ATR Stop LinesATR Stop Lines
Plots dynamic stop-loss levels on the price chart based on ATR (Average True Range). Optionally adjusts stop distance based on volatility regime.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 WHAT IT DOES
Green line — Long stop (Close − ATR × multiplier)
Red line — Short stop (Close + ATR × multiplier)
Lines move with price and volatility. When regime-adjust is enabled, stop distance widens in high volatility and tightens in low volatility.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📐 REGIME-ADJUSTED MULTIPLIERS
When enabled, the multiplier auto-adjusts based on the ATR percentile:
LOW (< 25th pctl) — 1.0× ATR — Tight stops, small moves expected
NORMAL (25–50th pctl) — 1.5× ATR — Standard distance
HIGH (50–75th pctl) — 2.0× ATR — Wider to avoid noise
EXTREME (> 75th pctl) — 2.5× ATR — Widest, or skip the trade
Disable regime-adjust to use a fixed multiplier for all conditions.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📈 HOW TO USE
Entry: Note stop line level when entering a trade. Set stop-loss at or beyond that level.
Trailing: Move stop to new line level as price advances in your favor.
Sizing: Wider stop = smaller position to maintain constant risk.
Example:
BTC Daily, ATR = \$2,000, Regime = HIGH (2.0×)
Entry: \$50,000 → Long stop: \$46,000 / Short stop: \$54,000

ATR Volatility RegimeATR Volatility Regime
A volatility classification indicator that uses ATR (Average True Range) percentile ranking to identify LOW , NORMAL , HIGH , or EXTREME volatility conditions.
Displayed as a separate pane oscillator (0–100 scale) with colored zones.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💡 WHY THIS INDICATOR?
Most volatility indicators show raw ATR — a number without context. Is ATR = 50 high or low? Depends on the asset and recent history.
This indicator answers: "Is current volatility high or low for THIS asset, right now?"
What it adds over standard ATR:
Percentile context — Compares current ATR to its own history
Regime classification — Actionable labels instead of raw numbers
Visual zones — Instant read without interpretation
Optional MTF — Lock to a fixed timeframe while viewing another
Auto-adapts — Works on any asset without manual threshold tuning
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📐 CORE CONCEPTS
ATR (Average True Range)
Measures volatility in price units — how much an asset typically moves per bar. Directionless (magnitude only, not direction).
Calculation:
True Range = the greatest of:
High − Low (current bar's range)
|High − Previous Close| (gap up captured)
|Low − Previous Close| (gap down captured)
ATR = Moving average of True Range over N bars (default: 14)
Percentile Rank (Pctl)
Answers: "What percentage of historical values is the current value greater than?"
Pctl = 0% → Lowest ATR in lookback period (extreme compression)
Pctl = 50% → Median ATR (typical volatility)
Pctl = 100% → Highest ATR in lookback period (extreme expansion)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 WHAT IT DOES
Classifies current volatility into four regimes:
LOW (< 25th percentile) — Compression, breakout likely brewing
NORMAL (25th–50th percentile) — Typical market conditions
HIGH (50th–75th percentile) — Elevated volatility, use caution
EXTREME (> 75th percentile) — Rare expansion, tighten stops or stay flat
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 DISPLAY COMPONENTS
Oscillator Line (0–100)

Status Label
VOL — Current regime
ATR — Raw ATR value (for stop sizing)
Pctl — Percentile rank (0–100%)
TF — Active timeframe (chart or fixed)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📈 HOW TO USE
LOW Volatility (Pctl < 25%):
Market compressed — "calm before the storm"
Watch for breakout setups
Pctl = 0% often precedes significant moves
NORMAL Volatility (Pctl 25–50%):
Typical conditions
Standard position sizing and stops
HIGH Volatility (Pctl 50–75%):
Elevated movement — reduce size
Widen stops to avoid noise
EXTREME Volatility (Pctl > 75%):
Rare, intense conditions
Avoid new entries or tighten risk

Crypto — 100 bars (fast regime shifts)
Stocks — 252 bars (one trading year)
Forex — 100–150 bars
Commodities — 150–200 bars (seasonal patterns)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔔 ALERTS
Vol → EXTREME
Vol → HIGH
Vol → LOW
Vol exits HIGH
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💡 PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
Stop-Loss Sizing:
Use raw ATR for stops. Example: Stop = Entry − (1.5 × ATR)
Position Sizing:
Reduce size when percentile is HIGH or EXTREME.
Entry Filtering:
LOW regime = prepare for breakout
EXTREME regime = avoid new entries
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📝 NOTES
Works on any timeframe — adapts to chart or locks to fixed TF
ATR is non-directional — magnitude only
Percentile auto-adapts to each asset's volatility profile

PrecisionViper# Precision Viper — TradingView Description
---
**Overview**
Precision Viper is a momentum breakout indicator designed for scalping and intraday trading. It identifies high-probability entry points by combining volume spikes, price momentum, relative strength, and optional compression detection into a confluence-based system.
When conditions align, Viper plots entry arrows with automatic ATR-based target and stop levels — giving you a complete trade setup, not just a signal.
---
**What Makes This Indicator Unique**
Most breakout indicators rely on a single condition: price crossing a level, or volume exceeding a threshold. Viper requires multiple factors to align before triggering, reducing false signals in choppy markets.
The indicator features an optional Confirmation Bar system that waits for price to break the signal bar's high (for longs) or low (for shorts) before plotting — eliminating repaint issues and ensuring signals only appear after confirmation.
Additional enhanced filters include EMA trend alignment, higher timeframe bias, time-of-day restrictions, and minimum volatility requirements — all independently toggleable to match your trading approach.
---
**How It Works**
Viper calculates five core conditions and requires them to align before generating a signal:
**1. Compression Detection (Optional)**
Measures current ATR relative to its average. When ATR contracts below a threshold (85% for Viper mode, 95% for Moderate mode) for a specified number of bars, the market is considered "coiled" — storing energy for a potential breakout. When Compression Mode is Off, this filter is bypassed.
**2. Volume Spike**
Compares current volume to its moving average. A signal requires volume to exceed the average by a configurable multiplier (default 2x for Standard mode, 1.5x for Aggressive, 2.5x for Conservative). This confirms institutional participation in the move.
**3. Momentum Ignition**
Measures the percentage price change from the previous bar. Long signals require upward momentum exceeding the threshold (default 0.3%). Short signals require downward momentum. This catches the initial thrust of a breakout.
**4. Relative Strength (Optional)**
Compares the stock's performance to a benchmark (default: SPY) over a lookback period. Long signals favor stocks outperforming the benchmark; short signals favor underperformers. This filter can be disabled for crypto or non-correlated assets.
**5. VWAP Filter (Optional)**
For long signals, price should be at or above VWAP. For short signals, price should be at or below VWAP. This aligns entries with intraday institutional bias.
---
**Confirmation Bar Logic**
When enabled, Viper does not plot a signal immediately. Instead, it waits for the next bar to break the signal bar's high (for longs) or low (for shorts). If confirmation does not occur within 3 bars, the pending signal expires. This prevents repainting and ensures you only see confirmed setups.
---
**Enhanced Filters**
These additional filters can be enabled independently:
**EMA Trend Filter** — Requires price to be above EMA for longs, below for shorts. Keeps you aligned with the prevailing trend.
**Higher Timeframe Bias** — Checks if the higher timeframe (default: 15m) shows price above/below its EMA. Filters against counter-trend trades.
**Time Filter** — Restricts signals to a specific trading window (default: 9:30-10:30 ET). Useful for focusing on the opening hour when momentum is strongest.
**Minimum Volatility Filter** — Requires ATR to be at least a percentage of price. Avoids low-volatility environments where breakouts often fail.
---
**Signal Modes**
Select the mode that matches your trading style:
Standard — Balanced settings (2x volume multiplier, 0.3% momentum threshold). Good starting point for most traders.
Aggressive — Lower thresholds (1.5x volume, 0.2% momentum). More signals, faster entries, but more potential whipsaws.
Conservative — Higher thresholds (2.5x volume, 0.5% momentum). Fewer signals, higher conviction setups only.
---
**Compression Modes**
Off — No compression requirement. Signals trigger on volume + momentum alone.
Moderate — Loose compression filter (ATR below 95% of average for 2 bars). Catches earlier breakouts.
Viper — Strict compression filter (ATR below 85% of average for 3 bars). Only triggers after extended coiling periods.
---
**Target Zones**
When a signal triggers, Viper automatically plots:
Target 1 — Default 1.0x ATR from entry (first profit target)
Target 2 — Default 1.5x ATR from entry (extended target)
Stop Loss — Default 0.75x ATR from entry (risk level)
All multipliers are adjustable. Lines display for a configurable number of bars after the signal.
---
**Info Table**

Compression — Current state (Coiled/Hunting) and mode
Volume — Current volume as percentage of average
Trend — Current EMA trend direction (if enabled)
RS — Relative strength versus benchmark

A Note on Settings
The Enhanced Filters (Confirmation Bar, EMA Trend, Higher Timeframe, Minimum Volatility, Relative Strength) are designed for high-momentum stocks that make sharp, decisive moves. For lower-volatility names or stocks that move more slowly, these filters may be too restrictive and prevent signals from firing.
If you're not seeing signals on a particular stock, try disabling some or all of the Enhanced Filters. The core system (Volume Spike + Momentum + VWAP) works across most instruments — the filters add conviction but reduce frequency.
Experiment with the settings to find what works best for your trading style and the instruments you trade.

ATR Multi Confluence BUY/SELL LITEATR Multi Confluence Dashboard LITE - TradingView Publication
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚠️ IMPORTANT: This is the FREE LITE version with NO ALERTS
- Full visual functionality for manual trading and evaluation
- Cannot send notifications or automate trading
- Perfect for testing before upgrading to the full version with alerts
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
OVERVIEW
This indicator combines 13 technical indicators into a comprehensive confluence system that generates BUY and SELL signals based on multi-timeframe analysis. It features dynamic ATR-based take profit and trailing stop loss levels, VWAP acceptance filters, and configurable trading session time windows designed for scalping and day trading.
The LITE version provides complete visual functionality including signal generation, TP/SL lines, confluence dashboard, and all filtering capabilities. However, it does NOT include any alert functionality - making it suitable for manual trading, strategy evaluation, and optimization before considering the full version with automation capabilities.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
WHAT MAKES THIS INDICATOR ORIGINAL
Multi-Confluence Scoring System: Aggregates 13 independently configurable technical indicators (RSI, VWAP, EMA crosses, MACD, Stochastic, Bollinger Bands, ADX, Momentum, Volume Breakout, VWAP Bands, 200 EMA, 50 EMA Trend, and Price Action patterns) into a single percentage-based signal strength metric. Each indicator can be individually enabled or disabled, allowing traders to create custom confluence combinations tailored to their specific markets and trading styles.
VWAP Acceptance Kill Switch: Automatically blocks counter-VWAP trades after price acceptance is confirmed for a configurable number of consecutive closes, preventing trades against established institutional positioning. Visual markers (⛔) appear on the chart when VWAP acceptance blocks activate, providing transparency into when the filter prevents counter-trend signals.
Separate ATR Timeframe Control: Allows users to calculate TP/SL levels using a different timeframe's ATR (e.g., 1-minute ATR for tighter stops on 5-minute charts). This provides granular control over risk management parameters independent of the main indicator's calculation timeframe.
Dynamic Trailing Stop: Real-time ATR-based trailing stop that locks in profits as price moves favorably, recalculating on every bar. The trailing stop only moves in the favorable direction, creating a ratcheting effect that protects gains while giving positions room to breathe based on current market volatility.
Three Independent Take Profit Targets: TP1, TP2, and TP3 levels with individual ATR multipliers, each toggleable and color-customizable. This allows traders to scale out of positions at multiple price levels, managing risk and locking in partial profits while letting runners work.
Trading Session Time Filters: Three independently configurable time windows (London, NY Open, Afternoon) with intuitive 12-hour format inputs and timezone offset adjustment. Traders can limit signal generation to specific market hours known for higher liquidity or better performance, avoiding choppy lunch periods or overnight low-volume conditions.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW IT WORKS
The indicator calculates a confluence percentage by counting how many enabled indicators agree on bullish or bearish bias. When the percentage exceeds the user-defined threshold (default 60%) for a specified number of confirmation bars, a visual BUY or SELL signal appears on the chart.
Signal Generation Logic:
• Each enabled indicator contributes 1 point to either bullish or bearish confluence
• Confluence % = (Agreeing Indicators / Total Enabled) × 100
• Signals trigger when threshold is met for N consecutive bars
• Optional VWAP filter: only allows longs above VWAP and shorts below VWAP
• VWAP acceptance kill switch blocks trades against VWAP after confirmed acceptance
• Time filters restrict signals to specified trading session windows
TP/SL Calculation:
• Entry price set at signal close
• TP levels = Entry ± (ATR × user-defined multiplier)
• Stop loss = Entry ∓ (ATR × user-defined multiplier)
• Trailing stop updates each bar: new_sl = close ∓ (ATR × multiplier), only moves in favorable direction
• Visual lines and labels show entry, TP1, TP2, TP3, and SL levels on chart
Time Filter Operation:
• Convert 12-hour format inputs to 24-hour with timezone offset adjustment
• Compare current bar time against configured session windows
• When enabled: signals only generate during active trading sessions
• Session markers and background highlighting provide visual feedback
• Each session (London/NY/Afternoon) can be independently toggled on/off
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

INTENDED USE
This LITE version is designed for:
✓ Manual Discretionary Trading: Use visual signals and TP/SL lines for manual trade execution
✓ Strategy Evaluation: Test the confluence approach before committing to paid automation
✓ Optimization & Development: Find optimal settings for your instruments and timeframes
✓ Learning Confluence Trading: Understand how multiple indicators align in real-time
✓ Backtesting Review: Visually review historical signals to assess system quality
This indicator is NOT suitable for:
✗ Automated Trading: No alerts means no automation capabilities
✗ Unattended Monitoring: Must manually watch chart for signals
✗ Notification-Based Trading: Cannot receive alerts when away from screen
Best suited for traders who:
• Want to evaluate the system's signal quality before upgrading
• Prefer manual discretionary entries based on confluence analysis
• Trade only during specific hours when they can monitor charts
• Are developing custom confluence strategies for their markets
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS
⚠️ NO ALERTS = NO AUTOMATION
The LITE version contains zero alert functionality. You must manually monitor the chart for signals. This means:
- You will miss signals when away from the screen
- You cannot automate entries or exits
- You cannot receive phone/desktop/email notifications
- You cannot connect to webhook platforms like Trade Manager, 3Commas, etc.
Not a Holy Grail: No indicator guarantees profits. Past confluence patterns do not predict future performance. This is a technical analysis tool that requires proper risk management and trading discipline.
Requires Optimization: Default settings are starting points. Users must backtest and optimize for their specific markets and timeframes. What works on NQ may need adjustment for EUR/USD or BTC/USD.
Lagging Indicators: Most confluence components (EMAs, MACD, RSI) are derived from price, creating inherent lag. The indicator cannot predict future price movements, only assess current alignment of multiple technical factors.
False Signals in Choppy Markets: High confluence can occur during ranging/whipsaw conditions when indicators conflict. The confirmation bars setting and VWAP acceptance filter help reduce false signals but cannot eliminate them entirely.
Trailing Stop Considerations: Trailing stops use close price, not high/low, which may result in wider stops during volatile candles with large wicks. The stop updates on bar close, not intrabar.
No Repainting: All calculations use confirmed bar data; signals appear on bar close per confirmation settings. However, during real-time bar formation, confluence percentages update tick-by-tick until the bar closes and the signal finalizes.
Timezone Considerations: Time filters require proper timezone offset configuration. For CME futures (NQ, ES, etc.) trading from EST, use offset = 1. Verify session markers appear at correct times on your chart and adjust offset as needed.

EEQI [Environment Quality Index] PyraTime The Problem: Why Good Strategies Fail
The number one reason traders lose capital is not a lack of strategy—it is forced execution in poor environments.
Most indicators (RSI, MACD, Stochastic) are continuously active, generating signals even when the market is dead, choppy, or chaotic. A breakout strategy that prints money in a trend will destroy your account in a consolidation range. A mean-reversion system that works in chop will fail during a parabolic expansion.
The Solution: PyraTime EEQI The Execution Environment Quality Index (EEQI) is a "Gatekeeper" layer for your trading. It does not tell you what to buy or sell; it tells you if you should be trading at all.
By aggregating Volatility, Price Structure, and Efficiency into a single composite score, the EEQI answers the most critical question in discretionary trading: "Is the market efficient enough to deploy capital right now?"
How It Works: The 3 Core Engines
The EEQI calculates a raw "Environment Score" (from -2 to +4) by analyzing three distinct dimensions of price action.
1. Volatility Engine (Usability)
The Logic: Measures the "Alive-ness" of the market using ATR Percentiles.
The Filter: It detects "Dead Zones" (where price is too flat to hit targets) and "Chaos Zones" (where volatility is too dangerous).
Smart Feature (Parabolic Override): If price moves significantly (>2x ATR) in a single candle, the engine recognizes this as "High Momentum" rather than chaos, unlocking Green signals during breakouts.
2. Structure Engine (Bar Quality)
The Logic: Analyzes the relationship between candle bodies, wicks, and overlap.
The Filter: It penalizes "Barbed Wire" price action—candles with long wicks and high overlap—which indicate indecision and algo-chop.
The Goal: We want to trade during "Clean Flow," where candle bodies are large and overlap is low.
3. Efficiency Engine (Directional Flow)
The Logic: Compares Net Displacement (start-to-finish distance) vs. Total Distance Traveled.
The Filter: Identifies "Whipsaw" conditions where price moves a lot but goes nowhere.
Smart Feature (Velocity Lock): If price travels a massive distance quickly, the efficiency requirement is relaxed to catch explosive moves that might otherwise look "messy."
The "Smart Gatekeepers"
Even if the Core Engines look good, the EEQI applies three final safety checks before granting a PRIME status.
Regime Persistence (Stability Check): The market must hold a high score for a set number of bars (default: 1) before the signal turns Green. This prevents "fake-outs" where a single anomaly candle tricks you into entering a bad trend.
Volume Validation (Liquidity Check): Price movement without participation is a trap. The EEQI checks Relative Volume (RVOL). If volume is below average (e.g., lunch hour, holidays, or late-night sessions), the score is capped at "Fair" or "Low Vol," preventing execution in thin liquidity.
Macro Context (HTF Filter): You cannot trade against the higher timeframe. The EEQI checks the trend and volatility of the Higher Timeframe (default: Weekly). If the macro view is compressed or dead, the local signal is vetoed.
How to Read the HUD
The Dashboard (Bottom Right) gives you an instant read on the market state.
🟢 PRIME (+4): Execution Optimal. The market is trending, efficient, and backed by volume. This is the "Green Light" for your strategy.
🔵 FAIR (+1 to +3): Tradeable. Conditions are decent, but one factor (e.g., volume or structure) is imperfect. Exercise caution.
⚪ NEUTRAL (0): Indecision. The market is transitioning. Stand aside.
🟡 BUILDING: Wait. The market is good, but hasn't proven itself yet (Persistence Check).
🟠 POOR / LOW VOL: Chop. Price is messy or lacking participation.
🔴 AVOID (-2): Danger Zone. The market is either dead flat or violently chaotic. Do not trade.
Settings & Customization
The indicator comes with calibrated presets for different asset classes:
Crypto: Tolerates higher volatility and requires stronger efficiency confirmation.
Forex: Stricter dead-zone filters to handle ranging sessions.
Indices: Balanced settings for standard equity hours.

Precision AlgoGuard# Precision AlgoGuard — TradingView Description
---
## Overview
Precision AlgoGuard is a market quality scoring indicator designed to identify unfavorable trading conditions in real-time. Unlike signal generators that tell you when to enter, AlgoGuard tells you when NOT to trade by detecting traps, false breakouts, and absorption patterns before they damage your positions.
The indicator outputs a 0-100 quality score along with a simple three-state system: OK (green), CAUTION (yellow), or NO TRADE (red).
---
## What Makes This Indicator Unique
Most trap detection tools draw static zones on the chart and leave interpretation to the trader. AlgoGuard takes a different approach: it analyzes each bar in real-time using multiple detection methods, combines them into a single tradability score, and automatically adjusts its sensitivity based on the asset class you're trading.
A wick trap on a microcap stock looks very different from one on SPY. AlgoGuard accounts for this through behavior-tuned parameters that shift thresholds based on your selected mode (Micro, Small, Mid, Large, ETF, or Crypto).
---
## How It Works
The indicator calculates a base score using normalized volume and range metrics, then applies penalties when it detects specific warning patterns:
**VWAP Pinning Detection**
When price remains stuck within a narrow band around VWAP for an extended period, it often signals institutional accumulation/distribution or indecision — conditions that produce choppy, unpredictable moves. AlgoGuard measures what percentage of recent bars have closed within a behavior-tuned ATR distance from VWAP.
**Wick Trap Detection**
Identifies bars where the wick dominates the range while the body remains small, occurring at recent swing highs or lows. This pattern suggests a stop-hunt or failed breakout — price pushed through a level to trigger stops, then immediately reversed. The detection requires the wick to exceed a threshold percentage of total range AND price to fail holding above/below the prior extreme.
**Fake Breakout Detection**
Monitors for breakouts that lack follow-through or participation. When price breaks a recent high but fails to hold above that level in subsequent bars, AND volume and range are below participation thresholds, AlgoGuard flags it as a fake breakout.
**Absorption Detection**
Detects the combination of: elevated volume (spike above average), compressed range (small bar relative to ATR), and high wickiness. This pattern often indicates large players absorbing supply/demand — the market is "churning" and a directional move may follow, but the current bar is not the time to enter.
**Low Volatility Penalty**
When ATR falls into the bottom 20th percentile of its recent range, a penalty is applied. Low volatility environments often produce false signals and whipsaws.
---
## Scoring Logic
The score starts at a base value calculated from:
- Range relative to ATR (normalized, capped contribution)
- Volume relative to average (normalized, capped contribution)
Penalties are then subtracted for each detected condition:
- Wickiness penalty (scaled by wick-to-range ratio)
- VWAP pinning penalty
- Wick trap penalty
- Fake breakout penalty
- Absorption penalty
- Low volatility penalty
The final score is clamped between 0-100.
---
## State System
**NO TRADE (Red)** — Score falls below threshold OR absorption/fake breakout detected. Avoid new entries.
**CAUTION (Yellow)** — Score is moderate OR VWAP pinning/wick trap detected. Proceed carefully, reduce size, or wait for confirmation.
**OK (Green)** — Score is healthy, no major warnings active. Normal trading conditions.
---
## Behavior Modes
Select the mode that matches your instrument:
| Mode | Best For |
|------|----------|
| Micro | Sub-$500M market cap stocks |
| Small | $500M - $2B market cap |
| Mid | $2B - $10B market cap |
| Large | $10B+ large caps |
| ETF | Index ETFs (SPY, QQQ, etc.) |
| Crypto | Cryptocurrency pairs |
Each mode adjusts multiple internal parameters including VWAP pin band width, wick trap ratios, absorption thresholds, participation requirements, and score thresholds.
---
## Settings

**Volume Average Length** (Default: 30) — Lookback for volume moving average used to detect relative volume spikes.
**ATR Percentile Length** (Default: 100) — Period for determining ATR percentile ranking to identify low volatility regimes.
**VWAP Pin Lookback Bars** (Default: 12) — Number of bars analyzed for VWAP pinning detection.
**Breakout Lookback** (Default: 20) — Period for identifying recent swing highs/lows used in wick trap and fake breakout detection.
**Follow Through Bars** (Default: 2) — Number of bars price must hold above breakout level to confirm legitimacy.
---
## Display Options
**Show Background** — Highlights bars where absorption, fake breakouts, or wick traps are detected.
**Label Position / Size** — Customize the info table location and text size.
**Colors** — Customize OK, Caution, No Trade, and Event label colors.
---
## How To Use
AlgoGuard is designed as a filter, not a signal generator. Use it alongside your existing strategy:
1. Before entering any trade, check AlgoGuard's state
2. If RED (No Trade): Stand aside regardless of your setup
3. If YELLOW (Caution): Reduce position size or require additional confirmation
4. If GREEN (OK): Proceed with normal risk parameters
The background shading helps you visually identify which specific condition triggered a warning — yellow shading for wick traps/fake breakouts, darker shading for absorption.
---
## Alerts
Four alert conditions are available:
- No Trade condition triggered
- Caution condition triggered
- Absorption detected
- Fake Breakout detected
- Wick Trap detected
---
## Important Notes
- This indicator does not repaint — states are determined on bar close
- AlgoGuard is a filter/context tool, not an entry signal generator
- No indicator can predict the future; use proper risk management
- Best used on intraday timeframes (1m - 1H) though works on all timeframes

ARVEX Bias MeterARVEX Bias Meter is a market-context indicator designed to summarize multiple structural market inputs into a single, normalized bias score.
It is intended to help traders determine whether current conditions favor long exposure, short exposure, or neutrality.
This indicator does not generate trade entries. It provides context only and should be used as a filter or regime framework in combination with a separate execution method and proper risk management.
⸻
Core Concept
Market structure is evaluated using four independent components, each normalized and weighted into a unified bias score:
Trend (EMA slope)
Measures directional pressure using a baseline EMA and its slope over time, normalized via Z-score analysis and stabilized with non-linear compression.
Momentum (MACD / ATR)
Evaluates momentum as the difference between fast and slow EMAs, scaled by ATR to remain volatility-aware across instruments and timeframes.
RSI Bias
Classic RSI, normalized around its neutral zone to express directional pressure rather than overbought/oversold conditions.
Money Flow Bias (MFI)
Volume-weighted directional pressure derived from the Money Flow Index and scaled into the same bias range.
All components are blended into a single score ranging from –1 to +1, which is displayed as a smooth oscillator below price.
⸻
Regime States
Based on configurable thresholds, the indicator identifies three structural regimes:
• Long-only → bullish directional context
• Short-only → bearish directional context
• Neutral → unclear or low-quality structure
These regimes are designed for trade filtering, risk alignment, and strategy activation, not for standalone signal generation.
⸻
Presets & Sensitivity Profiles
Three presets control smoothing, thresholds, and responsiveness:
• Conservative – stronger confirmation, fewer regime changes
• Balanced – general-purpose profile (default)
• Aggressive – faster adaptation, lower thresholds
All parameters can be fine-tuned manually if needed.
⸻
Volatility Gate (ATR Filter)
An optional ATR% filter suppresses regime changes during low-volatility conditions, helping avoid structurally weak environments.
⸻
Higher-Timeframe Alignment (Optional)
A higher-timeframe EMA can be used as a structural filter.
Bias states are allowed only when aligned with the selected higher-timeframe trend.
Higher-timeframe values update intrabar and finalize when the higher-timeframe candle closes.
This alignment acts as a filter, not as confirmation of future price movement.
⸻
Smart Reversal Dots
Optional reversal dots highlight early context shifts when bias momentum changes near active thresholds.
They are designed as warnings of potential regime transitions.
Reversal dots are not trade signals, and they may disappear or change as conditions evolve.
⸻
HUD Panel
A real-time panel displays:
• Current bias state
• Internal confidence strength
• Volatility (ATR%)
• Active thresholds
• Selected preset
Confidence reflects internal score strength only, not probability or expected performance.
⸻
Intended Use
ARVEX Bias Meter is suited for:
• Strategy filters
• Regime detection
• Risk alignment
• Higher-timeframe context
• Trade permission systems
It is a context engine, not a prediction tool.
Always combine with a complete trading plan and sound risk management.

## 🔱 **Shiva Zone Indicator — True Consolidation Detection**
The **Shiva Zone Indicator** identifies true consolidation phases in any market using a powerful shrinking-range algorithm. Instead of relying on fixed ranges or ATR compression alone, this model detects **micro-consolidation** by comparing tightening volatility windows, ensuring only **high-quality, compact zones** are plotted.
Most consolidation indicators produce long, extended boxes.
**Shiva Zone does not.**
It only marks consolidation when price tightens *locally*, making it ideal for breakout traders.
---
## 🔍 **How the Indicator Works**
A *Shiva Zone* is detected when:
* The recent price range is **shrinking** compared to the previous one
* Volatility compresses naturally
* Price stays within a narrow percentage threshold
* Expansion stops the zone (no endless boxes)
This ensures consolidation is identified **precisely where traders need it**, not over hundreds of candles.
When consolidation ends, volatility expansion triggers a zone closure.
Breakouts above or below the box can lead to explosive moves.
---
## ⚡ **Included Alerts**
The indicator includes 4 powerful, actionable alerts:
1. **Shiva Zone Started** – A new consolidation zone is forming
2. **Shiva Zone Ended** – Volatility begins expanding
3. **Bullish Breakout** – Price breaks above the Shiva Zone
4. **Bearish Breakout** – Price breaks below the Shiva Zone
These alerts make it easy to automate breakout entries or monitor compression zones across markets.
---
## 🎯 **Best Use Cases**
* Breakout Trading
* Scalping
* Intraday Structure Trading
* Swing Breakout Analysis
* Compression / Expansion Mapping
* Multi-Timeframe Structure Tracking
Works perfectly on **Forex, Indices, Crypto, Commodities, and Stocks**.
---
## 📌 **Recommended Settings**
* Lookback: **8–20**
* Max % Range: **0.4–0.8**
* Minimum Bars Inside Zone: **4–6**
Shorter settings → more sensitive
Longer settings → stronger zones
---
## 🧠 **Why It's Called “Shiva Zone”**
In market mythology:
* **Brahma** = Creation of momentum
* **Vishnu** = Sustaining the trend
* **Shiva** = Compression before transformation
The **Shiva Zone** is the phase where the market contracts its energy before a structural shift or breakout.

This indicator is an entirely proprietary rewrite based on **Vedic + SALSA© Interpretation of Market Birth**, and does **not reuse or copy** any external code. It is not affiliated with or derived from any other indicator.
---
## 🔱 **What Is a Brahma Creation Field (BCF)?**
In SALSA© Market Dynamics:
* **Brahma** = Creation
* **Vishnu** = Continuation
* **Shiva** = Transformation (destruction/reset)
A **BCF** is the *birth moment* of a new price narrative —
a zone created when price displaces strongly enough to leave a gap between the candle and the candle two bars earlier.
This is interpreted as:
* **Bullish BCF** → A strong upward creation event
* **Bearish BCF** → A strong downward creation event
These “Creation Fields” often act as **reaction points, continuation areas, or reversal zones**.

BK AK-Tomahawk🚀👑 BK AK–TOMAHAWK — Guided Momentum Strike Engine (Early Flip) 👑🚀
All glory to G-d — the source of wisdom, restraint, and right timing.
AK is honor — discipline, patience, clean execution. No gambling. No noise.
Update / Record: A previous version of this publication was hidden by PineCoders moderator Demons due to insufficient description. This republish includes a fully self-contained explanation of what the script does, how it works, how to use it, and what makes the build original.
🧠 What It Does (Straight)
Tomahawk is a normalized momentum engine that measures force in three layers so you stop entering on appearance and start entering on commitment:
Momentum = directional pressure (normalized ROC)
Velocity = ignition / rate-of-change of pressure
Acceleration = continuation vs. failure of ignition
Then it adds permission gates so signals print only when the move is authorized (optional gates):
Squeeze → Expansion (stored energy → release)
VWAP / Trend EMA / Volume gate (tape + structure + participation)
HTF alignment (higher timeframe agrees)
NY session control (optional)
Tomahawk is not a “color-change oscillator.” It’s a guidance + permission engine.
🛰️ The Guidance Stack (Flight Computer)
Price source: hlc3
Core pipeline:
ROC(momLen)
Z-score normalize over normLen
Scale to oscillator range
Smooth → MOMENTUM (momSmoothL, smoother type selectable)
Smooth momentum → SIGNAL (sigLen)
Derived force layers:
VELOCITY = Δ(momentum), then normalized over velNormLen and smoothed (velSmoothL)
ACCELERATION = Δ(velocity)
🎯 What Prints “L / S” (Thrust = Permission)
A thrust is not just a crossover.
A thrust is a crossover plus ignition + continuation + gates.
Thrust Long (L)
Momentum crosses above Signal with separation (|mom - sig| ≥ minSep)
Velocity > velTh
Acceleration > 0
Optional gates must pass (your settings):
Trend EMA filter (if enabled): price > EMA(trendLen)
VWAP filter (if enabled, intraday only): price > VWAP
Volume gate (if enabled): volume > SMA(volume, volLen) × volMult
HTF alignment (if enabled): HTF momentum ≥ HTF signal and HTF velocity > 0
NY session (if enabled): inside 0930–1600 NY time
Squeeze gate (if enabled): see squeeze release logic below
Thrust Short (S)
Exact inverse:
Cross down + separation
Velocity < −velTh
Acceleration < 0
Optional gates inverted accordingly
Translation: Tomahawk doesn’t “suggest.” It authorizes.
🟡 Squeeze → Expansion (Permission Gate)
This uses volatility of velocity:
Squeeze: velStd < velStdAvg * sqMult
Expansion: velStd > velStdAvg * expMult
Release: squeeze → expansion
If enabled, thrust signals can be gated so they fire only on/after release.
🟠 Exhaustion Dots (Fuel Warning — Don’t Chase)
When momentum/velocity reaches extremes and acceleration flips against the move, Tomahawk prints exhaustion:
Exhaust Up: strong push losing drive (accel < 0 at extremes)
Exhaust Down: heavy sell losing drive (accel > 0 at extremes)
This is not a “magic reversal button.” It’s fuel analysis.
🧰 Controls That Matter (Read this once, save hours)
leadTh: how early color flips off velocity (deadband + memory = early without constant flicker)
minSep: cross quality (raise to cut spam)
velTh: ignition requirement (raise to demand real thrust)
useSqueeze: only fire on release (cleanest mode)
HTF: stop fighting higher timeframe posture
VWAP: keep trades aligned with tape on intraday
🖥 Visuals (Made to read fast)
Momentum line (green/red, optional early flip)
Ice signal line + fill
Velocity columns + line (neon cyan/violet)
Acceleration area (deep tones)
Squeeze background + posture zones
L/S thrust markers + exhaustion dots
Optional: markers on price or in pane.
✅ How To Use (Simple Playbook)
If squeeze is enabled, wait for release or you’re early by definition.
Treat L/S thrust as the entry standard (cross + velocity + accel + gates).
Use HTF alignment to avoid fighting the higher timeframe.
Use exhaustion dots as the greed-check: protect, trim, or stop pressing.
🔔 Alerts Included
Thrust Long / Thrust Short
Exhaustion Up / Exhaustion Down
⚠️ Limitations (Honest)
Choppy ranges can whipsaw cross-based logic—use minSep, velTh, HTF, and/or squeeze gating.
VWAP filter is intraday-only.
This is an indicator, not position sizing/risk management.
👑 King Solomon Lens — The Two Mothers Test (Discernment by Pressure)
Solomon didn’t accept claims. He introduced a pressure event that forced reality to reveal itself.
That’s what Tomahawk does to price action:
Momentum is the claim. Everyone has a claim.
Velocity is the pressure test: is the claim moving with force or just talking?
Acceleration is the reveal: does the force strengthen, or collapse under scrutiny?
Squeeze → Expansion is the courtroom moment: compression builds, then the market must testify on release.
Solomon didn’t crown impulse — he crowned what survives examination.
Tomahawk is built in that spirit: discernment first, action second.
🙏 Respect + Seal
Respect to AK — discipline, patience, clean execution.
All glory to G-d — the source of wisdom and endurance.
🚀👑 BK AK–TOMAHAWK — guidance on, permission verified, strike clean. 👑🚀

Use it on any ticker to see whether the instrument reacts to macro-political news.
Best used on the daily timeframe.
ATR_MA_dATR, one of the most important indicators for measuring volatility, is available as a standard tool on TradingView. However, I have created an indicator that also displays a moving average of ATR at the same time.
This indicator is designed to be used primarily on daily charts. The ATR calculation period is set to 14 by default, and regardless of the chart timeframe, the indicator is configured by default to display weekly ATR. Both the ATR period and the moving average period can be customized by the user.
By using this weekly ATR, it becomes possible to quantitatively track changes in volatility on a daily chart. In particular, this indicator is effective for identifying Mark Minervini’s VCP (Volatility Contraction Pattern).
Relative Volume Suite [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Relative Volume Suite is a comprehensive volume analysis system that combines normalized volume measurements with statistical anomaly detection to identify and track significant trading activity deviations from established baselines. The indicator employs a dual-mode visualization approach by offering both relative volume (RVOL) histogram display for standard volume screening and cumulative directional RVOL candlesticks for tracking sustained volume momentum patterns. Through statistical analysis using moving averages and standard deviation, the system identifies volume anomalies that deviate from normal market behavior, flagging potential institutional activity, breakout confirmations, and accumulation/distribution patterns. This quantitative framework provides traders with a systematic methodology for volume regime identification, anomaly detection across raw or normalized volume data, and dynamic threshold-based screening across diverse market conditions and trading timeframes.
🟢 How It Works
The indicator calculates relative volume (RVOL) by dividing current bar volume by its simple moving average over a user-defined lookback period, producing a normalized ratio where values above 1.0 indicate higher-than-average volume and values below 1.0 represent lower-than-average activity. This normalization enables direct comparison of volume significance across different securities and time periods, eliminating the need to assess absolute volume numbers which vary dramatically between instruments.
The system also constructs a cumulative directional volume metric by calculating a running sum of relative volume, where up bars (close > open) contribute positive RVOL values and down bars contribute negative values. This cumulative calculation tracks the persistent alignment of volume with price direction over time, creating a momentum pathway that reveals sustained buying or selling pressure patterns.
The anomaly detection system operates through statistical analysis to flag unusual volume events. The system calculates a moving average baseline of the selected source using user-defined MA types over the anomaly MA length period, while simultaneously measuring standard deviation over the anomaly standard deviation length period. When the source data deviates from its moving average by more than one standard deviation, the indicator flags an anomaly, highlighting the bar with distinct coloring to draw attention to statistically significant volume events that fall outside normal market behavior patterns.
🟢 How to Use It
▶ Anomaly Detection: Anomaly-flagged bars appear in bright, attention-grabbing colors distinct from normal volume bars. Green anomalies on up bars highlight unusual buying volume that exceeds statistical norms, potentially signaling institutional accumulation, breakout confirmation, or reversal capitulation. Red anomalies on down bars reveal unusual selling volume, flagging potential distribution, breakdown validation, or panic selling events. The anomaly system acts as a filter, automatically screening thousands of bars to surface statistically significant volume events that may warrant detailed analysis.
Configure the anomaly detection parameters based on your trading style and timeframe. Lower Anomaly MA Length creates responsive anomaly detection that catches emerging volume regime changes quickly but may flag more normal variations. Higher Anomaly MA Length requires stronger evidence, detecting only major structural volume shifts with fewer false positives. The Anomaly StdDev Length controls sensitivity: lower values flag smaller deviations as anomalies for aggressive short-term trading, while higher values require extreme statistical significance for conservative longer-term analysis. For day trading, use shorter parameters to catch intraday volume spikes. For swing trading, use balanced settings. For position trading, use longer parameters to filter noise and identify only major volume events.
▶ Display Mode Selection: Choose Relative Volume mode for standard volume analysis and screening applications. In this mode, the histogram bars show when current volume exceeds average levels, with the threshold line providing visual reference for screening setups. Bars extending above the threshold line indicate potentially elevated volume worthy of attention. Use this mode when scanning multiple securities for volume breakouts, confirming price breakout validity, or identifying potential reversal points marked by volume climaxes.
Switch to Cumulative RVOL mode when tracking volume momentum and accumulation/distribution patterns over time. The candlestick visualization reveals whether volume is consistently supporting the prevailing price trend. Rising cumulative RVOL during an uptrend suggests buying pressure may be fueling the advance, while rising cumulative RVOL during a downtrend (or falling during uptrend) signals potential divergence where volume momentum opposes price direction, often a warning sign of weakening trend integrity. The zero line serves as the neutral reference point, with movement away from zero indicating building directional volume momentum.
▶ Trading Applications: Consider combining anomaly volume signals with other technical indicators for confluence-based trade decisions. For example, when anomaly volume appears on up bars near key support levels defined by moving averages or VWAP, this confluence of volume confirmation with technical structure may strengthen the case for long entries. Similarly, anomaly volume at resistance levels identified through pivot points or Fibonacci retracements could suggest potential reversal zones worth monitoring.
For breakout trading, look for elevated RVOL (above threshold) combined with anomaly detection when price breaks through significant levels like prior day highs, consolidation ranges, or moving average clusters. The presence of unusual volume alongside technical breakouts may indicate institutional participation validating the move. Conversely, breakouts occurring without corresponding volume anomalies might suggest lower conviction moves more susceptible to failure.
In trend-following strategies, use the indicator alongside directional tools like moving average crossovers or trend channels. Anomaly volume appearing in the direction of the established trend (buying anomalies during uptrends, selling anomalies during downtrends) could suggest continuation potential, while counter-trend anomalies may signal weakening momentum or potential reversals requiring closer monitoring.
Monitor the bar coloring feature which overlays volume-based colors directly onto price candles. This provides continuous visual feedback on whether current bars represent normal or anomalous volume conditions without needing to reference the separate volume pane. Consecutive anomaly-colored bars indicate sustained unusual activity, often preceding or confirming significant price moves.
▶ Alert Configuration: The indicator provides six distinct alert types for comprehensive volume monitoring. "RVOL Threshold Crossed" triggers when relative volume exceeds your defined threshold multiplier, useful for screening high-volume breakout candidates across multiple watchlists. "Volume Anomaly - Buying" and "Volume Anomaly - Selling" fire specifically when the statistical anomaly system detects directional unusual volume, enabling you to monitor institutional activity as it emerges. "Extreme Volume Spike" alerts when volume reaches significantly above the standard threshold, flagging only the most dramatic volume events like earnings releases, news events, or climactic reversals. "High Volume Buying" and "High Volume Selling" combine threshold crossing with directional confirmation, providing alerts that integrate both magnitude and direction of volume pressure.
▶ Visual Customization: The indicator offers six color presets (Classic, Aqua, Cosmic, Ember, Neon, Custom) optimized for different chart themes. Classic uses traditional green/red for universal compatibility, while Aqua, Cosmic, Ember, and Neon provide high-contrast alternatives for dark themes and personal preferences. Custom mode allows complete color control for matching corporate branding or specific visual requirements. The distinction between normal volume colors (neutral grays) and anomaly colors (bright attention-grabbing hues) helps statistically significant events stand out against baseline volume activity, supporting visual pattern recognition across multiple charts and timeframes.

Daily maximum price range for Credit SpreadsVolatility & Momentum for Credit Spreads
It is a specialized mean-reversion tool designed primarily for options traders focusing on Credit Spreads (specifically 0DTE on SPX) and intraday reversals. By combining Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) with VIX-adjusted volatility bands, this indicator identifies statistical extremes where price is likely to revert.
Unlike standard Bollinger Bands or Keltner Channels, TITAN adapts its width based on real-time implied volatility (VIX), ensuring that your "overextended" zones are accurate whether the market is calm or chaotic.
🎯 Core Concept
The indicator relies on the principle that price moves within a definable "Daily Range" relative to the VWAP. When price pushes to the outer limits of this range while simultaneously hitting RSI extremes; it signals a high-probability reversal setup ideal for selling premium.
🛠 How It Works
The engine is built on three pillars:
Volatility-Adaptive Bands: The bands are calculated using a 14-day Average Daily Range (ADR), which is then dynamically scaled by the current VIX relative to a baseline. If VIX spikes, the bands widen instantly to keep you safe from premature entries.
Momentum Triggers: Signals are generated only when the RSI (14) hits extreme Overbought (>70) or Oversold (<30) levels.
"Golden Hour" Filtering: To avoid market open noise or late-day chop, the indicator includes a customizable time filter (Default: 10:15 – 11:30 AM EST). Signals outside this window are suppressed to enforce trading discipline.
🚀 Key Features
Visual Strategy Simulation: The indicator now includes a built-in "Strike Simulator." Upon the first valid signal of the session, it automatically plots a horizontal "Strike Line" at the Outer Band ± a user-defined buffer (e.g., 10 points). This helps you visualize your theoretical strike price for the rest of the day.
Bull & Bear Zones: Color-coded fills (Green for Bullish Buy Zones, Red for Bearish Sell Zones) make it easy to see market context at a glance.
Live Dashboard: A Heads-Up Display (HUD) in the bottom right shows real-time RSI values, Golden Hour status, and current signal state.
Unified Alert System: A single master alert condition triggers if price hits an RSI extreme OR touches a volatility band during your active trading window.
📉 How to Trade It (Example Strategy)
Wait for the Window: Ensure the "Golden Hour" on the dashboard reads ACTIVE (Default 10:15 AM EST).
Identify the Zone: Short Setup (Call Credit Spread): Price pushes into the Red Zone (Outer High). Long Setup (Put Credit Spread): Price pushes into the Green Zone (Outer Low).
Confirm the Signal: Look for the Diamond Icon. This confirms RSI has hit the extreme threshold.
Check the "Strike Line": Use the simulated horizontal line to identify where your short strike would be (Outer Band + Buffer) to verify it is at a safe distance from current price.
⚙️ Settings
ADR Length: Lookback period for daily range calculation (Default: 10).
Baseline VIX:* The standard VIX level used for normalization (Default: 15.0).
Inner/Outer Multipliers: Controls the width of the bands.
Golden Hour: The specific time window for valid signals.
Strike Buffer: Points added to the outer band to simulate your option strike price.

OT Zones Pro | Intraday Quantitative & Macro LevelsNote to Moderators & Community: First and foremost, I would like to offer my sincere apologies if the previous description of this tool was insufficient or lacked the technical depth required to demonstrate its originality. My intention is solely to provide a robust analytical tool for the community based on specific mathematical models, and never to mislead or cause harm to any trader. We are committed to transparency regarding the methodology used while protecting the proprietary values of the code.
Concept & Methodology OT Zones Pro is not a standard Support & Resistance indicator, nor does it use public domain formulas like Fibonacci, Pivot Points, or standard Moving Averages. Instead, it is a custom-built Quantitative Volatility Model designed to identify high-probability institutional interest areas specifically for Intraday Trading .
The script operates on two distinct proprietary layers:
Dynamic Volatility Bands (The Math): Unlike static levels or common open-source indicators, this engine operates on a strict institutional quantitative perspective . It calculates dynamic thresholds where each asset class triggers a unique calculation logic. This logic is derived from the asset's specific inherent volatility and potential intraday structural pivoting points, strictly based on mathematical modeling rather than standard technical indicators. This allows the script to project "Primary Dynamic Resistances" (PDR) and "Dynamic Supports" (PDS) that adapt to the asset's specific nature during the session.
Hard-Coded Macro Data (The Database): The script contains an internal, encrypted database of annually pre-calculated macro market zones . These are not generated by recent high/low candles but are fixed structural levels injected into the chart based on proprietary annual analysis. The plotting mechanism controls the visibility of these zones by considering a specific expected movement threshold unique to each asset, ensuring that levels are only displayed when they are statistically relevant to the current price action (filtering out noise).
Optimized for Intraday: The logic relies on Session Open data anchors (09:30 EST), making it designated for timeframes between 1 minute and 30 minutes .
Auto-Asset Recognition (Supported Markets): The script automatically detects the ticker and applies the correct mathematical model for:
Nasdaq: QQQ (ETF), NQ/MNQ (Futures), US100, NAS100 (CFDs).
S&P 500: SPY (ETF), ES/MES (Futures), US500 (CFDs).
Dow Jones: DIA (ETF), YM/MYM (Futures), US30 (CFDs).
Russell 2000: IWM (ETF), RTY/M2K (Futures), US2000 (CFDs).
Bitcoin: IBIT (ETF), BTC (Futures CME), Crypto Spot & Crypto futures.
Metals: Gold & Silver (ETF, Futures, CFDs).
Sentiment Analysis Panel: A real-time logic module that analyzes price behavior throughout the trading session. The sentiment classification is derived from the relationship between the current price and the calculated PDR/PDS levels, combined with an additional layer of private, encrypted quantitative logic to determine the market bias (Neutral, Bullish, Bearish, Extreme).
Macro Zone Alerts: Includes a "Trigger on Entry" feature, allowing traders to set server-side alerts specifically when price breaches a defined Macro Zone.
Why is this "Invite-Only"? The source code is protected because it contains:
Proprietary Math: The asset-specific logic and volatility calculations are the result of extensive quantitative research and are not public domain.
Curated Database: The specific price arrays for the Macro Zones are intellectual property derived from pre-calculated annual structures, not generic chart reading.
Risk Disclaimer & Feedback We are fully open to suggestions and constructive feedback from the community to improve this tool. Our goal is to aid analysis, not to generate financial loss. Please remember that this indicator provides technical levels based on probabilities; it does not guarantee future performance. Trading involves significant risk.
Mismatch Strategy | Madrimov tradeTitle
Mismatch Strategy by Madrimov trade – Gold vs DXY Impulse and Compression
Description
Concept
This indicator is based on a cross-market mismatch principle between Gold (XAUUSD) and the US Dollar Index (DXY).
It looks for situations where DXY expands aggressively while Gold temporarily fails to respond, creating a build-up of directional pressure that is often released once Gold breaks its short-term range.
Methodology (High-Level Overview)
The script evaluates three conditions on the same chart timeframe:
DXY Impulse Detection
A directional impulse on DXY is detected when the candle’s range exceeds a multiple of its ATR, indicating unusually strong participation rather than normal fluctuation.
Gold Compression Filter
At the same time, Gold must remain compressed, defined as a candle range significantly smaller than its own ATR.
This represents under-reaction or absorption despite external pressure.
Delayed Breakout Confirmation
Trades are triggered only after the mismatch occurs and Gold subsequently breaks its recent high or low over a configurable lookback period.
This delay avoids chasing impulses and focuses on release after compression.
Why This Is Different
Unlike traditional trend or correlation indicators, this script does not trade direction directly.
Instead, it evaluates effort versus response across two related markets, filtering out low-quality momentum and false breakouts.
The strategy focuses on:
Cross-asset pressure imbalance
Volatility-normalized conditions
Sequential confirmation rather than instant signals
How to Use
Designed primarily for XAUUSD charts
Works best on intraday timeframes (5m–15m)
Signals are strongest when aligned with higher-timeframe bias
Buy and sell signals are plotted directly on candles
Optional RR visualization can be enabled for reference
Limitations
Not predictive; signals are generated after candle close
Performance degrades during extremely low-liquidity or news-driven spikes
Intended as a decision-support tool, not a standalone trading system

SuperTrend Momentum ShiftST Momentum Shift – Confirmed Flip with Structured Entry
This indicator identifies high-quality SuperTrend momentum flips and validates them using EMA trend alignment, RSI strength, volume confirmation, and recent price structure.
A flip is printed only when all rules pass, ensuring no visual noise.
Entries are defined after the flip candle, using a configurable buffer (percent or ATR) to avoid false breakouts and stop-loss hunting.
Stop-loss is placed beyond the flip candle extreme, with a fixed 1:1 risk-reward target.
A color-coded table clearly shows:
Pass/Fail status of each rule for the current printed flip
Trade direction and lifecycle (Pending → Open → Closed)
Entry, SL, Target, buffer, and risk
Designed for non-repainting, rule-based intraday trading on F&O stocks.
