Innovative, Accurate, Unique:
This isn’t just an upgrade. It’s a quantum leap in technical analysis.
RSI Full Forecast is the first of its kind: an indicator that blends statistical analysis, machine learning, and visual design to create a true real-time predictive system.
⯁ SCIENTIFIC BASIS LINEAR REGRESSION
Linear Regression is a fundamental method of statistics and machine learning, used to model the relationship between a dependent variable y and one or more independent variables 𝑥.
The general formula for a simple linear regression is given by:
y = β₀ + β₁x + ε
β₁ = Σ((xᵢ - x̄)(yᵢ - ȳ)) / Σ((xᵢ - x̄)²)
β₀ = ȳ - β₁x̄
Where:
y = is the predicted variable (e.g. future value of RSI)
x = is the explanatory variable (e.g. time or bar index)
β0 = is the intercept (value of 𝑦 when 𝑥 = 0)
𝛽1 = is the slope of the line (rate of change)
ε = is the random error term
The goal is to estimate the coefficients 𝛽0 and 𝛽1 so as to minimize the sum of the squared errors — the so-called Random Error Method Least Squares.
⯁ LEAST SQUARES ESTIMATION
To minimize the error between predicted and observed values, we use the following formulas:
β₁ = /
β₀ = ȳ - β₁x̄
Where:
∑ = sum
x̄ = mean of x
ȳ = mean of y
x_i, y_i = individual values of the variables.
Where:
x_i and y_i are the means of the independent and dependent variables, respectively.
i ranges from 1 to n, the number of observations.
These equations guarantee the best linear unbiased estimator, according to the Gauss-Markov theorem, assuming homoscedasticity and linearity.
⯁ LINEAR REGRESSION IN MACHINE LEARNING
Linear regression is one of the cornerstones of supervised learning. Its simplicity and ability to generate accurate quantitative predictions make it essential in AI systems, predictive algorithms, time series analysis, and automated trading strategies.
By applying this model to the RSI, you are literally putting artificial intelligence at the heart of a classic indicator, bringing a new dimension to technical analysis.
⯁ VISUAL INTERPRETATION
Imagine an RSI time series like this:
Time →
RSI →
The regression line will smooth these values and extend them n periods into the future, creating a predicted trajectory based on the historical moment. This line becomes the predicted RSI, which can be crossed with the actual RSI to generate more intelligent signals.
⯁ SUMMARY OF SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS USED
Linear Regression Models the relationship between variables using a straight line.
Least Squares Minimizes the sum of squared errors between prediction and reality.
Time Series Forecasting Estimates future values based on historical data.
Supervised Learning Trains models to predict outputs from known inputs.
Statistical Smoothing Reduces noise and reveals underlying trends.
⯁ WHY THIS INDICATOR IS REVOLUTIONARY
Scientifically-based: Based on statistical theory and mathematical inference.
Unprecedented: First public RSI with least squares predictive modeling.
Intelligent: Built with machine learning logic.
Practical: Generates forward-thinking signals.
Customizable: Flexible for any trading strategy.
⯁ CONCLUSION
By combining RSI with linear regression, this indicator allows a trader to predict market momentum, not just follow it.
RSI Full Forecast is not just an indicator — it is a scientific breakthrough in technical analysis technology.
⯁ Example of simple linear regression, which has one independent variable:
⯁ In linear regression, observations ( red ) are considered to be the result of random deviations ( green ) from an underlying relationship ( blue ) between a dependent variable ( y ) and an independent variable ( x ).
⯁ Visualizing heteroscedasticity in a scatterplot against 100 random fitted values using Matlab:
⯁ The data sets in the Anscombe's quartet are designed to have approximately the same linear regression line (as well as nearly identical means, standard deviations, and correlations) but are graphically very different. This illustrates the pitfalls of relying solely on a fitted model to understand the relationship between variables.
⯁ The result of fitting a set of data points with a quadratic function:

Forecast Types:
• Flat: Assumes prices will remain the same.
• Linreg: Makes a 'Linear Regression' forecast for n periods.
Technical Information:
ta.linreg (built-in function)
Linear regression curve. A line that best fits the specified prices over a user-defined time period. It is calculated using the least squares method. The result of this function is calculated using the formula: linreg = intercept + slope * (length - 1 - offset), where intercept and slope are the values calculated using the least squares method on the source series.
Syntax:
• Function: ta.linreg()
Parameters:
• source: Source price series.
• length: Number of bars (period).
• offset: Offset.
• return: Linear regression curve.
This function has been cleverly applied to the RSI, making it capable of projecting future values based on past statistical trends.

⯁ WHAT IS THE RSI❓
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a technical analysis indicator developed by J. Welles Wilder. It measures the magnitude of recent price movements to evaluate overbought or oversold conditions in a market. The RSI is an oscillator that ranges from 0 to 100 and is commonly used to identify potential reversal points, as well as the strength of a trend.
⯁ HOW TO USE THE RSI❓
The RSI is calculated based on average gains and losses over a specified period (usually 14 periods). It is plotted on a scale from 0 to 100 and includes three main zones:
• Overbought: When the RSI is above 70, indicating that the asset may be overbought.
• Oversold: When the RSI is below 30, indicating that the asset may be oversold.
• Neutral Zone: Between 30 and 70, where there is no clear signal of overbought or oversold conditions.

Quarterly Cycle Theory with DST time AdjustedThe Quarterly Theory removes ambiguity, as it gives specific time-based reference points to look for when entering trades. Before being able to apply this theory to trading, one must first understand that time is fractal:
Yearly Quarters = 4 quarters of three months each.
Monthly Quarters = 4 quarters of one week each.
Weekly Quarters = 4 quarters of one day each (Monday - Thursday). Friday has its own specific function.
Daily Quarters = 4 quarters of 6 hours each = 4 trading sessions of a trading day.
Sessions Quarters = 4 quarters of 90 minutes each.
90 Minute Quarters = 4 quarters of 22.5 minutes each.
Yearly Cycle: Analogously to financial quarters, the year is divided in four sections of three months each:
Q1 - January, February, March.
Q2 - April, May, June (True Open, April Open).
Q3 - July, August, September.
Q4 - October, November, December.
S&P 500 E-mini Futures (daily candles) — Monthly Cycle.
Monthly Cycle: Considering that we have four weeks in a month, we start the cycle on the first month’s Monday (regardless of the calendar Day):
Q1 - Week 1: first Monday of the month.
Q2 - Week 2: second Monday of the month (True Open, Daily Candle Open Price).
Q3 - Week 3: third Monday of the month.
Q4 - Week 4: fourth Monday of the month.
S&P 500 E-mini Futures (4 hour candles) — Weekly Cycle.
Weekly Cycle: Daye determined that although the trading week is composed by 5 trading days, we should ignore Friday, and the small portion of Sunday’s price action:
Q1 - Monday.
Q2 - Tuesday (True Open, Daily Candle Open Price).
Q3 - Wednesday.
Q4 - Thursday.
S&P 500 E-mini Futures (1 hour candles) — Daily Cycle.
Daily Cycle: The Day can be broken down into 6 hour quarters. These times roughly define the sessions of the trading day, reinforcing the theory’s validity:
Q1 - 18:00 - 00:00 Asia.
Q2 - 00:00 - 06:00 London (True Open).
Q3 - 06:00 - 12:00 NY AM.

Absolute Strength Index [ASI] (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Absolute Strength Index (ASI) is a next-generation oscillator designed to measure the strength and direction of price movements by leveraging percentile-based normalization of historical returns. Developed by Zeiierman, this indicator offers a highly visual and intuitive approach to identifying market conditions, trend strength, and divergence opportunities.
By dynamically scaling price returns into a bounded oscillator (-10 to +10), the ASI helps traders spot overbought/oversold conditions, trend reversals, and momentum changes with enhanced precision. It also incorporates advanced features like divergence detection and adaptive signal smoothing for versatile trading applications.
█ How It Works
The ASI's core calculation methodology revolves around analyzing historical price returns, classifying them into top and bottom percentiles, and normalizing the current price movement within this framework. Here's a breakdown of its key components:

The ASI evaluates historical price returns over a user-defined period (Returns Lookback) to measure recent price behavior. This lookback window determines the sensitivity of the oscillator:
Shorter Lookback: Higher responsiveness to recent price movements, suitable for scalping or high-volatility assets.
Longer Lookback: Smoother oscillator behavior is ideal for identifying larger trends and avoiding false signals.
⚪ Percentile-Based Thresholds
The ASI categorizes returns into two groups:
Top Percentile (Winners): The upper X% of returns, representing the strongest upward price moves.
Bottom Percentile (Losers): The lower X% of returns, capturing the sharpest downward movements.
This percentile-based normalization ensures the ASI adapts to market conditions, filtering noise and emphasizing significant price changes.
⚪ Oscillator Normalization
The ASI normalizes current returns relative to the top and bottom thresholds:
Values range from -10 to +10, where:
+10 represents extreme bullish strength (above the top percentile threshold).
-10 indicates extreme bearish weakness (below the bottom percentile threshold).
⚪ Signal Line Smoothing
A signal line is optionally applied to the ASI using a variety of moving averages:
Options: SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, or HMA.
Effect: Smooths the ASI to filter out noise, with shorter lengths offering higher responsiveness and longer lengths providing stability.
⚪ Divergence Detection
One of ASI's standout features is its ability to detect and highlight bullish and bearish divergences:
Bullish Divergence: The ASI forms higher lows while the price forms lower lows, signaling potential upward reversals.
Bearish Divergence: The ASI forms lower highs while the price forms higher highs, indicating potential downward reversals.
█ Key Differences from RSI
Dynamic Adaptability: ASI adjusts to market conditions through percentile-based scaling, while RSI uses static thresholds.
█ How to Use ASI
⚪ Trend Identification
Bullish Strength: ASI above zero suggests upward momentum, suitable for trend-following trades.
Bearish Weakness: ASI below zero signals downward momentum, ideal for short trades or exits from long positions.
⚪ Overbought/Oversold Levels
Overbought Zone: ASI in the +8 to +10 range indicates potential exhaustion of bullish momentum.
Oversold Zone: ASI in the -8 to -10 range points to potential reversal opportunities.
⚪ Divergence Signals
Look for bullish or bearish divergence labels to anticipate trend reversals before they occur.
⚪ Signal Line Crossovers
A crossover between the ASI and its signal line (e.g., EMA or SMA) can indicate a shift in momentum:
Bullish Crossover: ASI crosses above the signal line, signaling potential upside.
Bearish Crossover: ASI crosses below the signal line, suggesting downside momentum.
█ Settings Explained
⚪ Absolute Strength Index
Returns Lookback: Sets the sensitivity of the oscillator. Shorter periods detect short-term changes, while longer periods focus on broader trends.
Top/Bottom Percentiles: Adjust thresholds for defining winners and losers. Narrower percentiles increase sensitivity to outliers.
Signal Line Type: Choose from SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, or HMA for smoothing.
Signal Line Length: Fine-tune the responsiveness of the signal line.
⚪ Divergence
Divergence Lookback: Adjusts the period for detecting divergence. Use longer lookbacks to reduce noise.

Filtered ATR with EMA OverlayFiltered ATR with EMA Overlay is an advanced volatility indicator designed to provide a more accurate representation of market conditions by smoothing the standard Average True Range (ATR). This is achieved by filtering out extreme price movements and abnormal bars that can distort traditional ATR calculations.
The indicator applies an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to the filtered ATR, creating a dual-layered system that highlights periods of increased or decreased volatility.
Key Features:
Filtered ATR: Filters out extreme bars, reducing noise and making the ATR line more reliable.
EMA Overlay: An EMA (default period of 10) is applied to the filtered ATR, allowing traders to track average volatility trends.
Volatility Signals:
Filtered ATR > EMA(10): Indicates higher-than-average volatility. This often correlates with trend breakouts or strong price movements.
Filtered ATR < EMA(10): Suggests reduced volatility, signaling potential consolidation or sideways price action.
Parameters:
atrLength (Default: 5):
The number of bars used to calculate the ATR. A shorter period (e.g., 3-5) responds faster to price changes, while a longer period (e.g., 10-14) provides smoother results.
multiplier (Default: 1.8):
Controls the sensitivity of the filter. A lower multiplier (e.g., 1.5) filters out more bars, resulting in smoother ATR. Higher values (e.g., 2.0) allow more bars to pass through, retaining more price volatility.
maxIterations (Default: 20):
The maximum number of bars processed to detect abnormal values. Increasing this may improve accuracy at the cost of performance.
ema10Period (Default: 10):
The period for the Exponential Moving Average applied to the filtered ATR. Shorter periods provide faster signals, while longer periods give smoother, lagging signals.
Trading Strategies:
1. Breakout Strategy:
When filtered ATR crosses above EMA(10):
Enter long positions when price breaks above a key resistance level.
Higher volatility suggests strong price action and momentum.
When filtered ATR drops below EMA(10):
Exit positions or tighten stop-loss orders as volatility decreases.
Lower volatility may indicate consolidation or trend exhaustion.
2. Trend Following Strategy:
Use the filtered ATR line to track overall volatility.
If filtered ATR consistently stays above EMA: Hold positions or add to trades.
If filtered ATR remains below EMA: Reduce position size or stay out of trades.
3. Mean Reversion Strategy:
When filtered ATR spikes significantly above EMA, it may indicate market overreaction.
Look for price to revert to the mean once ATR returns below the EMA.
4. Stop-Loss Adjustment:
As volatility increases (ATR above EMA), widen stop-loss levels to avoid being stopped out by random fluctuations.
In low volatility (ATR below EMA), tighten stop-losses to minimize losses during low activity periods.
Benefits:
Reduced Noise: By filtering abnormal bars, the indicator provides cleaner signals.
Better Trend Detection: EMA smoothing highlights volatility trends.
Adaptable: The indicator can be customized for scalping, day trading, or swing trading.
Intuitive Visualization: Traders can visually see volatility shifts and adjust strategies in real-time.
Best Practices:
Timeframes: Works effectively on all timeframes, but higher timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H, Daily) yield more reliable signals.
Markets: Suitable for forex, crypto, stocks, and commodities.
Combining Indicators: Use in combination with RSI, Moving Averages, Bollinger Bands, or price action analysis for stronger signals.
How It Works (Under the Hood):
The script calculates the Daily Range (High - Low) for each bar.
The largest and smallest bars are filtered out if their difference exceeds the multiplier (default 1.8).
The remaining bars are averaged to generate the filtered ATR.
An EMA(10) is then applied to the filtered ATR for smoother visualization.
Dynamic Buy/Sell VisualizationDynamic Trend Visualization Indicator
Description:
This simple and easy to use indicator has helped me stay in trades longer.
This indicator is designed to visually represent potential buy and sell signals based on the crossover of two Simple Moving Averages (SMA). It's crafted to assist traders in identifying trend directions in a straightforward manner, making it an excellent tool for both beginners and experienced traders.
Features:
Customizable Moving Averages: Users can adjust the period length for both short-term (default: 10) and long-term (default: 50) SMAs to suit their trading strategy.
Visual Signals: Dynamic lines appear at the points of SMA crossover, with labels to indicate 'BUY' or 'SELL' opportunities.
Color and Style Customization: Customize the appearance of the buy and sell lines for better chart readability.
Alert Functionality: Alerts are set up to notify users when a crossover indicating a buy or sell condition occurs.
How It Works:
A 'BUY' signal is generated when the short-term SMA crosses above the long-term SMA, suggesting an upward trend.
A 'SELL' signal is indicated when the short-term SMA crosses below the long-term SMA, pointing to a potential downward trend.
Use Cases:
Trend Following: Ideal for markets with clear trends. For example, if trading EUR/USD on a daily chart, setting the short SMA to 10 days and the long SMA to 50 days might help in capturing longer-term trends.
Scalping: In a volatile market, setting shorter periods (e.g., 5 for short SMA and 20 for long SMA) might catch quicker trend changes, suitable for scalping.
Examples of how to use
* Short-term for Quick Trades:
SMA 5 and SMA 21:
Purpose: This combination is tailored for day traders or those looking to engage in scalping. The 5 SMA will react rapidly to price changes, providing early signals for buy or sell opportunities. The 21 SMA, being a Fibonacci number, offers a slightly longer-term view to confirm the short-term trend, helping to filter out minor fluctuations that might lead to false signals.
* Middle-term for Swing Trading:
SMA 10 and SMA 50:
Purpose: Suited for swing traders who aim to capitalize on medium-term trends. The 10 SMA picks up on immediate market movements, while the 50 SMA gives insight into the medium-term direction. This setup helps in identifying when a short-term trend aligns with a longer-term trend, providing a good balance for trades that might last several days to a couple of weeks.
* Long-term Trading:
SMA 50 and SMA 200:
Purpose: Investors focusing on long-term trends would benefit from this pair. The crossover of the 50 SMA over the 200 SMA can indicate the beginning or end of major market trends, ideal for making decisions about long-term holdings that might span months or years.
Example Strategy if not using the Buy / Sell Label Alerts:
Entry Signal: Enter a long position when the shorter SMA crosses above the longer SMA. For example:
SMA 10 crosses above SMA 50 for a medium-term bullish signal.
Exit Signal: Consider exiting or initiating a short position when:
SMA 10 crosses below SMA 50, suggesting a bearish turn in the medium-term trend.
Confirmation: Use these crossovers in conjunction with other indicators like volume or momentum indicators for better confirmation. For instance, if you're using the 5/21 combination, look for volume spikes on crossovers to confirm the move's strength.
When Not to Use:
Sideways or Range-Bound Markets: The indicator might generate many false signals in a non-trending market, leading to potential losses.
High Volatility Without Clear Trends: Rapid price movements without a consistent direction can result in misleading crossovers.
As a Standalone Tool: It should not be used in isolation. Combining with other indicators like RSI or MACD for confirmation can enhance trading decisions.
Practical Example:
Buy Signal: If you're watching Apple Inc. (AAPL) on a weekly chart, a crossover where the 10-week SMA moves above the 50-week SMA could suggest a buying opportunity, especially if confirmed by volume increase or other technical indicators.
Sell Signal: Conversely, if the 10-week SMA dips below the 50-week SMA, it might be time to consider selling, particularly if other bearish signals are present.
Conclusion:
The "Dynamic Trend Visualization" indicator provides a visual aid for trend-following strategies, offering customization and alert features to streamline the trading process. However, it's crucial to use this in conjunction with other analysis methods to mitigate the risks of false signals or market anomalies.

Connors VIX Reversal III invented by Dave LandryThis strategy is based on trading signals derived from the behavior of the Volatility Index (VIX) relative to its 10-day moving average. The rules are split into buying and selling conditions:
Buy Conditions:
The VIX low must be above its 10-day moving average.
The VIX must close at least 10% above its 10-day moving average.
If both conditions are met, a buy signal is generated at the market's close.
Sell Conditions:
The VIX high must be below its 10-day moving average.
The VIX must close at least 10% below its 10-day moving average.
If both conditions are met, a sell signal is generated at the market's close.
Exit Conditions:
For long positions, the strategy exits when the VIX trades intraday below its previous day’s 10-day moving average.
For short positions, the strategy exits when the VIX trades intraday above its previous day’s 10-day moving average.
This strategy is primarily a mean-reversion strategy, where the market is expected to revert to a more normal state after the VIX exhibits extreme behavior (i.e., large deviations from its moving average).

About Connors Research
Connors Research is a financial research firm known for its quantitative research in financial markets. Founded by Larry Connors, the firm specializes in developing high-probability trading systems based on historical market behavior. Connors’ work is widely respected for its data-driven approach, including systems like the RSI(2) strategy, which focuses on short-term mean reversion. The firm also provides trading education and tools for institutional and retail traders alike, emphasizing strategies that can be backtested and quantified.
Risks of the Strategy
While this strategy may appear to offer promising opportunities to exploit extreme VIX movements, it carries several risks:
Market Volatility: The VIX itself is a measure of market volatility, meaning the strategy can be exposed to sudden and unpredictable market swings. This can result in whipsaws, where positions are opened and closed in rapid succession due to sharp reversals in the VIX.
Overfitting: Strategies based on specific conditions like the VIX closing 10% above or below its moving average can be subject to overfitting, meaning they work well in historical tests but may underperform in live markets. This is a common issue in quantitative trading systems that are not adaptable to changing market conditions .
Mean-Reversion Assumption: The core assumption behind this strategy is that markets will revert to their mean after extreme movements. However, during periods of sustained trends (e.g., market crashes or rallies), this assumption may break down, leading to prolonged drawdowns.
Liquidity and Slippage: Depending on the asset being traded (e.g., S&P 500 futures, ETFs), liquidity issues or slippage could occur when executing trades at market close, particularly in volatile conditions. This could increase costs or worsen trade execution.
Scientific Explanation of the Strategy
The VIX is often referred to as the "fear gauge" because it measures the market's expectations of volatility based on options prices. Research has shown that the VIX tends to spike during periods of market stress and revert to lower levels when conditions stabilize . Mean reversion strategies like this one assume that extreme VIX levels are unsustainable in the long run, which aligns with findings from academic literature on volatility and market behavior.
Studies have found that the VIX is inversely correlated with stock market returns, meaning that higher VIX levels often correspond to lower stock prices and vice versa . By using the VIX’s relationship with its 10-day moving average, this strategy aims to capture reversals in market sentiment. The 10% threshold is designed to identify moments when the VIX is significantly deviating from its norm, signaling a potential reversal.
However, academic research also highlights the limitations of relying on the VIX alone for trading signals. The VIX does not predict market direction, only volatility, meaning that it cannot indicate the magnitude of price movements . Furthermore, extreme VIX levels can persist longer than expected, particularly during financial crises.
In conclusion, while the strategy is grounded in well-established financial principles (e.g., mean reversion and the relationship between volatility and market performance), it carries inherent risks and should be used with caution. Backtesting and careful risk management are essential before applying this strategy in live markets.

TASC 2022.08 Trading The Fear Index█ OVERVIEW
TASC's August 2022 edition of Traders' Tips includes an article by Markos Katsanos titled "Trading The Fear Index". This script implements a trading strategy called the “daily long/short trading system for volatility ETFs” presented in this article.
█ CONCEPTS
This long-term strategy aims to capitalize on stock market volatility by using exchange-traded funds (ETFs or ETNs) linked to the VIX index.
The strategy rules (see below) are based on a combination of the movement of the Cboe VIX index, the readings of the stochastic oscillator applied to the SPY ETF relative to the VIX, and a custom indicator presented in the article and called the correlation trend . Thus, they are not based on the price movement of the traded ETF itself, but rather on the movement of the VIX and of the S&P 500 index. This allows the strategy to capture most of the spikes in volatility while profiting from the long-term time decay of the traded ETFs.
█ STRATEGY RULES
Long rules
Rising volatility: The VIX should rise by more than 50% in the last 6 days.
Trend: The correlation trend of the VIX should be 0.8 or higher and also higher than yesterday's value.
VIX-SPY relative position: The 25-day and 10-day VIX stochastics should be above the 25-day and 10-day SPY stochastics respectively. In addition, the 10-day stochastic of the VIX should be above its yesterday's value.
Long positions are closed if the 10-day stochastic of the SPY rises above the 10-day stochastic of the VIX or falls below the yesterday's value.
Short rules
Declining volatility: The VIX should drop over 20% in the last 6 days and should be down during the last 3 days.
VIX threshold: The VIX should spend less than 35% of time below 15.
VIX-SPY relative position: The 10-day VIX stochastic should be below the 10-day SPY stochastic. In addition, the 10-day SPY stochastic should be higher than the yesterday's value.
Long positions are closed if the first two Long rules are triggered (Rising volatility and Trend).
The script allows you to display the readings of the indicators used in the strategy rules in the form of oscillator time series (as in the preview chart) and/or in the form of a table.
[francrypto® strategy] 4 EMAs, P.SAR & Vol.Prof. (by kv4coins)(ENG)
This script consists of my own strategy for cryptocurrency (but can be adapted very well for stocks, forex, etc.)
Is a combination of:
- Four Exponentials Moving Average (EMA), configurables: by defect are 10, 21, 55 and 200 periods in yellow, aqua, orange and blue each of them
- Parabolic SAR System (PSAR), configurable
- Volume Profile (that has been developed by kv4coins - he has already authorized me to use it under the same OSS Licence Terms: MPL 2.0), configurable: with another default values and bilingual support for Spanish (SPA)
How it works
1) It is always better to detect specifics candlesticks or patrons: doji , pinbar or inverted pinbar , engulfing bars , morning star or evening star , harami , twizzer bottom or top , etc.
2) The 10 and 21 periods EMA help to identify the short-term behavior
3) The 55 periods EMA can be used like a support or resistance in medium-term, as 200 periods EMA in very long-term
4) It will convenient search for a double cross (10 & 21) or a triple cross (10, 21 & 55) to determine the medium-term change Downtrend to UpTrend (or viceversa)
5) Confirm the change patron with the Parabolic SAR and then identify potencials purchases or sales
6) Use Volume profile to detect potential supports or resistances areas, in order to set stop limit/loss and take profit orders.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
FRANCRYPTO®

Este script consiste en mi propia estrategia para criptomonedas (pero puede adaptarse muy bien para acciones, forex, etc.)
Es la combinación de:
1) Cuatro Medias Móviles Exponenciales (EMA), configurables: por defecto son de 10, 21, 55 y 200 períodos en amarillo, turquesa, naranja y azul cada una de ellas
2) Sistema Parabolic SAR (PSAR), configurable
3) Perfil de Volumen (que fuera desarrollado por kv4coins - que ya me ha autorizado a su uso bajo las mismas condiciones de la Licencia OSS: MPL 2.0), configurable: con otros valores por defecto y soporte bilingüe para Español (SPA)
Cómo funciona
1) Siempre va a resultar mejor detectar velas japonesas específicas o patrones: doji , martillos o martillos invertidos , velas envolventes , patrón amanecer o atardecer , harami , velas gemelas , etcétera
2) La EMA de 10 y 21 períodos ayudan a identificar el comportamiento de corto plazo
3) La EMA de 55 períodos puede ser usada como un soporte o resistencia de mediano plazo, como así también, la EMA de 200 períodos en el muy largo plazo
4) Será conveniente buscar un doble cruce (10 & 21) o un triple cruce (10, 21 & 55) para determinar un cambio de la tendencia de mediano plazo de bajista hacia alcista (o viceversa)
5) Confirmá el patrón de cambio con la Parabólica de SAR y entonces identificá potenciales compras o ventas
6) Usá el perfil de volumen para detectar las potenciales zonas de soporte o resistencia, principalmente para establecer ordenes stop limit/loss o take profit.
¡Espero que pueda serles de utilidad!

John Carter Pivot Points
This script is based on John Carter Mastering The Trade book. Pivot calculation is based on the previous day high, low, and close.
What Are the Trading Rules for Pivot Buys on Trending Days?
Sells are reversed.
1. Each day I update the appropriate pivot levels on the charts to reflect the previous day’s action. On Mondays, I also
update the weekly pivots, and on the first trading day of a new month, I update the monthly pivots.
2. The first pivot play is done in conjunction with the gap, if there is one. If there is a gap down, then I buy a decline into
the closest pivot level. If there isn’t a playable gap (more than 10 YM points or 1 ES point), then I will wait until
9:45 a.m. eastern to initiate the first play.
3. If the volume on the five-minute ES chart is more than 25,000 contracts, then I’ll wait for the markets to penetrate a
pivot level and move up at least a quarter of the way to the next pivot level. Once this happens, I will then set up a
bid to buy the first retracement back to the violated pivot level.
4. I enter my trades with limit orders only. I place orders “just in front of” the pivot. For the YM, I use 3 points; for the
ES, 0.25 point; for the NQ, 0.50 point; for the TF, 0.20 point; and for individual stocks, 5 cents. For example, if I’m
trading the YM and the pivot level is 10,000, then I would buy a decline to 10,003 and short a rally to 9997
.Sometimes the pivot will be an odd number, such as 1117.38 on the ES. In this case, I always round in the direction of
the trade. So, if I’m bidding for a long, I will round 1117.38 to 1117.50, and my bid will be 1117.75. If I’m offering a
short, I will round 1117.38 down to 1117.25 and place my offer at 1117.00. My stops and targets, then, would be “just
in front of” these appropriate long and short levels.
5. Once filled, I place an order to close the first half at the next pivot level and the second half at the pivot level after
that, using the same “just in front of” parameters.
6. I place a stop at 20 points for the YM, 2 points for the ES, 4 points for the NQ, and 1.50 points for the Russell. For
stocks, I will use a stop based roughly on the price of the stock. If the stock is under $10 a share, I will use a stop of
20 cents. If it is between $10 and $20, I will use a stop of 30 cents; if it is between $20 and $30, I will use a stop of
40 cents, and so on, adding another 10 cents for each $10 increment in price. (A $75 stock would have an 80-cent
stop, for example.)
7. If the first target is hit, I will then move up the stop to my entry-level pivot, minus the “just in front of” fractions
discussed in rule 3. For example, if I get in a YM long at 10,003 and the pivot is at 10,000, then my new stop would
be 9997 once the first target is hit.
8. If I am in a trade at the market close and neither my stop nor my target has been hit, I will close out my position “at the
market” at 4:10 p.m. eastern for futures, and at 3:58 p.m. eastern for stocks.
9. I don’t initiate any new positions after 3:30 p.m. eastern, but I will manage existing positions into the close.
10. The markets rarely have a sustained move above R3 or below S3. If I trade to those levels, I will always fade the
move.
11. After two losers in a row, I’m done with pivots for the day.
What Are the Trading Rules for Pivot Buys on Choppy Days?
Once again, sells are the same, just reversed. The rules for choppy days are identical except for the targets. On choppy days, I
just focus on the YM and the ES. My first target is mechanical: 10 points for the YM and 1 point for the ES on half of my
position. Once this is hit, I will trail up my stop in the same way I would for a trending trade. The second target becomes the
“just in front of” level for the actual next pivot level
Universal Global SessionUniversal Global Session
This Script combines the world sessions of: Stocks, Forex, Bitcoin Kill Zones, strategic points, all configurable, in a single Script, to capitalize the opening and closing times of global exchanges as investment assets, becoming an Universal Global Session .
It is based on the great work of @oscarvs ( BITCOIN KILL ZONES v2 ) and the scripts of @ChrisMoody. Thank you Oscar and Chris for your excellent judgment and great work.
At the end of this writing you can find all the internet references of the extensive documentation that I present here. To maximize your benefits in the use of this Script, I recommend that you read the entire document to create an objective and practical criterion.
All the hours of the different exchanges are presented at GMT -6. In Market24hClock you can adjust it to your preferences.
After a deep investigation I have been able to show that the different world sessions reveal underlying investment cycles, where it is possible to find sustained changes in the nominal behavior of the trend before the passage from one session to another and in the natural overlaps between the sessions. These underlying movements generally occur 15 minutes before the start, close or overlap of the session, when the session properly starts and also 15 minutes after respectively. Therefore, this script is designed to highlight these particular trending behaviors. Try it, discover your own conclusions and let me know in the notes, thank you.
Foreign Exchange Market Hours
It is the schedule by which currency market participants can buy, sell, trade and speculate on currencies all over the world. It is open 24 hours a day during working days and closes on weekends, thanks to the fact that operations are carried out through a network of information systems, instead of physical exchanges that close at a certain time. It opens Monday morning at 8 am local time in Sydney —Australia— (which is equivalent to Sunday night at 7 pm, in New York City —United States—, according to Eastern Standard Time), and It closes at 5pm local time in New York City (which is equivalent to 6am Saturday morning in Sydney).
The Forex market is decentralized and driven by local sessions, where the hours of Forex trading are based on the opening range of each active country, becoming an efficient transfer mechanism for all participants. Four territories in particular stand out: Sydney, Tokyo, London and New York, where the highest volume of operations occurs when the sessions in London and New York overlap. Furthermore, Europe is complemented by major financial centers such as Paris, Frankfurt and Zurich. Each day of forex trading begins with the opening of Australia, then Asia, followed by Europe, and finally North America. As markets in one region close, another opens - or has already opened - and continues to trade in the currency market. The seven most traded currencies in the world are: the US dollar, the euro, the Japanese yen, the British pound, the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar, and the New Zealand dollar.
Currencies are needed around the world for international trade, this means that operations are not dominated by a single exchange market, but rather involve a global network of brokers from around the world, such as banks, commercial companies, central banks, companies investment management, hedge funds, as well as retail forex brokers and global investors. Because this market operates in multiple time zones, it can be accessed at any time except during the weekend, therefore, there is continuously at least one open market and there are some hours of overlap between the closing of the market of one region and the opening of another. The international scope of currency trading means that there are always traders around the world making and satisfying demands for a particular currency.
The market involves a global network of exchanges and brokers from around the world, although time zones overlap, the generally accepted time zone for each region is as follows:
Sydney 5pm to 2am EST (10pm to 7am UTC)
London 3am to 12 noon EST (8pm to 5pm UTC)
New York 8am to 5pm EST (1pm to 10pm UTC)
Tokyo 7pm to 4am EST (12am to 9am UTC)
Trading Session
A financial asset trading session refers to a period of time that coincides with the daytime trading hours for a given location, it is a business day in the local financial market. This may vary according to the asset class and the country, therefore operators must know the hours of trading sessions for the securities and derivatives in which they are interested in trading. If investors can understand market hours and set proper targets, they will have a much greater chance of making a profit within a workable schedule.
Kill Zones
Kill zones are highly liquid events. Many different market participants often come together and perform around these events. The activity itself can be event-driven (margin calls or option exercise-related activity), portfolio management-driven (asset allocation rebalancing orders and closing buy-in), or institutionally driven (larger players needing liquidity to complete the size) or a combination of any of the three. This intense cross-current of activity at a very specific point in time often occurs near significant technical levels and the established trends emerging from these events often persist until the next Death Zone approaches or enters.
Kill Zones are evolving with time and the course of world history. Since the end of World War II, New York has slowly invaded London's place as the world center for commercial banking. So much so that during the latter part of the 20th century, New York was considered the new center of the financial universe. With the end of the cold war, that leadership appears to have shifted towards Europe and away from the United States. Furthermore, Japan has slowly lost its former dominance in the global economic landscape, while Beijing's has increased dramatically. Only time will tell how these death zones will evolve given the ever-changing political, economic, and socioeconomic influences of each region.
Financial Markets
New York
New York (NYSE Chicago, NASDAQ)
7:30 am - 2:00 pm
It is the second largest currency platform in the world, followed largely by foreign investors as it participates in 90% of all operations, where movements on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) can have an immediate effect (powerful) on the dollar, for example, when companies merge and acquisitions are finalized, the dollar can instantly gain or lose value.
A. Complementary Stock Exchanges

B. North American Trading Session
07:00 am - 03:00 pm
(from the beginning of the business day on NYSE and NASDAQ, until the end of the New York session)
New York, Chicago and Toronto (Canada) open the North American session. Characterized by the most aggressive trading within the markets, currency pairs show high volatility. As the US markets open, trading is still active in Europe, however trading volume generally decreases with the end of the European session and the overlap between the US and Europe.
C. Strategic Points
US main session starts in 1 hour
07:30 am
The euro tends to drop before the US session. The NYSE, CHX and TSX (Canada) trading sessions begin 1 hour after this strategic point. The North American session begins trading Forex at 07:00 am.
This constitutes the beginning of the overlap of the United States and the European market that spans from 07:00 am to 10:35 am, often called the best time to trade EUR / USD, it is the period of greatest liquidity for the main European currencies since it is where they have their widest daily ranges.
When New York opens at 07:00 am the most intense trading begins in both the US and European markets. The overlap of European and American trading sessions has 80% of the total average trading range for all currency pairs during US business hours and 70% of the total average trading range for all currency pairs during European business hours. The intersection of the US and European sessions are the most volatile overlapping hours of all.
Influential news and data for the USD are released between 07:30 am and 09:00 am and play the biggest role in the North American Session. These are the strategically most important moments of this activity period: 07:00 am, 08:00 am and 08:30 am.
The main session of operations in the United States and Canada begins
08:30 am
Start of main trading sessions in New York, Chicago and Toronto. The European session still overlaps the North American session and this is the time for large-scale unpredictable trading. The United States leads the market. It is difficult to interpret the news due to speculation. Trends develop very quickly and it is difficult to identify them, however trends (especially for the euro), which have developed during the overlap, often turn the other way when Europe exits the market.
Second hour of the US session and last hour of the European session
09:30 am
End of the European session
10:35 am
The trend of the euro will change rapidly after the end of the European session.
Last hour of the United States session
02:00 pm
Institutional clients and very large funds are very active during the first and last working hours of almost all stock exchanges, knowing this allows to better predict price movements in the opening and closing of large markets. Within the last trading hours of the secondary market session, a pullback can often be seen in the EUR / USD that continues until the opening of the Tokyo session. Generally it happens if there was an upward price movement before 04:00 pm - 05:00 pm.
End of the trade session in the United States
03:00 pm
D. Kill Zones
11:30 am - 1:30 pm
New York Kill Zone. The United States is still the world's largest economy, so by default, the New York opening carries a lot of weight and often comes with a huge injection of liquidity. In fact, most of the world's marketable assets are priced in US dollars, making political and economic activity within this region even more important. Because it is relatively late in the world's trading day, this Death Zone often sees violent price swings within its first hour, leading to the proven adage "never trust the first hour of trading in America. North.

London
London (LSE - London Stock Exchange)

End of the Singapore and Asia sessions
03:00 am
The euro rises almost immediately or an hour after Singapore exits the market.
Middle East Oil Markets Completion Process
05:00 am
Operations are ending in the European-Asian market, at which time Dubai, Qatar and in another hour in Riyadh, which constitute the Middle East oil markets, are closing. Because oil trading is done in US dollars, and the region with the trading day coming to an end no longer needs the dollar, consequently, the euro tends to grow more frequently.
End of the Middle East trading session
06:00 am
E. Kill Zones
5:00 am - 7:00 am
London Kill Zone. Considered the center of the financial universe for more than 500 years, Europe still has a lot of influence in the banking world. Many older players use the European session to establish their positions. As such, the London Open often sees the most significant trend-setting activity on any trading day. In fact, it has been suggested that 80% of all weekly trends are set through the London Kill Zone on Tuesday.

B. Asian Trading Session
06:00 pm - 03:00 am
From the opening of the Tokyo session to the end of the Singapore session
The first major Asian market to open is Tokyo which has the largest market share and is the third largest Forex trading center in the world. Singapore opens in an hour, and then the Chinese markets: Shanghai and Hong Kong open 30 minutes later. With them, the trading volume increases and begins a large-scale operation in the Asia-Pacific region, offering more liquidity for the Asian-Pacific currencies and their crosses. When European countries open their doors, more liquidity will be offered to Asian and European crossings.
C. Strategic Points
Second hour of the Tokyo session
07:00 pm
This session also opens the Singapore market. The commercial dynamics grows in anticipation of the opening of the two largest Chinese markets in 30 minutes: Shanghai and Hong Kong, within these 30 minutes or just before the China session begins, the euro usually falls until the same moment of the opening of Shanghai and Hong Kong.
Second hour of the China session
08:30 pm
Hong Kong and Shanghai start trading and the euro usually grows for more than an hour. The EUR / USD pair mixes up as Asian exporters convert part of their earnings into both US dollars and euros.
Last hour of the Tokyo session
11:00 pm
End of the Tokyo session
12:00 am
If the euro has been actively declining up to this time, China will raise the euro after the Tokyo shutdown. Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore remain open and take matters into their own hands causing the growth of the euro. Asia is a huge commercial and industrial region with a large number of high-quality economic products and gigantic financial turnover, making the number of transactions on the stock exchanges huge during the Asian session. That is why traders, who entered the trade at the opening of the London session, should pay attention to their terminals when Asia exits the market.
End of the Shanghai session
01:00 am
The trade ends in Shanghai. This is the last trading hour of the Hong Kong session, during which market activity peaks.
D. Kill Zones
10:00 pm - 2:00 am
Asian Kill Zone. Considered the "Institutional" Zone, this zone represents both the launch pad for new trends as well as a recharge area for the post-American session. It is the beginning of a new day (or week) for the world and as such it makes sense that this zone often sets the tone for the remainder of the global business day. It is ideal to pay attention to the opening of Tokyo, Beijing and Sydney.

Sidney
Sydney (ASX - Australia Stock Exchange)
06:00 pm - 12:00 am
A. Complementary Stock Exchange
New Zealand (NZX - New Zealand Stock Exchange)
04:00 pm - 10:45 pm
It's where the global trading day officially begins. While it is the smallest of the megamarkets, it sees a lot of initial action when markets reopen Sunday afternoon as individual traders and financial institutions are trying to regroup after the long hiatus since Friday afternoon. On weekdays it constitutes the end of the current trading day where the change in the settlement date occurs.
B. Pacific Trading Session
04:00 pm - 12:00 am
(from the opening of the Wellington session to the end of the Sydney session)
Forex begins its business hours when Wellington (New Zealand Exchange) opens local time on Monday. Sydney (Australian Stock Exchange) opens in 2 hours. It is a session with a fairly low volatility, configuring itself as the calmest session of all. Strong movements appear when influential news is published and when the Pacific session overlaps the Asian Session.
C. Strategic Points
End of the Sydney session
12:00 am

Conclusions
The best time to trade is during overlaps in trading times between open markets. Overlaps equate to higher price ranges, creating greater opportunities.
Regarding press releases (news), it should be noted that these in the currency markets have the power to improve a normally slow trading period. When a major announcement is made regarding economic data, especially when it goes against the predicted forecast, the coin can lose or gain value in a matter of seconds. In general, the more economic growth a country produces, the more positive the economy is for international investors. Investment capital tends to flow to countries that are believed to have good growth prospects and subsequently good investment opportunities, leading to the strengthening of the country's exchange rate. Also, a country that has higher interest rates through its government bonds tends to attract investment capital as foreign investors seek high-yield opportunities. However, stable economic growth and attractive yields or interest rates are inextricably intertwined. It's important to take advantage of market overlaps and keep an eye out for press releases when setting up a trading schedule.

Real Relative Strength Indicator### What is RRS (Real Relative Strength)?
RRS is a volatility-normalized relative strength indicator that shows you – in real time – whether your stock, crypto, or any asset is genuinely beating or lagging the broader market after adjusting for risk and volatility. Unlike the classic “price ÷ SPY” line that gets completely fooled by volatility regimes, RRS answers the only question that actually matters to professional traders:
“Is this ticker moving better (or worse) than the market on a risk-adjusted basis right now?”
It does this by measuring the excess momentum of your ticker versus a benchmark (SPY, QQQ, BTC, etc.) and then dividing that excess by the average volatility (ATR) of both instruments. The result is a clean, centered-around-zero oscillator that works the same way in calm markets, crash markets, or parabolic bull runs.
### How to Use the RRS Indicator (Aqua/Purple Area Version) in Practice
The indicator is deliberately simple to read once you know the rules:
Positive area (aqua) means genuine outperformance.
Negative area (purple) means genuine underperformance.
The farther from zero, the stronger the leadership or weakness.
#### Core Signals and How to Trade Them
- RRS crossing above zero → one of the highest-probability long signals in existence. The asset has just started outperforming the market on a risk-adjusted basis. Enter or add aggressively if price structure agrees.
- RRS crossing below zero → leadership is ending. Tighten stops, take partial or full profits, or flip short if you trade both sides.
- RRS above +2 (bright aqua area) → clear leadership. This is where the real money is made in bull markets. Trail stops, add on pullbacks, let winners run.
- RRS below –2 (bright purple area) → clear distribution or capitulation. Avoid new longs, consider short entries or protective puts.
- Extreme readings above +4 or below –4 (background tint appears) → rare, very high-conviction moves. Treat these like once-a-month opportunities.
- Divergence (not plotted here, but easy to spot visually): price making new highs while the aqua area is shrinking → distribution. Price making new lows while the purple area is shrinking → hidden buying and coming reversal.
#### Best Settings by Style and Asset Class
For stocks and ETFs: keep benchmark as SPY (or QQQ for tech-heavy names) and length 14–20 on daily/4H charts.
For crypto: change the benchmark to BTCUSD (or ETHUSD) immediately — otherwise the reading is meaningless. Length 10–14 works best on 1H–4H crypto charts because volatility is higher.
For day trading: drop length to 10–12 and use 15-minute or 5-minute charts. Signals are faster and still extremely clean.
#### Highest-Edge Setups (What Actually Prints Money)
- RRS crosses above zero while price is still below a major moving average (50 EMA, 200 SMA, etc.) → early leadership, often catches the exact bottom of a new leg up.
- RRS already deep aqua (+3 or higher) and price pulls back to support without RRS dropping below +1 → textbook add-on or re-entry zone.
- RRS deep purple and suddenly turns flat or starts curling up while price is still falling → hidden accumulation, usually the exact low tick.
That’s it. Master these few rules and the RRS becomes one of the most powerful edge tools you will ever use for rotation trading...

📊 MARKET ANALYSIS & TRADING STRATEGIES
1. Support & Resistance Trading
POC as Key Level:
- Price tends to return to POC (magnetic effect)
- Strategy :
- When price is above POC → Look for pullbacks to POC for long entries
- When price is below POC → Look for rallies to POC for short entries
- POC acts as dynamic support/resistance
Value Area Trading:
- Inside Value Area (between VAH & VAL):
- Market is in balance/equilibrium
- Range-bound trading strategies
- Look for mean reversion
- Outside Value Area :
- Price accepted above VAH = Bullish breakout
- Price accepted below VAL = Bearish breakdown
- Trend-following strategies
Example Setup:
Price above VAH + Strong buying delta = Bullish trend
→ Wait for pullback to VAH
→ Enter long with stop below VAH
→ Target: Next HVN or previous session high
2. Volume Node Trading
High Volume Nodes (HVN):
- Characteristics : Strong support/resistance, consolidation zones
- Trading Strategy :
- Price approaching HVN from above → Potential support
- Price approaching HVN from below → Potential resistance
- Breakout from HVN → Strong momentum move
- Setup : Place limit orders at HVN boundaries
Low Volume Nodes (LVN):
- Characteristics : Low liquidity, fast price movement
- Trading Strategy :
- Price in LVN = Don't chase, wait for next HVN
- LVN breakout = Rapid moves, use wider stops
- Price rejection from LVN = Quick return to HVN
- Setup : Avoid placing stops in LVN zones
Example:
Price consolidating at HVN (yellow) near $50,000
→ Breakout above with volume
→ Fast move through LVN (orange) gap
→ Next target: Upper HVN at $51,500
3. Delta Analysis for Entry Timing
Strong Buying Delta (Green zones):
- Δ > +20% = Buyers in control
- Bullish Signal : Accumulation zone
- Strategy : Look for long entries on pullbacks
- Confirmation : Rising price + positive delta
Strong Selling Delta (Red zones):
- Δ < -20% = Sellers in control
- Bearish Signal : Distribution zone
- Strategy : Look for short entries on rallies
- Confirmation : Falling price + negative delta
Delta Divergence (Advanced):
- Bullish Divergence : Price making lower lows, but delta improving (less negative)
- Indicates selling pressure weakening
- Potential reversal signal
- Bearish Divergence : Price making higher highs, but delta weakening (less positive)
- Indicates buying pressure exhausting
- Potential reversal signal
4. Imbalance Zone Trading
Buy Imbalance (Bright Green):
- 70%+ buying pressure
- Interpretation :
- Potential exhaustion of buyers
- Smart money distribution
- Strategy :
- Look for reversal signals (bearish candles, resistance)
- Take profits on long positions
- Consider short entries with confirmation
Sell Imbalance (Bright Red):
- 70%+ selling pressure
- Interpretation :
- Potential exhaustion of sellers
- Smart money accumulation
- Strategy :
- Look for reversal signals (bullish candles, support)
- Take profits on short positions
- Consider long entries with confirmation
Example:
```
Price at VAH with 80% sell imbalance
→ Selling exhaustion likely
→ Wait for bullish reversal candle
→ Enter long with stop below VAL
```
5. Multi-Session Analysis
When "Separate Profiles Per Session" is enabled:
Session-Specific Levels:
- Each session creates its own POC and value area
- Compare sessions to identify:
- Where institutions accumulated/distributed
- Which levels each session respected
- Unfinished business from previous sessions
Trading Strategies:
A. Session POC Confluence
London POC: $49,500
NY POC: $49,550
→ Strong support zone at $49,500-$49,550
→ High probability long setup on pullback
B. Value Area Overlap
London VAH: $50,000
NY VAL: $49,800
→ Overlap creates strong consolidation zone
→ Breakout strategy: Enter on break above $50,000
C. Unfinished Business
London session rejected $51,000 (sell imbalance)
NY session hasn't tested this level yet
→ Watch for NY session to revisit $51,000
→ Potential reversal zone
D. Session Handoff
Tokyo session: Sideways, low volume
London session: Strong buying delta, break above VAH
NY session: Continuation or reversal?
→ Monitor NY open for direction confirmation
6. Market Profile Analysis
Profile Shape Interpretation:
A. P-Shape (Peak at Top)
- High volume at top of range
- Interpretation : Distribution, potential reversal down
- Strategy : Look for shorts at resistance
B. b-Shape (Peak at Bottom)
- High volume at bottom of range
- Interpretation : Accumulation, potential reversal up
- Strategy : Look for longs at support
C. D-Shape (Peak in Middle)
- Balanced profile, POC in center
- Interpretation : Equilibrium, neutral market
- Strategy : Range trading between VAH/VAL
D. Thin Profile (LVN Gap)
- Low volume throughout
- Interpretation : Trending market, little acceptance
- Strategy : Trend following, avoid counter-trend trades

- Keep only POC and Value Area
- Use "Session Background Overlay" instead of separate profiles
For scalping (1-5 min):
- LookBack: 300-500 bars
- Bins: 20-30
- Enable separate session profiles
- Focus on imbalance zones
For swing trading (1H-4H):
- LookBack: 100-200 bars
- Bins: 25-35
- Focus on VAH/VAL and HVN
- Disable session features
For position trading (Daily):
- LookBack: 50-100 bars
- Bins: 30-40
- Focus on weekly/monthly POC
- Compare with previous week profiles
---
📚 ADVANCED CONCEPTS
1. Composite Profiles
- Build profiles across multiple days
- Increase LookBack to 500+ bars on 15-min chart
- Identifies major support/resistance from weeks of data
- Use for swing trading key levels
2. Profile Migration
- Track how POC moves day over day
- Uptrend : POC migrating higher
- Downtrend : POC migrating lower
- Range : POC oscillating in same area
3. Failed Auctions
- Price briefly leaves value area but quickly returns
- Failed auction high : Bearish signal
- Failed auction low : Bullish signal
- Indicates rejection of new price levels
4. Overnight Inventory
- Compare previous day's close to value area
- Close above VAH : Bullish bias for next day
- Close below VAL : Bearish bias for next day

📊 INTEGRATION WITH OTHER INDICATORS
Complementary Indicators:
1. Moving Averages (20/50/200 EMA)
- Use with POC and VAH/VAL
- Confluence with EMAs = stronger levels
2. RSI/Stochastic
- Overbought at resistance (VAH/HVN) = strong short
- Oversold at support (VAL/HVN) = strong long
3. VWAP
- POC often aligns with VWAP
- Deviation from VWAP + Volume Profile = trade setup
4. Order Flow/Footprint Charts
- Confirm delta analysis
- Detailed buyer/seller pressure
5. Market Profile (TPO)
- Similar concept, different visualization
- Use together for complete picture
Example Multi-Indicator Setup:
Price at VAL ✓
+ 200 EMA support ✓
+ RSI oversold (30) ✓
+ Positive delta zone ✓
+ Bullish engulfing candle ✓
= High probability long entry

WASDE Dates V2WASDE Dates V2 – USDA Release Calendar with Alerts, Countdown & Event Markers
By cot-trader.com
WASDE Dates V2 is a complete and reliable visualization tool for all scheduled WASDE (World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates) releases for 2025 and 2026.
The USDA’s WASDE report is one of the most market-moving fundamental catalysts in agricultural futures—affecting Corn (ZC), Wheat (ZW), Soybeans (ZS), Soymeal (ZM), Soybean Oil (ZL), and many related CFD products.
This script gives traders a precise timing layer directly inside their TradingView charts.
🔍 What this script does
WASDE Dates V2 automatically:
Marks each WASDE release day with a vertical line and label.
Shows an automated countdown to the next WASDE release:
In days (>24h)
In hours & minutes (<24h)
Displays an optional table of upcoming WASDE dates for quick reference.
Provides two alert conditions:
WASDE Day Alert – triggers exactly on the event
WASDE 24h Reminder – pre-alert when less than 24 hours remain
Handles both 2025 and 2026 confirmed dates.
Works on any symbol and timeframe.
📌 Why WASDE matters
The WASDE report updates global supply and demand estimates for:
Corn
Soybeans
Wheat
Other major agricultural commodities
Changes in yield, acres, production, imports/exports, and ending stocks can cause immediate and significant volatility.
Many traders combine WASDE awareness with seasonality, COT positioning, volatility filters, or fundamental models.
This script ensures you never miss the timing of these key releases.
⚙️ How the script works
The script stores official USDA WASDE release dates for 2025 and 2026 in two dedicated arrays.
On every bar, it compares the bar’s timestamp with known WASDE timestamps to detect an event day.
When an event occurs:
A red “WASDE” label is plotted above the candle
A dotted vertical line is drawn through the bar
It finds the next upcoming WASDE by scanning forward through both arrays.
A live-updating countdown label is displayed, showing days or hours/minutes until release.
If the event is less than 24 hours away:
A yellow “WASDE soon” warning appears near price
The 24h alert condition becomes active
An optional table lists upcoming events for 2025 & 2026.
This script does not generate trading signals.
It provides a time-based event layer designed to complement any discretionary or algorithmic trading approach.
🧭 How to use
Add the script to your chart.
Enable alerts for:
“WASDE Day Alert”
“WASDE 24h Reminder”
Follow the countdown to prepare for upcoming volatility.
Use together with other agricultural tools such as:
Seasonality indicators
COT (Commitment of Traders) analysis
Trend / VWAP / Volume signals
Pre- and post-WASDE trading strategies
Works on all chart types, all symbols, and all timeframes.

Trend Fib Zone Bounce (TFZB) [KedArc Quant]Description:
Trend Fib Zone Bounce (TFZB) trades with the latest confirmed Supply/Demand zone using a single, configurable Fib pullback (0.3/0.5/0.6). Trade only in the direction of the most recent zone and use a single, configurable fib level for pullback entries.
• Detects market structure via confirmed swing highs/lows using a rolling window.
• Draws Supply/Demand zones (bearish/bullish rectangles) from the latest MSS (CHOCH or BOS) event.
• Computes intra zone Fib guide rails and keeps them extended in real time.
• Triggers BUY only inside bullish zones and SELL only inside bearish zones when price touches the selected fib and closes back beyond it (bounce confirmation).
• Optional labels print BULL/BEAR + fib next to the triangle markers.
What it does
Finds structure using confirmed swing highs/lows (you choose the confirmation length).
Builds the latest zone (bullish = demand, bearish = supply) after a CHOCH/BOS event.
Draws intra-zone “guide rails” (Fib lines) and extends them live.
Signals only with the trend of that zone:
BUY inside a bullish zone when price tags the selected Fib and closes back above it.
SELL inside a bearish zone when price tags the selected Fib and closes back below it.
Optional labels print BULL/BEAR + Fib next to triangles for quick context
Why this is different
Most “zone + fib + signal” tools bolt together several indicators, or fire counter-trend signals because they don’t fully respect structure. TFZB is intentionally minimal:
Single bias source: the latest confirmed zone defines direction; nothing else overrides it.
Single entry rule: one Fib bounce (0.3/0.5/0.6 selectable) inside that zone—no counter-trend trades by design.
Clean visuals: you can show only the most recent zone, clamp overlap, and keep just the rails that matter.
Deterministic & transparent: every plot/label comes from the code you see—no external series or hidden smoothing
How it helps traders
Cuts decision noise: you always know the bias and the only entry that matters right now.
Forces discipline: if price isn’t inside the active zone, you don’t trade.
Adapts to volatility: pick 0.3 in strong trends, 0.5 as the default, 0.6 in chop.
Non-repainting zones: swings are confirmed after Structure Length bars, then used to build zones that extend forward (they don’t “teleport” later)
How it works (details)
*Structure confirmation
A swing high/low is only confirmed after Structure Length bars have elapsed; the dot is plotted back on the original bar using offset. Expect a confirmation delay of about Structure Length × timeframe.
*Zone creation
After a CHOCH/BOS (momentum shift / break of prior swing), TFZB draws the new Supply/Demand zone from the swing anchors and sets it active.
*Fib guide rails
Inside the active zone TFZB projects up to five Fib lines (defaults: 0.3 / 0.5 / 0.7) and extends them as time passes.
*Entry logic (with-trend only)
BUY: bar’s low ≤ fib and close > fib inside a bullish zone.
SELL: bar’s high ≥ fib and close < fib inside a bearish zone.
*Optionally restrict to one signal per zone to avoid over-trading.
(Optional) Aggressive confirm-bar entry
When do the swing dots print?
* The code confirms a swing only after `structureLen` bars have elapsed since that candidate high/low.
* On a 5-min chart with `structureLen = 10`, that’s about 50 minutes later.
* When the swing confirms, the script plots the dot back on the original bar (via `offset = -structureLen`). So you *see* the dot on the old bar, but it only appears on the chart once the confirming bar arrives.
> Practical takeaway: expect swing markers to appear roughly `structureLen × timeframe` later. Zones and signals are built from those confirmed swings.
Best timeframe for this Indicator
Use the timeframe that matches your holding period and the noise level of the instrument:
* Intraday :
* 5m or 15m are the sweet spots.
* Suggested `structureLen`:
* 5m: 10–14 (confirmation delay \~50–70 min)
* 15m: 8–10 (confirmation delay \~2–2.5 hours)
* Keep Entry Fib at 0.5 to start; try 0.3 in strong trends, 0.6 in chop.
* Tip: avoid the first 10–15 minutes after the open; let the initial volatility set the early structure.
* Swing/overnight:
* 1h or 4h.
* `structureLen`:
* 1h: 6–10 (6–10 hours confirmation)
* 4h: 5–8 (20–32 hours confirmation)
* 1m scalping: not recommended here—the confirmation lag relative to the noise makes zones less reliable.
Inputs (all groups)
Structure
• Show Swing Points (structureTog)
o Plots small dots on the bar where a swing point is confirmed (offset back by Structure Length).
• Structure Length (structureLen)
o Lookback used to confirm swing highs/lows and determine local structure. Higher = fewer, stronger swings; lower = more reactive.
Zones
• Show Last (zoneDispNum)
o Maximum number of zones kept on the chart when Display All Zones is off.
• Display All Zones (dispAll)
o If on, ignores Show Last and keeps all zones/levels.
• Zone Display (zoneFilter): Bullish Only / Bearish Only / Both
o Filters which zone types are drawn and eligible for signals.
• Clean Up Level Overlap (noOverlap)
o Prevents fib lines from overlapping when a new zone starts near the previous one (clamps line start/end times for readability).
Fib Levels
Each row controls whether a fib is drawn and how it looks:
• Toggle (f1Tog…f5Tog): Show/hide a given fib line.
• Level (f1Lvl…f5Lvl): Numeric ratio in . Defaults active: 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 (0 and 1 off by default).
• Line Style (f1Style…f5Style): Solid / Dashed / Dotted.
• Bull/Bear Colors (f#BullColor, f#BearColor): Per-fib color in bullish vs bearish zones.
Style
• Structure Color: Dot color for confirmed swing points.
• Bullish Zone Color / Bearish Zone Color: Rectangle fills (transparent by default).
Signals
• Entry Fib for Signals (entryFibSel): Choose 0.3, 0.5 (default), or 0.6 as the trigger line.
• Show Buy/Sell Signals (showSignals): Toggles triangle markers on/off.
• One Signal Per Zone (oneSignalPerZone): If on, suppresses additional entries within the same zone after the first trigger.
• Show Signal Text Labels (Bull/Bear + Fib) (showSignalLabels): Adds a small label next to each triangle showing zone bias and the fib used (e.g., BULL 0.5 or BEAR 0.3).
How TFZB decides signals
With trend only:
• BUY
1. Latest active zone is bullish.
2. Current bar’s close is inside the zone (between top and bottom).

Right-Panel Swing Log (Table)
What it is
A compact, auto-updating log of the most recent Swing High/Low events, printed in the top-right of the chart.
It helps you see when a pivot formed, when it was confirmed, and at what price—so you know the earliest bar a zone-based signal could have appeared.
Columns
Type – Swing High or Swing Low.
Date – Calendar date of the swing bar (follows the chart’s timezone).
Swing @ – Time of the original swing bar (where the dot is drawn).
Confirm @ – Time of the bar that confirmed that swing (≈ Structure Length × timeframe after the swing). This is also the earliest moment a new zone/entry can be considered.
Price – The swing price (high for SH, low for SL).
Why it’s useful
Clarity on repaint/confirmation: shows the natural delay between a swing forming and being usable—no guessing.
Planning & journaling: quick reference of today’s pivots and prices for notes/backtesting.
Scanning intraday: glance to see if you already have a confirmed zone (and therefore valid fib-bounce entries), or if you’re still waiting.
Context for signals: if a fib-bounce triangle appears before the time listed in Confirm @, it’s not a valid trade (you were too early).
Settings (Inputs → Logging)
Log swing times / Show table – turn the table on/off.
Rows to keep – how many recent entries to display.
Show labels on swing bar – optional tags on the chart (“Swing High 11:45”, “Confirm SH 14:15”) that match the table.
Recommended defaults
• Structure Length: 10–20 for intraday; 20–40 for swing.
• Entry Fib for Signals: 0.5 to start; try 0.3 in stronger trends and 0.6 in choppier markets.
• One Signal Per Zone: ON (prevents over trading).
• Zone Display: Both.
• Fib Lines: Keep 0.3/0.5/0.7 on; turn on 0 and 1 only if you need anchors.
Alerts
Two alert conditions are available:
• BUY signal – fires when a with trend bullish bounce at the selected fib occurs inside a bullish zone.
• SELL signal – fires when a with trend bearish bounce at the selected fib occurs inside a bearish zone.
Create alerts from the chart’s Alerts panel and select the desired condition. Use Once Per Bar Close to avoid intrabar flicker.
Notes & tips
• Swing dots are confirmed only after Structure Length bars, so they plot back in time; zones built from these confirmed swings do not repaint (though they extend as new bars form).
• If you don’t see a BUY where you expect one, check: (1) Is the active zone bullish? (2) Did the candle’s low actually pierce the selected fib and close above it? (3) Is One Signal Per Zone suppressing a second entry?
• You can hide visual clutter by reducing Show Last to 1–3 while keeping Display All Zones off.
Glossary
• CHOCH (Change of Character): A shift where price breaks beyond the last opposite swing while local momentum flips.
• BOS (Break of Structure): A cleaner break beyond the prior swing level in the current momentum direction.
• MSS: Either CHOCH or BOS – any event that spawns a new zone.
Extension ideas (optional)
• Add fib extensions (1.272 / 1.618) for target lines.
• Zone quality score using ATR normalization to filter weak impulses.
• HTF filter to only accept zones aligned with a higher timeframe trend.
