Box Theory StrategyHere is an explanation of the Box Theory trading strategy.
The Core Philosophy
This strategy is based on the idea that the market is a battle between buyers and sellers, and that these groups often defend the same price levels they used previously. Instead of trying to predict every move, this method focuses on trading only at the "extremes" where the probabilities are highest, while avoiding the middle of the chart where price action is random.
1. The Setup: Drawing the Box
To use this strategy, you must define the "playing field" for the day before you take any trades.
Top of the Box: Draw a line at the Previous Day’s High.
Bottom of the Box: Draw a line at the Previous Day’s Low.
Center Line: Draw a line roughly in the middle of these two points.
This box represents the established range where the market recently found value.
2. The Three Zones & Rules
Once the box is drawn, the chart is divided into three zones. Each zone dictates a specific action.
Zone 1: The Top (Resistance / Sell Zone)
What it represents: This is where sellers previously stepped in and pushed the price down. It is a known area of supply.
The Rule: NO BUYING.
If the price rallies to this level, you should look for Short/Sell opportunities.
Why? Buying here means purchasing at a price that was previously rejected. The probability of a reversal (price going down) is high.
Zone 2: The Bottom (Support / Buy Zone)
What it represents: This is where buyers previously stepped in and pushed the price up. It is a known area of demand.
The Rule: NO SELLING.
If the price drops to this level, you should look for Long/Buy opportunities.
Why? Selling here means shorting into support. The probability of a bounce (price going up) is high.
Zone 3: The Middle (Indecision Zone)
What it represents: This is the area of noise and confusion. Neither buyers nor sellers have clear control here.
The Rule: DO NOT TRADE.
Why? In the middle of the range, the odds of the price going up or down are roughly 50/50. Trading here is considered gambling because you do not have a statistical edge.
3. Execution: How to Trade
The Entry
Short Setup: Wait for the price to touch or slightly pierce the Top of the Box. Enter a short position when you see the price failing to break out (e.g., leaving a wick and closing back inside the box).
Long Setup: Wait for the price to touch or slightly pierce the Bottom of the Box. Enter a long position when you see the price failing to break down (e.g., bouncing off the level).
Stop Loss (Risk Management)
This strategy offers a very clear invalidation point.
For Shorts: Place your Stop Loss just above the box.
For Longs: Place your Stop Loss just below the box.
Logic: If the price clearly breaks out of the box, the range is broken, and you want to exit the trade immediately with a small loss.
Take Profit (Targets)
First Target: The Center Line. This is a safe place to take some profit or move your stop loss to breakeven.
Main Target: The opposite side of the box (e.g., if you sold at the top, target the bottom).
4. Handling Gaps (The "Cheater Box")
If the market opens significantly higher or lower than the previous day's range (a large gap), the original box may be too far away to be useful.
Adjustment: In this scenario, you can draw a new box using the highest and lowest price points of the current trading session so far.
Once this new range is established, apply the same rules: Sell the high, Buy the low, and avoid the middle.

Key Levels: Volume Profile POCProfessional Intraday Key Levels (CST)
This is a comprehensive, institutional-grade Pine Script indicator designed for intraday traders (Futures, Stocks, Options) operating in the Central Time Zone. It automatically plots the most significant support and resistance levels used by algorithms and professional desks.
1. Core Levels Monitored
Daily Levels: Previous Day High (PDH), Low (PDL), Open, Close, and the 50% Midpoint (Equilibrium).
Volume Profile POC: Unlike standard indicators that use a simple average, this calculates the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of the previous day to determine the true "Fair Value" or Point of Control. Plotted with a thicker, distinct purple line.
Weekly Magnets: Previous Week High (PWH) and Low (PWL), which often act as major targets for breakouts or reversals.
Pre-Market Data: Tracks the High and Low established between 03:00 AM – 08:30 AM CST.
Opening Range (OR): Automatically captures the High and Low of the first 60 minutes of the regular session (08:30 AM – 09:30 AM CST).
2. Smart Visualization Features
Anti-Overlap Labels: If two levels (e.g., Pre-Market High and Previous Day High) are within 0.02% of each other, the script automatically merges them into a single label (e.g., "PDH & Pre-Market High") to prevent chart clutter.
Source Tracing: Trace lines extend backward from the current price level to the exact candle where that High or Low was formed (for Pre-Market and Opening Range levels), giving you instant context on when the level was created.
Clean Readability: Labels are displayed in bold, solid text without price numbers, ensuring a clean chart that focuses on level identification rather than data overload.
3. Technical Precision
Time Zone Locked: Hardcoded to America/Chicago to ensure Pre-Market and Opening Range calculations remain accurate regardless of your local computer settings.
Non-Repainting: Daily and Weekly levels are locked using closed-candle data (lookahead_on), ensuring lines do not shift during the trading day.
Buffer Safe: Optimized drawing logic prevents historical buffer errors, even on lower timeframes (1m/5m).
4. Customization
Toggle Everything: Every single level has an individual "Show/Hide" checkbox in the settings.
Label Sizing: Adjustable text size (Tiny to Huge) and offset positioning.
Compact Mode: Option to switch between full names ("Previous Day High") and abbreviations ("PDH").

My RSI Fib Range Cloud//SOLO900q99This is basically the close price, optionally “stepped” if you set Bars Per Sample > 1.
2. Central Threshold Band (colored line)
• This is an EMA of the resampled price (default length 34).
• It turns:
• Green when RSI is in bullish fib zones,
• Pink when RSI is in bearish fib zones,
• Grey when RSI is in the middle/neutral area.
3. Sigma Range High (green line) and Sigma Range Low (pink line)
• These are an upper and lower band around price.

GARCH Adaptive Volatility & Momentum Predictor
💡 I. Indicator Concept: GARCH Adaptive Volatility & Momentum Predictor
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The GARCH Adaptive Momentum Speed indicator provides a powerful, forward-looking
view on market risk and momentum. Unlike standard moving averages or static
volatility indicators (like ATR), GARCH forecasts the Conditional Volatility (σ_t)
for the next bar, based on the principle of volatility clustering.
The indicator consists of two essential components:
1. GARCH Volatility (Level): The primary forecast of the expected magnitude of
price movement (risk).
2. Vol. Speed (Momentum): The first derivative of the GARCH forecast, showing
whether market risk is accelerating or decelerating. This component is the
main visual signal, displayed as a dynamic histogram.
⚙️ II. Key Features and Adaptive Logic
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Dynamic Coefficient Adaptation: The indicator automatically adjusts the GARCH
coefficients (α and β) based on the chart's timeframe (TF):
- Intraday TFs (M1-H4): Uses higher α and lower β for quicker reaction
to recent shocks.
- Daily/Weekly TFs (D, W): Uses lower α and higher β for a smoother,
more persistent long-term forecast.
* Momentum Visualization: The Vol. Speed component is plotted as a dynamic
histogram (fill) that automatically changes color based on the direction of
acceleration (Green for up, Red for down).
📊 III. Interpretation Guide
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- GARCH Volatility (Blue Line): The predicted level of market risk. Use this to
gauge overall position sizing and stop loss width.
- Vol. Speed (Green Histogram): Momentum is ACCELERATING (Risk is increasing rapidly).
A strong signal that momentum is building, often preceding a breakout.
- Vol. Speed (Red Histogram): Momentum is DECELERATING (Risk is contracting).
Indicates momentum is fading, often associated with market consolidation.
🎯 IV. Trading Application
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Breakout Timing: Look for a strong, high GREEN histogram bar. This suggests
the volatility pressure is increasing rapidly, and a breakout may be imminent.
- Consolidation: Small, shrinking RED histogram bars signal that market energy
is draining, ideal for tight consolidation patterns.
Selected Days Indicator V3-TrDoes the stock drop every Wednesday? Do March months always move similarly? Does the 1st week of the month behave differently?
Do you ever say "it always makes this move in these months"? Don't you want to see more clearly whether it actually makes this move or not? Don't you want to see and test periodically repeating price patterns?
Hisse her Çarşamba düşüyor mu? Mart ayları hep benzer mi hareket ediyor? Ayın 1. haftası farklı mı davranıyor?
Bazen "bu aylarda hep bu hareketi yapıyor" dediğiniz oluyor mu? Gerçekten de bu hareketi yapıp yapmadığını daha net görmek istemez misiniz? Periyodik tekrarlayan fiyat kalıplarını görmek ve test etmek istemiyor musunuz?
1. Problem
Some stocks or crypto assets exhibit systematic behaviors on certain days, weeks, or months. But it's hard to see - everything is mixed together on the chart. This indicator isolates the days/weeks/months you want and shows only them. Hides everything else.
2. How It Works
Three-layer filter: Day (Monday, Tuesday...), Week (1st, 2nd, 3rd week of the month), Month (January, February...). Select what you want, let the rest disappear. Example: Show only Thursdays of March-June-September. Or compare every 1st week of the month. View as candlestick, line, or column chart.
3. What's It Good For?
Test "end-of-month effect". Find "day-of-the-week anomaly". Analyze crypto volatility by days. See seasonality in commodities. Discover patterns specific to your own strategy. Past data doesn't guarantee the future but provides statistical advantage.

GOLD 5m PA ScalperXAUUSD 5-Minute Price Action Scalper with HTF Confirmation
This Pine Script is a trend-following scalping strategy designed specifically for XAUUSD (Gold) on the 1,3,5-minute timeframe.
Its main goal is to reduce noise and false signals by combining lower-timeframe price action with higher-timeframe (15-minute) structure.
CORE IDEA
Trade only in the direction of the dominant trend and only when price reacts from a strong higher-timeframe Order Block.
Rainbow MA Cloud█ OVERVIEW
Rainbow MA Cloud displays 8 Moving Averages as a gradient-colored cloud to visualize trend direction and strength. The "rainbow" effect shows momentum through ribbon width, while perfect MA alignment signals strong trending conditions.
█ CONCEPTS
The indicator uses 8 MAs with Fibonacci-based default lengths (8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233) to create a layered view of price momentum across multiple timeframes.
Perfect Alignment Detection:
• Bullish Alignment — All 8 MAs in ascending order (MA1 > MA2 > ... > MA8)
Indicates strong uptrend with momentum across all timeframes
• Bearish Alignment — All 8 MAs in descending order (MA1 < MA2 < ... < MA8)
Indicates strong downtrend with aligned selling pressure
• Mixed — MAs are not in sequential order, suggesting consolidation or transition
Ribbon Width:
• Widening ribbon = Trend acceleration, increasing momentum
• Narrowing ribbon = Trend weakening, potential reversal or consolidation
█ FEATURES
1 — MA Configuration
Choose from EMA, SMA, WMA, VWMA, or HMA calculation methods.
All 8 MA lengths are fully customizable.
2 — Color Themes
Five built-in themes: Rainbow, Warm, Cool, Neon, Mono.
Creates visually distinct gradient from fast to slow MAs.
3 — Alignment Background
Green background during bullish alignment.
Red background during bearish alignment.
Helps quickly identify strong trending periods.
4 — Trend Signals
Labels appear when perfect alignment forms.
"BULL ALIGN" for bullish, "BEAR ALIGN" for bearish.
5 — Information Panel
Real-time display of alignment status, trend strength percentage,
ribbon width, price position relative to cloud, and MA values.
█ HOW TO USE
Entry Signals:
• Look for alignment signals (BULL/BEAR ALIGN) as trend confirmation
• Enter long when bullish alignment forms with price above cloud
• Enter short when bearish alignment forms with price below cloud
Trend Following:
• Stay in position while alignment background color persists
• Widening ribbon confirms trend continuation
• Exit or reduce when alignment breaks (background disappears)
Support/Resistance:
• Cloud edges act as dynamic support (bullish) or resistance (bearish)
• Price entering cloud suggests consolidation or potential reversal
█ LIMITATIONS
• Alignment signals are lagging by nature (based on MA crossovers)
• Works best on trending markets; generates mixed signals during ranging periods
• Ribbon width measurement uses outer MAs only (MA1 vs MA8)
█ COMPANION INDICATOR
Use "Rainbow MA Width" indicator for detailed Z-Score analysis of ribbon expansion/contraction patterns.
Pivot Points High LowGaneshA Pivot Points High/Low indicator that:
Detects swing highs (ta.pivothigh) and swing lows (ta.pivotlow) using configurable left/right bar lengths.
Draws labels at the confirmed pivot points:
Down labels at pivot highs (potential resistance).
Up labels at pivot lows (potential support).
Lets you customize text color and label fill color separately for highs and lows.
It’s designed for overlay (on-price chart), with max_labels_count=500 to allow many labels.

BTC - ALSI: Altcoin Season Index (Dynamic Eras)Title: BTC - ALSI: Altcoin Season Index (Dynamic Eras)
Overview & Philosophy
The Altcoin Season Index (ALSI) is a quantitative tool designed to answer the most critical question in crypto capital rotation: "Is it time to hold Bitcoin, or is it time to take risks on Altcoins?"
Most "Altseason" indicators suffer from Survivor Bias or Obsolescence. They either track a static list of coins that includes "dead" assets from previous cycles (ghosts of 2017), or they break completely when major tokens collapse (like LUNA or FTT).
This indicator solves this by using a Time-Varying Basket. The indicator automatically adjusts its reference list of Top 20 coins based on historical eras. This ensures the index tracks the winners of the moment—capturing the DeFi summer of 2020, the NFT craze of 2021, and the AI/Meme narratives of 2024/2025.
Methodology
The indicator calculates the percentage of the Top 20 Altcoins that are outperforming Bitcoin over a rolling window (Default: 90 Days).
The "Win" Count: For every major Altcoin performing better than BTC, the index adds a point.
Dynamic Eras: The basket of coins changes depending on the date:
2020 Era (DeFi Summer): Tracks the "Blue Chips" of the DeFi revolution like UNI, LINK, DOT, and early movers like VET and FIL.
2021 Era (Layer 1 Wars): Tracks the explosion of alternative smart contract platforms, adding winners like SOL, AVAX, MATIC, and ALGO.
2022 Era (The Survivors): Filters for resilience during the Bear Market, solidifying the status of established assets like SHIB and ATOM.
2023 Era (Infrastructure & Scale): Captures the rise of "Next-Gen" tech leading into the pre-halving year, introducing TON, APT (Aptos), and ARB (Arbitrum).
2024/25 Era (AI & Speed): Tracks the current Super-Cycle leaders, focusing on the AI narrative (TAO, RNDR), High-Performance L1s (SUI), and modern Memes (PEPE).
Chart Analysis & Strategy ( The "Alpha" )
As seen in the chart above, there is a strong correlation between ALSI Peaks and local tops in TOTAL3 (The Crypto Market Cap excluding BTC & ETH).
The Entry (Rotation): When the indicator rises above the neutral 50 line, it signals that capital is beginning to rotate out of Bitcoin and into Altcoins. This has historically been a strong confirmation signal to increase exposure to high-beta assets.
The Exit (Saturation): When the indicator hits 100 (or sustains in the Red Zone > 75), it means every single Altcoin is beating Bitcoin. Historically, this extreme exuberance often marks a local top in the TOTAL3 chart. This is the zone where smart money typically sells into strength, rather than opening new positions.
How to Read the Visuals
🚀 Altcoin Season (Red Zone > 75): Strong Altcoin dominance. The market is "Risk On."
🛡️ Bitcoin Season (Blue Zone < 25): Bitcoin dominance. Alts are bleeding against BTC. Historically, this is a defensive zone to hold BTC or Stablecoins.
Data Dashboard: A status table in the bottom-right corner displays the live Index Value, current Regime, and a System Check to ensure all 20 data feeds are active.
Settings
Lookback Period: Default 90 Days. Lowering this (e.g., to 30) makes the index faster but noisier.
Thresholds: Adjustable zones for Altcoin Season (Default: 75) and Bitcoin Season (Default: 25).
Credits & Attribution
This open-source indicator is built on the shoulders of giants. I acknowledge the original creators of the concept and the pioneers of its implementation on TradingView:
Original Concept: BlockchainCenter.net. - They established the industry standard definition: 75% of the Top 50 coins outperforming Bitcoin over 90 days = Altseason..
TradingView Implementation: Adam_Nguyen - He implemented the "Dynamic Era" logic (updating the coin list annually) on TradingView. Our code structure for the time-based switching is inspired by his methodology. See also his implementation in the chart. ( Altcoin Season Index - Adam) .
Comparison: Why use ALSI | RM?
While inspired by the above, ALSI introduces three key improvements:
Open Source: Unlike other popular TradingView versions (which are closed-source), this script is fully transparent. You can see exactly which coins are triggering the signal.
Sanitized History (Anti-Fragile): Historical Top 20 snapshots are not blindly used. "Dead" coins (like LUNA and FTT) from previous eras are manually filtered out. A raw index would crash during the Terra/FTX collapses, giving a false "Bitcoin Season" signal purely due to bad actors. The curated list preserves the integrity of the market structure signal.
Narrative Relevance: The 2024/25 basket was updated to include TAO (Bittensor) and RNDR, ensuring the index captures the dominant AI narrative, rather than tracking fading assets from the previous cycle.
You can compare the ALSI indicator with other available tradingview indicators in the chart: Different indicators for the same idea are shown in the 3 Pane window below the BTC and Total3 chart, whereas ALSI is the top pane indicator.
Important Note on Coin Selection Baskets are highly curated: Dead/irrelevant coins (FTT, LUNA, BSV) are excluded for clean signals. This prevents historical breaks and ensures Era T5 captures current narratives (AI, Memes) via TAO/RNDR. See above. Users are free to adjust the source code to test their own baskets.
Disclaimer
This script is for research and educational purposes only. Past correlations between ALSI and TOTAL3 do not guarantee future results. Market regimes can change, and "Altseasons" can be cut short by macro events.

DZDZ – Pivot Demand Zones + Trend Filter + Breadth Override + SL is a structured accumulation indicator built to identify high-probability demand areas after valid pullbacks.
The script creates **Demand Zones (DZ)** by pairing **pivot troughs (local lows)** with later **pivot peaks (local highs)**, requiring a minimum **ATR (Average True Range)** gap to confirm real price displacement. Zones are drawn only when market structure confirms strength through a **trend filter** (a required number of higher highs over a recent window) or a **breadth override**, which activates after unusually large expansion candles measured as a percentage move from the prior close.
In addition to pivots, the script detects **coiling price action**—tight trading ranges contained within an ATR band—and treats these as alternative demand bases.
Entries require price to penetrate a defined depth into the zone, preventing shallow reactions. After the first valid entry, a **DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging)** system adds buys every 10 bars while trend or breadth conditions persist. A **ratcheting SL (Stop-Loss)** tightens upward only, using demand structure or ATR when zones are unavailable.
The focus is disciplined, volatility-aware accumulation aligned with structure.

Day Trading MA Crossover IndicatorDay Trading MA Crossover Indicator Overview The Day Trading MA Crossover Indicator is a simple yet effective tool designed for day traders to identify potential buy and sell opportunities based on moving average crossovers. It plots two customizable moving averages on your chart and generates clear visual signals when they cross, helping you spot trend reversals or continuations in fast-paced markets.This indicator is ideal for intraday trading on lower timeframes (e.g., 5-min, 15-min charts) but can be adapted for swing trading or higher timeframes. It's built with flexibility in mind, allowing you to tweak the MA lengths and types to suit your strategy.Key FeaturesMoving Average Crossovers: Generates "BUY" signals when the fast MA crosses above the slow MA (potential bullish entry) and "SELL" signals when it crosses below (potential bearish entry or exit).
Visual Signals: Green "BUY" labels below bars for long entries and red "SELL" labels above bars for short entries or exits. Optional subtle background coloring highlights signals for quick spotting.
Customizable Parameters:Fast MA Length (default: 9): Period for the shorter moving average.
Slow MA Length (default: 21): Period for the longer moving average.
MA Type (default: EMA): Choose between SMA (Simple), EMA (Exponential), or WMA (Weighted) for different smoothing behaviors.
Overlay Mode: Plots directly on your price chart without cluttering separate panes.
Lightweight and Efficient: Minimal computation for real-time performance on TradingView.
How It WorksMoving Averages Calculation: The indicator computes two MAs based on your selected type and lengths using closing prices.
Signal Detection: A buy signal triggers on an upward crossover (fast MA > slow MA), indicating potential momentum shift to the upside. A sell signal triggers on a downward crossunder (fast MA < slow MA), signaling possible downside momentum.
Visual Aids: Signals appear as labeled shapes with optional background tints to emphasize key bars.
Usage TipsFor Day Trading: Apply on volatile instruments like forex pairs, stocks, or crypto. Combine with support/resistance levels or other indicators (e.g., RSI for overbought/oversold confirmation) to filter false signals in ranging markets.
Backtesting: Test on historical data to optimize MA lengths for your asset—shorter periods for aggressive trading, longer for smoother trends.
Risk Management: Always use stop-losses and position sizing. Signals are not foolproof and work best in trending conditions.
Customization: Adjust inputs via the indicator settings panel after adding it to your chart.
Example SetupOn a 5-min EUR/USD chart: Use EMA (9/21) for quick crossovers. Look for buy signals above key support with increasing volume.
Avoid choppy markets where frequent false crossovers ("whipsaws") can occur.

TRV & nTRV - Trimmed Range VolatilityGrid bots require stable volatility measurement - ATR becomes misleading when gaps and sudden spikes distort the average. TRV (Trimmed Range Volatility) is an advanced version of ATR: it filters outliers at the extremes (highest and lowest ranges) and remains unaffected by gaps. This provides real-time, accurate volatility measurement for grid bot setup.Grid bots require stable volatility measurement - ATR becomes misleading when gaps and sudden spikes distort the average. TRV (Trimmed Range Volatility) is an advanced version of ATR: it filters outliers at the extremes (highest and lowest ranges) and remains unaffected by gaps. This provides real-time, accurate volatility measurement for grid bot setup.
Why We Developed TRV?
When a gap or sudden spike occurs in the morning, this extreme movement affects standard ATR calculations for an extended period. Even if the price moves sideways for the rest of the day, ATR remains elevated. This causes grid bots to operate with unnecessarily wide spacing and execute fewer trades.
TRV Advantages:
✅ Unaffected by Gaps: Opening gaps don't distort the calculation
✅ Extreme Point Elimination: Filters the largest and smallest outlier candles
✅ Real-Time Accuracy: Shows current market volatility
✅ Grid Bot Optimization: Enables tighter and more efficient grid spacing
✅ Comparison Capability: Compare different stocks and timeframes with nTRV
Grid Bot Usage:
The TRV value is used directly to calculate the number of grid lines:
(Resistance - Support) / TRV = Number of Grid Lines
Example:
Resistance: $110
Support: $90
TRV: $2
Grid Count: (110-90)/2 = 10 grid lines
Features:
Two Filtering Modes: Manual (enter number) or Percentage-Based (automatic ratio)
Four Indicators in One: nTRV, TRV, ATR, and nATR all displayed on the same panel
nTRV: Normalized value (percentage-based, for stock comparison)
TRV: Absolute value (currency-based, for grid calculation)
ATR & nATR Included: Standard ATR and nATR for direct comparison with TRV
Comprehensive Analysis: Compare filtered (TRV) vs unfiltered (ATR) volatility side-by-side
Default: 10% top, 10% bottom outlier elimination
Conclusion:
TRV is an advanced version of ATR specifically designed for grid bot traders. By filtering outlier movements, it provides more stable and reliable volatility measurement. The indicator includes both TRV (filtered) and ATR (unfiltered) on the same chart, giving traders a comprehensive view to make informed decisions. This dual-display approach enables more efficient grid strategies and increased trading frequency.
