cd_VW_CxOverview
The cd_VW_Cx is a sophisticated trend analysis tool designed to quantify market momentum using Multi-Period VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price). Unlike standard indicators, this script evaluates the current price relationship across multiple historical VWAP anchors to generate a real-time "Confidence Score" ranging from -100 to +100.
💡 Key Features
• Dynamic Anchoring: Seamlessly switch between Daily, Weekly, or Monthly open anchors to align with your trading style (Scalping, Day Trading, or Swing).
• Algorithmic Scoring (The Score Box): The indicator compares the current VWAP against historical periods.
o Score > +70: Strong Bullish Momentum.
o Score < -70: Strong Bearish Momentum.
• Polyline Rendering: Utilizes Pine Script v6’s advanced polyline architecture for high-performance, sleek visual plotting that doesn't clutter your chart.
• Institutional Support/Resistance: Historical VWAP levels are color-coded, often acting as "invisible" magnetic zones where institutional orders are clustered.
🛠 How to Trade with cd_VW_Cx
1. Momentum Confirmation: Look for the Score Box to turn Teal (Bullish) or Red (Bearish). This indicates that the current trend has statistical backing from multiple previous sessions.
2. The Breakout Signal: The script tracks price crossovers of the current VWAP. A "Bullish Breakout" combined with a high score is a high-probability entry signal.
3. Visual Guidance: Use the custom labels to identify which specific day/week/month’s VWAP is currently being tested as support or resistance.
⚙️ Customizable Settings
• Anchor Selection: Choose the calculation basis (Daily, Weekly, Monthly).
• Thresholds: Adjust the sensitivity of the Bullish/Bearish alerts (Default is +/- 70).
• Visuals: Full control over table positioning, font sizes, and color palettes to match your chart theme.

⚙️ Settings & Configuration
• Timeframe Selection: Your chart timeframe must be lower than the selected Anchor timeframe. (e.g., If "Daily Open" is selected, the timeframe should be lower than 1D).
• Anchor Choice: Select Daily, Weekly, or Monthly opens.
• Source Selection: Default value is set to ohlc4. Source Settings:
Filtering Criteria Examples:
• Bullish Filtering: Find assets with high momentum scores.
• Bullish Breakout (Single Criteria): Filters assets that have closed above the current VWAP level.
• Combined Strength (Score + Breakout): Filters assets that have a Score > 70 AND a fresh VWAP Breakout simultaneously.
________________________________________
⚠️ Important Notes & Warnings
• Calculation Logic: The indicator calculates levels and scores on timeframes lower than the anchor. It is best used on timeframes that are close to but lower than the anchor.
• Avoid Extreme Gaps: Using a very low timeframe (e.g., 1m) with a very high anchor (e.g., Monthly) increases the risk of erroneous results.
• Optimization: The default score threshold of 70 is a starting point; I recommend adjusting it based on your own trading experience.
• The Power of Confluence: VWAP levels are naturally strong. Their significance increases when they coincide with institutional levels like PDH (Previous Day High), Session H/L, or HTF FVG.
• Experience Matters: A high score alone is not enough for an entry. Always combine this data with your personal strategy.

Gann Octave 8 Ver.2.0Gann Octave 8 Ver.2.0 - Complete Trading Guide
Overview
This indicator combines W.D. Gann's time-tested principles of market geometry with modern technical analysis. It identifies key market structures and projects precise support/resistance levels along with angular momentum lines to help traders identify high-probability trading opportunities.
________________________________________
Core Concepts
1. Gann's Octave Division (The Rule of 8)
W.D. Gann discovered that markets move in harmonic divisions based on the number 8. This indicator divides any swing movement into 8 equal parts (octaves):
• 0% - Swing extreme (High for bearish, Low for bullish)
• 12.5% - First octave
• 25% - Quarter level
• 37.5% - Three-eighths level
• 50% - Midpoint (most critical level)
• 62.5% - Five-eighths level
• 75% - Three-quarter level
• 87.5% - Seventh octave
• 100% - Swing extreme (opposite end)
Why 8? Gann believed natural market cycles follow mathematical harmonics. The octave division provides precise entry and exit points that frequently act as support/resistance zones.
2. Gann Angles (Price-Time Relationship)
Gann angles represent the relationship between price movement and time. Each angle shows different momentum levels:
• 1x1 (Black) - 45° angle, perfect balance between price and time. Most important Gann angle. Represents the natural trend line.
• 2x1 (Red) - Steeper angle, 2 units of price per 1 unit of time. Shows strong momentum.
• 1x2 (Red) - Flatter angle, 1 unit of price per 2 units of time. Shows weak momentum.
• 4x1 & 1x4 (Blue) - Even more extreme angles indicating very strong or very weak trends.
• 8x1 & 1x8 (Orange) - Most extreme angles, parabolic moves or complete consolidation.
Key Principle: When price is above the 1x1 angle = bullish. Below 1x1 = bearish. When price crosses from one angle to another, it signals a change in momentum.
________________________________________
How the Indicator Works
Structure Detection
The indicator automatically identifies market swings using pivot points:
1. Bullish Structure (Green): Detected when price makes a higher high
o Octave levels calculated from swing low (0%) to swing high (100%)
o Gann angles project upward from the swing low
2. Bearish Structure (Red): Detected when price makes a lower low
o Octave levels calculated from swing high (0%) to swing low (100%)
o Gann angles project downward from the swing high
Dynamic Updates
• Swing Tracker ON: Levels update continuously as the swing evolves
• Swing Tracker OFF: Levels lock at the initial swing detection (cleaner charts)
Historical Structures
The indicator maintains previous swing structures based on "Number of Swings to Show":
• Set to 1: Only current structure (cleanest)
• Set to 2-3: Current + recent history (recommended for context)
• Set to 4+: Multiple historical structures (may overlap but shows pattern)

Trading Strategy
Entry Signals
BUY SIGNALS (Green Triangle Up ▲)
Signal 1: Bounce from Support Levels
• Price drops to 0%, 50%, or 100% level and reverses
• Best when combined with bullish candlestick pattern (hammer, engulfing)
• Entry: On signal confirmation
• Stop Loss: Below the support level (0.5-1% below)
• Target: Next octave level up (12.5%, 25%, 50%)
Signal 2: Breakout Above Resistance
• Price breaks above 50% or 100% level with momentum
• Confirms trend continuation or reversal
• Entry: On close above the level
• Stop Loss: Below the breakout level
• Target: Previous swing high or next major level
Signal 3: Gann Angle Support
• Price bounces off 1x1 angle (black line)
• Indicates trend is intact
• Entry: When price respects the angle
• Stop Loss: Below the 1x1 angle
• Target: Next resistance level
SELL SIGNALS (Red Triangle Down ▼)
Signal 1: Rejection from Resistance Levels
• Price rallies to 0%, 50%, or 100% level and reverses
• Best when combined with bearish candlestick pattern (shooting star, bearish engulfing)
• Entry: On signal confirmation
• Stop Loss: Above the resistance level (0.5-1% above)
• Target: Next octave level down (87.5%, 75%, 50%)
Signal 2: Breakdown Below Support

• Indicates trend weakness
• Entry: When price rejects the angle
• Stop Loss: Above the 1x1 angle
• Target: Next support level
________________________________________
Advanced Trading Techniques
1. The 50% Rule (Most Powerful)
The 50% octave level is the most critical in Gann theory:
• In Uptrend: Price should not break below 50% retracement. If it holds = trend intact, go long.
• In Downtrend: Price should not break above 50% retracement. If it holds = trend intact, go short.
• Reversal: Breaking and closing beyond 50% often signals trend reversal.
2. Gann Angle Confluence
When multiple Gann angles converge with octave levels = HIGH probability zone:
• Look for price to bounce or reverse at these zones
• Example: 1x2 angle meets 50% level = strong support/resistance
• These zones often become pivot points
3. Multiple Timeframe Analysis
• Use higher timeframe (daily) for major structure
• Use lower timeframe (5min, 15min) for precise entries
• Take trades when both timeframes align
4. Swing Failure Pattern
• Price breaks a key level (e.g., 50%) but quickly reverses back
• This "false breakout" often leads to strong move in opposite direction
• Wait for signal in the reversal direction

Price vs Moving Average Cross (Golden & Death Signals)This indicator detects price crossings against multiple moving averages, not crossings between moving averages themselves.
🔹 Core Concept
A Golden Signal occurs when the price (close) crosses above a selected moving average.
A Death Signal occurs when the price (close) crosses below a selected moving average.
⚠️ This is NOT a moving-average-to-moving-average crossover indicator.
It is a price-to-moving-average crossover indicator.
📈 Moving Average Settings
The indicator uses three independent moving averages, each configurable by the user:
1️⃣ Moving Average 1 (Golden Signal)
Default: 20-period
Type: EMA or SMA
Signal:
Price crossing above MA → Golden Signal
2️⃣ Moving Average 2 (Golden Signal)
Default: 50-period
Type: EMA or SMA
Signal:
Price crossing above MA → Golden Signal
3️⃣ Moving Average 3 (Death Signal)
Default: 100-period
Type: EMA or SMA
Signal:
Price crossing below MA → Death Signal
🔔 Signal Logic
Signal Type Condition
Golden Cross 1 Close price crosses above MA 1
Golden Cross 2 Close price crosses above MA 2
Death Cross Close price crosses below MA 3
Each signal is evaluated independently.
📊 Visual Representation
Green Up Arrow → Price crosses above MA 1
Purple Up Arrow → Price crosses above MA 2
Red Down Arrow → Price crosses below MA 3
All moving averages are plotted directly on the price chart.
🎯 Practical Use Cases
Identifying trend initiation points
Confirming pullback breakouts
Acting as an entry timing assistant
Using MA 3 as a trend filter / exit warning
⚠️ Important Notes
This indicator may generate false signals in sideways or ranging markets.
Best used in combination with:
Higher-timeframe trend confirmation
Volume indicators
Support & resistance levels
🧠 Summary
✔️ Price ↔ Moving Average crossover
❌ Moving Average ↔ Moving Average crossover
This indicator is designed for trend-following traders who want clear and simple price confirmation signals.

Statistical Deviation per AssetINDICATOR: STATISTICAL DEVIATION PER ASSET (SDPA)
1. Overview
The Statistical Deviation per Asset (SDPA) is a quantitative analysis tool designed to measure the strength and exhaustion of price movements. Unlike standard oscillators (like RSI ), the SDPA calculates the actual percentage deviation from the most recent pivot point (High or Low) and compares it against historical performance averages specific to each asset.
---
2. Core Logic & Calculation
The script operates on a Mean Reversion principle. It assumes that every asset (Gold, Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.) has a unique "volatility signature" depending on the timeframe.
* Dynamic Pivot Detection : The indicator identifies recent Swing Highs and Swing Lows using an adaptive lookback period.
* Real-Time Return Calculation : Once a pivot is confirmed, the script calculates the real-time percentage gain (from a Low) or loss (from a High).
* Zero-Indexed Histogram : This return is plotted as an oscillator centered around a Zero Line , representing the current trend's progress since the last reversal.
---
3. Adaptive Intelligence (Multi-Asset & Multi-TF)
The SDPA is pre-loaded with a statistical database. It automatically adjusts its sensitivity and thresholds based on:
1. The Selected Asset : Whether trading XAUUSD , Bitcoin , or Solana , the deviation thresholds adapt to the specific volatility of that instrument.
2. The Timeframe (TF) : The calculation period ( period ) and performance targets ( hausse_perf / baisse_perf ) change dynamically. For example, a 1-minute scalping setup uses a longer lookback (200) compared to a Daily swing setup (10).
---
4. Visual Anatomy
The interface is designed for instant "at-a-glance" interpretation:
* The Histogram :
* Green : Price is trending up since the last Swing Low .
* Red : Price is trending down since the last Swing High .
* Threshold Lines (The Statistical Averages) :
* Thick Line (60% Opacity) : Represents the Average Historical Deviation . When the histogram hits this line, the move is considered "statistically mature."
* Thin Line (70% Opacity) : Represents the Strong Deviation Zone (1.5x the average), indicating extreme momentum or potential exhaustion.
* Background Highlighting : The chart background colors automatically when the price exceeds historical averages, signaling a High-Probability Reversal Zone .
---
5. How to Trade with SDPA
* Trend Maturity : If the histogram exceeds the Bullish Average (Green line), the current move has reached its typical historical limit. Traders should look for take-profit opportunities or wait for a reversal.
* Impulse Strength : A rapid move from the Zero Line toward the thresholds confirms strong institutional interest.
* Mean Reversion : When the histogram reaches the Strong Zone (1.5x), the price is "overextended" statistically, offering a high reward-to-risk ratio for counter-trend setups.
---
6. Technical Parameters
* Asset Choice : Dropdown menu to select the specific asset.
* Colors : Customizable Bullish and Bearish colors to match any UI theme.
* Precision : Set to 4 decimal places to ensure accuracy across all asset types.
Trend Pulse Channel StrategyOverview
Trend Pulse Channel Strategy is a long-only trend-following breakout strategy built around an adaptive multi-pole smoothing filter and a volatility-adjusted price channel.
The strategy is designed to participate in sustained directional moves by entering only when price confirms momentum strength beyond a dynamic upper boundary, while avoiding mean-reversion and low-quality consolidation phases.
This script is published as a strategy and includes realistic backtesting assumptions for position sizing, commissions, and slippage.
Core Concept
At the heart of the strategy is a multi-pole adaptive EMA-based filter, inspired by advanced digital signal smoothing techniques.
Using multiple poles allows the filter to reduce noise while preserving responsiveness to genuine trend changes.
To adapt the channel width to changing market conditions, the strategy applies the same filtering logic to True Range, producing a volatility-aware envelope rather than a static or fixed-percentage band.
This combination allows the strategy to:
Track directional bias using a smoothed central filter
Adjust channel width dynamically based on market volatility
Trigger entries only when price expansion confirms trend strength
Entry Logic
A long position is opened when:
Price crosses above the upper channel band
The signal occurs within the user-defined date range
This condition represents a volatility-confirmed breakout aligned with the prevailing directional filter.
Exit Logic
The long position is closed when:
Price crosses back below the upper band
This exit logic aims to stay in trending moves while exiting when upside momentum weakens.
The strategy does not open short positions by design.
Inputs and Defaults
The default inputs are selected to balance smoothness, responsiveness, and stability:
Source (HLC3): Reduces single-price noise by averaging high, low, and close
Period (144): Defines the primary smoothing horizon of the adaptive filter
Poles (4): Controls the smoothness vs. responsiveness trade-off
Range Multiplier (1.414): Scales the volatility envelope using filtered True Range
Reduced Lag (optional): Applies lag compensation to improve responsiveness
Fast Response (optional): Blends multi-pole and single-pole filters for quicker reaction at the cost of smoothness
All inputs are fully configurable and can be adjusted to suit different instruments and timeframes.
Risk Management & Position Sizing
The strategy uses:
Position size: 10% of equity per trade
No pyramiding
Long positions only
This sizing approach is intended to reflect sustainable risk exposure rather than aggressive capital deployment. Users may further adjust position size based on their own risk tolerance.
Backtesting Assumptions
The strategy is tested using :
Initial capital: 10,000
Commission: 0.1%
Slippage: 1 tick
Order fill model: Standard OHLC
These settings are chosen to provide more realistic performance estimates compared to idealized backtests.
This strategy is best suited for :
Trend-oriented markets
Higher timeframes where breakouts are more reliable
Users seeking systematic trend participation rather than frequent scalping
In sideways or range-bound market conditions, price may cross the channel boundaries frequently.
This can result in a higher number of entry and exit signals that do not develop into sustained trends.
For this reason, the strategy should be used with an understanding of basic technical analysis concepts, including market structure, trend identification, and consolidation behavior.
It is intended as a decision-support tool, not a standalone trading system.
Users—whether beginners or experienced traders—should avoid relying solely on this strategy and are encouraged to combine it with broader market context and additional analysis methods.

Volume ROC (smoothed)Description
The Volume ROC (Rate of Change) indicator is designed to measure the momentum of trading volume over a user-defined period, adjusted for the trading session length of the symbol (e.g., 8.5 hours for the FTSEMIB index). This makes it particularly useful for intraday charts where standard daily calculations might not align with actual trading days.
By focusing on volume changes rather than price, it helps identify potential shifts in market participation, such as accumulation, distribution, or unusual activity that could precede price movements.
How It Works:
Session Adjustment:
The indicator calculates the number of candles per trading day based on the input session duration (in hours) and the chart's timeframe. This ensures that the ROC and other calculations are based on "trading days" rather than calendar days, making it adaptable to markets with non-standard hours like European indices (e.g., FTSEMIB).
Daily Data Fetch:
It retrieves daily high, low, close, and volume data using "request.security" to ensure consistency across timeframes.
ROC Calculation:
The Rate of Change (ROC) is computed on volume using "ta.change" over the specified length (in days), multiplied by the candles-per-day factor for timeframe independence. By chosing the subtraction method instead of the division method we avoid distortions of the ROC below the zero line (method ok for timespans inferior to two years).
Smoothing with SMA:
A Simple Moving Average (SMA) is applied to the ROC to reduce noise and highlight trends in volume momentum.
Standard Deviation Bands:
The standard deviation of the smoothed ROC is calculated over a lookback period. Bands are plotted at +2σ (overbought) and -2σ (oversold) to provide context for extreme volume changes, similar to Bollinger Bands but applied to volume ROC.
Key Plots:
SMA Line (Orange): The smoothed ROC value. Positive values indicate increasing volume momentum; negative values suggest decreasing momentum.
Zero Line (Black Dotted): A reference line at 0, separating positive and negative ROC territories.
+2σ Band (Red Dotted): Upper overbought threshold. Crossings above this may signal excessive buying volume.
-2σ Band (Green Dotted): Lower oversold threshold. Dips below this could indicate capitulation or low interest.
Usage and Interpretation:
Trend Confirmation:
Use the SMA crossing above/below zero to confirm price trends with volume backing. For example, a rising price with positive Volume ROC suggests strong conviction.
Divergences:
Look for divergences between price and Volume ROC (e.g., price making new highs but ROC weakening), which can signal reversals.
Overbought/Oversold Signals:
The ±2σ bands act as dynamic levels. Volume ROC spiking above +2σ might precede pullbacks, while below -2σ could indicate buying opportunities.
Best Applied To:
European indices (like FTSEMIB or DAX), stocks, or futures with defined session hours. Test on intraday (e.g., 2h) and combine with price-based indicators like RSI or MACD for confluence.
Customization:
Adjust the ROC/SMA lengths for sensitivity (shorter for scalping, longer for swings). The STDEV lookback affects band width—longer periods create smoother bands.
Limitations:
Volume data can be noisy in low-liquidity symbols. This indicator assumes consistent session lengths; irregular holidays may affect accuracy. Always backtest and use with risk management.
This indicator is original and built for educational/trading purposes.
3MA Alignment Ribbon [AlgoTraderPro]3MA Alignment Ribbon is a clean, visual trend-structure indicator based on the alignment of three moving averages.
Instead of focusing on crossovers, it highlights trend quality and direction by dynamically coloring the moving averages and the ribbon between them.
The goal is simple : See at a glance whether the market structure is bullish, bearish, or neutral.
⸻
How It Works
The indicator plots three moving averages (Fast, Medium, Slow) and evaluates their alignment:
Bullish → Fast > Medium > Slow
Bearish → Fast < Medium < Slow
Neutral → Any other configuration
The moving averages and the filled ribbon between them are automatically colored based on this alignment, making trend conditions immediately visible.
⸻
Key Features
✅Multi-MA Support
Choose between:
EMA (default)
SMA
WMA
VWMA
RMA
HMA
✅ Alignment Modes
Strict: classic Fast > Medium > Slow logic
Tolerant: requires a minimum percentage separation between averages to reduce noise in ranging markets
✅ Optional Slope Filter
Filter signals by requiring the slow MA to be rising or falling, helping avoid false trend states during flat conditions.
✅ Higher Timeframe (HTF) Ribbon
Overlay the same 3MA alignment logic from a higher timeframe on your current chart:
Fully optional
Correctly calculated on the HTF itself
Option to use confirmed HTF bars only (reduces repaint confusion)
✅ Alerts & Visual Signals
Alerts when alignment turns Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral
Optional on-chart markers when the alignment flips
✅ Custom Styling
Fully customizable colors and transparency
Designed to remain readable without cluttering the chart
⸻
How to Use It
This indicator works best as:
A trend filter for discretionary trading
A context tool for entries using other setups
A market structure overlay for scalping, swing trading, or position trading
It does not generate buy/sell signals by itself — instead, it helps you trade aligned with market structure.
⸻
Default Settings
The default lengths (50 / 100 / 200 EMA) are suitable for most markets and timeframes, including crypto, forex, indices, and equities.
Open Interest Bubbles [BackQuant]Open Interest Bubbles
A visual OI positioning overlay that aggregates futures open interest across major venues, normalizes it into a consistent “signal strength” scale, then plots extreme events as bubbles, labels, and optional horizontal levels directly on price.
What this is for
Open interest is one of the cleanest ways to track when positioning is building, unwinding, or aggressively shifting. The problem is raw OI is noisy, exchange-specific, and hard to compare across time. This script solves that by:
- Aggregating OI across multiple exchanges.
- Letting you choose what “OI signal” you care about (raw, delta, percent versions).
- Normalizing the signal so “big events” are easy to spot.
- Plotting those events as bubbles and levels at the exact price they occurred.
You end up with a clean, fast visual map of where large positioning changes occurred, and where those events may later matter as reaction points.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Plotting types (what you can display)
Bubbles
This mode plots OI events as size-bucketed circles on the chart. Bigger bubbles represent stronger normalized events. You can tune:
- Bubble sizing by bucket (Tiny → Huge).
- Heatmap vs solid color styling.
- Signed vs unsigned coloring (positive/negative separation or magnitude-only).
Best use:
- Spotting “where something changed” at a glance.
- Identifying clusters of positioning events around key price zones.
- Seeing whether the market is repeatedly building/closing positions at similar levels.
Levels
Levels mode draws a horizontal line at the anchor price when an extreme OI event triggers. These act like “positioning memory” levels:
- They do not claim to be support/resistance by themselves.
- They highlight prices where the derivatives market clearly did something meaningful.
Best use:
- Marking potential reaction zones.
- Combining with your price action tools (structure, OBs, FVGs) to confirm whether an OI level aligns with a technical level.
- Building a “map” of where leverage likely entered or exited.
Modes available in the script:
- Off
- Bubbles
- Bubbles + Labels
- Labels Only
- Levels + Labels
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Aggregated Open Interest source (multi-exchange)
This indicator builds a single aggregated OI series by requesting OI data from multiple exchanges and summing it. You can toggle exchanges on/off:
- Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, Kraken, HTX, Deribit
You can also choose OI units:
- COIN , OI in base units (native sizing)
- USD , converted for a dollar-value representation
Important note:
Not every symbol has OI data on every venue. If the script cannot build an aggregated series for the symbol, it will throw an error rather than quietly plotting garbage.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
OI Source, what the bubbles are measuring
You control what “signal” is normalized and plotted:
- Delta , change in aggregated OI from the prior bar.
Use when you want to highlight bursts of new positioning or sudden unwind events.
- Raw OI , the aggregated open interest level itself.
Use when you want to highlight absolute positioning build-up periods.
- Delta % , percent change in OI.
Use when you want moves normalized to the current OI regime, useful across different market eras.
- Raw OI % , percent change form of the raw series.
Use when you want relative changes rather than absolute size.
Practical guidance:
- Delta modes are best for “event detection”.
- Raw modes are better for “regime context” and whether positioning is structurally rising or fading.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Normalization (the key to making it readable)
Because OI varies massively across assets and time, the script includes multiple normalization modes to convert your chosen OI source into a comparable “strength” value.
Options:
- ZScore , deviation from a rolling mean in standard deviation units.
- StdNorm , scaled by rolling standard deviation.
- AbsZScore , absolute value version for magnitude-only mapping.
- AbsStdNorm , absolute value version for magnitude-only mapping.
- None , plots raw values (advanced users only, often too noisy visually).
Why this matters:
Normalization makes a “1.5” or “3.0” threshold mean something across different assets and timeframes, instead of being stuck to raw OI units.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Threshold system (when bubbles/levels trigger)
The plot is driven by two user thresholds:
- Base Threshold
Controls where “meaningful” events start. Raising this reduces noise and focuses on larger deviations.
- Extreme Threshold
Controls what qualifies as a top-tier event. Extreme events are what you typically want to convert into labels and levels.
You also control side filtering:
- Both , show positive and negative events.
- Positive Only , show only increases (or positive signal side depending on source).
- Negative Only , show only decreases (or negative signal side).
In practice:
- Use Base Threshold to tune chart cleanliness.
- Use Extreme Threshold to mark only the “big stuff” that tends to matter later.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Anchor Source (where the bubble/level is placed)
The indicator places bubbles, labels, and levels at a price anchor you choose:
- HL2, Close, Open, High, Low, VWAP
This is important because “where you pin the event” changes how it reads:
- Close is clean and consistent for backtesting and candle-close logic.
- High/Low can better represent where the fight occurred intrabar.
- VWAP can be useful for “fair price” anchoring in active markets.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Style system (theme, palette, signed logic)
This script is built to look good and stay readable on busy charts.
Themes
- BackQuant, Classic, Ice, Fire, Mono, Custom
Palette Mode
- Solid , one consistent color
- Heatmap , intensity increases with magnitude
- Single Color Adaptive , adapts to chart background for clarity
Side Coloring
- Signed , positive and negative events can use different ramps
- Unsigned , magnitude-only coloring
Negative theme handling:
- Auto (mirrors your chosen theme),
- Invert (flips the ramp),
- Custom (fully user-defined negative palette).
What this gives you:
- You can run a clean “mono” look for professional charts.
- Or a high-contrast heatmap for fast scanning.
- Or fully custom branding colors for BackQuant-style presentation.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Labels (what’s inside the label)
When labels are enabled, the script can display:
- OI , the aggregated OI value
- OI + Norm , OI plus normalized strength
- Norm Only , just the normalized strength
- Src + Norm , the selected source value (Delta, Raw, %) plus normalized strength
You can also control:
- Left/Center/Right label alignment
- Number formatting style (Raw, Compact, Volume format)
Best practice:
- Use “Src + Norm” when you want both the raw event size and its rarity.
- Use “Norm Only” when you want a clean, minimal chart.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Levels and object limits (performance and cleanliness)
Because this script draws objects, it includes a hard cleanup system:
- You set Max Levels / Labels to control chart clutter.
- The script deletes older lines/labels when the limit is exceeded.
This is critical if you trade lower timeframes, where OI events can trigger frequently.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
How to interpret the signals
What a large bubble usually means:
- A statistically large positioning change relative to recent history.
- This can represent fresh leverage entering, forced liquidations, or aggressive de-risking, depending on direction and context.
How to use levels:
- Treat them as “attention levels”, not automatic entries.
- Combine them with structure and liquidity tools:
- If price revisits an OI level and shows rejection, it often confirms that level mattered.
- If price slices through with no reaction, it often indicates the OI event was transitional, not defended.
Common setups:
- Clustered extreme bubbles near a breakout zone, then retest later.
- Extreme negative event at capitulation low, followed by structure flip.
- Extreme positive build into resistance, then unwind and mean reversion.

Stoch RSI M5 / M30 / H1_Brando ValenciaIndicator Description
This indicator displays the Stochastic RSI for 5-minute, 30-minute, and 1-hour timeframes simultaneously in one stable MTF panel — no lookahead, no repainting.
Red (5m) → entry timing
Green (30m) → short-term / intraday bias
Blue (1h) → higher-timeframe context & direction
The calculation matches the TradingView default Stoch RSI (%K) exactly:
RSI length: 14
Stochastic length: 14
Smoothing: 3
Levels
Above 80 → overbought
Below 20 → oversold
50 → trend filter / equilibrium
Purpose
This indicator is not a standalone entry trigger, but a context and timing tool:
1h & 30m define direction
5m provides precise entry windows
Ideal for scalping and day trading (e.g. EUR/USD during London & New York sessions).
Cave Diving 3 Lines System
🤿 Cave Diving Dashboard - A Deep Dive into Market Structure
## The Cave Diving Analogy
Imagine you're a cave diver exploring underwater caverns. As you descend deeper, you encounter different layers of the cave system:
- **The Surface (Internal Levels)** - Where you currently are, constantly shifting with each breath
- **The First Chamber (De Novo Levels)** - Your last known safe position, recently established
- **Deep Caverns (External Levels)** - Ancient, untouched chambers deeper in the system
Just as a cave diver must constantly monitor their position relative to these reference points, traders must track price action against key structural levels.
---
## 🎯 Understanding the Three-Tiered System
### 📍 **INTERNAL LEVELS** (Current 15m Candle)
*Your real-time position in the market*
**Internal High** 🟡 - The highest point reached in the current unfinished 15-minute candle
**Internal Low** 🟢 - The lowest point reached in the current unfinished 15-minute candle
**Think of these as:**
- Your current depth while actively diving
- They update continuously as price moves
- Status shows "Updating" when actively changing, "Intact" when stable
- These are NOT trade levels—they're awareness zones
**Key Insight:** When Internal Low drops below De Novo Low, you're in **Situation A** (bearish pressure building)—the indicator highlights this with red coloring.
---
### 🎯 **DE NOVO LEVELS** (Previous Closed 15m Candle)
*Your most recent confirmed safe zone*
**De Novo High** 🔵 - The high of the last completed 15-minute candle
**De Novo Low** 🟣 - The low of the last completed 15-minute candle
**Etymology:** "De Novo" = Latin for "from new" or "anew"—these are freshly established reference points
**Think of these as:**
- The last solid ground you stood on
- Your most recent confirmed position
- The bridge between where you are (Internal) and where you've been (External)
**Status Tracking:**
- **⬆️ Upgrade** - Level moved favorably (Higher high for resistance, Higher low for support)
- **⬇️ Downgrade** - Level moved unfavorably (Lower high, Lower low)
- **= Same** - No structural change from previous candle
**Trading Significance:**
- Primary reference points for intraday structure
- Breaking De Novo levels often signals directional commitment
- Can merge with External Level 1 when they align (shown as "DN🟰Ext1")
---
### ⛽🤿 **EXTERNAL LEVELS** (Unmitigated Historical 15m Levels)
*Deep liquidity pools waiting to be discovered*
**External High 1 & 2** 🟢🔵 - The two most recent unmitigated 15m highs
**External Low 1 & 2** 🟠🌸 - The two most recent unmitigated 15m lows
**Think of these as:**
- Untouched chambers in the cave system
- Liquidity pools that smart money is targeting
- Levels that "remember" and attract price
**What Makes a Level "Unmitigated"?**
- **Highs**: Price has NOT yet traded through them (broken above)
- **Lows**: Price has NOT yet swept them (broken below)
- Once touched, they're "mitigated" and removed from tracking
- The indicator automatically maintains the two most recent unmitigated levels
**Why "External"?**
They exist outside your current candle structure—historical reference points that institutions use for:
- Stop loss placement
- Profit taking targets
- Liquidity hunting zones
---
## 🎨 Color Coding System
### HIGHS (Resistance/Targets) - Cool Colors
- 🔵 **Ext High 2** - Light Blue (Distant target)
- 🟢 **Ext High 1** - Lime Green (Primary target)
- 🔵 **De Novo High** - Cyan (Recent resistance)
- 🟡 **Internal High** - Lemon Yellow (Current ceiling)
### LOWS (Support/Stops) - Warm Colors
- 🟢 **Internal Low** - Lime (Current floor)
- 🟣 **De Novo Low** - Purple (Recent support)
- 🟠 **Ext Low 1** - Orange-Red (Primary stop zone)
- 🌸 **Ext Low 2** - Pink (Distant support)
---

## 🎯 Trading Applications
### **For Buyers (Going Long):**
- **Entry Zone**: Between De Novo Low and Ext Low 1
- **Stops**: Below Ext Low 1 (or Ext Low 2 for wider stops)
- **Targets**: De Novo High → Ext High 1 → Ext High 2
- **Confirmation**: Internal Low holds above De Novo Low
### **For Sellers (Going Short):**
- **Entry Zone**: Between De Novo High and Ext High 1

- **Targets**: De Novo Low → Ext Low 1 → Ext Low 2
- **Warning**: Watch for Situation A (Internal Low < De Novo Low)
### **Risk Management:**
- **DN🟰Ext1** status means De Novo = External 1 (tighter range, use caution)
- Proximity alerts help you avoid chasing price into resistance/support
- "Updating" status on Internal levels = active volatility
- "Upgrade/Downgrade" signals = structural shift in progress
---

## 🧭 The Cave Diving Mindset
**Never dive deeper than you can safely return from.**
In trading terms:
- Know your Internal position (real-time awareness)
- Respect your De Novo levels (recent structure)
- Hunt for External liquidity (where the targets are)
- Always have an exit plan (stops below Ext Lows, above Ext Highs)
The market, like a cave, has structure. This indicator illuminates that structure across three timeframes of reference, helping you navigate with precision rather than guessing in the dark.
---
## 🎓 Key Takeaways
1. **Internal** = Real-time, unfinished, awareness only
2. **De Novo** = Just confirmed, primary reference, updates every 15m
3. **External** = Historical, unmitigated, high-probability targets/stops
4. **Upgrades/Downgrades** = Trend signals
5. **DN🟰Ext1** = Structural alignment (tighter range)
6. **Situation A** = Bearish warning (Internal < De Novo Low)
---
## 📝 Credits
*"In cave diving, you plan your dive and dive your plan. In trading, you plan your levels and trade your levels."*
**Indicator:** Cave Diving Dashboard - Part 1: Price Levels
**Timeframe:** Optimized for 15-minute structure on any chart timeframe
**Philosophy:** Structure first, price second. Know where you are, where you've been, and where the liquidity waits.

## What This Indicator Does
The **Unmitigated MTF High Low v2.0** tracks unmitigated (untouch) high and low levels across multiple timeframes, helping you identify key support and resistance zones that the market hasn't revisited yet. Think of it as a sophisticated memory system for price action - it remembers where price has been, and more importantly, where it *hasn't been back to*.
### Why "Unmitigated" Matters
In futures trading, especially on instruments like NQ and ES, the market has a tendency to revisit levels where liquidity was left behind. An "unmitigated" level is one that hasn't been touched since it was formed. These levels often act as magnets for price, and understanding their age and proximity gives you a significant edge in:
- **Entry timing** - Waiting for price to approach tested levels
- **Exit planning** - Taking profits before ancient resistance/support
- **Risk management** - Avoiding entries when approaching multiple old levels
- **Liquidity mapping** - Visualizing where orders likely cluster
---
## Core Concepts
### 1. **Sessions & Age**
The indicator uses **New York trading sessions** (6:00 PM to 5:59 PM NY time) as the primary time measurement. This aligns with how futures markets naturally segment their activity.
**Age Categories:**
- 🟢 **New (0-1 sessions)** - Fresh levels, recently formed
- 🟡 **Medium (2-3 sessions)** - Tested by time, gaining significance
- 🔴 **Old (4-6 sessions)** - Highly significant, survived multiple days
- 🟣 **Ancient (7+ sessions)** - Extreme significance, major support/resistance
The longer a level remains unmitigated, the more significant it becomes. Think of it like compound interest - time adds weight to these zones.
### 2. **Multi-Timeframe Tracking**
You can set the indicator to track high/low levels from any timeframe (default is 15 minutes). This means you're watching for unmitigated 15-minute highs and lows while trading on, say, a 1-minute or 5-minute chart.
**Why this matters:**
- Higher timeframe levels have more weight
- You can see multiple timeframe structure simultaneously
- Helps you avoid fighting larger timeframe momentum
### 3. **Mitigation**
A level becomes "mitigated" (deactivated) when price touches it:
- **High levels** are mitigated when price reaches or exceeds them
- **Low levels** are mitigated when price reaches or goes below them
Once mitigated, the level disappears from view. The indicator only shows you the untouch levels that still matter.

## The Cave Diving Framework
This indicator is designed around the **Cave Diving Trading Framework** - a psychological and technical approach that maps cave diving safety protocols to futures trading risk management.
### 🤿 The Core Metaphor
**Cave diving has clear danger zones based on depth and overhead environment. Your trading should too.**
#### Shallow Water (New Levels, 0-1 Sessions)
- **Light**: Bright colors (bright red highs, bright green lows)
- **Psychology**: Fresh territory, recently tested
- **Trading**: Be aware but not overly concerned
- **Cave Diving Parallel**: You can see the surface, easy exit
#### Penetration Depth (Medium Levels, 2-3 Sessions)
- **Light**: Medium intensity colors
- **Psychology**: Building significance, market memory forming
- **Trading**: Start respecting these levels for entries/exits
- **Cave Diving Parallel**: Deeper in, need to track your line back
#### Deep Dive Zone (Old Levels, 4-6 Sessions)
- **Light**: Dark colors (deep maroon, dark blue)
- **Psychology**: Highly tested support/resistance
- **Trading**: Major decision points, plan accordingly
- **Cave Diving Parallel**: Significant overhead, careful navigation required
#### Overhead Environment (Ancient Levels, 7+ Sessions)
- **Light**: Very dark, purple/deep teal
- **Psychology**: Extreme caution required, major liquidity zones
- **Trading**: These are your "turn back" signals - don't fight ancient levels
- **Cave Diving Parallel**: Maximum danger, no room for error
### 🎯 The Proximity Alert System
Just like a cave diver's depth gauge that warns at critical thresholds, the proximity alerts (⚠️) tell you when you're entering a danger zone. When price gets within your configured threshold (default 5 points), the indicator:
- Highlights the level in **yellow** on the chart
- Shows **⚠️** in the table
- Signals: "You're entering a high-significance zone - adjust your position accordingly"
This prevents the trading equivalent of going deeper into a cave without checking your air supply.
---
## How to Use It for Trading
### 🎯 Entry Strategies
**1. The "Bounce Setup" (Mean Reversion)**
- Wait for price to approach an old or ancient unmitigated level
- Look for confluence: multiple levels nearby, bands narrowing
- Enter when price shows rejection (reversal candle patterns)
- **Example**: Price drops to a 6-session-old low, shows bullish engulfing → Long entry
**2. The "Break and Retest" (Trend Following)**
- Wait for price to break through an unmitigated level (mitigates it)
- Enter on the retest of the newly broken level
- **Example**: Price breaks above 4-session-old high → Wait for pullback to that level → Long entry
**3. The "Tunnel Trade" (Range Trading)**
- When bands are active, trade the range between 1st-2nd levels
- Short near upper band resistance, long near lower band support
- Exit at opposite side or when bands break
### 🚨 Risk Management Rules
**The Ancient Level Rule**
> Never fight ancient levels (7+ sessions). If you're long and approaching an ancient high, take profits. If you're short and approaching an ancient low, take profits.
These levels have survived a full trading week without being touched - there's likely significant liquidity and institutional interest there.
**The Proximity Exit Rule**
> When you see ⚠️ proximity alerts on multiple levels above/below your position, tighten stops or scale out.
This is your "overhead environment" warning. You're in dangerous territory.
**The New Level Filter**
> Be cautious taking positions based solely on new levels (0-1 sessions). Wait for them to age or combine with other confluence.
Fresh levels haven't been tested by time. They're like unconfirmed support/resistance.
### 📊 Reading Market Structure
**Bullish Structure (🟢 in status row)**
- Unmitigated lows are aging and holding
- Price respecting the lower band
- Old lows below acting as strong support
- **Bias**: Look for long entries at lower levels
**Bearish Structure (🔴 in status row)**
- Unmitigated highs are aging and holding
- Price respecting the upper band
- Old highs above acting as strong resistance
- **Bias**: Look for short entries at higher levels
**The Tunnel Compression**
- When the Δ (delta) in the status row is small, levels are tight
- This often precedes a breakout
- **Trading**: Wait for breakout direction, then trade the break
### 🔄 Strat Integration
The indicator shows Strat patterns in the status row:
- **1** - Inside bar (consolidation)
- **2U** - Broke high only (bullish)
- **2D** - Broke low only (bearish)
- **3** - Broke both (wide range, volatility)
Use these with the unmitigated levels:
- **2U near old high** → Potential resistance, watch for rejection
- **2D near old low** → Potential support, watch for bounce
- **3 pattern** → High volatility, respect wider stops
---
## Settings & Customization
### 📅 Session & Timeframe Settings
**HL Interval** (Default: 15 minutes)
- The timeframe for high/low calculation
- **Lower (1m, 5m)**: More levels, more noise, good for scalping
- **Higher (30m, 1H, 4H)**: Fewer levels, stronger significance, good for swing trading
- **Recommendation for NQ/ES**: 15m or 30m for day trading, 1H for swing trading
**Session Age Threshold** (Default: 2)
- How many sessions before a level is considered "old"
- Lower = more levels classified as old
- Higher = stricter definition of significance

**Enable Level Cleanup**
- Automatically remove very old levels to maintain performance
- **Keep on** unless you want unlimited history
**Max Lookback Levels** (Default: 10,000)
- Maximum number of levels to track
- 10,000 ≈ 6+ months of 15-minute bars

**Max Boxes Per Band** (Default: 245)
- TradingView limit is 500 total boxes
- With 2 bands, 245 each = 490 total (safe maximum)
---
## Best Practices
### 🎯 Position Management
**1. Scaling In Near Old Levels**
```
Price approaching 5-session-old low:
- First position: 30% size at proximity alert (⚠️)
- Second position: 40% size at exact level
- Third position: 30% size if it shows strong rejection
```
**2. Scaling Out Near Ancient Levels**
```
Holding long position, approaching 8-session-old high:
- Exit 50% at proximity alert (⚠️)
- Exit 30% at exact level
- Trail stop on remaining 20%
```
### 🧠 Trading Psychology Integration
Drawing from principles in *The Mountain Is You*, this indicator helps you:
**1. Recognize Self-Sabotage Patterns**
- **The Premature Entry**: Entering before price reaches your planned level
- **Solution**: Set alerts at unmitigated levels, wait for proximity warnings
- **The Profit-Taking Problem**: Exiting too early from fear
- **Solution**: Identify the next unmitigated level and commit to holding until proximity alert
- **The Loss Holding**: Refusing to exit losing trades
- **Solution**: When price breaks through and mitigates your entry level, it's telling you the structure changed
**2. Building Better Habits**
The color-coded age system trains your brain to:
- Respect levels that have proven themselves over time
- Distinguish between noise (new levels) and structure (old levels)
- Make decisions based on objective data, not fear or greed
**3. Emotional Regulation**
The proximity alerts serve as:
- **Circuit breakers** - Forcing you to re-evaluate before dangerous zones
- **Permission to act** - Giving you objective signals to exit without second-guessing
- **Validation** - Confirming when you're in alignment with market structure
### 📝 Pre-Market Routine
**Daily Setup Checklist:**
1. ✅ Identify the 3 nearest unmitigated highs above current price
2. ✅ Identify the 3 nearest unmitigated lows below current price
3. ✅ Note which are ancient (7+) - these are your "no-go" zones
4. ✅ Check the tunnel width (Δ in status row) - tight or wide?
5. ✅ Set alerts at the 1st high and 1st low for proximity warnings
6. ✅ Plan: "If we go up, I exit at ___. If we go down, I enter at ___."
### 🔄 Timeframe Confluence
**Multi-Timeframe Strategy:**
Run the indicator on **three instances**:
- **15-minute** (short-term structure)
- **1-hour** (intermediate structure)
- **4-hour** (major structure)
**Strong Setup**: When all three timeframes show unmitigated levels converging at the same price zone.
**Example:**
- 15m: Old low at 21,400
- 1H: Ancient low at 21,398
- 4H: Ancient low at 21,395
- **Result**: 21,395-21,400 is a monster support zone
### ⚠️ What This Indicator Doesn't Do
**Not a Crystal Ball**
- It doesn't predict where price will go
- It shows you where price *hasn't been* and how long it's been avoided
- The trading decisions are still yours
**Not an Entry Signal Generator**
- It provides context and structure
- You need to combine it with your entry methodology (price action, indicators, order flow, etc.)
**Not Foolproof**
- Ancient levels get broken
- Proximity alerts can trigger early in strong trends
- The market doesn't "owe" you a reversal at any level
---
## Common Scenarios
### Scenario 1: "Level Cluster Ahead"
**Situation**: You're long at 21,400. The table shows:
- 1st High: 21,425 (2 sessions old)
- 2nd High: 21,428 (3 sessions old)
- 3rd High: 21,435 (6 sessions old)
**Interpretation**: There's a resistance cluster just 25-35 points away. The 6-session-old level is particularly significant.
**Action**:
- Set first profit target at 21,420 (before the cluster)
- Set second target at 21,426 (between 1st and 2nd)
- Trail remaining position, but be ready to exit on rejection at 21,435
**Cave Diving Analogy**: You're approaching an overhead section with limited clearance. Lighten your load (reduce position) before entering.
---
### Scenario 2: "Ancient Level Approaches"
**Situation**: The market is grinding higher. You see ⚠️ appear next to a 9-session-old high at 21,500.
**Interpretation**: This level has survived over a week without being touched. Massive potential liquidity zone.
**Action**:
- If long, this is your absolute exit zone. Take profits before or at level.
- If looking to short, wait for clear rejection (price taps and reverses)
- Don't try to buy the breakout until it clearly breaks and retests
**Cave Diving Analogy**: Your dive computer is beeping - you've reached your planned turn-back depth. No matter how interesting it looks ahead, honor your plan.
---
### Scenario 3: "Mitigated Levels Create New Structure"
**Situation**: Price breaks and mitigates the 1st High. The previous 2nd High becomes the new 1st High.
**Interpretation**: The structure just shifted. What was the 2nd level is now most relevant.
**Action**:
- Watch how price reacts to the newly-mitigated level
- If it holds below (acts as resistance), bearish
- If it reclaims and holds above (acts as support), bullish
- The NEW 1st High is your next target/resistance
**Cave Diving Analogy**: You've passed through a restriction - the cave layout ahead is different now. Update your mental map.
---
### Scenario 4: "Tight Tunnel, Upcoming Breakout"
**Situation**: The Δ in the status row shows 3.25 points (very tight). Bands are converging.
**Interpretation**: Price is consolidating between very close unmitigated levels. Breakout likely.
**Action**:
- Don't try to predict direction
- Set alerts above 1st High and below 1st Low
- When break occurs, trade the retest
- Expect volatility - use wider stops
**Cave Diving Analogy**: You're in a narrow passage. Movement will be sudden and directional once it starts.
---
### Scenario 5: "Imbalanced Structure"
**Situation**: The statistics row shows "📊 22↑ / 7↓"
**Interpretation**: There are many more unmitigated highs than lows. This suggests:
- Price has been declining (hitting lows, leaving highs behind)
- Potential bullish reversal zone (lots of overhead supply mitigated)
- Or continued bearish structure (resistance everywhere above)
**Action**:
- Look at the age of those 22 highs
- If mostly new (0-2 sessions): Just a recent downmove, not significant yet
- If many old/ancient: Strong overhead resistance, be cautious on longs
- Compare to price action: Is price respecting the remaining lows?
**Cave Diving Analogy**: You've swam deeper than your starting point - most of your markers are above you now. Are you planning the ascent or going deeper?
---
## Final Thoughts: The Philosophy
This indicator is built on a simple but powerful principle: **The market has memory, and that memory has weight.**
Every unmitigated level represents:
- Liquidity left behind
- Orders waiting to be filled
- Institutional interest potentially parked
- Psychological significance for participants
The longer a level remains unmitigated, the more "charged" it becomes. When price finally revisits it, something significant usually happens - either a strong reversal or a definitive break.
Your job as a trader isn't to predict which outcome will occur. Your job is to:
1. **Recognize** when you're approaching these charged zones
2. **Respect** them by adjusting position size and risk
3. **React** appropriately based on how price behaves at them
4. **Remember** that ancient levels (like ancient wisdom) deserve extra reverence
The Cave Diving Framework embedded in this indicator serves as a constant reminder: Trading, like cave diving, requires rigorous respect for environmental hazards, meticulous planning, and the discipline to turn back when your limits are reached.
**Every proximity alert is the market asking you**: *"Do you really want to go deeper?"*
Sometimes the answer is yes - when your setup, confluence, and risk management all align.
Often, the answer should be no - and that's the trader avoiding the accident that would have happened to the gambler.

### 🎯 Quick Reference Card
**Color System:**
- 🟢 Bright colors = New (0-1 sessions) = Shallow water
- 🟡 Medium colors = Medium (2-3 sessions) = Penetration depth
- 🔴 Dark colors = Old (4-6 sessions) = Deep dive zone
- 🟣 Deep dark colors = Ancient (7+ sessions) = Overhead environment
**Symbols:**
- ↑ ↑↑ ↑↑↑ ↑↑↑↑ ↑↑↑↑↑ = High levels (1st through 5th)
- ↓ ↓↓ ↓↓↓ ↓↓↓↓ ↓↓↓↓↓ = Low levels (1st through 5th)
- ⚠️ = Proximity alert (danger zone)
- 🟢 = Bullish structure
- 🔴 = Bearish structure
- Δ = Tunnel width (distance between 1st high and 1st low)
**Critical Rules:**
1. Never fight ancient levels (7+ sessions)
2. Respect proximity alerts (⚠️)
3. Scale out near old/ancient resistance
4. Wait for confluence when entering
5. Let mitigated levels prove their new role
---
**Remember**: The indicator gives you structure. The trading edge comes from your discipline in respecting that structure.
Trade safe, trade smart, and always know your exit before your entry. 🎯

Latent Energy Reactor [The_lurker]Latent Energy Reactor | مفاعل الطاقة الكامنة
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🔬 THE PHILOSOPHY
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Markets operate in cycles of compression and expansion. Before every significant price movement, there exists a period where buyers and sellers reach a temporary equilibrium — a consolidation zone where energy accumulates like pressure building in a reactor.
The Latent Energy Reactor was designed to identify these critical zones, measure the energy building within them, and predict the direction of the inevitable breakout.
This indicator transforms the abstract concept of "market energy" into a quantifiable, visual system that traders can use to anticipate high-probability breakout opportunities.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 THE THREE BOX STATES
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Understanding the three box states is crucial for proper interpretation:
📦 STATE 1: ACTIVE ZONE (GRAY BOX)
─────────────────────────────────────
Visual Characteristics:
• Color: Gray/Neutral with 3D depth effect
• Extends to the right edge of the chart (future projection)
• Contains pressure lines (dotted horizontal lines inside)
• Displays gravity center line (dashed line showing volume-weighted center)
• Energy progress bar beneath the box
• Real-time information panel appears on screen
What It Means:
The gray box represents a LIVE consolidation zone currently forming. Price is contained within the boundaries, and energy is actively accumulating. This is the "waiting phase" where the reactor is charging.
What to Watch:
• Energy percentage climbing toward critical levels (80%+)
• Gravity center position (upper half = bullish bias, lower half = bearish bias)
• Top and bottom rejection counts in the information panel
• Phase progression (Forming → Growth → Mature → Exhaustion)
Trading Approach:
Do NOT trade inside the gray box. This is the preparation phase. Monitor the energy levels and predicted direction, but wait for confirmation.
📦 STATE 2: BULLISH BREAKOUT BOX (GREEN BOX)
─────────────────────────────────────────────
Visual Characteristics:
• Color: Green with 3D depth effect
• Box boundaries are now fixed (no longer extending right)
• Displays "BUY" text centered inside the box
• Stop Loss line appears below the box (orange)
• Three Take Profit lines appear above (teal/cyan)
• Entry line at the box's upper boundary (white dashed)
What It Means:
The green box indicates a CONFIRMED bullish breakout. Price has broken above the consolidation zone's upper boundary, releasing the accumulated energy upward.
Automatic Calculations Displayed:
• Entry Price: Upper boundary of the box
• Stop Loss: Lower boundary minus ATR buffer
• TP1: Entry + (Risk × 1.0) — 1:1 reward ratio
• TP2: Entry + (Risk × 1.5) — 1.5:1 reward ratio
• TP3: Entry + (Risk × 2.0) — 2:1 reward ratio
Trading Approach:
Consider long positions with the displayed SL/TP levels as guidelines. The higher the energy level and breakout quality score were before the breakout, the more reliable the signal.
📦 STATE 3: BEARISH BREAKOUT BOX (RED BOX)
──────────────────────────────────────────
Visual Characteristics:
• Color: Red with 3D depth effect
• Box boundaries are now fixed
• Displays "SELL" text centered inside the box
• Stop Loss line appears above the box (orange)
• Three Take Profit lines appear below (teal/cyan)
• Entry line at the box's lower boundary (white dashed)
What It Means:
The red box indicates a CONFIRMED bearish breakout. Price has broken below the consolidation zone's lower boundary, releasing the accumulated energy downward.
Automatic Calculations Displayed:
• Entry Price: Lower boundary of the box
• Stop Loss: Upper boundary plus ATR buffer
• TP1: Entry - (Risk × 1.0) — 1:1 reward ratio
• TP2: Entry - (Risk × 1.5) — 1.5:1 reward ratio
• TP3: Entry - (Risk × 2.0) — 2:1 reward ratio
Trading Approach:
Consider short positions with the displayed SL/TP levels as guidelines. Stronger setups have higher pre-breakout energy and quality scores.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚛️ THE ENERGY CALCULATION SYSTEM
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
The energy percentage (0-100%) is calculated using four factors:
Compression Score (up to 40 points)
Measures how tight the range is relative to normal volatility (ATR). Tighter compression = higher energy storage.
Time Score (up to 35 points)
Longer consolidation periods accumulate more energy. Each bar adds to the score up to the maximum.
Maturity Bonus (up to 15 points)
Zones that reach mature phases receive bonus energy points, recognizing that extended consolidations often produce more powerful breakouts.
Tightness Bonus (up to 10 points)
Extra points awarded when the range height is exceptionally small relative to ATR.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📊 THE GRAVITY CENTER SYSTEM
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
How It Works:
The gravity center is the volume-weighted average price within the consolidation zone. It reveals where the majority of trading activity (and thus institutional interest) is concentrated.
Interpretation:
• Gravity center in UPPER half → Institutions accumulating → Bullish bias
• Gravity center in LOWER half → Institutions distributing → Bearish bias
• Gravity center at MIDDLE → Neutral/Uncertain
Visual Display:
A dashed line with a ⚖️ symbol marks the gravity center inside active zones. The line color matches the directional bias.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🏦 INSTITUTIONAL FOOTPRINT DETECTION
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
What It Measures:
The indicator scans for volume anomalies — bars where volume significantly exceeds the average while price remains contained within the zone.
Why It Matters:
Large volume without price movement often indicates institutional players building positions. They cannot accumulate or distribute large quantities without leaving a "footprint" in the volume data.
Score Interpretation:
• Below 30%: Normal retail activity
• 30-50%: Some institutional interest detected
• Above 50%: Significant institutional footprint (marked with 🏦 icon)
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📈 MATURITY PHASES
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚒ Forming Phase
The zone has just been identified. Energy is low, and the pattern needs more time to develop. Premature breakouts during this phase have higher failure rates.
📈 Growth Phase
The zone is developing nicely. Energy is building, and the consolidation pattern is becoming more defined. Watch for increasing rejection counts at boundaries.
✅ Mature Phase
Optimal trading phase. The zone has accumulated significant energy, institutional footprints are often visible, and breakout quality scores are typically highest.
⚠ Exhaustion Phase
The zone has persisted beyond typical duration. While energy remains high, the pattern may be losing its predictive power.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎨 VISUAL ELEMENTS GUIDE
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
3D Box Effect
The 3D rendering creates visual depth with a top face and side face, making boxes stand out clearly. Adjustable via "3D Depth" and "3D Height %" settings.
Pressure Lines
Dotted horizontal lines inside active zones visualize internal pressure distribution. Lines closer to the gravity center are more opaque.
Energy Progress Bar
A horizontal bar beneath each zone shows energy level visually. Color progresses: green (low) → yellow (moderate) → orange (high) → red (critical).
Imminent Breakout Warning
When energy reaches critical threshold (default 80%), a warning label "⚠ IMMINENT!" appears above the active zone.
Information Panel

مفاعل الطاقة الكامنة | Latent Energy Reactor
🔬 الفلسفة
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
تعمل الأسواق في دورات من الضغط والتمدد. قبل كل حركة سعرية كبيرة، توجد فترة يصل فيها المشترون والبائعون إلى توازن مؤقت — منطقة تجميع حيث تتراكم الطاقة مثل الضغط المتراكم في مفاعل.
صُمم مفاعل الطاقة الكامنة لتحديد هذه المناطق الحرجة، وقياس الطاقة المتراكمة داخلها، والتنبؤ باتجاه الاختراق الحتمي.
يحوّل هذا المؤشر المفهوم المجرد لـ "طاقة السوق" إلى نظام قابل للقياس والعرض البصري يمكن للمتداولين استخدامه لتوقع فرص الاختراق عالية الاحتمالية.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 حالات الصندوق الثلاث
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
فهم حالات الصندوق الثلاث ضروري للتفسير الصحيح:
📦 الحالة الأولى: المنطقة النشطة (الصندوق الرمادي)
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
الخصائص البصرية:
• اللون: رمادي/محايد مع تأثير عمق ثلاثي الأبعاد
• يمتد إلى الحافة اليمنى للرسم البياني (إسقاط مستقبلي)
• يحتوي على خطوط الضغط (خطوط أفقية منقطة بالداخل)
• يعرض خط مركز الثقل (خط متقطع يُظهر المركز المرجح بالحجم)
• شريط تقدم الطاقة أسفل الصندوق
• تظهر لوحة المعلومات الفورية على الشاشة
ماذا يعني:
الصندوق الرمادي يمثل منطقة تجميع حَيّة تتشكل حالياً. السعر محتوى داخل الحدود، والطاقة تتراكم بنشاط. هذه هي "مرحلة الانتظار" حيث المفاعل يشحن.
ما يجب مراقبته:
• نسبة الطاقة تصعد نحو المستويات الحرجة (80%+)
• موقع مركز الثقل (النصف العلوي = ميل صعودي، النصف السفلي = ميل هبوطي)
• عدد الرفض العلوي والسفلي في لوحة المعلومات
• تقدم المرحلة (تشكّل ← نمو ← نضج ← إرهاق)
نهج التداول:
لا تتداول داخل الصندوق الرمادي. هذه مرحلة الإعداد. راقب مستويات الطاقة والاتجاه المتوقع، لكن انتظر التأكيد.
📦 الحالة الثانية: صندوق الاختراق الصعودي (الصندوق الأخضر)
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
الخصائص البصرية:
• اللون: أخضر مع تأثير عمق ثلاثي الأبعاد
• حدود الصندوق ثابتة الآن (لم تعد تمتد لليمين)
• يعرض نص "شراء" أو "BUY" في منتصف الصندوق
• يظهر خط وقف الخسارة أسفل الصندوق (برتقالي)
• تظهر ثلاثة خطوط أهداف فوق الصندوق (فيروزي)
• خط الدخول عند الحد العلوي للصندوق (أبيض متقطع)
ماذا يعني:
الصندوق الأخضر يشير إلى اختراق صعودي مُؤَكَّد. كسر السعر فوق الحد العلوي لمنطقة التجميع، محرراً الطاقة المتراكمة للأعلى.
الحسابات التلقائية المعروضة:
• سعر الدخول: الحد العلوي للصندوق
• وقف الخسارة: الحد السفلي ناقص حاجز ATR
• الهدف 1: الدخول + (المخاطرة × 1.0) — نسبة مكافأة 1:1
• الهدف 2: الدخول + (المخاطرة × 1.5) — نسبة مكافأة 1.5:1
• الهدف 3: الدخول + (المخاطرة × 2.0) — نسبة مكافأة 2:1
نهج التداول:
فكر في صفقات شراء مع مستويات وقف الخسارة والأهداف المعروضة كإرشادات. كلما ارتفع مستوى الطاقة ودرجة جودة الاختراق قبل الكسر، كانت الإشارة أكثر موثوقية.
📦 الحالة الثالثة: صندوق الاختراق الهبوطي (الصندوق الأحمر)
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
الخصائص البصرية:
• اللون: أحمر مع تأثير عمق ثلاثي الأبعاد
• حدود الصندوق ثابتة الآن
• يعرض نص "بيع" أو "SELL" في منتصف الصندوق
• يظهر خط وقف الخسارة فوق الصندوق (برتقالي)
• تظهر ثلاثة خطوط أهداف أسفل الصندوق (فيروزي)
• خط الدخول عند الحد السفلي للصندوق (أبيض متقطع)
ماذا يعني:
الصندوق الأحمر يشير إلى اختراق هبوطي مُؤَكَّد. كسر السعر تحت الحد السفلي لمنطقة التجميع، محرراً الطاقة المتراكمة للأسفل.
الحسابات التلقائية المعروضة:
• سعر الدخول: الحد السفلي للصندوق
• وقف الخسارة: الحد العلوي زائد حاجز ATR
• الهدف 1: الدخول - (المخاطرة × 1.0) — نسبة مكافأة 1:1
• الهدف 2: الدخول - (المخاطرة × 1.5) — نسبة مكافأة 1.5:1
• الهدف 3: الدخول - (المخاطرة × 2.0) — نسبة مكافأة 2:1
نهج التداول:
فكر في صفقات بيع مع مستويات وقف الخسارة والأهداف المعروضة كإرشادات. الإعدادات الأقوى لديها طاقة ودرجات جودة أعلى قبل الاختراق.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚛️ نظام حساب الطاقة
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
تُحسب نسبة الطاقة (0-100%) باستخدام أربعة عوامل:
درجة الضغط (حتى 40 نقطة)
تقيس مدى ضيق النطاق نسبة للتقلب الطبيعي (ATR). ضغط أشد = تخزين طاقة أعلى.
درجة الوقت (حتى 35 نقطة)
فترات التجميع الأطول تراكم طاقة أكثر. كل شمعة تضيف للدرجة حتى الحد الأقصى.
مكافأة النضج (حتى 15 نقطة)
المناطق التي تصل لمراحل النضج تحصل على نقاط طاقة إضافية، اعترافاً بأن التجميعات الممتدة غالباً تنتج اختراقات أقوى.
مكافأة الضيق (حتى 10 نقاط)
نقاط إضافية تُمنح عندما يكون ارتفاع النطاق صغيراً استثنائياً نسبة لـ ATR.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📊 نظام مركز الثقل
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
كيف يعمل:
مركز الثقل هو متوسط السعر المرجح بالحجم داخل منطقة التجميع. يكشف أين يتركز معظم النشاط التداولي (وبالتالي الاهتمام المؤسسي).
التفسير:
• مركز الثقل في النصف العلوي ← المؤسسات تجمّع ← ميل صعودي
• مركز الثقل في النصف السفلي ← المؤسسات توزّع ← ميل هبوطي
• مركز الثقل في المنتصف ← محايد/غير مؤكد
العرض البصري:
خط متقطع مع رمز ⚖️ يحدد مركز الثقل داخل المناطق النشطة. لون الخط يطابق الميل الاتجاهي.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🏦 كشف البصمة المؤسسية
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ما يقيسه:
يفحص المؤشر الشذوذات الحجمية — شموع حجمها يتجاوز المتوسط بشكل كبير بينما يبقى السعر محتوى داخل المنطقة.
لماذا هذا مهم:
الحجم الكبير بدون حركة سعرية غالباً يشير إلى لاعبين مؤسسيين يبنون مراكز. لا يمكنهم تجميع أو توزيع كميات كبيرة بدون ترك "بصمة" في بيانات الحجم.
تفسير الدرجة:
• أقل من 30%: نشاط تجزئة عادي
• 30-50%: بعض الاهتمام المؤسسي مكتشف
• فوق 50%: بصمة مؤسسية كبيرة (تُحدد بأيقونة 🏦)
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📈 مراحل النضج
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚒ مرحلة التشكّل
المنطقة تم تحديدها للتو. الطاقة منخفضة، والنمط يحتاج وقتاً أكثر للتطور. الاختراقات المبكرة خلال هذه المرحلة لديها معدلات فشل أعلى.
📈 مرحلة النمو
المنطقة تتطور بشكل جيد. الطاقة تتراكم، ونمط التجميع يصبح أكثر تحديداً. راقب زيادة عدد الرفض عند الحدود.
✅ مرحلة النضج
مرحلة التداول المثلى. المنطقة راكمت طاقة كبيرة، البصمات المؤسسية غالباً مرئية، ودرجات جودة الاختراق عادة في أعلى مستوياتها.
⚠ مرحلة الإرهاق
المنطقة استمرت أطول من المدة النموذجية. بينما تبقى الطاقة مرتفعة، قد يفقد النمط قوته التنبؤية.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎨 دليل العناصر البصرية
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
تأثير الصندوق ثلاثي الأبعاد
العرض ثلاثي الأبعاد يخلق عمقاً بصرياً مع وجه علوي ووجه جانبي، مما يجعل الصناديق بارزة بوضوح. قابل للتعديل عبر إعدادات "عمق 3D" و"ارتفاع 3D %".
خطوط الضغط
خطوط أفقية منقطة داخل المناطق النشطة تصور توزيع الضغط الداخلي. الخطوط الأقرب لمركز الثقل أكثر وضوحاً.

Adaptive Z-Score Oscillator [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Adaptive Z-Score Oscillator transforms price action into statistical significance measurements by calculating how many standard deviations the current price deviates from its moving average baseline, then dynamically adjusting threshold levels based on historical distribution patterns. Unlike traditional oscillators that rely on fixed overbought/oversold levels, this indicator employs percentile-based adaptive thresholds that automatically calibrate to changing market volatility regimes and statistical characteristics. By offering both adaptive and fixed threshold modes alongside multiple moving average types and customizable smoothing, the indicator provides traders and investors with a robust framework for identifying extreme price deviations, mean reversion opportunities, and underlying trend conditions through the visualization of price behavior within a statistical distribution context.
🟢 How It Works
The indicator begins by establishing a dynamic baseline using a user-selected moving average type applied to closing prices over the specified length period, then calculates the standard deviation to measure price dispersion:
basis = ma(close, length, maType)
stdev = ta.stdev(close, length)
The core Z-Score calculation quantifies how many standard deviations the current price sits above or below the moving average basis, creating a normalized oscillator that facilitates cross-asset and cross-timeframe comparisons:
zScore = stdev != 0 ? (close - basis) / stdev : 0
smoothedZ = ma(zScore, smooth, maType)
The adaptive threshold mechanism employs percentile calculations over a historical lookback period to determine statistically significant extreme zones. Rather than using fixed levels like ±2.0, the indicator identifies where a specified percentage of historical Z-Score readings have fallen, automatically adjusting to market regime changes:
upperThreshold = adaptive ? ta.percentile_linear_interpolation(smoothedZ, percentilePeriod, upperPercentile) : fixedUpper
lowerThreshold = adaptive ? ta.percentile_linear_interpolation(smoothedZ, percentilePeriod, lowerPercentile) : fixedLower
The visualization architecture creates a four-tier coloring system that distinguishes between extreme conditions (beyond the adaptive thresholds) and moderate conditions (between the midpoint and threshold levels), providing visual gradation of statistical significance through opacity variations and immediate recognition of distribution extremes.
🟢 How to Use This Indicator
▶ Overbought and Oversold Identification:
The indicator identifies potential overbought conditions when the smoothed Z-Score crosses above the upper threshold, indicating that price has deviated to a statistically extreme level above its mean. Conversely, oversold conditions emerge when the Z-Score crosses below the lower threshold, signaling statistically significant downward deviation. In adaptive mode (default), these thresholds automatically adjust to the asset's historical behavior, i.e., during high volatility periods, the thresholds expand to accommodate wider price swings, while during low volatility regimes, they contract to capture smaller deviations as significant. This dynamic calibration reduce false signals that plague fixed-level oscillators when market character shifts between volatile and ranging conditions.
▶ Mean Reversion Trading Applications:
The Z-Score framework excels at identifying mean reversion opportunities by highlighting when price has stretched too far from its statistical equilibrium. When the oscillator reaches extreme bearish levels (below the lower threshold with deep red coloring), it suggests price has become statistically oversold and may snap back toward the mean, presenting potential long entry opportunities for mean reversion traders. Symmetrically, extreme bullish readings (above the upper threshold with bright green coloring) indicate potential short opportunities or long exit points as price becomes statistically overbought. The moderate zones (lighter colors between midpoint and threshold) serve as early warning areas where traders can prepare for potential reversals, while exits from extreme zones (crossing back inside the thresholds) often provide confirmation that mean reversion is underway.
▶ Trend and Distribution Analysis:
Beyond discrete overbought/oversold signals, the histogram's color pattern and shape reveal the underlying trend structure and distribution characteristics. Sustained periods where the Z-Score oscillates primarily in positive territory (green bars) indicate a bullish trend where price consistently trades above its moving average baseline, even if not reaching extreme levels. Conversely, predominant negative readings (red bars) suggest bearish trend conditions. The distribution shape itself provides insight into market behavior, e.g., a narrow, centered distribution clustering near zero indicates tight ranging conditions with price respecting the mean, while a wide distribution with frequent extreme readings reveals volatile trending or choppy conditions. Asymmetric distributions skewed heavily toward one side demonstrate persistent directional bias, whereas balanced distributions suggest equilibrium between bulls and bears.
▶ Built-in Alerts:
Seven alert conditions enable automated monitoring of statistical extremes and trend transitions. Enter Overbought and Enter Oversold alerts trigger when the Z-Score crosses into extreme zones, providing early warnings of potential reversal setups. Exit Overbought and Exit Oversold alerts signal when price begins reverting from extremes, offering confirmation that mean reversion has initiated. Zero Cross Up and Zero Cross Down alerts identify transitions through the neutral line, indicating shifts between above-mean and below-mean price action that can signal trend changes. The Extreme Zone Entry alert fires on any extreme threshold penetration regardless of direction, allowing unified monitoring of both overbought and oversold opportunities.
▶ Color Customization:
Six visual themes (Classic, Aqua, Cosmic, Ember, Neon, plus Custom) accommodate different chart backgrounds and aesthetic preferences, ensuring optimal contrast and readability across trading platforms. The bar transparency control (0-90%) allows fine-tuning of visual prominence, with minimal transparency creating bold, attention-grabbing bars for primary analysis, while higher transparency values produce subtle background context when using the oscillator alongside other indicators. The extreme and moderate zone coloring system uses automatic opacity variation to create instant visual hierarchy, with darkest colors highlight the most statistically significant deviations demanding immediate attention, while lighter shades mark developing conditions that warrant monitoring but may not yet justify action. Optional candle coloring extends the Z-Score color scheme directly to the price candles on the main chart, enabling traders to instantly recognize statistical extremes and trend conditions without needing to reference the oscillator panel, creating a unified visual experience where both price action and statistical analysis share the same color language.

Acceptance/Rejection State Machine
Real-time market regime identification with six distinct states:
🟢 Accepted Long
Price moving away from VWAP with expanding bullish delta
Distance from VWAP increasing
Volume confirming the move
Indicates real buying pressure—trade WITH the move
🟢 Accepted Short
Price moving away from VWAP with expanding bearish delta
Distance from VWAP increasing
Volume confirming the move
Indicates real selling pressure—trade WITH the move
🟠 Fade Long
Price extended beyond threshold (>1.5 ATR above VWAP)
Delta not supporting the extension
Volume participation absent or diminishing
Potential mean-reversion short setup
🟠 Fade Short
Price extended beyond threshold (>1.5 ATR below VWAP)
Delta not supporting the extension
Volume participation absent or diminishing
Potential mean-reversion long setup
⚪ Chop
Price compressed near VWAP

Live Dashboard
Real-time metrics display (top-right corner):
Current market state with color coding
VWAP distance in ATR units
Delta ratio (bull/bear volume balance)
Delta state (Expanding/Compressing)
High-contrast design for instant readability
🎯 HOW TO USE
For Trend Trading:
Accepted Long/Short backgrounds indicate confirmed participation—stay with the trend
Strong moves typically travel 1-1.5 ATR from VWAP with delta support
Use VWAP as dynamic support/resistance
Combine with momentum indicators (MACD, RSI) for confluence
Price above VWAP + Accepted Long state = bullish bias
Price below VWAP + Accepted Short state = bearish bias
For Mean Reversion:
Fade Long/Short states signal overextension without participation
Price beyond 1.5 ATR from VWAP with weak delta = potential reversal
Look for price return to VWAP when extended
Bollinger Band extremes + Fade state = high-probability mean reversion setup
VWAP acts as mean reversion anchor during range-bound sessions
For Risk Management:
Chop state = avoid new entries
Bollinger Band compression + Chop = pre-expansion zone (wait for breakout)
Delta compression after strong move = early exhaustion warning
State transitions (Accepted → Neutral → Fade) = tighten stops
Signal Confirmation:
Strongest setups occur when multiple factors align:
BB breakout + Accepted state + price above/below VWAP
Price rejection at BB bands + Fade state
VWAP support/resistance hold + state transition
Delta expansion + distance increasing + trend direction
⚙️ SETTINGS
All components are fully customizable through organized input groups:

AI-based Price action confluence dashboard# **AI-Based Price Action Confluence Dashboard - Publication Guide**
Here's a comprehensive introduction guide for your TradingView indicator publication:
***
## **📊 TITLE**
**AI-Based Price Action Confluence Dashboard**
***
## **🎯 SHORT DESCRIPTION** (For the summary field)
A sophisticated real-time confluence scoring system that analyzes multiple price action signals across 15-minute timeframes, providing traders with an AI-weighted scoring mechanism (0-6 scale) to identify high-probability trade setups through visual signal panels and intelligent path detection.
***
## **📝 FULL DESCRIPTION**
### **Overview**
The AI-Based Price Action Confluence Dashboard is an advanced technical indicator designed to eliminate guesswork in intraday trading by systematically scoring and displaying multiple price action signals in real-time. Unlike traditional single-indicator approaches, this dashboard employs a confluence methodology that combines multiple independent signals to provide stronger trade confirmations and reduce false signals.
This indicator is specifically optimized for **1-minute chart analysis** while monitoring **15-minute price structure**, making it ideal for day traders and scalpers who need precise entry timing with larger timeframe context.
***
### **🔑 Key Features**
**✅ Real-Time AI Confluence Scoring**
- Dynamic scoring system (0-6 points) for both bullish and bearish setups
- Visual meter display shows signal strength at a glance
- Color-coded backgrounds indicate confluence levels (strong, moderate, mixed)
**✅ Multi-Signal Analysis**
The dashboard tracks 6 distinct signal types:
1. **FTFC (First to Finish Close)** - Base & Bonus signals
2. **Long/Short Grab** - Liquidity sweep patterns (Path A)
3. **High/Low Hold** - Extended momentum confirmation (+2 bonus)
4. **2-Up/2-Down** - Clean breakout patterns (Path B)
5. **Breakaway** - First candle gap strategies
**✅ Intelligent Path Detection**
- Mutually exclusive path logic prevents signal conflicts
- Automatically identifies whether price is following a "sweep path" or "clean path"
- Unavailable paths are clearly marked with gray indicators
**✅ Visual Signal Panels**
- 🟢 Green Light = Bullish signal ACTIVE
- 🔴 Red Light = Bearish signal ACTIVE
- 🟡 Yellow Light = Signal BUILDING (conditions partially met)
- ⚪ White Light = Signal OFF
- ▪️ Gray Square = Path UNAVAILABLE (mutually exclusive)
**✅ Comprehensive Alert System**
- 10 different alert conditions covering all major signals
- Strong confluence alerts (5+ points)
- Individual signal completion alerts
- Customizable alert messages
***
### **📐 How It Works**
#### **The Confluence Methodology**
This indicator implements a sophisticated confluence trading approach where multiple independent price action signals are combined to identify high-probability setups. Each signal type contributes points to either the bullish or bearish score, with a maximum of 6 points per direction.
**Scoring Breakdown:**
**BULLISH SIGNALS:**
- FTFC Base (15m close > previous 15m close) = +1
- FTFC Bonus (price clears 15th candle high) = +1
- **PATH A (Sweep):** Long Grab = +1, High Hold Bonus = +2
- **PATH B (Clean):** 2-Up = +1, 2-Up Bonus = +1
- Breakaway (gap above first candle) = +1
**BEARISH SIGNALS:**
- FTFC Base (15m close < previous 15m close) = +1
- FTFC Bonus (price clears 15th candle low) = +1
- **PATH A (Sweep):** Short Grab = +1, Low Hold Bonus = +2
- **PATH B (Clean):** 2-Down = +1, 2-Down Bonus = +1
- Breakaway (gap below first candle) = +1
#### **Path Detection Logic**
The indicator automatically determines which path the market is following:
**PATH A: SWEEP PATH**
- Activated when previous 15m low (bull) or high (bear) is breached
- Indicates liquidity grab before reversal
- Includes powerful +2 bonus for "Hold" confirmations
- Mutually exclusive with Path B
**PATH B: CLEAN PATH**
- Activated when previous 15m low (bull) or high (bear) holds
- Indicates strong directional momentum without sweep
- Cleaner price action but smaller point potential
- Mutually exclusive with Path A
This mutual exclusivity prevents double-counting and ensures signal accuracy.
***
### **🎨 How to Use**
#### **Installation**
1. Add indicator to your 1-minute chart
2. The dashboard appears as a table overlay (default: top right)
3. No additional indicators required - this is a complete system
#### **Reading the Dashboard**
**Top Section - Confluence Meter:**
- Shows current bull/bear scores with visual dot meters
- Background color changes based on confluence strength:
- **Bright Green/Red** = 5+ points (strong directional bias)
- **Medium Green/Red** = 3+ points (moderate bias)
- **Orange** = 3+ points both sides (conflicting signals)
- **Gray** = Low confluence (choppy conditions)
**Signal Panels Section:**
- Each row shows a signal type with bull/bear lights side-by-side
- Active signals (🟢🔴) contribute to the total score
- Building signals (🟡) indicate potential setups forming
- Unavailable paths (▪️) show which exclusive path is blocked
#### **Trading Strategy**
**High-Probability Long Entries:**
- Bull score ≥ 5 AND bear score ≤ 1
- Multiple green lights active in signal panels
- PATH A or PATH B showing full completion
- Consider entry on pullback to key 15m level
**High-Probability Short Entries:**
- Bear score ≥ 5 AND bull score ≤ 1
- Multiple red lights active in signal panels
- PATH A or PATH B showing full completion
- Consider entry on rally to key 15m level
**Avoid Trading When:**
- Both scores are 3+ (conflicting signals)
- No path is showing active/building status
- Score is below 3 on both sides (low confluence)
#### **Risk Management**
- Use 15m swing high/low for stop placement
- Target opposing 15m level or previous session extremes
- Scale out at partial targets when confluence decreases
- Best results when combined with proper position sizing
***
### **⚙️ Customization**

Manipulation Candle SystemThis indicator is based on One Candle Scalping Strategy by ProRealAlgos
## **Manipulation Candle System – Simple Explanation**
This indicator helps traders identify **potential market manipulation** during the **US stock market session (New York)** and highlights **key reversal signals**.
---
### **1. Daily ATR (Average True Range)**
* Measures the **average price movement** of the day.
* Helps determine if a move is **normal** or **abnormally large**.
* The indicator calculates **daily ATR** automatically.
* If 15 minute opening candle is more than 25% of Daily ATR, we can call it manipulation is happen .
---
### **2. 15-Minute Opening Candle Box**
* Highlights the **first 15-minute candle** of the US session.
* The box **extends for 2 hours** after the market opens.
* **Color indicates market condition**:
* **Red box** → the opening candle range is bigger than 25% of the daily ATR → potential **manipulation**.
* **Blue box** → the opening candle range is normal → **neutral session**.
* Helps traders visually spot when the market might be trying to **trap traders**.
---
### **3. 5-Minute Reversal Detection**
* Looks for **reversal candle patterns** on the 5-minute chart:
* Bullish engulfing or strong bullish pin → **buy reversal**.
* Bearish engulfing or strong bearish pin → **sell reversal**.
* Only checks during the **US session**, after 15 minute opening candle.
* Helps traders **time entries** in the direction of potential market reversals.
---
### **4. Buy / Sell Signals**
* Shows **triangle markers** on the chart:
* **Green triangle below candle** → buy signal.
* **Red triangle above candle** → sell signal.
* The signal text also indicates:
* `"BUY (Trap Reversal)"` → if the reversal occurs during manipulation.
* `"BUY (Normal Reversal)"` → if the reversal occurs during a neutral session.
* `"SELL (Trap Reversal)"` → if a sell reversal occurs during manipulation.
* `"SELL (Normal Reversal)"` → otherwise.
---
### **5. Info Table**
* Appears at the **top-right** of the chart.
* Shows:
1. Daily ATR value.
2. 15-minute opening candle range.
3. Session condition → `"MANIPULATION"` or `"NEUTRAL"`.
4. Current reversal signal text.
---
### **How a New Trader Can Use It**
1. Look at the **color of the opening box**:
* Red → be cautious, price may trap traders.
* Blue → normal market behavior.
2. Watch for **reversal signals** on the 5-minute chart.
3. Use the **info table** to confirm ATR, session bias, and signals.
4. Combine this with **risk management** before entering trades.

## 📊 How It Works
### Signal Logic
The indicator identifies two types of signals:
**Base Signals** (Small triangles):
- Price pulls back between Fast EMA and Slow EMA
- RSI is in the swing zone (40-60 by default)
- Price reclaims the Fast EMA with momentum
- Optional: Volume spike confirmation
**High-Confidence Signals** (Large triangles):
- All base signal criteria met
- Higher timeframe confirms the trend direction
- HTF RSI and slope alignment
- These are your primary trade signals
### Entry Conditions
#### Long Entry (🟢 HC L)
1. Fast EMA > Slow EMA (uptrend)
2. Previous candle closed between the EMAs (pullback)
3. Current candle crosses above and closes above Fast EMA (reclaim)
4. RSI between 40-60 (swing zone)
5. **HTF Confirmation**: Daily/4H price above EMA50, RSI > 50, positive slope
6. Optional: Volume > 1.5x 20-bar average
#### Short Entry (🔻 HC S)
1. Fast EMA < Slow EMA (downtrend)
2. Previous candle closed between the EMAs (pullback)
3. Current candle crosses below and closes below Fast EMA (reclaim)
4. RSI between 40-60 (swing zone)
5. **HTF Confirmation**: Daily/4H price below EMA50, RSI < 50, negative slope
6. Optional: Volume > 1.5x 20-bar average

## 💡 Strategy Tips
### Best Practices
1. **Only trade High-Confidence signals** - Ignore base signals unless very experienced
2. **Respect the HTF** - Don't fight the higher timeframe trend
3. **Use proper position sizing** - Risk 1-2% of account per trade
4. **Partial profits work** - Take 50% off at TP1, let rest run to TP2
5. **Let winners run** - Trailing stop helps capture extended moves
6. **Be patient** - Quality over quantity; wait for 70%+ confluence
### Optimal Timeframes
- **Primary Chart**: 1H, 4H, Daily (swing trading)
- **HTF Setting**: One level higher than your chart
- If trading 1H → Set HTF to 4H or D
- If trading 4H → Set HTF to D or W
- If trading Daily → Set HTF to W
### Market Conditions
**Best Performance**:
- Trending markets with healthy pullbacks
- Clear support/resistance zones
- Moderate volatility
**Avoid Trading**:
- Extremely choppy/sideways markets
- Major news events (unless experienced)
- Low confidence scores (<40%)

UNDETECTED FX - 250 Pip LevelsIndicator Description – UNDETECTED FX: 250-Pip Psychological Levels
This indicator automatically plots major 250-pip psychological levels on XAUUSD and highlights the price zones around them. These levels act as strong reaction points where liquidity, reversals, and institutional activity commonly occur.
What the Indicator Does
✔ Plots every 250-pip level starting from a user-defined base (e.g., 4050 → 4075 → 4100 → 4125 → …)
✔ Each level is represented by a thick black horizontal line for maximum visual clarity
✔ Around every 250-pip level, the indicator draws a liquidity zone
Top of zone: +200 pips
Bottom of zone: –200 pips
(configured as ± zoneHalf in settings)
✔ Uses extend: both, so levels stretch across the entire chart and stay fixed, no matter how far you scroll
✔ Zones are filled with a customizable color for clear premium/discount visualization
✔ The indicator never repaints and requires no updates after drawing — all levels are fixed on their price coordinates
Why It’s Useful
🔹 Helps quickly identify institutional levels where gold often reacts
🔹 Acts as a framework for scalping, intraday trading, and swing bias
🔹 Makes it easy to spot liquidity sweeps, rejections, and premium/discount areas
🔹 Clearly shows market structure breaks around key psychological levels
🔹 Forces discipline by creating predefined, fixed levels for trading decisions
Best Use Case
XAUUSD scalpers
Intraday traders who rely on precision entries
Traders who use psychological levels, liquidity grabs, or smart-money concepts
Anyone wanting a clean, non-cluttered chart with high-impact levels only

**When Does It End:**
- Volatility ratio drops < 1.5
- ADX starts rising (direction appears)
- Price respects support/resistance again
- Usually 1-5 days
---
## CONFLUENCE SYSTEM
### How It Works
The system scores each potential entry on 5 factors. More factors aligning = higher probability.
### Confluence Requirements by Regime
**Trending Regimes** (strictest):
- Minimum 2/5 required
- 3/5 = Good
- 4-5/5 = Excellent
**Ranging Regimes** (moderate):
- Minimum 1-2/5 required
- 2/5 = Good
- 3+/5 = Excellent
**Consolidation** (breakout only):
- Volume is most critical
- Direction confirmation
- Less confluence needed
### Adjusting Minimum Confluence
**If too few signals:**
- Lower from 2 to 1
- More trades, lower quality
**If too many false signals:**
- Raise from 2 to 3
- Fewer trades, higher quality
**Recommendation:**
- Start at 2
- Adjust based on win rate
- Aim for 55-65% win rate

## COMMON QUESTIONS
**Q: How many trades per month should I expect?**
A: Depends on timeframe and settings. Daily chart: 5-15 trades/month. 4H chart: 15-30 trades/month.
**Q: What's a good win rate?**
A: 55-65% is excellent. 50-55% is good. Below 50% needs adjustment.
**Q: Should I trade all regimes?**
A: Beginners: Only trending. Intermediate: Trending + ranging. Advanced: All except chaos.
**Q: Can I use this on any timeframe?**
A: Best on Daily and 4H. Works on 1H with more noise. Not recommended <1H.
**Q: What if I'm in a trade and regime changes?**
A: Exit immediately (if using indicator) or let strategy handle it automatically.
**Q: How do I know if I'm over-optimizing?**
A: If results are perfect on one period but fail on another. Use walk-forward testing.

A: Yes, but they're rare (1-2/month). Don't wait only for these.
**Q: Can I combine this with other indicators?**
A: Yes, but keep it simple. RSI, MACD already included. Maybe add volume profile.
**Q: What assets work best?**
A: Liquid stocks, major crypto, futures. Avoid forex spot (use futures), penny stocks.
