## What This Indicator Does
The **Unmitigated MTF High Low v2.0** tracks unmitigated (untouch) high and low levels across multiple timeframes, helping you identify key support and resistance zones that the market hasn't revisited yet. Think of it as a sophisticated memory system for price action - it remembers where price has been, and more importantly, where it *hasn't been back to*.
### Why "Unmitigated" Matters
In futures trading, especially on instruments like NQ and ES, the market has a tendency to revisit levels where liquidity was left behind. An "unmitigated" level is one that hasn't been touched since it was formed. These levels often act as magnets for price, and understanding their age and proximity gives you a significant edge in:
- **Entry timing** - Waiting for price to approach tested levels
- **Exit planning** - Taking profits before ancient resistance/support
- **Risk management** - Avoiding entries when approaching multiple old levels
- **Liquidity mapping** - Visualizing where orders likely cluster
---
## Core Concepts
### 1. **Sessions & Age**
The indicator uses **New York trading sessions** (6:00 PM to 5:59 PM NY time) as the primary time measurement. This aligns with how futures markets naturally segment their activity.
**Age Categories:**
- 🟢 **New (0-1 sessions)** - Fresh levels, recently formed
- 🟡 **Medium (2-3 sessions)** - Tested by time, gaining significance
- 🔴 **Old (4-6 sessions)** - Highly significant, survived multiple days
- 🟣 **Ancient (7+ sessions)** - Extreme significance, major support/resistance
The longer a level remains unmitigated, the more significant it becomes. Think of it like compound interest - time adds weight to these zones.
### 2. **Multi-Timeframe Tracking**
You can set the indicator to track high/low levels from any timeframe (default is 15 minutes). This means you're watching for unmitigated 15-minute highs and lows while trading on, say, a 1-minute or 5-minute chart.
**Why this matters:**
- Higher timeframe levels have more weight
- You can see multiple timeframe structure simultaneously
- Helps you avoid fighting larger timeframe momentum
### 3. **Mitigation**
A level becomes "mitigated" (deactivated) when price touches it:
- **High levels** are mitigated when price reaches or exceeds them
- **Low levels** are mitigated when price reaches or goes below them
Once mitigated, the level disappears from view. The indicator only shows you the untouch levels that still matter.

## The Cave Diving Framework
This indicator is designed around the **Cave Diving Trading Framework** - a psychological and technical approach that maps cave diving safety protocols to futures trading risk management.
### 🤿 The Core Metaphor
**Cave diving has clear danger zones based on depth and overhead environment. Your trading should too.**
#### Shallow Water (New Levels, 0-1 Sessions)
- **Light**: Bright colors (bright red highs, bright green lows)
- **Psychology**: Fresh territory, recently tested
- **Trading**: Be aware but not overly concerned
- **Cave Diving Parallel**: You can see the surface, easy exit
#### Penetration Depth (Medium Levels, 2-3 Sessions)
- **Light**: Medium intensity colors
- **Psychology**: Building significance, market memory forming
- **Trading**: Start respecting these levels for entries/exits
- **Cave Diving Parallel**: Deeper in, need to track your line back
#### Deep Dive Zone (Old Levels, 4-6 Sessions)
- **Light**: Dark colors (deep maroon, dark blue)
- **Psychology**: Highly tested support/resistance
- **Trading**: Major decision points, plan accordingly
- **Cave Diving Parallel**: Significant overhead, careful navigation required
#### Overhead Environment (Ancient Levels, 7+ Sessions)
- **Light**: Very dark, purple/deep teal
- **Psychology**: Extreme caution required, major liquidity zones
- **Trading**: These are your "turn back" signals - don't fight ancient levels
- **Cave Diving Parallel**: Maximum danger, no room for error
### 🎯 The Proximity Alert System
Just like a cave diver's depth gauge that warns at critical thresholds, the proximity alerts (⚠️) tell you when you're entering a danger zone. When price gets within your configured threshold (default 5 points), the indicator:
- Highlights the level in **yellow** on the chart
- Shows **⚠️** in the table
- Signals: "You're entering a high-significance zone - adjust your position accordingly"
This prevents the trading equivalent of going deeper into a cave without checking your air supply.

## How to Use It for Trading
### 🎯 Entry Strategies
**1. The "Bounce Setup" (Mean Reversion)**
- Wait for price to approach an old or ancient unmitigated level
- Look for confluence: multiple levels nearby, bands narrowing
- Enter when price shows rejection (reversal candle patterns)
- **Example**: Price drops to a 6-session-old low, shows bullish engulfing → Long entry
**2. The "Break and Retest" (Trend Following)**
- Wait for price to break through an unmitigated level (mitigates it)
- Enter on the retest of the newly broken level
- **Example**: Price breaks above 4-session-old high → Wait for pullback to that level → Long entry
**3. The "Tunnel Trade" (Range Trading)**
- When bands are active, trade the range between 1st-2nd levels
- Short near upper band resistance, long near lower band support
- Exit at opposite side or when bands break
### 🚨 Risk Management Rules
**The Ancient Level Rule**
> Never fight ancient levels (7+ sessions). If you're long and approaching an ancient high, take profits. If you're short and approaching an ancient low, take profits.
These levels have survived a full trading week without being touched - there's likely significant liquidity and institutional interest there.
**The Proximity Exit Rule**
> When you see ⚠️ proximity alerts on multiple levels above/below your position, tighten stops or scale out.
This is your "overhead environment" warning. You're in dangerous territory.
**The New Level Filter**
> Be cautious taking positions based solely on new levels (0-1 sessions). Wait for them to age or combine with other confluence.
Fresh levels haven't been tested by time. They're like unconfirmed support/resistance.
### 📊 Reading Market Structure
**Bullish Structure (🟢 in status row)**
- Unmitigated lows are aging and holding
- Price respecting the lower band
- Old lows below acting as strong support
- **Bias**: Look for long entries at lower levels
**Bearish Structure (🔴 in status row)**
- Unmitigated highs are aging and holding
- Price respecting the upper band
- Old highs above acting as strong resistance
- **Bias**: Look for short entries at higher levels
**The Tunnel Compression**
- When the Δ (delta) in the status row is small, levels are tight
- This often precedes a breakout
- **Trading**: Wait for breakout direction, then trade the break
### 🔄 Strat Integration
The indicator shows Strat patterns in the status row:
- **1** - Inside bar (consolidation)
- **2U** - Broke high only (bullish)
- **2D** - Broke low only (bearish)
- **3** - Broke both (wide range, volatility)
Use these with the unmitigated levels:
- **2U near old high** → Potential resistance, watch for rejection
- **2D near old low** → Potential support, watch for bounce
- **3 pattern** → High volatility, respect wider stops

## Best Practices
### 🎯 Position Management
**1. Scaling In Near Old Levels**
```
Price approaching 5-session-old low:
- First position: 30% size at proximity alert (⚠️)
- Second position: 40% size at exact level
- Third position: 30% size if it shows strong rejection
```
**2. Scaling Out Near Ancient Levels**
```
Holding long position, approaching 8-session-old high:
- Exit 50% at proximity alert (⚠️)
- Exit 30% at exact level
- Trail stop on remaining 20%
```
### 🧠 Trading Psychology Integration
Drawing from principles in *The Mountain Is You*, this indicator helps you:
**1. Recognize Self-Sabotage Patterns**
- **The Premature Entry**: Entering before price reaches your planned level
- **Solution**: Set alerts at unmitigated levels, wait for proximity warnings
- **The Profit-Taking Problem**: Exiting too early from fear
- **Solution**: Identify the next unmitigated level and commit to holding until proximity alert
- **The Loss Holding**: Refusing to exit losing trades
- **Solution**: When price breaks through and mitigates your entry level, it's telling you the structure changed
**2. Building Better Habits**
The color-coded age system trains your brain to:
- Respect levels that have proven themselves over time
- Distinguish between noise (new levels) and structure (old levels)
- Make decisions based on objective data, not fear or greed
**3. Emotional Regulation**
The proximity alerts serve as:
- **Circuit breakers** - Forcing you to re-evaluate before dangerous zones
- **Permission to act** - Giving you objective signals to exit without second-guessing
- **Validation** - Confirming when you're in alignment with market structure
### 📝 Pre-Market Routine
**Daily Setup Checklist:**
1. ✅ Identify the 3 nearest unmitigated highs above current price
2. ✅ Identify the 3 nearest unmitigated lows below current price
3. ✅ Note which are ancient (7+) - these are your "no-go" zones
4. ✅ Check the tunnel width (Δ in status row) - tight or wide?
5. ✅ Set alerts at the 1st high and 1st low for proximity warnings
6. ✅ Plan: "If we go up, I exit at ___. If we go down, I enter at ___."
### 🔄 Timeframe Confluence
**Multi-Timeframe Strategy:**
Run the indicator on **three instances**:
- **15-minute** (short-term structure)
- **1-hour** (intermediate structure)
- **4-hour** (major structure)
**Strong Setup**: When all three timeframes show unmitigated levels converging at the same price zone.
**Example:**
- 15m: Old low at 21,400
- 1H: Ancient low at 21,398
- 4H: Ancient low at 21,395
- **Result**: 21,395-21,400 is a monster support zone
### ⚠️ What This Indicator Doesn't Do
**Not a Crystal Ball**
- It doesn't predict where price will go
- It shows you where price *hasn't been* and how long it's been avoided
- The trading decisions are still yours
**Not an Entry Signal Generator**
- It provides context and structure
- You need to combine it with your entry methodology (price action, indicators, order flow, etc.)
**Not Foolproof**
- Ancient levels get broken
- Proximity alerts can trigger early in strong trends
- The market doesn't "owe" you a reversal at any level
---
## Common Scenarios
### Scenario 1: "Level Cluster Ahead"
**Situation**: You're long at 21,400. The table shows:
- 1st High: 21,425 (2 sessions old)
- 2nd High: 21,428 (3 sessions old)
- 3rd High: 21,435 (6 sessions old)
**Interpretation**: There's a resistance cluster just 25-35 points away. The 6-session-old level is particularly significant.
**Action**:
- Set first profit target at 21,420 (before the cluster)
- Set second target at 21,426 (between 1st and 2nd)
- Trail remaining position, but be ready to exit on rejection at 21,435
**Cave Diving Analogy**: You're approaching an overhead section with limited clearance. Lighten your load (reduce position) before entering.
---
### Scenario 2: "Ancient Level Approaches"
**Situation**: The market is grinding higher. You see ⚠️ appear next to a 9-session-old high at 21,500.
**Interpretation**: This level has survived over a week without being touched. Massive potential liquidity zone.
**Action**:
- If long, this is your absolute exit zone. Take profits before or at level.
- If looking to short, wait for clear rejection (price taps and reverses)
- Don't try to buy the breakout until it clearly breaks and retests
**Cave Diving Analogy**: Your dive computer is beeping - you've reached your planned turn-back depth. No matter how interesting it looks ahead, honor your plan.
---
### Scenario 3: "Mitigated Levels Create New Structure"
**Situation**: Price breaks and mitigates the 1st High. The previous 2nd High becomes the new 1st High.
**Interpretation**: The structure just shifted. What was the 2nd level is now most relevant.
**Action**:
- Watch how price reacts to the newly-mitigated level
- If it holds below (acts as resistance), bearish
- If it reclaims and holds above (acts as support), bullish
- The NEW 1st High is your next target/resistance
**Cave Diving Analogy**: You've passed through a restriction - the cave layout ahead is different now. Update your mental map.
---
### Scenario 4: "Tight Tunnel, Upcoming Breakout"
**Situation**: The Δ in the status row shows 3.25 points (very tight). Bands are converging.
**Interpretation**: Price is consolidating between very close unmitigated levels. Breakout likely.
**Action**:
- Don't try to predict direction
- Set alerts above 1st High and below 1st Low
- When break occurs, trade the retest
- Expect volatility - use wider stops
**Cave Diving Analogy**: You're in a narrow passage. Movement will be sudden and directional once it starts.
---
### Scenario 5: "Imbalanced Structure"
**Situation**: The statistics row shows "📊 22↑ / 7↓"
**Interpretation**: There are many more unmitigated highs than lows. This suggests:
- Price has been declining (hitting lows, leaving highs behind)
- Potential bullish reversal zone (lots of overhead supply mitigated)
- Or continued bearish structure (resistance everywhere above)
**Action**:
- Look at the age of those 22 highs
- If mostly new (0-2 sessions): Just a recent downmove, not significant yet
- If many old/ancient: Strong overhead resistance, be cautious on longs
- Compare to price action: Is price respecting the remaining lows?
**Cave Diving Analogy**: You've swam deeper than your starting point - most of your markers are above you now. Are you planning the ascent or going deeper?
---
## Final Thoughts: The Philosophy
This indicator is built on a simple but powerful principle: **The market has memory, and that memory has weight.**
Every unmitigated level represents:
- Liquidity left behind
- Orders waiting to be filled
- Institutional interest potentially parked
- Psychological significance for participants
The longer a level remains unmitigated, the more "charged" it becomes. When price finally revisits it, something significant usually happens - either a strong reversal or a definitive break.
Your job as a trader isn't to predict which outcome will occur. Your job is to:
1. **Recognize** when you're approaching these charged zones
2. **Respect** them by adjusting position size and risk
3. **React** appropriately based on how price behaves at them
4. **Remember** that ancient levels (like ancient wisdom) deserve extra reverence
The Cave Diving Framework embedded in this indicator serves as a constant reminder: Trading, like cave diving, requires rigorous respect for environmental hazards, meticulous planning, and the discipline to turn back when your limits are reached.
**Every proximity alert is the market asking you**: *"Do you really want to go deeper?"*
Sometimes the answer is yes - when your setup, confluence, and risk management all align.
Often, the answer should be no - and that's the trader avoiding the accident that would have happened to the gambler.

Auto-Anchored Fibonacci Volume Profile [Custom Array Engine]Description:
1. The Theoretical Foundation: Structure vs. Participation In professional technical analysis, traders often struggle to reconcile two distinct datasets: Price Geometry (where price should go) and Market Participation (where money actually went).
Why Fibonacci? (The Structure) Fibonacci Retracements map the mathematical structure of a trend. They identify psychological and algorithmic "interest zones" (0.382, 0.5, 0.618) where a correction is statistically likely to terminate. However, Fibonacci levels are theoretical—they are "lines in the sand" that do not guarantee liquidity or reaction.
Why Volume Profile? (The Verification) Volume Profile maps the historical exchange of shares at specific price levels. It reveals "fair value" (High Volume Nodes) and "market imbalance" (Low Volume Nodes). It is the only tool that verifies if a specific price level was actually accepted by institutional participants.
2. Underlying Calculations (The Custom Engine) This script operates on a custom-built calculation engine that bypasses standard built-in functions entirely. It uses Pine Script Arrays to build a Volume Profile from scratch. Here is the breakdown of the proprietary code logic:
A. The "Smart-Fill" Distribution Algorithm (Solves Gapping)
The Problem: Standard volume scripts often assign a candle's entire volume to a single price row. In volatile markets or steep trends, this creates visual "gaps" or a "barcode" effect because price moved too fast to register on every row.
My Solution: I wrote a custom loop that calculates the vertical overlap of every candle against the profile grid.
The Math: Volume Per Bin = Total Candle Volume / Bins Touched.
The Result: If a single volatile candle spans 10 price rows (bins), the script mathematically divides that volume and distributes it equally into all 10 array indices. This generates a solid, continuous distribution curve that accurately reflects price action through the entire candle range, not just the close.
B. Dynamic Arrays & Split-Volume Logic The script initializes two separate floating-point arrays (buyVolArray and sellVolArray) sized to the user's resolution (up to 300 rows). It iterates through the specific time-window of the swing:
If Close >= Open, the calculated volume slice is injected into the Buy Array.
If Close < Open, it is injected into the Sell Array.
These arrays are then visually stacked to render the dual-color profile, allowing traders to see the "Delta" (Buyer vs. Seller aggression) at key structural levels.
C. Custom Garbage Collection (Performance) To enable the "Auto-Anchoring" feature without causing chart lag or visual artifacts ("ghosting"), the script includes a Garbage Collection System. Before drawing a new profile, the script iterates through a tracking array of all existing objects (box.delete, line.delete) and clears them from memory. This ensures the indicator remains lightweight and responsive even when dragging chart margins or switching timeframes.
3. The Synthesis: Why Combine Them? The core philosophy of this script is Confluence . A Fibonacci level without volume is merely a suggestion; a Fibonacci level backed by volume is a defensive wall. By algorithmically anchoring a Volume Profile to the exact coordinates of a Fibonacci swing, this tool allows traders to instantly answer critical questions:
"Is the Golden Pocket (0.618) supported by a High Volume Node (HVN), or is it a Low Volume Node (LVN) that price might slice through?"
"Is the Shallow Retracement (0.382) holding because of structural support, or just a lack of selling pressure?"
4. How to Read the Indicator
The Geometry: The script automatically detects the trend and draws standard Fib levels (0, 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786, 1.0).
The Confluence Check: Look for the Point of Control (Red Line). If this High Volume Node aligns with a key Fib level (e.g., the 0.618), the probability of a reversal increases significantly.
The Imbalance Check: Look for "Valleys" in the profile (Low Volume Nodes). These gaps often act as "slippage zones" where price travels quickly between structural levels.
Buy/Sell Splits: The dual-color bars (Teal/Red) reveal the composition of the volume. A 0.618 level held up by dominant Buy Volume is a stronger bullish signal than one with mixed volume.
5. Settings & Customization
Lookback Length: Sensitivity of the swing detection (Default: 200 bars).
Resolution: Granularity of the profile rows (Default: 100). Higher values provide smoother definition.
Width (%): Responsive sizing that scales the profile relative to the trend's duration.
Extend Lines: Option to project structural levels infinitely to the right.

Liquidity Sweep Guardian-NQ versionThis indicator is only optimized for CME future NQ or MNQ. If you want to use for other product, adjust your own setting.
The indicator is used as a visual aid for warning trader do not fade trend before PDL or PDH liquidity sweep. The box wrapper around PDH and PDL is a warning box. Liquidity can be super thin when price is approaching the box, so do not fade the trend (counter trend trading when you are near the box before PDH or PDL sweep.
There is no universal strategy if you should go long or short when PDL or PDH is reached, but this indicator is designed for trader to avoid get caught when fading a trend that is going to sweep PDL or PDH.
example here
Here is the Full guide:
# Liquidity Sweep Guardian
## Overview
A visual warning system that helps traders avoid premature counter-trend entries near key liquidity levels (Previous Day High/Low). The indicator displays danger zones centered on PDH/PDL and tracks when these levels have been swept and reclaimed.
**This is a WARNING system, not a trade signal generator.**
---
## The Problem It Solves
One of the most common trading mistakes:
> Price is falling toward PDL. You see a bullish candle 40 points above PDL and think "maybe it reverses here." You enter long. Price then accelerates DOWN, sweeps PDL, and your stop gets hit. The reversal you wanted happens AFTER the sweep—without you.
This indicator prevents that mistake by:
1. Showing you when you're in the "danger zone" near a key level
2. Warning you NOT to fade until the level has been swept
3. Unlocking fade consideration only AFTER sweep + reclaim
---
## How It Works
### Danger Zone (Red Box)
- Centered on PDH and PDL
- Default: ±75 points (150 point total zone)
- When price is in this zone and the level hasn't been swept → **avoid counter-trend trades**
### Critical Zone (Inner Red Box)
- Tighter zone around the level
- Default: ±25 points
- Highest risk area for premature entries
### Sweep Detection
When price penetrates beyond the level:
- **SWEEP** (10-25 pts): Normal liquidity grab, watch for reclaim
- **EXTENDED** (25-50 pts): Deeper than typical, use caution
- **CONTINUATION** (50+ pts): Likely trend continuation, not a sweep
### Unlock Condition
**"🔓 LONG UNLOCKED"** or **"🔓 SHORT UNLOCKED"** appears when:
1. The level has been swept (price went beyond it)
2. Price has reclaimed back through the level
3. Sweep depth was NOT in continuation territory (50+ pts)
**UNLOCKED means you MAY now consider a fade setup. It is NOT an entry signal.**
---
## Visual Elements
| Element | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| **Red Box** | Danger zone - avoid fading until swept |
| **Inner Red Box** | Critical zone - highest trap risk |
| **Green Box** | Zone is unlocked - sweep complete |
| **"SWEEP" Label** | Level has been penetrated |
| **"🔓 UNLOCKED" Label** | Sweep complete + reclaim - may consider fade |
| **"⚠️ CONTINUATION?" Label** | Deep penetration (50+ pts) - likely not a reversal |
---
## Settings
### Danger Zone Settings
- **Danger Zone Size**: Distance above AND below level (default: 75 pts)
- **Critical Zone Size**: Inner high-risk zone (default: 25 pts)
### Sweep Classification
- **Real Sweep Min/Max**: Point range for normal sweep (default: 10-25 pts)
- **Fake Sweep / Continuation**: Depth that suggests continuation (default: 50 pts)
- **Max Bars for Reclaim**: How quickly price should reclaim (default: 5 bars)
---
## How to Use
### ❌ DON'T
- Enter long when price is in PDL danger zone and PDL hasn't been swept
- Enter short when price is in PDH danger zone and PDH hasn't been swept
- Fade immediately when you see the "SWEEP" label
- Treat "UNLOCKED" as a buy/sell signal
### ✅ DO
- Wait for the SWEEP label before considering a fade
- Wait for the UNLOCKED label before looking for entry setups
- Use your own entry criteria AFTER unlock (consolidation, reclaim, patterns, etc.)
- Respect deep penetrations (50+ pts) as potential continuation, not reversal
---
## The Core Concept
**Price often accelerates INTO liquidity sweeps.**
That bullish candle you see 40 points above PDL? It's often the last gasp before the sweep, not the reversal. Smart money needs to:
1. Sweep the lows (trigger stops)
2. Grab liquidity
3. THEN reverse
By waiting for the sweep + reclaim, you align with this flow instead of getting trapped.
---
## Alerts
- **Entering Danger Zone**: Price entering PDH/PDL zone
- **Swept**: Level has been penetrated
- **Unlocked**: Sweep complete + reclaim
- **Deep Continuation**: 50+ point penetration warning
---
## Best Practices
1. **Patience over prediction**: Don't anticipate the sweep—wait for it
2. **Unlock ≠ Entry**: Unlocked means you can START looking for setups
3. **Respect continuation**: 50+ point penetration often means trend continues
4. **Use with your system**: This is a filter/warning, not a strategy
---
## Notes
- Designed for NQ/ES futures but works on any instrument
- Adjust point values for different instruments (e.g., ES uses smaller values)
- Session resets at 6PM ET (CME futures session)
- Works on any timeframe
---
## Summary
> **Don't fade until swept. Don't enter until unlocked. Unlocked ≠ Entry signal.**
The indicator's job is to keep you OUT of bad trades, not get you INTO trades. Your job is to find quality entries AFTER the indicator gives you permission to look.
---
*"The reversal you want comes AFTER the sweep. Every time. And when it doesn't? It wasn't a reversal—it was continuation. Either way, waiting was the right choice."*
Adaptive Trend-Based Fib Extension + TrendlinesThis advanced analysis tool is designed to take the guesswork out of Fibonacci trading. By combining Adaptive Fibonacci Extensions with multi-method Pivot Detection, Dynamic Trendlines, and Horizontal Support/Resistance, this indicator provides a comprehensive roadmap for any market trend.
Learn volume trading - @pricevolumetraders
Key Features
Adaptive Fibonacci Engine: Unlike static tools, this indicator uses an ATR-based adaptive factor to adjust extension levels according to current market volatility.
Smart Trend Detection: Automatically identifies trend direction using EMA cross-overs or Higher High/Higher Low sequences to determine whether to plot Bullish or Bearish extensions.
Multi-Method Pivots: Choose from six different pivot detection methods, including Volume-Based, Fractal, ATR-Based, and Long Wick detection, to suit your specific trading style.
Automated Trendlines & S/R: High-probability diagonal trendlines and horizontal S/R levels are drawn only when they meet a minimum "touch" requirement and volume confirmation.
Institutional Zones: Highlights the "Golden Zone" between the 127.2% and 161.8% extension levels, where trends often reach exhaustion or find major targets.
How to Use
Trend Alignment: Use the built-in Dashboard to quickly identify the current trend (Bull/Bear) and RSI momentum.
The 3-Point Setup: The indicator automatically finds Point 1 (Trend Start), Point 2 (Impulse End), and Point 3 (Retracement/Last Touch) to project future price targets.
Entry Confirmation: Look for price action near the 61.8% or 78.6% Retracement levels for high-probability entries in the direction of the trend.
Targeting: Use the extension levels (100%, 127.2%, 161.8%) as your primary Take Profit zones.
Confluence: The strongest setups occur when a Fibonacci level aligns perfectly with a Horizontal S/R line or a Diagonal Trendline.
Technical Settings
Pivot Settings: Adjust 'Left' and 'Right' bars to change the sensitivity of swing high/low detection.
Fib Timeframe: You can anchor Fibonacci levels to a higher timeframe (e.g., 1-hour levels) while trading on a lower timeframe (e.g., 5-minute).
Volume Multiplier: Filter for horizontal levels that were formed with significant institutional volume.
Disclaimer: Trading involves significant risk. This tool is for educational and analytical purposes only and should be used in conjunction with a complete trading plan.
QuantLabs Multi Asset Similarity Matrix [V3 Final]The Market is a graph. See the flows:
The QuantLabs MASM is not a standard correlation table. It is an Alpha-Grade Scanner architected to reveal the hidden "hydraulic" relationships between global macro assets in real-time.
Rebuilt from the ground up for Version 3, this engine pushes the absolute limits of the Pine Script™ runtime. It utilizes a proprietary Logarithmic Math Engine, Symmetric Compute Optimization, and a futuristic "Ghost Mode" interface to deliver a 15x15 real-time correlation matrix with zero lag.
Under the Hood: The Quant Architecture
We stripped away standard libraries to build a lean, high-performance engine designed for institutional-grade accuracy.
1. Alpha Math Engine (Logarithmic Returns) Most tools calculate correlation based on Price, which generates spurious signals (e.g., "Everything is correlated in a bull run").
The Solution: Our engine computes Logarithmic Returns (log(close /close )) by default. This measures the correlation of change (Velocity & Vector), not price levels.
The Result: A mathematically rigorous view of statistical relationships that filters out the noise of general market drift.
Dual-Core: Toggle seamlessly between "Alpha Mode" (Log Returns) for verified stats and "Visual Mode" (Price) for trend alignment.
Calculation Modes: Pearson (Standard), Euclidean (Distance), Cosine (Vector), Manhattan (Grid).
2. Symmetric Compute Optimization Calculating a 15x15 matrix requires evaluating 225 unique relationships per bar, which often crashes memory limits.
The Fix: The V3 Engine utilizes Symmetric Logic, recognizing that Correlation(A, B) == Correlation(B, A).
The Gain: By computing only the lower triangle of the matrix and mirroring pointers to the upper triangle, we reduced computational load by 50%, ensuring a lightning-fast data feed even on lower timeframes.
3. Context-Aware "Ghost Mode" The UI is designed for professional traders who need focus, not clutter.
Smart Detection: The matrix automatically detects your current chart's Ticker ID. If you are trading QQQ, the matrix will visually highlight the Nas100 row and column, making them opaque and bright while dimming the rest.
Dynamic Transparency: Irrelevant data ("Noise" < 0.3 correlation) fades into the background. Only significant "Alpha Signals" (> 0.7) glow with full Neon Saturation.
Key Features
Dominant Flow Scanner: The matrix scans all 105 unique pairs every tick and prints the #1 Strongest Correlation at the bottom of the pane (e.g., DOMINANT FLOW: Bitcoin ↔ Nas100 ).
Streak Counter: A "Stubbornness" metric that tracks how many consecutive days a strong correlation has persisted. Instantly identify if a move is a "flash event" or a "structural trend."
Neon Palette: Proprietary color mapping using Electric Blue (+1.0) for lockstep correlation and Deep Red (-1.0) for inverse hedging.
Usage Guide
Placement: Best viewed in a bottom pane (Footer).
Assets: Pre-loaded with the Essential 15 Macro Drivers (Indices, BTC, Gold, Oil, Rates, FX, Key Sectors). Fully editable via settings (Ticker|Name).
Reading the Grid:
🔵 Bright Blue: Assets moving in lockstep (Risk-On).
🔴 Bright Red: Assets moving perfectly opposite (Hedge/Risk-Off).
⚫ Faded/Black: No statistical relationship (Decoupled).
Key Improvements Made:
Formatting: Added clear bullet points and bolding to make it scannable.
Clarity: Clarified the "Logarithmic Returns" section to explain why it matters (Velocity vs. Price Levels).
Tone: Maintained the "high-tech/quant" vibe but removed slightly clunky phrases like "spurious signals" (unless you prefer that academic tone, in which case I left it in as it fits the persona).
Structure: Grouped the "Modes" under the Math Engine for better logic.

RSI Distribution [Kodexius]RSI Distribution is a statistics driven visualization companion for the classic RSI oscillator. In addition to plotting RSI itself, it continuously builds a rolling sample of recent RSI values and projects their distribution as a forward drawn histogram, so you can see where RSI has spent most of its time over the selected lookback window.
The indicator is designed to add context to oscillator readings. Instead of only treating RSI as a single point estimate that is either “high” or “low”, you can evaluate the current RSI level relative to its own recent history. This makes it easier to recognize when the market is operating inside a familiar regime, and when RSI is pushing into rarer tail conditions that tend to appear during momentum bursts, exhaustion, or volatility expansion.
To complement the histogram, the script can optionally overlay a Gaussian curve fitted to the sample mean and standard deviation. It also runs a Jarque Bera normality check, based on skewness and excess kurtosis, and surfaces the result both visually and in a compact dashboard. On the oscillator panel itself, RSI is presented with a clean gradient line and standard overbought and oversold references, with fills that become more visible when RSI meaningfully extends beyond key thresholds.
🔹 Features
1. Distribution Histogram of Recent RSI Values
The script stores the last N RSI values in an internal sample and uses that rolling window to compute a frequency distribution across a user selected number of bins. The histogram is drawn into the future by a configurable width in bars, which keeps it readable and prevents it from colliding with the active RSI plot. The result is a compact visual summary of where RSI clusters most often, whether it is spending more time near the center, or shifting toward higher or lower regimes.
2. Gaussian Overlay for Shape Intuition
If enabled, a fitted bell curve is drawn on top of the histogram using the sample mean and standard deviation. This overlay is not intended as a direct trading signal. Its purpose is to provide a fast visual comparator between the empirical RSI distribution and a theoretical normal shape. When the histogram diverges strongly from the curve, you can quickly spot skew, heavy tails, or regime changes that often occur when market structure or volatility conditions shift.
3. Jarque Bera Normality Check With Clear PASS/FAIL Feedback
The script computes skewness and excess kurtosis from the RSI sample, then forms the Jarque Bera statistic and compares it to a fixed 95% critical value. When the distribution is closer to normal under this test, the status is marked as PASS, otherwise it is marked as FAIL. This result is displayed in the dashboard and can also influence the histogram styling, giving immediate feedback about whether the recent RSI behavior resembles a bell shaped distribution or a more distorted, regime driven profile.
Jarque Bera is a goodness of fit test that evaluates whether a dataset looks consistent with a normal distribution by checking two shape properties: skewness (asymmetry) and kurtosis (tail heaviness, expressed here as excess kurtosis where a perfect normal has 0). Under the null hypothesis of normality, skewness should be near 0 and excess kurtosis should be near 0. The test combines deviations in both into a single statistic, which is then compared to a chi square threshold. A PASS in this script means the sample does not show strong evidence against normality at the chosen threshold, while a FAIL means the sample is meaningfully skewed, heavy tailed, or both. In practical trading terms, a FAIL often suggests RSI is behaving in a regime where extremes and asymmetry are more common, which is typical during strong trends, volatility expansions, or one sided market pressure. It is still a statistical diagnostic, not a prediction tool, and results can vary with lookback length and market conditions.
4. Integrated Stats Dashboard
A compact table in the top right summarizes key distribution moments and the normality result: Mean, StdDev, Skewness, Kurtosis, and the JB statistic with PASS/FAIL text. Skewness is color coded by sign to quickly distinguish right skew (more time at higher RSI) versus left skew (more time at lower RSI), which can be helpful when diagnosing trend bias and momentum persistence.
5. RSI Visual Quality and Context Zones
RSI is plotted with a gradient color scheme and standard overbought and oversold reference lines. The overbought and oversold areas are filled with a smart gradient so visual emphasis increases when RSI meaningfully extends beyond the 70 and 30 regions, improving readability without overwhelming the panel.
🔹 Calculations
This section summarizes the main calculations and transformations used internally.
1. RSI Series
RSI is computed from the selected source and length using the standard RSI function:
rsi_val = ta.rsi(rsi_src, rsi_len)
2. Rolling Sample Collection
A float array stores recent RSI values. Each bar appends the newest RSI, and if the array exceeds the configured lookback, the oldest value is removed. Conceptually:
rsi_history.push(rsi_val)
if rsi_history.size() > lookback
rsi_history.shift()
This maintains a fixed size window that represents the most recent RSI behavior.
3. Mean, Variance, and Standard Deviation
The script computes the sample mean across the array. Variance is computed as sample variance using (n - 1) in the denominator, and standard deviation is the square root of that variance. These values serve both the dashboard display and the Gaussian overlay parameters.
4. Skewness and Excess Kurtosis
Skewness is calculated from the standardized third central moment with a small sample correction. Kurtosis is computed as excess kurtosis (kurtosis minus 3), so the normal baseline is 0. These two metrics summarize asymmetry and tail heaviness, which are the core ingredients for the Jarque Bera statistic.
5. Jarque Bera Statistic and Decision Rule
Using skewness S and excess kurtosis K, the Jarque Bera statistic is computed as:
JB = (n / 6.0) * (S^2 + 0.25 * K^2)
Normality is flagged using a fixed critical value:
is_normal = JB < 5.991
This produces a simple PASS/FAIL classification suitable for fast chart interpretation.
6. Histogram Binning and Scaling
The RSI domain is treated as 0 to 100 and divided into a configurable number of bins. Bin size is:
bin_size = 100.0 / bins
Each RSI sample maps to a bin index via floor(rsi / bin_size), with clamping to ensure the index stays within valid bounds. The script counts occurrences per bin, tracks the maximum frequency, and normalizes each bar height by freq/max_freq so the histogram remains visually stable and comparable as the window updates.
7. Gaussian Curve Overlay (Optional)
The Gaussian overlay uses the normal probability density function with mu as the sample mean and sigma as the sample standard deviation:
normal_pdf(x) = (1 / (sigma * sqrt(2*pi))) * exp(-0.5 * ((x - mu)/sigma)^2)
For drawing, the script samples x across the histogram width, evaluates the PDF, and normalizes it relative to its peak so the curve fits within the same visual height scale as the histogram.

ICT MTF FVG BPR Toolkit [D4A}The ICT MTF FVG BPR Toolkit encompasses the following 5 components:
- Fair Value Gaps - current timeframe
- Fair Value Gaps - higher timeframe
- BPR - Balanced Price Range
- Long Wicks - which are considered to be gaps by ICT
- Immediate Rebalance - it leaves no gaps, but is as important in assessing current workflow
This is advanced Fair Value Gaps script that uses trading methodology taught by ICT trader. To use it effectively it requires at least some basic knowledge of Smart Money Concepts (SMC) as outlined in ICT's lectures found on YT. I may publish another SMC related scripts in future if this kind of tool is useful to anybody.
The idea behind this work, is to have all the necessary tools related to Fair Value Gaps in one script that is easy to use (requires SMC knowledge), fully customizable and will keep the chart as clutter free as possible. Since, I could not find a ready-made script which would tick all my requirements, I created this new script, partially by borrowing some ideas and code from existing open source projects that I liked. Rather than re-inventing the wheel, I focused on adopting and improving existing solutions and have them work together in one tool that could present the information accurately and in a polished way, where the trader can customize almost everything. Full credit goes to other coders, who tackled this subject before me, but particularly to:
QuantVue
LuxAlgo
pmk07
The script have these unique features:
- Can present FVGs from up to 3 different timeframes at any given interval
- The amount and interval of higher timeframe FVGs is fully customizable
- FVGs can be displayed based on size
- Volume Imbalance can be included as part of FVG (as recommended by ICT)
- Higher timeframe FVGs can have quadrants displayed along with C.E. (based on ATR filter)
- Both current and higher timeframe FVGs can be displayed in different ways depending on price interactions
- BPR which works on current timeframe only
- Long Wick detection logic has been slightly changed from the original LuxAlgo code
- Immediate Rebalance code has been simplified and re-focused on clarity

BTC - VDD Multiple (Approx)Overview & Philosophy
⚠️ Note: This indicator is optimized for the Daily (1D) Timeframe. Please switch your chart to 1D for accurate signal reading.
The BTC – VDD Multiple (Approx) is an advanced oscillator designed to identify market overheating and cycle tops by analyzing the velocity of value moving through the market.
In traditional On-Chain Analysis, Value Days Destroyed (VDD) is a premier metric for spotting macro tops. It multiplies the coin age (how long a coin was held) by the price at which it was moved. When old coins (HODLer money) move at high prices, VDD spikes, signaling massive profit-taking.
The Problem: Real "Coin Days Destroyed" (CDD) data is typically locked behind institutional paywalls or unavailable on standard TradingView plans.
The Solution: This script calculates a Deterministic Proxy. By analyzing the relationship between Exchange Volume, Price, and a Dormancy Constant, we can approximate the structure of the VDD Multiple without needing a premium data feed.
Methodology
The VDD Multiple works by comparing short-term market velocity against a long-term baseline.
1. The Proxy Calculation
Since we cannot directly access the age of coins on TradingView, we model the economic weight of the move:
Proxy Value = Exchange Volume * Price * Dormancy Factor
This creates a synthetic representation of "Value Throughput."
2. The Multiple
We compare the immediate heat of the market against the yearly trend:
• Short-Term MA (2 Days): Captures flash spikes and sudden liquidity exit events.
• Long-Term MA (365 Days): Represents the baseline "hum" of network activity.
VDD Multiple = Short Term MA / Long Term MA
How to Read the Chart
The indicator plots the Multiple as a line and uses background highlighting to signal extreme regimes.
🔴 The Red Zone (Overheated > 2.9)
Meaning: Current value transfer is ~3x higher than the yearly average.
Interpretation: Historically, sharp spikes into the Red Zone correlate with Local or Cycle Tops. This indicates that massive volume is changing hands at high prices—typically a sign of "Smart Money" distributing into "Dumb Money" FOMO.
Note: In strong bull runs, price can push higher even after a VDD spike, but the risk/reward ratio is extremely poor here.
🟢 The Green Zone (Undervalued < 0.75)
Meaning: Market activity is quiet and below the yearly baseline.
Interpretation: These are periods of apathy or accumulation. Historically, extended time spent in the Green Zone (the "flatline") has offered the best asymmetric buying opportunities.
🟠 The Orange Line (Neutral)
Meaning: The market is in transition or equilibrium.
Strategy & Context
This indicator is best used as a Macro Cycle Tool, not a day-trading signal.
• Exit Strategy: Look for "Clusters" of Red Spikes. A single spike often marks a local correction, but a cluster of intense spikes while price makes new highs (Divergence) is a strong Cycle Top warning.
• Entry Strategy: Historically the best entries occur when the indicator flattens out in the Green Zone for weeks or months. This suggests sellers are exhausted and the market has reached a floor.
Credits
This script is an approximation of the original VDD Multiple concept. Full credit for the underlying on-chain theory goes to the pioneers of this metric:
• Concept: The original Value Days Destroyed metric was popularized by Hans Hauge and Glassnode.
• The Multiple: The specific application of a Short/Long MA Multiple on VDD is widely attributed to analysts like TXMC and Bitbo.
This script adapts these concepts for the free TradingView environment using exchange volume proxies.
Settings
• Data Source: Defaults to BINANCE:BTCUSDT to capture high-volume liquidity.
• Short MA: Default is 2 Days to capture rapid velocity spikes.
• Long MA: Default is 365 Days to track the annual trend.
Disclaimer
This tool is an approximation based on exchange volume, not raw blockchain data. While exchange volume and on-chain volume are highly correlated during cycle extremes, they are not identical. This script is for educational and research purposes only. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

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

The EMA Slope Angle Indicator visualizes the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) slope as an angle in degrees, providing traders with a clear, quantitative measure of trend strength and direction. The indicator features **automatic threshold calculation based on Gaussian distribution**, making it adaptive to any market and timeframe.
## Key Features
### 🎯 **Automatic Threshold Calculation (NEW!)**
- **Gaussian Distribution-Based**: Automatically calculates optimal thresholds from the 50% interquartile range (IQR) of historical angle data
- **Asset-Adaptive**: Thresholds adjust to each instrument's unique volatility and price characteristics
- **No Manual Tuning Required**: Simply enable "Use Auto Thresholds" and let the indicator optimize itself
### 📊 **Dynamic EMA Coloring**
- **Color Intensity**: EMA line color intensity reflects slope strength
- **Visual Feedback**:
- Green shades for uptrends (darker = stronger)
- Red shades for downtrends (darker = stronger)
- Gray for flat/neutral conditions
### 📈 **Regime Detection**
- **Three Regimes**: RISING, FALLING, and FLAT
- **Smart Classification**: Based on statistical distribution of angles
- **Non-Repainting**: All calculations use confirmed bars only
### 🔔 **Trend-Shift Signals**
- **Visual Arrows**: Automatic signals when transitioning from FLAT to RISING/FALLING
- **Configurable**: Enable/disable signals as needed
- **Reliable**: Only triggers on significant regime changes
### 📋 **KPI Dashboard**
- **Real-Time Metrics**: Current angle, regime, and last signal
- **Auto-Threshold Display**: Shows calculated thresholds when auto-mode is active
- **Statistics**: Optional angle distribution statistics
- **Clean Layout**: Top-right corner, non-intrusive
### 📊 **Angle Statistics (Optional)**
- **Distribution Analysis**: Histogram of angle ranges
- **Dynamic Buckets**: Automatically adjusts to data distribution when auto-mode is enabled
- **Percentage Breakdown**: See how often each angle range occurs
## Settings
### Main Settings
- **EMA Length**: Period for the Exponential Moving Average (default: 50)
- **Slope Lookback Bars**: Number of bars to calculate slope over (default: 5)
### Angle Settings
- **Use Auto Thresholds**: Enable automatic threshold calculation (recommended!)
- **Analysis Period**: Number of bars to analyze for distribution (default: 500)
- **Manual Thresholds**: Flat, Rising, and Falling triggers (used when auto-mode is off)
- **Max Angle for Color Saturation**: Maximum angle for color intensity scaling
### Display Options
- **Colors**: Customize uptrend, downtrend, and flat colors
- **Show Signals**: Enable/disable trend-shift arrows
- **Show Statistics**: Display angle distribution table
- **Show Dashboard**: Toggle KPI dashboard visibility
## How It Works
### Angle Calculation
The indicator calculates the angle between the current EMA value and the EMA value N bars ago:
```
Angle = arctan((EMA_now - EMA_then) / lookback) × 180° / π
```
### Auto-Threshold Calculation
When enabled, the indicator:
1. Analyzes historical angle data over the specified period
2. Calculates mean and standard deviation
3. Determines thresholds based on the 50% interquartile range (IQR):
- **Flat Threshold**: ±0.674σ (middle 50% of data)
- **Rising Trigger**: 75th percentile (mean + 0.674σ)
- **Falling Trigger**: 25th percentile (mean - 0.674σ)
### Regime Classification
- **FLAT**: Angle within ±Flat Threshold
- **RISING**: Angle ≥ Rising Trigger
- **FALLING**: Angle ≤ Falling Trigger
## Use Cases
### Trend Following
- Identify strong trends (high angle values)
- Spot trend reversals (regime changes)
- Filter trades based on trend strength
### Range Trading
- Detect flat/consolidation periods
- Avoid trading during choppy markets
- Enter when regime shifts from FLAT to RISING/FALLING
### Multi-Timeframe Analysis
- Apply to different timeframes for confirmation
- Use higher timeframe for trend direction
- Use lower timeframe for entry timing
## Tips for Best Results
1. **Enable Auto-Thresholds**: Let the indicator adapt to your instrument
2. **Adjust Analysis Period**: Use more bars for stable markets, fewer for volatile ones
3. **Combine with Price Action**: Use regime changes as confirmation, not standalone signals
4. **Multi-Timeframe**: Check higher timeframes for trend context
5. **Backtest First**: Test settings on historical data before live trading
## Technical Details
- **Non-Repainting**: All calculations use `barstate.isconfirmed`
- **Pine Script v6**: Latest version for optimal performance
- **Efficient**: Minimal computational overhead
- **Customizable**: Extensive settings for fine-tuning
## Version History

Future Ichimoku Cloud - HorizonIchimoku Horizon is an advanced Ichimoku indicator that projects future cloud formations and component lines, giving traders unprecedented visibility into potential support/resistance zones before they form.
1. Future Ichimoku Projections
Project Ichimoku components forward in time using simulated price evolution based on rolling Tenkan/Kijun windows
Manual forecast periods up to 125 bars (all 4 components) or 500 bars (cloud only)
Smart limit management automatically adjusts to TradingView's drawing object limits while maximizing visible projections
2. Preset & Custom Ichimoku Configurations
Choose from multiple common Ichimoku presets or fully customize your own
3. Multi-Timeframe Display & Projections
Display Ichimoku from higher/lower timeframes directly on your current timeframe chart
Automatic scaling adjusts Ichimoku periods correctly across timeframes
Intelligent handling of 24/7 markets (crypto/forex) vs traditional session-based markets
Built-in detection of problematic timeframe combinations with optional MTF cloud fetching for accuracy
Automatic notifications when future projections are unavailable due to MTF constraints
4. Tenkan & Kijun Range Windows
Visual range windows that display the exact high/low range used for Tenkan and Kijun calculations
Optional High/Low markers placed at the exact bars they occur
Optional countdown labels show how many bars remain until the current High/Low expires from the rolling window
Range windows scale up and down dynamically to match display timeframe
5. Comprehensive Alert Suite
Built-in alerts for all major Ichimoku events: TK crosses, E2E entires, Kumo breakouts, etc.
All alerts are cloud-aware and displacement-correct.
How It Works
The indicator uses the traditional Donchian channel method to calculate Ichimoku components, then extends this logic forward by simulating future price action within the calculation windows (no new highs or lows). This creates a forward-looking projection of where support and resistance zones will form.
The range display feature helps traders understand why the lines are where they are by showing the exact high/low points and countdown timers for when these points will expire from the calculation.
Who This Indicator Is For:
Ichimoku traders who want future-aware context
Multi-timeframe analysts seeking correctly aligned clouds
Traders who want to understand Tenkan/Kijun mechanics
Users who need precision without manual recalculation
Notes:
Maximum 500 drawing objects limit managed automatically
Due to Pinescript/TradingView limitations, future Tenkan/Kijun line width is only modifiable in the source code.
UNDETECTED FX - 250 Pip LevelsIndicator Description – UNDETECTED FX: 250-Pip Psychological Levels
This indicator automatically plots major 250-pip psychological levels on XAUUSD and highlights the price zones around them. These levels act as strong reaction points where liquidity, reversals, and institutional activity commonly occur.
What the Indicator Does
✔ Plots every 250-pip level starting from a user-defined base (e.g., 4050 → 4075 → 4100 → 4125 → …)
✔ Each level is represented by a thick black horizontal line for maximum visual clarity
✔ Around every 250-pip level, the indicator draws a liquidity zone
Top of zone: +200 pips
Bottom of zone: –200 pips
(configured as ± zoneHalf in settings)
✔ Uses extend: both, so levels stretch across the entire chart and stay fixed, no matter how far you scroll
✔ Zones are filled with a customizable color for clear premium/discount visualization
✔ The indicator never repaints and requires no updates after drawing — all levels are fixed on their price coordinates
Why It’s Useful
🔹 Helps quickly identify institutional levels where gold often reacts
🔹 Acts as a framework for scalping, intraday trading, and swing bias
🔹 Makes it easy to spot liquidity sweeps, rejections, and premium/discount areas
🔹 Clearly shows market structure breaks around key psychological levels
🔹 Forces discipline by creating predefined, fixed levels for trading decisions
Best Use Case
XAUUSD scalpers
Intraday traders who rely on precision entries
Traders who use psychological levels, liquidity grabs, or smart-money concepts
Anyone wanting a clean, non-cluttered chart with high-impact levels only
X-trend Volume Anomaly 📊 X-TREND Volume Anomaly: Advanced VSA Analysis
Effective market analysis requires understanding the relationship between Price Action and Volume. X-Trend Volume Anomaly is a technical instrument that simplifies Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) into a clear, visual system. It allows traders to instantly decode the footprint of "Smart Money" by analyzing the correlation between Relative Volume (RVOL) and Candle Range.
The algorithm automatically classifies market behavior into three distinct states:
1. 🟢🔴 Impulse (Trend Validation)
Logic: High Relative Volume + High Price Range.
Interpretation: Represents genuine market intent. Institutional aggregators are aggressively pushing price. This confirms the validity of a breakout or trend continuation.
2. 🟠 Absorption / Churn (Reversal Warning)
Logic: Ultra-High Relative Volume + Low Price Range (Doji, Pin-bar).
Interpretation: The critical signal. This indicates a major divergence between Effort (Volume) and Result (Price Movement). Large players are absorbing liquidity via limit orders, halting the trend. This is often a precursor to an immediate reversal. (See the Orange candle in the chart examples).
3. 👻 Ghost Mode (Noise Reduction)
Logic: Candles with low/insignificant volume are rendered in a transparent gray scale.
Utility: Eliminates visual noise, allowing the trader to focus exclusively on significant liquidity events and institutional activity.
⚙️ SYSTEM SYNERGY
While this indicator provides robust standalone volume analysis, it is engineered to function as the Volume Confirmation Layer within the X-Trend Ecosystem. For a complete institutional trading setup, we recommend pairing this tool with:
X-Trend Reversal (PRO): For precise, non-repainting entry signals.
X-Trend Liquidation Heatmap: For identifying high-probability price targets.
