Better Contrast (NTSC Optimized)Library Better Contrast (NTSC Optimized)
This lightweight utility library automatically selects the optimal text color (black or white) for any given background color, ensuring maximum readability for labels, tables, and UI elements.
Unlike standard libraries that use the HSP model or simple averaging, this library utilizes the NTSC Perceived Brightness formula.
🟢 Why NTSC?
The human eye is significantly more sensitive to green light than red or blue. Standard formulas often miscalculate brightness for high‑energy colors like yellow (red + green) or cyan, resulting in white text on bright yellow backgrounds — which is hard to read.
The NTSC formula weights colors based on human perception:
Brightness = (Red * 0.299) + (Green * 0.587) + (Blue * 0.114)
By heavily weighting the green channel (58.7%), this method correctly identifies yellow and cyan as “bright” backgrounds, forcing the text to black for superior contrast.
🛠 Usage
Import the library:
import Robertsanktov/Better_Contrast/1 as contrast
Use the method directly on any color variable:
textColor = myBackgroundColor.contrast()
Parameters
- threshold : (optional) brightness cutoff (0.0–1.0 or 0–255). Default is 0.55 .
Higher values force more white text; lower values force more black text.

Adaptive Kinetic Ribbon [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Adaptive Kinetic Ribbon indicator synthesizes price velocity and volatility dynamics to identify trend direction, momentum strength, and acceleration phases across varying market conditions. It combines velocity-based momentum measurement, adaptive volatility weighting, dual-speed ribbon analysis, and acceleration-deceleration detection into a unified visual system that quantifies periods of sustained directional movement and momentum shifts, helping traders and investors identify trend continuation and reversal signals across various timeframes and asset classes.
🟢 How It Works
The indicator's core methodology lies in its adaptive kinetic approach, where velocity and volatility components are calculated dynamically and then smoothed through an adaptive alpha mechanism.
First, Velocity is measured to capture raw directional momentum by calculating the net price change over the lookback period:
velocity = source - source
This creates a momentum vector that quantifies how far and in which direction price has moved, providing the foundation for understanding trend strength and establishing whether the market is in a sustained directional phase.
Then, Volatility is computed to evaluate price variability and market noise by analyzing the standard deviation of bar-to-bar price changes:
volatility = ta.stdev(source - source , length) * mult
The volatility sensitivity multiplier allows traders to adjust how responsive the indicator is to market noise, with higher values creating faster adaptation during volatile periods and lower values maintaining stability during choppy conditions.
Next, Adaptive Alpha is calculated to create a dynamic smoothing coefficient that automatically adjusts based on the relationship between velocity and volatility:
adaptive_alpha = math.abs(velocity) / (math.abs(velocity) + volatility)
This alpha value ranges from 0 to 1, where values closer to 1 indicate strong, clear directional movement (high velocity relative to volatility), causing the indicator to respond quickly, while values closer to 0 indicate noisy, range-bound conditions (high volatility relative to velocity), causing the indicator to smooth more heavily and filter out false signals.
Following this, the Kinetic Line is constructed using exponential smoothing with the adaptive alpha coefficient:
var float kinetic_line = na
kinetic_line := na(kinetic_line ) ? source : kinetic_line + adaptive_alpha * (source - kinetic_line )
This creates an adaptive moving average that automatically adjusts its responsiveness: during strong trends with clear velocity, it tracks price closely like a fast EMA; during choppy, volatile periods, it smooths heavily like a slow SMA, providing optimal trend identification across varying market regimes without manual parameter adjustment.
Then, Ribbon Lines are generated by applying additional moving average smoothing to the kinetic line at two different speeds:
ribbon_fast = ma(kinetic_line, ribbon_fast_length, ma_type)
ribbon_slow = ma(kinetic_line, ribbon_slow_length, ma_type)
The dual-ribbon structure creates a visual envelope around the kinetic line, where the fast ribbon responds quickly to kinetic changes while the slow ribbon provides trend confirmation, with crossovers between these ribbons generating primary trend reversal signals.
Finally, Trend State and Acceleration are determined by analyzing the relative positioning and directional movement of the ribbon lines:
trend_up = ribbon_fast > ribbon_slow
acceleration = ribbon_fast > ribbon_fast
ribbonColor = trend_up ?
acceleration ? bullAccel : bullDecel :
not acceleration ? bearAccel : bearDecel
This creates a four-state classification system that distinguishes between bullish acceleration (uptrend strengthening), bullish deceleration (uptrend weakening), bearish acceleration (downtrend strengthening), and bearish deceleration (downtrend weakening), providing traders with nuanced momentum insights beyond simple bullish/bearish binary signals.
🟢 Signal Interpretation
▶ Bullish Acceleration (Bright Green): Fast ribbon above slow ribbon AND fast ribbon rising, indicating confirmed uptrend with building momentum = Strongest bullish condition, ideal for new long entries, adding to positions, or holding existing longs with confidence
▶ Bullish Deceleration (Dark Green): Fast ribbon above slow ribbon BUT fast ribbon falling, indicating uptrend intact but momentum weakening = Caution signal for longs, potential trend exhaustion developing, consider tightening stops or taking partial profits
▶ Bearish Acceleration (Bright Red): Fast ribbon below slow ribbon AND fast ribbon falling, indicating confirmed downtrend with building momentum = Strongest bearish condition, ideal for new short entries, exiting longs, or maintaining defensive positioning
▶ Bearish Deceleration (Dark Red): Fast ribbon below slow ribbon BUT fast ribbon rising, indicating downtrend intact but momentum weakening = Caution signal for shorts, potential trend exhaustion developing, prepare for possible reversal or consolidation
▶ Bullish Crossover: Fast ribbon crosses above slow ribbon, signaling trend reversal from bearish to bullish and initiation of new upward momentum phase = Primary buy signal, entry opportunity for trend-following strategies, exit signal for short positions
▶ Bearish Crossover: Fast ribbon crosses below slow ribbon, signaling trend reversal from bullish to bearish and initiation of new downward momentum phase = Primary sell signal, entry opportunity for short strategies, exit signal for long positions
▶ Ribbon Spread Width: Distance between fast and slow ribbons indicates trend strength and conviction, where wider spreads suggest strong, sustained directional movement with low reversal probability, while tight or converging ribbons indicate weak trends, consolidation, or impending reversal conditions
▶ Bar Color Alignment: When bar coloring is enabled, candlestick colors mirror the ribbon state providing immediate visual confirmation of momentum conditions directly on price action, eliminating the need to reference the indicator separately and enabling faster decision-making during active trading
🟢 Features
▶ Preconfigured Presets: Three optimized parameter configurations accommodate different trading styles, timeframes, and market analysis approaches: "Default" provides balanced trend identification suitable for swing trading on 4-hour and daily charts, "Fast Response" delivers heightened sensitivity optimized for intraday trading and scalping on 5-minute to 1-hour charts, and "Smooth Trend" offers conservative trend identification ideal for position trading and long-term analysis on daily to weekly charts.
▶ Built-in Alerts: Three alert conditions enable comprehensive automated monitoring of trend reversals and momentum transitions. "Bullish Crossover" triggers when the fast ribbon crosses above the slow ribbon, signaling the shift from downtrend to uptrend and the beginning of bullish momentum building. "Bearish Crossover" activates when the fast ribbon crosses below the slow ribbon, signaling the shift from uptrend to downtrend and the beginning of bearish momentum building. "Any Ribbon Crossover" provides a combined notification for either bullish or bearish crossover regardless of direction, useful for general trend reversal monitoring and ensuring no momentum shift goes unnoticed.
▶ Color Customization: Six visual themes (Classic, Aqua, Cosmic, Cyber, Neon, plus Custom) accommodate different chart backgrounds and visual preferences, ensuring optimal contrast and immediate identification of acceleration versus deceleration states across various devices and screen sizes. Each preset uses distinct colors for the four momentum states (bullish acceleration, bullish deceleration, bearish acceleration, bearish deceleration) with proper visual hierarchy. Optional bar coloring with adjustable transparency provides instant visual context of current momentum state and trend direction without switching between the price pane and indicator pane, enabling traders and investors to immediately assess trend positioning and acceleration dynamics while analyzing price action patterns and support/resistance levels.

---
Credits & Attribution
This script is based on the original
“Volume Profile With HVN/LVN Detector”
by tradeforopp (revised by Madpuppy88 ).
The current version refactors the original implementation to improve:
Runtime safety on low timeframes
Performance on high-frequency charts
Robust multi-timeframe handling
Original concept and core logic credit remain with the original authors.
---
How to Use
VPOC highlights the price level of highest traded volume for the session and often acts as a magnet or balance point.
HVNs represent areas of acceptance where price previously traded heavily and may act as support/resistance or consolidation zones.
LVNs mark areas of rejection where price moved quickly and may act as inflection or breakout levels.
Use HVNs and LVNs from the prior session to frame intraday bias, targets, and risk zones.
On very fast charts, the script automatically falls back to chart-timeframe data to maintain stability.
White Core Trend [wjdtks255]
White Core Trend is a trend-following indicator designed to strip away market noise and visualize the "Core Trend" of price action. It focuses on the essential relationship between price and a dynamic baseline to provide clear trading decisions.
White Core Line: Built on a responsive HMA (Hull Moving Average) logic, this line acts as the definitive trend filter. It reacts swiftly to price changes while maintaining a smooth trajectory to reduce false signals.
Intuitive Visual Signals: The indicator identifies trend exhaustion and reversal points by plotting triangle labels (▲/▼). These signals help traders maintain discipline and avoid emotional decision-making.
Minimalist Design: Optimized for clarity, the indicator eliminates unnecessary clutter like background colors or complex data overlays, keeping the focus strictly on the trend and entry levels.
As a core technical tool, this indicator is used to identify the market's direction and establish precise entry/exit benchmarks.
1. Entry Strategy
Long Entry: Enter when the price crosses above the White Core Line and a green triangle appears.
Short Entry: Enter when the price crosses below the White Core Line and a red triangle appears.
Note: Ensure the candle body closes decisively across the line to confirm the signal.
2. Position Management
Trend Following: Stay in the trade as long as the price remains on the correct side of the White Core Line.
Reference Point: Use the horizontal white "Entry" line as a visual anchor for your current position.
3. Exit & Stop Loss
Stop Loss: Exit immediately if the price crosses back over the White Core Line against your position.
Take Profit: Secure profits when the price reaches your target or when the trend starts to flatten out (sideways movement) near the core line.

ETF-CFD Ratio Bridge
This indicator helps traders visualize the relationship between ETFs and their corresponding CFD/Spot instruments. It allows you to trade on one chart while monitoring the equivalent price levels of the other instrument without mental math or switching screens.
Features
1. Ratio Table
A customizable table displayed on the chart (default: Top Right) that shows:
- Pair : The ETF and CFD pair being monitored.
- Ratio : The calculated price ratio (ETF / CFD).
- Prices : Real-time prices for both instruments.
2. Companion Price Label
A dynamic label that moves with the current price candle.
- Displays the equivalent price of the paired instrument.
- Example : If you are viewing SPY , the label shows the equivalent US500 price next to the candle.
3. Left Virtual Scale
A custom vertical axis drawn on the left side of the chart.
- Shows price levels for the companion instrument corresponding to the current visible chart range.
- Allows you to read "CFD prices" directly on an "ETF chart" (and vice versa) via the Y-axis.
4. Historical Levels lines
Visualizes recent market structure converted to the companion price.
- HH(x) : Highest High of the last X bars (default: 20).
- LL(x) : Lowest Low of the last X bars.
- Dashed lines extend to the right with labels showing the converted price at those key levels.
5. Closed Market Handling
Ensures the indicator remains useful even when the ETF market is closed (e.g., after hours) while the Futures/CFD market is open.
- Automatic Detection : The script detects if the ETF market is closed based on the timestamp.
- Fixed Ratio : Automatically switches to a user-defined "Fixed Ratio" when the ETF is closed.
- Continuous Updates : Prevents values from freezing, calculating a synthetic "Shadow Price" for the closed asset so you can continue to see projected levels based on the live CFD market.
Technical Explanation (The Math)
The indicator functions by calculating a dynamic ratio between the two instruments and using it to convert price levels.
Formulas
1. Calculate Ratio :
Ratio = Price(ETF) / Price(CFD)
2. Conversion :
- ETF Chart → CFD Price :
Equivalent CFD Price = Current ETF Price / Ratio
- CFD Chart → ETF Price :
Equivalent ETF Price = Current CFD Price × Ratio
Example (SPY vs US500)
- Scenario : You are trading on the SPY chart.
- Current Prices :
- SPY (ETF) = $500
- US500 (CFD) = $5000
- Step 1 : Calculate Ratio
- 500 / 5000 = 0.10
- Step 2 : Calculate Equivalent Price
- If SPY moves to $505 , what is the US500 equivalent?
- 505 / 0.10 = 5050
- The indicator will display "US500: 5050" on the label and scale.
Supported Pairs
SPY (AMEX) = US500
GLD (AMEX) = XAUUSD
SLV (AMEX) = XAGUSD
IWM (AMEX) = US2000
QQQ (NASDAQ) = NAS100
IBIT (NASDAQ) = BTCUSD
Settings
- Symbols : Customize the ticker symbols for each pair if your broker uses different names.
- Fixed Ratio (Closed) : Manually adjust the fallback ratio used when the ETF market is closed (default values provided).
- Visuals :
- Toggle Table, Labels, Scale, and Historical Lines on/off.
- Customize colors, text sizes, and positions.
- Right Offset (Bars from Current) : Adjusts how far back (from the current live bar) the Left Virtual Scale is drawn. Increasing this moves the scale further to the left.
- Historical Levels :
- Lookback Length : Number of bars to check for High/Low calculations (Default: 20).

Bull/Bear Volume DiagramOverview
This indicator displays trading volume in a mirrored diagram that separates bullish and bearish activity. Bullish candle volume is plotted above the center line, while bearish candle volume is plotted below it. This layout helps visualize market participation and directional pressure in a more intuitive way than traditional volume histograms.
How It Works
The indicator evaluates each candle and determines whether it is bullish or bearish based on its open and close prices:
If the candle closes above its open, its volume is plotted upward.
If the candle closes below its open, its volume is plotted downward.
Each side is color-coded independently to clearly distinguish buying and selling pressure.
Additionally, the indicator calculates a moving average of volume separately for bullish and bearish candles. These averages help identify trends in directional volume strength and allow traders to compare buyer versus seller dominance over time.
Features
Mirrored bullish and bearish volume visualization
Independent color customization for bullish and bearish volume
Directional volume moving averages
Clear separation of buying and selling activity
Lightweight and responsive calculation
How To Use
This indicator can help traders:
Identify which side of the market is dominating volume
Detect shifts in buying or selling pressure
Compare momentum between bullish and bearish participation
Observe volume trends more clearly than with standard volume bars
Notes
Volume is classified using candle direction, not order flow or tick data.
Results may vary depending on timeframe and market type.
This indicator is intended as a visual analysis tool and should be combined with other technical analysis methods.

IAN'S SMTHow to fix it (pick ONE)
✅ Option A — Treat MNQ as NQ (recommended)
If MNQ should behave identically to NQ:
isNQ = chartNorm == symA_norm or chartNorm == "MNQ1"
or more robust:
isNQ = str.contains(chartNorm, "NQ")
That makes:
NQ1!
MNQ1!
NQH2026
all map to index 0
✅ Option B — Add MNQ as its own symbol (clean but heavier)
Add a 4th symbol slot:
symD = input.symbol("MNQ1!", "Symbol D")
Then:
Update N_SYMS
Add high_i(3), low_i(3)
Expand every SMT array
This works but is a lot of refactoring

Volume Pressure OscillatorThe Volume Pressure Oscillator (VPO) measures whether recent volume is mostly supporting up days (buying pressure) or down days (selling pressure). Readings above +5 indicate strong positive volume pressure, while readings below −5 indicate strong negative pressure.
VPO signals are most useful as confirmation around price structures: breakouts with VPO > +5, pullbacks in an existing uptrend where VPO remains positive, or bottom formations where VPO turns from negative to positive. In these cases, volume is aligned with the price move, increasing the probability of trend continuation.
Signals are less reliable in choppy, range-bound markets, on illiquid instruments, or during news-driven spikes, where volume and price can be erratic. A false signal occurs when VPO crosses above/below the threshold but price fails to follow through and quickly reverses. For best results, always use VPO together with trend filters (e.g., moving averages), support/resistance, and market context, rather than as a standalone buy/sell tool.
How VPO works (brief)
VPO > 0: Recent volume is dominantly on up days (buying pressure).
VPO < 0: Recent volume is dominantly on down days (selling pressure).
+5 / −5: Default critical thresholds where signals and “D” markers appear.
The MA line of VPO helps filter noise and highlight more durable pressure.
Situations where signals are interesting
Use VPO as confirmation or early warning around price structures you as already identified (breakouts, bases, trends).
1. Breakout with strong positive volume pressure
Price breaks a resistance or a consolidation zone.
VPO crosses above +5 and stays in the bullish zone for several bars.
The MA of VPO is rising or above zero.
Interpretation:
Buyers dominate the tape, the breakout has real volume behind it. This is often a good context to consider entering or pyramiding, especially if:
Trend is already up (above 50/200 MA).
Broader market is also bullish.
There is no major overhead resistance immediately above.
2. Pullback in an uptrend with VPO staying positive
Price pulls back modestly but remains in an uptrend (higher highs / higher lows, MA up).
VPO dips but stays above zero or quickly recovers above +5.
No heavy negative VPO spikes below −5.
Interpretation:
Selling is more like a pause than real distribution. This context can justify buying the dip or adding, as long as your risk management (stop, position size) is clear.
3. Reversal from a bottom with positive VPO shift
After a downtrend, price forms a base, double bottom, or tight range.
VPO moves from negative territory to above +5 for the first time in a while.
The MA of VPO turns up and crosses above zero.
Interpretation:
Volume starts supporting the upside. It can be an early sign of accumulation. This becomes interesting if:
Price confirms with a breakout above the base.
The market context is improving (index strength, sector rotation).
Situations where signals are not very useful
VPO alone should not drive decisions in noisy or structurally weak contexts.
1. Range-bound / choppy markets
Price oscillates in a flat range without clear trend.
VPO frequently crosses +5 and −5 without sustained direction.
In that case, many “D” signals will just correspond to minor swings inside a range. They can be taken as short-term trading hints, but not as strong investable signals.
2. Very low volume assets or illiquid markets
Spreads are wide, volume is sporadic.
A few orders can push both price and VPO sharply.
In such cases, VPO can overreact and produce apparent “signals” that are just random prints in an illiquid order book.
3. Strong news-driven spikes
Earnings, takeover rumors, macro announcements.
Volume explodes, VPO spikes, but price behavior is abnormal and highly volatile.
The indicator will show strong volume pressure, but the risk profile is different (gap risk, slippage, abnormal volatility). Signals here are more “informational” than investable, unless you have a specific event-driven strategy.
What is a false signal with VPO?
A false signal is when VPO suggests a strong directional edge, but price action fails to follow through or quickly reverses.
Typical patterns of false signals:
VPO crosses above +5 (bullish “D”) near resistance, but:
- Price fails to break out or immediately rejects the level.
- Next bars show a quick drop back below zero or even below −5.
VPO crosses below −5 (bearish “D”) after an extended selloff, but:
- Price quickly rebounds and forms a V-shaped recovery.
- No continuation downside despite “strong” negative volume.
How to reduce false signals:
Always combine VPO with:
- Trend filters (MA 50/200, higher highs/lows).
- Key levels (supports, resistances, bases, breakouts).
- Broader market/sector context.
Give more weight to signals:
- That align with the prevailing trend.
- Where VPO stays above/below the threshold for several bars.
- Where the VPO MA confirms the direction.
