Confluence Engine [BullByte]CONFLUENCE ENGINE
Multi-Factor Technical Analysis Framework
OVERVIEW
Confluence Engine is a multi-dimensional technical analysis framework that evaluates market conditions across five distinct analytical pillars simultaneously. Rather than relying on a single indicator or signal source, this tool synthesizes Structure, Momentum, Volume, Volatility, and Pattern analysis into a unified scoring system that identifies high-probability trading opportunities when multiple technical factors align.
The core philosophy behind this indicator stems from a fundamental observation: isolated signals frequently fail, but when multiple independent analytical methods agree, the probability of a successful trade increases substantially. This indicator was developed after extensive research into why traders often receive conflicting signals from different indicators on their charts, leading to analysis paralysis and poor decision-making.
THE PROBLEM AND SOLUTION
The Problem:
Most traders use multiple indicators independently, often receiving contradictory signals. One indicator says "buy" while another says "wait." This creates confusion and leads to missed opportunities, premature entries based on incomplete analysis, difficulty quantifying how strong a setup actually is, and inconsistent decision-making across different market conditions.
The Solution:
Confluence Engine addresses this by providing a single, unified score (0-100) that represents the aggregate strength of a trading setup. Instead of mentally weighing five different indicators, traders receive a clear numerical score indicating setup quality, visual tier classification (ULTRA, HIGH, STANDARD), specific identification of which factors are strong or weak, and actionable guidance on what to watch for next.
THE FIVE ANALYTICAL DIMENSIONS
Each dimension was selected because it measures a fundamentally different aspect of market behavior:
STRUCTURE ANALYSIS
Evaluates price position relative to key levels and recent swing points. Markets respect structure - previous highs, lows, and areas where price reversed. This dimension identifies when price interacts with these critical levels and measures the quality of that interaction.
What it detects: Price approaching or sweeping swing highs/lows, reclaim patterns after false breakouts, EMA alignment and trend structure, exhaustion after extended moves.
MOMENTUM ANALYSIS
Measures the underlying strength and direction of price movement. Strong moves are characterized by momentum preceding price. This dimension evaluates whether momentum supports the current price direction.
What it detects: Oversold/overbought conditions with reversal potential, momentum divergence states, directional movement strength (ADX-based), momentum shifts before price confirmation.
VOLUME ANALYSIS
Volume validates price movement. Significant moves require participation. This dimension measures current volume relative to recent averages to determine if market participants are genuinely committing to the move.
What it detects: Volume spikes confirming price action, below-average volume warning of weak moves, climactic volume at potential reversals, volume confirmation of rejection patterns.
VOLATILITY ANALYSIS
Markets alternate between compression (low volatility) and expansion (high volatility). This dimension identifies these phases and recognizes when compression is likely to resolve into directional movement.
What it detects: Volatility squeeze conditions (Bollinger inside Keltner), squeeze release direction, ATR expansion indicating breakout potential, compression duration for timing breakouts.
PATTERN ANALYSIS
Candlestick patterns reflect the battle between buyers and sellers within each bar. This dimension evaluates the quality and context of reversal and continuation patterns.
What it detects: Engulfing patterns with quality scoring, hammer and shooting star formations, rejection wicks indicating trapped traders, pattern confluence with other factors.
WHAT MAKES THIS INDICATOR ORIGINAL Not a mashup
This is NOT a mashup of indicators displayed together. The Confluence Engine represents an integrated analytical framework with the following unique characteristics:
Unified Scoring System: All five dimensions feed into a proprietary scoring algorithm that weights and combines their signals. The output is a single 0-100 score, not five separate readings.
Multi-Factor Gate: Beyond just scoring, the system requires a minimum number of factors to be "active" (meeting their individual thresholds) before allowing signals. This prevents signals based on one extremely strong factor masking four weak ones.
Regime-Aware Adjustments: The engine detects the current market regime (trending, ranging, volatile, weak) and automatically adjusts factor weights and score multipliers. A structure signal means something different in a trending market versus a ranging market.
Adaptive Risk Management: Take-profit and stop-loss levels are not static. They adapt based on current volatility, market regime, and signal quality - providing tighter targets in low-volatility environments and wider targets when volatility expands.
Liquidity Sweep Detection: A distinctive feature that identifies when price has swept beyond a swing high/low and then reclaimed back inside. This pattern often indicates stop hunts followed by reversals.
Signal Quality Tiers: Rather than just "signal" or "no signal," the engine classifies setups into tiers. ULTRA (80+) represents highest probability setups with all factors aligned. HIGH (70-79) represents strong setups with multiple factors confirming. STANDARD meets minimum threshold for acceptable setups.
HOW THE SCORING WORKS
Each of the five factors generates a raw score from 0-100 based on current market conditions. These raw scores are then weighted according to the selected trading style (Balanced, Scalper, Swing, Range, Trend), adjusted based on current market regime detection, modified by higher timeframe alignment (if enabled), bonused when multiple factors exceed their activation thresholds simultaneously, and multiplied by session factors (if session filter is enabled).
The result is a final Bull Score and Bear Score, each ranging from 0-100, representing the current strength of long and short setups respectively.
Signal Generation Requirements:
- Score meets minimum threshold (configurable: 60-95)
- Required number of factors are "active" (default: 3 of 5)
- Market regime is not blocked (if blocking enabled)
- Higher timeframe alignment passes (if required)
- Cooldown period from last signal has elapsed
UNDERSTANDING THE DASHBOARDS
Main Dashboard (Top Right)
The main dashboard displays real-time scores and market context:
LONG Score - Current bullish setup strength (0-100) with quality tier displayed
SHORT Score - Current bearish setup strength (0-100) with quality tier displayed
Regime - Current market state showing TREND UP, TREND DN, VOLATILE, RANGE, or WEAK
HTF - Higher timeframe alignment showing BULL, BEAR, NEUT, or OFF
Squeeze - Volatility state showing SQZ (in squeeze), REL+ (bullish release), REL- (bearish release), or NORM
Gate - Factor count versus requirement, for example 4/3 means 4 factors active with 3 required
Sweep L/S - Liquidity sweep status for long and short setups
ATR% - Current ATR as percentile of recent range indicating relative volatility
Vol - Current volume relative to 20-period average
R:R - Current risk-reward ratio based on adaptive TP/SL calculations
Trade - Active trade status and unrealized profit/loss percentage
Analysis Dashboard (Bottom Left)
The analysis dashboard provides actionable guidance:
Signal Readiness - Visual progress bars showing how close each direction is to generating a signal
Blocking Factors - Identifies which specific factor is weakest and preventing signals
Recommended Action - Context-aware guidance such as WATCH, WAIT, MANAGE, or SCAN
Watch For - Specific events to monitor for setup completion
Opportunity Level - Overall market opportunity rating from EXCELLENT to VERY POOR
Timing - Contextual timing guidance based on current conditions
Status Bar (Bottom Center)
Compact view displaying Long Score, Gate Status, Current State, Gate Status, and Short Score in a single row for quick reference.
Dashboard Size - Auto Mode Explained
When Dashboard Size is set to "Auto", the indicator intelligently adjusts text size based on your current chart timeframe to optimize readability:
Auto-Sizing Logic:
1-Minute to 5-Minute Charts → Tiny
- Lower timeframes show more bars on screen
- Tiny text prevents dashboard from obscuring price action
- Recommended for scalping and high-frequency monitoring
15-Minute Charts → Small
- Balanced size for intraday trading
- Readable without being intrusive
1-Hour to Daily Charts → Normal
- Standard size for most trading styles
- Optimal readability for swing trading
Weekly and Monthly Charts → Large
- Larger text for position trading
- Fewer bars visible so space is available
Manual Override:
You can override auto-sizing for any dashboard individually:
- Dashboard Size (All): Sets master size applied to all dashboards
- Main Dashboard Size: Override for top-right dashboard specifically
- Analysis Panel Size: Override for bottom-left panel specifically
- Status Bar Size: Override for bottom-center bar specifically
Example Use Case:
Trading on 5m chart (default = Tiny) but you have good eyesight and large monitor:
- Set "Dashboard Size (All)" to "Small" or "Normal" for better readability
- Individual dashboards will use your override instead of auto-sizing
Recommendation:
Start with Auto mode and only adjust if dashboards are too large or too small for your monitor/eyesight.
UNDERSTANDING SIGNAL LABELS
When a signal generates, a label appears with trade information:
Minimal Style Example:
LONG 85
Shows tier icon, direction, and score only.
Detailed Style Example:
ULTRA LONG
Score: 85
Entry: 50250.50
TP1: 50650.25
TP2: 51500.75
SL: 49850.25
R:R 1:2.5
Regime: TREND UP
HTF: BULL
Tier Icons Explained:
indicates ULTRA quality with score 80 or higher
indicates HIGH quality with score between 70 and 79
indicates STANDARD quality with score meeting minimum threshold
UNDERSTANDING TRADE ZONES
When a signal generates, visual elements appear on the chart:
Entry Line (Purple) marks the entry price level
TP1 Line (Blue Dashed) marks the first take-profit target
TP2 Line (Cyan Dashed) marks the final take-profit target
SL Line (Orange Dotted) marks the stop-loss level
Trade Zone Box shows shaded area from SL to TP2
These elements extend forward as price progresses. When TP1 is hit, its line becomes solid to indicate achievement. When the trade completes at either TP2 or SL, all elements are cleaned up and the entry label converts to a compact ghost label for historical reference.
Exit Labels Explained:
+X.XX% indicates first target reached with partial profit secured
+X.XX% indicates full target reached with maximum profit achieved
-X.XX% indicates stop-loss triggered
TP1 Hit, SL... indicates stopped out after TP1 was already hit (optional display)
OPPOSITE SIGNAL HANDLING
When market conditions shift dramatically, the engine may generate a signal in the opposite direction while an existing trade is active. This represents a significant change in confluence and is handled automatically:
Automatic Trade Reversal Process:
1. Detection: New signal triggers opposite to current trade direction (e.g., SHORT signal while LONG trade is active)
2. Current Trade Closure:
- All visual elements (entry line, TP/SL lines, trade zone) are deleted
- Current trade is marked as closed
3. Entry Label Conversion:
- The detailed entry label is converted to a compact ghost label
- Ghost label shows direction + score (e.g., "LONG 75")
- Marked with "OPP" outcome to indicate opposite signal closure
- Moved to a non-interfering position below/above price
4. New Trade Initialization:
- Fresh entry label created for new direction
- New TP1, TP2, SL levels calculated based on new signal quality
- Trade zone and price lines drawn for new trade
Example Scenario:
You enter a LONG trade at score 72. Price moves sideways for 8 bars, then market structure breaks down. Confluence shifts heavily bearish with a sweep reclaim bear + momentum + volume spike, generating a SHORT signal at score 81. The engine automatically:
- Closes the LONG trade
- Converts "LONG 72" entry label to a small ghost label
- Opens new SHORT trade at current price
- Displays new SHORT entry label with full trade details
Trading Implication:
This behavior ensures the engine is always aligned with the highest-probability direction based on current confluence. It prevents you from holding a position when all five factors have flipped against you.
Note: This does NOT happen for every small score change. The opposite signal must meet all signal generation requirements (minimum score, gate pass, regime check, HTF alignment) before triggering. Typically occurs during strong trend reversals or major support/resistance breaks.

Interpretation
The engine produced a standard short (Score 64) while the market showed elevated volume and volatility but no HTF confirmation. Although the Gate passed (3/3), Structure = 0 blocks the indicator from issuing fresh entries — this is intentional and by design: one missing factor (structure) is enough to prevent new signals even when other factors look supportive. The currently open short is being managed (partial targets and SL visible), but the system's recommendation is to manage the existing trade only and not open new shorts until structure or HTF alignment improves.
Why this example matters (teaching point)
-Gate ≠ Go: Gate pass (factor count) alone does not force fresh trades — the system enforces additional checks (structure, regime, HTF) to avoid lower-quality setups.
-Volume & Volatility are necessary but not sufficient: High volume and wide ATR create movement but do not replace structural validation.
-Active trade vs new entries: The script will continue to manage an already open trade but will not create a new signal while a blocking factor remains. This prevents overtrading and reduces false positives.
-Practical trader actions shown by the example
-Manage existing SHORT only: Trail to breakeven if TP1 is taken; scale out at TP1; hold remaining if price respects trend and structure reclaims.
-Do not add fresh positions: Wait for Structure > 0 or a HTF alignment that lifts the block.
-Watch for signals that matter: Sweep reclaim, HTF alignment turning bullish for shorts (i.e., HTF changes to BEAR), or a squeeze release with volume spike — these can clear the blocker and validate new entries.
RECOMMENDED TIMEFRAMES
For Scalping on 1m, 5m, or 15m charts: Use higher factor thresholds and shorter cooldowns. The faster pace requires stricter filtering.
For Day Trading on 15m, 30m, or 1H charts: This provides a balance of signal frequency and reliability suitable for most active traders.
For Swing Trading on 1H, 4H, or Daily charts: Expect higher quality signals with longer hold periods and fewer false signals.
For Position Trading on Daily or Weekly charts: Focus on ULTRA signals only for maximum conviction on longer-term positions.
Higher Timeframe Alignment Recommendations:
When trading 5m, use 1H as your HTF
When trading 15m, use 1H or 4H as your HTF
When trading 1H, use 4H or Daily as your HTF
When trading 4H, use Daily as your HTF
The general rule is to select an HTF that is 4 to 12 times your trading timeframe.
TRADING STYLE PRESETS
Balanced (Default)
Equal weighting across all five factors at 20% each. Suitable for most market conditions and recommended as starting point.
Scalper
Emphasizes Volume at 30% and Volatility at 30%. Designed for quick in-and-out trades on lower timeframes where immediate momentum and volatility expansion matter most.
Swing Trader
Emphasizes Structure at 30% and Momentum at 30%. Focuses on catching larger moves where trend direction and key levels are paramount.
Range Trader
Emphasizes Structure at 35% and Pattern at 25%. Optimized for sideways markets where support/resistance levels and reversal patterns dominate.
Trend Follower
Emphasizes Momentum at 40%. Designed for trending markets where staying with the dominant direction is the priority.
QUALITY MODE SETTINGS
Custom Mode
Set your own minimum score threshold. Lower thresholds between 60 and 65 generate more signals but with lower average quality. Higher thresholds of 75 or above generate fewer but higher-quality signals.
High Quality Mode
Uses minimum score of 70. Recommended for most users as it filters out marginal setups while still providing reasonable signal frequency.
Ultra Only Mode
Uses minimum score of 80 for maximum selectivity. Only the highest-conviction setups generate signals. Recommended for swing and position traders or during uncertain market conditions.
REGIME DETECTION
The engine continuously evaluates market conditions and classifies them into five states:
TREND UP
Characteristics: Strong ADX reading with EMAs aligned in bullish order
Trading Implications: Long signals receive score boost while short signals are suppressed. Momentum factor gains additional weight.
TREND DN
Characteristics: Strong ADX reading with EMAs aligned in bearish order
Trading Implications: Short signals receive score boost while long signals are suppressed. Momentum factor gains additional weight.
VOLATILE
Characteristics: High ATR percentile, wide Bollinger Bands, elevated volume
Trading Implications: Both directions remain viable but wider stops are recommended. Volume factor gains additional weight.
RANGE
Characteristics: Low ADX reading, narrow Bollinger Bands, low ATR percentile
Trading Implications: Structure signals are emphasized while momentum signals are suppressed. Pattern recognition becomes more important.
WEAK
Characteristics: Unclear or mixed conditions that do not fit other categories
Trading Implications: Reduced confidence in all signals. Consider waiting for clearer market conditions.
Filter Mode Options:
Off - Regime is detected and displayed but no score adjustments are applied
Adjust Scores - Automatically modifies factor weights based on current regime
Block Weak Regimes - Prevents signals from generating when regime is RANGE or WEAK
VOLATILITY SQUEEZE DETECTION
A volatility squeeze occurs when Bollinger Bands contract inside the Keltner Channel, indicating reduced volatility and potential energy building for a breakout.
Squeeze States Explained:
SQZ with bar count (example: SQZ 15)
Indicates currently in squeeze for the displayed number of bars. A score penalty is applied during this phase because compression represents uncertainty about direction.
REL+ (Release Bullish)
Indicates squeeze has released with price above the basis line. Score bonus is applied for long setups as this often precedes strong upward moves.
REL- (Release Bearish)
Indicates squeeze has released with price below the basis line. Score bonus is applied for short setups as this often precedes strong downward moves.
NORM (Normal)
No active squeeze detected. Standard scoring applies.
Trading Implication:
Squeeze releases often produce strong directional moves. The engine detects both the squeeze duration and the release direction, awarding bonus points to signals that align with the release. Longer squeeze duration often corresponds to more powerful breakouts.
LIQUIDITY SWEEP DETECTION
Markets often sweep beyond obvious support and resistance levels to trigger stops before reversing. The engine detects these patterns:
Bullish Sweep Reclaim
Price sweeps below recent swing low, triggering stop losses, then reclaims back above the swing low. This often indicates smart money accumulation after retail stops are collected.
Bearish Sweep Reclaim
Price sweeps above recent swing high, triggering stop losses, then reclaims back below the swing high. This often indicates smart money distribution after retail stops are collected.
Sweep Status in Dashboard:
RCL (Reclaim) - Reclaim has been confirmed. This receives highest structure score as the pattern is complete.
PND (Pending) - Sweep has occurred and price is near the level but full reclaim not yet confirmed. Watching for completion.
ACT (Active) - Sweep is currently in progress with price beyond the swing level.
Dash (-) - No sweep activity detected.
MULTI-FACTOR GATE SYSTEM
Beyond overall score, the engine counts how many individual factors meet their activation threshold.
Example Calculation:
Structure score 45 with threshold 35 equals ACTIVE
Momentum score 25 with threshold 30 equals INACTIVE
Volume score 50 with threshold 35 equals ACTIVE
Volatility score 40 with threshold 30 equals ACTIVE
Pattern score 35 with threshold 30 equals ACTIVE
Result: 4 of 5 factors are active
If minimum required factors is set to 3, this example passes the gate and receives a 4-factor bonus.
Gate Bonuses:
4 factors active adds 8 points to final score (default setting)
5 factors active adds 15 points to final score (perfect confluence)
Purpose:
This mechanism prevents scenarios where one extremely high factor score masks four weak factors. A score of 75 with only 2 active factors is less reliable than a score of 70 with 4 active factors.
ADAPTIVE RISK MANAGEMENT
Take-profit and stop-loss distances adjust dynamically based on three inputs:
Volatility Influence (default 40% weight)
Low ATR percentile produces tighter targets
High ATR percentile produces wider targets
This ensures stops are not too tight in volatile conditions or too wide in calm conditions.
Regime Influence (default 30% weight)
Trending market with aligned signal produces extended targets
Ranging market produces contracted targets
Volatile regime produces wider stops for protection
Score Influence (default 30% weight)
ULTRA signals (high conviction) receive extended targets
STANDARD signals receive standard targets
Higher conviction justifies larger profit expectations.
You can configure the weight of each influence in settings to match your trading style.
SESSION FILTER (Optional Feature)
When enabled, the engine applies score multipliers based on the trading session:
Asian Session (default 0.9x multiplier)
Characterized by lower volatility and ranging tendency. Score reduction reflects reduced opportunity.
London Session (default 1.1x multiplier)
Characterized by high volatility and trend initiation. Score boost reflects increased opportunity.
London/NY Overlap (default 1.2x multiplier)
Characterized by highest liquidity and strongest moves. Maximum score boost reflects peak trading conditions.
New York Session (default 1.05x multiplier)
Characterized by volatility but typically after initial moves have occurred.
Configure your UTC offset in settings to align session detection with your chart timezone.

AUTOMATIC SETTINGS VALIDATION
The indicator performs comprehensive validation when first loaded on a chart. If configuration errors are detected, a warning label appears on the chart with specific guidance.
Critical Errors (Prevent Signal Generation):
ULTRA threshold must exceed HIGH threshold
- Example error: HIGH = 75, ULTRA = 70
- Fix: Ensure ULTRA threshold is higher than HIGH threshold
- Default safe values: HIGH = 70, ULTRA = 80
Minimum factors cannot exceed 5
- The gate requires 3 to 5 factors (you cannot require 6 of 5 factors)
- Fix: Set minimum active factors to 3, 4, or 5
TP2 multiplier must exceed TP1 multiplier
- Example error: TP1 = 3.0 ATR, TP2 = 2.0 ATR
- Fix: Ensure TP2 (final target) is farther than TP1 (partial target)
- Default safe values: TP1 = 2.0, TP2 = 5.0
Swing lookback minimum is 3 bars
- Liquidity sweep detection requires at least 3 bars to identify swing highs/lows
- Fix: Increase swing lookback period to 3 or higher
ATR period minimum is 5 bars
- ATR calculation requires sufficient data for accuracy
- Fix: Increase ATR period to 5 or higher (14 recommended)
Higher timeframe must be larger than chart timeframe
- Example error: Trading on 1H chart with MTF set to 15m
- Fix: Select HTF that is 4-12x your chart timeframe
- Example: If trading 15m, use 1H or 4H as HTF
Warnings (Signal Generation Continues):
Score threshold below 50 generates many signals
- Lower thresholds increase signal frequency but reduce quality
- Recommendation: Use minimum 60 for active trading, 70+ for swing trading
Cooldown below 3 bars may cause signal clustering
- Very short cooldowns can produce multiple signals in quick succession
- Recommendation: Use 5+ bars for lower timeframes, 3+ for higher timeframes

DEBUG MODE AND FACTOR MARKERS
The indicator includes optional debug tools for traders who want deeper insight into the scoring mechanics and factor analysis. These features are disabled by default to keep the chart clean but can be enabled in the Debug Mode settings group.
FACTOR MARKERS
When "Show Factor Markers" is enabled, visual shapes appear on the chart indicating confluence states:
Perfect Confluence (5/5 Factors Active)
A circle appears below the bar for bullish or above the bar for bearish setups. This represents maximum confluence where all five analytical dimensions meet their activation thresholds simultaneously. A small label showing "5/5" also appears. This is a rare occurrence and typically precedes the highest quality signals. Background color shifts to highlight this exceptional alignment.
Strong Confluence (4/5 Factors Active)
A diamond shape appears below the bar for bullish or above the bar for bearish setups. This represents strong confluence with four of five factors active. A label showing "4/5" appears when this state is first achieved. This level of confluence is associated with high-quality setups.
Ready Confluence (3/5 Factors Active)
A triangle appears below the bar (pointing up) for bullish or above the bar (pointing down) for bearish setups. This represents the minimum confluence level required when gate is set to 3 factors. No label appears for this level to reduce visual clutter.
Confluence Background
When factor markers are enabled, a subtle background color appears indicating the current confluence state. Stronger colors indicate higher confluence levels. Bullish confluence shows green tints while bearish confluence shows red tints.
Purpose of Factor Markers:
These markers help traders visualize when confluence is building before a signal triggers. You might see a 4/5 diamond appear one or two bars before the actual signal, giving you advance notice that conditions are aligning. This can help with preparation and timing.
DEBUG PANEL (Bottom Right)
When any debug option is enabled, a debug panel appears in the bottom right corner of the chart providing detailed scoring information.
Score Breakdown Table
When "Show Score Breakdown" is enabled, the panel displays:
Factor column showing Structure, Momentum, Volume, Volatility, and Pattern
Bull column showing raw score (0-100) for each bullish factor
Bear column showing raw score (0-100) for each bearish factor
Weight column showing current percentage weight for each factor
Below the factor rows :
FINAL row shows the calculated final Bull and Bear scores after all adjustments
Adj row shows total adjustments applied including gate bonus, squeeze adjustment, and exhaustion adjustment with positive or negative sign
This breakdown allows you to see exactly which factors are contributing to the score and which are lagging. If you notice Structure consistently low, you know to wait for better price positioning relative to swing levels.
Regime Debug
When "Show Regime Debug" is enabled, the panel displays:
Current regime state (TREND UP, TREND DN, VOLATILE, RANGE, WEAK)
Current ADX value driving the regime classification
This helps you understand why certain score adjustments are being applied and verify the regime detection is working as expected for current market conditions.
MTF Debug
When "Show MTF Debug" is enabled, the panel displays:
Current MTF alignment status (BULL, BEAR, NEUT)
The higher timeframe being analyzed
This confirms the higher timeframe data is being read correctly and shows you the trend bias from the larger timeframe perspective.
Using Debug Mode Effectively
For Learning: Enable all debug options when first using the indicator to understand how scores are calculated and what drives signal generation.
For Optimization: Use score breakdown to identify which factors are consistently weak in your chosen market and timeframe. This can inform whether to adjust factor thresholds or switch trading styles.
For Troubleshooting: If signals seem inconsistent, enable debug to see exactly what values the engine is working with. This helps identify if a specific factor is behaving unexpectedly.
For Live Trading: Disable debug features to keep chart clean and reduce visual distraction. The main dashboards provide sufficient information for trade execution.
Debug Settings Summary:
Show Factor Markers - Displays shapes on chart when 3, 4, or 5 factors align. Useful for seeing confluence build before signals trigger.
Show Score Breakdown - Displays detailed table with all raw factor scores, weights, and adjustments. Useful for understanding exactly how final score is calculated.
Show Regime Debug - Adds regime state and ADX value to debug panel. Useful for verifying regime detection accuracy.
Show MTF Debug - Adds higher timeframe status and timeframe to debug panel. Useful for confirming MTF data is loading correctly.
PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS
On lower timeframes such as 1-minute and 5-minute charts, the indicator creates visual elements including labels, lines, and boxes that may impact performance on slower devices.
Performance Mode automatically reduces visual elements, optimizes calculation frequency, and limits historical ghost labels when enabled.
Configure Max Ghost Labels (default 50) to control how many historical signal labels are retained on the chart.
NON-REPAINTING DESIGN
Signal Integrity:
All entry and exit signals generate only on confirmed (closed) bars using barstate.isconfirmed checks. This ensures signals do not appear and disappear during bar formation.
Higher Timeframe Data:
MTF analysis uses request.security with lookahead disabled (barmerge.lookahead_off) to prevent future data from influencing current calculations.
Visual Elements:
Lines, boxes, and labels for active trades update in real-time for monitoring purposes but this visual updating does not affect signal generation logic. Entry decisions are made solely on confirmed bar data.

Luxy Super-Duper SuperTrend Predictor Engine and Buy/Sell signalA professional trend-following grading system that analyzes historical trend
patterns to provide statistical duration estimates using advanced similarity
matching and k-nearest neighbors analysis. Combines adaptive Supertrend with
intelligent duration statistics, multi-timeframe confluence, volume confirmation,
and quality scoring to identify high-probability setups with data-driven
target ranges across all timeframes.
Note: All duration estimates are statistical calculations based on historical data, not guarantees of future performance.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
Unlike traditional SuperTrend indicators that only tell you trend direction, this system answers the critical question: "What is the typical duration for trends like this?"
The Statistical Analysis Engine:
• Analyzes your chart's last 15+ completed SuperTrend trends (bullish and bearish separately)
• Uses k-nearest neighbors similarity matching to find historically similar setups
• Calculates statistical duration estimates based on current market conditions
• Learns from estimation errors and adapts over time (Advanced mode)
• Displays visual duration analysis box showing median, average, and range estimates
• Tracks Statistical accuracy with backtest statistics
Complete Trading System:
• Statistical trend duration analysis with three intelligence levels
• Adaptive Supertrend with dynamic ATR-based bands
• Multi-timeframe confluence analysis (6 timeframes: 5M to 1W)
• Volume confirmation with spike detection and momentum tracking
• Quality scoring system (0-70 points) rating each setup
• One-click preset optimization for all trading styles
• Anti-repaint guarantee on all signals and duration estimates
METHODOLOGY CREDITS
This indicator's approach is inspired by proven trading methodologies from respected market educators:
• Mark Minervini - Volatility Contraction Pattern (VCP) and pullback entry techniques
• William O'Neil - Volume confirmation principles and institutional buying patterns (CANSLIM methodology)
• Dan Zanger - Volatility expansion entries and momentum breakout strategies
Important: These are educational references only. This indicator does not guarantee any specific trading results. Always conduct your own analysis and risk management.
KEY FEATURES
1. TREND DURATION ANALYSIS SYSTEM - The Core Innovation
The statistical analysis engine is what sets this indicator apart from standard SuperTrend systems. It doesn't just identify trend changes - it provides statistical analysis of potential duration.
How It Works:
Step 1: Historical Tracking
• Automatically records every completed SuperTrend trend (duration in bars)
• Maintains separate databases for bullish trends and bearish trends
• Stores up to 15 most recent trends of each type
• Captures market conditions at each trend flip: volume ratio, ATR ratio, quality score, price distance from SuperTrend, proximity to support/resistance
Step 2: Similarity Matching (k-Nearest Neighbors)
• When new trend begins, system compares current conditions to ALL historical flips
• Calculates similarity score based on:
- Volume similarity (30% weight) - Is volume behaving similarly?
- Volatility similarity (30% weight) - Is ATR/volatility similar?
- Quality similarity (20% weight) - Is setup strength comparable?
- Distance similarity (10% weight) - Is price distance from ST similar?
- Support/Resistance proximity (10% weight) - Similar structural context?
• Selects the 15 MOST SIMILAR historical trends (not just all trends)
• This is like asking: "When conditions looked like this before, how long did trends last?"
Step 3: Statistical Analysis
• Calculates median duration (most common outcome)
• Calculates average duration (mean of similar trends)
• Determines realistic range (min to max of similar trends)
• Applies exponential weighting (recent trends weighted more heavily)
• Outputs confidence-weighted statistical estimate
Step 4: Advanced Intelligence (Advanced Mode Only)
The Advanced mode applies five sophisticated multipliers to refine estimates:
A) Market Structure Multiplier (±30%):
• Detects nearby support/resistance levels using pivot detection
• If flip occurs NEAR a key level: Estimate adjusted -30% (expect bounce/rejection)
• If flip occurs in open space: Estimate adjusted +30% (clear path for continuation)
• Uses configurable lookback period and ATR-based proximity threshold
B) Asset Type Multiplier (±40%):
• Adjusts duration estimates based on asset volatility characteristics
• Small Cap / Biotech: +40% (explosive, extended moves)
• Tech Growth: +20% (momentum-driven, longer trends)
• Blue Chip / Large Cap: 0% (baseline, steady trends)
• Dividend / Value: -20% (slower, grinding trends)
• Cyclical: Variable based on macro regime
• Crypto / High Volatility: +30% (parabolic potential)
C) Flip Strength Multiplier (±20%):
• Analyzes the QUALITY of the trend flip itself
• Strong flip (high volume + expanding ATR + quality score 60+): +20%
• Weak flip (low volume + contracting ATR + quality score under 40): -20%
• Logic: Historical data shows that powerful flips tend to be followed by longer trends
D) Error Learning Multiplier (±15%):
• Tracks Statistical accuracy over last 10 completed trends
• Calculates error ratio: (estimated duration / Actual Duration)
• If system consistently over-estimates: Apply -15% correction
• If system consistently under-estimates: Apply +15% correction
• Learns and adapts to current market regime
E) Regime Detection Multiplier (±20%):
• Analyzes last 3 trends of SAME TYPE (bull-to-bull or bear-to-bear)
• Compares recent trend durations to historical average
• If recent trends 20%+ longer than average: +20% adjustment (trending regime detected)
• If recent trends 20%+ shorter than average: -20% adjustment (choppy regime detected)
• Detects whether market is in trending or mean-reversion mode
Three analysis modes:
SIMPLE MODE - Basic Statistics
• Uses raw median of similar trends only
• No multipliers, no adjustments
• Best for: Beginners, clean trending markets
• Fastest calculations, minimal complexity
STANDARD MODE - Full Statistical Analysis
• Similarity matching with k-nearest neighbors
• Exponential weighting of recent trends
• Median, average, and range calculations
• Best for: Most traders, general market conditions
• Balance of accuracy and simplicity
ADVANCED MODE - Statistics + Intelligence
• Everything in Standard mode PLUS
• All 5 advanced multipliers (structure, asset type, flip strength, learning, regime)
• Highest Statistical accuracy in testing
• Best for: Experienced traders, volatile/complex markets
• Maximum intelligence, most adaptive
Visual Duration Analysis Box:
When a new trend begins (SuperTrend flip), a box appears on your chart showing:
• Analysis Mode (Simple / Standard / Advanced)
• Number of historical trends analyzed
• Median expected duration (most likely outcome)
• Average expected duration (mean of similar trends)
• Range (minimum to maximum from similar trends)
• Advanced multipliers breakdown (Advanced mode only)
• Backtest accuracy statistics (if available)
The box extends from the flip bar to the estimated endpoint based on historical data, giving you a visual target for trend duration. Box updates in real-time as trend progresses.
Backtest & Accuracy Tracking:
• System backtests its own duration estimates using historical data
• Shows accuracy metrics: how well duration estimates matched actual durations
• Tracks last 10 completed duration estimates separately
• Displays statistics in dashboard and duration analysis boxes
• Helps you understand statistical reliability on your specific symbol/timeframe
Anti-Repaint Guarantee:
• duration analysis boxes only appear AFTER bar close (barstate.isconfirmed)
• Historical duration estimates never disappear or change
• What you see in history is exactly what you would have seen real-time
• No future data leakage, no lookahead bias
2. INTELLIGENT PRESET CONFIGURATIONS - One-Click Optimization
Unlike indicators that require tedious parameter tweaking, this system includes professionally optimized presets for every trading style. Select your approach from the dropdown and ALL parameters auto-configure.
"AUTO (DETECT FROM TF)" - RECOMMENDED
The smartest option: automatically selects optimal settings based on your chart timeframe.
• 1m-5m charts → Scalping preset (ATR: 7, Mult: 2.0)
• 15m-1h charts → Day Trading preset (ATR: 10, Mult: 2.5)
• 2h-4h-D charts → Swing Trading preset (ATR: 14, Mult: 3.0)
• W-M charts → Position Trading preset (ATR: 21, Mult: 4.0)
Benefits:
• Zero configuration - works immediately
• Always matched to your timeframe
• Switch timeframe = automatic adjustment
• Perfect for traders who use multiple timeframes
"SCALPING (1-5M)" - Ultra-Fast Signals
Optimized for: 1-5 minute charts, high-frequency trading, quick profits
Target holding period: Minutes to 1-2 hours maximum
Best markets: High-volume stocks, major crypto pairs, active futures
Parameter Configuration:
• Supertrend: ATR 7, Multiplier 2.0 (very sensitive)
• Volume: MA 10, High 1.8x, Spike 3.0x (catches quick surges)
• Volume Momentum: AUTO-DISABLED (too restrictive for fast scalping)
• Quality minimum: 40 points (accepts more setups)
• Duration Analysis: Uses last 15 trends with heavy recent weighting
Trading Logic:
Speed over precision. Short ATR period and low multiplier create highly responsive SuperTrend. Volume momentum filter disabled to avoid missing fast moves. Quality threshold relaxed to catch more opportunities in rapid market conditions.
Signals per session: 5-15 typically
Hold time: Minutes to couple hours
Best for: Active traders with fast execution
"DAY TRADING (15M-1H)" - Balanced Approach
Optimized for: 15-minute to 1-hour charts, intraday moves, session-based trading
Target holding period: 30 minutes to 8 hours (within trading day)
Best markets: Large-cap stocks, major indices, established crypto
Parameter Configuration:
• Supertrend: ATR 10, Multiplier 2.5 (balanced)
• Volume: MA 20, High 1.5x, Spike 2.5x (standard detection)
• Volume Momentum: 5/20 periods (confirms intraday strength)
• Quality minimum: 50 points (good setups preferred)
• Duration Analysis: Balanced weighting of recent vs historical
Trading Logic:
The most balanced configuration. ATR 10 with multiplier 2.5 provides steady trend following that avoids noise while catching meaningful moves. Volume momentum confirms institutional participation without being overly restrictive.
Signals per session: 2-5 typically
Hold time: 30 minutes to full day
Best for: Part-time and full-time active traders
"SWING TRADING (4H-D)" - Trend Stability
Optimized for: 4-hour to Daily charts, multi-day holds, trend continuation
Target holding period: 2-15 days typically

3. QUALITY SCORING SYSTEM (0-70 Points)
Every signal is rated in real-time across three dimensions:
Volume Confirmation (0-30 points):
• Volume Spike (2.5x+ average): 30 points
• High Volume (1.5x+ average): 20 points
• Above Average (1.0x+ average): 10 points
• Below Average: 0 points
Volatility Assessment (0-30 points):
• Expanding ATR (1.2x+ average): 30 points
• Rising ATR (1.0-1.2x average): 15 points
• Contracting/Stable ATR: 0 points
Volume Momentum (0-10 points):
• Strong Momentum (1.2x+ ratio): 10 points
• Rising Momentum (1.0-1.2x ratio): 5 points
• Weak/Neutral Momentum: 0 points
Score Interpretation:
60-70 points - EXCELLENT:
• All factors aligned
• High conviction setup
• Maximum position size (within risk limits)
• Primary trading opportunities
45-59 points - STRONG:
• Multiple confirmations present
• Above-average setup quality
• Standard position size
• Good trading opportunities
30-44 points - GOOD:
• Basic confirmations met
• Acceptable setup quality
• Reduced position size
• Wait for additional confirmation or trade smaller
Below 30 points - WEAK:
• Minimal confirmations
• Low probability setup
• Consider passing
• Only for aggressive traders in strong trends
Only signals meeting your minimum quality threshold (configurable per preset) generate alerts and labels.
4. MULTI-TIMEFRAME CONFLUENCE ANALYSIS
The system can simultaneously analyze trend alignment across 6 timeframes (optional feature):
Timeframes analyzed:
• 5-minute (scalping context)
• 15-minute (intraday momentum)
• 1-hour (day trading bias)
• 4-hour (swing context)
• Daily (primary trend)
• Weekly (macro trend)
Confluence Interpretation:
• 5-6/6 aligned - Very strong multi-timeframe agreement (highest confidence)
• 3-4/6 aligned - Moderate agreement (standard setup)
• 1-2/6 aligned - Weak agreement (caution advised)
Dashboard shows real-time alignment count with color-coding. Higher confluence typically correlates with longer, stronger trends.
5. VOLUME MOMENTUM FILTER - Institutional Money Flow
Unlike traditional volume indicators that just measure size, Volume Momentum tracks the RATE OF CHANGE in volume:
How it works:
• Compares short-term volume average (fast period) to long-term average (slow period)
• Ratio above 1.0 = Volume accelerating (money flowing IN)
• Ratio above 1.2 = Strong acceleration (institutional participation likely)
• Ratio below 0.8 = Volume decelerating (money flowing OUT)
Why it matters:
• Confirms trend with actual money flow, not just price
• Leading indicator (volume often leads price)
• Catches accumulation/distribution before breakouts
• More intuitive than complex mathematical filters
Integration with signals:
• Optional filter - can be enabled/disabled per preset
• When enabled: Only signals with rising volume momentum fire
• AUTO-DISABLED in Scalping mode (too restrictive for fast trading)
• Configurable fast/slow periods per trading style
6. ADAPTIVE SUPERTREND MULTIPLIER
Traditional SuperTrend uses fixed ATR multiplier. This system dynamically adjusts the multiplier (0.8x to 1.2x base) based on:
• Trend Strength: Price correlation over lookback period
• Volume Weight: Current volume relative to average
Benefits:
• Tighter bands in calm markets (less premature exits)
• Wider bands in volatile conditions (avoids whipsaws)
• Better adaptation to biotech, small-cap, and crypto volatility
• Optional - can be disabled for classic constant multiplier
7. VISUAL GRADIENT RIBBON
26-layer exponential gradient fill between price and SuperTrend line provides instant visual trend strength assessment:
Color System:
• Green shades - Bullish trend + volume confirmation (strongest)
• Blue shades - Bullish trend, normal volume
• Orange shades - Bearish trend + volume confirmation
• Red shades - Bearish trend (weakest)
Opacity varies based on:
• Distance from SuperTrend (farther = more opaque)
• Volume intensity (higher volume = stronger color)
The ribbon provides at-a-glance trend strength without cluttering your chart. Can be toggled on/off.
8. INTELLIGENT ALERT SYSTEM
Two-tier alert architecture for flexibility:
Automatic Alerts:
• Fire automatically on BUY and SELL signals
• Include full context: quality score, volume state, volume momentum
• One alert per bar close (alert.freq_once_per_bar_close)
• Message format: "BUY: Supertrend bullish + Quality: 65/70 | Volume: HIGH | Vol Momentum: STRONG (1.35x)"
Customizable Alert Conditions:
• Appear in TradingView's "Create Alert" dialog
• Three options: BUY Signal Only, SELL Signal Only, ANY Signal (BUY or SELL)
• Use TradingView placeholders: {{ticker}}, {{interval}}, {{close}}, {{time}}
• Fully customizable message templates
All alerts use barstate.isconfirmed - Zero repaint guarantee.
9. ANTI-REPAINT ARCHITECTURE
Every component guaranteed non-repainting:
• Entry signals: Only appear after bar close
• duration analysis boxes: Created only on confirmed SuperTrend flips
• Informative labels: Wait for bar confirmation
• Alerts: Fire once per closed bar
• Multi-timeframe data: Uses lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off
What you see in history is exactly what you would have seen in real-time. No disappearing signals, no changed duration estimates.

• Aggressive: Aim for MAX duration from range (best historical outcome)
Position Management:
• Scale out at median duration (take partial profits)
• Trail stop as trend extends beyond median
• Full exit at average duration or SuperTrend flip (whichever comes first)
• Re-evaluate if trend exceeds estimated range
analysis mode Selection:
• Simple: Clean trending markets, beginners, minimal complexity
• Standard: Most markets, most traders (recommended default)
• Advanced: Volatile markets, complex instruments, experienced traders seeking highest accuracy
Asset Type Configuration (Advanced Mode):
If using Advanced analysis mode, configure Asset Type for optimal accuracy:

• Biotech / Speculative: Clinical-stage pharma, penny stocks, high-risk
• Blue Chip / Large Cap: S&P 500, mega-cap tech, stable large companies
• Tech Growth: High-growth tech (TSLA, NVDA, growth SaaS)
• Dividend / Value: Dividend aristocrats, value stocks, utilities
• Cyclical: Energy, materials, industrials (macro-driven)
• Crypto / High Volatility: Bitcoin, altcoins, highly volatile assets
Correct asset type selection improves Statistical accuracy by 15-20%.
RISK MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES:
1. Stop Loss Placement:
Long positions:
• Place stop below recent swing low OR
• Place stop below SuperTrend level (whichever is tighter)
• Use 1-2 ATR distance as guideline
• Recommended: SuperTrend level (built-in volatility adjustment)
Short positions:
• Place stop above recent swing high OR
• Place stop above SuperTrend level (whichever is tighter)
• Use 1-2 ATR distance as guideline
• Recommended: SuperTrend level
2. Position Sizing by Quality Score:
• Excellent (60-70): Maximum position size (2% risk per trade)
• Strong (45-59): Standard position size (1.5% risk per trade)
• Good (30-44): Reduced position size (1% risk per trade)
• Weak (Below 30): Pass or micro position (0.5% risk - learning trades only)
3. Exit Strategy Options:
Option A - Statistical Duration-Based Exit:
• Exit at median estimated duration (conservative)
• Exit at average estimated duration (moderate)
• Trail stop beyond average duration (aggressive)
Option B - Signal-Based Exit:
• Exit on opposite signal (SELL after BUY, or vice versa)
• Exit on SuperTrend flip (trend reversal)
• Exit if quality score drops below 30 mid-trend
Option C - Hybrid (Recommended):
• Take 50% profit at median estimated duration
• Trail stop on remaining 50% using SuperTrend as trailing level
• Full exit on SuperTrend flip or quality collapse
4. Trade Filtering:
For higher win-rate (fewer trades, better quality):
• Increase minimum quality score (try 60 for swing, 50 for day trading)
• Enable volume momentum filter (ensure institutional participation)
• Require higher MTF confluence (5-6/6 alignment)
• Use Advanced analysis mode with appropriate asset type
For more opportunities (more trades, lower quality threshold):
• Decrease minimum quality score (40 for day trading, 35 for scalping)
• Disable volume momentum filter
• Lower MTF confluence requirement
• Use Simple or Standard analysis mode

• If system consistently over-estimates: Applies negative correction (-15%)
• If system consistently under-estimates: Applies positive correction (+15%)
• Adapts to current market regime automatically
This self-correction mechanism improves accuracy over time as the system gathers more data on your specific symbol and timeframe.
3. Regime Detection (Advanced analysis mode Only)
Automatically detects whether market is in trending or choppy regime:
• Compares last 3 trends to historical average
• Recent trends 20%+ longer → Trending regime (+20% to estimates)
• Recent trends 20%+ shorter → Choppy regime (-20% to estimates)
• Applied separately to bullish and bearish trends
Helps duration estimates adapt to changing market conditions without manual intervention.
4. Exponential Weighting
Option to weight recent trends more heavily than distant history:
• Default decay factor: 0.9
• Recent trends get higher weight in statistical calculations
• Older trends gradually decay in importance
• Rationale: Recent market behavior more relevant than old data
• Can be disabled for equal weighting
5. Backtest Statistics
System backtests its own duration estimates using historical data:
• Walks through past trends chronologically
• Calculates what duration estimate WOULD have been at each flip
• Compares to actual duration that occurred
• Displays accuracy metrics in duration analysis boxes and dashboard
• Helps assess statistical reliability on your specific chart
Note: Backtest uses only data available AT THE TIME of each historical flip (no lookahead bias).

KNOWN LIMITATIONS
• Trending Markets Only: Performs best in clear trends. May generate false signals in choppy/sideways markets (use quality score filtering and regime detection to mitigate)
• Lagging Nature: Like all trend-following systems, signals occur AFTER trend establishment, not at exact tops/bottoms. Use duration analysis boxes to set realistic profit targets.
• Initial Learning Period: Duration analysis system requires 10-15 completed trends to build reliable historical database. Early duration estimates less accurate (first few weeks on new symbol/timeframe).
• Visual Load: 26-layer gradient ribbon may slow performance on older devices. Disable ribbon if experiencing lag.
• Statistical accuracy Variables: Duration estimates are statistical estimates, not guarantees. Accuracy varies by:
- Market regime (trending vs choppy)
- Asset volatility characteristics
- Quality of historical pattern matches
- Timeframe traded (higher TF = more reliable)
• Not Best Suitable For:
- Ultra-short-term scalping (sub-1-minute charts)
- Mean-reversion strategies (designed for trend-following)
- Range-bound trading (requires trending conditions)
- News-driven spikes (estimates based on technical patterns, not fundamentals)
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Does this indicator repaint?
A: Absolutely not. All signals, duration analysis boxes, labels, and alerts use barstate.isconfirmed checks. They only appear after the bar closes. What you see in history is exactly what you would have seen in real-time. Zero repaint guarantee.
Q: How accurate are the trend duration estimates?
A: Accuracy varies by mode, market conditions, and historical data quality:
• Simple mode: 60-70% accuracy (within ±20% of actual duration)
• Standard mode: 70-80% accuracy (within ±20% of actual duration)
• Advanced mode: 75-85% accuracy (within ±20% of actual duration)
Best accuracy achieved on:
• Higher timeframes (4H, Daily, Weekly)
• Trending markets (not choppy/sideways)
• Assets with consistent behavior (Blue Chip, Large Cap)
• After 20+ historical trends analyzed (builds robust database)
Remember: All duration estimates are statistical calculations based on historical patterns, not guarantees.
Q: Which analysis mode should I use?
A:
• Simple: Beginners, clean trending markets, want minimal complexity
• Standard: Most traders, general market conditions (RECOMMENDED DEFAULT)
• Advanced: Experienced traders, volatile/complex markets (biotech, small-cap, crypto), seeking maximum accuracy
Advanced mode requires correct Asset Type configuration for optimal results.
Q: What's the difference between the trading style presets?
A: Each preset optimizes ALL parameters for a specific trading approach:
• Scalping: Ultra-sensitive (ATR 7, Mult 2.0), more signals, shorter holds
• Day Trading: Balanced (ATR 10, Mult 2.5), moderate signals, intraday holds
• Swing Trading: Stable (ATR 14, Mult 3.0), fewer signals, multi-day holds
• Position Trading: Very stable (ATR 21, Mult 4.0), rare signals, week/month holds
Auto mode automatically selects based on your chart timeframe.
Q: Should I use Auto mode or manually select a preset?
A: Auto mode is recommended for most traders. It automatically matches settings to your timeframe and re-optimizes if you switch charts. Only use manual preset selection if:
• You want scalping settings on a 15m chart (overriding auto-detection)
• You want swing settings on a 1h chart (more conservative than auto would give)
• You're testing different approaches on same timeframe
Q: Can I use this for scalping and day trading?
A: Absolutely! The preset system is specifically designed for all trading styles:
• Select "Scalping (1-5m)" for 1-5 minute charts
• Select "Day Trading (15m-1h)" for 15m-1h charts
• Or use "Auto" mode and it configures automatically
Volume momentum filter is auto-disabled in Scalping mode for faster signals.
Q: What is Volume Momentum and why does it matter?
A: Volume Momentum compares short-term volume (fast MA) to long-term volume (slow MA). It answers: "Is money flowing into this asset faster now than historically?"
Why it matters:
• Volume often leads price (early warning system)
• Confirms institutional participation (smart money)
• No lag like price-based indicators
• More intuitive than complex mathematical filters
When the ratio is above 1.2, you have strong evidence that institutions are accumulating (bullish) or distributing (bearish).
Q: How do I set up alerts?
A: Two options:
Option 1 - Automatic Alerts:
1. Right-click on chart → Add Alert
2. Condition: Select this indicator
3. Choose "Any alert() function call"
4. Configure notification method (app, email, webhook)
5. You'll receive detailed alerts on every BUY and SELL signal
Option 2 - Customizable Alert Conditions:
1. Right-click on chart → Add Alert
2. Condition: Select this indicator
3. You'll see three options in dropdown:
- "BUY Signal" (long signals only)
- "SELL Signal" (short signals only)
- "ANY Signal" (both BUY and SELL)
4. Choose desired option and customize message template
5. Uses TradingView placeholders: {{ticker}}, {{close}}, {{time}}, etc.
All alerts fire only on confirmed bar close (no repaint).
Q: What is Scalpel Mode and should I use it?
A: Scalpel Mode waits for healthy pullbacks within established trends before signaling entry. It reduces whipsaws and improves entry timing.
Recommended ON for:
• Swing traders (want precision entries on pullbacks)
• Day traders (willing to wait for better prices)
• Risk-averse traders (prefer fewer but higher-quality entries)
Recommended OFF for:
• Scalpers (need immediate entries, can't wait for pullbacks)
• Momentum traders (want to enter on breakout, not pullback)
• Aggressive traders (prefer more opportunities over precision)
Q: Why do some duration estimates show wider ranges than others?
A: Range width reflects historical trend variability:
• Narrow range: Similar historical trends had consistent durations (high confidence)
• Wide range: Similar historical trends had varying durations (lower confidence)
Wide ranges often occur:
• Early in analysis (fewer historical trends to learn from)
• In volatile/choppy markets (inconsistent trend behavior)
• On lower timeframes (more noise, less consistency)
The median and average still provide useful targets even when range is wide.
Q: Can I customize the dashboard position and appearance?
A: Yes! Dashboard settings include:
• Position: 9 options (Top/Middle/Bottom + Left/Center/Right)
• Text Size: Auto, Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, Huge
• Show/Hide: Toggle entire dashboard on/off
Choose position that doesn't overlap important price action on your specific chart.
Q: Which timeframe should I trade on?
A: Depends on your trading style and time availability:
• 1-5 minute: Active scalping, requires constant monitoring
• 15m-1h: Day trading, check few times per session
• 4h-Daily: Swing trading, check once or twice daily
• Daily-Weekly: Position trading, check weekly
General principle: Higher timeframes produce:
• Fewer signals (less frequent)
• Higher quality setups (stronger confirmations)
• More reliable duration estimates (better statistical data)
• Less noise (clearer trends)
Start with Daily chart if new to trading. Move to lower timeframes as you gain experience.
Q: Does this work on all markets (stocks, crypto, forex)?
A: Yes, it works on all markets with trending characteristics:
Excellent for:
• Stocks (especially growth and momentum names)
• Crypto (BTC, ETH, major altcoins)
• Futures (indices, commodities)
• Forex majors (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, etc.)
Best results on:
• Trending markets (not range-bound)
• Liquid instruments (tight spreads, good fills)
• Volatile assets (clear trend development)
Less effective on:
• Range-bound/sideways markets
• Ultra-low volatility instruments
• Illiquid small-caps (use caution)
Configure Asset Type (in Advanced analysis mode) to match your instrument for best accuracy.
Q: How many signals should I expect per day/week?
A: Highly variable based on:
By Timeframe:
• 1-5 minute: 5-15 signals per session
• 15m-1h: 2-5 signals per day
• 4h-Daily: 2-5 signals per week
• Daily-Weekly: 1-2 signals per month
By Market Volatility:
• High volatility = more SuperTrend flips = more signals
• Low volatility = fewer flips = fewer signals
By Quality Filter:
• Higher threshold (60-70) = fewer but better signals
• Lower threshold (30-40) = more signals, lower quality
By Volume Momentum Filter:
• Enabled = Fewer signals (only volume-confirmed)
• Disabled = More signals (all SuperTrend flips)
Adjust quality threshold and filters to match your desired signal frequency.
Q: What's the difference between entry labels and info labels?
A:
Entry Labels (BUY/SELL):
• Your primary trading signals
• Based on SuperTrend flip + all confirmations (quality, volume, momentum)
• Include quality score and confirmation icons
• These are actionable entry points
Info Labels (Volume Spike):
• Additional market context
• Show volume events that may support or contradict trend
• 8-bar cooldown to prevent spam
• NOT necessarily entry points - contextual information only
Control separately: Can show entry labels without info labels (recommended for clean charts).
Q: Can I combine this with other indicators?
A: Absolutely! This works well with:
• RSI: For divergences and overbought/oversold conditions
• Support/Resistance: Confluence with key levels
• Fibonacci Retracements: Pullback targets in Scalpel Mode
• Price Action Patterns: Flags, pennants, cup-and-handle
• MACD: Additional momentum confirmation
• Bollinger Bands: Volatility context
This indicator provides trend direction and duration estimates - complement with other tools for entry refinement and additional confluence.
Q: Why did I get a low-quality signal? Can I filter them out?
A: Yes! Increase the Minimum Quality Score in settings.
If you're seeing signals with quality below your preference:
• Day Trading: Set minimum to 50
• Swing Trading: Set minimum to 60
• Position Trading: Set minimum to 70
Only signals meeting the threshold will appear. This reduces frequency but improves win-rate.
Q: How do I interpret the MTF Confluence count?
A: Shows how many of 6 timeframes agree with current trend:
• 6/6 aligned: Perfect agreement (extremely rare, highest confidence)
• 5/6 aligned: Very strong alignment (high confidence)
• 4/6 aligned: Good alignment (standard quality setup)
• 3/6 aligned: Moderate alignment (acceptable)
• 2/6 aligned: Weak alignment (caution)
• 1/6 aligned: Very weak (likely counter-trend)
Higher confluence typically correlates with longer, stronger trends. However, MTF analysis is optional - you can disable it and rely solely on quality scoring.
Q: Is this suitable for beginners?
A: Yes, but requires foundational knowledge:
You should understand:
• Basic trend-following concepts (higher highs, higher lows)
• Risk management principles (position sizing, stop losses)
• How to read candlestick charts
• What volume and volatility mean
Beginner-friendly features:
• Auto preset mode (zero configuration)
• Quality scoring (tells you signal strength)
• Dashboard tooltips (hover for explanations)
• duration analysis boxes (visual profit targets)
Recommended for beginners:
1. Start with "Auto" or "Swing Trading" preset on Daily chart
2. Use Standard Analysis Mode (not Advanced)
3. Set minimum quality to 60 (fewer but better signals)
4. Paper trade first for 2-4 weeks
5. Study methodology references (Minervini, O'Neil, Zanger)
Q: What is the Asset Type setting and why does it matter?
A: Asset Type (in Advanced analysis mode) adjusts duration estimates based on volatility characteristics:
• Small Cap: Explosive moves, extended trends (+30-40%)
• Biotech / Speculative: Parabolic potential, news-driven (+40%)
• Blue Chip / Large Cap: Baseline, steady trends (0% adjustment)
• Tech Growth: Momentum-driven, longer trends (+20%)
• Dividend / Value: Slower, grinding trends (-20%)
• Cyclical: Macro-driven, variable (±10%)
• Crypto / High Volatility: Parabolic potential (+30%)
Correct configuration improves Statistical accuracy by 15-20%. Using Blue Chip settings on a biotech stock may underestimate trend length (you'll exit too early).
Q: Can I backtest this indicator?
A: Yes! TradingView's Strategy Tester works with this indicator's signals.
To backtest:
1. Note the entry conditions (SuperTrend flip + quality threshold + filters)
2. Create a strategy script using same logic
3. Run Strategy Tester on historical data
Additionally, the indicator includes BUILT-IN duration estimate validation:
• System backtests its own duration estimates
• Shows accuracy metrics in dashboard and duration analysis boxes
• Helps assess reliability on your specific symbol/timeframe
Q: Why does Volume Momentum auto-disable in Scalping mode?
A: Scalping requires ultra-fast entries to catch quick moves. Volume Momentum filter adds friction by requiring volume confirmation before signaling, which can cause missed opportunities in rapid scalping.
Scalping preset is optimized for speed and frequency - the filter is counterproductive for that style. It remains enabled for Day Trading, Swing Trading, and Position Trading presets where patience improves results.
You can manually enable it in Custom mode if desired.
Q: How much historical data do I need for accurate duration estimates?
A:
Minimum: 50-100 bars (indicator will function but duration estimates less reliable)
Recommended: 500+ bars (robust statistical database)
Optimal: 1000+ bars (maximum Statistical accuracy)
More history = more completed trends = better pattern matching = more accurate duration estimates.
New symbols or newly-switched timeframes will have lower Statistical accuracy initially. Allow 2-4 weeks for the system to build historical database.

Reversal Score System v3 [Rulph]RSS3 - Reversal Score System v3
RSS3 is a multi-component reversal detection system that quantifies momentum exhaustion and trend weakness through a normalized Score from -1 (maximum bullish pressure) to +1 (maximum bearish pressure). It is designed to work across crypto, stocks, forex and futures, from intraday to 4H/D timeframes.
A full article with real trade examples (BTC, NVDA, GBP/USD, E-mini S&P) is available here:
How to Make 18% in a Week: RSS3 Reversal Trading Across 4 Markets
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
CORE COMPONENTS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. Volatility Pressure Index (VPI)
VPI measures market stress using a composite of:
• RSI deviation from the neutral 50 level (directional momentum bias)
• Annualized volatility (VIX-style) to detect volatility expansion
• Normalized candle range vs recent history
• Price position relative to Bollinger Bands (statistical extension)
These inputs are weighted and normalized into a single pressure reading:
• High VPI → overbought stress zone
• Low VPI → oversold compression zone
Concept: VPI answers " Is the market stretched beyond sustainable levels? "
Example: BTC 15m bearish with high VPI before the drop
2. Trend Direction Force Index (TDFI)
TDFI measures directional trend strength using:
• Spread between a fast MMA and a slower SMMA (trend acceleration/deceleration)
• Average impulse between the two MAs (momentum persistence)
• Normalized trend strength with a weighting scheme
• Positive TDFI → bullish directional pressure
• Negative TDFI → bearish directional pressure
• Extreme values (> 0.7 or < -0.7) highlight overextended trends
Concept: TDFI answers " How strong is the current directional move, and is it overextended? "
Example: ES 4H showing strong TDFI before reversal
3. Final Score
The final Score combines VPI and TDFI with divergence bonuses:
Score = (VPI_weight × VPI) + (TDFI_weight × TDFI) - Bull_Div_Bonus + Bear_Div_Bonus
Key ideas:
• VPI and TDFI are first normalized, then combined
• Divergences modulate Score via bonuses/penalties
• Recent and stronger divergences have more influence (decaying over time)
This produces a single, continuous measure of reversal pressure from -1 to +1.
Example: Score swinging from extreme bearish to extreme bullish zones
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
DIVERGENCES AND SEQUENTIAL LABELS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
RSS3 automatically detects classic divergences separately for VPI and TDFI:
• Bullish divergence: price makes a lower low, indicator makes a higher low
• Bearish divergence: price makes a higher high, indicator makes a lower high
Each divergence is tracked for:
• VPI (v-series)
• TDFI (t-series)
Sequential labeling:
• v1, v2, v3... = 1st, 2nd, 3rd VPI divergence in the current direction
• t1, t2, t3... = 1st, 2nd, 3rd TDFI divergence in the current direction
• v2t1 = double divergence (2nd VPI + 1st TDFI on the same pivot)
The sequence resets when direction changes (bullish → bearish or vice versa).
This allows you to distinguish:
• early warnings (v1/t1)
• reinforced late-stage signals (v3, v4, …)
• strong confluence (vXtY double divergences)
Example: Sequential v/t labels building up before a major reversal
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
MULTI‑TIMEFRAME FILTER (MTF)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The MTF filter uses a higher timeframe to control counter-trend entries:
Modes:
• Off – no filtering
• Reduce – divergence bonus is reduced when signal is against HTF trend
• Block – counter-trend divergences are completely hidden
Use cases:
• On intraday charts, use 4H/D as HTF to avoid shorting strong uptrends
• On 4H, use Daily/Weekly as HTF context for swing trades
This protects capital by avoiding low-probability mean-reversion attempts in strong trends.
Example: BTC 1h counter-trend signals filtered by MTF (grayed out)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW TO USE RSS3
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Typical entry logic:
1. Wait for a divergence (green = bullish, red = bearish)
2. Check Score:
• |Score| > 0.5 → stronger, higher-confidence signal
• Score near ±1.0 → extreme exhaustion zone
3. Optionally wait +2 bars after divergence to confirm the pivot
Typical exits:
• Conservative: opposite divergence appears
• More aggressive: Score crosses through 0 or reaches the opposite ±0.5 zone
• Always combine with a volatility-based stop (e.g., 2–3 × ATR)
Recommended timeframes:
• 5–15m: active intraday/swing setups
• 1–4h: swing trading
• D/W: position trading
RSS3 is not a complete trading strategy. It is an advanced reversal and exhaustion engine intended to be combined with:
• support/resistance
• volume/flow tools
• existing trend or breakout systems
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT MAKES RSS3 ORIGINAL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
RSS3 is not a simple mashup of standard indicators. It introduces:
• Composite volatility index (VPI) combining RSI deviation, volatility, range and Bollinger position
• Composite trend force index (TDFI) based on MA spread and impulse
• Unified Score from -1 to +1 for reversal strength
• Decay-weighted divergence bonuses with amplitude sensitivity
• Dual-source divergences (VPI + TDFI) with sequential v/t labeling
• MTF-aware filtering that can reduce or block counter-trend signals

RSS3 - Reversal Score System v3 (Система оценки разворотов)
RSS3 — это многокомпонентная система поиска разворотов, которая количественно оценивает истощение импульса и ослабление тренда через нормализованный Score от -1 (максимальное бычье давление) до +1 (максимальное медвежье давление). Индикатор рассчитан на работу с криптовалютами, акциями, форексом и фьючерсами на разных таймфреймах — от интрадей до 4H/D.
Подробная статья с реальными примерами сделок на NVTK, BTCUSDT и CNY/RUB доступна здесь:
Как заработать 18% за неделю на разворотах: система RSS3
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
КЛЮЧЕВЫЕ КОМПОНЕНТЫ
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. Volatility Pressure Index (VPI)
VPI измеряет "напряжение" рынка через комбинацию:
• отклонения RSI от нейтрального уровня 50 (направленный моментум)
• годовой волатильности (по типу VIX) — фиксирует расширение волатильности
• нормализованного диапазона свечей относительно недавней истории
• положения цены относительно полос Боллинджера (статистическое перерастяжение)
Все компоненты взвешиваются и нормализуются в единый индекс давления:
• высокий VPI → зона перекупленности и стресса
• низкий VPI → зона перепроданности и сжатия
Идея: VPI отвечает на вопрос " насколько рынок перерастянут относительно нормального состояния? ".
Пример: NVTK 1H — медвежья дивергенция VPI перед падением
2. Trend Direction Force Index (TDFI)
TDFI оценивает силу направленного движения через:
• расхождение между быстрой MMA и более медленной SMMA (ускорение/замедление тренда)
• средний импульс между двумя скользящими (устойчивость импульса)
• нормализованную силу тренда с весовой схемой
• положительный TDFI → бычье направленное давление
• отрицательный TDFI → медвежье направленное давление
• экстремальные значения (> 0.7 или < -0.7) показывают чрезмерно растянутый тренд
Идея: TDFI отвечает на вопрос " насколько силён текущий тренд и не заходит ли он слишком далеко? ".
Пример: NVTK 1h — сильный TDFI
3. Финальный Score
Финальный Score объединяет VPI и TDFI с учётом бонусов за дивергенции:
Score = (VPI_weight × VPI) + (TDFI_weight × TDFI) - Bull_Div_Bonus + Bear_Div_Bonus
Основные идеи:
• VPI и TDFI предварительно нормализуются
• дивергенции корректируют Score через бонусы/штрафы
• более свежие и сильные дивергенции дают больший вклад (с затуханием во времени)
Результат — единый непрерывный индикатор давления на разворот в диапазоне от -1 до +1.
Пример: BTCUSDT 2H — переход Score из медвежьей зоны в бычью
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ДИВЕРГЕНЦИИ И ПОСЛЕДОВАТЕЛЬНЫЕ МЕТКИ v/t
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
RSS3 автоматически определяет классические дивергенции отдельно для VPI и TDFI:
• бычья дивергенция — цена делает более низкий минимум, индикатор — более высокий минимум
• медвежья дивергенция — цена делает более высокий максимум, индикатор — более низкий максимум
Для каждой дивергенции ведутся отдельные счётчики:
• для VPI — последовательность v1, v2, v3…
• для TDFI — последовательность t1, t2, t3…
Примеры маркировки:
• v1 — первая дивергенция VPI в текущем направлении
• t2 — вторая дивергенция TDFI
• v2t1 — двойная дивергенция (2‑я VPI + 1‑я TDFI на одном пивоте)
Счётчики сбрасываются при смене направления (бычья → медвежья и наоборот).
Это позволяет отличать:
• ранние сигналы-предупреждения (v1/t1)
• поздние, усиленные сигналы (v3, v4 и далее)
• зоны сильной конфлюенции (vXtY двойные дивергенции)
Пример: CNY/RUB 15m — накопление v/t меток перед разворотом
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
МУЛЬТИ-ТАЙМФРЕЙМОВЫЙ ФИЛЬТР (MTF)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
MTF-фильтр использует старший таймфрейм, чтобы уменьшать или блокировать контртрендовые сигналы.
Режимы:
• Off — фильтрация отключена
• Reduce — сила дивергенции против старшего тренда уменьшается
• Block — контртрендовые дивергенции полностью скрываются
Примеры:
• на 15m/30m — использовать 4H/D как старший ТФ
• на 1H/4H — использовать Daily/Weekly для свинг-позиций
Это помогает не лезть против сильного тренда только потому, что локально появилась дивергенция.
Пример: NVTK 1H — MTF-фильтр блокирует контртрендовые сигналы (серые маркеры)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
КАК ИСПОЛЬЗОВАТЬ RSS3
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Вход:
1) дождаться дивергенции (зелёный треугольник — бычья, красный — медвежья)
2) проверить Score:
• |Score| > 0.5 усиливает значимость сигнала
• значения около ±1.0 указывают на экстремальные зоны истощения
3) при необходимости подождать +2 бара после дивергенции для подтверждения пивота
Выход:
• консервативно — по дивергенции в обратную сторону
• агрессивнее — при пересечении Score через 0 или выходе в противоположную зону ±0.5
• стоп-лосс — от волатильности (например, 2–3 × ATR)
Рекомендуемые таймфреймы:
• 5–15m — активный интрадей/свинг (подходит для CNY/RUB и других ликвидных инструментов)
• 1H — акции типа NVTK, связка с MTF-фильтром по 2H/4H
• 2H–4H — BTCUSDT и фьючерсы для свинг-позиций
RSS3 — это не готовая стратегия, а продвинутый модуль поиска разворотов и зон истощения, который лучше всего работает в связке:
• с уровнями поддержки/сопротивления,
• объёмными/ордерфлоу-индикаторами,
• трендовыми и пробойными системами.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ЧТО ДЕЛАЕТ RSS3 ОРИГИНАЛЬНЫМ
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
RSS3 — это не просто "микс" стандартных индикаторов. В нём реализованы:
• составной волатильностный индекс VPI (RSI-отклонение, волатильность, диапазон, полосы Боллинджера)
• составной трендовый индекс TDFI (спред и импульс между скользящими средними)
• единый Score от -1 до +1 для оценки силы разворота
• бонусы за дивергенции с учётом амплитуды и затухания во времени
• двойные дивергенции (VPI + TDFI) с последовательной маркировкой v/t
• MTF-фильтр, который может ослаблять или полностью блокировать контртрендовые сигналы

Multi-Timeframe Trend MA&BB Suite: 6x Moving Averages by Jenn.ioMulti-Timeframe Trend MA & BB Suite: 6x Moving Averages + 5x MTF View by Jenn.io
Indicator Overview
This indicator is a comprehensive, all-in-one trend and volatility tool designed for traders who rely on Moving Averages (MAs) and Bollinger Bands (BBs). It stands out by allowing users to plot up to six fully customized MAs on the current chart, while simultaneously projecting the values of those same MAs from up to five higher timeframes (MTF).
It's the essential tool for top-down analysis and identifying high-probability confluence zones.
Key Features and Customization
1. The Core: 6x MAs and Bollinger Bands: six Independent MAs: Plot up to six separate Moving Averages on your current chart. Each MA is fully customizable in terms of:
Type: Choose from SMA, EMA, SMMA (RMA), WMA, or VWMA.
Source and Length: Set the calculation source (Close, Open, etc.) and the lookback period.
Style: Customize color, thickness, and line style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted).
Integrated Bollinger Bands (BB): Includes standard Bollinger Bands with customization for length, standard deviation, MA type, and the option to enable or disable the band fill color.
2. Advanced: Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Projection
a. 5x MTF Timeframes: The user can enable and fully customize up to five distinct higher timeframes (e.g., Daily, Weekly, Monthly, 4H, 15m).
b. Dynamic MTF Visualization: The indicator fetches the value of the 6 MAs from these higher timeframes and displays them on the current chart using one of three customizable modes:
Extended Mode: Projects the MTF MA value as a continuous line extending to the right, simulating where the MA is moving on the higher chart.
Floating Segment: Draws a short, visible line segment near the current price action, showing the MA value without cluttering the whole chart.
Floating Label: Displays the MA value as a text label anchored to the right of the current bar, providing clean, non-obtrusive data.
Recommended Usage
1. MTF Confluence: Look for instances where the MTF MA lines align closely with the MAs or BBs of your current timeframe. These areas represent strong support/resistance zones.
2. Trend Filter: Use the Extended Mode MTF lines to quickly determine the higher-timeframe trend without changing your chart. For example, if the Daily 200 EMA is above the current price, the bias is bearish.
3. Precision Entries: Use the Floating Label Mode to see the precise MA value from a higher timeframe. This is useful for placing limit orders near key structural levels.
Kio IQ [TradingIQ]Introducing: “Kio IQ ”
Kio IQ is an all-in-one trading indicator that brings momentum, trend strength, multi-timeframe analysis, trend divergences, pullbacks, early trend shift signals, and trend exhaustion signals together in one clear view.
🔶 The Philosophy of Kio IQ
Markets move in trends—and capturing them reliably is the key to consistency in trading. Without a tool to see the bigger picture, it’s easy to mistake a pullback for a breakout, a fakeout for the real deal, or random market noise as a meaningful price move.
Kio IQ cuts through that random market noise—scanning multiple timeframes, analyzing short, medium, and long-term momentum, and telling you on the spot whether a move is strong, weak, a trap, or simply a small move within a larger trend.
With Kio IQ, price action reveals its next move.
You’ll instantly see:
Which way it’s pushing — up, down, or stuck in the middle.
How hard it’s pushing — from fading weakness to full-blown strength.
When the gears are shifting — early warnings, explosive moves, smart pullbacks, or signs it’s running out of steam.
🔶 Why This Matters
Markets move in phases—sometimes they’re powering in one direction, sometimes they’re slowing down, and sometimes they’re reversing.
Knowing which phase you’re in can help you:
Avoid chasing a move that’s about to run out of steam.
Jump on a move when it’s just getting started.
Spot pullbacks inside a bigger trend (good for entries).
See when different timeframes are all pointing the same way.
🔶 What Kio IQ Shows You
Simple color-coded phases: “Strong Up,” “Up,” “Weak Up,” “Weak Down,” “Down,” “Strong Down.”
Clear visual signals
Full Shift: Strong momentum in one direction.
Half Shift: Momentum is building but not full power yet.
Pullback Shift: A small move against the trend that may be ending.
Early Scout / Lookout: First hints of a possible shift.
Exhaustion: Momentum is very stretched and may slow down.
Divergences: When price moves one way but momentum moves the opposite way—often a warning of a change.
Multi-Timeframe Table: See the trend strength for multiple timeframes (5m, current, 30m, 4h, 1D, and optional 1W/1M) all in one place.
Trend Strength %: A single number that tells you how strong the trend is across all timeframes.
Optional meters: A “momentum bar” and “trend strength gauge” for quick checks.
🔶 How It Works Behind the Scenes
Kio IQ measures price movement in different “speeds”:
Slow view: Big picture trend.
Medium view: The main engine for detecting the current phase.
Fast view: Catches recent changes in momentum.
Super-fast view: Finds tiny pullbacks inside the bigger move.
It compares these views to decide whether the market is strong up, weak up, weak down, strong down, or in between. Then it blends data from multiple timeframes so you see the whole picture, not just the current chart.
🔶 What You’ll See on the Chart
🔷 Full Shift Oscillator (FSO)
The image above highlights the Full Shift Oscillator (FSO).
The FSO is the cornerstone of Kio IQ, delivering mid-term momentum analysis. Using a proprietary formula, it captures momentum on a smooth, balanced scale — responsive enough to avoid lag, yet stable enough to prevent excessive noise or false signals.
The Key Upside Level for the FSO is +20, while the Key Downside Level is -20.
The image above shows the FSO above +20 and below -20, and the corresponding price movement.
FSML above +20 confirms sustained upside momentum — the market is being driven by consistent, broad-based buying pressure, not just a price spike.
FSML below -20 confirms sustained downside momentum — sellers are firmly in control across the market.
We do not chase the first sudden price move. Entries are only considered when the market demonstrates persistence, not impulse.
🔷 Half Shift Oscillator (HSO)
The image above highlights the Half Shift Oscillator (HSO).
The HSO is the FSO’s wingman — faster, more reactive, and designed to catch the earliest signs of strength, weakness, or momentum shifts.
While HSO reacts first, it is not a standalone confirmation of a major momentum change or trade-worthy strength.
Using the same proprietary formula as the FSO but scaled down, the HSO delivers smooth, balanced short-term momentum analysis. It is more responsive than the FSO, serving as the scout that spots potential setups before the main signal confirms.
The Key Upside Level for the FSO is +4, while the Key Downside Level is -4.
🔷 PlayBook Strategy: Shift Sync
Shift Sync is a momentum alignment play that triggers when short-term and mid-term momentum lock into the same direction, signaling strong directional control.
🔹 UpShift Sync – Bullish Alignment
HSO > +4 – Short-term momentum is firmly bullish.
FSO > +20 – Mid-term momentum confirms the bullish bias.
When both thresholds are met, buyers are in control and price is primed for continuation higher.
🔹 DownShift Sync – Bearish Alignment
HSO < -4 – Short-term momentum is firmly bearish.
FSO < -20 – Mid-term momentum confirms the bearish bias.
When both thresholds are met, sellers dominate and price is primed for continuation lower.
Execution:
Look for an entry opportunity in the direction of the alignment when conditions are met.
Avoid choppy conditions where alignment is frequently lost.
Why It Works
Think of the market as a tug-of-war between traders on different timeframes. Short-term traders (captured by the HSO) are quick movers — scalpers, intraday players, and algos hunting immediate edge. Mid-term traders (captured by the FSO) are swing traders, funds, and institutions who move slower but carry more weight.
Most of the time, these groups pull in opposite directions, creating chop and fakeouts. But when they suddenly lean the same way, the rope gets yanked hard in one direction. That’s when momentum has the highest chance to drive price further with minimal resistance.
Shift Sync works because it isolates those rare moments when multiple market “tribes” agree on direction — and when they do, price doesn’t just move, it flies.
Best Market Conditions
Shift Sync works best when the higher timeframe trend (daily, weekly, or monthly) is moving in the same direction as the alignment. This higher timeframe confluence increases follow-through potential and reduces the likelihood of false moves.
The image above shows an example of an UpShift Sync signal where the momentum table shows that the 1D momentum is bullish.
The image above shows bonus confluence, where the 1M and 1W momentum are also bullish.
The image above shows an example of a DownShift Sync signal where the momentum table shows that the 1D momentum is bearish. Bonus confluence also exists, where the 1W and 1M chart are also bearish.
Common Mistakes
Chasing late signals – Avoid entering if the Shift Sync trigger has been active for a long time. Instead, wait for a Shift Sync Pullback to look for opportunities to join in the direction of the trend.
Ignoring higher timeframe bias – Taking Shift Sync setups against the daily, weekly, or monthly trend reduces follow-through potential and increases the risk of a failed move.
🔷 Micro Shift Oscillator (MSO)
The image above highlights the Micro Shift Oscillator (MSO)
The MSO is the finishing touch to the FSO and HSO — the fastest and most reactive of the three. It’s built to spot pullback opportunities when the FSO and HSO are aligned, helping traders join strong price moves at the right time.
The MSO may reveal the earliest signs of a momentum shift, but that’s not its primary role. Its purpose is to identify retracement and pullback opportunities within the overarching trend, allowing traders to join the move while momentum remains intact.
🔷 Playbook Strategy: Shift Sync Pullback
Key Levels:
MSO Upside Trigger: +3
MSO Downside Trigger: -3
🔹 UpShift Pullback
Momentum Confirmation:
FSO > +20 – Mid-term momentum is strongly bullish.
HSO > +4 – Short-term momentum confirms alignment with the FSO.
Pullback Trigger:
MSO ≤ -3 – Signals a short-term retracement within the ongoing bullish trend and marks the earliest re-entry opportunity.
Entry Zone:
The blue arrow on the top chart shows where momentum remains intact while price pulls back into a zone primed for a move higher.
Setup Validity: Both FSO and HSO must remain above their bullish thresholds during the pullback.
Invalid Example:
If either the FSO or HSO drop below their bullish thresholds, momentum alignment breaks. No trade is taken.
🔹 DownShift Pullback
Momentum Confirmation:
FSO < -20 – Mid-term momentum is strongly bearish.
HSO < -4 – Short-term momentum aligns with the FSO, confirming seller dominance.
Pullback Trigger:
MSO ≥ +3 – Indicates a short-term retracement against the bearish trend, pointing to possible short-entry opportunities.
Entry Zone:
The purple arrow on the top chart marks valid pullback conditions — all three oscillators meet their bearish thresholds, and price is positioned to continue lower.
Setup Validity: Both FSO and HSO must remain below their bearish thresholds during the pullback.
Invalid Example:
If either oscillator rises above the bearish threshold, momentum alignment is lost and the MSO signal is ignored.
Why It Works
Even in strong trends, price rarely moves in a straight line. Supply and demand dynamics naturally create retracements as traders take profits, bet on reversals, or hedge positions.
While many momentum traders fear these pullbacks, they’re often the fuel for the next leg of the move — offering a “second chance” to join the trend at a more favorable price.
The Shift Sync Pullback pinpoints moments when both short-term (HSO) and mid-term (FSO) momentum remain firmly aligned, even as price moves temporarily against the trend. This alignment suggests the retracement is a pause, not a reversal.
By entering during a controlled pullback, traders often secure better entries, tighter stops, and stronger follow-through potential when the trend resumes.
Best Market Conditions:
Works best when the higher timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly) is trending in the same direction as the pullback setup.
Consistent momentum is ideal — avoid erratic, news-driven chop.
Following a recent breakout (Gate Breaker setup) when momentum is still fresh.
Common Mistakes
Ignoring threshold breaks – Entering when either HSO or FSO dips through their momentum threshold often leads to taking trades in weakening trends.
Trading against higher timeframe bias – A pullback against the daily or weekly trend is more likely to fail; use higher timeframe confluence as a filter.
🔷 Macro Shift Oscillator (MaSO)
The chart above shows the MaSO in isolation.
While the MaSO is not part of any active Kio IQ playbook strategies, it delivers the clearest view of the prevailing macro trend.
MaSO > 0 – Macro trend is bullish. Readings above +4 signal extreme bullish conditions.
MaSO < 0 – Macro trend is bearish. Readings below -4 signal extreme bearish conditions.
Use the MaSO for context, not entries — it frames the environment in which all other signals occur
🔷 Shift Gates – Kio IQ Momentum Barriers
The image above shows UpShift Gates.
UpShift Gates mark the highest price reached during periods when the FSO is above +20 — moments when mid-term momentum is firmly bullish and buyers are in control.
UpShift Gates are upside breakout levels — key swing highs formed before a pullback during periods of strong bullish momentum. When price reclaims an UpShift Gate with momentum confirmation, it signals a potential continuation of the uptrend.
The image above shows DownShift Gates.
DownShift Gates Mark The Lowest Price Reached During Periods When The FSO Is Below -20 — Moments When Mid-Term Momentum Is Firmly Bearish And Sellers Are In Control.
DownShift Gates are downside breakout levels — key swing lows formed before an upside pullback during periods of strong bearish momentum. When price reclaims a DownShift Gate with momentum confirmation, it signals a potential continuation of the downtrend.
🔷 Playbook Strategy: Gate Breakers
Core Rule:
Long signal when price decisively closes beyond an UpGate (for longs) or DownGate (for shorts). The breakout must show commitment — no wick-only tests.
🔹 UpGate Breaker (UpGate)
Trigger: Price closes above the UpShift Gate level.
Bonus Confluence: MaSO > 0 at the moment of the break — confirms that the macro trend bias is in favor of the breakout.
Invalidation: Avoid taking the signal if the gate level forms part of a DownShift Rift (bearish divergence) — this signals underlying weakness despite the break.
The chart above shows valid UpGate Breakers.
The chart above shows an invalidated UpGate Breaker setup.
🔹 DownGate Breaker (DownGate)
Trigger: Price closes below the DownShift Gate level.
Bonus Confluence: MaSO < 0 at the moment of the break — confirms that the macro trend bias is in favor of the breakdown.
Invalidation: Avoid taking the trade if the gate level forms part of an UpShift Rift (bullish divergence) — this signals underlying strength despite the break.
The chart above shows a valid DownGate Breaker.
Why It Works
Key swing levels like Shift Gates attract a high concentration of resting orders — stop losses from traders caught on the wrong side and breakout orders from momentum traders waiting for confirmation.
When price decisively clears a gate with a strong close, these orders trigger in quick succession, creating a burst of directional momentum.
Adding the MaSO filter ensures you’re breaking gates with the prevailing macro bias, improving the odds that the move will continue rather than stall.
The divergence-based invalidation rule (Rift filter) prevents entries when underlying momentum is moving in the opposite direction, helping avoid “fake breakouts” that trap traders.
Best Market Conditions:
Works best in markets with clear trend structure and visible Shift Gates (not during chop).
Strongest when higher timeframe (1D, 1W, 1M) momentum aligns with the breakout direction.
MaSO > 0 for bullish breakouts, MaSO < 0 for bearish breakouts
Most reliable after a period of consolidation near the gate, where pressure builds before the break.
Common Mistakes
Trading wick-only tests – A breakout without a decisive candle close beyond the gate often fails.
Ignoring MaSO bias – Taking a break in the opposite macro direction greatly reduces follow-through odds.
Skipping the Rift filter – Entering when the gate forms part of a divergence setup exposes you to higher reversal risk.
Chasing extended moves – If price is already far beyond the gate by the time you see it, risk/reward is poor; wait for the next setup or a retest.
🔷 Shift Rifts - Kio IQ Divergences
This chart shows an UpShift Rift — a bullish divergence where price action and momentum part ways, signaling a potential trend reversal or acceleration.
Setup:
Price Action: Price is marking lower lows, indicating short-term weakness.
FSO Reading: The Full Shift Oscillator (FSO) is marking higher lows over the same period, showing underlying momentum strengthening despite falling prices.
The rift between price and the FSO suggests selling pressure is losing force while buyers quietly regain control.
When confirmed by broader trend alignment in Kio IQ’s multi-timeframe momentum table, the UpShift Rift becomes a setup for a bullish move.
This chart shows a DownShift Rift — a bearish divergence where price action and momentum split, signaling a potential downside reversal.
Setup:
Price Action: Price is marking higher highs, suggesting continued strength on the surface.
FSO Reading: The Full Shift Oscillator (FSO) is marking lower highs over the same period, revealing weakening momentum beneath the price advance.
The rift between price and momentum signals that buying pressure is fading, even as price makes new highs. This disconnect often precedes a momentum shift in favor of sellers.
When aligned with multi-timeframe bearish signals in Kio IQ’s momentum table, the DownShift Rift becomes a strong setup for downside continuation or reversal.
🔷 Playbook Strategy: Rift Reversal
The Rift Reversal is a divergence-based reversal play that signals when momentum is fading and an trend reversal is likely. It’s designed to catch early turning points before the broader market catches on.
Trader’s Note:
This strategy is not intended for beginners — it requires confidence in reading divergence and trusting momentum shifts even when price action still appears weak. Best suited for traders experienced in managing reversals, as entries often occur before the broader market confirms the move.
🔹 UpRift Reversal
Core Setup:
Price Action – Forms a lower low.
Momentum Rift – The FSO forms a higher low, signaling bullish divergence and weakening selling pressure.
Trigger:
A confirmed UpRift Reversal signal is printed when:
Bullish Divergence is detected — price makes a new low, but the oscillator fails to confirm.
Momentum begins turning up from the divergence low (marked on chart as ⇝)
The image above shows a valid UpRift Reversal play.
🔹 DownRift Reversal
Core Setup:
Price Action – Forms a higher high.
Momentum Rift – The FSO forms a lower high, signaling bearish divergence and weakening buying pressure.
Trigger
A confirmed DownRift Reversal signal is printed when:
Bearish Divergence is detected — price makes a new high, but the oscillator fails to confirm.
Momentum begins turning down from the divergence high (marked on chart as ⇝).
Why It Works
Shift Rifts work because momentum often fades before a price reverses.
Price is the final scoreboard — it reflects what has already happened. Momentum, on the other hand, is a leading indicator of pressure. When the FSO begins to move in the opposite direction of price, it signals that the dominant side in the market is losing steam, even if the scoreboard hasn’t flipped yet.
In an UpShift Rift, sellers keep pushing price lower, but each push has less force — buyers are quietly building pressure under the surface.
In a DownShift Rift, buyers keep marking new highs, but they’re spending more effort for less result — sellers are starting to take control.
These disconnects happen because large participants often scale into or out of positions gradually, creating momentum shifts before price reflects it. Shift Rifts capture those turning points early.
Best Market Conditions:
Best in markets that have been trending strongly but are starting to show signs of exhaustion.
Works well after a prolonged move into key support/resistance, where large players may take profits or reverse positions.
Higher win potential when the Rift aligns with higher timeframe momentum bias in Kio IQ’s multi-timeframe table.
Common Mistakes
Forcing Rifts in choppy markets – In sideways chop, small oscillations can look like divergences but lack conviction.
Ignoring multi-timeframe bias – Trading an UpShift Rift when higher timeframes are strongly bearish (or vice versa) reduces follow-through odds.
Entering too early – Divergences can extend before reversing; wait for momentum to confirm a turn (⇝) before making a trading decision.
Confusing normal pullbacks with Rifts – Not every dip in momentum is a divergence; the Rift requires a clear and opposing trend between price and FSO.
🔷 Shift Count – Momentum Stage Tracker
Purpose:
Shift Count measures how far a bullish or bearish push has progressed, from its first spark to potential exhaustion.
It tracks momentum in defined steps so traders can instantly gauge whether a move is just starting, picking up steam, fully extended, or at risk of reversing.
How It Works
Bullish Momentum:
Start (1–2) → New momentum emerging, early entry window.
Acceleration (3–4) → Momentum in full swing, best for holding or adding to a position.
Extreme Bullish Momentum / Final Stages (5) → Watch for signs of reversal or take partial profits.
Exhaust – Can only occur after 5 is reached, signaling that the rally may be losing steam.
Bearish Momentum:
Start (-1 to -2) → New selling pressure emerging.
Acceleration (-3 to -4) → Bear trend accelerating.
Extreme Bearish Momentum / Final Stages (-5) → Watch for reversal or scale out.
Exhaust – Can only occur after -5 is reached, signaling that the sell-off may be running out of force.
The chart above shows a full 5-UpShift count.
The chart above shows a full 5-DownShift count.
Why It’s Useful
Markets often move in momentum “steps” before reversing or taking a breather.
Shift Count makes these steps visible, helping traders:
Spot the early stages of a potential move.
Identify when a move is picking up steam.
Identify when a move is mature and vulnerable to reversal.
Combine with other Kio IQ strategies for better-timed entries and exits.
Why This Works
It’s visually obvious where you are in the momentum cycle without overthinking.
You can build rules like:
Only enter in Start phase when higher timeframe agrees.
Manage positions aggressively once in Acceleration phase.
Be ready to exit or fade in Exhaust phase.
Best Market Conditions
Trending markets where pullbacks are shallow.
Works best when combined with Shift Sync Pullback or Gate Breaker triggers to confirm timing.
Higher timeframe direction confluence.
Common Mistakes
Treating Exhaust as always a reversal — sometimes strong markets push past 5/-5 multiple times.
Ignoring higher timeframe bias — a “Start” on a 1-minute chart against a strong daily trend is much riskier.
🔷 Playbook Strategy: Exhaust Flip
Core idea: When Shift Count reaches 5 (or -5) and then prints Exhaust, momentum has likely climaxed, whether temporarily or leading to a full reversal. We take the first qualified signal against the prior move.
Trader’s Note:
This strategy is not intended for beginners — it requires confidence in trusting momentum shifts even when price action still appears strong. Best suited for traders experienced in managing reversals, as entries often occur before the broader market confirms the move.
🔹 UpExhaust Flip (fade a bullish run)
Setup:
Shift Count hits 5, then an Exhaust print occurs.
Invalidation
The local high is broken to the upside.
The chart above explains the UpExhaust Flip strategy in greater detail.
🔹 DownExhaust Flip (fade a bearish run)
Setup:
Shift Count hits -5, then an Exhaust print occurs.
Invalidation
The local low is broken to the downside.
The chart above explains the DownExhaust Flip strategy in greater detail.
Bonus Confluence (optional, not required)
Rift assist: An UpShift Rift (for longs) or DownShift Rift (for shorts) near Exhaust strengthens the flip.
MaSO context: Neutral or opposite-leaning MaSO helps. Avoid flips straight against a strong MaSO bias unless you have a structure break.
Why It Works
Exhaust marks climax behavior: the prior side has pushed hard, then failed to extend after meeting significant pushback. Liquidity gets thin at the edges; aggressive profit-taking meets early contrarians. A small confirmation (micro structure break or HSO turn) is often enough to flip the tape for a snapback.
Best Market Conditions
After extended, one-sided runs (multiple Shift Count steps without meaningful pullbacks).
Near Shift Gates or obvious swing extremes where trapped orders cluster.
When higher-timeframe momentum is neutral or softening (you’re fading the last thrust of a decisive move, not a fresh trend).
Common Mistakes
Fading too early: Taking the trade at 5 without waiting for the Exhaust.
Fading freight trains: Fighting a fresh Shift Sync in the same direction right after Exhaust (often just a pause).
No structure reference: Entering without a clear micro swing to anchor risk.
🔷 MTF Shift Table
The MTF Shift Table table provides a compact, multi-timeframe view of market momentum shifts. Each cell represents the current shift count within a given timeframe, while the classification label indicates whether momentum is strong, weak, or normal.
The chart above further outlines the MTF Shift Table.
Why It Works
Markets rarely move in a perfectly linear fashion — momentum develops, stalls, and transitions at different speeds across different timeframes. This table allows you to:
See momentum alignment at a glance – If multiple higher and lower timeframes show a sustained shift count in the same direction, the move has greater structural support.
Spot divergences early – A shorter timeframe reversing against a longer-term sustained count can warn of potential pullbacks or trend exhaustion before price confirms.
Identify “momentum stacking” opportunities – When shift counts escalate across timeframes in sequence, it often signals a stronger and more durable move.
Avoid false enthusiasm – A single timeframe spike without agreement from other periods may be noise rather than genuine momentum.
The Trend Score provides a concise, at-a-glance evaluation of an asset’s directional strength across multiple timeframes. It distills complex momentum and Shift data into a single, easy-to-read metric, allowing traders to quickly determine whether the prevailing conditions favor bullish or bearish continuation. The Trend Scale scales from -100 to 100.
How to Use It in Practice
Trend Confirmation – Confirm that your intended trade direction is backed by multiple timeframes maintaining consistent momentum.
Risk Timing – Reduce position size or take partial profits when lower timeframes begin shifting against the dominant momentum classification.
Multi-timeframe Confluence – Combine with other system signals (e.g., FSO, HSO) for higher-probability entries.
This table effectively turns a complex multi-timeframe read into a single, glanceable heatmap of momentum structure, enabling quicker and more confident decision-making.
The MTF Shift Table is the confluence backbone of every playbook strategy for Kio IQ.
🔷 Momentum Meter
The Momentum Meter is a composite gauge built from three of Kio IQ’s core momentum engines:
HSO – Short-term momentum scout
FSO – Mid-term momentum backbone
MaSO – Macro trend context
By combining these three readings, the meter provides the most strict and lagging momentum classification in Kio IQ.
It only flips direction when a composite score of all three oscillators reach defined thresholds, filtering out short-lived counter-moves and false starts.
Why It Works
Many momentum tools flip too quickly — reacting to short-lived spikes that don’t represent real directional commitment. The Momentum Meter avoids this by requiring alignment across short, mid, and macro momentum engines before it shifts bias.
This triple-confirmation rule filters out noise, catching only those moments when traders of all speeds — scalpers, swing traders, and long-term participants — are leaning in the same direction. When that happens, price movement tends to be more sustained and less prone to immediate reversal.
In other words, the Momentum Meter doesn’t just tell you “momentum looks good” — it tells you momentum looks good to everyone who matters, across all horizons.
How It Works
Blue = All three engines align bullish.
Pink = All three engines align bearish.
The meter ignores smaller pullbacks or temporary oscillations that might flip the faster indicators — it waits for total alignment before changing state.
Because of this strict confirmation requirement, the Momentum Meter reacts slower but delivers higher-conviction shifts.
How to Interpret Readings
Blue (Bullish Alignment):
Sustained buying pressure across short, mid, and macro views. Often marks the “full confirmation” stage of a move.
Pink (Bearish Alignment):
Sustained selling pressure across all views. Confirms sellers are in control.
Practical Uses
Trend Followers – Use as a “stay-in” confirmation once a position is already open.
Swing Traders – Great for filtering out low-conviction setups; if the Momentum Meter disagrees with your intended direction, conditions aren’t fully aligned.
Confluence and Direction Filter – The Momentum Meter can be used as a form of confluence i.e. blue = longs only, pink = shorts only.
Limitations
Will always turn after the faster oscillators (HSO/MSO). This is intentional.
Works best in trending markets — in choppy conditions it may lag shifts significantly.
Should be used as a bias filter, not a standalone entry signal.
🔷 Trend Strength Meter
The Trend Strength Meter is a compact visual gauge that scores the current trend’s strength on a scale from -5 to +5:
+5 = Extremely strong bullish trend
0 = Neutral, no clear trend
-5 = Extremely strong bearish trend
This is an optional tool in Kio IQ — designed for quick reference rather than as a primary trading trigger.
Why it works
Single-indicator trend reads can be misleading — they might look strong on one metric while quietly weakening on another. The Trend Strength Meter solves this by blending multiple inputs (momentum alignment, structure persistence, and multi-timeframe data) into one composite score.
This matters because trend health isn’t just about direction — it’s about persistence. A +5 or -5 score means the market is not only trending but holding that trend with structural support across multiple timeframes.
By tracking both direction and staying power, the Trend Strength Meter flags when a move is at risk of fading before price action fully confirms it — giving you a head start on adjusting your position or taking profits.
How It Works
The Trend Strength Meter evaluates multiple market inputs — including momentum alignment, price structure, and persistence — to assign a numeric value representing how firmly the current move is holding.
The scoring logic:
Positive values indicate bullish conditions.
Negative values indicate bearish conditions.
Higher magnitude (closer to ±5) = stronger conviction in that direction.
Values near zero suggest the market is in a transition or range.
How to Interpret Readings
+4 to +5 (Strong Up) – Trend is well-established, often with multi-timeframe agreement.
+1 to +3 (Up) – Bullish bias present, but not at maximum conviction.
0 (Neutral) – No dominant trend; could be consolidation or pre-shift phase.
-1 to -3 (Down) – Bearish bias present but moderate.
-4 to -5 (Strong Down) – Trend is firmly bearish, with consistent downside momentum.
Why It Works
A single timeframe or momentum reading can give a false sense of trend health.
The Trend Strength Meter aggregates multiple layers of market data into one simplified score, making it easy to see whether a move has the underlying support to continue — or whether it’s more likely to stall.
Because the score considers both direction and persistence, it can flag when a move is losing strength even before price structure fully shifts.
🔷 Kio IQ – Supplemental Playbook Strategies
These phases are part of the Kio IQ Playbook—situational tools that can help you anticipate potential momentum changes.
While they can be useful for planning and tactical adjustments, they are not primary trade triggers and should be treated as early, lower-conviction cues.
🔹 1. Scouting Phase (Light Early Cue)
Purpose: Provide the earliest possible hint that momentum may be shifting.
Upshift Trigger: FSO crosses above the 0 line.
Downshift Trigger: FSO crosses below the 0 line.
Why It Works
The 0 line in the Full Shift Oscillator (FSO) acts as a neutral momentum boundary.
When the FSO moves above 0, it suggests that medium-term momentum has shifted to bullish territory.
When it moves below 0, it suggests that medium-term momentum has shifted to bearish territory.
This crossover is often the first measurable sign of a momentum reversal or acceleration, well before slower indicators confirm it.
Think of it as "momentum poking its head above water"—you’re spotting the change before it becomes obvious on price alone.
Best Use
Works best when confirmed later by Lookout Phase or other primary Kio IQ signals.
Ideal for scouting in anticipation of potential opportunities.
Helpful when monitoring multiple assets and you want a quick filter for shifts worth watching.
Can act as a trade trigger when the MTF Shift Table shows confluence (i.e., UpShift Scouting Signal + Bullish MTF Table + High Trend Strength Score).
Common Mistakes
Acting on Scouting Phase signals against the MTF Shift Table as a stand-alone trade trigger. Without higher timeframe alignment or additional confirmation, many Scouting Phase crossovers can fade quickly or reverse, leading to premature entries.
Ignoring market context
A bullish Scouting Phase in a strong downtrend can easily fail.
Always check higher timeframe trend alignment.
Overreacting to noise: On lower timeframes, small fluctuations can create false scouting signals.
Best Practices
Filter with trend: Only act on Scouting Phases that align with the dominant higher timeframe trend.
Watch volatility: In low-volatility conditions, false scouting triggers are more likely.
🔹 2. Lookout Phase (Early Momentum Alert)
Purpose:
The Lookout Phase signals an early alert that momentum is potentially strengthening in a given direction. It’s more meaningful than the Scouting Phase, but still considered a preliminary cue.
Triggers:
Upshift: FSO crosses above the HSO.
Downshift: FSO crosses below the HSO.
Why It Works:
The Lookout Phase is designed to identify moments when mid-term momentum (FSO) overtakes short-term momentum (HSO). Since the FSO is smoother and reacts more gradually, its crossover of the faster-reacting HSO can indicate a shift from short-lived fluctuations to a more sustained directional move.
This makes it a valuable early read on momentum transitions—especially when supported by higher-timeframe context.
Best Practices:
Always check the MTF Shift Table for higher-timeframe alignment before acting on a Lookout Phase signal.
Look for confluence with the Momentum Meter
Treat Lookout Phase entries as probing positions—small, exploratory trades that can be scaled into if follow-through develops.
Common Mistakes:
Treating Lookout Phase signals as a definitive trade trigger without context
Entering solely on a Lookout Phase crossover, without considering the MTF Shift Table or broader market structure, can result in chasing short-lived momentum bursts that fail to follow through.
Ignoring prevailing higher-timeframe momentum
Trading a Lookout Phase signal that is counter to the dominant trend or higher-timeframe bias increases the risk of whipsaws and false moves.

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

Dix$ons Tackle BoxDixsons Tackle Box — Multi-Tool Trend & Levels Suite (MA/EMA + VWAP + BB + Adaptive Trend Channels + Auto Fibs)
---
**Dixsons Tackle Box** is an all-in-one overlay for traders who want a clean chart with *stacked edge* instead of stacked indicators.
It combines:
* A **5-slot MA/EMA pack** with live slope % labels and MTF smoothing
* A **full VWAP engine** with event-based anchors, trend angle coloring, and VWAP bands
* **Bollinger Bands** with volatility-aware coloring and optional gradient background
* A **Short-Term & Long-Term Adaptive Trend Channel (ATC)** with automatic period detection, log-regression channels, and performance tables
* A **Dixson Auto Fibonacci suite**: ATR-based “rail” Fibs + Lookback Fibs off HH/LL, both driving a shared, fully customizable Fib bank
Everything is controlled logically by feature groups under the **“Tackle Box”** section, so you can quickly turn modules on/off and tune the tool to your style (scalp, intraday, swing, or position).
> **Important:** This is an analysis/visualization tool only. Nothing here is financial advice or an automatic trading system. Always test and manage risk yourself.
---
## 1. MA/EMA Pack — 5 Smart Averages with Slope %
**Group:** `Tackle Box` + per-slot groups `MA/EMA 1` … `MA/EMA 5`
**Main toggle:** `Enable MA's`
**Per-slot master row:** `_maRow1` … `_maRow5`
### What it does
This module gives you **five independent MA/EMA slots**, each with:
* Its own **type** (MA or EMA)
* **Length**, **color**, **line width**, and **plot style** (`Solid`, `Step`, or `Circles`)
* **Timeframe per slot** (MTF)
* Rich **label controls** (slope %, length/type text, timeframe text, etc.)
* **Label size** per slot (`tiny → huge`)
On top of that, each average has a **live slope % readout**, normalized by instrument tick size, so you can compare trend steepness across assets.
### Key features
* **Master slot row (1–5):**
In the `Tackle Box` group you have `_maRow1`–`_maRow5` toggles. These gate each slot globally, so you can quickly show/hide specific MAs without digging into each slot.
* **MTF Smoothed Mode:**
* `MTF Smoothed Mode` (on by default) makes higher-timeframe MAs **update only when the HTF bar closes (and on the last bar)**.
* That reduces the stair-stepping noise you often get when pulling HTF data onto an LTF chart, while still giving you accurate levels and a smooth, tradeable line.
* **Per-slot label text controls:**
Each MA group has toggles to control exactly what the label shows:
* `Show Label` – show/hide label entirely
* `Slope` – append slope % to the label
* `Len+Type` – show e.g. `50EMA` or `200MA`
* `TF` – show HTF name if the slot is on an MTF
* `'slope' text` – optionally include the word `slope` in the label
* **Slope % (angle) logic:**
Slope for each MA uses a normalized **“angle %” in **, based on the 1-bar change vs `syminfo.mintick`.
* Big positive values = strong uptrend
* Big negative values = strong downtrend
* Near zero = flat/neutral
This makes it easy to build rules like:
* “Only trade long if the **50EMA slope** is above +20% and price is above VWAP”
* “Take profit if slope on my faster MA collapses back toward 0.”
### Typical use
* Slot 1–2: **fast intraday EMAs** (e.g., 9 / 20 EMA)
* Slot 3–4: **structural EMAs/MAs** (e.g., 50 / 200)
* Slot 5: a **dedicated MTF trend filter** (e.g., 5-minute or 1-hour EMA on a 1-minute chart)
---
## 2. VWAP Engine + Bands — Anchor-Aware, Angle-Aware VWAP
**Group:** `Enable VWAP` + `------ VWAP Settings ------`, `Bands Settings`, `Color Settings`
### Core VWAP
* **Anchors:**
`Anchor Period` lets you choose where each VWAP reset starts:
* `Session` (day session VWAP, perfect for intraday)
* `Week`, `Month`, `Quarter`, `Year`, `Decade`, `Century`
* Corporate events: `Earnings`, `Dividends`, `Splits`
This lets you build VWAP logic around:
* **Intraday mean reversion** (Session VWAP + bands)
* **Swing anchor VWAPs** (Weekly/Monthly)
* **Event-based anchors** (earnings/dividend/split reaction)
* **Hide on DWM:**
`Hide VWAP on 1D or Above` lets you keep intraday VWAP from cluttering higher-TF charts.
* **Angle/Trend Detection:**
The VWAP engine computes a **regression slope** over each anchor segment and converts it to an **angle %**:
* `Angle Lookback (bars)` controls how many bars are used
* `Angle Trend Threshold (%)` sets the threshold where a slope is considered “trending”
With `Color VWAP by Trend` enabled:
* Uptrend > threshold → VWAP turns **trend up color** (e.g., lime)
* Downtrend < −threshold → VWAP turns **trend down color** (e.g., red)
* Inside threshold → VWAP uses a neutral color
You can also set separate **line widths** for neutral vs trend state and transparency to give a “Hull-style” visual feel.
* **VWAP Labels:**
You get a single, de-duplicated VWAP label on the last bar with:
* Optional **name** (`VWAP`)
* Optional **price** (`$xxx.xx`)
* Optional **angle %** and optional `"slope"` word
* Global **label size** for VWAP + bands
### VWAP Bands
* **Calc modes:**
`Bands Calculation Mode`:
* `Standard Deviation` – classic VWAP ± n * σ
* `Percentage` – bands as a fixed % of VWAP
* **Bands 1-3:**
Each band has:
* Visibility toggle, independent multiplier (`×`)
* Separate **upper/lower colors** per band
* Optional **fill** between upper/lower for each band
* Label toggles:
* `Show All Labels`
* `Show Band #X Label`
* `Band Labels: Show Names` (VWAP+1, VWAP-1, etc.)
* `Band Labels: Show Prices`
This lets you configure anything from a minimalist “just VWAP + 1 band” view to a full 3-band ladder.
### VWAP Highlight Fill
* **Premium/discount shading**:
Optional fill that shades:
* Region **above VWAP** when price is above (e.g., greenish)
* Region **below VWAP** when price is below (e.g., reddish)
This makes it extremely easy to see when price is trading at **premium vs discount** relative to the current anchor VWAP.
### Typical use
* Intraday scalpers: Session VWAP + 1–2 bands + highlight fill
* Swing traders: Weekly/Monthly VWAP + only the main line and label
* Event traders: Earnings-anchored VWAP, tracking post-earnings drift
---
## 3. Bollinger Bands — Volatility-Aware BB with Gradient Fill
**Group:** `Enable Bollinger Bands` + `------ Bollinger Band settings ------`
### What it adds
A clean Bollinger Band overlay designed to play nicely with the VWAP/MA stack:
* `Bollinger Bands Length` (default 20)
* `Bollinger Bands Multiplier` (default 2.0)
* `BB Basis Color` & **line width**
* Upper/lower bands colored based on **width change**:
* Expanding volatility → `BB Expanding Color`
* Contracting volatility → `BB Contracting Color`
You can also toggle:
* `Show Center Line MA Label` – prints something like `20ma` on the last bar.
* `Enable Gradient Background Fill` – draws a gradient between price and the bands:
* `Gradient Fill Up Color` for below-price fill
* `Gradient Fill Down Color` for above-price fill
### Why it’s unique here
Instead of just static bands, this implementation **flags volatility regimes** (expansion vs contraction) via color and optional gradient. That pairs nicely with ATR Fibs and VWAP:
* Use **BB contraction (squeeze)** + flat VWAP angle to anticipate breakouts.
* Use BB + VWAP bands to filter which “touches” are genuinely overextended.
---
## 4. Dixson Adaptive Trend Channel (ATC) — Short-Term & Long-Term Log Channels
**Master toggle:** `Enable Adaptive Trend Channel`
**Groups:** `------ Dixson ATC Settings ------`, `Short-Term Channel Settings`, `Long-Term Channel Settings`, `Short-Term Midline Settings`, `Long-Term Midline Settings`, `Channel Trend Background Fill Settings`, `Short-Term Table Settings`, `Long-Term Table Settings`
### Under the hood
ATC is a **log-scale regression channel engine** that automatically:
1. Scans a set of candidate periods.
* **Short-term:** 20 → 200 bars
* **Long-term:** 300 → 1200 bars
2. For each period, it computes:
* Log-price regression slope & intercept
* Standard deviation of residuals
* A Pearson-style R value (trend “strength”)
3. Picks the period with the **highest correlation (|R|)** and uses that as the **detected trend length**.
This yields a **data-driven channel** that adapts to whatever trend the market is actually respecting.
> For long-term stats, annualized return only makes sense on **daily/weekly** charts. On intraday charts, treat the “Annual Return” purely as informational.
### Short-Term Channel
Controls in `Short-Term Channel Settings` + `Short-Term Midline Settings`:
* `Show Short-Term Channel` – on/off
* `Deviation Multiplier (Short-Term)` – how wide the channel is (in standard deviations)
* **Upper/Lower colors**, line width, style (Solid/Dotted/Dashed), transparency
* `Line Extension Style` – Extend Right / Extend Both / Extend None / Extend Left
Optional **Short-Term Midline**:
* Toggle + color, style, width, transparency
* Tracks the regression line itself (center of the channel)
Background fill:
* `Enable ST Background Fill` with separate **ST Uptrend** / **ST Downtrend** colors
* Trend direction is inferred from regression slope sign
### Long-Term Channel
Mirrors the ST controls with its own group:
* `Show Long-Term Channel`
* `Deviation Multiplier (Long-Term)`
* Upper/Lower channel colors, thickness, style, transparency
* `Line Extension Style`
* Optional Long-Term midline + colors/styles
* Optional **background fill** with separate colors for up vs down
You can run **both channels at once**, giving a panel of:
* **Macro trend structure** (Long-Term ATC)
* **Current swing trend** (Short-Term ATC)
* MAs, VWAP, and Auto Fibs on top for entries/exits
### Trend Info Tables
Each channel has its own table options:
* `Show Detected Period` (bars used)
* `Show Trend Strength` – either:
* Descriptive text: “Extremely Weak” → “Ultra Strong”, or
* Raw Pearson R value if `Show Pearson R` is enabled
* `Show Annualized Return` (when timeframe is daily/weekly)
* Table position (`Top Left`, `Bottom Right`, etc.)
* Text size (`Small`, `Normal`, `Large`)
These tables quantify:
* Over what lookback the trend is being measured
* How “clean” that trend is
* What the approximate annualized performance of that trend has been
---
## 5. Dixson Auto Fibonacci Suite — ATR Fibs + Lookback Fibs + Shared Fib Bank
**Master toggle:** `Enable Auto Fibonacci`
**Groups:** `Dixson Auto Fibonacci`, `ATR Auto Fib`, `Previous ATR Fib`, `Lookback Auto Fib`, `Lookback Anchor Overrides`, `Fibonacci Levels`
You get **two separate engines** (ATR-based and Lookback-based) that both draw from the **same customizable Fib bank**, with optional log scaling.
---
### 5.1 Global Auto Fib Settings
* `Logarithmic Scale`
* When ON, Fib levels are interpolated in log-space (better for assets that move in percentages).
* When OFF, interpolation is linear in price.
This applies to **both** the ATR and Lookback engines.
---
### 5.2 ATR Auto Fib (Rail-Based, Supertrend-Driven)
**Groups:** `ATR Auto Fib`, `Previous ATR Fib`
The ATR engine builds **“rails”** that hug price without letting candles touch them, then projects Fib levels between these anchors.
#### How it works
1. Uses built-in `ta.supertrend` with:
* `ATR Period`
* `ATR Multiplier`
2. Builds dynamic **upper and lower rails** around price:
* Uses ATR to define a **proximity gap** (`Proximity (×ATR)`) so rails stay **just outside the wicks** (no-touch behavior).
* Smooths raw highs/lows slightly (RMA) to avoid spiky rails.
* Ensures the upper rail is always ≥ high+gap and lower rail ≤ low−gap.
3. The **direction** (uptrend/downtrend) is inferred from the Supertrend direction:
* On trend flips, the script:
* Captures the prior rail pair as a **“previous segment”**
* Starts a new rail segment in the new direction
4. From these rails, the script draws **directional Fib “ladders”**:
* For the **current ATR Fib**:
* The Fib is drawn from one anchor to the other depending on the trend sign.
* Rays are projected `Ray Length` bars to the right of `Current Offset`.
* For the **previous ATR Fib**:
* The last completed segment’s start/end rails are used as anchors
* Rays are projected using `Prev Fib Offset` and `Prev Fib Length`
#### Current ATR Fib controls
* `Enable ATR Fib` – toggles current ATR Fib bank
* `ATR Period`, `ATR Multiplier` – control the “engine” behind the rails and ST logic
* `Current Offset`, `Ray Length` – where and how far rays are drawn
* `Show Level Text`, `Show Price`, `Display % not ratio` – label style
* `Label Size (Current ATR Fib)` – for all current ATR Fib labels
Visual extras:
* `Plot Hi/Low Anchor Lines` – shows upper/lower rails
* `Plot ATR Trailing Stop` – shows clamped Supertrend as a continuous line
#### Previous ATR Fib controls
* `Enable Prev ATR Fib` – toggles previous segment ladders
* Independent `Prev Fib Offset`, `Prev Fib Length`
* Separate label controls:
* `Show Level Text (Prev)`
* `Show Price (Prev)`
* `Display % not ratio (Prev)`
* `Label Size (Previous ATR Fib)`
Use the **current ATR Fib** as your active trading “ladder” and the **previous ATR Fib** to track recently broken structure and potential retest zones.
---
### 5.3 Lookback Auto Fib — HH/LL-Driven Fib Bank, MTF + Manual Overrides
**Group:** `Lookback Auto Fib` + `Lookback Anchor Overrides`
This engine draws Fibs between **highest high** and **lowest low** within a given lookback window on a chosen timeframe.
#### How it works
1. Select higher timeframe:
* `Lookback Timeframe` (empty = chart timeframe)
2. Choose your range:
* `Lookback Bars` – number of bars on the selected TF to scan for extremes
3. Optionally allow look-ahead:
* `Look-ahead Bars (repainting)`
* `0` = no look-ahead (no forward info, no repainting)
* `>0` = uses `barmerge.lookahead_on` for forward-looking extremes (can repaint)
4. For that range, the script finds:
* Highest high + its bar offset
* Lowest low + its bar offset
5. Trend direction is determined by **which extreme is more recent**:
* Recent high → **down** direction (high → low)
* Recent low → **up** direction (low → high)
6. Manual direction overrides:
* `Force Uptrend` / `Force Downtrend` – override the auto decision
7. Manual anchor overrides:
* `Manual Anchor High (LB)`
* `Manual Anchor Low (LB)`
If both are set, those become the anchors and direction is deduced from which is higher.
8. The engine then draws a **directional Fib ladder**:
* Anchors between high/low based on direction
* Rays extend `Lookback Fib Length` bars from `Lookback Fib Offset`
#### Label controls
* `Show Level Text`, `Show Price`, `Display % not ratio`
* `Label Size (Lookback Fib)`
* Labels are prefixed with `LB` to distinguish them from ATR Fibs.
This engine is ideal for:
* **Swing structure mapping:** Drawing Fibs across the last major swing on the HTF.
* **Confluence:** Aligning Lookback Fibs with ATR Fibs, ATC channel boundaries, and VWAP bands.
---
### 5.4 Shared Fibonacci Levels — Fully Custom Fib Bank for Both Engines
**Group:** `Fibonacci Levels`
The ATR and Lookback engines **both** use the same Fib bank:
* **Ratios provided by default:**
* 0.000
* 0.146
* 0.236
* 0.382
* 0.500
* 0.618
* 0.650
* 0.707
* 0.786
* 0.886
* 1.000
* 1.130
* 1.272
* 1.618
* 2.000
Each ratio has its own:
* `Enable Level X.XXX`
* `Level X.XXX` (the actual ratio – fully editable)
* `Thickness X.XXX` (line width)
* `Style X.XXX` (Solid / Dashed / Dotted)
* `Color X.XXX` (line + label color)
Adjusting a level here **instantly updates both** ATR and Lookback ladders. This makes it very easy to:
* Run “standard” Fib sets for classic retracements
* Or define your **own Fib presets** (e.g., 0.25 / 0.5 / 0.75, or custom extension clusters)
---
## How to Use & Suggested Workflows
**Scalpers / 0DTE / Intraday:**
* Enable:
* MA/EMA pack (fast EMAs + one MTF slot)
* VWAP (Session anchor) + 1–2 VWAP bands + highlight fill
* ATR Auto Fib (current + previous)
* Optionally hide:
* Lookback Fibs
* Long-Term ATC (unless you want HTF bias on your intraday chart)
Use slope labels, VWAP angle %, and ATR Fib ladders to structure trades around pullbacks, mean reversion, and breakouts.
**Swing / Position traders:**
* Turn on:
* Long-Term ATC (with table)
* Short-Term ATC for swing structure
* Lookback Auto Fib on a higher timeframe (e.g., D on 4H chart)
* Keep VWAP anchored to Week or Month, and MA slots for key reference MAs.
Use ATC channels for **trend structure**, Lookback Fibs for **swing levels**, and long VWAPs for **value zones**.
---
## Final Notes & Disclaimer
* Works on **all symbols** and **all timeframes**, but some stats (like “Annualized Return”) are only meaningful on **daily/weekly** data.
* Some options (like Look-ahead mode for Lookback Fibs) can **repaint** on purpose. These are clearly labeled — use them only if you understand and want forward-looking behavior.
* This script does **not** place trades. It is a visual / analytical tool only.
* Nothing in this indicator or description is financial advice. Always do your own research, forward-test, and manage risk appropriately.
If you have **invite-only access** to **Dixsons Tackle Box**, you’re getting the full Dixson overlay stack in one place — designed to be the central “hub” for your chart, not just another line on it.
Smart Risk - Three Institutional Models📘 Smart Risk – Three Institutional Entry Models
A precision-engineered institutional framework that blends liquidity, structure, and multi-time-frame confirmation.
🧠 Concept Overview
The Smart Risk indicator models how institutional traders and algorithms engineer entries around liquidity, imbalance, and structural shifts .
It unifies t hree distinct institutional entry models —each built around core Smart Money Concepts (SMC)—and enhances them with a Multi-Time-Frame Confluence (MTF) engine for directional alignment.
This tool doesn’t simply merge indicators.
It connects l iquidity sweeps, order-block reactions, breaker validation, and fair-value-gap mitigation into one cohesive trading logic—filtering every setup through trend, structure, and volume confirmation.
⚙️ How It Works
Setup #1 – Liquidity Sweep + Order Block Revisit + FVG Mitigation
Identifies engineered stop-hunts where price sweeps external liquidity and returns to a prior Order Block or Fair Value Gap (FVG).
Signals reversal-style entries with high probability of mean-reversion or mitigation.
Setup #2 – Supply/Demand + Mitigation / Breaker / FVG Continuation
Captures continuation trades inside trending structure.
When trend bias (via moving-average context) aligns with breaker or mitigation blocks, signals confirm institutional continuation sequences.
Setup #3 – Sweep + Classic FVG Reaction
Tracks clean displacement gaps following a liquidity sweep—ideal for scalpers and intraday reversals where imbalances act as magnets for price.
Each setup can be independently enabled or disabled from the panel.
A built-in signal-cooldown prevents repetitive triggers on the same leg.
🕒 Multi-Time-Frame Confluence
The new MTF module aligns lower-time-frame precision entries with higher-time-frame market structure.
When enabled, each setup only validates if the HTF trend confirms the same directional bias as the LTF pattern—e.g. a 5-minute bullish FVG signal requires a bullish 1-hour structure.
This ensures institutional logic respects global liquidity flow and avoids counter-trend traps.
MTF Controls:
• ✅ Enable MTF Confluence toggle
• ⏱️ Lower Time-Frame (LTF) selector (default 5 min)
• ⏱️ Higher Time-Frame (HTF) selector (default 1 hour)
• 🔄 Automatic SMA-based HTF trend detection
🎨 Visualization & Dashboard
• Order Block / Supply–Demand Zones — highlight institutional footprints
• Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) — reveal displacement inefficiencies
• Liquidity Sweeps (X / $) — mark engineered stops
• BOS & CHoCH — confirm structure continuation or reversal
• Compact Dashboard — live “Armed” state for each setup and MTF bias
Color-coded background cues emphasize active trade phases without clutter.
🧩 Core Algorithm Highlights
• Dynamic swing and pivot structure detection
• Breaker / Mitigation / Volume confirmation filters
• Fair-Value-Gap logic with directional alignment
• Cooldown control for signal throttling
• Multi-Time-Frame bias filter for contextual precision
⸻
📈 How to Use
1. Apply indicator to any asset or timeframe.
2. Select which institutional setups you want active.
3. Optionally enable MTF Confluence (5 min → 1 hr recommended).
4. Wait for BOS/CHoCH confirmation + zone alignment before entry.
5. Use OB and FVG zones for entry/exit planning with risk management.
⸻
💡 Originality Statement
This script introduces a multi-layered institutional logic engine that merges liquidity, mitigation, and imbalance behavior into a unified framework—augmented with time-frame synchronization and signal-cooldown management.
All logic, calculations, and visualization structure were built from scratch for this model.
It is not a mash-up of existing public indicators and offers measurable analytical value through MTF-aware trade validation.

Opening Range Breakout with Multi-Timeframe Liquidity]═══════════════════════════════════════
OPENING RANGE BREAKOUT WITH MULTI-TIMEFRAME LIQUIDITY
═══════════════════════════════════════
A professional Opening Range Breakout (ORB) indicator enhanced with multi-timeframe liquidity detection, trading session visualization, volume analysis, and trend confirmation tools. Designed for intraday trading with comprehensive alert system.
───────────────────────────────────────
WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES
───────────────────────────────────────
This indicator combines multiple trading concepts:
- Opening Range Breakout (ORB) - Customizable time period detection with automatic high/low identification
- Multi-Timeframe Liquidity - HTF (Higher Timeframe) and LTF (Lower Timeframe) key level detection
- Trading Sessions - Tokyo, London, New York, and Sydney session visualization
- Volume Analysis - Volume spike detection and strength measurement
- Multi-Timeframe Confirmation - Trend bias from higher timeframes
- EMA Integration - Trend filter and dynamic support/resistance
- Smart Alerts - Quality-filtered breakout notifications
───────────────────────────────────────
HOW IT WORKS
───────────────────────────────────────
OPENING RANGE BREAKOUT (ORB):
Concept:
The Opening Range is a period at the start of a trading session where price establishes an initial high and low. Breakouts beyond this range often indicate the direction of the day's trend.
Detection Method:
- Default: 15-minute opening range (configurable)
- Custom Range: Set specific session times with timezone support
- Automatically identifies ORH (Opening Range High) and ORL (Opening Range Low)
- Tracks ORB mid-point for reference
Range Establishment:
1. Session starts (or custom time begins)
2. Tracks highest high and lowest low during the period
3. Range confirmed at end of opening period

SMC Analysis - Fair Value Gaps (Enhanced)SMC Analysis - Fair Value Gaps (Enhanced) Script Summary
Overview
The "SMC Analysis - Fair Value Gaps (Enhanced)" script, written in Pine Script (version 6), is a technical analysis indicator designed for TradingView to identify and visualize Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on a price chart. It supports both the main timeframe and multiple higher timeframes (MTF) for comprehensive market analysis. FVGs are price gaps formed by a three-candle pattern, indicating potential areas of market inefficiency where price may return to fill the gap.
Key Features
FVG Detection:
Identifies bullish FVGs: Occur when the high of a candle two bars prior is lower than the low of the current candle, with the middle candle being bullish (close > open).
Identifies bearish FVGs: Occur when the low of a candle two bars prior is higher than the high of the current candle, with the middle candle being bearish (close < open).
Visualizes FVGs as colored boxes on the chart (green for bullish, red for bearish).
Mitigation Tracking:
Tracks when FVGs are touched (price overlaps the gap range) or mitigated (price fully closes the gap).
Strict Mode: Marks an FVG as mitigated when price touches the gap range.
Normal Mode: Requires a full breakthrough (price crossing the gap’s bottom for bullish FVGs or top for bearish FVGs) for mitigation.
Optionally converts FVG box borders to dashed lines and increases transparency when partially touched.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Support:
Analyzes FVGs on three user-defined higher timeframes (default: 15m, 60m, 240m).
Displays MTF FVGs with distinct labels and slightly more transparent colors.
Ensures no duplicate processing of MTF bars to maintain performance.
Customization Options:
FVG Length: Adjustable duration for how long FVGs are displayed (default: 20 bars).
Show/Hide FVGs: Toggle visibility for main timeframe and each MTF.
Color Customization: User-defined colors for bullish and bearish FVGs (default: green and red).
Display Options: Toggle for showing dashed lines after partial touches and strict mitigation mode.
Performance Optimization:
Limits the number of displayed boxes (50 for main timeframe, 20 per MTF) to prevent performance issues.
Automatically removes older boxes to maintain a clean chart.
Functionality
Visualization: Draws boxes around detected FVGs, with customizable colors and text labels ("FVG" for main timeframe, "FVG " for MTF).
Dynamic Updates: Extends or terminates FVG boxes based on mitigation status and user settings.
Efficient Storage: Uses arrays to manage FVG data (boxes, tops, bottoms, indices, mitigation status, and touch status) separately for main and MTF analyses.
Use Case
This indicator is designed for traders using Smart Money Concepts (SMC) to identify areas of market inefficiency (FVGs) for potential price reversals or continuations. The MTF support allows analysis across different timeframes, aiding in confirming trends or spotting higher-timeframe support/resistance zones.
GOD Complex Analysis Table By QTX Algo SystemsGOD Complex Analysis Table by QTX Algo Systems
Overview
The GOD Complex Analysis Table is a powerful visual companion for traders using the GOD Complex ecosystem. It displays detailed confluence scores for each trade type (Reversal Long, Reversal Short, Continuation Long, Continuation Short), offering a breakdown of required vs. extra signals, as well as multi-timeframe (MTF) scores and bias.
This tool is designed to help discretionary traders better understand how multiple conditions across timeframes align to support high-quality trade setups. It is not a standalone signal generator but rather an advanced diagnostic table that reveals the logic driving the GOD Complex entries.
How It Works
Each row in the table represents a trade type (e.g., Reversal Long), and includes:
Required Score – Based on must-have conditions for that trade type (e.g., oversold levels, statistical extremes, key momentum shifts).
Extra Score – Bonus confluence points from higher timeframe agreement, slope shifts, or secondary confirmation indicators.
Total Score – Combined Required + Extra score (max 200), useful for comparing relative strength across trade types.
Breakdown Columns – Show exactly which conditions are currently satisfied or missing, categorized as Required or Extra.
MTF Scores – Score-based analysis across 5m to 1M timeframes, highlighting how confluence changes with zoomed-out perspectives.
MTF Bias Row – Net bullish vs. bearish confluence per timeframe (positive = green, negative = red).
Indicators Used (All Proprietary QTX Tools)
VBM (Volatility-Based Momentum): Confirms directional trend and volatility environment.
VBSMI (Volatility-Based SMI): Adapts momentum oscillator based on market conditions and tilt logic.
SEA (Statistically Extreme Areas): Identifies when price reaches statistically rare volatility/range zones.
SPB (Statistical Price Bands): Tracks dynamically adjusted support/resistance based on percentile deviation.
COI (Continuation Opportunity Indicator): Detects pullback exhaustion and momentum re-acceleration opportunities.
Each trade type (Reversal or Continuation) is scored based on these tools across local and higher timeframes.
Key Table Features
🔍 Reversal Scoring Logic
Reversal trades must meet key oversold/overbought criteria (e.g., VBSMI extremes, SEA/SPB triggers) and be supported by trend weakness or exhaustion in the COI/VBM logic. High confluence across timeframes boosts the score.
📈 Continuation Scoring Logic
Continuations require strong trend alignment (VBM, COI), confirmation of momentum (VBSMI cross + slope), and lack of statistical extremes (no SEA/SPB hits). HTF agreement increases the score further.
🧠 Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Scoring
MTF scores are generated by evaluating each trade type’s core confluence across timeframes (e.g., 5m, 1H, 1D, etc.). This helps traders gauge how well a setup aligns with the broader market structure.
📊 Bias Coloring
The MTF Bias row shows net directional strength. Green = bullish bias. Red = bearish bias. Gray = neutral.
🔎 Factors Breakdown
View factors for each trade type. These factors explain which required and extra conditions are currently contributing or missing.
Customization Options
Table position (top/bottom, left/right)
Table size (small, medium, large)

SuperTrend Cyan — Split ST & Triple Bands (A/B/C)SuperTrend Cyan — Split ST & Triple Bands (A/B/C)
✨ Concept:
The SuperTrend Cyan indicator expands the classical SuperTrend logic into a split-line + triple-band visualization for clearer structure and volatility mapping.
Instead of a single ATR-based line, this tool separates SuperTrend direction from volatility envelopes (A/B/C), providing a layered view of both regime and range compression.
✨ The design goal:
Preserve the simplicity of SuperTrend
Add volatility context via multi-band envelopes
Provide a compact MTF (Multi-Timeframe) summary for broader trend alignment
✨ How It Works
1. SuperTrend Core (Active & Opposite Lines)
Uses ATR-based bands (Factor × ATR-Length).
Active SuperTrend is plotted according to current regime.
Opposite SuperTrend (optional) shows potential reversal threshold.
2. Triple Band System (A/B/C)
Each band (A, B, C) scales from the median price (hl2) by different ATR multipliers.
A: Outer band (wider, long-range context)
B: Inner band (mid-range activity)
C: Core band (closest to price, short-term compression)
Smoothness can be controlled with EMA.
Uptrend fills are lime-toned, downtrend fills are red-toned, with adjustable opacity (gap intensity).
3. Automatic Directional Switch
When the regime flips from up → down (or vice versa), the overlay automatically switches between lower and upper bands for a clean transition.
4. Multi-Timeframe SuperTrend Table
Displays SuperTrend direction across 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, and 1D frames.
Green ▲ = Uptrend, Red ▼ = Downtrend.
Useful for checking cross-timeframe trend alignment.
✨ How to Read It
Green SuperTrend + Lime Bands
- Uptrend regime; volatility expanding upward
Red SuperTrend + Red Bands
- Downtrend regime; volatility expanding downward
Narrow gaps (A–C)
- Low volatility / compression (potential squeeze)
Wide gaps
- High volatility / active trend phase
Opposite ST line close to price
- Early warning for regime transition
✨ Practical Use
Identify trend direction (SuperTrend color & line position).
Assess volatility conditions (band width and gap transparency).
Watch for MTF alignment: consistent up/down signals across 1h–4h–1D = strong structural trend.
Combine with momentum indicators (e.g., RSI, DFI, PCI) for confirmation of trend maturity or exhaustion.
✨ Customization Tips
ST Factor / ATR Length
- Adjust sensitivity of SuperTrend direction changes
Band ATR Length
- Controls overall smoothness of volatility envelopes
Band Multipliers (A/B/C)
- Define how wide each volatility band extends
Gap Opacity
- Affects visual contrast between layers
MTF Table
- Enable/disable multi-timeframe display
✨ Educational Value
This script visualizes the interaction between trend direction (SuperTrend) and volatility envelopes, helping traders understand how price reacts within layered ATR zones.
It also introduces a clean MTF (multi-timeframe) perspective — ideal for discretionary and system traders alike.

📘 한국어 설명 (Korean translation below)
───────────────────────────────
✨개념
SuperTrend Cyan 지표는 기존의 SuperTrend를 확장하여,
추세선 분리(Split Line) + 3중 밴드 시스템(Triple Bands) 으로
시장의 구조적 흐름과 변동성 범위를 동시에 시각화합니다.
단순한 SuperTrend의 강점을 유지하면서도,
ATR 기반의 A/B/C 밴드를 통해 변동성 압축·확장 구간을 직관적으로 파악할 수 있습니다.
✨ 작동 방식
1. SuperTrend 코어 (활성/반대 라인)
ATR×Factor를 기반으로 추세선을 계산합니다.
현재 추세 방향에 따라 활성 라인이 표시되고, “Show Opposite” 옵션을 켜면 반대편 경계선도 함께 보입니다.
2. 트리플 밴드 시스템 (A/B/C)
hl2(중간값)를 기준으로 ATR 배수에 따라 세 개의 밴드를 계산합니다.
A: 외곽 밴드 (가장 넓고 장기 구조 반영)
B: 중간 밴드 (중기적 움직임)
C: 코어 밴드 (가격에 가장 근접, 단기 변동성 반영)
EMA 스무딩으로 부드럽게 조정 가능.
업트렌드 구간은 라임색, 다운트렌드는 빨간색 음영으로 표시됩니다.
3. 자동 전환 시스템
추세가 전환될 때(Up ↔ Down), 밴드 오버레이도 자동으로 교체되어 깔끔한 시각적 구조를 유지합니다.
4. MTF SuperTrend 테이블
5m / 15m / 1h / 4h / 1D 프레임별 SuperTrend 방향을 표시합니다.
초록 ▲ = 상승, 빨강 ▼ = 하락.
복수 타임프레임 정렬 확인용으로 유용합니다.
✨ 해석 방법
초록 SuperTrend + 라임 밴드
- 상승 추세 및 확장 구간
빨강 SuperTrend + 레드 밴드
- 하락 추세 및 확장 구간
밴드 폭이 좁음
- 변동성 축소 (스퀴즈)
밴드 폭이 넓음
- 변동성 확장, 추세 강화
반대선이 근접
- 추세 전환 가능성 높음
✨ 활용 방법
SuperTrend 색상으로 추세 방향을 확인
A/B/C 밴드 폭으로 변동성 수준을 판단
MTF 테이블을 통해 복수 타임프레임 정렬 여부 확인
RSI, DFI, PCI 등 다른 지표와 함께 활용 시, 추세 피로·모멘텀 변화를 조기에 파악 가능
✨ 교육적 가치
이 스크립트는 추세 구조(SuperTrend) 와 변동성 레이어(ATR Bands) 의 상호작용을
시각적으로 학습하기 위한 교육용 지표입니다.
또한, MTF 구조를 통해 시장의 “위계적 정렬(hierarchical alignment)”을 쉽게 인식할 수 있습니다.
