Composite Time ProfileComposite Time Profile Overlay (CTPO) - Market Profile Compositing Tool
Automatically composite multiple time periods to identify key areas of balance and market structure
What is the Composite Time Profile Overlay?
The Composite Time Profile Overlay (CTPO) is a Pine Script indicator that automatically composites multiple time periods to identify key areas of balance and market structure. It's designed for traders who use market profile concepts and need to quickly identify where price is likely to find support or resistance.
The indicator analyzes TPO (Time Price Opportunity) data across different timeframes and merges overlapping profiles to create composite levels that represent the most significant areas of balance. This helps you spot where institutional traders are likely to make decisions based on accumulated price action.
Why Use CTPO for Market Profile Trading?
Eliminate Manual Compositing Work
Instead of manually drawing and compositing profiles across different timeframes, CTPO does this automatically. You get instant access to composite levels without spending time analyzing each individual period.
Spot Areas of Balance Quickly
The indicator highlights the most significant areas of balance by compositing overlapping profiles. These areas often act as support and resistance levels because they represent where the most trading activity occurred across multiple time periods.
Focus on What Matters
Rather than getting lost in individual session profiles, CTPO shows you the composite levels that have been validated across multiple timeframes. This helps you focus on the levels that are most likely to hold.
How CTPO Works for Market Profile Traders
Automatic Profile Compositing
CTPO uses a proprietary algorithm that:
- Identifies period boundaries based on your selected timeframe (sessions, daily, weekly, monthly, or auto-detection)
- Calculates TPO profiles for each period using the C2M (Composite 2 Method) row sizing calculation
- Merges overlapping profiles using configurable overlap thresholds (default 50% overlap required)
- Updates composite levels as new price action develops in real-time
Key Levels for Market Profile Analysis
The indicator displays:
- Value Area High (VAH) and Value Area Low (VAL) levels calculated from composite TPO data
- Point of Control (POC) levels where most trading occurred across all composited periods
- Composite zones representing areas of balance with configurable transparency
- 1.618 Fibonacci extensions for breakout targets based on composite range
Multiple Timeframe Support
- Sessions: For intraday market profile analysis
- Daily: For swing trading with daily profiles
- Weekly: For position trading with weekly structure
- Monthly: For long-term market profile analysis
- Auto: Automatically selects timeframe based on your chart
Trading Applications for Market Profile Users
Support and Resistance Trading
Use composite levels as dynamic support and resistance zones. These levels often hold because they represent areas where significant trading decisions were made across multiple timeframes.
Breakout Trading
When composite levels break, they often lead to significant moves. The indicator calculates 1.618 Fibonacci extensions to give you clear targets for breakout trades.
Mean Reversion Strategies
Value Area levels represent the price range where most trading activity occurred. These levels often act as magnets, drawing price back when it moves too far from the mean.
Institutional Level Analysis
Composite levels represent areas where institutional traders have made significant decisions. These levels often hold more weight than traditional technical analysis levels because they're based on actual trading activity.
Key Features for Market Profile Traders
Smart Compositing Logic
- Automatic overlap detection using price range intersection algorithms
- Configurable overlap thresholds (minimum 50% overlap required for merging)

- Eliminates clutter from individual session profiles
- Focuses on areas of balance that matter most to current price action
Real-World Trading Examples
Day Trading with Session Composites
Use session-based composites to identify intraday areas of balance. The VAH and VAL levels often act as natural profit targets and stop-loss levels for scalping strategies.
Swing Trading with Daily Composites
Daily composites provide excellent swing trading levels. Look for price reactions at composite zones and use the 1.618 extensions for profit targets.
Position Trading with Weekly Composites
Weekly composites help identify major trend changes and long-term areas of balance. These levels often hold for months or even years.
Risk Management
Composite levels provide natural stop-loss levels. If a composite level breaks, it often signals a significant shift in market sentiment, making it an ideal place to exit losing positions.
Why Composite Levels Work
Composite levels work because they represent areas where significant trading decisions were made across multiple timeframes. When price returns to these levels, traders often remember the previous price action and make similar decisions, creating self-fulfilling prophecies.
The compositing process uses a proprietary algorithm that ensures only levels validated across multiple time periods are displayed. This means you're looking at levels that have proven their significance through actual market behavior, not just random technical levels.
Technical Foundation
The indicator uses TPO (Time Price Opportunity) data combined with price action analysis to identify areas of balance. The C2M row sizing method ensures accurate profile calculations, while the overlap detection algorithm (minimum 50% price range intersection) ensures only truly significant composites are displayed. The algorithm calculates row size based on ATR (Average True Range) divided by 10, then converts to tick size for precise level calculations.
How the Code Actually Works
1. Period Detection and ATR Calculation
The code first determines the appropriate timeframe based on your chart:
- 1m-5m charts: Session-based profiles
- 15m-2h charts: Daily profiles
- 4h charts: Weekly profiles
- 1D charts: Monthly profiles
For each period type, it calculates the number of bars needed for ATR calculation:
- Sessions: 540 minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Daily: 1440 minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Weekly: 7 days worth of minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Monthly: 30 days worth of minutes divided by chart timeframe
2. C2M Row Size Calculation
The code calculates True Range for each bar in the determined period:
- True Range = max(high-low, |high-prevClose|, |low-prevClose|)
- Averages all True Range values to get ATR
- Row Size = (ATR / 10) converted to tick size
- This ensures each TPO row represents a meaningful price movement
3. TPO Profile Generation
For each period, the code:
- Creates price levels from lowest to highest price in the range
- Each level is separated by the calculated row size
- Counts how many bars touch each price level (TPO count)
- Finds the level with highest count = Point of Control (POC)
- Calculates Value Area by expanding from POC until 68.27% of total TPO blocks are included
4. Overlap Detection Algorithm
When a new profile is created, the code checks if it overlaps with existing composites:
- Calculates overlap range = min(currentVAH, prevVAH) - max(currentVAL, prevVAL)
- Calculates current profile range = currentVAH - currentVAL
- Overlap percentage = (overlap range / current profile range) * 100
- If overlap >= 50%, profiles are merged into a composite
5. Composite Merging Logic
When profiles overlap, the code creates a new composite by:
- Taking the earliest start bar and latest end bar
- Using the wider VAH/VAL range (max of both profiles)
- Keeping the POC from the profile with more TPO blocks
- Marking the composite as "active" until price breaks through
6. Real-Time Updates
The code uses barstate.islast to optimize performance:
- Only recalculates on the last bar of each period
- Updates active composite with live price action if enabled
- Cleans up old composites to prevent memory issues
- Redraws all visual elements from scratch each bar
7. Visual Rendering System
The code uses arrays to manage drawing objects:
- Clears all lines/boxes arrays on every bar
- Iterates through composites array to redraw everything
- Uses different colors for active, broken, and dead composites
- Calculates 1.618 Fibonacci extensions for broken composites
Getting Started with CTPO
Step 1: Choose Your Timeframe
Select the period type that matches your trading style:
- Use "Sessions" for day trading
- Use "Daily" for swing trading
- Use "Weekly" for position trading
- Use "Auto" to let the indicator choose based on your chart timeframe
Step 2: Customize the Display
Adjust colors, transparency, and display options to match your charting preferences. The indicator offers extensive customization options to ensure it fits seamlessly into your existing analysis.
Step 3: Identify Key Levels
Look for:
- Composite zones (blue boxes) - major areas of balance
- VAH/VAL lines - value area boundaries
- POC lines - areas of highest trading activity
- 1.618 extension lines - breakout targets
Step 4: Develop Your Strategy
Use these levels to:
- Set entry points near composite zones
- Place stop losses beyond composite levels
- Take profits at 1.618 extension levels
- Identify trend changes when major composites break

Contract Interest Turnover T3 [T69]Overview
--------
Contract Interest Turnover (CIT) estimates how “churny” a crypto derivatives market is by comparing the amount traded in a bar to the base stock of outstanding contracts (open interest). It normalizes both Volume and Open Interest (OI) by Price (Close), then plots a Turnover Rate = (Volume/Close) ÷ (OI/Close) as colored columns. Higher values = faster contract recycling (strong momentum / hype potential).
Features
--------
- Auto-fetch OI: Pulls OI via request.security(_OI, …) when the exchange/symbol exposes an OI stream on TradingView.
- Price-normalized comparison: Converts both Volume and OI into comparable notional terms by dividing each by Close.
- Turnover columns with threshold: Color the columns green once Turnover ≥ your set threshold; gray otherwise.
- Status-line readouts: Displays normalized Volume and OI values for quick sanity checks.
- Crypto-aware timeframe: Uses chart TF for crypto; forces daily OI when not crypto to avoid noisy intraday pulls.
How to Use
----------
1. Add the script on a perpetual/futures symbol that has OI on TradingView (e.g., BTC perps where an _OI feed exists).
2. Watch the Turnover Rate bars: spikes above your threshold flag sessions where contracts are actively flipping.
3. Interpret spikes as a signal of movement or activity — it does not specify price direction, only that the market is engaged and contracts are being traded more intensely than usual.
Configuration
-------------
- Interest Turnover Threshold (default 1.0): colors columns green when Turnover ≥ threshold. Tune per market’s typical churn profile.
Under the Hood (Formulas & Logic)
---------------------------------
- Fetch OI
oiClose ← request.security(ticker.standard(syminfo.tickerid) + "_OI", timeframe, close) with ignore_invalid_symbol = true.
If none is found, the script throws a clear runtime error.
- Normalize to price
vol_norm = volume / close
oi_norm = oiClose / close
This converts both to a common notional basis so their ratio is meaningful even as price changes.
- Turnover Rate
turnover = vol_norm / oi_norm
Interpretation: fraction/multiples of the outstanding contract base traded in the bar. Color = green if turnover ≥ threshold.
Why Open Interest ≈ “Float” Proxy
---------------------------------
In stocks, float ≈ shares the public can trade. In derivatives, there are no “shares,” so Open Interest acts as the live stock of active contracts. It’s the best proxy for “what’s available in play” because it counts open positions that persist across bars. Using Volume ÷ OI mirrors stock float-turnover logic: how fast the tradable base is being recycled each period.
Why Normalize by Price
----------------------
Derivatives volume and OI may be reported in contracts, not notional value. One contract’s economic weight changes with price (especially on inverse contracts). Dividing both Volume and OI by Close:
- Puts them on a comparable notional footing.
- Prevents false spikes purely from price moves.
- Makes Turnover comparable across time even as price trends.
Advanced Tips
-------------
- Calibrate threshold: Start from the 80th–90th percentile of the last 60–90 bars of Turnover; set the threshold a touch below that to surface early heat.
- Add OI-delta: Layer an OI change histogram (current − prior) to separate new positioning from pure churn.
- Linear vs inverse: For linear (USDT-margined) contracts, the normalization still works and keeps visuals consistent; for inverse, it’s essential.
Limitations
-----------
- Data availability: Works only if your symbol exposes an _OI feed on TradingView; otherwise it errors out.
- Exchange conventions: Volume units differ by venue (contracts, coin, notional). Normalization mitigates, but cross-symbol comparisons still need caution.
- Intrabar gaps: OI is typically end-of-bar; rapid intrabar shifts won’t appear until the bar closes.
Notes
-----
- Designed primarily for crypto derivatives. For non-crypto, the script blanks OI to avoid misleading plots and uses a daily TF when needed.

[LTS] LHAMA Consolidation Detector ProLHAMA Consolidation Detector Pro
The LHAMA (Low-High Adaptive Moving Average) Consolidation Detector Pro is an advanced technical analysis tool that displays up to 6 adaptive moving averages with automatic slope detection and visual consolidation identification. This indicator helps traders identify trending versus sideways market conditions across multiple timeframes simultaneously.
What is LHAMA?
LHAMA (pronounced "llama" 🦙) is an adaptive moving average that responds dynamically to market conditions by monitoring when price breaks above recent highs or below recent lows. Unlike traditional moving averages that use fixed smoothing factors, LHAMA increases its responsiveness during trending periods and becomes more stable during consolidation phases.
Key Features:
Up to 6 independent LHAMA lines with customizable parameters
Multi-timeframe analysis - each line can use different timeframes
Automatic slope detection and normalization (works across all instruments without manual adjustment)
Dynamic color coding: bullish (uptrend), bearish (downtrend), and flat (consolidation) states
Optional volume weighting for increased responsiveness during high-volume periods
Daily reset functionality to handle overnight gaps (useful for futures markets)
Optional cloud display around each LHAMA line for enhanced visual clarity
Optimized performance - disabled lines consume zero computational resources
How to Use:
Trend Identification: Easily identify when a move is significant by checking the color of the LHAMA line
Consolidation Detection: Even if price seems to be moving in a trend, the LHAMA line can help you determine if it is meaningful movement or just noise.
Multiple Timeframe Analysis: Enable multiple LHAMA lines with different lengths and timeframes to see trend alignment
Support/Resistance: LHAMA lines often act as dynamic support and resistance levels
Settings Explanation:
Length: Period for LHAMA calculation (shorter = more responsive, longer = smoother)
Volume Weight: Makes LHAMA more responsive during high volume periods
Color Sensitivity: Global setting that determines how quickly colors change based on slope angle. This lets you choose just how flat a "flat" line actually is.
Daily Reset: Optionally resets LHAMA to current price at specified time to avoid drift during session gaps.
Cloud Display: Shows volatility-based bands around LHAMA lines using ATR or Standard Deviation
Timeframe: Each LHAMA line can analyze a different timeframe independently.
Colors: Each LHAMA line can be customized with its own distinct colors for clean, easy visuals.
Technical Details:
The indicator uses a proprietary adaptive algorithm that:
Monitors price breakouts
Applies volume weighting when enabled
Uses slope normalization for consistent performance across all instruments
Implements efficient conditional processing to minimize computational overhead
Color Logic:
The slope detection system calculates a normalized angle of the LHAMA line. This ensures consistent color behavior whether trading stocks, forex, crypto, or futures without requiring the manual sensitivity adjustments of the basic version of this indicator.
Angles less than 5 degrees (default) are considered "flat" (consolidation)
Steeper angles transition smoothly between flat and trend colors
The Sensitivity and Length settings allow fine-tuning for different trading styles
Best Practices:
Start with LHAMA 1 enabled using default settings to understand the indicator
Enable volatility bands to help determine possible TP/SL placement
Use multiple LHAMA lines with different lengths (e.g., 14, 34, 89) or time frames for comprehensive analysis
Combine with other technical analysis tools for confirmation
Adjust the Color Sensitivity setting based on your preferred responsiveness
Enable Daily Reset for instruments with significant overnight gaps
This indicator is suitable for all markets and timeframes, providing traders with a sophisticated tool for identifying market structure and potential trading opportunities through advanced adaptive moving average technology.
CandelaCharts - Z-Deviation Waves 📝 Overview
Volatility feels chaotic until you anchor it to statistics—then “stretch” and “snap-back” become measurable.
The CandelaCharts – Z-Deviation Waves turns your price source into a rolling Z-score (distance from its mean in standard deviations) and visualizes it as a color-graded wave with optional trend columns and labeled sigma lines. You can label pure σ levels, show the price at σ , or use a fixed “Price @ Z” grid for consistent visuals.
📦 Features
Designed to spotlight statistical extremes and make them tradable.
Rolling Z-score : Mean + stdev over a configurable window, with optional smoothing.
Three label modes :
Z-score (σ) — classic −3σ…+3σ lines/labels.
Price @ σ — converts each σ level into the live price.
Price @ Z — maps Z to a fixed numeric grid for legacy/visual consistency.
Trend columns : Subtle columns behind the wave to show rising vs. falling Z.
Gradient wave : Blue→orange scale tied to Z intensity (−3…+3).
Quick table : Optional on-chart prices for −1σ / −2σ / −3σ.
Polish : Font family/size controls and branding toggle.
⚙️ Settings
Pick your statistical lens, then choose how to display it.
Period : Rolling window for mean & stdev.
Source : Price input (Close by default).
Text Size : Label size for σ lines.
Smoothing (Z) : SMA on Z to calm noise.
Label Mode : Z-score (σ) / Price @ σ / Price @ Z.
Show Trend Columns : Rising/falling backdrop.
Show −2σ/−3σ Table : Quick downside prices (σ mode).
⚡️ Showcase
Mean-reversion extremes : Tag touches beyond ±2σ and subsequent reversions.
Price @ σ ladder : Show live price equivalents for −1σ/−2σ/−3σ as dynamic supports.
Smoothing on/off : Compare Z with smoothing 1 vs. 5 to demonstrate noise control.
📒 Usage
Treat σ as a “stretch gauge,” then layer your entries with structure and risk rules.
Read the tiers :
±1σ — routine fluctuation.
±2σ — statistically significant; watch for exhaustion or follow-through.
±3σ — extreme; look for mean-reversion triggers or parabolic blow-off risk.
Price @ σ for levels : Use −1σ/−2σ as dynamic pullback/mean targets; +1σ/+2σ as potential resistance in downtrends.
Trend columns as timing : Fade extremes only when Z momentum stalls (columns stop rising against you).
Calibrate window : Shorter Period = faster, noisier signals; longer = steadier, fewer extremes.
Confluence : Pair with RSI/MACD divergence or key S/R for higher-quality reversions.
🚨 Alerts
There are no built-in alerts; add simple manual ones.
Crosses of ±1σ / ±2σ / ±3σ (plot value vs. horizontal lines).
Z turning down after tagging +2σ/+3σ (or turning up after −2σ/−3σ ).
Re-entry into the −1σ…+1σ band after an extreme (cool-down).

Penguin Volatility State StrategyThe Penguin Volatility State Strategy is a comprehensive technical analysis framework designed to identify the underlying "state" or "regime" of the market. Instead of just providing simple buy or sell signals, its primary goal is to classify the market into one of four distinct states by combining trend, momentum, and volatility analysis.
The core idea is to trade only when these three elements align, focusing on periods of volatility expansion (a "squeeze breakout") that occur in the direction of a confirmed trend and are supported by strong momentum.
Key Components
The strategy is built upon two main engines
The Volatility Engine (Bollinger Bands vs. Keltner Channels)
This engine detects periods of rapidly increasing volatility. It measures the percentage difference (diff) between the upper bands of Bollinger Bands (which are based on standard deviation) and Keltner Channels (based on Average True Range). During a volatility "squeeze," both bands are close. When price breaks out, the Bollinger Band expands much faster than the Keltner Channel, causing the diff value to become positive. A positive diff signals a volatility breakout, which is the moment the strategy becomes active.
The Trend & Momentum Engine (Multi-EMA System)
This engine determines the market's direction and strength. It uses:
A Fast EMA (e.g., 12-period) and a Slow EMA (e.g., 26-period): The crossover of these two moving averages defines the primary, underlying trend (similar to a MACD).
An Ultra-Fast EMA (e.g., 2-period of ohlc4): This is used to measure the immediate, short-term momentum of the price.
The Four Market States
By combining the Trend and Momentum engines, the strategy categorizes the market into four visually distinct states, represented by the chart's background color. This is the most crucial aspect of the system.
💚 Green State: Strong Bullish
The primary trend is UP (Fast EMA > Slow EMA) AND the immediate momentum is STRONG (Price > Fast EMA).
Interpretation: This represents a healthy, robust uptrend where both the underlying trend and short-term price action are aligned. It is considered the safest condition for taking long positions.
❤️ Red State: Strong Bearish
Condition: The primary trend is DOWN (Fast EMA < Slow EMA) AND the immediate momentum is WEAK (Price < Fast EMA).
Interpretation: This represents a strong, confirmed downtrend. It is considered the safest condition for taking short positions.
💛 Yellow State: Weakening Bullish / Pullback
Condition: The primary trend is UP (Fast EMA > Slow EMA) BUT the immediate momentum is WEAK (Price < Fast EMA).
Interpretation: This is a critical warning signal for bulls. While the larger trend is still up, the short-term price action is showing weakness. This could be a minor pullback, a period of consolidation, or the very beginning of a trend reversal. Caution is advised.
💙 Blue State: Weakening Bearish / Relief Rally
Condition: The primary trend is DOWN (Fast EMA < Slow EMA) BUT the immediate momentum is STRONG (Price > Fast EMA).
Interpretation: This signals that a downtrend is losing steam. It often represents a short-covering rally (a "bear market rally") or the first potential sign of a market bottom. Bears should be cautious and consider taking profits.
How the Strategy Functions
The strategy uses these four states as its foundation for making trading decisions. The entry and exit arrows (Long, Short, Close) are generated based on a set of rules that can be customized by the user. For instance, a trader can configure the strategy to
Only take long trades during the Green State.
Require a confirmed volatility breakout (diff > 0) before entering a trade.
Use the "RSI on Diff" indicator to ensure that the breakout is supported by accelerating momentum.
Summary
In essence, the Penguin Volatility State Strategy provides a powerful "dashboard" for viewing the market. It moves beyond simple indicators to offer a contextual understanding of price action. By waiting for the alignment of Trend (the State), Volatility (the Breakout), and Momentum (the Acceleration), it helps traders to identify higher-probability setups and, just as importantly, to know when it is better to stay out of the market.

APC – Anti-Analysis-Paralysis Kompass APC – Anti-Analysis-Paralysis Compass (Pine v5).
Research/education indicator that compresses trend from 5 timeframes into one compass with Direction, Score, and Coherence (TF agreement). Non-repainting with a high-contrast breakdown table and in-chart help. No financial advice.
What it is
APC is a research/education tool that condenses trend information from five timeframes into a single compass. It shows Direction (↑/↓/→), a weighted Score, and Coherence (how strongly timeframes agree). The script is non-repainting (security(..., lookahead=off)) and includes a readable breakdown panel and example alerts.
How it works
• For each timeframe APC fits a linear regression to price, measures the slope change over k bars, optionally normalizes by ATR%, then maps it to +1 / 0 / −1 using a Deadzone (small slopes → neutral).
• A (weighted) sum of the five signs forms the Score.
• Coherence = |Score| / maxScore (0–100%), i.e., degree of TF alignment.
Quick start (suggested defaults)
• Timeframes: 15m · 1h · 4h · 1D · 1W • Weights: 1, 1, 1, 1.5, 2
• LinReg length: 100 • Slope Δ window: 10
• ATR normalization: ON • Deadzone: 0.03–0.05
• Coherence lock (for example alerts): 60%
Example research filters (non-advisory)
Many users test: Bullish bias when Score ≥ +3 and Coherence ≥ 60%; bearish bias when Score ≤ −3 and Coherence ≥ 60%. These are illustrative defaults only—configure and test your own thresholds.
Optional: pair with Kagi
Use APC for bias/conviction and Kagi turns for timing. Typical Kagi (swing): base 15m–1h, reversal ATR(14) × 1.5–2.5 or 1–3%.
Notes
Raise Deadzone in choppy markets; lower it for earlier flips. On very illiquid or young symbols, lengthen lenLR.

VWAP Trend Strategy (Intraday) [KedarArc Quant]Description:
An intraday strategy that anchors to VWAP and only trades when a local EMA trend gate and a volume participation gate are both open. It offers two entry templates—Cross and Cross-and-Retest—with an optional Momentum Exception for impulsive moves. Exits combine a TrendBreak (structure flips) with an ATR emergency stop (risk cap).
Updates will be published under this script.
Why this merits a new script
This is not a simple “VWAP + EMA + ATR” overlay. The components are sequenced as gates and branches that *change the trade set* in ways a visual mashup cannot:
1. Trend Gate first (EMA fast vs. slow on the entry timeframe)
Counter-trend VWAP crosses are suppressed. Many VWAP scripts fire on every cross; here, no entry logic even evaluates unless the trend gate is open.
2. Participation Gate second (Volume SMA × multiplier)
This gate filters thin liquidity moves around VWAP. Without it, the same visuals would produce materially more false triggers.
3. Branching entries with structure awareness
* Cross: Immediate VWAP cross in the trend direction.
* Cross-and-Retest: Requires a revisit to VWAP vicinity within a lookback window (recent low near VWAP for longs; recent high for shorts). This explicitly removes first-touch fakeouts that a plain cross takes.
* Momentum Exception (optional): A quantified body% + volume condition can bypass the retest when flow is impulsive—intentional risk-timing, not “just another indicator.”
4. Dual exits that reference both anchor and structure
* TrendBreak: Close only when price loses VWAP and EMA alignment flips.
* ATR stop: Placed at entry to cap tail risk.
These exits complement the entry structure rather than being generic stop/target add-ons.
What it does
* Trades the session’s fair value anchor (VWAP), but only with local-trend agreement (EMA fast vs. slow) and sufficient participation (volume filter).
* Lets you pick Cross or Cross-and-Retest entries; optionally allow a fast Momentum Exception when candles expand with volume.
* Manages positions with a structure exit (TrendBreak) and an emergency ATR stop from entry.
How it works (concepts & calculations)
* VWAP (session anchor):
Standard VWAP of the active session; entries reference the cross and the retest proximity to VWAP.
* Trend gate:
Long context only if `EMA(fast) > EMA(slow)`; short only if `EMA(fast) < EMA(slow)`.
A *gate*, not a trigger—entries aren’t considered unless this is true.
* Participation (volume) gate:
Require `volume > SMA(volume, volLen) × volMult`.
Screens out low-participation wiggles around VWAP.
Entries:
* Cross: Price crosses VWAP in the trend direction while volume gate is open.
* Cross-and-Retest: After crossing, price revisits VWAP vicinity within `lookback` (recent *low near VWAP* for longs; recent *high near VWAP* for shorts).
* Momentum Exception (optional): If body% (|close−open| / range) and volume exceed thresholds, enter without waiting for the retest.
Exits:
* TrendBreak (structure):
* Longs close when `price < VWAP` and `EMA(fast) < EMA(slow)` (mirror for shorts).
* ATR stop (risk):
* From entry: `stop = entry ± ATR(atrLen) × atrMult`.
How to use it ?
1. Select market & timeframe: Intraday on liquid symbols (equities, futures, crypto).
2. Pick entry mode:
* Start with Cross-and-Retest for fewer, more selective signals.
* Enable Momentum Exception if strong moves leave without retesting.
3. Tune guards:
* Raise `volMult` to ignore thin periods; lower it for more activity.
* Adjust `lookback` if retests come late/early on your symbol.
4. Risk:
* `atrLen` and `atrMult` set the emergency stop distance.
5. Read results per session: Optional panel (if enabled) summarizes Net-R, Win%, and PF for today’s session to evaluate
behavior regime by regime.

Volatility Cone Forecaster Lite [PhenLabs]📊 Volatility Cone Forecaster
Version: PineScript™v6
📌Description
The Volatility Cone Forecaster (VCF) is an advanced indicator designed to provide traders with a forward-looking perspective on market volatility. Instead of merely measuring past price fluctuations, the VCF analyzes historical volatility data to project a statistical “cone” that outlines a probable range for future price movements. Its core purpose is to contextualize the current market environment, helping traders to anticipate potential shifts from low to high volatility periods (and vice versa). By identifying whether volatility is expanding or contracting relative to historical norms, it solves the critical problem of preparing for significant market moves before they happen, offering a clear statistical edge in strategy development.
This indicator moves beyond lagging measures by employing percentile analysis to rank the current volatility state. This allows traders to understand not just what volatility is, but how significant it is compared to the recent past. The VCF is built for discretionary traders, system developers, and options strategists who need a sophisticated understanding of market dynamics to manage risk and identify high-probability opportunities.
🚀Points of Innovation
Forward-Looking Volatility Projection: Unlike standard indicators that only show historical data, the VCF projects a statistical cone of future volatility.
Percentile-Based Regime Analysis: Ranks current volatility against historical data (e.g., 90th, 75th percentiles) to provide objective context.
Automated Regime Detection: Automatically identifies and labels the market as being in a ‘High’, ‘Low’, or ‘Normal’ volatility regime.
Expansion & Contraction Signals: Clearly indicates whether volatility is currently increasing or decreasing, signaling shifts in market energy.
Integrated ATR Comparison: Plots an ATR-equivalent volatility measure to offer a familiar point of reference against the statistical model.
Dynamic Visual Modeling: The cone visualization directly on the price chart provides an intuitive guide for future expected price ranges.
🔧Core Components
Realized Volatility Engine: Calculates historical volatility using log returns over multiple user-defined lookback periods (short, medium, long) for a comprehensive view.
Percentile Analysis Module: A custom function calculates the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles of volatility over a long-term lookback (e.g., 252 days).
Forward Projection Calculator: Uses the calculated volatility percentiles to mathematically derive and draw the upper and lower bounds of the future volatility cone.
Volatility Regime Classifier: A logic-based system that compares current volatility to the historical percentile bands to classify the market state.
🔥Key Features
Customizable Lookback Periods: Adjust short, medium, and long-term lookbacks to fine-tune the indicator’s sensitivity to different market cycles.
Configurable Forward Projection: Set the number of days for the forward cone projection to align with your specific trading horizon.
Interactive Display Options: Toggle visibility for percentile labels, ATR levels, and regime coloring to customize the chart display.
Data-Rich Information Table: A clean, on-screen table displays all key metrics, including current volatility, percentile rank, regime, and trend.
Built-in Alert Conditions: Set alerts for critical events like volatility crossing the 90th percentile, dropping below the 10th, or switching between expansion and contraction.
🎨Visualization
Volatility Cone: Shaded bands projected onto the future price axis, representing the probable price range at different statistical confidence levels (e.g., 75th-90th percentile).
Color-Coded Volatility Line: The primary volatility plot dynamically changes color (e.g., red for high, green for low) to reflect the current volatility regime, providing instant context.
Historical Percentile Bands: Horizontal lines plotted across the indicator pane mark the key percentile levels, showing how current volatility compares to the past.
On-Chart Labels: Clear labels automatically display the current volatility reading, its percentile rank, the detected regime, and trend (Expanding/Contracting).
📖Usage Guidelines
Setting Categories
Short-term Lookback: Default: 10, Range: 5-50. Controls the most sensitive volatility calculation.
Medium-term Lookback: Default: 21, Range: 10-100. The primary input for the current volatility reading.
Long-term Lookback: Default: 63, Range: 30-252. Provides a baseline for long-term market character.
Percentile Lookback Period: Default: 252, Range: 100-1000. Defines the period for historical ranking; 252 represents one trading year.
Forward Projection Days: Default: 21, Range: 5-63. Determines how many bars into the future the cone is projected.
✅Best Use Cases
Breakout Trading: Identify periods of deep consolidation when volatility falls to low percentile ranks (e.g., below 25th) and begins to expand, signaling a potential breakout.
Mean Reversion Strategies: Target trades when volatility reaches extreme high percentile ranks (e.g., above 90th), as these periods are often unsustainable and lead to contraction.
Options Strategy: Use the cone’s projected upper and lower bounds to help select strike prices for strategies like iron condors or straddles.
Risk Management: Widen stop-losses and reduce position sizes when the indicator signals a transition into a ‘High’ volatility regime.
⚠️Limitations
Probabilistic, Not Predictive: The cone represents a statistical probability, not a guarantee of future price action. Extreme, unpredictable news events can drive prices outside the cone.
Lagging by Nature: All calculations are based on historical price data, meaning the indicator will always react to, not pre-empt, market changes.
Non-Directional: The indicator forecasts the *magnitude* of future moves, not the *direction*. It should be paired with a directional analysis tool.
💡What Makes This Unique
Forward Projection: Its primary distinction is projecting a data-driven, statistical forecast of future volatility, which standard oscillators do not do.
Contextual Analysis: It doesn’t just provide a number; it tells you what that number means through percentile ranking and automated regime classification.
🔬How It Works
1. Data Calculation:
The indicator first calculates the logarithmic returns of the asset’s price. It then computes the annualized standard deviation of these returns over short, medium, and long-term lookback periods to generate realized volatility readings.
2. Percentile Ranking:
Using a 252-day lookback, it analyzes the history of the medium-term volatility and determines the values that correspond to the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles. This builds a statistical map of the asset’s volatility behavior.
3. Cone Projection:
Finally, it takes these historical percentile values and projects them forward in time, calculating the potential upper and lower price bounds based on what would happen if volatility were to run at those levels over the next 21 days.
💡Note:
The Volatility Cone Forecaster is most effective on daily and weekly charts where statistical volatility models are more reliable. For lower timeframes, consider shortening the lookback periods. Always use this indicator as part of a comprehensive trading plan that includes other forms of analysis.
Sigma Reversal Print [FxScripts]Indicator Overview
The Sigma Reversal Print is a powerful tool designed for traders who like to trade reversal strategies plus trend traders looking to enter on strong pullbacks. It integrates advanced price action with volume analysis, highlighting areas where a trend reversal or pullback may be in progress, providing insights into where markets may be exhausted or about to surge.
Key Features and Functionality
Reversal Trading: Tailored primarily for reversal traders, the Sigma Reversal Print highlights zones where the market is likely to change direction. While this approach offers significant potential, it inherently carries a degree of risk due to the precision required in predicting market turning points. The Sigma Reversal Print uses advanced methodology to forecast such reversals with a high degree of accuracy.
Signal Generation Based on Reversal and Pullback Zones: The Reversal Print generates signals when price enters specific conditions, representing exhaustion followed by a change in order flow. These conditions allow the indicator to filter out low-probability signals and focus on those with higher potential for a trend change.
Settings
Sensitivity Control: The sensitivity setting allows traders to adjust the strength of the pattern required for a signal to be generated. The scale ranges from 2-10 with higher sensitivity demanding more confirmation, leading to fewer, generally more reliable, signals however backtesting is highly recommended. Adjusting the sensitivity enables traders to balance early entries with signal accuracy, accommodating both aggressive and more conservative strategies.
Customizable Length: The length setting allows users to fine-tune the calculation period, adjusting the indicator’s responsiveness to overall market conditions. Adjusting length allows the Reversal Print to adapt to the user’s trading style and timeframe of choice. Similar to the sensitivity control, the scale ranges from 2-10 with a higher length demanding more confirmation. This can lead to fewer, often more reliable, signals however, once again, backtesting is highly recommended.
Advanced Filters
Opening Gap Filter: Turning this on allows the system to avoid painting false signals that can be triggered by the daily or weekly opening gap at market open. This setting is toggled on by default.
Price Filter: This filter applies an additional weighted price action algorithm to the signal being painted thus further filtering out weaker signals. Warning dots will still paint however the larger break arrow will no longer paint if the filter is triggered. This setting is toggled on by default.
Volume Filter: This filters out low volume entries which have a lower probability of turning into successful trades. Variable from 1-10 with 1 being the most lenient and 10 the most stringent. Warning dots will still paint however the larger break arrow will no longer paint if the filter is triggered. This setting is toggled on by default.
Alerts
Configure alerts and receive notifications when the first warning dot in a sequence appears (the series of dots seen on the chart) and again when a breakpoint is triggered (the larger arrow on the chart). This feature is particularly beneficial for traders who like to monitor multiple instruments or prefer not to stare at a screen all day.
Performance and Optimization
Backtesting Results: The Reversal Print has undergone extensive backtesting across various instruments, timeframes and market conditions, demonstrating strong performance in identifying reversal points, particularly during volatile or overextended price movements. User backtesting is strongly encouraged as it allows traders to optimize settings for their preferred instruments and timeframes.
Optimization for Diverse Markets: The Reversal Print can be used on crypto, forex, indices, commodities or stocks. The Reversal Print's algorithmic foundation ensures consistent performance across a variety of instruments. Key settings such as Sensitivity and Length will require adjustment based on the volatility and characteristics of each market.
Educational Resources and Support
Users of the Sigma Reversal Print benefit from comprehensive educational resources and full access to FxScripts Support. This ensures traders can maximize the potential of the Reversal Print and other tools in the Sigma Indicator Suite by learning best practices and gaining insights from an experienced team of traders.
Summary
The Reversal Print is a powerful and adaptable tool for reversal and pullback traders, combining statistical analysis and price action to identify high-probability turning points. Its advanced customization options, flexible controls and integration with the Sigma Indicator Suite offer significant advantages over standard indicators. By pinpointing precise entry points, the Reversal Print enables traders to make informed trading decisions with confidence.

7Lots v27Lots strategy
The strategy is a counter-trend with a return to the moving average. Based on the DCA strategy, but greatly simplified to 7 lots (limit orders) and using the default martingale x2.5
Strategy description
Two moving averages are used. The first MA can be used as a filter for opening a position and also closing if the second MA is disabled. If both are enabled, then the position is closed by the second MA, and the first is used as a filter. There is also a separate take profit and if the price does not reach it, the position will be closed when returning to the MA, which will act as a stop loss, but the risk of liquidation is still present since the strategy does not have a regular classic stop loss.
Main parameters
TP & SL - selection of closing a position only by MA or take profit + MA. If only MA is selected, the strategy ignores the take profit value and always closes the position by MA.
MA settings
MA length from 1 to 200
Sliding type ALMA, SMA, EMA, VWMA, WMA, RMA
MA data - Open, High, Low, Close, HL2, HL3, OHLC4, OC2
MA shift in %. The MA shift is set in % above or below the current prices. For the First MA, this function allows you to use it as a filter for opening a position. For example, if you specify a shift much lower, for example -1% or -2%, then there will be less noise for opening a position, but this affects the number of transactions.
DCA group settings
Take profit %. Set the take profit as usual, but if the price does not reach the take profit, then the closing will occur by MA when the price returns to its values.
Take profit from. There is a choice of take profit from the average position, or by closing the previous bar. The latter increases the profit factor, but also increases the risk of liquidation if the strategy is used on perpetual contracts or futures.
Position Entry % - specifies the condition for opening a position. 0% - opening will occur immediately. 2% - opening will occur when the price falls 2% below the bar closing if the Long mode is set. If Short, then vice versa.
Grid Scale - classic progressive grid step
Next comes the setup of lots as a percentage of the deposit. Simply specify how many percent of each lot will be used from the total deposit. By default, a percentage for each lot is already allocated according to Martingale with a multiplier of x2.5, but you can calculate your own. You can specify 0, then the lot will be disabled.
Leverage. By default, 1.
Extra lot. This is the 7th lot that I decided to allocate separately from the main grid, since it is not always really needed. And it is calculated from the last lot of the grid. You can set it to how much lower percentage of the last lot to set it for and also what percentage of the deposit it will use. If you trade futures, then this lot, as an auxiliary one, can greatly average the position in case of strong volatility in the market.
Next, you can specify the start and end dates of transactions.
The table displays the total percentage of the deposit involved in trading at the moment. By default, all lots and leverage are set to 100% deposit load. The table also shows the number of transactions of the last 5-6 lots and extra, so that you can understand how many of them there were throughout the history of trading and possibly draw some conclusions for yourself. Especially useful for extra lots. Max Historical Drawdown (%) shows the historical price drop at the moment from the average open position. This will make it possible to analyze what leverage this strategy could withstand over the entire trading history. The date of this drop is also indicated.
For novice traders, it is recommended to use only on spot without the risk of liquidation. It is also best to use large time frames to see the whole picture, but you can also use a minute chart, there are no restrictions, everything is in your hands.
Tips. If you use minute charts, it is better to greatly increase the length of the MA from 20 and above. Hourly charts from 1-7. It is better to set up on spot and if you need futures, then use the same settings from spot, but with correction for futures. This strategy does not work well in Short, but shows excellent results for Long even when the market falls. When selecting settings, take into account sharp market fluctuations, Max Historical Drawdown (%) will show you this information in the table. You need to set up from the first MA, when you set up for the best result, then turn on the second MA and transfer the settings of the first MA to the second. Then fine-tune both MAs. The results can increase significantly, but this is not always the case. Sometimes just one MA is enough
The strategy is paid, tested with my own experience and money since 2022. Own development for opening a position.
Custom Time Range HighlightThis indicator highlights specific time ranges on your TradingView chart with customizable background colors and labels, making it easier to identify key trading sessions and ICT (Inner Circle Trader) Killzones. It is designed for traders who want to mark important market hours, such as major sessions (Asia, New York, London) or high-volatility Killzones, with full control over activation, timing, colors, and transparency.
Features
Customizable Time Ranges: Define up to 9 different time ranges, including one custom range, three major market sessions (Asia, New York, London), and five ICT Killzones (Asia, NY Open, NY Close, London Open, London Close).
Individual Activation: Enable or disable each time range independently via checkboxes in the settings. By default, only the ICT Killzones are active.
Custom Colors and Transparency: Set unique background and label colors for each range, with adjustable transparency for both.
Labeled Time Ranges: Each active range is marked with a customizable label at the start of the period, displayed above the chart for easy identification.
Priority Handling: If multiple ranges overlap, the range with the higher number (e.g., Asia Killzone over Custom Range) determines the background color.
CET Time Zone: Time ranges are based on Central European Time (CET, Europe/Vienna). Adjust the hours and minutes to match your trading needs.
Settings
The indicator settings are organized into three groups for clarity:
Custom Range: A flexible range (default: 15:30–18:00 CET) for user-defined periods.
Session - Asia, NY, London: Major market sessions (Asia: 01:00–10:00, New York: 14:00–23:00, London: 09:00–18:00 CET).
ICT Killzones - Asia, NY, London: High-volatility periods (NY Open: 13:00–16:00, NY Close: 20:00–23:00, London Open: 08:00–11:00, London Close: 16:00–18:00, Asia: 02:00–05:00 CET).
For each range, you can:
Toggle activation (default: only ICT Killzones enabled).
Adjust start and end times (hours and minutes).
Customize the label text.
Choose background and label colors with transparency levels (0–100).
How to Use
Add the indicator to your chart.
Open the settings to enable/disable specific ranges, adjust their times, or customize colors and labels.
The chart will highlight active time ranges with the selected background colors and display labels at the start of each range.
Use it to focus on key trading periods, such as ICT Killzones for high-probability setups or major sessions for market analysis.
Notes
Ensure your time ranges align with your trading instrument’s session times.
Overlapping ranges prioritize higher-numbered ranges (e.g., Asia Killzone overrides London Session).
Ideal for day traders, scalpers, or ICT strategy followers who need clear visual cues for specific market hours.

ATR %Overview
Shows the Average True Range (ATR) as a percentage of a chosen price basis. Useful for a quick, apples-to-apples view of current volatility across symbols and timeframes. The value is displayed in a clean table at the bottom-right of the chart.
What it shows
Basis can be: Close, EMA(len), SMA(len), or VWAP.
Data timeframe can be the Chart timeframe or a Daily aggregation.
Inputs
ATR length (len) – ATR lookback.
Percent basis – Close / EMA / SMA / VWAP.
Data timeframe – Chart (uses the current chart TF) or Daily (computes ATR and basis from daily data).
Decimals – number of decimal places to display.
Text / Background / Frame colors – customize the table appearance.
Notes
In Daily mode, ATR and basis are taken from daily data and update on daily close.
VWAP is available only in Chart mode (Daily + VWAP will show n/a by design).
The script overlays the chart but does not plot lines—only a compact info box.
Use cases
Compare volatility across coins/stocks quickly using ATR% instead of raw ATR.
Switch basis to match your style (e.g., EMA for trend-aware scaling, VWAP for intraday context).
Set Daily to track higher-timeframe volatility while trading lower TFs.

Gann Fan Strategy [KedarArc Quant]Description
A single-concept, rule-based strategy that trades around a programmatic Gann Fan.
It anchors to a swing (or a manual point), builds 1×1 and related fan lines numerically, and triggers entries when price interacts with the 1×1 (breakout or bounce). Management is done entirely with the fan structure (next/previous line) plus optional ATR trailing.
What TV indicators are used
* Pivots: `ta.pivothigh/ta.pivotlow` to confirm swing highs/lows for anchor selection.
* ATR: `ta.atr` only to scale the 1×1 slope (optional) and for an optional trailing stop.
* EMA: `ta.ema` as a trend filter (e.g., only long above the EMA, short below).
No RSI/MACD/Stoch/Heikin/etc. The logic is one coherent framework: Gann price–time geometry, with ATR as a scale and EMA as a risk filter.
How it works
1. Anchor
* Auto: chooses the most recent *confirmed* pivot (you control Left/Right).
* Manual: set a price and bar index and the fan will hold that point (no re-anchoring).
* Optional Re-anchor when a newer pivot confirms.
2. 1×1 Slope (numeric, not cosmetic)
* ATR mode: `1×1 = ATR(Length) × Multiplier` (adapts to volatility).
* Fixed mode: `ticks per bar` (constant slope).
Because slope is numeric, it doesn’t change with chart zoom, unlike the drawing tool.
3. Fan Lines
Builds classic ratios around the 1×1: 1/8, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 1/1, 2/1, 3/1, 4/1, 8/1.
4. Signals
* Breakout: cross of price over/under the 1×1 in the EMA-aligned direction.
* Bounce (optional): touch + reversal across the 1×1 to reduce whipsaw.
5. Exits & Risk
* Take-profit at the next fan line; Stop at the previous fan line.
* If a level is missing (right after re-anchor), a fallback Risk-Reward (RR) is used.
* Optional ATR trailing stop.
Why this is unique
* True numeric fan: The 1×1 slope is calculated from ATR or fixed ticks—not from screen geometry—so it is scale-invariant and reproducible across users/timeframes.
* Deterministic anchor logic: Uses confirmed pivots (with your L/R settings). No look-ahead; anchors update only when the right bars complete.
* Fan-native trade management: Both entries and exits come from the fan structure itself (with a minimal ATR/EMA assist), keeping the method pure.
* Two entry archetypes: Breakout for momentum days; Bounce for range days—switchable without changing the core model.
* Manual mode: Lock a session’s bias by anchoring to a chosen swing (e.g., day’s first major low/high) and keep the fan constant all day.
Inputs (quick guide)
* Auto Anchor (Left/Right): pivot sensitivity. Higher values = fewer, stronger anchors.
* Re-anchor: refresh to newer pivots as they confirm.
* Manual Anchor Price / Bar Index: fixes the fan (turn Auto off).
* Scale 1×1 by ATR: on = adaptive; off = use ticks per bar.
* ATR Length / ATR Multiplier: controls adaptive slope; start around 14 / 0.25–0.35.
* Ticks per bar: exact fixed slope (match a hand-drawn fan by computing slope ÷ mintick).
* EMA Trend Filter: e.g., 50–100; trades only in EMA direction.
* Use Bounce: require touch + reverse across 1×1 (helps in chop).
* TP/SL at fan lines; Fallback RR for missing levels; ATR Trailing Stop optional.
* Transparency/Plot EMA: visual preferences.
Tips
* Range days: larger pivots (L/R 8–12), Bounce ON, ATR Multiplier \~0.30–0.40, EMA 100.
* Trend days: L/R 5–6, Breakout, Multiplier \~0.20–0.30, EMA 50, ATR trail 1.0–1.5.
* Match the TV Gann Fan drawing: turn ATR scale OFF, set ticks per bar = `(Δprice between anchor and 1×1 target) / (bars) / mintick`.
Repainting & testing notes
* Pivots require Right bars to confirm; anchors are set after confirmation (no look-ahead).
* Signals use the current bar close with TradingView strategy mechanics; real-time vs. bar-close can differ slightly, as with any strategy.
* Re-anchoring legitimately moves the structure when new pivots confirm—by design.

Deadband Hysteresis Supertrend [BackQuant]Deadband Hysteresis Supertrend
A two-stage trend tool that first filters price with a deadband baseline, then runs a Supertrend around that baseline with optional flip hysteresis and ATR-based adverse exits.
What this is
A hybrid of two ideas:
Deadband Hysteresis Baseline that only advances when price pulls far enough from the baseline to matter. This suppresses micro noise and gives you a stable centerline.
Supertrend bands wrapped around that baseline instead of raw price. Flips are further gated by an extra margin so side changes are more deliberate.
The goal is fewer whipsaws in chop and clearer regime identification during trends.
How it works (high level)
Deadband step — compute a per-bar “deadband” size from one of four modes: ATR, Percent of price, Ticks, or Points. If price deviates from the baseline by more than this amount, move the baseline forward by a fraction of the excess. If not, hold the line.
Centered Supertrend — build upper and lower bands around the baseline using ATR and a user factor. Track the usual trailing logic that tightens a band while price moves in its favor.
Flip hysteresis — require price to exceed the active band by an extra flip offset × ATR before switching sides. This adds stickiness at the boundary.
Adverse exit — once a side is taken, trigger an exit if price moves against the entry by K × ATR .
If you would like to check out the filter by itself:
What it plots
DBHF baseline (optional) as a smooth centerline.
DBHF Supertrend as the active trailing band.
Candle coloring by trend side for quick read.
Signal markers 𝕃 and 𝕊 at flips plus ✖ on adverse exits.
Inputs that matter
Price Source — series being filtered. Close is typical. HL2 or HLC3 can be steadier.
Deadband mode — ATR, Percent, Ticks, or Points. This defines the “it’s big enough to matter” zone.
ATR Length / Mult (DBHF) — only used when mode = ATR. Larger values widen the do-nothing zone.
Percent / Ticks / Points — alternatives to ATR; pick what fits your market’s convention.
Enter Mult — scales the deadband you must clear before the baseline moves. Increase to filter more noise.
Response — fraction of the excess applied to baseline movement. Higher responds faster; lower is smoother.
Supertrend ATR Period & Factor — traditional band size controls; higher factor widens and flips less often.
Flip Offset ATR — extra ATR buffer required to flip. Useful in choppy regimes.
Adverse Stop K·ATR — per-trade danger brake that forces an exit if price moves K×ATR against entry.
UI — toggle baseline, supertrend, signals, and bar painting; choose long and short colors.
How to read it
Green regime — candles painted long and the Supertrend running below price. Pullbacks toward the baseline that fail to breach the opposite band often resume higher.
Red regime — candles painted short and the Supertrend running above price. Rallies that cannot reclaim the band may roll over.
Frequent side swaps — reduce sensitivity by increasing Enter Mult, using ATR mode, raising the Supertrend factor, or adding Flip Offset ATR.
Use cases
Bias filter — allow entries only in the direction of the current side. Use your preferred triggers inside that bias.
Trailing logic — treat the active band as a dynamic stop. If the side flips or an adverse K·ATR exit prints, reduce or close exposure.
Regime map — on higher timeframes, the combination baseline + band produces a clean up vs down template for allocation decisions.
Tuning guidance
Fast markets — ATR deadband, modest Enter Mult (0.8–1.2), response 0.2–0.35, Supertrend factor 1.7–2.2, small Flip Offset (0.2–0.5 ATR).
Choppy ranges — widen deadband or raise Enter Mult, lower response, and add more Flip Offset so flips require stronger evidence.
Slow trends — longer ATR periods and higher Supertrend factor to keep you on side longer; use a conservative adverse K.
Included alerts
DBHF ST Long — side flips to long.
DBHF ST Short — side flips to short.
Adverse Exit Long / Short — K·ATR stop triggers against the current side.
Strengths
Deadbanded baseline reduces micro whipsaws before Supertrend logic even begins.
Flip hysteresis adds a second layer of confirmation at the boundary.
Optional adverse ATR stop provides a uniform risk cut across assets and regimes.
Clear visuals and minimal parameters to adjust for symbol behavior.
Putting it together
Think of this tool as two decisions layered into one view. The deadband baseline answers “does this move even count,” then the Supertrend wrapped around that baseline answers “if it counts, which side should I be on and where do I flip.” When both parts agree you tend to stay on the correct side of a trend for longer, and when they disagree you get an early warning that conditions are changing.
When the baseline bends and price cannot reclaim the opposite band , momentum is usually continuing. Pullbacks into the baseline that stall before the far band often resolve in trend.
When the baseline flattens and the bands compress , expect indecision. Use the Flip Offset ATR to avoid reacting to the first feint. Wait for a clean band breach with follow through.
When an adverse K·ATR exit prints while the side has not flipped , treat it as a risk event rather than a full regime change. Many users cut size, re-enter only if the side reasserts, and let the next flip confirm a new trend.
Final thoughts
Deadband Hysteresis Supertrend is best read as a regime lens. The baseline defines your tolerance for noise, the bands define your trailing structure, and the flip offset plus adverse ATR stop define how forgiving or strict you want to be at the boundary. On strong trends it helps you hold through shallow shakeouts. In choppy conditions it encourages patience until price does something meaningful. Start with settings that reflect the cadence of your market, observe how often flips occur, then nudge the deadband and flip offset until the tool spends most of its time describing the move you care about rather than the noise in between.
