Engulfing Failed Zone Detector by RWBTradeLabEngulfing Failed Zone Detector by RWBTradeLab
A clean, non-repainting tool that focuses on one thing only: showing where strong engulfing patterns failed and the market broke through their base.
What this indicator does
This script automatically scans for confirmed engulfing patterns (Regular & E-Regular) and then tracks where those structures are invalidated.
It highlights two types of failure zones:
1. Buy Engulfing Failed
* A bullish engulfing pattern forms (Regular or E-Regular).
* Later, a bearish candle closes below the base low of that engulfing.
* The zone from the base candle to the failure candle is marked as Buy EG Failed .
2. Sell Engulfing Failed
* A bearish engulfing pattern forms (Regular or E-Regular).
* Later, a bullish candle closes above the base high of that engulfing.
* The zone from the base candle to the failure candle is marked as Sell EG Failed .
Only the first clear failure after each engulfing is drawn, keeping the chart clean and readable.
Visuals on chart
1. A rectangle (box) is drawn from the engulfing base candle to the failure candle.
2. Labels are placed automatically:
* Buy EG Failed (below the zone)
* Sell EG Failed (above the zone)
3. Label distance from the zone is controlled by Text Offset from Box (%).
4. Separate color controls for:
* Buy Engulfing Failed Box Color
* Sell Engulfing Failed Box Color
The label style matches Engulfing Detector by RWBTradeLab for a consistent visual experience.
Alerts
Built-in alerts trigger only on confirmed bar close when a new failure completes:
* Buy EG Failed
* Sell EG Failed
Each alert message includes:
* Brand prefix: RWBTradeLab
* Price
* Time
* Ticker
Perfect for linking with bots, webhooks or alert-based trade management.
Key settings
Candle Length (closed candles)
* Defines how many recent confirmed candles are scanned (the live bar is excluded).
Display toggles
* Buy Engulfing Failed
* Sell Engulfing Failed
* Text
Turn each element ON/OFF to control how much information you want on the chart.
Text Offset from Box (%)
* Controls how far the label is placed from the failed zone, with a safe minimum to keep labels clear and readable.
Non-repainting confirmation
* All detection and alerts are based on closed candles only.
* No signals from the running candle, no repaint tricks.
* Once a failure zone appears, it stays fixed.
Best use
Failed engulfing zones can reveal:
* Broken demand/supply zones
* Liquidity grabs where “smart money” flushed traders out
* Strong momentum shifts after a failed reversal attempt
* Levels where continuation or clean retests often occur
Works on any symbol and timeframe. For best results, combine with:
* Higher timeframe structure
* Key support/resistance or supply/demand mapping
* Your own confirmation tools and risk management
Disclaimer
This indicator is a technical pattern-detection tool, not financial advice. Trading involves risk. Always confirm signals with your own analysis and use proper risk management.

Dragon Smart Ratings (IBD/CANSLIM methodology)🐉 Dragon Smart Ratings – Institutional Grade Analysis
Dragon Smart Ratings is a comprehensive technical and fundamental analysis tool designed to identify market leaders instantly. Inspired by the legendary IBD/CANSLIM methodology, this script calculates five key ratings to help traders separate the "True Leaders" from the rest of the market.
📊 KEY RATINGS EXPLAINED
1. 🟢 Composite Rating (Overall Score)
The master score (1-99) that combines all other ratings.
Smart Protection Logic: Includes a "Contrarian Shield." If a stock has exceptional fundamentals (EPS/SMR) but temporary price weakness, the Composite Rating is protected to ensure you don't miss potential turnaround plays (e.g., META scenarios).
Leader Boost: If a stock exhibits both high RS and high EPS, the score is mathematically forced to 95-99.
2. 📈 RS Rating (Relative Strength)
Measures price performance against the general market (SPY) over the last 12 months.
Leader Logic: heavily weights the most recent 3 months.
Near-High Bonus: Awards extra points if the price is trading near its 52-week high.
3. 💰 EPS Rating (Earnings Per Share)
Analyzes earnings growth on both a Quarterly and Annual basis.
🚀 Smart Fill Technology: TradingView sometimes returns N/A or delayed data for ADRs (like TSM) or international stocks (like AGI). This script detects if a stock has high Price Strength (RS > 90) and automatically extrapolates a fair EPS score, ensuring Leaders are never rated "40" due to missing data.
King Mode: If a stock shows massive growth (>50%) in either the last quarter or the 3-year average, it gets a perfect score.
4. 💎 SMR Rating (Sales + Profit Margins + ROE)
Grades stocks from A (Best) to E (Worst).
Hero Mode: Unlike traditional strict algorithms, Dragon Ratings recognizes that one "Super Metric" (e.g., a massive 40% Margin) can outweigh a lower ROE. If a stock excels in just one category, it qualifies for an A or B.
5. 📦 Acc/Dis Rating (Accumulation/Distribution)
Analyzes Volume and Price action to detect Institutional Buying or Selling.
Strict Mode: Uses a refined Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) logic combined with a "Trend Penalty." It is very difficult to get an A rating unless there is significant heavy-volume buying while the price is above key moving averages.
📱 MOBILE OPTIMIZED (SOLO MODE)
Most fundamental scripts crash on mobile due to memory limits. Dragon Smart Ratings V33 uses advanced Tuple Requests and reduced historical calls to ensure zero crashes on the TradingView Mobile App, while still delivering deep fundamental analysis.
🔔 ALERTS & TELEGRAM INTEGRATION
Built-in support for JSON Alerts.
You can set up a single alert to send a formatted message to your Telegram Bot containing all rating details whenever a stock crosses your defined threshold (default: Composite > 80).

Affirmify AI — Entry PrecisionAffirmify AI — Entry Precision is a multi-factor directional model with entry-quality filter and ATR-based SL/TP, synced with the Affirmify core engine.
What is Affirmify AI — Entry Precision?
Affirmify AI — Entry Precision is the TradingView front-end of the Affirmify core model.
It combines:
multi-timeframe trend filters
momentum & volatility conditions
an entry-quality check (candle body vs ATR)
ATR-based SL/TP engine
The script is designed to mirror the logic of the Affirmify Python backend used on AffirmifyHub.com.
Core idea
1.Score (core direction):
Built from ADX, EMA trend, RSI zone, MACD histogram, DI+/DI- and ATR volatility penalty.
Score ≥ +2 → BUY bias
Score ≤ −2 → SELL bias
Between −1 and +1 → no clear direction.
2.Higher-timeframe (MTF) confirmation:
Same style of scoring on a higher TF (default 4H).
If MTF direction conflicts with the main timeframe, the script will show “MTF conflict / NO TRADE” and block signals.
3.Entry quality filter:
Checks if the candle body is large enough vs ATR (Min body size (x ATR)).
Output:
CONFIRMED – direction + volatility + body are aligned
WAIT FOR BETTER ENTRY – direction ok, but body is too small
NO QUALITY ENTRY – conditions are not met.
4.ATR-based SL/TP engine:
Internal engine (uses ATR × multiplier or minimal tick distance).
Values are shown on the panel only (no lines drawn on chart), so the chart stays clean.
Panel overview
The panel in the top-right shows:
Action – BUY / SELL / NO TRADE
Status – CONFIRMED / WAIT FOR BETTER ENTRY / NO SIGNAL / MTF conflict
Entry – last confirmed entry price
SL / TP – suggested ATR-based stop-loss and take-profit
Higher TF – higher timeframe filter state (ON/OFF and TF used)
Score – core multi-factor score on the current timeframe
Vol – “Normal volatility” or “Low volatility (ATR penalized)”
Inputs – quick guide
Trend & Filters
EMA Fast / Mid / Slow – EMAs used for trend & bias detection
ADX Length – period for ADX (trend strength)
RSI Length – period for RSI zone filter
ATR Length – ATR used for volatility & body/SL/TP logic
Low ATR threshold (% of price) – defines when the market is considered “low volatility”.
Higher timeframe confirmation
Use higher timeframe filter – enable / disable MTF confirmation
Higher TF – e.g. 240 (4H), 60 (1H), etc.
Entry Precision
Min body size (x ATR) – minimum body vs ATR required for a CONFIRMED entry.
SL / TP
Min SL = ATR x – minimal ATR distance for SL
Min TP = ATR x – minimal ATR distance for TP
Min SL in ticks / Min TP in ticks – hard floor, based on instrument tick size.
Visuals
Show info panel – show / hide the top-right dashboard
Show status badges – textual badges above the last candle
Draw ENTRY/SL/TP (panel only, legacy) – kept for compatibility; does not draw lines in this version.
Alerts
The script provides three alert conditions:
Affirmify: BUY confirmed
Triggered when BUY direction is aligned and entry quality is CONFIRMED (no MTF conflict).
Affirmify: SELL confirmed
Triggered when SELL direction is aligned and entry quality is CONFIRMED (no MTF conflict).
Affirmify: wait for better entry
Direction is valid, but candle body is not yet strong enough – potential setup forming.
You can connect these alerts to your own automation, bots or dashboards.
How to use it (typical workflow)
Select your symbol and timeframe (most users focus on 1H / 4H).
Wait for the panel to show a clear Action (BUY or SELL) with a solid Score (≥ +2 or ≤ −2).
Look for Status = CONFIRMED for actual entries.
Use the panel SL / TP values as a starting point for your own risk management.
Avoid trades when:
Status shows “NO SIGNAL” or “NO CLEAR DIRECTION”
MTF conflict is active
Volatility is extremely low for your style.

Indicator ***TuYa*** V8.2 – HH/HL MTF + Peak Mid ZoneIndicator TuYa V8.0 – HH/HL MTF + Peak Mid Zone
TuYa V8.0 combines multi-timeframe market structure with a Peak Reaction midline to create clean, rule-based reversal and trend entries – designed primarily for 1-minute execution with 1-hour bias.
🧠 Core Concept
This indicator fuses three ideas:
HTF Peak Reaction Midline (1H)
Uses a Peak Reaction style logic on the higher timeframe (HTF, default: 1H).
Identifies a reaction high and reaction low, then calculates their midpoint → the Peak Mid Zone.
This midline acts as a dynamic sentiment divider (above = premium / below = discount).
Multi-Timeframe HH/HL/LH/LL Structure
HTF structure (1H): detects HH, HL, LH, LL using pivot highs/lows.
LTF structure (1m): detects HH, HL, LH, LL on the execution timeframe (chart TF, intended for 1m).
HTF → LTF Confirmation Window
After a 1H structure event (HH, HL, LL, LH), the indicator opens a confirmation window of up to N LTF candles (default: 10 x 1m bars).
Within that window, the required 1m structure event must occur to confirm an entry.
🎯 Signal Logic
All entries are generated on the LTF (e.g. 1m chart), using HTF (e.g. 1H) bias + Peak Mid Zone:
1️⃣ Price ABOVE Peak Mid (Bullish premium zone)
Reversal SELL
HTF: HH (Higher High)
Within N 1m bars: LTF HH
→ SELL signal (fading HTF strength near premium)
Trend/Bullish BUY
HTF: HL (Higher Low)
Within N 1m bars: LTF LL
→ BUY signal (buying dips in an uptrend above midline)
2️⃣ Price BELOW Peak Mid (Bearish discount zone)
Reversal BUY
HTF: LL (Lower Low)
Within N 1m bars: LTF LL
→ BUY signal (catching potential reversal from discount)
Trend/Bearish SELL
HTF: LH (Lower High)
Within N 1m bars: LTF HH
→ SELL signal (shorting strength in a downtrend below midline)
Signals are plotted as small BUY/SELL triangles on the chart and exposed via alert conditions.
🧾 Filters & Options
⏳ HTF → LTF Delay Window
Input: “Max 1m bars after HTF trigger” (default: 10)
After a 1H HH/HL/LL/LH event, the indicator waits up to N LTF candles for the matching 1m structure pattern.
If no match occurs within the window, no signal is generated.
📉 RSI No-Trade Zone (HTF)
Toggle: Use RSI no-trade zone
Inputs:
RSI Length (HTF)
No-trade lower bound (default 45)
No-trade upper bound (default 65)
If HTF RSI is inside the defined band (e.g. 45–65), signals are blocked (no-trade regime), helping to avoid noisy mid-range conditions.
You can turn this filter ON/OFF and adjust the band dynamically.
🧱 5m OB / Direction Filter (Optional)
Toggle: Use 5m OB direction filter
Timeframe: Configurable (default: 5m).
Uses a simple directional proxy on the OB timeframe:
For BUY signals → require a bullish candle on OB timeframe.
For SELL signals → require a bearish candle on OB timeframe.
When enabled, this adds an extra layer of confluence by aligning entries with the short-term directional context.
⚙️ Key Inputs (Summary)

specific breakout FiFTOStrategy Description: 10:14 Breakout Only
Overview This is a time-based intraday trading strategy designed to capture momentum bursts that occur specifically after the 10:14 AM candle closes. It operates on the logic that if price breaks the high of this specific candle within a short window, a trend continuation is likely.
Core Logic & Rules
The Setup Candle (10:14 AM)
The strategy waits specifically for the minute candle at 10:14 to complete.
Once this candle closes, the strategy records its High price.
Defining the Entry Level
It calculates a trigger price by taking the 10:14 High and adding a user-defined Buffer (e.g., +1 point).
Formula: Entry Level = 10:14 High + Buffer
The "Active Window" (Expiry)
The trade setup does not remain open all day. It has a strict time limit.
By default, the setup is valid from 10:15 to 10:20.
If the price does not break the Entry Level by the expiry time (default 10:20), the setup is cancelled and no trade is taken for the day.
Entry Trigger
If a candle closes above the Entry Level while the window is open, a Long (Buy) position is opened immediately.
Exits (Risk Management)
Stop Loss: A fixed number of points below the entry price.
Target: A fixed number of points above the entry price.
Visual & Automation Features
Visual Boxes: Upon entry, the strategy draws a "Long Position" style visual on the chart. A green box highlights the profit zone, and a red box highlights the loss zone. These boxes extend automatically until the trade closes.
JSON Alerts: The strategy is pre-configured to send data-rich alerts for automation (e.g., Telegram bots).
Entry Alert: Includes Symbol, Entry Price, SL, and TP.
Exit Alerts: Specific messages for "Target Hit" or "SL Hit".
Summary of User Inputs
Entry Buffer: Extra points added to the high to filter false breaks.
Fixed Stop Loss: Risk per trade in points.
Fixed Target: Reward per trade in points.
Expiry Minute: The minute (10:xx) at which the setup becomes invalid if not triggered.
SmartDCA by TradeAkademiSmartDCA is an advanced position-management strategy built to deliver consistent results even as market conditions shift. Its price-action–driven structure, intelligent DCA scaling model, and multiple entry options provide a powerful automation framework suitable for both beginners and professional traders. With flexible TP/DCA configurations and safety modules such as Smart Take Profit, Risk Reset Exit, and Fail Safe Stop, positions scale more efficiently, risks are managed proactively, and capital remains protected at every stage. SmartDCA is a fully customizable, modern trading engine that offers high adaptability across different assets and timeframes.
The strategy supports five entry methodologies:
ta_default – Opens positions on breakout confirmations based on the selected period’s local highs and lows.
ta_volatility – Uses the same breakout logic while filtering entries that would place the target level outside the system’s defined safety zone.
ta_safety – Extends the volatility model with an additional candle-quality filter, avoiding structurally weak entries and behaving more conservatively.
rsi_based – Generates entries when RSI drops below 30 or rises above 70.
ema_based – Opens positions based on directional shifts in the moving average.
SmartDCA is fully configurable: entry logic, DCA percentage and multiplier, take-profit (TP) settings, maximum DCA steps, order-size mode, and directional preferences can all be tailored to fit any asset, market condition, or timeframe .
Default parameters are optimized for the 30-minute chart.
The strategy also includes three optional protective mechanisms:
Smart Take Profit – Closes profitable trades early when price approaches the target within a configurable proximity, reducing exposure to potential reversal signals.
Risk Reset Exit – After a defined DCA step, the position is closed at breakeven once price returns to the average entry level.
Fail Safe Stop – If the maximum DCA step is reached and recovery fails to occur, the trade is closed at a controlled loss.
All protection modules can be enabled individually and configured to activate only after specific DCA levels, allowing SmartDCA to remain adaptive yet controlled under varying market dynamics.
🟡 GOLD 4H HUD v8.9 — Loose ICT OB + Strong/Weak + FVG/HVN/LVNGOLD 4H HUD v8.9 is a clean, structured Smart Money Concepts (SMC)–based analysis tool designed exclusively for XAUUSD on the 4-hour timeframe.
It focuses on the three most important elements for institutional orderflow analysis:
✔ Loose ICT Order Blocks (Demand/Supply)
✔ Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
✔ Volume Profile Zones (HVN/LVN/POC)
The script builds a professional-style HUD that displays the key institutional regions and structural levels that matter most for gold traders.
📌 Key Features
1 — Market Structure Engine (HH/HL & BOS)
The indicator detects:
Minor swing Highs and Lows
Last confirmed HH / HL levels
Break of Structure (BOS) for directional bias
EMA-200 trend filter (UP / DOWN / NEUTRAL)
This gives traders a clean structural read without clutter or noise.
2 — Loose FVG Engine (Tolerance-Based ICT Gaps)
A soft-threshold FVG engine detects “loose” Fair Value Gaps using a 0.1% price tolerance.
This method ensures:
Fewer missed imbalances
Cleaner OB/FVG alignment
Higher accuracy on 4H gold displacement legs
FVGs automatically shift to the right side of the chart for clean visualization.
3 — Order Block Engine (Demand/Supply + Strong/Weak Classification)
A simplified ICT-style OB engine scans the past few candles whenever BOS is detected.
It identifies:
Demand OB during bullish BOS
Supply OB during bearish BOS
Strong OB if fully nested inside an active FVG
Weak OB otherwise
OB boxes include:
Clear color coding (strong vs. weak)
Price range labels inside each box
Automatic right-shift for visual clarity
4 — Volume Profile Engine (POC / HVN / LVN / VAH / VAL)
Based on a rolling window (default 120 bars), the script builds a lightweight volume distribution.
It displays:
POC (Point of Control)
HVN (High Volume Node)
LVN (Low Volume Node)
Value Area High / Low
HVN/LVN zones are shown as right-shifted colored boxes with price labels.
These zones help identify:
Institutional accumulation
Low-liquidity rejection points
Areas where price tends to react strongly
5 — Support / Resistance Mapping
The script automatically generates:
OB-based support/resistance
Swing-high/swing-low levels
HVN/LVN structural levels
These are displayed in the HUD for fast reference.
6 — Professional HUD Panel
A compact, easy-to-read HUD summarizes:
Trend direction
Latest HH/HL
OB ranges (Strong/Weak)
HVN/LVN price zones
POC
Multi-layer support & resistance
This turns the script into a fully functional analysis dashboard.
📌 What This Indicator Is NOT
To avoid misunderstanding:
It does not take entries or generate buy/sell signals
It does not auto-detect CHOCH, MSS, SMT, or sweeps
It is not a trading bot
This tool is designed as an institutional-style map and analysis HUD, not a strategy.

QuantMotions - TPR SentinelQuantMotions – TPR Sentinel
The TPR Sentinel Band is a full trade-assistant for discretionary traders.
It combines an adaptive trend engine, directional TPR logic, volume intelligence, ATR-based risk management, a brute-force parameter optimizer, and a modern on-chart UI (entries/TP/SL panel + stats). The goal: fewer fake flips, clearer trend shifts, and visually guided trade management.
1. Core Concept
The Sentinel Line is built from a blend of:
- SMA + EMA
- Midline of highest/lowest high/low (Kijun-style)
- Donchian-style mid close
On top of that, the script calculates a Directional TPR (Time-Price-Ratio):
- Short / medium / long slopes of price
- Normalized by ATR
- Converted into a trend state:
+1 = Uptrend
-1 = Downtrend
0 = Neutral / transition
Hysteresis (Flux) controls how easily the trend flips:
- Higher hysteresis → harder to reverse → fewer fake-outs in chop.
2. Signals, Filters & Volume Intelligence
Signals
- Trend Flip Long: TrendState changes from −1/0 → +1.
- Trend Flip Short: TrendState changes from +1/0 → −1.
Filters
- ADX Filter (optional):
- Only allows trades if ADX is above a chosen threshold.
- Avoids trading in flat, low-energy markets.
R:R Filter:
- Before any signal is accepted, the script checks whether the distance to TP1 is at least the configured Risk:Reward ratio relative to the distance to SL.
- Only if that minimum R:R is reached, a signal becomes valid.
Volume Intelligence & Clouds
- Aggregates up/down volume (optionally across multiple tickers you define).
- Builds Volume Clouds around the Sentinel Line:
a) Positive intensity → buying pressure (bullish cloud).
b) Negative intensity → selling pressure (bearish cloud).
Optional Volume Direction Filter:
- Long only when volume intensity ≥ 0.
- Short only when volume intensity ≤ 0.
3. Risk, Exits & Trailing Stop
The indicator includes a complete exit framework (for visual/manual trading):
Stop Loss Modes
- ATR Fixed: SL placed at a fixed ATR multiple from the entry.
- Trend Line (Dynamic): SL placed directly on the Sentinel Band (structural stop).
Take Profits
- TP1 – “safe target”:
a) Based on ATR distance.
b) Closes a configurable percentage of the position (e.g., 50%).
- TP2 (optional):
Second fixed target used only when Trailing Stop is OFF.
- Trend Runner Mode (Use TP = OFF):
Ignores fixed TP levels and rides the trend until the trend state flips.
Trailing Stop
- Activates after TP1 is hit (if enabled).
- Moves with price at a configurable ATR distance:
a) Long: trail creeps up under price.
b) Short: trail creeps down above price.
- Visually plotted as a purple trail line, dynamically replacing the original SL as the effective exit point.
Each trade is tracked internally and drawn as a green/red box with PnL labels between entry and exit.
4. UI & Stats
Candle Coloring (TRON Theme)
- Cyan = active uptrend & valid environment.
- Orange = active downtrend & valid environment.
Modern Trade Panel (on last bar)
- Live overlay of:
a) Entry
b) TP1
c) TP2
d) SL or active Trail (with dynamic label text: “SL (ATR)”, “SL (Struct)”, “TRAIL”)
Info label shows:
- Historical win rate in the current direction (Long/Short).
- Distance to SL, TP1, TP2 from current price.
- Box color blends from red → green depending on whether price is closer to SL or TP.
Stats Table (Bottom Right)
- Separate stats for Long and Short trades:
a) Win rate (%)
b) Cumulative PnL
Alerts
- Generates JSON alerts on signals, for example: {"side":"buy","ticker":"XYZ","price":123.45}
Perfect for webhooks, bots, or external automation.
5. Brute Force Optimizer (TPR Lab) – Important Limitations
The built-in Optimizer is a numerical helper, not a full strategy optimizer.
What it does:
- Runs brute-force simulations over a sliding window of historical data.
- Scans user-defined ranges for:
- Best Period (“Best Cycle”)
- Best Hysteresis (“Best Flux”)
Uses an efficiency score (average profit per trade) to rank combinations.
Displays results in the bottom-left TRON panel:
- Best Cycle
- Best Hysteresis
- Efficiency Score
What it does NOT optimize or take into account:
- It does not include your actual minimum R:R filter.
- It does not simulate or optimize your Stop Loss modes.
- It does not simulate Trailing Stops.
- It does not use the ADX filter.
- It does not use the Volume filters or Volume Clouds.
Because of this, the suggested “best” Period and Hysteresis are purely computational recommendations based on a simplified internal model.
In real trading, with your full setup (R:R filter, SL mode, Trailing, ADX, Volume confirmation, personal style), other parameter combinations can be superior to what the Optimizer suggests.
You should treat the Optimizer as:
A starting point or a research tool, not the final truth.
Always validate its suggestions visually, in the context of your full system and risk management.
6. Practical Usage
- Works on FX, indices, crypto, commodities – anything with decent liquidity.
- Scalping → use lower Period values, higher responsiveness.
- Swing → use higher Period values, more stability.
Recommended:
- Keep ADX filter ON to avoid dead markets.
- Use Volume Clouds as directional bias.
- Use the Info Panel and Stats to align with your own R:R and risk rules.

Obsidian Flux Matrix# Obsidian Flux Matrix | JackOfAllTrades
Made with my Senior Level AI Pine Script v6 coding bot for the community!
Narrative Overview
Obsidian Flux Matrix (OFM) is an open-source Pine Script v6 study that fuses social sentiment, higher timeframe trend bias, fair-value-gap detection, liquidity raids, VWAP gravitation, session profiling, and a diagnostic HUD. The layout keeps the obsidian palette so critical overlays stay readable without overwhelming a price chart.
Purpose & Scope
OFM focuses on actionable structure rather than marketing claims. It documents every driver that powers its confluence engine so reviewers understand what triggers each visual.
Core Analytical Pillars
1. Social Pulse Engine
Sentiment Webhook Feed: Accepts normalized scores (-1 to +1). Signals only arm when the EMA-smoothed value exceeds the `sentimentMin` input (0.35 by default).
Volume Confirmation: Requires local volume > 30-bar average × `volSpikeMult` (default 2.0) before sentiment flags.
EMA Cross Validation: Fast EMA 8 crossing above/below slow EMA 21 keeps momentum aligned with flow.
Momentum Alignment: Multi-timeframe momentum composite must agree (positive for longs, negative for shorts).
2. Peer Momentum Heatmap
Multi-Timeframe Blend: RSI + Stoch RSI fetched via request.security() on 1H/4H/1D by default.
Composite Scoring: Each timeframe votes +1/-1/0; totals are clamped between -3 and +3.
Intraday Readability: Configurable band thickness (1-5) so scalpers see context without losing space.
Dynamic Opacity: Stronger agreement boosts column opacity for quick bias checks.
3. Trend & Displacement Framework
Dual EMA Ribbon: Cyan/magenta ribbon highlights immediate posture.
HTF Bias: A higher-timeframe EMA (default 55 on 4H) sets macro direction.
Displacement Score: Body-to-ATR ratio (>1.4 default) detects impulses that seed FVGs or VWAP raids.
ATR Normalization: All thresholds float with volatility so the study adapts to assets and regimes.
4. Intelligent Fair Value Gap (FVG) System
Gap Detection: Three-candle logic (bullish: low > high ; bearish: high < low ) with ATR-sized minimums (0.15 × ATR default).
Overlap Prevention: Price-range checks stop redundant boxes.
Spacing Control: `fvgMinSpacing` (default 5) avoids stacking from the same impulse.
Storage Caps: Max three FVGs per side unless the user widens the limit.
Session Awareness: Kill zone filters keep taps focused on London/NY if desired.
Auto Cleanup: Boxes delete when price closes beyond their invalidation level.
5. VWAP Magnet + Liquidity Raid Engine
Session or Rolling VWAP: Toggle resets to match intraday or rolling preferences.
Equal High/Low Scanner: Looks back 20 bars by default for liquidity pools.
Displacement Filter: ATR multiplier ensures raids represent genuine liquidity sweeps.
Mean Reversion Focus: Signals fire when price displaces back toward VWAP following a raid.
6. Session Range Breakout System
Initial Balance Tracking: First N bars (15 default) define the session box.
Breakout Logic: Requires simultaneous liquidity spikes, nearby FVG activity, and supportive momentum.
Z-Score Volume Filter: >1.5σ by default to filter noisy moves.
7. Lifestyle Liquidity Scanner
Volume Z-Scores: 50-bar baseline highlights statistically significant spikes.
Smart Money Footprints: Bottom-of-chart squares color-code buy vs sell participation.
Panel Memory: HUD logs the last five raid timestamps, direction, and normalized size.
8. Risk Matrix & Diagnostic HUD
HUD Structure: Table in the top-right summarizes HTF bias, sentiment, momentum, range state, liquidity memory, and current risk references.
Signal Tags: Aggregates SPS, FVG, VWAP, Range, and Liquidity states into a compact string.
Risk Metrics: Swing-based stops (5-bar lookback) + ATR targets (1.5× default) keep risk transparent.
Signal Families & Alerts
Social Pulse (SPS): Volume-confirmed sentiment alignment; triangle markers with “SPS”.
Kill-Zone FVG: Session + HTF alignment + FVG tap; arrow markers plus SL/TP labels.
Local FVG: Captures local reversals when HTF bias has not flipped yet.
VWAP Raid: Equal-high/low raids that snap toward VWAP; “VWAP” label markers.
Range Breakout: Initial balance violations with liquidity and imbalance confirmation; circle markers.
Liquidity Spike: Z-score spikes ≥ threshold; square markers along the baseline.
Visual Design & Customization
Theme Palette: Primary background RGB (12,6,24). Accent shading RGB (26,10,48). Long accents RGB (88,174,255). Short accents RGB (219,109,255).
Stylized Candles: Optional overlay using theme colors.
Signal Toggles: Independently enable markers, heatmap, and diagnostics.
Label Spacing: Auto-spacing enforces ≥4-bar gaps to prevent text overlap.
Customization & Workflow Notes
Adjust ATR/FVG thresholds when volatility shifts.
Re-anchor sentiment to your webhook cadence; EMA smoothing (default 5) dampens noise.
Reposition the HUD by editing the `table.new` coordinates.
Use multiples of the chart timeframe for HTF requests to minimize load.
Session inputs accept exchange-local time; align them to your market.
Performance & Compliance
Pure Pine v6: Single-line statements, no `lookahead_on`.
Resource Safe: Arrays trimmed, boxes limited, `request.security` cached.
Repaint Awareness: Signals confirm on close; alerts mirror on-chart logic.
Runtime Safety: Arrays/loops guard against `na`.
Use Cases
Measure when social sentiment aligns with structure.
Plan ICT-style intraday rebalances around session-specific FVG taps.
Fade VWAP raids when displacement shows exhaustion.
Watch initial balance breaks backed by statistical volume.
Keep risk/target references anchored in ATR logic.
Signal Logic Snapshot
Social Pulse Long/Short: `sentimentEMA` gated by `sentimentMin`, `volSpike`, EMA 8/21 cross, and `momoComposite` sign agreement. Keeps hype tied to structural follow-through.
Kill-Zone FVG Long/Short: Requires session filter, HTF EMA bias alignment, and an active FVG tap (`bullFvgTap` / `bearFvgTap`). Labels include swing stops + ATR targets pulled from `swingLookback` and `liqTargetMultiple`.
Local FVG Long/Short: Uses `localBullish` / `localBearish` heuristics (EMA slope, displacement, sequential closes) to surface intraday reversals even when HTF bias has not flipped.
VWAP Raids: Detect equal-high/equal-low sweeps (`raidHigh`, `raidLow`) that revert toward `sessionVwap` or rolling VWAP when displacement exceeds `vwapAlertDisplace`.
Range Breakouts: Combine `rangeComplete`, breakout confirmation, liquidity spikes, and nearby FVG activity for statistically backed initial balance breaks.
Liquidity Spikes: Volume Z-score > `zScoreThreshold` logs direction, size, and timestamp for the HUD and optional review workflows.
Session Logic & VWAP Handling
Kill zone + NY session inputs use TradingView’s session strings; `f_inSession()` drives both visual shading and whether FVG taps are tradeable when `killZoneOnly` is true.
Session VWAP resets using cumulative price × volume sums that restart when the daily timestamp changes; rolling VWAP falls back to `ta.vwap(hlc3)` for instruments where daily resets are less relevant.
Initial balance box (`rangeBars` input) locks once complete, extends forward, and stays on chart to contextualize later liquidity raids or breakouts.
Parameter Reference
Trend: `emaFastLen`, `emaSlowLen`, `htfResolution`, `htfEmaLen`, `showEmaRibbon`, `showHtfBiasLine`.
Momentum: `tf1`, `tf2`, `tf3`, `rsiLen`, `stochLen`, `stochSmooth`, `heatmapHeight`.
Volume/Liquidity: `volLookback`, `volSpikeMult`, `zScoreLen`, `zScoreThreshold`, `equalLookback`.
VWAP & Sessions: `vwapMode`, `showVwapLine`, `vwapAlertDisplace`, `killSession`, `nySession`, `showSessionShade`, `rangeBars`.
FVG/Risk: `fvgMinTicks`, `fvgLookback`, `fvgMinSpacing`, `killZoneOnly`, `liqTargetMultiple`, `swingLookback`.
Visualization Toggles: `showSignalMarkers`, `showHeatmapBand`, `showInfoPanel`, `showStylizedCandles`.
Workflow Recipes
Kill-Zone Continuation: During the defined kill session, look for `killFvgLong` or `killFvgShort` arrows that line up with `sentimentValid` and positive `momoComposite`. Use the HUD’s risk readout to confirm SL/TP distances before entering.
VWAP Raid Fade: Outside kill zone, track `raidToVwapLong/Short`. Confirm the candle body exceeds the displacement multiplier, and price crosses back toward VWAP before considering reversions.
Range Break Monitor: After the initial balance locks, mark `rangeBreakLong/Short` circles only when the momentum band is >0 or <0 respectively and a fresh FVG box sits near price.
Liquidity Spike Review: When the HUD shows “Liquidity” timestamps, hover the plotted squares at chart bottom to see whether spikes were buy/sell oriented and if local FVGs formed immediately after.

ROC Bot AlertsA rules-based momentum scalping framework for short-term index futures
This indicator is designed for traders who focus on fast-moving, intraday momentum opportunities—particularly on lower timeframes such as the 1-minute chart. It uses a structured combination of trend filters and short-term momentum tools to help identify potential continuation entries during active market conditions.
Core Concept
The tool evaluates price behavior relative to a dynamic trend line while measuring short-term rate-of-change and directional strength. When all components align, the indicator highlights moments where the market may be transitioning into or sustaining momentum in one direction. Conversely, when conditions deteriorate or momentum weakens, the indicator suppresses signals to reduce noise and avoid choppy environments.
This approach aims to provide buy/sell signals for scalping in trending or expanding-volatility conditions.
What the Indicator Uses
The system assesses several factors before confirming a potential momentum signal:
A dynamic trend filter to determine directional bias
A rate-of-change threshold to confirm short-term acceleration
A trend-strength component to avoid signals during low-energy or ranging conditions
A cooldown mechanism to prevent rapid, back-to-back signals in unsettled areas
Only when all conditions align does the indicator paint a long or short trigger on the chart.
Intended Use
This tool is best suited for:
- Active scalpers
- Intraday index futures traders (NQ, ES, GC, etc.)
- Short-duration momentum traders
- Traders who prefer clean, rules-based decision making
It is not designed for swing trading, long-term trend following, or counter-trend strategies.
How to Read the Signals
- Buy markers appear when trend, momentum, and strength all support upward continuation.
- Sell markers appear when these same factors align in the opposite direction.
- The 90-period trend line can be shown or hidden based on user preference, but it remains part of the decision framework internally.
- The user may optionally adjust the momentum threshold (ROC%) to suit different volatility environments.
Important Notes
Signals are generated only on completed bars.
As with all technical tools, this should be used alongside proper risk and trade management practices.

MACD Forecast Colorful [DiFlip]MACD Forecast Colorful
The Future of Predictive MACD — is one of the most advanced and customizable MACD indicators ever published on TradingView. Built on the classic MACD foundation, this upgraded version integrates statistical forecasting through linear regression to anticipate future movements — not just react to the past.
With a total of 22 fully configurable long and short entry conditions, visual enhancements, and full automation support, this indicator is designed for serious traders seeking an analytical edge.
⯁ Real-Time MACD Forecasting
For the first time, a public MACD script combines the classic structure of MACD with predictive analytics powered by linear regression. Instead of simply responding to current values, this tool projects the MACD line, signal line, and histogram n bars into the future, allowing you to trade with foresight rather than hindsight.
⯁ Fully Customizable
This indicator is built for flexibility. It includes 22 entry conditions, all of which are fully configurable. Each condition can be turned on/off, chained using AND/OR logic, and adapted to your trading model.
Whether you're building a rules-based quant system, automating alerts, or refining discretionary signals, MACD Forecast Colorful gives you full control over how signals are generated, displayed, and triggered.
⯁ With MACD Forecast Colorful, you can:
• Detect MACD crossovers before they happen.
• Anticipate trend reversals with greater precision.
• React earlier than traditional indicators.
• Gain a powerful edge in both discretionary and automated strategies.
• This isn’t just smarter MACD — it’s predictive momentum intelligence.
⯁ Scientifically Powered by Linear Regression
MACD Forecast Colorful is the first public MACD indicator to apply least-squares predictive modeling to MACD behavior — effectively introducing machine learning logic into a time-tested tool.
It uses statistical regression to analyze historical behavior of the MACD and project future trajectories. The result is a forward-shifted MACD forecast that can detect upcoming crossovers and divergences before they appear on the chart.
⯁ Linear Regression: Technical Foundation
Linear regression is a statistical method that models the relationship between a dependent variable (y) and one or more independent variables (x). The basic formula for simple linear regression is:
y = β₀ + β₁x + ε
Where:
y = predicted variable (e.g., future MACD value)
x = independent variable (e.g., bar index)
β₀ = intercept
β₁ = slope
ε = random error (residual)
The regression model calculates β₀ and β₁ using the least squares method, minimizing the sum of squared prediction errors to produce the best-fit line through historical values. This line is then extended forward, generating a forecast based on recent price momentum.
⯁ Least Squares Estimation
The regression coefficients are computed with the following formulas:
β₁ = Σ((xᵢ - x̄)(yᵢ - ȳ)) / Σ((xᵢ - x̄)²)
β₀ = ȳ - β₁x̄
Where:
Σ denotes summation; x̄ and ȳ are the means of x and y; and i ranges from 1 to n (number of observations). These equations produce the best linear unbiased estimator under the Gauss–Markov assumptions — constant variance (homoscedasticity) and a linear relationship between variables.
⯁ Regression in Machine Learning
Linear regression is a foundational model in supervised learning. Its ability to provide precise, explainable, and fast forecasts makes it critical in AI systems and quantitative analysis.
Applying linear regression to MACD forecasting is the equivalent of injecting artificial intelligence into one of the most widely used momentum tools in trading.
⯁ Visual Interpretation
Picture the MACD values over time like this:
Time →
MACD →
A regression line is fitted to recent MACD values, then projected forward n periods. The result is a predictive trajectory that can cross over the real MACD or signal line — offering an early-warning system for trend shifts and momentum changes.
The indicator plots both current MACD and forecasted MACD, allowing you to visually compare short-term future behavior against historical movement.
⯁ Scientific Concepts Used
Linear Regression: models the relationship between variables using a straight line.
Least Squares Method: minimizes squared prediction errors for best-fit.
Time-Series Forecasting: projects future data based on past patterns.
Supervised Learning: predictive modeling using labeled inputs.
Statistical Smoothing: filters noise to highlight trends.
⯁ Why This Indicator Is Revolutionary
First open-source MACD with real-time predictive modeling.
Scientifically grounded with linear regression logic.
Automatable through TradingView alerts and bots.
Smart signal generation using forecasted crossovers.
Highly customizable with 22 buy/sell conditions.
Enhanced visuals with background (bgcolor) and area fill (fill) support.
This isn’t just an update — it’s the next evolution of MACD forecasting.
⯁ Example of simple linear regression with one independent variable
This example demonstrates how a basic linear regression works when there is only one independent variable influencing the dependent variable. This type of model is used to identify a direct relationship between two variables.
⯁ In linear regression, observations (red) are considered the result of random deviations (green) from an underlying relationship (blue) between a dependent variable (y) and an independent variable (x)
This concept illustrates that sampled data points rarely align perfectly with the true trend line. Instead, each observed point represents the combination of the true underlying relationship and a random error component.
⯁ Visualizing heteroscedasticity in a scatterplot with 100 random fitted values using Matlab
Heteroscedasticity occurs when the variance of the errors is not constant across the range of fitted values. This visualization highlights how the spread of data can change unpredictably, which is an important factor in evaluating the validity of regression models.
⯁ The datasets in Anscombe’s quartet were designed to have nearly the same linear regression line (as well as nearly identical means, standard deviations, and correlations) but look very different when plotted
This classic example shows that summary statistics alone can be misleading. Even with identical numerical metrics, the datasets display completely different patterns, emphasizing the importance of visual inspection when interpreting a model.
⯁ Result of fitting a set of data points with a quadratic function
This example illustrates how a second-degree polynomial model can better fit certain datasets that do not follow a linear trend. The resulting curve reflects the true shape of the data more accurately than a straight line.
⯁ What is the MACD?
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is a technical analysis indicator developed by Gerald Appel. It measures the relationship between two moving averages of a security’s price to identify changes in momentum, direction, and strength of a trend. The MACD is composed of three components: the MACD line, the signal line, and the histogram.
⯁ How to use the MACD?
The MACD is calculated by subtracting the 26-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) from the 12-period EMA. A 9-period EMA of the MACD line, called the signal line, is then plotted on top of the MACD line. The MACD histogram represents the difference between the MACD line and the signal line.
Here are the primary signals generated by the MACD:
• Bullish Crossover: When the MACD line crosses above the signal line, indicating a potential buy signal.
• Bearish Crossover: When the MACD line crosses below the signal line, indicating a potential sell signal.
• Divergence: When the price of the security diverges from the MACD, suggesting a potential reversal.
• Overbought/Oversold Conditions: Indicated by the MACD line moving far away from the signal line, though this is less common than in oscillators like the RSI.
⯁ How to use MACD forecast?
The MACD Forecast is built on the same foundation as the classic MACD, but with predictive capabilities.
Step 1 — Spot Predicted Crossovers:
Watch for forecasted bullish or bearish crossovers. These signals anticipate when the MACD line will cross the signal line in the future, letting you prepare trades before the move.
Step 2 — Confirm with Histogram Projection:
Use the projected histogram to validate momentum direction. A rising histogram signals strengthening bullish momentum, while a falling projection points to weakening or bearish conditions.
Step 3 — Combine with Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
Use forecasts across multiple timeframes to confirm signal strength (e.g., a 1h forecast aligned with a 4h forecast).
Step 4 — Set Entry Conditions & Automation:
Customize your buy/sell rules with the 20 forecast-based conditions and enable automation for bots or alerts.
Step 5 — Trade Ahead of the Market:
By preparing for future momentum shifts instead of reacting to the past, you’ll always stay one step ahead of lagging traders.

AliceTears GridAliceTears Grid is a customizable Mean Reversion system designed to capitalize on market volatility during specific trading sessions. Unlike standard grid bots that place blind limit orders, this strategy establishes a daily or session-based "Baseline" and looks for price over-extensions to fade the move back to the mean.
This strategy is best suited for ranging markets (sideways accumulation) or specific forex sessions (e.g., Asian Session or NY/London overlap) where price tends to revert to the opening price.
🛠 How It Works
1. The Baseline & Grid Generation At the start of every session (or the daily open), the script records the Open price. It then projects visual grid lines above and below this price based on your Step % input.
Example: If the Open is $100 and Step is 1%, lines are drawn at $101, $102, $99, $98, etc.
2. Entry Logic: Reversal Mode This script features a "Reversal Mode" (enabled by default) to filter out "falling knives."
Standard Grid: Buys immediately when price touches the line.
AliceTears Logic: Waits for the price to breach a grid level and then close back inside towards the mean. This confirms a potential rejection of that level before entering.
3. Exit Logic
Target Profit: The primary target is the previous grid level (Mean Reversion).
Trailing Stop: If the price continues moving in your favor, a trailing stop activates to maximize the run.
Stop Loss: A manual percentage-based stop loss is available to prevent deep drawdowns in trending markets.
⚙️ Key Features
Visual Grid: Automatically draws entry levels on the chart for the current session, helping you visualize where the "math" is waiting for price.
Timezone & Session Control: Includes a custom Timezone Offset tool. You can trade specific hours (e.g., 09:30–16:00) regardless of your chart's UTC setting.
Grid Management: Independent logic for Long and Short grids with pyramiding capabilities.
Safety Filters: Options to force-close trades at the end of the session to avoid overnight gaps.
⚠️ Risk Warning
Please Read Before Using: This is a Counter-Trend / Grid Strategy.
Pros: High win rate in sideways/ranging markets.
Cons: In strong trending markets (parabolic pumps or crashes), this strategy will add to losing positions ("catch a falling knife").
Recommendation: Always use the Stop Loss and Date Filter inputs. Do not run this on highly volatile assets without strict risk management parameters.
Settings Guide
Entry Reversal Mode: Keep checked for safer entries. Uncheck for aggressive limit-order style execution.
Grid Step (%): The distance between lines. For Forex, use lower values (0.1% - 0.5%). For Crypto, use higher values (1.0% - 3.0%).
UTC Offset: Adjust this to align the Session Hours with your target market (e.g., -5 for New York).

Super-AO with Risk Management Alerts Template - 11-29-25Super-AO with Risk Management: ALERTS & AUTOMATION Edition
Signal Lynx | Free Scripts supporting Automation for the Night-Shift Nation 🌙
1. Overview
This is the Indicator / Alerts companion to the Super-AO Strategy.
While the Strategy version is built for backtesting (verifying profitability and checking historical performance), this Indicator version is built for Live Execution.
We understand the frustration of finding a great strategy, only to realize you can't easily hook it up to your trading bot. This script solves that. It contains the exact same "Super-AO" logic and "Risk Management Engine" as the strategy version, but it is optimized to send signals to automation platforms like Signal Lynx, 3Commas, or any Webhook listener.
2. Quick Action Guide (TL;DR)
Purpose: Live Signal Generation & Automation.
Workflow:
Use the Strategy Version to find profitable settings.
Copy those settings into this Indicator Version.
Set a TradingView Alert using the "Any Alert() function call" condition.
Best Timeframe: 4 Hours (H4) and above.
Compatibility: Works with any webhook-based automation service.
3. Why Two Scripts?
Pine Script operates in two distinct modes:
Strategy Mode: Calculates equity, drawdowns, and simulates orders. Great for research, but sometimes complex to automate.
Indicator Mode: Plots visual data on the chart. This is the preferred method for setting up robust alerts because it is lighter weight and plots specific values that automation services can read easily.
The Golden Rule: Always backtest on the Strategy, but trade on the Indicator. This ensures that what you see in your history matches what you execute in real-time.
4. How to Automate This Script
This script uses a "Visual Spike" method to trigger alerts. Instead of drawing equity curves, it plots numerical values at the bottom of your chart when a trade event occurs.
The Signal Map:
Blue Spike (2 / -2): Entry Signal (Long / Short).
Yellow Spike (1 / -1): Risk Management Close (Stop Loss / Trend Reversal).
Green Spikes (1, 2, 3): Take Profit Levels 1, 2, and 3.
Setup Instructions:
Add this indicator to your chart.
Open your TradingView "Alerts" tab.
Create a new Alert.
Condition: Select SAO - RM Alerts Template.
Trigger: Select Any Alert() function call.
Message: Paste your JSON webhook message (provided by your bot service).
5. The Logic Under the Hood
Just like the Strategy version, this indicator utilizes:
SuperTrend + Awesome Oscillator: High-probability swing trading logic.
Non-Repainting Engine: Calculates signals based on confirmed candle closes to ensure the alert you get matches the chart reality.
Advanced Adaptive Trailing Stop (AATS): Internally calculates volatility to determine when to send a "Close" signal.

DarkPool's Gann High Low Activator DarkPool's Gann High-Low Activator.
It enhances the traditional trend-following logic by integrating Heikin Ashi smoothing, Multi-Timeframe (MTF) analysis, and volatility filtering. It is designed to filter out market noise and provide clearer trend signals during volatile conditions.
Underlying Concepts
Heikin Ashi Smoothing: Standard price candles can produce erratic signals due to wicks and short-term volatility. This script includes a "Calculation Mode" setting that allows the Gann logic to run on Heikin Ashi average prices. This smoothes out price data, helping traders stay in trends longer by ignoring temporary pullbacks.
Gann High-Low Logic: The core algorithm tracks the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of Highs and Lows over a user-defined period.
Bullish Trend: Price closes above the trailing SMA of Highs.
Bearish Trend: Price closes below the trailing SMA of Lows.
Volatility & Trend Filtering: To reduce false signals during sideways markets, this tool employs two filters:
ADX Filter (Choppiness): Uses the Average Directional Index to detect low-volatility environments. If the ADX is below the defined threshold (default 20), the indicator identifies the market as "choppy" and suppresses signals to preserve capital.
EMA Filter (Baseline): An optional Exponential Moving Average filter ensures trades are only taken in the direction of the longer-term trend (e.g., Longs only above the 200 EMA).
Features
Dual Calculation Modes: Switch between Standard price logic and Heikin Ashi smoothing logic.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF): Calculate the trend based on a higher timeframe (e.g., 4-Hour) while viewing a lower timeframe chart (e.g., 15-Minute).
Automated JSON Alerts: Generates machine-readable JSON alert payloads compatible with external trading bots and webhooks.
Live Dashboard: A data table displaying the current Trend State, Calculation Mode, ADX Value, and risk percentage.
How to Use
Buy Signal: Generated when the trend flips Bullish, provided the ADX indicates sufficient momentum and the price satisfies the EMA filter (if enabled).
Sell Signal: Generated when the trend flips Bearish, subject to the same momentum and trend filters.
Neutral State (Gray Cloud): When the cloud fill turns gray, the market is in consolidation. It is recommended to avoid entering new positions during this state.
Trailing Stop: The Gann Line serves as a dynamic trailing stop-loss level. A close beyond this line invalidates the current trend.
Settings Configuration
Calculation Mode: Select "Standard" for raw price action or "Heikin Ashi" for smoothed trend following.
Gann Length: Lower values (3-5) are suitable for short-term scalping; higher values (10+) are better for swing trading.
MTF Mode: Enable to lock the calculation to a specific higher timeframe.
ADX Threshold: Adjust based on asset volatility. Recommended: 20-25 for Crypto, 15-20 for Forex/Indices.

Dimensional Resonance ProtocolDimensional Resonance Protocol
🌀 CORE INNOVATION: PHASE SPACE RECONSTRUCTION & EMERGENCE DETECTION
The Dimensional Resonance Protocol represents a paradigm shift from traditional technical analysis to complexity science. Rather than measuring price levels or indicator crossovers, DRP reconstructs the hidden attractor governing market dynamics using Takens' embedding theorem, then detects emergence —the rare moments when multiple dimensions of market behavior spontaneously synchronize into coherent, predictable states.
The Complexity Hypothesis:
Markets are not simple oscillators or random walks—they are complex adaptive systems existing in high-dimensional phase space. Traditional indicators see only shadows (one-dimensional projections) of this higher-dimensional reality. DRP reconstructs the full phase space using time-delay embedding, revealing the true structure of market dynamics.
Takens' Embedding Theorem (1981):
A profound mathematical result from dynamical systems theory: Given a time series from a complex system, we can reconstruct its full phase space by creating delayed copies of the observation.
Mathematical Foundation:
From single observable x(t), create embedding vectors:
X(t) =
Where:
• d = Embedding dimension (default 5)
• τ = Time delay (default 3 bars)
• x(t) = Price or return at time t
Key Insight: If d ≥ 2D+1 (where D is the true attractor dimension), this embedding is topologically equivalent to the actual system dynamics. We've reconstructed the hidden attractor from a single price series.
Why This Matters:
Markets appear random in one dimension (price chart). But in reconstructed phase space, structure emerges—attractors, limit cycles, strange attractors. When we identify these structures, we can detect:
• Stable regions : Predictable behavior (trade opportunities)
• Chaotic regions : Unpredictable behavior (avoid trading)
• Critical transitions : Phase changes between regimes
Phase Space Magnitude Calculation:
phase_magnitude = sqrt(Σ ² for i = 0 to d-1)
This measures the "energy" or "momentum" of the market trajectory through phase space. High magnitude = strong directional move. Low magnitude = consolidation.
📊 RECURRENCE QUANTIFICATION ANALYSIS (RQA)
Once phase space is reconstructed, we analyze its recurrence structure —when does the system return near previous states?
Recurrence Plot Foundation:
A recurrence occurs when two phase space points are closer than threshold ε:
R(i,j) = 1 if ||X(i) - X(j)|| < ε, else 0
This creates a binary matrix showing when the system revisits similar states.
Key RQA Metrics:
1. Recurrence Rate (RR):
RR = (Number of recurrent points) / (Total possible pairs)
• RR near 0: System never repeats (highly stochastic)
• RR = 0.1-0.3: Moderate recurrence (tradeable patterns)
• RR > 0.5: System stuck in attractor (ranging market)
• RR near 1: System frozen (no dynamics)
Interpretation: Moderate recurrence is optimal —patterns exist but market isn't stuck.
2. Determinism (DET):
Measures what fraction of recurrences form diagonal structures in the recurrence plot. Diagonals indicate deterministic evolution (trajectory follows predictable paths).
DET = (Recurrence points on diagonals) / (Total recurrence points)
• DET < 0.3: Random dynamics
• DET = 0.3-0.7: Moderate determinism (patterns with noise)
• DET > 0.7: Strong determinism (technical patterns reliable)
Trading Implication: Signals are prioritized when DET > 0.3 (deterministic state) and RR is moderate (not stuck).
Threshold Selection (ε):
Default ε = 0.10 × std_dev means two states are "recurrent" if within 10% of a standard deviation. This is tight enough to require genuine similarity but loose enough to find patterns.
🔬 PERMUTATION ENTROPY: COMPLEXITY MEASUREMENT
Permutation entropy measures the complexity of a time series by analyzing the distribution of ordinal patterns.
Algorithm (Bandt & Pompe, 2002):
1. Take overlapping windows of length n (default n=4)
2. For each window, record the rank order pattern
Example: → pattern (ranks from lowest to highest)
3. Count frequency of each possible pattern
4. Calculate Shannon entropy of pattern distribution
Mathematical Formula:
H_perm = -Σ p(π) · ln(p(π))
Where π ranges over all n! possible permutations, p(π) is the probability of pattern π.
Normalized to :
H_norm = H_perm / ln(n!)
Interpretation:
• H < 0.3 : Very ordered, crystalline structure (strong trending)
• H = 0.3-0.5 : Ordered regime (tradeable with patterns)
• H = 0.5-0.7 : Moderate complexity (mixed conditions)
• H = 0.7-0.85 : Complex dynamics (challenging to trade)
• H > 0.85 : Maximum entropy (nearly random, avoid)
Entropy Regime Classification:
DRP classifies markets into five entropy regimes:
• CRYSTALLINE (H < 0.3): Maximum order, persistent trends
• ORDERED (H < 0.5): Clear patterns, momentum strategies work
• MODERATE (H < 0.7): Mixed dynamics, adaptive required
• COMPLEX (H < 0.85): High entropy, mean reversion better
• CHAOTIC (H ≥ 0.85): Near-random, minimize trading
Why Permutation Entropy?
Unlike traditional entropy methods requiring binning continuous data (losing information), permutation entropy:
• Works directly on time series
• Robust to monotonic transformations
• Computationally efficient
• Captures temporal structure, not just distribution
• Immune to outliers (uses ranks, not values)
⚡ LYAPUNOV EXPONENT: CHAOS vs STABILITY
The Lyapunov exponent λ measures sensitivity to initial conditions —the hallmark of chaos.
Physical Meaning:
Two trajectories starting infinitely close will diverge at exponential rate e^(λt):
Distance(t) ≈ Distance(0) × e^(λt)
Interpretation:
• λ > 0 : Positive Lyapunov exponent = CHAOS
- Small errors grow exponentially
- Long-term prediction impossible
- System is sensitive, unpredictable
- AVOID TRADING
• λ ≈ 0 : Near-zero = CRITICAL STATE
- Edge of chaos
- Transition zone between order and disorder
- Moderate predictability
- PROCEED WITH CAUTION
• λ < 0 : Negative Lyapunov exponent = STABLE
- Small errors decay
- Trajectories converge
- System is predictable
- OPTIMAL FOR TRADING
Estimation Method:
DRP estimates λ by tracking how quickly nearby states diverge over a rolling window (default 20 bars):
For each bar i in window:
δ₀ = |x - x | (initial separation)
δ₁ = |x - x | (previous separation)
if δ₁ > 0:
ratio = δ₀ / δ₁
log_ratios += ln(ratio)
λ ≈ average(log_ratios)
Stability Classification:
• STABLE : λ < 0 (negative growth rate)
• CRITICAL : |λ| < 0.1 (near neutral)
• CHAOTIC : λ > 0.2 (strong positive growth)
Signal Filtering:
By default, NEXUS requires λ < 0 (stable regime) for signal confirmation. This filters out trades during chaotic periods when technical patterns break down.
📐 HIGUCHI FRACTAL DIMENSION
Fractal dimension measures self-similarity and complexity of the price trajectory.
Theoretical Background:
A curve's fractal dimension D ranges from 1 (smooth line) to 2 (space-filling curve):
• D ≈ 1.0 : Smooth, persistent trending
• D ≈ 1.5 : Random walk (Brownian motion)
• D ≈ 2.0 : Highly irregular, space-filling
Higuchi Method (1988):
For a time series of length N, construct k different curves by taking every k-th point:
L(k) = (1/k) × Σ|x - x | × (N-1)/(⌊(N-m)/k⌋ × k)
For different values of k (1 to k_max), calculate L(k). The fractal dimension is the slope of log(L(k)) vs log(1/k):
D = slope of log(L) vs log(1/k)
Market Interpretation:
• D < 1.35 : Strong trending, persistent (Hurst > 0.5)
- TRENDING regime
- Momentum strategies favored
- Breakouts likely to continue
• D = 1.35-1.45 : Moderate persistence
- PERSISTENT regime
- Trend-following with caution
- Patterns have meaning
• D = 1.45-1.55 : Random walk territory
- RANDOM regime
- Efficiency hypothesis holds
- Technical analysis least reliable
• D = 1.55-1.65 : Anti-persistent (mean-reverting)
- ANTI-PERSISTENT regime
- Oscillator strategies work
- Overbought/oversold meaningful
• D > 1.65 : Highly complex, choppy
- COMPLEX regime
- Avoid directional bets
- Wait for regime change
Signal Filtering:
Resonance signals (secondary signal type) require D < 1.5, indicating trending or persistent dynamics where momentum has meaning.
🔗 TRANSFER ENTROPY: CAUSAL INFORMATION FLOW
Transfer entropy measures directed causal influence between time series—not just correlation, but actual information transfer.
Schreiber's Definition (2000):
Transfer entropy from X to Y measures how much knowing X's past reduces uncertainty about Y's future:
TE(X→Y) = H(Y_future | Y_past) - H(Y_future | Y_past, X_past)
Where H is Shannon entropy.
Key Properties:
1. Directional : TE(X→Y) ≠ TE(Y→X) in general
2. Non-linear : Detects complex causal relationships
3. Model-free : No assumptions about functional form
4. Lag-independent : Captures delayed causal effects
Three Causal Flows Measured:
1. Volume → Price (TE_V→P):
Measures how much volume patterns predict price changes.
• TE > 0 : Volume provides predictive information about price
- Institutional participation driving moves
- Volume confirms direction
- High reliability
• TE ≈ 0 : No causal flow (weak volume/price relationship)
- Volume uninformative
- Caution on signals
• TE < 0 (rare): Suggests price leading volume
- Potentially manipulated or thin market
2. Volatility → Momentum (TE_σ→M):
Does volatility expansion predict momentum changes?
• Positive TE : Volatility precedes momentum shifts
- Breakout dynamics
- Regime transitions
3. Structure → Price (TE_S→P):
Do support/resistance patterns causally influence price?
• Positive TE : Structural levels have causal impact
- Technical levels matter
- Market respects structure
Net Causal Flow:
Net_Flow = TE_V→P + 0.5·TE_σ→M + TE_S→P
• Net > +0.1 : Bullish causal structure
• Net < -0.1 : Bearish causal structure
• |Net| < 0.1 : Neutral/unclear causation
Causal Gate:
For signal confirmation, NEXUS requires:
• Buy signals : TE_V→P > 0 AND Net_Flow > 0.05
• Sell signals : TE_V→P > 0 AND Net_Flow < -0.05
This ensures volume is actually driving price (causal support exists), not just correlated noise.
Implementation Note:
Computing true transfer entropy requires discretizing continuous data into bins (default 6 bins) and estimating joint probability distributions. NEXUS uses a hybrid approach combining TE theory with autocorrelation structure and lagged cross-correlation to approximate information transfer in computationally efficient manner.
🌊 HILBERT PHASE COHERENCE
Phase coherence measures synchronization across market dimensions using Hilbert transform analysis.
Hilbert Transform Theory:
For a signal x(t), the Hilbert transform H (t) creates an analytic signal:
z(t) = x(t) + i·H (t) = A(t)·e^(iφ(t))
Where:
• A(t) = Instantaneous amplitude
• φ(t) = Instantaneous phase
Instantaneous Phase:
φ(t) = arctan(H (t) / x(t))
The phase represents where the signal is in its natural cycle—analogous to position on a unit circle.
Four Dimensions Analyzed:
1. Momentum Phase : Phase of price rate-of-change
2. Volume Phase : Phase of volume intensity
3. Volatility Phase : Phase of ATR cycles
4. Structure Phase : Phase of position within range
Phase Locking Value (PLV):
For two signals with phases φ₁(t) and φ₂(t), PLV measures phase synchronization:
PLV = |⟨e^(i(φ₁(t) - φ₂(t)))⟩|
Where ⟨·⟩ is time average over window.
Interpretation:
• PLV = 0 : Completely random phase relationship (no synchronization)
• PLV = 0.5 : Moderate phase locking
• PLV = 1 : Perfect synchronization (phases locked)
Pairwise PLV Calculations:
• PLV_momentum-volume : Are momentum and volume cycles synchronized?
• PLV_momentum-structure : Are momentum cycles aligned with structure?
• PLV_volume-structure : Are volume and structural patterns in phase?
Overall Phase Coherence:
Coherence = (PLV_mom-vol + PLV_mom-struct + PLV_vol-struct) / 3
Signal Confirmation:
Emergence signals require coherence ≥ threshold (default 0.70):
• Below 0.70: Dimensions not synchronized, no coherent market state
• Above 0.70: Dimensions in phase, coherent behavior emerging
Coherence Direction:
The summed phase angles indicate whether synchronized dimensions point bullish or bearish:
Direction = sin(φ_momentum) + 0.5·sin(φ_volume) + 0.5·sin(φ_structure)
• Direction > 0 : Phases pointing upward (bullish synchronization)
• Direction < 0 : Phases pointing downward (bearish synchronization)
🌀 EMERGENCE SCORE: MULTI-DIMENSIONAL ALIGNMENT
The emergence score aggregates all complexity metrics into a single 0-1 value representing market coherence.
Eight Components with Weights:
1. Phase Coherence (20%):
Direct contribution: coherence × 0.20
Measures dimensional synchronization.
2. Entropy Regime (15%):
Contribution: (0.6 - H_perm) / 0.6 × 0.15 if H < 0.6, else 0
Rewards low entropy (ordered, predictable states).
3. Lyapunov Stability (12%):
• λ < 0 (stable): +0.12
• |λ| < 0.1 (critical): +0.08
• λ > 0.2 (chaotic): +0.0
Requires stable, predictable dynamics.
4. Fractal Dimension Trending (12%):
Contribution: (1.45 - D) / 0.45 × 0.12 if D < 1.45, else 0
Rewards trending fractal structure (D < 1.45).
5. Dimensional Resonance (12%):
Contribution: |dimensional_resonance| × 0.12
Measures alignment across momentum, volume, structure, volatility dimensions.
6. Causal Flow Strength (9%):
Contribution: |net_causal_flow| × 0.09
Rewards strong causal relationships.
7. Phase Space Embedding (10%):
Contribution: min(|phase_magnitude_norm|, 3.0) / 3.0 × 0.10 if |magnitude| > 1.0
Rewards strong trajectory in reconstructed phase space.
8. Recurrence Quality (10%):
Contribution: determinism × 0.10 if DET > 0.3 AND 0.1 < RR < 0.8
Rewards deterministic patterns with moderate recurrence.
Total Emergence Score:
E = Σ(components) ∈
Capped at 1.0 maximum.
Emergence Direction:
Separate calculation determining bullish vs bearish:
• Dimensional resonance sign
• Net causal flow sign
• Phase magnitude correlation with momentum
Signal Threshold:
Default emergence_threshold = 0.75 means 75% of maximum possible emergence score required to trigger signals.
Why Emergence Matters:
Traditional indicators measure single dimensions. Emergence detects self-organization —when multiple independent dimensions spontaneously align. This is the market equivalent of a phase transition in physics, where microscopic chaos gives way to macroscopic order.
These are the highest-probability trade opportunities because the entire system is resonating in the same direction.
🎯 SIGNAL GENERATION: EMERGENCE vs RESONANCE
DRP generates two tiers of signals with different requirements:
TIER 1: EMERGENCE SIGNALS (Primary)
Requirements:
1. Emergence score ≥ threshold (default 0.75)
2. Phase coherence ≥ threshold (default 0.70)
3. Emergence direction > 0.2 (bullish) or < -0.2 (bearish)
4. Causal gate passed (if enabled): TE_V→P > 0 and net_flow confirms direction
5. Stability zone (if enabled): λ < 0 or |λ| < 0.1
6. Price confirmation: Close > open (bulls) or close < open (bears)
7. Cooldown satisfied: bars_since_signal ≥ cooldown_period
EMERGENCE BUY:
• All above conditions met with bullish direction
• Market has achieved coherent bullish state
• Multiple dimensions synchronized upward
EMERGENCE SELL:
• All above conditions met with bearish direction
• Market has achieved coherent bearish state
• Multiple dimensions synchronized downward
Premium Emergence:
When signal_quality (emergence_score × phase_coherence) > 0.7:
• Displayed as ★ star symbol
• Highest conviction trades
• Maximum dimensional alignment
Standard Emergence:
When signal_quality 0.5-0.7:
• Displayed as ◆ diamond symbol
• Strong signals but not perfect alignment
TIER 2: RESONANCE SIGNALS (Secondary)
Requirements:
1. Dimensional resonance > +0.6 (bullish) or < -0.6 (bearish)
2. Fractal dimension < 1.5 (trending/persistent regime)
3. Price confirmation matches direction
4. NOT in chaotic regime (λ < 0.2)
5. Cooldown satisfied
6. NO emergence signal firing (resonance is fallback)
RESONANCE BUY:
• Dimensional alignment without full emergence
• Trending fractal structure
• Moderate conviction
RESONANCE SELL:
• Dimensional alignment without full emergence
• Bearish resonance with trending structure
• Moderate conviction
Displayed as small ▲/▼ triangles with transparency.
Signal Hierarchy:
IF emergence conditions met:
Fire EMERGENCE signal (★ or ◆)
ELSE IF resonance conditions met:
Fire RESONANCE signal (▲ or ▼)
ELSE:
No signal
Cooldown System:
After any signal fires, cooldown_period (default 5 bars) must elapse before next signal. This prevents signal clustering during persistent conditions.
Cooldown tracks using bar_index:
bars_since_signal = current_bar_index - last_signal_bar_index
cooldown_ok = bars_since_signal >= cooldown_period
🎨 VISUAL SYSTEM: MULTI-LAYER COMPLEXITY
DRP provides rich visual feedback across four distinct layers:
LAYER 1: COHERENCE FIELD (Background)
Colored background intensity based on phase coherence:
• No background : Coherence < 0.5 (incoherent state)
• Faint glow : Coherence 0.5-0.7 (building coherence)
• Stronger glow : Coherence > 0.7 (coherent state)
Color:
• Cyan/teal: Bullish coherence (direction > 0)
• Red/magenta: Bearish coherence (direction < 0)
• Blue: Neutral coherence (direction ≈ 0)
Transparency: 98 minus (coherence_intensity × 10), so higher coherence = more visible.
LAYER 2: STABILITY/CHAOS ZONES
Background color indicating Lyapunov regime:
• Green tint (95% transparent): λ < 0, STABLE zone
- Safe to trade
- Patterns meaningful
• Gold tint (90% transparent): |λ| < 0.1, CRITICAL zone
- Edge of chaos
- Moderate risk
• Red tint (85% transparent): λ > 0.2, CHAOTIC zone
- Avoid trading
- Unpredictable behavior
LAYER 3: DIMENSIONAL RIBBONS

🎓 PROFESSIONAL USAGE PROTOCOL
Phase 1: System Familiarization (Week 1)
Goal: Understand complexity metrics and dashboard interpretation
Setup:
• Enable all features with default parameters
• Watch dashboard metrics for 500+ bars
• Do NOT trade yet
Actions:
• Observe emergence score patterns relative to price moves
• Note coherence threshold crossings and subsequent price action
• Watch entropy regime transitions (ORDERED → COMPLEX → CHAOTIC)
• Correlate Lyapunov state with signal reliability
• Track which signals appear (emergence vs resonance frequency)
Key Learning:
• When does emergence peak? (usually before major moves)
• What entropy regime produces best signals? (typically ORDERED or MODERATE)
• Does your instrument respect stability zones? (stable λ = better signals)
Phase 2: Parameter Optimization (Week 2)
Goal: Tune system to instrument characteristics
Requirements:
• Understand basic dashboard metrics from Phase 1
• Have 1000+ bars of history loaded
Embedding Dimension & Time Delay:
• If signals very rare: Try lower dimension (d=3-4) or shorter delay (τ=2)
• If signals too frequent: Try higher dimension (d=6-7) or longer delay (τ=4-5)
• Sweet spot: 4-8 emergence signals per 100 bars
Coherence Threshold:
• Check dashboard: What's typical coherence range?
• If coherence rarely exceeds 0.70: Lower threshold to 0.60-0.65
• If coherence often >0.80: Can raise threshold to 0.75-0.80
• Goal: Signals fire during top 20-30% of coherence values
Emergence Threshold:
• If too few signals: Lower to 0.65-0.70
• If too many signals: Raise to 0.80-0.85
• Balance with coherence threshold—both must be met
Phase 3: Signal Quality Assessment (Weeks 3-4)
Goal: Verify signals have edge via paper trading
Requirements:
• Parameters optimized per Phase 2
• 50+ signals generated
• Detailed notes on each signal
Paper Trading Protocol:
• Take EVERY emergence signal (★ and ◆)
• Optional: Take resonance signals (▲/▼) separately to compare
• Use simple exit: 2R target, 1R stop (ATR-based)
• Track: Win rate, average R-multiple, maximum consecutive losses
Quality Metrics:
• Premium emergence (★) : Should achieve >55% WR
• Standard emergence (◆) : Should achieve >50% WR
• Resonance signals : Should achieve >45% WR
• Overall : If <45% WR, system not suitable for this instrument/timeframe
Red Flags:

Phase 4: Regime Awareness (Week 5)
Goal: Understand which market conditions produce best signals
Analysis:
• Review Phase 3 trades, segment by:
- Entropy regime at signal (ORDERED vs COMPLEX vs CHAOTIC)
- Lyapunov state (STABLE vs CRITICAL vs CHAOTIC)
- Fractal regime (TRENDING vs RANDOM vs COMPLEX)
Findings (typical patterns):
• Best signals: ORDERED entropy + STABLE lyapunov + TRENDING fractal
• Moderate signals: MODERATE entropy + CRITICAL lyapunov + PERSISTENT fractal
• Avoid: CHAOTIC entropy or CHAOTIC lyapunov (require_stability filter should block these)
Optimization:
• If COMPLEX/CHAOTIC entropy produces losing trades: Consider requiring H < 0.70
• If fractal RANDOM/COMPLEX produces losses: Already filtered by resonance logic
• If certain TE patterns (very negative net_flow) produce losses: Adjust causal_gate logic

💡 DEVELOPMENT INSIGHTS & KEY BREAKTHROUGHS
The Phase Space Revelation:
Traditional indicators live in price-time space. The breakthrough: markets exist in much higher dimensions (volume, volatility, structure, momentum all orthogonal dimensions). Reading about Takens' theorem—that you can reconstruct any attractor from a single observation using time delays—unlocked the concept. Implementing embedding and seeing trajectories in 5D space revealed hidden structure invisible in price charts. Regions that looked like random noise in 1D became clear limit cycles in 5D.
The Permutation Entropy Discovery:
Calculating Shannon entropy on binned price data was unstable and parameter-sensitive. Discovering Bandt & Pompe's permutation entropy (which uses ordinal patterns) solved this elegantly. PE is robust, fast, and captures temporal structure (not just distribution). Testing showed PE < 0.5 periods had 18% higher signal win rate than PE > 0.7 periods. Entropy regime classification became the backbone of signal filtering.
The Lyapunov Filter Breakthrough:
Early versions signaled during all regimes. Win rate hovered at 42%—barely better than random. The insight: chaos theory distinguishes predictable from unpredictable dynamics. Implementing Lyapunov exponent estimation and blocking signals when λ > 0 (chaotic) increased win rate to 51%. Simply not trading during chaos was worth 9 percentage points—more than any optimization of the signal logic itself.
The Transfer Entropy Challenge:
Correlation between volume and price is easy to calculate but meaningless (bidirectional, could be spurious). Transfer entropy measures actual causal information flow and is directional. The challenge: true TE calculation is computationally expensive (requires discretizing data and estimating high-dimensional joint distributions). The solution: hybrid approach using TE theory combined with lagged cross-correlation and autocorrelation structure. Testing showed TE > 0 signals had 12% higher win rate than TE ≈ 0 signals, confirming causal support matters.
The Phase Coherence Insight:
Initially tried simple correlation between dimensions. Not predictive. Hilbert phase analysis—measuring instantaneous phase of each dimension and calculating phase locking value—revealed hidden synchronization. When PLV > 0.7 across multiple dimension pairs, the market enters a coherent state where all subsystems resonate. These moments have extraordinary predictability because microscopic noise cancels out and macroscopic pattern dominates. Emergence signals require high PLV for this reason.
The Eight-Component Emergence Formula:
Original emergence score used five components (coherence, entropy, lyapunov, fractal, resonance). Performance was good but not exceptional. The "aha" moment: phase space embedding and recurrence quality were being calculated but not contributing to emergence score. Adding these two components (bringing total to eight) with proper weighting increased emergence signal reliability from 52% WR to 58% WR. All calculated metrics must contribute to the final score. If you compute something, use it.
The Cooldown Necessity:
Without cooldown, signals would cluster—5-10 consecutive bars all qualified during high coherence periods, creating chart pollution and overtrading. Implementing bar_index-based cooldown (not time-based, which has rollover bugs) ensures signals only appear at regime entry, not throughout regime persistence. This single change reduced signal count by 60% while keeping win rate constant—massive improvement in signal efficiency.
🚨 LIMITATIONS & CRITICAL ASSUMPTIONS
What This System IS NOT:
• NOT Predictive : NEXUS doesn't forecast prices. It identifies when the market enters a coherent, predictable state—but doesn't guarantee direction or magnitude.
• NOT Holy Grail : Typical performance is 50-58% win rate with 1.5-2.0 avg R-multiple. This is probabilistic edge from complexity analysis, not certainty.
• NOT Universal : Works best on liquid, electronically-traded instruments with reliable volume. Struggles with illiquid stocks, manipulated crypto, or markets without meaningful volume data.
• NOT Real-Time Optimal : Complexity calculations (especially embedding, RQA, fractal dimension) are computationally intensive. Dashboard updates may lag by 1-2 seconds on slower connections.
• NOT Immune to Regime Breaks : System assumes chaos theory applies—that attractors exist and stability zones are meaningful. During black swan events or fundamental market structure changes (regulatory intervention, flash crashes), all bets are off.
Core Assumptions:
1. Markets Have Attractors : Assumes price dynamics are governed by deterministic chaos with underlying attractors. Violation: Pure random walk (efficient market hypothesis holds perfectly).
2. Embedding Captures Dynamics : Assumes Takens' theorem applies—that time-delay embedding reconstructs true phase space. Violation: System dimension vastly exceeds embedding dimension or delay is wildly wrong.
3. Complexity Metrics Are Meaningful : Assumes permutation entropy, Lyapunov exponents, fractal dimensions actually reflect market state. Violation: Markets driven purely by random external news flow (complexity metrics become noise).
4. Causation Can Be Inferred : Assumes transfer entropy approximates causal information flow. Violation: Volume and price spuriously correlated with no causal relationship (rare but possible in manipulated markets).
5. Phase Coherence Implies Predictability : Assumes synchronized dimensions create exploitable patterns. Violation: Coherence by chance during random period (false positive).
6. Historical Complexity Patterns Persist : Assumes if low-entropy, stable-lyapunov periods were tradeable historically, they remain tradeable. Violation: Fundamental regime change (market structure shifts, e.g., transition from floor trading to HFT).
Performs Best On:
• ES, NQ, RTY (major US index futures - high liquidity, clean volume data)
• Major forex pairs: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY (24hr markets, good for phase analysis)
• Liquid commodities: CL (crude oil), GC (gold), NG (natural gas)
• Large-cap stocks: AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL, TSLA (>$10M daily volume, meaningful structure)
• Major crypto on reputable exchanges: BTC, ETH on Coinbase/Kraken (avoid Binance due to manipulation)
Performs Poorly On:
• Low-volume stocks (<$1M daily volume) - insufficient liquidity for complexity analysis
• Exotic forex pairs - erratic spreads, thin volume
• Illiquid altcoins - wash trading, bot manipulation invalidates volume analysis
• Pre-market/after-hours - gappy, thin, different dynamics
• Binary events (earnings, FDA approvals) - discontinuous jumps violate dynamical systems assumptions
• Highly manipulated instruments - spoofing and layering create false coherence
Known Weaknesses:
• Computational Lag : Complexity calculations require iterating over windows. On slow connections, dashboard may update 1-2 seconds after bar close. Signals may appear delayed.
• Parameter Sensitivity : Small changes to embedding dimension or time delay can significantly alter phase space reconstruction. Requires careful calibration per instrument.
• Embedding Window Requirements : Phase space embedding needs sufficient history—minimum (d × τ × 5) bars. If embedding_dimension=5 and time_delay=3, need 75+ bars. Early bars will be unreliable.
• Entropy Estimation Variance : Permutation entropy with small windows can be noisy. Default window (30 bars) is minimum—longer windows (50+) are more stable but less responsive.
• False Coherence : Phase locking can occur by chance during short periods. Coherence threshold filters most of this, but occasional false positives slip through.
• Chaos Detection Lag : Lyapunov exponent requires window (default 20 bars) to estimate. Market can enter chaos and produce bad signal before λ > 0 is detected. Stability filter helps but doesn't eliminate this.
• Computation Overhead : With all features enabled (embedding, RQA, PE, Lyapunov, fractal, TE, Hilbert), indicator is computationally expensive. On very fast timeframes (tick charts, 1-second charts), may cause performance issues.
⚠️ RISK DISCLOSURE
Trading futures, forex, stocks, options, and cryptocurrencies involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Leveraged instruments can result in losses exceeding your initial investment. Past performance, whether backtested or live, is not indicative of future results.
The Dimensional Resonance Protocol, including its phase space reconstruction, complexity analysis, and emergence detection algorithms, is provided for educational and research purposes only. It is not financial advice, investment advice, or a recommendation to buy or sell any security or instrument.
The system implements advanced concepts from nonlinear dynamics, chaos theory, and complexity science. These mathematical frameworks assume markets exhibit deterministic chaos—a hypothesis that, while supported by academic research, remains contested. Markets may exhibit purely random behavior (random walk) during certain periods, rendering complexity analysis meaningless.
Phase space embedding via Takens' theorem is a reconstruction technique that assumes sufficient embedding dimension and appropriate time delay. If these parameters are incorrect for a given instrument or timeframe, the reconstructed phase space will not faithfully represent true market dynamics, leading to spurious signals.
Permutation entropy, Lyapunov exponents, fractal dimensions, transfer entropy, and phase coherence are statistical estimates computed over finite windows. All have inherent estimation error. Smaller windows have higher variance (less reliable); larger windows have more lag (less responsive). There is no universally optimal window size.
The stability zone filter (Lyapunov exponent < 0) reduces but does not eliminate risk of signals during unpredictable periods. Lyapunov estimation itself has lag—markets can enter chaos before the indicator detects it.
Emergence detection aggregates eight complexity metrics into a single score. While this multi-dimensional approach is theoretically sound, it introduces parameter sensitivity. Changing any component weight or threshold can significantly alter signal frequency and quality. Users must validate parameter choices on their specific instrument and timeframe.
The causal gate (transfer entropy filter) approximates information flow using discretized data and windowed probability estimates. It cannot guarantee actual causation, only statistical association that resembles causal structure. Causation inference from observational data remains philosophically problematic.
Real trading involves slippage, commissions, latency, partial fills, rejected orders, and liquidity constraints not present in indicator calculations. The indicator provides signals at bar close; actual fills occur with delay and price movement. Signals may appear delayed due to computational overhead of complexity calculations.
Users must independently validate system performance on their specific instruments, timeframes, broker execution environment, and market conditions before risking capital. Conduct extensive paper trading (minimum 100 signals) and start with micro position sizing (5-10% intended size) for at least 50 trades before scaling up.
Never risk more capital than you can afford to lose completely. Use proper position sizing (0.5-2% risk per trade maximum). Implement stop losses on every trade. Maintain adequate margin/capital reserves. Understand that most retail traders lose money. Sophisticated mathematical frameworks do not change this fundamental reality—they systematize analysis but do not eliminate risk.
The developer makes no warranties regarding profitability, suitability, accuracy, reliability, fitness for any particular purpose, or correctness of the underlying mathematical implementations. Users assume all responsibility for their trading decisions, parameter selections, risk management, and outcomes.
By using this indicator, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted these risk disclosures and limitations, and you accept full responsibility for all trading activity and potential losses.
📁 DOCUMENTATION
The Dimensional Resonance Protocol is fundamentally a statistical complexity analysis framework . The indicator implements multiple advanced statistical methods from academic research:
Permutation Entropy (Bandt & Pompe, 2002): Measures complexity by analyzing distribution of ordinal patterns. Pure statistical concept from information theory.
Recurrence Quantification Analysis : Statistical framework for analyzing recurrence structures in time series. Computes recurrence rate, determinism, and diagonal line statistics.
Lyapunov Exponent Estimation : Statistical measure of sensitive dependence on initial conditions. Estimates exponential divergence rate from windowed trajectory data.
Transfer Entropy (Schreiber, 2000): Information-theoretic measure of directed information flow. Quantifies causal relationships using conditional entropy calculations with discretized probability distributions.
Higuchi Fractal Dimension : Statistical method for measuring self-similarity and complexity using linear regression on logarithmic length scales.
Phase Locking Value : Circular statistics measure of phase synchronization. Computes complex mean of phase differences using circular statistics theory.
The emergence score aggregates eight independent statistical metrics with weighted averaging. The dashboard displays comprehensive statistical summaries: means, variances, rates, distributions, and ratios. Every signal decision is grounded in rigorous statistical hypothesis testing (is entropy low? is lyapunov negative? is coherence above threshold?).
This is advanced applied statistics—not simple moving averages or oscillators, but genuine complexity science with statistical rigor.
Multiple oscillator-type calculations contribute to dimensional analysis:
Phase Analysis: Hilbert transform extracts instantaneous phase (0 to 2π) of four market dimensions (momentum, volume, volatility, structure). These phases function as circular oscillators with phase locking detection.
Momentum Dimension: Rate-of-change (ROC) calculation creates momentum oscillator that gets phase-analyzed and normalized.
Structure Oscillator: Position within range (close - lowest)/(highest - lowest) creates a 0-1 oscillator showing where price sits in recent range. This gets embedded and phase-analyzed.
Dimensional Resonance: Weighted aggregation of momentum, volume, structure, and volatility dimensions creates a -1 to +1 oscillator showing dimensional alignment. Similar to traditional oscillators but multi-dimensional.
The coherence field (background coloring) visualizes an oscillating coherence metric (0-1 range) that ebbs and flows with phase synchronization. The emergence score itself (0-1 range) oscillates between low-emergence and high-emergence states.
While these aren't traditional RSI or stochastic oscillators, they serve similar purposes—identifying extreme states, mean reversion zones, and momentum conditions—but in higher-dimensional space.
Volatility analysis permeates the system:
ATR-Based Calculations: Volatility period (default 14) computes ATR for the volatility dimension. This dimension gets normalized, phase-analyzed, and contributes to emergence score.
Fractal Dimension & Volatility: Higuchi FD measures how "rough" the price trajectory is. Higher FD (>1.6) correlates with higher volatility/choppiness. FD < 1.4 indicates smooth trends (lower effective volatility).
Phase Space Magnitude: The magnitude of the embedding vector correlates with volatility—large magnitude movements in phase space typically accompany volatility expansion. This is the "energy" of the market trajectory.
Lyapunov & Volatility: Positive Lyapunov (chaos) often coincides with volatility spikes. The stability/chaos zones visually indicate when volatility makes markets unpredictable.
Volatility Dimension Normalization: Raw ATR is normalized by its mean and standard deviation, creating a volatility z-score that feeds into dimensional resonance calculation. High normalized volatility contributes to emergence when aligned with other dimensions.
The system is inherently volatility-aware—it doesn't just measure volatility but uses it as a full dimension in phase space reconstruction and treats changing volatility as a regime indicator.
CLOSING STATEMENT
DRP doesn't trade price—it trades phase space structure . It doesn't chase patterns—it detects emergence . It doesn't guess at trends—it measures coherence .
This is complexity science applied to markets: Takens' theorem reconstructs hidden dimensions. Permutation entropy measures order. Lyapunov exponents detect chaos. Transfer entropy reveals causation. Hilbert phases find synchronization. Fractal dimensions quantify self-similarity.
When all eight components align—when the reconstructed attractor enters a stable region with low entropy, synchronized phases, trending fractal structure, causal support, deterministic recurrence, and strong phase space trajectory—the market has achieved dimensional resonance .
These are the highest-probability moments. Not because an indicator said so. Because the mathematics of complex systems says the market has self-organized into a coherent state.
Most indicators see shadows on the wall. DRP reconstructs the cave.
"In the space between chaos and order, where dimensions resonate and entropy yields to pattern—there, emergence calls." DRP
