Niv Deal + Previ D W M + OPR + Asian🧭 Indicator Description (English)
Name: Niveaux Dealers + Previous D/W/M Auto + OPR + Asian Session
Platform: TradingView (Pine Script v6)
Type: Multi-module visual indicator for market structure and session ranges
🧩 Overview
This indicator combines three complementary modules to help traders visualize key market levels, opening ranges, and session dynamics — all in one comprehensive tool.
It is designed primarily for index and futures trading (e.g. NQ, ES, DAX), but can be applied to any market or timeframe.
MODULE 1 — Dealers Levels + Previous High/Low (Auto)
This first module automatically extracts and plots custom Dealer Levels and Previous Period Levels.
It can parse manually entered price levels (from a single text input) such as daily max/min, control levels, put supports, and call resistances — then draw horizontal lines and labels on the chart.
Features:
One text input for all dealer levels (easy copy-paste format).
Automatic parsing of prices from text (ignores irrelevant characters).
Groups of levels:
Maxima (Max 1D / Event / Extreme)
Minima (Min 1D / Event / Extreme)
Buyer/Seller Controls
Put Supports and Call Resistances
Independent color, style, and width for each line.
Transparent rectangular labels positioned perfectly on the levels.
Previous Daily, Weekly, and Monthly High/Low levels added automatically.
Optional summary table showing all levels and values in real time.
MODULE 2 — OPR (Opening Price Range)
The second module highlights the Opening Price Range, defined by the first 15 minutes (or any chosen period) of the trading session.
Features:
Fully configurable start and end time (local chart timezone).
Displays:
High, Low, and Midline (median)
Optional rectangle between high/low
Optional labels on each line
Independent color, line style, and thickness.
Works perfectly with non-standard sessions (e.g. 13:30–22:00 UTC for U.S. futures).
Uses local chart time instead of exchange time for intuitive control.
MODULE 3 — Asian Session Range
The third module draws the Asian trading session range, automatically detecting price action between configurable hours (default 17:00 → 01:00).
Features:
Adjustable start and end time (supports overnight sessions).
Plots Asian High, Asian Low, and Asian Middle (mid-range line).
Highlights the Asian box area with semi-transparent color.
Optional labels at the end of each level.
Fully synchronized with the chart’s local timezone (same logic as OPR).
Simple toggle to enable or disable the entire Asian module.
⚙️ Customization & Display
Each module can be toggled independently.
Colors, line styles (solid, dashed, dotted), and thickness are customizable.
Label visibility and extensions (left/right) can be adjusted.
The indicator is lightweight and optimized for real-time performance.
💡 Use Case
Traders can use this multi-module setup to:
Identify dealer reaction zones and institutional levels.
Track previous highs/lows for potential liquidity sweeps.
Monitor session ranges (Opening and Asian) for volatility shifts.
Combine all three perspectives (Dealer, Session, Historical) into one unified view.

Swing AURORA v4.0 — Refined Trend Signals### Swing Algo v4.0 — Refined Trend Signals
#### Overview
Swing Algo v4.0 is an advanced technical indicator designed for TradingView, built to detect trend changes and provide actionable buy/sell signals in various market conditions. It combines multiple technical elements like moving averages, ADX for trend strength, Stochastic RSI for timing, and RSI divergence for confirmation, all while adapting to different timeframes through auto-tuning. This indicator overlays on your chart, highlighting trend regimes with background colors, displaying buy/sell labels (including "strong" variants), and offering early "potential" signals for proactive trading decisions. It's suitable for swing trading, trend following, or as a filter for other strategies across forex, stocks, crypto, and other assets.
#### Purpose
The primary goal of Swing Algo v4.0 is to help traders identify high-probability trend reversals and continuations early, reducing noise and false signals. It aims to provide clear, non-repainting signals that align with market structure, volatility, and momentum. By incorporating filters like higher timeframe (HTF) alignment, bias EMAs, and divergence, it refines entries for better accuracy. The indicator emphasizes balanced performance across aggressive, balanced, and conservative modes, making it versatile for both novice and experienced traders seeking to optimize their decision-making process.
#### What It Indicates
- **Trend Regimes (Background Coloring)**: The chart background changes color to reflect the current market regime:
- **Green (Intense for strong uptrends, faded when cooling)**: Indicates bullish trends where price is above the baseline and EMAs are aligned upward.
- **Red/Maroon (Intense maroon for strong downtrends, faded red when cooling)**: Signals bearish trends with price below the baseline and downward EMA alignment.
- **Faded Yellow**: Marks "no-trade" zones or potential trend changes, where conditions are choppy, weak, or neutral (e.g., low ADX, near baseline, or low volatility).
- **Buy/Sell Signals**: Labels appear on the chart for confirmed entries:
- "BUY" or "STRONG BUY" for bullish signals (strong variants require higher scores and optional divergence).
- "SELL" or "STRONG SELL" for bearish signals.
- **Potential Signals**: Early warnings like "Potential BUY" or "Potential SELL" appear before full confirmation, allowing traders to anticipate moves (confirmed after a few bars based on the trigger window).
- **Divergence Marks**: Small "DIV↑" (bullish) or "DIV↓" (bearish) labels highlight RSI divergences on pivots, adding confluence for strong signals.
- **Lines**: Optional plots for baseline (teal), EMA13/21 (lime/red based on crossover), providing visual trend context.
Signals are anchored either to the current bar or confirmed pivots, ensuring alignment with price action. The indicator avoids repainting by confirming on close if enabled.
#### Key Parameters and Customization
Swing Algo v4.0 offers minimal yet efficient parameters for fine-tuning, with defaults optimized for common use cases. Most can be auto-tuned based on timeframe for simplicity:
- **Confirm on Close (no repaint)**: Boolean (default: true) – Ensures signals don't repaint by waiting for bar confirmation.
- **Auto-tune by Timeframe**: Boolean (default: true) – Automatically adjusts lengths and sensitivity for 5-15m, 30-60m, 2-4h, or higher frames.
- **Mode**: String (options: Aggressive, Balanced , Conservative) – Controls signal thresholds; Aggressive for more signals, Conservative for fewer but higher-quality ones.
- **Signal Anchor**: String (options: Pivot (divLB) , Current bar) – Places labels on confirmed pivots or the current bar.
- **Trigger Window (bars)**: Integer (default: 3) – Window for signal timing; auto-tuned if enabled.
- **Baseline Type**: String (options: HMA , EMA, ALMA) – Core trend line; lengths auto-tune (e.g., 55 for short frames).
- **Use Bias EMA Filter**: Boolean (default: false) – Adds a long-term EMA for trend bias.
- **Use HTF Filter**: Boolean (default: false) – Aligns with higher timeframe (auto or manual like 60m, 240m, D); override for stricter scoring.
- **Sensitivity (10–90)**: Integer (default: 55) – Adjusts ADX threshold for trend detection; higher = more sensitive.
- **Use RSI-Stoch Trigger**: Boolean (default: true) – Enables Stochastic RSI for entry timing; customizable lengths, smooths, and levels.
- **Use RSI Divergence for STRONG**: Boolean (default: true) – Requires divergence for strong signals; pivot lookback (default: 5).
- **Visual Options**: Booleans for background regime, labels, divergence marks, and lines (all default: true).
These parameters are grouped for ease, with tooltips in TradingView for quick reference. Start with defaults and tweak based on backtesting.
#### How It Works
At its core, Swing Algo v4.0 calculates a baseline (e.g., HMA) to define the trend direction. It then scores potential buys/sells using factors like:
- **Trend Strength**: ADX above a dynamic threshold, combined with EMA crossovers (13/21) and slope analysis.
- **Volatility/Volume**: Bollinger/Keltner squeeze exits, volume z-score, and ATR filters to avoid choppy markets.
- **Timing**: Stochastic RSI crossovers or micro-timing via DEMA/TEMA for precise entries.
- **Filters**: Bias EMA, HTF alignment, gap from baseline, and no-trade zones (weak ADX, near baseline, low vol).
- **Divergence**: RSI pivots confirm strong signals.
- **Scoring**: Buy/sell scores (min 3-5 based on mode) trigger labels only when all gates pass, with early "potential" detection for foresight.
The algorithm processes these in real-time, auto-adapting to timeframe for efficiency. Signals flip only on direction changes to prevent over-trading. For best results, use on liquid assets and combine with risk management.

EMAs de JahazielThis indicator displays seven Exponential Moving Averages (EMA 5, 6, 9, 20, 50, 100, and 200) to help identify short-, medium-, and long-term market trends.
When shorter EMAs (5, 6, 9) cross above longer EMAs (50, 100, 200), it suggests increasing bullish momentum and potential uptrend continuation.
Conversely, when shorter EMAs cross below longer EMAs, it indicates potential bearish momentum and a possible downtrend.
📈 The combination of these EMAs helps traders visualize market structure, momentum shifts, and key dynamic support/resistance levels.
🧠 Suitable for scalping, intraday trading, swing trading, or confirming higher time frame trends across any market — Forex, indices, crypto, or commodities.
Volume Exponential Moving Averages (EMA)
Description:
This script is a simple script that plots a desired exponential moving average of buy and sell volume as a line chart with a tunable smoothing factor. There is a highlight on the plot area of either green or red to denote if the EMA of buy volume or sell volume is of a higher value. This indicator uses basic math of exponential averages and calculates volume using the formulas: "buy volume" = the product of total volume and the "closing price" minus the "low price" divided by "high price" minus the "low price" for a specific candle. Conversely, "sell volume" = the product of "total volume" and the "high price" minus the "close price" divided by "high price" minus the "low price" for a specific candle.
Utility:
This indicator is an effective way to gauge the acceleration/ deceleration of buyers and sellers in the market and can be used in combination with market structure and important levels to understand if buyers or sellers are taking over at any given time.
How to use this indicator:
There are two settings for this indicator:
1. The Length of the EMA: The length of the EMA can be adjusted based on your preference for a running number of candles' data. If you are interested to know short term changes in volume (e.g. over the past few candles at a major level) you can adjust this setting lower (~3-9 length). Conversely, if you are interested in volume trends over a greater number of candles you can increase this to your liking.
Personal preference : Because I am a short term daytrader/ scalper, I keep this setting at 6 length to see immediate changes in the acceleration or deceleration of buyers/ sellers.
2. The Smoothing Factor: The smoothing factor can be adjusted to further tune the size of trend you are interested in with 1 = No smoothing of the EMA line. Smoothing of the EMA line increases as the value for smoothing increases, resulting in a less volatile, more smooth EMA line. However, the more smooth the line, the less sensitive the EMA will be to immediate changes in volume pace. The less smoothing factor is applied, the more volatile data will be, resulting in quicker observation of shorter term trends. Again the same rules apply as the EMA length as these are similar in function: If you are interested to know short term changes in volume (e.g. over the past few candles at a major level) you can adjust this setting lower (~2-6). Conversely, if you are interested in volume trends over a greater number of candles you can increase this to your liking.
Personal preference : Because I am a short term daytrader/ scalper, I keep this setting at 2-4 smoothing factor to see immediate changes in the acceleration or deceleration of buyers/ sellers.
You should, of course, play with these settings to your exact preferences based on your trading style.
Tips for using this indicator:
General Use:
When the buy volume EMA is moving up, buyers are increasing the pace of buying and when the buy volume EMA is moving down, buyers are decreasing the pace of buying. Conversely, when the sell volume EMA is moving up, sellers are increasing the pace of selling and when the sell volume EMA is moving down, sellers are decreasing the pace of selling. The overall movement of the stock is relative to the combination of these rates. e.g. If both buyers and sellers are increasing at the same rate (EMAs slopes are roughly equal) there will be not a large change in price. If the slope of the buy volume EMA is greater than the slope of sell volume EMA, the price should move up. Conversely, if the slope of the sell volume EMA is greater than the slope of buy volume EMA, the price should move down.
Predicting pullbacks, reversals, and continuations:
This indicator allows you to see if buyers or sellers are increasing their pace, even if the stock price is in consolidation. This allows you to predict if out of the consolidation buyers or sellers are likely to win based on the momentum of the volume in consolidation. e.g. If price is in consolidation after an uptrend and the buy volume EMA starts to decrease, this could be a sign that buyers are running out of steam at this price level. Another example, If at a major support the buy volume EMA begins to trend up then buyers are accelerating the pace of buying at this level.
EMA crosses: There is something to be said about the point at which the buy volume EMA and sell volume EMA cross. This signifies that at this moment there is a shift in which the acceleration of one party outpaces that of the other and can result in increased speed of the movement of the stock price.
Considerations
Because volume changes constantly, this indicator is best to identify short term changes in volume that could impact price movements. It is not guaranteed to continue just because buyers or sellers have had a change in pace. Therefore it is advised to use this indicator in combination with significant price levels such as pivot points, or price levels from volume profile tools to identify the price zones where significant volume changes are likely to impact price movements. It is also advised to continue to monitor the changes in pace in buyers and sellers using this volume EMA indicator to determine if a change in pace is short lived or if it will continue for a longer duration.

Fractals & SweepThe Fractals & Sweep indicator is designed to identify key market structure points (fractals) and detect potential liquidity sweeps around those areas. It visually highlights both Bill Williams fractals and regular fractals, and alerts the user when the market sweeps liquidity above or below the most recent fractal levels.
Fractal Recognition:
Detects both bullish (low) and bearish (high) fractals on the price chart.
Users can choose between:
Bill Williams fractal logic (default), or
Regular fractal logic (when the “Filter Bill Williams Fractals” option is enabled).
Fractals are plotted directly on the chart as red downward triangles for highs and green upward triangles for lows.
Fractal Tracking:
The indicator stores the most recent high and low fractal levels to serve as reference points for potential sweep detection.
Sweep Detection:
A bearish sweep is triggered when the price wicks above the last fractal high but closes below it — suggesting a liquidity grab above resistance.
A bullish sweep is triggered when the price wicks below the last fractal low but closes above it — suggesting a liquidity grab below support.
When a sweep occurs, the indicator draws a horizontal line from the previous fractal point to the current bar.
Alert System:
Custom alerts notify the trader when a bearish sweep or bullish sweep occurs, allowing for timely reactions to potential reversals or liquidity traps.

ICT Suspension BlocksICT Suspension Block (SB) Indicator
The ICT Suspension Block (SB) is a three-candle price action pattern that often act as support or resistance zones. A Suspension Block is a three-candle pattern showing a brief pause in price efficiency before continuation. These zones frequently serve as areas where price may later return, offering traders potential trading opportunities.
Pattern Definition
A Suspension Block forms when three consecutive candles move in the same direction but leave behind a specific body-to-body imbalance. (a gap between the bodies of consecutive candles).
Bullish Suspension Block (+SB):
All three candles are bullish (close > open).
Candle 1 close < Candle 2 open.
Candle 2 close < Candle 3 open.
Zone = from Candle 1 close to Candle 3 open.
Bearish Suspension Block (-SB):
All three candles are bearish (close < open).
Candle 1 close > Candle 2 open.
Candle 2 close > Candle 3 open.
Zone = from Candle 1 close to Candle 3 open.
These zones mark areas where price was temporarily imbalanced. Price often “respects” these levels later, either bouncing from them or breaking through them, which can provide valuable trade context.
Application
Suspension Blocks are used to mark areas where price may later react:
A Bullish SB can act as potential support.
A Bearish SB can act as potential resistance.
The significance of a block depends on market context. Blocks formed during strong, impulsive moves tend to be more meaningful than those in consolidation.
How the Indicator Works
Identifies bullish and bearish suspension blocks using body gap imbalances.
Draws colored zones (green = bullish, red = bearish) directly on the chart.
Extends zones forward until they are inversed by price action.
Once inversed, zones switch to a neutral color, allowing traders to annotate/extend them manually if desired.
Includes Consequent Encroachment (CE) lines (the 50% equilibrium of the block), which many traders use as reaction levels.
Features
Customizable colors for bullish, bearish, and inversed zones
Extend blocks indefinitely forward or limit them to a set number of bars
Adjustable maximum number of displayed blocks for performance control
Consequent Encroachment (CE) (Middle Point, 50%, Equilibrium) line feature
Configurable CE line style, color, and width
How to Use It
Trend Following: Blocks forming in the direction of trend can act as continuation zones.
Reversals: Opposite-direction blocks may signal exhaustion and potential turning points.
Liquidity Levels: CE lines (50% of block) often serve as reaction levels for entries, partials, or stop placement.
Context is Key: Suspension Blocks should not be used in isolation. Combine them with market structure, liquidity pools, or other confluence factors for best results.
Notes
This indicator is intended for technical analysis and research.
It should always be combined with proper risk management and a complete trading plan.
Past market behavior does not guarantee future results.
Smooth Cloud + ZigZag VPOC CORE v6📌 Description

Perfect for identifying key institutional support/resistance zones and potential reversal areas.
Dynamic Volume Trace Profile [ChartPrime]⯁ OVERVIEW
Dynamic Volume Trace Profile is a reimagined take on volume profile analysis. Instead of plotting a static horizontal histogram on the side of your chart, this indicator projects dynamic volume trace lines directly onto the price action. Each bin is color-graded according to its relative strength, creating a living “volume skeleton” of the market. The orange trace highlights the current Point of Control (POC)—the price level with maximum historical traded volume within the lookback window. On the right side, the tool builds a mini profile, showing absolute volume per bin alongside its percentage share, where the POC always represents 100% strength .
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Dynamic On-Chart Bins:
The range between highest high and lowest low is split into 25 bins. Each bin is drawn as a horizontal trace line across the lookback chart period.
Gradient Color Encoding:
Trace lines fade from transparent to teal depending on relative volume size. The more intense the teal, the stronger the historical traded activity at that level.
Automatic POC Highlight:
The bin with the highest aggregated volume is flagged with an orange line . This POC adapts bar-by-bar as volume distribution shifts.
Right-Side Volume Profile:
At the chart’s right edge, the script prints a box-style profile. Each bin shows:
• Total volume (absolute units).
• Percentage of max volume, in parentheses (POC bin = 100%).
This gives both raw and normalized context at a glance.
Adjustable Lookback Window:
The lookback defines how many bars feed the profile. Increase for stable HTF zones or decrease for responsive intraday distributions.
POC Toggle & Styling:
Optionally toggle POC highlighting on/off, adjust colors, and set line thickness for better integration with your chart theme.
⯁ HOW IT WORKS (UNDER THE HOOD)
Step Sizing:
over last 100 bars is divided by to calculate bin height.
Volume Aggregation:
For each bar in the , the script checks which bin the close falls into, then adds that bar’s volume to the bin’s counter.
Gradient Mapping:
Bin volume is normalized against the max volume across all bins. That value is mapped onto a gradient from transparent → teal.
POC Logic:
The bin with highest volume is colored orange both on the dynamic trace and in the right-side profile.
Right-Hand Profile:
Boxes are drawn for each bin proportional to volume / maxVolume × 50 units, with text labels showing both absolute volume and normalized %.
⯁ USAGE
Use the orange trace as the dominant “magnet” level—price often gravitates to the POC.
Watch for clusters of strong teal traces as areas of high acceptance; thin or faint zones mark low-liquidity gaps prone to fast moves.
On intraday charts, tighten lookback to reveal session-based distributions . For swing or position trading, expand lookback to surface more durable volume shelves.
Compare the right-side profile % to judge how “top-heavy” or “bottom-heavy” the current distribution is.
Use bright, intense color traces as context for confluence with structure, OBs, or liquidity hunts.
⯁ CONCLUSION
Dynamic Volume Trace Profile takes the traditional volume profile and fuses it into the body of price itself. Instead of a fixed sidebar, you see gradient traces layered directly on the chart, giving real-time context of where volume concentrated and where price may be drawn. With built-in POC highlighting, normalized % readouts, and an adaptive right-side profile, it offers both precision levels and market structure awareness in a cleaner, more intuitive form.
Breaout and followthroughThis indicator is designed to identify and highlight a single, powerful entry signal at the beginning of a new trend. It filters for high-volatility breakout bars that show strong directional conviction, helping traders catch the initial momentum of a potential move. It will only paint one bullish or bearish signal after a trend change is detected, preventing repeat signals during a sustained move.
Core Concept
The indicator combines four key concepts to generate high-probability signals:
Trend Direction: It first establishes the overall trend (bullish or bearish) using a configurable Exponential or Simple Moving Average (EMA/SMA).
Volatility Expansion: It looks for bars with a larger-than-average range by comparing the bar's size to the Average True Range (ATR). This helps identify moments of increased market interest.
Closing Strength (IBS): It uses the Internal Bar Strength (IBS) to measure directional conviction. A high IBS (closing near the top) suggests bullish strength, while a low IBS (closing near the bottom) suggests bearish pressure.
Breakout Confirmation: As an optional but powerful filter, it can confirm the signal by ensuring the bar is breaking above the high or below the low of a user-defined number of previous bars.
A signal is only generated on the first bar that meets all these criteria after the price crosses the trend-defining moving average, making it ideal for capturing the start of a new swing.
Features
Bullish Signals (Green): Highlights the first bar in an uptrend that is larger than the ATR, closes with a high IBS (>70), and optionally breaks out above the recent highs.
Bearish Signals (Red): Highlights the first bar in a downtrend that is larger than the ATR, closes with a low IBS (<30), and optionally breaks out below the recent lows.
"First Signal Only" Logic: The script is hard-coded to show only the initial signal in a new trend, filtering out noise and redundant signals.
Fully Customizable Trend Filter:
Choose between EMA or SMA for trend definition.
Set the MA length (default is a short-term 7-period MA).
Option to show or hide the moving average on the chart.
Optional Breakout Filter:
Enable or disable the requirement for the signal bar to break the high/low of previous bars.
Customize the lookback period for the breakout confirmation.
How to Use
This indicator can be used as a primary signal for a trend-following or momentum-based trading system.
Look for a Green Bar (Bullish Signal): This suggests the start of a potential uptrend. Consider it a signal for a long entry. A logical stop-loss could be placed below the low of the highlighted signal bar.
Look for a Red Bar (Bearish Signal): This suggests the start of a potential downtrend. Consider it a signal for a short entry. A logical stop-loss could be placed above the high of the highlighted signal bar.
Adjust Settings: Use the settings menu to configure the indicator to your preferred market and timeframe. A longer Trend MA Length will result in fewer, more long-term signals, while a shorter length will be more responsive.
As with any tool, this indicator is best used in conjunction with other forms of analysis, such as market structure, support/resistance levels, and proper risk management.
HTF Control Shift CandlesHTF Control Shift Candles highlights reversal-type candles that show a decisive shift in market control between buyers and sellers. These candles are detected by measuring wick length relative to the entire range and the close’s position within that range. A bullish control shift occurs when a candle forms with a long lower wick and closes in the top portion of its range, showing strong rejection of lower prices and a buyer takeover. A bearish control shift occurs when a candle forms with a long upper wick and closes in the bottom portion of its range, showing rejection of higher prices and a seller takeover. Candles are automatically recolored for fast visual recognition, and alerts are built in so traders never miss a potential shift in control.
This tool is specifically designed for 30-minute and higher timeframes, where control shift candles carry greater significance for swing and intraday setups. Inputs allow you to adjust wick percentage (wickPct) and body percentage (bodyPct) thresholds for different levels of sensitivity. For example, with wickPct = 0.5 and bodyPct = 0.3, a bullish control shift requires the lower wick to be at least 50% of the entire range and the close to finish in the top 30%. By tuning these values, traders can refine the detection for different volatility regimes or personal trading strategies.
Bar Close Confirmation Only
This indicator confirms signals only after the candle has closed. The calculation requires final values for open, high, low, and close, which are not fixed until the bar finishes forming. That means no mid-bar or intrabar repainting — alerts and highlights trigger only once the bar is complete. For example, if a candle temporarily has a long lower wick but closes back in the middle of its range, it will not be marked as a bullish control shift. This ensures accuracy by waiting for the final candle close before confirming that buyers or sellers truly maintained control.
Control shift candles can be especially useful around liquidity sweeps, support/resistance zones, or after extended moves, as they often mark key turning points. A bullish control shift near demand may provide an early entry confirmation for longs, while a bearish control shift at supply may signal short opportunities or exits from longs. This makes the indicator a versatile tool for anticipating reversals, timing entries with precision, and filtering signals on higher timeframes where market structure shifts are most impactful.
Dominance Signal Apex [CHE]]Dominance Signal Apex — Triple-confirmed entry markers with stateful guardrails
Summary
This indicator focuses on entry timing by plotting markers only when three conditions align: a closed-bar Heikin-Ashi bias, a monotonic stack of super-smoother filters, and the current HMA slope. A compact state machine provides guardrails: it starts a directional state on closed-bar Heikin-Ashi bias, maintains it only while the smoother stack remains ordered, and renders a marker only if HMA slope agrees. This design aims for selective signals and reduces isolated prints during mixed conditions. Markers fade over time to visualize the age and persistence of the current state.
Motivation: Why this design?
Common triggers flip frequently in noise or react late when regimes shift. The core idea is to gate entry markers through a closed-bar state plus independent filter alignment. The state machine limits premature prints, removes markers when alignment breaks, and uses the HMA as a final directional gate. The result is fewer mixed-context entries and clearer clusters during sustained trends.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Reference baseline: Single moving-average slope or classic MA cross signals.
Architecture differences:
Multi-length two-pole super-smoother stack with strict ordering checks.
Closed-bar Heikin-Ashi bias to start a directional state.
HMA slope as a final gate for rendering markers.
Time-based alpha fade to surface state age.
Practical effect: Entry markers appear in clusters during aligned regimes and are suppressed when conditions diverge, improving selectivity.
How it works (technical)
Measurements: Four recursive super-smoother series on price at short to medium horizons. Up regime means each shorter smoother sits below the next longer one; down regime is the inverse.
State machine: On bar close, positive Heikin-Ashi bias starts a bull state and negative bias starts a bear state. The state terminates the moment the smoother ordering breaks relative to the prior bar.
Rendering gate: A marker prints only if the active state agrees with the current HMA slope. The HMA is plotted and colored by slope for context.
Normalization and clamping: Marker transparency transitions from a starting to an ending alpha across a fixed number of bars, clamped within the allowed range.
Initialization: Persistent variables track state and bar-count since state start; Heikin-Ashi open is seeded on the first valid bar.
HTF/security: None used. State updates are closed-bar, which reduces repaint paths.
Bands: Smoothed high, low, centerline, and offset bands are computed but not rendered.
Parameter Guide
Show Markers — Toggle rendering — Default: true — Hides markers without changing logic.
Bull Color / Bear Color — Visual colors — Defaults: bright green / red — Aesthetic only.
Start Alpha / End Alpha — Transparency range — Defaults: one hundred / fifty, within zero to one hundred — Controls initial visibility and fade endpoint.
Steps — Fade length in bars — Default: eight, minimum one — Longer values extend the visual memory of a state.
Smoother Length — Internal band smoothing — Default: twenty-one, minimum two — Affects computed bands only; not drawn.
Band Multiplier — Internal band offset — Default: one point zero — No impact on markers.
Source — Input for HMA — Default: close — Align with your workflow.
Length — HMA length — Default: fifty, minimum one — Larger values reduce flips; smaller values react faster.
Reading & Interpretation
Entry markers:
Bull marker (below bar): Closed-bar Heikin-Ashi bias is positive, smoother stack remains aligned for up regime, and HMA slope is rising.
Bear marker (above bar): Closed-bar Heikin-Ashi bias is negative, smoother stack remains aligned for down regime, and HMA slope is falling.
Fade: Transparency progresses over the configured steps, indicating how long the current state has persisted.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Focus on marker clusters aligned with HMA color. Add structure filters such as higher highs and higher lows or lower highs and lower lows to avoid counter-trend entries.
Exits/Stops: Consider exiting or reducing risk when smoother ordering breaks, when HMA color flips, or when marker cadence thins out.
Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Suitable for liquid crypto, FX, indices, and equities. On lower timeframes, shorten HMA length and fade steps for faster response.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint/confirmation: State transitions and marker eligibility are decided on closed bars; live bars do not commit state changes until close.
security()/HTF: Not used.
Resources: Declared max bars back of one thousand five hundred; recursive filters and persistent states; no explicit loops.
Known limits: Some delay around sharp turns; brief states may start in noisy phases but are quickly revoked when alignment fails; HMA gating can miss very early reversals.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start here: Keep defaults.
Too many flips: Increase HMA length and raise fade steps.
Too sluggish: Decrease HMA length and reduce fade steps.
Markers too faint/bold: Adjust start and end alpha toward lower or higher opacity.

ICT 369 Sniper MSS Indicator (HTF Bias) - H2LThis script is an ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concept-based trading indicator designed to identify high-probability reversal or continuation setups, primarily focusing on intraday trading using a Higher Timeframe (HTF) directional bias.
Here are the four core components of the indicator:
Higher Timeframe (HTF) Bias Filter (Market Structure Shift - MSS): It determines the overall trend by checking if the current price has broken the most recent high or low swing point of a larger timeframe (e.g., 4H). This establishes a Bullish or Bearish bias, ensuring trades align with the dominant trend.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) and OTE: It identifies price imbalances (FVGs) and calculates the Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) levels (50%, 62%, 70.5%, etc.) within those gaps, looking for price to retrace into these specific areas.
Kill Zones (Timing): It incorporates specific time windows (London and New York Kill Zones, based on NY Time) where institutional trading activity is high, only allowing entry signals during these defined periods.
Signal and Targets: It triggers a Long or Short signal when all criteria are met (HTF Bias, FVG, OTE retracement, and Kill Zone timing). It then calculates and plots suggested trade levels, including a Stop Loss (SL) and three Take Profit targets (TP1, TP2, and a dynamic Runner Target based on the weekly Average True Range or ATR).
In summary, it's a comprehensive tool for traders following ICT principles, automating the confluence check across trend, structure, liquidity, and timing.
Momentum Volume Analyzer [CHE] Momentum Volume Analyzer — Adaptive momentum with volume-gated signals and expressive visual cues
Summary
This indicator combines a normalized momentum oscillator with a volume Z-score gate and adaptive gradient visuals. The oscillator centers around a midline and scales between a lower and an upper bound. Intensity is derived from the distance to the midline and is normalized inside a rolling window, which helps keep contrast consistent across regimes. Volume pressure is compressed to a discrete level between one and ten and is used to qualify momentum flips and extremes. Layered “burst” markers and optional background gradients provide immediate visual emphasis without adding new data sources. Pine version is v6. The script runs in a separate pane.
Motivation: Why this design?
Common oscillators flip rapidly during noisy conditions or flatten during calm periods, which obscures actionable shifts. A rolling normalization keeps the visual intensity stable across different regimes, and a volume gate reduces reactions when participation is weak. The goal is clearer momentum shifts that are supported by measurable activity rather than cosmetic smoothing alone.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline reference: Classical RSI-style oscillators or simple filtered momentum without volume gating.
Architecture differences:
Local window normalization with gamma control for contrast.
Volume converted to a Z-score and compressed into a discrete level between one and ten with a configurable cap.
Directional color gradients that intensify with distance from the midline.
Layered glow markers with optional trail and an internal label budget to avoid UI overload.
Practical effect: Signals are visually stronger only when both momentum and volume align; background and line colors convey regime strength at a glance.
How it works (technical)
Momentum core: A high-pass path with automatic gain control produces a bounded oscillator centered around a midline. A simple moving average smooths the result over a short window.
Normalization and contrast: The absolute distance from the midline is scaled inside a rolling window and limited between zero and one. Two gamma parameters separately shape contrast for the line and for labels.
Coloring: When the oscillator is above the midline, a green gradient is used; below the midline, a red gradient is used. Intensity increases with normalized distance. Optional area fill to the midline and a background gradient reinforce strength.
Volume levels: Volume is standardized over a lookback window, clipped by a user cap, and mapped to a level between one and ten. Only positive excursions are considered; non-positive values map to zero.
Event markers: When the oscillator reaches extreme zones and the volume level is positive, the script spawns layered circular labels at fixed y-positions. A small trail can extend behind the event. An internal queue discards the oldest labels when a user-defined maximum is exceeded.
Alerts: Alerts fire on overbought and oversold spikes, midline shifts with minimum intensity and volume, and continuation patterns inside strong zones.
Parameter Guide
TFRSI length (default six): Core momentum lookback. Shorter values react faster but are less stable.
Signal SMA (default two): Light smoothing of the oscillator. Larger values reduce jitter.
Gradient window (default one hundred): Normalization window for intensity. Longer values produce steadier contrast but slower adaptation.
Line/marker transparency (default zero): Visual prominence of drawings. Higher values reduce dominance.
Background on and BG transparency (defaults true and eighty-five): Enables and tunes the pane background gradient.
Area fill to fifty and Fill transparency (defaults true and eighty): Fills between the oscillator and the midline.
Gamma bars/labels and Gamma plot (defaults zero point seven and zero point eight): Contrast shapers for markers and line. Higher values compress low intensities.
Bottom marker and Show last N (defaults true and three hundred thirty-three): Optional compact heat markers with a display cap.
Up/Down colors: Dark and neon pairs for positive and negative regimes.
Lookback (default two hundred) and Z cap (default five): Volume standardization window and clipping level before scaling to one through ten.
Enable bursts, Layers, Trail, Trail transparency, Max live labels, Size scale: Control the layered glow effect, trail length, opacity, label budget, and size multiplier. Reducing the size scale lowers visual dominance.
Spike min level, Shift min level, Min intensity, Rise/Fall length: Gates for alerts; adjust to balance sensitivity and false positives.
Reading & Interpretation
Line color and intensity: Green shades above the midline indicate bullish pressure; red shades below indicate bearish pressure. Stronger color corresponds to stronger normalized distance.
Background and fill: Reinforce regime strength; consider reducing transparency when the pane feels too busy.
Bursts and trails: Emphasize volume-backed extremes. Larger bursts reflect stronger volume levels or scaling choices.
Volume level: Internal level between one and ten. Levels near the upper bound signal exceptional activity.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Use midline cross upward with minimum shift level and intensity as a trigger. Confirm with structure such as higher highs and higher lows. For shorts, reverse the conditions.
Exits and risk: Fade exposure when intensity weakens toward the midline or when volume level drops below the shift threshold. Consider disabling bursts when monitoring many symbols.
Multi-asset and multi-timeframe: Defaults are designed to travel across liquid futures, large-cap equities, and major crypto pairs. For higher timeframes, increase the lookback window and consider reducing the Z cap.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint and confirmation: Signals are evaluated on the live bar. They can appear and withdraw before bar close. For confirmed signals, require closed-bar alerts or manual confirmation.
Higher-timeframe sources: Not used. No `security` calls.
Resources: `max_bars_back` is two thousand. The script uses arrays and label objects, including loops for trails. The label budget mitigates clutter.
Known limits: Very illiquid symbols with unstable volume can reduce the usefulness of the Z-score. Sharp regime changes can still produce brief flips.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Starting point: TFRSI length six, Signal two, Gradient window one hundred, Z cap five, Spike level six, Shift level four, Min intensity zero point four, Rise length three, Size scale zero point five.
Too many flips: Increase Signal, increase Gradient window, or raise Shift level.
Too sluggish: Decrease TFRSI length or reduce Gradient window.
Bursts too dominant: Lower Size scale or reduce Layers; increase Trail transparency or set Trail length to zero.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a visualization and signal layer that couples momentum with a volume gate and adaptive visuals. It is not a complete trading system, optimizer, or predictor. Use it together with market structure, risk controls, and position management.

Bollinger Bands (SMA 21, 2.618σ)Indicator Description: Bollinger Bands (2.618σ, 21 SMA) + RSI with Fibonacci
This custom indicator combines Bollinger Bands and Relative Strength Index (RSI), enhanced with Fibonacci-based configurations, to provide confluence signals for rejection candles, reversal setups, and continuation patterns.
Bollinger Bands Settings (Customized)
Middle Band → 21-period Simple Moving Average (SMA)
Upper Band → SMA + 2.618 standard deviations
Lower Band → SMA − 2.618 standard deviations
These parameters expand the bands compared to the traditional (20, 2.0) settings, making them better suited for volatility extremes and higher timeframe swing analysis.
Color Scheme
Middle Band = Orange
Upper Band = Red
Lower Band = Green
This color-coding emphasizes key rejection levels visually.
Candle Rejection Logic
The indicator is designed to highlight potential rejection candles when price interacts with the outer Bollinger Bands:
At the Upper Band, rejection signals suggest overextension and potential downside reaction.
At the Lower Band, rejection signals suggest oversold conditions and potential upside reaction.
Rejection Candle Types Tracked
Hammer (bullish reversal, lower rejection wick at bottom band)
Inverted Hammer (bearish reversal, upper rejection wick at top band)
Doji candles (indecision at band extremes)
Double Top formations near the upper band
Double Bottom formations near the lower band
Relative Strength Index (RSI) Settings
RSI is configured with Fibonacci retracement levels instead of traditional 30/70 thresholds.
Fibonacci sequence levels used include:
23.6% (0.236)
38.2% (0.382)
50% (0.5)
61.8% (0.618)
78.6% (0.786)
This alignment with Fibonacci ratios provides deeper market structure insights into momentum strength and exhaustion points.
Trading Confluence Zones
Upper Band + RSI at 0.618–0.786 zone → High probability bearish rejection.
Lower Band + RSI at 0.236–0.382 zone → High probability bullish reversal.
Band interaction + Doji or Hammer candles → Stronger signal confirmation.
Use Cases
Identifying trend exhaustion when price repeatedly fails to break above the upper band.
Spotting accumulation or distribution phases when price consolidates around Fibonacci-based RSI zones.
Detecting false breakouts when candle patterns (like Doji or Inverted Hammer) occur beyond the bands.
Why 2.618 Deviation & 21 SMA?
Standard Bollinger Bands (20, 2.0) capture ~95% of price action.
By widening to 2.618σ, we target extreme volatility outliers — areas where reversals are statistically more likely.
A 21-period SMA aligns better with common cycle lengths (3 trading weeks on daily charts) and Fibonacci-related time cycles.
Practical Strategy
Step 1: Watch when price touches or pierces the upper/lower band.
Step 2: Check for candle rejection patterns (Hammer, Inverted Hammer, Doji, Double Top/Bottom).
Step 3: Confirm with RSI Fibonacci levels for confluence.
Step 4: Trade with the prevailing trend or look for reversal setups if multiple confluence factors align.
Cautions
Not all touches of the bands signal reversals — strong trends can ride along the bands for extended periods.
Always combine with price action structure, volume, and higher timeframe trend bias.
📌 Summary
This indicator blends volatility-based bands with Fibonacci momentum analysis and classical candle rejection patterns. The combination of Bollinger Bands (21, 2.618σ) and RSI Fibonacci levels helps traders detect high-probability rejection zones, reversal opportunities, and overextended conditions with improved accuracy over traditional default settings.

3. Distance to Next Value Level
NEVER enter if price is too close to major resistance/support levels:
- Check distance to round numbers (1.1000, 1.1050, etc.)
- Ensure at least 20-30 pips room to next key level
- You need space for profit - tight levels = limited upside
4. Risk Management
- Stop Loss: 1-2 ATR from entry
- Take Profit: 2-3 ATR target (minimum 1:2 R/R)
- Position Size: Risk max 1-2% per trade
## 💡 Pro Tips
- Best Sessions: London open (8-12 UTC) and NY open (13-17 UTC)
- Avoid: Major news, low liquidity periods, choppy markets
- Multiple Timeframes: Confirm signals on higher timeframe
- Value Levels: Always check daily/weekly support/resistance before entering
## 🎯 Success Formula
Trend Confirmation + Strong Institutional Candle + Distance to Value Levels = High Probability Trade
