Understand Daily ATR & SDTR Context on SPXWHY
Every trader needs clarity.
Markets move quickly, volatility shifts without warning, and daily price action often feels chaotic unless you understand the context behind it.
When you know where you are inside the day’s expected range and volatility environment, decision-making becomes more objective, disciplined, and confident.
That’s the purpose of this tool:
to give traders a clearer sense of intraday reality so they can act with intention instead of impulse.
________________________________________
HOW
It does this by anchoring each session to a set of objective, volatility-based reference points:
• Daily ATR projections that outline the day’s typical movement range
• A standardized deviation envelope (SDTR) that highlights areas of expansion or exhaustion
• RTH-aligned resets, so the levels refresh cleanly at the start of each session
These elements work together to form a steady, unbiased framework around each trading day.
________________________________________
WHAT
The result is a daily ATR + SDTR context overlay, now available free on TradingView.
It provides:
• Expected daily high/low zones based on smoothed ATR
• A volatility shell around the prior close
• Daily context levels that reset automatically at each RTH open
• A clean, unobtrusive visual guide for interpreting intraday price behavior
It works on any intraday timeframe and integrates seamlessly with your existing workflow — structure, VWAP, volume analysis, price action, Fibonacci levels, or your preferred set of signals.
This isn’t a trading system.
It’s a lens — designed to help traders see the day more clearly.

Weekday Close vs Open — Last N (per weekday)# Weekday Close vs Open - Last N Occurrences
This indicator distills every weekday's historical open-to-close behavior into a compact table so you can see how "typical" the current session is before the day even closes. It runs independently of your chart timeframe by pulling daily OHLCV data under the hood, tracking the last **N** completed occurrences for each weekday, and refreshing only when a daily bar closes. On daily charts you can also shade every past bar that matches today's weekday (excluding the in-progress session) to reinforce the pattern visually while the table remains non-repainting.
## What It Shows
- **Win/Loss/Tie counts** - how many of the last `N` occurrences closed above the open (wins), below (losses), or inside the tie threshold you define as "flat".
- **Win % heatmap** - the win column is color-coded (deep green > deep red) so you immediately recognize strong or weak weekdays.
- **Advanced metrics (optional)** - average daily volume plus the average percentage excursion above/below the open (`AvgUp%`, `AvgDn%`) for that weekday.
- **Totals row** - aggregates every weekday into one row to estimate overall hit rate and average stats across the entire data set.
- **Weekday shading (optional)** - on daily charts you can tint every bar that matches today's weekday (all Mondays, all Fridays, etc.) for instant pattern recognition.
## How It Works
1. The script requests daily OHLCV data (non-repainting) regardless of the chart timeframe.
2. When a new daily bar confirms, it packs that day's data into one of seven arrays (one per weekday). Each day contributes five floats (O/H/L/C/V) so trimming and statistics stay in lockstep.
3. A helper function (`f_dayMetrics`) scans daily history to compute average volume, average excursion above/below the open, and win/loss/tie counts for the requested weekday.
4. The table populates on the last bar of the chart session, respecting your advanced/totals toggles and keeping text at `size.normal`.
## Reading the Table
- **Win/Loss/Tie columns**: raw counts taken from your chosen `N`.
- **Win %***: excludes ties from the denominator so it reflects only decisive closes.
- **AvgUp% / AvgDn%**: typical intraday extension (high vs open, open vs low) in percent.
- **Avg Vol**: arithmetic mean of daily volume for that weekday.
- **TOTAL row**: provides a global win rate plus volume/up/down averages weighted by how many samples each weekday contributed.
## Practical Uses
- Spot weekdays that historically trend higher or lower before entering a trade.
- Compare current price action against the typical intraday range (`AvgUp%` vs today's move).
- Filter mean-reversion vs breakout setups based on the most reliable weekday patterns.
- Quickly gauge whether today is behaving "in character" by referencing the highlighted row or the optional whole-chart weekday shading.
> **Tip:** Use smaller `N` values (e.g., 10-20) for adaptive, recent behavior and larger values (50+) to capture longer-term seasonality. Tighten the tie threshold if you want almost every candle to register as win/loss, or widen it to focus only on meaningful moves.
Top N Candle HighlighterTrack highest candle sizes on current timeframes. This short script:
1. Tracks the **top N largest candles** on the current chart
2. Option to use **body size** or **full candle range**
3. Highlights candles using `box.new()` (fully v6 compatible)
4. Optionally shows **rank and size labels**
5. Handles red, green, and doji candles differently with color
ATR Volatility AlertsOverview:
This is a dynamic alert tool based on the Average True Range (ATR), designed to help traders detect sudden price movements that exceed normal volatility levels. Whether you are trading breakouts or monitoring for abnormal spikes, this indicator visualizes these events on the chart and triggers system alerts when the price move exceeds your specified ATR multiplier.
Key Features:
Fully Customizable ATR Range:
You can adjust the ATR Length (Default: 14) and the Multiplier (Default: 1.5x).
Tip: Increase the multiplier (e.g., to 2.0 or 3.0) to catch only extreme volatility, or lower it for scalping smaller moves.
Visual Chart Signals:
Visual markers appear instantly when a bar's movement exceeds the ATR threshold.
Green Triangle: Indicates an Upward Spike.
Red Triangle: Indicates a Downward Spike.
Flexible System Alerts:
Designed to integrate seamlessly with TradingView's alert system. You can choose from three specific alert directions based on your strategy:
1.Price Spike Up: Triggers only on sharp upward moves.
2.Price Spike Down: Triggers only on sharp downward moves.
3.Bidirectional Volatility Alert: Triggers on BOTH huge pumps and dumps.
How to Set Alerts:
Click the "Create Alert" button in TradingView.
Select ATR Volatility Alerts in the "Condition" dropdown.
Choose the specific logic you need:
· Select Price Spike Up for bullish monitoring.
· Select Price Spike Down for bearish monitoring.
· Select Bidirectional Volatility Alert to watch for any volatility expansion.
Two Supertrend Crossover SignalThis indicator is designed to visualize trend shifts using two Supertrend lines and a crossover-based signal system.
It also colors the area between the two Supertrend lines based on the current trend direction, making trend changes easy to identify at a glance.
How It Works
The indicator plots:
Fast Supertrend (shorter ATR length, lower factor)
Slow Supertrend (longer ATR length, higher factor)
A crossover between these two Supertrend lines indicates a possible trend shift.
Buy Signal
A BUY signal occurs when: Fast Supertrend crosses ABOVE Slow Supertrend
This suggests bullish momentum strengthening.
Sell Signal
A SELL signal occurs when: Fast Supertrend crosses BELOW Slow Supertrend
This suggests bearish momentum increasing.
Buy/Sell Signal Labels
The chart displays clear BUY (green) and SELL (red) labels at every crossover.
These signals help traders quickly pinpoint potential entries or exits.
This indicator is ideal for:
✓ Trend trading
✓ Swing trading
✓ Identifying momentum shifts
✓ Visual confirmation of market direction
✓ Combining with price action or EMA filters
You may adjust ATR length and multiplier depending on the timeframe:
For Scalping (1–5 min):
Fast ATR: 5–7
Slow ATR: 10–14
For Intraday (5–15 min):
Fast ATR: 7
Slow ATR: 10–14
For Swing Trading (1h–4h):
Fast ATR: 10
Slow ATR: 20
Important Notes
This indicator does not repaint the Supertrend values.
Signals are based on confirmed crossovers.
Use stop-loss and risk management appropriate for your strategy.
Always combine with market context (support/resistance, volume, etc.)

BB Breakout + EMA Touch (50/100)Shows points only when BOTH happen on the same candle:
1️⃣ Price breaks through Bollinger Bands
2️⃣ Price touches (or crosses) EMA 50 or EMA 100
The Bear & Bull TieWhat it does:
Bear & Bull Tie is a moving average crossover indicator that identifies trend reversals and generates entry/exit signals based on the relationship between price and three simple moving averages (SMA 21, SMA 55, SMA 89). The indicator combines these three MAs into an Average Moving Average (AMA) to confirm directional bias, then uses ATR (Average True Range) volatility measurement for dynamic position sizing and stop-loss placement.
How it works:
The indicator operates on a simple but effective principle: it enters a bullish trend when price closes above all three moving averages simultaneously, and enters a bearish trend when price closes below all three MAs simultaneously. This "three MA alignment" approach filters out noise and confirms genuine trend changes. The indicator then plots:
Entry levels at the highest MA during uptrends or lowest MA during downtrends
Stop-loss zones calculated using 2x ATR distance from entry prices
Trend confirmation fill between price and the Average Moving Average, color-coded blue for bullish and red for bearish
The ATR-based stop-loss sizing adapts to market volatility, making it suitable for different market conditions and timeframes.
How to use it:
Monitor the filled zones to visually confirm your trend bias
Watch for alerts when new long or short setups form; entry prices and ATR-based stops are displayed on the chart
Trade the zones between your entry level and stop-loss zone, adjusting position size based on your risk tolerance
Exit when colors reverse to indicate trend termination
The indicator works best on higher timeframes (1H and above) where trend clarity is stronger and false signals are reduced.

Energy Meter (Candle Range/ATR Ratio)Purpose:
This indicator is a simple, intuitive way to visualize auction energy — the actual force behind a price move — rather than just its appearance on the chart. It’s built on a single idea:
If a bar travels farther than normal in its fixed amount of time, something pushed harder than usual.
That “push” is auction energy, and it’s the raw material of microstructure inference: reading intent and imbalance from nothing more than candles, tempo, and volatility.
Traditional indicators focus on price patterns or volume. This one focuses on pressure — the underlying imbalance driving each bar.
How It Works
Each bar’s True Range is divided by its ATR, producing a normalized ratio:
1.0 = Average energy
>1.2 (default) = Above-normal energy
<1.0 = Quiet, low-pressure bars
This ratio is plotted as a histogram to highlight bursts of force, with a smoothed line added to show the tempo of recent energy changes.
When the histogram spikes, you’re seeing the auction flash its teeth: aggression, initiative, failed absorption, breakout ignition, or the first punch of a reversal.
When the line rolls over, you’re seeing the engine lose torque.
It’s a minimalist tool for seeing who is actually winning the auction, even when price looks deceptively calm.
Why It Matters
Price moves because of imbalance, not geometry. Two candles that look identical can represent completely different internal dynamics.
This indicator helps you see:
Breakout strength vs. fakeouts
Acceleration vs. drift
Exhaustion after extended runs
Reversal attempts with real intent
Quiet absorption before explosive moves
Shifts in aggression hidden inside consolidation
For new traders, it’s a clean introduction to microstructure inference — extracting meaningful order-flow insights without needing L2, DOM, or volume profile.
For experienced traders, it's a compact impulse detector that complements trend, volatility, and liquidity models.
Summary
This is a lightweight, first-principles tool designed to expose the energy signature of the auction: how hard the market is trying to go somewhere.
It doesn’t predict direction — it reveals pressure, so you can judge the quality of the move you’re trading.
Energy beats geometry.
Intent beats patterns.
Microstructure is hiding in every candle; this indicator makes it visible.
Mirror Blocks: StrategyMirror Blocks is an educational structural-wave model built around a unique concept:
the interaction of mirrored weighted moving averages (“blocks”) that reflect shifts in market structure as price transitions between layered symmetry zones.
Rather than attempting to “predict” markets, the Mirror Blocks framework visualizes how price behaves when it expands away from, contracts toward, or flips across stacked WMA structures. These mirrored layers form a wave-like block system that highlights transitional zones in a clean, mechanical way.
This strategy version allows you to study how these structural transitions behave in different environments and on different timeframes.
The goal is understanding wave structure, not generating signals.
How It Works
Mirror Blocks builds three mirrored layers:
Top Block (Structural High Symmetry)
Base Block (Neutral Wave)
Bottom Block (Structural Low Symmetry)
The relative position of these blocks — and how price interacts with them — helps visualize:
Compression and expansion
Reversal zones
Wave stability
Momentum transitions
Structure flips
A structure is considered bullish-stack aligned when:
Top > Base > Bottom
and bearish-stack aligned when:
Bottom > Base > Top
These formations create the core of the Mirror Blocks wave engine.
What the Strategy Version Adds
This version includes:
Long Only, Short Only, or Long & Short modes
Adjustable symmetry distance (Mirror Distance)
Configurable WMA smoothing length
Optional trend filter using fast/slow MA comparison
ENTER / EXIT / LONG / SHORT labels for structural transitions
Fixed stop-loss controls for research
A clean, transparent structure with no hidden components
It is optimized for educational chart study, not automated signals.
Intended Purpose
Mirror Blocks is meant to help traders:
Study structural transitions
Understand symmetry-based wave models
Explore how price interacts with mirrored layers
Examine reversals and expansions from a mechanical perspective
Conduct long and short backtesting for research
Develop a deeper sense of market rhythm
This is not a prediction model.
It is a visual and structural framework for understanding movement.
Backtesting Disclaimer
Backtest results can vary depending on:

Weekly price boxWeekend Trap / Custom Timebox Analyzer
This indicator allows traders to define a specific time window (e.g., the "Weekend Trap" period from Friday to Sunday, or a full weekly range) and automatically draws a box highlighting the price action during that session. It is designed to help visualize gaps, ranges, and trend direction over specific timeframes.
Key Features
Dynamic Range Detection: automatically draws a box connecting the Highest High and Lowest Low occurring between your start and end times.
Trend Visualization: The box changes color dynamically based on price performance:
Bullish (Blue): Close is higher than the Open of the defined period.
Bearish (Red): Close is lower than the Open of the defined period.
Smart Labeling: Displays a customizable label (default: "Box") along with the real-time Percentage Change of the period. The label is positioned intelligently outside the box to avoid cluttering the price action.
Flexible Timing:
Supports standard intraday sessions (e.g., Mon 09:00 to Mon 17:00).
Supports "wrap-around" sessions (e.g., Friday 23:00 to Sunday 17:00).
New: Supports full-week monitoring (e.g., Friday to Friday) by handling start times that are later than end times on the same day.
Fully Customizable:
Configure specific Bullish and Bearish colors (Border, Background, Text).
Adjust line styles (Solid, Dashed, Dotted) and widths.
Select days via easy-to-use dropdown menus.
How to Use
Time Settings:

Momentum Divergence Oscillator by JJMomentum Divergence Oscillator by JJ
A powerful, all-in-one momentum tool designed to streamline trade confluence, combining multi-timeframe trend analysis with automatic divergence spotting and classic MACD signals.
How to Use This Indicator
This oscillator is designed to be used in the lower pane of your chart, beneath your primary price chart. It provides three main types of signals:
1. Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Trend Confirmation
The background shading is your primary trend filter. It looks at the MACD trend on two higher timeframes (30m and 60m by default) to confirm the market's overarching direction.
Green Shading: Indicates that both higher timeframes are in a bullish trend (MACD above signal line). Focus on looking for BUY signals during this time.
Red Shading: Indicates that both higher timeframes are in a bearish trend. Focus on looking for SELL signals during this time.
Grey/No Shading: The higher timeframes are not in agreement or are consolidating. Exercise caution or stick to standard price action rules.
2. Automatic Divergence Signals
Divergence is a powerful early warning system where the indicator moves in the opposite direction of the price. The indicator automatically flags these occurrences:
"Bull RSI Div" (Green Label-Up): Bullish divergence identified using the RSI oscillator. This suggests a potential reversal to the upside after a downtrend.
"Bear RSI Div" (Red Label-Down): Bearish divergence identified using the RSI oscillator. This suggests a potential reversal to the downside after an uptrend.
Tip: These signals are often most reliable when they occur within the corresponding MTF background colour (e.g., a "Bull RSI Div" during a Green MTF background).
3. Momentum Shifts and Crossovers
The standard plots provide immediate insight into market momentum:
Blue/Orange Lines: The traditional MACD line (Blue) and Signal line (Orange).
Histogram (Green/Red Bars): Represents the momentum difference between the MACD and Signal lines.
Zero-Line Crosses (Triangles): Tiny triangles appear when the MACD line crosses the zero line, indicating a shift in long-term momentum.
Peaks & Troughs (X-Crosses): The 'X' markers identify local peaks and troughs in the histogram, sometimes indicating short-term exhaustion of the current move.
Disclaimer: Trading involves significant risk and is not suitable for every investor. This indicator is for educational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice. Always use appropriate risk management.
Liquidity ThermometerThis is a universal indicator that assesses market liquidity based on five key market parameters: volume, volatility, candlestick range, body size, and price momentum.
The indicator does not use open interest data and is suitable for all markets, including spot, futures, and Forex.
This indicator normalizes each metric historically and creates a composite index between 0 and 1, where higher values correspond to a stable and calm market environment, and lower values indicate periods of increased risk and potential liquidity stress.
LT generates an integral liquidity index in the range based on five normalized components:
-nVol — normalized volume, reflecting trading density and activity.
-nATR — the volatility component (ATR), inverted, as high volatility is typically associated with declining liquidity.
-nRange — the normalized candlestick range, also inverted to assess the structural narrowness of the price movement.
-nBody — the normalized candlestick body size (|close − open|), inverted to assess the balance of supply and demand.
-nMove — the normalized value of the price impulse movement (|Δclose|), reflecting short-term price spikes.
Each metric is linearly normalized over a sliding window (200 bars) using the formula:
norm(x) = (x − min) / (max − min),
where at max = min, the value is fixed at 0.5 to ensure stability.
The ALT index is calculated as a weighted combination:
ALT = 0.35 nVol + 0.20 (1 − nATR) + 0.20 (1 − nRange) + 0.15 (1 − nBody) + 0.10 (1 − nMove)
The result is further smoothed using EMA(3) to reduce micronoise.
Red Zone (MLI < 0.25) — Risk, Thin Liquidity
When the indicator falls into the red zone, it means the market is extremely volatile:
Characteristics:
Low volume — small trades have a strong impact on the price.
High volatility — candlesticks rise or fall sharply.
Wide candlestick range — the market is "breathing heavily," easily breaking price extremes.
Impulsive movements — small market shocks lead to sharp spikes.
Thin liquidity — few orders in the order book, large orders "eat up" the market.
What this means for a trader:
🔥 High risk of spikes and false breakouts.
⚠ Possible series of liquidations on leverage.
❌ It is not recommended to enter long or short positions without a filter or protection.
✅ Can be used for short scalping strategies if you know the entry point, but very carefully.
Green Zone (MLI > 0.75) — High Liquidity, Safe Zone
When the indicator rises into the green zone, it means the market is stable and balanced:
Characteristics:
High volume — the market is deep, orders are executed without a strong impact on the price.
Low volatility — candlesticks are stable, no sharp spikes.
Narrow candlestick range — price moves calmly.
Weak impulse movements — no sharp surges.
Sufficient liquidity — the market can handle large orders.
What this means for a trader:
✅ Safe zone for opening positions.
🔄 Easier to set stop-loss and take-profit orders.
💡 You can trade both up and down, the risk of sharp movements is minimal.
⚡ Under these conditions, there is a lower risk of spikes and accidental liquidations.
It does not predict price movements or guarantee results. It is an analytical tool intended for additional research into market structure.
Vince/Williams Selling Climax SignalThis indicator identifies moments of ultimate market capitulation based on the "Selling Climax" research by Ralph Vince and Larry Williams. It monitors the ratio of New Lows to total traded issues to detect when selling pressure has reached an unsustainable, panic-driven extreme (defaulting to 20% of the entire market hitting new lows).
The script visualizes this process in two stages. First, it marks the actual days of panic with red diamonds, showing you where the "washout" is occurring. Second, and most importantly, it generates a green diamond buy signal on the very first day the panic subsides. This allows you to enter a position immediately after the supply of desperate sellers has been exhausted, often catching the absolute bottom of a sharp correction.
Vince/Williams Bloodbath Sidestepping RuleThis is a defensive risk management tool designed to keep you on the sidelines during devastating market crashes. Drawing on the "Bloodbath" criteria outlined by Vince and Williams, this script highlights periods where market internals have structurally broken down, specifically when the percentage of New Lows exceeds a "danger" threshold (default 4%).
Unlike the Climax signal which looks for the end of a drop, this rule is designed to spot the acceleration phase of a decline. When the background turns red, it indicates that the market is in a liquidating phase where support levels are likely to fail. You should use this as a strict filter to avoid opening new long positions or to tighten stops on existing ones until the background color clears, signaling that the internal bleeding has stopped.
Vince/Williams Extreme Volatility VulnerabilityDescription: This indicator implements the "Period of Extreme Vulnerability" concept developed by Ralph Vince and Larry Williams. The theory posits that a healthy market must regularly see the number of New Lows "dry up" (drop to near zero). When the percentage of New Lows fails to drop below a minimal threshold (default 0.15%) for a prolonged period (default 65 days), it indicates that internal market structure is rotting even if prices are rising, leaving the market fragile and prone to sudden volatility shocks.
I have programmed this script to track that exact condition—the extended absence of a "low" New Lows reading. It applies a 50-day Moving Average filter to contextually categorize the signal:
Red Dot (Crash Warning): Triggers when the vulnerability period begins while the price is above the 50 SMA. This is the classic warning signal, indicating that an uptrend is unsupported by market internals and a sharp correction may be imminent.
Green Dot (Contrarian Buy): Triggers when the vulnerability period begins while the price is below the 50 SMA. The script identifies this as a potential capitulation or value point where the persistent internal weakness is likely already priced in.
Note: This indicator requires exchange-wide data (New Lows, Advancers, Decliners) to function. It is best used on daily timeframes.
VIX Fix Indicator (Hestla 2015)This script provides a streamlined version of the VIX Fix, referencing the foundational work of Larry Williams and the strategies of Amber Hestla. It serves as a synthetic volatility gauge for assets that lack a dedicated VIX index. The math works by measuring the percentage drop from the highest recent close to the current low, essentially quantifying fear in the market without needing options data.
This specific script is designed to be purely visual. I have removed all the buy and sell labels found in other versions to leave a clean pane that plots only the oscillator and its moving average. You can use this to identify potential market bottoms when the black line spikes significantly, signaling that selling pressure is reaching a mathematical extreme relative to the recent trend.
Volatility Tsunami RegimeVolatility Tsunami Regime
This indicator identifies periods of extreme volatility compression to help anticipate upcoming market expansions. It detects when volatility is unusually quiet, which historically precedes violent price moves.
The script pulls data from the CBOE VIX and VVIX indices regardless of the chart you are viewing. It calculates the standard deviation of both indices over a user-defined lookback period (default is 20). If the standard deviation drops below specific thresholds, the script flags the market regime as compressed.
The background color changes based on the severity of the compression. A red background signals a Double Compression, meaning both the VIX and VVIX are below their volatility thresholds. An orange background signals a Single Compression, meaning only one of the two indices has dropped below its threshold.
Use this tool to spot the "calm before the storm." When the background is red, volatility is statistically suppressed, making it a prime time to look for breakouts or buy options while premiums are cheap. Conversely, it serves as a warning to tighten stops if you are short volatility.

1. Core Ichimoku Engine
Code sections:
Input group: Core Ichimoku
Function: ichiCalc()
Variables: tenkan, kijun, spanA, spanB, chikou
What it does
Calculates the classic Ichimoku components:
Tenkan (Conversion Line) – fast Donchian average (convLen)
Kijun (Base Line) – slower Donchian average (baseLen)
Senkou Span A (Span A / Lead1) – (Tenkan + Kijun)/2
Senkou Span B (Span B / Lead2) – Donchian over spanBLen
Chikou – current close shifted back in time (displace)
Everything else in the indicator builds on this engine.
How to use it (trading)
Tenkan vs Kijun = short-term vs medium-term balance.
Tenkan above Kijun = short-term bullish control; below = bearish control.
Span A / B defines the cloud, which represents equilibrium and support/resistance.
Price above cloud = bullish bias; price below cloud = bearish bias.

Plots: plot(tenkan), plot(kijun), plot(chikou), p1, p2, fill(p1, p2, ...)
What it does
Lets you toggle individual components:
Show/hide Tenkan, Kijun, Chikou, and the cloud.
Customize cloud colors & opacity:
bullCloudColor when Span A > Span B
bearCloudColor when Span A < Span B
Adjust cloud line width for clarity.
How to use it
Turn off components you don’t use (e.g., hide Chikou if you only want cloud + Tenkan/Kijun).
For higher-timeframe or noisy charts, use thicker Kijun & cloud so structure is easier to see.

Plots: pHTF1, pHTF2, fill(pHTF1, pHTF2, ...)
What it does
Pulls higher-timeframe Ichimoku cloud (e.g., 1H, 4H, Daily) onto your current chart.
Uses the same Ichimoku settings but aggregates on htfTf.
Plots an extra, semi-transparent cloud ahead of price:
Greenish when HTF Span A > Span B
Reddish when HTF Span B > Span A
How to use it
Trade LTF (e.g., 5m/15m) only in alignment with HTF trend:
HTF cloud bullish + LTF Ichi bullish → look for longs
HTF cloud bearish + LTF Ichi bearish → look for shorts
Treat HTF cloud boundaries as major S/R zones.

4. Oracle Module
Code sections:
Input group: Oracle Module
Vars: useOracle, oracleLen, oracleColor, oracleWidth, oracleSlopeLen
Logic: oracleLine = donchian(oracleLen); slope check vs oracleLine
Plot: plot(useOracle ? oracleLine : na, "Oracle", ...)
What it does
Creates a long-term Donchian baseline (default 208 bars).
Uses a simple slope check:
Current Oracle > Oracle oracleSlopeLen bars ago → Oracle Bull
Current Oracle < Oracle oracleSlopeLen bars ago → Oracle Bear
Slope state is also shown in the dashboard (“Bull / Bear / Flat”).
How to use it
Think of Oracle as your macro anchor :
Only take longs when Oracle is sloping up or flat.
Only take shorts when Oracle is sloping down or flat.
Works well combined with HTF cloud:
HTF cloud bullish + Oracle Bull = higher conviction long bias.
Ideal for Gold / Indices swing trades as a trend filter.

5. Trend Regime Classifier
Code sections:
Input group: Trend Regime Logic
Vars: useTrendRegime, bgTrendOpacity, minTrendScore
Logic:
priceAboveCloud, priceBelowCloud, priceInsideCloud
Tenkan vs Kijun alignment
Cloud bullish/bearish
bullScore / bearScore (0–3)
regime + regimeLabel + regimeColor
Visuals: bgcolor(regimeColor) and optional barcolor() in priceColoring mode.
What it does
Scores the market in three dimensions :
Price vs Cloud
Tenkan vs Kijun
Cloud Direction (Span A vs Span B)
Each condition contributes +1 to either bullScore or bearScore .
Then:
Bull regime when:
bullScore >= minTrendScore and bullScore > bearScore
Price in cloud → “Range”
Everything else → “Transition”
These regimes are shown as:
Background colors:
Teal = Bull
Maroon = Bear
Orange = Range
Silver = Transition
Optional candle recoloring when priceColoring = true.
How to use it
Filters:
Only buy when regime = Bull or Transition and Oracle/HTF agree.
Only sell when regime = Bear or Transition and Oracle/HTF agree.
No trade zone:
When regime = Range (price inside cloud), avoid new entries; wait for break.
Aggressiveness:
Adjust minTrendScore to be stricter (3) or looser (1).

6. Signals: Chikou & Cloud Breakout
Code sections :
Logic:
chikouBuySignal = ta.crossover(chikou, close)
chikouSellSignal = ta.crossunder(chikou, close)
cloudBreakUp = priceInsideCloud and priceAboveCloud
cloudBreakDown = priceInsideCloud and priceBelowCloud
What it does
1. Two key signal groups:
Chikou Cross Signals
Buy when Chikou crosses up through price.
Sell when Chikou crosses down through price.
Classic Ichi confirmation idea: Chikou breaking free of price cluster.
2. Cloud Breakout Signals
Long trigger: yesterday inside cloud → today price breaks above cloud.
Short trigger: yesterday inside cloud → today price breaks below cloud.
Captures “equilibrium → expansion” moves.
These are conditions only in this version (no chart shapes yet) but are fully wired for alerts. (Future Updates)
How to use it
Use Chikou signals as confirmation, not standalone entries:
Eg., Bull regime + Oracle Bull + cloud breakout + Chikou Buy.
Use Cloud Breakouts to catch the first impulsive leg after consolidation.

7. Alerts (Automation Ready)
[
b]Code sections:
Input group: Alerts
Vars: useAlertTrend, useAlertChikou, useAlertCloudBO
Alert lines like: "FxAST Ichi Bull Trend", "FxAST Ichi Bull Trend", "FxAST Ichi Cloud Break Up"
What it does
Provides ready-made alert hooks for:
Trend regime (Bull / Bear)
Chikou cross buy/sell
Cloud breakout up/down
Each type can be globally toggled on/off via the inputs (helpful if a user only wants one kind).
How to use it
In TradingView: set alerts using “Any alert() function call” on this indicator.
Then filter which ones fire by:
Turning specific alert toggles on/off in input panel, or
Filtering text in your external bot / webhook side.
Example simple workflow ---> Indicator ---> TV Alert ---> Webhook ---> Bot/Broker
8. FxAST Dashboard
Code sections:
Input group: Dashboard
Vars: showDashboard, dashPos, dash, dashInit
Helper: getDashPos() → position.*
Table cells (updated on barstate.islast):
Row 0: Regime + label
Row 1: Oracle status (Bull / Bear / Flat / Off)
Row 2: HTF Cloud (On + TF / Off)
Row 3: Scores (BullScore / BearScore)
What it does
Displays a compact panel with the state of the whole system :
Current Trend Regime (Bull / Bear / Transition / Range)
Oracle slope state
Whether HTF Cloud is active + which timeframe
Raw Bull / Bear scores (0–3 each)
Position can be set: Top Right, Top Left, Bottom Right, Bottom Left.
How to use it
Treat it like a pilot instrument cluster :
Quick glance: “Are my trend, oracle and HTF all aligned?”
Great for streaming / screenshots: everything important is visible in one place without reading the code.

Trend Following Volatility Trail*Script was previously removed by Moderators at 1.8k boosts* - This was out of my control. This script was very popular and seemed to help a lot of traders. I am re uploading to help the community!
Trend Following Volatility Trail
The Trend Following Volatility Trail is a dynamic trend-following tool that adapts its stop, bias, and zones to real-time volatility and trend strength. Instead of using static ATR multiples like a normal Supertrend or Chandelier Stop, it continuously adjusts itself based on how stretched the market is and how persistent the trend has been. This indicator is based on volatility weighted EMAC
This makes the system far more reactive during momentum phases and more conservative during consolidation, helping avoid fake flips and late entries.
How It Works
The indicator builds an adaptive trail around a smoothed price basis:
– It starts with a short EMA as the “core trend line.”
– It measures volatility expansion versus normal volatility.
– It measures trend persistence by reading whether price has been rising or falling consistently.
– These two components combine to adjust the ATR multiplier dynamically.
As volatility expands or the trend becomes more persistent, the bands widen.
When volatility compresses or the trend weakens, the bands tighten.
These adaptive bands form the foundation of the trailing system.
Bull & Bear State Logic
The tool constantly tracks whether price is above or below the adaptive trail:
Price above the upper trail → Bullish regime
Price below the lower trail → Bearish regime
But instead of flipping immediately, it waits for confirmation bars to avoid noise.
This greatly reduces whipsaws and keeps the focus on sustained moves.
Once a new regime is confirmed:
– A coloured cloud appears (bull or bear)
– A label marks the flip point
– Alerts can be triggered automatically
Best Uses
Identifying regime shifts early
Riding sustained trends with confidence
Avoiding choppy markets by requiring confirmation
Using the adaptive cloud as a directional bias layer
Dresteghamat-Multi timeframe Regime & Exhaustion**Dresteghamat-Multi timeframe Regime & Exhaustion**
This script is a custom decision-support dashboard that aggregates volatility, momentum, and structural data across multiple timeframes to filter market noise. It addresses the problem of "Analysis Paralysis" by automating the correlation between lower timeframe momentum and higher timeframe structure using a weighted scoring algorithm.
### 🔧 Methodology & Calculation Logic
The core engine does not simply overlay indicators; it normalizes their outputs into a unified score (-100 to +100). The logic is hidden (Protected) to preserve the proprietary weighting algorithm, but the underlying concepts are as follows:
**1. Adaptive Timeframe Selection (Context Engine)**
Instead of static monitoring, the script detects the user's current chart timeframe (`timeframe.multiplier`) and dynamically assigns two relevant Higher Timeframes (HTF) as anchors.
* *Logic:* If Current TF < 5min, the script analyzes 15m and 1H data. If Current TF < 1H, it shifts to 4H and Daily data. This ensures the analysis is contextually relevant.
**2. Regime & Volatility Filter (ATR Based)**
We use the Average True Range (ATR) to determine the market regime (Trend vs. Range).
* **Calculation:** We compare the current Swing Range (High-Low lookback) against a smoothed ATR. A high Ratio (> 2.0) indicates a Trend Regime, activating Trend-Following logic. A low ratio dampens the signals.
**3. Directional Bias (Structure + Flow)**
Direction is not determined by a single crossover. It is a fusion of:
* **Swing Structure:** Using `ta.pivothigh/low` to identify Higher Highs/Lower Lows.
* **Volume Flow:** Calculating the cumulative delta of candle bodies over a lookback period.
* **Micro-Bias:** A short-term (default 5-bar) momentum filter to detect immediate order flow changes.
**4. Exhaustion Logic (Mean Reversion Warning)**
To prevent buying at tops, the script calculates an "Exhaustion Score" based on:
* **RSI Divergence:** Detecting discrepancies between price peaks and momentum.
* **Volatility Extension:** Identifying when price has deviated significantly from its volatility mean (VRSD logic).
* **Volume Anomalies:** Detecting low volume on new highs (Supply absorption).
### 📊 How to Read the Dashboard
The table displays the raw status of each timeframe. The **"MODE"** row is the output of the algorithmic decision tree:
* **BUY/SELL ONLY:** Generated when the Current TF momentum aligns with the dynamically selected HTF structure AND the Exhaustion Score is below the threshold (default 70).
* **PULLBACK:** Triggered when the HTF Structure is bullish, but Current Momentum is bearish (indicating a corrective phase).
* **HTF EXHAUST:** A safety warning triggered when the HTF Volatility or RSI metrics hit extreme levels, overriding any entry signals.
* **WAIT:** Default state when volatility is low (Range Regime) or signals conflict.
