SPY Options Targets -IV Expected MoveWhat this indicator is?
This tool turns option implied volatility into two things:
1) Expected move levels on the SPY chart for a chosen time horizon
2) Estimated option premium targets if SPY reaches those levels
It is built to answer three trading questions:
1) How far can SPY reasonably move in my holding window
2) What SPY levels should I use for profit targets or invalidation
3) If SPY hits those levels, what option price is a realistic target
What the bands mean on the SPY chart
The bands are expected move levels on the underlying, recalculated each bar from the selected option’s implied volatility.
One sigma band
The teal band is the expected one standard deviation move over the next Horizon minutes. In practice, this is a normal move zone for that holding window.
Two sigma band
The orange band is the expected two standard deviation move over the next Horizon minutes. In practice, this is a large move zone for that holding window.
How to interpret value
If price is near the middle of the bands, the market is behaving normally for that window.
If price approaches the one sigma band, the move is extended for that window.
If price approaches the two sigma band, the move is unusually large for that window and you should expect either strong continuation or sharp mean reversion depending on market context.
What the table means and how to use it
IV
Implied volatility solved from the selected option price. Higher IV widens the bands and increases option targets.
DTE
Days to expiry of the selected option. Near expiry options can change faster and IV can shift quickly.
H move 1 sigma
The projected one sigma SPY move in dollars for the selected Horizon minutes. This is the key number for planning.
Opt at plus 1 sigma and minus 1 sigma
If SPY reaches the one sigma upper band or the one sigma lower band, the indicator estimates what your selected option should be worth at that moment, assuming implied volatility does not change.
Opt at plus 2 sigma and minus 2 sigma
Same idea for the two sigma bands.
Now opt px
Current option price for reference.
.................................................................................................................
How to trade using it?
Step 1 Pick the right option input
Choose the same expiry you plan to trade and pick a liquid contract, ideally at the money or near the money. This makes the IV reading more representative of the current tape.
Step 2 Set the horizon to your holding time
If you typically hold 15 to 30 minutes, set Horizon minutes to 15 or 30.
If you typically hold 60 to 120 minutes, set it accordingly.
This matters because the bands represent expected move for that exact window.
Step 3 Use the bands to define trade planning
For a long bias
Entry is your setup. The bands are used for targets and risk.
Target 1 is the one sigma upper band.
Target 2 is the two sigma upper band if momentum supports continuation.
Invalidation can be defined as losing the mid zone and failing to reclaim, or a clear level based stop. The indicator does not choose your stop. It gives your realistic upside distance.
For a short bias
Target 1 is the one sigma lower band.
Target 2 is the two sigma lower band if momentum supports continuation.
Invalidation can be defined similarly using your structure.
Step 4 Use the option targets as profit taking levels
Once you enter an option trade, ignore random premium swings and anchor to the table.
Common approach
Take partial profit when the option approaches the plus or minus one sigma target value.
Hold a smaller runner for the plus or minus two sigma target value.
If SPY hits the one sigma band but the option is far below the table target, it usually means implied volatility is dropping. Reduce expectations or exit earlier.
If SPY hits the one sigma band and the option is above the table target, it usually means implied volatility expanded. Consider taking profits sooner because this extra premium can mean revert.
Step 5 Use it to choose strikes
Before entering, check whether your desired option profit requires SPY to travel to the two sigma band within your horizon.
If yes, that is a lower probability trade for that window.
If your plan is achievable around the one sigma band, it is typically more realistic.
..................................................................................................................
Practical examples
Scalp example
Horizon 30 minutes.
If H move 1 sigma is about 1 dollar, then expecting a 3 dollar SPY move in 30 minutes is a two to three sigma expectation and should be treated as a low probability scalp unless a news event is active.
Intraday example
Horizon 120 minutes.
If H move 1 sigma is about 2 dollars, a 2 dollar move is a reasonable target and a 4 dollar move is the stretch target.
Important limitations
Implied volatility changes
The option target prices assume IV stays constant. In real markets IV can change during the move, especially on 0DTE, around news, or during sharp selloffs. Treat option targets as a baseline estimate.
Not a standalone signal
This indicator does not generate buy or sell signals. Combine it with your entry model, structure, or momentum confirmation.
Liquidity matters
Very wide bid ask spreads can distort the inferred IV. Use liquid contracts.
Suggested defaults for SPY
Use a liquid near the money option for the current expiry.
Horizon 30 for scalps, 60 for intraday, 120 for swings.
Keep expiry time at 16:00 New York.

Mobius Trend Pivot (NPR21 v6)Mobius Trend Pivot (NPR21 v6)
Overview
This indicator identifies trend pivots using higher highs with higher lows (bullish trends) and lower lows with lower highs (bearish trends). Originally created by Mobius (V01.01.29.2019) for ThinkOrSwim, this Pine Script conversion maintains the original logic while fixing critical rendering issues found in previous TradingView versions.
How It Works
The indicator tracks price trends over a user-defined lookback period (default n=5) to establish pivot points. When a valid trend pivot forms, the indicator plots:
Red zone (bearish): Upper pivot line with confirmation level below
Green zone (bullish): Lower pivot line with confirmation level above
White dashed lines: Risk-off levels for position management
Confirmation levels are calculated as a multiple (R_Mult, default 0.7) of the Average True Range at the pivot.
Trading Rules (from Mobius original code)
Entry: Trade when price crosses and closes outside the pivot confirmation line
Risk Management: Use the pivot line itself as your risk point - exit if crossed (avoid hard stops)
Risk-Off: Target an ATR multiple for initial profit taking to achieve a risk-free trade
Stop Management: Move mental stop to break-even once risk-off is achieved
Runner Management: Adjust mental stop to new support/resistance levels as they form
What Makes This Version Different
NPR21 v6 fixes critical bugs present in other TradingView versions:
✅ Consistent transparency - The red/green cloud fills maintain constant 85% transparency and no longer progressively darken over time
✅ No overlapping renders - Eliminated the issue where multiple indicator instances would layer on top of each other, creating visual clutter
✅ Proper memory management - Implements linefill deletion/recreation logic to prevent object accumulation
✅ Clean visual display - Matches the original ThinkOrSwim appearance with professional-looking zones
Key Features
Automatic pivot detection based on price structure
Dynamic support/resistance zones
Built-in risk management levels
Alert capability for pivot confirmation crossovers
Minimal lag - responds quickly to trend changes
Works on all timeframes and instruments
Settings
n (default 5): How many bars to look back for trend confirmation
R_Mult (default 0.7): Adjusts how far the confirmation lines sit from pivots
Lower n = more sensitive, more signals
Higher n = less sensitive, fewer signals
Color Scheme
Red lines/zones: Bearish pivots and short trade setups
Green lines/zones: Bullish pivots and long trade setups
White dashed lines: Risk-off target levels
Best Practices
Use 2+ contracts to implement the risk-off strategy
Combine with price action and volume for confirmation
Adjust n and R_Mult based on instrument volatility
Works best on liquid futures and forex pairs
Consider using higher timeframes for swing trades

TRIZONACCI_Mean reversal_signalsMarket State Engine
Deterministic Confidence-Scoring System for TradingView
A professional-grade PineScript v5 indicator that scores market conditions from 0-100, helping traders identify high-quality trading opportunities through systematic structure analysis, VWAP positioning, order flow dynamics, and time-based context.
🎯 Overview
The Market State Engine is not a trading bot—it's a noise-reduction and opportunity-ranking system designed to filter market conditions and surface only the highest-quality setups.
Instead of blindly taking every signal, this indicator:
✅ Scores market conditions objectively (0-100 scale)
✅ Filters out low-probability setups automatically
✅ Classifies opportunities into A, A+, and A++ grades
✅ Alerts only on confirmed structure shifts with supporting context
✅ Keeps the human in control - provides intelligence, not automation
Philosophy: Reduce Noise. Enforce Discipline. Surface Quality.
🚀 Key Features
Deterministic Scoring - No black boxes, fully explainable logic
Multi-Factor Analysis - Combines 4 independent market state components
Structure-First Approach - Only alerts on confirmed pivot breaks
VWAP Mean Reversion Logic - Directional filtering based on VWAP zones
Order Flow Proxy - CVD divergence and confirmation detection
Session-Aware Scoring - Prioritizes high-volume New York sessions
Alert De-Duplication - One alert per unique structure shift
Zero Repainting - Uses confirmed pivots only (left=2, right=2)
Fully Configurable - All parameters exposed as inputs
Visual Feedback - VWAP bands, setup labels, and real-time score panel
📊 Scoring System (0-100)
The Market State Engine evaluates four independent components, each contributing up to 25 points for a maximum total score of 100.
🎯 Component Breakdown
Component Max Points Description
VWAP Context 25 Measures price deviation from session VWAP
Structure Shift 25 Confirms pivot breakout (HARD GATE)
CVD Alignment 25 Detects order flow divergence/confirmation
Time-of-Day 25 Identifies high-probability trading sessions
1️⃣ VWAP Context (Max 25 Points)
Purpose: Identifies extreme price deviations from fair value for mean-reversion opportunities.
VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) is calculated session-anchored to New York market time, with standard deviation bands creating zones of opportunity.
Band Structure:
1st Band: ±1σ from VWAP (fair value zone)
2nd Band: ±2σ from VWAP (moderate deviation)
3rd Band: ±3σ from VWAP (extreme deviation)
Scoring Logic (Exclusive):
Price in 3rd VWAP Band (>2σ and ≤3σ) → +25 points
Price in 2nd VWAP Band (>1σ and ≤2σ) → +15 points
Otherwise (inside 1σ or beyond 3σ) → 0 points
Key Insight: The further price stretches from VWAP, the higher the probability of mean reversion.
2️⃣ Structure Shift (Max 25 Points) — HARD GATE
Purpose: Confirms momentum shift through confirmed pivot breakouts.
⚠️ CRITICAL: Structure shift is mandatory. If no valid structure shift occurs, the total score becomes 0 regardless of other factors.
Detection Method:
Uses TradingView's ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions with locked parameters:
Left bars: 2
Right bars: 2
Source: Configurable (Wick or Body)
Break confirmation: Candle close only
Bullish Structure Shift:
✅ Prior swing high exists (confirmed pivot)
✅ Current candle closes above swing high + tick buffer
✅ Must occur in VWAP 2nd or 3rd band
✅ VWAP Filter: Price must be at or below VWAP (lower bands)
Bearish Structure Shift:
✅ Prior swing low exists (confirmed pivot)
✅ Current candle closes below swing low - tick buffer
✅ Must occur in VWAP 2nd or 3rd band
✅ VWAP Filter: Price must be at or above VWAP (upper bands)
Scoring:
Valid structure shift → +25 points
No structure shift → Total score = 0
Tick Buffer: Default 5 ticks (configurable) - prevents false breaks from minor price noise.
3️⃣ CVD Alignment (Max 25 Points)
Purpose: Detects institutional order flow through volume delta analysis.
CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta) is a proxy for order flow:
Close > Open → +Volume (buying pressure)
Close < Open → -Volume (selling pressure)
Scoring Logic:
Condition Points Description
Divergence +25 Price makes higher high + CVD makes lower high (bearish)
Price makes lower low + CVD makes higher low (bullish)
Confirmation +20 Price and CVD both make higher highs or lower lows
Neutral 0 No clear divergence or confirmation
Lookback Window: Last 20 bars (configurable) - prevents stale divergences.
Key Insight: Divergences suggest weakening momentum, while confirmations validate the trend.
4️⃣ Time-of-Day Context (Max 25 Points)
Purpose: Prioritizes high-volume, high-volatility New York sessions.
Scored Sessions (America/New_York timezone):
Session Time Range (NY) Points Description
Pre-Market 03:00 - 04:00 +25 Early liquidity injection
Market Open 09:30 - 11:30 +25 Highest volume period
Off-Hours All other times 0 Lower probability setups
Key Insight: Structure shifts during active sessions have higher follow-through probability.
🏆 Setup Classification
Setups are graded based on total score thresholds (configurable):
Grade Score Range Typical Components Quality Level
A++ Setup ≥90 All 4 factors aligned
(VWAP 3rd band + Structure + CVD + Session) Premium - Rare
A+ Setup ≥75 Structure + VWAP + CVD or Session
(3 of 4 factors) High - Select
A Setup ≥60 Structure + VWAP + Session
(Minimum viable setup) Good - Regular
No Grade <60 Insufficient confluence Filtered out
Default Thresholds:
A Setup: 60 points
A+ Setup: 75 points
A++ Setup: 90 points

✅ At VWAP exactly
❌ BLOCKED in upper bands (above VWAP)
Logic: Longs when price is stretched below fair value (mean reversion)
Short Signals (Red)
Only allowed when price is AT or ABOVE VWAP
✅ Upper 2nd band (+1σ to +2σ)
✅ Upper 3rd band (+2σ to +3σ)
✅ At VWAP exactly
❌ BLOCKED in lower bands (below VWAP)
Logic: Shorts when price is stretched above fair value (mean reversion)

💡 Best Practices
1. Use as a Filter, Not a Strategy
❌ Don't: Blindly take every signal
✅ Do: Use score as confluence for your existing analysis
2. Higher Grades = Better Probability
A Setups (60-74): Regular opportunities, still require discretion
A+ Setups (75-89): High-quality, multiple factors aligned
A++ Setups (90-100): Rare premium opportunities, strongest edge
3. Respect the VWAP Zone Filter
The indicator automatically blocks:
Longs in upper VWAP bands (counter-trend)
Shorts in lower VWAP bands (counter-trend)
Trust this logic - it enforces mean reversion discipline.
4. Monitor the Score Panel
Watch which components are scoring to understand why a setup formed:
Missing CVD score? → No order flow confirmation
Missing Time score? → Outside high-volume sessions
Low VWAP score? → Weak deviation from fair value
5. Combine with Risk Management
The indicator provides opportunity scoring, not position sizing:
Use stop losses based on swing structure
Scale position size with setup grade (larger on A++, smaller on A)
Set profit targets at VWAP or opposing band
6. Session Awareness
Prioritize signals during active sessions:
03:00-04:00 NY: Pre-market momentum
09:30-11:30 NY: Highest volume, tightest spreads
Off-hours signals (0 time score) are lower probability but still valid if other factors strong.
7. Understand the Hard Gate
If no structure shift occurs:
Total score = 0
No alerts fire
Other components irrelevant
Why? Structure shift confirms momentum change - without it, there's no tradable opportunity.
8. Avoid Over-Optimization
Default settings are well-calibrated:
Don't chase "perfect" parameters
Test changes on historical data before live use
Document any modifications
9. Leverage Alert De-Duplication
The indicator prevents spam automatically:
One alert per unique swing break
New swing levels = new alerts
No need to manually filter notifications
10. Supplement with Price Action
Use the indicator alongside:
Support/resistance levels
Order flow footprint charts
Volume profile
Market internals (breadth, TICK, etc.)
📚 Example Scenarios
Example 1: A++ Premium Setup (Score: 95)
Price: In lower 3rd VWAP band (-2.8σ) → VWAP: 25 pts
Structure: Close breaks swing high → Structure: 25 pts
CVD: Price LL + CVD HL (bullish div) → CVD: 25 pts
Time: 10:15 AM NY (market open) → Time: 25 pts
Direction: LONG (price below VWAP) → Valid
Grade: A++ (95/100)
Interpretation: All factors aligned - premium mean-reversion long opportunity.
Example 2: A+ Strong Setup (Score: 80)
Price: In upper 2nd VWAP band (+1.5σ) → VWAP: 15 pts
Structure: Close breaks swing low → Structure: 25 pts
CVD: Price HH + CVD LH (bearish div) → CVD: 25 pts
Time: 2:00 PM NY (off-hours) → Time: 0 pts
Direction: SHORT (price above VWAP) → Valid
Grade: A+ (65/100)
Interpretation: Strong setup despite off-hours, bearish divergence adds confidence.
Example 3: Filtered Setup (Score: 0)
Price: In upper 3rd VWAP band (+2.5σ) → VWAP: 25 pts (if allowed)
Structure: Close breaks swing high → Structure: BLOCKED
CVD: Price HH + CVD HH (confirmation) → CVD: 20 pts (if allowed)
Time: 10:00 AM NY → Time: 25 pts (if allowed)
Direction: LONG (price ABOVE VWAP) → ❌ INVALID ZONE
Grade: None (0/100) - NO ALERT
Interpretation: VWAP filter blocked long signal in upper band - prevents counter-trend trade.
🛠️ Troubleshooting
No Signals Appearing
✅ Verify you're on 1-minute chart
✅ Check Tick Size matches your symbol
✅ Ensure VWAP Bands are visible
✅ Wait for confirmed pivots (requires at least 5 bars of history)
Alerts Not Firing
✅ Confirm alert is set to "Once Per Bar Close"
✅ Check score threshold (must be ≥60 by default)
✅ Verify VWAP zone filter isn't blocking signals
✅ Check that structure shift is actually occurring
Score Always Zero
✅ No structure shift detected (hard gate active)
✅ Price may not be in valid VWAP zone (2nd or 3rd band)
✅ Insufficient swing history (wait for pivots to form)
Too Many/Too Few Signals
Too many signals:
Increase A Setup Threshold (e.g., 70 instead of 60)
Increase Tick Buffer Count (reduces false breaks)
Too few signals:
Decrease A Setup Threshold (e.g., 50 instead of 60)
Decrease Tick Buffer Count (more sensitive to breaks)

ApEn Zones with Delta Confirmation MTF [PhenLabs]📊 ApEn Zones with Delta Confirmation MTF
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The ApEn Zones with Delta Confirmation MTF indicator combines Approximate Entropy analysis with cumulative volume delta to identify high-probability support and resistance zones. Approximate Entropy (ApEn) measures the complexity and unpredictability in price data—when ApEn drops significantly, it signals a transition from chaotic to ordered market behavior, often preceding reversals or continuations.
This indicator goes beyond simple ApEn detection by integrating Delta confirmation, which validates zones using volume-based order flow analysis. When a zone forms with Delta confirmation, it indicates institutional participation aligning with the price structure. The multi-timeframe capability allows traders to detect zones forming on higher timeframes while executing on their preferred chart.
🚀 Points of Innovation
First indicator to combine ApEn complexity analysis with cumulative Delta confirmation for zone validation
Pre-built calculation presets eliminate guesswork—optimized parameters for scalping, day trading, and swing trading
Smart zone management automatically removes invalidated zones after two price rejections
Multi-timeframe architecture detects zones on configurable timeframes independent of chart timeframe
Visual style presets provide instant customization from high contrast to subtle overlays
Delta threshold system distinguishes between regular zones and institutionally-confirmed zones
🔧 Core Components
ApEn Calculator: Measures pattern regularity using embedding dimension (m=2) and tolerance factor (r) against price standard deviation to quantify market complexity
Delta Engine: Computes cumulative delta from volume and price movement, comparing against statistical thresholds to identify significant order flow divergence
Zone Generator: Creates visual box zones at signal points with dynamic sizing based on bar range and confirmation status
MTF Request Handler: Fetches ApEn calculations from user-specified timeframe using security() calls for higher timeframe alignment
Zone Manager: Tracks zone interactions, counts rejections, and automatically purges zones that have been tested twice
🔥 Key Features
Calculation Presets: Choose from Aggressive, Conservative, Scalping 1m, Strong Scalping, Swing Trading, or Default—each preset optimizes all parameters for specific trading styles
Visual Style Presets: Select Default, High Contrast, Subtle, Classic, Neutral, or Neutral Reverse to match your chart theme and preference
Delta Confirmation: Zones display with enhanced opacity when cumulative delta confirms institutional participation in the direction of the zone
Automatic Zone Cleanup: Zones self-destruct after two rejections, keeping your chart clean and focused on active levels
Alert System: Four alert conditions for buy zones, sell zones, strong buy signals, and strong sell signals
Maximum Zone Control: Limits display to 5 zones per direction to prevent chart clutter
🎨 Visualization
Buy Zones: Displayed as horizontal boxes at low points when ApEn crosses under threshold—lighter transparency indicates regular zone, darker indicates Delta confirmation
Sell Zones: Displayed as horizontal boxes at high points when ApEn crosses over threshold—visual confirmation follows same transparency logic
Zone Boundaries: Each zone extends 10% of bar range above and below the signal level, providing clear entry and stop areas
Dynamic Extension: All zones automatically extend rightward with each new bar until invalidated
📖 Usage Guidelines
Calculation Preset Selection
Scalping 1m / Strong Scalping: Use for 1-5 minute charts with faster signal generation and tighter thresholds (Length: 15, Zone Length: 5)
Aggressive: Shorter lookback (Length: 10) generates more zones with lower confirmation requirements—higher frequency, more noise
Default: Balanced parameters suitable for 5-15 minute charts (Length: 15, Zone Threshold: 0.5, Delta Length: 4)
Conservative: Extended lookback (Length: 30) with stricter thresholds—fewer but higher probability zones
Swing Trading: Longest parameters (Length: 40, Zone Length: 20) for 1H-4H charts capturing major structural zones
Visual Style Selection
High Contrast: Bright green/red for maximum visibility on any background
Subtle: Muted green/red with transparency for minimal chart distraction
Classic: Traditional lime green and crimson color scheme
Neutral / Neutral Reverse: Grayscale tones for non-directional bias visualization
Timeframe Configuration
Default timeframe is set to 1 minute—adjust based on your execution timeframe
For scalping: Set zone timeframe 1-3x your chart timeframe
For swing trading: Set zone timeframe to 4H or Daily while viewing 1H charts
✅ Best Use Cases
Identifying reversal zones during high-volatility market conditions
Confirming support/resistance levels with volume-based order flow validation
Scalping entries on lower timeframes with higher timeframe zone confluence
Filtering trade setups by requiring Delta confirmation before entry
Setting stop losses beyond zone boundaries after rejection tests
Swing trade positioning at zones detected on 4H/Daily timeframes
⚠️ Limitations
ApEn calculations are computationally intensive—may experience slower loading on very long chart histories
Delta estimation uses (close - open) * volume approximation, not actual order flow data
Zones require sufficient price history—indicator needs max_bars_back of 2000 bars for proper calculation
Low volume instruments may produce unreliable Delta confirmation signals
Zone rejections are counted based on price interaction, not candle close confirmation
Maximum of 5 zones per direction limits visibility during highly active markets
💡 What Makes This Unique
Entropy-Based Detection: Uses mathematical complexity analysis rather than simple price patterns to identify zones
Dual Confirmation System: Combines ApEn signals with Delta divergence for higher probability setups
Adaptive Presets: Six calculation presets and six visual styles create 36 possible configurations without manual parameter adjustment
Self-Managing Zones: Automatic invalidation after two rejections mimics how professional traders track level degradation
🔬 How It Works
Step 1 - ApEn Calculation: The indicator computes Approximate Entropy by measuring how often similar patterns of length m repeat within tolerance r multiplied by standard deviation—lower values indicate more predictable (ordered) price behavior
Step 2 - Signal Generation: Buy signals trigger when higher timeframe ApEn crosses under the average ApEn divided by threshold; sell signals trigger when ApEn crosses over average multiplied by threshold
Step 3 - Delta Confirmation: Cumulative delta is compared against its moving average plus/minus standard deviation times threshold—extreme readings confirm institutional order flow alignment
Step 4 - Zone Creation: Visual boxes are drawn at signal bars with dimensions based on bar range; confirmed zones receive enhanced opacity while unconfirmed zones appear more transparent
Step 5 - Zone Lifecycle: Active zones extend with each bar and track price interactions; after two rejections (price touches zone but reverses), the zone is automatically deleted
💡 Note:
This indicator works best when combined with trend analysis and market structure. Use calculation presets as starting points and adjust the Zone Timeframe setting to align with your trading methodology. Delta confirmation significantly improves zone reliability but requires volume data—instruments with low or unreported volume should rely primarily on ApEn signals alone. Always validate signals with price action context before executing trades.

SWING ATR BasedWhat does this indicator do?
1. It identifies Market Swings The script monitors price action to detect when a trend changes direction.
It uses ATR (Average True Range) to measure volatility, ensuring it doesn't get tricked by small, insignificant price movements.
To validate a change in direction (from bullish to bearish, or vice versa), it waits for the price to cover a specific distance (defined by the kRange parameter) and requires at least two significant candles.
2. It plots Support and Resistance zones As soon as a new high or low point is confirmed:
In Green (Bull): It draws a support line at the level of the last low.
In Red (Bear): It draws a resistance line at the level of the last high.
Auto-Cleaning: If the price breaks through a support line, the line turns gray and stops. The script only keeps active (unbroken) levels on the screen.
3. It calculates an "SGE Score" (Market State) This is the "brain" of the script. It assigns a rating to the current trend:
+2 (Bullish): The price has broken a resistance.
-2 (Bearish): The price has broken a support.
0 (Neutral): The market is indecisive (for example, after a break that contradicts the previous one).
Key Feature: This score has a "one-candle delay." It waits for the next candle to close before confirming a score change, which helps avoid reacting too quickly to false alerts.
4. It simplifies visual reading To keep your chart clean and readable:
It only highlights the 3 levels closest to the current price (those most likely to be hit soon).
It colors the chart candles directly: Green if the score is +2, Red if the score is -2, and Gray if it is neutral.
5. Dashboard In the top-right corner of your screen, it displays a permanent summary:
The current score (-2, 0, or 2).
The number of active supports and resistances.
Summary: This is a "smart" trend detector. Instead of just looking at whether the price is going up or down, it waits for the price to break important structural levels (confirmed by volatility) to tell you: "Caution, the structure has just shifted from bullish to bearish."
Recommended Settings:
kRange: 1.3 / 1.4
ATR Mult: 0.3 to 0.5

AuditLens - Profit Quality Analyzer📊 AuditLens - Profit Quality Analyzer
Ever wonder if a company's profits are real or just accounting tricks?
This indicator helps you spot potential earnings manipulation by analyzing the gap between reported profits and actual cash generation.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔍 WHAT IT DOES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Calculates the "Divergence Ratio":
(Net Income - Operating Cash Flow) / Total Assets
• Positive divergence = Profits NOT backed by cash (risky)
• Negative divergence = Cash exceeds profits (healthy "cash cow")
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🚦 SIGNAL GUIDE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔴 RED FLAG (>10%): High risk - possible aggressive revenue recognition
🟠 ORANGE: Divergence trending up for 3+ quarters
🟡 YELLOW: Divergence trending up for 2+ quarters
🟢 GREEN (<-5%): "Cash Cow" - strong cash generation
✅ HEALTHY (0 to -5%): Normal profit quality
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📈 HOW TO USE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. Add to any stock chart
2. Check the summary table (top right)
3. Look for RED FLAGS before buying
4. Prefer stocks with negative divergence (cash cows)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️ FAMOUS EXAMPLES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Enron (2001): Showed profits but burned cash → Bankruptcy
• Wirecard (2020): €1.9B "cash" that didn't exist → Fraud
• Luckin Coffee (2020): Fake revenue, no cash backing → Delisted
This indicator would have flagged all of them.

📚 THE LOGIC
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Based on forensic accounting principles:
- Companies can manipulate earnings (accruals)
- But cash flow is harder to fake
- Big gap between the two = potential red flag
This is NOT financial advice. Always do your own research.

TSLA Cycle Timing - 122-Day Reversal Map (Adaptive Framework)This indicator is a timing map built specifically for Tesla (TSLA) on the Daily chart. It plots a repeating set of vertical, color-coded timing markers inside a 122-bar cycle (commonly treated as ~122 trading days on the Daily timeframe). These markers highlight reversal “zones”—areas where TSLA has historically shown a tendency to pivot from high-to-low and low-to-high within the cycle.
The script includes:
23 TSLA-derived set points (Points 1–23): the core timing map used to mark the most repeatable reversal areas.
Two optional “Inversion Points” (INV A / INV B): manual markers you can enable when TSLA’s high/low sequence appears to flip due to a structural deviation.
One additional optional marker (OPT C) for user customization.
This is not an auto-buy/sell system. It is a cycle-structure framework designed to help you anticipate when a reversal is more likely to occur, so you can combine it with your own confirmation tools (price action, trend context, support/resistance, volume, etc.).
Definitions (How this script interprets highs/lows)
In the context of cycle mapping:
A High Point is the highest price reached between two neighboring high pivots.
A Low Point is the lowest price reached between two neighboring low pivots.
The vertical lines are timing markers, not “guaranteed pivot candles.” Price may top/bottom slightly before or after a line. That’s why the script includes an optional ± window (in bars) to visualize a small tolerance zone around each marker.
How it works (Conceptually)
The script defines a repeating cycle length (default 122 bars).
Inside each cycle, each point has an offset measured in bars from the cycle start.
For every cycle instance (past, current, and optional future cycles), the script draws:
a vertical dotted line at each enabled point offset
optional ± window bands around the line
optional labels (numbers for set points and “INV” labels for inversion points)
Because this is a Tesla-specific map, the default offsets for Points 1–23 are preconfigured based on TSLA’s observed structure, and the remaining optional points are user-controlled.
How to Use (Important)
1) Use the Daily chart first
This model is designed around TSLA’s Daily cycle behavior. Start with:
Symbol: TSLA
Timeframe: 1D
If you use other timeframes, the cycle “tempo” can change and may require different offsets.
2) Identify the cycle start (anchor)
Cycle mapping depends on where the current cycle is anchored.
Use “Bars Back to Current Cycle Start” to shift the cycle start so that the script’s point sequence aligns with your most recent known cycle beginning. Once aligned, the points should repeat near each 122-bar interval.
3) Read the vertical markers as reversal zones
The colored vertical lines represent areas where reversals have historically occurred, not a promise that price must reverse exactly on the line.
A practical approach:
Use the marker as a “heads-up” zone
Wait for confirmation (trend break, candle structure, momentum shift, key level reaction, etc.)
4) Understand “set points” vs “Inversion Points”
Set Points (1–23)
These are the primary TSLA reversal zones that tend to recur within the 122-bar structure. Specific numbered points often appear near the same relative position inside each cycle.
Inversion Points (INV A / INV B)
Occasionally, TSLA’s cycle behavior can flip—meaning the expected high-to-low (or low-to-high) progression temporarily swaps order. This is what I refer to as an inversion.
When you see a cycle behaving “backwards” relative to the usual sequence:
Enable INV A and/or INV B
Place their offsets at the bar locations where the flip becomes obvious
Use these markers as manual annotations so your cycle notes stay consistent even when TSLA deviates from its typical rhythm
These inversion markers do not force the script to predict a flip—they allow you to document it cleanly.
5) Use the ± Window Bands to manage real-world variance
Markets don’t pivot on perfect timestamps. If a reversal tends to happen “around” a point:
Enable ± Window Bands
Set Window ± Bars (commonly 1–3 bars on 1D)
This gives a realistic visual tolerance zone around each timing marker.
Settings Guide (Practical)
Cycle Length (bars): 122 (TSLA Daily baseline)
Lookback Bars: increase to study more history, decrease for performance
Future Cycles: use sparingly; future markers are guidance zones, not guarantees
Past Cycles: Lines Only: recommended ON for stable performance
Labels at Top: helps keep the chart clean and readable
Final Notes / Limitations
This is a historical timing framework designed to map TSLA’s repeating reversal structure. It helps estimate when reversal pressure tends to appear, but it does not replace risk management or confirmation. Cycle behavior can stretch, compress, or invert during unusual volatility regimes—hence the inclusion of optional inversion markers.
XAUUSD: Ultimate Sniper🔥 Stop Gambling, Start Trading with Logic!
Gold (XAUUSD) is not just a chart; it is a global asset driven by the Dollar (DXY) and US Yields (US10Y). Standard indicators (RSI, MACD) often fail because they ignore these macro factors. XAUUSD Ultimate Sniper is designed to solve this problem by combining Macro Economics with Statistical Math.
This script is not just a signal generator; it is a complete trading system.
🚀 KEY FEATURES:
1. Macro Correlation Filter:
The script analyzes DXY (Dollar Index) and US10Y (10-Year Yields) in the background.
Logic: If the Dollar and Yields are rising, Gold is under pressure (Bearish). If they are falling, Gold has room to fly (Bullish).
Dashboard: A live panel on the top-right shows the trend of these assets instantly.
2. Linear Regression Channel (The Tunnel):
Instead of guessing support/resistance, we use a statistical Linear Regression Channel.
The channel shows the "Fair Value" of price. Deviations outside the channel indicate "Overbought" or "Oversold" zones mathematically.
3. Smart "Re-Entry" Logic (No Repainting):
Most indicators signal too early while the price is still crashing/rallying.
Our Solution: This script waits for the price to close back inside the channel. It captures the confirmed reversal, not the falling knife.
4. ATR Based Dynamic Risk Management:
Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) levels are automatically calculated using ATR (Average True Range).
Live Labels: When a signal appears, you will see exact price levels for your SL and TP on the chart.
🛠️ HOW TO USE:
Timeframe: Optimized for 15 Minutes (15m).
The Panel: Check the top-right table. If DXY and US10Y are GREEN, look for BUY signals. If RED, look for SELL signals.
The Signals: Wait for the "AL" (Buy) or "SAT" (Sell) labels.
Execution: Enter the trade and set your Stop Loss / Take Profit exactly where the label tells you.
Risk Warning: Past performance is not indicative of future results. This tool is for educational purposes. Always manage your risk.

Helps track the 4-hour trading session rhythm (9:30-11:30, 13:00-15:00)
Why Bar Count Matters:
Tracking bar numbers helps traders identify market rhythm, timing cycles, and potential reversal zones throughout the trading session.
Daily ATR + DeltaThis indicator shows last value of ATR with this parameters: Length 14, Smoothing RMA, Timeframe 1 day i Wait for timeframe closes.
Also, it shows Delta in percentage.
Delta is calculated in this way: -((the last one-minute closing price of the previous day's stock exchange)-(last price at the moment))/(value of ATR) * 100
Notice:
If you are in postmarket or premarket, delta will be also calculated from the "the last one-minute closing prices of the previous day's stock exchange" not from the "the last one-minute closing price of the todays stock exchange".
You dont need to have indicator Average True Range for this indicator to be working.
BTC Spot Premium Index (Coinbase - Binance )Overview
This indicator measures the price difference between Bitcoin (BTC) on Coinbase and Binance, providing insights into the buying pressure from US-based investors versus the global market. A positive premium suggests stronger buying activity on Coinbase, which is often interpreted as a bullish signal for BTC.
Key Features
•
Premium Calculation: The core of the indicator is the formula: Coinbase BTC Price - Binance BTC Price.
•
Visual Representation: The premium is plotted as an oscillator with a zero line. Positive values are colored green, and negative values are red, making it easy to identify the prevailing market sentiment.
•
Moving Average: A customizable moving average (default is a 20-period SMA) is included to help identify the trend of the premium. The MA line is displayed in white.
•
Adjustable Parameters: You can adjust the moving average length and type (SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA) to fit your trading style.
How to Use
1.
Identify US Market Sentiment: A sustained positive (green) premium suggests strong buying interest from the US market, which can be a precursor to price appreciation.
2.
Spot Trend Reversals: A crossover of the premium line above the zero line can signal a shift from bearish to bullish sentiment. Conversely, a cross below the zero line may indicate weakening US demand.
3.
Confirm with Moving Average: When the premium line crosses above its moving average, it can signal strengthening momentum. A cross below the MA may suggest a potential slowdown.
Interpretation
•
Green Area (Positive Premium): Indicates that BTC is trading at a higher price on Coinbase than on Binance. This is generally considered a bullish sign, as it reflects strong demand from US investors.
•
Red Area (Negative Premium): Indicates that BTC is trading at a lower price on Coinbase. This may suggest weaker demand in the US market or stronger selling pressure.
•
White Line (Moving Average): Helps to smooth out the premium data and identify the underlying trend. Use it as a dynamic support or resistance level for the premium itself.
This indicator is a powerful tool for gauging market sentiment and can be a valuable addition to any BTC trader's toolkit. However, it should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and not as a standalone signal for making trading decisions.
StO Price Action - Impulse CandleShort Summary
- Highlights impulse candles based on relative momentum
- Compares current or previous closed candles against prior price movement
- Uses a configurable momentum factor to filter significant impulses
- Designed to make strong directional candles visually stand out
Full Description
Overview
- Identifies impulse candles with strong momentum
- Focuses on candle-to-candle expansion rather than trend or structure
- Intended to visually emphasize moments of acceleration in price
- Works as a complementary tool to price action and volatility analysis
Impulse Candle Logic
- Impulse candles are detected by comparing the current candle range to previous candles
- A candle is considered an impulse when its range exceeds prior movement by a defined factor
- The comparison basis can be (current forming Candle, previous fully closed Candle)
Momentum Factor
- The momentum factor defines how much stronger a candle must be compared to earlier candles
- Higher values filter out smaller moves and highlight only extreme impulses
- Lower values allow more frequent impulse detection
- Helps adapt the indicator to different instruments and volatility regimes
Range Calculation
- Two range calculation modes are available:
- Open / Close (Body range):
- Measures body-based momentum
- Focuses on directional conviction
- High / Low (Candle range):
- Measures full volatility expansion
- Includes wicks and intrabar extremes
Visualization
- Impulse candles are highlighted using a customizable bar color
- Designed to remain minimal and unobtrusive
Alerts
- Optional alert can be enabled after detected impulse candles
- Useful for monitoring momentum shifts without constant screen time
Usage
- Suitable for breakout detection and momentum confirmation
- Helps identify volatility expansion phases
- Can be used for entry timing or trade management
Notes
- This indicator does not predict direction on its own
- Impulse candles may occur in both trending and ranging markets
- Best used in combination with structure, levels or higher-timeframe context
- Momentum thresholds should be adjusted per market and timeframe
