Wavelet Candlestick Slope Follower-Master Edition Here is a short description of this script:
This is a **Trend Following strategy** that utilizes advanced mathematics—the **Wavelet Transform**—to filter out market noise.
**Key Features:**
1. **Synthetic Candles:** The script does not analyze raw prices. Instead, it constructs "Wavelet Candles"—smoothed candles created through mathematical convolution of prices with a specific wavelet "kernel" (e.g., Mexican Hat, Morlet, Haar).
2. **Auto-Correction (Normalization):** This is the most critical technical feature of this code. The script automatically normalizes the weights. This ensures that even when using complex mathematical shapes (like the Mexican Hat), the output price remains accurate to the real chart scale and is not distorted.
3. **Strategy Logic:** The logic is very straightforward—the system enters a **Long** position when the smoothed closing price (`w_close`) is rising, and closes the position when it starts to fall.
4. **Visualization:** It draws new, cleaner candles (green/red) on the chart, revealing the "true" trend structure after filtering out temporary fluctuations.

Daily Dynamic Grid StrategyHi everyone,
This strategy is built around a dynamic daily grid concept, using an upper and lower daily range that is automatically divided into multiple grid levels.
The idea is to take advantage of daily volatility by executing DCA entries on specific grid levels, based on predefined conditions.
Key points of the strategy & feature:
I recommend using 1H or 2H timeframe for this strategy
Take profit by grid
When DCA is active (>1 entry), the exit condition switches to close above the average price
A hard stop loss is applied
Includes an optional Trailing TP / SL to help maximize profit during strong moves
Like most DCA-based strategies, it tends to have a high win rate, but during strong market dumps, losses can become relatively large
Can also be used for backtest on Forex markets such as Gold, where using the trailing option is generally more effective
And still trial for the webhook, may continue to improve and update this strategy in future versions.

CT Market Fragility & Systemic Risk Monitor v1.0CT ⊕ Market Fragility & Systemic Risk Monitor v1.0
Systemic Stress & Market Regime Monitor
OVERVIEW
Wall Street-grade structural monitoring now open-source.
CT ⊕ Market Fragility & Systemic Risk Monitor v1.0 is a real-time systemic risk tool designed to detect fragility before it hits price. Built by former institutional traders, it delivers structural insight typically reserved for desks inside hedge funds and global macro desks.
This isn’t about finding entries or exits, it’s about understanding the environment you're trading in, and recognizing when it's shifting.
WHAT IT DOES
• Monitors six key market domains: Equities, Rates/Credit, FX (USD stress), Commodities, Crypto, and Macro
• Detects volatility stress, cross-domain coupling, and regime synchronization
• Classifies market structure into Normal → Fragile → Critical
• Shows a live dashboard with scores, coupling levels, and structural state
• Plots event markers (T1, T2, T3) for structural transitions
• Implements hysteresis logic to model post-stress 'memory
• Supports both single-domain ("Local Mode") and system-wide monitoring
HOW IT WORKS
This engine does not rely on traditional TA. No moving averages. No MACD. No patterns. No guesswork.
Instead, it measures how markets are behaving beneath price detecting when stress is:
• Building internally
• Spreading across domains
• Synchronizing into systemic fragility
T1 (🟠) — Early instability: acceleration in market coupling
T2 (🔵) — Fragile regime: multiple domains simultaneously stressed
T3 (🔴) — Critical regime: synchronized, system-wide stress
These are not buy/sell signals. They are structural regime alerts, the same kind used by institutions to cut risk before stress cascades.
WHY IT MATTERS
Most retail tools are reactive. They interpret surface-level patterns after the move.
This tool is different. It’s proactive – measuring pressure before it breaks structure.
Institutions have used structural fragility models like this for years. This script helps close that gap, giving everyday traders the same early warnings that pros use to reduce exposure and sidestep systemic blowups.
It’s not about finding the edge.
It’s about not getting crushed when the system breaks.
Whether you trade crypto, stocks, FX, or macro, this engine helps answer:
• Is the system stable right now?
• Are stress levels rising across markets?
• Is it time to tighten risk?
Institutions don’t wait for breakouts. They monitor structure.
Now, you can too.
KEY FEATURES
• Works on any asset class and any timeframe
• Fully customizable domain selection
• Three-tier structural alert system (T1–T3)
• Real-time dashboard: stress scores, states, and coupling levels
• Hysteresis modeling: post-stress “memory” detection
• Supports single-domain (local) or multi-domain (systemic) monitoring
• PineScript alerts built-in
RECOMMENDED USE
Active traders - all asset classes
Use the dashboard and T1–T3 alerts to stay aware of structural risk in real time.
Track multi-timeframe alignment to detect where risk originates and how it spreads across markets.
Crypto trader s
Monitor upstream domains (Equities, FX, Rates, Macro) to detect pressure before it reaches crypto.
Identify reflexive stress before Bitcoin reacts — and stay ahead of contagion events.
Macro & systematic traders
Use T1–T3 transitions as volatility filters, exposure governors, or dynamic risk overlays.
Build regime-aware models that adapt to shifting systemic conditions.
Examples & Visuals
Question: Would it have helped to know that at 9:30 on October 9th and again at 10:00 on October 10th that critical states were detected in the structural behavior of Bitcoin? Take a look:
30 min chart BTC shows two distinct T3 (critical) regime detections October 9th and 10:30 October 10th
5m BTC chart reveals high frequency instability for the same period, identifying instability, fragility, criticality
The 30minute BTC chart at 16:30 Friday October 10th,, a few hours after first detecting critical systemic risk

Wavelet Candle Constructor (Inc. Morlet) 2Here is the detailed description of the **Wavelet Candle** construction principles based on the code provided.
This indicator is not a simple smoothing mechanism (like a Moving Average). It utilizes the **Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT)**, specifically the Stationary variant (SWT / à Trous Algorithm), to separate "noise" (high frequencies) from the "trend" (low frequencies).
Here is how it works step-by-step:
###1. The Wavelet Kernel (Coefficients)The heart of the algorithm lies in the coefficients (the `h` array in the `get_coeffs` function). Each wavelet type represents a different set of mathematical weights that define how price data is analyzed:
* **Haar:** The simplest wavelet. It acts like a simple average of neighboring candles. It reacts quickly but produces a "boxy" or "jagged" output.
* **Daubechies 4:** An asymmetric wavelet. It is better at detecting sudden trend changes and the fractal structure of the market, though it introduces a slight phase shift.
* **Symlet / Coiflet:** More symmetric than Daubechies. They attempt to minimize lag (phase shift) while maintaining smoothness.
* **Morlet (Gaussian):** Implemented in this code as a Gaussian approximation (bell curve). It provides the smoothest, most "organic" effect, ideal for filtering noise without jagged edges.
###2. The Convolution EngineInstead of a simple average, the code performs a mathematical operation called **convolution**:
For every candle on the chart, the algorithm takes past prices, multiplies them by the Wavelet Kernel weights, and sums them up. This acts as a **digital low-pass filter**—it allows the main price movements to pass through while cutting out the noise.
###3. The "à Trous" Algorithm (Stationary Wavelet Transform)This is the key difference between this indicator and standard data compression.
In a classic wavelet transform, every second data point is usually discarded (downsampling). Here, the **Stationary** approach is used:
* **Level 1:** Convolution every **1** candle.
* **Level 2:** Convolution every **2** candles (skipping one in between).
* **Level 3:** Convolution every **4** candles.
* **Level 4:** Convolution every **8** candles.
Because of this, **we do not lose time resolution**. The Wavelet Candle is drawn exactly where the original candle is, but it represents the trend structure from a broader perspective. The higher the `Decomposition Level`, the deeper the denoising (looking at a wider context).
###4. Independent OHLC ProcessingThe algorithm processes each component of the candle separately:
1. Filters the **Open** series.
2. Filters the **High** series.
3. Filters the **Low** series.
4. Filters the **Close** series.
This results in four smoothed curves: `w_open`, `w_high`, `w_low`, `w_close`.
###5. Geometric Reconstruction (Logic Repair)Since each price series is filtered independently, the mathematics can sometimes lead to physically impossible situations (e.g., the smoothed `Low` being higher than the smoothed `High`).
The code includes a repair section:
```pinescript
real_high = math.max(w_high, w_low)
real_high := math.max(real_high, math.max(w_open, w_close))
// Same logic for Low (math.min)
```
This guarantees that the final Wavelet Candle always has a valid construction: wicks encapsulate the body, and the `High` is strictly the highest point.
---
###Summary of ApplicationThis construction makes the Wavelet Candle an **excellent trend-following tool**.
* If the candle is **green**, it means that after filtering the noise (according to the selected wavelet), the market energy is bullish.
* If it is **red**, the energy is bearish.
* The wicks show volatility that exists within the bounds of the selected decomposition level.
Here is a descriptive comparison of **Wavelet Candles** against other popular chart types. As requested, this is a narrative explanation focusing on the differences in mechanics, interpretation philosophy, and the specific pros and cons of each approach.
---
###1. Wavelet Candles vs. Standard (Japanese) CandlesThis is a clash between "the raw truth" and "mathematical interpretation." Standard Japanese candles display raw market data—exactly what happened on the exchange. Wavelet Candles are a synthetic image created by a signal processor.
**Differences and Philosophy:**
A standard candle is full of emotion and noise. Every single price tick impacts its shape. The Wavelet Candle treats this noise as interference that must be removed to reveal the true energy of the trend. Wavelets decompose the price, reject high frequencies (noise), and reconstruct the candle using only low frequencies (the trend).
* **Wavelet Advantages:** The main advantage is clarity. Where a standard chart shows a series of confusing candles (e.g., a long green one, followed by a short red one, then a doji), the Wavelet Candle often draws a smooth, uniform wave in a single color. This makes it psychologically easier to hold a position and ignore temporary pullbacks.
* **Wavelet Disadvantages:** The biggest drawback is the loss of price precision. The Open, Close, High, and Low values on a Wavelet candle are calculated, not real. You **cannot** place Stop Loss orders or enter trades based on these levels, as the actual market price might be in a completely different place than the smoothed candle suggests. They also introduce lag, which depends on the chosen wavelet—whereas a standard candle reacts instantly.
###2. Wavelet Candles vs. Heikin AshiThese are close cousins, but they share very different "DNA." Both methods aim to smooth the trend, but they achieve it differently.
**Differences and Philosophy:**
Heikin Ashi (HA) is based on a simple recursive arithmetic average. The current HA candle depends on the previous one, making it react linearly.
The Wavelet Candle uses **convolution**. This means the shape of the current candle depends on a "window" (group) of past candles multiplied by weights (Gaussian curve, Daubechies, etc.). This results in a more "organic" and elastic reaction.
* **Wavelet Advantages:** Wavelets are highly customizable. With Heikin Ashi, you are stuck with one algorithm. With Wavelet Candles, you can change the kernel to "Haar" for a fast (boxy) reaction or "Morlet" for an ultra-smooth, wave-like effect. Wavelets handle the separation of market cycles better than simple HA averaging, which can generate many false color flips during consolidation.
* **Wavelet Disadvantages:** They are computationally much more complex and harder to understand intuitively ("Why is this candle red if the price is going up?"). In strong, vertical breakouts (pumps), Heikin Ashi often "chases" the price faster, whereas deep wavelet decomposition (High Level) may show more inertia and change color more slowly.
###3. Wavelet Candles vs. RenkoThis compares two different dimensions: Time vs. Price.
**Differences and Philosophy:**
Renko completely ignores time. A new brick is formed only when the price moves by a specific amount. If the market stands still for 5 hours, nothing happens on a Renko chart.
The Wavelet Candle is **time-synchronous**. If the market stands still for 5 hours, the Wavelet algorithm will draw a series of flat, small candles (the "wavelet decays").
* **Wavelet Advantages:** They preserve the context of time, which is crucial for traders who consider trading sessions (London/New York) or macroeconomic data releases. On a wavelet chart, you can see when volatility drops (candles become small), whereas Renko hides periods of stagnation, which can be misleading for options traders or intraday strategies.
* **Wavelet Disadvantages:** In sideways trends (chop), Wavelet Candles—despite the smoothing—will still draw a "snake" that flips colors (unless you set a very high decomposition level). Renko can remain perfectly clean and static during the same period, not drawing any new bricks, which for many traders is the ultimate filter against overtrading in a flat market.
###Summary**Wavelet Candles** are a tool for the analyst who wants to visualize the **structure of the wave and market cycle**, accepting some lag in exchange for noise reduction, but without giving up the time axis (like in Renko) or relying on simple averaging (like in Heikin Ashi). It serves best as a "roadmap" for the trend rather than a "sniper scope" for precise entries.
Hybrid Strategy: Trend/ORB/MTFHybrid Strategy: Trend + ORB + Multi-Timeframe Matrix
This script is a comprehensive "Trading Manager" designed to filter out noise and identify high-probability breakout setups. It combines three powerful concepts into a single, clean chart interface: Trend Alignment, Opening Range Breakout (ORB), and Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Analysis.
It is designed to prevent "analysis paralysis" by providing a unified Dashboard that confirms if the trend is aligned across 5 different timeframes before you take a trade.
How it Works
The strategy relies on the "Golden Trio" of confluence:
1. Trend Definition (The Setup) Before looking for entries, the script analyzes the immediate trend. A bullish trend is defined as:
Price is above the Session VWAP.
The fast EMA (9) is above the slow EMA (21). (The inverse applies for bearish trends).
2. The Signal (The Trigger) The script draws the Opening Range (default: first 15 minutes of the session).
Buy Signal: Price breaks above the Opening Range High while the Trend is Bullish.
Sell Signal: Price breaks below the Opening Range Low while the Trend is Bearish.
3. The Confirmation (The Filter) A signal is only valid if the Higher Timeframe (default: 60m) agrees with the direction. If the 1m chart says "Buy" but the 60m chart is bearish, the signal is filtered out to prevent false breakouts.
Key Features
The Matrix Dashboard A zero-lag, real-time table in the corner of your screen that monitors 5 user-defined timeframes (e.g., 5m, 15m, 30m, 60m, 4H).
Trend: Checks if Price > EMA 21.
VWAP: Checks if Price > VWAP.
ORB: Checks if Price is currently above/below the Opening Range of that session.
D H/L: Warns if price is near the Daily High or Low.
PD H/L: Warns if price is near the Previous Daily High or Low.
Visual Order Blocks The script automatically identifies valid Order Blocks (sequences of consecutive candles followed by a strong explosive move).
Chart: Draws Green/Red zones extending to the right, showing where price may react.
Dashboard: Displays the exact High, Low, and Average price of the most recent Order Blocks for precision planning.
Risk Management (Trailing Stop) Once a trade is active, the script plots Chandelier Exit dots (ATR-based trailing stop) to help you manage the trade and lock in profits during trend runs.

Displacement## Displacement Indicator (Institutional Momentum Filter)
This indicator highlights **true price displacement** — candles where price moves with **abnormal force relative to recent volatility**.
It is designed to help traders distinguish **real momentum** from normal market noise.
Displacement often precedes:
- Breaks of structure
- Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
- Strong continuation or meaningful pullbacks
This tool focuses on **confirmation**, not prediction.
---
### 🔍 How Displacement Is Defined
A candle is marked as *displacement* only when **all conditions are met**:
• Candle body is larger than a multiple of ATR (volatility-adjusted)
• Candle body makes up a high percentage of the full candle (strong close)
• Directional conviction (bullish or bearish close)
This filters out:
- Small or average candles
- Wick-heavy indecision
- Low-quality breakouts
---
### 🎯 What This Indicator Is Best Used For
✔ Confirming impulsive moves
✔ Validating structure breaks
✔ Anchoring Fair Value Gaps
✔ Filtering low-probability setups
✔ Identifying institutional participation
Works best on **M5, M15, and H1**, especially during **London and NY sessions**.
---
### ⚠️ Important Notes
• This is **not** a buy/sell signal by itself
• Best used with trend, structure, or liquidity context
• Not designed for ranging or low-volatility markets
Think of this indicator as a **momentum truth filter** —
if displacement is missing, conviction is likely missing too.
---
### ⚙️ Inputs Explained
• ATR Length – defines normal volatility
• ATR Multiplier – how aggressive displacement must be
• Minimum Body % – ensures strong candle closes
All inputs are adjustable to fit different markets and styles.
---
### 🧠 Philosophy
Displacement reflects **commitment**, not anticipation.
This tool helps you wait for **proof**, not hope.
---
If you want, I can:
- Tighten this for **ICT-style language**
- Rewrite for **beginner clarity**
- Add a **“How I personally use it”** section
- Optimize it for **TradingView algorithm visibility**
**Tell me which you want changed.**
SMI Trigger System The SMI Trigger System is a lower-pane momentum indicator based on a Hull-smoothed Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI). It is designed to assist in identifying potential momentum shifts by highlighting signal alignment and level interactions.
This indicator is intended to be used as part of a broader analysis framework. Confluence between trend, structure, and higher-timeframe context defines the setup, while SMI signal behavior may be used for confirmation.
The script can be applied across multiple timeframes and markets. It does not generate trade signals on its own and should be used alongside additional analysis and risk management techniques.

Renko with Multi-Timeframe RSI (Non-Repaint)This is a Renko-based Multi-Timeframe RSI indicator with Inverted Volatility Oscillator that combines three technical analysis concepts to provide trading signals without repainting issues.
Core Components
1. Renko Chart Foundation
Instead of using time-based candles, this indicator creates Renko bricks based on price movement:
Green brick = Price moved up by one brick size
Red brick = Price moved down by one brick size
Brick size = Either ATR-based (dynamic) or fixed value
Key advantage: Filters out market noise by ignoring time and small price fluctuations
Non-Repaint Feature: Only processes confirmed bars (barstate.isconfirmed), ensuring signals don't disappear or change after they appear.
2. Volume-Weighted RSI (Multiple Timeframes)
Three RSI calculations:
a) Renko RSI (Purple line)
Calculated directly from Renko brick close prices
Shows momentum based on actual brick formations
More stable than traditional RSI since it's based on significant price moves
b) 1-Hour RSI (Blue line)
Standard RSI from 1-hour timeframe
Provides medium-term momentum context
c) 4-Hour RSI (Orange line)
Standard RSI from 4-hour timeframe
Shows longer-term momentum trends
RSI Interpretation:
Above 70: Overbought (potential sell signal)
Below 30: Oversold (potential buy signal)
Above 50: Bullish momentum
Below 50: Bearish momentum
3. Inverted Volatility Oscillator (Yellow line)
Measures the opposite of price volatility in Renko brick closes:
What It Actually Is:
Simply calculates volatility (standard deviation of rate of change)
Normalizes it to 0-100 scale
Inverts it (100 minus volatility)
Result: When prices are volatile, the number is LOW. When prices are calm, the number is HIGH.
This is just repackaged volatility:
Above 80: Low volatility period (calm, stable prices)
50-80: Below-average volatility
20-50: Above-average volatility
Below 20: High volatility period (choppy, erratic prices)
The "Fear/Greed" Marketing: The assumption is that high volatility = panic/fear, and low volatility = complacency/greed. But this is just a narrative wrapper around basic volatility measurement. Markets can be:
Highly volatile during euphoric rallies (not fear)
Very calm during sustained downtrends (not greed)
The relationship between volatility and sentiment is assumed, not measured.
How It Works
Signal Generation
Buy Signals occur when:
Renko RSI < 30 (oversold) OR
1H RSI < 30 OR
4H RSI < 30 OR
Inverted Volatility < 20 (high volatility = "extreme fear")
Sell Signals occur when:
Renko RSI > 70 (overbought) OR
1H RSI > 70 OR
4H RSI > 70 OR
Inverted Volatility > 80 (low volatility = "extreme greed")
Exit Conditions:
Brick color changes (green→red or red→green)
Any RSI enters opposite extreme zone
Multiple confirmations increase signal reliability
What You're Actually Getting
Legitimately Useful:
Renko filtering: Real noise reduction
Multi-timeframe RSI: Valid momentum confirmation across timeframes
Non-repainting: Reliable signal timing
Marketing Fluff: The "Fear/Greed Index" is:
Just normalized, inverted volatility
Given emotional labels to sound sophisticated
Based on an assumption (volatility = fear) that's often wrong
No actual measurement of fear, greed, sentiment, or psychology
Adds no information you couldn't get from a standard volatility indicator
Reality Check
What the indicator claims: "Fear/Greed Index measures market psychology"
What it actually does: Calculates volatility of Renko closes, flips the scale, and slaps emotional labels on different levels
Better description: "Low Volatility Warning" (>80) and "High Volatility Warning" (<20)
The indicator works fine as a multi-timeframe RSI system with Renko smoothing. The volatility component can be useful for identifying regime changes. But calling it "Fear/Greed" is pure marketing - it's just repackaged volatility with psychology buzzwords.
Bottom Line
Use this for:
Renko trend following (genuinely useful)
Multi-timeframe momentum confirmation (valid approach)
Volatility regime detection (what the yellow line actually measures)
Don't use this thinking:
It reads market psychology (it doesn't)
It's measuring actual fear or greed (it isn't)
It's anything more than inverted volatility (it's not)

## How It Works
### Angle Calculation
The indicator calculates the angle between the current EMA value and the EMA value N bars ago:
```
Angle = arctan((EMA_now - EMA_then) / lookback) × 180° / π
```
### Auto-Threshold Calculation
When enabled, the indicator:
1. Analyzes historical angle data over the specified period
2. Calculates mean and standard deviation
3. Determines thresholds based on the 50% interquartile range (IQR):
- **Flat Threshold**: ±0.674σ (middle 50% of data)
- **Rising Trigger**: 75th percentile (mean + 0.674σ)
- **Falling Trigger**: 25th percentile (mean - 0.674σ)
### Regime Classification
- **FLAT**: Angle within ±Flat Threshold
- **RISING**: Angle ≥ Rising Trigger
- **FALLING**: Angle ≤ Falling Trigger
## Use Cases
### Trend Following
- Identify strong trends (high angle values)
- Spot trend reversals (regime changes)
- Filter trades based on trend strength
### Range Trading
- Detect flat/consolidation periods
- Avoid trading during choppy markets
- Enter when regime shifts from FLAT to RISING/FALLING
### Multi-Timeframe Analysis
- Apply to different timeframes for confirmation
- Use higher timeframe for trend direction
- Use lower timeframe for entry timing
## Tips for Best Results
1. **Enable Auto-Thresholds**: Let the indicator adapt to your instrument
2. **Adjust Analysis Period**: Use more bars for stable markets, fewer for volatile ones
3. **Combine with Price Action**: Use regime changes as confirmation, not standalone signals
4. **Multi-Timeframe**: Check higher timeframes for trend context
5. **Backtest First**: Test settings on historical data before live trading

ATR Locha – Volatility Regime Indicator
A market-condition tool to identify volatility compression and expansion
Description
ATR Locha is a volatility-regime indicator based on ATR expressed as a percentage of price (ATR%) . Instead of predicting price direction, it focuses on identifying market stress states —periods of unusually low volatility (compression) and unusually high volatility (panic or expansion).
Markets often remain calm for long periods and then move sharply when volatility expands. ATR Locha helps traders visually identify these conditions and prepare accordingly.
What the Indicator Shows
• ATR% line showing current volatility intensity
• Lower shaded zone representing volatility compression (ATR Locha zone)
• Upper shaded zone representing volatility expansion / panic
• Regime label displaying the current market state
Core Concept
Price trends often change only after volatility changes.
ATR Locha does not answer “Where will price go?”
It answers “Is risk quietly building or already exploding?”
How to Use ATR Locha
1. Compression Zone (ATR Locha Zone)
When ATR% enters the lower shaded region:
• Market volatility is suppressed
• Price ranges become narrow
• Risk of sudden expansion increases
Trading Insight
• Reduce leverage
• Avoid chasing late trends
• Prepare for breakouts or regime shifts
2. Expansion / Panic Zone
When ATR% enters the upper shaded region:
• Volatility is elevated
• Market is emotionally driven
• Large candles and gaps are common
Trading Insight
• Book partial profits
• Tighten stop losses
• Avoid aggressive fresh entries
3. Normal Regime
When ATR% stays between both zones:
• Market is balanced
• Trends or ranges behave normally
Trading Insight
• Follow your regular trading strategy
Best Use-Cases
• Index analysis (NIFTY, BANKNIFTY, global indices)
• Positional and swing trading
• Risk management and position sizing
• Market regime identification
Advantages (Pros)
• Clear identification of market regimes
• Objective and non-directional
• Acts as an early warning system
• Works well on daily and weekly charts
• Complements any price-based strategy
Limitations (Cons)
• Not a buy or sell signal
• Does not predict price direction
• Volatility compression can persist longer than expected
• Requires confirmation from price structure or volume
Common Mistakes to Avoid
• Using ATR Locha as a standalone trading system
• Expecting immediate breakouts from compression
• Ignoring price action and structure
• Over-leveraging during low volatility periods
Recommended Combinations
• ATR Locha + price structure analysis
• ATR Locha + trend indicators
• ATR Locha + options volatility (IV) analysis
• ATR Locha + support and resistance levels
Summary
ATR Locha is not a trading strategy.
It is a volatility and risk-condition detector .
It helps traders understand whether the market is:
• Calm
• Balanced
• Or under stress
Used correctly, ATR Locha improves discipline, risk awareness, and timing quality.
Disclaimer
ATR Locha is intended for educational and analytical purposes only. It does not constitute investment advice, trading recommendations, or a guarantee of future performance. Market conditions can change rapidly, and volatility regimes may persist longer than anticipated. Users should apply independent judgment, proper risk management, and additional confirmation before making any trading decisions.
Credit Spreads Swing TradingCredit Spreads Swing Trading
Summary
Credit Spreads Swing Trading is a decision-support indicator designed to identify higher-probability put credit spread (PCS) and call credit spread (CCS) opportunities using trend alignment, momentum shifts, and volatility-aware structure.
The indicator works on any ticker and any timeframe, and includes multiple built-in ticker presets that automatically adjust internal parameters. While it will generate signals on all charts, the on-chart table displays a recommended context to indicate when the current symbol, timeframe, and session conditions match the optimized configuration.
Core Signal Logic
Signals are generated when multiple conditions align:
Momentum shift-
Identifies directional momentum changes that often precede short-term swing continuation.
Trend confirmation-
Ensures trades align with the prevailing trend and avoids counter-trend entries.
Higher-timeframe bias
Incorporates Daily and 4-Hour EMA structure to bias trades in the dominant market direction.
Relative volume filter-
Confirms participation to reduce low-quality signals during thin or inactive periods.
Cooldown logic
Enforces spacing between signals to prevent clustering and over-trading.
Credit Spread Direction & Structure
PCS (Put Credit Spread) signals are generated in neutral to bullish conditions
CCS (Call Credit Spread) signals are generated in neutral to bearish conditions
When a signal triggers, the script calculates a recommended short strike using recent pivot structure and displays it visually on the chart. This level is intended as a reference point for structuring a credit spread, not as an execution instruction.
On-Chart Table (Informational)
The indicator includes a compact table that displays:
Current signal type (PCS or CCS)
Recommended sell-leg strike
Average spacing between historical signals
How often prior sell-legs were crossed before the next signal (visual reference only)
Recommended context status
The recommended context row indicates whether the chart matches the optimized setup:
1-Hour timeframe
Extended hours enabled
Selected ticker preset matches the chart symbol (unless set to Auto)
This recommendation is informational only. Signals are not blocked when the chart does not match the recommended context.
Ticker Presets & Flexibility
Users can select from multiple built-in ticker presets (or Auto), which adjust internal parameters such as:
Momentum sensitivity
Volatility handling
Trend responsiveness
This allows the indicator to adapt to different instruments while maintaining a consistent signal framework.
Important Notes
This indicator does not place trades and does not include automated backtesting or performance reporting.
All statistics and visual markers are for manual review and contextual analysis only.
Signals are intended for experienced traders who understand options risk, assignment risk, and proper position sizing.
Intended Use
Credit Spreads Swing Trading is intended as a research and decision-support tool for traders who sell option premium and want structured, rules-based signals aligned with trend, momentum, and volume.
It should be used alongside independent analysis and disciplined risk management.
Master Moving Averages PlusThe Master Moving Averages indicator is a full-session, moving-average–driven market structure engine that combines 1) Heiken Ashi Candlesticks, 2)Exponential Moving Averages, 3)Session Backgrounds, 4)VWAP, 5)EMA Streams, 6)EMA Crossing Labels, 7)All-Inside EMA Labels, 8)Price Control Logic (Bundles, Momentum, Reversals), and 9)Heavy EMA anchors into a single chart framework. The indicator provides access to toggle these features on and off in the settings gear icon to the right of the indicator name in the screen panel.
1)Because this chart uses Heikin Ashi candlesticks, the behavior is slightly different from standard candles. Heiken Ashi candles are smoothed, meaning each candle is influenced by the previous one. This reduces noise and makes trends easier to see. In practice, long sequences of same-color candles with small or no opposite wicks indicate strong, sustained movement, while smaller bodies or the appearance of opposite wicks signal slowing or transition. Opposite wicks are wicks that appear against the current direction of the move. In an upward move, an opposite wick is a wick on top of the candle. It shows that upward progress is no longer clean and momentum is starting to slow. In a downward move, an opposite wick is a wick on the bottom of the candle. It shows that downward progress is slowing.
With Heiken Ashi candles, opposite wicks are especially important because they do not appear easily. When one shows up, it often marks loss of trend quality, a pause, or the beginning of a transition rather than a random fluctuation. Ashi wicks still matter, but they emphasize trend quality rather than single-bar reactions, making them especially useful for staying in moves longer and avoiding premature exits caused by random price spikes. Candlesticks are a visual record of price behavior over one bar, showing where price opened, traded, and closed. The body shows the meaningful part of the move—the distance between open and close—and tells whether price made progress during that bar. Large bodies indicate clean movement and follow-through, while small bodies indicate slowing or uncertainty. The wicks show where price traveled but did not stay. Wicks in the direction of the move are normal and usually appear during healthy trends, while wicks against the move signal slowing, hesitation, or loss of momentum. A candle with a large body and small wicks reflects strong continuation, whereas long wicks with a small body suggest pause, balance, or transition. Candlesticks are not signals by themselves; they are read bar-to-bar to judge whether a move is continuing, slowing, or stalling, helping decide whether to stay in a trade, manage risk, or wait for clearer structure.
For example, suppose price is moving higher and already in a long trade. Several candles print with solid bodies and small lower wicks, showing steady upward progress. This is healthy continuation, so staying in the trade makes sense. Then a candle prints with a small body and a long upper wick. Price pushed higher during the bar but could not hold those levels by the close. That candle does not mean reverse now, but it does mean momentum is slowing. The practical response is to stay in but be alert—do not expect the same speed of continuation. If the next candle prints another upper wick or a small body, the move is likely stalling. If instead the next candle closes strong with a large body, the trend has resumed.
2)An Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a moving average that tracks price but gives more weight to the most recent bars. In plain terms: it reacts faster to what price is doing right now than a simple average (SMA) does. Here’s what that means in practice: Every EMA is an average of price over a set number of bars The "exponential" part means the newest candles matter more than older ones. Because of that weighting, an EMA turns sooner, crosses sooner, and shows shifts in directional control sooner. On the chart specifically: Short EMAs (like 4, 9, 16) respond quickly → they show immediate pressure. Mid EMAs (24, 36, 48) show follow-through or failure. Long EMAs (72 and up) change slowly → they define structure and context, often showing the explosive nature of building pressure signaling entries.
3)Session Background gives context to which part of the trading day the current bar or candlestick belongs to. The script separates the day into: Pre-Session, After-Hours and Regular Trading Hours (RTH). Price acts differently depending on the session. Session context is shown on the chart by 1️⃣ Background shading. The lighter background → Pre-session or Pre-Market (PM) and After-hours (AH). The darker background → RTH (Regular Trading Hours). One glance tells you where you are in the day. 2️⃣ Different sessions build different levels of highs and lows: Pre-Session High and Low is built only during After Hours (AH) and pre-market hours (PM). Session High and Low is built only during RTH. Previous Day Session High and Low is carried forward into today. These provide perspective during the session. Sometimes price respects pre-session highs and lows and even previous day session highs and lows— especially immediately following opening in the initial move and retracement. Session context just means knowing whether a particular candlestick bar was or is pre-market, regular hours, or after-hours — because the rules change. It's just a check on where you are.
4)VWAP stands for Volume Weighted Average Price. It is the session’s true average price — weighted by where the volume actually traded. Not yesterday, not overnight, only during Regular Trading Hours. Every share traded during Reg Trading Hours (RTH) pulls VWAP toward it. The VWAP on this chart resets at the RTH open. VWAP uses the average price of each bar, then lets the bars with real volume count more. The calculation is High+ Low+ Close/3. High, Low, Close are added together and averaged. So instead of picking just the close or just the high, it uses the middle of where price actually traded during that bar. The equation looks like this: hlc3 × volume. It only updates during the day session. Overnight and pre-market do not contaminate it. So VWAP belongs to today’s fight only. On the chart it looks like a thick orange line outlined in white. There is a right-side label that reads: VWAP | Bullish / Bearish / Neutral.
In practice VWAP is a 1️⃣ Fair price reference that shows where the bulk of business has been done because if Price is above it → trading is happening at higher-than-average prices. If Price is below it → trading is happening at lower-than-average prices. Fair price is the price level where the most of the trading has actually occurred during the session. It's not a prediction.
It's not a target. It's not a value judgment. It's just where buyers and sellers have been most active. 2️⃣ VWAP slope is smoothed and classified: Rising → Bullish, Falling → Bearish, Flat → Neutral. This doesn’t fire signals — it confirms pressure. VWAP shows where today’s real money has traded and whether that price is drifting up, down, or going nowhere.
The right-side VWAP label summarizes everything in one place: trend state, price distance from VWAP (percentage), and slope strength with direction arrows, allowing quick assessment without clutter. Practically, VWAP is used as a fair-value anchor and intraday control reference—price holding above a rising VWAP supports continuation, price below a falling VWAP supports downside pressure, and flat VWAP conditions warn of rotation or chop rather than trend.
5)EMA (Exponential Moving Average) Streams in this script are a visual state. They are the shaded bands between specific EMA pairs that show: direction, pressure, and alignment. The stream shows the relationship of the pairs. In the script the streams are: 4–9, 9–16, 16–24, 24–36 EMA'S. Each one can be turned on or off. On the chart they look like two EMAs with soft shaded fill between them and color changes based on up or down movement. The stream mechanically is telling 1️⃣ Direction. If the pair is above price they push down, if below price they push up. Each stream is made of two EMAs: One reacts faster, one reacts slower, but they’re doing the same thing. For Example a 4 EMA takes the last 4 candlesticks and averages them; likewise a 9 EMA takes the last 9 candlesticks and averages them yielding two lines, one that moves quicker and one that moves slower. When a slower EMA crosses above a faster EMA it drives price down. When a slower EMA crosses below a faster EMA it drives price up. 2️⃣ Pressure: EMA streams show pressure leaning on price. Wide stream → pressure is expanding. Tight stream → pressure is compressing. Compression matters because it precedes movement.
6)EMA Crossing Labels (Pivots, EMA9, EMA16, EMA24) mark an actual EMA crossover event. The Crossing Labels are white labels attached below or above the candlestick showing price direction. They print only when one EMA physically crosses the price control line. The price control line is a default on the chart and is constant. The priceControlLine = (open + close) / 2. The crossing is confirmed on bar close. If, for example, EMA-16 rolls over the priceControlLine and crosses downward, the label fires indicating that price has stalled or shifted, buyers have lost control, sellers are in control, and the market is trending short. If EMA-24 and EMA-36 follow, pressure is stacking, multiple timeframes confirm, pullbacks become weaker, and price is more likely to continue in the same direction.
7)An Inside EMA label can represent two very different conditions, and context matters. When shorter ranges (such as 9–36, 9-48, or 9–72) compress inside a candle during sideways or low-energy price action, it often reflects chop or rotation, and no immediate expansion is required. In contrast, when deeper ranges (9–106, 9–139, 9–192) collapse inside a single candle—especially near the open or during active sessions—it usually occurs because price is moving faster than the EMAs can respond, signaling elevated energy and the potential for rapid continuation or transition. Practically, Inside labels are conditional triggers: shallow compression can persist, while deep compression demands attention because resolution, when it comes, tends to be decisive.
Example 1: Fast open, real urgency— The market opens and within the first few candles a 9–139 Inside label prints. Price has already moved aggressively, and all EMAs are trapped inside one candle body. In real terms, this means structure has been run over. The practical response is immediate attention: do not hesitate, do not wait for EMAs to fan out. Expect either a fast continuation (often followed quickly by a Bundle or Momentum label) or a sharp stall if momentum fails. Speed matters because the next decision point arrives quickly.
Example 2: Mid-day chop, no urgency—Later in the session, price is rotating sideways and a 9–72 Inside label appears. Price has not traveled far, candles overlap, and no expansion follows. In this case, the label simply confirms compression without pressure. The correct action is no action—continue waiting. No urgency, no expectation of immediate resolution.
Example 3: Transition point—After a trend, a 9–106 Inside prints as bodies shrink. Momentum is already slowing. Here the label marks a transition zone. The practical move is to stop expecting continuation and watch closely: a Momentum or Bundle label confirms continuation, while a Reversal label confirms control change.
8)Price Control Logic is determined by three things working together and the Bundle, Momentum, and Reversal labels are expressions of that control:
1️⃣ Price vs the Price Control Line: The Price Control Line is the midpoint of the candle body. When Price is above it → buyers are controlling closes. When Price is below it → sellers are controlling closes.
2️⃣ EMA Position Relative to Control: When EMAs cross the Price Control Line: EMA crosses up through control → momentum is shifting to buyers. EMA crosses down through control → momentum is shifting to sellers. That’s why labels fire only on those crosses. It marks real control shifts, not wicks.
3️⃣ EMA Stack & Compression: Tight EMA bundles inside the candle body means no one has control yet. EMAs expanding upward means buyers are gaining control. EMAs expanding downward means sellers are gaining control. This is pressure building vs pressure releasing.
Bundle, Momentum, and Reversal labels are confirmation markers, not prediction signals. A Bundle label prints when a compressed EMA cluster (16/24/36/48) resolves back into price with real body momentum and EMA-16 already trending, signaling stored pressure releasing. A Momentum label prints only on sharp expansion, where the candle body is significantly larger than the prior bar, confirming acceleration in the existing direction. A Reversal label marks a true short-term control shift, where EMA-16 flips slope with a momentum candle, signaling buyers and sellers have swapped control—not a wick reaction. Because all labels require body dominance and EMA agreement, they often appear after movement begins, making them reliable tools for confirming pressure, continuation, or control change rather than early entry timing. Visually, each label reinforces direction at a glance. Bullish labels are green, placed below the candle, and use an upward-pointing shape to indicate rising pressure. Bearish labels are red, placed above the candle, and use a downward-pointing shape to indicate falling pressure. Labels sit just off the candle body so price remains clear, and their color, placement, and shape always align with the direction of control.
9) Heavy EMA anchors are the big EMAs. They act like fixed reference points while everything else whips around them. The heavy EMA anchors in this chart are EMA 768,1024, 1250, 1536, 2048, 2700, 3300, 4096. They are displayed only as right-side tags at their current price levels, not as plotted lines. These tags sit on the far right edge of the chart, aligned with the price scale, and are color-matched to their respective EMAs. Their purpose is to show where slow, heavy pressure exists without cluttering price action with lines. When these EMA tags are bundled together and price is trading inside that cluster, the market is compressed and choppy. When the tags separate and price holds above or below the group, structure is returning and directional movement becomes easier. Keeping the tags visible provides instant awareness of whether price is trapped or free, helping filter noise and align the rest of the indicator with the larger structure at all times.
DCT - Liquidity Heatmap - ProDCT - Liquidity Heatmap - Pro
Overview
This indicator maps liquidity concentration zones by analyzing volume distribution across price levels. It identifies areas where significant trading activity has accumulated, potentially indicating zones of interest for future price interaction.
Methodology
Volume Intensity Calculation
Each price level accumulates a normalized volume score calculated as:
- Volume Intensity = Current Bar Volume / SMA(Volume, lookback period)
- This normalization allows comparison across different volatility regimes and trading sessions
Level Construction
- Price levels are distributed symmetrically above and below current price using percentage-based spacing
- Each level maintains cumulative volume data, tracking both raw volume and normalized intensity
- Levels are visualized as zones with height proportional to the spacing parameter
Sweep Detection Logic
A level is marked as "swept" when price action crosses through it:
- Condition: Low ≤ Level Price AND High ≥ Level Price
- Swept levels stop accumulating new volume and can be styled differently (fade, hide, or preserve)
Color Intensity Grading
Zones are color-coded based on their normalized volume relative to the maximum observed:
- Purple: < 25% of max intensity
- Yellow: 25-50% of max intensity
- Orange: 50-75% of max intensity
- Red: > 75% of max intensity
Optional CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta) Mode
When enabled, directional volume is estimated using candle structure:
- Bullish candles: Buy pressure weighted by (Close - Open) / (High - Low)
- Bearish candles: Sell pressure weighted by (Open - Close) / (High - Low)
- Levels display green/red bias based on accumulated directional volume ratio
Adaptive System
The indicator includes a three-layer adaptive system:
1. Timeframe adaptation: Spacing, level count, and retention automatically adjust for M5 through Daily charts
2. Volatility adaptation: ATR-based adjustments widen spacing during high volatility and tighten during consolidation
3. Market type adaptation: Different imbalance thresholds for BTC/ETH, large altcoins, and small caps
Imbalance Detection
Buy/sell imbalance markers appear when the ratio of accumulated buy volume to sell volume exceeds a configurable threshold (default 1.5x for BTC/ETH, 2.0x for small caps).
What Makes This Implementation Unique
- Dollar-denominated liquidity display: Labels show estimated liquidity in USD (K/M/B format) rather than abstract values
- Three-layer adaptive logic: Combines timeframe, volatility (ATR), and asset-class adjustments simultaneously
- Memory-optimized architecture: Automatic cleanup of old swept levels prevents performance degradation on extended charts
- Forward projection: Active levels extend into future bars for cleaner visualization
- Granular visibility controls: Each intensity tier can be toggled independently
Settings Guide
- Dynamic: Enable adaptive adjustments (recommended)
- Spacing: Distance between levels as % of price
- Levels: Number of levels above/below price
- CVD: Enable directional volume analysis
- Forward: Project levels ahead by specified bars
Usage Notes
- Works on both Perpetual and Spot crypto markets
- Optimized for crypto assets; results may vary on other instruments
- Higher timeframes show broader liquidity structure; lower timeframes show granular detail
- Combine with your own analysis framework
Disclaimer
This indicator visualizes historical volume distribution and does not predict future price movement. Not financial advice. Use appropriate risk management.
First Candle + FVGs🕯️ First Candle + 🟢🔴 FVG (Gated After Breakout)
Must be traded on the 1-minute timeframe.
• Step 1: At 9:30 AM NY time, the indicator starts tracking the first 15-minute range (9:30–9:45).
• Step 2: At 9:45 AM, it locks that range and draws two horizontal lines: First Candle High and First Candle Low.
• Step 3: The FVG logic is OFF until price breaks outside that locked range (above the high or below the low).
• Step 4: After the breakout happens, the FVG logic turns ON for the rest of the day.
• Step 5: The indicator detects bullish or bearish FVGs, but shows only one direction at a time:
• If a bullish FVG triggers → all bearish drawings are cleared/hidden.
• If a bearish FVG triggers → all bullish drawings are cleared/hidden.
• Step 6: For each active FVG, it plots:
• The FVG box
• The entry line (BUY or SELL)
• The stop-loss line (default light orange, using your selected SL rule)
• A number label for the FVG sequence
• Step 7: It resets everything on the next NY trading day and starts over.
First Candle's FVGsBull & Bear FVG – One at a Time
This indicator is rule #1 designed to be used with the First 15-Minute Candle indicator. It’s intended strictly for the 1-minute timeframe and should only be applied after 9:45 AM.
In other words, once the market breaks outside the high or low of the first 15-minute candle of the day, that’s when this FVG logic kicks in. It will detect either bullish or bearish Fair Value Gaps and display only one direction at a time: hiding bearish levels when bullish is active and hiding bullish levels when bearish is active.
In short, it waits for the market to break that initial 15-minute range and then helps you focus on a single FVG direction at a time for cleaner and simpler trading.
Opening Range Intraday IndicatorOpening Range Intraday Indicator
Summary
The Opening Range Intraday Indicator is a decision-support tool for intraday breakout entries. It combines an Opening Range Breakout (ORB) model with relative volume confirmation and a squeeze-style trend filter, then visualizes entries with clearly defined take-profit (TP) and stop-loss (SL) levels.
The indicator works on any ticker and any timeframe. However, its default parameters and internal logic are optimized for TSLA on the 15-minute chart, which is shown as a recommended context in the on-chart table for informational purposes only.
Core Logic
Opening Range Breakout
Establishes an opening range during the early session and monitors for confirmed breakouts above or below that range to generate potential intraday entries.
Relative Volume confirmation
Breakouts are validated using relative volume to help ensure participation and reduce low-quality signals during thin or inactive periods.
Squeeze / trend filter
A squeeze-style metric evaluates recent compression and directional behavior, helping to avoid entries during unfavorable or low-quality structural conditions.
Entry Visualization & Risk Levels
When a valid entry is confirmed, the indicator automatically:
Plots directional entry markers
Calculates and draws multiple take-profit levels
Draws a stop-loss level based on opening-range structure or ATR logic
Marks TP or SL hits directly on the chart for visual review
These visuals persist on the chart to allow traders to manually review trade structure and outcome over time.
On-Chart Table & Context Guidance
The indicator includes a compact on-chart table that displays:
Current squeeze value and short-term trend behavior
“No trade” conditions when structure is unfavorable
A recommended context message indicating whether the chart matches the optimized setup (TSLA on the 15-minute timeframe)
This message is informational only and does not restrict signals or functionality on other symbols or timeframes.
Flexibility & Controls
Users can customize:
Take-profit and stop-loss display behavior
Tight or standard stop-loss logic
Quiet windows near session close to suppress alerts
Visual settings and table positioning
This allows the indicator to be adapted to different instruments, volatility profiles, and execution styles.
Important Notes
This indicator does not execute trades and does not include automated backtesting or performance statistics.
TP/SL markers are visual aids only and are intended for manual review, not statistical validation.
Results will vary by symbol, timeframe, execution, and market conditions.
This indicator is intended as a research and decision-support tool for experienced intraday traders who understand execution risk, volatility, and position sizing. It should be used alongside proper risk management and independent analysis.
