Scissors&Knifes V3.1✂️ The Scissors (PAG Chop V4 Engine)
🧠 Core idea
Scissors measure market compression and breakout readiness.
They use a modified Choppiness Index that looks at the relationship between:
True Range volatility (ATR × period length)
The total high–low range over the same window.
The smaller the ratio (sum of TR vs range), the more directional and impulsive the market is.
The higher the ratio, the more “sideways” the market trades.
This version smooths the result over PAG_SMOOTHLEN bars and applies several color bands that correspond to volatility states.
🎨 Color code meaning
Range State Color Interpretation
≤ 30 Strong Red #8B0000 Momentum exhaustion on downside, sellers dominating — about to reverse or already strong down-trend.
30 – 38 Brick Red #A52A2A Fading downside pressure; often the “bleeding edge” of a bearish climax.
38 – 55 Transparent black (α≈100) Neutral chop zone — indecision, range-building.
55 – 61.8 Yellow (optional) #DAA520 Early compression pocket where volatility starts contracting; the calm before a trend.
61.8 – 70 Bright Green #556B2F Energy release phase: volatility breaking out upward.
≥ 70 Strong Green #355E3B Sustained bullish drive, often continuation leg of a trend.
🪶 Secret nuance:
The transition bands (38–45 and 45–55) are treated as fully transparent to mark “dead zones.”
When PAG Chop sits here, all label activity pauses — the system resets its cluster memory so the next colored print begins a new “cluster”, letting you clearly see where fresh directional momentum starts.
🧩 Cluster logic
Every time a colored (non-transparent) reading appears, it belongs to a “color cluster.”
Grey labels (= count 1) mark the genesis of a new cluster, and following counts 2, 3, 4 … represent the internal continuity of that trend state.
You can optionally hide the first N grey or count 2 labels to reduce clutter on the initial stabilization bars.
✂️ Label meaning
Each label shows:
Emoji ✂️
Current count (e.g. ✂️ = 3 means 3 timeframes are simultaneously firing)
Optional list of the timeframes that contribute.
So a high count (e.g. 8–10) means many lower TFs are synchronizing volatility breakout — a multiframe alignment, often just before an acceleration burst.
🔪 The Knife (Mr Blonde V4 Engine)
🧠 Core idea
Mr Blonde converts the slope of a long EMA into an angle-of-attack metric — literally the “tilt” of market momentum.
It computes the EMA gradient relative to price span and rescales it into degrees (-5 ° to +5 °).
The steeper the angle, the stronger the directional push.
🎨 Color code meaning
Angle range Color Interpretation
≥ +5 ° Transparent (Black 1) Fully over-extended up move — wait for reset.
+3.57 – +5 ° Dark Red Strong upward slope, momentum apex.
+2.14 – +3.57 ° Orange Medium upward slope, trend acceleration zone.
+0.71 – +2.14 ° Light Orange Mild upward bias, pre-momentum phase.
0 to -0.71 ° Yellow Neutral transition.
-0.71 – -2.14 ° Olive Green Soft bearish slope.
-2.14 – -3.57 ° Olive Drab Building bearish momentum.
-3.57 – -5 ° Hunter Green Strong downward angle, aggressive push.
≤ -5 ° Transparent (Black 2) Oversold/over-tilted — likely exhaustion.
🪶 Secret nuance:
Mr Blonde uses a “span normalization” factor that divides EMA slope by the dynamic range of highs and lows.
This lets it compare angles fairly across assets with different volatility profiles (e.g. BTC vs ES) — it’s one of the rare EMA-angle implementations that self-scales properly.
🗡 Label meaning
Emoji 🔪
Count = how many TFs share the same momentum angle bias.
When many TFs show the same slope polarity (e.g. knife = 8), you’re in a deep momentum cascade — a “knife trend.”
💫 Yellow knife
The yellow state marks neutrality or slope flattening.
If you enable yellow visibility (mb_show_yellow), you can see where momentum cools off — often the earliest reversal hint.
⚙️ Shared mechanics between ✂️ and 🔪
Multi-timeframe sweep
The script cycles through 1 m → 10 m by default, running both engines once per TF.
Each returning true adds +1 to the count.
So:
sc_hits = count of timeframes where PAG fires + 1
knife_hits = count of timeframes where MB fires + 1
That “+1 shift” means there’s always at least 1, letting count = 1 represent the local TF itself.
Cluster limiter
If Limit max labels per cluster is on, you cap how many total symbols (both ✂️ & 🔪, including trails) can appear within one color phase — avoiding chart spam during extended trends.
Trails
Each printed label seeds a short-lived “trail” sequence — faded copies extending N bars forward.
Trails visualize the linger effect of the last signal, useful for visually connecting bursts in momentum.
Grey or count = 1 labels can have shorter or longer trails depending on your overrides (*_trail_bars_grey).
They’re purely visual and do not affect alerting.
Alerts
Alerts fire independently of whether you hide labels — unless you enable “respect filters”.
This guarantees you never miss a structural signal even if you suppress visuals for clarity.
🌈 Interpreting Both Together
Scenario Interpretation
✂️ = low (1–2) + 🔪 rising (red/orange) Market just leaving chop, early thrust stage.
✂️ = high (≥ 5) + 🔪 green Fully aligned breakout continuation — trend in progress.
✂️ = yellow cluster + 🔪 yellow Volatility squeeze, energy buildup — next expansion near.
✂️ = green cluster → 🔪 turns red Cross-state conflict; likely transition or correction.
✂️ = grey + 🔪 grey Reset condition — both engines cooling; stand aside.
💡 Hidden edge:
Scissors signal potential, Knife measures kinetic force.
The perfect storm is when ✂️ goes from yellow→green one bar before 🔪 shifts from orange→green — it catches the birth of directional flow while volatility is still tight.
🧭 Reading the labels intuitively
Grey ✂️/🔪 = 1 → embryonic state, may fizzle or bloom.
✂️/🔪 = 2 or 3 → expansion taking hold.
✂️/🔪 ≥ 4 (mid black) → strong synchronized drive across TFs.
Transparent gap → cluster reset; prepare for new phase.
Trail lines → echo of previous cluster strength.
Final secret tip 🗝
Because both engines are mathematically uncorrelated (volatility vs EMA angle), when they agree in color polarity on multiple TFs, you have one of the cleanest probabilistic trend windows possible.
If you ever see ✂️ = 6 + 🔪 = 6 both pointing the same way — that’s a “knife-through-the-scissors” moment: volatility expansion and directional slope synchronized — those are the bars where institutional algorithms tend to add size.

CRT signals are not direct buy/sell signals ❌💰 — they serve as contextual reference points 🧭.
A high-probability setup often appears when:
A 4H sweep of a previous candle’s high occurs 🐢 (liquidity manipulation),
Followed by a bearish 15-minute close,
Targeting the 50% retracement of that 4H candle’s range 🎯.
📊 Use this tool to frame market structure across timeframes, align entries with liquidity events, and visualize when price may be expanding from or reverting to institutional reference points.

Ighodalo Gold - CRT (Candles are ranges theory)This indicator is designed to automatically identify and display CRT (Candles are Ranges Theory) Candles on your chart. It draws the high and low of the identified range and extends them until price breaks out, providing clear levels of support and resistance.
The Candles are Ranges Theory (CRT) concept was originally developed and shared by a trader named Romeotpt (Raid). All credit for the trading methodology goes to him. This indicator simply makes spotting these specific candles easier.
What is a CRT Candle & How Is It Used?
A CRT candle is a single candle that has both the highest high AND the lowest low over a user-defined period. It is identified by analysing a block of recent candles and finding the one candle that contains the entire price range of that block.
Once a CRT candle is formed, its high and low act as an accumulation range.
A break above or below this range is the manipulation phase.
A reclaim of the range (price closing back inside) signifies a potential distribution phase.
On higher timeframes, this sequence can be interpreted as:
Candle 1: Accumulation
Candle 2: Manipulation
Candle 3: Distribution
Reversal (Turtle Soup):
A sweep of the high or low, followed by a quick reclaim (price closing back inside the range), can signify a reversal. According to the theory’s originator, Romeo, this reversal pattern is called “turtle soup.”
After a bearish reversal at the high, the target becomes the CRT low.
After a bullish reversal at the low, the target becomes the CRT high.
How to Use This Indicator
The indicator is flexible and can be adapted to your trading style. The most important settings are:
Max Lookback Period: Number of past candles ("n") the indicator checks within to find a CRT.
CRT Timeframe:
Select a timeframe (e.g., 1H): The indicator will look at the higher timeframe you selected and plot the most recent CRT range from that timeframe onto your current chart. This is useful for multi-timeframe analysis.
Enable Overlapping CRTs:
False (unchecked): Shows only one active CRT range at a time. The indicator won’t look for a new one until the current range is broken.
True (checked): Constantly searches for and displays all CRT ranges it finds, allowing multiple ranges to appear on the chart simultaneously.
Disclaimer & Notes
-This is a visualisation tool and not a standalone trading signal. Always use it alongside your own analysis and risk management strategy.
-All credit for the "Candles are Ranges Theory" (CRT) concept goes to its creator, Romeotpt (Raid).
"On the journey to the opposite side of the range, price often provides multiple turtle soup entry opportunities. Follow their footprints." — Raid, 2025
Perp Imbalance Zones • Pro (clean)USD Premium (perp vs spot) → (Perp − Spot) / Spot.
Imbalance (z-score of that premium) → how extreme the current premium is relative to its own history over lenPrem bars.
Hysteresis state machine → flips to a SHORT bias when perp-long pressure is extreme; flips to LONG bias when perp-short pressure is extreme. It exits only after the imbalance cools (prevents whipsaw).
Price stretch filter (±σ) → optional Bollinger check so signals only fire when price is already stretched.
HTF confirmation (optional) → require higher-timeframe imbalance to agree with the current-TF bias.
Gradient visuals → line + background tint deepen as |z| grows (more extreme pressure).
What you see on the pane
A single line (z):
Above 0 = perp richer than spot (perp longs pressing).
Below 0 = perp cheaper than spot (perp shorts pressing).
Guides: dotted levels at ±enterZ (entry) and ±exitZ (cool-off/exit).
Background tint:
Red when state = SHORT bias (perp longs heavy).
Blue when state = LONG bias (perp shorts heavy).
Tint intensity scales with |z| (via hotZ).
Labels (optional): prints when bias flips.
Alerts (optional): “Enter SHORT/LONG bias” and “Exit bias”.
How to use it (playbook)
Attach & set symbols
Put the script on your chart.
Set Spot symbol and Perp symbol to the venue you trade (e.g., BINANCE:BTCUSDT + BINANCE:BTCUSDTPERP).
Read the bias
SHORT bias (red background): perp longs over-extended. Look for short entries if price is at resistance, σ-stretched, or your PA system agrees.
LONG bias (blue background): perp shorts over-extended. Look for long entries at support/σ-stretched down.
Entries
Use the bias flip as a context/confirm. Combine with your structure trigger (OB/level sweep, rejection wick, micro-break in market structure, etc.).
If useSigma=true, only trade when price is already ≥ upper band (shorts) or ≤ lower band (longs).
Exits
Bias auto-exits when |z| falls below exitZ.
You can also take profits at your levels or when the line fades back toward 0 while price mean-reverts to the middle band.
Tuning (what each knob does)
enterZ / exitZ (signal strictness + hysteresis)
Higher enterZ → fewer, cleaner signals (e.g., 1.8–2.2).
exitZ should be lower than enterZ (e.g., 0.6–1.0) to prevent flicker.
lenPrem (context window for z)
Larger (50–100) = steadier baseline, fewer signals.
Smaller (20–30) = more reactive, more signals.
smoothLen (EMA on z)
2–3 = snappier; 5–7 = smoother/laggier but cleaner.
useSigma, bbLen, bbK (price-stretch filter)
On filters chop. Try bbLen=100, bbK=1.0–1.5.
Off if you want more frequent signals or you already gate with your own σ/Keltner.
useHTF, htfTF, htfZmin (trend/confirmation)
Turn on to require higher-TF imbalance agreement (e.g., trading 1H → confirm with 4H htfTF=240, htfZmin≈0.6–1.0).
hotZ (visual intensity)
Lower (2.0–2.5) heats up faster; higher (4.0) is more subtle.
Ready-made presets
Conservative swing (fewer, higher-conviction):
enterZ=2.0, exitZ=1.0, lenPrem=60–80, smoothLen=5, useSigma=true, bbK=1.5, useHTF=true (240/0.8).
Balanced intraday (default feel):
enterZ=1.6–1.8, exitZ=0.8–1.0, lenPrem=50, smoothLen=3–4, useSigma=true, bbK=1.0–1.25, useHTF=false/true depending on trendiness.
Aggressive scalping (more signals):
enterZ=1.2–1.4, exitZ=0.6–0.8, lenPrem=20–30, smoothLen=2–3, useSigma=false, useHTF=false.
Practical tips
Don’t trade the line in isolation. Use it to time trades into your levels: VWAP bands, Monday high/low, prior POC/VAH/VAL, order blocks, etc.
Perp-led reversals often snap—be ready to scale out quickly back to mid-bands.
Venue matters. Keep spot & perp from the same exchange family to avoid cross-venue quirks.
Alerts: enable after you’ve tuned thresholds for your timeframe so you only get high-quality pings.
ADX Tide ZonesADX Tide Zones – Adaptive Momentum & Trend Strength Framework
Overview
ADX Tide Zones – Professional is a dynamic trend-strength visualizer designed for traders who want to interpret momentum with precision and context. By combining the Average Directional Index (ADX) with adaptive threshold logic, the indicator segments price action into distinct “tide zones” that reflect varying levels of market strength: Calm, Rising, Strong, and Falling Tides. These zones transform raw ADX readings into an interpretable framework that highlights when markets are consolidating, building momentum, trending strongly, or losing strength.
Unlike standard ADX readings, which can be difficult to interpret in real time, ADX Tide Zones translate momentum shifts into a continuous, color-coded system that traders can instantly read. Whether applied to scalping, intraday, or swing trading, the indicator offers a consistent methodology for identifying actionable opportunities across assets and timeframes.
How It Works
The foundation of ADX Tide Zones lies in momentum analysis via the ADX. By measuring the strength (not direction) of a trend, ADX provides an objective read on when markets are gaining or losing energy. ADX Tide Zones enhances this by applying threshold logic to classify ADX values into four distinct states:
Calm Tide : Low ADX values indicate sideways or consolidating conditions.
Rising Tide : ADX increases past a threshold, signaling momentum building.
Strong Tide : ADX remains elevated, confirming robust and sustained trend strength.
Falling Tide : ADX declines after strength, hinting at exhaustion or early reversal setups.
These states are displayed on the chart through adaptive visualizations (zones, bar colors, or overlays), offering real-time clarity on when to expect expansion, continuation, or contraction in price action.
Interpretation
Trend Analysis : By mapping transitions between tides, traders can instantly gauge whether markets are in accumulation, expansion, or exhaustion phases. Rising/Strong Tides reinforce trend continuation, while Falling Tides highlight weakening conditions.
Volatility & Risk Assessment : Shifts between Calm → Rising Tide often precede volatility expansions. Falling Tides can signal a period of compression or corrective moves, warning traders to manage risk proactively.
Market Context : The indicator does not dictate direction; instead, it overlays strength on top of price action, allowing traders to combine it with directional tools such as moving averages, order blocks, or liquidity zones for confirmation.
Strategy Integration
ADX Tide Zones adapts seamlessly to a wide range of trading strategies by translating momentum dynamics into actionable frameworks:
Trend Following : Traders can align with dominant flows by entering positions when the indicator confirms a Rising Tide or Strong Tide. These conditions signal persistent directional strength, making them ideal for continuation setups. Combining directional bias with ADX confirmation reduces the risk of trading against prevailing momentum.
Breakout Trading : When the market transitions from Calm Tide into a Rising Tide, it often precedes a volatility expansion. This shift highlights breakout conditions where accumulation gives way to impulsive price movement. Traders can use this transition as a timing tool to catch early entries into new momentum phases.
Exhaustion Reversals : Strong Tide phases don’t last forever—when they begin to fade into Falling Tide, it can mark trend fatigue or liquidity exhaustion. This offers contrarian traders an early edge in spotting overextended moves and positioning for corrective pullbacks or full reversals.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis : By overlaying higher timeframe tide zones on intraday or scalping charts, traders can filter noise and trade in alignment with larger flows. For example, combining a daily Rising Tide bias with a 15-minute breakout confirmation can significantly improve entry precision while reducing exposure to false signals.
Advanced Techniques
For traders seeking an extra edge, ADX Tide Zones can be pushed further with advanced methods:
Volume & Liquidity Confirmation : Pair the tide transitions with volume spikes, order flow, or liquidity sweep tools. When directional strength confirmed by the ADX coincides with institutional activity, it validates setups and increases probability of follow-through.
Cross-Asset Synchronization : Momentum rarely exists in isolation. Monitoring tide shifts across correlated instruments (e.g., majors vs. USD, or indices vs. risk assets) can uncover synchronized volatility events. These correlations help traders identify whether a move is isolated noise or part of a broader systemic trend.
Threshold Optimization : The sensitivity of ADX Tide Zones can be fine-tuned for different trading objectives. Lower thresholds heighten responsiveness, capturing micro-moves suitable for scalpers. Higher thresholds filter minor fluctuations, isolating major structural swings that align with swing or position trading.
Contextual Trade Management : Instead of using static stops or targets, traders can adapt risk management dynamically by tracking tide progression. For example, a trade initiated during Rising Tide may remain valid as long as conditions sustain, but partial profits or tighter stops can be applied once the zone shifts to Calm Tide.
Inputs & Customization
ADX Length : Define the lookback period for ADX calculation.
Threshold Levels : Adjust sensitivity for Calm, Rising, Strong, and Falling Tides.
Zone Visualization : Choose between bar coloring, background shading, or overlays.
Color Customization : Configure bullish, bearish, neutral, and tide-specific colors.
Multi-Timeframe Options : Enable tide readings from higher timeframes for confirmation.
Why Use ADX Tide Zones
ADX Tide Zones turns the complexity of momentum analysis into a visual system that highlights when markets are gearing up for moves, trending with conviction, or running out of steam. By combining adaptive ADX interpretation with customizable thresholds, traders can:
Anticipate breakouts before volatility expands.
Confirm the strength behind price trends.
Spot exhaustion phases early to secure profits or prepare for reversals.
Adapt strategies seamlessly between scalping, intraday, and swing trading.
With its balance of simplicity and depth, ADX Tide Zones provides a structured lens for reading market momentum, equipping traders with the clarity needed to execute with discipline and confidence.
Live Market - Performance MonitorLive Market — Performance Monitor
Study material (no code) — step-by-step training guide for learners
________________________________________
1) What this tool is — short overview
This indicator is a live market performance monitor designed for learning. It scans price, volume and volatility, detects order blocks and trendline events, applies filters (volume & ATR), generates trade signals (BUY/SELL), creates simple TP/SL trade management, and renders a compact dashboard summarizing market state, risk and performance metrics.
Use it to learn how multi-factor signals are constructed, how Greeks-style sensitivity is replaced by volatility/ATR reasoning, and how a live dashboard helps monitor trade quality.
________________________________________
2) Quick start — how a learner uses it (step-by-step)
1. Add the indicator to a chart (any ticker / timeframe).
2. Open inputs and review the main groups: Order Block, Trendline, Signal Filters, Display.
3. Start with defaults (OB periods ≈ 7, ATR multiplier 0.5, volume threshold 1.2) and observe the dashboard on the last bar.
4. Walk the chart back in time (use the last-bar update behavior) and watch how signals, order blocks, trendlines, and the performance counters change.
5. Run the hands-on labs below to build intuition.
________________________________________
3) Main configurable inputs (what you can tweak)
• Order Block Relevant Periods (default ~7): number of consecutive candles used to define an order block.
• Min. Percent Move for Valid OB (threshold): minimum percent move required for a valid order block.
• Number of OB Channels: how many past order block lines to keep visible.
• Trendline Period (tl_period): pivot lookback for detecting highs/lows used to draw trendlines.
• Use Wicks for Trendlines: whether pivot uses wicks or body.
• Extension Bars: how far trendlines are projected forward.
• Use Volume Filter + Volume Threshold Multiplier (e.g., 1.2): requires volume to be greater than multiplier × average volume.
• Use ATR Filter + ATR Multiplier: require bar range > ATR × multiplier to filter noise.
• Show Targets / Table settings / Colors for visualization.
________________________________________
4) Core building blocks — what the script computes (plain language)
Price & trend:
• Spot / LTP: current close price.
• EMA 9 / 21 / 50: fast, medium, slow moving averages to define short/medium trend.
o trend_bullish: EMA9 > EMA21 > EMA50
o trend_bearish: EMA9 < EMA21 < EMA50
o trend_neutral: otherwise
Volatility & noise:
• ATR (14): average true range used for dynamic target and filter sizing.
• dynamic_zone = ATR × atr_multiplier: minimum bar range required for meaningful move.
• Annualized volatility: stdev of price changes × sqrt(252) × 100 — used to classify volatility (HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW).
Momentum & oscillators:
• RSI 14: overbought/oversold indicator (thresholds 70/30).
• MACD: EMA(12)-EMA(26) and a 9-period signal line; histogram used for momentum direction and strength.
• Momentum (ta.mom 10): raw momentum over 10 bars.
Mean reversion / band context:
• Bollinger Bands (20, 2σ): upper, mid, lower.
o price_position measures where price sits inside the band range as 0–100.
Volume metrics:
• avg_volume = SMA(volume, 20) and volume_spike = volume > avg_volume × volume_threshold
o volume_ratio = volume / avg_volume
Support & Resistance:
• support_level = lowest low over 20 bars
• resistance_level = highest high over 20 bars
• current_position = percent of price between support & resistance (0–100)
________________________________________
5) Order Block detection — concept & logic
What it tries to find: a bar (the base) followed by N candles in the opposite direction (a classical order block setup), with a minimum % move to qualify. The script records the high/low of the base candle, averages them, and plots those levels as OB channels.
How learners should think about it (conceptual):
1. An order block is a signature area where institutions (theory) left liquidity — often seen as a large bar followed by a sequence of directional candles.
2. This indicator uses a configurable number of subsequent candles to confirm that the pattern exists.
3. When found, it stores and displays the base candle’s high/low area so students can see how price later reacts to those zones.
Implementation note for learners: the tool keeps a limited history of OB lines (ob_channels). When new OBs exceed the count, the oldest lines are removed — good practice to avoid clutter.
________________________________________
6) Trendline detection — idea & interpretation
• The script finds pivot highs and lows using a symmetric lookback (tl_period and half that as right/left).
• It then computes a trendline slope from successive pivots and projects the line forward (extension_bars).
• Break detection: Resistance break = close crosses above the projected resistance line; Support break = close crosses below projected support.
Learning tip: trendlines here are computed from pivot points and time. Watch how changing tl_period (bigger = smoother, fewer pivots) alters the trendlines and break signals.
________________________________________
7) Signal generation & filters — step-by-step
1. Primary triggers:
o Bullish trigger: order block bullish OR resistance trendline break.
o Bearish trigger: bearish order block OR support trendline break.
2. Filters applied (both must pass unless disabled):
o Volume filter: volume must be > avg_volume × volume_threshold.
o ATR filter: bar range (high-low) must exceed ATR × atr_multiplier.
o Not in an existing trade: new trades only start if trade_active is false.
3. Trend confirmation:
o The primary trigger is only confirmed if trend is bullish/neutral for buys or bearish/neutral for sells (EMA alignment).
4. Result:
o When confirmed, a long or short trade is activated with TP/SL calculated from ATR multiples.
________________________________________
8) Trade management — what the tool does after a signal
• Entry management: the script marks a trade as trade_active and sets long_trade or short_trade flags.
• TP & SL rules:
o Long: TP = high + 2×ATR ; SL = low − 1×ATR
o Short: TP = low − 2×ATR ; SL = high + 1×ATR
• Monitoring & exit:
o A trade closes when price reaches TP or SL.
o When TP/SL hit, the indicator updates win_count and total_pnl using a very simple calculation (difference between TP/SL and previous close).
o Visual lines/labels are drawn for TP and updated as the trade runs.
Important learner notes:
• The script does not store a true entry price (it uses close in its P&L math), so PnL is an approximation — treat this as a learning proxy, not a position accounting system.
• There’s no sizing, slippage, or fee accounted — students must manually factor these when translating to real trades.
• This indicator is not a backtesting strategy; strategy.* functions would be needed for rigorous backtest results.
________________________________________
9) Signal strength & helper utilities
• Signal strength is a composite score (0–100) made up of four signals worth 25 points each:
1. RSI extreme (overbought/oversold) → 25
2. Volume spike → 25
3. MACD histogram magnitude increasing → 25
4. Trend existence (bull or bear) → 25
• Progress bars (text glyphs) are used to visually show RSI and signal strength on the table.
Learning point: composite scoring is a way to combine orthogonal signals — study how changing weights changes outcomes.

10) Dashboard — how to read each section (walkthrough)
The dashboard is split into sections; here's how to interpret them:
1. Market Overview
o LTP / Change%: immediate price & daily % change.
2. RSI & MACD
o RSI value plus progress bar (overbought 70 / oversold 30).
o MACD histogram sign indicates bullish/bearish momentum.
3. Volume Analysis
o Volume ratio (current / average) and whether there’s a spike.
4. Order Block Status
o Buy OB / Sell OB: the average base price of detected order blocks or “No Signal.”
5. Signal Status
o 🔼 BUY or 🔽 SELL if confirmed, or ⚪ WAIT.
o No-trade vs Active indicator summarizing market readiness.
6. Trend Analysis
o Trend direction (from EMAs), market sentiment score (composite), volatility level and band/position metrics.
7. Performance
o Win Rate = wins / signals (percentage)
o Total PnL = cumulative PnL (approximate)
o Bull / Bear Volume = accumulated volumes attributable to signals
8. Support & Resistance
o 20-bar highest/lowest — use as nearby reference points.
9. Risk & R:R
o Risk Level from ATR/price as a percent.
o R:R Ratio computed from TP/SL if a trade is active.
10. Signal Strength & Active Trade Status
• Numeric strength + progress bar and whether a trade is currently active with TP/SL display.
________________________________________
11) Alerts — what will notify you
The indicator includes pre-built alert triggers for:
• Bullish confirmed signal
• Bearish confirmed signal
• TP hit (long/short)
• SL hit (long/short)
• No-trade zone
• High signal strength (score > 75%)
Training use: enable alerts during a replay session to be notified when the indicator would have signalled.
________________________________________
12) Labs — hands-on exercises for learners (step-by-step)
Lab A — Order Block recognition
1. Pick a 15–30 minute timeframe on a liquid ticker.
2. Use default OB periods (7). Mark each time the dashboard shows a Buy/Sell OB.
3. Manually inspect the chart at the base candle and the following sequence — draw the OB zone by hand and watch later price reactions to it.
4. Repeat with OB periods 5 and 10; note stability vs noise.
Lab B — Trendline break confirmation
1. Increase trendline period (e.g., 20), watch trendlines form from pivots.
2. When a resistance break is flagged, compare with MACD & volume: was momentum aligned?
3. Note false breaks vs confirmed moves — change extension_bars to see projection effects.
Lab C — Filter sensitivity
1. Toggle Use Volume Filter off, and record the number and quality of signals in a 2-day window.
2. Re-enable volume filter and change threshold from 1.2 → 1.6; note how many low-quality signals are filtered out.
Lab D — Trade management simulation
1. For each signalled trade, record the time, close entry approximation, TP, SL, and eventual hit/miss.
2. Compute actual PnL if you had entered at the open of the next bar to compare with the script’s PnL math.
3. Tabulate win rate and average R:R.
Lab E — Performance review & improvement
1. Build a spreadsheet of signals over 30–90 periods with columns: Date, Signal type, Entry price (real), TP, SL, Exit, PnL, Notes.
2. Analyze which filters or indicators contributed most to winners vs losers and adjust weights.
________________________________________
13) Common pitfalls, assumptions & implementation notes (things to watch)
• P&L simplification: total_pnl uses close as a proxy entry price. Real entry/exit prices and slippage are not recorded — so PnL is approximate.
• No position sizing or money management: the script doesn’t compute position size from equity or risk percent.
• Signal confirmation logic: composite "signal_strength" is a simple 4×25 point scheme — explore different weights or additional signals.
• Order block detection nuance: the script defines the base candle and checks the subsequent sequence. Be sure to verify whether the intended candle direction (base being bullish vs bearish) aligns with academic/your trading definition — read the code carefully and test.
• Trendline slope over time: slope is computed using timestamps; small differences may make lines sensitive on very short timeframes — using bar_index differences is usually more stable.
• Not a true backtester: to evaluate performance statistically you must transform the logic into a strategy script that places hypothetical orders and records exact entry/exit prices.
________________________________________
14) Suggested improvements for advanced learners
• Record true entry price & timestamp for accurate PnL.
• Add position sizing: risk % per trade using SL distance and account size.
• Convert to strategy. (Pine Strategy)* to run formal backtests with equity curves, drawdowns, and metrics (Sharpe, Sortino).
• Log trades to an external spreadsheet (via alerts + webhook) for offline analysis.
• Add statistics: average win/loss, expectancy, max drawdown.
• Add additional filters: news time blackout, market session filters, multi-timeframe confirmation.
• Improve OB detection: combine wick/body, volume spike at base bar, and liquidity sweep detection.
________________________________________
15) Glossary — quick definitions
• ATR (Average True Range): measure of typical range; used to size targets and stops.
• EMA (Exponential Moving Average): trend smoothing giving more weight to recent prices.
• RSI (Relative Strength Index): momentum oscillator; >70 overbought, <30 oversold.
• MACD: momentum oscillator using difference of two EMAs.
• Bollinger Bands: volatility bands around SMA.
• Order Block: a base candle area with subsequent confirmation candles; a zone of institutional interest (learning model).
• Pivot High/Low: local turning point defined by candles on both sides.
• Signal Strength: combined score from multiple indicators.
• Win Rate: proportion of signals that hit TP vs total signals.
• R:R (Risk:Reward): ratio of potential reward (TP distance) to risk (entry to SL).
________________________________________
16) Limitations & assumptions (be explicit)
• This is an indicator for learning — not a trading robot or broker connection.
• No slippage, fees, commissions or tie-in to real orders are considered.
• The logic is heuristic (rule-of-thumb), not a guarantee of performance.
• Results are sensitive to timeframe, market liquidity, and parameter choices.
________________________________________
17) Practical classroom / study plan (4 sessions)
• Session 1 — Foundations: Understand EMAs, ATR, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands. Run the indicator and watch how these numbers change on a single day.
• Session 2 — Zones & Filters: Study order blocks and trendlines. Test volume & ATR filters and note changes in false signals.
• Session 3 — Simulated trading: Manually track 20 signals, compute real PnL and compare to the dashboard.
• Session 4 — Improvement plan: Propose changes (e.g., better PnL accounting, alternative OB rule) and test their impact.
________________________________________
18) Quick reference checklist for each signal
1. Was an order block or trendline break detected? (primary trigger)
2. Did volume meet threshold? (filter)
3. Did ATR filter (bar size) show a real move? (filter)
4. Was trend aligned (EMA 9/21/50)? (confirmation)
5. Signal confirmed → mark entry approximation, TP, SL.
6. Monitor dashboard (Signal Strength, Volatility, No-trade zone, R:R).
7. After exit, log real entry/exit, compute actual PnL, update spreadsheet.

Hourly High/Low Sweep Lines – Fixed HorizontalMarks out the hourly high and lows for levels of liquidity for take profits
NQ FVG + MSS ChecklistThe NQ FVG + MSS Quick Checklist is a simple yet powerful visual tool for traders focusing on the Nasdaq 100 (NQ) futures. It provides a step-by-step checklist to assess trade setups based on key market concepts like Fair Value Gaps (FVG), Market Structure Shifts (MSS), session highs/lows, and previous day levels.
This indicator helps you quickly see which elements of your trading plan are met before entering a trade. Each checklist item can be manually toggled, and a cumulative Trade Score provides a quick visual guide to setup strength.
Key Features:
Step-by-step checklist for NQ trading setups
Track levels: Session highs/lows & Previous Day High/Low
Spot 5M FVG and Retests
Identify MSS on 1M and find 1M FVG inside MSS
Manual SL & TP guidance
Trade Score for quick setup strength assessment
Fully visible table overlay on top of the chart
How to Use:
Mark session & previous day levels
Observe reaction at key levels (Sweep or Continue)
Identify 5M FVG and any retests
Spot 1M MSS and 1M FVG inside MSS
Set SL/TP based on FVG extremes and next session levels

Note: This indicator is manual input-based, letting traders tick off items as they analyze the chart, making it a lightweight trading checklist HUD that stays on top of all chart elements.
ICT Structure Levels (ST/IT/LT) - v7 (by Jonas E)ICT Structure Levels (ST/IT/LT) – Neighbor-Wick Pivots
This indicator is designed for traders following ICT-style market structure analysis. It identifies Short-Term (ST), Intermediary (IT), and Long-Term (LT) swing highs and lows, but with a stricter filter that reduces false signals.
Unlike standard pivot indicators, this script requires not only that a bar makes a structural high/low, but also that the neighboring bars’ extremes are formed by wicks rather than flat-bodied candles. This wick condition helps confirm that the level is a true liquidity sweep and not just random price action.
How it works (conceptual):
Detects pivots based on user-defined left/right bars.
Validates that extremes on both sides of the pivot are wick-driven (high > body for highs, low < body for lows).
Marks valid STH/STL, ITH/ITL, and LTH/LTL directly on the chart with optional price labels.
Uses ATR offset for better label readability.
Alerts can be enabled to notify when a new structural level is confirmed.
How to use it:
Map market structure across multiple layers (ST/IT/LT).
Identify true liquidity grabs and avoid false highs/lows.
Integrate with Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) strategies.
Combine with other ICT concepts (Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, Liquidity Pools).
What makes it unique:
Most pivot indicators mark every high/low indiscriminately. This script filters pivots using wick validation, which significantly reduces noise and focuses only on the levels most relevant to liquidity-based trading strategies.
MACROFLOW 200 — Bias & Triggersstephtradez model

Locations = 1H supply/demand zones.
Triggers (15m): (T1) Retest rejection, (T2) Liquidity sweep + BOS/CHOCH, (T3) Momentum break + shallow pullback.
Stops: structure‑based beyond zone with ATR buffer.
Targets: 2R base, scale at 1.5R, trail to next HTF zone.
Sessions: 7–10 pm ET and 9:30–10:30 am ET.
Risk: tight, prop‑friendly max 1% per session
Cheat CodeWhy Monday & Friday
Monday evening (NY): frequently seeds the weekly expansion. Its DR/IDR often acts as a weekly “starter envelope,” useful for breakout continuation or fade back into the box plays as liquidity builds.
Friday evening (NY): often exposes end-of-week traps (run on stops into the close) and sets expectation boundaries into the following week. Carry these levels forward to catch Monday’s reaction to Friday’s closing structure.
Typical use-cases
Breakout & retest:
Price closes outside the Monday DR/IDR → look for retests of the band edge for continuation.
Liquidity sweep (“trap”) recognition:
Friday session wicks briefly beyond Friday DR/IDR then closes back inside → watch for mean reversion early next week.
Bias filter:
Above both Monday DR midline and Friday DR midline → bias long until proven otherwise; the inverse for shorts.
Session open confluence:
Reactions at the open line frequently mark decision points for momentum vs. fade setups.
(This is a levels framework, not a signals engine. Combine with your execution model: orderflow, S/R, session timing, or higher-TF bias.)
Inputs & styling (quick reference)
Display toggles (per day):
Show DR / IDR / Middle DR / Middle IDR
Show Opening Line
Show DR/IDR Box (choose DR or IDR as box source)
Show Price Labels
Style controls (per day):

Practical notes
Works on intraday charts; levels are anchored using weekly timestamps for accuracy on any symbol.
Live updating: During the Mon/Fri calc windows, DR/IDR highs/lows and midlines keep updating until the session ends.
Clean drawings: Lines, box, and labels are created once per session and then extended/updated—efficient on resources even with long display windows.
Max elements: Script reserves ample line/box/label capacity for stability across weeks.
Savages Supply and Demand LevelsThis supply and demand indicator in my opinion is one of the best S&D indicators on trading view. It is clean, organized and just simple. I have spent thousands of hours determining the best and most reliable ways to identify supply and demand, on every time frame! I am going to explain exactly what I look for.
When looking for a supply level meaning, there is potential for more supply of the following stock to hit the marker, what does that mean? People are going to sell. SO, it represents possible sell ordered at that supply level. So lets get into the grit of this, there are two candles that form when a supply level is formed. The first candle needs to be green, it will have a high, a low , an open and a close. The specifics come into play with the next candle which needs to be red, that candle can NOT break the previous green candles high, and needs to close below the previous candles low. THATS IT! That is a supply level. Now, for a demand level, its the same thing just switched, we need a red candle, that will have a high,low, open and a close. Same thing now, the next candle is going to be green, that green candle can NOT break that previous red candles low and needs to close above that previous red candles high. THATS A DEMAND!
I have spent countless hours back testing and studying this, I am extremely confident that this will be a game changer for whoever uses this. I have marked different types of opening and closes and highs and lows and this specific type of setup has worked countless times for me, the only time it will not work is when there is a liquidity sweep or some sort of news where it causes the price action to swing several points. Also do not use only one time frame and only this indicator, try to use some fair value gap levels and break of structure indicators, there are really good ones on here. I have also built the indicator to get rid of supply and demand levels that have already been hit so you always have a clean and fresh supply and demand level that has not been eaten into yet. I also threw some clean labels on there so it is easy to identify. So once price action hits that supply or demand level, it goes away, it either worked or it gets invalidated.
I hope you enjoy!
