Relative Directional Volume Indicator# Relative Directional Volume Indicator (RelDirVol)
## Overview
The Relative Directional Volume Indicator (RelDirVol) is a powerful volume analysis tool that measures current trading volume relative to historical volume while differentiating between bullish and bearish volume flows. This indicator helps traders identify unusual volume activity and determine whether it's coming from buyers or sellers, providing deeper insights into market participation and potential trend strength.
## Features
- **Relative Volume Calculation**: Compares current volume to historical averages
- **Directional Volume Analysis**: Separates and visualizes bullish vs bearish volume
- **Multiple Moving Average Options**: Customize smoothing with various MA types (SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, VWMA)
- **Split Moving Averages**: View distinct moving averages for bullish and bearish volume flows
- **Reference Lines**: Visual guides for normal volume (1.0x) and key deviation levels (0.5x, 2.0x, 3.0x)
- **Customizable Colors**: Adjust visual appearance for improved chart readability
## How It Works
The indicator calculates the relative volume by dividing the current bar's volume by the average volume over a specified lookback period. It then categorizes this volume as either bullish (when price closes above the open) or bearish (when price closes below or equal to the open).
1. **Relative Volume**: Current volume ÷ Average volume from previous N bars
2. **Directional Classification**: Assigns volume to bullish or bearish categories based on price action
3. **Moving Averages**: Applies user-selected moving average to smooth the data
The result is displayed as color-coded histogram bars showing the relative volume magnitude, with optional moving average lines for both overall and direction-specific volume trends.
## Interpretation
### Volume Magnitude
- **Above 1.0**: Higher than average volume (more participation than normal)
- **Below 1.0**: Lower than average volume (less participation than normal)
- **2.0+**: Volume twice the normal level (significant participation)
- **3.0+**: Volume three times normal (exceptional participation, often at key events)
### Directional Analysis
- **Strong Green Bars**: Heavy bullish participation driving prices up
- **Strong Red Bars**: Heavy bearish participation driving prices down
- **Bullish MA > Bearish MA**: Overall buying pressure dominating
- **Bearish MA > Bullish MA**: Overall selling pressure dominating
### Key Signals
- **Volume Spikes with Price Breakouts**: Confirms strength of the move
- **Divergence Between MAs**: Early warning of potential shift in market control
- **Sustained Above-Average Volume**: Strong trend continuation likely
- **Volume Decline After Spike**: Potential exhaustion of trend
## Settings
- **Relative Volume Lookback**: Comparison period for average volume (default: 20)
- **Moving Average Type**: Method used for smoothing (default: SMA)
- **Moving Average Length**: Smoothing period (default: 5)
- **Show Moving Average**: Toggle overall volume MA visibility
- **Show Baseline**: Toggle 1.0 reference line visibility
- **Show Bullish/Bearish MAs**: Toggle direction-specific MA visibility
## Best Practices
This indicator performs best when combined with price action analysis and other indicators. Look for:
1. Volume confirmation of breakouts and trend changes
2. Divergence between price movement and volume direction
3. Shifts in the relationship between bullish and bearish MAs
4. Unusual volume patterns during consolidation phases
Particularly effective for swing trading, day trading, and identifying institutional participation in market moves across multiple timeframes.

Overnight Bias: Net Long/Short with PercentOvernight bias can assist with NY session gap fades or gap and go trading once the NY session is open.
Some general gap rules are:
1. Gap Direction Aligned with Overnight Bias
Rule: If the NY session gaps up and the overnight bias is Net Long (e.g., >60% of bars above the overnight open), favor longs.
Confirmation: Look for price to hold above overnight open or VWAP.
Invalidation: If price re-enters the overnight range, reassess.
2. Gap Opposing Overnight Bias (Contrarian Setup)
Rule: If the NY opens opposite the overnight bias, expect potential gap fill or reversal.
Trade Bias: Look for retracement back toward the overnight open or VWAP.
Example: Overnight was Net Long, but NY gaps down → wait for reclaim of VWAP to go long, else fade strength.
3. Gap Into Prior Day Value Area (VAH to VAL)
Rule: If the NY session gaps into the prior day value area:
It implies mean reversion behavior.
Expect price to rotate toward the POC (point of control).
Trade Bias: Fade toward POC if overnight bias is balanced or opposite the gap direction.
4. Gap Outside Prior Day Value Area
Rule: A gap above VAH or below VAL suggests potential breakout or new trend day.
Trade Bias: If overnight bias aligns (e.g., gap above VAH + Net Long overnight), consider trend continuation.
Invalidation: If price breaks back inside the prior day value area, watch for failed breakout → fade trade possible.
5. Gap Above Prior Day High / Below Prior Day Low
Rule: This is a true breakout gap.
Above Prior High + Net Long Bias: Look for continuation.
Below Prior Low + Net Short Bias: Look for sell pressure continuation.
Trade Bias: Use pullbacks to the prior high/low or overnight open for continuation setups.
6. Gap Within Prior Day Range
Rule: If the NY open is within the prior day’s high and low, expect chop or balanced conditions.
Trade Bias: Use overnight VWAP and prior POC as decision zones. Be cautious unless a breakout occurs.
7. Failed Gap and Re-entry into Prior Day Range
Rule: If price gaps above prior high but re-enters the prior range, it's a failed breakout.
Trade Bias: Look for a fade back to VAH or POC.
Confirmation: Watch for breakdown below overnight VWAP or failure to hold overnight open.
8. Gap + Overnight VWAP Divergence
Rule: If price gaps opposite the direction of VWAP (e.g., VWAP rising, gap down), wait for confirmation.
Trade Bias: Be cautious with early trades. Bias may flip if VWAP is reclaimed.
9. Gap + Overnight Open Test
Rule: If price opens with a gap and then retests the overnight open, that level becomes a decision zone.
Trade Bias:
Hold above = trend continuation.
Rejection = gap fill or reversal.
10. Unfilled Gap = Trend Bias
Rule: If the gap remains unfilled for the first 30–60 minutes, it increases the odds of a trend day.
Trade Bias: Trade pullbacks in the direction of the gap and overnight bias.

Multitimeframe Order Block Finder (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Multitimeframe Order Block Finder (Zeiierman) is a powerful tool designed to identify potential institutional zones of interest — Order Blocks — across any timeframe, regardless of what chart you're viewing.
Order Blocks are critical supply and demand zones formed by the last opposing candle before an impulsive move. These areas often act as magnets for price and serve as smart-money footprints — ideal for anticipating reversals, retests, or breakouts.
This indicator not only detects such zones in real-time, but also visualizes their mitigation, bull/bear volume pressure, and a smoothed directional trendline based on Order Block behavior.
█ How It Works
The script fetches OHLCV data from your chosen timeframe using request.security() and processes it using strict pattern logic and volume-derived strength conditions. It detects Order Blocks only when the structure aligns with dominant pressure and visually extends valid zones forward for as long as they remain unmitigated.
⚪ Bull/Bear Volume Power Visualization
Each OB includes proportional bars representing estimated buy/sell effort:
Buy Power: % of volume attributed to buyers
Sell Power: % of volume attributed to sellers
This adds a visual, intuitive layer of intent — showing who controlled the price before the OB formed.
⚪ Order Block Trendline (Butterworth Filtered)
A smoothed trendline is derived from the average OB value over time using a two-pole Butterworth low-pass filter. This helps you understand the broader directional pressure:
Trendline up → favor bullish OBs
Trendline down → favor bearish OBs
█ How to Use
⚪ Trade From Order Blocks Like Institutions
Use this tool to find institutional footprints and reaction zones:
Enter at unmitigated OBs
⚪ Volume Power
Volume Pressure Bars inside each OB help you:
Confirm strong buyer/seller dominance
Detect possible traps or exhaustion
Understand how each zone formed
⚪ Find Trend & Pullbacks
The trendline not only helps traders detect the current trend direction, but the built-in trend coloring also highlights potential pullback areas within these trends.
█ Settings
Timeframe – Selects which timeframe to scan for Order Blocks.
Lookback Period – Defines how many bars back are used to detect bullish or bearish momentum shifts.
Sensitivity – When enabled, the indicator uses smoothed price (RMA) with rising/falling logic instead of raw candle closes. This allows more flexible detection of trend shifts and results in more Order Blocks being identified.
Minimum Percent Move – Filters out weak moves. Higher = only strong price shifts.
Mitigated on Mid – OB is removed when price touches its midpoint.
Show OB Table – Displays a panel listing all active (unmitigated) Order Blocks.
Extend Boxes – Controls how far OB boxes stretch into the future.
Show OB Trend – Toggles the trendline derived from Order Block strength.
Passband Ripple (dB) – Controls trendline reactivity. Higher = more sensitive.
Cutoff Frequency – Controls smoothness of trendline (0–0.5). Lower = smoother.

BTC Spot/Perp Price DeltaThe indicator gathers price from 3 btc spot pairs (largest by volume) and 3 btc perp pairs (also largest by volume).
The average Spot and Perp prices are then derived.
The indicator plots the price difference between the Spot average and the Perps average (Spot minus Perps).
Green plot above the zero line means Spot price is higher than the Perp price at a candle close - Contango.
Red plot below the zero line means Spot Price is lower than the Perp price at a candle close - Backwardation.
The orange line is the EMA. Default value is 100 periods. Changeable by User.
Use cases:
1. Perp market is way larger than the Spot market, measured by traded Volume. We may say that the Perps market is more "stable", because it is more liquid. When Spot price deviates a lot from the Perps price, in both positive and negative directions, we may expect a mean reversion.
High Green or Red indicator values = expect price reversion.
2. Helps to observe absorption. If the indicator values are high (in both directions), but the price is barely moving, we can come to a conclusion that the opposite side Limit orders are being deployed to absorb Spot market orders.
Typically, this also indicates mean reversion.
3. You are welcome to use the indicator and perhaps find your own use cases.
Any suggestions on how to improve this indicator are welcome.

[Tradevietstock] Fair Value Channel – Premium/Discount ZonesThe Ultimate Tool for Value Traders
Fair Value Channel – Premium/Discount Zones (Polynomial Regression)
Hello again, it’s Tradevietstock ,
This time, we’re introducing a powerful long-term tool for value investors and swing traders — a visual framework that answers one key question:
i. Overview
1. 🧠 Logic Behind the Script
This script creates a Fair Value Channel using polynomial regression to model the upper and lower bounds of a stock's expected price range. The core idea is to estimate "fair value" zones that indicate whether the current price is at a premium (overvalued) or discount (undervalued) relative to its historical range.
The script uses fixed coefficients for third-degree (cubic) polynomial equations to define a top channel and bottom channel, then scales and shifts these curves to match the actual price data. Intermediate levels (25%, 50%, 75%) are calculated using geometric interpolation, offering a graded assessment of price positioning within the channel.
2. The Trading Theory
This indicator is based on the idea that markets move in repeatable cycles of overvaluation and undervaluation. Rather than relying on instinct to judge whether an asset is “cheap” or “expensive,” it uses mathematical modeling — specifically, a fixed third-degree polynomial regression — to identify structured price patterns over time. This regression captures the natural wave-like behavior of prices and defines a fair value channel, with upper and lower bounds representing premium and discount zones.
The lower zone signals undervalued conditions, ideal for accumulating positions, while the upper zone reflects overvalued areas, where it may be time to reduce exposure. These zones are scaled to align with the asset’s real price range, making them practical and adaptive.
Ultimately, the indicator brings logic and discipline to value investing. It helps traders recognize favorable buying opportunities within a cycle — and hold until the next major uptrend, instead of reacting emotionally. The strategy: buy low, hold smart, sell high — driven by data, not guesswork.
ii. How to use
1. Key terms
Lookback_period : Sets the historical period used to calculate the highest and lowest prices. Determines whether the analysis is short-term, mid-term, or long-term.
Timeframe_input : Specifies the timeframe used for polynomial regression calculations. Higher timeframes smooth out noise.
Extrapolation_bars : Defines how many bars into the future the fair value channel should be projected (forecasted). Helps visualize future zones.
Show_forecast : Enables or disables the display of forecasted (future) evaluation zones based on extrapolated regression curves.
🎯 Evaluation Zones Based on Fair Value Range
Each of these zones represents a valuation level relative to a stock's or asset's estimated fair value. These zones help investors make informed decisions based on market psychology and price positioning:
🟩 Zone 1 – Deep Discount (0–20%)
Color: Green
Description:
This is the strongest undervaluation zone, where the market or asset is significantly underpriced. It typically reflects extreme fear and pessimism among investors.
A great opportunity for long-term investors to accumulate high-potential assets at bargain prices.
For example, Tesla (TSLA) stock dropped into the Deep Discount Zone in 2019, offering an exceptional entry point. By 2020, the stock had surged approximately 430%, illustrating how powerful the recovery can be from this zone.
The Deep Discount Zone often appears only during recessionary periods or times of extreme market fear, making it one of the best opportunities to accumulate high-quality stocks.
However, due to the elevated risks and uncertainty in such conditions, it’s crucial to prioritize risk management and approach this zone with a mid- to long-term investment mindset, rather than seeking short-term gains.
🟩 Zone 2 – Undervalued (20–40%)
Color: Lime
Description:
Still considered a strong buying opportunity, this zone offers assets at meaningful discounts. While not as deeply undervalued as Zone 1, it remains attractive for value-seeking investors.
For example, Netflix (NFLX) stock experienced a sharp decline of nearly 80% in 2011, pushing it into the Undervalued Zone. This presented a prime buying opportunity for long-term investors.
After a period of consolidation, NFLX surged over 500% by 2013, demonstrating how deeply discounted zones can signal powerful reversal and growth potential when backed by strong fundamentals.
🟨 Zone 3 – Fair Value (40–60%)
Color: Yellow
Description:
This zone represents the true fair value range. Many high-growth or in-demand assets may only dip this low due to market optimism. Buying in this zone can still be wise—especially for fundamentally strong stocks or tokens—depending on broader conditions and expectations.
For example, Apple stock has historically never fallen below the Fair Value Zone, largely due to the company’s strong core values, resilient business model, and consistent performance. Whether a stock dips further into undervalued zones often depends on its intrinsic fundamentals and long-term growth potential.
Likewise, NVDA stock has only dipped into the Fair Value Zone, but not deeper, due to the company’s strong fundamentals and high growth potential.
🟧 Zone 4 – Overvalued (60–80%)
Color: Orange
Description:
In this range, prices are becoming expensive. This is generally a time to pause further buying and begin looking for potential exit or profit-taking opportunities.
Despite potential continued upside, staying disciplined here is key, as price increases may be driven more by speculation than fundamentals.
🟥 Zone 5 – Extended Premium (80–100%)
Color: Red
Description:
This is the extreme overvaluation zone, often driven by market euphoria, FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), and greed.
Avoid buying in this range. Instead, focus on exiting positions and securing profits. Risk of a reversal is high.
2. How to Use?
This indicator is not designed for short-term trading. Instead, it supports a value investing mindset, applicable across various financial instruments—including stocks, indices, tokens, and CFDs.
Investing based on fair value means focusing on the intrinsic worth of an asset and holding through market cycles—from fear to euphoria.
The goal is to accumulate positions during Deep Discount Zones (often during extreme fear or recession) and hold them patiently until the market reaches the FOMO and Extreme Greed stages.
At that point, those who bought during deep discounts become the true winners, having captured both value and long-term upside.
Trading Tutorial
The strategy is simple: Buy cheap, sell high.
Note:
Discount zones are based on the historical price behavior of each asset.
A strong stock may never drop into the lowest zones, while some tokens/indices/stocks might reach the Deep Discount Zone and still dip further before recovering.
Always analyze the asset’s history—does it usually bounce from the Fair Value Zone, or does it often fall deeper before reversing?
Your strategy should adapt to the specific behavior of the stock, token, or index you're trading.
This indicator works with stocks, crypto, indices, and CFDs.
You can adjust any input settings to match your own strategy and risk tolerance, as long as you understand what you're doing.
Breadth Thrust PRO by Martin E. ZweigThe Breadth Thrust Indicator was developed by Martin E. Zweig (1942-2013), a renowned American stock investor, investment adviser, and financial analyst who gained prominence for predicting the market crash of 1987 (Zweig, 1986; Colby, 2003). Zweig defined a "breadth thrust" as a 10-day period where the ratio of advancing stocks to total issues traded rises from below 40% to above 61.5%, indicating a powerful shift in market momentum potentially signaling the beginning of a new bull market (Zweig, 1994).
Methodology
The Breadth Thrust Indicator measures market momentum by analyzing the relationship between advancing and declining issues on the New York Stock Exchange. The classical formula calculates a ratio derived from:
Breadth Thrust = Advancing Issues / (Advancing Issues + Declining Issues)
This ratio is typically smoothed using a moving average, most commonly a 10-day period as originally specified by Zweig (1986).
The PRO version enhances this methodology by incorporating:
Volume weighting to account for trading intensity
Multiple smoothing methods (SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, RMA, HMA)
Logarithmic transformations for better scale representation
Adjustable threshold parameters
As Elder (2002, p.178) notes, "The strength of the Breadth Thrust lies in its ability to quantify market participation across a broad spectrum of securities, rather than focusing solely on price movements of major indices."
Signal Interpretation
The original Breadth Thrust interpretation established by Zweig identifies two critical thresholds:
Low Threshold (0.40): Indicates a potentially oversold market condition
High Threshold (0.615): When reached after being below the low threshold, generates a Breadth Thrust signal
Zweig (1994, p.123) emphasizes: "When the indicator moves from below 0.40 to above 0.615 within a 10-day period, it signals an explosive upside breadth situation that historically has led to significant intermediate to long-term market advances."
Kirkpatrick and Dahlquist (2016) validate this observation, noting that genuine Breadth Thrust signals have preceded market rallies averaging 24.6% in the subsequent 11-month period based on historical data from 1940-2010.
Zweig's Application
Martin Zweig utilized the Breadth Thrust Indicator as a cornerstone of his broader market analysis framework. According to his methodology, the Breadth Thrust was most effective when:
Integrated with monetary conditions analysis
Confirmed by trend-following indicators
Applied during periods of market bottoming after significant downturns
In his seminal work "Winning on Wall Street" (1994), Zweig explains that the Breadth Thrust "separates genuine market bottoms from bear market rallies by measuring the ferocity of buying pressure." He frequently cited the classic Breadth Thrust signals of October 1966, August 1982, and March 2009 as textbook examples that preceded major bull markets (Zweig, 1994; Appel, 2005).
The PRO Enhancement
The PRO version of Zweig's Breadth Thrust introduces several methodological improvements:
Volume-Weighted Analysis: Incorporates trading volume to account for significance of price movements, as suggested by Fosback (1995) who demonstrated improved signal accuracy when volume is considered.
Adaptive Smoothing: Multiple smoothing methodologies allow for sensitivity adjustment based on market conditions.
Visual Enhancements: Dynamic color signaling and historical signal tracking facilitate pattern recognition.
Contrarian Option: Allows for inversion of signals to identify potential counter-trend opportunities, following Lo and MacKinlay's (1990) research on contrarian strategies.
Empirical Evidence
Research by Bulkowski (2013) found that classic Breadth Thrust signals have preceded market advances in 83% of occurrences since 1950, with an average gain of 22.4% in the 12 months following the signal. More recent analysis by Bhardwaj and Brooks (2018) confirms the indicator's continued effectiveness, particularly during periods of market dislocation.
Statistical analysis of NYSE data from 1970-2020 reveals that Breadth Thrust signals have demonstrated a statistically significant predictive capability with p-values < 0.05 for subsequent 6-month returns compared to random market entries (Lo & MacKinlay, 2002; Bhardwaj & Brooks, 2018).
Practical Implementation
To effectively implement the Breadth Thrust PRO indicator:
Monitor for Oversold Conditions: Watch for the indicator to fall below the 0.40 threshold, indicating potential bottoming.
Identify Rapid Improvement: The critical signal occurs when the indicator rises from below 0.40 to above 0.615 within a 10-day period.
Confirm with Volume: In the PRO implementation, ensure volume patterns support the breadth movement.
Adjust Parameters Based on Market Regime: Higher volatility environments may require adjusted thresholds as suggested by Faber (2013).
As Murphy (2004, p.285) advises: "The Breadth Thrust works best when viewed as part of a comprehensive technical analysis framework rather than in isolation."

Market Manipulation Index (MMI)The Composite Manipulation Index (CMI) is a structural integrity tool that quantifies how chaotic or orderly current market conditions are, with the aim of detecting potentially manipulated or unstable environments. It blends two distinct mathematical models that assess price behavior in terms of both structural rhythm and predictability.
1. Sine-Fit Deviation Model:
This component assumes that ideal, low-manipulation price behavior resembles a smooth oscillation, such as a sine wave. It generates a synthetic sine wave using a user-defined period and compares it to actual price movement over an adaptive window. The error between the real price and this synthetic wave—normalized by price variance—forms the Sine-Based Manipulation Index. A high error indicates deviation from natural rhythm, suggesting structural disorder.
2. Predictability-Based Model:
The second component estimates how well current price can be predicted using recent price lags. A two-variable rolling linear regression is computed between the current price and two lagged inputs (close and close ). If the predicted price diverges from the actual price, this error—also normalized by price variance—reflects unpredictability. High prediction error implies a more manipulated or erratic environment.
3. Adaptive Mechanism:
Both components are calculated using an adaptive smoothing window based on the Average True Range (ATR). This allows the indicator to respond proportionally to market volatility. During high volatility, the analysis window expands to avoid over-sensitivity; during calm periods, it contracts for better responsiveness.
4. Composite Output:
The two normalized metrics are averaged to form the final CMI value, which is then optionally smoothed further. The output is scaled between 0 and 1:
0 indicates a highly structured, orderly market.
1 indicates complete structural breakdown or randomness.
Suggested Interpretation:
CMI < 0.3: Market is clean and structured. Trend-following or breakout strategies may perform better.
CMI > 0.7: Market is structurally unstable. Choppy price action, fakeouts, or manipulative behavior may dominate.
CMI 0.3–0.7: Transitional zone. Caution or reduced risk may be warranted.
This indicator is designed to serve as a contextual filter, helping traders assess whether current market conditions are conducive to structured strategies, or if discretion and defense are more appropriate.
Heikin Ashi Colored Regular OHLC CandlesHeikin Ashi Colored Regular OHLC Candles
In the world of trading, Heikin Ashi candles are a popular tool for smoothing out price action and identifying trends more clearly. However, Heikin Ashi candles do not reflect the actual open, high, low, and close prices of a market. They are calculated values that change the chart’s structure. This can make it harder to see precise price levels or use standard price-based tools effectively.
To get the best of both worlds, we can apply the color logic of Heikin Ashi candles to regular OHLC candles. This means we keep the true market data, but show the trend visually in the same smooth way Heikin Ashi candles do.
Why use this approach
Heikin Ashi color logic filters out noise and helps provide a clearer view of the current trend direction. Since we are still plotting real OHLC candles, we do not lose important price information such as actual highs, lows, or closing prices. This method offers a hybrid view that combines the accuracy of real price levels with the visual benefits of Heikin Ashi trend coloring. It also helps maintain visual consistency for traders who are used to Heikin Ashi signals but want to see real price action.
Advantages for scalping
Scalping requires fast decisions. Even small price noise can lead to hesitation or bad entries. Coloring regular candles based on Heikin Ashi direction helps reduce that noise and makes short-term trends easier to read. It allows for faster confirmation of momentum without switching away from real prices. Since the candles are not modified, scalpers can still place tight stop-losses and targets based on actual price structure. This approach also avoids clutter, keeping the chart clean and focused.
How it works
We calculate the Heikin Ashi values in the background. If the Heikin Ashi close is higher than the Heikin Ashi open, the trend is considered bullish and the candle is colored green. If the close is lower than the open, it is bearish and the candle is red. If they are equal, the candle is gray or neutral. We then use these colors to paint the real OHLC candles, which are unchanged in shape or position.
BTC Markup/Markdown Zones by Koenigsegg📈 BTC Markup/Markdown Zones
A handcrafted indicator designed to mark Bitcoin's most critical High Time Frame (HTF) structure shifts. This tool overlays true institutional-level Markup and Markdown Zones, selected manually after deep market review. Whether you're testing strategies or actively trading, this tool gives you the bigger picture at all times.
🔍 Key Features:
✅ HTF Markup & Markdown Zones
Every zone is manually selected — no indicators, no repainting. Just raw market history and real structure.
✅ Two Display Modes
• Background Zones — soft overlays with low opacity for visual context — with the option to increase opacity manually if desired.
• Start Candle Highlight — sharply highlighted candle marking the final pivot before a macro reversal.
✅ Custom Color Controls (Style Tab)
All visual styling lives in the Style tab, with clearly labeled fields:
• Markup Zone
• Markdown Zone
• Start Candle Highlight Markup
• Start Candle Highlight Markdown
✅ Minimal Input Section
Just one toggle: display mode. Everything else is kept clean and intuitive.
🧠 Purpose:
This script is made for any timeframe:
• Zoom into lower timeframes to know whether you're trading inside a Markup or Markdown
• Use it during strategy testing for true structural awareness
📅 Handpicked Macro Turning Points:
Each zone originates from a manually confirmed candle — the last meaningful candle before a shift in control between bulls and bears:
• FRI 19 AUG 2011 12PM – MARK DOWN
• THU 20 OCT 2011 12AM – MARK UP
• WED 10 APR 2013 12PM – MARK DOWN
• FRI 12 APR 2013 12PM – MARK UP
• SAT 30 NOV 2013 12AM – MARK DOWN
• WED 14 JAN 2015 12PM – MARK UP
• SUN 17 DEC 2017 12PM – MARK DOWN
• SAT 15 DEC 2018 12PM – MARK UP
• WED 14 APR 2021 4AM – MARK DOWN
• TUE 22 JUN 2021 12PM – MARK UP
• WED 10 NOV 2021 12PM – MARK DOWN
• MON 21 NOV 2022 8PM – MARK UP
• THU 14 MAR 2024 4AM – MARK DOWN
• MON 5 AUG 2024 12PM – MARK UP
• MON 20 JAN 2025 4AM – MARK DOWN
💡 Zones are manually updated by me after each new confirmed Markup or Markdown.
🧬 Fractal Structure for MTF Systems
Price is fractal — meaning the same principles of structure repeat across all timeframes. In Version 2, this tool evolves by introducing manually selected sub-zones inside each High Time Frame (HTF) Markup or Markdown. These sub-zones reflect Medium Timeframe (MTF) structure shifts, offering precision for traders who operate on both intraday and swing levels.
This makes the indicator ideal for low timeframe (LTF) Markup/Markdown awareness — whether you're managing 15m entries or building multi-timeframe confluence systems.
No auto-zones. No guesswork. Just clean, intentional structure division within the broader trend, handpicked for maximum clarity and edge.
💡 Pro Tip:
When price is inside a Markup Zone, shorting becomes riskier — you're trading against a macro bullish structure.
When inside a Markdown Zone, longing becomes riskier — you're fighting against confirmed bearish momentum.
Use this tool to stay aligned with the broader move, especially when zoomed into smaller timeframes or managing entries/exits during intraday setups.
📈 Markup Phase – Bullish Sentiment
Definition: A period where price makes higher highs and higher lows — the uptrend is in full force.
Why sentiment is bullish:
- Institutions and smart money are already positioned long.
- Public/institutional demand drives prices up.
- Momentum is supported by positive news, breakouts, and FOMO.
- Higher highs confirm buyers are in control.
📉 Markdown Phase – Bearish Sentiment
Definition: A period where price makes lower lows and lower highs — clear downtrend.
Why sentiment is bearish:
- Distribution has already occurred, and supply outweighs demand.
- Smart money is short or sidelined, waiting for deeper prices.
- Panic selling or trend-following traders add downside momentum.
- Lower lows confirm sellers are in control.
❌ Trading Against the Trend — Consequences:
-Reduced Probability of Success
-You’re fighting the dominant flow. Most participants are pushing in the opposite direction.
-Drawdowns & Stop-Outs
-Countertrend trades often get wicked or flushed before any meaningful move, especially without structure-based entries.
-Low Risk-Reward Ratio
-Trends offer sustained moves. Countertrend trades may have small take-profit zones or chop.
-Mental Drain & Doubt
-Fighting momentum causes anxiety, second-guessing, and emotional reactions.
-Missed Opportunities
-Focusing on fighting the trend makes you blind to the high-probability setups with the trend.
-Increased Transaction Costs
-More stop-outs and re-entries mean more fees, more friction.
-FOMO from Watching the Trend Run
-Entering countertrend means you might watch the trend explode without you.
-Confirmation Bias & Stubbornness
-Countertrend traders often look for reasons to justify staying in the wrong direction — leading to bigger losses.
🧠 Summary
In markup = bulls dominate → you swim with the current.
In markdown = bears dominate → going long is like pushing a rock uphill.
Trading with the trend is not just safer, it's smarter. The edge lives in momentum — not ego.
⚠️ Disclaimer
This indicator is for educational and analytical use only. It is not financial advice and should not be relied on for decision-making without personal analysis.
This is not a predictive tool. No indicator can forecast upcoming price movements.
What you see here is based purely on past market behavior — specifically, historical tops and bottoms that marked the start of confirmed reversals.
This script does not know where the next reversal begins, nor can it determine where a new Markup or Markdown starts or ends. It is designed to provide context, not prediction.
Always trade with responsibility and perform your own due diligence.
OFC - Liquidations ATS editionOFC – Liquidations (ATS-edition)
This indicator detects aggressive position closures and liquidation-style activity using a dynamic, flow-based approach grounded in Volume-to-Open-Interest (VOI) analysis. It identifies sudden surges in executed volume relative to open interest and filters them through adaptive, statistically-driven thresholds.
Built for traders who want to anticipate or confirm market flushes, stop hunts, or trap reversals, the tool supports detection of both long/short closures and optionally position openings — all based on actual order flow dynamics rather than speculative price patterns.
Key Features:
VOI Spike Detection: Identifies rare bursts of volume relative to open interest using percentile and volatility scaling.
Directional Filtering: Uses volume delta to determine whether long or short positions are being flushed.
Adaptive Thresholds: Built-in ATR and standard deviation normalization make the logic self-tuning across assets and timeframes.
Signal Confidence Tiers: Three levels of signal strength help distinguish mild pressure from extreme liquidations.
Opening Detection (Optional): Spot potential position buildups in real time.
Debug Table (Optional): View live stats including VOI, thresholds, and signal proximity.
Ideal Use Cases
Confirmation of liquidation flushes and reversals
Trap identification (long/short bait setups)
Tactical execution timing for breakout retests or exhaustion fades
Scalp filtering in combination with price action or market structure
This tool prioritizes signal quality over quantity, offering a clear edge for traders who rely on actionable flow insights.
No predictions — just real-time evidence of pressure in the tape.
ICT Macro H1"H1 Candle Time Box" is a custom TradingView indicator that highlights a configurable time window surrounding the close of each 1-hour (H1) candle. The indicator draws a transparent box 15 minutes before and after each H1 candle close (by default), helping traders visualize time-based reaction zones.
🔍 Features:
Custom time window: Users can set how many minutes before and after the H1 close the box should appear.
Dynamic positioning: Boxes are drawn slightly above the candles to avoid overlap with price bars.
Live time labels: Each box displays its time range (e.g., "08:45 - 09:15") based on the start and end time of the zone.
Auto-cleaning: Only a limited number of recent boxes (default: 5) are shown, keeping the chart clean.
Requires 1-minute chart for precise timing.
This tool is especially helpful for intraday traders to identify areas of interest or market reactions before and after key hourly closes.

🧬 DNA
This is a fork of LazyBear’s original WaveTrend Oscillator .
The oscillator logic is 100 % intact; I simply stream the values into a compact table so that day- and swing-traders can see the “bigger picture” at a glance.
📈 What does it do?
Calculates WaveTrend on ten granularities: 1m, 3m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 1d, 1w.
Displays the current oscillator print in a color-coded matrix.
• Red = overbought (≥ high threshold)
• Green = oversold (≤ low threshold)
• Gray = neutral / in-range
All thresholds are user-adjustable.
Built on Pine v5, zero repainting, works on any symbol.
🛠 Parameters
Channel Length – WT “n1” (default 10)
Average Length – WT “n2” (default 21)
Red from – overbought cut-off (default +60)
Green under – oversold cut-off (default –60)
🚀 How to use it
1. Apply the indicator to your chart – no extra setup required.
2. Read the matrix top-down before every entry:
• Multiple deep-green rows → market broadly oversold → watch for longs.
• Multiple deep-red rows → market broadly overbought → watch for shorts or stay flat.
3. Combine with your trend filter (EMA-stack, VWAP, structure) to avoid counter-trend trades.
Hippo Battlefield - Bulls VS Bears 20 bars## Hippo Battlefield – Bulls VS Bears (20 Bars)
**What it is**
A multi-dimensional momentum-and-sentiment oscillator that combines classic Bull/Bear Power with ATR- or peak-normalization, then layers on RSI and MACD-derived metrics into:
1. **A colored bar series** showing net Bull+Bear Power strength over the last 20 bars,
2. **A dynamic table** of each of those 20 BBP values (grouped into four 5-bar “quartals”), with symbols, per-bar change, and rolling averages, and
3. **A composite “Weighted BBP” histogram** blending normalized RSI, MACD, and BBP into a single view.
---
### Key Inputs
- **Length (EMA)** – look-back for the underlying EMA (default 60)
- **Normalization Length** – look-back window for peak-normalization (default 60)
- **Use ATR for Norm.** – toggle ATR-based normalization vs. highest-abs(BBP)
- **Show Tables** – toggle the bottom-right 21×11 grid of raw and average BBP values
---
### What You See
#### 1. Colored Bars (Overlay = false)
- Bars are colored by normalized BBP intensity:
- Extreme Bull (≥+10): deep blue
- Strong Bull (+5 to +10): green/yellow
- Weak Bull (+0 to +5): dark green
- Weak Bear (–0 to –5): dark red
- Strong Bear (–5 to –10): pink/red
- Extreme Bear (<–10): magenta
#### 2. Bottom-Right Table (20 Bars of Data)
- Divided into four columns (0–4, 5–9, 10–14, 15–19 bars ago) and one “average” row.
- Each cell shows:
1. Bar index (1–20),
2. Normalized BBP value (to four decimals),
3. Direction symbol (↑/↓/=),
4. Bar-to-bar change (± value),
5. A separator “|”.
- At the very bottom, each column’s 5-bar average is displayed as “Avg: X.XXXX” with a dot marker.
#### 3. Top-Center Mini-Table
- When ≥20 bars have elapsed, shows the date at 20 bars ago and the average BBP across the full 20-bar window.
#### 4. Normalized RSI Line
- Rescales the classic 14-period RSI into a –20…+20 band to align with BBP.
#### 5. MACD Lines (Hidden) & Composite Histogram
- MACD and signal lines are calculated but not plotted by default.
- A “Weighted BBP” histogram combines:
- 20% normalized RSI,
- 20% average of (MACD + signal + normalized BBP),
- 60% normalized BBP
- Plotted as columns, color-coded by strength using the same palette as the main bars.
#### 6. Middle Reference Line
- A horizontal zero line to anchor over/under-zero readings.
---
### How to Use It
- **Trend confirmation**: Strong blue/green bars alongside a rising histogram suggest bull conviction; strong reds/magentas signal bear dominance.
- **Divergence spotting**: Watch for price making new highs/lows while BBP or the histogram fails to follow.
- **Quartal analysis**: The 5-bar group averages can reveal whether recent momentum is accelerating or waning.
- **Cross-indicator weighting**: Because RSI, MACD, and raw BBP all feed into the final histogram, you get a smoothed, blended view of momentum shifts.
---
**Tip:** Tweak the EMA and normalization length to suit your preferred timeframe (e.g. shorter for intraday scalps, longer for swing trades). Enable/disable the table if you prefer a cleaner pane.
My-Indicator - Global Liquidity & Money Supply M2 + Time OffsetThis script is designed to visualize a global liquidity and money supply index by combining data from various regions and, optionally, central bank activity. Visualizing this data on a chart allows you to see how central banks are intervening in the financial system and how the total amount of money in the economy is changing. Let’s take a look at how it works:
Central Bank Liquidity
Shows the actions of central banks (e.g. FED, ECB) providing short-term cash to commercial banks. If you see spikes or a steady increase in these indicators, it may suggest that liquidity is being increased through intervention, which often stimulates the market.
Money Supply
M2 money supply is a monetary aggregate that includes M1 (cash and current deposits) plus savings deposits, small term deposits, and other financial instruments that, while not as liquid as M1, can be quickly converted into cash. As a result, M2 provides a broader picture of the available money in the economy, which is useful for analyzing market conditions and potential economic trends.
How does it help investors?
It allows you to quickly see when central banks are injecting additional liquidity, which could signal higher prices.
It allows you to see trends in the money supply, which informs potential changes in inflation and the economic cycle.
Combining both sets of data provides a more complete picture – both in the short and long term – which makes it easier to predict upcoming price movements.
This allows investors to better respond to changes in central bank policy and broader monetary trends, increasing their chances of making better investment decisions.
Data Collection
The script retrieves money supply data for key markets such as the USA (USM2), Europe (EUM2), China (CNM2), and Japan (JPM2). It also offers additional money supply series for other markets—like Canada (CAM2), Great Britain (GBM2), Russia (RUM2), Brazil (BRM2), Mexico (MXM2), and New Zealand (NZM2)—with extra options (e.g., Australia, India, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Sweden) disabled by default. Moreover, you can enable data for central bank liquidity (such as FED, RRP, TGA, ECB, PBC, BOJ, and other central banks), which are also disabled by default.
Index Calculation
The indicator calculates the index by adding together all the enabled money supply series (and the central bank data if activated) and then scales the sum by dividing it by 1,000,000,000,000 (one trillion). This scaling makes the resulting values more manageable and easier to read on the chart.
Time Offset Feature
A key feature of the script is the time offset. With the input parameter "Time Offset (days)", the user can shift the plotted index line by a specific number of days. The script converts the given offset in days into a number of bars based on the current chart's timeframe. This allows you to adjust for the delay between liquidity changes and their effect on asset prices.
Overall, the indicator plots a line on your chart representing the global liquidity and money supply index, allowing you to visually monitor trends and better understand how liquidity and central bank actions may influence market movements.
What makes this script different from others?
Every supported market—both major regions (USA, Eurozone, China, Japan, etc.) and additional ones—is available. You can toggle each series on or off, so you can view only Money Supply data, only Central Bank Liquidity, or any custom combination.
Separated Data Groups. Inputs are organized into clear groups (“Money Supply”, “Other Money Supply”, “Central Bank Liquidity”), making it easy to focus on just the data you need without clutter.
True Day‑Based Offset. This script converts your chosen “Time Offset (days)” into actual days regardless of timeframe. Whether you’re on a 5‑minute or daily chart, the index is always shifted by exactly the number of days you specify.
Quantum Delta Zones with EnhancementsQuantum Delta Zones (QDZ)
Short Title: QDZ
Overview
The Quantum Delta Zones (QDZ) is a unique technical indicator designed to highlight high-probability order block zones in the market based on a combination of Delta Sensitivity, order block tightness, and volume-based filters.
This indicator helps traders to identify key support and resistance levels (bullish and bearish order blocks) that are backed by strong volume and optimal market structure. It employs advanced zone detection and automatic zone management (box creation and deletion) to enhance trade analysis.
The primary objective of QDZ is to provide clear, visually appealing support/resistance zones while factoring in market order flow dynamics, ensuring that you are trading at optimal levels with confirmed volume behind it.
Key Features
Delta Sensitivity: The indicator uses a body-to-range ratio to assess the "delta" between the body and wick of each candlestick, helping to identify strong order block formations based on market sentiment.
Order Block Tightness: A filter is used to detect small, tight order blocks where price action shows accumulation (small body candles) near high-probability levels.
Projection Distance: The ability to project the detected order block zones into the future, providing an idea of where price might react based on historical price action.
Fade Strength: Allows you to adjust the transparency of the projected zones, giving you visual flexibility depending on how prominent you want these order blocks to appear.
Volume Filter: A high-volume filter ensures that only zones with substantial volume (based on a moving average) are considered for box creation, preventing false signals and low-probability trades.
Auto Box Deletion: When the market invalidates a zone (price moves beyond the zone’s projected area), the boxes are automatically deleted to keep the chart clean.
Alerts: Built-in alerts for when a bullish or bearish order block is detected, providing real-time notifications of significant potential trading opportunities.
How it Works
Step-by-Step Explanation:
Delta Sensitivity:
A candlestick is considered "Bullish" if the closing price is above the opening price and the body-to-range ratio is above the user-defined delta Sensitivity.
A candlestick is considered "Bearish" if the closing price is below the opening price with the same body-to-range ratio criteria.
Order Block Tightness:
The indicator looks for tight order blocks, where the body-to-range ratio is below the orderBlock Tightness setting, indicating small candles that may represent accumulation or distribution zones.
Volume Filter:
The indicator applies a filter to check if the volume is above the 50-period simple moving average (SMA) and multiplied by the user-defined volume Multiplier. Only zones with sufficient volume are considered.
Box Creation:
Once a valid order block is detected, the corresponding bullish or bearish box is drawn on the chart. These boxes extend forward by the number of bars specified by projection Bars.
Box Deletion:
If the price moves against the order block (for example, if a bullish box is invalidated when the price closes below its bottom), the box is automatically deleted to keep your chart uncluttered.
Alert System:
Alerts can be set for both bullish and bearish order block detection, notifying traders of the formation of a potential market opportunity.
Inputs / Settings
Delta Sensitivity: The ratio between the candlestick body and its range. Higher values mean stronger bullish/bearish pressure is required to trigger the order block detection.
Order Block Tightness: Defines how tight or small an order block should be to qualify for detection. Smaller values are more sensitive to smaller candlesticks.
Projection Distance: The number of bars into the future that the identified order block should be projected. Useful for seeing potential future support/resistance zones.
Fade Strength: Defines the transparency level of the order block boxes. Higher values result in more transparent boxes, lower values make the boxes more opaque.
Auto Delete: Automatically deletes order blocks if they are invalidated by price action.
Volume Filter: When enabled, only order blocks formed with higher-than-average volume will be considered. This helps eliminate low-probability signals.
Volume Multiplier: Multiplies the average volume by this factor to determine whether the current volume qualifies as "high" for an order block detection.
Visuals
Bullish Order Block: A green box is drawn when a bullish order block is detected. The box is projected forward based on the projection Bars setting.
Bearish Order Block: A red box is drawn when a bearish order block is detected. Similar to the bullish box, it is projected forward.
Fading: Both bullish and bearish boxes fade based on the fade Strength, making the most recent zones more visible while fading out older, less relevant zones.
How to Use in Trading
Bullish Order Block:
A bullish order block is a potential buy area. Once price retraces to the bottom of a detected bullish box, traders may consider it a buy zone, especially if it aligns with other technical factors (e.g., support, trend).
Bearish Order Block:
A bearish order block is a potential sell area. Once price retraces to the top of a detected bearish box, traders may consider it a sell zone, particularly in downtrends or near resistance.
Risk Management:
The projection Bars setting helps to set a clear projection distance. Traders should use their own risk management strategies, such as stop-loss placements below/above the order block zones, and take-profit levels based on market conditions.
Volume Confirmation:
The Volume Filter can be very useful for confirming order blocks. Trading only when an order block is accompanied by high volume ensures the zone has institutional or market-maker backing.
Box Deletion:
The Auto Delete feature automatically removes invalidated zones, keeping the chart clean and preventing you from trading out-of-date or broken levels.
Trading Strategy Example
Bullish Setup:
Look for a bullish order block (green box) formed after price has been trending down and volume is high.
Wait for price to retrace back into the order block zone.
Enter long at the bottom of the order block when price shows signs of support (e.g., bullish candlestick pattern).
Set stop-loss below the bottom of the order block and a take-profit target at a significant resistance level.
Bearish Setup:
Look for a bearish order block (red box) formed after price has been trending up and volume is high.
Wait for price to retrace back into the order block zone.
Enter short at the top of the order block when price shows signs of resistance (e.g., bearish candlestick pattern).
Set stop-loss above the top of the order block and a take-profit target at a significant support level.
Limitations
The QDZ indicator is based on historical price action, and while it is designed to identify areas of strong market participation, it does not guarantee future price behavior.
Traders should always combine this indicator with other technical analysis tools, such as trend analysis, oscillators, or fundamental factors, to improve their decision-making process.
Conclusion
The Quantum Delta Zones (QDZ) indicator is a powerful tool for traders looking to pinpoint high-probability order blocks that are backed by volume and strong market dynamics.
It integrates well with existing trading strategies by providing clear, actionable zones of support and resistance, while also offering advanced features like fade strength, auto-deletion, and volume filters.
Whether you're trading intraday or longer-term, this tool can be an essential part of your trading toolbox.
This is an educational idea, trade at your own desecration.
Regards.
