DM Support / Resistance (USA Session)This indicator is specifically designed for use on the 4-hour time frame and helps traders identify key support and resistance levels during the USA trading session (9:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern Time). The indicator calculates important price levels to assist in making well-informed entry and exit decisions, particularly for those focusing on swing trades or longer-term intraday strategies. It also includes a feature to skip setups when relevant fundamental news is scheduled, ensuring you avoid trading during periods of high volatility.
Key Features:
Support and Resistance Levels (S1 & R1):
The indicator calculates and displays Support 1 (S1) and Resistance 1 (R1) levels, which act as key barriers for price action and help traders spot potential reversal or breakout zones on the chart.
Pivot Point (PP):
The Pivot Point (PP) is calculated as the average of the previous period's high, low, and close. It serves as a central reference point for market direction, allowing traders to evaluate whether the market is in a bullish or bearish trend.
Market Bias:
The Bias is shown as a histogram that helps traders assess the strength of the market trend. A positive bias suggests bullish sentiment, while a negative bias signals bearish conditions. This can be used to confirm the overall trend direction.
4-Hour Time Frame:
The indicator is optimized for the 4-hour time frame, making it suitable for traders looking for swing trades or those who wish to capture longer-term trends within the USA session. The key support, resistance, and pivot levels are recalculated dynamically to reflect price action over 4-hour periods.
Dynamic Plotting and Alerts:
Support and resistance levels are drawn as dashed horizontal lines, updating in real-time to reflect the most current market data during the USA session. Alerts can be set for significant price movements crossing these levels.
Stop-Loss Strategy Based on 15-Minute Time Frame:
A unique feature of this indicator is its stop-loss strategy, which uses 15-minute time frame support and resistance levels. When a long or short entry is triggered on the 4-hour chart, traders should place their stop-loss according to the relevant 15-minute support or resistance level.
If the price closes above the 15-minute support for a long entry, or closes below the 15-minute resistance for a short entry, it signals the need to exit or adjust your position based on these levels.
Fundamental News Filter:
To avoid unnecessary risk, the indicator incorporates a fundamental news filter. If there is relevant news scheduled during the USA session, such as high-impact economic data or central bank announcements, the indicator will skip the setup for that period. This prevents traders from entering positions during times of elevated volatility caused by news events, which could result in unpredictable price movements.
How to Use:
Long Entry: When the Bias is positive and the price breaks above Support 1 (S1), this signals a potential bullish move. Consider entering a long position at this point.
Stop-Loss Strategy: Set your stop-loss at the respective 15-minute support level. If the price closes below this level, it could signal a reversal, prompting you to exit the trade.
Short Entry: When the Bias is negative and the price breaks below Resistance 1 (R1), this signals a potential bearish move. Enter a short position at this point.
Stop-Loss Strategy: Set your stop-loss at the respective 15-minute resistance level. If the price closes above this level, exit the short trade as it could indicate a bullish reversal.
Pivot Point (PP): The Pivot Point serves as a reference level to gauge potential price reversals. A move above the PP suggests a bullish bias, while trading below the PP suggests a bearish outlook.
Bias Histogram: The Bias Histogram helps confirm trend direction. A positive bias confirms long positions, while a negative bias reinforces short trades.
Avoid Trading During High-Impact News: If there is significant economic news or fundamental events scheduled during the USA session, the indicator will automatically skip any potential setup. This feature ensures you avoid entering trades that might be affected by unexpected news-driven volatility, keeping your trading strategy safer and more reliable.
Why Use This Indicator:
The 4-hour time frame is ideal for traders who prefer swing trading or those looking to capture longer-term trends in a structured manner. This indicator provides crucial insights into market direction, support/resistance levels, and potential entry/exit points.
The stop-loss management based on the 15-minute support and resistance levels helps traders protect their positions from sudden price reversals, ensuring more precise risk management.
The fundamental news filter is particularly useful for avoidance of high-risk periods. By skipping setups during high-impact news events, traders can avoid entering trades when price volatility could be unpredictable.
Overall, this indicator is a powerful tool for traders who want to make data-driven decisions based on technical analysis while ensuring that their positions are managed responsibly and avoiding news-driven risk.

Trend Trading IndicatorThis trend trading indicator uses multiple different custom formulas to identify market trends as well as identify when the market is moving sideways. It has a master trend that will show you the trend using the color of the candles and then there are multiple different types of entry and confluence signals that will appear as different chart shapes above or below the candles to inform you about when to enter a trade and how strong the trend is so you know whether to hold a position longer or get out. There is also a panel at the bottom of the chart that shows you the trend strength for 5 different timeframes so you can easily identify the short and long term trends and scan through charts quickly to find markets with the strongest trends.
The indicator can be customized to fit your trading style by adjusting the timeframes for the master trend, which timeframes affect signals, turning on or off the various entry & confluence signals, turning on or off ranging market filters and more. It can be adjusted to react quickly for intraday trading or use long timeframes for swing trading or only trading when the market is in a strong long term trend.
The indicator also has a built in trend direction value that can be sent to other indicators to be used as a trend filter as well by setting the source value on an external indicator to use the trend direction value from this indicator. This is useful for preventing signals from coming in on other indicators when they go against the trend that this indicator has identified according to the settings it is configured with.
How To Use This Indicator Properly
This indicator is designed to only give signals when the market is trending and filter out the sideways price action for you. Due to this, depending on the timeframe settings you use, there may be extended periods where there are no signals because the market is going sideways. You can adjust your timeframe settings to react faster or slower by lowering the timeframes used and turning off some of the higher timeframes or use all of the timeframes available and only get signals when the market is in a strong long term trend for the safest trades.
The indicator uses a master trend that needs to show a trend before any other confluence signals can come in. The master trend will show up by coloring the candles blue when the trend is bullish or orange when the trend is bearish according to the settings you have chosen. When the market is not trending, the candles will be colored grey. This helps to keep you out of trades when the market is going sideways. You will only be able to see the master trend by using the colored candles though, so make sure to turn the chart’s candle coloring off so it doesn’t override the indicator candle coloring.
Once a trend has been established, then other signals will begin to show up if the trend is strong and various parameters are met. The indicator includes the following types of signals:
Master Trend Signals
Strong Trend Buy & Sell Signals
Pullback During Strong Trend Signals
Strong All Timeframe Trend Signals
Trend Strength Score Signals
The indicator also has multiple filters you can use to customize the master trend to allow more or less signals to come in. The more filters you have on, the better and more likely the signals are to be winners because it will only give signals when there are very strong trends on all timeframes. If you want a lot of signals for intraday scalping, you can turn off most of the filters and just use lower timeframes for the master trend settings. The following filters can be used to customize the trend parameters:
Signals Only Allowed In Direction Of Timeframes 4 & 5
Trend Of Timeframe #1 Used For Master Trend Signals
Trend Of Timeframe #2 Used For Master Trend Signals
Trend Of Timeframe #3 Used For Master Trend Signals
Trend Of Timeframe #4 Used For Master Trend Signals
Trend Of Timeframe #5 Used For Master Trend Signals
No Master Trend Signals If This Timeframe Is Ranging - #1
No Master Trend Signals If This Timeframe Is Ranging - #2
No Master Trend Signals If This Timeframe Is Ranging - #3
Make sure to keep all trend timeframes in order from 1-5 for best results, even if they are turned off. The indicator is programmed to compare each timeframe to the next one, so keeping the timeframes in order will give you proper calculations. For example: timeframes 1-5 should be 15, 60, 240, 1D, 1W or 240, 1D, 1W, 1M, 3M and so on.
The indicator has alerts for bullish and bearish versions of each type of signal so you can get notified when a chart is trending strongly.
Market Hours Available To Use The Indicator On
The indicator works on stocks, crypto, forex and futures markets and other markets that have the same hours, you just need to select the hours that the market you are trading has in the main indicator settings to get the correct signals. There are options for stock hours(6.5 hours a day, 5 days per week), futures/forex hours(23 hours a day, 5 days per week) and crypto hours(24 hours a day, 7 days per week). Just select the correct option in the dropdown menu and the indicator will calculate based on those hours.
Master Trend Settings
The master trend is calculated using Timeframes 1-5, the setting for whether to use timeframes 1-5 for signals, ranging market filters 1-3 and only allow signals in the direction of timeframes 4 & 5. These settings will affect how the overall trend is calculated, which has to be trending in order for any confluence signals to come in.
Set timeframe 1 to a higher timeframe than your chart is set to. For example if you trade the 1 minute or 5 minute chart, timeframe #1 needs to be set to something higher than your chart so 15, 60 or 240. Then set timeframes 2-5 to be one timeframe higher than the previous one. So if timeframe 1 is 60, then timeframe 2 should be 240 and so on. Make sure to do this even if you do not turn on each timeframe to be used for master trend signals as the higher timeframes will still affect the confluence signals.
Turn on or off the toggle for each timeframe if you want the master trend to use. Keeping just lower timeframes on will give more signals for short term trends and leaving all of the timeframes on will only give signals when all of the timeframes are trending. I recommend keeping timeframes 1 & 2 on at the very least and then turning on or off timeframes 3-5 based on how many signals you want and how strong you want the trend to be in order for signals to be given.
Ranging Market Filters
The indicator has parameters to detect if the market is ranging or moving sideways on each timeframe and will show this by coloring the trend strength score in the bottom panel grey for that timeframe. When the market is ranging, it is best to not trade because there is no established trend. Use these filters to increase the probability of the master trend and confluence trend signals being correct and moving in the direction of the trend.
If you turn on the ranging market filters, you will not get any signals if the market is detected as ranging on any of the timeframes you have turned on for the ranging market filters.
You can use 1, 2 or all 3 ranging market filters to dial in the indicator to your preference. Make sure to backtest it and look at historical data to see how this will affect the indicator and choose what settings work best for your style of trading.
Signals Only Allowed In Direction Of Timeframes 4 & 5
If you only want to make sure you are trading in the direction of the long term trend, turn this setting on. It will prevent the indicator from giving any signals that are not in the same direction as the long term trends and increase your probability for winning trades.
This setting allows you to quickly filter out any noise that you will get from lower timeframe trends that are not in the same direction as the long term trends and helps to ensure you stick to the overall trend. Markets will usually make much faster and larger moves in the direction of the overall trend and have high resistance, choppy moves when going in the opposite direction, so this will help you avoid getting into those trades even if you don’t have timeframes 4 & 5 turned on in the master trend timeframe settings.
Strong Buy & Sell Signals
When the master trend detects a trending market and the trend is strong on all 5 timeframes, the indicator will show crosses on the chart meaning these are great entry points to get into the market with positions in the direction of the trend. There are 3 levels of these signals and will show as small crosses, medium crosses and large crosses. The larger the cross is, the stronger the trend is and is more likely to continue the trend.
Use these strong buy & sell signal crosses as entry points and place your stop loss at the most recent major pivot. Then trail your stop loss with the trade to lock in profits.
Pullbacks During Strong Trend Signals
When there is a strong trend on timeframes 3-5 and a pullback on timeframes 1 & 2, then move back in the direction of the higher timeframe trend, this will fire a signal to enter a trade in the direction of the trend. These are excellent entries since the market has pulled back, allowing you to have a good entry with low potential drawdown.
These signals will appear as label tag or price tag looking signals. Use these for your entries and then place a stop loss just beyond the most recent major pivot and trail your stop loss as the trade moves in your favor to lock in profits.
Strong All Timeframe Trend Signals
When the trend is strong on all timeframes that you have set to use for master trend signals, the indicator will show circles/dots on the chart above or below the candles. There is also a second type of strong trend calculation that it uses that will detect a strong trend in a slightly different way and that formula will paint a background color on the chart as extra confluence. When the background color and dots show up at the same time, that means both formulas are showing strong trends.
Use these dots and background coloring to confirm your position and continue to hold it for more gains. Strong trends typically continue in the same direction so use these signals as extra confluence to hold your position and stay in the trade.
Trend Strength Score Signals
Each timeframe will have a trend strength score calculated. If you turn the visuals on in the master trend timeframe settings, they will show up as an oscillator in the bottom panel. It will show red for bearish trends and green for bullish trends and grey when the market is ranging. It will also show a label next to each timeframe telling you the score out of the maximum score for that timeframe.
Pay attention to these as they will give you a very quick way to read the long term and short term trends. When all timeframes are trending strongly, the background will paint red or green to notify you of strong trends that you can trade.
When the long term trends agree, but short term trends are going against the long term, look for the short term trends to reverse and use those areas as entry positions for longer trades in the direction of the overall trend. Doing this really helps to identify possible reversals and keep you from getting into those types of trades too early.
Timeframes The Indicator Can Be Used On
The indicator is setup to be used on the following chart timeframes: 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minute, 3 minute, 5 minute, 10 minute, 15 minute, 30 minute, 1 hour, 2 hour, 4 hour, 6 hour, 8 hour, 12 hour and 1 day charts.
If your chart is set to a different timeframe than the ones listed above, it will not calculate properly, so make sure your chart is on the correct timeframe.
Markets The Indicator Can Be Used On
The indicator has 3 modes for various market hours. The type of market doesn’t matter, what matters is how many hours that market is open for. Almost all markets fall under 3 types of opening hours so we have provided the ability for the indicator to calculate correctly on all 3 types of market hours. The hours it can use are: stocks(6.5 hours per day, 5 days per week), crypto(24 hours per day, 7 days per week) and futures/forex(23 hours per day, 5 days per week).
You will need to update this setting from the dropdown at the top of the indicator settings to match the chart that you are on for it to calculate correctly.
Filtering Other Indicators Using The Trend Direction Of This Indicator
The indicator has a built in trend direction value that can be sent to other indicators and used as a filter. By setting an input.source() value on other indicators that are on the same chart as this indicator, you can set that indicator to do or not do whatever you want when this trend indicator shows a trend or not.
The name of the source you can use on your external indicator is called Trend Direction To Send To External Indicators. The values it sends are as follows: 0 when there is no master trend direction, 1 when the master trend is bullish and -1 when the master trend is bearish.
By using this source, you can prevent other indicators from giving sell signals during up trends, prevent other indicators from giving buy signals during down trends and prevent other indicators from giving any signals when the market is ranging or not showing an established trend.
Alerts Available To Use
The indicator has alerts for bullish versions as well as bearish versions of each type of signal available. Use these alerts to notify you of strong trends on markets that you may not have the charts up for at all times but still want to trade.

Intrinsic Event (Multi DC OS)Overview
This indicator implements an event-based approach to analyze price movements in the foreign exchange market, inspired by the intrinsic time framework introduced in Fractals and Intrinsic Time - A Challenge to Econometricians by U. A. Müller et al. (1995). It identifies significant price events using an intrinsic time perspective and supports multi-agent analysis to reflect the heterogeneous nature of financial markets. The script plots these events as lines and labels on the chart, offering a visual tool for traders to understand market dynamics at different scales.
Key Features
Intrinsic Events : The indicator detects directional change (DC) and overshoot (OS) events based on user-defined thresholds (delta), aligning with the paper’s concept of intrinsic time (Section 6). Intrinsic time redefines time based on market activity, expanding during volatile periods and contracting during inactive ones, rather than relying on a physical clock.
Multi-Agent Analysis : Supports up to five agents, each with its own threshold and color settings, reflecting the heterogeneous market hypothesis (Section 5). This allows the indicator to capture the perspectives of market participants with different time horizons, such as short-term FX dealers and long-term central banks.
How It Works
Intrinsic Events Detection : The script identifies two types of events using intrinsic time principles:
Directional Change (DC) : Triggered when the price reverses by the threshold (delta) against the current trend (e.g., a drop by delta in an uptrend signals a "Down DC").
Overshoot (OS) : Occurs when the price continues in the trend direction by the threshold (e.g., a rise by delta in an uptrend signals an "Up OS").
DC events are plotted as solid lines, and OS events as dashed lines, with labels like "Up DC" or "OS Down" for clarity. The label style adjusts based on the trend to ensure visibility.
Multi-Agent Setup : Each agent operates independently with its own threshold, mimicking market participants with varying time horizons (Section 5). Smaller thresholds detect frequent, short-term events, while larger thresholds capture broader, long-term movements.
Settings
Each agent can be configured with:
Enable Agent : Toggle the agent on or off.
Threshold (%) : The percentage threshold (delta) for detecting DC and OS events (default values: 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.5%, 1%, 2% for agents 1–5).
Up Mode Color : Color for lines and labels in up mode (DC events).
Down Mode Color : Color for lines and labels in down mode (OS events).
Usage Notes
This indicator is designed for the foreign exchange market, leveraging its high liquidity, as noted in the paper (Section 1). Adjust the threshold values based on the instrument’s volatility—higher volatility leads to more intrinsic events (Section 4). It can be adapted to other markets where event-based analysis applies.
Reference
The methodology is based on:
Fractals and Intrinsic Time - A Challenge to Econometricians by U. A. Müller, M. M. Dacorogna, R. D. Davé, O. V. Pictet, R. B. Olsen, and J. R. Ward (June 28, 1995). Olsen & Associates Preprint.
Dynamic Support & Resistance ZonesThis indicator dynamically detects and plots support and resistance levels by analyzing recent price pivots. It works as follows:
Inputs:
Set the number of bars to look back, pivot strength (left/right), minimum touches for a major level, and a tolerance percentage that is converted to decimal.
Note:
• Pivot Left is the number of bars before the candidate bar that must be lower (for a swing high) or higher (for a swing low) than the candidate. It ensures the candidate is higher (or lower) than recent previous bars.
• Pivot Right is the number of bars after the candidate bar that are also required to be lower (for a swing high) or higher (for a swing low) than the candidate. This parameter is crucial because it verifies that the candidate bar wasn’t just a temporary spike—price needs to remain below (or above) the candidate for a number of subsequent bars.
Suggested default settings for a daily chart: Bars to Look Back: 60; Pivot Left: 2; Pivot Right: 2; Min Touches for Major Level: 2; Tolerance (%): 1
Pivot Detection:
It uses built-in pivot functions to identify swing highs (potential resistance) and swing lows (potential support) based on a user-defined lookback window and pivot strength.
Clustering:
Detected levels that are close (within a set tolerance) are grouped into clusters. Each cluster averages the levels and counts the number of touches. This helps determine if a zone is repeatedly tested.
Visual Display:
It plots horizontal lines on the chart:
Red lines indicate “major” zones that have been tested a number of times (as defined by the user).
Blue lines represent secondary levels that have been touched less often.
Dynamic Cleanup:
Clusters outside the user-defined lookback period are removed so that only recent, relevant levels remain visible.
In short, the indicator creates a dynamic, visually updated map of key support and resistance zones based on recent price action and pivot behavior.
EVC ChecklistEVC system - Cậu Hoàng
The EVC trading system is a multi-timeframe analysis method, where the abbreviation EVC stands for Entry timeframe, Validation timeframe, and Context timeframe.1 As described, the trader will choose any timeframe as the Entry timeframe (E). Then, the next timeframes are calculated based on E according to the formula: V = E6 and C = V10.2 These multiplications are performed after converting the E timeframe to seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months, and the results V and C are also expressed in the corresponding time units. This approach is considered an effective timeframe template for trading across all timeframes.1 For example, if the Entry timeframe is 60 minutes, the Validation timeframe will be approximately 300 minutes (equivalent to one day), and the Context timeframe will be approximately 10 days (equivalent to one week). Conversely, if the Entry timeframe is 1 minute, the Validation timeframe will be approximately 6 minutes, and the Context timeframe will be approximately 60 minutes (i.e. hourly).2 The flexibility in choosing the Entry timeframe means that the EVC system can be adapted to suit a variety of trading styles and timeframe preferences. The core of the system lies in its fixed-multiplier multiplier multiplier structure, which creates a consistent analysis process.
The purpose of the Pine Script checklist indicator is to provide a visual tool on the TradingView platform that guides traders through the EVC system’s analysis process step by step. This indicator will act as a trading assistant, ensuring that all the criteria of the system are systematically considered before making a trading decision. By following the checklist, the trader can reduce impulsive decisions based on emotions and increase discipline in applying the defined trading strategy. It should be noted that the proposed Pine Script will only focus on the UI and logic of the checklist based on user input. This indicator will not automatically access or analyze live market data from TradingView. Instead, the user will need to manually assess the market conditions on the selected timeframes and input the relevant information into the checklist. Therefore, this indicator is a decision support tool, not a fully automated trading system.

UT Bot Alerts v6Original code from QuantNomad
As the title says, this is an updated version of UT Bot with Alerts that works with Per bar close and once per bar. I also cleaned up the visuals.
Failed Breakout DetectionThis indicator is a reverse-engineered copy of the FBD Detection indicator published by xfuturesgod. The original indicator aimed at detecting "Failed Breakdowns". This version tracks the opposite signals, "Failed Breakouts". It was coded with the ES Futures 15 minute chart in mind but may be useful on other instruments and time frames.
The original description, with terminology reversed to explain this version:
'Failed Breakouts' are a popular set up for short entries.
In short, the set up requires:
1) A significant high is made ('initial high')
2) Initial high is undercut with a new high
3) Price action then 'reclaims' the initial high by moving +8-10 points from the initial high
This script aims at detecting such set ups. It was coded with the ES Futures 15 minute chart in mind but may be useful on other instruments and time frames.
Business Logic:
1) Uses pivot highs to detect 'significant' initial highs
2) Uses amplitude threshold to detect a new high above the initial high; used /u/ben_zen script for this
3) Looks for a valid reclaim - a red candle that occurs within 10 bars of the new high
4) Price must reclaim at least 8 points for the set up to be valid
5) If a signal is detected, the initial high value (pivot high) is stored in array that prevents duplicate signals from being generated.
6) FBO Signal is plotted on the chart with "X"
7) Pivot high detection is plotted on the chart with "P" and a label
8) New highs are plotted on the chart with a red triangle
Notes:
User input
- My preference is to use the defaults as is, but as always feel free to experiment
- Can modify pivot length but in my experience 10/10 work best for pivot highs
- New high detection - 55 bars and 0.05 amplitude work well based on visual checks of signals
- Can modify the number of points needed to reclaim a high, and the # of bars limit over which this must occur.
Alerts:
- Alerts are available for detection of new highs and detection of failed breakouts
- Alerts are also available for these signals but only during 7:30PM-4PM EST - 'prime time' US trading hours
Limitations:
- Current version of the script only compares new highs to the most recent pivot high, does not look at anything prior to that
- Best used as a discretionary signal

DoloresOverview
The "Dolores Trading Assistant" is a sleek and intuitive indicator designed to empower traders during the high-volatile New York trading session. This tool overlays a customizable table on your chart, presenting real-time insights from key market internals—NYSE and Nasdaq Advance/Decline (A/D), Volume Difference (VOLD), and TICK—in a clear, color-coded format. Its streamlined design focuses on delivering essential market data with trend states, making it a practical companion for assessing momentum and sentiment at a glance.
Purpose and Usefulness
Tailored for intraday traders, the Dolores Trading Assistant goes beyond price-based analysis by tapping into broad market internals to uncover the underlying forces driving the New York session. Whether you’re scalping, day trading, or monitoring short-term trends, this indicator helps you quickly gauge market direction, confirm momentum, and identify potential shifts—all from a single, visually accessible table. Its simplicity and focus on real-time data make it a valuable tool for traders seeking clarity in fast-moving markets.
How It Works
The indicator fetches live data from six vital market internals using a 1-second timeframe:
NYSE Advance/Decline (A/D) - Tracks the net balance of advancing versus declining NYSE stocks.
Nasdaq Advance/Decline (A/D) - Monitors the same for Nasdaq stocks.
NYSE VOLD - Measures the net volume difference between buying and selling on the NYSE.
Nasdaq VOLD - Captures the equivalent for Nasdaq.
NYSE TICK - Reflects the net number of NYSE stocks ticking up versus down.
Nasdaq TICK - Provides the same for Nasdaq.
These internals are processed to determine their trend states—such as bullish, bearish, or neutral—displayed in colors and emojis for instant recognition. The table organizes this data into three columns: the condition (e.g., "NYSE A/D"), its current reading (formatted for readability, like "1.2m" or "500k"), and its trend state (e.g., "Trending Bullish" or "Neutral"). This setup offers a snapshot of market health without overwhelming the user with excessive details.
Internal Signals and Their Role
Each internal signal contributes to understanding the market’s current state and the conditions you’re trading into:
NYSE and Nasdaq A/D: Reveals market breadth. Strong positive values suggest widespread buying, while negative readings indicate broad selling, helping you confirm if a move has robust participation.
NYSE and Nasdaq VOLD: Tracks volume momentum. High positive figures point to aggressive buying pressure, while deep negatives signal heavy selling, validating whether price moves are backed by volume.
NYSE and Nasdaq TICK: Captures short-term sentiment. Extreme readings highlight overbought or oversold conditions, offering clues about momentum strength or potential exhaustion.
How Signals Confirm Conditions
Trend States: Each internal’s trend state (e.g., "Bullish," "Bearish," "Trending Bearish") reflects its current momentum. Consistent bullish states across multiple internals confirm a strong upward trend, while bearish alignments suggest selling pressure. Neutral or mixed states indicate indecision or choppiness, guiding you to adjust expectations accordingly.
Visual Cues: Color-coded backgrounds (e.g., green for bullish, red for bearish) and emojis (e.g., 🐂for bullish, 🐻for bearish) make it easy to spot dominant conditions or emerging shifts, enhancing your ability to react quickly.
How to Use It
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to any symbol (Best W/ SPY, QQQ, IWM and correlated futures securities) on a 1-second or higher timeframe. The table appears in your chosen position (default: bottom right).
Monitor Internals: Check the table for real-time readings and trend states. For example, "NYSE TICK: 800, Strong Overbought Rally" signals short-term bullish momentum.
Assess Conditions: Look for alignment across internals—e.g., multiple "Bullish" states suggest buying strength, while "Neutral" dominance warns of choppy action.
Adapt Your Strategy: Use the trend states to confirm entries, exits, or hold-off decisions. Pair with price tools (e.g., candlestick patterns) for a fuller picture.
Customize: Adjust table position, orientation (vertical/horizontal), text size, colors, and transparency via inputs to match your setup.
Customization
Tailor the experience with options for table placement (e.g., "Top Left"), text size (e.g., "Small" to "Huge"), orientation, and color schemes. Adjust transparency settings to keep the table unobtrusive yet readable.
Limitations
Requires real-time NYSE/Nasdaq data access, which may depend on your TradingView subscription.
Displays current conditions only, not predictive signals—use it as a real-time snapshot, not a crystal ball.
Best paired with price analysis for comprehensive trading decisions.
Requires a TradingView Subscription that supports the 1s Time Frame
Why It’s Original
The Dolores Trading Assistant stands out with its elegant, yet simple table-based presentation of NYSE and Nasdaq internals, distilled into an intuitive format with trend states and visual cues. Unlike cluttered dashboards or generic mashups, it offers a focused, trader-centric view of market momentum, avoiding unnecessary complexity while delivering actionable insights—making it a fresh and practical tool for the New York session.
Smarter Money Concepts - OBs [PhenLabs]📊 Smarter Money Concepts - OBs
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
Smarter Money Concepts - OBs (Order Blocks) is an advanced technical analysis tool designed to identify and visualize institutional order zones on your charts. Order blocks represent significant areas of liquidity where smart money has entered positions before major moves. By tracking these zones, traders can anticipate potential reversals, continuations, and key reaction points in price action.
This indicator incorporates volume filtering technology to identify only the most significant order blocks, eliminating low-quality signals and focusing on areas where institutional participation is likely present. The combination of price structure analysis and volume confirmation provides traders with high-probability zones that may attract future price action for tests, rejections, or breakouts.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Volume-Filtered Block Detection : Identifies only order blocks formed with significant volume, focusing on areas with institutional participation
Advanced Break of Structure Logic : Uses sophisticated price action analysis to detect legitimate market structure breaks preceding order blocks
Dynamic Block Management : Intelligently tracks, extends, and removes order blocks based on price interaction and time-based expiration
Structure Recognition System : Employs technical analysis algorithms to find significant swing points for accurate order block identification
Dual Directional Tracking : Simultaneously monitors both bullish and bearish order blocks for comprehensive market structure analysis
🔧 Core Components

Volume Filter
Volume Filter Enabled : Default: Enabled. When activated, only shows order blocks formed with significant volume relative to recent average.
Volume SMA Period : Default: 15, Range: 1-50. Number of periods used to calculate the average volume baseline.
Min. Volume Ratio : Default: 1.5, Range: 0.5-10.0. Minimum volume ratio compared to average required to display an order block; higher values filter out more blocks.
✅ Best Use Cases
Identifying high-probability support and resistance zones for trade entries and exits
Finding optimal stop-loss placement behind significant order blocks
Detecting potential reversal areas where price may react after extended moves
Confirming breakout trades when price clears major order blocks
Building a comprehensive market structure map for medium to long-term trading decisions
Pinpointing areas where smart money may have positioned before major market moves
⚠️ Limitations
Most effective on higher timeframes (1H and above) where institutional activity is more clearly defined
Can generate multiple signals in choppy market conditions, requiring additional filtering
Volume filtering relies on accurate volume data, which may be less reliable for some securities
Recent market structure changes may invalidate older order blocks not yet automatically removed
Block identification is based on historical price action and may not predict future behavior with certainty
💡 What Makes This Unique
Volume Intelligence : Unlike basic order block indicators, this script incorporates volume analysis to identify only the most significant institutional zones, focusing on quality over quantity.
Structural Precision : Uses sophisticated break of structure algorithms to identify true market turning points, going beyond simple price pattern recognition.
Dynamic Block Management : Implements automatic block tracking, extension, and cleanup to maintain a clean and relevant chart display without manual intervention.
Institutional Focus : Designed specifically to highlight areas where smart money has likely positioned, helping retail traders align with institutional perspectives rather than retail noise.
🔬 How It Works
1. Structure Identification Process :
The indicator continuously scans price action to identify significant swing points and structure levels within the specified range, establishing a foundation for order block recognition.
2. Break Detection :
When price breaks an established structure level (crossing below a significant low for bearish breaks or above a significant high for bullish breaks), the indicator marks this as a potential zone for order block formation.
3. Volume Qualification :
For each potential order block, the algorithm calculates the relative volume compared to the configured period average. Only blocks formed with volume exceeding the minimum ratio threshold are displayed.
4. Block Creation and Management :
Valid order blocks are created, tracked, and managed as price continues to develop. Blocks extend to the right of the chart until they are either mitigated by price action or expire after the designated timeframe.
5. Continuous Monitoring :
The indicator constantly evaluates price interaction with existing blocks, determining when blocks have been tested, mitigated, or invalidated, and updates the visual representation accordingly.
💡 Note:
Order Blocks represent areas where institutional traders have likely established positions and may defend these zones during future price visits. For optimal results, use this indicator in conjunction with other confluent factors such as key support/resistance levels, trendlines, or additional confirmation indicators. The most reliable signals typically occur on higher timeframes where institutional activity is most prominent. Start with the default settings and adjust parameters gradually to match your specific trading instrument and style.
FordOverview
The "Ford Trading Assistant" is an indicator crafted to support traders during the fast-paced New York trading session. This tool overlays a customizable table on your chart, delivering real-time insights from key market internals—NYSE and Nasdaq Advance/Decline (A/D), Volume Difference (VOLD), and TICK—alongside a unique Trend Score and actionable trading instructions.

Why It’s Original
The Ford Trading Assistant stands apart by integrating NYSE and Nasdaq internals into a unified, trader-friendly tool with a custom Trend Score and dynamic instructions. Rather than simply mashing up existing indicators, it offers a fresh approach to interpreting market momentum, enhanced by real-time signal detection and actionable guidance—making it a standout assistant for the New York session.
EMA Stack Strength MeterEMA Stack Strength Meter
The EMA Stack Strength Meter is a visual tool designed to help traders quickly assess trend strength and structure based on the alignment of multiple Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). This indicator uses a five-EMA stack (4, 8, 13, 21, 34) and displays a meter-style histogram that quantifies how strongly the EMAs are aligned in either a bullish or bearish configuration.
How It Works:
The script checks how many of the following conditions are true:
EMA 4 > EMA 8 > EMA 13 > EMA 21 > EMA 34 indicates a Bullish Stack
EMA 4 < EMA 8 < EMA 13 < EMA 21 < EMA 34 indicates a Bearish Stack
For each consecutive pair that satisfies the stack direction, a score is assigned (1 to 4).
These scores are plotted as color-coded horizontal bars:
Green bars at the top of the meter represent bullish stacking
Red bars at the bottom of the meter represent bearish stacking
No bars means EMAs are mixed or flat, suggesting a weak or choppy market
Mixed Bars (Both Bullish and Bearish Showing):
When both bullish and bearish bars appear at the same time, it means the EMAs are partially aligned in opposite directions. This reflects an unclear or transitioning trend. The market may be range-bound, choppy, or indecisive. During such phases, trend-following strategies may underperform, and caution is advised until a full alignment appears in either direction.
Use Cases:
Quickly gauge the trend structure without analyzing each EMA individually
Use it as a trend confirmation filter alongside trade entries
Avoid whipsaws during low-alignment or sideways conditions
Works across any timeframe or asset
All plot levels (Bullish 1 to 4 and Bearish 1 to 4) are always visible in the Style tab for easy customization.
This is a clean, non-overlay visual tool that pairs well with price action strategies, momentum indicators, or systems requiring trend confirmation.
Correlation Heatmap█ OVERVIEW
This indicator creates a correlation matrix for a user-specified list of symbols based on their time-aligned weekly or monthly price returns. It calculates the Pearson correlation coefficient for each possible symbol pair, and it displays the results in a symmetric table with heatmap-colored cells. This format provides an intuitive view of the linear relationships between various symbols' price movements over a specific time range.
█ CONCEPTS
Correlation
Correlation typically refers to an observable statistical relationship between two datasets. In a financial time series context, it usually represents the extent to which sampled values from a pair of datasets, such as two series of price returns, vary jointly over time. More specifically, in this context, correlation describes the strength and direction of the relationship between the samples from both series.
If two separate time series tend to rise and fall together proportionally, they might be highly correlated. Likewise, if the series often vary in opposite directions, they might have a strong anticorrelation . If the two series do not exhibit a clear relationship, they might be uncorrelated .
Traders frequently analyze asset correlations to help optimize portfolios, assess market behaviors, identify potential risks, and support trading decisions. For instance, correlation often plays a key role in diversification . When two instruments exhibit a strong correlation in their returns, it might indicate that buying or selling both carries elevated unsystematic risk . Therefore, traders often aim to create balanced portfolios of relatively uncorrelated or anticorrelated assets to help promote investment diversity and potentially offset some of the risks.
When using correlation analysis to support investment decisions, it is crucial to understand the following caveats:
• Correlation does not imply causation . Two assets might vary jointly over an analyzed range, resulting in high correlation or anticorrelation in their returns, but that does not indicate that either instrument directly influences the other. Joint variability between assets might occur because of shared sensitivities to external factors, such as interest rates or global sentiment, or it might be entirely coincidental. In other words, correlation does not provide sufficient information to identify cause-and-effect relationships.
• Correlation does not predict the future relationship between two assets. It only reflects the estimated strength and direction of the relationship between the current analyzed samples. Financial time series are ever-changing. A strong trend between two assets can weaken or reverse in the future.
Correlation coefficient
A correlation coefficient is a numeric measure of correlation. Several coefficients exist, each quantifying different types of relationships between two datasets. The most common and widely known measure is the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient , also known as the Pearson correlation coefficient or Pearson's r . Usually, when the term "correlation coefficient" is used without context, it refers to this correlation measure.
The Pearson correlation coefficient quantifies the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables. In other words, it indicates how consistently variables' values move together or in opposite directions in a proportional, linear manner. Its formula is as follows:
𝑟(𝑥, 𝑦) = cov(𝑥, 𝑦) / (𝜎𝑥 * 𝜎𝑦)
Where:
• 𝑥 is the first variable, and 𝑦 is the second variable.
• cov(𝑥, 𝑦) is the covariance between 𝑥 and 𝑦.
• 𝜎𝑥 is the standard deviation of 𝑥.
• 𝜎𝑦 is the standard deviation of 𝑦.
In essence, the correlation coefficient measures the covariance between two variables, normalized by the product of their standard deviations. The coefficient's value ranges from -1 to 1, allowing a more straightforward interpretation of the relationship between two datasets than what covariance alone provides:
• A value of 1 indicates a perfect positive correlation over the analyzed sample. As one variable's value changes, the other variable's value changes proportionally in the same direction .
• A value of -1 indicates a perfect negative correlation (anticorrelation). As one variable's value increases, the other variable's value decreases proportionally.
• A value of 0 indicates no linear relationship between the variables over the analyzed sample.
Aligning returns across instruments
In a financial time series, each data point (i.e., bar) in a sample represents information collected in periodic intervals. For instance, on a "1D" chart, bars form at specific times as successive days elapse.
However, the times of the data points for a symbol's standard dataset depend on its active sessions , and sessions vary across instrument types. For example, the daily session for NYSE stocks is 09:30 - 16:00 UTC-4/-5 on weekdays, Forex instruments have 24-hour sessions that span from 17:00 UTC-4/-5 on one weekday to 17:00 on the next, and new daily sessions for cryptocurrencies start at 00:00 UTC every day because crypto markets are consistently open.
Therefore, comparing the standard datasets for different asset types to identify correlations presents a challenge. If two symbols' datasets have bars that form at unaligned times, their correlation coefficient does not accurately describe their relationship. When calculating correlations between the returns for two assets, both datasets must maintain consistent time alignment in their values and cover identical ranges for meaningful results.
To address the issue of time alignment across instruments, this indicator requests confirmed weekly or monthly data from spread tickers constructed from the chart's ticker and another specified ticker. The datasets for spreads are derived from lower-timeframe data to ensure the values from all symbols come from aligned points in time, allowing a fair comparison between different instrument types. Additionally, each spread ticker ID includes necessary modifiers, such as extended hours and adjustments.
In this indicator, we use the following process to retrieve time-aligned returns for correlation calculations:
1. Request the current and previous prices from a spread representing the sum of the chart symbol and another symbol ( "chartSymbol + anotherSymbol" ).
2. Request the prices from another spread representing the difference between the two symbols ( "chartSymbol - anotherSymbol" ).
3. Calculate half of the difference between the values from both spreads ( 0.5 * (requestedSum - requestedDifference) ). The results represent the symbol's prices at times aligned with the sample points on the current chart.
4. Calculate the arithmetic return of the retrieved prices: (currentPrice - previousPrice) / previousPrice
5. Repeat steps 1-4 for each symbol requiring analysis.
It's crucial to note that because this process retrieves prices for a symbol at times consistent with periodic points on the current chart, the values can represent prices from before or after the closing time of the symbol's usual session.
Additionally, note that the maximum number of weeks or months in the correlation calculations depends on the chart's range and the largest time range common to all the requested symbols. To maximize the amount of data available for the calculations, we recommend setting the chart to use a daily or higher timeframe and specifying a chart symbol that covers a sufficient time range for your needs.
█ FEATURES
This indicator analyzes the correlations between several pairs of user-specified symbols to provide a structured, intuitive view of the relationships in their returns. Below are the indicator's key features:
Requesting a list of securities
The "Symbol list" text box in the indicator's "Settings/Inputs" tab accepts a comma-separated list of symbols or ticker identifiers with optional spaces (e.g., "XOM, MSFT, BITSTAMP:BTCUSD"). The indicator dynamically requests returns for each symbol in the list, then calculates the correlation between each pair of return series for its heatmap display.
Each item in the list must represent a valid symbol or ticker ID. If the list includes an invalid symbol, the script raises a runtime error.
To specify a broker/exchange for a symbol, include its name as a prefix with a colon in the "EXCHANGE:SYMBOL" format. If a symbol in the list does not specify an exchange prefix, the indicator selects the most commonly used exchange when requesting the data.
Note that the number of symbols allowed in the list depends on the user's plan. Users with non-professional plans can compare up to 20 symbols with this indicator, and users with professional plans can compare up to 32 symbols.
Timeframe and data length selection
The "Returns timeframe" input specifies whether the indicator uses weekly or monthly returns in its calculations. By default, its value is "1M", meaning the indicator analyzes monthly returns. Note that this script requires a chart timeframe lower than or equal to "1M". If the chart uses a higher timeframe, it causes a runtime error.
To customize the length of the data used in the correlation calculations, use the "Max periods" input. When enabled, the indicator limits the calculation window to the number of periods specified in the input field. Otherwise, it uses the chart's time range as the limit. The top-left corner of the table shows the number of confirmed weeks or months used in the calculations.
It's important to note that the number of confirmed periods in the correlation calculations is limited to the largest time range common to all the requested datasets, because a meaningful correlation matrix requires analyzing each symbol's returns under the same market conditions. Therefore, the correlation matrix can show different results for the same symbol pair if another listed symbol restricts the aligned data to a shorter time range.
Heatmap display
This indicator displays the correlations for each symbol pair in a heatmap-styled table representing a symmetric correlation matrix. Each row and column corresponds to a specific symbol, and the cells at their intersections correspond to symbol pairs . For example, the cell at the "AAPL" row and "MSFT" column shows the weekly or monthly correlation between those two symbols' returns. Likewise, the cell at the "MSFT" row and "AAPL" column shows the same value.
Note that the main diagonal cells in the display, where the row and column refer to the same symbol, all show a value of 1 because any series of non-na data is always perfectly correlated with itself.
The background of each correlation cell uses a gradient color based on the correlation value. By default, the gradient uses blue hues for positive correlation, orange hues for negative correlation, and white for no correlation. The intensity of each blue or orange hue corresponds to the strength of the measured correlation or anticorrelation. Users can customize the gradient's base colors using the inputs in the "Color gradient" section of the "Settings/Inputs" tab.
█ FOR Pine Script® CODERS
• This script uses the `getArrayFromString()` function from our ValueAtTime library to process the input list of symbols. The function splits the "string" value by its commas, then constructs an array of non-empty strings without leading or trailing whitespaces. Additionally, it uses the str.upper() function to convert each symbol's characters to uppercase.
• The script's `getAlignedReturns()` function requests time-aligned prices with two request.security() calls that use spread tickers based on the chart's symbol and another symbol. Then, it calculates the arithmetic return using the `changePercent()` function from the ta library. The `collectReturns()` function uses `getAlignedReturns()` within a loop and stores the data from each call within a matrix . The script calls the `arrayCorrelation()` function on pairs of rows from the returned matrix to calculate the correlation values.
• For consistency, the `getAlignedReturns()` function includes extended hours and dividend adjustment modifiers in its data requests. Additionally, it includes other settings inherited from the chart's context, such as "settlement-as-close" preferences.
• A Pine script can execute up to 40 or 64 unique `request.*()` function calls, depending on the user's plan. The maximum number of symbols this script compares is half the plan's limit, because `getAlignedReturns()` uses two request.security() calls.
• This script can use the request.security() function within a loop because all scripts in Pine v6 enable dynamic requests by default. Refer to the Dynamic requests section of the Other timeframes and data page to learn more about this feature, and see our v6 migration guide to learn what's new in Pine v6.
• The script's table uses two distinct color.from_gradient() calls in a switch structure to determine the cell colors for positive and negative correlation values. One call calculates the color for values from -1 to 0 based on the first and second input colors, and the other calculates the colors for values from 0 to 1 based on the second and third input colors.
