Smart VWAP FVG SystemSmart VWAP FVG System - Professional Multi-Filter Trading Indicator
📊 OVERVIEW
The Smart VWAP FVG System is an advanced multi-layered trading indicator that combines institutional volume analysis, multi-timeframe VWAP trend confirmation, and Fair Value Gap detection to identify high-probability trade entries. This indicator uses a sophisticated filtering mechanism where signals appear only when multiple independent confirmation criteria align simultaneously.
Recommended Timeframe: 5-minute (M5) or higher. The indicator works best on M5, M15, and M30 charts for intraday trading.
🎯 ORIGINALITY & PURPOSE
This indicator is original because it combines three distinct analytical methods into a unified decision-making system:
Market Profile Volume Analysis - Identifies institutional accumulation/distribution zones
Dual VWAP Filtering - Confirms trend direction using two independent VWAP calculations
Fair Value Gap Detection - Validates institutional interest through price inefficiency zones
The key innovation is the directional filter system: the primary Market Profile generates BUY-ONLY or SELL-ONLY states based on higher timeframe value area reversals, which then controls which signals from the main system are displayed. This creates a multi-timeframe confluence that significantly reduces false signals.
Unlike simple indicator mashups, each component serves a specific purpose:
Market Profile → Direction bias (trend filter)
Primary VWAP (Session) → Short-term trend confirmation
Secondary VWAP (Week) → Medium-term trend confirmation
FVG Detection → Institutional activity validation
🔧 HOW IT WORKS
1. Primary Market Profile Filter (Higher Timeframe)
The indicator calculates Market Profile on a higher timeframe (default: 1 hour) to determine the overall market structure:
Value Area High (VAH): Top 70% of volume distribution
Value Area Low (VAL): Bottom 70% of volume distribution
Point of Control (POC): Price level with highest volume
When price reaches VAH and reverses down → SELL-ONLY mode activated
When price reaches VAL and reverses up → BUY-ONLY mode activated
This higher timeframe filter ensures you're trading in the direction of institutional flow.
2. Dual VWAP System
Two independent VWAP calculations provide multi-timeframe trend confirmation:
Primary VWAP (Session-based): Resets daily, tracks intraday momentum
Secondary VWAP (Week-based): Resets weekly, confirms longer-term trend
Filter Logic:
BUY signals require: Price > Primary VWAP AND Price > Secondary VWAP
SELL signals require: Price < Primary VWAP AND Price < Secondary VWAP
This dual confirmation prevents counter-trend trades during ranging conditions.
3. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection
FVG zones identify price inefficiencies where institutional orders were executed rapidly:
Bullish FVG: Gap between candle .high and candle .low (upward imbalance)
Bearish FVG: Gap between candle .high and candle .low (downward imbalance)
The indicator monitors recent FVG formation (lookback: 50 bars) and requires:
Bullish FVG present for BUY signals
Bearish FVG present for SELL signals
FVG zones are displayed as colored boxes and automatically marked as "mitigated" when price fills the gap.
4. Main Trading Signal Logic
The secondary Market Profile (default: 1 hour) generates the actual trading signals:
BUY Signal Conditions:
Price reaches Value Area Low
Reversal pattern confirmed (minimum 1 bar)
Price > Primary VWAP
Price > Secondary VWAP (if filter enabled)
Recent Bullish FVG detected (if filter enabled)
Primary MP Filter = BUY-ONLY or NEUTRAL
SELL Signal Conditions:
Price reaches Value Area High
Reversal pattern confirmed (minimum 1 bar)
Price < Primary VWAP
Price < Secondary VWAP (if filter enabled)
Recent Bearish FVG detected (if filter enabled)
Primary MP Filter = SELL-ONLY or NEUTRAL
All conditions must be TRUE simultaneously for a signal to appear.

⚠️ IMPORTANT WARNINGS & LIMITATIONS
1. Repainting Behavior
CRITICAL: This indicator uses lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on to access higher timeframe data immediately for FVG detection. This is necessary to provide real-time FVG zone visualization but has the following implications:
FVG zones may shift slightly until the higher timeframe candle closes
FVG detection signals are preliminary until HTF bar confirmation
The main trading signals (triangles) appear on confirmed bars and do not repaint
Best Practice: Always wait for the current timeframe bar to close before acting on signals. The filter status and FVG zones are informational but may adjust as new data arrives.
2. Minimum Timeframe
Do NOT use on timeframes below 5 minutes (M5)
Recommended: M5, M15, M30 for intraday trading
Higher timeframes (H1, H4) can also be used but will generate fewer signals
3. Multiple Filters Can Block Signals
By design, this indicator is conservative. When all filters are enabled:
Signals appear ONLY when all conditions align
You may see extended periods with no signals
This is intentional to reduce false positives
If you see no signals:
Check the Info Panel to see which filters are failing
Consider adjusting FVG lookback period
Temporarily disable FVG filter to test
Verify VWAP filters match current market trend
4. Market Profile Limitations
Market Profile requires sufficient volume data
Low-volume instruments may produce unreliable profiles
Value Areas update only on higher timeframe bar close
Works best on liquid markets (major forex pairs, indices, crypto)
📖 HOW TO USE
Step 1: Add to Chart
Apply indicator to M5 or higher timeframe chart
Ensure chart shows volume data
Use standard candles (NOT Heikin Ashi, Renko, etc.)
Step 2: Configure Settings
Primary MP Filter TF: Set to 60 (1 hour) minimum, or 240 (4 hour) for swing trading
Main MP TF: Set to 60 (1 hour) for intraday signals
FVG Timeframe: Match or exceed main MP timeframe
Leave other settings at default initially
Step 3: Understand the Info Panel
Monitor the top-right panel:
FILTER STATUS: Shows current directional bias
NEUTRAL = Both signals allowed
BUY ONLY = Only green triangles will appear
SELL ONLY = Only red triangles will appear
FVG Filter: Shows if bullish/bearish gaps detected recently
VWAP positions: Confirms trend alignment
Step 4: Take Signals
For BUY Signal (Green Triangle ▲):
Wait for green triangle to appear
Check Info Panel shows ✓ for BUY signals
Confirm current bar has closed
Enter long position
Stop loss: Below recent VAL or swing low
Target: Previous Value Area High or 1.5-2× risk
For SELL Signal (Red Triangle ▼):
Wait for red triangle to appear
Check Info Panel shows ✓ for SELL signals
Confirm current bar has closed
Enter short position
Stop loss: Above recent VAH or swing high
Target: Previous Value Area Low or 1.5-2× risk
Step 5: Risk Management
Risk per trade: Maximum 1-2% of account equity
Position sizing: Adjust based on stop loss distance
Avoid trading: During major news events or time filter periods
Multiple confirmations: Look for confluence with price action (support/resistance, trendlines)
🎓 UNDERLYING CONCEPTS
Market Profile Theory
Developed by J. Peter Steidlmayer in the 1980s, Market Profile organizes price and volume data to identify:
Value Areas: Where 70% of trading activity occurred
POC: Price level with highest acceptance (most volume)
Imbalances: When price moves away from value quickly
This indicator uses TPO (Time Price Opportunity) calculation method to build the volume profile distribution.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
VWAP represents the average price weighted by volume, showing where institutional traders are positioned:
Price above VWAP = Bullish (institutions accumulated lower)
Price below VWAP = Bearish (institutions distributed higher)
Using dual VWAP (Session + Week) creates multi-timeframe trend alignment.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Also known as "imbalance" or "inefficiency," FVG occurs when:
Price moves so rapidly that a gap forms in the candlestick structure
Indicates institutional order flow (large market orders)
Price often returns to "fill" these gaps (rebalance)
The 3-candle FVG pattern (gap between candle and candle ) is widely used in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology and Smart Money Concepts.

3D Cube Projection - √3 Diagonal3D Cube Projection - √3 Diagonal
OVERVIEW
This indicator implements Bradley F. Cowan's cube projection methodology from his "Four Dimensional Stock Market Structures & Cycles" work. It visualizes a 3D cube projected onto the 2D price-time chart, using the √3 (square root of 3) body diagonal as the primary analytical tool for identifying market structure and potential cycle termination points.
METHODOLOGY
The cube is constructed by selecting two pivot points (A and E) which form the body diagonal - the longest diagonal running through the cube's interior from one corner to the diagonally opposite corner. According to Cowan's geometric approach:
- Point A = Starting pivot (low or high)
- Point E = Ending pivot (opposite extreme)
- Body Diagonal (A→E) = √3 × cube side length
- Face Diagonal (A→C) = √2 × cube side length
The script calculates the cube dimensions by:
1. Measuring the total price range from A to E
2. Dividing by √3 to determine the cube side length in price
3. Distributing the time component across three equal segments
4. Projecting the 3D structure onto the 2D chart plane
FEATURES
✓ Interactive date selection for points A and E
✓ Automatic UPLEG/DOWNLEG detection
✓ All 8 cube vertices labeled (A-H)
✓ All 6 cube faces with independent color/opacity controls
✓ √3 body diagonal (red line by default)
✓ √2 face diagonal (orange line by default)
✓ Customizable cube lines, fills, and labels
✓ Information table showing key measurements
VISUAL CUSTOMIZATION
- Front & Back faces: Box fills for the two square faces
- Side faces: Left and right vertical faces
- Top & Bottom faces: Horizontal connecting faces
- Each group has independent color and opacity settings
- Label size and transparency fully adjustable
- Cube line styles (solid, dashed, dotted) for depth perception
IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS & DISCLOSURES
This indicator works within the inherent constraints of projecting 3D geometry onto a 2D price-time chart:
⚠️ VISUAL APPROXIMATION: This is a visual projection tool, not a mathematically perfect 3D cube. True 3D geometry cannot be accurately represented on a 2D plane without distortion.
⚠️ TIME DISTRIBUTION: The script divides the time axis into three equal segments (total bars ÷ 3) for practical visualization. This is an approximation that prioritizes visual coherence over strict geometric accuracy.
⚠️ UNIT SCALING: Price and time use different units (dollars vs. bars), making true isometric projection impossible. The cube appears proportional on screen but the dimensions are not directly comparable.
⚠️ 2D CONSTRAINT: We only have X (time) and Y (price) axes available. The Z-axis (depth) is simulated through visual projection techniques (line styles, shading).
INTENDED USE
This tool is designed for traders and analysts who study Bradley Cowan's geometric market analysis methods. It helps visualize:
- Market structure in geometric terms
- Potential support/resistance zones at cube edges
- Cycle timing relationships using √2 and √3 ratios
- Harmonic price-time relationships
The cube projection should be used as one component of a comprehensive analysis approach, combined with other technical tools and fundamental analysis.
MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
While the visual representation involves approximations, the core √3 relationship is mathematically sound:
- For any cube, the body diagonal = √3 × side length
- The face diagonal = √2 × side length
- These ratios are preserved in the price dimension calculations
HOW TO USE
1. Select your starting date (Point A) - typically a significant low or high
2. Select your ending date (Point E) - the opposite extreme pivot
3. The indicator automatically constructs the cube geometry
4. Analyze the cube edges, diagonals, and faces for market structure insights
5. Adjust colors and opacity to suit your chart aesthetic
TECHNICAL NOTES
- Works on all timeframes and instruments
- Best viewed on charts with sufficient historical data
- Cube updates in real-time as new bars form
- Range selection is marked with vertical lines and shading
- Calculator table shows Point A, Point E, side length, and bar measurements
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
This indicator is based on the geometric market analysis principles developed by Bradley F. Cowan. Users are encouraged to study Cowan's original works for deeper understanding of the theoretical framework.

Lord Mathew ATSThe Smart Money Structure & Pattern Analyzer is a complete, all-in-one visual trading system that brings together every essential element of Smart Money Concepts (SMC), ICT methodology, and candlestick psychology into one powerful indicator.
It is designed to help traders instantly understand the market’s structure, liquidity flow, and potential turning points without switching tools or manually marking charts. Whether you trade forex, indices, crypto, or commodities, this indicator automatically identifies where institutional activity, imbalances, and price inefficiencies occur in real time.
With its advanced algorithm, it plots market structure shifts, equal highs and lows, liquidity zones, order blocks, fair value gaps (FVGs), and previous week and day levels (PWO, PWH, PWL, PWC, PDO, PDH, PDL, PDO). It also integrates a deep candlestick recognition engine that detects over ten classic and advanced candle formations including engulfing patterns, dojis, hammers, shooting stars, morning/evening stars, and spinning tops to provide precise confirmation at critical points of interest.
This indicator isn’t just a tool it’s a complete market map that helps traders visualize how institutional order flow and candlestick sentiment interact.
Core Features
📊 Market Structure Detection:
Automatically marks swing highs/lows, Break of Structure (BOS), and Change of Character (CHOCH) in real time.
💧 Liquidity Mapping:
Highlights equal highs/lows and liquidity grabs, showing where price is likely to target before a reversal or continuation.
🧱 Order Block Visualization:
Displays the last bullish or bearish candle before an impulsive displacement, acting as a potential institutional entry zone.
⚡ Fair Value Gap (FVG) Scanner:
Detects and highlights imbalances where price moved too fast, helping you identify high-probability retracement areas.
🕯️ Candlestick Pattern Recognition:
Recognizes key reversal and continuation patterns (engulfing, hammer, shooting star, doji, morning/evening star, etc.) in real time.
📅 Institutional Reference Points:
Plots previous week & day open (PWO, PDO), previous week & day high (PWH, PWH), previous week & day low (PWL, PDL), previous week & day close (PWC, PDC) and optionally previous day levels to help frame bias.
🎨 Customizable Design:
Toggle any feature, change colors, and set alerts when multiple Smart Money signals align for cleaner, faster decision-making.
How It Works
Add the indicator to your chart on any timeframe or market.
The algorithm automatically detects structure, liquidity, and imbalance zones.
Candlestick patterns are highlighted when they form near high-probability areas (like OBs or FVGs).
When confluence occurs such as a liquidity grab, FVG fill, and bullish engulfing candle—the indicator provides a visual signal zone for your confirmation-based entries.
You can refine your trades using higher-timeframe bias (HTF order flow) and lower-timeframe execution (LTF confirmation).
Best For
Traders using ICT, Smart Money Concepts, or price-action systems.
Intraday and swing traders looking for clear, data-driven chart structure.
Traders who want to simplify confluence analysis and focus on precision execution.
Why It Stands Out
Unlike standard candlestick or pattern scanners, this indicator merges institutional market logic with technical candle behavior, allowing traders to see where smart money might be entering or exiting positions.
It’s not about random signals it’s about context, structure, and confirmation.
Every feature in this indicator is built around the principle of liquidity engineering:
price creates liquidity, grabs it, and moves toward imbalance or order flow efficiency.
By merging that institutional logic with candlestick patterns, this tool gives traders an edge in recognizing not only where to trade but why price is reacting in that exact area.
Disclaimer
This indicator is intended for educational and analytical use. It does not provide financial advice or guaranteed trading results. Always backtest and manage your risk responsibly.
Multi Pivot Trend [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Multi Pivot Trend is an advanced market-structure-driven trend engine that evaluates trend strength by scanning multiple pivot breakouts simultaneously.
Instead of relying on a single swing length, it tracks breakouts across ten increasing pivot lengths — then averages their behavior to produce a smooth, reliable trend reading.
Mitigation logic (close, wick, or HL2 touches) controls how breakouts are confirmed, giving traders institutional-style flexibility similar to BOS/CHoCH validation rules.
This indicator not only colors candles based on trend strength, but also extends trend strength and volatility-scaled projection candles to show where trend pressure may expand next.
Pivot breakout lines and labels mark key changes, making the trend transitions extremely clear.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Market trend strength is reflected by multiple pivot breakouts, not just one.
The indicator analyzes ten pivot structures from smaller to larger swings.
Each bullish or bearish pivot breakout contributes to trend score.
Mitigation options (close / wick / HL2) imitate smart-money breakout confirmation logic.
Trend score is averaged and translated into colors and extension bars.
Neutral regime ≈ weak trend or transition zone (trend compression).
🔵 FEATURES
Multi-Pivot Engine — tracks 10 pivot-based trend signals simultaneously.
Mitigation Modes :
• Close — breakout requires candle close beyond pivot
• Wicks — breakout requires wick violation
• HL2 — breakout confirmed when average (H+L)/2 crosses level
Dynamic Color System :
• Blue → confirmed bullish rotation
• Red → confirmed bearish rotation
• Orange → neutral / transition state
Breakout Visualization — draws pivot breakout lines in real-time.
Trend Labels — prints trend %.
Trend Volatility-Scaled Extension Candles — ATR/trend strength based candle projections show momentum continuation strength.
Gradient Pivot Encoding — higher pivot lengths = deeper structure considered.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use strong blue/red periods to follow dominant structural trend.
Watch for color transition into orange — possible trend change or consolidation.
Pivot breakout lines help validate structure shifts without clutter.
Wick mitigation catches aggressive liquidity-sweep based breaks.
Close/HL2 mitigation catches cleaner market structure rotations.
Extension bars visualize trend pressure — large extensions = strong push.
Best paired with volume or volatility confirmation tools.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Multi Pivot Trend is a structural trend recognition system that blends multiple pivot breakouts into one clean trend score — with institutional-style mitigation logic and volatility-projected trend extensions.
It gives traders a powerful, visually intuitive way to track momentum, spot trend rotations early, and understand true structural flow beyond simple MA-based approaches.
Use it to stay aligned with the dominant swing direction while avoiding noise and false flips.
Fib OscillatorWhat is Fib Oscillator and How to Use it?
🔶 1. Conceptual Overview
The Fib Oscillator is a Fibonacci-based relative position oscillator.
Instead of measuring momentum (like RSI or MACD), it measures where price currently sits between the recent swing high and swing low, expressed as a percentage within the Fibonacci range.
In other words:
It answers: “Where is price right now within its most recent dynamic range?”
It visualizes retracement and extension zones numerically, providing continuous feedback between 0% and 100% (and beyond if extended).
🔶 2. What the Script Does
The indicator:
Automatically detects recent high and low levels using an adaptive lookback window, which depends on ATR volatility.
Calculates the current price’s position between those levels as a percentage (0–100).
Plots that percentage as an oscillator — showing visually whether price is near the top, middle, or bottom of its recent range.
Overlays Fibonacci retracement levels (23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%) as reference zones.
Generates alerts when the oscillator crosses key Fib thresholds — which can signal retracement completion, breakout potential, or pullback exhaustion.
🔶 3. Technical Flow Breakdown
(a) Inputs
Input Description Default Notes
atrLength ATR period used for volatility estimation 14 Used to dynamically tune lookback sensitivity
minLookback Minimum lookback window (candles) 20 Ensures stability even in low volatility
maxLookback Maximum lookback window 100 Limits over-expansion during high volatility
isInverse Inverts chart orientation false Useful for inverse markets (e.g. shorts or inverse BTC view)
(b) Volatility-Adaptive Lookback
Instead of using a fixed lookback, it calculates:
lookback
=
SMA(ATR,10)
/
SMA(Close,10)
×
500
lookback=SMA(ATR,10)/SMA(Close,10)×500
Then it clamps this between minLookback and maxLookback.
This makes the oscillator:
More reactive during high volatility (shorter lookback)
More stable during calm markets (longer lookback)
Essentially, it self-adjusts to market rhythm — you don’t have to constantly tweak lookback manually.
(c) High-Low Reference Points
It takes the highest and lowest points within the dynamic lookback window.
If isInverse = true, it flips the candle logic (useful if viewing inverse instruments like stablecoin pairs or when analyzing bearish setups invertedly).
(d) Oscillator Core
The main oscillator line:
osc
=
(
close
−
low
)
(
high
−
low
)
×
100
osc=
(high−low)
(close−low)
×100
0% = Price is at the lookback low.
100% = Price is at the lookback high.
50% = Midpoint (balanced).
Between Fibonacci percentages (23.6%, 38.2%, 61.8%, etc.), the oscillator indicates retracement stages.
(e) Fibonacci Levels as Reference
It overlays horizontal reference lines at:
0%, 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%, 100%
These act as support/resistance bands in oscillator space.
You can read it similar to how traders use Fibonacci retracements on charts, but compressed into a single line oscillator.
(f) Alerts
The script includes built-in alert conditions for crossovers at each major Fibonacci level.
You can set TradingView alerts such as:
“Oscillator crossed above 61.8%” → possible bullish continuation or breakout.
“Oscillator crossed below 38.2%” → possible pullback or correction starting.
This allows automated monitoring of fib retracement completions without manually drawing fib levels.
🔶 4. How to Use It
🔸 Visual Interpretation
Oscillator Value Zone Market Context
0–23.6% Deep Retracement Potential exhaustion of a down-move / early reversal
23.6–38.2% Shallow retracement zone Possible continuation phase
38.2–50% Mid retracement Neutral or indecisive structure
50–61.8% Key pivot region Common trend resumption zone
61.8–78.6% Late retracement Often “last pullback” area
78.6–100% Near high range Possible overextension / profit-taking
>100% Range breakout New leg formation / expansion
🔸 Practical Application Steps
Load the indicator on your chart (set overlay = false, so it’s below the main price chart).
Observe oscillator position relative to fib bands:
Use it to determine retracement depth.
Combine with structure tools:
Trend lines, swing points, or HTF market structure.
Use crossovers for timing:
Crossing above 61.8% in an uptrend often confirms breakout continuation.
Crossing below 38.2% in a downtrend signals renewed downside momentum.
For range markets, oscillator swings between 23.6% and 78.6% can define accumulation/distribution boundaries.
🔶 5. When to Use It
During Retracements: To gauge how deep the pullback has gone.
During Range Markets: To identify relative overbought/oversold positions.
Before Breakouts: Crossovers of 61.8% or 78.6% often precede impulsive moves.
In Multi-Timeframe Contexts:
LTF (15M–1H): Detect intraday retracement exhaustion.
HTF (4H–1D): Confirm major range expansions or key reversal zones.
🔶 6. Ideal Companion Indicators
The Fib Oscillator works best when contextualized with structure, volatility, and trend bias indicators.
Below are optimal pairings:
Companion Indicator Purpose Integration Insight
Market Structure MTF Tool Identify active trend direction Use Fib Oscillator only in trend direction for cleaner signals
EMA Ribbon / Supertrend Trend confirmation Align oscillator crossovers with EMA bias
ATR Bands / Volatility Envelope Validate breakout strength If oscillator >78.6% & ATR rising → valid breakout
Volume Oscillator Confirm retracement strength Volume contraction + oscillator under 38.2% → potential reversal
HTF Fib Retracement Tool Combine LTF oscillator with HTF fib confluence Powerful multi-timeframe setups
RSI or Stochastic Measure momentum relative to position RSI divergence while oscillator near 78.6% → exhaustion clue
🔶 7. Understanding the Settings
Setting Function Practical Impact
ATR Period (14) Controls volatility sampling Higher = smoother lookback adaptation
Min Lookback (20) Smallest window allowed Lower = more reactive but noisier
Max Lookback (100) Largest window allowed Higher = smoother but slower to react
Inverse Candle Chart Flips oscillator vertically Useful when analyzing bearish or inverse scenarios (e.g. short-side fib mapping)
Recommended Configs:
For scalping/intraday: ATR 10–14, lookback 20–50
For swing/position trading: ATR 14–21, lookback 50–100
🔶 8. Example Trade Logic (Practical Use)
Scenario: Uptrend on 4H chart
Oscillator drops to below 38.2% → retracement zone
Price consolidates → oscillator stabilizes
Oscillator crosses above 50% → pullback ending
Entry: Long when oscillator crosses above 61.8%
Exit: Near 78.6–100% zone or upon divergence with RSI
For Short Bias (Inverse Setup):
Enable isInverse = true to visually flip the oscillator (so lows become highs).
Use the same thresholds inversely.
🔶 9. Strengths & Limitations
✅ Strengths
Dynamic, self-adapting to volatility
Quantifies Fib retracement as a continuous function
Compact oscillator view (no clutter on chart)
Works well across all timeframes
Compatible with both trending and ranging markets
⚠️ Limitations
Doesn’t define trend direction — must be used with structure filters
Can whipsaw during choppy consolidations
The “lookback auto-adjust” may lag in sudden volatility shifts
Shouldn’t be used standalone for entries without structural confluence
🔶 10. Summary
The “Fib Oscillator” is a dynamic Fibonacci-relative positioning tool that merges retracement theory with adaptive volatility logic.
It gives traders an intuitive, quantified view of where price sits within its recent fib range, allowing anticipation of pullbacks, reversals, or breakout momentum.
Think of it as a "Fibonacci RSI", but instead of momentum strength, it shows positional depth — the vibrational location of price within its natural swing cycle.
Orderblocks & BreakersThis indicator identifies potential orderblocks and breakers based on recent swing highs and lows. It is built to offer a structured, customizable, and noise-controlled view of how price interacts with supply and demand levels.
The script applies pivot-based swing detection to identify swing highs and lows.
Bullish Orderblocks: The script Identifies and stores the last down candle before a swing high is breached and confirms and plots the orderblock with a market structure break (close above the swing high).
Bearish Orderblocks: The script Identifies and stores the last up candle before a swing low is breached and confirms and plots the orderblock with a market structure break (close below the swing low).
When price later closes through an existing orderblock, it is reclassified as a Breaker and recolored accordingly. (all colors can be changed in the settings)
What Makes It Different
Unlike most orderblock tools that simply mark every swing-based block, this version introduces:
1. Chop Control – automatically hides breakers that price repeatedly closes through (2 closes after the orderblock becomes a breaker), keeping only relevant zones visible.
2. Recent Block Filtering – limits how many of the recent orderblocks or breakers are displayed, preventing chart clutter.
3. Dynamic Updating – orderblocks automatically convert to breakers when price closes beyond them, with clear color changes.
These features make it easier to study cleaner price structure without manually managing old or invalid zones. The optional Chop Control filter can reduce overlapping or repeatedly invalidated zones to keep the chart clearer.
Customizable Parameters
- Swing detection length (shorter means more aggressive pivot detection, longer means less aggressive so less highs/lows detected)
- Number of recent blocks to display
- Visibility toggles for orderblocks or breakers
- Color and transparency controls for each type
Alerts
Alerts can be set to trigger when price tests any defined zone.
Purpose
This indicator is designed as a price structure visualization and study tool.
It may assist in understanding how price interacts with previously active regions, but it does not produce signals or trade recommendations.
Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI [BOSWaves]Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI – Next-Level Momentum Smoothing & Signal Precision
Overview
The Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI transforms the classic Relative Strength Index into a robust, lag-minimized momentum oscillator through Holt-Winters triple exponential smoothing. By modeling the level, trend, and cyclical behavior of the RSI series, this indicator delivers smoother, more responsive signals that highlight overbought/oversold conditions, momentum shifts, and high-conviction trading setups without cluttering the chart with noise.
Unlike traditional RSI, which reacts to historical data and produces frequent whipsaws, the Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI filters transient price fluctuations, enabling traders to detect emerging momentum and potential reversal zones earlier.
Theoretical Foundation
The traditional RSI measures relative strength by comparing average gains and losses, but suffers from:
Lag in trend recognition : Signals often arrive after momentum has shifted.
Noise sensitivity : High-frequency price movements generate unreliable crossovers.
Limited insight into structural market shifts : Standard RSI cannot contextualize cyclical or momentum patterns.
The Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI addresses these limitations by applying triple exponential smoothing directly to the RSI series. This decomposes the series into:
Level (Lₜ) : Represents the smoothed central tendency of RSI.
Trend (Tₜ) : Captures rate-of-change in smoothed momentum.
Seasonal Component (Sₜ) : Models short-term cyclical deviations in momentum.
By incorporating these elements, the oscillator produces smoothed RSI values that react faster to emerging trends while suppressing erratic noise. Its internal forecast is mathematical, influencing the smoothed RSI output and signals, rather than being directly plotted.
How It Works
The Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI builds its signal framework through several layers:
1. Base RSI Calculation
Computes standard RSI over the selected period as the primary momentum input.
2. Triple Exponential Smoothing (Holt-Winters)
The RSI is smoothed recursively to extract underlying momentum structure:
Level, trend, and seasonal components are combined to produce a smoothed RSI.
This internal smoothing reduces lag and enhances signal reliability.
3. Momentum Analysis
Short-term momentum shifts are tracked via a moving average of the smoothed RSI, highlighting acceleration or deceleration in directional strength.
4. Volume Confirmation (Optional)
Buy/sell signals can be filtered through a configurable volume threshold, ensuring only high-conviction moves trigger alerts.
5. Visual Output
Colored Candles : Represent overbought (red), oversold (green), or neutral (yellow) conditions.
Oscillator Panel : Plots the smoothed RSI with dynamic color coding for immediate trend context.
Signals : Triangular markers indicate bullish or bearish setups, with stronger signals flagged in extreme zones.
Interpretation
The Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI provides a multi-dimensional perspective on price action:
Trend Strength : Smoothed RSI slope and color coding reflect the direction and momentum intensity.
Momentum Shifts : Rapid changes in the smoothed RSI indicate emerging strength or weakness.
Overbought/Oversold Zones : Highlight areas where price is stretched relative to recent momentum.
High-Conviction Signals : Combined with volume filtering, markers indicate optimal entries/exits.
Cycle Awareness : Smoothing reveals structural patterns, helping traders avoid reacting to noise.
By combining these elements, traders gain early insight into market structure and momentum without relying on raw, lag-prone RSI data.
Strategy Integration
The Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI can be applied across trading styles:
Trend Following
Enter when RSI is aligned with price momentum and color-coded signals confirm trend direction.
Strong slope in the smoothed RSI signals trend continuation.
Reversal Trading
Look for RSI extremes with momentum shifts and strong signal markers.
Compression in oscillator values often precedes reversal setups.
Breakout Detection
Oscillator flattening in neutral zones followed by directional expansion indicates potential breakout conditions.
Multi-Timeframe Confluence
Higher timeframes provide directional bias; lower timeframes refine entry timing using smoothed RSI dynamics.
Technical Implementation Details
Input Source : Close, open, high, low, or price.
Smoothing : Holt-Winters triple exponential smoothing applied to RSI.
Parameters :
Level (α) : Controls smoothing of RSI.
Trend (β) : Adjusts responsiveness to momentum changes.
Seasonal Length : Defines cycles for short-term adjustments.
Delta Smoothing : Reduces choppiness in smoothed RSI difference.
Outputs :
Smoothed RSI
Colored candles and oscillator panel
Buy/Sell signal markers (with optional strength filtering)
Volume Filtering : Optional threshold to confirm signals.
Optimal Application Parameters
Asset-Specific Guidance:
Forex : Use moderate smoothing (α, β) to capture medium-term momentum swings while filtering minor price noise. Works best when combined with volume or volatility filters.
Equities : Balance responsiveness and smoothness to identify sustained sector momentum or rotational shifts; ideal for capturing clean directional transitions.
Cryptocurrency : Increase smoothing parameters slightly to stabilize RSI during extreme volatility; optional volume confirmation can help filter false signals.
Futures/Indices : Lower smoothing sensitivity emphasizes macro momentum and structural trend durability over short-term fluctuations.
Timeframe Optimization:
Scalping (1-5m) : Use higher sensitivity (lower smoothing factors) to react quickly to micro-momentum reversals.
Intraday (15m-1h) : Balance smoothing and responsiveness for detecting short-term acceleration and exhaustion zones.
Swing (4h-Daily) : Apply moderate smoothing to reveal underlying directional persistence and cyclical reversals.
Position (Daily-Weekly) : Use stronger smoothing to isolate dominant momentum trends and filter temporary pullbacks.
Integration Guidelines
Combine with trend filters (EMAs, SuperSmoother MA, ATR-based tools) for confirmation.
Use volume and signal strength markers to filter low-conviction trades.
Slope, color, and signal alignment can guide entry, stop placement, and scaling.
Disclaimer
The Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI is a technical analysis tool, not a guaranteed profit system. Effectiveness depends on proper settings, market structure, and disciplined risk management. Always backtest before live trading.
Bitcoin Cycle History Visualization [SwissAlgo]BTC 4-Year Cycle Tops & Bottoms
Historical visualization of Bitcoin's market cycles from 2010 to present, with projections based on weighted averages of past performance.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CALCULATION METHODOLOGY
Why Bottom-to-Bottom Cycle Measurement?
This indicator defines cycles as bottom-to-bottom periods. This is one of several valid approaches to Bitcoin cycle analysis:
- Focuses on market behavior (price bottoms) rather than supply schedule events (halving-to-halving)
- Bottoms may offer good reference points for some analytical purposes
- Tops tend to be extended periods that are harder to define precisely
- Aligns with how some traditional asset cycles are measured and the timing observed in the broader "risk-on" assets category
- Halving events are shown separately (yellow backgrounds) for reference
- Neither halving-based nor bottom-based measurement is inherently superior
Different analysts prefer different cycle definitions based on their analytical goals. This approach prioritizes observable market turning points.
Cycle Date Definitions
- Approximate monthly ranges used for each event (e.g., Nov 2022 bottom = Nov 1-30, 2022)
- Cycle 1: Jul 2010 bottom → Jun 2011 top → Nov 2011 bottom
- Cycle 2: Nov 2011 bottom → Dec 2013 top → Jan 2015 bottom
- Cycle 3: Jan 2015 bottom → Dec 2017 top → Dec 2018 bottom
- Cycle 4: Dec 2018 bottom → Nov 2021 top → Nov 2022 bottom
- Future cycles will be added as new top/bottom dates become firm
Duration Calculations
- Days = timestamp difference converted to days (milliseconds ÷ 86,400,000)
- Bottom → Top: days from cycle bottom to peak
- Top → Bottom: days from peak to next cycle bottom
- Bottom → Bottom: full cycle duration (sum of above)
Price Change Calculations
- % Change = ((New Price - Old Price) / Old Price) × 100
- Example: $200 → $19,700 = ((19,700 - 200) / 200) × 100 = 9,750% gain
- Approximate historical prices used (rounded to significant figures)
Weighted Average Formula
Recent cycles weighted more heavily to reflect the evolved market structure:
- Cycle 1 (2010-2011): EXCLUDED (too early-stage, tiny market cap)
- Cycle 2 (2011-2015): Weight = 1x
- Cycle 3 (2015-2018): Weight = 3x
- Cycle 4 (2018-2022): Weight = 5x
Formula: Weighted Avg = (C2×1 + C3×3 + C4×5) / (1+3+5)
Example for Bottom→Top days: (761×1 + 1065×3 + 1066×5) / 9 = 1,032 days
Projection Method
- Projected Top Date = Nov 2022 bottom + weighted avg Bottom→Top days
- Projected Bottom Date = Nov 2022 bottom + weighted avg Bottom→Bottom days
- Current days elapsed compared to weighted averages
- Warning symbol (⚠) shown when the current cycle exceeds the historical average
Technical Implementation
- Historical cycle dates are hardcoded (not algorithmically detected)
- Dates represent approximate monthly ranges for each event
- The indicator will be updated as the Cycle 5 top and bottom dates become confirmed
- Updates require manual code maintenance - not automatic
- Users should verify they're using the latest version for current cycle data
-----------------------------------------------------------------
FEATURES
- Background highlights for historical tops (red), bottoms (green), and halving events (yellow)
- Data table showing cycle durations and price changes
- Visual cycle boundary boxes with subtle coloring
- Projected timeframes displayed as dashed vertical lines
- Toggle on/off for each visual element
- Customizable background colors
-----------------------------------------------------------------
DISPLAY SETTINGS
- Show/hide cycle tops, bottoms, halvings, data table, and cycle boxes
- Customizable background colors for each event type
- Clean, institutional-grade visual design suitable for analysis
UPDATES & MAINTENANCE
This indicator is maintained as new cycle events occur. When Cycle 5's top and bottom are confirmed with sufficient time elapsed, the code and projections will be updated accordingly. Check for the latest version periodically.

Code available for review, modification, and improvement. Educational transparency is prioritized.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS
⚠ EXTREMELY SMALL SAMPLE SIZE
Based on only 4 complete cycles (2011-2022). In statistical analysis, this is insufficient for reliable predictions.
⚠ CHANGED MARKET STRUCTURE
Bitcoin's market has fundamentally evolved since early cycles:
- 2010-2015: Tiny market cap, retail-only, unregulated
- 2024-2025: Institutional adoption, spot ETFs, regulatory frameworks, macro correlation
The environment that created past patterns no longer exists in the same form.
⚠ NO PREDICTIVE GUARANTEE
Historical patterns can and do break. Market cycles are not laws of physics. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The next cycle may not follow historical averages.
⚠ LENGTHENING CYCLE THEORY
Some analysts believe cycles are extending over time (diminishing returns, maturing market). If true, simple averaging underestimates future cycle lengths.
⚠ SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY RISK
The halving narrative may be partially circular - it works because people believe it works. Sufficient changes in market structure or participant behavior can invalidate the pattern.
⚠ APPROXIMATE DATA
Historical prices rounded to significant figures. Exact bottom/top dates vary by exchange. Month-long ranges are used for simplicity.
EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY
This indicator is designed for historical analysis and understanding Bitcoin's past behavior. It is NOT:
- Trading advice or financial recommendations
- A guarantee or prediction of future price movements
- Suitable as a sole basis for investment decisions
- A replacement for fundamental or technical analysis
The projections show "what if the pattern continues exactly" - not "what will happen."
Always conduct independent research, understand the risks, and consult qualified financial advisors before making investment decisions. Only invest what you can afford to lose.

AMHA + 4 EMAs + EMA50/200 Counter + Avg10CrossesDescription:
This script combines two types of Heikin-Ashi visualization with multiple Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and a counting function for EMA50/200 crossovers. The goal is to make trends more visible, measure recurring market cycles, and provide statistical context without generating trading signals.
Logic in Detail:
Adaptive Median Heikin-Ashi (AMHA):
Instead of the classic Heikin-Ashi calculation, this method uses the median of Open, High, Low, and Close. The result smooths out price movements, emphasizes trend direction, and reduces market noise.
Standard Heikin-Ashi Overlay:
Classic HA candles are also drawn in the background for comparison and transparency. Both HA types can be shifted below the chart’s price action using a customizable Offset (Ticks) parameter.
EMA Structure:
Five exponential moving averages (21, 50, 100, 200, 500) are included to highlight different trend horizons. EMA50 and EMA200 are emphasized, as their crossovers are widely monitored as potential trend signals. EMA21 and EMA100 serve as additional structure layers, while EMA500 represents the long-term trend.
EMA50/200 Counter:
The script counts how many bars have passed since the last EMA50/200 crossover. This makes it easy to see the age of the current trend phase. A colored label above the chart displays the current counter.
Average of the Last 10 Crossovers (Avg10Crosses):
The script stores the last 10 completed count phases and calculates their average length. This provides historical context and allows traders to compare the current cycle against typical past behavior.
Benefits for Analysis:
Clearer trend visualization through adaptive Heikin-Ashi calculation.
Multi-EMA setup for quick structural assessment.
Objective measurement of trend phase duration.
Statistical insight from the average cycle length of past EMA50/200 crosses.
Flexible visualization through adjustable offset positioning below the price chart.
Usage:
Add the indicator to your chart.
For a clean look, you may switch your chart type to “Line” or hide standard candlesticks.
Interpret visual signals:
White candles = bullish phases
Orange candles = bearish phases
EMAs = structural trend filters (e.g., EMA200 as a long-term boundary)
The counter label shows the current number of bars since the last cross, while Avg10 represents the historical mean.
Special Feature:
This script is not a trading system. It does not provide buy/sell recommendations. Instead, it serves as a visual and statistical tool for market structure analysis. The unique combination of Adaptive Median Heikin-Ashi, multi-EMA framework, and EMA50/200 crossover statistics makes it especially useful for trend-followers and swing traders who want to add cycle-length analysis to their toolkit.
Heikin Ashi Overlay SuiteHeikin Ashi Overlay Suite is designed to give traders more control and clarity when working with Heikin Ashi candles — whether you're analyzing trend strength, reducing chart noise, or simply improving your visual read of market momentum. It works by layering multiple types of HA overlays and color systems on top of your standard candlestick chart — without switching chart types. With dynamic gradient coloring, smoothing options, and a predictive line tool, this script helps you see not just what the current trend is, but how strong it is, and what it would take to reverse it.
Heikin Ashi candles help reduce noise but this script goes further by:
➡️adding color intelligence that shows trend strength using a streak counter
➡️uses smoothing logic to clean up chop and whipsaws
➡️introduces a predictive close line — a subtle but powerful guide for anticipating trend flips before they happen
Everything is configurable: colors, candle sources, overlays, predictive tools, and line styles. It’s built for traders who want visual speed, but don’t want to sacrifice signal quality.
At its core, the script offers two powerful dropdown controls:
💥HA Color Scheme (Colors Regular Candles) — Applies Heikin Ashi-derived coloring to your regular candles based on trend direction or streak strength. This gives you instant visual context without switching to a separate chart type.
💥HA Candle Overlay Mode — Overlays actual Heikin Ashi-style candles directly on top of your chart, using your preferred source:
➡️Custom HA candles using internal formula logic
➡️TradingView’s built-in Heikin Ashi source with your own colors
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
🎨 Custom + Gradient HA Coloring🎨
See trend strength at a glance:
➡️1–4 bar streaks → lighter tone
➡️5–8 bars → medium tone
➡️9+ bars → bold tone, ideal for momentum-based entries, exits, or scaling strategies
→ Choose from:
➡️Your own custom color set
➡️A simple 2-color base mode
➡️Or a 3-level gradient for progressive trend analysis (using the streak counter)
🏛️ TradingView Official Heikin Ashi Overlay
Prefer native HA candles but want your own colors?
This mode plots TradingView's Heikin Ashi source, with your personal bullish/bearish color scheme.
➡️Ensures consistency with built-in charts while still leveraging your visual style.
🌊 Smoothed Heikin Ashi Candles — Clarity in Chaos🌊
These aren’t your standard HA candles. Smoothed Heikin Ashi uses a two-step EMA process to transform chaotic price action into a cleaner, slower-moving trend structure:
🔹 First, it smooths the raw OHLC data using EMA — filtering out minor price fluctuations.
🔹 Then, it applies the Heikin Ashi transformation on top of the smoothed data.
🔹 Finally, it applies a second EMA smoothing pass to the HA values — creating ultra-smooth candles.
📈 What You See:
Trends appear more fluid and consistent.
Choppy ranges and fakeouts are visually suppressed.
Minor pullbacks within a trend are de-emphasized, helping you avoid premature exits.
🎯 Best For:
Swing traders looking to stay in positions longer.
Intraday traders dealing with volatile or noisy instruments.
Anyone who wants a "trend map" overlay without the distractions of raw price action.
✅ Reduces whipsaws
✅ Delivers high-contrast trend zones
✅ Makes reversals more visually apparent (but with a slight lag)
📍 Predictive Close Line📍
Shows where the real close must land to flip the current HA candle's color.
✅ Use it like predictive support/resistance
✅ Know if the trend is actually at risk
✅Visualize potential fakeouts or confirmation
Color-coded based on current HA direction (bullish, bearish, or neutral).
📈 Tick by tick & bar-to-bar Plots📈
Provides 2 plot types:
1)1 plot that tracks a bar tick by tick
2)another plot that tracks the close from bar to bar
For the bar to bar plot, you can choose between 2 options:
✅Full Plot — continuous line colored by HA trend
✅Recent Segments — color just the last few bars (configurable) to reduce chart clutter
✅ Customize width, number of bars, and visibility
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
📘 How to Use this script📘
Imagine you're watching a choppy 15-minute chart on a volatile crypto pair — price action is messy, and it’s hard to tell if a trend is forming or just noise.
Here’s how to cut through the chaos using Heikin Ashi Overlay Suite:
🔹 Step 1: Enable "Smoothed HA Candles"
Start by turning on the smoothed candles. You’ll immediately notice the noise fades, and broader directional moves become easier to follow. It's like switching from static to clean trend zones.
🧠 Why: Smoothed HA uses a double EMA process that filters out small reversals and lets larger moves stand out. Perfect for sideways or jittery charts.
🔹 Step 2: Watch the Color Gradient Build
As the smoothed candles begin to align in one direction, the gradient coloring (1–4, 5–8, 9+ streaks) gives you an at-a-glance visual of how strong the trend is.
✅ If you see 9+ same-colored candles? You’re likely in a mature trend.
✅ If it resets often? You’re in chop — consider staying out.
🔹 Step 3: Use the Predictive Close Line for Anticipation
Now here’s the edge — this line tells you where the candle would have to close to flip colors.
📉 If price is hovering just above it during a bullish run — momentum may be weakening.
📈 If price bounces off it — the trend may be strengthening.
This is excellent for confirming entries, exits, or spotting early warning signs.
🔹 Step 4: Switch Between Candle Modes as Needed
You can flip between:
✅ Custom HA: Gradient candles with your colors
✅ TradingView HA: The official source with your styling
✅ None: Just color regular candles using the HA logic
Use what fits your style — everything is modular.
🔹 Step 5: Tune It to Your Chart
Lastly, tweak streak thresholds (currently only can do this within the source code), smoothing lengths, and line styles to match your timeframe and strategy.
🎯 Tailor The Settings to Fit Your Trading Style🎯
🔹 🧪 Scalper (1–5 min charts)
If you’re trading fast intraday moves, you want quicker responsiveness and less lag.
Try these settings:
🔸Smoothing Lengths: Use lower values (e.g. len = 3, len2 = 5)
🔸Candle Mode: Use Custom HA or TV’s HA for real-time color flips
🔸Predictive Close Line: Great for ultra-fast anticipation of color reversals
🔸Line Mode: Use Recent Segments mode to track short bursts of trend
🔸Colors: Use high-contrast, opaque colors for clarity
✅ These settings help you catch micro-trends and flip signals faster, while still filtering out the worst of the noise.
🔹 🧪 Swing Trader (30m–4h charts and beyond)
If you’re looking for multi-hour or multi-day trend confirmation, prioritize clarity and staying in moves longer.
Recommended setup:
🔸Smoothing Lengths: Medium to high values (e.g. len = 8, len2 = 21)
🔸Candle Mode: Use Smoothed HA Candles to block out intrabar chop
🔸Gradient Colors: Enable to visualize trend maturity and strength
🔸Predictive Close Line: Helps confirm trend continuation or spot early reversals
🔸Line Mode: Use Full Plot Line for clean HA-based trend tracking
✅ These settings give you a calm, clean view of the bigger picture — ideal for holding positions longer and avoiding early exits.
🔧 This script isn’t just a chart overlay — it’s a visual trend engine.🔧
Ideal For:
🔶 Trend-followers who want clean, color-coded confirmation
🔶 Reversal traders spotting exhaustion via predictive flips
🔶 Scalpers filtering noise with lighter smoothing
🔶 Swing traders using smoothed visuals to hold longer
📌 Final Note
Heikin Ashi Overlay Pro is designed to help you see momentum, trend shifts, and market structure with greater clarity — not to predict price on its own. For best results:
✔️ Combine with support/resistance, moving averages, or price action patterns
✔️ Use Predictive Close as a confirmation tool, not a signal generator
✔️ Pair gradient colors with structure to gauge trend maturity
✔️ Always zoom out and check higher timeframes for context
🧠 Use this as part of a layered approach — not a standalone system.

Higher High Lower Low Higher High Lower Low 🦉{Phanchai} — TradingView Description
Structure detector with dynamic Support/Resistance, customizable labels, and ready-made alerts (Pine v6).
This script marks market structure turning points — HH (Higher High), HL (Higher Low), LH (Lower High), LL (Lower Low) — and builds segmented Support/Resistance lines from those turns. Labels and colors are fully customizable and the script ships with multiple alert conditions.
What it does
Detects swing pivots using left/right bar windows, then classifies each confirmed swing as HH/HL/LH/LL.
Plots compact labels at the confirmed pivot bars with tooltips (English).
Derives dynamic Support / Resistance : every time structure flips, the previous level is closed and a new segment starts, extending to the right .
Provides alert conditions for any label and for specific first-occurrence shifts (e.g., first HH after a bearish label).
How it works (in short)
A pivot high/low confirms only after Right Bars candles have closed; labels and S/R appear at that confirmation bar.
An internal backbone (zigzag-like) is built from confirmed pivots, with light consistency checks to avoid contradictory sequences.
Structure rules compare the recent five pivots (A…E) to decide HH/HL/LH/LL.
S/R is updated from structure: e.g., in an up leg, new HLs refresh Support; in a down leg, new LHs refresh Resistance.
Alerts included
Any structure label (HH/HL/LH/LL) — Fires on any new label.
First LL after HL/HH — First bearish break after a bullish label.
First HH after LL/LH — First bullish break after a bearish label.
LL or HL formed — Any low-side label.
LH or HH formed — Any high-side label.
HL formed
HH formed
LL formed
LH formed
How to use (quick start)
Add the indicator to your chart.
Choose Left/Right Bars for your timeframe (e.g., 5–10 for intraday; larger for higher timeframes).
Pick your label colors/sizes and S/R style.
Right-click the chart → Add alert… → Condition: this indicator → select the desired alert.
Notes & tips
Because pivots require Right Bars to confirm, labels and S/R appear with a natural delay of that many bars. This avoids repainting.
Raising Left/Right Bars reduces noise and increases the average distance between pivots; lowering them increases sensitivity.
Structure is strict: sometimes you may see two HL (or two LH) in a row if the intermediate opposite swing didn’t qualify as HH/LH (or LL/HL).
S/R segments are drawn with line objects ; they are controlled via Inputs (style/width/color), not the Style tab.
This tool highlights structure; it’s not a standalone entry/exit system. Combine with volume, trend, or risk management rules.
Built with Pine v6. Clean, compact labels; segmented S/R that updates only on confirmed changes; comprehensive alerts ready for automation.

Volume: OBV-style cumulative flow slope + volume surge vs SMA×multiplier.
Market Structure: Confirmed pivots, BOS (break of structure) and CHOCH (change of character).
HTF Filter: Closed higher-timeframe context via request.security(..., barmerge.gaps_on, barmerge.lookahead_off).
Why it does not repaint
Signals are computed and plotted on closed bars only.
Pivots/divergences use confirmed pivot points (no forward look).
HTF series are fetched with lookahead_off and use the last closed HTF bar in realtime.
No future bar references are used for entries or alerts.
How to use (3 steps)
Pick a timeframe pair: use a 4–6× HTF multiplier (5m→30m, 15m→1h, 1h→4h, 4h→1D, 1D→1W).
Trade with the HTF: take longs only when the HTF filter is bullish; shorts only when bearish.
Prefer expansion: act when BB width > its average and ATR% is elevated; skip most signals in compression.
Suggested presets (start here)
Crypto (BTC/ETH): 15m→1h, 1h→4h. stLen=10, stMult=3.0, bbLen=20, surgeMul=1.8–2.2, thresholds +40 / −40 (intraday can try +35 / −35).
Forex majors: 15m→1h, 1h→4h. stLen=10–14, stMult=2.5–3.0, surgeMul=1.5–1.8, thresholds +35 / −35 (swing: +45 / −45).
US equities (liquid): 5m→30m/1h, 15m→1h/2h. stMult=3.0–3.5, surgeMul=1.6–2.0, thresholds +45 / −45 to reduce chop.
Indices (ES/NQ): 5m→30m, 15m→1h. Defaults are fine; start at +40 / −40.
Gold/Oil: 15m→1h, 1h→4h. Thresholds +35 / −35, surgeMul=1.6–1.9.
Inputs (plain English)
Use Supertrend (off = KAMA): choose the trend baseline.
EMA Fast/Mid/Slow: 20/50/200 by default for classic stack.
RSI/MACD + divergence pivots: momentum and exhaustion context.
ATR Length & BB Length: volatility regime detection.
Volume SMA & Surge Multiplier: defines “meaningful” volume spikes.
Pivot left/right & “Confirm BOS/CHOCH on Close”: structure strictness.
Enable HTF & Higher Timeframe: confirms the lower timeframe direction.
Thresholds (+long / −short): when the score crosses these, you get signals.
Signals & alerts (IDs preserved)
Entry shapes plot at bar close when the score crosses thresholds.
Alerts you can enable:
CONFLUENCE LONG — long entry signal
CONFLUENCE SHORT — short entry signal
BULLISH BIAS — score turned positive
BEARISH BIAS — score turned negative
Best practices
Focus on signals with HTF agreement and volatility expansion; require volume participation (surge or rising OBV slope) for higher quality.
Raise thresholds (+45/−45 or +50/−50) to reduce whipsaws in choppy sessions.
Lower thresholds (+35/−35) only if you also require volatility/volume filters.
Performance & scope
Works across crypto/FX/equities/indices; no broker data or special feeds required.
No repainting by design; signals/alerts are computed on closed bars.
As with any tool, results vary by regime; always combine with risk management.

Smart Money SignalsSmart Money Signals – Market Flow & Structure Visualizer
Overview
Smart Money Signals is a precision trading tool designed for traders who want to see market structure and momentum flow in real time. By detecting pivots, momentum imbalances, and dynamic support/resistance levels, the indicator transforms raw price action into a clear visual narrative of where capital is entering and exiting the market.
Instead of lagging averages or cluttered signals, Smart Money Signals highlights the moments that matter most—where bullish and bearish flows are confirmed, where support or resistance breaks, and where momentum zones show the true battleground between buyers and sellers. Its adaptive design makes it equally effective for scalpers seeking sharp entries, swing traders tracking reversals, and longer-term traders looking for confirmation of bias.
How It Works
The engine behind Smart Money Signals relies on swing detection and a configurable sensitivity filter. By monitoring directional momentum across recent bars, the system identifies bullish pivots (where downside exhaustion flips into strength) and bearish pivots (where upward thrust collapses into weakness).
When price confirms a pivot, the indicator draws flow lines to mark the breakout and labels them as either continuation or reversal events, depending on existing market bias. Momentum zones are automatically plotted, highlighting the critical areas where buyers defended price or sellers pressed it lower.
Dynamic support and resistance levels extend forward in time, updating live as price develops. These zones change color when broken, visually signaling whether structure has held or failed. Gradient background shading further emphasizes moments of extreme momentum, such as overbought or oversold surges, so that traders instantly see when market pressure intensifies.
Signals and Market Flows
Smart Money Signals provides visual cues that are both intuitive and actionable:
📈 Bullish Flow Signals appear when price breaks above a confirmed pivot, signaling continuation or reversal into strength.
📉 Bearish Flow Signals appear when price breaks below a confirmed pivot, indicating continuation or reversal into weakness.
Momentum Zones highlight the defended areas between pivots, giving traders a visual map of where structure is strongest.
Dynamic Support & Resistance lines extend across the chart, shifting from defense to failure when broken, ensuring that the most relevant levels are always visible.
Break Signals mark the exact bar where key levels give way, confirming structural violations in real time.
By filtering out noise and focusing on meaningful flow events, the system helps traders avoid overreaction and focus only on high-probability structural shifts.
Strategy Integration
Smart Money Signals is versatile across trading styles:
Trend Continuation : Enter in the direction of flow signals, using dynamic zones as both confirmation and stop-loss placement.
Reversal Trading : Watch for pivots tagged as reversal points, where market bias flips and new structure is created.
Momentum Zone Entries : Use the automatically drawn zones to identify low-risk entries on pullbacks or retests.
Bias Alignment : The integrated dashboard reveals the current market bias—bullish, bearish, or neutral—helping traders stay aligned with the dominant flow.
Stop-losses can be positioned beyond the dynamic zone on the opposite side, while take-profits may be guided by the width of zones or momentum-driven extensions. On higher timeframes, the indicator provides context for macro structure, while lower timeframes allow for tactical entry refinement.
Advanced Techniques
Traders seeking deeper precision can combine Smart Money Signals with volume or order flow tools to validate pivots and zone defenses. Monitoring the sequence of bullish and bearish flows helps identify trend maturity, while analyzing the success rate of pivots in the analytics panel builds a data-driven approach to confidence in signals.
Adjusting swing period and sensitivity allows the indicator to adapt to different market conditions, from volatile crypto pairs to steady forex majors. The flexible visual themes—Cyber, Ocean, Sunset, Matrix—ensure readability across setups, while gradient shading keeps the chart intuitive even under fast-moving conditions.
Why Use Smart Money Signals
Markets are driven by liquidity, momentum, and structure. Smart Money Signals uncovers these forces by translating price action into a clear visual map of flow. It shows:
Where structure was built.
Where it was defended.
Where it was broken.
And where momentum is likely to carry next.
By combining flow detection, dynamic zones, and a live analytics dashboard, the indicator provides traders with a complete framework for reading price action in real time.
Whether you trade crypto, forex, or indices, Smart Money Signals adapts seamlessly to any asset class, giving you clarity, precision, and confidence to execute without second-guessing.

Correlation HeatMap [TradingFinder] Sessions Data Science Stats🔵 Introduction
n financial markets, correlation describes the statistical relationship between the price movements of two assets and how they interact over time. It plays a key role in both trading and investing by helping analyze asset behavior, manage portfolio risk, and understand intermarket dynamics. The Correlation Heatmap is a visual tool that shows how the correlation between multiple assets and a central reference asset (the Main Symbol) changes over time.
It supports four market types forex, stocks, crypto, and a custom mode making it adaptable to different trading environments. The heatmap uses a color-coded grid where warmer tones represent stronger negative correlations and cooler tones indicate stronger positive ones. This intuitive color system allows traders to quickly identify when assets move together or diverge, offering real-time insights that go beyond traditional correlation tables.
🟣 How to Interpret the Heatmap Visually ?
Each cell represents the correlation between the main symbol and one compared asset at a specific time.
Warm colors (e.g. red, orange) suggest strong negative correlation as one asset rises, the other tends to fall.
Cool colors (e.g. blue, green) suggest strong positive correlation both assets tend to move in the same direction.
Lighter shades indicate weaker correlations, while darker shades indicate stronger correlations.
The heatmap updates over time, allowing users to detect changes in correlation during market events or trading sessions.
One of the standout features of this indicator is its ability to overlay global market sessions such as Tokyo, London, New York, or major equity opens directly onto the heatmap timeline. This alignment lets traders observe how correlation structures respond to real-world session changes. For example, they can spot when assets shift from being inversely correlated to moving together as a new session opens, potentially signaling new momentum or macro flow. The customizable symbol setup (including up to 20 compared assets) makes it ideal not only for forex and crypto traders but also for multi-asset and sector-based stock analysis.
🟣 Use Cases and Advantages
Analyze sector rotation in equities by tracking correlation to major indices like SPX or DJI.
Monitor altcoin behavior relative to Bitcoin to find early entry opportunities in crypto markets.
Detect changes in currency alignment with DXY across trading sessions in forex.
Identify correlation breakdowns during market volatility, signaling possible new trends.
Use correlation shifts as confirmation for trade setups or to hedge multi-asset exposure
🔵 How to Use
Correlation is one of the core concepts in financial analysis and allows traders to understand how assets behave in relation to one another. The Correlation Heatmap extends this idea by going beyond a simple number or static matrix. Instead, it presents a dynamic visual map of how correlations shift over time.
In this indicator, a Main Symbol is selected as the reference point for analysis. In standard modes such as forex, stocks, or crypto, the symbol currently shown on the main chart is automatically used as the main symbol. This allows users to begin correlation analysis right away without adjusting any settings.
The horizontal axis of the heatmap shows time, while the vertical axis lists the selected assets. Each cell on the heatmap shows the correlation between that asset and the main symbol at a given moment.
This approach is especially useful for intermarket analysis. In forex, for example, tracking how currency pairs like OANDA:EURUSD EURUSD, FX:GBPUSD GBPUSD, and PEPPERSTONE:AUDUSD AUDUSD correlate with TVC:DXY DXY can give insight into broader capital flow.
If these pairs start showing increasing positive correlation with DXY say, shifting from blue to light green it could signal the start of a new phase or reversal. Conversely, if negative correlation fades gradually, it may suggest weakening relationships and more independent or volatile movement.
In the crypto market, watching how altcoins correlate with Bitcoin can help identify ideal entry points in secondary assets. In the stock market, analyzing how companies within the same sector move in relation to a major index like SP:SPX SPX or DJ:DJI DJI is also a highly effective technique for both technical and fundamental analysts.
This indicator not only visualizes correlation but also displays major market sessions. When enabled, this feature helps traders observe how correlation behavior changes at the start of each session, whether it's Tokyo, London, New York, or the opening of stock exchanges. Many key shifts, breakouts, or reversals tend to happen around these times, and the heatmap makes them easy to spot.
Another important feature is the market selection mode. Users can switch between forex, crypto, stocks, or custom markets and see correlation behavior specific to each one. In custom mode, users can manually select any combination of symbols for more advanced or personalized analysis. This makes the heatmap valuable not only for forex traders but also for stock traders, crypto analysts, and multi-asset strategists.
Finally, the heatmap's color-coded design helps users make sense of the data quickly. Warm colors such as red and orange reflect stronger negative correlations, while cool colors like blue and green represent stronger positive relationships. This simplicity and clarity make the tool accessible to both beginners and experienced traders.
🔵 Settings
Correlation Period: Allows you to set how many historical bars are used for calculating correlation. A higher number means a smoother, slower-moving heatmap, while a lower number makes it more responsive to recent changes.
Select Market: Lets you choose between Forex, Stock, Crypto, or Custom. In the first three options, the chart’s active symbol is automatically used as the Main Symbol. In Custom mode, you can manually define the Main Symbol and up to 20 Compared Symbols.
Show Open Session: Enables the display of major trading sessions such as Tokyo, London, New York, or equity market opening hours directly on the timeline. This helps you connect correlation shifts with real-world market activity.
Market Mode: Lets you select whether the displayed sessions relate to the forex or stock market.
🔵 Conclusion
The Correlation Heatmap is a robust and flexible tool for analyzing the relationship between assets across different markets. By tracking how correlations change in real time, traders can better identify alignment or divergence between symbols and gain valuable insights into market structure.
Support for multiple asset classes, session overlays, and intuitive visual cues make this one of the most effective tools for intermarket analysis.
Whether you’re looking to manage portfolio risk, validate entry points, or simply understand capital flow across markets, this heatmap provides a clear and actionable perspective that you can rely on.

Trend Range Detector (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Trend Range Detector (Zeiierman) is a market structure tool that identifies and tracks periods of price compression by forming adaptive range boxes based on volatility and price movement. When prices remain stable within a defined band, the script dynamically draws a range box; when prices break out of that structure, the box highlights the breakout in real-time.
By combining a volatility-based envelope with a custom weighted centerline, this tool filters out noise and isolates truly stable zones — providing a clean framework for traders who focus on accumulation, distribution, breakout anticipation, and reversion opportunities.
Whether you're range trading, spotting trend consolidations, or looking for volatility contractions before major moves, the Trend Range Detector gives you a mathematically adaptive, visually intuitive structure that maps the heartbeat of the market.
█ How It Works
⚪ Range Formation Engine
The core of this indicator revolves around two conditions:
Distance Filter: The maximum distance between all recent closes and a dynamic centerline must remain within a volatility envelope.
Volatility Envelope: Based on an ATR(2000) multiplied by a user-defined factor to account for broader market volatility trends.
If both conditions are satisfied over the most recent length bars, a range box is drawn to visually anchor the zone.
⚪ Dynamic Breakout Coloring
When price breaks out of the top or bottom of the active range box, the box color shifts in real-time:
Blue Boxes represent areas where price has remained within a defined volatility envelope over a sustained number of bars. These zones reflect stable, low-volatility periods, often associated with consolidation, equilibrium, or market indecision.
Green Boxes for bullish breakouts.
Red Boxes for bearish breakdowns.
This allows traders to visually spot transitions from consolidation to expansion phases without relying on lagging signals.
█ Why Use a Weighted Close Instead of SMA?
A standard Simple Moving Average (SMA) treats all past closes equally, which works well in theory, but not in dynamic, fast-shifting markets. In this script, we replace the traditional SMA with a speed-weighted average that reflects how aggressively the market has moved bar-to-bar.
⚪ Here's why it matters:
Bars with higher momentum (larger price differences between closes) are given more weight.
Slow, sideways candles (typical in noise or low volume) contribute less to the calculated centerline.
This method creates a more accurate snapshot of market behavior, especially during volatile phases. As a result, the indicator adapts to market conditions more effectively, helping traders identify real consolidation zones, not just average lines distorted by flat bars or noise.
█ How to Use
⚪ Range Detection
Boxes form only when price remains consistently close to the speed-weighted mean.
Helps identify sideways zones, consolidations, and low-volatility structures where price is “charging up.”
⚪ Breakout Confirmation
Once price exits the top or bottom boundary, the box immediately highlights the direction of the break.
Use this signal in conjunction with your own momentum, volume, or trend filters for higher-confidence trades.
█ Settings
Minimum Range Length: Number of candles required for a valid range to form.
Range Width Multiplier: Adjusts the envelope around the weighted average using ATR(2000).
Highlight Box Breaks: Enables real-time coloring of breakouts and breakdowns for immediate visual feedback.

Price Ranged FVG📌 Price Ranged FVG
Is a clean and efficient tool designed to detect Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) with adjustable filters and structural context. It’s especially useful for traders looking to filter out insignificant gaps and focus on high-probability areas, particularly around swing breaks or structural shifts.
🧠 What is a Fair Value Gap (FVG)?
A Fair Value Gap appears when there’s a price imbalance between candles — typically after a strong move — where the market skips over certain price levels without trading there. These zones can act as potential areas for price to return to (mean reversion), or serve as support/resistance depending on market structure.
🔍 FVG Detection Types
You can choose between three different detection modes under the "FVG Detection" input:
Same Type: Only detects FVGs where the last 3 candles are in the same direction (all bullish or all bearish).
All: Detects any FVG, regardless of candle direction.
Twin Close: Detects FVGs only when the last two candles are in the same direction and close accordingly — offering a stricter confirmation.
🎯 FVG % Filters
To filter out noise or insignificant gaps, this indicator includes:
Minimum FVG % Filter: Ignores FVGs smaller than your specified percentage of the current close.
Maximum FVG % Filter: Ignores overly large gaps that may be unreliable or caused by anomalies.
These filters help focus on relevant FVGs that are more likely to act as reaction zones.
🏛 Structural Context (Swing Highs and Lows)
The indicator plots swing highs and swing lows with dots to provide structure-based context:
Set Swing Strength to 3 for detecting internal structure (shorter-term moves).
Use a higher setting like 5 to focus on external structure (more significant highs/lows).
These levels can help you determine whether an FVG is forming within a consolidation, breakout, or key structural transition.
✅ Use Case (My Personal Workflow)
I personally use this indicator to:
Filter out weak or irrelevant FVGs using the % filters.
Watch for price interaction at swing breaks — especially when an FVG aligns with a break in internal or external structure.
Refine entry and exit planning in confluence with other tools or strategies.
⚠️ Disclaimer
This indicator is not financial advice. It is a technical analysis tool intended to support your own decision-making process. Always do your own research and risk management.
Fibonacci Optimal Entry Zone [OTE] (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Fibonacci Optimal Entry Zone (Zeiierman) is a high-precision market structure tool designed to help traders identify ideal entry zones during trending markets. Built on the principles of Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Fibonacci retracements, this indicator highlights key areas where price is most likely to react — specifically within the "Golden Zone" (between the 50% and 61.8% retracement).
It tracks structural pivot shifts (CHoCH) and dynamically adjusts Fibonacci levels based on real-time swing tracking. Whether you're trading breakouts, pullbacks, or optimal entries, this tool brings unparalleled clarity to structure-based strategies.
Ideal for traders who rely on confluence, this indicator visually synchronizes swing highs/lows, market structure shifts, Fibonacci retracement levels, and trend alignment — all without clutter or lag.
⚪ The Structural Assumption
Price moves in waves, but key retracements often lead to continuation or reversal — especially when aligned with structure breaks and trend shifts.
The Optimal Entry Zone captures this behavior by anchoring Fibonacci levels between recent swing extremes. The most powerful area — the Golden Zone — marks where institutional re-entry is likely, providing traders with a sniper-like roadmap to structure-based entries.
█ How It Works
⚪ Structure Tracking Engine
At its core, the indicator detects pivots and classifies trend direction:
Structure Period – Determines the depth of pivots used to detect swing highs/lows.
CHoCH – Break of structure logic identifies where the trend shifts or continues, marked visually on the chart.
Bullish & Bearish Modes – Independently toggle uptrend and downtrend detection and styling.
⚪ Fibonacci Engine
Upon each confirmed structural shift, Fibonacci retracement levels are projected between swing extremes:
Custom Levels – Choose which retracements (0.50, 0.618, etc.) are shown.
Real-Time Adjustments – When "Swing Tracker" is enabled, levels and labels update dynamically as price forms new swings.
Example:
If you disable the Swing Tracker, the Golden Level is calculated using the most recent confirmed swing high and low.
If you enable the Swing Tracker, the Golden Level is calculated from the latest swing high or low, making it more adaptive as the trend evolves in real time.
█ How to Use
⚪ Structure-Based Entry
Wait for CHoCH events and use the resulting Fibonacci projection to identify entry points. Enter trades as price taps into the Golden Zone, especially when confluence forms with swing structure or order blocks.
⚪ Real-Time Reaction Tracking
Enable Swing Tracker to keep the tool live — constantly updating zones as price shifts. This is especially useful for scalpers or intraday traders who rely on fresh swing zones.
█ Settings
Structure Period – Number of bars used to define swing pivots. Larger values = stronger structure.
Swing Tracker – Auto-updates fib levels as new highs/lows form.
Show Previous Levels – Keep older fib zones on chart or reset with each structure shift.

Curved Trend Channels (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Curved Trend Channels (Zeiierman) is a next-generation trend visualization tool engineered to adapt dynamically to both linear and non-linear market behavior. It introduces a novel curvature-based channeling system that grows over time during trending conditions, mirroring the natural acceleration of price trends, while simultaneously leveraging adaptive range filtering and dual-layer candle trend logic.
This tool is ideal for traders seeking smooth yet reactive dynamic channels that evolve with market structure. Whether used in curved mode or traditional slope mode, it provides exceptional clarity on trend transitions, volatility compression, and breakout development.
█ How It Works
⚪ Adaptive Range Filter Foundation
The core of the system is a volatility-based range filter that determines the underlying structure of the bands:
Pre-Smoothing of High/Low Data – Highs and lows are smoothed using a selectable moving average (SMA, EMA, HMA, KAMA, etc.) before calculating the volatility range.
Volatility Envelope – The range is scaled using a fixed factor (2.618) and further adjusted by a Band Multiplier to form the primary envelope around price.
Smoothed Volatility Curve – Final bands are stabilized using a long lookback, ensuring clean visual structure and trend clarity.
⚪ Curved Channel Logic
In Curved Mode, the trend channel grows over time when the trend direction remains unchanged:
Base Step Size (× ATR) – Sets the minimum unit of slope change.
Growth per Bar (× ATR) – Defines the acceleration rate of the channel slope with time.
Trend Persistence Recognition – The longer a trend persists, the more pronounced the slope becomes, mimicking real market accelerations.
This dynamic, time-dependent logic enables the channel to "curve" upward or downward, tracking long-standing trends with increasing confidence.
⚪ Trend Slope
As an alternative to curved logic, traders can activate a regular Trend slope using:
Slope Length – Determines how quickly the trend line adapts to price shifts.
Multiplicative Factor – Amplifies the sensitivity of the slope, useful in fast-moving markets or lower timeframes.
⚪ Candle Trend Confirmation
A robust second-layer trend detection method, the Candle Trend System evaluates directional pressure by analyzing smoothed price action:
Multi-tier Smoothing – Trend lines are derived from short-, medium-, and long-term candle movement.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Identification
When the Trend Line direction and Candle Colors are in agreement, this indicates strong, persistent directional conviction. Use these moments to enter with trend confirmation and manage risk more confidently.
⚪ Retest
During ongoing trends, the price will often pull back into the dynamic channel. Look for:
Support/resistance interactions at the upper or lower bands.
█ Settings
Scaled Volatility Length – Controls the historical depth used to stabilize the volatility bands.
Smoothing Type – Choose from HMA, KAMA, VIDYA, FRAMA, Super Smoother, etc. to match your asset and trading style.
Volatility MA Length – Smoothing length for the calculated range; shorter = more reactive.
High/Low Smoother Length – Additional smoothing to reduce noise from spikes or false pivots.
Band Multiplier – Widens or tightens the band range based on personal preference.
Enable Curved Channel – Toggle between curved or regular trend slope behavior.
Base Step (× ATR) – The starting point for curved slope progression.
Growth per Bar (× ATR) – How much the slope accelerates per bar during a sustained trend.
Slope – Reactivity of the standard trend line to price movements.
Multiplicative Factor – Sensitivity adjustment for HyperTrend slope.
Candle Trend Length – Lookback period for trend determination from candle structure.

Lyapunov Market Instability (LMI)Lyapunov Market Instability (LMI)
What is Lyapunov Market Instability?
Lyapunov Market Instability (LMI) is a revolutionary indicator that brings chaos theory from theoretical physics into practical trading. By calculating Lyapunov exponents—a measure of how rapidly nearby trajectories diverge in phase space—LMI quantifies market sensitivity to initial conditions. This isn't another oscillator or trend indicator; it's a mathematical lens that reveals whether markets are in chaotic (trending) or stable (ranging) regimes.
Inspired by the meditative color field paintings of Mark Rothko, this indicator transforms complex chaos mathematics into an intuitive visual experience. The elegant simplicity of the visualization belies the sophisticated theory underneath—just as Rothko's seemingly simple color blocks contain profound depth.
Theoretical Foundation (Chaos Theory & Lyapunov Exponents)
In dynamical systems, the Lyapunov exponent (λ) measures the rate of separation of infinitesimally close trajectories:
λ > 0: System is chaotic—small changes lead to dramatically different outcomes (butterfly effect)
λ < 0: System is stable—trajectories converge, perturbations die out
λ ≈ 0: Edge of chaos—transition between regimes
Phase Space Reconstruction
Using Takens' embedding theorem , we reconstruct market dynamics in higher dimensions:
Time-delay embedding: Create vectors from price at different lags
Nearest neighbor search: Find historically similar market states
Trajectory evolution: Track how these similar states diverged over time
Divergence rate: Calculate average exponential separation
Market Application
Chaotic markets (λ > threshold): Strong trends emerge, momentum dominates, use breakout strategies
Stable markets (λ < threshold): Mean reversion dominates, fade extremes, range-bound strategies work
Transition zones: Market regime about to change, reduce position size, wait for confirmation
How LMI Works
1. Phase Space Construction
Each point in time is embedded as a vector using historical prices at specific delays (τ). This reveals the market's hidden attractor structure.
2. Lyapunov Calculation
For each current state, we:
- Find similar historical states within epsilon (ε) distance
- Track how these initially similar states evolved
- Measure exponential divergence rate
- Average across multiple trajectories for robustness
3. Signal Generation
Chaos signals: When λ crosses above threshold, market enters trending regime
Stability signals: When λ crosses below threshold, market enters ranging regime
Divergence detection: Price/Lyapunov divergences signal potential reversals

Note: After completing this indicator, I discovered @loxx's 2022 "Lyapunov Hodrick-Prescott Oscillator w/ DSL". While both explore Lyapunov exponents, they represent independent implementations with different methodologies and applications. This indicator uses phase space reconstruction for regime detection, while his combines Lyapunov concepts with HP filtering.
