Volume Profile and Volume Indicator by DGTVolume Profile (also known as Price by Volume) is an charting study that displays trading activity over a specified time period at specific price levels. It is plotted as a horizontal histogram on the finacial isntrumnet's chart that highlights the trader's interest at specific price levels.
The histogram is used by traders to predict areas of support and resistance. Price levels where the traded volume is high could be assumed as support and resistance levels.
Price may experience difficulty moving above or below areas with large bars. Usually there is a great deal of activity on both the buy and sell side and the market stays at that price level for a great deal of time
It is advised to use volume profile in conjunction with other forms of technical analysis to maximize the odds of success
Light version of Volume Profile is added to Price Action - Support & Resistance by DGT

Commitment of Traders: Legacy Metrics█ OVERVIEW
This indicator displays the Commitment of Traders (COT) legacy data for futures markets.
█ CONCEPTS
Commitment of Traders (COT) data is tallied by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) , a US federal agency that oversees the trading of derivative markets such as futures in the US. It is weekly data that provides traders with information about open interest for an asset. The CFTC oversees derivative markets traded on different exchanges, so COT data is available for assets that can be traded on CBOT, CME, NYMEX, COMEX, and ICEUS.
A detailed description of the COT report can be found on the CFTC's website .
COT data is separated into three notable reports: Legacy, Disaggregated, and Financial. This indicator presents data from the legacy report, which is broken down by exchange. Legacy reports break down the reportable open interest positions into two classifications: non-commercial and commercial traders.
Our other COT indicators are:
• Commitment of Traders: Disaggregated Metrics
• Commitment of Traders: Financial Metrics
• Commitment of Traders: Total
█ HOW TO USE IT
Load the indicator on an active chart (see here if you don't know how).
By default, the indicator uses the chart's symbol to derive the COT data it displays. You can also specify a CFTC code in the "CFTC code" field of the script's inputs to display COT data from a symbol different than the chart's.
The rest of this section documents the script's input fields.
Metric
Each metric represents a different column of the Commitment of Traders report. Details are available in the explanatory notes on the CFTC's website .
Here is a summary of the metrics:
• "Open Interest" is the total of all futures and/or option contracts entered into and not yet offset by a transaction, by delivery, by exercise, etc.
The aggregate of all long open interest is equal to the aggregate of all short open interest.
• "Traders Total" is the number of all unique reportable traders, regardless of the trading direction.
• "Traders Total Reportable/Traders Noncommercial/Traders Commercial" are the quantities of traders reported to hold any position with the specified direction.
All of a trader's reported futures positions in a commodity are classified as commercial if the trader uses futures contracts in that particular commodity for hedging.
To determine the total number of reportable traders in a market, a trader is counted only once, whether or not the trader appears in more than one category.
• "Total Reportable/Noncommercial/Commercial Positions" are all positions held by all reportable/non-commercial/commercial traders.
• "Non-reportable Positions" is derived by subtracting total long and short "Reportable Positions" from the total open interest.
Accordingly, the number of traders involved and the commercial/non-commercial classification of each trader are unknown.
• "Concentration Gross/Net LT 4/8 TDR" is the percentage of open interest held by 4/8 of the largest traders, by gross/net positions,
without regard to whether they are classified as commercial or non-commercial. The Net position ratios are computed after offsetting each trader’s equal long and short positions.
A reportable trader with relatively large, balanced long and short positions in a single market, therefore,
may be among the four and eight largest traders in both the gross long and gross short categories, but will probably not be included among the four and eight largest traders on a net basis.
Direction
Each metric is available for a particular set of directions. Valid directions for each metric are specified with its name in the "Metric" field's dropdown menu.
Type
Possible values are: All, Old, Other. When commodities have a well-defined marketing season or crop year (e.g. Wheat or Lean Hogs futures), this determines how the data is aggregated. Detailed explanation can be found in the "Old and Other Futures" section of the CTFC Explanatory Notes linked above. The "Major Markets for Which the COT Data Is Shown by Crop Year" table in the Explanatory Notes specifies the commodities that this distinction applies to; selecting "Old" for any of the commodities not in that list will return the same data as in "All", while selecting "Other" will return 0.
COT Selection Mode
This field's value determines how the script determines which COT data to return from the chart's symbol:
- "Root" uses the root of a futures symbol ("ES" for "ESH2020").
- "Base currency" uses the base currency in a forex pair ("EUR" for "EURUSD").
- "Currency" uses the quote currency, i.e., the currency the symbol is traded in ("JPY" for "TSE:9984" or "USDJPY").
- "Auto" tries all modes, in turn.
If no COT data can be found, a runtime error is generated.
Note that if the "CTFC Code" input field contains a code, it will override this input.
Futures/Options
Specifies the type of Commitment of Traders data to display: data concerning only Futures, only Options, or both.
CTFC Code
Instead of letting the script generate the CFTC COT code from the chart and the "COT Selection Mode" input when this field is empty, you can specify an unrelated CFTC COT code here, e.g., 001602 for wheat futures.

• "Traders Total" is the quantity of all unique reportable traders, regardless of the trading direction.
• "Traders Producer Merchant" is the number of traders classified as a "producer/merchant/processor/user" reported holding any position with the specified direction.
A "producer/merchant/processor/user" is an entity that predominantly engages in the production, processing, packing or handling of a physical commodity and
uses the futures markets to manage or hedge risks associated with those activities.
• "Traders Swap" is the number of traders classified as "swap dealers" reported holding any position with the specified direction.
A "swap dealer" is an entity that deals primarily in swaps for a commodity and uses the futures markets to manage or hedge the risk associated with those swaps transactions.
The swap dealer’s counterparties may be speculative traders, like hedge funds, or traditional commercial clients that are managing risk arising from their dealings in the physical commodity.
• "Traders Managed Money" is the number of traders classified as "money managers" reported holding any position with the specified direction.
A "money manager" is a registered trader that is engaged in managing and conducting organized futures trading on behalf of clients.
• "Traders Other Reportable" is the number of reportable traders that are not placed in any of the three categories specified above.
• "Traders Total Reportable" is the number of traders reported holding any position with the specified direction.
To determine the total number of reportable traders in a market, a trader is counted only once whether or not the trader appears in more than one category.
As a result, the sum of the numbers of traders in each separate category typically exceeds the total number of reportable traders.
• "Producer Merchant/Swap/Managed Money/Total Reportable/Other Reportable Positions" is all positions held by the traders of the specified category.
• "Nonreportable Positions" is the long and short open interest derived by subtracting the total long and short reportable positions from the total open interest.
Accordingly, the number of traders involved and the classification of each trader are unknown.
• "Concentration Gross/Net LE 4/8 TDR" is the percentage of open interest held by 4/8 of the largest traders (entities), by Gross/Net positions, without regard to how they are classified.
The Net position ratios are computed after offsetting each trader’s equal long and short positions.
A reportable trader with relatively large, balanced long and short positions in a single market,

FuTech V-Spike & V-HighlighterFuTech V-Spike & V-Highlighter
In the context of trading and technical analysis, this volume spike & volume highlighter indicator is the perfect indicator used to assess market activity and make informed trading decisions.
Let's Understand in brief as below :
1) Volume Spike :
A volume spike refers to a sudden, significant increase in trading volume compared to the average volume over a specific period.
This spike can indicate heightened interest in a particular security, often preceding price movements.
Traders may look for volume spikes as signals for potential buy or sell opportunities because they can suggest that a stock is experiencing increased activity, possibly due to news, earnings releases, or other catalysts.
Characteristics of a Volume Spike:
Assess the sudden increase in trading volume.
It Can occur in both upward and downward price movements.
Often compared to the average volume over a defined period (e.g., the last 20 days).
2) Volume Highlighter:
A volume highlighter emphasizes significant changes in trading volume on a price chart. This indicator typically uses color coding to highlight periods of high volume, making it easier for traders to identify volume spikes at a glance.
How this indicator works:
a) Volume Spike will calculate the highest volume spike as per the user defined threshold multiplier. (Multiplier = when volume exceeds a certain threshold)
b) The threshold Multiplier can be set based on a fixed number or as a multiple of the Exponential Moving Average volume. Volume Spike Multiplier default is 1.5, means the EMA volume should cross 1.5 times the user defined lookback period
c) The result is derived from the user defined lookback candles by using its EMA instead of SMA, which will give us more precise results.
d) By default, last 10 candles EMA average is used to calculate the Volume Spike but you can choose your lookback period as many days, weeks, months, years of your choice !
e) In Volume Spike -
- Green candle will show Yellow color Bar as Bullish sentiments, whereas
- Red candle will show Black Bar as Bearish sentiments.
f) Volume Highlighter will highlight the candles background if the highest volume is crossing as per the the user defined lookback period
g) Default Lookback period is 20, Color coding (e.g., Blue for bullish spikes, Red for bearish spikes) helps traders quickly assess the volume context.
h) Volume Highlighter plotting shapes and positions can be modified
Illustration:
From the Above pic,
If last Volume Spike is 10 lookback candles, Spike multiplier is 1.5 and Highlighter lookback candles is 20,
Then yellow candle means the spike in volume which is 1.5 times higher than the last 10 candles
Highlighting color defines the highest volumes trading from the last 20 candles which is either Blue (Bullish) or Red (Bearish) sentiments
Conclusion :
Using FuTech V-Spike & V-Highlighter indicator - will help traders identify potential trading opportunities and better understand market dynamics.
By analyzing volume in conjunction with price movements, traders can make more informed decisions based on market sentiment.

Grid Bot Parabolic [xxattaxx]🟩 The Grid Bot Parabolic, a continuation of the Grid Bot Simulator Series , enhances traditional gridbot theory by employing a dynamic parabolic curve to visualize potential support and resistance levels. This adaptability is particularly useful in volatile or trending markets, enabling traders to explore grid-based strategies and gain deeper market insights. The grids are divided into customizable trade zones that trigger signals as prices move into new zones, empowering traders to gain deeper insights into market dynamics and potential turning points.
While traditional grid bots excel in ranging markets, the Grid Bot Parabolic’s introduction of acceleration and curvature adds new dimensions, enabling its use in trending markets as well. It can function as a traditional grid bot with horizontal lines, a tilted grid bot with linear slopes, or a fully parabolic grid with curves. This dynamic nature allows the indicator to adapt to various market conditions, providing traders with a versatile tool for visualizing dynamic support and resistance levels.
🔑 KEY FEATURES 🔑
Adaptable Grid Structures (Horizontal, Linear, Curved)
Buy and Sell Signals with Multiple Trigger/Confirmation Conditions
Secondary Buy and Secondary Sell Signals
Projected Grid Lines
Customizable Grid Spacing and Zones
Acceleration and Curvature Control
Sensitivity Adjustments
📐 GRID STRUCTURES 📐
Beyond its core parabolic functionality, the Parabolic Grid Bot offers a range of grid configurations to suit different market conditions and trading preferences. By adjusting the "Acceleration" and "Curvature" parameters, you can transform the grid's structure:
Parabolic Grids
Setting both acceleration and curvature to non-zero values results in a parabolic grid.This configuration can be particularly useful for visualizing potential turning points and trend reversals. Example: Accel = 10, Curve = -10)
Linear Grids
With a non-zero acceleration and zero curvature, the grid tilts to represent a linear trend, aiding in identifying potential support and resistance levels during trending phases. Example: Accel =1.75, Curve = 0
Horizontal Grids
When both acceleration and curvature are set to zero, the indicator reverts to a traditional grid bot with horizontal lines, suitable for ranging markets. Example: Accel=0, Curve=0
⚙️ INITIAL SETUP ⚙️
1.Adding the Indicator to Your Chart
Locate a Starting Point: To begin, visually identify a price point on your chart where you want the grid to start.This point will anchor your grid.
2. Setting Up the Grid
Add the Grid Bot Parabolic Indicator to your chart. A “Start Time/Price” dialog will appear
CLICK on the chart at your chosen start point. This will anchor the start point and open a "Confirm Inputs" dialog box.
3. Configure Settings. In the dialog box, you can set the following:
Acceleration: Adjust how quickly the grid reacts to price changes.
Curve: Define the shape of the parabola.
Intervals: Determine the distance between grid levels.
If you choose to keep the default settings, with acceleration set to 0 and curve set to 0, the grid will display as traditional horizontal lines. The grid will align with your selected price point, and you can adjust the settings at any time through the indicator’s settings panel.
⚙️ CONFIGURATION AND SETTINGS ⚙️
Grid Settings
Accel (Acceleration): Controls how quickly the price reacts to changes over time.
Curve (Curvature): Defines the overall shape of the parabola.
Intervals (Grid Spacing): Determines the vertical spacing between the grid lines.
Sensitivity: Fine tunes the magnitude of Acceleration and Curve.
Buy Zones & Sell Zones: Define the number of grid levels used for potential buy and sell signals.
* Each zone is represented on the chart with different colors:
* Green: Buy Zones
* Red: Sell Zones
* Yellow: Overlap (Buy and Sell Zones intersect)
* Gray: Neutral areas
Trigger: Chooses which part of the candlestick is used to trigger a signal.
* `Wick`: Uses the high or low of the candlestick
* `Close`: Uses the closing price of the candlestick
* `Midpoint`: Uses the middle point between the high and low of the candlestick
* `SWMA`: Uses the Symmetrical Weighted Moving Average
Confirm: Specifies how a signal is confirmed.
* `Reverse`: The signal is confirmed if the price moves in the opposite direction of the initial trigger
* `Touch`: The signal is confirmed when the price touches the specified level or zone
Sentiment: Determines the market sentiment, which can influence signal generation.
* `Slope`: Sentiment is based on the direction of the curve, reflecting the current trend
* `Long`: Sentiment is bullish, favoring buy signals
* `Short`: Sentiment is bearish, favoring sell signals
* `Neutral`: Sentiment is neutral. No secondary signals will be generated
Show Signals: Toggles the display of buy and sell signals on the chart
Chart Settings
Grid Colors: These colors define the visual appearance of the grid lines
Projected: These colors define the visual appearance of the projected lines
Parabola/SWMA: Adjust colors as needed. These are disabled by default.
Time/Price
Start Time & Start Price: These set the starting point for the parabolic curve.
* These fields are automatically populated when you add the indicator to the chart and click on an initial location
* These can be adjusted manually in the settings panel, but he easiest way to change these is by directly interacting with the start point on the chart
Please note: Time and Price must be adjusted for each chart when switching assets. For example, a Start Price on BTCUSD of $60,000 will not work on an ETHUSD chart.
🤖 ALGORITHM AND CALCULATION 🤖
The Parabolic Function
At the core of the Parabolic Grid Bot lies the parabolic function, which calculates a dynamic curve that adapts to price action over time. This curve serves as the foundation for visualizing potential support and resistance levels.
The shape and behavior of the parabola are influenced by three key user-defined parameters:
Acceleration: This parameter controls the rate of change of the curve's slope, influencing its tilt or steepness. A higher acceleration value results in a more pronounced tilt, while a lower value leads to a gentler slope. This applies to both curved and linear grid configurations.
Curvature: This parameter introduces and controls the curvature or bend of the grid. A higher curvature value results in a more pronounced parabolic shape, while a lower value leads to a flatter curve or even a straight line (when set to zero).
Sensitivity: This setting fine-tunes the overall responsiveness of the grid, influencing how strongly the Acceleration and Curvature parameters affect its shape. Increasing sensitivity amplifies the impact of these parameters, making the grid more adaptable to price changes but potentially leading to more frequent adjustments. Decreasing sensitivity reduces their impact, resulting in a more stable grid structure with fewer adjustments. It may be necessary to adjust Sensitivity when switching between different assets or timeframes to ensure optimal scaling and responsiveness.
The parabolic function combines these parameters to generate a curve that visually represents the potential path of price movement. By understanding how these inputs influence the parabola's shape and behavior, traders can gain valuable insights into potential support and resistance areas, aiding in their decision-making process.
Sentiment
The Parabolic Grid Bot incorporates sentiment to enhance signal generation. The "Sentiment" input allows you to either:
Manually specify the market sentiment: Choose between 'Long' (bullish), 'Short' (bearish), or 'Neutral'.
Let the script determine sentiment based on the slope of the parabolic curve: If 'Slope' is selected, the sentiment will be considered 'Long' when the curve is sloping upwards, 'Short' when it's sloping downwards, and 'Neutral' when it's flat.
Buy and Sell Signals
The Parabolic Grid Bot generates buy and sell signals based on the interaction between the price and the grid levels.
Trigger: The "Trigger" input determines which part of the candlestick is used to trigger a signal (wick, close, midpoint, or SWMA).
Confirmation: The "Confirm" input specifies how a signal is confirmed ('Reverse' or 'Touch').
Zones: The number of "Buy Zones" and "Sell Zones" determines the areas on the grid where buy and sell signals can be generated.
When the trigger condition is met within a buy zone and the confirmation criteria are satisfied, a buy signal is generated. Similarly, a sell signal is generated when the trigger and confirmation occur within a sell zone.
Secondary Signals
Secondary signals are generated when a regular buy or sell signal contradicts the prevailing sentiment. For example:
A buy signal in a bearish market (Sentiment = 'Short') would be considered a "secondary buy" signal.
A sell signal in a bullish market (Sentiment = 'Long') would be considered a "secondary sell" signal.
These secondary signals are visually represented on the chart using hollow triangles, differentiating them from regular signals (filled triangles).
While they can be interpreted as potential contrarian trade opportunities, secondary signals can also serve other purposes within a grid trading strategy:
Exit Signals: A secondary signal can suggest a potential shift in market sentiment or a weakening trend. This could be a cue to consider exiting an existing position, even if it's currently profitable, to lock in gains before a potential reversal
Risk Management: In a strong trend, secondary signals might offer opportunities for cautious counter-trend trades with controlled risk. These trades could utilize smaller position sizes or tighter stop-losses to manage potential downside if the main trend continues
Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA): During a prolonged trend, the parabolic curve might generate multiple secondary signals in the opposite direction. These signals could be used to implement a DCA strategy, gradually accumulating a position at potentially favorable prices as the market retraces or consolidates within the larger trend
Secondary signals should be interpreted with caution and considered in conjunction with other technical indicators and market context. They provide additional insights into potential market reversals or consolidation phases within a broader trend, aiding in adapting your grid trading strategy to the evolving market dynamics.
Examples
Trigger=Wick, Confirm=Touch. Signals are generated when the wick touches the next gridline.
Trigger=Close, Confirm=Touch. Signals require the close to touch the next gridline.
Trigger=SWMA, Confirm=Reverse. Signals are triggered when the Symmetrically Weighted Moving Average reverse crosses the next gridline.
🧠THEORY AND RATIONALE 🧠
The innovative approach of the Parabolic Grid Bot can be better understood by first examining the limitations of traditional grid trading strategies and exploring how this indicator addresses them by incorporating principles of market cycles and dynamic price behavior
Traditional Grid Bots: One-Dimensional and Static
Traditional grid bots operate on a simple premise: they divide the price chart into a series of equally spaced horizontal lines, creating a grid of trading zones. These bots excel in ranging markets where prices oscillate within a defined range. Buy and sell orders are placed at these grid levels, aiming to profit from mean reversion as prices bounce between the support and resistance zones.
However, traditional grid bots face challenges in trending markets. As the market moves in one direction, the bot continues to place orders in that direction, leading to a stacking of positions. If the market eventually reverses, these stacked trades can be profitable, amplifying gains. But the risk lies in the potential for the market to continue trending, leaving the trader with a series of losing trades on the wrong side of the market
The Parabolic Grid Bot: Adding Dimensions
The Parabolic Grid Bot addresses the limitations of traditional grid bots by introducing two additional dimensions:
Acceleration (Second Dimension): This parameter introduces a second dimension to the grid, allowing it to tilt upwards or downwards to align with the prevailing market trend. A positive acceleration creates an upward-sloping grid, suitable for uptrends, while a negative acceleration results in a downward-sloping grid, ideal for downtrends. The magnitude of acceleration controls the steepness of the tilt, enabling you to fine-tune the grid's responsiveness to the trend's strength
Curvature (Third Dimension): This parameter adds a third dimension to the grid by introducing a parabolic curve. The curve's shape, ranging from gentle bends to sharp turns, is controlled by the curvature value. This flexibility allows the grid to closely mirror the market's evolving structure, potentially identifying turning points and trend reversals.
Mean Reversion in Trending Markets
Even in trending markets, the Parabolic Grid Bot can help identify opportunities for mean reversion strategies. While the grid may be tilted to reflect the trend, the buy and sell zones can capture short-term price oscillations or consolidations within the broader trend. This allows traders to potentially pinpoint entry and exit points based on temporary pullbacks or reversals.
Visualize and Adapt
The Parabolic Grid Bot acts as a visual aid, enhancing your understanding of market dynamics. It allows you to "see the curve" by adapting the grid to the market's patterns. If the market shows a parabolic shape, like an upward curve followed by a peak and a downward turn (similar to a head and shoulders pattern), adjust the Accel and Curve to match. This highlights potential areas of interest for further analysis.
Beyond Straight Lines: Visualizing Market Cycle
Traditional technical analysis often employs straight lines, such as trend lines and support/resistance levels, to interpret market movements. However, many analysts, including Brian Millard, contend that these lines can be misleading. They propose that what might appear as a straight line could represent just a small part of a larger curve or cycle that's not fully visible on the chart.
Markets are inherently cyclical, marked by phases of expansion, contraction, and reversal. The Parabolic Grid Bot acknowledges this cyclical behavior by offering a dynamic, curved grid that adapts to these shifts. This approach helps traders move beyond the limitations of straight lines and visualize potential support and resistance levels in a way that better reflects the market's true nature
By capturing these cyclical patterns, whether subtle or pronounced, the Parabolic Grid Bot offers a nuanced understanding of market dynamics, potentially leading to more accurate interpretations of price action and informed trading decisions.
⚠️ DISCLAIMER⚠️
This indicator utilizes a parabolic curve fitting approach to visualize potential support and resistance levels. The mathematical formulas employed have been designed with adaptability and scalability in mind, aiming to accommodate various assets and price ranges. While the resulting curves may visually resemble parabolas, it's important to note that they might not strictly adhere to the precise mathematical definition of a parabola.
The indicator's calculations have been tested and generally produce reliable results. However, no guarantees are made regarding their absolute mathematical accuracy. Traders are encouraged to use this tool as part of their broader analysis and decision-making process, combining it with other technical indicators and market context.
Please remember that trading involves inherent risks, and past performance is not indicative of future results. It is always advisable to conduct your own research and exercise prudent risk management before making any trading decisions.
🧠 BEYOND THE CODE 🧠
The Parabolic Grid Bot, like the other grid bots in this series, is designed with education and community collaboration in mind. Its open-source nature encourages exploration, experimentation, and the development of new grid trading strategies. We hope this indicator serves as a framework and a starting point for future innovations in the field of grid trading.
Your comments, suggestions, and discussions are invaluable in shaping the future of this project. We welcome your feedback and look forward to seeing how you utilize and enhance the Parabolic Grid Bot.
Multi-Timeframe S/R & Breakout Projection1) What This Script Does
Collects S/R levels from the 15-minute and 1-hour timeframes, using each timeframe’s pivot detection.
Sorts those pivot-based levels by their distance from the current price, so you see the nearest levels first.
Draws up to a user-defined number of those levels as horizontal rays on the current chart.
Checks breakouts at the nearest S/R line (the one with the smallest distance from price):
Real Breakout: price breaks above a level and sustains above it for the specified number of bars.
False Breakout: price breaks above but quickly closes back below within the specified lookback.
On confirmation of a real or false breakout, that S/R line changes color to green if price is going higher, or red if price is going lower.
Displays a small table in the corner with:
Daily Trend: bullish or bearish, using an SMA on a 30-minute timeframe.
Sentiment: bullish or bearish, using RSI on the same 30-minute timeframe.
2) How It Works
Multi-Timeframe Pivot Detection
The script uses request.security() to fetch pivot highs/lows from two higher timeframes (15m and 60m).
It collects up to a user-specified number of these pivots (numRecent) from each TF.
Sorting & Plotting S/R Lines
Once pivot values are gathered, the script calculates their “distance” from current price.
It sorts them so that the S/R lines drawn on your chart are the nearest ones first.
Each line is drawn with a color and style you can customize:
srRayColor sets the overall color (e.g. yellow).
srRayStyleOptions can be Solid, Dashed, or Dotted.
Breakout Determination
After drawing the lines, the script looks at the nearest line and applies two specialized checks (f_isFalseBreakout & f_isRealBreakout):
A real breakout occurs if price closes above (or below) and remains on that side for breakLook bars.
A false breakout occurs if price closes above (or below) but quickly returns.
When a breakout is confirmed, that nearest line changes color to:
Green if price is ultimately going up,
Red if price is going down.
Daily Trend & Sentiment Table
A small table in the bottom-right corner shows:
Daily Trend: uses a 30-minute SMA to see if your price is above/below on that timeframe.
Sentiment: uses the RSI (also on 30m). A value over 50 suggests bullish sentiment; under 50 suggests bearish.
3) How to Use It
Timeframes & Pivots
Choose how many pivots (numRecent) from each TF to fetch (up to 10 total). A higher number means you’ll see more historical S/R lines.
Customize pivotLeft & pivotRight for how “wide” the pivot detection is.
Line Customization
In the script’s Inputs tab, you’ll find:
S/R Rays Color – sets the hue of the lines.
S/R Line Style – pick from Solid, Dashed, or Dotted.
Liquidity Lines Color – color for the smaller pivot lines from your chart timeframe’s pivot detection.
Breakout Lookback
breakLook determines how many bars must confirm or refute the breakout. Adjust it based on how conservative or aggressive you want the breakout detection.
Check the Table
In the bottom-right, watch the script’s “Daily Trend” & “Sentiment”. This can be a quick filter for trades:
“Bullish” daily trend with a bullish sentiment is often more favorable for long trades.
Conversely, “Bearish” daily trend & sentiment can confirm short ideas.
Scenarios
If you see a “Real Breakout” label near the line, the script recolors that line green or red, indicating a possible continuous move.
A “False Breakout” label suggests the price has quickly retraced.
4) Originality & Concepts
Multi-Timeframe Approach: Many S/R indicators fetch only local pivot lines; here, we explicitly gather pivot points from two separate TFs (15m & 60m) and project them onto your lower timeframe chart.
Distance-Based Sorting ensures you only see the nearest lines on the chart, preventing clutter from excessive lines.
Breakout Logic used is straightforward but effective: it checks if price truly holds beyond a level (real breakout) or fails to hold (false breakout).
Line Recoloring provides immediate visual feedback on the success or failure of the breakout.
5) Chart Usage
Plot this script on a relatively low timeframe chart (like the 1m, 5m, or 15m) to see the higher timeframe S/R lines.
Select how many S/R lines you want to show, choose the line style, set your pivot detection parameters, then watch for breakouts.
Tips:
Start with fewer lines (maxLevels=3 or 5) so the chart remains clear.
You can experiment with a small breakLook if you want more immediate breakout signals, or a higher breakLook if you need stronger confirmation.
Enjoy using the “Multi-Timeframe S/R & Breakout Projection” script! It simplifies the manual process of spotting higher timeframe pivot lines and helps you quickly assess potential breakouts or fakes on your intraday charts, all while giving you a snapshot of the higher timeframe’s trend and sentiment.

Big Whale Purchases and SalesBig Whale Purchases and Sales - plots big whale transactions on your chart!
People that hold more than 1% of a crypto currencies circulating supply are considered whales and have a huge influence on price, not just because they can move the market with their huge transactions, but also because other traders often track their wallets and follow their example. Taking a look at whale holdings, one can see why whale worship is so common in crypto: While Bitcoin has a relatively low whale concentration, many of the Top 100 Cryptocurrencies have whales control 60% or more of their circulating supply.
Integrating IntoTheBlock data, this script plots the transactions of these whales and, in strategy mode, copy trades them.
Features:
Strategy Mode: Switches the script between an indicator and a strategy.
Standard Deviations: The number of Standard Deviations that a transaction needs to surpass to be considered worth plotting. Setting this to 0 will show all whale transactions, higher settings will only show the biggest transactions.
Blockchain: The Chain on which Whale activity is tracked.
Volume Delta DashboardHow It Works:
This script creates a Volume Delta Dashboard on TradingView, which helps traders visualize the balance between buying and selling volume (Volume Delta) directly on the chart. Here's a breakdown of the key components:
Volume Delta Calculation:
The script calculates the Volume Delta by comparing the volume of bars where the price closed higher (buying pressure) to those where the price closed lower (selling pressure).
Positive Volume Delta (green background) indicates more buying activity than selling, suggesting upward price movement. Negative Volume Delta (red background) indicates more selling than buying, signaling a potential downward move.
Smoothing with EMA:
To make the volume delta trend smoother and more consistent, an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the Volume Delta is used. This helps to reduce noise and highlight the prevailing buying or selling pressure over a 14-period.
Dynamic Position Selection:
The user can choose where the Volume Delta dashboard table will appear on the chart by selecting a position: top-left, top-right, bottom-left, or bottom-right. This makes the indicator adaptable to different chart setups.
Coloring:
The background of the table changes color based on the value of the Volume Delta. Green indicates a positive delta (more buyers), and Red indicates a negative delta (more sellers).
Use of This Strategy:
This Volume Delta Dashboard strategy is particularly useful for traders who want to:
Monitor Market Sentiment:
By observing the volume delta, traders can get a sense of whether there is more buying or selling pressure in the market. Positive volume delta can indicate a bullish sentiment, while negative delta can point to bearish sentiment.
Confirm Price Action:
The Volume Delta can be used alongside price action to confirm the strength of a price move. For example, if the price is moving up and the volume delta is positive, it suggests that the price increase is supported by buying pressure.
Identify Divergences:
Volume delta can help traders spot divergences between price and volume. For example, if the price is moving higher but the volume delta is negative, it may suggest a weakening trend and a potential reversal.
Optimize Entry/Exit Points:
By understanding the relationship between price movement and volume, traders can make more informed decisions about entering or exiting positions. For instance, a sudden increase in buying volume (positive delta) may indicate a good entry point for a long position.
Overall, the Volume Delta Dashboard can serve as a powerful tool for improving decision-making, by providing real-time insights into market dynamics and trading sentiment.
Candle Body Percentages TableThis script is designed as an analysis tool to visually represent the relative strength of bullish and bearish market sentiments over a specified number of candles. It calculates and displays the percentages of bullish and bearish "candle bodies" as part of the total price range observed in the chosen period.
Here's a breakdown of its functionalities:
User-Defined Period Analysis: Users can specify the number of candles they wish to analyze, allowing for flexible and dynamic examination of market trends over different time frames.
Bullish Body Percentage: The script calculates the combined length of all bullish candle bodies (where the closing price is higher than the opening price) within the selected range and expresses this total as a percentage of the combined price range of all candles analyzed.
Bearish Body Percentage: Similarly, it computes the aggregate length of all bearish candle bodies (where the closing price is lower than the opening price) and presents this sum as a percentage of the total price range.
Visual Representation: The results are displayed in a table format on the chart, providing an immediate visual summary of the prevailing market dynamics. The table shows the percentages of price movement dominated by bullish or bearish sentiment.
Market Sentiment Indicator: This tool can be particularly useful for traders and analysts looking to gauge market sentiment. High bullish body percentages might indicate strong buying pressure, while high bearish body percentages could suggest significant selling pressure.
Strategic Decision Making: By providing a clearer picture of market sentiment over a user-defined period, the script aids in making informed trading decisions, potentially enhancing trading strategies that are sensitive to trends and market momentum.
Tomorrow Floor Pivots with CPR By Nifty ZThe colors for resistance and support levels have been updated to gradient reds and greens for clearer distinction.
The CPR band uses light blue and purple to stand out more effectively.
Here's a detailed explanation of the user inputs and the typical use of **Floor Pivots for Tomorrow’s Market Range** in a trading context, focusing on support, resistance, and breakout scenarios:
The script allows traders to customize key parameters for their analysis:
1. Pivot Timeframe:
- Users can select different timeframes for calculating floor pivots, such as 1 hour, 4 hours, daily, weekly, monthly, etc.
- This is crucial because the timeframe selection influences the granularity of the support and resistance levels for the next trading day.
- For instance, selecting a **Daily** timeframe will calculate floor pivots for the next trading day, while selecting **Weekly** will give levels for the upcoming week.
2. Show Floor Pivots:
- Users can toggle the visibility of the calculated **Floor Pivots**, which include resistance levels (R1, R2, R3, R4) and support levels (S1, S2, S3, S4).
3. Show CPR (Central Pivot Range):
- CPR (Central Pivot Range) is a key area where the price tends to consolidate.
- The script allows users to enable or disable the visibility of CPR, which consists of the BC (Bottom Central Pivot) and TC (Top Central Pivot).
4. Show Labels:
- Users can choose whether or not to display labels indicating the **Pivot**, **Support**, and Resistance levels on the chart. This can be helpful for visual analysis when day trading.
Understanding Floor Pivots
The Floor Pivots (Pivot, Resistance, and Support levels) for tomorrow's market range are calculated based on today’s high, low, and close. These levels help traders anticipate how the market may behave in the upcoming session.
1. Pivot:
- The Pivot Point is a central level, calculated as the average of the high, low, and close. It’s considered a reference point that determines the market’s overall bias.
- If the price is trading **above the pivot**, it generally suggests a **bullish** sentiment for the day.
- If the price is trading **below the pivot**, it suggests a **bearish** sentiment.
2. Resistance Levels (R1, R2, R3, R4):
- R1 is often the first area where price may stall in an uptrend. It represents the first major resistance level.
- **R2**, **R3**, and **R4** mark additional levels of resistance, progressively further away from the current price. These are used to project potential upward targets.
- These resistance levels are areas where the price might encounter selling pressure, especially during day trading.
3. **Support Levels (S1, S2, S3, S4):**
- Similarly, **S1** is the first area where the price might find support in a downtrend.
- **S2**, **S3**, and **S4** provide deeper support levels where the price may bounce from.
- These support zones are used by day traders to anticipate where the price might reverse upward.
### **Role of Resistance and Support in Day Trading**
- **Resistance Levels (R1, R2, R3, R4)** indicate potential areas where price could **stall** during an uptrend. These levels are useful for **short-term traders** looking to set exit points or identify reversal zones.
- **Support Levels (S1, S2, S3, S4)** highlight areas where the price could **find support** and potentially **bounce** higher. These levels are particularly helpful for identifying buy zones in a downtrend.
- If a price **breaks out** above the resistance levels or **breaks down** below the support levels, it often signals a strong trend continuation.
### **Understanding the Central Pivot Range (CPR)**
The **CPR** is formed by two key levels:
- **BC (Bottom Central Pivot):** The midpoint of the day’s high and low.
- **TC (Top Central Pivot):** The difference between the pivot and BC.
The CPR acts as a region of **consolidation** or **indecision** where the market is likely to stay within a narrow range. The width of the CPR gives traders a sense of volatility:
- A **narrow CPR** often signals that a **breakout** is imminent.
- A **wider CPR** suggests that the market could remain range-bound.
### **Market Sentiment Based on Floor Pivots**
The relationship between **today’s** and **tomorrow’s pivots** is crucial in determining the market sentiment for the next day.
1. **Bullish Case (Higher Highs):**
- If **tomorrow's pivot** is higher than **today's pivot**, it indicates a **bullish sentiment**. This suggests that the market is likely to trend upward in the next session.
- In a **bullish overlapping pivot range**, if **Day 1 (today)** is higher than **Day 2 (tomorrow)**, traders expect continued upward momentum.
2. **Bearish Case (Lower Lows):**
- Conversely, if **tomorrow's pivot** is lower than **today's pivot**, it suggests a **bearish sentiment** and that the market could trend downward in the next session.
- In a **bearish overlapping pivot range**, if **Day 1 (today)** is lower than **Day 2 (tomorrow)**, traders expect continued downward pressure.
### **Breakout Scenarios**
A breakout occurs when the price **violates either the support or resistance levels** significantly, indicating that the price is moving in the direction of the breakout.
1. **Bullish Breakout:**
- If the price consistently stays **above the CPR** and **resistance levels (R1, R2)**, it indicates a strong **bullish breakout**.
- This is especially true when the **CPR is narrow** for both days, signaling a buildup in price action and a potential breakout to the upside.
2. **Bearish Breakout:**
- If the price breaks **below the CPR** and **support levels (S1, S2)**, it indicates a **bearish breakout**.
- A narrow CPR on **both days** suggests that a breakout to the downside could be imminent.
3. **Neutral or Ranging Days:**
- Sometimes, the CPR stays **unchanged** for 4-5 days, indicating a period of **consolidation** where the price is moving within a tight range. This often leads to a significant breakout once the consolidation ends.
Strategic Application of Floor Pivots for Tomorrow
Traders use floor pivots to plan their next-day trades by:
- **Aligning with Market Sentiment:** Based on whether tomorrow’s pivot is higher or lower than today’s, traders can align their trades in the direction of the market’s overall bias.
- **Identifying Entry and Exit Points:** Resistance and support levels provide well-defined areas to enter or exit trades, making pivots essential for day trading strategies.
- **Anticipating Breakouts:** Monitoring the width of the CPR and the relation between pivots helps traders anticipate potential breakouts, allowing them to react quickly to sudden price movements.
By effectively using these pivots and understanding their significance, traders can improve their decision-making for short-term trades in the stock or futures markets.
TraderJoe TickMarket sentiment and market breadth are important factors for traders to consider when making trading decisions.
The TICK index , which reflects the buying and selling activity of an entire index, can provide valuable insights into market sentiment and breadth.
1. Assessing Market Sentiment:
- Positive TICK: When the TICK index is consistently positive (indicating more stocks are being bought at or above the asking price), it suggests overall bullish sentiment in the market.
- Negative TICK: Conversely, a consistently negative TICK indicates bearish sentiment, where more stocks are being sold at or below the asking price.
2. Market Breadth:
- Look at the TICK readings for various market indexes, not just one. If all major market indexes are experiencing the same sentiment (e.g., all have aggressive buyers), it's a stronger signal of a broader market trend.
3. Using the TICK for Entry and Exit:
- Positive TICK can be an entry signal for long positions. Traders might consider going long when the TICK index is consistently positive, indicating strong buying pressure in the market.
- Negative TICK can be an entry signal for short positions. When the TICK is consistently negative, it suggests selling pressure, making shorting more attractive.
- Exit positions or take profits when the TICK starts to show signs of reversing from its extreme levels. An excessively positive TICK might indicate overbought conditions, while an overly negative TICK may signal oversold conditions.
4. Combining TICK with Other Indicators:
- It's often beneficial to combine TICK analysis with other technical and fundamental indicators to increase the accuracy of your trading decisions. For example, you could use moving averages, RSI, or support and resistance levels to confirm your entry and exit points.
5. Low Float Stocks and TICK:
- Low float stocks can be more volatile, making TICK analysis even more crucial. In these cases, watch for extreme TICK readings, as they can trigger rapid price movements.
- Be cautious when trading low float stocks, as they can be susceptible to price manipulation due to limited liquidity. Use proper risk management techniques, like setting stop-loss orders.
6. Stay Informed:
- Keep an eye on news and events that might explain sudden shifts in market sentiment. Unexpected news, economic releases, or geopolitical events can quickly change market dynamics.

Rainbow Price Chart This indicator is a technical and on-chain analysis tool for Bitcoin, designed to help investors better understand the different phases of the market cycle and underlying sentiment. It directly overlays on the price chart (overlay=true).
Indicator Name: "Rainbow Price Chart & V/T Ratio Signals"
General Purpose:
It combines two popular methodologies for visualizing Bitcoin's value and sentiment: the classic "Rainbow Price Chart" and signals derived from the "Value per Transaction Ratio" (V/T Ratio) based on blockchain data. It is ideal for long-term investors looking for strategic entry/exit points.
Main Components:
Rainbow Price Chart:
Concept: Divides Bitcoin's price range into different market "sentiment zones" (e.g., "Bubble Zone," "FOMO Zone," "HODL Zone," "Accumulation Zone," "Buy Zone," "Fire Sale Zone") using colored bands. These bands are calculated as ascending and descending multiples of a base Exponential Moving Average (EMA), configurable by default to 200 periods.
Visualization: The zones are represented with transparent color fills on the price chart. A detailed legend in the top right corner of the chart explains the meaning of each color and sentiment zone.
Important Note: This type of chart is designed to be viewed and analyzed correctly on a logarithmic price scale. The indicator includes a visual reminder to activate this scale.
Value per Transaction (V/T) Ratio Signals:
Concept: Measures the average value per transaction on the Bitcoin blockchain by dividing the total transacted volume in USD by the number of transactions. This ratio is smoothed with an Exponential Moving Average (by default, 7 periods) and is framed within a dynamic Linear Regression Channel (LRC) based on standard deviation.
Signal Generation: Based on the position of the smoothed V/T Ratio within this LRC channel, the indicator generates signals directly on the price chart, such as:
"BOTTOM": Low price, V/T Ratio in the lower band of the LRC.
"SEMI-LOW" / "SEMI-HIGH": Intermediate phases within the channel.
"ATH" (All-Time High): Potentially overvalued price, V/T Ratio in the upper band of the LRC.
On-Chain Data: The indicator requests external daily on-chain data for total transacted volume (TVTVR) and number of transactions (NTRAN) from the Bitcoin blockchain.
Diagnostic Panes: Includes plots of the raw on-chain data (volume and number of transactions) in a separate pane, which are useful for debugging or verifying the data source. The lines for the V/T Ratio itself and its LRC channel are not plotted by default but can be activated in the code for deeper analysis.
Ideal for:
Bitcoin investors and "hodlers" who desire a visual tool that combines price-based market cycle context with fundamental signals derived from on-chain activity, to help identify key moments for accumulation or potential distribution.
Considerations:
Relies on the availability of external on-chain data (QUANDL:BCHAIN) within TradingView.
Functions best on a daily timeframe.
Market Internals: VolumeThe indicator plots the total volume of the NYSE and NASDAQ exchanges and identifies periods with significant asymmetry between Up Volume and Down Volume. It can be used as an additional tool to confirm broad market sentiment.
Chart shows Total Volume (TVOL) bars for SPY daily chart. Green bars for UVOL>>DVOL, Red for DVOL>>UVOL. Neutral bars are gray. Blue line shows median TVOL.
Rationale:
Up Volume (UVOL) and Down Volume (DVOL) represent the total volume of stocks that have increased or decreased in price, respectively, compared to the previous session's closing price. The magnitude of the price change is irrelevant.
When UVOL is significantly higher than DVOL, it indicates a prevailing buying sentiment in the broad market. Conversely, when DVOL is higher, it signals prevailing selling sentiment.
Occasionally, the UVOL/DVOL (VOLD) ratio may be misaligned with the movement of the S&P index. The picture below illustrates an example of a day when the S&P declined, yet the UVOL was twice larger than DVOL. Such a divergence can suggest that the S&P was pulled down by a decline in a few large-cap stocks, while the broader market remained positive. In this case, the divergence led to a continuation of the rally.
Thus, VOLD, when combined with volume analysis, can be an effective tool for confirming market trends.
Parameters:
VOLD Ratio – minimum ratio of UVOL/DVOL or DVOL/UVOL. Indicator will color code volume columns when condition is true (“green” means buying; “red” selling).
Median Length – number of periods to calculate median TVOL.
Show Divergencies – indicator marks divergencies between price and volume sentiments on the main chart. Only works for SPY chart.
Users can also choose which exchanges (NASDAQ/NYSE) to use for volume calculation.
Notes:
Volume is shown in millions of contracts
Indicator should be used on the daily or higher timeframes. It won't work properly on the intraday charts
Disclaimer
This indicator should not be used as a standalone tool to make trading decisions but only in conjunction with other technical analysis methods.
