Custom EMA Zone1. Overview
The Custom EMA Cloud Indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to visually display a dynamic zone (or cloud) between two user-defined EMAs. It supports different EMA lengths and allows users to calculate these EMAs using custom timeframes. This flexibility makes it a powerful tool for identifying trends, key price zones, and potential trade signals.
2. Components of the Indicator
2.1. Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs)
EMA 1 (Faster EMA): Calculated using a shorter period (e.g., 21).
EMA 2 (Slower EMA): Calculated using a longer period (e.g., 50).
Users can customize the periods for both EMAs.
2.2. Timeframe Customization
Each EMA can be calculated using a higher timeframe than the chart’s timeframe (e.g., calculate EMA 50 on a 1-hour chart while viewing on a 5-minute chart).
This feature allows users to incorporate higher timeframe trend context into lower timeframe charts.
2.3. Cloud Zone
The cloud is the shaded area between EMA 1 and EMA 2.
Color Logic:
Light Green: Price opens and closes above both EMAs (bullish momentum).
Light Red: Price opens and closes below both EMAs (bearish momentum).
3. How to Use the Indicator
3.1. Trend Identification
When the entire price action is above the cloud, it signals a probable uptrend.
When the entire price action is below the cloud, it indicates a probable downtrend.
When the price is inside the cloud, it reflects probable market consolidation or indecision.
4. Use Cases in Trading Styles
4.1. Scalping
Use short EMAs (e.g., EMA 5 and EMA 13) on 1-minute or 3-minute charts.
Ideal for quick entries and exits during strong momentum moves.
4.2. Swing Trading
Use longer EMAs (e.g., EMA 21 and EMA 50) on 4-hour or daily charts.
Helps capture trend continuation over multiple days.
4.3. Trend Following
Combine with RSI or MACD to confirm trend strength before entering trades.
Stay in the trade as long as price respects the cloud direction.
5. Advantages
Visual Clarity: Simplifies decision-making with clearly defined zones.
Multi-Timeframe Insight: Offers a higher timeframe trend reference.
Customizable: Fits various strategies through adjustable EMAs and timeframes.
6. Limitations
Lagging Nature: As with all moving averages, there may be lag during fast reversals.
False Signals in Sideways Markets: May produce whipsaws during consolidation

ATR Levels and Zones with Signals📌 ATR Levels and Zones with Signals – User Guide Description
🔹 Overview
The ATR Levels and Zones with Signals indicator is a volatility-based trading tool that helps traders identify:
✔ Key support & resistance levels based on ATR (Average True Range)
✔ Buy & Sell signals triggered when price enters key ATR zones
✔ Breakout confirmations to detect high-momentum moves
✔ Dynamic Stop-Loss & Take-Profit suggestions
Unlike traditional ATR bands, this indicator creates layered ATR zones based on multiple ATR multipliers, allowing traders to gauge volatility and risk-adjust their trading strategies.
🔹 How It Works
🔸 The script calculates a baseline SMA (Simple Moving Average) of the price.
🔸 ATR (Average True Range) is then used to create six dynamic price levels above & below the baseline.
🔸 These levels define different risk zones—higher levels indicate increased volatility and potential trend exhaustion.
📈 ATR Zones Explained
🔹 Lower ATR Levels (Buying Opportunities)
📉 Lower Level 1-2 → Mild Oversold Zone (Potential trend continuation)
📉 Lower Level 3-4 → High Volatility Buy Zone (Aggressive traders start scaling in)
📉 Lower Level 5-6 → Extreme Oversold Zone (High-Risk Reversal Area)
🔹 If price enters these lower zones, it may indicate a potential buying opportunity, especially if combined with trend reversal confirmation.
🔹 Upper ATR Levels (Selling / Take Profit Zones)
📈 Upper Level 1-2 → Mild Overbought Zone (Potential pullback area)
📈 Upper Level 3-4 → High Volatility Sell Zone (Aggressive traders start scaling out)
📈 Upper Level 5-6 → Extreme Overbought Zone (High-Risk for Reversal)
🔹 If price enters these upper zones, it may indicate a potential selling opportunity or trend exhaustion, especially if momentum slows.
🔹 Sensitivity Modes
🔹 Aggressive Mode (More Frequent Signals) → Triggers buy/sell signals at Lower/Upper Level 3 & 4
🔹 Conservative Mode (Stronger Confirmation) → Triggers buy/sell signals at Lower/Upper Level 5 & 6
📌 Choose the mode based on your trading style:
✔ Scalpers & short-term traders → Use Aggressive Mode
✔ Swing & trend traders → Use Conservative Mode for stronger confirmations
🚀 How to Use the Indicator
🔹 For Trend Trading:
✅ Buy when price enters the lower ATR zones (especially in uptrends).
✅ Sell when price enters the upper ATR zones (especially in downtrends).
🔹 For Breakout Trading:
✅ Breakout Buy: Price breaks above Upper ATR Level 3 → Momentum entry for trend continuation
✅ Breakout Sell: Price breaks below Lower ATR Level 3 → Momentum short opportunity
🔹 Stop-Loss & Take-Profit Suggestions
🚨 Stop-Loss: Suggested at Lower ATR Level 6 (for longs) or Upper ATR Level 6 (for shorts)
🎯 Take-Profit: Suggested at Upper ATR Level 3 (for longs) or Lower ATR Level 3 (for shorts)
🔹 Why This Indicator is Unique
✔ Multiple ATR layers for better risk-adjusted trading decisions
✔ Combines ATR-based zones with SMA trend confirmation
✔ Both aggressive & conservative trading modes available
✔ Includes automatic stop-loss & take-profit suggestions
✔ Breakout signals for momentum traders
📢 Final Notes
✅ Free & open-source for the TradingView community!
⚠ Risk Warning: Always confirm signals with other confluences (trend, volume, support/resistance) before trading.

[GrandAlgo] Candle Trap ZonesThe Candle Trap Zones indicator identifies areas where price becomes "trapped" within a defined range and refines these zones using a proprietary algorithm. This unique approach ensures that only the most relevant zones, based on both proximity and price behavior, are highlighted for traders. By integrating advanced features like Fibonacci Cloud visualization and customizable detection parameters, the indicator offers tools to support detailed and adaptable price action analysis.
How It Works:
The Candle Trap Zones indicator evaluates historical price data to identify ranges where price has been trapped. Zones are filtered using proximity detection to prevent overlaps and maintain clarity. Additionally:
The strength parameter adjusts the sensitivity of zone identification, while the trap detection range determines how far back the algorithm evaluates price data.
The Fibonacci Cloud acts as an extension of the identified zones, providing additional precision by highlighting key levels just outside the zones
The auto-adjustment feature dynamically modifies zones if new zones are formed in close proximity, ensuring the chart reflects the most relevant areas.
The zone extension feature expands zones when price re-enters, allowing traders to track extended interactions with critical levels.
Key Features:
Proximity-Based Trap Zone Detection
Dynamically identifies and refines trap zones while avoiding overlaps to keep charts clean.
Fibonacci Cloud Integration:
Extends trap zones with Fibonacci-based levels, providing actionable reference points for potential reactions.
Customizable Detection Parameters:
Fine-tune zone detection with adjustable strength and range settings to suit various trading styles.
Real-Time Alerts:
Sends notifications when price enters, exits, or re-tests a trap zone, enabling timely trading decisions.
Dynamic Zone Updates:
Continuously recalculates zones as new data becomes available, reflecting current market conditions.
Clear and Intuitive Visuals:
Trap zones and Fibonacci clouds are highlighted in distinct colors for seamless chart analysis.
Use Cases:
Identify areas where price consolidates or liquidity builds up.
Monitor zones for potential breakouts or reversals.
Fibonacci Clouds serve as additional reference points for anticipating market reactions and refining trade setups
Trap zones may highlight areas of accumulation or distribution where traders can anticipate price reversals or breakouts.
Useful for identifying liquidity zones in range-bound markets or pinpointing key levels for breakout trades in trending markets.
Adaptable for use in Forex, crypto, stocks, and other trading markets.

Ultimate ZonesThe story is simple: I didn't find a support/resistance zones indicator that I actually liked, so I made my own.
Features:
Independent of the chart timeframe (zones don't change if you switch timeframes) - very important for practical use
Live mode (repainting) plus historic mode (non-repainting)
Selectable timeframe for zone calculation (default: daily)
Can adjust how far the indicator looks back into the past (default: 500 days)
Can adjust pivot period to find more or fewer zones
Zone heights are based on long-term ATR (to adapt to the asset's volatility automatically)
Price tolerance multiplier is adjustable
Option to merge zones which are close together into one ("fat zones")
I find that together these options (especially those in the "sensitivity" section) allow me to automatically generate almost all the zones I want to see. Occasionally, I do draw some additional zones to get the perfect image I'm looking for on the chart.
Explanation
We detect pivot points on the selected zone timeframe (taking pivot period and lookback limit into account). Then we combine these pivot points into a zone if they are close enough together in price (here the tolerance parameter comes into play). If "fat zones" is selected, we perform these merges more aggressively even if the resulting zone becomes taller than the standard tolerance.
The ATR used for the tolerance is a 500 period ATR, but if there are less than 500 bars available, we use the average of the bars available so far, so we always have a value to work with.
In order for a zone to be displayed, it must have been touched by at least 2 separate pivot points. We do not distinguish between pivot highs and pivot lows because support is known to turn into resistance and vice versa.
In live mode, we draw the currently active zones as boxes.
In historic mode, we plot the active zones at each bar using "plot" and "fill", so there is no repainting or erasing, and you can see which zones were active at any past date. For practical reasons, we draw a maximum of 15 zones around the current price (i.e. 7-8 zones above and 7-8 zones below the price).
Zigzag Fibonacci Golden Zone [UAlgo]🔶 Description:
The "Zigzag Fibonacci Golden Zone" aims to identify potential trend pullback points by utilizing a combination of zigzag patterns and Fibonacci "Golden Zone (0.618 - 0.786)" retracement levels. It plots zigzag lines on the price chart, highlighting significant swing highs and swing lows, and overlays Fibonacci retracement levels to indicate potential support and resistance zones. Additionally, it provides options to display buy and sell signals based on specific criteria.
🔶 Key Features:
Zigzag Lines: The indicator plots zigzag lines on the price chart, marking significant swing highs and swing lows. These lines help traders visualize the direction and magnitude of price swings.
Fibonacci Retracement Levels: The indicator overlays Fibonacci retracement levels on the chart, indicating potential support and resistance levels. These levels are derived from the Fibonacci sequence and are commonly used by traders to identify reversal points.
Fibonacci occurs again when a new zigzag low or high is created :
Before new zigzag low pivot appears,
After new Zigzag low pivot appears,
As you see new fibonacci created after new pivot found also price bounced from retracement zone.
Customization Options: Traders can customize various parameters of the indicator, such as the length of the zigzag pattern, color preferences for different elements, and visibility of price labels and buy/sell signals.
Buy/Sell Signals: The indicator generates buy and sell signals based on predefined criteria, such as price movements relative to Fibonacci levels and other market conditions. These signals can help traders identify potential entry and exit points in the market.

Index Kill Zones - SMC IndicatorsWhat are Index Kill Zones?
Index Kill Zones are specific Time Windows of opportunity during the Session for Indices that have the potential for the highest volatility and where looking for trading opportunities is ideal.
The Index Kill Zone Indicator is specifically designed for the SP500, NQ100, and DJ30, Markets. What differentiates this script from other Kill Zones scripts is that this script is based on NY Midnight as the basis for the start of the day.
This is not the usual below-average Index Kill Zone indicator because this indicator does not only show the 3 main Kill Zones or Sessions, but it also offers extra Kill Zones within each session that are called "AM Session", "PM Session", the "Launch Hour", the "Silver Bullet for the London, AM, and PM Sessions", and the "Last Hour" for the London, AM, and PM sessions.
Another key differentiator of this indicator's functionality is that it shows the highs and lows of each Kill zone allowing SMC traders to monitor Time-Based Liquidity above the highs and lows of each trading session.
By splitting each trading day into AM and PM Sessions, we can identify 3 types of potential daily profiles. These daily profiles could be used as conceptual templates as to what to expect from the price during a certain day. The 6 templates are the following:
1. Two Sessions Up: Where the price would go in one direction higher during both the AM and PM Sessions.
2. Two Sessions Down: Where the price would go in one direction lower during both the AM and PM Sessions.
3. AM Rally, then PM Decline: The price would go higher during the AM session and then lower during the PM Session.
4. AM Decline, then PM Rally: The price would go lower during the AM session and then higher during the PM Session.
5. Consolidation, AM Rally, then PM Decline: Where the price would consolidate most of the AM Session, then go higher into the last hour, and then reverse and go lower during the PM Session.
5. Consolidation, AM Decline, then PM Rally: Where the price would consolidate most of the AM Session, then go lower into the last hour, and then reverse and go higher during the PM Session.
Within each AM and PM Session, there is a "Silver Bullet" that acts as a time window of opportunity to get into a continuation trade in the direction of the prevailing trend.
Also, within each AM and PM Session, there is a "Last Hour" that acts as a time window of opportunity to get into a trade in the direction of the potential trend if the price has not moved yet, or as a reversal trade opportunity if the price has already ran previous short-term highs or lows.
Finally, we have also incorporated a Notification function to remind the trader of the start of the trading Kill Zones to not miss out on potential trade opportunities.
Key Functionalities
Universal Time Reference
Every day starts at 00:00 NY Midnight, irrespective of the trader's local time, Instead of the Standard GMT Midnight. This allows all Index Kill Zones to be in line with the New York start of the day at Midnight, as taught by ICT.
Weekend Highlighter
This feature highlights time from Sunday Market Open at 5 PM NY Time to 00:00 NY Midnight.
It's useful for identifying the non-trading or the low volatility periods when trading should be avoided.
Features Breakdown
Lookback Period
Defaulted to 60 trading days, aligning with “IPDA Data Ranges”, which is ideal for backtesting.
It's adjustable for trading, and it's recommended to keep it at 20 trading days to focus on the most recent data only.
24-hour Daily Intervals
The 24-hour intervals are not the same as the usual daily candle. Instead, the start of each trading day is anchored to the 00:00 NY Midnight.
Highlights "Days of the Week" labels, "Weekend" Trading Time, and the daily high-low ranges based on the start of trading day mark being at 00:00 NY Midnight.
London Kill Zones (Green)
The Full London Session starts from 02:00 NY Time to 05:00 NY Time.
London Silver Bullet starts from 03:00 NY Time to 04:00 NY Time.
London Last Hour starts from 04:00 NY Time to 05:00 NY Time.
Highlights the high and low of the London Kill Zone to Identify Time-Based Liquidity above and below the London Kill Zone Range.
AM Session Kill Zone (Blue)
The full AM Session Starts from 09:30 NY time to 12:00 NY Time.
AM Session Silver Bullet starts from 10:00 NY Time to 11:00 NY Time.
AM Session Last Hour starts from 11:00 NY Time to 12:00 NY Time.
Highlight the high and low of the AM Session to Identify Time-Based Liquidity above and below the AM Session Range.
Highlights the time when there is the highest volatility during the AM Session.
PM Session Kill Zone (Orange)

PM Session Silver Bullet starts from 14:00 NY Time to 15:00 NY Time.
PM Session Last Hour starts from 15:00 NY Time to 16:00 NY Time.
Highlight the high and low of the PM Session to Identify Time-Based Liquidity above and below the PM Session Range.
Highlights the time when there is the highest volatility during the PM Session.
Bonus Features
Daily & Weekly Open Price Levels
The Open Price levels draw a horizontal line from the start of the trading day at 00:00 NY midnight, and it extends it towards the end of the trading day.
This is useful for understanding where the price is relative to the daily candle.
When Bullish, the trader should look for setups at or below the daily or weekly open price.
When Bearish, the trader should look for setups at or above the daily or weekly open price.
Whether to choose the Daily or Weekly open price depends on the trader's trading style. If the trader is day trading or scaling, then it's more appropriate to choose the Daily Open Price.
However, Day Traders can also use the Weekly candle to align with the Weekly Candle's expected range direction.
On the other hand, if the trader is a Swing Trader and wants to capitalise on the weekly candle's trend, then it's more appropriate to choose the Weekly Open Price.
However, Swing Traders can also use the Daily Open Price when looking to take a trade to time better entries with a high risk-to-reward ratio.
Daily Open Price Level (in Green) and Weekly Open Price Level (in White)
Kill Zones Open Price Level
This is useful if the trader is an intra-session trader and wants to treat the sessions as the daily candle. In this case, the trader can use the Kill Zones Open Price levels based on the same logic of the Daily Open Price, where the trade would look for buy opportunities below the Session's open price and look for sell opportunities above the Session's Open Price Level.
Notifications
The trader can also receive alerts as a reminder at the start of the desired session to ensure that he or she does not miss the start of the trading session.
Z-Score Based Momentum Zones with Advanced Volatility ChannelsThe indicator "Z-Score Based Momentum Zones with Advanced Volatility Channels" combines various technical analysis components, including volatility, price changes, and volume correction, to calculate Z-Scores and determine momentum zones and provide a visual representation of price movements and volatility based on multi timeframe highest high and lowest low values.
Note: THIS IS A IMPROVEMNT OF "Multi Time Frame Composite Bands" INDICATOR OF MINE WITH MORE EMPHASIS ON MOMENTUM ZONES CALULATED BASED ON Z-SCORES
Input Options
look_back_length: This input specifies the look-back period for calculating intraday volatility. correction It is set to a default value of 5.
lookback_period: This input sets the look-back period for calculating relative price change. The default value is 5.
zscore_period: This input determines the look-back period for calculating the Z-Score. The default value is 500.
avgZscore_length: This input defines the length of the momentum block used in calculations, with a default value of 14.
include_vc: This is a boolean input that, if set to true, enables volume correction in the calculations. By default, it is set to false.
1. Volatility Bands (Composite High and Low):
Composite High and Low: These are calculated by combining different moving averages of the high prices (high) and low prices (low). Specifically:
a_high and a_low are calculated as the average of the highest (ta.highest) and lowest (ta.lowest) high and low prices over various look-back periods (5, 8, 13, 21, 34) to capture short and long-term trends.
b_high and b_low are calculated as the simple moving average (SMA) of the high and low prices over different look-back periods (5, 8, 13) to smooth out the trends.
high_c and low_c are obtained by averaging a_high with b_high and a_low with b_low respectively.
IDV Correction Calulation : In this script the Intraday Volatility (IDV) is calculated as the simple moving average (SMA) of the daily high-low price range divided by the closing price. This measures how much the price fluctuates in a given period.
Composite High and Low with Volatility: The final c_high and c_low values are obtained by adjusting high_c and low_c with the calculated intraday volatility (IDV). These values are used to create the "Composite High" and "Composite Low" plots.
Composite High and Low with Volatility Correction: The final c_high and c_low values are obtained by adjusting high_c and low_c with the calculated intraday volatility (IDV). These values are used to create the "Composite High" and "Composite Low" plots.
2. Momentum Blocks Based on Z-Score:
Relative Price Change (RPC):
The Relative Price Change (rpdev) is calculated as the difference between the current high-low-close average (hlc3) and the previous simple moving average (psma_hlc3) of the same quantity. This measures the change in price over time.
Additionally, std_hlc3 is calculated as the standard deviation of the hlc3 values over a specified look-back period. The standard deviation quantifies the dispersion or volatility in the price data.
The rpdev is then divided by the std_hlc3 to normalize the price change by the volatility. This normalization ensures that the price change is expressed in terms of standard deviations, which is a common practice in quantitative analysis.
Essentially, the rpdev represents how many standard deviations the current price is away from the previous moving average.
Volume Correction (VC): If the include_vc input is set to true, volume correction is applied by dividing the trading volume by the previous simple moving average of the volume (psma_volume). This accounts for changes in trading activity.
Volume Corrected Relative Price Change (VCRPD): The vcrpd is calculated by multiplying the rpdev by the volume correction factor (vc). This incorporates both price changes and volume data.
Z-Scores: The Z-scores are calculated by taking the difference between the vcrpd and the mean (mean_vcrpd) and then dividing it by the standard deviation (stddev_vcrpd). Z-scores measure how many standard deviations a value is away from the mean. They help identify whether a value is unusually high or low compared to its historical distribution.
Momentum Blocks: The "Momentum Blocks" are essentially derived from the Z-scores (avgZScore). The script assigns different colors to the "Fill Area" based on predefined Z-score ranges. These colored areas represent different momentum zones:
Positive Z-scores indicate bullish momentum, and different shades of green are used to fill the area.
Negative Z-scores indicate bearish momentum, and different shades of red are used.
Z-scores near zero (between -0.25 and 0.25) suggest neutrality, and a yellow color is used.
Demand & Supply Zone Scoring: Rally Base & Drop ConceptDemand & Supply Zone Scoring Indicator
The Demand & Supply Zone Scoring indicator is designed to calculate the Trade Strength Score based on the concepts of demand and supply zones, specifically RBR (Rally Base Rally), RBD (Rally Base Drop), DBD (Drop Base Drop), and DBR (Drop Base Rally).
The Demand & Supply Zone Scoring indicator is specifically designed to facilitate a top-down approach with multiple timeframe analysis. It considers the higher timeframe (HTF) for curve analysis, intermediate timeframes (ITF) for trend analysis, and lower timeframes (LTF) for zone-specific analysis.
The indicator provides a table displayed on the chart, offering valuable information for analysis. Let's go through each row of the table:
1. Location:
This row represents the analysis of the curve on the higher time frame (HTF) to identify key levels. It determines whether the price is in a retail area (high on the curve) or a wholesale area (low on the curve). Trading within the wholesale area is considered a strong sign.
2. Trend:
This row focuses on the intermediate time frame (ITF) trend. It indicates whether the trend is upward or downward. If the ITF trend is up and you intend to buy, it suggests a strong point.
3. Achievement:
This row analyzes the achievement of the zone on the lower time frame (LTF). It considers whether the leg-out candle or follow-through candles of the zone have broken any opposite side zone or pivot level. A breakout in the opposite direction is seen as an excellent point.
4. Strength:
This row assesses the strength of the zone on the lower time frame (LTF) where the trade is planned. It looks at the strength of the leg-out candle, such as whether it's a gap candle, an exciting candle, or a candle with follow-through. A strong leg-out candle indicates an excellent point.
5. Time:
This row evaluates the time spent by base candles inside the zone on the lower time frame (LTF). It considers the number of base candles and the duration spent in the zone. Typically, 1 to 3 base candles are seen as strong, while more than 6 base candles receive 0 points.
6. Reward-to-Risk Ratio (RR):
This row focuses on the Risk-to-Reward (RR) ratio of the zone on the lower time frame (LTF) where the trade is planned. It compares the potential reward to the risk. A higher RR ratio, such as 1:3 or greater, is considered excellent.
7. Freshness:
This row analyzes the freshness of the zone on the lower time frame (LTF). It indicates whether the zone is new or has been tested multiple times. A fresh zone or one that has been tested only once is preferable.
Furthermore, it's important to mention that you have the flexibility to customize the text for each parameter according to your specific requirements. The table is designed to be fully customizable, allowing you to adapt the wording to your preferences and trading strategy.
This customization feature ensures that the indicator aligns with your personal trading approach and makes it easier for you to interpret and analyze the information provided in the table.
Additionally, please note that only the total score is displayed in the table on the chart by default. This is to avoid any visibility issues caused by displaying all the parameters. However, if you wish to see all the parameters in the table on the chart, you can easily enable them through the settings.
By enabling the parameters, you will have a comprehensive view of each factor's contribution to the Trade Strength Score directly on the chart.
By utilizing this indicator, calculating the Trade Strength Score becomes easier, providing a comprehensive analysis of various factors that influence trading decisions.
This indicator is developed by Afnan Tajuddin to assist fellow traders in conducting a top-down approach in an effective and efficient manner.

FVG / Imbalance ZONES (@JP7FX)Fair Value Gaps / Imbalance are created when Price moves away in one direction at speed / impulsively.
A gap is created between the first and third candle wick which creates the Imbalance / Fair Value Gap and is sometimes a potential area of where the market could return
making the area a good place to look to trade from or to aim for.
This Imbalance / Fair Value Gap indicator will change the color of the candles where these gaps have been created and also create a zone.
Although the candle color will not change, the zone however will be removed when price has closed the Gap making it easier to look for the untouched Fair Value Gaps / Imbalance when opening the charts or changing between timeframes and allowing you to create your potential areas to trade from or areas to target.
You can set alerts for when a FVG / Imbalance zones are created and also for when the zone gets mitigated by price.
Hope you find it useful and happy safe trading :)
Fibonacci Zone Oscillator With MACD HistogramThe columns
After I found a way to calculate a price as a percent of the middle line of the KeltCOG Channel in the KCGmut indicator (published), I got the idea to use the same trick in the Fbonacci Zone Channel (also published), thus creating an oscillator.
I plot the percent’s as columns with the color of the KeltCOG Channel. Because the channels I created and published (i.e. Fibonacci Zone, Donchian Fibonacci Trading Tool, Keltner Fibzones, and KeltCOG) all use Fibonacci zones, this indicator also reports the position of the close in their zones.
Strategy and Use:
Blue column: Close in uptrend area, 4 supports, 0 resistance, ready to rally up.
Green column: Close in buyers area, 3 supports, 1 resistance, looking up.
Gray column: Close in center area 2 supports, 2 resistances, undecided.
Yellow column: Close in sellers area 1 support, 3 resistances, looking down.
Red column: Close in downtrend area, 0 support, 4 resistances, ready to rally down.
I use this indicator in a layout with three timeframes which I use for stock picking, I pick all stocks with a blue column in every timeframe, the indicator is so clear that I can flip through the 50 charts of my universe of high liquid European blue chips in 15 minutes to make a list of these stocks.
Because I use it in conjunction with KeltCOG I also gave it a ‘script sets lookback’ option which can be checked with a feedback label and switched off in the inputs.
The MACD histogram
I admire the MACD because it is spot on when predicting tops and bottoms. It is also the most sexy indictor in TA. Actually just the histogram is needed, so I don’t show the macd-line and the signal line. I use the same lookback for the slow-ma as for the columns, set the fast-ma to half and the signal-line to a third of the general lookback. Therefore I gave the lookback a minimum value of 6, so the signal gets at least a lookback of 2.
The histogram is plotted three times, first as a whitish area to provide a background, then the colums of the Fibzone Oscillator are plotted, then the histogram as a purple line, which contrasts nicely and then as a hardly visible brown histogram.
The input settings give the option to show columns and histogram separate or together.
Strategy and use:
I think about the columns as showing a ‘longer term chosen momentum’ and about the histogram as a ‘short term power momentum’. I use it as additional information.
Enjoy, Eykpunter.
Supply/Demand Zone CandlesThis is a Pine Script to do a basic scan for demand zones and supply zones based on a Leg-Base-Leg-Base pattern.

Supply and Demand ZonesSupply and Demand zones do offer a great insights into the structure of any market. If you have an idea of how to trade with support and resistance zones, you might find supply and demand zones very similar.
1. Focus on a price level (zone)
It’s difficult to analyze the market without a focal point. If you look for turning points at every price level, you will only find confusion.
How do you know which price level to focus on? Which price levels are potential market turning points?
2. Observe what happened (happens) at the potential support/resistance
Signs of strong demand
When the market tests a potential support, look out for:
Bullish price pattern
Inability to clear below the support
Increased volume
Congestion
Signs of strong supply
When the market tests a potential resistance, look out for:
Bearish price pattern
Inability to clear above the resistance
Increased volume
Congestion
Look for these price action signals in the past, as well as in real-time price action. The more signs you see, the more likely you’ve found a true support/resistance zone.
BOSS Automatic Trendlines and Support Zones IndicatorTHE BEST FOREX, BINARY OPTIONS, STOCK AND CRYPTO INDICATORS FOR TRADINGVIEW.COM
Our auto-trendlines indicator and our support and resistance zones indicator with Fast and Slow EMA's all combined in one!
TrendLines
Trendlines when drawn properly make an excellent tool for traders. Used improperly though, they become ineffective and even counterproductive, resulting in a belief that prices have made a reversal when they really haven't, or that a trend has strength when price action suggests it doesn't.
The Boss Auto Trendline Indicator draws the trendlines automatically, and now you can effectively use trendlines as part of your trading strategy.
Trendlines highlight a trend or range (sideways movement). A trendline connects swing lows, where the low is lower than the surrounding prices, and swing highs in price. When the price rises, the swing lows rise.
Red Lines & Dots.
Connecting these lows with a line results in an ascending trendline , showing you that the trend is up. A trendline can also be drawn along the swing highs. This shows the angle of ascent, and the strength of the price move, whether strongly higher or not.
Green Lines & Dots
When the price falls, the swing highs fall. Connecting these highs with a line results in a descending trendline , illustrating the downward trend. A trendline can also be drawn along the swing lows. This shows the angle of descent and the strength of the downward price movement.
Support & Resistance Zones
Green = Support Zones
Red = Resistance Zones
The basic trading method for using support and resistance is to buy/long near support in uptrends, and to sell/short near resistance in downtrends.
Fast & Slow EMA's
Trend Following - you essentially use the EMA to track the primary trend. If a trading pair does not close beyond the average - you stay in the trade.
Moving Average Crosses - by using two different exponential moving average crosses you can generate buy and/or sell signals. For example, you can have a fast average cross a slow average to trigger a trade signal.
Dynamic Support and Resistance - EMA periods like the 21 or 55 can act as support and resistance zones.
CDC Action Zone V.2CDC Actionzone V2 is a simple 2MA system with small modification.
There are 4 Action Zones:
Green : Buy
Red : Sell
Blue : Prebuy - use with other indicators (eg. RSI Divergence) to comfirm.
Yellow : Presell - use with other indicators (eg. RSI Divergence) to comfirm.
Buy signalafter presell can be used for pyramiding in an vice-versa.
ADX Volatility Waves [BOSWaves]ADX Volatility Waves - Trend-Weighted Volatility Mapping with State-Based Wave Transitions
Overview
ADX Volatility Waves is a regime-aware volatility framework designed to map statistically significant price extremes through adaptive wave structures driven by trend strength.
Rather than treating volatility as a static dispersion metric, this indicator conditions all volatility expansion, contraction, and zone placement on ADX-derived trend intensity. Price behavior is interpreted through wave-like transitions between balance, expansion, and exhaustion states rather than isolated band interactions.
The result is a dynamic, gradient-based wave system that visually encodes volatility cycles and regime shifts in real time, allowing traders to contextualize price movement within trend-weighted volatility waves.
Price is evaluated not by static thresholds, but by its position and progression within adaptive volatility waves shaped by directional strength.
Conceptual Framework
ADX Volatility Waves is built on the premise that volatility unfolds in waves, not straight lines.
Traditional volatility tools identify dispersion but fail to account for how volatility behaves differently across trend regimes. By embedding ADX directly into volatility construction, this indicator ensures that volatility waves expand during strong directional phases and compress during weak or transitioning regimes.
Three guiding principles define the framework:
Volatility must be conditioned on trend strength
Extremes occur within zones, not at lines
Signals should emerge from completed wave transitions, not instantaneous touches
This reframes analysis from reactive mean-reversion toward regime-aware wave interpretation.
Theoretical Foundation
The indicator fuses directional movement theory with statistical volatility modeling.
Bollinger-derived dispersion provides the structural base, while ADX normalization controls the amplitude of volatility waves. As ADX increases, volatility waves widen and deepen; as ADX weakens, waves compress and tighten around equilibrium.
From this foundation, extended upper and lower wave zones are constructed and smoothed to represent statistically significant expansion and contraction phases.
At its core are three interacting systems:
ADX-Controlled Volatility Engine : Standard deviation is dynamically scaled using normalized ADX values, producing trend-weighted volatility waves.
Wave Zone Construction : Smoothed volatility boundaries are offset and expanded to form upper and lower wave zones, defining overextension and compression regions.
State-Based Wave Transition Logic : Signals occur only after price completes a full wave cycle: expansion into an extreme wave zone followed by a confirmed return to equilibrium.
This structure ensures that signals reflect completed volatility waves, not transient noise.
How It Works
ADX Volatility Waves processes price action through layered wave mechanics:
Trend-Weighted Volatility Calculation : Volatility boundaries are dynamically adjusted using ADX influence, allowing wave amplitude to scale with trend strength.
Structural Smoothing : Volatility boundaries are smoothed to stabilize wave geometry and reduce short-term distortions.
Wave Offset & Expansion : Upper and lower wave zones are positioned beyond equilibrium and expanded proportionally to volatility range, forming clearly defined expansion waves.
Gradient Wave Depth Mapping : Each wave zone is subdivided into multiple gradient layers, visually encoding increasing extremity as price moves deeper into a wave.
Wave State Tracking & Cooldown Control : The system tracks prior wave occupancy, enforces neutral stabilization periods, and applies cooldowns to prevent overlapping wave signals.
Compression Detection : Volatility width monitoring identifies compression phases, highlighting conditions where new volatility waves are likely to form.
Together, these processes create a continuous, adaptive wave map of volatility behavior.
Interpretation
ADX Volatility Waves reframes market reading around volatility cycles:
Upper Volatility Waves (Red Gradient) : Represent upside expansion phases. Deeper wave penetration indicates increased overextension relative to trend-adjusted volatility.
Lower Volatility Waves (Green Gradient) : Represent downside expansion phases. Sustained presence signals pressure, while exits toward balance suggest wave completion.
Equilibrium Zone : The neutral region between volatility waves. Confirmed re-entry into this zone marks the completion of a wave cycle and forms the basis for BUY and SELL signals.
Regime Context via ADX : Strong ADX regimes widen waves, reducing premature reversal signals. Weak ADX regimes compress waves, increasing sensitivity to reversion.
Wave progression and completion matter more than single-bar interactions.
Signal Logic & Visual Cues
ADX Volatility Waves produces single-entry BUY and SELL labels as its visual cues, plotted only when price first enters a volatility wave zone after the defined cooldown period.
Buy Signal (Bottom Zone Entry) : A BUY label appears when price enters the lower volatility wave (oversold zone). This highlights potential expansion into undervalued extremes, providing visual context for trend assessment rather than a guaranteed execution trigger.
Sell Signal (Top Zone Entry) : A SELL label appears when price enters the upper volatility wave (overbought zone). This marks potential overextension into upper volatility extremes, serving as a contextual indicator of trend stress.
All labels respect cooldown tracking to prevent clustering. Alerts are tied directly to these zone-entry signals, and a separate alert monitors volatility squeezes for awareness of compression periods.
Strategy Integration
ADX Volatility Waves integrates cleanly into volatility-aware trading frameworks:
Wave Context Mapping : Use wave depth to assess expansion and exhaustion risk rather than forcing immediate entries.
Transition-Based Execution : Prioritize BUY and SELL signals formed after confirmed wave completion.
Trend-Regime Filtering : In strong ADX regimes, treat waves as continuation pressure. In weak regimes, favor completed wave reversions.
Volatility Cycle Awareness : Monitor compression phases to anticipate the emergence of new volatility waves.
Multi-Timeframe Alignment : Apply higher-timeframe ADX regimes to contextualize lower-timeframe wave behavior.
Technical Implementation Details
Core Engine : ADX-normalized volatility expansion
Wave System : Smoothed, offset, expanded volatility waves
Visualization : Multi-layer gradient wave zones
Signal Logic : State-based wave transitions with cooldown enforcement
Alerts : Wave entry, wave completion, volatility compression
Performance Profile : Lightweight, real-time optimized overlay
Optimal Application Parameters
Timeframe Guidance:
1 - 5 min : Short-term volatility waves and intraday transitions
15 - 60 min : Structured intraday wave cycles
4H - Daily : Macro volatility regimes and expansion phases
Suggested Baseline Configuration:
BB Length : 20
BB StdDev : 1.5
ADX Length : 14
ADX Influence : 0.8
Wave Offset : 1.0
Wave Width : 1.0

RSI adaptive zones [AdaptiveRSI]This script introduces a unified mathematical framework that auto-scales oversold/overbought and support/resistance zones for any period length. It also adds true RSI candles for spotting intrabar signals.
Built on the Logit RSI foundation, this indicator converts RSI into a statistically normalized space, allowing all RSI lengths to share the same mathematical footing.
What was once based on experience and observation is now grounded in math.
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
💡 Example Use Cases
RSI(14): Classic overbought/oversold signals + divergence
Support in an uptrend using RSI(14)
Range breakouts using RSI(21)
Short-term pullbacks using RSI(5)
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
THE PAST: RSI Interpretation Required Multiple Rulebooks
Over decades, RSI practitioners discovered that RSI behaves differently depending on trend and lookback length:
• In uptrends, RSI tends to hold higher support zones (40–50)
• In downtrends, RSI tends to resist below 50–60
• Short RSIs (e.g., RSI(2)) require far more extreme threshold values
• Longer RSIs cluster near the center and rarely reach 70/30
These observations were correct — but lacked a unifying mathematical explanation.
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
THE PRESENT: One Framework Handles RSI(2) to RSI(200)
Instead of using fixed thresholds (70/30, 90/10, etc.), this indicator maps RSI into a normalized statistical space using:
• The Logit transformation to remove 0–100 scale distortion
• A universal scaling based on 2/√(n−1) scaling factor to equalize distribution shapes
As a result, RSI values become directly comparable across all lookback periods.
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
💡 How the Adaptive Zones Are Calculated
The adaptive framework defines RSI zones as statistical regimes derived from the Logit-transformed RSI .
Each boundary corresponds to a standard deviation (σ) threshold, scaled by 2/√(n−1), making RSI distributions comparable across periods.
This structure was inspired by Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s body–shoulders–tails regime model:
Body (±0.66σ) — consolidation / equilibrium
Shoulders (±1σ to ±2.14σ) — trending region
Tails (outside of ±2.14σ) — rare, high-volatility behavior
Transitions between these regimes are defined by the derivatives of the position (CDF) function :
• ±1σ → shift from consolidation to trend
• ±√3σ → shift from trend to exhaustion
Adaptive Zone Summary
Consolidation: −0.66σ to +0.66σ
Support/Resistance: ±0.66σ to ±1σ
Uptrend/Downtrend: ±1σ to ±√3σ
Overbought/Oversold: ±√3σ to ±2.14σ
Tails: outside of ±2.14σ
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
📌 Inverse Transformation: From σ-Space Back to RSI
A final step is required to return these statistically normalized boundaries back into the familiar 0–100 RSI scale. Because the Logit transform maps RSI into an unbounded real-number domain, the inverse operation uses the hyperbolic tangent function to compress σ-space back into the bounded RSI range.
RSI(n) = 50 + 50 · tanh(z / √(n − 1))
The result is a smooth, mathematically consistent conversion where the same statistical thresholds maintain identical meaning across all RSI lengths, while still expressing themselves as intuitive RSI values traders already understand.
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
Key Features
Mathematically derived adaptive zones for any RSI period
Support/resistance zone identification for trend-aligned reversals
Optional OHLC RSI bars/candles for intrabar zone interactions
Fully customizable zone visibility and colors
Statistically consistent interpretation across all markets and timeframes
Inputs
RSI Length — core parameter controlling zone scaling
RSI Display : Line / Bar / Candle visualization modes
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
💡 How to Use
This indicator is a framework , not a binary signal generator.
Start by defining the question you want answered, e.g.:
• Where is the breakout?
• Is price overextended or still trending?
• Is the correction ending, or is trend reversing?
Then:
Choose the RSI length that matches your timeframe
Observe which adaptive zone price is interacting with
Interpret market behavior accordingly
Example: Long-Term Trend Assesment using RSI(200)
A trader may ask: "Is this a long term top?"
Unlikely, because RSI(200) holds above Resistance zone , therefore the trend remains strong.
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
👉 Practical tip:
If you used to overlay weekly RSI(14) on a daily chart (getting a line that waits 5 sessions to recalculate), you can now read the same long-horizon state continuously : set RSI(70) on the daily chart (~14 weeks × 5 days/week = 70 days) and let the adaptive zones update every bar .
Note: It won’t be numerically identical to the weekly RSI due to lookback period used, but it tracks the same regime on a standardized scale with bar-by-bar updates.
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
Note: This framework describes statistical structure, not prediction. Use as part of a complete trading approach. Past behavior does not guarantee future outcomes.
framework ≠ guaranteed signal

Liquidity Void Zone Detector [PhenLabs]📊 Liquidity Void Zone Detector
Version: PineScript™v6
📌 Description
The Liquidity Void Zone Detector is a sophisticated technical indicator designed to identify and visualize areas where price moved with abnormally low volume or rapid momentum, creating "voids" in market liquidity. These zones represent areas where insufficient trading activity occurred during price movement, often acting as magnets for future price action as the market seeks to fill these gaps.
Built on PineScript v6, this indicator employs a dual-detection methodology that analyzes both volume depletion patterns and price movement intensity relative to ATR. The revolutionary 3D visualization system uses three-layer polyline rendering with adaptive transparency and vertical offsets, creating genuine depth perception where low liquidity zones visually recede and high liquidity zones protrude forward. This makes critical market structure immediately apparent without cluttering your chart.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Dual detection algorithm combining volume threshold analysis and ATR-normalized price movement sensitivity for comprehensive void identification
Three-layer 3D visualization system with progressive transparency gradients (85%, 78%, 70%) and calculated vertical offsets for authentic depth perception
Intelligent state machine logic that tracks consecutive void bars and only renders zones meeting minimum qualification requirements
Dynamic strength scoring system (0-100 scale) that combines inverted volume ratios with movement intensity for accurate void characterization
Adaptive ATR-based spacing calculation that automatically adjusts 3D layering depth to match instrument volatility
Efficient memory management system supporting up to 100 simultaneous void visualizations with automatic array-based cleanup
🔧 Core Components
Volume Analysis Engine: Calculates rolling volume averages and compares current bar volume against dynamic thresholds to detect abnormally thin trading conditions
Price Movement Analyzer: Normalizes bar range against ATR to identify rapid price movements that indicate liquidity exhaustion regardless of instrument or timeframe
Void Tracking State Machine: Maintains persistent tracking of void start bars, price boundaries, consecutive bar counts, and cumulative strength across multiple bars
3D Polyline Renderer: Generates three-layer rectangular polylines with precise timestamp-to-bar index conversion and progressive offset calculations
Strength Calculation System: Combines volume component (inverted ratio capped at 100) with movement component (ATR intensity × 30) for comprehensive void scoring
🔥 Key Features
Automatic Void Detection: Continuously scans price action for low volume conditions or rapid movements, triggering void tracking when thresholds are exceeded
Real-Time Visualization: Creates 3D rectangular zones spanning from void initiation to termination, with color-coded depth indicating liquidity type
Adjustable Sensitivity: Configure volume threshold multiplier (0.1-2.0x), price movement sensitivity (0.5-5.0x), and minimum qualifying bars (1-10) for customized detection
Dual Color Coding: Separate visual treatment for low liquidity voids (receding red) and high liquidity zones (protruding green) based on 50-point strength threshold
Optional Compact Labels: Toggle LV (Low Volume) or HV (High Volume) circular labels at void centers for quick identification without visual clutter
Lookback Period Control: Adjust analysis window from 5 to 100 bars to match your trading timeframe and market volatility characteristics
Memory-Efficient Design: Automatically manages polyline and label arrays, deleting oldest elements when user-defined maximum is reached
Data Window Integration: Plots void detection binary, current strength score, and average volume for detailed analysis in TradingView's data window
🎨 Visualization
Three-Layer Depth System: Each void is rendered as three stacked polylines with progressive transparency (85%, 78%, 70%) and calculated vertical offsets creating authentic 3D appearance
Directional Depth Perception: Low liquidity zones recede with back layer most transparent; high liquidity zones protrude with front layer most transparent for instant visual differentiation
Adaptive Offset Spacing: Vertical separation between layers calculated as ATR(14) × 0.001, ensuring consistent 3D effect across different instruments and volatility regimes
Color Customization: Fully configurable base colors for both low liquidity zones (default: red with 80 transparency) and high liquidity zones (default: green with 80 transparency)
Minimal Chart Clutter: Closed polylines with matching line and fill colors create clean rectangular zones without unnecessary borders or visual noise
Background Highlight: Subtle yellow background (96% transparency) marks bars where void conditions are actively detected in real-time
Compact Labeling: Optional tiny circular labels with 60% transparent backgrounds positioned at void center points for quick reference
📖 Usage Guidelines
Detection Settings
Lookback Period: Default: 10 | Range: 5-100 | Number of bars analyzed for volume averaging and void detection. Lower values increase sensitivity to recent changes; higher values smooth detection across longer timeframes. Adjust based on your trading timeframe: short-term traders use 5-15, swing traders use 20-50, position traders use 50-100.
Volume Threshold: Default: 1.0 | Range: 0.1-2.0 (step 0.1) | Multiplier applied to average volume. Bars with volume below (average × threshold) trigger void conditions. Lower values detect only extreme volume depletion; higher values capture more moderate low-volume situations. Start with 1.0 and decrease to 0.5-0.7 for stricter detection.
Price Movement Sensitivity: Default: 1.5 | Range: 0.5-5.0 (step 0.1) | Multiplier for ATR-normalized price movement detection. Values above this threshold indicate rapid price changes suggesting liquidity voids. Increase to 2.0-3.0 for volatile instruments; decrease to 0.8-1.2 for ranging or low-volatility conditions.
Minimum Void Bars: Default: 10 | Range: 1-10 | Minimum consecutive bars exhibiting void conditions required before visualization is created. Filters out brief anomalies and ensures only sustained voids are displayed. Use 1-3 for scalping, 5-10 for intraday trading, 10+ for swing trading to match your time horizon.
Visual Settings
Low Liquidity Color: Default: Red (80% transparent) | Base color for zones where volume depletion or rapid movement indicates thin liquidity. These zones recede visually (back layer most transparent). Choose colors that contrast with your chart theme for optimal visibility.
High Liquidity Color: Default: Green (80% transparent) | Base color for zones with relatively higher liquidity compared to void threshold. These zones protrude visually (front layer most transparent). Ensure clear differentiation from low liquidity color.
Show Void Labels: Default: True | Toggle display of compact LV/HV labels at void centers. Disable for cleaner charts when trading; enable for analysis and review to quickly identify void types across your chart.
Max Visible Voids: Default: 50 | Range: 10-100 | Maximum number of void visualizations kept on chart. Each void uses 3 polylines, so setting of 50 maintains 150 total polylines. Higher values preserve more history but may impact performance on lower-end systems.
✅ Best Use Cases
Gap Fill Trading: Identify unfilled liquidity voids that price frequently returns to, providing high-probability retest and reversal opportunities when price approaches these zones
Breakout Validation: Distinguish genuine breakouts through established liquidity from false breaks into void zones that lack sustainable volume support
Support/Resistance Confluence: Layer void detection over key horizontal levels to validate structural integrity—levels within high liquidity zones are stronger than those in voids
Trend Continuation: Monitor for new void formation in trend direction as potential continuation zones where price may accelerate due to reduced resistance
Range Trading: Identify void zones within consolidation ranges that price tends to traverse quickly, helping to avoid getting caught in rapid moves through thin areas
Entry Timing: Wait for price to reach void boundaries rather than entering mid-void, as voids tend to be traversed quickly with limited profit-taking opportunities
⚠️ Limitations
Historical Pattern Indicator: Identifies past liquidity voids but cannot predict whether price will return to fill them or when filling might occur
No Volume on Forex: Indicator uses tick volume for forex pairs, which approximates but doesn't represent true trading volume, potentially affecting detection accuracy
Lagging Confirmation: Requires minimum consecutive bars (default 10) before void is visualized, meaning detection occurs after void formation begins
Trending Market Behavior: Strong trends driven by fundamental catalysts may create voids that remain unfilled for extended periods or permanently
Timeframe Dependency: Detection sensitivity varies significantly across timeframes; settings optimized for one timeframe may not perform well on others
No Directional Bias: Indicator identifies liquidity characteristics but provides no predictive signal for price direction after void detection
Performance Considerations: Higher max visible void settings combined with small minimum void bars can generate numerous visualizations impacting chart rendering speed
💡 What Makes This Unique
Industry-First 3D Visualization: Unlike flat volume or liquidity indicators, the three-layer rendering with directional depth perception provides instant visual hierarchy of liquidity quality
Dual-Mode Detection: Combines both volume-based and movement-based detection methodologies, capturing voids that single-approach indicators miss
Intelligent Qualification System: State machine logic prevents premature visualization by requiring sustained void conditions, reducing false signals and chart clutter
ATR-Normalized Analysis: All detection thresholds adapt to instrument volatility, ensuring consistent performance across stocks, forex, crypto, and futures without constant recalibration
Transparency-Based Depth: Uses progressive transparency gradients rather than colors or patterns to create depth, maintaining visual clarity while conveying information hierarchy
Comprehensive Strength Metrics: 0-100 void strength calculation considers both the degree of volume depletion and the magnitude of price movement for nuanced zone characterization
🔬 How It Works
Phase 1: Real-Time Detection
On each bar close, the indicator calculates average volume over the lookback period and compares current bar volume against the volume threshold multiplier
Simultaneously measures current bar's high-low range and normalizes it against ATR, comparing the result to price movement sensitivity parameter
If either volume falls below threshold OR movement exceeds sensitivity threshold, the bar is flagged as exhibiting void characteristics
Phase 2: Void Tracking & Qualification
When void conditions first appear, state machine initializes tracking variables: start bar index, initial top/bottom prices, consecutive bar counter, and cumulative strength accumulator
Each subsequent bar with void conditions extends the tracking, updating price boundaries to envelope all bars and accumulating strength scores
When void conditions cease, system checks if consecutive bar count meets minimum threshold; if yes, proceeds to visualization; if no, discards the tracking and resets
Phase 3: 3D Visualization Construction
Calculates average void strength by dividing cumulative strength by number of bars, then determines if void is low liquidity (>50 strength) or high liquidity (≤50 strength)
Generates three polyline layers spanning from start bar to end bar and from top price to bottom price, each with calculated vertical offset based on ATR
Applies progressive transparency (85%, 78%, 70%) with layer ordering creating recession effect for low liquidity zones and protrusion effect for high liquidity zones
Creates optional center label and pushes all visual elements into arrays for memory management
Phase 4: Memory Management & Display
Continuously monitors polyline array size (each void creates 3 polylines); when total exceeds max visible voids × 3, deletes oldest polylines via array.shift()
Similarly manages label array, removing oldest labels when count exceeds maximum to prevent memory accumulation over extended chart history
Plots diagnostic data to TradingView’s data window (void detection binary, current strength, average volume) for detailed analysis without cluttering main chart
💡 Note:
This indicator is designed to enhance your market structure analysis by revealing liquidity characteristics that aren’t visible through standard price and volume displays. For best results, combine void detection with your existing support/resistance analysis, trend identification, and risk management framework. Liquidity voids are descriptive of past market behavior and should inform positioning decisions rather than serve as standalone entry/exit signals. Experiment with detection parameters across different timeframes to find settings that align with your trading style and instrument characteristics.
