CUSUM Volatility BreakoutCUSUM Volatility Breakout A statistical trend-detection and volatility-breakout indicator that identifies subtle momentum shifts earlier than traditional tools.
OVERVIEW
The CUSUM control chart is a statistical tool designed to detect small, gradual shifts from a target value. In trading, it helps identify the early stages of a trend, giving traders a heads-up before momentum becomes obvious on standard price charts. By spotting these subtle movements, the CUSUM Volatility Breakout indicator (CUSUM VB) can highlight potential breakout opportunities earlier than traditional indicators. In other words, a statistical trend detection & breakout indicator.

HOW IT WORKS
CUSUM VB uses a combination of differenced price series, volume normalization, and dynamic control limits:
CUSUM Principle: Tracks cumulative deviations of price from a zero reference. Signals occur when cumulative deviations exceed a control limit shown on the chart and clears any enabled filters.
Adaptive Volatility: H adjusts automatically based on short- vs long-term ATR ratios, allowing faster detection during volatile periods and reduced false signals in calm markets.
Volume Weighting (optional): Amplifies price CUSUM values during high-volume bars to prioritize market participation strength.
ATR Confirmation (optional): Ensures breakouts are accompanied by expanded volatility.
Bollinger Band Squeeze Integration (optional): Confirms trend breakouts by detecting volatility contraction and release shown on the chart as triangles.
Signals:
Arrows on the price chart mark the bars where trades are actually filled, based on conditions detected on the prior signal bar.
Long Entry: Confirmed positive CUSUM breach (price & volume) with BB breakout (signal bar).
Short Entry: Confirmed negative CUSUM breach (price & volume) with BB breakout (signal bar).
Exit Signals: Triggered automatically by opposite-side signals.
Alerts, when created, fire on the bars where fills occur.
CHART COMPONENTS
CUSUM Upper Price (CU Price) and CUSUM Lower Price (CL Price) are green/red circles for confirmed signals.
● Rapid upward accumulation of CU Price indicates a developing bullish trend.
● Rapid downward accumulation of CL Price indicates a developing bearish trend.
Decision/Control limits (UCL/LCL, red)
Zero line (reference for the differenced price series baseline)
Optional BB triangles and volume CUSUM
SETUP AND CONFIGURATION
Differenced Price Series
Differenced Price Length and Lag
Increase differencing lag or window length → Increases variance of residuals → Wider control limits (UCL/LCL) → Slower to trigger.
Decrease lag or window → Tighter limits, more responsive to short-term regime shifts.
CUSUM Parameters
Volume-Weighted CUSUM
NOTE : Uses price length if 'Confirm Price with Volume' is disabled, otherwise will use volume length.
Amplifies CUSUM price responses during high-volume bars and reduces them during low-volume bars. This links trend detection to market participation strength.
Volume-Weighted CUSUM doesn’t replace price confirmation with volume; it modulates it by volume intensity, amplifying price signals when participation is strong and suppressing them when weak.
Recommended when analyzing assets with consistent volume patterns (e.g., stocks, major futures).
Disable for low-liquidity or irregular-volume instruments (e.g., crypto pairs, small-cap stocks).
ATR Confirmation
Enable this feature to confirm CUSUM signals only when price deviations are accompanied by higher-than-normal volatility. The indicator compares current ATR to a smoothed ATR to detect volatility expansion. This helps distinguish true breakouts from low-volatility noise and reduces false signals during quiet periods.
Adjust the ATR lookback length, smoothing length, and expansion factor to control sensitivity. Rule of thumb:
ATR Length ≈ 0.5 × differenced price length to 1.5 × differenced price length gives balanced sensitivity.
ATR Smoothing 5–10 bars.
ATR Expansion 5% to 50%.
CUSUM Input Mode
Select how CUSUM processes differenced price and log-normalized volume — either directly (Txfrm Data) or as deviations from a short-term EMA baseline (Residuals):
Txfrm Data = transformed input: differenced price & log-normalized volume as input for CUSUM (larger swings, more frequent control limit breaches)
Residuals = deviation from short-term EMA baseline (smaller swings, fewer control limit breaches, but higher signal quality).
Residual EMA Length: Defines how quickly the residual baseline adapts to recent differenced price moves. Shorter = more reactive; longer = smoother baseline. Keep EMA length moderate; over-smoothing can distort timing.
Control Sensitivity (K)
Increase K → Less sensitive → CUSUM accumulates slower → Fewer signals, captures only major trends.
Decrease K → More sensitive → CUSUM accumulates faster → More signals, captures minor swings too.
Reset Mode : Method of resetting CUSUM values.
Immediate Reset: Reset both immediately after any signal breach. Traditional SPC.
Opposite-Side Reset: Reset only the opposite side when a valid signal fires. Best for ongoing trend tracking.
Decay Reset: Gradually reduce CUSUM values toward zero with a decay factor each bar. Maintains trend memory but allows slow “forgetting.”
Threshold Reset: Reset only if CUSUM returns below a small threshold (10 % of H). Filters noise without full wipe.
No Reset / Continuous: Never reset; instead track running totals. Long-term cumulative bias measurement.
Conflict Handling : Method of handling conflicting signals.
Ignore Both: Discards both when overlap occurs.
Prioritize Latest: Chooses the direction implied by the most recent close.
Prioritize Stronger: Compares absolute magnitudes of CU Price vs CL Price.
Average Resolve: Looks at the difference; small overlap → ignore, otherwise pick direction by sign.
Sequential Confirm: Requires N consecutive same-direction signals before confirmation.
Volume Parameters (Optional)
Amplification Factor
Adjusts volume sensitivity and effectively rescales the log series of volume to a comparable magnitude with price changes.
Since price and volume are normalized in a compatible way, the amplification factor is used instead of independent K and H values for volume.
Bollinger Bands (Optional)
Lookback Synchronization
BB Lookback (for CUSUM): Number of bars that define a window for the BB signal to look back for the CUSUM signal.
CUSUM Lookback (for BB): Number of bars that define a window for the CUSUM signal to look back for the BB signal.
Both can be enabled for stricter alignment.
Relationship Between K, H, ARL₀ and ARL₁
H (max) is usually the only H you need to adjust. With everything else being constant, increasing either K or H (max) generally increases both ARL₀ and ARL₁ : higher thresholds reduce false alarms but slow detection, and lower thresholds do the opposite.
Increase Min Target ARL ratio →
ARL₀ increases (safer, fewer false alarms)
ARL₁ decreases or stays small (faster detection)
Control limits slightly expand to achieve separation
Strategy becomes more selective and stable
Decrease Min Target ARL ratio →
ARL₀ decreases (more false alarms tolerated)
ARL₁ increases (slower detection tolerated)
Control limits tighten
Strategy becomes more sensitive but lower quality
The ARL Ratio of ARL₀ / ARL₁ is typically between 3 and 8. This implies you want your ARL₀ (false-alarm interval) ≈ 'Min Target ARL ratio' × differenced price length window.
Example:
"Min Target ARL ratio = 4.0"
⇒ implies you want your ARL₀ (false-alarm interval) ≈ 4 × differenced price length.
Assume price length = 50 (typical differencing window).
ARL ratio = 4.0 → target ARL = 4 × 50 = 200 bars.
● On a 6-hour chart (≈4 bars/day) → ~50 days between expected false alarms (on average).
● On a daily chart → ~200 trading days between false alarms (very conservative).
ARL ratio = 8.0 → target ARL = 400 bars → twice as infrequent signals vs ratio=4.
ARL ratio = 2.0 → target ARL = 100 bars → about half the inter-signal interval.
Another way to think about it: probability of a false alarm on any bar ≈ 1 / target ARL. If you want ~1% of bars producing alarms, target ARL ≈ 100.
QUICK START
Start with the defaults.
Set price series → length/order/lag
Configure CUSUM thresholds → K, H min/max
1. Adjust the price differencing lag/window.
2. Verify that it captures real price inflection points without overreacting to bar noise.
Enable optional filters → Volume, ATR, BB
The optional Bollinger Bands squeeze usually works best if used with CUSUM Input Mode = Txfrm Data.
Monitor CUSUM chart → CU Price, CL Price, thresholds, zero line
Act on signals → data window / chart triangles
Adjust sensitivity → H (max), K, lengths
Monitor ARL ratio and CUSUM behavior for fine-tuning
Note : When you’ve finalized the length, lag, and order of the Price Difference, as well as the Ln(Vol) Series of “Confirm Price with Volume” if enabled, then pass both through the Augmented Dickey–Fuller (ADF) mean reversion test to ensure they are stationary, i.e., mean reverting. You can find a ready-made indicator for such use at . Many thanks to tbtkg for this indicator.

Volume vs Range Imbalance DetectorDescription :-
Concept :-
This indicator is designed to identify "Effort vs. Result" anomalies in the market using Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) concepts. It highlights specific candles where high trading activity (Volume) is occurring, but the price movement (Range) is restricted. This behavior often signals the presence of heavy absorption by buyers or sellers ("Smart Money" activity) before a potential reversal or continuation.
How It Works :-
The script combines two distinct methods of volume analysis into a single view
1. Structural Imbalance (Lime & Red Signals)
This logic detects major market anomalies by comparing the current candle against a 50-period average context.
The Logic: A signal is generated if the Volume is significantly higher than the average (default 1.618x the 50 SMA) AND the Price Range is significantly smaller than the average (default 1.272x the 50 ATR).
Lime Candle/Dot (Bullish Absorption): Massive volume with small range, closing in the upper 50% of the bar. This suggests sellers are dumping, but buyers are absorbing all orders, preventing the price from dropping.
Red Candle/Dot (Bearish Blockade): Massive volume with small range, closing in the lower 50% of the bar. This suggests buyers are pushing, but sellers are absorbing the demand, preventing the price from rising.
2. Hidden Activity (Orange Signals)
This logic is more sensitive and compares the current candle only to the previous candle.
The Logic: A signal is generated if the current Volume is higher than the previous bar's volume, but the current Range is smaller than the previous bar's range.
Orange Candle/Dot: This indicates "Churn." Effort is increasing, but the result (movement) is decreasing. It is often an early warning sign of congestion or a pending breakout.
Visual Guide
Lime Dot (Below Bar): Strong Buying Pressure (Bullish Imbalance).
Red Dot (Above Bar): Strong Selling Pressure (Bearish Imbalance).
Orange Dot (Above Bar): Hidden Activity / Churn (Warning).
Settings
Context Length: The lookback period for the moving averages (Default: 50).
Volume/Range Multipliers: Determine how strict the "Imbalance" signals are. Higher numbers result in fewer, more significant signals.
Show Hidden Activity: Toggle the orange signals on or off.

Yivgeny Decision ScoreYivgeny Decision Score is a technical indicator that provides two objective scores (0–10) to support trading decisions:
ENTRY Score – evaluates the quality of a potential entry
HOLD Score – evaluates whether to hold or exit an existing position
The score is based on trend direction (SMA150), EMA20 behavior, volume confirmation, MACD momentum, breakout or bounce signals, and price action structure.
Designed for discretionary traders who want a clear, rule-based decision aid without automatic buy/sell signals.
Relative VolumeSimple relative volume indicator.
Relative Volume (RVOL) on is a technical indicator that compares an asset's current trading volume to its historical average for that specific time of day, helping traders spot unusual activity, confirm trends, or find potential reversals by showing if volume is significantly higher (green/buzzing) or lower (red/flat) than normal. It's popular for intraday analysis, identifying "in-play" tickers, and gauging market conviction.

Estrategia Timing SMA 10 de Faber Introduction This strategy is based on the classic trend-following logic popularized by Meb Faber in his white papers (such as "A Quantitative Approach to Tactical Asset Allocation") and frequently discussed by financial analyst José Luis Cárpatos. The core philosophy is simple but effective: stay in the market during uptrends to capture growth, and move to cash during downtrends to protect capital from major drawdowns.
This is a long-term "Timing" strategy designed for investors who want to filter out market noise and focus on the primary macro trend.
How it Works The strategy utilizes a specific Moving Average on a Monthly timeframe to determine the trend direction.
The Indicator: A 10-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) calculated on the Monthly timeframe (1M).
Long Condition: When the Monthly Close price is above the 10-Month SMA, the strategy enters a Long position (Risk On).
Exit Condition (Cash): When the Monthly Close price falls below the 10-Month SMA, the strategy closes the position and stays in Cash (Risk Off). It does not open short positions; it simply exits the market to preserve capital.
Key Features (Multi-Timeframe) This script has been coded using request.security to force the calculation on Monthly data (1M), regardless of the chart timeframe you are currently viewing.
This allows you to view the strategy on a Daily or Weekly chart while ensuring the mathematical logic remains strictly bound to the Monthly moving average.
The SMA line will appear "stepped" on lower timeframes (e.g., Daily), representing the constant value of the SMA for that specific month.
Settings
Length: Default is 10 (representing 10 Months), but this can be adjusted if you wish to test other periods (e.g., 12 months).
Source: Defaults to close.
Visuals
Blue Line: Represents the 10-Month SMA.
Background Color:
Green: Indicates the strategy is currently Long (Price > SMA).
Red/Grey: Indicates the strategy is in Cash (Price < SMA).
Important Note on Backtesting & Repainting Because this strategy requests Monthly data on lower timeframes (like Daily), please be aware that the current month's data is dynamic. The signal is technically confirmed only at the close of the monthly bar. When viewing on a Daily chart, the script evaluates the relationship between the current price and the current monthly SMA.

Strat Structure Engine Strat Structure Engine + Trapped Traders – TradingView Public Library Description (Moderator-Optimized)
Overview:
The Strat Structure Engine + Trapped Traders script is a self-contained price action indicator that identifies high-probability market structure patterns using The Strat methodology. It integrates bar-based structure, volatility (ATR), and volume analysis to detect potential reversals, exhaustion points, and trapped trader scenarios directly on the chart. Unlike generic indicators, it grades signals for reliability and visual clarity, providing actionable insight for traders.
Originality and Purpose:
This script is original because it combines multiple structure-based patterns into a single, coherent system:
3-Bar → Failed 2 (3→F2) – A tiered scoring system evaluates the strength of a strict 3-bar structure followed by a Failed 2 bar.
2-Bar → Failed 2 (2→F2, A+ only) – Filters only the strongest 2-bar setups followed by a Failed 2 for high-confidence reversal signals.
Failed 2 → Failed 2 (Dragon’s Tail / F2→F2) – Detects consecutive Failed 2 bars in opposite directions, signaling trapped traders and quick reversals.
Each pattern is evaluated using objective criteria: bar range relative to ATR, Failed 2 close relative to the preceding structure, body-to-range ratio, and volume spikes compared to recent averages. The combination of multiple patterns with tiered scoring and volume confirmation is unique and cannot be reproduced by simply merging standard indicators.
Signal Evaluation and Scoring:
1. 3→F2 (Tiered Scoring)
Criteria:
3-bar range vs ATR
Failed 2 close relative to 3-bar midpoint
Body-to-range ratio
Volume vs recent SMA
Tier Grades: A+, A, B, —
Purpose: Helps traders prioritize high-confidence reversal setups while filtering out weaker signals.
2. 2→F2 (A+ Only)
Evaluates strict 2-bar structures followed by a Failed 2 bar.
Displays only the strongest A+ setups to reduce noise.
3. F2→F2 (Dragon’s Tail)
Detects consecutive Failed 2 bars in opposite directions.
Highlights trapped trader zones and potential rapid reversals.
Volume and Volatility Integration:
ATR normalization ensures bar ranges are contextualized to market volatility.
SMA volume averaging confirms unusual activity, filtering signals with low participation.
This ensures signals are structurally valid and contextually significant.
Chart and Visual Clarity:
Labels are color-coded (green for bullish, red for bearish) and include tier/score for easy interpretation.
Only confirmed patterns are labeled, avoiding clutter or ambiguous markings.
Works on standard candlestick charts (does not use Heikin Ashi, Renko, or Range bars), ensuring realistic and reliable signals.
Customization and Alerts:
Toggle each pattern on/off: 3→F2, 2→F2, F2→F2
Adjust ATR length and volume average period per instrument or timeframe.
Alerts available for all patterns for bar-close confirmation, enabling real-time monitoring or integration with trading systems.
Practical Trading Use:
Identify exhaustion points, trapped traders, and reversals.
Can be used alongside VWAP, liquidity zones, fair value gaps, and session extremes for enhanced entry and exit decisions.
Focus on A+ / A tier signals for execution; use B-tier signals for context or partial entries.
Designed for multiple instruments (equities, futures, Forex) and adaptable across timeframes.
Compliance and Risk Notes:
Signals are historical, not predictive.
Follow proper risk management and do not rely solely on indicator signals.
Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Does not use request.security() with lookahead; all signals are confirmed on bar close.
✅ Key Advantages:
Fully self-contained, original methodology.
Multi-pattern integration with tiered scoring for reliability.
Volume and ATR confirmation reduces noise and false signals.
Clean, uncluttered chart output that is easy to read and interpret.
This version explicitly addresses moderation points:
Originality: explains why the mashup is necessary and unique.
Usefulness: shows exactly how traders can use it.
Chart clarity: confirms labels are meaningful, non-redundant, and easy to read.
Signal realism: bars are confirmed, no lookahead used.

Daily Percentage Oscillator### Daily Percentage Oscillator – Indicator Description
The **Daily Percentage Oscillator** transforms intraday price action into a clean, normalized percentage-based view, using the previous trading day's closing price as the fixed 0% baseline. Each new trading day automatically resets the axis to that prior close, allowing you to visualize true daily price oscillation without the distortion of absolute price levels or cumulative trends.
Key features:
- **Percentage-based OHLC display**: All bars or candlesticks represent percentage change from the previous day’s close, creating a consistent oscillation around the 0% line.
- **Daily reset**: The baseline updates every session, making it ideal for intraday traders focusing on relative strength, mean reversion, or daily momentum patterns.
- **Toggle between bars and candlesticks**: Choose your preferred visual style.
- **Simple Moving Average (SMA)**: Optional SMA applied directly to the percentage close values (default 20-period, fully customizable).
- **Daily-resetting VWAP**: Volume-Weighted Average Price calculated on the percentage series, resetting at the start of each trading day for precise intraday anchoring.
- **Clean presentation**: No clutter from scale labels or status line values — only the essential visuals appear in the pane.
This indicator is particularly useful for:
- Comparing intraday momentum across different assets or timeframes on equal footing.
- Identifying overbought/oversold conditions relative to the prior close.
- Enhancing mean-reversion and range-bound trading strategies.
- Overlaying percentage-based anchors (SMA, VWAP) that respect the daily session structure.
Works on any intraday timeframe (1m, 5m, 15m, etc.) and is designed to stay lightweight and responsive. Perfect for day traders and scalpers seeking a clearer, more intuitive view of daily price behavior.

Candle Boxes (Border + Midline + Open level)📦 Candle Boxes (Border + Midline + Open Level)
Candle Boxes is a visual multi-timeframe (HTF) tool designed to display higher-timeframe candle structure directly on a lower-timeframe chart.
It helps traders understand HTF context without constantly switching between timeframes.
🔍 What this indicator displays
For each HTF candle, the indicator draws:
HTF Box
Top = HTF High
Bottom = HTF Low
Horizontal span = full HTF candle duration
Border color
Bullish HTF candle → bullish color
Bearish HTF candle → bearish color
Midline (50%) – optional
Exact midpoint of the HTF range: (High + Low) / 2
HTF Open level – optional
Horizontal line at the HTF candle open price
All elements are drawn without background fill to keep the chart clean and readable.
⏱ Multi-Timeframe logic
HTF is selected using the HTF (box timeframe) input
Data is retrieved via request.security() with no repainting
Levels update only while the HTF candle is forming
Once the HTF candle closes, its box and lines remain fixed
🧠 Intended use
This indicator is designed for:
visualizing higher-timeframe context on lower charts
analyzing HTF structure without changing timeframe
supporting:
support & resistance analysis
price action studies
intraday and swing trading context
This tool does not generate buy/sell signals and is not a trading strategy.
⚙️ Settings
HTF & history
HTF (box timeframe) – higher timeframe used to build boxes
Keep last HTF boxes – number of most recent HTF boxes to keep
used to comply with TradingView object limits
the script automatically removes the oldest boxes and lines
Visual options
Border (on/off, width, transparency, colors)
Midline (on/off, colors, transparency)
HTF Open line (on/off, color, width, transparency)
⚠️ Important notes
TradingView enforces strict limits on drawn objects (boxes and lines)
This indicator is optimized to:
display as much historical data as technically possible
automatically manage and delete older objects
Higher HTF → fewer boxes visible in history
Lower HTF → more boxes, faster object-limit usage
🔁 Suggested Timeframe Combinations
This indicator is designed to work best when the selected HTF is significantly higher than the chart timeframe.
Below are practical, commonly used combinations:
Intraday trading
Chart: 5m → HTF: 1H
Chart: 15m → HTF: 4H
Useful for identifying higher-timeframe structure during active trading sessions.
Swing trading
Chart: 30m → HTF: 4H
Chart: 1H → HTF: Daily
Helps visualize major HTF ranges and key levels while managing trades over multiple days.
Higher-timeframe analysis
Chart: 1H → HTF: Weekly
Chart: 4H → HTF: Weekly
Best suited for understanding broader market context, range behavior, and HTF price positioning.
General guideline
A 4× to 8× ratio between chart timeframe and HTF is usually a good starting point
Larger ratios provide cleaner structure but fewer visible boxes
Smaller ratios provide more detail but consume object limits faster
These combinations are guidelines only and can be adjusted based on personal trading style and market conditions.

Harmonic Liquidity Waves [JOAT]Harmonic Liquidity Waves
Overview
Harmonic Liquidity Waves is an open-source oscillator indicator that combines multiple volume-based analysis techniques into a unified liquidity flow framework. It integrates VWAP calculations, Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), Money Flow Index (MFI), and Klinger Volume Oscillator (KVO) with custom harmonic wave calculations to provide a comprehensive view of volume dynamics and money flow.
What This Indicator Does
The indicator calculates and displays:
Liquidity Flow - Volume-weighted price movement accumulated over a lookback period
Harmonic Wave - Multi-depth smoothed oscillator derived from liquidity flow
Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) - Classic accumulation/distribution indicator
Money Flow Index (MFI) - Volume-weighted RSI showing buying/selling pressure
Klinger Volume Oscillator (KVO) - Trend-volume relationship indicator
Wave Interference - Combined constructive/destructive wave patterns
Volume Profile POC - Point of Control from simplified volume distribution
How It Works
The core liquidity flow calculation tracks volume-weighted price changes:
calculateLiquidityFlow(series float vol, series float price, simple int period) =>
float priceChange = ta.change(price)
float volumeFlow = vol * math.sign(priceChange)
// Accumulated over period using buffer array
float avgFlow = flowSum / period
avgFlow
The harmonic oscillator applies multi-depth smoothing:
harmonicOscillator(series float flow, simple int depth, simple int period) =>
float harmonic = 0.0
for i = 1 to depth
float wave = ta.ema(flow, period * i) / i
harmonic += wave
harmonic / depth
CMF measures accumulation/distribution using the Money Flow Multiplier:
float mfm = ((close - low) - (high - close)) / (high - low)
float mfv = mfm * vol
float cmf = ta.sum(mfv, period) / ta.sum(vol, period) * 100
Signal Generation
Liquidity shift signals occur when:
Bullish Shift: Smoothed wave crosses above signal line
Bearish Shift: Smoothed wave crosses below signal line
Strong signals require volume indicator confirmation:
Strong Bull: Bullish shift + CMF > 0 + MFI > 50 + KVO > 0
Strong Bear: Bearish shift + CMF < 0 + MFI < 50 + KVO < 0
Divergence detection compares price pivots with liquidity wave pivots to identify potential reversals.

Identify accumulation/distribution phases using CMF and wave direction
Confirm momentum with MFI overbought/oversold readings
Watch for divergences between price and liquidity flow
Use strong signals when multiple volume indicators align
Timeframe Recommendations
Best on 15m to Daily charts. Volume-based indicators require sufficient trading activity for meaningful readings.
Limitations
Volume data quality varies by exchange and instrument
Divergence detection uses pivot-based lookback and may lag
Volume Profile POC is simplified and not a full profile analysis

Open Interest Weighted Average Price [Arjo]Open Interest Weighted Average Price , or OIWAP , is a simple visual indicator that shows the average price of an asset based on changes in open interest .
Instead of using trading volume like VWAP, this indicator gives more weight to prices where new futures contracts are being added or removed . This helps highlight the price levels where traders are actively building or closing positions.
The indicator shows:
A main line that represents the average price weighted by open interest changes.
Upper and lower bands (standard deviation bands) that show how far the price moves away from this average.
OIWAP is mainly useful for NSE futures markets , where open interest data is available. It helps traders visually understand where most market participation and positioning are taking place relative to price .
Concepts:
Applies statistical concepts, including weighted averaging and standard deviation, to open interest data
Uses the absolute change in open interest as a weighting factor for each price point
Creates a dynamic average that reflects where significant open interest activity has occurred during a given period
Standard deviation bands are computed from this weighted average to show the statistical spread of prices around the OIWAP line
Resets calculations based on user-selected time periods (daily, weekly, monthly, or session-based)
Allows for fresh analysis at regular intervals
Similar concept to volume-weighted average price (VWAP) indicators, but uses open interest changes as the weighting component
Features:
Weighted Average: Calculates a central line based on contract activity.
Flexible Anchors: Allows users to choose the reset period for the calculation.
Volatility Bands: Displays outer and mid-bands to visualize price stretches.
Data Check: Built-in alerts notify you if Open Interest data is missing for a symbol.
Visual Zones: Color-coded areas help identify price location at a glance.
How To Use
When you add the indicator to your chart, you will see:
A main OIWAP line — the open-interest-weighted price level
Mid-bands around the line (±0.5 standard deviations)
Outer bands farther away (±2.0 standard deviations)
Shaded background zones between these lines
You can:
Change the reset period to see how the average behaves over different time ranges
Adjust the timeframe for open-interest data
Turn mid-bands on or off
Adjust colors and styles to improve readability
Conclusion
The OIWAP indicator serves as an educational tool for visualizing the relationship between price movements and open interest activity in futures markets
Presents a weighted average price line along with statistical deviation bands
Offers a structured framework for chart analysis
Customizable settings allow users to adapt the display to their analytical preferences
Maintains focus on visual interpretation rather than directional predictions
Functions as a supplementary charting overlay that may complement other forms of technical and fundamental analysis

LTF Distribution Analyzer█ OVERVIEW
LTF Distribution Analyzer reveals the hidden price distribution and order flow within each candle by sampling lower timeframe data. It visualizes where prices concentrated, how volume was distributed between buyers and sellers, and identifies divergences between price action and actual market participation.
Unlike traditional candlesticks showing only OHLC, this indicator exposes the statistical structure of price movement using quartile-based visualization combined with delta analysis.
█ CONCEPTS
The indicator is built on two core concepts:
1 — Statistical Price Distribution
Each candle contains many lower timeframe bars. By analyzing these bars, we calculate:
• Q1 (25th percentile) - 25% of prices traded below this level
• Q3 (75th percentile) - 75% of prices traded below this level
• Median - The middle price value
• IQR (Interquartile Range) - The Q3-Q1 spread containing 50% of all prices
2 — Volume Delta Analysis
Delta measures buying vs selling pressure:
• Delta = Buy Volume − Sell Volume
• Positive delta = More aggressive buying
• Negative delta = More aggressive selling
• Delta Ratio normalizes this as a percentage
█ HOW IT WORKS
The indicator fetches lower timeframe data using request.security_lower_tf() and processes it to create a statistical summary:
Step 1: Timeframe Calculation
• Auto mode: Chart timeframe ÷ Auto Divisor = LTF
• Example: 1H chart ÷ 1000 = ~3.6 second sampling
• Manual mode: User-specified timeframe
Step 2: Data Collection
• Collects all close prices from LTF bars within current candle
• Aggregates volume by candle direction (bullish/bearish)
Step 3: Statistical Analysis
• Calculates quartiles (Q1, Q3), median, and boundaries
• Identifies outliers using 1.5× and 3× IQR fences
• Finds Volume POC (price with highest volume)
Step 4: Delta Calculation
• Sums buy volume (from bullish LTF bars)
• Sums sell volume (from bearish LTF bars)
• Computes delta ratio for color determination

█ COLOR SYSTEM
Colors indicate the relationship between candle direction and order flow:
🟢 TEAL (Positive Flow)
Bullish candle + Positive delta
→ Strong buying confirmation
→ Trend continuation signal
🔴 RED (Negative Flow)
Bearish candle + Negative delta
→ Strong selling confirmation
→ Trend continuation signal
🟠 ORANGE (Mixed Signal A)
Bullish candle + Negative delta
→ Price up but sellers dominated
→ Potential weakness/reversal warning
🔵 BLUE (Mixed Signal B)
Bearish candle + Positive delta
→ Price down but buyers dominated
→ Potential accumulation/reversal signal

█ HOW TO USE
1. Divergence Detection
Look for color mismatches:
• Orange bars in uptrend = weakness, potential reversal
• Blue bars in downtrend = strength, potential reversal
• Multiple consecutive divergent bars strengthen signal
• Wait for confirmation before entry
2. Volume POC Trading
• POC marks where most volume traded
• POC clusters at similar levels = strong S/R zone
• Price often returns to POC before continuing
• Use POC for entry/exit targeting
3. Trend Confirmation
• Consecutive teal = strong uptrend
• Consecutive red = strong downtrend
• Median position shows intrabar momentum
• Wide boxes indicate high volatility
4. Outlier Analysis
• Extreme markers (▲▼) often mark stop hunts
• Consider fading extremes at key levels
• Mild markers (△▽) = areas to watch
█ RECOMMENDED SETTINGS
For different chart timeframes:
│ Chart TF │ Auto Divisor │ Resulting LTF │
├──────────┼──────────────┼───────────────┤
│ 15M │ 1500 │ ~1M │
│ 1H │ 1000 │ ~3-4s │
│ 4H │ 600 │ ~24s │
│ Daily │ 500 │ ~2-3M │
Tip: Check the TF badge to confirm active sampling timeframe.
█ BEST PRACTICES
Do:
✓ Use "Bars" chart style for cleanest display
✓ Combine with support/resistance analysis
✓ Wait for confirmation bars
✓ Note POC clusters across multiple bars
✓ Adjust divisor based on your timeframe
Avoid:
✗ Trading single bar signals alone
✗ Using during low volume periods
✗ Trading immediately after news releases
✗ Ignoring overall market context
█ LIMITATIONS
• Requires adequate market liquidity for reliable signals
• Sub-minute timeframes need Premium subscription
• Historical data depth depends on TradingView's data availability
• Delta calculation assumes volume direction matches candle direction
█ NOTES
This indicator works best on liquid markets (forex majors, major indices, popular stocks/crypto) where volume data is meaningful.
The gray dotted vertical line marks where LTF data becomes available - bars before this line won't display the indicator.

SMC-Clean v5 [BOS + OB + FVG]SMC-Clean v5 is a clean and lightweight Smart Money Concepts indicator designed to visualize market structure, Order Blocks, and Fair Value Gaps in a clear and non-repainting way.
The indicator automatically identifies Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) using pivot-based structure logic, helping traders understand trend continuation and potential reversals. Bullish and bearish structures are clearly marked on the chart for quick visual interpretation.
It also detects Bullish and Bearish Order Blocks based on strong displacement candles filtered by ATR. Order Blocks are drawn as zones and are automatically removed once mitigated, keeping the chart clean and relevant.
Additionally, the script highlights Fair Value Gaps (FVG) using a three-candle imbalance model, filtered by minimum ATR size. These gaps can be used for pullback entries, mean reversion, and confluence with structure and Order Blocks.
SMC-Clean v5 is designed to be minimal, fast, and practical. It works on all markets and timeframes and is best used as a market structure and context tool, not as a standalone signal system. The script can be further customized and expanded into advanced SMC models.
