What sets this indicator apart is its ability to seamlessly integrate and analyze support and resistance levels across multiple timeframes simultaneously. By combining data from three different timeframes, this indicator provides a holistic perspective on market trends and key levels. The adaptive nature of this tool ensures a dynamic assessment of support and resistance zones, empowering traders to adapt to changing market conditions efficiently.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configration
Support & Resistance Count -> Select between 1-3 support & resistance zones for each timeframe.
Pivot Range -> The pivot range is taken into calculations when finding high & low pivots in the chart. Increase if you need a more general look at the support & support zones, or decrease if you need a more detailed look.
Strength -> The strength of the support & resistance zones are determined by how many times the price touched the zone in the past. You can increase the strength up to 4.
Expand Lines & Zones -> If enabled, the support & resistance zones will be expanded to both left and right infinitely. If disabled, the support & resistance zones will be clamped between the time they are first seen, and the time they become broken.
2. Support & Resistance Zones
Enable Zones -> The support & resitsance lines will be converted to zones if enabled.
Zone Width -> The width of the zones. 1 -> %0.05, 2 -> %0.06, 3 -> %0.075.
3. Timeframes
Enable & Disable up to 3 different timeframes using the checkboxes. You can set the timeframes using the selectboxes.
4. Breaks & Retests
Show Breaks -> Points the break points with a blue label with the text "B" on it.
Show Retests -> Points the times when the support & resistance zones are being retested in the current chart.
Avoid False Breaks -> If enabled, the algorithm will try to avoid false break points by comparing the average volume of the point to a longer average volume.
Break Volume Threshold % -> If "Avoid False Breaks" option is enabled, the average volume of the break point should surpass the general average volume by this percent. Higher values mean it's less likely to be a break.
Inverse Color After Broken -> As broken support & resistance zones often become resistance & support zones respectively, if you enable this option the broken zones will inverse their color.
5. Alerts
To make the alerts work, you'll need to add an alert to the chart using the TradingView® alert feature.
Enable Retest Alerts -> You will receive alerts when restests happen on any of the support & resistance zones. "Show Retests" option needs to be enabled to get alerts of this category.
Enable Break Alerts -> You will receive alerts when breaks happen on any of the support & resistance zones.

Contraction Box & Doji LinesContraction & Doji Lines indicator is designed to identify and visualize potential support and resistance levels on a price chart. It does this by detecting doji candlestick patterns and drawing horizontal lines from the middle of the doji bodies to the right. Additionally, it also highlights price contraction zones with colored boxes.
The indicator first identifies doji candlestick patterns that it suggests indecision in the market, a horizontal line and these horizontal lines can act as potential support or resistance levels. Traders can observe price reactions around these lines. If the price approaches a line and bounces off it, it may indicate a significant level in the market.
In addition to doji lines, this indicator also highlights price contraction zones. When a contraction zone is detected, a colored box is drawn to highlight this zone. The box extends from the fifth bar ago (left side) to the current bar (right side), with the highest high and lowest low of the identified zone. The color and width of this box can be customized using the "Box Line Border Color," "Box Background Color," and "Box Width" parameters.
A possible strategy could be can use the doji lines as potential support and resistance levels to make trading decisions. For example, if the price breaks above a doji line and holds, it may indicate a bullish signal.
The colored boxes highlight areas of price contraction, which often precede significant price movements. Traders can use these zones to anticipate potential breakouts or breakdowns.
For example, you might enter a long (buy) position if it anticipate a breakout from a contraction zone with a target price set above the breakout level. Conversely, you might enter a short (sell) position if they anticipate a breakdown from a contraction zone with a target price set below the breakdown level.
Trend ChannelMarket engineers can use channels to find out when a market has entered an undervalued or overvalued zone. Purchases and sales take place in these zones. Professionals use trending channels to find out when the market has overtaken itself and where it is likely to reverse.
Upper channel line = EMA + EMA x channel coefficient
Lower channel line = EMA - EMA x channel coefficient
The topline reflects the bulls' strength in raising prices above the average value consensus. This line marks the normal limit of optimism in the market.
The bottom line of the channel reflects the strength of the bears pushing prices below the average consensus of values. This line marks the normal limit of pessimism in the market.
The coefficient is used to correct the distance to the moving average until the channel contains 95% of all prices. Only the tips and the lowest bottoms are allowed to protrude. For these peaks and curves and sideways trends, I have added two more switchable lines to the border lines, with a distance of 23.6% (light blue).
The larger the time frame, the wider the channel.
If you buy near a rising moving average, you take profits near the upper line of the channel.
If you are short near a falling moving average, you should close out near the bottom of the channel.
If the moving average is essentially flat, then you should be long on the bottom of the channel and short on the top of the channel. You realize profits when the prices have returned to their moving average to normal.
Interesting for day traders:
Adjust the moving average so that it has the same slope as the quotes on the hourly chart. With the coefficient you set the distance between the border lines. Perhaps adding the 23.6% lines will help, where the sideways trends are starting. Set the resolution to "1 hour". If you want to trade with these settings in short time units, e.g. in the 3 minute chart or in the 1 minute chart, then you now have target marks and indications in which direction the prices will possibly move when the prices have reached the moving average or one of the border lines.

Markttechniker können Kanäle verwenden um heraus zu finden, wann ein Markt eine unterbewertete oder überbewertete Zone erreicht hat. An diesen Zonen finden Käufe und Verkäufe statt. Profis benutzen Trendkanäle um herauszufinden, wann der Markt sich selbst überholt hat und wo er wahrscheinlich eine Umkehrbewegung vollziehen wird.
Obere Kanallinie = EMA + EMA x Kanalkoeffizient
Untere Kanallinie = EMA - EMA x Kanalkoeffizient
Die Oberlinie reflektiert die Kraft der Bullen, mit der sie die Kurse über den durchschnittlichen Wertekonsens anheben. Diese Linie kennzeichnet die normale Grenze des Optimismus im Markt.
Die untere Linie des Kanals reflektiert die Kraft der Bären, mit der sie die Kurse unter den durchschnittlichen Wertekonsens drücken. Diese Linie kennzeichnet die normale Grenze des Pessimismus im Markt.
Mit dem Koeffizienten wird der Abstand zum gleitenden Durchschnitt so lange korrigiert, bis der Kanal 95% aller Kurse enthält. Lediglich die Spitzen und die niedrigsten Böden dürfen herausragen. Für diese Spitzen und Bögen und Seitwärtstrends habe ich zu den Grenzlinien zwei weitere zuschaltbare Linien, mit einem Abstand von 23,6%, hinzugefügt (hellblau).
Je größer der Zeitrahmen ist, um so breiter ist der Kanal.
Wenn Sie in der Nähe eines ansteigenden gleitenden Durchschnitts kaufen, nehmen Sie die Gewinne in der Nähe der oberen Grenzlinie des Kanals mit.
Wenn Sie in der Nähe eines fallenden gleitenden Durchschnitts leerverkaufen, sollten Sie in der Nähe der unteren Grenzlinie des Kanals glattstellen.
Wenn der gleitende Durchschnitt im Wesentlichen flach ist, dann sollten Sie an der unteren Kanalbegrenzung eine Long-Position und an der oberen Kanalbegrenzung eine Short-Position einnehmen. Gewinne realisieren Sie jeweils, wenn die Kurse zu ihrem gleitenden Durchschnitt, zur Normalität zurückgekehrt sind.
Für Daytrader interessant:
Stellen Sie den gleitenden Durchschnitt so ein, dass er die gleiche Steigung wie die Notierungen im Stunden-Chart hat. Mit dem Koeffizienten Stellen Sie den Abstand der Grenzlinien ein. Vielleicht hilft die Zuschaltung der 23,6%-Linien, wo die Seitwärtstrends anstoßen. Stellen Sie die Auflösung auf „1 Stunde“. Wenn Sie mit diesen Einstellungen in niedrigen Zeiteinheiten traden wollen, z.B. im 3 Minuten-Chart oder im 1 Minuten-Chart, dann haben Sie jetzt Zielmarken und Hinweise in welche Richtung die Notierungen möglicherweise laufen werden, wenn die Notierungen den gleitenden Durchschnitt oder eine der Grenzlinien erreicht haben.
Der Text enthält Auszüge aus „Come into my Trading Room“ von Dr. Alexander Elder.
Der Indikator besitzt zur engen Umfang der Notierungen und endgültigen Richtungsbestimmung einen zusätzlichen exponentiellen gleitenden Durchschnitt mit einstellbarer Periode, einstellbarer Verschiebung und einstellbarer Quelle.

Quantum Uncertainty by Kingshuk GhoshLet me explain this indicator in simple, practical terms, including the fascinating physics concept that inspired me.
This indicator helps to understand when the market is predictable (safe to trade) versus unpredictable (risky to trade). It shows the probability zones where price is likely to move and warns you when conditions are too chaotic for reliable trading.
The Physics Behind It: Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle:-
This indicator is inspired by one of the most profound discoveries in physics: Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle.
What Is The Uncertainty Principle?
In 1927, physicist Werner Heisenberg discovered something remarkable about the universe: you cannot simultaneously know both the exact position and exact momentum of a particle with perfect precision. The more accurately you know one, the less accurately you can know the other.
Simple Analogy:
Imagine trying to photograph a speeding bullet:
Use fast shutter speed → You see exactly WHERE it is (position), but the image is frozen, so you can't tell HOW FAST it's moving (momentum)
Use slow shutter speed → You see motion blur showing HOW FAST it's moving (momentum), but you can't pinpoint exactly WHERE it is (position)
You can never have both perfect clarity simultaneously - there's always a trade-off.
How This Applies To Trading
The indicator translates this principle to financial markets:
In Physics:
Position Uncertainty × Momentum Uncertainty = Always greater than a minimum value
High uncertainty in one means high uncertainty overall
In Trading:
Price Position Uncertainty = How much the price bounces around (volatility)
Price Momentum Uncertainty = How erratic the directional strength is
Total Market Uncertainty = Price Volatility × Momentum Volatility
The Trading Insight:
Just like in physics, when BOTH price position and momentum are uncertain (highly volatile), the market becomes fundamentally unpredictable. You can't reliably know where price will go next because the system is in high uncertainty state.
Why This Matters For You
Traditional indicators often look at price OR momentum separately. This indicator recognizes that both must be considered together to truly understand market predictability, just as Heisenberg showed that position and momentum must be considered together in physics.
When both uncertainties are high simultaneously:
Price could jump anywhere
Momentum could shift instantly
Predictions become unreliable
Trading becomes gambling
When both uncertainties are low:
Price behavior is more regular
Momentum is more stable
Patterns become clearer
Trading becomes strategic
This is why the indicator's core metric multiplies price volatility by momentum volatility - it's capturing that fundamental uncertainty relationship.
Market Uncertainty
The indicator calculates how unpredictable the market currently is by examining:
How much price is bouncing around (price volatility)
How erratic the momentum is (momentum instability)
When both are high simultaneously, the market becomes highly unpredictable. When both are calm, the market is more reliable for trading.
Think of it like driving:
Low uncertainty = Clear road, good visibility, safe to drive
High uncertainty = Fog, rain, poor visibility, dangerous conditions
Probability Bands
The indicator draws colored bands around a central average price line:
White Center Line (Basis)
The average price over your lookback period
Acts as a equilibrium point where price gravitates
Blue Bands (Inner Zone)
Covers about 68% of normal price behavior
Price spends most of its time here
This is the "normal operating range"
Purple Bands (Outer Zone)
Covers about 95% of all price behavior
Price rarely ventures here
When it does, it's unusual and noteworthy
Highway Lane Analogy:
Most drivers stay in center lanes (blue zone)
Few drivers use extreme outer lanes (purple zone)
When someone drives on the shoulder, it's abnormal and signals something is happening
Wave Function Collapse
Another physics concept applied here: In quantum mechanics, particles exist in multiple states simultaneously (superposition) until they're measured - then the "wave function collapses" to a single state.
In This Indicator:
The probability bands represent all the possible states price could be in. When price moves and settles at a specific level, it's like the wave function collapsing - probability becomes reality.
The indicator helps you see:
Where price is most likely to be (high probability zones - blue bands)
Where price rarely goes (low probability zones - purple bands)
When price is in an "impossible" state (outside bands - tunneling)
Price Position
The indicator tracks where current price sits within these bands:
Upper position = Price in the top half (bullish territory)
Lower position = Price in the bottom half (bearish territory)
Extreme positions = Price in outer 30% on either side (potential reversal zones)
Quantum Tunneling Signals
This is another physics concept: In quantum mechanics, particles can sometimes "tunnel" through barriers that classical physics says they shouldn't be able to cross.
In Trading:
When price breaks through the 95% probability barrier, it's "tunneling" into statistically improbable territory - these are marked by triangles:
Green Triangle Up
Price tunneled through the upper 95% barrier
This is statistically rare (happens only 5% of the time)
Often signals price exhaustion or coming reversal downward
Like a particle that tunneled too far and will snap back
Red Triangle Down
Price tunneled through the lower 95% barrier
Also statistically unusual
Often signals panic selling may be overdone
Like a spring compressed too far, ready to bounce
These "tunneling events" are significant because they represent extreme deviations from normal probability - and markets tend to revert to normal.
Entanglement Score
In quantum physics, "entanglement" means two particles are connected such that measuring one instantly affects the other, no matter the distance.
In Trading:
This measures whether price movements are "entangled" with trading volume - do they move together in a connected way?
High Entanglement (above 0.5)
Price and volume move together
Volume confirms the price action
More reliable, trustworthy moves
Like entangled particles - they're truly connected
Low Entanglement (below 0.3)
Price moves without volume support
Suspicious, unsupported movements
Less reliable, be cautious
Like particles that aren't entangled - the connection is weak
Negative Entanglement
Price and volume move in opposite directions
Often signals divergence or potential reversal
Requires careful interpretation
Information Dashboard:
1. Uncertainty Level
Shows current market unpredictability (the core Heisenberg principle calculation):
✓ Normal (Green) = Market is behaving predictably, safe to trade
⚠ High Risk (Red) = Market is chaotic, avoid trading
This is your first checkpoint - if uncertainty is high, don't proceed further.
2. Probability Score
Shows how normal or extreme the current price is:
Percentage shown = Where price sits in the probability distribution
✓ Safe (Green) = Price in normal range (middle 70%)
⛔ Extreme (Red) = Price at statistical outliers (outer 15%)
High percentage (>85%) = Price near the average, stable situation
Low percentage (<15%) = Price at extremes, unstable situation
3. Position Indicator
Tells you which side of the market you're on:
Upper/Lower = Basic location in the bands
→ Neutral (Gray) = Price in balanced middle zone
⚠ Reversal? (Orange) = Price at extremes, watch for turnaround
This helps you anticipate potential support or resistance levels.
4. Entanglement Confirmation
Shows the correlation number and interpretation:
✓ Confirmed (Green) = Volume strongly supports price (>0.5)
⚠ Weak (Orange) = Poor volume support (<0.5)
Always prefer trading when entanglement is confirmed - it means the move is "real" with participant backing.
5. Trade Status - YOUR MAIN SIGNAL
This is the indicator's final verdict combining all factors:
✓ TRADEABLE (Green)
Uncertainty is normal
Probability is safe
Entanglement is decent
Action: Market conditions favor trading
⛔ AVOID (Red)
One or more conditions are unfavorable
Market is too unpredictable
Action: Stay out, preserve capital.
Scenario A: Perfect Buy Setup
Red triangle appears (quantum tunneling down)
Position shows "Lower" with "⚠ Reversal?" warning
Entanglement shows "✓ Confirmed"
Trade Status: "✓ TRADEABLE"
Interpretation: Price hit extreme low with volume support, likely to bounce back to probability zone
Action: Consider long entry with stop below recent low
Scenario B: Perfect Sell Setup
Green triangle appears (quantum tunneling up)
Position shows "Upper" with "⚠ Reversal?" warning
Entanglement shows "✓ Confirmed"
Trade Status: "✓ TRADEABLE"
Interpretation: Price hit extreme high, exhaustion in high uncertainty zone
Action: Consider short entry or exit longs with stop above recent high
Scenario C: High Uncertainty - Stay Out
Uncertainty shows "⚠ High Risk"
Probability shows "⛔ Extreme"
Trade Status: "⛔ AVOID"
Interpretation: Both price and momentum uncertainties are high - market is fundamentally unpredictable (Heisenberg principle in action)
Action: No trading, wait for uncertainty to decrease
Scenario D: Trending Market
Price consistently stays in upper bands
No tunneling signals
Entanglement remains high
Trade Status stays "✓ TRADEABLE"
Interpretation: Strong trend with low uncertainty
Action: Trade with the trend, don't fight it
Scenario E: Choppy, Range-Bound
Price bounces between inner blue bands
Frequent status changes between TRADEABLE and AVOID
Entanglement fluctuates
Interpretation: Market lacks direction, uncertainty fluctuating
Action: Use bands as support/resistance for scalping, or wait for breakout.
Why The Uncertainty Principle Matters In Trading
Traditional technical analysis often looks at indicators in isolation:
"RSI is oversold, so buy"
"Price is volatile, so wait"
"Volume is high, so trade"
But Heisenberg's principle teaches us that multiple uncertainties interact and compound. This indicator recognizes that truth:
When price volatility is high AND momentum is erratic:
You can't reliably predict where price will go
You can't reliably predict how strong the move will be
The combination creates fundamental unpredictability
This is when the indicator says "AVOID"
When price volatility is low AND momentum is stable:
Price behavior becomes more regular
Directional moves become more reliable
The low combined uncertainty creates tradeable conditions
This is when the indicator says "TRADEABLE"
The Probability Wave Function
In quantum mechanics, until you measure a particle, it exists in all possible states simultaneously (superposition). The probability wave describes where it's most likely to be found.
The bands work the same way:
Blue bands = Where price has 68% probability of being (1 standard deviation)
Purple bands = Where price has 95% probability of being (2 standard deviations)
Outside bands = Less than 5% probability (quantum tunneling territory)
When price is in the blue zone, it's in its "natural" superposition state - normal behavior.
When price tunnels outside, it's in an "improbable" state - like a quantum particle appearing where it shouldn't be. Physics tells us this can't last - the wave function will collapse back to normal probability zones. In trading, this means reversion to the mean.
Entanglement and Market Correlation
Quantum entanglement shows us that connections matter - particles don't act in isolation.
In markets:
Price shouldn't move in isolation from volume
When they're "entangled" (moving together), the move is authentic
When they're not entangled (price moves without volume), the move is suspicious
This is why the indicator checks entanglement - it's verifying that the market components are properly connected and confirming each other.
Golden Rules for the indicator:
Never trade during high uncertainty states - When the indicator shows AVOID, it's telling you that fundamental unpredictability (Heisenberg's principle) has taken over. This is non-negotiable.
Reduce position size when entanglement is weak - Even if uncertainty is low, weak volume entanglement means the move may not be authentic.
Respect the quantum tunneling signals - They mark statistical extremes where price has entered improbable territory. Reversion to normal probability zones is likely.
Don't chase price outside the bands - If you missed the tunneling entry, wait for price to return to normal probability zones.
Use the white center line as equilibrium - Like particles gravitating toward lower energy states, price tends to revert to its average.
Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle teaches us a profound lesson: some things are fundamentally unknowable. You cannot eliminate uncertainty - you can only measure it and decide whether it's low enough to act.
This indicator embraces that wisdom:
It doesn't claim to predict the future
It doesn't promise guaranteed wins
It simply measures current uncertainty
And tells you when conditions are favorable vs. unfavorable
The market, like quantum particles, is probabilistic, not deterministic. You're trading probabilities, not certainties. The indicator helps you identify when those probabilities are in your favor (low uncertainty) and when they're not (high uncertainty).
This is a more mature, realistic approach to trading than indicators that promise to "predict" moves. Instead, this indicator honestly assesses predictability itself.
Remember: Not trading during high uncertainty is just as important as trading during low uncertainty. Preservation of capital is the foundation of long-term success. As Heisenberg taught us, some moments are simply too uncertain to act - and that's okay.

Impulse Reactor RSI-SMA Trend Indicator [ApexLegion]Impulse Reactor RSI-SMA Trend Indicator
Introduction and Theoretical Background
Design Rationale
Standard indicators frequently generate binary 'BUY' or 'SELL' signals without accounting for the broader market context. This often results in erratic "Flip-Flop" behavior, where signals are triggered indiscriminately regardless of the prevailing volatility regime.
Impulse Reactor was engineered to address this limitation by unifying two critical requirements: Quantitative Rigor and Execution Flexibility.
The Solution
Composite Analytical Framework This script is not a simple visual overlay of existing indicators. It is an algorithmic synthesis designed to function as a unified decision-making engine. The primary objective was to implement rigorous quantitative analysis (Volatility Normalization, Structural Filtering) directly within an alert-enabled framework. This architecture is designed to process signals through strict, multi-factor validation protocols before generating real-time notifications, allowing users to focus on structurally validated setups without manual monitoring.
How It Works
This is not a simple visual mashup. It utilizes a cross-validation algorithm where the Trend Structure acts as a gatekeeper for Momentum signals:
Logic over Lag: Unlike simple moving average crossovers, this script uses a 15-layer Gradient Ribbon to detect "Laminar Flow." If the ribbon is knotted (Compression), the system mathematically suppresses all signals.
Volatility Normalization: The core calculation adapts to ATR (Average True Range). This means the indicator automatically expands in volatile markets and contracts in quiet ones, maintaining accuracy without constant manual tweaking.
Adaptive Signal Thresholding: It incorporates an 'Anti-Greed' algorithm (Dynamic Thresholding) that automatically adjusts entry criteria based on trend duration. This logic aims to mitigate the risk of entering positions during periods of statistical trend exhaustion.
Why Use It?
Market State Decoding: The gradient Ribbon visualizes the underlying trend phase in real-time.
◦ Cyan/Blue Flow: Strong Bullish Trend (Laminar Flow).
◦ Magenta/Pink Flow: Strong Bearish Trend.
◦ Compressed/Knotted: When the ribbon lines are tightly squeezed or overlapping, it signals Consolidation. The system filters signals here to avoid chop.
Noise Reduction: The goal is not to catch every pivot, but to isolate high-confidence setups. The logic explicitly filters out minor fluctuations to help maintain position alignment with the broader trend.
⚖️ Chapter 1: System Architecture
Introduction: Composite Analytical Framework
System Overview
Impulse Reactor serves as a comprehensive technical analysis engine designed to synthesize three distinct market dimensions—Momentum, Volatility, and Trend Structure—into a unified decision-making framework. Unlike traditional methods that analyze these metrics in isolation, this system functions as a central processing unit that integrates disparate data streams to construct a coherent model of market behavior.
Operational Objective
The primary objective is to transition from single-dimensional signal generation to a multi-factor assessment model. By fusing data from the Impulse Core (Volatility), Gradient Oscillator (Momentum), and Structural Baseline (Trend), the system aims to filter out stochastic noise and identify high-probability trade setups grounded in quantitative confluence.
Market Microstructure Analysis: Limitations of Conventional Models
Extensive backtesting and quantitative analysis have identified three critical inefficiencies in standard oscillator-based strategies:
• Bounded Oscillator Limitations (The "Oscillation Trap"): Traditional indicators such as RSI or Stochastics are mathematically constrained between fixed values (0 to 100). In strong trending environments, these metrics often saturate in "overbought" or "oversold" zones. Consequently, traders relying on static thresholds frequently exit structurally valid positions prematurely or initiate counter-trend trades against prevailing momentum, resulting in suboptimal performance.
• Quantitative Blindness to Quality: Standard moving averages and trend indicators often fail to distinguish the qualitative nature of price movement. They treat low-volume drift and high-velocity expansion identically. This inability to account for "Volatility Quality" leads to delayed responsiveness during critical market events.
• Fractal Dissonance (Timeframe Disconnect): Financial markets exhibit fractal characteristics where trends on lower timeframes may contradict higher timeframe structures. Manual integration of multi-timeframe analysis increases cognitive load and susceptibility to human error, often resulting in conflicting biases at the point of execution.
Core Design Principles
To mitigate the aforementioned systemic inefficiencies, Impulse Reactor employs a modular architecture governed by three foundational principles:
Principle A:
Volatility Precursor Analysis Market mechanics demonstrate that volatility expansion often functions as a leading indicator for directional price movement. The system is engineered to detect "Volatility Deviation" — specifically, the divergence between short-term and long-term volatility baselines—prior to its manifestation in price action. This allows for entry timing aligned with the expansion phase of market volatility.
Principle B:
Momentum Density Visualization The system replaces singular momentum lines with a "Momentum Density" model utilizing a 15-layer Simple Moving Average (SMA) Ribbon.
• Concept: This visualization represents the aggregate strength and consistency of the trend.
• Application: A fully aligned and expanded ribbon indicates a robust trend structure ("Laminar Flow") capable of withstanding minor counter-trend noise, whereas a compressed ribbon signals consolidation or structural weakness.
Principle C:
Adaptive Confluence Protocols Signal validity is strictly governed by a multi-dimensional confluence logic. The system suppresses signal generation unless there is synchronized confirmation across all three analytical vectors:
1. Volatility: Confirmed expansion via the Impulse Core.
2. Momentum: Directional alignment via the Hybrid Oscillator.
3. Structure: Trend validation via the Baseline. This strict filtering mechanism significantly reduces false positives in non-trending (choppy) environments while maintaining sensitivity to genuine breakouts.
🔍 Chapter 2: Core Modules & Algorithmic Logic
Module A: Impulse Core (Normalized Volatility Deviation)
Operational Logic The Impulse Core functions as a volatility-normalized momentum gauge rather than a standard oscillator. It is designed to identify "Volatility Contraction" (Squeeze) and "Volatility Expansion" phases by quantifying the divergence between short-term and long-term volatility states.
Volatility Z-Score Normalization
The formula implements a custom normalization algorithm. Unlike standard oscillators that rely on absolute price changes, this logic calculates the Z-Score of the Volatility Spread.
◦ Numerator: (atr_f - atr_s) captures the raw momentum of volatility expansion.
◦ Denominator: (std_f + 1e-6) standardizes this value against historical variance.
◦ Result: This allows the indicator scales consistently across assets (e.g., Bitcoin vs. Euro) without manual recalibration.
f_impulse() =>
atr_f = ta.atr(fastLen) // Fast Volatility Baseline
atr_s = ta.atr(slowLen) // Slow Volatility Baseline
std_f = ta.stdev(atr_f, devLen) // Volatility Standard Deviation
(atr_f - atr_s) / (std_f + 1e-6) // Normalized Differential Calculation
Algorithmic Framework
• Differential Calculation: The system computes the spread between a Fast Volatility Baseline (ATR-10) and a Slow Volatility Baseline (ATR-30).
• Normalization Protocol: To standardize consistency across diverse asset classes (e.g., Forex vs. Crypto), the raw differential is divided by the standard deviation of the volatility itself over a 30-period lookback.
• Signal Generation:
◦ Contraction (Squeeze): When the Fast ATR compresses below the Slow ATR, it registers a potential volatility buildup phase.
◦ Expansion (Release): A rapid divergence of the Fast ATR above the Slow ATR signals a confirmed volatility expansion, validating the strength of the move.
Module B: Gradient Oscillator (RSI-SMA Hybrid)
Design Rationale To mitigate the "noise" and "false reversal" signals common in single-line oscillators (like standard RSI), this module utilizes a 15-Layer Gradient Ribbon to visualize momentum density and persistence.
Technical Architecture
• Ribbon Array: The system generates 15 sequential Simple Moving Averages (SMA) applied to a volatility-adjusted RSI source. The length of each layer increases incrementally.
• State Analysis:
Momentum Alignment (Laminar Flow): When all 15 layers are expanded and parallel, it indicates a robust trend where buying/selling pressure is distributed evenly across multiple timeframes. This state helps filter out premature "overbought/oversold" signals.
• Consolidation (Compression): When the distance between the fastest layer (Layer 1) and the slowest layer (Layer 15) approaches zero or the layers intersect, the system identifies a "Non-Tradable Zone," preventing entries during choppy market conditions.
// Laminar Flow Validation
f_validate_trend() =>
// Calculate spread between Ribbon layers
ribbon_spread = ta.stdev(ribbon_array, 15)
// Only allow signals if Ribbon is expanded (Laminar Flow)
is_flowing = ribbon_spread > min_expansion_threshold
// If compressed (Knotted), force signal to false
is_flowing ? signal : na
Module C: Adaptive Signal Filtering (Behavioral Bias Mitigation)
This subsystem, operating as an algorithmic "Anti-Greed" Mechanism, addresses the statistical tendency for signal degradation following prolonged trends.
Dynamic Threshold Adjustment
• Win Streak Detection: The algorithm internally tracks the outcome of closed trade cycles.
• Sensitivity Multiplier: Upon detecting consecutive successful signals in the same direction, a Penalty_Factor is applied to the entry logic.
• Operational Impact: This effectively raises the Required_Slope threshold for subsequent signals. For example, after three consecutive bullish signals, the system requires a 30% steeper trend angle to validate a fourth entry. This enforces stricter discipline during extended trends to reduce the probability of entering at the point of trend exhaustion.
Anti-Greed Logic: Dynamic Threshold Calculation
f_adjust_threshold(base_slope, win_streak) =>
// Adds a 10% penalty to the difficulty for every consecutive win
penalty_factor = 0.10
risk_scaler = 1 + (win_streak * penalty_factor)
// Returns the new, harder-to-reach threshold
base_slope * risk_scaler
Module D: Trend Baseline (Triple-Smoothed Structure)
The Trend Baseline serves as the structural filter for all signals. It employs a Triple-Smoothed Hybrid Algorithm designed to balance lag reduction with noise filtration.
Smoothing Stages
1. Volatility Banding: Utilizes a SuperTrend-based calculation to establish the upper and lower boundaries of price action.
2. Weighted Filter: Applies a Weighted Moving Average (WMA) to prioritize recent price data.
3. Exponential Smoothing: A final Exponential Moving Average (EMA) pass is applied to create a seamless baseline curve.
Functionality
This "Heavy" baseline resists minor intraday volatility spikes while remaining responsive to sustained structural shifts. A signal is only considered valid if the price action maintains structural integrity relative to this baseline
🚦 Chapter 3: Risk Management & Exit Protocols
Quantitative Risk Management (TP/SL & Trailing)
Foundational Architecture: Volatility-Adjusted Geometry Unlike strategies relying on static nominal values, Impulse Reactor establishes dynamic risk boundaries derived from quantitative volatility metrics. This design aligns trade invalidation levels mathematically with the current market regime.
• ATR-Based Dynamic Bracketing:
The protocol calculates Stop-Loss and Take-Profit levels by applying Fibonacci coefficients (Default: 0.786 for SL / 1.618 for TP) to the Average True Range (ATR).
◦ High Volatility Environments: The risk bands automatically expand to accommodate wider variance, preventing premature exits caused by standard market noise.
◦ Low Volatility Environments: The bands contract to tighten risk parameters, thereby dynamically adjusting the Risk-to-Reward (R:R) geometry.
• Close-Validation Protocol ("Soft Stop"):
Institutional algorithms frequently execute liquidity sweeps—driving prices briefly below key support levels to accumulate inventory.
◦ Mechanism: When the "Soft Stop" feature is enabled, the system filters out intraday volatility spikes. The stop-loss is conditional; execution is triggered only if the candle closes beyond the invalidation threshold.
◦ Strategic Advantage: This logic distinguishes between momentary price wicks and genuine structural breakdowns, preserving positions during transient volatility.
• Step-Function Trailing Mechanism:
To protect unrealized PnL while allowing for normal price breathing, a two-phase trailing methodology is employed:
◦ Phase 1 (Activation): The trailing function remains dormant until the price advances by a pre-defined percentage threshold.
◦ Phase 2 (Dynamic Floor): Once armed, the stop level creates a moving floor, adjusting relative to price action while maintaining a volatility-based (ATR) buffer to systematically protect unrealized PnL.
• Algorithmic Exit Protocols (Dynamic Liquidity Analysis)
◦ Rationale: Inefficiencies of Static Targets Static "Take Profit" levels often result in suboptimal exits. They compel traders to close positions based on arbitrary figures rather than evolving market structure, potentially capping upside during significant trends or retaining positions while the underlying trend structure deteriorates.
◦ Solution: Structural Integrity Assessment The system utilizes a Dynamic Liquidity Engine to continuously audit the validity of the position. Instead of targeting a specific price point, the algorithm evaluates whether the trend remains statistically robust.
Multi-Factor Exit Logic (The Tri-Vector System)
The Smart Exit protocol executes only when specific algorithmic invalidation criteria are met:
• 1. Momentum Exhaustion (Confluence Decay): The system monitors a 168-hour rolling average of the Confluence Score. A significant deviation below this historical baseline indicates momentum exhaustion, signaling that the driving force behind the trend has dissipated prior to a price reversal. This enables preemptive exits before a potential drawdown.
• 2. Statistical Over-Extension (Mean Reversion): Utilizing the core volatility logic, the system identifies instances where price deviates beyond 2.0 standard deviations from the mean. While the trend may be technically bullish, this statistical anomaly suggests a high probability of mean reversion (elastic snap-back), triggering a defensive exit to capitalize on peak valuation.
• 3. Oscillator Rejection (Immediate Pivot): To manage sudden V-shaped volatility, the system monitors RSI pivots. If a sharp "Pivot High" or divergence is detected, the protocol triggers an immediate "Peak Exit," bypassing standard trend filters to secure liquidity during high-velocity reversals.
🎨 Chapter 4: Visualization Guide
Gradient Oscillator Ribbon
The 15-layer SMA ribbon visualized via plot(r1...r15) represents the "Momentum Density" of the market.
• Visuals:
◦ Cyan/Blue Ribbon: Indicates Bullish Momentum.
◦ Pink/Magenta Ribbon: Indicates Bearish Momentum.
• Interpretation:
◦ Laminar Flow: When the ribbon expands widely and flows in parallel, it signifies a robust trend where momentum is distributed evenly across timeframes. This is the ideal state for trend-following.
◦ Compression (Consolidation): If the ribbon becomes narrow, twisted, or knotted, it indicates a "Non-Tradable Zone" where the market lacks a unified direction. Traders are advised to wait for clarity.
◦ Over-Extension: If the top layer crosses the Overbought (85) or Oversold (15) lines, it visually warns of potential market overheating.
Trend Baseline
The thick, color-changing line plotted via plot(baseline) represents the Structural Backbone of the market.
• Visuals: Changes color based on the trend direction (Blue for Bullish, Pink for Bearish).
• Interpretation:
Structural Filter: Long positions are statistically favored only when price action sustains above this baseline, while short positions are favored below it.
Dynamic Support/Resistance: The baseline acts as a dynamic support level during uptrends and resistance during downtrends.
Entry Signals & Labels
Text labels ("Long Entry", "Short Entry") appear when the system detects high-probability setups grounded in quantitative confluence.
• Visuals: Labeled signals appear above/below specific candles.
• Interpretation:
These signals represent moments where Volatility (Expansion), Momentum (Alignment), and Structure (Trend) are synchronized.
Smart Exit: Labels such as "Smart Exit" or "Peak Exit" appear when the system detects momentum exhaustion or structural decay, prompting a defensive exit to preserve capital.
Dynamic TP/SL Boxes
The semi-transparent colored zones drawn via fill() represent the risk management geometry.
• Visuals: Colored boxes extending from the entry point to the Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) levels.
• Function:
Volatility-Adjusted Geometry: Unlike static price targets, these boxes expand during high volatility (to prevent wicks from stopping you out) and contract during low volatility (to optimize Risk-to-Reward ratios).
SAR + MACD Glow
Small glowing shapes appearing above or below candles.
• Visuals: Triangle or circle glows near the price bars.
• Interpretation:
This visual indicates a secondary confirmation where Parabolic SAR and MACD align with the main trend direction. It serves as an additional confluence factor to increase confidence in the trade setup.
Support/Resistance Table
A small table located at the bottom-right of the chart.
• Function: Automatically identifies and displays recent Pivot Highs (Resistance) and Pivot Lows (Support).
• Interpretation: These levels can be used as potential targets for Take Profit or invalidation points for manual Stop Loss adjustments.
🖥️ Chapter 5: Dashboard & Operational Guide
Integrated Analytics Panel (Dashboard Overview)
To facilitate rapid decision-making without manual calculation, the system aggregates critical market dimensions into a unified "Heads-Up Display" (HUD). This panel monitors real-time metrics across multiple timeframes and analytical vectors.
A. Intermediate Structure (12H Trend)
• Function: Anchors the intraday analysis to the broader market structure using a 12-hour rolling window.
• Interpretation:
◦ Bullish (> +0.5%): Indicates a positive structural bias. Long setups align with the macro flow.
◦ Bearish (< -0.5%): Indicates structural weakness. Short setups are statistically favored.
◦ Neutral: Represents a ranging environment where the Confluence Score becomes the primary weighting factor.
B. Composite Confluence Score (Signal Confidence)
• Definition: A probability metric derived from the synchronization of Volatility (Impulse Core), Momentum (Ribbon), and Trend (Baseline).
• Grading Scale:
Strong Buy/Sell (> 7.0 / < 3.0): Indicates full alignment across all three vectors. Represents a "Prime Setup" eligible for standard position sizing.
Buy/Sell (5.0–7.0 / 3.0–5.0): Indicates a valid trend but with moderate volatility confirmation.
Neutral: Signals conflicting data (e.g., Bullish Momentum vs. Bearish Structure). Trading is not recommended ("No-Trade Zone").
C. Statistical Deviation Status (Mean Reversion)
• Logic: Utilizes Bollinger Band deviation principles to quantify how far price has stretched from the statistical mean (20 SMA).
• Alert States:
Over-Extended (> 2.0 SD): Warning that price is statistically likely to revert to the mean (Elastic Snap-back), even if the trend remains technically valid. New entries are discouraged in this zone.
Normal: Price is within standard distribution limits, suitable for trend-following entries.
D. Volatility Regime Classification
• Metric: Compares current ATR against a 100-period historical baseline to categorize the market state.
• Regimes:
Low Volatility (Lvl < 1.0): Market Compression. Often precedes volatility expansion events.
Mid Volatility (Lvl 1.0 - 1.5): Standard operating environment.
High Volatility (Lvl > 1.5): Elevated market stress. Risk parameters should be adjusted (e.g., reduced position size) to account for increased variance.
E. Performance Telemetry
• Function: Displays the historical reliability of the Trend Baseline for the current asset and timeframe.
• Operational Threshold: If the displayed Win Rate falls below 40%, it suggests the current market behavior is incoherent (choppy) and does not respect trend logic. In such cases, switching assets or timeframes is recommended.
Operational Protocols & Signal Decoding
Visual Interpretation Standards
• Laminar Flow (Trade Confirmation): A valid trend is visually confirmed when the 15-layer SMA Ribbon is fully expanded and parallel. This indicates distributed momentum across timeframes.
• Consolidation (No-Trade): If the ribbon appears twisted, knotted, or compressed, the market lacks a unified directional vector.
• Baseline Interaction: The Triple-Smoothed Baseline acts as a dynamic support/resistance filter. Long positions remain valid only while price sustains above this structure.
System Calibration (Settings)
• Adaptive Signal Filtering (Prev. Anti-Greed): Enabled by default. This logic automatically raises the required trend slope threshold following consecutive wins to mitigate behavioral bias.
• Impulse Sensitivity: Controls the reactivity of the Volatility Core. Higher settings capture faster moves but may introduce more noise.

◦ Average Period (168) & Min Hold Bars (5): Defines the rolling window for momentum decay analysis and the minimum duration a trade must be held before Smart Exit logic activates.
🛡️ TRAILING STOP (Step)
◦ Use Trailing Stop: Activates the step-function trailing mechanism.
◦ Step 1 Activation % (0.5) & Offset % (0.5): The price must move 0.5% in your favor to arm the first trail level, which sets a stop 0.5% behind price.
◦ Step 2 Activation % (1) & Offset % (0.2): Once price moves 1%, the trail tightens to 0.2%, securing the position.
🌀 SAR & MACD SETTINGS (Secondary Confirmation)
◦ SAR Start/Increment/Max: Standard Parabolic SAR parameters.
◦ SAR Score Scaling (ATR): Adjusts how much weight the SAR signal has in the overall confluence score.
◦ MACD Fast/Slow/Signal: Standard MACD parameters used for the "Glow" signals.
🔄 ANTI-GREED LOGIC (Behavioral Bias)

◦ Strict Multiplier (Default: 1.1): Increases the entry difficulty by 10% after each win.
Role: Prevents overtrading and entering at the top of an extended trend.
🌍 HTF FILTER (Multi-Timeframe)
◦ Use Auto-Adaptive HTF Filter: Automatically selects a higher timeframe (e.g., 1H -> 4H) to filter signals.
◦ Bypass HTF on Steep Trigger: Allows an entry even against the HTF trend if the local momentum slope is exceptionally steep (catch powerful reversals).
📉 RSI PEAK & CHOPPINESS
◦ RSI Peak Exit (Instant): Triggers an immediate exit if a sharp RSI pivot (V-shape) is detected.
◦ Choppiness Filter: Suppresses signals if the Choppiness Index is above the threshold (Default: 60), indicating a flat market.
📐 SLOPE TRIGGER LOGIC
◦ Force Entry on Steep Slope: Overrides other filters if the price angle is extremely vertical (high velocity).
◦ Slope Sensitivity (1.5): The angle required to trigger this override.
⛔ FLAT MARKET FILTER (ADX & ATR)
◦ Use ADX Filter: Blocks signals if ADX is below the threshold (Default: 20), indicating no trend.
◦ Use ATR Flat Filter: Blocks signals if volatility drops below a critical level (dead market).

"⚠ BUY" (yellow) / "⚠ SELL" (orange)
Triggered when price breaks out of correction/consolidation in the OPPOSITE direction
Indicates a failed setup and potential trend reversal
More aggressive, counter-trend plays
Can be toggled off in settings for more conservative trading
Recommended only for experienced traders or after thorough backtesting
Swing Length Settings:
The swing length determines how many bars on each side are needed to confirm a swing high/low. This is the most important setting for tuning the indicator to your style.
Auto Mode (Recommended for beginners): Toggle "Use Auto Timeframe Settings" ON
5-minute: 30 bars
15-minute: 20 bars
30-minute: 12 bars
1-hour: 7 bars
4-hour: 5 bars
Daily: 3 bars
Manual Mode: Toggle "Use Auto Timeframe Settings" OFF
Lower values (3-7): More aggressive, detects smaller swings
Pros: More signals, faster entries, catches smaller moves
Cons: More noise, more false signals, requires tighter stops
Best for: Scalping, active day trading, volatile markets
Higher values (12-20): More conservative, only major swings
Pros: More reliable signals, fewer false breakouts, clearer structure
Cons: Fewer signals, delayed entries, might miss smaller opportunities
Best for: Swing trading, position trading, trending markets
Default Manual Setting: 7 bars (balanced for 1H charts)
Minimum: 3 bars
Consolidation Bars Setting:
Determines how many bars without new structure are needed before flagging consolidation.
Lower values (3-10): Faster detection, catches brief pauses, more sensitive
Best for: Lower timeframes, volatile markets, avoiding any chop
Higher values (20-40): More reliable, only flags true extended consolidation
Best for: Higher timeframes, trending markets, patient traders
Current defaults scale with timeframe (more bars needed on shorter timeframes)
Historical S/R Zones:
Shows previous support and resistance levels to provide context.
Default: 2 historical zones (shows current + 2 previous)
Range: 0-3 zones
Visual Hierarchy: Older zones are more transparent with dashed borders
Usage: Higher numbers (2-3) show more historical context but can clutter the chart. Start with 2 and adjust based on your preference.
Live Structure Feature (Yellow Warning ⚠):
Provides early warning of potential structure changes before full confirmation.
What it does: Detects potential swing highs/lows after just 2 bars instead of waiting for full swing_length confirmation
Live Peak: Shows when a high is followed by 2 lower closes (potential top forming)
Live Trough: Shows when a low is followed by 2 higher closes (potential bottom forming)
Important: These are UNCONFIRMED - they may be invalidated if price reverses
Use case: Get early awareness of potential reversals while waiting for confirmation
Displayed in: Info table only (no visual markers on chart to reduce clutter)
Only shows: Peaks higher than last swing high, or troughs lower than last swing low (filters out noise)
Higher Timeframe (HTF) Analysis:
View higher timeframe ICC structure while trading on lower timeframes.
How to enable: Toggle "Show Higher Timeframe ICC" ON
Setup: Set "Higher Timeframe" to your reference timeframe
Example: Trading on 15-minute? Set HTF to 240 (4-hour) or 60 (1-hour)
Example: Trading on 5-minute? Set HTF to 60 (1-hour) or 15 (15-minute)
What it shows:
HTF indication levels displayed as dashed lines
Blue = HTF Bullish Indication
Purple = HTF Bearish Indication
HTF phase and levels shown in info table
Trading workflow:
Check HTF phase for overall market direction
Wait for HTF correction phase
Drop to lower timeframe to find precise entries
Enter when lower TF shows continuation in alignment with HTF
Best practice: HTF should be 3-4x your trading timeframe for best results
Reversal Entries Toggle:
Default: ON (shows all signal types)
Toggle OFF for more conservative trading (only trend continuation signals)
Recommended: Backtest with both settings to see which works better for your style
New traders should consider disabling reversal entries initially
Volatility-Based Zones:
When enabled, support/resistance zones automatically adjust their height based on ATR (Average True Range).
More volatile = wider zones
Less volatile = tighter zones
Toggle OFF for fixed-width zones

Dynamic Support and Resistance with Trend LinesDynamic Support and Resistance with Trend Lines (DSRTL)
1. Introduction & Methodology
The DSRTL indicator is designed to provide a multidimensional analysis of market structure. Unlike traditional tools that rely solely on price pivots, this script combines Static Volume-based Zones with Dynamic Trend Lines to evaluate the price's position relative to critical market components.
The S/R Identification Technique
Instead of standard pivot points, DSRTL utilizes Volume Analysis to highlight areas of significant trader participation:
- Strategy A:
Matrix Climax: Identifies candles within the lookback period that are near price extremes (Highs/Lows) and coincide with significant buying or selling volume.
- Strategy B:
Volume Extremes: Detects candles with the absolute highest buy/sell volumes within the selected lookback window, creating extreme volume-based S/R zones.
- Result:
This creates Support/Resistance (S/R) zones that are validated by actual market activity, not just price geometry.
Dynamic Trend Lines
To complement the static zones, the indicator employs two adaptive channel methods:
- Pivot Span: Connects recent significant pivots for a fast, reactive trend corridor.
- 5-Point Channel: Segments the lookback period into 5 parts to perform a linear regression analysis, creating a stable and statistically significant channel.
2. Volume Calculation Methodology
Accurate S/R detection requires distinguishing Buy Volume from Sell Volume. DSRTL offers two calculation modes:
- Geometry (Source File): Estimates buy/sell volume based on the Close price's position relative to the High/Low of the candle.
Note: This is an approximation that works on all plan types as it does not require intrabar data.
- Intrabar (Precise): Analyzes historical lower-timeframe data (e.g., 15S) to calculate intrabar-based volume deltas with higher precision compared to the geometric method.
Note: This offers superior accuracy. It requires access to historical intrabar data (depending on your plan limits). For the best analytical results, use this mode if available.
3. The Smart Matrix Engine (3D Analysis)
The core of DSRTL is its dashboard, powered by the "Smart Matrix Engine." This engine evaluates the current price in a multi-layer market structure context (Static Volume Zones + Dynamic Channels + Volume Metrics).:
A. S-State (Static): Where is the price relative to the Volume S/R zones?
B. D-State (Dynamic): Where is the price relative to the Trend Channels?
How to read the Matrix Map:
The dashboard displays a 5x5 grid representing 25 possible market scenarios.
- Rows (S1-S5): Represent the Static State (S1=Breakout, S3=Mid-Range, S5=Breakdown).
- Columns (D1-D5): Represent the Dynamic State (D1=Overextended Up, D3=Neutral, D5=Overextended Down).
- Active Cell: Marked with a dot, indicating the specific intersection of price action and market structure.
4. Matrix Interpretations (The 25 Scenarios)
Below is the detailed logic for every possible state displayed on the dashboard, explaining the Title, Bias, and actionable Signal.
Section I: S1 - Static Breakout (Price > Static Resistance)
The price has cleared the static volume resistance zone.
- S1 / D1: HYPER EXTENSION
Bias: Extreme Bullish
Signal: Caution: Exhaustion Risk. Trail stops tight.
- S1 / D2: RESISTANCE CLASH

DISCLAIMER & EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE
This indicator is strictly an educational tool designed to visualize complex market structure concepts. Its primary purpose is to help traders "bridge the gap" between academic theory and real-time market behavior by providing a visual representation of support, resistance, and volume dynamics.
Please Note:
1. Not a Trading Strategy: This script is an analytical assistant, not a standalone "Black Box" trading system. It does not generate buy or sell signals that should be followed blindly.
2. No Financial Advice: The data provided by this tool is for informational purposes only. It is not a recommendation to buy or sell any asset.
3. Risk Warning: Trading involves significant risk. Always use your own judgment, perform your own technical analysis, and use proper risk management. Do not use this tool as the sole basis for your trading decisions.
4. Data Precision & Platform Limits: The "Intrabar (Precise)" calculation mode relies on high-resolution historical data to provide exact results. Access to this specific data depth depends entirely on your platform's subscription capabilities. If your plan does not support this level of historical intrabar data, the Precise mode may have limited coverage. In that case, you should switch to "Geometry" mode for a fully populated view.
Gann Levels (Auto) by RRR📌 Gann Levels (Auto) — Intraday, Swing & Elliott Wave Precision Tool
Gann Levels (Auto) is a high-accuracy price-reaction indicator designed for intraday scalpers, swing traders, and Elliott Wave traders who want clean, auto-updating support and resistance levels without manually drawing anything.
The indicator automatically detects the latest swing high & swing low and plots the 8 Gann Octave Levels between them. These levels act as a complete price map—showing equilibrium, structure, trend continuation zones, and reversal points with extreme precision.
🔥 Why This Indicator Stands Out
✔ Fully automatic swing detection
Levels update as structure evolves — no manual adjustments.
✔ All Gann Octave levels
Plots 1/8 through 8/8 including the critical 4/8 midpoint.
✔ Intraday-optimized
Exceptional on 1m, 3m, 5m, and 15m charts.
✔ Ultra-clean support & resistance
Levels act as reliable barriers and breakout zones.
⭐ MOST IMPORTANT LEVELS FOR INTRADAY
4/8 – Midpoint (Major Decision Pivot)
Strongest Gann level.
Controls trend or reversal for the session.
Breakout → Trend Day
Rejection → Reversal Day
8/8 & 0/8 – Extreme Structure Edges
Most likely zones for intraday reversals.
Perfect for scalp entries when combined with volume exhaustion.
🎯 How to Trade ELLIOTT WAVE Using Gann Levels
This indicator is exceptionally powerful when combined with Elliott Wave Theory.
Here is how to use it wave-by-wave:
🔵 Wave 2 → Identify Bottom Using 0/8 or 1/8 Levels
Wave 2 typically retraces deep but remains above key structure.
Gann confirmation:
Price stops at 0/8 or 1/8 zone
Rejection wick + low volume breakdown attempt
Bullish intent starts forming
This gives a perfect Wave 3 entry zone.
🔴 Wave 3 → Breakout Above 4/8 Midpoint
Wave 3 is the strongest impulsive wave.
The 4/8 level works like a force-field.
Wave 3 confirmation:
Price breaks and retests 4/8
Strong volume
No deep pullbacks after break
This is one of the most reliable Elliott + Gann trades.
🟡 Wave 4 → Uses 3/8 or 5/8 as Support/Resistance
Wave 4 is corrective and shallow compared to Wave 2.
Gann alignment:
Wave 4 often consolidates between 3/8 and 5/8
Levels act like range boundaries
Avoid trading inside chop; wait for breakout
This gives perfect continuation entries for Wave 5.
🟣 Wave 5 → Ends Near 7/8 or 8/8 Extreme Zone
Wave 5 usually ends in overbought territory.
Gann confirmation:
Price hits 7/8 or 8/8
Momentum weakens
Divergence builds (RSI/MACD optional)
Last push = exhaustion
This is where reversals or major pullbacks begin.
💥 BONUS: Corrective Waves (A-B-C)
Wave A:
Often rejects from 4/8 or 5/8.
Wave B:
Typically trapped between 3/8–5/8.
Wave C:
Usually ends around 0/8 (for bullish trend)
or 8/8 (for bearish trend).
These zones give ultra-high confidence entries.
⚙️ Who This Indicator Is Perfect For
Elliott Wave traders
Intraday scalpers
Swing traders
Price action & structure traders
Traders who want automatic support-resistance levels
Traders who want clean, non-cluttered levels

ROC & Momentum FusionROC & Momentum Fusion
(by HabibiTrades ©)
Purpose:
“ROC & Momentum Fusion” combines the Rate of Change (ROC) with a MACD-style signal engine to identify early momentum reversals, confirmed trend shifts, and low-volatility choppy zones.
It’s built for traders who want early momentum detection with the clarity of trend persistence — adaptable to any instrument and timeframe.
⚙️ How It Works
Rate of Change (ROC):
Measures the percentage speed of price change over time, showing the raw momentum strength.
Signal Line (EMA):
A short EMA of the ROC — responds faster to new directional shifts, similar to a MACD signal line.
Histogram:
Displays acceleration and deceleration between the ROC and its signal line.
Persistent Trend States:
When the ROC crosses the signal line or zero, the indicator enters a new momentum regime
(bullish or bearish) and stays in that color until another flip occurs.
Dynamic Choppy Zone:
When ROC momentum fades within the zero buffer zone, the indicator turns orange, signaling a sideways or indecisive market.
🟢 Visual Regimes
Regime Description Color
Bullish Momentum ROC above zero or signal line 🟢 Neon Green
Bearish Momentum ROC below zero or signal line 🔴 Neon Red
Choppy / Neutral ROC hovering within ±threshold range 🟠 Neon Orange
This color system makes it visually effortless to see whether the market is trending, reversing, or consolidating.
🧭 Adaptive Intelligence
The script automatically adjusts to market type and session for consistent accuracy:
Session Adaptive: Adjusts smoothing based on global sessions (Asian, London, New York, Sydney).
Instrument Adaptive: Fine-tunes sensitivity automatically for major assets — NASDAQ (NQ), S&P 500 (ES), Gold (GC), Oil (CL), Bitcoin (BTC).
Volatility Normalization: Optionally divides ROC by its own standard deviation to stabilize noisy assets and maintain consistent scaling.
🔔 Signals & Alerts
Bullish Reversal:
ROC crosses above its signal or zero line — early momentum flip.
Bearish Reversal:
ROC crosses below its signal or zero line — downward momentum flip.
Alerts:
Both reversal conditions include built-in alert triggers for automation and notifications.
🎨 Visual Features
Main ROC Line: Adaptive EMA of ROC, color-coded by trend regime.
Signal Line: Optional white EMA overlay for MACD-style crossovers.
Histogram: Visual burst display of acceleration (green/red).
Reversal Markers: Optional triangles marking exact crossover points.
Threshold Lines: Highlight the zero and buffer zones for visual clarity.
🧩 Best Use Cases
Identify early momentum shifts before price confirms them.
Confirm trend continuation or exhaustion with color persistence.
Detect choppy / low-volatility periods instantly.
Works across all timeframes — from 1-minute scalping to weekly swings.
Combine with structure, EMAs, or volume for confirmation.
⚙️ Recommended Settings
Setting Default Description
ROC Period 6 Core momentum length (lower = faster response).
Signal EMA Length 3 MACD-style responsiveness (lower = more reactive).
Zero Buffer Threshold 0.15 Defines the width of the neutral zone around zero.
Choppy Zone Multiplier 1.0 Expands or tightens the orange zone sensitivity.
These defaults have been optimized through real-market testing to balance responsiveness and smoothness across different asset classes.
⚠️ Notes
The color regime is persistent, meaning once the line turns bullish or bearish, it remains in that state until momentum structurally flips.
The orange zone represents momentum uncertainty and helps avoid false entries in range-bound markets.
Works seamlessly on any timeframe and with any asset.
X Feigenbaumplots forward “projection zones” derived from a user-defined Feigenbaum Deterministic Range (FDR). Starting from two anchor prices (p01a, p01b) that define the initial condition, the tool computes successive expansion zones above and below that range using fixed scale factors. Each zone is rendered as a shaded box with optional edge outlines, an auto-midline, and an optional label—giving you an at-a-glance map of where price may propagate next.
This indicator is a visual framework, not a signal generator. It’s meant to be combined with your existing structure/flow reads (order flow, VWAPs, ORs, HTF levels, etc.) to plan scenarios, targets, and invalidation.
Key ideas (context)
Initial condition → expansions: You define a deterministic base range (FDR) from which the script projects outward “echoes.”
Bidirectional mapping: Zones are drawn symmetrically as +1, +2, +3, +4 (above) and −1, −2, −3, −4 (below) to reflect potential propagation in either direction.
Diminishing confidence with distance: Farther zones are for scenario planning/targets; nearer zones are more actionable for risk placement and management.
How the levels are built
Feigenbaum Deterministic Range (FDR):
Inputs p01a and p01b define the initial range (FDR = p01a − p01b).
Category “F Range” draws that base box.
Projection Zones:
The script computes zone pairs by offsetting from the initial range using fixed multipliers of FDR. In code, these are the pre-set coefficients:
±1: 0.6714 and 1.5029
±2: 2.5699 and 3.6692
±3: 6.1398 and 8.3384
±4: 13.2796 and 17.6768
Each zone is two prices (a, b) forming a band; the same logic mirrors below the range for the negative side.
Rendering & midlines:
Each enabled category draws a filled box from the anchor bar to the right edge (current bar + extend_len).
Optional outlines (solid/dashed/dotted) for top/bottom/left/right edges.
Optional midline (always dashed) bisects each zone for quick reference.
Anchoring & timeframe logic
Anchor refresh: interval1 sets an HTF “clock” (e.g., Daily). On each new HTF bar, all categories re-anchor at that bar’s index so new projections start cleanly with the fresh session/period.
Extend control: extend_len nudges the right boundary beyond the latest bar for label/edge clarity.
Inputs & styling
Settings group:
Anchor 1 Timeframe (e.g., D) defines the refresh cadence.
Label toggles: show/hide, size, text color, and background.
Feigenbaum DR group:
Enable the base F range, set p01a/p01b, choose fill/line colors, outline style, and the mid toggle.
Ranger Factors groups (Zones ±1…±4):
Each zone can be enabled/disabled, inherits its computed prices, and has independent fill/line color, outline style, and mid toggle.
Practical usage
Scenario mapping: Use +/−1 zones for near-term impulse tracking and intraday targets; treat +/−3 and +/−4 as stretch objectives or “if trend persists” waypoints.
Confluence first: Prioritize trades when a Feigenbaum zone aligns with a known liquidity pool, session level (e.g., OR, ETH/RTH AVWAP), HTF pivot, or key option-derived levels.
Risk & invalidation: The base FDR and nearest zone edges provide clean invalidation references and partial-take structures.
Notes & limitations
The coefficients are fixed in this version (you can expose them as inputs if you want to calibrate per market).
Projections are descriptive, not predictive; treat farther zones as lower-confidence context.
Because anchors reset on the selected HTF, choose interval1 consistent with your playbook (e.g., Daily for RTH framing, Weekly for swing maps).
Output summary
Boxes: FDR (base), Zones +1/−1, +2/−2, +3/−3, +4/−4
Edges: Optional top/bottom/left/right per zone (styleable)
Midlines: Optional dashed mid per zone
Labels: Optional, style-controlled, positioned just beyond the right edge
50% Fib Trend Cloud + ATR BandsThis indicator plots two structural 50% fibonacci midpoints from recent confirmed 'left/right' swings that form a *cloud* of equilibrium, then adds a rolling 50% fibonacci range midpoint based on a lookback window that's wrapped in ATR bands. Importantly, it solves a specific trading problem:
Structural midpoints (macro context) are powerful but can lag when price escapes prior ranges. Enter rolling 50% fib + ATR ➡️ which restores real-time balance & tolerance (micro context). Together they show where price is balanced structurally, where it’s balanced right now, and how much volatility to tolerate before acting.
➖➖➖
🔑 Why this is different
Most tools either draw a single midpoint (ex., daily 50%) or ATR bands around a moving average. This script fuses dual swing-based 50% midpoints (structure) + a rolling 50% with ATR (flow), so you don’t lose context when price escapes prior ranges. The cloud tells you who’s in control (fast vs. slow structure). The rolling 50% + ATR tells you how far is “too far” now.
➖➖➖
🧠 What it does (at a glance)
🔸Structural Equilibrium × 2 (Fib1/Fib2)
Two independent 50% midpoints formed from swing pivots (configurable Left/Right bars + optional smoothing). Their gap is the Midpoint Cloud = structural “fair value” zone.
🔸Rolling 50% + ATR Bands
A rolling highest/lowest window computes an always-current 50% rolling midpoint plot; ±ATR × length envelopes define a soft value area and over-stretch boundaries.
🔸Actionable Visuals
Optional fill between Fib1/Fib2, labels, and candle-overlay modes to instantly read regime (above both / below both / between).
🔸Smart Defaults
Timeframe-aware presets for L/R pivots & smoothing; full manual overrides available.
➖➖➖
⚙️ Calculations (plain-English)
🔸Pivot midpoints (Fib1 & Fib2):
1) Detect a swing using `Left/Right` bars
2) Take the swing’s high/low → compute 50%
3) (Optional) Smooth the line (SMA) to stabilize on noisy TFs
4) Repeat with a different sensitivity to get two distinct midpoints
🔸Rolling midpoint:
Highest High / Lowest Low over the last *N* bars → (HH + LL) / 2
🔸ATR levels:
`Upper = Rolling50 + ATR × Mult`, `Lower = Rolling50 − ATR × Mult`
(Typical: ATR length 14–21; Multipliers 2.236 for L1, 5.382 for L2)
➖➖➖
🤖 Auto-Configured Presets (with Manual Override)
💡Goal: make the midpoints “just work” on common timeframes while still letting you dial them in.
💡How Auto Presets work
When Auto Presets = ON, the script picks sensible L/R/S (Left bars / Right bars / Smoothing) for Fib Trend 1 and Fib Trend 2 based on chart timeframe.
🔸Fib 1 (fast) emphasizes *micro-structure* for quicker bias shifts.
🔸Fib 2 (slow) emphasizes *macro-structure* for anchor/bias context.
These defaults keep Fib 1 responsive without jitter and Fib 2 stable without lag.
➡️ Turn Auto Presets = OFF to take full control with the manual inputs described below.
➖➖➖
🛠 Manual Fib Midpoint Settings (when Auto = OFF)
💡Each midpoint uses three knobs:
🔸Pivot Left (L): bars to the left that must be lower/higher to qualify a swing
🔸Pivot Right (R): bars to the right that must be lower/higher to confirm the swing
🔸Smoothing (S): SMA period applied to the raw 50% midpoint (stabilizes noise)
5-Minute optimized defaults
🔸Fib Trend 1: `L21 / R5 / S55` → responsive local structure (entries/exits, re-balancing zones)
🔸Fib Trend 2: `L55 / R13 / S89` → broader structure (trend context, anchors/stops)
Timeframe guidance
🔸1m–3m: may feel a touch laggy → consider ~`L13 / R3 / S34`
🔸15m–1h: defaults remain strong → optionally ~`L34 / R8 / S89`
🔸4h+ : increase span for stability → `L89–144 / R13–21 / S144–233`
➡️ Rule of thumb: shorter L/R = faster detection, longer S = smoother line. Tune until Fib 1 captures the “active swing” and Fib 2 captures the “dominant swing” without whipsaw.
➖➖➖
🎛 Inputs (quick reference)
🔸Fib Trend 1/2: Source (High/Low/Close), Left/Right bars, Smoothing length, Show/Hide, Cloud fill toggle
🔸Rolling 50%: Lookback length, Price basis (Wicks/Close/HLC3/OHLC4), Plot scope (Full / Last N / None)
🔸ATR Bands: ATR length, Multipliers (L1/L2), Plot scope, Line width/colors
🔸Overlay & Labels: Candle overlay mode, Label padding/size, 50% centerline toggle, Plot widths
➖➖➖
🖍️ Candle Coloring & Overlay Modes
💡Purpose: make trend instantly visible on the candles and ATR levels.
1) Color Logic (dropdown)
🔸 Fib Midpoints — Colors by position of price vs. Fib 1 & Fib 2
🔸ATR Zones — Colors by which ATR zone price is in relative to the Rolling 50%
➡️ Price Reference: Choose the input used for the decision (Close, HL2, OHLC3, OHLC4).
➡️Tip: Close is crisp; HL2/OHLC variants are smoother.
2) Overlay Style (dropdown)
🔸 None — No visual change to candles
🔸 Bar Color — Uses `barcolor()` to tint built-in candles (this takes into account your Trading View settings, for instance if you have wicks set to white, they will show up as white with this setting)
🔸 PlotCandles — Draws unified custom candles (body, wick, border) with the same color for maximum clarity
💡Practical use
🔸 Pick Fib Midpoints to read structural bias at a glance (above/below/between the cloud).
🔸 Pick ATR Zones to read value vs. stretch around the Rolling 50% (mean-reversion vs. trend extension).
➖➖➖
📘 How to use
A) Trend confirmation
- Strong bullish bias when price holds above both structural mids; strong bearish when below both.
- Use the Rolling 50% + ATR as a dynamic re-entry zone: pullbacks that respect ATR(L1) often continue the prevailing trend.
B) Transition / mean reversion
- Inside the Cloud (between Fib1 & Fib2) treat behavior as neutralization/re-balancing; range tactics tend to outperform momentum plays.
- In ranges, fades near ±ATR around the rolling 50% can mark short-term edges.
C) Breakout context
- When price leaves the Cloud, the Rolling 50% keeps you anchored so price never feels “floating.” A clean hold outside ATR(L1/L2) suggests regime strength; quick re-entries hint at traps.
➖➖➖
🖼 Chart examples
➡️ Each snapshot shows how the Cloud (structure) and the Rolling 50% + ATR (flow) work together.
1) 1-Minute Downtrend – Cloud as Dynamic Ceiling
- The Cloud slopes down; pullbacks repeatedly fail under the Cloud’s underside.
- Rolling 50% (dashed mid) + ATR(L1) act as a reversion band: rallies stall near upper ATR and rotate lower.
2) 15-Minute Persistent Drift – Structure Guides, Flow Times Entries
- Long drift lower with Cloud overhead.
- Consolidations near the rolling mid resolve in the trend direction; ATR bands frame risk on each attempt.
3) 15-Minute Uptrend (BTC) – From Cloud Escape to Value Stair-Step
- After escaping the prior Cloud, rolling 50% + ATR establish a new higher value area.
- Pullbacks into ATR(L1) produce orderly stair-steps; Cloud remains supportive on deeper dips
4) 5-Minute BTC – Pullback to Value then Rotate
- Strong leg up; retrace tags lower ATR band and rotates back toward the rolling mid.
- Labels (Fib1/Fib2) make the structural context explicit for decision-making.
➖➖➖
🧪 Starter presets
- Intraday (5–15m): Fib1 ~ L21/R5 (smooth 5), Fib2 ~ L55/R13 (smooth 9) • Rolling = 55 • ATR = 14 • L1 = 2.5x, L2 = 5.0x
- Scalping: Shorten lookbacks & smoothing; keep ATR multipliers similar, or tighten L1.
- Swing: Lengthen all lookbacks; consider ATR length 21–28.
➖➖➖
🏁Final Word
This script is not just a visual tool, it’s a complete trend and structure framework. Whether you're looking for clean trend alignment, dynamic support/resistance, or early warning signs of a reversal, this system is tuned to help you react with confidence — not hindsight.
Rembember, no single indicator should be used in isolation. For best results, combine it with price action analysis, higher-timeframe context, and complementary tools like trendlines, moving averages etc Use it as part of a well-rounded trading approach to confirm setups — not to define them alone.

💡Turn logic into clarity. Structure into trades. And uncertainty into confidence.
Order Block TraderThe Order Block (HTF) indicator automatically detects and plots higher timeframe order blocks directly onto your chart. Order blocks represent zones of institutional buying or selling pressure that often act as powerful support or resistance levels when revisited. This tool is designed for traders who want to align their lower timeframe entries with higher timeframe structure, helping to filter noise and focus on the most meaningful price levels.
What This Indicator Does
Scans a higher timeframe of your choice to identify potential bullish and bearish order blocks.
Draws the blocks on your current chart, extending them forward in time as reference zones.
Highlights trade signals when price returns to and reacts at these order blocks.
Optionally triggers alerts so that you never miss a potential opportunity.
How It Can Be Used Successfully
Bullish Setup: A bullish order block may serve as a demand zone. When price revisits it, look for bullish confirmation such as a bounce from the block low and a close back above it. This can be used as a long entry point, with stops placed just below the block.
Bearish Setup: A bearish order block may serve as a supply zone. When price revisits it, watch for rejection at the block high followed by a close back below it. This can be used as a short entry point, with stops placed just above the block.
Multi-Timeframe Trading: Use order blocks from larger timeframes (e.g., 4H or Daily) as key zones, then drill down to shorter timeframes (e.g., 5m, 15m) to refine entries.
Confluence with Other Tools: Combine order block signals with your existing strategy—trend indicators, Fibonacci levels, moving averages, or candlestick patterns—for stronger confirmation and improved win probability.
Trade Management: Treat order blocks as zones rather than single price levels. Position sizing, stop placement, and risk-to-reward management remain essential for long-term success.
This indicator is not a standalone trading system but a framework for identifying high-probability supply and demand zones. Traders who apply it consistently—alongside proper risk management and confirmation methods—can improve their ability to catch trend continuations and reversals at structurally important levels.
TNP/BB Trend IndicatorThis indicator identifies trend shifts on the 1H timeframe by combining trigger candle patterns with daily support/resistance zones. It helps traders align lower-timeframe entries with higher-timeframe context.
🔹 Core Logic
Daily Zones
Uses the daily chart to mark bullish zones (support) and bearish zones (resistance).
A valid trend signal only occurs when price action aligns with these zones.
Trigger Candles (1H)
TNP (Triple Negative/Positive Price): A structured 3-bar pattern indicating strong directional intent.
BB (Big Body Candle): A wide-range candle with significant body size compared to recent volatility, signaling momentum.
Trend Confirmation
A Bullish Trend is signaled when a bullish trigger forms inside a daily bullish zone.
A Bearish Trend is signaled when a bearish trigger forms inside a daily bearish zone.
Signals are plotted with arrows on the chart, and the current trend state (Bullish / Bearish / Neutral) is displayed live.

🔍 What is RACZ?
RACZ stands for Reactive Analytical Confluence Zones.
It’s a high-precision trading tool built for traders who rely on multi-signal confirmation, momentum alignment, and market structure awareness.
Rather than relying on a single technical metric, RACZ dynamically combines RSI, VWAP-RSI, Divergence, ADX, and Volume Analytics to produce a composite signal score from 0 to 12 — the higher the score, the stronger the signal.
⸻
🧠 How It Works – Core Components
1. RSI Analysis
• Detects momentum shifts.
• Compares RSI value to overbought (default: 67) and oversold (default: 33) thresholds.
• Adds points to Bullish or Bearish score.
2. VWAP-RSI
• Uses RSI based on VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price).
• Adds weight to signals influenced by volume-adjusted price movement.
3. Divergence Detection
• Detects potential reversal zones.
• Bullish Divergence: RSI crosses up from low zone.
• Bearish Divergence: RSI crosses down from high zone.
• Strong confluence signal when present.
4. ADX Dynamic Strength Filter
• Custom-calculated ADX (trend strength indicator).
• Uses a dynamic threshold derived from SMA of ADX over a lookback period, scaled by a factor (default 0.9).
• Ensures signals are only validated in strong trend environments.
5. Volume Z-Score
• Detects anomalies in volume behavior.
• Z-score applied to 20-period volume average & deviation.
• Labels spikes, drops, high/low volume conditions.
⸻
📊 Signal Scoring Logic
Each component (RSI, VWAP-RSI, Divergence, ADX) can score up to 3 points each.
• Bullish Score: Total from bullish alignment of each factor.
• Bearish Score: Total from bearish alignment of each factor.
• Signal Power = max(bullish, bearish)
📈 Signal Interpretation
• BUY: Bullish Score > Bearish Score
• SELL: Bearish Score > Bullish Score
• NEUTRAL: Scores are equal
• Signal power is plotted on a 0–12 histogram:
• 0–5 = Weak
• 6–8 = Medium
• 9–12 = Strong (High Confluence Zone)

Each box dynamically expands in real time: as new candles form during the session, the box’s top and bottom edges update to match the highest high and lowest low seen so far in that session.
When the session ends, the box remains on your chart, anchored to the exact candles that formed its boundaries.
High/Low Rays
As soon as a session closes (e.g., London session ends at 17:00 UTC+0 by default), two horizontal rays are drawn at that session’s final high and low.
These rays are “pinned” to the exact candles where the high/low occurred, so they stay in place when you scroll or zoom.
Each ray extends indefinitely to the right, providing a clear reference of the key supply/demand levels created during that session.
Session Labels
Optionally places a small “London,” “New York,” or “Asia” label at the top edge of each completed session’s box.
Labels are horizontally centered within the session’s box and use a contrasting, easy-to-read font color.
Customizable Appearance
Show/Hide Each Session: Toggle display of London, New York, and Asia sessions separately.
Time Ranges: By default, London is 08:00–17:00 (UTC), New York is 13:00–22:00 (UTC), and Asia is 00:00–07:00 (UTC). You can override each session’s start/end times using the “Time Range” picker.
Color & Opacity: Assign custom colors to each session. Choose a global “Dark,” “Medium,” or “Light” opacity preset to adjust box fill transparency and border shading.
Show/Hide Labels & Outlines: Turn the text labels and the box borders on or off independently.
UTC Offset Support
If your local broker feed or price data is not in UTC, simply adjust the “UTC Offset (+/–)” input. The indicator will recalculate session start/end times relative to your chosen offset.
How to Use:
Add the Indicator:
Open TradingView’s Pine Editor, paste in this script, and click “Add to Chart.”
By default, you’ll see three translucent boxes appear once each session begins (Asia, London, New York).
Watch in Real Time:
As soon as a session starts, its box will appear anchored to the first candle. The top and bottom of the box expand if new extremes occur.
When the session closes, the final box remains visible and two horizontal rays mark that session’s high and low.
Analyze Key Levels:
Use the high- and low-level rays to gauge session liquidity zones—areas where stop orders, breakouts, or reversals often occur.
For example, if London’s high is significantly above current price, it may act as resistance in the New York session.
Customize to Your Needs:
Toggle specific sessions on/off (e.g., if you only care about London and New York).
Change each session’s color to match your chart theme.
Adjust the “UTC Offset” so sessions align with your local time.
Disable labels or box borders if you prefer a cleaner look.
Inputs Overview:
Show London/New York/Asia Session (bool): Show or hide each session’s box and its high/low rays.
Time Range (session): Defines the start/end of each session in “HHMM–HHMM” (24h) format.
Colour (color): Custom color for each session’s box fill, border, and high/low rays.
Show Session Labels (bool): Toggle the “London,” “New York,” “Asia” text that appears at the top of each completed box.
Show Range Outline (bool): Toggle the box border (if off, only a translucent fill is drawn).
Opacity Preset (Dark/Medium/Light): Controls transparency of box fill and border.
UTC Offset (+/–) (int): Adjusts session times for different time zones (e.g., +1 for UTC+1).
Why It’s Useful:
Quickly Identify Session Activity: Visually distinguish when each major trading session is active, then compare price action across sessions.
Pinpoint High/Low Liquidity Levels: Drawn rays highlight where the market hit its extremes—critical zones for stop orders or breakout entries.
Multi-Timeframe Context: By seeing historical session boxes and rays, you can locate recurring supply/demand areas, overlap zones, or session re-tests.
Fully Automated Workflow: Once added to your chart, the script does all the work of tracking session boundaries and drawing high/low lines—no manual box or line drawing necessary.
Example Use Cases:
London Breakout Traders: See where London’s high/low formed, then wait for price to revisit those levels during the New York session.
Range Breakout Strategies: If price consolidates inside the London box, use the boxed extremes as immediate targets for breakout entries.
Intraday Liquidity Swings: During quieter hours, watch Asia’s high/low to identify potential support/resistance before London’s opening.
Overlap Zones: Compare London’s range with Asia’s range to find areas of confluence—high-probability reversal or continuation zones.
S&P 500 & Normalized CAPE Z-Score AnalyzerThis macro-focused indicator visualizes the historical valuation of the U.S. equity market using the CAPE ratio (Shiller P/E), normalized over its long-term average and standard deviations. It helps traders and investors identify overvaluation and undervaluation zones over time, combining both statistical signals and historical context.
💡 Why It’s Useful
This indicator is ideal for macro traders and long-term investors looking to contextualize equity valuations across decades. It helps identify statistical extremes in valuation by referencing the standard deviation of the CAPE ratio relative to its long-term mean. The overlay of S&P 500 price with valuation zones provides a visual confirmation tool for macro decisions or timing insights.
It includes:
✅ Three display modes:
-S&P 500 (color-coded by CAPE valuation zone)
-Normalized CAPE (vs. long-term mean)
-CAPE Z-Score (standardized measure)
🎯 How to Interpret
Dynamic coloring of the S&P 500 price based on CAPE valuation:
🔴 Z > +2σ → Highly Overvalued

RSI+Stoch Band Oscillator📈 RSI + Stochastic Band Oscillator
Overview:
The RSI + Stochastic Band Oscillator is a technical indicator that combines the strengths of both the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Stochastic Oscillator. Instead of using static thresholds, this indicator dynamically constructs upper and lower bands based on the RSI and Stochastic overbought/oversold zones. It then measures the relative position of the current price within this adaptive range, effectively producing a normalized oscillator.
Key Components:
RSI-Based Dynamic Bands:
Using RSI values and exponential moving averages of price changes, upper and lower dynamic bands are constructed.
These bands adjust based on overbought and oversold levels, offering a more responsive framework than fixed RSI thresholds.
Stochastic-Based Dynamic Bands:
Similarly, Stochastic %K and %D values are used to construct dynamic bands.
These adapt to overbought and oversold levels by recalculating potential high/low values within the lookback window.
Oscillator Calculation:
The oscillator (osc) is computed as the relative position of the current close within the combined upper and lower bands of both RSI and Stochastic.
This value is normalized between 0 and 100, allowing clear identification of extreme conditions.
Visual Features:
The oscillator is plotted as a line between 0 and 100.
Color-filled areas highlight when the oscillator enters extreme zones:
Above 100 with falling momentum: Red zone (potential reversal).
Below 0 with rising momentum: Green zone (potential reversal).
Additional trend conditions (falling/rising RSI, %K, and %D) are used to strengthen reversal signals by confirming momentum shifts.
cd_full_poi_CxOverview
This indicator tracks the price in 16 different time frames (optional) in order to answer the question of where the current price has reacted or will react.
It appears on the chart and in the report table when the price approaches or touches the fvg or mitigations (order block / supply-demand), the rules of which will be explained below.
In summary, it follows the fvg and mitigations in the higher timeframe than the lower timeframe.
Many traders see fvg or mitigates as an point of interest and see the high, low swept in those zones as a trading opportunity. Key levels, Session high/lows and Equal high and lows also point of interest.
If we summarise the description of the point of interest ;
1- Fair value gaps (FVG) (16 time frames)
2- Mitigation zones (16 time frames)
3- Previous week, day, H4, H1 high and low levels
4- Sessions zones (Asia, London and New York)
5- Equal high and low levels are in indicator display.
Details:
1- Fair Value Gaps : It is simply described as a price gap and consists of a series of 3 candles. The reaction of the price to the gap between the 1st and 3rd candle wicks is observed.
The indicator offers 3 options for marking. These are :
1-1- ‘Colours are unimportant’: candle colours are not considered for marking. Fvg formation is sufficient.(Classical)
1-2- ‘First candle opposite colour’ : when a price gap occurs, the first candle of a series of 3 candles must be opposite.
For bullish fvg : bearish - bullish - free
For Bearish fvg : bullish - bearish - free
1-3- ‘All same colour’ : all candles in a series of 3 candles must be the same direction.
For bullish fvg: bullish - bullish - bullish
For bearish fvg : bearish - bearish – bearish
Examples:
2- Mitigation zones: Opposite candles with a fvg in front of them or candles higher/lower than the previous and next candle and with the same colour as the fvg series are marked.
Examples :
3- Previous week, day, H4, H1 high and low levels
4- Sessions regions (Asia, London and New York)
5- Equal high and low levels:
Annotation: Many traders want to see a liquidity grab on the poi, then try to enter the trade with the appropriate method.
Among the indicators, there is also the indication of grabs/swepts that occur at swing points. It is also indicated when the area previously marked as equal high/low is violated (grab).
At the end, sample setups will be shown to give an idea about the use of the indicator.
Settings:
- The options to be displayed from the menu are selected by ticking.
- 1m, 2m, 3m, 5m, 5m, 10m, 15m, 30m, h1, h4, h4, h6, h8, h12, daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly, 16 time zones in total can be displayed.
- The ‘Collapse when the price touches mitigate’ tab controls whether to collapse the box as the price moves into the inner region of the mitigate. If not selected, the size of the mitigate does not change.
- ‘Approach limit =(ATR / n)’ tab controls how close the price is to the fvg or mitigate. Instant ATR(10) value is calculated by dividing by the entered ‘n’ value.
- All boxes and lines are automatically removed from the screen when the beyond is closed.
- Colour selections, table, text features are controlled from the menu.
- Sessions hours are set as standard hours, the user can select special time zones. Timezone is set to GMT-4.
- On the candle when the price touches fvg or mitigate, the timeframe information of the POI is shown in the report table together with the graphical representation.
The benefits and differences :
1- We can evaluate the factors we use for setup together.
2- We are aware of what awaits us in the high time frame in the following candles.
3- It offers the user the opportunity to be selective with different candle selection options in fvg selection.
4- Mitige areas are actually unmitige areas because they have a price gap in front of them. The market likes to retest these areas.
5- Equal high/low zones are the levels that the price creates to accumulate liquidity or fails to go beyond (especially during high volume hours). Failure or crossing of the level may give a reversal or continuation prediction.

RSI Support & Resistance Breakouts with OrderblocksThis tool is an overly simplified method of finding market squeeze and breakout completely based on a dynamic RSI calculation. It is designed to draw out areas of price levels where the market is pushing back against price action leaving behind instances of short term support and resistance levels you otherwise wouldn't see with the common RSI.
It uses the changes in market momentum to determine support and resistance levels in real time while offering price zone where order blocks exist in the short term.
In ranging markets we need to know a couple things.
1. External Zone - It's important to know where the highs and lows were left behind as they hold liquidity. Here you will have later price swings and more false breakouts.
2. Internal Zone - It's important to know where the highest and lowest closing values were so we can see the limitations of that squeeze. Here you will find the stronger cluster of orders often seen as orderblocks.
In this tool I've added a 200 period Smoothed Moving Average as a trend filter which causes the RSI calculation to change dynamically.
Regular Zones - without extending
The Zones draw out automatically but are often too small to work with.
To solve this problem, you can extend the zones into the future up to 40 bars.
This allows for more visibility against future price action.
--------------------------------------------
Two Types of Zones
External Zones - These zones give you positioning of the highest and lowest price traded within the ranging market. This is where liquidity will be swept and often is an ultimate breaking point for new price swings.
How to use them :
External Zones - External zones form at the top of a pullback. After this price should move back into its impulsive wave.
During the next corrective way, if price breaches the top of the previous External Zone, this is a sign of trend weakness. Expect a divergence and trend reversal.
Internal Zones - (OrderBlocks) Current price will move in relation to previous internal zones. The internal zone is where a majority of price action and trading took place. It's a stronger SQUEEZE area. Current price action will often have a hard time closing beyond the previous Internal Zones high or low. You can expect these zones to show you where the market will flip over. In these same internal zones you'll find large rejection candles.
**Important Note** Size Doesn't Matter
The size of the internal zone does not matter. It can be very small and still very powerful.
Once an internal zone has been hit a few times, its often not relevant any longer.
Order Block Zone Examples
In this image you can see the Internal Zone that was untouched had a STRONG price reaction later on.
Internal Zones that were touched multiple times had weak reactions later as price respected them less over time.
Zone Overlay Breakdown
The Zones form and update in real time until momentum has picked up and price begins to trend. However it leaves behind the elements of the inducement area and all the key levels you need to know about for future price action.
Resistance Fakeout : Later on after the zone has formed, price will return to this upper zone of price levels and cause fakeouts. A close above this zone implies the market moves long again.
Midline Equilibrium : This is simply the center of the strongest traded area. We can call this the Point of Control within the orderblock. If price expands through both extremes of this zone multiple times in the future, it eliminates the orderblock.
Support Fakeout : Just like its opposing brother, price will wick through this zone and rip back causing inducement to trap traders. You would need a clear close below this zone to be in a bearish trend.
BARCOLOR or Candle Color: (Optional)
Bars are colored under three conditions
Bullish Color = A confirmed bullish breakout of the range.
Bearish Color = A confirmed bearish breakout of the range.
Squeeze Color = Even if no box is formed a candle or candles can have a squeeze color. This means the ranging market happened within the high and low of that singular candle.
[TehThomas] - ICT Inversion Fair value Gap (IFVG) The Inversion Fair Value Gap (IFVG) indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders who utilize ICT (Inner Circle Trader) strategies. It focuses on identifying and displaying Inversion Fair Value Gaps, which are critical zones that emerge when traditional Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are invalidated by price action. These gaps represent key areas where price often reacts, making them essential for identifying potential reversals, trend continuations, and liquidity zones.
What Are Inversion Fair Value Gaps?
Inversion Fair Value Gaps occur when price revisits a traditional FVG and breaks through it, effectively flipping its role in the market. For example:
A bullish FVG that is invalidated becomes a bearish zone, often acting as resistance.
A bearish FVG that is invalidated transforms into a bullish zone, serving as support.
These gaps are significant because they often align with institutional trading activity. They highlight areas where large orders have been executed or where liquidity has been targeted. Understanding these gaps provides traders with a deeper insight into market structure and helps them anticipate future price movements with greater accuracy.
Why This Strategy Works
The IFVG concept is rooted in ICT principles, which emphasize liquidity dynamics, market inefficiencies, and institutional order flow. Traditional FVGs represent imbalances in price action caused by gaps between candles. When these gaps are invalidated, they become inversion zones that can act as magnets for price. These zones frequently serve as high-probability areas for price reversals or trend continuations.
This strategy works because it aligns with how institutional traders operate. Inversion gaps often mark areas of interest for "smart money," making them reliable indicators of potential market turning points. By focusing on these zones, traders can align their strategies with institutional behavior and improve their overall trading edge.
How the Indicator Works
This indicator simplifies the process of identifying and tracking IFVGs by automating their detection and visualization on the chart. It scans the chart in real-time to identify bullish and bearish FVGs that meet user-defined thresholds for inversion. Once identified, these gaps are dynamically displayed on the chart with distinct colors for bullish and bearish zones.
The indicator also tracks whether these gaps are mitigated or broken by price action. When an IFVG is broken, it extends the zone for a user-defined number of bars to visualize its potential role as a new support or resistance level. Additionally, alerts can be enabled to notify traders when new IFVGs form or when existing ones are broken, ensuring timely decision-making in fast-moving markets.
Key Features
Automatic Detection: The indicator automatically identifies bullish and bearish IFVGs based on user-defined thresholds.
Dynamic Visualization: It displays IFVGs directly on the chart with customizable colors for easy differentiation.
Real-Time Updates: The status of each IFVG is updated dynamically based on price action.
Zone Extensions: Broken IFVGs are extended to visualize their potential as support or resistance levels.
Alerts: Notifications can be set up to alert traders when key events occur, such as the formation or breaking of an IFVG.
These features make the tool highly efficient and reduce the need for manual analysis, allowing traders to focus on execution rather than tedious chart work.
Benefits of Using This Indicator
The IFVG indicator offers several advantages that make it an indispensable tool for ICT traders. By automating the detection of inversion gaps, it saves time and reduces errors in analysis. The clearly defined zones improve risk management by providing precise entry points, stop-loss levels, and profit targets based on market structure.
This tool is also highly versatile and adapts seamlessly across different timeframes. Whether you’re scalping lower timeframes or swing trading higher ones, it provides actionable insights tailored to your trading style. Furthermore, by aligning your strategy with institutional logic, you gain a significant edge in anticipating market movements.
Practical Applications
This indicator can be used across various trading styles:
Scalping: Identify quick reversal points on lower timeframes using real-time alerts.
Day Trading: Use inversion gaps as key levels for intraday support/resistance or trend continuation setups.
Swing Trading: Analyse higher timeframes to identify major inversion zones that could act as critical turning points in larger trends.
By integrating this tool into your trading routine, you can streamline your analysis process and focus on executing high-probability setups.
Conclusion
The Inversion Fair Value Gap (IFVG) indicator is more than just a technical analysis tool—it’s a strategic ally for traders looking to refine their edge in the markets. By automating the detection and tracking of inversion gaps based on ICT principles, it simplifies complex market analysis while maintaining accuracy and depth. Whether you’re new to ICT strategies or an experienced trader seeking greater precision, this indicator will elevate your trading game by aligning your approach with institutional behavior.
If you’re serious about improving your trading results while saving time and effort, this tool is an essential addition to your toolkit. It provides clarity in chaotic markets, enhances precision in trade execution, and ensures you never miss critical opportunities in your trading journey.

Pulse of Cycle Oscillator"Pulse of Cycle" Oscillator: Logic and Usage
What Is It and How Does It Work?
The "Pulse of Cycle" is an oscillator that measures the cycles of price rises and falls, helping you spot overbought and oversold conditions. Unlike classic indicators, it doesn’t focus on how much the price moves but tracks its direction (up or down) like a "pulse." Here’s the logic:
Price Movement:
If the price rises compared to the previous bar, it adds +1.
If the price falls, it subtracts -1.
If the price stays the same, it adds 0.
Decay Factor: Each step, the previous value is multiplied by a factor (e.g., 0.9) to shrink it slightly. This keeps the oscillator from growing too big and focuses it on recent price action.
Signals: The oscillator moves around zero. When it crosses certain levels (e.g., 5 and 10), it warns you about overbought or oversold zones:
Weak Signal: Above ±5, the market might be stretching a bit.
Strong Signal: Above ±10, a reversal is more likely.
In short, it tracks the "rhythm" of price streaks (consecutive ups or downs) and signals when things might be getting extreme.
How It Looks on the Chart
Line: The oscillator moves around a zero line.
Colors:
Blue: Normal zone (between -5 and +5).
Orange: Weak overbought (+5 and up) or oversold (-5 and down).
Red: Strong overbought (+10 and up).
Lime: Strong oversold (-10 and down).
Threshold Lines: You’ll see lines at 0, ±5, and ±10 on the chart to show where you are.
How to Use It?
Here’s how to trade with this oscillator:
Buy Opportunity (Long Position):
When?: The oscillator drops below -5 (weak) or -10 (strong), then starts moving back toward zero. This suggests the price has hit a bottom and might rise.
Example: It falls to -12 (lime), then rises to -8. You could buy, expecting a bounce.
Tip: Wait for a green candle to confirm if you want to be safer.
Sell Opportunity (Short Position):
When?: The oscillator rises above +5 (weak) or +10 (strong), then starts dropping back toward zero. This indicates the price might have peaked and could fall.
Example: It hits +11 (red), then drops to +7. You could sell, expecting a decline.
Tip: Look for a red candle to confirm the turn.
Neutral Zone: If it’s between -5 and +5, the market is balanced. You can wait for a clearer signal.
Practical Steps to Use
Add to TradingView:
Paste the code into Pine Editor and click “Add to Chart.”
Adjust Settings (Optional):
Decay (0.9): Lower to 0.7 for faster response, raise to 0.95 for smoother movement.
Thresholds (5 and 10): Change them (e.g., 4 and 8) based on your market.
Watch Signals:
Follow the color changes and threshold crossings.
Set Alerts:
Right-click the oscillator > “Add Alert” to get notified on overbought/oversold signals.
Things to Watch Out For
Confirmation: Pair it with support/resistance levels or candlestick patterns for stronger signals.
Market Type: Works best in range-bound (sideways) markets. In strong trends (all up or down), signals might mislead.
Risk: Always use a stop loss—below the last low for buys, above the last high for sells.
Summary
The "Pulse of Cycle" is a simple yet powerful tool that tracks price movement streaks. Use it to catch reversals at strong signals (-10/+10) or get early warnings at weak signals (±5). The colors and lines on the chart make it easy to see when to act.
Hanzo_Wave_Price %Hanzo_Wave_Price % is a custom indicator for the TradingView platform that combines RSI (Relative Strength Index) and Stochastic RSI while also displaying the percentage price change over a specified period. This indicator helps traders identify overbought and oversold conditions, analyze price waves, and forecast potential market movements.
How It Works
1. RSI and Stochastic RSI Calculation
RSI is calculated based on the selected price source (default: close) with a user-defined Main Line period.
Stochastic RSI is then applied and smoothed using a moving average.
The Main Line represents the smoothed Stochastic RSI, serving as a wave indicator to help identify potential entry and exit points.
2. Overbought and Oversold Zones
The 70 and 30 levels indicate overbought and oversold zones, displayed as dashed lines on the chart.
Additional 20% and 10% levels provide a visual reference for historical price changes, aiding in future predictions.
3. Percentage Price Change Calculation
The indicator calculates the percentage price change over a Barsback period (default: 30 candles).
Users can choose a multiplier (100 or 1000) for better visualization (1000 scales the values by dividing by 10).
The data is displayed as a colored area:
Red (Short) → Negative price change.
Green (Buy) → Positive price change.
Settings & Parameters
Multiplier 💪 – Selects the scaling factor (100 or 1000) for percentage values.
Main Line ✈️ – Stochastic smoothing period (smoothK).
Don't touch ✋ – Reserved value (do not modify).
RSI 🔴 – RSI calculation period.
Stochastic 🔵 – Stochastic RSI calculation period.
Source ⚠️ – Price source for calculations (default: close).
Price changes % 🔼🔽 – Enables percentage price change display.
Barsback ↩️ – Number of candles used to calculate price change.
Visual Representation

⚠ IMPORTANT!
This indicator is for informational and educational purposes only. Past performance does not guarantee future profits! Use it in combination with other technical analysis tools. 🚀
Example 1: Identifying a Long Position
📌 Scenario:
The asset price has dropped significantly (1-hour timeframe), and the Main Line (gray line) crosses below the 30 level. This signals oversold conditions, which may indicate a potential reversal or upward correction.
✅ How to Use:
1️⃣ Identifying the Entry Zone:
If the Main Line is below 30, consider looking for a long entry point.
2️⃣ Confirming the Signal:
Place a vertical line at the moment when the Main Line crosses the 30 level from below.
3️⃣ Confirmation on a Lower Timeframe:
Switch to a 30-minute timeframe and wait for the Main Line to cross above the 70 level.
Enter a long position at this point.
4️⃣ Analyzing Percentage Price Change:
Check the historical indicator behavior:
If a similar past movement resulted in a ~10% price increase (green fill), this may indicate potential upward momentum.
5️⃣ Setting Take-Profit:
Set a take-profit level at 10%, based on previous price movements.
Also, monitor when the Main Line crosses the 70 level, as this may signal a potential profit-taking point.
📊 Conclusion:
This method helps to precisely determine entry points by confirming signals across multiple timeframes and analyzing the historical volatility of the asset. 🚀
Example 2: Analyzing Percentage Price Change
📌 Scenario:
You have set the Barsback parameter to 30, and the indicator shows +3.5%. This means that over the last 30 candles, the price has increased by 3.5%.
However, such small changes might be visually difficult to notice. To improve visibility, you can enable the multiplier (1000), which will scale the displayed percentage change to 35%. This is purely for visual convenience—the actual price movement remains 3.5%.
✅ How to Use:
1️⃣ Identifying Trend Direction:
If the percentage change is positive (green area) → Uptrend.
If the percentage change is negative (red area) → Downtrend.
2️⃣ Analyzing Movement Strength:
Compare the current percentage change with previous waves to evaluate the strength of the movement.
For example:
If previous waves reached 10% or more, a current wave of 3.5% might indicate a weak trend or a local correction.
3️⃣ Additional Filtering with the Main Line (Gray Line):
Use the Main Line to confirm the trend.
If the percentage change shows an increase, but the Main Line is still below 30, further upward movement can be expected.
If the percentage change indicates a decline, but the Main Line is above 70, there is a higher probability of a downward reversal.
