2. Add to breakout point (accumulation)
Breakout at 120 + 20 = Target: 140
3. Or subtract from breakdown (distribution)
Breakdown at 100 - 20 = Target: 80
```
### Multiple Targets
- **Conservative:** 1x range height (100% probability reached)
- **Moderate:** 1.5x range height (70% probability)
- **Aggressive:** 2x range height (40% probability)

## WYCKOFF METHOD THEORY
### The Three Fundamental Laws
#### 1. **Law of Supply and Demand**
- Price rises when demand exceeds supply
- Price falls when supply exceeds demand
- The indicator tracks volume vs price movement to identify imbalances
#### 2. **Law of Cause and Effect**
- A period of accumulation (cause) leads to markup (effect)
- A period of distribution (cause) leads to markdown (effect)
- Trading ranges build "cause" for future price movement
#### 3. **Law of Effort vs Result**
- **Effort** = Volume (energy put into the market)
- **Result** = Price movement (spread of the bar)
- High effort with low result = potential reversal
- Low effort with high result = trend weakness
### The Five Phases
#### **ACCUMULATION CYCLE**
**Phase A: Stopping the Downtrend**
- Preliminary Support (PS): First sign of buying
- Selling Climax (SC): Panic selling exhaustion
- Automatic Rally (AR): Bounce from SC
- Secondary Test (ST): Test of SC low on lower volume
**Phase B: Building the Cause**
- Trading range develops
- Supply being absorbed by composite operator
- Multiple tests of support and resistance
- Volume generally decreases
**Phase C: The Test (Spring)**
- False breakdown below support
- Traps late sellers
- Quick reversal on low volume
- Last chance to accumulate before markup
**Phase D: Dominance Emerges**
- Sign of Strength (SOS): Break above resistance
- Last Point of Support (LPS): Pullback opportunity
- Backup (BU): Final consolidation
- Demand clearly exceeds supply
**Phase E: Markup**
- New uptrend established
- Price moves rapidly higher
- Phase E can last months/years
- Original trading range becomes support
#### **DISTRIBUTION CYCLE**
**Phase A: Stopping the Uptrend**
- Preliminary Supply (PSY): First sign of selling
- Buying Climax (BC): Euphoric buying exhaustion
- Automatic Reaction (AR): Sharp selloff from BC
- Secondary Test (ST): Test of BC high on lower volume
**Phase B: Building the Cause**
- Trading range at top
- Demand being absorbed by composite operator
- Multiple tests of support and resistance
**Phase C: The Test (UTAD)**
- Upthrust After Distribution
- False breakout above resistance
- Traps late buyers
- Quick reversal
**Phase D: Dominance Emerges**
- Sign of Weakness (SOW): Break below support
- Last Point of Supply (LPSY): Rally opportunity to exit
- Supply clearly exceeds demand
**Phase E: Markdown**
- New downtrend established
- Price moves rapidly lower
- Original trading range becomes resistance

## TRADING STRATEGY EXAMPLES
### Strategy 1: Accumulation Range Breakout
**Setup:**
1. Identify trading range (blue background in Phase B)
2. Wait for Spring or Test (Phase C)
3. Wait for SOS breakout (Phase D)
**Entry:**
- Option A: Buy on SOS breakout
- Option B: Wait for LPS pullback (better risk/reward)
**Stop Loss:**
- Below the spring low or trading range bottom
**Target:**
- Measure height of trading range (cause)
- Project upward from breakout point (effect)
- Minimum target = range height
**Example:**
```
Trading Range: 100 to 120 (20 point range)
SOS Breakout at: 120
Target: 120 + 20 = 140 minimum
```
### Strategy 2: Distribution Range Breakdown
**Setup:**
1. Identify trading range after uptrend
2. Wait for UTAD (Phase C)
3. Wait for SOW breakdown (Phase D)
**Entry:**
- Option A: Sell on SOW breakdown
- Option B: Wait for LPSY rally (better risk/reward)
**Stop Loss:**
- Above the UTAD high or trading range top
**Target:**
- Measure height of trading range
- Project downward from breakdown point
- Minimum target = range height
### Strategy 3: Spring Trading
**Setup:**
1. Strong downtrend followed by range
2. Price breaks below range bottom
3. Volume is LOW on breakdown
4. Price quickly reverses and closes above support
**Entry:**
- When candle closes above support level
- Or on retest of support
**Stop Loss:**
- Below spring low (usually tight)
**Target:**
- Top of trading range
- Previous swing high
**Risk/Reward:**
- Typically 1:3 or better
### Strategy 4: Smart Money Tracking
**Setup:**
1. Look for 💰 symbols in demand zones
2. Multiple accumulation signals (PS, SC, ST, Test)
3. Volume decreasing during range
**Entry:**
- At next demand zone test
- On SOS breakout
**Confirmation:**
- Background turning green (Phase D/E)
- Table shows "BULLISH" bias
### Strategy 5: VSA Reversal
**Setup:**
1. Strong trend in place
2. Stopping Volume (SV) appears at extreme
3. Followed by No Demand (ND) or No Supply (NS)
**Entry:**
- When trend breaks down/up
- On retest of extreme
**Example (Bullish):**
```
Downtrend → Stopping Volume → No Supply → Up bar
Entry: Buy when price moves above SV bar
```

## COMMON PATTERNS
### Pattern 1: Classic Accumulation
```
Phase A: Downtrend → PS → SC → AR → ST
Phase B: Range building (4-12 weeks typical)
Phase C: Spring (false breakdown)
Phase D: SOS → LPS → BU
Phase E: Markup (new uptrend)
```
**What to do:**
- Mark the range boundaries
- Wait for spring
- Buy on LPS or SOS
- Hold through markup
### Pattern 2: Classic Distribution
```
Phase A: Uptrend → PSY → BC → AR → ST
Phase B: Range building (topping process)
Phase C: UTAD (false breakout)
Phase D: SOW → LPSY
Phase E: Markdown (new downtrend)
```
**What to do:**
- Mark the range boundaries
- Wait for UTAD
- Sell on LPSY or SOW
- Stay out during markdown
### Pattern 3: Re-Accumulation
```
Uptrend → Trading Range → Spring → Uptrend continues
```
- Occurs during existing uptrend
- Shorter accumulation period
- Often no clear SC (trend is already up)
- Spring is the key signal
### Pattern 4: Re-Distribution
```
Downtrend → Trading Range → UTAD → Downtrend continues
```
- Occurs during existing downtrend
- Shorter distribution period
- Often no clear BC (trend is already down)
- UTAD is the key signal
### Pattern 5: Failed Breakout
**Bullish Failed Breakout:**
```
Range → Breakdown → Immediate reversal (Spring)
```
- Price breaks support
- Volume is LOW
- Immediate strong reversal
- Very bullish
**Bearish Failed Breakout:**
```
Range → Breakout → Immediate reversal (UTAD)
```
- Price breaks resistance
- Volume may be high initially
- Quick rejection and reversal
- Very bearish

- Many false signals
- Use daily chart for context
**Golden Rule:** Always check higher timeframe first!
---
## MULTI-TIMEFRAME ANALYSIS
### Top-Down Approach (Recommended)
1. **Weekly Chart** - Identify major trend and phase
2. **Daily Chart** - Find current accumulation/distribution
3. **4H Chart** - Identify entry timing
4. **Entry Timeframe** - Execute trade
### Example Analysis:
**Weekly:** Phase E Markup (bullish)
**Daily:** Phase B Re-accumulation
**4-Hour:** Spring detected
**Action:** Buy on daily LPS

- Look for multiple signal convergence
### Issue: Can't See Background Colors
**Solution:**
- Check "Show Phases" is enabled
- Increase monitor brightness
- Colors are subtle by design (not to obscure price)
### Issue: Volume Shows Incorrectly
**Solution:**
- Ensure volume data is available for your symbol
- Some symbols have poor volume data
- Forex spot pairs have no real volume
- Use futures or stock markets for best results
### Issue: No Trading Range Detected
**Solution:**
- Market may be trending strongly
- Trading range might be too small
- Wait for price to consolidate
- Not all markets have clear ranges

## ADVANCED TIPS
### 1. Count Point & Figure Charts
- Wyckoff used P&F to measure "cause"
- Width of range × height = minimum move target
- Longer accumulation = larger markup
### 2. Watch for Absorption
- High volume + narrow spread = someone absorbing
- In downtrend = accumulation
- In uptrend = distribution
### 3. Multiple Timeframe Springs
- Spring on daily + spring on weekly = very strong
- Increases probability significantly
### 4. Failed Signals Are Signals Too
- Failed spring = weakness, expect lower
- Failed UTAD = strength, expect higher
### 5. Context is King
- Don't buy during Phase E Markdown
- Don't sell during Phase E Markup
- Respect the major trend
### 6. Volume Precedes Price
- Study volume changes first
- Price follows volume
- Decreasing volume in range = building energy
### 7. Composite Operator Mindset
- Think like institutions
- Where would smart money buy/sell?
- They need liquidity (retail traders)
---
## RISK MANAGEMENT
### Position Sizing
**Conservative:**
- Risk 1% per trade
- Wider stops at range boundaries
**Moderate:**
- Risk 1-2% per trade
- Stops below spring/above UTAD
**Aggressive:**
- Risk 2-3% per trade
- Tight stops
- Higher win rate needed
### Stop Loss Placement
**Accumulation:**
- Below spring low
- Below trading range bottom
- Below demand zone
**Distribution:**
- Above UTAD high
- Above trading range top
- Above supply zone
### Take Profit Strategy
**Method 1: Measured Move**
- Range height = minimum target
- 2x range height = extended target
**Method 2: Fibonacci Extensions**
- 1.0 = range height
- 1.618 = extended target
- 2.618 = maximum target
**Method 3: Trail the Stop**
- Move stop to breakeven at 1R
- Trail under swing lows in markup
- Lock in profits progressively
---
## BACKTESTING CHECKLIST
Before trading with real money:
- Backtest on 50+ historical examples

## COMPOSITE OPERATOR PSYCHOLOGY
### What Smart Money Does (Follow Them)
**Accumulation:**
```
1. Create fear (PS, SC)
2. Shake out weak hands (Spring)
3. Absorb supply quietly (Phase B)
4. Test for remaining supply (Test)
5. Mark it up (SOS → Phase E)
💰 They buy LOW when retail panics
```
**Distribution:**
```
1. Create euphoria (PSY, BC)
2. Trap late buyers (UTAD)
3. Distribute to buyers (Phase B)
4. Test for remaining demand (ST)
5. Mark it down (SOW → Phase E)
💰 They sell HIGH when retail buys
```
### Where to Look for Smart Money
```
💰 Buy signals appear at:
- Demand zones (green boxes)
- Springs and shakeouts
- Tests of support
- After selling climax
💰 Sell signals appear at:
- Supply zones (red boxes)
- UTAD and upthrusts
- Weak rallies (LPSY)
- After buying climax
```

## PRACTICE EXERCISES
### Exercise 1: Identify the Phase
Look at any chart and ask:
1. Is there a trading range? (Phase B likely)
2. Did we just stop a trend? (Phase A)
3. Was there a spring/UTAD? (Phase C)
4. Is there a breakout? (Phase D)
5. Is trend running? (Phase E)
### Exercise 2: Volume Analysis
For each bar, note:
- Volume level (High/Normal/Low)
- Spread (Wide/Normal/Narrow)
- Effort vs Result (Matching? Diverging?)
### Exercise 3: Find Historical Springs
Go back 6 months:
- Mark all springs you can find
- Note the setup before each
- Track what happened after
- Calculate win rate

XAUUSD Session Move Stats (Last 14 Days)This indicator analyzes Gold (XAUUSD) session behavior over the last 14 days and calculates how price typically moves during the Asia, London, and New York sessions.
For each session, it shows:
Average Max Up (%) – how far price moves up from session open
Average Max Down (%) – how far price moves down from session open
Average Net Close (%) – where price typically finishes relative to the session open
The data is calculated session-by-session and displayed in a table, helping traders understand session bias, volatility tendencies, and directional behavior.
Best used on intraday timeframes for session-based analysis and contextual trade planning (signals only, no automated trades).
Volatility High/Low Projection (PHOD / PLOD)AP Capital – Volatility + High/Low Projection
This indicator is designed to identify high-probability intraday turning points by combining daily range statistics, session behaviour, and volatility context into a single clean framework.
It is built for index, forex, and metals traders who want structure, not noise.
🔹 Core Features
1️⃣ Potential High of Day (PHOD) & Potential Low of Day (PLOD)
The indicator highlights likely intraday extremes based on:
Session timing (Asia, London, New York)
Current day volatility vs historical averages
Prior day expansion or compression behaviour
Each level is displayed with:
A clear label (PHOD / PLOD)
A forward-extending box acting as a live Point of Interest (POI)
Automatic invalidation when price breaks the zone
2️⃣ Volatility & Range Context (Info Panel)
A compact information panel in the top-right corner provides real-time context without cluttering the chart:
20-Day Average Range
% of the average range already used today
Range status (NORMAL / EXHAUSTED)
Average session ranges for:
Asia
London
New York
This allows traders to immediately assess whether price is:
Early in the day with room to trend
Statistically stretched and prone to reversal
Over-extended where breakout chasing is risky
3️⃣ Session-Aware Logic
The model respects how markets behave across the trading day:
Asia favours accumulation and potential lows
London provides expansion
New York often delivers distribution or exhaustion
This prevents random high/low marking and focuses only on structurally meaningful levels.
🧠 How to Use
Use PHOD / PLOD boxes as reaction zones, not blind entries
Combine with your own confirmation (structure break, momentum, volume, EMA reclaim, etc.)
Avoid chasing trades when the Range Status = EXHAUSTED
Particularly effective on 15m – 1h timeframes
⚠️ Important Notes
This indicator does not repaint
It is contextual, not a buy/sell signal generator
Best used as part of a complete trading plan
📈 Suitable Markets
XAUUSD (Gold)
Indices (NASDAQ, S&P 500, DAX)
Major FX pairs

FOMC Sweep Reaction AP Capital – FOMC Sweep Reaction v1.0
AP Capital – FOMC Sweep Reaction v1.0 is a news-reaction and liquidity-based trading tool designed specifically to track and trade FOMC volatility on Gold (XAUUSD) and other highly reactive instruments.
The indicator focuses on liquidity sweeps, structure breaks, and EMA reclaims that commonly occur around Federal Reserve interest-rate decisions and Powell speeches, helping traders identify high-probability reversal or continuation moves after the initial spike.
🔍 What This Indicator Detects
This tool highlights the most repeatable FOMC behaviours observed across multiple months of broker data:
• Sweeps of previous day’s high or low
• Stop-hunt wicks into liquidity pools
• EMA13 reclaim after the news spike
• Break and close beyond short-term structure
• Momentum shift following volatility exhaustion
The goal is not to predict the news, but to react to confirmed price behaviour after liquidity has been taken.
📌 Core Features
• FOMC Sweep Detection
Identifies aggressive wicks into prior highs/lows during news volatility
• EMA Reclaim Confirmation
Uses EMA13 to validate momentum shift after the sweep
• Market Structure Awareness
Filters reactions that fail to break structure to avoid false reversals
• Session-Aligned Logic
Designed around London → NY → FOMC release timing
• Clean Visuals
Minimal chart clutter for fast decision-making during volatile conditions
🧠 How to Use
Wait for FOMC release / Powell speech
Allow price to sweep previous liquidity (PDH / PDL / local extremes)
Observe reclaim of EMA13
Enter only after structure confirmation
Manage trade using EMA trailing or structure-based exits
⚠️ This is a reaction system, not a prediction tool.
📊 Best Use Cases
• XAUUSD (Gold)
• NASDAQ / US indices
• High-impact macro news events
• 5-min to 15-min timeframes
⚠️ Important Notes
• News volatility is extreme — risk management is essential
• Not designed for low-volatility or ranging markets

VixTrixVixTrix - Because markets move in both directions.
VixTrix was born from a fundamental limitation in traditional volatility indicators: they only measure downside panic, completely missing the greed-driven extremes that form market tops.
How It Works:
Dual-Component Analysis:
vixBear = Panic selling intensity (distance from recent highs)
vixBull = FOMO buying intensity (distance from recent lows)
Oscillator = vixBear - vixBull = Net fear/greed imbalance
When the oscillator is positive, fear dominates (potential bottom forming). When negative, greed dominates (potential top forming).
Professional-Grade Filtering:
The magic happens with the symmetric RMS (Root Mean Square) bands. Unlike fixed percentage bands or standard deviation, RMS:
Creates mathematically symmetric positive/negative thresholds
Naturally adapts to changing volatility regimes
Provides statistical significance to extremes
VixTrix also adds selectable MA smoothing for the RMS calculation:
WMA (default): Balanced – middle-ground approach
VWMA: Volume-weighted – filters low-volume noise
EMA: Responsive – catches quick reversals
SMA: Stable – for swing trading
HMA: Fast and smooth – ideal for day trading
Signals require triple confirmation:
Statistical Extreme: Oscillator beyond RMS band
Price Action Confirmation: Correct candle color (bullish for bottoms, bearish for tops)
Momentum Continuation: Oscillator still moving toward extreme (exhaustion)
This multi-filter approach reduces premature entries and false signals while maintaining early positioning at potential reversal points.
Why This Matters for Your Trading:
In bull markets, traditional fear indicators sit near zero, giving no warning of impending tops.
VixTrix identifies when greed becomes excessive – when FOMO buying reaches statistical extremes that often precede corrections.
In range-bound markets, VixTrix excels at identifying overreactions in both directions, providing high-probability mean reversion opportunities.
During crashes, it captures the panic selling with the same precision as VixFix, but with better timing through its momentum confirmation.
VixTrix spots continuations through:
"No Signal" = Healthy Trend – Oscillator stays between RMS bands (no exhaustion)
Failed Extremes – Touches band but no triple confirmation = trend likely continues
Hidden Divergence – Price makes higher low while oscillator makes shallower low = uptrend continues
Controlled Emotions – Oscillator negative but not extreme in uptrends (greed present but not excessive)
Key Insight: When VixTrix doesn't give a signal during a pullback, institutions aren't panicking – they're just pausing before resuming the trend.
Green columns = Bullish exhaustion (potential bottoms)
Red columns = Bearish exhaustion (potential tops)
Golden RMS bands = Dynamic thresholds adapting to current volatility
Background highlights = Active signal conditions
The Result: A professional-grade oscillator that works in all market conditions – trending up, trending down, or ranging – by measuring the complete emotional spectrum driving price action.
Optimal Daily MA Suite [MTF]Title: Optimal Daily MA Suite
Description: This is a comprehensive Multi-Timeframe (MTF) analysis suite designed to streamline chart layouts. Instead of loading multiple separate indicators to track various trend lines, this single tool allows traders to overlay higher-timeframe Moving Averages and key support/resistance levels directly onto their intraday charts.
Utility & Workflow: Swing traders and day traders often need to monitor "Big Picture" Daily Moving Averages (like the Daily 200 SMA or Daily 50 EMA) while executing trades on lower timeframes like the 15m or 1H. This tool automates that process, ensuring the major trend context is always visible without cluttering the indicator list.
Key Features:
Multi-Timeframe Engine: By default, all MAs are calculated on the Daily ("D") timeframe, regardless of the chart's current timeframe. This creates a stable "anchor" for trend analysis. The timeframe is fully customizable in the settings (e.g., set to "W" for Weekly analysis).
10 Customizable Slots: Toggle up to 10 different Moving Averages on/off individually.
Flexible Calculation Types: Supports SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, RMA (SMMA), and SWMA for every single line.
Trend Cloud Crossovers: Includes two dedicated "Cloud" setups to visualize crossovers (e.g., Golden Cross or Death Cross) with fill shading between the fast and slow lines.
Price Action Crossovers: Optional markers to highlight when the closing price crosses specific MAs.
Contextual Levels: Includes Previous Day High (PDH) and Previous Day Low (PDL) markers for immediate intraday support/resistance context.
How to Use:
Settings: Open the settings menu to select your "Indicator Timeframe" (Default: Daily).
Customization: Enable only the MAs relevant to your strategy (e.g., Enable MA 8 for the 50 SMA and MA 10 for the 200 SMA).
Clouds: Use the "Crossover Set" inputs to define a Bullish/Bearish trend cloud between two moving averages of your choice.
Technical Note: This script uses request.security with lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off to ensure no repainting of historical data while providing accurate higher-timeframe values on closed bars.

BALANCED Strategy: Intraday Pro + Smart DashboardWelcome to the BALANCED Strategy: Intraday Pro.
This all-in-one indicator is designed for Intraday traders looking to capture trend movements while effectively filtering out sideways market noise. It combines the power of Supertrend for direction, EMA 100 for the baseline trend, and rigorous validation via RSI and ADX.
The script also integrates a complete Risk Management system with targets based on the Golden Ratio (Fibonacci) and a real-time Dashboard.
⏳ Recommended Timeframes
This algorithm is optimized for Intraday volatility:
M5 (5 Minutes) ⭐️: Ideal for quick Scalping. The ADX filter is crucial here to avoid false signals.
M15 (15 Minutes) 🏆: The "Sweet Spot." It offers the best balance between signal frequency and trend reliability.
M30 / H1: For a "Swing Intraday" approach—calmer, fewer signals, but higher precision.
Not recommended for M1 (1 Minute) with default settings (too much noise).
🚀 How It Works
The algorithm follows a strict 3-step logic to generate high-quality signals:
1. Trend Identification (The Engine)
Supertrend: Determines the immediate direction.
EMA 100: Acts as a background trend filter. We only buy above and sell below the EMA.
2. Noise Filtering (Safety)
ADX (Average Directional Index): The signal is only validated if there is sufficient volatility (Configurable threshold, default 12) to avoid "chop markets" (flat markets).
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Strict momentum filter. Buy only if RSI > 50, Sell if RSI < 50.
3. Entry Confirmation (The Trigger)
The script doesn't just rely on a crossover. It waits for "Price Action" confirmation: the candle must close higher than the previous one (for Long) or lower (for Short) to validate the entry.
🛡️ Risk Management (Money Management)
This is the core strength of this tool. Upon signal validation, the script automatically calculates and plots:
Stop Loss (SL): Based on volatility (ATR). It places the stop at the recent Low/High with a safety padding.
Take Profit (TP): Two modes available:
Fibonacci Mode (Default): Targets the 1.618 extension (Golden Ratio) of the risk taken.
Fixed Ratio Mode: Targets a manual Risk/Reward ratio (e.g., 2.0).
📊 The Dashboard
Located at the bottom right, the smart dashboard provides vital info at a glance:
Signal Time: To check if the alert is fresh.
Type (LONG/SHORT): Color-coded (Green/Pink).
Tech Data: RSI and ADX values at the moment of the signal.
Exact Prices: Entry Level, Target (TP), and Stop Loss (SL).
⚙️ Configurable Settings
Sensitivity: Adjust the Supertrend factor (Default 2.0).
Filters: Toggle the RSI filter ON/OFF or adjust the ADX threshold.
Execution: Choose between Fibonacci Target (1.618) or a Manual Ratio.
⚠️ Disclaimer: This tool is a technical decision aid and does not constitute financial investment advice. Always use prudent risk management and backtest the indicator on your preferred assets before live use.
Smart Money Alpha Signals (Performance Dashboard) Smart Money Alpha Signals: Identifying Market Leaders & Generating Alpha
GMP Alpha Signals (Global Market Performance Alpha) is a specialized analysis tool designed not merely to find stocks that are rising, but to identify "Alpha" assets—Market Leaders that defend their price or rise even under adverse conditions where the market index falls or consolidates.
This indicator visualizes the concept of Comparative Relative Strength (RS) and Smart Money accumulation patterns, helping traders capture profit opportunities even during bearish market phases.
Key Objectives (Purpose)
Alpha Capture: Identifying assets generating 'excess returns' that outperform the market Beta.
Smart Money Tracking: Detecting traces of 'institutional buying' and 'accumulation' that defend prices during index plunges.
Decoupling Identification: Spotting assets moving on independent catalysts or momentum, regardless of the broader market direction.
Stop Hunt Filtering: Distinguishing 'fake drops' where price dips temporarily, but Relative Strength remains intact.
Dashboard Guide
Interpretation of the information panel (Table) displayed on the chart.
Rel. Performance: Shows the excess return compared to the index over the set period. (Positive/Green = Stronger than the market).
Decoupling Strength: The correlation coefficient with the index. Lower values (0 or negative) indicate movement independent of market risk.
Bullish: The count/rate of rising or limiting losses when the index drops sharply (e.g., < -0.5%). (Gold = Market Crash Leader).
Defended: The count/rate of holding support levels when the index shows mild weakness (e.g., < -0.05%). (Gold = Strong Accumulation).
Bench. Defense: The defense rate of the comparison benchmark (e.g., TSLA, ETH). Your target asset must be higher to be considered the sector leader.
Input Options & Settings Guide
You can optimize settings according to your trading style and asset class (Stocks/Crypto).
(1) Main Settings
Major Index: The baseline market index for comparison.
(US Stocks: NASDAQ:NDX or TVC:SPX / Crypto: BINANCE:BTCUSDT)
Benchmark Symbol: A competitor within the sector.
(e.g., Set NVDA when analyzing Semiconductor stocks).
Correlation Lookback: The lookback period for judging decoupling. (Default: 30)
Performance Lookback: The number of bars to calculate cumulative returns and defense rates. (Default: 60)
(2) Dashboard Thresholds
These settings define the criteria for what qualifies as "Defended" or "Bullish".
Performance (Max %): Used to find assets that haven't pumped yet. Signals trigger only when Alpha is below this value.
Defended Logic:
Index Drop Condition: The index must drop by at least this amount to start checking. (e.g., -0.05%)
Asset Buffer: How much the asset must outperform the index drop.
(Example: If Index drops -1.0% and Buffer is 0.2%, the asset must be at least -0.8% to count as 'Defended').
Bullish Logic: Measures resilience during steeper market dumps (e.g., -0.5% drop) compared to the Defended Logic.
Volume Settings: Decides whether to count Defended/Bullish instances only when accompanied by volume above the SMA.
(3) Signal Logic Settings (Crucial)
Customize conditions to trigger alerts. The choice between AND / OR is crucial.
AND: Condition must be met SIMULTANEOUSLY with other active conditions (Conservative/High Certainty).
OR: Condition triggers the signal INDEPENDENTLY (Aggressive/Opportunity Capture).
Performance: Is the relative performance within the threshold? (Basic Filter).
Decoupling: Has the correlation dropped? (Start of independent move).
Bullish Rate: Is the Bullish rate high during market dumps?
Defended Rate (High): (Recommended) Is there continuous price defense occurring? (Accumulation detection).
Defended Rate (Low): (Warning) Has the defense rate broken down? (For Stop Loss).
Defended > Benchmark: Is it stronger than the Benchmark (2nd tier)?
Volume Spike: Has volume surged compared to the average? (Institutional involvement).
RSI Oversold: Is it in oversold territory? (Counter-trend trading).
Decoupling Move: Does the current bar show the "Index Down / Asset Up" pattern?
Min USD Volume: Transaction value filter (To exclude low liquidity assets).
Open Range BreakoutOpen Range Breakout (ORB)
The Open Range Breakout (ORB) is a classic intraday strategy used across stocks, indices, FX and futures. It focuses on how price behaves during the first minutes of a major session, when liquidity and volatility are highest.
This indicator fully automates the ORB process with session detection, box drawing, breakout & retest logic, and final Buy/Sell signals.
Multi-Session Support
Choose between the three most important global opens:
Asia (Tokyo) – JPY pairs, Asian indices, gold, crypto
London – FX majors, European indices, strong volatility
New York – US indices, USD pairs, gold, oil, highest volume
The Opening Range is calculated only during the selected session.
ORB Range (5 / 15 / 30 min)
The indicator builds the ORB High/Low from the first X minutes of the session, draws the box, and waits for price action once the range is complete.
How It Works
ORB Window → High/Low of the opening minutes are recorded.
Breakout → Price closes above/below the ORB → “BREAKOUT” label.
Retest → Price returns to the ORB box → “RETEST” label.
Confirmation Levels Freeze → Upper/lower structure set.
Final Signal
Close above frozen upper level → BUY
Close below frozen lower level → SELL
This filters out false breakouts and provides structured continuation signals.
Alerts
Includes built-in alert conditions for:
ORB BUY Signal
ORB SELL Signal
Alerts trigger exactly when the Buy or Sell label appears.

Variance Ratio & Efficiency Ratio (Quant Lab)1️⃣ Variance Ratio (VR)
Formula:
VR ≈ Var(q-step returns) / (q × Var(1-step returns))
Interpretation:
• VR ≈ 1 → The market is like a random walk; neither trend nor mean-reversion is dominant.
• VR > 1 → Trend behavior is dominant.
• Trend-following systems (EMA, Supertrend, breakout) work better.
• VR < 1 → Mean-reversion is dominant.
• Range/reversal strategies (Z-score, Bollinger fade, RSI reversal) work better.
In short:
• VR > 1 → Trending market
• VR < 1 → Mean-reverting market
This tells you:
“Should I build a trend system or a mean-reversion system for this instrument?”
⸻
2️⃣ Efficiency Ratio (ER)
Formula logic:
ER = |Close_now – Close_n-bars-ago| / Σ|Close_i – Close_{i+1}|
In other words:
• Numerator → Net movement over N bars
• Denominator → Total noise over N bars
Interpretation:
• ER ≈ 1 → The price has moved in almost a straight line in one direction.
→ The trend is very efficient, noise is low.
• ER ≈ 0 → The price has fluctuated a lot but hasn't gone anywhere definitively.
→ A complete noise/range market.
This tells you:
“How clear is the trend in this last N bars, and how much noise is there?”
⸻
🔥 The intelligence provided by both together:
• VR > 1 and ER is high (0.6–1.0) →
➜ Strong, high-quality trend. Golden age for trend-following.
• VR > 1 but ER is low (0.2–0.4) →
➜ Trend exists but there is a lot of noise, many fake movements. • VR < 1 and ER is low →
➜ Net range / sideways market. Ideal for mean-reversion.
RSI Median DeviationRSI Median Deviation – Adaptive Statistical RSI for High-Probability Extremes
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum oscillator developed by J. Welles Wilder in 1978 to measure the magnitude of recent price changes and identify potential overbought or oversold conditions. It calculates the ratio of upward to downward price movements over a specified period, scaled to 0-100. However, standard RSI often relies on fixed thresholds like 70/30, which can produce unreliable signals in varying market regimes due to their lack of adaptability to the actual distribution of RSI values.
This indicator was developed because I needed a reliable tool for spotting intermediate high-probability bottoms and tops. Instead of arbitrary horizontal lines, it uses the RSI’s own historical median as a dynamic centerline and measures how far the current RSI deviates from that median over a chosen lookback period. The main signals are triggered only at 2 standard deviation (2σ) extremes — statistically rare events that occur roughly 5 % of the time under a normal distribution. I selected 2σ because it is extreme enough to be meaningful yet frequent enough for practical trading. For oversold signals I further require RSI to be below 42, a filter that significantly improved results in my mean-reversion tests (enter on oversold, exit on the first bar the condition is no longer true).
The combination of percentile median + standard deviation bands is deliberate: the median is far more robust to outliers than a simple average, while the SD bands automatically adjust to the current volatility of the RSI itself, producing adaptive envelopes that work equally well in ranging and trending markets.
Underlying Concepts and Calculations
Base RSI: RSI = 100 − (100 / (1 + RS)), RS = average gain / average loss (default length 10).
Percentile Median: 50th percentile of the last "N" RSI values (default 28 = 4 weeks)
→ dynamic, outlier-resistant centerline.
Standard Deviation Bands: rolling stdev of RSI (default length 27 = = 4 weeks (almost))
→ bands = median ± 1σ / 2σ.
Optional Dynamic MA Envelopes: user-selectable moving average (TEMA, WMA, etc., default WMA length 37) for additional momentum context.
Trend Bias Coloring
Independent of the statistical extremes, the RSI line itself is colored green when above the user-defined Long Threshold (default 60) and red when below the Short Threshold (default 47). This provides an instant bullish/bearish bias overlay similar to classic RSI usage, without interfering with the main 2σ extreme signals.
Extremes are highlighted with background color (green for oversold 2σ + RSI<42, magenta for overbought 2σ) and small diamond markers for ultra-extremes (RSI <25 or >85).
Originality and Development Rationale
The indicator was built and refined through extensive testing on dozens of assets including major cryptocurrencies:
(BTC, ETH, SOL, SUI, BNB, XRP, TRX, DOGE, LINK, PAXG, CVX, HYPE, VIRTUAL and many more),
the Magnificent 7 stocks,, QQQ, SPX, and gold.
Default parameters were chosen to deliver consistent profitability in simple mean-reversion setups while maximizing Sortino ratio and minimizing maximum drawdown across this broad universe — ensuring the settings are robust and not overfitted to any single instrument or timeframe.
How to Use It
Ideal for swing / position trading on the 1h to daily charts (the same defaults work).
Oversold (high-probability long): RSI crosses below lower 2σ band AND RSI < 42
→ green background
→ enter long, exit the first bar the condition disappears.
Overbought (high-probability short): RSI crosses above upper 2σ band
→ magenta background
→ enter short, exit on opposite signal or at median. (Shorts were not tested, it's only an idea)
Use the green/red RSI line coloring for quick trend context and to avoid fighting strong momentum.
Always confirm with price action and manage risk appropriately.

Multi-MA + RSI Pullback Strategy (Jordan)1️⃣ Strategy logic I’ll code
From your screenshots:
Indicators
• EMAs: 600 / 200 / 100 / 50
• RSI: length 6, levels 80 / 20
Rules (simplified so a script can handle them):
• Use a higher-timeframe trend filter (15m or 1h) using the EMAs.
• Take entries on the chart timeframe (you can use 1m or 5m).
• Long:
• Higher-TF trend is up.
• Price is pulling back into a zone (between 50 EMA and 100 EMA on the entry timeframe – this approximates your 50–61% retrace).
• RSI crosses below 20 (oversold).
• Short:
• Higher-TF trend is down.
• Price pulls back between 50 & 100 EMAs.
• RSI crosses above 80 (overbought).
• Exits: ATR-based stop + take-profit with adjustable R:R (2:1 or 3:1).
• Max 4 trades per day.
News filter & “only trade gold” you handle manually (run it on XAUUSD and avoid news times yourself – TradingView can’t read the economic calendar from code).

TDI Fibonacci Volatility Bands Candle Coloring [cryptalent]"This is an advanced Traders Dynamic Index (TDI) candle coloring system, designed for traders seeking precise dynamic analysis. Unlike traditional TDI, which typically relies on a 50 midline with a single standard deviation band (±1 SD), this indicator innovatively incorporates Fibonacci golden ratio multiples (1.618, 2.618, 3.618 times standard deviation) to create multi-layered dynamic bands. It precisely divides the RSI fast line (green line) position into five distinct strength zones, instantly reflecting them on the candle colors, allowing you to grasp market sentiment in real-time without switching to a sub-chart.
Core Calculation Logic:
RSI Period (default 20), Band Length (default 50), and Fast MA Smoothing Period (default 1) are all adjustable.
The midline is the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of RSI, with upper and lower bands calculated by multiplying Fibonacci multiples with Standard Deviation (STDEV), generating three dynamic band sets: 1.618, 2.618, and 3.618.
Traders can quickly identify the following scenarios:
Extreme Overbought Zone (Strong Bullish, Red): Fast line exceeds custom threshold (default 82) and breaks above the specified band (default 2.618). This often signals overheating, potentially a profit-taking point or reversal short entry, especially at trend tops.
Extreme Oversold Zone (Strong Bearish, Green): Fast line drops below custom threshold (default 28) and breaks below the specified band (default 2.618). This is a potential strong rebound starting point, ideal for bottom-fishing or long entries.
Medium Bullish Zone (Yellow): Fast line surpasses medium threshold (default 66) and stands above the specified band (default 1.618), indicating bullish dominance in trend continuation.
Medium Bearish Zone (Orange): Fast line falls below medium threshold (default 33) and breaks below the specified band (default 1.618), signaling bearish control in segment transitions.
Neutral Zone (No Color Change): Fast line within custom upper and lower limits (default 34~65), retaining original candle colors to avoid noise interference during consolidation.
Color priority logic flows from strong to weak (Extreme > Medium > Neutral), ensuring no conflicts. All parameters are highly customizable, including thresholds, band selections (1.618/2.618/3.618/Midline/None), color schemes, and even optional semi-transparent background coloring (default off, transparency 90%) for enhanced visual layering.
Applicable Scenarios:
Intraday Trading: Capture extreme color shifts as entry/exit signals.
Swing Trading: Use medium colors to confirm trend extensions.
Long-Term Trend Following: Filter noise in neutral zones to focus on major trends.
Supports various markets like forex, stocks, and cryptocurrencies. After installation, adjust parameters in settings to match your strategy, and combine with other indicators like moving averages or support/resistance for improved accuracy.
If you're a TDI enthusiast, this will make your trading more intuitive and efficient!
Intermarket Swing Projection [LuxAlgo]The Intermarket Swing Projection allows traders to plot price movement swings from any user-selected asset directly onto the chart in the form of zigzags and/or horizontal support and resistance levels.
This tool rescale the external asset price on the user chart, enabling traders to make direct comparisons.
It answers the question of how different the price behavior is between two assets, accounting for each asset's volatility.
🔶 USAGE
This tool is based on swing detection of two different assets: the chart and a user-selected asset. It allows traders to compare two assets on an equal footing while accounting for volatility and price behavior.
Traders can customize the detection by selecting a custom ticker, timeframe, the number of swings and length for swing detection. This makes the tool a Swiss army knife for asset comparison.
As we can see in the image below, the Show Last, Pivot Length, and Spread parameters are key to defining the final output of the tool.
"Show Last" defines how many pivots are displayed. "Pivot Length" is used for pivot detection; a larger value will detect larger market structures. "Spread" defines how far apart the horizontal levels will be from their original location in terms of volatility.
🔹 Comparing different assets
This image shows the Nasdaq 100 futures contract compared to four other futures contracts: S&P 500, gold, bitcoin, and euro/U.S. dollar.
Plotting all of these assets in Nasdaq 100 terms makes it easy to compare and analyze price behaviors and identify key levels.
In the top left chart, we have NQ vs. ES. It's no surprise that they are practically an exact match; a large portion of the S&P 500 is technology.
In the top right chart, NQ vs. GC, we see totally different behaviors. We can clearly see the summer consolidation in gold and the resumption of the uptrend, which took gold above 29,200 NQ points, up from 21,200.
In the bottom right chart, we see bitcoin making new highs, way above the Nasdaq in May, July, and October. However, the last high was way below the Nasdaq prices on October 27—the first lower high in a while. Sellers are pushing down.
Finally, the bottom left chart is NQ vs. 6E. We can see large volatility in the uptrend since February, with NQ unable to catch up until now. The last swing low was almost a match, and 6E is in a range.
As we can see, this tool allows us to perform intermarket analysis properly by accounting for each asset's volatility and price behavior. Then, we plot them on the same scale on equal terms, which makes performing this kind of analysis easy.
As we can see in the chart above, the assets are the same as in the previous image, but the timeframe is 1H with different settings.
Note the horizontal levels acting as support and resistance, as well as how NQ prices react to the zones marked with white circles. These levels are derived from custom assets selected by the user.
🔹 Displaying Elements
Zig-zag allows traders to clearly see the path that the selected asset's price took, as well as its turning points.
Horizontal levels are displayed from those turning points to the present and can be used as support or resistance. Traders can adjust the spread parameter in the settings panel to expand or contract those levels' volatility.
There are two color modes for the levels: average and pivots. In the first mode, green is used for levels below the average and red for levels above the average. The second uses green for swing lows and red for swing highs.
The backpaint feature is enabled by default and allows the swings to be displayed in the correct location. With this feature disabled, the swings will be displayed in the current location when a new swing is detected.
🔶 DETAILS
On a more technical note, the rescaling is formed by calculating three main elements from all the swings detected on the custom and chart assets:
The chart asset's average of all swing points
The chart asset's standard deviation of all swing points
The custom asset's z-score for each swing point
Then, the re-scaled swing point is calculated as the average plus the z-score multiplied by the standard deviation. This makes it possible to plot AAPL swings on an NQ chart, for example.
Thanks to re-scaling, we can directly compare the price behavior of two assets with different price ranges and volatility on the same chart.

Granger Causality Flow IndicatorGranger Causality Flow Indicator
█ OVERVIEW
The Granger Causality Flow Indicator is a statistical analysis tool designed to identify predictive relationships between two assets (Symbol X and Symbol Y). In econometrics, "Granger Causality" does not test for actual physical causation (e.g., rain causes mud); rather, it tests for predictive causality .
This script is designed to answer a specific question for traders: "Does the past price action of Asset X provide statistically significant information about the future price of Asset Y, beyond what is already contained in the past prices of Asset Y itself?"
This tool is particularly useful for Pairs Traders , Arbitrageurs , and Macro Analysts looking to identify lead-lag relationships between correlated assets (e.g., BTC vs. ETH, NASDAQ vs. SPY, or Gold vs. Silver).
█ CONCEPTS & CALCULATIONS
To determine if Symbol X "Granger-causes" Symbol Y, this script utilizes a variance-reduction approach based on Auto-Regressive (AR) models. Due to the runtime constraints of Pine Script™, we employ an optimized proxy for the standard Granger test using an AR(1) logic (looking back 1 period).
The calculation performs a comparative test over a rolling window (Default: 50 bars):
The Restricted Model (Baseline):
We attempts to predict the current value of Y using only the previous value of Y (Auto-Regression). We measure the error of this prediction (the "Residuals") and calculate the Variance of the Restricted Model (Var_R) .
The Unrestricted Model (Proxy):
We then test if the past value of X can explain the errors made by the Restricted Model. If X contains predictive power, including it should reduce the error variance. We calculate the remaining Variance of the Unrestricted Model (Var_UR) .
The GC Score:
The script calculates a score based on the ratio of variance reduction:
Score = 1 - (Var_UR / Var_R)
If the Score is High (> 0) : It implies that including X significantly reduced the prediction error for Y. Therefore, X "Granger-causes" Y.
If the Score is Low or 0 : It implies X added no predictive value.
█ HOW TO USE
This indicator is not a simple Buy/Sell signal generator; it is a context filter for cross-asset analysis.
1. Setup
Symbol 1 (X): The potential "Leader" (e.g., BINANCE:BTCUSDT).
Symbol 2 (Y): The potential "Follower" (e.g., BINANCE:ETHUSDT).
Differencing: Enabled by default. This checks the changes in price rather than absolute price, which is crucial for statistical stationarity.
2. Interpreting the Visuals
The script changes the background color and displays a table to indicate the current flow of causality:
Green Background (X → Y): Symbol 1 is leading Symbol 2. Price moves in Symbol 1 are statistically likely to foreshadow moves in Symbol 2.
Orange Background (Y → X): Symbol 2 is leading Symbol 1. The relationship has inverted.
Blue Background (Bidirectional): Both assets are predicting each other (tight coupling or feedback loop).
Gray/No Color: No statistically significant relationship detected.
3. Trading Application
Trend Confirmation: If you trade Symbol Y, wait for the background to turn Green . This indicates that the "Leader" (Symbol X) is currently exerting predictive influence, potentially making trend-following setups on Symbol Y more reliable.
Divergence Warning: If you are trading a correlation pair and the causality breaks (turns Gray), the correlation may be weakening, signaling a higher risk of divergence.
█ SETTINGS
Symbol 1 (X) & Symbol 2 (Y): The two tickers to analyze.
Use Differencing: (Default: True) Converts prices to price-changes. Highly recommended for accurate statistical results to avoid spurious regression.
Calculation Window: The number of bars used to compute the variance and coefficients. Larger windows provide smoother, more stable signals but react slower to regime changes.
Significance Threshold: (0.01 - 0.99) The minimum variance reduction score required to trigger a causal signal.
█ DISCLAIMER
This tool provides statistical analysis of historical price data and does not guarantee future performance. Granger Causality is a measure of predictive capability, not necessarily fundamental causation. Always use appropriate risk management.
