Z-HistogramIt is possible to approximate the underlying distribution of a random variable by using what is called an "Histogram". In order to construct an histogram one must first split the data into several intervals (also called bins) often of the same size and count the number of values falling within each intervals, the histogram plot is then constructed with the X axis representing the measured variable and the Y axis representing the frequency.
The proposed script aim to estimate the underlying distribution of a rolling z-score by constructing its histogram, here the histogram consist of 13 bins of width 0.5 rolling standard deviations. The length setting define the rolling z-score period, the window setting define the number of past data to be counted, finally using the "Total" option (true by default) will count all the rolling z-scores values since the first bar, in order to use the window setting make sure to uncheck the "Total" option.
DISPLAY
In order to see the entirety of the histogram make sure to double click on the indicator window and to have all the lower panels (text notes, pine editor...etc) hidden, finally make sure to zoom-in in order to see the frequency numbers displayed.
Z-Histogram on BTCUSD 15 min TF, the blue bins represent intervals situated over 0 while red bins represent intervals situated under 0. Here σ represent the X-axis in standard deviations, the histogram start with a bin situated at σ = -3 which count the number of times the rolling z-score was within -3 and -2.5, the histogram end with the bin situated at σ = 3 which count the number of time the rolling z-score was within 3 and 3.5.
It is also possible to look at the shape of the histogram without having the indicator window at full size.
INTERPREATION
An histogram can give really interesting information such as overall trend direction and strength. The direction can be measured by looking at the skewness of the histogram, with a negative skewness (the peak of the histogram situated at the right from the center) representing down-trending variations and positive skewness (the peak of the histogram situated at the left from the center) representing up-trending variations, while a symmetrical histogram could represent a ranging market. The farther away the peak of the histogram is situated from the center, the stronger the trend.
Another interesting characteristic is the tailedness of the histogram, which can give information about the cleanliness of the trend, for example a positive skew and high tailedness would represent a clean up-trend, as it could suggest less variations contrary to the main trend.
An histogram applied to the rolling z-score can give various useful information. As a recall the rolling z-score of the price measure the distance between the closing price and its moving average in term of rolling standard deviations, for example if the rolling z-score is equal to 2 it means that the closing price is currently 2 rolling standard deviations over its moving average.
Lets for example analyze the histogram using INTC 15 min tf with a window of 456 bars and rolling z-score of length = 100 in order to review longer term variations.
We can see from the histogram that the uptrend visible on the chart is represented by the bins situated over 0 having an overall higher frequency than the bins under 0, we can see that the closing price tended to stay between 1 and 1.5 rolling standard deviations over its period 100 moving average. Here bins under 0 accounts for retracements in the trend.
IN SUMMARY
An histogram can give various information regarding the price evolution of a security, the proposed script aim to plot the histogram of a rolling z-score. Now this script might not be too useful but it was fun to make, also it does not mean that an histogram is not an useful tool in the context of trading, the only thing required is a god implementation of it (like volume profiles for example)
In this post we have also reviewed some important statistical concepts such as distributions, z-score, skewness and tailedness, each being extremely important in the quantitative trading field.

GA - Value at RiskGA Value at Risk is a multifunctional tool. Its main purpose is to plot on the chart the Value at Risk . But it shows also integrated features related to the Volatility.
Value at Risk is a measure of the risk of loss for investments, given normal market conditions, in a period.
It measures and quantifies the level of financial risk. In this case, the risk is within position over a specific time frame.
Defining p as VaR, the probability of a loss greater than VaR is p, at most. Instead, the probability of loss that is less than VaR is 1-p, at least.
The VaR Breach occurs when a loss exceeds the VaR threshold .
For this case, VaR calculation uses the volatility estimation in a time interval. It defines the Probability Confidence according to the Normal Distribution. VaR is a percentile of the Normal Distribution. This is a multiplier of the Standard Deviation that define a Volatility Range.
The Normal Distribution Area around +- the Standard Deviation gives 68% of Confidence. 2 times the Standard Deviation returns a 95% of probability area. 3 time the Standard Deviation the Area returns 99.7% of Confidence.
Knowing VaR modeling, it is possible to determine the amount of a potential loss . Then, it is possible to know if there is enough capital to cover losses. In the same way, higher-than-acceptable risks forces reducing exposure in a financial instrument.
One of its practical use is to estimate the risk of an investment that is already at portfolio. Indeed, this is the purpose of the Value at Risk calculated in this script.
At the VaR Breach that investment has reached its worst scenario. Then, it can be the case to manage that investment into the balanced portfolio.
The Value at Risk does not tell when to enter the market.
Moving Averages
GA Value at Risk bases its calculations on a set of Moving Averages. Every feature of the script uses one of these Moving Averages for its algorithm.
Moving Averages from MA0 to MA8, are the core of each feature of the script.
By default, from MA0 to MA8, Moving Averages use the Fibonacci Series to define their lengths. This happens because of the power of the Golden Ratio in the market behavior.
Instead, the first moving average is an extra resource. Its purpose is to plot a Signal Line on the chart.
The script does not consider plotting every Moving Average on the chart. But it lets you enable the plotting of 7 Moving Averages (from MA0 to MA5 + Signal Line).
It is possible to select the Moving Average Formula to use in the script. This is a setting that affects every Moving Average. Then, it changes also the result of every feature of the script.
The selection is between:
Exponential Moving Average.
Simple Moving Average.
Weighted moving Average.
Simple Moving Averages and Pointers - Full Visibility
Moving Averages and Partial Visibility
The plotting of each Moving Average can be total or partial.
By default, the plotting of Moving Averages and Signal Line is partial.
When the price approaches a Moving Average a little part of the curve becomes visible. This highlights supports or resistances.
Besides, this tracking remains on the chart. Then it shows supports and resistances that the price reached during its progression.
The Partial Visibility Algorithm is a great advantage, ruling how to plot curves. It uses a parameter to set how much of the curves is to plot.
Exponential Moving Averages and Pointers - Partial Visibility
Exponential Moving Averages and Pointers - Full Visibility
Moving Averages and Pointers
As it is clear, it is not necessary to plot entire curves of Moving Averages on the chart. But it becomes relevant to plot Pointers to Moving Averages.
Indeed, the script plots horizontal segments that point to the latest Average Prices.
Every segment has a Label that shows Average Price, Length, and its related Moving Average (from MA0 to MA8). Besides, it is possible to extend the segment to right.
These pointers are a very useful automatization. They point to the Moving Averages. In this way, they show Dynamic Supports and Resistances as horizontal segments.
They are adaptive. Used together with the Volume Profile their progression approaches Edges of High Nodes.
This adaptive behavior makes easy to see when the price reaches Volume High Nodes and slows down.
Moving Average Pointers use the Partial Visibility Algorithm. In this case, the algorithm shows pointers with higher frequency than curves.
Moving Averages Pointers have:
Horizontal Segment as a Pointer with Arrow.
Label with details.
Circle to the current Average Price.
Weighted Moving Averages and Pointers - Full Visibility
Volatility Channels
Having Moving Averages, from MA0 to MA8, it is possible to plot 9 Volatility Channels.
Each Volatility Channel uses one of the Moving Averages, from MA0 to MA8.
Indeed, each Volatility Channel has the same designation of the Moving Average used.
The Standard Deviation defines the Volatility Range. It uses the length of the Moving Average related to the Volatility Channel.
The Volatility Range is unique for each Volatility Channel. In the same way, each Volatility Channel is unique because of its relation to only one Moving Average.
By default, each volatility channel has the 2 value as Standard Deviation Multiplier. This gives 95% of Confidence that the price will stay into the Volatility Range.
Using the Simple Moving Average, each Volatility Channel becomes a Bollinger Bands envelop.
Volatility Channels work very well even using Exponential or Weighted Moving Averages.
MA0 - Volatility Channel
Volatility Channels - From MA0 to MA8
Value at Risk (VaR)
GA Value at Risk plots VaR according to the volatility. The VaR plotting follows the Trend Momentum or Buying-Selling Waves.
By default, VaR follows the Trend Momentum by 2 times the Standard Deviation of MA0. Where MA0 is the first Moving Average and Volatility Channel of the set.
Besides, by default, the calculation of the Value at Risk is adaptive. It does not follow the Volatility Channel Bands. But it changes according to the fast reaction of the price into the Volatility Range.
By default, VaR follows the main momentum even if the price is moving in opposition to it. This occurs as long as the Trend Momentum persists.
In the settings box, It is possible to select the following of the latest Buying Wave or Selling Wave.
In this case, VaR changes according to the change of Buying Wave or Selling Wave. This means that, on these conditions, VaR follows main swings. Then it follows the weakening and the strengthening of the trend momentum as long as it persists.
The plotting of the Value at Risk can show these features:
Red cycle to show the Value at Risk at the current price.
Look Back Red Line that shows the progression of the Value at Risk.
Label with details.
MA0 - Value at Risk - Not Adaptive
MA0 - Value at Risk - Adaptive
It is possible to use a different Moving Average and Volatility Channel from the set. This affects the calculation and the plotting of the Value at Risk. In this way, the algorithm return the Value at Risk for the short, middle, or long-term.
Then, you can get the Value at Risk for that Financial Instrument, calculated for ~1 year or more so as for 1 month.
The Value at Risk does not tell you when to enter the market. Besides, it does not show you that the trend is changing.
MA3 - Value at Risk - Adaptive
Value at Profit (VaP)
The Value at Profit has a descriptive purpose. It points the Volatility Band that is opposite to the Value at Risk.
I chose Value at Profit as a designation for this feature. It does not tell you where to exit the market.
But is shows what the price progression is pointing on. This happens following the switching between Volatility Ranges.
The VaP follows the Volatility Band where the price tends to converge.
An outperforming or underperforming price is running faster than the average trend. Then when the price runs enough to converge to the Volatility Band, it is over extended or under extended.
At these conditions, the increased buying or selling pressure affects the price behavior. This slows down the price progression.
The Algorithm behind the Value at Profit is adaptive. Then the pointer jumps up and down the Volatility Bands of the 9 Volatility Channels. This occurs according to the price progression, following the switching between Volatility Ranges.
So, the VaP points a Volatility Band as long as the price can have chances to converges on it. Instead, when the price has chances to exceed the Volatility Band, the VaP points to the next one.
The plotting of the Value at Profit occurs enabling its Label with details.
Value at Profit - MA0 Volatility Channel Upper Band
Value at Profit - MA6 Volatility Channel Upper Band
Price Extension
When the price runs far away from the average trend price, GA Value at Risk can plot the price extension.
It shows the distance in percentage of the price from a Moving Average of the set. This tends to highlight conditions where the price is over or under extended.
An overbought or oversold condition precedes the shortening of the Trust. It is a cause of the hesitation of the price to continue its progression. This includes also Climactic Points and Signs of Dominance.
The Price Extension plotting uses a variation of the Partial Visibility Algorithm. It plots the Price Extension Arrow only when there are specific volatility conditions.
When the Partial Visibility is set to 0, the Price Extension Arrow is always visible on the chart.
The plotting of the Price Extension includes a Label with details.
Over Extension - The Price is Outperforming MA0
Under Extension - The Price is Underperforming MA0
Price Extension Coloring for Bars and Line Chart
GA Value at Risk lets you enable the coloring of vertical charts. Green and Red colors mark the over and under extended price on bars, candle sticks, and also on the Line Chart.
The Price Extension Algorithm colors Bars and Line Chart by a momentum function.
Indeed, the coloring happens following Relative Strength Index or Bollinger Bands %B.
These 2 Momentum functions are different. Indeed, they color the chart according to the purpose of their curves.
Coloring the Line Chart, it is necessary to put on front the script visibility.
Overbought and Oversold Conditions on Line Chart by Bollinger Bands %B
Overbought and Oversold Conditions on Candlesticks Chart by Relative Strength Index

PpSignal Volume Profilethis indicator shows us the strength of the volume. green is buy signal an orange is sell signal.
The yellow signal is the net volueme. Net volume is a technical indicator calculated by subtracting a security's uptick volume by its downtick volume over a specified period of time.
when the volume buy is greater than the volume of sell the background change to aqua color. When the sell volume is greater than the buy volume, the background is painted orange ...
MULTITIMEFRAME_VWAP_MANOJVWAP is a powerful concept.
It denotes the fair price that is traded in the market.
In other words, it represents a variance of POINT OF CONTROL (POC) which is a Market Profile / Volume Profile Concept.
It is a leading indicator as it is dependent on the price and volume .
Usually VWAP is used for intraday trades and Trading view as an in built indicator which works only for intraday.
This script plots daily vwap , monthly vwap , quarterly vwap and yearly vwap .
The suggested combination is :
intraday charts - daily vwap
daily charts - monthly and / or quarterly vwap
weekly charts - quarterly and / or yearly vwap
moving quantilesAlways works... Just kidding, indicates moving quantiles. Something between volume profiles and moving averages.
Point of Control (POC)**Point of Control (POC) Indicator**
This indicator identifies the price level where the most trading volume occurred over a specified lookback period (default: 365 days). The POC represents a significant support/resistance level where the market found the most acceptance.
**Key Features:**
- **POC Line**: Bright green horizontal line showing the highest volume price level
- **Volume Profile Analysis**: Divides price range into rows and calculates volume distribution
- **Value Area (Optional)**: Shows VAH and VAL levels containing 70% of total volume
- **Customizable**: Adjust lookback period, price resolution, colors, and line width
**How to Use:**
- POC acts as a magnet - price often returns to test these high-volume levels
- Strong support/resistance zone where significant trading activity occurred
- Useful for identifying key price levels for entries, exits, and stops
- Higher lookback periods (365 days) show longer-term significant levels
**Settings:**
- Lookback Period: Number of bars to analyze (default: 365)
- Price Rows: Calculation resolution - higher = more precise (default: 24)
- Toggle Value Area High/Low for additional context

21 SMA over 200 SMA Bullish Cross Highlighter21 SMA Over 200 SMA — Momentum Cross for BTC Scalpers
A precise and lightweight indicator designed to highlight when short-term momentum aligns with the broader Bitcoin trend.
It visualizes when the 21-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) crosses above the 200-period SMA, often signaling the beginning of a sustained directional move — especially effective on the 1-minute BTC chart during trending market conditions.
Core Concept
When the 21 SMA crosses above the 200 SMA on Bitcoin during an active uptrend, the probability increases that price will continue rising as short-term traders and algorithms join the move.
This indicator helps you identify that momentum shift in real time and react before the breakout gains full traction.
Features
Clear visual label for every bullish cross (21↑200)
Optional bearish cross labels (21↓200)
Optimized for 1m, 5m, and 15m BTC charts
Lightweight and efficient — ideal for multi-chart scalping layouts
Built-in alert conditions for manual alert setup
Excellent synergy with VRVP (Visible Range Volume Profile) for confirming volume-based breakout zones
Suggested Use
Focus on the 1-minute Bitcoin chart for early signals.
When a bullish cross appears, use VRVP to locate high-volume nodes or breakout levels for precise entries.
Confirm alignment on 5m or 15m charts before executing.
Combine with RSI, Stoch RSI, or volume analysis to refine timing and manage risk.
Trading Insight
The 21/200 SMA relationship has long been a trusted tool for trend identification.
When both averages slope upward and the cross occurs above a strong VRVP volume zone, it often marks the start of a new impulsive leg in BTC ideal for short-term scalps or the first confirmation of a broader trend continuation.
Created for disciplined BTC scalpers who value structured setups, clarity, and confirmation through data rather than noise.

───────────────────────────────────────
HOW IT WORKS
───────────────────────────────────────
PSYCHOLOGICAL LEVELS CONCEPT:
Psychological levels are round numbers where traders tend to place orders, creating natural support and resistance zones. These include:
- Forex: 1.0000, 1.0100, 1.0050 (pips)
- Crypto: $100, $1,000, $10,000 (whole numbers)
- Indices: 10,000, 10,500, 11,000 (points)
Why They Matter:
- Traders naturally gravitate to round numbers
- Stop losses cluster at these levels
- Take profit orders concentrate here
- Institutional algorithmic trading often targets these levels
DYNAMIC ATR-BASED SPACING:
Traditional Method:
- Fixed spacing regardless of volatility
- May be too tight in volatile markets
- May be too wide in quiet markets
Dynamic Method (Recommended):
- Uses ATR (Average True Range) to measure volatility
- Automatically adjusts level spacing
- Tighter levels in low volatility
- Wider levels in high volatility
Calculation:
1. Calculate ATR over specified period (default: 14)
2. Multiply by ATR multiplier (default: 2.0)
3. Round to nearest psychological level
4. Generate levels at dynamic intervals
Benefits:
- Adapts to market conditions
- More relevant levels in all volatility regimes
- Reduces clutter in trending markets
- Provides more detail in ranging markets
LEVEL TYPES:
Major Levels (250 pip/point):
- Highest significance
- Primary support/resistance zones
- Color: Red (default)
- Style: Solid lines
- Spacing: 2.5x standard step
Standard Levels (100 pip/point):
- Secondary importance
- Common psychological barriers
- Color: Blue (default)
- Style: Dashed lines
- Spacing: Standard step
Mid Levels (50% between major):
- Optional intermediate levels
- Halfway between major levels
- Color: Gray (default)
- Style: Dotted lines
- Usage: Additional confluence points
Intraday Levels (sub-100 pip):
- For intraday traders
- Fine-grained precision

- Style: Dotted lines
- Only shown on intraday timeframes
SMART ASSET DETECTION:
Forex Pairs:
- Detects major currency pairs automatically
- Uses pip-based calculations
- Standard: 100 pips (0.0100)
- Major: 250 pips (0.0250)
- Intraday: 20, 50, 80 pip subdivisions
Cryptocurrencies:
- Automatic price magnitude detection
- Adaptive spacing based on price:
* Under $0.10: Levels at $0.01, $0.05
* $0.10-$1: Levels at $0.10, $0.50
* $1-$10: Levels at $1, $5
* $10-$100: Levels at $10, $50
* $100-$1,000: Levels at $100, $500
* $1,000-$10,000: Levels at $1,000, $5,000
* Over $10,000: Levels at $5,000, $10,000
Indices & CFDs:
- Fixed point-based system
- Major: 500 point intervals (with 250 sub-levels)
- Standard: 100 point intervals
- Suitable for stock indices like SPX, NASDAQ
COMBINED LEVEL LABELS:
When multiple level types coincide at the same price:

1. Set Visible Range % (10% recommended for clarity)
2. Adjust Label Offset for readability
3. Configure performance limits if needed
Level Selection:
1. Enable/disable level types based on trading style
2. Adjust line counts for each type
3. Choose line styles and colors for visibility
TRADING STRATEGIES:
Breakout Trading:
1. Wait for price to approach major or standard level
2. Monitor for consolidation near level
3. Enter on confirmed break above/beyond level
4. Stop loss just beyond the broken level
5. Target: Next major or standard level
Rejection Trading:
1. Identify major psychological level
2. Wait for price to test the level
3. Look for rejection signals (wicks, bearish/bullish candles)
4. Enter in direction of rejection
5. Stop beyond the level
6. Target: Previous level or mid-level
Range Trading:
1. Identify range between two major levels
2. Buy at lower psychological level
3. Sell at upper psychological level
4. Use standard and mid-levels for position management
5. Exit if major level breaks with volume
Confluence Trading:
1. Look for combined levels (Std + Major)
2. These represent high-probability zones
3. Use as primary support/resistance
4. Increase position size at confluence
5. Expect stronger reactions at these levels
Session-Based Trading:
1. Note opening level at session start (Asian/London/NY)
2. Trade breakouts of major levels during high-volume sessions
3. London/NY sessions: More likely to break levels
4. Asian session: More likely to respect levels (range trading)
RISK MANAGEMENT WITH PSYCHOLOGICAL LEVELS:
Stop Loss Placement:
- Place stops just beyond psychological levels
- Add buffer (5-10 pips for forex)
- Avoid exact round numbers (stop hunting risk)
- Use previous major level as maximum stop
Take Profit Strategy:
- First target: Next standard level (partial profit)
- Second target: Next major level (remaining position)
- Trail stops to breakeven at first target
- Use distance table to calculate risk/reward
Position Sizing:
- Larger positions at major levels (higher probability)
- Smaller positions at intraday levels (lower probability)
- Scale in at standard levels between major levels
- Reduce size when multiple levels are close together
TIMEFRAME CONSIDERATIONS:
Higher Timeframes (4H, Daily, Weekly):
- Focus on Major and Standard levels only
- Disable Intraday and Mid levels
- Wider level spacing expected
- Use for swing trading and position trading
Lower Timeframes (5m, 15m, 1H):
- Enable all level types
- Use Intraday levels for precision
- Tighter level spacing acceptable
- Good for day trading and scalping
Multi-Timeframe Approach:
- Identify major levels on Daily/4H charts
- Refine entries using 15m/1H intraday levels
- Trade in direction of higher timeframe bias
- Use lower timeframe levels for position management

EDUCATIONAL DISCLAIMER
───────────────────────────────────────
This indicator identifies psychological price levels based on round numbers that tend to act as support and resistance. The methodology includes:
- Round number detection algorithms
- ATR-based dynamic spacing calculations
- Asset-specific level determination
- Distance percentage calculations
Psychological levels are a recognized concept in technical analysis, studied by traders and institutions. However, they do not guarantee price reactions and should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy including proper risk management, volume analysis, and price action confirmation.
───────────────────────────────────────
USAGE DISCLAIMER
───────────────────────────────────────
This tool is for educational and analytical purposes. Psychological levels can act as support or resistance but price reactions are not guaranteed. Dynamic spacing may generate different levels in different market conditions. Always conduct independent analysis, use proper risk management, and never risk capital you cannot afford to lose.

Nifty Trendometer - Nifty 50 Live Tracker🚀 Nifty Trendometer — The Ultimate Live Market Tracker for the Nifty 50 🚀
🔍 One glance, total clarity. One tool, total control.
The Nifty Trendometer is a next-generation TradingView indicator designed for serious traders and portfolio managers who want to see what institutions see. It merges advanced demand–supply analytics, live breadth monitoring, and macro stress signals — all in one clean, self-updating dashboard.
🧭 What It Does?
Tracks Nifty 50 internals live: See how many of India’s top 30 stocks are gaining, losing, or collapsing beyond key thresholds.
Identifies actionable demand and supply zones: The algorithm automatically scans for low-volume demand zones, supply imbalances, and high-volume consolidation clusters (HVNs) — letting you spot where smart money is active.
Generates precision buy/sell decisions: Smart zone-touch detection coupled with real-time volume validation gives you high-confidence reversal or breakout signals — without repainting.
Measures macro risk instantly: Integrated India VIX, USDINR, Bank Index, and Basis stress readings tell you when the market’s underlying engine is overheating or calming down.
⚡ Key Highlights
✅ Dynamic Zone Mapping — Automatically highlights fresh demand (green), supply (purple), and HVN (blue) regions as they form — no manual drawing needed.
✅ Smart Volume Logic — Detects price reactions backed by significant volume surges — confirming genuine breakouts, not noise.
✅ Crash & Rally Detector — A proprietary “Crash Probability” engine calculates live risk and momentum balance, showing how close the market is to tipping into panic or breakout.
✅ ORB & Gap Analysis — Monitors intraday open-range breakouts, gap fades, and continuation patterns with volatility confirmation.
✅ Macro Stress Dashboard — Instantly shows whether India’s market risk is local, global, or liquidity-driven — using DXY-relative INR movement, bank index health, and basis stress.
✅ Smart Alerts — Be notified automatically when the system detects:
• Crash Symptoms (Warning)
• Crash Confirmation (Crisis)
• Rally Watch
• Rally Start (Go Signal)
🧠 The Logic — Simplified
The Trendometer combines the following:
Volume profile geometry (for hidden demand/supply zones)
Price reaction mapping (for confirmed reversals and rejections)
Multi-factor stress scoring (VIX, currency, banks, basis, and breadth)
Probability modeling (a smooth blend of seven risk dimensions, scaled to a live “Crash–Rally Probability” score)
Everything updates tick-by-tick, producing a dynamic, data-driven market weather report.
📊 One Dashboard, Infinite Insight
The indicator creates a compact, color-coded table on your TradingView chart showing:
VIX % change
USDINR strength (absolute or DXY-relative)
Bank index trend
Nifty breadth and depth (number of stocks down / deeply down)
Basis stress (futures vs spot)
ORB/gap behavior
Overall crash or rally probability (e.g., “↓ 68% | ↑ 32%”)
Visual cues instantly shift from green (safe) to orange (watch) to red (crisis) — no guessing required.
💡 Ideal For:
Intraday traders seeking early directional bias confirmation
Swing traders spotting reversals at demand/supply pivots
Investors wanting macro stress signals before volatility spikes
Quant-oriented analysts tracking multi-factor market health
⚙️ Plug-and-Trade Simplicity
Just add the Nifty Trendometer to your TradingView chart and watch the market structure, sentiment, and institutional footprints reveal themselves in real time.
No parameter tuning. No manual drawing. No data delays.
📈 Nifty Trendometer — When precision meets perspective.
Because the best traders don’t predict — they measure the factors which affect the market.

- Tracks stage duration, re-sets on transitions, and retains entry references for risk and reward projections.
- Allows users to tune slope thresholds, lookbacks, and sub-stage durations to align with desk-specific playbooks.
Momentum & Leadership Scoring
- SATA (Stage Analysis Trend Acceleration) engine evaluates 10 institutional checkpoints: breakout quality, MA structure, RS trend, momentum, volume drive, and overhead supply.
- Minervini Trend Template scoring synthesizes 50/150/200-day relationships, 52-week positioning, and relative strength, outputting a 10-point gauge.
- Mansfield Relative Strength module auto-adjusts lookbacks per timeframe, emphasizing leadership versus a configurable benchmark.
- Dashboard renders progress bars and status indicators (“Confirmed” vs “Review”) for rapid institutional diligence.
Professional Visual Experience
- Theme-aware gradients, typography, and alternating row treatments provide maximum legibility without distracting glow.
- Price, moving averages, and background fills adopt cohesive accent tones tied to their respective stages for immediate context.
- Support/resistance labels, annotations, and volume cues inherit theme colors, keeping on-chart annotations minimal yet readable.
- Dashboard headers, separators, and icons guide the eye through workflow blocks: Stage summary, SATA qualifiers, Trend & Risk Metrics.
Alert Architecture
- Built-in alerts cover every structural regime change (Stage 1–Stage 4) so desks can automate watchlists and allocation shifts.
- Predictive Stage 2 setup alert monitors sub-stage evolution, SATA score, RS, and volume spikes to flag imminent breakouts.
- Stage 2 confirmation alert requires synchronized trend template, SATA strength, and volume thrust—ideal for deployment on high-conviction entries.
- Stage 2 weakening alert detects fading momentum (SATA drop, trend template degradation, MA breaches) to support risk reduction policy.
- Each alert is registered via alertcondition() for one-click activation in TradingView’s Alerts panel; optional alert() calls respect the user’s on-chart toggles.
Workflow Guidance
- Choose theme via Visual Theme input to match the underlying chart; adjust transparency if overlays stack with other studies.
- Enable dashboard for at-a-glance institutional readouts; hide it when screen real estate is limited or for export.
- SATA/Trend Template blocks can be toggled to focus on either Weinstein or Minervini methodologies independently.
- Use relative strength inputs (Benchmark Symbol, RS Period) to align the indicator with your investment universe (e.g., SPX, NDX, sector ETFs).
- Risk settings (Account Risk %, position sizing toggle) contextualize stop levels and risk/reward multipliers inside the dashboard.
- Combine with volume profile or market breadth overlays for a holistic Stage Analysis execution stack.

SMART STRUCTURE PRO
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
A comprehensive market structure analysis tool that identifies institutional trading
patterns and smart money concepts for improved trade timing and decision-making.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📊 WHAT IT DOES
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
This indicator automatically detects and visualizes key market structure elements:
🔹 BOS (Break of Structure)
- Identifies trend continuation patterns
- Marks when price breaks above previous highs (bullish) or below previous lows (bearish)
- Confirms trend strength and momentum
🔹 CHoCH (Change of Character)
- Detects potential trend reversals
- Alerts when market structure shifts from bullish to bearish or vice versa
- Helps identify early reversal opportunities
🔹 Order Blocks
- Highlights institutional entry zones
- Identifies the last opposite candle before a structure break
- Shows areas where smart money likely entered positions
🔹 Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
- Detects price imbalances and inefficiencies
- Shows areas where price moved rapidly leaving gaps
- Often act as support/resistance when retested
🔹 Liquidity Zones
- Marks swing high and low levels
- Identifies areas where stop losses likely cluster
- Shows potential stop hunt and liquidity grab zones
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 HOW TO USE
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
BULLISH SETUP:
1. Wait for Bullish CHoCH (trend reversal signal) or BOS ↑ (continuation)
2. Look for price to pull back into an Order Block or Fair Value Gap
3. Enter long when price bounces from these zones
4. Place stop loss below the Order Block
5. Target the next liquidity zone or resistance level
BEARISH SETUP:
1. Wait for Bearish CHoCH (trend reversal signal) or BOS ↓ (continuation)
2. Look for price to retrace into an Order Block or Fair Value Gap
3. Enter short when price rejects from these zones
4. Place stop loss above the Order Block
5. Target the next liquidity zone or support level
DASHBOARD INTERPRETATION:
• Trend: Current market direction (Bullish/Bearish)
• Volume: Confirmation strength (High volume = stronger signals)
• Signal: Latest structure break detected
• Key High/Low: Critical levels for the current trend
• Position: Price location (Premium = expensive, Discount = cheap)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚙️ SETTINGS GUIDE
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
STRUCTURE DETECTION:
• Pivot Length (Default: 10)
- Lower values = More signals but potentially weaker
- Higher values = Fewer signals but stronger/more reliable
- Recommended: 8-12 for intraday, 10-15 for higher timeframes
• Structure Line Extension
- Visual preference for how far lines extend
- Does not affect signal detection
SMART MONEY CONCEPTS:
• Order Block Extension: How long OB boxes remain visible
• FVG Extension: How long gap boxes remain visible
• Min FVG Size: Filter out small gaps (0 = show all)
- Set to 10-20% to reduce noise
- Set to 0 to see all gaps
VOLUME FILTER:
• Volume Confirmation (Recommended: ON)
- Filters weak signals without volume support
- Reduces false breakouts
• Volume Multiplier (Default: 1.5)
- Higher = Stricter filtering (fewer but stronger signals)
- Lower = More signals (but may include weak ones)
DISPLAY:
• Dashboard: Toggle information panel
• Trend Background: Subtle color tint showing current trend
• Dashboard Position: Choose corner placement
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🔔 ALERTS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Available alert conditions:
✓ Bullish BOS - Uptrend continuation confirmed

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚠️ IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
REPAINTING BEHAVIOR:
• Pivot points WILL repaint until confirmed (this is by design and unavoidable)
• Structure breaks (BOS/CHoCH) use CLOSED candles and do NOT repaint after confirmation
• Order Blocks and FVGs are drawn on confirmed signals and do NOT repaint
• All signals wait for candle close before triggering
BEST PRACTICES:
• Use on higher timeframes (15min+) for more reliable signals
• Combine with other analysis (support/resistance, volume profile, etc.)
• Wait for candle close confirmation before acting on signals
• Use proper risk management - this is not a standalone trading system
• Backtest on your preferred instrument and timeframe
PERFORMANCE:
• Limited to 100 boxes, 100 lines, 100 labels for optimal performance
• Older objects automatically removed as new ones appear
• Works on all markets (Forex, Crypto, Stocks, Indices, Commodities)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📚 CONCEPTS EXPLAINED
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
MARKET STRUCTURE:
Market structure refers to the pattern of price movements creating swing highs
and lows. Understanding structure helps identify trend direction and potential
reversal points.
SMART MONEY CONCEPTS:
These are trading techniques based on tracking institutional order flow and
understanding where large players (banks, funds, institutions) enter and exit
positions.
ORDER BLOCKS:
The last opposing candle before a strong directional move. Institutions often
leave unfilled orders in these zones, which can act as support/resistance when
price returns.
FAIR VALUE GAPS:
Areas where price moved so quickly that it left an imbalance. These gaps often
get "filled" as price returns to find equilibrium, creating trading opportunities.

Institutional Orderflow Pro — VWAP, Delta, and Liquidity
Institutional Orderflow Pro is a next-generation order flow analysis indicator designed to help traders identify institutional participation, directional bias, and exhaustion zones in real time.
Unlike traditional volume-based indicators, it merges VWAP dynamics, cumulative delta, relative volume, and liquidity proximity into a single unified dashboard that updates tick-by-tick — without repainting.
The indicator is open-source, transparent, and educational. It aims to provide traders with a clearer read on who controls the market — buyers or sellers — and where liquidity lies.
The indicator combines multiple institutional-grade analytics into one framework:
RVOL (Relative Volume) = Compares current volume against the average of recent bars to identify strong institutional participation.
zΔ (Delta Z-Score) = Normalizes the buying/selling delta to reveal unusually aggressive market behavior.
CVDΔ (Cumulative Volume Delta Change) = Shows which side (buyers/sellers) is dominating this bar’s order flow.
VWAP Direction & Slope = Determines whether price is trading above/below VWAP and whether VWAP is trending or flat.
PD Distance (Prev Day Confluence) = Measures the current price’s distance from previous day’s high, low, close, and VWAP in ATR units — highlighting liquidity zones.
ABS/EXH Detection = Identifies institutional absorption and exhaustion patterns where momentum may reverse.
Bias Computation = Combines VWAP direction + slope to give a simplified regime signal: UP, DOWN, or FLAT.
All metrics are displayed through a color-coded, non-repainting HUD:
🟢 = bullish / favorable conditions
🔴 = bearish / weak conditions
⚫ = neutral / flat
🟡 = absorption (potential trap zone)
🟠 = exhaustion (momentum fading)
| Metric | Signal | Meaning |
| ---------------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **RVOL ≥ 1.3** | 🟢 | High institutional activity — valid setup zone |
| **zΔ ≥ 1.2 / ≤ -1.2** | 🟢 / 🔴 | Unusual buy/sell aggression |
| **CVDΔ > 0** | 🟢 | Buyers dominate this bar |
| **VWAP dir ↑ / ↓** | 🟢 / 🔴 | Institutional bias long/short |
| **Slope ok = YES** | 🟢 | Trending market |
| **PD dist ≤ 0.35 ATR** | 🟢 | Near key liquidity zones |
| **Bias = UP/DOWN** | 🟢 / 🔴 | Trend-aligned environment |
| **ABS/EXH active** | 🟡 / 🟠 | Caution — possible reversal zone |
How to Use
Confirm Volume Context → RVOL > 1.2
Align with Bias → Take longs only when Bias = UP, shorts only when Bias = DOWN.
Check Slope and VWAP Dir → Ensure trending context (Slope = YES).
Confirm CVD and zΔ → Flow should agree with price direction.
Avoid ABS/EXH Triggers → These signal exhaustion or absorption by large players.
Enter Near PD Zones → Ideal trade zones are within 0.35 ATR of prior-day levels.
This multi-factor confirmation reduces noise and focuses only on high-probability institutional setups.
Originality
This script was written from scratch in Pine v6.
It does not reuse existing public indicators except for standard built-ins (ta.vwap, ta.atr, etc.).
The unique combination of delta z-scoring, VWAP slope filtering, and real-time confluence zones distinguishes it from typical orderflow tools or cumulative delta overlays.
The core innovation is its merged real-time HUD that integrates institutional metrics and natural-language feedback directly on the chart, allowing traders to read market context intuitively rather than decode multiple subplots.
Notes & Disclaimers
This indicator does not repaint.
It’s intended for educational and analytical purposes only — not as financial advice or a guaranteed signal system.
Works best on liquid instruments (Futures, Indices, FX majors).
Avoid non-standard chart types (Heikin Ashi, Renko, etc.) for accurate readings.
Open-source, modifiable, and compatible with Pine v6.
Recommended Use
Apply it with clean charts and standard candles for the best clarity.
Use alongside a basic structure or volume profile to contextualize institutional bias zones.

Order Flow RSI - Price / CVD / OIOrder Flow RSI blends three powerful market perspectives — Price , Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) , and Open Interest (OI) — into one unified RSI-style oscillator.
It reveals momentum and imbalance across these data streams and highlights situations where participation, liquidity, and positioning disagree — moments that often precede reversals.
What it does
The indicator converts:
Price → RSI (classic momentum),
CVD → RSI (buy/sell pressure balance),
OI → RSI (position expansion/contraction)
…then plots all three RSIs together on the same 0–100 scale.
A fourth Consensus RSI (average of any two or all three) can optionally be shown to simplify the view.
Core logic
CVD engine – based on TradingView’s native volume-delta request.
Modes: Continuous (default, smooth line), Anchored (resets each session), Rolling window.
Open Interest – pulled automatically from the symbol’s “_OI” feed; aligns to chart timeframe for real-time flow.
RSI calculation – standard RSI applied to each data stream, optionally smoothed (SMA / EMA / RMA / WMA / VWMA).
Signals – optional background highlights when:
All three RSIs are overbought (red) or oversold (green), or
Any pair show opposite extremes (e.g., price overbought + OI oversold).
Consensus RSI – arithmetic mean of the selected RSIs, summarizing overall market tone.
Inputs overview
CVD settings: anchor period, lower-TF delta, mode, rolling length
RSI lengths: separate for price, CVD, OI
Smoothing: type + period applied to all RSIs at once
Consensus: choose which RSIs to average
Signals: enable/disable each combination; optional alerts
Levels: adjustable OB/MID/OS (default 70 / 50 / 30)
Visuals: fill between active RSIs, background highlights, level lines, colors in Style tab
How to read it
All 3 overbought (red): broad exhaustion → possible correction
All 3 oversold (green): broad depletion → possible bounce
Opposite pairs: divergence between price and participation
Price↑ but OI↓ (red) → weak rally, fading participation
Price↓ but CVD↑ (green) → hidden accumulation
Combine with structure and volume profile for confirmation.
Notes
Works best on assets with full CVD + OI data (futures, BTC, etc.).
Use Continuous CVD for smooth RSI, Anchored for session analysis.
Smoothing 2–5 EMA is a good starting point to reduce noise.
All styling (colors, line types, thickness) is adjustable in the Style tab.
Limitations & caveats
CVD requires accurate tick/volume/delta data from your data feed. Performance may differ across instruments.
OI availability varies by exchange / symbol. Where OI is absent, pairwise OI signals are not evaluated.
This indicator is a tool — it generates signals of interest, not guaranteed profitable trades. Backtest and combine with your risk rules.
Smoothing introduces lag; longer smoothing reduces noise but delays signals.
Order Flow RSI bridges traditional momentum analysis and order-flow context — giving a multi-dimensional view of when markets are truly stretched or quietly reloading.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Aggression Bulbs v3.1 (Sessions + Bias, fixed)EYLONAggression Bulbs v3.2 (Sessions + Bias + Volume Surge)
This indicator highlights aggressive buy and sell activity during the London and New York sessions, using volume spikes and candle body dominance to detect institutional momentum.
⚙️ Main Logic
Compares each candle’s volume vs average volume (Volume Surge).
Checks body size vs full candle range to detect strong directional moves.
Uses an EMA bias filter to align signals with the current trend.
Displays green bubbles for aggressive buyers and red bubbles for aggressive sellers.
🕐 Sessions
London: 08:00–12:59 UTC+1
New York: 14:00–18:59 UTC+1
(Backgrounds: Yellow = London, Orange = New York)
📊 How to Read
🟢 Green bubble below bar → Aggressive BUY candle (strong demand).
🔴 Red bubble above bar → Aggressive SELL candle (strong supply).
Bubble size = relative strength (volume × candle dominance).
Use in confluence with key POI zones, volume profile, or delta clusters.
⚠️ Tips
Use on 1m–15m charts for scalping or intraday analysis.
Combine with your session bias or FVG zones for higher accuracy.
Set alerts when score ≥ threshold to catch early momentum.
Silent Trigger Silent Trigger combines widely used concepts under one scoring engine. Each module adds weight only when its conditions are met:
1. Higher-Timeframe (HTF) context
• Requests 1H and the next HTF up (e.g., 4H/D) with request.security(...) on confirmed bars only.
• Uses RSI(14) and a MACD line (EMA12–EMA26 difference) for bias.
• By default HTF weights the score. There is an option to require HTF alignment if you prefer a hard filter.
2. Market regime
• ADX for trend strength.
• Bollinger Band width and a fractal-energy proxy to detect squeeze/coiling vs expansion.
3. Smart-money / Wyckoff structure
• High-volume narrow bars, absorption, spring/upthrust, and liquidity grabs past recent swing highs/lows.
4. Momentum & divergences
• RSI and MACD-line divergences (regular + hidden) and simple exhaustion checks.
5. Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
• 3-bar gap with mid-gap revisit confirmation.
6. Volume context
• Relative volume and a compact 10-bin rolling volume profile to locate HVN proximity.
7. Sessions / time filter
• Optional London/NY “kill zone” participation filter.
8. Correlation (optional)
• Simple BTC trend check for USD-quoted markets.
Pre-Move (yellow) logic:
Triggers only when the market is compressed (squeeze/low fractal energy), ADX is rising, the MACD histogram is near zero (pressure building), and there is a money-flow impulse (MFI slope and/or OBV Z-score spike).
The yellow diamond is plotted on the side of the expected move:
• Below for bullish reversals / Above for bullish breakouts.
• Above for bearish reversals / Below for bearish breakouts.
A built-in cooldown keeps yellows from spamming.
⸻
What appears on the chart
• Bull diamond (green): Total score ≥ your threshold and > bear score.
• Bear diamond (magenta): Mirror of the above.
• Pre-move (yellow): Early heads-up; use it with HTF context and structure.
All diamonds are intentionally tiny to minimize clutter.
⸻
Key settings
• Signal Mode & Min Probability – tighten/loosen confirmations.
• Use Higher TF in Scoring – soft weighting (default).
• Require HTF Alignment – optional hard gate.
• Module toggles – Smart Money, Wyckoff, FVG, Correlation, Sessions.
• Pre-Move – enable, cooldown bars, MFI levels, OBV Z-score threshold.
⸻
How to use (practical)
1. Choose a TF that matches your style (5–15m intraday, 1H–4H swing).
2. Read HTF bias first; trade in that direction unless structure clearly supports a reversal.
3. Treat yellow as “get ready.” Act only when a green/magenta prints with structure (S/R, FVG, HVN) and acceptable risk.
4. Place stops beyond the liquidity level or FVG midpoint; size positions conservatively.
⸻
Repainting & HTF policy
• No lookahead is used anywhere.
• request.security is called on confirmed bars; the HTF MACD line is computed inside the HTF context (single series), not by indexing a tuple.
• Signals are designed for bar-close confirmation. Intra-bar alerts can change until the bar closes.
⸻
Limitations (honest)
• Money-flow features depend on volume quality; thin/synthetic volume reduces reliability.
• Pre-moves can fail during unscheduled news shocks or when HTF trend is dominant.
• This is not financial advice. You are responsible for entries, exits, and risk.
⸻
Alerts
Built-in bull/bear alerts include direction and a probability bucket (Basic/Moderate/Strong/Extreme).
Pre-move yellows are primarily visual; you can still set an alert on their plot condition if desired.
⸻
Why this isn’t a “mashup”
• A single probability engine blends HTF bias, structure (liquidity/Wyckoff/FVG), regime, and volume into a score, rather than stacking unrelated indicators.
• A pre-move detector that requires compression + rising trend energy + money-flow impulse, and places the marker on the side of the expected move, with cooldown control.
• A lightweight rolling HVN check to bias continuation vs mean-reversion near key nodes.
⸻
Changelog (summary)
• Current release: pre-move module, HTF hard-gate option, tiny diamonds, clarified HTF/no-repaint policy, session filter tidy-up.
Hidden Liquidity Shift DetectorPurpose
The Hidden Liquidity Shift Detector identifies candles that indicate potential hidden accumulation or distribution activity based on volume and price action behavior. These setups often represent institutional absorption of liquidity ahead of larger moves.
How It Works
The script detects candles with the following characteristics:
Small real body relative to the total candle range
A strong wick (upper or lower) indicating rejection
Volume significantly higher than the recent average
It flags:
Hidden Selling (Distribution) when a bearish candle has a long upper wick and high volume
Hidden Buying (Accumulation) when a bullish candle has a long lower wick and high volume
These candles are often missed by traditional indicators but may precede significant reversals or breakouts.
Features
Automatic detection of absorption-style candles
Volume spike filtering based on configurable multiplier
Wick and body ratio thresholds to fine-tune signal quality
Non-intrusive signal markers (colored circles)
Real-time alerts for hidden buying/selling signals
Usage Tips
Use on 15m to 4H charts for intraday detection, or Daily for swing setups
Combine with support/resistance or volume profile zones for higher conviction
Clusters of signals in the same area increase reversal probability
Can be used alongside Wyckoff-style logic or smart money concepts

300-Candle Weighted Average Zones w/50 EMA SignalsThis indicator is designed to deliver a more nuanced view of price dynamics by combining a custom, weighted price average with a volatility-based zone and a trend filter (in this case, a 50-period exponential moving average). The core concept revolves around capturing the overall price level over a relatively large lookback window (300 candles) but with an intentional bias toward recent market activity (the most recent 20 candles), thereby offering a balance between long-term context and short-term responsiveness. By smoothing this weighted average and establishing a “zone” of standard deviation bands around it, the indicator provides a refined visualization of both average price and its recent volatility envelope. Traders can then look for confluence with a standard trend filter, such as the 50 EMA, to identify meaningful crossover signals that may represent trend shifts or opportunities for entry and exit.
What the Indicator Does:
Weighted Price Average:
Instead of using a simple or exponential moving average, this indicator calculates a custom weighted average price over the past 300 candles. Most historical candles receive a base weight of 1.0, but the most recent 20 candles are assigned a higher weight (for example, a weight of 2.0). This weighting scheme ensures that the calculation is not simply a static lookback average; it actively emphasizes current market conditions. The effect is to generate an average line that is more sensitive to the most recent price swings while still maintaining the historical context of the previous 280 candles.
Smoothing of the Weighted Average:
Once the raw weighted average is computed, an exponential smoothing function (EMA) is applied to reduce noise and produce a cleaner, more stable average line. This smoothing helps traders avoid reacting prematurely to minor price fluctuations. By stabilizing the average line, traders can more confidently identify actual shifts in market direction.
Volatility Zone via Standard Deviation Bands:
To contextualize how far price can deviate from this weighted average, the indicator uses standard deviation. Standard deviation is a statistical measure of volatility—how spread out the price values are around the mean. By adding and subtracting one standard deviation from the smoothed weighted average, the indicator plots an upper band and a lower band, creating a zone or channel. The area between these bands is filled, often with a semi-transparent color, highlighting a volatility corridor within which price and the EMA might oscillate.
This zone is invaluable in visualizing “normal” price behavior. When the 50 EMA line and the weighted average line are both within this volatility zone, it indicates that the market’s short- to mid-term trend and its average pricing are aligned well within typical volatility bounds.
Incorporation of a 50-Period EMA:
The inclusion of a commonly used trend filter, the 50 EMA, adds another layer of context to the analysis. The 50 EMA, being a widely recognized moving average length, is often considered a baseline for intermediate trend bias. It reacts faster than a long-term average (like a 200 EMA) but is still stable enough to filter out the market “chop” seen in very short-term averages.
By overlaying the 50 EMA on this custom weighted average and the surrounding volatility zone, the trader gains a dual-dimensional perspective:
Trend Direction: If the 50 EMA is generally above the weighted average, the short-term trend is gaining bullish momentum; if it’s below, the short-term trend has a bearish tilt.
Volatility Normalization: The bands, constructed from standard deviations, provide a sense of whether the price and the 50 EMA are operating within a statistically “normal” range. If the EMA crosses the weighted average within this zone, it signals a potential trend initiation or meaningful shift, as opposed to a random price spike outside normal volatility boundaries.
Why a Trader Would Want to Use This Indicator:
Contextualized Price Level:
Standard MAs may not fully incorporate the most recent price dynamics in a large lookback window. By weighting the most recent candles more heavily, this indicator ensures that the trader is always anchored to what the market is currently doing, not just what it did 100 or 200 candles ago.
Reduced Whipsaw with Smoothing:
The smoothed weighted average line reduces noise, helping traders filter out inconsequential price movements. This makes it easier to spot genuine changes in trend or sentiment.
Visual Volatility Gauge:
The standard deviation bands create a visual representation of “normal” price movement. Traders can quickly assess if a breakout or breakdown is statistically significant or just another oscillation within the expected volatility range.
Clear Trade Signals with Confirmation:
By integrating the 50 EMA and designing signals that trigger only when the 50 EMA crosses above or below the weighted average while inside the zone, the indicator provides a refined entry/exit criterion. This avoids chasing breakouts that occur in abnormal volatility conditions and focuses on those crossovers likely to have staying power.
How to Use It in an Example Strategy:
Imagine you are a swing trader looking to identify medium-term trend changes. You apply this indicator to a chart of a popular currency pair or a leading tech stock. Over the past few days, the 50 EMA has been meandering around the weighted average line, both confined within the standard deviation zone.
Bullish Example:
Suddenly, the 50 EMA crosses decisively above the weighted average line while both are still hovering within the volatility zone. This might be your cue: you interpret this crossover as the 50 EMA acknowledging the recent upward shift in price dynamics that the weighted average has highlighted. Since it occurred inside the normal volatility range, it’s less likely to be a head-fake. You place a long position, setting an initial stop just below the lower band to protect against volatility.
If the price continues to rise and the EMA stays above the average, you have confirmation to hold the trade. As the price moves higher, the weighted average may follow, reinforcing your bullish stance.
Bearish Example:
On the flip side, if the 50 EMA crosses below the weighted average line within the zone, it suggests a subtle but meaningful change in trend direction to the downside. You might short the asset, placing your protective stop just above the upper band, expecting that the statistically “normal” level of volatility will contain the price action. If the price does break above those bands later, it’s a sign your trade may not work out as planned.
Other Indicators for Confluence:
To strengthen the reliability of the signals generated by this weighted average zone approach, traders may want to combine it with other technical studies:
Volume Indicators (e.g., Volume Profile, OBV):
Confirm that the trend crossover inside the volatility zone is supported by volume. For instance, an uptrend crossover combined with increasing On-Balance Volume (OBV) or volume spikes on up candles signals stronger buying pressure behind the price action.
Momentum Oscillators (e.g., RSI, Stochastics):
Before taking a crossover signal, check if the RSI is above 50 and rising for bullish entries, or if the Stochastics have turned down from overbought levels for bearish entries. Momentum confirmation can help ensure that the trend change is not just an isolated random event.
Market Structure Tools (e.g., Pivot Points, Swing High/Low Analysis):
Identify if the crossover event coincides with a break of a previous pivot high or low. A bullish crossover inside the zone aligned with a break above a recent swing high adds further strength to your conviction. Conversely, a bearish crossover confirmed by a breakdown below a previous swing low can make a short trade setup more compelling.
Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP):
Comparing where the weighted average zone lies relative to VWAP can provide institutional insight. If the bullish crossover happens while the price is also holding above VWAP, it can mean that the average participant in the market is in profit and that the trend is likely supported by strong hands.
This indicator serves as a tool to balance long-term perspective, short-term adaptability, and volatility normalization. It can be a valuable addition to a trader’s toolkit, offering enhanced clarity and precision in detecting meaningful shifts in trend, especially when combined with other technical indicators and robust risk management principles.
Adaptive Range Breakout (ARB) IndicatorTitle: Adaptive Range Breakout (ARB) Indicator – Enhanced Mean Reversion with Dynamic Support/Resistance
Overview: The Adaptive Range Breakout (ARB) Indicator is designed to help traders identify potential mean reversion and breakout opportunities by leveraging a dynamic range based on recent price action and volatility. This script combines key elements such as Volume Profile analysis, ATR-based volatility adjustments, and an EMA trend filter to create a robust and adaptive trading tool. It aims to capture both trend continuations and reversals while filtering out noise in choppy markets.
Justification for Combining Components:
HVN (High Volume Node):
The core of this indicator is built around a custom VWAP calculation over a defined lookback period, which serves as the HVN line (High Volume Node). The HVN represents a volume-weighted average price, highlighting key levels where significant trading activity has occurred. These levels often act as areas of support or resistance, providing a reliable reference point for traders.
ATR-Based Dynamic Support and Resistance:
The Average True Range (ATR) is used to adjust the adaptive support and resistance levels around the HVN line. This ensures that the levels dynamically respond to changes in market volatility. The use of ATR helps filter out insignificant price movements and focuses on significant shifts in momentum, making the indicator adaptive to different market conditions.
EMA Trend Filter:
An Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is applied as a trend filter to distinguish between trending and range-bound market conditions. This filter helps in identifying whether the price movement is in line with the overall trend or if a potential reversal is more likely. By using the EMA crossover signals, the indicator can provide additional confirmation before generating buy or sell signals.
Adaptive Breakout and Mean Reversion Signals:
The indicator generates buy and sell signals based on the interaction between the price and the adaptive support/resistance levels. It incorporates a volatility filter to ensure that signals are only triggered when the market is sufficiently volatile, reducing the likelihood of false signals during low-volatility periods. Additionally, a cooldown period is implemented to prevent consecutive signals in quick succession, enhancing signal reliability.
Key Features:
Dynamic Range Levels: The adaptive support and resistance levels adjust based on recent price action and volatility, providing reliable areas for potential reversals or breakouts.
Volume-Weighted Analysis: The HVN line, derived from a custom VWAP calculation, highlights key price levels with significant trading activity, helping identify zones of support/resistance.
Trend Confirmation: The EMA trend filter helps differentiate between trend-following and mean-reversion signals, providing context for the generated buy and sell signals.
Volatility Filtering: The indicator uses ATR to gauge market volatility, ensuring signals are only generated during active market conditions.
Signal Cooldown: A customizable cooldown period reduces noise by spacing out signals, especially in choppy market environments.
Use Case:
The Adaptive Range Breakout (ARB) Indicator is suitable for traders looking to capitalize on both breakouts and mean-reversion opportunities. It is particularly useful in:
Range-Bound Markets: The adaptive support and resistance levels help capture reversals in range-bound conditions.
Trending Markets: The trend filter and breakout logic allow traders to follow momentum when the price breaks through key adaptive levels.
Intraday and Swing Trading: The dynamic nature of the indicator makes it applicable across different timeframes, catering to both intraday and swing traders.
Important Considerations:
This indicator does not guarantee future performance or provide an infallible prediction of price movements. It is a tool intended to support traders in their decision-making process based on historical price action and market conditions.
The effectiveness of the signals may vary depending on the asset, market conditions, and timeframe used. It is recommended to backtest the indicator and use it alongside other analysis techniques.
Always exercise caution and use appropriate risk management strategies when trading based on signals generated by this indicator.
Alerts: The indicator includes built-in alerts for:
Buy Signal Alert: Triggered when the price crosses above the adaptive support level, suggesting a potential reversal or continuation in an uptrend.
Sell Signal Alert: Triggered when the price crosses below the adaptive resistance level, indicating a potential reversal or continuation in a downtrend.
EMA Crossover Alerts: Alerts for EMA crossover signals, providing additional trend confirmation.
This script is a comprehensive tool designed to adapt to market conditions dynamically, combining multiple techniques to create a well-rounded approach to identifying trading opportunities. We encourage users to integrate it into their broader trading strategy and apply it with caution, understanding its strengths and limitations.
Price Action UltimateThe Price Action Ultimate indicator is an innovative tool designed to provide traders with a comprehensive view of price action based on either volume or touches. By default, the indicator displays touches, offering a unique perspective on price levels that have been frequently interacted with by the market.
At its core, the indicator divides the price range of a specified lookback period into a number of rows (default 25). For each row, it calculates either the volume traded or the number of times the price touched that level. This data is then visualized in two ways: as a histogram and as horizontal lines on the chart.
The histogram, displayed on the right side of the chart, represents the distribution of touches (or volume) across different price levels. Each bar in the histogram shows the number of touches and the percentage of total touches for that price level. The color of the bars ranges from a user-defined low activity color to a high activity color, providing a quick visual reference for the most active price levels.
The horizontal lines drawn across the chart represent the most significant levels based on touches (or volume). By default, the indicator displays the top 3 levels, but this can be adjusted. The thickness of these lines corresponds to the relative importance of each level - thicker lines indicate more touches or higher volume. This feature allows traders to quickly identify key support and resistance levels based on historical price action.
One of the most innovative aspects of this indicator is the option to fade older levels over time. When enabled, this feature gradually increases the transparency of lines as they age, with newer levels appearing more prominently. This helps traders focus on the most recent and relevant price action while still maintaining awareness of older, potentially significant levels.
The indicator offers flexibility in its display options. Users can choose to show levels based on volume, touches, or both. This allows traders to compare and contrast different perspectives on price action. Additionally, the indicator includes options to display a volume profile and a background fill for the analysis range, further enhancing its visual appeal and informational content.
What makes this indicator particularly valuable is its ability to provide a clear, uncluttered view of key price levels without relying on complex calculations or multiple indicators. It distills price action down to its essence - where price has spent the most time or where the most trading activity has occurred. This can be incredibly useful for identifying potential support and resistance levels, areas of consolidation, or possible breakout points.
For traders focused on price action strategies, this indicator offers a powerful tool to enhance their analysis. It provides a data-driven approach to identifying significant price levels, which can be used to inform entry and exit decisions, set stop losses, or anticipate potential market reactions.
This indicator is a tool to aid in market analysis and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions. Always combine multiple forms of analysis and practice proper risk management when trading. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
