SL Hunting Detector📌 Step 1: Identify Liquidity Zones
The script plots high-liquidity zones (red) and low-liquidity zones (green).
These are areas where big players target stop-losses before reversing the price.
Example:
If price is near a red liquidity zone, expect a potential stop-loss hunt & reversal downward.
If price is near a green liquidity zone, expect a potential stop-loss hunt & reversal upward.
📌 Step 2: Watch for Stop-Loss Hunts (Fakeouts)
The indicator marks stop-loss hunts with red (bearish) or green (bullish) arrows.
When do stop-loss hunts occur?
✅ A long wick below support (with high volume) = Stop hunt before reversal upward.
✅ A long wick above resistance (with high volume) = Stop hunt before reversal downward.
Confirmation:
Volume must spike (volume > 1.5x the average volume).
ATR-based wicks must be longer than usual (showing a stop-hunt trap).
📌 Step 3: Enter a Trade After a Stop-Hunt
🔹 Bullish Trade (Buying a Dip)
If a green arrow appears (stop-hunt below support):
✅ Enter a long (buy) trade at or just above the wick’s recovery level.
✅ Stop-loss: Below the wick’s low (avoid getting hunted again).
✅ Take-profit: Next resistance level or mid-range of the liquidity zone.
🔹 Bearish Trade (Shorting a Fakeout)
If a red arrow appears (stop-hunt above resistance):
✅ Enter a short (sell) trade at or just below the wick’s rejection level.
✅ Stop-loss: Above the wick’s high (avoid getting stopped out).
✅ Take-profit: Next support level or mid-range of the liquidity zone.
📌 Step 4: Set Alerts & Automate
✅ The indicator triggers alerts when a stop-hunt is detected.
✅ You can set TradingView to notify you instantly when:
A bullish stop-hunt occurs → Look for long entry.
A bearish stop-hunt occurs → Look for short entry.
📌 Example Trade Setup
Example (BTC Long Trade on Stop-Hunt)
BTC is near $40,000 support (green liquidity zone).
A long wick drops to $39,800 with a green arrow (bullish stop-hunt signal).
Volume spikes, and price recovers quickly back above $40,000.
Trade entry: Buy at $40,050.
Stop-loss: Below wick ($39,700).
Take-profit: $41,500 (next resistance).
Result: BTC pumps, stop-loss remains safe, and trade profits.
🔥 Final Tips
Always wait for confirmation (don’t enter blindly on signals).
Use higher timeframes (15m, 1H, 4H) for better accuracy.
Combine with Order Flow tools (like Bookmap) to see real liquidity zones.

🔶 ORIGINALITY The Mean Reversion Cloud (Ornstein-Uhlenbeck) is a unique indicator that applies the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck stochastic process to identify mean-reverting behavior in asset prices. Unlike traditional moving average-based indicators, this model uses an Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) to calculate the long-term mean, dynamically adjusting to recent price movements while still considering all historical data. It also incorporates volatility bands, providing a "cloud" that visually highlights overbought or oversold conditions. By calculating the speed of mean reversion (θ) through the autocorrelation of log returns, this indicator offers traders a more nuanced and mathematically robust tool for identifying mean-reversion opportunities. These innovations make it especially useful for markets that exhibit range-bound characteristics, offering timely buy and sell signals based on statistical deviations from the mean.
🔸Adaptive Mean Calculation Traditional MA indicators use fixed lengths, which can lead to lagging signals or over-sensitivity in volatile markets. The Mean Reversion Cloud uses an Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA), which adapts to price movements by dynamically adjusting its calculation, offering a more responsive mean.
🔸Volatility-Based Cloud Unlike simple moving averages that only plot a single line, the Mean Reversion Cloud surrounds the dynamic mean with volatility bands. These bands, based on standard deviations, provide traders with a visual cue of when prices are statistically likely to revert, highlighting potential reversal zones.
🔸Speed of Reversion (θ) The indicator goes beyond price averages by calculating the speed at which the price reverts to the mean (θ), using the autocorrelation of log returns. This gives traders an additional tool for estimating the likelihood and timing of mean reversion, making the signals more reliable in practice.
🔶 FUNCTIONALITY The Mean Reversion Cloud (Ornstein-Uhlenbeck) indicator is designed to detect potential mean-reversion opportunities in asset prices by applying the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck stochastic process. It calculates a dynamic mean through the Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) and plots volatility bands based on the standard deviation of the asset's price over a specified period. These bands create a "cloud" that represents expected price fluctuations, helping traders to identify overbought or oversold conditions. By calculating the speed of reversion (θ) from the autocorrelation of log returns, the indicator offers a more refined way of assessing how quickly prices may revert to the mean. Additionally, the inclusion of volatility provides a comprehensive view of market conditions, allowing for more accurate buy and sell signals.
Let's dive into the details:
🔸Dynamic Mean and Volatility Bands The dynamic mean (μ) is calculated using the EWMA, giving more weight to recent prices but considering all historical data. This process closely resembles the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) process, which models the tendency of a stochastic variable (such as price) to revert to its mean over time. Volatility bands are plotted around the mean using standard deviation, forming the "cloud" that signals overbought or oversold conditions. The cloud adapts dynamically to price fluctuations and market volatility, making it a versatile tool for mean-reversion strategies. 🞘 How it works Step one: Calculate the dynamic mean (μ) The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process describes how a variable, such as an asset's price, tends to revert to a long-term mean while subject to random fluctuations. In this indicator, the EWMA is used to compute the dynamic mean (μ), mimicking the mean-reverting behavior of the OU process. Use the EWMA formula to compute a weighted mean that adjusts to recent price movements. Assign exponentially decreasing weights to older data while giving more emphasis to current prices. Step two: Plot volatility bands Calculate the standard deviation of the price over a user-defined period to determine market volatility. Position the upper and lower bands around the mean by adding and subtracting a multiple of the standard deviation. 🞘 How to calculate Exponential Weighted Moving Average (EWMA)
The EWMA dynamically adjusts to recent price movements:
mu_t = lambda * mu_{t-1} + (1 - lambda) * P_t
Where mu_t is the mean at time t, lambda is the decay factor, and P_t is the price at time t. The higher the decay factor, the more weight is given to recent data.
Autocorrelation (ρ) and Standard Deviation (σ)
To measure mean reversion speed and volatility: rho = correlation(log(close), log(close ), length) Where rho is the autocorrelation of log returns over a specified period.
To calculate volatility:
sigma = stdev(close, length)
Where sigma is the standard deviation of the asset's closing price over a specified length.
Upper and Lower Bands
The upper and lower bands are calculated as follows:
upper_band = mu + (threshold * sigma)
lower_band = mu - (threshold * sigma)
Where threshold is a multiplier for the standard deviation, usually set to 2. These bands represent the range within which the price is expected to fluctuate, based on current volatility and the mean.
🞘 Code extract // Calculate Returns
returns = math.log(close / close )
// Calculate Long-Term Mean (μ) using EWMA over the entire dataset
var float ewma_mu = na // Initialize ewma_mu as 'na'
ewma_mu := na(ewma_mu ) ? close : decay_factor * ewma_mu + (1 - decay_factor) * close
mu = ewma_mu
// Calculate Autocorrelation at Lag 1
rho1 = ta.correlation(returns, returns , corr_length)
// Ensure rho1 is within valid range to avoid errors
rho1 := na(rho1) or rho1 <= 0 ? 0.0001 : rho1
// Calculate Speed of Mean Reversion (θ)
theta = -math.log(rho1)
// Calculate Volatility (σ)
sigma = ta.stdev(close, corr_length)
// Calculate Upper and Lower Bands
upper_band = mu + threshold * sigma
lower_band = mu - threshold * sigma
🔸Visualization via Table and Plotshapes
The table shows key statistics such as the current value of the dynamic mean (μ), the number of times the price has crossed the upper or lower bands, and the consecutive number of bars that the price has remained in an overbought or oversold state.
Plotshapes (diamonds) are used to signal buy and sell opportunities. A green diamond below the price suggests a buy signal when the price crosses below the lower band, and a red diamond above the price indicates a sell signal when the price crosses above the upper band.
The table and plotshapes provide a comprehensive visualization, combining both statistical and actionable information to aid decision-making.
🞘 Code extract // Reset consecutive_bars when price crosses the mean
var consecutive_bars = 0
if (close < mu and close >= mu) or (close > mu and close <= mu)
consecutive_bars := 0
else if math.abs(deviation) > 0
consecutive_bars := math.min(consecutive_bars + 1, dev_length)
transparency = math.max(0, math.min(100, 100 - (consecutive_bars * 100 / dev_length)))

🞘 Understanding What to Look For on the Chart
Indicator Behavior:
Observe how the price interacts with the dynamic mean and volatility bands. The price staying within the bands suggests mean-reverting behavior, while crossing the bands signals potential entry points.
The indicator calculates overbought/oversold conditions based on deviation from the mean, highlighted by color-coded cloud areas on the chart.
Crossovers and Deviation:
Look for crossovers between the price and the mean (μ) or the bands. A bullish crossover occurs when the price crosses below the lower band, signaling a potential buying opportunity.
A bearish crossover occurs when the price crosses above the upper band, suggesting a potential sell signal.
Deviations from the mean indicate market extremes. A large deviation indicates that the price is far from the mean, suggesting a potential reversal.
Slope and Direction:
Pay attention to the slope of the mean (μ). A rising slope suggests bullish market conditions, while a declining slope signals a bearish market.
The steepness of the slope can indicate the strength of the mean-reversion trend.
🞘 Possible Entry Signals
Bullish Entry:
Crossover Entry: Enter a long position when the price crosses below the lower band with a positive deviation from the mean.
Confirmation Entry: Use additional indicators like RSI (above 50) or increasing volume to confirm the bullish signal.
Bearish Entry:
Crossover Entry: Enter a short position when the price crosses above the upper band with a negative deviation from the mean.
Confirmation Entry: Look for RSI (below 50) or decreasing volume to confirm the bearish signal.
Deviation Confirmation:
Enter trades when the deviation from the mean is significant, indicating that the price has strayed far from its expected value and is likely to revert.
🞘 Possible Take Profit Strategies
Static Take Profit Levels:
Set predefined take profit levels based on historical volatility, using the upper and lower bands as guides.
Place take profit orders near recent support/resistance levels, ensuring you're capitalizing on the mean-reversion behavior.
Trailing Stop Loss:
Use a trailing stop based on a percentage of the price deviation from the mean to lock in profits as the trend progresses.
Adjust the trailing stop dynamically along the calculated bands to protect profits as the price returns to the mean.
Deviation-Based Exits:
Exit when the deviation from the mean starts to decrease, signaling that the price is returning to its equilibrium.
🞘 Possible Stop-Loss Levels
Initial Stop Loss:
Place an initial stop loss outside the lower band (for long positions) or above the upper band (for short positions) to protect against excessive deviations.
Use a volatility-based buffer to avoid getting stopped out during normal price fluctuations.
Dynamic Stop Loss:
Move the stop loss closer to the mean as the price converges back towards equilibrium, reducing risk.
Adjust the stop loss dynamically along the bands to account for sudden market movements.
🞘 Additional Tips
Combine with Other Indicators:
Enhance your strategy by combining the Mean Reversion Cloud with momentum indicators like MACD, RSI, or Bollinger Bands to confirm market conditions.
Backtesting and Practice:
Backtest the indicator on historical data to understand how it performs in various market environments.
Practice using the indicator on a demo account before implementing it in live trading.
Market Awareness:
Keep an eye on market news and events that might cause extreme price movements. The indicator reacts to price data and might not account for news-driven events that can cause large deviations.
🔸Customize settings 🞘 Decay Factor (λ): Defines the weight assigned to recent price data in the calculation of the mean. A value closer to 1 places more emphasis on recent prices, while lower values create a smoother, more lagging mean.
🞘 Autocorrelation Length (θ): Sets the period for calculating the speed of mean reversion and volatility. Longer lengths capture more historical data, providing smoother calculations, while shorter lengths make the indicator more responsive.
🞘 Threshold (σ): Specifies the number of standard deviations used to create the upper and lower bands. Higher thresholds widen the bands, producing fewer signals, while lower thresholds tighten the bands for more frequent signals.
🞘 Max Gradient Length (γ): Determines the maximum number of consecutive bars for calculating the deviation gradient. This setting impacts the transparency of the plotted bands based on the length of deviation from the mean.

🔶 ORIGINALITY The Multi-Scale Adaptive MAs (Hurst, CVaR, Fractal) indicator stands out due to its unique approach of dynamically adjusting moving averages based on advanced statistical measures, making it highly responsive to varying market conditions. Unlike traditional moving averages that rely on static periods, this indicator adapts in real-time using three distinct adaptive methods: Hurst Exponent, CVaR, and Fractal Dimension.
🔸Adaptive Mechanisms
Traditional MA indicators use fixed lengths, which can lead to lagging signals or over-sensitivity in volatile markets. The Multi-Scale Adaptive MAs employ adaptive methods to adjust the MA length dynamically, providing a more accurate reflection of current market conditions.
🔸Multi-Faceted Analysis
By integrating Hurst Exponent, CVaR, and Fractal Dimension, the indicator offers a comprehensive market analysis. It captures different aspects of market behavior, including trend persistence, risk of extreme movements, and complexity, which are often missed by standard MAs.
🔸Versatility Across Timeframes
The indicator’s ability to switch between different adaptive methods based on market conditions allows traders to analyze short-term, medium-term, and long-term trends with enhanced precision.
🔸Multi-Scale Combination
Utilizing multiple adaptive MAs in combination provides a more nuanced view of the market, allowing traders to see how short, medium, and long-term trends interact. This layered approach helps in identifying the strength and consistency of trends across different scales, offering more reliable signals and aiding in complex decision-making processes. When combined, these MAs can also signal key market shifts when they converge or diverge, offering deeper insights than a single MA could provide.
🔶 FUNCTIONALITY The indicator adjusts moving averages based on a variety of different choosable adaptives. The Hurst Exponent to identify trend persistence or mean reversion, adapting to market conditions for both short-term and long-term trends. Using CVaR, it evaluates the risk of extreme price movements, ensuring the moving average is more conservative during high-risk periods, protecting against potential large losses. By incorporating the Fractal Dimension, the indicator adapts to market complexity, adjusting to varying levels of price roughness and volatility, which allows it to respond more accurately to different market structures and patterns.
Let's dive into the details:
🔸Hurst Exponent (H)
Measures the degree of trend persistence or mean reversion.
By using the Hurst Exponent, the indicator adjusts to capture the strength and duration of trends, helping traders to stay in profitable trades longer and avoid false reversals in ranging markets.
It enhances the detection of trends, making it suitable for both short-term scalping and identifying long-term trends.
🞘 How it works Rescaled Range (R/S) Analysis Calculate the mean of the closing prices over a set window.
Determine the deviation of each price from the mean.
Compute the cumulative sum of these deviations over the window.
Calculate the range (R) of the cumulative deviations (maximum minus minimum).
Compute the standard deviation (S) of the price series over the window.
Obtain the R/S ratio as R/S.
Linear Regression for Hurst Exponent Calculate the logarithm of multiple window sizes and their corresponding R/S values.
Use linear regression to determine the slope of the line fitting the log(R/S) against log(window size).
The slope of this line is an estimate of the Hurst Exponent.
🞘 How to calculate Range (R)
Calculate the maximum cumulative deviation:
R=max(sum(deviation))−min(sum(deviation))
Where deviation is the difference between each price and the mean.
Standard Deviation (S)
Calculate the standard deviation of the price series:
S=sqrt((1/(n−1))∗sum((Xi−mean)2))
Rescaled Range (R/S)
Divide the range by the standard deviation:
R/S=R/S
Hurst Exponent
Perform linear regression to estimate the slope of:
log(R/S) versus log(windowsize)
The slope of this line is the Hurst Exponent.

else
hurst_exp := 0.5 // Default to 0.5 if not enough data
hurst_exp
🔸Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR)
Assesses the risk of extreme losses by focusing on tail risk.
This method adjusts the moving average to account for market conditions where extreme price movements are likely, providing a more conservative approach during periods of high risk.
Traders benefit by better managing risk and avoiding major losses during volatile market conditions.
🞘 How it works Calculate Returns Determine the returns as the percentage change between consecutive closing prices over a specified window.
Percentile Calculation Identify the percentile threshold (e.g., the 5th percentile) for the worst returns in the dataset.
Average of Extreme Losses Calculate the average of all returns that are less than or equal to this percentile, representing the CVaR.
🞘 How to calculate Return Calculation
Calculate the return as the percentage change between consecutive prices:
Return = (Pt − Pt−1) / Pt−1
Where Pt is the price at time t.
Percentile Threshold
Identify the return value at the specified percentile (e.g., 5th percentile):
PercentileValue=percentile(returns,percentile_threshold)
CVaR Calculation
Compute the average of all returns below the percentile threshold:
CVaR = (1/n)∗sum(Return) for all Return≤PercentileValue
Where n is the total number of returns.

cvar_count += 1
// Calculate CVaR
cvar = cvar_count > 0 ? cvar_sum / cvar_count : 0.0
cvar
🔸Fractal Dimension (FD)
Evaluates market complexity and roughness by analyzing how price movements behave across different scales.
It enables the moving average to adapt based on the level of market noise or structure, allowing for smoother MAs during complex, volatile periods and more sensitive MAs during clear trends.
This adaptability is crucial for traders dealing with varying market states, improving the indicator's responsiveness to price changes.
🞘 How it works Total Distance (L) Calculation Sum the absolute price movements between consecutive periods over a given window.
Maximum Distance (D) Calculation Calculate the maximum displacement from the first to the last price point within the window.
Calculate Fractal Dimension Use Katz's method to estimate the Fractal Dimension as the ratio of the logarithms of L and D, divided by the logarithm of the number of steps (N).
🞘 How to calculate Total Distance (L)
Sum the absolute price changes over the window:
L=sum(abs(Pt−Pt−1)) for t from 2 to n
Where Pt is the price at time t.
Maximum Distance (D)
Find the maximum absolute displacement from the first to the last price in the window:
D=max(abs(Pn-P1))
Fractal Dimension Calculation
Use Katz's method to estimate fractal dimension:
FD=log(L/D)/log(N)
Where N is the number of steps in the window.
🞘 Code extract // Fractal Dimension
calc_fractal(source_, adaptive_window_) =>
// Calculate the total distance (L) traveled by the price
L = 0.0
for i = 1 to adaptive_window_
L += math.abs(source_ - source_ )
// Calculate the maximum distance between first and last price
D = math.max(math.abs(source_ - source_ ), 1e-10) // Avoid division by zero
// Calculate the number of steps (N)
N = adaptive_window_
// Estimate the Fractal Dimension using Katz's formula
math.log(L / D) / math.log(N)

Adaptive Method: Choose between "Hurst," "CVaR," and "Fractal" depending on the market condition and your trading style.
Length: Set the base length for the moving average (e.g., 20, 50, or 100). This length will be adjusted dynamically based on the selected adaptive method.
Other Parameters: Adjust any other parameters as needed, such as window sizes or scaling factors specific to each adaptive method.
Chart Setup: Ensure you have an appropriate timeframe selected (e.g., 1-hour, 4-hour, daily) based on your trading strategy.
Consider using additional indicators like volume or RSI to confirm signals.
🞘 Understanding What to Look For on the Chart Indicator Behavior: Observe how the adaptive moving average (AMA) behaves compared to standard moving averages, e.g. notice how it might change direction with strength (Hurst).
For example, the AMA may become smoother during high market volatility (CVaR) or more responsive during strong trends (Hurst).
Crossovers: Look for crossovers between the price and the adaptive moving average.
A bullish crossover occurs when the price crosses above the AMA, suggesting a potential uptrend.
A bearish crossover occurs when the price crosses below the AMA, indicating a possible downtrend.
Slope and Direction: Pay attention to the slope of the AMA. A rising slope suggests a bullish trend, while a declining slope indicates a bearish trend.
The slope’s steepness can give you clues about the trend's strength.
🞘 Possible Entry Signals Bullish Entry: Crossover Entry: Enter a long position when the price crosses above the AMA and the AMA has a positive slope.
Confirmation Entry: Combine the crossover with other indicators like RSI (above 50) or increasing volume for confirmation.
Bearish Entry: Crossover Entry: Enter a short position when the price crosses below the AMA and the AMA has a negative slope.
Confirmation Entry: Use additional indicators like RSI (below 50) or decreasing volume to confirm the bearish trend.
Adaptive Method Confirmation: Hurst: Enter when the AMA indicates a strong trend (steeper slope). Suitable for trend-following strategies.
CVaR: Be cautious during high-risk periods. Enter only if confirmed by other indicators, as the AMA may become more conservative.
Fractal: Ideal for capturing reversals in complex markets. Look for crossovers in volatile markets.
🞘 Possible Take Profit Strategies Static Take Profit Levels: Set take profit levels based on predefined ratios (e.g., 1:2 or 1:3 risk-reward ratio).
Place take profit orders at recent swing highs (for long positions) or swing lows (for short positions).
Trailing Stop Loss: Use a trailing stop based on a percentage of the AMA value to lock in profits as the trend progresses.
Adjust the trailing stop dynamically to follow the AMA, allowing profits to run while protecting gains.
Adaptive Method Based Exits: Hurst: Exit when the AMA begins to flatten or turn in the opposite direction, signaling a potential trend reversal.
CVaR: Consider taking profits earlier during high-risk periods when the AMA suggests caution.
Fractal: Use the AMA to exit in complex markets when it smooths out, indicating reduced volatility.
🞘 Possible Stop-Loss Levels Initial Stop Loss: Place an initial stop loss below the AMA (for long positions) or above the AMA (for short positions) to protect against adverse movements.
Use a buffer (e.g., ATR value) to avoid being stopped out by normal price fluctuations.
Adaptive Stop Loss: Adjust the stop loss dynamically based on the AMA. Move the stop loss along the AMA as the trend progresses to minimize risk.
This helps in adapting to changing market conditions and avoiding premature exits.
Adaptive Method-Specific Stop Loss: Hurst: Use wider stops during trending markets to allow for minor pullbacks.
CVaR: Adjust stops in high-risk periods to avoid being stopped out prematurely during price fluctuations.
Fractal: Place stops at recent support/resistance levels in highly volatile markets.
🞘 Additional Tips Combine with Other Indicators: Enhance your strategy by combining the AMA with other technical indicators like MACD, RSI, or Bollinger Bands for better signal confirmation.
Backtesting and Practice: Backtest the indicator on historical data to understand how it performs in different market conditions.
Practice using the indicator on a demo account before applying it to live trading.
Market Awareness: Always be aware of market conditions and fundamental events that might impact price movements, as the AMA reacts to price action and may not account for sudden news-driven events.
🔸Customize settings 🞘 Time Override: Enables or disables the ability to override the default time frame for the moving averages. When enabled, you can specify a custom time frame for the calculations.
🞘 Time: Specifies the custom time frame to use when the Time Override setting is enabled.
🞘 Enable MA: Enables or disables the moving average. When disabled, MA will not be displayed on the chart.
🞘 Show Smoothing Line: Enables or disables the display of a smoothing line for the moving average. The smoothing line helps to reduce noise and provide a clearer trend.
🞘 Show as Horizontal Line: Displays the moving average as a horizontal line instead of a dynamic line that follows the price.
🞘 Source: Specifies the data source for the moving average calculation (e.g., close, open, high, low).
🞘 Length: Sets the period length for the moving average. A longer length will result in a smoother moving average, while a shorter length will make it more responsive to price changes.
🞘 Time: Specifies a custom time frame for the moving average, overriding the default time frame if Time Override is enabled.
🞘 Method: Selects the calculation method for the moving average (e.g., SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, VWMA).
🞘 Offset: Shifts the moving average forward or backward by the specified number of bars.
🞘 Color: Sets the color for the moving average line.
🞘 Adaptive Method: Selects the adaptive method to dynamically adjust the moving average based on market conditions (e.g., Hurst, CVaR, Fractal).
🞘 Window Size: Sets the window size for the adaptive method, determining how much historical data is used for the calculation.
🞘 CVaR Scaling Factor: Adjusts the influence of CVaR on the moving average length, controlling how much the length changes based on calculated risk.
🞘 CVaR Risk: Specifies the percentile cutoff for the worst-case returns used in the CVaR calculation to assess extreme losses.
🞘 Smoothing Method: Selects the method for smoothing the moving average (e.g., SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, VWMA).
🞘 Smoothing Length: Sets the period length for smoothing the moving average.
🞘 Fill Color to Smoothing Moving Average: Enables or disables the color fill between the moving average and its smoothing line.
🞘 Transparency: Sets the transparency level for the color fill between the moving average and its smoothing line.
🞘 Show Label: Enables or disables the display of a label for the moving average on the chart.
🞘 Show Label for Smoothing: Enables or disables the display of a label for the smoothing line of the moving average on the chart.
🔶 CONCLUSION The Multi-Scale Adaptive MAs indicator offers a sophisticated approach to trend analysis and risk management by dynamically adjusting moving averages based on Hurst Exponent, CVaR, and Fractal Dimension. This adaptability allows traders to respond more effectively to varying market conditions, capturing trends and managing risks with greater precision. By incorporating advanced statistical measures, the indicator goes beyond traditional moving averages, providing a nuanced and versatile tool for both short-term and long-term trading strategies. Its unique ability to reflect market complexity and extreme risks makes it an invaluable asset for traders seeking a deeper understanding of market dynamics.
[imba]lance algo🟩 INTRODUCTION
Hello, everyone!
Please take the time to review this description and source code to utilize this script to its fullest potential.
🟩 CONCEPTS
This is a trend indicator. The trend is the 0.5 fibonacci level for a certain period of time.
A trend change occurs when at least one candle closes above the level of 0.236 (for long) or below 0.786 (for short). Also it has massive amout of settings and features more about this below.
With good settings, the indicator works great on any market and any time frame!
A distinctive feature of this indicator is its backtest panel. With which you can dynamically view the results of setting up a strategy such as profit, what the deposit size is, etc.
Please note that the profit is indicated as a percentage of the initial deposit. It is also worth considering that all profit calculations are based on the risk % setting.
🟩 FEATURES
First, I want to show you what you see on the chart. And I’ll show you everything closer and in more detail.
1. Position
2. Statistic panel
3. Backtest panel
Indicator settings:
Let's go in order:
1. Strategies
This setting is responsible for loading saved strategies. There are only two preset settings, MANUAL and UNIVERSAL. If you choose any strategy other than MANUAL, then changing the settings for take profits, stop loss, sensitivity will not bring any results.
You can also save your customized strategies, this is discussed in a separate paragraph “🟩HOW TO SAVE A STRATEGY”
2. Sensitive
Responsible for the time period in bars to create Fibonacci levels
3. Start calculating date
This is the time to start backtesting strategies
4. Position group
Show checkbox - is responsible for displaying positions
Fill checkbox - is responsible for filling positions with background
Risk % - is responsible for what percentage of the deposit you are willing to lose if there is a stop loss
BE target - here you can choose when you reach which take profit you need to move your stop loss to breakeven
Initial deposit- starting deposit for profit calculation
5. Stoploss group
Fixed stoploss % checkbox - If choosed: stoploss will be calculated manually depending on the setting below( formula: entry_price * (1 - stoploss percent)) If NOT choosed: stoploss will be ( formula: fibonacci level(0.786/0.236) * (1 + stoploss percent))
6. Take profit group
This group of settings is responsible for how far from the entry point take profits will be and what % of the position to fix
7. RSI
Responsible for configuring the built-in RSI. Suitable bars will be highlighted with crosses above or below, depending on overbought/oversold
8. Infopanels group
Here I think everything is clear, you can hide or show information panels
9. Developer mode
If enabled, all events that occur will be shown, for example, reaching a take profit or stop loss with detailed information about the unfixed balance of the position
🟩 HOW TO USE
Very simple. All you need is to wait for the trend to change to long or short, you will immediately see a stop loss and four take profits, and you will also see prices. Like in this picture:
🟩 ALERTS
There are 3 types of alerts:
1. Long signal
2. Short signal
3. Any alert() function call - will be send to you json with these fields
{
"side": "LONG",
"entry": "64.454",
"tp1": "65.099",
"tp2": "65.743",
"tp3": "66.388",
"tp4": "67.032",
"winrate": "35.42%",
"strategy": "MANUAL",
"beTargetTrigger": "1",
"stop": "64.44"
}
🟩 HOW TO SAVE A STRATEGY
First, you need to make sure that the “MANUAL” strategy is selected in the strategy settings.
After this, you can start selecting parameters that will show the largest profit in the statistics panel.
I have highlighted what you need to pay attention to when choosing a strategy
Let's assume you have set up a strategy. The main question is how to preserve it?
Let’s say the strategy turned out with the following parameters:
Next we need to find this section of code:
// STRATS
selector(string strategy_name) =>
strategy_settings = Strategy_settings.new()
switch strategy_name
"MANUAL" =>
strategy_settings.sensitivity := 18
strategy_settings.risk_percent := 1
strategy_settings.break_even_target := "1"
strategy_settings.tp1_percent := 1
strategy_settings.tp1_percent_fix := 40
strategy_settings.tp2_percent := 2
strategy_settings.tp2_percent_fix := 30
strategy_settings.tp3_percent := 3
strategy_settings.tp3_percent_fix := 20
strategy_settings.tp4_percent := 4
strategy_settings.tp4_percent_fix := 10
strategy_settings.fixed_stop := false
strategy_settings.sl_percent := 0.0
"UNIVERSAL" =>
strategy_settings.sensitivity := 20
strategy_settings.risk_percent := 1
strategy_settings.break_even_target := "1"
strategy_settings.tp1_percent := 1
strategy_settings.tp1_percent_fix := 40
strategy_settings.tp2_percent := 2
strategy_settings.tp2_percent_fix := 30
strategy_settings.tp3_percent := 3
strategy_settings.tp3_percent_fix := 20
strategy_settings.tp4_percent := 4
strategy_settings.tp4_percent_fix := 10
strategy_settings.fixed_stop := false
strategy_settings.sl_percent := 0.0
// "NEW STRATEGY" =>
// strategy_settings.sensitivity := 20
// strategy_settings.risk_percent := 1
// strategy_settings.break_even_target := "1"
// strategy_settings.tp1_percent := 1
// strategy_settings.tp1_percent_fix := 40
// strategy_settings.tp2_percent := 2
// strategy_settings.tp2_percent_fix := 30
// strategy_settings.tp3_percent := 3
// strategy_settings.tp3_percent_fix := 20
// strategy_settings.tp4_percent := 4
// strategy_settings.tp4_percent_fix := 10
// strategy_settings.fixed_stop := false
// strategy_settings.sl_percent := 0.0
strategy_settings
// STRATS
Let's uncomment on the latest strategy called "NEW STRATEGY" rename it to "SOL 5m" and change the sensitivity:
// STRATS
selector(string strategy_name) =>
strategy_settings = Strategy_settings.new()
switch strategy_name
"MANUAL" =>
strategy_settings.sensitivity := 18
strategy_settings.risk_percent := 1
strategy_settings.break_even_target := "1"
strategy_settings.tp1_percent := 1
strategy_settings.tp1_percent_fix := 40
strategy_settings.tp2_percent := 2
strategy_settings.tp2_percent_fix := 30
strategy_settings.tp3_percent := 3
strategy_settings.tp3_percent_fix := 20
strategy_settings.tp4_percent := 4
strategy_settings.tp4_percent_fix := 10
strategy_settings.fixed_stop := false
strategy_settings.sl_percent := 0.0
"UNIVERSAL" =>
strategy_settings.sensitivity := 20
strategy_settings.risk_percent := 1
strategy_settings.break_even_target := "1"
strategy_settings.tp1_percent := 1
strategy_settings.tp1_percent_fix := 40
strategy_settings.tp2_percent := 2
strategy_settings.tp2_percent_fix := 30
strategy_settings.tp3_percent := 3
strategy_settings.tp3_percent_fix := 20
strategy_settings.tp4_percent := 4
strategy_settings.tp4_percent_fix := 10
strategy_settings.fixed_stop := false
strategy_settings.sl_percent := 0.0
"SOL 5m" =>
strategy_settings.sensitivity := 15
strategy_settings.risk_percent := 1
strategy_settings.break_even_target := "1"
strategy_settings.tp1_percent := 1
strategy_settings.tp1_percent_fix := 40
strategy_settings.tp2_percent := 2
strategy_settings.tp2_percent_fix := 30
strategy_settings.tp3_percent := 3
strategy_settings.tp3_percent_fix := 20
strategy_settings.tp4_percent := 4
strategy_settings.tp4_percent_fix := 10
strategy_settings.fixed_stop := false
strategy_settings.sl_percent := 0.0
strategy_settings
// STRATS
Now let's find this code:
strategy_input = input.string(title = "STRATEGY", options = , defval = "MANUAL", tooltip = "EN:\nTo manually configure the strategy, select MANUAL otherwise, changing the settings won't have any effect\nRU:\nЧтобы настроить стратегию вручную, выберите MANUAL в противном случае изменение настроек не будет иметь никакого эффекта")
And let's add our new strategy there, it turned out like this:
strategy_input = input.string(title = "STRATEGY", options = , defval = "MANUAL", tooltip = "EN:\nTo manually configure the strategy, select MANUAL otherwise, changing the settings won't have any effect\nRU:\nЧтобы настроить стратегию вручную, выберите MANUAL в противном случае изменение настроек не будет иметь никакого эффекта")
That's all. Our new strategy is now saved! It's simple! Now we can select it in the list of strategies:

💠 ABOUT THE SCRIPT
💎 DISPLAY
⚬ The following things are displayed by default on the chart
🔸 Live patterns in trade with XABCD labels. (filled major triangle)
🔸 Entry, Stop and Target levels on chart for all live patterns. Target level are dimmed along with reducing size when they become irrelevant
🔸 Open Trades Stat table - Show patterns ID, patterns name, status for patterns, size&age, Entry, I.Stop, T.Stop and Targets (TP1 - TP4).
⚬ Highlighted present stop (and/or trailing stop if is enabled) and next target
⚬ When there are multiple patterns on chart, Entry, Stop, and Target labels & lines & PRZ* boxes are created with specific distance from each other to provide clarity to the users
*(potential reversal zone)
⬜ SETTINGS
⚬ Let's talk about some of the settings. Almost all of these settings have already been optimized and tested over time, but for some tickers it might be better to do a new test.
💎 ZIGZAG
🔸 Length - Default is set to 8. User can change settings but it is a good idea to keep with fibonacci (5, 13, 21, 34, 55 etc)
🔸 Depth - This setting is for how many pivots indicator scan to find harmonic pattern. By default it is set as 200
🔸 Recursive Algorithm - Enabled will use recursive instead standard zigzag
💎 HARMONIC PATTERN SETTINGS
🔸 Trade Direction - Default is set to show all (bearish and bullish) harmonic patterns. Can be filtered to bullish or bearish direction.
🔸 Error Percent - Default is 8. That is error percent tolerance from perfect pattern ratio.
🔸 Maximum patterns - Maximum patterns allowed on chart at any time
⚬ When it reaches the maximum patterns and the indicator finds a new one, the old patterns will be removed
- (important for algo traders because alerts for those removed patterns will no longer be a trigger)
🔸 Pattern size
⚬ Without filter will show all patterns (regardless of size)
⚬ Show only patterns for user preference size (no more two patterns because is smaller of 280 bars)
🔸 External Filter - It can be used to filter harmonic patterns. You can build your own custom trend based scripts and use it with AHP to filter trades.
⚬ The structure of the external script must be
1 for Long/Bullish patterns
-1 for Short/Bearish patterns
2 for all (Long and Short patterns)
0 Trade is not allowed
🔸 Filter Pattern Starts
⚬ When Filter starts is enabled pattern will start for logical pivot (see example)
⚬ Disabled filter will show more patterns (still can be very profitable)
💎 STOP & ENTRY & TRAILING STOP
🔸 Trail Entry Price - If Entry is still not reached and the price is still in PRZ zone, at the new high/low will adjust Entry.
⚬ Open Stats table will show the first Entry (when patterns were found) as well as the last corrected Entry (when patterns reached Entry level).
⚬ Disable this option Entry will remain at the level when patterns are found.
🔸 Enable Targets (awaiting entry) - enabled will show potential Targets for "awaiting entry" patterns (not active patterns because they have not yet reached Entry).
⚬ The Open stats table will show all other information, risk %, R:R etc).
⚬ Risky trade but with very good R:R (not recommended for inexperienced traders, very high risk of trading hitting Stop before reaching a Target)
🔸 Stop Distance - By default is set to 5. That is percent from the last low/high when the pattern reaches Entry. Stop trail from price till pattern reached Entry level.
🔸 Entry Distance - By default is set to 16. Same for SL that is percent distance from live price. You can increase/decrease percent but remember you have to give space between live price and the entry.
⚬ If entry is close to price, trade will become active too quickly
⚬ Remember if you change Stop Distance as well as Entry Distance to check Risk : Reward (recommended R:R for the first target is about 1:1)
🔸 Trailing Type - Options for trailing type, Continuous, Stepped, Breakeven and Disabled.
⚬ Continuous - When the price reaches "Trailing Active" (initial level for activating the trailing stop), T.Stop will start from Entry or Initial Stop (based on "Trailing Starts") and follow the price by Distance or Percent (based on "Trailing by").
- example one (trailing starts from Initial Stop when TP1 reached by distance/price on picture 1 and by percent on picture 2)
- example two (trailing starts from Entry when TP1 reached by distance/price on picture 1 and by percent on picture 2)
⚬ Stepped - when price reaches Trailing Active (initial level for activating the trailing stop), T.Stop will move to the previous level
- (If "Trailing Active" is set to Target2, then T.Stop will move to Target1 when price reached TP2)
⚬ Breakeven - when price reaches Trailing Active (initial level for activating the trailing stop), T.Stop will move to Entry and stay there the entire time for that harmonic trade
- (till reached all targets or reached T.Stop)
🔸 Trailing Active - When will the Trailing Stop be activated ("Trailing Type" must be enabled)
🔸 Trailing by - Distance or Percent
⚬ Distance - T.Stop will follow live price by initial distance
⚬ Percent - T.Stop will follow live price by initial percent

🔴 Possible Errors
⚬ If a mistake is made in the settings and, for example, TP2 is set to 0.618 ratio and TP3 is changed to 0.5 ratio
- (the larger target is set to a smaller ratio than the smaller target), a red text will appear over most charts to indicate the error.
⚬ If Trailing Type is enabled and "Trailing Active" and "Trailing Starts" are set to the same level (Entry), a red text will appear on the charts to indicate an error
- (change "Trailing Active" to a higher level, TP1, or lower "Trailing Starts " to "I.Start")
[zackdinz] Cloud EVOHi everyone, here I got new indicator for you to try and give a feedback. This indicator is detecting momentum buy or sell. This
indicator consists of :-
1. Three momentum cloud
2. Silver lining
3. Parabolic Sar
4. Signal of combination of 2 or 3 cloud
------
I explain the first one, the main indicator which is momentum cloud. This momentum cloud is detecting different buy or sell momentum at different period. Green cloud indicates buy momentum and red cloud is vice versa. The combinations of three momentums as confirmation of buy or sell momentum for perfect entry. This will be related to next component of this trading system.
------
The second one is silver lining. Without silver lining entry, maybe it may expose to fail entry. For silver lining is the yellow line that underlying at the edge of momentum cloud which indicates high probability of price to move up or down. When we find best row of green or red momentum, we need to check the present of silver lining which is the best entry for buy or sell. This silver lining also can be used for exit position.
------
The third one is Parabolic Sar. This is standard indicator that can be used to detect sideways or fail entry. Even though we find perfect combination of entry, fail probability is still there. Thus, using Parabolic Sar, we can reduce the fail entry. When we make entry, make sure the price breaks the previous formation of Parabolic Sar. If the price rejects previous formation of Parabolic Sar, it indicates price loss momentum and we can decide to exit the position.
------
The last one is the arrow signal, the arrow signal forms when three momentum cloud turn to green for buy signal or red for sell signal. Trader can easily find the best entry by using this signal. The black signal indicates exit signal where the smallest momentum turn to red or green which against our position.
------
Finally, any trading system do not have guarantee for 100% win rate. Thus, for this trading system, the concept are;-
1. Buy at high and sell at higher
2. Buy at perfect entry and sell at higher profit
3. Fail entry with low risk of lost
4. Fail entry with less lost
This is only a basic trading system. There is an extension for this trading system which has take profit signal and more entry signals. Private message me for more info. Have a nice day.

Indicates institutions bought aggressively at lower prices
Bearish Rejection Wicks:
|
|
| <- Large upper wick (rejection)
|
███ <- Small body
███
| <- Small lower wick
Indicates institutions sold aggressively at higher prices
Liquidity Grabs
Institutions often:
Push price above resistance or below support
Trigger stop losses (grab liquidity)
Reverse direction and trade the other way
Dark Pool Activity

Previous swing high or resistance
6. Best Practices {#best-practices}
✅ DO's:
1. Use Multiple Timeframes
Check higher timeframe for trend direction
Trade signals that align with higher timeframe
Example: 15m signals in direction of 1H trend
2. Combine with Key Levels
Support/resistance
Supply/demand zones
Previous day high/low
Round numbers (psychological levels)
3. Wait for Confirmation
Don't rush into trades
Let the signal candle close
Watch next candle for follow-through
4. Check the Metrics Table
Look at Relative Volume (should be >2.0)
Check Delta % (should be strong positive/negative)
Verify Order Flow aligns with signal
5. Consider Market Context
News events can override signals
Low liquidity times (lunch, overnight) less reliable
Major economic releases need caution
6. Paper Trade First
Test the indicator for 2-4 weeks
Learn how it behaves on your chosen assets
Develop confidence before using real money
Best Times to Trade:
Stock Market Hours:
9:30-11:30 AM EST (high volume, strong moves)
2:00-4:00 PM EST (institutional positioning)
Avoid: 11:30 AM-2:00 PM (lunch, low volume)
Forex:
London Open: 3:00-6:00 AM EST
New York Open: 8:00-11:00 AM EST
London/NY Overlap: 8:00 AM-12:00 PM EST
Crypto:
24/7 market, but highest volume during US/European hours
Watch for weekend low liquidity
7. Common Mistakes to Avoid {#mistakes}
❌ DON'T:
1. Trade Every Signal
Not all signals are equal
Focus on strength 4-5 signals
Wait for optimal setups
2. Ignore Market Structure
Don't buy into strong downtrends (catch falling knife)
Don't sell into strong uptrends (fight the tape)
Respect major support/resistance
3. Use Too Small Timeframes
1m and 2m charts are too noisy
Minimum recommended: 5m for scalping
Better: 15m, 30m, 1H for reliability
4. Overtrade
Quality over quantity
2-5 good trades per day is excellent
Forcing trades leads to losses
5. Ignore Risk Management
Always use stop losses
Risk only 1-2% per trade
Don't revenge trade after losses
6. Trade During Low Volume
Signals less reliable with low volume
Check Relative Volume metric (should be >1.5)
Avoid pre-market/after-hours for stocks
7. Misread Liquidity Grabs
Not every wick is a liquidity grab
Need volume confirmation
Must have institutional signal
Advanced Tips:
Filtering False Signals:
Use Signal Strength Filter:
Minimum strength 3 = Balanced
Minimum strength 4 = Conservative (recommended)
Minimum strength 5 = Ultra conservative
Confluence Checklist:
Signal strength ≥ 4
Relative volume > 2.0
At key support/resistance
Aligns with higher timeframe trend
Delta % strongly positive/negative
Clean price action setup
If 4+ boxes checked = High probability trade
Setting Up Alerts:
Click the three dots on the indicator
Select "Create Alert"
Choose condition:
"Institutional Buy Signal"
"Institutional Sell Signal"
"Dark Pool Activity"
Set up notification (email, SMS, app)
Save alert
Alert Strategy:
Set minimum strength to 4 for fewer, better alerts
Use for assets you can't watch constantly
Don't rely solely on alerts - check chart context
Practice Exercise:
Week 1-2: Observation
Add indicator to your favorite assets
Watch how signals develop
Note which ones lead to profitable moves
Don't trade yet - just observe
Week 3-4: Paper Trading
Use TradingView's paper trading
Trade only strength 4-5 signals
Record results in a journal
Note: entry, exit, profit/loss, what worked/didn't
Week 5+: Small Live Positions
Start with smallest position size
Trade only your best setups

Gabriel's Squeeze Momentum📊 Gabriel’s Squeeze Momentum — Deluxe Volatility + Momentum Suite
An advanced, all-in-one squeeze & momentum framework that times volatility compression/expansion and trend shifts, with optional CVD (cumulative volume delta) momentum, ATR zone context, Discontinued Signal Lines (DSL) scalps, Colored DMI trend label, Williams VIX Fix (WVF) low-volatility exhaustion pings, Buff’s VTTI/VPCI volume confirmation, and real-time divergence detection.
What it does:
Discover Squeezes. They occur when volatility contracts, often preceding significant price moves.
Measures momentum with a fast, ATR-normalized linear regression—optionally on Price or CVD—so you see direction and “how hard it’s pushing.”
🧭 Signal Legend ~ Colors the squeeze so you instantly know regime:
🟡 / 🟣 (Tight/Very Tight): Coiled spring; prepare a plan.
🔴 / ⚫ = (Regular/Wide): Watch for Divergences between Price and Momentum.
🟢 (Fired): Expansion started; trade with momentum cross and bias.
Adds context bands at ±1/±2/±3 ATR (“trend / expansion / OB-OS”) to filter late or weak signals.
DSL (Discontinued Signal Lines) give early scalp flips on momentum vs. adaptive bands.
DMI label & triangles communicate trend strength and whether +DI / −DI is in control.
Williams VIX Fix flags capitulation/exhaustion style spikes (with optional VIX proxy).
VTTI/VPCI modules confirm when volume aligns with price trend or contradicts it.
Divergences (regular & hidden) auto-draw with optional live (may repaint) or on-close.
🎢 Squeeze Momentum — How the Logic Works 🎢
The Squeeze Momentum model is built on the principle of volatility compression and expansion. In markets, periods of low volatility are often followed by explosive moves, while high volatility eventually contracts. The “squeeze” seeks to identify these compression phases and prepare traders for the likely expansion that follows.
This indicator achieves that by comparing Bollinger Bands (BB) to Keltner Channels (KC).
Bands: Bollinger vs. Keltner
Bollinger Bands (BB): Calculated using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of price and standard deviations (σ) of the closing price. The bands expand and contract depending on volatility.
Keltner Channels (KC): Built from an SMA plus/minus multiples of the Average True Range (ATR). Unlike some simplified squeeze indicators that approximate ATR, this implementation uses a true ATR-based KC, ensuring accuracy across different assets and timeframes.
By comparing whether the Bollinger Bands are inside or outside the Keltner Channels, the indicator identifies different squeeze regimes, each representing a distinct volatility environment.
📦 Regime Colors
The squeeze states are color-coded for quick interpretation:
🔹Wide Squeeze (⚫): BB inside KC with a high ATR multiplier. Extremely low volatility, often before major expansion.
🔹Normal Squeeze (🔴): BB inside KC with a moderate ATR multiplier (about 25% more sensitive than Wide). Typical compression setting.
🔹Narrow Squeeze (🟡): BB inside KC with a lower ATR multiplier (about 50% more sensitive than Wide). Signals tighter compression.
🔹Very Narrow Squeeze (🟣): BB inside KC with the lowest ATR multiplier (100% more sensitive than Wide). Indicates extreme coiling.
🔹Fired Squeeze (🟢): BB break outside KC. Marks the release of volatility and potential trend acceleration.
This multi-layered system improves upon classical SQZPRO by using precisely calculated Keltner Channels and multiple sensitivity levels, giving traders more granular information about volatility states.
🔒 Multi-Timeframe Support
The indicator automatically adjusts squeeze thresholds for different timeframes — hourly, 4-hour, daily, weekly, and monthly charts. Each regime has been manually tuned for its timeframe, allowing traders to use the same tool whether scalping, swing trading, or holding longer-term positions.
🎯 Momentum Core
Detecting a squeeze is only half the equation — the indicator also includes a momentum engine to determine direction and strength.
Price momentum is measured as the distance of Close from its Highest High and Lowest Low range, smoothed with a Simple Moving Average, and refined with Linear Regression.
This value is then divided by ATR, normalizing momentum relative to volatility.
Optionally, CVD Mode (Cumulative Volume Delta ÷ Volume) can replace price momentum for assets where order-flow and volume dynamics dominate (e.g., crypto).
🦆 Signal Line
Momentum is paired with a Simple Moving Average signal line:
🔹Bullish: Momentum > Signal.
🔹Bearish: Momentum < Signal.
This crossover logic provides directional bias and filters for false squeezes.
🚀 When to Use Price vs. CVD
CVD Mode (Crypto, FX with tick volume): Best for assets with strong volume/order-flow signals.
Price Mode (Equities, Commodities, Higher TFs): Best for assets with irregular or thin volume data.
🛢️ATR Zones (context filter) 🛢️
Its design is straightforward yet effective: it measures the difference between the current price from its highest highs, lowest lows, and a moving average over a chosen period, then expresses that difference in terms of the Average True Range (ATR) over the same period. By normalizing price deviations against volatility, ATR provides a clear sense of how far and how fast price is moving relative to its “normal” range.
Interpreting the Zone
Positive Values: When it is above zero, price is trading above its HH, LL, and moving average, suggesting bullish momentum. The higher the value, the stronger the momentum relative to volatility.
Negative Values: When the Momentum is below zero, price is trading below its HH, LL, and moving average, signaling bearish momentum. The deeper the reading, the stronger the downside pressure.
Magnitude Matters: Because the Momentum is expressed in ATR units, traders can immediately gauge whether the move is small (less than 1 ATR), moderate (1–2 ATRs), or extreme (3+ ATRs). This makes it especially useful for assessing overbought or oversold conditions in a normalized way.
Strengths:
🔹Volatility-Normalized: Unlike simple squeeze momentum oscillators that have different OB/OS levels, this Momentum adjusts for volatility. This makes signals more consistent across assets with different volatility profiles.
🔹Simplicity:
±1 ATR: trending zone (bulls above +1, bears below −1)
±2 ATR: expansion (keep, add, or trail). Stretch/risk of mean reversion.
±3 ATR: potential exhaustion/mean-revert zone.
🔹Momentum Clarity: By framing momentum in ATR terms, it is easier to distinguish between a small deviation from trend and a genuinely significant move. Sometimes it is a good sign that it trend to ±3/2 ATR, looks for similar directional moves.
Color: The script shades +2/+3 (OB) and −2/−3 (OS) areas and provides swing alerts at ±1 ATR.
💚 What Are Discontinued Signal Lines (DSL)? 💚
In technical analysis, one of the most common tools for smoothing out noisy data is the signal line. This concept appears in many indicators, such as the MACD or stochastic oscillator, where the raw value of an indicator is compared to a smoothed version of itself. The signal line acts as a lagging filter, making it easier to identify shifts in momentum, crossovers, and directional changes.
While useful, the classic signal line approach has limitations. By design, a single smoothed line introduces lag, which means traders may receive signals later than ideal. Additionally, a one-size-fits-all smoothing process often struggles to adapt to different levels of volatility or rapidly changing market conditions.
This is where Discontinued Signal Lines (DSL) come in. DSL is an advanced extension of the traditional signal line concept. Instead of relying on just one smoothed comparison, DSL employs multiple adaptive lines that adjust dynamically to the current state of the indicator. These adaptive lines effectively “discontinue” the dependence on a single, fixed smoothing method, producing a more flexible and nuanced representation of market conditions.
How DSL Works?
Traditional Signal Line: Compares an the Momentum against its own moving average. Provides crossover signals when the raw indicator value moves above or below the smoothed line.
Strength: reduces noise. Weakness: delayed signals and limited adaptability.
DSL Extension: Uses multiple adaptive lines that respond differently to the indicator’s current behavior. Instead of one static moving average, the DSL approach creates faster and slower “reaction lines.” These lines adapt dynamically, capturing acceleration or deceleration in the indicator’s state.
Result: Traders see how momentum is evolving across multiple adaptive thresholds. This reduces false signals and improves responsiveness in volatile conditions.
Benefits of Discontinued Signal Lines
🔹Nuanced Trend Detection
DSL doesn’t just flag when momentum changes direction—it shows the quality of that shift, highlighting whether it is gaining strength, losing steam, or consolidating.
🔹Adaptability Across Markets
Because DSL adjusts to the Momentum’s own dynamics, it works well across different asset classes and timeframes, from equities and futures to forex and crypto.
🔹Earlier Signal Recognition
Multiple adaptive lines allow traders to spot developing trends earlier than with a single smoothed signal line, without being overwhelmed by raw indicator noise.
🔹Better Confirmation
DSL is particularly useful for confirmation. If both adaptive lines agree then a fill is applied in the direction, confidence in the trend is higher as the color turns bull/bear.
🔹Practical Uses
Momentum Trading: Spot acceleration or deceleration in trend strength.
Trend Confirmation: Verify whether a breakout has momentum behind it.
Noise Filtering: Smooth out erratic moves while retaining adaptability.
⚖️ Colored Directional Movement Index (CDMI) ⚖️
The Directional Movement Index (DMI), created by J. Welles Wilder, is one of the most respected trend-following indicators in technical analysis. It is actually a family of three separate indicators combined into one: the +DI (Positive Directional Indicator), the –DI (Negative Directional Indicator), and the ADX (Average Directional Index). Together, they measure not only whether the market is trending but also the strength of that trend. Traders have used the DMI for decades to identify trend direction, gauge momentum, and filter out periods of market noise.
However, despite its reliability, the traditional DMI can be challenging to interpret. Reading three separate lines at once and extracting meaningful signals requires both experience and careful observation. This complexity often discourages newer traders from fully utilizing its power.
The Colored Directional Movement Index (CDMI) is a modern reinterpretation of Wilder’s classic tool. It condenses the same information into a single visual line while using color, shape, and density to communicate what’s happening beneath the surface. The goal is simple: make the DMI’s insights faster to read, easier to act upon, and more intuitive to integrate into trading decisions.
Key Features of CDMI
🔹Color Scale for Trend Strength
The main triangle changes its base color depending on the strength of the DI reading. Dark Red or Green, colors correspond to stronger trends, while faded Gray or lighter yellow tones signal weaker or fading trends. This makes it visually clear when the market is consolidating versus trending strongly.
🔹Color Density for Momentum
Beyond strength, the CDMI uses color density to represent momentum in the trend’s strength. If the ADX is rising (trend gaining momentum), the triangles grows more darker. If the ADX is falling (trend losing momentum), the triangle becomes paler. This provides an instant sense of whether a trend is accelerating or decelerating.
🔹Directional Triangles for Trend Direction
To replace the separate +DI and –DI lines, the CDMI plots small triangle shapes along the bottom axis. An upward-facing triangle indicates that +DI is dominant, confirming bullish direction. A downward-facing triangle signals –DI dominance, confirming bearish direction. This way, both strength and direction are shown without the clutter of multiple overlapping lines.
🔹Label Display for Detailed Values
For traders who want precise data alongside the visuals, CDMI includes a label that shows:
Current trend strength (ADX value).
Current +DI and –DI values.
Momentum status of the ADX (rising or falling).
Historical values of DMI readings, so traders can track how the indicator has evolved over time.
Tooltips are also available to explain “How to read the colored DMI line”, making this version more beginner-friendly.
Why CDMI Matters
The CDMI retains the proven reliability of Wilder’s DMI while solving its biggest drawback—interpretation difficulty. Instead of juggling three separate plots, traders get a single, information-rich line supplemented with intuitive shapes and labels. This streamlined format makes trend verification, momentum analysis, and signal confirmation much faster.
For trading applications, the CDMI can help:
Confirm Entries by showing whether the market is trending strongly enough to justify a position.
Avoid False Signals by filtering out periods of low ADX (weak trend).
Enhance Timing by tracking momentum shifts in trend strength.
By simplifying the complexity of the original DMI into an elegant, color-coded tool, the CDMI makes one of technical analysis’ most advanced indicators practical for everyday use.
😅 The VIX, the Williams Vix Fix, and Market Bottoms 😎
The VIX, formally known as the CBOE Volatility Index, has long been considered one of the most reliable indicators for spotting major market bottoms. Often referred to as the “fear gauge,” it measures the market’s expectation of volatility in the S&P 500 over the next 30 days. When fear grips investors and volatility spikes, the VIX rises sharply. Historically, these moments of extreme fear often coincide with powerful buying opportunities, as markets have a tendency to rebound once panic selling exhausts itself.
Larry Williams, a well-known trader and author, developed the Williams Vix Fix as a way to replicate the insights of the VIX across any tradable asset. While the VIX itself is tied specifically to S&P 500 options, Williams wanted a tool that could capture similar panic-driven dynamics in stocks, futures, forex, and other markets where the VIX is not directly applicable. His “fix” uses price action and volatility formulas to approximate the same emotional extremes reflected in the official VIX, creating almost identical results in practice. This makes the Williams Vix Fix a powerful addition to the trader’s toolbox, allowing the same principle that works on U.S. equities to be applied universally.
One of the most important characteristics of both the VIX and the Williams Vix Fix is that they are far more reliable at signaling market bottoms than market tops. The reason is psychological as much as it is mathematical. At market bottoms, fear and panic are widespread. Retail investors often capitulate, selling in a frenzy as prices drop. This panic drives volatility higher, producing the spikes we see in the VIX. At the same time, professional traders and institutions—those with larger capital and more disciplined strategies—tend to step in when volatility is stretched. They buy when others are fearful, using the panic of retail investors as an opportunity to acquire assets at discounted prices. This confluence of retail panic and institutional buying power is what makes the VIX such a strong bottom-finding tool.
In contrast, at market tops, the dynamic is very different. Tops tend not to be marked by panic or fear. Instead, they form quietly as enthusiasm fades, liquidity dries up, and buying interest wanes. Investors are often complacent, assuming prices will continue to rise, while professional money begins distributing their positions. Because there is no surge in fear, volatility remains muted, and the VIX does not offer a clear warning. This is why traders who rely on the VIX or the Williams Vix Fix must understand its limitations: it is exceptional for detecting bottoms but less useful for anticipating tops.
For traders, the lesson is straightforward. When you see the VIX or Williams Vix Fix spiking to extreme levels, it often indicates a high-probability environment for a rebound. These tools should not be used in isolation, but when combined with support levels, sentiment indicators, and market breadth, they can provide some of the most reliable bottom-fishing signals available. While no indicator is perfect, few have stood the test of time as consistently as the VIX—and thanks to Williams’ adaptation, its power can now be applied to nearly every market.
Indicator Signals (Great in risk-off charts):
🔹Flags spike events (tops/bottoms) with both original and filtered (AE/FE) criteria.
🔹Great as a risk overlay: tighten stops into AE/FE, or require “no spike” to enter.
🤯 Volume Comfirmation: VTTI & VPCI (Buff Dormeier) 🤯
Volume Trend Technical Indicator (VTTI)
The Volume Trend Technical Indicator (VTTI) is a momentum-style tool that analyzes how volume trends interact with price movement. Unlike basic volume measures that simply report how many shares or contracts were traded, the VTTI evaluates whether volume is expanding or contracting in the same direction as the prevailing price trend. The underlying logic is that healthy trends are supported by rising volume, while weakening trends often occur on shrinking volume.
At its core, VTTI looks at the rate of change in volume compared to price movements. By smoothing and normalizing these relationships, the indicator helps traders determine whether momentum is accelerating, decelerating, or diverging.
Rising VTTI: Suggests that volume is confirming the current price trend, strengthening the case for continuation. Flips BG Green after crossing it's signal.
Falling VTTI: Indicates that the trend may be losing participation, often a sign of possible consolidation or reversal. Flips BG Red after crossing it's signal.
Traders often use VTTI to filter entries and exits. For example, if price breaks out but VTTI does not rise above zero, the breakout may lack conviction. On the other hand, when both price and VTTI are aligned, probability of continuation improves.
Volume Price Confirmation Indicator (VPCI)
The Volume Price Confirmation Indicator (VPCI), developed by Buff Dormeier, takes the relationship between price and volume a step further. While traditional indicators like On-Balance Volume (OBV) or Chaikin Money Flow look at cumulative patterns, VPCI breaks price and volume into trend and volatility components and then recombines them to measure how well they confirm each other.
In essence, VPCI asks: “Does volume confirm what price is signaling?”
The formula integrates:
Price Trend Component – whether the market is trending upward or downward.
Volume Trend Component – whether trading activity supports that price trend.
Volatility Adjustments – to account for irregular swings.
The resulting oscillator fluctuates around a zero line:
Positive VPCI: Indicates that price and volume trends are in agreement (bullish confirmation).
Negative VPCI: Suggests that price and volume are diverging (bearish warning or false move).
Crossovers of Zero: Can serve as potential buy or sell signals, depending on context.
A key strength of VPCI is its sensitivity to divergence. When prices continue rising but VPCI begins falling, it often foreshadows a weakening rally. Conversely, a rising VPCI during a flat or down market can highlight early accumulation.
VTTI (Entry Signal) vs. VPCI (Exit Signal)
While both indicators study price-volume dynamics, their focus differs:
VTTI is simpler, emphasizing the trend of volume relative to price for momentum confirmation.
VPCI is more advanced, decomposing both price and volume into multiple components to produce a nuanced oscillator.
Used together, they provide complementary insights. VTTI helps quickly spot whether volume is supporting a move, while VPCI offers deeper confirmation and highlights subtle divergences.
Note: The Up/Down Volume Alert works better on the 4 HR, for Daily scalps or 30 minute for HR scalps. Intraday it's 2/10 minute.
🦅 Divergence toolkit 🦅
Divergences in Technical Analysis
Divergence occurs when the price action of an asset moves in one direction while a technical indicator, such as RSI, MACD, or Momentum, moves in the opposite direction. This disagreement between price and indicator often signals a shift in underlying market dynamics. Traders use divergences to anticipate either potential reversals or continuations in trends.
There are two main types of divergences: regular divergences, which typically precede reversals, and hidden divergences, which suggest continuation of the current trend.
Regular Divergence (Reversal Signals)
A regular divergence occurs when price and indicator disagree during a trend extension. These divergences signal that momentum is no longer fully supporting the current trend and that a reversal may be imminent.
🔹Regular Bullish Divergence
Price Action: Forms a lower low.
Indicator: Forms a higher low.
Interpretation: Price is making new lows, but the indicator is gaining strength. This suggests that selling pressure is weakening, and a reversal to the upside may occur.
Example: RSI rising while price dips to fresh lows.
🔹Regular Bearish Divergence
Price Action: Forms a higher high.
Indicator: Forms a lower high.
Interpretation: Price is reaching new highs, but the indicator shows weakening momentum. This implies that buying pressure is fading, warning of a potential downside reversal.
Example: MACD histogram falling while price makes higher highs.
Regular divergences are often spotted near the end of trends and are most powerful when aligned with key support/resistance levels or overbought/oversold conditions.
Hidden Divergence (Continuation Signals)
A hidden divergence occurs during retracements within a trend. Unlike regular divergences, hidden divergences suggest that the prevailing trend still has strength and is likely to continue.
🔹Hidden Bullish Divergence
Price Action: Forms a higher low.
Indicator: Forms a lower low.
Interpretation: Price is retracing within an uptrend, but the indicator is overshooting downward. This shows that momentum remains intact, supporting continuation upward.
🔹Hidden Bearish Divergence
Price Action: Forms a lower high.
Indicator: Forms a higher high.
Interpretation: Price is retracing within a downtrend, while the indicator overshoots upward. This indicates that bearish momentum remains strong, supporting continuation downward.
Hidden divergences often appear during pullbacks, helping traders time entries in the direction of the prevailing trend.
Practical Use of Divergences
🔹Trend Reversal Alerts – Regular divergences are early warnings that a trend may be ending.
🔹Trend Continuation Signals – Hidden divergences help confirm that retracements are simply pauses, not full reversals.
🔹Confluence with Other Tools – Divergences are more reliable when combined with support/resistance, candlestick patterns, or volume analysis.
🔹Multi-Timeframe Analysis – Spotting divergences on higher timeframes often produces stronger signals.

Practical playbook
1) Classic Squeeze Break
Setup: 🔴(D)/🟡(2D)/🟣(3D) squeeze → wait for 🟢(1HR) Fired.
Confirm: Momentum > Signal and above +1 ATR (or DMI strong & rising).
Manage: add on pullbacks that hold +1 ATR; scale near +2 ATR or WVF AE/FE.
2) DSL Scalp in Trend
Setup: Clear trend (DMI strong) + DSL bull/bear trigger in the direction of trend.
Filter: avoid tight/very tight yellow/purple unless you want micro-scalps.
Exit: opposite DSL or ATR midline loss.
3) Mean-Reversion Fade
Setup: Momentum extended to ±3 ATR, WVF spike, and a regular divergence.
Entry: Counter signal only when mom crosses back through ±3 ATR toward mid. Exit early if squeeze ⚫/🔴, Momentum may extend to ±3/2 ATR in the same direction.
Risk: reduce size; this is a fade, not trend following.
4) Volume-Confirmed Breakout
Setup: Squeeze → 🟢 Fired + VPCI > 0 and VTTI up → trend continuation.
Manage: trail behind +1 ATR (long) or −1 ATR (short). 9 SMA works good.

Intraday (60–240m): σ = 2.0, 18~20, 3~5, DSL Fast, DMI key 23, weak 17.
Daily/Weekly: keep σ = 2.0, consider DSL Slow, DMI key 25, weak 20, widen ATR filters; lean on VPCI/VTTI (4-HR).
CVD mode: use where tick/volume quality is high (index futures, liquid equities, crypto majors).
🪟 Tips & caveats
Swing Screener: Favor liquid underlyings (index futures/ETFs, large caps). Large-Cap, 2 M Vol, Mid-Cap, 500K Vol. Squeeze: BB( 20) upper < KC (20) upper, and BB (20) lower > KC (20) lower. Optional: Price above 9 SMA, 21 SMA, and 50 SMA, they are my SMA of choice. 200 SMA too, unless you are willing to fish in a bear market. Vice-versa for shorts. Optional: ADX 4 HR > 17, or 23 depending on what you are looking for.
Scalp Screener: Same as above, change the D 9 SMA to 5, and the BB/KC from D to 1 HR. Scalps may last 2~3 days.
Position Screener: Change all daily setting to W, aside from Volume. Optional: PEG < 1.5, FCF > 0, ROA > 8% or ROE > 6%.
Good with Moving averages (9/21/50) and low-volume zones.
Position size by IV, ATR, and account risk. Consider stop/hedge rules around ±2/±3 ATR.
Let alerts stage your watchlist; act only on combined squeeze + momentum signals.
Divergences in live mode can repaint (Real-Time); for algo or alerts, use on-close.
Tight/Very tight squeezes are great for scalps but choppy; combine with DMI rising + VPCI>0.
±3 ATR is exhaustion context, not an auto-fade—look for WVF/Div/DSL confirmation.
For alerts, pair “Fired Squeeze + Bullish Swing” (or bearish) to avoid false starts.
🎯 How to Trade Entry ~ Recap:
Tight/very tight squeeze → fires → momentum crosses up (or DSL bull).
Exit/Flip: Momentum crosses down into/after expansion or hits +2/+3 ATR with fade signs. Filter: Avoid fresh longs at +3 ATR; avoid fresh shorts at −3 ATR unless fading with confirmation.
📐 Options Integrations
✅ Risk Reversal/Modified Risk Reversal (Bullish: Short Put + Long Call)
Use when: Squeeze fires up from 🟡/🟣 and momentum crosses above signal (or zero/DSL).
Playbook Entry: On or just after the bullish fire and momentum upcross. DMI or Volume supports trend as well.
Structure: Sell a put at/just below the −2 ATR reference (or recent swing support). Buy a call at/above the breakout zone (prior high/mid-range +1 to +2 ATR).
A classic risk reversal is a long call plus a short put. That’s a very bullish structure—you gain if the price rallies (via the call), and you collect a premium by selling a put. But it has a naked downside risk. The modified risk reversal fixes that by adding a long lower put (making the short put into a defined put credit spread).
Management: If momentum stays above signal, ride toward +2 → +3 ATR. Sell the put near the current price → receive big premium. Buy the lower put → spend part of that premium (risk cap). Buy the call above the current price → spend more, but the short put premium mostly pays for it.
Exits/Adjust: Momentum downcross or squeeze flips back on (new compression) → reduce. If price retests −1/−2 ATR and holds, you can roll the short put down/out.
Breakout = Big Success; No Breakout = you keep the initial credit. Reversal = Max loss is capped by the long lower put.
✅ Iron Condor (Neutral: Short OTM Put Spread + Short OTM Call Spread)
Use when: Squeeze is active (🟡/🟣), momentum is flat near zero, and there is no directional edge. 🟢 lasts for around 5~8 bars typically. I measure the historical duration of it, and wait for a range period to occur.
Playbook Entry: During compression, set wings outside ±2 ATR (or recent range extremes). I prefer identifying boxes where the rectangle pattern occurs on the chart.
Management: Time decay works while price remains trapped in the coil. High-winrate ~80%, but 1 loser can wipe most of the gains.
Exits/Adjust: If a squeeze fires and momentum breaks hard one way, close the losing side, consider converting to a vertical or rotating to a directional spread aligned with momentum.
4HR-Bullish, closing one wing:
Tip: Align daily/weekly context with your intraday entries. 9 > 50 on Weekly, similar on Daily. Sell premium into compression; switch to directional spreads on expansion and momentum confirmation.
✅ Naked Call/Puts (Directional: 10~30 Delta Calls)
Stick to naked calls and puts when the squeezes are fired from either 🔴 or ⚫.
Look for Strikes slightly out of the money with an OI and Volume spread less than <10%.
If Strike Date is >45, manage 21 Days before expiration. Scalp: Expiration Strikes of 1/4 of the Squeeze period. Leap: Expiration Strikes of 1.75x of the Squeeze period.
📐 Futures Integrations
Playbook Entry:
Verify if the squeeze on the hourly is red or green, and enter on the 2- or 5-minute during a similar squeeze state.
Trend-Following: Traditional 2 Renko Block above 21 SMA and Momentum is bullish, or vice versa. (2~ES, 5~NQ)
Structure: Go long at/just below the ATR reference (or recent swing support). Exit below the breakout zone (prior high/mid-range +1 to +2 ATR).
Management: If momentum stays above +1 ATR ride toward +2 → +3 ATR, etc. House-money, should be kept.
Exits/Adjust: Momentum downcross or squeeze flips back on (new compression) → exit. On Renko Charts, lower the sensitivity to 0.7~1. If price retests 0/−1/−2 ATR and holds, you can enter when the 9 SMA flips. The 50 SMA is better for Daily and up; I wouldn't trade against it then.

Dual Volume Profiles: Session + Rolling (Range Delineation)Dual Volume Profiles: Session + Rolling (Range Delineation)
INTRO
This is a probability-centric take on volume profile. I treat the volume histogram as an empirical PDF over price, updated in real time, which makes multi-modality (multiple acceptance basins) explicit rather than assumed away. The immediate benefit is operational: if we can read the shape of the distribution, we can infer likely reversion levels (POC), acceptance boundaries (VAH/VAL), and low-friction corridors (LVNs).
My working hypothesis is that what traders often label “fat tails” or “power-law behavior” at short horizons is frequently a tail-conditioned view of a higher-level Gaussian regime. In other words, child distributions (shorter periodicities) sit within parent distributions (longer periodicities); when price operates in the parent’s tail, the child regime looks heavy-tailed without being fundamentally non-Gaussian. This is consistent with a hierarchical/mixture view and with the spirit of the central limit theorem—Gaussian structure emerges at aggregate scales, while local scales can look non-Gaussian due to nesting and conditioning.
This indicator operationalizes that view by plotting two nested empirical PDFs: a rolling (local) profile and a session-anchored profile. Their confluence makes ranges explicit and turns “regime” into something you can see. For additional nesting, run multiple instances with different lookbacks. When using the default settings combined with a separate daily VP, you effectively get three nested distributions (local → session → daily) on the chart.
This indicator plots two nested distributions side-by-side:
Rolling (Local) Profile — short-window, prorated histogram that “breathes” with price and maps the immediate auction.
Session Anchored Profile — cumulative distribution since the current session start (Premkt → RTH → AH anchoring), revealing the parent regime.
Use their confluence to identify range floors/ceilings, mean-reversion magnets, and low-volume “air pockets” for fast traverses.
What it shows
POC (dashed): central tendency / “magnet” (highest-volume bin).
VAH & VAL (solid): acceptance boundaries enclosing an exact Value Area % around each profile’s POC.
Volume histograms:
Rolling can auto-color by buy/sell dominance over the lookback (green = buying ≥ selling, red = selling > buying).
Session uses a fixed style (blue by default).
Session anchoring (exchange timezone):
Premarket → anchors at 00:00 (midnight).
RTH → anchors at 09:30.
After-hours → anchors at 16:00.
Session display span:
Session Max Span (bars) = 0 → draw from session start → now (anchored).
> 0 → draw a rolling window N bars back → now, while still measuring all volume since session start.
Why it’s useful
Think in terms of nested probability distributions: the rolling node is your local Gaussian; the session node is its parent.
VA↔VA overlap ≈ strong range boundary.
POC↔POC alignment ≈ reliable mean-reversion target.
LVNs (gaps) ≈ low-friction corridors—expect quick moves to the next node.
Quick start
Add to chart (great on 5–10s, 15–60s, 1–5m).
Start with: bins = 240, vaPct = 0.68, barsBack = 60.
Watch for:
First test & rejection at overlapping VALs/VAHs → fade back toward POC.
Acceptance beyond VA (several closes + growing outer-bin mass) → traverse to the next node.
Inputs (detailed)
General
Lookback Bars (Rolling)
Count of most-recent bars for the rolling/local histogram. Larger = smoother node that shifts slower; smaller = more reactive, “breathing” profile.
• Typical: 40–80 on 5–10s charts; 60–120 on 1–5m.
• If you increase this but keep Number of Bins fixed, each bin aggregates more volume (coarser bins).
Number of Bins
Vertical resolution (price buckets) for both rolling and session histograms. Higher = finer detail and crisper LVNs, but more line objects (closer to platform limits).
• Typical: 120–240 on 5–10s; 80–160 on 1–5m.
• If you hit performance or object limits, reduce this first.
Value Area %
Exact central coverage for VAH/VAL around POC. Computed empirically from the histogram (no Gaussian assumption): the algorithm expands from POC outward until the chosen % is enclosed.
• Common: 0.68 (≈“1σ-like”), 0.70 for slightly wider core.
• Smaller = tighter VA (more breakout flags). Larger = wider VA (more reversion bias).
Max Local Profile Width (px)
Horizontal length (in pixels) of the rolling bars/lines and its VA/POC overlays. Visual only (does not affect calculations).
Session Settings
RTH Start/End (exchange tz)
Defines the current session anchor (Premkt=00:00, RTH=your start, AH=your end). The session histogram always measures from the most recent session start and resets at each boundary.
Session Max Span (bars, 0 = full session)
Display window for session drawings (POC/VA/Histogram).
• 0 → draw from session start → now (anchored).
• > 0 → draw N bars back → now (rolling look), while still measuring all volume since session start.
This keeps the “parent” distribution measurable while letting the display track current action.
Local (Rolling) — Visibility
Show Local Profile Bars / POC / VAH & VAL
Toggle each overlay independently. If you approach object limits, disable bars first (POC/VA lines are lighter).
Local (Rolling) — Colors & Widths
Color by Buy/Sell Dominance
Fast uptick/downtick proxy over the rolling window (close vs open):
• Buying ≥ Selling → Bullish Color (default lime).
• Selling > Buying → Bearish Color (default red).
This color drives local bars, local POC, and local VA lines.
• Disable to use fixed Bars Color / POC Color / VA Lines Color.
Bars Transparency (0–100) — alpha for the local histogram (higher = lighter).
Bars Line Width (thickness) — draw thin-line profiles or chunky blocks.
POC Line Width / VA Lines Width — overlay thickness. POC is dashed, VAH/VAL solid by design.
Session — Visibility
Show Session Profile Bars / POC / VAH & VAL
Independent toggles for the session layer.
Session — Colors & Widths
Bars/POC/VA Colors & Line Widths
Fixed palette by design (default blue). These do not change with buy/sell dominance.
• Use transparency and width to make the parent profile prominent or subtle.
• Prefer minimal? Hide session bars; keep only session VA/POC.
Reading the signals (detailed playbook)
Core definitions
POC — highest-volume bin (fair price “magnet”).
VAH/VAL — upper/lower bounds enclosing your Value Area % around POC.
Node — contiguous block of high-volume bins (acceptance).
LVN — low-volume gap between nodes (low friction path).
Rejection vs Acceptance (practical rule)
Rejection at VA edge: 0–1 closes beyond VA and no persistent growth in outer bins.
Acceptance beyond VA: ≥3 closes beyond VA and outer-bin mass grows (e.g., added volume beyond the VA edge ≥ 5–10% of node volume over the last N bars). Treat acceptance as regime change.
Confluence scores (make boundary/target quality objective)
VA overlap strength (range boundary):
C_VA = 1 − |VA_edge_local − VA_edge_session| / ATR(n)
Values near 1.0 = tight overlap (stronger boundary).
Use: if C_VA ≥ 0.6–0.8, treat as high-quality fade zone.
POC alignment (magnet quality):
C_POC = 1 − |POC_local − POC_session| / ATR(n)
Higher C_POC = greater chance a rotation completes to that fair price.
(You can estimate these by eye.)
Setups
1) Range Fade at VA Confluence (mean reversion)
Context: Local VAL/VAH near Session VAL/VAH (tight overlap), clear node, local color not screaming trend (or flips to your side).
Entry: First test & rejection at the overlapped band (wick through ok; prefer close back inside).
Stop: A tick/pip beyond the wider of the two VA edges or beyond the nearest LVN, a small buffer zone can be used to judge whether price is truly rejecting a VAL/VAH or simply probing.
Targets: T1 node mid; T2 POC (size up when C_POC is high).
Flip: If acceptance (rule above) prints, flip bias or stand down.
2) LVN Traverse (continuation)
Context: Price exits VA and enters an LVN with acceptance and growing outer-bin volume.
Entry: Aggressive—first close into LVN; Conservative—retest of the VA edge from the far side (“kiss goodbye”).
Stop: Back inside the prior VA.
Targets: Next node’s VA edge or POC (edge = faster exits; POC = fuller rotations).
Note: Flatter VA edge (shallower curvature) tends to breach more easily.
3) POC→POC Magnet Trade (rotation completion)
Context: Local POC ≈ Session POC (high C_POC).
Entry: Fade a VA touch or pullback inside node, aiming toward the shared POC.
Stop: Past the opposite VA edge or LVN beyond.
Target: The shared POC; optional runner to opposite VA if the node is broad and time-of-day is supportive.
4) Failed Break (Reversion Snap-back)
Context: Push beyond VA fails acceptance (re-enters VA, outer-bin growth stalls/shrinks).
Entry: On the re-entry close, back toward POC.
Stop/Target: Stop just beyond the failed VA; target POC, then opposite VA if momentum persists.
How to read color & shape
Local color = most recent sentiment:
Green = buying ≥ selling; Red = selling > buying (over the rolling window). Treat as context, not a standalone signal. A green local node under a blue session VAH can still be a fade if the parent says “over-valued.”
Shape tells friction:
Fat nodes → rotation-friendly (fade edges).
Sharp LVN gaps → traversal-friendly (momentum continuation).
Time-of-day intuition
Right after session anchor (e.g., RTH 09:30): Session profile is young and moves quickly—treat confluence cautiously.
Mid-session: Cleanest behavior for rotations.
Close / news: Expect more traverses and POC migrations; tighten risk or switch playbooks.
Risk & execution guidance
Use tight, mechanical stops at/just beyond VA or LVN. If you need wide stops to survive noise, your entry is late or the node is unstable.
On micro-timeframes, account for fees & slippage—aim for targets paying ≥2–3× average cost.
If acceptance prints, don’t fight it—flip, reduce size, or stand aside.
Suggested presets
Scalp (5–10s): bins 120–240, barsBack 40–80, vaPct 0.68–0.70, local bars thin (small bar width).
Intraday (1–5m): bins 80–160, barsBack 60–120, vaPct 0.68–0.75, session bars more visible for parent context.
Performance & limits
Reuses line objects to stay under TradingView’s max_lines_count.
Very large bins × multiple overlays can still hit limits—use visibility toggles (hide bars first).
Session drawings use time-based coordinates to avoid “bar index too far” errors.
Known nuances
Rolling buy/sell dominance uses a simple uptick/downtick proxy (close vs open). It’s fast and practical, but it’s not a full tape classifier.
VA boundaries are computed from the empirical histogram—no Gaussian assumption.
This script does not calculate the full daily volume profile. Several other tools already provide that, including TradingView’s built-in Volume Profile indicators. Instead, this indicator focuses on pairing a rolling, short-term volume distribution with a session-wide distribution to make ranges more explicit. It is designed to supplement your use of standard or periodic volume profiles, not replace them. Think of it as a magnifying lens that helps you see where local structure aligns with the broader session.
How to trade it (TL;DR)
Fade overlapping VA bands on first rejection → target POC.
Continue through LVN on acceptance beyond VA → target next node’s VA/POC.
Respect acceptance: ≥3 closes beyond VA + growing outer-bin volume = regime change.
FAQ
Q: Why 68% Value Area?
A: It mirrors the “~1σ” idea, but we compute it exactly from empirical volume, not by assuming a normal distribution.
Q: Why are my profiles thin lines?
A: Increase Bars Line Width for chunkier blocks; reduce for fine, thin-line profiles.
Q: Session bars don’t reach session start—why?
A: Set Session Max Span (bars) = 0 for full anchoring; any positive value draws a rolling window while still measuring from session start.

## 🚀 Trading Strategies
### Strategy 1: Square Completion Reversal Trading
#### **Long Entry Setup**
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Bullish square completes (green box appears)
✅ Info table shows "✅ COMPLETED" status
✅ Price bounces off square's bottom edge
✅ Volume increases on bounce
✅ RSI < 30 (oversold confirmation)
ENTRY: Market buy when price breaks above square's top edge
STOP: Below square's bottom edge (-2 ATR)
TARGET: Next resistance level or 1:2 Risk/Reward
```
#### **Short Entry Setup**
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Bearish square completes (red box appears)
✅ Info table shows "✅ COMPLETED" status
✅ Price rejects square's top edge
✅ Volume increases on rejection
✅ RSI > 70 (overbought confirmation)
ENTRY: Market sell when price breaks below square's bottom edge
STOP: Above square's top edge (+2 ATR)
TARGET: Next support level or 1:2 Risk/Reward
```
### Strategy 2: Gann Angle Trend Following
#### **1x1 Angle (45°) - The Master Angle**
- **Most Important**: This is Gann's primary trend line
- **Bullish**: Price above 1x1 = uptrend intact
- **Bearish**: Price below 1x1 = downtrend intact
- **Break**: 1x1 angle break = major trend change
#### **Multi-Angle Confluence Trading**
```
STRONG BULLISH SIGNAL:
✅ Price above 1x1 angle (45°)
✅ Bouncing off 2x1 angle (support)
✅ Volume increasing
✅ Multiple angles pointing up
ENTRY: Buy on 2x1 angle bounce
STOP: Below 1x2 angle
TARGET: Next angle resistance
```
### Strategy 3: Projection Trading (Forming Squares)
#### **Anticipation Strategy**
```
SETUP IDENTIFICATION:
👀 Info table shows "⚡ FORMING" status
👀 Progress bar > 70%
👀 P/T Ratio approaching 1.00
👀 Price approaching projected completion zone
ENTRY PREPARATION:
- Set alerts for projected completion levels
- Prepare for reversal at projection zone
- Watch for volume confirmation
- Monitor momentum indicators
```
## 📈 Step-by-Step Trading Process
### Phase 1: Market Analysis (Before Trading)
1. **Check Market Trend**: Look at info table trend indicator
2. **Identify Active Pivots**: Note last significant high/low
3. **Assess Volatility**: High volatility = larger stops needed
4. **Review Completed Squares**: These become support/resistance zones
### Phase 2: Trade Setup Identification
1. **Monitor Forming Squares**: Watch progress bars in info table
2. **Check Gann Angles**: Are they supporting or opposing your bias?
3. **Confirm with Volume**: Look for volume spikes at key levels
4. **Set Alerts**: Use TradingView alerts for completion zones
### Phase 3: Trade Execution
1. **Wait for Confirmation**: Don't trade on projections alone
2. **Enter on Breakout**: Price breaking square boundaries
3. **Set Stops Immediately**: Use square edges as stop levels
4. **Scale Out**: Take partial profits at angle intersections
### Phase 4: Trade Management
1. **Trail Stops**: Use Gann angles as trailing stop levels
2. **Monitor Progress**: Watch for new square formations
3. **Exit Signals**: New squares in opposite direction
4. **Review Performance**: Analyze win/loss against square accuracy

Intraday Macro & Flow Indicator# IntraMacroFlow Indicator
## Introduction
IntraMacroFlow is a volume and delta-based indicator that identifies significant price movements within trading sessions. It generates signals when volume spikes coincide with quality price movement, filtered by RSI to avoid overbought/oversold conditions.
> **Note:** This indicator provides multiple signals and should be combined with additional analysis methods such as support/resistance, trend direction, and price action patterns.
## Inputs
### Volume Settings
* **Volume Lookback Period** (14) - Number of bars for volume moving average calculation
* **Volume Threshold Multiplier** (1.5) - Required volume increase over average to generate signals
* **Delta Threshold** (0.3) - Required close-to-open movement relative to bar range (higher = stronger movement)
### Session Configuration
* **Use Dynamic Session Detection** (true) - Automatically determine session times
* **Highlight Market Open Period** (true) - Highlight first third of trading session
* **Highlight Mid-Session Period** (true) - Highlight middle portion of trading session
* **Detect Signals Throughout Whole Session** (true) - Find signals in entire session
* **Session Time** ("0930-1600") - Trading hours in HHMM-HHMM format
* **Session Type** ("Regular") - Select Regular, Extended, or Custom session
### Manual Session Settings
Used when dynamic detection is disabled:
* **Manual Session Open Hour** (9)
* **Manual Session Open Minute** (30)
* **Manual Session Open Duration** (60)
* **Manual Mid-Session Start Hour** (12)
* **Manual Mid-Session End Hour** (14)
## How It Works
The indicator analyzes each bar using three primary conditions:
1. **Volume Condition**: Current volume > Average volume × Threshold
2. **Delta Condition**: |Close-Open|/Range > Delta threshold
3. **Time Condition**: Bar falls within configured session times
When all conditions are met:
* Bullish signals appear when close > open and RSI < 70
* Bearish signals appear when close < open and RSI > 30
## Display Elements
### Shapes and Colors
* Green triangles below bars - Bullish signals
* Red triangles above bars - Bearish signals
* Blue background - Market open period
* Purple background - Mid-session period
* Bar coloring - Green (bullish), Red (bearish), or unchanged
### Information Panel
A dynamic label shows:
* Current volume relative to average (Vol)
* Delta value for current bar (Delta)
* RSI value (RSI)
* Session status (Active/Closed)
## Calculation Method
```
// Volume Condition
volumeMA = ta.sma(volume, lookbackPeriod)
volumeCondition = volume > volumeMA * volumeThreshold
// Delta Calculation (price movement quality)
priceRange = high - low
delta = math.abs(close - open) / priceRange
deltaCondition = delta > deltaThreshold
// Direction and RSI Filter
bullishBias = close > open and entrySignal and not (rsi > 70)
bearishBias = close < open and entrySignal and not (rsi < 30)
```
## Usage Recommendations
### Suitable Markets
* Equities during regular trading hours
* Futures markets
* Forex during active sessions
* Cryptocurrencies with defined volume patterns
### Recommended Timeframes
* 1-minute to 1-hour (optimal: 5 or 15-minute)
### Parameter Adjustments
* For fewer but stronger signals: increase Volume Threshold (2.0+) and Delta Threshold (0.4-0.6)
* For more signals: decrease Volume Threshold (1.2-1.5) and Delta Threshold (0.2-0.3)
### Usage Tips
* Combine with trend analysis for higher-probability entries
* Focus on signals occurring at session boundaries and mid-session
* Use opposite signals as potential exit points
* Configure alerts to receive notifications when signals occur
## Additional Notes
* RSI parameters are fixed at 14 periods with 70/30 thresholds
* The indicator handles overnight sessions correctly
* Fully compatible with TradingView alerts
* Customizable visual elements
## Release Notes
Initial release: This is a template indicator that should be customized to suit your specific trading strategies and preferences.

Labels to indicate specific candlestick formations.
Labels appear only when a valid pattern is detected, avoiding unnecessary clutter.
Buy/Sell Signal
Plots buy signals at bullish patterns and sell signals at bearish patterns.
Helps traders recognize trend reversals and entry/exit points.
Bullish Engulfing Pattern (Green Label)
What it means: A bullish engulfing pattern typically signals a potential reversal from a downtrend to an uptrend. The current candle fully engulfs the previous candle, signaling strong buying interest.
Identifying Candlestick Patterns on the Chart
How to use it:
Entry: Look for a green label (bullish engulfing) at the bottom of the chart. When it appears, consider entering a long position (buy).
Confirmation: To increase reliability, wait for confirmation by observing if price moves above the high of the bullish engulfing candle.
Exit: Exit when the trend shows signs of reversing or take profit at predefined levels (e.g., resistance or a risk-to-reward ratio).
Bearish Engulfing Pattern (Red Label)
What it means: A bearish engulfing pattern is a signal of a potential reversal from an uptrend to a downtrend. The current candle fully engulfs the previous candle, signaling strong selling pressure.
How to use it:
Entry: Look for a red label (bearish engulfing) at the top of the chart. When it appears, consider entering a short position (sell).
Confirmation: Wait for the price to move below the low of the bearish engulfing candle to confirm the bearish trend.
Exit: Close the trade when the price reaches support levels or the trend shows signs of reversing.
Doji Pattern (Blue Circle)
What it means: A Doji candle signals market indecision. It represents a balance between buyers and sellers, often marking a potential reversal or consolidation point.
How to use it:
Entry: If the Doji appears after a strong trend (bullish or bearish), wait for the next candle to break above or below the Doji's high or low. This can signal a continuation or reversal.
Confirmation: You can look for additional indicators like moving averages, RSI, or MACD for confirmation before taking any action.
Exit: Exit when the price shows clear momentum in your entry direction.
Hammer Pattern (Orange Triangle)
What it means: The hammer pattern is a bullish reversal pattern that appears after a downtrend. It suggests that sellers pushed the price down during the session, but buyers managed to push the price back up.
How to use it:
Entry: When a hammer appears, consider entering a long position (buy). The price should move above the hammer's high for confirmation.
Confirmation: Look for strong volume and a follow-up bullish candle to confirm the reversal.
Exit: Set a target based on the next resistance level, or use a trailing stop to lock in profits.
Using Candlestick Patterns with Other Indicators
To increase your chances of success, combine candlestick patterns with other technical indicators.
Here are some ideas:
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Use RSI to check whether the market is overbought or oversold. A bullish engulfing in an oversold market could indicate a stronger buy signal, and a bearish engulfing in an overbought market could indicate a stronger sell signal.
Moving Averages (e.g., 50 EMA, 200 EMA): Confirm trend direction. If the candlestick pattern aligns with the direction of the moving averages, it can give a stronger signal.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): Use MACD to confirm momentum and potential trend changes. If a candlestick pattern aligns with a MACD crossover, it strengthens the signal.
Volume: Look for higher-than-average volume when a pattern appears. This can give you additional confirmation that the market is reacting strongly.
Practice and Refine
It's important to practice using the candlestick patterns in a demo account or backtest them to see how they perform under different market conditions. Over time, you can adjust the settings and patterns to fit your trading style and preferences.
Multi-indicator Signal Builder [Skyrexio]Overview
Multi-Indicator Signal Builder is a versatile, all-in-one script designed to streamline your trading workflow by combining multiple popular technical indicators under a single roof. It features a single-entry, single-exit logic, intrabar stop-loss/take-profit handling, an optional time filter, a visually accessible condition table, and a built-in statistics label. Traders can choose any combination of 12+ indicators (RSI, Ultimate Oscillator, Bollinger %B, Moving Averages, ADX, Stochastic, MACD, PSAR, MFI, CCI, Heikin Ashi, and a “TV Screener” placeholder) to form entry or exit conditions. This script aims to simplify strategy creation and analysis, making it a powerful toolkit for technical traders.
Indicators Overview
1. RSI (Relative Strength Index)
Measures recent price changes to evaluate overbought or oversold conditions on a 0–100 scale.
2. Ultimate Oscillator (UO)
Uses weighted averages of three different timeframes, aiming to confirm price momentum while avoiding false divergences.
3. Bollinger %B
Expresses price relative to Bollinger Bands, indicating whether price is near the upper band (overbought) or lower band (oversold).
4. Moving Average (MA)
Smooths price data over a specified period. The script supports both SMA and EMA to help identify trend direction and potential crossovers.
5. ADX (Average Directional Index)
Gauges the strength of a trend (0–100). Higher ADX signals stronger momentum, while lower ADX indicates a weaker trend.
6. Stochastic
Compares a closing price to a price range over a given period to identify momentum shifts and potential reversals.
7. MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence)
Tracks the difference between two EMAs plus a signal line, commonly used to spot momentum flips through crossovers.
8. PSAR (Parabolic SAR)
Plots a trailing stop-and-reverse dot that moves with the trend. Often used to signal potential reversals when price crosses PSAR.
9. MFI (Money Flow Index)
Similar to RSI but incorporates volume data. A reading above 80 can suggest overbought conditions, while below 20 may indicate oversold.
10. CCI (Commodity Channel Index)
Identifies cyclical trends or overbought/oversold levels by comparing current price to an average price over a set timeframe.
11. Heikin Ashi
A type of candlestick charting that filters out market noise. The script uses a streak-based approach (multiple consecutive bullish or bearish bars) to gauge mini-trends.
12. TV Screener
A placeholder condition designed to integrate external buy/sell logic (like a TradingView “Buy” or “Sell” rating). Users can override or reference external signals if desired.
Unique Features
1. Multi-Indicator Entry and Exit
You can selectively enable any subset of 12+ classic indicators, each with customizable parameters and conditions. A position opens only if all enabled entry conditions are met, and it closes only when all enabled exit conditions are satisfied, helping reduce false triggers.
2. Single-Entry / Single-Exit with Intrabar SL/TP
The script supports a single position at a time. Once a position is open, it monitors intrabar to see if the price hits your stop-loss or take-profit levels before the bar closes, making results more realistic for fast-moving markets.
3. Time Window Filter
Users may specify a start/end date range during which trades are allowed, making it convenient to focus on specific market cycles for backtesting or live trading.
4. Condition Table and Statistics
A table at the bottom of the chart lists all active entry/exit indicators. Upon each closed trade, an integrated statistics label displays net profit, total trades, win/loss count, average and median PnL, etc.
5. Seamless Alerts and Automation
Configure alerts in TradingView using “Any alert() function call.”
The script sends JSON alert messages you can route to your own webhook.
The indicator can be integrated with Skyrexio alert bots to automate execution on major cryptocurrency exchanges
6. Optional MA/PSAR Plots
For added visual clarity, optionally plot the chosen moving averages or PSAR on the chart to confirm signals without stacking multiple indicators.
Methodology
1. Multi-Indicator Entry Logic
When multiple entry indicators are enabled (e.g., RSI + Stochastic + MACD), the script requires all signals to align before generating an entry. Each indicator can be set for crossovers, crossunders, thresholds (above/below), etc. This “AND” logic aims to filter out low-confidence triggers.
2. Single-Entry Intrabar SL/TP
One Position At a Time: Once an entry signal triggers, a trade opens at the bar’s close.
Intrabar Checks: Stop-loss and take-profit levels (if enabled) are monitored on every tick. If either is reached, the position closes immediately, without waiting for the bar to end.
3. Exit Logic
All Conditions Must Agree: If the trade is still open (SL/TP not triggered), then all enabled exit indicators must confirm a closure before the script exits on the bar’s close.
4. Time Filter
Optional Trading Window: You can activate a date/time range to constrain entries and exits strictly to that interval.
Justification of Methodology
Indicator Confluence: Combining multiple tools (RSI, MACD, etc.) can reduce noise and false signals.
Intrabar SL/TP: Capturing real-time spikes or dips provides a more precise reflection of typical live trading scenarios.
Single-Entry Model: Straightforward for both manual and automated tracking (especially important in bridging to bots).
Custom Date Range: Helps refine backtesting for specific market conditions or to avoid known irregular data periods.

Trading IQ - Razor IQIntroducing TradingIQ's first dip buying/shorting all-in-one trading system: Razor IQ.
Razor IQ is an exclusive trading algorithm developed by TradingIQ, designed to trade upside/downside price dips of varying significance in trending markets. By integrating artificial intelligence and IQ Technology, Razor IQ analyzes historical and real-time price data to construct a dynamic trading system adaptable to various asset and timeframe combinations.
Philosophy of Razor IQ
Razor IQ operates on a single premise: Trends must retrace, and these retracements offer traders an opportunity to join in the overarching trend. At some point traders will enter against a trend in aggregate and traders in profitable positions entered during the trend will scale out. When occurring simultaneously, a trend will retrace against itself, offering an opportunity for traders not yet in the trend to join in the move and continue the trend.
Razor IQ is designed to work straight out of the box. In fact, its simplicity requires just a few user settings to manage output, making it incredibly straightforward to manage.
Long Limit Order Stop Loss and Minimum ATR TP/SL are the only settings that manage the performance of Razor IQ!
Traders don’t have to spend hours adjusting settings and trying to find what works best - Razor IQ handles this on its own.

How It Works
Razor IQ operates on a straightforward heuristic: go long during the retracement of significant upside price moves and go short during the retracement of significant downside price moves.
IQ Technology, TradingIQ's proprietary AI algorithm, defines what constitutes a “trend” and a “retracement” and what’s considered a tradable dip buying/shorting opportunity. For Razor IQ, this algorithm evaluates all historical trends and retracements, how much trends generally retrace and how long trends generally persist. For instance, the "dip" following an uptrend is measured and learned from, including the significance of the identified trend level (how long it has been active, how much price has increased, etc). By analyzing these patterns, Razor IQ adapts to identify and trade similar future retracements and trends.
In simple terms, Razor IQ clusters previous trend and retracement data in an attempt to trade similar price sequences when they repeat in the future. Using this knowledge, it determines the optimal, current price level where joining in the current trend (during a retracement) has a calculated chance of not stopping out before trend continuation.
For long positions, Razor IQ enters using a market order at the AI-identified long entry price point. If price closes beneath this level a market order will be placed and a long position entered. Of course, this is how the algorithm trades, users can elect to use a stop-limit order amongst other order types for position entry. After the position is entered TP1 is placed (identifiable on the price chart). TP1 has a twofold purpose:
Acts as a legitimate profit target to exit 50% of the position.
Once TP1 is achieved, a stop-loss order is immediately placed at breakeven, and a trailing stop loss controls the remainder of the trade. With this, so long as TP1 is achieved, the position will not endure a loss. So long as price continues to uptrend, Razor IQ will remain in the position.
For short positions, Razor IQ provides an AI-identified short entry level. If price closes above this level a market order will be placed and a short position entered. Again, this is how the algorithm trades, users can elect to use a stop-limit order amongst other order types for position entry. Upon entry Razor IQ implements a TP order and SL order (identifiable on the price chart).
Downtrends, in most markets, usually operate differently than uptrends. With uptrends, price usually increases at a modest pace with consistency over an extended period of time. Downtrends behave in an opposite manner - price decreases rapidly for a much shorter duration.
With this observation, the long dip entry heuristic differs slightly from the short dip entry heuristic.
The long dip entry heuristic specializes in identifying larger, long-term uptrends and entering on retracement of the uptrends. With a dedicated trailing stop loss, so long as the uptrend persists, Razor IQ will remain in the position.
The short dip entry heuristic specializes in identifying sharp, significant downside price moves, and entering short on upside volatility during these moves. A fixed stop loss and profit target are implemented for short positions - no trailing stop is used.
As a trading system, Razor IQ exits all TP orders using a limit order, with all stop losses exited as stop market orders.
What Classifies As a Tradable Dip?
For Razor IQ, tradable price dips are not manually set but are instead learned by the system. What qualifies as an exploitable price dip in one market might not hold the same significance in another. Razor IQ continuously analyzes historical and current trends (if one exists), how far price has moved during the trend, the duration of the trend, the raw-dollar price move of price dips during trends, and more, to determine which future price retracements offer a smart chance to join in any current price trend.
The image above illustrates the Razor Line Long Entry point.
The green line represents the Long Retracement Entry Point.
The blue upper line represents the first profit target for the trade.
The blue lower line represents the trailing stop loss start point for the long position.
The position is entered once price closes below the green line.
The green Razor Lazor long entry point will only appear during uptrends.
The image above shows a long position being entered after the Long Razor Lazor was closed beneath.
Green arrows indicate that the strategy entered a long position at the highlighted price level.
Blue arrows indicate that the strategy exited a position, whether at TP1, the initial stop loss, or at the trailing stop.
Blue lines above the entry price indicate the TP1 level for the current long trade. Blue lines below the current price indicate the initial stop loss price.
If price reaches TP1, a stop loss will be immediately placed at breakeven, and the in-built trailing stop will determine the future exit price.
A blue line (similar to the blue line shown for TP1) will trail price and correspond to the trailing stop price of the trade.
If the trailing stop is above the breakeven stop loss, then the trailing stop will be hit before the breakeven stop loss, which means the remainder of the trade will be exited at a profit.
If the breakeven stop loss is above the trailing stop, then the breakeven stop loss will be hit first. In this case, the remainder of the position will be exited at breakeven.
The image above shows the trailing stop price, represented by a blue line, and the breakeven stop loss price, represented by a pink line, used for the long position!
You can also hover over the trade labels to get more information about the trade—such as the entry price and exit price.
The image above exemplifies Razor IQ's output when a downtrend is active.
When a downtrend is active, Razor IQ will switch to "short mode". In short mode, Razor IQ will display a neon red line. This neon red line indicates the Razor Lazor short entry point. When price closes above the red Razor Lazor line a short position is entered.
The image above shows Razor IQ during an active short position.
The image above shows Razor IQ after completing a short trade.
Red arrows indicate that the strategy entered a short position at the highlighted price level.
Blue arrows indicate that the strategy exited a position, whether at the profit target or the fixed stop loss.
Blue lines indicate the profit target level for the current trade when below price. and blue lines above the current price indicate the stop loss level for the short trade.
Short traders do not utilize a trailing stop - only a fixed profit target and fixed stop loss are used.
You can also hover over the trade labels to get more information about the trade—such as the entry price and exit price.
Minimum Profit Target And Stop Loss
The Minimum ATR Profit Target and Minimum ATR Stop Loss setting control the minimum allowed profit target and stop loss distance. On most timeframes users won’t have to alter these settings; however, on very-low timeframes such as the 1-minute chart, users can increase these values so gross profits exceed commission.
After changing either setting, Razor IQ will retrain on historical data - accounting for the newly defined minimum profit target or stop loss.
AI Direction
The AI Direction setting controls the trade direction Razor IQ is allowed to take.
“Trade Longs” allows for long trades.
“Trade Shorts” allows for short trades.
Verifying Razor IQ’s Effectiveness
Razor IQ automatically tracks its performance and displays the profit factor for the long strategy and the short strategy it uses. This information can be found in the table located in the top-right corner of your chart showing.
This table shows the long strategy profit factor and the short strategy profit factor.
The image above shows the long strategy profit factor and the short strategy profit factor for Razor IQ.
A profit factor greater than 1 indicates a strategy profitably traded historical price data.
A profit factor less than 1 indicates a strategy unprofitably traded historical price data.
A profit factor equal to 1 indicates a strategy did not lose or gain money when trading historical price data.
Using Razor IQ
While Razor IQ is a full-fledged trading system with entries and exits - manual traders can certainly make use of its on chart indications and visualizations.
The hallmark feature of Razor IQ is its ability to signal an acceptable dip entry opportunity - for both uptrends and downtrends. Long entries are often signaled near the bottom of a retracement for an uptrend; short entries are often signaled near the top of a retracement for a downtrend.
Razor IQ will always operate on exact price levels; however, users can certainly take advantage of Razor IQ's trend identification mechanism and retracement identification mechanism to use as confluence with their personally crafted trading strategy.
Of course, every trend will reverse at some point, and a good dip buying/shorting strategy will often trade the reversal in expectation of the prior trend continuing (retracement). It's important not to aggressively filter retracement entries in hopes of avoiding an entry when a trend reversal finally occurs, as this will ultimately filter out good dip buying/shorting opportunities. This is a reality of any dip trading strategy - not just Razor IQ.
Of course, you can set alerts for all Razor IQ entry and exit signals, effectively following along its systematic conquest of price movement.
