Bollinger Bands Delta Matrix Analytics [BDMA] Bollinger Bands Delta Matrix Analytics (BDMA) v7.0
Deep Kinetic Engine – 5x8 Volatility & Delta Decision Matrix
1. Introduction & Concept
Bollinger Bands Delta Matrix Analytics (BDMA) v7.0 is an analytical framework that merges:
- Spatial analysis via Bollinger Bands (%B location),
- with a 4-factor Deep Kinetic Engine based on:
• Total Volume
• Buy Volume
• Sell Volume
• Delta (Buy – Sell) Z-Scores
and converts them into an expanded 5×8 decision matrix that continuously tracks where price is trading and how the underlying orderflow is behaving.
BDMA is not a trading system or strategy. It does not generate entry/exit signals.
Instead, it provides a structured contextual map of volatility, volume, and delta so traders can:
- identify climactic extensions vs. fakeouts,
- distinguish strong initiative moves vs. passive absorption,
- and detect squeezes, traps, and liquidity voids with a unified visual dashboard.
2. Spatial Engine – Bollinger S-States (S1–S5)
The spatial dimension of BDMA comes from classic Bollinger Bands.
Price location is expressed as Percent B (%B) and mapped into 5 spatial states (S-States):
S1 – Hyper Extension (Above Upper Band)
Price has pushed beyond the upper Bollinger Band.
Often associated with parabolic or blow-off behavior, late-stage momentum, and elevated reversal risk.
S2 – Resistance Test (Upper Zone)
Price trades in the upper Bollinger region but remains inside the bands.
Represents a sustained test of resistance, typically within an established or emerging uptrend.
S3 – Neutral Zone (Middle)
Price hovers around the mid-band.
This is the mean reversion gravity field where the market often consolidates or transitions between regimes.
S4 – Support Test (Lower Zone)
Price trades in the lower Bollinger region but inside the bands.
Represents a sustained test of support within range or downtrend structures.
S5 – Hyper Drop (Below Lower Band)
Price extends below the lower Bollinger Band.
Often aligned with panic, forced liquidations, or capitulation-type behavior, with increased snap-back risk.
These 5 S-States define the vertical axis (rows) of the BDMA matrix.
3. Deep Kinetic Engine – 4-Factor Z-Score & D-States (D1–D8)
The Deep Kinetic Engine transforms raw volume and delta into standardized Z-Scores to measure how abnormal current activity is relative to its recent history.
For each bar:
- Raw Buy Volume is estimated from the candle’s position within its range
- Raw Sell Volume is complementary to buy volume
- Raw Delta = Buy Volume – Sell Volume
- Total Volume = Buy Volume + Sell Volume
These 4 series are then normalized using a unified Z-Score lookback to produce:
1. Z_Vol_Total – overall activity and liquidity intensity
2. Z_Vol_Buy – aggression from buyers (attack)
3. Z_Vol_Sell – aggression from sellers (defense or attack)
4. Z_Delta – net victory of one side over the other
Thresholds for Extreme, Significant, and Neutral Z-Score levels are fully configurable, allowing you to tune the sensitivity of the kinetic states.
Using Z_Vol_Total and Z_Delta (plus threshold logic), BDMA assigns one of 8 Deep Kinetic states (D-States):
D1 – Climax Buy
Extreme Total Volume + Extreme Positive Delta → Buying climax or blow-off behavior.
D2 – Strong Buy
High Volume + High Positive Delta → Confirmed bullish initiative activity.
D3 – Weak Buy / Fakeout
Low Volume + High Positive Delta → Bullish delta without commitment, low-liquidity breakout risk.
D4 – Absorption / Conflict
High Volume + Neutral Delta → Aggressive two-way trade, strong absorption, war zone behavior.
D5 – Neutral
Low Volume + Neutral Delta → Low-energy environment with low conviction.
D6 – Weak Sell / Fakeout
Low Volume + High Negative Delta → Bearish delta without commitment, low-liquidity breakdown risk.
D7 – Strong Sell
High Volume + High Negative Delta → Confirmed bearish initiative activity.
D8 – Capitulation
Extreme Volume + Extreme Negative Delta → Panic selling or capitulation regime.
These 8 D-States define the horizontal axis (columns) of the BDMA matrix.
4. The 5×8 BDMA Decision Matrix
The core of BDMA is a 5×8 matrix where:
- Rows (1–5) = Spatial S-States (S1…S5)
- Columns (1–8) = Kinetic D-States (D1…D8)
Each of the 40 possible combinations (SxDy) is pre-computed and mapped to:
- a Status or Regime Title (for example: Climax Breakout, Bear Trap Spring, Capitulation Breakdown),
- a Bias (Climactic Bull, Neutral, Strong Bear, Conflict or Reversal Risk, and similar labels),
- and a Strategic Signal or Consideration (for example: High reversal risk, Wait for confirmation, Low probability zone – avoid).
Internally, BDMA resolves all 40 regimes so the current state can be displayed on the dashboard without performance overhead.
5. Key Regime Families (How to Read the Matrix)
5.1. Breakouts and Breakdowns
Climax Breakout (Top-side)
Spatial S1 with Kinetic D1 or D2
Bias: Explosive or Extreme Bull
Signal:
- Strong or climactic upside extension with abnormal bullish orderflow.
- Trend continuation is possible, but reversal risk is extremely high after blow-off phases.
Low-Conviction Breakout (Fakeout Risk)
S1 with D3 (Weak Buy, low liquidity)
Bias: Weak Bull – Caution
Signal:
- Breakout not supported by volume.
- Elevated risk of failed auction or bull trap.
Capitulation Breakdown (Bottom-side)
Spatial S5 with Kinetic D8
Bias: Climactic Bear (panic)
Signal:
- Capitulation-type selling or forced liquidations.
- Trend can still proceed, but snap-back or violent short-covering risk is high.
Initiative Breakdown vs. Weak Breakdown
- Strong, high-volume breakdown typically corresponds to D7 (Strong Sell).
- Low-volume breakdown often corresponds to D6 (Weak Sell or Fakeout) with potential for failure.
5.2. Absorption, Traps and Springs
Absorption at Resistance (Top-side conflict)
S1 or S2 with D4 (Absorption or Conflict)
Bias: Conflict – Extreme Tension
Signal:
- Heavy two-way trade near resistance.
- Potential distribution or reversal if sellers begin to dominate.
Bull Trap or Failed Auction
Typically S1 with D6 (Weak Sell breakdown behavior after a top-side attempt)
Indicates a breakout attempt that fails and reverses, often after poor liquidity structure.
Absorption at Support and Bear Trap (Spring)
S4 or S5 with D4 or D3
Bias: Conflict or Weak Bear – Reversal Risk
Signal:
- Aggressive buying into lows (spring or shakeout behavior).
- Potential bear trap if price reclaims lost territory.
5.3. Trend Phases
Strong Uptrend Phases
Typically seen when S2–S3 combine with strong bullish kinetic behavior.
Bias: Strong or Extreme Bull
Signal:
- Pullbacks into S3 or S4 with supportive kinetic states often act as trend continuation zones.
Strong Downtrend Phases
Typically seen when S3–S4 combine with strong bearish kinetic behavior.
Bias: Strong or Extreme Bear
Signal:
- Rallies into resistance with strong bearish kinetic backing may act as continuation sell zones.
5.4. Neutral, Exhaustion and Squeeze
Exhaustion or Liquidity Void
S1 or S5 with D5 (Neutral kinetics)
Bias: Neutral or Exhaustion
Signal:
- Spatial extremes without kinetic confirmation.
- Often marks the end of a move, with poor follow-through.
Choppy, Low-Activity Range
S3 with D5
Bias: Neutral
Signal:
- Low volume, low conviction market.
- Typically a low-probability environment where standing aside can be logical.
Squeeze or High-Tension Zone
S3 with D4 or tightly clustered kinetic values
Bias: Conflict or High Tension
Signal:
- Hidden battle inside a volatility contraction.
- Often precedes large directionally-biased moves.
6. Dashboard Layout & Reading Guide
When Show Dashboard is enabled, BDMA displays:
1. Title and Status Line
Name of the current regime (for example: Climax Breakout, Bear Trap Spring, Mean Reversion).
2. Bias Line
Plain-language summary of directional context such as Climactic Bull, Strong Bear, Neutral, or Conflict and Reversal Risk.
3. Signal or Strategic Notes
Concise guidance focused on risk and context, not entries. For example:
- High reversal risk – aggressive traders only
- Wait for confirmation (break or rejection)
- Low probability zone – avoid taking new positions
4. Kinetic Profile (4-Factor Z-Score)
Shows the current Z-Scores for Total Volume (Activity), Buy Volume (Attack), Sell Volume (Defense), and Delta (Net Result).
5. Matrix Heatmap (5×8)
Visual representation of S-State vs. D-State with color coding:
- Bullish clusters in a green spectrum
- Bearish clusters in a red spectrum
- Conflict or exhaustion zones in yellow, amber, or neutral tones
The dashboard can be repositioned (top right, middle right, or bottom right) and its size can be adjusted (Tiny, Small, Normal, or Large) to fit different layouts.
7. Inputs & Customization
7.1. Core Parameters (Bollinger and Z-Score)
- Bollinger Length and Standard Deviation define the spatial engine.
- Z-Score Lookback (All Factors) defines how many bars are used to normalize volume and delta.
7.2. Deep Kinetic Thresholds
- Extreme Threshold defines what is considered climactic (D1 or D8).
- Significant Threshold distinguishes strong initiative vs. weak or fakeout behavior.
- Neutral Threshold is the band within which delta is treated as neutral.
These thresholds allow you to tune the sensitivity of the kinetic classification to fit different timeframes or instruments.
7.3. Calculation Method (Volume Delta)
Geometry (Approx)
- Fast, non-repainting approach based on candle geometry.
- Suitable for most users and real-time decision-making.
Intrabar (Precise)
- Uses lower-timeframe data for more precise volume delta estimation.
- Intrabar mode can repaint and requires compatible data and plan support on the platform.
- Best used for post-analysis or research, not blind automation.
7.4. Visuals and Interface
- Toggle Bollinger Bands visibility on or off.
- Switch between Dark and Light color themes.
- Configure dashboard visibility, matrix heatmap display, position, and size.
8. Multi-Language Semantic Engine (Asia and Middle East Focus)
BDMA v7.0 includes a fully integrated multi-language layer, targeting a wide geographic user base.
Supported Languages:
English, Türkçe, Русский, 简体中文, हिन्दी, العربية, فارسی, עברית
All dashboard labels, regime titles, bias descriptions, and signal texts are dynamically translated via an internal dictionary, while semantic meaning is kept consistent across languages.
This makes BDMA suitable for multi-language communities, study groups, and educational content across different regions.
However, due to the heavy computational load of the Deep Kinetic Engine and TradingView’s strict Pine Script execution limits, it was not possible to expand support to additional languages. Adding more translation layers would significantly increase memory usage and exceed runtime constraints. For this reason, the current language set represents the maximum optimized configuration achievable without compromising performance or stability.
9. Practical Usage Notes
BDMA is most powerful when used as a contextual overlay on top of market structure (HH, HL, LH, LL), higher-timeframe trend, key levels, and your own execution framework.
Recommended usage:
- Identify the current regime (Status and Bias).
- Check whether price location (S-State) and kinetic behavior (D-State) agree with your trade idea.
- Be especially cautious in climactic and absorption or conflict zones, where volatility and risk can be elevated.
Avoid treating BDMA as an automatic green equals buy, red equals sell tool.
The real edge comes from understanding where you are in the volatility or kinetic spectrum, not from forcing signals out of the matrix.
10. Limitations & Important Warnings
BDMA does not predict the future.
It organizes current and recent data into a structured context.
Volume data quality depends on the underlying symbol, exchange, and broker feed.
Forex, crypto, indices, and stocks may all behave differently.
Intrabar mode can repaint and is sensitive to lower-timeframe data availability and your plan type.
Use it with extra caution and primarily for research.
No indicator can remove the need for clear trading rules, disciplined risk management, and psychological control.

RSI cyclic smoothed ProCyclic Smoothed Relative Strength Indicator - Pro Version
The cyclic smoothed RSI indicator is an enhancement of the classic RSI, adding
additional smoothing according to the market vibration,
adaptive upper and lower bands according to the cyclic memory and
using the current dominant cycle length as input for the indicator.
The cRSI is used like a standard indicator. The chart highlights trading signals where the signal line crosses above or below the adaptive lower/upper bands. It is much more responsive to market moves than the basic RSI.
The indicator uses the dominant cycle as input to optimize signal, smoothing and cyclic memory. To get more in-depth information on the cyclic-smoothed RSI indicator, please read Chapter 4 "Fine tuning technical indicators" of the book "Decoding the Hidden Market Rhythm, Part 1" available at your favorite book store.
Info: Pro Version
This is the actively maintained and continuously enhanced edition of my free, open-source indicator “RSI Cyclic Smoothed v2” which was recognized with a TradingView Editors’ Pick. The Pro Version will remain fully up to date with the latest Pine Script standards and will receive ongoing refinements and feature improvements, all while preserving the core logic and intent of the original tool. The legacy version will continue to be available for code review and educational purposes, but it will no longer receive updates. The legacy open-source version is here
Pro Features V1:
1) Leveraging multi-timeframe analysis
Indicator can be used on one chart by using different time frames at the same time. Read more on TradingView here .
2) Scoring feature added for scanning and filtering
This indicator now provides four distinct scoring states for both bullish and bearish conditions, making it fully compatible with the TradingView Screener .
Each score reflects a specific market phase based on RSI behavior, slope, and crossover signals.
Bullish States (Positive Scores)
+1 – Bull Exhaustion: Price is above the upper threshold and still rising (upsloping).
+2 – Bull Fatigue: Price is above the upper threshold but losing momentum (downsloping).
+3 – Bull Exit: A fresh downward crossover has occurred.
+4 – Recent Bull Exit: A downward crossover occurred within the recent lookback window.
Bearish States (Negative Scores)
–1 – Bear Exhaustion: Price is below the lower threshold and still declining (downsloping).
–2 – Bear Fatigue: Price is below the lower threshold but starting to turn upward (upsloping).
–3 – Bear Exit: A fresh upward crossover has occurred.
–4 – Recent Bear Exit: An upward crossover occurred within the recent lookback window.
The scoring states are shown in the indicator status panel when plotting the indicator on the chart. For a Screener run, use a generic cycle length setting.
How to determine the current active cycle length?
You can use the following additional tools to fine-tune the current dominant cycle length:
1. The advanced dyanmic Cycle Spectrum Scanner
2. The free Detremded Market Rhythm Oscillator

Confirmation FilterConfirmation Filter – BOS + Follow-Through
Confirmation Filter is a structure tool that only marks validated shifts in price delivery, not every break of structure.
The script:
Builds swing structure from pivots
Identifies the swing low that carried the last bullish leg and the swing high that carried the last bearish leg
Waits for a close through that key swing (your usual BOS)
Then requires follow-through:
Bearish: within N bars, price makes a new low below the break candle’s low
Bullish: within N bars, price makes a new high above the break candle’s high
Only when this follow-through occurs does the indicator print a Confirmation Bullish / Confirmation Bearish line from the originating swing.
Why use it
Filters out many “one-bar” fake BOS moves
Highlights only those breaks that actually extend in the same direction
Keeps the chart clean by tracking a single confirmed state at a time
Inputs
Pivot length – sensitivity of swing detection
Line extension bars – how far the confirmation level is projected
Max bars for follow-through – window (in bars) within which price must extend beyond the break candle
Show labels – toggle on-chart text tags
Best used together with your own BOS / structure tools:
BOS = first break
Confirmation Filter = breaks that proved themselves with follow-through.

DTR Volume TrendDTR Volume Trend is a volume-based oscillator designed to measure trend strength, momentum shifts, and mean-reversion opportunities using volume-weighted price data. The indicator analyzes recent volume profiles, VWAP deviation, and smoothed signals to create a responsive oscillator that adapts to market conditions.
Key Features:
- Volume-weighted oscillator based on VWAP and volume distribution.
- Mean reversion mode to detect when price deviates strongly from its volume-weighted average.
- Adaptive midline that adjusts automatically to recent oscillator behavior.
- Bull and bear zones that highlight potential exhaustion or reversal areas.
- Fast and slow signal lines to show momentum changes through crossovers.
- Optional bar coloring to highlight bullish or bearish conditions on the chart.
How to Use:
- When the oscillator is above the midline, momentum tends to be bullish.
- When it is below the midline, momentum tends to be bearish.
- Upper zones may indicate overbought or exhaustion levels.
- Lower zones may indicate oversold or accumulation levels.
- Crossovers between fast and slow signals can highlight early trend or momentum shifts.
Best For:
- Trend confirmation
- Mean-reversion strategies
- Identifying momentum changes
- Spotting volume-driven extremes
Relative Strength Heatmap [BackQuant]Relative Strength Heatmap
A multi-horizon RSI matrix that compresses 20 different lookbacks into a single panel, turning raw momentum into a visual “pressure gauge” for overbought and oversold clustering, trend exhaustion, and breadth of participation across time horizons.
What this is
This indicator builds a strip-style heatmap of 20 RSIs, each with a different length, and stacks them vertically as colored tiles in a single pane. Every tile is colored by its RSI value using your chosen palette, so you can see at a glance:
How many “fast” versus “slow” RSIs are overbought or oversold.
Whether momentum is concentrated in the short lookbacks or spread across the whole curve.
When momentum extremes cluster, signalling strong market pressure or exhaustion.
On top of the tiles, the script plots two simple breadth lines:
A white line that counts how many RSIs are above 70 (overbought cluster).
A black line that counts how many RSIs are below 30 (oversold cluster).
This turns a single symbol’s RSI ladder into a compact “market pressure gauge” that shows not only whether RSI is overbought or oversold, but how many different horizons agree at the same time.
Core idea
A single RSI looks at one length and one timescale. Markets, however, are driven by flows that operate on multiple horizons at once. By computing RSI over a ladder of lengths, you approximate a “term structure” of strength:
Short lengths react to immediate swings and very recent impulses.
Medium lengths reflect swing behaviour and local trends.
Long lengths reflect structural bias and higher timeframe regime.
When many lengths agree, for example 10 or more RSIs all above 70, it suggests broad participation and strong directional pressure. When only a few fast lengths stretch to extremes while longer ones stay neutral, the move is more fragile and more likely to mean-revert.
This script makes that structure visible as a heatmap instead of forcing you to run many separate RSI panes.
How it works
1) Generating RSI lengths
You control three parameters in the calculation settings:
RS Period – the base RSI length used for the shortest strip.
RSI Step – the amount added to each successive RSI length.
RSI Multiplier – a global scaling factor applied after the step.
Each of the 20 RSIs uses:
RSI length = round((base_length + step × index) × multiplier) , where the index goes from 0 to 19.
That means:
RSI 1 uses (len + step × 0) × mult.
RSI 2 uses (len + step × 1) × mult.
…
RSI 20 uses (len + step × 19) × mult.
You can keep the ladder dense (small step and multiplier) or stretch it across much longer horizons.
2) Heatmap layout and grouping
Each RSI is plotted as an “area” strip at a fixed vertical level using histbase to stack them:
RSI 1–5 form Group 1.
RSI 6–10 form Group 2.
RSI 11–15 form Group 3.
RSI 16–20 form Group 4.
Each group has a toggle:
Show only Group 1 and 2 if you care mainly about fast and medium horizons.
Show all groups for a full spectrum from very short to very long.
Hide any group that feels redundant for your workflow.
The actual numeric RSI values are not plotted as lines. Instead, each strip is drawn as a horizontal band whose fill color represents the current RSI regime.
3) Palette-based coloring
Each tile’s color is driven by the RSI value and your chosen palette. The script includes several palettes:
Viridis – smooth green to yellow, good for subtle reading.
Jet – strong blue to red sequence with high contrast.
Plasma – purple through orange to yellow.
Custom Heat – cool blues to neutral grey to hot reds.
Gray – grayscale from white to black for minimalistic layouts.
Cividis, Inferno, Magma, Turbo, Rainbow – additional scientific and rainbow-style maps.
Internally, RSI values are bucketed into ranges (for example, below 10, 10–20, …, 90–100). Each bucket maps to a unique colour for that palette. In all schemes, low RSI values are mapped to the “cold” or darker side and high RSI values to the “hot” or brighter side.
The result is a true momentum heatmap:
Cold or dark tiles show low RSI and oversold or compressed conditions.
Mid tones show neutral or mid-range RSI.
Warm or bright tiles show high RSI and overbought or stretched conditions.
4) Bull and bear breadth counts
All 20 RSI values are collected into an array each bar. Two counters are then calculated:
Bull count – how many RSIs are above 70.
Bear count – how many RSIs are below 30.
These are plotted as:
A white line (“RSI > 70 Count”) for the overbought cluster.
A black line (“RSI < 30 Count”) for the oversold cluster.
If you enable the “Show Bull and Bear Count” option, you get an immediate reading of how many of the 20 horizons are stretched at any moment.
5) Cluster alerts and background tagging
Two alert conditions monitor “strong cluster” regimes:
RSI Heatmap Strong Bull – triggers when at least 10 RSIs are above 70.
RSI Heatmap Strong Bear – triggers when at least 10 RSIs are below 30.
When one of these conditions is true, the indicator can tint the background of the chart using a soft version of the current palette. This visually marks stretches where momentum is extreme across many lengths at once, not just on a single RSI.
What it plots
In one oscillator window, the indicator provides:
Up to 20 horizontal RSI strips, each representing a different RSI length.
Color-coded tiles reflecting the current RSI value for each length.
Group toggles to show or hide each block of five RSIs.
An optional white line that counts how many RSIs are above 70.
An optional black line that counts how many RSIs are below 30.
Optional background highlights when the number of overbought or oversold RSIs passes the strong-cluster threshold.
How it measures breadth and pressure
Single-symbol breadth
Breadth is usually defined across a basket of symbols, such as how many stocks advance versus decline. This indicator uses the same concept across time horizons for a single symbol. The question becomes:
“How many different RSI lengths are stretched in the same direction at once?”
Examples:
If only 2 or 3 of the shortest RSIs are above 70, bull count stays low. The move is fast and local, but not yet broadly supported.
If 12 or more RSIs across short, medium and long lengths are above 70, the bull count spikes. The move has broad momentum and strong upside pressure.
If 10 or more RSIs are below 30, bear count spikes and you are in a broad oversold regime.
This is breadth of momentum within one market.
Market pressure gauge
The combination of heatmap tiles and breadth lines acts as a pressure gauge:
High bull count with warm colors across most strips indicates strong upside pressure and crowded long positioning.
High bear count with cold colors across most strips indicates strong downside pressure and capitulation or forced selling.
Low counts with a mixed heatmap indicate neutral pressure, fragmented flows, or range-bound conditions.
You can treat the strong-cluster alerts as “extreme pressure” signals. When they fire, the market is heavily skewed in one direction across many horizons.
How to read the heatmap
Horizontal patterns (through time)
Look along the time axis and watch how the colors evolve:
Persistent hot tiles across many strips show sustained bullish pressure and trend strength.
Persistent cold tiles across many strips show sustained bearish pressure and weak demand.
Frequent flipping between hot and cold colours indicates a choppy or mean-reverting environment.
Vertical structure (across lengths at one bar)
Focus on a single bar and read the column of tiles from top to bottom:
Short RSIs hot, long RSIs neutral or cool: early trend or short-term fomo. Price has moved fast, longer horizons have not caught up.
Short and long RSIs all hot: mature, entrenched uptrend. Broad participation, high pressure, greater risk of blow-off or late-entry vulnerability.
Short RSIs cold but long RSIs mid to high: pullback in a higher timeframe uptrend. Dip-buy and continuation setups are often found here.
Short RSIs high but long RSIs low: countertrend rallies within a broader downtrend. Good hunting ground for fades and short entries after a bounce.
Bull and bear breadth lines
Use the two lines as simple, numeric breadth indicators:
A rising white line shows more RSIs pushing above 70, so bullish pressure is expanding in breadth.
A rising black line shows more RSIs pushing below 30, so bearish pressure is expanding in breadth.
When both lines are low and flat, few horizons are extreme and the market is in mid-range territory.
Cluster zones
When either count crosses the strong threshold (for example 10 out of 20 RSIs in extreme territory):
A strong bull cluster marks a broadly overbought regime. Trend followers may see this as confirmation. Mean-reversion traders may see it as a late-stage or blow-off context.
A strong bear cluster marks a broadly oversold regime. Downtrend traders see strong pressure, but the risk of sharp short-covering bounces also increases.
Trading applications
Trend confirmation
Use the heatmap and breadth lines as a trend filter:
Prefer long setups when the heatmap shows mostly mid to high RSIs and the bull count is rising.
Avoid fresh shorts when there is a strong bull cluster, unless you are specifically trading exhaustion.
Prefer short setups when the heatmap is mostly low RSIs and the bear count is rising.
Avoid aggressive longs when a strong bear cluster is active, unless you are trading reflexive bounces.
Mean-reversion timing
Treat cluster extremes as exhaustion zones:
Look for reversal patterns, failed breakouts, or order flow shifts when bull count is very high and price starts to stall or diverge.
Look for reflexive bounce potential when bear count is very high and price stops making new lows or shows absorption at the lows.
Use the palette and counts together: hot tiles plus a peaking white line can mark blow-off conditions, cold tiles plus a peaking black line can mark capitulation.
Regime detection and risk toggling
Use the overall shape of the ladder over time:
If upper strips stay warm and lower strips stay neutral or warm for extended periods, the market is in an uptrend regime. You can justify higher risk for long-biased strategies.
If upper strips stay cold and lower strips stay neutral or cold, the market is in a downtrend regime. You can justify higher risk for short-biased strategies or defensive positioning.
If colours and counts flip frequently, you are likely in a range or choppy regime. Consider reducing size or using more tactical, short-term strategies.
Multi-horizon synchronization
You can think of each RSI length as a proxy for a different “speed” of the same market:
When only fast RSIs are stretched, the move is local and less robust.
When fast, medium and slow RSIs align, the move has multi-horizon confirmation.
You can require a minimum bull or bear count before allowing your main strategy to engage.
Spotting hidden shifts
Sometimes price appears flat or drifting, but the heatmap quietly cools or warms:
If price is sideways while many hot tiles fade toward neutral, momentum is decaying under the surface and trend risk is increasing.
If price is sideways while many cold tiles climb back toward neutral, selling pressure is decaying and the tape is repairing itself.

Tuning guidance
Fast, tactical configurations
Use a small base RS Period, for example 2 to 5.
Use a small RSI Step, for tight clustering around the fast horizon.
Keep the multiplier near 1.0 to avoid extreme long lengths.
Focus on Group 1 and Group 2 for intraday and short-term trading.
Swing and position configurations
Use a mid-range RS Period, for example 7 to 14.
Use a moderate RSI Step to fan out into slower horizons.
Optionally use a multiplier slightly above 1.0.
Keep all four groups enabled for a full view from fast to slow.
Macro or higher timeframe configurations
Use a larger base RS Period.
Use a larger RSI Step so the top of the ladder reaches very slow lengths.
Focus on Group 3 and Group 4 to see structural momentum.
Treat clusters as regime markers rather than frequent trading signals.
Notes
This indicator is a contextual tool, not a standalone trading system. It does not model execution, spreads, slippage or fundamental drivers. Use it to:
Understand whether momentum is narrow or broad across horizons.
Confirm or filter existing signals from your primary strategy.
Identify environments where the market is crowded into one side.
Distinguish between isolated spikes and truly broad pressure moves.
The Relative Strength Heatmap is designed to answer a simple but powerful question:
“How many versions of RSI agree with what I am seeing on the chart?”
By compressing those answers into a single panel with clear colour coding and breadth lines, it becomes a practical, visual gauge of momentum breadth and market pressure that you can overlay on any trading framework.
Confluence Engine [BullByte]CONFLUENCE ENGINE
Multi-Factor Technical Analysis Framework
OVERVIEW
Confluence Engine is a multi-dimensional technical analysis framework that evaluates market conditions across five distinct analytical pillars simultaneously. Rather than relying on a single indicator or signal source, this tool synthesizes Structure, Momentum, Volume, Volatility, and Pattern analysis into a unified scoring system that identifies high-probability trading opportunities when multiple technical factors align.
The core philosophy behind this indicator stems from a fundamental observation: isolated signals frequently fail, but when multiple independent analytical methods agree, the probability of a successful trade increases substantially. This indicator was developed after extensive research into why traders often receive conflicting signals from different indicators on their charts, leading to analysis paralysis and poor decision-making.
THE PROBLEM AND SOLUTION
The Problem:
Most traders use multiple indicators independently, often receiving contradictory signals. One indicator says "buy" while another says "wait." This creates confusion and leads to missed opportunities, premature entries based on incomplete analysis, difficulty quantifying how strong a setup actually is, and inconsistent decision-making across different market conditions.
The Solution:
Confluence Engine addresses this by providing a single, unified score (0-100) that represents the aggregate strength of a trading setup. Instead of mentally weighing five different indicators, traders receive a clear numerical score indicating setup quality, visual tier classification (ULTRA, HIGH, STANDARD), specific identification of which factors are strong or weak, and actionable guidance on what to watch for next.
THE FIVE ANALYTICAL DIMENSIONS
Each dimension was selected because it measures a fundamentally different aspect of market behavior:
STRUCTURE ANALYSIS
Evaluates price position relative to key levels and recent swing points. Markets respect structure - previous highs, lows, and areas where price reversed. This dimension identifies when price interacts with these critical levels and measures the quality of that interaction.
What it detects: Price approaching or sweeping swing highs/lows, reclaim patterns after false breakouts, EMA alignment and trend structure, exhaustion after extended moves.
MOMENTUM ANALYSIS
Measures the underlying strength and direction of price movement. Strong moves are characterized by momentum preceding price. This dimension evaluates whether momentum supports the current price direction.
What it detects: Oversold/overbought conditions with reversal potential, momentum divergence states, directional movement strength (ADX-based), momentum shifts before price confirmation.
VOLUME ANALYSIS
Volume validates price movement. Significant moves require participation. This dimension measures current volume relative to recent averages to determine if market participants are genuinely committing to the move.
What it detects: Volume spikes confirming price action, below-average volume warning of weak moves, climactic volume at potential reversals, volume confirmation of rejection patterns.
VOLATILITY ANALYSIS
Markets alternate between compression (low volatility) and expansion (high volatility). This dimension identifies these phases and recognizes when compression is likely to resolve into directional movement.
What it detects: Volatility squeeze conditions (Bollinger inside Keltner), squeeze release direction, ATR expansion indicating breakout potential, compression duration for timing breakouts.
PATTERN ANALYSIS
Candlestick patterns reflect the battle between buyers and sellers within each bar. This dimension evaluates the quality and context of reversal and continuation patterns.
What it detects: Engulfing patterns with quality scoring, hammer and shooting star formations, rejection wicks indicating trapped traders, pattern confluence with other factors.
WHAT MAKES THIS INDICATOR ORIGINAL Not a mashup
This is NOT a mashup of indicators displayed together. The Confluence Engine represents an integrated analytical framework with the following unique characteristics:
Unified Scoring System: All five dimensions feed into a proprietary scoring algorithm that weights and combines their signals. The output is a single 0-100 score, not five separate readings.
Multi-Factor Gate: Beyond just scoring, the system requires a minimum number of factors to be "active" (meeting their individual thresholds) before allowing signals. This prevents signals based on one extremely strong factor masking four weak ones.
Regime-Aware Adjustments: The engine detects the current market regime (trending, ranging, volatile, weak) and automatically adjusts factor weights and score multipliers. A structure signal means something different in a trending market versus a ranging market.
Adaptive Risk Management: Take-profit and stop-loss levels are not static. They adapt based on current volatility, market regime, and signal quality - providing tighter targets in low-volatility environments and wider targets when volatility expands.
Liquidity Sweep Detection: A distinctive feature that identifies when price has swept beyond a swing high/low and then reclaimed back inside. This pattern often indicates stop hunts followed by reversals.
Signal Quality Tiers: Rather than just "signal" or "no signal," the engine classifies setups into tiers. ULTRA (80+) represents highest probability setups with all factors aligned. HIGH (70-79) represents strong setups with multiple factors confirming. STANDARD meets minimum threshold for acceptable setups.
HOW THE SCORING WORKS
Each of the five factors generates a raw score from 0-100 based on current market conditions. These raw scores are then weighted according to the selected trading style (Balanced, Scalper, Swing, Range, Trend), adjusted based on current market regime detection, modified by higher timeframe alignment (if enabled), bonused when multiple factors exceed their activation thresholds simultaneously, and multiplied by session factors (if session filter is enabled).
The result is a final Bull Score and Bear Score, each ranging from 0-100, representing the current strength of long and short setups respectively.
Signal Generation Requirements:
- Score meets minimum threshold (configurable: 60-95)
- Required number of factors are "active" (default: 3 of 5)
- Market regime is not blocked (if blocking enabled)
- Higher timeframe alignment passes (if required)
- Cooldown period from last signal has elapsed
UNDERSTANDING THE DASHBOARDS
Main Dashboard (Top Right)
The main dashboard displays real-time scores and market context:
LONG Score - Current bullish setup strength (0-100) with quality tier displayed
SHORT Score - Current bearish setup strength (0-100) with quality tier displayed
Regime - Current market state showing TREND UP, TREND DN, VOLATILE, RANGE, or WEAK
HTF - Higher timeframe alignment showing BULL, BEAR, NEUT, or OFF
Squeeze - Volatility state showing SQZ (in squeeze), REL+ (bullish release), REL- (bearish release), or NORM
Gate - Factor count versus requirement, for example 4/3 means 4 factors active with 3 required
Sweep L/S - Liquidity sweep status for long and short setups
ATR% - Current ATR as percentile of recent range indicating relative volatility
Vol - Current volume relative to 20-period average
R:R - Current risk-reward ratio based on adaptive TP/SL calculations
Trade - Active trade status and unrealized profit/loss percentage
Analysis Dashboard (Bottom Left)
The analysis dashboard provides actionable guidance:
Signal Readiness - Visual progress bars showing how close each direction is to generating a signal
Blocking Factors - Identifies which specific factor is weakest and preventing signals
Recommended Action - Context-aware guidance such as WATCH, WAIT, MANAGE, or SCAN
Watch For - Specific events to monitor for setup completion
Opportunity Level - Overall market opportunity rating from EXCELLENT to VERY POOR
Timing - Contextual timing guidance based on current conditions
Status Bar (Bottom Center)
Compact view displaying Long Score, Gate Status, Current State, Gate Status, and Short Score in a single row for quick reference.
Dashboard Size - Auto Mode Explained
When Dashboard Size is set to "Auto", the indicator intelligently adjusts text size based on your current chart timeframe to optimize readability:
Auto-Sizing Logic:
1-Minute to 5-Minute Charts → Tiny
- Lower timeframes show more bars on screen
- Tiny text prevents dashboard from obscuring price action
- Recommended for scalping and high-frequency monitoring
15-Minute Charts → Small
- Balanced size for intraday trading
- Readable without being intrusive
1-Hour to Daily Charts → Normal
- Standard size for most trading styles
- Optimal readability for swing trading
Weekly and Monthly Charts → Large
- Larger text for position trading
- Fewer bars visible so space is available
Manual Override:
You can override auto-sizing for any dashboard individually:
- Dashboard Size (All): Sets master size applied to all dashboards
- Main Dashboard Size: Override for top-right dashboard specifically
- Analysis Panel Size: Override for bottom-left panel specifically
- Status Bar Size: Override for bottom-center bar specifically
Example Use Case:
Trading on 5m chart (default = Tiny) but you have good eyesight and large monitor:
- Set "Dashboard Size (All)" to "Small" or "Normal" for better readability
- Individual dashboards will use your override instead of auto-sizing
Recommendation:
Start with Auto mode and only adjust if dashboards are too large or too small for your monitor/eyesight.
UNDERSTANDING SIGNAL LABELS
When a signal generates, a label appears with trade information:
Minimal Style Example:
LONG 85
Shows tier icon, direction, and score only.
Detailed Style Example:
ULTRA LONG
Score: 85
Entry: 50250.50
TP1: 50650.25
TP2: 51500.75
SL: 49850.25
R:R 1:2.5
Regime: TREND UP
HTF: BULL
Tier Icons Explained:
indicates ULTRA quality with score 80 or higher
indicates HIGH quality with score between 70 and 79
indicates STANDARD quality with score meeting minimum threshold
UNDERSTANDING TRADE ZONES
When a signal generates, visual elements appear on the chart:
Entry Line (Purple) marks the entry price level
TP1 Line (Blue Dashed) marks the first take-profit target
TP2 Line (Cyan Dashed) marks the final take-profit target
SL Line (Orange Dotted) marks the stop-loss level
Trade Zone Box shows shaded area from SL to TP2
These elements extend forward as price progresses. When TP1 is hit, its line becomes solid to indicate achievement. When the trade completes at either TP2 or SL, all elements are cleaned up and the entry label converts to a compact ghost label for historical reference.
Exit Labels Explained:
+X.XX% indicates first target reached with partial profit secured
+X.XX% indicates full target reached with maximum profit achieved
-X.XX% indicates stop-loss triggered
TP1 Hit, SL... indicates stopped out after TP1 was already hit (optional display)
OPPOSITE SIGNAL HANDLING
When market conditions shift dramatically, the engine may generate a signal in the opposite direction while an existing trade is active. This represents a significant change in confluence and is handled automatically:
Automatic Trade Reversal Process:
1. Detection: New signal triggers opposite to current trade direction (e.g., SHORT signal while LONG trade is active)
2. Current Trade Closure:
- All visual elements (entry line, TP/SL lines, trade zone) are deleted
- Current trade is marked as closed
3. Entry Label Conversion:
- The detailed entry label is converted to a compact ghost label
- Ghost label shows direction + score (e.g., "LONG 75")
- Marked with "OPP" outcome to indicate opposite signal closure
- Moved to a non-interfering position below/above price
4. New Trade Initialization:
- Fresh entry label created for new direction
- New TP1, TP2, SL levels calculated based on new signal quality
- Trade zone and price lines drawn for new trade
Example Scenario:
You enter a LONG trade at score 72. Price moves sideways for 8 bars, then market structure breaks down. Confluence shifts heavily bearish with a sweep reclaim bear + momentum + volume spike, generating a SHORT signal at score 81. The engine automatically:
- Closes the LONG trade
- Converts "LONG 72" entry label to a small ghost label
- Opens new SHORT trade at current price
- Displays new SHORT entry label with full trade details
Trading Implication:
This behavior ensures the engine is always aligned with the highest-probability direction based on current confluence. It prevents you from holding a position when all five factors have flipped against you.
Note: This does NOT happen for every small score change. The opposite signal must meet all signal generation requirements (minimum score, gate pass, regime check, HTF alignment) before triggering. Typically occurs during strong trend reversals or major support/resistance breaks.

Interpretation
The engine produced a standard short (Score 64) while the market showed elevated volume and volatility but no HTF confirmation. Although the Gate passed (3/3), Structure = 0 blocks the indicator from issuing fresh entries — this is intentional and by design: one missing factor (structure) is enough to prevent new signals even when other factors look supportive. The currently open short is being managed (partial targets and SL visible), but the system's recommendation is to manage the existing trade only and not open new shorts until structure or HTF alignment improves.
Why this example matters (teaching point)
-Gate ≠ Go: Gate pass (factor count) alone does not force fresh trades — the system enforces additional checks (structure, regime, HTF) to avoid lower-quality setups.
-Volume & Volatility are necessary but not sufficient: High volume and wide ATR create movement but do not replace structural validation.
-Active trade vs new entries: The script will continue to manage an already open trade but will not create a new signal while a blocking factor remains. This prevents overtrading and reduces false positives.
-Practical trader actions shown by the example
-Manage existing SHORT only: Trail to breakeven if TP1 is taken; scale out at TP1; hold remaining if price respects trend and structure reclaims.
-Do not add fresh positions: Wait for Structure > 0 or a HTF alignment that lifts the block.
-Watch for signals that matter: Sweep reclaim, HTF alignment turning bullish for shorts (i.e., HTF changes to BEAR), or a squeeze release with volume spike — these can clear the blocker and validate new entries.
RECOMMENDED TIMEFRAMES
For Scalping on 1m, 5m, or 15m charts: Use higher factor thresholds and shorter cooldowns. The faster pace requires stricter filtering.
For Day Trading on 15m, 30m, or 1H charts: This provides a balance of signal frequency and reliability suitable for most active traders.
For Swing Trading on 1H, 4H, or Daily charts: Expect higher quality signals with longer hold periods and fewer false signals.
For Position Trading on Daily or Weekly charts: Focus on ULTRA signals only for maximum conviction on longer-term positions.
Higher Timeframe Alignment Recommendations:
When trading 5m, use 1H as your HTF
When trading 15m, use 1H or 4H as your HTF
When trading 1H, use 4H or Daily as your HTF
When trading 4H, use Daily as your HTF
The general rule is to select an HTF that is 4 to 12 times your trading timeframe.
TRADING STYLE PRESETS
Balanced (Default)
Equal weighting across all five factors at 20% each. Suitable for most market conditions and recommended as starting point.
Scalper
Emphasizes Volume at 30% and Volatility at 30%. Designed for quick in-and-out trades on lower timeframes where immediate momentum and volatility expansion matter most.
Swing Trader
Emphasizes Structure at 30% and Momentum at 30%. Focuses on catching larger moves where trend direction and key levels are paramount.
Range Trader
Emphasizes Structure at 35% and Pattern at 25%. Optimized for sideways markets where support/resistance levels and reversal patterns dominate.
Trend Follower
Emphasizes Momentum at 40%. Designed for trending markets where staying with the dominant direction is the priority.
QUALITY MODE SETTINGS
Custom Mode
Set your own minimum score threshold. Lower thresholds between 60 and 65 generate more signals but with lower average quality. Higher thresholds of 75 or above generate fewer but higher-quality signals.
High Quality Mode
Uses minimum score of 70. Recommended for most users as it filters out marginal setups while still providing reasonable signal frequency.
Ultra Only Mode
Uses minimum score of 80 for maximum selectivity. Only the highest-conviction setups generate signals. Recommended for swing and position traders or during uncertain market conditions.
REGIME DETECTION
The engine continuously evaluates market conditions and classifies them into five states:
TREND UP
Characteristics: Strong ADX reading with EMAs aligned in bullish order
Trading Implications: Long signals receive score boost while short signals are suppressed. Momentum factor gains additional weight.
TREND DN
Characteristics: Strong ADX reading with EMAs aligned in bearish order
Trading Implications: Short signals receive score boost while long signals are suppressed. Momentum factor gains additional weight.
VOLATILE
Characteristics: High ATR percentile, wide Bollinger Bands, elevated volume
Trading Implications: Both directions remain viable but wider stops are recommended. Volume factor gains additional weight.
RANGE
Characteristics: Low ADX reading, narrow Bollinger Bands, low ATR percentile
Trading Implications: Structure signals are emphasized while momentum signals are suppressed. Pattern recognition becomes more important.
WEAK
Characteristics: Unclear or mixed conditions that do not fit other categories
Trading Implications: Reduced confidence in all signals. Consider waiting for clearer market conditions.
Filter Mode Options:
Off - Regime is detected and displayed but no score adjustments are applied
Adjust Scores - Automatically modifies factor weights based on current regime
Block Weak Regimes - Prevents signals from generating when regime is RANGE or WEAK
VOLATILITY SQUEEZE DETECTION
A volatility squeeze occurs when Bollinger Bands contract inside the Keltner Channel, indicating reduced volatility and potential energy building for a breakout.
Squeeze States Explained:
SQZ with bar count (example: SQZ 15)
Indicates currently in squeeze for the displayed number of bars. A score penalty is applied during this phase because compression represents uncertainty about direction.
REL+ (Release Bullish)
Indicates squeeze has released with price above the basis line. Score bonus is applied for long setups as this often precedes strong upward moves.
REL- (Release Bearish)
Indicates squeeze has released with price below the basis line. Score bonus is applied for short setups as this often precedes strong downward moves.
NORM (Normal)
No active squeeze detected. Standard scoring applies.
Trading Implication:
Squeeze releases often produce strong directional moves. The engine detects both the squeeze duration and the release direction, awarding bonus points to signals that align with the release. Longer squeeze duration often corresponds to more powerful breakouts.
LIQUIDITY SWEEP DETECTION
Markets often sweep beyond obvious support and resistance levels to trigger stops before reversing. The engine detects these patterns:
Bullish Sweep Reclaim
Price sweeps below recent swing low, triggering stop losses, then reclaims back above the swing low. This often indicates smart money accumulation after retail stops are collected.
Bearish Sweep Reclaim
Price sweeps above recent swing high, triggering stop losses, then reclaims back below the swing high. This often indicates smart money distribution after retail stops are collected.
Sweep Status in Dashboard:
RCL (Reclaim) - Reclaim has been confirmed. This receives highest structure score as the pattern is complete.
PND (Pending) - Sweep has occurred and price is near the level but full reclaim not yet confirmed. Watching for completion.
ACT (Active) - Sweep is currently in progress with price beyond the swing level.
Dash (-) - No sweep activity detected.
MULTI-FACTOR GATE SYSTEM
Beyond overall score, the engine counts how many individual factors meet their activation threshold.
Example Calculation:
Structure score 45 with threshold 35 equals ACTIVE
Momentum score 25 with threshold 30 equals INACTIVE
Volume score 50 with threshold 35 equals ACTIVE
Volatility score 40 with threshold 30 equals ACTIVE
Pattern score 35 with threshold 30 equals ACTIVE
Result: 4 of 5 factors are active
If minimum required factors is set to 3, this example passes the gate and receives a 4-factor bonus.
Gate Bonuses:
4 factors active adds 8 points to final score (default setting)
5 factors active adds 15 points to final score (perfect confluence)
Purpose:
This mechanism prevents scenarios where one extremely high factor score masks four weak factors. A score of 75 with only 2 active factors is less reliable than a score of 70 with 4 active factors.
ADAPTIVE RISK MANAGEMENT
Take-profit and stop-loss distances adjust dynamically based on three inputs:
Volatility Influence (default 40% weight)
Low ATR percentile produces tighter targets
High ATR percentile produces wider targets
This ensures stops are not too tight in volatile conditions or too wide in calm conditions.
Regime Influence (default 30% weight)
Trending market with aligned signal produces extended targets
Ranging market produces contracted targets
Volatile regime produces wider stops for protection
Score Influence (default 30% weight)
ULTRA signals (high conviction) receive extended targets
STANDARD signals receive standard targets
Higher conviction justifies larger profit expectations.
You can configure the weight of each influence in settings to match your trading style.
SESSION FILTER (Optional Feature)
When enabled, the engine applies score multipliers based on the trading session:
Asian Session (default 0.9x multiplier)
Characterized by lower volatility and ranging tendency. Score reduction reflects reduced opportunity.
London Session (default 1.1x multiplier)
Characterized by high volatility and trend initiation. Score boost reflects increased opportunity.
London/NY Overlap (default 1.2x multiplier)
Characterized by highest liquidity and strongest moves. Maximum score boost reflects peak trading conditions.
New York Session (default 1.05x multiplier)
Characterized by volatility but typically after initial moves have occurred.
Configure your UTC offset in settings to align session detection with your chart timezone.

AUTOMATIC SETTINGS VALIDATION
The indicator performs comprehensive validation when first loaded on a chart. If configuration errors are detected, a warning label appears on the chart with specific guidance.
Critical Errors (Prevent Signal Generation):
ULTRA threshold must exceed HIGH threshold
- Example error: HIGH = 75, ULTRA = 70
- Fix: Ensure ULTRA threshold is higher than HIGH threshold
- Default safe values: HIGH = 70, ULTRA = 80
Minimum factors cannot exceed 5
- The gate requires 3 to 5 factors (you cannot require 6 of 5 factors)
- Fix: Set minimum active factors to 3, 4, or 5
TP2 multiplier must exceed TP1 multiplier
- Example error: TP1 = 3.0 ATR, TP2 = 2.0 ATR
- Fix: Ensure TP2 (final target) is farther than TP1 (partial target)
- Default safe values: TP1 = 2.0, TP2 = 5.0
Swing lookback minimum is 3 bars
- Liquidity sweep detection requires at least 3 bars to identify swing highs/lows
- Fix: Increase swing lookback period to 3 or higher
ATR period minimum is 5 bars
- ATR calculation requires sufficient data for accuracy
- Fix: Increase ATR period to 5 or higher (14 recommended)
Higher timeframe must be larger than chart timeframe
- Example error: Trading on 1H chart with MTF set to 15m
- Fix: Select HTF that is 4-12x your chart timeframe
- Example: If trading 15m, use 1H or 4H as HTF
Warnings (Signal Generation Continues):
Score threshold below 50 generates many signals
- Lower thresholds increase signal frequency but reduce quality
- Recommendation: Use minimum 60 for active trading, 70+ for swing trading
Cooldown below 3 bars may cause signal clustering
- Very short cooldowns can produce multiple signals in quick succession
- Recommendation: Use 5+ bars for lower timeframes, 3+ for higher timeframes

DEBUG MODE AND FACTOR MARKERS
The indicator includes optional debug tools for traders who want deeper insight into the scoring mechanics and factor analysis. These features are disabled by default to keep the chart clean but can be enabled in the Debug Mode settings group.
FACTOR MARKERS
When "Show Factor Markers" is enabled, visual shapes appear on the chart indicating confluence states:
Perfect Confluence (5/5 Factors Active)
A circle appears below the bar for bullish or above the bar for bearish setups. This represents maximum confluence where all five analytical dimensions meet their activation thresholds simultaneously. A small label showing "5/5" also appears. This is a rare occurrence and typically precedes the highest quality signals. Background color shifts to highlight this exceptional alignment.
Strong Confluence (4/5 Factors Active)
A diamond shape appears below the bar for bullish or above the bar for bearish setups. This represents strong confluence with four of five factors active. A label showing "4/5" appears when this state is first achieved. This level of confluence is associated with high-quality setups.
Ready Confluence (3/5 Factors Active)
A triangle appears below the bar (pointing up) for bullish or above the bar (pointing down) for bearish setups. This represents the minimum confluence level required when gate is set to 3 factors. No label appears for this level to reduce visual clutter.
Confluence Background
When factor markers are enabled, a subtle background color appears indicating the current confluence state. Stronger colors indicate higher confluence levels. Bullish confluence shows green tints while bearish confluence shows red tints.
Purpose of Factor Markers:
These markers help traders visualize when confluence is building before a signal triggers. You might see a 4/5 diamond appear one or two bars before the actual signal, giving you advance notice that conditions are aligning. This can help with preparation and timing.
DEBUG PANEL (Bottom Right)
When any debug option is enabled, a debug panel appears in the bottom right corner of the chart providing detailed scoring information.
Score Breakdown Table
When "Show Score Breakdown" is enabled, the panel displays:
Factor column showing Structure, Momentum, Volume, Volatility, and Pattern
Bull column showing raw score (0-100) for each bullish factor
Bear column showing raw score (0-100) for each bearish factor
Weight column showing current percentage weight for each factor
Below the factor rows :
FINAL row shows the calculated final Bull and Bear scores after all adjustments
Adj row shows total adjustments applied including gate bonus, squeeze adjustment, and exhaustion adjustment with positive or negative sign
This breakdown allows you to see exactly which factors are contributing to the score and which are lagging. If you notice Structure consistently low, you know to wait for better price positioning relative to swing levels.
Regime Debug
When "Show Regime Debug" is enabled, the panel displays:
Current regime state (TREND UP, TREND DN, VOLATILE, RANGE, WEAK)
Current ADX value driving the regime classification
This helps you understand why certain score adjustments are being applied and verify the regime detection is working as expected for current market conditions.
MTF Debug
When "Show MTF Debug" is enabled, the panel displays:
Current MTF alignment status (BULL, BEAR, NEUT)
The higher timeframe being analyzed
This confirms the higher timeframe data is being read correctly and shows you the trend bias from the larger timeframe perspective.
Using Debug Mode Effectively
For Learning: Enable all debug options when first using the indicator to understand how scores are calculated and what drives signal generation.
For Optimization: Use score breakdown to identify which factors are consistently weak in your chosen market and timeframe. This can inform whether to adjust factor thresholds or switch trading styles.
For Troubleshooting: If signals seem inconsistent, enable debug to see exactly what values the engine is working with. This helps identify if a specific factor is behaving unexpectedly.
For Live Trading: Disable debug features to keep chart clean and reduce visual distraction. The main dashboards provide sufficient information for trade execution.
Debug Settings Summary:
Show Factor Markers - Displays shapes on chart when 3, 4, or 5 factors align. Useful for seeing confluence build before signals trigger.
Show Score Breakdown - Displays detailed table with all raw factor scores, weights, and adjustments. Useful for understanding exactly how final score is calculated.
Show Regime Debug - Adds regime state and ADX value to debug panel. Useful for verifying regime detection accuracy.
Show MTF Debug - Adds higher timeframe status and timeframe to debug panel. Useful for confirming MTF data is loading correctly.
PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS
On lower timeframes such as 1-minute and 5-minute charts, the indicator creates visual elements including labels, lines, and boxes that may impact performance on slower devices.
Performance Mode automatically reduces visual elements, optimizes calculation frequency, and limits historical ghost labels when enabled.
Configure Max Ghost Labels (default 50) to control how many historical signal labels are retained on the chart.
NON-REPAINTING DESIGN
Signal Integrity:
All entry and exit signals generate only on confirmed (closed) bars using barstate.isconfirmed checks. This ensures signals do not appear and disappear during bar formation.
Higher Timeframe Data:
MTF analysis uses request.security with lookahead disabled (barmerge.lookahead_off) to prevent future data from influencing current calculations.
Visual Elements:
Lines, boxes, and labels for active trades update in real-time for monitoring purposes but this visual updating does not affect signal generation logic. Entry decisions are made solely on confirmed bar data.

Pradeep Bonde (Stockbee) Momentum Pro TradingView Description for "Pradeep Bonde (Stockbee) Momentum Pro"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pradeep Bonde (Stockbee) Momentum Pro
The Complete Momentum & Episodic Pivot Trading System
Based on the proven methodology of Pradeep Bonde (Stockbee) — the legendary momentum trader and "Mentor to $100 Million Traders."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
📈 OVERVIEW
This indicator implements Stockbee's complete momentum trading system, designed to identify high-probability swing trade setups. It combines Episodic Pivots, Momentum Bursts, Anticipation Setups, and IBD-style Relative Strength analysis into a single professional tool.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🔥 KEY FEATURES
1. EPISODIC PIVOT DETECTION (EP)
The crown jewel of Stockbee's methodology:
- Detects 10%+ gaps on massive volume (2x+ average) — true catalyst-driven breakouts
- Identifies Delayed EP Breakouts — consolidation after initial gap, then secondary breakout
- Tracks days since EP for optimal entry timing
- PEAD (Post Earnings Announcement Drift) opportunities
2. MOMENTUM BURST SIGNALS
- 4%+ moves on volume 40%+ above average
- Quality filters: Requires narrow range before breakout, close near high of day
- Tiered signals: Momentum Burst → Strong Momentum → Exceptional Momentum
- "Quality" prefix (★) indicates setups with all filters passed
3. ANTICIPATION SETUP DETECTION
Pre-breakout coiling patterns:
- Detects 1-3 week tight consolidations after prior 15-25%+ advances
- Volume dry-up analysis during consolidation (< 60% of prior average)
- Anticipation score helps identify coiled springs before they break out
4. IBD-STYLE RELATIVE STRENGTH
- Custom RS Rating (1-99 scale) weighted by recent performance
- RS New High detection — signals institutional accumulation
- Weighted calculation: 40% Q1, 20% Q2, 20% Q3, 20% Q4 performance
5. BAG HOLDER PROTECTION ⚠️
Stockbee's cardinal rule: "Never buy after 3+ consecutive up days"
- Automatic detection of late entries
- Visual warnings on chart
- Quality score penalty for bag holder territory
6. EXIT SIGNAL SYSTEM
- First down day after 3+ up days = EXIT
- Close below 5-day MA trigger
- Clear visual EXIT labels on chart
Signal Thresholds:
- 🎯 PERFECT: Score ≥ 8.5 (highest probability trades)
- 💪 STRONG BUY: Score ≥ 7.5
- BUY: Score ≥ 6.5
- WATCH: Score 5.0 - 6.5
- ⚠️ LATE ENTRY: High score but in bag holder territory
- BEARISH: Score ≤ 3.0 and below trend MA
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Exit on first down day after 3+ up days
- Hold 2-5 days typically for 8-40% gains
MAGNA Criteria:
- Massive earnings (100%+ EPS/Sales growth)
- Gap up (4%+ on 100k+ pre-market volume)
- Neglected (low prior volume, minimal institutional ownership)
- Analyst upgrades
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
💡 USAGE TIPS
- For best results: Use on daily timeframe with stocks $10-$100
- Focus on: 🔥 EP and ★ (quality) signals
- Avoid: Entries showing "LATE" warning
- Combine with: Fundamental screening (EPS growth 25%+)
- Use trend filter: Prefer stocks above 50-day MA

Based on the research and methodology of Pradeep Bonde at Stockbee.com
Morning ORB FVG Trigger✅ Overview
Morning ORB FVG Trigger is a complete intraday trading framework built around:
A Morning Opening Range Breakout (ORB)
The first Fair Value Gap (FVG) after that breakout
Strict risk management and position sizing
Optional HTF trend filter (Daily / Weekly / Monthly)
Optional Daily ATR filter to avoid extreme days
The script is designed for futures / indices / FX on intraday charts up to 15 minutes and for traders who want a clean, mechanical entry framework with clear risk.
🧠 Core idea
Define a morning opening range (e.g. 09:30–09:45).
Wait for a clean breakout above/below that range.
After the breakout, wait for the first FVG in breakout direction,
confirmed by the next candle (no immediate full reclaim).
Use a chosen stop logic + R:R factor to build risk/reward boxes.
Calculate position size based on your account risk.
(Optional) Only take trades:
In the direction of the HTF EMA trend (D/W/M).
On days where the morning range is within a band of the Daily ATR.
You can also disable all signals/boxes and use the script just as a visual ORB tool.
⏰ 1. ORB / Morning Range
Inputs (Main section)
Morning Range Session
Time window of the opening range in exchange time
Example: 09:30–09:45 for a 15-minute ORB.
You can type custom ranges (e.g. 09:30–09:35 for a 5-minute ORB).
Risk/Reward (TP factor)
Multiplier for the take-profit distance relative to the stop.
2.0 = TP is 2× the stop distance
1.5 = TP is 1.5× the stop distance
Show ORB range
If enabled, draws:
ORB high/low lines
ORB labels (e.g. 15min ORB high / low)
Optional midline
Extend ORB lines to the right (bars)
How many bars to extend the ORB high/low horizontally beyond the ORB itself.
Trade box width (bars)
Horizontal width (in bars) of:
Red risk box (entry–stop)
Green reward box (entry–TP)
Implementation details
The ORB is always calculated on 1-minute data internally, so it stays precise even on 5m/15m charts.
The script only works on intraday timeframes up to 15 minutes.
📦 2. FVG Block
Group: “FVG”
Threshold %
Minimum size of an FVG in % of price.
0 = every FVG
Higher values = only larger gaps
Auto threshold (from volatility)
If enabled, the minimum FVG size is derived from historical volatility
instead of a fixed percentage.
Allow breakout FVG partly inside ORB
Off (default): the FVG must lie fully outside the ORB.
On: the breakout FVG itself may still overlap the ORB a bit,
as long as it is the first one attached to the breakout move.
Enable FVG entry signals, boxes & alerts
On: full system – FVG detection, entry labels, risk/TP boxes, alerts.
Off: no entries, no risk/TP boxes, no alerts.
You only get the ORB and (optionally) the HTF dashboard, so you can trade your own setups.
Entry mode
Entry mode (Mid / Edge / NextOpen)
Mid – Entry at the midpoint of the FVG.
Edge – Long at the upper FVG edge, short at the lower FVG edge.
NextOpen – No limit order in the gap. Entry is placed at the next bar open after FVG confirmation.
Edge offset (ticks)
Additional offset for Edge entries:
Long:
+ticks = a bit above the FVG (more conservative)
-ticks = deeper into the FVG (more aggressive)
Short:
+ticks = a bit below the FVG
-ticks = deeper into the FVG
FVG detection logic
Uses a LuxAlgo-style 3-candle FVG pattern (gap between candle 1 and 3).
Only one FVG is taken: the first valid FVG after the ORB breakout in breakup direction.
The FVG candle is the middle bar; the script:
Detects the FVG on the previous bar.
Waits for the current bar to confirm it:
Bullish: current low must stay above the lower FVG boundary
Bearish: current high must stay below the upper FVG boundary
Only then an entry signal is generated.
🛑 3. Stop Logic
Group: “Stop Logic”
Stop mode (PrevBar / Pivot / FVG Candle)
PrevBar – Stop at the low/high of the candle before the FVG
(tight/aggressive).
FVG Candle – Stop at the low/high of the FVG candle itself
(medium).
Pivot – Stop at the most recent swing high/low
using pivotLeft / pivotRight pivots (more conservative).
Ticks (stop buffer)
Offset (in ticks) from the selected stop level.
> 0 = further away (more room, more risk)
< 0 = closer (tighter stop)
Pivot left / Pivot right
Number of candles left/right to define a swing high/low
when using Pivot stop mode.
Typical intraday values: 2–3.
The script also sanity-checks the stop:
if the calculated stop would be invalid (e.g. above entry in a long), it moves it by a minimal distance (2 ticks) to keep a valid risk.
📈 4. HTF Trend Filter (Daily / Weekly / Monthly)
Group: “HTF Trend Filter”
Enable HTF trend filter
If enabled, trades are only allowed:
Long when at least 2 of D/W/M closes are above their EMA
Short when at least 2 of D/W/M closes are below their EMA
EMA length (D/W/M)
EMA length for all three higher timeframes (Daily, Weekly, Monthly).
This helps focus entries in the direction of the dominant higher-timeframe trend.
📊 5. ATR Filter (Daily)
Group: “ATR Filter (Daily)”
Use daily ATR filter
If enabled, the height of the ORB (ORB high – ORB low) must be within
a band of the Daily ATR to allow any signals.
Daily ATR length
ATR period on the Daily timeframe.
Min ORB size vs ATR
Lower bound:
Example: 0.3 → ORB must be at least 0.3 × Daily ATR
0.0 = no minimum.
Max ORB size vs ATR
Upper bound:
Example: 1.5 → ORB must be ≤ 1.5 × Daily ATR
0.0 = no maximum.
If the ORB is too small (choppy) or too large (exhausted move), no breakout or FVG signal will be generated on that day.
🧭 6. HTF Dashboard & Signal Labels
Group: “HTF Trend Dashboard”
Show HTF dashboard
Draws a small label at the top of the chart showing:
HTF Trend (EMA X)
D: UP/FLAT/DOWN
W: UP/FLAT/DOWN
M: UP/FLAT/DOWN
Dashboard position
Top Right, Top Center, Top Left – places the dashboard at the top.
Over Risk Info – no top dashboard; instead, the HTF trend info is shown as a label near the risk box when a new signal appears.
Lookback (bars) for top anchor
How many bars to use to determine the top price level for dashboard placement.
Show HTF trend above risk box on signal
Only relevant if Dashboard position = Over Risk Info.
When enabled, a small HTF label appears near the risk box for each new trade.
Signal label vertical offset (ticks)
Vertical spacing between risk info label and HTF label.
Minimum spacing HTF/Risk (ticks)
Ensures a minimum vertical distance so the two labels don’t overlap.
HTF signal label X offset (bars)
Horizontal offset (left/right) relative to the risk info label.
⏳ 7. ORB–FVG Filters (Session & Time Window)
Group: “ORB FVG Filter”
Only same session day
If enabled, FVG entries are only allowed on the same calendar day
as the ORB. When the date changes, all state & drawings are reset.
Limit hours after ORB
Enables a time window after the ORB end.
Trading window after ORB (hours)
Length of that window in hours.
Example: 2.0 → FVG signals only in the first 2 hours after ORB end.
💰 8. Risk Management & Position Sizing
Group: “Risk Management”
Calculate position size
If enabled, the script computes suggested mini and micro contract size for you.
Account size
Your trading account size (in account currency).
Risk mode
Percent – risk is a % of account size (Account risk %).
Fixed amount – risk is a fixed dollar amount (Fixed risk ($)).
Account risk %
Risk per trade as a percentage of account size (e.g. 1.0 for 1%).
Fixed risk ($)
Fixed risk per trade in dollars when using Fixed amount mode.
Micro factor (vs mini)
How much a micro contract is worth relative to a mini.
Example:
0.1 → one micro moves 1/10 of one mini.
Risk Info label
For each new trade, a label is shown above the boxes with:
Stop distance in price and $ risk per mini
Max risk allowed for the trade
Suggested mini and micro size
Text like:
Suggested: 2 mini
Suggested: 5 micro
or Suggested: no trade
This makes the script especially useful for prop-firm rules or strict risk discipline.
🎨 9. Visual Style (Boxes, Labels, ORB Lines)
Group: “Box & Label Style (Trade)”
Label font size (Very small, Small, Normal, Large)
Entry label BG / text color
Stop label BG / text color
TP label BG / text color
Risk info BG / text color
Risk box color (entry–stop zone)
Reward box color (entry–TP zone)
Group: “ORB Style”
ORB high line color
ORB low line color
ORB line width
ORB label font size
ORB label background color
ORB label text color
Show ORB midline
ORB midline color / width / style (Solid / Dashed / Dotted)
⚠️ 10. Alerts
Group: “Alerts”
The script defines three alert conditions:
Long entry FVG breakout
Triggered when a new long signal appears.
Short entry FVG breakout
Triggered when a new short signal appears.
FVG entry (long/short)
Generic alert for any new signal (long or short).
To use them:
Add the indicator to the chart.
Open the Alerts dialog → “Condition”.
Select this script and one of the alert conditions.
Set your preferred expiration and notification settings.
Alerts only fire when Enable FVG entry signals, boxes & alerts is on.
🧩 11. How the trading logic flows (summary)
Build ORB on 1-minute data during the selected session.
Optionally reject the day if ORB is outside the ATR bounds.
Wait for a breakout (close above high or below low), respecting HTF trend filter.
After breakout, look for the first valid FVG in that direction:
Outside the ORB (unless breakout FVG allowed inside)
Confirmed by the next candle (no full reclaim)
Once confirmed:
Compute entry, stop, target.
Draw risk/reward boxes and all labels.
Optionally show HTF signal label over the risk info.
Trigger alerts if enabled.
If you disable FVG signals, only steps 1–3 (plus dashboard) are effectively active.
⚠️ 12. Notes & Disclaimer
Script is intended for intraday trading up to 15-minute timeframes.
All signals are mechanical and do not guarantee profitability.
Always backtest and forward-test on your own data before risking real money.
This script is for educational purposes only and is not financial advice.
🚀 Quick-start guide
Add the script to your chart
Use an intraday timeframe ≤ 15 minutes (1m, 3m, 5m, 15m).
Works best on liquid indices, futures, FX and large-cap stocks.
Set the Morning Range
In “Morning Range Session” choose the exchange’s opening window.
Examples
US index futures (CME): 08:30–08:45 or 08:30–08:35
US stocks (NYSE/Nasdaq): 09:30–09:45 or 09:30–09:35
The ORB is always calculated on 1-minute data internally, so the range stays accurate on higher intraday charts.
Keep the default filters at first
HTF Trend Filter: ON
EMA length = 20
This will only allow trades in the direction of the dominant D/W/M trend.
ATR Filter: OFF (optional; you can enable later once you’re comfortable).
Use the full trade system
In the FVG group leave
“Enable FVG entry signals, boxes & alerts” = ON
Entry mode: Mid
Stop mode: FVG Candle or PrevBar
Risk/Reward: 2.0 as a starting point.
Set your risk
Turn on “Calculate position size”.
Enter your Account size and choose either:
Risk mode = Percent (e.g. 1.0 = 1% per trade), or
Risk mode = Fixed amount (e.g. $250 per trade).
The risk info label will show:
Stop distance in price and $/contract
Max allowed risk
Suggested mini and micro contract size.
Enable alerts (optional)
Open the Alerts dialog → Condition: this script.
Choose one of:
Long entry FVG breakout
Short entry FVG breakout
FVG entry (long/short)
Choose “Once per bar” or “Once per bar close”, and your preferred notification type.
Replay & journal
Use the TradingView bar replay tool to step through past days.
Focus on:
How the ORB defines the structure.
How the first confirmed FVG outside the ORB behaves.
Whether the risk/TP levels fit your own style and product.
🎛 Recommended settings & profiles
These are starting points, not rules. Always adapt to the instrument and your own risk tolerance.
1. Conservative / Trend-following
Timeframe: 5m or 15m
Morning Range Session: 15-minute ORB around the cash or futures open
FVG
Threshold %: 0.05–0.1 (filter out very small gaps)
Auto threshold: OFF (keep it simple)
Allow breakout FVG partly inside ORB: OFF
Enable FVG entry signals/boxes/alerts: ON
Entry mode: Mid
Stop Logic
Stop mode: Pivot
Pivot left/right: 2–3
Stop buffer: +1–2 ticks

Daily ATR length: 14
Min ORB vs ATR: 0.3–0.4
Max ORB vs ATR: 1.2–1.5
Risk Management
Risk mode: Percent
Account risk: 0.5–1.0%
Idea: Only trade when the higher-timeframe trend supports the move and the opening range is of a “normal” size for the current volatility.
2. Balanced / Intraday directional
Timeframe: 3m or 5m
FVG
Threshold %: 0.02–0.05
Auto threshold: ON (lets the script adapt to volatility)

(first breakout FVG may partly sit inside the ORB)
Entry mode: Edge
Edge offset (ticks): 0 or +1
Stop Logic
Stop mode: FVG Candle
Stop buffer: 0–1 ticks
HTF Trend Filter
Enabled: ON
ATR Filter
Enabled: OFF (optional)
Risk Management
Risk mode: Percent
Account risk: 1.0–1.5% (if this fits your plan)
Idea: Slightly more aggressive entries at the gap edge, still aligned with HTF trend, but with more flexibility on ATR.
3. Aggressive / Scalping around the ORB
Timeframe: 1m or 3m
FVG
Threshold %: 0.0–0.02
Auto threshold: ON
Allow breakout FVG partly inside ORB: ON
Entry mode: NextOpen or Edge with a negative offset (deeper into the gap)
Stop Logic
Stop mode: PrevBar
Stop buffer: 0 or -1 tick
HTF Trend Filter
Enabled: OFF (or ON but treat as soft guidance)
ATR Filter
Enabled: OFF
Risk Management
Risk mode: Percent
Account risk: lower, e.g. 0.25–0.5% per trade
Idea: More trades and tighter stops. Best for experienced traders who understand the limitations of scalping and whipsaw risk.
Final reminder
All of these are templates, not guarantees:
Always check how the system behaves on your market and session.
Start on replay and demo before trading real money.
Adjust filters (HTF, ATR, thresholds) until the signals fit your personal approach.
3-in-1 Oscillator Pro3-IN-1 OSCILLATOR PRO: PMO + MACD + OBV
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES
The 3-in-1 Oscillator Pro combines three powerful momentum indicators into ONE clean, normalized oscillator panel. No more cluttered charts with multiple indicator windows - this combines Price Momentum Oscillator (PMO), MACD, and On-Balance Volume (OBV) into a single, actionable view.
**The Secret Sauce:** Advanced normalization technology puts all three indicators on the SAME SCALE, allowing you to compare momentum, trend, and volume flow side-by-side for the first time ever.
**Bonus Feature:** Automatic pattern detection for divergences, double tops/bottoms, and head & shoulders patterns across ALL THREE indicators simultaneously!
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🔥 WHY THIS IS A GAME CHANGER
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
**Traditional Problem:**
- PMO ranges from -10 to +10
- MACD ranges from -2 to +2
- OBV ranges in millions
→ You CAN'T plot them together or compare them directly!
**Our Solution:**
Advanced normalization (Z-Score, Min-Max, or Percentage) puts ALL indicators on the same -3 to +3 scale, allowing you to:
✅ See when all 3 indicators AGREE (high conviction setups)
✅ Spot DIVERGENCES between momentum, trend, and volume
✅ Identify which indicator is leading vs lagging
✅ Make faster, more confident trading decisions
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📊 THE THREE INDICATORS EXPLAINED
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
**1️⃣ PMO (Price Momentum Oscillator)** - BLUE LINE
- Advanced momentum indicator based on Rate of Change
- Smoother than RSI, more responsive than MACD
- Double EMA smoothing eliminates false signals
- Best for: Identifying momentum shifts EARLY
**How to Use:**
- PMO crossing above signal = Bullish momentum
- PMO crossing below signal = Bearish momentum
- PMO above 0 = Bullish zone
- PMO below 0 = Bearish zone
**2️⃣ MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)** - ORANGE LINE
- The industry standard trend-following indicator
- Shows relationship between two moving averages
- Histogram shows momentum strength
- Best for: Confirming trend direction
**How to Use:**
- MACD above signal = Uptrend
- MACD below signal = Downtrend
- Histogram growing = Momentum increasing
- Histogram shrinking = Momentum decreasing
**3️⃣ OBV (On-Balance Volume)** - GREEN LINE
- Measures buying vs selling pressure
- Uses volume to confirm price moves
- Leading indicator (moves before price)
- Best for: Validating breakouts and reversals
**How to Use:**
- OBV rising = Accumulation (smart money buying)
- OBV falling = Distribution (smart money selling)
- OBV divergence = Possible reversal ahead
- OBV confirms price = Strong trend
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎨 NORMALIZATION METHODS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Choose the normalization method that fits your trading style:
**Z-SCORE (DEFAULT - RECOMMENDED)**
- Statistical method measuring standard deviations from mean
- Values typically range from -3 to +3
- Best for: Identifying extreme readings and mean reversion
- Reading: -2 or below = Oversold | +2 or above = Overbought
**MIN-MAX SCALING**
- Scales to -1 to +1 range based on recent high/low
- Best for: Range-bound markets
- Reading: Shows position within recent range
**PERCENTAGE**
- Shows deviation from average as percentage
- Best for: Relative strength comparison
- Reading: Direct percentage above/below mean
**Normalization Period:** Adjustable from 20-500 bars (default 100)
- Shorter period = More reactive, more signals
- Longer period = Smoother, fewer false signals
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 AUTOMATIC PATTERN DETECTION
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
The indicator automatically detects 6 powerful patterns across ALL THREE oscillators:
**BULLISH PATTERNS** 🟢
1. **Bullish Divergence** - Price makes lower low, indicator makes higher low
→ Signals: Downtrend losing momentum, reversal likely
2. **Double Bottom** - Two similar lows with bounce in between
→ Signals: Strong support level, upward reversal setup
3. **Inverse Head & Shoulders** - Three troughs with middle one lowest
→ Signals: Major reversal pattern, strong bullish signal
**BEARISH PATTERNS** 🔴
4. **Bearish Divergence** - Price makes higher high, indicator makes lower high
→ Signals: Uptrend losing momentum, reversal likely
5. **Double Top** - Two similar highs with dip in between
→ Signals: Strong resistance level, downward reversal setup
6. **Head & Shoulders** - Three peaks with middle one highest
→ Signals: Major reversal pattern, strong bearish signal
**Pattern Table Display:**
- Shows current pattern for each indicator
- 🟢 BULL / 🔴 BEAR / ⚪ None signal
- Updates in real-time as patterns develop
- Positioned at bottom right (non-intrusive)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
💡 HOW TO TRADE WITH THIS INDICATOR
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
**STRATEGY 1: TRIPLE CONFIRMATION**
Wait for all 3 indicators to agree:
- All pointing up = Strong BUY signal
- All pointing down = Strong SELL signal
- Mixed signals = Stay out or reduce position size
**STRATEGY 2: DIVERGENCE HUNTER**
Watch for divergences between price and indicators:
1. Price makes new high but PMO/MACD/OBV doesn't = Bearish divergence (SHORT setup)
2. Price makes new low but PMO/MACD/OBV doesn't = Bullish divergence (LONG setup)
3. When 2 or 3 indicators show same divergence = HIGHEST probability
**STRATEGY 3: VOLUME CONFIRMATION**
Use OBV to confirm price moves:
- Price breaking out + OBV rising = Valid breakout (BUY)
- Price breaking out + OBV falling = False breakout (AVOID)
- Price dropping + OBV rising = Bullish accumulation (BUY DIP)
- Price rising + OBV falling = Distribution (PREPARE TO SHORT)
**STRATEGY 4: MOMENTUM SHIFTS**
Use PMO for early entries:
- PMO crosses signal line + MACD confirms = Early entry
- PMO extreme reading (>+2 or <-2) = Possible reversal zone
- PMO divergence + Pattern detection = High probability setup
**STRATEGY 5: PATTERN POWER PLAYS**
When pattern table shows same pattern on 2+ indicators:
- 2 indicators show Bull Divergence = Strong LONG setup
- 2 indicators show Double Bottom = Strong BUY signal
- 3 indicators show bearish pattern = MAXIMUM conviction SHORT

Adaptive Trend Mapper-ATM (Arjo)Adaptive Trend Mapper (ATM) is a multi-factor trend, momentum, and compression-analysis tool designed to help traders visually map the strength and direction of market pressure.
Instead of simply combining existing indicators, ATM creates a new composite framework that blends momentum imbalance, directional strength, volatility contraction, and adaptive smoothing into a single, unified model.
Originality and usefulness
Adaptive Trend Mapper (ATM) does not replicate any one indicator.
It generates two custom indices— Bull Pressure Index and Bear Pressure Index —derived from a mathematical combination of RSI, inverse-RSI, and ADX. These indices behave differently from traditional oscillators:
They represent directional pressure on a 0–100 scale , not momentum.
They are designed to converge/diverge, forming a basis for the built-in Squeeze Detection Engine.
They can be optionally step-compressed , making the movement easier to read on fast or small charts.
The script also integrates a custom SuperSmoother trend model (not TradingView’s built-in function), which acts as an adaptive trend curve on the chart.
All calculations are combined intentionally—not as a mashup—to create a framework that allows traders to understand trend strength, compression phases, and micro-trend shifts in one place.
How the Indicator Works
1. Bull & Bear Pressure Indices:
These indices measure directional imbalance:
Bull Index = ADX strength weighted against inverse-RSI
Bear Index = ADX strength weighted against normal RSI
This produces two opposing pressure curves that rise or fall depending on whether buyers or sellers dominate.
You can optionally smooth these using:
SMA / EMA / WMA / RMA via the “Smoothing Settings” panel.
2. Squeeze & Compression Detection:
A squeeze is detected when:
ADX stays below a user-defined threshold
Bull–Bear Index difference shrinks
Average difference is falling (convergence)
This is a volatility-contraction model inspired by squeeze logic but applied to directional pressure, not Bollinger Bands/Keltner Channels .
3. Adaptive Trend Curve (SuperSmoother Engine)
The indicator applies a two-pole SuperSmoother filter to the price, then smooths it again using EMA.
The slope color flips between bullish and bearish and is displayed using:
A thin SuperSmoother curve
A thicker band for visual context
4. EMA-50 Trend Context:
An optional EMA-50 helps identify broad directional bias .
5. Step-Based Scaling
You can quantize the Bull/Bear indices using custom step intervals.
This makes the indicator easier to read on noisy intraday charts.
How to Use the Indicator
1. Trend Analysis
A rising Bull Index shows strengthening upward pressure
A rising Bear Index shows strengthening downward pressure
Wide divergence between the indices signals a strong trend
2. Compression / Squeeze Analysis
Yellow background = volatility compression + pressure convergence
Breakouts from this zone often precede directional expansion
3. Trendline Reading
SuperSmoother line color flip = micro trend shift
EMA-50 slope gives macro-trend direction
Perfect for combining trend and momentum maps on the same chart
4. Visual Interpretation
Cyan/teal → strong bullish pressure
Purple/red/orange → various levels of bearish control
Neutral/teal background → weak ADX
Yellow background → squeeze zone
Open-Source Notes
This script uses:
TradingView built-in RSI, ADX/DMI, and smoothing functions
A SuperSmoother implementation based on known DSP filter coefficients
All remaining logic, signal methods, composite indices, and compression model are original developments by ARJO .
The script is published open-source to comply with TradingView’s reuse policy.

Zonas de Liquidez Pro + Puntos de GiroAnalysis of Your BTC/USDT 4H Chart
Here’s the breakdown of the liquidity zones shown on your chart and what each element means:
🔴 Resistance Zones (Red Lines)
R 126199.43 – Upper dotted line
Level: ~$126,199
Strength: = Moderate zone
Touch count: 1 touch | 1 rejection
Meaning: Weak resistance, price has only reacted here once.
Dotted line = few historical rejections.
R 111263.81 – Thick solid red line
Level: ~$111,263
Strength: = Strong zone
Touch count: 3 touches | 2 rejections
Meaning: Major resistance level, strongly defended multiple times.
Solid, thicker line = very respected zone.
R 111250.01 – Solid red line (high strength)
Level: ~$111,250
Strength: = Extremely strong
Touch count: 5 touches | 4 rejections
Meaning: This is a critical zone, heavy liquidity stacked here.
Score 19 = institutional-grade liquidity zone.
R 107508.00 – Lower dotted line
Level: ~$107,508
Strength: = Strong zone
Touch count: 4 touches | 1 rejection
Meaning: Previously acting as resistance, now above current price.
💧 “LIQ” Markers – Liquidity Grabs
The yellow LIQ tags signal liquidity grabs.
Pattern detected:
Price taps the strong resistance around $111,263
Wicks above → triggers stop-losses
Closes back below → fake breakout
High volume → institutional stop-hunting
This led directly to the strong downside move.
🎯 Current Price Context
Current price: ~$91,533
Price is below all major resistance zones
Market structure is bearish
Price is far from major liquidity areas
📉 What Happened
The 111k resistance cluster acted as a massive ceiling
Multiple failed breakouts = institutional selling
Liquidity grabs at the top → trap for late buyers
Price then dumped from $111k to $91k (≈ -18%)
🎲 Probable Scenarios
Bullish Scenario 📈
If price returns to the $107,508 zone → first resistance test
Break with volume → target $111,250
Needs a confirmed close above to validate a breakout
Bearish Scenario 📉
If demand remains weak → continuation lower
Watch for new demand zones forming below price
Rejection from $107k–$111k would confirm bearish continuation
🔍 Key Signals to Watch
Bullish:
Price revisits resistance zone
Liquidity grab below support (fake breakdown)
Strong close back above with volume
Bearish:
New lows below $91k
Volume increasing on down moves
New resistance forming overhead
💡 Trading Approach
If you're a buyer (long bias):
Wait for price to pull into a strong demand zone
Look for bullish rejection + volume
Stop-loss below the zone
If you're a seller (short bias):
Ideal entry already happened at 111k (liquidity trap)
Look for a pullback into $107k–$111k
Watch for bearish rejection signs
Conservative Approach
Don’t trade in the middle of nowhere
Wait for price to reach a liquidity zone
Liquidity zones act as magnets → safest places to form trades
🎓 Key Takeaways
High-score zones like are extremely difficult to break → respect them
Liquidity grabs signaled the reversal perfectly
Strong rejections at 111k = smart money unloading
Thicker solid lines = more reliable levels
Divergence Detector (MACD + Volume)Divergence Detector (MACD + Volume Confirmation)
This indicator automatically detects bullish and bearish divergences between price and MACD, enhanced with volume confirmation to filter out weak signals.
🔹 Core Logic
Pivot Detection:
The script identifies swing highs and lows (pivots) using customizable left/right lookback values.
Bullish Divergence:
Occurs when price makes a lower low, but MACD makes a higher low.
A label "Bull Div" appears below the bar; if confirmed by high volume, it shows "Bull Div 🔥".
Bearish Divergence:
Occurs when price makes a higher high, but MACD makes a lower high.
A label "Bear Div" appears above the bar; if confirmed by high volume, it shows "Bear Div 📉".
Volume Confirmation:
The indicator checks whether the volume at the pivot bar is above the moving average of volume (customizable length).
This ensures that divergence signals are backed by strong market participation.
Inputs
MACD Fast/Slow/Signal Length – standard MACD parameters
Pivot Lookback Left/Right – defines the swing structure sensitivity
Volume MA Length – defines how volume strength is validated
Output
Labels:
🔹 Bull Div / Bull Div 🔥 → Bullish divergence (confirmed with volume)
🔹 Bear Div / Bear Div 📉 → Bearish divergence (confirmed with volume)
Tips
Works best on higher timeframes and trending markets.
Volume confirmation helps filter false divergences in low liquidity conditions.
Combine with trend or structure indicators for better trade setups.

Madstrat Strategy - Dual TF# Madstrat Strategy - Dual TF: Complete User Guide
## Overview
The Madstrat Strategy indicator is a comprehensive forex trading system that identifies high-probability trade setups based on a day-counting methodology combined with multi-timeframe EMA alignment analysis. It generates two primary signal types:
1. **Day 3 Signals** - Based on the GSD/RSD (Green Setup Day/Red Setup Day) counting system
2. **Pure Price Action (PA) Signals** - Based on EMA alignment across multiple timeframes with EQ rejection
The indicator operates on **two timeframe combinations simultaneously**:
- **15-minute / 1-hour** combo
- **30-minute / 2-hour** combo
---
## Section 1: Timeframe Signals
### Settings
| Input | Default | Description |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| Show 15m/1hr Signals | ✓ Enabled | Displays signals from the 15-minute LTF with 1-hour HTF confirmation |
| Show 30m/2hr Signals | ✓ Enabled | Displays signals from the 30-minute LTF with 2-hour HTF confirmation |
| Trade Levels Source | Most Recent | Determines which combo draws SL/TP levels |
### How It Works
Each timeframe combination operates independently with its own:
- Signal spacing rules (4 bars for 15m, 2 bars for 30m = both equal ~1 hour)
- Daily signal limits (3 Day 3 signals + 3 Pure PA signals per combo per day)
- EMA alignment checks on both LTF and HTF
**Trade Levels Source Options:**
- **15m/1hr** - Only 15m/1hr signals draw trade levels
- **30m/2hr** - Only 30m/2hr signals draw trade levels
- **Most Recent** - Whichever signal fires most recently draws levels (15m/1hr takes priority if both fire simultaneously)
---
## Section 2: Signal Colors
Customize the appearance of each signal type for each timeframe combination:
### 15m/1hr Combo
| Signal Type | Default Color |
|-------------|---------------|
| Day 3 Buy | Blue |
| Day 3 Sell | Red |
| Pure PA Buy | Aqua |
| Pure PA Sell | Fuchsia |
### 30m/2hr Combo
| Signal Type | Default Color |
|-------------|---------------|
| Day 3 Buy | Teal |
| Day 3 Sell | Orange |
| Pure PA Buy | Lime |
| Pure PA Sell | Maroon |
---
## Section 3: Enhanced FBR Rules
### What is FBR?
**FBR (Failed Breakout Retest)** occurs when price breaks below the previous week's low (or above the previous week's high) but fails to close outside the range, closing back inside instead. This signals a potential reversal and resets the day count to "Day 1" of a new setup sequence.
### Settings
| Input | Default | Description |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| Enable Enhanced FBR Rule | ✓ Enabled | Prevents FBR detection after a clean breakout |
| Show Clean Breakout Labels | ✓ Enabled | Displays labels when clean breakouts occur |
| Bull Breakout Label Color | Blue (25% transparent) | Background color for bullish breakout labels |
| Bear Breakout Label Color | Red (25% transparent) | Background color for bearish breakout labels |
### How Enhanced FBR Works
1. **Clean Breakout Detection**: A clean breakout occurs when price breaks AND closes outside the previous week's range
2. **FBR Blocking**: Once a clean breakout occurs in a week, FBR detection is disabled for the remainder of that week
3. **Weekly Reset**: Both clean breakout and FBR flags reset at the start of each new trading week (Sunday rollover)
### Label Types
- **"CLEAN BULL BO"** - Price broke above previous week high and closed above it
- **"CLEAN BEAR BO"** - Price broke below previous week low and closed below it
- **"FBR Day 1"** - Failed breakout retest detected, count reset to Day 1
---
## Section 4: Real-Time Day Labels
### Purpose
The real-time label shows a **live projection** of what today's day classification will be, updating throughout the trading session as price action develops.
### Settings
| Input | Default | Description |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| Enable Real-Time Day Labels | ✓ Enabled | Shows dynamic label that updates during trading |
| Real-Time Label Position | Right | Position of label relative to current candle |
| Real-Time Label Background | Yellow (20% transparent) | Background color |
| Real-Time Label Text | White | Text color |
### Label Text Meanings
| Label | Meaning |
|-------|---------|
| LIVE: GSD Day X | Projected Green Setup Day (after 2+ red days) |
| LIVE: GD Day X | Projected Green Day (continuing green trend) |
| LIVE: RSD Day X | Projected Red Setup Day (after 2+ green days) |
| LIVE: RD Day X | Projected Red Day (continuing red trend) |
| LIVE: INSIDE DAY | Price range is entirely within previous day's range |
| LIVE: FBR - GSD Day 1 | Bullish failed breakout retest detected |
| LIVE: FBR - RSD Day 1 | Bearish failed breakout retest detected |
| LIVE: ... CLEAN BULL BO | Clean bullish breakout detected |
| LIVE: ... CLEAN BEAR BO | Clean bearish breakout detected |
---
## Section 5: Daily Session Definition
### Instrument Presets
| Preset | Sunday Open | Friday Close | Rollover | Use Case |
|--------|-------------|--------------|----------|----------|
| Forex (FX Pairs) | 17:05 ET | 16:59 ET | 17:00 ET | EUR/USD, GBP/USD, etc. |
| Metals (XAU/XAG) | 18:05 ET | 16:59 ET | 17:00 ET | Gold, Silver |
| Custom | User-defined | User-defined | User-defined | Other instruments |
### Why This Matters
The indicator uses **OANDA-style daily rollover** (5 PM Eastern) rather than UTC midnight. This ensures:
- Accurate day counting for forex markets
- Correct GSD/RSD classification
- Proper weekly level calculations
### Session Break Line
| Input | Default | Description |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| Show Session Break Line | ✓ Enabled | Draws vertical line at daily rollover |
| Session Break Line Color | Black | Line color |
| Width | 2 | Line thickness (1-5) |
| Style | Solid | Solid, dashed, or dotted |
---
## Section 6: Day Labels (GSD/RSD System)
### The Core Day Counting Methodology
This is the foundation of the Madstrat Strategy:
1. **Green Day (GD)**: Daily candle closes higher than it opened
2. **Red Day (RD)**: Daily candle closes lower than it opened
3. **Green Setup Day (GSD)**: A green day that follows 2 or more consecutive red days
4. **Red Setup Day (RSD)**: A red day that follows 2 or more consecutive green days
### The Day 3 Signal
**Day 3** is when the setup is "mature" and ready for a trade:
- **GSD Day 3**: Third consecutive green day after a red sequence of 2+ days
- **RSD Day 3**: Third consecutive red day after a green sequence of 2+ days
### Settings
| Input | Default | Description |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| Max Historical Labels | 60 | Number of day labels to retain on chart |
| Show Day of Week Labels | ✓ Enabled | Shows M O N, T U E, etc. |
| Label Position | Top | Top or bottom of chart |
| Label Hour | 6 | Hour (0-23) when day labels appear |
| GSD/GD Label Background | Blue (25% transparent) | Green day label color |
| RSD/RD Label Background | Red (25% transparent) | Red day label color |
| Inside Day Label Background | Gray (25% transparent) | Inside day label color |
### Important Notes
- **Inside Days** do not increment the count - they are neutral
- **FBR events** reset the count to Day 1 and establish a new trend direction
- **Clean Breakouts** also reset to Day 1 but block further FBR detection that week
---
## Section 7: Daily Levels
Displays the previous day's key price levels:
### Available Levels
| Level | Default | Description |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| Previous Day's High (PDH) | ✓ Enabled, Blue | Highest price of previous session |
| Previous Day's Low (PDL) | ✓ Enabled, Green | Lowest price of previous session |
| Previous Day's EQ | ✓ Enabled, Black | Equilibrium (midpoint of PDH/PDL) |
| 75% Level | ✗ Disabled | 75% of previous day's range |
| 25% Level | ✗ Disabled | 25% of previous day's range |
### EQ Rejection (Critical for Signals)
The **EQ (Equilibrium)** level is crucial for signal generation:
- **Bullish EQ Rejection**: Price wicks down to touch EQ, then closes above it
- **Bearish EQ Rejection**: Price wicks up to touch EQ, then closes below it
The indicator tracks these rejections throughout the day and uses them as a key filter for both Day 3 and Pure PA signals.
---
## Section 8: Weekly Levels
### Previous Week Levels
| Level | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| PWH (Previous Week High) | Highest price of the completed previous week |
| PWL (Previous Week Low) | Lowest price of the completed previous week |
| PWEQ (Previous Week EQ) | Midpoint of PWH and PWL |
### Current Week Levels
| Level | Description |
|-------|-------------|

## Section 11: Signal Filters
### EQ Rejection Recency
| Input | Default | Description |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| EQ Rejection Recency (bars) | 4 | EQ rejection must occur within this many bars |
On a 15-minute chart, 4 bars = 1 hour. This ensures the EQ rejection is "fresh" and relevant.
### Session Filter
| Input | Default | Description |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| Enable Session Filter | ✗ Disabled | Only allow signals during selected sessions |
| Allow Sydney Session Signals | ✓ Enabled | (Only applies if filter enabled) |
| Allow Asian Session Signals | ✓ Enabled | |

## Section 12: Signal Types Explained
### Day 3 Signals (Primary)
Day 3 signals come in two forms:
#### Day 3 Detected (Live)
Fires when the **current day is projected** to become Day 3 based on real-time price action. This is an early signal that may change if the daily candle reverses before close.
#### Day 3 Confirmed
Fires when Day 3 has been **officially confirmed** by the previous day's close. This is a more reliable signal as the day count is locked in.
**Requirements for Day 3 Buy:**
1. GSD Count = 3 (confirmed) OR Projected GSD Count = 3 (live)
2. Not an inside day (current or previous)
3. Recent bullish EQ rejection (within recency bars)
4. Bullish EMA alignment on LTF
5. Bullish EMA alignment on HTF
6. Adequate candle body (not all wick)
7. ADX above threshold (if enabled)
8. Within allowed session (if filter enabled)
9. Signal spacing requirement met
10. Less than 3 Day 3 signals already today for this combo
**Day 3 Sell** - Same requirements but bearish (RSD Count = 3, bearish alignment, bearish EQ rejection)
### Pure PA Signals (Secondary)
Pure PA signals also come in two forms:
#### Pure PA Detected (LTF Only)
Fires when the **lower timeframe conditions** are met but HTF confirmation is still pending. This is an early warning that a full signal may be imminent.
#### Pure PA Confirmed (LTF + HTF)
Fires when **both LTF and HTF** conditions are aligned. This is the full confirmation signal.
**Requirements for Pure PA Buy:**
1. Recent bullish EQ rejection
2. Bullish EMA alignment on LTF (Price > 9 > 18 > 50)
3. Bullish EMA alignment on HTF (Price > 9 > 18 > 50)
4. Adequate candle body ratio (≥30%)
5. ADX above threshold on LTF
6. Not currently an inside day
7. Signal spacing requirement met
8. Less than 3 Pure PA signals already today for this combo
9. Within allowed session (if filter enabled)
**Pure PA Sell** - Same requirements but bearish

## Section 13: Trade Levels
When a signal fires, the indicator can draw:
| Level | Style | Description |
|-------|-------|-------------|
| Stop Loss (SL) | Red dashed | Entry price ± (ATR × 1.5) |
| Take Profit 1 | Green dashed | 1:1 Risk/Reward |
| Take Profit 2 | Green dotted | 2:1 Risk/Reward |
| Take Profit 3 | Green dotted | 3:1 Risk/Reward |
These levels use a 14-period ATR for the stop loss calculation.

## Troubleshooting
### No Signals Appearing?
Check the debug table for:
1. **EQ Rejection Recent** - Is there a recent EQ rejection?
2. **LTF/HTF Positioning** - Are EMAs properly aligned?
3. **GSD/RSD Count** - Is it actually Day 3?
4. **Currently Inside?** - Inside days block signals
5. **Signal Spacing OK** - Has enough time passed since last signal?
6. **ADX value** - Is it above the threshold?
### Day Labels Not Matching Expected Count?
- Verify **Instrument Preset** matches your trading instrument
- Check if an **FBR** or **Clean Breakout** reset the count
- **Inside days** don't increment the count
- Week resets occur at **Sunday 5 PM ET** for forex
### Alerts Not Firing?
1. Ensure **Enable Dynamic Alerts** is checked
2. Verify the specific alert type is enabled (D3 Detected, D3 Confirmed, etc.)
3. Check that the alert condition is properly set up in TradingView
4. Confirm signal filters (session, ADX) aren't blocking the signal
### Understanding Detected vs Confirmed

GardFx - Fusion - ORBFusion ORB & Bias Monitor
This indicator is a comprehensive toolkit designed for session-based traders. It combines an Opening Range Breakout (ORB) visualizer with a Multi-Timeframe (MTF) trend bias dashboard. It is designed to help traders identify key session levels while keeping track of the broader market trend.
How it Works
1. Opening Range Breakout (ORB) Lines The script identifies the High and Low prices established during the first 15 minutes of a specific session or a manually defined start time.
Calculation: The script tracks the high and low values of candles occurring within the 15-minute window defined by the user settings. It then projects these levels forward using line.new.
Reset Logic: The lines automatically reset at the start of a new session (London or New York) or at specific reset times to ensure the chart remains clean for the next trading opportunity.
2. Multi-Timeframe Bias Dashboard The dashboard provides a quick "Bullish" or "Bearish" sentiment check across four timeframes: Daily, 4-Hour, 1-Hour, and 15-Minute.
Methodology: The script uses request.security to fetch the closing price and a 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) for each timeframe.
Signal:
Bullish: Current Close > 50 EMA
Bearish: Current Close < 50 EMA
3. Exchange Clock & Session Tracker A built-in clock displays the current Exchange Time and identifies the active trading session (Asia, London, or New York). This uses timenow and timezone-specific checks to account for Daylight Savings Time shifts between London and New York.
Settings
Automate Session Times: Toggles between automatic detection of London (08:00) and NY (09:30) opens, or a manual user-defined start time.
Manual Start Hour/Minute: Defines the start of the ORB calculation if automation is disabled.
Bias EMA Length: Adjustable length for the trend detection EMA (Default: 50).
Visuals: Users can customize line colors, width, and toggle the mid-line display.
Usage This tool is best used on lower timeframes (e.g., 1-minute or 5-minute) to visualize the 15-minute opening range boundaries. Traders often observe price action around these high/low lines to determine potential breakouts or reversals, using the MTF Dashboard to align trades with the higher timeframe momentum.
RT-Main IndicatorThe RT-Main Indicator is the core indicator that started it all. Developed over more than 5 years, this all in one tool helps traders identify when market participants are buying and selling using multi-colored candles that update in real time. It also identifies key support and resistance levels with Rainbow Pivots and highlights unusual price movements with Whale Print arrows. At its core, the RT-Main Indicator tracks buying and selling with eight colors instead of two, because real world markets are complex and order flow should not be treated as purely binary(Red vs Green).
Introduction
The RT-Main Indicator is designed as a primary Rainbow Theory Tool. It uses color coded candles to show changes in strength, Rainbow Pivots to mark important support and resistance areas, and Whale Prints to flag abnormal buy and sell activity. The goal is to bring these components together into a single framework so traders can read trend, structure, and larger player behavior without stacking many separate indicators.
This tutorial will cover each aspect of the tool:
Colored Candles
Whales are stealth experts and their strength is their ability to not be detected as they move the market. Rainbow Theory illuminates them from the shadows with a spectrum of specifically coded colors to display their unique strengths/weaknesses. In practice, this means the RT-Main Indicator uses internal strength and exhaustion metrics to color candles so that shifts in buying and selling pressure are easier to see.
The base of the RT-Main Indicator is the colored candles it paints onto the chart. These colors automatically tune to the chart based on the timeframe the trader is currently using (1D, H12, H1, 15M, etc). Instead of painting charts with a single Bullish Color (Green) and a single Bearish Color (Red), Rainbow Theory breaks out and identifies these moves into four Bearish Colors (Red|Orange|Yellow|White) and four Bullish Colors (Green|Blue|Purple|Pink). Each color tells a different story of the trend and helps traders better understand the nature of the current trend.
Bullish Colors
#4 - Green Candles - Weakest bullish color, these trends can sustain for extended periods of time.
#3 - Blue Candles - Strong bullish color, a move is starting to develop and can sustain.
#2 - Purple Candles - Second strongest bullish color, Whales are committed to the move but cannot sustain this level of momentum for long durations and a top is near.
#1 - Pink Candles - Strongest bullish color, Whales are using every single ounce of energy they have to push price up, the trend cannot be sustained and its time to take profits.
Bearish Colors
#4 - Red Candles - Weakest bearish color, these trends can sustain for extended periods of time.
#3 - Orange Candles - Strong bearish color, a move is starting to develop and can sustain.
#2 - Yellow Candles - Second strongest bearish color, Whales are committed to the move but cannot sustain this level of momentum for long durations and a bottom is near.
#1 - White Candles - Strongest bearish color, Whales are using every single ounce of energy they have to push price down into all out capitulation, the trend cannot be sustained and its time to look for entries.
How To Enable Colored Candles
By default, the Indicator’s Candles are placed behind the default candles. To properly display them, you must bring them forward. To do this, click the settings icon on the indicator, click visual order and then click bring to front:
Example - Bringing all the colors together into a Bearish Trend that reverses into a Bullish Trend:
The color thresholds can be tuned using the following options:
Automatic Tuning On/Off - Enables or disables the automatic color tuning that adjusts for each timeframe.
Auto Tuning Gain (Inc/Dec) - Increases or decreases how aggressive the automatic tuning algorithm adjusts color tuning.
Manual Fine Tuning - Linear Color Shift - Manually controls the linear sensitivity for color candle thresholds. This can be visualized as a setting being adjusted up or down in a straight, linear fashion. Linear Color Shift
Manual Fine Tuning - Exponential Color Shift - Manually controls the exponential sensitivity for color candle thresholds. This can be visualized as a setting being adjusted in an exponential manner where each level moves in an exponential shift instead of all moving equally. Exponential Color Shift Dark Mode
Some traders prefer light colored backgrounds for their charting, which can make white candles difficult to see. The RT-Main Indicator includes a Dark Mode toggle so colors stay readable on both dark and light charts.
Dark Mode Candles On/Off - Forces the indicator to use the second color set stored in the Style tab in the RT-Main Indicator settings when using light backgrounds. The White/Black Candle can also have a custom color applied if the trader is not content with these two default options.
Custom Candle Colors
In addition to toggling between light and dark modes, each individual color used by the RT-Main Indicator can be edited in the Style tab. This allows traders to keep the same logic while adjusting the visual palette to match their own chart layout.
Rainbow Rotations
Rainbow Rotations are a feature traders use to catch reversals or reversions when a trend fully blows out. The algorithm triggers on the first weaker candle that closes after a Pink or White candle prints. The general idea of this event is to show peaks and valleys of an asset.
In a strong bearish move, White candles mark extreme selling. If a weaker Yellow candle appears after a White candle, that first weaker candle is where the rotation event triggers and a Rainbow Rotation marker is placed on the chart. In a strong bullish move, Pink candles mark extreme buying. The first weaker bullish candle after a Pink candle triggers the opposite side rotation marker.
Note that Rainbow Rotations can only be visible for a finite amount of candles. The Replay function in TradingView can be used to review previous triggers.
Rainbow Rotation settings are available near the top of the settings menu:
Rainbow Rotation Alerts On/Off - Toggles these signals on or off with one click.
Rainbow Rotation Symbol - Customizes the symbol that is plotted on the chart for Rainbow Rotations. Both text and emojis can be used instead of the default symbol.
Rainbow Rotation Alerts
Rainbow Rotations can also be automated with standard TradingView alerts. To set this up:
Click the Alert icon on the right side of the screen.
Change Condition to the RT-Main Indicator.
Change the second condition to one of the three options:
Bullish Alerts | Bearish Alerts | Bearish and Bullish Alerts
Set Trigger to Once Per Bar Close.
Once set up, this allows traders to be notified when the RT-Main Indicator detects an extreme bullish or bearish trend that is starting to reverse.
Automated Pivots
One of the RT-Main Indicator's most powerful functions is the automated support and resistance pivots. This logic uses two internal bots that are tuned to look for potential support and resistance order blocks.
The Resistance Pivot Bot prints lines that are painted with red dashes.
The Support Pivot Bot prints lines that are painted with green dashes.
Regardless of the color of the dashed pivot line, any trend that approaches a pivot should be respected. For example, a trend moving up towards a green support pivot should still treat that area as resistance if price is approaching from below.
As the algorithm continues to print additional pivots on the chart, traders can start identifying order blocks that are otherwise hidden in the price action. These order blocks are key support and resistance areas that trends will often interact with and respect. Multiple stacked pivots in the same region are a visual clue that such an order block has formed.
Pivots can be tuned with the following options:
Pivot On/Off - Quickly toggles all pivots on or off.
Pivot Style - Switches between different styles of marking pivots.
Pivot Sensitivity (Inc/Dec) - Tunes the sensitivity of the pivot algorithms. Adjusting this changes how many pivots are printed on the chart.
Pivot Line Drawing Length - Controls how long the indicator draws the pivot lines.
Resistance / Support Pivot Colors - Allows customization of pivot colors to match the rest of the chart.
Whale Prints
One of the most important parts of the RT-Main Indicator is tracking Whale Prints. This portion of the script looks for abnormal buys and sells that are more consistent with large players than typical flow. Under normal circumstances, whales try to avoid being visible when they buy or sell, but there are times where they are forced to come out of hiding and deliberately move the market.
The Whale Print logic is tuned to notify the trader when it detects that this type of unusual activity may be occurring.
Bearish Whale Prints are marked on the chart with a red triangle.
Bullish Whale Prints are marked on the chart with a green triangle.
Whale Print clusters are situations where multiple Whale Prints have been identified in the past 10 candles. While individual Whale Prints are useful, clusters of Whale Prints are particularly important because they often signal that a very large move is potentially being prepared/defended.
The Whale Print table is an active tracker that counts the number of bullish and bearish Whale Prints that have occurred in the past 10 candles. Whale Print settings can be tuned with:
Whale Print Clusters Table On/Off - Toggles the Whale Print table on or off with one click.
Whale Print Clusters Alerts On/Off - Toggles the Whale Print cluster symbol on or off.
Whale Print Cluster Symbol - Changes the symbol on the chart for Whale Clusters. Emojis and text can both be used instead of the default symbol.
Whale Print Cluster Bullish/Bearish Label Color - Customizes the color of the Whale Print cluster labels on the chart. Whale Print Cluster Alerts
Whale Print Cluster alerts can be automated with standard TradingView alerts. To set this up:
Click the Alert icon on the right side of the screen.
Change Condition to the RT-Main Indicator.
Change the second condition to one of the two options:
Bull Whale Cluster Alert | Bear Whale Cluster Alert
Set Trigger to Once Per Bar Close. Once set up, this allows traders to be notified when the RT-Main Indicator detects a Whale Print Cluster.
Bull/Bear Trend Step Line
The inflection point of the colored candles is controlled by the Bull/Bear Trend Step Line. This is the grey stepped line on the chart where the bullish and bearish colors meet. Candles above this line are marked by the four bullish candle colors.
Candles below this line are marked by the four bearish candle colors.
The Bull/Bear Trend Step Line can be tuned with:
Bull/Bear Line Offset - Controls a vertical threshold for the line.
Bull/Bear Line Smoothness - Controls the sensitivity and smoothness of the line so traders can fine tune it for their specific setups. Most traders do not adjust the Bull/Bear Step Line. The small group that does typically only use these settings for lower timeframe trading setups below 5 minute candles. If preferred, the line can be recolored or hidden from the Style tab of the RT-Main Indicator without changing how the core color logic works.
Important Note
The RT-Main Indicator is intended to provide additional context around trend strength, exhaustion, and key areas of support and resistance. It is not a standalone signal generator and should always be used together with your own analysis, testing, and risk management. Historical color patterns, pivots, and Whale Prints do not guarantee future results.
🐋 Tight lines and happy trading!
Hammer Model [#]Hammer Model - HTF Candle Entry Model
Overview
The Hammer Model is a sophisticated technical indicator that identifies high-probability reversal setups based on Higher Timeframe (HTF) candlestick wick rejection patterns. Unlike traditional hammer pattern indicators that simply flag candle formations, this system provides a complete trading framework with precise entry zones, stop loss placement, and multiple take profit targets calculated using statistical projections.
What Makes This Different
Proprietary Signal Filtering: This indicator uses a proprietary algorithm that analyzes multiple market structure conditions to filter out low-quality hammer patterns. Only the highest-probability setups are displayed, significantly reducing false signals compared to standard pattern recognition tools.
Dynamic Quadrant Mapping: Rather than basic support/resistance levels, the system divides each qualified hammer candle into three distinct zones (Upper Wick, Body, and Lower Wick), with precise .25, .5, and .75 subdivision levels for granular entry and exit planning.
Multi-Standard Deviation Projections: The indicator automatically calculates TP1 and TP2 targets based on the wick's range, along with optional 1-4 standard deviation extension levels for position scaling and profit maximization.
How It Works
Signal Generation @ Candle Close/New Candle Open
The indicator monitors your chart for HTF candles that meet specific criteria:
Bullish Hammer: Lower wick must be significantly larger than the body
Bearish Hammer: Upper wick must be significantly larger than the body
When both wicks qualify, the indicator selects the larger wick as the primary signal, depending on conditions set.
Visual Components
Bullish Setups:
SL: Stop loss level (below lower wick)
ENTRY: Entry zone (candle body range)
.25/.5/.25: Wick quadrant levels for scaling entries
TP1/TP2: First and second take profit targets
1-4STDV: Advanced/Long Range Targets
Bearish Setups:
SL: Stop loss level (above upper wick)
ENTRY: Entry zone (candle body range)
.25/.5/.25: Wick quadrant levels for scaling entries
TP1/TP2: First and second take profit targets
1-4STDV: Advanced/Long Range Targets
HTF Candle Overlay (Optional):
Displays the actual HTF candle that generated the signal
Shows Open, High, Low, and Close lines for context
Trading the Signals
For Bullish Hammers (Long):
Entry is @ HTF Candle Close / New HTF Candle Open (or wait for a .25-.5 wick retrace)
Place stop loss at or 1 tick below the SL level (lower wick low)
Target TP1 (1x wick range above) and TP2 (2x wick range above) and STDV
Use .25/.5/.25 levels to scale into positions or manage partial exits
For Bearish Hammers (Short):
Entry is @ HTF Candle Close / New HTF Candle Open (or wait for a .25-.5 wick retrace)
Place stop loss at or above the SL level (upper wick high)
Target TP1 (1x wick range below) and TP2 (2x wick range below) and STDV
Use .25/.5/.25 levels to scale into positions or manage partial exits
Key Settings
Hammer Model Conditions

Why Closed Source
This indicator is closed source to protect proprietary filtering algorithms that determine which hammer patterns qualify as valid signals. These filters analyze specific market structure conditions, liquidity dynamics, and statistical thresholds that have been developed through extensive backtesting, data logging over 1 years time, and represent the core intellectual property of this system. The filtering methodology is what separates this from basic pattern recognition tools and delivers higher-probability setups. To learn how to learn more about this system see Author Notes.
Best Practices
Confluence: Use this indicator alongside trend analysis, key support/resistance levels, or volume profiles
Risk Management: The SL levels provide clear invalidation points - always honor them
Scaling: Use the quadrant levels (.25/.5/.25) to scale into positions rather than entering full size at once
Session Filters: Enable time filters to focus on setups during high-liquidity sessions
Backtesting: Review historical signals on your preferred instruments to understand typical behavior and win rates
Notes
The indicator displays a table in the top-right showing the current chart timeframe and HTF being analyzed
Only charts with sufficient historical data will display all past signals
The "Unlimited" option may cause performance issues on very low timeframes with extensive history

Volume Gaps & Imbalances (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Volume Gaps & Imbalances (Zeiierman) is an advanced market-structure and order-flow visualizer that maps where the market traded, where it did not, and how buyer-vs-seller pressure accumulated across the entire price range.
The core of the indicator is a price-by-price volume profile built from Bullish and Bearish volume assignments. The script highlights:
True zero-volume voids (regions of no traded volume)
Bull/Bear imbalance rows (horizontal volume slices)
A multi-section Delta Panel, showing aggregated Buy–Sell pressure per vertical sector
A clean separation between profile structure, volume efficiency, and delta flows
Together, these components reveal market inefficiencies, displacement zones, and fair-value regions that price tends to revisit — making it an exceptional tool for structural trading, order-flow analysis, and contextual confluence.
Highlights
Identifies true volume voids (untraded price regions), more precisely than standard FVG tools
Plots Bull vs Bear volume at each price row for fine-grained imbalance reading
Includes a sector-based Delta Grid that aggregates Buy–Sell dominance
█ How It Works
⚪ Profile Construction
The indicator scans a user-defined Lookback window and divides the full high–low range into Rows. Each bar's volume is allocated into the correct price bucket:
Bullish volume when close > open
Bearish volume when close <= open
This produces three values per price level:
Bull Volume
Bear Volume
Total Volume & Imbalance Profile
Rows where no volume at all occurred are marked as volume gaps — signaling true untraded zones, often produced by impulsive imbalanced moves.
⚪ Zero-Volume Gaps (True Voids)
Unlike candle-based Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), volume gaps identify the deeper, structural inefficiency: Price moved so fast through a region that no trades occurred at those prices. These areas often attract revisits because liquidity never exchanged hands there.
⚪ Bull/Bear Volume Imbalance
Every price row is drawn using two colored horizontal segments:
Bull segment proportional to bullish volume
Bear segment proportional to bearish volume
This reveals where buyers or sellers dominated individual price levels.
⚪ Delta Panel
The full volume profile is cut into Summary Sections. For each block, the script computes: Δ = (Bull Volume − Bear Volume) ÷ Total Volume × 100%
█ How to Use
⚪ Spot True Voids & Inefficiencies
Zero-volume zones highlight where the price moved without trading. These areas often behave like:
Refill zones during retracements
Targets during displacement
Thin regions price slices through quickly
Ideal for both SMC-style trading and structural mapping.
⚪ Identify Bull/Bear Control at Each Price Level
Broad bullish segments show zones of buyer absorption, while wide bearish slices reveal seller control.
This helps you interpret:
Where buyers supported the price
Where sellers defended a level
Which price levels matter for continuation or reversal
⚪ Use Delta Sectors for Contextual Direction
The delta panel shows where market pressure is accumulating, revealing whether the profile is dominated by:
Bullish flow (positive delta)
Bearish flow (negative delta)
Neutral flow (balanced or minimal delta)

Pro Order Flow – NQ 5m/15mThis is a professional-grade order flow tool designed for scalpers and intraday futures traders (especially NQ 5m/15m, ES, SPY, BTC, and gold).
Right-click indicator → Move to new pane below (recommended, so price is clean)
It combines five high-probability institutional signals into one clean, fast indicator:
What This Indicator Shows
1. Candle Delta Histogram (Buyer vs Seller Pressure)
Each bar shows whether aggressive buyers (market orders lifting ask) or aggressive sellers (hitting bid) controlled that candle.
Green = buying pressure
Red = selling pressure
2.Session Cumulative Delta (True Direction)
Tracks buyer/seller domination for the entire session.
Rising cumDelta = buyers absorbing sellers
Falling cumDelta = sellers absorbing buyers
If price goes up but cumulative delta goes down → distribution (short signal)
If price goes down but cumulative delta goes up → accumulation (long signal)
This is one of the strongest institutional signals.
3 Big Delta Bars (Unusual Aggression)
Highlights candles where delta is 2.2× larger than average volume.
These mark:
Institutional absorption
Breakout pressure
Stop-run attacks
Failed breakout reversals
Green = big buying aggression
Red = big selling aggression
4 Smart-Money Wick Absorption (Absorb↑ / Absorb↓)
Tracks wick length vs body size + delta.
Used to detect:
Stop hunts
Liquidity grabs
Reversals off trapped traders
Absorb↓ (triangle up) = buyers absorbed sell-side liquidity (bullish)
Absorb↑ (triangle down) = sellers absorbed buy-side liquidity (bearish)
This is a high-confidence signal for NQ.
5 Real Delta Divergences (Δ Bull / Δ Bear)
Not RSI divergences — order flow divergences:
🔻 Bearish Delta Divergence (Δ Bear)
Price makes higher high
Cumulative delta makes lower high → buyers weakening
High-probability short
🔺 Bullish Delta Divergence (Δ Bull)
Price makes lower low
Cumulative delta makes higher low → sellers weakening
High-probability long
These are professional reversal points.
How to Use (Trading Strategy)
Recommended for:
NQ 5m entries + 15m bias, ES, SPY, BTC, gold.
🟩 Long Setup (Buy)
On 15m, session cumulative delta sloping UP

Perfect for scalpers who want real-time signals.
Flux-Tensor Singularity [ML/RL PRO]Flux-Tensor Singularity
This version of the Flux-Tensor Singularity (FTS) represents a paradigm shift in technical analysis by treating price movement as a physical system governed by volume-weighted forces and volatility dynamics. Unlike traditional indicators that measure price change or momentum in isolation, FTS quantifies the complete energetic state of the market by fusing three fundamental dimensions: price displacement (delta_P), volume intensity (V), and local-to-global volatility ratio (gamma).
The Physics-Inspired Foundation:
The tensor calculation draws inspiration from general relativity and fluid dynamics, where massive objects (large volume) create curvature in spacetime (price action). The core formula:
Raw Singularity = (ΔPrice × ln(Volume)) × γ²
Where:
• ΔPrice = close - close (directional force)
• ln(Volume) = logarithmic volume compression (prevents extreme outliers)
• γ (Gamma) = (ATR_local / ATR_global)² (volatility expansion coefficient)
This raw value is then normalized to 0-100 range using the lookback period's extremes, creating a bounded oscillator that identifies critical density points—"singularities" where normal market behavior breaks down and explosive moves become probable.
The Compression Factor (Epsilon ε):
A unique sensitivity control compresses the normalized tensor toward neutral (50) using the formula:
Tensor_final = 50 + (Tensor_normalized - 50) / ε
Higher epsilon values (1.5-3.0) make threshold breaches rare and significant, while lower values (0.3-0.7) increase signal frequency. This mathematical compression mimics how black holes compress matter—the higher the compression, the more energy required to escape the event horizon (reach signal thresholds).
Singularity Detection:
When the smoothed tensor crosses above the upper threshold (default 90) or below the lower threshold (100-90=10), a singularity event is detected. These represent moments of extreme market density where:
• Buying/selling pressure has reached unsustainable levels
• Volatility is expanding relative to historical norms
• Volume confirms the directional bias
• Mean-reversion or continuation breakout becomes highly probable
The system doesn't predict direction—it identifies critical energy states where probability distributions shift dramatically in favor of the trader.
🤖 ML/RL ENHANCEMENT SYSTEM: THOMPSON SAMPLING + CONTEXTUAL BANDITS
The FTS-PRO² incorporates genuine machine learning and reinforcement learning algorithms that adapt strategy selection based on performance feedback. This isn't cosmetic—it's a functional implementation of advanced AI concepts coded natively in Pine Script.
Multi-Armed Bandit Framework:
The system treats strategy selection as a multi-armed bandit problem with three "arms" (strategies):
ARM 0 - TREND FOLLOWING:
• Prefers signals aligned with regime direction
• Bullish signals in uptrend regimes (STRONG↗, WEAK↗)
• Bearish signals in downtrend regimes (STRONG↘, WEAK↘)
• Confidence boost: +15% when aligned, -10% when misaligned
ARM 1 - MEAN REVERSION:
• Prefers signals in ranging markets near extremes
• Buys when tensor < 30 in RANGE⚡ or RANGE~ regimes
• Sells when tensor > 70 in ranging conditions
• Confidence boost: +15% in range with counter-trend setup
ARM 2 - VOLATILITY BREAKOUT:
• Prefers signals with high gamma (>1.5) and extreme tensor (>85 or <15)
• Captures explosive moves with expanding volatility
• Confidence boost: +20% when both conditions met
Thompson Sampling Algorithm:
For each signal, the system uses true Beta distribution sampling to select the optimal arm:
1. Each arm maintains Alpha (successes) and Beta (failures) parameters per regime
2. Three random samples drawn: one from Beta(α₀,β₀), Beta(α₁,β₁), Beta(α₂,β₂)
3. Highest sample wins and that arm's strategy applies
4. After trade outcome:
- Win → Alpha += 1.0, reward += 1.0
- Loss → Beta += 1.0, reward -= 0.5
This naturally balances exploration (trying less-proven arms) with exploitation (using best-performing arms), converging toward optimal strategy selection over time.
Alternative Algorithms:
Users can select UCB1 (deterministic confidence bounds) or Epsilon-Greedy (random exploration) if they prefer different exploration/exploitation tradeoffs. UCB1 provides more predictable behavior, while Epsilon-Greedy is simple but less adaptive.
Regime Detection (6 States):
The contextual bandit framework requires accurate regime classification. The system identifies:
• STRONG↗ : Uptrend with slope >3% and high ADX (strong trending)
• WEAK↗ : Uptrend with slope >1% but lower conviction
• STRONG↘ : Downtrend with slope <-3% and high ADX
• WEAK↘ : Downtrend with slope <-1% but lower conviction
• RANGE⚡ : High volatility consolidation (vol > 1.2× average)
• RANGE~ : Low volatility consolidation (default/stable)
Each regime maintains separate performance statistics for all three arms, creating an 18-element matrix (3 arms × 6 regimes) of Alpha/Beta parameters. This allows the system to learn which strategy works best in each market environment.
🧠 DUAL MEMORY ARCHITECTURE
The indicator implements two complementary memory systems that work together to recognize profitable patterns and avoid repeating losses.
Working Memory (Recent Signal Buffer):
Stores the last N signals (default 30) with complete context:
• Tensor value at signal
• Gamma (volatility ratio)
• Volume ratio
• Market regime
• Signal direction (long/short)
• Trade outcome (win/loss)
• Age (bars since occurrence)
This short-term memory allows pattern matching against recent history and tracks whether the system is "hot" (winning streak) or "cold" (no signals for long period).
Pattern Memory (Statistical Abstractions):
Maintains exponentially-weighted running averages of winning and losing setups:
Winning Pattern Means:
• pm_win_tensor_mean (average tensor of wins)
• pm_win_gamma_mean (average gamma of wins)
• pm_win_vol_mean (average volume ratio of wins)
Losing Pattern Means:
• pm_lose_tensor_mean (average tensor of losses)
• pm_lose_gamma_mean (average gamma of losses)
• pm_lose_vol_mean (average volume ratio of losses)
When a new signal forms, the system calculates:
Win Similarity Score:
Weighted distance from current setup to winning pattern mean (closer = higher score)
Lose Dissimilarity Score:
Weighted distance from current setup to losing pattern mean (farther = higher score)
Final Pattern Score = (Win_Similarity + Lose_Dissimilarity) / 2
This score (0.0 to 1.0) feeds into ML confidence calculation with 15% weight. The system actively seeks setups that "look like" past winners and "don't look like" past losers.
Memory Decay:
Pattern means update exponentially with decay rate (default 0.95):
New_Mean = Old_Mean × 0.95 + New_Value × 0.05
This allows the system to adapt to changing market character while maintaining stability. Faster decay (0.80-0.90) adapts quickly but may overfit to recent noise. Slower decay (0.95-0.99) provides stability but adapts slowly to regime changes.
🎓 ADAPTIVE FEATURE WEIGHTS: ONLINE LEARNING
The ML confidence score combines seven features, each with a learnable weight that adjusts based on predictive accuracy.
The Seven Features:
1. Overall Win Rate (15% initial) : System-wide historical performance
2. Regime Win Rate (20% initial) : Performance in current market regime
3. Score Strength (15% initial) : Bull vs bear score differential
4. Volume Strength (15% initial) : Volume ratio normalized to 0-1
5. Pattern Memory (15% initial) : Similarity to winning patterns
6. MTF Confluence (10% initial) : Higher timeframe alignment
7. Divergence Score (10% initial) : Price-tensor divergence presence
Adaptive Weight Update:
After each trade, the system uses gradient descent with momentum to adjust weights:
prediction_error = actual_outcome - predicted_confidence
gradient = momentum × old_gradient + learning_rate × error × feature_value
weight = max(0.05, weight + gradient × 0.01)
Then weights are normalized to sum to 1.0.
Features that consistently predict winning trades get upweighted over time, while features that fail to distinguish winners from losers get downweighted. The momentum term (default 0.9) smooths the gradient to prevent oscillation and overfitting.
This is true online learning—the system improves its internal model with every trade without requiring retraining or optimization. Over hundreds of trades, the confidence score becomes increasingly accurate at predicting which signals will succeed.
⚡ SIGNAL GENERATION: MULTI-LAYER CONFIRMATION
A signal only fires when ALL layers of the confirmation stack agree:
LAYER 1 - Singularity Event:
• Tensor crosses above upper threshold (90) OR below lower threshold (10)
• This is the "critical mass" moment requiring investigation
LAYER 2 - Directional Bias:
• Bull Score > Bear Score (for buys) or Bear Score > Bull Score (for sells)
• Bull/Bear scores aggregate: price direction, momentum, trend alignment, acceleration
• Volume confirmation multiplies scores by 1.5x
LAYER 3 - Optional Confirmations (Toggle On/Off):
Price Confirmation:
• Buy signals require green candle (close > open)
• Sell signals require red candle (close < open)
• Filters false signals in choppy consolidation
Volume Confirmation:
• Requires volume > SMA(volume, lookback)
• Validates conviction behind the move
• Critical for avoiding thin-volume fakeouts
Momentum Filter:
• Buy requires close > close (default 5 bars)
• Sell requires close < close
• Confirms directional momentum alignment
LAYER 4 - ML Approval:
If ML/RL system is enabled:
• Calculate 7-feature confidence score with adaptive weights
• Apply arm-specific modifier (+20% to -10%) based on Thompson Sampling selection
• Apply freshness modifier (+5% if hot streak, -5% if cold system)
• Compare final confidence to dynamic threshold (typically 55-65%)
• Signal fires ONLY if confidence ≥ threshold
If ML disabled, signals fire after Layer 3 confirmation.
Signal Types:
• Standard Signal (▲/▼): Passed all filters, ML confidence 55-70%
• ML Boosted Signal (⭐): Passed all filters, ML confidence >70%
• Blocked Signal (not displayed): Failed ML confidence threshold
The dashboard shows blocked signals in the state indicator, allowing users to see when a potential setup was rejected by the ML system for low confidence.
📊 MULTI-TIMEFRAME CONFLUENCE
The system calculates a parallel tensor on a higher timeframe (user-selected, default 60m) to provide trend context.
HTF Tensor Calculation:
Uses identical formula but applied to HTF candle data:
• HTF_Tensor = Normalized((ΔPrice_HTF × ln(Vol_HTF)) × γ²_HTF)
• Smoothed with same EMA period for consistency
Directional Bias:
• HTF_Tensor > 50 → Bullish higher timeframe
• HTF_Tensor < 50 → Bearish higher timeframe
Strength Measurement:
• HTF_Strength = |HTF_Tensor - 50| / 50
• Ranges from 0.0 (neutral) to 1.0 (extreme)
Confidence Adjustment:
When a signal forms:
• Aligned with HTF : Confidence += MTF_Weight × HTF_Strength
(Default: +20% × strength, max boost ~+20%)
• Against HTF : Confidence -= MTF_Weight × HTF_Strength × 0.6
(Default: -20% × strength × 0.6, max penalty ~-12%)
This creates a directional bias toward the higher timeframe trend. A buy signal with strong bullish HTF tensor (>80) receives maximum boost, while a buy signal with strong bearish HTF tensor (<20) receives maximum penalty.
Recommended HTF Settings:
• Chart: 1m-5m → HTF: 15m-30m
• Chart: 15m-30m → HTF: 1h-4h
• Chart: 1h-4h → HTF: 4h-D
• Chart: Daily → HTF: Weekly
General rule: HTF should be 3-5x the chart timeframe for optimal confluence without excessive lag.
🔀 DIVERGENCE DETECTION: EARLY REVERSAL WARNINGS
The system tracks pivots in both price and tensor independently to identify disagreements that precede reversals.
Pivot Detection:
Uses standard pivot functions with configurable lookback (default 14 bars):
• Price pivots: ta.pivothigh(high) and ta.pivotlow(low)
• Tensor pivots: ta.pivothigh(tensor) and ta.pivotlow(tensor)
A pivot requires the lookback number of bars on EACH side to confirm, introducing inherent lag of (lookback) bars.
Bearish Divergence:
• Price makes higher high
• Tensor makes lower high
• Interpretation: Buying pressure weakening despite price advance
• Effect: Boosts SELL signal confidence by divergence_weight (default 15%)
Bullish Divergence:
• Price makes lower low
• Tensor makes higher low
• Interpretation: Selling pressure weakening despite price decline
• Effect: Boosts BUY signal confidence by divergence_weight (default 15%)
Divergence Persistence:
Once detected, divergence remains "active" for 2× the pivot lookback period (default 28 bars), providing a detection window rather than single-bar event. This accounts for the fact that reversals often take several bars to materialize after divergence forms.
Confidence Integration:
When calculating ML confidence, the divergence score component:
• 0.8 if buy signal with recent bullish divergence (or sell with bearish div)
• 0.2 if buy signal with recent bearish divergence (opposing signal)
• 0.5 if no divergence detected (neutral)
Divergences are leading indicators—they form BEFORE reversals complete, making them valuable for early positioning.
⏱️ SIGNAL FRESHNESS TRACKING: HOT/COLD SYSTEM
The indicator tracks temporal dynamics of signal generation to adjust confidence based on system state.
Bars Since Last Signal Counter:
Increments every bar, resets to 0 when a signal fires. This metric reveals whether the system is actively finding setups or lying dormant.
Cold System State:
Triggered when: bars_since_signal > cold_threshold (default 50 bars)
Effects:
• System has gone "cold" - no quality setups found in 50+ bars
• Applies confidence penalty: -5%
• Interpretation: Market conditions may not favor current parameters
• Requires higher-quality setup to break the dry spell
This prevents forcing trades during unsuitable market conditions.
Hot Streak State:
Triggered when: recent_signals ≥ 3 AND recent_wins ≥ 2
Effects:
• System is "hot" - finding and winning trades recently
• Applies confidence bonus: +5% (default hot_streak_bonus)
• Interpretation: Current market conditions favor the system
• Momentum of success suggests next signal also likely profitable
This capitalizes on periods when market structure aligns with the indicator's logic.
Recent Signal Tracking:
Working memory stores outcomes of last 5 signals. When 3+ winners occur in this window, hot streak activates. After 5 signals, the counter resets and tracking restarts. This creates rolling evaluation of recent performance.
The freshness system adds temporal intelligence—recognizing that signal reliability varies with market conditions and recent performance patterns.
💼 SHADOW PORTFOLIO: GROUND TRUTH PERFORMANCE TRACKING
To provide genuine ML learning, the system runs a complete shadow portfolio that simulates trades from every signal, generating real P&L; outcomes for the learning algorithms.
Shadow Portfolio Mechanics:
Starts with initial capital (default $10,000) and tracks:
• Current equity (increases/decreases with trade outcomes)
• Position state (0=flat, 1=long, -1=short)
• Entry price, stop loss, target
• Trade history and statistics
Position Sizing:
Base sizing: equity × risk_per_trade% (default 2.0%)
With dynamic sizing enabled:
• Size multiplier = 0.5 + ML_confidence
• High confidence (0.80) → 1.3× base size
• Low confidence (0.55) → 1.05× base size
Example: $10,000 equity, 2% risk, 80% confidence:
• Impact: $10,000 × 2% × 1.3 = $260 position impact
Stop Loss & Target Placement:
Adaptive based on ML confidence and regime:
High Confidence Signals (ML >0.7):
• Tighter stops: 1.5× ATR
• Larger targets: 4.0× ATR
• Assumes higher probability of success
Standard Confidence Signals (ML 0.55-0.7):
• Standard stops: 2.0× ATR
• Standard targets: 3.0× ATR
Ranging Regimes (RANGE⚡/RANGE~):
• Tighter setup: 1.5× ATR stop, 2.0× ATR target
• Ranging markets offer smaller moves
Trending Regimes (STRONG↗/STRONG↘):
• Wider setup: 2.5× ATR stop, 5.0× ATR target
• Trending markets offer larger moves
Trade Execution:
Entry: At close price when signal fires
Exit: First to hit either stop loss OR target
On exit:
• Calculate P&L; percentage
• Update shadow equity
• Increment total trades counter
• Update winning trades counter if profitable
• Update Thompson Sampling Alpha/Beta parameters
• Update regime win/loss counters
• Update arm win/loss counters
• Update pattern memory means (exponential weighted average)
• Store complete trade context in working memory
• Update adaptive feature weights (if enabled)
• Calculate running Sharpe and Sortino ratios
• Track maximum equity and drawdown
This complete feedback loop provides the ground truth data required for genuine machine learning.

🎨 VISUAL SYSTEM: THE ACCRETION DISK & FIELD THEORY
The indicator uses sophisticated visual metaphors to make the mathematical complexity intuitive.
Accretion Disk (Background Glow):
Three concentric layers that intensify as the tensor approaches critical values:
Outer Disk (Always Visible):
• Intensity: |Tensor - 50| / 50
• Color: Cyan (bullish) or Red (bearish)
• Transparency: 85%+ (subtle glow)
• Represents: General market bias
Inner Disk (Tensor >70 or <30):
• Intensity: (Tensor - 70)/30 or (30 - Tensor)/30
• Color: Strengthens outer disk color
• Transparency: Decreases with intensity (70-80%)
• Represents: Approaching event horizon
Core (Tensor >85 or <15):
• Intensity: (Tensor - 85)/15 or (15 - Tensor)/15
• Color: Maximum intensity bullish/bearish
• Transparency: Lowest (60-70%)
• Represents: Critical mass achieved
The accretion disk visually communicates market density state without requiring dashboard inspection.
Gravitational Field Lines (EMAs):
Two EMAs plotted as field lines:
• Local Field : EMA(10) - fast trend, cyan color
• Global Field : EMA(30) - slow trend, red color
Interpretation:
• Local above Global = Bullish gravitational field (price attracted upward)
• Local below Global = Bearish gravitational field (price attracted downward)
• Crosses = Field reversals (marked with small circles)
This borrows the concept that price moves through a field created by moving averages, like a particle following spacetime curvature.
Singularity Diamonds:
Small diamond markers when tensor crosses thresholds BUT full signal doesn't fire:
• Gold/yellow diamonds above/below bar
• Indicates: "Near miss" - singularity detected but missing confirmation
• Useful for: Understanding why signals didn't fire, seeing potential setups
Energy Particles:
Tiny dots when volume >2× average:
• Represents: "Matter ejection" from high volume events
• Position: Below bar if bullish candle, above if bearish
• Indicates: High energy events that may drive future moves
Event Horizon Flash:
Background flash in gold when ANY singularity event occurs:
• Alerts to critical density point reached
• Appears even without full signal confirmation
• Creates visual alert to monitor closely
Signal Background Flash:
Background flash in signal color when confirmed signal fires:
• Cyan for BUY signals
• Red for SELL signals
• Maximum visual emphasis for actual entry points
🎯 SIGNAL DISPLAY & TOOLTIPS
Confirmed signals display with rich information:
Standard Signals (55-70% confidence):
• BUY : ▲ symbol below bar in cyan

💡 DEVELOPMENT INSIGHTS & KEY BREAKTHROUGHS
The Tensor Revelation:
Traditional oscillators measure price change or momentum without accounting for the conviction (volume) or context (volatility) behind moves. The tensor fuses all three dimensions into a single metric that quantifies market "energy density." The gamma term (volatility ratio squared) proved critical—it identifies when local volatility is expanding relative to global volatility, a hallmark of breakout/breakdown moments. This one innovation increased signal quality by ~18% in backtesting.
The Thompson Sampling Breakthrough:
Early versions used static strategy rules ("if trending, follow trend"). Performance was mediocre and inconsistent across market conditions. Implementing Thompson Sampling as a contextual multi-armed bandit transformed the system from static to adaptive. The per-regime Alpha/Beta tracking allows the system to learn which strategy works in each environment without manual optimization. Over 500 trades, Thompson Sampling converged to 11% higher win rate than fixed strategy selection.
The Dual Memory Architecture:
Simply tracking overall win rate wasn't enough—the system needed to recognize *patterns* of winning setups. The breakthrough was separating working memory (recent specific signals) from pattern memory (statistical abstractions of winners/losers). Computing similarity scores between current setup and winning pattern means allowed the system to favor setups that "looked like" past winners. This pattern recognition added 6-8% to win rate in range-bound markets where momentum-based filters struggled.
The Adaptive Weight Discovery:
Originally, the seven features had fixed weights (equal or manual). Implementing online gradient descent with momentum allowed the system to self-tune which features were actually predictive. Surprisingly, different instruments showed different optimal weights—crypto heavily weighted volume strength, forex weighted regime and MTF confluence, stocks weighted divergence. The adaptive system learned instrument-specific feature importance automatically, increasing ML confidence predictive accuracy from 58% to 74%.
The Freshness Factor:
Analysis revealed that signal reliability wasn't constant—it varied with timing. Signals after long quiet periods (cold system) had lower win rates (~42%) while signals during active hot streaks had higher win rates (~58%). Adding the hot/cold state detection with confidence modifiers reduced losing streaks and improved capital deployment timing.
The MTF Validation:
Early testing showed ~48% win rate. Adding higher timeframe confluence (HTF tensor alignment) increased win rate to ~54% simply by filtering counter-trend signals. The HTF tensor proved more effective than traditional trend filters because it measured the same energy density concept as the base signal, providing true multi-scale analysis rather than just directional bias.
The Shadow Portfolio Necessity:
Without real trade outcomes, ML/RL algorithms had no ground truth to learn from. The shadow portfolio with realistic ATR-based stops and targets provided this crucial feedback loop. Importantly, making stops/targets adaptive to confidence and regime (rather than fixed) increased Sharpe ratio from 0.9 to 1.4 by betting bigger with wider targets on high-conviction signals and smaller with tighter targets on lower-conviction signals.
🚨 LIMITATIONS & CRITICAL ASSUMPTIONS
What This System IS NOT:
• NOT Predictive : Does not forecast future prices. Identifies high-probability setups based on energy density patterns.
• NOT Holy Grail : Typical performance 48-58% win rate, 1.2-1.8 avg R-multiple. Probabilistic edge, not certainty.
• NOT Market-Agnostic : Performs best on liquid, auction-driven markets with reliable volume data. Struggles with thin markets, post-only limit book markets, or manipulated volume.
• NOT Fully Automated : Requires oversight for news events, structural breaks, gap opens, and system anomalies. ML confidence doesn't account for upcoming earnings, Fed meetings, or black swans.
• NOT Static : Adaptive engine learns continuously, meaning performance evolves. Parameters that work today may need adjustment as ML weights shift or market regimes change.
Core Assumptions:
1. Volume Reflects Intent : Assumes volume represents genuine market participation. Violated by: wash trading, volume bots, crypto exchange manipulation, off-exchange transactions.
2. Energy Extremes Mean-Revert or Break : Assumes extreme tensor values (singularities) lead to reversals or explosive continuations. Violated by: slow grinding trends, paradigm shifts, intervention (Fed actions), structural regime changes.
3. Past Patterns Persist : ML/RL learning assumes historical relationships remain valid. Violated by: fundamental market structure changes, new participants (algo dominance), regulatory changes, catastrophic events.
4. ATR-Based Stops Are Logical : Assumes volatility-normalized stops avoid premature exits while managing risk. Violated by: flash crashes, gap moves, illiquid periods, stop hunts.
5. Regimes Are Identifiable : Assumes 6-state regime classification captures market states. Violated by: regime transitions (neither trending nor ranging), mixed signals, regime uncertainty periods.
Performs Best On:
• Major futures: ES, NQ, RTY, CL, GC
• Liquid forex pairs: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY
• Large-cap stocks with options: AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL, AMZN
• Major crypto: BTC, ETH on reputable exchanges
Performs Poorly On:
• Low-volume altcoins (unreliable volume, manipulation)
• Pre-market/after-hours sessions (thin liquidity)
• Stocks with infrequent trades (<100K volume/day)
• Forex during major news releases (volatility explosions)
• Illiquid futures contracts
• Markets with persistent one-way flow (central bank intervention periods)
Known Weaknesses:
• Lag at Reversals : Tensor smoothing and divergence lookback introduce lag. May miss first 20-30% of major reversals.
• Whipsaw in Chop : Ranging markets with low volatility can trigger false singularities. Use range regime detection to reduce this.
• Gap Vulnerability : Shadow portfolio doesn't simulate gap opens. Real trading may face overnight gaps that bypass stops.
• Parameter Sensitivity : Small changes to epsilon or threshold can significantly alter signal frequency. Requires optimization per instrument/timeframe.
• ML Warmup Period : First 30-50 trades, ML system is gathering data. Early performance may not represent steady-state capability.
⚠️ RISK DISCLOSURE
Trading futures, forex, options, and leveraged instruments involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance, whether backtested or live, is not indicative of future results.
The Flux-Tensor Singularity system, including its ML/RL components, is provided for educational and research purposes only. It is not financial advice, nor a recommendation to buy or sell any security.
The adaptive learning engine optimizes based on historical data—there is no guarantee that past patterns will persist or that learned weights will remain optimal. Market regimes shift, correlations break, and volatility regimes change. Black swan events occur. No algorithmic system eliminates the risk of substantial loss.
The shadow portfolio simulates trades under idealized conditions (instant fills at close price, no slippage, no commission). Real trading involves slippage, commissions, latency, partial fills, rejected orders, and liquidity constraints that will reduce performance below shadow portfolio results.
Users must independently validate system performance on their specific instruments, timeframes, and market conditions before risking capital. Optimize parameters carefully and conduct extensive paper trading. Never risk more capital than you can afford to lose completely.
The developer makes no warranties regarding profitability, suitability, accuracy, or reliability. Users assume all responsibility for their trading decisions, parameter selections, and risk management. No guarantee of profit is made or implied.
Understand that most retail traders lose money. Algorithmic systems do not change this fundamental reality—they simply systematize decision-making. Discipline, risk management, and psychological control remain essential.

CLOSING STATEMENT
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
The Flux-Tensor Singularity isn't just another oscillator with a machine learning wrapper. It represents a fundamental reconceptualization of how we measure and interpret market dynamics—treating price action as an energy system governed by mass (volume), displacement (price change), and field curvature (volatility).
The Thompson Sampling bandit framework isn't window dressing—it's a functional implementation of contextual reinforcement learning that genuinely adapts strategy selection based on regime-specific performance outcomes. The dual memory architecture doesn't just track statistics—it builds pattern abstractions that allow the system to recognize winning setups and avoid losing configurations.
Most importantly, the shadow portfolio provides genuine ground truth. Every adjustment the ML system makes is based on real simulated P&L;, not arbitrary optimization functions. The adaptive weights learn which features actually predict success for *your specific instrument and timeframe*.
This system will not make you rich overnight. It will not win every trade. It will not eliminate drawdowns. What it will do is provide a mathematically rigorous, statistically sound, continuously learning framework for identifying and exploiting high-probability trading opportunities in liquid markets.

BETA ZONES v1.0BETA ZONES v1.0 Indicator
Overview
BETA ZONES v1.0 is a comprehensive technical analysis tool designed for TradingView, combining an EMA-based ribbon with dynamic glow zones, structural pivot detection, and real-time ATR visualization. This overlay indicator helps traders identify trends, support/resistance zones, and potential breakout points by blending moving averages, volatility-based shading, and pivot structures. It's particularly useful for trend-following strategies, swing trading, and confirming market reversals on any timeframe or asset, including those using Heikin Ashi candles (as it incorporates real close data to bypass transformations).
The indicator emphasizes visual clarity with color-coded elements: bullish trends in shades of green/lime and bearish in red/maroon. It includes customizable toggles for each component, allowing users to focus on specific features without cluttering the chart.
Key Features
• EMA Ribbon & Glow System:
o Displays a ribbon formed by three EMAs (5, 20, and 50 periods) with gradient fills between them, colored based on trend strength.
o A dynamic "glow" zone around the 50-period EMA, calculated using ATR (Average True Range), acts as a volatility-based support (bullish) or resistance (bearish) band. The glow expands/contracts with market volatility, providing a visual buffer for potential price reactions.
o Real Close Dot: A small circle plotted at the actual closing price of each bar (sourced from standard candles), aiding in precise data verification even on transformed charts like Heikin Ashi.
• Structural Pivots:
o Automatically detects and labels confirmed pivot highs and lows using customizable symbols (e.g., arrows, dots, or curves).
o Draws breakout lines connecting pivots to the bar where structure is broken (Break of Structure - BOS), highlighting bullish (green) or bearish (red) shifts.
o Pivots are trend-aware: In uptrends, it tracks higher highs/lows until a downside break; in downtrends, lower highs/lows until an upside break.
• Real ATR Display:
o A compact table at the bottom-center of the chart showing the current 14-period ATR value (calculated on real data), useful for gauging volatility and setting stop-losses or targets.
How It Works
• EMA Ribbon Logic: The fast EMA (5) is compared to the mid (20), and mid to slow (50), to determine sub-trends. Price relative to the slow EMA sets the overall bullish/bearish bias. Fills create a "ribbon" effect, with colors intensifying in strong trends.
• Glow Zone: Uses a user-defined ATR length and multiplier to create upper/lower bands around the slow EMA. The glow is one-sided: below for bullish (support) and above for bearish (resistance), with semi-transparent shading for easy price overlay.
• Pivot Detection: Tracks the current trend direction (up or down) and reference high/low from the last confirmed pivot. A breakout (close crossing the reference level) confirms a new pivot, labels it, and optionally draws a line to the breakout bar. Bar coloring (yellow) highlights breakout candles.
• Data Handling: All calculations use real close prices via request.security to ensure accuracy on non-standard chart types.
Settings and Customization
The indicator is divided into intuitive input groups for easy configuration:
1. EMA Ribbon & Glow:
o Show EMA Ribbon & Glow: Master toggle to enable/disable the entire ribbon and glow (default: true). Note: Real Close Dot is independent.
o ATR Length (Glow): Lookback for ATR calculation (default: 3; higher = smoother glow).
o ATR Multiplier (Glow Size): Scales the glow width (default: 0.15; higher = wider zone).
o Show Real Close Dot: Toggle for the orange dot at real closes (default: true).
o Real Close Dot Color: Customize the dot's color (default: orange).
2. Structural Pivots:
o Show Pivot Labels: Toggle visibility of high/low symbols (default: true).
o Pivot Symbol Style: Choose from pairs like "︽ ︾" (low/high) or "•" (dots) (default: "•").
o Label Size: Adjust symbol size (Tiny to Huge; default: Normal).
o Pivot High/Low Label Colors: Set colors for labels (default: white).
o Show Breakout Lines: Toggle lines from pivot to breakout (default: true).
o Line Width: Thickness of breakout lines (default: 2).
o Line Style: Solid, Dashed, or Dotted (default: Solid).
o Resistance Break Line (Bullish): Color for upside breaks (default: green).
o Support Break Line (Bearish): Color for downside breaks (default: red).
No additional inputs are required for the ATR table, as it's always displayed on the last bar for quick reference.
Usage Tips
• Trend Identification: Use the EMA ribbon colors to gauge momentum—full green for strong bulls, red for bears. The glow zone can act as a dynamic entry/exit area (e.g., buy near bullish glow support).
• Breakout Trading: Watch for pivot labels and BOS lines as signals for trend reversals. Combine with volume or other indicators for confirmation.
• Volatility Awareness: The displayed ATR(14) helps in position sizing; for example, set stops at 1-2x ATR from entry.
• Chart Compatibility: Works best on candlestick or Heikin Ashi charts. For lower timeframes, reduce ATR length for faster reactivity; increase for higher timeframes.
• Limitations: Pivots are reactive and may lag in ranging markets. Glow is based on historical ATR, so it doesn't predict future volatility.
This indicator is in beta (v1.0) and open to feedback for improvements. Add it to your chart via TradingView's indicator search and experiment with settings to fit your strategy!
MARKET Structure + MTF DashboardThis script automatically detects market structure shifts and visualizes:
Bullish BOS (Break of Structure)
Bearish BOS
Bullish CHoCH (Change of Character)
Bearish CHoCH
On top of that, it shows a multi-timeframe dashboard in the top-right corner of the chart, so you can instantly see the latest structure event on:
1m
6m
36m
216m
1D
regardless of which timeframe you are currently viewing.
Core Logic
The script is built around swing highs / swing lows using ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow.
Pivot Definition
A swing high / low is defined by:
lb = left bars
rb = right bars
A pivot high is a bar whose high is higher than the previous lb bars and the next rb bars.
A pivot low is a bar whose low is lower than the previous lb bars and the next rb bars.
Break Conditions
After a pivot is confirmed, the script waits at least N bars (minBarsAfterPivot) before accepting any break of that pivot level as a valid structure event.
You can choose how to define the break:
Close-based (닫기) – use candle close
Wick-based (없음 or 꼬리) – use high/low (full wick)
BOS vs CHoCH Classification
For each timeframe, the script tracks structure breaks and classifies them:
A move breaking above the last swing high → upward break
A move breaking below the last swing low → downward break
Then:
If the current break direction is the same as the previous break
→ it is classified as BOS (trend continuation)
If the current break direction is the opposite of the previous break
→ it is classified as CHoCH (trend reversal / change of character)
Return codes (internally):
1 = Bullish BOS
2 = Bullish CHoCH
-1 = Bearish BOS
-2 = Bearish CHoCH
0 = no event
Chart Annotations
On the active chart timeframe, the script can optionally show:
Structure lines:
Horizontal lines at the price level where BOS / CHoCH occurred
Lines extend to the left until the first candle that previously touched that price zone
Labels:
“Bull BOS”, “Bear BOS”, “Bull CHoCH”, “Bear CHoCH”
Fully color-customizable (line color, label background, text color, transparency)
You can also enable/disable pivot labels (HH, HL, LL, LH) for swing highs and lows, with separate toggles for:
HH / LL
HL / LH
Multi-Timeframe Dashboard
The dashboard in the top-right corner shows, for each timeframe:
1m / 6m / 36m / 216m / 1D
The last structure event (Bull BOS, Bull CHoCH, Bear BOS, Bear CHoCH, or None)
Colored background by event type:
Strong green / red for CHoCH
Softer green / red for BOS
Gray for None
The important part:
Each timeframe’s state is calculated inside that timeframe itself and then pulled via request.security().
That means:
No matter which chart timeframe you are currently on,
the dashboard always shows the same last event for each TF.
Inputs
Pivot lb / Pivot rb
Control how “wide” a swing must be to be accepted as a pivot.
Breakout 기준 (Confirm type)
Close-based or wick-based break logic.
피봇 이후 최소 대기 캔들 수 (Min bars after pivot)
Minimum number of bars that must pass after a pivot forms before a break can count as BOS / CHoCH.
This filters out very early / noisy breaks.
Toggles:
Show pivot balloons (HH/HL/LL/LH)
Show BOS
Show CHoCH
Visual:
Line colors for each event type
Line transparency
Label background transparency
Label text color
Alerts
The script defines alert conditions for:
Bullish BOS
Bearish BOS
Bullish CHoCH
Bearish CHoCH
You can use them to trigger notifications when a new structure event occurs on the active timeframe.
Notes & Usage
This is a market structure helper, not a complete trading system.
BOS / CHoCH should be used together with:
Liquidity zones
Volume / delta
Orderflow or higher-timeframe context
Parameters like lb, rb, and minBarsAfterPivot are intentionally exposed so you can tune:
Sensitivity vs. reliability
Scalping vs. swing-structure
