Futures Risk CalculatorFutures Risk Calculator Script - Description
The Futures Risk Calculator (FRC) is a comprehensive tool designed to help traders effectively manage risk when trading futures contracts. This script allows users to calculate risk/reward ratios directly on the chart by specifying their entry price and stop loss. It's an ideal tool for futures traders who want to quantify their potential losses and gains with precision, based on their trading account size and the number of contracts they trade.
What the Script Does:
1. Risk and Reward Calculation:
The script calculates your total risk in dollars and as a percentage of your account size based on the entry and stop-loss prices you input.
It also calculates two key levels where potential reward (Take Profit 1 and Take Profit 2) can be expected, helping you assess the reward-to-risk ratio for any trade.
2. Customizable Settings:
You can specify the size of your trading account (available $ for Futures trading) and the number of futures contracts you're trading. This allows for tailored risk management that reflects your exact trading conditions.
3. Live Chart Integration:
You add the script to your chart after opening a futures chart in TradingView. Simply click on the chart to set your Entry Price and Stop Loss. The script will instantly calculate and display the risk and reward levels based on the points you set.
Adjusting the entry and stop-loss points later is just as easy: drag and drop the levels directly on the chart, and the risk and reward calculations update automatically.
4. Futures Contract Support:
The script is pre-configured with a list of popular futures symbols (like ES, NQ, CL, GC, and more). If your preferred futures contract isn’t in the list, you can easily add it by modifying the script.
The script uses each symbol’s point value to ensure precise risk calculations, providing you with an accurate dollar risk and potential reward based on the specific contract you're trading.
How to Use the Script:
1. Apply the Script to a Futures Chart:
Open a futures contract chart in TradingView.
Add the Futures Risk Calculator (FRC) script as an indicator.
2. Set Entry and Stop Loss:
Upon applying the script, it will prompt you to select your entry price by clicking the chart where you plan to enter the market.
Next, click on the chart to set your stop-loss level.
The script will then calculate your total risk in dollars and as a percentage of your account size.
3. View Risk, Reward, and (Take Profit):
You can immediately see visual lines representing your entry, stop loss, and the calculated reward-to-risk ratio levels (Take Profit 1 and Take Profit 2).
If you want to adjust the entry or stop loss after plotting them, simply move the points on
the chart, and the script will recalculate everything for you.
4. Configure Account and Contracts:
In the script settings, you can enter your account size and adjust the number of contracts you are trading. These inputs allow the script to calculate risk in monetary terms and as a percentage, making it easier to manage your risk effectively.
5. Understand the Information in the Table:
Once you apply the script, a table will appear in the top-right corner of your chart, providing you with key information about your futures contract and the trade setup. Here's what each field represents:
Account Size: Displays your total account value, which you can set in the script's settings.
Future: Shows the selected futures symbol, along with key details such as its tick size and point value. This gives you a clear understanding of how much one point or tick is worth in dollar terms.
Entry Price: The exact price at which you plan to enter the trade, displayed in green.
Stop Loss Price: The price level where you plan to exit the trade if the market moves against you, shown in red.
Contracts: The number of futures contracts you are trading, which you can adjust in the settings.
Risk: Highlighted in orange, this field shows your total risk in dollars, as well as the percentage risk based on your account size. This is a crucial value to help you stay within your risk tolerance and manage your trades effectively.

Change in State of Delivery CISD ICT [TradingFinder] Liquidity 1🔵 Introduction
🟣 What is CISD ?
Change in State of Delivery (CISD) is a key concept in technical analysis, similar to Change of Character (ChoCh) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money trading styles. Like ChoCh and MSS, CISD helps traders identify critical changes in market structure and make timely entries into trades.
To determine the CISD Level, traders typically review the last 1 to 4 candles to identify the first positive or negative candle. The CISD Level is then set using the opening price of the next candle.
In this version of the indicator, support and resistance levels are defined based on liquidity, which includes patterns such as SFP (Swing Failure Pattern), fake breakout, and false breakout.
Bullish CISD :
Bearish CISD :
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Bullish CISD (Change in State of Delivery Upward)
In Bullish CISD, the trend shifts from bearish to bullish after the price hits a liquidity zone, typically indicated by patterns such as SFP, fake breakout, or false breakout.
The steps to identify Bullish CISD are as follow s:
Identify the liquidity zone (SFP, fake breakout).
Review the candles and find the first positive candle.
Set the CISD Level using the opening price of the next candle after the positive candle.
Confirm the change in state of delivery when the price closes above the CISD Level.
Enter the trade after CISD confirmation.
🟣 Bearish CISD (Change in State of Delivery Downward)
In Bearish CISD, the trader looks for a shift from a bullish to a bearish trend. This change typically occurs when the price hits a liquidity level, indicated by patterns such as SFP or false breakout.
The steps to identify Bearish CISD are :
Identify the liquidity zone.
Review the candles and find the first negative candle.
Set the CISD Level using the opening price of the next candle after the negative candle.
Confirm the change in state of delivery when the price closes below the CISD Level.
Enter a short trade after CISD confirmation.
🟣 CISD Compared to ChoCh and MSS (CISD Vs ChoCh/ MSS)
CISD, ChoCh, and MSS are all tools for identifying trend changes in the market, but they have some differences :
CISD: Focuses on a change in the state of delivery and uses liquidity patterns (SFP, fake breakout) and key candles to confirm trend reversals.
ChoCh: Identifies a change in the market’s character, often signaling rapid shifts in trend direction.
MSS: Focuses on changes in market structure and identifies the breaking of key levels as a signal of trend shifts.

CISD is a powerful tool for identifying trend reversals using liquidity patterns and key candle analysis. Traders can use the CISD Level to detect trend changes and find optimal entry and exit points.
This concept is similar to ChoCh and MSS but stands out with its focus on confirming trend changes through liquidity and specific patterns. With the right approach, CISD helps traders capitalize on market movements more effectively.
False Breakouts [TradingFinder] Fake Breakouts Failure🔵 Introduction
Technical indicators are essential tools for analysts and traders in financial markets, helping them predict price movements and make better trading decisions. One of the key concepts in technical analysis that should be carefully considered is the "False Breakout."
This phenomenon occurs when a price temporarily breaks through a significant support or resistance level but fails to hold and quickly returns to its previous range. Understanding this concept and applying it in trading can reduce risks and increase profitability.
🟣 What is a False Breakout?
A Fake Breakout, as the name suggests, refers to a breakout that appears to occur but fails to sustain, leading the price to quickly revert back to its previous range. This situation often happens when inexperienced or non-professional traders, under psychological pressure and eager to enter the market quickly, initiate trades.
This creates opportunities for professional traders to take advantage of these short-term fluctuations and execute successful trades.
🟣 The Importance of Recognizing False Breakouts
Recognizing False Breakouts is crucial for any trader aiming for success in financial markets. False Breakouts typically occur when the market approaches a critical support or resistance level.
In these situations, many traders are waiting to see if the price will break through this level. However, when the price quickly returns to its previous range, it indicates weakness in the movement and the inability to sustain the breakout.
🟣 How to identify False Breakouts?
To identify Fake Breakouts, it is important to carefully analyze price charts and look for signs of a quick price reversal after breaking a key level.
Here are some chart patterns that may help you identify a False Breakout :
1. Pin Bar Pattern : The Pin Bar is a candlestick pattern that indicates a price reversal. This pattern usually appears near support and resistance levels, showing that the price attempted to break through a key level but failed and reversed.
2. Fakey Pattern : This pattern, which consists of several candlesticks, indicates a False Breakout and a quick price return to the previous range. It usually appears near key levels and can signal a trend reversal.
3. Using Multiple Timeframes : One way to identify False Breakouts is by using charts of different timeframes. Sometimes, a breakout on a one-hour chart may be a False Breakout on a daily chart. Analyzing charts across multiple timeframes can help you accurately identify this phenomenon.
🔵 How to Use
Once you identify a False Breakout, you can use it as a trading signal. For this, it is best to look for trading opportunities in the opposite direction of the False Breakout. In other words, if a False Breakout occurs at a resistance level, you might consider selling opportunities, and if it happens at a support level, you might look for buying opportunities.
Here are some key points for trading based on False Breakouts :
1. Patience and Discipline : Patience and discipline are crucial when trading with False Breakouts. Wait for the False Breakout to clearly form before entering a trade.
2. Use Stop Loss : Setting an appropriate stop loss is vital when trading based on False Breakouts. Typically, the stop loss can be placed near the level where the False Breakout occurred.
3. Seek Confirmations : Before entering a trade, look for additional confirmations. These can include other analyses or technical indicators that show the price is likely to return to its previous level.
🔵 Settings
🟣 Logical settings
Swing period : You can set the swing detection period.
Max Swing Back Method : It is in two modes "All" and "Custom". If it is in "All" mode, it will check all swings, and if it is in "Custom" mode, it will check the swings to the extent you determine.
Max Swing Bac k: You can set the number of swings that will go back for checking.
🟣 Display settings
Displaying or not displaying swings and setting the color of labels and lines.
🟣 Alert Settings
Alert False Breakout : Enables alerts for Breakout.
Message Frequency : Determines the frequency of alerts. Options include 'All' (every function call), 'Once Per Bar' (first call within the bar), and 'Once Per Bar Close' (final script execution of the real-time bar). Default is 'Once per Bar'.
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : Configures the time zone for alert messages. Default is 'UTC'.
🔵Conclusion
False Breakouts, as a key concept in technical analysis, are powerful tools for identifying sudden price changes and using them in trading. Understanding this phenomenon and applying it can help traders perform better in financial markets and avoid potential losses.
To benefit from False Breakouts, traders need to carefully analyze charts and use the appropriate analytical tools. By leveraging this strategy, traders can achieve lower-risk and higher-reward trades.

Customize the appearance of the indicator, including line colors, callout colors, and text colors, to match your charting style.
This indicator is ideal for traders who rely on price action and key levels for their trading decisions. It provides clear signals and alerts, helping you stay on top of potential market reversals or continuations.
Three Anchored Moving Averages (VWAP / SMA / EMA)
This indicator allows users to anchor three types of moving averages (Simple Moving Average (SMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), and Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP)) to specific points in time (anchor points)
Key Features:
Select from three Moving Average Types:
Simple Moving Average (SMA): Averages the closing prices over a specified period.
Exponential Moving Average (EMA): Gives more weight to recent prices, making it more responsive to new information.
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP): Averages the price weighted by volume, useful for understanding the average price at which the asset has traded over a period.
Up to Three Anchor Points:
Users can set up to three different anchor points to calculate the moving averages from specific dates and times. This allows for analysis of price action starting from significant points or specific events. For example, you can anchor to the low and high of a move to identify key levels or to points where the price takes off from a previous anchored MA.
Customisable Sentiment Options:
Each anchor point can be associated with a sentiment input (Auto, Bull, Bear, None), which influences if the MAs are displayed as lines or zones/bands:
Auto: Automatically determines the sentiment based on whether anchor points are on pivot highs and lows. If anchored to a pivot high, the system will assume a bearish sentiment and display a red band or zone between the MA OHLC4 and High. Anchoring to a pivot low will display a green band (OHLC4 - Low).
Bull: Forces a bullish sentiment (Green Band - OHLC4 to Low)
Bear: Forces a bearish sentiment (Red Band - OHLC4 to High)
None: Ignores sentiment and displays a single line (OHLC4)
Chart Matching:
The indicator includes an option to display the moving averages only if the chart symbol matches a specified ticker. This feature ensures that the indicator is relevant to the specific asset being analysed.
How to Use the Indicator:
1. Set Anchor Points: When added to your chart, select three anchor points by point and click. If you only wish to anchor to a single point, click on that point three times and disable the other two in settings once the indicator is applied.
2. Select Moving Average Type: Choose between SMA, EMA, or VWAP using the dropdown menu. EMAs are the most responsive.
3. Enable/Disable Anchor Points: Use the checkboxes to enable or disable each anchor point.
4. Select Sentiment Type: Choose between Auto, Bull, Bear, or None.
5. Chart Matching: Optionally, specify a chart symbol to restrict the indicator's display to that particular asset.
6. Interpret the Plots: The indicator plots the high, mid, and low values of the selected moving average type from each anchor point. The fills between these plots help identify potential support and resistance zones. These should be used as points of interest for pullback reversals or potential continuation if the price breaks through.
Practical Applications:
Trend Analysis: Identify the overall trend direction from specific historical points.
Support and Resistance: Determine key dynamic support and resistance levels based on anchored moving averages.
Event-Based Analysis: Anchor the moving averages to significant events (e.g., earnings releases, economic data) to study their impact on price trends.
Multi Timeframe Analysis: Higher Timeframe Anchors can be used to identify longer term trend analysis. Switching to a lower timeframe for execution triggers at these points wont distort the MA levels as they are anchored to a specific point in time
Intraday or Swing Trading: trend analysis using anchor points can be used for any style of trading (Intraday / Swing / Invest). Use anchored levels as points of interest and wait for hints in price action to try and catch the next move.
[SGM Volatility Lvl]Choppiness Index (CI)
The Choppiness Index is a technical analysis tool used to determine whether a market is trending or consolidating. CI values range between 0 and 100:
- Higher values (close to 100) indicate a choppy market (i.e., the market is consolidating and not trending strongly).
- Lower values (close to 0) signify a trending market (either up or down).
In this script:
- CI values above 62 are considered to represent high volatility.
- CI values below 28 are viewed as representing lower volatility or consolidation.
How the Indicator Works
Choppiness Index Calculation
The CI is calculated using the average true range (ATR) and the high-low range over the specified length:
ci = 100 * math.log10(math.sum(ta.atr(1), length_line) / (ta.highest(length_line) - ta.lowest(length_line))) / math.log10(length_line)
Volatility Determination
The script determines the market's volatility state based on CI:
if ci >= 62
ischarge := 2
if ci <= 28
ischarge := 0
- ischarge = 2 indicates high volatility.
- ischarge = 0 indicates consolidation.
Line Setup
Lines are set on the chart based on the market's volatility:
- If CI increases and indicates high volatility, a line (colored with `volcolor`) is drawn at the close price of the bar.
- If CI decreases and indicates consolidation, a line (colored with `conColor`) is drawn at the close price of the bar.
Line Extension
The lines are automatically extended to the next indicator update or bar:
for i = 0 to array.size(ray) - 1
if i < array.size(ray) - 1
current_line = array.get(ray, i)
next_line = array.get(ray, i + 1)
if not na(current_line) and not na(next_line)
line.set_x2(current_line, line.get_x1(next_line))
else
line.set_x2(current_line, bar_index)
Relevance
Identifying Key Levels
The indicator helps traders identify key levels as follows:
- High Volatility : Lines indicating high volatility suggest strong trending movements. These levels can signify breakout points or areas where the price has made significant moves.
- Consolidation : Lines indicating consolidation suggest the market is ranging. These levels can be used to identify sideways movements, areas of accumulation or distribution, and potential breakout zones.
Potential Future Points of Interest
- High Volatility Lines: Can serve as resistance or support levels if the market revisits these areas.
- Consolidation Lines: Highlight potential zones for price breakouts or reversals when the market transitions from consolidation to a trending phase.
In summary, this indicator can be particularly useful for traders looking to identify periods of high volatility and consolidation. By marking such periods on the chart, traders can better understand market behavior and spot potential trading opportunities.
CPR by JBISIncludes CPR, Pivot Points and an EMA. This advanced technical indicator amalgamates critical components essential for robust market analysis: CPR (Central Pivot Range), Pivot Points, and EMA (Exponential Moving Average). Designed to empower traders with comprehensive insights, this indicator serves as a dynamic tool for chart analysis across various timeframes and markets.
CPR (Central Pivot Range):
Central Pivot Range, often abbreviated as CPR, represents a pivotal zone delineating critical support and resistance levels within a given trading session. Calculated from the previous session's high, low, and close, CPR helps identify potential reversal points and areas of price consolidation.
Pivot Points:
Pivot Points are key price levels derived from the previous session's high, low, and close. These levels serve as significant reference points for traders to anticipate potential price movements, gauge market sentiment, and formulate strategic entry and exit points.
EMA (Exponential Moving Average):
EMA, or Exponential Moving Average, is a widely-used trend-following indicator that places greater emphasis on recent price data. By smoothing out price fluctuations, EMA provides traders with a clearer depiction of market trends, facilitating timely decision-making and trend identification.
Key Features:
Customizable Parameters: Tailor the indicator settings to align with your trading strategy and risk tolerance.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Seamlessly analyze price action across different timeframes, enabling comprehensive market assessment and strategy formulation.

Dynamic Price ChannelsThis indicator plots dynamic price channels based on the security highest close and lowest open.
The default is to display 8 core channels (with the option to plot the sub channel lines, off by default).
It’s simple really—this just divides the price action into equal channels. I’ve found this pattern helpful across all markets.
It’s dynamic because if a new high close or a new low close is created the all channels will adjust.
The key levels are 75% (blue), 50% (aqua), 25% (blue).
In between those key levels is a level separator.
The high close and the low open are both red.
These can all be customized in the settings.
What you’ll typically see at these channel boundaries are price slow downs, reversals, support and resistance.
Turning on sub-channels will provide further channel plots. On these sub-channels you’ll also see the same type of price action activity as mentioned above.
I’ve developed a trading system where this indicator helps identify key pivot areas. Combined with a few other indicators and key EMAs this trade system provides high probability trades around these key channel areas.
Enhanced MTF Bias Table by Odegos# Enhanced MTF Bias Table - Publication Description
## Short Description (for TradingView listing)
Multi-timeframe bias indicator combining Market Structure Shifts (MSS) with EMA analysis. Displays real-time bias across 7 timeframes (5m-Weekly) with distance metrics and volatility measurements. Perfect for identifying trend alignment and potential reversal points.
---
## Full Description
### Overview
The **Enhanced MTF Bias Table** is a comprehensive multi-timeframe analysis tool designed to help traders quickly identify market bias across different time horizons. By combining Market Structure Shift (MSS) detection with Exponential Moving Average (EMA) analysis, this indicator provides a clear, color-coded view of market sentiment from short-term (5-minute) to long-term (weekly) timeframes.
### What This Indicator Does
**Core Functionality:**
- **Multi-Timeframe Analysis**: Simultaneously monitors 7 different timeframes (5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, Daily, Weekly)
- **Market Structure Detection**: Identifies when price breaks previous swing highs/lows, indicating potential trend changes
- **EMA-Based Bias**: Combines market structure with price distance from a customizable EMA to determine bias strength
- **Visual Market Structure Shifts**: Draws horizontal lines on the chart when significant market structure shifts occur
- **Real-Time Metrics**: Displays distance from EMA and ATR (volatility) for each timeframe
### How It Works
**Bias Calculation Logic:**
The indicator uses a sophisticated two-factor approach to determine market bias:
1. **Market Structure Analysis**:
- Tracks swing highs and lows using pivot points
- Identifies when price breaks above previous highs (bullish structure) or below previous lows (bearish structure)
- Uses a customizable lookback period to filter noise
2. **EMA Distance Analysis**:
- Measures how far price is from the selected EMA
- Strong bias requires BOTH structure break AND significant distance from EMA
- Neutral zone prevents false signals when price consolidates near the EMA
**Bias Categories:**
- **Strong ↑** (Dark Green): Bullish market structure + price above EMA threshold
- **Weak ↑** (Light Green): Bullish structure OR price moderately above EMA
- **Neutral** (Orange): Price within neutral zone around EMA
- **Weak ↓** (Light Red): Bearish structure OR price moderately below EMA
- **Strong ↓** (Dark Red): Bearish market structure + price below EMA threshold
### Key Features
**📊 Customizable Table Display:**
- Two table styles: Compact (minimal) or Full (detailed with labels)
- 9 position options to fit any chart layout
- Toggle distance from EMA and ATR displays
- Shows current symbol, timeframe, and date
**📈 Flexible Indicator Settings:**
- Adjustable EMA length (default: 50)
- Customizable MSS lookback period (5-50 bars)
- Breakout threshold adjustment for different instruments
- Neutral zone configuration to reduce noise
**📍 Visual Market Structure Shifts:**
- Draws horizontal lines at significant structure breaks
- Customizable colors for bullish/bearish MSS
- Optional text labels ("MSS") for easy identification
- Adjustable line width and style (solid, dashed, dotted)
**📉 EMA Overlay:**
- Optional EMA display on chart
- Full customization: color, width, line style
- Helps visualize the reference point for bias calculations
**🎨 Full Color Customization:**
- Independent color controls for all bias levels
- Customize header and table appearance
- Matches any chart theme or preference
### Best Use Cases
**1. Trend Alignment:**
Use the MTF table to identify when multiple timeframes align in the same direction. When 5-6 or more timeframes show the same bias, it indicates strong directional momentum.
**2. Divergence Detection:**
Look for disagreements between timeframes. For example, if higher timeframes (Daily/Weekly) show bearish bias while lower timeframes (5m/15m) show bullish bias, it may indicate a counter-trend bounce or potential reversal setup.
**3. Entry Timing:**
Use higher timeframe bias for direction and lower timeframe bias for entry timing. Enter trades when your trading timeframe aligns with higher timeframe bias.
**4. Risk Management:**
When lower timeframes show opposite bias to higher timeframes, it suggests trading against the major trend—requiring tighter stops and smaller positions.
**5. Market Structure Confirmation:**
The MSS lines help identify key levels where market structure changed, useful for:
- Stop loss placement (below/above MSS levels)
- Target setting (previous structure points)
- Breakout confirmation
### Recommended Settings by Instrument
**Index Futures:**
- **ES (S&P 500)**: Breakout Threshold: 0.15%, Neutral Zone: 0.15%
- **NQ (Nasdaq)**: Breakout Threshold: 0.25%, Neutral Zone: 0.20%
- **YM (Dow Jones)**: Breakout Threshold: 0.20%, Neutral Zone: 0.20%
**Forex Pairs:**
- **Major Pairs**: Breakout Threshold: 0.10%, Neutral Zone: 0.10%
- **Volatile Pairs**: Breakout Threshold: 0.20%, Neutral Zone: 0.15%
**Cryptocurrencies:**
- Breakout Threshold: 0.30-0.50%, Neutral Zone: 0.25-0.40%
- Higher volatility requires larger thresholds
### Understanding the Metrics
**Distance from EMA (%):**
- Positive values = Price above EMA (bullish territory)
- Negative values = Price below EMA (bearish territory)
- Larger absolute values = Stronger deviation from mean
- Useful for identifying overextended moves
**ATR (%):**
- Measures current volatility as percentage of price
- Higher values = More volatile conditions
- Helps adjust position sizing and stop distances
- Compare across timeframes to see where volatility concentrates
### Tips for Optimal Use
1. **Start with higher timeframes**: Check Daily and Weekly bias first to understand the bigger picture
2. **Use the 50 EMA default**: It's widely used and provides reliable support/resistance
3. **Adjust MSS lookback for your style**: Lower values (5-7) for day trading, higher values (15-25) for swing trading
4. **Watch for neutral zones**: Orange/neutral readings often precede significant moves
5. **Combine with price action**: Use MSS lines as reference points for entries and exits
6. **Don't ignore weak signals**: "Weak" bias often precedes strong moves as structure builds
### What Makes This Different
Unlike simple moving average indicators, this script:
- Combines TWO confirmation factors (structure + distance) for more reliable signals
- Provides context across multiple timeframes simultaneously
- Visually marks important market structure changes on your chart
- Offers both compact and detailed display modes
- Includes volatility measurement to gauge market conditions
### Technical Notes
- Uses `request.security()` to fetch data from multiple timeframes
- Implements `pivothigh()` and `pivotlow()` for swing detection
- All calculations use `lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off` to prevent repainting
- MSS lines drawn in real-time as structure breaks occur
- Optimized for performance with minimal script resources
### Disclaimer
This indicator is a tool for analysis and does not provide trading signals or financial advice. Always:
- Use proper risk management
- Combine with other forms of analysis
- Test thoroughly in a demo environment
- Understand that past performance doesn't guarantee future results
- Consider market conditions and fundamental factors

█ HOW TO USE
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) represents the "fair value" where most volume has transacted. In AMT methodology:
BIAS DETERMINATION:
- Price ABOVE VWAP = Bullish bias (buyers in control)
- Price BELOW VWAP = Bearish bias (sellers in control)
TRADING ZONES:
- ±1 SD: Normal deviation zone - potential mean reversion area
- ±2 SD: Extreme zone - high probability reversal area (95%+ reversion rate)
ENTRY STRATEGIES:
1. Trend Following: Buy pullbacks to VWAP in uptrend, sell rallies to VWAP in downtrend
2. Mean Reversion: Fade moves at ±2 SD bands with confirmation
█ RECOMMENDED SETUP
Use this indicator together with:
- TradingView's built-in "SVP HD" (Session Volume Profile) for POC/VAH/VAL levels
- AMT CVD indicator (companion indicator) for order flow analysis
This combination gives you the complete AMT toolkit:
- SVP HD → Key levels (POC, VAH, VAL)
- AMT VWAP → Dynamic support/resistance & bias
- AMT CVD → Aggression, Absorption, Exhaustion signals
█ SETTINGS
Display Settings:
- Compact Mode - Enable for cleaner mobile view
- Show Labels - Toggle level labels
- Label Size - Adjust for your screen
VWAP Settings:
- Band Multipliers - Adjust SD band distance (default: 1.0 and 2.0)
- Colors - Fully customizable
- Line widths - Adjust visibility
Alerts:
- Near VWAP
- Near ±1 SD
- Near ±2 SD (extreme zones)
█ METHODOLOGY
This indicator is based on Auction Market Theory as taught by Fabio Valentino:
"The market is a continuous auction seeking fair value. VWAP represents this fair value dynamically throughout the session. Deviations from VWAP create trading opportunities as price tends to revert to the mean."
Key principles:
- Read, don't predict
- Location over technique
- Evidence-based entries
█ ALERTS
Set alerts for:
- Price approaching VWAP (potential support/resistance)
- Price at ±1 SD (first deviation - watch for reaction)
- Price at ±2 SD (extreme - high probability reversal zone)
█ NOTES
- Works on all timeframes
- Best used on 15m for intraday entries
- VWAP resets daily at market open
- Combine with volume profile for best results

Fractal Market Geometry [JOAT]
Fractal Market Geometry
Overview
Fractal Market Geometry is an open-source overlay indicator that combines fractal analysis with harmonic pattern detection, Fibonacci retracements and extensions, Elliott Wave concepts, and Wyckoff phase identification. It provides traders with a geometric framework for understanding market structure and identifying potential reversal patterns with multi-factor signal confirmation.
What This Indicator Does
The indicator calculates and displays:
Fractal Detection - Identifies fractal highs and lows using Williams-style pivot analysis with configurable period
Fractal Dimension - Calculates market complexity using range-based dimension estimation
Harmonic Patterns - Detects Gartley, Butterfly, Bat, Crab, Shark, Cypher, and ABCD patterns using Fibonacci ratios
Fibonacci Retracements - Key levels at 38.2%, 50%, and 61.8%
Fibonacci Extensions - Projection level at 161.8%
Elliott Wave Count - Simplified wave counting based on pivot detection (1-5)
Wyckoff Phase - Volume-based phase identification (Accumulation, Markup, Distribution, Neutral)
Golden Spiral Levels - ATR-based support and resistance levels using phi (1.618) ratio
Trend Detection - EMA crossover trend identification (20/50 EMA)
How It Works
Fractal detection uses a configurable period to identify swing points:
detectFractalHigh(simple int period) =>
bool result = true
float centerVal = high
for i = 0 to period - 1
if high >= centerVal or high >= centerVal
result := false
break
Harmonic pattern detection uses Fibonacci ratio analysis between swing points. Each pattern has specific ratio requirements:
Gartley: AB 0.382-0.618, BC 0.382-0.886, CD 1.27-1.618
Butterfly: AB 0.382-0.5, BC 0.382-0.886, CD 1.618-2.24
Bat: AB 0.5-0.618, BC 1.13-1.618, CD 1.618-2.24
Crab: AB 0.382-0.618, BC 0.382-0.886, CD 2.24-3.618
Shark: AB 0.382-0.618, BC 1.13-1.618, CD 1.618-2.24
Cypher: AB 0.382-0.618, BC 1.13-1.414, CD 0.786-0.886
Wyckoff phase detection analyzes volume relative to price movement:
wyckoffPhase(simple int period) =>
float avgVol = ta.sma(volume, period)
float priceChg = ta.change(close, period)
string phase = "NEUTRAL"
if volume > avgVol * 1.5 and math.abs(priceChg) < close * 0.02
phase := "ACCUMULATION"
else if volume > avgVol * 1.5 and math.abs(priceChg) > close * 0.05
phase := "MARKUP"
else if volume < avgVol * 0.7
phase := "DISTRIBUTION"
phase
Signal Generation
Signals use multi-factor confirmation for accuracy:
BUY Signal: Fractal low + Uptrend (EMA20 > EMA50) + RSI 30-55 + Bullish candle + Volume confirmation
SELL Signal: Fractal high + Downtrend (EMA20 < EMA50) + RSI 45-70 + Bearish candle + Volume confirmation
Pattern Detection: Label appears when harmonic pattern completes at current bar

CandelaCharts - Composite Pressure Index 📝 Overview
The CandelaCharts – Composite Pressure Index (CPI) is a multi-factor oscillator that blends RSI , Money Flow Index (MFI) , and Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) into a single, stretchable “pressure” line. Instead of looking at three separate indicators, CPI compresses price momentum and volume flow into one normalized curve around 0 , then amplifies extremes using a rolling z-score .
The result is a dynamic gauge of buying vs. selling pressure that can travel beyond ±1 during strong regime shifts, helping you spot exhaustion, climaxes, and trend-strength phases more intuitively.
📦 Features
Composite pressure engine – Combines RSI, MFI, and CMF into a single normalized oscillator around 0, giving you a unified view of market pressure.
Custom weighting of components – Independently weight RSI, MFI, and CMF to prioritize pure price momentum or volume-driven signals.
Rolling z-score stretch – Uses a configurable z-score window to “stretch” the composite values, letting the line exceed ±1 during extremes instead of staying capped.
Adaptive amplitude control – An amplitude (gain) factor lets you scale how aggressive or subtle the CPI swings appear.
EMA smoothing – Optional smoothing removes noise while preserving the timing of swings and reversals.
Visual pressure band – Zero, +1, and -1 reference lines with a shaded band make it easy to see when pressure is “normal” vs. extended.
Dynamic color gradients – Warm/orange tones above 0 for bullish pressure and cool/blue tones below 0 for bearish pressure, with saturation increasing as pressure intensifies.
NA-safe statistics – Custom mean and standard deviation routines ensure stable behavior from the start of the chart and during partial history.
⚙️ Settings
RSI Length : Lookback length for RSI . Higher values smooth the RSI component; lower values make it more reactive to short-term price momentum.
MFI Length : Lookback length for the manual Money Flow Index . Adjust this to control how sensitive CPI is to price–volume interaction.
CMF Length : Lookback length for Chaikin Money Flow . This defines the window used to assess accumulation/distribution through volume flow.
RSI Weight : Relative importance of RSI within the composite. Increasing this emphasizes pure price momentum in the CPI.
MFI Weight : Relative importance of MFI. Higher values strengthen the influence of volume-weighted price moves.
CMF Weight : Relative importance of CMF. Raising this highlights accumulation/distribution as a driver of the pressure index.
Smoothing : EMA length applied to the stretched CPI line. A value of 1 effectively disables smoothing, while higher values reduce noise at the cost of a slight lag.
Z-score Window : Rolling window used to compute the mean and standard deviation of the raw composite. This defines the statistical context for what counts as “extreme”. Shorter windows adapt faster; longer windows give a more stable regime.
Amplitude : Gain factor applied to the z-scored composite. Values above 1.0 exaggerate swings and make extremes more visually pronounced; values below 1.0 compress them.

Divergences
📒 Usage
1. Identify directional pressure regimes
Use 0 as the key balance line:
CPI > 0 → Net bullish pressure (buyers in control).
CPI < 0 → Net bearish pressure (sellers in control).
You can treat prolonged stays above or below 0 as confirmations of trend direction, especially when price structure agrees.
2. Read statistical extremes instead of fixed levels
Because CPI is stretched via a z-score , values beyond ±1 typically represent statistically meaningful extremes within your chosen window:
CPI > +1 → Overextended bullish pressure / potential euphoria.
CPI < -1 → Overextended bearish pressure / potential capitulation.
These zones are not automatic reversal signals, but they highlight areas where monitoring for exhaustion, blow-offs, or risk-reward shifts can be beneficial.
3. Spot divergences with price
Classic divergence logic applies particularly well when pressure is composite:
Bearish divergence – Price makes higher highs, but CPI makes lower highs or fails to confirm.
Bullish divergence – Price makes lower lows, but CPI makes higher lows or shows less downside extension.
These patterns can be integrated with support/resistance, liquidity levels, and other CandelaCharts tools.
4. Tune the weights to your strategy
Adjust the three weights to match your focus:
Higher RSI weight → More sensitivity to pure price momentum (good for breakout or trend-following systems).
Higher MFI weight → Greater emphasis on price–volume interaction (ideal for spotting volume-confirmed moves).
Higher CMF weight → Stronger focus on accumulation/distribution (helpful for swing and position traders).
5. Integrate with existing setups
The CPI is designed to sit comfortably below price:
Use it as a “context” oscillator underneath your main price-action and liquidity models.
Combine CPI extremes and divergences with key levels, range models, or order flow signals for higher-confluence entries.

Session Range Control [PointAlgo]Session Range Control (SRC)
The Session Range Control (SRC) indicator provides a structured view of intraday price behavior by tracking where the current price sits within the session’s high–low range and how today’s volatility compares to the Average Daily Range (ADR). It combines range analytics, momentum context, volatility interpretation, and visual cues to help traders understand session strength and shifts in intraday conditions.
Core Concept
Every trading session forms a unique high and low. SRC continuously reads these values and calculates the Position in Range, expressed on a scale from 0% to 100%:
0% → Price at Day Low
100% → Price at Day High
50% → Mid-range equilibrium
By normalizing price into a percentage, traders can quickly interpret where market pressure is concentrated during the session.
Trend Zones and Market State
SRC divides the range into logical zones to show the likely sentiment of the session:
1. Strong Uptrend Zone (Above Threshold)
When price consistently holds above the user-defined upper threshold (e.g., 60%), the indicator marks a Strong Uptrend.
This typically reflects:
Persistent intraday buying pressure
Price acceptance near the upper part of the range
Reduced likelihood of deep pullbacks
2. Strong Downtrend Zone (Below Threshold)
When price remains below the lower threshold (e.g., 40%), SRC signals a Strong Downtrend, indicating:
Dominant intraday selling
Consistent pressure keeping price near session lows
3. Bullish / Bearish Zones
Between the midline and strong thresholds, SRC displays softer trend zones:
Above 50% = Bullish Zone
Below 50% = Bearish Zone
These zones help classify whether price is trending, balanced, or drifting.
4. Neutral Territory
When price hovers around the mid-level without conviction, the indicator treats it as a neutral or undecided phase.
Signal Logic :
SRC includes built-in momentum shift signals based on range transitions:
Long Signal
Triggered when price crosses upward through 50%, often showing:
A shift from intraday weakness to strength
Buyers gaining control of the session
Short Signal
Triggered when price crosses downward through 50%, suggesting:
Loss of intraday strength
Sellers taking control
These signals help highlight potential turning points inside the session.
Extreme Levels :
SRC highlights the top and bottom 10% of the range:
> 90% = Extreme High (Overbought intraday condition)
< 10% = Extreme Low (Oversold intraday condition)
These conditions can be useful for identifying overextended movements or potential reaction zones.
ADR Comparison and Volatility Context :
The indicator also measures how today’s price range compares to the Average Daily Range (ADR):
Range Expanding: Today’s range is significantly larger than the ADR
Indicates heightened volatility
Often associated with trending or breakout environments
Range Compressing: Today’s range is much smaller
Suggests low volatility
Common before breakout phases
Characteristic of consolidation or balanced markets
This volatility context helps traders assess whether the session is behaving within normal boundaries or deviating significantly.
Dashboard Overview :
When enabled, the dashboard summarizes key intraday metrics in a structured table:
Trend status (Strong Uptrend, Strong Downtrend, Bullish, Bearish, Neutral)
Range position (%)
Signal status (Long Cross, Short Cross, Extreme High/Low, or None)
Day range calculation
Range vs ADR (%)
Day High / Day Low
Current price level
Simplified action label based on current conditions
This provides a quick reference system to interpret both trend and volatility at a glance without analyzing the full chart visually.
Visual Elements
SRC includes:
Colored dynamic plot for easy trend recognition
Horizontal reference lines at key levels (0%, 50%, 100%, strong-trend thresholds)
Background shading during extreme zone conditions
A separate ADR comparison plot
These visuals ensure the indicator remains intuitive regardless of chart style or timeframe.
Alerts
The script includes alert conditions for:
Long cross
Short cross
Strong trend detection
Extreme high / extreme low
These allow users to automate notifications during key market events without manually monitoring the chart.
Customization Options
Users can configure:
ADR length
Strong trend thresholds
Dashboard visibility
Dashboard position on chart
This makes SRC adaptable to different trading instruments and intraday styles.
Usage Notes
Works best on intraday timeframes where session boundaries are clearly defined.
Designed for analytical interpretation—trend bias, volatility phase, and range structure.
Can complement other tools such as moving averages, volume, or market structure analysis.

Elliott Wave + SMC Fusion # Elliott Wave + SMC Fusion
## TITLE:
Elliott Wave + Smart Money Concepts Fusion
---
## SHORT DESCRIPTION:
Automated Elliott Wave pattern detection with Smart Money Concepts confirmation, EWO oscillator integration, and confluence scoring system.
---
## FULL DESCRIPTION:
### 📊 OVERVIEW
This indicator combines three powerful trading methodologies into a unified system:
- **Elliott Wave Theory** - Automated detection of Wave 1-2 impulse patterns
- **Smart Money Concepts (SMC)** - Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps for institutional confirmation
- **Elliott Wave Oscillator (EWO)** - Momentum-based signal validation
The core concept is to identify high-probability Wave 3 entries by detecting completed Wave 1-2 structures and validating them with SMC and momentum indicators.
---
### 🔧 HOW IT WORKS
**1. Pattern Detection (ZigZag Method)**
- Uses pivot high/low detection to identify swing points
- Validates Wave 2 retracement using Fibonacci ratios (default: 38.2% - 88.6%)
- Requires minimum wave size to filter noise
- Applies confirmation bars to avoid premature signals
**2. Wave Projections**
- Wave 3 target: Fibonacci extension of Wave 1 (default: 1.618)
- Wave 4 retracement: Percentage of Wave 3 (default: 38.2%)
- Wave 5 projection: Extension of Wave 1 from Wave 4
**3. Smart Money Validation**
- **Order Blocks**: Identifies last opposing candle before breakout (institutional footprint)
- **Fair Value Gaps**: Detects price imbalances for potential support/resistance
**4. EWO Confirmation**
- Calculates momentum: (EMA5 / EMA34 - 1) × 100
- Signal line crossovers confirm trend direction
- Strong signals occur at extremes (< -13 or > 13 threshold)
**5. Confluence Scoring (0-100%)**
Points awarded for:
- Fibonacci quality of Wave 2 retracement (10-30 pts)
- Order Block presence (15 pts)
- Fair Value Gap presence (10 pts)
- Volume confirmation (10-15 pts)
- Trend alignment with EMA50 (10 pts)
- EWO confirmation (10-20 pts)

### 🎯 UNIQUE FEATURES
**Pattern Locking System**
- Once a valid pattern is detected, it locks until:
- Pattern invalidates (price breaks Wave 0)
- Pattern completes (Wave 5 reached)
- Auto-timeout (configurable bars)
- Prevents rapid signal flipping and false alerts
**Signal Stability Controls**
- Adjustable cooldown between signals (default: 20 bars)
- Minimum bar distance between wave points
- Direction change requirement option
- Confirmation bars after Wave 2 formation
**Visual Wave Tracking**
- Solid lines for impulse waves (0→1, 2→3, 4→5)
- Dashed lines for corrective waves (1→2, 3→4)
- Numbered labels on each wave point
- Real-time projection lines to targets
**Comprehensive Dashboard**
- Current wave status and lock state
- Pattern grade (A+ to D based on confluence)
- Projected vs actual wave levels (✓ when completed)
- SMC confirmation status
- Risk/Reward ratio calculation
- EWO trend direction

### 📈 TRADING APPLICATION
**Entry Strategy**
- Wait for Wave 1-2 pattern detection (diamond signal)
- Check confluence score (>65% = higher probability)
- Verify EWO alignment with pattern direction
- Enter after 30% retracement of Wave 2 (customizable)
**Risk Management**
- Stop Loss: Below Wave 0 (with buffer)
- Take Profit 1: Wave 3 projection
- Take Profit 2: Wave 5 projection
- R:R displayed in dashboard
**Invalidation Rules**
- Price breaks below Wave 0 (bullish) or above (bearish)
- Wave 2 level violated before Wave 3 forms
- Pattern timeout exceeded

### ⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES
- This indicator identifies **potential** Elliott Wave patterns based on mathematical rules
- Elliott Wave analysis is subjective - patterns may be interpreted differently
- Always combine with other analysis methods and proper risk management
- Past pattern performance does not guarantee future results
- Pattern locking prevents repainting but delays new pattern detection
- Best used on higher timeframes (1H+) for cleaner wave structures

### 📚 METHODOLOGY REFERENCES
**Elliott Wave Theory**
- Wave 2 typically retraces 38.2% - 88.6% of Wave 1
- Wave 3 is often the strongest, extending 161.8% of Wave 1
- Wave 4 usually retraces 38.2% of Wave 3
- Wave 5 completes the impulse structure
**Smart Money Concepts**
- Order Blocks represent institutional supply/demand zones
- FVGs indicate price inefficiencies that may act as magnets
**Elliott Wave Oscillator**
- Developed to identify wave momentum
- Crossovers signal potential wave transitions
- Extreme readings often coincide with wave completions
