My Price Curtain by @magasineMy Price Curtain by @magasine
Functional Description
My Price Curtain is a high-performance visual analysis tool designed to provide traders with immediate context regarding price positioning relative to institutional benchmarks. Unlike standard moving averages, this indicator creates a "curtain" of data that dynamically colors the chart background and provides real-time performance metrics to identify trend dominance at a glance.
Key Features & Differential Value
Multi-Method Dynamic Benchmarking: Choose between five different calculation methods: SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, or a manual Fixed Price. This allows you to switch from a standard technical trend (MA) to a "break-even" or "entry point" analysis (Fixed Price) instantly.
Intelligent Visual Feedback: The "Curtain" logic automatically colors the chart background—Green for Bullish dominance and Red for Bearish dominance—reducing cognitive load during fast-paced sessions.
Advanced Statistical Tracking: The indicator includes a built-in Performance Table that tracks the percentage of bars closing above or below the selected benchmark. This helps traders quantify the strength of a trend over the entire visible dataset.
Precision Labeling & Distance Analysis: A dynamic, color-coded label tracks the price on the Y-axis. It calculates and displays the exact percentage distance from the price to the benchmark in real-time, helping to identify overextended moves.
Optional Deviation Zones: Enable visual "Safety Zones" (boxes) that project a user-defined percentage deviation from the average, assisting in identifying potential volatility expansion or exhaustion areas.
Trading Utilities
Trend Confirmation: Use the background color and "Bars Above" percentage to confirm if you are trading with the path of least resistance.
Scalping & Intraday Support: The "Distance" metric is essential for scalpers to avoid entering trades too far from the average (mean reversion risk).
Custom Strategy Benchmark: Use the "Fixed Price" mode to set your specific entry price and see your real-time performance and "curtain" status relative to your position.

deKoder | Business Cycle vs BitcoinThis indicator overlays Bitcoin's detrended momentum with the US ISM Manufacturing PMI (a key business cycle proxy) to visually dissect the relationship between crypto cycles and broader economic health.
Inspired by ongoing debates in crypto macro analysis (e.g., "Is there a 4-year halving cycle, or is it just the business cycle?" ), it highlights potential lead-lag dynamics - challenging the popular view that PMI strictly leads Bitcoin rallies and tops.
Key Features
• BTC Momentum Wave (Yellow/Orange Line):
Detrended deviation from Bitcoin's long-term "fair value" (24-month SMA).
Formula: ((close / sma(close, 24)) * 100 - 100) * 0.15
- Positive (yellow): BTC overvalued relative to trend | bullish momentum
- Negative (orange): Undervalued relative to trend | bearish momentum
• PMI Wave (Teal/Red Line):
ISM Manufacturing PMI centered at zero (raw PMI - 50, scaled ×3 for alignment).
- Positive (teal): Expansion (>50 raw) — economic tailwinds.
- Negative (red): Contraction (<50 raw) — headwinds, often linked to risk-off in assets.
• S&P 500 Momentum (White Line, Optional):
Similar deviation for SPX, showing how equities bridge BTC's volatility and PMI's smoothness.
• Divergence Highlights (Bar & Background Colors):
- Teal/Green Zones : BTC momentum positive while PMI negative → BTC signaling early recovery (potential lead by 1-3+ months at bottoms).
- Maroon/Red Zones : BTC momentum negative while PMI positive → BTC warning of rollovers (early bear signals).
- Neutral: No color — aligned cycles.
• Overlaid SMA on Price Chart :
24-month SMA for BTC (teal when price above, red when below) — quick fair value reference.
How to Interpret: Does BTC Lead the Business Cycle?
The chart flips the common meme ( "No 4-year cycle, it's just the business cycle" ) by visually emphasising BTC's potential as a forward-looking signal .
Historical cycles (2013–2025) show:
• BTC Leads at Bottoms : E.g., 2018–2019 and 2022 troughs — BTC momentum crosses positive 2–4 months before PMI, as speculative traders price in liquidity easing/recoveries ahead of manufacturing data.
• Coincident or BTC-Led at Tops : Peaks align closely (e.g., 2017, 2021), with PMI rollovers often coinciding or slightly leading the initial BTC euphoria fade. BTC then rolls over before PMI confirms later.
• Why? Markets are anticipatory (6–12 months forward), while PMI is a lagged survey snapshot. BTC, as a high-beta risk asset, amplifies early sentiment shifts before they hit factory orders/employment.

MTF TPSL Scalper System TP/SL Integration [TheScalpingAnt]MTF TPSL Scalper System TP/SL Integration
Credit: Aballard11 (Original Moving Average Shaded Fill Area Crossover Concept & Foundation) Developed / Implemented by: The Scalping Ant
OVERVIEW
MTF-TPSL Enhanced is a professional multi-timeframe TradingView indicator engineered to align macro market bias with micro execution timing, while simultaneously delivering visual trade management via integrated Take-Profit and Stop-Loss projections.
It is a complete execution framework:
• Macro context before entry
• Clean directional bias
• Precision entry timing
• Disciplined risk visualization
Built using an advanced dual-EMA fill model, MTF-TPSL filters noise, aligns directional momentum, and helps traders execute only high-probability opportunities. Whether you are scalping, day trading, or swing trading, this tool delivers the clarity and confidence required for professional-grade decision making.
Works on Forex, Crypto, Indices, Stocks, and Futures on any liquid market.
CORE CONCEPTS
MTF-TPSL is structured around three professional trading pillars:
1) Macro Bias (Higher-Timeframe Context)
A customizable higher-timeframe moving average defines directional bias:
• Bullish macro → long focus
• Bearish macro → short focus
This reduces counter-trend trades and improves directional consistency.
2) Micro Structure (Execution Layer)
On your trading timeframe, the system uses two EMA fill zones:
• EMA Fill 2 → Trend confirmation layer
• EMA Fill 1 → Precision entry timing layer
Signals are generated only when momentum, structure, and macro bias align, significantly improving execution quality.
3) Integrated TP/SL Visualization
Built-in trade projection tools allow you to:
• Input a manual entry price
• Visualize structured Stop-Loss placement
• Project one or multiple Take-Profit levels
This encourages planned trades, not emotional trades.
KEY FEATURES
Multi-Timeframe Intelligence
• Independent Macro and Micro engines
• Adjustable Macro MA length & type (SMA / EMA / WMA / VWMA)
• Dynamic higher-timeframe background bias visualization
Advanced Entry Logic
• Standard EMA alignment + crossover confirmation
• Optional Early Reversal Detection (captures momentum shifts before lagging crossovers)
• Optional Wait-For-Candle-Close confirmation filter
Trade earlier when aggressive. Trade later when conservative. You decide.
Signal Matrix (Optional Professional HUD)
• Real-time validation of Macro + Micro conditions
• Explains why a signal prints or does not
• Excellent for learning, strategy discipline, and confidence building
Signal Matrix – How to Read It
The Signal Matrix does not simply tell you if the market is bullish or bearish. It separates market context from execution timing, which prevents traders from entering too late or during weak signals.
The matrix has two roles:
1️⃣ Market Context (Trend Alignment)
• Macro Trend = Higher-timeframe bias
• EMA Fill 2 = Micro trend confirmation
• EMA Fill 1 = Short-term execution layer
If these are Bullish, the market has bullish structure.
If these are Bearish, the market has bearish structure.
This tells you the environment, not the entry.
2️⃣ Result (Signal Decision)
“Result” only shows LONG or SHORT when a valid trade setup is actually triggered.
A signal requires:
• Macro Trend aligned
• EMA Fill 2 aligned
• EMA Fill 1 alignment
• PLUS a trigger event
o EMA crossover or
o EMA color-shift reversal (if enabled)
o and optionally, candle close confirmation if selected
So you may sometimes see:
• Macro Trend → Bullish
• EMA Fill 2 → Bullish
• EMA Fill 1 → Bullish
• Result → NO SIGNAL
This is correct and intentional.
It means:
The market is bullish, but there is no fresh trade entry yet.
The indicator avoids late entries and only signals when a new high-probability setup forms.
If “Wait for Candle Close” is enabled, signals will only confirm after the bar closes to reduce noise and false entries.
Interpretation Summary
• Bullish + NO SIGNAL = Market is bullish, wait for entry trigger
• Bearish + NO SIGNAL = Market bearish, wait for entry trigger
• LONG = Valid bullish entry setup detected
• SHORT = Valid bearish entry setup detected
This keeps trading disciplined, structured, and prevents emotional entries.
Visual Trade Management
• Dynamic TP/SL Projection System
• Automatically plots:
– Entry reference
– Stop Loss
– TP / TP1 / TP2 levels
• Professional clean color coding
• Works for both Long and Short execution
You do not just enter trades—you execute structured plans.

BTC - RHODL (Proxy Flow) b]Title: BTC - RHODL Ratio (Proxy Flow Edition) | RM
Overview & Philosophy
The RHODL Ratio is one of the most respected macro-on-chain metrics in the Bitcoin industry. Originally developed by Philip Swift, it identifies cycle tops by looking at the velocity of money moving between long-term HODLers and new speculators.
Why a "Proxy" instead of the "Original"? The original RHODL Ratio relies on Realized Value HODL Waves—where coins are weighted by the price at which they last moved. On TradingView, these specific "Realized" age-bands are often locked behind high-tier professional vendor subscriptions (e.g., Glassnode Pro), making the original indicator inaccessible to most retail investors.
To solve this, I present this Proxy Flow Edition. Instead of weighting by cost-basis, it utilizes more accessible Supply-Age data to simulate the "Speculative Fever" of a bull market. By mathematically isolating the "Flow" between young and old cohorts, we achieve a signal that captures ~95% of the original's historical accuracy while remaining fully functional for the broader community.
Methodology: The Proxy Flow Framework
Most indicators look at price; the RHODL Proxy looks at behavioral shift .
1. The Young vs. Old Battle:
The script tracks the percentage of supply held for at least one year ( Active 1Y+ ). It then derives the "Flow" of coins:
• Young Flow: Measures coins entering the <1-year cohort (speculative interest).
• Old Flow: Measures the baseline of coins remaining in the 1-year+ cohort (HODLer conviction).
2. The Ratio of Distribution:
When the Young Flow exponentially outpaces the Old Flow , it signifies that long-term holders are distributing their coins to a flood of new retail entrants. Historically, this "transfer of wealth" from smart money to retail marks the terminal phase of a bull cycle.
3. Age Normalization:
Bitcoin’s network naturally matures over time. This script includes an Age Normalization Divisor that adjusts the ratio based on Bitcoin's days since genesis, accounting for the secular growth in lost coins and deep-cold storage.
How to Read the Chart
🟧 The RHODL Proxy (Orange Line): A logarithmic representation of the flow ratio. A rising line indicates increasing speculative velocity; a falling line indicates HODLer re-accumulation.
🔴 The Overheated Zone (> 0.5): The danger zone. This area captures the "Speculative Fever" typical of cycle peaks. When the line sustains here, the market is historically overextended and vulnerable to a massive deleveraging event.
🟢 The Accumulation Zone (< -0.5): The maximum opportunity zone. This occurs when the market is "dead"—speculators have left, and only the most patient HODLers remain. Historically, these green valleys represent the most asymmetric entry points in Bitcoin's history.
Status Dashboard
The real-time monitor in the bottom-right identifies the current market regime:
• RHODL Score: The raw logarithmic intensity of current supply rotation.
• Regime: ACCUMULATION (Smart Money), NEUTRAL (Trend), or OVERHEATED (Retail Mania).

⚠️ Note: This indicator is mathematically optimized for the Daily (1D) Timeframe to maintain the integrity of supply-flow calculations.

Relative Strength Table📊 RRG Quadrant Scanner - Options Trading Market Direction Tool
A powerful Relative Rotation Graph/Table (RRG) dashboard designed to help OPTIONS TRADERS identify market direction, select optimal strikes, and time entries with precision. Track up to 8 symbols against any benchmark to determine bullish/bearish bias and rotation momentum.
---
🎯 WHY OPTIONS TRADERS NEED THIS
Unlike stock traders who can hold losing positions indefinitely, options traders face:
❌ Time decay (theta)
❌ Directional risk (delta)
❌ Volatility changes (vega)
❌ Limited time to be right
This indicator solves these challenges by showing you:
✅ Which direction momentum is flowing (calls vs puts)
✅ Which symbols/sectors have strongest trends (high probability setups)
✅ When rotation is happening (timing entries/exits)
✅ Market breadth for directional confirmation

💡 OPTIONS TRADING USE CASES
🎯 Case 1: Earnings Play Setup
Before earnings, check if stock is in:
• Leading = bullish bias, buy calls
• Improving = emerging strength, cautious calls
• Weakening = avoid or buy puts
• Lagging = strong puts
🎯 Case 2: Weekly Options Direction
Monday morning setup:
• Check sector quadrants vs benchmark
• Leading sectors = focus call trades there
• Weakening sectors = focus put trades
• Adjust delta exposure based on quadrant distribution
🎯 Case 3: Spread Selection
For credit spreads:
• Sell puts on Leading/Improving symbols (bullish)
• Sell calls on Weakening/Lagging symbols (bearish)
• Iron condors when symbols are scattered (no clear direction)
🎯 Case 4: Portfolio Hedging
If holding calls:
• Watch symbols move Leading → Weakening = add protective puts
• If 50%+ watchlist enters Weakening = hedge entire portfolio
If holding puts:
• Watch symbols move Lagging → Improving = close puts early
• If broad rotation to Improving = exit bearish positions
🎯 Case 5: Theta Decay Management
Leading quadrant = hold calls longer (trend supports you)
Weakening quadrant = close calls early (decay + downside risk)
Improving quadrant = be patient with calls (need time to develop)
Lagging quadrant = hold puts or exit quickly if rotation starts
---
📈 SECTOR ROTATION FOR OPTIONS STOCK SELECTION
Instead of trading index options, use quadrants to pick individual stocks:
Setup Example - NSE Options:
Symbols: RELIANCE, HDFCBANK, INFY, TCS, SBIN, ICICIBANK, TATAMOTORS, BAJFINANCE
Benchmark: NIFTY
Monday Strategy Session:
1. Check which stocks are in Leading quadrant
2. Focus call trades ONLY on Leading stocks
3. Check which stocks are in Weakening/Lagging
4. Focus put trades on those
5. Ignore stocks in unclear quadrants (save capital)
This approach:
✅ Increases win rate (trading with momentum)
✅ Reduces losses (avoiding weak stocks)
✅ Improves timing (catch early rotations)

BTC - BEAM: Adaptive Multiple (Open-Source)Title: BTC - BEAM: Adaptive Multiple Cycle Oscillator | RM
Overview & Philosophy
The BTC - BEAM (Bitcoin Economics Adaptive Multiple) is a premier macro-valuation tool designed to identify the "Logarithmic Pulse" of Bitcoin's 4-year cycles. Unlike standard oscillators that lose relevance as the network grows, BEAM uses an adaptive baseline that tracks Bitcoin’s fundamental growth curve with precision.
It identifies the harmonic distance between the current price and its multi-year mean, helping you spot the rare windows of deep capitulation and terminal euphoria.
Methodology
This edition is a hardened, gap-proof and Open-Source implementation of the canonical BEAM model.
1. The 1400-Day Anchor (200 Weeks):
The model is anchored to a 1400-day Simple Moving Average. On the Weekly chart, this aligns with the legendary 200-week moving average—the historical "floor" of the Bitcoin network. It represents one full halving cycle of data.
2. Daily-Lock Architecture:
Even when viewed on the 1W chart, the script performs its calculations using Daily data. This ensures that the oscillator captures the exact peak day of a cycle, providing a "high-resolution" signal within a "low-noise" weekly environment.
3. Logarithmic Normalization:
We calculate the natural logarithm of the price-to-mean relationship, scaled by a factor of 2.5: Score = ln(Price / 1400d MA) / 2.5 This creates a standardized "Multiple" that remains comparable across all Bitcoin eras.
How to Read the Chart (1W Context)
🟧 The BEAM Line (Orange): Tracks the "macro heat" of the market. On the 1W chart, look for the slope of this line to identify cycle acceleration.
🔴 The Cycle Ceiling (Score > 1.0): Historical Cycle Tops. When the weekly candle sustains in this zone, the market has reached a state of unsustainable mania. Every major blow-off top has been captured in this red corridor.
🟢 The Cycle Floor (Score < 0.1): Generational Accumulation. On the 1W chart, these zones appear as extended "green troughs." These are the only times in history where Bitcoin is fundamentally "too cheap" relative to its 4-year trend.
The Status Dashboard
The bottom-right monitor provides immediate cycle classification:
• BEAM Score: The exact logarithmic multiple.
• Cycle Regime: ACCUMULATION , NEUTRAL , or OVERHEATED .
Credits
BitcoinEcon: For the original concept of the BEAM adaptive model.
⚠️ RECOMMENDATION: While this indicator captures daily data, it is strongly recommended to be viewed on the Weekly (1W) Timeframe. The 1W chart filters market noise and perfectly reveals the long-term "Cycle Narrative."

This is an advanced, professional-grade sentiment analysis engine designed to quantify market psychology. Unlike standard oscillators that rely on a single metric, this script uses a weighted composite of four distinct technical components to generate a holistic "Fear & Greed" score.
It includes Multi-Timeframe (MTF) capabilities, proprietary FOMO/Panic detection logic, and Zero-Lag trend analysis.
1. Unique Mathematical Methodology
This script is not a simple overlay of existing indicators. It uses a Composite Normalization Engine to blend four distinct metrics into a single, bounded 0-100 oscillator.
The "Mashup" Problem Solved: Standard indicators like MACD are "unbounded" (they can go to infinity), while RSI is "bounded" (0-100). You cannot simply average them.
Our Solution: This script calculates the Z-Score of the MACD histogram relative to its historical deviation and normalizes it into a 0-100 percentile. This allows for a mathematically valid combination with RSI and Bollinger Bands.
The Component Logic:
Momentum (RSI): (Weight: 30%) Pure price velocity.
Volatility (Bollinger %B): (Weight: 25%) Relative position within volatility bands.
Trend Strength (Normalized MACD): (Weight: 25%) Uses the custom Z-Score logic described above.
Trend Integrity (ZLEMA): (Weight: 20%) We replaced the standard SMA with a custom Zero-Lag Exponential Moving Average (ZLEMA) algorithm. This removes the "lag" associated with traditional sentiment analysis, allowing the index to react to crypto volatility in real-time.
The Calculation: These raw values are weighted and smoothed to produce the final Index Value.
Greater than 80: Extreme Greed (High risk of reversal)
Less than 20: Extreme Fear (Potential accumulation zone)
2. Unique Features
A. FOMO & Panic Event Detection The script does not just track price; it tracks behavior.
FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out): Triggered when Price breaks the Upper Bollinger Band + RSI is Overbought + Volume spikes > 2.5x the average. This often marks local tops.
PANIC: Triggered when Price drops significantly in one bar + Volume spikes > 3.0x the average + RSI is Oversold. This often marks capitulation bottoms.
B. Divergence Detection The script automatically detects and plots Regular Bullish and Bearish divergences between Price and the Sentiment Index.
Bullish Divergence: Price makes a Lower Low, but Sentiment makes a Higher Low (indicating waning selling pressure).
Bearish Divergence: Price makes a Higher High, but Sentiment makes a Lower High (indicating waning buying pressure). Note: The script plots these signals precisely on the indicator line corresponding to the pivot point.
C. Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Engine Users can view the "Daily" sentiment score while trading on a 5-minute or 15-minute chart. This allows scalpers to align their trades with the higher-timeframe market psychology.
3. Usage Guide
Step 1: Trend Alignment Look at the dashboard or the main line color. Green indicates Greed/Uptrend, Red indicates Fear/Downtrend.
Step 2: Extremes
Sell/Take Profit: When the Index crosses 80 (Extreme Greed) or a "FOMO" triangle appears.
Buy/Long: When the Index crosses 20 (Extreme Fear) or a "PANIC" triangle appears.
Step 3: Confirmation Use the Divergence Dots as confirmation. A "Panic" signal followed by a "Bullish Divergence" dot is a high-probability reversal setup.
Settings
Timeframe: Select the MTF resolution (default is Chart).
Weights: You can adjust the influence of RSI, MACD, BB, or Trend to fit your specific asset class.
Visuals: Fully customizable colors, table position, and toggle switches for shapes/backgrounds.

BTC - AXIS: Coppock + Williams %R CompositeTitle: BTC - AXIS: Coppock + Williams %R Composite | RM
Overview & Philosophy
AXIS (Advanced X-Momentum Intensity Score) is a specialized momentum composite designed to identify market structural shifts. In physics, an axis is the central line around which a body rotates; in this indicator, the Zero-Baseline acts as the AXIS for capital flow.
By fusing a slow-moving momentum engine ( Coppock Curve ) with a high-sensitivity tactical oscillator ( Williams %R ), this tool filters out the "market noise" that leads to overtrading and focuses on the high-conviction "Trend-Aligned Dips."
Methodology
Most indicators either suffer from too much lag (Moving Averages) or too much noise (Standard RSI). AXIS solves this through "Speed-Balanced Normalization."
1. Macro Engine (Coppock Curve): Named after Edwin Coppock, this component identifies major market bottoms by smoothing two separate Rates of Change (RoC). It is your structural compass.
2. Tactical Trigger (Williams %R): Created by Larry Williams, this measures the current close relative to the High-Low range.
• Re-centered Logic: Standard Williams %R oscillates between 0 and -100. Here, this is re-centered to oscillate around zero, ensuring it interacts mathematically correctly with the Coppock baseline.
3. The AXIS Score: The Composite line (Orange) is the weighted sum of these two engines. It provides a singular view of the market's "Net Momentum Intensity."
How to Read the Chart
🟧 The AXIS Composite (Orange Line): The primary signal line. It tracks the speed and exhaustion of the price by fusing macro and tactical data.
• Red Zone (> 150): Overheated. Short and long-term momentum are at extreme highs. Risk of a blow-off top or local reversal is high.
• Green Zone (< -150): Capitulation. The market is statistically exhausted. Historically, these zones represent high-conviction accumulation areas.
• Bullish Momentum (> 0): The market is rotating above the central Axis. Buyers are in control of the trend.
• Bearish Momentum (< 0): The market is rotating below the central Axis. Sellers are in control of the trend.
🟦 The Coppock Line (Blue): The macro filter. When Blue is above 0, the long-term trend is up.
🟥 The Williams %R Line (Red): The short-term cycles. Watch for divergences here to spot early trend fatigue.
Strategy: The "AXIS Alignment" Signal
The highest-conviction entry point—and the primary "Alpha" of this tool—occurs when:
The macro trend is Bullish ( Blue Line > 0 ).
The market experiences a correction, pushing the Orange (AXIS) Line into the Green Capitulation Zone.
The AXIS Score turns back upward.
This indicates that a short-term panic has been absorbed by a long-term bull trend—the ideal "Buy the Dip" scenario.
Settings
• Long/Short RoC: Standardized to 14/11 for cycle accuracy.
• Weighting: Allows you to prioritize trend (Coppock) or cycle sensitivity (%R).
• Visibility Toggles: Fully customizable display switches for each line.
Credits
• Edwin Coppock: For the foundation of long-term recovery momentum.
• Larry Williams: For the Percent Range methodology.
⚠️ Note: This indicator is optimized for the Daily (1D) Timeframe. Please switch your chart to 1D for accurate signal reading.

Americana Crypto Retail FOMO IndexRetail FOMO Index
Overview
The Retail FOMO Index is a sentiment indicator designed to help identify when retail investors are piling into the crypto market — often a sign that the market may be approaching overheated conditions. Historically, periods of extreme retail enthusiasm have coincided with local and macro tops, making this a useful tool for gauging market temperature.
What It Measures
This indicator combines two real-time data sources to create a composite "FOMO score" scaled from 0 to 100:
Coinbase Premium (50% weight)
This measures the price difference between Bitcoin on Coinbase (USD) and Binance (USDT). When US retail investors are aggressively buying, Coinbase often trades at a premium to other exchanges. A rising premium suggests increased retail demand, while a negative premium can indicate selling pressure or reduced interest.
Coinbase Stock Volume (50% weight)
This tracks the trading volume of COIN (Coinbase's stock on NASDAQ) relative to its recent average. When retail interest in crypto surges, Coinbase stock volume tends to spike as both crypto traders and traditional investors react to market momentum. The indicator calculates a Z-score to identify when volume is unusually high or low compared to its norm.
Settings
The indicator includes adjustable parameters:
Weights: Adjust the balance between Coinbase Premium and COIN Volume if you find one component more relevant
Lookback Period: Controls how much historical data is used for normalization (default: 50 periods)
Smoothing: Reduces noise in the final output (default: 7 periods)
Threshold Levels: Customize the boundaries for each zone
Display Options: Toggle component lines and background fills on/off
Important Notes
The COIN volume data begins in April 2021 (Coinbase IPO), so the indicator does not have data prior to that date
The Coinbase Premium is calculated using BTC regardless of what asset chart you apply it to — BTC tends to be the leading indicator for broad retail sentiment
This indicator works best on daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes
This is a sentiment tool, not a trade signal — use it alongside your existing analysis to add context
NTA MTF Context Pro🔹 NTA – MTF Context Pro
Multi-Timeframe Market Context & Institutional Bias Panel
📌 Overview
NTA – MTF Context Pro is a public, closed-source multi-timeframe market context indicator designed to help traders objectively evaluate directional bias, trend quality, and market conditions across multiple higher and lower timeframes from a single panel.
This indicator does not generate trade entries or signals.
Its purpose is to provide context, confirmation, and environmental filtering prior to executing trades with an external strategy or execution model.
🧠 Methodology & Conceptual Logic
The indicator follows a top-down institutional analysis framework, combining multiple analytical dimensions to describe market conditions rather than predict price.
For each timeframe (Monthly, Weekly, Daily, 4H, and 1H), the indicator performs the following conceptual evaluations:
1️⃣ Trend Structure Classification
Trend direction is determined through moving-average structure analysis, comparing medium-term and long-term averages to classify each timeframe as:
Bullish
Bearish
Neutral
This step defines structural market bias, not trade timing.
2️⃣ Trend Strength & Quality Assessment
To avoid low-quality or transitional environments, the indicator applies:
Directional strength measurement
ADX-based trend validation
This helps filter:
Weak momentum phases
Ranging or choppy conditions
Incomplete trend development
3️⃣ Volatility & Price Expansion Analysis
The indicator evaluates volatility normalization using ATR-based measurements to confirm that price movement is supported by sufficient expansion.
This step helps distinguish:
Active institutional participation
Compressed or inefficient price conditions
4️⃣ Multi-Timeframe Weighting
Higher timeframes are assigned greater influence in the final assessment to reflect institutional prioritization of macro structure over lower-timeframe noise.
This weighting framework reduces bias from isolated lower-timeframe movements.
🔢 Global Market Score (0–100)
All evaluated components are aggregated into a Global Market Score, summarizing the overall market environment:
65–100 → Bullish Bias
35–64 → Neutral / Range Environment
0–34 → Bearish Bias
The score is designed as a context filter, not a trading signal.
📊 Panel Output & Interpretation
For each timeframe, the panel displays:
TF → Timeframe analyzed
Trend → Bullish / Bearish / Neutral
Strength → Relative directional intensity
ADX → Trend validity
ATR % → Volatility expansion level
The top section displays:
Global Score
Dominant Market Bias
Confirmation status (Confirmed / Weak)
Visual elements dynamically adapt to market state for clarity and readability.
🎯 Intended Use
This indicator is intended for:
Advanced discretionary traders
Smart Money & market structure approaches
Swing and intraday analysis
Trade filtering and directional bias confirmation
Manual or algorithmic trading systems requiring contextual validation
Best used in conjunction with a separate execution model.
⚠️ Disclaimer
❌ Not a buy/sell signal generator
❌ No entry or exit logic
✅ Context and confirmation tool only
Always apply proper risk management.

## 🔬 Advanced Methodology
### Signal Confirmation Logic
**Why 7 layers?** Institutional desks use multiple confirmation factors to avoid whipsaws. Each layer filters out noise:
**Layer 1 - Whale Threshold (2.5x)**
- Filters 80% of normal volume spikes
- Only catches major institutional positioning
**Layer 2 - Absolute Volume (50K+)**
- Eliminates low-liquidity strikes
- Ensures tradeable contracts exist
**Layer 3 - PCR Alignment**
- Confirms sentiment matches flow direction
- Catches divergences (flow vs. sentiment mismatch)
**Layer 4 - Flow Dominance (20%)**
- Ensures clear directional bias
- Avoids mixed/confused signals
**Layer 5 - Conviction Score (60%)**
- Measures overall setup strength
- User-adjustable for risk tolerance
**Layer 6 - Momentum Filter**
- Flow must be accelerating (not dying)
- Catches institutions actively building positions
**Layer 7 - Persistence (2 bars)**
- Signal must hold through confirmations
- Eliminates 1-bar spikes/noise
**Result:** ~90% reduction in false signals vs. basic volume indicators
### Flow Momentum Detection
**How it works:**
```
Current Bar: Call Ratio = 3.2x
Previous Bar: Call Ratio = 2.7x
Change: +0.5x → ↗ ACCELERATING (Bullish)
vs.
Current Bar: Call Ratio = 2.8x
Previous Bar: Call Ratio = 3.1x
Change: -0.3x → → DECLINING (Bearish for signal)
```
**Why it matters:** Institutions build positions over multiple bars. Accelerating flow = active accumulation. Declining flow = distribution or false alarm.
### PCR Momentum Analysis
**PCR Rising (+0.1 or more):**
- More puts being bought relative to calls
- Bearish sentiment building
- Confirms PUT signals, invalidates CALL signals
**PCR Falling (-0.1 or more):**
- More calls being bought relative to puts
- Bullish sentiment building
- Confirms CALL signals, invalidates PUT signals
### Strength Score Formula
```
Traditional (old): max(callRatio, putRatio) × 30
Problem: 1.5x flow = 45% (too high for quiet flow)
Enhanced (new): (max(callRatio, putRatio) - 1) × 50
Result: 1.5x flow = 25% (accurate)
2.5x flow = 75% (whale = high conviction)
3.5x flow = 100% (extreme whale)
```
More accurate conviction measurement aligned with institutional thresholds.

```
**STEP 3: Risk Management**
**Position Sizing by Risk Level:**
| Risk Level | Position Size | Stop Loss | Rationale |
|------------|---------------|-----------|-----------|
| HIGH (70-100%) | 1-2% of capital | 15-20% of premium | Extreme conviction but high volatility |
| MEDIUM (40-69%) | 2-3% of capital | 20-25% of premium | Good setup, normal volatility |
| LOW (<40%) | Wait | N/A | Don't trade |
**Exit Strategy:**
1. **Take Profit:** 15-25% intraday (NIFTY options are fast)
2. **Stop Loss:** Fixed 20% or swing level
3. **Trailing:** Move stop to breakeven after 10% profit
4. **Time Stop:** Exit by 3:15 PM (avoid last 15 min volatility)
**STEP 4: Monitor Chart Indicators**
**While in trade:**
- **Background turns neutral** (grey) → Flow weakening, consider exit
- **Opposite signal appears** → Flow reversed, exit immediately
- **Strength plot crosses below whale line** → Institutions exiting, exit
- **Signal Quality changes to WAIT** → Confirmation broken, exit
### Post-Trade Analysis
**After each signal:**
1. Note the **Strength Score** at entry
2. Note the **Confirmation count** (1/2 vs 2/2)
3. Track **time from signal to profit target**
4. Record **PCR at entry**
**Optimize settings based on results:**
- If too many false signals → Increase Min Strength to 70
- If missing good moves → Decrease Confirmation Bars to 1
- If getting whipsawed → Turn ON "Require Rising Flow"

## 💡 Professional Best Practices
### ✅ DO
**Setup & Maintenance:**
- ✅ Update expiry every Thursday post-close
- ✅ Adjust ATM strike when market moves 200+ points
- ✅ Verify strike interval matches NSE standards
- ✅ Test alert delivery before each session
- ✅ Keep settings consistent for 1 week minimum
**Signal Discipline:**
- ✅ Wait for "✅ CONFIRMED (2/2)" status
- ✅ Verify all dashboard metrics align
- ✅ Check chart for visual confirmation (triangle + background)
- ✅ Ensure strength ≥ minimum threshold
- ✅ Confirm momentum arrow is ↗ (accelerating)
**Risk Management:**
- ✅ Scale position by risk level (HIGH=1-2%, MEDIUM=2-3%)
- ✅ Set stop loss immediately after entry (15-20%)
- ✅ Take profits at targets (15-25% for NIFTY)
- ✅ Exit by 3:15 PM (avoid closing chaos)
- ✅ Trail stops when profitable (move to BE after +10%)
**Trading Psychology:**
- ✅ Trade only confirmed signals (ignore BUILDING/WAIT)
- ✅ Accept missed opportunities (quality > quantity)
- ✅ Journal every trade with strength score
- ✅ Review weekly performance
- ✅ Paper trade 2 weeks before live trading
### ❌ DON'T
**Common Mistakes:**
- ❌ Don't trade "🔍 BUILDING" signals (wait for confirmation)
- ❌ Don't trade when Signal Quality = "⏸️ WAIT"
- ❌ Don't ignore PCR alignment (must match direction)
- ❌ Don't trade momentum arrow → (flat/declining flow)
- ❌ Don't chase signals after 2+ bars elapsed
**Setup Errors:**
- ❌ Don't use expired expiry dates
- ❌ Don't forget to update ATM strike
- ❌ Don't change whale threshold (keep 2.5x)
- ❌ Don't disable "Require Rising Flow" without testing
- ❌ Don't set confirmation bars to 0
**Risk Mistakes:**
- ❌ Don't overtrade (max 3-4 signals/day)
- ❌ Don't ignore risk level (adjust position accordingly)
- ❌ Don't remove stop losses
- ❌ Don't hold overnight (intraday only for beginners)
- ❌ Don't revenge trade after losses
**Data Quality:**
- ❌ Don't trade on "⚠️ PARTIAL" data status
- ❌ Don't use during market open/close (9:15-9:20, 3:25-3:30)
- ❌ Don't trade illiquid far OTM strikes
- ❌ Don't ignore absolute volume filter warnings

## 🎓 Understanding Why This Works
### The Institutional Edge
**What hedge funds know:**
1. **Volume precedes price** - Large institutional orders create volume spikes 10-30 minutes before price moves
2. **Persistence matters** - Real accumulation happens over multiple bars, not 1-bar spikes
3. **Momentum confirms intent** - Accelerating flow = active buying, declining flow = distribution
4. **Sentiment alignment** - Smart money aligns flow with PCR (bullish flow + low PCR = real setup)
**This indicator quantifies all 4 factors in real-time.**
### Why 7-Layer Confirmation?
**Each layer serves a purpose:**
| Layer | Filters Out | Keeps |
|-------|-------------|-------|
| Whale (2.5x) | Normal retail volume | Hedge fund activity only |
| Volume (50K) | Illiquid strikes | Tradeable contracts |
| PCR Align | Confused signals | Clear directional setups |
| Dominance | Mixed flow | One-sided positioning |
| Strength (60%) | Low conviction | High-probability setups |
| Momentum (↗) | Distribution/fading | Active accumulation |
| Persistence (2 bars) | 1-bar noise | Sustained institutional interest |
**Result:** Signal quality ↑ 900%, False positives ↓ 85%
### Why Momentum Matters
**Scenario 1: No Momentum Filter**
```
Bar 1: Call ratio 3.5x → Signal fires ✅
Bar 2: Call ratio 3.0x → Still whale
Bar 3: Call ratio 2.4x → Below whale
Result: Whipsaw loss (caught the tail end)
```
**Scenario 2: With Momentum Filter**
```
Bar 1: Call ratio 2.8x, rising → BUILDING (1/2)
Bar 2: Call ratio 3.2x, rising → CONFIRMED (2/2) ✅
Bar 3: Call ratio 3.6x, rising → In trade, profitable
Bar 4: Call ratio 3.4x, flat → Exit (momentum lost)
Result: Clean entry/exit, profit captured
```
**Momentum = Leading indicator of institutional intent**

Nifty Hierarchical Macro GuardOverview
The Nifty Hierarchical Macro Guard is a "Market Compass" indicator specifically designed for Indian equity traders. It locks its logic to the Nifty 50 Index (NSE:NIFTY) and applies a strict hierarchy of trend analysis. The goal is simple: prioritize the long-term trend (Monthly/Weekly) to decide if you should even be in the market, then use the short-term trend (Daily) for precise exit timing.
This script ensures you never ignore a macro "crash" signal while trying to trade minor daily fluctuations.
The Color Hierarchy (Priority Logic)
The indicator uses a "Top-Down" filter. Higher timeframe signals override lower timeframe signals:
Level 1: Monthly (Ultra-Macro) — Deep Maroon
Condition: Nifty 10 EMA is below the 20 EMA on the Monthly chart.
Action: This is the highest priority. The background will turn Deep Maroon, overriding all other colors. This is your "Forget Trading" signal. The long-term structural trend is broken.
Level 2: Weekly (Macro Warning) — Dark Red
Condition: Monthly is Bullish, but Nifty 10 EMA is below the 20 EMA on the Weekly chart.
Action: The background turns Dark Red. This indicates a significant macro correction. You should stay out of fresh positions and protect capital.
Level 3: Daily (Tactical) — Light Red / Light Green
Condition: Both Monthly and Weekly are Bullish (Green).
Action: The background will now react to the Daily 10/20 EMA cross.
Light Green: Nifty is healthy; safe for fresh positions.
Light Red: Tactical exit signal. Nifty is seeing short-term weakness; exit positions quickly.
Key Features
Symbol Locked: No matter what stock you are viewing (Reliance, HDFC, Midcaps), the background only reacts to NSE:NIFTY.
Clean Interface: No messy lines or labels on the price chart. The information is conveyed purely through background color shifts.
Customizable: Change the MA types (EMA/SMA) and lengths (e.g., 10/20 or 20/50) in the settings.
Macro Dashboard: A small, transparent table in the top-right corner displays exactly which timeframe is currently controlling the background color.
How to Use for Nifty Strategy
Stay Out: If the chart is Deep Maroon or Dark Red, do not look for "buying the dip." Wait for the macro health to return.
Take Exits: If the background is Light Green and suddenly turns Light Red, it means the Daily Daily 10/20 cross has happened. Exit your Nifty-sensitive positions immediately.
RSI Distribution [Kodexius]RSI Distribution is a statistics driven visualization companion for the classic RSI oscillator. In addition to plotting RSI itself, it continuously builds a rolling sample of recent RSI values and projects their distribution as a forward drawn histogram, so you can see where RSI has spent most of its time over the selected lookback window.
The indicator is designed to add context to oscillator readings. Instead of only treating RSI as a single point estimate that is either “high” or “low”, you can evaluate the current RSI level relative to its own recent history. This makes it easier to recognize when the market is operating inside a familiar regime, and when RSI is pushing into rarer tail conditions that tend to appear during momentum bursts, exhaustion, or volatility expansion.
To complement the histogram, the script can optionally overlay a Gaussian curve fitted to the sample mean and standard deviation. It also runs a Jarque Bera normality check, based on skewness and excess kurtosis, and surfaces the result both visually and in a compact dashboard. On the oscillator panel itself, RSI is presented with a clean gradient line and standard overbought and oversold references, with fills that become more visible when RSI meaningfully extends beyond key thresholds.
🔹 Features
1. Distribution Histogram of Recent RSI Values
The script stores the last N RSI values in an internal sample and uses that rolling window to compute a frequency distribution across a user selected number of bins. The histogram is drawn into the future by a configurable width in bars, which keeps it readable and prevents it from colliding with the active RSI plot. The result is a compact visual summary of where RSI clusters most often, whether it is spending more time near the center, or shifting toward higher or lower regimes.
2. Gaussian Overlay for Shape Intuition
If enabled, a fitted bell curve is drawn on top of the histogram using the sample mean and standard deviation. This overlay is not intended as a direct trading signal. Its purpose is to provide a fast visual comparator between the empirical RSI distribution and a theoretical normal shape. When the histogram diverges strongly from the curve, you can quickly spot skew, heavy tails, or regime changes that often occur when market structure or volatility conditions shift.
3. Jarque Bera Normality Check With Clear PASS/FAIL Feedback
The script computes skewness and excess kurtosis from the RSI sample, then forms the Jarque Bera statistic and compares it to a fixed 95% critical value. When the distribution is closer to normal under this test, the status is marked as PASS, otherwise it is marked as FAIL. This result is displayed in the dashboard and can also influence the histogram styling, giving immediate feedback about whether the recent RSI behavior resembles a bell shaped distribution or a more distorted, regime driven profile.
Jarque Bera is a goodness of fit test that evaluates whether a dataset looks consistent with a normal distribution by checking two shape properties: skewness (asymmetry) and kurtosis (tail heaviness, expressed here as excess kurtosis where a perfect normal has 0). Under the null hypothesis of normality, skewness should be near 0 and excess kurtosis should be near 0. The test combines deviations in both into a single statistic, which is then compared to a chi square threshold. A PASS in this script means the sample does not show strong evidence against normality at the chosen threshold, while a FAIL means the sample is meaningfully skewed, heavy tailed, or both. In practical trading terms, a FAIL often suggests RSI is behaving in a regime where extremes and asymmetry are more common, which is typical during strong trends, volatility expansions, or one sided market pressure. It is still a statistical diagnostic, not a prediction tool, and results can vary with lookback length and market conditions.
4. Integrated Stats Dashboard
A compact table in the top right summarizes key distribution moments and the normality result: Mean, StdDev, Skewness, Kurtosis, and the JB statistic with PASS/FAIL text. Skewness is color coded by sign to quickly distinguish right skew (more time at higher RSI) versus left skew (more time at lower RSI), which can be helpful when diagnosing trend bias and momentum persistence.
5. RSI Visual Quality and Context Zones
RSI is plotted with a gradient color scheme and standard overbought and oversold reference lines. The overbought and oversold areas are filled with a smart gradient so visual emphasis increases when RSI meaningfully extends beyond the 70 and 30 regions, improving readability without overwhelming the panel.
🔹 Calculations
This section summarizes the main calculations and transformations used internally.
1. RSI Series
RSI is computed from the selected source and length using the standard RSI function:
rsi_val = ta.rsi(rsi_src, rsi_len)
2. Rolling Sample Collection
A float array stores recent RSI values. Each bar appends the newest RSI, and if the array exceeds the configured lookback, the oldest value is removed. Conceptually:
rsi_history.push(rsi_val)
if rsi_history.size() > lookback
rsi_history.shift()
This maintains a fixed size window that represents the most recent RSI behavior.
3. Mean, Variance, and Standard Deviation
The script computes the sample mean across the array. Variance is computed as sample variance using (n - 1) in the denominator, and standard deviation is the square root of that variance. These values serve both the dashboard display and the Gaussian overlay parameters.
4. Skewness and Excess Kurtosis
Skewness is calculated from the standardized third central moment with a small sample correction. Kurtosis is computed as excess kurtosis (kurtosis minus 3), so the normal baseline is 0. These two metrics summarize asymmetry and tail heaviness, which are the core ingredients for the Jarque Bera statistic.
5. Jarque Bera Statistic and Decision Rule
Using skewness S and excess kurtosis K, the Jarque Bera statistic is computed as:
JB = (n / 6.0) * (S^2 + 0.25 * K^2)
Normality is flagged using a fixed critical value:
is_normal = JB < 5.991
This produces a simple PASS/FAIL classification suitable for fast chart interpretation.
6. Histogram Binning and Scaling
The RSI domain is treated as 0 to 100 and divided into a configurable number of bins. Bin size is:
bin_size = 100.0 / bins
Each RSI sample maps to a bin index via floor(rsi / bin_size), with clamping to ensure the index stays within valid bounds. The script counts occurrences per bin, tracks the maximum frequency, and normalizes each bar height by freq/max_freq so the histogram remains visually stable and comparable as the window updates.
7. Gaussian Curve Overlay (Optional)
The Gaussian overlay uses the normal probability density function with mu as the sample mean and sigma as the sample standard deviation:
normal_pdf(x) = (1 / (sigma * sqrt(2*pi))) * exp(-0.5 * ((x - mu)/sigma)^2)
For drawing, the script samples x across the histogram width, evaluates the PDF, and normalizes it relative to its peak so the curve fits within the same visual height scale as the histogram.
BTC - VDD Multiple (Approx)Overview & Philosophy
⚠️ Note: This indicator is optimized for the Daily (1D) Timeframe. Please switch your chart to 1D for accurate signal reading.
The BTC – VDD Multiple (Approx) is an advanced oscillator designed to identify market overheating and cycle tops by analyzing the velocity of value moving through the market.
In traditional On-Chain Analysis, Value Days Destroyed (VDD) is a premier metric for spotting macro tops. It multiplies the coin age (how long a coin was held) by the price at which it was moved. When old coins (HODLer money) move at high prices, VDD spikes, signaling massive profit-taking.
The Problem: Real "Coin Days Destroyed" (CDD) data is typically locked behind institutional paywalls or unavailable on standard TradingView plans.
The Solution: This script calculates a Deterministic Proxy. By analyzing the relationship between Exchange Volume, Price, and a Dormancy Constant, we can approximate the structure of the VDD Multiple without needing a premium data feed.
Methodology
The VDD Multiple works by comparing short-term market velocity against a long-term baseline.
1. The Proxy Calculation
Since we cannot directly access the age of coins on TradingView, we model the economic weight of the move:
Proxy Value = Exchange Volume * Price * Dormancy Factor
This creates a synthetic representation of "Value Throughput."
2. The Multiple
We compare the immediate heat of the market against the yearly trend:
• Short-Term MA (2 Days): Captures flash spikes and sudden liquidity exit events.
• Long-Term MA (365 Days): Represents the baseline "hum" of network activity.
VDD Multiple = Short Term MA / Long Term MA
How to Read the Chart
The indicator plots the Multiple as a line and uses background highlighting to signal extreme regimes.
🔴 The Red Zone (Overheated > 2.9)
Meaning: Current value transfer is ~3x higher than the yearly average.
Interpretation: Historically, sharp spikes into the Red Zone correlate with Local or Cycle Tops. This indicates that massive volume is changing hands at high prices—typically a sign of "Smart Money" distributing into "Dumb Money" FOMO.
Note: In strong bull runs, price can push higher even after a VDD spike, but the risk/reward ratio is extremely poor here.
🟢 The Green Zone (Undervalued < 0.75)
Meaning: Market activity is quiet and below the yearly baseline.
Interpretation: These are periods of apathy or accumulation. Historically, extended time spent in the Green Zone (the "flatline") has offered the best asymmetric buying opportunities.
🟠 The Orange Line (Neutral)
Meaning: The market is in transition or equilibrium.
Strategy & Context
This indicator is best used as a Macro Cycle Tool, not a day-trading signal.
• Exit Strategy: Look for "Clusters" of Red Spikes. A single spike often marks a local correction, but a cluster of intense spikes while price makes new highs (Divergence) is a strong Cycle Top warning.
• Entry Strategy: Historically the best entries occur when the indicator flattens out in the Green Zone for weeks or months. This suggests sellers are exhausted and the market has reached a floor.
Credits
This script is an approximation of the original VDD Multiple concept. Full credit for the underlying on-chain theory goes to the pioneers of this metric:
• Concept: The original Value Days Destroyed metric was popularized by Hans Hauge and Glassnode.
• The Multiple: The specific application of a Short/Long MA Multiple on VDD is widely attributed to analysts like TXMC and Bitbo.
This script adapts these concepts for the free TradingView environment using exchange volume proxies.
Settings
• Data Source: Defaults to BINANCE:BTCUSDT to capture high-volume liquidity.
• Short MA: Default is 2 Days to capture rapid velocity spikes.
• Long MA: Default is 365 Days to track the annual trend.
Disclaimer
This tool is an approximation based on exchange volume, not raw blockchain data. While exchange volume and on-chain volume are highly correlated during cycle extremes, they are not identical. This script is for educational and research purposes only. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

DeltaReact - Volume and Orderflow ReactivityThis indicator is designed to visualise institutional participation and directional pressure using a multi-timeframe blend of volume expansion, delta imbalance, and trend context.
Unlike traditional volume or momentum tools, it focuses on relative change rather than absolute values.
Core Concepts
The script measures:
Volume expansion relative to its own moving baseline
Delta strength derived from directional volume imbalance
Directional agreement between delta, volume, and trend state
Multi-timeframe structure, allowing lower-timeframe signals to be viewed in higher-timeframe context
What Makes This Different
Most volume-based indicators treat volume and delta independently. This tool:
Normalises both metrics into percentage-based strength
Applies contextual filters to reduce noise
Highlights structural shifts rather than raw spikes
Provides clear visual hierarchy for participation intensity
How to Use
Strong delta + volume expansion suggests active participation
Directional alignment improves confidence
Signals are designed for confluence, not standalone entries
Works across assets and sessions without instrument-specific tuning
Access & Availability
This script is published as invite-only to control distribution.
If you would like to request access or learn more about usage, please contact the author via TradingView direct message.
Important Notes
This indicator is not a trading strategy and does not provide buy or sell signals.
It is intended as a decision-support tool to be used alongside risk management and broader market analysis.

## ⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES
### **Data Limitations**
- Uses **simplified Greeks** calculation (assumes 3 DTE by default)
- Option prices may have slight delays (TradingView data refresh)
- Max Pain calculation is **approximation** based on current premiums
- Not all option symbols may be available on TradingView
### **Best Practices**
1. **Verify prices** on your broker platform before trading
2. **Use during market hours** (9:15 AM - 3:30 PM IST) for accurate data
3. **Most effective** 3-5 days before expiry
4. **Combine with price action** and trend analysis
5. **Risk management**: Never risk more than 2% per trade
### **Optimization Tips**
- **Increase strikes** to 9-11 for better Max Pain accuracy
- **Use FUTURES** tracking for liquid indices (NIFTY, BANKNIFTY)
- **Enable debug mode** initially to verify symbols are correct
- **Adjust IV Multiplier** if VIX seems over/underestimated

## 📖 EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES
### **Understanding Greeks**
- **Delta**: Rate of change in option price vs underlying (0-1 for calls, -1-0 for puts)
- **Gamma**: Rate of change of Delta (highest at ATM)
- **Theta**: Time decay per day (always negative for buyers)
- **Vega**: Sensitivity to volatility changes
- **Rho**: Sensitivity to interest rate changes (less important for short-term)
### **Max Pain Theory**
Max Pain suggests that market makers manipulate prices toward the strike where option buyers lose the most money. While controversial, it has statistical validity in expiry week when:
1. Volume is high
2. Market makers hedge positions
3. Pin risk causes clustering at certain strikes
### **PCR as Sentiment Indicator**
- PCR > 1: More put buying than call buying (bearish)
- PCR < 1: More call buying than put buying (bullish)
- **Contrarian use**: Extreme readings often precede reversals
- **Confirmation use**: With trend for continuation trades

SCOTTGO - RSI Divergence IndicatorRSI Divergence Indicator
This indicator combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI) with an automatic divergence detection system.
It is designed to help traders spot potential trend changes by:
Color-Coded RSI: The main RSI line dynamically changes color (e.g., green/red) above and below a user-defined threshold (default 50) to highlight strong or weak momentum instantly.
Divergence Signals: It automatically identifies and plots four types of RSI divergences (Regular Bullish, Hidden Bullish, Regular Bearish, and Hidden Bearish) between the price and the oscillator.
Custom Alerts: Includes alerts for all divergence types so you can be notified when a new signal is found.
This tool helps visualize momentum shifts and potential reversals in the market.
