Long term MA Trailing Stop strategy to beat Buy&Hold strategy
None of the strategies that I tested can beat the long term Buy&Hold strategy. That's the reason why I wrote this strategy.
Purpose: beat Buy&Hold strategy with around 10 trades. 100% capitalize sold trade into new trade.
My buy strategy is triggered by the EMA(blue) crossing over the SMA curve(orange).
My sell strategy is triggered by another EMA(lime) of the close value crossing the trailing stop(green) value.
The trailing stop value(green) is set to a multiple of the ATR(15) value.
ATR(15) is the SMA(15) value of the difference between high and low values.
Every stock has it's own "DNA", so first thing to do is find the right parameters to get the best strategy values voor EMA, SMA and Trailing Stop.
Then keep using these parameter for future buy/sell signals only for that particular stock.
Do the same for other stocks.
Here are the parameters:
Exponential MA: buy trigger when crossing over the SMA value (use values between 11-50)
Simple MA: buy trigger when EMA crosses over the SMA value (use values between 20 and 200)
Stop EMA: sell trigger when Stop EMA of close value crosses under the trailing stop value (use values between 8 and 16)
Trailing Stop #ATR: defines the trailing stop value as a multiple of the ATR(15) value
Example parameters for different stocks (Start capital: 1000, Order=100% of equity, Period 1/1/2005 to now):
BAR(Barco): EMA=11, SMA=82, StopEMA=12, Stop#ATR=9
Buy&HoldProfit: 45.82%, NetProfit: 294.7%, #Trades:8, %Profit:62.5%, ProfitFactor: 12.539
AAPL(Apple): EMA=12, SMA=45, StopEMA=12, Stop#ATR=6
Buy&HoldProfit: 2925.86%, NetProfit: 4035.92%, #Trades:10, %Profit:60%, ProfitFactor: 6.36
BEKB(Bekaert): EMA=12, SMA=42, StopEMA=12, Stop#ATR=7
Buy&HoldProfit: 81.11%, NetProfit: 521.37%, #Trades:10, %Profit:60%, ProfitFactor: 2.617
SOLB(Solvay): EMA=12, SMA=63, StopEMA=11, Stop#ATR=8
Buy&HoldProfit: 43.61%, NetProfit: 151.4%, #Trades:8, %Profit:75%, ProfitFactor: 3.794
PHIA(Philips): EMA=11, SMA=80, StopEMA=8, Stop#ATR=10
Buy&HoldProfit: 56.79%, NetProfit: 198.46%, #Trades:6, %Profit:83.33%, ProfitFactor: 23.07
I am very curious to see the parameters for your stocks and please make suggestions to improve this strategy.
Mattzab ArrowsMattzab Arrows
THE BASICS
Buy and Sell Signal Arrows
Tack Marks to show how close the next opposite arrow might be- showing possible trend reversals
Standard Bollinger Bands
10-Day SMA Line
Configurable
Open Source
THE NITTY GRITTY
For starters, all values listed below can be changed in the settings. Length of time, as well as source, can be changed. For the Hidden EMA, this can be made visible by increasing its transparency.
ARROWS
The buy and sell signal arrows are based on price and MACD histogram.
The MACD settings are as follows: 10 day fast EMA , 20 day slow EMA , 5 day SMA signal smoothing. Instead of close price, we are using the average point of the day's high, low, and close.
For the arrows, current price and yesterday's price are using hl2 for high/low average.
A BUY arrow is created when:
Current Price IS GREATER THAN Previous Price _AND_ Current MACD Histogram IS GREATER THAN Previous MACD Histogram.
Important Note! Because the MACD Histogram repaints, the buy arrows may appear, then disappear later in the day, if the MACD changes. Check on the changelog to see if I've fixed it by the time you're reading this. (TradingView doesn't let you edit the description after it's been posted)
A SELL arrow is created when:
Current Price IS LESS THAN Previous Price _AND_ Current MACD Histogram IS LESS THAN Yesterday's MACD Histogram _AND_ Close Price is below _EITHER_ the Hidden EMA (default set to 4) _OR_ the Visible SMA (Default set to 10, which is the black line).
The hidden EMA can be made visible by increasing it's transparency in the Style tab.
Including the requirement to only sell if the standard conditions are met, PLUS being below one of those moving average lines, helps to prevent false sell arrows and repainting.
TACK MARKS
The Red Tack is the threshold, or barrier, for the next arrow. It will not move. It is based on previous High/Low/Close Price + MACD.
The Blue Tack is the current point in space for our average Price and MACD Delta Values. It will move throughout the day (or hour or minute depending on your resolution). The Blue Tack will give you an indication of how close or how far from the reversal threshold (Red Tack) the ticker is at that point.
While the Blue Tack is ABOVE Red, the most recent signal arrow will be a buy, and we are in a buy/hold period.
While the Blue Tack is BELOW Red, the most recent signal arrow will be a sell, and we are in a sell/wait period.
If the Blue Tack crosses above or below Red, you'll get the next arrow.
MOVING AVERAGE LINES
There are three moving average lines in this indicator.
The first is black, and is by default a 10-Day Simple Moving Average Line.
This black line is a good safeguard against selling too early. This is a good support line and that's how I use it.
The second is invisible, but can be made visible in the Styling, and is by default a 4-Day Exponential Moving Average Line
The third is the blue 20-Day Bollinger Band line.
BOLLINGER BANDS
The Bollinger Bands are unmodified and are just a background indicator for your use. If you prefer not to see the Bollinger Bands , change their transparency to 0% to hide them. I've cleaned up the Bollinger Bands to make the indicator as a whole- easier on the eyes.
Please leave feedback on how the script works for you, if you run into problems, if you have any changes you'd like to see, etc.
MACDouble + RSI (rec. 15min-2hr intrv) Uses two sets of MACD plus an RSI to either long or short. All three indicators trigger buy/sell as one (ie it's not 'IF MACD1 OR MACD2 OR RSI > 1 = buy", its more like "IF 1 AND 2 AND RSI=buy", all 3 match required for trigger)
The MACD inputs should be tweaked depending on timeframe and what you are trading. If you are doing 1, 3, 5 min or real frequent trading then 21/44/20 and 32/66/29 or other high value MACDs should be considered. If you are doing longer intervals like 2, 3, 4hr then consider 9/19/9 and 21/44/20 for MACDs (experiment! I picked these example #s randomly).
Ideal usage for the MACD sets is to have MACD2 inputs at around 1.5x, 2x, or 3x MACD1's inputs.
Other settings to consider: try having fastlength1=macdlength1 and then (fastlength2 = macdlength2 - 2). Like 10/26/10 and 23/48/20. This seems to increase net profit since it is more likely to trigger before major price moves, but may decrease profitable trade %. Conversely, consider FL1=MCDL1 and FL2 = MCDL2 + (FL2 * 0.5). Example: 10/26/10 and 22/48/30 this can increase profitable trade %, though may cost some net profit.
Feel free to message me with suggestions or questions.
Kay_BBandsV3This is the 3rd version of Kay_BBands.
When +DI (Directional Index ) is above -DI , then Upper band will be visible and vice-versa.
This is when the ADX is above the threshold. 28 is the default in this version. I found its more appealing in 5M time frame.
BLUE - ADX under 10
GREEN - Uptrend, ADX over 10
RED - Downtrend, ADX over 10
Use it with another band with setting 20, 0.6 deviation. Prices keeping above or below the 2nd bands upper or lower bounds shows trending conditions.
I didn't know how to update the old script so published it again.
Changes - :
1) Updated default settings for the indicator
2) ADX setting are now DI (28), ADX (10), adx level to check is 10.
3) IMPORTANT one - When DI is up/down, lower/upper band will also have color (more visible that way.)
Play around the settings.. It really eliminates extra indicator checking visually... Please like if you think idea is good.
CM Renko Overlay BarsCM_Renko Overlay Bars V1
Overlays Renko Bars on Regular Price Bars.
Default Renko plot is based on Average True Range. Look Back period adjustable in Inputs Tab.
If you Choose to use "Traditional" Renko bars and pick the Size of the Renko Bars the please read below.
Value in Input Tab is multiplied by .001 (To work on Forex)
1 = 10 pips on EURUSD - 1 X .001 = .001 or 10 Pips
10 = .01 or 100 Pips
1000 = 1 point to the left of decimal. 1 Point in Stocks etc.
10000 = 10 Points on Stocks etc.
***V2 will fix this issue.
Custom Indicator - No Trade Zone Warning Back Ground Highlights!Years ago I did an analysis of my trades. Every period of the day was profitable except for two. From 10:00-1030, and 1:00 to 1:30. (I was actively Day Trading Futures) Imagine a vertical graph broken down in to 30 minute time segments. I had nice Green bars in every time slot (Showing Net Profits), and HUGE Red Bars from 10 to 10:30 and 1 to 1:30. After analysis I found I made consistent profits at session open, but then I would enter in to bad setups around 10 to make more money. I also found after I took lunch when I came back at 1:00 I would force trades instead of patiently waiting for a great trade setup. I created an indicator that plotted a red background around those times telling me I was not allowed to enter a trade. Profits went up!!! Details on How to adjust times are in 1st Post. You can adjust times and colors to meet your own trading needs.
Opening Range IndicatorComplete Trading Guide: Opening Range Breakout Strategy
What Are Opening Ranges?
Opening ranges capture the high and low prices during the first few minutes of market open. These levels often act as key support and resistance throughout the trading day because:
Heavy volume occurs at market open as overnight orders execute
Institutional activity is concentrated during opening minutes
Price discovery happens as market participants react to overnight news
Psychological levels are established that traders watch all day
Understanding the Three Timeframes
OR5 (5-Minute Range: 9:30-9:35 AM)
Most sensitive - captures immediate market reaction
Quick signals but higher false breakout rate
Best for scalping and momentum trading
Use for early entry when conviction is high
OR15 (15-Minute Range: 9:30-9:45 AM)
Balanced approach - most popular among day traders
Moderate sensitivity with better reliability
Good for swing trades lasting several hours
Primary timeframe for most strategies
OR30 (30-Minute Range: 9:30-10:00 AM)
Most reliable but slower signals
Lower false breakout rate
Best for position trades and trend following
Use when looking for major moves
Core Trading Strategies
Strategy 1: Basic Breakout
Setup:
Wait for price to break above OR15 high or below OR15 low
Enter on the breakout candle close
Stop loss: Opposite side of the range
Target: 2-3x the range size
Example:
OR15 range: $100.00 - $102.00 (Range = $2.00)
Long entry: Break above $102.00
Stop loss: $99.50 (below OR15 low)
Target: $104.00+ (2x range size)
Strategy 2: Multiple Confirmation
Setup:
Wait for OR5 break first (early signal)
Confirm with OR15 break in same direction
Enter on OR15 confirmation
Stop: Below OR30 if available, or OR15 opposite level
Why it works:
Multiple timeframe confirmation reduces false signals and increases probability of sustained moves.
Strategy 3: Failed Breakout Reversal
Setup:
Price breaks OR15 level but fails to hold
Wait for re-entry into the range
Enter reversal trade toward opposite OR level
Stop: Recent breakout high/low
Target: Opposite side of range + extension
Key insight: Failed breakouts often lead to strong moves in the opposite direction.
Advanced Techniques
Range Quality Assessment
High-Quality Ranges (Trade these):
Range size: 0.5% - 2% of stock price
Clean boundaries (not choppy)
Volume spike during range formation
Clear rejection at range levels
Low-Quality Ranges (Avoid these):
Very narrow ranges (<0.3% of stock price)
Extremely wide ranges (>3% of stock price)
Choppy, overlapping candles
Low volume during formation
Volume Confirmation
For Breakouts:
Look for volume spike (2x+ average) on breakout
Declining volume often signals false breakout
Rising volume during range formation shows interest
Market Context Filters
Best Conditions:
Trending market days (SPY/QQQ with clear direction)
Earnings reactions or news-driven moves
High-volume stocks with good liquidity
Volatility above average (VIX considerations)
Avoid Trading When:
Extremely low volume days
Major economic announcements pending
Holidays or half-days
Choppy, sideways market conditions
Risk Management Rules
Position Sizing
Conservative: Risk 0.5% of account per trade
Moderate: Risk 1% of account per trade
Aggressive: Risk 2% maximum per trade
Stop Loss Placement
Inside the range: Quick exit but higher stop-out rate
Outside opposite level: More room but larger risk
ATR-based: 1.5-2x Average True Range below entry
Profit Taking
Target 1: 1x range size (take 50% off)
Target 2: 2x range size (take 25% off)
Runner: Trail remaining 25% with moving stops
Specific Entry Techniques
Breakout Entry Methods
Method 1: Immediate Entry
Enter as soon as price closes above/below range
Fastest entry but highest false signal rate
Best for strong momentum situations
Method 2: Pullback Entry
Wait for breakout, then pullback to range level
Enter when price bounces off former resistance/support
Better risk/reward but may miss some moves
Method 3: Volume Confirmation
Wait for breakout + volume spike
Enter after volume confirmation candle
Reduces false signals significantly
Multiple Timeframe Entries
Aggressive: OR5 break → immediate entry
Conservative: OR5 + OR15 + OR30 all align → enter
Balanced: OR15 break with OR30 support → enter
Common Mistakes to Avoid
1. Trading Poor-Quality Ranges
❌ Don't trade ranges that are too narrow or too wide
✅ Focus on clean, well-defined ranges with good volume
2. Ignoring Volume
❌ Don't chase breakouts without volume confirmation
✅ Always check for volume spike on breakouts
3. Over-Trading
❌ Don't force trades when ranges are unclear
✅ Wait for high-probability setups only
4. Poor Risk Management
❌ Don't risk more than planned or use tight stops in volatile conditions
✅ Stick to predetermined risk levels
5. Fighting the Trend
❌ Don't fade breakouts in strongly trending markets
✅ Align trades with overall market direction

INFLECTION NEXUS - SPAINFLECTION NEXUS - SPA (Shadow Portfolio Adaptive)
Foreword: The Living Algorithm
For decades, technical analysis has been a conversation between a trader and a static chart. We apply our indicators with their fixed-length inputs, and we hope that our rigid tools can somehow capture the essence of a market that is fluid, chaotic, and perpetually evolving. When our tools fail, we are told to "adapt." But what if the tools themselves could learn that lesson? What if our indicators could adapt not just for us, but with us?
This script, INFLECTION NEXUS - SPA, is the realization of that vision. It is an advanced analytical framework built around a revolutionary core: the Shadow Portfolio Adaptive (SPA) Engine . The buy and sell signals you see on the chart are an evolution of the logic from my previous work, "Turning Point." However, this is not a simple combination of two scripts. The SPA engine so fundamentally transforms the nature of the analysis that it creates an entirely new class of indicator. This publication is a showcase of that groundbreaking, self-learning engine.
This system is undeniably complex. When you first load it, the sheer volume of information may feel overwhelming. That is a testament to the depth of its analysis. This guide is designed to be your comprehensive manual, to break down every single component, every color, every number, into simple, understandable concepts. By the end of this document, you will not only master its functions but will also possess a deeper understanding of the market dynamics it is designed to reveal.
Chapter 1: The Paradigm Shift - Why the SPA Engine is a Leap Forward
To grasp the innovation here, we must first deconstruct the severe limitations of traditional "adaptive" indicators.
Part A: The Traditional Model - Driving by the Rear-View Mirror
Conventional "adaptive" systems are fundamentally reactive. They operate on a slow, inefficient loop: they wait for their own specific, biased signal to fire, wait for that trade to close, and only after a long and statistically significant "warm-up" period of 50-100 trades do they finally make a small, retrospective adjustment. They are always adapting to a market that no longer exists.
Part B: The SPA Model - The Proactive Co-Pilot
The Shadow Portfolio Adaptive (SPA) engine is a complete re-imagining of this process. It is not reactive; it is proactive, data-saturated, and instantly aware.
Continuous, Unbiased Learning: The SPA engine does not wait for a signal to learn. Its Shadow Portfolio is constantly running 5-bar long and short trades in the background. It learns from every single 5-bar slice of market action , giving it a continuous, unbiased stream of performance data. It is the difference between reading a textbook chapter and having a live sparring partner in the ring 24/7.
Instantaneous Market Awareness - The End of the "Warm-Up": This is the critical innovation. The SPA engine does not require a 100-trade warm-up period. The learning does not start after 50 trades; it begins on the 6th bar of the chart when the first shadow trade closes. From that moment on, the system is market-aware, analyzing data, and capable of making intelligent adjustments. The SPA engine is not adapting to old wins and losses. It is adapting, in near real-time, to the market's ever-shifting character, volatility, and personality.
Chapter 2: The Anatomy of the SPA Engine - A Granular Deep Dive
The engine is composed of three primary systems that work in a sophisticated, interconnected symphony.
Section 1: The Shadow Portfolio (The Information Harvester)
What it is, Simply: Think of this as the script's eyes and ears. It's a team of 10 virtual traders (5 long, 5 short) who are constantly taking small, quick trades to feel out the market.
How it Works, Simply: On every new bar, a new "long" trader and a new "short" trader enter the market. Exactly 5 bars later, they close their positions. This cycle is perpetual and relentless.
The Critical 'Why': Because these virtual traders enter and exit based on a fixed time (5 bars), not on a "good" or "bad" signal, their results are completely unbiased . They are simply measuring: "What happened to price over the last 5 bars?" This provides the raw, untainted truth about the market's behavior that the rest of the system needs to learn effectively.
The Golden Metric (ATR Normalization): The engine doesn't just look at dollar P&L. It's smarter than that. It asks a more intelligent question: "How much did this trade make relative to the current volatility?"
Analogy: Imagine a flea and an elephant. If they both jump 1 inch, who is more impressive? The flea. The SPA engine understands this. A $10 profit when the market is dead quiet is far more significant than a $10 profit during a wild, volatile swing.
The Formula: realized_atr = (close - trade.entry) / trade.atr_entry. It takes the raw profit and divides it by the Average True Range (a measure of volatility) at the moment of entry. This gives a pure, "apples-to-apples" score for every single trade, which is the foundational data point for all learning.
Section 2: The Cognitive Map (The Long-Term Brain)
What it is, Simply: This is the engine's deep memory, its library of experiences. Imagine a giant, 64-square chessboard (8x8 grid). Each square on the board represents a very specific type of market environment.
The Two Dimensions of Thought (The 'How'): How does it know which square we are on? It looks at two things:
The Market's Personality (X-Axis): Is the market behaving like a disciplined soldier, marching in a clear trend? Or is it like a chaotic, unpredictable child, running all over the place? The engine calculates a "Regime" score to figure this out.
The Market's Energy Level (Y-Axis): Is the market sleepy and quiet, or is it wide-awake and hyperactive? The engine measures "Normalized Volatility" to determine this.
The Power of Generalization (The 'Why'): When a Shadow Portfolio trade closes, its result is recorded in the corresponding square on the chessboard. But here's the clever part: it also shares a little bit of that lesson with the squares immediately next to it (using a Gaussian Kernel).
Analogy: If you touch a hot stove and learn "don't touch," your brain is smart enough to know you probably shouldn't touch the hot oven door next to it either, even if you haven't touched it directly. The Cognitive Map does the same thing, allowing it to make intelligent inferences even in market conditions it has seen less frequently. Each square remembers what indicator settings worked best in that specific environment.
Section 3: The Adaptive Engine (The Central Nervous System)
What it is, Simply: This is the conductor of the orchestra. It takes information from all other parts of the system and decides exactly what to do.
The Symphony of Inputs: It listens to three distinct sources of information before making a decision:
The Short-Term Memory (Rolling Stats): It looks at the performance of the last rollN shadow trades. This is its immediate, recent experience.
The Long-Term Wisdom (Cognitive Map): It consults the grand library of the Cognitive Map to see what has worked best in the current market type over the long haul.
The Gut Instinct (Bin Learning): It keeps a small "mini-batch" of the most recent trades. If this batch shows a very strong, sudden pattern, it can trigger a rapid, reflexive adjustment, like pulling your hand away from a flame.
The Fusion Process: It then blends these three opinions together in a sophisticated way. It gives more weight to the opinions it's more confident in (e.g., a Cognitive Map square with hundreds of trades of experience) and uses your Adaptation Intensity (dialK) input to decide how much to listen to its "gut instinct." The final decision is then smoothed to ensure the indicator's parameters change in a stable, intelligent way.
Chapter 3: The Control Panel - A Novice's Guide to Every Input
This is the most important chapter. Let's break down what these confusing settings actually do in the simplest terms possible.
--- SECTION 1: THE DRIVER'S SEAT (SIGNAL ENGINE & BASE SETTINGS) ---
🧾 Signal Engine (Turning Point):
What it is: These are the rules for the final BUY and SELL signs.
Think of it like this: The SPA engine is the smart robot that tunes your race car. These settings are you, the driver, telling the robot what kind of race you're in.
Enable Reversal Mode: You tell the robot, "I want to race on a curvy track with lots of turns." The robot will tune the car to be agile for catching tops and bottoms.
Enable Breakout Mode: You tell the robot, "I want to race on a long, straight track." The robot will tune the car for pure speed to follow the trend.
Require New Extreme: This is a quality filter. It tells the driver, "Don't look for a turn unless we've just hit a new top speed on the straightaway." It makes sure the reversal is from a real extreme.
Min Bars Between Signals: This is the "pit stop" rule. You're telling the robot, "After you show me a sign, wait at least 10 bars before showing another one, so I don't get confused."
⚡ ATR Bands (Base Inputs):
What they are: These are the starting settings for your car before the robot starts tuning it. These are your factory defaults.
Sensitivity: This is the "Bump Detector." A low number means the car feels every tiny pebble on the road. A high number means it only notices the big speed bumps. You want to set it so it notices the important bumps (real market structure) but ignores the pebbles (noise).
ATR Period & Multiplier: These set the starting size of the "safety lane" (the green and blue bands) around your car. The robot's main job is to constantly adjust the size of this safety lane to perfectly fit the current road conditions.
📊 & 📈 Filter Settings (RSI & Volume):
What they are: These are your co-pilot's confirmation checks.
Enable RSI Filter: Your co-pilot will check the "Engine Temperature" (RSI). He won't let you hit the gas (BUY) if the engine is already overheating (overbought).
RSI Length & Lookbacks: These tune how your co-pilot's temperature gauge works. The defaults are standard.
Require Volume Spike: Your co-pilot will check the "Crowd Noise" (Volume). He won't give you a signal unless he hears the crowd roar, confirming that a lot of people are interested in this move.
🎯 Signal Quality Control:
Enable Major Levels Only: This tells your co-pilot to be extra picky. He will only confirm signals that happen after a huge, powerful move, ignoring all the small stuff.
--- SECTION 2: THE ROBOT'S BRAIN (ENGINE & LEARNING CONTROLS) ---
🎛️ Master Control:
Adaptation Intensity (dialK): THIS IS THE ROBOT'S PERSONALITY DIAL.
Turn it DOWN (1-5): The robot becomes a "Wise Old Professor." It thinks very slowly and carefully, gathers lots of data, and only makes a change when it is 100% sure. Its advice is very reliable but might come a little late.
Turn it UP (15-20): The robot becomes a "Hyper-Reactive Teenager." It has a short attention span, reacts instantly to everything it sees, and changes its mind constantly. It's super-fast to new information but might get faked out a lot.
The Default (10): A "Skilled Professional." The perfect balance of thoughtful and responsive. Start here.
🧠 Adaptive Engine:
Enable Adaptive System: This is the main power button for your robot. Turn it off, and you're driving a normal, non-smart car. Turn it on, and the robot takes over the tuning.
Use Shadow Cycle: This turns on the robot's "practice laps." The robot can't learn without practicing. This must be on for the robot to work.
Lock ATR Bands: This is a visual choice. "Locked" means the safety lanes on your screen stay where your factory defaults put them (the robot still makes changes to the signals in the background). "Unlocked" means you see the safety lanes moving and changing shape in real-time as the robot tunes them.
🎯 Learning (Global + Risk):
What they are: These are the deep-level settings for how your robot's brain processes information.
Rolling Window Size: This is the robot's "Short-Term Memory." How many of the last few practice laps should it remember? A small number means it only cares about what just happened. A big number means it remembers the last hour of practice.
Learn Rate & Smooth Alpha: This is "How big of a change should the robot make?" and "How smoothly should it make the change?" Think of it as turning the steering wheel. A high learn rate is like yanking the wheel; a low one is like a gentle turn. The smoothing makes sure the turn is graceful.
WinRate Thresholds & PnL Cap: These are rules for the robot's learning. They tell it what a "good" or "bad" outcome looks like and tell it to ignore crazy, once-in-a-lifetime events so its memory doesn't get corrupted.
--- SECTION 3: THE GARAGE (RISK, MEMORY & VISUALS) ---
⚠️ Risk Management:
What they are: These are safety rules you can give to your co-pilot for your own awareness. They appear on the dashboard.
The settings: You can set a max number of trades, a max loss for the day, and a "time out" period after a few losses.
Apply Risk to Shadow: This is an important switch. If you turn this ON, your safety rules also apply to the robot's practice laps. If you hit your max loss, the robot stops practicing and learning. It's recommended to leave this OFF so the robot can learn 24/7, even if you have stopped trading.
🗺️ Cognitive Map, STM & Checkpoints:
What it is: The robot's "Long-Term Memory" or its entire library of racing experience.
Use Cognitive Map & STM: These switches turn on the long-term and short-term memory banks. You want these on for the smartest robot.
Map Settings (Grid, Sigma, Half-Life): These are very advanced settings for neuroscientists. They control how the robot's brain is structured and how it forgets old information. The defaults are expertly tuned.
The Checkpoint System: This is the "Save Your Game" button for the robot.
To Save: Check Emit Checkpoint Now. Go to your alert log, and you will see a very long password. Copy this password.
To Load: Paste that password into the Memory Checkpoint box. Then, check Apply Checkpoint On Next Bar. The robot will instantly download all of its saved memories and experience.
🎨 Visuals & 🧩 Display Params:
What they are: These are all about how your screen looks.
You can control everything: The size and shape of the little diamonds (Entry Orbs), whether you see the purple Adapt Pulse, and where the Dashboards appear on your screen. You can change the Theme to Dark, Light, or Neon. These settings don't change how the robot thinks, only how it presents its information to you.
Chapter 4: The Command Center - Decoding the Dashboard
PANEL A (INFLECTION NEXUS): Your high-level mission control, showing the engine's classification of the current Market Context and the performance summary of the Shadow Portfolio.
PANEL B (SHADOW PORTFOLIO ADAPTIVE): Your deep diagnostic screen.
Performance Metrics: View advanced risk-adjusted stats like the Sharpe Ratio to understand the quality of the market movements the engine is learning from.
Adaptive Parameters (Live vs Base): THIS IS THE MOST CRITICAL SECTION. It shows the engine's Live parameters right next to your (Base) inputs. When the Live values deviate, the engine is communicating its learned wisdom to you. For example, a Live ATR Multiplier of 2.5 versus your Base of 1.4 is the engine telling you: "Caution. The market is currently experiencing high fake-outs and requires giving positions more room to breathe." This section is a direct translation of the engine's learning into actionable insight.
Chapter 5: Reading the Canvas - On-Chart Visuals
The Bands (Green/Blue Lines): These are not static Supertrend lines. They are the physical manifestation of the engine's current thinking. As the engine learns and adapts its ATR Period and Multiplier, you will see these bands widen, tighten, and adjust their distance from price. They are alive.
The Labels (BUY/SELL): These are the final output of the "Turning Point" logic, now supercharged and informed by the fully adaptive SPA engine.
The Purple Pulse (Dot and Background Glow): This is your visual cue that the engine is "thinking." Every time you see this pulse, it means the SPA has just completed a learning cycle and updated its parameters. It is actively recalibrating itself to the market.
Chapter 6: A Manifesto on Innovation and Community
I want to conclude with a personal note on why I dedicate countless hours to building systems like this and sharing them openly.
My purpose is to drive innovation, period. I am not in this space to follow the crowd or to re-package old ideas. The world does not need a 100th version of a slightly modified MACD. Real progress, real breakthroughs, come from venturing into the wilderness, from asking "what if?" and from pursuing concepts that lie at the very edge of possibility.
I am not afraid of being wrong. I am not afraid of being bested by my peers. In fact, I welcome it. If another developer takes an idea from this engine, improves it, and builds something even more magnificent, that is a profound win for our entire community. The only failure I recognize is the failure to try. The only trap I fear is the creative complacency of producing sterile, recycled work just to appease the status quo.
I love this community, and I believe with every fiber of my being that we have barely scratched the surface of what can be discovered and created. This script is my contribution to that shared journey. It is a tool, an idea, and a challenge to all of us: let's keep pushing.

Measured Move Volume XIndicator Description
The "Measured Move Volume X" indicator, developed for TradingView using Pine Script version 6, projects potential price targets based on the measured move concept, where the magnitude of a prior price leg (Leg A) is used to forecast a subsequent move. It overlays translucent boxes on the chart to visualize bullish (green) or bearish (red) price projections, extending them to the right for a user-specified number of bars. The indicator integrates volume analysis (relative to a simple moving average), RSI for momentum, and VWAP for price-volume weighting, combining these into a confidence score to filter entry signals, displayed as triangles on breakouts. Horizontal key level lines (large, medium, small) are drawn at significant price points derived from the measured moves, with customizable thresholds, colors, and styles. Exhaustion hints, shown as orange labels near box extremes, indicate potential reversal points. Anomalous candles, marked with diamond shapes, are identified based on volume spikes and body-to-range ratios. Optional higher timeframe candle coloring enhances context. The indicator is fully customizable through input groups for lookback periods, transparency, and signal weights, making it adaptable to various assets and timeframes.
Adjustment Tips for Optimization
To optimize the "Measured Move Volume X" indicator for specific assets or timeframes, adjust the following input parameters:
Leg A Lookback (default: 14 bars): Increase to 20-30 for volatile markets (e.g., cryptocurrencies) to capture larger price swings; decrease to 5-10 for intraday charts (e.g., stocks) for faster signals.
Extend Box to the Right (default: 30 bars): Extend to 50+ for daily or weekly charts to project further targets; shorten to 10-20 for lower timeframes to reduce clutter.
Volume SMA Length (default: 20) and Relative Volume Threshold (default: 1.5): Lower the threshold to 1.2-1.3 for low-volume assets (e.g., commodities) to detect subtler spikes; raise to 2.0+ for high-volume equities to filter noise. Match SMA length to RSI length for consistency.
RSI Parameters (default: length 14, overbought 70, oversold 30): Set overbought to 80 and oversold to 20 in trending markets to reduce premature exit signals; shorten length to 7-10 for scalping.
Key Level Thresholds (default: large 10%, medium 5%, small 5%): Increase thresholds (e.g., large to 15%) for volatile assets to focus on significant moves; disable medium or small lines to declutter charts.
Confidence Score Weights (default: volume 0.5, VWAP 0.3, RSI 0.2): Increase volume weight (e.g., 0.7) for volume-driven markets like futures; emphasize RSI (e.g., 0.4) for momentum-focused strategies.
Anomaly Detection (default: volume multiplier 1.5, small body ratio 0.2, large body ratio 0.75): Adjust the volume multiplier higher for stricter anomaly detection in noisy markets; fine-tune body-to-range ratios based on asset-specific candle patterns.
Use TradingView’s replay feature to test adjustments on historical data, ensuring settings suit the chosen market and timeframe.
Tips for Using the Indicator
Interpreting Signals: Green upward triangles indicate bullish breakout entries when price exceeds the prior high with a confidence score ≥40; red downward triangles signal bearish breakouts. Use these to identify potential entry points aligned with the projected box targets.
Box Projections: Bullish boxes project upward targets (top of box) equal to the prior leg’s height added to the breakout price; bearish boxes project downward. Monitor price action near box edges for target completion or reversal.
Exhaustion Hints: Orange labels near box tops (bullish) or bottoms (bearish) suggest potential exhaustion when price deviates within the set percentage (default: 5%) and RSI or volume conditions are met. Use these as cues to watch for reversals.
Key Level Lines: Large, medium, and small lines mark significant price levels from box tops/bottoms. Use these as potential support/resistance zones, especially when drawn with high volume (colored differently).
Anomaly Candles: Orange diamonds highlight candles with unusual volume/body characteristics, indicating potential reversals or pauses. Combine with box levels for context.
Higher Timeframe Coloring: Enable to color bars based on higher timeframe candle closures (e.g., 1, 2, 5, or 15 minutes) for added trend context.
Customization: Toggle "Only Show Bullish Moves" to focus on bullish setups. Adjust transparency and line styles for visual clarity. Test settings to balance signal frequency and chart readability.
Inputs: Organized into groups (e.g., "Measured Move Settings") using input.int, input.float, input.color, and input.bool for user customization, with tooltips for clarity.
Calculations: Computes relative volume (ta.sma(volume, volLookback)), VWAP (ta.vwap(hlc3)), RSI (ta.rsi(close, rsiLength)), and prior leg extremes (ta.highest/lowest) using prior bar data ( ) to prevent repainting.
Boxes and Lines: Creates boxes (box.new) for bullish/bearish projections and lines (line.new) for key levels. The f_addLine function manages line arrays (array.new_line), capping at maxLinesCount to avoid clutter.
Confidence Score: Combines volume, VWAP distance, and RSI into a weighted score (confScore), filtering entries (≥40). Rounded for display.
Exhaustion Hints: Functions like f_plotBullExitHint assess price deviation, RSI, and volume decrease, using label.new for dynamic orange labels.
Entry Signals and Plots: plotshape displays triangles for breakouts; plot and hline show VWAP and RSI levels; request.security handles higher timeframe coloring.
Anomaly Detection: Identifies candles with small-body high-volume or large-body average-volume patterns via ratios, plotted as diamonds.

Composite Time ProfileComposite Time Profile Overlay (CTPO) - Market Profile Compositing Tool
Automatically composite multiple time periods to identify key areas of balance and market structure
What is the Composite Time Profile Overlay?
The Composite Time Profile Overlay (CTPO) is a Pine Script indicator that automatically composites multiple time periods to identify key areas of balance and market structure. It's designed for traders who use market profile concepts and need to quickly identify where price is likely to find support or resistance.
The indicator analyzes TPO (Time Price Opportunity) data across different timeframes and merges overlapping profiles to create composite levels that represent the most significant areas of balance. This helps you spot where institutional traders are likely to make decisions based on accumulated price action.
Why Use CTPO for Market Profile Trading?
Eliminate Manual Compositing Work
Instead of manually drawing and compositing profiles across different timeframes, CTPO does this automatically. You get instant access to composite levels without spending time analyzing each individual period.
Spot Areas of Balance Quickly
The indicator highlights the most significant areas of balance by compositing overlapping profiles. These areas often act as support and resistance levels because they represent where the most trading activity occurred across multiple time periods.
Focus on What Matters
Rather than getting lost in individual session profiles, CTPO shows you the composite levels that have been validated across multiple timeframes. This helps you focus on the levels that are most likely to hold.
How CTPO Works for Market Profile Traders
Automatic Profile Compositing
CTPO uses a proprietary algorithm that:
- Identifies period boundaries based on your selected timeframe (sessions, daily, weekly, monthly, or auto-detection)
- Calculates TPO profiles for each period using the C2M (Composite 2 Method) row sizing calculation
- Merges overlapping profiles using configurable overlap thresholds (default 50% overlap required)
- Updates composite levels as new price action develops in real-time
Key Levels for Market Profile Analysis
The indicator displays:
- Value Area High (VAH) and Value Area Low (VAL) levels calculated from composite TPO data
- Point of Control (POC) levels where most trading occurred across all composited periods
- Composite zones representing areas of balance with configurable transparency
- 1.618 Fibonacci extensions for breakout targets based on composite range
Multiple Timeframe Support
- Sessions: For intraday market profile analysis
- Daily: For swing trading with daily profiles
- Weekly: For position trading with weekly structure
- Monthly: For long-term market profile analysis
- Auto: Automatically selects timeframe based on your chart
Trading Applications for Market Profile Users
Support and Resistance Trading
Use composite levels as dynamic support and resistance zones. These levels often hold because they represent areas where significant trading decisions were made across multiple timeframes.
Breakout Trading
When composite levels break, they often lead to significant moves. The indicator calculates 1.618 Fibonacci extensions to give you clear targets for breakout trades.
Mean Reversion Strategies
Value Area levels represent the price range where most trading activity occurred. These levels often act as magnets, drawing price back when it moves too far from the mean.
Institutional Level Analysis
Composite levels represent areas where institutional traders have made significant decisions. These levels often hold more weight than traditional technical analysis levels because they're based on actual trading activity.
Key Features for Market Profile Traders
Smart Compositing Logic
- Automatic overlap detection using price range intersection algorithms
- Configurable overlap thresholds (minimum 50% overlap required for merging)
- Dead composite identification (profiles that become engulfed by newer composites)
- Real-time updates as new price action develops using barstate.islast optimization
Visual Customization
- Customizable colors for active, broken, and dead composites
- Adjustable transparency levels for each composite state
- Premium/Discount zone highlighting based on current price vs composite range
- TPO aggression coloring using TPO distribution analysis to identify buying/selling pressure
- Fibonacci level extensions with 1.618 target calculations based on composite range
Clean Chart Presentation
- Only shows the most relevant composite levels (maximum 10 active composites)
- Eliminates clutter from individual session profiles
- Focuses on areas of balance that matter most to current price action
Real-World Trading Examples
Day Trading with Session Composites
Use session-based composites to identify intraday areas of balance. The VAH and VAL levels often act as natural profit targets and stop-loss levels for scalping strategies.
Swing Trading with Daily Composites
Daily composites provide excellent swing trading levels. Look for price reactions at composite zones and use the 1.618 extensions for profit targets.
Position Trading with Weekly Composites
Weekly composites help identify major trend changes and long-term areas of balance. These levels often hold for months or even years.
Risk Management
Composite levels provide natural stop-loss levels. If a composite level breaks, it often signals a significant shift in market sentiment, making it an ideal place to exit losing positions.
Why Composite Levels Work
Composite levels work because they represent areas where significant trading decisions were made across multiple timeframes. When price returns to these levels, traders often remember the previous price action and make similar decisions, creating self-fulfilling prophecies.
The compositing process uses a proprietary algorithm that ensures only levels validated across multiple time periods are displayed. This means you're looking at levels that have proven their significance through actual market behavior, not just random technical levels.
Technical Foundation
The indicator uses TPO (Time Price Opportunity) data combined with price action analysis to identify areas of balance. The C2M row sizing method ensures accurate profile calculations, while the overlap detection algorithm (minimum 50% price range intersection) ensures only truly significant composites are displayed. The algorithm calculates row size based on ATR (Average True Range) divided by 10, then converts to tick size for precise level calculations.
How the Code Actually Works
1. Period Detection and ATR Calculation
The code first determines the appropriate timeframe based on your chart:
- 1m-5m charts: Session-based profiles
- 15m-2h charts: Daily profiles
- 4h charts: Weekly profiles
- 1D charts: Monthly profiles
For each period type, it calculates the number of bars needed for ATR calculation:
- Sessions: 540 minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Daily: 1440 minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Weekly: 7 days worth of minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Monthly: 30 days worth of minutes divided by chart timeframe
2. C2M Row Size Calculation
The code calculates True Range for each bar in the determined period:
- True Range = max(high-low, |high-prevClose|, |low-prevClose|)
- Averages all True Range values to get ATR
- Row Size = (ATR / 10) converted to tick size
- This ensures each TPO row represents a meaningful price movement
3. TPO Profile Generation
For each period, the code:
- Creates price levels from lowest to highest price in the range
- Each level is separated by the calculated row size
- Counts how many bars touch each price level (TPO count)
- Finds the level with highest count = Point of Control (POC)
- Calculates Value Area by expanding from POC until 68.27% of total TPO blocks are included
4. Overlap Detection Algorithm
When a new profile is created, the code checks if it overlaps with existing composites:
- Calculates overlap range = min(currentVAH, prevVAH) - max(currentVAL, prevVAL)
- Calculates current profile range = currentVAH - currentVAL
- Overlap percentage = (overlap range / current profile range) * 100
- If overlap >= 50%, profiles are merged into a composite
5. Composite Merging Logic
When profiles overlap, the code creates a new composite by:
- Taking the earliest start bar and latest end bar
- Using the wider VAH/VAL range (max of both profiles)
- Keeping the POC from the profile with more TPO blocks
- Marking the composite as "active" until price breaks through
6. Real-Time Updates
The code uses barstate.islast to optimize performance:
- Only recalculates on the last bar of each period
- Updates active composite with live price action if enabled
- Cleans up old composites to prevent memory issues
- Redraws all visual elements from scratch each bar
7. Visual Rendering System
The code uses arrays to manage drawing objects:
- Clears all lines/boxes arrays on every bar
- Iterates through composites array to redraw everything
- Uses different colors for active, broken, and dead composites
- Calculates 1.618 Fibonacci extensions for broken composites
Getting Started with CTPO
Step 1: Choose Your Timeframe
Select the period type that matches your trading style:
- Use "Sessions" for day trading
- Use "Daily" for swing trading
- Use "Weekly" for position trading
- Use "Auto" to let the indicator choose based on your chart timeframe
Step 2: Customize the Display
Adjust colors, transparency, and display options to match your charting preferences. The indicator offers extensive customization options to ensure it fits seamlessly into your existing analysis.
Step 3: Identify Key Levels
Look for:
- Composite zones (blue boxes) - major areas of balance
- VAH/VAL lines - value area boundaries
- POC lines - areas of highest trading activity
- 1.618 extension lines - breakout targets
Step 4: Develop Your Strategy
Use these levels to:
- Set entry points near composite zones
- Place stop losses beyond composite levels
- Take profits at 1.618 extension levels
- Identify trend changes when major composites break
Perfect for Market Profile Traders
If you're already using market profile concepts in your trading, CTPO eliminates the manual work of compositing profiles across different timeframes. Instead of spending time analyzing each individual period, you get instant access to the composite levels that matter most.
The indicator's automated compositing process ensures you're always looking at the most relevant areas of balance, while its real-time updates keep you informed of changes as they happen. Whether you're a day trader looking for intraday levels or a position trader analyzing long-term structure, CTPO provides the market profile intelligence you need to succeed.

Volumatic Fair Value Gaps [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Volumatic Fair Value Gaps indicator detects and plots size-filtered Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and immediately analyzes the bullish vs. bearish volume composition inside each gap. When an FVG forms, the tool samples volume from a 10× lower timeframe , splits it into Buy and Sell components, and overlays two compact bars whose percentages always sum to 100%. Each gap also shows its total traded volume . A live dashboard (top-right) summarizes how many bullish and bearish FVGs are currently active and their cumulative volumes—offering a quick read on directional participation and trend pressure.
🔵 CONCEPTS
FVGs (Fair Value Gaps) : Imbalance zones between three consecutive candles where price “skips” trading. The script plots bullish and bearish gaps and extends them until mitigated.
Size Filtering : Only significant gaps (by relative size percentile) are drawn, reducing noise and emphasizing meaningful imbalances.
// Gap Filters
float diff = close > open ? (low - high ) / low * 100 : (low - high) / high *100

Volume Decomposition : For each FVG, the indicator inspects a 10× lower timeframe and aggregates volume of bullish vs. bearish candles inside the gap’s span.
100% Split Bars : Two inline bars per FVG display the % Bull and % Bear shares; their total is always 100%.
Total Gap Volume : A numeric label at the right edge of the FVG shows the total traded volume associated with that gap.
Mitigation Logic : Gaps are removed when price closes through (or touches via high/low—user-selectable) the opposite boundary.
Dashboard Summary : Counts and sums the active bullish/bearish FVGs and their total volumes to gauge directional dominance.
🔵 FEATURES
Bullish & Bearish FVG plotting with independent color controls and visibility toggles.
Adaptive size filter (percentile-based) to keep only impactful gaps.
Lower-TF volume sampling at 10× faster resolution for more granular Buy/Sell breakdown.
Per-FVG volume bars : two horizontal bars showing Bull % and Bear % (sum = 100%).
Per-FVG total volume label displayed at the right end of the gap’s body.
Mitigation source option : choose close or high/low for removing/invalidating gaps.
Overlap control : older overlapped gaps are cleaned to avoid clutter.
Auto-extension : active gaps extend right until mitigated.
Dashboard : shows count of bullish/bearish gaps on chart and cumulative volume totals for each side.
Performance safeguards : caps the number of active FVG boxes to maintain responsiveness.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Turn on/off FVG types : Enable Bullish FVG and/or Bearish FVG depending on your focus.
Tune the filter : The script already filters by relative size; if you need fewer (stronger) signals, increase the percentile threshold in code or reduce the number of displayed boxes.
Choose mitigation source :
close — stricter; gap is removed when a closing price crosses the boundary.
high/low — more sensitive; a wick through the boundary mitigates the gap.
Read the per-FVG bars :
A higher Bull % inside a bullish gap suggests constructive demand backing the imbalance.
A higher Bear % inside a bearish gap suggests supply is enforcing the imbalance.
Use total gap volume : Larger totals imply more meaningful interest at that imbalance; confluence with structure/HTF levels increases relevance.
Watch the dashboard : If bullish counts and cumulative volume exceed bearish, market pressure is likely skewed upward (and vice versa). Combine with trend tools or market structure for entries/exits.
Optional: hide volume bars : Disable Volume Bars when you want a cleaner FVG map while keeping total volume labels and the dashboard.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Volumatic Fair Value Gaps blends precise FVG detection with lower-timeframe volume analytics to show not only where imbalances exist but also who powers them. The per-gap Bull/Bear % bars, total volume labels, and the cumulative dashboard together provide a fast, high-signal read on directional participation. Use the tool to prioritize higher-quality gaps, align with trend bias, and time mitigations or continuations with greater confidence.
% of Average Volume% of Average Volume (RVOL)
What it is
This indicator measures cumulative volume during pre market and separately during the first 10 minutes of trading and compares it to the average 30 day volume. This matters as a high ratio of volume within the premarket and then during the first 10 minutes of trading can correlate to a stock that has a higher probability of trending in that direction throughout the day.
What it’s meant to do
Identify abnormally high or low participation early in the day.
Normalize volume by time of session, so 9:40 volume is compared to past 9:40 volume—not to the full-day total.
Provide consistent RVOL across 1–5–15–60 minute charts (the same market state yields similar readings).
Handle pre-market cleanly (optional) without inflating RVOL.
How it works (plain English)
Cumulative Intraday Volume: Adds up all bars from the session (or pre-market, if enabled) up to “now.”
Time-Matched Baseline: For each prior day in your lookback, it accumulates only up to the same intraday minute and averages those values.
RVOL %: RVOL = (Today cumulative / Average cumulative at same time) × 100.
This “like-for-like” approach prevents the classic mistakes that overstate RVOL in pre-market or make it drift with timeframe changes.
Works best on
Intraday charts: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60 min
Regular & extended hours: NYSE/Nasdaq equities, futures, ETFs
Daily/weekly views are supported for reference, but the edge comes from intraday time-matched analysis.
Tip: For thin names or very early pre-market, expect more variability—lower liquidity increases noise.
Customization (Inputs → Settings)
Lookback Sessions (e.g., 20): How many prior trading days to build the average.
Include Pre-Market (on/off): If on, RVOL accumulates from pre-market start and compares to historical pre-market at the same time; if off, it begins at the regular session open only.
Session Timezone / Exchange Hours: Choose the session definition that matches your market (e.g., NYSE) so “time-matched” means the same thing every day.
Cutoff Minute (Optional): Fix a reference minute (e.g., 6:40 a.m. PT / 9:40 a.m. ET) to evaluate RVOL at a standard check-in time.
Smoothing (Optional): Apply a short moving average to the RVOL line to reduce jitter.
Thresholds & Colors: Set levels (e.g., 150%, 300%) to color the plot/labels and trigger alerts.
Show Labels/Debug: Toggle on-chart labels (current RVOL%, baseline vols) for quick audits.
On-chart visuals & alerts
RVOL% Line/Histogram: Color-coded by thresholds (e.g., >300% “exceptional”, >150% “elevated”).
Session Markers: Optional vertical lines for pre-market/regular open.
Alerts:
RVOL Crosses Above X% (e.g., 150%, 300%)
RVOL Crosses Below X%
RVOL Rising/Falling (slope-based, optional)
Good defaults to start
Lookback: 20 sessions
Pre-market: Off for large caps, On for momentum screens
Thresholds: 150% (notable), 300% (exceptional)
Smoothing: 0–3 bars (or off for fastest response)
Notes & best practices
Timeframe consistency: Because calculations are time-matched, RVOL should remain directionally consistent across intraday timeframes. If you see divergences, confirm your session hours & timezone match your instrument’s exchange.
Holiday/half days: These are included in history; you can shorten lookback or exclude such sessions if your workflow prefers.
Low-float names: Consider a slightly longer lookback to reduce outlier effects.
TL;DR
A time-matched RVOL that treats pre-market correctly, stays stable across intraday timeframes, and is fully customizable for your exchange hours, thresholds, and alerts—so you can spot real participation when it matters.

FlowScope [Hapharmonic]FlowScope: Uncover the Market's True Intent 🔬
Ever wished you could look inside the candles and see where the real action is happening? FlowScope is your microscope for the market's flow, designed to give you a powerful edge by revealing the volume distribution that price action alone can't show you.
Instead of just looking at the open, high, low, and close, FlowScope lets you dive deeper into the market's auction process. It groups candles together and builds a detailed Volume Profile for that period, showing you exactly where the trading happened and revealing the story behind the price action.
Let's explore how you can use it to gain a powerful new edge.
🧐 Core Concept: How It Works
At its heart, FlowScope does three key things:
It Groups Candles: You decide how many candles to group together. For example, setting " Group Candles " to 4 on a 5-minute chart effectively gives you a detailed 20-minute candle and profile. This helps you see the bigger picture and filter out market noise.
It Builds a Volume Profile: For each group, FlowScope analyzes the volume at every single price level. It then displays this as a horizontal histogram (we call this a "footprint" or profile). Longer bars mean more volume was traded at that price, indicating a "fair" price or an area of acceptance. Shorter bars mean price moved through quickly, indicating rejection.
It Creates a Custom "Grouped Candle": To summarize the group's overall price action, FlowScope draws a single, custom candle representing the entire group's:
Open: The open of the first candle in the group.
High: The absolute highest price reached within the group.
Low: The absolute lowest price reached within the group.
Close: The close of the last candle in the group.
This gives you a crystal-clear view of the group's net result, free from the back-and-forth noise of the individual candles inside it.
Below are some of the stunning preset color palettes you can choose from to customize your view:
🚀 How to Use: Practical Applications
FlowScope isn't just for looking pretty; it's a powerful analysis tool. Here are a few ways to integrate it into your trading:
Identify High-Volume Nodes (HVNs): Look for the longest bars in the profile. These are price levels where the market spent the most time and traded the most volume. HVNs often act as powerful "magnets" for price, becoming key areas of support and resistance.
Spot Low-Volume Nodes (LVNs): These are areas with very short bars or gaps in the profile. They represent price levels that the market moved through quickly and inefficiently. If price returns to an LVN, it's likely to move through it quickly again.
Analyze the Summary Box: This is where the real magic happens! ✨
Total Volume (Σ): The total volume for the entire group.
Buy (B) vs. Sell (S) Volume: FlowScope analyzes the lower timeframe action to estimate the buying and selling pressure that made up the total volume. Is a big red candle mostly aggressive selling, or was it just a lack of buyers? The B/S data gives you clues. A high-volume candle with nearly 50/50 buy/sell pressure might indicate absorption or a potential reversal.
Use the Grouped Candle for Clarity: Is the market in a clear uptrend, or is it just choppy? The grouped candle can give you a much clearer signal. A series of strong, green grouped candles shows much more conviction than a mix of small green and red candles.
⚙️ Settings & Customization
This is where you can truly make FlowScope your own. Let's walk through each setting.
Profile Settings
Group Candles: The number of standard chart candles you want to combine into a single FlowScope profile. A setting of 1 will analyze every single bar. A higher number gives you a broader market view. When Group Candles is set to 5, the data from the 5 individual candles are combined, and the volume is calculated accordingly.
Max Profile Boxes: This setting is more than just a number; it's a smart limit that ensures your profiles are always readable and relevant to the current market conditions.
Adaptive Sizing (The Ideal Goal): FlowScope first tries to create the perfect profile by making each volume box's height proportional to the current market volatility. It calculates an "ideal" box height based on the Average True Range ( ATR / 10 ). This is powerful because it automatically adapts: you get smaller, more detailed boxes in quiet, low-volatility markets, and larger, clearer boxes in volatile, fast-moving markets.
The Safety Cap (Your Setting): However, what if you group several candles during a massive price move? The price range could be huge! If we only used the small, ATR-based box height, you might end up with hundreds of tiny, unreadable boxes. This is where your Max Profile Boxes setting (defaulting to 50) comes in. It acts as a maximum detail cap . If the adaptive, volatility-based calculation determines that it would need more boxes than your setting (e.g., more than 50), the indicator will override it. It will then simply divide the entire price range of the group into exactly the number of boxes you specified (e.g., 50).
In short: You are setting the maximum allowable detail. FlowScope intelligently adapts the profile's granularity below that limit based on market volatility, ensuring you always get a clear and meaningful picture.
Style
Show Profile BG: A simple toggle to show or hide the faint background color behind the volume bars. Turning it off can create a cleaner look.
Color Mode: This dropdown controls how the volume profile text is colored.
Custom Gradient: This mode uses the three custom colors you select in the "Profile Colors" section to create a beautiful gradient across the profile.
Candle Color: This mode colors the profile based on whether the grouped candle was bullish (green) or bearish (red). The color will be a gradient, with the most intense color applied to the box with the highest volume; the colors of the other boxes will fade out from that point. It's a great way to see the profile's "mood" at a glance.
Profile Colors 🎨
Use Preset Palette: This is the master switch!
If checked: You can choose from 10 stunning, pre-designed color palettes from the Palette dropdown. The custom color pickers below will be disabled.
If unchecked (Default): The Palette dropdown will be disabled, and you can now choose your own three colors for the gradient.
Palette: (Only active when "Use Preset Palette" is checked) . Choose from 10 luxurious, eye-catching color schemes like "Solar Flare" or "Deep Space" to instantly change the look and feel of your chart.
Low Price / Mid Price / High Price: (Only active when "Use Preset Palette" is unchecked) . These three color pickers allow you to design your own unique gradient for the Custom Gradient color mode.
Candle Display
These settings control the custom "Grouped Candle" that summarizes the profile. When using the "Show Custom Candle" feature, you should change the chart's candlestick display to Bars for a cleaner view.
Show Custom Candle: This is the main toggle. When you check this box, the original chart candles will be hidden, and your custom FlowScope candle will be displayed instead. This custom candle is intentionally small to ensure it does not visually overlap with the volume profile boxes.
Show Body: (Only active when "Show Custom Candle" is checked) . Toggles the visibility of the candle's body.
Wick Width & Body Width: (Only active when "Show Custom Candle" is checked) . These sliders let you control the thickness of the wick and body lines to match your personal style.
Up Color / Down Color: (Only active when "Show Custom Candle" is checked) . Choose the colors for your bullish and bearish custom candles.
Experiment with the settings, find a style that works for you, and start seeing the market in a whole new light.
Happy trading! 📈😊
Yelober - Market Internal direction+ Key levelsYelober – Market Internals + Key Levels is a focused intraday trading tool that helps you spot high-probability price direction by anchoring decisions to structure that matters: yesterday’s RTH High/Low, today’s pre-market High/Low, and a fast Value Area/POC from the prior session. Paired with a compact market internals dashboard (NYSE/NASDAQ UVOL vs. DVOL ratios, VOLD slopes, TICK/TICKQ momentum, and optional VIX trend), it gives you a real-time read on breadth so you can choose which direction to trade, when to enter (breaks, retests, or fades at PMH/PML/VAH/VAL/POC), and how to plan exits as internals confirm or deteriorate. On top of these intraday decision benefits, it also allows traders—in a very subtle but powerful way—to keep an eye on the VIX and immediately recognize significant spikes or sharp decreases that should be factored in before entering a trade, or used as a quick signal to modify an existing position. In short: clear levels for the chart, live internals for the context, and a smarter, rules-based path to execution.
# Yelober – Market Internals + Key Levels
*A TradingView indicator for session key levels + real‑time market internals (NYSE/NASDAQ TICK, UVOL/DVOL/VOLD, and VIX).*
**Script name in Pine:** `Yelober - Market Internal direction+ Key levels` (Pine v6)
---
## 1) What this indicator does
**Purpose:** Help intraday traders quickly find high‑probability reaction zones and read market internals momentum without switching charts. It overlays yesterday/today’s **automatic price levels** on your active chart and shows a **market breadth table** that summarizes NYSE/NASDAQ buying pressure and TICK direction, with an optional VIX trend read.
### Key features at a glance
* **Automatic Price Levels (overlay on chart)**
* Yesterday’s High/Low of Day (**yHoD**, **yLoD**)
* Extended Hours High/Low (**yEHH**, **yEHL**) across yesterday AH + today pre‑market
* Today’s Pre‑Market High/Low (**PMH**, **PML**)
* Yesterday’s **Value Area High/Low** (**VAH/VAL**) and **Point of Control (POC)** computed from a volume profile of yesterday’s **regular session**
* Smart de‑duplication:
* Shows **only the higher** of (yEHH vs PMH) and **only the lower** of (yEHL vs PML) to avoid redundant bands
* **Market Breadth Table (on‑chart table)**
* **NYSE ratio** = UVOL/DVOL (signed) with **VOLD slope** from session open
* **NASDAQ ratio** = UVOLQ/DVOLQ (signed) with **VOLDQ slope** from session open
* **TICK** and **TICKQ**: live cumulative ratio and short‑term slope
* **VIX** (optional): current value + slope over a configurable lookback/timeframe
* Color‑coded trends with sensible thresholds and optional normalization
---
## 2) How to use it (trader workflow)
1. **Mark your reaction zones**
* Watch **yHoD/yLoD**, **PMH/PML**, and **VAH/VAL/POC** for first touches, break/retest, and failure tests.
* Expect increased responsiveness when multiple levels cluster (e.g., PMH ≈ VAH ≈ daily pivot).
2. **Read the breadth panel for context**
* **NYSE/NASDAQ ratio** (>1 = more up‑volume than down‑volume; <−1 = down‑dominant). Strong green across both favors long setups; red favors short setups.
* **VOLD slopes** (NYSE & NASDAQ): positive and accelerating → broadening participation; negative → persistent pressure.
* **TICK/TICKQ**: cumulative ratio and **slope arrows** (↗ / ↘ / →). Use the slope to gauge **near‑term thrust or fade**.
* **VIX slope**: rising VIX (red) often coincides with risk‑off; falling VIX (green) with risk‑on.
3. **Confluence = higher confidence**
* Example: Price reclaims **PMH** while **NYSE/NASDAQ ratios** print green and **TICK slopes** point ↗ — consider break‑and‑go; if VIX slope is ↘, that adds risk‑on confidence.
* Example: Price rejects **VAH** while **VOLD slopes** roll negative and VIX ↗ — consider fade/reversal.
4. **Risk management**
* Place stops just beyond key levels tested; if breadth flips, tighten or exit.
> **Timeframes:** Works best on 1–15m charts for intraday. Value Area is computed from **yesterday’s RTH**; choose a smaller calculation timeframe (e.g., 5–15m) for stable profiles.
---
## 3) Inputs & settings (what each option controls)
### Global Style
* **Enable all automatic price levels**: master toggle for yHoD/yLoD, yEHH/yEHL, PMH/PML, VAH/VAL/POC.
* **Line style/width**: applies to all drawn levels.
* **Label size/style** and **label color linking**: use the same color as the line or override with a global label color.
* **Maximum bars lookback**: how far the script scans to build yesterday metrics (performance‑sensitive).
### Value Area / Volume Profile
* **Enable Value Area calculations** *(on by default)*: computes yesterday’s **POC**, **VAH**, **VAL** from a simplified intraday volume profile built from yesterday’s **regular session bars**.
* **Max Volume Profile Points** *(default 50)*: lower values = faster; higher = more precise.
* **Value Area Calculation Timeframe** *(default 15)*: the security timeframe used when collecting yesterday’s highs/lows/volumes.
### Individual Level Toggles & Colors
* **yHoD / yLoD** (yesterday high/low)
* **yEHH / yEHL** (yesterday AH + today pre‑market extremes)
* **PMH / PML** (today pre‑market extremes)
* **VAH / VAL / POC** (yesterday RTH value area + point of control)
### Market Breadth Panel
* **Show NYSE / NASDAQ / VIX**: choose which series to display in the table.
* **Table Position / Size / Background Color**: UI placement and legibility.
* **Slope Averaging Periods** *(default 5)*: number of recent TICK/TICKQ ratio points used in slope calculation.
* **Candles for Rate** *(default 10)* & **Normalize Rate**: VIX slope calculation as % change between `now` and `n` candles ago; normalize divides by `n`.
* **VIX Timeframe**: optionally compute VIX on a higher TF (e.g., 15, 30, 60) for a smoother regime read.
* **Volume Normalization** (NYSE & NASDAQ): display VOLD slopes scaled to `tens/thousands/millions/10th millions` for readable magnitudes; color thresholds adapt to your choice.
---
## 4) Data sources & definitions
* **UVOL/VOLD (NYSE)** and **UVOLQ/DVOLQ/VOLDQ (NASDAQ)** via `request.security()`
* **Ratio** = `UVOL/DVOL` (signed; negative when down‑volume dominates)
* **VOLD slope** ≈ `(VOLD_now − VOLD_open) / bars_since_open`, then normalized per your setting
* **TICK/TICKQ**: cumulative sum of prints this session with **positives vs negatives ratio**, plus a simple linear regression **slope** of the last `N` ratio values
* **VIX**: value and slope across a user‑selected timeframe and lookback
* **Sessions (EST/EDT)**
* **Regular:** 09:30–16:00
* **Pre‑Market:** 04:00–09:30
* **After Hours:** 16:00–20:00
* **Extended‑hours extremes** combine **yesterday AH** + **today PM**
> **Note:** All session checks are done with TradingView’s `time(…,"America/New_York")` context. If your broker’s RTH differs (e.g., futures), adjust expectations accordingly.
---
## 5) How the algorithms work (plain English)
### A) Key Levels
* **Yesterday’s RTH High/Low**: scans yesterday’s bars within 09:30–16:00 and records the extremes + bar indices.
* **Extended Hours**: scans yesterday AH and today PM to get **yEHH/yEHL**. Script shows **either yEHH or PMH** (whichever is **higher**) and **either yEHL or PML** (whichever is **lower**) to avoid duplicate bands stacked together.
* **Value Area & POC (RTH only)**
* Build a coarse volume profile with `Max Volume Profile Points` buckets across the price range formed by yesterday’s RTH bars.
* Distribute each bar’s volume uniformly across the buckets it spans (fast approximation to keep Pine within execution limits).
* **POC** = bucket with max volume. **VA** expands from POC outward until **70%** of cumulative volume is enclosed → yields **VAH/VAL**.
### B) Market Breadth Table
* **NYSE/NASDAQ Ratio**: signed UVOL/DVOL with basic coloring.
* **VOLD Slopes**: from session open to current, normalized to human‑readable units; colors flip green/red based on thresholds that map to your normalization setting (e.g., ±2M for NYSE, ±3.5×10M for NASDAQ).
* **TICK/TICKQ Slope**: linear regression over the last `N` ratio points → **↗ / → / ↘** with the rounded slope value.
* **VIX Slope**: % change between now and `n` candles ago (optionally divided by `n`). Red when rising beyond threshold; green when falling.
---
## 6) Recommended presets
* **Stocks (liquid, intraday)**
* Value Area **ON**, `Max Volume Points` = **40–60**, **Timeframe** = **5–15**
* Breadth: show **NYSE & NASDAQ & VIX**, `Slope periods` = **5–8**, `Candles for rate` = **10–20**, **Normalize VIX** = **ON**
* **Index futures / very high‑volume symbols**
* If you see Pine timeouts, set `Max Volume Points` = **20–40** or temporarily **disable Value Area**.
* Keep breadth panel **ON** (it’s light). Consider **VIX timeframe = 15/30** for regime clarity.
---
## 7) Tips, edge cases & performance
* **Performance:** The volume profile is capped (`maxBarsToProcess ≤ 500` and bucketed) to keep it responsive. If you experience slowdowns, reduce `Max Volume Points`, `Maximum bars lookback`, or disable Value Area.
* **Redundant lines:** The script **intentionally suppresses** PMH/PML when yEHH/yEHL are more extreme, and vice‑versa.
* **Label visibility:** Use `Label style = none` if you only want clean lines and read values from the right‑end labels.
* **Futures/RTH differences:** Value Area is from **yesterday’s RTH** only; for 24h instruments the RTH period may not reflect overnight structure.
* **Session transitions:** PMH/PML tracking stops as soon as RTH starts; values persist as static levels for the session.
---
## 8) Known limitations
* Uses public TradingView symbols: `UVOL`, `VOLD`, `UVOLQ`, `DVOLQ`, `VOLDQ`, `TICK`, `TICKQ`, `VIX`. If your data plan or region limits any symbol, the corresponding table rows may show `na`.
* The VA/POC approximation assumes uniform distribution of each bar’s volume across its high–low. That’s fast but not a tick‑level profile.
* Works best on US equities with standard NY session; alternative sessions may need code changes.
---
## 9) Troubleshooting
* **“Script is too slow / timed out”** → Lower `Max Volume Points`, lower `Maximum bars lookback`, or toggle **OFF** `Enable Value Area calculations` for that instrument.
* **Missing breadth values** → Ensure the symbols above load on your account; try reloading chart or switching timeframes once.
* **Overlapping labels** → Set `Label style = none` or reduce label size.

## 11) Quick start (TL;DR)
1. Add the indicator and **keep default settings**.
2. Trade **reactions** at yHoD/yLoD/PMH/PML/VAH/VAL/POC.
3. Use the **breadth table**: look for **green ratios + ↗ slopes** (risk‑on) or **red ratios + ↘ slopes** (risk‑off). Check **VIX** slope for confirmation.
4. Manage risk around levels; when breadth flips against you, tighten or exit.

Volatility Forecast/*==============================================================================
Volatility Forecast — Publishable Documentation
Author: @BB_9791
License: Mozilla Public License 2.0
WHAT THIS INDICATOR SHOWS
- A daily volatility estimate in percent points, called sigma_day.
- A slow volatility anchor, the 10-year EMA of sigma_day.
- A blended volatility series in percent points:
sigma_blend = (1 − p) * sigma_day + p * EMA_10y(sigma_day)
where p is the Slow weight %, default 30.
- Optional annualization by multiplying by 16, this is a daily-to-annual
conversion used by Robert Carver in his writings.
METHODOLOGY, CREDIT
The estimator follows the approach popularized by Robert Carver
("Systematic Trading", "Advanced Futures Trading Strategies", blog qoppac).
Current daily volatility is computed as an exponentially weighted standard
deviation of daily percent returns, with alpha = 2 / (span + 1).
The slow leg is a long EMA of that volatility series, about 10 years.
The blend uses fixed weights. This keeps the slow leg meaningful through
large price level changes, since the blend is done in percent space first.
MATH DETAILS
Let r_t be daily percent return:
r_t = 100 * (Close_t / Close_{t−1} − 1)
EWMA mean and variance:
m_t = α * r_t + (1 − α) * m_{t−1}
v_t = α * (r_t − m_t)^2 + (1 − α) * v_{t−1}
where α = 2 / (span_current + 1)
Current daily sigma in percent points:
sigma_day = sqrt(v_t)
Slow leg:
sigma_10y = EMA(sigma_day, span_long)
Blend:
sigma_blend = (1 − p) * sigma_day + p * sigma_10y
Annualized option:
sigma_ann = 16 * sigma_blend
INPUTS
- Threshold (percent points): horizontal guide level on the chart.
- Short term span (days): EW stdev span for sigma_day.
- Long term span (days): EMA span for the slow leg, choose about 2500 for 10 years.
- Slow weight %: p in the blend.
- Annualize (x16): plot daily or annualized values.
- Show components: toggles Current and 10y EMA lines.
- The script uses the chart symbol by default.
PLOTS
- Blended σ% as the main line.
- Optional Current σ% and 10y EMA σ%.
- Editable horizontal threshold line in the same units as the plot
(percent points per day or per year).
- Optional EMA 9 and EMA 20 cloud on the blended series, green for uptrend
when EMA 9 is above EMA 20, red otherwise. Opacity is configurable.
HOW TO READ
- Values are percent points of movement per day when not annualized,
for example 1.2 means about 1.2% typical daily move.
- With annualize checked, values are percent points per year, for example 18
means about 18% annualized volatility.
- Use the threshold and the EMA cloud to mark high or low volatility regimes.
NOTES
- All calculations use daily data via request.security at the chart symbol.
- The blend is done in percent space, then optionally annualized, which avoids
bias from the price level.
- This script does not produce trading signals by itself, it is a risk and
regime indicator.

ATR Extension from Moving Average, with Robust Sigma Bands
# ATR Extension from Moving Average, with Robust Sigma Bands
**What it does**
This indicator measures how far price is from a selected moving average, expressed in **ATR multiples**, then overlays **robust sigma bands** around the long run central tendency of that extension. Positive values mean price is extended above the MA, negative values mean price is extended below the MA. The signal adapts to volatility through ATR, which makes comparisons consistent across symbols and regimes.
**Why it can help**
* Normalizes distance to an MA by ATR, which controls for changing volatility
* Uses the **bar’s extreme** against the MA, not just the close, so it captures true stretch
* Computes a **median** and **standard deviation** of the extension over a multi-year window, which yields simple, intuitive bands for trend and mean-reversion decisions

* **MA length**: default 50, options 200, 64, 50, 20, 9, 4, 3
* **MA timeframe**: Daily or Weekly. The MA is computed on the chosen higher timeframe through `request.security`.
* **MA type**: EMA or SMA
* **Years lookback**: 1 to 10 years, default 5. This sets the sample for the median and sigma calculation, `years * 365` bars.
* **Line width**: visual width of the plotted extension series
* **Table**: optional on-chart table that displays the current long run **median** and **sigma** of the extension, with selectable text size
**Fixed parameters in this release**
* **ATR length**: 20 on the daily timeframe
* **ATR type**: classic ATR. ADR percent is not enabled in this version.
---
## Plots and colors
* **Main plot**: “Extension from 50d EMA” by default. Value is in **ATR multiples**.
* **Reference lines**:
* `median` line, black dashed
* +2σ orange, +3σ red
* −2σ blue, −3σ green
---
## How it is calculated
1. **Moving average** on the selected higher timeframe: EMA or SMA of `close`.
2. **Extreme-based distance** from MA, as a percent of price:
* If `close > MA`, use `(high − MA) / close * 100`
* Else, use `(low − MA) / close * 100`
3. **ATR percent** on the daily timeframe: `ATR(20) / close * 100`
4. **ATR multiples**: extension percent divided by ATR percent
5. **Robust center and spread** over the chosen lookback window:
* Center: **median** of the ATR-multiple series
* Spread: **standard deviation** of that series
* Bands: center ± 1σ, 2σ, 3σ, with 2σ and 3σ drawn
This design yields an intuitive unit scale. A value of **+2.0** means price is about 2 ATR above the selected MA by the most stretched side of the current bar. A value of **−3.0** means roughly 3 ATR below.
---
## Practical use
* **Trend continuation**
* Sustained readings near or above **+1σ** together with a rising MA often signal healthy momentum.
* **Mean reversion**
* Spikes into **±2σ** or **±3σ** can identify stretched conditions for fade setups in range or late-trend environments.
* **Regime awareness**
* The **median** moves slowly. When median drifts positive for many months, the market spends more time extended above the MA, which often marks bullish regimes. The opposite applies in bearish regimes.
**Notes**
* The MA can be set to Weekly while ATR remains Daily. This is deliberate, it keeps the normalization stable for most symbols.
* On very short intraday charts, the extension remains meaningful since it references the session’s extreme against a higher-timeframe MA and a daily ATR.
* Symbols with short histories may not fill the lookback window. Bands will adapt as data accrues.

## Table overlay
Enable **Table → Show** to see:
* “ATR from \”
* Current **median** and **sigma** of the extension series for your lookback
---
## Recommended settings
* **Swing equities**: 50 EMA on Daily, 5 to 7 years
* **Index trend work**: 200 EMA on Daily, 10 years
* **Position trading**: 20 or 50 EMA on Weekly MA, 5 to 10 years
---
## Interpretation examples
* Reading **+2.7** with price above a rising 50 EMA, near prior highs
* Strong trend extension, consider pyramiding in trend systems or waiting for a pullback if you are a mean-reverter.
* Reading **−2.2** into multi-month support with flattening MA
* Stretch to the downside that often mean-reverts, size entries based on your system rules.

RSI Divergence ProjectionRSI Divergence Projection
Go beyond traditional, lagging indicators with this advanced RSI Divergence tool. It not only identifies four types of confirmed RSI divergence but also introduces a unique, forward-looking engine. This engine spots potential divergences as they form on the current candle and then projects the exact price threshold required to validate them.
Our core innovation is the Divergence Projection Line, a clean, clutter-free visualization that extends this calculated price target into the future, providing a clear and actionable level for your trading decisions.
The Core Logic: Understanding RSI Divergence
For those new to the concept, RSI Divergence is a powerful tool used to spot potential market reversals or continuations. It occurs when the price of an asset is moving in the opposite direction of the Relative Strength Index (RSI). This indicator automatically detects and plots four key types:
Regular Bullish Divergence: Price prints a lower low, but the RSI prints a higher low. This often signals that bearish momentum is fading and a potential reversal to the upside is near.
Hidden Bullish Divergence: Price prints a higher low, but the RSI prints a lower low. This is often seen in an uptrend and can signal a continuation of the bullish move.
Regular Bearish Divergence: Price prints a higher high, but the RSI prints a lower high. This suggests that bullish momentum is weakening and a potential reversal to the downside is coming.
Hidden Bearish Divergence: Price prints a lower high, but the RSI prints a higher high. This is often seen in a downtrend and can signal a continuation of the bearish move.
Confirmed divergences are plotted with solid-colored lines on the price chart and marked with a "B" (Bearish/Bullish) or "HB" (Hidden Bearish/Hidden Bullish) label.
The Core Innovation: The Divergence Projection
This is where the indicator truly shines and sets itself apart. Instead of waiting for a pivot point to be confirmed, our engine analyzes the current, unclosed candle.
Potential Divergence Detection: When the indicator notices that the current price and RSI are setting up for a potential divergence against the last confirmed pivot, it will draw a dashed line on the chart. This gives you a critical head-start before the signal is confirmed.
The Projection Line (Our Innovation): This is the game-changer. Rather than cluttering your chart with messy labels, the indicator calculates the exact closing price the next candle needs to achieve to make the current RSI level equal to the RSI of the last pivot.
It then projects a clean, horizontal dashed line at this price level into the future.
Attached to the end of this line is a single, consolidated label that tells you the type of potential divergence and the exact threshold price.
This unique visualization transforms a vague concept into a precise, actionable price target, completely free of chart clutter.
How to Use This Indicator
1. Trading Confirmed Divergences:
Look for the solid lines and the "B" or "HB" labels that appear after a candle has closed and a pivot is confirmed.
A Regular Bullish divergence can be an entry signal for a long position, often placed after the confirmation candle closes.
A Regular Bearish divergence can be an entry signal for a short position.
Hidden Divergences can be used as confirmation to stay in a trade or to enter a trade in the direction of the prevailing trend.
2. Using the Divergence Projection for a Tactical Advantage:
When a dashed line appears on the current price action, you are seeing a potential divergence in real-time.
Look to the right of the current candle for the Projection Line. The price level of this line is your key level to watch.
Example (Potential Bullish Divergence): You see a dashed green line forming from a previous low to the current lower low. To the right, you see a horizontal line projected with a label: "Potential Bull Div | Thresh: 10,750.50".
Interpretation: This means that if the next candle closes below 10,750.50, the RSI will not be high enough to form a divergence. However, if the price pushes up and the next candle closes above 10,750.50, the bullish divergence remains intact and is more likely to be confirmed. This gives you a concrete price level to monitor for entry or exit decisions.
How the Projection Engine Works: A Deeper Dive
To fully trust this tool, it's helpful to understand the logic behind it. The projection engine is not based on guesswork or repainting; it's based on a precise mathematical reverse-engineering of the RSI formula.
The Concept: The engine calculates the "tipping point." The Threshold Price is the exact closing price at which the new RSI value would be identical to the RSI value of the previous pivot point. It answers the question: "For this potential divergence to remain valid, where does the next candle need to close?"
The Technicals: The script takes the target RSI from the last pivot, reverse-engineers the formula to find the required average gain/loss ratio, and then solves for the one unknown variable: the gain or loss needed on the next candle. This required price change is then added to or subtracted from the previous close to determine the exact threshold price.
This calculation provides the precise closing price needed to hit our target, which is then plotted as the clean and simple Projection Line on your chart.

Globex Trap w/ percentage [SLICKRICK]Globex Trap w/ Percentage
Overview
The Globex Trap w/ Percentage indicator is a powerful tool designed to help traders identify high-probability trading opportunities by analyzing price action during the Globex (overnight) session and regular trading hours. By combining Globex session ranges with Supply & Demand zones, this indicator highlights potential "trap" areas where significant price reactions may occur. Additionally, it calculates the Globex session range as a percentage of the daily Average True Range (ATR), providing valuable context for assessing market volatility.
This indicator is ideal for traders in futures markets or other instruments traded during Globex sessions, offering a visual and analytical edge for spotting key price levels and potential reversals or breakouts.
Key Features
Globex Session Tracking:
Visualizes the high and low of the Globex session (default: 3:00 PM to 6:30 AM PST) with customizable time settings.
Displays a semi-transparent box to mark the Globex range, with labels for "Globex High" and "Globex Low."
Calculates the Globex range as a percentage of the daily ATR, displayed as a label for quick reference.
Supply & Demand Zones:
Identifies Supply & Demand zones during regular trading hours (default: 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM PST) with customizable time settings.
Draws semi-transparent boxes to highlight these zones, aiding in the identification of key support and resistance areas.
Trap Area Identification:
Highlights potential trap zones where Globex ranges and Supply & Demand zones overlap, indicating areas where price may reverse or consolidate due to trapped traders.
Customizable Settings:
Adjust Globex and Supply & Demand session times to suit your trading preferences.
Toggle visibility of Globex and Supply & Demand zones independently.
Customize box colors for better chart readability.
Set the lookback period (default: 10 days) to control how many historical zones are displayed.
Configure the ATR length (default: 14) for the percentage calculation.
PST Timezone Default:
All times are based on Pacific Standard Time (PST) by default, ensuring accurate session tracking for users in this timezone or those aligning with U.S. West Coast market hours.
Recommended Usage
Timeframes: Best used on 1-hour charts or lower (e.g., 15-minute, 5-minute) for precise entry and exit points.
Markets: Optimized for futures (e.g., ES, NQ, CL) and other instruments traded during Globex sessions.
Historical Data: Ensure at least 10 days of historical data for optimal visualization of zones.
Strategy Integration: Use the indicator to identify potential reversals or breakouts at Globex highs/lows or Supply & Demand zones. The ATR percentage provides context for whether the Globex range is significant relative to typical daily volatility.
How It Works
Globex Session:
Tracks the high and low prices during the user-defined Globex session (default: 3:00 PM to 6:30 AM PST).
When the session ends, a box is drawn from the start to the end of the session, capturing the high and low prices.
Labels are placed at the midpoint of the session, showing "Globex High," "Globex Low," and the range as a percentage of the daily ATR (e.g., "75.23% of Daily ATR").
Supply & Demand Zones:
Tracks the high and low prices during the user-defined regular trading hours (default: 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM PST).
Draws a box to mark these zones, which often act as key support or resistance levels.
ATR Percentage:
Calculates the Globex range (high minus low) and divides it by the daily ATR to express it as a percentage.
This metric helps traders gauge whether the overnight price movement is significant compared to the instrument’s typical volatility.
Time Handling:
Uses PST (UTC-8) for all time calculations, ensuring accurate session timing for users aligning with this timezone.
Properly handles overnight sessions that cross midnight, ensuring seamless tracking.
