Multi-TF 👀### Multi-Timeframe Analysis (MTF-Analysis)
**Overview**
The Multi-Timeframe Analysis indicator is a powerful visualization tool designed for traders who incorporate multi-timeframe (MTF) strategies into their decision-making process. It overlays compact, customizable candle representations from up to four higher timeframes directly on your chart, positioned to the right of the last bar for quick reference. This allows you to monitor price action, momentum via EMAs, and key levels like Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) across multiple resolutions without switching charts. Built with efficiency in mind, it supports automatic timeframe detection, real-time updates, and a clean, non-intrusive design that enhances your trading workflow.
Ideal for day traders, swing traders, and scalpers, this indicator helps identify alignments between timeframes, spot potential reversals or continuations, and validate entries/exits based on higher-timeframe context. It leverages Pine Script v6 for smooth performance, with optimizations to handle up to 5000 bars back and extensive drawing limits.
**Key Features**
- **Multi-Timeframe Candle Display**: Renders recent candles (configurable from 5 to 100 per timeframe) from selected higher timeframes (e.g., 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H) as compact bars with customizable width, spacing, and padding. Bullish and bearish candles are color-coded for instant recognition.
- **Automatic Timeframe Adaptation**: When enabled, the indicator intelligently selects complementary timeframes based on your chart's resolution (e.g., on a 1m chart, it might show 5m, 15m, and 1H). Manual overrides are available for full control.
- **EMA Overlays**: Plots EMA9, EMA21, and EMA50 on each MTF section using a user-defined source (e.g., OHLC/4, close). EMAs can be dashed for clarity and enabled/disabled per timeframe, helping to gauge momentum and trend strength.
- **Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)**: Detects bullish (+FVG) and bearish (-FVG) gaps with a configurable lookback length (5-50 bars). Gaps are visualized as dotted boxes extending from the candle, highlighting potential support/resistance zones or imbalances.
- **Time Labels and Debugging**: Displays timestamp labels under every fourth candle for chronological context. A debug mode expands spacing and adds detailed labels (e.g., OHLC, volume, EMA values) for testing and verification.
- **Customization Options**: Extensive inputs for colors (bodies, wicks, EMAs, FVGs), label sizes/styles, and layout ensure seamless integration with your chart theme. Supports futures symbols with a time offset adjustment.
- **Performance Optimizations**: Uses arrays for efficient data management, clears drawings on realtime updates or timeframe changes, and limits buffer sizes to prevent overload.
**How to Use**
1. Add the indicator to your chart via TradingView's "Indicators" menu.
2. Configure timeframes: Enable/disable up to four TFs and set the number of candles to display. Use "Auto Timeframe" for smart defaults.
3. Adjust EMAs: Select the source type and toggle per TF to focus on relevant momentum signals (e.g., EMA9 crossovers for short-term trades).
4. Enable FVGs: Activate per TF and tweak the length to suit your market (shorter for volatile assets, longer for trends).
5. Fine-tune appearance: Modify padding, candle width, and colors to avoid clutter. Use debug mode during setup.
6. Interpret: Align your chart's price action with MTF candles—look for confluence in trends, FVGs filling as support/resistance, or EMA alignments for high-probability setups.
**Input Settings**
- **General**: Hour offset for time adjustments (useful for futures).
- **Timeframes**: Enable TFs 1-4, select resolutions (e.g., "5m"), and set candle counts. Auto mode simplifies this.
- **FVG/iFVG**: Toggle per TF, customize colors and detection length.
- **EMA**: Enable per TF, choose source, colors, and dashed style.
- **Candle Appearance**: Bull/bear colors for bodies/wicks, width/spacing/padding, label size/color.
- **Debug**: Expands view for detailed inspection.
**Notes**
- This indicator is non-repainting and updates in realtime, but performance may vary on lower timeframes with many candles—reduce counts if needed.
- FVGs are calculated locally on recent bars for efficiency; historical gaps beyond the buffer aren't shown.
- Compatible with all symbols, but best on volatile markets like forex, crypto, or indices.
- Feedback welcome—updates may include more MA types or advanced FVG filters.

Multi Timeframe BOS & rBOSThis is the same Multi-Timeframe Break of Structure and Market Structure Shift posted by Lenny_Kiruthu. However, the only difference is the naming of Market Structure Shift to rBOS (Break of Structure Reverse). To me, they are all break of structures when previous peaks or valleys are violated. The only difference is in sequence. Once a sequence of BOS reverses, then a new sequence begins. To me, this simplifies the various terminology incorporated by different systems such as ICT or SMT which adds unnecessary complexity.

Estimated Manipulation Movement Signal [AlgoPoint]Follow the Footprints of Whale Movements That Drive the Market
Overview
The market is not always driven by natural supply and demand. Large players—often called "whales" or institutions—can create artificial price movements to trigger stop-losses, induce panic or FOMO, and build their large positions at favorable prices. These events are known as "stop hunts" or "liquidity grabs."
The EMMS indicator is a specialized tool designed to detect these specific moments of potential market manipulation. It does not follow trends in a traditional sense; instead, it identifies high-probability reversal points created by the calculated actions of Smart Money trapping other market participants.
How It Works: The 3-Module Logic
The indicator uses a multi-stage confirmation process to identify a potential stop hunt:
1. Anomaly Detection: The engine first scans the chart for "Anomaly Candles." These are candles with unusually high volume and a very long wick relative to their body. This combination signals a sudden, forceful, and potentially unnatural price push.
2. Liquidity Zone Detection: The indicator automatically identifies and tracks recent significant swing highs and lows. These levels are considered "Liquidity Zones" because they are areas where a large number of stop-loss orders are likely clustered. These are the "hunting grounds" for whales.
3. The Stop Hunt Signal: A final signal is generated only when these two events align in a specific sequence:
An Anomaly Candle (high volume, long wick) spikes through a previously identified Liquidity Zone.
The same candle then reverses, closing back inside the previous price range.
This sequence confirms that the move was likely a "trap" designed to engineer liquidity, and a reversal in the opposite direction is now highly probable.
How to Interpret & Use This Indicator
BUY Signal: A BUY signal appears after a sharp price drop that pierces a recent swing low (taking out the stops of long positions) and then aggressively reverses to close higher. This suggests that Smart Money has absorbed the panic selling they just induced. The signal indicates a potential move UP.
SELL Signal: A SELL signal appears after a sharp price spike that pierces a recent swing high (taking out the stops of short positions) and then aggressively reverses to close lower. This suggests that Smart Money has sold into the FOMO buying they just created. The signal indicates a potential move DOWN.
This indicator is best used as a high-probability confirmation tool, ideally in conjunction with your understanding of the overall market trend and structure.

⚪ Liquidity Spike Marker
Description:
The Liquidity Spike Marker indicator helps to identify abnormal bursts of liquidity in the market. The logic is based on comparing the product of the volume by the minimum candle price (Volume × Low) with the threshold value set by the user.
When the value exceeds the threshold, a white triangle appears under the candle, indicating a possible influx of liquidity. This can help traders pay attention to the key points where large participants may enter the market.
Features:
Displays a placemark (⚪ white triangle) when the threshold is exceeded.
Configurable parameter Volume × Low Threshold.
The ability to set an alert for automatic notification.
A lightweight and minimalistic tool without unnecessary elements.
Note: The indicator is not a trading recommendation. Use it in combination with your own trading system and other analysis methods.

Market Pressure Oscillator█ OVERVIEW
The Market Pressure Oscillator is an advanced technical indicator for TradingView, enabling traders to identify potential trend reversals and momentum shifts through candle-based pressure analysis and divergence detection. It combines a smoothed oscillator with moving average signals, overbought/oversold levels, and divergence visualization, enhanced by customizable gradients, dynamic band colors, and alerts for quick decision-making.
█ CONCEPT
The indicator measures buying or selling pressure based on candle body size (open-to-close difference) and direction, with optional smoothing for clarity and divergence detection between price action and the oscillator. It relies solely on candle data, offering insights into trend strength, overbought/oversold conditions, and potential reversals with a customizable visual presentation.
█ WHY USE IT?
- Divergence Detection: Identifies bullish and bearish divergences to reinforce signals, especially near overbought/oversold zones.
- Candle Pressure Analysis: Measures pressure based on candle body size, normalized to a ±100 scale.
- Signal Generation: Provides buy/sell signals via overbought/oversold crossovers, zero-line crossovers, moving average zero-line crossovers, and dynamic band color changes.
- Visual Clarity: Uses dynamic colors, gradients, and fill layers for intuitive chart analysis.
Flexibility: Extensive settings allow customization to individual trading preferences.
█ HOW IT WORKS?
- Candle Pressure Calculation: Computes candle body size as math.abs(close - open), normalized against the average body size over a lookback period (avgBody = ta.sma(body, len)). - Candle direction (bullish: +1, bearish: -1, neutral: 0) is multiplied by body weight to derive pressure.
- Cumulative Pressure: Sums pressure values over the lookback period (Lookback Length) and normalizes to ±100 relative to the maximum possible value.
- Smoothing: Optionally applies EMA (Smoothing Length) to normalized pressure.
- Moving Average: Calculates SMA (Moving Average Length) for trend confirmation (Moving Average (SMA)).
- Divergence Detection: Identifies bullish/bearish divergences by comparing price and oscillator pivot highs/lows within a specified range (Pivot Length). Divergence signals appear with a delay equal to the Pivot Length.
- Signals: Generates signals for:
Crossing oversold upward (buy) or overbought downward (sell).
Crossing the zero line by the oscillator or moving average (buy/sell).
Bullish/bearish divergences, marked with labels, enhancing signals, especially near overbought/oversold zones.
Dynamic band color changes when the moving average crosses MA overbought/oversold thresholds (green for oversold, red for overbought).
- Visualization: Plots the oscillator and moving average with dynamic colors, gradient fills, transparent bands, and labels, with customizable overbought/oversold levels.
Alerts: Built-in alerts for divergences, overbought/oversold crossovers, and zero-line crossovers (oscillator and moving average).
█ SETTINGS AND CUSTOMIZATION
- Lookback Length: Period for aggregating candle pressure (default: 14).
- Smoothing Length (EMA): EMA length for smoothing the oscillator (default: 1). Higher values smooth the signal but may reduce signal frequency; adjust overbought/oversold levels accordingly.
- Moving Average Length (SMA): SMA length for the moving average (default: 14, minval=1). Higher values make SMA a trend indicator, requiring adjusted MA overbought/oversold levels.
- Pivot Length (Left/Right): Candles for detecting pivot highs/lows in divergence calculations (default: 2, minval=1). Higher values reduce noise but add delay equal to the set value.
- Enable Divergence Detection: Enables divergence detection (default: true).
- Overbought/Oversold Levels: Thresholds for the oscillator (default: 30/-30) and moving average (default: 10/-10). For the moving average, no arrows appear; bands change color from gray to green (oversold) or red (overbought), reinforcing entry signals.
- Signal Type: Select signals to display: "None", "Overbought/Oversold", "Zero Line", "MA Zero Line", "All" (default: "Overbought/Oversold").
- Colors and Gradients: Customize colors for bullish/bearish oscillator, moving average, zero line, overbought/oversold levels, and divergence labels.
- Transparency: Adjust gradient fill transparency (default: 70, minval=0, maxval=100) and band/label transparency (default: 40, minval=0, maxval=100) for consistent visuals.
- Visualizations: Enable/disable moving average, gradients for zero/overbought/oversold levels, and gradient fills.
█ USAGE EXAMPLES
- Momentum Analysis: Observe the MPO Oscillator above 0 for bullish momentum or below 0 for bearish momentum. The SMA, being smoother, reacts slower and can confirm trend direction as a noise filter.
- Reversal Signals: Look for buy triangles when the oscillator crosses oversold upward, especially when the SMA is below the MA oversold threshold and the band turns green. Similarly, seek sell triangles when crossing overbought downward, with the SMA above the MA overbought threshold and the band turning red.
- Using Divergences: Treat bullish (green labels) and bearish (red labels) divergences as reinforcement for other signals, especially near overbought/oversold zones, indicating stronger potential trend reversals.
- Customization: Adjust lookback length, smoothing, and moving average length to specific instruments and timeframes to minimize false signals.
█ USER NOTES
Combine the indicator with tools like Fibonacci levels or pivot points to enhance accuracy.
Test different settings for lookback length, smoothing, and moving average length on your chosen instrument and timeframe to find optimal values.
Hosoda’s CloudsMany investors aim to develop trading systems with a high win rate, mistakenly associating it with substantial profits. In reality, high returns are typically achieved through greater exposure to market trends, which inevitably lowers the win rate due to increased risk and more volatile conditions.
The system I present, called “Hosoda’s Clouds” in honor of Goichi Hosoda , the creator of the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo indicator, is likely one of the first profitable systems many traders will encounter. Designed to capture trends, it performs best in markets with clear directional movements and is less suitable for range-bound markets like Forex, which often exhibit lateral price action.
This system is not recommended for low timeframes, such as minute charts, due to the random and emotionally driven nature of price movements in those periods. For a deeper exploration of this topic, I recommend reading my article “Timeframe is Everything”, which discusses the critical importance of selecting the appropriate timeframe.
I suggest testing and applying the “Hosoda’s Clouds” strategy on assets with a strong trending nature and a proven track record of performance. Ideal markets include Tesla (1-hour, 4-hour, and daily), BTC/USDT (daily), SPY (daily), and XAU/USD (daily), as these have consistently shown clear directional trends over time.
Commissions and Configuration
Commissions can be adjusted in the system’s settings to suit individual needs. For evaluating the effectiveness of “Hosoda’s Clouds,” I’ve used a standard commission of $1 per order as a baseline, though this can be modified in the code to accommodate different brokers or preferences.
The margin per trade is set to $1,000 by default, but users are encouraged to experiment with different margin settings in the configuration to match their trading style.
Rules of the “Hosoda’s Clouds” System (Bullish Strategy)
This strategy is designed to capture trending movements in bullish markets using the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo indicator. The rules are as follows:
Long Entry: A long position is triggered when the Tenkan-sen crosses above the Kijun-sen below the Ichimoku cloud, identifying potential reversals or bounces in a bearish context.
Stop Loss (SL): Placed at the low of the candle 12 bars prior to the entry candle. This setting has proven optimal in my tests, but it can be adjusted in the code based on risk tolerance.
Take Profit (TP): The position is closed when the Tenkan-sen crosses below the bottom of the Ichimoku cloud (the minimum of Senkou Span A and Senkou Span B).
Notes on the Code
margin_long=0: Ideal for strategies requiring a fixed position size, particularly useful for manual entries or testing with a constant capital allocation.
margin_long=100: Recommended for high-frequency systems where positions are closed quickly, simulating gradual growth based on realized profits and reflecting real-world broker constraints.

MC WITH ALERTS DINESH SETHIYAManipulation Candle (MC): A candlestick that initially suggests price movement in one direction but then reverses, manipulating liquidity and closing in the opposite direction.
Types of MCs:
Bullish MC: Takes out the previous candle's low, reverses, takes out the previous candle's high, and closes above it.
Bearish MC: Takes out the previous candle's high, reverses, takes out the previous candle's low, and closes below it.
Ideal MC Characteristic: The rejection wick (bottom wick for bullish MC, top wick for bearish MC) should be larger than the directional wick.
Tristan's Star: 15m Shooting Star DetectorThis script is designed to be used on the 1-minute chart , but it analyzes the market as if you were watching the 15-minute candles.
Every cluster of 15 one-minute candles is grouped together and treated as a single 15-minute candle.
When that 15-minute “synthetic” candle looks like a shooting star pattern (small body near the low, long upper wick, short lower wick, bearish bias), the script triggers a signal.
At the close of that 15-minute cluster, the script will:
Plot a single “Sell” label on the last 1-minute bar of the group.
Draw a horizontal line across the 15 bars at the high, showing the level that created the shooting star.
Optionally display a table cell in the corner with the word “SELL.”
This lets you stay on the 1-minute timeframe for precision entries and exits, while still being alerted when the higher-timeframe (15-minute) shows a bearish reversal pattern.

CNagda Anchor2EntryCNagda Anchor2Entry Pine Script v6 overlay indicator pulls higher-timeframe (HTF) signal events to define anchor high/low levels and then projects visual entry labels on the lower-timeframe (LTF). It also draws auto-oriented Fibonacci retracement/extension levels for context, but it does not execute orders, stops, or targets—only visual guidance.
Inputs
Key inputs include Lookback Length for HTF scanning and a Signal Timeframe used with request.security to import HTF events onto the active chart.
Entry behavior can be set to “Confirm only” or “Wait candle,” trade side can be restricted to Buy/Sell/Both, and individual strategies (Buy WAIT/S1; Sell REV/S1/S2/S3) can be toggled.
HTF logic
The script defines WAIT/BUY setup and confirmation, SELL reversal on breaking the WAIT BUY low, and several volume/candle-based patterns (Sell S1/S2/S3, Buy S1).
It captures the associated highs/lows at those events with ta.valuewhen and imports them via request.security to form anchors (anc_hi/anc_lo) and “new trigger” booleans that gate label creation on the LTF.
Flip entries
When enabled, “Flip entries” generate contrarian labels based on breaking or confirming HTF anchors: crossing above anc_hi can trigger a flip-to-sell label, and crossing below anc_lo can trigger a flip-to-buy label.
The flip mode supports Immediate (on cross) or Confirm (on sustained break) to control how strict the trigger is.
Fibonacci drawing
User-specified Fib levels are parsed from a string, safely converted to floats, and drawn as dotted horizontal lines only when they fall inside an approximate visible viewport. Orientation (up or down) is decided automatically from pending signal direction and a simple context score (candle bias, trend, and price vs. mid), with efficient redraw/clear guards to avoid clutter.
Dynamic anchors
If HTF anchors are missing or too far from current price (checked with an ATR-based threshold), the script falls back to local swing highs/lows to keep the reference range relevant. This dynamic switch helps Fib levels and labels remain close to current market structure without manual intervention.
Signal labels
Labels are created only on confirmed bars to avoid repainting noise, with one “latest” label kept by deleting the previous one. The script places BUY/SELL labels for WAIT/CONFIRM, direct HTF patterns (Buy S1, Sell S1/S2/S3), and contrarian flip events, offset slightly from highs/lows with clear coloring and configurable sizes.
Visual context
Bars are softly colored (lime tint for bullish, orange tint for bearish) for quick context, and everything renders as an overlay on the price chart. Fib labels include a Δ readout (distance from current close), and line extension length, label sizes, and viewport padding are adjustable.
How to use
Set the Signal Timeframe and Lookback Length to establish which HTF structures and ranges will drive the anchors and entry conditions. Choose entry flow (Wait vs Confirm), enable Flip if contrarian triggers are desired, select the trade side, toggle strategies, and customize Fibonacci levels plus dynamic-anchor fallback for practical on-chart guidance.
Notes
This is a visual decision-support tool; it does not place trades, stops, or targets and should be validated on charts before live use. It is written for Pine Script v6 and relies heavily on request.security for HTF-to-LTF transfer of signals and anchors.
COT Non-Commercial Net PositionsThis indicator displays the net position of Non-Commercial traders (speculators) in futures markets by subtracting short positions from long positions, based on CFTC COT data. It fetches the relevant COT long and short values weekly (or as per the user-selected timeframe) and plots the net positions relative to zero.
Buyer vs Seller Control CompanionBuyer vs Seller Control Companion (Overlay)
Crossover signal overlay based on candlestick wick analysis moving averages
Overview:
This companion indicator displays crossover signals directly on the price chart based on the same buyer vs seller control calculations. It identifies moments when the relationship between buying and selling pressure shifts by analyzing where prices close relative to their intraday ranges.
Calculation Method:
The indicator uses identical calculations to the main Buyer vs Seller Control indicator:
Visual Components:
Lime Triangle Up: Appears below price bars when buyer control SMA crosses above seller control SMA
Fuchsia Triangle Down: Appears above price bars when seller control SMA crosses above buyer control SMA
Signal Logic:
Crossover events are detected when one moving average crosses above or below the other. These crossovers indicate potential shifts in the balance between buying and selling pressure as measured by candlestick closing positions relative to their wicks.
Arrow Placement:
Upward Triangle: Positioned below the bar when buyer control moving average exceeds seller control moving average
Downward Triangle: Positioned above the bar when seller control moving average exceeds buyer control moving average
Size: Small triangular shapes to avoid cluttering the price chart
Timing: Arrows appear only on bars where actual crossovers occur
Settings:
Moving Average Period: Adjustable from 1-200 periods (default: 20)
Technical Notes:
This overlay version works on any timeframe
Arrows only appear when crossovers actually occur, not on every bar
The indicator uses the same mathematical foundation as the main oscillator version
Signal frequency depends on the chosen moving average period
Shorter periods generate more frequent crossovers, longer periods generate fewer
Relationship to Main Indicator:
This companion overlay displays the exact crossover points that can be observed in the main Buyer vs Seller Control indicator. It provides the same information but presents it directly on the price chart for convenient reference without switching between indicator panes.
This overlay serves as a visual reference tool for crossover events detected in the underlying buyer vs seller control analysis.
Buyer vs Seller ControlBuyer vs Seller Control Analysis
Technical indicator measuring market participation through candlestick wick analysis
Overview:
This indicator analyzes the relationship between closing prices and candlestick wicks to measure buying and selling pressure. It calculates two key metrics and displays their moving averages to help identify market sentiment shifts.
Calculation Method:
The indicator measures two distinct values for each candle:
Buyer Control Value: Distance from candle low to closing price (close - low)
Seller Control Value: Distance from candle high to closing price (high - close)
Both values are then smoothed using a Simple Moving Average (default period: 20) to reduce noise and show clearer trends.
Visual Components:
Lime Line: 20-period SMA of buyer control values
Fuchsia Line: 20-period SMA of seller control values
Area Fill: Colored region between the two lines
Histogram: Difference between buyer and seller control SMAs
Zero Reference Line: Horizontal line at zero level
Information Table: Current numerical values (optional display)
Interpretation:
When the lime line (buyer control) is above the fuchsia line (seller control), it indicates that recent candles have been closing closer to their highs than to their lows on average.
When the fuchsia line is above the lime line, recent candles have been closing closer to their lows than to their highs on average.
Fill Color Logic:
Lime (green) fill appears when buyer control SMA > seller control SMA
Fuchsia (red) fill appears when seller control SMA > buyer control SMA
Fill transparency adjusts based on the magnitude of difference between the two SMAs
Stronger differences result in more opaque fills
Settings:
Moving Average Period: Adjustable from 1-200 periods (default: 20)
Show Info Table: Toggle to display/hide the numerical values table
Technical Notes:
The indicator works on any timeframe
Values are displayed in the same units as the underlying asset's price
The histogram shows the mathematical difference between the two SMA lines
Transparency calculation uses a 50-period lookback for dynamic scaling
This indicator provides a quantitative approach to analyzing candlestick patterns by focusing on where prices close relative to their intraday ranges.
Initial Balance Breakout Signals [LuxAlgo]The Initial Balance Breakout Signals help traders identify breakouts of the Initial Balance (IB) range.
The indicator includes automatic detection of IB or can use custom sessions, highlights top and bottom IB extensions, custom Fibonacci levels, and goes further with an IB forecast with two different modes.
🔶 USAGE
The initial balance is the price range made within the first hour of the trading session. It is an intraday concept based on the idea that high volume and volatility enter the market through institutional trading at the start of the session, setting the tone for the rest of the day.
The initial balance is useful for gauging market sentiment, or, in other words, the relationship between buyers and sellers.
Bullish sentiment: Price trades above the IB range.
Mixed sentiment: Price trades within the IB range.
Bearish sentiment: Price trades below the IB range.
The initial balance high and low are important levels that many traders use to gauge sentiment. There are two main ideas behind trading around the IB range.
IB Extreme Breakout: When the price breaks and holds the IB high or low, there is a high probability that the price will continue in that direction.
IB Extreme Rejection: When the price tries to break those levels but fails, there is a high probability that it will reach the opposite IB extreme.
This indicator is a complete Initial Balance toolset with custom sessions, breakout signals, IB extensions, Fibonacci retracements, and an IB forecast. All of these features will be explained in the following sections.
🔹 Custom Sessions and Signals
By default, sessions for Initial Balance and breakout signals are in Auto mode. This means that Initial Balance takes the first hour of the trading session and shows breakout signals for the rest of the session.
With this option, traders can use the tool for open range trading, making it highly versatile. The concept behind open range (OR) is the same as that of initial balance (IB), but in OR, the range is determined by the first minute, three or five minutes, or up to the first 30 minutes of the trading session.
As shown in the image above, the top chart uses the Auto feature for the IB and Breakouts sessions. The bottom chart has the Auto feature disabled to use custom sessions for both parameters. In this case, the first three minutes of the trading session are used, turning the tool into an Open Range trading indicator.
This chart shows another example of using custom sessions to display overnight NASDAQ futures sessions.
The left chart shows a custom session from the Tokyo open to the London open, and the right chart shows a custom session from the London open to the New York open.
The chart shows both the Asian and European sessions, their top and bottom extremes, and the breakout signals from those extremes.
🔹 Initial Balance Extensions
Traders can easily extend both extremes of the Initial Balance to display their preferred targets for breakouts. Enable or disable any of them and set the IB percentage to use for the extension.
As the chart shows, the percentage selected on the settings panel directly affects the displayed levels.
Setting 25 means the tool will use a quarter of the detected initial balance range for extensions beyond the IB extremes. Setting 100 means the full IB range will be used.
Traders can use these extensions as targets for breakout signals.
🔹 Fibonacci Levels
Traders can display default or custom Fibonacci levels on the IB range to trade retracements and assess the strength of market movements. Each level can be enabled or disabled and customized by level, color, and line style.
As we can see on the chart, after the IB was completed, prices were unable to fall below the 0.236 Fibonacci level. This indicates significant bullish pressure, so it is expected that prices will rise.
Traders can use these levels as guidelines to assess the strength of the side trying to penetrate the IB. In this case, the sellers were unable to move the market beyond the first level.
🔹 Initial Balance Forecast
The tool features two different forecasting methods for the current IB. By default, it takes the average of the last ten values and applies a multiplier of one.
IB Against Previous Open: averages the difference between IB extremes and the open of the previous session.
Filter by current day of the week: averages the difference between IB extremes and the open of the current session for the same day of the week.
This feature allows traders to see the difference between the current IB and the average of the last IBs. It makes it very easy to interpret: if the current IB is higher than the average, buyers are in control; if it is lower than the average, sellers are in control.
For example, on the left side of the chart, we can see that the last day was very bullish because the IB was completely above the forecasted value. This is the IB mean of the last ten trading days.
On the right, we can see that on Monday, September 15, the IB traded slightly higher but within the forecasted value of the IB mean of the last ten Mondays. In this case, it is within expectations.
🔶 SETTINGS

Stiffness IndexStiffness Index Indicator
Overview
The Stiffness Index is a technical analysis indicator created by Markos Katsanos and first introduced in the November 2018 issue of Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities magazine. This indicator attempts to recognize strong price trends by counting the number of times price was above the 100-day moving average during the indicator period.
Core Philosophy
The premise is the fewer number of times price penetrates the MA, the stronger the trend. The philosophy behind this indicator is that traders should trade when the trend is at its strongest point - when the trend is at its "stiffest". Based on the observation that in strong long-lasting uptrends, price seldom penetrates the 100-bar simple moving average, this indicator helps assess the quality and strength of an uptrend.
How It Works
The Stiffness Index operates through several key components:
1. Moving Average Baseline: Uses a 100-period moving average as the primary reference level
2. Volatility Threshold: Includes a volatility threshold to eliminate minor movements - typically 0.2 standard deviations to reject minimal penetrations above the moving average
3. Counting Mechanism: Calculates the stiffness coefficient as the ratio of the number of times the price has closed above the moving average during the indicator period to the length of that period
4. Smoothing: Applies additional smoothing to the final result for cleaner signals
Key Components
Input Parameters
- Period 1 (100): The moving average period for the baseline calculation
- MA Method 1: Type of moving average for the baseline (SMA, EMA, SMMA, LWMA)
- Summation Period (60): The lookback period for counting closes above the moving average
- Period 2 (3): Smoothing period for the final signal line
- MA Method 2: Smoothing method for the signal line
- Threshold Level (80): Reference level for identifying strong trends
Visual Elements
- Blue Signal Line: The main stiffness reading showing trend strength
- Dotted Line: Adjustable threshold level for reference
Interpretation and Trading Applications
Signal Readings
- High Values (Above Threshold): Indicates a "stiff" trend where price consistently stays above the moving average with minimal penetrations
- Low Values (Below Threshold): Suggests a weaker trend with frequent penetrations of the moving average
- Original threshold levels mentioned in research range from 75-95
Trading Strategy
The original strategy suggests entering long positions when the stiffness reading reaches 90 or higher, with exits when the reading drops below 50. Some implementations use a threshold of 75 for entry confirmation.
Key Characteristics
- Designed primarily for stocks and instruments with upward bias
- Trades infrequently - typically about once per year when using strict parameters
- Best suited for trend-following strategies in strongly trending markets
Advantages
- Trend Quality Assessment: Quantifies the "stiffness" or quality of trends
- Volatility Filtering: Built-in volatility threshold reduces false signals from minor price movements
- Objective Measurement: Provides a numerical assessment of trend strength
- Customizable: Multiple parameters allow adaptation to different markets and timeframes
Best Practices
- Use in conjunction with baseline trend indicators for confirmation
- Most effective in markets with strong directional bias
- Consider the low frequency of signals when developing trading strategies
- May not be suitable for instruments that "twitch up and down" frequently
*Note: This indicator is specifically designed to identify and trade the strongest trending periods, which naturally results in fewer but potentially higher-quality trading opportunities.*

StdDev Supertrend {CHIPA}StdDev Supertrend ~ C H I P A is a supertrend style trend engine that replaces ATR with standard deviation as the volatility core. It can operate on raw prices or log return volatility, with optional smoothing to control noise.
Key features include:
Supertrend trailing rails built from a stddev scaled envelope that flips the regime only when price closes through the opposite rail.
Returns-based mode that scales volatility by log returns for more consistent behavior across price regimes.
Optional smoothing on the volatility input to tune responsiveness versus stability.
Directional gap fill between price and the active trend line on the main chart; opacity adapts to the distance (vs ATR) so wide gaps read stronger and small gaps stay subtle.
Secondary pane view of the rails with the same adaptive fade, plus an optional candle overlay for context.
Clean alerts that fire once when state changes
Use cases: medium-term trend following, stop/flip systems, and visual regime confirmation when you prefer stddev-based distance over ATR.
Note: no walk-forward or robustness testing is implied; parameter choices and risk controls are on you.
