Heikin Ashi Overlay SuiteHeikin Ashi Overlay Suite is designed to give traders more control and clarity when working with Heikin Ashi candles — whether you're analyzing trend strength, reducing chart noise, or simply improving your visual read of market momentum. It works by layering multiple types of HA overlays and color systems on top of your standard candlestick chart — without switching chart types. With dynamic gradient coloring, smoothing options, and a predictive line tool, this script helps you see not just what the current trend is, but how strong it is, and what it would take to reverse it.
Heikin Ashi candles help reduce noise but this script goes further by:
➡️adding color intelligence that shows trend strength using a streak counter
➡️uses smoothing logic to clean up chop and whipsaws
➡️introduces a predictive close line — a subtle but powerful guide for anticipating trend flips before they happen
Everything is configurable: colors, candle sources, overlays, predictive tools, and line styles. It’s built for traders who want visual speed, but don’t want to sacrifice signal quality.
At its core, the script offers two powerful dropdown controls:
💥HA Color Scheme (Colors Regular Candles) — Applies Heikin Ashi-derived coloring to your regular candles based on trend direction or streak strength. This gives you instant visual context without switching to a separate chart type.
💥HA Candle Overlay Mode — Overlays actual Heikin Ashi-style candles directly on top of your chart, using your preferred source:
➡️Custom HA candles using internal formula logic
➡️TradingView’s built-in Heikin Ashi source with your own colors
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
🎨 Custom + Gradient HA Coloring🎨
See trend strength at a glance:
➡️1–4 bar streaks → lighter tone
➡️5–8 bars → medium tone
➡️9+ bars → bold tone, ideal for momentum-based entries, exits, or scaling strategies
→ Choose from:
➡️Your own custom color set
➡️A simple 2-color base mode
➡️Or a 3-level gradient for progressive trend analysis (using the streak counter)
🏛️ TradingView Official Heikin Ashi Overlay
Prefer native HA candles but want your own colors?
This mode plots TradingView's Heikin Ashi source, with your personal bullish/bearish color scheme.
➡️Ensures consistency with built-in charts while still leveraging your visual style.
🌊 Smoothed Heikin Ashi Candles — Clarity in Chaos🌊
These aren’t your standard HA candles. Smoothed Heikin Ashi uses a two-step EMA process to transform chaotic price action into a cleaner, slower-moving trend structure:
🔹 First, it smooths the raw OHLC data using EMA — filtering out minor price fluctuations.
🔹 Then, it applies the Heikin Ashi transformation on top of the smoothed data.
🔹 Finally, it applies a second EMA smoothing pass to the HA values — creating ultra-smooth candles.
📈 What You See:
Trends appear more fluid and consistent.
Choppy ranges and fakeouts are visually suppressed.
Minor pullbacks within a trend are de-emphasized, helping you avoid premature exits.
🎯 Best For:
Swing traders looking to stay in positions longer.
Intraday traders dealing with volatile or noisy instruments.
Anyone who wants a "trend map" overlay without the distractions of raw price action.
✅ Reduces whipsaws
✅ Delivers high-contrast trend zones
✅ Makes reversals more visually apparent (but with a slight lag)
📍 Predictive Close Line📍
Shows where the real close must land to flip the current HA candle's color.
✅ Use it like predictive support/resistance
✅ Know if the trend is actually at risk
✅Visualize potential fakeouts or confirmation
Color-coded based on current HA direction (bullish, bearish, or neutral).
📈 Tick by tick & bar-to-bar Plots📈
Provides 2 plot types:
1)1 plot that tracks a bar tick by tick
2)another plot that tracks the close from bar to bar
For the bar to bar plot, you can choose between 2 options:
✅Full Plot — continuous line colored by HA trend
✅Recent Segments — color just the last few bars (configurable) to reduce chart clutter
✅ Customize width, number of bars, and visibility

📘 How to Use this script📘
Imagine you're watching a choppy 15-minute chart on a volatile crypto pair — price action is messy, and it’s hard to tell if a trend is forming or just noise.
Here’s how to cut through the chaos using Heikin Ashi Overlay Suite:
🔹 Step 1: Enable "Smoothed HA Candles"
Start by turning on the smoothed candles. You’ll immediately notice the noise fades, and broader directional moves become easier to follow. It's like switching from static to clean trend zones.
🧠 Why: Smoothed HA uses a double EMA process that filters out small reversals and lets larger moves stand out. Perfect for sideways or jittery charts.
🔹 Step 2: Watch the Color Gradient Build
As the smoothed candles begin to align in one direction, the gradient coloring (1–4, 5–8, 9+ streaks) gives you an at-a-glance visual of how strong the trend is.
✅ If you see 9+ same-colored candles? You’re likely in a mature trend.
✅ If it resets often? You’re in chop — consider staying out.
🔹 Step 3: Use the Predictive Close Line for Anticipation
Now here’s the edge — this line tells you where the candle would have to close to flip colors.
📉 If price is hovering just above it during a bullish run — momentum may be weakening.
📈 If price bounces off it — the trend may be strengthening.
This is excellent for confirming entries, exits, or spotting early warning signs.
🔹 Step 4: Switch Between Candle Modes as Needed
You can flip between:
✅ Custom HA: Gradient candles with your colors
✅ TradingView HA: The official source with your styling
✅ None: Just color regular candles using the HA logic
Use what fits your style — everything is modular.
🔹 Step 5: Tune It to Your Chart
Lastly, tweak streak thresholds (currently only can do this within the source code), smoothing lengths, and line styles to match your timeframe and strategy.
🎯 Tailor The Settings to Fit Your Trading Style🎯
🔹 🧪 Scalper (1–5 min charts)
If you’re trading fast intraday moves, you want quicker responsiveness and less lag.
Try these settings:
🔸Smoothing Lengths: Use lower values (e.g. len = 3, len2 = 5)
🔸Candle Mode: Use Custom HA or TV’s HA for real-time color flips
🔸Predictive Close Line: Great for ultra-fast anticipation of color reversals
🔸Line Mode: Use Recent Segments mode to track short bursts of trend
🔸Colors: Use high-contrast, opaque colors for clarity
✅ These settings help you catch micro-trends and flip signals faster, while still filtering out the worst of the noise.
🔹 🧪 Swing Trader (30m–4h charts and beyond)
If you’re looking for multi-hour or multi-day trend confirmation, prioritize clarity and staying in moves longer.
Recommended setup:
🔸Smoothing Lengths: Medium to high values (e.g. len = 8, len2 = 21)
🔸Candle Mode: Use Smoothed HA Candles to block out intrabar chop
🔸Gradient Colors: Enable to visualize trend maturity and strength
🔸Predictive Close Line: Helps confirm trend continuation or spot early reversals
🔸Line Mode: Use Full Plot Line for clean HA-based trend tracking
✅ These settings give you a calm, clean view of the bigger picture — ideal for holding positions longer and avoiding early exits.
🔧 This script isn’t just a chart overlay — it’s a visual trend engine.🔧
Ideal For:
🔶 Trend-followers who want clean, color-coded confirmation
🔶 Reversal traders spotting exhaustion via predictive flips
🔶 Scalpers filtering noise with lighter smoothing
🔶 Swing traders using smoothed visuals to hold longer
📌 Final Note
Heikin Ashi Overlay Pro is designed to help you see momentum, trend shifts, and market structure with greater clarity — not to predict price on its own. For best results:
✔️ Combine with support/resistance, moving averages, or price action patterns
✔️ Use Predictive Close as a confirmation tool, not a signal generator
✔️ Pair gradient colors with structure to gauge trend maturity
✔️ Always zoom out and check higher timeframes for context
🧠 Use this as part of a layered approach — not a standalone system.

Higher High Lower Low Higher High Lower Low 🦉{Phanchai} — TradingView Description
Structure detector with dynamic Support/Resistance, customizable labels, and ready-made alerts (Pine v6).
This script marks market structure turning points — HH (Higher High), HL (Higher Low), LH (Lower High), LL (Lower Low) — and builds segmented Support/Resistance lines from those turns. Labels and colors are fully customizable and the script ships with multiple alert conditions.
What it does
Detects swing pivots using left/right bar windows, then classifies each confirmed swing as HH/HL/LH/LL.
Plots compact labels at the confirmed pivot bars with tooltips (English).
Derives dynamic Support / Resistance : every time structure flips, the previous level is closed and a new segment starts, extending to the right .
Provides alert conditions for any label and for specific first-occurrence shifts (e.g., first HH after a bearish label).
How it works (in short)
A pivot high/low confirms only after Right Bars candles have closed; labels and S/R appear at that confirmation bar.
An internal backbone (zigzag-like) is built from confirmed pivots, with light consistency checks to avoid contradictory sequences.
Structure rules compare the recent five pivots (A…E) to decide HH/HL/LH/LL.
S/R is updated from structure: e.g., in an up leg, new HLs refresh Support; in a down leg, new LHs refresh Resistance.
Alerts included
Any structure label (HH/HL/LH/LL) — Fires on any new label.
First LL after HL/HH — First bearish break after a bullish label.
First HH after LL/LH — First bullish break after a bearish label.
LL or HL formed — Any low-side label.
LH or HH formed — Any high-side label.
HL formed
HH formed
LL formed
LH formed
How to use (quick start)
Add the indicator to your chart.
Choose Left/Right Bars for your timeframe (e.g., 5–10 for intraday; larger for higher timeframes).
Pick your label colors/sizes and S/R style.
Right-click the chart → Add alert… → Condition: this indicator → select the desired alert.
Notes & tips
Because pivots require Right Bars to confirm, labels and S/R appear with a natural delay of that many bars. This avoids repainting.
Raising Left/Right Bars reduces noise and increases the average distance between pivots; lowering them increases sensitivity.
Structure is strict: sometimes you may see two HL (or two LH) in a row if the intermediate opposite swing didn’t qualify as HH/LH (or LL/HL).
S/R segments are drawn with line objects ; they are controlled via Inputs (style/width/color), not the Style tab.
This tool highlights structure; it’s not a standalone entry/exit system. Combine with volume, trend, or risk management rules.
Built with Pine v6. Clean, compact labels; segmented S/R that updates only on confirmed changes; comprehensive alerts ready for automation.
Fractal Model (TTrades)Fractal Model - Higher Timeframe Analysis with TTFM Labeling
A higher timeframe candle visualization tool enhanced with TTFM (The Fractal Model) labeling system for pivot-based price action analysis, made popular by Youtuber TTrades
What This Script Does:
This indicator displays higher timeframe candles on your current chart and identifies key pivot formations using the TTFM labeling system. It helps traders understand market structure and potential reversal points through systematic pivot analysis.
Key Features:
Higher Timeframe Visualization : Shows HTF candles without switching timeframes
TTFM Labeling System : Identifies pivot components with C2, C3, and C4 labels
T-Spot Detection : Marks areas where price is likely to form wicks based on pivot logic
Sweep Confirmation : Detects when price sweeps previous levels but closes opposite
Fair Value Gap Detection : Identifies imbalance zones between candle ranges
Alert System : Sends alerts when T-spot formations are confirmed using pivot logic
Silver T-Spot Alerts : Special alerts during specific market hours
How TTFM Labeling Works:
The TTFM system labels pivot formations based on their structure:
C2 : The candle that "sticks out" - the initial move that creates the pivot
C3 / C4 : The distribution candle that continues the reversal (standard pivots)
Alert System:
The indicator provides alerts when:
T-spot formations are created and confirmed
Price sweeps tspot levels with proper confirmation (This signal tries to alert you when a potential wick has formed in the tspot location
Silver T-spot patterns occur during specific market hours
T-spot sweep confirmations are triggered
Practical Usage:
Add the indicator to your chart
Watch for T-spot formations (highlighted zones)
Look for C2, C3, C4 labels to understand pivot structure
Use sweep confirmations for entry timing
Set up alerts for T-spot confirmations and sweeps
Technical Implementation:
Logarithmic Midpoint Calculation:
The T-spot levels are calculated using logarithmic midpoint analysis:
Log Values : log_high = ln(high), log_low = ln(low), log_open = ln(open), log_close = ln(close)
Wick Analysis : upper_wick = log_high - max(log_open, log_close), lower_wick = min(log_open, log_close) - log_low
Body Size : body_size = |log_close - log_open|
Midpoint Logic : If max(upper_wick, lower_wick) > body_size, use wick-based midpoint; otherwise use (log_high + log_low)/2
Final Level : T-spot level = exp(log_mid_level)
T-Spot Formation Conditions:
Standard Bearish : last_closed.h > prev_closed.h AND last_closed.c < prev_closed.h
Standard Bullish : last_closed.l < prev_closed.l AND last_closed.c > prev_closed.l
Expansive Bearish : prev_closed.h > prev_prev_closed.h AND last_closed.c < max(prev_closed.o, prev_closed.c)
Expansive Bullish : prev_closed.l < prev_prev_closed.l AND last_closed.c > min(prev_closed.o, prev_closed.c)
Pro-trend Bearish : last_closed.h > mid_level AND last_closed.h < prev_closed.o AND last_closed.c < prev_closed.l
Pro-trend Bullish : last_closed.l < mid_level AND last_closed.l > prev_closed.o AND last_closed.c > prev_closed.h
Sweep Confirmation Logic:
Pivot Detection : Uses ta.pivothigh(high, 1, 2) and ta.pivotlow(low, 1, 2)
Touch Detection : Price must touch T-spot level (high > level OR open > level) AND close opposite
Confirmation Requirements : Pivot must form before touch, close must break beyond pivot level
Alert Trigger : Sweep confirmed when all conditions are met
Silver T-Spot Conditions:
Special T-spots during specific market hours (4th-5th candle of day or 4th candle after 1PM ET) with additional confirmation requirements.
HTF Auto-Detection:
Automatically selects appropriate higher timeframes: 1m→15m, 3m→30m, 5m→1h, 15m→4h, 30m-1h→1D, 4h-8h→1W, 1D→1M.
Based on HTF Candles by Fadi, enhanced with T-spot detection, sweep logic, TTFM labeling system, and comprehensive alert functionality.
Note: This tool is for educational purposes and should be used in conjunction with proper risk management and market analysis.
Composite Time ProfileComposite Time Profile Overlay (CTPO) - Market Profile Compositing Tool
Automatically composite multiple time periods to identify key areas of balance and market structure
What is the Composite Time Profile Overlay?
The Composite Time Profile Overlay (CTPO) is a Pine Script indicator that automatically composites multiple time periods to identify key areas of balance and market structure. It's designed for traders who use market profile concepts and need to quickly identify where price is likely to find support or resistance.
The indicator analyzes TPO (Time Price Opportunity) data across different timeframes and merges overlapping profiles to create composite levels that represent the most significant areas of balance. This helps you spot where institutional traders are likely to make decisions based on accumulated price action.
Why Use CTPO for Market Profile Trading?
Eliminate Manual Compositing Work
Instead of manually drawing and compositing profiles across different timeframes, CTPO does this automatically. You get instant access to composite levels without spending time analyzing each individual period.
Spot Areas of Balance Quickly
The indicator highlights the most significant areas of balance by compositing overlapping profiles. These areas often act as support and resistance levels because they represent where the most trading activity occurred across multiple time periods.
Focus on What Matters
Rather than getting lost in individual session profiles, CTPO shows you the composite levels that have been validated across multiple timeframes. This helps you focus on the levels that are most likely to hold.
How CTPO Works for Market Profile Traders
Automatic Profile Compositing
CTPO uses a proprietary algorithm that:
- Identifies period boundaries based on your selected timeframe (sessions, daily, weekly, monthly, or auto-detection)
- Calculates TPO profiles for each period using the C2M (Composite 2 Method) row sizing calculation
- Merges overlapping profiles using configurable overlap thresholds (default 50% overlap required)
- Updates composite levels as new price action develops in real-time
Key Levels for Market Profile Analysis
The indicator displays:
- Value Area High (VAH) and Value Area Low (VAL) levels calculated from composite TPO data
- Point of Control (POC) levels where most trading occurred across all composited periods
- Composite zones representing areas of balance with configurable transparency
- 1.618 Fibonacci extensions for breakout targets based on composite range
Multiple Timeframe Support
- Sessions: For intraday market profile analysis
- Daily: For swing trading with daily profiles
- Weekly: For position trading with weekly structure
- Monthly: For long-term market profile analysis
- Auto: Automatically selects timeframe based on your chart
Trading Applications for Market Profile Users
Support and Resistance Trading
Use composite levels as dynamic support and resistance zones. These levels often hold because they represent areas where significant trading decisions were made across multiple timeframes.
Breakout Trading
When composite levels break, they often lead to significant moves. The indicator calculates 1.618 Fibonacci extensions to give you clear targets for breakout trades.
Mean Reversion Strategies
Value Area levels represent the price range where most trading activity occurred. These levels often act as magnets, drawing price back when it moves too far from the mean.
Institutional Level Analysis
Composite levels represent areas where institutional traders have made significant decisions. These levels often hold more weight than traditional technical analysis levels because they're based on actual trading activity.
Key Features for Market Profile Traders
Smart Compositing Logic
- Automatic overlap detection using price range intersection algorithms
- Configurable overlap thresholds (minimum 50% overlap required for merging)
- Dead composite identification (profiles that become engulfed by newer composites)
- Real-time updates as new price action develops using barstate.islast optimization
Visual Customization
- Customizable colors for active, broken, and dead composites
- Adjustable transparency levels for each composite state
- Premium/Discount zone highlighting based on current price vs composite range
- TPO aggression coloring using TPO distribution analysis to identify buying/selling pressure
- Fibonacci level extensions with 1.618 target calculations based on composite range
Clean Chart Presentation
- Only shows the most relevant composite levels (maximum 10 active composites)
- Eliminates clutter from individual session profiles
- Focuses on areas of balance that matter most to current price action
Real-World Trading Examples
Day Trading with Session Composites
Use session-based composites to identify intraday areas of balance. The VAH and VAL levels often act as natural profit targets and stop-loss levels for scalping strategies.
Swing Trading with Daily Composites
Daily composites provide excellent swing trading levels. Look for price reactions at composite zones and use the 1.618 extensions for profit targets.
Position Trading with Weekly Composites
Weekly composites help identify major trend changes and long-term areas of balance. These levels often hold for months or even years.
Risk Management
Composite levels provide natural stop-loss levels. If a composite level breaks, it often signals a significant shift in market sentiment, making it an ideal place to exit losing positions.
Why Composite Levels Work
Composite levels work because they represent areas where significant trading decisions were made across multiple timeframes. When price returns to these levels, traders often remember the previous price action and make similar decisions, creating self-fulfilling prophecies.
The compositing process uses a proprietary algorithm that ensures only levels validated across multiple time periods are displayed. This means you're looking at levels that have proven their significance through actual market behavior, not just random technical levels.
Technical Foundation
The indicator uses TPO (Time Price Opportunity) data combined with price action analysis to identify areas of balance. The C2M row sizing method ensures accurate profile calculations, while the overlap detection algorithm (minimum 50% price range intersection) ensures only truly significant composites are displayed. The algorithm calculates row size based on ATR (Average True Range) divided by 10, then converts to tick size for precise level calculations.
How the Code Actually Works
1. Period Detection and ATR Calculation
The code first determines the appropriate timeframe based on your chart:
- 1m-5m charts: Session-based profiles
- 15m-2h charts: Daily profiles
- 4h charts: Weekly profiles
- 1D charts: Monthly profiles
For each period type, it calculates the number of bars needed for ATR calculation:
- Sessions: 540 minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Daily: 1440 minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Weekly: 7 days worth of minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Monthly: 30 days worth of minutes divided by chart timeframe
2. C2M Row Size Calculation
The code calculates True Range for each bar in the determined period:
- True Range = max(high-low, |high-prevClose|, |low-prevClose|)
- Averages all True Range values to get ATR
- Row Size = (ATR / 10) converted to tick size
- This ensures each TPO row represents a meaningful price movement
3. TPO Profile Generation
For each period, the code:
- Creates price levels from lowest to highest price in the range
- Each level is separated by the calculated row size
- Counts how many bars touch each price level (TPO count)
- Finds the level with highest count = Point of Control (POC)
- Calculates Value Area by expanding from POC until 68.27% of total TPO blocks are included
4. Overlap Detection Algorithm
When a new profile is created, the code checks if it overlaps with existing composites:
- Calculates overlap range = min(currentVAH, prevVAH) - max(currentVAL, prevVAL)
- Calculates current profile range = currentVAH - currentVAL
- Overlap percentage = (overlap range / current profile range) * 100
- If overlap >= 50%, profiles are merged into a composite
5. Composite Merging Logic
When profiles overlap, the code creates a new composite by:
- Taking the earliest start bar and latest end bar
- Using the wider VAH/VAL range (max of both profiles)
- Keeping the POC from the profile with more TPO blocks
- Marking the composite as "active" until price breaks through
6. Real-Time Updates
The code uses barstate.islast to optimize performance:
- Only recalculates on the last bar of each period
- Updates active composite with live price action if enabled
- Cleans up old composites to prevent memory issues
- Redraws all visual elements from scratch each bar
7. Visual Rendering System
The code uses arrays to manage drawing objects:
- Clears all lines/boxes arrays on every bar
- Iterates through composites array to redraw everything
- Uses different colors for active, broken, and dead composites
- Calculates 1.618 Fibonacci extensions for broken composites
Getting Started with CTPO
Step 1: Choose Your Timeframe
Select the period type that matches your trading style:
- Use "Sessions" for day trading
- Use "Daily" for swing trading
- Use "Weekly" for position trading
- Use "Auto" to let the indicator choose based on your chart timeframe
Step 2: Customize the Display
Adjust colors, transparency, and display options to match your charting preferences. The indicator offers extensive customization options to ensure it fits seamlessly into your existing analysis.
Step 3: Identify Key Levels
Look for:
- Composite zones (blue boxes) - major areas of balance
- VAH/VAL lines - value area boundaries
- POC lines - areas of highest trading activity
- 1.618 extension lines - breakout targets
Step 4: Develop Your Strategy
Use these levels to:
- Set entry points near composite zones
- Place stop losses beyond composite levels
- Take profits at 1.618 extension levels
- Identify trend changes when major composites break
Perfect for Market Profile Traders
If you're already using market profile concepts in your trading, CTPO eliminates the manual work of compositing profiles across different timeframes. Instead of spending time analyzing each individual period, you get instant access to the composite levels that matter most.
The indicator's automated compositing process ensures you're always looking at the most relevant areas of balance, while its real-time updates keep you informed of changes as they happen. Whether you're a day trader looking for intraday levels or a position trader analyzing long-term structure, CTPO provides the market profile intelligence you need to succeed.

Confluence Engine Confluence Engine is a practical, non-repainting decision aid that scores market conditions from −100…+100 by combining six proven modules: Trend, Momentum, Volatility, Volume, Structure, and an HTF confirmation. It’s designed for crypto, forex, indices, and stocks, and it fires entries only on confirmed bar closes.
What’s inside
Trend: EMA 20/50/200 alignment plus a Supertrend/KAMA toggle (you choose the baseline).
Momentum: RSI + MACD with confirmed-pivot divergence detection.
Volatility: ATR% and Bollinger Band width vs its average to favor expansion over chop.
Volume: OBV-style cumulative flow slope + volume surge vs SMA×multiplier.
Market Structure: Confirmed pivots, BOS (break of structure) and CHOCH (change of character).
HTF Filter: Closed higher-timeframe context via request.security(..., barmerge.gaps_on, barmerge.lookahead_off).
Why it does not repaint
Signals are computed and plotted on closed bars only.
Pivots/divergences use confirmed pivot points (no forward look).
HTF series are fetched with lookahead_off and use the last closed HTF bar in realtime.
No future bar references are used for entries or alerts.
How to use (3 steps)
Pick a timeframe pair: use a 4–6× HTF multiplier (5m→30m, 15m→1h, 1h→4h, 4h→1D, 1D→1W).
Trade with the HTF: take longs only when the HTF filter is bullish; shorts only when bearish.
Prefer expansion: act when BB width > its average and ATR% is elevated; skip most signals in compression.
Suggested presets (start here)
Crypto (BTC/ETH): 15m→1h, 1h→4h. stLen=10, stMult=3.0, bbLen=20, surgeMul=1.8–2.2, thresholds +40 / −40 (intraday can try +35 / −35).
Forex majors: 15m→1h, 1h→4h. stLen=10–14, stMult=2.5–3.0, surgeMul=1.5–1.8, thresholds +35 / −35 (swing: +45 / −45).
US equities (liquid): 5m→30m/1h, 15m→1h/2h. stMult=3.0–3.5, surgeMul=1.6–2.0, thresholds +45 / −45 to reduce chop.
Indices (ES/NQ): 5m→30m, 15m→1h. Defaults are fine; start at +40 / −40.
Gold/Oil: 15m→1h, 1h→4h. Thresholds +35 / −35, surgeMul=1.6–1.9.
Inputs (plain English)
Use Supertrend (off = KAMA): choose the trend baseline.
EMA Fast/Mid/Slow: 20/50/200 by default for classic stack.
RSI/MACD + divergence pivots: momentum and exhaustion context.
ATR Length & BB Length: volatility regime detection.
Volume SMA & Surge Multiplier: defines “meaningful” volume spikes.
Pivot left/right & “Confirm BOS/CHOCH on Close”: structure strictness.
Enable HTF & Higher Timeframe: confirms the lower timeframe direction.
Thresholds (+long / −short): when the score crosses these, you get signals.
Signals & alerts (IDs preserved)
Entry shapes plot at bar close when the score crosses thresholds.
Alerts you can enable:
CONFLUENCE LONG — long entry signal
CONFLUENCE SHORT — short entry signal
BULLISH BIAS — score turned positive
BEARISH BIAS — score turned negative
Best practices
Focus on signals with HTF agreement and volatility expansion; require volume participation (surge or rising OBV slope) for higher quality.
Raise thresholds (+45/−45 or +50/−50) to reduce whipsaws in choppy sessions.
Lower thresholds (+35/−35) only if you also require volatility/volume filters.
Performance & scope
Works across crypto/FX/equities/indices; no broker data or special feeds required.
No repainting by design; signals/alerts are computed on closed bars.
As with any tool, results vary by regime; always combine with risk management.

Trend dealing rangeHi all!
This indicator will help you find the current dealing range according to the trend. If the trend is bullish the indicator will look for a range between the latest low pivot to the latest high pivot. Vice versa in a bearish trend. The code uses my new library 'FibonacciRetracement' () that has the same code as my other indicator 'Fibonacci retracement' ().
It plots 5 lines from the low to the high and labels them 0 %, 25 %, 50 %, 75 % and 100 %. A trendline can be drawn between the two pivots (dashed and gray by default). Firstly you can define the pivot lengths used, this setting is in the 'Market structure' section but it also applies to the dealing range (it defaults to 5 (left) and 2 (right)). You can show prices if you want to (shown in parantheses, off by default). You can change the default labels position (from left) and the font size (12 by default and higher up it's 7 for market structure text). Lastly you can change the alert frequency (defaults to once per bar close) and the price that has to enter a zone for alert to be sent. 'Close' means that the closing price (or current price if you change the alert frequency to all or once per bar) has to be inside the zone and 'Wick' means that the entire candle needs to be inside the zone.
It's very useful for traders to find the current dealing range and this indicator will help you to do so.
So, this indicator will give you the dealing range and basic market structure through break of structures and change of characters.
If you have any input or suggestions on future features or bugs, don't hesitate to let me know!
Best of trading luck!
Smart Money SignalsSmart Money Signals – Market Flow & Structure Visualizer
Overview
Smart Money Signals is a precision trading tool designed for traders who want to see market structure and momentum flow in real time. By detecting pivots, momentum imbalances, and dynamic support/resistance levels, the indicator transforms raw price action into a clear visual narrative of where capital is entering and exiting the market.
Instead of lagging averages or cluttered signals, Smart Money Signals highlights the moments that matter most—where bullish and bearish flows are confirmed, where support or resistance breaks, and where momentum zones show the true battleground between buyers and sellers. Its adaptive design makes it equally effective for scalpers seeking sharp entries, swing traders tracking reversals, and longer-term traders looking for confirmation of bias.
How It Works
The engine behind Smart Money Signals relies on swing detection and a configurable sensitivity filter. By monitoring directional momentum across recent bars, the system identifies bullish pivots (where downside exhaustion flips into strength) and bearish pivots (where upward thrust collapses into weakness).
When price confirms a pivot, the indicator draws flow lines to mark the breakout and labels them as either continuation or reversal events, depending on existing market bias. Momentum zones are automatically plotted, highlighting the critical areas where buyers defended price or sellers pressed it lower.
Dynamic support and resistance levels extend forward in time, updating live as price develops. These zones change color when broken, visually signaling whether structure has held or failed. Gradient background shading further emphasizes moments of extreme momentum, such as overbought or oversold surges, so that traders instantly see when market pressure intensifies.
Signals and Market Flows
Smart Money Signals provides visual cues that are both intuitive and actionable:
📈 Bullish Flow Signals appear when price breaks above a confirmed pivot, signaling continuation or reversal into strength.
📉 Bearish Flow Signals appear when price breaks below a confirmed pivot, indicating continuation or reversal into weakness.
Momentum Zones highlight the defended areas between pivots, giving traders a visual map of where structure is strongest.
Dynamic Support & Resistance lines extend across the chart, shifting from defense to failure when broken, ensuring that the most relevant levels are always visible.
Break Signals mark the exact bar where key levels give way, confirming structural violations in real time.
By filtering out noise and focusing on meaningful flow events, the system helps traders avoid overreaction and focus only on high-probability structural shifts.
Strategy Integration
Smart Money Signals is versatile across trading styles:
Trend Continuation : Enter in the direction of flow signals, using dynamic zones as both confirmation and stop-loss placement.
Reversal Trading : Watch for pivots tagged as reversal points, where market bias flips and new structure is created.
Momentum Zone Entries : Use the automatically drawn zones to identify low-risk entries on pullbacks or retests.
Bias Alignment : The integrated dashboard reveals the current market bias—bullish, bearish, or neutral—helping traders stay aligned with the dominant flow.
Stop-losses can be positioned beyond the dynamic zone on the opposite side, while take-profits may be guided by the width of zones or momentum-driven extensions. On higher timeframes, the indicator provides context for macro structure, while lower timeframes allow for tactical entry refinement.
Advanced Techniques
Traders seeking deeper precision can combine Smart Money Signals with volume or order flow tools to validate pivots and zone defenses. Monitoring the sequence of bullish and bearish flows helps identify trend maturity, while analyzing the success rate of pivots in the analytics panel builds a data-driven approach to confidence in signals.
Adjusting swing period and sensitivity allows the indicator to adapt to different market conditions, from volatile crypto pairs to steady forex majors. The flexible visual themes—Cyber, Ocean, Sunset, Matrix—ensure readability across setups, while gradient shading keeps the chart intuitive even under fast-moving conditions.
Why Use Smart Money Signals
Markets are driven by liquidity, momentum, and structure. Smart Money Signals uncovers these forces by translating price action into a clear visual map of flow. It shows:
Where structure was built.
Where it was defended.
Where it was broken.
And where momentum is likely to carry next.
By combining flow detection, dynamic zones, and a live analytics dashboard, the indicator provides traders with a complete framework for reading price action in real time.
Whether you trade crypto, forex, or indices, Smart Money Signals adapts seamlessly to any asset class, giving you clarity, precision, and confidence to execute without second-guessing.

Correlation HeatMap [TradingFinder] Sessions Data Science Stats🔵 Introduction
n financial markets, correlation describes the statistical relationship between the price movements of two assets and how they interact over time. It plays a key role in both trading and investing by helping analyze asset behavior, manage portfolio risk, and understand intermarket dynamics. The Correlation Heatmap is a visual tool that shows how the correlation between multiple assets and a central reference asset (the Main Symbol) changes over time.
It supports four market types forex, stocks, crypto, and a custom mode making it adaptable to different trading environments. The heatmap uses a color-coded grid where warmer tones represent stronger negative correlations and cooler tones indicate stronger positive ones. This intuitive color system allows traders to quickly identify when assets move together or diverge, offering real-time insights that go beyond traditional correlation tables.
🟣 How to Interpret the Heatmap Visually ?
Each cell represents the correlation between the main symbol and one compared asset at a specific time.
Warm colors (e.g. red, orange) suggest strong negative correlation as one asset rises, the other tends to fall.
Cool colors (e.g. blue, green) suggest strong positive correlation both assets tend to move in the same direction.
Lighter shades indicate weaker correlations, while darker shades indicate stronger correlations.
The heatmap updates over time, allowing users to detect changes in correlation during market events or trading sessions.
One of the standout features of this indicator is its ability to overlay global market sessions such as Tokyo, London, New York, or major equity opens directly onto the heatmap timeline. This alignment lets traders observe how correlation structures respond to real-world session changes. For example, they can spot when assets shift from being inversely correlated to moving together as a new session opens, potentially signaling new momentum or macro flow. The customizable symbol setup (including up to 20 compared assets) makes it ideal not only for forex and crypto traders but also for multi-asset and sector-based stock analysis.
🟣 Use Cases and Advantages
Analyze sector rotation in equities by tracking correlation to major indices like SPX or DJI.
Monitor altcoin behavior relative to Bitcoin to find early entry opportunities in crypto markets.
Detect changes in currency alignment with DXY across trading sessions in forex.
Identify correlation breakdowns during market volatility, signaling possible new trends.
Use correlation shifts as confirmation for trade setups or to hedge multi-asset exposure
🔵 How to Use
Correlation is one of the core concepts in financial analysis and allows traders to understand how assets behave in relation to one another. The Correlation Heatmap extends this idea by going beyond a simple number or static matrix. Instead, it presents a dynamic visual map of how correlations shift over time.
In this indicator, a Main Symbol is selected as the reference point for analysis. In standard modes such as forex, stocks, or crypto, the symbol currently shown on the main chart is automatically used as the main symbol. This allows users to begin correlation analysis right away without adjusting any settings.
The horizontal axis of the heatmap shows time, while the vertical axis lists the selected assets. Each cell on the heatmap shows the correlation between that asset and the main symbol at a given moment.
This approach is especially useful for intermarket analysis. In forex, for example, tracking how currency pairs like OANDA:EURUSD EURUSD, FX:GBPUSD GBPUSD, and PEPPERSTONE:AUDUSD AUDUSD correlate with TVC:DXY DXY can give insight into broader capital flow.
If these pairs start showing increasing positive correlation with DXY say, shifting from blue to light green it could signal the start of a new phase or reversal. Conversely, if negative correlation fades gradually, it may suggest weakening relationships and more independent or volatile movement.
In the crypto market, watching how altcoins correlate with Bitcoin can help identify ideal entry points in secondary assets. In the stock market, analyzing how companies within the same sector move in relation to a major index like SP:SPX SPX or DJ:DJI DJI is also a highly effective technique for both technical and fundamental analysts.
This indicator not only visualizes correlation but also displays major market sessions. When enabled, this feature helps traders observe how correlation behavior changes at the start of each session, whether it's Tokyo, London, New York, or the opening of stock exchanges. Many key shifts, breakouts, or reversals tend to happen around these times, and the heatmap makes them easy to spot.
Another important feature is the market selection mode. Users can switch between forex, crypto, stocks, or custom markets and see correlation behavior specific to each one. In custom mode, users can manually select any combination of symbols for more advanced or personalized analysis. This makes the heatmap valuable not only for forex traders but also for stock traders, crypto analysts, and multi-asset strategists.
Finally, the heatmap's color-coded design helps users make sense of the data quickly. Warm colors such as red and orange reflect stronger negative correlations, while cool colors like blue and green represent stronger positive relationships. This simplicity and clarity make the tool accessible to both beginners and experienced traders.
🔵 Settings
Correlation Period: Allows you to set how many historical bars are used for calculating correlation. A higher number means a smoother, slower-moving heatmap, while a lower number makes it more responsive to recent changes.
Select Market: Lets you choose between Forex, Stock, Crypto, or Custom. In the first three options, the chart’s active symbol is automatically used as the Main Symbol. In Custom mode, you can manually define the Main Symbol and up to 20 Compared Symbols.
Show Open Session: Enables the display of major trading sessions such as Tokyo, London, New York, or equity market opening hours directly on the timeline. This helps you connect correlation shifts with real-world market activity.
Market Mode: Lets you select whether the displayed sessions relate to the forex or stock market.
🔵 Conclusion
The Correlation Heatmap is a robust and flexible tool for analyzing the relationship between assets across different markets. By tracking how correlations change in real time, traders can better identify alignment or divergence between symbols and gain valuable insights into market structure.
Support for multiple asset classes, session overlays, and intuitive visual cues make this one of the most effective tools for intermarket analysis.
Whether you’re looking to manage portfolio risk, validate entry points, or simply understand capital flow across markets, this heatmap provides a clear and actionable perspective that you can rely on.

Reversal Point Dynamics⇋ Reversal Point Dynamics (RPD)
This is not an indicator; it is a complete system for deconstructing the mechanics of a market reversal. Reversal Point Dynamics (RPD) moves far beyond simplistic pattern recognition, venturing into a deep analysis of the underlying forces that cause trends to exhaust, pause, and turn. It is engineered from the ground up to identify high-probability reversal points by quantifying the confluence of market dynamics in real-time.
Where other tools provide a static signal, RPD delivers a dynamic probability. It understands that a true market turning point is not a single event, but a cascade of failing momentum, structural breakdown, and a shift in market order. RPD's core engine meticulously analyzes each of these dynamic components—the market's underlying state, its velocity and acceleration, its degree of chaos (entropy), and its structural framework. These forces are synthesized into a single, unified Probability Score, offering you an unprecedented, transparent view into the conviction behind every potential reversal.
This is not a "black box" system. It is an open-architecture engine designed to empower the discerning trader. Featuring real-time signal projection, an integrated Fibonacci R2R Target Engine, and a comprehensive dashboard that acts as your Dynamics Control Center , RPD gives you a complete, holistic view of the market's state.
The Theoretical Core: Deconstructing Market Dynamics
RPD's analytical power is born from the intelligent synthesis of multiple, distinct theoretical models. Each pillar of the engine analyzes a different facet of market behavior. The convergence of these analyses—the "Singularity" event referenced in the dashboard—is what generates the final, high-conviction probability score.
1. Pillar One: Quantum State Analysis (QSA)
This is the foundational analysis of the market's current state within its recent context. Instead of treating price as a random walk, QSA quantizes it into a finite number of discrete "states."
Formulaic Concept: The engine establishes a price range using the highest high and lowest low over the Adaptive Analysis Period. This range is then divided into a user-defined number of Analysis Levels. The current price is mapped to one of these states (e.g., in a 9-level system, State 0 is the absolute low, and State 8 is the absolute high).
Analytical Edge: This acts as a powerful foundational filter. The engine will only begin searching for reversal signals when the market has reached a statistically stretched, extreme state (e.g., State 0 or 8). The Edge Sensitivity input allows you to control exactly how close to this extreme edge the price must be, ensuring you are trading from points of maximum potential exhaustion.
2. Pillar Two: Price State Roc (PSR) - The Dynamics of Momentum
This pillar analyzes the kinetic forces of the market: its velocity and acceleration. It understands that it’s not just where the price is, but how it got there that matters.
Formulaic Concept: The psr function calculates two derivatives of price.
Velocity: (price - price ). This measures the speed and direction of the current move.
Acceleration: (velocity - velocity ). This measures the rate of change in that speed. A negative acceleration (deceleration) during a strong rally is a critical pre-reversal warning, indicating momentum is fading even as price may be pushing higher.
Analytical Edge: The engine specifically hunts for exhaustion patterns where momentum is clearly decelerating as price reaches an extreme state. This is the mechanical signature of a weakening trend.
3. Pillar Three: Market Entropy Analysis - The Dynamics of Order & Chaos
This is RPD's chaos filter, a concept borrowed from information theory. Entropy measures the degree of randomness or disorder in the market's price action.
Formulaic Concept: The calculateEntropy function analyzes recent price changes. A market moving directionally and smoothly has low entropy (high order). A market chopping back and forth without direction has high entropy (high chaos). The value is normalized between 0 and 1.
Analytical Edge: The most reliable trades occur in low-entropy, ordered environments. RPD uses the Entropy Threshold to disqualify signals that attempt to form in chaotic, unpredictable conditions, providing a powerful shield against whipsaw markets.
4. Pillar Four: The Synthesis Engine & Probability Calculation
This is where all the dynamic forces converge. The final probability score is a weighted calculation that heavily rewards confluence.
Formulaic Concept: The calculateProbability function intelligently assembles the final score:
A Base Score is established from trend strength and entropy.
An Entropy Score adds points for low entropy (order) and subtracts for high entropy (chaos).
A significant Divergence Bonus is awarded for a classic momentum divergence.
RSI & Volume Bonuses are added if momentum oscillators are in extreme territory or a volume spike confirms institutional interest.
MTF & Adaptive Bonuses add further weight for alignment with higher timeframe structure.
Analytical Edge: A signal backed by multiple dynamic forces (e.g., extreme state + decelerating momentum + low entropy + volume spike) will receive an exponentially higher probability score. This is the very essence of analyzing reversal point dynamics.
The Command Center: Mastering the Inputs
Every input is a precise lever of control, allowing you to fine-tune the RPD engine to your exact trading style, market, and timeframe.
🧠 Core Algorithm
Predictive Mode (Early Detection):
What It Is: Enables the engine to search for potential reversals on the current, unclosed bar.
How It Works: Analyzes intra-bar acceleration and state to identify developing exhaustion. These signals are marked with a ' ? ' and are tentative.
How To Use It: Enable for scalping or very aggressive day trading to get the earliest possible indication. Disable for swing trading or a more conservative approach that waits for full bar confirmation.
Live Signal Mode (Current Bar):
What It Is: A highly aggressive mode that plots tentative signals with a ' ! ' on the live bar based on projected price and momentum. These signals repaint intra-bar.
How It Works: Uses a linear regression projection of the close to anticipate a reversal.
How To Use It: For advanced users who use intra-bar dynamics for execution and understand the nature of repainting signals.
Adaptive Analysis Period:
What It Is: The main lookback period for the QSA, PSR, and Entropy calculations. This is the engine's "memory."
How It Works: A shorter period makes the engine highly sensitive to local price swings. A longer period makes it focus only on major, significant market structure.
How To Use It: Scalping (1-5m): 15-25. Day Trading (15m-1H): 25-40. Swing Trading (4H+): 40-60.
Fractal Strength (Bars):
What It Is: Defines the strength of the pivot detection used for confirming reversal events.
How It Works: A value of '2' requires a candle's high/low to be more extreme than the two bars to its left and right.
How To Use It: '2' is a robust standard. Increase to '3' for an even stricter definition of a structural pivot, which will result in fewer signals.
MTF Multiplier:
What It Is: Integrates pivot data from a higher timeframe for confluence.
How It Works: A multiplier of '4' on a 15-minute chart will pull pivot data from the 1-hour chart (15 * 4 = 60m).
How To Use It: Set to a multiple that corresponds to your preferred higher timeframe for contextual analysis.
🎯 Signal Settings
Min Probability %:
What It Is: Your master quality filter. A signal is only plotted if its score exceeds this threshold.
How It Works: Directly filters the output of the final probability calculation.
How To Use It: High-Quality (80-95): For A+ setups only. Balanced (65-75): For day trading. Aggressive (50-60): For scalping.
Min Signal Distance (Bars):
What It Is: A noise filter that prevents signals from clustering in choppy conditions.
How It Works: Enforces a "cooldown" period of N bars after a signal.
How To Use It: Increase in ranging markets to focus on major swings. Decrease on lower timeframes.
Entropy Threshold:
What It Is: Your "chaos shield." Sets the maximum allowable market randomness for a signal.
How It Works: If calculated entropy is above this value, the signal is invalidated.
How To Use It: Lower values (0.1-0.5): Extremely strict. Higher values (0.7-1.0): More lenient. 0.85 is a good balance.
Adaptive Entropy & Aggressive Mode:
What It Is: Toggles for dynamically adjusting the engine's core parameters.
How It Works: Adaptive Entropy can slightly lower the required probability in strong trends. Aggressive Mode uses more lenient settings across the board.
How To Use It: Keep Adaptive on. Use Aggressive Mode sparingly, primarily for scalping highly volatile assets.
📊 State Analysis
Analysis Levels:
What It Is: The number of discrete "states" for the QSA.
How It Works: More levels create a finer-grained analysis of price location.
How To Use It: 6-7 levels are ideal. Increasing to 9 can provide more precision on very volatile assets.
Edge Sensitivity:
What It Is: Defines how close to the absolute top/bottom of the range price must be.
How It Works: '0' means price must be in the absolute highest/lowest state. '3' allows a signal within the top/bottom 3 states.
How To Use It: '3' provides a good balance. Lower it to '1' or '0' if you only want to trade extreme exhaustion.
The Dashboard: Your Dynamics Control Center
The dashboard provides a transparent, real-time view into the engine's brain. Use it to understand the context behind every signal and to gauge the current market environment at a glance.
🎯 UNIFIED PROB SCORE
TOTAL SCORE: The highest probability score (either Peak or Valley) the engine is currently calculating. This is your main at-a-glance conviction metric. The "Singularity" header refers to the event where market dynamics align—the event RPD is built to detect.
Quality: A human-readable interpretation of the Total Score. "EXCEPTIONAL" (🌟) is a rare, A+ confluence event. "STRONG" (💪) is a high-quality, tradable setup.
📊 ORDER FLOW & COMPONENT ANALYSIS
Volume Spike: Shows if the current volume is significantly higher than average (YES/NO). A 'YES' adds major confirmation.
Peak/Valley Conf: This breaks down the probability score into its directional components, showing you the separate confidence levels for a potential top (Peak) versus a bottom (Valley).
🌌 MARKET STRUCTURE
HTF Trend: Shows the direction of the underlying trend based on a Supertrend calculation.
Entropy: The current market chaos reading. "🔥 LOW" is an ideal, ordered state for trading. "😴 HIGH" is a warning of choppy, unpredictable conditions.
🔮 FIB & R2R ZONE (Large Dashboard)
This section gives you the status of the Fibonacci Target Engine. It shows if an Active Channel (entry zone) or Stop Zone (invalidation zone) is active and displays the precise price levels for the static entry, target, and stop calculated at the time of the signal.
🛡️ FILTERS & PREDICTIVES (Large Dashboard)
This panel provides a status check on all the bonus filters. It shows the current RSI Status, whether a Divergence is present, and if a Live Pending signal is forming.
The Visual Interface: A Symphony of Data
Every visual element is designed for instant, intuitive interpretation of market dynamics.
Signal Markers: These are the primary outputs of the engine.
▼/▲ b: A fully confirmed signal that has passed all filters.
? b: A tentative signal generated in Predictive Mode, indicating developing dynamics.
◈ b: This diamond icon replaces the standard triangle when the signal is confirmed by a strong momentum divergence, highlighting it as a superior setup where dynamics are misaligned with price.
Harmonic Wave: The flowing, colored wave around the price.
What It Represents: The market's "flow dynamic" and volatility.
How to Interpret It: Expanding waves show increasing volatility. The color is tied to the "Quantum Color" in your theme, representing the underlying energy field of the market.
Entropy Particles: The small dots appearing above/below price.
What They Represent: A direct visualization of the "order dynamic."
How to Interpret Them: Their presence signifies a low-entropy, ordered state ideal for trading. Their color indicates the direction of momentum (PSR velocity). Their absence means the market is too chaotic (high entropy).
The Fibonacci Target Engine: The dynamic R2R system appearing post-signal.
Static Fib Levels: Colored horizontal lines representing the market's "structural dynamic."
The Green "Active Channel" Box: Your zone of consideration. An area to manage a potential entry.
Development Philosophy
Reversal Point Dynamics was engineered to answer a fundamental question: can we objectively measure the forces behind a market turn? It is a synthesis of concepts from market microstructure, statistics, and information theory. The objective was never to create a "perfect" system, but to build a robust decision-support tool that provides a measurable, statistical edge by focusing on the principle of confluence.
By demanding that multiple, independent market dynamics align simultaneously, RPD filters out the vast majority of market noise. It is designed for the trader who thinks in terms of probability and risk management, not in terms of certainties. It is a tool to help you discount the obvious and bet on the unexpected alignment of market forces.
"Markets are constantly in a state of uncertainty and flux and money is made by discounting the obvious and betting on the unexpected."

Trend Range Detector (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Trend Range Detector (Zeiierman) is a market structure tool that identifies and tracks periods of price compression by forming adaptive range boxes based on volatility and price movement. When prices remain stable within a defined band, the script dynamically draws a range box; when prices break out of that structure, the box highlights the breakout in real-time.
By combining a volatility-based envelope with a custom weighted centerline, this tool filters out noise and isolates truly stable zones — providing a clean framework for traders who focus on accumulation, distribution, breakout anticipation, and reversion opportunities.
Whether you're range trading, spotting trend consolidations, or looking for volatility contractions before major moves, the Trend Range Detector gives you a mathematically adaptive, visually intuitive structure that maps the heartbeat of the market.
█ How It Works
⚪ Range Formation Engine
The core of this indicator revolves around two conditions:
Distance Filter: The maximum distance between all recent closes and a dynamic centerline must remain within a volatility envelope.
Volatility Envelope: Based on an ATR(2000) multiplied by a user-defined factor to account for broader market volatility trends.
If both conditions are satisfied over the most recent length bars, a range box is drawn to visually anchor the zone.
⚪ Dynamic Breakout Coloring
When price breaks out of the top or bottom of the active range box, the box color shifts in real-time:
Blue Boxes represent areas where price has remained within a defined volatility envelope over a sustained number of bars. These zones reflect stable, low-volatility periods, often associated with consolidation, equilibrium, or market indecision.
Green Boxes for bullish breakouts.
Red Boxes for bearish breakdowns.
This allows traders to visually spot transitions from consolidation to expansion phases without relying on lagging signals.
█ Why Use a Weighted Close Instead of SMA?
A standard Simple Moving Average (SMA) treats all past closes equally, which works well in theory, but not in dynamic, fast-shifting markets. In this script, we replace the traditional SMA with a speed-weighted average that reflects how aggressively the market has moved bar-to-bar.
⚪ Here's why it matters:
Bars with higher momentum (larger price differences between closes) are given more weight.
Slow, sideways candles (typical in noise or low volume) contribute less to the calculated centerline.
This method creates a more accurate snapshot of market behavior, especially during volatile phases. As a result, the indicator adapts to market conditions more effectively, helping traders identify real consolidation zones, not just average lines distorted by flat bars or noise.
█ How to Use
⚪ Range Detection
Boxes form only when price remains consistently close to the speed-weighted mean.
Helps identify sideways zones, consolidations, and low-volatility structures where price is “charging up.”
⚪ Breakout Confirmation
Once price exits the top or bottom boundary, the box immediately highlights the direction of the break.
Use this signal in conjunction with your own momentum, volume, or trend filters for higher-confidence trades.
█ Settings
Minimum Range Length: Number of candles required for a valid range to form.
Range Width Multiplier: Adjusts the envelope around the weighted average using ATR(2000).
Highlight Box Breaks: Enables real-time coloring of breakouts and breakdowns for immediate visual feedback.

Price Ranged FVG📌 Price Ranged FVG
Is a clean and efficient tool designed to detect Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) with adjustable filters and structural context. It’s especially useful for traders looking to filter out insignificant gaps and focus on high-probability areas, particularly around swing breaks or structural shifts.
🧠 What is a Fair Value Gap (FVG)?
A Fair Value Gap appears when there’s a price imbalance between candles — typically after a strong move — where the market skips over certain price levels without trading there. These zones can act as potential areas for price to return to (mean reversion), or serve as support/resistance depending on market structure.
🔍 FVG Detection Types
You can choose between three different detection modes under the "FVG Detection" input:
Same Type: Only detects FVGs where the last 3 candles are in the same direction (all bullish or all bearish).
All: Detects any FVG, regardless of candle direction.
Twin Close: Detects FVGs only when the last two candles are in the same direction and close accordingly — offering a stricter confirmation.
🎯 FVG % Filters
To filter out noise or insignificant gaps, this indicator includes:
Minimum FVG % Filter: Ignores FVGs smaller than your specified percentage of the current close.
Maximum FVG % Filter: Ignores overly large gaps that may be unreliable or caused by anomalies.
These filters help focus on relevant FVGs that are more likely to act as reaction zones.
🏛 Structural Context (Swing Highs and Lows)
The indicator plots swing highs and swing lows with dots to provide structure-based context:
Set Swing Strength to 3 for detecting internal structure (shorter-term moves).
Use a higher setting like 5 to focus on external structure (more significant highs/lows).
These levels can help you determine whether an FVG is forming within a consolidation, breakout, or key structural transition.
✅ Use Case (My Personal Workflow)
I personally use this indicator to:
Filter out weak or irrelevant FVGs using the % filters.
Watch for price interaction at swing breaks — especially when an FVG aligns with a break in internal or external structure.
Refine entry and exit planning in confluence with other tools or strategies.

CDP - Counter-Directional-Pivot🎯 CDP - Counter-Directional-Pivot
📊 Overview
The Counter-Directional-Pivot (CDP) indicator calculates five critical price levels based on the previous day's OHLC data, specifically designed for multi-timeframe analysis. Unlike standard pivot points, CDP levels are calculated using a unique formula that identifies potential reversal zones where price action often changes direction.
⚡ What Makes This Script Original
This implementation solves several technical challenges that existing pivot indicators face:
🔄 Multi-Timeframe Consistency: Values remain identical across all timeframes (1m, 5m, 1h, daily) - a common problem with many pivot implementations
🔒 Intraday Stability: Uses advanced value-locking technology to prevent the "stepping" effect that occurs when pivot lines shift during the trading session
💪 Robust Data Handling: Optimized for both liquid and illiquid stocks with enhanced data synchronization
🧮 CDP Calculation Formula
The indicator calculates five key levels using the previous day's High (H), Low (L), and Close (C):
CDP = (H + L + C) ÷ 3 (Central Decision Point)
AH = 2×CDP + H – 2×L (Anchor High - Strong Resistance)
NH = 2×CDP – L (Near High - Moderate Resistance)
AL = 2×CDP – 2×H + L (Anchor Low - Strong Support)
NL = 2×CDP – H (Near Low - Moderate Support)

Fibonacci Optimal Entry Zone [OTE] (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Fibonacci Optimal Entry Zone (Zeiierman) is a high-precision market structure tool designed to help traders identify ideal entry zones during trending markets. Built on the principles of Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Fibonacci retracements, this indicator highlights key areas where price is most likely to react — specifically within the "Golden Zone" (between the 50% and 61.8% retracement).
It tracks structural pivot shifts (CHoCH) and dynamically adjusts Fibonacci levels based on real-time swing tracking. Whether you're trading breakouts, pullbacks, or optimal entries, this tool brings unparalleled clarity to structure-based strategies.
Ideal for traders who rely on confluence, this indicator visually synchronizes swing highs/lows, market structure shifts, Fibonacci retracement levels, and trend alignment — all without clutter or lag.
⚪ The Structural Assumption
Price moves in waves, but key retracements often lead to continuation or reversal — especially when aligned with structure breaks and trend shifts.
The Optimal Entry Zone captures this behavior by anchoring Fibonacci levels between recent swing extremes. The most powerful area — the Golden Zone — marks where institutional re-entry is likely, providing traders with a sniper-like roadmap to structure-based entries.
█ How It Works
⚪ Structure Tracking Engine
At its core, the indicator detects pivots and classifies trend direction:
Structure Period – Determines the depth of pivots used to detect swing highs/lows.
CHoCH – Break of structure logic identifies where the trend shifts or continues, marked visually on the chart.
Bullish & Bearish Modes – Independently toggle uptrend and downtrend detection and styling.
⚪ Fibonacci Engine
Upon each confirmed structural shift, Fibonacci retracement levels are projected between swing extremes:
Custom Levels – Choose which retracements (0.50, 0.618, etc.) are shown.
Real-Time Adjustments – When "Swing Tracker" is enabled, levels and labels update dynamically as price forms new swings.
Example:
If you disable the Swing Tracker, the Golden Level is calculated using the most recent confirmed swing high and low.
If you enable the Swing Tracker, the Golden Level is calculated from the latest swing high or low, making it more adaptive as the trend evolves in real time.
█ How to Use
⚪ Structure-Based Entry
Wait for CHoCH events and use the resulting Fibonacci projection to identify entry points. Enter trades as price taps into the Golden Zone, especially when confluence forms with swing structure or order blocks.
⚪ Real-Time Reaction Tracking
Enable Swing Tracker to keep the tool live — constantly updating zones as price shifts. This is especially useful for scalpers or intraday traders who rely on fresh swing zones.
█ Settings
Structure Period – Number of bars used to define swing pivots. Larger values = stronger structure.
Swing Tracker – Auto-updates fib levels as new highs/lows form.
Show Previous Levels – Keep older fib zones on chart or reset with each structure shift.

Curved Trend Channels (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Curved Trend Channels (Zeiierman) is a next-generation trend visualization tool engineered to adapt dynamically to both linear and non-linear market behavior. It introduces a novel curvature-based channeling system that grows over time during trending conditions, mirroring the natural acceleration of price trends, while simultaneously leveraging adaptive range filtering and dual-layer candle trend logic.
This tool is ideal for traders seeking smooth yet reactive dynamic channels that evolve with market structure. Whether used in curved mode or traditional slope mode, it provides exceptional clarity on trend transitions, volatility compression, and breakout development.
█ How It Works
⚪ Adaptive Range Filter Foundation
The core of the system is a volatility-based range filter that determines the underlying structure of the bands:
Pre-Smoothing of High/Low Data – Highs and lows are smoothed using a selectable moving average (SMA, EMA, HMA, KAMA, etc.) before calculating the volatility range.
Volatility Envelope – The range is scaled using a fixed factor (2.618) and further adjusted by a Band Multiplier to form the primary envelope around price.
Smoothed Volatility Curve – Final bands are stabilized using a long lookback, ensuring clean visual structure and trend clarity.
⚪ Curved Channel Logic
In Curved Mode, the trend channel grows over time when the trend direction remains unchanged:
Base Step Size (× ATR) – Sets the minimum unit of slope change.
Growth per Bar (× ATR) – Defines the acceleration rate of the channel slope with time.
Trend Persistence Recognition – The longer a trend persists, the more pronounced the slope becomes, mimicking real market accelerations.
This dynamic, time-dependent logic enables the channel to "curve" upward or downward, tracking long-standing trends with increasing confidence.
⚪ Trend Slope
As an alternative to curved logic, traders can activate a regular Trend slope using:
Slope Length – Determines how quickly the trend line adapts to price shifts.
Multiplicative Factor – Amplifies the sensitivity of the slope, useful in fast-moving markets or lower timeframes.
⚪ Candle Trend Confirmation
A robust second-layer trend detection method, the Candle Trend System evaluates directional pressure by analyzing smoothed price action:
Multi-tier Smoothing – Trend lines are derived from short-, medium-, and long-term candle movement.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Identification
When the Trend Line direction and Candle Colors are in agreement, this indicates strong, persistent directional conviction. Use these moments to enter with trend confirmation and manage risk more confidently.
⚪ Retest
During ongoing trends, the price will often pull back into the dynamic channel. Look for:
Support/resistance interactions at the upper or lower bands.
█ Settings
Scaled Volatility Length – Controls the historical depth used to stabilize the volatility bands.
Smoothing Type – Choose from HMA, KAMA, VIDYA, FRAMA, Super Smoother, etc. to match your asset and trading style.
Volatility MA Length – Smoothing length for the calculated range; shorter = more reactive.
High/Low Smoother Length – Additional smoothing to reduce noise from spikes or false pivots.
Band Multiplier – Widens or tightens the band range based on personal preference.
Enable Curved Channel – Toggle between curved or regular trend slope behavior.
Base Step (× ATR) – The starting point for curved slope progression.
Growth per Bar (× ATR) – How much the slope accelerates per bar during a sustained trend.
Slope – Reactivity of the standard trend line to price movements.
Multiplicative Factor – Sensitivity adjustment for HyperTrend slope.
Candle Trend Length – Lookback period for trend determination from candle structure.

PCA Regime-Adjusted MomentumSummary
The PCA Regime-Adjusted Momentum (PCA-RAM) is an advanced market analysis tool designed to provide nuanced insights into market momentum and structural stability. It moves beyond traditional indicators by using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to deconstruct market data into its most essential patterns.
The indicator provides two key pieces of information:
A smoothed momentum signal based on the market's dominant underlying trend.
A dynamic regime filter that gauges the stability and clarity of the market's structure, advising you when to trust or fade the momentum signals.
This allows traders to not only identify potential shifts in momentum but also to understand the context and confidence behind those signals.
Core Concepts & Methodology
The strength of this indicator lies in its sound, data-driven methodology.
1. Principal Component Analysis (PCA)
At its core, the indicator analyzes a rolling window (default 50 periods) of standardized market data (Open, High, Low, Close, and Volume). PCA is a powerful statistical technique that distills this complex, 5-dimensional data into its fundamental, uncorrelated components of variance. We focus on the First Principal Component (PC1), which represents the single most dominant pattern or "theme" driving the market's behavior in the lookback window.
2. The Momentum Signal
Instead of just looking at price, we project the current market data onto this dominant underlying pattern (PC1). This gives us a raw "projection score" that measures how strongly the current bar aligns with the historically dominant market structure. This raw score is then smoothed using two an exponential moving averages (a fast and a slow line) to create a clear, actionable momentum signal, similar in concept to a MACD.
3. The Dynamic Regime Filter
This is arguably the indicator's most powerful feature. It answers the question: "How clear is the current market picture?"
It calculates the Market Concentration Ratio, which is the percentage of total market variance explained by PC1 alone.
A high ratio indicates that the market is moving in a simple, one-dimensional way (e.g., a clear, strong trend).
A low ratio indicates the market is complex, multi-dimensional, and choppy, with no single dominant theme.
Crucially, this filter is dynamic. It compares the current concentration ratio to its own recent average, allowing it to adapt to any asset or timeframe. It automatically learns what "normal" and "choppy" look like for the specific chart you are viewing.
How to Interpret the Indicator
The indicator is displayed in a separate pane with two key visual elements:
The Momentum Lines (White & Gold)
White Line: The "Fast Line," representing the current momentum.
Gold Line: The "Slow Line," acting as the trend confirmation.
Bullish Signal: A crossover of the White Line above the Gold Line suggests a shift to positive momentum.
Bearish Signal: A crossover of the White Line below the Gold Line suggests a shift to negative momentum.
The Regime Filter (Purple & Dark Red Background)
This is your confidence gauge.
Navy Blue Background (High Concentration): The market structure is stable, simple, and trending. Momentum signals are more reliable and should be given higher priority.
Dark Red Background (Low Concentration): The market structure is complex, choppy, or directionless. Momentum signals are unreliable and prone to failure or "whipsaws." This is a signal to be cautious, tighten stops, or potentially stay out of the market.
Potential Trading Strategies
This tool is versatile and can be used in several ways:
1. Primary Signal Strategy
Condition: Wait for the background to turn Purple, confirming a stable, high-confidence regime.
Entry: Take the next crossover signal from the momentum lines (White over Gold for long, White under Gold for short).
Exit/Filter: Consider exiting positions or ignoring new signals when the background turns Navy.
2. As a Confirmation or Filter for Your Existing Strategy
Do you have a trend-following system? Only enable its long and short signals when the PCA-RAM background is Purple.
Do you have a range-trading or mean-reversion system? It might be most effective when the PCA-RAM background is Navy, indicating a lack of a clear trend.
3. Advanced Divergence Analysis
Look for classic divergences between price and the momentum lines. For example, if the price is making a new high, but the Gold Line is making a lower high, it may indicate underlying weakness in the trend, even on a Purple background. This divergence signal is more powerful because it shows that the new price high is not being confirmed by the market's dominant underlying pattern.
Mandelbrot-Fibonacci Cascade Vortex (MFCV)Mandelbrot-Fibonacci Cascade Vortex (MFCV) - Where Chaos Theory Meets Sacred Geometry
A Revolutionary Synthesis of Fractal Mathematics and Golden Ratio Dynamics
What began as an exploration into Benoit Mandelbrot's fractal market hypothesis and the mysterious appearance of Fibonacci sequences in nature has culminated in a groundbreaking indicator that reveals the hidden mathematical structure underlying market movements. This indicator represents months of research into chaos theory, fractal geometry, and the golden ratio's manifestation in financial markets.
The Theoretical Foundation
Mandelbrot's Fractal Market Hypothesis Traditional efficient market theory assumes normal distributions and random walks. Mandelbrot proved markets are fractal - self-similar patterns repeating across all timeframes with power-law distributions. The MFCV implements this through:
Hurst Exponent Calculation: H = log(R/S) / log(n/2)
Where:
R = Range of cumulative deviations
S = Standard deviation
n = Period length
This measures market memory:
H > 0.5: Trending (persistent) behavior
H = 0.5: Random walk
H < 0.5: Mean-reverting (anti-persistent) behavior
Fractal Dimension: D = 2 - H
This quantifies market complexity, where higher dimensions indicate more chaotic behavior.
Fibonacci Vortex Theory Markets don't move linearly - they spiral. The MFCV reveals these spirals using Fibonacci sequences:
Vortex Calculation: Vortex(n) = Price + sin(bar_index × φ / Fn) × ATR(Fn) × Volume_Factor
Where:
φ = 0.618 (golden ratio)
Fn = Fibonacci number (8, 13, 21, 34, 55)
Volume_Factor = 1 + (Volume/SMA(Volume,50) - 1) × 0.5
This creates oscillating spirals that contract and expand with market energy.
The Volatility Cascade System
Markets exhibit volatility clustering - Mandelbrot's "Noah Effect." The MFCV captures this through cascading volatility bands:
Cascade Level Calculation: Level(i) = ATR(20) × φ^i
Each level represents a different fractal scale, creating a multi-dimensional view of market structure. The golden ratio spacing ensures harmonic resonance between levels.

Cascade Signals: Triggered by:
RSI > 60 AND price > SMA(50) AND bearish vortex
RSI < 40 AND price < SMA(50) AND bullish vortex
Volatility expansion AND trend strength > 0.3
Both signals implement a 15-bar cooldown to prevent overtrading.

CISD [TakingProphets]🧠 Indicator Purpose:
The "CISD - Change in State of Delivery" is a precision tool designed for traders utilizing ICT (Inner Circle Trader) conecpets. It detects critical shifts in delivery conditions after liquidity sweeps — helping you spot true smart money activity and optimal trade opportunities. This script is especially valuable for traders applying liquidity concepts, displacement recognition, and market structure shifts at both intraday and swing levels.
🌟 What Makes This Indicator Unique:
Unlike basic trend-following or scalping tools, CISD operates through a two-phase smart money logic:
Liquidity Sweep Detection (sweeping Buyside or Sellside Liquidity).
State of Delivery Change Identification (through bearish or bullish displacement after the sweep).
It intelligently tracks candle sequences and only signals a CISD event after true displacement — offering a much deeper context than ordinary indicators.
⚙️ How the Indicator Works:
Swing Point Detection: Identifies recent pivot highs/lows to map Buyside Liquidity (BSL) and Sellside Liquidity (SSL) zones.
Liquidity Sweeps: Watches for price breaches of these liquidity points to detect institutional stop hunts.
Sequence Recognition: Finds series of same-direction candles before sweeps to mark institutional accumulation/distribution.
Change of Delivery Confirmation: Confirms CISD only after significant displacement moves price against the initial candle sequence.
Visual Markings: Automatically plots CISD lines and optional labels, customizable in color, style, and size.
🎯 How to Use It:
Identify Liquidity Sweeps: Watch for CISD levels plotted after a liquidity sweep event.
Plan Entries: Look for retracements into CISD lines for high-probability entries.
Manage Risk: Use CISD levels to refine your stop-loss and profit-taking zones.
Best Application:
After stop hunts during Killzones (London Open, New York AM).
As part of the Flow State Model: identify higher timeframe PD Arrays ➔ wait for lower timeframe CISD confirmation.
🔎 Underlying Concepts:
Liquidity Pools: Highs and lows cluster stop orders, attracting institutional sweeps.

Volume Range Profile with Fair Value (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Volume Range Profile with Fair Value (Zeiierman) is a precision-built volume-mapping tool designed to help traders visualize where institutional-level activity is occurring within the price range — and how that volume behavior shifts over time.
Unlike traditional volume profiles that rely on fixed session boundaries or static anchors, this tool dynamically calculates and displays volume zones across both the upper and lower ends of a price range, revealing point-of-control (POC) levels, directional volume flow, and a fair value drift line that updates live with each candle.
You’re not just looking at volume anymore. You’re dissecting who’s in control — and at what price.
⚪ In simple terms:
Upper Zone = The upper portion of the price range, showing concentrated volume activity — typically where selling or distribution may occur
Lower Zone = The lower portion of the price range, highlighting areas of high volume — often associated with buying or accumulation
POC Bin = The bin (price level) with the highest traded volume in the zone — considered the most accepted price by the market
Fair Value Trend = A dynamic trend line tracking the average POC price over time — visualizing the evolving fair value
Zone Labels = Display real-time breakdown of buy/sell volume within each zone and inside the POC — revealing who’s in control
█ How It Works
⚪ Volume Zones
Upper Zone: Anchored at the highest high in the lookback period
Lower Zone: Anchored at the lowest low in the lookback period
Width is user-defined via % of range
Each zone is divided into a series of volume bins
⚪ Volume Bins (Histograms)
Each zone is split into N bins that show how much volume occurred at each level:
Taller = More volume
The POC bin (Point of Control) is highlighted
Labels show % of volume in the POC relative to the whole zone
⚪ Buy vs Sell Breakdown
Each volume bin is split by:
Buy Volume = Close ≥ Open
Sell Volume = Close < Open
The script accumulates these and displays total Buy/Sell volume per zone.
⚪ Fair Value Drift Line
A POC trend is plotted over time:
Represents where volume was most active across each range
Color changes dynamically — green for rising, red for falling
Serves as a real-time fair value anchor across changing market structure
█ How to Use
⚪ Identify Key Control Zones
Use Upper/Lower Zone structures to understand where supply and demand is building.
Zones automatically adapt to recent highs/lows and re-center volume accordingly.
⚪ Follow Institutional Activity
Watch for POC clustering near price tops or bottoms.
Large volumes near extremes may indicate accumulation or distribution.
⚪ Spot Fair Value Drift
The fair value trend line (average POC price) gives insight into market equilibrium.
One strategy can be to trade a re-test of the fair value trend, trades are taken in the direction of the current trend.
█ Understanding Buy & Sell Volume Labels (Zone Totals)
These labels show the total buy and sell volume accumulated within each zone over the selected lookback period:
Buy Vol (green label) → Total volume where candles closed bullish
Sell Vol (red label) → Total volume where candles closed bearish
Together, they tell you which side dominated:
Higher Buy Vol → Bullish accumulation zone
Higher Sell Vol → Bearish distribution zone
This gives a quick visual insight into who controlled the zone, helping you spot areas of demand or supply imbalance.
█ Understanding POC Volume Labels
The POC (Point of Control) represents the price level where the most volume occurred within the zone. These labels break down that volume into:
Buy % – How much of the volume was buying (price closed up)
Sell % – How much was selling (price closed down)
Total % – How much of the entire zone’s volume happened at the POC
Use it to spot strong demand or supply zones:
High Buy % + High Total % → Strong buying interest = likely support
High Sell % + High Total % → Strong selling pressure = likely resistance
It gives a deeper look into who was in control at the most important price level.
█ Why It’s Useful
Track where fair value is truly forming
Detect aggressive volume accumulation or dumping
Visually split buyer/seller control at the most relevant price levels
Adapt volume structures to current trend direction
█ Settings Explained
Lookback Period: Number of bars to scan for highs/lows. Higher = smoother zones, Lower = reactive.
Zone Width (% of Range): Controls how much of the range is used to define each zone. Higher = broader zones.
Bins per Zone: Number of volume slices per zone. Higher = more detail, but heavier on resources.
