Next Candle PredictorAdvanced TradingView Indicator for Precise Buy and Sell Signals
Overview:
The Predicta Futures - Next Candle Predictor is a cutting-edge TradingView indicator designed to forecast the next candle's direction in futures and cryptocurrency markets. Leveraging a multi-indicator confluence strategy, this tool provides traders with actionable long and short prediction percentages, enhanced by dynamic ADX-based thresholds and visual projection candles. Ideal for scalping, day trading, or swing trading on platforms like MEXC or Binance futures, it combines Supertrend, MACD, RSI, Stochastic, ADX, and volume analysis to deliver high-probability buy and sell signals while minimizing false positives.
Key Features:
• Multi-Indicator Confluence Scoring:
Integrates Supertrend for trend direction, EMAs (8, 21, 50) for alignment, MACD for momentum crossovers, RSI for overbought/oversold conditions, Stochastic for divergence detection, ADX for trend strength, and volume ratios for confirmation. A customizable confluence score (0-6) ensures signals meet user-defined criteria, reducing whipsaws in volatile markets.
• Dynamic Prediction Thresholds:
ADX-driven adjustments lower the required prediction percentage (e.g., 60% in strong trends) for "PERFECT TIME" entries, adapting to market conditions like ranging or trending phases.
• Visual Analysis Table:
A sleek, color-coded dashboard displays progress bars for each indicator, prediction percentages, and status (e.g., "PERFECT TIME" or "WAIT"). Supports long and short analyses with intuitive ASCII bars for quick scans.
• Projection Candles:
Simulates potential next-candle outcomes with volatility-scaled (via Bollinger Bands width) green long and red short candles, aiding in visualizing price targets.
• Buy/Sell Signals and Alerts:
Generates labeled "BUY" and "SELL" arrows on EMA crossovers within confirmed trends, with separate alerts for basic signals and high-confluence "PERFECT TIME" opportunities.
• Customizable Inputs:
Adjust ATR periods, Supertrend factors, minimum confluence scores, and volume ratios to tailor the indicator for stocks, forex, or crypto perpetual futures.
How It Works:
This TradingView script calculates long and short scores using weighted contributions from key indicators, normalizing them into prediction percentages. A confluence check—factoring trend, EMA alignment, MACD, Stochastic, volume, and ADX—triggers "PERFECT TIME" only when conditions align robustly. For example:
• In a downtrend (Supertrend red), with bearish MACD and Stochastic, and sufficient volume, the indicator highlights short opportunities.
• Dynamic thresholds ensure aggressive entries in strong trends (ADX >25) and conservative ones in weak trends.
• Backtested for reliability, it excels in identifying reversals and continuations, making it a must-have for traders seeking an edge in futures trading strategies.
Usage Instructions:
1. Add the indicator to your TradingView chart. (Search: Next Candle Predictor)
2. Customize settings via the inputs panel (e.g., set minConfluence to 5 for stricter signals).

Quant-Action Pro: Triple Confluence EngineQuant-Action Pro: Triple Confluence Engine
Systematic Framework for Structural Price Action Analysis
Quant-Action Pro is a high-performance analytical engine designed to synchronize institutional liquidity flow with market geometry. Instead of traditional "signals," this framework identifies Structural States where three independent algorithmic layers align, providing a objective roadmap for the current price action context.
1. Core Algorithmic Matrix
The engine operates by monitoring the interaction between price and three proprietary logic layers:
A. Institutional Flow Node (SP2L) —
Logic: Monitors "Passive Liquidity Absorption" at the 20-period EMA.
Function: Identifies zones where institutional buyers/sellers are defending the trend's equilibrium. This is not a simple touch; it requires a validated "Touch-and-Hold" sequence.
B. Structural Flip Scanner (BTB) —
Logic: Detects the transition from old supply to new demand (S/R Flip).
Function: Uses a 3-phase Break-Test-Break verification to confirm that a structural breakout is backed by volume, reducing the risk of "Fake-outs."
C. Liquidity Compression Monitor (Micro Map) —
Logic: Statistical range-contraction analysis (Volatility Squeeze).
Function: Signals a High-Density State where price is coiling for an expansion move.
2. The Golden State: Triple Confluence Logic
The GOLD label represents the "Apex" of this engine. It is triggered only when the SP2L, BTB, and Micro Map layers synchronize on a single candle. In structural terms, this means:
Trend Defense (SP2L) is active.
Structural Breakout (BTB) is confirmed.
Volatility Expansion (MM) is imminent.
This Triple-Layer filtering ensures that Golden Signals only appear during periods of maximum market conviction.
3. Professional Implementation (Structural View)
MTF Trend Matrix: A built-in dashboard provides a 1H, 4H, and 1D diagnosis to ensure local setups align with the Macro Trend.
Smart Invalidation (Adaptive Trendlines): The engine draws dynamic geometry to define the current "Structural Floor/Ceiling." A decisive close beyond these lines acts as a clear Invalidation Point for the current thesis.
Mean Reversion: The system uses the 200-EMA as the primary directional filter, defining whether the market is in a "Bullish Expansion" or "Bearish Correction" state.
⚠️ Risk Disclaimer
Trading financial instruments involves significant risk. Quant-Action Pro is an educational tool designed for research and structural analysis. It does not provide financial advice. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always use strict risk management.
Max Pain Options [QuantLabs] v5 (Balanced)Institutional Grade Options Analysis: Max Pain, Gamma & Pin Risk
For years, TradingView users have been flying blind without access to Options Chain data. QuantLabs: Max Pain & Gamma Exposure changes that. This is not just a support/resistance indicator—it is a sophisticated, algorithmic model that reverse-engineers the incentives of Market Makers using synthetic Black-Scholes logic.
This tool visualizes the "invisible hand" of the market: the hedging requirements of large dealers who are forced to buy or sell to keep their books neutral.
CORE FEATURES:
🔴 Max Pain Gravity Model The bright red line represents the "Max Pain" strike—the price level where the maximum amount of Options Open Interest (Calls + Puts) expires worthless.
Theory: As OpEx (Expiration) approaches, Market Makers maximize profits by pinning the price to this level.
Strategy: Use this as a mean-reversion target. If price is far away, look for a snap-back to the red line.
🟣 Gamma Exposure Profiles (The Purple Lines) These neon histograms show you the estimated "Gamma Walls."
Long Gamma: Dealers trade against the trend (stabilizing price).
Short Gamma: Dealers trade with the trend (accelerating volatility).
Visual: The larger the purple bar, the harder it will be for price to break through that level.
📦 Algorithmic "Pin Risk" Zones The dashed red box highlights the "Kill Zone." When price enters this area near expiration, volatility often dies as dealers pin the asset to kill retail premiums.
Warning: Do not expect breakouts while inside the Pin Zone.
📊 Institutional HUD A clean, non-intrusive dashboard provides real-time Greeks and risk analysis:
Pin Risk: High/Medium/Low probability of a pinned close.
Exp Mode: Detects if the market is in "Short Gamma" (Squeeze territory) or "Long Gamma" (Chop territory).
HOW IT WORKS (The Math): Since live options data is not available via Pine Script, this engine uses a proprietary Synthetic OI Distribution Model. It inputs Volume, Volatility (IV), and Time-to-Expiry into a modified Black-Scholes equation to probability-map where the heavy open interest likely sits.
SETTINGS & CUSTOMIZATION:
Responsiveness: Tuned for the "Goldilocks Zone" (Spread: 12, Decay: 22) to catch local liquidity walls without over-fitting.
Visuals: Designed for Dark Mode. High-contrast Neon aesthetics for maximum readability.
Market State Intelligence [Interakktive]Market State Intelligence (MSI) is a diagnostic market-context indicator that reveals how the market is behaving — not where price "should" go.
MSI does not generate buy/sell signals. Instead, it classifies market conditions into clear behavioural regimes by continuously measuring:
- DRIVE (directional effort)
- OPPOSITION (absorption / resistance)
- STABILITY (structural persistence)
MSI is designed to answer three practical questions:
- What state is the market in right now?
- Is energy building, releasing, or decaying?
- Is participation aligned with price, or opposing it?
█ WHAT MSI DOES
MSI operates as a real-time regime classification engine that processes each closed bar through three independent measurement systems:
DRIVE — Directional Effort (0–100)
- Displacement efficiency (net progress vs total path)
- Range expansion quality (actual range vs expected ATR range)
- Body dominance (body vs candle range)
OPPOSITION — Absorption / Resistance (0–100)
- Wick pressure (rejection relative to attempt)
- Effort–result gap (high effort, low progress)
- Reversal density (counter-moves frequency)
STABILITY — Persistence (0–100)
- Condition persistence (how long conditions hold)
- Variance score (flip frequency)
- Follow-through consistency (reaction continuity)
These three forces feed a deterministic classifier with hysteresis (anti-flicker) to identify five regimes:
COMPRESSION — low drive, low opposition, higher stability (pressure building, direction unclear)
EXPANSION — high drive, low opposition (directional energy release)
TREND — medium-high drive, higher stability, low-medium opposition (healthy continuation)
DISTRIBUTION — medium drive, high opposition (effort absorbed; progress blocked)
TRANSITION — rapidly rising opposition, low stability (regime breakdown / uncertainty)
█ WHAT MSI DOES NOT DO
- No buy/sell signals, entries/exits, or performance claims
- No prediction of future direction
- No repainting: calculations use closed-bar data only
MSI is a market state layer intended to support your execution framework.
█ VISUAL SYSTEM
MSI uses a layered visual grammar designed to remain readable on live charts:
Regime Ribbon
A thin horizontal band showing the current regime via colour. Ribbon opacity reflects regime confidence (stronger confidence = more visible).
Pressure Envelope (core visual)
A soft corridor around price that expands with Drive and becomes more visible as Opposition increases. This visualises "pressure thickness" around current action (not a volatility band for entries).
Structural Memory
Faint background stains appear where regimes previously failed (e.g., expansion collapsing into absorption). These are behavioural context zones showing where market intention was rejected — not support/resistance.
Regime Change Markers (optional)
Subtle labels appear when regimes transition after confirmation. Useful for replay and education.
Effort Halo (optional)
Candle highlighting when Opposition materially exceeds Drive, indicating absorption/inefficiency.
█ HUD PANEL
The HUD displays:
- Current regime name + colour indicator
- A context gate showing whether conditions are aligned with long-bias or short-bias context (not an entry/exit system)
█ REGIME LEGEND
When enabled, displays:
- A one-line definition of the current regime
- Live Drive / Opposition / Stability values for interpretation
█ TIME-TO-DECISION METER
A visual pressure gauge that tends to fill during Compression (energy building) and drain during Expansion (energy releasing). It is a state-tracking meter, not a timing tool.
█ SETTINGS
MSI — Settings
- Preset Mode: Scalper / Swing / Position
- Analysis Mode (Minimal): ON = subtle visuals, OFF = full intensity
- Regime Ribbon, Structural Memory, HUD Panel, Time-to-Decision Meter, Effort Halo
MSI — Visual Options
- Show Regime Changes: Labels when regime transitions occur
- Show Regime Legend: Definition and live values display
- Panel Position: Move the entire panel anywhere on chart
MSI — Advanced (Tuning)
- Sensitivity (0.5–2.0)
- Smoothing (0.5–2.0)
- Memory Decay (0.5–2.0)
- Visual Intensity (Low / Medium / High)
█ PRESETS EXPLAINED
Scalper
Higher sensitivity + lower smoothing + faster memory decay. Best for 1m–15m monitoring.
Swing (default)
Balanced behaviour. Best for 15m–4H analysis.
Position
Lower sensitivity + higher smoothing + slower memory decay. Best for 4H–1D macro context.
█ STRUCTURAL MEMORY
When a regime fails (example: Expansion → Distribution), MSI creates a memory imprint:
- Fixed stain window (preset dependent)
- Strength decays over time
- Limited to a maximum number of imprints to reduce chart clutter
These zones represent behavioural rejection, not levels.
█ SUITABLE MARKETS
MSI is designed for Forex, Crypto, Indices, Stocks, and Commodities.
Works from intraday to Daily, with particularly strong readability on 15m–4H.

Volatility Shield ProConcept: Volatility Shield Pro is a multi-dimensional execution engine designed to filter high-probability entries by triangulating Trend, Institutional Volume, and Statistical Exhaustion.
Why this is original: Unlike standard indicators that look at price in a vacuum, this uses a Volume-Weighted ATR (VWATR) to distinguish between retail noise and institutional "Strikes." It integrates an ADR (Average Daily Range) Fuel gauge to prevent entries into exhausted moves, solving the common problem of buying the "top" of a trend.
Components & Logic:
Institutional Strike Engine: Uses VWATR normalized against a 50-period SMA to find momentum backed by volume.
ADR Fuel Gauge: Calculated by comparing current price travel to the 10-day ADR. A "State" of EXHAUSTED is triggered at 120% to warn of mean reversion.
HTF Anchor: A built-in Higher Time Frame EMA filter (default 4H) to ensure local trades align with the macro tide.
Live EDGE Tracker: A real-time backtesting module that calculates the win rate of the "Strike" signals on the current chart history using a 1.5:1 Reward-to-Risk ratio.
This combined tool addresses the three main reasons most trading systems fail by integrating higher-timeframe bias, daily range exhaustion, and volume confirmation into one framework:
Fighting the Tide (HTF Ribbon): Keeps traders aligned with the dominant higher-timeframe trend to avoid counter-trend entries.
Running Out of Gas (ADR Fuel): Measures a symbol’s average daily range to prevent chasing moves that have already reached their statistical limit.
Ghost Volume (RVOL/VWATR): Filters out low-quality, retail-driven activity by requiring institutional-level volume spikes before taking trades.
In essence, it combines trend alignment, range exhaustion detection, and real-volume filtering to eliminate the most common account-killing mistakes.
The "Triple-Threat" Trade Setup
This is the highest-probability setup the tool can produce. When these three things align, the "Edge" is at its peak:
The Anchor: HTF Ribbon is Bright Green.
The Local: Atlas Trend Bias is BULLISH and State is STRIKE.
The Value: ADR Fuel is Low (40-60%), meaning the stock has massive room to move before hitting daily resistance.
Volatility Squeeze Pro [JOAT]
Volatility Squeeze Pro — Advanced Volatility Compression Analysis System
This indicator addresses a specific analytical challenge in volatility analysis: how to identify periods when different volatility measurements show compression relationships that may indicate potential energy buildup in the market. It combines two distinct volatility calculation methods—standard deviation-based bands and ATR-based channels—with a momentum oscillator to provide comprehensive volatility state analysis.
Why This Combination Provides Unique Analytical Value
Traditional volatility indicators typically focus on single measurements, but markets exhibit different types of volatility that require different analytical approaches:
1. **Closing Price Volatility** (Standard Deviation): Measures how much closing prices deviate from their average
2. **Trading Range Volatility** (ATR): Measures the actual high-to-low trading ranges
3. **Directional Momentum**: Measures where price sits within its recent range
The problem with using these individually:
- Standard deviation alone doesn't account for intraday volatility
- ATR alone doesn't consider closing price clustering
- Momentum alone doesn't provide volatility context
- No single measurement captures the complete volatility picture
This indicator's originality lies in creating a comprehensive volatility analysis system that:
**Identifies Volatility Compression**: When closing price volatility contracts inside trading range volatility, it suggests potential energy buildup
**Provides Momentum Context**: Shows directional bias during compression periods
**Offers Multi-Dimensional Analysis**: Combines three different analytical approaches into one coherent system
**Delivers Real-Time Assessment**: Continuously monitors the relationship between different volatility types
Technical Innovation and Originality
While individual components (Bollinger Bands, Keltner Channels, Linear Regression) are standard, the innovation lies in:
1. **Volatility Relationship Detection**: The mathematical comparison between standard deviation bands and ATR channels creates a unique compression identification system
2. **Integrated Momentum Analysis**: Linear regression-based momentum calculation provides directional context specifically during volatility compression periods
3. **Multi-State Visualization**: The indicator provides clear visual encoding of different volatility states (compressed vs. normal) with momentum direction
4. **Adaptive Threshold System**: The squeeze detection automatically adapts to different instruments and timeframes without manual calibration
How the Components Work Together Analytically
The three components create a comprehensive volatility analysis framework:
**Standard Deviation Component**: Measures closing price dispersion around the mean
float bbBasis = ta.sma(close, bbLength)
float bbDev = bbMult * ta.stdev(close, bbLength)
float bbUpper = bbBasis + bbDev
float bbLower = bbBasis - bbDev
**ATR Channel Component**: Measures actual trading range volatility
float kcBasis = ta.ema(close, kcLength)
float kcRange = ta.atr(atrLength)
float kcUpper = kcBasis + kcRange * kcMult
float kcLower = kcBasis - kcRange * kcMult
**Squeeze Detection Logic**: Identifies when closing price volatility compresses within trading range volatility
bool squeezeOn = bbLower > kcLower and bbUpper < kcUpper
// This condition indicates closing prices are clustering more tightly
// than the typical trading range would suggest
**Momentum Context Component**: Provides directional bias during compression
float highestHigh = ta.highest(high, momLength)
float lowestLow = ta.lowest(low, momLength)
float momentum = ta.linreg(close - math.avg(highestHigh, lowestLow), momLength, 0)
float momSmooth = ta.sma(momentum, smoothLength)
The analytical relationship creates a system where:
- Squeeze detection identifies WHEN volatility compression occurs
- Momentum analysis shows WHERE price is positioned during compression
- Combined analysis provides both timing and directional context
How the Volatility Comparison Works
The indicator compares two volatility measurements:
Standard Deviation Bands
These measure how much closing prices deviate from their average. When prices cluster tightly around the average, the bands contract.
// Standard deviation bands calculation
float bbBasis = ta.sma(close, bbLength)
float bbDev = bbMult * ta.stdev(close, bbLength)
float bbUpper = bbBasis + bbDev
float bbLower = bbBasis - bbDev
ATR-Based Channels
These measure volatility using Average True Range—the typical distance between high and low prices. They respond to the actual trading range rather than closing price dispersion.
// ATR-based channels calculation
float kcBasis = ta.ema(close, kcLength)
float kcRange = ta.atr(atrLength)
float kcUpper = kcBasis + kcRange * kcMult
float kcLower = kcBasis - kcRange * kcMult
The Squeeze Condition
A "squeeze" is detected when the standard deviation bands are completely contained within the ATR channels:
// Squeeze detection
bool squeezeOn = bbLower > kcLower and bbUpper < kcUpper
This condition indicates that closing price volatility has compressed relative to the overall trading range.
The Momentum Component
The momentum oscillator measures where price sits relative to its recent high-low range, using linear regression for smoothing:
// Momentum calculation
float highestHigh = ta.highest(high, momLength)
float lowestLow = ta.lowest(low, momLength)
float momentum = ta.linreg(close - math.avg(highestHigh, lowestLow), momLength, 0)
float momSmooth = ta.sma(momentum, smoothLength)
Positive values indicate price is above the midpoint of its recent range; negative values indicate below.
Why Display Both Together
The squeeze detection shows WHEN volatility is compressed. The momentum reading shows the current directional bias of price within that compression. Together, they provide two pieces of information:
1. Is volatility currently compressed? (squeeze status)
2. Where is price leaning within the current range? (momentum)
These are observations about current conditions, not predictions about future movement.

Important Limitations and Realistic Expectations
Volatility compression detection is a mathematical relationship between calculations—it does not predict future price movements
Many compression periods do not result in significant price expansion or directional moves
Momentum direction during compression does not reliably indicate future breakout direction
This indicator analyzes current and historical volatility conditions only—it cannot predict future volatility
False signals are common—not every squeeze leads to tradeable price movement
Different parameter settings will produce different compression detection sensitivity
Market conditions, news events, and fundamental factors often override technical volatility patterns
No volatility indicator can predict the timing, direction, or magnitude of future price movements
This tool should be used as one component of comprehensive market analysis
Appropriate Use Cases
This indicator is designed for:
- Volatility state analysis and monitoring
- Educational study of volatility relationships
- Multi-dimensional volatility assessment
- Supplementary analysis alongside other technical tools
- Understanding market compression/expansion cycles
This indicator is NOT designed for:
- Standalone trading signal generation
- Guaranteed breakout prediction
- Automated trading system triggers
- Market timing precision
- Replacement of fundamental analysis
Understanding Volatility Analysis Limitations
Volatility analysis, while useful for understanding market conditions, has inherent limitations:
- Past volatility patterns do not guarantee future patterns
- Compression periods can extend much longer than expected
- Expansion periods may be brief and insufficient for trading
- External factors (news, fundamentals) often override technical patterns
- Different markets and timeframes exhibit different volatility characteristics

Spike Detector (Ticks/Points)Spike Detector (Ticks / Points)
What This Indicator Does
Spike Detector (Ticks / Points) helps you easily spot large, high-volatility candles on your chart. These “spike” candles often happen during strong momentum, breakouts, stop runs, or sudden reversals.
Instead of guessing whether a candle is “big enough,” this indicator automatically measures each candle’s size and highlights it when it exceeds a threshold you choose.
How It Works (Simple Explanation)
The indicator measures the high-to-low range of every candle
It converts that range into ticks using the instrument’s minimum tick size
If the candle size is equal to or greater than your selected threshold, it is marked as a spike
Spike candles are:
Colored green for bullish candles
Colored red for bearish candles
A label is placed on the chart showing the candle size in ticks or points
This logic is non-repainting and works on all timeframes.
Inputs Explained
Spike Size Threshold
The minimum candle size required to be considered a spike (measured in ticks)
Display Unit (Ticks / Points)
Choose whether the label shows the candle size in:
Ticks (recommended for futures)
Points (useful for stocks and indices)
Label Offset
Adjusts how far above or below the candle the label appears
How to Use This Indicator
This indicator is meant to be used as a visual tool, not a standalone trading system.
Common ways traders use it:
Identify momentum ignition candles
Spot stop runs or liquidity grabs
Confirm breakouts with strong candle expansion
Avoid entering trades during abnormally volatile bars
Study volatility behavior during specific sessions
Many traders combine this with:
Market structure
Support & resistance
Trend direction
Volume or session context
Tips for Best Results
Start with a moderate threshold and adjust based on the market you trade
Higher timeframes usually need larger thresholds
Futures traders may prefer tick mode, while stock traders may prefer points
Use spike candles as context, not signals by themselves
Notes
Works on all symbols that support tick size data
Does not repaint
Designed to be lightweight and easy to read

Market Acceptance Envelope [Interakktive]The Market Acceptance Envelope (MAE) is a diagnostic tool that shows where price statistically belongs — not where it might go. Unlike traditional bands that expand with volatility, MAE expands with acceptance: regions where price rotates comfortably, efficiency drops, and the market agrees on fair value.
This is the anti-Bollinger thesis: bands should represent where price IS accepted, not where it MIGHT reach based on standard deviation.
█ USAGE
The filled corridor represents the current acceptance zone — where price has demonstrated rotational behavior with low directional efficiency. When price is inside the corridor, it's "home." When outside, it's exploring territory the market hasn't yet accepted.
For discretionary traders, MAE provides instant context: "Is price where it belongs, or is it extended?"
For systematic traders, the exported values (confidence, asymmetry, position) can inform position sizing and filter logic.
█ ACCEPTANCE CENTROID
Unlike traditional bands centered on a moving average, MAE uses an Acceptance Centroid — a time-weighted price level where acceptance behavior concentrates. The centroid is calculated by weighting price by:
• Inverse efficiency (low efficiency = high acceptance)
• Volatility stability (stable vol = higher weight)
• Dwell factor (time spent near level)
This means the centroid drifts toward where price actually rotates, not simply where it averages.
█ ASYMMETRIC BOUNDARIES
MAE calculates upper and lower boundaries independently. Markets rarely treat up and down equally — during uptrends, the upper boundary may be wider (more accepted upside exploration), while the lower boundary stays tight (quick rejection of dips).
This asymmetry is visible on the chart and exported as a metric (-1 to +1).
█ CONFIDENCE-BASED VISIBILITY
The corridor's opacity reflects acceptance confidence:
• High confidence → clearly visible corridor (price is in accepted rotation)
• Low confidence → faded corridor (trending/directional market, acceptance not established)
When the corridor fades, it's telling you: "Acceptance hasn't been earned here yet."
█ WHAT THIS INDICATOR IS
• A diagnostic acceptance envelope showing where price statistically belongs
• Asymmetric by design — upper and lower calculated independently
• Confidence-weighted visibility — fades when acceptance is not earned
• Non-repainting — uses closed-bar data only
█ WHAT THIS INDICATOR IS NOT
• NOT Bollinger Bands (no standard deviation around a mean)
• NOT Keltner Channels (no ATR-scaled envelope)
• NOT a signal generator — no touches = signals philosophy
• NO arrows, NO entries/exits, NO buy/sell recommendations
█ HOW IT WORKS
MAE uses an acceptance-weighted calculation approach:
1. ACCEPTANCE WEIGHT
Each bar receives a weight based on:
• Efficiency: (1 - efficiency) — low efficiency = rotational = high acceptance
• Volatility Stability: stable vol environment = higher weight
• Dwell Factor: price staying near central tendency = higher weight
2. ACCEPTANCE CENTROID
Weighted average of price using acceptance weights:
centroid = Σ(price × weight) / Σ(weight)
Smoothed adaptively — faster during drift, slower when stable.
3. ASYMMETRIC BOUNDARIES
Upper and lower distances calculated separately:
• rngUp = acceptance-weighted average of (price - centroid) when price > centroid
• rngDn = acceptance-weighted average of (centroid - price) when price < centroid
4. CONFIDENCE SCORE
Composite of average acceptance weight, volatility stability, and centroid stability.
Maps to corridor opacity: high confidence = visible, low confidence = faded.
█ SETTINGS
Market Acceptance Envelope — Core
• Acceptance Lookback (20): Bars to evaluate for acceptance conditions. Higher = smoother, slower response.

Big Trades / Intrabar Volume Clusters by HKDescription:
This indicator brings professional Order Flow and Footprint capabilities to your chart. It detects and visualizes high-volume trade clusters inside the candle, allowing you to see exactly at which price level big market participants were active.
Unlike standard volume bars, this tool uses Intrabar Data to map significant buying and selling pressure precisely within the candle body.
ℹ️ IMPORTANT: Resolution Setting (Read First) To ensure this indicator works immediately for all users (including Free/Basic accounts), the default resolution is set to "1 Minute".
Basic/Free Users: Please keep the setting at "1" (Second-based intervals often require a paid plan).
Premium Users: For the best precision and the exact look shown in the screenshots, we highly recommend changing the Resolution setting to "5S" (5 Seconds)!
🚀 Key Features
Intrabar Precision: Leverages request.security_lower_tf to look inside the candle structure.
Noise Filtering: Only displays clusters that exceed your defined Minimum Volume threshold, filtering out retail noise.
Smart Coloring:
Green: Buying pressure (Close >= Open on the lower timeframe).
Red: Selling pressure (Close < Open on the lower timeframe).
🆕 Independent Sizing: A unique feature: You can control the Font Size and Circle Size independently.
This allows for small, non-intrusive circles with large, readable text.
⚙️ Settings
Resolution: Default is 1 (Minute). Premium users should switch to 5S for true order flow precision.
Minimum Volume: The most important filter. Determines how large a trade cluster must be to appear (e.g., 150+ for ETH, higher for BTC).
Visuals: Customize Buy/Sell colors, Circle Size, and Text Size separately.
⚠️ Visual Tip (If text is hidden)
If the bubbles or numbers appear behind the candles or disappear when clicking away:
Right-click on any of the indicator bubbles.
Select Visual Order -> Bring to Front.
This ensures the Big Trades data always floats on top of your price bars.
BAVC (Clone) Rolling Curves, Peak MarkersBAVC (Clone) — Rolling Curves + Peak Markers
BAVC (Clone) is a volume-based momentum and participation indicator designed to visualize aggressive buying vs aggressive selling pressure using rolling volume curves and structural peak detection.
This script is a functional clone of a Bid/Ask Volume Curve concept, implemented using approximated volume splitting (uptick/downtick or close vs open) so it works on standard TradingView data without requiring true bid/ask feeds.
What the Indicator Shows
1. Rolling Buy & Sell Volume Curves
Volume is split into Buy (aggressive buyers) and Sell (aggressive sellers) using a selectable approximation method.
Each side is accumulated over a configurable lookback window.
Optional EMA smoothing is applied to reduce noise and highlight participation trends.
Interpretation:
Rising Buy Curve → increasing buyer dominance
Rising Sell Curve → increasing seller dominance
Expanding separation → stronger directional conviction
Convergence / flattening → balance, absorption, or transition
2. Adaptive Color Intensity (Optional)
Curve opacity can remain fixed or
Automatically adapt based on relative dominance strength
Stronger imbalances visually stand out without adding extra indicators
3. Structural Peak & Trough Detection
The script identifies significant local extremes in both curves:
Buy-side peaks & troughs
Sell-side peaks & troughs
Each peak is filtered using:
Swing width (bars left/right)
Relative strength vs recent maximum
Minimum depth for troughs
Markers can be displayed as:
Circles directly on the curves, or
Minimal labels (▲ / ▼)
Interpretation:
Buy-side highs → possible exhaustion or distribution
Buy-side lows → loss of initiative / absorption
Sell-side highs → aggressive selling climax
Sell-side lows → selling pressure weakening
4. Alerts
Optional alerts fire when:
A significant Buy-side peak forms
A significant Buy-side trough forms
A significant Sell-side peak forms
A significant Sell-side trough forms
These are intended as contextual signals, not standalone trade triggers.
5. Status Line Helper
An optional real-time status label displays:
Lookback settings
Current rolling Buy and Sell volume sums
This is useful for quick confirmation without opening the settings panel.
Important Notes
This indicator uses volume behavior, not price.
It is best used as a confirmation tool alongside:
Structure
Time-based context
VWAP / trend filters
It does not generate buy or sell signals by itself.
Best Use Cases
Spotting institutional participation
Confirming trend strength or exhaustion
Identifying absorption before reversals
Filtering low-quality entries during choppy periods
Liquidity Guard v4.0 This script is designed for Market Makers (MM), Grid Traders, and Mean Reversion strategists. Its primary purpose is not to tell you when to enter a trade, but when to stop trading and withdraw liquidity to avoid "catching falling knives" or "selling too early" during extreme unilateral movements.
Unlike traditional indicators that require constant parameter tuning for different assets (e.g., BTC vs. PEPE), this script features a Normalized Z-Score Algorithm, making it adaptive to any asset class, price scale, or time frame without manual adjustment.
这是一个专为 做市商 (Market Makers)、网格交易者 (Grid Traders) 和 马丁策略 (Martingale) 设计的风控系统。它的核心目的不是告诉你“何时买入”，而是告诉你 “何时停止交易” 并撤回挂单，以防止在极端的单边行情中“接飞刀”或“卖飞”。
本指标最大的亮点是采用了 归一化 Z-Score (标准化分数) 算法。这意味着您不需要针对 BTC、ETH 或小币种分别调整参数，一套参数即可自适应所有币种和时间周期。
VIX Percentile OscillatorWhat is this script?
This is a trading tool that helps you decide when to buy or sell options based on market volatility. Think of it as a "fear meter" for the stock market.
What is VIX?
VIX = Volatility Index (also called the "fear index")
When VIX is HIGH → Market is scared/volatile → Options are EXPENSIVE
When VIX is LOW → Market is calm → Options are CHEAP
What does "Percentile" mean?
Instead of just showing VIX price, this script shows where VIX is compared to history.
Example: If VIX Percentile = 85%
This means VIX is higher than 85% of all past readings
Only 15% of the time was VIX higher than now
Translation: Volatility is unusually HIGH
The 5 Trading Zones
The script divides the market into 5 zones:
🔴 EXTREME SELLING ZONE (90-100%)
VIX is in the top 10% historically
Action: AGGRESSIVELY SELL OPTIONS (collect big premiums)
Market panic = expensive options = profit for sellers
🟠 SELLING ZONE (80-89%)
VIX is elevated but not extreme
Action: SELL OPTIONS (good premiums available)
⚪ NEUTRAL ZONE (20-79%)
VIX is normal
Action: WAIT or use other strategies
🟢 BUYING ZONE (10-19%)
VIX is low
Action: BUY OPTIONS (they're cheap)
🟢 EXTREME BUYING ZONE (0-9%)
VIX is in the bottom 10% historically
Action: AGGRESSIVELY BUY OPTIONS (bargain prices)
Market complacency = cheap options = opportunity
Understanding the Chart
Main Line (Blue/Red/Green):
Shows current VIX percentile
Color changes based on zone
Thick line = easy to see
Histogram (Background bars):
Red bars = above 50% (high volatility)
Green bars = below 50% (low volatility)
Purple Momentum Line:
Shows if VIX is rising or falling
Helps you catch trends early
Background Colors:
Light red/orange = Selling zones
Light green = Buying zones
Triangle Markers:
Appear when entering new zones
"EXTREME" label = strongest signals
The Statistics Table (Top Right)
VIX Price: Current VIX value (e.g., 16.50)
Percentile: Where VIX ranks (0-100%)
Z-Score: Statistical measure
Above +2 or below -2 = extreme
Red text = unusually high/low
Momentum: Rate of change
Red = rising (volatility increasing)
Green = falling (volatility decreasing)
Avg VIX: Average VIX over lookback period
Current Zone: Which zone you're in right now
Bars in Zone: How long you've been in this zone
Simple Trading Rules
FOR OPTION SELLERS (Premium Collectors):
✅ SELL when: Percentile > 80% (especially > 90%)
High premiums available
Examples: Sell covered calls, cash-secured puts, credit spreads
FOR OPTION BUYERS (Hedgers/Speculators):
✅ BUY when: Percentile < 20% (especially < 10%)
Cheap options available
Examples: Buy protective puts, long calls, debit spreads
Key Settings You Can Adjust
Lookback Period (default: 252)
How far back to compare (252 = 1 year of trading days)
Longer = smoother, more stable
Shorter = more sensitive to recent changes
Smoothing Period (default: 3)
Reduces noise/wiggling
Higher = smoother line
Lower = more responsive
Zone Thresholds:
Extreme Sell: 90%
Sell: 80%
Buy: 20%
Extreme Buy: 10%
You can customize these!
Real-World Example
Scenario: VIX Percentile jumps to 92%
What this means:
VIX is higher than 92% of all past readings
Market is in panic mode
Option premiums are INFLATED
Trading Action:
✅ Sell covered calls on stocks you own
✅ Sell cash-secured puts on stocks you want to buy
✅ Sell credit spreads
❌ DON'T buy expensive options right now
Why it works: When fear is extreme, it usually calms down eventually. You profit as premiums deflate.
Important Reminders
⚠️ This is a TIMING tool, not a crystal ball
It tells you WHEN premiums are expensive/cheap
It doesn't tell you WHICH options to trade
You still need proper risk management
⚠️ Works on ALL timeframes
Daily charts = swing trading
Weekly charts = position trading
Intraday charts = day trading volatility
⚠️ Best for:
Option sellers during high VIX (>80%)
Option buyers during low VIX (<20%)
Portfolio hedging decisions
Volatility trading strategies
Bottom Line: This script helps you buy options when they're cheap and sell options when they're expensive. It's like shopping for sales, but for volatility!

BB Squeeze - HighQToolsBBW Squeeze — HighQTools
As always, if anyone has any tips or additional features they'd like to see, feel free to reach out!
Overview
The BBW Percentile Squeeze highlights periods of exceptionally compressed volatility by measuring Bollinger Band Width (BBW) and ranking it within a rolling historical percentile. When BBW falls into the lowest portion of its own distribution, price is statistically “tight” relative to recent history—a condition that often precedes volatility expansion.
Instead of plotting an oscillator in a separate pane, this tool expresses information directly on the price chart by changing bar colors during squeeze conditions, keeping charts clean and execution-focused.
How It Works
Standard Bollinger Bands are calculated using a configurable length and standard deviation.
Band width is normalized and evaluated against a rolling lookback window.
The current width is converted into a percentile rank (0–100):
Lower percentile = tighter volatility
Higher percentile = expanded volatility
When the percentile drops below the user-defined threshold, the market is considered to be in a squeeze.
An optional RTH-only mode allows the percentile calculation to consider Regular Trading Hours bars only, which is especially useful for futures traders who want to ignore overnight volatility distortions.
Visual Signals
Squeeze Bars
Bars are recolored when BBW percentile falls below the selected threshold, indicating extreme compression.
Release Bar (optional)
The first bar exiting the squeeze can be highlighted separately, marking the resolution of compression.
No oscillator, no bands, no shapes—only context applied directly to price.
How to Use It
The squeeze itself is not a trade signal.
Squeeze conditions indicate stored energy—expect range expansion, not direction.
Focus on:
Market structure
Higher-timeframe context
Volume, delta, or acceptance/rejection
The release from squeeze often provides the best opportunity, especially when aligned with directional bias or structural breaks.
For best results, use this tool as a context filter alongside execution setups rather than as a standalone entry signal.
Recommended Settings
BB Length: 10
Std Dev: 2.0
Percentile Lookback: 200–300 bars
Squeeze Threshold: 5-10 percentile
RTH-only: Enabled for index futures

Dual-Timeframe ABR DashboardDual-Timeframe ABR Dashboard 是一款专为日内交易者设计的波动率参考工具，用于同时评估当前周期与日线级别的平均K线波幅（ABR）。
该指标基于 Average Bar Range（高低差的简单平均），帮助交易者快速判断：
单根K线的“正常”波动范围
当前价格相对于 ABR 的百分比位置
当日是否已接近日线级别的常规波动极限
指标不会在图表上绘制干扰性线条，而是通过状态栏与固定表格实时展示最新 ABR 数值，适合用于：
目标利润（TP）与止盈管理
趋势是否具备延续空间的判断
避免在“已走完波幅”的位置追价入场
这是一个为实盘决策服务，而非视觉美观的专业级日内交易辅助指标。
======================================================================
Dual-Timeframe ABR Dashboard is a volatility reference tool designed specifically for day traders, providing a clear view of Average Bar Range (ABR) on both the current timeframe and the daily timeframe.
By measuring the simple average of each bar’s high–low range, this indicator helps traders quickly assess:
What constitutes a “normal” bar movement on the active timeframe
Current price movement expressed as a percentage of ABR
Whether the session has already consumed most of its typical daily range
Instead of plotting lines on the chart, the indicator presents real-time ABR values via the status line and a fixed dashboard table, keeping the chart clean and execution-focused.
This tool is particularly useful for:
Profit target and trade management
Evaluating remaining trend potential during the session
Avoiding late entries after the daily range is largely exhausted
Built for practical intraday decision-making, not visual clutter.
Volume Weighted ATRThis script implements a Volume‑Weighted Average True Range (VWATR) indicator, a variation of ATR that incorporates trading volume into the volatility calculation. Instead of treating all price movements equally, it amplifies true range during high‑volume periods and dampens it during low‑volume periods, producing a volatility measure that adapts to liquidity conditions. The script begins by allowing the user to choose a lookback length and a smoothing method, offering RMA, SMA, EMA, or WMA for flexibility in how responsive the indicator should be.
The core of the calculation starts with the standard true range, which captures the most meaningful price movement of each bar. This true range is then multiplied by volume, creating a volume‑weighted true range that gives more importance to bars where market participation is higher. To ensure consistency, the script defines a custom moving‑average function that applies the selected smoothing method to any input series. This function is used twice: once to smooth the volume‑weighted true range and once to smooth volume itself.
The final VWATR value is obtained by dividing the smoothed volume‑weighted true range by the smoothed volume. Mathematically, this produces a volume‑weighted mean of true range, making the indicator more sensitive to volatility expansions that occur with strong participation and less reactive to low‑volume noise. The script concludes by plotting this VWATR line, giving traders a clean, adaptive measure of volatility that can be used for regime detection, breakout confirmation, or dynamic stop sizing

Kalman Hull Kijun [BackQuant]Kalman Hull Kijun
A trend baseline that merges three ideas into one clean overlay, Kalman filtering for noise control, Hull-style responsiveness, and a Kijun-like Donchian midline for structure and bias.
Context and lineage
This indicator sits in the same family as two related scripts:
Kalman Price Filter
This is the foundational building block. It introduces the Kalman filter concept, a state-estimation algorithm designed to infer an underlying “true” signal from noisy measurements, originally used in aerospace guidance and later adopted across robotics, economics, and markets.
Kalman Hull Supertrend
This is the original script made, which people loved. So it inspired me to create this one.
Kalman Hull Kijun uses the same core philosophy as the Supertrend variant, but instead of building a Supertrend band system, it produces a single structural baseline that behaves like a Kijun-style reference line.
What this indicator is trying to solve
Most trend baselines sit on a bad trade-off curve:
If you smooth hard, the line reacts late and misses turns.
If you react fast, the line whipsaws and tracks noise.
Kalman Hull Kijun is designed to land closer to the middle:
Cleaner than typical fast moving averages in chop.
More responsive than slow averages in directional phases.
More “structure aware” than pure averages because the baseline is range-derived (Kijun-like) after filtering.
Core idea in plain language
The plotted line is a Kijun-like baseline, but it is not built from raw candles directly.
High level flow:
Start with a chosen price stream (source input).
Reduce measurement noise using Kalman-style state estimation.
Add Hull-style responsiveness so the filtered stream stays usable for trend work.
Build a Kijun-like baseline by taking a Donchian midpoint of that filtered stream over the base period.
So the output is a single baseline that is intended to be:
Less jittery than a simple fast MA.
Less laggy than a slow MA.
More “range anchored” than standard smoothing lines.
How to read it
1) Trend and bias (the primary use)
Price above the baseline, bullish bias.
Price below the baseline, bearish bias.
Clean flips across the baseline are regime changes, especially when followed by a hold or retest.
2) Retests and dynamic structure
Treat the baseline like dynamic S/R rather than a signal generator:
In uptrends, pullbacks that respect the baseline can act as continuation context.
In downtrends, reclaim failures around the baseline can act as continuation context.
Repeated back-and-forth around the line usually means compression or chop, not clean trend.
3) Extension vs compression (using the fill)
The fill is meant to communicate “distance” and “pressure” visually:
Large separation between price and baseline suggests expansion.
Price compressing into the baseline suggests rebalancing and decision points.
Inputs and what they change
Kijun Base Period
Controls the structural memory of the baseline.
Higher values track broader swings and reduce flips.
Lower values track tighter swings and react faster.
Kalman Price Source
Defines what data the filter is estimating.
Close is usually the cleanest default.
HL2 often “feels” smoother as an average price.
High/Low sources can become more reactive and less stable depending on the market.
Measurement Noise
Think of this as the main smoothness knob:
Higher values generally produce a calmer filtered stream.
Lower values generally produce a faster, more reactive stream.
Process Noise
Think of this as adaptability:
Higher values adapt faster to changing conditions but can get twitchy.
Lower values adapt slower but stay stable.
Plotting and UI (what you see on chart)
1) Adaptive line coloring
Baseline turns bullish color when price is above it.
Baseline turns bearish color when price is below it.
This makes the state readable without extra panels.
2) Gradient “energy” fill
Bull fill appears between price and baseline when above.
Bear fill appears between price and baseline when below.
The goal is clarity on separation and control, not decoration.
3) Rim effect
A subtle band around price that only appears on the active side.
Helps highlight directional control without hiding candles.
4) Candle painting (optional)
Candles can be colored to match the current bias.
Useful for scanning many charts quickly.
Disable if you prefer raw candles.
Alerts
Long state alert when price is above the baseline.
Short state alert when price is below the baseline.
Best used as a bias or regime notification, not a standalone entry trigger.
Where it fits in a workflow
This is a context layer, it pairs well with:
Market structure tools, BOS/MSB, OBs, FVGs.
Momentum triggers that need a regime filter.
Mean reversion tools that need “do not fade trends” context.
Limitations
No baseline eliminates chop whipsaws, tuning only manages the trade-off.
Settings should not be copy pasted across assets without checking behavior.
This does not forecast, it estimates and smooths state, then expresses it as a structural baseline.
Disclaimer
Educational and informational only, not financial advice.
Not a complete trading system.
If you use it in any trading workflow, do proper backtesting, forward testing, and risk management before any live execution.
Buying Opportunity Score V2.2Buying Opportunity Indicator V2.2
What This Indicator Does
This indicator identifies potential buying opportunities during market fear and pullbacks by combining multiple technical signals into a single composite score (0-100). Higher scores indicate more fear/oversold conditions are present simultaneously.
Why These Components?
Market bottoms typically occur when multiple fear signals align. This indicator combines five complementary measurements that each capture different aspects of market stress:
1. VIX Level (30 points) - Measures implied volatility/fear. VIX spikes during selloffs as traders buy protection. Thresholds based on historical percentiles (VIX 25+ is ~85th percentile historically).
2. Price Drawdown (30 points) - Distance from 52-week high. Larger drawdowns create better risk/reward for mean reversion entries. A 10%+ drawdown from highs historically presents better entry points than buying at all-time highs.
3. RSI 14 (12 points) - Classic momentum oscillator measuring oversold conditions. RSI below 30 indicates short-term selling exhaustion.
4. Bollinger Band Position (13 points) - Statistical measure of price extension. Price below the lower band (2 standard deviations) indicates statistically unusual weakness.
5. VIX Timing (15 points) - Bonus points when VIX is declining from a recent peak. This helps avoid catching falling knives by waiting for fear to subside.
How The Score Works
- Each component contributes points based on severity
- Components are weighted by predictive value from historical analysis
- Score of 70+ means multiple fear signals are present
- Score of 80+ means extreme fear across most components
How To Use
1. Apply to SPY, QQQ, or IWM on daily timeframe
2. Monitor the Current Score in the statistics table
3. Scores below 50 = normal conditions, no action needed
4. Scores 60-69 = elevated fear, monitor closely
5. Scores 70+ = consider entering long positions
6. Scores 80+ = strongest historical entry points
Important Limitations
- This is a research tool, not financial advice
- Past patterns may not repeat in the future
- Signals are infrequent (typically 2-4 per year reaching 70+)
- Works best on broad market ETFs; not validated for individual stocks
- Always use proper position sizing and risk management
- The indicator identifies conditions that have historically been favorable, but cannot predict future returns

ATR-Normalized VWMA DeviationThis indicator measures how far price deviates from the Volume-Weighted Moving Average ( VWMA ), normalized by market volatility ( ATR ). It identifies significant price reversal points by combining price structure and volatility-adjusted deviation behavior.
The core idea is to use VWMA as a dynamic trend anchor, then measure how far price travels away from it relative to recent volatility . This helps highlight when price has stretched too far and may be due for a reversal or pullback.
How it works:
VWMA deviation is calculated as the difference between price and the VWMA.
That deviation is divided by ATR (Average True Range) to normalize for current volatility.
The script tracks the highest and lowest normalized deviations over the chosen lookback period.
It also tracks price structure (highest/lowest highs/lows) over the same period.
A reversal signal is generated when a historical extreme in deviation aligns with a price structure extreme, and a confirmed reversal candle forms.
You get visual signals and color highlights where these conditions occur.
Settings explained:
Lookback period defines how many bars the script uses to find recent extremes.
ATR length controls how volatility is measured.
VWMA length controls how the volume-weighted moving average is calculated.
Signal filters help refine entries based on price vs deviation behavior.
Display options let you customize how signals and levels appear on the chart.
This indicator is especially useful for spotting potential turning points where price has moved far from VWMA relative to volatility, suggesting possible exhaustion or overextension.
Tips for use:
Combine with broader trend context (higher timeframe support/resistance).
Use with risk management rules (position sizing, stops) — signals are guides, not guaranteed entries.
Adjust lookback and ATR settings based on your trading timeframe and asset volatility.
Futures Ultra CVD (Pure )Futures Ultra CVD (Pure)
Futures Ultra CVD (Pure) is a volume-driven Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) indicator designed to expose real buying and selling pressure behind price movement. Unlike price-only indicators, this script analyzes how volume is distributed within each bar to determine whether aggressive buyers or sellers are in control, then tracks how that pressure evolves over time.
This version is intentionally pure and ungated: it does not rely on external symbols, market filters, session bias, or macro confirmation. All signals are derived strictly from price, volume, and delta behavior of the active chart, making it suitable for futures, equities, crypto, and FX.
Core Concept: How CVD Is Calculated
For each bar, volume is split into buying pressure and selling pressure using the bar’s price position:
Buying volume increases as price closes closer to the high
Selling volume increases as price closes closer to the low
The difference between buying and selling volume forms Delta:
Positive delta = net aggressive buying
Negative delta = net aggressive selling
This delta is then accumulated into Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) using one of three user-selectable modes:
Total – running cumulative sum of all delta values
Periodic – rolling sum over a fixed lookback period
EMA – smoothed cumulative delta using an exponential average
This flexibility allows traders to choose between raw order-flow tracking or smoother, trend-like behavior depending on timeframe and instrument.
Visual Structure & Histogram Logic
The CVD is displayed as a column histogram, not a line, to emphasize momentum and pressure shifts.
Enhanced coloring provides additional context:
Brighter green/red bars indicate increasing momentum
Muted colors indicate stalling or weakening pressure
Optional footprint-style highlights appear when buy or sell volume overwhelms the opposite side by a user-defined imbalance factor
This allows traders to visually distinguish:
Strength vs weakness
Continuation vs exhaustion
Absorption and aggressive participation
Built-In Order Flow Signals
The script automatically detects and labels key order-flow events:
Strong Delta
Triggered when delta exceeds a user-defined threshold, highlighting unusually aggressive buying or selling.
Delta Surge
Detects sudden expansion in delta compared to the prior bar, often associated with breakout attempts or liquidation events.
Zero-Line Crosses
Marks transitions between net bullish and bearish participation as CVD crosses above or below zero.
CVD Continuation Logic (Trend Confirmation)
Beyond raw delta, the script evaluates CVD structure to identify continuation conditions:
A bullish continuation requires:
Positive and rising CVD
Strong buy delta
Confirmation from at least one of the following:
CVD above its EMA and SMA
Bullish price expansion
Sustained positive delta pressure
Bearish continuation follows the inverse logic.
These continuation signals are designed to confirm participation strength, not predict reversals.
Conflict Detection (Divergence Warning)
The indicator also flags conflict conditions, where:
Strong buying occurs while CVD remains negative
Strong selling occurs while CVD remains positive
These scenarios often precede failed breakouts, absorption zones, or short-term reversals and can be used as cautionary signals.
Alerts & Practical Use
All major events include built-in alerts:
Strong delta
Delta surge
CVD continuations
Zero-line crosses
Buy/sell imbalances
Conflict signals
Alerts can be set to trigger on bar close or intrabar in real time, depending on trader preference.
How Traders Typically Use This Indicator
Confirm breakouts with delta participation
Validate trends using CVD continuation instead of price alone
Identify absorption or exhaustion via conflicts and imbalances
Combine with price structure, VWAP, or market profile tools
This script is not a trading system by itself. It is a decision-support tool designed to reveal what price alone cannot: who is actually in control of the market.
On-Chart Symbols & What They Mean
This script uses a small number of visual symbols to communicate order-flow events clearly and consistently. All symbols are derived directly from the Cumulative Volume Delta calculations described above.
Δ+ (Green Up Arrow)
Strong Buy Delta
Indicates that buying pressure on the current bar exceeded the Strong Delta Threshold
Represents aggressive market buying dominating selling volume
Often appears during breakouts, trend acceleration, or initiative buying
This symbol does not imply direction by itself; it only confirms strong buyer participation.
Δ− (Red Down Arrow)
Strong Sell Delta
Indicates that selling pressure on the current bar exceeded the Strong Delta Threshold
Represents aggressive market selling dominating buying volume
Often appears during breakdowns, liquidation events, or initiative selling
Like Δ+, this symbol measures participation strength, not trade direction.
↑ (Green Label Up)
CVD Bullish Continuation
Appears when all of the following are present:
CVD is positive and increasing
Strong buy delta is detected
At least one confirmation condition is met:
CVD is above its EMA and SMA
Price shows bullish expansion
Consecutive positive delta bars (sustained buying pressure)
This symbol highlights trend continuation supported by volume, not a reversal signal.
↓ (Red Label Down)
CVD Bearish Continuation
Appears when:
CVD is negative and decreasing
Strong sell delta is detected
At least one confirmation condition is met:
CVD is below its EMA and SMA
Price shows bearish expansion
Consecutive negative delta bars (sustained selling pressure)
This indicates bearish continuation with participation confirmation.
Cyan / Orange Histogram Bars
Footprint-Style Volume Imbalance
Cyan bars indicate buy volume exceeds sell volume by the imbalance factor
Orange bars indicate sell volume exceeds buy volume by the imbalance factor
These bars highlight areas where one side is overwhelming the other, often associated with absorption, initiative moves, or failed auctions.
Bright vs Muted Histogram Colors
CVD Momentum State
Bright colors = CVD increasing in the direction of its current bias
Muted colors = CVD losing momentum or stalling
This allows quick visual identification of strengthening vs weakening participation.
Conflict Alerts (No Symbol by Default)
Delta vs CVD Disagreement
These conditions trigger alerts (but no fixed chart icon):
Strong buying while CVD remains negative
Strong selling while CVD remains positive
Conflicts often signal absorption, trap conditions, or short-term exhaustion.
Important Usage Notes
All symbols are informational, not trade entries.
Signals are calculated from price-based volume distribution, not true bid/ask data.
Results depend on the quality of volume data provided by the exchange and TradingView.
