2 MA Simplified Sideways Candle ColorsHow to Use the Indicator: A Simple Guide
This custom indicator colors candlesticks to help you quickly identify market conditions based on two moving averages (9-period and 21-period). Here’s how to get started:
Add the Indicator to Your Chart:
Copy the provided Pine Script code.
Open TradingView and navigate to the Pine Editor.
Paste the code into a new script, save it, and then add the indicator to your chart.
Understand the Candlestick Colors:
Green Candles (Bullish):
Indicates a bullish market when the price is above the 9-period SMA and the 9 SMA is above the 21 SMA.
Red Candles (Bearish):
Indicates a bearish market when the price is below the 21-period SMA and the 9 SMA is below the 21 SMA.
Yellow Candles (Sideways):
Indicates a sideways (neutral) market when:
Condition 1: Price is below the 9 SMA but above the 21 SMA, with the 9 SMA above the 21 SMA, or
Condition 2: The 9 SMA is below the 21 SMA, and the price lies between them.
White Candles (No Clear Signal):
Used when none of the above conditions apply.
Interpreting the Signals:
When you see green candles, the market is showing bullish momentum.
When you see red candles, bearish pressure is dominant.
Yellow candles suggest the market is moving sideways without a strong trend.
White candles mean that none of the specific conditions (bullish, bearish, or sideways) are currently met.
Chart Reference:
The script also plots two moving averages on your chart (a blue line for the 9-period SMA and an orange line for the 21-period SMA). These lines help visualize how price interacts with these averages.
Using the Indicator in Practice:
Once added to your chart, monitor the color of the candlesticks:
Green signals may be opportunities to consider long positions.
Red signals may indicate a good time to consider short positions or tighten stops.
Yellow signals suggest caution as the market isn’t trending strongly.
White candles indicate no strong signal, so it might be a period of consolidation or indecision.
This simple visual cue system allows you to quickly assess market sentiment and make more informed trading decisions based on the relationship between price and the two moving averages.
TITAN U&D-30En esta estrategia se utilizan 4 indicadores para confirmar la señal de entrada tanto en compra como en venta.
Predictive Ranges, SMA, RSI strategyThis strategy combines three powerful technical indicators: Predictive Ranges, Simple Moving Average (SMA), and Relative Strength Index (RSI), to help identify potential market entry and exit points.
Key Features:
Predictive Ranges: The strategy utilizes predictive price levels (such as support and resistance levels) to anticipate potential price movements and possible breakouts. These levels act as critical points for making trading decisions.
SMA (Simple Moving Average): A 200-period SMA is incorporated to determine the overall market trend. The strategy trades in alignment with the direction of the SMA, taking long positions when the price is bellow the SMA and short positions when it is above. This helps ensure the strategy follows the prevailing market trend.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): The strategy uses the RSI (14-period) to gauge whether the market is overbought or oversold. A value above 70 signals that the asset may be overbought, while a value below 30 indicates that it might be oversold. These conditions are used to refine entry and exit points.
Entry & Exit Logic:
Long Entry: The strategy enters a long position when the price crosses above the predictive resistance level (UpLevel1/UpLevel2), and RSI is in the oversold region (below 30), signaling potential upward movement.
Short Entry: The strategy enters a short position when the price crosses below the predictive support level (LowLevel1/LowLevel2), and RSI is in the overbought region (above 70), signaling potential downward movement.
Exit Strategy: The exit levels are determined based on the predictive range levels (e.g., UpLevel1, UpLevel2, LowLevel1, LowLevel2), ensuring that trades are closed at optimal levels. A stop loss and take profit are also applied, based on a user-defined percentage, allowing for automated risk management.
Strategy Advantages:
Trend Following: By using SMA and predictive ranges, this strategy adapts to the prevailing market trend, enhancing its effectiveness in trending conditions.
RSI Filtering: The RSI helps avoid trades in overbought/oversold conditions, refining entry signals and improving the likelihood of success.
Customizable: Traders can adjust parameters such as stop loss, take profit, and predictive range levels, allowing them to tailor the strategy to their preferred risk tolerance and market conditions.
This strategy is designed for traders who prefer a combination of trend-following and mean-reversion techniques, with a focus on predictive market levels and essential momentum indicators to improve trade accuracy.

Triple MA For Loop [SeerQuant]Triple MA For Loop
The Triple MA For Loop (TMA FL) by SeerQuant is an advanced moving average-based indicator designed to dynamically detect trends through a combination of three smoothed moving averages and iterative evaluation using a for-loop mechanism. This innovative approach enhances trend detection while filtering out noise, providing actionable insights into market trends.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
⚙️ How It Works
1️⃣ Triple Moving Average Calculation
This indicator calculates three moving averages (MA1, MA2, MA3) using a customizable moving average type, such as SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, and more. These are combined mathematically to derive the Triple Moving Average (TMA), which smooths trends while remaining responsive to market shifts.
2️⃣ Iterative For-Loop Evaluation
The TMA is passed through a for-loop, iterating over a user-defined range to calculate a cumulative trend score. This score reflects the balance between bullish and bearish signals across the looped period.
3️⃣ Threshold Logic
The trend score is compared against customizable Uptrend and Downtrend thresholds to determine the current market regime:
Bullish (Uptrend): When the score exceeds the upward threshold.
Bearish (Downtrend): When the score falls below the downward threshold.
Neutral: When the score lies between thresholds.
4️⃣ Dynamic Visual Representation
Line: A colored histogram represents the trend score, dynamically adjusting based on market conditions.
Candlestick Coloring: Optional candle coloring visually enhances trend identification on the chart.
Signals: Arrow markers highlight transitions into bullish or bearish states for clear, actionable signals.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
✨ Customizable Settings

PGO For Loop | mad_tiger_slayerPGO For Loop Indicator
The PGO For Loop indicator, inspired by Alex Orekhov's "Pretty Good Oscillator," and indicator originally made by Mark Johnson, the PGO designed as a fast and responsive tool to capture quick price movements in financial markets. This oscillator leverages a combination of moving averages and Average True Range (ATR) to measure price deviations, providing a concise yet powerful framework for identifying potential trade entry and exit points. What makes this
"enhanced" PGO indicator special is its ability to identify trending periods more accurately. By using thresholds, this allows the script to enter accurate long and short conditions extremely quickly.
Intended Uses:
Used to capture long-term trends:
Used to identify quick reversals:
Used on higher timeframes above 8hrs for more accurate signals
Used in strategies to enter and exit trades quickly
Can be used for Scalping
NOT Intended Uses:
Not to be used as Mean Reversion
Not to be used as valuation (Overbought or Oversold)
Key Features:
Quick Detection of Market Movements:
The indicator's primary focus is on speed, making it suitable for medium-term traders looking to capitalize on rapid price changes. It is particularly effective in trending or volatile markets.
Customizable Thresholds:
Users can set upper and lower thresholds to define long and short conditions, offering flexibility to adapt the indicator to different trading styles and asset classes.
Noisy but Purposeful:
While the PGO For Loop may generate frequent signals, it is specifically tuned for traders aiming to enter and exit trades quickly, embracing the noise as part of its effectiveness in capturing rapid market dynamics.
Integrated Visuals:
The script plots key levels and provides dynamic visual feedback through colored candles and shapes, enabling intuitive and quick decision-making.
How It Works:
Oscillator Calculation:
The PGO value is derived by comparing the source price's deviation from its moving average to the ATR. This highlights price movements relative to recent volatility.
Signal Identification:
When the oscillator exceeds the upper threshold, it signals potential long opportunities UNTIL the PGO reaches the lower threshold.
When the oscillator drops below the lower threshold, it signals potential short opportunities UNTIL the oscillator reaches above the upper threshold.
No signals occur when the oscillator lies between these thresholds.
Visual Cues:
Color-coded candles indicate market bias (green for long, red for short, gray for neutral).
Upward and downward triangles highlight changes in signal direction.
Note:
This indicator is intentionally "noisy," as it prioritizes capturing fast movements over filtering out minor fluctuations. Users should pair it with other tools or techniques to confirm signals and manage risk effectively.
[MAD] Weighted Trend Detector--> Purpose
The Weighted Trend Detector evaluates market direction by combining multiple technical indicators (RSI, MACD, Moving Averages, ADX, and Volume) across up to three different timeframes.
It calculates an overall trend score to help visualize whether conditions are bullish, bearish, or neutral.
--> Scaling & Weightings
Each component indicator contributes a score between -1.0 and +1.0. User-defined weights (e.g., 0.2 for RSI, 0.3 for MACD) determine how much each indicator influences the final score. An adaptive scaling mechanism ensures extreme values remain in view by dynamically setting the minimum and maximum of the score range over a specified lookback period.
--> Basic Parameters of Individual Indicators
RSI Period: Number of bars for the Relative Strength Index calculation; higher values smooth out noise but may lag.
MACD Fast/Slow/Signal: EMA-based periods to identify momentum shifts. A shorter “Fast” length reacts quickly, while a longer “Slow” length is smoother.
Moving Averages (Short & Long Lengths): Simple Moving Averages used to gauge shorter- vs. longer-term price direction.
ADX Length: Defines how many bars are considered when measuring trend strength. Higher values produce smoother ADX lines.
Volume MA Length: Period over which the average volume is calculated to compare against current volume.
--> Colors & How They Are Mixed
The background color scales from a negative color (for lower scores) to a positive color (for higher scores).
Near the highest or lowest parts of the score range, additional blending occurs if the slope (change in score) reverses:
Turning Down: Mixes with a user-chosen “warning” color if the score is high but moving lower.
Turning Up: Mixes with a user-chosen “recovery” color if the score is low but moving higher.
All colors (including line and label text) can be adjusted in the script’s inputs to suit personal preferences.colors are customizable via inputs.
Have fun :-)

JJ Highlight Time Ranges with First 5 Minutes and LabelsTo effectively use this Pine Script as a day trader , here’s how the various elements can help you manage trades, track time sessions, and monitor price movements:
Key Components for a Day Trader:
1. First 5-Minute Highlight:
- Purpose: Day traders often rely on the first 5 minutes of the trading session to gauge market sentiment, watch for opening price gaps, or plan entries. This script draws a horizontal line at the high or low of the first 5 minutes, which can act as a key level for the rest of the day.
- How to Use: If the price breaks above or below the first 5-minute line, it can signal momentum. You might enter a long position if the price breaks above the first 5-minute high or a short if it breaks below the first 5-minute low.
2. Session Time Highlights:
- Morning Session (9:15–10:30 AM): The market often shows its strongest price action during the first hour of trading. This session is highlighted in yellow. You can use this highlight to focus on the most volatile period, as this is when large institutional moves tend to occur.
- Afternoon Session (12:30–2:55 PM): The blue highlight helps you track the mid-afternoon session, where liquidity may decrease, and price action can sometimes be choppier. Day traders should be more cautious during this period.
- How to Use: By highlighting these key times, you can:
- Focus on key breakouts during the morning session.
- Be more conservative in your trades during the afternoon, as market volatility may drop.
3. Dynamic Labels:
- Top/Bottom Positioning: The script places labels dynamically based on the selected position (Top or Bottom). This allows you to quickly glance at the session's start and identify where you are in terms of time.
- How to Use: Use these labels to remind yourself when major time segments (morning or afternoon) begin. You can adjust your trading strategy depending on the session, e.g., being more aggressive in the morning and more cautious in the afternoon.
Trading Strategy Suggestions:
1. Momentum Trades:
- After the first 5 minutes, use the high/low of that period to set up breakout trades.
- Long Entry: If the price breaks the high of the first 5 minutes (especially if there's a strong trend).
- Short Entry: If the price breaks the low of the first 5 minutes, signaling a potential downtrend.
2. Session-Based Strategy:
- Morning Session (9:15–10:30 AM):
- Look for strong breakout patterns such as support/resistance levels, moving average crossovers, or candlestick patterns (like engulfing candles or pin bars).
- This is a high liquidity period, making it ideal for executing quick trades.
- Afternoon Session (12:30–2:55 PM):
- The market tends to consolidate or show less volatility. Scalping and mean-reversion strategies work better here.
- Avoid chasing big moves unless you see a clear breakout in either direction.
3. Support and Resistance:
- The first 5-minute high/low often acts as a key support or resistance level for the rest of the day. If the price holds above or below this level, it’s an indication of trend continuation.
4. Breakout Confirmation:
- Look for breakouts from the highlighted session time ranges (e.g., 9:15 AM–10:30 AM or 12:30 PM–2:55 PM).
- If a breakout happens during a key time window, combine that with other technical indicators like volume spikes , RSI , or MACD for confirmation.
---
Example Day Trader Usage:
1. First 5 Minutes Strategy: After the market opens at 9:15 AM, watch the price action for the first 5 minutes. The high and low of these 5 minutes are critical levels. If the price breaks above the high of the first 5 minutes, it might indicate a strong bullish trend for the day. Conversely, breaking below the low may suggest bearish movement.
2. Morning Session: After the first 5 minutes, focus on the **9:15 AM–10:30 AM** window. During this time, look for breakout setups at key support/resistance levels, especially when paired with high volume or momentum indicators. This is when many institutions make large trades, so price action tends to be more volatile and predictable.
3. Afternoon Session: From 12:30 PM–2:55 PM, the market might experience lower volatility, making it ideal for scalping or range-bound strategies. You could look for reversals or fading strategies if the market becomes too quiet.
Conclusion:
As a day trader, you can use this script to:
- Track and react to key price levels during the first 5 minutes.
- Focus on high volatility in the morning session (9:15–10:30 AM) and **be cautious** during the afternoon.
- Use session-based timing to adjust your strategies based on the time of day.
NVOL Normalized Volume & VolatilityOVERVIEW
Plots a normalized volume (or volatility) relative to a given bar's typical value across all charted sessions. The concept is similar to Relative Volume (RVOL) and Average True Range (ATR), but rather than using a moving average, this script uses bar data from previous sessions to more accurately separate what's normal from what's anomalous. Compatible on all timeframes and symbols.
Having volume and volatility processed within a single indicator not only allows you to toggle between the two for a consistent data display, it also allows you to measure how correlated they are. These measurements are available in the data table.
DATA & MATH
The core formula used to normalize each bar is:
( Value / Basis ) × Scale
Value
The current bar's volume or volatility (see INPUTS section). When set to volume, it's exactly what you would expect (the volume of the bar). When set to volatility, it's the bar's range (high - low).
Basis
A statistical threshold (Mean, Median, or Q3) plus a Sigma multiple (standard deviations). The default is set to the Mean + Sigma × 3 , which represents 99.7% of data in a normal distribution. The values are derived from the current bar's equivalent in other sessions. For example, if the current bar time is 9:30 AM, all previous 9:30 AM bars would be used to get the Mean and Sigma. Thus Mean + Sigma × 3 would represent the Normal Bar Vol at 9:30 AM.
Scale
Depends on the Normalize setting, where it is 1 when set to Ratio, and 100 when set to Percent. This simply determines the plot's scale (ie. 0 to 1 vs. 0 to 100).
INPUTS
While the default configuration is recommended for a majority of use cases (see BEST PRACTICES), settings should be adjusted so most of the Normalized Plot and Linear Regression are below the Signal Zone. Only the most extreme values should exceed this area.
Normalize
Allows you to specify what should be normalized (Volume or Volatility) and how it should be measured (as a Ratio or Percentage). This sets the value and scale in the core formula.
Basis
Specifies the statistical threshold (Mean, Median, or Q3) and how many standard deviations should be added to it (Sigma). This is the basis in the core formula.
Mean is the sum of values divided by the quantity of values. It's what most people think of when they say "average."
Median is the middle value, where 50% of the data will be lower and 50% will be higher.
Q3 is short for Third Quartile, where 75% of the data will be lower and 25% will be higher (think three quarters).
Sample
Determines the maximum sample size.
All Charted Bars is the default and recommended option, and ignores the adjacent lookback number.
Lookback is not recommended, but it is available for comparisons. It uses the adjacent lookback number and is likely to produce unreliable results outside a very specific context that is not suitable for most traders. Normalization is not a moving average. Unless you have a good reason to limit the sample size, do not use this option and instead use All Charted Bars .
Show Vol. name on plot
Overlays "VOLUME" or "VOLATILITY" on the plot (whichever you've selected).
Lin. Reg.
Polynomial regressions are great for capturing non-linear patterns in data. TradingView offers a "linear regression curve", which this script uses as a substitute. If you're unfamiliar with either term, think of this like a better moving average.
You're able to specify the color, length, and multiple (how much to amplify the value). The linear regression derives its value from the normalized values.
Norm. Val.
This is the color of the normalized value of the current bar (see DATA & MATH section). You're able to specify the default, within signal, and beyond signal colors. As well as the plot style.
Fade in colors between zero and the signal
Programmatically adjust the opacity of the primary plot color based on it's normalized value. When enabled, values equal to 0 will be fully transparent, become more opaque as they move away from 0, and be fully opaque at the signal. Adjusting opacity in this way helps make difference more obvious.
Plot relative to bar direction
If enabled, the normalized value will be multiplied by -1 when a bar's open is greater than the bar's close, mirroring price direction.
Technically volume and volatility are directionless. Meaning there's really no such thing as buy volume, sell volume, positive volatility, or negative volatility. There is just volume (1 buy = 1 sell = 1 volume) and volatility (high - low). Even so, visually reflecting the net effect of pricing pressure can still be useful. That's all this setting does.
Sig. Zone
Signal zones make identifying extremes easier. They do not signal if you should buy or sell, only that the current measurement is beyond what's normal. You are able to adjust the color and bounds of the zone.
Int. Levels
Interim levels can be useful when you want to visually bracket values into high / medium / low. These levels can have a value anywhere between 0 and 1. They will automatically be multiplied by 100 when the scale is set to Percent.
Zero Line
This setting allows you to specify the visibility of the zero line to best suit your trading style.
Volume & Volatility Stats
Displays a table of core values for both volume and volatility. Specifically the actual value, threshold (mean, median, or Q3), sigma (standard deviation), basis, normalized value, and linear regression.
Correlation Stats
Displays a table of correlation statistics for the current bar, as well as the data set average. Specifically the coefficient, R2, and P-Value.
Indices & Sample Size
Displays a table of mixed data. Specifically the current bar's index within the session, the current bar's index within the sample, and the sample size used to normalize the current bar's value.
BEST PRACTICES
NVOL can tell you what's normal for 9:30 AM. RVOL and ATR can only tell you if the current value is higher or lower than a moving average.
In a normal distribution (bell curve) 99.7% of data occurs within 3 standard deviations of the mean. This is why the default basis is set to "Mean, 3"; it includes the typical day-to-day fluctuations, better contextualizing what's actually normal, minimizing false positives.
This means a ratio value greater than 1 only occurs 0.3% of the time. A series of these values warrants your attention. Which is why the default signal zone is between 1 and 2. Ratios beyond 2 would be considered extreme with the default settings.
Inversely, ratio values less than 1 (the normal daily fluctuations) also tell a story. We should expect most values to occur around the middle 3rd, which is why interim levels default to 0.33 and 0.66, visually simplifying a given move's participation. These can be set to whatever you like and only serve as visual aids for your specific trading style.
It's worth noting that the linear regression oscillates when plotted directionally, which can help clarify short term move exhaustion and continuation. Akin to a relative strength index (RSI), it may be used to inform a trading decision, but it should not be the only factor.
Time-Based VWAP (TVWAP)(TVWAP) Indicator
The Time-Based Volume Weighted Average Price (TVWAP) indicator is a customized version of VWAP designed for intraday trading sessions with defined start and end times. Unlike the traditional VWAP, which calculates the volume-weighted average price over an entire trading day, this indicator allows you to focus on specific time periods, such as ICT kill zones (e.g., London Open, New York Open, Power Hour). It helps crypto scalpers and advanced traders identify price deviations relative to volume during key trading windows.
Key Features:
Custom Time Interval:
You can set the exact start and end times for the VWAP calculation using input settings for hours and minutes (24-hour format).
Ideal for analyzing short, high-liquidity periods.
Dynamic Accumulation of Price and Volume:
The indicator resets at the beginning of the specified session and accumulates price-volume data until the end of the session.
Ensures that the TVWAP reflects the weighted average price specific to the chosen session.
Visual Representation:
The indicator plots the TVWAP line only during the specified time window, providing a clear visual reference for price action during that period.
Outside the session, the TVWAP line is hidden (na).
Use Cases:
ICT Scalp Trading:
Monitor price rebalances or potential liquidity sweeps near TVWAP during important trading sessions.
Mean Reversion Strategies:
Detect pullbacks toward the session’s average price for potential entry points.
Breakout Confirmation:
Confirm price direction relative to TVWAP during kill zones or high-volume times to determine if a breakout is supported by volume.
Inputs:
Start Hour/Minute: The time when the TVWAP calculation starts.
End Hour/Minute: The time when the TVWAP calculation ends.
Technical Explanation:
The indicator uses the timestamp function to create time markers for the session start and end.
During the session, the price-volume (close * volume) is accumulated along with the total volume.
TVWAP is calculated as:
TVWAP = (Sum of (Price × Volume)) ÷ (Sum of Volume)
Once the session ends, the TVWAP resets for the next trading period.
Customization Ideas:
Alerts: Add notifications when the price touches or deviates significantly from TVWAP.
Different Colors: Use different line colors based on upward or downward trends.
Multiple Sessions: Add support for multiple TVWAP lines for different time periods (e.g., London + New York).
Fibonacci Retracement MTF/LOGIn Pine Script, there’s always a shorter way to achieve a result. As far as I can see, there isn’t an indicator among the community scripts that can produce Fibonacci Retracement levels (linear and logarithmic) as multiple time frame results based on a reference 🍺 This script, which I developed a long time ago, might serve as a starting point to fill this gap.
OVERVIEW
This indicator is a short and simple script designed to display Fibonacci Retracement levels on the chart according to user preferences, aiming to build the structure of support and resistance.
ORIGINALITY
This script:
Can calculate 'retracement' results from higher time frames.
Can recall previous time frame results using its reference parameter.
Performs calculations based on both linear and logarithmic scales.
Offers optional multipliers and appearance settings to simplify users’ tasks
CONCEPTS
Fibonacci Retracement is a technical analysis tool used to predict potential reversal points in an asset's price after a significant movement. This indicator identifies possible support and resistance levels by measuring price movements between specific points in a trend, using certain ratios derived from the Fibonacci sequence. It is based on impulsive price actions.
MECHANICS
This indicator first identifies the highest and lowest prices in the time frame specified by the user. Next, it determines the priority order of the bars where these prices occurred. Finally, it defines the trend direction. Once the trend direction is determined, the "Retracement" levels are constructed.
FUNCTIONS
The script contains two functions:
f_ret(): Generates levels based on the multiplier parameter.
f_print(): Handles the visualization by drawing the levels on the chart and positioning the labels in alignment with the levels. It utilizes parameters such as ordinate, confirmation, multiplier, and color for customization
NOTES
The starting bar for the time frame entered by the user must exist on the chart. Otherwise, the trend direction cannot be determined correctly, and the levels may be drawn inaccurately. This is also mentioned in the tooltip of the TimeFrame parameter.
I hope it helps everyone. Do not forget to manage your risk. And trade as safely as possible. Best of luck!
Candle Spread Oscillator (CS0)The Candle Spread Oscillator (CSO) is a custom technical indicator designed to help traders identify momentum and directional strength in the market by analyzing the relationship between the candle body spread and the total candle range. This oscillator provides traders with a visually intuitive representation of price action dynamics and highlights key transitions between positive and negative momentum.
How It Works:
Body Spread vs. Total Range:
The CSO calculates the body spread (difference between the close and open price) and compares it to the total range (difference between the high and low price) of a candle.
The ratio of the body spread to the total range represents the proportion of price movement driven by directional momentum.
Smoothed Oscillator:
To remove noise and enhance clarity, the ratio is smoothed using a Hull Moving Average (HMA). The smoothing period can be adjusted through the "Smoothing Period" input, enabling traders to tailor the indicator to their preferred timeframes or strategies.
Gradient Visualization:
A gradient coloring is applied to the oscillator, transitioning smoothly between colors (e.g., fuchsia for negative momentum and aqua for positive momentum). This provides traders with a clear, intuitive visual cue of market behavior.
Visual Features:
Oscillator Plot:
The oscillator is displayed as an area-style plot, dynamically colored using a gradient. Positive values are represented in shades of aqua, while negative values are in shades of fuchsia.
Midline (0 Level):
A horizontal midline is plotted at the zero level, serving as a key reference point for identifying transitions between positive and negative momentum.
Background Highlights:
The chart background is subtly colored to match the oscillator's state, enhancing the visual emphasis on current momentum conditions.
Alerts for Key Crossovers:
The CSO comes with built-in alert conditions, making it highly actionable for traders:
Cross Up Alert: Triggers when the oscillator crosses above the midline (0), signaling a potential shift into positive momentum.
Cross Down Alert: Triggers when the oscillator crosses below the midline (0), indicating a potential transition into negative momentum.
These alerts allow traders to stay informed about critical market shifts without constantly monitoring the chart.
How to Use:
Trend Identification:
When the oscillator is above the midline and positive, it indicates that price action is moving with bullish momentum.
When the oscillator is below the midline and negative, it reflects bearish momentum.
Momentum Strength:
The magnitude of the oscillator (its distance from the midline) helps traders gauge the strength of the momentum. Stronger moves will push the oscillator further from zero.
Potential Reversals:
Crossovers of the oscillator through the midline can signal potential reversals or shifts in market direction.
Customization:
Adjust the Smoothing Period to adapt the sensitivity of the oscillator to different timeframes. A lower smoothing period reacts faster to price changes, while a higher smoothing period smooths out noise.
Best Use Cases:
Momentum Trading: Identify periods of sustained bullish or bearish momentum to align with the trend.
Reversal Signals: Spot transitions in market direction when the oscillator crosses the midline.
Confirmation Tool: Use the CSO alongside other indicators (e.g., volume, trendlines, or moving averages) to confirm trading signals.
Key Inputs:
Smoothing Period: Customize the sensitivity of the oscillator by adjusting the lookback period for the Hull Moving Average.
Gradient Range: The color gradient transitions between defined thresholds (-0.1 to 0.2 by default), ensuring a smooth visual experience.

By integrating this indicator into your strategy, you gain a powerful tool to analyze buyer/seller dominance alongside volume trends, improving your market timing and trade execution.
The Buyer and Seller Pressure components in this indicator provide crucial insights into the market's sentiment and momentum by analyzing the price action relative to the trading volume. Here's how they are used:
1. Buyer Pressure:
Formula:
Buyer Pressure = (Close − Open) / (High − Low )
Interpretation:
* A high buyer pressure (≥ 0.75) indicates strong bullish sentiment, where the price closes much higher than it opened, and the range (high-low) is sufficiently wide.
* It identifies periods of aggressive buying, often signaling potential bullish trends or confirming upward momentum.
2. Seller Pressure:
Formula:
Seller Pressure = (Close − Open ) / (High -Low )
Interpretation:
*A high seller pressure (≥ 0.75) suggests strong bearish sentiment, where the price closes much lower than it opened, within a wide range.
*It helps identify periods of aggressive selling, signaling potential bearish trends or downward momentum.
Purpose in the Indicator:
1. Market Sentiment Analysis:
* Buyer Pressure and Seller Pressure allow traders to gauge market sentiment—whether buyers or sellers dominate a particular time frame.
* This helps in identifying trend reversals or confirmations.
2. Decision-Making Framework:
* The indicator uses thresholds (default 0.75) to classify the market into:
* Strong Buy Signal: When buyer pressure is dominant.
* Strong Sell Signal: When seller pressure is dominant.
* Neutral Signal: When neither buyer nor seller pressure dominates.
*This classification provides a straightforward decision-making tool for traders.
Risk Management:
*By identifying periods of strong buying or selling, traders can avoid entering trades in highly volatile or one-sided markets, which helps reduce risk.
Volume Confirmation:
*Integrating volume data with buyer/seller pressure helps confirm trends. For example:
*High buyer pressure accompanied by higher-than-average volume strengthens the bullish signal.
*Similarly, high seller pressure with higher-than-average volume confirms bearish signals.
Trade Timing:
*The indicator highlights conditions of potential entry (strong buy) or exit (strong sell), allowing traders to time their trades better based on real-time market activity.
Use Case:
*Example:
*Suppose the indicator shows Buyer Pressure = 0.85 with daily volume above the 3-day average. This combination suggests strong bullish activity with momentum, signaling a buy opportunity.
*Conversely, if Seller Pressure = 0.80 with volume above the 5-day average, it signals strong bearish momentum, ideal for selling or shorting.
This indicator combines buyer/seller pressure with volume dynamics, making it valuable for short-term and intraday traders looking for precise market entries and exits.
The background color in this indicator plays an important visual role in helping traders quickly identify the market sentiment based on buyer and seller pressure. It provides a dynamic, color-coded background that changes depending on the strength of the market's buying or selling activity.
Here's how it works:
Background Color Logic:
1. Green Background (Strong Buy Signal):
*Condition: The background turns green when buyer pressure is greater than or equal to 0.75 (strong buying pressure).
*Interpretation: A green background indicates that there is significant bullish sentiment in the market, with strong buying activity. Traders can interpret this as an environment conducive to buying or holding long positions.
*Visual Effect: This helps to quickly spot bullish market conditions, reinforcing potential entry signals for buyers.
2.Red Background (Strong Sell Signal):
*Condition: The background turns red when seller pressure is greater than or equal to 0.75 (strong selling pressure).
*Interpretation: A red background indicates that the market is dominated by selling, showing strong bearish sentiment. Traders can consider this as a signal to sell or short the asset.
*Visual Effect: The red background highlights moments when the market is heavily selling, prompting traders to either exit long positions or take short positions.
Gray Background (Neutral/Indecision Zone):
Condition: The background turns gray when neither buyer nor seller pressure exceeds 0.75. This means the market is neutral, with no dominant bullish or bearish sentiment.
Interpretation: A gray background suggests market indecision or balance between buyers and sellers. It can indicate periods of consolidation or sideways movement where no strong trend is forming.
Visual Effect: The gray background helps traders avoid entering trades when the market lacks a clear direction or when the sentiment is neutral, reducing risk during indecisive times.
Practical Use:
Instant Visual Confirmation:
*Traders can use the background color as an instant confirmation of the market’s sentiment. For instance, if the background turns green, traders might feel more confident in making a long (buy) trade.
*If the background turns red, it serves as a strong visual cue to short or exit a long position.
Helps with Trade Timing:
*The background color can be used in conjunction with other indicators and volume data to time entries and exits more effectively. For example:
*A green background with strong volume indicates a strong trend that could justify a buy.
*A red background with a significant volume surge signals strong selling pressure, which could prompt a sell.
Simplifies Market Analysis:
*For traders who prefer visual cues over complex analysis, the background color simplifies market conditions. Instead of focusing on individual numbers or values, the color-coded background gives them a quick, intuitive view of the market sentiment.
Summary:
* Green background = Strong buying pressure (bullish sentiment)
* Red background = Strong selling pressure (bearish sentiment)
* Gray background = Neutral market (indecision or balance between buyers and sellers)
This background color functionality helps traders stay aware of the prevailing market sentiment at a glance, providing an intuitive way to guide trading decisions.
Enhanced VFI Buyer/Seller PressureThe "Enhanced VFI Buyer/Seller Pressure" indicator serves multiple roles in technical analysis and trading decision-making. Here's an overview of its purpose and functionality:
1. Understanding Market Dynamics
* Buyer Pressure: Indicates how strongly buyers are influencing the price movement during a specific period.
* Seller Pressure: Reflects the intensity of selling activity and its impact on price movement.
Helps assess the balance of power between buyers and sellers.
2. Identifying Key Trading Signals
* Strong Buy Signal: Triggered when buyer pressure exceeds the threshold, suggesting strong upward momentum and a potential opportunity to buy.
* Strong Sell Signal: Triggered when seller pressure exceeds the threshold, indicating strong downward momentum and a potential opportunity to sell.
* Neutral Zone: Represents periods of indecision, where neither buyers nor sellers dominate, often leading to consolidation or reduced volatility.
3. Visualizing Volume Flow Index (VFI)
VFI: Measures the money flow in and out of the market, factoring in both price and volume dynamics.
Helps identify bullish or bearish trends through crossovers:
* VFI Crossover EMA: Signals a bullish shift.
* VFI Crossunder EMA: Signals a bearish shift.
4. Supporting Decision-Making
Histogram Visualization: Provides an easy-to-read representation of buyer and seller pressure over time.

Candles Volume HeatMap [BigBeluga]Candles Volume HeatMap
The Candle Volume HeatMap indicator is a unique and advanced tool that visualizes lower timeframe volume activity within higher timeframe candles, offering traders a granular perspective on volume distribution.
⚠️Important note: before using the indicator, it is necessary to apply it to the candles
🔵Key Features:
Volume HeatMap Visualization: The indicator breaks down each higher timeframe candle into 10 equal vertical segments (boxes) based on its high-to-low range. Each box represents a lower timeframe candle's volume activity, with more intense colors indicating stronger volume levels.
Lower Timeframe Integration: Automatically uses a timeframe 10x lower than the current chart. For example, on a 10-hour chart, it uses 1-hour candles to extract volume data.
POC (Point of Control): The highest volume box within each candle is marked with the volume value. The indicator also plots a horizontal POC line at the level of this box, highlighting significant areas of price interest. The POC line is removed once the price crosses it, ensuring the chart stays clean.
Delta Display (Optional): Traders can enable the Delta feature to analyze buyer vs. seller activity within each higher timeframe candle.
Delta is calculated by summing 10 lower timeframe candles: a bullish candle adds to buyers, while a bearish candle adds to sellers. Displays the net Delta percentage: positive values (white) indicate buyer dominance, while negative values (red) indicate seller dominance.
Dynamic Volume Scaling: The highest volume value in each candle is displayed inside its respective box, providing quick insights into critical price-volume levels.
🔵How It Works:
For each higher timeframe candle, the indicator analyzes 10 lower timeframe candles and maps their volume into 10 segments (boxes) between the high and low of the current candle.
The intensity of each box's color corresponds to the relative volume of the lower timeframe candle it represents.
The POC highlights the price level with the highest concentration of volume, aiding in identifying potential support/resistance zones.
Delta analysis offers additional insights into market sentiment by breaking down buyer and seller activity in each candle.
🔵Use Cases:
Spotting key volume areas within higher timeframe candles to identify support and resistance levels.
Analyzing volume concentration for potential breakout or reversal zones.
Leveraging Delta analysis to gauge market sentiment and confirm volume-based trends.
This indicator is ideal for traders seeking to combine volume analysis with price action, offering precise insights into volume distribution and market dynamics.
