Market SessionsMarket Sessions (Asian, London, NY, Pacific)
Summary
This indicator plots the main global market sessions (Asian, European, American, Pacific) as boxes on your chart, complete with dynamic high/low tracking.
It's an essential tool for intraday traders to track session-based volatility patterns and visualize key support/resistance levels (like the Asian Range) that often define price action for the rest of the day.
Who it’s for
Intraday traders, scalpers, and day traders who need to visualize market hours and session-based ranges. If your strategy depends on the London open, the New York close, or the Asian range, this script will map it out for you.
What it shows
Customizable Session Boxes: Four fully configurable boxes for the Asian, European (London), American (New York), and Pacific (Sydney) sessions.
Session High & Low: The script tracks and boxes the highest high and lowest low of each session, dynamically updating as the session progresses.
Session Labels: Clear labels (e.g., "AS", "EU") mark each session, anchored to the start time.
Key Features
Powerful Timezone Control: This is the core feature.
Use Exchange Timezone (Default): Simply enter session times (e.g., 8:00 for London) relative to the exchange's timezone (e.g., "NASDAQ" or "BINANCE").
Use UTC Offset: Uncheck the box and enter a UTC offset (e.g., +3 or -5). Now, all session times you enter are relative to that specific UTC offset. This gives you full control regardless of the chart you're on.
Fully Customizable: Toggle any session on/off.
Style Control: Change the fill color, border color, transparency, border width, and line style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted) for each session individually.
Smart Labels: Labels stay anchored to the start of the session (no "sliding") and float just above the session high.
Why this helps
Track Volatility & Market Behavior: Visually identify the "personality" of each session. Some sessions might consistently produce powerful pumps or dumps, while others are prone to sideways "chop" or accumulation. This indicator helps you see these repeating patterns.
Find Key Support/Resistance Levels: The High and Low of a session (e.g., the Asian Range) often become critical support and resistance levels for the next session (e.g., London). This script makes it easy to spot these "session-to-session" S/R flips and reactions.
Aid Statistical Analysis: The script provides the core visual data for your statistical research. You can easily track how often the London session breaks the Asian high, or which session is most likely to reverse the trend, helping you build a robust trading plan.
Context is King: Instantly see which market is active, which are overlapping (like the high-volume London-NY overlap), and which have closed.
Quick setup
Go to Timezone Settings.
Decide how you want to enter times:
Easy (Default): Leave Use Exchange Timezone checked. Enter session times based on the chart's native exchange (e.g., for BTC/USDT on Binance, use UTC+0 times).
Manual (Pro): Uncheck Use Exchange Timezone. Enter your UTC Offset (e.g., +2 for Berlin). Now, enter all session times as they appear on the clock in Berlin.
Go to each session tab (Asian, European...) to enable/disable it and set the correct start/end hours and minutes.
Style the colors to match your chart theme.

Statistics
NFCI National Financial Conditions IndexChicago Fed National Financial Conditions Index (NFCI)
This indicator plots the Chicago Fed’s National Financial Conditions Index (NFCI).
The NFCI updates weekly, and its latest value is displayed across all chart intervals.
The NFCI measures how tight or loose overall U.S. financial conditions are. It combines over 100 weekly indicators from the money, bond, and equity markets—along with credit and leverage data—into a single composite index.
The NFCI has three key subcomponents, each of which can be independently selected within the indicator:
Risk: Captures volatility, credit spreads, and overall market stress.
Credit: Tracks how easy or difficult it is to borrow across households and businesses.
Leverage: Reflects the level of debt and balance-sheet strength in the financial system.
When the NFCI rises, financial conditions are tightening — liquidity is contracting, borrowing costs are climbing, and investors tend to reduce risk.
When the NFCI falls, conditions are loosening — liquidity expands, credit flows more freely, and markets generally become more risk-seeking.
Traders often use the NFCI as a macro backdrop for risk appetite: rising values signal growing stress and defensive positioning, while falling values indicate improving liquidity and a more supportive market environment.
Rolling Correlation vs Another Symbol (SPY Default)This indicator visualizes the rolling correlation between the current chart symbol and another selected asset, helping traders understand how closely the two move together over time.
It calculates the Pearson correlation coefficient over a user-defined period (default 22 bars) and plots it as a color-coded line:
• Green line → positive correlation (move in the same direction)
• Red line → negative correlation (move in opposite directions)
• A gray dashed line marks the zero level (no correlation).
The background highlights periods of strong relationship:
• Light green when correlation > +0.7 (strong positive)
• Light red when correlation < –0.7 (strong negative)
Use this tool to quickly spot diversification opportunities, confirm hedges, or understand how assets interact during different market regimes.
Standardization (Z-score)Standardization, often referred to as Z-score normalization, is a data preprocessing technique that rescales data to have a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. The resulting values, known as Z-scores, indicate how many standard deviations an individual data point is from the mean of the dataset (or a rolling sample of it).
This indicator calculates and plots the Z-score for a given input series over a specified lookback period. It is a fundamental tool for statistical analysis, outlier detection, and preparing data for certain machine learning algorithms.
## Core Concepts
* **Standardization:** The process of transforming data to fit a standard normal distribution (or more generally, to have a mean of 0 and standard deviation of 1).
* **Z-score (Standard Score):** A dimensionless quantity that represents the number of standard deviations by which a data point deviates from the mean of its sample.
The formula for a Z-score is:
`Z = (x - μ) / σ`
Where:
* `x` is the individual data point (e.g., current value of the source series).
* `μ` (mu) is the mean of the sample (calculated over the lookback period).
* `σ` (sigma) is the standard deviation of the sample (calculated over the lookback period).
* **Mean (μ):** The average value of the data points in the sample.
* **Standard Deviation (σ):** A measure of the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of values. A low standard deviation indicates that the values tend to be close to the mean, while a high standard deviation indicates that the values are spread out over a wider range.
## Common Settings and Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Default | Function | When to Adjust |
| :-------------- | :----------- | :------ | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Source | series float | close | The input data series (e.g., price, volume, indicator values). | Choose the series you want to standardize. |
| Lookback Period | int | 20 | The number of bars (sample size) used for calculating the mean (μ) and standard deviation (σ). Min 2. | A larger period provides more stable estimates of μ and σ but will be less responsive to recent changes. A shorter period is more reactive. `minval` is 2 because `ta.stdev` requires it. |
**Pro Tip:** Z-scores are excellent for identifying anomalies or extreme values. For instance, applying Standardization to trading volume can help quickly spot days with unusually high or low activity relative to the recent norm (e.g., Z-score > 2 or < -2).
## Calculation and Mathematical Foundation
The Z-score is calculated for each bar as follows, using a rolling window defined by the `Lookback Period`:
1. **Calculate Mean (μ):** The simple moving average (`ta.sma`) of the `Source` data over the specified `Lookback Period` is calculated. This serves as the sample mean `μ`.
`μ = ta.sma(Source, Lookback Period)`
2. **Calculate Standard Deviation (σ):** The standard deviation (`ta.stdev`) of the `Source` data over the same `Lookback Period` is calculated. This serves as the sample standard deviation `σ`.
`σ = ta.stdev(Source, Lookback Period)`
3. **Calculate Z-score:**
* If `σ > 0`: The Z-score is calculated using the formula:
`Z = (Current Source Value - μ) / σ`
* If `σ = 0`: This implies all values in the lookback window are identical (and equal to the mean). In this case, the Z-score is defined as 0, as the current source value is also equal to the mean.
* If `σ` is `na` (e.g., insufficient data in the lookback period), the Z-score is `na`.
> 🔍 **Technical Note:**
> * The `Lookback Period` must be at least 2 for `ta.stdev` to compute a valid standard deviation.
> * The Z-score calculation uses the sample mean and sample standard deviation from the rolling lookback window.
## Interpreting the Z-score
* **Magnitude and Sign:**
* A Z-score of **0** means the data point is identical to the sample mean.
* A **positive Z-score** indicates the data point is above the sample mean. For example, Z = 1 means the point is 1 standard deviation above the mean.
* A **negative Z-score** indicates the data point is below the sample mean. For example, Z = -1 means the point is 1 standard deviation below the mean.
* **Typical Range:** For data that is approximately normally distributed (bell-shaped curve):
* About 68% of Z-scores fall between -1 and +1.
* About 95% of Z-scores fall between -2 and +2.
* About 99.7% of Z-scores fall between -3 and +3.
* **Outlier Detection:** Z-scores significantly outside the -2 to +2 range, and especially outside -3 to +3, are often considered outliers or extreme values relative to the recent historical data in the lookback window.
* **Volatility Indication:** When applied to price, large absolute Z-scores can indicate moments of high volatility or significant deviation from the recent price trend.
The indicator plots horizontal lines at ±1, ±2, and ±3 standard deviations to help visualize these common thresholds.
## Common Applications
1. **Outlier Detection:** Identifying data points that are unusual or extreme compared to the rest of the sample. This is a primary use in financial markets for spotting abnormal price moves, volume spikes, etc.
2. **Comparative Analysis:** Allows for comparison of scores from different distributions that might have different means and standard deviations. For example, comparing the Z-score of returns for two different assets.
3. **Feature Scaling in Machine Learning:** Standardizing features to have a mean of 0 and standard deviation of 1 is a common preprocessing step for many machine learning algorithms (e.g., SVMs, logistic regression, neural networks) to improve performance and convergence.
4. **Creating Normalized Oscillators:** The Z-score itself can be used as a bounded (though not strictly between -1 and +1) oscillator, indicating how far the current price has deviated from its moving average in terms of standard deviations.
5. **Statistical Process Control:** Used in quality control charts to monitor if a process is within expected statistical limits.
## Limitations and Considerations
* **Assumption of Normality for Probabilistic Interpretation:** While Z-scores can always be calculated, the probabilistic interpretations (e.g., "68% of data within ±1σ") strictly apply to normally distributed data. Financial data is often not perfectly normal (e.g., it can have fat tails).
* **Sensitivity of Mean and Standard Deviation to Outliers:** The sample mean (μ) and standard deviation (σ) used in the Z-score calculation can themselves be influenced by extreme outliers within the lookback period. This can sometimes mask or exaggerate the Z-score of other points.
* **Choice of Lookback Period:** The Z-score is highly dependent on the `Lookback Period`. A short period makes it very sensitive to recent fluctuations, while a long period makes it smoother and less responsive. The appropriate period depends on the analytical goal.
* **Stationarity:** For time series data, Z-scores are calculated based on a rolling window. This implicitly assumes some level of local stationarity (i.e., the mean and standard deviation are relatively stable within the window).
Multi-Session Viewer and AnalyzerFully customizable multi-session viewer that takes session analysis to the next level. It allows you to fully customize each session to your liking. Includes a feature that highlights certain periods of time on the chart and a Time Range Marker.
It helps you analyze the instrument that you trade and pinpoint which times are more volatile than others. It also helps you choose the best time to trade your instrument and align your life schedule with the market.
NZDUSD Example:
- 3 major sessions displayed.
- Although this is NZDUSD, Sydney is not the best time to trade this pair. Volatility picks up at Tokyo open.
- I have time to trade in the evening from 18:00 to 22:00 PST. I live in a different time zone, whereas market is based on EST. How does the pair behave during the time I am available to trade based on my time zone? Time Range Marker feature allows you to see this clearly on the chart (black lines).
- I have some time in the morning to trade during New York session, but there is no way I am waking up at 05:00 PST. 06:30 PST seems doable. Blue highlighted area is good time to trade during New York session based on what Bob said. It seem like this aligns with when I am available and when I am able to trade. Volatility is also at its peak.
- I am also available to trade between London close and Tokyo open on some days of the week, but... based on what I see, green highlighted area is clearly showing that I probably don't want to waste my time trading this pair from London close and until Tokyo open. I will use this time for something else rather than be stuck in a range.
LAST UPA FOR DA DAYWell been fing around most the day now, TBH this is showing results , Much respect to all along the journey , mess with the setting make them natural colors for you
Forex Dynamic Lot Size CalculatorForex Dynamic Lot Size Calculator for Forex. Works on USD Base and USD Quote pairs. Provides real-time data based on stop-loss location. Allows you to know in real-time how the number of lots you need to purchase to match your risk %.
Number of Lots is calculated based on total risk. Total risk is calculated based on Stop-Loss + Commission + Spread Fees + Slippage measured in pips. Also includes data such as break-even pips, net take profit, margin required, buying power used, and a few others. All are real-time and anchored to the current price.
The intention of creating this indicator is to help with risk management. You know exactly how many lots you need to get this very moment to have your total risk at lets say $250, which includes commission fees, spread fees, and slippage.
To put it simply, if I was to enter the trade right now and willing to risk exactly $250, how many lots will I need to get right this second?

- To use adjust Account Settings along with other variables.
- Stop Loss Mode can be Manual or Dynamic. If you select Dynamic, then you will have to adjust Stop Loss Level to where you can see the reference line on the screen. It is at 1.1 by default. Just enter current price and the line will appear. Adjust it by dragging it to where you want your stop loss to be.
- Take Profit Mode can also be Manual or Dynamic. I just keep my TP at Manual and use Quick Access to set Quick RR levels.
- Adjust Spreads and Slippage to your liking. I tried to have TV calculate current spread, but it seem like it doesn't have access to real-life data for me like MT5 does. I just use average instead. Both are optional, depending on your broker and type of account you use.
- Pip Value for the current pair, Return on Margin, and Break-even line can be turned on and off, based on your needs. I just get the Break-even value in pips from the pannel and use that as reference where I need to relocate my stop loss to break-ever (commission + spreds + slippage).
- Panel is fully customizable based on your liking. Important fields are highlighted along with reference lines.
Risk Leverage ToolRisk Leverage Tool – Calculate Position Size and Required Leverage
This script automatically calculates the optimal position size and the leverage needed based on the amount of capital you are willing to risk on a trade. It is designed for traders who want precise control over their risk management.
The script determines the distance between the entry and stop-loss price, calculates the maximum position size that fits within the defined risk, and derives the notional value of the trade. Based on the available margin, it then calculates the required leverage. It also displays the percentage of margin at risk if the stop-loss is hit.
All results are displayed in a table in the top-right corner of the chart. Additionally, a label appears at the entry price level showing the same data.
To use the tool, simply input your planned entry price, stop-loss price, the maximum risk amount in dollars, and the available margin in the settings menu. The script will update all values automatically in real time.
This tool works with any market where capital risk is expressed in absolute terms (such as USD), including futures, CFDs, and leveraged spot positions. For inverse contracts or percentage-based stops, manual adjustment is required.
Adaptive Trend SelectorThe Adaptive Trend Selector is a comprehensive trend-following tool designed to automatically identify the optimal moving average crossover strategy. It features adjustable parameters and an integrated backtester that delivers institutional-grade insights into the recommended strategy. The model continuously adapts to new data in real time by evaluating multiple moving average combinations, determining the best performing lengths, and presenting the backtest results in a clear, color-coded table that benchmarks performance against the buy-and-hold strategy.
At its core, the model systematically backtests a wide range of moving average combinations to identify the configuration that maximizes the selected optimization metric. Users can choose to optimize for absolute returns or risk-adjusted returns using the Sharpe, Sortino, or Calmar ratios. Alternatively, users can enable manual optimization to test custom fast and slow moving average lengths and view the corresponding backtest results. The label displays the Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of the strategy, with the buy-and-hold CAGR in parentheses for comparison. The table presents the backtest results based on the fast and slow lengths displayed at the top:
Sharpe = CAGR per unit of standard deviation.
Sortino = CAGR per unit of downside deviation.
Calmar = CAGR relative to maximum drawdown.
Max DD = Largest peak-to-trough decline in value.
Beta (β) = Return sensitivity relative to buy-and-hold.
Alpha (α) = Excess annualized risk-adjusted returns.
Win Rate = Ratio of profitable trades to total trades.
Profit Factor = Total gross profit per unit of losses.
Expectancy = Average expected return per trade.
Trades/Year = Average number of trades per year.
This indicator is designed with flexibility in mind, enabling users to specify the start date of the backtesting period and the preferred moving average strategy. Supported strategies include the Exponential Moving Average (EMA), Simple Moving Average (SMA), Wilder’s Moving Average (RMA), Weighted Moving Average (WMA), and Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA). To minimize overfitting, users can define constraints such as a minimum and maximum number of trades per year, as well as an optional optimization margin that prioritizes longer, more robust combinations by requiring shorter-length strategies to exceed this threshold. The table follows an intuitive color logic that enables quick performance comparison against buy-and-hold (B&H):
Sharpe = Green indicates better than B&H, while red indicates worse.
Sortino = Green indicates better than B&H, while red indicates worse.
Calmar = Green indicates better than B&H, while red indicates worse.
Max DD = Green indicates better than B&H, while red indicates worse.
Beta (β) = Green indicates better than B&H, while red indicates worse.
Alpha (α) = Green indicates above 0%, while red indicates below 0%.
Win Rate = Green indicates above 50%, while red indicates below 50%.
Profit Factor = Green indicates above 2, while red indicates below 1.
Expectancy = Green indicates above 0%, while red indicates below 0%.
In summary, the Adaptive Trend Selector is a powerful tool designed to help investors make data-driven decisions when selecting moving average crossover strategies. By optimizing for risk-adjusted returns, investors can confidently identify the best lengths using institutional-grade metrics. While results are based on the selected historical period, users should be mindful of potential overfitting, as past results may not persist under future market conditions. Since the model recalibrates to incorporate new data, the recommended lengths may evolve over time.

Lump Sum Favorability (SPX & NDX)This indicator provides a visual dashboard to gauge the statistical favorability of deploying a "Lump Sum" investment into the SPX (S&P 500) or NDX (Nasdaq 100).
The primary goal is not to time the exact market bottom, but to identify zones of significant pessimism or euphoria. Historically, periods of indiscriminate selling have represented high-probability entry points for long-term investors.
The dashboard consists of two parts:
1. The Favorability Gauge: A 12-segment gauge that moves from Red (Unfavorable) to Teal (Favorable).
2. The Summary Text: An optional text box (enabled in settings) that provides a plain-English summary of the current market breadth.
---
The Method: Market Breadth
This indicator is not based on the price of the index itself. Price-based indicators (like an RSI on the SPX) can be misleading. In a market-cap-weighted index, a few mega-cap stocks can hold the index price up while the vast majority of "average" stocks are already in a deep bear market.
This tool uses Market Breadth to measure the true, underlying health and participation of the entire market.
How It Works
1. Data Source: The indicator pulls the daily percentage of companies within the selected index (SPX or NDX) that are trading above their 200-day moving average. (Data tickers: S5TH for SPX, NDTH for NDX).
2. Smoothing: This raw data is volatile. To filter out daily noise and confirm a persistent trend, the indicator calculates a 5-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) of this percentage. This is the value used by the indicator.
3. Interpretation:
High Value (>= 50%): More than half of the stocks are above their long-term average. This signifies the market is "Overheated" or in a risk-on phase. The favorability for a new lump sum investment is considered Low.
Low Value (< 50%): Less than half of the stocks are above their long-term average. This signifies "Oversold" conditions or capitulation. These moments historically offer the best favorability for starting a new long-term investment.
---
How to Use the Indicator
1. The Favorability Gauge
The gauge is designed to be intuitive: Red means "Stop/Caution," and Teal means "Go/Opportunity."
Note: The gauge's logic is inverted from the data value to achieve this simplicity.
Red Zone (Left): UNFAVORABLE
This corresponds to a high percentage of stocks being above their 200d MA (>= 50%). The market is considered Overheated, and the favorability for a new lump sum investment is low.
Teal Zone (Right): FAVORABLE
This corresponds to a low percentage of stocks being above their 200d MA (< 50%). The market is considered Oversold, and the favorability for a new lump sum investment is high.
2. The Summary Text
When "Show Summary Text" is enabled in the settings, a box will appear at the top-center of your chart. This box provides a clear, data-driven summary, such as:
"Currently, only 22% of S&P 500 companies are above their 200-day MA. Market is Oversold."
The color of this text will automatically change to match the market state (Red for Overheated, Teal for Oversold), providing instant confirmation of the gauge's reading.
---
Settings
Market: Choose the index to analyze: SPX (S&P 500) or NDX (Nasdaq 100).
Gauge Position: Select where the gauge dashboard should appear on your chart (default is Bottom Right).
Show Summary Text: Toggle the descriptive text box on or off (default is On).
---
This indicator is a statistical and historical guide, not a financial advice or timing signal. It is designed to measure favorability based on past market behavior, not to provide certainty.
Extreme oversold conditions can persist, and markets can always go lower. This tool should be used as one component of a broader investment and risk-management framework. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
GARCH Range PredictorThis was inspired by deltatrendtrading's video on GARCH models to predict daily trading ranges and identify favorable trading conditions. Based on advanced volatility forecasting techniques, it predicts whether a trading day's true range will exceed a threshold, helping traders decide when to trade or skip a session.

RBLR - GSK Vizag AP IndiaThis indicator identifies the Opening Range High (ORH) and Low (ORL) based on the first 15 minutes of the Indian equity market session (9:15 AM to 9:30 AM IST). It draws horizontal lines extending these levels until market close (3:30 PM IST) and generates visual signals for price breakouts above ORH or below ORL, as well as reversals back into the range.
Key features:
- **Range Calculation**: Captures the high and low during the opening period using real-time bar data.
- **Line Extension**: Lines are dynamically extended bar-by-bar within the session for clear visualization.
- **Signals**:
- Green triangle up: Crossover above ORH (potential bullish breakout).
- Red triangle down: Crossunder below ORL (potential bearish breakout).
- Yellow labels: Reversals from breakout levels back into the range.
- **Labels**: "RAM BAAN" marks the ORH (inspired by a precise arrow from the Ramayana), and "LAKSHMAN REKHA" marks the ORL (inspired by a protective boundary line from the same epic).
- **Customization**: Toggle signals on/off and select line styles (Dotted, Dashed, Solid, or Smoothed, with transparency for Smoothed).
The state-tracking logic prevents redundant signals by monitoring if price remains outside the range after a breakout. This helps users observe range-bound behavior or directional moves without built-in alerts. This indicator is particularly useful for day trading on longer intraday timeframes (e.g., 15-minute charts) to identify session-wide trends and avoid noise in shorter frames. For best results, apply on intraday timeframes on NSE/BSE symbols. Note that lines and labels are limited to the script's max counts to avoid performance issues on long histories.
**Disclaimer**: This indicator is for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute financial, investment, or trading advice. Trading in financial markets involves significant risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Users should conduct their own research, consider their financial situation, and consult with qualified professionals before making any investment decisions.

The Kalman VWAP Filter is built on two core ideas from quantitative finance and control theory:
Kalman filtering — a recursive Bayesian estimator used to infer the true underlying state of a noisy system (in this case, fair price).
VWAP anchoring — a dynamic reference that weights price by traded volume, representing where the majority of transactions have occurred.
By merging these concepts, the filter produces a line that behaves like a "smart moving average": smooth when noise is high, fast when markets trend, and self-adjusting based on both market structure and user-defined noise parameters.
How it works
Measurement blend : Combines the chosen Price Source (e.g., close or hlc3) with either a Session VWAP or a Rolling VWAP baseline. The VWAP Weight input controls how much the filter trusts traded volume versus price movement.
Kalman recursion : Each bar updates an internal "state estimate" using the Kalman gain, which determines how much to trust new observations vs. the prior state.
Noise parameters :
Process Noise controls agility — higher values make the filter more responsive but also more volatile.
Measurement Noise controls smoothness — higher values make it steadier but slower to adapt.
Filter order (N) : Defines how many parallel state estimates are used. Larger orders yield smoother output by layering multiple one-dimensional Kalman passes.
Final output : A refined price trajectory that captures VWAP-adjusted fair value while dynamically adjusting to real-time volatility and order flow.
Why this matters
Most smoothing techniques (EMA, SMA, Hull) trade off lag for smoothness. Kalman filtering, however, adaptively rebalances that tradeoff each bar using probabilistic weighting, allowing it to follow market state changes more efficiently. Anchoring it to VWAP integrates microstructure context — capturing where liquidity truly lies rather than only where price moves.
Use cases
Trend tracking : Color-coded candle painting highlights shifts in slope direction, revealing early trend transitions.
Fair value mapping : The line represents a continuously updated equilibrium price between raw price action and VWAP flow.
Adaptive moving average replacement : Outperforms static MAs in variable volatility regimes by self-adjusting smoothness.
Execution & reversion logic : When price diverges from the Kalman VWAP, it may indicate short-term imbalance or overextension relative to volume-adjusted fair value.
Cross-signal framework : Use with standard VWAP or other filters to identify convergence or divergence between liquidity-weighted and state-estimated prices.
Parameter guidance
Process Noise : 0.01–0.05 for swing traders, 0.1–0.2 for intraday scalping.
Measurement Noise : 2–5 for normal use, 8+ for very smooth tracking.
VWAP Weight : 0.2–0.4 balances both price and VWAP influence; 1.0 locks output directly to VWAP dynamics.
Filter Order (N) : 3–5 for reactive short-term filters; 8–10 for smoother institutional-style baselines.
Interpretation
When price > Kalman VWAP and slope is positive → bullish pressure; buyers dominate above fair value.
When price < Kalman VWAP and slope is negative → bearish pressure; sellers dominate below fair value.
Convergence of price and Kalman VWAP often signals equilibrium; strong divergence suggests imbalance.
Crosses between Kalman VWAP and the base VWAP can hint at shifts in short-term vs. long-term liquidity control.
Summary
The Kalman VWAP Filter blends statistical estimation with market microstructure awareness, offering a refined alternative to static smoothing indicators. It adapts in real time to volatility and order flow, helping traders visualize balance, transition, and momentum through a lens of probabilistic fair value rather than simple price averaging.

Broad Market for Crypto + index# Broad Market Indicator for Crypto
## Overview
The Broad Market Indicator for Crypto helps traders assess the strength and divergence of individual cryptocurrency assets relative to the overall market. By comparing price deviations across multiple assets, this indicator reveals whether a specific coin is moving in sync with or diverging from the broader crypto market trend.
## How It Works
This indicator calculates percentage deviations from simple moving averages (SMA) for both individual assets and an equal-weighted market index. The core methodology:
1. **Deviation Calculation**: For each asset, the indicator measures how far the current price has moved from its SMA over a specified lookback period (default: 24 hours). The deviation is expressed as a percentage: `(Current Price - SMA) / SMA × 100`
2. **Market Index Construction**: An equal-weighted index is built from selected cryptocurrencies (up to 15 assets). The default composition includes major crypto assets: BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL, XRP, ADA, AVAX, LINK, DOGE, and TRX.
3. **Comparative Analysis**: The indicator displays both the current instrument's deviation and the market index deviation on the same panel, making it easy to spot relative strength or weakness.
## Key Features
- **Customizable Asset Selection**: Choose up to 15 different cryptocurrencies to include in your market index
- **Flexible Configuration**: Toggle individual assets on/off for display and index calculation
- **Current Instrument Tracking**: Automatically plots the deviation of whatever chart you're viewing
- **Visual Clarity**: Color-coded lines for easy differentiation between assets, with the market index shown as a filled area
- **Adjustable Lookback Period**: Modify the SMA period to match your trading timeframe
## How to Use
### Identifying Market Divergences
- When the current instrument deviates significantly above the index, it shows relative strength
- When it deviates below, it indicates relative weakness
- Assets clustering around zero suggest neutral market conditions
### Trend Confirmation
- If both the index and your asset are rising together (positive deviation), it confirms a broad market uptrend
- Divergence between asset and index can signal unique fundamental factors or early trend changes
### Entry/Exit Signals
- Extreme deviations from the index may indicate overbought/oversold conditions relative to the market
- Convergence back toward the index line can signal mean reversion opportunities
## Settings
- **Lookback Period**: Adjust the SMA calculation period (default: 24 hours)
- **Asset Configuration**: Select which cryptocurrencies to monitor and include in the index
- **Display Options**: Show/hide individual assets, current instrument, and market index
- **Color Customization**: Personalize colors for better visual analysis
## Best Practices
- Use on higher timeframes (4H, Daily) for more reliable signals
- Combine with volume analysis for confirmation
- Consider fundamental news when assets show extreme divergence
- Adjust the asset basket to match your trading focus (DeFi, L1s, memecoins, etc.)
## Technical Notes
- The indicator uses `request.security()` to fetch data from multiple symbols
- Deviations are calculated independently for each asset
- The zero line represents perfect alignment with the moving average
- Index calculation automatically adjusts based on active assets
## Default Assets
1. BTC (Bitcoin) - BINANCE:BTCUSDT
2. ETH (Ethereum) - BINANCE:ETHUSDT
3. BNB (Binance Coin) - BINANCE:BNBUSDT
4. SOL (Solana) - BINANCE:SOLUSDT
5. XRP (Ripple) - BINANCE:XRPUSDT
6. ADA (Cardano) - BINANCE:ADAUSDT
7. AVAX (Avalanche) - BINANCE:AVAXUSDT
8. LINK (Chainlink) - BINANCE:LINKUSDT
9. DOGE (Dogecoin) - BINANCE:DOGEUSDT
10. TRX (Tron) - BINANCE:TRXUSDT
Additional slots (11-15) are available for custom asset selection.

Kelly Wave Position Matrix 20251024 V1 ZENYOUNGA simple table is designed for use when opening a position. It applies the Kelly formula to calculate a more scientific position size based on win rate and risk–reward ratio. At the same time, it displays 1.65× ATR stop-loss levels for both long and short positions to serve as a reference for comparing with existing stop-loss placements.
Additionally, the table back-calculates the corresponding position size based on a 2% total capital loss limit, using the actual loss ratio. It also shows the current wave trend status as a pre-filtering condition.
Overall, this table integrates the core elements of trading — trend (wave confirmation), win rate, risk–reward ratio, and position sizing — making it an effective checklist before entering a trade. Its purpose is to help achieve a probabilistic edge and ensure positive expected value in trading decisions.
Statistical Price Deviation Index (MAD/VWMA)SPDI is a statistical oscillator designed to detect potential price reversal zones by measuring how far price deviates from its typical behavior within a defined rolling window.
Instead of using momentum or moving averages like traditional indicators, SPDI applies robust statistics - a rolling median and Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) - to calculate a normalized measure of price displacement. This normalization keeps the output bounded (from −1 to +1 by default), producing a stable and consistent oscillator that adapts to changing volatility conditions.
The second line in SPDI uses a Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) instead of a simple price median. This creates a complementary oscillator showing statistically weighted deviations based on traded volume. When both oscillators align in their extremes, strong confluence reversal signals are generated.
How It Works
For each bar, SPDI calculates the median price of the last N bars (default 100).
It then measures how far the current bar’s midpoint deviates from that rolling median.
The Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) of those distances defines a “normal” range of fluctuation.
The deviation is normalized and compressed via a tanh mapping, keeping the oscillator in fixed boundaries (−1 to +1).
The same logic is applied to the VWMA line to gauge volume-weighted deviations.
How to Use
The blue line (Price MAD) represents pure price deviation.
The green line (VWMA Disp) shows the volume-weighted deviation.
Overbought (red) zones indicate statistically extreme upward deviation -> potential short-term overextension.
Oversold (green) zones indicate statistically extreme downward deviation -> potential rebound area.
Confluence signals (both lines hitting the same extreme) often mark strong reversal points.
Settings Tips
Lookback length controls how much historical data defines “normal” behavior. Larger = smoother, smaller = more sensitive.
Smoothing (RMA length) can reduce noise without changing the overall statistical logic.
Output scale can be set to either −1..+1 or 0..100, depending on your visual preference.
Alerts and color fills are fully customizable in the Style tab.
Summary:
SPDI transforms raw price and volume data into a statistically bounded deviation index. When both Price MAD and VWMA Disp reach joint extremes, it highlights probable market turning points - offering traders a clean, data-driven way to spot potential reversals ahead of time.
WorldCup Dashboard + Institutional Sessions© 2025 NewMeta™ — Educational use only.
# Full, Premium Description
## WorldCup Dashboard + Institutional Sessions
**A trade-ready, intraday framework that combines market structure, real flow, and institutional timing.**
This toolkit fuses **Institutional Sessions** with a **price–volume decision engine** so you can see *who is active*, *where value sits*, and *whether the drive is real*. You get: **CVD/Delta**, volume-weighted **Momentum**, **Aggression** spikes, **FVG (MTF)** with nearest side, **Daily Volume Profile (VAH/POC/VAL)**, **ATR regime**, a **24h position gauge**, classic **candle patterns**, IBH/IBL + **first-hour “true close”** lines, and a **10-vote confluence scoreboard**—all in one view.
---
## What’s inside (and how to trade it)
### 🌍 Institutional Sessions (Sydney • Tokyo • London • New York)
* Session boxes + a highlighted **first hour**.
* Plots the **true close** (first-hour close) as a running line with a label.
**Use:** Many desks anchor risk to this print. Above = bullish bias; below = bearish. **IBH/IBL** breaks during London/NY carry the most signal.
### 📊 CVD / Delta (Flow)
* Net buyer vs seller pressure with smooth trend state.
**Use:** **Rising CVD + acceptance above mid/POC** confirms continuation. Bearish price + rising CVD = caution (possible absorption).
### ⚡ Volume-Weighted Momentum
* Momentum adjusted by participation quality (volume).
**Use:** Momentum>MA and >0 → trend drive is “real”; <0 and falling → distribution risk.
### 🔥 Aggression Detector
* ROC × normalized volume × wick factor to flag **forceful** candles.
**Use:** On spikes, avoid fading blindly—wait for pullbacks into **aligned FVG** or for aggression to cool.
### 🟦🟪 Fair Value Gaps (with MTF)
* Detects up to 3 recent FVGs and marks the **nearest** side to price.
**Use:** Trend pullbacks into **bullish FVG** for longs; bounces into **bearish FVG** for shorts. Optional threshold to filter weak gaps.
### 🧭 24h Gauge (positioning)
* Shows current price across the 24h low⇢high with a mid reference.
**Use:** Above mid and pushing upper third = momentum continuation setups; below mid = sell the rips bias.
### 🧱 Daily Volume Profile (manual per day)
* **VAH / POC / VAL** derived from discretized rows.
**Use:** **POC below** supports longs; **POC above** caps rallies. Fade VAH/VAL in ranges; treat them as break/hold levels in trends.
### 📈 ATR Regime
* **ATR vs ATR-avg** with direction and regime flag (**HIGH / NORMAL / LOW**).
**Use:** HIGH ⇒ give trades room & favor trend following. LOW ⇒ fade edges, scale targets.
### 🕯️ Candle Patterns (contextual, not standalone)
* Engulfings, Morning/Evening Star, 3 Soldiers/Crows, Harami, Hammer/Shooting Star, Double Top/Bottom.
**Use:** Only with session + flow + momentum alignment.
### 🤝 Price–Volume Classification
* Labels each bar as **continuation**, **exhaustion**, **distribution**, or **healthy pullback**.
**Use:** Align continuation reads with trend; treat “Price↑ + Vol↓” as a caution flag.
### 🧪 Confluence Scoreboard & B/S Meter
* Ten elements vote: 🔵 bull, ⚪ neutral, 🟣 bear.
**Use:** Execution filter—take setups when the board’s skew matches your trade direction.
---
## Playbooks (actionable)
**Trend Pullback (Long)**
1. London/NY active, Momentum↑, CVD↑, price above 24h mid & POC.
2. Pullback into **nearest bullish FVG**.
3. Invalidate under FVG low or **true-close** line.
4. Targets: IBH → VAH → 24h high.
**Range Fade (Short)**
1. Asia/quiet regime, **Price↑ + Vol↓** into **VAH**, ATR low.
2. Nearest FVG bearish or scoreboard skew bearish.
3. Invalidate above VAH/IBH.
4. Targets: POC → VAL.
**News/Impulse**
Aggression spike? Don’t chase. Let it pull back into the aligned FVG; require CVD/Momentum agreement before entry.
---
## Alerts (included)
* **Bull/Bear Confluence ≥ 7/10**
* **Intraday Target Achieved** / **Daily Target Achieved**
* **Session True-Close Retests** (Sydney/Tokyo/London/NY)
*(Keep alerts “Once per bar” unless you specifically want intrabar triggers.)*
---
## Setup Tips
* **UTC**: Choose the reference that matches how you track sessions (default UTC+2).
* **Volume threshold**: 2.0× is a strong baseline; raise for noisy alts, lower for majors.
* **CVD smoothing**: 14–24 for scalps; 24–34 for slower markets.
* **ATR lengths**: Keep defaults unless your asset has a persistent regime shift.
---
## Why this framework?
Because **timing (sessions)**, **truth (flow)**, and **location (value/FVG)** together beat any single signal. You get *who is trading*, *how strong the push is*, and *where risk lives*—on one screen—so execution is faster and cleaner.
