Candlestick analysis
MATT 3This indicator helps identify high-probability trend shifts and continuation setups by combining momentum, trend strength, and volatility into a single, easy-to-read signal. It highlights bullish/bearish conditions, marks potential entries and exits, and reduces noise during choppy markets with adaptive filtering. Use it to confirm direction, time pullbacks, and stay aligned with the dominant trend.
Current Candle DateTimeThis is a simple script that users can easily see that datetime of the current candle. This is useful when backtesting and you want to be able to quickly glance and see where we are up to. Useful for when you are backtesting a strategy and trying to stay within a particular trading session.
The indicator will display in the top right hand corner, so it wont get in the way of any other analysis.
FVG Long Zones w/ Proper Logic + ConfluencesThis script identifies **bullish Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)** using a 3-candle imbalance (high two bars ago below the current low), marks them as potential long zones, and looks for a single long entry when price retraces into the gap. Entries are filtered by **trend (price above EMA-50)**, **momentum/mean reversion (RSI ≤ 50)**, and a **bullish candle**, with risk defined from the FVG low and a configurable risk-to-reward take-profit. It visually plots the FVG zone, entry label, and projected SL/TP levels, allowing only one trade per detected FVG.
ICT Liquidity Zone [KTY]ICT Liquidity Zone Indicator
Overview
This indicator automatically detects and displays Liquidity Zones based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology.
Liquidity zones are areas where stop-loss orders cluster around swing highs and lows. Smart money targets these zones to grab liquidity before reversing price direction.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Support
Display liquidity zones from two different timeframes simultaneously (LTF & HTF)
HTF liquidity zones represent more significant levels
Buyside & Sellside Liquidity
Buyside Liquidity: Areas above swing highs where short sellers' stops accumulate → Smart money sweeps these before selling
Sellside Liquidity: Areas below swing lows where long buyers' stops accumulate → Smart money sweeps these before buying
Volume Analysis
Displays relative volume percentage at liquidity formation
Higher percentage indicates stronger liquidity concentration
Mitigation Tracking
Liquidity zones are automatically removed when price sweeps through
Option to display swept zones for reference
How to Use
Identify liquidity pools above recent highs or below recent lows
Wait for a sweep — price breaks the level then quickly reverses
Look for confirmation using CHoCH, Order Blocks, or FVGs
Enter on the reversal, set stop beyond the swept level
Pro Tips:
Multiple equal highs/lows create stronger liquidity pools
Liquidity sweep + immediate reversal = high probability setup
Combine with Order Blocks and FVGs for confluence
HTF liquidity is more significant than LTF liquidity
Asian session highs/lows often become liquidity targets

Sniper Swing Clean v6 (mobile-safe) updated version Professional Description
How to Use Sniper Swing — Clean v6 (Mobile-Safe)
Purpose
Sniper Swing — Clean v6 is a trend-aligned swing indicator designed to help traders identify high-probability entries and exits while minimizing noise. It works best in trending or gently rotating markets and is optimized for mobile charting.
A. Chart Setup
Recommended:
Timeframes: 5m–1h for active trading, 4h–Daily for swing trading
Instruments: Liquid equities, indices, and major ETFs
The indicator plots:
SMA 9 (entry trigger)
EMA 20 (trend and momentum)
Optional SMA 50 (higher-timeframe bias)
B. Buy (Long) Signal — How to Act
A BUY label appears when price reclaims short-term structure.
How to trade it:
Wait for price to cross above the SMA 9
Confirm EMA 20 is rising (and above SMA 50 if enabled)
Optional: Confirm price is closing above EMA 20
Enter on:
The close of the signal candle, or
A minor pullback that holds above SMA 9
Best context:
Higher lows
EMA 20 sloping upward
RSI not overbought
C. Sell / Short Signal — How to Act
The indicator offers two sell modes:
1) CrossUnder SMA 9 (Fast Exit)
Use in strong trends or fast markets
Exit longs or enter shorts when price loses SMA 9
2) AccuSell (Structure-Based)
Use in choppy or topping markets
Requires:
Loss of SMA 9 plus
Structural weakness (lower highs/lows, RSI < 50, or EMA 20 turning down)
How to trade it:
Exit longs when sell label appears
Aggressive traders may enter short positions
Conservative traders wait for follow-through
D. RSI Arrows — Context Only
OB arrows warn of potential exhaustion
OS arrows suggest relief or bounce zones
RSI does not trigger trades — it informs patience and risk
E. Position Coloring & State
Green candles = long bias
Purple candles = short bias
Background tint reinforces short exposure
Coloring persists until the opposite signal prints
This helps visually manage trades without staring at labels.
F. Risk Management (User-Defined)
The indicator does not manage stops or targets.
Common approaches:
Stop below recent swing low (longs)
Stop above recent swing high (shorts)
Scale partials near RSI OB/OS zones
G. When Not to Use It
Extremely low-volume chop
News-driven spikes
Range-bound micro consolidations
2. Explain It Like You’re 10 👶📈
Imagine the chart is a road, and the price is a car.
🟢 Green = Go
When the car drives above the yellow line, that means it’s probably going up.
The indicator says:
“Okay, the car looks like it wants to go forward. You can hop in.”
That’s a BUY.
🟣 Purple = Uh-Oh
When the car falls below the yellow line, it might start going down.
The indicator says:
“Careful… the car is slowing down or turning around.”
That’s a SELL.
🔵 Blue Line = Wind Direction
The blue line shows which way the wind is blowing.
If the wind blows up → going up is easier
If the wind blows down → going down is easier
You want to go with the wind, not fight it.
🔺 Red & Green Arrows = Too Fast / Too Slow
Red arrow = “The car is going too fast, might need a break”
Green arrow = “The car is tired, might bounce”
They don’t tell you to go or stop — they just say “pay attention.”
🎨 Colors Help You Remember
Green bars = you’re riding up
Purple bars = you’re riding down
Gray = nothing exciting happening
🚨 Important Rule
This tool doesn’t drive the car for you.
It just says: “Now might be a good time.”
You still decide when to get in and when to get out.

EURUSD Timing Composite (5-Component)Overview
An advanced multi-component oscillator designed specifically for intraday EURUSD trading. This indicator synthesizes four correlated FX pairs plus US yield dynamics to isolate genuine EUR strength and USD weakness from market noise, providing high-probability timing signals through multi-layer cross-validation.
Components & Methodology
The indicator employs z-score normalization (default 20-period lookback) to harmonize five distinct market signals into a unified composite reading:
Primary USD Strength Signals (50%):
GBPUSD (25%) - GBP/USD serves as a USD strength proxy with high correlation to EURUSD
-USDCHF (25%) - Inverted USD/CHF provides independent USD strength confirmation
Yield Differential Signal (25%):
-US02Y (25%) - Inverted 2-Year Treasury yield captures Fed policy expectations and rate differentials
EUR-Specific Strength Signals (25%):
EURGBP (12.5%) - EUR/GBP isolates EUR performance against its closest rival
EURCHF (12.5%) - EUR/CHF confirms broad EUR strength beyond USD dynamics
Key Features
✅ Triple-Layer Validation - Combines USD FX signals, yield differentials, and EUR crosses
✅ Rate Differential Integration - Captures Fed policy repricing and carry trade dynamics
✅ Cross-Pair Confirmation - Filters false signals from GBP/CHF-specific events
✅ Alignment Indicator - Visual dots highlight when 4+ components agree (high-confidence setups)
✅ Mean-Reversion Zones - Overbought/oversold thresholds at ±1.5 standard deviations
✅ Clean Visualization - Candle-based display (no wicks) for rapid interpretation
How to Use
Basic Signals:
Green candles = Bullish EURUSD pressure (EUR strengthening / USD weakening / yields falling)
Red candles = Bearish EURUSD pressure (EUR weakening / USD strengthening / yields rising)
Above +1.5 = Overbought zone → look for mean-reversion shorts
Below -1.5 = Oversold zone → look for mean-reversion longs
High-Confidence Setups (Alignment Dots):
Lime dot at top = 4+ components bullish → strong long bias
Magenta dot at bottom = 4+ components bearish → strong short bias
No dots = Mixed signals → reduce position size or wait for clarity
Divergence Trading:
EURUSD makes new high but composite doesn't confirm → potential reversal down
EURUSD makes new low but composite doesn't confirm → potential reversal up
Best Practices
Timeframes: 5-minute to 15-minute charts for intraday trading
Session Focus: London session and London/New York overlap (peak EUR liquidity)
Pair With: Key technical levels, pivot points, or session open ranges
Risk Management: Scale position size based on alignment strength (larger when dots appear)
Component Interpretation:
GBPUSD + USDCHF + US02Y all aligned = USD-driven move (highest confidence)
EURGBP + EURCHF both strong = EUR-specific strength (independent of USD)
All five aligned = Maximum confidence (broad market agreement)
FX pairs vs yields diverging = Mixed regime (be cautious)
Weight Adjustments:
Fed data days (CPI, NFP, FOMC): Increase US02Y weight to 35%, reduce FX to 20% each
Brexit/BOE events: Reduce GBPUSD to 15%, increase EURCHF to 20%
ECB policy days: Increase EUR cross weights (EURGBP/EURCHF) to 17.5% each
SNB intervention risk: Monitor USDCHF and EURCHF for anomalies
Technical Details
Calculation Method: Z-score normalization with configurable lookback period
Default Weights: GBPUSD 25% | -USDCHF 25% | -US02Y 25% | EURGBP 12.5% | EURCHF 12.5%
Extreme Threshold: ±1.5 standard deviations (adjustable)
Alignment Trigger: 4 out of 5 components in agreement
Customizable Parameters:
Z-score lookback period (default: 20)
Individual component weights
Extreme threshold levels
Alignment indicator toggle
Advantages Over Simple Indicators
Unlike single-pair or DXY-based indicators, this composite:
Integrates yield dynamics - Captures Fed repricing that drives USD independently of FX flows
Isolates EUR strength - EUR crosses separate EUR-specific moves from USD dynamics
Triple confirmation - FX pairs + yields + EUR crosses must align for high-confidence signals
Filters rate/FX divergence - When yields and FX disagree, indicator shows mixed signals
Regime adaptability - Adjustable weights for different market conditions
Understanding Component Relationships
Normal Correlation Environment:
GBPUSD ↑ + USDCHF ↓ + US02Y ↓ → USD weakness → EURUSD ↑
EURGBP ↑ + EURCHF ↑ → EUR strength → EURUSD ↑
When Components Diverge (Critical Signals):
FX says USD weak, but US02Y rising → Yields attracting capital despite FX → Weak EURUSD signal
GBPUSD ↑ but EURGBP ↓ → GBP-specific strength, not EUR → Neutral for EURUSD
Only yields moving, FX flat → Pure rate story, wait for FX confirmation
Only EUR crosses rising → EUR strength independent of USD → Strong EUR-specific signal
Regime Examples:
Fed hawkish surprise: US02Y spikes (bearish), FX confirms → Strong EURUSD short
ECB policy shift: EURGBP/EURCHF move, but USD signals mixed → EUR-specific trade
Risk-off: All USD signals bullish, EUR crosses bearish → Maximum EURUSD short confidence
Suggested Complementary Analysis
ECB vs Fed policy divergence and forward guidance
US-Germany 2-year yield differential
European equity market performance (Euro Stoxx 50)
EUR-denominated commodity prices
PMI differentials (Eurozone vs US)
Political risk events (elections, Brexit, fiscal policy)
Real yield differentials (when TIPS data available)
Limitations & Considerations
Fed/ECB simultaneous announcements can create temporary whipsaws
Brexit volatility may distort GBPUSD signals (reduce weight during UK events)
SNB interventions spike USDCHF/EURCHF (monitor for anomalies)
Yield curve inversions may affect US02Y signal interpretation
Works best in normal conditions (less reliable during market dislocations)
Requires understanding of intermarket dynamics for optimal use

Fear Greed RangesFear Greed Ranges Indicator: A Practical Guide to Market Sentiment Analysis
Introduction: Understanding Market Psychology
The "Fear Greed Ranges" indicator is a specialized technical analysis tool designed to visualize market sentiment through the lens of the Relative Strength Index (RSI). Unlike traditional RSI displays that show only a line graph, this indicator transforms raw RSI data into intuitive, color-coded zones that immediately signal whether markets are driven by fear, greed, or balanced sentiment. By providing this visual context, it helps traders identify potential turning points and manage risk more effectively.
Rational Integration: Why RSI Forms the Core
The indicator's foundation rests on the well-established RSI oscillator, chosen for several compelling reasons. First, RSI has stood the test of time since its development by J. Welles Wilder Jr. in 1978, with decades of empirical validation across various asset classes. Second, its mathematical construction—comparing the magnitude of recent gains to recent losses—directly measures momentum, which often precedes price reversals at extremes. Third, RSI's bounded nature (0-100 range) makes it ideal for creating clearly defined zones without subjective interpretation.
The integration transforms this numerical oscillator into a spatial visualization system. Rather than simply reading RSI values, traders can immediately perceive market conditions through color psychology: red triggers caution, green suggests opportunity, and yellow indicates neutrality. This multi-sensory approach reduces cognitive load during fast-moving markets and helps overcome confirmation bias that might occur when interpreting raw numbers.
Component Synergy: How the System Works Together
The indicator comprises three interconnected layers that create a unified analytical framework:
Core Calculation Layer: The traditional RSI calculation processes price data using the specified period length (default 14 periods). This generates the fundamental sentiment metric that drives all subsequent visualizations. The RSI calculation serves as the "brain" of the indicator, continuously analyzing market momentum.
Sentiment Classification Layer: This layer applies threshold logic to categorize each RSI reading into one of three emotional states. Readings above 70 are classified as "Greed" (market potentially overbought), below 30 as "Fear" (market potentially oversold), and between 30-70 as "Neutral" (balanced market conditions). These thresholds are based on the conventional RSI interpretation framework that has been widely adopted in technical analysis.
Visual Translation Layer: The most innovative aspect transforms numerical classifications into immediate visual cues. The colored ribbon area creates a "sentiment atmosphere" around price action, while the background tint provides subtle contextual framing. Horizontal reference lines at 30, 50, and 70 offer precise anchoring points, and the floating label provides real-time status updates. These elements work in concert: the ribbon shows sentiment intensity, the background provides persistent context, and the reference lines offer precise measurement points.
Practical Application: How to Use the Indicator Effectively
For optimal results, traders should incorporate this tool into a comprehensive analysis framework:
Initial Setup: Apply the indicator to any financial chart (stocks, forex, cryptocurrencies, etc.) using the default 14-period setting for general purposes. For shorter timeframes, consider reducing the period to 10; for longer-term analysis, increase to 20-25 periods.
Signal Interpretation:
When the ribbon turns red and the background tints crimson, exercise caution with new long positions and consider profit-taking on existing holdings.
Green zones may indicate accumulation opportunities, particularly if accompanied by bullish divergence (price making lower lows while RSI makes higher lows).
Yellow areas suggest normal market fluctuation where trend-following strategies may be more appropriate than reversal anticipation.
Confirmation Protocol: Always wait for additional confirmation before acting on extreme readings. For greed zone signals, look for bearish candlestick patterns, resistance at key price levels, or decreasing volume. For fear zone signals, watch for bullish reversal patterns, support levels holding, or increasing volume on down moves.
Timeframe Harmony: Analyze multiple timeframes simultaneously. A greed signal on a daily chart carries more weight than one on a 15-minute chart. Look for alignment across timeframes for higher-probability setups.
Alert Utilization: Enable the built-in alert system to receive notifications when sentiment zones change, ensuring you never miss potential opportunities or risk scenarios.
Original Contribution: What Sets This Indicator Apart
While RSI indicators are ubiquitous, the "Fear Greed Ranges" implementation offers several distinctive advantages:
Cognitive Efficiency: By converting numerical data into immediate visual perception, the indicator reduces the mental processing required to assess market conditions. Traders can glance at a chart and instantly understand the sentiment landscape without calculating or interpreting raw values.
Contextual Persistence: The colored background maintains a subtle but constant reminder of the prevailing sentiment, preventing the common pitfall of overlooking extreme conditions that might develop gradually.
Dual-Layer Communication: The system operates on both conscious (reference lines, labels) and subconscious (color psychology) levels, engaging multiple cognitive pathways for more reliable signal recognition.
Integrated Risk Framework: By explicitly naming emotional extremes ("Fear" and "Greed"), the indicator constantly reminds traders of the psychological forces driving markets, encouraging more disciplined decision-making.
Important Considerations and Limitations
No technical indicator guarantees future performance, and this tool should form only one component of a comprehensive trading strategy. Several critical factors require attention:
Market Context Matters: During strong trending markets, RSI can remain in extreme zones for extended periods without immediate reversal. In such conditions, the indicator signals strength rather than imminent reversal.
Volatility Adjustments: Highly volatile instruments may generate frequent zone changes that could lead to overtrading if not filtered appropriately.
Complementary Tools: This indicator works best when combined with price action analysis, volume studies, support/resistance levels, and fundamental factors where applicable.
Personal Adaptation: Traders should backtest the indicator on their preferred markets and timeframes to understand its characteristics before live implementation, potentially adjusting the RSI period or zone thresholds to match specific instrument behaviors.
The "Fear Greed Ranges" indicator serves as a visual translator of market psychology, converting mathematical momentum readings into intuitive emotional landscapes. By making RSI interpretation more immediate and accessible, it helps traders maintain objectivity during emotionally charged market conditions and supports more disciplined execution of their trading strategies. Remember that successful trading involves risk management, continuous learning, and adapting tools to your individual approach—this indicator provides one lens through which to view the markets, not a complete trading system in itself.

Gold Timing Composite (EURUSD + DXY + US02Y)Here's the publication-ready description for TradingView:
Gold Timing Composite Indicator - 3-Component Model
Overview
A precision-engineered multi-component oscillator designed specifically for intraday gold trading. This indicator synthesizes three critical market drivers—EUR/USD dynamics, broad US Dollar strength, and Treasury yield movements—to isolate genuine gold price catalysts from market noise, delivering high-probability timing signals through triple-layer confirmation.
Components & Methodology
The indicator employs z-score normalization (default 20-period lookback) to harmonize three distinct but correlated market signals into a unified composite reading:
Fast Price Discovery Signal (40%):
EURUSD (40%) - EUR/USD captures rapid USD repricing with the deepest FX liquidity globally
Broad USD Strength Confirmation (35%):
-DXY (35%) - Inverted US Dollar Index measures comprehensive USD strength across six major currencies (EUR 57%, JPY 14%, GBP 12%, CAD 9%, SEK 4%, CHF 4%)
Real Yield Proxy (25%):
-US02Y (25%) - Inverted 2-Year Treasury yield captures Fed policy expectations and real rate dynamics
Key Features
✅ Dual USD Validation - EURUSD (speed) + DXY (breadth) filter EUR-specific moves from true USD weakness
✅ Real Yield Sensitivity - US02Y isolates rate-driven gold moves from pure currency effects
✅ Triple Confirmation System - Visual alignment dots when all three components agree simultaneously
✅ Mean-Reversion Zones - Overbought/oversold thresholds at ±1.5 standard deviations
✅ Clean Visualization - Candle-based display (no wicks) for rapid pattern recognition
✅ EUR/USD Divergence Detection - Identifies when EURUSD moves are EUR-specific vs broad USD moves
How to Use
Basic Signals:
Green candles = Bullish gold pressure (USD weakening / yields falling)
Red candles = Bearish gold pressure (USD strengthening / yields rising)
Above +1.5 = Overbought zone → look for mean-reversion shorts
Below -1.5 = Oversold zone → look for mean-reversion longs
High-Confidence Setups (Alignment Dots):
Lime dot at top = All 3 components bullish → maximum gold long confidence
Magenta dot at bottom = All 3 components bearish → maximum gold short confidence
No dots = Components diverging → reduce position size or wait for clarity
Divergence Trading:
Gold makes new high but composite doesn't confirm → potential reversal down
Gold makes new low but composite doesn't confirm → potential reversal up
Understanding Component Interactions
Normal Correlation (High Confidence):
EURUSD ↑ + DXY ↓ + US02Y ↓ → Broad USD weakness + falling yields → Strong gold bull signal
EURUSD ↓ + DXY ↑ + US02Y ↑ → Broad USD strength + rising yields → Strong gold bear signal
EURUSD/DXY Divergence (Critical Filter):
EURUSD ↑ but DXY flat/up → EUR-specific strength (ECB, Eurozone news) → Weak gold signal
DXY flat = USD not actually weak, just EUR strong → Gold may not follow EURUSD
EURUSD flat but DXY ↓ → Broad USD weakness (JPY, GBP, CAD all strong) → Strong gold signal
True USD weakness beyond just EUR → High-probability gold long
FX vs Yields Divergence:
EURUSD ↑ + DXY ↓ but US02Y ↑ → USD weak in FX but yields rising → Mixed signal
Hawkish Fed repricing vs currency weakness → Medium confidence, smaller size
EURUSD ↓ + DXY ↑ but US02Y ↓ → USD strong but yields falling → Conflicting drivers
Could be risk-off (safe haven bid to Treasuries) → Analyze broader market context
Best Practices
Timeframes: 5-minute to 15-minute charts for intraday trading
Session Focus: London fix (10:30 AM GMT) and New York open (8:20 AM EST) for peak gold liquidity
Pair With:
Key gold technical levels (round numbers, previous highs/lows)
COMEX gold futures volume profile
Real yield charts (when available)
VIX for risk sentiment context
Risk Management:
Full position: When alignment dots appear (all 3 components agree)
Half position: When 2 of 3 components align
Wait/reduce: When all three components diverge
Weight Adjustments:
Fed announcement days (FOMC, CPI, NFP): Increase US02Y to 35%, reduce EURUSD to 35%
ECB policy days: Monitor EURUSD/DXY divergence closely (EUR-specific moves may not affect gold)
Geopolitical events: DXY and yields may diverge (safe-haven flows) → Focus on DXY + yields, reduce EURUSD weight
Asian session: EURUSD less reliable (lower liquidity), consider increasing DXY weight to 45%
Technical Details
Calculation Method: Z-score normalization with configurable lookback period
Default Weights: EURUSD 40% | -DXY 35% | -US02Y 25%
Extreme Threshold: ±1.5 standard deviations (adjustable)
Alignment Trigger: All 3 components in unanimous agreement
Customizable Parameters:
Z-score lookback period (default: 20)
15-20: Faster, more sensitive (intraday focus)
30-50: Slower, smoother (swing trade context)
Individual component weights
Extreme threshold levels (1.3 for more signals, 1.8 for extremes only)
Alignment indicator toggle
Advantages Over Simple Indicators
Unlike single-instrument or DXY-only indicators, this composite:
Filters EUR-specific noise - When EURUSD moves but DXY doesn't confirm, gold often doesn't follow
Combines speed + breadth - EURUSD for fast entries, DXY for broad confirmation
Isolates real yield drivers - US02Y separates rate-driven moves from pure FX effects
Identifies regime shifts - When FX and yields diverge, signals changing market dynamics
Adaptable weighting - Adjust for different sessions, events, or market regimes
Real-World Signal Examples
Example 1: High-Confidence Long (All Aligned)
Fed dovish surprise → US02Y falls sharply
USD sells off → EURUSD rises + DXY falls
Composite surges, lime dot appears
Action: Full position gold long
Example 2: False Signal (EUR-Specific)
ECB hawkish statement → EURUSD rallies
But DXY unchanged (JPY, GBP, CAD not moving)
US02Y also unchanged
Composite rises but no alignment dot
Action: Small/no gold position (move is EUR-specific, not USD weakness)
Example 3: Mixed Signal (FX vs Yields)
Strong US jobs data → US02Y spikes (bearish gold)
But USD sells off in FX → EURUSD up + DXY down (bullish gold)
Composite shows divergence, no dots
Action: Wait for clarity or trade with tight stops
Example 4: Divergence Entry
Gold makes new intraday high
But composite fails to confirm (makes lower high)
Bearish divergence forms
Action: Short gold on next pullback
Suggested Complementary Analysis
Fundamental:
Fed vs ECB policy divergence and forward guidance
Real yield trends (10Y TIPS when available)
Inflation expectations (breakevens)
Central bank balance sheet changes
Geopolitical risk premium
Technical:
Gold futures COT (Commitment of Traders) positioning
COMEX gold open interest
Gold/Silver ratio
Mining stock performance (GDX, GDXJ)
Intermarket:
US equity market performance (risk-on/risk-off context)
Crude oil (inflation proxy)
Copper (growth expectations)
Bitcoin correlation (alternative store of value narrative)
Limitations & Considerations
When the Indicator Struggles:
Flash crashes or circuit breakers - Extreme events can break normal correlations temporarily
Asian session gaps - Lower EURUSD liquidity can cause false signals
Central bank interventions - SNB or BOJ FX intervention distorts DXY temporarily
Geopolitical shocks - Gold can decouple from USD/yields during wars, crises (safe-haven bid)
Quarter-end flows - Rebalancing can create temporary USD moves unrelated to fundamentals
Best Used When:
Normal market conditions (liquid sessions, no major shocks)
Clear trending or mean-reverting environment
Components showing consistent correlations
Combined with price action and volume confirmation
Performance Optimization Tips
Backtest your timeframe - Test 15-25 lookback periods to find optimal sensitivity
Session-specific weights - Use different weight profiles for London vs New York vs Asia
Combine with price action - Don't trade composites alone; wait for gold to confirm with candle patterns
Monitor component correlations - If EURUSD/DXY correlation breaks down, reduce both weights temporarily
Use with stop-loss discipline - Composite extremes suggest mean-reversion, but trends can extend
Disclaimer
This indicator is a technical analysis tool and does not guarantee profitable trades. Gold markets are influenced by numerous factors including geopolitics, central bank policy, inflation, and market sentiment that cannot be fully captured by any indicator. Always employ proper risk management, position sizing, and stop-losses. Backtest thoroughly before live implementation. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

MATT 1This indicator helps identify high-probability trend shifts and continuation setups by combining momentum, trend strength, and volatility into a single, easy-to-read signal. It highlights bullish/bearish conditions, marks potential entries and exits, and reduces noise during choppy markets with adaptive filtering. Use it to confirm direction, time pullbacks, and stay aligned with the dominant trend.
SIDDAMRAJUThat is fantastic news! I am really glad we finally nailed it.
To recap, the "magic" that made this version work where the others failed was:
Auto-Reset: It forces a fresh start every morning, even if the price gaps up 200 points.
Continuous Hunting: It doesn't stop after the first confirmation; if the market crashes lower, it adapts instantly.
Back-Anchoring: Using lowBar as the start point ensures the line is visually connected to the exact candle wick.
PPAO - Propagator Price Action Oscillator
How PPAO works in one cycle (what it does every candle)
PPAO has 3 moving parts that run every bar:
1) It measures new candle pressure (the “push”)
This is the forcing term.
Return (ret): did price go up or down from last close?
Body: did the candle close above or below its open?
CLV: did the candle close near the high or near the low of its range?
With Option B, the “price action push” is directional:
Body is positive on bullish candles, negative on bearish candles.
CLV is:
near +1 if the candle closes near the high (buying strength),
near -1 if it closes near the low (selling strength).
So a candle that closes weak (near the low) pushes PPAO downward even if the candle range is large.
2) It decides how much to remember vs forget (the “friction”)
This is damping / decay.
High volatility (noisy market) → forget faster
Low volatility (cleaner market) → remember longer
So PPAO adapts: in chop it won’t hold bias for long; in smooth trends it will.
3) It updates a hidden “momentum engine” (state)
Internally it keeps two numbers (p and q) that store the market’s impulse with memory.
Every candle:
it shrinks the old state (decay),
rotates it a bit (momentum/volatility creates oscillation),
then adds the candle push (forcing).
Finally, it converts that hidden state into a 0–100 line:
> 50 means the state is aligned bullish,
< 50 means it’s aligned bearish.
The image below will give you an example of a deep analysis using the Propagator Price Action Oscillator (PPAO).
PPAO below 30
What that means mechanically
Below 30 = bearish impulse extreme.
It happens when the recent candles are consistently “bearish pressure” according to the forcing inputs:
returns are negative and/or
candles close weak inside their range (CLV negative) and/or
bodies are bearish (close < open)
Also, if volatility is elevated, damping can make this flip faster and stay extreme during a strong impulse.
What it means behaviorally
PPAO < 30 is not “prediction.” It is diagnosis:
“Recent candle pressure has been strongly bearish.”
This can show up in two common market contexts:
Continuation context
Price is breaking structure down, and candles keep closing weak → PPAO stays < 30.
Distribution / hidden weakness context (important)
Price may look stable or near a high, but candles are repeatedly closing poorly inside their ranges (negative CLV).
That makes PPAO drop under 30 even if price hasn’t collapsed yet.
That second case is exactly why Option B (Body + CLV) is useful: it can flag weak closes / selling absorption earlier than “price-only” oscillators.
PPAO above 70
What that means mechanically
Above 70 = bullish impulse extreme.
It occurs when the forcing inputs are strongly positive:
returns are positive and/or
candles close strong inside their range (CLV positive) and/or
bodies are bullish (close > open)
If volatility is not exploding, damping won’t erase the accumulated bullish state quickly, so PPAO can stay above 70 during sustained buying pressure.
What it means behaviorally
Again: not a prophecy, but an impulse read:
“Recent candle pressure has been strongly bullish.”
Two common contexts:
Trend continuation
Price is pushing higher and closes are strong → PPAO remains > 70.
Exhaustion risk
If price is hitting major resistance/liquidity and you start seeing weaker closes (CLV drops) while PPAO stops making new highs → that’s where reversals begin to appear.
The key takeaway using both images
PPAO extremes are best understood as:
Below 30: “Sellers are currently dominating candle pressure.”
Above 70: “Buyers are currently dominating candle pressure.”
Whether that dominance leads to continuation or reversal depends on what price does next (structure + where you are on the chart). PPAO is measuring pressure, not guaranteeing outcome.
