a “FAN BLAST” Alert
Perfect EMA Alignment
Bullish: 5 > 8 > 13 > 21 > 34 > 55
Bearish: 5 < 8 < 13 < 21 < 34 < 55
(Has to flip from NOT aligned on the previous bar → aligned on this bar)
Significant Separation
Distance between EMA 5 and EMA 55 ≥ 1.3 × ATR(14)
(1.3 is the ES sweet spot – filters fake little wiggles)
Trend Strength Confirmation
ADX(14) ≥ 22
(Ensures the move isn’t just noise; ES trends explode while ADX is still climbing)
Volume Conviction
Current volume > 1.4 × 20-period EMA of volume
(Real moves have real participation)
When ALL FOUR conditions are true on the same bar → you get the green or red circle + phone alert.
How to Trade It (Live Rules)
Alert fires → look at the chart immediately
If price is pulling back to the 8 or 13 EMA in the direction of the fan → enter on touch or close above/below
Initial stop: opposite side of the fan (below the 55 for longs, above the 55 for shorts)
Target: 2–4 R minimum, trail with the 21 or 34 once in profit
No alert = stay flat. This is a “trend birth” sniper, not a scalping tool.
Best Instruments & Timeframes (2025)
ES & NQ futures
2 min, 5 min, 15 min (all work with the exact same settings)
Works on MES/MNQ too (same params)
Bottom Line
FANBLASTER sits silent 90 % of the day and only screams when the market is actually about to run 20–100+ points.
One alert = one high-probability trend. That’s it.
Lock it, load it, and let the phone do the hunting.
Good luck, stay disciplined, and stack those points.

Intermarket Swing Projection [LuxAlgo]The Intermarket Swing Projection allows traders to plot price movement swings from any user-selected asset directly onto the chart in the form of zigzags and/or horizontal support and resistance levels.
This tool rescale the external asset price on the user chart, enabling traders to make direct comparisons.
It answers the question of how different the price behavior is between two assets, accounting for each asset's volatility.
🔶 USAGE
This tool is based on swing detection of two different assets: the chart and a user-selected asset. It allows traders to compare two assets on an equal footing while accounting for volatility and price behavior.
Traders can customize the detection by selecting a custom ticker, timeframe, the number of swings and length for swing detection. This makes the tool a Swiss army knife for asset comparison.
As we can see in the image below, the Show Last, Pivot Length, and Spread parameters are key to defining the final output of the tool.
"Show Last" defines how many pivots are displayed. "Pivot Length" is used for pivot detection; a larger value will detect larger market structures. "Spread" defines how far apart the horizontal levels will be from their original location in terms of volatility.
🔹 Comparing different assets
This image shows the Nasdaq 100 futures contract compared to four other futures contracts: S&P 500, gold, bitcoin, and euro/U.S. dollar.
Plotting all of these assets in Nasdaq 100 terms makes it easy to compare and analyze price behaviors and identify key levels.
In the top left chart, we have NQ vs. ES. It's no surprise that they are practically an exact match; a large portion of the S&P 500 is technology.
In the top right chart, NQ vs. GC, we see totally different behaviors. We can clearly see the summer consolidation in gold and the resumption of the uptrend, which took gold above 29,200 NQ points, up from 21,200.
In the bottom right chart, we see bitcoin making new highs, way above the Nasdaq in May, July, and October. However, the last high was way below the Nasdaq prices on October 27—the first lower high in a while. Sellers are pushing down.
Finally, the bottom left chart is NQ vs. 6E. We can see large volatility in the uptrend since February, with NQ unable to catch up until now. The last swing low was almost a match, and 6E is in a range.
As we can see, this tool allows us to perform intermarket analysis properly by accounting for each asset's volatility and price behavior. Then, we plot them on the same scale on equal terms, which makes performing this kind of analysis easy.
As we can see in the chart above, the assets are the same as in the previous image, but the timeframe is 1H with different settings.
Note the horizontal levels acting as support and resistance, as well as how NQ prices react to the zones marked with white circles. These levels are derived from custom assets selected by the user.
🔹 Displaying Elements
Zig-zag allows traders to clearly see the path that the selected asset's price took, as well as its turning points.
Horizontal levels are displayed from those turning points to the present and can be used as support or resistance. Traders can adjust the spread parameter in the settings panel to expand or contract those levels' volatility.
There are two color modes for the levels: average and pivots. In the first mode, green is used for levels below the average and red for levels above the average. The second uses green for swing lows and red for swing highs.
The backpaint feature is enabled by default and allows the swings to be displayed in the correct location. With this feature disabled, the swings will be displayed in the current location when a new swing is detected.
🔶 DETAILS
On a more technical note, the rescaling is formed by calculating three main elements from all the swings detected on the custom and chart assets:
The chart asset's average of all swing points
The chart asset's standard deviation of all swing points
The custom asset's z-score for each swing point
Then, the re-scaled swing point is calculated as the average plus the z-score multiplied by the standard deviation. This makes it possible to plot AAPL swings on an NQ chart, for example.
Thanks to re-scaling, we can directly compare the price behavior of two assets with different price ranges and volatility on the same chart.

Apex IndicatorThe Apex Indicator is a physics-based momentum tool designed to measure the 2nd Derivative (Acceleration) of both Price and Volume.
Unlike standard oscillators which often lag, this indicator uses Kinematics to identify the subtle shifts in momentum before price makes a major move. It answers the critical questions: Is the selling pressure fading? and Is there fresh fuel (Volume) entering to support a turn?
This script uses Hull Moving Average (HMA) smoothing for low-latency calculation, and Z-Score Normalization to force Price and Volume onto a shared, readable scale.
Visual Guide
The Histogram (Price Acceleration)
Bright Green: Strong Bullish Acceleration (High Velocity).
Dark Green: Developing Bullish Momentum (or Waning Bullishness depending on context).
Bright Red: Strong Bearish Acceleration (Panic/Dump).
Dark Red: Developing Bearish Momentum (or Waning Bearishness).
The Line (Volume Acceleration)
Yellow: Volume is accelerating (Interest is entering).
Purple: Volume is decelerating (Interest is leaving).
The Background Highlights
Green/Red Background: These mark Statistical Extremes (>1 Standard Deviation). While these show maximum power, they often mark the climax of a move rather than the start.
How to Trade: Reading the Subtleties
The power of the Apex Indicator is not in chasing the spikes, but in reading the Transitions.
1. The Turn (The Reversal Entry)
Don't wait for the explosion; look for the "braking" action.
The Setup: Price has been moving down strongly (Bright Red bars).
The Signal: The histogram shifts to Dark Red and begins moving up toward the zero line (less negative). This means the selling acceleration is dying.
The Trigger: A Dark Green bar prints, accompanied by the Volume Line turning Yellow/Rising.
Why it works: You are entering when the bearish energy is exhausted and fresh volume is stepping in to lift the price, often before the main breakout occurs.
2. The Second Wind (Trend Continuation)
The Setup: You are already in a trend (Green bars), but the bars fade to Dark Green or near Zero (a pullback or pause).
The Trigger: The next bar flips Bright Green and the Volume Line spikes Yellow.
Why it works: This confirms that the pause was just a breather, and buyers are stepping back on the gas.
3. The "Hollow Move" (Trap Avoidance)
The Scenario: Price is moving up (Green bars), but the Volume Line is Purple or dropping.
Interpretation: This is a drift, not a drive. Without volume acceleration support, these moves are prone to rapid reversal.
4. The Climax (Exits)
If the Background flashes Green (Alert Trigger), be aware that price acceleration has hit a statistical extreme (Z-Score > 1).
If you are in a position, this is often a good place to Take Profit, as maintaining that level of acceleration is mathematically difficult for the market to sustain.
Settings
Analysis Length (21): The lookback period for the HMA smoothing.
Normalization Lookback (21): The historical window used to calculate the Z-Score. A setting of 21 allows the indicator to self-adjust quickly to recent volatility conditions.
Point of Control + Momentum CandlesPOINT OF CONTROL + MOMENTUM CANDLES
A comprehensive technical analysis indicator combining volume-based Point of Control detection, momentum-graded candle coloring, higher timeframe buy/sell signals, and order block identification.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES
This indicator identifies key price levels where the most trading activity has occurred (Point of Control), colors candles based on momentum strength, generates buy/sell signals from a user-selected timeframe, and detects order blocks that may act as future support/resistance zones.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
FEATURES
1. POINT OF CONTROL (POC)
The POC represents the price level with the highest traded volume over a lookback period. This indicator calculates a volume profile by distributing volume across price levels and identifying where the most activity occurred.
- Orange horizontal line shows the current POC level
- Yellow box highlights the candles used in the POC calculation
- Break detection identifies when price closes decisively beyond the POC
- Rejection detection identifies when price tests but fails to break the POC
2. MOMENTUM CANDLE COLORING
Candles are colored based on a 6-level momentum system using EMA positioning and RSI values:
Bullish Levels (price above both EMAs):
- Bull Level 3 (Royal Blue): Strong momentum, RSI above 70
- Bull Level 2 (Cyan): Medium momentum, RSI above 60
- Bull Level 1 (Green): Weak momentum, above EMAs
Bearish Levels (price below both EMAs):
- Bear Level 1 (Yellow): Weak momentum, below EMAs
- Bear Level 2 (Orange): Medium momentum, RSI below 40
- Bear Level 3 (Red): Strong momentum, RSI below 30
Neutral (White): No clear directional momentum
3. BUY/SELL SIGNALS
Signals are generated from a user-selectable timeframe (default: 10 minutes) and appear on your current chart. This allows you to see higher timeframe signals while trading on lower timeframes.
Buy Signal Conditions:
- EMA crossover (fast crosses above slow) OR RSI exits oversold
- Bullish candle on the signal timeframe
- Close above both EMAs
Sell Signal Conditions:
- EMA crossunder (fast crosses below slow) OR RSI exits overbought
- Bearish candle on the signal timeframe
- Close below both EMAs
4. ORDER BLOCKS
Order blocks identify potential institutional entry zones that may act as future support or resistance.
- Bullish Order Block (Green zone): The last bearish candle before a bullish impulse move
- Bearish Order Block (Red zone): The last bullish candle before a bearish impulse move
- Blocks automatically extend forward and can be set to delete when mitigated (price closes through the zone)
5. DASHBOARD
A customizable info panel displays:
- Current POC price
- Distance from POC (percentage)
- Position relative to POC (Above/Below/At)
- Lookback period
- Current RSI value
- Current momentum level
- Signal timeframe
- Active order block count
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW TO USE
POC Trading:
- Watch for breaks above POC for potential long entries
- Watch for breaks below POC for potential short entries
- Rejections at POC can indicate reversal opportunities
Momentum Reading:
- Use candle colors to gauge trend strength at a glance
- Level 3 colors indicate strong momentum (potential continuation)
- Level 1 colors indicate weakening momentum (potential reversal)
- Neutral/white candles suggest consolidation or indecision
Signal Confirmation:
- Use buy/sell signals from a higher timeframe to confirm entries on your trading timeframe
- Combine signals with POC breaks/rejections for higher probability setups
Order Block Strategy:
- Look for price to return to bullish order blocks for potential long entries
- Look for price to return to bearish order blocks for potential short entries
- Mitigated blocks (price closes through) lose their significance
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
NOTES
- The indicator uses request.security() to fetch data from the signal and order block timeframes. This is designed to work when viewing charts at timeframes equal to or lower than your selected signal/OB timeframes.
- POC calculations are based on the visible volume data. Assets with limited volume data may produce less reliable POC levels.
- Order blocks are detected using a simplified algorithm based on candle patterns and displacement. They represent potential zones of interest, not guaranteed support/resistance levels.

Fractal MTF MA System Overview Unlock the fractal nature of the market with a single, clean indicator. This tool allows you to visualize the exact same Moving Average length (default: 50) across 5 different timeframes simultaneously. By comparing "apples to apples" across time dimensions, you get a clear, immediate view of the overall market trend and momentum health.
No more switching charts or manually adding 5 different indicators. This script does it all with a single global setting.
Key Features
🧩 Fractal Logic: Applies one consistent calculation (e.g., 50 Period) to 15m, 30m, 1H, 2H, and 4H timeframes.
🎛️ Global Control: Change the Length or MA Type once, and it instantly updates all 5 lines. No need to adjust each line individually.
🚀 3 Calculation Modes: Switch between DEMA (Double Exponential - Default/Fast), EMA (Standard), or SMA (Smooth) to fit your trading style.
🎨 Visual Clarity: Choose between Step mode (for precise MTF levels) or Line mode (for a smoother, cleaner look).
How to Use This Indicator
1. Trend Following (The Fan) When the market is trending strongly, the lines will stack in perfect order:
Bullish: Price > 15m > 30m > 1H > 2H > 4H.
Bearish: Price < 15m < 30m < 1H < 2H < 4H.
Strategy: Ride the trend as long as the "Fan" is open and orderly.
2. Mean Reversion (The Snap-Back) When the price moves too far from the anchor line (the 4H line) and the gaps between the lines become extreme, the market is "overextended" (like a stretched rubber band).
Strategy: Watch for price to stall and cross back over the fastest line (15m) as an early sign of a correction towards the slower averages.
3. Dynamic Support & Resistance During a trend, price often pulls back to test the 1H or 2H lines before continuing. These lines act as dynamic support zones.
Settings
Global Length: Sets the lookback period for ALL lines (Default: 50).
MA Type: Select DEMA, EMA, or SMA.
Line Style: Toggle between Step (precise) or Line (smooth).
Individual Toggles: You can hide specific timeframes via the settings menu if you want a cleaner chart.

LiquidityPulse Higher Timeframe Consecutive Candle Run LevelsLiquidityPulse Higher Timeframe Consecutive Candle Run Levels
Research suggests that financial markets can alternate between trend-persistence and mean-reversion regimes, particularly at short (intraday) or very long timeframes. Extended directional moves, whether prolonged intraday rallies or sell-offs, also carry a statistically higher chance of retracing or reversing (Safari & Schmidhuber, 2025). In addition, studies examining support and resistance behaviour show that swing highs or lows formed after strong directional moves may act as structurally and psychologically important price levels, where subsequent price interactions have an increased likelihood of stalling or bouncing rather than passing through directly (Chung & Bellotti, 2021). By highlighting higher-timeframe candle runs and marking their extremal levels, this indicator aims to display areas where directional momentum previously stopped, providing contextual "watch levels" that traders may incorporate into their broader analysis.
How this information is used in the indicator:
When a sequence of consecutive higher-timeframe candles prints in the same direction, the indicator highlights the lower-timeframe chart with a green or red background, depending on whether the higher-timeframe run was bullish or bearish. The highest high (for a bull run) or lowest low (for a bear run) of that sequence forms a recent extremum, and this value is plotted as a swing-high or swing-low level. These levels appear only after the required number of consecutive higher-timeframe candles (set by the user) have closed, and they continue updating as long as the higher-timeframe streak remains intact. A level "freezes" and stops updating only when an opposite-colour higher-timeframe candle closes (e.g., a red candle ending a bull run, or a green candle ending a bear run). Once frozen, the level remains fixed to preserve that structural information for future analysis or retests. The number of past bull/bear levels displayed on the chart is also adjustable in the settings.
Why capture a level after a long directional run:
When price moves in one direction for several consecutive candles (e.g. 4, 5, or more), it reflects strong directional bias, often associated with momentum, liquidity imbalance, or liquidity grabs. Once that sequence breaks, the final level reached marks a point of exhaustion or structural resistance/support, where that bias failed to continue. These inflection points are often used by traders and trading algorithms to assess potential reversals, retests, or breakout setups. By freezing these levels once the run ends, the indicator creates a map of historically significant price zones, allowing traders to observe how price behaves around them over time.
Additional information displayed by the indicator:
Each detected run includes a label showing the run length (the number of consecutive higher-timeframe candles in the streak) along with the source timeframe used for detection. The indicator also displays an overstretch marker: this numerical value appears when the total size of the candle bodies within the run exceeds a user-defined multiple of the average higher-timeframe body size (default: 1.5x). This helps highlight runs that were unusually strong or extended relative to typical volatility. You can also enable alerts that trigger when this overstretch ratio exceeds a higher threshold.
Key Settings
Timeframe: Choose which HTF to analyse (e.g., 15m, 1h, 4h)
Minimum Candle Run Length: Define how many consecutive candles are needed to trigger a level (e.g., 4)
Overstretch Settings: Customize detection threshold and alert trigger (in multiples of average body size)
Background Tints: Enable/disable visual highlights for bull and bear runs
Display Capacity: Choose how many past bull/bear levels to show
How Traders Can Use This Indicator
Traders can:
-Watch levels for retests, reversals, breakouts, or consolidation
-Identify areas where price showed strong directional conviction
-Spot extended or aggressive moves based on overstretch detection
-Monitor how price reacts when retesting prior run levels
-Build confluence with your existing levels, zones, or indicators
Disclaimer
This tool does not reflect true order flow, liquidity, or institutional positioning. It is a visual aid that highlights specific candle behaviour patterns and does not produce predictive signals. All analysis is subject to interpretation, and past price behaviour does not imply future outcomes.

Brahmastra Basic1. Core Purpose and Strategy
This is a multi-timeframe (MTF) indicator designed to identify high-probability entry points for a specific trend-following options selling strategy. It works by confirming a trend on higher timeframes (Daily and Hourly) before waiting for a precise entry trigger on a lower timeframe (15-Minute).
The core principle is confluence: ensuring that the Daily trend bias and the Hourly trend momentum are aligned before looking for a trade. This filters out many false signals that can occur when trading on a single timeframe.
IMPORTANT: This indicator MUST be applied to a 15-minute chart to function correctly.
2. How to Read the Visual Signals on Your Chart
The indicator provides several visual cues to guide you through the trading setup from start to finish.
A. Candle Colors: The "Setup is Ready" Signal
The primary signal to start paying attention is the change in candle color.
Aqua Candles: The market is in a Bullish Alignment. This means both the Daily and Hourly trends are bullish. You should now be preparing for a Put Sell entry. The very first aqua candle in a sequence is your "alert candle."
Yellow Candles: The market is in a Bearish Alignment. This means both the Daily and Hourly trends are bearish. You should now be preparing for a Call Sell entry. The very first yellow candle in a sequence is your "alert candle."
B. Entry Signals: The "Execute Trade" Signal
These signals appear only after the alert candle's level has been breached.
Green "PUT SELL" Label (below candle): This is your signal to enter a Put Sell (or a long position). It appears on the close of the 15-minute candle that breaks above the high of the first aqua alert candle.
Red "CALL SELL" Label (above candle): This is your signal to enter a Call Sell (or a short position). It appears on the close of the 15-minute candle that breaks below the low of the first yellow alert candle.
C. Exit Signals: The "Close Position" Signal
Red 'X' (above candle): This is the signal to close your Put Sell position. It appears when the primary daily trend has reversed to bearish.
Green 'X' (below candle): This is the signal to close your Call Sell position. It appears when the primary daily trend has reversed to bullish.
D. Background & EMA Lines: The "Context"
EMA Lines: The indicator plots two key EMAs from the higher timeframes onto your 15-minute chart so you can see the context.
Orange Line: Daily 5 EMA
Blue Line: Hourly 51 EMA
Faint Background Color: After an entry signal appears, the background will remain faintly colored (green for a bullish trade, red for a bearish trade) to remind you that you are in a hypothetical position.
3. The Step-by-Step Strategy Logic
Here is the precise set of rules the indicator follows to generate its signals:
For a PUT Sell (Bullish Trade):
Alignment Check: The indicator first confirms that:
The Daily Close is above the Daily 5 EMA.
AND the Hourly Close is above the Hourly 51 EMA.
Alert Phase: As soon as this alignment is true, the 15-minute candles turn aqua. The indicator internally notes the high of the very first aqua candle.
Entry Trigger: The indicator waits for a 15-minute candle to close above the high of that first alert candle. When this happens, the green "PUT SELL" label is plotted.
Exit Condition: The position is held until the Daily Close crosses back below the Daily 5 EMA. When this happens, the red 'X' exit signal is plotted.
For a CALL Sell (Bearish Trade):
Alignment Check: The indicator first confirms that:
The Daily Close is below the Daily 5 EMA.
AND the Hourly Close is below the Hourly 51 EMA.
Alert Phase: As soon as this alignment is true, the 15-minute candles turn yellow. The indicator internally notes the low of the very first yellow candle.
Entry Trigger: The indicator waits for a 15-minute candle to close below the low of that first alert candle. When this happens, the red "CALL SELL" label is plotted.
Exit Condition: The position is held until the Daily Close crosses back above the Daily 5 EMA. When this happens, the green 'X' exit signal is plotted.
FVG Maxing - Fair Value Gaps, Equilibrium, and Candle Patterns
What this script does
This open-source indicator highlights 3-candle fair value gaps (FVGs) on the active chart timeframe, draws their midpoint ("equilibrium") line, tracks when each gap is mitigated, and optionally marks simple candle patterns (engulfing and doji) for confluence. It is intended as an educational tool to study how price interacts with imbalances.
3-candle bullish and bearish FVG zones drawn as forward-extending boxes.
Equilibrium line at 50% of each gap.
Different styling for mitigated vs unmitigated gaps.
Compact statistics panel showing how many gaps are currently active and filled.
Optional overlays for bullish/bearish engulfing patterns and doji candles.
1. FVG logic (3-candle gaps)
The script focuses on a strict 3-candle definition of a fair value gap:
Three consecutive candles with the same body direction.
The wick of candle 3 is separated from the wick of candle 1 (no overlap).
A bullish gap is created when price moves up fast enough to leave a gap between candle 1 and 3. A bearish gap is the mirror case to the downside.
In Pine, the core detection looks like this:
// Three candles with the same body direction
bull_seq = close > open and close > open and close > open
bear_seq = close < open and close < open and close < open
// Wick gap between candle 1 and candle 3
bull_gap = bull_seq and low > high
bear_gap = bear_seq and high < low
// Final FVG flags
is_bull_fvg = bull_gap
is_bear_fvg = bear_gap
For each detected FVG:
Bullish FVG range: from high up to low (gap below current price).
Bearish FVG range: from low down to high (gap above current price).
Each zone is stored in a custom FVGData structure so it can be updated when price later trades back inside it.
2. Equilibrium line (0.5 of the gap)
Every FVG box gets an optional equilibrium line plotted at the midpoint between its top and bottom:
eq_level = (top + bottom) / 2.0
right_index = extend_boxes ? bar_index + extend_length_bars : bar_index
bx = box.new(bar_index - 2, top, right_index, bottom)
eq_ln = line.new(bar_index - 2, eq_level, right_index, eq_level)
line.set_style(eq_ln, line.style_dashed)
line.set_color(eq_ln, eq_color)
You can use this line as a neutral “fair value” reference inside the zone, or as a simple way to think in terms of premium/discount within each gap.
3. Mitigation rules and styling
Each FVG stays active until price trades back into the gap:
Bullish FVG is considered mitigated when the low touches or moves below the top of the gap.
Bearish FVG is considered mitigated when the high touches or moves above the bottom of the gap.
When that happens, the script:
Marks the internal FVGData entry as mitigated.
Softens the box fill and border colors.
Optionally updates the label text from "BULL EQ / BEAR EQ" to "BULL FILLED / BEAR FILLED".
Can hide mitigated zones almost completely if you only want to see unfilled imbalances.
This allows you to distinguish between current areas of interest and zones that have already been traded through.
4. Candle pattern overlays (engulfing and doji)
For additional confluence, the script can mark simple candle patterns on top of the FVG view:
Bullish engulfing — current candle body fully wraps the previous bearish body and is larger in size.
Bearish engulfing — current candle body fully wraps the previous bullish body and is larger in size.
Doji — candles where the real body is small relative to the full range (high–low).
The detection is based on basic body and range geometry:
curr_body = math.abs(close - open)
prev_body = math.abs(close - open )
curr_range = high - low
body_ratio = curr_range > 0 ? curr_body / curr_range : 1.0
bull_engulfing = close > open and close < open and open <= close and close >= open and curr_body > prev_body
bear_engulfing = close < open and close > open and open >= close and close <= open and curr_body > prev_body
is_doji = curr_range > 0 and body_ratio <= doji_body_ratio
On the chart, they appear as:
Small triangle markers below bullish engulfing candles.
Small triangle markers above bearish engulfing candles.
Small circles above doji candles.
All three overlays are optional and can be turned on or off and recolored in the CANDLE PATTERNS group of inputs.
5. Inputs overview
The script organizes settings into clear groups:
DISPLAY SETTINGS : Show bullish/bearish FVGs, show/hide mitigated zones, box extension length, box border width, and maximum number of boxes.
EQUILIBRIUM : Toggle equilibrium lines, color, and line width.
LABELS : Enable labels, choose whether to label unmitigated and/or mitigated zones, and select label size.
BULLISH COLORS / BEARISH COLORS : Separate fill and border colors for bullish and bearish gaps.
MITIGATED STYLE : Opacity used when a gap is marked as mitigated.
STATISTICS : Toggle the on-chart FVG statistics panel.
CANDLE PATTERNS : Show engulfing patterns, show dojis, colors, and the body-to-range threshold that defines a doji.
6. Statistics panel
An optional table in the corner of the chart summarizes the current state of all tracked gaps:
Total number of FVGs still being tracked.
Number of bullish vs bearish FVGs.
Number of unfilled vs mitigated FVGs.
Simple fill rate: percentage of tracked FVGs that have been marked as mitigated.
This can help you study how a particular market tends to treat gaps over time.
7. How you might use it (examples)
These are usage ideas only, not recommendations:
Study how often your symbol mitigates gaps and where inside the zone price tends to react.
Use higher-timeframe context and then refine entries near the equilibrium line on your trading timeframe.
Combine FVG zones with basic candle patterns (engulfing/doji) as an extra visual anchor, if that fits your process.

Ultimate Trend System — FINAL MASTER EDITIONUltimate Trend System — FINAL MASTER EDITION
A complete, multi‑layered trend‑detection engine designed for precision execution and clarity.
This final edition fuses trend, momentum, volatility, and filtering into one symmetrical logic system — enabling traders to instantly visualize directional strength and avoid false signals during choppy markets.
🔹 System Overview
The Ultimate Trend System consolidates several classic trading frameworks into a unified model.
It dynamically generates BUY, SELL, and STOP tags directly on the chart — each derived from clean, interlinked conditions that measure both momentum and structure.
In addition, a built‑in information panel summarizes live indicator states for quick decision‑making without checking multiple indicators.
⚙️ Core Logic Components
SMA (20‑period): Identifies trend slope; rising → bullish bias, falling → bearish bias.
VWAP: Defines fair‑value position — Above, Below, or Inside volume‑weighted average price.
QQE‑Lite (RSI): Tracks internal momentum shifts by comparing RSI to its EMA smoothing.
ATR Strength: Classifies current volatility regime as Turbo, Strong, or Weak.
SuperTrend: Confirms structural trend direction using an ATR‑based trailing model.
Choppiness Filter: Suppresses signals when short‑term volatility contracts or range noise dominates.
Fakeout Detection: Prevents false triggers after deceptive breakouts or reversals.
🧩 Execution Logic
BUY Signal: All major trend engines align bullishly, with clean structure and momentum.
SELL Signal: All major engines align bearishly, with clean structure and momentum.
STOP Phase: Appears once per cycle to mark neutral or transition zones; automatically locks further stops until a new entry signal is confirmed.
🟩🟥 Visual Elements
Green Labels: Confirmed bullish entry (BUY).
Red Labels: Confirmed bearish entry (SELL).
Yellow Labels: STOP state (trend exhaustion or consolidation).
Panel: Displays live readings for VWAP, SMA, QQE, ATR regime, and SuperTrend direction.
🧠 Design Philosophy
Built for simplicity, speed, and precision — the Final Master Edition strips away noise without losing analytical depth.
It can serve as a standalone trend system or foundation layer for more advanced frameworks like auto‑execution or multi‑engine HUDs.
