TradingBee Money FlowTradingBee Money Flow
Most traders make the mistake of relying on a single indicator. RSI only looks at price. OBV only looks at volume. If you only look at one, you are missing half the picture.
TradingBee Money Flow solves this by calculating a weighted consensus of 10 different technical metrics combined into a single "Flow Score." It answers the most important question in trading: "Is the money actually backing up the price move?"
If Price goes UP, but this indicator goes DOWN, it’s a trap.
How It Works: The 3-Tier Logic
This script does not just average numbers; it weights them based on importance to creating a true "Composite Score" (-100 to +100).
Tier 1: Primary Volume Flow (50% Weight) The engine of the indicator. It measures raw capital entering/exiting.
MFI (Money Flow Index)
OBV Momentum (On-Balance Volume)
Chaikin Money Flow (CMF)
Tier 2: Secondary Momentum (35% Weight) Validates if the volume is actually moving price efficiently.
VWAP Oscillation
Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) Momentum
Klinger Oscillator
Elders Force Index
Tier 3: Confirmation & Volatility (15% Weight) Filters out fake-outs using volatility metrics.
RSI
ADX (Trend Strength)
Bollinger Band Width
The "Clean Divergence" Engine (Unique Feature)
Standard divergence indicators are "noisy"—they print signals on every small pivot. The TradingBee Money Flow uses a custom Clean Wave Filter to only identify high-probability reversals.
It requires two conditions to trigger a Divergence Signal:
The "Gap" Rule (Zero Cross): The indicator must cross the Zero Line in between two peaks. This ensures we are comparing two distinct waves of buying/selling, rather than just jagged noise in a single trend.
The "Shrinkage" Rule: The second wave must be significantly smaller (by a user-defined ratio) than the first. This confirms a true collapse in momentum.
How to Use This Indicator
1. The Histogram (Trend Following)
Bright Green: Buying pressure is accelerating. Strong Trend.
Dark Green: Buying is continuing, but momentum is slowing. Warning sign.
Bright Red: Selling pressure is accelerating.
Zero Line Cross: The definitive signal of a trend change.
2. The Lines (Reversal Trading)
🔴 Red Line (Bearish Divergence): Price made a Higher High, but Money Flow made a Lower High (with a gap in between). Smart money is selling into the rally. Look for Shorts.
🟢 Green Line (Bullish Divergence): Price made a Lower Low, but Money Flow made a Higher Low. Sellers are exhausted. Look for Longs.
Settings
Lookback Period: Adjusts the sensitivity of the composite score.
Pivot Lookback: Increases or decreases the strictness of the pivot detection.
Require Zero Cross: Keep checked for "Clean" signals. Uncheck to see standard divergences.
Wave Size Ratio: Defines how much smaller the second wave must be to trigger a signal.

Candlestick analysis
The Strat - Levels [rdjxyz]◆ OVERVIEW
The Strat - Levels dynamically displays key levels used in The Strat trading methodology, developed by Rob Smith. The level colors are dynamically determined by their Strat classification (1, 2 up, failed 2 up, 2 down, failed 2 down, 3)—making it easy to recognize higher timeframe Strat candle classifications from any lower timeframe.
◆ DETAILS
If you're unfamiliar with The Strat, there are 3 universal scenarios regarding candle behavior:
SCENARIO ONE
The 1 Bar - Inside Bar: A candle that doesn't take out the highs or the lows of the previous candle; aka consolidation.
SCENARIO TWO
The 2 Bar - Directional Bar: A candle that takes out one side of the previous candle; aka trending (or at least attempting to trend).
These can be broken down even further as follows:
2 Up: A candle that takes out the high of the previous candle and closes bullish
Failed 2 Up: A candle that takes out the high of the previous candle and closes bearish
2 Down: A candle that takes out the low of the previous candle and closes bearish
Failed 2 Down: A candle that takes out the low of the previous candle and closes bullish
SCENARIO THREE
The 3 Bar - Outside Bar: A candle that takes out both sides of the previous candle; aka broadening formation.
◇ HOW THE DYNAMIC LEVEL COLORING WORKS
PREVIOUS LEVELS
Previous Day High/Low
Previous Week High/Low
Previous Month High/Low
Previous Quarter High/Low
Previous Year High/Low
Each period's levels are compared to their previous period's levels and colored according to the 3 universal scenarios, which are fixed based on historical data. (No repainting)
CURRENT LEVELS
Current Day Open
Current Week Open
Current Month Open
Current Quarter Open
Current Year Open
Each current period's levels (high, low, and current price) are compared to the previous period's levels and current period's open on every tick—changing colors in real-time as their Strat classification changes. (Will repaint as price action evolves)
E.g. When a new day opens inside of the previous day's range (high/low) the Day Open line will be gray (default for inside bars). When the current day trades above the previous day's range, the Day Open line will become aqua (default for 2 up). If price trades back below the current day's open, the Day Open line will become fuchsia (default for failed 2 up). And if price trades below the previous day's range, the Day Open line will become dark purple (default for 3s).

And each Strat scenario can be custom colored:
1-Bar Color - Default Gray
2-Up Color - Default Aqua
Failed 2-Up Color - Default Fuchsia
2-Down Color - Default White
Failed 2-Down Color - Default Teal
3-Bar Color - Default Dark Purple
◆ USAGE
There are 3 ways to look at these levels:
Potential continuation (e.g. Previous Day's 2-Up High being broken by Current Day's Price)
Potential reversal (e.g. Previous Day's 2-Down High being broken by Current Day's Price)
Potential exhaustion risk (e.g. Previous Month's Low is broken by Current Day's Price but trades back up into the Previous Month's range)
It's best to use this indicator with a separate indicator that color codes your chart's candles according to their Strat Scenario (1, 2, 3) and use top-down analysis to gauge whether to view levels as a sign of continuation, reversal, or exhaustion risk.
◆ WRAP UP
As demonstrated, The Strat - Levels offers Strat Scenario color-coded key levels, making it easy to identify the previous period's Strat Scenario (1, 2-Up, Failed 2-Up, 2-Down, Failed 2-Down, or 3) without needing to manually plot levels or refer to higher timeframes.
◆ DISCLAIMER
This indicator is a tool for visual analysis and is intended to assist traders who follow The Strat methodology. As with any trading methodology, there's no guarantee of profits; trading involves a high degree of risk and you could lose all of your invested capital. Use of this indicator is not indicative of future results and does not constitute and should not be construed as investment advice. All trading decisions and investments made by you are at your own discretion and risk. Under no circumstances shall the author be liable for any direct, indirect, or incidental damages.

Dynamic Support & Resistance ZonesDynamic Support & Resistance Zones
Overview
This indicator automatically detects and visualizes dynamic support and resistance zones based on pivot point analysis. Unlike simple horizontal lines, these zones adapt to market volatility using ATR and track how many times price has respected each level—giving you a real-time strength score for every zone.
How It Works
The indicator identifies swing highs and lows using pivot detection, then creates zones around these price levels. Each zone is continuously monitored for:
Touches: Every time price enters the zone and reverses, the touch count increases
Strength: A 0-100% score based on touch count and recency (zones fade over time if untested)
Breaks: When price closes beyond the zone for consecutive bars, it's marked as broken and removed
Nearby zones of the same type automatically merge to reduce clutter, and only the strongest zones are displayed based on your settings.

Toggle labels and strength display
Option to extend zones into the future
How to Use
For Entries:
Look for confluence when price approaches a high-strength zone (70%+)
Zones with 3+ touches have historically acted as strong reversal points
Use the "approaching zone" alert to get notified before price reaches key levels
For Exits/Targets:
Set profit targets at the nearest resistance (for longs) or support (for shorts)
The info panel shows these levels in real-time
For Breakout Trading:
Watch for breaks of high-touch zones—these often lead to momentum moves
Use the "broke zone" alert to catch breakouts as they happen
Best Practices
On higher timeframes (4H, Daily): Use higher pivot lookback (15-20) for major levels
On lower timeframes (5m, 15m): Use lower pivot lookback (5-8) for scalping levels
For volatile assets: Increase zone width to 1-2%
For ranging markets: Lower min touches to 1 to see more potential levels
Notes
Zones are drawn from the time they were created, extending right
The indicator uses timestamps (not bar indices) so it works on any history length
Broken zones are automatically cleaned up to keep your chart clear
Tip: Combine with volume analysis or momentum indicators for confirmation before trading S/R levels.

⬛ ETH (Extended Hours Trading)
All ETH candles are converted into hollow, black-outline candles, with:
Transparent bodies
Black borders
Black wicks
This creates an immediate visual separation between overnight price action (ETH) and the high-liquidity RTH session—reducing noise and helping traders focus on true market structure.
🔥 Why Use This?
Cleaner chart during overnight chop
Easy to distinguish RTH orderflow from ETH drift
Enhances gap logic, session deviations, and liquidity mapping
Makes your main RTH setups stand out instantly
⚙ Inputs

Psychological Price Level GBPJPY (.250 / .750)This indicator is designed for GBPJPY traders who work with precision and smart-money-based analysis. It automatically plots psychological price levels at .250 and .750, which are known institutional reference points that often influence market structure, price reactions, and liquidity behavior. Unlike typical round-number indicators, this tool focuses specifically on quarter levels, which are frequently used by algorithms, banks, and experienced institutional traders.
Fixed and Reliable Levels
As price evolves, the levels update automatically and remain fixed on the chart without shifting when you scroll. This ensures that the levels always stay anchored to relevant market structure, making them reliable reference points for planning entries, targets, or stop placements.
Customization
The indicator allows full customization. You can freely adjust the line color, line thickness, and line style to match your personal trading chart layout. You can also choose whether lines extend left, right, or both directions, making the tool flexible enough to fit minimalist or highly marked-up workspaces.
Why These Levels Matter
In smart money trading approaches, the .250 and .750 levels often act as magnetic zones. Price frequently gravitates toward them to test liquidity or engineer traps before continuing its move. These levels may serve as rejection points, breakout confirmation zones, or take-profit areas depending on the broader context. Because they frequently align with order blocks, fair value gaps, and market structure shifts, they can add meaningful confluence to directional bias and trade timing.
Who Can Benefit
This tool is particularly useful for scalpers, day traders, and swing traders who base decisions on liquidity behavior and institutional logic. It works well on any timeframe and complements concepts such as premium and discount models, inefficiencies, fair value gaps, and volume imbalances. Many traders find that these price levels help them identify reactions earlier, refine entries, and improve confidence when executing trades.
Final Note
If this indicator supports your trading workflow, feel free to leave a comment or mark it as a favorite + give it a BOOST . Your feedback helps guide future improvements and ensures the tool continues evolving for serious GBPJPY traders.
Happy trading — and stay precise. 🚀📊

Pivot Reversal Signals - Multi ConfirmationPivot Reversal Signals - Multi-Confirmation System
Overview
A comprehensive reversal detection indicator designed for daytraders that combines six independent technical signals to identify high-probability pivot points. The indicator uses a scoring system to classify signal strength as Weak, Medium, or Strong based on the number of confirmations present.
How It Works
The indicator monitors six key reversal signals simultaneously:
1. RSI Divergence - Detects when price makes new highs/lows but RSI shows weakening momentum
2. MACD Divergence - Identifies divergence between price action and MACD histogram
3. Key Level Touch - Confirms price is at significant support/resistance (previous day high/low, premarket high/low, VWAP, 50 SMA)
4. Reversal Candlestick Patterns - Recognizes bullish/bearish engulfing, hammers, and shooting stars
5. Moving Average Confluence - Validates bounces/rejections at stacked moving averages (9/20/50)
6. Volume Spike - Confirms increased participation (default: 1.5x average volume)
Signal Strength Classification
• Weak (3/6 confirmations) - Small circles for situational awareness only
• Medium (4/6 confirmations) - Regular triangles, viable entry signals
• Strong (5-6/6 confirmations) - Large triangles with background highlight, highest probability setups
Visual Features
• Entry Signals: Green triangles (up) for long entries, red triangles (down) for short entries
• Exit Warnings: Orange X markers when opposing signals appear
• Signal Labels: Show confirmation score (e.g., "5/6") and strength level
• Key Levels Displayed:
o Previous Day High/Low - Solid green/red lines (uses actual daily data)
o Premarket High/Low - Blue/orange circles (4:00 AM - 9:30 AM EST)
o VWAP - Purple line
o Moving Averages - 9 EMA (blue), 20 EMA (orange), 50 SMA (red)
• Background Tinting: Subtle color on strongest reversal zones
Key Level Detection
The indicator uses request.security() to accurately fetch previous day's high/low from daily timeframe data, ensuring precise level placement. Premarket high/low levels are dynamically tracked during premarket sessions (4:00 AM - 9:30 AM EST) and plotted throughout the trading day, providing critical support/resistance zones that often influence price action during regular hours.
Customizable Parameters
• Signal strength thresholds (adjust required confirmations)
• RSI settings (length, overbought/oversold levels)
• MACD parameters (fast/slow/signal lengths)
• Moving average periods
• Volume spike multiplier
• Toggle individual display elements (levels, MAs, labels)
Best Practices
• Use on 5-minute charts for entries, confirm on 15-minute for direction
• Focus on Medium and Strong signals; Weak signals provide context only
• Strong signals (5-6 confirmations) have the highest win rate
• Pay special attention to reversals at premarket high/low - these levels frequently hold
• Previous day high/low often acts as major support/resistance
• Always use proper risk management and stop losses
• Works best in moderately trending markets
Alert Capabilities
Set custom alerts for:

EDGE Session LevelsEDGE Session Levels - Comprehensive Intraday Reference Tool
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
OVERVIEW:
EDGE Session Levels automatically plots the most critical price levels that professional traders reference throughout the trading day. This indicator eliminates the need to manually draw or track key session levels, giving you instant visual reference points for support, resistance, and market context.
Designed primarily for futures indices traders (ES, NQ, YM, RTY), this indicator comes pre-configured with the correct session times for equity index futures. However, all time windows are fully customizable, making it adaptable for any futures product including Gold, Crude Oil, Bonds, Stock and more.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
KEY FEATURES
▸ PRIOR SESSION LEVELS (Yesterday's High & Low)
Displays the previous day's RTH (Regular Trading Hours) high and low. These are among the most watched levels by institutional traders and frequently act as support/resistance zones.
▸ CASH SESSION CLOSE
Plots yesterday's closing price at the end of Regular Trading Hours (default: 3:15 PM CT / 4:15 PM ET). This level represents the final price where cash equity market participants ended their trading day and is a key reference for overnight gap analysis and mean reversion strategies.
▸ CASH SESSION OPEN
Marks today's opening price when the cash equity market opened (default: 8:30 AM CT / 9:30 AM ET). The cash open is a critical level as it represents the first price where stock market participants could execute trades, often leading to significant reactions at this level throughout the session. This time window is fully configurable for traders of other products with different pit open times.
▸ GLOBEX HIGH/LOW (Overnight Range)
Tracks and displays the overnight session's high and low. These levels update dynamically during the Globex session and become fixed once RTH begins. The overnight range often contains price during slower trading periods and breakouts from this range can signal directional momentum.
▸ INITIAL BALANCE (First Hour High/Low)
Captures and displays the high and low of the first hour of trading (8:30-9:30 AM CT). The Initial Balance is a cornerstone of Market Profile theory and is used to gauge whether the market is likely to trend or remain range-bound for the session.
▸ OPENING RANGE BOX
Draws a visual box representing the first 30 seconds of the RTH session. This micro-range can act as an early indication of opening sentiment and potential breakout direction.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW TO USE THIS INDICATOR
SUPPORT & RESISTANCE
All plotted levels serve as potential support and resistance zones. Watch for price reactions, rejections, or breakouts at these levels to inform your trading decisions.
MARKET CONTEXT
• Trading above prior session levels = bullish context
• Trading below prior session levels = bearish context
• Trading within the overnight range = consolidation/balance
• Breaking out of overnight range = potential trend initiation
INITIAL BALANCE STRATEGY
• Price accepting above IB High = bullish bias for the session
• Price accepting below IB Low = bearish bias for the session
• Price remaining within IB = balanced/rotational day expected
CASH LEVELS
The Cash Open and Cash Close levels are particularly important because they represent where equity market participants (not just futures traders) began and ended their activity. Large institutions often reference these levels for portfolio rebalancing and hedging.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

Smart Money Decoded [GOLD]Title: Smart Money Decoded
Description:
Introduction
Smart Money Decoded is a comprehensive, institutional-grade visualization suite designed to simplify the complex world of Smart Money Concepts (SMC). While many indicators flood the chart with noise, this tool focuses on clarity, precision, and high-probability structure.
This script is built for traders who follow the "Inner Circle Trader" (ICT) methodologies but struggle to identify valid Zones, Displacement, and Liquidity Sweeps in real-time.
💎 Key Features & Logic
1. Refined Market Structure (BOS & CHoCH)
Instead of marking every minor pivot, this script uses a filtered Swing High/Low detection system.
HH/LL/LH/HL Labels: Only significant structure points are mapped.
BOS (Break of Structure): Marks trend continuations in the direction of the bias.
CHoCH (Change of Character): Marks potential trend reversals.
2. Advanced Order Blocks (with "Strict Mode")
Not all down-candles before an up-move are Order Blocks. This script separates the weak from the strong.
Standard OBs: Visualized with standard transparency.
⚡ SWEEP OBs (High Probability): Order Blocks that explicitly swept liquidity (Stop Hunt) before the reversal are highlighted with a thicker border, brighter color, and a ⚡ symbol. These are your high-probability "Turtle Soup" entries.
Strict Mode Toggle: In the settings, you can choose to hide all weak OBs and only see the ones that swept liquidity.
3. Dynamic Breaker Blocks
A true ICT Breaker is a failed Order Block that trapped liquidity.
This script automatically detects when a valid OB is mitigated (broken through) and projects it forward as a Breaker Block.
This ensures you are trading off valid flipped zones (Support becomes Resistance, Resistance becomes Support).
4. Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Automatically detects Imbalances (Imbalance/Inefficiency).
Includes an ATR Filter to ignore tiny, insignificant gaps, keeping your chart clean.
Option to show the Consequent Encroachment (50% CE) level for precision entries.
5. Liquidity Zones (BSL / SSL)
Automatically plots Buy Side Liquidity (BSL) and Sell Side Liquidity (SSL) at key swing points.
Once price sweeps these levels, the zone is removed or marked as "Swept," helping you identify when the draw on liquidity has been met.
6. Institutional Data Panel
A dashboard in the top right corner displays:
Market Bias: Bullish/Bearish/Neutral based on structure.
Premium/Discount: Tells you if price is in the expensive (Premium) or cheap (Discount) part of the current dealing range.
Active Zones: Counts of current open arrays.
⚙️ How To Use This Indicator
Identify Bias: Look at the Structure Labels (HH/LL) and the Panel. Are we making Higher Highs?
Wait for the Trap: Look for a Liquidity Sweep (BSL/SSL taken) or a ⚡ Sweep OB.
Entry Confirmation: Watch for a return to a Fair Value Gap (FVG) or a retest of a Breaker Block (BRK).
Manage Risk: Use the visuals to place stops above/below invalidation points.
Customization:
Go to the settings to toggle "Strict Mode" for Order Blocks, change colors to match your theme, or adjust the lookback periods to fit your specific asset (Forex, Crypto, or Indices).

TJR Bogdan Pro (Cleaned)This indicator is designed to automate the "Bogdan" scalping strategy popularized by TJR Trades. It simplifies complex ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts into a visual, easy-to-read "Traffic Light" system.
Instead of guessing where the market is going, this tool helps you identify the specific narrative of Liquidity Sweeps (Turtle Soup) followed by a Change of Character (CHoCH).
It answers the three most important questions in trading:
1. Where do I look? (Key Levels)
2. When do I act? (Liquidity Grab + Structure Shift)
3. Where do I enter? (Fair Value Gap)
How to Trade This Indicator
This script is best used on the 5-Minute Timeframe. It automatically pulls Higher Timeframe (HTF) levels onto your chart so you don't have to draw them manually.
The 4-Step "Sniper" Sequence
1. The Battlefield (Wait for the Level)
* The script plots the Previous Daily High/Low (PDH/PDL) and 4H High/Low as dashed lines.
* Rule: Do not trade in the middle of nowhere. Wait for the price to touch a dashed line (The Magnet).
2. The Trap (Wait for the "X")
* Symbol: Green X (Bullish) or Red X (Bearish).
* What it means: This is a Liquidity Sweep (or "Grab"). The price poked through a key level to trap traders, but the candle closed back inside. This is your warning that a reversal might happen.
3. The U-Turn (Wait for the Triangle)
* Symbol: Blue ▲ (Bullish) or Orange ▼ (Bearish).
* What it means: This is a CHoCH (Change of Character). The price has broken the recent structure, confirming that the trend has flipped direction.
4. The Entry (Wait for the Box)
* Symbol: Blue Box (Buy Zone) or Orange Box (Sell Zone).
* What it means: This is a Fair Value Gap (FVG).
* Action: Don't chase the price! Wait for the candle to dip back into the Colored Box. Place your entry there with a Stop Loss below the recent low.

90M Time Cycle SMTOverview
This indicator identifies Smart Money Time (SMT) divergences between correlated assets, specifically optimized for the 90-minute intraday cycle. It automates the process of comparing price action between a primary asset (e.g., NQ) and a correlated asset (e.g., ES) to highlight moments where price symmetry breaks—often a precursor to a reversal or a liquidity run.
The 90-Minute Logic
Unlike standard indicators that use rolling timeframes, this script anchors its calculations to a fixed daily grid.
Session Start: The cycle calculation begins strictly at 02:30 New York time .
Session End: The cycles continue in 90-minute increments until the market close at 16:00 New York time .
The indicator analyzes price action within these specific 90-minute windows. If the primary asset makes a new high/low within the window, but the correlated asset fails to do so, an SMT divergence is flagged.
Key Features
Automated Asset Detection: The script automatically detects the asset you are trading and selects the most liquid correlated pair for comparison.
Smart Cleanup: To prevent chart clutter during volatile sessions, the script includes an intelligent cleanup system that limits overlapping lines, ensuring only the most relevant signals are shown.
Divergence Visualization: Automatically plots visual connectors (Green for Bullish, Red for Bearish) when a divergence is detected, removing the need to manually check two charts at once.
Settings Overview
Auto-Detect Correlated Asset: Enable this for automatic pairing (recommended).
SMT Direction: Choose to see Bullish, Bearish, or Both signals.
Cleanup SMT: Adjust the sensitivity of the line removal logic.
90M Cycle Visuals: Customize the color and width of the SMT lines.
Why is this script Protected?
This script is published as protected to safeguard the proprietary logic used to detect SMT divergences. The algorithm employs a unique method for comparing price action between correlated assets to identify valid divergences, and this specific calculation method is kept closed-source to preserve its originality.
ArithmaReg Candles [NeuraAlgo]ArithmaReg Candles
ArimaReg Candles provide a quantitative approach toward the visualization of price by rebuilding each candle using an adaptive regression model. This indicator eliminates much of the noise and micro-spikes and consolidates irregular volatility of raw OHLC data, which typically characterizes candles, into a much cleaner and more stable representation that better reflects the true directional intent of the market.
The algorithm applies a dynamic state-space filter to track the equilibrium price, truePrice, while suppressing high-frequency fluctuations. Noise in the price is extracted by comparing the raw close to the filtered state and removed from the candle body and wick structure through controlled adjustment logic. Finally, a volatility-based spread model rebuilds the candle's range to maintain realistic price geometry.
The direction of trends is given by comparing the truePrice against a smoothing baseline, permitting ArithmaReg Candles to underline the bullish and bearish phases with more clarity and much-reduced distortion. This yields a chart where transitions within trends, pullbacks, and momentum shifts are much easier to comprehend than their representation via traditional candles.
ArithmaReg Candles are designed for traders who require consistent, noise-filtered price structure-ideal for trend analysis, breakout validation, and precision entries. The indicator itself does not generate any signals; it only refines the visual environment so that your existing tools and decision models become more reliable.
How It Works
Micro-Price Extraction
A weighted micro-price is calculated to represent the bar's internal structure and reduce intrabar irregularities.
Adaptive Regression Filter
The state-based regression engine continuously updates price equilibrium, adjusting its confidence level. This gives the filter the ability to remain responsive during strong movements yet be stable during noisy periods.
Noise Removal & Candle Reconstruction
The difference between raw price and truePrice is considered noise. This noise is subtracted from OHLC values, and a volatility-scaled spread restores realistic wick and body proportions. What results is a candle that depicts true directional flow.
Trend Classification
A smoothed trend baseline is computed from the filtered price, and candle color is determined by whether the market is positioned above or below this equilibrium trend.
How to Use It
Identify True Trend Direction
Candles follow the cleaned price path so that you can differentiate valid trend shifts from temporary spikes or wick-driven traps.
Improve Existing Strategies
These candles will complement your existing indicators, be they Supertrend, moving averages, volume tools, or momentum oscillators, by giving you a more sound price basis.
Spot Clean Breakouts & Pullbacks
Reduced noise makes breakout structure, swing highs/lows, and retracements significantly clearer. This is particularly useful in fast markets like crypto and Forex.
Improve Entry & Exit Timing
By highlighting the underlying flow of price, ArithmaReg Candles help traders avoid false signals and pinpoint spots where the price momentum is actually changing.
Adaptable to All Timeframes & Assets
The filter is self-adjusting, so it performs consistently on scalping timeframes, intraday charts, swing setups, and all asset classes. Summary ArithmaReg Candles create a mathematically refined view of market structure by removing noise and reconstructing candles through adaptive regression. The result is a more refined, stable price representation that improves trend recognition and decision-making and enables professional-grade technical analysis.

"Forming" ≠ "Breakout"
❌ Ignoring volume
No volume = likely false breakout
Require 1.5x+ relative volume minimum
❌ Fighting the trend
Check EMA and VWAP status
Both should be ✓ for high probability
❌ Wide stops
Stop should be below pullback low
If stop is too wide, skip the trade
❌ Holding losers

Risk Management Rules
Position Sizing
Risk Amount = Account × Risk % (typically 1-2%)
Position Size = Risk Amount ÷ (Entry - Stop)
Example:
Account: $25,000
Risk: 1% = $250
Entry: $5.00
Stop: $4.70
Risk per share: $0.30
Position Size: $250 ÷ $0.30 = 833 shares

369 IPDA TimeOverview
This indicator combines market structure analysis (Swing Highs and Lows) with time-based numerology. It identifies and highlights pivot points where the bar's timestamp reduces to a Digital Root of 3, 6, or 9. This tool is designed for traders utilizing time-alignment strategies who want to visualize the relationship between price reversals and specific time signatures.
How It Works
The script calculates the "Digital Root" of a candle's timestamp. This is done by summing the digits of the time until a single digit remains (e.g., 10:12 becomes 1+0+1+2 = 4). If the resulting number is 3, 6, or 9, and the bar is confirmed as a Swing High or Swing Low, a label is plotted.
Key Features
Digital Root Calculation: Users can choose between three modes: "Full Time" (HHMM), "Minutes Only" (MM), or "Both". The "Both" mode checks both methods and triggers if either results in a 3, 6, or 9.
Swing Detection: Identifies Pivot Highs and Lows based on a user-defined Swing Length. Labels are only plotted if the pivot aligns with the specific time signature.
Chart Cleanup: To keep the chart clean, the "Max Recent Swings" setting allows you to limit the number of visible labels. For example, setting this to 3 will ensure only the last 3 confirmed swings are shown, automatically deleting older labels as new ones form.
Smart Labeling: Labels for Highs appear above the bar, and labels for Lows appear below. They can display the Digital Root number, the Time, or both.
Color Coding: In "Number" mode, labels are colored based on the root (3 is Green, 6 is Red, 9 is Blue). In "Alignment" mode, colors indicate which calculation method triggered the signal.
Real-Time Analysis: The indicator visualizes potential swings on the currently forming bar (live or in replay mode) to help anticipate setups before the candle closes.
Settings
Digital Root Mode: Determines how the time is processed (Full Time, Minutes Only, or Both).
Max Recent Swings: Sets the maximum number of historical labels to keep on the screen.
Swing Length: Determines the sensitivity of the pivot detection (bars to the left/right).
Color Mode: Toggles between coloring by Number (3/6/9) or by Alignment type.

Fixed Price LevelsOverview
This indicator automatically calculates and plots fixed horizontal dealing ranges based on "Power of 10" mathematics. Unlike dynamic ranges that move with every tick or rely on lagging averages, these levels are fixed to specific mathematical grids (10s, 100s, 1000s, etc.). This provides a clean, objective structure for analyzing price action, psychological levels, and market equilibrium without the noise of repainting levels.
How it Works
The indicator uses a mathematical floor function to "snap" the current price to the nearest grid bottom based on your selected multiplier. This creates a static box around price.
The core formula concept is:
Dealing Range Low = math.floor(price / multiplier) * multiplier
Dealing Range High = Dealing Range Low + multiplier
Equilibrium (EQ) = Dealing Range Low + (multiplier / 2)
Key Features
Power of 10 Multipliers: Select between 1, 10, 100, 1000, or 10000 to suit your asset class (e.g., 100 for Indices, 0.01 logic for Forex).
Adjacent Ranges: Automatically plots ranges above and below the current price action to see future targets or support levels immediately.
Overlap Prevention: Includes logic to prevent label clutter. When multiple ranges are active, it ensures that a "Range High" and the next "Range Low" do not overlap visually.
Quarter Levels: Option to display the 25% and 75% levels within the range for granular precision.
Visual Customization: Full control over line extensions (Left, Right, Both, None) and label placement.
Settings Overview
Range Multiplier: Select the base grid size.
Number of Adjacent Ranges: Determines how many grid boxes to draw above and below the current price.
Visual Settings: Customize colors, styles (Solid, Dashed, Dotted), and widths for Low, High, EQ, and Quarters.

X VFI (LB) w absorptiona variation of the On-Balance Volume (OBV) introduced by Markos Katsanos and further refined by LazyBear, is a robust volume-based momentum oscillator designed to measure the strength and direction of money flow. It utilizes advanced filtering mechanisms to enhance signal quality for active trading environments. This version has added an absorption feature.
Core Functionality and Enhancements
Filtered Volume Flow: The VFI is calculated using the Typical Price (HLC/3) and incorporates filters for Volatility (coef) and Excessive Volume (vcoef). This ensures the indicator responds only to price changes supported by sustained, relevant volume, filtering out market noise and anomalous spikes.
Zero-Line Bias: VFI values above zero indicate net accumulation (bullish flow), while values below zero indicate net distribution (bearish flow).
Signal Line Timing (vfima): The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the VFI acts as the Signal Line. Crossovers between the VFI (fast line) and the Signal Line are primary triggers for trade entries and exits.
Absorption/Distribution Signals
This customized version introduces unique features to visually isolate periods where underlying volume conviction contradicts immediate price action—the most powerful setups for reversals and strong continuations.
Absorption/Distribution Highlighting:
The histogram's color is dynamically changed to highlight hidden buying or selling pressure:
(Absorption Signal): Indicates strong positive VFI momentum occurring on a bearish (down) candle. This signals aggressive buying absorption of supply, where large traders are accumulating positions despite brief selling pressure, often preceding a sharp upward move.
(Distribution Signal): Indicates strong negative VFI momentum occurring on a bullish (up) candle. This signals aggressive selling distribution into demand, where large traders are offloading positions into brief rallies, often preceding a sharp downward move.
Volume-Filtered Conviction: The visual intensity (transparency) of the signal color is adjusted based on a Volume Filter (minVolFilter). Darker, solid colors denote high-conviction signals supported by above-average volume, while transparent colors indicate lower-conviction signals.
Histogram Magnification:
The magnification input allows users to visually increase the height of the histogram bars (e.g., 2x). This enhances the immediate visual recognition of momentum acceleration or deceleration.
ORB + Fair Value Gaps (FVG/iFVG) Suite with Daily 50% MidlineA complete smart-money–focused price-action toolkit combining the New York Open Range Breakout (ORB), ICT-style Fair Value Gaps, Inverted FVGs, and a dynamic Daily 50% Midline.

1. NY Session ORB (09:30–09:45 New York Time)
Automatically plots:
ORB High
ORB Low
Labels for ORB high/low
Optional 5-minute chart restriction
Lines extend forward for easy reference
Used to identify breakout conditions, liquidity sweeps, and directional bias into the morning session.
📌 2. ICT-Style Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)

Hardwaybets' Protected Highs / Protected Lows TradingProtected Highs & Lows – Multi-Condition Structural Marker
This indicator identifies specific candle formations where price breaks a previous candle’s high or low, fails to maintain that break, and confirms the rejection with an additional condition involving prior candles. These marked locations offer a visual reference for areas where price attempted directional expansion but did not sustain it. All levels remain visible until later invalidated by price movement.
Protected High – Detection Logic
A Protected High is marked only when all three of the following conditions occur:
1. Break of Previous High
The current candle trades above the prior candle’s high.
2. Close Back Inside Range
The current candle closes within the high-to-low range of the previous candle, indicating the upward expansion was not sustained.
3. Reversal Through Prior Bullish Structure
After forming the high, price closes below the opening price of one or more bullish candles that were part of the upward movement into that high.
This reflects a shift away from the prior upward structure.
When all three conditions are met, the high of the candle that created the event is marked on the chart.
Protected Low – Detection Logic
A Protected Low is marked only when all three of the following conditions occur:
1. Break of Previous Low
The current candle trades below the prior candle’s low.
2. Close Back Inside Range
The current candle closes within the high-to-low range of the previous candle, indicating the downward expansion was not sustained.
3. Reversal Through Prior Bearish Structure
After forming the low, price closes above the opening price of one or more bearish candles that were part of the downward movement into that low.
This reflects a shift away from the prior downward structure.
When all three conditions are met, the low of the candle that created the event is marked on the chart.
Level Management
* Marked highs and lows remain active as long as price does not trade beyond them.
* If price moves past a marked level, that level is removed.
* Only active, unviolated structural reference points remain displayed.
Market Structure Context (Strictly Non-Signaling)
Protected highs and lows can help traders observe areas where:
* Price briefly exceeded a previous high or low
* That expansion was not maintained
* Price then moved back through recent candles associated with the prior direction
These observations can be used by traders to understand how price interacts with nearby structural reference points.
The indicator itself does not provide trade entries, exits, or directional guidance.
Customization Options
The indicator provides adjustable settings for:
* Marker style (labels or shapes)
* Shape type (circle, square, diamond, etc.)
* Colors for highs and lows
* Vertical spacing between markers and candles
These options help maintain clarity on different chart types and timeframes.
Intended Use
The indicator does not generate forecasts or trading signals.
Its purpose is to visually highlight multi-condition candle formations where price briefly exceeded a prior high or low, failed to sustain that expansion, and later reversed through nearby structural points.
Compatibility
Suitable for all assets and timeframes.
