Multi Length Market Structure (BoS + ChoCh)█ OVERVIEW
The "Multi Length Market Structure (BoS + ChoCh)" indicator is a technical analysis tool that identifies key pivot points on the chart and signals market structure breaks (Break of Structure - BoS) and changes in market character (Change of Character - ChoCh). It is designed for traders employing market structure-based strategies, enabling the identification of critical support and resistance levels and potential trend reversal points. The indicator offers flexible pivot length settings, customizable colors, and labels, ensuring clarity and precision on the chart.
█ CONCEPTS
The indicator was developed to simplify the identification of changes in market structure, catering to both short-term and longer-term trading strategies. To this end, it simultaneously displays breakouts for four editable pivot lengths. The lengths represent the delay, measured in the number of candles, after which a pivot is recognized. Pivots with larger values are often turning points on higher timeframes, providing a broader view of the market.
Why are BoS and ChoCh important? A Break of Structure (BoS) indicates trend continuation when the price breaks a key level (e.g., a previous high or low). A Change of Character (ChoCh) signals a potential trend reversal when the price breaks a level in the opposite direction of the prior trend. These signals help traders identify moments when the market changes its dynamics, which is crucial for price action strategies.
█ FEATURES
- Pivot Detection: Identifies pivot points (highs and lows) based on four different pivot lengths (default: 5, 10, 15, 20), enabling market structure analysis with varying sensitivity.
- BoS and ChoCh Signals: Generates Break of Structure (BoS) signals in the form of triangles (green for bullish, red for bearish) and Change of Character (ChoCh) signals when the price breaks a key level in the opposite direction of the prior trend.
- Pivot Labels: Displays labels for highs (HH - Higher High, LH - Lower High) and lows (HL - Higher Low, LL - Lower Low) with the option to select which pivot to display them for.
- Customizable Colors and Styles: Allows configuration of colors for BoS and ChoCh signals and pivot labels.
- Alerts: Built-in alerts for BoS and ChoCh signals for each pivot length, including price and signal type descriptions.
█ HOW TO USE
Adding to the Chart: Add the indicator to your TradingView chart via the Pine Editor or Indicators menu.
Configuring Settings:
- Pivot Lengths: Set four different pivot lengths (Pivot Length 1-4, default: 5, 10, 15, 20) to adjust the sensitivity of pivot detection. Shorter lengths are more sensitive, while longer lengths are more significant. If you want to use only one length, set all pivot lengths to the same value.
- Colors and Styles: Configure colors for BoS signals (green for bullish, red for bearish) and pivot labels.
- Labels: Enable/disable the display of HH/HL/LH/LL labels and choose which pivot to display them for (Pivot 1-4 or none).
- Signals: BoS and ChoCh signals are displayed as triangles (upward for bullish BoS, downward for bearish). Alerts can be configured for each signal type.
Interpreting Signals:
- Bullish BoS Signal: A green triangle below the candle indicates a breakout above a previous high, suggesting bullish trend continuation.
- Bearish BoS Signal: A red triangle above the candle indicates a breakout below a previous low, suggesting bearish trend continuation.
- Bullish ChoCh Signal: A green triangle after breaking a high in a downtrend indicates a potential reversal to bullish.
- Bearish ChoCh Signal: A red triangle after breaking a low in an uptrend indicates a potential reversal to bearish.
- Pivot Levels: Use pivot points as dynamic support and resistance levels. Levels from longer pivots carry greater significance.
Combine signals with other technical analysis tools, such as RSI (to identify overbought/oversold conditions) or MACD (to confirm momentum). Analyze market structure on higher timeframes for stronger signals. Be particularly cautious when entering positions if RSI approaches overbought/oversold zones and divergences appear, as this may indicate a trend change.
█ APPLICATIONS
- Breakout Strategies: Trade based on BoS signals indicating trend continuation. A BoS signal after breaking a high in an uptrend may suggest a strong bullish impulse, especially when supported by a rising MACD.
- Reversal Strategies: ChoCh signals may indicate a potential trend reversal, particularly when confirmed by other indicators, such as RSI divergences or Fibonacci levels.

Quantum Flux Universal Strategy Summary in one paragraph
Quantum Flux Universal is a regime switching strategy for stocks, ETFs, index futures, major FX pairs, and liquid crypto on intraday and swing timeframes. It helps you act only when the normalized core signal and its guide agree on direction. It is original because the engine fuses three adaptive drivers into the smoothing gains itself. Directional intensity is measured with binary entropy, path efficiency shapes trend quality, and a volatility squash preserves contrast. Add it to a clean chart, watch the polarity lane and background, and trade from positive or negative alignment. For conservative workflows use on bar close in the alert settings when you add alerts in a later version.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Large cap equities and ETFs. Index futures. Major FX pairs. Liquid crypto
• Timeframes. One minute to daily
• Default demo used in the publication. QQQ on one hour
• Purpose. Provide a robust and portable way to detect when momentum and confirmation align, while dampening chop and preserving turns
• Limits. This is a strategy. Orders are simulated on standard candles only
Originality and usefulness
• Unique concept or fusion. The novelty sits in the gain map. Instead of gating separate indicators, the model mixes three drivers into the adaptive gains that power two one pole filters. Directional entropy measures how one sided recent movement has been. Kaufman style path efficiency scores how direct the path has been. A volatility squash stabilizes step size. The drivers are blended into the gains with visible inputs for strength, windows, and clamps.
• What failure mode it addresses. False starts in chop and whipsaw after fast spikes. Efficiency and the squash reduce over reaction in noise.
• Testability. Every component has an input. You can lengthen or shorten each window and change the normalization mode. The polarity plot and background provide a direct readout of state.
• Portable yardstick. The core is normalized with three options. Z score, percent rank mapped to a symmetric range, and MAD based Z score. Clamp bounds define the effective unit so context transfers across symbols.
Method overview in plain language
The strategy computes two smoothed tracks from the chart price source. The fast track and the slow track use gains that are not fixed. Each gain is modulated by three drivers. A driver for directional intensity, a driver for path efficiency, and a driver for volatility. The difference between the fast and the slow tracks forms the raw flux. A small phase assist reduces lag by subtracting a portion of the delayed value. The flux is then normalized. A guide line is an EMA of a small lead on the flux. When the flux and its guide are both above zero, the polarity is positive. When both are below zero, the polarity is negative. Polarity changes create the trade direction.
Base measures
• Return basis. The step is the change in the chosen price source. Its absolute value feeds the volatility estimate. Mean absolute step over the window gives a stable scale.
• Efficiency basis. The ratio of net move to the sum of absolute step over the window gives a value between zero and one. High values mean trend quality. Low values mean chop.
• Intensity basis. The fraction of up moves over the window plugs into binary entropy. Intensity is one minus entropy, which maps to zero in uncertainty and one in very one sided moves.
Components
• Directional Intensity. Measures how one sided recent bars have been. Smoothed with RMA. More intensity increases the gain and makes the fast and slow tracks react sooner.
• Path Efficiency. Measures the straightness of the price path. A gamma input shapes the curve so you can make trend quality count more or less. Higher efficiency lifts the gain in clean trends.
• Volatility Squash. Normalizes the absolute step with Z score then pushes it through an arctangent squash. This caps the effect of spikes so they do not dominate the response.
• Normalizer. Three modes. Z score for familiar units, percent rank for a robust monotone map to a symmetric range, and MAD based Z for outlier resistance.
• Guide Line. EMA of the flux with a small lead term that counteracts lag without heavy overshoot.
Fusion rule
• Weighted sum of the three drivers with fixed weights visible in the code comments. Intensity has fifty percent weight. Efficiency thirty percent. Volatility twenty percent.
• The blend power input scales the driver mix. Zero means fixed spans. One means full driver control.
• Minimum and maximum gain clamps bound the adaptive gain. This protects stability in quiet or violent regimes.
Signal rule
• Long suggestion appears when flux and guide are both above zero. That sets polarity to plus one.
• Short suggestion appears when flux and guide are both below zero. That sets polarity to minus one.
• When polarity flips from plus to minus, the strategy closes any long and enters a short.
• When flux crosses above the guide, the strategy closes any short.
What you will see on the chart
• White polarity plot around the zero line
• A dotted reference line at zero named Zen
• Green background tint for positive polarity and red background tint for negative polarity
• Strategy long and short markers placed by the TradingView engine at entry and at close conditions
• No table in this version to keep the visual clean and portable
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Price source. Default ohlc4. Stable for noisy symbols.
• Fast span. Typical range 6 to 24. Raising it slows the fast track and can reduce churn. Lowering it makes entries more reactive.
• Slow span. Typical range 20 to 60. Raising it lengthens the baseline horizon. Lowering it brings the slow track closer to price.
Logic
• Guide span. Typical range 4 to 12. A small guide smooths without eating turns.
• Blend power. Typical range 0.25 to 0.85. Raising it lets the drivers modulate gains more. Lowering it pushes behavior toward fixed EMA style smoothing.
• Vol window. Typical range 20 to 80. Larger values calm the volatility driver. Smaller values adapt faster in intraday work.
• Efficiency window. Typical range 10 to 60. Larger values focus on smoother trends. Smaller values react faster but accept more noise.
• Efficiency gamma. Typical range 0.8 to 2.0. Above one increases contrast between clean trends and chop. Below one flattens the curve.
• Min alpha multiplier. Typical range 0.30 to 0.80. Lower values increase smoothing when the mix is weak.
• Max alpha multiplier. Typical range 1.2 to 3.0. Higher values shorten smoothing when the mix is strong.
• Normalization window. Typical range 100 to 300. Larger values reduce drift in the baseline.
• Normalization mode. Z score, percent rank, or MAD Z. Use MAD Z for outlier heavy symbols.
• Clamp level. Typical range 2.0 to 4.0. Lower clamps reduce the influence of extreme runs.
Filters
• Efficiency filter is implicit in the gain map. Raising efficiency gamma and the efficiency window increases the preference for clean trends.
• Micro versus macro relation is handled by the fast and slow spans. Increase separation for swing, reduce for scalping.
• Location filter is not included in v1.0. If you need distance gates from a reference such as VWAP or a moving mean, add them before publication of a new version.
Alerts
• This version does not include alertcondition lines to keep the core minimal. If you prefer alerts, add names Long Polarity Up, Short Polarity Down, Exit Short on Flux Cross Up in a later version and select on bar close for conservative workflows.

ORBs, EMAs, AVWAPThis Pine Script (version 6) is a multi-session trading indicator that combines Opening Range Breakouts (ORBs), Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), and an Anchored VWAP (AVWAP) system — all in one overlay script for TradingView.
Here’s a clear breakdown of its structure and functionality:
🕒 1. Session Logic and ORB Calculation
Purpose: Identify and plot the high and low of the first 30 minutes (default) for the Tokyo, London, and New York trading sessions.
Session Anchors (NY time):
Tokyo → 20:00
London → 03:00
New York → 09:30
(All configurable in inputs.)
ORB Duration: Default is 30 minutes (orbDurationMin), also user-configurable.
Resets:
London and NY ORBs reset at the start of each new New York trading day (17:00 NY time).
Tokyo ORB resets independently using a stored timestamp.
Process:
For each session:
While the time is within the ORB window, the script captures the session’s high and low.
Once the window closes, those levels remain plotted until reset.
Plot Colors:
Tokyo → Yellow (#fecc02)
London → Gray (#8c9a9c)
New York → Magenta (#ff00c8)
These form visible horizontal lines marking the prior session ranges — useful for breakout or retest trading setups.
📈 2. EMA System
Purpose: Provide trend and dynamic support/resistance guidance.
It calculates and plots four EMAs:
EMA Period Color Purpose
EMA 9 Short-term Green Fast signal
EMA 20 Short-term Red Confirms direction
EMA 113 Medium Aqua Trend filter
EMA 200 Long-term Orange Macro trend baseline
Each EMA is plotted directly on the price chart for visual confluence with ORB and VWAP levels.
⚖️ 3. Anchored VWAP (AVWAP)
Purpose: Display a volume-weighted average price anchored to specific timeframes or events, optionally with dynamic deviation or percentage bands.
Features:
Anchor Options:
Time-based: Session, Week, Month, Quarter, Year, Decade, Century
Event-based: Earnings, Dividends, Splits
VWAP resets when the chosen anchor condition is met (e.g., new month, new earnings event, etc.).
Bands:
Up to three levels of symmetric upper/lower bands.
Choose between Standard Deviation or Percentage-based widths.
Display Toggles:
Each band’s visibility is optional.
VWAP can be hidden on 1D+ timeframes (hideonDWM option).
Color Scheme:
VWAP: Fuchsia (magenta-pink) line
Bands: Green / Olive / Teal with light-filled zones
⚙️ 4. Technical Highlights
Uses ta.vwap() with built-in band calculations.
Handles instruments with or without volume (errors if missing volume).
Uses time-zone aware timestamps (timestamp(NY_TZ, …)).
Uses timeframe.change() to detect new anchors for the VWAP.
Employs persistent variables (var) to maintain session state across bars.
💡 In Practice
This indicator is designed for multi-session intraday traders who:
Trade Tokyo, London, or NY open breakouts or retests.
Use EMA stacking and crossovers for trend confirmation.
Use Anchored VWAP as a fair-value or mean-reversion reference.
Need clear visual structure across different market sessions.
It provides strong session separation, trend context, and volume-weighted price reference — making it ideal for discretionary or semi-systematic trading strategies focused on liquidity zones and session momentum.
Chart Fusion Line SND Detection by TitikSona🧭 Overview
Fusion Line Momentum Analyzer is a momentum visualization tool that introduces a unified model of oscillator fusion.
It blends Fast and Slow Stochastics with RSI into one adaptive curve, designed to eliminate conflicting signals between different momentum sources.
Instead of reading three separate oscillators, the Fusion Line provides a consolidated view of strength and exhaustion zones in a single framework.
This approach helps analysts detect aligned momentum shifts with greater clarity and less noise, without repainting or lagging methods.
⚙️ Core Concept
Traditional oscillators often provide conflicting readings when volatility changes.
To solve this, the Fusion Line averages three normalized components:
Fast Stochastic (12,3,3) — reacts quickly to short-term momentum spikes.
Slow Stochastic (100,8,8) — filters long-term momentum context.
RSI (26) — measures internal strength between buying and selling pressure.
Each is rescaled to a 0–100 range, then averaged into a single curve called the Fusion Line.
A secondary Signal Line (SMA 9) is added to visualize directional confirmation.
This combination aims to preserve responsiveness from the fast components while maintaining structural stability from the slow and RSI layers.
🌈 Features
Unified momentum curve combining stochastic and RSI dynamics.
Automatic bias shading to highlight dominant trend direction.
Real-time percentage strength meter (visual intensity).
Configurable alert triggers on key momentum zones (20/80).
Clean chart display without unnecessary elements or overlays.
📘 Interpretation
Rising Fusion Line → indicates strengthening bullish momentum.
Falling Fusion Line → indicates strengthening bearish pressure.
Fusion values below 20 → potential oversold recovery.
Fusion values above 80 → possible exhaustion or reversal zone.
Mid-zone movement → reflects equilibrium or sideways momentum.
These readings should always be combined with higher timeframe structure or volume confirmation for context.
⚙️ Default Parameters
Fast Stochastic (12,3,3)
Slow Stochastic (100,8,8)
RSI Length (26)
Signal Line Smoothing (9)
All values can be adjusted to adapt to asset volatility or timeframe conditions.
⚠️ Disclaimer
This indicator is a research and visualization tool, not a signal generator.
It does not predict price movement or guarantee performance.
Use for analytical purposes only and combine with your own trading framework.

Forecast PriceTime Oracle [CHE] Forecast PriceTime Oracle — Prioritizes quality over quantity by using Power Pivots via RSI %B metric to forecast future pivot highs/lows in price and time
Summary
This indicator identifies potential pivot highs and lows based on out-of-bounds conditions in a modified RSI %B metric, then projects future occurrences by estimating time intervals and price changes from historical medians. It provides visual forecasts via diagonal and horizontal lines, tracks achievement with color changes and symbols, and displays a dashboard for statistical overview including hit rates. Signals are robust due to median-based aggregation, which reduces outlier influence, and optional tolerance settings for near-misses, making it suitable for anticipating reversals in ranging or trending markets.
Motivation: Why this design?
Standard pivot detection often lags or generates false signals in volatile conditions, missing the timing of true extrema. This design leverages out-of-bounds excursions in RSI %B to capture "Power Pivots" early—focusing on quality over quantity by prioritizing significant extrema rather than every minor swing—then uses historical deltas in time and price to forecast the next ones, addressing the need for proactive rather than reactive analysis. It assumes that pivot spacing follows statistical patterns, allowing users to prepare entries or exits ahead of confirmation.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Reference baseline: Diverges from traditional ta.pivothigh/low, which require fixed left/right lengths and confirm only after bars close, often too late for dynamic markets.
- Architecture differences:
- Detects extrema during OOB runs rather than post-bar symmetry.
- Aggregates deltas via medians (or alternatives) over a user-defined history, capping arrays to manage resources.
- Applies tolerance thresholds for hit detection, with options for percentage, absolute, or volatility-adjusted (ATR) flexibility.
- Freezes achieved forecasts with visual states to avoid clutter.
- Practical effect: Charts show proactive dashed projections instead of retrospective dots; the dashboard reveals evolving hit rates, helping users gauge reliability over time without manual calculation.
How it works (technical)
The indicator first computes a smoothed RSI over a specified length, then applies Bollinger Bands to derive %B, flagging out-of-bounds below zero or above one hundred as potential run starts. During these runs, it tracks the extreme high or low price and bar index. Upon exit from the OOB state, it confirms the Power Pivot at that extreme and records the time delta (bars since prior) and price change percentage to rolling arrays.
For forecasts, it calculates the median (or selected statistic) of recent deltas, subtracts the confirmation delay (bars from apex to exit), and projects ahead by that adjusted amount. Price targets use the median change applied to the origin pivot value. Lines are drawn from the apex to the target bar and price, with a short horizontal at the endpoint. Arrays store up to five active forecasts, pruning oldest on overflow.
Tolerance adjusts hit checks: for highs, if the high reaches or exceeds the target (adjusted by tolerance); for lows, if the low drops to or below. Once hit, the forecast freezes, changing colors and symbols, and extends the horizontal to the hit bar. Persistent variables maintain last pivot states across bars; arrays initialize empty and grow until capped at history length.
Parameter Guide
Source: Specifies the data input for the RSI computation, influencing how price action is captured. Default is close. For conservative signals in noisy environments, switch to high; using low boosts responsiveness but may increase false positives.
RSI Length: Sets the smoothing period for the RSI calculation, with longer values helping to filter out whipsaws. Default is 32. Opt for shorter lengths like 14 to 21 on faster timeframes for quicker reactions, or extend to 50 or more in strong trends to enhance stability at the cost of some lag.
BB Length: Defines the period for the Bollinger Bands applied to %B, directly affecting how often out-of-bounds conditions are triggered. Default is 20. Align it with the RSI length: shorter periods detect more potential runs but risk added noise, while longer ones provide better filtering yet might overlook emerging extrema.
BB StdDev: Controls the multiplier for the standard deviation in the bands, where wider settings reduce false out-of-bounds alerts. Default is 2.0. Narrow it to 1.5 for highly volatile assets to catch more signals, or broaden to 2.5 or higher to emphasize only major movements.
Show Price Forecast: Enables or disables the display of diagonal and target lines along with their updates. Default is true. Turn it off for simpler chart views, or keep it on to aid in trade planning.
History Length: Determines the number of recent pivot samples used for median-based statistics, where more history leads to smoother but potentially less current estimates. Default is 50. Start with a minimum of 5 to build data; limit to 100 to 200 to prevent outdated regimes from skewing results.
Max Lookahead: Limits the number of bars projected forward to avoid overly extended lines. Default is 500. Reduce to 100 to 200 for intraday focus, or increase for longer swing horizons.
Stat Method: Selects the aggregation technique for time and price deltas: Median for robustness against outliers, Trimmed Mean (20%) for a balanced trim of extremes, or 75th Percentile for a conservative upward tilt. Default is Median. Use Median for even distributions; switch to Percentile when emphasizing potential upside in trending conditions.
Tolerance Type: Chooses the approach for flexible hit detection: None for exact matches, Percentage for relative adjustments, Absolute for fixed point offsets, or ATR for scaling with volatility. Default is None. Begin with Percentage at 0.5 percent for currency pairs, or ATR for adapting to cryptocurrency swings.
Tolerance %: Provides the relative buffer when using Percentage mode, forgiving small deviations. Default is 0.5. Set between 0.2 and 1.0 percent; higher values accommodate gaps but can overstate hit counts.
Tolerance Points: Establishes a fixed offset in price units for Absolute mode. Default is 0.0010. Tailor to the asset, such as 0.0001 for forex pairs, and validate against past wick behavior.
ATR Length: Specifies the period for the Average True Range in dynamic tolerance calculations. Default is 14. This is the standard setting; shorten to 10 to reflect more recent volatility.
ATR Multiplier: Adjusts the ATR scale for tolerance width in ATR mode. Default is 0.5. Range from 0.3 for tighter precision to 0.8 for greater leniency.
Dashboard Location: Positions the summary table on the chart. Default is Bottom Right. Consider Top Left for better visibility on mobile devices.
Dashboard Size: Controls the text scaling for dashboard readability. Default is Normal. Choose Tiny for dense overlays or Large for detailed review sessions.
Text/Frame Color: Sets the color scheme for dashboard text and borders. Default is gray. Align with your chart theme, opting for lighter shades on dark backgrounds.
Reading & Interpretation
Forecast lines appear as dashed diagonals from confirmed pivots to projected targets, with solid horizontals at endpoints marking price levels. Open targets show a target symbol (🎯); achieved ones switch to a trophy symbol (🏆) in gray, with lines fading to gray. The dashboard summarizes median time/price deltas, sample counts, and hit rates—rising rates indicate improving forecast alignment. Colors differentiate highs (red) from lows (lime); frozen states signal validated projections.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend following: Enter long on low forecast hits during uptrends (higher highs/lower lows structure); filter with EMA crossovers to ignore counter-trend signals.
- Reversal setups: Short above high projections in overextended rallies; use volume spikes as confirmation to reduce false breaks.
- Exits/Stops: Trail stops to prior pivot lows; conservative on low hit rates (below 50%), aggressive above 70% with tight tolerance.
- Multi-TF: Apply on 1H for entries, 4H for time projections; combine with Ichimoku clouds for confluence on targets.
- Risk management: Position size inversely to delta uncertainty (wider history = smaller bets); avoid low-liquidity sessions.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Confirmation occurs on OOB exit, so live-bar pivots may adjust until close, but projections update only on events to minimize repaint. No security or HTF calls, so no external lookahead issues. Arrays cap at history length with shifts; forecasts limited to five active, pruning FIFO. Loops iterate over small fixed sizes (e.g., up to 50 for stats), efficient on most hardware. Max lines/labels at 500 prevent overflow.
Known limits: Sensitive to OOB parameter tuning—too tight misses runs; assumes stationary pivot stats, which may shift in regime changes like low vol. Gaps or holidays distort time deltas.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Defaults suit forex/crypto on 1H–4H: RSI 32/BB 20 for balanced detection, Median stats over 50 samples, None tolerance for exactness.
- Too many false runs: Increase BB StdDev to 2.5 or RSI Length to 50 for filtering.
- Lagging forecasts: Shorten History Length to 20; switch to 75th Percentile for forward bias.
- Missed near-hits: Enable Percentage tolerance at 0.3% to capture wicks without overcounting.
- Cluttered charts: Reduce Max Lookahead to 200; disable dashboard on lower TFs.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a forecasting visualization layer for pivot-based analysis, highlighting statistical projections from historical patterns. It is not a standalone system—pair with price action, volume, and risk rules. Not predictive of all turns; focuses on OOB-derived extrema, ignoring volume or news impacts.

Pump-Smart Shorting StrategyThis strategy is built to keep your portfolio hedged as much as possible while maximizing profitability. Shorts are opened after pumps cool off and on new highs (when safe), and closed quickly during strong upward moves or if stop loss/profit targets are hit. It uses visual overlays to clearly show when hedging is on, off, or blocked due to momentum, ensuring you’re protected in most market conditions but never short against the pump. Fast re-entry keeps the hedge active with minimal downtime.
Pump Detection:
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Calculated over a custom period (default 14 bars). If RSI rises above a threshold (default 70), the strategy considers the market to be in a pump (strong upward momentum).
Volume Spike: The current volume is compared to a 20-bar simple moving average of volume. If it exceeds the average by 1.5× and price increases at least 5% in one bar, pump conditions are triggered.
Price Jump: Measured by (close - close ) / close . A single-bar change > 5% helps confirm rapid momentum.
Pump Zone (No Short): If any of these conditions is true, an orange or red background is shown and shorts are blocked.
Cooldown and Re-Entry:
Cooldown Detection: After the pump ends, RSI must fall below a set value (default ≤ 60), and either volume returns towards average or price momentum is less than half the original spike (oneBarUp <= pctUp/2).
barsWait Parameter: You can specify a waiting period after cooldown before a short is allowed.
Short Entry After Pump/Cooldown: When these cooldown conditions are met, and no short is active, a blue background is shown and a short position is opened at the next signal.
New High Entry:
Lookback New High: If the current high is greater than the highest high in the last N bars (default 20), and pump is NOT active, a short can be opened.
Take Profit (TP) & Stop Loss (SL):
Take Profit: Short is closed if price falls to a threshold below the entry (minProfitPerc, default 2%).
Stop Loss: Short is closed if price rises to a threshold above the entry (stopLossPerc, default 6%).
Preemptive Exit:
Any time a pump is detected while a short position is open, the strategy closes the short immediately to avoid losses.
Visual Feedback:
Orange Background: Market is pumping, do not short.
Red Background: Other conditions block shorts (cooldown or waiting).
Blue Background: Shorts allowed.
Triangles/Circles: Mark entries, pump start/end, for clear trading signals.
HTF Cross Breakout [CHE] HTF Cross Breakout — Detects higher timeframe close crossovers for breakout signals, anchors VWAP for trend validation, and flags continuations or traps with visual extensions for delta percent and stop levels.
Summary
This indicator spots moments when the current chart's close price crosses a higher timeframe close, marking potential breakouts only when the current bar shows directional strength. It anchors a volume-weighted average price line from the breakout point to track trend health, updating labels to show if the move continues or reverses into a trap. Extensions add a dotted line linking the breakout level to the current close with percent change display, plus a stop-loss marker at the VWAP end. Signals gain robustness from higher timeframe confirmation and anti-repainting options, reducing noise in live bars compared to simple crossover tools.
Motivation: Why this design?
Traders often face false breakouts from intrabar wiggles on lower timeframes, especially without higher timeframe alignment, leading to whipsaws in volatile sessions. This design uses higher timeframe close as a stable reference for crossover detection, combined with anchored volume weighting to gauge sustained momentum. It addresses these by enforcing bar confirmation and directional filters, providing clearer entry validation and risk points without overcomplicating the chart.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Reference baseline
Standard crossover indicators like moving average crosses operate solely on the chart timeframe, ignoring higher timeframe context and lacking volume anchoring.
Architecture differences
- Higher timeframe data pulls via security calls with optional repainting control for stability.
- Anchored VWAP resets at each signal, accumulating from the breakout bar only.
- Label dynamics update in real-time for continuation checks, with extensions for visual delta and stop computation.
- Event-driven line finalization prunes old elements after a set bar extension.
Practical effect
Charts show persistent lines and labels that extend live but finalize cleanly on new events, avoiding clutter. This matters for spotting trap reversals early via label color shifts, and extensions provide quick risk visuals without manual calculations, improving decision speed in trend trades.
How it works (technical)
The indicator first determines a higher timeframe based on user selection, pulling its close price securely. It checks for crossovers or crossunders of the current close against this higher close, but only triggers on confirmed bars with matching directional opens and closes. On a valid event, a horizontal line and label mark the higher close level, while a dashed VWAP line starts accumulating typical price times volume from that bar onward. During the active phase, the breakout line extends to the current bar, the label repositions and updates text based on whether the current close holds above or below the level for bulls or bears. A background tint warns if the close deviates adversely from the current VWAP. Extensions draw a vertical dotted line at the last bar between the breakout level and close, placing a midpoint label with percent difference; separately, a label at the VWAP end shows a computed stop price. Persistent variables track the active state and accumulators, resetting on new events after briefly extending old elements. Repaint risk from security calls is mitigated by confirmed bar gating or user opt-in.
Parameter Guide
Plateau Length (reserved for future, currently unused): Sets a length for potential plateau detection in extensions; default 3, minimum 1. Higher values would increase stability but are not active yet—leave at default to avoid tuning.
Line Width: Controls thickness of breakout, VWAP, and extension lines; default 2, range 1 to 5. Thicker lines improve visibility on busy charts but may obscure price action—use 1 for clean views, 3 or more for emphasis.
+Bars after next HTF event (finalize old, then delete): Extends old lines and labels by this many bars before deletion on new signals; default 20, minimum 0. Shorter extensions keep charts tidy but risk cutting visuals prematurely; longer aids review but builds clutter over time.
Evaluate label only on HTF close (prevents gray traps intrabar): When true, label updates wait for higher timeframe confirmation; default true. Enabling reduces intrabar flips for stabler signals, though it may delay feedback—disable for faster live trading at repaint cost.
Allow Repainting: Permits real-time security data without confirmation offset; default false. False ensures historical accuracy but lags live bars; true speeds updates but can repaint on HTF closes.
Timeframe Type: Chooses HTF method—Auto Timeframe (dynamic steps up), Multiplier (chart multiple), or Manual (fixed string); default Auto Timeframe. Auto adapts to chart scale for convenience; Multiplier suits custom scaling like 5 times current; Manual for precise like 1D on any chart.
Multiplier for Alternate Resolution: Scales chart timeframe when Multiplier type selected; default 5, minimum 1. Values near 1 mimic current resolution for subtle shifts; higher like 10 jumps to broader context, increasing signal rarity.
Manual Resolution: Direct timeframe string like 60 for 1H when Manual type; default 60. Match to trading horizon—shorter for swing, longer for positional—to balance frequency and reliability.
Show Extension 1: Toggles dotted line and delta percent label between breakout level and current close; default true. Disable to simplify for basic use, enable for precise momentum tracking.
Dotted Line Width: Thickness for Extension 1 line; default 2, range 1 to 5. Align with main Line Width for consistency.
Text Size: Size for delta percent label; options tiny, small, normal, large; default normal. Smaller reduces overlap on dense charts; larger aids glance reads.
Decimals for Δ%: Precision in percent change display; default 2, range 0 to 6. Fewer decimals speed reading; more suit low-volatility assets.
Positive Δ Color: Hue for upward percent changes; default lime. Choose contrasting for visibility.
Negative Δ Color: Hue for downward percent changes; default red. Pair with positive for quick polarity scan.
Dotted Line Color: Color for Extension 1 line; default gray. Neutral tones blend well; brighter for emphasis.
Background Transparency (0..100): Opacity for delta label background; default 90. Higher values fade for subtlety; lower solidifies for readability.
Show Extension 2: Toggles stop-loss label at VWAP end; default true. Turn off for entry focus only.
Stop Method: Percent from VWAP end or fixed ticks; options Percent, Ticks; default Percent. Percent scales with price levels; Ticks suits tick-based instruments.
Stop %: Distance as fraction of VWAP for Percent method; default 1.0, step 0.05, minimum 0.0. Tighter like 0.5 reduces risk but increases stops; wider like 2.0 allows breathing room.
Stop Ticks: Tick count offset for Ticks method; default 20, minimum 0. Adjust per asset volatility—fewer for tight control.
Price Decimals: Rounding for stop price text; default 4, range 0 to 10. Match syminfo.precision for clean display.
Text Size: Size for stop label; options tiny, small, normal, large; default normal. Scale to chart zoom.
Text Color: Foreground for stop text; default white. Ensure contrast with background.
Inherit VWAP Color (BG tint): Bases stop label background on VWAP hue; default true. True maintains theme; false allows custom black base.
BG Transparency (0..100): Opacity for stop label background; default 0. Zero for no tint; up to 100 for full fade.
Reading & Interpretation
Breakout lines appear green for bullish crosses or red for bearish, extending live until a new event finalizes them briefly then deletes. Labels start blank, updating to Bull Cont. or Bear Cont. in matching colors if holding the level, or gray Bull Trap/Bear Trap on reversal. VWAP dashes yellow for bulls, orange for bears, sloping with accumulated volume weight—deviations trigger faint red background warnings. Extension 1's dotted vertical shows at the last bar, with midpoint label green/red for positive/negative percent from breakout to close. Extension 2 places a left-aligned label at VWAP end with stop price and method note, tinted to VWAP for context.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
For trend following, enter long on green Bull Cont. labels above VWAP with higher highs confirmation, filtering via rising structure; short on red Bear Cont. below. Pair with volume surges or RSI above 50 for bulls to avoid traps. For exits, trail stops using the Extension 2 level, tightening on warnings or gray labels—aggressive on continuations, conservative post-trap. In multi-timeframe setups, use default Auto on 15m charts for 1H signals, scaling multiplier to 4 for daily context on hourly; test on forex/stocks where volume is reliable, avoiding low-liquidity assets.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Signals confirm on bar close with HTF gating when strict mode active, but live bars may update if repainting enabled—opt false for backtest fidelity, true for intraday speed. Security calls risk minor repaints on HTF closes, mitigated by confirmation offsets. Resources cap at 1000 bars back, 50 lines/labels total, with event prunes to stay under budgets—no loops, minimal arrays. Limits include VWAP lag in low-volume periods and dependency on accurate HTF data; gaps or holidays may skew anchors.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Defaults suit 5m-1H charts on liquid assets: Auto HTF, no repaint, 1% stops. For choppy markets with excess signals, enable strict eval and bump multiplier to 10 for rarer triggers. If sluggish in trends, shorten extend bars to 10 and allow repainting for quicker visuals. On high-vol like crypto, widen stop % to 2.0 and use Ticks method; for stables like indices, tighten to 0.5% and keep Percent.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a signal visualization layer for breakout confirmation and basic risk marking, best as a filter in discretionary setups. It isn’t a standalone system or predictive oracle—combine with price structure, news awareness, and sizing rules for real edges.

Squeeze Weekday Frequency [CHE] Squeeze Weekday Frequency — Tracks historical frequency of low-volatility squeezes by weekday to inform timing of low-risk setups.
Summary
This indicator monitors periods of unusually low volatility, defined as when the average true range falls below a percentile threshold, and tallies their occurrences across each weekday. By aggregating these counts over the chart's history, it reveals patterns in squeeze frequency, helping traders avoid or target specific days for reduced noise. The approach uses persistent counters to ensure accurate daily tallies without duplicates, providing a robust view of weekday biases in volatility regimes.
Motivation: Why this design?
Traders often face inconsistent signal quality due to varying volatility patterns tied to the trading calendar, such as quieter mid-week sessions or busier Mondays. This indicator addresses that by binning low-volatility events into weekday buckets, allowing users to spot recurring low-activity days where trends may develop with less whipsaw. It focuses on historical aggregation rather than real-time alerts, emphasizing pattern recognition over prediction.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Reference baseline: Traditional volatility trackers like simple moving averages of range or standalone Bollinger Band squeezes, which ignore temporal distribution.
- Architecture differences:
- Employs array-based persistent counters for each weekday to accumulate events without recounting.
- Includes duplicate prevention via day-key tracking to handle sparse data.
- Features on-demand sorting and conditional display modes for focused insights.
- Practical effect: Charts show a persistent table of ranked weekdays instead of transient plots, making it easier to glance at biases like higher squeezes on Fridays, which reduces the need for manual logging and highlights calendar-driven edges.
How it works (technical)
The indicator first computes the average true range over a specified lookback period to gauge recent volatility. It then ranks this value against its own history within a sliding window to identify squeezes when the rank drops below the threshold. Each bar's timestamp is resolved to a weekday using the selected timezone, and a unique day identifier is generated from the date components.
On detecting a squeeze and valid price data, it checks against a stored last-marked day for that weekday to avoid multiple counts per day. If it's a new occurrence, the corresponding weekday counter in an array increments. Total days and data-valid days are tracked separately for context.
At the chart's last bar, it sums all counters to compute shares, sorts weekdays by their squeeze proportions, and populates a table with the selected subset. The table alternates row colors and highlights the peak weekday. An info label above the final bar summarizes totals and the top day. Background shading applies a faint red to squeeze bars for visual confirmation. State persists via variable arrays initialized once, ensuring counts build incrementally without resets.
Parameter Guide
ATR Length — Sets the lookback for measuring average true range, influencing squeeze sensitivity to short-term swings. Default: 14. Trade-offs/Tips: Shorter values increase responsiveness but raise false positives in chop; longer smooths for stability, potentially missing early squeezes.
Percentile Window (bars) — Defines the history length for ranking the current ATR, balancing recent relevance with sample size. Default: 252. Trade-offs/Tips: Narrower windows adapt faster to regime shifts but amplify noise; wider ones stabilize ranks yet lag in fast markets—aim for 100-500 bars on daily charts.
Squeeze threshold (PR < x) — Determines the cutoff for low-volatility classification; lower values flag rarer, tighter squeezes. Default: 10.0. Trade-offs/Tips: Tighter thresholds (under 5) yield fewer but higher-quality signals, reducing clutter; looser (over 20) captures more events at the cost of relevance.
Timezone — Selects the reference for weekday assignment; exchange default aligns with asset's session. Default: Exchange. Trade-offs/Tips: Use custom for cross-market analysis, but verify alignment to avoid offset errors in global pairs.
Show — Toggles the results table visibility for quick on/off of the display. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Disable in multi-indicator setups to save screen space; re-enable for periodic reviews.
Pos — Positions the table on the chart pane for optimal viewing. Default: Top Right. Trade-offs/Tips: Bottom options suit long-term charts; test placements to avoid overlapping price action.
Font — Adjusts text size in the table for readability at different zooms. Default: normal. Trade-offs/Tips: Smaller fonts fit more data but strain eyes on small screens; larger for presentations.
Dark — Applies a dark color scheme to the table for contrast against chart backgrounds. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Toggle false for light themes; ensures legibility without manual recoloring.
Display — Filters table rows to show all, top three, or bottom three weekdays by squeeze share. Default: All. Trade-offs/Tips: Use "Top 3" for focus on high-frequency days in active trading; "All" for full audits.
Reading & Interpretation
Red-tinted backgrounds mark individual squeeze bars, indicating current low-volatility conditions. The table's summary row shows the highest squeeze count, its percentage of total events, and the associated weekday in teal. Detail rows list selected weekdays with their absolute counts, proportional shares, and a left arrow for the peak day—higher percentages signal days where squeezes cluster, suggesting potential for calmer trend development. The info label reports overall days observed, valid data days, and reiterates the top weekday with its count. Drifting counts toward zero on a weekday imply rarity, while elevated ones point to habitual low-activity sessions.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend following: Scan for squeezes on high-frequency weekdays as entry filters, confirming with higher highs or lower lows in the structure; pair with momentum oscillators to time breaks.
- Exits/Stops: On low-squeeze days, widen stops for breathing room, tightening them during peak squeeze periods to guard against false breaks—use the table's percentages as a regime proxy.
- Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults work across forex and indices on hourly or daily frames; for stocks, adjust percentile window to 100 for shorter histories. Scale thresholds up by 5-10 points for high-vol assets like crypto to maintain signal sparsity.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
- Repaint/confirmation: Counts update only on confirmed bars via day-key changes, with no future references—live bars may shade red tentatively but tallies finalize at session close.
- security()/HTF: Not used, so no higher-timeframe repaint risks; all computations stay in the chart's resolution.
- Resources: Relies on a fixed-size array of seven elements and small loops for sorting and table fills, capped at 5000 bars back—efficient for most charts but may slow on very long intraday histories.
- Known limits: Ignores weekends and holidays implicitly via data presence; early chart bars lack full percentile context, leading to initial undercounting; assumes continuous sessions, so gaps in data (e.g., news halts) skew totals.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with the built-in values for broad-market daily charts: ATR at 14, window at 252, threshold at 10. For noisier environments, lower the threshold to 5 and shorten the window to 100 to prioritize rare squeezes. If too few events appear, raise the threshold to 15 and extend ATR to 20 for broader capture. To combat overcounting in sparse data, widen the window to 500 while keeping others stock—monitor the info label's data-days count before trusting patterns.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This serves as a statistical overlay for spotting calendar-based volatility biases, aiding in session selection and filter design. It is not a standalone signal generator, predictive model, or risk manager—integrate it with price action, volume, and broader strategy rules for decisions.

RSI Bollinger Bands [DCAUT]█ RSI Bollinger Bands
📊 ORIGINALITY & INNOVATION
The RSI Bollinger Bands indicator represents a meaningful advancement in momentum analysis by combining two proven technical tools: the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Bollinger Bands. This combination addresses a significant limitation in traditional RSI analysis - the use of fixed overbought/oversold thresholds (typically 70/30) that fail to adapt to changing market volatility conditions.
Core Innovation:
Rather than relying on static threshold levels, this indicator applies Bollinger Bands statistical analysis directly to RSI values, creating dynamic zones that automatically adjust based on recent momentum volatility. This approach helps reduce false signals during low volatility periods while remaining sensitive to genuine extremes during high volatility conditions.
Key Enhancements Over Traditional RSI:
Dynamic Thresholds: Overbought/oversold zones adapt to market conditions automatically, eliminating the need for manual threshold adjustments across different instruments and timeframes
Volatility Context: Band width provides immediate visual feedback about momentum volatility, helping traders distinguish between stable trends and erratic movements
Reduced False Signals: During ranging markets, narrower bands filter out minor RSI fluctuations that would trigger traditional fixed-threshold signals
Breakout Preparation: Band squeeze patterns (similar to price-based BB) signal potential momentum regime changes before they occur
Self-Referencing Analysis: By measuring RSI against its own statistical behavior rather than arbitrary levels, the indicator provides more relevant context
📐 MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
Two-Stage Calculation Process:
Stage 1: RSI Calculation
RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))
where RS = Average Gain / Average Loss over specified period
The RSI normalizes price momentum into a bounded 0-100 scale, making it ideal for statistical band analysis.
Stage 2: Bollinger Bands on RSI
Basis = MA(RSI, BB Length)
Upper Band = Basis + (StdDev(RSI, BB Length) × Multiplier)
Lower Band = Basis - (StdDev(RSI, BB Length) × Multiplier)
Band Width = Upper Band - Lower Band
The Bollinger Bands measure RSI's standard deviation from its own moving average, creating statistically-derived dynamic zones.
Statistical Interpretation:
Under normal distribution assumptions with default 2.0 multiplier, approximately 95% of RSI values should fall within the bands
Band touches represent statistically significant momentum extremes relative to recent behavior
Band width expansion indicates increasing momentum volatility (strengthening trend or increasing uncertainty)
Band width contraction signals momentum consolidation and potential regime change preparation
📊 COMPREHENSIVE SIGNAL ANALYSIS
Visual Color Signals:
This indicator features dynamic color fills that highlight extreme momentum conditions:
Green Fill (Above Upper Band):
Appears when RSI breaks above the upper band, indicating exceptionally strong bullish momentum
Represents dynamic overbought zone - not necessarily a reversal signal but a warning of extreme conditions
In strong uptrends, green fills can persist as RSI "rides the band" - this indicates sustained momentum strength
Exit of green zone (RSI falling back below upper band) often signals initial momentum weakening
Red Fill (Below Lower Band):
Appears when RSI breaks below the lower band, indicating exceptionally weak bearish momentum
Represents dynamic oversold zone - potential reversal or continuation signal depending on trend context
In strong downtrends, red fills can persist as RSI "rides the band" - this indicates sustained selling pressure
Exit of red zone (RSI rising back above lower band) often signals initial momentum recovery
Position-Based Signals:
Upper Band Interactions:
RSI Touching Upper Band: Dynamic overbought condition - momentum is extremely strong relative to recent volatility, potential exhaustion or continuation depending on trend context
RSI Riding Upper Band: Sustained strong momentum, often seen in powerful trends, not necessarily an immediate reversal signal but warrants monitoring for exhaustion
RSI Crossing Below Upper Band: Initial momentum weakening signal, particularly significant if accompanied by price divergence
Lower Band Interactions:
RSI Touching Lower Band: Dynamic oversold condition - momentum is extremely weak relative to recent volatility, potential reversal or continuation of downtrend
RSI Riding Lower Band: Sustained weak momentum, common in strong downtrends, monitor for potential exhaustion
RSI Crossing Above Lower Band: Initial momentum strengthening signal, early indication of potential reversal or consolidation
Basis Line Signals:
RSI Above Basis: Bullish momentum regime - upward pressure dominant
RSI Below Basis: Bearish momentum regime - downward pressure dominant
Basis Crossovers: Momentum regime shifts, more significant when accompanied by band width changes
RSI Oscillating Around Basis: Balanced momentum, often indicates ranging market conditions
Volatility-Based Signals:
Band Width Patterns:
Narrow Bands (Squeeze): Momentum volatility compression, often precedes significant directional moves, similar to price coiling patterns
Expanding Bands: Increasing momentum volatility, indicates trend acceleration or growing uncertainty
Narrowest Band in 100 Bars: Extreme compression alert, high probability of upcoming volatility expansion
Advanced Pattern Recognition:
Divergence Analysis:
Bullish Divergence: Price makes lower lows while RSI touches or stays above previous lower band touch, suggests downward momentum weakening
Bearish Divergence: Price makes higher highs while RSI touches or stays below previous upper band touch, suggests upward momentum weakening
Hidden Bullish: Price makes higher lows while RSI makes lower lows at the lower band, indicates strong underlying bullish momentum
Hidden Bearish: Price makes lower highs while RSI makes higher highs at the upper band, indicates strong underlying bearish momentum
Band Walk Patterns:
Upper Band Walk: RSI consistently touching or staying near upper band indicates exceptionally strong trend, wait for clear break below basis before considering reversal
Lower Band Walk: RSI consistently at lower band signals very weak momentum, requires break above basis for reversal confirmation
🎯 STRATEGIC APPLICATIONS

Price BB Characteristics:
Measures absolute price volatility
Affected by large price gaps and outliers
Band position relative to price not normalized
Difficult to compare across different price scales
RSI BB Advantages:
Normalized Scale: RSI's 0-100 bounds make band interpretation consistent across all instruments
Momentum Focus: Directly measures momentum extremes rather than price extremes
Reduced Gap Impact: RSI calculation smooths price gaps impact on band calculations
Comparable Analysis: Same RSI BB appearance across stocks, forex, crypto enables consistent strategy application
Performance Characteristics:
Signal Quality:
Higher Signal-to-Noise Ratio: Dynamic bands help filter RSI oscillations that don't represent meaningful extremes
Context-Aware Alerts: Band width provides volatility context helping traders adjust position sizing and stop placement
Reduced Whipsaws: During consolidations, narrower bands prevent premature signals from minor RSI movements
Responsiveness:
Adaptive Lag: Band calculation introduces some lag, but this lag is adaptive to current conditions rather than fixed
Faster Than Manual Adjustment: Automatic band adjustment is faster than trader's ability to manually modify thresholds
Balanced Approach: Combines RSI's inherent momentum lag with BB's statistical smoothing for stable yet responsive signals
Versatility:
Multi-Strategy Application: Supports both mean reversion (ranging markets) and trend continuation (trending markets) approaches
Universal Instrument Coverage: Works effectively across equities, forex, commodities, cryptocurrencies without parameter changes
Timeframe Agnostic: Same interpretation applies from 1-minute charts to monthly charts
Limitations and Considerations:
Known Limitations:
Dual Lag Effect: Combines RSI's momentum lag with BB's statistical lag, making it less suitable for very short-term scalping
Requires Volatility History: Needs sufficient bars for BB calculation, less effective immediately after major regime changes
Statistical Assumptions: Assumes RSI values are somewhat normally distributed, extreme trending conditions may violate this
Not a Standalone System: Like all indicators, should be combined with price action analysis and risk management
Optimal Use Cases:
Best for swing trading and position trading timeframes
Most effective in markets with alternating volatility regimes
Ideal for traders who use multiple instruments and timeframes
Suitable for systematic trading approaches requiring consistent logic
Suboptimal Conditions:
Very low timeframes (< 5 minutes) where lag becomes problematic
Instruments with extreme volatility spikes (gap-prone markets)
Markets in strong persistent trends where mean reversion rarely occurs
Periods immediately following major structural changes (new trading regime)
USAGE NOTES
This indicator is designed for technical analysis and educational purposes to help traders understand the interaction between momentum measurement and statistical volatility bands. The RSI Bollinger Bands has limitations and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions.
Important Considerations:
No Predictive Guarantee: Past band touches and patterns do not guarantee future price behavior
Market Regime Dependency: Indicator performance varies significantly between trending and ranging market conditions
Complementary Analysis Required: Should be used alongside price action, support/resistance levels, and fundamental analysis
Risk Management Essential: Always use proper position sizing, stop losses, and risk controls regardless of signal quality
Parameter Sensitivity: Different instruments and timeframes may require parameter optimization for optimal results
Continuous Monitoring: Band characteristics change with market conditions, requiring ongoing assessment
Recommended Supporting Analysis:
Price structure analysis (support/resistance, trend lines)
Volume confirmation for breakout signals
Multiple timeframe alignment
Market context awareness (news events, session times)
Correlation analysis with related instruments
The indicator aims to provide adaptive momentum analysis that adjusts to changing market volatility, but traders must apply sound judgment, proper risk management, and comprehensive market analysis in their decision-making process.
Market Regime (w/ Adaptive Thresholds)Logic Behind This Indicator
This indicator identifies market regimes (trending vs. mean-reverting) using adaptive thresholds that adjust to recent market conditions.
Core Components
1. Regime Score Calculation (0-100 scale)
Starts at 50 (neutral) and adjusts based on two factors:
A. Trend Strength
Compares fast EMA (5) vs. slow EMA (10)
If fast > slow by >1% → +60 points (strong uptrend)
If fast < slow by >1% → -60 points (strong downtrend)
B. RSI Momentum
Uses 7-period RSI smoothed with 3-period EMA
RSI > 70 → +20 points (overbought/trending)
RSI < 30 → -20 points (oversold/mean-reverting)
The score is then smoothed and clamped between 0-100.
2. Adaptive Thresholds
Instead of fixed levels, thresholds adjust to recent market behavior:
Looks back 100 bars to find the min/max regime score
High threshold = 80% of the range (trending regime)
Low threshold = 20% of the range (mean-reverting regime)
This prevents false signals in different volatility environments.
3. Regime Classification
Regime Score Classification Meaning
Above high threshold STRONG TREND Market is trending strongly (follow momentum)
Below low threshold STRONG MEAN REVERSION Market is choppy/oversold (fade moves)
Between thresholds NEUTRAL No clear regime (stay out or wait)
4. Regime Persistence Filter
Requires the regime to hold for a minimum number of bars (default: 1) before confirming
Prevents whipsaws from brief score fluctuations
What It Aims to Detect
When to use trend-following strategies (green = buy breakouts, ride momentum)
When to use mean-reversion strategies (red = buy dips, sell rallies)
When to stay out (gray = unclear conditions, high risk of false signals)
Visual Cues
Green background = Strong trend (momentum strategies work)
Red background = Strong mean reversion (contrarian strategies work)
Table = Shows current regime, color, and score
Alerts = Notifies when regime changes
Advanced RSI with Divergence RCT This indicator provides a comprehensive RSI analysis tool by combining the classic Relative Strength Index (RSI) with a smoothing Simple Moving Average (SMA), clearly defined overbought/oversold zones, and an advanced divergence detection engine.
--- Key Features ---
1. RSI with SMA: Plots the standard RSI along with a user-defined SMA of the RSI. This helps to smooth out price action and confirm the underlying trend, identifying potential buy/sell signals on crossovers.
2. Overbought/Oversold Levels: Highlights the extreme zones with dotted horizontal lines at 80 (overbought) and 20 (oversold), providing clear visual cues for potential market reversals.
3. Advanced Divergence Detection: Automatically identifies and plots both regular and hidden divergences (bullish and bearish) directly on the chart. This helps traders spot potential reversals that are not obvious from price action alone.
--- How to Use ---
- Trend Confirmation: When the RSI crosses above its SMA, it can signal a strengthening bullish trend. A cross below can signal a strengthening bearish trend.
- Reversal Zones: When the RSI enters the overbought zone (>80) or oversold zone (<20), traders may watch for a reversal in price.
- Divergence Signals:
- A Bullish Divergence (green label 'R') occurs when the price makes a lower low, but the RSI makes a higher low, suggesting downward momentum is fading.
- A Bearish Divergence (red label 'R') occurs when the price makes a higher high, but the RSI makes a lower high, suggesting upward momentum is fading.
- Hidden Divergences ('H' labels) can indicate the continuation of an existing trend.

Aladin Pair Trading System v1Aladin Pair Trading System v1
What is This Indicator?
The Aladin Pair Trading System is a sophisticated tool designed to help traders identify profitable opportunities by comparing two related stocks that historically move together. Think of it as finding when one twin is running ahead or lagging behind the other - these moments often present trading opportunities as they tend to return to moving together.
Who Should Use This?
Beginners: Learn about statistical arbitrage and pair trading
Intermediate Traders: Execute mean-reversion strategies with confidence
Advanced Traders: Fine-tune parameters for optimal pair relationships
Portfolio Managers: Implement market-neutral strategies
💡 What is Pair Trading?
Imagine two ice cream shops next to each other. They usually have similar customer traffic because they're in the same area. If one day Shop A is packed while Shop B is empty, you might expect this imbalance to correct itself soon.
Pair trading works the same way:
You find two stocks that normally move together (like TCS and Infosys)
When one stock moves too far from the other, you trade expecting them to realign
You buy the lagging stock and sell the leading stock
When they come back together, you profit from both sides
Key Features
1. Z-Score Analysis
What it is: A statistical measure showing how far the price relationship has deviated from normal
What it means:
Z-Score near 0 = Normal relationship
Z-Score at +2 = Stock A is expensive relative to Stock B (Sell A, Buy B)
Z-Score at -2 = Stock A is cheap relative to Stock B (Buy A, Sell B)
2. Multiple Timeframe Analysis
Long-term Z-Score (300 bars): Shows the big picture trend
Short-term Z-Score (100 bars): Shows recent movements
Signal Z-Score (20 bars): Generates quick trading signals
3. Statistical Validation
The indicator checks if the pair is suitable for trading:
Correlation (must be > 0.7): Confirms the stocks move together
1.0 = Perfect positive correlation
0.7 = Strong correlation
Below 0.7 = Warning: pair may not be reliable
ADF P-Value (should be < 0.05): Tests if the relationship is stable
Low value = Good for pair trading
High value = Relationship may be random
Cointegration: Confirms long-term equilibrium relationship
YES = Pair tends to revert to mean
NO = Pair may drift apart permanently
Visual Elements Explained
Chart Zones (Color-Coded Areas)
Yellow Zone (-1.5 to +1.5)
Normal Zone: Relationship is stable
Action: Wait for better opportunities
Blue Zone (±1.5 to ±2.0)
Entry Zone: Deviation is significant
Action: Prepare for potential trades
Green/Red Zone (±2.0 to ±3.0)
Opportunity Zone: Strong deviation

How to Use (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Choose Your Pair
Add the indicator to your chart (this becomes Stock A)
In settings, select Stock B (the comparison stock)
Choose stocks from the same sector for best results
Step 2: Verify Pair Quality
Check the Statistics Table (top-right corner):
✅ Correlation > 0.70 (Green = Good)
✅ ADF P-value < 0.05 (Green = Good)
✅ Cointegrated = YES (Green = Good)
If all three are green, the pair is suitable for trading!
Step 3: Wait for Signals
BUY SIGNAL (Green Arrow Up)
Z-Score crosses above -2.0
Action: Buy Stock A, Sell Stock B
Exit: When Z-Score returns to 0
SELL SIGNAL (Red Arrow Down)
Z-Score crosses below +2.0
Action: Sell Stock A, Buy Stock B
Exit: When Z-Score returns to 0
Step 4: Risk Management
Yellow Zone: Monitor only
Blue Zone: Prepare for entry
Green/Red Zone: Active trading zone
Beyond ±3.0: Maximum risk - use caution
⚠️ Important Warnings
Not All Pairs Work: Always check the statistics table first
Market Conditions Matter: Correlation can break during market stress
Use Stop Losses: Set stops at Z-Score ±3.5 or beyond
Position Sizing: Trade both legs with appropriate hedge ratios
Transaction Costs: Factor in brokerage and slippage for both stocks
Example Trade
Scenario: TCS vs INFOSYS
Correlation: 0.85 ✅
Z-Score: -2.3 (TCS is cheap vs INFY)
Action to be taken:
Buy 1lot of TCS Future
Sell 1lot of INFOSYS Future
Expected Outcome:
As Z-Score moves toward 0, TCS outperforms INFOSYS
Close both positions when Z-Score crosses 0
Profit from the convergence

EMA Candle ColorEMA Candle Color - Visual EMA-Based Candle Coloring System
Overview:
This indicator provides a visual approach to trend identification by coloring candles based on their relationship with an Exponential Moving Average (EMA). The script dynamically colors both the candle bars and plots custom candles to give traders an immediate visual representation of price momentum relative to the EMA.
How It Works:
The indicator calculates an EMA based on your chosen source (default: open price) and length (default: 10 periods). It then applies a simple yet effective rule:
When the source price is ABOVE the EMA → Candles turn GREEN (bullish)
When the source price is BELOW the EMA → Candles turn RED (bearish)
This instant visual feedback helps traders quickly identify:
Current trend direction
Potential support/resistance levels (the EMA line itself)
Momentum shifts when candles change color
Key Features:
Customizable EMA Parameters: Adjust the EMA length (1-500) and source (open, close, high, low, hl2, hlc3, ohlc4)
Custom Color Selection: Choose your preferred bullish and bearish colors to match your chart theme
Dual Visualization: Both bar coloring and custom plotcandle for enhanced visibility
Offset Capability: Shift the EMA line forward or backward for advanced analysis
Clean Design: Minimal overlay that doesn't clutter your chart
How to Use:
1. Add the indicator to your chart
2. Adjust the EMA Length based on your trading timeframe:
- Shorter periods (5-20) for day trading and scalping
- Medium periods (20-50) for swing trading
- Longer periods (50-200) for position trading
3. Watch for candle color changes as potential entry/exit signals
4. Combine with other indicators for confirmation
Trading Applications:
Trend Following: Stay in trades while candles remain the same color
Reversal Signals: Watch for color changes as early reversal warnings
Filter System: Only take long positions during green candles, shorts during red
Visual Clarity: Quickly assess market sentiment at a glance
Settings:
Length: EMA calculation period (default: 10)
Source: Price data used for EMA calculation (default: open)
Offset: Shift EMA line on chart (default: 0)
Bullish Color: Color for candles above EMA (default: green)
Bearish Color: Color for candles below EMA (default: red)
Technical Details:
The script uses Pine Script v6 and employs the standard ta.ema() function for smooth, responsive EMA calculations. The candle coloring is achieved through both barcolor() and plotcandle() functions, ensuring visibility across different chart settings.
Note:
This indicator works on all timeframes and instruments. For best results, combine with proper risk management and additional confirmation indicators. The EMA Candle Color system is designed to simplify trend identification, not as a standalone trading system.
Tips:
Use on higher timeframes for more reliable signals
Combine with volume analysis for confirmation
Consider using multiple EMA periods for confluence
Disable default candles if using the plotcandle feature to avoid overlap

RMBS Smart Detector - Multi-Factor Momentum System
# RMBS Smart Detector - Multi-Factor Momentum System
## Overview
RMBS (Smart Detector - Multi-Factor Momentum System) is a proprietary scoring method developed by Ario, combining normalized RSI and Bollinger band positioning into a single composite metric.
---
## Core Methodology
### Buy/Sell Logic
Marker (green or red )appear when **all four filters** pass:
**1. RMBS Score (Momentum Strength)**
From the formula Bellow
Combined Range: -10 (extreme bearish) to +10 (extreme bullish)
Signal Thresholds:
• BUY: Score > +3.0
• SELL: Score < -3.0
2. EMA Trend Filter
BUY: EMA(21) > EMA(55) → Uptrend confirmed
SELL: EMA(21) < EMA(55) → Downtrend confirmed
3. ADX Strength Filter
Minimum ADX: 25 (adjustable 20-30)
ADX > 25: Trending market → Signal allowed
ADX < 25: Range-bound → Signal blocked
4. Alternating Logic
Prevents signal spam by requiring alternation:
✓ BUY → SELL → BUY (allowed)
✗ BUY → BUY → BUY (blocked)
________________________________________
Mathematical Foundation
RMBS Formula: scoring method developed by Ario
RMBS = (RSI – 50) / 10 + ((BB_pos – 50) / 10)
where:
• RSI = Relative Strength Index (close, L)
• BB_pos = (Close – (SMA – 2 σ)) / ((SMA + 2 σ) – (SMA – 2 σ)) × 100
• σ = standard deviation of close over lookback L
• SMA = simple moving average of close over lookback L
• L = rmbs_length (period setting)
This produces a normalized composite score around zero:
• Positive → bullish momentum and upper band dominance
• Negative → bearish momentum and lower band pressure
• Near 0 → neutral or transitional zone
Input Parameters
ADX Threshold (default: 25)
• Lower (20-23): More signals, less filtering
• Higher (28-30): Fewer signals, stronger trends
• Recommended: 25 for balanced filtering
Signal Thresholds
• BUY: +3.0 (adjustable)
• SELL: -3.0 (adjustable)
Visual Options
• Marker colors
• Background highlights
• Alert settings
________________________________________
Usage Guidelines
How to Interpret
• 🟢 Green Marker: All conditions met for Bull condition
• 🔴 Red Marker: All conditions met for Bear condition
• No Marker: Waiting for confirmation
________________________________________

Magic Volume - Projected [MW]Magic Volume – Projected
This lower-pane volume tool estimates the full-bar volume before the bar closes by measuring the current bar’s elapsed time and the rate of incoming volume. It then contrasts that “expected volume” against typical activity and recent momentum to spotlight potential burst conditions (breakout/acceleration), color-codes the live volume stream, and annotates when the projected surge is likely bullish or bearish based on bar structure and recent highs/lows.
Settings
Projected / Expected Volume
Moving Average: EMA length used for volume baseline comparisons. (Default: 14)
Minimum Volume: Hard floor the bar’s raw volume must exceed to qualify as notable. (Default: 10,000)
Consecutive Volume Above 14 EMA: Count required for “sustained” high-volume context. (Default: 3)
Stochastic Volume Burst
Stochastic Length: Window for the Stochastic calculation on volume. (Default: 8)
Smoothing: Smoothing applied to Stochastic volume and its signal. (Default: 3)
Stochastic Volume Breakout Threshold: Level above which Stochastic volume is considered a breakout. (Default: 20)
Volume Bar Increase Amount: Multiplier the current bar’s volume must exceed vs. prior bar to be considered a “burst.” (Default: 1.618)
Plotted Items
Expected Volume (columns): Magenta columns projecting the full-bar volume from intrabar rate. Turns lime when a high expected-volume condition aligns with bullish bar structure; turns red under analogous bearish conditions.
Actual Volume (columns): Live volume columns, color-coded by state:
• Blue = baseline;
• Orange = “burst” (volume rising fast above prior × factor and above baseline);
• Yellow = “burst at breakout” (burst + Stochastic volume breakout);
• Light Blue = Stochastic breakout only.
Volume EMA (line): Yellow EMA for baseline comparison (default 14).
Calculations
Compute elapsed time in the current bar (ms → seconds) and convert the current bar’s accumulated volume into a rate (volume per second).
Project full-bar Expected Volume = (volume so far / seconds elapsed) × bar-seconds.
Compute Volume EMA (default 14) for baseline; derive Stochastic(volume, length) and smoothed signal for momentum.
Define “Burst” conditions:
• Volume > prior volume × Volume Bar Increase Amount;
• Volume > Minimum Volume;
• Volume > Volume EMA;
• Stochastic(volume) rising and/or above threshold.
Classify “Burst at Breakout” when Burst aligns with Stochastic crossover above the Breakout Threshold.
Classify Bullish/Bearish Expected Volume: if Expected Volume is ≥ 1.618 × prior bar volume and prior volume > Volume EMA, then:
• Bullish if bar is green with a rising low;
• Bearish if bar is red with a falling high.
Color-map actual volume columns by state; overlay Expected Volume columns (magenta) and paint conditional overlays (lime/red) when directional context is detected.
How to Use
Spot the Surge Early
When Expected Volume spikes well above typical (and especially above ~1.618× the prior bar) before the bar closes, it often precedes a volatile move. Use this to prepare entries with tight, structure-based risk (e.g., just beyond the current bar’s wick) and asymmetric targets.
Confirm with Momentum
Yellow/orange volume columns indicate burst/breakout behavior in the live tape. When this aligns with a lime (bullish) or red (bearish) Expected Volume column, the probability of follow-through improves—particularly if aligned with prevailing trend or key levels.
Context Matters
Combine with your preferred S/R or structure tools (e.g., order blocks, channels, VWAP) to avoid chasing into obvious supply/demand. The projected surge can mark both continuations and sharp reversals depending on location and broader context.
Alerts
High Expected Volume – Bullish: When projected volume surges and the price action meets bullish conditions (green body with rising low).
High Expected Volume – Bearish: When projected volume surges and the price action meets bearish conditions (red body with falling high).
Other Usage Notes and Limitations
Projected volume depends on intrabar pace; abrupt pauses/flushes can change the projection quickly, especially on very small timeframes.
Minimum Volume and EMA baselines help filter thin markets; adjust upward on illiquid symbols to reduce noise.
A rising projection does not pick direction on its own—directional coloring (lime/red) requires price-action confirmation; otherwise treat magenta projections as “heads-up” only.
As with any single indicator, use within a broader plan (risk management, structure, confluence) to mitigate false positives and improve selectivity.

Market Structure ICT Screener [TradingFinder] BoS ChoCh🔵 Introduction
Market Structure is the foundation of every Smart Money and ICT based trading model. It describes how price moves through a sequence of highs and lows, forming clear phases of expansion, retracement and reversal. Understanding this structure allows traders to read institutional order flow and align their positions with the true direction of liquidity.
Two of the most critical components in Market Structure are the Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHOCH). A BOS represents trend continuation, confirming strength within the current direction. In contrast, CHOCH also known as a Market Structure Shift (MSS) signals the first sign of a trend reversal or liquidity shift where order flow begins to change from bullish to bearish or vice versa.
Because the market is fractal, structure can exist at multiple levels known as Major (External) and Minor (Internal). Major structure defines the overall trend on higher timeframes while minor or internal structure reveals short term swings and early reversals within that larger move.
🔵 How to Use
Understanding Market Structure starts with identifying how price interacts with previous swing highs and swing lows. Every trend in the market, whether bullish or bearish, is built from a sequence of impulsive and corrective moves. Impulsive legs show strong displacement in the direction of liquidity flow, while corrective legs represent temporary pullbacks as the market rebalances before the next expansion. Recognizing these sequences is essential for reading the story of price and anticipating what may happen next.
A Break of Structure (BOS) occurs when price decisively moves beyond a previous structural point by breaking above the last high in an uptrend or falling below the last low in a downtrend. This event confirms that the current trend remains intact and that liquidity has been successfully taken from one side of the market. A BOS acts as confirmation of continuation and reflects strength within the existing directional bias.
A Change of Character (CHOCH) appears when price violates structure in the opposite direction of the prevailing trend. This is the first signal that market sentiment and order flow may be shifting. For example, during a downtrend if price breaks above a previous high, it indicates that sellers are losing control and a potential bullish reversal may be developing. In an uptrend, when price drops below a recent low, it suggests a possible bearish transition.
Because the market is fractal, structure exists across multiple layers. Major structure reflects the dominant movement visible on higher timeframes and defines the broader directional bias. Minor or internal structure represents smaller swings within that move and helps identify early transitions before they appear on the higher timeframe. When internal and external structures align, they offer a high probability signal for trend continuation or reversal.
By observing BOS and CHOCH across both internal and external structures, traders can clearly visualize when the market is expanding, contracting or preparing to shift direction. This structured understanding of price movement forms the foundation for precise trend analysis and high quality decision making in any Smart Money or ICT based trading approach.

🔵 Conclusion
Mastering Market Structure and understanding the relationship between BOS and CHOCH allows traders to see the market with greater clarity and confidence. These two elements reveal how liquidity moves through different phases of expansion and retracement and how institutional order flow shifts between accumulation and distribution.
By analyzing both internal and external structures, traders can align short term and long term perspectives and anticipate where price is most likely to react. The ability to read these structural shifts helps identify continuation points, reversals and areas where liquidity is engineered or collected.
Incorporating Market Structure into a consistent trading process transforms the way a trader views the chart. Instead of reacting to random movements, each swing, break and shift becomes part of a logical framework that reflects the true behavior of the market. Understanding BOS and CHOCH is not just a concept but a complete language of price that guides every professional decision in Smart Money and ICT based trading.
FVG Scanner ProFVG Scanner Pro — Smart Fair Value Gap Detector (with HTF context & proximity alerts)
What it does
FVG Scanner Pro automatically finds Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on your current chart and (optionally) on a higher timeframe (HTF), draws them as color-coded zones, and notifies you when price comes close to a gap boundary using an ADR-based proximity trigger and (optional) volume confirmation. It’s designed for ICT-style gap trading, confluence building, and clean visual execution.
How it works:
FVG definition
* Bullish FVG (gap up): low > high (the current candle’s low is above the high 2 bars ago).
* Bearish FVG (gap down): high < low (the current candle’s high is below the low 2 bars ago).
* Gaps smaller than your Min FVG Size (%) are ignored. (Gap size = (top-bottom)/bottom * 100.)
Higher-timeframe logic (auto-selected)
The script auto picks a sensible HTF:
1–5m → 15m, 15m → 1H, 1H → 4H, 4H → 1D, 1D → 1W, 1W → 1M, small 1M → 3M, big ≥3M → 12M.
You can display HTF FVGs and even filter so current-TF FVGs only show when they overlap an HTF gap.
Proximity alerts (ADR-based)
The script computes ADR on the current chart timeframe over a user-set lookback (default 20 bars).
An alert fires when price moves toward the closest actionable boundary and comes within ADR × Multiplier:
Bullish: price moving down, within distance of the bottom of a bullish FVG.
Bearish: price moving up, within distance of the top of a bearish FVG.
Yellow ▲/▼ markers show where a proximity alert triggered.
Volume filter (optional)
Require volume to be greater than SMA(20) × multiplier to accept a newly formed FVG.
Lifecycle
Each gap remains active for Extend FVG Box (Bars) bars.
You can delete the box after fill, or keep filled gaps visible as gray zones, or hide them.
Color legend
Current-TF Bullish: Pink/Magenta box
Current-TF Bearish: Cyan/Turquoise box
HTF Bullish: Gold box
HTF Bearish: Orange box
Filled (if shown): Gray box
Alert markers: Yellow ▲ (bullish), Yellow ▼ (bearish)
Inputs (what to tweak)
Show FVGs: Bullish / Bearish / Both
Max Bars Back to Find FVG: collection window & cleanup guard
Extend FVG Box (Bars): how long a zone stays tradable/active
Min FVG Size (%): ignore micro gaps
Delete Box After Fill & Show Filled FVGs: choose how you want completed gaps handled
Show Alert Markers: show/hide the yellow proximity arrows
Show Higher Timeframe FVG: overlay HTF gaps (auto TF)
HTF Filter: only display current-TF gaps that overlap an HTF gap
ADR Lookback & Proximity Multiplier: tune alert sensitivity to your market & timeframe
Volume Filter & Volume > MA Multiple: require above-average volume for new gaps
Built-in alerts (ready to use)
Create alerts in TradingView (⚠️ “Once per bar” or “Once per bar close”, your choice) and select from:
🟢 Bullish FVG Proximity — price approaching a bullish gap bottom
🔴 Bearish FVG Proximity — price approaching a bearish gap top
✅ New Bullish FVG Formed
⚠️ New Bearish FVG Formed
The alert messages include the symbol and price; proximity markers are also plotted on chart.
Tips & best practices
Use FVGs with market structure (break of structure, swing points), order blocks, or liquidity pools for confluence.
On very low timeframes, raise Min FVG Size and/or lower Max Bars Back to reduce noise and keep things fast.
Extend FVG Box controls how long a zone is considered valid; align it with your holding horizon (scalp vs swing).

US Opening 5-Minute Candle HighlighterUS Opening 5-Minute Candle Highlighter — True RVOL (Two-Tier + Label)
What it does (in plain English)
This indicator finds the first 5-minute bar of the US cash session (09:30–09:35 ET) and highlights it when the candle has the specific “strong open” look you want:
Opens near the low of its own range, and
Closes near the high of its own range, and
Has a decisive real body (not a wick-y doji), and
(Optionally) is a green candle, and
Meets a TRUE opening-bar RVOL filter (compares today’s 09:30–09:35 volume only to prior sessions’ 09:30–09:35 volumes).
You get two visual intensities based on opening RVOL:
Tier-1 (≥ threshold 1, default 1.0×) → light green highlight + lime arrow
Tier-2 (≥ threshold 2, default 1.5×) → darker green highlight + green arrow
An RVOL label (e.g., RVOL 1.84x) can be shown above or below the opening bar.
Designed for 5-minute charts. On other timeframes the “opening bar” will be the bar that starts at 09:30 on that timeframe (e.g., 15-minute 09:30–09:45). For best results keep the chart on 5m.
How the pattern is defined
For the opening 5-minute bar, we compute:
Range = high − low
Body = |close − open|
Then we measure where the open and close sit within the bar’s own range on a 0→1 scale:
0 means exactly at the low
1 means exactly at the high
Using two quantiles:
Open ≤ position in range (0–1) (default 0.20)
Example: 0.20 means “open must be in the lowest 20% of the bar’s range.”
Close ≥ position in range (0–1) (default 0.80)
Example: 0.80 means “close must be in the top 20% of the bar’s range.”
This keeps the logic range-normalized so it adapts across different tickers and vol regimes (you’re not using fixed cents or % of price).
Body ≥ fraction of range (0–1) (default 0.55)
Requires the real body to be at least that fraction of the total range.
0.55 = body fills ≥ 55% of the candle.
Purpose: filter out indecisive, wick-heavy bars.
Raise to 0.7–0.8 for only the fattest thrusts; lower to 0.3–0.4 to admit more bars.
Require green candle? (default ON)
If ON, close > open must be true. Turn OFF if you also want to catch strong red opens for shorts.
Minimum range (ticks)
Ignore tiny, illiquid opens: e.g., set to 2–5 ticks to suppress micro bars.
TRUE Opening-Bar RVOL (why it’s “true”)
Most “RVOL” compares against any recent bars, which isn’t fair at the open.
This indicator calculates only against prior opening bars:
At 09:30–09:35 ET, take today’s opening 5-minute volume.
Compare it to the average of the last N sessions’ opening 5-minute volumes.
RVOL = today_open_volume / average_prior_open_volumes.
So:
1.0× = equal to average prior opens.
1.5× = 150% of average prior opens.
2.0× = double the typical opening participation.
A minimum prior samples guard (default 10) ensures you don’t judge with too little history. Until enough samples exist, the RVOL gate won’t pass (you can disable RVOL temporarily if needed).
Visuals & tiers
Light green highlight + lime arrow → price filters pass and RVOL ≥ Tier-1 (default 1.0×)
Dark green highlight + green arrow → price filters pass and RVOL ≥ Tier-2 (default 1.5×)
Optional bar paint in matching green tones for extra visibility.
Optional RVOL label (e.g., RVOL 1.84x) above or below the opening bar.
You can show the label only when the candle qualifies, or on every open.
Inputs (step-by-step)
Price-action filters
Open ≤ position in range (0–1): default 0.20. Smaller = stricter (must open nearer the low).
Close ≥ position in range (0–1): default 0.80. Larger = stricter (must close nearer the high).
Body ≥ fraction of range (0–1): default 0.55. Raise to demand a “fatter” body.
Require green candle?: default ON. Turn OFF to also mark bearish thrusts.
Minimum range (ticks): default 0. Set to 2–5 for liquid mid/large caps.
Time settings
Timezone: default America/New_York. Leave as is for US equities.
Start hour / minute: defaults 09:30. The bar that starts at this time is evaluated.
TRUE Opening-Bar RVOL (two-tier)
Require TRUE opening-bar RVOL?: ON = must pass Tier-1 to highlight; OFF = price filters alone can highlight (still shows Tier-2 when hit).
RVOL lookback (prior opens count): default 20. How many prior openings to average.
Min prior opens required: default 10. Warm-up guard.
Tier-1 RVOL threshold (× avg): default 1.00× (light green).
Tier-2 RVOL threshold (× avg): default 1.50× (dark green).
Display
Also paint candle body?: OFF by default. Turn ON for instant visibility on a chart wall.
Arrow size: tiny/small/normal/large.
Light/Dark opacity: tune highlight strength.
Show RVOL label?: ON/OFF.
Show label only when candle qualifies?: ON by default; OFF to see RVOL every open.
Label position: Above candle or Below candle.
Label size: tiny/small/normal/large.
How to use (quick start)
Apply to a 5-minute chart.
Keep defaults: Open ≤ 0.20, Close ≥ 0.80, Body ≥ 0.55, Require green ON.
Turn RVOL required ON, with Tier-1 = 1.0×, Tier-2 = 1.5×, Lookback = 20, Min prior = 10.
Optional: enable Paint bar and set Arrow size = large for monitor-wall visibility.
Optional: show RVOL label below the bar to keep wicks clean.
Interpretation:
Dark green = A+ opening thrust with strong participation (≥ Tier-2).
Light green = Valid opening thrust with at least average participation (≥ Tier-1).
No highlight = one or more filters failed (quantiles, body, green, range, or RVOL if required).
Alerts
Two alert conditions are included:
Opening 5m Match — Tier-2 RVOL → fires when the opening candle passes price filters and RVOL ≥ Tier-2.
Opening 5m Match — Tier-1 RVOL → fires when the opening candle passes price filters and RVOL ≥ Tier-1 (but < Tier-2).
Recommended alert settings
Condition: choose the script + desired tier.
Options: Once Per Bar Close (you want the confirmed 09:30–09:35 bar).
Set your watchlist to symbols of interest (themes/sectors) and let the alerts pull you to the right charts.
Recommended starting values
Quantiles: Open ≤ 0.20, Close ≥ 0.80
Body fraction: 0.55
Require green: ON
RVOL: Required ON, Tier-1 = 1.0×, Tier-2 = 1.5×, Lookback 20, Min prior 10
Display: Paint bar ON, Arrow large, Label ON, Below candle
Tune tighter for A-plus selectivity:
Open ≤ 0.15, Close ≥ 0.85, Body ≥ 0.65, Tier-2 2.0×.
Notes, tips & limitations
5-minute timeframe is the intended use. On higher TFs, the 09:30 bar spans more than 5 minutes; geometry may not reflect the first 5 minutes alone.
RTH only: The opening detection looks at the clock (09:30 ET). Pre-market bars are ignored for the signal and for RVOL history.
Warm-up period: Until you have Min prior opens required samples, the RVOL gate won’t pass. You can temporarily toggle RVOL off.
DST & timezone: Leave timezone on America/New_York for US equities. If you trade non-US exchanges, set the appropriate TZ and opening time.
Illiquid tickers: Use Minimum range (ticks) and require RVOL to reduce noise.
No strategy orders: This is a visual/alert tool. Combine with your execution and risk plan.
Why this is useful on multi-monitor setups
Instant pattern recognition: the two-shade green makes A vs A+ opens pop at a glance.
Adaptive thresholds: quantiles & body are within-bar, so it works across $5 and $500 names.
Fair volume test: TRUE opening RVOL avoids comparing to pre-market or midday bars.
Optional labels: glanceable RVOL x-value helps triage the strongest themes quickly.
