Bollinger Bands Forecast [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
Bollinger Bands are widely recognized for mapping volatility boundaries around price action, but they inherently lag behind market movement since they calculate based on completed bars. The Bollinger Bands Forecast addresses this limitation by adding a predictive layer that attempts to project where the upper band, lower band, and basis line might position in the future. The indicator provides three unique analytical models for generating these projections: one examines swing structure and breakout patterns, another integrates volume flow and accumulation metrics, while the third applies statistical trend fitting. Traders can select whichever methodology aligns with their market view or trading style to gain visibility into potential future volatility zones that could inform position planning, risk management, and timing decisions across various asset classes and timeframes.
🟢 How It Works
The core calculation begins with traditional Bollinger Bands: a moving average basis line (configurable as SMA, EMA, SMMA/RMA, WMA, or VWMA) with upper and lower bands positioned at a specified number of standard deviations away. The forecasting extension works by first generating predicted price values for upcoming bars using the selected method. These projected prices then feed into a rolling calculation that simulates how the basis line would update bar by bar, respecting the mathematical properties of the chosen moving average type. As each new forecasted price enters the calculation window, the oldest historical price drops out, mimicking the natural progression of the moving average. The system recalculates standard deviation across this evolving price window and applies the multiplier to determine where upper and lower bands would theoretically sit. This process repeats for each of the forecasted bars, creating a connected chain of potential future band positions that render as dashed lines on the chart.
🟢 Key Features
1. Market Structure Model
This forecasting approach interprets price through the lens of swing analysis and structural patterns. The algorithm identifies pivot highs and lows across a definable lookback window, then tracks whether price is forming higher highs and higher lows (bullish structure) or lower highs and lower lows (bearish structure). The system looks for break of structure (BOS) when price pushes beyond a previous swing point in the trending direction, or change of character (CHoCH) when price starts creating opposing swing patterns.
When projecting future prices, the model considers current distance from recent swing levels and the strength of the established trend (measured by counting higher highs versus lower lows). If bullish structure dominates and price sits near a swing low, the forecast biases upward. Conversely, bearish structure near a swing high produces downward bias. ATR scaling ensures the projection magnitude relates to actual market volatility.
Practical Implications for Traders:
Useful when you trade based on swing points and structural breaks
The Structure Influence slider (0 to 1) lets you dial in how much weight structure analysis carries versus pure trend
Helps visualize where bands could form around key structural levels you're watching
Works better in trending conditions where structure patterns are clearer
Might be less effective in choppy, sideways markets without defined swings
2. Volume-Weighted Model
This method attempts to incorporate volume flow into the price forecast. It combines three volume-based metrics: On-Balance Volume (OBV) to track cumulative buying/selling pressure, the Accumulation/Distribution Line to measure money flow, and volume-weighted price changes to emphasize moves that occur on high volume. The algorithm calculates the slope of these indicators to determine if volume is confirming price direction or diverging from it.
Volume spikes above a configurable threshold are flagged as potentially significant, with the direction of the spike (whether it occurred on an up bar or down bar) influencing the forecast. When OBV, A/D Line, and volume momentum all align in the same direction, the model projects stronger moves. When they conflict or show weak volume support, the forecast becomes more conservative.
Practical Implications for Traders:
Relevant if you use volume analysis to confirm price moves
More meaningful in markets with reliable volume data
The Volume Influence parameter (0 to 1) controls how much volume factors into the projection
Volume Spike Threshold adjusts sensitivity to what constitutes unusual volume
Helps spot scenarios where volume doesn't support a move, suggesting possible consolidation
Might be less effective in low-liquidity instruments or markets where volume reporting is unreliable
3. Linear Regression Model
The simplest of the three methods, linear regression fits a straight line through recent price data using least-squares mathematics and extends that line forward. This creates a clean trend projection without conditional logic or interpretation of market characteristics. The forecast simply asks: if the recent trend continues at its current rate of change, where would price be in 10 or 20 bars?
Practical Implications for traders:
Provides a neutral, mathematical baseline for comparison
Works well when trends are steady and consistent
Can be useful for backtesting since results are deterministic
Requires minimal configuration beyond lookback period
Might not adapt to changing market conditions as dynamically as the other methods
Best suited for trending markets rather than ranging or volatile conditions
🟢 Universal Applications Across All Models
Regardless of which forecasting method you select, the indicator projects future Bollinger Band positions that may help with:
▶ Pre-planning entries and exits: See where potential support (lower band) or resistance (upper band) might develop before price gets there
▶ Volatility context: Observe whether forecasted bands are widening (suggesting potential volatility expansion) or narrowing (possible compression or squeeze setup)
▶ Target setting: Reference projected band levels when determining profit targets or stop placement
▶ Mean reversion scenarios: Visualize potential paths back toward the basis line when price extends to a band extreme
▶ Breakout anticipation: Consider where upper or lower bands might sit if price begins a strong directional move
▶ Strategy development: Build trading rules around forecasted band interactions, such as entering when price is projected to return to the basis or exit when forecasts show band expansion
▶ Method comparison: Switch between the three forecasting models to see if they agree or diverge, potentially using consensus as a confidence filter
It's critical to understand that these forecasts are projections based on recent market behavior. Markets are complex systems influenced by countless factors that cannot be captured in a technical calculation or predicted perfectly. The forecasted bands represent one possible scenario of how volatility might unfold, so actual price action may still diverge from these projections. Past performance and historical patterns provide no assurance of future results. Use these forecasts as one input within a broader trading framework that includes proper risk management, position sizing, and multiple forms of analysis. The value lies not in prediction accuracy but in helping you think probabilistically about potential market states and plan accordingly.

BTC Regime Oscillator (MC + Spread) [1D]ONLY SUPPOSED TO BE USED FOR BTC PERPS, AND SPOT LEVERAGING:
This is a risk oscillator that measures whether Bitcoin’s price is supported by real capital or is running ahead of it, and converts that into a simple risk-regime oscillator.
It's built with market cap, and FDV, and Z-scores compressed to -100 <-> 100
I created this indicator because I got tired of FOMO Twitter and Wall Street games.
DO NOT USE THIS AS A BEGIN-ALL-AND-END-ALL. YOU NEED TO USE THIS AS A CONFIRMATION INDICATOR, AND ON HTF ONLY (1D>) IF YOU USE THIS ON LOWER TIMEFRAMES, YOU ARE FEEDING YOUR MONEY TO A LOW-LIFE DING BAT ON WALL STREET. HERE IS HOW IT WORKS:
This indicator is Split up by
A) Market Cap
--> Represents real money in BTC
--> Ownership capital
--> If MC is rising, money is entering BTC
B) FDV (Fully Diluted Valuation)
--> For BTC: price(21M) (21,000,000)
--> Represents the theoretical valuation
--> Since BTC really has a fixed cap, FDV mostly tracks the price
C) Oscillators
Both MC and FDV are:
--> Logged (to handle scale)
--> Normalized (Z-score)
--> Compressed to -100 <-> 100
HERE ARE THREE THINGS YOU ARE GOING TO SEE ON THE CHART
A) The market cap oscillator (MC OSC)
--> Normalized trend of real capital
RISING: Indicates capital inflow
FALLING: Indicates capital outflow
B) FDV Oscillator
--> Normalized trend of valuation pressure
ABOVE MC: Price is ahead of capital
BELOW MC: Capital is keeping up
!!!! FDV IS CONTEXT NOT SIGNALS !!!!
C) Spread = (FDV - MC)
--> The difference between valuation and capital
(THIS IS THE CORE SIGNAL)
NEGATIVE: Capital is gonna lead price
NEAR 0: Balanced
POSITIVE: Price leads capital
(THIS MEANS STRESS FOR BTC, NOT DILLUTION!)
WHAT DOES -60, 0, 60 MEAN?:
--> These are meant to serve as risk zones, not buy/sell dynamics; this is not the same as an RSI oscillator.
A) 0 level
--> Price and capital are balanced
--> No structural stress
(TRADE WITH NORMAL POSITION SIZE, AND NORMAL EXPECTATIONS)
B) Below -60 (Supportive/Compressed)
--> BTC is relatively cheap to recent history
--> Capital supports price well
(ALWAYS REMEMBER TO CONFIRM THIS WITH WHAT THE CHART IS TELLING YOU)
--> Press trends
--> Use higher ATRs
--> Pullbacks are better here
C) Above 60 (Overextension, or fragile)
--> BTC is expensive relative to recent history
--> Price is ahead of capital
(ALWAYS REMEMBER TO CONFIRM THIS WITH WHAT THE CHART IS TELLING YOU)
--> Reduce leverage, use smaller ATR
--> Use lower ATRs, TP faster
--> Do not chase breakouts
--> Expect volatility and whipsaws
"Can I press trades right now? Or do I need to hog my capital?"
CONDITIONS:
Spread Less than 0 and below -60 = Press trades
Spread near 0 = Normal trading conditions
Spread is Greater than 0 or above 60+ = Capital protection

BTC Impulse Pro
BTC Impulse Pro — Precision Breakout Tool for Bitcoin (5m–15m)
BTC Impulse Pro is a structured breakout companion designed to help traders identify directional shifts and continuation opportunities on intraday Bitcoin charts.
The indicator focuses on clean visual signals, consistent rules, and intuitive workflow integration — without revealing proprietary logic.
Included Setups
1. Standard Breakout Signal
A large directional triangle.
This setup triggers when price shows a clean breakout and confirmation pattern.
It is the primary trading signal of the tool and reflects moments of strong directional intent.
2. Wick Breakout Signal
A smaller directional triangle.
This setup appears when price interacts with a key level through a wick rejection before breaking out.
It can highlight momentum shifts early, but requires additional caution in choppy market phases.
3. Confluence Dot
A small directional dot.
This appears when internal structure conditions align with the prevailing directional bias.
The Confluence Dot can:
act as secondary confirmation for the two breakout signals
or be used as its own standalone signal
However, because it may appear during early or developing moves, users should evaluate market context carefully before acting on it.
EMA Stack & Trend Context
The indicator includes an optional EMA stack that helps visualize directional strength and transitions.
While not required for signals, the EMA 200 often acts as a dynamic boundary — when price trades very close to it, users should treat all signals with increased caution due to higher whipsaw risk.
Dynamic Stop & TP Guides
Suggested Stop and Take-Profit levels are automatically displayed when structure confirms.
These levels are meant as orientation tools, not strict requirements.
Different volatility conditions may require different management techniques, so users are encouraged to test what works best for their style.
NY Reference Line (00:00 NY Time)
The vertical reference line can be shifted via the NY Offset setting.
It should be aligned with 00:00 New York time for consistent daily segmentation across different time zones and chart feeds.
Recommended Timeframes
Optimized for 5m and 15m, but can also be tested on other timeframes depending on market structure and volatility.
Usage Notes
This indicator is not financial advice.
All signals should be interpreted within broader market context.
The tool does not execute trades — it assists with visual decision-making.

🧠 What is THE ORACLE v5
THE ORACLE v5 is my institutional style market assistant.
It does not try to predict the future with magic. It reads the current regime and answers one simple question:
“Is this a quality location to be involved in this market or should I sit on my hands”
The engine watches
• Structure and smart money concepts
• Volume and order flow pressure
• VWAP and premium or discount zones
• Multi timeframe trend alignment
• Momentum and volatility conditions
• Session and killzone timing
Every bar it builds an internal score and only throws a signal when enough conditions line up.
You are not buying the logic from this description. You are just getting a clean interface to read what the engine is already calculating behind the scenes.
⸻
🚀 Quick start
1️⃣ Add THE ORACLE v5 to your chart
Use it mainly on Gold and major CFD pairs. It works intraday and swing, but stay consistent with the timeframe you choose.
2️⃣ Choose your mode in the settings
• Sniper for very selective trades
• Aggressive for more frequent setups
• Scalper for faster moves
• Swing for higher timeframe bias and cleaner locations
3️⃣ Watch the signal labels on the chart
• Green LONG labels show long opportunities
• Red SHORT labels show short opportunities
Each one comes with a confidence grade so you can quickly decide if it deserves your attention or just a screenshot for study.
⸻
📺 Reading the terminal dashboard
Top panel is your mission control. It shows things like
• Current algo status scanning, long, or short
• Market structure bullish, bearish, or ranging
• Higher timeframe bias and how many timeframes agree
• Volume state normal, active, institutional, extreme
• Valuation relative to VWAP premium, discount, extreme
• Volatility and regime expansion or contraction
• Session context London, New York, killzones, or off hours
Use it like a checklist. If the terminal is screaming premium, extreme volatility and off session, you know you are forcing trades. If you see discount, aligned bias, clean session and a fresh signal, that is where you lean in.
⸻
🎯 How to use the signals
When a new LONG or SHORT signal appears:
1️⃣ Check the dashboard first
Is structure aligned with the direction
Is the multi timeframe bias agreeing
Is volume supportive or dead
2️⃣ Look at the TP and SL ladder the script prints
You will see
• Suggested stop location
• Three take profit levels
Use these as a framework. You still choose your exact execution and partials.
3️⃣ Size your risk
The risk section lets you think in risk per trade rather than random lot size. Keep risk controlled, especially if you are new to the engine.
4️⃣ Respect the mode you chose
On Sniper mode you should expect less trades but better conditions. Do not compare it to an aggressive scalper mode and call it slow.
⸻
📝 Pending order system
The pending orders section is there for traders who want to set levels in advance instead of chasing price.
The engine can suggest
• Buy limits in discount zones or at key pullback levels
• Sell limits in premium zones or at supply style areas
• Buy stops above breakout areas
• Sell stops below breakdown areas
For each pending idea you will see
• Entry
• Stop
• TP one and TP two
• Reason for the idea such as VWAP retest, discount band, breakout stop
You still decide if you actually place that order. Think of it as a smart assistant highlighting levels, not a robot you obey blindly.
⸻
🧩 How this fits in your trading
Use THE ORACLE v5 as
• A regime detector to tell you when the market is worth touching
• A confluence layer on top of your own strategy
• A way to track structure, volume and VWAP without drawing everything by hand
You bring
• Your own playbook
• Your own risk rules
• Your own discipline
The engine brings the data and structure so you can move like a desk, not a random retail trader.

Trading CFDs, forex and futures carries significant risk. Do your own research, test everything in demo and never risk money you cannot afford to lose.
Beast Mode PRO v3 Oscillator and SignalsConcept and Underlying Logic
This indicator is a "Composite Regime Filter" designed to solve the problem of single-indicator noise. In standard trading, an RSI might signal "Overbought" while a MACD signals "Bullish," leading to conflicting bias. Beast Mode PRO solves this by normalizing multiple momentum and volatility metrics into a single, unified "Regime Score."
Instead of using raw values (which vary wildly between indicators), this script utilizes Z-Score Normalization. It calculates the statistical mean and standard deviation of six distinct inputs (RSI, CCI, Fisher Transform, DMI, Z-Score, and MA Ratio) over a lookback period. This converts all inputs into a standardized scale (Standard Deviations from the mean), allowing them to be compared mathematically "apples-to-apples."
The Clustering Engine
Once normalized, the script employs a custom Clustering algorithm. It analyzes the distribution of the normalized values to determine the statistical "center" of Bullish, Bearish, and Neutral sentiment.
Vote Aggregation: Each of the six components casts a "vote" based on its position relative to the cluster centers.
Composite Scoring: These votes are averaged to create the "Composite Score" (0-100 scale).
Adaptive Thresholds: Rather than using fixed levels (like RSI 70/30), this script uses dynamic Bollinger Band-based thresholds on the Composite Score to identify significant regime shifts based on current market volatility.
Key Features & Components
1. The Composite Oscillator (Bottom Pane)
This is the heartbeat of the system. It visualizes the aggregated score.
Step Line: Represents the smoothed consensus of the underlying six indicators.
Dynamic Bands: The gray bands expand and contract. Signals are only generated when the consensus score breaks out of these volatility bands, reducing fake-outs during consolidation.
2. Signal Filtering (The "Why" behind the Mashup)
A raw signal is rarely enough. This script integrates three specific filters to prevent trading in low-probability environments:
Chop Filter: Uses an ATR-based Chop Index to detect sideways ranging markets. If the market is chopping, signals are suppressed.
Session Filter: Allows the user to exclude low-volume times (e.g., the gap between NY close and Asia open).
Trend Filter: An optional EMA filter ensures that Bullish regime signals are only valid if price is above the trend baseline, aligning momentum with the macro trend.
3. Cycle & Momentum (CyMo) Toggles
To provide secondary confirmation, the script includes toggles for:
STC (Schaff Trend Cycle): A cycle indicator to detect market tops and bottoms.
SMI (Stochastic Momentum Index): For faster entry timing within the established regime.
4. The Dashboard
A customizable table provides a real-time health check of the asset. It displays the raw values of the six inputs, their current "Vote" (Bull/Bear), and the overall system status (Active, Chop, or Low Vol).
How to Use
This tool is intended for trend-following and swing trading.
Trend Entry: Wait for the candles to turn Green (Bullish Regime) or Red (Bearish Regime) and ensure the Dashboard status is "ACTIVE".
Pullbacks: The small triangle shapes indicate "Trend Re-entries." These occur when the internal oscillator reaches an extreme and snaps back in the direction of the main trend.
Exits: The "TP" circles appear when momentum begins to diverge from price, suggesting a potential exhaustion of the current move.
Settings
Heikin Ashi Source: The script calculates based on Heikin Ashi data to smooth out price noise before processing.
Dashboard: Fully customizable size and location to fit your workspace.
Sensitivity: Users can adjust the "Cluster Count" and "Lookback Window" to tune the responsiveness of the regime detection.

• Liquidity and previous day levels
• A live institutional panel so you always know what the engine is seeing
No trade automation.
No promises.
Just a structured, visual decision system.
⸻
🧠 What the indicator shows you
v11 focuses on clarity and context, not noise:
• 🔁 Directional Calls
Clear BUY / SELL signals with on-chart labels and mapped levels
• 📊 Trend & Volatility Context
The panel shows you trend state and volatility environment so you’re not trading blind into chop

All of this is visual output only.
The internal logic, filters and formulas stay private.
⸻
🕹 How to use Prophecy v11 step by step
1️⃣ Load it on your main markets
Best for:
• XAUUSD
• Indices
• Major FX pairs
• Volatile intraday markets
Keep one chart clean with only Prophecy running so you can read it properly.
⸻
2️⃣ Start with the top-left panel
The panel gives you the summary in one glance:
• Current symbol and timeframe
• Trend context
• Last signal (BUY / SELL / none)
• Count of calls for the session / day
• The latest:
• Entry
• SL
• TP1 / TP2 / TP3
• BE level
If the panel says the session is closed, treat signals as lower priority.
⸻
3️⃣ Read the chart like an institutional layout
Once a signal prints:
• Use the mapped entry + SL + TP ladder as your structure
• The right-edge labels show SL / TP levels clearly
• The BE line and tag show you where price would neutralize risk
• The risk ladder gives you a visual framework instead of guessing
You still decide:
• If you take the entry
• How much you risk
• How you scale out at TP1 / TP2 / TP3
Prophecy v11 is a decision aid, not a replacement for your brain.
⸻
4️⃣ Use the Smart Money layer as confirmation, not a signal
The extra visuals are there to keep you aware of context:
• CHOCH / BOS tags → show when structure is shifting
• Liquidity grabs → show when highs / lows are being raided and rejected
• Demand / Supply zones (POIs) → highlight areas where reaction is likely
• Prev Day High / Low → key reference levels for intraday trading
You can use these to:
• Avoid chasing entries into obvious liquidity
• Align your trades with structure direction
• Time your entries near POIs instead of in the middle of nowhere
Again: these are not standalone signals, they are context.
⸻
👤 Who v11 is built for
• Intraday traders on Gold, indices and FX
• Traders who like clean on-chart levels
• Traders who want signal + structure + liquidity in one place
• Those who already have a plan and just want a sharper visual operating system
If you’re looking for a “press button get rich” bot, this isn’t for you.
⸻
⚠️ Risk Disclaimer
• This is not financial advice
• This indicator does not guarantee profitability
• Markets carry risk; only trade what you can afford to lose
• Always combine this with your own backtesting and risk management

LHAMA MTF Structure & Fibs [LTS]Overview
LHAMA MTF Structure & Fibs is a multi-purpose market structure toolkit that combines current-timeframe structure, higher-timeframe structure, Imbalance/FVG-based order blocks, and automatic Fibonacci retracements into a single chart overlay.
Current-Timeframe Structure
The indicator first maps current-timeframe market structure using swing highs and lows based on a user-defined pivot length (“Time-Horizon”):
Labels swing points as HH , HL , LH , and LL .
Draws BOS (Break of Structure) when price breaks beyond a prior swing.
Optionally identifies CHoCH (Change of Character) when a break occurs against the previous direction.
Lets you choose whether BOS/CHoCH confirmation uses closes or wicks .
Provides options to show/hide swing labels, choose line style (solid/dashed/dotted), and configure bullish/bearish colors.
Higher-Timeframe (HTF) Structure
On top of the local structure, the script builds a higher-timeframe structure map and projects it onto your active chart:
Aggregates price into HTF “bars” (e.g., 4h structure on a 5m chart).
Detects HTF pivots with their own pivot length setting.
Draws HTF BOS/CHoCH lines and labels back on the lower timeframe.
Lets you choose wick vs close confirmation for HTF breaks.
Optional “ pending ” HTF levels: lines extended from the latest HTF swing highs/lows that remain “waiting” until price breaks them.
This is designed to make it easier to see how intraday price is moving relative to the dominant higher-timeframe trend.
Order Blocks (Imbalance/FVG-Based)
The indicator detects simple bullish and bearish order blocks based on fair value gaps and prior sweeps:
Identifies bullish/bearish FVGs together with a sweep of a previous low/high.
Creates colored boxes anchored to an “anchor” candle and extends them forward.
Marks boxes as “broken” when price trades inside or through the opposite side.
Broken blocks can have reduced emphasis (more transparent, dashed border) and can optionally be deleted.
Show Nearest Only mode highlights only the closest active bullish and bearish blocks to reduce chart clutter.
Periodic cleanup removes very old boxes to maintain chart responsiveness.
Automatic Fibonacci Levels
The script can draw up to five customizable Fibonacci retracement levels using the HTF structure logic:
Measures swings using HTF pivots and extremes.
Historical mode : measures between two confirmed pivots in one direction.
Live mode : starts from the last confirmed pivot and tracks the evolving extreme; if price reverses through that pivot, measurement can flip to track the new leg.
Each Fib level has its own on/off toggle, ratio value, and color.
Draws a main swing line plus retracement lines projected slightly into the future.
Key Inputs & Customization
Market Structure (Current TF)
Pivot length (“Time-Horizon”).
BOS confirmation: candle close or wicks.

HTF PO3 [Motoneiron]📌 HTF PO3
This indicator plots Higher Timeframe candles directly on a Lower Timeframe chart, allowing traders to clearly observe HTF structure while analyzing execution on LTF.
It provides a deeper understanding of PO3, AMD (Accumulation–Manipulation–Distribution) and HTF→LTF fractal behavior — all without switching charts.
HTF candles include:
Open
Close
High & Low extremes
Real-time remaining time until HTF candle close
You can display from 1 to 10 HTF candles simultaneously, both in automatic mode (where the indicator selects the correct HTF based on your LTF) and manual mode (you pick any HTF you want).
🕒 Automatic HTF Selection (Built-in Timeframe Mapping)
In Automatic Mode the script chooses the appropriate HTF based on the current chart timeframe using the following pairs:
1m → 5m
3m → 15m
5m → 30m
15m → 1H
30m → 2H
45m → 3H
1H → 4H
2H → 6H
3H → 12H
4H → 1D
6H → 1D
12H → 1W
Manual mode allows overriding this mapping and selecting any HTF you prefer.
✨ What this indicator helps you see
Thanks to precise rendering and optional offset, you can easily observe:
HTF Open levels (key ICT reference points)
Extremes forming inside the active HTF candle
Internal AMD structure building inside HTF
Intra-HTF PO3 development
How price behaves around significant HTF zones
This deepens your understanding of market structure, premium/discount arrays, and PO3 mechanics while staying on the lower timeframe.
⚙️ Key Features
Plot 1–10 HTF candles on any LTF
Automatic HTF mapping or fully manual selection
Customizable colors (body/wick)
Adjust candle width, horizontal offset
Time labels: weekday, date, time, month (depends on HTF)
Real-time countdown until HTF close
Optional shifting of labels & candles for visual clarity
Designed for PO3, AMD, ICT concepts, HTF structure breakdowns
Institutional Dominance/Trapped Trader Profile @MaxMaserati 3.0📊 Institutional Dominance & Trapped Trader Delta Profile
@MaxMaserati 3.0
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 OVERVIEW
The IDT Auction Profile is a professional-grade volume order flow analysis tool that reveals where institutional traders hold Positional Advantage and where retail participants are Trapped. Unlike traditional Volume Profile indicators, the IDT Profile integrates Volume Point Delta (VPD) analysis with advanced pattern recognition to identify the exact price levels where profitable institutional positions create support/resistance, and where losing positions are forced to exit.
This indicator answers the critical questions: Who is in profit? Who is trapped? And where will they defend or exit their positions?
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
✨ FEATURES
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚡ Quick Presets - One-click configuration for:
• Scalper (1m-5m): 75 bars, 50 rows, ★3 confluence
• Day Trader (15m-1h): 150 bars, 60 rows, ★3 confluence
• Swing Trader (4h-D): 300 bars, 80 rows, ★4 confluence
🔔 Price Alerts - Get notified when price touches:
• VAH (Value Area High) - Resistance zone
• VAL (Value Area Low) - Support zone
• Adjustable sensitivity (0.05% - 1.0%)
📏 POC Line Extensions - Historical context lines extending left from key institutional levels
👻 Previous Session POCs - Dotted reference lines showing prior period levels (carry-over zones)
📊 Real-Time Statistics Panel:
• Total Volume
• Net Delta
• Buy/Sell Pressure %
🎨 Visual Enhancements:
• Column dividers for clarity
• Transparency controls
• Profile auto-hide when price moves away
• Cached color schemes for 30% performance boost
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🧠 CORE CONCEPT: DOMINANCE VS TRAPPED POSITIONING
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
The indicator categorizes all market participants into two strategic positions based on their entry price relative to current market price:
📍 ABOVE CURRENT PRICE (Resistance Zones)
🔴 Aggressive Sellers in Profit - Sold higher, currently winning. Will defend positions or add to winners.
🟥 Trapped Buyers at Loss - Bought higher, currently losing. Must exit at breakeven, creating resistance.
📍 BELOW CURRENT PRICE (Support Zones)
🟢 Aggressive Buyers in Profit - Bought lower, currently winning. Will defend positions or add to winners.
🟩 Trapped Sellers at Loss - Sold lower, currently losing. Must cover at breakeven, creating support.
⚡ MAXIMUM CONFLUENCE ZONES
When Dominant (Profitable) and Trapped (Loss) positions align at the same level, you get the strongest support/resistance zones:
🟧 Orange Boxes (Above Price) = Aggressive Sellers + Trapped Buyers = STRONGEST RESISTANCE
🟨 Yellow Boxes (Below Price) = Aggressive Buyers + Trapped Sellers = STRONGEST SUPPORT
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📊 VOLUME ANALYSIS COLUMNS
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
1️⃣ VPD Column (Volume Point Delta)
Net aggressive pressure at each price level (Buying Volume - Selling Volume)
- Bullish Delta (Green): Buyers dominated the auction at this level
- Bearish Delta (Red): Sellers dominated the auction at this level
- Smart Coloring: Automatically highlights institutional patterns
2️⃣ VPS Column (Volume Point of Sell - ASK Volume)
Aggressive buying volume that "lifted the offer" by hitting ask prices
- Represents participants who paid the ask price to enter long
- When price is below this level = These buyers are in profit
- When price is above this level = These sellers who got hit are in profit
- Shows institutional bid volume absorption
3️⃣ VPB Column (Volume Point of Buy - BID Volume)
Aggressive selling volume that "hit the bid" by taking bid prices
- Represents participants who sold at bid price to enter short
- When price is above this level = These sellers are in profit
- When price is below this level = These buyers who got hit are in profit
- Shows institutional ask volume absorption
4️⃣ SVP Column (Optional - Session Volume Profile)
Traditional combined volume profile without bid/ask separation
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🔍 ADVANCED INSTITUTIONAL PATTERNS DETECTION
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
The indicator uses statistical analysis (standard deviation, moving averages, hit counting) to identify institutional footprints:
⚡ Failed Auctions - "BUYERS TRAPPED" or "SELLERS TRAPPED" labels
• High volume entered, but price immediately reversed
• Creates extreme concentrations of losing positions
• Trading Implication: High-probability reversal zones where trapped participants must exit
📈 Volume Spikes - Bright green/red bars in VPD column
• Volume exceeds average by 2+ standard deviations
• Represents aggressive institutional entry
• Trading Implication: Potential trend continuation or setup for failed auction
🛡️ Absorption Zones - Yellow/Orange colored bars
• Large passive orders absorbing aggressive volume without price movement
• Indicates accumulation (bullish) or distribution (bearish)
• Trading Implication: Institutional positioning before major moves
🧊 Iceberg Orders - Cyan colored bars with high hit counts
• Same price level shows repeated volume without clearing
• Reveals hidden institutional limit orders split into small pieces
• Trading Implication: Strong liquidity magnets, price often returns here
💜 Volume Exhaustion - Purple colored bars
• Sharp volume drop (50%+) after spike
• Momentum exhausted, participants depleted
• Trading Implication: Potential reversal or consolidation ahead
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎨 SMART INSTITUTIONAL COLORING
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Colors bars based on detected patterns vs simple red/green:
🟨 Yellow = Bullish battles won (buyers + trapped sellers)
🟧 Orange = Bearish battles won (sellers + trapped buyers)
🔵 Cyan = Iceberg orders (hidden liquidity)
🟣 Purple = Large passive orders
🟢 Bright Green = Buying spikes (institutional aggression)
🔴 Bright Red = Selling spikes (institutional aggression)
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⭐ CONFLUENCE SCORING SYSTEM
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Each price level receives 1-5 stars based on:
★★ Volume spike presence (+2 stars)
★ Absorption pattern (+1 star)
★ Large passive orders (+1 star)
★ Proximity to Value Area (+1 star)
★★ Iceberg detection (+2 stars)
★★ Failed auction (+2 stars)
Minimum Signal Strength filter lets you show only levels with ★3+ confluence for highest-quality signals.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 VALUE AREA ANALYSIS
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
VAH (Value Area High) - Blue Line
- Top of the 70% volume acceptance zone
- Price at VAH often rejects downward (resistance)
- Alert triggers when price approaches
VAL (Value Area Low) - Red Line
- Bottom of the 70% volume acceptance zone
- Price at VAL often bounces upward (support)
- Alert triggers when price approaches
Trading Applications:
- Price outside Value Area → Mean reversion opportunity
- Price breaks VA with volume → Trend continuation
- Price oscillates within VA → Range-bound, fade extremes
- Previous session VA lines show carryover levels
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📋 EXPECTED PRICE BEHAVIOR AT KEY LEVELS
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚠️ IMPORTANT: These are observed behavioral patterns for educational purposes and backtesting research. Always validate with 250-500+ backtest trades before risking capital.
1️⃣ POC BOX ZONES (Highest Statistical Relevance)
🟨 Yellow Boxes (Below Current Price - SUPPORT)
Expected Behavior:
- Price approaching from above typically encounters buying pressure
- Both profitable institutional buyers and trapped short sellers create demand
- Common reaction: Price slows, consolidates, or bounces
- Failed bounces often lead to rapid breakdown (trapped buyers capitulate)
What Often Happens:
- Initial dip into zone → Weak bounce attempt
- Second test → Stronger bounce (trapped sellers covering + buyers defending)
- Break below → Quick acceleration as both groups exit
🟧 Orange Boxes (Above Current Price - RESISTANCE)
Expected Behavior:
- Price rallying into zone typically encounters selling pressure
- Both profitable institutional sellers and trapped long buyers create supply
- Common reaction: Price stalls, consolidates, or rejects
What Often Happens:
- Initial push into zone → Weak rejection
- Second test → Stronger rejection (trapped buyers exiting + sellers defending)
- Break above → Quick acceleration as resistance becomes support
2️⃣ FAILED AUCTION ZONES
"SELLERS TRAPPED" Labels (Below Price):
- High-volume selling that immediately reversed = maximum trapped shorts
- When price returns, trapped sellers face pressure to cover
- Typical pattern: Price approaches → Initial hesitation → Sharp bounce
"BUYERS TRAPPED" Labels (Above Price):
- High-volume buying that immediately failed = maximum trapped longs
- Price returning forces trapped buyers to exit at breakeven
- Typical pattern: Price approaches → Distribution → Rejection
3️⃣ VALUE AREA DYNAMICS
Price Outside Value Area (VAH/VAL):
- Price beyond 70% volume zone = statistical outlier
- Two outcomes: Mean reversion OR trend continuation
- Key differentiator: Presence of confluence zones
Mean Reversion Pattern (No Strong Confluence):
- Price extends 1-2% beyond VA → Typically reverts toward POC
- Weak volume on extension → Higher probability of reversal
Breakout Pattern (With ★4+ Confluence):
- Price breaks VA with institutional patterns → Often continues
- Strong volume + confluence = New value area forming
4️⃣ ICEBERG ORDER BEHAVIOR
Cyan Bars with High Hit Counts:
- Repeated volume at same level = Large hidden order absorbing
- Price typically "tests" iceberg multiple times before resolution
- Two outcomes: Absorption complete (break) OR rejection (bounce)
5️⃣ VOLUME SPIKE PATTERNS
Bright Green/Red Bars (Institutional Aggression):
- Extreme delta spikes indicate institutional entry
- Trend Continuation Spikes: Spike aligned with trend = Often continues
- Exhaustion Spikes: Spike against trend = Failed auction forming
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

🎯 UNIQUE VALUE PROPOSITION
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Unlike standard Volume Profile indicators that only show where volume occurred, the IDT Auction Profile:
✅ Separates bid vs ask volume to reveal true order flow
✅ Identifies who is profitable vs who is trapped at each level
✅ Detects institutional patterns (icebergs, absorption, failed auctions)
✅ Calculates confluence scores combining multiple factors
✅ Provides clear POC boxes showing exact institutional positioning
✅ Maps positional advantage rather than just volume density
✅ Alerts you to key level touches in real-time
✅ Shows historical context with POC extensions
✅ Displays live statistics for market conviction
This transforms Volume Profile from a historical volume chart into a strategic positioning map showing institutional dominance and trapped participants.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📖 HOW TO INTEGRATE WITH YOUR STRATEGY
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
✅ PROPER USES:
- Entry refinement within your existing setups
- Intelligent stop placement beyond institutional levels
- Objective profit targets at next confluence zones
- Trade filtering (only take setups at ★4+ zones)
- Understanding market positioning before entry
- Alert-based monitoring of key support/resistance levels
❌ WHAT IT CANNOT DO:
- Predict direction with certainty
- Replace risk management
- Account for news/external events
- Guarantee profitability
- Work in all market conditions
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📚 DEVELOPMENT PATH (12-16 Weeks)
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Weeks 1-2: Observation Only
- Watch price behavior at key levels
- Document patterns without trading
- Set up alerts and observe responses
Weeks 3-8: Paper Trading
- Simulate trades, track all metrics
- Minimum 100 paper trades
- Test different confluence thresholds
Weeks 9-16: Small Size Testing
- Minimal capital, real market conditions
- Continue tracking, refine rules
- Adjust alert sensitivity based on results
After Proven Edge you could potentially include it in your set-up
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚠️ CRITICAL DISCLAIMERS
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚠️ Past volume ≠ Future price action
⚠️ Institutional positions change rapidly - these are static snapshots
⚠️ No indicator works 100% - risk management is mandatory
⚠️ Market conditions change - adapt your approach
⚠️ Backtest with YOUR style, YOUR timeframe, YOUR risk tolerance
⚠️ Alerts are notifications, not trade signals - you decide the action
The indicator reveals WHERE institutions are positioned and HOW they might behave. YOU decide IF, WHEN, and HOW to trade that information.

Student Wyckoff Effort Result Time **STUDENT WYCKOFF Effort vs Result**
This tool measures how *hard* the market is working on every bar and compares the current effort with the previous one. It is built in the spirit of Wyckoff: first we look at the effort (volume), then at the result (price progress), and only after that compare them.
---
### Calculation (logic in simple terms)
For each bar the script:
1. Takes an **ERT window (N bars)** – by default 2 bars:
* **Effort (E)** = sum of volume over the last N bars.
* **Time (T)** = number of bars in the window = N.
* **Result (R)** = absolute % price change from the first bar in the window to the last bar.
2. Computes **ERT** as the “effort per unit of result”:
* More volume and smaller price move → higher ERT (movement is heavy).
* Less volume and bigger price move → lower ERT (movement is easy).
3. Plots a **histogram of ΔERT** – the difference between the current ERT and the previous ERT:
* **Red bar above 0** – current ERT > previous ERT →
*the last N bars were heavier than the previous N bars*.
* **Teal bar below 0** – current ERT < previous ERT →
*the last N bars were easier than the previous N bars*.
4. Optional **normalization window** rescales ΔERT over the last M bars, so extreme spikes do not destroy the readability of the whole histogram. It does not change the logic, only the visual scale.
---
### How to use
* Look for **clusters of high red bars** – segments where price needs noticeably more effort than before to make progress. On up-moves this often appears before slowing, churning or topping; on down-moves it often appears near potential stopping zones.
* Look for **deep teal bars** – segments where price moves easier than before. On rallies this can confirm a strong trend; on declines it can confirm strong selling pressure.
* Divergences between price and the pattern of heavy/light ΔERT can highlight zones where the balance between effort and result is shifting.
Inputs:
* **ERT window (bars)** – how many bars are used to measure effort and result (N).
* **Normalize ΔERT for readability** – on/off for visual normalization.
* **Normalization window (bars)** – how many last bars are used to adapt the scale.
* Colors for “current ERT heavier than previous” and “current ERT lighter than previous”.
Volume Analysis🙏🏻 (signed) Volume Analysis is 2 of 2 structural layer / ordeflow analysis scripts, while the first one is Liquidity Analysis. Both are independent so can’t be released together as a single script, but should be used together.
The same math used in this script can be applied to other types of aggressive volume data: non-aggregated flow of market orders, volume traded of put vs call options.
There’s no universal agreement about terminology, but this script works with volumes signed by the aggressor who initiated a transaction. Then these volumes get aggregated by time and a cumulative sum is calculated. Mostly this is widely known as Cumulative Volume Delta.
However this script works with 'inferred' volumes vs the provided ones. It’s the better choice for equities, bonds; neutral choice for currencies; and suboptimal choice for natural and artificial commodities.

Output description;
How to analyze & use the outputs;
How to use it together with Liquidity Analysis script;
How did I use both scripts to finish The Leap profitably and skipped many losses.
1. Output description
Color of the CVD line reflects (signed) volume imbalance state: red is negative, purple is neutral, blue is positive.
3 purple lines are lower deviation (lower band), basis (middle band), upper deviation (upper band): used to generate signals by a ruleset that would be explained in a minute
Gray number in the script’s status line is the advised input you may put into Inferred volume multiplier in script’s setting, I will explain it
Vertical dash line marks the moving window end, this way you can be certain over what exact data you see the profile was built.
2. How to analyze & use the outputs
Setup up the script:
Moving window length: set it to ~ ¼ of your data analysis window. E.g if you see on your charts and use ~ 256 bars, set the length to 64.
Inferred volume multiplier: you can easily leave it 256, this is not a critical factor for the math, it’s mostly there if you want to ~ equate inferred volumes with real ones in scale. For this, use the gray number in the script status line, it’s calculated as ratio of long term real volumes weighted avg to long term inferred volumes weighted avg.
Again, changing the inferred volume multiplier won’t affect the math.
Use 2 timeframes: main one and a far lower one 3 steps down, just like on the screenshot.
Find out current volume imbalance state:
As mentioned before, based on CVD line color, it can be negative, neutral or positive. This is the state variable that changes slowly and denies/confirms the signals generated by crossovers of CVD line and 3 purple thresholds.
For this I use my own very fast and lightweight metric that is totally statistically grounded, utilizes temporal information, and calculates volume imbalance without using heavy math like regressions as it’s usually done. It also provides a natural neutral zone, when volume imbalance is not strong enough to be confirmed.
...
CVD-based signals:
First you need to understand what precisely a touch of a threshold is:
Touch: an event when either of these 2 happens:
One CVD datapoint is above the threshold, and the next CVD datapoint is below the threshold
One CVD datapoint is below the threshold, and the next CVD datapoint is above the threshold
These are usually called crossovers/crossunders.
Now with the 3 purple thresholds we follow this logic:
Monitor the last touched threshold;
Once another threshold is touched, here we may generate a signal but only once !, after the first generated signal at that threshold we can’t generate more signals on this threshold, we need to wait when CVD comes to another threshold.
If CVD touches one threshold, and then goes down and touches another threshold downwards, we wait when CVD makes a datapoint above this threshold. When it happens, we register a long signal
If CVD touches one threshold, and then goes up and touches another threshold upwards, we wait when CVD makes a datapoint below this threshold. When it happens, we register a short signal
However, don’t open new trades against the current volume imbalance state. So don’t open shorts when the CDV line is blue, and don’t open longs when CVD line is red.
Btw, this technique I call it “reclaim” of a level/threshold. It can be applied to horizontal levels, and it’s very powerful especially when you fade levels on very volatility assets like BTC. This technique allows you to Not fade a level straight away, but wait when price goes past the level a bit, and then comes back and reclaims it, only there you enter, and moreover you now have a very well defined risk point.
The last part is multi-timeframe logic. Prefer to act when a lower timeframe is Not against the main timeframe. That’s all, no multiple higher timeframes are needed.
3. How to use it together with Liquidity Analysis script.
That script also has a mean to generate its own signals, and another state variable called Liquidity Imbalance.
So now you’re not only looking at volume imbalance but also at liquidity imbalance that would deny/confirm the CVD based signal. You need at least one of these two to favor your long or short.
This is the same logic widely used in HFT, where MM bots cancel/shift/resize orders when book is too onesided And ordeflow is one sided as well.
4. How did I use both scripts to finish The Leap profitably and skipped many losses.
Even tho you can use structural information as your main strategic layer, as many so-called orderflow traders do, I traded in objective style: my fade signals were volatility based in essence, and I used ordeflow for better entries and stops, but most importantly to skip losses.
When ‘both‘ liquidity imbalance and volume imbalance (in their main timeframes) were against my trades, I skipped them all, saving many ~$500 stop losses (that was my basis risk unit for the Leap). Unless I had a very strong objective signal, i.e. confluence of several signals, or just one higher timeframe signal, I did all these skips.
I traded ~ intraweek timeframe, so I was analyzing either the last 230 30min bars or 1380 5min bars. Both Liquidity Analysis and (signed) Volume Analysis scripts were set to moving window length 46 or 276 for either granularity.
I finished the leap with 9% profit and max DD ~ 5%, a bit short of my goal of 12.5%. If not these 2 scripts I would’ve finished a bit above breakeven I think.
,,,
Another thing, I made these 2 scripts invite-only because they are made particularly for trading, particularly for certain types of market data. These are tools adapted for particular use case, not like my other posts with general math entities like Kernel Density Estimation or Kalman filter, that you can take and apply properly on any data you need yourself.
However these are made from general math entities like everything else. ‘All’ the components are available in my other scripts, ideas, and other sources related to me. If you want to reverse-engineer these, you can find all the components you need in my already posted open source work.

Market Structure Pivots with BOS & CHoCH [zazenio]What is Market Structure?
Market structure is simply the pattern of highs and lows that price creates as it moves. When you look at any chart, you'll notice price doesn't move in a straight line — it swings up, pulls back, swings up again (in an uptrend), or the opposite in a downtrend.
These swing points — the peaks and valleys — are what traders call pivots . Identifying them correctly is the foundation of understanding where a market has been and where it might go next.
What This Indicator Does
Swing Pivots automatically marks these peaks and valleys on your chart so you don't have to draw them manually. It works on any market — stocks, crypto, forex, futures, indices — and on any timeframe.
Beyond just marking pivots, this indicator also draws BOS (Break of Structure) and CHoCH (Change of Character) lines — two essential concepts that help you understand when a trend is continuing or potentially reversing.
How Pivots Are Detected
This indicator confirms pivots based on price structure, not a fixed bar count.
Here's how it works:
A swing high is confirmed when price breaks below the previous swing low. At that moment, we know the high was real — price tried to go higher, failed, and reversed. The market "proved" that level was a genuine turning point.
A swing low is confirmed when price breaks above the previous swing high. The same logic applies — price tried to go lower, failed, and reversed direction.
This creates a natural alternation: high, low, high, low. Each pivot is validated by the market's actual behavior, not by waiting for an arbitrary number of bars to pass.
Understanding BOS and CHoCH
Once you can identify pivots, the next step is understanding what happens when price breaks through them. This is where BOS and CHoCH come in.
BOS (Break of Structure)
A Break of Structure occurs when price continues in the direction of the current trend by breaking a previous pivot level.
In an uptrend : Price breaks above a previous swing high → This signals strength. Buyers are pushing price to new highs, and the trend is likely to continue.
In a downtrend : Price breaks below a previous swing low → This signals weakness. Sellers are pushing price to new lows, and the trend is likely to continue.
Think of BOS as the market saying "the trend is still intact." Each BOS confirms that the dominant side (buyers or sellers) remains in control.
CHoCH (Change of Character)
A Change of Character occurs when price breaks a pivot level in the opposite direction of the current trend. This is an early warning signal that the trend may be reversing.
In an uptrend : Price breaks below a previous swing low → This is unexpected. In a healthy uptrend, lows should hold. When they don't, it suggests buyers are losing control and sellers may be taking over.
In a downtrend : Price breaks above a previous swing high → This is unexpected. In a healthy downtrend, highs should hold. When they don't, it suggests sellers are losing control and buyers may be stepping in.
Think of CHoCH as the market's behavior "changing character" — it's no longer acting the way it should if the trend were healthy.
Why BOS and CHoCH Matter
These concepts give you a framework for reading what the market is actually doing:
BOS tells you the trend is continuing — stay with it or look for entries in that direction
CHoCH warns you the trend may be ending — time to be cautious, take profits, or look for trades in the new direction
By visualizing these breaks directly on your chart, you don't have to guess. You can see at a glance whether the market is trending smoothly (consecutive BOS) or showing signs of reversal (CHoCH).
Why This Approach Works
Most pivot indicators use a "lookback" method — they wait for a certain number of bars (say, 5 or 10) on each side of a candle before confirming it as a pivot. This creates a fixed delay. By the time the pivot appears on your chart, price has already moved on.
This indicator doesn't wait. It confirms pivots the moment price structure proves them. The result is pivots that align with how traders actually read charts — based on breaks of structure, not arbitrary countdowns.
