Market State & Candlestick Patterns Made in ChinaIndicator Overview
The Market State & Candlestick Patterns Master (MSCP-Master) is a comprehensive, all-in-one technical analysis indicator that combines real-time market state identification with multiple candlestick pattern recognition. This powerful tool not only identifies classic price action patterns but also adapts their significance based on the current market volatility environment, providing context-aware trading signals for smarter decision-making.
Core Innovation: Adaptive Pattern Recognition
Traditional candlestick pattern indicators work in isolation, often giving false signals in the wrong market conditions. MSCP-Master revolutionizes this approach by:
First assessing market state (Low Volatility/Ranging/High Volatility) through a multi-dimensional scoring system
Then applying different confirmation criteria for each pattern based on the detected market state
Finally providing context-aware signals that are more reliable because they consider the broader market environment
Three-Layer Analysis System
Layer 1: Market State Identification (The Foundation)
Uses four key metrics to calculate a comprehensive market state score:
ATR Relative Volatility: Measures current volatility against historical norms
Bollinger Band Width: Identifies contraction/expansion periods
Amplitude Analysis: Evaluates recent price range activity
Momentum Strength: Assesses directional movement power
Based on the composite score, the market is classified into:
🔵 Low Volatility: Tight ranges, potential for breakout
🟡 Ranging: Normal oscillation within established bounds
🟢 High Volatility: Wide ranges, strong momentum moves
Layer 2: Pattern Recognition With Context Adaptation
Each pattern uses different confirmation logic based on market state:
High Volatility State: Uses SMA-based trend confirmation (Long/Short SMA comparison)
Low Volatility/Ranging States: Uses ATR-adjusted threshold confirmation (dynamic based on current vs. baseline volatility)
This adaptive approach means patterns are only considered valid when they make sense for the current market environment.
Layer 3: Comprehensive Pattern Library
The indicator identifies 10+ critical candlestick patterns:
Engulfing Patterns (Bullish/Bearish) with Harami confirmation requirement
Outside Bars (Bullish/Bearish) with customizable engulfing criteria
False Breakouts (Bullish/Bearish) with sophisticated tracking of "trap" moves
Hammer/Inverted Hammer with ATR-adjusted significance thresholds
Doji Variations (Standard, Dragonfly, Gravestone) with precise mathematical definitions
Three Soldiers Method (Enhanced) with dual absolute/relative strength measurements
Enhanced Three Soldiers Method - Beyond Traditional Interpretation
Unlike traditional "Three White Soldiers/Black Crows" patterns that rely on simple visual recognition, our enhanced version introduces:
Quantifiable Strength Metrics: Each candle must meet customizable thresholds for both absolute price movement (%) and relative efficiency (close-to-open vs. total range)
Two Signal Types: Preparation signals (amber) for early warnings and True signals (green/red) for confirmed breakouts
Breakout Confirmation: "True signals" only trigger when price breaks above/below recent signal cluster extremes
Full Customization: All parameters adjustable to match your trading style and market conditions
Key Features
🎯 Context-Aware Signals: Patterns are validated differently in high vs. low volatility markets
📊 Real-Time Market State: Clear color-coded background shows current market conditions
🔍 Multiple Confirmation Methods: Uses both SMA trend-following and ATR-adjusted threshold approaches
⚙️ Fully Customizable: Every parameter adjustable across all pattern types and market state calculations
📈 Comprehensive Visualization: Color-coded labels, reference lines, and information tables
Strategic Application
Preparation Signals: Use amber "single candle" or "three candle" signals to prepare for potential moves
True Signals: Green/red "True" signals indicate confirmed momentum - ideal for main entries
Market State Alignment: Trade with the market's character - aggressive in high volatility, cautious in low volatility
Pattern Convergence: Look for multiple patterns confirming the same direction for higher probability setups
Parameter Groups (Organized for Easy Customization)
Market State Identification: ATR, Bollinger Band, Amplitude, Momentum parameters
Pattern-Specific Settings: Engulfing, Outside Bars, False Breakouts, Hammer/Doji patterns
Three Soldiers Method: Absolute/Relative strength thresholds, lookback periods
Confirmation Logic: SMA lengths, ATR adjustment factors, sensitivity settings

Linear Regression Channel with Crossover SignalsLinear Regression Channel with Crossover Signals is an overlay indicator that plots a statistically derived **linear regression channel** around price and optionally generates **crossover / re-entry signals**, labels, alerts, and a small on-chart dashboard. It is designed to help visualize trend direction (via regression slope), typical price “containment” (via deviation bands), and potential breakout/mean-reversion events when price interacts with the channel.
---
## What this indicator shows
### 1) Linear Regression Midline (trend estimate)
The midline is the **linear regression value** of `close` over the selected *Regression Length*. It represents the “best fit” straight line through the last *N* bars, providing:
- **Trend direction** (via slope: rising/falling/flat)
- A dynamic reference level for midline cross signals (optional)
### 2) Upper / Lower Deviation Bands (channel)
A channel is built around the regression midline using the **standard deviation of price from the regression line**:
- Upper Band = midline + (stdDev × Deviation Multiplier)
- Lower Band = midline − (stdDev × Deviation Multiplier)
This creates a volatility-scaled envelope that adapts to how tightly or loosely price has been tracking the regression line.
### 3) Optional visual aids
You can independently toggle:
- Channel lines (upper/lower)
- Midline
- Channel fill (shaded area between bands)
- Background coloring to reflect whether price is **above / inside / below** the channel
A dashboard (optional) displays live values and context such as band values, distance from bands, current position, and trend direction.
---
## How it works (calculation overview)
### Regression calculation (manual)
The script calculates slope and intercept using a least-squares approach across the last `lengthInput` bars:
- It iterates over the window, builds sums (X, Y, XY, X²), and computes:
- **Slope** and **Intercept** of the regression line
- The midline value plotted is the regression value at the most recent point in the window.
### Standard deviation from the regression line
Instead of using standard deviation of closes directly, it measures the **deviation of each close from the regression line** and computes:
- variance = average of squared deviations
- stdDev = sqrt(variance)
This is what makes the channel represent “how far price typically strays from the trend line” over the lookback period.
---
## Signal logic (what triggers markers)
All signals are optional and controlled by the **Signal Types** toggles.
### A) Upper band cross signals (optional)
- **Upper Breakout (OB)**: price crosses **above** the Upper Band (`crossover(close, upperBand)`)
- **Upper Re-entry**: price crosses **back below** the Upper Band (`crossunder(close, upperBand)`)
These are often interpreted as “extension above channel” and “return from extension,” but interpretation depends on your style (breakout vs mean reversion).
### B) Lower band cross signals (optional)
- **Lower Breakdown (OS)**: price crosses **below** the Lower Band (`crossunder(close, lowerBand)`)
- **Lower Re-entry**: price crosses **back above** the Lower Band (`crossover(close, lowerBand)`)
### C) Midline cross signals (optional)
- **Mid Bullish**: price crosses above the regression midline
- **Mid Bearish**: price crosses below the regression midline
### D) Re-entry-to-channel signals (enabled by default)
The script tracks whether price was previously:
- **above** the channel (close > upperBand)
- **below** the channel (close < lowerBand)
- **inside** the channel
It then triggers “re-entry” when price returns inside the channel:
- **Bullish Re-entry (Bounce Support)**: price was below and crosses back above the Lower Band
- **Bearish Re-entry (Rejection Resistance)**: price was above and crosses back below the Upper Band
These are intended to highlight potential mean-reversion acceptance back into the “normal” channel range.
---
## Plot markers and labels (what you’ll see)
If enabled, the indicator can plot:
- Triangles and circles for band/midline crosses (with short text such as **OB**, **OS**, ▲, ▼)
- Diamond markers for re-entry confirmations (✓ / ✗)
- Optional text labels describing the event (e.g., “OVERBOUGHT Breakout”, “REJECTION Resistance”, etc.)
Note: this script sets high label/line limits (`max_labels_count` / `max_lines_count`) to reduce the chance of hitting platform limits when many signals occur.
---
## Alerts (optional)
When “Enable Alerts” is ON, the script can fire alerts for:
- Upper breakout / upper re-entry
- Lower breakdown / lower re-entry
- Re-entry bounce / re-entry rejection
- Midline bullish / bearish cross
Alerts are triggered **once per bar** when conditions occur. They are informational and should be validated within your trading plan.
---
## Inputs (how to tune it)
### Channel Settings
- **Regression Length**: larger = smoother and slower to react; smaller = more responsive but noisier
- **Deviation Multiplier**: larger = wider channel (fewer band touches); smaller = tighter channel (more touches)
- **Extend Forward**: present as an input, but this version does not draw forward-projected lines; it primarily affects nothing visually unless you add line objects later
### Signal Settings / Types
- Enable only the signal types you actually use to keep charts clean.
- Re-entry signals are ON by default because they depend on context (previously outside → back inside), which many traders find more meaningful than a single cross alone.
### Visual Settings
- Show/hide channel, midline, fill, background coloring
- Customize colors for upper/lower/mid and fill for readability
---
## Limitations / notes (important for public descriptions)
- This is an **indicator**, not a strategy; it does not backtest performance.
- Linear regression channels are **context-dependent**: strong trends can “ride” a band, and ranging markets can produce frequent crosses.
- Signals are based on **price crossing computed bands** and do not predict direction by themselves.
- Standard deviation bands reflect past dispersion around the regression line; volatility regime shifts can change behavior quickly.
- Always apply risk management and confirm with additional context (structure, volume, higher timeframe bias, session conditions, etc.).
Beast Mode - Flux OscillatorBeast Mode – Flux Oscillator (BM-FLUX) is a momentum + volatility-compression oscillator designed to help traders visualize (1) directional momentum shifts and (2) “pressure build-up” periods where volatility contracts and expansion risk increases. It combines a MACD-style momentum core with a Bollinger Bands vs. Keltner Channels squeeze filter, displayed in a clean oscillator pane (overlay=false).
---
What makes it useful/original:
1) You can switch the smoothing method between EMA and VWMA. When VWMA is enabled, the fast/slow averages are volume-weighted, which can help emphasize momentum moves that occur on higher participation.
2) It includes built-in volatility squeeze context by detecting when Bollinger Bands are inside Keltner Channels and marking those compression periods on the zero line, helping you interpret momentum signals differently during contraction vs. expansion regimes.
---
How it works (overview):
Momentum core:
- The script calculates a fast MA and slow MA from close (EMA or VWMA depending on the “Weight with Volume?” setting).
- The Fast Flux (MACD line) is: fast_ma − slow_ma
- The Slow Flux (signal line) is: EMA(macd_line, Signal Length)
- The Flux Histogram is: macd_line − signal_line
Squeeze detection:
- Bollinger Bands are calculated using BB Length and BB Mult.
- Keltner Channels are built using the same basis and a True Range average over KC Length scaled by KC Mult.
- A squeeze is active when the Bollinger Bands are fully inside the Keltner Channels.
---
How to read it:
Histogram colors (direction + acceleration):
- Bright green = above zero and rising (bullish momentum strengthening)
- Dark green = above zero but falling (bullish momentum weakening)
- Bright red = below zero and falling (bearish momentum strengthening)
- Dark red = below zero but rising (bearish momentum weakening)
Lines:
- Teal line = MACD line (Fast Flux)
- Orange line = Signal line (Slow Flux)
Squeeze dots:
- A white dot on the zero line indicates “Squeeze Active” (volatility compression).
---
Alerts:
- Flux Cross UP: MACD crosses above signal (momentum turns bullish)
- Flux Cross DOWN: MACD crosses below signal (momentum turns bearish)
- Squeeze Active: volatility compression detected (BB inside KC)
Alerts are informational conditions and do not guarantee outcomes.
---
Limitations / notes:
- This is an indicator (not a strategy) and does not provide backtest results.
- Like most momentum tools it can whipsaw in ranging markets.
- Squeeze conditions highlight volatility compression but do not predict direction by themselves.
- Always use proper risk management and confirm signals with your broader trading plan.
Beast Mode - ORB Indicator [Advanced Retest & Targets]Beast Mode - ORB Indicator
The Beast Mode - ORB Indicator is a comprehensive institutional trading system designed to automate the Opening Range Breakout (ORB) strategy. Unlike standard ORB indicators that simply draw high/low lines, this script integrates "Smart Retest" logic, dynamic risk/reward targets, and volume/volatility filters to help traders identify high-probability setups while filtering out chop and fake-outs.
This tool is designed for Futures (ES, NQ, YM) and Equities traders who rely on the initial market balance to determine the day's directional bias.
How It Works
The Opening Range is defined as the High and Low price established during the first X minutes of the market session (e.g., 5 minutes, 15 minutes). This range represents the initial battle between buyers and sellers.
1. The Range Formation: The script monitors the user-defined opening window (e.g., 9:30–9:35 AM ET). Once the window closes, it plots the ORB High (Green), ORB Low (Red), and Midline (Gray).
2. The Breakout: A signal is generated when a candle closes outside the defined range. This signal is filtered by volume (must be higher than average) and range quality (to avoid trading during extremely tight or over-extended ranges).
3. The Smart Retest (New Feature): Breakouts often fail. The most reliable entry is often the retest of the breakout level. This script uses a unique algorithm to detect valid retests:
- Tolerance: Price must return to within a specific point range of the ORB level.
- Rejection: Price must physically "bounce" away from the level by a minimum point value.
- Volume: The rejection candle must have significant volume to confirm institutional defense of the level.
Key Features
1. Dynamic Risk/Reward Targets
The indicator automatically projects profit targets based on the size of the Opening Range:
- Target 1 (💰): Placed at a 1:1 ratio relative to the range size. (e.g., If the range is 20 points, T1 is 20 points above the High).
- Target 2: A user-defined multiplier (default 2.0x) for extended trend days.
- Stop Loss Zones: Visual dotted lines indicating statistically significant stop-loss placement levels.
2. Smart Retest Logic
Instead of blindly buying a touch of the line, the script waits for confirmation. It looks for a "Checkmark" pattern: Breakout -> Pullback to Zone -> Rejection Bounce. Retest signals are marked with a distinct "RE" label.
3. Quality Filters
- Volume Filter: Ensures that breakout signals are backed by relative volume (RVOL) to avoid "low volume drift" fake-outs.
- Range Filter: Prevents signals if the Opening Range is too small (chop) or too large (exhaustion), based on point values.
4. Professional Dashboard
A data table displays real-time statistics:
- Status: Forming, Active, or Waiting.
- Range: The exact size of the opening range in points.
- Position: Current price relation to the ORB (Above/Below/Inside).
- Targets: Exact price levels for T1 and T2.
Settings & Configuration
- ORB Timeframe: Select between 5m PreMarket, 5m Standard, 15m, or 30m ranges.
- Trading Session: Define your active trading hours (signals are muted outside this window).
- Target Multiplier: Adjust the extension for the second target (e.g., 1.5x, 2.0x, 3.0x).
- Retest Specifics:
- Tolerance: How close price must get to the line to count as a test.
- Min Bounce: How hard price must reject to trigger a signal.
- Visuals: Fully customizable colors for lines, backgrounds, and labels.
Disclaimer
This indicator is a technical analysis tool intended to assist in identifying market structure and potential areas of interest. Past performance of the Opening Range Breakout strategy does not guarantee future results. Users should always manage risk appropriately and use this tool in conjunction with their own analysis.

Gamma Conviction OscillatorGamma Conviction Oscillator
OVERVIEW
The Gamma Conviction Oscillator is a specialized momentum study that integrates volume-weighted price change with a dynamic volatility-adjustment engine. Unlike traditional oscillators, it scales its sensitivity based on current market ATR, allowing the tool to stay responsive during low-volatility drifts and stabilize during high-volatility expansions.
THE MATH BEHIND THE "CONVICTION"
Volatility-Adjusted Sensitivity: The script utilizes a normalized ATR ratio to calculate a 'Dynamic Adjustment Factor.' This ensures that overbought/oversold thresholds are not static but react to the current market regime.
Volume-Weighted Basis: Momentum is calculated using the product of price-change and volume, ensuring that "Conviction" is only displayed when there is actual participation behind the move.
Trend-Alignment Filter: The coloring engine uses a long-term moving average anchor to determine the 'Context.' Conviction is categorized as 'Trend-Aligned' or 'Counter-Trend' based on the price relation to this long-term anchor.
HOW TO USE
Observe the Oscillator Color:
Bright Lime / Bright Red: High-momentum extremes aligned with the long-term trend. Indicates areas where price movement has strong participation and trend confirmation.
Teal / Maroon: Counter-trend momentum extremes, highlighting potential areas for trend testing or mean-reversion.
Assess Overbought and Oversold Zones:
The dynamic overbought (OB) and oversold (OS) levels adjust based on current market volatility. Readings outside these zones indicate stronger-than-normal conviction.
Consider Trend Context:
Compare the oscillator reading to the long-term trend (based on the selected moving average). Alignment with the trend reinforces trend strength; divergence may indicate temporary pullbacks or consolidation.
Adjust Inputs for Your Trading Timeframe:
Base Oscillator Length: Shorter values make the oscillator more responsive to intraday momentum; longer values smooth for swing analysis.
Volatility Smoothing Length: Controls sensitivity to ATR fluctuations; higher values reduce noise in volatile markets.
Dynamic Sensitivity Factor: Fine-tunes how strongly volatility influences the oscillator scale.
Use as an Educational Guide:
This tool is a visualization of historical and current momentum. Use it to study how momentum builds, fades, or reverses. It does not generate trade signals and is for educational and informational purposes only.
NOTES
All calculations are proprietary and protected to preserve the underlying logic. This script is intended purely as an educational visualization tool.
Rainbow Road [kingthies]Rainbow Road
Rainbow Road is a trend-structure and momentum visualization tool built around a cascading chain of smoothed simple moving averages. Instead of plotting independent moving averages on price, each line is progressively smoothed from the prior one using the same length, creating a layered “road” that reveals trend strength, direction, and transition with exceptional clarity.
OVERVIEW
Rainbow Road visualizes trend quality using a spectrum of fast-to-slow moving averages derived from one another. Because each average is smoothed from the prior line, the indicator forms a continuous structure rather than a collection of unrelated signals. This makes trend alignment, momentum expansion, and compression immediately visible.
HOW IT WORKS
The first average is a Simple Moving Average of price
Each subsequent average is an SMA of the previous average using the same length
This creates a cascading chain of averages with increasing smoothness
Colors progress from red (fastest) to purple (slowest) to represent trend hierarchy
HOW TO READ IT
Strong Trend : All averages are aligned and expanding in the same direction
Acceleration : Spacing between averages increases
Deceleration : Spacing narrows while direction remains intact
Consolidation : Averages converge and overlap
Reversal Risk : Faster averages cross back through the slowest average
TREND CONTEXT
The optional fill between the fastest and slowest averages visualizes overall trend pressure. Expanding fill suggests strengthening momentum, while contracting fill highlights compression and potential regime change.
USE CASES
Trend confirmation and directional bias
Momentum expansion vs compression analysis
Identifying trend exhaustion and early reversal zones
Contextual filtering for entries and exits
WHY RAINBOW ROAD
Traditional moving average stacks often produce clutter and redundant signals. Rainbow Road focuses on structure and flow, helping traders evaluate the quality of a trend rather than reacting to individual crossovers.
BEST USED WITH
Price action and market structure
Support and resistance
Volatility or range-based tools
Higher-timeframe trend bias
Rainbow Road is designed to sit quietly on your chart and clearly communicate whether the market is flowing, stalling, or preparing to turn.
Opening Power Bar Strategy (Trade Your Edge)💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW:
The Opening Power Bar Strategy indicator identifies high-momentum “Power Bars” during the first 60 minutes of the New York session and generates Long/Short signals using levels from the pre-market session. The indicator plots Stop-Loss and three Take-Profit levels, manages dynamic trailing stop-loss logic (optional), displays pre-market levels, and supports alerts.
This indicator was developed by Flux Charts in collaboration with Steven Adams (Trade Your Edge).
🔹What is the purpose of the Opening Power Bar Strategy?:
The purpose of the Opening Power Bar Strategy is to trade the most active and meaningful part of the trading day, the opening move. It’s designed to take advantage of the volume and volatility that happens right after the market opens, when traders react to overnight news and pre-market movement. The indicator helps identify when that early move has real strength by looking for a large, decisive candle (a Power Bar) forming around key pre-market levels. Once it detects one, it builds a full trade plan automatically with entry, stop-loss, and take-profits.
🔹Why are signals only during the first 60 minutes?:
Most of the day’s total trading volume happens within the first 60 minutes after the market opens. This period usually sets the high or low of the day and defines the bias: whether the market will trend or stay in a range. After this first hour, volume and volatility typically decrease, and price movement becomes less consistent.
🔹What’s the theory behind the Opening Power Bar Strategy?:
The Opening Power Bar Strategy is built on a simple principle: the first hour after the market open sets the tone for the rest of the day. This period consistently shows the highest trading volume, as traders react to overnight news, economic data releases, pre-market movements, etc.
These early reactions often establish the day’s high/low, revealing where buyers or sellers are strongest. When a large, decisive candle (a Power Bar) forms during this time near the pre-market high or low, it confirms that one side is taking control. The pre-market high and low define the range that institutions and short-term traders had already reacted to before the market open. Thus, when a Power Bar forms near one of these levels during the first hour, it often marks the start of a breakout or rejection that shapes the rest of the session.
🎯 OPENING POWER BAR STRATEGY FEATURES:
The Opening Power Bar Strategy indicator includes 5 main features:
Power Bars
Pre-Market High / Low / Mid Levels
Long / Short Signals + Risk Management
Simple Moving Average (SMA)
Alerts
1️⃣ Power Bars:
🔹What are Power Bars?:
Power Bars are large, high-momentum candles that show strength in one direction of the market. They form when a candle’s body (the distance between open and close) dominates most of the candle’s total range (the distance between high and low), meaning price moved strongly in one direction with little to no pullback. To qualify, the candle must also be large relative to nearby candles. This size difference confirms that the candle is a true burst of momentum. In short, Power Bars reveal where real strength has just entered the market and where momentum is most likely to continue.
🔹How to interpret and use Power Bars:
When a Power Bar forms, it signals that price just made a strong directional move with little to no pullback. Traders can use these bars to identify momentum shifts and potential trade setups during the opening session.
A bullish Power Bar means buyers controlled the entire candle, often marking the start of upward momentum. A bearish Power Bar means sellers were in control the entire candle, often signaling the start of downwards momentum. In the Opening Power Bar Strategy, these candles are only used for signals when they appear within the pre-market high and low range. Their location relative to the pre-market midline determines direction bias:
Bullish Power Bars forming near the pre-market low can signal potential long opportunities.
Bearish Power Bars forming near the pre-market high can signal potential short opportunities.
🔹How are Power Bars identified?:
Power Bars are detected and confirmed only after the candle closes, ensuring that the full candlestick body and range can be measured. The indicator does not repaint or change past bars. Once a Power Bar is confirmed, it stays fixed on the chart. Power Bars can be detected on any timeframe or symbol that produces standard candlestick data. However, since the Opening Power Bar Strategy focuses on the first 60 minutes of the trading session, they’re most meaningful on lower intraday timeframes such as 1-minute to 5-minute charts.
The indicator identifies Power Bars using two user-defined inputs: Sensitivity and Body %.
🔹Sensitivity:
The Sensitivity setting determines how large a candle’s body must be relative to nearby candles. It uses the Average True Range (ATR) to compare the current candle’s size with recent candles, and the Sensitivity value acts as a multiplier of that ATR. A higher Sensitivity value means the candle must be much larger than recent candles to qualify, so fewer Power Bars will form. A lower value makes the filter less strict, allowing more candles to qualify.
🔹Body %:
The Body % setting controls what percentage of the candle’s total range must be body rather than Wick. A higher value requires the body to take up more of the candle’s total range, so fewer candles pass the filter. A lower value allows candles with more wick to qualify, so more Power Bars will form.
Body % Example:
If Body % is set to 50, the candle body must cover at least half of the candle’s total range. For example, if a candle’s high is $11, its low is $10, its open is $10.20, and its close is $10.80, then the total range is $1 ($11 - $10) and the body is $0.60 ($10.80 - $10.20). Body % = (Body / Total Range) * 100 = (0.60 ÷ 1.00 × 100) = 60%. Since 60% is greater than the input of 50%, this candle passes the Body % criteria.
Once a candlestick closes and it meets both the Sensitivity and Body % requirements, it will be plotted in a different color, using barcolor() function. Users can adjust the bullish/bearish colors of Power Bars by adjusting the ‘Candle Coloring’ setting. The Power Bar candle coloring is purely visual and does not affect signal logic or strategy calculations.
🔹Do Power Bars form outside the first 60 minutes?:
Power Bars can technically form at any time of day, but the Opening Power Bar Strategy only uses those formed between 9:30 AM and 10:30 AM ET for trade signals.
2️⃣ Pre-Market Levels
The indicator tracks pre-market price action from 4:10 AM EST until 9:29 AM EST to determine the session’s High and Low. When pre-market ends, both levels are drawn and continuously projected to the right throughout the regular session. A midline is calculated as the midpoint between those levels and is used to determine bullish or bearish bias at the open. This midline is calculated in the indicator’s background and not visually plotted.
Long signals require price to be positioned below the midline before breaking upward, and Short signals require price to be positioned above the midline before breaking downward.
Users can enable retest labels, which appear if price touches the pre-market low, and closes above it, or if price touches the pre-market high, and closes below it. Users can also enable/disable the pre-market levels. If disabled, the pre-market high and pre-market low levels will not be displayed.
3️⃣Long/Short Signals:
Long and Short signals only trigger during the first hour of the New York trading session, between 9:30 AM and 10:30 AM EST. These signals form between the Pre-Market Low (PML) and Pre-Market High (PMH).
▫️ A Long entry requires:
1) A bullish power bar forms
1.a) The candle’s low is < the 50% area or Midpoint of the PML/PMH range
1.b) The candle closes above the PML, but below the PMH
2) If this candle occurs between 09:30 AM and 10:30 AM, a long signal will appear.
▫️ A Short Entry requires:
1) A bearish power bar forms
1a) The candle’s high is > the 50% area or Midpoint of the PML/PMH range
1b) The candle closes below the PMH, but above the PML
2) If this candle occurs between 09:30 AM and 10:30 AM, a short signal will appear.
Only one trade can be active at a time. Users can enable or disable Long Signals and Short Signals independently. Entry markers appear directly on the chart at confirmation.
When a signal is plotted on the Power Bar’s candle close, the indicator automatically builds a rule-based trade structure and plots the following information:
Stop-Loss (SL)
Take-Profit 1 (TP 1)
Take-Profit 2 (TP 2)
Take-Profit 3 (TP 3)
For Long signals, the SL is placed at the low of the bullish Power Bar and TP 1 is placed at the PMH. The distances for TP 2 and TP 3 are then measured using the move from the entry price to TP 1. That same distance is added once above TP 1 to set TP 2, and added again above TP 2 to set TP 3.
For Short signals, the SL is placed at the high of the bearish Power Bar, and TP 1 is placed at the PML. The distances for TP 2 and TP 3 are then measured using the absolute value of the move from the entry price to TP 1. That same distance is subtracted once below TP 1 to set TP 2, and subtracted again below TP 2 to set TP 3.
🔹Trailing Stop-Loss Feature:
When the Trailing Stop-Loss setting is enabled, the Stop-Loss (SL) automatically adjusts as price reaches take-profit levels. This feature helps secure profits while keeping the trade logic completely rule-based and non-discretionary.
Here’s exactly how it works step-by-step:
▫️ Initial Stop-Loss placement:
For a Long trade, the initial SL is set at the low of the Power Bar that triggered the entry.
For a Short trade, the initial SL is set at the high of the Power Bar that triggered the entry.
This level stays fixed until one of the Take-Profit targets is reached.
▫️ After TP 1 is hit:
The SL automatically moves to the entry price (breakeven).
This eliminates all downside risk on the trade.
▫️ After TP2 is hit:
The SL automatically moves to TP 1
This locks in a partial profit while allowing the trade to continue toward TP 3.
▫️ Final exit condition:
The trade is considered complete once either the trailing Stop-Loss or TP 3 is reached.
4️⃣Simple Moving Average (SMA)
In addition to the core trade logic, the indicator includes an optional Simple Moving Average (SMA) that provides extra confirmation and context for interpreting Power Bar signals. The SMA is not related to any of the signal generation logic. It does not influence when or where Power Bars or trade signals appear. Instead, it serves as a contextual confirmation tool and should be used as an additional way to interpret the strength and quality of a setup once a signal is triggered.
There are a few ways the SMA can be used for extra context with the Opening Power Bar Strategy:
▫️ #1 Directional Confirmation:
The SMA is mainly used as a confirmation tool for countertrend Power Bar setups. It helps traders identify when a strong reversal may be developing against the prior trend.
When the SMA is sloping downward but a bullish Power Bar closes above it, that can signal a potential shift from bearish to bullish momentum.
When the SMA is sloping upward but a bearish Power Bar closes below it, that can indicate a possible transition from bullish to bearish conditions.
▫️ #2 Timing Entries
When a large Power Bar prints a signal far away from the SMA, it often indicates that price has moved quickly and temporarily extended away from its average level. In these cases, the SMA can be used as a pullback area where price may retrace before resuming its move. Waiting for this pullback can often lead to a better risk-to-reward trade setup.
For example, in the chart below, a strong bullish Power Bar formed and triggered a Long signal while closing well above the SMA. Entering immediately after the signal would have produced a 0.22 risk-to-reward to TP 1. However, waiting for price to retrace back toward the SMA before entering would have resulted in a much stronger 2.46 risk-to-reward ratio.
The SMA provides a simple way to identify areas for safer pullback entries when a Power Bar signal forms too far from its average level. This helps traders maintain consistency with their risk-to-reward targets and align entries with their trading plan.
▫️ #3 Risk/Trade Management:
During active trades, the SMA can also be used to gauge the healthiness of a trend.
If price continues to respect the SMA after entry, it supports holding the position toward later Take-Profit levels. Additionally, the SMA can highlight areas where traders may consider adding to existing positions if price respects it.
If price closes strongly back through the SMA in the opposite direction, traders may use that as an early exit or a signal that momentum has shifted.
▫️ Optional and Visual Only:
The SMA is an optional visual overlay that can be turned on or off in the indicator’s settings. It is purely there for traders who want an added layer of confirmation and structure when evaluating setups from the Opening Power Bar Strategy.
Users can customize the length of the SMA and the color within the settings.
📢 Alerts:
The indicator supports alerts, so you never miss a key market move. You can choose to receive alerts for each of the following conditions:
Long Signal
Short Signal
TP 1 (Take-Profit 1)
TP 2 (Take-Profit 2)
TP 3 (Take-Profit 3)
SL (Stop-Loss)
Pre-Market Low Retest
Pre-Market High Retest
🚩UNIQUENESS:
This indicator automates a structured opening-range strategy that traders typically manage manually each morning. It identifies valid Power Bars only when they occur inside the pre-market high/low range, confirms direction using pre-market midline context, and automatically builds risk targets using the pre-market range itself. Once a valid trigger occurs during the defined trade window, the indicator immediately generates a complete trade idea (entry/SL/TP 1-3) with built-in trailing logic and alerts.
RSI Monitor (High/Low) + MTF & Time FilterDual-Source RSI: Calculates RSI on the candle High (to detect selling pressure/overbought) and Candle Low (to detect buying pressure/oversold) rather than just the Close.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Dashboard: An on-screen table displays the Real-Time RSI High and Low values for your current chart plus two user-defined higher timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H).
Session-Based Alerts: A built-in time filter restricts alerts to a specific trading window (e.g., 09:30–16:00), effectively blocking signals during low-volume overnight sessions.
Independent Alert Timeframe: You can configure alerts to monitor a specific timeframe (e.g., 60-min) regardless of the timeframe you are currently viewing.
Real-Time Execution: Alerts trigger immediately when levels are crossed (no bar-close confirmation required), ensuring you catch moves as they happen.

ITCP ATR BB RSI Stoch SignalsThis indicator generates BUY/SELL signals when price stretches outside Bollinger Bands during elevated volatility, confirmed by RSI, a Stochastic crossover, and a volume filter. To reduce counter-trend entries, it applies a macro trend filter using the Daily SMA 200: it looks for longs only above the SMA 200 and shorts only below it.
It tends to perform best in Forex, especially on liquid pairs, because market conditions (liquidity, continuous sessions, and relatively stable spreads on major pairs) often suit this confirmation-based approach. That said, it can be adapted to other markets (indices, commodities, or crypto) by tuning parameters such as Bollinger length/deviation, RSI/Stoch thresholds, and ATR settings (multipliers/factors) to fit the asset’s volatility.
It also plots ATR-based stop-loss reference levels (configurable smoothing) and includes webhook-ready alerts with a JSON payload (action, symbol, price, stop_loss, time, and interval) for external automation. The goal is to support rules-based execution and reduce impulsive trades: if conditions don’t align, there’s no signal.
If you manage to improve it, discover better settings, or build a more robust solution inspired by this, I’d really appreciate it if you share it back (even if it’s just feedback or an idea). I’m open to collaborating and iterating together to create stronger versions over time.

The Navigator Fortress (ORB M15 + H4 Filter)To read The Navigator Fortress (v1.4), you simply follow a "top-down" sequence of filters. It moves from the macro-trend (The Compass) to the local boundary (The Harbor) and finally to your execution signal (The Beam).
1. The H4 Compass (The Strategy Filter)
Before you look at the price, look at the Dashboard in the top-right corner.
🧭 COMPASS: BULLISH (Blue): The "Big Ships" are moving up. You are only authorized to take LONG breakouts.
🧭 COMPASS: BEARISH (Orange): The "Big Ships" are moving down. You are only authorized to take SHORT breakouts.
🧭 COMPASS: IN JAWS (Gray): Price is stuck between the H4 10 and 50 EMAs. This is "The Fog." Do not trade, as the win rate drops significantly in this zone.
2. The M15 Harbor (The Field of Play)
At 8:45 AM CST, the script will finish drawing two horizontal lines:
Blue Line (Top): The high of the 8:30–8:45 AM window. This is your resistance wall.
Orange Line (Bottom): The low of that same window. This is your support floor.
The Rule: You are waiting for a candle to close completely outside these lines. A "wick" poking through is not a signal; it is a trap.
3. The Beam & State (The Execution)
When a valid breakout happens that matches your H4 Compass:
The Label: A label will appear above or below the candle saying "LONG" or "SHORT".
The Background: The entire chart background will turn faint Blue or Orange. This tells you the "Harbor is Open" in that direction until the 10:00 AM CST session close.
The Moat (Stop Loss): Check your Alerts tab or phone notification. The script will give you a specific price (e.g., 1.08552). This is your 2.0x ATR "Moat"—place your stop loss here to stay safe from market noise.
🛡️ Summary of the Workflow
Check Compass: Is it Blue, Orange, or Gray?
Wait for 8:45: Let the M15 Harbor lines form.
Wait for the Beam: Did a candle close outside the line?
Drop Anchor: Execute the trade, set your stop at the "Moat" price from the alert, and aim for the next major Daily S/R level or a 2:1 reward.
The Navigator Fortress (ORB M15 + H4 Filter)The Navigator Fortress is a high-probability execution engine designed specifically for the EUR/USD New York open. It utilizes a professional maritime approach to trading, moving away from retail "breakout" guessing and focusing on institutional trend alignment and volatility-based risk management.
The script automates the Opening Range Breakout (ORB) logic, but with a rigorous multi-timeframe "Compass" to filter out low-quality signals and "market noise".
🛡️ Core Pillars of the Script
The H4 Compass (Trend Alignment): The script pulls 4-hour EMA data to ensure you are only trading in the direction of the macro-trend.
Longs: Only authorized if the H4 10 EMA is above the H4 50 EMA and price is trading above both.
Shorts: Only authorized if the H4 10 EMA is below the H4 50 EMA and price is trading below both.
The Jaws: If price is oscillating between the EMAs, the script identifies this as "The Fog" (No-Trade Zone) and suppresses alerts.
The M15 Harbor (Automatic Range Mapping): The script automatically identifies and plots the high and low of the first 15 minutes of the New York session (8:30 AM – 8:45 AM CST).
The 90-Minute Window: Strictly calibrated for the highest volume period. The "Session Gates" close at 10:00 AM CST to prevent overtrading during the mid-day liquidity drop.
The Moat (Volatility-Based Risk): When a "Beam" (alert) fires, the script calculates a dynamic Stop Loss based on 2.0x ATR. This places your exit point beyond normal market noise, protecting you from standard "stop-hunts."
⚓ How to Execute
Alignment: Check the top-right Dashboard. Only look for trades if the Compass is "Bullish" or "Bearish."
The Beam: Wait for a candle to close outside the M15 Harbor lines.
The Entry: Upon a valid close and trend alignment, the script fires a "Beam" alert.
Risk Management: Follow the alert’s specific "Moat" price for your Stop Loss and risk no more than 1% of your account capital.
Technical Specifications
Asset: Optimized for EUR/USD.
Timeframe: M1, M5, or M15 for execution.
Timezone: Hardcoded for America/Chicago (CST) to handle Daylight Savings automatically.
Indicators Used: H4 10/50 EMA, 15-minute Opening Range, 14-period ATR.
[TA] Range Regime# Range Regime – Candle Range Monitor (RR)
## Short Description
Tracks current candle range vs historical average, flags range spikes, and labels volatility regime (LOW / NORMAL / HIGH) at a glance.
---
## What It Does
Range Regime (RR) is a volatility/range monitoring indicator designed to help you quickly understand whether the market is *quiet, normal, or expanding* on the current timeframe.
It calculates:
* Current Range
* Either Candle Range (High–Low) *or* True Range (TR)
* Average Range over a lookback window (optionally smoothed)
* Max / Min / Mid range levels over the same lookback
* Spike detection
* Marks candles where current range is ≥ (Spike Threshold × Average)
* Regime state
* Compares the current range vs a longer Baseline Average
* Labels LOW / NORMAL / HIGH volatility regime in a small table
It also shows a compact stats table with points and ticks (based on `syminfo.mintick`) so you can think in the units you actually trade.
---
## Why It’s Helpful
This tool is useful because range expansion and compression often determine:
* Whether a setup is worth taking right now
* Whether your stops/targets are realistic for the session
* Whether you should size down (high regime) or avoid forcing trades (low regime)
* When the market is shifting from chop → impulse (spikes) or impulse → stall (compression)
In practice, RR helps you answer:
* “Is volatility expanding or contracting?”
* “Is this move unusually large relative to recent history?”
* “Are we in a high-vol environment where risk needs to change?”
---
## How To Use It
1. Add to chart (it plots in its own pane).
2. Choose your Range Mode :
* Candle (H–L) : pure bar range (great for clean range monitoring)
* True Range (TR) : includes gaps (better for overnight / news / gap-prone markets)
3. Set Lookback (N) :
* Typical: 20–100
* Smaller = more reactive, larger = more stable
4. Optionally enable Smooth the Average :
* Helps reduce noise and false “spike” triggers
5. Adjust Spike Threshold (× Avg) :
* Common values:
* 1.3–1.6 = more frequent spike flags
* 1.8–2.5 = only “real” expansions get flagged
6. Set Baseline Length (Regime) :
* Typical: 150–300
* This is your “background volatility context”
---
## How To Read The Plots
* Current Range (columns): what the market just “spent” in range.
* Avg: normal range for this timeframe.
* Max / Min: extremes over the lookback window.
* Mid: midpoint between Max and Min (quick “center” reference).
* Spike Line (× Avg): the threshold for a “spike.”
* Background highlight: appears when the current candle qualifies as a spike.
* Regime table (top-left):
* HIGH when current range > 1.25× baseline average
* LOW when current range < 0.75× baseline average
* Otherwise NORMAL
---
## Practical Trading Uses (Examples)
* Risk calibration: If regime is HIGH , consider wider stops / smaller size.
* Trade selection: Avoid mean-reversion scalps when spikes are frequent (momentum environment).
* Session context: Spot when market transitions from tight range (LOW) into expansion (spike + HIGH).
* Instrument comparison: Great for comparing how “active” ES vs NQ vs CL is *on the same timeframe*.
---
## Suggested Defaults
* Lookback (N): 50
* Range Mode: True Range (TR) for gap-prone markets; Candle (H–L) for cleaner intraday bars
* Smoothing: On, length 10
* Spike Threshold: 1.5×
* Baseline Length: 200
---
## Notes / Limitations
* This is not a buy/sell signal . It’s a volatility/range context tool .
* Results depend on timeframe. A spike on 1m means something very different than a spike on 1h.
* “Ticks” display uses the symbol’s `mintick` and will be most meaningful on instruments with standardized tick sizes (futures, many FX pairs, etc.).

Doji Rob ScriptThis is a good script for swings. Tradingview wants me to write a novel but I'm only sharing this with friends so there is no need. It' a doji indicator, not a rocket, not a plane, not a jet. It's an indicator you can use for swings. That is all.
Gemini Scalping Strategy [Pro Dash]Description: Gemini Scalping Strategy is a comprehensive monitoring system designed for high-frequency trading and scalping on lower timeframes (1m to 15m). This tool combines a fast-response Trailing Stop based on Average True Range (ATR) with a professional, real-time multi-factor Dashboard to provide a complete view of market structure and momentum.
Key Features:
Reactive ATR Trailing Stop: Provides immediate Buy/Sell signals based on volatility expansion and price breakouts. The trail line dynamically changes color to reflect volatility health.
Contextual Dashboard:
Choppiness Index (Corrected): Identifies whether the market is in a Trending phase (below 38.2) or a Sideways phase (above 61.8), helping to avoid "noise" in flat markets.
RSI Control Logic: Uses the 50-level pivot to define market control (Bull Control vs. Bear Control) instead of simple overbought/oversold levels.
ADX Strength: Measures trend intensity to filter out weak breakouts.
ATR Expansion: Monitors whether current volatility is above its average to confirm entry momentum.
How to use:
Entry: Primary signals are generated by the ATR triangles.
Confirmation: Use the Dashboard to verify market quality. High-probability trades occur when ATR signals align with "TREND" status on the CHOP and "BULL/BEAR CONTROL" on the RSI.
Customization: All dashboard elements (position, size, transparency, and theme) are fully customizable via the settings menu.
Disclaimer: This indicator is for educational and analytical purposes only. Trading involves significant risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results.
Kairos MA Strategy [Personal Version] BHow it Works:
Trend Definition: Uses a Fast MA (e.g., SMA 10) and a Slow MA (e.g., SMA 11).
Uptrend: Fast MA > Slow MA.
Downtrend: Fast MA < Slow MA.
Entry Trigger: The price must retrace to touch the Fast MA.
Validation: The pullback is validated by ATR limits to ensure the price hasn't wicked or closed too far past the MA (preventing "catching a falling knife").
Filters:
Slope Filter: Ensures the MAs have a steep enough angle to avoid trading during flat/choppy markets.
Volatility: Checks VIX (maximum fear) and ATR (minimum movement) to ensure safe market conditions.
Confluence: Optional checks from oscillators like RSI, Stochastic, CCI, etc.
Exits:
Fixed Targets: Uses a defined Take Profit and Stop Loss in points.
No Trade Zone (NTZ): A specific time window that forces all active trades to close (e.g., to avoid holding overnight).
Unique Features:
Custom Dashboard: Displays real-time win rates, streaks, and a "Strategy Grade" directly on the chart.
Dual-Engine: Runs as both a visual indicator (with custom labels) and a backtestable strategy simultaneously.
AperonFx ATR Pivot Points 1.0This indicator combines classic pivot levels with ATR-based extensions and a refined weekly timing logic. The objective is to provide clean, robust support and resistance levels that remain consistent across all chart timeframes.
MarketMind PRO+M🜁rketMind PRO+ ────────────────────
Advanced Market Interpretation & Conviction Context
M🜁rketMind PRO+ is an advanced market interpretation system designed for traders who require structured insight into alignment, stability, and contextual agreement — without alerts, signals, or hindsight-based indicators.
Rather than issuing instructions or trade direction, M🜁rketMind PRO+ focuses on interpreting how market conditions relate to one another , whether internal agreement is present, and whether the environment supports conviction or restraint.
This script is designed as a standalone interpretive analysis tool. It does not provide execution guidance or predictive guarantees.
WHAT IT DOES ────────────────────
M🜁rketMind PRO+ evaluates current market conditions across multiple analytical dimensions — including macro environment, sector behavior, momentum, structure, liquidity, stability, and session dynamics — and synthesizes them into a structured, human-readable HUD.
In addition to describing what is happening, the system interprets internal agreement and contextual coherence , helping traders understand whether conditions appear supportive, fragile, or transitional.
The script provides insight into:
Market bias and directional alignment
Regime and phase behavior across sessions
Momentum quality, degradation, and stall dynamics
Internal agreement and alignment consistency
Structural stability and transition risk
Contextual factors that may support or undermine conviction
The goal is to clarify how well conditions agree internally , not to tell traders what action to take.
HOW TO USE IT ────────────────────
M🜁rketMind PRO+ is not a signal generator.
It is designed to complement discretionary price action, rule-based systems, or systematic strategies by helping traders evaluate higher-order context, such as:
How aligned are current conditions, and how broad is that agreement?
Is momentum supported, fragile, or deteriorating?
Does the environment appear stable, transitional, or deceptive?
Does this context justify conviction, or suggest restraint?
M🜁rketMind PRO+ emphasizes synthesis over reaction, preserving chart clarity while providing interpretive depth.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY ────────────────────
M🜁rketMind PRO+ is intentionally interpretive.
It focuses on contextual agreement and stability , rather than isolated signals or prescriptive outputs:
Multi-dimensional context and alignment interpretation
Internal agreement and coherence awareness
Stability and transition sensitivity
Session-aware interpretive framing
No alerts, entries, or execution logic
No forward performance claims or guarantees
Nothing is instructed.
Nothing is promised.
This script explains how conditions relate , not what to trade.
WHO IT IS FOR ────────────────────
M🜁rketMind PRO+ is suited for traders who:
Require interpretive context beyond surface-level awareness
Manage exposure across changing regimes
Value understanding alignment, stability, and agreement
Prefer synthesis over single-indicator workflows
It is not designed for:
Buy or sell alerts
Automated execution systems
Traders seeking prescriptive instructions
IMPORTANT NOTES ────────────────────
M🜁rketMind PRO+ does not provide financial advice
No system can predict future price behavior with certainty
This tool is designed to support judgment, not replace it
Used appropriately, M🜁rketMind PRO+ helps traders operate with greater selectivity, contextual clarity, and risk awareness
ATR Risk EngineATR Risk Engine is a precision trade-management indicator designed to standardize risk using Average True Range (ATR) rather than arbitrary price levels.
It defines stop-loss and take-profit levels based on current market volatility, allowing traders to maintain consistent risk behavior across different symbols, timeframes, and market conditions.
This is not a signal indicator.
It is a risk framework built to integrate seamlessly with existing strategies.
Key Features
ATR-based Stop Loss and Take Profit levels
Risk based position sizing using account size, risk per trade, and stop distance
Customizable ATR multipliers
Long / Short trade mode toggle
Risk distance displayed in:
- Dollar value
- Percentage
- Price distance
- Clean on-chart visualization with status-line readouts
Fully protected, invite-only script
Why Use ATR-Based Risk?
Fixed-price stops ignore volatility.
ATR Risk Engine dynamically adjusts risk to current market conditions, helping traders avoid stops that are too tight in high volatility or too loose in low volatility.
The result is proportional, repeatable risk management, regardless of the instrument traded.
Intended Use
Trade planning and execution
Risk normalization across markets
Consistent stop and target placement
Works with discretionary or systematic strategies
Who This Is For
✔ Traders who already have defined entries
✔ Traders focused on process and discipline
✔ Active day traders and swing traders
✖ Not a buy/sell signal
✖ Not a standalone strategy
✖ Not designed for automated “set and forget” trading
Disclaimer
This indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only.
It does not constitute financial advice and does not guarantee performance.
Trading involves risk.

Apex Trend & Liquidity Master V2.1The Apex Trend & Liquidity Master is a hybrid trading system designed to align traders with the dominant market trend while identifying key structural price levels. Unlike simple moving average crossovers or standalone support/resistance tools, this script integrates a volatility-adaptive "Trend Cloud" with a "Smart Liquidity" engine.
This integration allows the script to offer unique filtering capabilities, such as hiding counter-trend liquidity zones to reduce chart noise and focus on high-probability continuations.
How It Works
Adaptive Trend Cloud The backbone of the system is the Trend Cloud, calculated using a Hull Moving Average (HMA) base with ATR bands. The cloud expands and contracts based on market volatility.
Green Cloud: Bullish Regime. The market is trending up; look for long opportunities.
Red Cloud: Bearish Regime. The market is trending down; look for short opportunities.
Smart Liquidity Zones (with Integration) The script automatically detects Pivot Highs and Lows to draw Supply (Resistance) and Demand (Support) zones. These zones persist until price breaks through them (mitigation).
Integration Feature: A "Filter Zones by Trend" option is included in the settings. When enabled, this feature connects the Trend Cloud to the Liquidity Engine:
It will only display Demand zones when the Trend Cloud is Bullish.
It will only display Supply zones when the Trend Cloud is Bearish.
Note on Lag: Zones are based on pivots (default lookback: 10). A zone appears on the chart 10 bars after the pivot forms. These are historical structural levels.
Signal Filters Buy and Sell labels are generated when the Trend Cloud changes color, but they are filtered to ensure quality:
Volume Filter: Signals only appear if the current volume is higher than the 20-period average.
RSI Filter: Prevents buying when RSI is overbought (>70) or selling when oversold (<30).
Live HUD An on-chart dashboard provides real-time data on:
Trend Bias: Direction of the cloud.
Momentum: RSI strength (Weak/Neutral/Strong).
Volume: High vs. Low activity.
Usage Guide
Identify the Trend: Use the background fill color to determine if you should be looking for longs (Green) or shorts (Red).
Wait for Structure: Look for price to pull back into a "Smart Liquidity" zone. For example, in a Green Trend, wait for price to touch a Green Demand box.
Confirm with Momentum: Check the Dashboard. Ideally, you want to see "Strong" momentum aligning with your trade direction.
Settings: If the chart is too cluttered, enable "Filter Zones by Trend" in the settings menu to hide counter-trend boxes.
Credits & Attribution This script combines original integration logic with adapted open-source concepts:
Smart Liquidity Logic: The method for generating Supply/Demand boxes via Pivot Highs/Lows and array management is adapted from open-source logic commonly used in Smart Money Concepts (SMC) indicators, notably popularized by LuxAlgo and the broader Pine community.
Trend Logic: The volatility cloud utilizes standard Hull Moving Average (HMA) and ATR formulas.
Disclaimer This indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice. Past performance of pivot levels or trend signals does not guarantee future results.
Whale Dash + Colored CandlesIstruzioni per l'uso:
Analisi Rapida: Guarda la dashboard per capire il trend generale e la potenza del volume.
Analisi Visiva: Quando vedi una candela colorata, sai che l'istituzionale ha lasciato l'impronta. Se una candela Oro appare sopra la SMA 50 (Trend Bullish), la probabilità di continuazione è molto alta.
Come usarla per le tue analisi:
Se vedi Potenza > 3.0x e Stato Balena: ATTIVA, guarda la candela corrente. Se è oro ed il trend è BULLISH, è un segnale di acquisto istituzionale.
Se vedi TREND: BEARISH e lo stato balena diventa attivo su una candela viola, le balene stanno scaricando posizioni.
Ingresso Long: Aspetta una candela Oro. Guarda la dashboard: se il Vol. Balena è molto alto (>3.0x), la forza del movimento è reale.
Ingresso Short: Aspetta una candela Viola. Guarda la dashboard: se il Vol. Balena è molto alto (>3.0x), la forza del movimento è reale.
Stop Loss: Posizionalo appena sotto la linea Oro/Viola creata dalla candela balena. Se il prezzo la rompe, l'istituzionale è uscito.
Consiglio:
Attendi sempre la fine dalla candela colorata per capire l'intenzione.
Instructions for use:
Quick Analysis: Look at the dashboard to understand the overall trend and volume strength.
Visual Analysis: When you see a colored candle, you know that the institutional player has left its mark. If a Gold candle appears above the SMA 50 (Bullish Trend), the probability of continuation is very high.
How to use it for your analyses:
If you see Power > 3.0x and Whale Status: ACTIVE, look at the current candle. If it is gold and the trend is BULLISH, it is a signal of institutional buying.
If you see TREND: BEARISH and the whale status becomes active on a purple candle, the whales are offloading positions.
Long Entry: Wait for a Gold candle. Check the dashboard: if Whale Vol. is very high (>3.0x), the strength of the movement is real.
Short Entry: Wait for a Purple candle. Check the dashboard: if Whale Vol. is very high (>3.0x), the strength of the movement is real.
Stop Loss: Place it just below the Gold/Purple line created by the whale candle. If the price breaks it, the institution has exited. Tip: always wait for the colored candle to close to understand the intention.
PRO TREND PULLBACK
PRO TREND PULLBACK – trend-following pullback strategy (NAS100 / US30 focus, 1m)
What is this?
- EMA-based trend + pullback entry logic, with optional VWAP and EMA-order filters.
- Built-in preset system for NAS100/US30 on the 1-minute timeframe (Safe / Balanced / Turbo), plus a fully manual “Custom” mode.
Core logic (quick overview)
1) Trend filter:
- Above EMA TREND: long bias, below: short bias
- Optional: VWAP filter, EMA order filter, HTF EMA TREND filter, Multi-EMA direction filter
2) Pullback trigger:
- Pullback level selectable: FAST / MID / SLOW EMA
- Long: touch + bullish confirmation, Short: touch + bearish confirmation (toggleable)
3) Quality filters:
- RSI zone filter (separate for long/short)
- Candle filters: doji / oversized candle / wick (pin-zone) / low-volatility block
- ADX trend-strength filter (via ta.dmi), entry cooldown (bar-based)
- Sideways/range handling: Filter / Penalty / Edge-only mode (ADX + slope + “chop” cross counter)
Risk management / trade management (backtest & automation)
- ATR-based SL/TP: SL, TP1, TP2 (TP1 partial close optional)
- Break-even trigger based on ATR (optional)
- “Max bars in trade” time-based exit (optional)
- Volatility-regime scaling: dynamic SL/TP scaling in high-volatility regimes (optional)
Signal grading (Grade / Score)
- Radar-style scoring + grade: S / A / B / C
- Structural penalties (e.g., lower low / higher high, EMA50 touch, proximity to swing high)
- Trend “fatigue” penalty (down-weights repeated same-direction signals)
- Optional “Lux SMC-lite” score layer (BOS/CHoCH + OB + EQH/EQL + Premium/Discount)
- Optional “ABC-lite (Elliott A-B-C)” score layer (pivot-based)
Alerts / Robot JSON (for webhook)
- Built-in JSON alerts via alert() with watchlist-friendly fields:
secret, strategy, signal, signal_type, symbol, timeframe, time (UTC), price, + optional grade/score
- TradingView alert setup: Condition = “Any alert() function call”
(Webhook URL + your own secret is recommended)
Important notes
- This is a STRATEGY (strategy) intended for backtesting and signal logic. Before live use, test thoroughly and account for slippage/spread differences.
- Pivot-based components (SMC-lite / ABC-lite) are naturally confirmation-based (delayed), so “structure/ABC” values do not print instantly.
- Not financial advice. Use at your own risk.
Suggested starting setup
- Presets: Auto + Balanced (NAS100/US30 1m), then fine-tune with Safe/Turbo.
- For robot mode: turn useRobotAlert=ON and change payloadSecret to a unique value.
