Volume Biased CandlesVolume Biased Candles
This indicator visualizes the underlying volume polarity of price action by coloring candles based on directional volume bias over a rolling bucket of bars.
Instead of reading price alone, each candle reflects whether buying or selling pressure has dominated within its recent volume structure — giving a more intuitive picture of volume sentiment beneath price movement.
🔹 How it works
Bucket Size (n) → defines how many candles are aggregated to evaluate directional volume bias
For each bucket, total up-volume and down-volume are compared to determine overall market pressure
Volume Bias Score → a continuous ratio from -1 to +1, representing the relative dominance of buyers or sellers
Candles are colored according to the active bias — green for positive (buying), red for negative (selling)
🔹 Use cases
Visualize shifts in market control without needing divergence overlays
Combine with delta divergence or price structure tools to validate entries and exits
Simplify volume and price insights into an intuitive, single-chart visualization
✨ Volume Biased Candles transforms standard candles into a live sentiment gauge, revealing whether the dominant flow behind price movement is bullish or bearish.

AlphaMACD - Adaptive MACD with Efficiency RatioOVERVIEW
AlphaMACD is an adaptive implementation of the classic MACD indicator that dynamically adjusts its calculation periods based on market efficiency. Unlike traditional MACD which uses fixed periods (typically 12, 26, 9), this indicator adapts its fast and slow EMA periods in real-time based on how efficiently the market is trending.
WHAT MAKES THIS ORIGINAL
This is not a simple MACD with different settings or colors. The core innovation is the adaptive period calculation using Kaufman's Efficiency Ratio, which was originally developed for the Adaptive Moving Average (AMA). This indicator applies that adaptive logic to MACD itself.
Key Differences from Standard MACD:
- Periods dynamically adjust between user-defined ranges (default: 8-21 for fast, 21-55 for slow)
- Uses Kaufman's Efficiency Ratio to measure market trendiness
- Implements gap protection to prevent extreme spikes from market gaps
- Includes market regime detection to filter signals in choppy conditions
- Provides multi-timeframe trend confirmation
HOW IT WORKS
1. Efficiency Ratio Calculation:
The indicator calculates market efficiency by comparing the absolute price change over a period to the sum of absolute price changes within that period. High efficiency = strong trending market. Low efficiency = choppy/sideways market.
2. Adaptive Period Adjustment:
- In trending markets (high efficiency): Periods move toward the minimum values for faster response
- In choppy markets (low efficiency): Periods move toward the maximum values for slower, more stable signals
- The "Sensitivity" parameter controls how aggressively periods adapt (0.5 to 5.0)
3. Gap Protection:
The custom adaptive EMA function detects abnormal price gaps (moves larger than 3x the typical ATR-based change) and limits their impact on the calculation. This prevents weekends or news gaps from causing extreme MACD spikes.
4. Signal Quality Filtering:
- Market regime detection identifies trending vs sideways conditions
- Momentum filter (RSI-based) prevents signals during overextended moves
- Signal strength calculation helps identify high-confidence setups
- Sideways market signals are marked with warning symbols
5. Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
The indicator compares current timeframe MACD with a higher timeframe (default 60 min) to provide context and filter against-trend signals.
HOW TO USE IT
Settings:
- Core Settings: Define the minimum and maximum periods for fast/slow EMAs
- Sensitivity: Higher values make the indicator more responsive to market changes
- Multi-timeframe: Set a higher timeframe for trend confirmation
- Visual options: Customize appearance and enable/disable features
Signal Interpretation:
- Strong bullish/bearish signals (large triangles): High-confidence entries in trending markets
- Warning signals (small ⚠): Crossovers in sideways markets - use caution or skip
- Divergence labels ("DIV"): Price and MACD diverging - potential reversal
- Background color: Green tint = trending market, Orange tint = sideways market
The Information Table shows:
- Current market regime (trending or sideways)
- Market efficiency percentage (how clean the trend is)
- Current adaptive fast and slow periods
- Higher timeframe trend direction
- Current signal strength
Best Practices:
- In trending markets: Trust strong signals, avoid warning signals
- In sideways markets: Reduce position sizes or skip trades entirely
- Use higher timeframe confirmation for better signal quality
- Adjust sensitivity based on your trading timeframe (higher for intraday, lower for swing)
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Calculation Method:
- Efficiency Ratio = ABS(Close - Close ) / SUM(ABS(Close - Close ), Period)
- Smoothed Efficiency = EMA(Efficiency Ratio, 5)
- Fast Period = Fast_Min + (Fast_Max - Fast_Min) × (1 - Smoothed_Efficiency × Sensitivity)
- Slow Period = Slow_Min + (Slow_Max - Slow_Min) × (1 - Smoothed_Efficiency × Sensitivity)
- Adaptive EMA uses standard EMA formula with gap detection and limiting
- MACD = Fast Adaptive EMA - Slow Adaptive EMA
- Signal = EMA(MACD, Signal Period)
- Histogram = MACD - Signal
The adaptive periods are calculated on every bar, so the MACD responds faster in trending conditions and stabilizes during consolidation.
WHAT THIS SOLVES
Standard MACD Problems:
- Fixed periods don't adapt to changing market conditions
- Too many false signals in sideways markets
- Whipsaws during low-volatility consolidation
- Price gaps can cause misleading spikes
AlphaMACD Solutions:
- Periods automatically adjust to market state
- Market regime filter identifies and warns about sideways conditions
- Adaptive smoothing reduces whipsaws
- Gap protection prevents false extremes
LIMITATIONS
- Like all indicators, this does not predict the future
- Requires trending markets for optimal performance
- Adaptive calculation means backtesting results will differ from fixed-period MACD
- More complex than standard MACD - requires understanding of adaptive concepts
- The adaptive periods mean you cannot directly compare this to traditional MACD studies
This indicator is best used as part of a complete trading system, not as a standalone signal generator.
EDUCATIONAL VALUE
For traders learning about:
- Adaptive indicators and market efficiency concepts
- Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average principles applied to oscillators
- Market regime detection and signal filtering

SZO - Signal Zone Oscillator ## Signal Zone Oscillator - SZO
**Created by:** @TraderCurses
**Version:** 1.0 (October 2025)
### ▌ OVERVIEW
The Signal Zone Oscillator (SZO) is a comprehensive momentum tool designed to provide a clearer, more nuanced view of market dynamics. It synthesizes three of the most powerful classic indicators—RSI, a unique MACD Ratio, and the Stochastic oscillator—into a single, unified signal.
The indicator's core feature is the **"Signal Zone"**: a colored area between the main oscillator line and its moving average filter. This zone makes it incredibly easy to visualize shifts in momentum, trends, and potential entry/exit points.
### ▌ KEY FEATURES
* **Composite Formula:** Combines RSI, MACD Ratio, and Stochastic using a weighted average to measure underlying market momentum.
* **The Signal Zone:** The flagship feature. The area between the SZO line and its filter is colored **green** in a bullish context (SZO above filter) and **red** in a bearish context (SZO below filter).
* **Dynamic Coloring:** Both the main SZO line and its filter change color dynamically, providing instant feedback on direction and strength.
* **Zero-Line Reference:** A dashed zero line acts as a classic equilibrium level, helping to confirm stronger bullish or bearish momentum.
* **Fully Customizable:** Every parameter is adjustable. You can change the lengths, sources, and even the weights of the core indicators from the settings menu.
* **Built-in Alerts:** Comes with pre-configured alerts for crossovers of the filter and the zero line, allowing you to automate your monitoring.
### ▌ HOW TO USE IT
The SZO provides several clear signals for traders:
1. **Bullish Signal:**
* The SZO line crosses **above** its filter.
* The Signal Zone turns **green**.
* A cross above the zero line can be used as further confirmation of strong bullish momentum.
2. **Bearish Signal:**
* The SZO line crosses **below** its filter.
* The Signal Zone turns **red**.
* A cross below the zero line can be used as further confirmation of strong bearish momentum.
3. **Divergences:**
* Like any oscillator, look for divergences between the SZO's peaks/troughs and the price action to spot potential reversals.
This tool is designed for traders who want to cut through the noise and get a clear, actionable signal from multiple momentum sources at once. Happy trading!
Metallic Retracement LevelsThere's something that's always bothered me about how traders use Fibonacci retracements. Everyone treats the golden ratio like it's the only game in town, but mathematically speaking, it's completely arbitrary. The golden ratio is just the first member of an infinite family of metallic means, and there's no particular reason why 1.618 should be special for markets when we have the silver ratio at 2.414, the bronze ratio at 3.303, and literally every other metallic mean extending to infinity. We just picked one and decided it was magical.
The metallic means are a sequence of mathematical constants that generalize the golden ratio. They're defined by the equation x² = kx + 1, where k is any positive integer. When k equals 1, you get the golden ratio. When k equals 2, you get the silver ratio. When k equals 3, you get bronze, and so on forever. Each metallic mean generates its own set of ratios through successive powers, just like how the golden ratio gives you 0.618, 0.382, 0.236 and so forth. The silver ratio produces a completely different set of retracement levels, as does bronze, as does any arbitrary metallic number you want to choose.
This indicator calculates these metallic means using the standard alpha and beta formulas. For any metallic number k, alpha equals (k + sqrt(k² + 4)) / 2, and we generate retracement ratios by raising alpha to various negative powers. The script algorithmically generates these levels instead of hardcoding them, which is how it should have been done from the start. It's genuinely silly that most fib tools just hardcode the ratios when the math to generate them is straightforward. Even worse, traditional fib retracements use 0.5 as a level, which isn't even a fibonacci ratio. It's just thrown in there because it seems like it should be important.
The indicator works by first detecting swing points using the Sylvain Zig-Zag . The zig-zag identifies significant price swings by combining percentage change with ATR adjustments, filtering out noise and connecting major pivot points. This is what drives the retracement levels. Once a new swing is confirmed, the script calculates the range between the last two pivot points and generates metallic retracement levels from the most recent swing low or high.
You can adjust which metallic number to use (golden, silver, bronze, or any positive integer), control how many power ratios to display above and below the 1.0 level, and set how many complete retracement cycles you want drawn. The levels extend from the swing point and show you where price might react based on whichever metallic mean you've selected. The zig-zag settings let you tune the sensitivity of swing detection through ATR period, ATR multiplier, percentage reversal, and additional absolute or tick-based reversal values.
What this really demonstrates is that retracement analysis is more flexible than most traders realize. There's no mathematical law that says markets must respect the golden ratio over any other metallic mean. They're all valid mathematical constructs with the same kind of recursive properties. By making this tool, I wanted to highlight that using fibonacci retracements involves an arbitrary choice, and maybe that choice should be more deliberate or at least tested against alternatives. You can experiment with different metallic numbers and see which ones seem to work better for your particular market or timeframe, or just use this to understand that the standard fib levels everyone uses aren't as fundamental as they appear.
Engulfing Failure & Overlap Zones [HASIB]🧭 Overview
Engulfing Failure & Overlap Zones is a smart price action–based indicator that detects failed engulfing patterns and overlapping zones where potential liquidity traps or reversal setups often occur.
It’s designed to visually highlight both bullish and bearish failed engulfing areas with clean labels and zone markings, making it ideal for traders who follow Smart Money Concepts (SMC) or price action–driven trading.
⚙️ Core Concept
Engulfing patterns are powerful reversal signals — but not all of them succeed.
This indicator identifies:
When a Buy Engulfing setup fails and overlaps with a Sell Engulfing zone, and
When a Sell Engulfing setup fails and overlaps with a Buy Engulfing zone.
These overlapping areas often represent liquidity grab zones, reversal points, or Smart Money manipulation levels.
🎯 Key Features
✅ Detects both Buy and Sell Engulfing Failures
✅ Highlights Overlapping (OL) zones with colored rectangles
✅ Marks Buy EG OL / Sell EG OL labels automatically
✅ Fully customizable visuals — colors, padding, and zone styles
✅ Optimized for both scalping and swing trading
✅ Works on any timeframe and any instrument
⚡ How It Helps
Identify liquidity traps before reversals happen
Visually see Smart Money overlap zones between opposing engulfing structures
Strengthen your entry timing and confirmation zones
Combine with your own SMC or ICT-based trading setups for higher accuracy
📊 Recommended Use
Use on higher timeframes (e.g., M15, H1, H4) to confirm major liquidity zones.
Use on lower timeframes (e.g., M1–M5) for precision entries inside the detected zones.
Combine with tools like Order Blocks, Break of Structure (BOS), or Fair Value Gaps (FVG).
🧠 Pro Tip
When a failed engulfing overlaps with an opposite engulfing zone, it often signals market maker intent to reverse price direction after liquidity has been taken. Watch these zones closely for strong reaction candles.
Composite Stochastic Oscillator (CSO) [SharpStrat]Composite Stochastic Oscillator (CSO)
The Composite Stochastic Oscillator (CSO) is a refined momentum tool designed to improve on the limitations of the traditional stochastic indicator. Standard stochastics are often too sensitive, producing choppy signals and frequent false turns. CSO tackles this problem by combining multiple stochastic calculations, each with different lengths and smoothing settings, into a single, balanced output.
The goal of combining these stochastic variants is to create a more stable and reliable reading of market momentum. Each version of the stochastic captures different aspects of price behavior like shorter ones react faster, while longer ones filter noise. CSO brings them together mathematically to form a composite oscillator that reacts smoothly and consistently across varying market conditions. This makes it a useful improvement over the standard stochastic, providing traders with a more dependable signal while retaining the familiar interpretation framework.
How It Works
Calculates five independent stochastic oscillators with customizable K, D, and slowing parameters.
Each stochastic contributes to the final composite value according to its assigned weight, allowing the user to emphasize faster or slower reactions.
The resulting composite K is then smoothed into a D line using a chosen moving average method (SMA, EMA, WMA, or RMA).
The oscillator is plotted along with optional overbought/oversold levels and a color fill to enhance visual interpretation.
A compact on-chart table displays the current K and D readings for quick reference.
Comparison with normal Stochastic
Compared to a standard stochastic, the CSO generally produces smoother lines and fewer false flips. As evident in the comparison chart, this improves upon the normal stochastic by reducing noise and making signals more reliable, although results depend on parameter settings too.
How To Use It
Use the CSO exactly like a normal stochastic: look for crossovers, overbought/oversold zones, and divergences.
In practice, CSO should provides smoother and more consistent signals than the regular stochastic, especially in sideways or volatile markets.
When plotted beside a standard stochastic, you’ll notice CSO avoids many of the false reversals that clutter traditional readings.
Customization Options
Choice of smoothing method (SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA).
Full control over each stochastic component’s parameters and weights.
Adjustable overbought/oversold levels and display preferences.
Option to enable or disable the on-chart table and zone fills.
Note
This indicator is shared purely for educational and research purposes. It is not financial advice and should not be treated as a ready-made trading system.
I encourage you to experiment with different parameter values (periods, weights, smoothing) to explore how the behavior changes and to learn from the results.

Optimal parameter settings vary by asset type, timeframe, and market conditions, requiring user experimentation for best results
💡 What Makes This Unique
Unified Multi-Metric Interface: The only gauge-style indicator offering 13 distinct metrics through a single interface, eliminating the need for multiple oscillator panels
Non-Overlapping Analytics: Each metric provides genuinely unique insights—MFI combines volume with price, CCI measures statistical deviation, Volatility Rank uses extended lookback, Trend Strength quantifies directional movement, and Choppiness Index measures ranging behavior
Universal Normalization System: All metrics standardized to 0-100 scale using indicator-appropriate algorithms that preserve statistical meaning while enabling consistent visual interpretation
Professional Visual Design: Semi-circular gauge with 21 arc segments, precision needle positioning, color-coded zones, and clean table implementation that maintains clarity across all chart configurations
Extensive Customization: Independent parameter controls for each metric, five position options, three size presets, and full color customization for seamless workspace integration
🔬 How It Works
1. Metric Calculation Phase:
All 13 metrics are calculated simultaneously on every bar using their respective algorithms with user-defined parameters
Each metric applies its own specific calculation method—RSI uses average gains vs losses, Stochastic compares close to high-low range, MFI incorporates typical price and volume, CCI measures deviation from statistical mean, ATR calculates true range, directional indicators measure up/down movement, and statistical metrics analyze price relationships
2. Normalization Process:
Each calculated metric is converted to a standardized 0-100 scale using indicator-appropriate transformations
Some metrics are naturally 0-100 (RSI, Stochastic, MFI, Williams %R), while others require scaling—CCI transforms from ±200 range, Momentum centers around 50, Volume ratio caps at 2x for 100, ATR and Volatility Rank calculate percentile positions, and Price Distance scales by standard deviations
3. Gauge Rendering:
The selected metric’s normalized value determines the needle position across 21 arc segments spanning 0-100
Each arc segment receives its color based on position—segments 0-8 are green zone, segments 9-14 are yellow zone, segments 15-20 are red zone
The needle indicator (▼) appears in row 5 at the column corresponding to the current metric value, providing precise visual feedback
4. Table Construction:
The gauge uses TradingView’s table system with merged cells for title and value display, ensuring consistent positioning regardless of chart configuration
Rows are allocated as follows: Row 0 merged for title, Row 1 merged for large value display, Row 2 for spacing, Rows 3-4 for the semi-circular arc with curved shaping, Row 5 for needle indicator, Row 6 for scale markers, Row 7 for numerical labels at 0/25/50/75/100
All visual elements update on every bar when barstate.islast is true, ensuring real-time accuracy without performance impact
💡 Note:
This indicator is designed for visual analysis and market condition assessment, not as a standalone trading system. For best results, combine gauge readings with price action analysis, support and resistance levels, and broader market context. Parameter optimization is recommended based on your specific trading timeframe and asset class. The gauge works on all timeframes but may require different parameter settings for intraday versus daily/weekly analysis. Consider using multiple instances of the gauge set to different metrics for comprehensive market analysis without switching between settings.
Cumulative Volume Delta Z Score [BackQuant]Cumulative Volume Delta Z Score
The Cumulative Volume Delta Z Score indicator is a sophisticated tool that combines the cumulative volume delta (CVD) with Z-Score normalization to provide traders with a clearer view of market dynamics. By analyzing volume imbalances and standardizing them through a Z-Score, this tool helps identify significant price movements and market trends while filtering out noise.
Core Concept of Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) is a popular indicator that tracks the net difference between buying and selling volume over time. CVD helps traders understand whether buying or selling pressure is dominating the market. Positive CVD signals buying pressure, while negative CVD indicates selling pressure.
The addition of Z-Score normalization to CVD makes it easier to evaluate whether current volume imbalances are unusual compared to past behavior. Z-Score helps in detecting extreme conditions by showing how far the current CVD is from its historical mean in terms of standard deviations.
Key Features
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD): Tracks the net buying vs. selling volume, allowing traders to gauge the overall market sentiment.
Z-Score Normalization: Converts CVD into a standardized value to highlight extreme movements in volume that are statistically significant.
Divergence Detection: The indicator can spot bullish and bearish divergences between price and CVD, which can signal potential trend reversals.
Pivot-Based Divergence: Identifies price and CVD pivots, highlighting divergence patterns that are crucial for predicting price changes.
Trend Analysis: Colors bars according to trend direction, providing a visual indication of bullish or bearish conditions based on Z-Score.
How It Works
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD): The CVD is calculated by summing the difference between buying and selling volume for each bar. It represents the net buying or selling pressure, giving insights into market sentiment.
Z-Score Normalization: The Z-Score is applied to the CVD to normalize its values, making it easier to compare current conditions with historical averages. A Z-Score greater than 0 indicates a bullish market, while a Z-Score less than 0 signals a bearish market.
Divergence Detection: The indicator detects regular and hidden bullish and bearish divergences between price and CVD. These divergences often precede trend reversals, offering traders a potential entry point.
Pivot-Based Analysis: The indicator uses pivot highs and lows in both price and CVD to identify divergence patterns. A bullish divergence occurs when price makes a lower low, but CVD fails to follow, suggesting weakening selling pressure. Conversely, a bearish divergence happens when price makes a higher high, but CVD doesn't confirm the move, indicating potential selling pressure.
Trend Coloring: The bars are colored based on the trend direction. Green bars indicate an uptrend (CVD is positive), and red bars indicate a downtrend (CVD is negative). This provides an easy-to-read visualization of market conditions.
Standard Deviation Levels: The indicator plots ±1σ, ±2σ, and ±3σ levels to indicate the degree of deviation from the average CVD. These levels act as thresholds for identifying extreme buying or selling pressure.
Customization Options
Anchor Timeframe: The user can define an anchor timeframe to aggregate the CVD, which can be customized based on the trader’s needs (e.g., daily, weekly, custom lower timeframes).
Z-Score Period: The period for calculating the Z-Score can be adjusted, allowing traders to fine-tune the indicator's sensitivity.
Divergence Detection: The tool offers controls to enable or disable divergence detection, with the ability to adjust the lookback periods for pivot detection.
Trend Coloring and Visuals: Traders can choose whether to color bars based on trend direction, display standard deviation levels, or visualize the data as a histogram or line plot.
Display Options: The indicator also allows for various display options, including showing the Z-Score values and divergence signals, with customizable colors and line widths.
Alerts and Signals
The Cumulative Volume Delta Z Score comes with pre-configured alert conditions for:
Z-Score Crossovers: Alerts are triggered when the Z-Score crosses the 0 line, indicating a potential trend reversal.
Shifting Trend: Alerts for when the Z-Score shifts direction, signaling a change in market sentiment.
Divergence Detection: Alerts for both regular and hidden bullish and bearish divergences, offering potential reversal signals.
Extreme Imbalances: Alerts when the Z-Score reaches extreme positive or negative levels, indicating overbought or oversold market conditions.
Applications in Trading
Trend Identification: Use the Z-Score to confirm bullish or bearish trends based on cumulative volume data, filtering out noise and false signals.
Reversal Signals: Divergences between price and CVD can help identify potential trend reversals, making it a powerful tool for swing traders.
Volume-Based Confirmation: The Z-Score allows traders to confirm price movements with volume data, providing more reliable signals compared to price action alone.
Divergence Strategy: Use the divergence signals to identify potential points of entry, particularly when regular or hidden divergences appear.
Volatility and Market Sentiment: The Z-Score provides insights into market volatility by measuring the deviation of CVD from its historical mean, helping to predict price movement strength.
The Cumulative Volume Delta Z Score is a powerful tool that combines volume analysis with statistical normalization. By focusing on volume imbalances and applying Z-Score normalization, this indicator provides clear, reliable signals for trend identification and potential reversals. It is especially useful for filtering out market noise and ensuring that trades are based on significant price movements driven by substantial volume changes.
This indicator is perfect for traders looking to add volume-based analysis to their strategy, offering a more robust and accurate way to gauge market sentiment and trend strength.

DM Super Trend FlowDM Super Trend Flow — Single Line Explanation
The DM Super Trend Flow is a single-line trend indicator built from a carefully selected group of Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) designed to capture smooth and reliable trend direction.
Instead of plotting multiple EMA lines, the indicator calculates several EMAs internally and then displays only the middle EMA — creating a clean, uncluttered chart while still reflecting the overall trend strength and alignment.
The line color automatically changes based on how all EMAs are aligned:
GREEN - Bullish Alignment → All EMAs are stacked upward, confirming strong upward momentum. (Line turns lime)
RED - Bearish Alignment → All EMAs are stacked downward, confirming strong downward momentum. (Line turns red)
GRAY - EMAs are mixed or flat, indicating sideways or transition phases. (Line turns gray)
This single dynamic line gives you a clear visual of overall market direction — showing when the trend is fully aligned, weakening, or shifting — without the clutter of multiple overlapping averages.

1. WHY THIS INDICATOR IS DIFFERENT
Most traders use multiple separate indicators on their charts, leading to cluttered screens, conflicting signals, and analysis paralysis. The Suite solves this by integrating proven technical tools into a single, cohesive system.
Key Advantages:
All-in-One Design: Instead of loading 5-10 separate indicators, you get everything in one optimized script. This reduces chart clutter and improves TradingView performance.
Multi-Timeframe Bias Table: Unlike standard indicators that only show the current timeframe, the Bias Table aggregates trend signals across multiple timeframes simultaneously. See at a glance whether 1m, 5m, 15m, 1h are aligned bullish or bearish - no more switching between charts.
Smart Confirmations: The indicator doesn't just give signals - it shows you WHY. Every entry has multiple layers of confirmation (MA cross, MACD momentum, ADX strength, RSI pullback, volume, etc.) that you can toggle on/off.
Dynamic Stop Loss System: Instead of static ATR stops, the SL is calculated from multiple support/resistance layers: UT trailing line, Supertrend, VWAP, swing structure, and MA levels. This creates more intelligent, price-action-aware stops.
R-Multiple Take Profits: Built-in TP system calculates targets based on your initial risk (1R, 1.5R, 2R, 3R). Lines freeze when touched with visual checkmarks, giving you a clean audit trail of partial exits.
Educational Tooltips Everywhere: Every single input has detailed tooltips explaining what it does, typical values, and how it impacts trading. You're not guessing - you're learning as you configure.
Performance Optimized: Smart caching, conditional calculations, and modular design mean the indicator runs fast despite having 15+ features. Turn off what you don't use for even better performance.
No Repainting: All signals respect bar close. Alerts fire correctly. What you see in history is what you would have gotten in real-time.
What Makes It Unique:
Integrated UT Bot + Bias Table: No other indicator combines UT Bot's ATR trailing system with a live multi-timeframe dashboard. You get precision entries with macro trend context.
Candlestick Pattern Recognition with Interactive Tooltips: Patterns aren't just marked - hover over any emoji for a full explanation of what the pattern means and how to trade it.
Opening Range Breakout Tracker: Built-in ORB system for intraday traders with customizable session times and real-time status updates in the Bias Table.
Previous Day High/Low Auto-Detection: Automatically plots PDH/PDL on intraday charts with theme-aware colors. Updates daily without manual input.
Dynamic Row Labels in Bias Table: The table shows your actual settings (e.g., "EMA 10 > SMA 20") not generic labels. You know exactly what's being evaluated.
Modular Filter System: Instead of forcing a fixed methodology, the indicator lets you build your own strategy. Start with just UT Bot, add filters one at a time, test what works for your style.
---
2. WHO WHOULD USE THIS
Designed For:
Intermediate to Advanced Traders: You understand basic technical analysis (MAs, RSI, MACD) and want to combine multiple confirmations efficiently. This isn't a "one-click profit" system - it's a professional toolkit.
Multi-Timeframe Traders: If you trade one asset but check multiple timeframes for confirmation (e.g., enter on 5m after checking 15m and 1h alignment), the Bias Table will save you hours every week.
Trend Followers: The indicator excels at identifying and following trends using UT Bot, Supertrend, and MA systems. If you trade breakouts and pullbacks in trending markets, this is built for you.
Intraday and Swing Traders: Works equally well on 5m-1h charts (day trading) and 4h-D charts (swing trading). Scalpers can use it too with appropriate settings adjustments.
Discretionary Traders: This isn't a black-box system. You see all the components, understand the logic, and make final decisions. Perfect for traders who want tools, not automation.
Works Across All Markets:
Stocks (US, international)
Cryptocurrency (24/7 markets supported)
Forex pairs
Indices (SPY, QQQ, etc.)
Commodities
NOT Ideal For :
Complete Beginners: If you don't know what a moving average or RSI is, start with basics first. This indicator assumes foundational knowledge.
Algo Traders Seeking Black Box: This is discretionary. Signals require context and confirmation. Not suitable for blind automated execution.
Mean-Reversion Only Traders: The indicator is trend-following at its core. While VWAP bands support mean-reversion, the primary methodology is trend continuation.
---
3. CORE COMPONENTS OVERVIEW
The indicator combines these proven systems:
Trend Analysis:
Moving Averages: Four customizable MAs (Fast, Medium, Medium-Long, Long) with six types to choose from (EMA, SMA, WMA, VWMA, RMA, HMA). Mix and match for your style.
Supertrend: ATR-based trend indicator with unique gradient fill showing trend strength. One-sided ribbon visualization makes it easier to see momentum building or fading.
ZLSMA : Zero-lag linear-regression smoothed moving average. Reduces lag compared to traditional MAs while maintaining smooth curves.
Momentum & Filters:
MACD: Standard MACD with separation filter to avoid weak crossovers.
RSI: Pullback zone detection - only enter longs when RSI is in your defined "buy zone" and shorts in "sell zone".
ADX/DMI: Trend strength measurement with directional filter. Ensures you only trade when there's actual momentum.
Volume Filter: Relative volume confirmation - require above-average volume for entries.
Donchian Breakout: Optional channel breakout requirement.
Signal Systems:
UT Bot: The primary signal generator. ATR trailing stop that adapts to volatility and gives clear entry/exit points.
Base Signals: MA cross system with all the above filters applied. More conservative than UT Bot alone.
Market Bias Table: Multi-timeframe dashboard showing trend alignment across 7 timeframes plus macro bias (3-day, weekly, monthly, quarterly, VIX).
Candlestick Patterns: Six major reversal patterns auto-detected with interactive tooltips.
ORB Tracker: Opening range high/low with breakout status (intraday only).
PDH/PDL: Previous day levels plotted automatically on intraday charts.
VWAP + Bands : Session-anchored VWAP with up to three standard deviation band pairs.
---
4. THE UT BOT TRADING SYSTEM
The UT Bot is the heart of the indicator's signal generation. It's an advanced ATR trailing stop that adapts to market volatility.
Why UT Bot is Superior to Fixed Stops:
Traditional ATR stops use a fixed multiplier (e.g., "stop = entry - 2×ATR"). UT Bot is smarter:
It TRAILS the stop as price moves in your favor
It WIDENS during high volatility to avoid premature stops
It TIGHTENS during consolidation to lock in profits
It FLIPS when price breaks the trailing line, signaling reversals
Visual Elements You'll See:
Orange Trailing Line: The actual UT stop level that adapts bar-by-bar
Buy/Sell Labels: Aqua triangle (long) or orange triangle (short) when the line flips
ENTRY Line: Horizontal line at your entry price (optional, can be turned off)
Suggested Stop Loss: A composite SL calculated from multiple support/resistance layers:
- UT trailing line
- Supertrend level
- VWAP
- Swing structure (recent lows/highs)
- Long-term MA (200)
- ATR-based floor
Take Profit Lines: TP1, TP1.5, TP2, TP3 based on R-multiples. When price touches a TP, it's marked with a checkmark and the line freezes for audit trail purposes.
Status Messages: "SL Touched ❌" or "SL Frozen" when the trade leg completes.
How UT Bot Differs from Other ATR Systems:
Multiple Filters Available: You can require 2-bar confirmation, minimum % price change, swing structure alignment, or ZLSMA directional filter. Most UT implementations have none of these.
Smart SL Calculation: Instead of just using the UT line as your stop, the indicator suggests a better SL based on actual support/resistance. This prevents getting stopped out by wicks while keeping risk controlled.
Visual Audit Trail: All SL/TP lines freeze when touched with clear markers. You can review your trades weeks later and see exactly where entries, stops, and targets were.
Performance Options: "Draw UT visuals only on bar close" lets you reduce rendering load without affecting logic or alerts - critical for slower machines or 1m charts.
Trading Logic:
UT Bot flips direction (Buy or Sell signal appears)
Check Bias Table for multi-timeframe confirmation
Optional: Wait for Base signal or candlestick pattern
Enter at signal bar close or next bar open
Place stop at "Suggested Stop Loss" line
Scale out at TP levels (TP1, TP2, TP3)
Exit remaining position on opposite UT signal or stop hit

5. UNDERSTANDING THE MARKET BIAS TABLE
This is the indicator's unique multi-timeframe intelligence layer. Instead of looking at one chart at a time, the table aggregates signals across seven timeframes plus macro trend bias.
Why Multi-Timeframe Analysis Matters:
Professional traders check higher and lower timeframes for context:
Is the 1h uptrend aligning with my 5m entry?
Are all short-term timeframes bullish or just one?
Is the daily trend supportive or fighting me?
Doing this manually means opening multiple charts, checking each indicator, and making mental notes. The Bias Table does it automatically in one glance.
Table Structure:
Header Row:
On intraday charts: 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h (toggle which ones you want)
On daily+ charts: D, W, M (automatic)
Green dot next to title = live updating
Headline Rows - Macro Bias:
These show broad market direction over longer periods:
3 Day Bias: Trend over last 3 trading sessions (uses 1h data)
Weekly Bias: Trend over last 5 trading sessions (uses 4h data)
Monthly Bias: Trend over last 30 daily bars
Quarterly Bias: Trend over last 13 weekly bars
VIX Fear Index: Market regime based on VIX level - bullish when low, bearish when high
Opening Range Breakout: Status of price vs. session open range (intraday only)
These rows show text: "BULLISH", "BEARISH", or "NEUTRAL"
Indicator Rows - Technical Signals:
These evaluate your configured indicators across all active timeframes:
Fast MA > Medium MA (shows your actual MA settings, e.g., "EMA 10 > SMA 20")
Price > Long MA (e.g., "Price > SMA 200")
Price > VWAP
MACD > Signal
Supertrend (up/down/neutral)
ZLSMA Rising
RSI In Zone
ADX ≥ Minimum
These rows show emojis: GREEB (bullish), RED (bearish), GRAY/YELLOW (neutral/NA)
AVG Column:
Shows percentage of active timeframes that are bullish for that row. This is the KEY metric:
AVG > 70% = strong multi-timeframe bullish alignment
AVG 40-60% = mixed/choppy, no clear trend
AVG < 30% = strong multi-timeframe bearish alignment
How to Use the Table:
For a long trade:
Check AVG column - want to see > 60% ideally
Check headline bias rows - want to see BULLISH, not BEARISH
Check VIX row - bullish market regime preferred
Check ORB row (intraday) - want ABOVE for longs
Scan indicator rows - more green = better confirmation
For a short trade:
Check AVG column - want to see < 40% ideally
Check headline bias rows - want to see BEARISH, not BULLISH
Check VIX row - bearish market regime preferred
Check ORB row (intraday) - want BELOW for shorts
Scan indicator rows - more red = better confirmation
When AVG is 40-60%:
Market is choppy, mixed signals. Either stay out or reduce position size significantly. These are low-probability environments.
Unique Features:
Dynamic Labels: Row names show your actual settings (e.g., "EMA 10 > SMA 20" not generic "Fast > Slow"). You know exactly what's being evaluated.
Customizable Rows: Turn off rows you don't care about. Only show what matters to your strategy.
Customizable Timeframes: On intraday charts, disable 1m or 4h if you don't trade them. Reduces calculation load by 20-40%.
Automatic HTF Handling: On Daily/Weekly/Monthly charts, the table automatically switches to D/W/M columns. No configuration needed.
Performance Smart: "Hide BIAS table on 1D or above" option completely skips all table calculations on higher timeframes if you only trade intraday.
---
6. CANDLESTICK PATTERN RECOGNITION
The indicator automatically detects six major reversal patterns and marks them with emojis at the relevant bars.
Why These Six Patterns:
These are the most statistically significant reversal patterns according to trading literature:
High win rate when appearing at support/resistance
Clear visual structure (not subjective)
Work across all timeframes and assets
Studied extensively by institutions
The Patterns:
Bullish Patterns (appear at bottoms):
Bullish Engulfing: Green candle completely engulfs prior red candle's body. Strong reversal signal.
Hammer: Small body with long lower wick (at least 2× body size). Shows rejection of lower prices by buyers.
Morning Star: Three-candle pattern (large red → small indecision → large green). Very strong bottom reversal.
Bearish Patterns (appear at tops):
Bearish Engulfing: Red candle completely engulfs prior green candle's body. Strong reversal signal.
Shooting Star: Small body with long upper wick (at least 2× body size). Shows rejection of higher prices by sellers.
Evening Star: Three-candle pattern (large green → small indecision → large red). Very strong top reversal.
Interactive Tooltips:
Unlike most pattern indicators that just draw shapes, this one is educational:
Hover your mouse over any pattern emoji
A tooltip appears explaining: what the pattern is, what it means, when it's most reliable, and how to trade it
No need to memorize - learn as you trade
Noise Filter:
"Min candle body % to filter noise" setting prevents false signals:
Patterns require minimum body size relative to price
Filters out tiny candles that don't represent real buying/selling pressure
Adjust based on asset volatility (higher % for crypto, lower for low-volatility stocks)
How to Trade Patterns:
Patterns are NOT standalone entry signals. Use them as:
Confirmation: UT Bot gives signal + pattern appears = stronger entry
Reversal Warning: In a trade, opposite pattern appears = consider tightening stop or taking profit
Support/Resistance Validation: Pattern at key level (PDH, VWAP, MA 200) = level is being respected
Best combined with:
UT Bot or Base signal in same direction
Bias Table alignment (AVG > 60% or < 40%)
Appearance at obvious support/resistance
---
7. VISUAL TOOLS AND FEATURES
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price):
Session-anchored VWAP with standard deviation bands. Shows institutional "fair value" for the trading session.
Anchor Options: Session, Day, Week, Month, Quarter, Year. Choose based on your trading timeframe.
Bands: Up to three pairs (X1, X2, X3) showing statistical deviation. Price at outer bands often reverses.
Auto-Hide on HTF: VWAP hides on Daily/Weekly/Monthly charts automatically unless you enable anchored mode.
Use VWAP as:
Directional bias (above = bullish, below = bearish)
Mean reversion levels (outer bands)
Support/resistance (the VWAP line itself)
Previous Day High/Low:
Automatically plots yesterday's high and low on intraday charts:
Updates at start of each new trading day
Theme-aware colors (dark text for light charts, light text for dark charts)
Hidden automatically on Daily/Weekly/Monthly charts
These levels are critical for intraday traders - institutions watch them closely as support/resistance.
Opening Range Breakout (ORB):
Tracks the high/low of the first 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes of the trading session:
Customizable session times (preset for NYSE, LSE, TSE, or custom)
Shows current breakout status in Bias Table row (ABOVE, BELOW, INSIDE, BUILDING)
Intraday only - auto-disabled on Daily+ charts
ORB is a classic day trading strategy - breakout above opening range often leads to continuation.
Extra Labels:
Change from Open %: Shows how far price has moved from session open (intraday) or daily open (HTF). Green if positive, red if negative.
ADX Badge: Small label at bottom of last bar showing current ADX value. Green when above your minimum threshold, red when below.
RSI Badge: Small label at top of last bar showing current RSI value with zone status (buy zone, sell zone, or neutral).
These labels provide quick at-a-glance confirmation without needing separate indicator windows.

8. HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
Step 1: Add to Chart
Load the indicator on your chosen asset and timeframe
First time: Everything is enabled by default - the chart will look busy
Don't panic - you'll turn off what you don't need
Step 2: Start Simple
Turn OFF everything except:
UT Bot labels (keep these ON)
Bias Table (keep this ON)
Moving Averages (Fast and Medium only)
Suggested Stop Loss and Take Profits
Hide everything else initially. Get comfortable with the basic UT Bot + Bias Table workflow first.
Step 3: Learn the Core Workflow
UT Bot gives a Buy or Sell signal
Check Bias Table AVG column - do you have multi-timeframe alignment?
If yes, enter the trade
Place stop at Suggested Stop Loss line
Scale out at TP levels
Exit on opposite UT signal
Trade this simple system for a week. Get a feel for signal frequency and win rate with your settings.
Step 4: Add Filters Gradually
If you're getting too many losing signals (whipsaws in choppy markets), add filters one at a time:
Try: "Require 2-Bar Trend Confirmation" - wait for 2 bars to confirm direction
Try: ADX filter with minimum threshold - only trade when trend strength is sufficient
Try: RSI pullback filter - only enter on pullbacks, not chasing
Try: Volume filter - require above-average volume
Add one filter, test for a week, evaluate. Repeat.
Step 5: Enable Advanced Features (Optional)
Once you're profitable with the core system, add:
Supertrend for additional trend confirmation
Candlestick patterns for reversal warnings

What the parameter controls
How it impacts trading
Suggested ranges for scalping, day trading, and swing trading
Start with defaults, then adjust based on your results and style.
Step 7: Set Up Alerts
Right-click chart → Add Alert → Condition: "Luxy Momentum v6" → Choose:
"UT Bot — Buy" for long entries
"UT Bot — Sell" for short entries
"Base Long/Short" for filtered MA cross signals
Optionally enable "Send real-time alert() on UT flip" in settings for immediate notifications.
Common Workflow Variations:
Conservative Trader:
UT signal + Base signal + Candlestick pattern + Bias AVG > 70%
Enter only at major support/resistance
Wider UT sensitivity, multiple filters
Aggressive Trader:
UT signal + Bias AVG > 60%
Enter immediately, no waiting
Tighter UT sensitivity, minimal filters
Swing Trader:
Focus on Daily/Weekly Bias alignment
Ignore intraday noise
Use ORB and PDH/PDL less (or not at all)
Wider stops, patient approach

9. PERFORMANCE AND OPTIMIZATION
The indicator is optimized for speed, but with 15+ features running simultaneously, chart load time can add up. Here's how to keep it fast:
Biggest Performance Gains:
Disable Unused Timeframes: In "Time Frames" settings, turn OFF any timeframe you don't actively trade. Each disabled TF saves 10-15% calculation time. If you only day trade 5m, 15m, 1h, disable 1m, 2h, 4h.
Hide Bias Table on Daily+: If you only trade intraday, enable "Hide BIAS table on 1D or above". This skips ALL table calculations on higher timeframes.
Draw UT Visuals Only on Bar Close: Reduces intrabar rendering of SL/TP/Entry lines. Has ZERO impact on logic or alerts - purely visual optimization.
Additional Optimizations:
Turn off VWAP bands if you don't use them
Disable candlestick patterns if you don't trade them
Turn off Supertrend fill if you find it distracting (keep the line)
Reduce "Limit to 10 bars" for SL/TP lines to minimize line objects
Performance Features Built-In:
Smart Caching: Higher timeframe data (3-day bias, weekly bias, etc.) updates once per day, not every bar
Conditional Calculations: Volume filter only calculates when enabled. Swing filter only runs when enabled. Nothing computes if turned off.
Modular Design: Every component is independent. Turn off what you don't need without breaking other features.
Typical Load Times:
5m chart, all features ON, 7 timeframes: ~2-3 seconds
5m chart, core features only, 3 timeframes: ~1 second
1m chart, all features: ~4-5 seconds (many bars to calculate)
If loading takes longer, you likely have too many indicators on the chart total (not just this one).

10. FAQ
Q: How is this different from standard UT Bot indicators?
A: Standard UT Bot (originally by @QuantNomad) is just the ATR trailing line and flip signals. This implementation adds:
- Volume weighting and momentum adjustment to the trailing calculation
- Multiple confirmation filters (swing, %, 2-bar, ZLSMA)
- Smart composite stop loss system from multiple S/R layers
- R-multiple take profit system with freeze-on-touch
- Integration with multi-timeframe Bias Table
- Visual audit trail with checkmarks
Q: Can I use this for automated trading?
A: The indicator is designed for discretionary trading. While it has clear signals and alerts, it's not a mechanical system. Context and judgment are required.
Q: Does it repaint?
A: No. All signals respect bar close. UT Bot logic runs intrabar but signals only trigger on confirmed bars. Alerts fire correctly with no lookahead.
Q: Do I need to use all the features?
A: Absolutely not. The indicator is modular. Many profitable traders use just UT Bot + Bias Table + Moving Averages. Start simple, add complexity only if needed.
Q: How do I know which settings to use?
A: Every single input has a detailed tooltip. Hover over any setting to see:
What it does
How it affects trading
Typical values for scalping, day trading, swing trading
Start with defaults, adjust gradually based on results.
Q: Can I use this on crypto 24/7 markets?
A: Yes. ORB will not work (no defined session), but everything else functions normally. Use "Day" anchor for VWAP instead of "Session".
Q: The Bias Table is blank or not showing.
A: Check:
"Show Table" is ON
Table position isn't overlapping another indicator's table (change position)
At least one row is enabled
"Hide BIAS table on 1D or above" is OFF (if on Daily+ chart)
Q: Why are candlestick patterns not appearing?
A: Patterns are relatively rare by design - they only appear at genuine reversal points. Check:
Pattern toggles are ON
"Min candle body %" isn't too high (try 0.05-0.10)
You're looking at a chart with actual reversals (not strong trending market)
Q: UT Bot is too sensitive/not sensitive enough.
A: Adjust "Sensitivity (Key×ATR)". Lower number = tighter stop, more signals. Higher number = wider stop, fewer signals. Read the tooltip for guidance.
Q: Can I get alerts for the Bias Table?
A: The Bias Table is a dashboard for visual analysis, not a signal generator. Set alerts on UT Bot or Base signals, then manually check Bias Table for confirmation.
Q: Does this work on stocks with low volume?
A: Yes, but turn OFF the volume filter. Low volume stocks will never meet relative volume requirements.
Q: How often should I check the Bias Table?
A: Before every entry. It takes 2 seconds to glance at the AVG column and headline rows. This one check can save you from fighting the trend.
Q: What if UT signal and Base signal disagree?
A: UT Bot is more aggressive (ATR trailing). Base signals are more conservative (MA cross + filters). If they disagree, either:
Wait for both to align (safest)
Take the UT signal but with smaller size (aggressive)
Skip the trade (conservative)
There's no "right" answer - depends on your risk tolerance.

Happy Trading!
DM Auto PDH/PDL/PMH/PMLThe “DM Auto PDH/PDL/PMH/PML” indicator is a price-level plotting tool designed for intraday traders who want to automatically display key reference levels on their TradingView chart — specifically:
What It Does
It automatically plots and labels:
PDH (Previous Day High) – The highest price of the previous trading day.
PDL (Previous Day Low) – The lowest price of the previous trading day.
PMH (Premarket High) – The highest price during the premarket session (e.g., 4:00–9:30 AM).
PML (Premarket Low) – The lowest price during the premarket session.
These levels are critical for many day traders to identify:
Potential support/resistance zones.
Breakout or reversal areas.
Liquidity zones where price tends to react.
Key Features
Automatic Detection:
The script calculates these levels automatically from live or historical data.
Custom Session Settings:
You can define your premarket hours (default: 04:00–09:30 exchange time).
Visual Customization:
Choose whether to show lines only on the latest bar or across the whole chart.
Choose line colors for PDH, PDL, PMH, and PML.
Optionally display labels (e.g., “PDH”, “PML”) at the right edge of the chart.
No Signals or Strategy Logic:
This version does not buy/sell or alert — it’s purely a visual reference indicator for price levels.
Typical Uses
Day traders and scalpers use this to:
Plan trades around prior-day highs/lows (major intraday levels).
Identify premarket extremes, which often act as first support/resistance after the open.
Combine with other indicators (VWAP, moving averages, volume profiles) for confirmation.
Summary
Level Meaning Common Usage
PDH Previous Day High Resistance / Breakout Target
PDL Previous Day Low Support / Breakdown Target
PMH Premarket High Intraday Resistance Zone
PML Premarket Low Intraday Support Zone
DM Scalper FlowHow to enter trades manually
You can use this workflow:
For LONG entries
Wait for the “LONG ▲” bias to appear on the table.
Confirm the candle is bullish (close > open) and above VWAP.
Enter at or near the close of that bar or on a small pullback.
Set stop loss at Bull SL, target at Bull TP from the table.
For SHORT (PUT) entries
Wait for the “PUT ▼” bias.
Confirm the candle is bearish (close < open) and below VWAP.
Enter near the close or next small retracement.
Use Bear SL and Bear TP from the table.
How to interpret the table
Row Meaning Usage
Bull SL / TP ATR-based Stop-Loss and Take-Profit levels for a long Use as your entry plan if you take a long
Bear SL / TP ATR-based levels for a short Use for short entries
Bias “LONG” or “PUT” signal + arrow Follow only when it’s active
DM Super AlgoHere’s what each row in the Summary Table means and how you’d use it:
Mode
Shows your selected trade style (Scalp / Day trade / Swing) plus the ATR settings tied to it.
Use it to remember what volatility context you set the algo to (it also informs some visuals/OB stats under the hood).
ADX
Current trend strength from the Wilder ADX. It also labels the regime: WEAK / MODERATE / STRONG / VERY STRONG.
When ADX is below your “ADX min” input, the algo treats trend as weak; unified signals only fire when trend is strong.
Vol >MA*x
Whether current volume is UNUSUAL (above SMA(volume, flowVolLen) × flowVolMult) or NORMAL.
UNUSUAL volume = better odds a move can follow through; it also contributes a “vote.”
RSI(len)
Shows RSI value or zone: Overbought / OB Zone / Oversold / OS Zone / number.
Above 50 adds a bull vote; below 50 adds a bear vote. OB/OS text just gives quick context.
ATR(len)
Shows the ATR and (optionally) the ATR % of price (e.g., “1.23 (0.65%)”).
Higher ATR = more noise/range; useful for setting stops/targets sized to current volatility.
DM Total BUY
Rolling total of estimated buy volume over your lookback window (formatted in K/M/B).
Bigger than SELL suggests net buying pressure recently.
DM Total SELL
Rolling total of estimated sell volume over the same window.
Bigger than BUY suggests net selling pressure recently.
DM Buy Dom%
The share of buy volume in total (BUY / (BUY+SELL)), as a percentage.
>50% favors bulls; <50% favors bears. It also feeds a vote.
Votes (B/Bear)
The bull vs bear tally from 5 components:
Price vs EMA(Trend)
RSI vs 50
DM dominance (>50%)
CVD slope (last 5 bars)
Volume condition
When trend is strong (ADX filter passes) and one side has ≥3 votes AND more than the other, the script plots its triangle marker.
How to use the table (quick workflow)
Check ADX: If not “STRONG/VERY STRONG,” be cautious—signals won’t print unless trend passes your ADX threshold.
Scan Votes: A clear majority (e.g., 4/1) is stronger than 3/2.
Confirm with Volume: “UNUSUAL” volume increases conviction.
Gauge Volatility: Use ATR (and ATR%) to size stops/targets.
Read DM & Dominance: BUY vs SELL totals and DM Buy Dom% tell you whether the recent flow supports the direction.
Next-Day Open Bias (NDO) — Clean HUD (Compat)What It’s Designed To Do
Goal:
Predict whether the next day’s market open will gap up (bullish) or down (bearish) — useful for swing entries into next-day expiry trades, e.g. SPX 0DTE or next-day options.
It’s a probability-driven model, not a buy/sell signal generator.
It gives you a probability bias for the next day’s opening direction.
The text color instantly tells you:
🟩 Green = Bull signal (expect next-day gap up)
🟥 Red = Bear signal (expect next-day gap down)
⚪ White = Neutral / no edge
Continuation Suite v1 — 5m/15mContinuation Suite v1 — 5m/15m (Non-Repainting, S/R + Trend Continuation)
What it does
Continuation Suite v1 is a practical intraday toolkit that combines non-repainting trend-continuation signals with auto-built Support/Resistance (S/R) from confirmed pivots. It’s designed for fast, liquid names on 5m charts with an optional 15m higher-timeframe (HTF) overlay. You get: stacked-EMA bias, disciplined pullback+reclaim entries, optional volume/volatility gates, a “Strong” signal tier, solid S/R lines or zones, and a compact dashboard for fast reads.
⸻
Why traders use it
• Clear bias using fast/mid/slow EMA stacking.
• Actionable entries that require a pullback, a reclaim, and (optionally) a minor break of prior extremes.
• Signal quality gates (volume vs SMA, ATR%, ADX/DI alignment, EMA spacing, slope).
• Non-repainting logic when “Confirm on Close” = ON. Intrabar previews show what’s forming, but confirmed signals only print on bar close.
• S/R that matters: confirmed-pivot lines or ATR-sized zones, optional HTF overlay, and auto de-dup to avoid clutter.
⸻
Signal construction (no magic, just rules)
Bullish continuation (base):
1. Trend: EMA fast > EMA mid > EMA slow
2. Pullback: price pulls into the stack (lowest low or close vs EMA fast/mid over a lookback)
3. Reclaim: close > EMA fast and close > open
4. Break filter (optional): current bar takes out the prior bar’s high
5. Filters: volume > SMA (if enabled) and ATR% ≤ max (if enabled)
6. Cooldown: a minimum bar gap between signals
Bearish continuation (base): mirror of the above.
Strong signals: base conditions plus ADX ≥ threshold, DI alignment (DI+>DI- for longs; DI->DI+ for shorts), minimum EMA-spacing %, and minimum fast-EMA slope.
Reference stops:
• Longs: lowest low over the pullback lookback
• Shorts: highest high over the pullback lookback
Alerts are included for: Bullish Continuation, Bearish Continuation, STRONG Bullish, STRONG Bearish.
⸻
S/R engine (current TF + optional HTF)
• Builds S/R from confirmed pivots only (left/right bars).
• Choose Lines (midlines) or Zones (ATR-sized).
• Zones merge when a new pivot lands near an existing zone’s mid (ATR-scaled epsilon).
• Touches counter tracks significance; you can require a minimum to draw.
• HTF overlay (default 15m) draws separate lines/zones with tiny TF tags on the right.
• De-dup option hides current-TF zones that sit too close to HTF zones (ATR-scaled), reducing overlap.
• Freeze on Close (optional) keeps arrays stable intrabar; snapshots show levels immediately as bars open.
⸻
Presets
• Auto: Detects QQQ-like tickers (QQQ, QLD, QID) or SoFi; else defaults to Custom.
• QQQ: Tighter ATR% and EMA settings geared to index-ETF behavior.
• SoFi: Wider ATR allowances and longer mid/slow for single-name behavior.
• Custom: Expose all key inputs to tune for your product.
⸻
Dashboard (top-right)
• Preset in use
• Bias (Bullish CONT / Bearish CONT / Neutral)
• Strong (Yes/No)
• Volatility (ATR% bucket)
• Trend (ADX bucket)
• HTF timeframe tag
• Volume (bucket or “off”)
• Signals mode (Close-Confirmed vs Intrabar)
⸻
Inputs you’ll actually adjust
Trend/Signals
• Fast/Mid/Slow EMA lengths
• Pullback lookback, Min bars between signals
• Volume filter (vol > SMA N)
• ATR% max filter (cap excessive volatility)
• Require break of prior bar’s high/low
• “Strong” gates: min EMA slope, min EMA spacing %, ADX length & threshold
Support/Resistance
• Lines vs Zones
• Pivot left/right bars
• Extend left/right (bars)
• Max pivots kept (current & HTF)
• Zone width (× ATR), Merge epsilon (× ATR), Min gap (× ATR)
• Min touches, Max zones per side near price
• De-dup current TF vs HTF (× ATR)
Repainting control
• Confirm on Close: when ON, signals/SR finalize on bar close (non-repainting)
• Freeze on Close: freeze S/R intrabar with snapshot updates
• Show previews: translucent intrabar labels for what’s forming
⸻
How to use it (straightforward)
1. Load on 5-minute chart (baseline). Keep Confirm on Close ON if you hate repainting.
2. Use Bias + Strong + S/R context. If a long prints into HTF resistance, you have information.
3. Manage risk off the reference stop (pullback extreme). If ATR% reads “Great,” widen expectations; if “Poor,” size down or pass.
4. Alerts: wire the four alert types to your workflow.
⸻
Notes and constraints
• Designed for liquid symbols. Thin books and synthetic “volume” will degrade the volume gate.
• S/R is pivot-based. On very choppy tape, touch counts help. Increase min touches or switch to Lines to declutter.
• If your chart timeframe isn’t 5m, behavior changes because lengths are in bars, not minutes. Tune lengths accordingly.
⸻
Disclaimers
This is a research tool. No signals are guaranteed. Markets change, outliers happen, slippage is real. Nothing here is financial advice—use your own judgment and risk management.

It helps identify whether buyers or sellers are dominant, and optionally, it can align that with trend direction (via EMAs).
It’s designed for volume flow insight, trend confirmation, and momentum shifts.
DM OscillatorWhat the DM Oscillator Does
This indicator is designed to measure overall market trend strength and direction by combining multiple dimensions of momentum, volatility, and trend structure. It combines multiple signals
Each of the following contributes a small “vote” toward bullish or bearish bias:
Tight Entry Trend Engine Strategy═══════════════════════════════════════
TIGHT ENTRY TREND ENGINE
═══════════════════════════════════════
A breakout-based trend-following system designed to capture explosive
moves by entering at precise resistance/support breakouts with minimal
entry risk and massive profit potential.
⚠️ LOW WIN RATE, HIGH REWARD SYSTEM ⚠️
This is NOT a high win-rate strategy. Expect 25-35% winners, but
when it hits, winners are typically 10X+ larger than losers.
═══════════════════════════════════════
🎯 WHAT THIS SYSTEM DOES
═══════════════════════════════════════
The Tight Entry Trend Engine identifies powerful breakout opportunities
by detecting when price breaks through established trendlines with
confirmation from higher timeframe trends:
1. DYNAMIC TRENDLINE DETECTION (3 BANKS)
• Automatically draws support and resistance trendlines
• 3 separate "banks" capture short-term, medium-term, and long-term levels
• Each bank has configurable parameters (required pivot touch count,
angle limits, lengths)
2. BREAKOUT ENTRY TIMING
• Enters LONG when price breaks ABOVE resistance trendlines
• Enters SHORT when price breaks BELOW support trendlines
• Entry Alert occurs at the exact moment of breakout = "tight entry"
• Stop-loss placed just below/above the broken trendline (configurable)
3. HIGHER TIMEFRAME TREND FILTER
• Uses Hull Moving Average (HMA) on higher timeframe for trend following
• Auto-adjusts HTF based on your chart timeframe
• Optional filters prevent entries against major trend
• Optional "overextension" filter avoids buying parabolic moves
4. VOLATILITY-ADAPTIVE RISK MANAGEMENT
• Stop-loss calculated using Average True Range (ATR)
• Tighter stops = better R:R
• Profit targets adjust dynamically with volatility
• Breakeven stop moves automatically when in profit
• Extended profit targets when far from HTF trend
═══════════════════════════════════════
📊 HOW IT WORKS (METHODOLOGY)
═══════════════════════════════════════
STEP 1: TRENDLINE FORMATION
The system continuously scans for pivot highs and pivot lows to
construct trendlines. You control:
BANK 1 (Short-Term):
- Pivot Length: How many bars to look back for swing points
- Min Touches: How many pivots needed to form a line (default: 3)
- Max Length: How far back lines can reach (default: 180 bars)
- Angle Limits: Maximum steepness allowed for valid trendlines
- Tolerance: How close pivots must align to form horizontal lines
BANK 2 (Medium-Term):
- Slightly longer pivot periods for more significant levels
- Captures medium-term trend structure
- Default Max Length: 200 bars
BANK 3 (Long-Term):
- Focuses on major support/resistance zones
- Often uses horizontal levels (angled lines disabled by default)
- Default Max Length: 300 bars
The system draws RESISTANCE lines (red) above price and SUPPORT
lines (green) below price. These adapt in real-time as new pivots form.
STEP 2: BREAKOUT DETECTION
LONG SIGNALS:
- Price closes above a resistance trendline
- Higher timeframe trend is up (optional filter)
- Price not overextended from HTF trend (optional filter)
- No position currently open
SHORT SIGNALS:
- Price closes below a support trendline
- Higher timeframe trend is down (optional filter)
- Price not overextended from HTF trend (optional filter)
- No position currently open
The "tight" aspect: Because you're entering right at the trendline
break, your stop-loss can be placed very close (just below the
broken resistance for longs), creating exceptional risk/reward ratios.
STEP 3: POSITION SIZING
Choose between:
- Fixed $ Risk Per Trade: Risk same dollar amount every trade
- % Risk Per Trade: Risk percentage of current equity
Position size automatically calculated based on:
- Your risk amount
- Distance to stop-loss (ATR-based)
- Works with stocks, futures, crypto (auto-adjusts for contract multipliers)
STEP 4: EXIT MANAGEMENT
Multiple exit methods working together:
- PROFIT TARGET: Exits when profit reaches 100x your risk
- EXTENDED PROFIT: Earlier exit (80R) when very far from HTF trend
- STOP LOSS: Fixed ATR-based stop below entry
- HTF TREND EXIT: Exits when price crosses below HTF trend with profit
- BREAKEVEN PULLBACK: Exits if profit drops below 0.6R after reaching breakeven
- PARTIAL PROFITS: Optional - take partial profits at specified R-multiple
═══════════════════════════════════════
🔧 KEY COMPONENTS EXPLAINED
═══════════════════════════════════════
HULL MOVING AVERAGE (HMA)
A smoothed moving average that reduces lag compared to traditional
MAs. The system uses HMA on a higher timeframe to determine the
dominant trend direction. You can choose:
- Auto HTF: System picks appropriate HTF based on your chart timeframe
- Manual HTF: You specify the higher timeframe
AVERAGE TRUE RANGE (ATR)
Measures current market volatility. Used for:
- Stop-loss distance (tighter when volatility low)
- Profit targets (larger when volatility high)
- Position sizing (smaller positions in volatile conditions)
- Breakeven trigger distance
TRENDLINE ANGLE FILTERING
Each trendline bank has angle limits to ensure quality:
- Resistance lines: Max downward/upward slope allowed
- Support lines: Max downward/upward slope allowed
- Angles automatically adjust based on current volatility
- Prevents overly steep/unreliable trendlines
SENSITIVITY CONTROL
One master slider adjusts multiple parameters:
- Trendline detection sensitivity
- HTF MA length
- Exit timing
- Auto-adjusts for daily+ timeframes (60% increase)

📊 BACKTEST RESULTS (QQQ 1H (Reg hours), 1999-2024)
═══════════════════════════════════════
The system showed on NASDAQ:QQQ 1-hour timeframe (regular hours):
- Total Return: 1,100,000%+ over 24 years
- Total Trades: 500+
- Win Rate: ~20-24% (LOW - this is by design!)
- Average Winner: 8-15% gain

🚀 GETTING STARTED - STEP BY STEP
═══════════════════════════════════════
STEP 1: APPLY TO YOUR CHART
- Search "Tight Entry Trend Engine" in indicators
- Click to apply to your chart
- Trendlines and HTF line will appear immediately
STEP 2: CHOOSE YOUR SETTINGS
For BEGINNERS - Use These Settings First:
1. Trade Direction & Filters:
• ENABLE LONGS: ✓ ON
• ENABLE SHORTS: ✗ OFF (start with longs only)
• Sensitivity: 1.0 (default)
• HTF Trend Entry Filter: ✓ ON (safer entries)
• Block Entries When Overextended: ✓ ON (avoid parabolic tops)
2. Position Sizing & Risk:
• Position Sizing: "Per Risk"
• RISK Type: "$ Per Trade"
• Risk Amount: $200 (or 1-3% of your account)
3. Visual Settings:
• Show Support Lines: ✗ OFF (unless trading shorts)
• Show Detailed Entry/Exit Labels: ✓ ON
• Show Stats Table: ✓ ON
• Show Entry Line & P/L Fill: ✓ ON
4. Leave everything else at DEFAULT for now
STEP 3: UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU SEE
When trendlines appear:
- RED lines above = Resistance (watch for price breaking UP through these)
- GREEN lines below = Support (watch for price breaking DOWN)
- When price breaks a red line = Potential LONG entry
- When price breaks a green line = Potential SHORT entry
The HTF trend line (thick colored):
- Green/lime = Strong uptrend (favorable for longs)
- Red = Strong downtrend (favorable for shorts if enabled)
- Orange/yellow = Transitioning
STEP 4: OBSERVE SIGNALS
- Small GREEN dot below bar = System entered LONG
- Small RED dot above bar = System exited LONG
- Check the label to see which "Bank" triggered (Bank 1, 2, or 3)
- Watch the yellow entry line and colored fill show your P/L
STEP 5: PAPER TRADE FIRST
- Use TradingView's paper trading feature
- Watch how signals perform on YOUR chosen asset
- Understand the win rate will be LOW (20-35%)
- Verify that winners are indeed much larger than losers
- Test for at least 20-30 signals before going live
STEP 6: OPTIMIZE FOR YOUR ASSET (OPTIONAL)
If default settings aren't working well:
For FASTER signals (more trades):
- Reduce Pivot Length 1 to 3-4
- Reduce Max Length 1 to 120-150
- Increase Sensitivity to 1.2-1.5
For SLOWER signals (higher quality):
- Increase Pivot Length 1 to 7-10
- Increase Max Length 1 to 250+
- Decrease Sensitivity to 0.7-0.9
For DAILY timeframes:
- Increase all Pivot Lengths by 30-50%
- Increase all Max Lengths significantly
- Sensitivity: 0.6-0.8

TRENDLINE BANK SETTINGS:
Each bank (1, 2, 3) has these parameters:
- Min Touches: Minimum pivots to form a line
- Lower (2) = More lines, earlier detection
- Higher (4+) = Fewer lines, higher quality
- Pivot Length: Lookback for swing points
- Lower (3-5) = Reacts to recent price action
- Higher (10+) = Only major swing points
- Max Length: How old a trendline can be
- Shorter (100-150) = Only recent lines
- Longer (300+) = Include historical levels
- Tolerance: Alignment strictness for horizontal lines
- Lower (3.0-3.5) = Very strict horizontal
- Higher (4.5+) = More forgiving alignment
- Allow Angled Lines: Enable diagonal trendlines
- ON = Catches sloped support/resistance
- OFF = Only horizontal levels
- Angle Limits: Maximum steepness allowed
- Lower (1-2) = Only gentle slopes
- Higher (4-6) = Accept steeper angles
- Automatically adjusts for volatility
ATR MULTIPLIERS:
- STOP LOSS ATR (0.6): Distance to stop-loss
- Lower (0.4-0.5) = Tighter stops, stopped out more
- Higher (0.8-1.0) = Wider stops, more room
- PROFIT TARGET ATR (100): Main profit target
- This is 100x your risk = 10,000% R:R
- Lower (50-80) = Take profits sooner
- Higher (120+) = Let winners run longer
- BREAKEVEN ATR (40): When to move stop to breakeven
- Lower (20-30) = Protect profits earlier
- Higher (60+) = Give more room before protecting
HIGHER TIMEFRAME:
- Auto HTF: Automatically selects appropriate HTF
- 5min chart → uses 2H
- 15-30min → uses 6H
- 1-4H → uses 2D
- Daily → uses 4D
- HTF MA Length (300): HMA period for trend
- Lower (150-250) = More responsive
- Higher (400-500) = Smoother, less whipsaw
- HTF Trend Following Exit: Exits when crossing HTF
- ON = Additional exit method
- OFF = Rely only on profit targets/stops
- HTF Trend Entry Filter: Only trade with HTF trend
- ON = Safer, fewer signals
- OFF = More aggressive, more signals
- Block Entries When Overextended: Prevents chasing
- ON = Avoids parabolic tops/bottoms
- OFF = Enter all breakouts regardless

💡 TRADING PHILOSOPHY & EXPECTATIONS
═══════════════════════════════════════
This system is built on one core principle:
"ACCEPT SMALL, FREQUENT LOSSES TO CAPTURE RARE, MASSIVE WINS"
What this means:
- You WILL lose 65%-75% of your trades
- Most losses will be small (1-2R)
- Some winners hit 80R+
- Over time, math works in your favour
