ZLEMA Trend Index 2.0ZTI — ZLEMA Trend Index 2.0 (0–1000)
Overview
Price Mapped ZTI v2.0 - Enhanced Zero-Lag Trend Index.
This indicator is a significant upgrade to the original ZTI v1.0, featuring enhanced resolution from 0-100 to 0-1000 levels for dramatically improved price action accuracy. The Price Mapped ZTI uses direct price-to-level mapping to eliminate statistical noise and provide true proportional representation of market movements.
Key Innovation: Instead of statistical normalization, this version maps current price position within a user-defined lookback period directly to the ZTI scale, ensuring perfect correlation with actual price movements. I believe this is the best way to capture trends instead of directly on the charts using a plethora of indicators which introduces bad signals resulting in drawdowns. The RSI-like ZTI overbought and oversold lines filter valid trends by slicing through the current trading zone. Unlike RSI that can introduce false signals, the ZTI levels 1 to 1000 is faithfully mapped to the lowest to highest price in the current trading zone (lookback period in days) which can be changed in the settings. The ZTI line will never go off the beyond the ZTI levels in case of extreme trend continuation as the trading zone is constantly updated to reflect only the most recent bars based on lookback days.
Core Features
✅ 10x Higher Resolution - 0-1000 scale provides granular movement detection
✅ Adjustable Trading Zone - Customizable lookback period from 1-50 days
✅ Price-Proportional Mapping - Direct correlation between price position and ZTI level
✅ Zero Statistical Lag - No rolling averages or standard deviation calculations
✅ Multi-Strategy Adaptability - Single parameter adjustment for different trading styles
Trading Zone Optimization

Smooths out short-term market noise
⚡ Market Condition Adaptation
Volatile Markets: Use shorter lookback (3-5 days) for tighter ranges
Trending Markets: Use longer lookback (14-21 days) for broader context
Ranging Markets: Use medium lookback (7-10 days) for clear boundaries
🎯 Timeframe Optimization
1-minute charts: 1-2 day lookback
5-minute charts: 2-5 day lookback
Hourly charts: 7-14 day lookback
Daily charts: 21-50 day lookback
Trading Applications
Scalping Setup (2-day lookback):
Super tight range for quick reversals
ZTI 800+ = immediate short opportunity
ZTI 200- = immediate long opportunity
Swing Trading Setup (10-day lookback):
Meaningful swing levels captured
ZTI extremes = high-probability reversal zones
More stable signals, reduced whipsaws
Advanced Usage
🔧 Real-Time Adaptability
Trending days: Increase to 14+ days for broader perspective
Range-bound days: Decrease to 3 days for tighter signals
High volatility: Shorter lookback for responsiveness
Low volatility: Longer lookback to avoid false signals
💡 Multi-Timeframe Approach
Entry signals: Use 7-day ZTI on main timeframe
Trend confirmation: Use 21-day ZTI on higher timeframe
Exit timing: Use 3-day ZTI for precise exits
🌐 Session Optimization
Asian session: Shorter lookback (3-5 days) for range-bound conditions
London/NY session: Longer lookback (7-14 days) for trending conditions
How It Works
The indicator maps the current price position within the specified lookback period directly to a 0-1000 scale and plots it using ZLEMA (Zero Lag Exponential Moving Average) which has the least lag of the available popular moving averages:
Price at recent high = ZTI at 1000
Price at recent low = ZTI at 1
Price at mid-range = ZTI at 500
This creates perfect proportional representation where every price movement translates directly to corresponding ZTI movement, eliminating the false signals common in traditional oscillators.
This single, versatile indicator adapts to any market condition, timeframe, or trading style through one simple parameter adjustment, making it an essential tool for traders at every level.

BTC(Sats Stacking) - CDC Action zone filterType: Indicator (Pine v6) • Category: Strategy Tools / DCA • Overlay: Yes
Overview
This indicator simulates fixed-amount Bitcoin DCA (dollar-cost averaging) and lets you apply a CDC Action Zone filter to only buy in specific market conditions. It plots EMA(12/26) lines with a shaded zone (green when fast > slow, red when slow > fast), shows buy markers on the chart when a DCA event actually executes, and displays a concise performance table.
The simulation tracks real invested capital (sum of your buys), not hypothetical equity injections, and reports PnL vs invested capital.
Key features
DCA frequency: Everyday, Every week, or Every month
CDC filter: Buy on all days, only when CDC is Green (trend-up above fast EMA), or only when Red (trend-down below fast EMA)
Execution price: Choose to buy at bar close or next bar open
Capital controls: Fixed DCA amount per event, optional max budget cap
Currency support: Portfolio currency label plus optional FX conversion (by symbol or manual rate)
Chart visuals: Buy markers on candles; EMA(12/26) lines with shaded “action zone”
Metrics table: Invested capital, buys executed, BTC accumulated, average price per BTC (quote), equity (portfolio), PnL% vs invested, and CAGR
How it works
CDC state:
Green = EMA(fast) > EMA(slow) and price ≥ EMA(fast)
Red = EMA(fast) < EMA(slow) and price < EMA(fast)
DCA trigger: Fires on new day/week/month boundaries (timeframe-agnostic).
Buy execution: When a DCA event occurs and passes the CDC filter and budget check, the script spends the fixed amount and adds the corresponding BTC at the chosen execution price.

Notes
This is an indicator, not a broker-connected strategy. It simulates buys and displays results without placing orders.
For more realistic fills, use Buy at next bar open.
If your portfolio currency differs from the symbol’s quote currency, enable Convert and supply a conversion symbol or manual rate.
EMA shading is purely visual; the filter logic uses the same EMA definitions.

[GrandAlgo] Moving Averages Cross LevelsMoving Averages Cross Levels
Many traders watch for moving average crossovers – such as the golden cross (50 MA crossing above 200 MA) or death cross – as signals of changing trends. However, once a crossover happens, the exact price level where it occurred often fades from view, even though that level can be an important reference point. Moving Averages Cross Levels is an indicator that keeps those crossover price levels visible on your chart, helping you track where momentum shifts occurred and how price behaves relative to those key levels.
This tool plots horizontal line segments at the price where each pair of selected moving averages crossed within a recent window of bars. Each level is labeled with the moving average lengths (for example, “21×50” for a 21/50 MA cross) and is color-coded – green for bullish crossovers (short-term MA crossing above long-term MA) and red for bearish crossunders (short-term crossing below). By visualizing these crossover levels, you can quickly identify past trend change points and use them as potential support/resistance or decision levels in your trading. Importantly, this indicator is non-repainting – once a crossover level is plotted, it remains fixed at the historical price where the cross occurred, allowing you to continually monitor that level going forward. (As with any moving average-based analysis, crossover signals are lagging, so use these levels in conjunction with other tools for confirmation.)
Key Features:
✅ Multiple Moving Averages: Track up to 7 different MAs (e.g. 5, 8, 21, 50, 64, 83, 200 by default) simultaneously. You can enable/disable each MA and set its length, allowing flexible combinations of short-term and long-term averages.
✅ Selectable MA Type: Each average can be calculated as a Simple (SMA), Exponential (EMA), Volume-Weighted (VWMA), or Smoothed (RMA) moving average, giving you flexibility to match your preferred method.
✅ Auto Crossover Detection: The script automatically detects all crosses between any enabled MA pairs, so you don’t have to specify pairs manually. Whether it’s a fast cross (5×8) or a long-term cross (50×200), every crossover within the lookback period will be identified and marked.
✅ Horizontal Level Markers: For each detected crossover, a horizontal line segment is drawn at the exact price where the crossover occurred. This makes it easy to glance at your chart and see precisely where two moving averages intersected in the recent past.
✅ Labeled and Color-Coded: Each crossover line is labeled with the two MA lengths that crossed (e.g. “50×200”) for clear identification. Colors indicate crossover direction – by default green for bullish (positive) crossovers and red for bearish (negative) crossovers – so you can tell at a glance which way the trend shifted. (You can customize these colors in the settings.)
✅ Adjustable Lookback: A “Crosses with X candles” input lets you control how far back the script looks for crossovers to plot. This prevents your chart from getting cluttered with too many old levels – for example, set X = 100 to show crossovers from roughly the last 100 bars. Older crossover lines beyond this lookback window will automatically clear off the chart.
✅ Optional MA Plots: You can toggle the display of each moving average line on the chart. This means you can either view just the crossover levels alone for a clean look, or also overlay the MA curves themselves for additional context (to see how price and MAs were moving around the crossover).
✅ No Repainting or Hindsight Bias: Once a crossover level is plotted, it stays at that fixed price. The indicator doesn’t move levels around after the fact – each line is a true historical event marker. This allows you to backtest visually: see how price acted after the crossover by observing if it retested or respected that level later.
How It Works:
1️⃣ Add to Chart & Configure – Simply add the indicator to your chart. In the settings, choose which moving averages you want to include and set their lengths. For example, you might enable 21, 50, 200 to focus on medium and long-term crosses (including the golden cross), or turn on shorter MAs like 5 and 8 for quick momentum shifts. Adjust the lookback (number of bars to scan for crosses) if needed.
2️⃣ Visualization – The script continuously checks the latest X bars for any points where one MA crossed above or below another. Whenever a crossover is found, it calculates the exact price level at which the two moving averages intersected. On the last bar of your chart, it will draw a horizontal line segment extending from the crossover bar to the current bar at that price level, and place a label to the right of the line with the MA lengths. Green lines/labels signify bullish crossovers (where the first MA crossed above the second), and red lines indicate bearish crossunders.
3️⃣ On Your Chart – You will see these labeled levels aligned with the price scale. For example, if a 50 MA crossed above a 200 MA (bullish) 50 bars ago at price $100, there will be a green “50×200” line at $100 extending to the present, showing you exactly where that golden cross happened. You might notice price pulling back near that level and bouncing, or if price falls back through it, it could signal a failed crossover. The indicator updates in real-time: if a new crossover happens on the latest bar, a new line and label will instantly appear, and if any old cross moves out of the lookback range, its line is removed to keep the chart focused.
4️⃣ Customization – You can fine-tune the appearance: toggle any MA’s visibility, change line colors or label styles, and modify the lookback length to suit different timeframes. For instance, on a 1-hour chart you might use a lookback of 500 bars to see a few weeks of cross history, whereas on a daily chart 100 bars (about 4–5 months) may be sufficient. Adjust these settings based on how many crossover levels you find useful to display.
Ideal for Traders Who:
Use MA Crossovers in Strategy: If your strategy involves moving average crossovers (for trend confirmation or entry/exit signals), this indicator provides an extra layer of insight by keeping the price of those crossover events in sight. For example, trend-followers can watch if price stays above a bullish crossover level as a sign of trend strength, or falls below it as a sign of weakness.
Identify Support/Resistance from MA Events: Crossover levels often coincide with pivot points in market sentiment. A crossover can act like a regime change – the level where it happened may turn into support or resistance. This tool helps you mark those potential S/R levels automatically. Rather than manually noting where a golden cross occurred, you’ll have it highlighted, which can be useful for setting stop-losses (e.g. below the crossover price in a bullish scenario) or profit targets.
Track Multiple Averages at Once: Instead of focusing on just one pair of moving averages, you might be interested in the interaction of several (short, medium, and long-term trends). This indicator caters to that by plotting all relevant crossovers among your chosen MAs. It’s great for multi-timeframe thinkers as well – e.g. you could apply it on a higher timeframe chart to mark major cross levels, then drill down to lower timeframes knowing those key prices.
Value Clean Visualization: There are no flashing signals or arrows – just simple lines and labels that enhance your chart’s storytelling. It’s ideal if you prefer to make trading decisions based on understanding price interaction with technical levels rather than following automatic trade calls. Moving Averages Cross Levels gives you information to act on, without imposing any bias or strategy – you interpret the crossover levels in the context of your own trading system.

Persistence# Persistence
## What it does
Measures **price change persistence**, defined as the percentage of bars within a lookback window that closed higher than the prior close. A high value means the instrument has been closing up frequently, which can indicate durable momentum. This mirrors Stockbee’s idea: *select stocks with high price change persistence*, and then combine **momentum plus persistence**.
## Can be used for scanning in PineScreener
## Calculation
* `isUp` is true when `close > close `.
* `countUp` counts true instances over the last `len` bars.
* `pctUp = 100 * countUp / len`, bounded between 0 and 100.
* A 50% level is a natural baseline. Above 50% suggests more up closes than down closes in the window.
## Inputs
* **Lookback bars (`len`)**: default 252 for roughly one trading year on a daily chart. On weekly charts use something like 52, on monthly charts use 12.
## How to use
1. **Screen for persistence**
Sort a watchlist by the plotted value, higher is better. Many momentum traders start looking above 58 to 65 percent, then layer a trend filter.
2. **Combine with momentum**
Examples, pick tickers with:
* `pctUp > 60`, and price above a rising EMA50 or EMA100.
* `pctUp rising` and weekly ROC positive.
3. **Switch timeframe to change the horizon**
* Daily chart with `len = 252` approximates one year.
* Weekly chart with `len = 52` approximates one year.
* Monthly chart with `len = 12` approximates one year.
## TC2000 equivalence
Stockbee’s TC2000 expression:
```
CountTrue(c > c1, 252)
```
## Interpretation guide
* **70 to 90**: very strong persistence; often trend leaders, check for extensions and risk controls.
* **60 to 70**: constructive persistence; good hunting ground for swing setups that also pass momentum filters.
* **50**: neutral baseline; around random up vs down frequency.
* **Below 50**: persistent weakness; consider only for mean reversion or short strategies.
## Practical tips
* **Event effects**: ex-dividend gaps can reduce persistence on high yield names. Earnings gaps can swing the value sharply.
* **Survivorship bias**: when backtesting on curated lists, persistence can look cleaner than in live scans.
* **Liquidity**: thin names may show noisy persistence due to erratic prints.
## Reference to Stockbee
* “One way to select stocks for swing trading is to find those with high price change persistence.”
* “Persistence can be calculated on a daily, monthly, or weekly timeframe.”
* TC2000 function: `CountTrue(c > c1, 252)`
* Example noted in the tweet: CVNA had very high one-year price persistence at the time of that post.
* Takeaway: **look for momentum plus persistence**, not persistence alone.
Relative Strength Heat [InvestorUnknown]The Relative Strength Heat (RSH) indicator is a relative strength of an asset across multiple RSI periods through a dynamic heatmap and provides smoothed signals for overbought and oversold conditions. The indicator is highly customizable, allowing traders to adjust RSI periods, smoothing methods, and visual settings to suit their trading strategies.
The RSH indicator is particularly useful for identifying momentum shifts and potential reversal points by aggregating RSI data across a range of periods. It presents this data in a visually intuitive heatmap, with color-coded bands indicating overbought (red), oversold (green), or neutral (gray) conditions. Additionally, it includes signal lines for overbought and oversold indices, which can be smoothed using RAW, SMA, or EMA methods, and a table displaying the current index values.
Features
Dynamic RSI Periods: Calculates RSI across 31 periods, starting from a user-defined base period and incrementing by a specified step.
Heatmap Visualization: Displays RSI strength as a color-coded heatmap, with red for overbought, green for oversold, and gray for neutral zones.
Customizable Smoothing: Offers RAW, SMA, or EMA smoothing for overbought and oversold signals.
Signal Lines: Plots scaled overbought (purple) and oversold (yellow) signal lines with a midline for reference.
Information Table: Displays real-time overbought and oversold index values in a table at the top-right of the chart.
User-Friendly Inputs: Allows customization of RSI source, period ranges, smoothing length, and colors.
How It Works
The RSH indicator aggregates RSI calculations across 31 periods, starting from the user-defined Starting Period and incrementing by the Period Increment. For each period, it computes the RSI and determines whether the asset is overbought (RSI > threshold_ob) or oversold (RSI < threshold_os). These states are stored in arrays (ob_array for overbought, os_array for oversold) and used to generate the following outputs:
Heatmap: The indicator plots 31 horizontal bands, each representing an RSI period. The color of each band is determined by the f_col function:
Red if the RSI for that period is overbought (>threshold_ob).
Green if the RSI is oversold (

Not every timeframe will yield good results . Very short charts are dominated by microstructure noise, spreads, and slippage; signals can flip and the tradable edge shrinks after costs. Very high timeframes adapt more slowly, provide fewer samples, and can lag regime shifts. When you change timeframe, you also change the ratios between horizon, lookbacks, and correlation windows—what works on M5 won’t automatically hold on H1 or D1. Liquidity, session effects (overnight gaps, news bursts), and volatility do not scale linearly with time. Always validate per symbol and timeframe, then retune horizon, z-length, correlation window, and either the neutral band or the z-threshold. On fast charts, “components” mode adapts quicker; on slower charts, “super” reduces noise. Keep prior-shift and calibration enabled, monitor Hit Rate with its confidence interval and the Brier score, and execute only on confirmed (closed-bar) values.
For example, what do “UP 61%” and “DOWN 21%” mean?
“UP 61%” is the model’s estimated probability that the close will be higher after your selected horizon—directional probability, not a price target or profit guarantee. “DOWN 21%” still reports the probability of up; here it’s 21%, which implies 79% for down (a short bias). The label switches to “DOWN” because the probability falls below your short threshold. With a neutral-band policy, for example ±7%, signals are: Long above 57%, Short below 43%, Neutral in between. In z-score mode, fixed z-cutoffs drive the call instead of percentages. The arrow length on the chart is an ATR-scaled projection to visualize reach; treat it as guidance, not a promise.
Part 1 — Scientific description
Objective.
The indicator estimates the probability that price will be higher after a user-defined horizon (a chosen number of bars) and emits long, short, or neutral decisions under explicit thresholds. It combines multi‑feature, z‑normalized inputs, adaptive correlation‑based weighting, a prior‑shifted sigmoid mapping, optional rolling probability calibration, and repaint‑safe confirmation. It also visualizes an ATR‑scaled forward projection and prints a compact statistics panel.
Data and labeling.
For each bar, the target label is whether price increased over the past chosen horizon. Learning is deliberately backward‑looking to avoid look‑ahead: features are associated with outcomes that are only known after that horizon has elapsed.
Feature engineering.
The feature set includes momentum, RSI, stochastic %K, MACD histogram slope, a normalized EMA(20/50) trend spread, ATR as a share of price, Bollinger Band width, and volume normalized by its moving average. All features are standardized over rolling windows. A compressed “super‑feature” is available that aggregates core trend and momentum components while penalizing excessive width (volatility). Users can switch between a “components” mode (weighted sum of individual features) and a “super” mode (single compressed driver).
Weighting and learning.
Weights are the rolling correlations between features (evaluated one horizon ago) and realized directional outcomes, smoothed by an EMA and optionally clamped to a bounded range to stabilize outliers. This produces an adaptive, regime‑aware weighting without explicit machine‑learning libraries.
Scoring and probability mapping.
The raw score is either the weighted component sum or the weighted super‑feature. The score is standardized again and passed through a sigmoid whose steepness is user‑controlled. A “prior shift” moves the sigmoid’s midpoint to the current base rate of up moves, estimated over the evaluation window, so that probabilities remain well‑calibrated when markets drift bullish or bearish. Probabilities and standardized scores are EMA‑smoothed for stability.
Decision policy.
Two modes are supported:
- Neutral band: go long if the probability is above one half plus a user‑set band; go short if it is below one half minus that band; otherwise stay neutral.
- Z‑score thresholds: use symmetric positive/negative cutoffs on the standardized score to trigger long/short.
Repaint protection.
All values used for decisions can be locked to confirmed (closed) bars. Intrabar updates are available as a preview, but confirmed values drive evaluation and stats.
Calibration.
An optional rolling linear calibration maps past confirmed probabilities to realized outcomes over the evaluation window. The mapping is clipped to the unit interval and can be injected back into the decision logic if desired. This improves reliability (probabilities that “mean what they say”) without necessarily improving raw separability.
Evaluation metrics.
The table reports: hit rate on signaled bars; a Wilson confidence interval for that hit rate at a chosen confidence level; Brier score as a measure of probability accuracy; counts of long/short trades; average realized return by side; profit factor; net return; and exposure (signal density). All are computed on rolling windows consistent with the learning scheme.
Visualization.
On the chart, an arrowed projection shows the predicted direction from the current bar to the chosen horizon, with magnitude scaled by ATR (optionally scaled by the square‑root of the horizon). Labels display either the decision probability or the standardized score. Neutral states can display a configurable icon for immediate recognition.
Computational properties.
The design relies on rolling means, standard deviations, correlations, and EMAs. Per‑bar cost is constant with respect to history length, and memory is constant per tracked series. Graphical objects are updated in place to obey platform limits.
Assumptions and limitations.
The method is correlation‑based and will adapt after regime changes, not before them. Calibration improves probability reliability but not necessarily ranking power. Intrabar previews are non‑binding and should not be evaluated as historical performance.
Part 2 — Trader‑facing description
What it does.
This tool tells you how likely price is to be higher after your chosen number of bars and converts that into Long / Short / Neutral calls. It learns, in real time, which components—momentum, trend, volatility, breadth, and volume—matter now, adjusts their weights, and shows you a probability line plus a forward arrow scaled by volatility.
How to set it up.
1) Choose your horizon. Intraday scalps: 5–10 bars. Swings: 10–30 bars. The default of 14 bars is a balanced starting point.
2) Pick a feature mode.
- components: granular and fast to adapt when leadership rotates between signals.
- super: cleaner single driver; less noise, slightly slower to react.
3) Decide how signals are triggered.
- Neutral band (probability based): intuitive and easy to tune. Widen the band for fewer, higher‑quality trades; tighten to catch more moves.
- Z‑score thresholds: consistent numeric cutoffs that ignore base‑rate drift.
4) Keep reliability helpers on. Leave prior shift and calibration enabled to stabilize probabilities across bullish/bearish regimes.
5) Smoothing. A short EMA on the probability or score reduces whipsaws while preserving turns.
6) Overlay. The arrow shows the call and a volatility‑scaled reach for the next horizon. Treat it as guidance, not a promise.
Reading the stats table.
- Hit Rate with a confidence interval: your recent accuracy with an uncertainty range; trust the range, not only the point.
- Brier Score: lower is better; it checks whether a stated “70%” really behaves like 70% over time.
- Profit Factor, Net Return, Exposure: quick triage of tradability and signal density.
- Average Return by Side: sanity‑check that the long and short calls each pull their weight.
Typical adjustments.
- Too many trades? Increase the neutral band or raise the z‑threshold.
- Missing the move? Tighten the band, or switch to components mode to react faster.
- Choppy timeframe? Lengthen the z‑score and correlation windows; keep calibration on.
- Volatility regime change? Revisit the ATR multiplier and enable square‑root scaling of horizon.
Execution and risk.
- Size positions by volatility (ATR‑based sizing works well).
- Enter on confirmed values; use intrabar previews only as early signals.
- Combine with your market structure (levels, liquidity zones). This model is statistical, not clairvoyant.
What it is not.
Not a black‑box machine‑learning model. It is transparent, correlation‑weighted technical analysis with strong attention to probability reliability and repaint safety.
Suggested defaults (robust starting point).
- Horizon 14; components mode; weight EMA 10; correlation window 500; z‑length 200.
- Neutral band around seven percentage points, or z‑threshold around one‑third of a standard deviation.
- Prior shift ON, Calibration ON, Use calibrated for decisions OFF to start.
- ATR multiplier 1.0; square‑root horizon scaling ON; EMA smoothing 3.
- Confidence setting equivalent to about 95%.

Adaptive Valuation [BackQuant]Adaptive Valuation
What this is
A composite, zero-centered oscillator that standardizes several classic indicators and blends them into one “valuation” line. It computes RSI, CCI, Demarker, and the Price Zone Oscillator, converts each to a rolling z-score, then forms a weighted average. Optional smoothing, dynamic overbought and oversold bands, and an on-chart table make the inputs and the final score easy to inspect.
How it works
Components
• RSI with its own lookback.
• CCI with its own lookback.
• DM (Demarker) with its own lookback.
• PZO (Price Zone Oscillator) with its own lookback.
Standardization via z-score
Each component is transformed using a rolling z-score over lookback bars:
z = (value − mean) ÷ stdev , where the mean is an EMA and the stdev is rolling.
This puts all inputs on a comparable scale measured in standard deviations.
Weighted blend
The z-scores are combined with user weights w_rsi, w_cci, w_dm, w_pzo to produce a single valuation series. If desired, it is then smoothed with a selected moving average (SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, RMA, DEMA, TEMA, LINREG, ALMA, T3). ALMA’s sigma input shapes its curve.
Dynamic thresholds (optional)
Two ways to set overbought and oversold:
• Static : fixed levels at ob_thres and os_thres .
• Dynamic : ±k·σ bands, where σ is the rolling standard deviation of the valuation over dynLen .
Bands can be centered at zero or around the valuation’s rolling mean ( centerZero ).
Visualization and UI
• Zero line at 0 with gradient fill that darkens as the valuation moves away from 0.
• Optional plotting of band lines and background highlights when OB or OS is active.
• Optional candle and background coloring driven by the valuation.
• Summary table showing each component’s current z-score, the final score, and a compact status.
How it can be used
• Bias filter : treat crosses above 0 as bullish bias and below 0 as bearish bias.
• Mean-reversion context : look for exhaustion when the valuation enters the OB or OS region, then watch for exits from those regions or a return toward 0.
• Signal confirmation : use the final score to confirm setups from structure or price action.
• Adaptive banding : with dynamic thresholds, OB and OS adjust to prevailing variability rather than relying on fixed lines.
• Component tuning : change weights to emphasize trend (raise DM, reduce RSI/CCI) or range behavior (raise RSI/CCI, reduce DM). PZO can help in swing environments.
Why z-score blending helps
Indicators often live on different scales. Z-scoring places them on a common, unitless axis, so a one-sigma move in RSI has comparable influence to a one-sigma move in CCI. This reduces scale bias and allows transparent weighting. It also facilitates regime-aware thresholds because the dynamic bands scale with recent dispersion.
Inputs to know
• Component lookbacks : rsilb, ccilb, dmlb, pzolb control each raw signal.
• Standardization window : lookback sets the z-score memory. Longer smooths, shorter reacts.
• Weights : w_rsi, w_cci, w_dm, w_pzo determine each component’s influence.
• Smoothing : maType, smoothP, sig govern optional post-blend smoothing.
• Dynamic bands : dyn_thres, dynLen, thres_k, centerZero configure the adaptive OB/OS logic.
• UI : toggle the plot, table, candle coloring, and threshold lines.
Reading the plot
• Above 0 : composite pressure is positive.
• Below 0 : composite pressure is negative.
• OB region : valuation above the chosen OB line. Risk of mean reversion rises and momentum continuation needs evidence.
• OS region : mirror logic on the downside.
• Band exits : leaving OB or OS can serve as a normalization cue.
Strengths
• Normalizes heterogeneous signals into one interpretable series.
• Adjustable component weights to match instrument behavior.
• Dynamic thresholds adapt to changing volatility and drift.
• Transparent diagnostics from the on-chart table.
• Flexible smoothing choices, including ALMA and T3.
Limitations and cautions
• Z-scores assume a reasonably stationary window. Sharp regime shifts can make recent bands unrepresentative.
• Highly correlated components can overweight the same effect. Consider adjusting weights to avoid double counting.
• More smoothing adds lag. Less smoothing adds noise.
• Dynamic bands recalibrate with dynLen ; if set too short, bands may swing excessively. If too long, bands can be slow to adapt.
Practical tuning tips
• Trending symbols: increase w_dm , use a modest smoother like EMA or T3, and use centerZero dynamic bands.
• Choppy symbols: increase w_rsi and w_cci , consider ALMA with a higher sigma , and widen bands with a larger thres_k .
• Multiday swing charts: lengthen lookback and dynLen to stabilize the scale.
• Lower timeframes: shorten component lookbacks slightly and reduce smoothing to keep signals timely.
Alerts
• Enter and exit of Overbought and Oversold, based on the active band choice.
• Bullish and bearish zero crosses.
Use alerts as prompts to review context rather than as stand-alone trade commands.
Final Remarks
We created this to show people a different way of making indicators & trading.
You can process normal indicators in multiple ways to enhance or change the signal, especially with this you can utilise machine learning to optimise the weights, then trade accordingly.
All of the different components were selected to give some sort of signal, its made out of simple components yet is effective. As long as the user calibrates it to their Trading/ investing style you can find good results. Do not use anything standalone, ensure you are backtesting and creating a proper system.
Adaptive Rolling Quantile Bands [CHE] Adaptive Rolling Quantile Bands
Part 1 — Mathematics and Algorithmic Design
Purpose. The indicator estimates distribution‐aware price levels from a rolling window and turns them into dynamic “buy” and “sell” bands. It can work on raw price or on *residuals* around a baseline to better isolate deviations from trend. Optionally, the percentile parameter $q$ adapts to volatility via ATR so the bands widen in turbulent regimes and tighten in calm ones. A compact, latched state machine converts these statistical levels into high-quality discretionary signals.
Data pipeline.
1. Choose a source (default `close`; MTF optional via `request.security`).
2. Optionally compute a baseline (`SMA` or `EMA`) of length $L$.
3. Build the *working series*: raw price if residual mode is off; otherwise price minus baseline (if a baseline exists).
4. Maintain a FIFO buffer of the last $N$ values (window length). All quantiles are computed on this buffer.
5. Map the resulting levels back to price space if residual mode is on (i.e., add back the baseline).
6. Smooth levels with a short EMA for readability.
Rolling quantiles.
Given the buffer $X_{t-N+1..t}$ and a percentile $q\in $, the indicator sorts a copy of the buffer ascending and linearly interpolates between adjacent ranks to estimate:
* Buy band $\approx Q(q)$
* Sell band $\approx Q(1-q)$
* Median $Q(0.5)$, plus optional deciles $Q(0.10)$ and $Q(0.90)$
Quantiles are robust to outliers relative to means. The estimator uses only data up to the current bar’s value in the buffer; there is no look-ahead.
Residual transform (optional).
In residual mode, quantiles are computed on $X^{res}_t = \text{price}_t - \text{baseline}_t$. This centers the distribution and often yields more stationary tails. After computing $Q(\cdot)$ on residuals, levels are transformed back to price space by adding the baseline. If `Baseline = None`, residual mode simply falls back to raw price.
Volatility-adaptive percentile.
Let $\text{ATR}_{14}(t)$ be current ATR and $\overline{\text{ATR}}_{100}(t)$ its long SMA. Define a volatility ratio $r = \text{ATR}_{14}/\overline{\text{ATR}}_{100}$. The effective quantile is:
Smoothing.
Each level is optionally smoothed by an EMA of length $k$ for cleaner visuals. This smoothing does not change the underlying quantile logic; it only stabilizes plots and signals.
Latched state machines.
Two three-step processes convert levels into “latched” signals that only fire after confirmation and then reset:
* BUY latch:
(1) HLC3 crosses above the median →
(2) the median is rising →
(3) HLC3 prints above the upper (orange) band → BUY latched.
* SELL latch:
(1) HLC3 crosses below the median →
(2) the median is falling →
(3) HLC3 prints below the lower (teal) band → SELL latched.
Labels are drawn on the latch bar, with a FIFO cap to limit clutter. Alerts are available for both the simple band interactions and the latched events. Use “Once per bar close” to avoid intrabar churn.
MTF behavior and repainting.
MTF sourcing uses `lookahead_off`. Quantiles and baselines are computed from completed data only; however, any *intrabar* cross conditions naturally stabilize at close. As with all real-time indicators, values can update during a live bar; prefer bar-close alerts for reliability.
Complexity and parameters.
Each bar sorts a copy of the $N$-length window (practical $N$ values keep this inexpensive). Typical choices: $N=50$–$100$, $q_0=0.15$–$0.25$, $k=2$–$5$, baseline length $L=20$ (if used), adaptation strength $s=0.2$–$0.7$.
Part 2 — Practical Use for Discretionary/Active Traders
What the bands mean in practice.
The teal “buy” band marks the lower tail of the recent distribution; the orange “sell” band marks the upper tail. The median is your dynamic equilibrium. In residual mode, these tails are deviations around trend; in raw mode they are absolute price percentiles. When ATR adaptation is on, tails breathe with regime shifts.
Two core playbooks.
1. Mean-reversion around a stable median.
* Context: The median is flat or gently sloped; band width is relatively tight; instrument is ranging.
* Entry (long): Look for price to probe or close below the buy band and then reclaim it, especially after HLC3 recrosses the median and the median turns up.
* Stops: Place beyond the most recent swing low or $1.0–1.5\times$ ATR(14) below entry.
* Targets: First scale at the median; optional second scale near the opposite band. Trail with the median or an ATR stop.
* Symmetry: Mirror the rules for shorts near the sell band when the median is flat to down.
2. Continuation with latched confirmations.
* Context: A developing trend where you want fewer but cleaner signals.
* Entry (long): Take the latched BUY (3-step confirmation) on close, or on the next bar if you require bar-close validation.
* Invalidation: A close back below the median (or below the lower band in strong trends) negates momentum.
* Exits: Trail under the median for conservative exits or under the teal band for trend-following exits. Consider scaling at structure (prior swing highs) or at a fixed $R$ multiple.
Parameter guidance by timeframe.
* Scalping / LTF (1–5m): $N=30$–$60$, $q_0=0.20$, $k=2$–3, residual mode on, baseline EMA $L=20$, adaptation $s=0.5$–0.7 to handle micro-vol spikes. Expect more signals; rely on latched logic to filter noise.
* Intraday swing (15–60m): $N=60$–$100$, $q_0=0.15$–0.20, $k=3$–4. Residual mode helps but is optional if the instrument trends cleanly. $s=0.3$–0.6.
* Swing / HTF (4H–D): $N=80$–$150$, $q_0=0.10$–0.18, $k=3$–5. Consider `SMA` baseline for smoother residuals and moderate adaptation $s=0.2$–0.4.
Baseline choice.
Use EMA for responsiveness (fast trend shifts) and SMA for stability (smoother residuals). Turning residual mode on is advantageous when price exhibits persistent drift; turning it off is useful when you explicitly want absolute bands.
How to time entries.
Prefer bar-close validation for both band recaptures and latched signals. If you must act intrabar, accept that crosses can “un-cross” before close; compensate with tighter stops or reduced size.
Risk management.
Position size to a fixed fractional risk per trade (e.g., 0.5–1.0% of equity). Define invalidation using structure (swing points) plus ATR. Avoid chasing when distance to the opposite band is small; reward-to-risk degrades rapidly once you are deep inside the distribution.
Combos and filters.
* Pair with a higher-timeframe median slope as a regime filter (trade only in the direction of the HTF median).
* Use band width relative to ATR as a range/trend gauge: unusually narrow bands suggest compression (mean-reversion bias); expanding bands suggest breakout potential (favor latched continuation).
* Volume or session filters (e.g., avoid illiquid hours) can materially improve execution.
Alerts for discretion.
Enable “Cross above Buy Level” / “Cross below Sell Level” for early notices and “Latched BUY/SELL” for conviction entries. Set alerts to “Once per bar close” to avoid noise.
Common pitfalls.
Do not interpret band touches as automatic signals; context matters. A strong trend will often ride the far band (“band walking”) and punish counter-trend fades—use the median slope and latched logic to separate trend from range. Do not oversmooth levels; you will lag breaks. Do not set $q$ too small or too large; extremes reduce statistical meaning and practical distance for stops.
A concise checklist.
1. Is the median flat (range) or sloped (trend)?
2. Is band width expanding or contracting vs ATR?
3. Are we near the tail level aligned with the intended trade?
4. For continuation: did the 3 steps for a latched signal complete?
5. Do stops and targets produce acceptable $R$ (≥1.5–2.0)?
6. Are you trading during liquid hours for the instrument?
Summary. ARQB provides statistically grounded, regime-aware bands and a disciplined, latched confirmation engine. Use the bands as objective context, the median as your equilibrium line, ATR adaptation to stay calibrated across regimes, and the latched logic to time higher-quality discretionary entries.

Apex Edge - London Open Session# Apex Edge - London Open Session Trading System
## Overview
The London Open Session indicator captures institutional price action during the first hour of the London forex session (8:00-9:00 AM GMT) and identifies high-probability breakout and retest opportunities. This system tracks the session's high/low range and generates precise entry signals when price breaks or retests these key institutional levels.
## Core Strategy
**Session Tracking**: Automatically identifies and marks the London Open session boundaries, creating a trading zone from the first hour's price range.
**Dual Entry Logic**:
- **Breakout Entries**: Triggers when price closes beyond the session high/low and continues in that direction
- **Retest Entries**: Activates when price returns to test the broken level as new support/resistance
**Performance Analytics**: Built-in win rate tracking displays real-time performance statistics over user-defined lookback periods, enabling data-driven optimization for each currency pair.
## Key Features
### Automated Zone Detection
- Precise London session timing with timezone offset controls
- Visual session boundaries with customizable colours
- Automatic high/low range calculation and display
### Smart Entry System
- Breakout confirmation requiring candle close beyond zone
- Retest detection with configurable pip distance tolerance

- Automatic SL/TP level calculation in pips
## Critical Usage Requirements
### Pair-Specific Optimization
Each currency pair requires individual optimization due to varying volatility characteristics, institutional participation levels, and typical price ranges during London hours. The performance HUD is essential for identifying optimal settings before live trading.
**Recommended Testing Process**:
1. Apply indicator to desired currency pair and timeframe
2. Experiment with session timing - while 8:00-9:00 AM GMT is standard, some pairs may show improved performance with alternative hourly windows (e.g., 7:00-8:00 AM or 9:00-10:00 AM)
3. Adjust Stop Loss distances, Risk/Reward ratios, and Retest distances
4. Monitor win rate over 30+ day periods using the performance HUD
5. Only proceed with live alerts once consistent 60%+ win rates are achieved
6. Create separate optimized chart setups for each profitable pair/timeframe combination
### Timeframe Specifications
This indicator is specifically designed and tested for:
- **1-minute charts**: Optimal for capturing immediate institutional reactions
- **5-minute charts**: Balanced approach between noise reduction and opportunity frequency
Higher timeframes generally produce inferior results due to increased noise and reduced institutional edge during the London session window.
## Settings Configuration
### Session Timing
- **London Open/Close Hours**: Adjust for your chart's timezone
- **Rectangle End Time**: Set to 4:30 PM to stop signals before NY session close
- **Timezone Offset**: Ensure accurate London session capture
### Entry Parameters
- **Retest Distance**: 3-8 pips depending on pair volatility
- **Stop Loss Pips**: Separate settings for breakouts (10-15 pips) and retests (8-12 pips)
- **Risk/Reward Ratios**: Independent ratios for different entry types
### PineConnector Setup
- **License ID**: Your PineConnector license key
- **Symbol Override**: MT4/MT5 symbol names if different from TradingView
- **Risk Percentage**: Position size as percentage of account balance
- **Prefix/Comment**: Organize trades in terminal
## Manual Trading Limitations
Without PineConnector automation, traders face significant practical challenges:
**Settings Management**: Each currency pair requires different optimized parameters. Switching between charts means manually adjusting multiple settings each time, creating potential for errors and missed opportunities.
**Timing Sensitivity**: London Open signals can occur rapidly during high-volatility periods. Manual execution may result in slippage or missed entries.
**Multi-Pair Monitoring**: Tracking 4-11 currency pairs simultaneously while manually adjusting settings for each switch becomes impractical for most traders.
**Parameter Consistency**: Risk of using suboptimal settings when quickly switching between pairs, potentially compromising the careful optimization work.
## Recommended Workflow
1. **Historical Testing**: Use win rate HUD to identify profitable pairs and optimal parameters
2. **Demo Automation**: Test PineConnector alerts on demo accounts with optimized settings
3. **Live Implementation**: Deploy alerts only on proven profitable pair/timeframe combinations
4. **Ongoing Monitoring**: Regular review of performance metrics to maintain edge
## Risk Disclaimer
This indicator provides analysis tools and automation capabilities but does not guarantee profitable trading outcomes. Past performance does not predict future results. Users should thoroughly backtest and demo trade before risking live capital. The London session strategy works best during specific market conditions and may underperform during low volatility or unusual market environments.
## Support Requirements
Successful implementation requires:
- Basic understanding of London session market dynamics
- PineConnector subscription for automation features
- Patience for proper optimization process
- Realistic expectations about win rates and drawdown periods
This system is designed for serious traders willing to invest time in proper optimization and risk management rather than plug-and-play solutions.
EdgeFlow Pullback [CHE]EdgeFlow Pullback \ — Icon & Visual Guide (Deep Dive)
TL;DR (1-minute read)
⏳ Hourglass = Pending verdict. A countdown runs from the signal bar until your Evaluation Window ends.
✔ Checkmark (green) = OK. After the evaluation window, price (HLC3) is on the correct side of the EMA144 for that signal’s direction.
✖ Cross (red) = Fail. After the evaluation window, price (HLC3) is on the wrong side of the EMA144.
▲ / ▼ Triangles = the actual PB Long/Short signal bar (sequence completed in time).
Small lime/red crosses = visual markers when HLC3 crosses EMA144 (context, not trade signals).
Orange line = EMA144 (baseline/trend filter).
T3 line color = Context signal: green when T3 is below HLC3, red when T3 is above HLC3.
Icon Glossary (What each symbol means)
1) ⏳ Hourglass — “Pending / Countdown”
Appears immediately when a PB signal fires (Long or Short).
Shows `⏳ currentBars / EvaluationBars` (e.g., `⏳ 7/30`).
The label stays anchored at the signal bar and its original price level (it does not drift with price).
During ⏳ you get no verdict yet. It’s simply the waiting period before grading.
2) ✔ Checkmark (green) — “Condition met”
Appears after the Evaluation Window completes.
Logic:
Long signal: HLC3 (typical price) is above EMA144 → ✔
Short signal: HLC3 is below EMA144 → ✔
The label turns green and text says “✔ … Condition met”.
This is rules-based grading, not PnL. It tells you if the post-signal structure behaved as expected.
3) ✖ Cross (red) — “Condition failed”
Appears after the Evaluation Window completes if the condition above is not met.
Label turns red with “✖ … Condition failed”.
Again: rules-based verdict, not a guarantee of profit or loss.
4) ▲ “PB Long” triangle (below bar)
Marks the exact bar where the 4-step Long sequence completed within the allowed window.
That bar is your signal bar for Long setups.
5) ▼ “PB Short” triangle (above bar, red)
Same as above, for Short setups.
6) Lime/Red “+” crosses (tiny cross markers)
Lime cross (below bar): HLC3 crosses above EMA144 (crossover).
Red cross (above bar): HLC3 crosses below EMA144 (crossunder).
These crosses are context markers; they’re not entry signals by themselves.
The Two Clocks (Don’t mix them up)
There are two different time windows at play:
1. Signal Window — “Max bars for full sequence”
A pullback signal (Long or Short) only fires if the 4-step sequence completes within this many bars.
If it takes too long: reset (no signal, no triangle, no label).
Purpose: avoid stale setups.
2. Evaluation Window — “Evaluation window after signal (bars)”
Starts after the signal bar. The label shows an ⏳ countdown.
When it reaches the set number of bars, the indicator checks whether HLC3 is on the correct side of EMA144 for the signal direction.
Then it stamps the signal with ✔ (OK) or ✖ (Fail).
Timeline sketch (Long example):
```
→ ▲ PB Long at bar t0
Label shows: ⏳ 0/EvalBars
t0+1, t0+2, ... t0+EvalBars-1 → still ⏳
At t0+EvalBars → Check HLC3 vs EMA144
Result → ✔ (green) or ✖ (red)
(Label remains anchored at t0 / signal price)
```
What Triggers the PB Signal (so you know why triangles appear)
LONG sequence (4 steps in order):
1. T3 falling (the pullback begins)
2. HLC3 crosses under EMA144
3. T3 rising (pullback ends)
4. HLC3 crosses over EMA144 → PB Long triangle
SHORT sequence (mirror):
1. T3 rising
2. HLC3 crosses over EMA144
3. T3 falling
4. HLC3 crosses under EMA144 → PB Short triangle
If steps 1→4 don’t complete in time (within Max bars for full sequence), the sequence is abandoned (no signal).
Lines & Colors (quick interpretation)
EMA144 (orange): your baseline trend filter.
T3 (green/red):
Green when T3 < HLC3 (price above the smoothed path; often supportive in up-moves)
Red when T3 > HLC3 (price below the smoothed path; often pressure in down-moves)
HLC3 (gray): the typical price the logic uses ( (H+L+C)/3 ).
Label Behavior (anchoring & cleanup)
Each signal creates one label at the signal bar with ⏳.
The label is position-locked: it stays at the same bar index and y-price it was born at.
After the evaluation check, the label text and color update to ✔/✖, but position stays fixed.
The indicator keeps only the last N labels (your “Show only the last N labels” input). Older ones are deleted to reduce clutter.
What You Can (and Can’t) Infer from ✔ / ✖
✔ OK: Structure behaved as intended during the evaluation window (HLC3 finished on the correct side of EMA144).
Inference: The pullback continued in the expected direction post-signal.
✖ Fail: Structure ended up opposite the expectation.
Inference: The pullback did not continue cleanly (chop, reversal, or insufficient follow-through).
> Important: ✔/✖ is not profit or loss. It’s an objective rule check. Use it to identify market regimes where your entries perform best.
Input Settings — How they change the visuals
T3 length:
Shorter → faster turns, more signals (and more noise).
Longer → smoother turns, fewer but cleaner sequences.
T3 volume factor (0–1, default 0.7):
Higher → more curvature/smoothing.
Typical sweet spot: 0.5–0.9.
EMA length (baseline) default 144:
Smaller → faster baseline, more cross events, more aggressive signals.
Larger → slower, stricter trend confirmation.
Max bars for full sequence (signal window):
Smaller → only fresh, snappy pullbacks can signal.
Larger → allows slower pullbacks to complete.
Evaluation window (after signal):
Smaller → verdict arrives quickly (less tolerance).
Larger → gives the trade more time to prove itself structurally.
Show only the last N labels:
Controls chart clutter. Increase for more history, decrease for focus.
(FYI: The “Debug” toggle exists but doesn’t draw extra overlays in this version.)
Practical Reading Flow (how to use visuals in seconds)
1. Triangles catch your eye: ▲ for Long, ▼ for Short. That’s the setup completion.
2. ⏳ label starts—don’t judge yet; let the evaluation run.
3. Watch EMA slope and T3 color for context (trend + pressure).
4. After the window: ✔/✖ stamps the outcome. Log what the market was like when you got ✔.
Common “Why did…?” Questions
Q: Why did I get no triangle even though T3 turned and EMA crossed?
A: The 4 steps must happen in order and within the Signal Window. If timing breaks, the sequence resets.
Q: Why did my label stay ⏳ for so long?
A: That’s by design until the Evaluation Window completes. The verdict only happens at the end of that window.
Q: Why is ✔/✖ different from my PnL?
A: It’s a structure check, not a profit check. It doesn’t know your entries/exits/stops.
Q: Do the small lime/red crosses mean buy/sell?
A: No. They’re context markers for HLC3↔EMA crosses, useful inside the sequence but not standalone signals.
Pro Tips (turn visuals into decisions)
Entry: Use the ▲/▼ triangle as your trigger, in trend direction (check EMA slope/market structure).
Stop: Behind the pullback swing around the signal bar.
Exit: Structure levels, R-multiples, or a reverse HLC3↔EMA cross as a trailing logic.
Tuning:
Intraday/volatile: shorter T3/EMA + tighter Signal Window.
Swing/slow: default 144 EMA + moderate windows.
Learn quickly: Filter your chart to show only ✔ or only ✖ windows in your notes; see which sessions, assets, and volatility regimes suit the system.

Institutional Session VWAP Bands (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Institutional Session VWAP Bands (Zeiierman) plots a clean, session-aware VWAP that restarts at the “True Close” (end of the first trading hour) for each session you enable (Sydney, Tokyo, London, New York). From that anchor, the script computes a classic volume-weighted average price plus optional standard-deviation bands to frame session fair value and dispersion.
By aligning VWAP to when institutional flows settle (the first hour), you get a reference that matches real execution behavior, yielding more credible pullbacks, retests, and mean-reversion reads inside each session.
█ How It Works
⚪ Session Detection
You choose the sessions (on/off), their UTC-aligned time windows, and colors. The script detects when each session is active on your chart timeframe.
⚪ True-Close Anchoring
At session open the indicator waits. When the first hour completes, it flips the anchor on and starts a fresh VWAP for that session, mirroring how many desks treat the first hour as the real close for the prior day’s positioning.
⚪ VWAP Core
From the true-close anchor, VWAP is calculated in the standard way: cumulative (price × volume) / cumulative volume using your chosen price source (default hlc3).
⚪ VWAP Bands (σ)
Upper/Lower bands are built using a running standard deviation of the price source since the anchor. You control the σ multiplier and line width, and you can optionally fill between the bands.
█ Why Sessions + True-Close Anchoring
⚪ Institutional Timing Matters
A new anchor at the first-hour close reflects where real flows have settled, giving you a session fair-value line that aligns with how many funds evaluate prices intraday.
⚪ Cleaner Session Reads
Because VWAP and σ-bands restart each session, your retests, squeezes, and mean-reversion signals are based on today’s order-flow context, not yesterday’s inertia.
Result: a session-true fair-value with dispersion bands that stay close to the action, improving the quality of pullback entries and risk framing.
█ How to Use
⚪ Session Fair-Value Guide
Treat VWAP as the magnet for intraday value. Impulsive moves away from VWAP that fold back often present retest opportunities.
⚪ σ-Band Reversion & Breaks
Reversion: Tests beyond the upper/lower band that snap back inside can flag exhaustion.
Trend: Price riding the VWAP band in a strong trend
⚪ Session Handoffs
When one session hands to the next, watch how price behaves around the new session’s VWAP Bands after its anchor triggers. Continuation through the new VWAP vs. rejection often sets the tone.
█ Settings
UTC: Choose the timezone used to evaluate session windows (e.g., UTC+2).
Sessions (Sydney, Tokyo, London, New York): Toggle visibility and define each HHMM-HHMM window.
VWAP Price: Source for weighting.
Band Multiplier (σ): Standard deviation multiplier.

Dual Stochastic with Trend FilterThe "Dual Stochastic with Trend Filter" is an oscillator indicator designed to provide clearer, trend-aligned trading signals. It uses two distinct stochastic oscillators to identify potential entry points and incorporates an optional EMA-based trend filter to ensure that you are trading in the direction of the broader market momentum.
How It Works and How to Use It
This indicator combines two key technical analysis concepts: momentum (via stochastics) and trend (via moving averages).
Core Components:
Dual Stochastic Oscillators:
Signal Line 1 (Blue): A standard stochastic oscillator.
Signal Line 2 (Red): A second stochastic oscillator, often using a different source (like hlcc4) to provide a smoother, more reliable signal.
A buy signal is generated when the Blue Line (d1) crosses above the Red Line (d2).
A sell signal is generated when the Blue Line (d1) crosses below the Red Line (d2).
Trend Filter (Optional):
This feature uses a fast and a slow Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to determine the overall market trend.
When the fast EMA is above the slow EMA, the background will turn green, indicating an uptrend.
When the fast EMA is below the slow EMA, the background will turn red, indicating a downtrend.
This filter can be toggled on or off in the indicator settings.
How to Use:
With Trend Filter Enabled (Recommended):
Long (Buy) Entry: Look for a green triangle buy signal (▲). This signal only appears when:
The Blue Signal Line crosses above the Red Signal Line.
The market is in a confirmed uptrend (green background).
Short (Sell) Entry: Look for a red triangle sell signal (▼). This signal only appears when:
The Blue Signal Line crosses below the Red Signal Line.
The market is in a confirmed downtrend (red background).
Exit Signal:
A yellow circle (●) appears to suggest closing an open trade. This signal is triggered for a long position if either the stochastics have a bearish cross or the trend flips to a downtrend. Conversely, for a short position, it's triggered by a bullish stochastic cross or a trend flip to an uptrend.
With Trend Filter Disabled:
If you turn off the "Use Trend Filter" option, the indicator will function as a simple dual stochastic crossover system.
A green triangle (▲) will appear every time the Blue Line crosses above the Red Line.
A red triangle (▼) will appear every time the Blue Line crosses below the Red Line.
The background coloring and exit signals based on trend flips will be deactivated. This mode is more sensitive but may produce more false signals in choppy markets.
Key Visuals:
Blue Line: The primary signal line.
Red Line: The secondary, often smoother, signal line.
Green Triangle (▲): Bullish entry signal.
Red Triangle (▼): Bearish entry signal.
Yellow Circle (●): Suggested trade exit/stop.
Green/Red Background: Visual confirmation of the current uptrend or downtrend.
By filtering stochastic signals with the dominant trend, this indicator helps traders avoid common pitfalls like entering short positions during a strong uptrend or buying into a bearish market. This alignment of momentum and trend is key to improving signal quality.

Trading Macro Windows by BW v2
Trading Macros by BW: Integrating ICT Concepts for Session Analysis
This indicator combines two key Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts—Change in State of Delivery (CISD) or Inverted Fair Value Gap (IFVG) signals with Macro Time Windows—to provide a unified tool for analyzing intraday price action, particularly during Pacific Time (PT) sessions. Rather than simply merging existing scripts, this integration creates a cohesive visual framework that highlights how macro consolidation periods interact with potential reversal or continuation signals like CISD or IFVG. By overlaying macro candle styling and borders on the chart alongside selectable signal lines, traders can better contextualize setups within ICT's macro narrative, where price often manipulates liquidity during these windows before displacing toward higher-timeframe objectives.
Core Components and How They Work Together:
Macro Time Windows (Inspired by ICT's Macro Periods):
ICT emphasizes "macro" as 30-minute windows (e.g., 06:45–07:15 PT, 07:45–08:15 PT, up to 11:45–12:15 PT) where price tends to consolidate, sweep liquidity, or form key structures like Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). These periods set the stage for the session's directional bias.
The indicator styles candles within these windows using a user-defined color for wicks, borders, and bodies (translucent for visibility). This visual emphasis helps traders focus on activity inside macros, where reversals or continuations often originate.
Borders are drawn as vertical lines at the start and end of each window (with a +5 minute buffer to capture related activity), using a dotted style by default. This creates a "study zone" that encapsulates macro events, allowing traders to assess if price is respecting or violating these zones in alignment with broader ICT models like the Power of 3 (AMD cycle).
Toggle: "Macro Candles Enabled" (default: true) – Turn off to disable styling and borders if focusing solely on signals.
CISD or IFVG Signals (Selectable Mode):
Mode Selection: Choose between "Change in the State of Delivery" (CISD) or "IFVG" (default: IFVG). Both detect shifts in market delivery during specific 30-minute slices (15–45 or 17–45 minutes past the hour in PT sessions).
CISD Mode: Based on ICT's definition of a sudden directional shift, this identifies aggressive displacements after sweeping recent highs/lows. It uses a rolling reference high/low over 6 bars, checks for sweeps (penetrating by at least 2 ticks in the last 2-3 bars), reclamation (closing beyond the reference with at least 50% body), and displacement (50% of prior range or an immediate FVG of 6+ ticks). Signals plot a horizontal line from the close, extending 24 bars right, labeled "CISD."
IFVG Mode: Focuses on Inverted Fair Value Gaps, where a bullish FVG (low > high by 13+ ticks) forms but is inverted (closed below) in the same slice, signaling bearish intent (or vice versa). This targets violations against opposing liquidity, often leading to raids on external ranges. Signals plot similarly, labeled "IFVG."
Shared Logic: Both modes enforce a 55-bar cooldown to prevent clustering, operate only during PT sessions (06:30–13:00), and use tick-based thresholds for precision across instruments. The integration with macros allows traders to see if signals occur within or at the edges of macro windows, enhancing confirmation—for example, a CISD inside a macro might indicate a manipulated reversal toward the session's true objective.
Toggle: "Signals Enabled" (default: true) – Turn off to hide all signal lines and labels, isolating the macro visualization.
How Components Interact:
Macro windows provide the "narrative context" (consolidation/manipulation), while CISD/IFVG signals detect the "delivery shift" (displacement). Together, they form a mashup that justifies publication: isolated signals can be noisy, but when filtered by macro periods, they align with ICT's session model. For instance, an IFVG inversion during a macro might confirm a liquidity sweep before targeting PD arrays or order blocks.
No external dependencies; all calculations are self-contained using Pine's built-in functions like ta.highest/lowest for references and time-based sessions for windows.
Usage Guidelines:
Apply to intraday charts (e.g., 1-5 min) or stocks during PT hours.
Look for confluence: A bull IFVG signal post-macro low sweep might target the next macro high or daily bias.
Customize colors/styles for signals (solid/dashed/dotted lines) and macros to suit your chart.
Backtest in replay mode to observe how macros frame signals—e.g., price often respects macro borders as S/R.
Limitations: Timezone-fixed to PT (America/Los_Angeles); signals are directional hints, not trade entries. Combine with ICT tools like order blocks or liquidity pools for full setups.
This script draws from community ICT implementations but refines them into a single, purpose-built tool for macro-driven trading, reducing chart clutter while emphasizing interconnected concepts. Feedback welcome!
Advanced Volume Profile Pro Delta + POC + VAH/VAL# Advanced Volume Profile Pro - Delta + POC + VAH/VAL Analysis System
## WHAT THIS SCRIPT DOES
This script creates a comprehensive volume profile analysis system that combines traditional volume-at-price distribution with delta volume calculations, Point of Control (POC) identification, and Value Area (VAH/VAL) analysis. Unlike standard volume indicators that show only total volume over time, this script analyzes volume distribution across price levels and estimates buying vs selling pressure using multiple calculation methods to provide deeper market structure insights.
## WHY THIS COMBINATION IS ORIGINAL AND USEFUL
**The Problem Solved:** Traditional volume indicators show when volume occurs but not where price finds acceptance or rejection. Standalone volume profiles lack directional bias information, while basic delta calculations don't provide structural context. Traders need to understand both volume distribution AND directional sentiment at key price levels.
**The Solution:** This script implements an integrated approach that:
- Maps volume distribution across price levels using configurable row density
- Estimates delta (buying vs selling pressure) using three different methodologies
- Identifies Point of Control (highest volume price level) for key support/resistance
- Calculates Value Area boundaries where 70% of volume traded
- Provides real-time alerts for key level interactions and volume imbalances
**Unique Features:**
1. **Developing POC Visualization**: Real-time tracking of Point of Control migration throughout the session via blue dotted trail, revealing institutional accumulation/distribution patterns before they complete
2. **Multi-Method Delta Calculation**: Price Action-based, Bid/Ask estimation, and Cumulative methods for different market conditions
3. **Adaptive Timeframe System**: Auto-adjusts calculation parameters based on chart timeframe for optimal performance
4. **Flexible Profile Types**: N Bars Back (precise control), Days Back (calendar-based), and Session-based analysis modes
5. **Advanced Imbalance Detection**: Identifies and highlights significant buying/selling imbalances with configurable thresholds
6. **Comprehensive Alert System**: Monitors POC touches, Value Area entry/exit, and major volume imbalances
## HOW THE SCRIPT WORKS TECHNICALLY
### Core Volume Profile Methodology:
**1. Price Level Distribution:**
- Divides price range into user-defined rows (10-50 configurable)
- Calculates row height: `(Highest Price - Lowest Price) / Number of Rows`
- Distributes each bar's volume across price levels it touched proportionally
**2. Delta Volume Calculation Methods:**
**Price Action Method:**
```
Price Range = High - Low
Buy Pressure = (Close - Low) / Price Range
Sell Pressure = (High - Close) / Price Range
Buy Volume = Total Volume × Buy Pressure
Sell Volume = Total Volume × Sell Pressure
Delta = Buy Volume - Sell Volume
```
**Bid/Ask Estimation Method:**
```
Average Price = (High + Low + Close) / 3
Buy Volume = Close > Average ? Volume × 0.6 : Volume × 0.4
Sell Volume = Total Volume - Buy Volume
```
**Cumulative Method:**
```
Buy Volume = Close > Open ? Volume : Volume × 0.3
Sell Volume = Close ≤ Open ? Volume : Volume × 0.3
```
**3. Point of Control (POC) Identification:**
- Scans all price levels to find maximum volume concentration
- POC represents the price level with highest trading activity
- Acts as significant support/resistance level
- **Developing POC Feature**: Tracks POC evolution in real-time via blue dotted trail, showing how institutional interest migrates throughout the session. Upward POC migration indicates accumulation patterns, downward migration suggests distribution, providing early trend signals before price confirmation.
**4. Value Area Calculation:**
- Starts from POC and expands up/down to encompass 70% of total volume
- VAH (Value Area High): Upper boundary of value area
- VAL (Value Area Low): Lower boundary of value area
- Expansion algorithm prioritizes direction with higher volume
**5. Adaptive Range Selection:**
Based on profile type and timeframe optimization:
- **N Bars Back**: Fixed lookback period with performance optimization (20-500 bars)
- **Days Back**: Calendar-based analysis with automatic timeframe adjustment (1-365 days)
- **Session**: Current trading session or custom session times
### Performance Optimization Features:
- **Sampling Algorithm**: Reduces calculation load on large datasets while maintaining accuracy
- **Memory Management**: Clears previous drawings to prevent performance degradation
- **Safety Constraints**: Prevents excessive memory usage with configurable limits
## HOW TO USE THIS SCRIPT
### Initial Setup:
1. **Profile Configuration**: Select profile type based on trading style:
- N Bars Back: Precise control over data range
- Days Back: Intuitive calendar-based analysis
- Session: Real-time session development
2. **Row Density**: Set number of rows (30 default) - more rows = higher resolution, slower performance
3. **Delta Method**: Choose calculation method based on market type:
- Price Action: Best for trending markets
- Bid/Ask Estimate: Good for ranging markets
- Cumulative: Smoothed approach for volatile markets
4. **Visual Settings**: Configure colors, position (left/right), and display options
### Reading the Profile:
**Volume Bars:**
- **Length**: Represents relative volume at that price level
- **Color**: Green = net buying pressure, Red = net selling pressure
- **Intensity**: Darker colors indicate volume imbalances above threshold
**Key Levels:**
- **POC (Blue Line)**: Highest volume price - major support/resistance
- **VAH (Purple Dashed)**: Value Area High - upper boundary of fair value
- **VAL (Orange Dashed)**: Value Area Low - lower boundary of fair value
- **Value Area Fill**: Shaded region showing main trading range
**Developing POC Trail:**
- **Blue Dotted Lines**: Show real-time POC evolution throughout the session
- **Migration Patterns**: Upward trail indicates bullish accumulation, downward trail suggests bearish distribution
- **Early Signals**: POC movement often precedes price movement, providing advance warning of institutional activity
- **Institutional Footprints**: Reveals where smart money concentrated volume before final POC establishment
### Trading Applications:
**Support/Resistance Analysis:**
- POC acts as magnetic price level - expect reactions
- VAH/VAL provide intermediate support/resistance levels
- Profile edges show areas of low volume acceptance
**Developing POC Analysis:**
- **Upward Migration**: POC moving higher = institutional accumulation, bullish bias
- **Downward Migration**: POC moving lower = institutional distribution, bearish bias
- **Stable POC**: Tight clustering = balanced market, range-bound conditions
- **Early Trend Detection**: POC direction change often precedes price breakouts
**Entry Strategies:**
- Buy at VAL with POC as target (in uptrends)
- Sell at VAH with POC as target (in downtrends)
- Breakout plays above/below profile extremes
**Volume Imbalance Trading:**
- Strong buying imbalance (>60% threshold) suggests continued upward pressure
- Strong selling imbalance suggests continued downward pressure
- Imbalances near key levels provide high-probability setups
**Multi-Timeframe Context:**
- Use higher timeframe profiles for major levels
- Lower timeframe profiles for precise entries
- Session profiles for intraday trading structure

Bollinger Bands % | QuantEdgeB📊 Introducing Bollinger Bands % (BB%) by QuantEdgeB
🛠️ Overview
BB% | QuantEdgeB is a volatility-aware momentum tool that maps price within a Bollinger envelope onto a normalized scale. By letting you choose the base moving average (SMA, EMA, DEMA, TEMA, HMA, ALMA, EHMA, THMA, RMA, WMA, VWMA, T3, LSMA) and even Heikin-Ashi sources, it adapts to your style while keeping readings consistent across symbols and timeframes. Clear thresholds and color-coded visuals make it easy to spot emerging strength, fading moves, and potential mean-reversions.
✨ Key Features
• 🔹 Flexible Baseline
Pick from 12 MA types (plus Heikin-Ashi source option) to tailor responsiveness and smoothness.
• 🔹 Normalized Positioning
Price is expressed as a percentage of the band range, yielding an intuitive 0–100 style read (can exceed in extreme trends).

2️⃣ Normalization
The indicator measures where price sits between the lower and upper band, scaling that into a bounded oscillator (BB%).
3️⃣ Signal Logic
• ✅ Long when BB% rises above 55 (strength toward the top of the envelope).
• ❌ Short when BB% falls below 45 (weakness toward the bottom).
4️⃣ OB/OS Context
Shaded regions above/below typical ranges highlight exhaustion and potential snap-backs.
⚙️ Custom Settings
• Base MA Type: SMA, EMA, DEMA, TEMA, HMA, ALMA, EHMA, THMA, RMA, WMA, VWMA, T3, LSMA
• Source Mode: Classic price or Heikin-Ashi (close/open/high/hlc3)
• Base Length: default 40
• Band Width: standard deviation-based (2× SD by default)
• Long / Short Thresholds: defaults 55 / 45
• Color Mode: Alpha, MultiEdge, TradingSuite, Premium, Fundamental, Classic, Warm, Cold, Strategy
• Candles & Labels: optional candle coloring and signal markers
👥 Ideal For
✅ Trend Followers — Ride strength as price compresses near the upper band.
✅ Swing/Mean-Reversion Traders — Fade extremes when BB% stretches into OB/OS zones.
✅ Multi-Timeframe Analysts — Compare band position consistently across periods.
✅ System Builders — Use BB% as a normalized feature for strategies and filters.
📌 Conclusion

The indicator identifies "changing of the guard" moments when:
1. Pattern Formation: 2-4 consecutive bars show exhaustion in one direction
2. Reversal Confirmation: A counter-trend bar appears with strong momentum
3. Confluence Trigger: The reversal bar crosses through a significant VWAP or EMA level
Bullish COG: Green triangle appears below bars when bearish exhaustion meets bullish reversal at key support
Bearish COG: Red triangle appears above bars when bullish exhaustion meets bearish reversal at key resistance
💡 Trading Applications
Swing Trading: Use 3-bar mode with EMA 50/200 confluence for multi-day holds
Day Trading: Use 2-bar mode with Daily VWAP confluence for intraday reversals
Position Trading: Use 4-bar mode with Monthly VWAP confluence for major trend changes

This indicator identifies potential reversal points but should be used with proper risk management. Always consider:
• Overall market trend and structure
• Volume confirmation
• Multiple timeframe analysis
• Appropriate position sizing
Perfect for traders who want to catch reversals at institutional levels with high-probability setups. The confluence requirement ensures you're trading with the smart money, not against it.
Indicador Millo SMA20-SMA200-AO-RSI M1This indicator is designed for scalping in 1-minute timeframes on crypto pairs, combining trend direction, momentum, and oscillator confirmation.
Logic:
Trend Filter:
Only BUY signals when price is above the SMA200.
Only SELL signals when price is below the SMA200.
Entry Trigger:
BUY: Price crosses above the SMA20.
SELL: Price crosses below the SMA20.
Confirmation Window:
After the price cross, the Awesome Oscillator (AO) must cross the zero line in the same direction within a maximum of N bars (configurable, default = 4).
RSI must be > 50 for BUY and < 50 for SELL at the moment AO confirms.
Cooldown:
A cooldown period (configurable, default = 10 bars) prevents multiple signals of the same type in a short time, reducing noise in sideways markets.

Adjustable confirmation window, RSI threshold, and cooldown.
Alerts ready for BUY and SELL conditions.
Can be converted into a strategy for backtesting with TP/SL.
Suggested Use:
