Institutional Confluence Nexus [Pro]The Problem: Noise vs. Signal
In the world of Smart Money Concepts (SMC), traders are often overwhelmed by "chart clutter." Standard indicators blindly highlight every Fair Value Gap (FVG) and Order Block (OB), regardless of whether the market is trending, ranging, or dead. This leads to analysis paralysis and low-probability entries.
The Institutional Confluence Nexus was built to solve this. It is not just a structure detector; it is a filtering engine. It uses a multi-factor model to hide low-probability zones and only highlight setups where Structure, Volume, and Momentum align.
The "Quantum" Integration
This script includes a built-in Quantum Regression Oscillator (QRO) engine running in the background. Unlike standard RSI or MACD which are reactive (lagging), the QRO uses Linear Regression mathematics to project momentum trajectory.
By combining institutional structure (Price Action) with quantum momentum (Math), this tool generates specific high-probability signals that only appear when price action and momentum are in perfect agreement.
How It Works & Visual Guide
This indicator is a complete trading suite. Here is what every symbol and color on your chart represents:
1. The "Nexus" Reversal Signals (Triangles)
Symbol : Green Triangle (Up) / Red Triangle (Down) labeled NEXUS.
Logic : These appear when price taps a valid Order Block that aligns with the macro trend (200 EMA).
Meaning : These are your primary "Trend Join" setups. They indicate that the institutional trend is resuming after a retracement.
2. High-Volume Breakouts (Bar Colors)
Symbol : Yellow Candles (Bullish) / Orange Candles (Bearish).
Logic : The script detects when a Break of Structure (BOS) occurs with Above-Average Volume.
Meaning : A breakout without volume is often a fakeout. These colored bars confirm that institutions are fueling the move. If you see a Yellow bar, it means "Smart Money" is buying the breakout.
3. QRO Confluence Signals (Labels)
These are the most advanced signals in the suite, combining Price Action with the internal Oscillator:
SNIPER (Blue/Purple) : The strongest reversal signal.
Condition : Price taps a Fair Value Gap + The internal QRO is at extreme volatility bands (Oversold/Overbought).
PB BUY / PB SELL (Aqua/Orange) : A trend continuation signal.
Condition : Price pulls back into a Fair Value Gap + The internal QRO confirms momentum is still healthy (above/below midline).
Note : These signals automatically draw a Red Line at the invalidation point (Stop Loss) to help you manage risk immediately.
4. The Confluence Dashboard
A non-intrusive Heads-Up Display (HUD) in the corner gives you a snapshot of the market state:
Trend : Is price above/below the 200 EMA?
Volume : Is current volume anomalous (High) or normal?
Structure : Are we breaking up, down, or ranging?
Settings & Customization
Smart Money Structure: Toggle FVGs and Order Blocks on/off.
FVG Extend: Control how far the gap "zones" extend to the right to see them as support/resistance zones.
Volume Filter: Enable/Disable the volume requirement (Keep enabled for higher strike rate).
Risk Management: Adjust the "Lookback" period for the automatic Stop Loss lines.
For Developers (Open Source)
I have kept the code open-source to foster learning in the Pine Script community. You can study how:
ta.linreg is used to smooth RSI data for the internal QRO engine.
box.new and line.new are used for dynamic drawing and extending zones.
var variables are used to store historical FVG levels to detect precise crossovers.

Combined Indicators V2 by DeepsageCombined Indicators V2 – Overview
Combined Indicators V2 is an advanced trading indicator that builds on Combined Indicators V1 by Deepsage and Weighted Market Screener by Deepsage. It is designed to provide precise signals for long and short trades on very low timeframes (1m–5m) while aligning entries with the overall market trend.
Background: The Original Indicators
1. Combined Indicators V1 (Deepsage)
Combines three specialized indicators to generate signals:
Breakout Indicator: Uses Bollinger Bands and volume behavior to identify potential breakout trades.
Price Action Indicator: Detects price interaction with support and resistance levels, incorporating trend, volatility, and candlestick patterns.
Range Trading Indicator: Calculates RSI or Stochastic oscillator and plots signals against predefined upper and lower bands for range-bound markets.
2. Weighted Market Screener (Deepsage)
Monitors the overall market trend using 12 different indicators, each weighted based on its relevance.
Produces a market trend rating: strong buy, buy, neutral, sell, or strong sell.
What’s New in V2
1. Trend-Aligned Entries
In V2, the entry indicators (Breakout, Price Action, Range Trading) only generate signals when the Market Screener confirms the trend (can be turned off).
Long trades: Screener must rate the market as Buy or Strong Buy.
Short trades: Screener must rate the market as Sell or Strong Sell.
2. Session-Based Optimization
V2 supports the NY, London, and Tokyo trading sessions.
Each indicator can be restricted to the session where it performs best (can be turned off):
NY: Breakout Indicator
London: Price Action Indicator
Asia: Range Trading Indicator
3. Additional Enhancements
Market Screener locked to 15-minute timeframe, giving a clear view of the overall trend while entries are still executed on 1-minute charts.
Fully customizable alerts for buy and sell signals.
Settings allow traders to toggle indicators and alerts on/off for maximum flexibility.
Summary
Combined Indicators V2 is a powerful, session-aware, trend-aligned trading tool that merges multiple strategies into one cohesive system. It allows traders to:
Trade low timeframes with precise entries
Only take trades that align with the overall market trend
Optimize strategies based on trading sessions
Customize alerts and indicator settings for personal preferences
SIV Trading LightSmartInVisions Trading Light (SIV Trading Light)
**Multi-Factor Market Regime & Trade Bias Indicator**
---
## Overview and Purpose
**SmartInVisions Trading Light (SIV Trading Light)** is a market **context and trade-bias indicator**, not a signal generator.
Its purpose is to answer one practical trading question:
> *“Given the current market conditions, is it statistically more favorable to think LONG, SHORT, or stay neutral?”*
Instead of relying on a single indicator, SIV Trading Light **combines several independent market dimensions into one coherent score**.
This allows traders to avoid over-trading in unfavorable environments and to align trades with the dominant market context.
---
## Why This Is NOT a Simple Indicator Mashup
This script does **not** simply merge popular indicators.
Each component is:
* normalized,
* weighted,
* evaluated against thresholds,
* and translated into **positive, neutral, or negative score contributions**.
Only the **combined interaction** of these components produces the final trade bias.
No single indicator can dominate the result on its own.
---
## Core Calculation Concept
At every bar, the indicator evaluates multiple independent factors.
Each factor contributes points to a **total bias score**.
The score is then classified into one of three states:
* **LONG bias**
* **NEUTRAL**
* **SHORT bias**
The indicator does **not** predict price direction.
It classifies the **current trading environment**.
---
## Components and How They Work Together
### 1. Trend Structure (Moving Averages)
**Purpose:** Identify the dominant directional structure.
* Fast MA vs Slow MA relationship
* Price position relative to the slow MA
* Optional slope confirmation
Contribution:
* Positive points in aligned uptrends
* Negative points in aligned downtrends
* Neutral in mixed or unclear structures
---
### 2. Momentum (RSI)
**Purpose:** Measure directional strength.
* RSI above upper threshold → bullish momentum
* RSI below lower threshold → bearish momentum
* Mid-range RSI → neutral
Momentum refines trend signals by confirming or weakening them.
---
### 3. Trend Quality / Choppiness (ADX)
**Purpose:** Filter out sideways or noisy markets.
* ADX above threshold → trending environment
* ADX below threshold → choppy environment
ADX does **not** define direction.
It modifies how much weight trend and momentum signals receive.
---
### 4. Volatility Risk (ATR%)
**Purpose:** Penalize structurally dangerous environments.
ATR is normalized as a percentage of price:
* Excessively high volatility → risk penalty
* Extremely low volatility → participation penalty
* Balanced volatility → neutral or positive contribution
This prevents aggressive trading in unstable regimes.
---
### 5. Market Participation (Relative Volume)
**Purpose:** Confirm whether moves are supported by volume.
* High relative volume → confirmation
* Low volume → weaker confidence
Volume acts as a confidence modifier, not as a directional signal.
---
### 6. Higher-Timeframe Market Regime (Optional)
**Purpose:** Align trades with the dominant higher-timeframe context.
On a user-defined **regime timeframe**, the script evaluates:
* trend structure
* RSI momentum
The regime filter can:
* amplify signals aligned with the higher timeframe
* suppress signals against it
This avoids trading aggressively against dominant market structure.
---
## Multi-Timeframe Design
The indicator separates two concepts:
* **Trading Timeframe**: the chart timeframe used for execution
* **Regime Timeframe**: a higher timeframe used for contextual bias
This design allows the same logic to be applied to:
* day trading
* swing trading
* longer-term investing
---
## Presets and Customization
Built-in presets are provided for:
* Day Trading (USA / Europe)
* Swing Trading (USA / Europe)
* Investing (USA / Europe)
Presets define:
* factor weights
* thresholds
* score boundaries
They do **not** define:
* timeframes
* moving average types or lengths
This keeps structural decisions under user control while simplifying parameter tuning.
A **Custom mode** allows full manual configuration.
---
## Visual Output
The indicator provides:
* two moving average overlays (fast / slow)
* an optional background color reflecting the current bias
* a compact badge summarizing mode, score, and state
* an optional breakdown table showing how each factor contributes to the score
These visuals are designed to explain **why** the current bias exists.
---
## Alerts
Alerts are based on **state changes**, not on every bar.
Alert outputs include:
* numerical state (`1 = LONG, 0 = NEUTRAL, -1 = SHORT`)
* score value
* rounded moving average values
This allows integration into discretionary or systematic workflows without alert noise.
---
## How This Indicator Should Be Used
✔ As a **trade filter**
✔ To avoid trading in unfavorable conditions
✔ To align discretionary entries with market context
---
## What This Indicator Is NOT
✘ Not a buy/sell signal
✘ Not a prediction model
✘ Not a replacement for risk management

Squeeze Indicator Squeeze Indicator is a volatility-focused indicator designed to identify periods of compression and the early transition into expansion.
It measures Bollinger Band Width (BBW) using a 20-period Bollinger Band to quantify how tightly price is coiling, then smooths BBW with a 16-period SMA and a faster 8-period EMA to distinguish structural compression from short-term changes in volatility.
The BBW itself is displayed as a subtle grey filled area to emphasize relative contraction and expansion, while a squeeze condition is highlighted whenever BBW falls below both its SMA and EMA, signaling an environment where volatility is suppressed and a directional move is more likely to follow.
Crossovers of the EMA above or below the SMA provide early warnings of volatility expansion or renewed compression, making the indicator especially useful for timing breakouts, anticipating regime shifts from range to trend, and managing options strategies that depend on changes in volatility rather than price direction.
Session VWAP Cumulative BiasThe Session VWAP Cumulative Bias indicator is designed to differentiate between "choppy" price action and true "institutional" trend days. Unlike standard VWAP indicators that only show where price is now, this tool tracks the cumulative sentiment of the entire session.
Core Functions:
Cumulative Z-Score Logic: It calculates the distance between price and VWAP (in Standard Deviations) and sums it up over the course of the day. This reveals the "weight" of the market bias—the longer price stays pinned away from the VWAP, the more extreme the histogram becomes.
Scale Protection: It includes a "Capping" mechanism that prevents morning gaps or low-volume outliers from distorting the scale, ensuring the histogram remains readable from open to close.
Momentum vs. Regime Toggles: Users can switch between VWAP Slope (measuring the speed of the average's movement) and Cumulative Bias (measuring total session dominance).
Visual price Overlay: It automatically colors the price candles and plots a session-anchored VWAP line on the main chart, providing a clear visual of when price is "fair" versus "overextended."
How to read it:
Trend Confirmation: A steadily growing "mountain" in the histogram confirms an institutional trend day where dips are being bought (or rips sold).
Mean Reversion: When price hits a new high but the Cumulative Histogram begins to round off or diverge, it signals that the "elastic band" is stretched and price is likely to return to the orange VWAP line.
Regime Shifts: A cross of the zero-line on the histogram indicates a total shift in session control from buyers to sellers (or vice versa).
Absorption Pro V4This indicator detects absorption-style reversal setups and scores them with a multi-factor model.
It builds key levels from ZigZag/Fibonacci and round numbers across multiple timeframes, then flags potential absorption candles using volume and a delta-proxy filter plus strict candle-structure rules. Signals are validated with trend context (MA/SMMA/EMA/ATR), VWAP positioning, and optional momentum/volatility filters (RSI, Stoch, CCI, MACD, ADX, Volume Profile). Only score-threshold crosses can trigger long/short markers and alerts (defaults tuned for NQ).
Volume Variance SuppressionVolume Variance Suppression Indicator
This indicator measures the variance of traded volume over a rolling window to detect periods of participation compression.
When volume variance falls below a defined threshold, it signals:
Reduced initiative order flow
Dominance of passive liquidity
Market balance / consolidation rather than trend
These suppression phases often precede volatility expansion, failed auctions, or impulsive moves, as liquidity builds and positioning becomes crowded.
The indicator is not directional and should be used as a market state filter, not a standalone signal. It helps distinguish balance vs expansion regimes and improves trade selection by aligning strategies with the current microstructural environment.
Institutional Volatility Expansion & Liquidity Thresholds (IVEL)Overview
The IVEL Engine is an institutional-grade volatility modeling tool designed to identify the mathematical boundaries of price delivery. Unlike retail oscillators that use fixed scales, this script utilizes dynamic ATR-based multiples to map Institutional Premium and Discount zones in real-time.
How to Use
To maximize the effectiveness of the IVEL Engine, traders should focus on Price Delivery at the extreme thresholds:
Identifying Institutional Premium (Short Setup) : When price expands into the Upper Red Zone, it has reached a mathematical exhaustion point. Seek short-side entries when price shows signs of rejection from this level back toward the Fair Value Baseline.
Identifying Institutional Discount (Long Setup) : When price reaches the Lower Green Zone, it is considered "cheap" by institutional algorithms. Look for long-side absorption or accumulation patterns within this zone.
Mean Reversion Targets: The Fair Value Baseline (Center Line) acts as the primary magnetic target. Successful trades taken at the outer thresholds should use the baseline as the first objective for profit-taking.
Alerts & Execution Strategy
The IVEL Engine is designed for automated monitoring so you don't have to watch the screen 24/7. To set up your execution workflow:
Set the Alert : Right-click the indicator and select "Add Alert." Set the condition to "Price Crossing Institutional Premium" (Upper Red) or "Price Crossing Institutional Discount" (Lower Green).
Wait for the Hit : Do not market-enter as soon as the alert fires. The alert tells you price has entered a High-Probability Liquidity Zone.
Confirm the Rejection : Once alerted, drop down to a lower timeframe (e.g., 5m or 15m) and look for a "Shift in Market Structure" or an SMT Divergence.
Execute : Enter once the rejection is confirmed, targeting the Fair Value Baseline as your primary TP1.
Methodology
The script anchors to an EMA-based baseline and projects expansion bands that adapt to current market conditions.
Value Area : The blue inner region where the majority of trading volume occurs.
Liquidity Exhaustion : The red and green outer regions where the probability of "Smart Money" reversal is highest.
Session Liquidity Sweep + Trend ConfirmationThis strategy aims to capture high-probability intraday trades by combining liquidity sweeps with a trend confirmation filter. It is designed for traders who want a systematic approach to trade breakouts during specific market sessions while controlling risk with ATR-based stops.
How it Works:
Session Filter: Trades are only considered during a defined session (default 9:30 - 11:00). This helps avoid low-volume periods that can lead to false signals.
Trend Confirmation: The strategy uses a 50-period EMA to identify the market trend. Long trades are only taken in an uptrend, and short trades in a downtrend.
Liquidity Sweep Detection:
A long entry occurs when price dips below the prior N-bar low but closes back above it, indicating a potential liquidity sweep that stops being triggered before the trend continues upward.
A short entry occurs when price spikes above the prior N-bar high but closes below it, signaling a potential sweep of stops before the downward trend resumes.
ATR-Based Risk Management:
Stop loss is calculated using the Average True Range (ATR) multiplied by a configurable factor (default 1.5).
Take profit is set based on a risk-reward ratio (default 2.5x).
Position Sizing: Default position size is 5% of equity per trade, making it suitable for risk-conscious trading.
Inputs:
Session Start/End (HHMM)
Liquidity Lookback Period (number of bars to define prior high/low)
ATR Length for stop calculation
ATR Stop Multiplier
Risk-Reward Ratio
EMA Trend Filter Length
Visuals:
Prior Liquidity High (red)
Prior Liquidity Low (green)
EMA Trend (blue)
Why Use This Strategy:
Captures stop-hunt moves often triggered by larger market participants.
Only trades with trend confirmation, reducing false signals.
Provides automatic ATR-based stop loss and take profit for consistent risk management.
Easy to adjust session time, ATR, EMA length, and risk-reward to suit your trading style.
Important Notes:
Assumes 0.05% commission and 1-pip slippage. Adjust according to your broker.
Not financial advice; intended for educational, backtesting, or paper trading purposes.
Always test strategies thoroughly before applying to live accounts.
Trailing Stoploss % BasedA minimalistic trend-following indicator that plots a single trailing line based on a user-defined percentage using price highs and lows.
The line:
Trails price in trends
Moves only in the direction of the trend
Flattens when price is not making new highs or lows
Acts as support in uptrends and resistance in downtrends
Useful on all instruments and all timeframes for clean trend tracking and trailing stop management.
BNF (Kotegawa) Strategy [CB Algos]STRATEGY: BNF (Kotegawa) Mean Reversion Strategy
DEVELOPED BY: CB Algos
DESCRIPTION:
This indicator replicates the trading style of Takashi Kotegawa (BNF).
It calculates the percentage deviation of the price from the 25-period SMA.
HOW TO USE:
1. Look for 'Lime' bars (Extreme Buy) or 'Teal' bars (Moderate Buy). These indicate the price has dropped significantly below the average.
2. Look for 'Red' bars (Extreme Sell) as profit-taking zones.
3. Use the Info Panel to see the exact current deviation %.
STAX# STAX - MapleStax Candle by Candle Automation
## Overview
STAX is a trend-following indicator that automates the "MapleStax Candle by Candle (CBC)" methodology for futures and equity trading. This system uses a higher timeframe anchor trend combined with lower timeframe execution filters to identify high-probability pullback entries in the direction of the prevailing trend.
## How It Works
### 1. Anchor Trend Detection (10-Minute CBC Flip)
The core of this system is the CBC (Candle by Candle) flip logic on the anchor timeframe (default: 10 minutes):
- **Bullish Flip**: Occurs when a 10m candle closes ABOVE the high of the previous 10m candle
- **Bearish Flip**: Occurs when a 10m candle closes BELOW the low of the previous 10m candle
- Once a flip occurs, the trend remains in that direction until an opposite flip happens
The anchor trend is calculated using `request.security()` with `lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off` and indexed historical data ` ` to ensure non-repainting behavior. This means signals will not change or disappear after they appear.
### 2. Execution Filters (Current Timeframe)
On your current chart timeframe (recommended: 3 minutes), the indicator applies two key filters:
**EMA Confirmation**:
- For LONG signals: 9-period EMA must be greater than 20-period EMA
- For SHORT signals: 9-period EMA must be less than 20-period EMA
**VWAP Filter** (Strict or Target mode):
- **Strict Mode** (default): Only shows signals when price is on the correct side of VWAP
- LONG signals only above VWAP
- SHORT signals only below VWAP
- **Target Mode**: Shows all valid signals but uses VWAP as the take profit target when price is on the "wrong" side
### 3. Entry Signal Logic
The indicator looks for pullback entries:
- **BUY Signal**: 10m trend is Bullish + EMA 9 > 20 + Current 3m candle is RED (close < open)
- Logic: Wait for a red pullback candle in a bullish trend with bullish EMA alignment
- **SELL Signal**: 10m trend is Bearish + EMA 9 < 20 + Current 3m candle is GREEN (close > open)
- Logic: Wait for a green retracement candle in a bearish trend with bearish EMA alignment
This pullback logic helps you enter after a brief counter-trend move, improving risk/reward compared to chasing breakouts.
### 4. Risk Management
**Stop Loss**: Automatically set at the previous 10-minute candle's low (for longs) or high (for shorts). This represents the last swing point that would invalidate the trend structure.
**Take Profit**:
- When aligned with VWAP: Fixed tick-based target (default: 20 ticks, adjustable)
- When counter to VWAP: Target is VWAP itself, providing a logical profit target
The indicator displays TP and SL levels visually and alerts when they are hit.
### 5. Signal Management
To prevent over-trading, the indicator includes a **cooldown period** (default: 10 bars minimum between signals). This stops signal spam in choppy conditions and forces you to wait for the market to develop before taking another trade.
### 6. Time Session Filters
Two separate trading sessions can be configured with 12-hour clock inputs:
- **Session 1**: Default 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM (New York regular hours)
- **Session 2**: Optional second session for extended hours or different time zones
Signals only appear during enabled sessions, helping you trade during liquid market hours.
## What Makes This Original
This indicator automates a specific methodology (MapleStax CBC) that combines multiple proven concepts:
1. Higher timeframe trend structure (CBC flip logic)
2. Lower timeframe execution timing (EMA filters)
3. Pullback entry strategy (counter-colored candles)
4. Volume-based target selection (VWAP integration)
5. Swing-based stop placement (previous anchor swing points)
The combination of these elements into an automated system with visual feedback and alert functionality is what provides value beyond using these indicators separately.
## How to Use
1. **Choose Your Timeframes**:
- Anchor timeframe: 10 minutes (adjustable) for trend direction
- Execution timeframe: 3-5 minutes recommended for entries
2. **Select VWAP Mode**:
- **Strict Mode**: More conservative, only trades with VWAP bias
- **Target Mode**: More aggressive, uses VWAP as profit target
3. **Configure Sessions**: Enable Session 1 and optionally Session 2 to match your trading hours
4. **Set Risk Parameters**: Adjust take profit ticks based on your instrument and risk tolerance
5. **Watch for Signals**:
- Green "BUY" label below bars = Long entry
- Red "SELL" label above bars = Short entry
- Dashed red line = Stop loss level
- Green "TP ✓" or Red "SL ✗" labels show exit points
6. **Monitor the Status Table**: The table in the top-right shows:
- Current 10m trend direction
- EMA alignment status
- VWAP position
- Active session status
- Current signal state
- Active trade information
7. **Set Alerts**: Use TradingView's alert system with the built-in alert conditions:
- BUY Signal
- SELL Signal
- Take Profit Hit
- Stop Loss Hit
## Best Practices
- **Recommended Timeframes**: 3m execution chart with 10m anchor works well for active trading
- **Instrument Selection**: Works best on liquid futures contracts (ES, NQ, CL, etc.) and major forex pairs
- **Session Trading**: Enable Session 1 for New York hours; avoid low-volume periods
- **Backtest First**: Always backtest the settings on your specific instrument before live trading
- **Use Realistic Parameters**: Default 20-tick TP is conservative; adjust based on instrument volatility
## Limitations and Warnings
**This indicator does NOT**:
- Guarantee profitable trades (past performance does not indicate future results)
- Account for slippage, commissions, or real-world execution challenges
- Work equally well in all market conditions (performs poorly in low-volume, range-bound markets)
- Replace proper risk management and position sizing
- Provide financial advice
**Repainting**: This indicator is designed to be non-repainting. Signals use indexed historical data from the anchor timeframe, meaning they will not change or disappear after they appear. However, the current bar's status will update in real-time until it closes.
**Market Conditions**: This trend-following pullback system performs best in trending markets with clear directional bias. In choppy, range-bound conditions, expect more false signals despite the cooldown filter.
**Stop Loss Execution**: The stop loss levels shown are theoretical. In fast-moving markets, actual fills may occur at worse prices due to slippage.
## Input Parameters
**Anchor Settings**:
- Anchor Timeframe: Higher timeframe for trend detection (default: 10 minutes)
**EMA Settings**:
- Fast EMA: Short-period EMA for execution bias (default: 9)
- Slow EMA: Long-period EMA for execution bias (default: 20)
**VWAP Settings**:
- Strict VWAP Filter: Toggle between strict filtering and target mode
**Signal Management**:
- Min Bars Between Signals: Cooldown period to prevent spam (default: 10 bars)
**Time Filters**:
- Session 1 & 2: Configure up to two trading sessions with start/end times in 12-hour format
**Risk Management**:
- Take Profit (Ticks): Fixed tick target when aligned with VWAP (default: 20)
**Visual Settings**:
- Show Trend Background: Background color based on 10m trend
- Show Stop Loss Lines: Display SL levels on chart
- Show EMAs: Display 9/20 EMAs on chart
- Show VWAP: Display daily VWAP on chart
## Technical Notes
- Uses Pine Script v5
- Non-repainting implementation via `request.security()` with `lookahead_off` and indexed data
- Suitable for alerts and automated trading integration
- Maximum 50 labels and 50 lines to maintain performance
- Status table updates on each bar close

ATR Stop LinesATR Stop Lines
Plots dynamic stop-loss levels on the price chart based on ATR (Average True Range). Optionally adjusts stop distance based on volatility regime.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 WHAT IT DOES
Green line — Long stop (Close − ATR × multiplier)
Red line — Short stop (Close + ATR × multiplier)
Lines move with price and volatility. When regime-adjust is enabled, stop distance widens in high volatility and tightens in low volatility.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📐 REGIME-ADJUSTED MULTIPLIERS
When enabled, the multiplier auto-adjusts based on the ATR percentile:
LOW (< 25th pctl) — 1.0× ATR — Tight stops, small moves expected
NORMAL (25–50th pctl) — 1.5× ATR — Standard distance
HIGH (50–75th pctl) — 2.0× ATR — Wider to avoid noise
EXTREME (> 75th pctl) — 2.5× ATR — Widest, or skip the trade
Disable regime-adjust to use a fixed multiplier for all conditions.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📈 HOW TO USE
Entry: Note stop line level when entering a trade. Set stop-loss at or beyond that level.
Trailing: Move stop to new line level as price advances in your favor.
Sizing: Wider stop = smaller position to maintain constant risk.
Example:
BTC Daily, ATR = \$2,000, Regime = HIGH (2.0×)
Entry: \$50,000 → Long stop: \$46,000 / Short stop: \$54,000
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Reversal Detection v3.0 - Real-Time Pro (Non-Repainting)═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
REVERSAL DETECTION PRO v3.0 - NON-REPAINTING
Adaptive Zigzag Reversal Detection for Scalpers & Day Traders
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
CHART EXAMPLE
The indicator is shown running on MNQ1! (Micro E-mini Nasdaq-100
futures) on a 2-minute chart. The indicator works on all symbols
and timeframes, but is optimized for futures scalping on 1-5
minute charts.
WHY I BUILT THIS
Most reversal indicators out there repaint like crazy, flipping
signals after the fact and making you second-guess every trade.
Plus they're too noisy in choppy markets or way too laggy in
trends, so I kept missing entries or getting faked out. I wanted
something solid that sticks to its guns without repainting and
adapts to volatility without me tweaking it every 5 minutes.
This indicator solves those problems by using an adaptive zigzag
algorithm that adjusts to market volatility automatically. Once a
reversal signal appears, it's locked in place - no repainting, no
disappearing signals. The ATR-based sensitivity system means it
works across different market conditions without constant adjustment.
WHAT YOU'LL SEE ON YOUR CHART
When you add this indicator, here's what shows up:
- GREEN LABELS with "REVERSAL" and price level = Bullish reversal
confirmed at swing low
- RED LABELS with "REVERSAL" and price level = Bearish reversal
confirmed at swing high
- HORIZONTAL LINES extending from each reversal = Reference for
stops and targets
- PREVIEW LABELS (lighter colors) = Potential reversals forming in
real-time (optional)
- CANDLE COLORS: Green for bullish trends, red for bearish, purple
for neutral
- PURPLE BOXES = Supply/demand zones marking reversal areas
- INFO TABLE (top corner) = Shows sensitivity, current ATR,
threshold, and trend status
The indicator uses three EMAs (9/14/21 periods) to determine trend
direction, which drives the candle coloring system. This helps you
see whether you're in a bullish, bearish, or choppy market at a
glance.
HOW IT WORKS
The core reversal detection uses a zigzag calculation that tracks
price swings and identifies reversals when price moves by a
dynamically calculated threshold. The reversal amount is determined
by taking the maximum of three values:
1. Percentage-based threshold (adjusts to instrument price level)
2. Absolute price movement threshold (minimum move required)
3. ATR-based threshold (adapts to current volatility)
This multi-factor approach ensures the indicator works consistently
across different assets and market conditions. The non-repainting
mechanism uses confirmed bar data - once a pivot is detected at a
swing high or low, the label and horizontal line are permanently
locked at that exact wick price.
Five sensitivity presets automatically adjust the ATR multiplier:
- Very High (0.8x ATR) = More signals, captures small moves
- High (1.2x ATR) = Active trading
- Medium (2.0x ATR) = Balanced (default)
- Low (2.8x ATR) = Filters noise
- Very Low (3.5x ATR) = Only major reversals
Advanced users can select "Custom" to manually tune ATR multiplier,
percentage threshold, and calculation method.
HOW I USE IT
I mainly trade /MNQ futures on 1-5 minute charts for scalping -
that's my bread and butter. The indicator works decent on other
stuff like stocks or forex too, but I dial sensitivity up for
faster scalps during volatile sessions.
My typical trade setup:
1. Wait for a confirmed REVERSAL label (green for long, red for
short)
2. Check that it lines up with the EMA trend color (bullish candles
for longs, bearish for shorts)
3. If it's a "strong" signal where the reversal hits during a trend
flip, that's my green light
4. Quick check for nearby supply/demand zones to avoid fighting
them
5. Enter with a tight stop below/above the reversal line
6. Target 1:1 or 2:1 risk/reward, usually out in 5-10 minutes
The horizontal lines from each reversal give me logical stop
placement levels, and the supply/demand zones help identify
potential profit targets or areas to avoid.
SETTINGS & CUSTOMIZATION
Signal Modes:
- Confirmed Only = Most reliable, only shows locked-in signals
(recommended)
- Confirmed + Preview = Shows both confirmed and potential signals
- Preview Only = For testing/development
Sensitivity Presets:
Start with "Medium" and adjust based on your trading style:
- Scalping volatile sessions = "High" or "Very High"
- Day trading = "Medium"
- Swing trading = "Low" or "Very Low"
Display Options:
- Choose candle display type (Solid, Trend, Bars, Volume, None)
- Show/hide supply/demand zones
- Adjust zone box extension length
- Customize info table position and size
- Control maximum lines displayed
Alert System:
- Bullish/Bearish reversal alerts
- EMA trend change alerts
- Strong signal alerts (reversal + trend alignment)
- "Any reversal" catch-all alert
IMPORTANT - READ THIS FIRST
Don't rely on this indicator alone. Always pair it with your own
price action or volume confirmation, because no indicator is
perfect. Avoid cranking sensitivity too high in ranging markets or
you'll get whipped. Test on demo first, and remember it's
non-repainting so signals are final, but preview mode can tease
you into early entries if you're not patient.
Risk management is key - don't size up just because a signal looks
good. This indicator helps identify potential reversals, but YOU
still need to manage your trades, set proper stops, and control
position size based on your account risk tolerance.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
Unlike simple pivot indicators or manual support/resistance drawing:
- Adapts automatically to volatility changes (ATR-based)
- Never repaints - signals lock in place permanently
- Reversal detection works with trend context (EMAs)
- Supply/demand zones mark key structural levels
- One-click sensitivity adjustment via presets
- Works across multiple timeframes and instruments
The zigzag reversal algorithm adapts to volatility using ATR, while
the EMA system provides trend context so you're not trading
reversals blindly against the trend. The supply/demand zones help
identify key levels where price has reversed before. It's built
specifically for active traders who need reliable, non-repainting
signals.
BEST PRACTICES
✅ DO:
- Start with "Medium" sensitivity on demo account
- Wait for confirmed signals before entering
- Use horizontal lines for stop placement
- Check trend context (candle colors) before trading reversals
- Combine with volume analysis or price action
- Test different sensitivity settings for your instrument
❌ DON'T:
- Trade every signal blindly without context
- Use "Very High" sensitivity in choppy/ranging markets
- Ignore the trend direction (candle colors)
- Enter on preview labels (they can disappear)
- Skip proper risk management
- Overtrade just because signals appear
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
- Pine Script Version: v6
- Non-Repainting: Yes (confirmed signals only)
- Uses security(): No (no higher timeframe data)
- Uses non-standard chart types: No (all calculations on real OHLC)
- Alert Compatible: Yes (7 alert types)
- Calculations: Current timeframe only, no lookahead bias
DISCLAIMER
This indicator is for educational purposes only and does not
constitute financial advice. Trading futures, stocks, and forex
involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all
investors. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Always use proper risk management, never risk more than you can

ATR Volatility RegimeATR Volatility Regime
A volatility classification indicator that uses ATR (Average True Range) percentile ranking to identify LOW , NORMAL , HIGH , or EXTREME volatility conditions.
Displayed as a separate pane oscillator (0–100 scale) with colored zones.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💡 WHY THIS INDICATOR?
Most volatility indicators show raw ATR — a number without context. Is ATR = 50 high or low? Depends on the asset and recent history.
This indicator answers: "Is current volatility high or low for THIS asset, right now?"
What it adds over standard ATR:
Percentile context — Compares current ATR to its own history
Regime classification — Actionable labels instead of raw numbers
Visual zones — Instant read without interpretation
Optional MTF — Lock to a fixed timeframe while viewing another
Auto-adapts — Works on any asset without manual threshold tuning
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📐 CORE CONCEPTS
ATR (Average True Range)
Measures volatility in price units — how much an asset typically moves per bar. Directionless (magnitude only, not direction).
Calculation:
True Range = the greatest of:
High − Low (current bar's range)
|High − Previous Close| (gap up captured)
|Low − Previous Close| (gap down captured)
ATR = Moving average of True Range over N bars (default: 14)
Percentile Rank (Pctl)
Answers: "What percentage of historical values is the current value greater than?"
Pctl = 0% → Lowest ATR in lookback period (extreme compression)
Pctl = 50% → Median ATR (typical volatility)
Pctl = 100% → Highest ATR in lookback period (extreme expansion)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 WHAT IT DOES
Classifies current volatility into four regimes:
LOW (< 25th percentile) — Compression, breakout likely brewing
NORMAL (25th–50th percentile) — Typical market conditions
HIGH (50th–75th percentile) — Elevated volatility, use caution
EXTREME (> 75th percentile) — Rare expansion, tighten stops or stay flat
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 DISPLAY COMPONENTS
Oscillator Line (0–100)
ATR percentile rank over time. Color matches regime:
Blue = LOW
Gray = NORMAL
Orange = HIGH
Red = EXTREME
Zone Backgrounds
Colored bands at threshold levels for instant visual reference.
Status Label
VOL — Current regime
ATR — Raw ATR value (for stop sizing)
Pctl — Percentile rank (0–100%)
TF — Active timeframe (chart or fixed)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📈 HOW TO USE
LOW Volatility (Pctl < 25%):
Market compressed — "calm before the storm"
Watch for breakout setups
Pctl = 0% often precedes significant moves
NORMAL Volatility (Pctl 25–50%):
Typical conditions
Standard position sizing and stops
HIGH Volatility (Pctl 50–75%):
Elevated movement — reduce size
Widen stops to avoid noise
EXTREME Volatility (Pctl > 75%):
Rare, intense conditions
Avoid new entries or tighten risk
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚙️ SETTINGS
ATR Settings:
ATR Length (default: 14) — Period for ATR calculation
Percentile Lookback (default: 100) — Bars for percentile ranking
Timeframe:
Use Fixed Timeframe (default: off) — Lock calculation to specific TF
Fixed Timeframe (default: D) — TF to use when fixed mode enabled
Thresholds:
Low Threshold (default: 25)
High Threshold (default: 50)
Extreme Threshold (default: 75)
Display:
Show Zone Background — Toggle colored fills
Show Status Label — Toggle info label
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📋 SUGGESTED LOOKBACK BY ASSET
Crypto — 100 bars (fast regime shifts)
Stocks — 252 bars (one trading year)
Forex — 100–150 bars
Commodities — 150–200 bars (seasonal patterns)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔔 ALERTS
Vol → EXTREME
Vol → HIGH
Vol → LOW
Vol exits HIGH
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💡 PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
Stop-Loss Sizing:
Use raw ATR for stops. Example: Stop = Entry − (1.5 × ATR)
Position Sizing:
Reduce size when percentile is HIGH or EXTREME.
Entry Filtering:
LOW regime = prepare for breakout
EXTREME regime = avoid new entries
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📝 NOTES
Works on any timeframe — adapts to chart or locks to fixed TF
ATR is non-directional — magnitude only
Percentile auto-adapts to each asset's volatility profile
Not a standalone signal — combine with trend/regime filters

REVERSAL DETECTION PRO v3.0 - NON-REPAINTING
Adaptive Zigzag Reversal Detection for Scalpers & Day Traders
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
WHY I BUILT THIS
Most reversal indicators out there repaint like crazy, flipping signals after the fact and making you second-guess every trade. Plus they're too noisy in choppy markets or way too laggy in trends, so I kept missing entries or getting faked out. I wanted something solid that sticks to its guns without repainting and adapts to volatility without me tweaking it every 5 minutes.
This indicator solves those problems by using an adaptive zigzag algorithm that adjusts to market volatility automatically. Once a reversal signal appears, it's locked in place - no repainting, no disappearing signals. The ATR-based sensitivity system means it works across different market conditions without constant adjustment.
WHAT YOU'LL SEE ON YOUR CHART
When you add this indicator, here's what shows up:
- GREEN LABELS with "REVERSAL" and price level = Bullish reversal confirmed at swing low
- RED LABELS with "REVERSAL" and price level = Bearish reversal confirmed at swing high
- HORIZONTAL LINES extending from each reversal = Reference for stops and targets
- PREVIEW LABELS (lighter colors) = Potential reversals forming in real-time (optional)
- CANDLE COLORS: Green for bullish trends, red for bearish, purple for neutral
- PURPLE BOXES = Supply/demand zones marking reversal areas

EEQI [Environment Quality Index] PyraTime The Problem: Why Good Strategies Fail
The number one reason traders lose capital is not a lack of strategy—it is forced execution in poor environments.
Most indicators (RSI, MACD, Stochastic) are continuously active, generating signals even when the market is dead, choppy, or chaotic. A breakout strategy that prints money in a trend will destroy your account in a consolidation range. A mean-reversion system that works in chop will fail during a parabolic expansion.
The Solution: PyraTime EEQI The Execution Environment Quality Index (EEQI) is a "Gatekeeper" layer for your trading. It does not tell you what to buy or sell; it tells you if you should be trading at all.
By aggregating Volatility, Price Structure, and Efficiency into a single composite score, the EEQI answers the most critical question in discretionary trading: "Is the market efficient enough to deploy capital right now?"
How It Works: The 3 Core Engines
The EEQI calculates a raw "Environment Score" (from -2 to +4) by analyzing three distinct dimensions of price action.
1. Volatility Engine (Usability)
The Logic: Measures the "Alive-ness" of the market using ATR Percentiles.
The Filter: It detects "Dead Zones" (where price is too flat to hit targets) and "Chaos Zones" (where volatility is too dangerous).
Smart Feature (Parabolic Override): If price moves significantly (>2x ATR) in a single candle, the engine recognizes this as "High Momentum" rather than chaos, unlocking Green signals during breakouts.
2. Structure Engine (Bar Quality)
The Logic: Analyzes the relationship between candle bodies, wicks, and overlap.
The Filter: It penalizes "Barbed Wire" price action—candles with long wicks and high overlap—which indicate indecision and algo-chop.
The Goal: We want to trade during "Clean Flow," where candle bodies are large and overlap is low.
3. Efficiency Engine (Directional Flow)
The Logic: Compares Net Displacement (start-to-finish distance) vs. Total Distance Traveled.
The Filter: Identifies "Whipsaw" conditions where price moves a lot but goes nowhere.
Smart Feature (Velocity Lock): If price travels a massive distance quickly, the efficiency requirement is relaxed to catch explosive moves that might otherwise look "messy."
The "Smart Gatekeepers"
Even if the Core Engines look good, the EEQI applies three final safety checks before granting a PRIME status.
Regime Persistence (Stability Check): The market must hold a high score for a set number of bars (default: 1) before the signal turns Green. This prevents "fake-outs" where a single anomaly candle tricks you into entering a bad trend.
Volume Validation (Liquidity Check): Price movement without participation is a trap. The EEQI checks Relative Volume (RVOL). If volume is below average (e.g., lunch hour, holidays, or late-night sessions), the score is capped at "Fair" or "Low Vol," preventing execution in thin liquidity.
Macro Context (HTF Filter): You cannot trade against the higher timeframe. The EEQI checks the trend and volatility of the Higher Timeframe (default: Weekly). If the macro view is compressed or dead, the local signal is vetoed.
How to Read the HUD
The Dashboard (Bottom Right) gives you an instant read on the market state.
🟢 PRIME (+4): Execution Optimal. The market is trending, efficient, and backed by volume. This is the "Green Light" for your strategy.
🔵 FAIR (+1 to +3): Tradeable. Conditions are decent, but one factor (e.g., volume or structure) is imperfect. Exercise caution.
⚪ NEUTRAL (0): Indecision. The market is transitioning. Stand aside.
🟡 BUILDING: Wait. The market is good, but hasn't proven itself yet (Persistence Check).
🟠 POOR / LOW VOL: Chop. Price is messy or lacking participation.
🔴 AVOID (-2): Danger Zone. The market is either dead flat or violently chaotic. Do not trade.
Settings & Customization
The indicator comes with calibrated presets for different asset classes:
Crypto: Tolerates higher volatility and requires stronger efficiency confirmation.
Forex: Stricter dead-zone filters to handle ranging sessions.
Indices: Balanced settings for standard equity hours.
Disclaimer
This tool is designed for environment analysis only. It does not provide buy or sell signals, entry prices, or stop-losses. It is intended to be used as a filter to improve the performance of your own discretionary strategies.

## 🔱 **Shiva Zone Indicator — True Consolidation Detection**
The **Shiva Zone Indicator** identifies true consolidation phases in any market using a powerful shrinking-range algorithm. Instead of relying on fixed ranges or ATR compression alone, this model detects **micro-consolidation** by comparing tightening volatility windows, ensuring only **high-quality, compact zones** are plotted.
Most consolidation indicators produce long, extended boxes.
**Shiva Zone does not.**
It only marks consolidation when price tightens *locally*, making it ideal for breakout traders.

* The recent price range is **shrinking** compared to the previous one
* Volatility compresses naturally
* Price stays within a narrow percentage threshold
* Expansion stops the zone (no endless boxes)
This ensures consolidation is identified **precisely where traders need it**, not over hundreds of candles.
When consolidation ends, volatility expansion triggers a zone closure.
Breakouts above or below the box can lead to explosive moves.
---
## ⚡ **Included Alerts**
The indicator includes 4 powerful, actionable alerts:
1. **Shiva Zone Started** – A new consolidation zone is forming
2. **Shiva Zone Ended** – Volatility begins expanding
3. **Bullish Breakout** – Price breaks above the Shiva Zone
4. **Bearish Breakout** – Price breaks below the Shiva Zone
These alerts make it easy to automate breakout entries or monitor compression zones across markets.

## 🧠 **Why It's Called “Shiva Zone”**
In market mythology:
* **Brahma** = Creation of momentum
* **Vishnu** = Sustaining the trend
* **Shiva** = Compression before transformation
The **Shiva Zone** is the phase where the market contracts its energy before a structural shift or breakout.

### **TradingView-Ready**
---
## **Brahma Creation Field (BCF) — SALSA© Edition**
The **Brahma Creation Field (BCF)** Indicator is an *original* SALSA©-based imbalance model designed to identify areas where price rapidly expands with strong intent and leaves behind a “Creation Field.”
This indicator is an entirely proprietary rewrite based on **Vedic + SALSA© Interpretation of Market Birth**, and does **not reuse or copy** any external code. It is not affiliated with or derived from any other indicator.
---
## 🔱 **What Is a Brahma Creation Field (BCF)?**
In SALSA© Market Dynamics:
* **Brahma** = Creation
* **Vishnu** = Continuation
* **Shiva** = Transformation (destruction/reset)
A **BCF** is the *birth moment* of a new price narrative —
a zone created when price displaces strongly enough to leave a gap between the candle and the candle two bars earlier.
This is interpreted as:
* **Bullish BCF** → A strong upward creation event
* **Bearish BCF** → A strong downward creation event
These “Creation Fields” often act as **reaction points, continuation areas, or reversal zones**.
---
