LJ Parsons Harmonic Time StampsPurpose of the Script
This script is designed to divide a specific time period on a market chart (from startDate to endDate) into fractional segments based on mathematically significant ratios. It then plots vertical lines at the first candle that occurs at or after each of these fractional timestamps. Each line is labeled according to an interval scheme, as outlined by LJ Parsons
"Structured Multiplicative, Recursive Systems in Financial Markets"
papers.ssrn.com
Providing a symbolic mapping of time fractions
zenodo.org
Start (00) and End (00): Marks the beginning and end of the period.
Intermediate labels (m2, M2, m3, M3, …): Represent divisions of the time period that correspond to specific fractions of the whole.
This creates a visual “resonance map” along the price chart, where the timing of price movements can be compared to mathematically significant points.
Parsons Market Resonance Theory proposes that markets move in patterns that are not random but resonate with underlying mathematical structures, analogous to logarithmic relationships. The key ideas reflected in this script are:
Temporal Fractional Resonance
By marking fractional points of a defined time period, the script highlights potential moments when market activity might “resonate” due to cyclical patterns. These points are analogous to overtones in music—certain times may have stronger market reactions.
Mapping Market Movements to "Just Intonation" Intervals
Assigning Interval labels to fractional timestamps provides a symbolic framework for understanding market behaviour. For example, the midpoint (P5) may correspond to strong market turning points, while minor or major intervals (m3, M6) might correspond to subtler movements.
Identifying Potentially Significant Points in Time
The plotted lines do not predict price direction but rather identify temporal markers where price movements may be more likely to display structured behaviour. Traders or researchers can then study price reactions around these lines for correlations with market resonance patterns.
In essence, the script turns a period of time into a harmonic structure, with each line and label acting like a “note” in the market’s temporal symphony. It’s a tool to visualize and test whether price behaviour aligns with the resonant fractions hypothesized in MRT.
Focus On Work time (Tehran)If you only want to analyze the market during specific working hours and ignore the rest, this indicator is for you. It lets you hide or highlight non-working times on your chart, so you can focus only on the sessions that matter to you.
Just set your start time and end time for the work session.
By default, the time is set to UTC+3:30 (Tehran time), but you can change it to any timezone you like.

Market Regime Flip (Dunk)This indicator is a trend regime flip tool built on top of MACD. Instead of reacting to every little wiggle, it waits for several bars in a row where the MACD stays either above or below zero (by default, 3 consecutive bars). When the MACD has been above zero for 3 bars, it declares a bull regime and marks that bar on the price chart with a green “BULL” triangle above the candle. When the MACD has been below zero for 3 bars, it declares a bear regime and marks that bar with a red “BEAR” triangle below the candle. It also lightly colors the chart background green in bull regimes and red in bear regimes, so you can see at a glance which side of the market you’re in.
In other words, it turns the MACD’s usual “above/below zero” behavior into a clean, slower-changing on/off regime switch. Instead of giving you constant signals, it focuses on the moments where momentum truly shifts and sticks around for a few bars, helping you avoid getting faked out by single-bar noise. The alerts are wired to those flip moments, so you can get notified when the market transitions from bearish to bullish (or vice versa) according to this MACD-based regime logic.
Daily Oversold Swing ScreenerThat script is a **Pine Script Indicator** designed to identify potential **swing trade entry points** on a daily timeframe by looking for stocks that are **oversold** but still in a **healthy long-term uptrend**.
It screens for a high-probability reversal setup by combining four specific technical conditions.
Here is a detailed breakdown of the script's purpose and logic:
---
## 📝 Script Description: Daily Oversold Swing Screener
This Pine Script indicator serves as a **momentum and trend confirmation tool** for active traders seeking short-to-intermediate-term long entries. It uses data calculated on the **Daily** timeframe to generate signals, regardless of the chart resolution you are currently viewing.
The indicator is designed to filter out stocks that are in a strong downtrend ("falling knives") and only signal pullbacks within an established uptrend, which significantly increases the probability of a successful swing trade bounce.
### 🔑 Key Conditions for a Signal:
The indicator generates a buy signal when **all four** of the following conditions are met on the Daily timeframe:
#### 1. Oversold Momentum
* **Condition:** `rsiD < rsiOS` (Daily RSI is below the oversold level, typically **30**).
* **Purpose:** Confirms that the selling pressure has been extreme and the stock is temporarily out of favor, setting up a potential bounce.
#### 2. Momentum Turning Up
* **Condition:** `rsiD > rsiPrev` (Current Daily RSI value is greater than the previous day's Daily RSI value).
* **Purpose:** This is the most crucial filter. It confirms that the momentum has **just started to shift upward**, indicating that the low may be in and the stock is turning away from the oversold region.
#### 3. Established Uptrend (No Falling Knives)
* **Condition:** `sma50 > sma200 and closeD > sma50` (50-day SMA is above the 200-day SMA, AND the current daily close is above the 50-day SMA).
* **Purpose:** This is a **long-term trend filter**. It ensures that the current oversold condition is just a **pullback** within a larger, structurally bullish market (50 > 200), and that the price is still holding above the short-term trend line (Close > 50 SMA). This effectively screens out weak stocks in continuous downtrends.
#### 4. Price at Support (Bollinger Bands)
* **Condition:** `closeD <= lowerBB` (Daily Close is less than or equal to the lower Bollinger Band).
* **Purpose:** Provides a secondary measure of extreme price deviation. When the price touches or breaches the lower band, it suggests a significant move away from the mean (basis), often signaling strong statistical support where price is likely to revert.
### 📌 Summary of Signal
The final signal (`signal`) is triggered only when the market is confirmed to be **in a healthy long-term trend (Condition 3)**, the price is at an **extreme support level (Condition 4)**, the momentum is **oversold (Condition 1)**, and most importantly, the **momentum has begun to reverse (Condition 2)**.

Sequential Exhaustion 9/13 [Crypto Filter] - PyraTimeConcept: The Exhaustion Meter
This indicator is a customized version of the Sequential count, a powerful tool used by institutional traders to measure buyer and seller exhaustion. It looks for a sequence of 9 (Setup) or 13 (Countdown) consecutive candles that satisfy specific price criteria.
The purpose is simple: To tell you when a trend has run out of fuel.
Key Differentiators (The Value)
Due to the high volatility of the crypto market, standard Sequential indicators print too many false signals ("13s") during a strong trend. This custom version solves that problem with two core filters:
1. Trend Filter (EMA 200): If enabled, the indicator will automatically hide all Sell signals when the price is above the 200 EMA, protecting the user from shorting an uptrend (and vice-versa).
2. Color Confirmation: It will not print a signal unless the closing candle color matches the direction (e.g., no Red 13 sell signals on Green Candles). This drastically cleans up the chart.
Understanding the Numbers
The numbers appearing above and below the candles are your exhaustion meter.
* The "9" (Setup): Indicates a short-term trend is nearing exhaustion.
* The "13" (Countdown): Indicates the trend is statistically complete and a reversal is highly probable.
The Actionable Strategy (The PyraTime Rule)
This indicator is designed to be your Exit Tool. Use it to determine when to take profit from an existing trade.
* Example: You enter Long at the GPM Time Line. When the PyraTD prints a Red 9 or Red 13, you take profit immediately.
Final Note
Use the integrated visibility settings to turn off signals (e.g., hide 9s or Sells) to customize the view to your preferred trading style.

Bitcoin Power Law Deviation Z-ScoreIntroduction While standard price charts show Bitcoin's exponential growth, it can be difficult to gauge exactly how "overheated" or "cheap" the asset is relative to its historical trend.
This indicator strips away the price action to visualize pure Deviation. It compares the current price to the Bitcoin Power Law "Fair Value" model and plots the result as a normalized Z-Score. This creates a clean oscillator that makes it easy to identify historical cycle tops and bottoms without the noise of a log-scale chart.
How to Read This Indicator The oscillator centers around a zero-line, which represents the mathematical "Fair Value" of the network. 0.0 (Center Line): Price is exactly at the Power Law fair value. Positive Values (+1 to +5): Price is trading at a premium. Historically, values above 4.0 have coincided with cycle peaks (Red Zones). Negative Values (-1 to -3): Price is trading at a discount. Historically, values below -1.0 have been excellent accumulation zones (Green/Blue Zones).
The Math Behind the Model This script uses the same physics-based Power Law parameters as the popular overlay charts: Formula: Price = A * (days since genesis)^b Slope (b): 5.78 Amplitude (A): 1.45 x 10^-17 The "Z-Score" is calculated by taking the logarithmic difference between the actual price and the model price, divided by a standard scaling factor (0.18 log steps).
How to Use Cycle Analysis: Use this tool to spot macro-extremes. Unlike RSI or MACD which reset frequently, this oscillator provides a multi-year view of market sentiment. Confluence: This tool works best when paired with the main "Power Law Rainbow" chart overlay to confirm whether price is hitting major resistance or support bands.

Bitcoin Power Law Zones (Dunk)Introduction When viewed on a standard linear chart, Bitcoin’s long-term price action can appear chaotic and exponential. However, when analyzed through the lens of physics and network growth models, a distinct structure emerges.
This indicator implements the Bitcoin Power Law , a mathematical model that suggests Bitcoin’s price evolves in a straight line when plotted against time on a "log-log" scale. By calculating parallel bands around this regression line, we create a "Rainbow" of valuation zones that help investors visualize whether the asset is historically overheated, undervalued, or sitting at fair value.
The Math Behind the Model The Power Law dictates that price scales with time according to the formula: Price = A * (days since genesis)^b
This script uses the specific parameters popularized by recent physics-based analyses of the network: Slope (b): 5.78 (Representing the scaling law of the network adoption). Amplitude (A): 1.45 x 10^-17 (The intercept coefficient).
While simple moving averages react to price, this model is predictive based on time and network growth physics, providing a long-term "gravity" center for the asset.
Guide to the Valuation Zones
Upper Bands (Red/Orange): Extr. Overvalued, High Premium, Overvalued. Historically, these zones have marked cycle peaks where price moved too far, too fast ahead of the network's steady growth. The Baseline (Black Line): Fair Value. The mathematical mean of the Power Law. Price has historically oscillated around this line, treating it as a center of gravity. Lower Bands (Green/Blue): Undervalued, Discount, Deep Discount. These zones represent periods where the market price has historically lagged behind the network's intrinsic value, often marking accumulation phases.
Note: The lowest theoretical tiers ("Bitcoin Dead") have been trimmed from this chart to focus on relevant historical support levels.
How to Use Logarithmic Scale: You MUST set your chart to "Log" scale (bottom right of the TradingView window) for this indicator to function correctly. On a linear chart, the bands will appear to curve upwards aggressively; on a Log chart, they will appear as smooth, parallel channels. Timeframe: This is a macro-economic indicator. It is best viewed on Daily or Weekly timeframes. Overlay Labels: The indicator includes dynamic labels on the right-side axis, allowing you to instantly see the current price requirements for each valuation zone without manually tracing lines.

SNP420/RSI_GOD_KOMPLEXRSI_GOD_KOMPLEX is a multi–timeframe RSI scanner for TradingView that displays a compact table in the top-right corner of the chart. For each timeframe (1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, 1d) it tracks the fast RSI line (not the smoothed/main one) and marks BUY in green when RSI crosses up through 30 (leaving oversold territory) and SELL in red when RSI crosses down through 70 (leaving overbought territory), always using only closed candles for reliable, non-repainting signals. The indicator remembers the last valid signal per timeframe, so the table always shows the most recent directional impulse from RSI across all selected timeframes on the same instrument.

HTF FVG + SessionsThis indicator combines multi-timeframe FVG A–C detection with intraday session boxes on a single chart.
It automatically finds bullish and bearish Fair Value Gaps on 15m, 30m, 1H, 4H, 1D and 1W timeframes.
Fresh FVGs are drawn in a transparent gold color, then dynamically shrink as price trades back into the gap.
Once price fully fills the gap, the FVG box and its label are automatically removed from the chart.
After the first touch, each FVG changes to a per-timeframe gray shade, making overlapping HTF gaps easy to see.
You can toggle each timeframe on/off and also globally enable/disable all FVGs from the settings panel.
Session boxes highlight Asia, London, NY AM, NY Lunch and NY PM using soft colored rectangles.
Each session box is plotted from the high to the low of that session and labeled with its name in white text.
A global “Show all session boxes” switch allows you to quickly hide or display the session structure.
This tool is designed for traders who want to combine FVG liquidity maps with clear intraday session context.

🎓 UNDERSTANDING THE METHODOLOGY
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
This indicator is built on three core concepts:
1. ORDER FLOW THEORY
Markets move between premium (expensive) and discount (cheap) zones. Smart money accumulates in discount zones and distributes in premium zones. This indicator identifies these zones automatically.
2. ADAPTIVE TREND FOLLOWING
Unlike fixed-period moving averages, the Elite Trend Engine adjusts to current market volatility, providing more accurate trend signals in both trending and ranging conditions.
3. CONFLUENCE-BASED ENTRIES
Signals only trigger when multiple conditions align:
- Price in correct zone (premium for shorts, discount for longs)
- Trend confirmation (cloud color matches direction)
- Volume validation (spike or climax present)
- Price action strength (strong rejection candles)
This multi-layer approach dramatically reduces false signals.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🔔 ALERT SETUP
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
This indicator includes 5 alert types:
1. Long Signal → Triggers when buy conditions met
2. Short Signal → Triggers when sell conditions met
3. Volume Climax → Warns of pot
Trendshift [CHE]Trendshift — First-Shift Regime Turns with Premium/Discount Context
Summary
Trendshift highlights the first confirmed directional structure shift in price and overlays a premium or discount context based on the most recent structural range. It identifies the major swing levels, detects a regime transition when price closes beyond these levels with optional ATR-based conviction, and marks only the first shift per direction to reduce repetition and noise. The indicator then establishes a premium or discount band around the break and tints the background when price operates in either region. This produces a clean regime-aware view that emphasizes only the earliest actionable turn while maintaining contextual bias information.
Motivation: Why this design?
Conventional swing-based structure tools often fire repeated signals after each minor break, especially in volatile environments. This leads to cluttered charts and little informational value. Trendshift focuses on the core trading need: isolating the first confirmed change in directional structure and providing a premium or discount context after the break. By limiting signals to the initial flip and suppressing further markers until direction reverses again, the script reduces noise and highlights only the structural event that materially matters. The band logic further addresses the challenge of distinguishing contextual extremes and avoiding trades taken too late after a shift.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline reference: Most structure indicators repeatedly plot every new break of a swing high or swing low.
Differences:
Only the first confirmed bullish or bearish shift is plotted until the opposite direction occurs.
ATR-filtered breakout validation to reduce false breaks during volatility spikes.
A reduced premium and discount band derived from the breakout candle and prior swing structure.
Tinted background for contextual positioning rather than explicit entry signals.
Practical effect:
Fewer but more meaningful shift markers.
Clear visual context of where price operates relative to the structural band.
Cleaner regime transitions and less chart clutter.
How it works (technical)
The indicator continuously evaluates major swing highs and lows using a symmetric window length. When a swing is confirmed, the script stores its price and bar index. A structure shift occurs when price closes beyond the most recent major swing in the opposite direction. Optional ATR filtering requires the breakout distance to exceed an ATR-scaled threshold.
Upon a confirmed shift, the script sets a regime state that remains active until a new shift or an optional timeout. It also establishes a structural band anchored between the breakout candle extremum and the prior opposite swing. The band informs the premium and discount boundaries, each representing a quarter subdivision.
Only the first shift event per direction generates a visual triangle marker. The band is validated by comparing its height to ATR to avoid extremely narrow structures. Background tinting activates whenever price resides within the premium or discount zones. Persistent variables maintain previous structural states and prevent re-triggering until direction reverses.
Parameter Guide
Swing length (default 5): Controls the number of bars used on each side of a swing. Smaller values are more reactive; larger values reduce noise.
Use ATR filter (default true): Requires breakout strength beyond the swing to exceed an ATR-scaled threshold. Disabling increases signal frequency.
ATR length (default 14): Controls volatility estimation for breakout filtering and band validation.
Break ATR multiplier (default 1.0): Higher values require stronger breakouts, reducing false shifts.
Enable framework (default true): Activates the premium and discount context logic.
Persist band on timeout (default true): Retains the current band after a regime timeout.
Min band size ATR mult (default 0.5): Rejects extremely small bands and prevents unrealistic tinting.
Regime timeout bars (default 500): Resets the regime after extended inactivity.
Invert colors (default false): Swaps premium and discount tint color assignments.
Show zone tint (default true): Toggles background shading.
Show shift markers (default true): Enables or disables the first-shift triangles.
Reading & Interpretation
A green or red tint signals that price is operating in the discount or premium region of the most recent structural band. These regions are derived from the breakout event and the prior swing. A green triangle below a bar indicates the first bullish structure shift after a bearish regime. A red triangle above a bar indicates the first bearish shift after a bullish regime. No further markers appear until direction reverses. When tint is active, price location within the band offers simple contextual bias without providing explicit entries.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Treat the first bullish marker as the earliest confirmation of a potential up-regime and the first bearish marker for a potential down-regime. Use price location relative to the premium and discount zones as context for continuation or mean-reversion setups.
Structure-based execution: Combine with simple swing highs and lows to refine entry points within discount after a bullish shift or within premium after a bearish shift.
Higher-timeframe overlays: Apply the indicator on higher timeframes to define macro structure, then trade on lower timeframes using the band as a contextual anchor.
Risk management: When price stays in premium during a bearish regime or in discount during a bullish regime, consider protective actions or position management adjustments.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
The script uses only confirmed swing points and closed-bar conditions, so repainting from future bars does not occur except the inherent delay of pivot confirmation. No higher-timeframe security calls are used, avoiding HTF repaint paths.
Performance impact is minimal because the script uses no loops or arrays and relies on persistent variables. The maximum bars back setting is five-thousand, required for swing lookback. Known limitations include quiet behavior during long consolidations, occasional delayed recognition of shifts due to swing confirmation, and limited effectiveness during large market gaps where extremum logic may be distorted.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tunin g
Increase the swing length for smoother trend shifts and fewer signals.
Decrease the swing length for more sensitivity.
Raise the ATR breakout multiplier to reduce noise in volatile markets.
Lower the band size requirement to make premium and discount zones more active on slower markets.
Extend the regime timeout for slow-moving assets.
