Seasonality Monte Carlo Forecaster [BackQuant]Seasonality Monte Carlo Forecaster
Plain-English overview
This tool projects a cone of plausible future prices by combining two ideas that traders already use intuitively: seasonality and uncertainty. It watches how your market typically behaves around this calendar date, turns that seasonal tendency into a small daily “drift,” then runs many randomized price paths forward to estimate where price could land tomorrow, next week, or a month from now. The result is a probability cone with a clear expected path, plus optional overlays that show how past years tended to move from this point on the calendar. It is a planning tool, not a crystal ball: the goal is to quantify ranges and odds so you can size, place stops, set targets, and time entries with more realism.
What Monte Carlo is and why quants rely on it
• Definition . Monte Carlo simulation is a way to answer “what might happen next?” when there is randomness in the system. Instead of producing a single forecast, it generates thousands of alternate futures by repeatedly sampling random shocks and adding them to a model of how prices evolve.
• Why it is used . Markets are noisy. A single point forecast hides risk. Monte Carlo gives a distribution of outcomes so you can reason in probabilities: the median path, the 68% band, the 95% band, tail risks, and the chance of hitting a specific level within a horizon.
• Core strengths in quant finance .
– Path-dependent questions : “What is the probability we touch a stop before a target?” “What is the expected drawdown on the way to my objective?”
– Pricing and risk : Useful for path-dependent options, Value-at-Risk (VaR), expected shortfall (CVaR), stress paths, and scenario analysis when closed-form formulas are unrealistic.
– Planning under uncertainty : Portfolio construction and rebalancing rules can be tested against a cloud of plausible futures rather than a single guess.
• Why it fits trading workflows . It turns gut feel like “seasonality is supportive here” into quantitative ranges: “median path suggests +X% with a 68% band of ±Y%; stop at Z has only ~16% odds of being tagged in N days.”
How this indicator builds its probability cone
1) Seasonal pattern discovery
The script builds two day-of-year maps as new data arrives:
• A return map where each calendar day stores an exponentially smoothed average of that day’s log return (yesterday→today). The smoothing (90% old, 10% new) behaves like an EWMA, letting older seasons matter while adapting to new information.
• A volatility map that tracks the typical absolute return for the same calendar day.
It calculates the day-of-year carefully (with leap-year adjustment) and indexes into a 365-slot seasonal array so “March 18” is compared with past March 18ths. This becomes the seasonal bias that gently nudges simulations up or down on each forecast day.
2) Choice of randomness engine
You can pick how the future shocks are generated:
• Daily mode uses a Gaussian draw with the seasonal bias as the mean and a volatility that comes from realized returns, scaled down to avoid over-fitting. It relies on the Box–Muller transform internally to turn two uniform random numbers into one normal shock.
• Weekly mode uses bootstrap sampling from the seasonal return history (resampling actual historical daily drifts and then blending in a fraction of the seasonal bias). Bootstrapping is robust when the empirical distribution has asymmetry or fatter tails than a normal distribution.
Both modes seed their random draws deterministically per path and day, which makes plots reproducible bar-to-bar and avoids flickering bands.
3) Volatility scaling to current conditions
Markets do not always live in average volatility. The engine computes a simple volatility factor from ATR(20)/price and scales the simulated shocks up or down within sensible bounds (clamped between 0.5× and 2.0×). When the current regime is quiet, the cone narrows; when ranges expand, the cone widens. This prevents the classic mistake of projecting calm markets into a storm or vice versa.
4) Many futures, summarized by percentiles
The model generates a matrix of price paths (capped at 100 runs for performance inside TradingView), each path stepping forward for your selected horizon. For each forecast day it sorts the simulated prices and pulls key percentiles:
• 5th and 95th → approximate 95% band (outer cone).
• 16th and 84th → approximate 68% band (inner cone).
• 50th → the median or “expected path.”
These are drawn as polylines so you can immediately see central tendency and dispersion.
5) A historical overlay (optional)
Turn on the overlay to sketch a dotted path of what a purely seasonal projection would look like for the next ~30 days using only the return map, no randomness. This is not a forecast; it is a visual reminder of the seasonal drift you are biasing toward.
Inputs you control and how to think about them
Monte Carlo Simulation
• Price Series for Calculation . The source series, typically close.
• Enable Probability Forecasts . Master switch for simulation and drawing.
• Simulation Iterations . Requested number of paths to run. Internally capped at 100 to protect performance, which is generally enough to estimate the percentiles for a trading chart. If you need ultra-smooth bands, shorten the horizon.
• Forecast Days Ahead . The length of the cone. Longer horizons dilute seasonal signal and widen uncertainty.
• Probability Bands . Draw all bands, just 95%, just 68%, or a custom level (display logic remains 68/95 internally; the custom number is for labeling and color choice).
• Pattern Resolution . Daily leans on day-of-year effects like “turn-of-month” or holiday patterns. Weekly biases toward day-of-week tendencies and bootstraps from history.
• Volatility Scaling . On by default so the cone respects today’s range context.
Plotting & UI
• Probability Cone . Plots the outer and inner percentile envelopes.
• Expected Path . Plots the median line through the cone.
• Historical Overlay . Dotted seasonal-only projection for context.
• Band Transparency/Colors . Customize primary (outer) and secondary (inner) band colors and the mean path color. Use higher transparency for cleaner charts.
What appears on your chart
• A cone starting at the most recent bar, fanning outward. The outer lines are the ~95% band; the inner lines are the ~68% band.
• A median path (default blue) running through the center of the cone.
• An info panel on the final historical bar that summarizes simulation count, forecast days, number of seasonal patterns learned, the current day-of-year, expected percentage return to the median, and the approximate 95% half-range in percent.
• Optional historical seasonal path drawn as dotted segments for the next 30 bars.
How to use it in trading
1) Position sizing and stop logic
The cone translates “volatility plus seasonality” into distances.
• Put stops outside the inner band if you want only ~16% odds of a stop-out due to noise before your thesis can play.
• Size positions so that a test of the inner band is survivable and a test of the outer band is rare but acceptable.
• If your target sits inside the 68% band at your horizon, the payoff is likely modest; outside the 68% but inside the 95% can justify “one-good-push” trades; beyond the 95% band is a low-probability flyer—consider scaling plans or optionality.
2) Entry timing with seasonal bias
When the median path slopes up from this calendar date and the cone is relatively narrow, a pullback toward the lower inner band can be a high-quality entry with a tight invalidation. If the median slopes down, fade rallies toward the upper band or step aside if it clashes with your system.
3) Target selection
Project your time horizon to N bars ahead, then pick targets around the median or the opposite inner band depending on your style. You can also anchor dynamic take-profits to the moving median as new bars arrive.
4) Scenario planning & “what-ifs”
Before events, glance at the cone: if the 95% band already spans a huge range, trade smaller, expect whips, and avoid placing stops at obvious band edges. If the cone is unusually tight, consider breakout tactics and be ready to add if volatility expands beyond the inner band with follow-through.
5) Options and vol tactics
• When the cone is tight : Prefer long gamma structures (debit spreads) only if you expect a regime shift; otherwise premium selling may dominate.
• When the cone is wide : Debit structures benefit from range; credit spreads need wider wings or smaller size. Align with your separate IV metrics.
Reading the probability cone like a pro
• Cone slope = seasonal drift. Upward slope means the calendar has historically favored positive drift from this date, downward slope the opposite.
• Cone width = regime volatility. A widening fan tells you that uncertainty grows fast; a narrow cone says the market typically stays contained.
• Mean vs. price gap . If spot trades well above the median path and the upper band, mean-reversion risk is high. If spot presses the lower inner band in an up-sloping cone, you are in the “buy fear” zone.
• Touches and pierces . Touching the inner band is common noise; piercing it with momentum signals potential regime change; the outer band should be rare and often brings snap-backs unless there is a structural catalyst.
Methodological notes (what the code actually does)
• Log returns are used for additivity and better statistical behavior: sim_ret is applied via exp(sim_ret) to evolve price.
• Seasonal arrays are updated online with EWMA (90/10) so the model keeps learning as each bar arrives.
• Leap years are handled; indexing still normalizes into a 365-slot map so the seasonal pattern remains stable.
• Gaussian engine (Daily mode) centers shocks on the seasonal bias with a conservative standard deviation.
• Bootstrap engine (Weekly mode) resamples from observed seasonal returns and adds a fraction of the bias, which captures skew and fat tails better.
• Volatility adjustment multiplies each daily shock by a factor derived from ATR(20)/price, clamped between 0.5 and 2.0 to avoid extreme cones.
• Performance guardrails : simulations are capped at 100 paths; the probability cone uses polylines (no heavy fills) and only draws on the last confirmed bar to keep charts responsive.
• Prerequisite data : at least ~30 seasonal entries are required before the model will draw a cone; otherwise it waits for more history.
Strengths and limitations
• Strengths :
– Probabilistic thinking replaces single-point guessing.
– Seasonality adds a small but meaningful directional bias that many markets exhibit.
– Volatility scaling adapts to the current regime so the cone stays realistic.
• Limitations :
– Seasonality can break around structural changes, policy shifts, or one-off events.
– The number of paths is performance-limited; percentile estimates are good for trading, not for academic precision.
– The model assumes tomorrow’s randomness resembles recent randomness; if regime shifts violently, the cone will lag until the EWMA adapts.
– Holidays and missing sessions can thin the seasonal sample for some assets; be cautious with very short histories.
Tuning guide
• Horizon : 10–20 bars for tactical trades; 30+ for swing planning when you care more about broad ranges than precise targets.
• Iterations : The default 100 is enough for stable 5/16/50/84/95 percentiles. If you crave smoother lines, shorten the horizon or run on higher timeframes.
• Daily vs. Weekly : Daily for equities and crypto where month-end and turn-of-month effects matter; Weekly for futures and FX where day-of-week behavior is strong.
• Volatility scaling : Keep it on. Turn off only when you intentionally want a “pure seasonality” cone unaffected by current turbulence.
Workflow examples
• Swing continuation : Cone slopes up, price pulls into the lower inner band, your system fires. Enter near the band, stop just outside the outer line for the next 3–5 bars, target near the median or the opposite inner band.
• Fade extremes : Cone is flat or down, price gaps to the upper outer band on news, then stalls. Favor mean-reversion toward the median, size small if volatility scaling is elevated.
• Event play : Before CPI or earnings on a proxy index, check cone width. If the inner band is already wide, cut size or prefer options structures that benefit from range.
Good habits
• Pair the cone with your entry engine (breakout, pullback, order flow). Let Monte Carlo do range math; let your system do signal quality.
• Do not anchor blindly to the median; recalc after each bar. When the cone’s slope flips or width jumps, the plan should adapt.
• Validate seasonality for your symbol and timeframe; not every market has strong calendar effects.
Summary
The Seasonality Monte Carlo Forecaster wraps institutional risk planning into a single overlay: a data-driven seasonal drift, realistic volatility scaling, and a probabilistic cone that answers “where could we be, with what odds?” within your trading horizon. Use it to place stops where randomness is less likely to take you out, to set targets aligned with realistic travel, and to size positions with confidence born from distributions rather than hunches. It will not predict the future, but it will keep your decisions anchored to probabilities—the language markets actually speak.

OB/OS adaptative v1.1# OB/OS Adaptative v1.1 - Multi-Timeframe Adaptive Overbought/Oversold Indicator
## Overview
The `tradingview_indicator_emas.pine` script is a sophisticated multi-timeframe indicator designed to identify dynamic overbought and oversold levels in financial markets. It combines EMA (Exponential Moving Average) crossovers and Bollinger Bands across monthly, weekly, and daily timeframes to create adaptive support and resistance levels that adjust to changing market conditions.
## Core Functionality
### Multi-Timeframe Analysis
The indicator analyzes three timeframes simultaneously:
- **Monthly (M)**: Long-term trend identification
- **Weekly (W)**: Intermediate-term trend identification
- **Daily (D)**: Short-term volatility measurement
### Technical Indicators Used
- **EMA 9 and EMA 20**: For trend identification and momentum assessment
- **Bollinger Bands (20-period)**: For volatility measurement and extreme level identification
- **Price action**: For confirmation of level validity and signal generation
## Key Features
### Adaptive Level Calculation
The indicator dynamically determines overbought and oversold levels based on market structure and trend bias:
#### Monthly Level Logic
- **Bullish Bias** (when monthly open > EMA20):
- Oversold = lower of EMA9 or EMA20
- Overbought = upper of EMA9 or Bollinger Upper Band
- **Bearish/Neutral Bias** (when monthly open ≤ EMA20):
- Oversold = Bollinger Lower Band
- Overbought = upper of EMA20 or EMA9
#### Weekly Level Logic
- **Bullish Bias** (when weekly open > EMA20):
- Oversold = lower of EMA9 or EMA20
- Overbought = Bollinger Upper Band
- **Bearish/Neutral Bias** (when weekly open ≤ EMA20):
- Oversold = Bollinger Lower Band
- Overbought = upper of EMA20 or EMA9
#### Daily Level Logic
- Simple Bollinger Bands:
- Oversold = Bollinger Lower Band
- Overbought = Bollinger Upper Band
### Final Level Determination
The indicator combines all three timeframes through a weighted averaging process:
1. Calculates initial values as the average of monthly, weekly, and daily levels
2. Ensures mathematical consistency by enforcing overbought_final ≥ oversold_final using min/max functions
3. Calculates a midpoint average level as the center of the range
### Visual Elements
- **Dynamic Lines**: Draws horizontal lines for current and previous period overbought, oversold, and average levels
- **Labels**: Places clear textual labels at the start of each period
- **Color Coding**:
- Red for overbought levels (resistance)
- Green for oversold levels (support)
- Blue for average levels (pivot point)
- **Transparency**: Previous period lines use semi-transparent colors to distinguish between current and historical levels
### Update Mechanism
- **Calculation Day**: User-defined day of the week (default: Monday)
- On the specified calculation day, the indicator:
- Updates all levels based on previous bar's data
- Draws new lines extending forward for a user-defined number of days
- Maintains previous period lines for comparison and trend analysis
- Automatically deletes and recreates lines to ensure clean visualization
### Proximity Detection
- Alerts when price approaches overbought/oversold levels (configurable distance in percentage)
- Helps identify potential reversal zones before actual crossovers occur
- Distance thresholds are user-configurable for both overbought and oversold conditions
### Alert Conditions
The indicator provides four distinct alert types:
1. **Cross below oversold**: Triggered when price crosses below the oversold level
2. **Cross above overbought**: Triggered when price crosses above the overbought level
3. **Near oversold**: Triggered when price approaches the oversold level within the configured distance
4. **Near overbought**: Triggered when price approaches the overbought level within the configured distance
### Debug Mode
When enabled, displays comprehensive debug information including:
- Current values for all levels (oversold, overbought, average)
- Timeframe-specific calculations and raw data points
- System status information (current day, calculation day, etc.)
- Lines existence and timing information
- Organized in multiple labels at different price levels to avoid overlap
## Configuration Parameters
| Parameter | Default Value | Description |
|---------|---------------|-------------|
| Short EMA (9) | 9 | Length for short-term EMA calculation |
| Long EMA (20) | 20 | Length for long-term EMA calculation |
| BB Length | 20 | Period for Bollinger Bands calculation |
| Std Dev | 2.0 | Standard deviation multiplier for Bollinger Bands |
| Distance to overbought (%) | 0.5 | Percentage threshold for "near overbought" alerts |
| Distance to oversold (%) | 0.5 | Percentage threshold for "near oversold" alerts |
| Calculation day | Monday | Day of week when levels are recalculated |
| Lookback days | 7 | Number of days to extend previous period lines backward |
| Forward days | 7 | Number of days to extend current period lines forward |
| Show Debug Labels | false | Toggle for comprehensive debug information display |
## Trading Applications
### Primary Use Cases
1. **Reversal Trading**: Identify potential reversal zones when price approaches overbought/oversold levels
2. **Trend Confirmation**: Use the adaptive nature of levels to confirm trend strength and direction
3. **Position Sizing**: Adjust position size based on distance from key levels
4. **Stop Placement**: Use opposite levels as dynamic stop-loss references
### Strategic Advantages
- **Adaptive Nature**: Levels adjust to changing market volatility and trend structure
- **Multi-Timeframe Confirmation**: Signals are validated across multiple timeframes
- **Visual Clarity**: Clear color-coded lines and labels enhance decision-making
- **Proactive Alerts**: "Near" conditions provide early warnings before crossovers
## Implementation Details
### Data Security
Uses `request.security()` function to fetch data from higher timeframes (monthly, weekly) while maintaining proper bar indexing with ` ` offset for open prices.
### Performance Optimization
- Uses `var` keyword to declare persistent variables that maintain state across bars
- Efficient line and label management with proper deletion before recreation
- Conditional execution of debug code to minimize performance impact
### Error Handling
- Comprehensive NA (not available) checks throughout the code
- Graceful degradation when data is unavailable for higher timeframes
- Mathematical safeguards to prevent invalid level calculations
## Conclusion
The OB/OS Adaptative v1.1 indicator represents a sophisticated approach to identifying market extremes by combining multiple technical analysis concepts. Its adaptive nature makes it particularly useful in trending markets where static levels may be less effective. The multi-timeframe approach provides a comprehensive view of market structure, while the visual elements and alert system enhance its practical utility for active traders.
Stochastic Trend Signal with MTF FilterMulti-Timeframe Stochastic Trend Filter – Real Signals with Confirmation Candles
This script is a multi-timeframe Stochastic trend filter designed to help traders identify reliable BUY/SELL signals based on both momentum and higher-timeframe trend context.
It combines three key components:
Entry Signal Logic:
Entry is based on the Stochastic Oscillator (%K, 14,3), where overbought/oversold conditions are detected in the current chart's timeframe.
A green (bullish) candle following a red candle with %K below 20 can trigger a BUY signal.
A red (bearish) candle following a green candle with %K above 80 can trigger a SELL signal.
Trend Confirmation – Daily Filter:
The script uses Stochastic on the 1D (Daily) timeframe to determine whether short-term momentum aligns with a broader daily trend.
BUY signals are only allowed if the Daily %K is above 50.
SELL signals are only allowed if the Daily %K is below 50.
Long-Term Trend Filter – Weekly Stochastic:
A second filter uses Weekly %K:
BUY signals are suppressed if the Weekly trend is bearish (Weekly %K < 50) while Daily %K is bullish (> 50).
SELL signals are suppressed if the Weekly trend is bullish (Weekly %K > 50) while Daily %K is bearish (< 50).
🖼️ The chart background changes color to visually assist users:
Green background: bullish alignment on Daily and Weekly Stochastic.
Red background: bearish alignment.
Gray background: trend conflict (Daily and Weekly disagree).
✅ This script is ideal for swing traders or position traders who want to enter with confirmation while avoiding false signals during trend conflict zones.
🔔 Alerts are provided for BUY and SELL signals once all conditions are met.
How to use:
Apply on timeframe (4H recommended).
Add alerts for "BUY Alert" and "SELL Alert".
Use background color and plotted labels as entry filters.
Disclaimer: This is not financial advice. Always use proper risk management and test on demo accounts first.
Polaris Trend All-in-One📘 Polaris Trend Indicator: Trading Rules & Strategy
Guide
The Polaris Trend Indicator is designed to simplify trading decisions by identifying key entry
and exit signals without the need for excessive technical analysis. This system combines the
Polaris Trend with the Polaris Golden Wave and Market Bias tools to give you confidence
across multiple timeframes.
This guide outlines clear trading rules for two use cases:
● Swing Trading
● Long-Term Investing and Holding
⚡ Swing Trading Strategy
Swing trading can be challenging when the market direction is unclear. The Polaris Trend helps
traders stay on the right side of momentum with straightforward visual signals. This approach is
best used on the Daily or Weekly chart.
✅ Entry Criteria (Bullish Trades)
● A solid green column appears above the zero line.
● A green upward arrow confirms bullish momentum.
● Enter your trade immediately when the green column first appears.
● Hold the trade until a red column appears, signaling a shift in momentum.
🚫 Exit Criteria (Bullish Trades)
● The first appearance of a red column after a green run.
● Multiple green columns followed by a red column.
● Do not enter trades mid-trend; always enter on the first green flip.
***Recommended Swing Strategy
● When a new daily green column appears but the weekly columns are still red, stay
nimble. Enter your position when the Polaris Trend Indicator turns green and displays an
upward-pointing arrow.
● If the price pulls back to a higher low but a red daily column forms, sell 50% of your
position and move your stop loss to your original entry. Then, wait for the next daily
green column and arrow to reappear, this is your signal to reenter the 50% you exited.
● If the price continues to rise and the weekly columns also turn green, shift your focus
to the weekly chart. Ignore daily signals and hold the trade until the weekly column
turns red, which will be your cue to exit. The weekly green column is your confirmation of
a stronger uptrend and a potential longer hold.
🔻 Entry Criteria (Bearish Trades)
● A solid red column appears below the zero line.
● A red downward arrow confirms bearish momentum.
● Enter your short trade immediately when the red column first appears.
● Hold until a green column appears, indicating momentum has shifted.
🔁 Exit Criteria (Bearish Trades)
● The first green column that follows a red sequence.
● Same rule applies: enter only on the initial flip, not mid-trend.
Note: The first color flip is the most reliable entry point. Avoid entering positions
deep into a trend, wait for the clear signal from Polaris.
🧭 Long-Term Investing Strategy
This approach combines the Polaris Golden Wave, Polaris Trend, and Market Bias to help
long-term investors buy at deep value levels and scale into positions over time.
📉 Ideal Entry: Golden Zone + Polaris Trend Signal
● Use the Golden Wave to identify the monthly 0.618–0.826 retracement zone
(significant discount levels).
● When price enters the Golden Zone and the Polaris Trend shows a green column on
the Daily or Weekly, this is your optimal entry point.
● If the trend turns red inside the zone, consider trimming positions and re-entering on the
next bullish signal.
If price drops below the Golden Zone, the stock becomes even more undervalued,
wait for the next green Polaris Trend signal to enter.
💰 Secondary Entry: Market Bias Rebounds
● If you miss the Golden Zone entry or are dollar-cost averaging:
○ Use the Market Bias on a Weekly timeframe.
○ Wait for price to retrace into the Market Bias band after moving higher.
○ Look for a red Polaris Trend column, then wait for price to enter the Market
Bias band and once it enters, wait for Polaris Trend signal to flip back to green
for your entry. If the trend turns red inside the zone, consider trimming positions
and re-entering on the next bullish signal.
Think of the Market Bias like a lake and price like a skipping stone—you want to
buy when the stone comes down and touches the surface.
📊 Indicator Explanations
🔶 Golden Wave (Monthly Fibonacci Retracement Zones)
● Highlights key monthly retracement zones (0.618 to 0.826).
● Helps identify deep-value entries on longer timeframes.
● Visible across all chart timeframes for consistent macro reference.
🔴 Market Bias (Smoothed Heikin-Ashi Trend Filter)
● Measures trend direction and strength using smoothed Heikin-Ashi candles and
oscillation logic.
● Customizable smoothing, oscillator period, and timeframe inputs.
● Option to display trend signals in a separate pane with dynamic coloring.
This combined approach empowers traders to make high-quality decisions with clarity and
discipline. Whether you're entering short-term swings or building long-term positions, the
Polaris Trend system guides you with timely, data-driven signals.

Fibonacci Retracement levels Automatically D/W/MIndicator Description: Fibonacci Retracement levels Automatically
Fibonacci retracement levels based on the day, week, month High Low range and Fibonacci retracement levels draws automatically .This Pine Script indicator is designed to plot Fibonacci retracement levels based on the high and low prices of a user-selected timeframe (Daily, Weekly, or Monthly). It identifies bullish or bearish candles in the chosen timeframe, draws key price levels, and overlays Fibonacci retracement lines and semi-transparent colored boxes to highlight potential support and resistance zones. The indicator dynamically updates with each new period and extends lines, labels, and boxes to the current bar for real-time visualization. Key Features
1. Timeframe Selection: Users can choose the timeframe for analysis: Daily, Weekly, or Monthly via an input dropdown. The indicator retrieves the open, high, low, and close prices for the selected timeframe using `request.security`.
2. High and Low Tracking : Tracks the highest high and lowest low within the selected timeframe. Stores these values and their corresponding bar indices in arrays (`whigh`, `wlow`, `whighIdx`,`wlowIdx`). Limits the array size to the most recent period to optimize performance.
3. Bullish and Bearish Candle Detection : Identifies whether the previous period’s candle is bullish (`close > open`) or bearish (`close < open`). Uses this to determine the direction for Fibonacci retracement calculations. Bullish candle: Fibonacci levels are drawn from low to high
Bearish candle: Fibonacci levels are drawn from high to low
4. Fibonacci Retracement Levels : Plots Fibonacci levels at 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, and 0.786 between the high and low of the period. For bullish candles, levels are calculated from the low (support) to the high (resistance). For bearish candles, levels are calculated from the high (resistance) to the low (support). Each Fibonacci level is drawn as a horizontal line with a unique color:
- 0.236: Blue
- 0.382: Purple
- 0.5: Yellow
- 0.618: Teal
- 0.786: Fuchsia
5. Visual Elements: - High/Low Lines and Labels: Draws a red line and label for the previous period’s high. Draws a green line and label for the previous period’s low. Fibonacci Lines and Labels: Each Fibonacci level has a horizontal line and a label displaying the ratio.
Colored Boxes: Semi-transparent boxes are drawn between consecutive Fibonacci levels (including high and low) to highlight zones.
6. Dynamic Updates:
- At the start of a new period (e.g., new week for Weekly timeframe), the indicator:
- Clears previous Fibonacci lines, labels, and boxes.
- Recalculates the high and low for the new period.
- Redraws lines, labels, and boxes based on the new data.
- Extends all lines, labels, and boxes to the current bar index for real-time tracking.
7. Performance Optimization:
- Deletes old lines, labels, and boxes to prevent clutter.
- Limits the storage of highs and lows to the most recent period.
How It Works
1. Initialization: Defines variables for tracking bullish/bearish candles, lines, labels, and arrays for Fibonacci levels and boxes. Sets up color arrays for Fibonacci lines and boxes with distinct, semi-transparent colors.
2. Data Collection: Fetches the previous period’s OHLC (open, high, low, close) using `request.security`. Detects new periods (e.g., new week or month) using `ta.change(time(tf))`.
3. Fibonacci Calculation: On a new period, stores the high and low prices and their bar indices.
- Identifies the maximum high and minimum low from the stored data. - Calculates Fibonacci levels based on the range (`maxHigh - minLow`) and the direction (bullish or bearish).
4. Drawing:
- Draws high/low lines and labels at the identified price levels. Plots Fibonacci retracement lines and labels for each ratio. Creates semi-transparent boxes between Fibonacci levels to visually distinguish zones.
5. Updates:
- Extends all lines, labels, and boxes to the current bar index when a new period is detected. Clears old Fibonacci elements to avoid overlap and ensure clarity.
Usage
- Purpose: This indicator is useful for traders who use Fibonacci retracement levels to identify potential support and resistance zones in financial markets.
- Application:
- Select the desired timeframe (Daily, Weekly, Monthly) via the input settings.
- The indicator automatically plots the previous period’s high/low and Fibonacci levels on the chart.
- Use the labeled Fibonacci levels and colored boxes to identify key price zones for trading decisions.
- Customization:
- Modify the `timeframe` input to switch between Daily, Weekly, or Monthly analysis.
- Adjust the `fibLineColors` and `fibFillColors` arrays to change the visual appearance of lines and boxes.
- The indicator is designed for use on TradingView with Pine Script.
- The maximum array size for highs/lows is limited to 1 period in this version (can be adjusted by modifying the `array.shift` logic).
- The indicator dynamically updates with each new period, ensuring real-time relevance.

National Financial Conditions Index (NFCI)This is one of the most important macro indicators in my trading arsenal due to its reliability across different market regimes. I'm excited to share this with the TradingView community because this Federal Reserve data is not only completely free but extraordinarily useful for portfolio management and risk assessment.
**Important Disclaimers**: Be aware that some NFCI components are updated only monthly but carry significant weighting in the composite index. Additionally, the Fed occasionally revises historical NFCI data, so historical backtests should be interpreted with some caution. Nevertheless, this remains a crucial leading indicator for financial stress conditions.
---
## What is the National Financial Conditions Index?
The National Financial Conditions Index (NFCI) is a comprehensive measure of financial stress and liquidity conditions developed by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. This indicator synthesizes over 100 financial market variables into a single, interpretable metric that captures the overall state of financial conditions in the United States (Brave & Butters, 2011).
**Key Principle**: When the NFCI is positive, financial conditions are tighter than average; when negative, conditions are looser than average. Values above +1.0 historically coincide with financial crises, while values below -1.0 often signal bubble-like conditions.
## Scientific Foundation & Research
The NFCI methodology is grounded in extensive academic research:
### Core Research Foundation
- **Brave, S., & Butters, R. A. (2011)**. "Monitoring financial stability: A financial conditions index approach." *Economic Perspectives*, 35(1), 22-43.
- **Hatzius, J., Hooper, P., Mishkin, F. S., Schoenholtz, K. L., & Watson, M. W. (2010)**. "Financial conditions indexes: A fresh look after the financial crisis." *US Monetary Policy Forum Report*, No. 23.
- **Kliesen, K. L., Owyang, M. T., & Vermann, E. K. (2012)**. "Disentangling diverse measures: A survey of financial stress indexes." *Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Review*, 94(5), 369-397.
### Methodological Validation
The NFCI employs Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to extract common factors from financial market data, following the methodology established by **English, W. B., Tsatsaronis, K., & Zoli, E. (2005)** in "Assessing the predictive power of measures of financial conditions for macroeconomic variables." The index has been validated through extensive academic research (Koop & Korobilis, 2014).
## NFCI Components Explained
This indicator provides access to all five official NFCI variants:
### 1. **Main NFCI**
The primary composite index incorporating all financial market sectors. This serves as the main signal for portfolio allocation decisions.
### 2. **Adjusted NFCI (ANFCI)**
Removes the influence of credit market disruptions to focus on non-credit financial stress. Particularly useful during banking crises when credit markets may be impaired but other financial conditions remain stable.
### 3. **Credit Sub-Index**
Isolates credit market conditions including corporate bond spreads, commercial paper rates, and bank lending standards. Important for assessing corporate financing stress.
### 4. **Leverage Sub-Index**
Measures systemic leverage through margin requirements, dealer financing, and institutional leverage metrics. Useful for identifying leverage-driven market stress.
### 5. **Risk Sub-Index**
Captures market-based risk measures including volatility, correlation, and tail risk indicators. Provides indication of risk appetite shifts.
## Practical Trading Applications
### Portfolio Allocation Framework
Based on the academic research, the NFCI can be used for portfolio positioning:
**Risk-On Positioning (NFCI declining):**
- Consider increasing equity exposure
- Reduce defensive positions
- Evaluate growth-oriented sectors
**Risk-Off Positioning (NFCI rising):**
- Consider reducing equity exposure
- Increase defensive positioning
- Favor large-cap, dividend-paying stocks
### Academic Validation
According to **Oet, M. V., Eiben, R., Bianco, T., Gramlich, D., & Ong, S. J. (2011)** in "The financial stress index: Identification of systemic risk conditions," financial conditions indices like the NFCI provide early warning capabilities for systemic risk conditions.
**Illing, M., & Liu, Y. (2006)** demonstrated in "Measuring financial stress in a developed country: An application to Canada" that composite financial stress measures can be useful for predicting economic downturns.
## Advanced Features of This Implementation
### Dynamic Background Coloring
- **Green backgrounds**: Risk-On conditions - potentially favorable for equity investment
- **Red backgrounds**: Risk-Off conditions - time for defensive positioning
- **Intensity varies**: Based on deviation from trend for nuanced risk assessment
### Professional Dashboard
Real-time analytics table showing:
- Current NFCI level and interpretation (TIGHT/LOOSE/NEUTRAL)
- Individual sub-index readings
- Change analysis
- Portfolio guidance (Risk On/Risk Off)
### Alert System
Professional-grade alerts for:
- Risk regime changes
- Extreme stress conditions (NFCI > 1.0)
- Bubble risk warnings (NFCI < -1.0)
- Major trend reversals
## Optimal Usage Guidelines
### Best Timeframes
- **Daily charts**: Recommended for intermediate-term positioning
- **Weekly charts**: Suitable for longer-term portfolio allocation
- **Intraday**: Less effective due to weekly update frequency
### Complementary Indicators
For enhanced analysis, combine NFCI signals with:
- **VIX levels**: Confirm stress readings
- **Credit spreads**: Validate credit sub-index signals
- **Moving averages**: Determine overall market trend context
- **Economic surprise indices**: Gauge fundamental backdrop
### Position Sizing Considerations
- **Extreme readings** (|NFCI| > 1.0): Consider higher conviction positioning
- **Moderate readings** (|NFCI| 0.3-1.0): Standard position sizing
- **Neutral readings** (|NFCI| < 0.3): Consider reduced conviction
## Important Limitations & Considerations
### Data Frequency Issues
**Critical Warning**: While the main NFCI updates weekly (typically Wednesdays), some underlying components update monthly. Corporate bond indices and commercial paper rates, which carry significant weight, may cause delayed reactions to current market conditions.
**Component Update Schedule:**
- **Weekly Updates**: Main NFCI composite, most equity volatility measures
- **Monthly Updates**: Corporate bond spreads, commercial paper rates
- **Quarterly Updates**: Banking sector surveys
- **Impact**: Significant portion of index weight may lag current conditions
### Historical Revisions
The Federal Reserve occasionally revises NFCI historical data as new information becomes available or methodologies are refined. This means backtesting results should be interpreted cautiously, and the indicator works best for forward-looking analysis rather than precise historical replication.
### Market Regime Dependency
The NFCI effectiveness may vary across different market regimes. During extended sideways markets or regime transitions, signals may be less reliable. Consider combining with trend-following indicators for optimal results.
**Bottom Line**: Use NFCI for medium-term portfolio positioning guidance. Trust the directional signals while remaining aware of data revision risks and update frequency limitations. This indicator is particularly valuable during periods of financial stress when reliable guidance is most needed.

ds-Volume with Flags & Alerts v1.2ds-Volume with Flags & Alerts: User & Training Guide
1. Summary of Features
This indicator is a powerful, all-in-one tool designed to give you a deep and customizable view of market volume. By analyzing volume in multiple ways, it helps you spot unusual activity, confirm trends, and identify potential reversals.
How It Helps a Trader:
Spotting Institutional Activity: The core purpose of the Volume Flags (using either the Multiplier or Standard Deviation method) is to highlight bars with exceptionally high volume. These spikes often signal the entry or exit of large institutional players. A high-volume up-bar can confirm bullish conviction, while a high-volume down-bar can signal significant selling pressure.
Identifying Climactic Events: The HVE (Highest Volume Ever) and HV1 (Highest Volume - 1 Year) labels automatically pinpoint the most significant volume events on the chart. A "blow-off top" at the end of a long uptrend or a "capitulation" event at a market bottom is almost always accompanied by an HVE or HV1 bar. These are critical moments to watch for potential trend reversals.
Gauging Buying vs. Selling Pressure: The Up/Down Volume Ratio gives you a more nuanced view than volume alone. A ratio consistently above 1.2 suggests that buyers are more aggressive, while a ratio below 0.8 suggests sellers are in control. Watching this ratio can help you confirm the strength of a trend or spot divergences where price is rising but the ratio is falling (a potential warning sign).
Visual Confirmation & Customization: With options to color both the volume bars and the main price bars, you can get instant visual confirmation of these events without having to look away from the price action. The ability to toggle features on and off keeps your chart clean and focused on what matters most to you.
Actionable Alerts: The comprehensive alert system ensures you don't miss a key event. You can be notified of everything from a new all-time high volume bar to a subtle shift in the Up/Down Volume Ratio, allowing you to react to market changes in real-time.
2. User-Changeable Options
This indicator is highly customizable. Here is a breakdown of every setting available in the "Inputs" tab.
General Settings
MA Length: The lookback period for the simple moving average (the gray area plot) of the volume.
Volume Flags
Color Price Bars with Flags: If checked, the main price bars on your chart will be colored when a high or low volume flag condition is met.
Color Volume Bars with Flags: If checked, the volume bars in the indicator pane will be colored for flag conditions.
Flag Calculation Method: This is a crucial setting.
Multiplier (Default): Identifies high volume based on a simple multiple of the average volume (e.g., volume is 1.4x its average). It's simple and intuitive.
Standard Deviation: Identifies high volume based on how statistically unusual it is compared to its recent behavior. This method is more adaptive to changing market volatility.
Daily/Weekly Lookback (Multiplier): Sets the lookback period for calculating the average volume when using the "Multiplier" method.
Daily/Weekly High-Vol Multiplier: Sets the multiplier for a high volume event (e.g., 1.4).
STDEV Length (Daily/Weekly): Sets the lookback period for calculating the average and standard deviation when using the "Standard Deviation" method.
STDEV Threshold (Daily/Weekly): Sets the number of standard deviations above the average required to trigger a high volume flag (e.g., 2.0).
Daily/Weekly Low-Vol Multiplier: Sets the threshold for a low volume event (e.g., 0.5 means volume is less than 50% of its average). This is always based on the multiplier method.
Ratios & Stats
Up/Down Ratio Daily/Weekly Lookback: Sets the lookback period for calculating the sum of up volume and down volume for the ratio.
Ratio Calculation Method:
Close vs. Open: Defines an "up volume" bar as one where the close is higher than the open.
Close vs. Previous Close (Default): Defines an "up volume" bar as one where the close is higher than the previous bar's close. This is a common standard.
Up Ratio Arrow Threshold: If the U/D Ratio exceeds this value, a green "up" arrow will appear.
Show Up Ratio Arrow: Toggles the visibility of the green "up" arrow.
Down Ratio Arrow Threshold: If the U/D Ratio falls below this value, a red "down" arrow will appear.
Show Down Ratio Arrow: Toggles the visibility of the red "down" arrow.
Psychological Levels Indicator🧠 Psychological Levels Indicator
The Psychological Levels Indicator is a dynamic intraday trading tool that automatically identifies, adapts, and projects psychological price zones based on market structure and volatility. It integrates a layered calculation engine built around weekly price behavior to deliver actionable levels and trend bias.
🔍 Core Methodology
Weekly Foundation Logic:
The first psychological high and low of the current week form the initial range (spread). This spread becomes the anchor for the rest of the week’s levels.
Breakout-Based Scaling:
The indicator detects the largest directional breakout from the previous week's psychological high or low. This move determines how many dynamic levels are generated for the current week, scaled proportionally to the current spread.
Directional Bias Formation:
Typically, the tool respects levels mostly in one direction (based on the breakout bias) early in the week, while adjusting if a stronger directional move is established midweek.
✨ What Makes It Unique
Automatic Asset Detection:
Automatically adjusts calculations based on whether the chart is Forex, Crypto, Stocks, or Indices – with an optional manual override.
Dynamic Extra Levels:
Extra psychological levels are calculated using dynamic array logic, scaling with weekly volatility. This mirrors a manual process developed by trader Dave (HaighTech), now fully automated.
Live Weekly Tracking:
Users can choose to automatically track this week’s evolving high/low range or manually input fixed boundaries.
Midpoints & Multi-Tiered Zones:
Each main and extra level is optionally split into midpoints, providing granular insight and tighter control.
⚙️ Features & Usage
Custom Display Controls:
Independently toggle standard levels, extra breakout levels, labels, and historical data.
Smart Session Handling:
Correct timezone & DST awareness for NY, UK, and Sydney markets. Weekly/daily start logic adapts per asset type.
Advanced Volatility Mapping:
Includes weekly high, low, and average levels, as well as a rolling monthly average based on the prior breakout structure.
Alerts & Backtesting:
Alerts trigger on price interaction with key levels. Historical plots enable review and strategy refinement.
✅ Ideal For Traders Who Want To:
Trade using psychological zones and adaptive breakout logic
Project early-week levels and adapt to real-time market direction
Use auto-adjusting support/resistance levels tailored to volatility
Leverage manually inspired but automated zone mapping for faster decision-making

The 10x HTF Candles Dynamic Pine Script is a versatile, all-in-one trading tool designed for TradingView to empower traders with actionable insights across multiple timeframes. It combines advanced price action analysis, Fair Value Gap (FVG) detection, market structure evaluation, and key level visualization into a single, highly customizable interface. Built for day traders, swing traders, and scalpers, this script enhances decision-making by providing a clear, multi-dimensional view of market dynamics, liquidity zones, and trend biases. Its purpose is to streamline technical analysis, reduce chart clutter, and deliver real-time, visually intuitive data to support precise trading strategies.
What the Script Does
How the Script Works:
The script leverages Pine Script v5’s advanced features to deliver a robust and efficient trading tool. Below is a step-by-step explanation of its functionality:
1. Initialization and Configuration:
- Initializes with @version=5, enabling dynamic requests, and sets limits for bars (500), lines, labels, boxes, and polylines to manage resources.
- Defines user inputs for candle settings, timeframe selection, FVG parameters, DWM levels, market structure table, and visual preferences.
- Dynamically calculates 10 higher timeframes based on the current chart timeframe (e.g., 1m chart → 5m, 15m, 60m, etc.) or allows custom timeframes.
2. Data Acquisition:
- Fetches OHLC data for up to 10 timeframes using request.security, storing it in optimized TfData objects (arrays for open, high, low, close).
- Loops through enabled timeframes to minimize redundant code, improving processing speed.
3. Candlestick Rendering:
- Draws HTF candlesticks at user-defined offsets, with customizable bullish/bearish colors, wick colors, and widths.
- Calculates bar types (Inside, Normal, Outside) and optionally labels them above candles for pattern analysis.
4. FVG Detection and Visualization:
- Scans for FVGs by comparing candle highs and lows across three bars (e.g., low of candle 1 > high of candle 3 for bullish FVG).
- Detects IFVGs based on user-selected methods (wick, close, or midpoint) and highlights them with distinct colors.
- Draws FVG boxes with configurable borders, midpoint lines, and labels, tracking mitigation status.
- Limits FVG display to a user-defined maximum (1–200) to maintain chart clarity.
5. Horizontal Levels and DWM Lines:
- Computes Highs, Lows, Midpoints, and Quarter Points for each timeframe, drawing lines with customizable styles and extensions.
- Plots DWM open, close, high, low, and control point lines, with optional alerts for high/low breaks.
- Supports session-based opening price lines (e.g., 09:30 Market Open) with similar customization.
6. Market Structure and Bias:
Calculates trend bias by comparing the current close to the midpoint of the timeframe’s range (highest high to lowest low).
Updates a market structure table with timeframe, bias, and premium/discount status, using color-coded cells for quick interpretation.
7. Countdown Timers:
- Converts timeframe strings to seconds and calculates the time remaining until the next candle using timenow.
- Renders countdown labels with timeframe names (e.g., “1h\n(00:45)”) at user-defined positions.
8. Optimization and Cleanup:
- Uses VisualElements UDTs to manage lines, wicks, and labels, reducing memory usage.
- Deletes outdated drawings when limits are exceeded, ensuring a clean and responsive chart.
- Employs loops and arrays to streamline repetitive tasks, enhancing performance.

AZRO Systems XRP Top/Bottom Indicator — Invite-OnlyAZRO Systems – XRP Top/Bottom Indicator — Invite-Only
VERSION v1.0.4 — Early tops & bottoms flagged; label auto-flips to MAJOR at weekly close
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
WHAT IT DOES
• EARLY TOP / EARLY BOTTOM prints intra-bar the moment any multi-factor recipe triggers.
• When the weekly bar closes, the label flips to MAJOR TOP / MAJOR BOTTOM and the confirmed alert fires.
• (If Soft-Confirm is ON, a TOP must first pull back ≈ 30 % of ATR-90 before confirmation.)
• Adds large green/red labels and a light bar-tint once major status is confirmed.
• Historical tests indicate materially lower drawdowns versus passive holding while still capturing each macro upswing.
HOW IT WORKS (concept level — exact thresholds are locked)
• Macro-Rotation Gauge – BTC dominance
Weekly BTC.D enters a historic extreme, then reverses for ≥ 2 weekly closes to flag potential rotation; never fires solo.
• Asset-Share Pivot – XRP market-cap share filters out false RSI spikes.
• Momentum-Stress Check – Weekly RSI + ATR pull-back captures exhaustion without waiting for close.
A label prints only when a recipe combining these lenses is met, greatly reducing false signals versus single-factor scripts.
HOW TO USE
Chart : XRP-USD · 1-WEEK (lower timeframes unsupported)
Watch : EARLY label → flips to MAJOR at weekly confirmation (bar tint appears)
Alerts : • EARLY Bottom / EARLY Top → ONCE PER BAR
• MAJOR Bottom / MAJOR Top → ONCE PER BAR CLOSE
USER-VISIBLE INPUTS
• Label distance (% ATR-90) – vertical offset for labels (Default 50)
• Light-mode palette – swap colors for bright themes (Default OFF)
• Soft-Confirm filter – ON waits for ≈ 30 % ATR pull-back on tops; OFF prints faster tops (Default ON)
• Warning checkbox – visual reminder only; no impact on signals (Default OFF)
ROADMAP
An intraday scalp mode for this XRP script is under development.
LIMITATIONS & DISCLAIMER
• Designed exclusively for the weekly timeframe; extreme market events can override any model—always manage risk.
• Educational tool — not financial advice. Past performance ≠ future returns.
Advanced Volume Profile Levels (Working)This indicator is a powerful tool for traders who use volume profile analysis to identify significant price levels. It automatically calculates and plots the three most critical levels derived from volume data—the Point of Control (POC), Value Area High (VAH), and Value Area Low (VAL)—for three different timeframes simultaneously: the previous week, the previous day, and the current, live session.
The primary focus of this indicator is unmatched readability. It features dynamic, floating labels that stay clear of price action, combined with a high-contrast design to ensure you can see these crucial levels at a glance without any visual clutter.
Key Features
Multi-Session Analysis: Gain a complete market perspective by viewing levels from different timeframes on a single chart.
Weekly Levels: Identify the long-term areas of value and control from the prior week's trading activity.
Daily Levels: Pinpoint the most significant levels from the previous day's Regular Trading Hours (9:30 AM - 4:00 PM ET).
Current Session Levels: Track the developing value area and POC in real-time with a dynamic profile that updates with every bar.
Advanced Visuals for Clarity:
Floating Labels: The labels for the weekly and daily levels intelligently "float" on the right side of your chart, moving with the price to ensure they are never obscured by candles.
High-Contrast Design: Labels are designed for maximum readability with solid, opaque backgrounds and an automatic text color (black or white) that provides the best contrast against your chosen level color.
Trailing Current Levels: The labels for the current session neatly trail the most recent price action, providing an intuitive view of intra-day developments.
Comprehensive Customization: Tailor the indicator's appearance to your exact preferences.
Toggle each profile (Weekly, Daily, Current) on or off.
Individually set the color, line style (solid, dashed, dotted), and line width for each set of levels.
Adjust the text size, background transparency, and horizontal offset for all on-chart labels.
Information Hub:
On-Chart Price Labels: Each label clearly displays both the level name and its precise price (e.g., "D-POC: 22068.50").
Corner Table: An optional, clean table in the top-right corner provides a quick summary of all active weekly and daily level values.
Built-in Alerts:
Create alerts directly from the script to be notified whenever the price crosses above or below the weekly or daily Point of Control, helping you stay on top of key market movements.
How to Use
The levels provided by this indicator serve as powerful reference points for market activity:
Point of Control (POC): The price level with the highest traded volume. It acts as a magnet for price and represents the area of "fair value" for that session. Markets often test or revert to the POC.
Value Area High (VAH) & Value Area Low (VAL): These levels define the range where approximately 70% of the session's volume occurred. They are critical support and resistance zones.
Price acceptance above the VAH may signal a bullish breakout.
Price acceptance below the VAL may signal a bearish breakdown.
Rejection at the VAH or VAL often leads to price moving back across the value area towards the POC.

Session boxes show the price range during each market open, with pip counts displayed at session close.
Trading Applications:
Use HOPD/LOPD as breakout or reversal levels
Trade bounces off weekly levels (WH/WL)
Identify low-volatility sessions for range trading
Spot high-volatility sessions for breakout strategies
Combine session boxes with key levels for confluence
Note: Optimized for Forex but works on all instruments. Asian session hours automatically adjust for non-Forex assets.
FIB W-VWAP [A0A_Indicator]FIB W-VWAP is an advanced weekly anchored VWAP indicator that leverages Fibonacci-based deviation bands and a custom price source for improved market relevance.
Key Features:
Weekly Anchored VWAP: Resets automatically at the Friday NYSE close, providing a rolling weekly anchor that aligns with professional trading practice.
Fibonacci Deviation Levels: Plots multiple deviation bands around the VWAP, calculated using fixed Fibonacci-inspired multipliers for both positive and negative directions. These serve as key support and resistance zones for mean reversion or trend continuation strategies.
Dynamic Standard Deviation: Each band is based on the live, rolling standard deviation of price within the current weekly session, adapting in real time to changing volatility.
Unique Hybrid Price Source:
VWAP and deviation bands are calculated using a custom price formula:
hidden
This approach gives extra weight to the closing price while still considering intrabar extremes, resulting in a smoother and more robust anchor compared to classic VWAP formulas (such as typical price or close-only).
Visual Enhancements:
Distinct color fills and lines for each band
Configurable transparency and labels
Clearly marked VWAP and all deviation levels, labeled with their corresponding Fibonacci levels
Adaptable for Discretionary and Systematic Trading:
Useful for identifying mean reversion trades, breakouts, and overextended moves during the trading week.
How it works:
At each new weekly session (NY close on Friday), the VWAP and its standard deviation reset.
The script continuously updates cumulative price × volume, cumulative volume, and cumulative price² × volume to maintain accurate VWAP and standard deviation calculations.
Each deviation band is plotted as a multiple of the weekly standard deviation above and below the VWAP, using fixed Fibonacci coefficients.
Labels and horizontal lines extend into the future for clear, actionable visual reference.
Why use this version?
This indicator offers greater precision in turbulent markets, robust support/resistance mapping, and is especially effective for traders seeking a more nuanced, statistically informed view of weekly price structure. The hybrid source makes it more reliable during volatility spikes than classic VWAP methods.
Ready for all timeframes and asset classes—especially powerful for intraday and swing traders working with weekly cycles.

8EMA/VWAP14 Oscillator w/ Trend Exhaustion Bands8EMA/VWAP14 Oscillator w/ Trend Exhaustion Bands + Performance Screener
Introducing the 8EMA/VWAP14 Oscillator with Trend Exhaustion Bands + Screener Suite - a comprehensive trading system that combines trend identification, momentum analysis, and real-time performance tracking all in one indicator. This system features a four-tier signal approach: early momentum warning dots before anything happens, confirmed entry/exit triangles when it's time to act, a dynamic trend ribbon on your price chart, and adaptive exhaustion bands that adjust to each asset's unique characteristics. The built-in performance tracker shows exactly how well your signals are working - success rates, average time to hit targets, and more - providing clear insight for confident trading decisions. Optimized for daily and weekly timeframes, this suite is suitable for both manual traders and automated strategies.
Aim of the Indicator
The 8EMA/VWAP14 Oscillator with Trend Exhaustion Bands is an advanced momentum oscillator system that combines trend identification, momentum analysis, and forward-looking performance validation. This comprehensive tool measures the percentage difference between an 8-period Exponential Moving Average and a 14-period Volume Weighted Average Price while providing multiple layers of signal confirmation through visual trend ribbons, momentum shift alerts, and adaptive exhaustion detection.
How to Interpret the Indicator
Visual Trend System: The indicator displays a dynamic ribbon between the 8EMA and 14VWAP lines on the price chart, automatically colored green when EMA8 is above VWAP14 (bullish trend) and red when below (bearish trend), providing instant trend context.
Four-Tier Signal System:
Tiny Green Dots (Below Bars): Early bullish momentum shifts when the oscillator crosses above its adaptive baseline
Green Triangles (Below Bars): Confirmed buy signals when EMA8 crosses above VWAP14
Tiny Red Dots (Above Bars): Early bearish momentum shifts when the oscillator crosses below its adaptive baseline
Red Triangles (Above Bars): Confirmed sell signals when EMA8 crosses below VWAP14
Oscillator Analysis: The separate pane displays the momentum oscillator with a dynamic zero line (thin blue) representing the recent average EMA8/VWAP14 relationship. Trend exhaustion is detected through adaptive bands - orange for potential upside exhaustion and purple for potential downside exhaustion, calculated dynamically based on the oscillator's historical range relative to its adaptive baseline.
Key Settings and Flexibility
Signal Source Customization: Choose from Open, High, Low, Close, OHLC Average, or HL Average to optimize signal sensitivity for different market conditions and trading styles.
Multi-Timeframe Capability: Enable higher timeframe analysis to use signals from longer periods while trading on shorter timeframes, significantly reducing noise and improving signal quality for more reliable entries.
Dynamic Baseline Controls: Adjust the adaptive zero line calculation period (5-100 bars) - shorter periods provide more responsive momentum detection, while longer periods offer smoother trend context and reduced false signals.
Entry Timing Options: "Bar Opening Only" mode ensures signals trigger only at confirmed bar close using realistic entry prices, eliminating mid-bar noise and providing accurate backtesting results for automated trading systems.
Adaptive Exhaustion Detection: Customize lookback periods and threshold multipliers to fine-tune exhaustion sensitivity for different volatility environments and asset classes.
Comprehensive Performance Tracking: Set custom profit targets (1-50%) and maximum holding periods to analyze forward-looking signal effectiveness with real-time success rate monitoring.
Advanced Features and Benefits
Forward-Looking Performance Analytics: Unlike traditional backtesting, this system tracks how often buy signals reach specified profit targets and measures average time to target, providing immediate validation of signal quality across different assets and timeframes.
Adaptive Baseline Technology: The dynamic zero line automatically adjusts to each asset's unique EMA8/VWAP14 relationship patterns, making momentum signals contextually relevant rather than using static thresholds that may not suit all market conditions.
Professional Entry/Exit Tracking: When "Bar Opening Only" is enabled, all performance calculations use actual tradeable prices (next bar's open) rather than theoretical mid-bar prices, ensuring realistic performance expectations.
Visual Performance Dashboard: Real-time table displaying success rate, average bars to target, fastest/slowest target achievement, and active position tracking with complete transparency about timeframe, signal source, and methodology being used.
Integrated Alert System: Comprehensive alerts for both early momentum shifts and confirmed crossover signals, enabling automated trading integration and timely manual intervention.
Best Practices for Timing Entries and Exits
Entry Timing Strategy:
Watch for Early Warning: Monitor tiny green dots as momentum builds - this is your preparation phase
Confirm with Ribbon: Ensure the ribbon color aligns with your intended direction (green for long positions)
Enter on Triangle Signal: Execute entries when confirmed buy triangles appear, using realistic bar opening prices
Avoid Exhaustion Zones: Be cautious entering when the oscillator is near orange (upper) exhaustion bands
Exit Timing Strategy:
Monitor Momentum Shifts: Red dots above bars provide early warning of potential reversals before actual sell signals
Use Exhaustion Bands: Consider partial profit-taking when oscillator reaches exhaustion zones (orange/purple bands)
Confirm with Sell Signals: Exit positions when red triangles appear, especially if preceded by bearish momentum dots
Time-Based Exits: Utilize the "Max Bars to Target" setting to avoid holding losing positions indefinitely
Risk Management Integration:
Position Sizing: Use success rate metrics to adjust position sizes - higher success rates may warrant larger positions
Multi-Timeframe Confluence: Combine daily signals with weekly context for highest probability setups
Avoid False Signals: Wait for momentum dots before triangles for stronger signal confirmation, reducing whipsaw trades
Optimal Market Conditions:
Trending Markets: Ribbon provides clear directional bias - trade in direction of ribbon color
Range-Bound Markets: Focus on exhaustion bands for reversal opportunities near dynamic support/resistance levels
Volatile Conditions: Use higher timeframe settings to filter noise and focus on more significant moves
Optimal Timeframe Usage
This indicator achieves exceptional performance on Daily timeframes and delivers superior results on Weekly timeframes. Weekly analysis is particularly powerful for position trading and swing strategies, as the adaptive exhaustion bands and momentum shifts have greater statistical significance over extended periods. The ribbon visualization becomes especially valuable on longer timeframes, clearly delineating major trend phases while filtering out intraday noise that can plague shorter-term analysis.
Alternative Applications
Multi-Timeframe Confluence System: Use weekly signals for trend direction while executing entries on daily timeframes, combining the indicator's momentum dots and triangles across different time horizons for high-probability setups.
Automated Trading Integration: The indicator's comprehensive alert system and realistic entry tracking make it ideal for automated trading platforms, with clear signal hierarchy and performance validation built into the system.
Risk-Adjusted Position Sizing: Utilize real-time success rate data and average holding period metrics to dynamically adjust position sizes based on current market effectiveness of the strategy.
Market Regime Detection: The ribbon color changes and exhaustion band interactions help identify when markets transition between trending and ranging conditions, allowing strategy adaptation accordingly.
Performance Validation Tool: Test signal effectiveness across different assets, timeframes, and market conditions before committing capital, using the forward-looking analytics to validate strategy assumptions.
Conclusion
The 8EMA/VWAP14 Oscillator with Trend Exhaustion Bands represents a comprehensive trading system that bridges the gap between manual analysis and automated execution. Its multi-layered approach provides both leading momentum indicators and lagging confirmation signals, while the adaptive baseline technology ensures relevance across different market conditions and asset classes. The integration of visual trend ribbons, performance analytics, and flexible timing controls makes it suitable for both discretionary traders seeking enhanced market insight and systematic traders requiring robust signal validation for automated strategies.
DWMY Opens (for aggr. charts) by Koenigsegg🟣 DWMY Opens (for Aggregated Charts) by Koenigsegg
Revolutionary compatibility with aggregated charts – This indicator represents a significant breakthrough in displaying Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly opening levels on aggregated chart types where traditional DWMY indicators have historically failed to function properly.
Complete aggregated chart support – Unlike previous Daily Weekly Monthly Yearly Opens indicators that experienced severe limitations when pulling data from non-standard chart types, this version is specifically engineered to work flawlessly with aggregated charts, range bars, Renko charts, Point & Figure charts, and all other non-time-based chart constructions.
Persistent horizontal reference lines – The indicator draws four distinct horizontal lines representing the opening prices of the current Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly periods, extending these levels forward into future bars to provide clear reference points for key support and resistance analysis.
Advanced customization capabilities – Features comprehensive user controls including custom label naming for each timeframe, adjustable line colors with independent color selection for Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly levels, configurable line width settings, and variable label font sizes ranging from tiny to huge.
Dynamic label positioning system – Implements a sophisticated label placement mechanism with configurable tick offset positioning and fixed end-bars-ahead projection, ensuring labels remain visible and properly positioned regardless of chart zoom level or timeframe.
Intelligent period detection logic – Utilizes advanced Pine Script time change detection algorithms specifically optimized for aggregated charts, accurately identifying new Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly periods even when traditional time-based functions fail on non-standard chart types.
Performance-optimized architecture – Built with efficient persistent variable storage using the var keyword, minimizing computational overhead while maintaining real-time updates across all timeframe levels simultaneously.
Professional visual presentation – Delivers clean, uncluttered chart visualization with strategically positioned labels that clearly identify each timeframe level without interfering with price action analysis.

Pine Script v6 foundation – Leverages the latest Pine Script version 6 capabilities, ensuring optimal performance, stability, and compatibility with current and future TradingView platform updates.
This indicator solves a critical limitation that has long plagued traders using aggregated chart types, finally enabling reliable access to essential Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly opening levels that serve as fundamental support and resistance zones in technical analysis. The breakthrough lies in its ability to maintain accurate period detection and level plotting regardless of the underlying chart construction methodology.
🟣 How It Works
Automatic period detection – The indicator continuously monitors for time changes across four distinct timeframes using ta.change(time()) functions for Daily and Weekly periods, month transitions for Monthly levels, and year changes for Yearly opens, ensuring precise identification of new period beginnings.
Real-time level updates – When a new period is detected, the indicator captures the opening price at that exact moment and immediately establishes a horizontal line from that bar extending forward to a configurable number of bars ahead, creating persistent reference levels.
Dynamic line management – Each timeframe maintains its own dedicated line object and label, with the indicator continuously updating the endpoint coordinates and label positions as new bars form, ensuring the levels always project the specified distance into the future.
Intelligent label placement – Labels are positioned at the end of each line with automatic vertical offset based on the symbol’s minimum tick size, preventing overlap with price action while maintaining clear identification of each timeframe level.
🟣 Pro Tips for Optimal Usage
Multi-timeframe confluence – Look for areas where multiple DWMY levels converge within close proximity, as these zones typically act as stronger support or resistance levels due to increased market participant attention at these psychological price points.
Breakout confirmation strategy – When price breaks above or below a significant DWMY level with strong volume, the broken level often transforms into support (if broken upward) or resistance (if broken downward), providing excellent entry and exit reference points.
Range trading opportunities – On ranging markets, use Daily and Weekly opens as potential reversal zones, especially when price approaches these levels during low-volume periods or near session opens when institutional activity increases.
Timeframe alignment technique – For swing trading, prioritize trades that align with the direction of the break from Weekly or Monthly opens, while using Daily opens for precise entry timing and position management.
Chart type optimization – This indicator excels on Renko, Range, and Point & Figure charts where traditional time-based DWMY indicators fail, making it invaluable for traders who prefer these aggregated chart types for cleaner price action analysis.

1. INDICATOR OVERVIEW & CORE FUNCTIONALITY
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The LOI indicator combines multiple VWAP calculations with moving averages across different timeframes. It's designed to show where institutional money is flowing and help identify key support and resistance levels that actually matter in today's markets.
Primary Functions:
- Multi-timeframe VWAP analysis (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly)
- Advanced moving average integration (EMA, SMA, HMA)
- Real-time trend direction detection
- Institutional flow analysis
- Dynamic support/resistance identification
Target Users: Day traders, swing traders, position traders, and institutional analysts seeking comprehensive market structure analysis.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. VWAP FOUNDATION & HISTORICAL CONTEXT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Historical Development: VWAP started in the 1980s when big institutional traders needed a way to measure if they were getting good fills on their massive orders. Unlike regular price averages, VWAP weighs each price by the volume traded at that level. This makes it incredibly useful because it shows you where most of the real money changed hands.
Mathematical Foundation: The basic math is simple: you take each price, multiply it by the volume at that price, add them all up, then divide by total volume. What you get is the true "average" price that reflects actual trading activity, not just random price movements.
Formula: VWAP = Σ(Price × Volume) / Σ(Volume)
Where typical price = (High + Low + Close) / 3
Institutional Behavior Patterns:
- When price trades above VWAP, institutions often look to sell
- When it's below, they're usually buying
- Creates natural support and resistance that you can actually trade against
- Serves as benchmark for execution quality assessment
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. MULTI-TIMEFRAME VWAP ANALYSIS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Core Innovation: Here's where LOI gets interesting. Instead of just showing daily VWAP like most indicators, it displays four different timeframes simultaneously:
**Daily VWAP Implementation**:
- Resets every morning at market open
- Provides clearest picture of intraday institutional sentiment
- Primary tool for day trading strategies
- Most responsive to immediate market conditions
**Weekly VWAP System**:
- Resets each Monday (or first trading day)
- Smooths out daily noise and volatility
- Perfect for swing trades lasting several days to weeks
- Captures weekly institutional positioning
**Monthly VWAP Analysis**:
- Resets at beginning of each calendar month
- Captures bigger institutional rebalancing at month-end
- Fund managers often operate on monthly mandates
- Significant weight in intermediate-term analysis
**Yearly VWAP Perspective**:
- Resets annually for full-year institutional view
- Shows long-term institutional positioning
- Where pension funds and sovereign wealth funds operate
- Critical for major trend identification
Confluence Zone Theory: The magic happens when multiple VWAP levels cluster together. These confluence zones often become major turning points because different types of institutional money all see value at the same price.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. MOVING AVERAGE INTEGRATION SYSTEM
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Multi-Type Implementation: The indicator includes three types of moving averages, each with its own personality and application:
**Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs)**:
- React quickly to recent price changes
- Displayed as solid lines for easy identification
- Optimal performance in trending market conditions
- Higher sensitivity to current price action
**Simple Moving Averages (SMAs)**:
- Treat all historical data points equally
- Appear as dashed lines in visual display
- Slower response but more reliable in choppy conditions
- Traditional approach favored by institutional traders
**Hull Moving Averages (HMAs)**:
- Newest addition to the system (dotted line display)
- Created by Alan Hull in 2005
- Solves classic moving average dilemma: speed vs. accuracy
- Manages to be both responsive and smooth simultaneously
Technical Innovation: Alan Hull's solution addresses the fundamental problem where moving averages are either too slow (missing moves) or too fast (generating false signals). HMAs achieve optimal balance through weighted calculation methodology.
Period Configuration:
- 5-period: Short-term momentum assessment
- 50-period: Intermediate trend identification
- 200-period: Long-term directional confirmation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. TREND DIRECTION SIGNAL DETECTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Real-Time Momentum Analysis: One of LOI's best features is its real-time trend detection system. Next to each moving average, visual symbols provide immediate trend assessment:
Symbol System:
- ▲ Rising average (bullish momentum confirmation)
- ▼ Falling average (bearish momentum indication)
- ► Flat average (consolidation or indecision period)
Update Frequency: These signals update in real-time with each new price tick and function across all configured timeframes. Traders can quickly scan daily and weekly trends to assess alignment or conflicting signals.
Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis:
- Simultaneous daily and weekly trend comparison
- Immediate identification of trend alignment
- Early warning system for potential reversals
- Momentum confirmation for entry decisions
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. VISUAL DESIGN & DISPLAY FEATURES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Color Psychology Framework: The color scheme isn't random but based on psychological associations and trading conventions:
- **Blue Tones**: Institutional neutrality (VWAP levels)
- **Green Spectrum**: Growth and stability (weekly timeframes)
- **Purple Range**: Longer-term sophistication (monthly analysis)
- **Orange Hues**: Importance and attention (yearly perspective)
- **Red Tones**: User-defined significance (custom levels)
Adaptive Display Technology: The indicator automatically adjusts decimal places based on the instrument you're trading. High-priced stocks show 2 decimals, while penny stocks might show 8. This keeps the display incredibly clean regardless of what you're analyzing - no cluttered charts or overwhelming information overload.
Smart Labeling System: Advanced positioning algorithm automatically spaces all elements to prevent overlap, even during extreme zoom levels or multiple timeframe analysis. Every level stays clearly readable without any visual chaos disrupting your analysis.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. CUSTOM LEVEL INTEGRATION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
User-Defined Level System: Beyond the calculated VWAP and moving average levels, traders can add custom horizontal lines at any price point for personalized analysis.
Strategic Applications:
- **Psychological Levels**: Round numbers, previous significant highs/lows
- **Technical Levels**: Fibonacci retracements, pivot points
- **Fundamental Targets**: Analyst price targets, earnings estimates
- **Risk Management**: Stop-loss and take-profit zones
Integration Features:
- Seamless incorporation with smart labeling system
- Custom color selection for visual organization
- Extension capabilities across all chart timeframes
- Maintains display clarity with existing indicators
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. REPAINT PROTECTION TECHNOLOGY
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Critical Trading Feature: This addresses one of the most significant issues in live trading applications. Most multi-timeframe indicators "repaint," meaning they display different signals when viewing historical data versus real-time analysis.
Protection Benefits:
- Ensures every displayed signal could have been traded when it appeared
- Eliminates discrepancies between historical and live analysis
- Provides realistic performance expectations
- Maintains signal integrity across chart refreshes
Configuration Options:
- **Protection Enabled**: Default setting for live trading
- **Protection Disabled**: Available for backtesting analysis
- User-selectable toggle based on analysis requirements
- Applies to all multi-timeframe calculations
Implementation Note: With protection enabled, signals may appear one bar later than without protection, but this ensures all signals represent actionable opportunities that could have been executed in real-time market conditions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. PRACTICAL TRADING APPLICATIONS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
**Day Trading Strategy**:
Focus on daily VWAP with 5-period moving averages. Look for bounces off VWAP or breaks through it with volume. Short-term momentum signals provide entry and exit timing.
**Swing Trading Approach**:
Weekly VWAP becomes your primary anchor point, with 50-period averages showing intermediate trends. Position sizing based on weekly VWAP distance.
**Position Trading Method**:
Monthly and yearly VWAP provide broad market context, while 200-period averages confirm long-term directional bias. Suitable for multi-week to multi-month holdings.
**Multi-Timeframe Confluence Strategy**:
The highest-probability setups occur when daily, weekly, and monthly VWAPs cluster together, especially when multiple moving averages confirm the same direction. These represent institutional consensus zones.
Risk Management Integration:
- VWAP levels serve as dynamic stop-loss references
- Multiple timeframe confirmation reduces false signals
- Institutional flow analysis improves position sizing decisions
- Trend direction signals optimize entry and exit timing
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. SETUP & CONFIGURATION RECOMMENDATIONS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Initial Configuration: Start with default settings and adjust based on individual trading style and market focus. Short-term traders should emphasize daily and weekly timeframes, while longer-term investors benefit from monthly and yearly level analysis.
Transparency Optimization: The transparency settings allow clear price action visibility while maintaining level reference points. Most traders find 70-80% transparency optimal - it provides a clean, unobstructed view of price movement while maintaining all critical reference levels needed for analysis.
Integration Strategy: Remember that no indicator functions effectively in isolation. LOI provides excellent context for institutional flow and trend direction analysis, but should be combined with complementary analysis tools for optimal results.
Performance Considerations:
- Multiple timeframe calculations may impact chart loading speed
- Adjust displayed timeframes based on trading frequency
- Customize color schemes for different market sessions
- Regular review and adjustment of custom levels
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FINAL ANALYSIS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Competitive Advantage: What makes LOI different is its focus on where real money actually trades. By combining volume-weighted calculations with multiple timeframes and trend detection, it cuts through market noise to show you what institutions are really doing.
Key Success Factor: Understanding that different timeframes serve different purposes is essential. Use them together to build a complete picture of market structure, then execute trades accordingly.
The integration of institutional flow analysis with technical trend detection creates a comprehensive trading tool that addresses both short-term tactical decisions and longer-term strategic positioning.
