Zero Lag/Exponential MA Cloud (EMA or ZLEMA+Kalman) w/Buy/SellZero Lag/Exponential MA Cloud (EMA or ZLEMA+Kalman) is a three–moving average trend and structure tool that combines a dual-layer cloud with optional Buy/Sell tags. It plots a Fast, Medium, and Long moving average and shades the space between them to make trend direction and momentum easy to read at a glance. The default source is OHLC4 (the average of open, high, low, and close), which often produces smoother, more stable signals than using close alone.
Each moving average can be calculated two different ways: standard EMA or a “ZLEMA + Kalman” mode. EMA is the classic exponential moving average. ZLEMA (Zero-Lag EMA) is a real technique designed to reduce lag by de-lagging the input before running the EMA, using the form EMA(2×src − src , length) where lag is approximately (length−1)/2. In this script, the ZLEMA input is first passed through an adaptive Kalman-style filter (based on Ehlers optimal tracking filter concepts). That filter adjusts its smoothing in real time using a ratio of “signal” (smoothed price change) to “noise” (true range), producing an adaptive alpha: it reacts faster in cleaner trends and smooths more in choppy conditions. The result is a fast-moving average that stays readable instead of becoming jagged.
The cloud is split into two zones: one between the Fast and Medium MAs, and another between the Medium and Long MAs. Cloud color is driven by the overall regime defined by Fast vs Long. When Fast is above Long, the Fast→Medium zone is lime and the Medium→Long zone is green. When Fast is below Long, the Fast→Medium zone is red and the Medium→Long zone is maroon. Cloud transparency is adjustable, and the MA lines can be shown or hidden (Fast line is lime, Medium is orange, Long is blue).
Signals are optional and configurable. You can choose where Buy tags appear and where Sell tags appear independently using two dropdowns: Buy appears on and Sell appears on . A tag prints only when the candle close flips sides relative to the selected MA (below→above prints Buy, above→below prints Sell), which prevents repeated labels from printing on every bar. “Confirm Bars” keeps the same behavior you’re used to: set it to 1 for immediate printing on the flip candle, or set it to 2+ to require N consecutive closes on the new side before a tag prints, reducing whipsaw at the cost of later signals.
Key settings (minimal):
* MA Type per line: EMA or ZLEMA + Kalman
* Cloud Transparency (0–100) and Show/Hide lines
* Buy appears on / Sell appears on (Fast/Med/Long/None)
* Confirm Bars (1 = immediate, 2+ = filtered)
This indicator is best used as a visual trend framework (cloud regime + structure) with signals acting as optional “side flip” alerts on whichever MA level you consider your trigger line (fast for responsiveness, medium for balance, long for confirmation).

NQ 2026 Strategic Levels + Market MemoryTitle: NQ Strategic Levels 2026: Volume Profile & Market Memory
Description: This indicator plots the critical institutional levels for NQ (Nasdaq-100) heading into 2026. It is designed to help traders visualize the "Market Structure" map based on the 2025 yearly volume profile and key historical events.
How it Works: The script projects three dynamic "Zones" and three fixed "Historical Markers" to the right of your chart. It does not clutter the past price action; it focuses on future price discovery.
1. The 2026 Active Zones (Boxes):
🛑 Resistance (Supply Zone): Derived from the "Trapped Buyers" of late 2025. This is where overhead supply is likely to cause profit-taking.
⚖️ The Pivot (Equilibrium): Based on the Q4 2025 High Volume Node (HVN). This is the "Line in the Sand." Above this zone, the weekly bias is Bullish. Below it, the bias shifts to Bearish/Correction.
💰 The Buy Zone (Support): The Yearly Value Area Low (VAL). This represents the strongest institutional support and a high-probability area for "Buy the Dip" programs.
2. The 2025 Market Memory (Dashed Lines):
Triple Witch Liquidity: The December 2025 rejection high.
AI Summer Breakout: The key breakout level from mid-2025 that flipped from resistance to support.
Tariff Scare Floor: The macro bottom established during the volatility of April 2025.
How to Use:
Trend Followers: Watch the Pivot Zone. If price holds above it, target the Resistance Zone.
Mean Reversion Traders: Look for rejections at the Resistance Zone or bounces at the Buy Zone.
Risk Management: Use the Historical Markers as invalidated points or profit targets.
Disclaimer: These levels are based on volume analysis and historical price action. Not financial advice. Trade at your own risk.

GC HOD / LOD Time ZonesGC HOD / LOD Time Zones (Daily Open Anchored)
This indicator highlights statistically significant intraday time windows in COMEX Gold futures (GC) where the High-of-Day (HOD) and Low-of-Day (LOD) most frequently form, based on intraday historical analysis.
All zones are anchored to the daily session open, ensuring that each highlighted window is interpreted in context of the current trading day, not prior sessions. The indicator displays these zones across historical data, allowing traders to study recurring behavior and validate edge over time.
Color Logic
Red Zones — Time windows where HOD most commonly forms
Blue Zones — Time windows where LOD most commonly forms
Purple Zones — Overlapping windows where both HOD and LOD have historically occurred, indicating heightened volatility and extreme-formation risk
Key Characteristics
Uses Central Time (CT) for all time calculations
Based on 1-minute intraday research of GC futures
Anchored to the daily candle open for session relevance
Displays past and present zones for historical study
Time-based only — no directional bias is implied
Intended Use
This indicator is designed to provide time-based context, not trade signals. It is best used alongside:
Higher-timeframe bias
Liquidity and session analysis
Volatility expansion or contraction models
Fractal, CPI, or macro-event frameworks
The zones identify when price is most likely to establish an intraday extreme — not whether price will move up or down.

Goldilocks Pivot FractalsGOLDILOCKS PIVOT FRACTALS - DESCRIPTION
Overview
Goldilocks Pivot Fractals identifies swing highs and lows using fractal pattern recognition with professional visual presentation. This indicator marks potential reversal points where price creates distinct peaks and valleys - perfect pivot points for support, resistance, and market structure analysis.
The "Goldilocks" name reflects the perfectly balanced visual presentation: not too cluttered, not too plain, just right for professional traders. Unlike standard fractal indicators, this edition features fully customizable Buy/Sell labels with tick-based positioning, independent toggle controls, and a high-contrast color scheme optimized for both dark and light chart themes.
What Makes It Unique:
- Professional label system with full customization (colors, sizes, tick-based offsets)
- Toggle labels and arrow shapes independently
- High-contrast default colors (teal/maroon) optimized for maximum visibility
- Clean, trader-friendly interface with intuitive settings
- Works flawlessly on all timeframes and instruments
How to Use
PERIOD ADJUSTMENT & ADJUSTING SENSITIVITY
The Period(s) setting controls how many signals you see:
• Period = 2 (default): Shows more signals, catches smaller price swings - best for day trading and scalping
• Period = 3-4: Shows medium amount of signals, filters out tiny moves - good for swing trading (holding days to weeks)
• Period = 5 or higher: Shows fewer signals, only the biggest turning points - best for long-term position trading
- Simple rule: Lower number = more signals. Higher number = fewer, but stronger signals.
SIGNALS
🟢 "BUY Label" (Down Fractal)
- Marks swing lows and potential support zones
- Look for price bouncing up after the fractal forms
- Use for identifying pullback entry points in uptrends
- Place stops below recent BUY fractals
🔴 "SELL Label" (Up Fractal)
- Marks swing highs and potential resistance zones
- Look for price rejecting down after the fractal forms
- Use for identifying profit targets or short entries
- Place stops above recent SELL fractals
REPAINTING BEHAVIOR
⚠️ This indicator repaints by design. Fractals require N bars on both sides to confirm, so they appear N bars after the actual pivot point. This is normal and ensures accurate pivot identification. Wait for complete confirmation before trading.
TRADING APPLICATIONS
1. Support/Resistance: Mark key price levels for entries and exits
2. Market Structure: higher BUY fractals = uptrend, lower SELL fractals = downtrend
3. Stop Placement: Use recent fractals as logical stop-loss levels
4. Breakout Trading: Monitor price breaking above/below fractal levels
5. Trend Following: Enter on pullbacks to BUY fractals in uptrends
6. Swing Trading: Identify major swing points for position entries
CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS
• Show BUY/SELL Labels**: Toggle professional text labels on/off
• Show Shapes: Toggle arrow shapes independently
• Offset (ticks): Adjust label distance from price bars for perfect positioning
• Colors: Customize backgrounds (default: teal/maroon) and text (default: white/yellow)
• Label Size: Choose from tiny, small, normal, large, or huge
The high-contrast default colors provide excellent visibility without adjustment, but full customization is available to match any chart theme.
Key Settings
Periods (n) (default: 2): Number of bars on each side of pivot. Lower = more signals, Higher = fewer, stronger signals

MoBo Bands - Momentum Breakout IndicatorDESCRIPTION
MoBo Bands (Momentum Breakout Bands) is a volatility-based breakout detection indicator that helps traders identify potential momentum shifts in the market. The indicator uses dynamic bands calculated from standard deviation to signal when price breaks above or below established ranges, indicating potential bullish or bearish momentum changes.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
KEY FEATURES
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
- Dynamic upper and lower bands based on standard deviation
- Color-coded bands that change based on breakout direction (green for bullish, red for bearish)
- Visual breakout arrows marking entry points above/below bands
- Optional colored fill zones between bands showing current momentum state
- Customizable displacement for band projection
- Built-in alert system for breakout and breakdown signals
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW IT WORKS
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
The indicator calculates a middle line using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) with upper and lower bands positioned using standard deviation multipliers. When price closes above the upper band, a bullish breakout (green) is signaled. When price closes below the lower band, a bearish breakdown (red) is signaled. The bands and fill zones remain colored until the opposite signal occurs, providing clear visual confirmation of the current momentum state.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
CUSTOMIZABLE INPUTS
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
CALCULATION PARAMETERS:
- Price Source - Select which price data to use (default: close)
- Length - Period for SMA and standard deviation calculation (default: 10)
- Num Dev Up - Standard deviation multiplier for upper band (default: 0.8)
- Num Dev Down - Standard deviation multiplier for lower band (default: -0.8)
- Displace - Shift bands forward for projection analysis (default: 0)
DISPLAY OPTIONS:
- Colored Mobo - Enable/disable color-coded bands
- Colored Fill - Enable/disable fill zones between bands
- Break Arrows - Show/hide breakout and breakdown arrows
ALERT OPTIONS:
- Show Alerts - Enable/disable alert conditions
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
USAGE GUIDE
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Watch for price to close outside the bands as potential breakout signals:
BULLISH BREAKOUT: Green arrow appears below the lower band when price closes above the upper band, indicating upward momentum shift.
BEARISH BREAKDOWN: Red arrow appears above the upper band when price closes below the lower band, indicating downward momentum shift.
The bands also serve as dynamic support and resistance levels. When bands are green, momentum is bullish. When bands are red, momentum is bearish.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
BEST PRACTICES
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
- This indicator works well on liquid futures contracts (MNQ, MES, MYM, MGC, MCL) and major
currency pairs across multiple timeframes
- Lower deviation values (0.5-1.0) produce more frequent signals suitable for scalping
- Higher deviation values (1.5-2.5) filter for stronger breakouts ideal for swing trading
- Combine with volume indicators for additional confirmation
- Use with momentum oscillators to validate breakout strength
- Best results in trending market conditions
- Consider the overall market context and trend direction
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ALERT CONFIGURATION
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Configure custom alerts for automated notifications:
- "MoBo BreakOUT" - Triggers on bullish breakout signals
- "MoBo BreakDOWN" - Triggers on bearish breakdown signals
Set alerts to "Once Per Bar Close" for confirmed signals and avoid false triggers during bar development.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
IDEAL FOR
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
- Day traders and scalpers on futures markets
- Swing traders looking for momentum shifts
- Breakout trading strategies
- Trend following systems
- Works on stocks, forex, crypto, and commodities
- Effective across multiple timeframes (1min to daily)
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Perfect for traders seeking clear visual breakout signals with minimal lag. The color-coded system and arrow markers make it easy to identify momentum changes at a glance.

IronRod Trigger SystemIRONROD TRIGGER SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
IronRod Trigger System is a momentum oscillator based on the Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) that identifies trend changes, momentum shifts, and range-bound "chop" zones. Features color-changing SMI lines, histogram columns showing momentum strength, and a visual chop zone that highlights when to trade versus when to stay on the sidelines.
The system combines momentum direction (green/red lines), momentum strength (histogram columns), and market context (chop zone cloud) into one clean visual package. The dynamic zero line changes color to signal trade conditions (cyan) versus hold conditions (orange).
What Makes It Unique:
Dual color-changing lines (SMI and AvgSMI) show momentum direction
Histogram columns display momentum strength
Chop zone cloud identifies low-momentum periods
Dynamic zero line (cyan = trade, orange = hold)
Three-color histogram (green = strong up, red = strong down, gray = weak)
Adjustable chop zone threshold
How to Use
THE DISPLAY
Lines:
Green = bullish momentum (rising)
Red = bearish momentum (falling)
Gray = neutral/sideways
Histogram Columns:
Green = strong bullish momentum
Red = strong bearish momentum
Gray = weak/choppy momentum
Zero Line:
Cyan (blue) = trade zone - momentum is directional
Orange = chop zone - momentum is weak, avoid trading
Chop Zone Cloud:
Gray shaded area = range where momentum is indecisive (±30 default)
TRADING STRATEGIES
1. Chop Zone Trading
Trade: Only when SMI is outside gray cloud AND zero line is cyan
Avoid: When SMI is inside cloud OR zero line is orange
Long: Green line appears above chop zone
Short: Red line appears below chop zone
This is the key feature - dramatically reduces whipsaws
2. Zero Line Crosses
Buy: SMI crosses above zero with cyan zero line
Sell: SMI crosses below zero with cyan zero line
Strongest signals when AvgSMI follows SMI across zero
Ignore crosses when zero line is orange (choppy)
3. Histogram Strength
Strong trend: Multiple consecutive green/red columns
Momentum building: Columns getting taller
Momentum fading: Columns turning gray = exit warning
Reversal signal: Gray columns after strong trend
4. Divergence Trading
Bearish divergence: Price higher high, SMI lower high → take red line signal
Bullish divergence: Price lower low, SMI higher low → take green line signal
Most powerful outside chop zone
ENTRIES & EXITS
Entries:
SMI line turns green outside chop zone (long)
SMI line turns red outside chop zone (short)
SMI crosses zero with cyan zero line
Exits:
SMI line changes color
SMI enters chop zone (orange zero line)
Histogram turns gray
Stops:
Below recent swing low (longs)
Above recent swing high (shorts)
ADJUSTING SETTINGS
Chop Zone (±) (default: 30):
Lower (15-25) = More trades, more whipsaws
Higher (35-50) = Fewer trades, higher quality
Adjust based on instrument volatility
Percent K Length (default: 5):
Lower (3-4) = More sensitive, faster signals - good for scalping
Higher (7-10) = Less sensitive, smoother - good for swing trading
Percent D Length (default: 4): Controls smoothing
SMI Bar Buffer (default: 4): Histogram color sensitivity
TIMEFRAME GUIDE
Scalping (1-5m): K=3, watch histogram color flips
Day trading (15-60m): Default settings, focus on zero crosses outside chop
Swing trading (4H-Daily): K=7-10, trade only strong trends outside chop
Key Settings
Percent K Length (default: 5): Lookback period - controls sensitivity
Percent D Length (default: 4): Smoothing period
Chop Zone (±) (default: 30): Range-bound zone threshold
SMI Bar Buffer (default: 4): Histogram color change sensitivity
Histogram Width (default: 1): Column thickness
Key Features
✅ Dual color-changing momentum lines
✅ Histogram columns show strength
✅ Chop zone cloud filters bad trades
✅ Dynamic zero line color
✅ Three-color histogram
✅ Adjustable chop threshold
✅ All timeframes
✅ Reduces whipsaws
Fractal Market Geometry [JOAT]
Fractal Market Geometry
Overview
Fractal Market Geometry is an open-source overlay indicator that combines fractal analysis with harmonic pattern detection, Fibonacci retracements and extensions, Elliott Wave concepts, and Wyckoff phase identification. It provides traders with a geometric framework for understanding market structure and identifying potential reversal patterns with multi-factor signal confirmation.
What This Indicator Does
The indicator calculates and displays:
Fractal Detection - Identifies fractal highs and lows using Williams-style pivot analysis with configurable period
Fractal Dimension - Calculates market complexity using range-based dimension estimation
Harmonic Patterns - Detects Gartley, Butterfly, Bat, Crab, Shark, Cypher, and ABCD patterns using Fibonacci ratios
Fibonacci Retracements - Key levels at 38.2%, 50%, and 61.8%
Fibonacci Extensions - Projection level at 161.8%
Elliott Wave Count - Simplified wave counting based on pivot detection (1-5)
Wyckoff Phase - Volume-based phase identification (Accumulation, Markup, Distribution, Neutral)
Golden Spiral Levels - ATR-based support and resistance levels using phi (1.618) ratio
Trend Detection - EMA crossover trend identification (20/50 EMA)
How It Works
Fractal detection uses a configurable period to identify swing points:
detectFractalHigh(simple int period) =>
bool result = true
float centerVal = high
for i = 0 to period - 1
if high >= centerVal or high >= centerVal
result := false
break
Harmonic pattern detection uses Fibonacci ratio analysis between swing points. Each pattern has specific ratio requirements:
Gartley: AB 0.382-0.618, BC 0.382-0.886, CD 1.27-1.618
Butterfly: AB 0.382-0.5, BC 0.382-0.886, CD 1.618-2.24
Bat: AB 0.5-0.618, BC 1.13-1.618, CD 1.618-2.24
Crab: AB 0.382-0.618, BC 0.382-0.886, CD 2.24-3.618
Shark: AB 0.382-0.618, BC 1.13-1.618, CD 1.618-2.24
Cypher: AB 0.382-0.618, BC 1.13-1.414, CD 0.786-0.886
Wyckoff phase detection analyzes volume relative to price movement:
wyckoffPhase(simple int period) =>
float avgVol = ta.sma(volume, period)
float priceChg = ta.change(close, period)
string phase = "NEUTRAL"
if volume > avgVol * 1.5 and math.abs(priceChg) < close * 0.02
phase := "ACCUMULATION"
else if volume > avgVol * 1.5 and math.abs(priceChg) > close * 0.05
phase := "MARKUP"
else if volume < avgVol * 0.7
phase := "DISTRIBUTION"
phase
Signal Generation
Signals use multi-factor confirmation for accuracy:
BUY Signal: Fractal low + Uptrend (EMA20 > EMA50) + RSI 30-55 + Bullish candle + Volume confirmation
SELL Signal: Fractal high + Downtrend (EMA20 < EMA50) + RSI 45-70 + Bearish candle + Volume confirmation
Pattern Detection: Label appears when harmonic pattern completes at current bar

Fibonacci Extension - Horizontal line at 161.8% extension level
Golden Spiral Levels - Support and resistance lines based on ATR x 1.618
3D Fractal Field - Optional depth layers around swing levels (OFF by default)
Harmonic Pattern Markers - Small diamond shapes when Crab, Shark, or Cypher patterns detected
Pattern Labels - Text label showing pattern name when detected
Signal Labels - BUY/SELL labels on confirmed multi-factor signals
Input Parameters
Fractal Period (default: 5) - Bars on each side for fractal detection
Geometry Depth (default: 3) - Complexity of geometric calculations
Pattern Sensitivity (default: 0.8) - Tolerance for pattern ratio matching
Show Fibonacci Levels (default: true) - Display retracement levels
Show Fibonacci Extensions (default: true) - Display extension level
Elliott Wave Detection (default: true) - Enable wave counting
Wyckoff Analysis (default: true) - Enable phase detection
Golden Spiral Levels (default: true) - Display spiral support/resistance
Show Fractal Points (default: true) - Display fractal markers
Show Geometry Lines (default: true) - Display connecting lines
Show Pattern Labels (default: true) - Display pattern name labels
Show 3D Fractal Field (default: false) - Display depth layers
Show Harmonic Patterns (default: true) - Display pattern markers
Show Buy/Sell Signals (default: true) - Display signal labels
Suggested Use Cases
Identify potential reversal zones using harmonic pattern completion
Use Fibonacci levels for entry, stop-loss, and target planning
Monitor Wyckoff phases for accumulation/distribution awareness
Track Elliott Wave counts for trend structure analysis
Use fractal dimension to gauge market complexity
Wait for multi-factor signal confirmation before entering trades
Timeframe Recommendations
Best on 1H to Daily charts. Lower timeframes produce more fractals but with less significance. Higher timeframes provide stronger levels and more reliable signals.
Limitations
Harmonic pattern detection uses simplified ratio ranges and may not match all textbook definitions
Elliott Wave counting is basic and does not include all wave rules
Wyckoff phase detection is volume-based approximation
Fractal dimension calculation is simplified
Signals require fractal confirmation which has inherent lag equal to the fractal period

Asia & London Session High / Low (CT) BY Grid & Grit ChartingThis indicator draws Asia and London session highs/lows in Central Time (CT) and optionally shades each session with a box, so you can see where overnight liquidity was built and then carried forward into NY. In the settings, you can toggle Show Asia Session and Show London Session to enable/disable each session’s tracking and plotting entirely. For each session you can customize the High/Low line colors (Asia High Color / Asia Low Color, London High Color / London Low Color), the line width (Asia Line Width, London Line Width), and the line style (Solid/Dashed/Dotted) so you can visually prioritize London over Asia if you want. The session times are adjustable via Asia Session (CT) (default 6:00 PM–2:00 AM CT) and London Session (CT) (default 2:00 AM–8:00 AM CT). The Show Session Boxes toggle controls whether a translucent box is drawn only during each active session; box appearance is controlled by Asia Box Color and London Box Color (these colors already include opacity, so you can make them faint or more visible). The Show Labels toggle controls whether “Asia H/L” and “London H/L” labels are printed at session end; label text color is controlled by Label Text Color. Mechanically: during each session the script continuously updates that session’s running high/low; when the session ends, it draws fresh horizontal lines that extend to the right (carry forward) and it deletes the prior session’s lines/labels to prevent clutter, while boxes stop at the session end so NY stays clean.
