VPSA-VTDDear Sir/Madam,
I am pleased to present the next iteration of my indicator concept, which, in my opinion, serves as a highly useful tool for analyzing markets using the Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) method or the Wyckoff methodology.
The VPSA (Volume-Price Spread Analysis), the latest version in the family of scripts I’ve developed, appears to perform its task effectively. The combination of visualizing normalized data alongside their significance, achieved through the application of Z-Score standardization, proved to be a sound solution. Therefore, I decided to take it a step further and expand my project with a complementary approach to the existing one.
Theory
At the outset, I want to acknowledge that I’m aware of the existence of other probabilistic models used in financial markets, which may describe these phenomena more accurately. However, in line with Occam's Razor, I aimed to maintain simplicity in the analysis and interpretation of the concepts below. For this reason, I focused on describing the data using the Gaussian distribution.
The data I read from the chart — primarily the closing price, the high-low price difference (spread), and volume — exhibit cyclical patterns. These cycles are described by Wyckoff's methodology, while VSA complements and presents them from a different perspective. I will refrain from explaining these methods in depth due to their complexity and broad scope. What matters is that within these cycles, various events occur, described by candles or bars in distinct ways, characterized by different spreads and volumes. When observing the chart, I notice periods of lower volatility, often accompanied by lower volumes, as well as periods of high volatility and significant volumes. It’s important to find harmony within this apparent chaos. I think that chart interpretation cannot happen without considering the broader context, but the more variables I include in the analytical process, the more challenges arise. For instance, how can I determine if something is large (wide) or small (narrow)? For elements like volume or spread, my script provides a partial answer to this question. Now, let’s get to the point.
Technical Overview
The first technique I applied is Min-Max Normalization. With its help, the script adjusts volume and spread values to a range between 0 and 1. This allows for a comparable bar chart, where a wide bar represents volume, and a narrow one represents spread. Without normalization, visually comparing values that differ by several orders of magnitude would be inconvenient. If the indicator shows that one bar has a unit spread value while another has half that value, it means the first bar is twice as large. The ratio is preserved.
The second technique I used is Z-Score Standardization. This concept is based on the normal distribution, characterized by variables such as the mean and standard deviation, which measures data dispersion around the mean. The Z-Score indicates how many standard deviations a given value deviates from the population mean. The higher the Z-Score, the more the examined object deviates from the mean. If an object has a Z-Score of 3, it falls within 0.1% of the population, making it a rare occurrence or even an anomaly. In the context of chart analysis, such strong deviations are events like climaxes, which often signal the end of a trend, though not always. In my script, I assigned specific colors to frequently occurring Z-Score values:
Below 1 – Blue
Above 1 – Green
Above 2 – Red
Above 3 – Fuchsia
These colors are applied to both spread and volume, allowing for quick visual interpretation of data.
Volume Trend Detector (VTD)
The above forms the foundation of VPSA. However, I have extended the script with a Volume Trend Detector (VTD). The idea is that when I consider market structure - by market structure, I mean the overall chart, support and resistance levels, candles, and patterns typical of spread and volume analysis as well as Wyckoff patterns - I look for price ranges where there is a lack of supply, demand, or clues left behind by Smart Money or the market's enigmatic identity known as the Composite Man. This is essential because, as these clues and behaviors of market participants — expressed through the chart’s dynamics - reflect the actions, decisions, and emotions of all players. These behaviors can help interpret the bull-bear battle and estimate the probability of their next moves, which is one of the key factors for a trader relying on technical analysis to make a trade decision.
I enhanced the script with a Volume Trend Detector, which operates in two modes:
Step-by-Step Logic
The detector identifies expected volume dynamics. For instance, when looking for signs of a lack of bullish interest, I focus on setups with decreasing volatility and volume, particularly for bullish candles. These setups are referred to as No Demand patterns, according to Tom Williams' methodology.
Simple Moving Average (SMA)
The detector can also operate based on a simple moving average, helping to identify systematic trends in declining volume, indicating potential imbalances in market forces.
I’ve designed the program to allow the selection of candle types and volume characteristics to which the script will pay particular attention and notify me of specific market conditions.
Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages:
Unified visualization of normalized spread and volume, saving time and improving efficiency.
The use of Z-Score as a consistent and repeatable relative mechanism for marking examined values.
The use of colors in visualization as a reference to Z-Score values.
The possibility to set up a continuous alert system that monitors the market in real time.
The use of EMA (Exponential Moving Average) as a moving average for Z-Score.
The goal of these features is to save my time, which is the only truly invaluable resource.
Disadvantages:
The assumption that the data follows a normal distribution, which may lead to inaccurate interpretations.
A fixed analysis period, which may not be perfectly suited to changing market conditions.
The use of EMA as a moving average for Z-Score, listed both as an advantage and a disadvantage depending on market context.
I have included comments within the code to explain the logic behind each part. For those who seek detailed mathematical formulas, I invite you to explore the code itself.
Defining Program Parameters:
Numerical Conditions:
VPSA Period for Analysis – The number of candles analyzed.
Normalized Spread Alert Threshold – The expected normalized spread value; defines how large or small the spread should be, with a range of 0-1.00.
Normalized Volume Alert Threshold – The expected normalized volume value; defines how large or small the volume should be, with a range of 0-1.00.
Spread Z-SCORE Alert Threshold – The Z-SCORE value for the spread; determines how much the spread deviates from the average, with a range of 0-4 (a higher value can be entered, but from a logical standpoint, exceeding 4 is unnecessary).
Volume Z-SCORE Alert Threshold – The Z-SCORE value for volume; determines how much the volume deviates from the average, with a range of 0-4 (the same logical note as above applies).
Logical Conditions:
Logical conditions describe whether the expected value should be less than or equal to or greater than or equal to the numerical condition.
All four parameters accept two possibilities and are analogous to the numerical conditions.
Volume Trend Detector:
Volume Trend Detector Period for Analysis – The analysis period, indicating the number of candles examined.
Method of Trend Determination – The method used to determine the trend. Possible values: Step by Step or SMA.
Trend Direction – The expected trend direction. Possible values: Upward or Downward.
Candle Type – The type of candle taken into account. Possible values: Bullish, Bearish, or Any.
The last available setting is the option to enable a joint alert for VPSA and VTD.
When enabled, VPSA will trigger on the last closed candle, regardless of the VTD analysis period.
Example Use Cases (Labels Visible in the Script Window Indicate Triggered Alerts):
The provided labels in the chart window mark where specific conditions were met and alerts were triggered.
Summary and Reflections
The program I present is a strong tool in the ongoing "game" with the Composite Man.
However, it requires familiarity and understanding of the underlying methodologies to fully utilize its potential.
Of course, like any technical analysis tool, it is not without flaws. There is no indicator that serves as a perfect Grail, accurately signaling Buy or Sell in every case.
I would like to thank those who have read through my thoughts to the end and are willing to take a closer look at my work by using this script.
If you encounter any errors or have suggestions for improvement, please feel free to contact me.
I wish you good health and accurately interpreted market structures, leading to successful trades!

Auto Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) [TANHEF]Auto Volume Spread Analysis (visible volume and spread bars auto-scaled): Understanding Market Intentions through the Interpretation of Volume and Price Movements.
All the sections below contain the same descriptions as my other indicator "Volume Spread Analysis" with the exception of 'Auto Scaling'.
█ Auto-Scaling
This indicator auto-scales spread bars to match the visible volume bars, unlike the previous "Volume Spread Analysis " version which limited the number of visible spread bars to a fixed count. The auto-scaling feature allows for easier navigation through historical data, enabling both more historical spread bars to be viewed and more historical VSA pattern labels being displayed without requiring using the bar replay tool. Please note that this indicator’s auto-scaling feature recalculates the visible bars on the chart, causing the indicator to reload whenever the chart is moved.
Auto-scaled spread bars have two display options (set via 'Spread Bars Method' setting):
Lines: a bar lookback limit of 500 bars.
Polylines: no bar lookback limit as only plotted on visible bars on chart, which uses multiple polylines are used.
█ Simple Explanation:
The Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) indicator is a comprehensive tool that helps traders identify key market patterns and trends based on volume and spread data. This indicator highlights significant VSA patterns and provides insights into market behavior through color-coded volume/spread bars and identification of bars indicating strength, weakness, and neutrality between buyers and sellers. It also includes powerful volume and spread forecasting capabilities.
█ Laws of Volume Spread Analysis (VSA):
The origin of VSA begins with Richard Wyckoff, a pivotal figure in its development. Wyckoff made significant contributions to trading theory, including the formulation of three basic laws:
The Law of Supply and Demand: This fundamental law states that supply and demand balance each other over time. High demand and low supply lead to rising prices until demand falls to a level where supply can meet it. Conversely, low demand and high supply cause prices to fall until demand increases enough to absorb the excess supply.
The Law of Cause and Effect: This law assumes that a 'cause' will result in an 'effect' proportional to the 'cause'. A strong 'cause' will lead to a strong trend (effect), while a weak 'cause' will lead to a weak trend.
The Law of Effort vs. Result: This law asserts that the result should reflect the effort exerted. In trading terms, a large volume should result in a significant price move (spread). If the spread is small, the volume should also be small. Any deviation from this pattern is considered an anomaly.
█ Volume and Spread Analysis Bars:
Display: Volume and spread bars that consist of color coded levels, with the spread bars scaled to match the volume bars. A displayable table (Legend) of bar colors and levels can give context and clarify to each volume/spread bar.
Calculation: Levels are calculated using multipliers applied to moving averages to represent key levels based on historical data: low, normal, high, ultra. This method smooths out short-term fluctuations and focuses on longer-term trends.
Low Level: Indicates reduced volatility and market interest.
Normal Level: Reflects typical market activity and volatility.
High Level: Indicates increased activity and volatility.
Ultra Level: Identifies extreme levels of activity and volatility.
This illustrates the appearance of Volume and Spread bars when scaled and plotted together:
█ Forecasting Capabilities:
Display: Forecasted volume and spread levels using predictive models.
Calculation: Volume and Spread prediction calculations differ as volume is linear and spread is non-linear.
Volume Forecast (Linear Forecasting): Predicts future volume based on current volume rate and bar time till close.
Spread Forecast (Non-Linear Dynamic Forecasting): Predicts future spread using a dynamic multiplier, less near midpoint (consolidation) and more near low or high (trending), reflecting non-linear expansion.
Moving Averages: In forecasting, moving averages utilize forecasted levels instead of actual levels to ensure the correct level is forecasted (low, normal, high, or ultra).
The following compares forecasted volume with actual resulting volume, highlighting the power of early identifying increased volume through forecasted levels:
█ VSA Patterns:
Criteria and descriptions for each VSA pattern are available as tooltips beside them within the indicator’s settings. These tooltips provide explanations of potential developments based on the volume and spread data.

█ Volume and Spread Analysis Bars:
Display: Volume and/or spread bars that consist of color coded levels. If both of these are displayed, the number of spread bars can be limited for visual appeal and understanding, with the spread bars scaled to match the volume bars. While automatic calculation of the number of visual bars for auto scaling is possible, it is avoided to prevent the indicator from reloading whenever the number of visual price bars on the chart is adjusted, ensuring uninterrupted analysis. A displayable table (Legend) of bar colors and levels can give context and clarify to each volume/spread bar.
Calculation: Levels are calculated using multipliers applied to moving averages to represent key levels based on historical data: low, normal, high, ultra. This method smooths out short-term fluctuations and focuses on longer-term trends.

Numbers RenkoRenko with Volume and Time in the box was developed by David Weis (Authority on Wyckoff method) and his student.
I like this style (I don't know what it is officially called) because it brings out the potential of Wyckoff method and Renko, and looks beautiful.
I can't find this style Indicator anywhere, so I made something like it, then I named "Numbers Renko" (数字 練行足 in Japanese).
Caution : This indicator only works exactly in Renko Chart.
////////// Numbers Renko General Settings //////////
Volume Divisor : To make good looking Volume Number.
ex) You set 100. When Volume is 0.056, 0.05 x 100 = 5.6. 6 is plotted in the box (Decimal are round off).
Show Only Large Renko Volume : show only Renko Volume which is larger than Average Renko Volume (it is calculated by user selected moving average, option below).
Show Renko Time : "Only Large Renko Time" show only Renko Time which is larger than Average Renko Time (it is calculated by user selected moving average, option below).
EMA period for calculation : This is used to calculate Average Renko Time and Average Renko Volume (These are used to decide Numbers colors and Candles colors). Default is EMA, You can choice SMA.
////////// Numbers Renko Coloring //////////
The Numbers in the box are color coded by compared the current Renko Volume with the Average Renko Volume.
If the current Renko Volume is 2 times larger than the ARV, Color2 will be used. If the current Renko Volume is 1.5 times larger than the ARV, Color1.5 will be used. Color1 If the current Renko Volume is larger than the ARV . Color0.5 is larger than half Athe RV and Color0 is less than or equal to half the ARV. Color1, Color1.5 and Color2 are Large Value, so only these colored Numbers are showed when use "Show Only ~ " option.
Default is Renko Volume based Color coding, You can choice Renko Time based Color coding. Therefore you can use two type coloring at the same time. ex) The Numbers Colors are Renko Volume based. Candle body, border and wick Colors are Renko Time based.
////////// Weis Wave Volume //////////
Show Effort vs Result : Weis Wave Volume divided by Wave Length.
ex) If 100 Up WWV is accumulated between 30 Up Renko Box, 100 / 30 = 3.33... will be 3.3 (Second decimal will be rounded off).
No Result Ratio : If current "Effort vs Result" is "No Result Ratio" times larger than Average Effort vs Result, Square Mark will be show. AEvsR is calculated by 5SMA.
ex) You set 1.5. If Current EvsR is 20 and AEvsR is 10, 20 > 10 x 1.5 then Square Mark will be show.
If the left and right arrows are in the same direction, the right arrow is omitted.
Show Comparison Marks : Show left side arrow by compare current value to previous previous value and show right side small arrow by compare current value to previous value.
ex) Current Up WWV is 17 and Previous Up WWV (previous previous value) is 12, left side arrow is Up. Previous Dn WWV is 20, right side small arrow is Dn.
Large Volume Ratio : If current WWV is "Large Volume Ratio" times larger than Average WWV, Large WWV color is used.

SMA Period: Period for the Simple Moving Average (default: 14).
Notes
The indicator works on any timeframe but requires accurate ticker input for the second instrument.
Ensure data for both instruments is available on the selected timeframe for precise analysis.
VPSA - Volume Price Spread AnalysisDear Analysts and Traders,
I am pleased to present the latest version of my indicator, based on the logic of analyzing spread and volume. In this version, the indicator examines spread and volume using min-max normalization. The statistical value is captured through Z-Score standardization, and I have added configurable alerts based on the normalized values of spread, volume, and the sigmas for these variables.
Theory and Evolution of the Indicator
The normalization function used in this program allows for the comparison of two values with different ranges on a single chart. The values that reach the highest within the examined range are assigned a value of one. As in previous versions, I have adopted a bar chart where the wider bar represents volume and the narrower bar represents spread. I believe that using normalization is the most intuitive approach, as the standardization in the earlier sVPSA version could cause confusion. This was due to smaller bars for higher actual values and negative bars, which required additional reliance on actual volume data and significant proficiency in using the indicator. These were limitations stemming from the computational aspect of these issues. As in the previously mentioned script, I also used Z-Score standardization here, which serves as a measure of deviation from the mean. This is visualized in the script as the color of the bars, which in the default configuration are as follows: below one sigma - blue; above one sigma up to two sigmas - green; above two sigmas up to three sigmas - red; and above three sigmas - fuchsia. Additionally, I applied an exponential moving average in this indicator to minimize the influence of older candles on the mean. The indicator has been enhanced with configurable alerts, allowing for substantial control over the conditions triggering them. The alerts enable the definition of normalized variable values and sigma values. Furthermore, the program allows for the definition of logical dependencies for these conditions.
Summary
The program I have developed is a synthesis of the most important and useful functions from the indicators I previously created. The indicator is a standalone and powerful tool that facilitates effective analysis of the spread-volume relationship, which is one of the fundamental methods of analysis according to the Wyckoff and VSA methodologies. The alerts introduced in this version provide extensive possibilities for controlling the dynamics of any market.
Should you encounter any errors or have suggestions regarding the indicator, please feel free to contact me.
I wish you successful analyses! All the best!

Master Pattern [LuxAlgo]The Master Pattern indicator is derived from the framework proposed by Wyckoff and automatically displays major/minor patterns and their associated expansion lines on the chart.
Liquidity levels are also included and can be used as targets/stops. Note that the Liquidity levels are plotted retrospectively as they are based on pivots.
🔶 USAGE
The Master Pattern indicator detects contraction phases in the markets (characterized by a lower high and higher low). The resulting average from the latest swing high/low is used as expansion line. Price breaking the contraction range upwards highlights a bullish master pattern, while a break downward highlights a bearish master pattern.
During the expansion phase price can tend to be stationary around the expansion level. This phase is then often followed by the price significantly deviating from the expansion line, highlighting a markup phase.
Expansion lines can also be used as support/resistance levels.
🔹 Major/Minor Patterns
The script can classify patterns as major or minor patterns.
Major patterns occur when price breaks both the upper and lower extremity of a contraction range, with their contraction area highlighted with a border, while minor patterns have only a single extremity broken.
🔶 SETTINGS
Contraction Detection Lookback: Lookback used to detect the swing points used to detect the contraction range.
Liquidity Levels: Lookback for the swing points detection used as liquidity levels. Higher values return longer term liquidity levels.
Show Major Pattern: Display major patterns.
Show Minor Pattern: Display minor patterns.
Function Square WaveThis is a script to draw a square wave on the chart, with an indicator for current price.
Markets undergoing Dow Jones or Wyckoff Accumulation/Distribution cycles tend to move in such waves, and if the period of the cycles are detected, a signal for accumulation/distribution phases can be created as an early warning.
Useful inputs:
- Average True Range as the wave height.
- Assumed Wave period as the wave duration.
I divided the current price wave by 2 to make the indicator more visually friendly.

Phoenix Ascending 2.201Hi Everyone!
It's time to make this indicator public to relieve myself of replying to requests for access. There has been an update to this indicator; in which a Stochastic RSI was added to this indicator. Please follow the directions to SETUP the indicator in the SETUP VIDEO provided below.
Phoenix Ascending 2.201 and Bollinger Bands Setup Video.
The following are BASIC rules for the Phoenix 2.201 Indicator. More advanced rules and the requirements for those rules can be found in my publications in my public profile. Unfortunately, I do not have organized videos created on how to use this indicator in full but will be available in the future.
IMPORTANT: The BASIC rules below are beneficial but these are NOT all the rules. More rules and requirements for those rules will be available in the future.
RULE NO. 1
We PREFER the Blue LSMA to be at 80% or higher for SAFE EXIT (SHORT) bets.
We PREFER the Blue LSMA to be at 20% or lower for SAFE ENTRY (LONG) bets.
Rule No. 2
ANY time the red line is approaching a green line that’s moving UPWARD,
Be prepared to make an ENTRY (LONG) when the red line is about to touch the green line that’s moving upward.
One can look at a lower time frame to get a better idea of how much longer you may have
To wait for the red line to touch the green line. In many cases, you may make ENTRY (LONG)
Just before the red line actually touches the green line that’s moving up in that higher time frame
You were initially using as your COMPASS. I currently have the 1-Month TF as a compass for EURUSD.
Rule No. 3
ANY time the red line is approaching a green line that’s moving DOWNWARD,
Be prepared to make an EXIT (SHORT) when the red line is about to touch the green line that’s moving downward.
One can look at a lower time frame to get a better idea of how much longer you may have
To wait for the red line to touch the green line. In many cases, you may make your EXIT (SHORT)
Just before the red line actually touches the green line that’s moving downward in that higher time frame
You were initially using as your COMPASS. I currently have the 1-Month TF as a compass for EURUSD.
Rule No. 4
The Green Line and/or Ghost Line can often help one determine when an upward or downward move in a particular time frame
Is nearly exhausted and about to reverse.
Example for Upside Exhaustion about to reverse to the Downside:
When the Green Line and/or Ghost line is at 80% level or higher, this is a good indicator to inform
Us the current upside move may be approaching exhaustion. You can look at a higher time frame to try to gain
More insight as to whether this will only be a brief dip down in the lower time frame IF the higher time frame you
Went to reveals there is a lot more room remaining for the Green and/or Ghost Lines to reach the 80% or higher level.
Example for Downside Exhaustion about to reverse to the Upside:
When the Green Line and/or Ghost line is at 20% level or lower, this is a good indicator to inform
Us the current downside move may be approaching exhaustion. You can look at a higher time frame to try to gain
More insight as to whether this will only be a brief dip up in the lower time frame IF the higher time frame you
Went to reveals there is a lot more room remaining for the Green and/or Ghost Lines to reach the 20% or lower level.
Rule No. 5
The same rules you see in Rule No. 4 also apply to the Stochastic RSI. Keep in mind I changed the colors of the
Stochastic RSI to the following: Red default changed to Purple and Blue changed changed to Black to avoid confusing
Them with the lines in Godmode.
When the Stochastic RSI is at 80% or higher level, we need to be on guard for a reversal to the downside.
When the Stochastic RSI is at 20% or lower level, we need to be on guard for a reversal to the upside.
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to apply these rules in GROUPS OF TIME FRAMES.

BTC Composite Man V.1Wyckoff's theory t is one of the most influential theories of market expression, and the most important components of which are lateral movement areas and trends. This theory turns the graph into something like Dots and lines (stations and paths).
After getting acquainted with Wyckoff's theory, I read several books on the subject, hoping that they could help me identify this area of lateral movement, the area of accumulation, or distribution. But there was a fundamental drawback. It is challenging to diagnose this issue. The rules discussed in these books are highly interpretive and subjective, and two different individual traders may come to exactly opposite conclusions based on their interpretation.
But as I became more familiar with the onchain analysis, an idea came to my mind that might be useful for more objectively recognizing charts based on Wyckoff's theory.
Composite Man: Wyckoff proposed a theory to help understand stock price movements. this is the “Composite Man” theory. (The same concept of whales or strong hands.)
he said: “…all the fluctuations in the market and all the various stocks should be studied as if they were the result of one man’s operations. Let us call him the Composite Man, who, in theory, sits behind the scenes and manipulates the stocks to your disadvantage if you do not understand the game as he plays it; and to your great profit if you do understand it.” (The Richard D. Wyckoff Course in Stock Market Science and Technique, section 9, p. 1-2)
Composite Man is a hypothetical man who has so much money and stocks that when he wants he can gradually increase the price by buying stocks and creating demand, and when the price goes high enough he sells his stock and lower the price. The composite man is the main player in the market. Wyckoff says that if you want to make a good profit from the market, figure out what a composite man game is.
Having a way of showing us where the Composite Man is in the market, can help us understand future trends
Who are the strong hands in the cryptocurrency market? (I use the strong hand word here instead of the composite man)
Some buy or sell more per capita than other market participants (retailers).
To understand this in the bitcoin market, I have used 3 charts and concepts:
1- Sending Addresses: The number of coins addresses making inflow transactions to the exchange.
Indicates the number of sellers' wallets (number of sellers)
2- buyers Addresses: The number of coins addresses making outflow transactions from the exchange.
Indicates the number of buyers' wallets (number of buyers)
3- Pay attention to this issue: the volume of transactions shows both the volume of sales and the buy ( Volume of buy and sale is equal in the market)
The Composite Man indicator is created by dividing the Receiving Addresses of bitcoin by the Sending Addresses. After dividing these addresses, the moving average of Alma was calculated for them and compared with the moving average of 100 days.
Considering the above 3 issues, it can be concluded:
- If the number of Receiving Addresses is higher than the Sending Addresses (the number of people who bought compared to the number of those who sold), it indicates that more people bought and fewer people sold (given that the volume of sales and buys are the same) So the sellers were stronger hands. In such a situation, the composite man is on the sales side.
- If the number of Sending Addresses is higher than the Receiving Addresses (number of people who have sold more than the number of people who have bought), it indicates that more people have been sellers and fewer people have been buyers (given that the volume of sales and buys are the same) so the buyers were stronger hands. In such a situation, the Composite man is on the buying side.
Accordingly, if the swing line is above the 100-day moving average line, it indicates that stronger addresses are being sold and retailers are buying, and vice versa.
Wyckoff Entry Times @jqrmThis indicator visually marks two custom time zones on your TradingView chart by drawing vertical lines at the start and end of each zone. The first time zone spans from 9:27 AM to 9:33 AM, highlighted in red, and the second spans from 9:50 AM to 10:10 AM, highlighted in blue. You can enable or disable each zone's lines using the indicator inputs. This helps to quickly spot important intraday sessions or time ranges on your chart.

Useful to know if Asset is outperforming market in relative strength
Keltner Center Of Gravity Channel ( KeltCOG )I have the ambition to create a ‘landscape’ which enables the user to see the ‘mood’ of the market about the price of an instrument, simply by looking where the candles go. Prices are a simple phenomenon , they go up or down or stay the same. This is represented quite well for the short term by a candle. I recommend to study candle patterns. Prices not only fluctuate but also trend up, down or go sideways. The user should analyze this by determining the COG (Center Of Gravity) and the ‘normal’ current range by using the historical data in a lookback period.
As a COG the center line of a Donchian Channel is often used. I.m.o. a COG should be a zone, in this channel I use the gray zone of my Donchian Fibonacci Channel, The ‘normal’ range is a multiple of Average True Range, as used in a Keltner Channel. Combining the two can give a cumbersome result, as one can see in my Keltner Fibonacci Channel. In this KeltCOG channel I solved this by not using all Fibonacci levels and by making the Keltner lines strictly parallel to the nearest COG line. To do this, I use the fact that the COG lines have horizontal stretches, there I make the Keltner lines horizontal too. Only where the COG lines change value, the Keltner lines are recalculated. This way the channel gets a very regular shape with three clear zones.
Interpretation of a chart by using the KeltCOG channel.
Overbought: If the candles go higher then the blue zone, the market is hyper enthusiast, creating an overbought situation. This is often followed by a reversion to the COG.
Uptrend: If the candles form in the blue zone, the market is enthusiast and willing to pay more.
Hopeful: If the candles form in or near the upper uncolored zone, the market is hopeful and is thinking about paying more. Sometimes prices go a little up.
Content: If the candles form in the gray zone, which represents COG, the market is happy with the current prices, so these move sideways
Disappointed: If the candles form in or near the lower uncolored zone, the market is disappointed and contemplates paying less, sometimes prices go a little down.
Downtrend: If the candles form in red zone, the market doesn’t like the instrument at all, rejects the current price and is only prepared to pay less.
Oversold: If the candles form below the red zone, the market overdoes its disgust, creating an oversold situation, often followed by a reversion to the COG.
efficiency of bulls and bears for VSA(Google translation from Russian.)
This indicator shows the effectiveness of selling or buying.
It is calculated as follows: using percentrank, the volume and the value of the spread are estimated (momentum = 1)
the resulting estimate of the volume value is divided by the estimate of the spread (momentum = 1) and thus we obtain the value. The larger it is, the more efficient and easier the price movement was.
If the indicator value is small, then this means that the movement was ineffective, because the volume (money) was invested. but no result.
The color of the volume bars is assigned as follows:
Buyers:
If the volume is large - Blue - green
If middle, then blue
Small - light blue
Sellers:
If the volume is large - Burgundy color
If middle, then purple
Small volume - light purple
Indicator parameters:
Comparison period - the period at which the volumes and spread are compared with each other - by default it is 50, selected as the most universal period suitable for different timeframes. But for daytime ones. Weekly and monthly timeframes may need to be shortened. This is true after significant spikes in volume that are exceptional over the long term.
Period spread - Bars from close to close - or in other words, it is momentum - defaults to 1
sensitivity of increased volumes - according to the percentrank indicator - the limit above which the volume will be considered large, the same as in the Volume on bar VSA - indicator V2 - for clarity, I recommend looking at it.
The default is 85, which means. that if the current value of the volume is greater than 85% of the remaining values in this period, then such a value of the volume will be considered high.
medium volume sensitivity - the same sensitivity of increased volumes but for medium volumes.
multiplier of increased volumes - this is an empirical factor to emphasize the importance of increased volumes - default = 20
multiplier of average volumes - the same. As above, but for medium volumes - the default is 10
reduced volume multiplier - Default is 1.
Knowledge of VSA is required to read this indicator
This indicator is recommended for use with indicators:

Этот индикатор показывает эффективность продаж или покупок.
Рассчитывается следующим образом: с помощью percentrank оценивается величина объема и велечина спреда (momentum = 1)
полученная оценка велечины объема делится на оценку спреда (momentum = 1) и таким образом получаем значение. Чем оно больше, тем движение цены было эффективнее и легче.
Если значение индикатора маленькое, то это означает, что движение было неэффективным, поскольку объем (деньги) вложили. а результата нет.
Цвет барам объемов присваиваются следующим образом:
У покупателей:
Если объем большой - Сине – зелёный цвет
Если средний – то голубой
Маленький – свело-голубой
У продавцов:
Если объем большой - Бордовый цвет
Если средний – то пурпурный
Маленький объем – светло-пурпурный
Параметры индикатора:
Comparison period (период для сравнения) – период на котором между собой сравниваются объемы и спред – по умолчанию равно 50 , выбрано как наиболее универсальный период подходящий для различных таймфреймов. Но для дневных. Недельных и месячных таймфреймов может потребоваться уменьшить период. Это актуально после значительных всплесков объемов, которые являются исключительными на длительном периоде.
Period spread - Bars from close to close (Период спреда - Баров от закрытия до закрытия) – или другими словами это momentum – по умолчанию равно 1
sensitivity of increased volumes (чувствительность повышенных объемов) – согласно индикатору percentrank – граница выше которой объем будет считаться большим, то же самое, что в индикаторе Volume on bar VSA - indicator V2 – для наглядности как это работает рекомендую посмотреть его.
По умолчанию задано 85 – это означает. что если текущее значение объема больше, чем 85% остальных значений на этом периоде, то такое значение объема будет считаться высоким.
medium volume sensitivity (чувствительность средних объемов) – то же самое sensitivity of increased volumes но для средних объемов.
multiplier of increased volumes (множитель (вес) повышенных объемов) – это эмперический коэффициент для придания особой важности повышенным объемам- по умолчанию = 20
multiplier of average volumes (множитель (вес) средних объемов) – то же самое. Что и выше, но для средних объемов – по умолчанию равно 10
reduced volume multiplier (множитель (вес) пониженных объемов) – по умолчанию равно 1.

[Dipiers] Phoenix MTF v2.1This indicator is a modified (Multi Timeframe) version of the Phoenix Ascending that you can find between the @WyckoffMode scripts and it follows the same rules at the moment of the pubblication.
A special thanks to @Neuromantic that did a great part of the MTF coding and to @HedgeMode for the "real-time" idea to make the ongoing candle visibly different to always remember that it hasn't closed yet.
The chart TF must be the lowest between all the ones analysed.
The value of the higher TFs candles are the ones at the last close so to avoid repainting.
It is best used applying no more than a couple of TFs each chart so to have a better view of the races, you can apply the indicator multiple times to have a good view of the different TFs.
If you are using the code remember to give credit to the persons have worked on it.
Accumulation/DistributionAccumulation/Distribution explains when the big players buy or sell, according to Wyckoff.
I added some colors to make it more visibly, to get a hint when (not) to invest.
A/D is a lagging indicator.
When the MA is above A/D line, this should reflect distribution time, and big players are selling.
The oppsite is when MA is below the A/D line, then this should be an accumulation phase, and big players are buying.
For example, my preference is a TEMA20 for crypto, this gives me good results.
But I added a bunch of moving averages to choose from.
Depending on preferences/marked you can choose a moving average, set its length, and you can choose all the colors too.
I recommend the Volume indicator to setup the MA line, and this will get much better results!
I hope this script will help some people to do some better decisions.
And I am pleased to get some advice to make this script even better!
There is only one similar-sounding script in the public section.
Kudos go to jbneto with his Accum/ Dist + 200 EMA which gave me the inspiration.
It has a EMA200, and its focus is on the daily pivot price.
Linh's Anomaly Radar v2What this script does
It’s an event detector for price/volume anomalies that often precede or confirm moves.
It watches a bunch of patterns (Wyckoff tests, squeezes, failed breakouts, turnover bursts, etc.), applies robust z-scores, optional trend filters, cooldowns (to avoid spam), and then fires:
A shape/label on the bar,
A row in the mini panel (top-right),
A ready-made alertcondition you can hook into.
How to add & set up (TradingView)
Paste the script → Save → Add to chart on Daily first (works on any TF).
Open Settings → Inputs:
General
• Use Robust Z (MAD): more outlier-resistant; keep on.
• Z Lookback: 60 bars is ~3 months; bump to 120 for slower regimes.
• Cooldown: min bars to wait before the same signal can fire again (default 5).
• Use trend filter: if on, “bullish” signals only fire above SMA(tfLen), “bearish” below.
Thresholds: fine-tune sensitivity (defaults are sane).
To create alerts: Right-click chart → Add alert
Condition: Linh’s Anomaly Radar v2 → choose a specific signal or Composite (Σ).

How to use it (playbooks)
A) Daily scan workflow
Run on Daily for your VN watchlist.
Turn Composite (Σ) alert on with Σ≥2 or ≥3 to reduce noise.
When a bar fires Σ (or a fav combo like STL + BB↑), drop to 60-min to time entries.
B) Breakout quality check
Look for 52W together with BB↑, TAC, and OBV.
If WER/ND appear near highs → downgrade the breakout.
C) Spring/UTAD reversals
If SPR fires near major support and RBd confirms → long bias with stop below spring low.
If UTD + WER/RS↑ near resistance → short/fade with stop above UTAD high.
D) Accumulation basing
During bases, you want CLS, OBV, TGV, STL, NR7.
A pocket pivot (PIV) can be your early add; manage risk below base lows.
Tuning tips
Too many signals? Raise stealthVolZ to 5.5–6, evrVolZ to 3.5, use Σ≥3.
Fast movers? Lower bbwZthr to −1.0 (less strict squeeze), keep trend filter on.
Illiquid tickers? Keep MAD z-scores on, increase lookbacks (e.g., lenZ=120).
Limitations & good habits
First lenZ bars on a new symbol are less reliable (incomplete z-window).
Some ideas (VWAP magnet, close auction spikes, ETF/foreign flows, options skew) need intraday/external feeds — not included here.
Pine can’t “screen” across the whole market; set alerts or cycle your watchlist.

Compilation errors: make sure you’re on Pine v6; don’t nest functions in if blocks; each var int must be declared on its own line.
No shapes firing: check trend filter (maybe price is below SMA and you’re waiting for bullish signals), and verify thresholds aren’t too strict.
RSI with Swing Trade by Kelvin_VAlgorithm Description: "RSI with Swing Trade by Kelvin_V"
1. Introduction:
This algorithm uses the RSI (Relative Strength Index) and optional Moving Averages (MA) to detect potential uptrends and downtrends in the market. The key feature of this script is that it visually changes the candle colors based on the market conditions, making it easier for users to identify potential trend swings or wave patterns.
The strategy offers flexibility by allowing users to enable or disable the MA condition. When the MA condition is enabled, the strategy will confirm trends using two moving averages. When disabled, the strategy will only use RSI to detect potential market swings.
2. Key Features of the Algorithm:
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
The RSI is used to identify potential market turning points based on overbought and oversold conditions.
When the RSI exceeds a predefined upper threshold (e.g., 60), it suggests a potential uptrend.
When the RSI drops below a lower threshold (e.g., 40), it suggests a potential downtrend.
Moving Averages (MA) - Optional:
Two Moving Averages (Short MA and Long MA) are used to confirm trends.
If the Short MA crosses above the Long MA, it indicates an uptrend.
If the Short MA crosses below the Long MA, it indicates a downtrend.
Users have the option to enable or disable this MA condition.
Visual Candle Coloring:
Green candles represent a potential uptrend, indicating a bullish move based on RSI (and MA if enabled).
Red candles represent a potential downtrend, indicating a bearish move based on RSI (and MA if enabled).
3. How the Algorithm Works:
RSI Levels:
The user can set RSI upper and lower bands to represent potential overbought and oversold levels. For example:
RSI > 60: Indicates a potential uptrend (bullish move).
RSI < 40: Indicates a potential downtrend (bearish move).
Optional MA Condition:
The algorithm also allows the user to apply the MA condition to further confirm the trend:
Short MA > Long MA: Confirms an uptrend, reinforcing a bullish signal.
Short MA < Long MA: Confirms a downtrend, reinforcing a bearish signal.
This condition can be disabled, allowing the user to focus solely on RSI signals if desired.
Swing Trade Logic:
Uptrend: If the RSI exceeds the upper threshold (e.g., 60) and (optionally) the Short MA is above the Long MA, the candles will turn green to signal a potential uptrend.
Downtrend: If the RSI falls below the lower threshold (e.g., 40) and (optionally) the Short MA is below the Long MA, the candles will turn red to signal a potential downtrend.
Visual Representation:
The candle colors change dynamically based on the RSI values and moving average conditions, making it easier for traders to visually identify potential trend swings or wave patterns without relying on complex chart analysis.
4. User Customization:
The algorithm provides multiple customization options:
RSI Length: Users can adjust the period for RSI calculation (default is 4).
RSI Upper Band (Potential Uptrend): Users can customize the upper RSI level (default is 60) to indicate a potential bullish move.
RSI Lower Band (Potential Downtrend): Users can customize the lower RSI level (default is 40) to indicate a potential bearish move.
MA Type: Users can choose between SMA (Simple Moving Average) and EMA (Exponential Moving Average) for moving average calculations.
Enable/Disable MA Condition: Users can toggle the MA condition on or off, depending on whether they want to add moving averages to the trend confirmation process.
5. Benefits of the Algorithm:
Easy Identification of Trends: By changing candle colors based on RSI and MA conditions, the algorithm makes it easy for users to visually detect potential trend reversals and trend swings.
Flexible Conditions: The user has full control over the RSI and MA settings, allowing them to adapt the strategy to different market conditions and timeframes.
Clear Visualization: With the candle color changes, users can quickly recognize when a potential uptrend or downtrend is forming, enabling faster decision-making in their trading.
6. Example Usage:
Day traders: Can apply this strategy on short timeframes such as 5 minutes or 15 minutes to detect quick trends or reversals.
Swing traders: Can use this strategy on longer timeframes like 1 hour or 4 hours to identify and follow larger market swings.
RedK EVEREX - Effort Versus Results ExplorerRedK EVEREX is an experimental indicator that explores "Volume Price Analysis" basic concepts and Wyckoff law "Effort versus Result" - by inspecting the relative volume (effort) and the associated (relative) price action (result) for each bar - showing the analysis as an easy to read "stacked bands" visual. From that analysis, we calculate a "Relative Rate of Flow" - an easy to use +100/-100 oscilator that can be used to trigger a signal when a bullish or bearish mode is detected for a certain user-selected length of bars.
Basic Concepts of VPA
-------------------------------
(The topics of VPA & Wyckoff Effort vs Results law are too comprehensive to cover here - So here's just a very basic summary - please review these topics in detail in various sources available here in TradingView or on the web)
* Volume Price Analysis (VPA) is the examination of the number of shares or contracts of a security that have been traded in a given period, and the associated price movement. By analyzing trends in volume in conjunction with price movements, traders can determine the significance of changes in price and what may unfold in the near future.
* Oftentimes, high volumes of trading can infer a lot about investors’ outlook on a market or security. A significant price increase along with a significant volume increase, for example, could be a credible sign of a continued bullish trend or a bullish reversal. Adversely, a significant price decrease with a significant volume increase can point to a continued bearish trend or a bearish trend reversal.
* Incorporating volume into a trading decision can help an investor to have a more balanced view of all the broad market factors that could be influencing a security’s price, which helps an investor to make a more informed decision.
* Wyckoff's law "Effort versus results" dictates that large effort is expected to be accompanied with big results - which means that we should expect to see a big price move (result) associated with a large relative volume (effort) for a certain trading period (bar).
* The way traders use this concept in chart analysis is to mainly look for imbalances or invalidation. for example, when we observe a large relative volume that is associated with very limited price change - that should trigger an early flag/warning sign that the current price trend is facing challenges and may be an early sign of "reversal" - this applies in both bearish and bullish conditions. on the other hand, when price starts to trend in a certain direction and that's associated with increasing volume, that can act as kind of validation, or a confirmation that the market supports that move.
How does EVEREX work
---------------------------------
* EVEREX inspects each bar and calculates a relative value for volume (effort) and "strength of price movement" (result) compared to a specified lookback period. The results are then visualized as stacked bands - the lower band represents the relative volume, the upper band represents the relative price strength - with clear color coding for easier analysis.
* The scale of the band is initially set to 100 (each band can occupy up to 50) - and that can be changed in the settings to 200 or 400 - mainly to allow a "zoom in" on the bands.
* Reading the resulting stacked bands makes it easier to see "balanced" volume/price action (where both bands are either equally strong, or equally weak), or when there's imbalance between volume and price (for example, a compression bar will show with high volume band and very small/tiny price action band) - another favorite pattern in VPA is the "Ease of Move", which will show as a relatively small volume band associated with a large "price action band" (either bullish or bearish) .. and so on.
* a bit of a techie piece: why the use of a custom "Normalize()" function to calculate "relative" values in EVEREX?
When we evaluate a certain value against an average (for example, volume) we need a mechanism to deal with "super high" values that largely exceed that average - I also needed a mechanism that mimics how a trader looks at a volume bar and decides that this volume value is super low, low, average, above average, high or super high -- the issue with using a stoch() function, which is the usual technique for comparing a data point against a lookback average, is that this function will produce a "zero" for low values, and cause a large distortion of the next few "ratios" when super large values occur in the data series - i researched multiple techniques here and decided to use the custom Normalize() function - and what i found is, as long as we're applying the same formula consistently to the data series, since it's all relative to itself, we can confidently use the result. Please feel free to play around with this part further if you like - the code is commented for those who would like to research this further.
* Overall, the hope is to make the bar-by-bar analysis easier and faster for traders who apply VPA concepts in their trading
What is RROF?
--------------------------
* Once we have the values of relative volume and relative price strength, it's easy from there to combine these values into a moving index that can be used to track overall strength and detect reversals in market direction - if you think about it this a very similar concept to a volume-weighted RSI. I call that index the "Relative Rate of Flow" - or RROF (cause we're not using the direct volume and price values in the calculation, but rather relative values that we calculated with the proprietary "Normalize" function in the script.
* You can show RROF as a single or double-period - and you can customize it in terms of smoothing, and signal line - and also utilize the basic alerts to get notified when a change in strength from one side to the other (bullish vs bearish) is detected
* In the chart above, you can see how the RROF was able to detect change in market condition from Bearsh to Bullish - then from Bullish to Bearish for TSLA with good accuracy.
Other Usage Options in EVEREX
------------------------------------
* I wrote EVEREX with a lot of flexibility and utilization in mind, while focusing on a clean and easy to use visual - EVEREX should work with any time frame and any instrument - in instruments with no volume data, only price data will be used.
* You can completely hide the "EVEREX bands" and use EVEREX as a single or dual period strength indicator (by exposing the Bias/Sentiment plot which is hidden by default) -
here's how this setup would look like - in this mode, you will basically be using EVEREX the same way you're using a volume-weighted RSI
* or you can hide the bias/sentiment, and expose the Bulls & Bears plots (using the indicator's "Style" tab), and trade it like a Bull/Bear Pressure Index like this
* you can choose Moving Average type for most plot elements in EVEREX, including how to deal with the Lookback averaging
* you can set EVEREX to a different time frame than the chart
* did i mention basic alerts in this v1.0 ?? There's room to add more VPA-specific alerts in future version (for example, when Ease-of-Move or Compression bars are detected...etc) - let me know if the comments what you want to see
Final Thoughts
--------------------
* EVEREX can be used for bar-by-bar VPA analysis - There are so much literature out there about VPA and it's highly recommended that traders read more about what VPA is and how it works - as it adds an interesting (and critical) dimension to technical analysis and will improve decision making
* RROF is a "strength indicator" - it does not track price values (levels) or momentum - as you will see when you use it, the price can be moving up, while the RROF signal line starts moving down, reflecting decreasing strength (or otherwise, increasing bear strength) - So if you incorporate EVEREX in your trading you will need to use it alongside other momentum and price value indicators (like MACD, MA's, Trend Channels, Support & Resistance Lines, Fib / Donchian..etc) - to use for trade confirmation
