Institutional Orderflow Pro — VWAP, Delta, and Liquidity
Institutional Orderflow Pro is a next-generation order flow analysis indicator designed to help traders identify institutional participation, directional bias, and exhaustion zones in real time.
Unlike traditional volume-based indicators, it merges VWAP dynamics, cumulative delta, relative volume, and liquidity proximity into a single unified dashboard that updates tick-by-tick — without repainting.
The indicator is open-source, transparent, and educational. It aims to provide traders with a clearer read on who controls the market — buyers or sellers — and where liquidity lies.
The indicator combines multiple institutional-grade analytics into one framework:
RVOL (Relative Volume) = Compares current volume against the average of recent bars to identify strong institutional participation.
zΔ (Delta Z-Score) = Normalizes the buying/selling delta to reveal unusually aggressive market behavior.
CVDΔ (Cumulative Volume Delta Change) = Shows which side (buyers/sellers) is dominating this bar’s order flow.
VWAP Direction & Slope = Determines whether price is trading above/below VWAP and whether VWAP is trending or flat.
PD Distance (Prev Day Confluence) = Measures the current price’s distance from previous day’s high, low, close, and VWAP in ATR units — highlighting liquidity zones.
ABS/EXH Detection = Identifies institutional absorption and exhaustion patterns where momentum may reverse.
Bias Computation = Combines VWAP direction + slope to give a simplified regime signal: UP, DOWN, or FLAT.
All metrics are displayed through a color-coded, non-repainting HUD:
🟢 = bullish / favorable conditions
🔴 = bearish / weak conditions
⚫ = neutral / flat
🟡 = absorption (potential trap zone)
🟠 = exhaustion (momentum fading)
| Metric | Signal | Meaning |
| ---------------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **RVOL ≥ 1.3** | 🟢 | High institutional activity — valid setup zone |
| **zΔ ≥ 1.2 / ≤ -1.2** | 🟢 / 🔴 | Unusual buy/sell aggression |
| **CVDΔ > 0** | 🟢 | Buyers dominate this bar |
| **VWAP dir ↑ / ↓** | 🟢 / 🔴 | Institutional bias long/short |
| **Slope ok = YES** | 🟢 | Trending market |
| **PD dist ≤ 0.35 ATR** | 🟢 | Near key liquidity zones |
| **Bias = UP/DOWN** | 🟢 / 🔴 | Trend-aligned environment |
| **ABS/EXH active** | 🟡 / 🟠 | Caution — possible reversal zone |
How to Use
Confirm Volume Context → RVOL > 1.2
Align with Bias → Take longs only when Bias = UP, shorts only when Bias = DOWN.
Check Slope and VWAP Dir → Ensure trending context (Slope = YES).
Confirm CVD and zΔ → Flow should agree with price direction.
Avoid ABS/EXH Triggers → These signal exhaustion or absorption by large players.
Enter Near PD Zones → Ideal trade zones are within 0.35 ATR of prior-day levels.
This multi-factor confirmation reduces noise and focuses only on high-probability institutional setups.
Originality
This script was written from scratch in Pine v6.
It does not reuse existing public indicators except for standard built-ins (ta.vwap, ta.atr, etc.).
The unique combination of delta z-scoring, VWAP slope filtering, and real-time confluence zones distinguishes it from typical orderflow tools or cumulative delta overlays.
The core innovation is its merged real-time HUD that integrates institutional metrics and natural-language feedback directly on the chart, allowing traders to read market context intuitively rather than decode multiple subplots.
Notes & Disclaimers
This indicator does not repaint.
It’s intended for educational and analytical purposes only — not as financial advice or a guaranteed signal system.
Works best on liquid instruments (Futures, Indices, FX majors).
Avoid non-standard chart types (Heikin Ashi, Renko, etc.) for accurate readings.
Open-source, modifiable, and compatible with Pine v6.
Recommended Use
Apply it with clean charts and standard candles for the best clarity.
Use alongside a basic structure or volume profile to contextualize institutional bias zones.

Order Flow RSI - Price / CVD / OIOrder Flow RSI blends three powerful market perspectives — Price , Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) , and Open Interest (OI) — into one unified RSI-style oscillator.
It reveals momentum and imbalance across these data streams and highlights situations where participation, liquidity, and positioning disagree — moments that often precede reversals.
What it does
The indicator converts:
Price → RSI (classic momentum),
CVD → RSI (buy/sell pressure balance),
OI → RSI (position expansion/contraction)
…then plots all three RSIs together on the same 0–100 scale.
A fourth Consensus RSI (average of any two or all three) can optionally be shown to simplify the view.
Core logic
CVD engine – based on TradingView’s native volume-delta request.
Modes: Continuous (default, smooth line), Anchored (resets each session), Rolling window.
Open Interest – pulled automatically from the symbol’s “_OI” feed; aligns to chart timeframe for real-time flow.
RSI calculation – standard RSI applied to each data stream, optionally smoothed (SMA / EMA / RMA / WMA / VWMA).
Signals – optional background highlights when:
All three RSIs are overbought (red) or oversold (green), or
Any pair show opposite extremes (e.g., price overbought + OI oversold).
Consensus RSI – arithmetic mean of the selected RSIs, summarizing overall market tone.
Inputs overview
CVD settings: anchor period, lower-TF delta, mode, rolling length
RSI lengths: separate for price, CVD, OI
Smoothing: type + period applied to all RSIs at once
Consensus: choose which RSIs to average
Signals: enable/disable each combination; optional alerts
Levels: adjustable OB/MID/OS (default 70 / 50 / 30)
Visuals: fill between active RSIs, background highlights, level lines, colors in Style tab
How to read it
All 3 overbought (red): broad exhaustion → possible correction
All 3 oversold (green): broad depletion → possible bounce
Opposite pairs: divergence between price and participation
Price↑ but OI↓ (red) → weak rally, fading participation
Price↓ but CVD↑ (green) → hidden accumulation
Combine with structure and volume profile for confirmation.
Notes
Works best on assets with full CVD + OI data (futures, BTC, etc.).
Use Continuous CVD for smooth RSI, Anchored for session analysis.
Smoothing 2–5 EMA is a good starting point to reduce noise.
All styling (colors, line types, thickness) is adjustable in the Style tab.
Limitations & caveats
CVD requires accurate tick/volume/delta data from your data feed. Performance may differ across instruments.
OI availability varies by exchange / symbol. Where OI is absent, pairwise OI signals are not evaluated.
This indicator is a tool — it generates signals of interest, not guaranteed profitable trades. Backtest and combine with your risk rules.
Smoothing introduces lag; longer smoothing reduces noise but delays signals.
Order Flow RSI bridges traditional momentum analysis and order-flow context — giving a multi-dimensional view of when markets are truly stretched or quietly reloading.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Aggression Bulbs v3.1 (Sessions + Bias, fixed)EYLONAggression Bulbs v3.2 (Sessions + Bias + Volume Surge)
This indicator highlights aggressive buy and sell activity during the London and New York sessions, using volume spikes and candle body dominance to detect institutional momentum.
⚙️ Main Logic
Compares each candle’s volume vs average volume (Volume Surge).
Checks body size vs full candle range to detect strong directional moves.
Uses an EMA bias filter to align signals with the current trend.
Displays green bubbles for aggressive buyers and red bubbles for aggressive sellers.
🕐 Sessions
London: 08:00–12:59 UTC+1
New York: 14:00–18:59 UTC+1
(Backgrounds: Yellow = London, Orange = New York)
📊 How to Read
🟢 Green bubble below bar → Aggressive BUY candle (strong demand).
🔴 Red bubble above bar → Aggressive SELL candle (strong supply).
Bubble size = relative strength (volume × candle dominance).
Use in confluence with key POI zones, volume profile, or delta clusters.
⚠️ Tips
Use on 1m–15m charts for scalping or intraday analysis.
Combine with your session bias or FVG zones for higher accuracy.
Set alerts when score ≥ threshold to catch early momentum.
Hidden Liquidity Shift DetectorPurpose
The Hidden Liquidity Shift Detector identifies candles that indicate potential hidden accumulation or distribution activity based on volume and price action behavior. These setups often represent institutional absorption of liquidity ahead of larger moves.
How It Works
The script detects candles with the following characteristics:
Small real body relative to the total candle range
A strong wick (upper or lower) indicating rejection
Volume significantly higher than the recent average
It flags:
Hidden Selling (Distribution) when a bearish candle has a long upper wick and high volume
Hidden Buying (Accumulation) when a bullish candle has a long lower wick and high volume
These candles are often missed by traditional indicators but may precede significant reversals or breakouts.
Features
Automatic detection of absorption-style candles
Volume spike filtering based on configurable multiplier
Wick and body ratio thresholds to fine-tune signal quality
Non-intrusive signal markers (colored circles)
Real-time alerts for hidden buying/selling signals
Usage Tips
Use on 15m to 4H charts for intraday detection, or Daily for swing setups
Combine with support/resistance or volume profile zones for higher conviction
Clusters of signals in the same area increase reversal probability

This section plots horizontal lines representing support and resistance levels based on highs and lows over three distinct lookback periods, plus daily nearest levels.
Short-Term Lookback Period (Default: 20 bars)
Plots the highest high (short_high) and lowest low (short_low) over the specified period.
Visualized as dotted lines with customizable colors (Short-Term Resistance Color, Short-Term Support Color) and opacity (Short-Term Resistance Opacity, Short-Term Support Opacity).
Adjustment Tip: Increase the lookback (e.g., to 30-50) for less frequent but stronger levels on higher timeframes, or decrease (e.g., to 10-15) for scalping on lower timeframes.
Long-Term Lookback Period (Default: 50 bars)
Plots broader support (long_low) and resistance (long_high) levels using a solid line style.
Customizable via Long-Term Resistance Color, Long-Term Support Color, and their respective opacity settings.
Adjustment Tip: Extend to 100-200 bars for swing trading or major trend analysis on daily/weekly charts.
Extra-Long Lookback Period (Default: 100 bars)
Identifies significant historical highs (extra_long_high) and lows (extra_long_low) with dashed lines.
Configurable with Extra-Long Resistance Color, Extra-Long Support Color, and opacity settings.
Adjustment Tip: Use 200-500 bars for monthly charts to capture macro-level key zones.
Daily Nearest Resistance and Support Levels
Dynamically calculates the nearest resistance (daily_res_level) and support (daily_sup_level) based on the current day’s price action relative to historical highs and lows.
Displayed with Daily Resistance Color and Daily Support Color (with opacity options).
Adjustment Tip: Works best on intraday charts (e.g., 15m, 1h) to track daily pivots; combine with volume profile for confirmation.
How It Works: These levels update dynamically as new highs/lows form, providing a visual guide to potential reversal or breakout zones.
2. SMC Inputs (Smart Money Concepts)
This section identifies swing structures, order blocks, fair value gaps, and entry signals based on SMC principles.
SMC Swing Lookback Period (Default: 12 bars)
Defines the period for detecting swing highs (smc_swing_high) and lows (smc_swing_low).
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 20-30 for smoother swings on higher timeframes; reduce to 5-10 for faster signals on lower timeframes.
Minimum Swing Size (%) (Default: 0.5%)
Filters out minor price movements to focus on significant swings.
Adjustment Tip: Raise to 1-2% for volatile markets (e.g., crypto) to avoid noise; lower to 0.2-0.3% for forex pairs with tight ranges.
Order Block Sensitivity (Default: 1.0)
Scales the size of detected order blocks (OBs) for bullish reversal (smc_ob_bull), bearish reversal (smc_ob_bear), and continuation (smc_cont_ob).
Visuals include customizable colors, opacity, border thickness, and blinking effects (e.g., SMC Bullish Reversal OB Color, SMC Bearish Reversal OB Blink Thickness).
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 1.5-2.0 for wider OBs in choppy markets; keep at 1.0 for precision in trending conditions.
Minimum FVG Size (%) (Default: 0.3%)
Sets the minimum gap size for Fair Value Gaps (fvg_high, fvg_low), displayed as boxes with Fair Value Gap Color and FVG Opacity.
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 0.5-1% for larger, more reliable gaps; decrease to 0.1-0.2% for scalping smaller inefficiencies.
How It Works:
Bullish Reversal OB: Detects a bearish candle followed by a bullish break, marking a potential demand zone.
Bearish Reversal OB: Identifies a bullish candle followed by a bearish break, marking a supply zone.
Continuation OB: Spots strong bullish momentum after a prior high, indicating a continuation zone.
FVG: Highlights bullish gaps where price may retrace to fill.
Entry Signals: Plots triangles (SMC Long Entry) when price retests an OB with a liquidity sweep or break of structure (BOS).
3. Trap Inputs
This section detects potential bull and bear traps based on price action, volume, and key level rejections.
Min Down Move for Bear Trap (%) (Default: 1.0%)
Sets the minimum drop required after a bearish OB to qualify as a trap.
Visualized with Bear Trap Color, Bear Trap Opacity, and blinking borders.
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 2-3% for stronger traps in trending markets; lower to 0.5% for ranging conditions.
Min Up Move for Bull Trap (%) (Default: 1.0%)
Sets the minimum rise required after a bullish OB to flag a trap.
Customizable with Bull Trap Color, Bull Trap Border Thickness, etc.
Adjustment Tip: Adjust similarly to bear traps based on market volatility.
Volume Lookback for Traps (Default: 5 bars)
Compares current volume to a moving average (avg_volume) to filter low-volume traps.
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 10-20 for confirmation on higher timeframes; reduce to 3 for intraday sensitivity.
How It Works:
Bear Trap: Triggers when price drops significantly after a bearish OB but reverses up with low volume or support rejection.
Bull Trap: Activates when price rises after a bullish OB but fails with low volume or resistance rejection.
Boxes highlight trap zones, resetting when price breaks out.
4. Visual Customization
Line Width (Default: 2)
Adjusts thickness of support/resistance lines.
Tip: Increase to 3-4 for visibility on cluttered charts.
Blink On (Default: Close)
Sets whether OB/FVG borders blink based on Open or Close price interaction.
Tip: Use "Open" for intraday precision; "Close" for confirmed reactions.
Colors and Opacity: Each element (OBs, FVGs, traps, key levels) has customizable colors, opacity (0-100), border thickness (1-5 or 1-7), and blink effects for dynamic visualization.
How to Use SMC+
Setup: Apply the indicator to any chart and adjust inputs based on your timeframe and market.
Key Levels: Watch for price reactions at short, long, extra-long, or daily levels for potential reversals or breakouts.
SMC Signals: Look for entry signals (triangles) near OBs or FVGs, confirmed by liquidity sweeps or BOS.
Traps: Avoid false breakouts by monitoring trap boxes, especially near key levels with low volume.

300-Candle Weighted Average Zones w/50 EMA SignalsThis indicator is designed to deliver a more nuanced view of price dynamics by combining a custom, weighted price average with a volatility-based zone and a trend filter (in this case, a 50-period exponential moving average). The core concept revolves around capturing the overall price level over a relatively large lookback window (300 candles) but with an intentional bias toward recent market activity (the most recent 20 candles), thereby offering a balance between long-term context and short-term responsiveness. By smoothing this weighted average and establishing a “zone” of standard deviation bands around it, the indicator provides a refined visualization of both average price and its recent volatility envelope. Traders can then look for confluence with a standard trend filter, such as the 50 EMA, to identify meaningful crossover signals that may represent trend shifts or opportunities for entry and exit.
What the Indicator Does:
Weighted Price Average:
Instead of using a simple or exponential moving average, this indicator calculates a custom weighted average price over the past 300 candles. Most historical candles receive a base weight of 1.0, but the most recent 20 candles are assigned a higher weight (for example, a weight of 2.0). This weighting scheme ensures that the calculation is not simply a static lookback average; it actively emphasizes current market conditions. The effect is to generate an average line that is more sensitive to the most recent price swings while still maintaining the historical context of the previous 280 candles.
Smoothing of the Weighted Average:
Once the raw weighted average is computed, an exponential smoothing function (EMA) is applied to reduce noise and produce a cleaner, more stable average line. This smoothing helps traders avoid reacting prematurely to minor price fluctuations. By stabilizing the average line, traders can more confidently identify actual shifts in market direction.
Volatility Zone via Standard Deviation Bands:
To contextualize how far price can deviate from this weighted average, the indicator uses standard deviation. Standard deviation is a statistical measure of volatility—how spread out the price values are around the mean. By adding and subtracting one standard deviation from the smoothed weighted average, the indicator plots an upper band and a lower band, creating a zone or channel. The area between these bands is filled, often with a semi-transparent color, highlighting a volatility corridor within which price and the EMA might oscillate.
This zone is invaluable in visualizing “normal” price behavior. When the 50 EMA line and the weighted average line are both within this volatility zone, it indicates that the market’s short- to mid-term trend and its average pricing are aligned well within typical volatility bounds.
Incorporation of a 50-Period EMA:
The inclusion of a commonly used trend filter, the 50 EMA, adds another layer of context to the analysis. The 50 EMA, being a widely recognized moving average length, is often considered a baseline for intermediate trend bias. It reacts faster than a long-term average (like a 200 EMA) but is still stable enough to filter out the market “chop” seen in very short-term averages.
By overlaying the 50 EMA on this custom weighted average and the surrounding volatility zone, the trader gains a dual-dimensional perspective:
Trend Direction: If the 50 EMA is generally above the weighted average, the short-term trend is gaining bullish momentum; if it’s below, the short-term trend has a bearish tilt.
Volatility Normalization: The bands, constructed from standard deviations, provide a sense of whether the price and the 50 EMA are operating within a statistically “normal” range. If the EMA crosses the weighted average within this zone, it signals a potential trend initiation or meaningful shift, as opposed to a random price spike outside normal volatility boundaries.
Why a Trader Would Want to Use This Indicator:
Contextualized Price Level:
Standard MAs may not fully incorporate the most recent price dynamics in a large lookback window. By weighting the most recent candles more heavily, this indicator ensures that the trader is always anchored to what the market is currently doing, not just what it did 100 or 200 candles ago.
Reduced Whipsaw with Smoothing:
The smoothed weighted average line reduces noise, helping traders filter out inconsequential price movements. This makes it easier to spot genuine changes in trend or sentiment.
Visual Volatility Gauge:
The standard deviation bands create a visual representation of “normal” price movement. Traders can quickly assess if a breakout or breakdown is statistically significant or just another oscillation within the expected volatility range.
Clear Trade Signals with Confirmation:
By integrating the 50 EMA and designing signals that trigger only when the 50 EMA crosses above or below the weighted average while inside the zone, the indicator provides a refined entry/exit criterion. This avoids chasing breakouts that occur in abnormal volatility conditions and focuses on those crossovers likely to have staying power.
How to Use It in an Example Strategy:
Imagine you are a swing trader looking to identify medium-term trend changes. You apply this indicator to a chart of a popular currency pair or a leading tech stock. Over the past few days, the 50 EMA has been meandering around the weighted average line, both confined within the standard deviation zone.
Bullish Example:
Suddenly, the 50 EMA crosses decisively above the weighted average line while both are still hovering within the volatility zone. This might be your cue: you interpret this crossover as the 50 EMA acknowledging the recent upward shift in price dynamics that the weighted average has highlighted. Since it occurred inside the normal volatility range, it’s less likely to be a head-fake. You place a long position, setting an initial stop just below the lower band to protect against volatility.
If the price continues to rise and the EMA stays above the average, you have confirmation to hold the trade. As the price moves higher, the weighted average may follow, reinforcing your bullish stance.
Bearish Example:
On the flip side, if the 50 EMA crosses below the weighted average line within the zone, it suggests a subtle but meaningful change in trend direction to the downside. You might short the asset, placing your protective stop just above the upper band, expecting that the statistically “normal” level of volatility will contain the price action. If the price does break above those bands later, it’s a sign your trade may not work out as planned.
Other Indicators for Confluence:
To strengthen the reliability of the signals generated by this weighted average zone approach, traders may want to combine it with other technical studies:
Volume Indicators (e.g., Volume Profile, OBV):
Confirm that the trend crossover inside the volatility zone is supported by volume. For instance, an uptrend crossover combined with increasing On-Balance Volume (OBV) or volume spikes on up candles signals stronger buying pressure behind the price action.
Momentum Oscillators (e.g., RSI, Stochastics):
Before taking a crossover signal, check if the RSI is above 50 and rising for bullish entries, or if the Stochastics have turned down from overbought levels for bearish entries. Momentum confirmation can help ensure that the trend change is not just an isolated random event.
Market Structure Tools (e.g., Pivot Points, Swing High/Low Analysis):
Identify if the crossover event coincides with a break of a previous pivot high or low. A bullish crossover inside the zone aligned with a break above a recent swing high adds further strength to your conviction. Conversely, a bearish crossover confirmed by a breakdown below a previous swing low can make a short trade setup more compelling.
Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP):
Comparing where the weighted average zone lies relative to VWAP can provide institutional insight. If the bullish crossover happens while the price is also holding above VWAP, it can mean that the average participant in the market is in profit and that the trend is likely supported by strong hands.
This indicator serves as a tool to balance long-term perspective, short-term adaptability, and volatility normalization. It can be a valuable addition to a trader’s toolkit, offering enhanced clarity and precision in detecting meaningful shifts in trend, especially when combined with other technical indicators and robust risk management principles.
Price Action UltimateThe Price Action Ultimate indicator is an innovative tool designed to provide traders with a comprehensive view of price action based on either volume or touches. By default, the indicator displays touches, offering a unique perspective on price levels that have been frequently interacted with by the market.
At its core, the indicator divides the price range of a specified lookback period into a number of rows (default 25). For each row, it calculates either the volume traded or the number of times the price touched that level. This data is then visualized in two ways: as a histogram and as horizontal lines on the chart.
The histogram, displayed on the right side of the chart, represents the distribution of touches (or volume) across different price levels. Each bar in the histogram shows the number of touches and the percentage of total touches for that price level. The color of the bars ranges from a user-defined low activity color to a high activity color, providing a quick visual reference for the most active price levels.
The horizontal lines drawn across the chart represent the most significant levels based on touches (or volume). By default, the indicator displays the top 3 levels, but this can be adjusted. The thickness of these lines corresponds to the relative importance of each level - thicker lines indicate more touches or higher volume. This feature allows traders to quickly identify key support and resistance levels based on historical price action.
One of the most innovative aspects of this indicator is the option to fade older levels over time. When enabled, this feature gradually increases the transparency of lines as they age, with newer levels appearing more prominently. This helps traders focus on the most recent and relevant price action while still maintaining awareness of older, potentially significant levels.
The indicator offers flexibility in its display options. Users can choose to show levels based on volume, touches, or both. This allows traders to compare and contrast different perspectives on price action. Additionally, the indicator includes options to display a volume profile and a background fill for the analysis range, further enhancing its visual appeal and informational content.
What makes this indicator particularly valuable is its ability to provide a clear, uncluttered view of key price levels without relying on complex calculations or multiple indicators. It distills price action down to its essence - where price has spent the most time or where the most trading activity has occurred. This can be incredibly useful for identifying potential support and resistance levels, areas of consolidation, or possible breakout points.
For traders focused on price action strategies, this indicator offers a powerful tool to enhance their analysis. It provides a data-driven approach to identifying significant price levels, which can be used to inform entry and exit decisions, set stop losses, or anticipate potential market reactions.
This indicator is a tool to aid in market analysis and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions. Always combine multiple forms of analysis and practice proper risk management when trading. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Uptrick: Market MoodsThe "Uptrick: Market Moods" indicator is an advanced technical analysis tool designed for the TradingView platform. It combines three powerful indicators—Relative Strength Index (RSI), Average True Range (ATR), and Bollinger Bands—into one cohesive framework, aimed at helping traders better understand and interpret market sentiment. By capturing shifts in the emotional climate of the market, it provides a holistic view of market conditions, which can range from calm to stressed or even highly excited. This multi-dimensional analysis tool stands apart from traditional single-indicator approaches by offering a more complete picture of market dynamics, making it a valuable resource for traders looking to anticipate and react to changes in market behavior.
The RSI in the "Uptrick: Market Moods" indicator is used to measure momentum. RSI is an essential component of many technical analysis strategies, and in this tool, it is used to identify potential market extremes. When RSI values are high, they indicate an overbought condition, meaning the market may be approaching a peak. Conversely, low RSI values suggest an oversold condition, signaling that the market could be nearing a bottom. These extremes provide crucial clues about shifts in market sentiment, helping traders gauge whether the current emotional state of the market is likely to result in a reversal. This understanding is pivotal in predicting whether the market is transitioning from calm to stressed or from excited to overbought.
The Average True Range adds another layer to this analysis by offering insights into market volatility. Volatility is a key factor in understanding the mood of the market, as periods of high volatility often reflect high levels of excitement or stress, while low volatility typically indicates a calm, steady market. ATR is calculated based on the range of price movements over a given period, and the higher the value, the more volatile the market is. The "Uptrick: Market Moods" indicator uses ATR to dynamically gauge volatility levels, helping traders understand whether the market is currently moving in a way that aligns with its emotional mood. For example, an increase in ATR accompanied by an RSI value that indicates overbought conditions could suggest that the market is in a highly excited state, with the potential for either strong momentum continuation or a sharp reversal.
Bollinger Bands complement these tools by providing visual cues about price volatility and the range within which the market is likely to move. Bollinger Bands plot two standard deviations away from a simple moving average of the price. This banding technique helps traders visualize how far the price is likely to deviate from its average over a certain period. The "Uptrick: Market Moods" indicator uses Bollinger Bands to establish price boundaries and identify breakout conditions. When prices break above the upper band or below the lower band, it often signals that the market is either highly stressed or excited. This breakout condition serves as a visual representation of the market mood, alerting traders to moments when prices are moving beyond typical ranges and when significant emotional shifts are occurring in the market.
Technically, the "Uptrick: Market Moods" indicator has been developed using TradingView’s Pine Script language, a highly efficient language for building custom indicators. It employs functions like ta.rsi, ta.atr, and ta.sma to perform the necessary calculations. The use of these built-in functions ensures that the calculations are both accurate and efficient, allowing the indicator to operate in real-time without lagging, even in volatile market conditions. The ta.rsi function is used to compute the Relative Strength Index, while ta.atr calculates the Average True Range, and ta.sma is used to smooth out price data for the Bollinger Bands. These functions are applied dynamically within the script, allowing the "Uptrick: Market Moods" indicator to respond to changes in market conditions in real time.
The user interface of the "Uptrick: Market Moods" indicator is designed to provide a visually intuitive experience. The market mood is color-coded on the chart, making it easy for traders to identify whether the market is calm, stressed, or excited at a glance. This feature is especially useful for traders who need to make quick decisions in fast-moving markets. Additionally, the indicator includes an interactive table that updates in real-time, showing the most recent mood state and its frequency. This provides valuable statistical insights into market behavior over specific time frames, helping traders track the dominant emotional state of the market. Whether the market is in a prolonged calm state or rapidly transitioning through moods, this real-time feedback offers actionable data that can help traders adjust their strategies accordingly.
The RSI component of the "Uptrick: Market Moods" indicator helps detect the speed and direction of price movements, offering insight into whether the market is approaching extreme conditions. By providing signals based on overbought and oversold levels, the RSI helps traders decide whether to enter or exit positions. The ATR element acts as a volatility gauge, dynamically adjusting traders’ expectations in response to changes in market volatility. Meanwhile, the Bollinger Bands help identify trends and potential breakout conditions, serving as an additional confirmation tool that highlights when the price has moved beyond normal boundaries, indicating heightened market excitement or stress.
Despite the robust capabilities of the "Uptrick: Market Moods" indicator, it does have limitations. In markets affected by sudden shifts, such as those driven by major news events or external economic factors, the indicator’s performance may not always be reliable. These external factors can cause rapid mood swings that are difficult for any technical analysis tool to fully anticipate. Additionally, the indicator’s complexity may pose a learning curve for novice traders, particularly those who are unfamiliar with the concepts of RSI, ATR, and Bollinger Bands. However, with practice, traders can become proficient in using the tool to its full potential, leveraging the insights it provides to better navigate market shifts.
For traders seeking a deeper understanding of market sentiment, the "Uptrick: Market Moods" indicator is an invaluable resource. It is recommended for those dealing with medium to high volatility instruments, where understanding emotional shifts can offer a strategic advantage. While it can be used on its own, integrating it with other forms of analysis, such as fundamental analysis and additional technical indicators, can enhance its effectiveness. By confirming signals with other tools, traders can reduce the likelihood of false signals and improve their overall trading strategy.
To further enhance the accuracy of the "Uptrick: Market Moods" indicator, it can be integrated with volume-based tools like Volume Profile or On-Balance Volume (OBV). This combination allows traders to confirm the moods identified by the indicator with volume data, providing additional confirmation of market sentiment. For example, when the market is in an excited mood, an increase in trading volume could reinforce the reliability of that signal. Conversely, if the market is stressed but volume remains low, traders may want to proceed with caution. Using multiple indicators together creates a more comprehensive trading approach, helping traders better manage risk and make informed decisions based on multiple data points.
In conclusion, the "Uptrick: Market Moods" indicator is a powerful and unique addition to the suite of technical analysis tools available on TradingView. It provides traders with a multi-dimensional view of market sentiment by combining the analytical strengths of RSI, ATR, and Bollinger Bands into a single tool. Its ability to capture and interpret the emotional mood of the market makes it an essential tool for traders seeking to gain an edge in understanding market behavior. While the indicator has certain limitations, particularly in rapidly shifting markets, its ability to provide real-time insights into market sentiment is a valuable asset for traders of all experience levels. Used in conjunction with other tools and sound trading practices, the "Uptrick: Market Moods" indicator offers a comprehensive solution for navigating the complexities of financial markets.
nPOC Levels by Tyler### Explanation of the Pine Script
This Pine Script identifies and displays weekly naked Points of Control (nPOCs) on a TradingView chart. An nPOC represents a Point of Control (POC) from a previous week that has not been revisited by price action in subsequent weeks. These nPOCs are extended to the right as horizontal lines, indicating potential support or resistance levels.
#### Script Overview
1. **Indicator Declaration:**
```pinescript
//@version=5
indicator("Weekly nPOCs", overlay=true)
```
- The script is defined as a version 5 Pine Script.
- The `indicator` function sets the script's name ("Weekly nPOCs") and specifies that the indicator should be overlaid on the price chart (`overlay=true`).
2. **Function to Calculate POC:**
```pinescript
f_poc(_hl2, _vol) =>
var float vol_profile = na
if (na(vol_profile))
vol_profile := array.new_float(100, 0.0)
_bin_size = (high - low) / 100
for i = 0 to 99
if _hl2 >= low + i * _bin_size and _hl2 < low + (i + 1) * _bin_size
array.set(vol_profile, i, array.get(vol_profile, i) + _vol)
max_volume = array.max(vol_profile)
poc_index = array.indexof(vol_profile, max_volume)
poc_price = low + poc_index * _bin_size + _bin_size / 2
poc_price
```
- The function `f_poc` calculates the Point of Control (POC) for a given period.
- It takes two parameters: `_hl2` (the average of the high and low prices) and `_vol` (volume).
- A volume profile array (`vol_profile`) is initialized to store volume data across different price bins.
- The price range between the high and low is divided into 100 bins (`_bin_size`).
- The function iterates over each bin, accumulating the volumes for prices within each bin.
- The bin with the maximum volume is identified as the POC (`poc_price`).
3. **Variables to Store Weekly Data:**
```pinescript
var float poc = na
var float prev_poc = na
var line poc_lines = na
if na(poc_lines)
poc_lines := array.new_line(0)
```
- `poc` stores the current week's POC.
- `prev_poc` stores the previous week's POC.
- `poc_lines` is an array to store lines representing nPOCs. The array is initialized if it is `na` (not initialized).
4. **Calculate Weekly POC:**
```pinescript
is_new_week = ta.change(time('W')) != 0
if (is_new_week)
prev_poc := poc
poc := f_poc(hl2, volume)
if not na(prev_poc)
line new_poc_line = line.new(x1=bar_index, y1=prev_poc, x2=bar_index + 100, y2=prev_poc, color=color.red, width=2)
label.new(x=bar_index, y=prev_poc, text="nPOC", style=label.style_label_down, color=color.red, textcolor=color.white)
array.push(poc_lines, new_poc_line)
```
- `is_new_week` checks if the current bar is the start of a new week using the `ta.change(time('W'))` function.
- If it's a new week, the previous week's POC is stored in `prev_poc`, and the current week's POC is calculated using `f_poc`.
- If `prev_poc` is not `na`, a new line (`new_poc_line`) representing the nPOC is created, extending it to the right (for 100 bars).
- A label is created at the `prev_poc` level, marking it as "nPOC".
- The new line is added to the `poc_lines` array.
5. **Remove Old Lines:**
```pinescript
if array.size(poc_lines) > 52
line.delete(array.shift(poc_lines))
```
- This section ensures that only the last 52 weeks of nPOCs are kept to avoid cluttering the chart.
- If the `poc_lines` array contains more than 52 lines, the oldest line is deleted using `array.shift`.
6. **Plot the Current Week's POC as a Reference:**
```pinescript
plot(poc, title="Current Weekly POC", color=color.blue, linewidth=2, style=plot.style_line)
```
- The current week's POC is plotted as a blue line on the chart for reference.
#### Summary
This script calculates and identifies weekly Points of Control (POCs) and marks them as nPOCs if they remain untouched by subsequent price action. These nPOCs are displayed as horizontal lines extending to the right, providing traders with potential support or resistance levels. The script also manages the number of lines plotted to maintain a clear and uncluttered chart.
CVD Divergence Strategy.1.mmThis is the matching Strategy version of Indicator of the same name.
As a member of the K1m6a Lions discussion community we often use versions of the Cumulative Volume Delta indicator
as one of our primary tools along with RSI, RSI Divergences, Open interest, Volume Profile, TPO and Fibonacci levels.
We also discuss visual interpretations of CVD Divergences across multiple time frames much like RSI divergences.
RSI Divergences can be identified as possible Bullish reversal areas when the RSI is making higher low points while
the price is making lower low points.
RSI Divergences can be identified as possible Bearish reversal areas when the RSI is making lower high points while
the price is making higher high points.
CVD Divergences can also be identified the same way on any timeframe as possible reversal signals. As with RSI, these Divergences
often occur as a trend's momentum is giving way to lower volume and areas when profits are being taken signaling a possible reversal
of the current trending price movement.
Hidden Divergences are identified as calculations that may be signaling a continuation of the current trend.
Having not found any public domain versions of a CVD Divergence indicator I have combined some public code to create this
indicator and matching strategy. The calculations for the Cumulative Volume Delta keep a running total for the differences between
the positive changes in volume in relation to the negative changes in volume. A relative upward spike in CVD is created when
there is a large increase in buying vs a low amount of selling. A relative downward spike in CVD is created when
there is a large increase in selling vs a low amount of buying.
In the settings menu, the is a drop down to be used to view the results in alternate timeframes while the chart remains on current timeframe. The Lookback settings can be adjusted so that the divs show on a more local, spontaneous level if set at 1,1,60,1. For a deeper, wider view of the divs, they can be set higher like 7,7,60,7. Adjust them all to suit your view of the divs.
To create this indicator/strategy I used a portion of the code from "Cumulative Volume Delta" by @ contrerae which calculates
the CVD from aggregate volume of many top exchanges and plots the continuous changes on a non-overlay indicator.
For the identification and plotting of the Divergences, I used similar code from the Tradingview Technical "RSI Divergence Indicator"
This indicator should not be used as a stand-alone but as an additional tool to help identify Bullish and Bearish Divergences and
also Bullish and Bearish Hidden Divergences which, as opposed to regular divergences, may indicate a continuation.

PhantomFlow DynamicLevelsThe PhantomFlow Dynamic Levels indicator analyzes the dynamic volume over the period specified in the Period field. Channel boundaries can be used as dynamic support and resistance levels when trading within a range. The POC level also serves as a level at which the price may react during trend movements. The Period Multiplier parameter affects how many dynamic levels will be displayed. The Accuracy parameter influences the precision of volume calculations.
These levels are crucial for intraday traders as they serve as support or resistance. The Value Area zone includes 70% of the traded volume over the selected period. In other words, it represents the price region where the majority of traders believe the fair value for the asset lies.
The indicator's name, Dynamic Levels, aptly captures its essence. It analyzes trading volume at various price levels, tracking the sentiment dynamics of traders. When the asset's price decreases or increases as a result of trading, the Dynamic Levels indicator displays a new level on the chart. This results in a plotted line on the chart, allowing us to observe the movement dynamics of both the value area and the maximum volume level.
Standard indicators do not provide real-time visibility into level shifts, making the use of the Dynamic Levels indicator a competitive advantage in market trading across any time frame.
We borrowed the volume profile calculation code from @LonesomeTheBlue. Thank you for the work done!
Pre-Market Volume ProfileThis indicator displays the pre-market volume (note: without the post-market of the previous day).
Unusual pre-market volume often indicates that institutional market makers are moving the market, which is a good sign for unusual high price movement.
The indicator helps me to spot stocks, if a pre-market gap is confirmed with enough (unusual) volume.
You can define, what "unusual" means by you, by adjusting the SMA length and the SMA multiplier.
The default is a length of 21 bars and a 2.5 multiplier, meaning I'm interested in a stock, if the pre-market volume exceeds the average pre-market volume by 2.5 times.
Angled Volume Profile [feeble]BETA VERSION
this indicator maps volume as brightness over an SMA. the brightness then fades over time.
It draws 30 bands, so you will need to load multiple instances to get a large picture.
Configure the settings, then copy and paste the indicator, modifying only the vertOffset attribute each time
Patience, bruh. This takes a long time load. Chrome runs it faster than Firefox. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Please let me know if you can think of how to optimize it.
Feedback is appreciated is you use it :)
sample with 6 instances:
settings:
useLog: enable if you are using a log graph
rowHeight: resolution of rows.
vertOffset: normally if you have 5 instances, the values will be -2,-1,0,1,2
fadeAmt: how long it takes for volume to fade once it is picked up
volumeMin and Max: the volume range displayed.
volumeResolution: time resolution at which volume data is collected - this is why the fadeAmt is so high, and why the graph runs out of data after a period back
EMA length: its Actually SMA but I wrote it wrong. eg. for a 20 day period on a 15min chart you go ( 20 days x 24 hrs x 4 quarter hours = 1920) - I hope to automate this in a future version :p
AnchoredVolume ProDescription

## What This Indicator Does
This indicator combines two powerful concepts to identify complete market cycles:
### 1. Squeeze Momentum (LazyBear)
Detects **volatility compression** (consolidation) and subsequent **expansion** (breakout).
**Think of it like:** A spring being compressed, then released.
### 2. Multi-Timeframe Trend Exhaustion
Measures how far price has moved from its moving averages across multiple timeframes.
**Think of it like:** A rubber band being stretched—eventually it must snap back.
### The Complete Cycle
```
Consolidation → Breakout → Trend → Exhaustion → Reversion → Consolidation
```
This indicator shows you exactly where you are in this cycle.

1. ⚫→⚪ Squeeze just turned OFF (gray cross)
2. 📊 Momentum bars bright GREEN and rising
3. 🔻 Extension area BELOW lower dashed line (oversold)
4. ⭐ Confluence: 3/5 or more timeframes agree (shown as "🔻" in table)
**Visual:** Large green triangle appears
**What this means:** Price was oversold across multiple timeframes, consolidated, and is now breaking out upward with fresh momentum.
**Entry:** Next candle after signal
**Stop Loss:** Below recent consolidation low
**Take Profit:** When extension area crosses back above zero, or when exit signal appears

Table shows "EXHAUSTION BULL"
Action: EXIT position
Book profits
Step 5: REVERSION
Chart: Price falls back toward moving averages
Indicator: Extension area shrinks back toward zero
Red momentum bars appear
Action: Wait for next setup
```
**Result:** Caught the entire trend from breakout to exhaustion.

### Example 2: Failed Breakout (What NOT to Trade)
```
Situation:
- Squeeze OFF (gray cross) ✓
- Momentum bars bright green ✓
- BUT extension area ABOVE upper line (already overbought) ✗
- Confluence shows 1/5 (only one timeframe agrees) ✗
Indicator: Small green triangle (medium confidence) or no triangle
What happens: Price makes small move up, then reverses
Lesson: Don't chase extended moves even if squeeze fires.
Wait for price to be on the RIGHT SIDE of the extension lines.
```

### Example 3: Exhaustion Reversal Trade
```
Step 1: EXTENDED (⚠️)
Chart: Strong uptrend for days
Indicator: Extension area deep in red zone (>2σ)
Momentum still bright green but starting to shorten
Table: "EXTENDED UP" / "CAUTION LONG"
Action: Watch closely, tighten stops
Step 2: EXHAUSTION (🔴)
Chart: Price makes final push but with decreasing volume
Indicator: Momentum bars turn DARK green
Orange X appears
Table: "EXHAUSTION BULL" + "4/5 🔺"
Action: CLOSE any longs
Consider SHORT entry
Step 3: SQUEEZE FORMS (Optional)
Chart: Price starts consolidating
Indicator: Cross turns BLACK (Squeeze ON)
Extension area falling toward zero
Action: Wait for Squeeze OFF to confirm reversal
Step 4: BREAKOUT DOWN (⚡)
Indicator: Cross turns GRAY
Bright RED momentum bars
Large red triangle appears
Action: ENTER SHORT (reversal confirmed)
```
**Result:** Exited at the top, caught the reversal.

### Understanding the Table
Located in top-right corner:
| Row | Meaning |
|-----|---------|
| **Market State** | Current cycle phase (Consolidation/Breakout/Trending/Exhaustion) |
| **Squeeze** | 🔴 ON / 🟢 OFF / 🔵 No |
| **Momentum** | ↑ Bull / ↓ Bear / ~ Weak / — Neutral |
| **Extension** | Actual value in standard deviations (σ) - NOT scaled |
| **Confluence** | How many timeframes agree (X/5 🔺 or 🔻) |
| **Velocity** | Speed of extension change (↑ increasing, ↓ decreasing) |
| **ACTION** | What to do right now |
**Most important rows:**
1. **Market State** - Quick glance at current cycle
2. **Confluence** - Determines signal quality
3. **ACTION** - Direct guidance
---
## Best Practices
### ✅ DO
1. **Wait for High Confidence signals** (large triangles)
- Don't trade every small signal
- Quality over quantity
2. **Use the complete cycle**
- Enter on Breakout (⚡)
- Hold through Trending (↗️/↘️)
- Exit on Exhaustion (🔴/🟢)
3. **Respect confluence**
- 4/5 or 5/5 = Excellent probability
- 3/5 = Good probability
- 1-2/5 = Skip
4. **Combine with price action**
- Support/resistance levels
- Volume confirmation
- Candlestick patterns
5. **Set alerts**
- "Squeeze OFF" - Don't miss breakouts
- "HC Long Setup" / "HC Short Setup"
- "Exit Long" / "Exit Short"
6. **Scale positions**
- Enter 50% on signal
- Add 25% if extension confirms
- Add final 25% if momentum sustains
7. **Use proper risk management**
- Stop loss: Below/above consolidation
- Position size: 1-2% account risk
- Take profit: Extension targets or signals
---
### ❌ DON'T
1. **Don't trade Consolidation state**
- Black cross (Squeeze ON) = Wait mode
- No signals during consolidation
2. **Don't chase Extended moves**
- If extension already >2σ when Squeeze fires
- Even if momentum looks good
- Wait for reversion first
3. **Don't fight strong trends**
- If extension is growing and momentum strong
- Don't counter-trend trade
- Wait for exhaustion signals
4. **Don't ignore velocity**
- If velocity is ↑ and extension high = still dangerous
- If velocity is ↓ and extension high = safer reversal
5. **Don't trade low confluence**
- 1/5 or 2/5 = Different timeframes disagree
- High chance of false signal
6. **Don't use blindly**
- Check overall market context
- Major news events can override signals
- Trend on higher timeframe matters
7. **Don't overtrade**
- Good setups are rare (that's why they work)
- Wait for complete setup formation

## Quick Reference Card
### Signal Quality Checklist
**⭐⭐⭐ PERFECT SETUP (Trade this)**
- Squeeze just turned OFF (⚫→⚪)
- Momentum bright and directional
- Extension >2σ (OPPOSITE direction of entry)
- Confluence ≥3/5
- Large triangle signal
- Action says "LONG/SHORT ENTRY ⭐"
**⭐⭐ GOOD SETUP (Trade with caution)**
- Squeeze OFF
- Momentum directional
- Extension moderate
- Confluence ≥3/5
- Small triangle or Action confirms
**⭐ WEAK SETUP (Skip)**
- Low confluence (<3/5)
- Extension same direction as entry
- Momentum weak or conflicting
- Already in Extended/Exhaustion state

### State → Action Quick Guide
| See This State | Do This |
|---------------|---------|
| 💤 CONSOLIDATION | Wait, set alerts |
| ⚡ BREAKOUT | Enter in direction |
| ↗️/↘️ TRENDING | Hold positions |
| ⚠️ EXTENDED | Tighten stops, no new entries |
| 🔴/🟢 EXHAUSTION | Exit, consider reversal |
| — NEUTRAL | No trade |

## Troubleshooting
**Q: Indicator shows Exhaustion but price keeps going**
**A:** Check velocity and momentum. If still bright bars + velocity ↑, wait. True exhaustion needs momentum weakening.
**Q: Too many false signals**
**A:** Increase Min Confluence to 4/5. Use longer timeframe chart (4h instead of 1h).
**Q: Missing good trades**
**A:** Set alerts for "Squeeze OFF" and "HC Entry" signals. You can't watch charts 24/7.
**Q: Extension area looks weird**
**A:** Remember it's scaled 3x for visibility. Check table for actual values.
**Q: Which timeframe is best?**
**A:** 4H for swing trading, 1H for day trading. Lower = more signals but more noise.
**Q: Can I use this with other indicators?**
**A:** Yes! Combine with:
- Volume profile
- Support/resistance levels
- Moving averages on chart
- RSI for additional confirmation

## Final Thoughts
This indicator gives you a complete picture of market structure:
- **Where are we?** (Market State)
- **Where are we going?** (Momentum)
- **How far can it go?** (Extension)
- **When will it reverse?** (Exhaustion)
The key is **patience**. Wait for the complete setup:
1. Consolidation (⚫ Squeeze ON)
2. Breakout (⚪ Squeeze OFF)
3. Right extension direction (oversold for longs, overbought for shorts)
4. Strong confluence (3/5+)
When all pieces align, you get high-probability trades with clear entries, targets, and exits.
**Trade the cycle, not every wiggle.**

Pivot Move Ranges█ OVERVIEW
“Pivot Move Ranges” is an indicator that displays only the historical price ranges of moves that match the direction of the current swing.
It measures the price range of each individual swing and draws them as horizontal Δ-boxes positioned at the level of the most recently detected pivot.
The indicator operates with a delay equal to the set pivot detection length – after each new Pivot High, only red Δ-boxes appear showing the sizes of previous downward moves; after each new Pivot Low, only green Δ-boxes appear showing the sizes of previous upward moves. When the swing direction changes, the displayed set of levels instantly switches to the opposite direction.
█ CONCEPTS
The indicator was created to instantly provide the trader with objective, real historical price ranges – perfectly reinforcing classic tools such as Fibonacci extension/retracement, daily/weekly pivots, moving averages, order blocks, or Volume Profile.
It detects classic Pivot High and Pivot Low points:
- New Pivot High → only previous downward moves are shown (red Δ-boxes)
- New Pivot Low → only previous upward moves are shown (green Δ-boxes)
This ensures that at any moment you see only the historical ranges that match the current market direction. Price moves very often repeat themselves – the indicator makes these recurring levels immediately visible and ready to serve as natural reinforcement for other technical analysis tools.
█ FEATURES
- Pivot High / Pivot Low detection with adjustable length (default 12)
- Δ-boxes – thin horizontal lines showing the exact size of previous moves that match the current swing
- Automatic switching of the Δ-box set whenever a new opposite pivot appears
- Memory of the last N moves (default 6, max. 50) – oldest are automatically removed
- Labels showing move size (Δ) and start date/time
- Full color customization (separate for up and down), border and text transparency
- Choice of date format (DD.MM.YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY)
- Small circles marking the exact pivot locations
█ HOW TO USE
Add the indicator to your TradingView chart → paste the code → Add to Chart.
Settings:
- Pivot Length – higher values = fewer but more significant pivots (detected with a delay equal to this length)
- Max Corrections to Keep – how many previous matching moves are displayed at once
- Upward / Downward Box Color – colors of the Δ-boxes
- Box Border Transparency (%) – 0 = solid lines, 50–70 = subtle
- Show Δ Text + Move Start Date – turn labels on/off
Interpretation:
At any given moment the chart shows only the historical ranges of moves in the current direction:
- after a Pivot High → red Δ-boxes = “how far the market previously fell”
- after a Pivot Low → green Δ-boxes = “how far the market previously rose”
█ APPLICATIONS
- Instant reinforcement of technical levels – historical moves matching the current swing direction often coincide with Fibonacci levels, daily/weekly pivots, moving averages, or order blocks
- Fast cluster detection – set a high Max Corrections value (30–50) to see where the largest number of similarly sized moves cluster, then reduce to 6–10 and focus only on the most recent levels
█ NOTES
- On very strong trends, Δ-boxes can be extremely long – this is normal and correct behavior
- Always use as a supporting layer alongside other technical analysis tools
