BK AK-Ghost Ladder⚔️ BK AK-Ghost Ladder — Smart Money Gaps. True Support/Resistance. ⚔️
There are already some excellent FVG tools out there—built by traders who’ve put in real work studying imbalance, liquidity, and smart money behavior.
BK AK-Ghost Ladder is simply my version of that idea: my attempt to take what I learned from those great frameworks and push it further into volume, structure, lifecycle, and accountability—so every zone is treated as a living, graded object, not just a static box on a chart.
Why “Ghost Ladder”? Because the real market is full of invisible rungs—thin pockets of liquidity, imbalance steps, and defended boundaries that price climbs and falls through like a ladder you can’t see until it matters. This tool is built to reveal those rungs before you get punished by them.
“AK” in the name is not branding—it’s honor. It belongs to my mentor A.K., whose standard of discipline and clarity sits behind every decision in this tool. Above that, all glory and gratitude to Gd—the real source of any wisdom, edge, or endurance we have in this game.
🧠 What BK AK-Ghost Ladder Actually Does
This is a full institutional FVG/SR system, not a paintbrush. It:
Detects and manages bullish & bearish FVG zones using ATR/percent filters and aging logic
Assigns a 0–100 institutional strength score and 1–5★ rating to every zone
Builds a per-zone lower-timeframe volume profile with POC, volume delta, and optional volume text
Tracks historical touches, breaks, role reversals, merging, clustering, and divergence at the zone
Runs per-zone backtest stats and feeds that into an adaptive/ML-style confidence weight
Compresses the whole environment into a real-time Info Table: bias, market position, nearest S/R, risk, session
Fires alerts only when something actually matters: strong FVGs, magnetic pull, divergence at a level
If price is the map, this is the layer that tells you which levels are real and which are noise.
🧱 Core Engine — Institutional Zone Logic
Smart FVG Detection
Clean 3-bar gap logic for bullish & bearish FVGs
ATR or % based minimum gap size + optional distance filter from price
Zone aging with max life in bars and optional “reset on touch”
Overlap & proximity control:
Prevent overlapping zones
Enforce minimum bar spacing
Or keep only the strongest zone in a cluster
Institutional Strength & Rating
Each zone gets a score (0–100) + star rating (1–5★) based on:
Volume vs average (with optional lower timeframe split)
Gap size vs ATR
Pivot confluence
Historical meaningful touches
Role reversal (support ↔ resistance)
MTF FVG alignment
Session weighting (Asian / London / NY / overlaps)
Order block overlap & imbalance behavior
VWAP proximity/extremes
Fib level alignment
Delta divergence
Zone clustering & consolidation
Adaptive “performance weight” from historical reactions
Bad zones don’t just look weaker—they literally get filtered out when you enable minimum star / institutional filters.
📊 In-Zone Volume & Profile Intelligence
Each zone can be backed by lower-timeframe volume:
Per-zone volume histogram inside the gap
POC line at the most traded price in that zone
Optional total volume label
POC line color shifts with volume delta (buy vs sell pressure)
Additional bull/bear volume bars alongside the zone and/or numeric volume text inside the box
You’re not just staring at a gap—you’re seeing the liquidity pocket inside the gap.
🎯 Structure, Confluence & Role Reversal
The engine includes deep structural context:
Pivots: stored swing highs/lows for S/R confluence
MTF FVG Confluence: two extra timeframes for higher-timeframe alignment
Fibonacci Levels: auto-mapped 0.236 / 0.382 / 0.5 / 0.618 / 0.786 with optional lines & labels
Order Blocks & Imbalance: engulfing OB detection + volume/imbalance filters
VWAP Intelligence: VWAP proximity/extreme bonuses, optional short-form plotting
Delta Divergence: volume-based confirmation flags for zones under real internal pressure
Smart S/R Positioning & Role Flip
Hide “wrong side” zones or auto-flip roles when broken & retested
Track broken zones for N bars, then retire them
Mark role reversals with badges and strength bonuses
Support/resistance is treated like behavior, not just lines.
🤖 Adaptive Learning & Backtesting
Each zone is monitored when price touches it:
Checks if price respects the zone and moves X points away (success)
Or violates beyond failure threshold (failure)
Tracks successes, failures, and win rate per zone
Feeds a confidence score into an adaptive weight so consistently performing zones matter more
Zones that meet the bar get ML/🤖 marking when enabled
The script doesn’t just say “this looks strong”—it tracks how it actually behaved.
📋 Info Table & Sessions — On-Chart War Room
On the latest bar, an Info Table summarizes:
Zone count (bull vs bear)
Market position (NEAR SUPPORT / NEAR RESISTANCE / ABOVE RESISTANCE / BELOW SUPPORT / NEUTRAL)
Nearest S/R levels
Trade bias (BULLISH / BEARISH / NEUTRAL)
Active session (ASIAN / LONDON / NY / OVERLAP / OFF)
Risk level (LOW / MED / HIGH)
Sessions are coded in EST with multipliers so you can weight London/NY more heavily than Asia if that matches your playbook.
Hover the table for a strategy tooltip: live market posture, suggested behavior near the zones, and context around the current environment.
⚠ Divergence & Alerts
Real-time RSI/OBV/ADX divergence detection at the zone
Flexible visual modes: border, icon, color change, or combinations
Alerts included:
Magnetic Zone Pull (price entering ATR-based “field” of a strong zone)
Strong Bullish FVG
Strong Bearish FVG
Divergence at Zone
Let the chart call you when a real decision point appears, instead of forcing you to stare all day.
🕹 How to Use BK AK-Ghost Ladder
1️⃣ Build Bias With Structure
Use the Info Table, star ratings, and where the 4–5★ zones cluster relative to price to decide which side of the tape you’re allowed to trade on.
2️⃣ Only Trade From Strong, Aligned Zones
Focus on 4–5★ zones with confluence (pivots, Fib, OB, VWAP, clustering).
Use the zone body/wick region as your execution area, not some random mid-air candle.
3️⃣ Treat Role Reversal & Clusters as Campaign Nodes
When a strong zone breaks, flips role, and collects touches, that’s campaign territory—not scalp noise.
4️⃣ Use Divergence/Delta as a Brake, Not a Toy
If divergence lights up at your level, respect it: size down, wait for confirmation, or stand down.
5️⃣ Let the Engine Filter Junk For You
Tune volMultiplier, star thresholds, session multipliers, distance filters, and min star rating to match your timeframe and instrument.
This script’s job is to remove your excuse for taking low-quality trades.
📜 Boundaries & Wisdom
King Solomon wrote:
“Do not remove the ancient boundary stone that your fathers have set.”
This tool is built around that idea. It maps where the real boundaries live—where smart money defends, attacks, traps, and reverses.
It will not give you discipline. It will simply remove the illusion that “you didn’t know the level was there.”

Session Volume Profile - Asia London NYSession Volume Profile – Asia, London, NY
Description
OVERVIEW
Session Volume Profile is a technical analysis indicator designed to visualize how volume is distributed during the three primary global trading sessions: Asia, London, and New York. The script separates intraday volume data into time-defined sessions to help traders observe where trading activity concentrated and how value areas evolve as liquidity transitions between regions.
This indicator is intended for market structure and contextual analysis, not signal generation.
TECHNICAL OUTPUT
For each enabled session, the indicator calculates and displays:
Point of Control (POC)
The price level with the highest traded volume during the session.
Value Area High / Low (VAH / VAL)
The price range containing a user-defined percentage of total session volume (commonly 70%).
Session Volume Histogram
A horizontal volume-at-price visualization showing relative participation across price levels, highlighting high- and low-volume areas.
CALCULATION FRAMEWORK
Session Segmentation
Sessions are identified using exchange-based time boundaries. Each session is processed independently to prevent overlap and ensure clean separation of volume data.
Volume Binning
Intraday volume is allocated into discrete price buckets using an array-based structure. The resolution of these buckets is controlled by the Histogram Density input.
Value Area Expansion
The script identifies the session’s POC and expands outward in both directions until the selected percentage of total volume is reached, defining the Value Area High and Low.
HOW TO USE
Session Context
Observe how price reacts to prior-session POC and value areas when a new session begins.
Customization Controls
Individual sessions can be enabled or disabled, and visual opacity can be adjusted to maintain clarity on lower timeframes.
Session Awareness
An optional countdown timer displays remaining session time to help traders stay aware of upcoming liquidity transitions.
DESIGN NOTES
This indicator visualizes historical volume distribution only. It does not identify specific participants or predict future price behavior. All calculations are derived exclusively from price and volume data available on the chart.
DISCLAIMER
This script is provided for educational and analytical purposes only. It does not generate trade signals, alerts, or financial advice. Historical volume distributions do not guarantee future market behavior.
3MA Alignment Ribbon [AlgoTraderPro]3MA Alignment Ribbon is a clean, visual trend-structure indicator based on the alignment of three moving averages.
Instead of focusing on crossovers, it highlights trend quality and direction by dynamically coloring the moving averages and the ribbon between them.
The goal is simple : See at a glance whether the market structure is bullish, bearish, or neutral.
⸻
How It Works
The indicator plots three moving averages (Fast, Medium, Slow) and evaluates their alignment:
Bullish → Fast > Medium > Slow
Bearish → Fast < Medium < Slow
Neutral → Any other configuration
The moving averages and the filled ribbon between them are automatically colored based on this alignment, making trend conditions immediately visible.
⸻
Key Features
✅Multi-MA Support
Choose between:
EMA (default)
SMA
WMA
VWMA
RMA
HMA
✅ Alignment Modes
Strict: classic Fast > Medium > Slow logic
Tolerant: requires a minimum percentage separation between averages to reduce noise in ranging markets
✅ Optional Slope Filter
Filter signals by requiring the slow MA to be rising or falling, helping avoid false trend states during flat conditions.
✅ Higher Timeframe (HTF) Ribbon
Overlay the same 3MA alignment logic from a higher timeframe on your current chart:
Fully optional
Correctly calculated on the HTF itself
Option to use confirmed HTF bars only (reduces repaint confusion)
✅ Alerts & Visual Signals
Alerts when alignment turns Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral
Optional on-chart markers when the alignment flips
✅ Custom Styling
Fully customizable colors and transparency
Designed to remain readable without cluttering the chart
⸻
How to Use It
This indicator works best as:
A trend filter for discretionary trading
A context tool for entries using other setups
A market structure overlay for scalping, swing trading, or position trading
It does not generate buy/sell signals by itself — instead, it helps you trade aligned with market structure.
⸻
Default Settings
The default lengths (50 / 100 / 200 EMA) are suitable for most markets and timeframes, including crypto, forex, indices, and equities.
sullaojo 3mHere is the English translation for the alert setup instructions:
**How to Set Up Alerts (After Adding the Code)**
1. Click the **Add to chart** button to apply the indicator to your graph.
2. Click the **Alarm Clock icon (Alerts)** on the top right toolbar of TradingView, or press `Alt + A`.
3. In the **Condition** field:

* Select **"แจ้งเตือนซื้อ (Buy Alert)"** to receive only buy signals.
4. In the **Trigger** (or Options) section: Select **Once per bar close**.
*(This is recommended per the textbook to confirm that the closing price actually crossed the line, avoiding false signals during intraday volatility.)*
5. Check **Notify on App** (for mobile) or **Show pop-up** as desired, then click **Create**.
Now, when the moving averages cross according to the textbook's conditions, the system will send you an alert immediately!
Market Efficiency DashboardDescription
This indicator is an analytical tool designed to visualize the relationship between price action and market efficiency. Based on the Choppiness Index (CI), this indicator identifies whether the market is in a state of Range Contraction (Consolidation) or Range Expansion (Trending) . This implementation introduces a unique 50-pivot baseline to better differentiate between these two market characters, providing traders with an objective view of volatility cycles.
Key Features
Volatility Cycle Logic: A refined implementation of the Choppiness Index that assists in filtering market noise during low-volatility periods.
Pivot-50 Visualization: A custom geometric layout that separates range contraction from trend expansion for faster visual interpretation.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Data Handling: Enables the monitoring of higher-timeframe efficiency cycles without switching charts.
Trend Context Filter: Integrates a 200-period EMA to provide a directional baseline relative to the current market state.
Real-Time Status Dashboard: A real-time data table providing a summary of current market efficiency and trend bias.
Signal Refinement: Includes optional smoothing (EMA/SMA/WMA) to reduce calculation "jitter" and provide clearer structural signals.
Inputs Overview
Choppiness Length: Sets the lookback period for the efficiency calculation (Default: 14).
Calculation Timeframe: Allows the user to select the source timeframe for the index data.
Smoothing Method: Users can choose between multiple moving average types to filter the raw index output.
Threshold Levels: Customizable Fibonacci-based levels (61.8 and 38.2) used to define the boundaries of "Choppy" and "Trending" environments.
EMA Filter: Toggle for the 200-period Exponential Moving Average used for directional bias.
How to Use
Context Identification: Observe the histogram’s position relative to the 50-pivot. Bars expanding upward toward the 61.8 level indicate the market is coiling/congested.
Trend Confirmation: Bars expanding downward toward the 38.2 level indicate the market is moving efficiently in a specific direction.
Bias Alignment: When the Trend Bias is Bullish and the state is Trending, price discovery is likely occurring to the upside. Conversely, a Bearish bias in a Trending state suggests efficient movement to the downside.
Risk Management: Rising choppiness levels often precede a period of trend exhaustion or reversal, signaling a potential time to reduce exposure.
How it Helps
This tool is designed to assist in objective decision-making by identifying the current "market character." By distinguishing between trending and non-trending environments, it helps traders select the appropriate strategy for the current context—avoiding trend-following entries during sideways markets and identifying when a market has entered a period of price expansion.
Alerts
Trend Starting: Triggers when the index crosses below the lower threshold, suggesting a transition into an efficient trend.
Squeeze/Consolidation: Notifies the user when the index crosses above the upper threshold, indicating range contraction.
Midpoint Cross: Signals when the index crosses the 50-level, marking a shift in market momentum.

Structure Lite - Automatic Major Trend LinesStructure Lite – Pivot-Based Market Structure Visualization
OVERVIEW
Structure Lite is an open-source charting tool designed to assist traders in visualizing higher-timeframe market structure. The script identifies major swing points using high-period pivot analysis and projects structural support and resistance lines directly on the chart. Its purpose is to highlight persistent market structure while minimizing visual noise.
CORE CONCEPTS & CALCULATIONS
Pivot Identification
The script uses Pine Script’s built-in ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions to identify confirmed swing highs and lows. A pivot is only validated after a user-defined number of bars (Major Pivot Lookback) have formed on both sides of the price extreme, ensuring that only structurally significant pivots are selected.
Structural Pairing
Each structural line is created only after two consecutive pivots of the same type are confirmed (high-to-high or low-to-low). The script stores the price and bar index of these pivots and uses them as fixed anchor points.
Line Projection
Once a valid pivot pair is formed, the script draws a line between the two points using line.new() and extends it forward using extend.right. These lines represent projected structural boundaries rather than trade signals.
Object Management
To maintain chart clarity and performance, the script manages all drawn objects through a line array. A FIFO (First-In, First-Out) method is applied so that only the three most recent structural lines remain visible. Older lines are automatically deleted as new ones are created.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY & ORIGINALITY
While many indicators plot frequent swing points or short-term pivots, Structure Lite focuses on structural persistence. By filtering for higher-period pivots and limiting the number of displayed projections, the script emphasizes dominant market structure rather than short-term fluctuations. This approach is intended to support discretionary analysis, not replace it.
HOW TO USE
Major Pivot Lookback
Increase the value to focus on higher-timeframe structure (e.g., swing or position trading).
Decrease the value to visualize intraday structural levels.
Visual Encoding
Green lines represent projected structural support
Red lines represent projected structural resistance
Visibility Control
A boolean input allows all structure lines to be hidden instantly to restore a clean price chart.
LIMITATIONS & DISCLAIMER
This script is a visualization tool only. It does not generate trade signals, entry or exit points, alerts, or directional forecasts. All plotted levels are derived from historical price action and may change as new pivots form. The script is provided for educational and analytical purposes and should be used in conjunction with other forms of market analysis
Volatility State Index [Interakktive]The Volatility State Index (VSI) classifies market volatility into three behavioral states: Expansion, Decay, and Transition. It answers one question visually: Is volatility supporting price movement, withdrawing, or unstable?
Unlike traditional volatility indicators that show levels or bands, VSI diagnoses the current volatility regime so traders can adapt their approach accordingly.
█ WHAT IT DOES
• Classifies volatility into three states: Expansion (teal), Decay (grey), Transition (amber)
• Measures volatility momentum as a percentage rate-of-change
• Applies stability filtering to detect unstable/choppy conditions
• Uses persistence logic to prevent state flickering
• Exports state data for use in alerts and strategies
█ WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
• NO buy/sell signals
• NO entry/exit recommendations
• NO alerts (v1 is diagnostic only)
• NO performance claims
This is a volatility diagnostic tool, not a trading system.
█ HOW IT WORKS
The VSI processes volatility through a five-stage pipeline:
STAGE 1 — Base Volatility
Calculates ATR as the foundation for volatility measurement.
STAGE 2 — Smoothing
Applies EMA smoothing to reduce noise in the volatility series.
STAGE 3 — Volatility Momentum
Computes the percentage rate-of-change of smoothed volatility:
Volatility Momentum (%) = ((Current ATR - Previous ATR) / Previous ATR) × 100
Positive values indicate expanding volatility; negative values indicate contracting volatility.
STAGE 4 — Stability Filter
Tracks how frequently volatility momentum changes direction. Frequent sign changes indicate unstable, choppy conditions.
Stability Score = 1 - (Average Flip Rate)
Low stability forces the Transition state regardless of momentum level.
STAGE 5 — State Classification
Combines momentum thresholds and stability to determine the final state:
• Expansion: Momentum ≥ +5% (default threshold)
• Decay: Momentum ≤ -5% (default threshold)
• Transition: Between thresholds OR low stability
A persistence filter requires states to hold for multiple bars before confirming, preventing visual noise.
█ INTERPRETATION
EXPANSION (Teal)
Volatility is increasing in a sustained way. Price moves are becoming larger.
What it suggests:
• Breakouts are more likely to follow through
• Stops may need wider placement
• Trend-following approaches tend to work better
• Mean-reversion weakens
DECAY (Grey)
Volatility is decreasing. Price is compressing into tighter ranges.
What it suggests:
• Breakouts are more likely to fail
• Ranges tend to hold
• Trend-following underperforms
• Mean-reversion strengthens
TRANSITION (Amber)
Volatility behavior is unclear or unstable. This is NOT neutral — it is uncertainty.
What it suggests:
• Mixed signals — one bar huge, next bar dead
• Higher whipsaw risk
• Reduced conviction in either direction
• Consider waiting for clarity
The key insight: Amber is a warning, not a middle ground. It appears when volatility cannot decide what it wants to do.
█ VISUAL DESIGN
The indicator uses a state-first histogram design:
• Histogram height shows volatility momentum percentage
• Histogram color shows the classified state
• Zero line provides visual anchor
• Optional momentum line for confirmation
• Optional background tint (default OFF for clean charts)
The visual hierarchy prioritizes instant state recognition. A trader should understand the volatility environment in under one second without reading numbers.
█ INPUTS
Core Settings
• ATR Length: Base volatility measurement period (default: 14)
• Smoothing Length: EMA smoothing applied to ATR (default: 10)
• Momentum Length: Rate-of-change lookback (default: 10)
State Classification
• Expansion Threshold (%): Momentum above this = Expansion (default: 5.0)
• Decay Threshold (%): Momentum below this = Decay (default: -5.0)
• Persistence Bars: Bars required to confirm state change (default: 3)
• Stability Lookback: Window for stability calculation (default: 20)
• Stability Threshold: Below this = forced Transition (default: 0.5)
Visual Settings
• Show State Histogram: Toggle main display (default: ON)
• Show Momentum Line: Thin confirmation line (default: OFF)
• Show Zero Line: Baseline reference (default: ON)
• Show Background Tint: Subtle state coloring (default: OFF)
█ DATA WINDOW EXPORTS
When enabled, the following values are exported:
• ATR (Raw)
• ATR (Smoothed)
• Volatility Momentum (%)
• Stability Score (0-1)
• State (-1/0/1): Decay = -1, Transition = 0, Expansion = 1
• Is Expansion (0/1)
• Is Decay (0/1)
• Is Transition (0/1)
These exports allow VSI to be used as a filter in Pine Script strategies or alert conditions.
█ ORIGINALITY
While ATR and volatility indicators are common, VSI is original because it:
1. Classifies volatility into behavioral states rather than showing raw levels
2. Applies momentum analysis to volatility itself (rate-of-change of ATR)
3. Uses stability filtering to detect genuinely unstable conditions
4. Implements persistence logic to prevent state flickering
5. Provides a state-first visual design optimized for instant recognition
VSI is state-first: it classifies volatility regimes (Expansion/Decay/Transition) rather than plotting volatility level alone, using momentum and stability to reduce false regime reads.
This is not a modified ATR or Bollinger Band — it is a volatility regime classifier.
█ SUITABLE MARKETS
Works on: Stocks, Futures, Forex, Crypto
Timeframes: All timeframes — state classification adapts accordingly
Best on: Instruments with consistent volatility patterns
█ RELATED
• Market Efficiency Ratio — measures price path efficiency
• Effort-Result Divergence — compares volume effort to price result

ADP Heiken Ashi [Wonra]**Heiken Ashi candles dynamically colored by Accumulation/Distribution Pressure (ADP) zones for enhanced trend visualization**
---
## 📝 Full Description:
### ADP Heiken Ashi
This indicator combines **Heiken Ashi candles** with **Accumulation/Distribution Pressure (ADP)** analysis to provide enhanced trend visualization through dynamic candle coloring.
---
### 🔬 How It Works
**Accumulation/Distribution Pressure (ADP)** is a volume-weighted momentum oscillator that measures buying and selling pressure on a 0-100 scale:
- **ADP < 45**: Accumulation Zone (buying pressure dominant)
- **ADP > 55**: Distribution Zone (selling pressure dominant)
- **ADP 45-55**: Neutral Zone (balanced pressure)
**The Calculation:**
1. Price change is compared to True Range to determine directional strength
2. Volume is applied as a weight to amplify significant moves
3. RMA smoothing creates a stable 0-100 oscillator
4. A JMA (Jurik Moving Average) signal line provides trend context
**Heiken Ashi candles** are then colored based on the ADP zone:
- **Bright Green**: Bullish HA candle in Accumulation Zone with rising ADP
- **Bright Red**: Bearish HA candle in Distribution Zone with falling ADP
- **Orange**: Bullish HA in Distribution (potential exhaustion warning)
- **Blue**: Bearish HA in Accumulation (potential reversal brewing)
---
### 🎨 Visual Guide
| Candle Color | Meaning |
|--------------|---------|
| **Bright Green** | Strong bullish momentum + smart money accumulating |
| **Light Green** | Bullish but neutral zone - proceed with caution |
| **Bright Red** | Strong bearish momentum + distribution underway |
| **Light Red** | Bearish but neutral zone - watch for changes |
| **Orange** | Bullish price but distribution detected - warning |

Phantom Trend Filter [BOSWaves]Phantom Trend Filter - Volatility-Gated Trend Mapping with Fake Move Suppression
Overview
Phantom Trend Filter is a market-state and trend-validation framework designed to help traders distinguish between directional opportunity and structural noise. Rather than attempting to predict price or generate constant entry signals, Phantom focuses on identifying when trend information is reliable and when it should be ignored.
Most indicators attempt to remain active at all times. Phantom does the opposite. It is built around the idea that markets frequently enter conditions where directional interpretation is misleading - whether through consolidation, volatility expansion, artificial momentum bursts, or weak underlying trend participation. In these phases, acting on trend information often leads to poor trade quality. Phantom is designed to recognize these environments and deliberately suppress bias during them.
The result is an indicator that spends a meaningful amount of time telling the trader not to trade.
Conceptual Alignment and Regime Philosophy
Phantom operates on a regime-aware philosophy similar to advanced volatility frameworks: markets transition through identifiable states, and not all states are suitable for directional interpretation.
Rather than measuring opportunity by price movement alone, Phantom evaluates whether participation, volatility behavior, and directional imbalance are aligned. When these elements diverge, trend interpretation becomes statistically fragile. Phantom reframes trend analysis away from constant engagement and toward conditional relevance. It does not ask where price is likely to go, but whether directional reasoning is currently justified at all.
Structural Trend Framework
At its core, Phantom Trend Filter employs a low-lag filtering mechanism designed to model price behavior across two distinct temporal sensitivities. One component responds rapidly to immediate price pressure, while the other captures broader directional context. Together, they form an adaptive structure that tracks price fluidly without relying on fixed bands, static smoothing, or conventional averaging assumptions.
Rather than treating these components as isolated signals, Phantom interprets their interaction as a cohesive trend framework. The space between them defines an active zone where price engagement conveys information about market participation, continuation strength, or emerging exhaustion. A dynamically calculated balance reference within this structure reflects the equilibrium between short-term pressure and higher-order directional force.
Trend direction is derived strictly from relative structural positioning, not exaggerated slope changes or reactive trigger events. This design minimizes over-responsiveness and maintains structural integrity during consolidation phases, avoiding the constant recalibration common in traditional trend tools.
Market State Awareness and Filtering Philosophy
Trend indicators often fail not because their logic is incorrect, but because they are applied indiscriminately across all market states. Phantom is built around the assumption that trend logic is only meaningful when certain conditions are met.
To address this, Phantom incorporates multiple independent measurements designed to assess whether current price movement represents genuine directional intent or transient distortion. These measurements do not attempt to forecast price; instead, they evaluate quality.
Volatility is assessed relative to historical baselines rather than absolute expansion. Momentum is normalized to avoid reacting to short-lived impulses. Trend strength is evaluated through directional imbalance rather than price slope alone. Price behavior is examined for whipsaw characteristics, where range expansion lacks follow-through. Consolidation is detected when price variance collapses relative to recent volatility.
Each of these components serves a single purpose: to decide whether trend interpretation should be trusted.
State-Based Regime Transitions
Phantom internally classifies market behavior into functional states rather than continuous gradients. These states are expressed visually through color, structure, and suppression rather than explicit labels.
A validated trend state emerges only when structural alignment, normalized volatility behavior, and directional imbalance agree. In contrast, when destabilizing forces dominate — such as volatility distortion, weak participation, compression, or whipsaw behavior - Phantom enters a suppressed state and removes directional bias entirely.
Transitions between these states are deliberately conservative. Phantom requires stabilization before re-enabling trend interpretation, preventing rapid flip-flopping during unstable market phases.
Fake Move Identification
When one or more destabilizing conditions are detected, Phantom classifies the environment as unreliable. These situations often correspond to what traders colloquially refer to as fake pumps, fake dumps, stop hunts, or algorithmic noise - though Phantom does not rely on labels or narrative.
In these states, Phantom intentionally removes directional bias. The indicator does not attempt to guess the eventual outcome of the move. Instead, it signals that any directional interpretation at that moment is statistically weaker.
This design choice is intentional and conservative. Phantom prioritizes capital protection and decision clarity over constant engagement.
Relationship to Volatility and Participation
Although Phantom is not a volatility oscillator, volatility behavior plays a critical contextual role in its filtering logic.
Rather than reacting to absolute volatility expansion, Phantom evaluates volatility relative to recent structural norms and directional participation. Elevated volatility without directional imbalance is treated as noise. Directional imbalance without supportive volatility structure is treated as fragile. This allows Phantom to suppress visually convincing but structurally weak moves - the type most commonly responsible for overtrading and stop-outs.
Visual Communication and Interpretation
Phantom communicates market state primarily through color and structure rather than symbols, markers, or signal arrows. This is a deliberate design decision aimed at reducing cognitive load.
When conditions validate a bullish environment, the Phantom structure and candles adopt a bullish color (green). When bearish conditions are validated, the structure reflects that state, adopting a bearish color (red). When filtering conditions dominate, the indicator shifts into a neutral gray state across bands, fills, and candles.
Gray is not indecision — it is information. It communicates that the system’s internal conditions do not support directional conviction. Traders are expected to interpret this as a stand-aside environment or as a warning against aggressive execution.
Adaptive Behavior and Trading Styles
Phantom offers two operational modes that adjust its sensitivity without altering its underlying philosophy. A faster mode responds more quickly to changes in price structure and is more suitable for lower timeframes or scalping environments. A slower mode increases stability, favoring higher timeframes and swing-based decision-making.
Importantly, neither mode attempts to optimize for signal frequency. Both prioritize environment validation first and directional interpretation second.
Use Cases
Use Case 1: Trend Participation With Built-In Noise Suppression
Phantom Trend Filter is designed for traders who want directional exposure without getting chopped to death. The adaptive trend structure highlights when price is being accepted within a dominant directional regime, while automatically muting conditions associated with weak participation, consolidation, or engineered volatility.
When the Phantom zone is colored and stable, it signals that price is operating within a structurally supported trend environment. When the zone turns neutral, it’s not indecision — it’s a warning that directional assumptions are statistically weak and capital should be protected. This makes Phantom especially effective as a trend permission filter rather than a trigger generator.
Use Case 2: Fake Pump / Dump Avoidance in High-Volatility Markets
In fast-moving or thin-liquidity conditions, Phantom excels at identifying structurally invalid moves - sharp expansions driven by volatility spikes, momentum bursts, or whipsaw price behavior that lack trend integrity. Instead of chasing candles, traders can use Phantom’s neutral state to stand aside during manipulated or exhaustion-driven moves, then re-engage only when price behavior realigns with sustained directional pressure.
Alerts and Practical Integration
Alerts within Phantom are intentionally conservative. Directional alerts only trigger when trend conditions are met and filtering logic is inactive. This ensures alerts correspond to structurally valid environments rather than transient fluctuations.
An additional alert notifies the user when Phantom detects unreliable conditions. This is not an entry or exit signal, but a contextual warning that trend-based logic may be compromised.
Phantom is best used as a filtering and confirmation layer rather than a standalone strategy. It pairs naturally with execution-based systems, structure tools, or discretionary price action approaches that benefit from knowing when trend bias is valid.
Design Intent and Limitations
Phantom Trend Filter is not designed to call tops or bottoms. It is not optimized for maximum trade frequency. It will intentionally keep traders out of the market during extended periods of uncertainty.
This is not a flaw. It reflects a design philosophy centered on reducing poor-quality decisions rather than maximizing engagement.
Traders who expect constant activity will find Phantom restrictive. Traders who prioritize clarity, patience, and structural alignment will find it useful.
What Phantom Is Not
Phantom is not a signal generator. It is not a predictive model. It is not designed to extract profit from every phase of the market.
Its value emerges through omission - by identifying when trend logic should not be applied.
Integration With Execution and Structure Tools
Phantom is most effective when paired with tools that answer how to execute rather than whether to engage. In this role, Phantom acts as a gating mechanism, conditioning execution logic rather than replacing it.
Operational Expectations
Phantom will spend extended periods in a neutral state. This behavior is intentional.
Markets spend more time transitioning, compressing, and distorting than trending cleanly. Phantom reflects this reality rather than obscuring it.
Final Notes
No indicator removes risk. No filter eliminates losses. Phantom does not attempt to outperform the market; it attempts to improve the conditions under which decisions are made.
Used correctly, it helps traders trade less - but trade better.

KINETIC GOLD NQ Velocity Breakout [Ash_TheTrader]
🚀 Stop Guessing. Start Scalping with Physics.
Introducing the KINETIC GOLD NQ ⚡ VELOCITY BREAKOUT System
Author: Ash_TheTrader
Assets: Gold (XAUUSD), Nasdaq (US100), Bitcoin (BTC)
Style: High-Frequency Scalping (M1/M5)

🛑 The Problem: Why Most Indicators Fail
You’ve been there. The RSI says "Oversold," so you buy. But price keeps crashing. The Moving Average crosses over, so you enter. But the trend is already over.
Why? Because those indicators are lagging . They tell you what happened 10 candles ago.
⚡ The Solution: The "Physics" of Price
Markets move like objects in the real world. They have Velocity (Speed) and Momentum (Mass).
The Kinetic Velocity Breakout (KMB) system doesn't look at "Overbought" or "Oversold." It looks for FORCE .
It answers one simple question: Is the market moving fast enough to pay me?
---
🧠 The 4 "Smart Logic" Features
1. The Velocity Speedometer 🏎️
Most candles are "noise." This system ignores them. It uses a Normalized Volatility Engine to detect when price hits "WARP SPEED".
• Blue: Slow (Cruising). Don't touch.
• Yellow: Accelerating. Get ready.
• Red: WARP SPEED. Institutional money is entering.
2. The 1.5x Impulse Rule 💥
The algorithm strictly enforces the "1.5x Law." A signal ONLY fires if the breakout candle is 1.5 times larger than the average of the last 3 candles.
• Result? No more fakeouts. We only trade real expansions.
3. "Smart Mode" AI Dashboard 🖥️
A heads-up display (HUD) lives on your chart, auto-detecting your trading environment:
• Auto-Session: Tells you if you are in London, New York, or Asia.
• Risk Mode: Shows if you are using "Aggressive" or "Normal" logic.
• Status: Gives you a text readout like "READY ⚡" or "WAIT..."
4. Auto-Pilot Risk Management 🛡️
Scalping is fast. You don't have time to calculate Pips.
• The script draws the lines for you.
• As soon as a "ROCKET" signal appears, a Green TP Line (2x Reward) and Red SL Line appear instantly.

🎮 How to Trade: The 3-Step "Kinetic" Strategy
This strategy is designed for Gold (XAUUSD) and Nasdaq (US100) on the 5-Minute Timeframe .
Step 1: The "Yellow" Warning ⚠️
Watch the Smart Structure Lines (Dashed Lines).
• If the candles turn Yellow or the Dashboard says "FAST" , wake up.
• This means pressure is building against a key level.
Step 2: The "Warp" Trigger 🚀
Wait for a Confirmed Breakout . You are looking for:
1. A candle closes OUTSIDE the dashed structure line.
2. The candle color is NEON CYAN (Bullish) or NEON MAGENTA (Bearish).
3. The Signal Label appears: "ROCKET" (Buy) or "DROP" (Sell).
👉 Rule: No Label? No Trade. The 1.5x Logic saves you from bad trades.
Step 3: The Execution 💰
1. Enter at the close of the signal candle.
2. Stop Loss: Place it exactly on the Red Line provided by the indicator.
3. Take Profit: Place it on the Green Line .
4. Walk away. Let the physics work.

⚙️ Customizing Your Style
The script comes with two built-in "Personalities":
🛡️ Normal Scalper (Default)
• Best for: New traders, Funded Accounts.
• Logic: Waits for strong confirmation. High Win Rate.
• Risk: 1:2 Risk/Reward.
⚠️ QuickScalper (Aggressive)

Bear Momentum Engine (RSI Regime)Title: Bear Momentum Engine (RSI Regime)
Bear Momentum Engine is a professional-grade analytical tool designed specifically for crypto markets during bearish cycles. Unlike traditional RSI indicators that look for "oversold" levels, this engine focuses on momentum structure and regime expansion phases.
The Philosophy
Most traders lose money by buying "oversold" RSI during a crash. This tool is built on Andrew Cardwell’s range shift theory: in a true bear regime, RSI struggles to break above 60, and its real power is found in how it expands away from its moving average.
Key Features:
Bear Regime Detection: Automatically identifies the bearish market phase. The background turns red only when the structural momentum confirms a downside bias.
Momentum Expansion: A proprietary algorithm tracks the "detachment" of RSI from its MA. When the distance increases, it signals a high-probability bearish thrust.
Iron Exit: A disciplined profit-taking system. It triggers an exit signal as soon as the momentum starts to fade, allowing you to lock in gains before the bounce.
No-Trade Zones: Filters out "market noise." The gray background indicates a sideways market where the risk-to-reward ratio is unfavorable.
Best Use Cases:
Strategy: Short-selling, Futures, and Perpetuals.
Goal: Trading with the trend and avoiding "bull traps."
Recommended Timeframes: 1H, 4H, Daily.
Liquidity Sweep pro📌 Liquidity Sweep Pro – Strategy Description
Liquidity Sweep Pro is a price–action based trading strategy designed to identify liquidity grabs and smart money reversals around key swing highs and lows.
This strategy focuses on moments where price takes out resting liquidity above recent highs or below recent lows, then shows clear rejection and directional intent, which often precedes strong reversals or continuations.
🔍 Core Logic
The strategy is built on three main concepts:
1️⃣ Liquidity Sweep Detection
Identifies recent swing highs and swing lows using pivot structure
Detects when price sweeps above a high or below a low, signaling liquidity collection
2️⃣ CISD Confirmation (Change in State of Delivery)
After a liquidity sweep, the strategy waits for:
Bearish confirmation after sweeping highs
Bullish confirmation after sweeping lows
This confirmation is based on candle behavior and price closing back inside the structure, filtering out false breakouts.
3️⃣ Optional Trend Filter (Hull MA)
An optional Hull Moving Average filter can be enabled to trade:
Longs in bullish conditions
Shorts in bearish conditions
This helps reduce counter-trend trades while keeping the strategy flexible.
🎯 Risk Management
Stop Loss and Take Profit are calculated dynamically using ATR
Fully customizable Risk : Reward ratio
Designed to adapt to different market conditions and volatility levels
⚙️ Recommended Usage
Best suited for intraday and scalping trading
Works well on:
XAUUSD (Gold) – M3 / M5
Crypto – M5 / M15
Indices – M5
The strategy does not repaint and only generates signals after candle close.
⚠️ Disclaimer
This strategy is for educational and research purposes only.
Always test and optimize parameters for your specific market and timeframe before using it in live trading.
RS of long term KSTDescription
Relative Strength of KST (Know Sure Thing) momentum between a stock and a reference index (e.g., Intesa San Paolo vs. FTSEMIB).
This indicator computes the KST oscillator separately for the chart symbol and the comparative symbol, then plots the difference (stock KST minus index KST). A positive or rising value indicates the stock has stronger momentum than the benchmark.
Best used on weekly timeframes.
Features:
- Fully configurable KST parameters (ROC lengths, SMA smoothing, weights).
- Signal line (SMA of the RS of KST) for potential crossover signals.
- Zero line for reference.
Rising values or crossings above the signal line may suggest improving relative momentum.
What the Script Does
This indicator calculates the Relative Strength of the KST momentum oscillator between the current chart symbol (e.g., a stock) and a comparative symbol (default: FTSEMIB).
KST Calculation (Know Sure Thing oscillator, originally developed by Martin Pring), computes four Rate-of-Change (ROC) values with different lengths (10, 13, 15, 20 by default). Each ROC is smoothed with its own SMA. The four smoothed ROCs are weighted (weights 1, 2, 3, 4 by default) and summed to create the final KST value.
This is done separately for: The chart symbol → kst
The comparative symbol → kstSymbol
Relative Strength of KST res = kst - kstSymbol
This is a subtraction-based relative strength (difference) of the two KST values, not a ratio, as to avoid singularity (division by zero).
A rising line or value above zero means the stock’s momentum (KST) is stronger than the index’s momentum.
Plotting Plots the RS of KST as a blue line.
Overlays a gray SMA (default length 10) with cross style (acts as a signal line).
Horizontal line at zero for reference.
This is best used on weekly charts (as KST is typically a longer-term momentum indicator).
TCR by AMAGADON TCR - THREE CANDLE RULES
The Methodology
TCR (Three Candle Rules) is a systematic confirmation indicator developed to solve the problem of "False Breakouts." Many traders lose capital by entering as soon as price touches a level; TCR eliminates this by enforcing a Two-Candle Validation rule.
The algorithm identifies a session-based range and requires price to "prove" its strength by holding outside that range for two consecutive candles before a signal is issued.
How the TCR Logic Works:
Zone Identification: The script anchors to the high and low of the session start (Asia, London, or NY).
Validation (The Rule):
For a BUY: Two consecutive M15 candles must both Open and Close entirely above the session high.
For a SELL: Two consecutive M15 candles must both Open and Close entirely below the session low.
The Trigger Box: Once validated, a Blue (Buy) or Red (Sell) box is drawn. The 50% (Midpoint) of the trigger candle becomes the high-probability entry zone.
STRICT FOREX RISK DISCLOSURE
⚠️ HIGH-RISK WARNING: Trading Foreign Exchange (Forex) involves a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can lead to the loss of your entire investment. Only trade with money you can afford to lose.

Relative StrengthDescription
Relative Strength between a stock and a reference index (e.g., Intesa San Paolo vs. FTSEMIB).
This indicator calculates the Relative Strength (RS) as either a simple ratio of the base symbol's close to the comparative symbol's close, or as a normalized ratio over a lookback period. It helps identify the relative performance of a stock against an index, which can signal intermediate trends when the RS is above its moving average.
Key features:
- Input for comparative symbol (default: FTSEMIB).
- Option to toggle between simple ratio or ratio-over-time calculation.
- Adjustable lookback period for the ratio-over-time method.
- Optional display of a moving average on the RS line for trend analysis.
Use it to compare a stock's strength to the market—rising RS may indicate outperformance.
Script Overview
This is a Relative Strength (RS) indicator for TradingView (written in Pine Script version 5).
It compares the price performance of the current chart's symbol (e.g., a stock like Intesa San Paolo) against another symbol you choose (by default, the Italian index FTSEMIB).
The goal is to show whether the stock is outperforming or underperforming the reference index.
User Inputs (configurable in the settings panel)
Comparative Symbol Default: FTSEMIB
You can change it to any other ticker (e.g., SPX, DAX, etc.).
Calculate RS as simple ratio (true) or ratio over time (false)?
true (default): Simple ratio → current close of stock ÷ current close of index.
false: Ratio of returns over a lookback period (more normalized, less affected by absolute price levels).
Lookback Period (default 40 - weeks)
Only used when the above option is set to false.
Defines how many bars back to calculate the price change.
Show Moving Average (default off)
Optionally overlays a simple moving average on the RS line.
Moving Average Period (default 40 - weeks)
Length of the SMA when the MA is enabled.
Typical Use CaseTraders often look for:
Rising RS line → the stock is gaining strength vs. the index.
RS crossing above its moving average → potential bullish signal for relative performance.
Declining or falling RS → the stock is weakening vs. the broader market.
In summary, this is a clean and flexible relative strength comparator that lets you quickly visualize how strongly (or weakly) a stock is performing compared to a benchmark index, with two different calculation methods to suit different analytical preferences.
