Scalper Pro Pattern Recognition & Price ActionOVERVIEW
Scalper Pro is a comprehensive multi-timeframe trading indicator that combines Smart Money Concepts (SMC) with traditional technical analysis to provide scalpers and day traders with high-probability entry and exit signals. This indicator integrates multiple analytical frameworks into a unified visual system designed specifically for short-term trading strategies.
ORIGINALITY & PURPOSE
What Makes This Script Original
This script is not a simple mashup of existing indicators. Instead, it represents a carefully orchestrated integration of complementary analytical methods that work together to solve a specific problem: identifying high-probability scalping opportunities in volatile markets.
The unique value proposition:
Adaptive Trend Filtering System - Combines a customized SuperTrend algorithm with dual-period range filters (Cirrus Cloud) and Hull Moving Average trend cloud to create a three-layer trend confirmation system
Smart Money Concepts Integration - Incorporates institutional trading concepts (Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, Break of Structure) with retail technical indicators for a complete market structure view
Dynamic Risk Management - Automatically calculates stop-loss and take-profit levels based on ATR volatility, providing objective position sizing
ADX-Based Market Regime Detection - Identifies ranging vs. trending markets through ADX analysis with visual bar coloring to prevent whipsaws during consolidation
Why Combine These Specific Components
Each component addresses a specific weakness in scalping:
SuperTrend provides the primary directional bias but can generate false signals in ranging markets
Range Filters smooth out noise and confirm trend direction, reducing SuperTrend false positives
ADX Analysis prevents trading during low-volatility consolidation when most indicators fail
SMC Elements identify institutional activity zones where price is likely to react strongly
ATR-Based Risk Management adapts position sizing to current volatility conditions
The synergy creates a system where signals are only generated when multiple confirmation layers align, significantly reducing false signals common in single-indicator approaches.
HOW IT WORKS
Core Calculation Methodology
1. SuperTrend Signal Generation
The script uses a modified SuperTrend algorithm with the following calculation:
ATR = Average True Range (default: 10 periods)
Factor = 7 (default sensitivity multiplier)
Upper Band = Source + (Factor × ATR)
Lower Band = Source - (Factor × ATR)
Directional Logic:
When price crosses above SuperTrend → Bullish signal
When price crosses below SuperTrend → Bearish signal
SuperTrend value is plotted as dynamic support/resistance
Key Modification: The sensitivity parameter (nsensitivity * 7) allows users to adjust the aggressiveness of trend detection without changing the core ATR calculation.
2. Range Filter System (Cirrus Cloud)
The Range Filter uses a smoothed range calculation to filter out market noise:
Smooth Range Calculation:
WPER = (Period × 2) - 1
AVRNG = EMA(|Price - Price |, Period)
Smooth Range = EMA(AVRNG, WPER) × Multiplier
Two-Layer System:
Layer 1: 22-period with 6x multiplier (broader trend)
Layer 2: 15-period with 5x multiplier (tighter price action)
Visual Output: The space between these two filters is colored:
Green fill = Bullish trend (Layer 1 > Layer 2)
Red fill = Bearish trend (Layer 1 < Layer 2)
This creates a "cloud" that expands during strong trends and contracts during consolidation.
3. ADX Market Regime Detection
Calculation:
+DM = Positive Directional Movement
-DM = Negative Directional Movement
True Range = RMA of True Range (15 periods)
+DI = 100 × RMA(+DM, 15) / True Range
-DI = 100 × RMA(-DM, 15) / True Range
ADX = 100 × RMA(|+DI - -DI| / (+DI + -DI), 15)
Threshold System:
ADX < Threshold (default 15) = Ranging market → Bar color changes to purple
ADX > Threshold = Trending market → Normal bar coloring applies
Purpose: This prevents taking trend-following signals during sideways markets where most indicators produce whipsaws.
4. Smart Money Concepts (SMC) Integration
Order Blocks (OB):
Identified using swing high/low detection with customizable pivot length
Bullish OB: Last down-close candle before bullish Break of Structure (BOS)
Bearish OB: Last up-close candle before bearish BOS
Extended forward until price breaks through them
Fair Value Gaps (FVG):
Detected when a three-candle gap exists:
Bullish FVG: Low > High
Bearish FVG: High < Low
Filtered by price delta percentage to ensure significant gaps
Displayed as boxes that delete when price fills the gap
Break of Structure (BOS) vs. Change of Character (CHoCH):
BOS = Price breaks the previous structural high/low in the current trend direction
CHoCH = Price breaks structure in the opposite direction (potential trend reversal)
Both internal (minor) and swing (major) structures are tracked
Equal Highs/Lows (EQH/EQL):
Detected when consecutive swing highs/lows are within ATR threshold
Often indicates liquidity pools that price may sweep before reversing
5. ATR-Based Risk Management
Calculation:
ATR Band = ATR(14) × Risk Multiplier (default 3%)
Stop Loss = Entry - ATR Band (for longs) or Entry + ATR Band (for shorts)
Take Profit Levels:
TP1 = Entry + (Entry - Stop Loss) × 1
TP2 = Entry + (Entry - Stop Loss) × 2
TP3 = Entry + (Entry - Stop Loss) × 3
Dynamic Labels: Stop loss and take profit levels are automatically calculated and displayed as labels on the chart when new signals trigger.
6. Hull Moving Average Trend Cloud
HMA = WMA(2 × WMA(Close, Period/2) - WMA(Close, Period), sqrt(Period))
Period = 600 bars (long-term trend)
The HMA provides a smoothed long-term trend reference that's more responsive than traditional moving averages while filtering out short-term noise.

THEORETICAL FOUNDATION
Trend-Following Concepts
This indicator is based on the principle that markets trend more often than they range, and that trends tend to persist. The SuperTrend component captures this momentum while the range filters prevent premature entries during pullbacks.
Smart Money Theory
The SMC elements are based on the concept that institutional traders (banks, hedge funds) leave footprints in the form of:
Order Blocks: Areas where large orders were placed
Fair Value Gaps: Inefficient price movements that may be revisited
Liquidity Sweeps: Stop hunts before continuation (EQH/EQL)
Volatility-Based Position Sizing
Using ATR for stop-loss placement ensures that stop distances adapt to current market conditions:
Tight stops in low volatility (avoids excessive risk)
Wider stops in high volatility (avoids premature stop-outs)
PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS
Realistic Expectations
Win Rate:
Expected: 45-55% (trend-following systems rarely exceed 60%)
Higher win rates on trending days
Lower win rates during consolidation (even with ADX filter)
Risk-Reward Ratio:
Target: 1.5:1 minimum (TP2)
Achievable: 2:1 to 3:1 on strong trends
Drawdowns:
Normal: 10-15% of account during choppy periods
Maximum: Should not exceed 20% with proper risk management
Optimization Tips
Backtesting Recommendations:
Test on at least 1 year of historical data
Include different market conditions (trending, ranging, volatile)
Adjust SuperTrend sensitivity per instrument
Optimize ADX threshold for your specific market
Record trades to identify personal execution errors
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Can I use this for automated trading?
A: The indicator provides signals, but you'll need to code a strategy script separately for automation. The signals can trigger alerts that connect to trading bots.
Q: Why do I see conflicting signals?
A: This is normal during transition periods. Wait for all confirmation layers to align before entering.
Q: How often should I expect signals?
A: Depends on timeframe and market conditions. On 5m charts during trending markets: 3-7 quality setups per session.
Q: Can I use only some features?
A: Yes, all components can be toggled on/off. However, the system works best with all confirmations active.
Q: What's the difference between internal and swing structures?
A: Internal = minor price structures (smaller pivots). Swing = major price structures (larger pivots). Both provide different levels of confirmation.

-DM = Negative Directional Movement
True Range = RMA of True Range (15 periods)
+DI = 100 × RMA(+DM, 15) / True Range
-DI = 100 × RMA(-DM, 15) / True Range
ADX = 100 × RMA(|+DI - -DI| / (+DI + -DI), 15)
Threshold System:
ADX < Threshold (default 15) = Ranging market → Bar color changes to purple
ADX > Threshold = Trending market → Normal bar coloring applies
Purpose: This prevents taking trend-following signals during sideways markets where most indicators produce whipsaws.
4. Smart Money Concepts (SMC) Integration

ICT PDA - Gold & BTC (QuickScalp Bias/FVG/OB/OTE + Alerts)What this script does
This indicator implements a complete ICT Price Delivery Algorithm (PDA) workflow tailored for XAUUSD and BTCUSD. It combines HTF bias, OTE zones, Fair Value Gaps, Order Blocks, micro-BOS confirmation, and liquidity references into a single, cohesive tool with early and final alerts. The script is not a mashup for cosmetic plotting; each component feeds the next decision step.
Why this is original/useful
Symbol-aware impulse filter: A dynamic displacement threshold kTune adapts to Gold/BTC volatility (body/ATR vs. per-symbol factor), reducing noise on fast markets without hiding signals.
Scalping preset: “Quick Clean” mode limits drawings to the most recent bars and keeps only the latest FVG/OB zones for a clear chart.
Three display modes: Full, Clean, and Signals-Only to match analysis vs. execution.
Actionable alerts: Early heads-up when price enters OTE in the HTF bias direction, and Final alerts once mitigation + micro-break confirm the setup.
How it works (high-level logic)
HTF Bias: Uses request.security() on a user-selected timeframe (e.g., 240m) and EMA filter. Bias = close above/below HTF EMA.
Dealing Range & OTE: Recent swing high/low (pivot length configurable) define the range; OTE (62–79%) boxes are drawn contextually for up/down ranges.
Displacement: A candle’s body/ATR must exceed kTune and break short-term structure (displacement up/down).
FVG: 3-bar imbalance (bull: low > high ; bear: high < low ). Latest gaps are tracked and extended.
Order Blocks: Last opposite candle prior to a qualifying displacement that breaks recent highs/lows; zones are drawn and extended.
Entry & Alerts:
Long: Bullish bias + price inside buy-OTE + mitigation of a bullish FVG or OB + micro BOS up → “PDA Long (Final)”.
Short: Bearish bias + price inside sell-OTE + mitigation of a bearish FVG or OB + micro BOS down → “PDA Short (Final)”.
Early Alerts: Trigger as soon as price enters OTE in the direction of the active bias.
Inputs & controls (key ones)
Bias (HTF): timeframe minutes, EMA length.
Structure: ATR length, Impulse Threshold (Body/ATR), swing pivot length, OB look-back.
OTE/FVG/OB/LP toggles: show/hide components.
Auto-Tune: per-symbol factors for Gold/BTC + manual tweak.
Display/Performance: View Mode, keep-N latest FVG/OB, limit drawings to last N bars.
Recommended usage (scalping)
Timeframes: Execute on M1–M5 with HTF bias from 120–240m.
Defaults (starting point): ATR=14, Impulse Threshold≈1.6; Gold factor≈1.05, BTC factor≈0.90; Keep FVG/OB=2; last 200–300 bars; View Mode=Clean.
Workflow: Wait for OTE in bias direction → see mitigation (FVG/OB) → confirm with micro BOS → manage risk to nearest liquidity (prev-day H/L or recent swing).
Alerts available
“PDA Early Long/Short”
“PDA Long (Final)” / “PDA Short (Final)”
Attach alerts on “Any alert() function call” or the listed conditions.

Dollar Volume Ownership Gauge Dollar Volume Ownership Gauge (DVOG)
By: Mando4_27
Version: 1.0 — Pine Script® v6
Overview
The Dollar Volume Ownership Gauge (DVOG) is designed to measure the intensity of real money participation behind each price bar.
Instead of tracking raw share volume, this tool converts every bar’s trading activity into dollar volume (price × volume) and highlights the transition points where institutional capital begins to take control of a move.
DVOG’s mission is simple:
Show when the crowd is trading vs. when the institutions are buying control.
Core Concept
Most retail traders focus on share count (volume) — but institutions think in dollar exposure.
A small-cap printing a 1-million-share candle at $1 is very different from a 1-million-share candle at $10.
DVOG normalizes this by displaying total traded dollar value per bar, then color-codes and alerts when the volume of money crosses key thresholds.
This exposes the exact moments when ownership is shifting — often before major breakouts, reclaims, or exhaustion reversals.
How It Works
Dollar Volume Calculation
Each candle’s dollar volume is computed as close × volume.
Data is aggregated from the 5-minute timeframe regardless of your current chart, allowing consistent institutional-flow detection on any resolution.
Threshold Logic
Two customizable levels define interest zones:
$500K Threshold → Early or moderate institutional attention.
$1M Threshold → High-conviction or aggressive accumulation.
Both levels can be edited to fit different market caps or trading styles.
Bar Coloring Scheme
Red = Dollar Volume ≥ $1,000,000 → Significant institutional activity / control bar.
Green = Dollar Volume ≥ $500,000 and < $1,000,000 → Emerging accumulation / transition bar.
Black = Below $500,000 → Retail or low-interest zone.
(Colors are intentionally inverted from standard expectation: when volume intensity spikes, the bar turns hotter in tone.)
Plot Display
Histogram style plot displays 5-minute aggregated dollar volume per bar.
Dotted reference lines mark $500K and $1M levels, with live right-hand labels for quick reading.
Optional debug label shows current bar’s dollar value, closing price, and raw volume for transparency.
Alerts & Conditions
DVOG includes three alert triggers for hands-off monitoring:
Alert Name Trigger Message Purpose
Green Bar Alert – Dollar Volume ≥ $500K When dollar volume first crosses $500K “Institutional interest starting on ” Signals early money entering.
Dollar Volume ≥ $500K Same as above, configurable “Early institutional interest detected…” Broad alert option.
Dollar Volume ≥ $1M When dollar volume first crosses $1M “Significant money flow detected…” Indicates heavy institutional presence or ignition bar.
You can enable or disable alerts via checkbox inputs, allowing you to monitor just the levels that fit your style.
Interpretation & Use Cases
Identify Institutional “Ignition” Points:
Watch for sudden green or red DVOG bars after long low-volume consolidation — these often precede explosive continuation moves.
Confirm Breakouts & Reclaims:
If price reclaims a key level (HOD, neckline, or coil top) and DVOG flashes green/red, odds strongly favor follow-through.
Spot Trap Exhaustion:
After a flush or low-volume fade, the first strong green/red DVOG bar can mark the institutional reclaim — the moment retail control ends.
Filter Noise:
Ignore standard volume spikes. DVOG only reacts when dollar ownership materially changes hands, not when small traders churn shares.
Customization
Setting Default Description
$500K Threshold 500,000 Lower limit for “Green” institutional attention.
$1M Threshold 1,000,000 Upper limit for “Red” heavy institutional control.
Show Alerts ✅ Enable or disable global alerts.
Alert on Green Bars ✅ Toggle only the $500K crossover alerts.
Adjust thresholds to match the liquidity of your preferred tickers — for example, micro-caps may use $100K/$300K, while large-caps might use $5M/$20M.
Reading the Output
Black baseline = Noise / retail chop.
First Green bar = Smart money starts building position.
Red bar(s) = Ownership shift confirmed — institutions active.
Flat-to-rising pattern in DVOG = Sustained accumulation; often aligns with strong trend continuation.
Summary
DVOG transforms raw volume into actionable context — showing you when capital, not hype, is moving.
It’s particularly effective for:
Momentum and breakout traders
Liquidity trap reclaims (Kuiper-style setups)
Identifying early ignition bars before halts
Confirming frontside strength in micro-caps
Use DVOG as your ownership radar — the visual cue for when the market stops being retail and starts being real.
STRIKE BOXThis **“STRIKE BOX”** Pine Script is used by traders to visually define and track the **New York Opening Range (OR)** — one of the most important time windows in intraday trading — and to monitor how price behaves relative to that range throughout the rest of the session.
Here’s the breakdown of what it’s used for and why traders care:
---
### 🕘 **Purpose**
The script automatically identifies and plots:
1. **The New York Opening Range (8:00–9:30 AM NY time)** – where institutional volume begins to surge.
2. **The Trading Session (9:30–17:00 NY time)** – the official U.S. stock market hours.
It marks the **high and low of the opening range** and then watches for **breakouts** or **retests** during the rest of the day.
---
### 💡 **Why traders use this**
1. **Identify key liquidity zones**
* The high and low of the opening range often represent **areas of trapped traders**, **liquidity pools**, and **institutional positioning**.
* Price tends to **revisit or react strongly** around these levels.
2. **Find breakout or reversal opportunities**
* Traders wait for price to **break above or below** the OR to confirm **directional bias** for the day.
* For example:
* A break above the OR high = possible bullish continuation.
* A break below the OR low = possible bearish momentum.
* If price fails to break and stays inside the range, that signals a **choppy or consolidating market**.
3. **Define risk and targets easily**
* The OR gives **natural stop-loss and take-profit zones**.
* A trader can buy near the OR low and target the OR high, or vice versa.
4. **Filter trades during high-volume hours**
* The New York session overlaps with London for a bit — this is when **most daily volume and volatility** occur.
* Many traders only want to trade inside or just after this opening period.
---
### 📊 **How this script helps**
* It **automatically draws lines** for the OR high and low.
* It plots **vertical dashed lines** marking when the OR starts and ends.
* It **detects when price breaks the OR** (sets `High_Break` or `Low_Break` to true).
* It provides clear **visual zones** for decision-making instead of manually drawing them every day.
---
### 🧠 In short
Traders use this to:
* See where the **New York Opening Range** formed.
* Watch for **breakouts or fakeouts** beyond that range.
* Align their trades with **institutional market flow**.
* Keep charts **clean and systematic** rather than guessing daily key levels.

Volatility Channel Oscillator█ OVERVIEW
"Volatility Channel Oscillator" is a technical indicator that analyzes price volatility relative to dynamic price channels, displaying an oscillator, its moving average, and signals based on crossovers and divergences. The indicator offers customizable overbought and oversold levels, gradient visualization, and divergence detection, supported by alerts for key signals.
█ CONCEPTS
The VCO indicator creates dynamic price channels based on a moving average of the price (calculated as the arithmetic mean of the high and low prices: (high + low) / 2) and market volatility (measured as the average candle range and body size). These channels are not displayed on the chart but are used to calculate the oscillator value, which reflects the position of the closing price relative to the channel width, scaled to a range from -100 to +100, with the zero line as the central point. A moving average of the oscillator (SMA) smooths its values, enabling signals based on crossovers with the zero line or overbought/oversold levels. The indicator also detects divergences between price and the oscillator, which may indicate potential trend reversals. VCO is useful for identifying market momentum, reversal points, and trend confirmation, especially when combined with other technical analysis tools.
█ FEATURES
- Volatility Channels: Calculates invisible chart boundaries based on a simple moving average (SMA) of the price (high + low) / 2 and volatility (average candle range and body). The length parameter (default 30) sets the SMA length, and scale (default 200%) adjusts the channel width.
- Oscillator: Determines the oscillator value in the range of -100 to +100, indicating the closing price's position relative to the volatility channel. Displayed with dynamic coloring (green for positive values, red for negative).
- Oscillator Moving Average: A simple moving average (SMA) of the oscillator values, smoothing its movements. The signalLength parameter (default 20) defines the SMA length. Displayed in yellow with an optional gradient.
- Overbought/Oversold Levels: Configurable thresholds for the oscillator (overbought, default 50; oversold, default -50) and its moving average (maOverbought, default 30; maOversold, default -30), shown as horizontal lines with optional gradients. Band colors change dynamically (red for overbought, green for oversold, gray for neutral) based on the moving average's position relative to maOverbought/maOversold, reinforcing other signals.
- Divergences: Detects bullish (price forms a lower low, oscillator a higher low) and bearish (price forms a higher high, oscillator a lower high) divergences using pivots (pivotLength, default 2). Divergences are displayed with a delay equal to the pivot length; larger lengths increase reliability but delay signals. Use as additional confirmation.
Signals:
- Overbought/Oversold Crossovers: Green triangles (buy) when the oscillator crosses above the oversold level, red triangles (sell) when it crosses below the overbought level.
- Zero Line Crossovers: Buy/sell signals when the oscillator crosses the zero line upward (buy) or downward (sell).
- Moving Average Crossovers: Buy/sell signals when the oscillator's moving average crosses the zero line or the maOverbought/maOversold levels. Dynamic band color changes (red/green) at these crossovers reinforce other signals.
- Visualization: Gradient lines for the oscillator, its moving average, overbought/oversold levels, and zero line, with adjustable transparency. Gradient fill between the oscillator and zero line.
Divergence Labels: "Bull" (bullish) and "Bear" (bearish) labels with customizable color and transparency.
- Alerts: Built-in alerts for divergences, overbought/oversold crossovers, and zero line crossovers by the oscillator and its moving average.
█ HOW TO USE
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator via Pine Editor or the Indicators menu on TradingView.
Configure Settings:
- Channel and Oscillator Settings: Adjust the channel SMA length (length, default 30) and channel scaling (scale, default 200%). Increase scale for high-volatility markets.
- Threshold Levels: Set oscillator overbought (overbought, default 50) and oversold (oversold, default -50) levels, and moving average thresholds (maOverbought, default 30; maOversold, default -30).
- Divergence Settings: Enable/disable divergence detection (calculateDivergence) and set pivot length (pivotLength, default 2). Larger values increase reliability but delay signals.
- Signal Settings: Choose signal types (signalType): overbought/oversold, zero line, moving average, or all.
- Styling: Customize colors for the oscillator, moving average, horizontal levels, and divergence labels. Adjust gradient and fill transparency.
Interpreting Signals:
- Buy Signals: Green triangles below the bar when the oscillator or its moving average crosses above the oversold level or zero line.
- Sell Signals: Red triangles above the bar when the oscillator or its moving average crosses below the overbought level or zero line.
- Moving Average Signals: Green/red triangles when the moving average crosses maOverbought/maOversold levels, indicating potential reversals or trend continuation. Dynamic band color changes (red for overbought, green for oversold) at these crossovers reinforce other signals.
- Divergences: "Bull" (bullish) and "Bear" (bearish) labels indicate potential trend reversals with a delay based on pivot length. Use as confirmation.
- Overbought/Oversold Levels: Monitor price reactions in these zones as potential reversal points. Dynamic band color changes based on the moving average reinforce signals.
Signal Confirmation: Use VCO with other tools, such as pivot levels (for key turning points) or Fibonacci levels (for support/resistance zones).
█ APPLICATIONS
- Trend Trading: Zero line crossovers by the oscillator or its moving average identify momentum in uptrends or downtrends.
- Range Trading: Overbought/oversold levels help identify entry/exit points in sideways markets.
- Divergences: Use bullish/bearish divergences as additional confirmation of reversals, especially near key price levels.
- Trend Identification: To analyze trends over a longer perspective, increase the moving average length (signalLength) for more stable signals.
█ NOTES
- Test the indicator across different timeframes and markets to optimize parameters, such as length and scale, for your trading style.
- In strong trends, overbought/oversold levels may persist, requiring additional signal verification.
- Divergences are more reliable on higher timeframes (H4, D1), where market noise is reduced, but their delay requires caution.
- In low-liquidity markets, signals may be less effective, so use on high-liquidity assets is recommended.
First-Move-Wrong Toolkit [CHE] First-Move-Wrong Toolkit — Session-bound sweep rejection with structure confirmation
Summary
This indicator marks potential “first move wrong” reversals during a defined trading session. It looks for a quick sweep beyond the prior day high or low, or the opening range high or low, followed by rejection and a basic structure confirmation. Optional rules require a retest and a VWAP reclaim in the direction of the trade idea. The script renders session levels as right-extended lines, signals as labels, optional SL/TP guide lines for visualization, and background tints during sweep events. Pivots are confirmed using swing width, which reduces repaint risk compared to live swings.
Motivation: Why this design?
Intraday reversals often start with a liquidity sweep around obvious highs or lows. Acting on the sweep alone can be noisy, while waiting for structure break and a retest can be slow. This tool balances both by checking a sweep and rejection at session-relevant levels, then requiring a simple structure cue and, optionally, a retest and a VWAP filter. The goal is a clear, rule-based signal layer that is easy to audit on chart without hidden state.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline reference: Simple sweep detectors or basic CHOCH markers that ignore session context and liquidity anchors.
Architecture differences:
Session-aware opening range tracking that finalizes after the chosen minutes from session start.
Daily previous high and low pulled without lookahead, then extended forward as visual anchors.
Confirmed pivot highs and lows to avoid repaint from live, unconfirmed swings.
Optional retest rule using crossover or crossunder at the trigger level.
Optional VWAP filter to demand reclaim in the intended direction.
Global label cooldown to prevent clusters of signals.
Practical effect: Fewer one-off flips around noisy levels, clearer alignment with session structure, and compact visual feedback through lines, labels, and tints.
How it works (technical)
Levels: During the defined session, the script builds an opening range high and low until the configured minute mark after session start, then freezes those levels for the day. It also fetches the previous day high and low from the daily timeframe without lookahead and extends them forward.
Sweep and rejection: A sweep is defined as price moving beyond a target level and then rejecting back inside on the same bar. The script checks this condition separately for highs and lows against opening range and previous-day levels.
Structure validation: Confirmed pivot highs and lows are computed using a symmetric swing width. A bearish idea requires a prior sweep of a high plus a break through the last confirmed swing low. A bullish idea requires a prior sweep of a low plus a break through the last confirmed swing high.
Optional retest: If enabled, a bearish signal needs a cross under the bearish trigger level; a bullish signal needs a cross over the bullish trigger level.
VWAP filter (optional): The script requires a reclaim of VWAP in the intended direction when enabled.
State handling: Opening range values, previous-day lines, and the label cooldown timestamp are stored in persistent variables. Lines are created once and updated each bar to extend forward.
Repaint considerations: Pivots confirm only after the specified swing width, reducing repaint. The daily level request is performed without lookahead. Signals use closed-bar checks implied by crossover and crossunder logic.
Parameter Guide
Session (local) — Defines the active trading window. Default nine to seventeen. Narrower windows focus on the main session drive.
Opening Range (min) — Minutes from session start to finalize OR levels. Default fifteen. Shorter values react faster; longer values stabilize levels.
Use PrevDay H/L levels — Toggle previous-day anchors. On by default.
Use OR H/L levels — Toggle opening range anchors. On by default.
Equal H/L tolerance (ticks) — Intended tolerance for equal highs or lows. Default one. (Unknown/Optional) in current signals.
Swing width — Bars on both sides for confirmed pivots. Default two. Larger values reduce noise but confirm later.
Require CHOCH after sweep — Enforces structure break after a sweep. On by default.
Prefer retest entries — Requires crossover or crossunder of the trigger level. On by default.
VWAP filter — Demands a reclaim of VWAP in signal direction. Off by default.
TP in R (guide) — Multiplier for visual TP guides. Default one. Visualization only.
Show levels / Show signals / Show R-guides — Rendering toggles. R-guides are visual aids, not orders.
Label cooldown (bars) — Minimum bars between labels. Default five. Higher values reduce clusters.
Palette inputs — Colors and transparencies for levels, labels, VWAP, and tints.
Reading & Interpretation
Lines: Dotted lines represent opening range high and low after the OR window completes. Dashed lines represent previous-day high and low.
Signals: “Long” labels appear after a low-side sweep with rejection and structure confirmation, subject to optional retest and VWAP rules. “Short” labels mirror this on the high side.
Background tints: Red-tinted bars indicate a high-side sweep and rejection. Green-tinted bars indicate a low-side sweep and rejection.
R-guides: Circles display a visual stop level at the bar extreme and a target guide based on the selected multiple. They are informational only.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Session reversal scans: During the first hour, watch for sweeps around previous-day or opening range levels, then wait for structure confirmation and optional retest.
Trend following with filters: Combine signals with higher-timeframe structure or a moving average regime check. Ignore signals against the dominant regime.
Exits and stops: Use the visual stop as a reference near the sweep extreme; adapt the target guide to volatility and market conditions.
Multi-asset / Multi-TF: Works on intraday timeframes for liquid futures, indices, forex, and large-cap equities. Start with default settings and adjust swing width and OR minutes to instrument volatility.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint/confirmation: Pivots confirm after the swing window completes. Signals occur only when conditions are met on closed bars.
security()/HTF: Daily previous-day levels are requested without lookahead to reduce repaint.
Resources: Uses persistent variables and line updates per bar; no heavy loops or arrays.
Known limits: Signals can arrive later when swing width is large. Gaps around session boundaries may distort OR levels. VWAP behavior may vary with partial sessions or illiquid assets.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Starting point: Session nine to seventeen, opening range fifteen minutes, swing width two, CHOCH required, retest on, VWAP off, cooldown five bars.
Too many flips: Increase swing width, enable VWAP filter, or raise label cooldown.
Too sluggish: Reduce swing width or shorten the opening range window.
Too many session-level hits: Disable either previous-day levels or opening range levels to simplify context.

Daytrade Forex Scalper TwinPulse Auction Timer IndicatorWhat this indicator is
TwinPulse Auction Timer is a multi component execution aid designed for liquid markets. It looks for two families of opportunities
Breakouts that leave a compression area after a fresh sweep
Reversals that trigger after a sweep with strong wick polarity
It does not try to predict future prices. It measures present auction conditions with transparent rules and shows you when those conditions align. You get a simple table that says LONG SHORT or WAIT, optional session shading, clean entry and exit level visuals, and alerts you can wire to your workflow.
Why it is different
Most tools show a single signal. TwinPulse combines several independent signals into an Edge Score that you can tune. The components are
• Pulse. A signed measure of wick asymmetry with candle body direction
• Compression. Current true range compared with an average range
• Sweep timer. Bars elapsed since the most recent sweep of a prior high or low
• Bias. Direction of a higher timeframe candle
• Regime. Efficiency ratio and the relation of micro to macro volatility
• Location. Distance from the daily anchored VWAP
• Session. London and New York filter by time windows
Each component is visible in the inputs and in the table so you can understand why a suggestion appears. The script uses request.security() with lookahead off in all calls so it does not peek into the future. Shapes may move while a bar is open since price is still forming. They stop moving when the bar closes.
What you will see on the chart
• L and S shapes on entry bars
• An Exit shape at the price where a stop or the runner target would have been hit
• Four horizontal lines while a trade is active
Entry
Stop
TP1 at one R
TP2 at the runner target expressed in R
• Labels anchored to each line so you can instantly read Entry SL TP1 and TP2 with current values
• Optional shading during your session windows
• Optional daily VWAP line
The table in the top right shows
Action LONG SHORT IN LONG IN SHORT or WAIT
Session ON or OFF
Bias UP DOWN or FLAT
Pulse value
Compression value
Edge L percent and Edge S percent
How it works in detail
Pulse
For each bar the script measures up wick minus down wick divided by range and multiplies that by the sign of the candle body. The result is averaged with pulse_len. Positive numbers indicate aggressive buying. Negative numbers indicate aggressive selling. You control the minimum absolute value with pulse_thr.
Compression
Compression is the ratio of current range to an average range. You can choose the range basis. HL SMA uses simple high minus low smoothed by range_len. ATR uses classic True Range smoothed by atr_len. Values below comp_thr indicate a coil.
Sweeps and the timer
A sweep occurs when price trades beyond the highest high or lowest low seen in the previous sweep_len bars. A strict sweep requires a close back inside that prior range. The timer measures how many bars have elapsed since the last sweep. Breakout setups require the timer to exceed timer_thr.
Bias on a confirmation timeframe
A higher timeframe candle is read with confirm_tf. If close is above open bias is UP. If close is below open bias is DOWN. This keeps breakouts aligned with the prevailing drift.
Regime filters
Efficiency ratio measures the straight line change over the sum of absolute bar to bar changes over er_len. It rises in trendy conditions and falls in noise. Minimum efficiency is controlled by er_min.
Micro to macro volatility ratio compares a short lookback average range with a longer lookback average range using your chosen basis. For breakouts you usually want micro volatility to be near or above macro hence mvr_min. For reversals you often want micro volatility that is not overheated relative to macro hence mvr_max_rev.
VWAP distance gate
Daily anchored VWAP is rebuilt from the open of each session. The script computes the absolute distance from VWAP in units of your average range and requires that distance to exceed vwap_dist_thr when use_vwap_gate is true. This keeps entries away from the mean.
Edge Score
Each gate contributes a weight that you control. The script sums weights of the satisfied gates and divides by the sum of all weights to produce an Edge percent for long and an Edge percent for short. You can then require a minimum Edge percent using edge_min_pct. This turns the indicator into a step by step checklist that you can tune to your taste.
Using the indicator step by step
Choose markets and timeframes
The logic is designed for liquid instruments. Major currency pairs, index futures and cash index CFDs, and the most liquid crypto pairs work well. On intraday use one to fifteen minutes for signals and fifteen to sixty minutes for confirmation. On swing use one hour to one day for signals and one day for confirmation.
Decide on entry mode
Breakouts require a compression area and a sweep timer. Reversals require a strict sweep and a strong pulse. If you are unsure leave the default which allows both.
Pick a range basis
For FX and crypto HL SMA is often stable. For indices and single name equities with gaps ATR can adapt better. If results look too reactive increase the window. If results are too slow reduce it.
Tune regime filters
If you trade trend continuation raise er_min and mvr_min. If you trade counter rotation lower them and rely on the reversal path with the strict sweep condition.
Set the VWAP gate
Enabling it helps you avoid entries at the mean. Push the threshold higher on range bound days. Reduce it in strong trend days.
Table driven decision
Watch Action and the Edge percents. If the script says WAIT you can read Pulse and Compression to see what is missing. Often the best trades appear when both Edge percents are well separated and your session switch is ON.
Use the visuals
When a suggestion triggers you will see entry stop and targets. You can mirror the levels in your own workflow or use alerts.
Consider bar close
Signals are computed in real time. For a strict process you can wait until the bar closes to reduce noise.
Inputs explained with quick guidance
Setup
Signal TF chooses where the logic is computed. Leave blank to use the chart.
Confirm TF sets the higher timeframe for bias.
Session filter restricts signals to the London and New York windows you specify.
Invert flips long and short. It is useful on inverse instruments.
Logic options
Entry mode allows Breakouts Reversals or Both.
Average range basis selects HL SMA or ATR.
ATR length is used when ATR is selected.
Pulse source can be Regular OHLC or Heikin Ashi. Heikin Ashi smooths noisy series, but the script still runs on regular bars and you should publish and use it on standard candles to respect the platform guidance.
Core numeric settings
Sweep lookback controls the size of the liquidity pool targeted by the sweep condition.
Pulse window smooths the wick polarity measure.
Average range window controls your base range when you use HL SMA.
Pulse threshold sets the minimum polarity required.
Compression threshold sets the maximum current range relative to average to consider the market coiled.
Expansion timer bars sets how much time has passed since the last sweep before you allow a breakout.
Regime filters
Efficiency ratio length and minimum value keep you out of aimless drift.
Micro and Macro range lengths feed the micro to macro ratio.
Minimum micro to macro for breakouts and maximum micro to macro for reversals steer the two entry families.
VWAP gate and distance threshold keep you away from the mean.
Levels and trade management visuals
Runner target in R sets TP2 as a multiple of initial risk.
Stop distance as average range multiple sets initial risk size for the visuals.
Move stop to entry after one R touch turns on break even logic once price has traveled one risk unit.
Trail buffer as R fraction uses the last sweep as an anchor and keeps a dynamic stop at a chosen fraction of R beyond it.
Cooldown after exit prevents immediate re entries.
Edge Score
Weights for pulse compression timer bias efficiency ratio micro to macro VWAP gate and session let you align the checklist with your style.
Minimum Edge percent to suggest applies a final filter to LONG or SHORT suggestions.
UI
Table and markers switch the compact dashboard and the shapes.
TP and SL lines and labels draw and name each level.
TP1 partial label percent is printed in the TP1 label for clarity.
Session shading helps with focus.
Daily VWAP line is optional.
Alerts
The script provides alerts for Long Short Exit and for Edge percent crossing the threshold on either side. Use them to drive notifications or to sync with webhooks and your broker integration. Alerts trigger in real time and will repaint during a bar. For conservative use trigger on bar close.

No indicator is perfect. TwinPulse will mark attractive conditions that do not always lead to profitable trades. During economic releases or very thin liquidity the assumptions behind compression and sweeps may fail. In strong gap environments the HL SMA basis may lag while ATR may overreact. Heikin Ashi pulse can help in choppy markets but it will lag during sharp reversals. Session times use the exchange time of your chart. If you switch symbol or exchange verify the windows.
Edge percent is not a probability of profit. It is the fraction of satisfied gates with your chosen weights. Two traders can set different weights and see different Edge readings on the same bar. That is the design. The score is a guide that helps you act with discipline.
This indicator does not place orders or manage real risk. The lines and labels show a model entry a model stop and two model targets built from the average range at entry and from recent swing points. Use them as references and not as hard rules. Always test on historical data and demo first. Past results do not guarantee anything in the future.
Credits and originality
All code in this publication is original and written for this indicator. The concept of the efficiency ratio originates from Perry Kaufman. The use of a daily anchored volume weighted average price is a standard industry tool. The specific combination of pulse from wick polarity strict sweep timing compression and the tunable Edge Score is unique to this script at the time of publication. If you reuse parts of the open source code in your own work remember to credit the author and contribute meaningful improvements.
How to read the table at a glance
Action reflects your current state.
IN LONG or IN SHORT appears while a trade is active.
LONG or SHORT appears when conditions for entry are met and the Edge threshold is satisfied.
WAIT appears when at least one gate is missing.
Session shows ON during your chosen windows.
Bias shows the color of the confirmation candle.
Pulse is the smoothed polarity number.
Comp shows current range divided by the average range. Values below one mean compression.
Edge L percent and Edge S percent show the long and short checklists as percents.
Final thoughts
Markets move because orders accumulate at certain prices and at certain times. The indicator tries to measure two things that often matter at those turning points. One is the existence of a hidden imbalance revealed by wick polarity and by sweeps of prior extremes. The other is the presence of energy stored in a coil that can release in the direction of a drift. Neither force guarantees profit. Together they can improve your selection and your timing.
Use the defaults for a few days so you learn the personality of the signals. After that adjust one group at a time. Start with the session filter and the Edge threshold. Then tune compression and the timer. Finally adjust the regime filters. Keep notes. You will learn which weights matter for your market and timeframe. The result is a process you can apply with consistency.

ICT Suspension BlocksICT Suspension Block (SB) Indicator
The ICT Suspension Block (SB) is a three-candle price action pattern that often act as support or resistance zones. A Suspension Block is a three-candle pattern showing a brief pause in price efficiency before continuation. These zones frequently serve as areas where price may later return, offering traders potential trading opportunities.
Pattern Definition
A Suspension Block forms when three consecutive candles move in the same direction but leave behind a specific body-to-body imbalance. (a gap between the bodies of consecutive candles).
Bullish Suspension Block (+SB):
All three candles are bullish (close > open).
Candle 1 close < Candle 2 open.
Candle 2 close < Candle 3 open.
Zone = from Candle 1 close to Candle 3 open.
Bearish Suspension Block (-SB):
All three candles are bearish (close < open).
Candle 1 close > Candle 2 open.
Candle 2 close > Candle 3 open.
Zone = from Candle 1 close to Candle 3 open.
These zones mark areas where price was temporarily imbalanced. Price often “respects” these levels later, either bouncing from them or breaking through them, which can provide valuable trade context.
Application
Suspension Blocks are used to mark areas where price may later react:
A Bullish SB can act as potential support.
A Bearish SB can act as potential resistance.
The significance of a block depends on market context. Blocks formed during strong, impulsive moves tend to be more meaningful than those in consolidation.
How the Indicator Works
Identifies bullish and bearish suspension blocks using body gap imbalances.
Draws colored zones (green = bullish, red = bearish) directly on the chart.
Extends zones forward until they are inversed by price action.
Once inversed, zones switch to a neutral color, allowing traders to annotate/extend them manually if desired.
Includes Consequent Encroachment (CE) lines (the 50% equilibrium of the block), which many traders use as reaction levels.
Features
Customizable colors for bullish, bearish, and inversed zones
Extend blocks indefinitely forward or limit them to a set number of bars
Adjustable maximum number of displayed blocks for performance control
Consequent Encroachment (CE) (Middle Point, 50%, Equilibrium) line feature
Configurable CE line style, color, and width
How to Use It
Trend Following: Blocks forming in the direction of trend can act as continuation zones.
Reversals: Opposite-direction blocks may signal exhaustion and potential turning points.
Liquidity Levels: CE lines (50% of block) often serve as reaction levels for entries, partials, or stop placement.
Context is Key: Suspension Blocks should not be used in isolation. Combine them with market structure, liquidity pools, or other confluence factors for best results.
Notes
This indicator is intended for technical analysis and research.
It should always be combined with proper risk management and a complete trading plan.
Past market behavior does not guarantee future results.
GEX Options Flow Pro 100% free
INTRODUCTION
This script is designed to visualize advanced options-derived metrics and levels on TradingView charts, including Gamma Exposure (GEX) walls, gamma flip points, vanna levels, delta-neutral prices (DEX), max pain, implied moves, and more. It overlays dynamic lines, labels, boxes, and an info table to highlight potential support, resistance, volatility regimes, and flow dynamics based on options data.
These visualizations aim to help users understand how options market structure might influence price action, such as areas of potential stability (positive GEX) or volatility (negative GEX). All data is user-provided via pasted strings, as Pine Script cannot fetch external options data directly due to platform limitations (detailed below).
The script is open-source under TradingView's terms, allowing study, modification, and improvement. It draws inspiration from standard options Greeks and exposure metrics (e.g., gamma, vanna, charm) discussed in financial literature like Black-Scholes models and dealer positioning analyses. No external code is copied; all logic is original or based on mathematical formulas.
Disclaimer: This is an educational tool only. It does not provide investment advice, trading signals, or guarantees of performance. Past data is not indicative of future results. Use at your own risk, and combine with your own analysis. Not intended for qualified investors only.
How the Options Levels Are Calculated
Levels are not computed in Pine Script—they rely on pre-calculated values from external tools (e.g., Python scripts using libraries like yfinance for options chains). Here's how they're typically derived externally before pasting into the script:
Fetching Options Data: Retrieve options chain for a ticker: strikes, open interest (OI), volume, implied volatility (IV), expirations (e.g., shortest: 0-7 DTE, short: 7-14 DTE, medium: ~30 DTE, long: ~90 DTE). Get current price and 5-day history for context.
Gamma Walls (Put/Call Walls): Compute gamma for each option using Black-Scholes: gamma = N'(d1) / (S * σ * √T) where S = spot price, K = strike, T = time to expiration (years), σ = IV, N'(d1) = normal PDF. Aggregate GEX at strikes: GEX = sign * gamma * OI * 100 * S^2 * 0.01 (per 1% move, with sign based on dealer positioning: typically short calls/puts = negative GEX). Put Wall: Highest absolute GEX put strike below S (support via dealer buying on dips). Call Wall: Highest absolute GEX call strike above S (resistance via dealer selling on rallies). Secondary/Tertiary: Next highest levels. Historical walls track tier-1 levels over 5 days.
Gamma Flip: Net GEX profile across prices: Sum GEX for all options at hypothetical spots. Flip point: Interpolated price where net GEX changes sign (stable above, volatile below).
Vanna Levels: Vanna = -N'(d1) * d2 / σ. Weighted by OI; highest positive/negative strikes.
DEX (Delta-Neutral Price): Net dealer delta: Sum (delta * OI * 100 * sign), with delta from Black-Scholes. DEX: Price where net delta = 0 (interpolated).
Max Pain: Strike minimizing total intrinsic value for all options holders.
Skew: 25-delta skew: IV difference between 25-delta put and call (interpolated).
Net GEX/Delta: Total signed GEX/delta at current S.
Implied Move: ATM IV * √(DTE/365) for 1σ range.
C/P Ratio: (Call OI + volume) / (Put OI + volume).
Smart Stop Loss: Below lowest support (e.g., Put Wall, gamma flip), buffered by IV * √(DTE/30).
Other Metrics: IV: ATM average. 5-day metrics: Avg volume, high/low.
External tools handle dealer assumptions (e.g., short calls/puts) and scaling (per % move).
Effect as Support and Resistance in Technical Trading
Options levels reflect dealer hedging dynamics:
Put Wall (Gamma Support): High put GEX creates buying pressure on dips (dealers hedge short puts by buying stock). Use for long entries, bounces, or stops below.
Call Wall (Gamma Resistance): High call GEX leads to selling on rallies. Good for trims, shorts, or reversals.
Gamma Flip: Pivot for volatility—above: dampened moves (positive GEX, mean reversion); below: amplified trends (negative GEX, momentum).
Vanna Levels: Sensitivity to IV changes; crosses may signal vol shifts.
DEX: Dealer delta neutral—bullish if price below with positive delta.
Max Pain: Price magnet minimizing option payouts.
Implied Move/Confidence Bands: Expected ranges (1σ/2σ/3σ); breakouts suggest extremes.
Liquidity Zones: Wall ranges as price magnets.
Smart Stop Loss: Protective level below supports, IV-adjusted.
C/P Ratio & Skew: Sentiment (high C/P = bullish; high skew = put demand).
Net GEX: Positive = low vol strategies (e.g., condors); negative = momentum trades.
Combine with TA (e.g., volume, trends). High activity strengthens effects; alerts on crosses/proximities for awareness.
Limitations of the TradingView Platform for Data Pulling
Pine Script is sandboxed:
No API calls or internet access (can't fetch options data directly).
Limited to chart/symbol data; no real-time chains.
Inputs static per load; manual updates needed.
Caching not persistent across sessions.
This ensures lightweight scripts but requires external data sourcing.
Creative Solution for On-Demand Data Pulling
Users can use external tools (e.g., Python scripts with yfinance) to fetch/compute data on demand. Generate a formatted string (ticker,timestamp|term1_data|term2_data|...), paste into inputs. Tools can process multiple tickers, cache for ~15-30 min, and output strings for quick portfolio scanning. Run locally or via custom setups for near-real-time updates without platform violations.
For convenience, a free bot is available on my website that accepts commands like !gex to generate both current data strings (for all expiration terms) and historical walls data on demand. This allows users to easily obtain fresh or cached data (refreshed every ~30 min) for pasting into the indicator—ideal for scanning portfolios without manual coding.
Script Functionality Breakdown
Inputs: Data strings (current/historical); term selector (Shortest/Short/Medium/Long); toggles (historical walls, GEX profile, secondaries, vanna, table, max pain, DEX, stop loss, implied move, liquidity, bands); colors/styles.
Parsing: Extracts term-specific data; validates ticker match; gets timestamp for freshness.
Drawing: Dynamic lines/labels (width/color by GEX strength); boxes (moves, zones, bands); clears on updates.
Info Table: Dashboard with status (freshness emoji), Greeks (GEX/delta with emojis), vol (IV/skew), levels (distances), flow (C/P, vol vs 5D).
Historical Walls: Displays past tier-1 walls on daily+ timeframes.
Alerts: 20+ conditions (e.g., near/cross walls, GEX sign change, high IV).
Performance: Efficient for real-time; smart label positioning.
Release Notes
Initial release: Full features including multi-term support, enhanced table with emojis/sentiment, dynamic visuals, smart stop loss.
Data String Format: TICKER,TIMESTAMP|TERM1_DATA|TERM2_DATA|TERM3_DATA|TERM4_DATA Where each TERM_DATA = val0,val1,...,val30 (31 floats: current_price, prev_close, call_wall_1, call_wall_1_gex, ..., low_5d). Historical: TICKER|TERM1_HIST|... where TERM_HIST = date:cw,pw;date:cw,pw;...

Dynamic Volume Trace Profile [ChartPrime]⯁ OVERVIEW
Dynamic Volume Trace Profile is a reimagined take on volume profile analysis. Instead of plotting a static horizontal histogram on the side of your chart, this indicator projects dynamic volume trace lines directly onto the price action. Each bin is color-graded according to its relative strength, creating a living “volume skeleton” of the market. The orange trace highlights the current Point of Control (POC)—the price level with maximum historical traded volume within the lookback window. On the right side, the tool builds a mini profile, showing absolute volume per bin alongside its percentage share, where the POC always represents 100% strength .
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Dynamic On-Chart Bins:
The range between highest high and lowest low is split into 25 bins. Each bin is drawn as a horizontal trace line across the lookback chart period.
Gradient Color Encoding:
Trace lines fade from transparent to teal depending on relative volume size. The more intense the teal, the stronger the historical traded activity at that level.
Automatic POC Highlight:
The bin with the highest aggregated volume is flagged with an orange line . This POC adapts bar-by-bar as volume distribution shifts.
Right-Side Volume Profile:
At the chart’s right edge, the script prints a box-style profile. Each bin shows:
• Total volume (absolute units).
• Percentage of max volume, in parentheses (POC bin = 100%).
This gives both raw and normalized context at a glance.
Adjustable Lookback Window:
The lookback defines how many bars feed the profile. Increase for stable HTF zones or decrease for responsive intraday distributions.
POC Toggle & Styling:
Optionally toggle POC highlighting on/off, adjust colors, and set line thickness for better integration with your chart theme.
⯁ HOW IT WORKS (UNDER THE HOOD)
Step Sizing:
over last 100 bars is divided by to calculate bin height.
Volume Aggregation:
For each bar in the , the script checks which bin the close falls into, then adds that bar’s volume to the bin’s counter.
Gradient Mapping:
Bin volume is normalized against the max volume across all bins. That value is mapped onto a gradient from transparent → teal.
POC Logic:
The bin with highest volume is colored orange both on the dynamic trace and in the right-side profile.
Right-Hand Profile:
Boxes are drawn for each bin proportional to volume / maxVolume × 50 units, with text labels showing both absolute volume and normalized %.
⯁ USAGE
Use the orange trace as the dominant “magnet” level—price often gravitates to the POC.
Watch for clusters of strong teal traces as areas of high acceptance; thin or faint zones mark low-liquidity gaps prone to fast moves.
On intraday charts, tighten lookback to reveal session-based distributions . For swing or position trading, expand lookback to surface more durable volume shelves.
Compare the right-side profile % to judge how “top-heavy” or “bottom-heavy” the current distribution is.
Use bright, intense color traces as context for confluence with structure, OBs, or liquidity hunts.
⯁ CONCLUSION
Dynamic Volume Trace Profile takes the traditional volume profile and fuses it into the body of price itself. Instead of a fixed sidebar, you see gradient traces layered directly on the chart, giving real-time context of where volume concentrated and where price may be drawn. With built-in POC highlighting, normalized % readouts, and an adaptive right-side profile, it offers both precision levels and market structure awareness in a cleaner, more intuitive form.
Volume Profile 3D (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Volume Profile 3D (Zeiierman) is a next-generation volume profile that renders market participation as a 3D-style profile directly on your chart. Instead of flat histograms, you get a depth-aware profile with parallax, gradient transparency, and bull/bear separation, so you can see where liquidity stacked up and how it shifted during the move.
Highlights:
3D visual effect with perspective and depth shading for clarity.
Bull/Bear separation to see whether up bars or down bars created the volume.
Flexible colors and gradients that highlight where the most significant trading activity took place.
This is a state-of-the-art volume profile — visually powerful, highly flexible, and unlike anything else available.
█ How It Works
⚪ Profile Construction
The price range (from highest to lowest) is divided into a number of levels (buckets). Each bar’s volume is added to the correct level, based on its average price. This builds a map of where trading volume was concentrated.
You can choose to:
Aggregate all volume at each level, or
Split bullish vs. bearish volume , slightly offset for clarity.
This creates a clear view of which price zones matter most to the market.
⚪ 3D Effect Creation
The unique part of this indicator is how the 3D projection is built. Each volume block’s width is scaled to its relative size, then tilted with a slope factor to create a depth effect.
maxVol = bins.bu.max() + bins.be.max()
width = math.max(1, math.floor(bucketVol / maxVol * ((bar_index - start) * mult)))
slope = -(step * dev) / ((bar_index - start) * (mult/2))
factor = math.pow(math.min(1.0, math.abs(slope) / step), .5)
width → determines how far the volume extends, based on relative strength.
slope → creates the angled projection for the 3D look.
factor → adjusts perspective to make deeper areas shrink naturally.
The result is a 3D-style volume profile where large areas pop forward and smaller areas fade back, giving you immediate visual context.
█ How to Use
⚪ Support & Resistance Zones (HVNs and Value Area)
Regions where a lot of volume traded tend to act like walls:
If price approaches a high-volume area from above, it may act as support.
From below, it may act as resistance.
Traders often enter or exit near these zones because they represent strong agreement among market participants.
⚪ POC Rejections & Mean Reversions
The Point of Control (POC) is the single price level with the highest volume in the profile.
When price returns to the POC and rejects it, that’s often a signal for reversal trades.
In ranging markets, price may bounce between edges of the Value Area and revert to POC.
⚪ Breakouts via Low-Volume Zones (LVNs)
Low volume areas (gaps in the profile) offer path of least resistance:
Price often moves quickly through these thin zones when momentum builds.
Use them to spot breakouts or continuation trades.
⚪ Directional Insight
Use the bull/bear separation to see whether buyers or sellers dominated at key levels.
█ Settings
Use Active Chart – Profile updates with visible candles.
Custom Period – Fixed number of bars.
Up/Down – Adjust tilt for the 3D angle.
Left/Right – Scale width of the profile.
Aggregated – Merge bull/bear volume.
Bull/Bear Shift – Separate bullish and bearish volume.
Buckets – Number of price levels.
Choose from templates or set custom colors.
POC Gradient option makes high volume bolder, low volume lighter.

ATR Regime Study [CHE] ATR Regime Study — ATR percentile regimes with clear bands, table and live label
Summary
This study classifies volatility into five regimes by converting ATR into a percentile rank over a rolling window, plotted on a standardized scale between zero and one hundred. Colored bands mark regime thresholds, while a compact table and an optional label report the current percentile and regime. The standardized scale makes symbols and timeframes easier to compare than raw ATR values. Implemented in Pine v6 as a separate pane (overlay set to false), it is a context tool to adapt tactics and risk handling to the prevailing volatility environment.
Motivation: Why this design?
Raw ATR varies with price scale and asset characteristics, which makes regime comparison inconsistent and leads to poor transfer of settings across symbols and timeframes. The core idea is to transform ATR into a percentile rank within a user-defined lookback, then map it into discrete regimes. This yields a stable, interpretable context signal that shifts slower than raw ATR while still responding to genuine volatility changes.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Reference baseline: Traditional ATR plots or ATR bands using fixed multipliers.
Architecture differences:
Percentile ranking of ATR within a rolling window.
Five discrete regimes with fixed thresholds at ninety, seventy, thirty, and ten.
Visual fills between thresholds plus a live table and a last-bar label.
Practical effect: You read a single normalized line between zero and one hundred with consistent thresholds. This improves cross-asset comparison and makes regime shifts obvious at a glance.
How it works (technical)
The script computes ATR over a configurable length, then converts that series to a percentile rank over a configurable number of bars. The percentile is naturally scaled and limited between zero and one hundred. That value is mapped to one of five regimes: above ninety (Extreme), between seventy and ninety (Elevated), between thirty and seventy (Normal), between ten and thirty (Calm), and below ten (Squeeze). Horizontal guide lines mark the thresholds, and fills shade the regions. A table is created once and updated on each bar to show regime definitions and highlight the current row. An optional label on the last bar displays the current percentile and regime. No higher-timeframe requests are used, so repaint risk is limited to normal live-bar fluctuation until the bar closes.
Parameter Guide
ATR length — Effect: Controls how fast ATR reacts to new ranges. Default: fourteen. Trade-offs/Tips: Increase to reduce noise in choppy markets; decrease to react faster during regime changes.
Percentile window (bars) — Effect: Number of bars used for the percentile ranking. Default: two hundred fifty-two. Trade-offs/Tips: Larger windows stabilize the percentile but slow adaptation after structural regime shifts; smaller windows adapt faster but may flip more often.
Table › Show — Effect: Toggles the regime overview table. Default: enabled. Trade-offs/Tips: Disable on constrained layouts to reduce visual clutter.
Table › Position — Effect: Anchors the table in a chart corner. Default: Top Right. Trade-offs/Tips: Choose a corner that avoids overlapping other panels or drawings.
Label › Show — Effect: Toggles a last-bar label with current percentile and regime. Default: enabled. Trade-offs/Tips: Useful for quick reads; disable if it obscures other annotations.
Reading & Interpretation
The white line shows ATR percentile between zero and one hundred. Crossing above seventy signals an elevated volatility environment; above ninety indicates event-driven extremes. Between thirty and seventy represents typical conditions. Between ten and thirty indicates calm conditions that often suit mean reversion. Below ten reflects compression, where breakout probability often increases. The colored bands visually reinforce these ranges. The table summarizes regime definitions and highlights the current state. The last-bar label mirrors the current percentile and regime for quick inspection.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Prefer continuation tactics when the percentile holds in the Normal or Elevated bands and structure confirms higher highs and higher lows. Consider wider stops and partial position sizing as percentile rises.
Mean reversion: Favor fades in Calm regimes within defined ranges; use structure filters and time-of-day constraints to avoid low-liquidity whipsaws.
Breakout preparation: Track compressions below ten; plan entries only with structure confirmation and risk caps, since compressions can persist.
Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults travel well on daily charts. For intraday, reduce the percentile window to align with session dynamics. Combine with trend or market structure tools for confirmation.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint/confirmation: The percentile updates during live bars and stabilizes on close; closed bars do not repaint.
security/HTF: Not used. If you add higher-timeframe aggregation externally, account for standard repaint caveats.
Resources: Declared maximum bars back is two thousand; limits for lines and labels are five hundred each. A short loop updates the table rows; arrays are used for table content only.
Known limits: Regime boundaries are fixed; assets with persistent volatility shifts may require window retuning. Low-liquidity periods and gaps can produce abrupt percentile changes. ATR is direction-agnostic and should be paired with trend or structure context.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with ATR length fourteen and percentile window two hundred fifty-two on daily charts.
Too many flips: Increase ATR length or increase the percentile window.
Too sluggish: Decrease the percentile window or reduce ATR length.
Intraday noise: Keep ATR length moderate and reduce the window to a session-appropriate size; optionally hide the label to declutter.
Compressed markets: Maintain defaults but rely more on structure and volume filters before acting.

Initial Balance SMC-V3
Initial Balance SMC-V3 – An Advanced Mean Reversion Indicator for Index Markets
The Initial Balance SMC-V3 indicator is the result of continuous refinement in mean reversion trading, with a specific focus on index markets (such as DAX, NASDAQ, S&P 500, etc.). Designed for high-liquidity environments with controlled volatility, it excels at precisely identifying value zones and statistical reversal points within market structure.
🔁 Mean Reversion at Its Core
At the heart of this indicator lies a robust mean reversion logic: rather than chasing extreme breakouts, it seeks returns toward equilibrium levels after impulsive moves. This makes it especially effective in ranging markets or corrective phases within broader trends—situations where many traders get caught in false breakouts.
🎯 Signals Require Breakout + Confirmation
Signals are never generated impulsively. Instead, they require a clear sequence of confirmations:
Break of a key level (e.g., Initial Balance high/low or an SMC zone);
Price re-entry into the range accompanied by a crossover of customizable moving averages (SMA, EMA, HULL, TEMA, etc.);
RSI filter to avoid entries in overbought/oversold extremes;
Volatility filter (ATR) to skip low-volatility, choppy conditions.
This multi-layered approach drastically reduces false signals and significantly improves trade quality.
📊 Built-in Multi-Timeframe Analysis
The indicator features native multi-timeframe logic:
H1 / 15-minute charts: for structural analysis and identification of Supply & Demand zones (SMC);
M1 / M5 charts: for precise trade execution, with targeted entries and dynamic risk management.
SMC zones are calculated on higher timeframes (e.g., 4H) to ensure structural reliability, while actual trade signals trigger on lower timeframes for maximum precision.
⚙️ Advanced Customization
Full choice of moving average type (SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, VWMA, HULL, TEMA, ZLEMA, etc.);
Revenge Trading logic: after a stop loss is hit without reaching the 1:1 breakeven level, the indicator automatically prepares for a counter-trade;
Dynamic ATR-based stop loss with customizable multiplier;
Session filters to trade only during optimal liquidity windows (e.g., European session).
🧠 Who Is It For?
This indicator is ideal for traders who:
Primarily trade indices;
Prefer mean reversion strategies over pure trend-following;
Seek a disciplined, rule-based system with multiple confluence filters;
Use a multi-timeframe approach to separate analysis from execution.
In short: Initial Balance SMC-V3 is more than just an indicator—it’s a complete trading framework for mean reversion on index markets, where every signal emerges from a confluence of statistical, structural, and temporal factors.
Happy trading! 📈

SuperSmoother MA OscillatorSuperSmoother MA Oscillator - Ehlers-Inspired Lag-Minimized Signal Framework
Overview
The SuperSmoother MA Oscillator is a crossover and momentum detection framework built on the pioneering work of John F. Ehlers, who introduced digital signal processing (DSP) concepts into technical analysis. Traditional moving averages such as SMA and EMA are prone to two persistent flaws: excessive lag, which delays recognition of trend shifts, and high-frequency noise, which produces unreliable whipsaw signals. Ehlers’ SuperSmoother filter was designed to specifically address these flaws by creating a low-pass filter with minimal lag and superior noise suppression, inspired by engineering methods used in communications and radar systems.
This oscillator extends Ehlers’ foundation by combining the SuperSmoother filter with multi-length moving average oscillation, ATR-based normalization, and dynamic color coding. The result is a tool that helps traders identify market momentum, detect reliable crossovers earlier than conventional methods, and contextualize volatility and phase shifts without being distracted by transient price noise.
Unlike conventional oscillators, which either oversimplify price structure or overload the chart with reactive signals, the SuperSmoother MA Oscillator is designed to balance responsiveness and stability. By preprocessing price data with the SuperSmoother filter, traders gain a signal framework that is clean, robust, and adaptable across assets and timeframes.
Theoretical Foundation
Traditional MA oscillators such as MACD or dual-EMA systems react to raw or lightly smoothed price inputs. While effective in some conditions, these signals are often distorted by high-frequency oscillations inherent in market data, leading to false crossovers and poor timing. The SuperSmoother approach modifies this dynamic: by attenuating unwanted frequencies, it preserves structural price movements while eliminating meaningless noise.
This is particularly useful for traders who need to distinguish between genuine market cycles and random short-term price flickers. In practical terms, the oscillator helps identify:
Early trend continuations (when fast averages break cleanly above/below slower averages).
Preemptive breakout setups (when compressed oscillator ranges expand).
Exhaustion phases (when oscillator swings flatten despite continued price movement).
Its multi-purpose design allows traders to apply it flexibly across scalping, day trading, swing setups, and longer-term trend positioning, without needing separate tools for each.
The oscillator’s visual system - fast/slow lines, dynamic coloration, and zero-line crossovers - is structured to provide trend clarity without hiding nuance. Strong green/red momentum confirms directional conviction, while neutral gray phases emphasize uncertainty or low conviction. This ensures traders can quickly gauge the market state without losing access to subtle structural signals.
How It Works
The SuperSmoother MA Oscillator builds signals through a layered process:
SuperSmoother Filtering (Ehlers’ Method)
At its core lies Ehlers’ two-pole recursive filter, mathematically engineered to suppress high-frequency components while introducing minimal lag. Compared to traditional EMA smoothing, the SuperSmoother achieves better spectral separation - it allows meaningful cyclical market structures to pass through, while eliminating erratic spikes and aliasing. This makes it a superior preprocessing stage for oscillator inputs.
Fast and Slow Line Construction
Within the oscillator framework, the filtered price series is used to build two internal moving averages: a fast line (short-term momentum) and a slow line (longer-term directional bias). These are not plotted directly on the chart - instead, their relationship is transformed into the oscillator values you see.
The interaction between these two internal averages - crossovers, separation, and compression - forms the backbone of trend detection:
Uptrend Signal : Fast MA rises above the slow MA with expanding distance, generating a positive oscillator swing.
Downtrend Signal : Fast MA falls below the slow MA with widening divergence, producing a negative oscillator swing.
Neutral/Transition : Lines compress, flattening the oscillator near zero and often preceding volatility expansion.
This design ensures traders receive the information content of dual-MA crossovers while keeping the chart visually clean and focused on the oscillator’s dynamics.
ATR-Based Normalization
Markets vary in volatility. To ensure the oscillator behaves consistently across assets, ATR (Average True Range) normalization scales outputs relative to prevailing volatility conditions. This prevents the oscillator from appearing overly sensitive in calm markets or too flat during high-volatility regimes.
Dynamic Color Coding
Color transitions reflect underlying market states:
Strong Green : Bullish alignment, momentum expanding.
Strong Red : Bearish alignment, momentum expanding.
These visual cues allow traders to quickly gauge trend direction and strength at a glance, with expanding colors indicating increasing conviction in the underlying momentum.
Interpretation
The oscillator offers a multi-dimensional view of price dynamics:
Trend Analysis : Fast/slow line alignment and zero-line interactions reveal trend direction and strength. Expansions indicate momentum building; contractions flag weakening conditions or potential reversals.
Momentum & Volatility : Rapid divergence between lines reflects increasing momentum. Compression highlights periods of reduced volatility and possible upcoming expansion.
Cycle Awareness : Because of Ehlers’ DSP foundation, the oscillator captures market cycles more cleanly than conventional MA systems, allowing traders to anticipate turning points before raw price action confirms them.
Divergence Detection : When oscillator momentum fades while price continues in the same direction, it signals exhaustion - a cue to tighten stops or anticipate reversals.
By focusing on filtered, volatility-adjusted signals, traders avoid overreacting to noise while gaining early access to structural changes in momentum.
Strategy Integration
The SuperSmoother MA Oscillator adapts across multiple trading approaches:
Trend Following
Enter when fast/slow alignment is strong and expanding:
A fast line crossing above the slow line with expanding green signals confirms bullish continuation.
Use ATR-normalized expansion to filter entries in line with prevailing volatility.
Breakout Trading
Periods of compression often precede breakouts:
A breakout occurs when fast lines diverge decisively from slow lines with renewed green/red strength.
Exhaustion and Reversals
Oscillator divergence signals weakening trends:
Flattening momentum while price continues trending may indicate overextension.
Traders can exit or hedge positions in anticipation of corrective phases.
Multi-Timeframe Confluence
Apply the oscillator on higher timeframes to confirm the directional bias.
Use lower timeframes for refined entries during compression → expansion transitions.
Technical Implementation Details
SuperSmoother Algorithm (Ehlers) : Recursive two-pole filter minimizes lag while removing high-frequency noise.
Oscillator Framework : Fast/slow MAs derived from filtered prices.
ATR Normalization : Ensures consistent amplitude across market regimes.
Dynamic Color Engine : Aligns visual cues with structural states (expansion and contraction).
Multi-Factor Analysis : Combines crossover logic, volatility context, and cycle detection for robust outputs.
This layered approach ensures the oscillator is highly responsive without overloading charts with noise.
Optimal Application Parameters
Asset-Specific Guidance:
Forex : Normalize with moderate ATR scaling; focus on slow-line confirmation.
Equities : Balance responsiveness with smoothing; useful for capturing sector rotations.
Cryptocurrency : Higher ATR multipliers recommended due to volatility.
Futures/Indices : Lower frequency settings highlight structural trends.
Timeframe Optimization:
Scalping (1-5min) : Higher sensitivity, prioritize fast-line signals.
Intraday (15m-1h) : Balance between fast/slow expansions.
Swing (4h-Daily) : Focus on slow-line momentum with fast-line timing.
Position (Daily-Weekly) : Slow lines dominate; fast lines highlight cycle shifts.
Performance Characteristics
High Effectiveness:
Trending environments with moderate-to-high volatility.
Assets with steady liquidity and clear cyclical structures.
Reduced Effectiveness:
Flat/choppy conditions with little directional bias.
Ultra-short timeframes (<1m), where noise dominates.
Integration Guidelines
Confluence : Combine with liquidity zones, order blocks, and volume-based indicators for confirmation.
Risk Management : Place stops beyond slow-line thresholds or ATR-defined zones.
Dynamic Trade Management : Use expansions/contractions to scale position sizes or tighten stops.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation : Filter lower-timeframe entries with higher-timeframe momentum states.
Disclaimer
The SuperSmoother MA Oscillator is an advanced trend and momentum analysis tool, not a guaranteed profit system. Its effectiveness depends on proper parameter settings per asset and disciplined risk management. Traders should use it as part of a broader technical framework and not in isolation.
