Mean Reversion Oleg📘 Description
This script is an extended and customized version of the original “Mean Reversion V‑F” created by the respected author fullmax.
I adapted the logic for my own trading workflow and added several improvements aimed at stability, automation, and exchange‑safe execution when using webhooks.
🔧 Key Enhancements
Lot precision control (prevents exchange errors when sending webhook orders)
Base order labels for visual clarity
Mini‑table with live position metrics
Dynamic deviation levels (L1–L5)
Static averaging levels (B2–B5)
Trailing take‑profit option
Support for stock mode (fixed units instead of quantity)
Webhook fields for entry and exit signals
🎯 How the Strategy Works
The script calculates a moving average and builds five deviation‑based levels below it.
When price reaches these levels, the strategy opens a base order (B1) and then averages the position using B2–B5 levels.
After entering a position, the strategy manages it using:
a fixed take‑profit target
or an optional trailing take‑profit
plus a visual table showing position size, USD value, open PnL, and equity
All quantities are rounded according to the selected lot precision to ensure compatibility with exchange requirements when using webhook automation.
⚙️ Features Overview
Automated long entries based on deviation levels
Configurable order sizes for each averaging step
Optional stock‑mode (units instead of calculated quantity)
Dynamic and static level visualization
Trailing TP with adjustable distance
Clean UI with optional labels and mini‑table

Key PRO Features (Overview)
⚙️ Feature Description
⚙️ Zone Strength Ranking ||| Each zone is dynamically scored from 1–10 based on its age and the number of retests. Fresher, less-tested zones are considered stronger, helping you prioritize the most potent levels.
⚙️ Real-Time Distance ||| The info label for each active zone shows the exact distance (in pips) from the current price to the zone's edge, allowing for quick assessment of risk and opportunity.
⚙️ Trading Session Tracking ||| Zones are automatically tagged with the trading session in which they were formed (Asian, London, or New York). This provides crucial context, as zones formed in high-volume sessions are often more significant.
⚙️ Automated Retest Markers ||| The indicator automatically tracks how many times a zone has been retested. An “R” marker appears on the chart for each retest, providing a visual history of the zone’s interaction with price.
⚙️ Advanced ATR Filtering ||| Utilize volatility-based filtering to ensure zone quality. You can set the minimum, maximum, and even force a consistent zone height based on the Average True Range (ATR), eliminating zones that are too thin or too wide to be effective.
⚙️ Minimum Zone Distance ||| Prevent chart clutter by setting a minimum number of bars that must pass before a new zone can be drawn. This ensures that only distinct, well-separated levels are identified.
⚙️ Dual Label Controls ||| Independently control the visibility of info labels for Active Zones and Historic Zones. Keep your chart clean by hiding details for old, broken levels while keeping fresh, active zones fully detailed.
⚙️ Built on Pine Script v6 ||| Leveraging the latest and most efficient Pine Script version, the indicator is faster, more reliable, and capable of handling more complex calculations and drawings without lagging.

Detailed Feature Breakdown
Zone Strength Ranking
The strength score is a proprietary calculation that helps traders instantly gauge the potential of a supply or demand zone. It is calculated in real-time based on two primary factors:
1. Age of the Zone: The older a zone gets, the less relevant it may become. The strength score decreases as the number of bars since its creation increases.
2. Number of Retests: The first test of a fresh zone is often the highest probability setup. With each subsequent retest, the zone's strength diminishes as liquidity is absorbed. The score is reduced for every retest.
A high strength score (e.g., 7/10 or higher) indicates a fresh, untested zone that could offer a significant reaction. A low score suggests a zone that is either old or has been tested multiple times and should be approached with caution.
________________________________________
Invalidation & Historic Zones
A zone is considered invalidated or “broken” the moment price closes beyond its outer boundary (or wicks beyond it, depending on your settings). Once a zone is broken, it is re-classified as a Historic Zone and turns gray.
This is critical for understanding market structure. A broken supply zone that becomes a historic level can often transform into a future demand zone (a flip zone), and vice-versa.
________________________________________
Advanced Filtering Explained
The indicator provides three powerful ATR-based filters to control zone quality:
• Max Zone Height (ATR Multiplier): Prevents the indicator from drawing zones that are excessively large and impractical for trading. For example, a setting of 1.0 will ignore any potential zone whose height is greater than 1× the current ATR.
• Min Zone Height (ATR Multiplier): Filters out zones that are too thin or “pancaked,” which often represent noise rather than a true consolidation of orders. A setting of 1.0 will reject any zone smaller than 1× the current ATR.
• Force Zone Height (ATR Multiplier): This unique feature normalizes zone heights. It expands zones that are smaller than the specified ATR value, creating more visually consistent and usable levels. A setting of 1.0 will expand any valid zone to be at least 1× the ATR in height.

LQ plots w/filledLiquidity Indicator
This indicator identifies significant swing highs and swing lows based on user-defined pivot strength and projects them forward as potential liquidity and reaction levels.
When a valid swing forms, the script:
1. Draws a horizontal level at the swing price
a. Optionally extends that level forward in time
b. Visualizes the level as a line and/or price box
c. Tracks the level until price interacts with or fills it
2. When price trades back through a level:
a. The level is marked as filled
b. A clear X marker is drawn at the point of fill
c. The level is optionally removed or hidden based on user settings
3. Useful for:
a. Designed for traders who focus on:
1. Market structure
2. Liquidity targets
Swing-based support and resistance
Identifying where price has already “paid” liquidity
This tool is structure-driven, it highlights where price has reacted and where it has not, letting YOU, the trader decide how to act.
Double Donchian Channel + T3 MA (Dynamic Color)This indicator combines a **Double Donchian Channel** with a **dynamic T3 Moving Average** to provide a clear view of market structure, volatility, and trend direction on a single chart. The **fast Donchian channel** tracks short-term price extremes, making it useful for identifying breakouts, pullbacks, and momentum shifts. The **slow Donchian channel** represents higher-timeframe structure and acts as a dynamic support and resistance zone, helping traders understand the broader trend context and avoid trading against dominant market pressure.
At the center of the system is the **T3 Moving Average**, a highly smoothed moving average designed to reduce noise while remaining responsive to trend changes. The T3 line **changes colour automatically based on its slope**: it turns **green when rising**, signaling bullish momentum, and **red when falling**, signaling bearish momentum. This colour change allows traders to visually identify trend direction and transitions without relying on lagging crossover signals.
When price trades above a rising (green) T3 and remains within or above the slow Donchian channel, market conditions favor continuation trades and long-side bias. Conversely, when price is below a falling (red) T3 and breaking or respecting the lower Donchian boundaries, bearish continuation setups are favored. Overall, this indicator is best suited for **trending and volatility-expanding markets**, and it works especially well when combined with volume-based tools or regime filters to avoid ranging conditions.
BB Upper breakout Short +2% (dr Ziuber)A short position is opened when the price on the 1-hour chart exceeds the Bollinger Bands by more than 2%. The position is closed when the profit reaches 2%.
200 EMA mit versetztem LabelThe 200 EMA Indicator is one of the most widely respected and frequently used technical analysis tools among traders across all markets.
Whether applied to stocks, cryptocurrencies, forex, or indices, the 200-period Exponential Moving Average serves as a
critical benchmark for identifying long-term trends, market direction, and key support and resistance levels. www.skool.com
This indicator is designed to provide traders with a clear, visually intuitive way to understand market structure and
make more informed trading decisions. By focusing on long-term price behavior rather than short-term noise, the 200
EMA helps filter out unnecessary signals and keeps traders aligned with the dominant trend.
What Is the 200 EMA?
The
Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
is a type of moving average that places greater weight on recent price data. This makes it more responsive to current
market conditions compared to a Simple Moving Average (SMA), which treats all historical prices equally.
The 200 EMA calculates the average price over the last 200 periods while emphasizing the most recent candles. Because of this long
lookback period, the 200 EMA is primarily used as a long-term trend indicator rather than a short-term trading signal.
Many professional traders and institutions consider the 200 EMA to be a dividing line between bullish and bearish
market conditions.
Why the 200 EMA Is So Important
The 200 EMA has gained its significance not by coincidence, but through decades of consistent use across financial
markets. Its importance lies in the way market participants collectively react to it.
Key reasons traders rely on the 200 EMA include:
It defines the
overall market trend
It acts as
dynamic support and resistance
It helps filter trades in the direction of higher probability
It provides objective structure in trending and ranging markets
When many traders observe the same level, it often becomes self-fulfilling. As a result, price reactions around the
200 EMA are frequently strong and meaningful.
How the 200 EMA Indicator Works
The indicator plots a single exponential moving average line calculated using 200 periods of price data. Because it
adapts dynamically to price movements, the 200 EMA smoothly follows long-term price direction without reacting
excessively to short-term volatility.
Trend Identification
Price above the 200 EMA
indicates a bullish market environment
Price below the 200 EMA
suggests a bearish market environment
This simple rule alone helps traders avoid counter-trend positions and focus on trades aligned with the broader market
direction.
Dynamic Support and Resistance
One of the most valuable characteristics of the 200 EMA is its role as
dynamic support and resistance.
In uptrends, price often pulls back toward the 200 EMA before continuing higher
In downtrends, price frequently rejects from the 200 EMA before moving lower
Unlike static horizontal levels, the 200 EMA adapts to changing market conditions, making it especially useful in
trending markets.
Trade Filtering and Strategy Alignment
The 200 EMA Indicator is commonly used as a
trade filter
rather than a standalone entry signal. By defining the dominant trend, it allows traders to:
Look for long setups only when price is above the 200 EMA
Look for short setups only when price is below the 200 EMA
Avoid low-probability trades against the prevailing market direction
This approach helps improve consistency and reduces emotional decision-making.
Multi-Timeframe Applicability
The 200 EMA works effectively on all timeframes:
Higher timeframes (Daily, Weekly):
Long-term market bias and macro trend
Medium timeframes (4H, 1H):
Swing trading and trend continuation setups
Lower timeframes (15m, 5m):
Intraday structure and directional filtering
Traders often combine the 200 EMA from higher timeframes with entries on lower timeframes to increase confluence and
confidence.

8 EMA. 21 EMA. VWAP This trio is popular for momentum, scalping, and trend-following on 1m–15m charts (stocks, futures, indices).
1. Trend & Bias Filter
• Overall bullish when: Price > VWAP and 8 EMA > 21 EMA
• Overall bearish when: Price < VWAP and 8 EMA < 21 EMA
VWAP adds volume context — many ignore EMA signals against the VWAP side.
2. Crossover Signals (Primary Entries)
• Bullish crossover: 8 EMA crosses above 21 EMA → potential long (especially if price is already above VWAP)
• Bearish crossover: 8 EMA crosses below 21 EMA → potential short (especially if price is below VWAP)
VWAP confirmation reduces whipsaws: only take longs above VWAP, shorts below it.
3. Pullback / Retest Entries (Higher Probability)
• In an uptrend (price > VWAP, 8 > 21): Wait for dips to the 8 EMA (or sometimes 21 EMA) → buy the bounce.
• In a downtrend: Wait for rallies to the 8 EMA → short the rejection.
VWAP often acts as a magnet or pivot — price gravitating toward it can signal mean-reversion trades.
Cryptocurrency Dual-System Color-Changing Moving AveragesCryptocurrency Dual-System Color-Changing Moving Averages: Advanced Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis
Innovative Core Concept
Our indicator introduces a revolutionary approach to trend analysis by integrating dual moving average systems with intelligent visual feedback mechanisms. Unlike traditional moving average indicators that simply display lines or basic crossovers, our system provides dynamic, multi-dimensional trend intelligence through three key innovations:
Dual Independent Moving Average Systems - Two complete 7-period moving average systems operate simultaneously, offering independent trend confirmation while maintaining visual harmony through unified color coding.
Intelligent Color-Changing Algorithm - Each moving average dynamically changes color based on its individual trend strength, creating a visual heatmap of momentum across different timeframes.
Holistic Market State Visualization - The entire candlestick chart changes color based on overall trend alignment, providing immediate visual confirmation of market regimes.
Comprehensive Functionality and Implementation
What It Does
This indicator performs multi-timeframe trend analysis across 14 moving averages (7 for each system), calculating individual trend strength for each line and determining overall market alignment to provide clear visual signals for different market conditions.
How It Works
Primary Trend Strength Calculation:
For each moving average, the indicator calculates a proprietary trend strength value by analyzing the net directional movement over a user-defined lookback period. This quantifies whether the moving average is consistently rising, falling, or consolidating.
Color Coding Logic:
Blue: Moving average shows strong upward momentum (trend strength exceeds positive threshold)
Orange: Moving average shows strong downward momentum (trend strength falls below negative threshold)
Gray: Moving average shows neutral/consolidating behavior
Market Regime Detection:
The system analyzes the alignment of three key moving averages (short-term, medium-term, and long-term) from the Main MA System to determine the overall market state:
Bullish Alignment: Short-term MA > Medium-term MA > Long-term MA (candlesticks turn blue)
Bearish Alignment: Short-term MA < Medium-term MA < Long-term MA (candlesticks turn orange)
Consolidation: No clear alignment pattern (candlesticks turn white)
Implementation Methodology
Our approach combines several established technical analysis concepts with unique enhancements:
Multiple Timeframe Analysis (MTFA) - We simultaneously analyze 7 different time periods (21, 55, 89, 144, 200, 450, 800) to capture trend dynamics across short, medium, and long time horizons.
Trend Strength Quantification - Instead of relying on simple crossovers, we calculate a proprietary trend strength metric that measures both direction and momentum consistency.
Visual Pattern Recognition Enhancement - By color-coding both the moving averages and the price bars, we leverage human visual processing capabilities to quickly identify market states and potential reversals.
Dual Confirmation System - The two independent moving average systems (Main System and EMA System) provide layered confirmation, reducing false signals and increasing reliability.
Practical Application and Usage Guidelines
Setup and Configuration
Main Moving Average System:
Configure your preferred moving average type (SMA, EMA, WMA, or HMA) and select which of the 7 periods to display. Each period can be individually enabled or disabled based on your analysis needs.
EMA System Configuration:
The secondary EMA system provides additional trend confirmation. Adjust its transparency to visually distinguish it from the Main System while maintaining chart clarity.
Trend Sensitivity Adjustment:
The "Trend Strength Threshold" parameter allows fine-tuning of color change sensitivity. Lower values make the indicator more responsive to minor trends, while higher values require stronger momentum for color changes.
Strategic Trading Applications
1. Trend Identification and Confirmation Strategy
Bullish Confirmation: Look for predominantly blue moving averages across multiple timeframes accompanied by blue candlesticks
Bearish Confirmation: Look for predominantly orange moving averages across multiple timeframes accompanied by orange candlesticks
Trend Weakness Detection: Watch for moving averages changing from blue to gray/orange or from orange to gray/blue
2. Multi-Timeframe Alignment Trading
High-Probability Entries: Enter positions when all three key timeframes (short, medium, long) align in the same direction
Exit Signals: Consider reducing positions when timeframes begin to diverge or when candlestick color changes to white (consolidation)
3. Support and Resistance Identification
Moving averages serve as dynamic support/resistance levels
Color changes at these levels indicate whether support/resistance is strengthening or weakening
4. Market Regime Adaptation
Trend-Following Mode: During blue/orange candlestick periods, employ trend-following strategies
Range-Trading Mode: During white candlestick periods, employ range-bound or mean-reversion strategies
Core Philosophical Framework and Calculation Logic
Underlying Technical Analysis Principles
Our indicator is built upon the principle that trends exist simultaneously across multiple timeframes, and the convergence or divergence of these timeframes provides valuable information about trend strength and potential reversals.
Calculation Methodology
Trend Strength Formula:
For each moving average, we calculate:
Sum of upward movements over the lookback period
Sum of downward movements over the lookback period
Net directional bias as a normalized value between -1 and +1
This approach provides a more nuanced understanding of trend momentum compared to simple directional analysis.
Threshold-Based Classification:
Values above the positive threshold indicate sustainable upward momentum
Values below the negative threshold indicate sustainable downward momentum
Values within the threshold range indicate consolidation or weak trends
Why This Approach Is Effective
Early Warning System: Color changes in individual moving averages often precede overall market regime changes, providing early reversal signals.
Noise Reduction: By requiring alignment across multiple timeframes for candlestick coloring, we filter out false signals common in single-timeframe analysis.
Visual Processing Efficiency: The color-coded system allows rapid interpretation of complex multi-timeframe information, reducing cognitive load during fast market conditions.
Adaptability: Configurable parameters allow adjustment for different market conditions (high volatility vs. low volatility) and trading styles (scalping vs. position trading).
This indicator is particularly valuable for cryptocurrency trading due to the market's characteristic high volatility and strong trend tendencies. By providing clear visual cues about trend strength and alignment across multiple timeframes, it helps traders remain aligned with the dominant market direction while avoiding periods of choppy, directionless price action.
The system's dual-layer confirmation (moving average colors + candlestick colors) creates a robust framework for identifying high-probability trading opportunities while maintaining flexibility to adapt to changing market conditions.
Volatility Momentum Suite | Lyro RSVolatility Momentum Suite is an advanced momentum and volatility-based oscillator designed to deliver a complete view of trend strength, acceleration, and market extremes in a single pane. By combining rate-of-change smoothing, adaptive moving averages, standard deviation bands, and momentum acceleration, the indicator provides clear structural insight into trend continuation, exhaustion, and potential reversals.
Built with multiple display and signal modes, it adapts seamlessly to both trend-following and mean-reversion workflows while maintaining strong visual clarity.
Key Features
Momentum Core (Smoothed RoC)
The foundation of the indicator is a Rate of Change (RoC) calculation applied to a selectable price source. This RoC is smoothed using one of 14+ moving average types, including EMA, HMA, KAMA, FRAMA, JMA, and more, allowing precise control over responsiveness versus smoothness.
Standard Deviation Bands
Dynamic deviation bands are calculated around the smoothed momentum line using rolling standard deviation. Two band layers are plotted:
Inner bands for early expansion signals
Outer bands for extreme conditions
These bands adapt automatically to volatility, highlighting momentum expansions, compressions, and exhaustion zones.
Momentum Acceleration
A dedicated acceleration line measures the momentum of momentum itself. This helps identify:
Early trend ignition
Momentum deceleration before reversals
Continuation strength during expansions
Acceleration smoothing and MA type are fully configurable.
Multi-Mode Signal System
Trend Mode
Colors momentum and price according to position above or below the zero line, emphasizing directional bias and trend continuation.
Heikin Ashi Candles Mode
Applies Heikin Ashi logic directly to the momentum series, filtering noise and revealing smoother trend transitions through candle structure.
Extremes Mode
Detects statistically extreme momentum conditions beyond outer deviation bands. Signals are only confirmed after a Heikin Ashi momentum flip, reducing premature reversal entries.
Histogram Mode
Displays the difference between momentum and its signal line as a histogram, useful for divergence spotting and momentum shifts.
Histogram & Signal Line
An EMA signal line is applied to the smoothed momentum, producing a histogram that visually tracks momentum expansion, contraction, and directional changes with adaptive coloring.
Visual Customization
Choose from multiple predefined color palettes:
Classic
Mystic
Accented
Royal
Or define your own bullish and bearish colors.
Additional visual features include:
Momentum-colored candles
Heikin Ashi momentum candles
Band shading and fills
Optional zero-line reference
Integrated Status Table
A built-in table summarizes the real-time state of:
Trend bias
Heikin Ashi momentum direction
Extreme overbought / oversold conditions
This allows rapid decision-making without needing to interpret every visual element manually.
How It Works
Momentum Calculation
Computes Rate of Change on the selected source and smooths it using the chosen moving average.
Volatility Structure
Builds adaptive deviation bands from rolling standard deviation of the momentum line.
Acceleration Layer
Measures the rate of momentum change to detect early shifts in strength.
Mode-Dependent Logic
Trend mode focuses on directional bias
HA mode smooths momentum structure
Extremes mode filters reversals using volatility and HA confirmation
Histogram mode emphasizes momentum differentials
Signals & Alerts
Automatic alerts trigger on:
Momentum crossing above or below zero
Heikin Ashi momentum flips
Confirmed overbought and oversold extremes
Practical Use
Trend Confirmation: Sustained momentum above zero with expanding bands supports trend continuation.
Reversal Identification: Momentum pushing beyond outer bands followed by HA confirmation often precedes reversals.
Momentum Quality: Acceleration helps distinguish strong breakouts from weakening moves.
Multi-Timeframe Alignment: Use higher timeframes for bias and lower timeframes for precision entries using the same indicator.
Customization
Adjust RoC length and smoothing for sensitivity
Tune band length and multipliers for volatility conditions
Select display and signal modes based on strategy type
Fully customize colors to match your chart environment

Neeson Crypto Cycle - Super Enhanced EditionThe "Neeson Crypto Cycle - Super Enhanced Edition": A Philosophical and Practical Framework for Market Analysis
Originality & Core Philosophy
Most trading indicators focus on a single domain: pure price action, a specific economic theory, or a handful of technical oscillators. The "Neeson Crypto Cycle" breaks this paradigm. Its fundamental originality lies not in inventing one new mathematical formula, but in architecting a multi-dimensional, multi-timeframe convergence framework. It operates on a core philosophical premise: financial markets are Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) influenced by a symphony of concurrent cycles. These cycles range from mathematical and technical ones visible on the chart, to fundamental economic rhythms, down to collective human psychology and even speculative meta-patterns.
The script is built as a "dashboard of dashboards," attempting to quantify and visualize these disparate layers on a single pane. It does not claim predictive certainty but aims to provide a holistic situational awareness, allowing the trader to identify when multiple, unrelated cycles from different domains align (convergence) or conflict (divergence).
What It Does & How It Achieves It
The indicator functions as a comprehensive market-phase and sentiment analysis engine implemented directly on the TradingView chart. It is an overlay indicator that provides visual plots, background coloring, signal labels, and, most notably, extensive multi-table data panels.
Its implementation can be broken down into several operational layers:
1. The Core Technical Cycle Layer:
This is the foundational price-based engine. It simultaneously tracks multiple proprietary cyclical models derived from moving average crossovers with non-standard periods believed to capture crypto-specific rhythms.
CCT Pi Cycle: Uses the interaction between a 150-period EMA / 471-period SMA pair (for "bottom" identification) and a 111-period SMA / (350-period SMA * 2) pair (for "top" identification). It identifies golden/death crosses within these specific pairs.
Atlantean Signals: A variant using similar periods (471, 150, 350, 111) but with different multipliers (e.g., 0.745) and crossover logic to define "Market Bottom," "Bull Market Start," and "Market Top" events.
Bitcoin Cycle: Based on the interaction between a 116-period SMA and a doubled 365-period SMA.
Golden Pi Cycle: Another variant using SMAs of 111, 350, 150, and 471 periods.
These are not just four random moving average systems; they are distinct models targeting different aspects of the purported "Pi-based" and long-term cyclicality in Bitcoin's price history. The script visually plots these lines and labels their crossover events.
2. The Market Phase & Structural Context Layer:
Background Coloring: It dynamically colors the chart background (blue for "Bottom to Top" phase, orange for "Top to Bottom" phase) based on the sequential logic of Atlantean signals, providing immediate visual context for the perceived market regime.
Halving Event Annotations: It marks key historical and projected Bitcoin halving dates with vertical lines and labels, anchoring price action to this fundamental supply schedule.
3. The Quantitative Dashboard Layer (Technical & On-Chain):
This is where the script transitions from chart plotting to an information system. It renders multiple fixed tables on the chart (bottom-left, bottom-center, bottom-right) only on the last bar.
Technical Sentiment Dashboard (Right): A massive table aggregating over a dozen classic and advanced technical indicators (RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, Stochastic, ADX, Ichimoku, Parabolic SAR, Fibonacci levels, etc.). For each, it shows a calculated Status (e.g., "Overbought"), a numeric Value, and a concise Advice (e.g., "Sell"). It then groups these into "Cycle Indicators" (status of the core models above) and "Risk Management" metrics (Max Drawdown, Sharpe Ratio simulation, volatility).
Synthetic On-Chain Metrics Dashboard (Center): Since TradingView cannot pull real on-chain data, the script ingeniously simulates 80 different on-chain metrics (NVT, MVRV, Hash Rate, Exchange Flows, HODL Waves, S2F, etc.) by deriving them from price and volume data. Each metric displays a name, a simulated value, a signal ("Overvalued"), and a color code. This provides a proxy for the fundamental/network health narrative.
Multi-Cycle Systems Dashboard (Left): This table transcends traditional finance, cataloging the status of various long-wave cycles:
Economic Cycles: Kondratieff (50-60yr), Kuznets (15-25yr), Juglar (7-11yr), Kitchin (3-5yr), etc., each with a hardcoded current phase (e.g., "Recession (2020-2030)"), impact, and advice.
Speculative & Novel Cycles: Lunar, Seasonal, Commodity Super, Debt, and Innovation cycles.
Esoteric Systems: A full celestial (astrological) positioning of planets and a Four Pillars of Destiny (Bazi) reading, each with assigned market "impact" and "advice."
4. The Synthesis & Alert Layer:
Comprehensive Statistics: The right dashboard concludes with a tally of "Bullish vs. Bearish Signals" from across all technical and cycle indicators, generating an "Overall Sentiment" score.
Alert System: It creates TradingView alert conditions for every major crossover event from the core cycle models (CCT, Atlantean, Bitcoin, Golden Pi), allowing for automated notifications.
Underlying Calculation Logic & Rationale
The logic is built on convergence and weighted evidence. The creator's hypothesis appears to be that significant market turning points are rarely signaled by one indicator in isolation. Instead, they occur when:
Multiple Price-Based Cycle Models Align: When the CCT, Atlantean, and Bitcoin cycles all approach a "bottom" or "top" signal near the same time, the probability of a true phase change is considered higher.
Technical Conditions Match the Cycle Phase: A "Bull Market Start" signal is more credible if accompanied by oversold RSI/Stochastic, bullish MACD, and money flowing in (rising OBV).
The Macro Backdrop Supports the Narrative: The script hardcodes a specific macroeconomic worldview (e.g., "Tightening Credit Cycle," "AI Revolution Tech Cycle") to remind the user of the broader environment the price cycles are operating within.
Awareness of "Non-Rational" Drivers: By including astrological and Bazi elements, the script acknowledges that market narratives and crowd psychology can sometimes be influenced by or framed within these non-traditional systems. It doesn't necessarily predict with them but tracks them as potential sentiment catalysts.
The calculations for technical indicators are standard. The novelty is in their collective presentation and the synthetic creation of supporting data realms (on-chain, economic, esoteric) to form a complete, albeit highly speculative, "universe" of market-influencing factors.
How to Use It: A Practical Guide
This is not a "set and forget" system that generates simple buy/sell arrows. It is a decision-support and research tool.
Market Phase Identification: First, look at the background color and the status of the core cycle models in the right dashboard. Are you in a blue "Bottom to Top" phase? Check if the Atlantean "Bull Market Start" is active. This sets your primary bias.
Seeking Convergent Signals: Before acting on a cycle signal, cross-reference it with the Technical Sentiment dashboard. For example, an Atlantean "Market Top" signal is stronger if the RSI and Stochastic also show "Overbought," the MACD is "Bearish," and the Fear & Greed Index is in "Extreme Greed." Look for clusters of agreement.
Context from Other Dimensions: Check the On-Chain dashboard. Does the synthetic data suggest the network is "Overheated" or "Undervalued"? Check the Economic Cycle table. Does the perceived long-wave phase (e.g., "Kondratieff Recession") support a risk-on or risk-off stance? This provides narrative context for your trade thesis.
Risk Management Integration: Before sizing a position, check the Risk Management section. What is the current "Max Drawdown" and "Volatility Risk"? The dashboard suggests position sizing ("Light," "Medium," "Heavy") based on this.
Utilizing Alerts: Set alerts for the key cycle crossovers (CCT, Atlantean, etc.). When an alert triggers, it's your cue to open the chart and perform the full multi-dimensional convergence analysis described above, rather than acting on the alert alone.
In essence, the "Neeson Crypto Cycle" is a conceptual trading terminal. It posits that the modern trader, especially in crypto, must synthesize information from technicals, fundamentals, macroeconomics, and market psychology. By attempting to model all these facets in one place—even through estimation and simulation—it aims to give the user a structured framework for asking the right questions about the current state of the market, rather than providing simplistic, one-dimensional answers. Its value is in the breadth of its perspective and the discipline of multi-factor confirmation it encourages.
Neeson Volatility Adaptive Tracker ProVolatility Adaptive Tracker Pro: A Comprehensive Multi-Method Trading System
Executive Summary
The Volatility Adaptive Tracker Pro (VAT Pro) represents a sophisticated fusion of proven technical analysis methodologies with innovative adaptations, creating a unique multi-signal trading system. Unlike single-purpose indicators, VAT Pro combines multiple analytical approaches into a unified framework that addresses the complex realities of modern financial markets. This system is designed for traders who recognize that no single method consistently outperforms, and that market conditions require adaptive, multi-faceted approaches.
Original Innovations: What Sets VAT Pro Apart
1. Hybrid Volatility Measurement System
Most volatility indicators fall into two categories: those based on standard deviation (like Bollinger Bands) or those based on average true range (ATR). VAT Pro introduces a third approach: a weighted volatility measurement system that gives greater importance to recent price movements while maintaining sensitivity to overall market conditions. This creates a dynamic volatility assessment that adapts more responsively to changing market environments than conventional methods.
2. Dual-Layer Signal Architecture
While most indicators generate single-type signals, VAT Pro implements a tiered signaling system that distinguishes between:
Primary trend-following signals (based on price crossing adaptive volatility bands)
Secondary volume-confirmed signals (requiring both price movement and exceptional volume)
This dual-layer approach recognizes that not all market moves have equal significance, and that volume confirmation often signals more substantial moves worthy of special attention.
3. State-Based Logic with Memory
Conventional indicators typically generate signals independently on each bar. VAT Pro introduces persistent state tracking that maintains awareness of whether the market is currently in a bullish, bearish, or neutral condition. This prevents signal redundancy, reduces false signals, and provides valuable context for interpreting current market conditions.
What VAT Pro Does: Comprehensive Market Analysis
Primary Functions
Trend Identification: Detects transitions between bullish and bearish market conditions using multiple confirmation criteria.
Volume Analysis: Identifies exceptional trading activity that often precedes or confirms significant price movements.
Volatility Assessment: Continuously measures market volatility and adjusts sensitivity parameters accordingly.
Visual Context Provision: Uses color-coded price bars, trend lines, and clear signal markers to provide immediate visual feedback.
Multi-Timeframe Compatibility: Functions effectively across various trading timeframes from intraday to positional trading.
Implementation Methodology: The Technical Framework
Core Analytical Approaches
Among the hundreds of available technical analysis methods, VAT Pro specifically implements and integrates:
A. Adaptive Volatility Channel System
This approach modifies the traditional volatility channel concept by:
Using weighted moving averages for volatility calculation rather than simple or exponential averages
Implementing asymmetric response to upward versus downward volatility
Maintaining dynamic channel width that adjusts based on recent market conditions
The system falls within the broader category of volatility-adjusted trend following but introduces unique adaptations that improve responsiveness while maintaining stability.
B. Volume-Price Confirmation Method
Within volume analysis, VAT Pro specifically employs:
Threshold-based volume spike detection (volume exceeding moving average by specified multiples)
Price-direction confirmation (requiring price movement in the expected direction)
Contextual filtering (only considering volume signals in specific market conditions)
This represents a specific implementation within the volume confirmation family of methods, distinguished by its customizable thresholds and filtering logic.
C. Trailing Stop with Adaptive Positioning
The system implements a specific variant of trailing stop methodology characterized by:
State-dependent positioning (different logic for trending versus ranging markets)
Volatility-adjusted distance (stop levels adapt to current market conditions)
Memory of previous positions (the system "remembers" previous trend states)
This approach represents an advanced form of trailing stop placement that combines elements of volatility adjustment with trend state awareness.
Calculation Philosophy: The Core Principles
1. Weighted Response Philosophy
VAT Pro operates on the principle that recent market action should have greater influence than distant history, but not to the exclusion of broader context. This is implemented through custom weighting algorithms that balance responsiveness with stability.
2. Multi-Factor Confirmation Principle
The system is built on the premise that multiple confirming factors (price action, volume, volatility) provide more reliable signals than single-factor approaches. This represents a practical implementation of convergence/divergence analysis across different market dimensions.
3. State Transition Logic
Rather than viewing each bar in isolation, VAT Pro analyzes sequences of price action to determine market states and state transitions. This recognizes that markets often move through identifiable phases (accumulation, trending, distribution, ranging) that require different analytical approaches.
4. Adaptive Sensitivity
The system automatically adjusts its sensitivity based on current market volatility, becoming more responsive in low-volatility conditions and more stable in high-volatility environments. This represents a practical implementation of volatility-adjusted trading logic.

Price Probability Engine - Volatility & Structure-Based TargetsThe aim of the indicator is:
To provide adaptive, probability-weighted price target zones that help traders frame where price is most likely to interact next, without predicting when or guaranteeing direction.
Price Probability Engine is a target-projection overlay that blends three independent “next-move” reference methods into a single pair of AVG targets:
AVG Bull = a probabilistic upside objective
AVG Bear = a probabilistic downside objective
It is designed to help you frame the most reasonable near-term price zones using both volatility (ATR) and structure (pivot swings + measured moves) rather than relying on a single indicator.
What you see on the chart
When enabled, the script plots:
AVG Bull line (upper target)
AVG Bear line (lower target)
Optional last-bar labels that print the current target values
The overlay is scale-locked so the plots stay aligned with price when you scroll/zoom the chart.
How it works (conceptual, step-by-step)
1) ATR “reach filter” (probability gating)
All components are first checked against a reach filter:
A target is considered “reachable” only if it is within
Reach Filter × ATR from the current price.
This prevents extremely distant projections from dominating the final average.
2) Three component target engines
The script computes three upside candidates and three downside candidates:
A) ATR Component (volatility projection)
Uses ATR Length and ATR Multiplier
Projects a simple near-term band around price:
atrBull = close + ATR × mult
atrBear = close - ATR × mult
Direction mode:
Candle: compares close to close
Momentum(3): uses close − close
B) AutoFib Component (swing extension)
Detects swing highs/lows using pivot logic (Left/Right bars)
Projects an extension using a selectable Fib level (1.272 / 1.414 / 1.618 / 2.0 / 2.618)
Gives a structure-based target derived from the current swing range
C) Lindsey Component (measured-move target)
Detects a 3-point pivot sequence (P1/P2/P3) and projects a measured move to P4:
Bull: from a low-high-higher-low sequence
Bear: from a high-low-lower-high sequence
Optional P1/P2/P3 markers can be displayed for learning/debugging
3) Dynamic weighting (closer targets matter more)
If Dynamic Weights is enabled, each component’s weight increases as the target gets closer to price (within the reach window).
This means the final AVG tends to favor targets that are both reachable and near-term relevant.
You can control:
Base Weight (Fib / Lindsey / ATR)
Dynamic Power (how aggressively “closer” becomes “heavier”)
4) Outlier trimming (stability)
If Trim Outlier Component is enabled, the script:
computes a simple median reference of the remaining component targets
drops any target that deviates from the median by more than
Outlier Threshold × ATR
This reduces sudden jumps when one method produces an unusually extreme projection.
5) Final output: a weighted average (bull + bear)
The remaining eligible components are combined into:
AVG Bull (weighted average of bull candidates)
AVG Bear (weighted average of bear candidates)
If no components pass the reach filter (or are trimmed), the AVG line can temporarily become unavailable until valid inputs re-appear.
How to use it (practical workflow)
Pick your timeframe, then tune ATR:
Start with ATR Length 14 and ATR Mult 1.0–1.5
Set a reasonable Reach Filter (x ATR):
Smaller = only near targets
Larger = includes more distant projections
Decide how you want it to behave:
Dynamic Weights ON for “closer targets dominate”
Outlier Trim ON for smoother / less erratic averages
Use the AVG lines as planning zones, not certainties:
They are best treated as “where price is most likely to seek next” based on the blend of volatility + structure.
A common use is to monitor how price reacts as it approaches either AVG line (stalling, rejection, acceleration), and then reassess as new pivots/ATR values update.
Settings guide (quick)
ATR Length / Multiplier: controls the volatility envelope
Direction Mode: changes the bias input for ATR projection
Lindsey Left/Right: smaller = more sensitive pivots; larger = fewer, more meaningful pivots
Fib Left/Right + Extension: controls the swing structure target
Reach Filter: controls what qualifies as a realistic near-term target
Dynamic Power: higher = stronger preference for the nearest target
Outlier Threshold: higher = fewer removals; lower = more aggressive trimming
Notes / Transparency
This script does not place trades or guarantee outcomes. It is a visual target framework that adapts as volatility and market structure change. For best clarity, publish charts with this script on a clean layout so the AVG lines and labels are easy to identify.

Secuencia estricta (pendiente) HMA->RSI BB"The code combines a 100-period HMA as the first condition, and an RSI smoothed by a Bollinger Band set to default parameters of 24 and 1 standard deviation. The first condition is that the price is above or below the HMA. The second condition is that the RSI moves above or below the Bollinger Bands. Depending on how the conditions align, the system takes either a short or a long position."

## 📊 Scoring System (0-100)
The Market State Engine evaluates **four independent components**, each contributing up to **25 points** for a maximum total score of **100**.
### 🎯 Component Breakdown
| Component | Max Points | Description |
|-----------|------------|-------------|
| **VWAP Context** | 25 | Measures price deviation from session VWAP |
| **Structure Shift** | 25 | Confirms pivot breakout (HARD GATE) |
| **CVD Alignment** | 25 | Detects order flow divergence/confirmation |
| **Time-of-Day** | 25 | Identifies high-probability trading sessions |
---
### 1️⃣ VWAP Context (Max 25 Points)
**Purpose:** Identifies extreme price deviations from fair value for mean-reversion opportunities.
VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) is calculated session-anchored to New York market time, with standard deviation bands creating zones of opportunity.
#### Band Structure:
- **1st Band**: ±1σ from VWAP (fair value zone)
- **2nd Band**: ±2σ from VWAP (moderate deviation)
- **3rd Band**: ±3σ from VWAP (extreme deviation)
#### Scoring Logic (Exclusive):
```
Price in 3rd VWAP Band (>2σ and ≤3σ) → +25 points
Price in 2nd VWAP Band (>1σ and ≤2σ) → +15 points
Otherwise (inside 1σ or beyond 3σ) → 0 points
```
**Key Insight:** The further price stretches from VWAP, the higher the probability of mean reversion.
---
### 2️⃣ Structure Shift (Max 25 Points) — **HARD GATE**
**Purpose:** Confirms momentum shift through confirmed pivot breakouts.
⚠️ **CRITICAL:** Structure shift is **mandatory**. If no valid structure shift occurs, the **total score becomes 0** regardless of other factors.
#### Detection Method:
Uses TradingView's `ta.pivothigh()` and `ta.pivotlow()` functions with **locked parameters**:
- **Left bars**: 2
- **Right bars**: 2
- **Source**: Configurable (Wick or Body)
- **Break confirmation**: Candle close only
#### Bullish Structure Shift:
- ✅ Prior swing high exists (confirmed pivot)
- ✅ Current candle **closes above** swing high + tick buffer
- ✅ Must occur in VWAP 2nd or 3rd band
- ✅ **VWAP Filter**: Price must be **at or below VWAP** (lower bands)
#### Bearish Structure Shift:
- ✅ Prior swing low exists (confirmed pivot)
- ✅ Current candle **closes below** swing low - tick buffer
- ✅ Must occur in VWAP 2nd or 3rd band
- ✅ **VWAP Filter**: Price must be **at or above VWAP** (upper bands)
#### Scoring:
```
Valid structure shift → +25 points
No structure shift → Total score = 0
```
**Tick Buffer:** Default 5 ticks (configurable) - prevents false breaks from minor price noise.
---
### 3️⃣ CVD Alignment (Max 25 Points)
**Purpose:** Detects institutional order flow through volume delta analysis.
CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta) is a proxy for order flow:
```
Close > Open → +Volume (buying pressure)
Close < Open → -Volume (selling pressure)
```
#### Scoring Logic:
| Condition | Points | Description |
|-----------|--------|-------------|
| **Divergence** | +25 | Price makes higher high + CVD makes lower high (bearish)Price makes lower low + CVD makes higher low (bullish) |
| **Confirmation** | +20 | Price and CVD both make higher highs or lower lows |
| **Neutral** | 0 | No clear divergence or confirmation |
**Lookback Window:** Last 20 bars (configurable) - prevents stale divergences.
**Key Insight:** Divergences suggest weakening momentum, while confirmations validate the trend.
---
### 4️⃣ Time-of-Day Context (Max 25 Points)
**Purpose:** Prioritizes high-volume, high-volatility New York sessions.
#### Scored Sessions (America/New_York timezone):
| Session | Time Range (NY) | Points | Description |
|---------|-----------------|--------|-------------|
| **Pre-Market** | 03:00 - 04:00 | +25 | Early liquidity injection |
| **Market Open** | 09:30 - 11:30 | +25 | Highest volume period |
| **Off-Hours** | All other times | 0 | Lower probability setups |
**Key Insight:** Structure shifts during active sessions have higher follow-through probability.

✅ **Minimum score filter** - only A grade or higher (≥60)
✅ **Direction-specific** - separate bullish/bearish conditions
⚠️ **No cooldown between different pivots** - multiple alerts per session allowed if different swing levels break
---
## 🔧 Technical Details
### Timeframe Lock
- **Required**: 1-minute chart only
- **Reason**: Scoring model calibrated for 1m micro-structure
- **Future**: Multi-timeframe support planned for v2
### Timezone Configuration
- **Hard-coded**: `America/New_York`
- **Session Detection**: Uses TradingView's native session functions
- **Consistency**: All time-based logic uses NY timezone
### Swing Detection Parameters
**Locked to specification:**
- `ta.pivothigh(source, left=2, right=2)`
- `ta.pivotlow(source, left=2, right=2)`
**Implications:**
- Pivots confirmed 2 bars after formation
- No repainting - historical pivots don't move
- 4-bar minimum swing structure (2 left + pivot + 2 right)
### VWAP Calculation
- **Type**: Session-anchored (resets daily)
- **Source**: Typical price `(high + low + close) / 3`
- **Weighting**: Volume-weighted
- **Standard Deviation**: True population standard deviation
### CVD Proxy Formula
```pine
barDelta = close > open ? volume : close < open ? -volume : 0
CVD = cumulative sum of barDelta (session-reset)
```
### Performance Limits
- **Max Labels**: 500 (TradingView limit)
- **Max Bars Back**: 500
- **Memory**: Lightweight - uses only essential variables

## 💡 Best Practices
### 1. **Use as a Filter, Not a Strategy**
❌ Don't: Blindly take every signal
✅ Do: Use score as confluence for your existing analysis
### 2. **Higher Grades = Better Probability**
- **A Setups (60-74)**: Regular opportunities, still require discretion
- **A+ Setups (75-89)**: High-quality, multiple factors aligned
- **A++ Setups (90-100)**: Rare premium opportunities, strongest edge
### 3. **Respect the VWAP Zone Filter**
The indicator **automatically blocks**:
- Longs in upper VWAP bands (counter-trend)
- Shorts in lower VWAP bands (counter-trend)
Trust this logic - it enforces mean reversion discipline.
### 4. **Monitor the Score Panel**
Watch which components are scoring to understand **why** a setup formed:
- Missing CVD score? → No order flow confirmation
- Missing Time score? → Outside high-volume sessions
- Low VWAP score? → Weak deviation from fair value
### 5. **Combine with Risk Management**
The indicator provides **opportunity scoring**, not position sizing:
- Use stop losses based on swing structure
- Scale position size with setup grade (larger on A++, smaller on A)
- Set profit targets at VWAP or opposing band
### 6. **Session Awareness**
Prioritize signals during **active sessions**:
- **03:00-04:00 NY**: Pre-market momentum
- **09:30-11:30 NY**: Highest volume, tightest spreads
Off-hours signals (0 time score) are lower probability but still valid if other factors strong.
### 7. **Understand the Hard Gate**
If **no structure shift** occurs:
- Total score = 0
- No alerts fire
- Other components irrelevant
**Why?** Structure shift confirms momentum change - without it, there's no tradable opportunity.
### 8. **Avoid Over-Optimization**
Default settings are well-calibrated:
- Don't chase "perfect" parameters
- Test changes on historical data before live use
- Document any modifications
### 9. **Leverage Alert De-Duplication**
The indicator prevents spam automatically:
- One alert per unique swing break
- New swing levels = new alerts
- No need to manually filter notifications
### 10. **Supplement with Price Action**
Use the indicator alongside:
- Support/resistance levels
- Order flow footprint charts
- Volume profile
- Market internals (breadth, TICK, etc.)

## 📚 Example Scenarios
### Example 1: A++ Premium Setup (Score: 95)
```
Price: In lower 3rd VWAP band (-2.8σ) → VWAP: 25 pts
Structure: Close breaks swing high → Structure: 25 pts
CVD: Price LL + CVD HL (bullish div) → CVD: 25 pts
Time: 10:15 AM NY (market open) → Time: 25 pts
Direction: LONG (price below VWAP) → Valid
Grade: A++ (95/100)
```
**Interpretation:** All factors aligned - premium mean-reversion long opportunity.
---
### Example 2: A+ Strong Setup (Score: 80)
```
Price: In upper 2nd VWAP band (+1.5σ) → VWAP: 15 pts
Structure: Close breaks swing low → Structure: 25 pts
CVD: Price HH + CVD LH (bearish div) → CVD: 25 pts
Time: 2:00 PM NY (off-hours) → Time: 0 pts
Direction: SHORT (price above VWAP) → Valid
Grade: A+ (65/100)
```
**Interpretation:** Strong setup despite off-hours, bearish divergence adds confidence.
---
### Example 3: Filtered Setup (Score: 0)
```
Price: In upper 3rd VWAP band (+2.5σ) → VWAP: 25 pts (if allowed)
Structure: Close breaks swing high → Structure: BLOCKED
CVD: Price HH + CVD HH (confirmation) → CVD: 20 pts (if allowed)
Time: 10:00 AM NY → Time: 25 pts (if allowed)
Direction: LONG (price ABOVE VWAP) → ❌ INVALID ZONE
Grade: None (0/100) - NO ALERT
```
**Interpretation:** VWAP filter blocked long signal in upper band - prevents counter-trend trade.
---
## 🛠️ Troubleshooting
### No Signals Appearing
- ✅ Verify you're on **1-minute chart**
- ✅ Check **Tick Size** matches your symbol
- ✅ Ensure **VWAP Bands** are visible
- ✅ Wait for confirmed pivots (requires at least 5 bars of history)
### Alerts Not Firing
- ✅ Confirm alert is set to **"Once Per Bar Close"**
- ✅ Check score threshold (must be ≥60 by default)
- ✅ Verify VWAP zone filter isn't blocking signals
- ✅ Check that structure shift is actually occurring
### Score Always Zero
- ✅ No structure shift detected (hard gate active)
- ✅ Price may not be in valid VWAP zone (2nd or 3rd band)
- ✅ Insufficient swing history (wait for pivots to form)
### Too Many/Too Few Signals
**Too many signals:**
- Increase **A Setup Threshold** (e.g., 70 instead of 60)
- Increase **Tick Buffer Count** (reduces false breaks)
**Too few signals:**
- Decrease **A Setup Threshold** (e.g., 50 instead of 60)
- Decrease **Tick Buffer Count** (more sensitive to breaks)

Anchored LRL using ZigZag AnchorAnchored Linear Regression Channel - ZigZag Pivot
The Anchored Linear Regression Channel (LRL) dynamically anchors to the most recent ZigZag pivot point, providing traders with a regression-based channel that resets with each significant price swing.
HOW IT WORKS:
This indicator combines ZigZag pivot detection with linear regression analysis. When price reverses by a specified ATR multiple, a new pivot is identified. After a minimum number of bars, the linear regression channel anchors to this pivot and projects forward to the current bar, recalculating with each new bar.
KEY FEATURES:
- Dynamic anchoring to ZigZag highs and lows
- Customizable ATR-based reversal detection
- Two standard deviation channel bands (inner and outer)
- Adjustable minimum bars before anchor reset (ideal for scalping on lower timeframes)
- Separate controls for ZigZag smoothing vs. anchor reset timing
- Color-coded regression line (up/down trend)
- Optional line extension to the right
- Fully customizable colors and line widths
- Visual label marking the anchor pivot point
INPUTS:
- ATR Reversal: Multiplier for ATR-based pivot detection (default: 2.0)
- MA Length: EMA smoothing for ZigZag calculation (default: 5)
- ATR Length: Period for ATR calculation (default: 5)
- Min Bars After Pivot: Bars required before anchor resets (default: 3, reduce to 1-2 for faster scalping)
- Channel Widths: Inner (0.70) and Outer (1.00) standard deviation multiples
- Line Colors: Customizable colors for uptrend/downtrend and channel lines
- Label Colors: Customizable background and text colors
HOW TO USE:
1. Apply the indicator to your chart
2. Adjust "Min Bars After Pivot" based on your timeframe:
- 1-minute charts: Use 1-2 bars for quick scalping entries
- 5-minute+ charts: Use 3-5 bars for more confirmation
3. Watch for the regression line color to indicate trend direction
4. Use channel bands as potential support/resistance zones
5. The label shows which pivot (high/low) the channel is anchored to
BEST PRACTICES:
- Lower timeframes (1-5 min): Use lower "Min Bars After Pivot" (1-3) for faster reaction
- Higher timeframes: Use higher values (5+) for more confirmed pivots
- Combine with price action and volume for confirmation
- Adjust ATR Reversal based on instrument volatility
NOTES:
- This indicator repaints as it recalculates with each new bar
- Channel resets when a new ZigZag pivot is confirmed
- Not suitable for backtesting strategies due to dynamic nature
- Works best on liquid instruments with clear price swings

Session Range Boxes(MTF)📦 Indicator Name
Session Range Boxes (MTF)
Multi-Timeframe Directional Session Range Visualization
📘 Description
Session Range Boxes (MTF) is a multi-timeframe market structure tool that visually highlights price range behavior across different time sessions using clean, directional range boxes.
Each box represents the High–Low range of a completed or live session, automatically colored based on directional bias:
🟢 Bullish → Session Close > Session Open
🔴 Bearish → Session Close < Session Open
⚪ Neutral → Session Close = Session Open
This allows traders to instantly identify trend strength, balance zones, volatility expansion, and key support/resistance areas across multiple timeframes — all on a single chart.

✅ Scores market conditions objectively (0-100 scale)
✅ Filters out low-probability setups automatically
✅ Classifies opportunities into A, A+, and A++ grades
✅ Alerts only on confirmed structure shifts with supporting context
✅ Keeps the human in control - provides intelligence, not automation
Philosophy: Reduce Noise. Enforce Discipline. Surface Quality.
🚀 Key Features
Deterministic Scoring - No black boxes, fully explainable logic
Multi-Factor Analysis - Combines 4 independent market state components
Structure-First Approach - Only alerts on confirmed pivot breaks
VWAP Mean Reversion Logic - Directional filtering based on VWAP zones
Order Flow Proxy - CVD divergence and confirmation detection
Session-Aware Scoring - Prioritizes high-volume New York sessions
Alert De-Duplication - One alert per unique structure shift
Zero Repainting - Uses confirmed pivots only (left=2, right=2)
Fully Configurable - All parameters exposed as inputs
Visual Feedback - VWAP bands, setup labels, and real-time score panel
📊 Scoring System (0-100)
The Market State Engine evaluates four independent components, each contributing up to 25 points for a maximum total score of 100.
🎯 Component Breakdown
Component Max Points Description
VWAP Context 25 Measures price deviation from session VWAP
Structure Shift 25 Confirms pivot breakout (HARD GATE)
CVD Alignment 25 Detects order flow divergence/confirmation
Time-of-Day 25 Identifies high-probability trading sessions
1️⃣ VWAP Context (Max 25 Points)
Purpose: Identifies extreme price deviations from fair value for mean-reversion opportunities.
VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) is calculated session-anchored to New York market time, with standard deviation bands creating zones of opportunity.
Band Structure:
1st Band: ±1σ from VWAP (fair value zone)
2nd Band: ±2σ from VWAP (moderate deviation)
3rd Band: ±3σ from VWAP (extreme deviation)
Scoring Logic (Exclusive):
Price in 3rd VWAP Band (>2σ and ≤3σ) → +25 points
Price in 2nd VWAP Band (>1σ and ≤2σ) → +15 points
Otherwise (inside 1σ or beyond 3σ) → 0 points
Key Insight: The further price stretches from VWAP, the higher the probability of mean reversion.
2️⃣ Structure Shift (Max 25 Points) — HARD GATE
Purpose: Confirms momentum shift through confirmed pivot breakouts.
⚠️ CRITICAL: Structure shift is mandatory. If no valid structure shift occurs, the total score becomes 0 regardless of other factors.
Detection Method:
Uses TradingView's ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions with locked parameters:
Left bars: 2
Right bars: 2
Source: Configurable (Wick or Body)
Break confirmation: Candle close only
Bullish Structure Shift:
✅ Prior swing high exists (confirmed pivot)
✅ Current candle closes above swing high + tick buffer
✅ Must occur in VWAP 2nd or 3rd band
✅ VWAP Filter: Price must be at or below VWAP (lower bands)
Bearish Structure Shift:
✅ Prior swing low exists (confirmed pivot)
✅ Current candle closes below swing low - tick buffer
✅ Must occur in VWAP 2nd or 3rd band
✅ VWAP Filter: Price must be at or above VWAP (upper bands)
Scoring:
Valid structure shift → +25 points
No structure shift → Total score = 0
Tick Buffer: Default 5 ticks (configurable) - prevents false breaks from minor price noise.
3️⃣ CVD Alignment (Max 25 Points)
Purpose: Detects institutional order flow through volume delta analysis.
CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta) is a proxy for order flow:
Close > Open → +Volume (buying pressure)
Close < Open → -Volume (selling pressure)
Scoring Logic:
Condition Points Description
Divergence +25 Price makes higher high + CVD makes lower high (bearish)
Price makes lower low + CVD makes higher low (bullish)
Confirmation +20 Price and CVD both make higher highs or lower lows
Neutral 0 No clear divergence or confirmation
Lookback Window: Last 20 bars (configurable) - prevents stale divergences.
Key Insight: Divergences suggest weakening momentum, while confirmations validate the trend.
4️⃣ Time-of-Day Context (Max 25 Points)
Purpose: Prioritizes high-volume, high-volatility New York sessions.
Scored Sessions (America/New_York timezone):
Session Time Range (NY) Points Description
Pre-Market 03:00 - 04:00 +25 Early liquidity injection
Market Open 09:30 - 11:30 +25 Highest volume period
Off-Hours All other times 0 Lower probability setups
Key Insight: Structure shifts during active sessions have higher follow-through probability.
🏆 Setup Classification
Setups are graded based on total score thresholds (configurable):
Grade Score Range Typical Components Quality Level
A++ Setup ≥90 All 4 factors aligned
(VWAP 3rd band + Structure + CVD + Session) Premium - Rare
A+ Setup ≥75 Structure + VWAP + CVD or Session
(3 of 4 factors) High - Select
A Setup ≥60 Structure + VWAP + Session
(Minimum viable setup) Good - Regular
No Grade <60 Insufficient confluence Filtered out
Default Thresholds:
A Setup: 60 points
A+ Setup: 75 points
A++ Setup: 90 points

Step 4: Set Up Alerts (See Alert Conditions section)
🚦 Signal Filters (VWAP Zone Logic)
The indicator uses directional VWAP filtering to prevent counter-trend signals:
Long Signals (Green)
Only allowed when price is AT or BELOW VWAP
✅ Lower 2nd band (-2σ to -1σ)
✅ Lower 3rd band (-3σ to -2σ)
✅ At VWAP exactly
❌ BLOCKED in upper bands (above VWAP)
Logic: Longs when price is stretched below fair value (mean reversion)
Short Signals (Red)
Only allowed when price is AT or ABOVE VWAP
✅ Upper 2nd band (+1σ to +2σ)
✅ Upper 3rd band (+2σ to +3σ)
✅ At VWAP exactly
❌ BLOCKED in lower bands (below VWAP)
Logic: Shorts when price is stretched above fair value (mean reversion)

💡 Best Practices
1. Use as a Filter, Not a Strategy
❌ Don't: Blindly take every signal
✅ Do: Use score as confluence for your existing analysis
2. Higher Grades = Better Probability
A Setups (60-74): Regular opportunities, still require discretion
A+ Setups (75-89): High-quality, multiple factors aligned
A++ Setups (90-100): Rare premium opportunities, strongest edge
3. Respect the VWAP Zone Filter
The indicator automatically blocks:
Longs in upper VWAP bands (counter-trend)
Shorts in lower VWAP bands (counter-trend)
Trust this logic - it enforces mean reversion discipline.
4. Monitor the Score Panel
Watch which components are scoring to understand why a setup formed:
Missing CVD score? → No order flow confirmation
Missing Time score? → Outside high-volume sessions
Low VWAP score? → Weak deviation from fair value
5. Combine with Risk Management
The indicator provides opportunity scoring, not position sizing:
Use stop losses based on swing structure
Scale position size with setup grade (larger on A++, smaller on A)
Set profit targets at VWAP or opposing band
6. Session Awareness
Prioritize signals during active sessions:
03:00-04:00 NY: Pre-market momentum
09:30-11:30 NY: Highest volume, tightest spreads
Off-hours signals (0 time score) are lower probability but still valid if other factors strong.
7. Understand the Hard Gate
If no structure shift occurs:
Total score = 0
No alerts fire
Other components irrelevant
Why? Structure shift confirms momentum change - without it, there's no tradable opportunity.
8. Avoid Over-Optimization
Default settings are well-calibrated:
Don't chase "perfect" parameters
Test changes on historical data before live use
Document any modifications
9. Leverage Alert De-Duplication
The indicator prevents spam automatically:
One alert per unique swing break
New swing levels = new alerts
No need to manually filter notifications
10. Supplement with Price Action
Use the indicator alongside:
Support/resistance levels
Order flow footprint charts
Volume profile
Market internals (breadth, TICK, etc.)
📚 Example Scenarios
Example 1: A++ Premium Setup (Score: 95)
Price: In lower 3rd VWAP band (-2.8σ) → VWAP: 25 pts
Structure: Close breaks swing high → Structure: 25 pts
CVD: Price LL + CVD HL (bullish div) → CVD: 25 pts
Time: 10:15 AM NY (market open) → Time: 25 pts
Direction: LONG (price below VWAP) → Valid
Grade: A++ (95/100)
Interpretation: All factors aligned - premium mean-reversion long opportunity.
Example 2: A+ Strong Setup (Score: 80)
Price: In upper 2nd VWAP band (+1.5σ) → VWAP: 15 pts
Structure: Close breaks swing low → Structure: 25 pts
CVD: Price HH + CVD LH (bearish div) → CVD: 25 pts
Time: 2:00 PM NY (off-hours) → Time: 0 pts
Direction: SHORT (price above VWAP) → Valid
Grade: A+ (65/100)
Interpretation: Strong setup despite off-hours, bearish divergence adds confidence.
Example 3: Filtered Setup (Score: 0)
Price: In upper 3rd VWAP band (+2.5σ) → VWAP: 25 pts (if allowed)
Structure: Close breaks swing high → Structure: BLOCKED
CVD: Price HH + CVD HH (confirmation) → CVD: 20 pts (if allowed)
Time: 10:00 AM NY → Time: 25 pts (if allowed)
Direction: LONG (price ABOVE VWAP) → ❌ INVALID ZONE
Grade: None (0/100) - NO ALERT
Interpretation: VWAP filter blocked long signal in upper band - prevents counter-trend trade.
🛠️ Troubleshooting
No Signals Appearing
✅ Verify you're on 1-minute chart
✅ Check Tick Size matches your symbol
✅ Ensure VWAP Bands are visible
✅ Wait for confirmed pivots (requires at least 5 bars of history)
Alerts Not Firing
✅ Confirm alert is set to "Once Per Bar Close"
✅ Check score threshold (must be ≥60 by default)
✅ Verify VWAP zone filter isn't blocking signals
✅ Check that structure shift is actually occurring
Score Always Zero
✅ No structure shift detected (hard gate active)
✅ Price may not be in valid VWAP zone (2nd or 3rd band)
✅ Insufficient swing history (wait for pivots to form)
Too Many/Too Few Signals
Too many signals:
Increase A Setup Threshold (e.g., 70 instead of 60)
Increase Tick Buffer Count (reduces false breaks)
Too few signals:
Decrease A Setup Threshold (e.g., 50 instead of 60)
Decrease Tick Buffer Count (more sensitive to breaks)
