Liquidity Levels [LuxAlgo]The Peak Activity Levels indicator displays support and resistance levels from prices accompanied by significant volume. The indicator includes a histogram returning the frequency of closing prices falling between two parallel levels, each bin shows the number of bullish candles within the levels.
1. Settings
Length: Lookback for the detection of volume peaks.
Number Of Levels: Determines the number of levels to display.
Levels Color Mode: Determines how the levels should be colored. "Relative" will color the levels based on their location relative to the current price. "Random" will apply a random color to each level. "Fixed" will use a single color for each level.
Levels Style: Style of the displayed levels. Styles include solid, dashed, and dotted.
1.1 Histogram
Show Histogram: Determines whether to display the histogram or not.
Histogram Window: Lookback period of the histogram calculation.
Bins Colors: Control the color of the histogram bins.
2. Usage
The indicator can be used to display ready-to-use support and resistance. These are constructed from peaks in volume. When a peak occurs, we take the price where this peak occurred and use it as the value for our level.
If one of the levels was previously tested, we can hypothesize that the level might be used as support/resistance in the future. Additional analysis using volume can be done in order to confirm a potential bounce.
The histogram can return various information to the user. It can show if the price stayed within two levels for a long time and if the price within two levels was mostly made of bullish or bearish candles.
In the chart above, we can see that over the most recent 200 bars (determined by Histogram Window) 68 closing prices fall between levels A and B, with 27 bars being bullish.
Additionally, the width of a bin and its length can sometimes give information about the volatility of a specific price variation. If a bin is very wide but short (a low number of closing prices fallen within the levels) then we can conclude a most of the movement was done on a short amount of time.

EBP Auto Fibonacci Drawer 👑 Daily EBP Trading Strategy (Final Refined Summary)
This is a daily price action strategy that combines a specific reversal candle (EBP) with a Fibonacci retracement for a confirmed trend continuation entry.
1. 🕯️ The Signal Candle (EBP Confirmation)
Wait for a single daily candle to close that meets two strict criteria:
Liquidity Sweep: The candle's low must first wick below the low of the preceding day.
Strong Reversal: The candle must then reverse and close above the high of the preceding day (confirming a strong move).
2. 📐 Fibonacci Retracement Setup
The Fibonacci Retracement tool is applied to the newly confirmed EBP Candle to define the retracement and entry zone for the next day.
Drawing the Fib (for a Buy Setup): Draw the Fib from the EBP Candle's Close to the EBP Candle's Low.
3. 🎯 Entry and Risk Management
The trade is executed on the next candle (Day 2) after the price retraces and then reverses, confirmed by a candle close.
Action Retracement & Entry Condition Stop Loss (SL) Placement Target (TP) Placement
Buy (Long) Price retraces into the Fib levels, and then the candle CLOSES above any of the key breakout levels: 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100%. Placed at the Most Recent Swing Low (The lowest point before the EBP candle's move). The EBP Candle's High Wick.
Sell (Short) (Inverse) Price retraces into the Fib levels, and then the candle CLOSES below any of the key breakout levels: 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100%. Placed at the Most Recent Swing High (The highest point before the EBP candle's move). The EBP Candle's Low Wick.
Export to Sheets
Key Takeaways:
Timeframe: Daily candles are used for all signals and entries.
Entry Trigger: A confirmed candle close outside the Fib level is required, not just a wick or price crossing.
Risk Control: The Stop Loss is set at a structural point (the recent swing) for better protection.
Would you like to search for examples of this "Engineered Block Pricing" (EBP) candle pattern on a chart? That clarification makes sense, as placing the Stop Loss (SL) at the recent swing low (or high for a short) is a more conservative and structurally sound location than just the immediate EBP candle's wick.
Here is the final, fully refined summary of the Daily EBP Trading Strategy, incorporating all criteria: the specific signal candle, the Fibonacci retracement levels, the candle close entry trigger, and the recent swing low/high for the stop loss.

Supfabio Break-Return BandsSupfabio Break-Return Bands (B3 & B4 • 3-Candle Confirmation)
Supfabio Break-Return Bands is a volatility-based price action indicator built on top of a Two-Pole smoothing filter combined with ATR-derived dynamic bands.
It is designed to highlight price exhaustion, rejection, and potential reversal zones, with a strong emphasis on structural confirmation rather than immediate breakouts.
Core Concept
The indicator plots four volatility bands (Band 1 to Band 4) above and below a smoothed Two-Pole filter.
Signals are intentionally restricted to the outer bands, where price behavior is statistically more likely to show:
Volatility expansion
Liquidity grabs (stop runs / false breaks)
Strong rejection or mean-reversion behavior
Signal Logic
Band 4 (Primary Extreme Zone)
BUY and SELL signals are generated when:
Initial trigger (first candle)
Price either crosses the Band 4 level or
Touches and rejects the band (wick / pin behavior)
Confirmation on the 3rd candle (t + 2)
The confirmation candle:
Must not touch the same band again
Must close on the correct side of the band
Confirms that the initial break or pin was rejected
This delayed confirmation helps filter false breakouts and impulsive entries.
Band 3 (Secondary Setup)
On Band 3, signals are intentionally more selective:
Pin / rejection only
No direct cross signals
Uses the same 3-candle confirmation logic
This allows Band 3 signals to act as deeper pullback or early exhaustion setups.
Confirmation Mechanism
The script uses an internal state-based logic to:
Track the exact bar where the trigger occurred
Confirm signals only on the correct third candle
Prevent duplicate or consecutive signals from the same setup
Ensure pin-based triggers are not missed
Visual Elements
Main Two-Pole filter plotted as a thick continuous line
Volatility bands plotted with progressive line thickness
Band line styles (dotted / dashed) can be customized manually in the Style tab
Clear BUY and SELL labels plotted directly on the confirmation candle
Optional candle coloring based on filter direction
Alerts & Automation
Built-in alertcondition() for BUY and SELL
Alerts are suitable for webhook automation
Compatible with external systems and trading bots
Intended Use
This indicator is suitable for:
Reversal and exhaustion analysis
Mean-reversion strategies
Liquidity and rejection-based setups
Manual trading or automated execution
Intraday and higher-timeframe analysis
Notes
This script is intended as an analytical tool, not as a standalone trading system.
Signals should be used in combination with market structure, trend context, and proper risk management.
SLO Pro-J-Algo # Smart Liquidity & OTE Analysis Tool
## OVERVIEW
This indicator is designed for traders who utilize institutional trading concepts, specifically liquidity sweeps and optimal trade entry (OTE) zones, combined with session-based market structure analysis. It identifies potential market manipulation points where stop losses are likely clustered, and highlights high-probability entry zones based on Fibonacci retracements.
The tool combines four main analytical components that work synergistically to identify trading opportunities aligned with smart money behavior.
---
## CORE CONCEPTS & METHODOLOGY
### 1. TRADING SESSIONS ANALYSIS
**What it does:**
The indicator tracks three major forex trading sessions with customizable time zones:
- **Asian Session** (Default: 01:00-13:00 UTC+4) - Typically characterized by range-bound price action
- **London Session** (Default: 11:00-20:00 UTC+4) - High volatility period with increased institutional activity
- **New York Session** (Default: 17:00-00:00 UTC+4) - Overlaps with London creating peak liquidity
**How it works:**
- Automatically highlights active sessions with colored background boxes
- Draws session high/low lines which often act as intraday support/resistance
- Identifies session overlaps (e.g., London-NY overlap) where volatility and liquidity are highest
- Color-codes the price bars during overlaps to alert traders to increased opportunity periods
- Displays real-time session status (🟢 Open / 🔴 Closed) for quick reference
**Trading Application:**
Session highs and lows frequently become liquidity targets. The indicator helps traders anticipate when price might sweep these levels before continuing in the original direction. Session overlaps are prime times for major moves as multiple institutional players are active simultaneously.
---
### 2. EXTERNAL LIQUIDITY SWEEPS
**What it does:**
Identifies when price "sweeps" or breaks beyond significant swing highs and lows where stop losses are typically clustered. These sweeps often precede reversals or continuations after liquidity is collected.
**How it works:**
- Scans the previous 20 bars (configurable) to identify swing high and low points
- Marks these levels as "buyside liquidity" (above highs) or "sellside liquidity" (below lows)
- Monitors price action using three detection methods:
* **Wick Break:** Any candle wick extending beyond the liquidity level
* **Close Break:** Candle body closing beyond the level (stronger confirmation)
* **Full Retrace:** Price breaks the level then closes back inside the range (classic liquidity grab)
- Uses an ATR-based buffer to avoid false signals from minor price spikes
- Confirms sweeps only after a configurable number of confirmation bars to reduce repainting
**The Logic Behind It:**
Institutional traders need liquidity to fill large orders. Stop losses clustered above swing highs and below swing lows provide this liquidity. When these levels are swept, it often indicates smart money is entering positions in the opposite direction, causing reversals.
**Visual Representation:**
- Blue horizontal lines mark buyside liquidity zones (above price)
- Gray horizontal lines mark sellside liquidity zones (below price)
- Labels indicate when liquidity has been swept (✓) or remains active
- Historical zones are maintained for context (configurable display limit)
---
### 3. INTERNAL LIQUIDITY DETECTION
**What it does:**
Identifies equal highs (EQH) and equal lows (EQL) within recent price action - levels that have been tested multiple times without breaking. These represent internal liquidity pools that price often revisits before making larger moves.
**How it works:**
- Examines the most recent 8 bars (configurable) for price levels that occur multiple times
- Uses an ATR-based threshold (default 0.1% of ATR) to determine if highs or lows are "equal"
- Requires minimum 3 occurrences (configurable) of the same level to qualify as internal liquidity
- Tracks both the creation and sweeping of these internal levels
- Differentiates between wick breaks and close breaks for sweep confirmation
**The Concept:**
Unlike external liquidity at swing points, internal liquidity represents recent stop clusters and pending orders within the current price structure. Identifying these levels helps traders anticipate short-term price targets and potential reversal points before larger directional moves.
**Why This Matters:**
Price often needs to clear internal liquidity before making sustained moves to external liquidity levels. This creates a "roadmap" of where price is likely to go in sequence, improving trade timing.
**Visual Representation:**
- Cyan lines mark internal buyside liquidity (equal highs)
- Orange lines mark internal sellside liquidity (equal lows)
- Dashed or solid lines based on user preference
- Labels show when internal levels are swept
---
### 4. OPTIMAL TRADE ENTRY (OTE) ZONES
**What it does:**
Calculates and displays Fibonacci retracement zones (0.618-0.786) from recent swing points, representing "discount" or "premium" areas where institutional traders often enter positions after a liquidity sweep or structure break.
**How it works:**
- Identifies swing highs and lows using a 10-bar lookback period (configurable)
- Calculates three key Fibonacci levels:
* **0.618** - The "golden ratio" retracement (most significant)
* **0.705** - Mid-point between 0.618 and 0.786
* **0.786** - Deep retracement level (square root of 0.618)
- Optionally requires a structure break before displaying OTE zones
- Dynamically extends zones as new price action develops
- Tracks whether price has entered the zone (✅) or exited without filling (❌)
- Displays up to 2 most recent zones (configurable) to avoid chart clutter
**The Methodology:**
OTE zones represent areas where price is at a "discount" (for longs) or "premium" (for shorts) relative to the recent swing. After a liquidity sweep or structure break, institutional traders often wait for retracements into these zones before entering, as it offers better risk-to-reward ratios.
**Combining with Liquidity:**
The most powerful setups occur when:
1. External liquidity is swept
2. Price retraces into an OTE zone
3. Internal liquidity is present as a target
This confluence suggests smart money activity and high-probability trade opportunities.
**Visual Representation:**
- Shaded blue zone between 0.618 and 0.786 levels
- Three horizontal lines showing key Fibonacci levels with different colors/styles
- Labels (🎯) indicate bullish or bearish OTE zones
- Entry (✅) and exit (❌) status for each zone
---
## WHY THESE FEATURES WORK TOGETHER
This indicator combines these four components because they represent different stages of institutional trading behavior:
1. **Session Timing** - Identifies WHEN institutional activity is highest
2. **Liquidity Sweeps** - Shows WHERE smart money is collecting liquidity
3. **OTE Zones** - Highlights WHERE institutional entries likely occur after sweeps
4. **Internal Liquidity** - Provides SHORT-TERM targets for profit-taking or add-ons
Rather than using each concept in isolation, this integration creates a complete market structure framework. For example:
- A buyside liquidity sweep during London open →
- Followed by a retrace into a bullish OTE zone →
- With internal sellside liquidity as the initial target
This sequence represents a complete high-probability trade setup aligned with smart money principles.
---
## ANTI-REPAINTING FEATURES
**The Repainting Problem:**
Many indicators that identify patterns on historical data repaint their signals when live trading, showing signals that weren't actually there in real-time. This creates a false sense of accuracy.
**Our Solution:**
- **Confirmation Bars Setting:** Signals only appear after X bars have confirmed the pattern (default: 2 bars)
- **Marked Confirmation:** Labels show "C" when using confirmed signals
- **Trade-off:** More confirmation = less repainting but slightly delayed signals
- **User Control:** Traders can toggle between real-time signals (faster but may repaint) and confirmed signals (delayed but reliable)
---
## KEY CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS

- **ATR Buffer:** Add distance requirements to confirm sweeps (reduces false signals)
- **Equal Level Threshold:** Adjust how close levels must be to qualify as "equal"
- **Confirmation Bars:** Balance between signal speed and reliability
### Alert System
- Session open/close notifications
- Liquidity sweep alerts
- OTE zone entry alerts
- Configurable alert frequency and types
---
## HOW TO USE THIS INDICATOR
### Basic Setup
1. Add the indicator to your chart (works on all timeframes, though 5M-1H recommended for intraday)
2. Enable the features you want to use via Master Controls
3. Adjust colors and transparency to match your chart preferences
4. Configure alert preferences if using notifications
### Trading Workflow
**Step 1: Identify the Session**
- Determine which trading session is active or approaching
- Note session highs/lows as potential liquidity targets
- Be especially alert during session overlaps
**Step 2: Watch for Liquidity Sweeps**
- Monitor external liquidity lines (swing highs/lows)
- When price sweeps liquidity, anticipate a potential reversal
- Stronger sweeps (close breaks + full retraces) are more significant
**Step 3: Wait for OTE Retracement**
- After a sweep, wait for price to retrace into the OTE zone (0.618-0.786)
- Bullish OTE after sellside sweep = potential long
- Bearish OTE after buyside sweep = potential short
**Step 4: Use Internal Liquidity as Targets**
- Look for internal liquidity in the direction of your trade
- These serve as initial profit targets
- External liquidity serves as extended targets
**Step 5: Manage Confirmation Settings**
- For live trading, use confirmed signals (2+ confirmation bars)
- For backtesting or analysis, you may use real-time signals
- Note that confirmed signals appear with "C" marking
### Example Trade Scenarios
**Bullish Setup:**
1. London session opens (increased volume)
2. Price sweeps sellside liquidity below Asian low
3. Price retraces into bullish OTE zone (0.618-0.786 of the sweep move)
4. Target internal buyside liquidity, then external buyside liquidity
**Bearish Setup:**
1. NY session overlap with London (peak liquidity)
2. Price sweeps buyside liquidity above recent high
3. Price retraces into bearish OTE zone
4. Target internal sellside liquidity, then session lows

Liquidity_Detection_Fx_Shepherd [ALLDYN]### Breakdown of the Basic "Fx_Shepherd_Liquidity" Script
#### 1. **Purpose of the Script:**
This basic version of the "Fx_Shepherd_Liquidity" script is designed to help traders detect potential liquidity grabs by analyzing price movements and candle patterns in the market. It works by identifying large price deviations and compares multiple candles to detect liquidity sweeps either to the upside or downside.
#### 2. **How it Works:**
- **User Inputs:**
- `Maru_rate`: This is a user-defined percentage that helps determine how much the price movement of a candle needs to deviate from the candle's range (high - low) to be considered a liquidity grab.
- `Compare`: Another percentage input used to compare the relative size of three candles versus one candle.
- `MA`: This represents the "Big candle period," or the moving average period for big candles.
- `urgent_rate`: This is used to determine urgency by comparing the current candle's range to an SMA of previous candles.
- **Key Calculation Steps:**
- **Candle Deviation (Up and Down):**
- `Up` measures how much the current candle closes above its open (bullish deviation).
- `Down` measures how much the current candle closes below its open (bearish deviation).
- **Average Deviations:**
- `UP_Sum` and `Do_Sum` calculate the SMA of Up and Down deviations, respectively, over the defined period (MA). These averages help detect when a candle deviates significantly from the norm.
- **Urgency Detection:**
- `Check_Up_Urgent` and `Check_Dow_Urgent` are conditions that check if the current candle’s high-low range exceeds the defined urgent rate. This signals whether the price movement is "urgent" or significant.
- **Liquidity Detection:**
- **For Upward Liquidity:**
- The script checks if the candle is bullish (`close > open`) and whether the price deviation (`close - open`) meets or exceeds the user-defined `Maru_rate`.
- The script then compares the size of the previous three candles (`high - low`) with a single candle (`Compare`) to confirm a liquidity grab.
- Finally, it looks for continuous upward candle patterns to confirm the strength of the move.
- **For Downward Liquidity:**
- Similar logic applies, but for bearish candles. It checks whether the candle is bearish (`close < open`) and applies the same size comparisons to detect downward liquidity grabs.
- **Candle Highlighting:**
- If the conditions for a liquidity grab are met (both urgency and size), the script changes the bar color to green for upward liquidity and yellow for downward liquidity. These colored bars visually highlight the candles that meet the liquidity grab conditions.
- The script also colors up to three consecutive candles if they meet the liquidity grab conditions (offset = -1, -2).
#### 3. **Benefits of Using This Script:**
- **Liquidity Grab Detection:**
This script helps detect potential liquidity grabs, which occur when large players in the market push the price in a direction to trigger stop-losses or lure retail traders into a position before reversing the price direction. By detecting these movements, traders can avoid being trapped and potentially take advantage of the upcoming reversal.
- **Simple & Lightweight:**
The script uses basic inputs and calculations to detect liquidity grabs, making it easy to use and understand. It's less complex than the advanced version, which makes it suitable for traders who prefer simplicity or are new to liquidity grab detection.
- **Visual Clarity:**
The script uses color changes (green for upward grabs and yellow for downward grabs) to help traders easily spot potential liquidity grab areas on the chart. These visual cues make it more straightforward to interpret.
#### 4. **When to Use This Basic Version:**
- **Quick Liquidity Detection:** This script is ideal for traders who need a quick way to detect potential liquidity grabs without the complexity of managing dynamic parameters or volume confirmation.
- **Simplified Trading Strategies:** If your trading strategy doesn’t rely heavily on volume or multi-timeframe liquidity grab adjustments, this script can work well for basic setups where price action is the primary indicator.
- **Faster Execution:** Since this version doesn’t require dynamic adjustments or volume confirmation, it executes faster, making it suitable for traders who need lightweight tools to stay on top of fast-moving markets.
### Conclusion:
The basic version of the **Fx_Shepherd_Liquidity** script offers a simplified tool for detecting potential liquidity grabs. Its straightforward design, adjustable Maru rate, and visual bar color changes make it easy to integrate into any trading strategy focused on price action. While it lacks the advanced features of the premium version, it serves as a solid, lightweight solution for traders who prefer simplicity over complexity.
Bitcoin Power Law Global Liqudity Model by G. SantostasiIn recent studies, we've observed a notable correlation between Bitcoin's price and global liquidity metrics. This relationship reveals significant insights into Bitcoin's price movements and offers a new perspective on using macroeconomic indicators to understand and predict Bitcoin's market trends.
Our analysis shows that Bitcoin's price exhibits periodic bubbles, which seem closely associated with oscillations in global liquidity. Notably, the overall price path of Bitcoin appears to be a complex function of global liquidity. This relationship is not as simple as the Bitcoin Power Law in time that can be described with a simple equation, Price ∼ time⁶.
Instead, we have developed a polynomial model to describe this complex relationship between liquidity and Bitcoin price. With a 4-degree polynomial (with 5 different parameters needed to fit the data), we can get a decent fit to the data.
The fit is obtained using 500 data points by polynomial regression. The vector coefficients of the polynomial are obtained such that the sum of squared error between the observations and theoretical polynomial model is minimized.
This model needs to be taken with a grain of salt given the warning by famous mathematician Von Neumann: "With four parameters I can fit an elephant, and with five I can make him wiggle his trunk." discussing a model created by Italian Physicist Fermi. By this he meant that the Fermi simulations relied on too many input parameters, presupposing an overfitting phenomenon.
We can still gain some insights into the relationship between Global Liquidity and the price evolution of Bitcoin using this complex model.
When the price of Bitcoin is plotted against our global liquidity index, we observe a polynomial relationship. This model allows us to see when Bitcoin's price deviates significantly from the predicted value based on global liquidity:
Above the Model: When Bitcoin's price is above the polynomial fit, it indicates a potential lack of sufficient liquidity to support the current price level, suggesting a likely correction.
Below the Model: Conversely, when the price is below the fit, it implies that liquidity might be higher than what is reflected in the price, indicating potential upward movement.
Our global liquidity index comprises several key macroeconomic metrics from major financial institutions worldwide. Here are some of the major components:
RRP (Reverse Repurchase Agreements): This metric indicates the level of liquidity in the financial system through temporary sales of securities with an agreement to repurchase them.
FED (Federal Reserve System): Represents the balance sheet of the US central bank, reflecting its monetary policy actions.
TGA (Treasury General Account): Reflects the US Treasury’s cash balance, impacting the liquidity in the banking system.
PBC (People's Bank of China): Shows the monetary policy actions and liquidity management by China’s central bank.
ECB (European Central Bank): Represents the balance sheet and liquidity management actions of the Eurozone's central bank.
BOJ (Bank of Japan): Reflects Japan's central bank's monetary policy and liquidity measures.
Other Central Banks: Includes metrics from various other central banks like the Bank of England, Bank of Canada, Reserve Bank of Australia, etc.
M2 Money Supply: This includes money supply metrics from various countries like the USA, Europe, China, Japan, and other significant economies.
These components collectively provide a comprehensive view of global liquidity, which is crucial for understanding its impact on Bitcoin's price.
Using the polynomial model and the author's Bitcoin power law model we can create 2 oscillators, one that shows deviations from the trend (normalized to the price to make the peaks more uniform) and the other showing deviations of the polynomial liquidity model from the power law trend.
The oscillators show the difference between the price and the power law model relative to the price, Orange Line. The Blue Line is instead the difference between the Global Liquidity Model of the price and the power law model relative to the model itself. The two oscillators can be overlayed to show their differences and similarities.
Analysis: In addition to similar observations from the discussion above we can see that most Bitcoin bottoms are not directly associated with bottoms in the liquidity model indicating a different mechanism at play that determines Bitcoin bottoms (probably due to miners' capitulation).
Using the new force_overlay function we plot the polynomial liquidity model directly over the Bitcoin price chart while we display the 2 oscillators in a separate panel.

OPTIMAL TRADE ENTRY (OTE) ZONES:
Based on Fibonacci retracement principles used by institutional traders:
Concept:
After a structure break (swing high/low violation), price often retraces to specific Fibonacci levels before continuing. The OTE zone (0.618 to 0.786) represents the optimal entry area.
Bullish OTE Formation:
1. Swing low is formed
2. Structure breaks above previous swing high (bullish structure break)
3. Price retraces into 0.618-0.786 Fibonacci zone
4. Entry signal when price enters and holds in OTE zone
Bearish OTE Formation:
1. Swing high is formed
2. Structure breaks below previous swing low (bearish structure break)
3. Price retraces into 0.618-0.786 Fibonacci zone
4. Entry signal when price enters and holds in OTE zone
Key Fibonacci Levels:
- 0.618 (Golden ratio - primary target)
- 0.705 (Square root of 0.5 - institutional level)
- 0.786 (Square root of 0.618 - deep retracement)
Structure Break Requirement:
- Optional setting to require confirmed structure break
- Prevents premature OTE zone identification
- Ensures proper swing structure is established
Entry/Exit Tracking:
- Green checkmark: Price entered OTE zone validly
- Red X: Price exited OTE zone (stop or target)
- Real-time status monitoring

- Time-based filtering
The indicator identifies potential setups but does not predict future price movements. Success depends on proper application within a complete trading plan including risk management, position sizing, and market context analysis.
───────────────────────────────────────
USAGE DISCLAIMER
───────────────────────────────────────
This tool is for educational and analytical purposes. Trading involves substantial risk of loss. The anti-repainting features provide confirmed signals but do not guarantee profitability. Always conduct independent analysis, use proper risk management, and never risk capital you cannot afford to lose. Past performance does not indicate future results.
Normalized Volume Dynamics [NVD]Concept & Overview
**Normalized Volume Dynamics (NVD)** is a volume analysis indicator designed to reduce time-of-day noise and highlight unusual volume behavior relative to historical conditions.
Most standard volume indicators compare current volume to a rolling average, which can lead to misleading readings during naturally active periods.
**NVD** addresses this by using a time-normalized volume baseline, comparing the current bar’s volume to volume observed at the same intraday bar position across prior sessions, rather than to a generic moving average.
This approach helps distinguish expected activity from statistically abnormal volume.
**Market Suitability**
The time-normalized logic depends on consistent intraday data structure.
**Crypto (24/7 Markets):**
Continuous trading provides consistent intraday alignment, making normalization most reliable.
**Futures:**
Continuous futures contracts with minimal session gaps generally work well.
**Stocks & Forex:**
Session gaps, holidays, and irregular trading hours may introduce minor baseline drift. While the indicator remains functional, continuous markets are preferred for best accuracy.
**How the Indicator Works**
NVD combines three core components:
**1. Time-Normalized Volume Baseline**
Current volume is compared against the average volume of the same intraday bar position over prior sessions.
* Filters out predictable time-based volume patterns
* Highlights volume that exceeds what is historically typical for that point in the session
* Automatically falls back to a smoothed volume average on non-intraday charts or limited history
**2. Efficiency Oscillator (Lower Panel)**
The histogram evaluates the relationship between price movement and volume effort, showing how efficiently price is moving.
Color interpretation:
* **Green Columns:** Buying pressure with high efficiency (Trend is healthy).
* **Red Columns:** Selling pressure with high efficiency.
* **Yellow Columns:** Volume Spike. Abnormal volume detected (2x average) indicating a potential breakout or exhaustion.
* **Grey Columns:** Absorption/Churn. Volume is present but price is not moving significantly. This often happens before a violent move
**3. Informational Flow Signals (Main Chart)**
The indicator can mark candles where unusual volume coincides with price rejection. These markers are informational and require multiple conditions:
* Volume exceeds the selected baseline by a user-defined multiplier
* Price makes a new local high or low but closes back within the candle range, indicating rejection
* Optional Money Flow Index (MFI) filter confirms an overbought or oversold condition
**Dashboard Overview**
An optional dashboard provides a compact summary of the indicator’s internal states for quick reference.
The dashboard displays:
**Trend State (ADX)**
* Uses ADX to classify conditions as **TRENDING** or **RANGING**
* Helps contextualize whether volume behavior is occurring in a directional environment
**Flow Bias**
* Derived from the Efficiency Oscillator and VWAP relationship
* Displays:
**BUYING**
**SELLING**
**ABSORPTION** (low efficiency / churn)
* An arrow indicates whether price is positioned above or below VWAP
**Volume Status**
* Indicates whether current volume qualifies as a high-volume condition relative to the selected baseline
* Matches the logic used for histogram coloring and informational markers
**Multi-Timeframe Support**
* The dashboard can optionally run on a separate timeframe
* Users may choose to sync the histogram with the dashboard timeframe or keep it on the chart timeframe
*Note: The dashboard summarizes internal calculations and does not generate independent trade signals. All values update on confirmed bars.*
**How to Trade: "INFO" Signals**
The chart arrows are labeled **INFO BUY** and **INFO SELL** to emphasize that these are informational warnings of stopping volume, not blind entry signals.
**INFO BUY (Green Arrow):**
* **The Logic:** Sellers pushed price to a low, but massive volume entered to absorb the sell pressure, forcing a close in the upper range. This is a "Bear Trap" or Liquidity Sweep.
* **Usage:** If you are Short, this is a warning to tighten stops. If looking for Longs, wait for price to break the high of the signal candle for confirmation.
**INFO SELL (Red Arrow):**
* **The Logic:** Buyers pushed price to a high, but massive volume entered to block the move, forcing a close in the lower range. This is a "Bull Trap."
* **Usage:** If you are Long, this indicates overhead resistance/supply. If looking for Shorts, wait for price to break the low of the signal candle.
**Features & Settings**
* Time-Normalized or Recent-Average volume calculation modes
* Efficiency histogram with absorption and volume spike detection
* Optional MFI filter for informational signals
* VWAP-based contextual filter
* Dashboard showing trend state, flow bias, and volume status
* Non-repainting alerts triggered on bar close
**Recommended Usage**
* Higher timeframes (5m and above) generally provide clearer structure
* On lower timeframes, increasing the analysis period can help reduce noise
* Designed to be used as a supporting analysis tool, not a standalone system

## WYCKOFF METHOD THEORY
### The Three Fundamental Laws
#### 1. **Law of Supply and Demand**
- Price rises when demand exceeds supply
- Price falls when supply exceeds demand
- The indicator tracks volume vs price movement to identify imbalances
#### 2. **Law of Cause and Effect**
- A period of accumulation (cause) leads to markup (effect)
- A period of distribution (cause) leads to markdown (effect)
- Trading ranges build "cause" for future price movement
#### 3. **Law of Effort vs Result**
- **Effort** = Volume (energy put into the market)
- **Result** = Price movement (spread of the bar)
- High effort with low result = potential reversal
- Low effort with high result = trend weakness
### The Five Phases
#### **ACCUMULATION CYCLE**
**Phase A: Stopping the Downtrend**
- Preliminary Support (PS): First sign of buying
- Selling Climax (SC): Panic selling exhaustion
- Automatic Rally (AR): Bounce from SC
- Secondary Test (ST): Test of SC low on lower volume
**Phase B: Building the Cause**
- Trading range develops
- Supply being absorbed by composite operator
- Multiple tests of support and resistance
- Volume generally decreases
**Phase C: The Test (Spring)**
- False breakdown below support
- Traps late sellers
- Quick reversal on low volume
- Last chance to accumulate before markup
**Phase D: Dominance Emerges**
- Sign of Strength (SOS): Break above resistance
- Last Point of Support (LPS): Pullback opportunity
- Backup (BU): Final consolidation
- Demand clearly exceeds supply
**Phase E: Markup**
- New uptrend established
- Price moves rapidly higher
- Phase E can last months/years
- Original trading range becomes support
#### **DISTRIBUTION CYCLE**
**Phase A: Stopping the Uptrend**
- Preliminary Supply (PSY): First sign of selling
- Buying Climax (BC): Euphoric buying exhaustion
- Automatic Reaction (AR): Sharp selloff from BC
- Secondary Test (ST): Test of BC high on lower volume
**Phase B: Building the Cause**
- Trading range at top
- Demand being absorbed by composite operator
- Multiple tests of support and resistance
**Phase C: The Test (UTAD)**
- Upthrust After Distribution
- False breakout above resistance
- Traps late buyers
- Quick reversal
**Phase D: Dominance Emerges**
- Sign of Weakness (SOW): Break below support
- Last Point of Supply (LPSY): Rally opportunity to exit
- Supply clearly exceeds demand
**Phase E: Markdown**
- New downtrend established
- Price moves rapidly lower
- Original trading range becomes resistance

## TRADING STRATEGY EXAMPLES
### Strategy 1: Accumulation Range Breakout
**Setup:**
1. Identify trading range (blue background in Phase B)
2. Wait for Spring or Test (Phase C)
3. Wait for SOS breakout (Phase D)
**Entry:**
- Option A: Buy on SOS breakout
- Option B: Wait for LPS pullback (better risk/reward)
**Stop Loss:**
- Below the spring low or trading range bottom
**Target:**
- Measure height of trading range (cause)
- Project upward from breakout point (effect)
- Minimum target = range height
**Example:**
```
Trading Range: 100 to 120 (20 point range)
SOS Breakout at: 120
Target: 120 + 20 = 140 minimum
```
### Strategy 2: Distribution Range Breakdown
**Setup:**
1. Identify trading range after uptrend
2. Wait for UTAD (Phase C)
3. Wait for SOW breakdown (Phase D)
**Entry:**
- Option A: Sell on SOW breakdown
- Option B: Wait for LPSY rally (better risk/reward)
**Stop Loss:**
- Above the UTAD high or trading range top
**Target:**
- Measure height of trading range
- Project downward from breakdown point
- Minimum target = range height
### Strategy 3: Spring Trading
**Setup:**
1. Strong downtrend followed by range
2. Price breaks below range bottom
3. Volume is LOW on breakdown
4. Price quickly reverses and closes above support
**Entry:**
- When candle closes above support level
- Or on retest of support
**Stop Loss:**
- Below spring low (usually tight)
**Target:**
- Top of trading range
- Previous swing high
**Risk/Reward:**
- Typically 1:3 or better
### Strategy 4: Smart Money Tracking
**Setup:**
1. Look for 💰 symbols in demand zones
2. Multiple accumulation signals (PS, SC, ST, Test)
3. Volume decreasing during range
**Entry:**
- At next demand zone test
- On SOS breakout
**Confirmation:**
- Background turning green (Phase D/E)
- Table shows "BULLISH" bias
### Strategy 5: VSA Reversal
**Setup:**
1. Strong trend in place
2. Stopping Volume (SV) appears at extreme
3. Followed by No Demand (ND) or No Supply (NS)
**Entry:**
- When trend breaks down/up
- On retest of extreme
**Example (Bullish):**
```
Downtrend → Stopping Volume → No Supply → Up bar
Entry: Buy when price moves above SV bar
```

- Sell on LPSY or SOW
- Stay out during markdown
### Pattern 3: Re-Accumulation
```
Uptrend → Trading Range → Spring → Uptrend continues
```
- Occurs during existing uptrend
- Shorter accumulation period
- Often no clear SC (trend is already up)
- Spring is the key signal
### Pattern 4: Re-Distribution
```
Downtrend → Trading Range → UTAD → Downtrend continues
```
- Occurs during existing downtrend
- Shorter distribution period
- Often no clear BC (trend is already down)
- UTAD is the key signal
### Pattern 5: Failed Breakout
**Bullish Failed Breakout:**
```
Range → Breakdown → Immediate reversal (Spring)
```
- Price breaks support
- Volume is LOW
- Immediate strong reversal
- Very bullish
**Bearish Failed Breakout:**
```
Range → Breakout → Immediate reversal (UTAD)
```
- Price breaks resistance
- Volume may be high initially
- Quick rejection and reversal
- Very bearish
---
## TIMEFRAME RECOMMENDATIONS
### Daily Charts (Most Reliable)
- Best for swing trading
- Clear phases and events
- Less noise
- Recommended for beginners
### 4-Hour Charts
- Good for active swing traders
- Faster signals than daily
- Still reliable
### 1-Hour Charts
- For day traders
- More false signals
- Need to filter carefully
- Use in conjunction with higher timeframe
### 15-Minute / 5-Minute
- Only for experienced traders
- High noise level
- Many false signals
- Use daily chart for context
**Golden Rule:** Always check higher timeframe first!
---
## MULTI-TIMEFRAME ANALYSIS
### Top-Down Approach (Recommended)
1. **Weekly Chart** - Identify major trend and phase
2. **Daily Chart** - Find current accumulation/distribution
3. **4H Chart** - Identify entry timing
4. **Entry Timeframe** - Execute trade
### Example Analysis:
**Weekly:** Phase E Markup (bullish)
**Daily:** Phase B Re-accumulation
**4-Hour:** Spring detected
**Action:** Buy on daily LPS

## TROUBLESHOOTING
### Issue: Too Many Labels
**Solution:**
- Increase swing length (Settings → 7 or 10)
- Increase volume multipliers
- Turn off VSA labels if not needed
- Focus on major events only (SC, Spring, SOS, BC, UTAD, SOW)
### Issue: Missing Expected Events
**Solution:**
- Decrease swing length (Settings → 3)
- Decrease volume multipliers
- Turn OFF volume confirmation
- Check timeframe (use daily chart)
### Issue: False Signals
**Solution:**
- Use higher timeframe
- Wait for confirmation
- Don't trade against major trend
- Look for multiple signal convergence
### Issue: Can't See Background Colors
**Solution:**
- Check "Show Phases" is enabled
- Increase monitor brightness
- Colors are subtle by design (not to obscure price)
### Issue: Volume Shows Incorrectly
**Solution:**
- Ensure volume data is available for your symbol
- Some symbols have poor volume data
- Forex spot pairs have no real volume
- Use futures or stock markets for best results
### Issue: No Trading Range Detected
**Solution:**
- Market may be trending strongly
- Trading range might be too small
- Wait for price to consolidate
- Not all markets have clear ranges
---
## ADVANCED TIPS
### 1. Count Point & Figure Charts
- Wyckoff used P&F to measure "cause"
- Width of range × height = minimum move target
- Longer accumulation = larger markup
### 2. Watch for Absorption
- High volume + narrow spread = someone absorbing
- In downtrend = accumulation
- In uptrend = distribution
### 3. Multiple Timeframe Springs
- Spring on daily + spring on weekly = very strong
- Increases probability significantly
### 4. Failed Signals Are Signals Too
- Failed spring = weakness, expect lower
- Failed UTAD = strength, expect higher
### 5. Context is King
- Don't buy during Phase E Markdown
- Don't sell during Phase E Markup
- Respect the major trend
### 6. Volume Precedes Price
- Study volume changes first
- Price follows volume
- Decreasing volume in range = building energy
### 7. Composite Operator Mindset
- Think like institutions
- Where would smart money buy/sell?
- They need liquidity (retail traders)
---
## RISK MANAGEMENT
### Position Sizing
**Conservative:**
- Risk 1% per trade
- Wider stops at range boundaries
**Moderate:**
- Risk 1-2% per trade
- Stops below spring/above UTAD
**Aggressive:**
- Risk 2-3% per trade
- Tight stops
- Higher win rate needed
### Stop Loss Placement
**Accumulation:**
- Below spring low
- Below trading range bottom
- Below demand zone
**Distribution:**
- Above UTAD high
- Above trading range top
- Above supply zone
### Take Profit Strategy
**Method 1: Measured Move**
- Range height = minimum target
- 2x range height = extended target
**Method 2: Fibonacci Extensions**
- 1.0 = range height
- 1.618 = extended target
- 2.618 = maximum target
**Method 3: Trail the Stop**
- Move stop to breakeven at 1R
- Trail under swing lows in markup
- Lock in profits progressively
---

## COMPOSITE OPERATOR PSYCHOLOGY
### What Smart Money Does (Follow Them)
**Accumulation:**
```
1. Create fear (PS, SC)
2. Shake out weak hands (Spring)
3. Absorb supply quietly (Phase B)
4. Test for remaining supply (Test)
5. Mark it up (SOS → Phase E)
💰 They buy LOW when retail panics
```
**Distribution:**
```
1. Create euphoria (PSY, BC)
2. Trap late buyers (UTAD)
3. Distribute to buyers (Phase B)
4. Test for remaining demand (ST)
5. Mark it down (SOW → Phase E)
💰 They sell HIGH when retail buys
```
### Where to Look for Smart Money
```
💰 Buy signals appear at:
- Demand zones (green boxes)
- Springs and shakeouts
- Tests of support
- After selling climax
💰 Sell signals appear at:
- Supply zones (red boxes)
- UTAD and upthrusts
- Weak rallies (LPSY)
- After buying climax
```

## PRACTICE EXERCISES
### Exercise 1: Identify the Phase
Look at any chart and ask:
1. Is there a trading range? (Phase B likely)
2. Did we just stop a trend? (Phase A)
3. Was there a spring/UTAD? (Phase C)
4. Is there a breakout? (Phase D)
5. Is trend running? (Phase E)
### Exercise 2: Volume Analysis
For each bar, note:
- Volume level (High/Normal/Low)
- Spread (Wide/Normal/Narrow)
- Effort vs Result (Matching? Diverging?)
### Exercise 3: Find Historical Springs
Go back 6 months:
- Mark all springs you can find
- Note the setup before each
- Track what happened after
- Calculate win rate

VWAP Market FlowVWAP Flow Model
VWAP Flow Model is a VWAP-anchored market context indicator designed to help traders understand how price is behaving relative to fair value.
It evaluates the interaction between price, VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price), volatility, and momentum to classify prevailing market conditions such as trend continuation, expansion, mean reversion, and momentum decay.
Rather than issuing trade signals, the indicator focuses on identifying market state and execution quality.
Core framework:
-Adaptive VWAP with slope-based colouring
-VWAP acts as the central fair-value reference.
The VWAP line dynamically changes colour based on its slope:
-Rising VWAP → bullish pressure
-Falling VWAP → bearish pressure
-Flattening VWAP → balance, compression, or rotation
This allows traders to quickly assess directional bias and determine whether price movement is supported by underlying flow or occurring in a lower-quality environment.
Signal labels:
The indicator annotates key behavioural transitions to support visual interpretation of market state:
-IGN (Ignition) — Momentum expansion emerging from compression or balance, often marking the start of a directional move.
-CON (Continuation) — Price sustaining directional behaviour in alignment with VWAP slope.
-REV (Reversion) — Mean-reversion behaviour as price returns toward VWAP after extension.
-EXH (Exhaustion) — Loss of momentum or absorption after an extended move, often preceding rotation or regime change.
-MON (Displacement) — High-energy expansion bars indicating strong participation and structural shift.
These labels describe market behaviour, not trade instructions, and should be interpreted within the broader VWAP context.
Market behaviour classification:
The model continuously evaluates how price interacts with VWAP to determine whether the market is:
-directional and trending
-rotating around fair value
-accelerating away from value (expansion)
-losing momentum or showing signs of exhaustion
Classifications are derived from price displacement, volatility conditions, and momentum quality, rather than simple crossovers.
Filtering and control logic:
-Trend / Volatility Filter
Conditions market-state classification on the prevailing volatility and structural regime, helping prevent unstable or low-quality environments from producing misleading context shifts.
-Cooldown Filter
Enforces a minimum number of bars between classification updates to reduce rapid state-flipping in choppy conditions and keep context stable.
-Minimum Bars Between Signals
Controls the strictness of the cooldown logic.
Lower values increase responsiveness; higher values favour cleaner, more stable context changes.
-Tape Dominance Requirement (IGN)
Optional confirmation that requires directional signed-volume pressure to align with price behaviour before ignition-style classifications are allowed, helping distinguish genuine impulsive moves from weak or mechanically driven spikes.
-Tape Dominance Lookback
Defines the evaluation window used by the tape dominance filter.
Shorter lookbacks react faster; longer lookbacks require sustained participation.
Sensitivity and session controls:
Sensitivity modes adjust how responsive the model is to changing conditions:
-Aggressive — faster, more reactive (lower timeframes)
-Balanced — default intraday calibration
-Sniper — stricter thresholds, fewer but higher-quality classifications
Optional session filters allow the model to operate only during selected trading sessions, helping traders focus on higher-liquidity periods and avoid low-efficiency hours.
How to use it:
VWAP Flow Model is used as a context and confirmation layer, not a signal generator:
-Trade in the direction of VWAP slope during directional phases
-Expect mean reversion when price extends far from VWAP in balanced conditions
-Treat strong acceleration away from VWAP as expansion rather than chop
-Use flattening VWAP as an early warning of rotation or momentum loss
It integrates naturally with price action, structure-based analysis, and volume-aware workflows.
Indicator scope:
VWAP Flow Model provides objective market context and behavioural classification.
It does not generate direct trade signals and is designed to support discretionary decision-making.
Important notes:
Market classifications are probabilistic, not guarantees
Past behaviour does not imply future results
This indicator is a decision-support tool, not an automated trading system
Absorption BubblesSUMMARY
This indicator visualizes absorption events by plotting bubbles on candle wicks where volume activity suggests one side of the market is absorbing the other’s pressure. Instead of raw volume, the script normalizes activity against a rolling standard deviation defined by the Lookback Period. Bubbles appear on upper or lower wicks depending on whether buyers or sellers are absorbing pressure. The goal is to highlight whether aggressive orders are being accepted or absorbed at key price points.
METHODOLOGY
Absorption occurs when one side of the market absorbs aggressive orders from the other, preventing continuation. The script measures normalized volume against a user‑defined threshold to filter out weaker signals.
Green bubbles on upper wicks → Selling absorption (buyers push price up, sellers absorb the buying).
Red bubbles on lower wicks → Buying absorption (sellers push price down, buyers absorb the selling).
Red‑colored bars highlight candles where large volume is concentrated inside the body, signifying aggressive selling activity.
Green‑colored bars highlight candles where large volume is concentrated inside the body, signifying aggressive buying activity.
The Lookback Period controls how many bars are used to calculate the rolling standard deviation of volume, letting traders adjust sensitivity to recent vs. longer‑term activity. Optional significant volume lines extend forward, marking areas where absorption was strongest.
FUNCTIONS
Normalized volume detection using rolling standard deviation
Adjustable Lookback Period for volume normalization
Dynamic bubble plotting on candle wicks (size scales with absorption strength)
Separate visualization for buying vs. selling absorption
Alerts for buying absorption, selling absorption, or any absorption event (only at bar close)
Bar coloring when large absorption occurs inside candle bodies
APPLICATION
Setup: Add the script to any chart and timeframe. Adjust the Absorption Threshold to filter out weaker bubbles and the Lookback Period to control how volume normalization is calculated. Red bubbles highlight buying absorption, often signalling potential price pivots - price can often go upwards from this. Green bubbles mark selling absorption, reflecting resistance to upward moves - price may go downwards from this.
Interpretation:
Green bubbles on upper wicks = sellers absorbing buying pressure.
Red bubbles on lower wicks = buyers absorbing selling pressure.
Larger bubbles = stronger absorption relative to recent volume.
Settings & Use:
Raising the Absorption Threshold filters out smaller bubbles, leaving only significant absorption events.
Changing the Lookback Period alters how “normal” volume is defined — shorter periods make the script more sensitive, longer periods smooth out noise.
Alerts can be set for buying absorption, selling absorption, or any absorption event, and they only trigger at bar close to avoid noise.
FVG pointsFVGs ( fair value gaps) are imbalances that indicate displacement and are useful for reversal strategies that require displacement after a liquidity sweep
This indicator shows the size of the gap in points/dollars which can help determine momentum and strength in reversals, as does a failure or inversion (iFVG) of these gap if they fail to act as support or resistance to price. As stops are often placed on the other side of a fair value gap from entry, the indicator helps give traders an idea of stop loss size for calculating position size.
Fvg gaps below a certain points size can be considered to be weaker, larger gaps show stronger momentum. The indicator allows a minimum point size to be set so that FVGs below this minimum value will be shown without a points value.
Points value is also shown for inverted FVGs (iFVGs) by a change in colour and length of box.
By default, multiple gaps are combined together and the point value of the gap is shown, this can be toggled off in the settings to show the values of the individual gaps.
Settings:
Lookback - how many candles to look for FVGs and iFVGs
Change length of the FVG box
Change settings to decide the minimum size of gap to label
colours of boxes and labels
Option to show individual gaps or combined gaps
GARCH Volume Volatility [MarkitTick]Title: GARCH Volume Volatility
Description
Overview
The GARCH Volume Volatility (GV) indicator is a sophisticated quantitative tool designed to analyze the rate of change in market participation. While the vast majority of technical indicators focus on Price Volatility (how much price moves), this script focuses on Volume Volatility (how unstable the participation is).
Market volume is rarely distributed evenly; it tends to cluster. Periods of high activity are often followed by more high activity, and periods of calm tend to persist. This behavior is known as "heteroskedasticity." This script utilizes an Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) model—a core component of Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) frameworks—to model these changing variance regimes.
By isolating volume volatility from raw volume data, this tool helps traders distinguish between sustainable liquidity flows and erratic, unsustainable volume shocks that often precede market reversals or breakouts.
Methodology and Calculations
1. Logarithmic vs. Percentage Returns
The foundation of this indicator is the calculation of "Volume Returns"—the period-over-period change in volume.
- The script defaults to Logarithmic Returns. In financial statistics, log returns are preferred because they normalize data that can vary wildly in magnitude (such as cryptocurrency volume spikes), providing a more symmetric view of changes.
- Users can opt for standard percentage changes if they prefer a linear approach.
2. Variance Proxy (Squared Returns)
To measure volatility, the direction of the volume change (up or down) matters less than the magnitude. The script squares the returns to create a "Variance Proxy." This ensures that a massive drop in volume is treated with the same statistical weight as a massive spike in volume—both represent a significant change in the volatility of participation.
3. GARCH-Style Smoothing (EWMA)
Standard Moving Averages (SMA) treat all data points in the lookback period equally. However, volatility is dynamic. This script uses an EWMA model with a tunable "Lambda" (Decay Factor).
- The Recursive Formula: The current calculation relies on a weighted average of the current variance and the previous period's smoothed variance.
- Memory Effect: This allows the indicator to "remember" recent volatility shocks while gradually letting their influence fade. This mimics the GARCH process of conditional variance.
4. Dynamic Statistical Thresholds
The final output is the Volatility (square root of variance). To make this data actionable, the script calculates a dynamic upper and lower limit based on the standard deviation (Z-Score) of the volatility itself over a user-defined lookback period.
How to Use
The indicator plots a histogram that categorizes the market into four distinct volatility regimes:
1. High Volatility (Red Histogram)
Trigger: Volatility > High Band (Upper Standard Deviation).
Interpretation: This signals an extreme anomaly in volume stability. This is not just "high volume," but "erratic volume behavior." This often occurs at:
- Capitulation bottoms (panic selling).
- Euphoric tops (blow-off tops).
- Major news events or earnings releases.
2. Elevated Volatility (Maroon Histogram)
Trigger: Volatility > Mean Average.
Interpretation: The market is in an active state. Participation is changing rapidly, but within statistically normal bounds. This is common during healthy, trending moves where new participants are entering the market steadily.
3. Normal/Low Volatility (Green Histogram)
Trigger: Volatility is within the lower bands.
Interpretation: The market volume is stable. There are no sudden shocks in participation. This is typical of consolidation phases or "creeping" trends where the price drifts without significant volume conviction.
4. Extremely Low Volatility (Bright Green/Transparent)
Trigger: Volatility < Low Band.
Interpretation: The "calm before the storm." When volume volatility collapses to near-zero, it implies that the market has reached a state of equilibrium or disinterest. Historically, volatility is cyclical; periods of extreme compression often lead to violent expansion.
Settings and Configuration
Core Settings
- Use EWMA: When checked (Default), uses the recursive GARCH-style calculation. If unchecked, it reverts to a simple SMA of variance, which is less sensitive to recent shocks but more stable.
- Log Returns: Uses natural log for calculations. Highly recommended for assets with exponential growth or large volume ranges.
- Length: The baseline period for the calculation.
- Threshold Lookback: The number of bars used to calculate the Mean and Standard Deviation bands.
- EWMA Lambda: The decay factor (0.0 to 1.0). A value of 0.94 is standard for risk metrics.
-- Higher Lambda (e.g., 0.98): The indicator reacts slower and is smoother (long memory).
-- Lower Lambda (e.g., 0.80): The indicator reacts very fast to new data (short memory).
Visuals
- Show Thresholds: Toggles the visibility of the statistical bands on the chart.
- High Band (StdDev): The multiplier for the upper warning zone. Default is 1.5 deviations. Increasing this to 2.0 or 3.0 will filter for only the most extreme events.
Disclaimer This tool is for educational and technical analysis purposes only. Breakouts can fail (fake-outs), and past geometric patterns do not guarantee future price action. Always manage risk and use this tool in conjunction with other forms of analysis.
KIMATIX LITE AbsorptionThis indicator highlights absorption intensity directly on the chart using numeric sigma values only.
It is a deliberately reduced, signal-agnostic visualization designed to expose where significant absorption occurs, without adding levels, lines, or trade logic.
What you see
Numeric sigma values on candles
Each number represents the strength of absorption measured in standard deviations (σ).
Color-coded context
Green numbers below price → sell-side absorption
Red numbers above price → buy-side absorption
Only values that exceed the Minimum Sigma threshold are displayed.
No lines, zones, triangles, or alerts are shown — only the raw absorption magnitude.
How it works (LITE Version)
Absorption is derived from volume relative to candle structure
Values are normalized and filtered using:
A fixed statistical lookback
Wick dominance rules to avoid noise
Only statistically significant events (σ ≥ threshold) are visualized
All other calculations run silently in the background.
Intended use
This Lite version is meant to:
Identify areas of aggressive participation or defense
Spot potential absorption during trends or ranges
Provide context for liquidity, exhaustion, or hidden interest
It is not a trading system and does not generate entries or exits.
Use it as a contextual layer alongside your own execution logic.
The full version is distributed separately.

⚠️ COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID
❌ MISTAKE 1: Trading against all VWAPs
→ If price < Daily, Weekly, Monthly VWAP → DON'T buy
→ Wait for confluence or trend change
❌ MISTAKE 2: Ignoring sessions
→ NY VWAP at 8am has NO validity
→ Respect session start/end times
❌ MISTAKE 3: Over-trading VWAP touches
→ Every VWAP touch is NOT a signal
→ Wait for confluence + volume + pattern
❌ MISTAKE 4: Wrong time configuration
→ Check your timezone
→ Adjust hours according to your location
❌ MISTAKE 5: Neglecting volume
→ VWAP crossover without volume is WEAK
→ Volume > average = more reliable signal
❌ MISTAKE 6: Forgetting HTF context
→ Always check higher timeframe
→ Daily chart for intraday, Weekly for swing
❌ MISTAKE 7: Too tight stop loss
→ Place stop BEYOND ±3σ band
→ Give position room to breathe
❌ MISTAKE 8: Using only VWAP
→ COMBINE with: RSI, Volume Profile, Support/Resistance
→ VWAP is a tool, not a complete strategy

EGX30 Advance/Decline Line🇪🇬 EGX30 Advance/Decline & Market Breadth Suite
This comprehensive indicator provides a deep dive into the market breadth of the EGX30 index, allowing traders and analysts to monitor underlying buying and selling pressure across its constituents. It offers five distinct metrics for a holistic view of market health, ranging from traditional Advance/Decline analysis to advanced McClellan Oscillators and TRIN (Arms Index) readings.
Key Features and Metrics
The indicator is selectable via the 'Select Metric' input and can display the following on your chart:
1. Advance/Decline Line: A cumulative measure of the difference between the number of advancing stocks and declining stocks (Advancing Stocks−Declining Stocks). It helps confirm the market's trend strength.
2. McClellan Oscillator: Calculated using the Advance/Decline Ratio (AD Ratio) smoothed by two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). It acts as a momentum measure of the A/D Line, highlighting potential overbought/oversold conditions and trend turns.
Climax Levels: Horizontal lines are plotted at +0.1 (Buy Climax) and −0.1 (Sell Climax).
3. Arms Index (TRIN): A volume-based indicator that measures the ratio of the Advance/Decline Ratio to the Advancing Volume/Declining Volume Ratio. A value above 1.0 is generally bearish (more volume in declining stocks), while a value below 1.0 is bullish.
Bands: Upper and Lower deviation bands are calculated and plotted for advanced analysis of extremes.
4. Total Volume: The raw, aggregated volume of all EGX30 constituent stocks.
5. Total Liquidity (Total Traded Value): The sum of (Price × Volume) for all EGX30 constituent stocks, giving a more accurate representation of capital flow.
⚙️ Customizable & Smart Configuration
The indicator is designed for maximum flexibility and accuracy across different chart timeframes:
Automatic Timeframe Configuration: When enabled (default), the script automatically selects optimized lookback periods for the Moving Average (MA), McClellan EMAs, and TRIN Lookback based on whether the chart is Intraday, Daily, Weekly, or other.
Manual Overrides: Disable the auto-configuration to manually set the MA Length, McClellan Fast/Slow EMAs, and TRIN Lookback/StdDev Multiplier for custom analysis.
📊 Advanced Data Table (Market Breakdown)
When the 'Show Table' input is toggled ON, a detailed statistics table appears on the chart's top-right corner, providing real-time market insights.
Top Performance (Contributors): Ranks and displays the Top N (customizable) stocks that are contributing the most to the index's movement, calculated as Weight × Percentage Change.
Top Liquidity: Ranks and displays the Top N stocks by their current-bar traded value (Price×Volume), expressed as a percentage of the Total Traded Value.
Horizontal Stats (Row 3): Provides a comprehensive summary of the current market state:
Adv, Decl, Unch: Count of advancing, declining, and unchanged stocks.
Net Adv: The difference between advancing and declining stocks.
Net Vol / Net Liq: Net Volume/Liquidity as a percentage of Total Volume/Liquidity.
Primary Metric/Volume Stats: Depending on the selected metric, it displays the current value of TRIN or the raw Total Volume and Total Liquidity.
This tool is indispensable for traders needing a clear, quantified understanding of the EGX30's underlying market dynamics.
EGX30 Advance/Decline v1.1

CandelaCharts - Unicorn Model📝 Overview
The Unicorn Model is an advanced indicator that pinpoints high-probability reversal setups based on the ICT Unicorn formation. It uses a zigzag-based structure to detect engineered liquidity grabs followed by sharp displacements in the opposite direction—ideal for fade entries or the start of new trends.
The indicator is enhanced with macro time filters, allowing it to align model detections with key trading sessions and institutional flow windows.
The ICT Unicorn Model is a precision-driven intraday strategy rooted in smart money concepts. It combines time-of-day sensitivity, engineered liquidity runs, and institutional order flow to uncover high-quality trading opportunities.
📦 Features
Liquidity Levels: Projects forward-looking liquidity zones after a Unicorn model is confirmed, highlighting potential price targets. These zones act as magnet areas where price is likely to be drawn, helping traders manage exits, partials, and re-entries with greater precision.
Unicorn: The Unicorn formation utilizes a smart money framework and a dynamic zigzag detection method to identify engineered liquidity grabs—sharp sweeps of previous highs or lows—followed by impulsive reversals.
Macros: These time-based intervals represent key moments when institutional algorithms are most active, seeking liquidity, rebalancing, or delivering price to key levels like fair value gaps and liquidity pools.
Custom TF Pairing: Choose your preferred combination of entry timeframe and context timeframe. For example, trade 5m setups within a 1h HTF bias, allowing precise alignment of microstructure with broader directional intent.
HTF & LTF PD Arrays: Displays high- and low-timeframe PD Arrays (e.g., Fair Value Gaps, Inversion Fair Value Gaps) that act as zones of interest or rejection, enhancing confluence and risk control.
History: Backtest previous Unicorn setups directly on the chart. Toggle historical models to analyze past behavior, improve your confidence, and fine-tune your trade execution across varying market regimes.
Killzone Filter: Restrict signal generation to specific trading sessions or killzones (e.g., London Open, New York AM). This minimizes false positives in low-volume or overlapping ranges.
Standard Deviation: Dynamically calculates and plots four deviation bands from the model confirmation point. These levels offer insight into stretch targets, volatility bands, and potential mean-reversion zones.
Dashboard: A real-time control panel showing the active model, HTF candle timer, current directional bias, asset name, and session date—offering clarity and fast decision-making at a glance.

One such remarkable tool that has gained significant traction amongst traders is an advanced support and resistance (S/R) and liquidity indicator. This powerful indicator offers a plethora of customizable options and unique features, enabling traders to efficiently mark up their charts and identify crucial market levels without the need to spend countless hours on manual analysis.
In this comprehensive breakdown, we will delve into the key features and functionalities of this advanced indicator and demonstrate how traders can leverage it to optimize their trading strategies and achieve better results in the market. While we will not be revealing the source code, we will provide an in-depth explanation of how the indicator performs and the various ways in which it can be used by traders.
Section 1: Support and Resistance Zones - The Backbone of Your Technical Analysis
1.1 Automated Chart Marking:
The primary advantage of this advanced indicator is its ability to automatically identify and mark up key support and resistance levels on a chart. Gone are the days when traders had to painstakingly analyze charts and manually mark crucial levels. This indicator saves traders valuable time and ensures a more accurate depiction of S/R zones, ultimately facilitating better-informed trading decisions.
1.2 Round Number Detection:
Another notable feature of this indicator is its ability to detect and highlight psychological levels or round numbers. As these levels often act as significant areas of support or resistance, having them automatically marked on the chart allows traders to concentrate on developing and executing their trading strategies without getting bogged down in the minutiae of identifying these levels.
1.3 Customizable Timeframes:
Recognizing the diverse needs of traders, this advanced indicator offers the flexibility to adjust the user input options and adapt the S/R zones to any timeframe. This functionality allows traders to tailor the indicator to their preferred trading style, whether they are scalping on lower timeframes or taking longer-term positions on higher timeframes.
1.4 Adjustable Pip Difference:
The option to increase or decrease the pip difference between the levels is a game-changer, as it allows traders to easily fine-tune the S/R zones to match the specific behavior of the market across various timeframes. With just a few clicks, traders can increase the pip difference on higher timeframes for a broader perspective, or decrease it on lower timeframes for a more granular view of the market.
1.5 Comprehensive Customization Options:
The advanced S/R indicator boasts a complete range of customizable options, ensuring that traders can tailor it to their unique needs and preferences. With the ability to solely rely on this indicator for marking up their charts, traders can streamline their technical analysis and focus on developing robust trading strategies.
1.6 Anticipating Trades with Limit and Stop Orders:
One of the many ways traders can leverage the S/R zones identified by this indicator is by placing limit and stop orders at these levels. This proactive approach enables traders to be prepared for potential market moves and take advantage of opportunities as they arise, rather than scrambling to react to unexpected price action.
1.7 Identifying Swing Points and Market Trends:
The customizable S/R zones also facilitate the identification of swing points, allowing traders to easily determine the trend direction or recognize ranging markets. This enhanced understanding of market structure can inform trading decisions and improve the overall effectiveness of a trader's strategy.

Key levels + Session Range (Sweep-Aware Levels)Overview
This indicator provides a single, clean view of two core intraday contexts that day traders rely on:
Daily Liquidity Levels: prior day high/low (PDH/PDL), prior day open/close, weekly highs/lows, and other commonly referenced reference points.
Session Ranges: clearly plotted high/low for each active session (e.g., Asia, London, New York), tracked live as the session evolves.
By unifying these two information layers, traders can immediately see when price is sweeping a session’s extremes into known daily liquidity—a frequent precursor to reversals or continuation moves. This saves chart space, reduces cognitive overload, and turns two separate checks into one coherent read.
What it does
Plots daily liquidity references: previous day high/low, previous day open/close, and optional higher-timeframe levels (open, high, mid and low 4H ,Day, Week, month, year and quarterly).
Tracks session high/low live: as each session unfolds, the indicator updates that session’s running High and Low, then locks them at session end.
Maps interaction between the two layers: you can instantly spot session sweeps that tag PDH/PDL (or weekly extremes), highlight potential liquidity grabs, and frame risk with objective boundaries.
Keeps the chart clean: just essential lines/zones and concise labels—no extra clutter.
Why it’s useful & original
Single-purpose integration: Rather than a generic mashup, this is a purpose-built fusion where session dynamics are read in the context of daily liquidity. That relationship is the core edge—seeing when a session sweep aligns with known liquidity pools.
Workflow efficiency: One overlay replaces two indicators, simplifying visibility and reducing conflicting visuals.
Decision clarity: The combination highlights setups many intraday traders already watch manually (e.g., NY session high sweep into PDH), but makes them obvious in real time.
How it works (plain-English logic)
Daily Liquidity Engine
At the start of each day, the indicator records PDH, PDL, prior open/close and (optionally) prior week high/low.
These levels are plotted and extended across the session as static references.
Session Range Tracker
For each defined session (e.g., Asia/London/New York), the script initializes session High/Low at session open.
Throughout the session, it updates those extremes in real time and locks them on session close.
Interaction Layer
When price reaches or sweeps a session High/Low near a daily level (e.g., within your chosen tolerance), the confluence becomes visually obvious.
Traders can then decide whether it’s a likely liquidity grab (fade/reversal idea) or a continuation through the pool (breakout idea), per their plan.
How to use it
Identify session context: Start by noting where price is trading relative to the current session’s High/Low.
Locate nearby daily liquidity: Check distance to PDH/PDL, prior open/close, and weekly extremes.
Look for confluence:
Sweep-and-fade idea: Session High swept into PDH (or Session Low into PDL) with failure to hold → potential reversal context.
Break-and-go idea: Strong close through PDH/PDL following a session extreme break → potential continuation context.
Risk framing: Session High/Low and PDH/PDL provide objective anchors for stops and targets. Adapt to your own risk model (e.g., use ATR or structure-based stops).
Keep it clean: Use this as your primary overlay to avoid clutter; add confirmations (volume, structure) only if they genuinely help your process.
Settings (typical options)
Sessions: Choose which sessions to display (e.g., Asia/London/NY) and their time zones/hours.
Daily Levels: Toggle PDH/PDL, prior open/close, prior week High/Low, and other references you rely on.
Visuals: Colors, line styles, label visibility, and optional band shading for quick recognition.
Confluence Tolerance (optional): Define how near a session extreme must be to a daily level to consider it a “liquidity touch/sweep” in your visuals.
Alerts (optional): First touch/sweep of session High/Low, break/close beyond PDH/PDL, or custom distance conditions.
Chart & Publishing Notes (for reviewers and users)
Clean chart by design: Only essential lines/labels for session extremes and daily references.
Plain-English description: Explains what, why, and how so non-coders can use it confidently.
Original integration: The value here is the purposeful interaction—seeing session sweeps in context of daily liquidity in one place—rather than a cosmetic mashup.
Limitations & good practice
This tool is contextual, not predictive. It highlights structure and liquidity landmarks; trade decisions are yours.
Session definitions vary by asset/exchange; ensure your session times match your market.
Past behavior at these levels does not guarantee future outcomes; always use proper risk management.

XAUMO MegaBar VSA by Mohamed Mahmoud XAUMO MegaBar VSA — Smart Money Breakout & Reversal Engine for XAUUSD
(Educational Use Only)
1) WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES
XAUMO MegaBar VSA is an institutional-style smart money engine for XAUUSD designed to show you what professional money is doing, not just where price is moving.
It combines:
- MegaBar detection on 1H and 15m
- VSA (Volume Spread Analysis) events
- VPOC / WVPOC and volume clusters
- Liquidity sweeps, CHoCH, order blocks, FVGs
- Full Fibonacci leg mapping (retracements + extensions)
- Pre-built execution ladders (Entry, SL, TP1–TP4, Reverse Fib trades)
All in one dashboard with:
- Color-coded candles
- Clean, ATR-offset labels
- Optional tables and debug panels
So traders can quickly decide:
“Is this move driven by smart money, or is it just noise?”
2) CORE MODULES & FEATURES
A) SESSION + ACCUMULATION / DISTRIBUTION CONTEXT
- Session filter: London, New York, Overlap, or custom.
- Accumulation / distribution zones shaded on chart with adjustable colors/opacity.
- Quick legend so you always know if the market is in “smart money accumulation” or “distribution”.
HOW TRADERS USE IT:
Focus only on your trading session and instantly see if volume is building (accumulation), unloading (distribution), or flat. This helps you avoid trading in dead liquidity.
--------------------------------------------------
B) MEGABAR ENGINE + FIB MAP
- Automatically detects “MegaBars” (institutional candles) on 15m and 1H.
- Uses body size, range, and volume to pick only meaningful bars.
- Builds a full Fibonacci map from each active MegaBar:
• Retracements: 0, 13, 23.6, 38.2, 50, 61.8, 78.6, 86.2, 100, and -33.
• Extensions: 125% up to 600%+ (configurable ladder).
- Per-level style controls:
• Color, width, line style (solid/dotted/dashed).
• Optional price labels with ATR-based offsets.
- Main Fib legend that explains shallow / normal / deep reload zones.
HOW TRADERS USE IT:
You stop guessing where to buy or sell. You trade around the institutional leg:
- Buy dips into defined reload zones after bullish MegaBars.
- Sell rallies into extension zones after bearish MegaBars.
- Use clean, pre-mapped structure for both scalps and swings.
--------------------------------------------------
C) VSA ENGINE + CANDLE LABELING
- Detects a full set of VSA events such as:
• No Demand / No Supply
• Stopping Volume
• Absorption
• Springs / Upthrusts
• Buying Climax / Selling Climax
• Bullish / Bearish EVR
• Tests and confirmed VSA signals at S/R
- Enhances with:
• Body vs total range analysis
• Wick dominance for exhaustion vs aggression
• Momentum and volume confirmation filters
HOW TRADERS USE IT:
Each label becomes a “comment” from smart money on the chart:
- “No Demand” near resistance + weak RVOL = skip long entries.
- “Stopping Volume” + spring at Fib reload zone + VPOC cluster = potential high-quality long.
- Combine VSA with the MegaBar Fib map and volume profile for structured decisions.
--------------------------------------------------
D) SUPERSONIC BREAKOUT ENGINE
- Calculates a breakout strength score using:
• RVOL and volume expansion
• Spread expansion vs recent bars
• Body quality (body vs range)
• Bar progress (how much of the candle’s time has elapsed)
- Differentiates:
• Potential vs confirmed breakouts
• Strong, volume-backed moves vs weak spikes
- Optional debug label explaining:
• Momentum score
• Volume ratio and RVOL
• Spread behaviour
• Body quality
• Bar elapsed %
HOW TRADERS USE IT:
You avoid chasing every big candle.
You only act when:
- Breakout strength is high,
- Volume confirms the move,
- Structure (Fib / VPOC / CHoCH) is aligned.
--------------------------------------------------
E) VPOC / WVPOC CLUSTERS & DYNAMIC ZONES
- Tracks real-time VPOC and WVPOC.
- Identifies VPOC/WVPOC clusters as powerful S/R zones.
- Confirms bullish or bearish breaks when price clears these levels with volume.
- Provides dynamic SL and TP logic:
• SL near/behind VPOC with ATR buffer.
• TP ladders aligned with volume structure.
HOW TRADERS USE IT:
You anchor your risk to where the most volume traded, not random price points:
- Use VPOC as a rational stop placement.
- Treat VPOC/WVPOC clusters as “coiled springs” – zones where large moves often start.
--------------------------------------------------
F) SMART MONEY ENTRY ENGINE (1H + 15M MEGABARS)
- Uses MTF `request.security` logic to bring 1H MegaBars into lower timeframes.
- Identifies:
• 1H + 15m confluence entries (A-grade setups).
• Single-TF entries (B-grade setups).
- Pre-calculates for each scenario:
• Entry level (Fib-based within the MegaBar range).
• Stop loss (beyond range or leg-based).
• TP1–TP4 along Fib extensions / structure.
- Labels show:
• “Entry = …”
• “SL = …”
• “TP1 = … / TP2 = … / TP3 = … / TP4 = …”
with adjustable font size and ATR-based offsets.
- Optional “show only latest” mode to keep your chart clean.
- Alert-ready so you can receive notifications when conditions are met.
HOW TRADERS USE IT:
You get a fully defined execution ladder:
- The engine tells you where a logical entry is,
- Where a logical SL should be,
- And how to scale out with multiple targets.
You can use:
- Confluence setups for main trades,
- Single-TF setups for more frequent but lower conviction trades.
--------------------------------------------------
G) REVERSE FIB TRADING MODULE
- Triggers after extended moves when key TPs are hit.
- Looks for:
• Rejection candles at or beyond major extensions.
• Exhaustion + VSA confirmation.
- Builds a reverse (counter-trend) Fib plan:
• Counter-trend entry from extension extremes.
• TP ladder based on 0.618, 0.786, 1.236, 1.382, 1.5, 1.618, 2.0, etc.
• SL and TSL based on ATR and Fib distance.
- ATR timeframe adapts to chart timeframe.
HOW TRADERS USE IT:
You can fade overextended moves once structure and P/A agree:
- Trend traders can use it to tighten or exit.
- Counter-trend traders can structure “fade” setups with defined risk.
--------------------------------------------------
H) LIQUIDITY SWEEPS, CHoCH, ORDER BLOCKS, FVGs
- Detects sweeps above highs and below lows (liquidity grabs).
- Marks CHoCH (Change of Character) when structure flips with volume.
- Basic smart money order block detection (bullish / bearish).
- FVGs (Fair Value Gaps) shaded on chart, removed when filled.
HOW TRADERS USE IT:
Combine sweeps + CHoCH + MegaBar + VSA + VPOC:
- Join clean, volume-backed continuations.
- Fade obvious stop hunts when they reject into strong zones.
--------------------------------------------------
I) VSA + BREAKOUT DASHBOARD TABLE (OPTIONAL)
- Compact table with:
• VSA context
• Breakout score
• RVOL / volume status
• Spread and candle quality
• ATR regime
• Close position within the bar
• VPOC and elapsed bar percentage
HOW TRADERS USE IT:
Before pressing the button, glance at the table:
- Is volatility supportive?
- Is volume confirming?
- Is this a clean breakout or a tired move?
This pushes you toward rule-based execution and away from impulse.
--------------------------------------------------
3) TYPICAL TRADING WORKFLOW WITH XAUMO MEGABAR VSA
A) Pick timeframe and session
- Use 15m or 1H on XAUUSD.
- Align the indicator’s session inputs with your actual trading hours.
B) Read context first
- Check accumulation / distribution zones.
- Look at VSA events and the breakout engine.
- Note where VPOC / WVPOC are relative to price.
C) Find the active MegaBar and its Fib structure
- Identify the most recent bull/bear MegaBar.
- See if price is:
• Pulling back into reload zones,
• Breaking out of them,
• Or extending into high-risk zones.
D) Wait for smart money confirmation
- Look for:
• Confluence setups (1H + 15m MegaBars),
• Strong breakout score,
• Valid VSA signals,
• Helpful structure: CHoCH, FVG, sweeps.
E) Execute using the printed ladders
- Use the on-chart Entry / SL / TP labels as your execution framework.
- Adjust lot size and risk % according to your own plan.
F) Manage and exit
- Use ATR / VPOC logic to trail or lock profits.
- Rotate to reverse Fib setups if extensions look exhausted.

XAUMO MegaBar VSA — محرّك البريك آوت و الريفرسال بتاع السمارت ماني للدهب
( استخدام تعليمي بس)
1) المؤشّر ده بيعمل إيه؟
XAUMO MegaBar VSA معمول مخصوص للـ XAUUSD عشان يورّيك "الفلوس الكبيرة" بتتحرك إزاي،
مش بس السِعر رايح فين.
بيجمع في حتّة واحدة:
- رصد MegaBar على الساعة والربع ساعة
- VSA (Volume Spread Analysis) – سلوك الفوليوم جوّه الشمعة
- VPOC / WVPOC و تجمّعات الفوليوم المهمّة
- سويپس لليكويديتي + CHoCH + Order Blocks + FVGs
- خريطة فيبوناتشي كاملة (Retrace + Extensions)
- سلالم تنفيذ جاهزة (Entry, SL, TP1–TP4 + صفقات Reverse Fib)
وكل ده:
- بألوان واضحة على الشموع
- لِيبلات متظبّطة بـ ATR Offset
- Tables و Panels اختيارية
عشان المتداول يسأل نفسه:
"الحركة دي بتاعة سمارت ماني؟ ولا مجرد دوشة ملوش لازمة؟"
2) أهم الموديولات اللي جوّه المؤشّر
A) الكونتكست بتاع السيشن + تجميع/توزيع
- فلتر جلسات: لندن – نيو يورك – overlap – أو وقت تحطّه انت.
- مناطق Accumulation / Distribution متظلّلة بألوان أنت بتختارها.
- لچند بسيط يوضّح لك السوق دلوقتي: تجميع؟ توزيع؟ ولا نايم.
المتداول يستخدمه إزاي؟
تركّز بس في الجلسة اللي انت شغّال فيها، وتشوف فورًا:
فيه بناء مراكز؟ فيه تصريف؟ ولا مفيش فوليوم أصلاً؟
ده يقلّل دخولك في أوقات السوق فيها “ميت”.
--------------------------------------------
B) محرّك الـ MegaBar + خريطة الفيبوناتشي
- المؤشّر يلقط لوحده الـ MegaBars (شموع مؤسّسات) على 15m و 1h.
- بيعتمد على: حجم الجسم، مدى الشمعة، الفوليوم.
- يرسم خريطة فيبوناتشي كاملة من الرجل الأساسية:
• Retrace: 0, 13, 23.6, 38.2, 50, 61.8, 78.6, 86.2, 100, -33
• Extensions: من 125% لحد 600%+ (سلم قابل للتعديل)
- لكل مستوى:
• لون / سماكة / ستايل (سوليد – دوتيد – داشد)
• ليبل سِعر مع Offset بـ ATR
- لچند يشرح لك Reload Zones: ضحلة / عادية / عميقة.
المتداول يستخدمه إزاي؟
بدل ما “تخمّن” فين تشتري وتبيع:
- تشتري الدِپ جوّه مناطق Reload بعد MegaBar صاعد.
- تبيع الريبوند جوّه Extensions بعد MegaBar هابط.
- عندك هيكل واضح للسوينج والسكالب من غير فوضى.
--------------------------------------------
C) VSA + لِيبلات على الشموع
- يكتشف أحداث VSA زي:
• No Demand / No Supply
• Stopping Volume
• Absorption
• Spring / Upthrust
• Buying / Selling Climax
• EVR (شموع مجنونة فوليومًا)
• Tests و Confirmed Signals عند الدعوم/المقاومات
- مع تحسينات:
• تحليل Body vs Range
• مين اللي غالب؟ جسم الشمعة ولا الذيول؟
• فلتر Momentum + Volume
المتداول يستخدمه إزاي؟
كل ليبل على الشمعة = كومنت من السمارت ماني:
- No Demand عند مقاومة + RVOL ضعيف → بلاش تشتري.
- Stopping Volume + Spring جوّه Reload Zone + VPOC → فرصة قوية للشراء.
- توصل بين VSA + Fib + VPOC فتفهم “مين بيكسب المعركة”.
--------------------------------------------
D) محرّك البريك آوت Supersonic
- بيحسب Score للقوة بتاعة البريك آوت من:
• RVOL + Volume Expansion
• توسّع السبريد مقارنة بالشموع السابقة
• جودة جسم الشمعة (جسم ولا ذيل)
• نسبة الوقت اللي عدّى من الشمعة الحالية
- يفرّق بين:
• بريك آوت محتمل vs مؤكد
• حركة قوية مدعومة بفوليوم vs “شمعة شو”
- يقدر يطلع ليبل Debug يشرح:
• Momentum Score
• Volume Ratio / RVOL
• Spread Behaviour
• Body Quality
• % الوقت اللي فات من عمر الشمعة
المتداول يستخدمه إزاي؟
ماتجريش ورا كل شمعة كبيرة:
- استنَى لما يكون الـ Score عالي،
- والفوليوم مصدّق الحركة،
- والهيكل (Fib / VPOC / CHoCH) موافق.
ساعتها بس البريك آوت يستاهل المخاطرة.
--------------------------------------------
E) VPOC / WVPOC + مناطق الفوليوم
- يرقب VPOC و WVPOC في الوقت الحقيقي.
- يحدّد Clusters مهمة تتحوّل لـ Support / Resistance محترم.
- يراقب كسر المناطق دي بفوليوم واضح (بداية موجة جديدة).
- SL و TP ديناميك:
• SL حوالين VPOC مع Buffer من ATR.
• TP متوزع على مستويات فيبوناتشي و زونات فوليوم.
المتداول يستخدمه إزاي؟
بتربط مخاطرتك بأين اشتغل الفوليوم التقيل:
- VPOC = منطق منطقي للستوب.
- Clusters = زون ضغط ينفع يبدأ منها ترند قوي.
--------------------------------------------
F) محرّك الدخول بتاع السمارت ماني (1h + 15m MegaBars)
- يجيب MegaBars بتاعة الساعة جوّه فريمات أقل بالـ `request.security`.
- يميّز:
• Confluence بين MegaBar الساعة + MegaBar الربع ساعة (صفقة A-Grade).
• MegaBar على فريم واحد بس (B-Grade).
- يجهّز تلقائيًا:
• Entry
• SL
• TP1–TP4 على Extensions و مستويات هيكلية.
- اللّيبلات تكتب:
• Entry = …
• SL = …
• TP1 = … / TP2 = … / TP3 = … / TP4 = …
مع تحكّم في حجم الخط و ATR Offset.
- فيه اختيار “أظهر آخر سيناريو بس” عشان الشارت يفضل نضيف.
- جاهز للـ Alerts لما الشروط تكمّل.
المتداول يستخدمه إزاي؟
يبقى عندك Execution Ladder كامل:
- فين تدخل،
- فين تحط الستوب،
- إزاي تقسم الخروج على أكتر من هدف.
--------------------------------------------
G) موديل الـ Reverse Fib (صفقات عكس الاتجاه)
- بيشتغل بعد ما السعر يبالغ في الحركة و يوصل Extensions معيّنة.
- يدور على:
• شموع رفض عند/بعد Extensions.
• Exhaustion + إشارة VSA.
- يرسم خطة عكسية:
• Entry عكسي من Extension Extreme.
• TP سلم مبني على 0.618, 0.786, 1.236, 1.382, 1.5, 1.618, 2.0, … إلخ
• SL و TSL مبنيين على ATR و مسافة الفيبوناتشي.
المتداول يستخدمه إزاي؟
لو انت ترند تريدر:
- تستخدمه عشان تقفل/تخفف عند تمدّد مبالغ فيه.
لو انت Counter-Trend:
- يديك سيناريو “فِيد” منطقي بمخاطرة محسوبة.
--------------------------------------------
H) سويپس لليكويديتي + CHoCH + Order Blocks + FVGs
- يوسم مناطق ضرب الستوبات فوق الهاي وتحت اللو (Liquidity Grabs).
- يحدد CHoCH لما الاتجاه يغيّر شخصيته مع فوليوم.
- يرصد Order Blocks أساسية (Bullish / Bearish).
- يظلّل الـ FVGs و يشيلها لما تتعبّى.
المتداول يستخدمه إزاي؟
تجمع بين:
MegaBar + VSA + Fib + VPOC + Liquidity:
- يا إمّا تلحق موجة نظيفة،
- يا إمّا تفِيد Stop Hunt غبي اتكشف على الشارت.
--------------------------------------------
I) داشبورد VSA + Breakout (Table اختياري)
- Table صغيرة فيها:
• حالة VSA
• قوة البريك آوت
• RVOL / Volume
• Spread & Candle Quality
• حالة ATR
• مكان الإغلاق جوّه الشمعة
• وضع VPOC
• نسبة الوقت اللي عدّى من الشمعة
المتداول يستخدمه إزاي؟
قبل ما تدوس Buy / Sell:
- تبص على التابل ثانيتين:
الدنيا شغّالة ولا لأ؟
فيه فوليوم؟ فيه ترند؟ ولا حركة ميتة؟
ده يقلل قرارات “من غير plan”.
3) سيناريو شغل متداول على XAUMO MegaBar VSA
1) اختار الفريم + الجلسة
- 15m أو 1h على XAUUSD.
- ظبّط سيشن لندن/نيويورك زي وقت شغلك الحقيقي.
2) اقرأ الكونتكست
- السوق بيبنِي مراكز؟ بيصفّي؟ ولا نايم؟
- إيه إشارات الـ VSA و Score البريك آوت؟
- فين VPOC / WVPOC من السعر؟
3) دور على MegaBar النشط و خريطة الفيبوناتشي بتاعته
- السعر:
• بيرجّع جوّه Reload Zone؟
• بيكسر البرنچ؟
• ولا داخل على Overextension؟
4) استنَى تأكيد السمارت ماني
- Confluence بين MegaBar الساعة والربع ساعة.
- Breakout Score محترم.
- VSA منطقي (No Demand, Stopping Volume, Spring, …).
- Structure: CHoCH / FVG / Liquidity Sweep في اتجاه الصفقة.
5) نفّذ باستخدام السلم المطبوع على الشارت
- استخدم Entry / SL / TP1–TP4 كـ هيكل أساسي.
- عدّل اللوت / الريسك حسب خطتك انت.
6) الإدارة والخروج
- استعمل ATR + VPOC في Trailing/Lock.
- لما Extensions تبان مبالغ فيها → ركّز على Reverse Fib.
4) المؤشّر ده مناسب لمين؟
- اللي بيتاجر دهب XAUUSD (CFD أو Spot) على 15m و 1h.
- اللي بيحب شغل مؤسّسات: Volume, VPOC, SMC, Fib مش مؤشرات بسيطة.
- اللي عايز Execution Plan جاهز (Entry/SL/TP) بس لسه عنده حريّة تعديل.
- اللي عايز يتعلّم VSA و Smart Money Concepts بشكل تطبيقي على شارت واحد.
5) إخلاء مسؤولية كامل (مهم تقراه)
- المؤشّر ده وكل الكلام اللي حواليه للتعليم بس.
- مش:
• نصيحة استثمارية،
• ولا توصية شراء/بيع،
• ولا خدمة إدارة محافظ،
• ولا سيجنال سيرڤس.
- التداول في الأسواق (خصوصًا المشتقات، الـ CFD، الفيوتشر) فيه مخاطرة عالية جدًا،
وممكن تخسر جزء كبير أو كل رأس مالك.
- أي أداء سابق، باك تست، أو مثال افتراضي → مش ضمان لنتيجة مستقبلية.
- أي نسبة احتمالات، Scores، أو “Quality” بيطلعها المؤشّر:
• دي حسابات كود، مش ضمان ربح،
• مش وعد ولا تعهّد بأي نتيجة.
- انت المسؤول 100% عن:
• حجم العقود اللي بتدخلها،
• الرافعة اللي بتستخدمها،
• أماكن الدخول والخروج،
• وإدارة المخاطرة بتاعتك،
• والتزامك بالقوانين والضرائب في بلدك.
- قبل ما تستخدم المؤشّر على حساب حقيقي:
• جرّب كويس على باك تست و فورورد تست،
• اشتغل فترة على Demo،
• لو محتاج نصيحة مالية شخصية → ارجع لمستشار مالي مرخَّص.
باختصار:
XAUMO MegaBar VSA ده أداة تعليمية وتحليلية قوية تساعدك تفهم حركة الذهب،
مش زرار “اطبع فلوس”.
انت صاحب القرار، وانت صاحب المسؤولية، وانت اللي بتتحمّل أي ربح أو خسارة.
SOFR Spread (proxy: FEDFUNDS - US03MY)📊 SOFR Spread (Proxy: FEDFUNDS - US03MY) – Monitoring USD Money Market Liquidity
In 2008, the spread exhibits a sharp vertical spike, signaling a severe liquidity dislocation: investors rushed into short-term U.S. Treasuries, pushing their yields down dramatically, while the FEDFUNDS rate remained relatively high.
This behavior indicates extreme systemic stress in the interbank lending market, preceding massive Federal Reserve interventions such as rate cuts, emergency liquidity operations, and the launch of quantitative easing (QE).
Description:
This indicator plots the spread between the Effective Federal Funds Rate (FEDFUNDS) and the 3-Month US Treasury Bill yield (US03MY), used here as a proxy for the SOFR spread.
It serves as a simple yet powerful tool to detect liquidity dislocations and stress signals in the US short-term funding markets.
Interpretation:
🔴 Spread > 0.20% → Possible liquidity stress: elevated repo rates, cash shortage, interbank distrust.
🟡 Spread ≈ 0% → Normal market conditions, balanced liquidity.
🟢 Spread < 0% → Excess liquidity: strong demand for T-Bills, “flight to safety”, or distortion due to expansionary monetary policy.
Ideal for:
Monitoring Fed policy impact
Anticipating market-wide liquidity squeezes
Correlation with DXY, SPX, VIX, MOVE Index, and risk sentiment
🧠 Note: As SOFR is not directly available on TradingView, FEDFUNDS is used as a reliable proxy, closely tracking the same trends in most macro conditions.
VWAP Flow ParmezanThe "Official Bank Flow VWAP" is a comprehensive trading suite designed for institutional Forex traders.
This indicator solves the problem of chart clutter by combining two critical components of liquidity: Price (Value) and Time (Sessions). It is specifically optimized for EUR/USD and GBP/USD on intraday timeframes (M5, M15), helping you identify high-probability setups where "Fair Value" meets "Volatility."
Key Features
1. Multi-Timeframe VWAP Hierarchy Unlike standard indicators, this tool visualizes the interaction between three distinct timeframes:
Daily VWAP (Dynamic Color): Your primary trend filter. Green when Bullish (Price > VWAP), Red when Bearish (Price < VWAP).
Weekly VWAP (Orange Dots): Represents the medium-term balance. Acts as a magnet for mean reversion mid-week.
Monthly VWAP (Purple Line): The institutional "line in the sand." Major support/resistance level.
2. Standard Deviation Bands (Market Balance) The indicator plots SD1 and SD2 bands around the Daily VWAP:
Inner Zone (SD1): Represents the "Fair Value" area.
Outer Bands (SD2): Represents overbought/oversold conditions. Useful for identifying mean reversion plays back to the center.
3. Official Exchange Sessions (Time) Forget confusing "killzones." This tool highlights the Official Open times for major exchanges, adjusted for Daylight Savings via New York time:
London Open (08:00 LDN): The start of European volume.
New York Open (08:00 NY): The injection of US liquidity.
London Close/Fix: The daily overlap close, often marking trend reversals.
Note: Sessions are visualized with non-intrusive black "shadow" backgrounds to keep your chart clean.
4. "Ghost" Levels (Previous VWAP) A unique feature that plots the closing VWAP level of the previous day. Institutional algorithms often target these "untested" levels as Take Profit targets or liquidity pools.
How to Use
Trend Following: If Price is above the Daily VWAP (Green) during the London Open, look for Long entries targeting the SD1/SD2 upper bands.
Mean Reversion: If Price hits the SD2 Band while far away from the Weekly VWAP, look for a reversal back to the mean.
Confluence: The strongest signals occur when price touches a key VWAP level (e.g., Weekly VWAP) specifically during the highlighted Session Start times.
