Reverse Cutlers Relative Strength Index On ChartIntroduction
The Reverse Cutlers Relative Strength Index (RCRSI) OC is an indicator which tells the user what price is required to give a particular Cutlers Relative Strength Index ( RSI ) value, or cross its Moving Average (MA) signal line.
Overview
Background & Credits:
The relative strength index ( RSI ) is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis that was originally developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. and introduced in his seminal 1978 book, “New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems.”.
Cutler created a variation of the RSI known as “Cutlers RSI” using a different formulation to avoid an inherent accuracy problem which arises when using Wilders method of smoothing.
Further developments in the use, and more nuanced interpretations of the RSI have been developed by Cardwell, and also by well-known chartered market technician, Constance Brown C.M.T., in her acclaimed book "Technical Analysis for the Trading Professional” 1999 where she described the idea of bull and bear market ranges for RSI , and while she did not actually reveal the formulas, she introduced the concept of “reverse engineering” the RSI to give price level outputs.
Renowned financial software developer, co-author of academic books on finance, and scientific fellow to the Department of Finance and Insurance at the Technological Educational Institute of Crete, Giorgos Siligardos PHD . brought a new perspective to Wilder’s RSI when he published his excellent and well-received articles "Reverse Engineering RSI " and "Reverse Engineering RSI II " in the June 2003, and August 2003 issues of Stocks & Commodities magazine, where he described his methods of reverse engineering Wilders RSI .
Several excellent Implementations of the Reverse Wilders Relative Strength Index have been published here on Tradingview and elsewhere.
My utmost respect, and all due credits to authors of related prior works.
Introduction
It is worth noting that while the general RSI formula, and the logic dictating the UpMove and DownMove data series has remained the same as the Wilders original formulation, it has been interpreted in a different way by using a different method of averaging the upward, and downward moves.
Cutler recognized the issue of data length dependency when using wilders smoothing method of calculating RSI which means that wilders standard RSI will have a potential initialization error which reduces with every new data point calculated meaning early results should be regarded as unreliable until enough calculation iterations have occurred for convergence.
Hence Cutler proposed using Simple Moving Averaging for gain and loss data which this Indicator is based on.
Having "Reverse engineered" prices for any oscillator makes the planning, and execution of strategies around that oscillator far simpler, more timely and effective.
Introducing the Reverse Cutlers RSI which consists of plotted lines on a scale of 0 to 100, and an optional infobox.
The RSI scale is divided into zones:
• Scale high (100)
• Bull critical zone (80 - 100)
• Bull control zone (62 - 80)
• Scale midline (50)
• Bear control zone (20 - 38)
• Bear critical zone (0 - 20)
• Scale low (0)
The RSI plots which graphically display output closing price levels where Cutlers RSI value will crossover:
• RSI (eq) (previous RSI value)
• RSI MA signal line
• RSI Test price
• Alert level high
• Alert level low
The info box displays output closing price levels where Cutlers RSI value will crossover:
• Its previous value. ( RSI )
• Bull critical zone.
• Bull control zone.
• Mid-Line.
• Bear control zone.
• Bear critical zone.
• RSI MA signal line
• Alert level High
• Alert level low
And also displays the resultant RSI for a user defined closing price:
• Test price RSI
The infobox outputs can be shown for the current bar close, or the next bar close.
The user can easily select which information they want in the infobox from the setttings
Importantly:
All info box price levels for the current bar are calculated immediately upon the current bar closing and a new bar opening, they will not change until the current bar closes.
All info box price levels for the next bar are projections which are continually recalculated as the current price changes, and therefore fluctuate as the current price changes.
Understanding the Relative Strength Index
At its simplest the RSI is a measure of how quickly traders are bidding the price of an asset up or down.
It does this by calculating the difference in magnitude of price gains and losses over a specific lookback period to evaluate market conditions.
The RSI is displayed as an oscillator (a line graph that can move between two extremes) and outputs a value limited between 0 and 100.
It is typically accompanied by a moving average signal line.
Traditional interpretations
Overbought and oversold:
An RSI value of 70 or above indicates that an asset is becoming overbought (overvalued condition), and may be may be ready for a trend reversal or corrective pullback in price.
An RSI value of 30 or below indicates that an asset is becoming oversold (undervalued condition), and may be may be primed for a trend reversal or corrective pullback in price.
Midline Crossovers:
When the RSI crosses above its midline ( RSI > 50%) a bullish bias signal is generated. (only take long trades)
When the RSI crosses below its midline ( RSI < 50%) a bearish bias signal is generated. (only take short trades)
Bullish and bearish moving average signal Line crossovers:
When the RSI line crosses above its signal line, a bullish buy signal is generated
When the RSI line crosses below its signal line, a bearish sell signal is generated.
Swing Failures and classic rejection patterns:
If the RSI makes a lower high, and then follows with a downside move below the previous low, a Top Swing Failure has occurred.
If the RSI makes a higher low, and then follows with an upside move above the previous high, a Bottom Swing Failure has occurred.
Examples of classic swing rejection patterns
Bullish swing rejection pattern:
The RSI moves into oversold zone (below 30%).
The RSI rejects back out of the oversold zone (above 30%)
The RSI forms another dip without crossing back into oversold zone.
The RSI then continues the bounce to break up above the previous high.
Bearish swing rejection pattern:
The RSI moves into overbought zone (above 70%).
The RSI rejects back out of the overbought zone (below 70%)
The RSI forms another peak without crossing back into overbought zone.
The RSI then continues to break down below the previous low.
Divergences:
A regular bullish RSI divergence is when the price makes lower lows in a downtrend and the RSI indicator makes higher lows.
A regular bearish RSI divergence is when the price makes higher highs in an uptrend and the RSI indicator makes lower highs.
A hidden bullish RSI divergence is when the price makes higher lows in an uptrend and the RSI indicator makes lower lows.
A hidden bearish RSI divergence is when the price makes lower highs in a downtrend and the RSI indicator makes higher highs.
Regular divergences can signal a reversal of the trending direction.
Hidden divergences can signal a continuation in the direction of the trend.
Chart Patterns:
RSI regularly forms classic chart patterns that may not show on the underlying price chart, such as ascending and descending triangles & wedges , double tops, bottoms and trend lines etc.
Support and Resistance:
It is very often easier to define support or resistance levels on the RSI itself rather than the price chart.
Modern interpretations in trending markets:
Modern interpretations of the RSI stress the context of the greater trend when using RSI signals such as crossovers, overbought/oversold conditions, divergences and patterns.
Constance Brown, CMT , was one of the first who promoted the idea that an oversold reading on the RSI in an uptrend is likely much higher than 30%, and that an overbought reading on the RSI during a downtrend is much lower than the 70% level.
In an uptrend or bull market, the RSI tends to remain in the 40 to 90 range, with the 40-50 zone acting as support.
During a downtrend or bear market, the RSI tends to stay between the 10 to 60 range, with the 50-60 zone acting as resistance.
For ease of executing more modern and nuanced interpretations of RSI it is very useful to break the RSI scale into bull and bear control and critical zones.
These ranges will vary depending on the RSI settings and the strength of the specific market’s underlying trend.
Limitations of the RSI
Like most technical indicators, its signals are most reliable when they conform to the long-term trend.
True trend reversal signals are rare, and can be difficult to separate from false signals.
False signals or “fake-outs”, e.g. a bullish crossover, followed by a sudden decline in price, are common.
Since the indicator displays momentum, it can stay overbought or oversold for a long time when an asset has significant sustained momentum in either direction.
Data Length Dependency when using wilders smoothing method of calculating RSI means that wilders standard RSI will have a potential initialization error which reduces with every new data point calculated meaning early results should be regarded as unreliable until calculation iterations have occurred for convergence.

Multicolor Bollinger Bands - Market PhasesHi everyone
Hope you're all doing well 😘
Today I feel gracious and decided to give to the community. And giving not only an indicator but also a trading method
This trading method shows how a convergence based on moving averages is tremendous
Multicolour Bollinger Bands indicator that indicates market phases.
It plots on the price chart, thanks to different color zones between the bands, a breakdown of the different phases that the price operates during a trend.
The different zones are identified as follows:
- red color zone: trend is bearish, price is below the 200 periods moving average
- orange color zone: price operate a technical rebound below the 200 periods moving average
- yellow color zone: (phase 1 which indicate a new bearish cycle)
- light green zone: (phase 2 which indicate a new bullish cycle)
- dark green zone: trend is bullish, price is above the 200 periods moving average
- grey color zone: calm phase of price
- dark blue color zone: price is consolidating in either bullish or bearish trend
- light blue zones: price will revert to a new opposite trend (either long or short new trend)
By identifying clearly the different market phases with the multicolor Bollinger bands, the market entries by either a the beginning of a new trend or just after a rebound or a consolidating phase is easier to spot on.
Trade well and trade safe

Elite S&D [By:CienF]Elite Supply & Demand
Description
Elite Supply & Demand is not just another zone indicator; it is a complete institutional trading system designed to identify high-probability imbalances in the market. Unlike standard indicators that flood the chart with weak zones, this script applies rigorous Price Action rules to filter, score, and validate only the most significant areas of interest.
The core philosophy of this tool is "Anormality". Institutional activity leaves a footprint in the form of explosive volatility relative to the recent context. This indicator detects these footprints, measures their intensity, and validates them against market structure.
Key Features
🔥 Dynamic Quality Scoring (The "Elite" Feature) The indicator doesn't just draw boxes; it rates them. It calculates a Volumetric Ratio comparing the explosive move against the historical average at the moment of creation.
Contextual Intelligence: It continues to track the initial move. If the momentum continues after a small pause, the score updates in real-time.
Visual Grades:
🔥 Fire: High Anormality (Institutional Imbalance).
⚡ Lightning: Moderate Anormality (Decent strength).
No Icon: Standard move.
🏗️ Advanced Structure Validation Includes a unique "Eventual Break" filter.
Latent Zones: You can choose to hide zones that haven't broken structure yet.
Auto-Validation: The zone remains invisible/transparent until price breaks a recent High/Low or Fractal Pivot. Once the break occurs, the zone "activates" on your chart.
🧠 Smart Mitigation Logic
No Zombie Zones: Once a zone is mitigated (touched), it is strictly processed. It can either turn gray (History Mode) or be removed instantly.
Priority Handling: Mitigated zones are never re-colored or re-validated, keeping your chart clean and accurate.
🚀 Performance Optimization
Date Lookback: Includes a "Days Back" filter to prevent the script from calculating thousands of historical candles, ensuring smooth performance even on lower timeframes (1m, 5m).
🔔 Integrated Alerts
Creation: Get notified immediately when a potential zone forms.
Validation: Get notified specifically when a latent zone breaks structure and becomes active.
How It Works ( The Logic)
Phase 1: The Base (Indecision): Identifies candles with small bodies (≤ 50% of range) representing equilibrium/accumulation.
Phase 2: The Explosion (Imbalance): Looks for a strong breakout candle (≥ 60% body) that moves away from the base.
Phase 3: The Follow-up: Verifies that the move continues. It allows for "Smart Pauses" (single indecision candles) within the trend but invalidates the zone if a reversal occurs immediately.
Phase 4: Structure Check: Verifies if the move broke the Recent Range (High/Low) or Fractal Pivots.
Settings & Configuration
1. Base & Exit Rules
Max % Body: Threshold to define an indecision candle (Default: 50%).
Explosive Min: Minimum strength required for the exit candle.
2. Structure Validation
Structure Type: Choose between Recent Range (more fluid) or Fractal Pivots (stricter).
Filter Eventual Break: Highly Recommended. If checked, zones appear only after they prove their strength by breaking structure.
3. Scoring (Quality)
High Quality Ratio: The multiplier required to earn the 🔥 icon (e.g., 2.0x larger than average).
Allow Pause: Allows the algorithm to capture larger moves even if there is a single small candle in the middle of the explosive leg.
4. Performance
Days Back: Limits how far back the indicator draws. Reduce this number on low timeframes to speed up loading.
Usage Recommendations
For Trend Trading: Look for "Follow-up" zones. If you see a 🔥 zone forming in the direction of the higher timeframe trend, it is a high-probability entry.
For Reversals: Use the "Filter Eventual Break" feature. Wait for the indicator to reveal a zone that has broken a major structure point.
Stop Loss Placement: The indicator draws the zone covering the entire "Base" (wicks included). A safe stop is typically just beyond the distal line (33% recommended) of the box.
🔔 How to Set Up Alerts
Since this indicator uses the dynamic alert() function to send detailed messages (Entry Price, Stop Zone, Type), you must configure it correctly:
Add the indicator to your chart and adjust the settings to your preference.
Click the "Create Alert" button (Clock Icon) on the right toolbar or press Alt + A.
Condition: Select "Elite S&D " from the dropdown menu.
Trigger (CRITICAL): You must select "Any alert() function call".
Note: Do not select "Crossing" or other standard conditions, or the alerts will not trigger.
Expiration: Select "Open-ended" (if you have a Premium plan) or set a future date.
Alert Actions: Choose where you want to receive the alert (Notify on App, Show Popup, Send Email, etc.).
Message: You can leave this default. The script automatically generates a detailed message with the Ticker, Timeframe, Zone Type, and Coordinates.
Click Create.

Inside SwingsOverview
The Inside Swings indicator identifies and visualizes "inside swing" patterns in price action. These patterns occur when price creates a series of pivots that form overlapping ranges, indicating potential consolidation or reversal zones.
What are Inside Swings?
Inside swings are specific pivot patterns where:
- HLHL Pattern: High-Low-High-Low sequence where the first high is higher than the second high, and the first low is lower than the second low
- LHLH Pattern: Low-High-Low-High sequence where the first low is lower than the second low, and the first high is higher than the second high
Here an Example
These patterns create overlapping price ranges that often act as:
- Support/Resistance zones
- Consolidation areas
- Potential reversal points
- Breakout levels
Levels From the Created Range
Input Parameters

By visualizing market zones through colored candles and histograms, the indicator provides clear visual cues about market momentum and potential trading opportunities. The script generates buy/sell signals based on zone crossovers, making it an invaluable tool for both technical analysis and automated trading strategies. Whether you're a day trader, swing trader, or algorithmic trader, this indicator can help you identify market regimes, support/resistance levels, and potential entry/exit points with greater precision.
FEATURES
Dynamic Support/Resistance Zones: Calculates dynamic support (bear market zone) and resistance (bull market zone) using weighted price calculations and ALMA smoothing
Visual Market Representation: Color-coded candles and histograms provide immediate visual feedback about market conditions
Smart Signal Generation: Automatic buy/sell signals generated from zone crossovers with clear visual indicators
Customizable Parameters: Four different ALMA smoothing parameters for various timeframes and trading styles
Multi-Timeframe Compatibility: Works across different timeframes from 1-minute to weekly charts
Real-time Analysis: Provides instant feedback on market momentum and trend direction
Clear Visual Cues: Green candles indicate bullish momentum, red candles indicate bearish momentum, and white candles indicate neutral conditions
Histogram Visualization: Blue histogram shows bear market zone (below support), aqua histogram shows bull market zone (above resistance)
Signal Labels: "B" labels mark buy signals (price crosses above resistance), "S" labels mark sell signals (price crosses below support)
Overlay Functionality: Works as an overlay indicator without cluttering the chart with unnecessary elements
Highly Customizable: All parameters can be adjusted to suit different trading strategies and market conditions
HOW TO USE
Add the Indicator to Your Chart
Open TradingView and navigate to your desired trading instrument
Click on "Indicators" in the top menu and select "New"
Search for "L2 Trend Linearity" or paste the Pine Script code
Click "Add to Chart" to apply the indicator
Configure the Parameters
ALMA Length Short: Set the short-term smoothing parameter (default: 3). Lower values provide more responsive signals but may generate more false signals
ALMA Length Medium: Set the medium-term smoothing parameter (default: 5). This provides a balance between responsiveness and stability
ALMA Length Long: Set the long-term smoothing parameter (default: 13). Higher values provide more stable signals but with less responsiveness
ALMA Length Very Long: Set the very long-term smoothing parameter (default: 21). This provides the most stable support/resistance levels
Understand the Visual Elements
Green Candles: Indicate bullish momentum when price is above the bear market zone (support)
Red Candles: Indicate bearish momentum when price is below the bull market zone (resistance)
White Candles: Indicate neutral market conditions when price is between support and resistance zones
Blue Histogram: Shows bear market zone when price is below support level
Aqua Histogram: Shows bull market zone when price is above resistance level
"B" Labels: Mark buy signals when price crosses above resistance
"S" Labels: Mark sell signals when price crosses below support
Identify Market Regimes
Bullish Regime: Price consistently above resistance zone with green candles and aqua histogram
Bearish Regime: Price consistently below support zone with red candles and blue histogram
Neutral Regime: Price oscillating between support and resistance zones with white candles
Generate Trading Signals
Buy Signals: Look for price crossing above the bull market zone (resistance) with confirmation from green candles
Sell Signals: Look for price crossing below the bear market zone (support) with confirmation from red candles
Confirmation: Always wait for confirmation from candle color changes before entering trades
Optimize for Different Timeframes
Scalping: Use shorter ALMA lengths (3-5) for 1-5 minute charts
Day Trading: Use medium ALMA lengths (5-13) for 15-60 minute charts
Swing Trading: Use longer ALMA lengths (13-21) for 1-4 hour charts
Position Trading: Use very long ALMA lengths (21+) for daily and weekly charts
LIMITATIONS
Whipsaw Markets: The indicator may generate false signals in choppy, sideways markets where price oscillates rapidly between support and resistance
Lagging Nature: Like all moving average-based indicators, there is inherent lag in the calculations, which may result in delayed signals
Not a Standalone Tool: This indicator should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and risk management strategies
Market Structure Dependency: Performance may vary depending on market structure and volatility conditions
Parameter Sensitivity: Different markets may require different parameter settings for optimal performance
No Volume Integration: The indicator does not incorporate volume data, which could provide additional confirmation signals
Limited Backtesting: Pine Script limitations may restrict comprehensive backtesting capabilities
Not Suitable for All Instruments: May perform differently on stocks, forex, crypto, and futures markets
Requires Confirmation: Signals should always be confirmed with other indicators or price action analysis
Not Predictive: The indicator identifies current market conditions but does not predict future price movements
NOTES
ALMA Algorithm: The indicator uses the Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA) algorithm, which is known for its excellent smoothing capabilities and reduced lag compared to traditional moving averages
Weighted Price Calculations: The bear market zone uses (2low + close) / 3, while the bull market zone uses (high + 2close) / 3, providing more weight to recent price action
Dynamic Zones: The support and resistance zones are dynamic and adapt to changing market conditions, making them more responsive than static levels
Color Psychology: The color scheme follows traditional trading psychology - green for bullish, red for bearish, and white for neutral
Signal Timing: The signals are generated on the close of each bar, ensuring they are based on complete price action
Label Positioning: Buy signals appear below the bar (red "B" label), while sell signals appear above the bar (green "S" label)
Multiple Timeframes: The indicator can be applied to multiple timeframes simultaneously for comprehensive analysis
Risk Management: Always use proper risk management techniques when trading based on indicator signals
Market Context: Consider the overall market context and trend direction when interpreting signals
Confirmation: Look for confirmation from other indicators or price action patterns before entering trades
Practice: Test the indicator on historical data before using it in live trading
Customization: Feel free to experiment with different parameter combinations to find what works best for your trading style

New York Midnight Indicator█ OVERVIEW
This script provides a visual tool for traders to track the New York Midnight (NY Midnight), a significant time marker for those who rely on New York’s financial markets. The script calculates the exact moment of midnight in New York and places a vertical line on the chart at this time, helping traders identify when a new trading day begins according to the New York time zone. The indicator also marks the midnight point with a lime-colored downward triangle to enhance visibility on the chart. It is specifically useful for traders who want to synchronize their strategies with New York’s trading hours, especially in global markets.
The script is flexible, allowing traders to adjust the UTC offset to accommodate different time zones. This is critical for those trading in different regions but still using New York as the main time reference.
█ CONCEPTS
New York Midnight: For many traders, especially those following the Forex and US stock markets, midnight in New York signifies the start of a new trading day. This point is essential for technical analysis as it often aligns with daily opening ranges, trend shifts, and volume spikes.
UTC Offset: The script includes a user-input parameter (utcOffset) to adjust the calculated time for New York midnight, ensuring that it accounts for time zone differences. This allows it to be used effectively regardless of the user’s local time zone, offering flexibility to global traders.
█ METHODOLOGY
UTC Offset Adjustment: The script starts by asking the trader to input their UTC offset (e.g., UTC -5 for New York without daylight saving time). This offset is added to the current chart time to align it with New York’s local time.
Current Hour Calculation: Once the UTC offset is applied, the script calculates the New York Hour by taking the chart’s current hour and adjusting it with the offset. This ensures that the displayed hour matches New York’s local time, regardless of the trader's location.
Vertical Line at Midnight: When the current New York hour equals 00:00 (midnight), the script plots a black vertical line on the chart. This line serves as a visual reference for the exact moment when New York's trading day begins, allowing traders to align their strategies accordingly.
Downward Triangle Plot: In addition to the vertical line, the script also adds a lime-colored downward triangle at the same bar location to further highlight the midnight point. This is useful for traders who prefer shape markers to visualize significant time events.
█ HOW TO USE
Identifying Daily Resets: The script makes it easy for traders to track when New York’s trading day resets. This is especially useful in Forex markets, where daily cycles and time zone-based volatility play an important role in price movement and volume spikes.
Time Zone Flexibility: By adjusting the UTC offset parameter, traders across the globe can synchronize their charts with New York time. This is critical for international traders who want to execute trades based on New York market patterns but reside in different time zones.
Strategic Time Marking: The vertical line and shape markers at midnight allow traders to quickly see when a new trading day starts, helping them identify patterns like the daily range, key support/resistance levels, or even potential reversals around this time.
Session-Based Analysis: Traders who work with session-based strategies (e.g., trading the Asian, European, or US sessions) can use this marker to better time their entries or exits relative to the start of the New York session.
█ METHOD VARIANTS
This script can be modified or extended in various ways to better suit specific trading strategies:
Highlighting Other Session Starts: It could be adapted to plot lines for other key session starts (e.g., London open, Tokyo open).
Multiple Time Zones: For traders who monitor several markets, the script could be extended to display midnight markers for multiple time zones.
Custom Line Styles: Users could modify the line color, thickness, or style to better match their chart aesthetic or preferences.
BTC - Power Law OscillatorDescription:
The BTC - Power Law Oscillator is a technical analysis tool designed to help traders and investors identify potential overbought and oversold conditions in the Bitcoin market. This oscillator is based on a power law model that approximates Bitcoin's historical price trajectory, providing a framework for understanding deviations from this trajectory over time.
Key Features:
Exponential Model: The oscillator uses an exponential model that represents Bitcoin's price growth over time since its inception on January 3, 2009. This model is mathematically expressed as:
price=exp(5.71×ln(days since inception)−38.16)
This captures the long-term growth trend of Bitcoin, allowing for the analysis of deviations from this model.
Deviation Analysis: The Power Law Oscillator measures the percentage deviation of Bitcoin's closing price from the model price. This deviation is expressed as a percentage to illustrate how far the current price is from the expected model trajectory.
Normalization: The oscillator values are normalized to a 0-100 range. A quadratic transformation is applied to enhance sensitivity to higher values, allowing for better visualization and interpretation of extreme conditions.
Bands and Zones:
Upper Band (50): Indicates the 20% threshold. Values above this band suggest overbought conditions, where Bitcoin's price may be significantly above the expected trajectory.
Lower Band (15): Indicates the 5% threshold. Values below this band suggest oversold conditions, where Bitcoin's price may be significantly below the expected trajectory.
Top Zone: The area above the upper band is shaded red, highlighting potential sell or caution areas.
Bottom Zone: The area below the lower band is shaded green, highlighting potential buy or accumulation areas.
Benefits:
Trend Analysis: Helps identify long-term trends and potential reversals by analyzing price deviations from a theoretical model based on historical growth.
Market Timing: Assists in market timing decisions by indicating overbought and oversold conditions with visual bands and zones.
Enhanced Sensitivity: The quadratic normalization enhances sensitivity to changes in the oscillator, providing clearer signals for traders.
Usage Tips:
Complementary Tool: Use this oscillator in conjunction with other technical indicators and fundamental analysis for more comprehensive market insights.
Risk Management: Always employ sound risk management strategies when trading, as no single indicator can guarantee accurate predictions.
Market Context: Consider the broader market context, as Bitcoin's volatility can lead to significant short-term fluctuations.
The BTC - Power Law Oscillator provides a unique perspective on Bitcoin's price movements by leveraging a mathematical model to understand historical growth trends and deviations. Use this tool to gain deeper insights into market dynamics and enhance your trading strategy.
Wave Consolidation [LuxAlgo]The Wave Consolidation indicator uses market profiles to highlight consolidation zones based on upward and downward moves determined when a Higher-High or Lower-Low is created.
Users can control the amount of consolidation zones to display and the sensitivity of the swing point detection used to return those zones.
🔶 USAGE
These zones are intended as areas of interest to traders where price has seen historical interactions, which can be interpreted as support and resistance. By identifying these areas of interest before the price returns to them, traders are able to anticipate and prepare for various scenarios and respond dynamically to the behavior of the market, as seen below.
Rejection: A quick move away from the zone may indicate that the area is either overvalued or undervalued, leading to a fast movement in the opposite direction.
Breakthrough: Moving beyond a zone could indicate acceptance at that specific price, potentially signaling a shift in momentum or the start of a new trend. In a strong major trend, zones created from smaller trends could be used as price targets for taking profit and managing risk.
Consolidation: Holding these zones might suggest a market in balance at these levels, this could lead to opportunities for range-bound trading.
Below is an example of the Rejection and Consolidation scenarios described above.
Note: By analyzing the tests and retests of these zones, traders can also gain further insight into where participants are interacting in the market.
🔶 DETAILS
The full process for acquiring and managing these zones is described in the sub-sections below.
🔹 Creation
By only considering market movements creating a higher-high or lower-low, we can identify meaningful, directional, moves which can then be used to calculate zones.
Once a move is identified, the script calculates a volume profile spanning the length of the given move.
The width of the zones is determined starting from the POC of the profile and expanding outwards until the value of the profile's row falls below the profile's average.
Note: By increasing the "Multiplier" Input, Users can increase the threshold the script uses to determine zone width in multiples of Standard Deviations above the Average.
While this area is similar to a VP Value Area, it is not intended to replicate a value zone. The calculation is not concerned with capturing any % of the total profile's volume within the zone and only analyzes based on a fixed inclusion threshold.
🔹 Management
To keep clutter to a minimum, If a new zone overlaps a recently created zone, the zones are grouped as one. This is especially helpful in areas where prices are ranging, creating multiple zones in a very similar area.
Zones before management:
Zones after management:
🔹 Deletion
Just because a zone is crossed, does not make it immediately unimportant!
Once a Zone is mitigated (crossed in the opposite direction of its bias) it is reduced to a single dotted line representing the outer threshold for the zone. These lines are important to watch, as the price will often retest a break. For this reason, they will stay on the chart until the next swing point is detected when they will finally be deleted for good.
Below is an example of activity around a broken zone before it is deleted.
Below is the same example 2bBars later , once the new swing is confirmed, the dotted lines are deleted and new zones are created.
Notice how the newly formed resistance zone is in the same area where we noticed sellers previously.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Structure
Display Structure: Determines if swing structures are displayed.
Structure Length: Sets Length for structure identification.
🔹 Zones
Volume-Based Calculations: Opt to use a "Volume" based Profile Calculation instead of the default "Price Action" based Calculation.
Display Count: Sets the specific number of bullish and bearish zones to display on the chart.
Multiplier: Sets the multiplier to use for the value cut-off for determining zone boundaries.
🔹 Style
Display Average Lines: Toggles on/off the average (mid) lines for the zones.
ICT KillZones Hunt [TradingFinder] 4 Sessions + OB + FVG + Alert🔵 Introduction
🟣 ICT
The "ICT" style is a subset of "Price Action" technical analysis. The primary goal of the ICT trading strategy is to merge "Price Action" with the "Smart Money" concept to pinpoint optimal trade entry points.
However, this approach's strength extends beyond merely finding entry points. It also helps traders gain a deeper understanding of price behavior and adapt their trading strategies to the market structure.
The most important concepts of "ICT" :
Order Block
Fair Value Gap(FVG)
Liquidity
🟣 Session
Financial markets are divided into several time periods, each featuring distinct characteristics and levels of activity. These periods, known as sessions, are active at different times during the day.
The primary active sessions in financial markets include :
Asian Session
European Session
New York Session
Based on the UTC time zone, the schedule for these key sessions is :
Asian Session: 23:00 to 06:00
European Session: 07:00 to 16:30
New York Session: 13:00 to 22:00
Note
To avoid session overlap and minimize interference during kill zones, the session times have been modified as follows :
Asian Session: 23:00 to 06:00
European Session: 07:00 to 14:25
New York Session: 14:30 to 22:55
🟣 KillZone
Kill zones are periods within a session where trader activity spikes. During these times, trading volume surges, and price movements become more pronounced.
The major kill zones, according to the UTC time zone, are as follows :
Asian Kill Zone: 23:00 to 03:55
European Kill Zone: 07:00 to 09:55
New York Morning Kill Zone: 14:30 to 16:55
New York Evening Kill Zone: 19:30 to 20:55
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Order Block
Order blocks are a distinct category of "Supply and Demand" zones, formed when a series of orders are grouped together. These blocks are often created by banks or other significant market participants.
Banks typically execute large orders in blocks during their trading sessions. If they were to enter the market with small quantities, substantial price movements would occur before the orders were fully executed, reducing potential profit.
To mitigate this, they divide their orders into smaller, more manageable positions. Traders should seek "buy" opportunities in "demand order blocks" and "sell" opportunities in "supply order blocks."
🟣 Fair Value Gap (FVG)
To pinpoint the "Fair Value Gap" on the chart, meticulous candle-by-candle analysis is essential. Pay close attention to candles with significant bodies, examining each candle alongside the one preceding it.
The candles flanking this central candle should exhibit elongated shadows, with bodies that do not intersect the body of the central candle. The span between the shadows of the first and third candles is referred to as the FVG range.
Note :
The origin of all Order Blocks and FVGs starts from inside a kill zone and extends up to the end of the same session.
🟣 Kill Zone Hunt
Following this strategy, after the conclusion of the kill zone and the stabilization of its high and low lines, if the price touches either of these lines within the same session and encounters a robust rejection, it presents an opportunity to enter a trade.

AI Momentum [YinYang]Overview:
AI Momentum is a kernel function based momentum Indicator. It uses Rational Quadratics to help smooth out the Moving Averages, this may give them a more accurate result. This Indicator has 2 main uses, first it displays ‘Zones’ that help you visualize the potential movement areas and when the price is out of bounds (Overvalued or Undervalued). Secondly it creates signals that display the momentum of the current trend.
The Zones are composed of the Highest Highs and Lowest lows turned into a Rational Quadratic over varying lengths. These create our Rational High and Low zones. There is however a second zone. The second zone is composed of the avg of the Inner High and Inner Low zones (yellow line) and the Rational Quadratic of the current Close. This helps to create a second zone that is within the High and Low bounds that may represent momentum changes within these zones. When the Rationalized Close crosses above the High and Low Zone Average it may signify a bullish momentum change and vice versa when it crosses below.
There are 3 different signals created to display momentum:
Bullish and Bearish Momentum. These signals display when there is current bullish or bearish momentum happening within the trend. When the momentum changes there will likely be a lull where there are neither Bullish or Bearish momentum signals. These signals may be useful to help visualize when the momentum has started and stopped for both the bulls and the bears. Bullish Momentum is calculated by checking if the Rational Quadratic Close > Rational Quadratic of the Highest OHLC4 smoothed over a VWMA. The Bearish Momentum is calculated by checking the opposite.
Overly Bullish and Bearish Momentum. These signals occur when the bar has Bullish or Bearish Momentum and also has an Rationalized RSI greater or less than a certain level. Bullish is >= 57 and Bearish is <= 43. There is also the option to ‘Factor Volume’ into these signals. This means, the Overly Bullish and Bearish Signals will only occur when the Rationalized Volume > VWMA Rationalized Volume as well as the previously mentioned factors above. This can be useful for removing ‘clutter’ as volume may dictate when these momentum changes will occur, but it can also remove some of the useful signals and you may miss the swing too if the volume just was low. Overly Bullish and Bearish Momentum may dictate when a momentum change will occur. Remember, they are OVERLY Bullish and Bearish, meaning there is a chance a correction may occur around these signals.
Bull and Bear Crosses. These signals occur when the Rationalized Close crosses the Gaussian Close that is 2 bars back. These signals may show when there is a strong change in momentum, but be careful as more often than not they’re predicting that the momentum may change in the opposite direction.
Tutorial:
As we can see in the example above, generally what happens is we get the regular Bullish or Bearish momentum, followed by the Rationalized Close crossing the Zone average and finally the Overly Bullish or Bearish signals. This is normally the order of operations but isn’t always how it happens as sometimes momentum changes don’t make it that far; also the Rationalized Close and Zone Average don’t follow any of the same math as the Signals which can result in differing appearances. The Bull and Bear Crosses are also quite sporadic in appearance and don’t generally follow any sort of order of operations. However, they may occur as a Predictor between Bullish and Bearish momentum, signifying the beginning of the momentum change.
The Bull and Bear crosses may be a Predictor of momentum change. They generally happen when there is no Bullish or Bearish momentum happening; and this helps to add strength to their prediction. When they occur during momentum (orange circle) there is a less likely chance that it will happen, and may instead signify the exact opposite; it may help predict a large spike in momentum in the direction of the Bullish or Bearish momentum. In the case of the orange circle, there is currently Bearish Momentum and therefore the Bull Cross may help predict a large momentum movement is about to occur in favor of the Bears.
We have disabled signals here to properly display and talk about the zones. As you can see, Rationalizing the Highest Highs and Lowest Lows over 2 different lengths creates inner and outer bounds that help to predict where parabolic movement and momentum may move to. Our Inner and Outer zones are great for seeing potential Support and Resistance locations.
The secondary zone, which can cross over and change from Green to Red is also a very important zone. Let's zoom in and talk about it specifically.
The Middle Zone Crosses may help deduce where parabolic movement and strong momentum changes may occur. Generally what may happen is when the cross occurs, you will see parabolic movement to the High / Low zones. This may be the Inner zone but can sometimes be the outer zone too. The hard part is sometimes it can be a Fakeout, like displayed with the Blue Circle. The Cross doesn’t mean it may move to the opposing side, sometimes it may just be predicting Parabolic movement in a general sense.
When we turn the Momentum Signals back on, we can see where the Fakeout occurred that it not only almost hit the Inner Low Zone but it also exhibited 2 Overly Bearish Signals. Remember, Overly bearish signals mean a momentum change in favor of the Bulls may occur soon and overly Bullish signals mean a momentum change in favor of the Bears may occur soon.
You may be wondering, well what does “may occur soon” mean and how do we tell?
The purpose of the momentum signals is not only to let you know when Momentum has occurred and when it is still prevalent. It also matters A LOT when it has STOPPED!
In this example above, we look at when the Overly Bullish and Bearish Momentum has STOPPED. As you can see, when the Overly Bullish or Bearish Momentum stopped may be a strong predictor of potential momentum change in the opposing direction.
We will conclude our Tutorial here, hopefully this Indicator has been helpful for showing you where momentum is occurring and help predict how far it may move. We have been dabbling with and are planning on releasing a Strategy based on this Indicator shortly.
Settings:
1. Momentum:
Show Signals: Sometimes it can be difficult to visualize the zones with signals enabled.
Factor Volume: Factor Volume only applies to Overly Bullish and Bearish Signals. It's when the Volume is > VWMA Volume over the Smoothing Length.
Zone Inside Length: The Zone Inside is the Inner zone of the High and Low. This is the length used to create it.
Zone Outside Length: The Zone Outside is the Outer zone of the High and Low. This is the length used to create it.
Smoothing length: Smoothing length is the length used to smooth out our Bullish and Bearish signals, along with our Overly Bullish and Overly Bearish Signals.

Lookback Window: The number of bars used for the estimation. This is a sliding value that represents the most recent historical bars. Recommended range: 3-50.
Relative Weighting: Relative weighting of time frames. As this value approaches zero, the longer time frames will exert more influence on the estimation. As this value approaches infinity, the behavior of the Rational Quadratic Kernel will become identical to the Gaussian kernel. Recommended range: 0.25-25.
Start Regression at Bar: Bar index on which to start regression. The first bars of a chart are often highly volatile, and omission of these initial bars often leads to a better overall fit. Recommended range: 5-25.

YinYang Bar ForecastOverview:
YinYang Bar Forecast is a prediction indicator. It predicts the movement for High, Low, Open and Close for up to 13 bars into the future. We created this Indicator as we felt the TradingView community could benefit from a bar forecast as there wasn’t any currently available.
Our YinYang Bar Forecast is something we plan on continuously working on to better improve it, but at its current state it is still very useful and decently accurate. It features many calculations to derive what it thinks the future bars will hold. Let’s discuss some of the logic behind it:
Each bar has its High, Low, Open and Close calculated individually for highest accuracy. Within these calculations we first check which bar it is we are calculating and base our span back length that we are getting our data from based on the bar index we are generating. This helps us get a Moving Average for this bar index.
We take this MA and we apply our Custom Volume Filter calculation on it, which is essentially us dividing the current bars volume over the average volume in the last ‘Filtered Length’ (Setting) length. We take this decimal and multiply it on our MA and smooth it out with a VWMA.
We take the new Volume Filtered MA and apply a RSI Filter calculation on it. RSI Filter is where we take the difference between the high and low of this bar and we multiply it with an RSI calculation using our Volume Filtered MA. We take the result of that multiplication and either add or subtract it from the Volume Filtered MA based on if close > open. This makes our RSI Filtered MA.
Next, we do an EMA Strength Calculation which is where we check if close > ema(close, ‘EMA Averaged Length’) (Setting). Based on this condition we assign a multiplier that is applied to our RSI Filtered MA. We divide by how many bars we are predicting and add a bit to each predictive bar so that the further we go into the future the stronger the strength is.
Next we check RSI and RSI MA levels and apply multiplications based on its RSI levels and if it is greater than or less than the MA. Also it is affected by if the RSI is <= 30 and >= 70.
Finally we check the MFI and MFI MA levels and like RSI we apply multiplications based on its MFI levels and if it is greater than or less than the MA. It is also affected by if the MFI is <= 30 and >= 70.
Please note the way we calculate this may change in the future, this is just currently what we deemed works best for forecasting the future bars. Also note this script uses MA calculations out of scope for efficiency but there is potential for inconsistencies.
Innately it’s main use is the projection it provides. It only draws the bars for realtime bars and not historical ones, so the best way to backtest it is with TradingView’s Replay Tool.
Well, enough of the logic behind it, let's get to understanding how to use it:
Tutorial:
So unfortunately we aren’t able to plot legit bars/candles into the future so we’ve had to do a bit of a work around using lines and fills. As you can see here we have 4 Lines and 3 Zones:
Lines:
Green: Represents the High
Orange: Represents the Open
Teal: Represents the Close
Red: Represents the Low
Zones:
High Zone: This zone is from either Open or Close to the High and is ALWAYS filled with Green.
Open/Close Zone: This zone is from the Open to the Close and is filled with either Green or Red based on if it's greater than the previous bar (real or forecasted).
Low Zone: This zone is from either Open or Close to the Low and is ALWAYS filled with Red.
As you can see generally the Forecasted bars are generally within strong pivot locations and are a good estimation of what will likely go on. Please note, the WHOLE structure of the prediction can change based on the current bars movements and the way it affects the calculations.
Let's look 1 bar back from the current bar just so we can see what it used to Forecast:
As you can see it has changed quite a bit from the previous bar, but if you look close, we drew horizontal lines around where its projecting the next bar to be (our current realtime bar), if we go back to the live chart:
Its projections were pretty close for the high and low. Generally, right now at least, it does a much better job at predicting the high and low than it does the open and close, however we will do our best to fine tune that in future updates.
Remember, this indicator is not meant to base your trades on, but rather give you a Forecast towards the general direction of the next few bars. Somewhat like weather, the farther the bar (or day for weather), the harder it is to predict. For this reason we recommend you focusing on the first few bars as they are more accurate, but review the further ones as they may help show the trend and the way that pair will move.
We will conclude this tutorial here, hopefully this Predictive Indicator can be of some help and use to you. If you have any questions, comments, ideas or concerns please let us know.

On Balance Volume [BrightSideTrading]
# On Balance Volume - Complete User Guide
## Overview
This enhanced OBV indicator provides clean, actionable volume analysis with intelligent signal filtering. It combines On-Balance Volume (OBV) with a smoothed signal line to identify shifts in buying and selling pressure without chart clutter.
**Key Features:**
- Real-time OBV and signal line visualization
- Smart crossover detection with confirmation filtering
- Z-Score momentum analysis
- Customizable signal alerts with V-shaped markers
- Window-normalized option for detrended analysis
---
## What is On-Balance Volume (OBV)?
OBV is a volume-based momentum indicator that accumulates volume on up days and subtracts volume on down days. It answers a fundamental question: **Is volume flowing in (buying) or out (selling)?**
**Formula:**
- If Close > Previous Close: OBV = Previous OBV + Volume
- If Close < Previous Close: OBV = Previous OBV - Volume
- If Close = Previous Close: OBV = Previous OBV (unchanged)
**What it tells you:**
- **Rising OBV** = Accumulation (smart money buying)
- **Falling OBV** = Distribution (smart money selling)
- **OBV above zero line** = Net positive buying pressure
- **OBV below zero line** = Net negative selling pressure
---
## Interface & Settings
### **MAIN VISUALIZATION**
**OBV Line (Green/Red Ribbon)**
- Green when OBV is above the signal line (bullish trend)
- Red when OBV is below the signal line (bearish trend)
- Toggles between window-normalized (detrended) and raw values
**Signal Line (Orange)**
- Smoothed average of OBV
- Crossovers with OBV generate buy/sell signals
- Default: 21-period SMA
**V-Shaped Markers**
- Green upward V = Bullish crossover (buy signal)
- Red downward V = Bearish crossover (sell signal)
- Appears at the OBV value when signal is triggered
**Zero Line (Yellow)**
- Center equilibrium point for volume balance
- Acts as support/resistance for OBV
- Separates buying pressure (above) from selling pressure (below)
---
### **SOURCE GROUP**
**Source**
- **Default:** Close
- **Options:** Open, High, Low, or any custom value
- Controls which price value triggers OBV direction changes
- Most traders use Close for standard OBV calculation
---
### **SIGNAL SMOOTHING GROUP**
**Show Signal?**
- **Default:** ON
- Toggle visibility of the signal line
- Disable if you prefer to see raw OBV only
**Smoothing Type**
- **SMA (Simple Moving Average)** - Default, standard smoothing
- **EMA (Exponential Moving Average)** - Faster response, weights recent bars more heavily
- **Choose SMA** for consistent, traditional OBV signals
- **Choose EMA** for faster trend identification (more whipsaws possible)
**Smoothing Length**
- **Default:** 21 bars
- **Range:** 1-200 bars
- **Lower values** (5-14): Faster signals, more noise
- **Higher values** (30-50): Slower signals, fewer false alarms
- **Recommendation:** Use 21-25 for most timeframes
---
### **SIGNAL FILTERING GROUP**
This is your primary control for signal quality and frequency.
**Show Signal Markers?**
- **Default:** ON
- Toggle the V-shaped buy/sell markers on/off
- Disable if markers distract from your analysis
**Signal Filter Type**
- **None** - Shows every single crossover (noisy, best for skilled traders)
- **Confirmation Bars** - Waits N bars before confirming signal (recommended)
- **Strength-Based** - Only signals during strong momentum (filters weakest moves)
#### **CONFIRMATION BARS MODE** (Recommended)
Best for reducing false signals while staying responsive to real moves.
**Confirmation Bars**
- **Default:** 2 bars
- **Range:** 1-10 bars
- Waits for the signal to hold for N consecutive bars after crossover
- **Setting 1:** Every crossover (same as "None")
- **Setting 2:** Wait 1 bar confirmation (good balance)
- **Setting 3:** Wait 2 bars confirmation (filters 50% of noise)
- **Setting 4+:** Very selective, misses quick reversals
**How it works:**
1. OBV crosses signal line → Confirmation counter starts
2. If OBV stays on correct side for 2 bars → V-marker appears
3. If OBV crosses back → Counter resets, no signal
#### **STRENGTH-BASED MODE**
Only signals when momentum is statistically significant.
**Min Z-Score Strength**
- **Default:** 0.3
- **Range:** 0.0-3.0
- Requires OBV deviation from its mean to reach this threshold
- **Setting 0.1-0.3:** More signals, lower quality
- **Setting 0.5-0.8:** Moderate signals, good quality
- **Setting 1.0+:** Only the strongest momentum shifts
**How it works:**
- Calculates how far OBV is from its 50-bar average (Z-score)
- Only shows signals when this distance is meaningful
- Automatically avoids weak, choppy market conditions
---
### **VISUALS & COLORS GROUP**
**Highlight Crossovers?**
- **Default:** ON
- Master toggle for all signal markers
- Turn OFF to see only the OBV/signal lines
**Apply Ribbon Filling?**
- **Default:** ON
- Colors the space between OBV and signal line
- Green fill = OBV above signal (bullish)
- Red fill = OBV below signal (bearish)
- Provides clear visual trend confirmation
- Turn OFF for minimal chart clutter
---
### **STATS & ZONES GROUP**
**Use Window-Normalized OBV (visual only)?**
- **Default:** ON
- Removes long-term trend from OBV for clearer short-term signals
- Detrends the indicator to highlight recent momentum changes
- **ON:** Better for swing trading and identifying reversals
- **OFF:** Better for trend-following strategies
- Note: Z-Score always uses raw OBV for statistical accuracy
**OBV Normalize Window**
- **Default:** 200 bars
- Lookback period for detrending calculation
- Larger values = more aggressive detrending
- Adjust if you want OBV to oscillate more/less around zero
**Show Z-Score (OBV)?**
- **Default:** ON
- Displays statistical momentum indicator below main chart
- Ranges from -3 to +3 (most data within -2 to +2)
- High Z-Score = Strong buying momentum
- Low Z-Score = Strong selling momentum
**Z-Score Lookback**
- **Default:** 50 bars
- Period for calculating Z-Score mean and standard deviation
- Larger = smoother Z-Score, slower response
- Smaller = noisier Z-Score, faster response
**Show ROC (OBV Momentum)?**
- **Default:** OFF
- Rate of Change indicator for OBV velocity
- Useful for identifying momentum turning points
- Enable if you want to see speed of volume changes
**ROC Lookback**
- **Default:** 14 bars
- Period for ROC calculation
**Show Z-Score StdDev Zones?**
- **Default:** ON
- Shaded regions around zero line showing statistical boundaries
- Inner Zone (±1 Z) = Normal variation
- Outer Zone (±2 Z) = Extreme moves, potential reversals
- Helps identify overbought/oversold volume conditions
**Inner Zone (±Z)**
- **Default:** 1.0
- First boundary for standard deviation zones
- Most normal trading occurs within ±1
**Outer Zone (±Z)**
- **Default:** 2.0
- Second boundary for extreme conditions
- Crossing these zones indicates significant momentum shift

## Trading Strategy Examples
### **Strategy 1: Signal Line Crossovers (Beginner)**
**Setup:**
- Signal Filter Type: **Confirmation Bars**
- Confirmation Bars: **2-3**
- Show Signal Markers: **ON**
**Rules:**
1. **BUY signal** (green V): When OBV crosses above signal line and holds for 2-3 bars
- Confirms buying pressure is building
- Look for price to follow within 1-3 bars
2. **SELL signal** (red V): When OBV crosses below signal line and holds for 2-3 bars
- Confirms selling pressure is increasing
- Expect price decline
3. **Exit:** Take profits at next signal or use price support/resistance
**Best For:** Swing trading, intraday reversals, timeframes 5m-1h
---
### **Strategy 2: Zero Line Bounce (Intermediate)**
**Setup:**
- Signal Filter Type: **Strength-Based**
- Min Z-Score Strength: **0.5**
- Show Z-Score StdDev Zones: **ON**
**Rules:**
1. **Watch OBV approach zero line** during established trends
- OBV bouncing repeatedly off zero = trend is healthy
- OBV breaking through zero = trend reversal imminent
2. **Enter on bounce:** Buy when OBV bounces from zero line in uptrend
3. **Exit on break:** Close position when OBV breaks below zero line
4. **Confirm with Z-Score:** Only take trades when Z-Score shows momentum (|Z| > 0.5)
**Best For:** Trend traders, identifying trend strength, medium timeframes 15m-4h
---
### **Strategy 3: Momentum Extremes (Advanced)**
**Setup:**
- Signal Filter Type: **None**
- Show Z-Score StdDev Zones: **ON**
- Outer Zone: **2.0**
**Rules:**
1. **Identify extremes:** When Z-Score breaks outer zone (±2.0)
- Indicator is in extreme territory
- Likely overextended
2. **Fade extremes:** Take opposite position when Z-Score hits extreme
- High Z (>2.0) = OBV overbought, expect pullback
- Low Z (<-2.0) = OBV oversold, expect bounce
3. **Confirm:** Wait for crossover signal to enter
4. **Target:** Outer zone of opposite side or zero line
**Best For:** Range trading, mean reversion, experienced traders only

## Common Questions & Troubleshooting
**Q: Why are there more sell signals than buy signals?**
A: This reflects the actual market action. Markets often decline faster than they rise (fear > greed). Confirm signals with price action and support/resistance.
**Q: The indicator keeps whipsawing, should I hide it?**
A: Increase Confirmation Bars to 3-4 or switch to Strength-Based filter. Market conditions matter—choppy markets require stricter filters.
**Q: What's the difference between normalized and raw OBV?**
A: Normalized (detrended) shows shorter-term momentum by removing long-term trends. Raw OBV shows absolute accumulation/distribution over the full period. Use normalized for swing signals, raw for trend confirmation.
**Q: My signals come too late. How do I get faster entry?**
A: Reduce Smoothing Length (try 14 instead of 21), use EMA instead of SMA, or set Confirmation Bars to 1. Trade-off: More false signals.
**Q: Can I use this for day trading?**
A: Yes, on 1m-5m charts with aggressive settings. Use Confirmation Bars: 1 and focus on Z-Score > 0.5 entries only.
**Q: Should I trade every signal?**
A: No. Filter signals using: price near support/resistance, multiple indicators confirming, and Z-Score showing momentum. Best signals occur at key levels.

## Best Practices
1. **Always confirm with price action:** OBV signals work best when price is near support, resistance, or moving average. Don't trade signals in a vacuum.
2. **Use volume context:** Check if volume is increasing or decreasing on the signal. Strong signals have volume confirmation (increasing volume on OBV spikes).
3. **Adjust settings per timeframe:**
- 1m-5m: Smoothing 12, Confirmation 1, Z-Score 0.2
- 15m-1h: Smoothing 20, Confirmation 2, Z-Score 0.3
- 4h-1d: Smoothing 25, Confirmation 3, Z-Score 0.5
4. **Watch the zero line:** It's your friend. OBV behavior at the zero line reveals trend strength. Bounces = healthy trend. Breaks = reversal.
5. **Risk management:** No indicator is perfect. Use proper position sizing and stop losses. OBV should confirm your thesis, not be the only reason to trade.
6. **Combine with other indicators:**
- Price moving averages for trend confirmation
- RSI or Stochastic for overbought/oversold levels
- Support/resistance for entry/exit zones
- MACD for momentum divergences

Dynamic Support and Resistance ### Indicator: Dynamic Support and Resistance
#### Overview:
The *Dynamic Support and Resistance* indicator is a powerful tool designed to help traders identify key price levels on a chart. It dynamically calculates support and resistance levels based on pivot points and the Average True Range (ATR). The indicator also highlights broken support and resistance zones, providing visual cues for potential trend reversals or continuations.
---
### Key Features:
1. *Dynamic Support and Resistance Levels*:
- The indicator identifies support and resistance levels using pivot highs and lows within a user-defined range.
- These levels are adjusted using the ATR to account for market volatility, making them more responsive to changing market conditions.
2. *Support and Resistance Zones*:
- The indicator draws boxes around the support and resistance levels, with customizable colors and widths.
- The width of the zones is determined by the ATR and a user-defined multiplier, allowing traders to adjust the sensitivity of the zones.
3. *Broken Zones*:
- When price breaks through a support or resistance zone, the zone is highlighted with a distinct color to indicate a potential shift in market sentiment.
- Traders can limit the number of broken zones displayed on the chart to avoid clutter.
4. *Customizable Inputs*:
- *Range Candle Count*: Defines the number of candles analyzed to determine pivot points. Increasing this value will result in fewer but more significant levels, while decreasing it will produce more levels that are sensitive to shorter-term price movements.
- *ATR Period*: Controls the sensitivity of the ATR calculation. A shorter period makes the ATR more responsive to recent price changes, while a longer period smooths it out.
- *Box Width Multiplier*: Adjusts the width of the support and resistance zones. A higher multiplier creates wider zones, which may be useful in more volatile markets.
- *Max Broken Zones*: Limits the number of broken zones displayed on the chart. This helps keep the chart clean and focused on the most recent breaks.
---
### How It Works:
1. *Pivot Points*:
- The indicator identifies pivot highs and lows within the specified range. These pivots serve as the basis for calculating support and resistance levels.
2. *ATR Adjustment*:
- The ATR is used to adjust the support and resistance levels, making them more dynamic and responsive to market volatility.
3. *Zone Creation*:
- Support and resistance zones are drawn as boxes around the pivot levels. The width of these zones is determined by the ATR and the box width multiplier.
4. *Zone Breaks*:
- When price breaks through a zone, the zone is highlighted with a distinct color, and the broken zone is added to an array. If the number of broken zones exceeds the user-defined limit, the oldest broken zone is removed from the chart.
---
### How to Use:
1. *Trend Identification*:
- Use the support and resistance levels to identify key price levels where the market may reverse or consolidate.
- Broken zones can signal potential trend reversals or continuations.
2. *Entry and Exit Points*:
- Traders can use the support and resistance zones as potential entry or exit points. For example, buying near support or selling near resistance.
- Broken zones can be used as confirmation for breakout strategies.
3. *Risk Management*:
- The width of the zones can help traders set stop-loss levels. For example, placing a stop-loss just outside a support or resistance zone.
4. *Customization*:
- Adjust the input parameters to suit your trading style and the specific market conditions. For example, increase the range candle count for longer-term analysis or decrease it for shorter-term trading.
---
### Who Should Use This Indicator?
- *Swing Traders*: Can use the indicator to identify key levels for potential reversals or breakouts.
- *Day Traders*: Can benefit from the dynamic levels and zones, especially in volatile markets.
- *Position Traders*: Can use the indicator to identify long-term support and resistance levels.
- *Breakout Traders*: Can use the broken zones to confirm breakouts and plan their trades accordingly.
---
### Input Parameters and Their Effects:
1. *Range Candle Count*:
- *Increase*: Produces fewer but more significant levels, suitable for longer-term analysis.
- *Decrease*: Produces more levels, sensitive to shorter-term price movements.
2. *ATR Period*:
- *Increase*: Smoothens the ATR, making the levels less sensitive to recent price changes.
- *Decrease*: Makes the ATR more responsive to recent price changes, resulting in more dynamic levels.
3. *Box Width Multiplier*:
- *Increase*: Creates wider zones, suitable for more volatile markets.
- *Decrease*: Creates narrower zones, suitable for less volatile markets.
4. *Max Broken Zones*:
- *Increase*: Displays more broken zones on the chart, providing more historical context.
- *Decrease*: Keeps the chart clean by displaying only the most recent broken zones.

FVG LevelsFVG Levels Indicator Description
The FVG Levels indicator dynamically identifies and displays key price zones that may represent fair value gaps and order block areas, helping traders to visually pinpoint potential support and resistance levels directly on the chart.
Key Features
Order Block Identification:
The indicator detects bullish and bearish order blocks by analyzing specific candle patterns. For bullish zones, it checks if a candle two bars ago was bullish (close greater than open) coupled with a subsequent gap condition. Similarly, bearish zones are identified when bearish candle conditions are met with an appropriate gap.
Dynamic Zone Calculation:
It computes critical levels such as the highest highs, lowest lows, highest lows, and lowest highs over a series of recent bars. These levels define the boundaries of potential buy and sell zones and adjust dynamically as new price data comes in.
Visual Representation:
Buy zones are plotted in lime and sell zones in yellow, with the indicator filling the areas between the high and low lines to create clear, shaded bands. This visual aid helps in quickly recognizing zones of potential price reaction.
Chart Overlay:
Designed to work as an overlay, the indicator integrates directly onto your price chart, allowing for seamless correlation between price action and identified zones.
How It Works
Bullish Zones:
When a bullish candle (with the candle's close above its open) is detected along with a significant gap, the indicator marks the upper and lower boundaries of the bullish order block. It further refines these levels by tracking the lowest low and highest high over recent bars to enhance the zone's definition.
Bearish Zones:
In a similar manner, the indicator calculates bearish order blocks by confirming bearish candle conditions and corresponding gap criteria. It then updates the bearish zone levels and computes the highest high and lowest low to establish clear sell zone boundaries.
Usage
Traders can use the FVG Levels indicator to:
Identify potential entry and exit points by observing where price may reverse or consolidate.
Recognize fair value gaps or imbalances that often act as magnet points for price action.
Enhance risk management by using the dynamically calculated zones to set stop-losses or take-profits.
SMC StrategyThis Pine Script strategy is based on Smart Money Concepts (SMC), designed for TradingView. Here's a brief summary of what the script does:
1. Swing High and Low Calculation: It identifies recent swing highs and lows, which are used to define key zones.
2. Equilibrium, Premium, and Discount Zones:
- Equilibrium is the midpoint between the swing high and low.
- Premium Zone is above the equilibrium, indicating a potential resistance area (sell zone).
- Discount Zone is below the equilibrium, indicating a potential support area (buy zone).
3. Simple Moving Average (SMA): It uses a 50-period SMA to determine the trend direction. If the price is above the SMA, the trend is bullish; if it's below, the trend is bearish.
4. Buy and Sell Signals:
- Buy Signal: Generated when the price is in the discount zone and above the equilibrium, with the price also above the SMA.
- Sell Signal: Triggered when the price is in the premium zone and below the equilibrium, with the price also below the SMA.
5. Order Blocks: It detects basic order blocks by identifying the highest high and lowest low within the last 20 bars. These levels help confirm the buy and sell signals.
6. Liquidity Zones: It marks the swing high and low as potential liquidity zones, indicating where price may reverse due to institutional players' activity.
The strategy then executes trades based on these signals, plotting buy and sell markers on the chart and showing the key levels (zones) and trend direction.
Immediate Rebalance ICT [TradingFinder] No Imbalances - MTF Gaps🔵 Introduction
The concept of "Immediate Rebalance" in technical analysis is a powerful and advanced strategy within the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) framework, widely used to identify key market levels.
Unlike the "Fair Value Gap," which leaves a price gap requiring a retracement for a fill, an Immediate Rebalance fills the gap immediately, representing an instant balance that strengthens the prevailing market trend. This structure allows traders to quickly spot critical price zones, capitalizing on strong trend continuations without the need for price retracement.
The "Immediate Rebalance ICT" indicator leverages this concept, providing traders with automated identification of critical supply and demand zones, order blocks, liquidity voids, and key buy-side and sell-side liquidity levels.
Through features like crucial liquidity points and immediate rebalancing areas, this tool enables traders to perform precise real-time market analysis and seize profitable opportunities.
🔵 How to Use
The Immediate Rebalance indicator assists traders in identifying reliable trading signals by detecting and analyzing Immediate Rebalance zones. By focusing on supply and demand areas, the indicator pinpoints optimal entry and exit positions.
Here’s how to use the indicator in both bearish (Supply Immediate Rebalance) and bullish (Demand Immediate Rebalance) structures :
🟣 Bullish Structure (Demand Immediate Rebalance)
In a bullish scenario, the indicator detects a Demand Immediate Rebalance formed by two consecutive bullish candles with overlapping wicks. This structure signifies an immediate demand zone, where price instantly balances within the zone, reducing the likelihood of a revisit and indicating potential upside momentum.
Zone Identification : Look for two consecutive bullish candles with overlapping wicks, forming a demand zone. This structure, due to its rapid balance, usually does not require a revisit and supports further upward movement.
Entry and Exit Levels : If price revisits this zone, percentage markers, particularly 50% and 75%, act as supportive levels, creating ideal entry points for long positions.
Example : In the second image, an example of a Demand Immediate Rebalance is shown, where overlapping bullish candle shadows indicate immediate balance, supporting the continuation of the bullish trend.
🟣 Bearish Structure (Supply Immediate Rebalance)
In a bearish setup, the indicator identifies a Supply Immediate Rebalance when two consecutive bearish candles with overlapping wicks appear. This formation signals an immediate supply zone, suggesting a high probability of trend continuation to the downside, with minimal expectation for price to retrace back to this area.
Zone Identificatio n: Look for two consecutive bearish candles with overlapping shadows. This structure forms a supply area where price is expected to continue its downtrend without revisiting the zone.
Entry and Exit Level s: Should price revisit this zone, percentage-based levels (e.g., 50% and 75%) serve as potential resistance points, optimizing entry for short positions, especially if the downtrend is expected to persist.
Example : The attached chart illustrates a Supply Immediate Rebalance, where overlapping candle shadows define this area, reassuring traders of a continued downward trend with a low likelihood of price returning to this zone.
🔵 Settings
ImmR Filter : This filter allows users to adjust the detection of Immediate Rebalance zones in four modes, from "Very Aggressive" to "Very Defensive," based on zone width. The chosen mode controls the sensitivity of Immediate Rebalance detection, allowing users to fine-tune the indicator to their trading style.
Multi Time Frame : Enabling this option allows users to set the indicator to a specific timeframe (1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, daily, weekly, or monthly), broadening the perspective for identifying Immediate Rebalance zones across multiple timeframes.
🔵 Conclusion
The Immediate Rebalance indicator, based on rapid balancing zones within supply and demand areas, serves as a powerful tool for market analysis and improving trade decision-making.
By accurately identifying zones where price achieves instant balance without gaps, the indicator highlights areas likely to support strong trend continuations, exempt from common retracements.
The indicator’s use of percentage levels enables traders to pinpoint optimal entry and exit points more effectively, with levels like 50% and 75% acting as support within demand zones and resistance within supply zones. This empowers traders to ride strong trends without the worry of abrupt reversals.
Overall, the Immediate Rebalance is a reliable tool for both professional and beginner traders seeking precise methods to recognize supply and demand zones, capitalizing on consistent trends.
By choosing appropriate settings and focusing on the zones highlighted by this indicator, traders can enter trades with greater confidence and improve their risk management.
RSI Multi Levels kiawosch [TradingFinder] 7-14-42 Consolidation🔵 Introduction
The Relative Strength Index or RSI is a tool used to measure the speed and intensity of price movement, oscillating between zero and one hundred. It is commonly applied to identify strength or weakness in market momentum across different time intervals. Despite its simple formula and wide usage, the behavior of RSI within specific ranges often provides more precise information than traditional overbought and oversold levels.
The Multi RSI layout displays three RSI values with periods 7, 14 and 42. The seven period RSI plays the primary role in short term analysis. When this value enters predefined ranges, it shows highly consistent and interpretable behavior that can signal trend continuation, corrections or the start of a range structure. The other two values, RSI 14 and RSI 42, help reveal higher timeframe momentum and provide context for the depth and quality of price movement.
Three potential zones are defined, each representing a behavioral range. The position zones forms the basis for signal interpretation :
High Potential : 78 to 85 & 22 to 15
Mid Potential : 70 to 78 & 30 to 22
Low Potential : 58 to 62 & 42 to 38
These zones highlight areas where RSI reacts in specific ways to price movement. Entering the High Potential range usually aligns with new highs or lows in price and often precedes continuation after a correction. In contrast, reactions inside the Mid Potential range frequently appear during clean ranges or channel structures. This approach focuses on momentum quality and structural behavior rather than classic overbought and oversold thresholds.
In summary, the logic behind the signals follows three principles :
Trend continuation, When RSI 7 enters the High Potential zone and price prints a new high or low, continuation after a correction becomes the most likely outcome.
Reversal or slowdown, When RSI exits the High Potential zone while price is reaching a previous high or low, the probability of a short term reversal increases.
Range behavior, In clean ranges or channel structures, RSI 7 typically reacts inside the Mid Potential zone and produces consistent swing responses.
🔵 How to Use
This method is based on observing the repeating behavior of RSI within momentum zones and identifying moments when price continues after a shallow correction or, conversely, when signs of slowing and reversal appear. RSI 7 plays the main role since it gives the most sensitive response to short term price changes. Its entry into or exit from a potential zone, combined with the position of price relative to recent highs and lows, forms the core of the signal logic. RSI 14 and RSI 42 provide higher timeframe confirmation and help evaluate the broader strength or weakness behind each movement.
🟣 Trend continuation after entering the High Potential zone
When RSI 7 reaches the High Potential zone while price forms a new high or low, the probability of continuation becomes very high. The typical sequence includes a short correction in price and a retreat of RSI toward the Mid Potential zone. As long as price structure remains intact and RSI turns upward again, continuation becomes the most likely scenario. As shown in the charts, price often expands strongly after this type of correction and breaks the previous high.
🟣 Reversal or slowdown after exiting the High Potential zone
If RSI 7 enters the High Potential zone but then exits while price is interacting with a previous high or low, conditions for a short term reversal appear. This behavior is clear in the charts, where price hits a supply or demand area and RSI can no longer return to the upper zone. The drop in RSI reflects weakening momentum and, when accompanied by a confirming candle, increases the chance of a reversal or at least a temporary pause.
🟣 Strong reversal after hitting the Mid Potential zone during deeper corrections
Sometimes price enters a deeper corrective phase and RSI 7 moves into or through the Mid Potential zone. When this occurs near a previous low, it can mark the start of a significant reversal. The charts show this pattern clearly, where RSI turns upward while price reacts to support. If the other RSI values show relative alignment, the probability of a strong rebound increases. This signal is often seen after fast declines and can mark the beginning of a recovery wave.
🟣 Range structure and repetitive reactions inside the Mid Potential zone
When price enters a clean range or channel, the behavior of RSI 7 changes completely. In such conditions, RSI repeatedly reacts inside the Mid Potential zone. Each time price touches the upper or lower boundary of the range, RSI approaches the upper or lower part of this zone as well. The result is a sequence of predictable swing reactions, perfectly suitable for mean reversion strategies. Breakouts in these environments also tend to show higher failure rates.
🟣 Sharp reactions and fast reversals at extreme levels (RSI near 90 or below 10)
Although this approach is not based on classic overbought and oversold logic, extremely high or low RSI readings such as ninety often produce strong immediate reactions in price. These conditions usually occur after sudden spikes or emotional breakouts. As visible in the charts, RSI collapses quickly after reaching such extremes and price often reverses sharply. While not a core signal, these moments add meaningful context to momentum interpretation.
🔵 Settings
RSI Setting : This section allows enabling or disabling the three RSI values, adjusting their calculation length and customizing their colors. It is designed to help separate short, medium and longer term momentum visually on the chart.
Zones Setting : This section controls the display of momentum zones and the color applied to each area. Adjusting these colors or toggling them on and off helps the trader visually track the intensity and structure of momentum.
Levels Setting : This section allows editing the numeric boundaries of the levels or showing and hiding each one individually. These levels form the visual framework for interpreting RSI behavior within the defined momentum zones.
🔵 Conclusion
Examining RSI behavior across different momentum zones shows that entering these ranges creates relatively consistent patterns in price movement. Reaching the High Potential zone often corresponds to later stages of a trend, where price has the strength to continue after a brief correction and structure remains intact. In contrast, reactions within the Mid Potential zone occur more frequently when the market transitions into a range or a limited movement phase, where repetitive oscillations dominate.
Overall, observing RSI inside these zones helps distinguish between trending movement, corrective phases and range conditions with greater clarity. Entry or exit from each zone provides insight into the underlying strength or weakness of momentum and reveals where the market is positioned within its movement cycle. This perspective, based on momentum regions rather than traditional values alone, offers a more refined understanding of price behavior and highlights the likely direction of the next move.
Volume Flow Anatomy [Kodexius]Volume Flow Anatomy is a dynamic, multi-dimensional volume map that reconstructs how buy, sell, and “stealth” activity is distributed across price rather than just across time. Instead of relying on a static, session-based volume profile, it uses an exponentially decaying memory of recent bars to build a constantly evolving “anatomy” of the auction, where each price level carries an adaptive history of order flow.
The script separates buy vs. sell pressure, adds a third “Stealth Flow” dimension for low-volume price movement (ease of movement / divergence), and automatically derives POC, Value Area, imbalances, absorption zones, and classic profile shapes (D, P, b, B). This gives the trader a compact but highly information-dense map on the right side of the chart to read control (buyers vs. sellers), structure (balanced vs. trending vs. double distribution), and key reaction levels (support/resistance born from flow, not just wicks).
🔹 Features
🔸 Dynamic Lookback with Decay
- The script computes an effective lookback N from the Decay Factor and caps it with Max Lookback.
- Higher decay keeps more history; lower decay emphasizes the most recent flow.
- The profile continuously adapts as new bars are printed.
🔸 Price-Bucketed Flow Map
Each bucket accumulates:
- Sell Flow (sell pressure)
- Buy Flow (buy pressure)
- Stealth Flow (low-volume price movement)
- Box width at each bucket is proportional to the relative intensity of that component.
🔸 Stealth Flow (Low-Volume Price Movement)
- Measures close to close movement relative to volume, emphasizing price movement that occurs on comparatively low volume.
- Helps reveal hidden participation, inefficient moves, and areas that may be vulnerable to re-tests or reversions.
🔸 POC & 70% Value Area (VA)
- Identifies the Point of Control (price bucket with the highest total volume) over the effective lookback.
- Builds a 70% Value Area by expanding from POC towards the nearest high volume neighbors until 70% of the total volume is included.
- POC is drawn as a line over the analyzed range; VA is displayed as a shaded band in the profile area.
🔸 Market Profile Shape Detection
Splits the profile vertically into three zones (bottom / middle / top) and compares their volume distribution.
Classifies structure as:
- D-Shape (Balanced)
- P-Shape (Short Covering)
- b-Shape (Long Liquidation)
- B-Shape (Double Distribution)
Displays a shape label with color coded bias for quick auction context interpretation.
🔸 Imbalance Zones & Absorption
Imbalance: detects buckets where Buy Flow or Sell Flow exceeds the opposite side by at least Imbalance Ratio.
Absorption: flags zones with high volume but low price “ease”, where price is not moving much despite significant volume.
Extends these levels into horizontal zones, marking potential support/resistance and trap areas.

🔹 Calculations
1. Dynamic Lookback & Price Buckets
int N = math.min(int(4 / (1 - decayFactor) - 1), maxHistory)
float priceHigh = ta.highest(high, N)
float priceLow = ta.lowest(low, N)
float bucketSize = (priceHigh - priceLow) / bucketCount
The effective lookback N is derived from the Decay Factor, using the approximation 4 / (1 - decay) to capture roughly 99% of the decayed influence, then capped with maxHistory to control performance. Over that adaptive range, the script finds the highest and lowest prices and divides the band into bucketCount equal slices (bucketSize). Each slice is a price bucket that will accumulate volume-flow information.
2. Exponentially Decayed Volume Allocation
addValue(array profile, float weight, float minPrice, float maxPrice) =>
for j = 0 to bucketCount - 1
float bucketMin = priceLow + j * bucketSize
float bucketMax = bucketMin + bucketSize
float overlapMin = math.max(minPrice, bucketMin)
float overlapMax = math.min(maxPrice, bucketMax)
float overlapRange = overlapMax - overlapMin
if overlapRange > 0
profile.set(j, profile.get(j) * decayFactor + weight * overlapRange)
This function is the core engine of the indicator. For a given price span and intensity, it checks every bucket for overlap, distributes the weight proportionally to the overlapping range, and before adding new value, decays the existing bucket content by decayFactor. This results in an exponentially weighted profile: recent activity dominates, while older levels retain a gradually fading footprint.
3. POC and 70% Value Area
array totalProfile = array.new(bucketCount, 0)
for j = 0 to bucketCount - 1
float total = sellProfile.get(j) + buyProfile.get(j)
totalProfile.set(j, total)
if total > eaMax
eaMax := total
int pocIdx = 0
float pocVal = 0.0
for j = 0 to bucketCount - 1
if totalProfile.get(j) > pocVal
pocVal := totalProfile.get(j)
pocIdx := j
float totalSum = totalProfile.sum()
float targetSum = totalSum * 0.70
int vaLow = pocIdx
int vaHigh = pocIdx
float currentSum = pocVal
while currentSum < targetSum and (vaLow > 0 or vaHigh < bucketCount - 1)
float lowVal = vaLow > 0 ? totalProfile.get(vaLow - 1) : 0.0
float highVal = vaHigh < bucketCount - 1 ? totalProfile.get(vaHigh + 1) : 0.0
First, totalProfile is built as the sum of buy and sell flow per bucket, and eaMax (the maximum total) is tracked for later normalization. The POC bucket (pocIdx) is simply the index with the highest totalProfile value.
To compute the 70% Value Area, the algorithm starts at the POC bucket and expands outward, each step adding either the upper or lower neighbor depending on which has more volume. This continues until the cumulative volume reaches 70% of totalSum. The result is a volume-driven VA, not necessarily symmetric around POC, which more accurately represents where the market has truly traded.
4. Market Profile Shape Classification
float volTopThird = 0.0
float volMidThird = 0.0
float volBotThird = 0.0
int thirdIdx = int(bucketCount / 3)
for j = 0 to bucketCount - 1
float val = totalProfile.get(j)
if j < thirdIdx
volBotThird += val
else if j < thirdIdx * 2
volMidThird += val
else
volTopThird += val
float totalVolShape = totalProfile.sum()
string shapeStr = "D-Shape (Balanced)"
if (volTopThird > totalVolShape * 0.20) and (volBotThird > totalVolShape * 0.20) and (volMidThird < totalVolShape * 0.50)
shapeStr := "B-Shape (Double Dist)"
else
if pocIdx > bucketCount * 0.5 and volTopThird > volBotThird * 1.3
shapeStr := "P-Shape (Short Covering)"
else if pocIdx < bucketCount * 0.5 and volBotThird > volTopThird * 1.3
shapeStr := "b-Shape (Long Liquidation)"
else
shapeStr := "D-Shape (Balanced)"
The profile is split into bottom, middle, and top thirds. The script compares how much volume is concentrated in each and combines that with the relative location of POC. If both extremes are heavy and the middle light, it labels a B-Shape (double distribution). If the POC is high and the top dominates the bottom, it’s a P-Shape (short covering). If the POC is low and the bottom dominates, it’s a b-Shape (long liquidation). Otherwise, it defaults to a D-Shape (balanced). This provides a quick, at-a-glance assessment of auction structure.
5. Imbalances, Absorption & Zones
bool isBuyImb = showImb and sVal > 0 and (bVal / sVal >= imbRatio)
bool isSellImb = showImb and bVal > 0 and (sVal / bVal >= imbRatio)
float volRatio = eaMax > 0 ? tVal / eaMax : 0
float stRatio = esmRange > 0 ? (stVal - esmMin) / esmRange : 1.0
bool isAbsorp = showAbsorp and volRatio > 0.6 and stRatio < 0.25
if showImbZone
if isSellImb
zoneBoxes.push(box.new(bar_index - N + 1, bucketHi, bar_index + 1, bucketLo, ...))
if isBuyImb
zoneBoxes.push(box.new(bar_index - N + 1, bucketHi, bar_index + 1, bucketLo, ...))
if isAbsorp
zoneBoxes.push(box.new(bar_index - N + 1, bucketHi, bar_index + 1, bucketLo, ...))
Imbalances are identified where one side’s volume (buy or sell) exceeds the other by at least Imbalance Ratio. These buckets are marked as buy or sell imbalance zones, indicating aggressive participation from one side.
Absorption is detected by combining a high volume ratio (volRatio) with a low normalized stealth ratio (stRatio). High volume with limited price movement suggests that opposing orders are absorbing flow at that level. Both imbalance and absorption buckets are extended into horizontal zones from the start of the lookback to the current bar, visually emphasizing key support/resistance and liquidity areas.
6. Building Buy, Sell & Stealth Profiles
sellProfile := array.new(bucketCount, 0)
buyProfile := array.new(bucketCount, 0)
stealthProfile := array.new(bucketCount, 0)
Three arrays are used to store Sell Flow, Buy Flow, and Stealth Flow. Bars are processed from oldest to newest so that decay is applied in correct chronological order. For each bar, a volume density (volume / range) is calculated and distributed across the candle range. Bull candles feed buyProfile, bear candles feed sellProfile.
Stealth Flow computes the close-to-close move between consecutive bars, scaled by 1 / (1 + volume). Big moves on low volume produce high stealth values, which are then allocated across the move’s price span into stealthProfile. This yields a three-layer profile per price level: directional volume and stealthy price movement.
