Stop Cascade Detector Stop Cascade Detector (DAFE)
Unlock the Hidden Triggers of Market Momentum!
The Stop Cascade Detector (Bull & Bear, Info Bubble) is a next-generation tool designed for traders who want to see what the crowd can’t: the precise moments when clusters of stop orders are being triggered, unleashing explosive moves in either direction. The reason for this is traders taking there position too early. We on the other hand will take our positions once the less informed traders have been liquidated.
What Makes This Indicator Unique?
Not Just Another Volatility Tool:
This script doesn’t just measure volatility or volume. It detects the chain reactions that occur when price and volume spikes combine to trigger stop-loss clusters—events that often precede the most powerful surges and reversals in any market.
Directional Intelligence:
Unlike generic “spike” detectors, this tool distinguishes between bullish stop cascades (green, above the bar) and bearish stop cascades (red, below the bar), giving you instant clarity on which side of the market is being liquidated.
Visual Precision:
Each event is marked with a color-coded info bubble and a triangle, clearly separated from the price bars for maximum readability. No more guessing where the action is—see it, trade it, and stay ahead.
Universal Application:
Works on any asset, any timeframe, and in any market—futures, stocks, crypto, forex. If there are stops, this indicator will find the cascade.
What makes it work?
Momentum + Volume Spike:
The detector identifies bars where both price momentum and volume are simultaneously extreme (using Z-scores). This combination is a classic signature of stop runs and forced liquidations.
Bull & Bear Detection:
Bull Stop Cascade : Price plunges downward with a volume spike—likely longs getting stopped out.
Bear Stop Cascade: Price surges upward with a volume spike—likely shorts getting stopped out.
Info Bubbles:
Each event is labeled with the exact Z-scores for momentum and volume, so you can gauge the intensity of the cascade at a glance.
What will it do for you?
Front-Run the Crowd:
Most traders react after the move. This tool helps you spot the cause of the move—giving you a tactical edge to fade exhaustion, ride momentum, or avoid getting trapped.
Perfect for Scalpers, Day Traders, and Swing Traders:
Whether you’re looking for high-probability reversals or want to ride the wave, knowing when stops are being triggered is a game-changer.
No More Blind Spots:
Stop cascades are the hidden fuel behind many of the market’s biggest moves. Now you can see them in real time.
How to Use
Red Bubble Above Bar: Bear stop cascade detected—watch for possible trend acceleration or reversal.
Green Bubble Below Bar: Bull stop cascade detected—watch for possible trend acceleration or reversal.
Combine with Your Strategy : Use as a confirmation tool, a reversal signal, or a filter for high-volatility environments. Level up your trading. See the market’s hidden triggers.
Stop Cascade Detector: Because the real edge is knowing what sets the market on fire.

Retail Pain Index (RPIx) (RPIx) Retail Pain Index (DAFE)
See the Market’s Pain. Trade the Edge.
The Retail Pain Index (RPIx) is a next-generation volatility and sentiment tool designed to reveal the hidden moments when retail traders are most likely being squeezed, stopped out, or forced to capitulate. This is not just another oscillator—it’s a behavioral market scanner that quantifies “pain” as price rips away from the average entry zone, often marking the fuel for the next big move.
Why is RPIx so Unique?
Behavioral Volatility Engine:
RPIx doesn’t just track price or volume. It measures how far price is moving away from where the crowd has recently entered (using a rolling VWAP average), then normalizes this “distance” into a Z-score. The result? You see when the market is inflicting maximum pain on the most participants.
Dynamic, Intuitive Coloring:
The main RPIx line is purple in normal conditions, but instantly turns red when pain is extreme to the upside (+2.00 or higher) and green when pain is extreme to the downside (-2.00 or lower). This makes it visually obvious when the market is entering a “max pain” regime.
Threshold Lines for Clarity:
Dashed red and green lines at +2.00 and -2.00 Z-score levels make it easy to spot rare, high-pain events at a glance.
Signature Dashboard & Info Line:
Dashboard: A compact, toggleable panel in the top right of the indicator pane shows the current Z-score, threshold, and status—perfect for desktop users who want a quick read on market stress.
Info Line: For mobile or minimalist traders, a single-line info label gives you the essentials without cluttering your screen.
Inputs & Customization
Entry Cluster Lookback: Adjusts how many bars are used to calculate the “entry zone” (VWAP average). A higher value smooths the signal, a lower value makes it more responsive.
Pain Z-Score Threshold:
Sets the sensitivity for what counts as “extreme pain.” Default is ±2.00, but you can fine-tune this to match your asset’s volatility or your own risk appetite.
Show Dashboard / Show Compact Info Label:
Toggle these features on or off to fit your workflow and screen size.
How to utilize RPIx's awesomeness:
Extreme Readings = Opportunity:
When RPIx spikes above +2.00 (red) or below -2.00 (green), the market is likely running stops, liquidating weak hands, or forcing retail traders to capitulate. These moments often precede sharp reversals, trend accelerations, or volatility expansions.
Combine with Price Action:
Use RPIx as a confirmation tool for your existing strategy, or as a standalone alert for “pain points” where the crowd is most vulnerable.
Visual Edge:
The color-coded line and threshold levels make it easy to spot regime shifts and rare events—no more squinting at numbers or guessing when the market is about to snap.
Why RPIx?
Works on Any Asset, Any Timeframe:
Stocks, futures, crypto, forex—if there’s a crowd, there’s pain, and RPIx will find it.
Behavioral Alpha:
Most indicators lag. RPIx quantifies the psychological stress in the market, giving you a real-time edge over the herd.
Customizable, Clean, and Powerful:
Designed for both power users and mobile traders, with toggles for every workflow.
See the pain. Trade the edge.
Retail Pain Index: Because the market’s next move is written in the crowd’s discomfort.

Horizontal ATR Lines – Last Candle OnlyThis indicator plots four horizontal lines based on the ATR (Average True Range) from the last closed candle of a user-selected timeframe. It helps traders visualize dynamic support and resistance zones relative to recent volatility.
What it does:
Calculates ±1x ATR and ±X ATR levels from the close of the most recently closed candle (e.g., Daily, 4H, etc.).
Draws four horizontal lines:
Close + 1x ATR
Close - 1x ATR
Close + X ATR
Close - X ATR
Each line includes a small label showing the multiplier and the exact price (e.g., "+1 ATR @ 4321.50").
Labels are positioned to the right side of each line for clarity.
Lines and labels update automatically once a new bar forms.
How to use it:
Use these dynamic levels as reference points for:
Volatility-based support/resistance
Entry/exit zones
Risk management
Set the ATR timeframe and multiplier values to match your strategy.
Inputs:
ATR length
Timeframe source for ATR and close
Two multipliers (e.g., 1x and 1.5x)
Custom colors for each ATR group
This tool is best suited for intraday, swing, or multi-timeframe analysis where volatility context is essential.
Deviation over Deviation (DoD) (DAFE) Deviation over Deviation (DoD)
Let’s call it out: The vast majority of “volatility” tools on TradingView are just new wrappers on old math—ATR, bands, and basic deviation, all chasing the same tired after-the-fact moves. They’re built to describe the aftermath, not the ignition. If you’re still relying on these, you’re trading in the rearview mirror while the real edge is already gone. That’s not our game, and it shouldn’t be yours.
Deviation over Deviation (DoD) is built for one purpose:
To expose the hidden regime shifts—the moments when volatility itself becomes volatile, when the market’s “normal” deviation is no longer normal, and when the next move is about to erupt. This isn’t just another overlay. This is a quant-grade anomaly detector, engineered to show you the probability surface before the crowd even knows it’s changed.
What sets this apart:
Deviation over Deviation (DoD):
Not just “how much did price move,” but “how unusual is the current volatility compared to its own history?” This is the Z-score of Z-scores—a true rarity detector for market stress, lull, or impending breakout.
VoVix Integration:
Select VoVix as your source and you’re not just tracking price, but the volatility of volatility—the same math that powers institutional regime models. This is the edge that front-runs the move, not follows it.
Multi-Timeframe Comparative Engine:
Instantly compare current and higher timeframe DoD Z-scores. See when the micro and macro regimes align—or when they’re about to collide.
Professional, Adaptive Dashboard:
No cosmetic fluff, always showing you the real quant state: current DoD Z, HTF DoD Z, and regime warnings. Every color, every plot, every signal is a direct function of the logic—no distractions, no lag.
How this destroys the lag:
Standard deviation, ATR, and “volatility bands” are always late. They tell you what just happened. DoD and VoVix show you when the nature of volatility itself is changing—when the market is about to leave the old regime behind. This is the difference between trading the past and trading the future.
Inputs/Signals—explained for clarity:
Deviation Lookback & DoD Lookback:
Control the sensitivity and selectivity of the regime detector. Shorter = more signals, longer = only the rarest events.
Source Selection:
Choose from price, volume, volatility, or VoVix. Each source gives you a different lens on market stress. VoVix is for those who want to see the “regime quake” before the aftershocks.
HTF (Comparative Timeframe):
Set your higher timeframe for macro regime confirmation. When both DoD Z-scores align, you’re seeing a true market inflection.
VoVix Parameters:
Fine-tune the volatility-of-volatility engine for your market. Lower ATR Fast = more responsive; higher ATR Slow = more selective. Adjust for your asset, your timeframe, your edge.
Bottom line:
This isn’t just another “volatility” script. This is a regime anomaly detector, built for traders who want to anticipate, not react. Every input is there for a reason. Every plot is a direct readout of the quant logic. Use it to filter your entries, to time your exits, or to simply see the market’s hidden structure in real time.

Anchored Probability Cone by TenozenFirst of all, credit to @nasu_is_gaji for the open source code of Log-Normal Price Forecast! He teaches me alot on how to use polylines and inverse normal distribution from his indicator, so check it out!
What is this indicator all about?
This indicator draws a probability cone that visualizes possible future price ranges with varying levels of statistical confidence using Inverse Normal Distribution , anchored to the start of a selected timeframe (4h, W, M, etc.)
Feutures:
Anchored Cone: Forecasts begin at the first bar of each chosen higher timeframe, offering a consistent point for analysis.
Drift & Volatility-Based Forecast: Uses log returns to estimate market volatility (smoothed using VWMA) and incorporates a trend angle that users can set manually.
Probabilistic Price Bands: Displays price ranges with 5 customizable confidence levels (e.g., 30%, 68%, 87%, 99%, 99,9%).
Dynamic Updating: Recalculates and redraws the cone at the start of each new anchor period.
How to use:
Choose the Anchored Timeframe (PineScript only be able to forecast 500 bars in the future, so if it doesn't plot, try adjusting to a lower anchored period).
You can set the Model Length, 100 sample is the default. The higher the sample size, the higher the bias towards the overall volatility. So better set the sample size in a balanced manner.
If the market is inside the 30% conifidence zone (gray color), most likely the market is sideways. If it's outside the 30% confidence zone, that means it would tend to trend and reach the other probability levels.
Always follow the trend, don't ever try to trade mean reversions if you don't know what you're doing, as mean reversion trades are riskier.
That's all guys! I hope this indicator helps! If there's any suggestions, I'm open for it! Thanks and goodluck on your trading journey!

Mathematics is a field of study that discovers and organizes methods, theories and theorems that are developed and proved for the needs of empirical sciences and mathematics itself. There are many areas of mathematics, which include number theory (the study of numbers), algebra (the study of formulas and related structures), geometry (the study of shapes and spaces that contain them), analysis (the study of continuous changes), and set theory (presently used as a foundation for all mathematics).
Mathematics involves the description and manipulation of abstract objects that consist of either abstractions from nature or—in modern mathematics—purely abstract entities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. Mathematics uses pure reason to prove properties of objects, a proof consisting of a succession of applications of deductive rules to already established results. These results include previously proved theorems, axioms, and—in case of abstraction from nature—some basic properties that are considered true starting points of the theory under consideration.
Mathematics is essential in the natural sciences, engineering, medicine, finance, computer science, and the social sciences. Although mathematics is extensively used for modeling phenomena, the fundamental truths of mathematics are independent of any scientific experimentation. Some areas of mathematics, such as statistics and game theory, are developed in close correlation with their applications and are often grouped under applied mathematics. Other areas are developed independently from any application (and are therefore called pure mathematics) but often later find practical applications.
Historically, the concept of a proof and its associated mathematical rigour first appeared in Greek mathematics, most notably in Euclid's Elements. Since its beginning, mathematics was primarily divided into geometry and arithmetic (the manipulation of natural numbers and fractions), until the 16th and 17th centuries, when algebra and infinitesimal calculus were introduced as new fields. Since then, the interaction between mathematical innovations and scientific discoveries has led to a correlated increase in the development of both. At the end of the 19th century, the foundational crisis of mathematics led to the systematization of the axiomatic method, which heralded a dramatic increase in the number of mathematical areas and their fields of application. The contemporary Mathematics Subject Classification lists more than sixty first-level areas of mathematics.
(DAFE) DEVMA - Crossover (Deviation Moving Average) (DAFE) DEVMA - Crossover (Deviation Moving Average)
Let’s keep pushing the edge. After the breakthrough of Deviation over Deviation (DoD)—which gave traders a true lens into volatility’s hidden regime shifts—many asked: “What’s next?” The answer is DEVMA: a crossover engine built not on price, but on the heartbeat of the market itself.
Why is this different?
DEVMA isn’t just a moving average crossover. It’s a regime detector that tracks the expansion and contraction of deviation—giving you a real-time readout of when the market’s energy is about to shift. This is the next step for anyone who wants to anticipate volatility, not just react to it.
What sets DEVMA apart:
Volatility-First Logic:Both fast and slow lines are moving averages of deviation, not price. You’re tracking the market’s “energy,” not just its direction. This is the quant edge that most scripts miss.
Regime-Colored Lines:
The fast and slow DEVMA lines change color in real time—green/aqua for expansion, maroon/orange for contraction—so you can see regime shifts at a glance.
Quant-Pro Visuals:
Subtle glow, clean cross markers, and a minimalist dashboard keep your focus on what matters: the regime, not the noise.
Static Regime Thresholds:
Reference lines at 1.5 and 0.5 (custom colors) give you instant context for “normal” vs. “extreme” volatility states.
No Price Chasing:
This isn’t about following price. It’s about anticipating the next volatility regime—before the crowd even knows what’s coming.
How this builds on DoD:
DoD showed you when volatility itself was about to change. DEVMA takes that insight and turns it into a crossover engine—so you can see, filter, and act on regime shifts in real time. If DoD was the radar, DEVMA is the navigation system.
Inputs/Signals—explained for clarity:
Deviation Lookback:
Controls the sensitivity of the regime detector. Shorter = more signals, longer = only the rarest events.
Fast/Slow DEVMA Lengths:
Fine-tune how quickly the regime lines react. Fast for scalping, slow for swing trading.
Source Selection:
Choose from price, volume, volatility, or VoVix. Each source gives you a different lens on market stress. VoVix is for those who want to see the “regime quake” before the aftershocks.
VoVix Parameters:
Fine-tune the volatility-of-volatility engine for your market. Lower ATR Fast = more responsive; higher ATR Slow = more selective.
Bottom line:
DEVMA is for those who want to see the market’s heartbeat, not just its shadow. Use it to filter your trades, time your entries, or simply understand the market’s true rhythm. Every input is there for a reason. Every plot is a direct readout of the quant logic. Use with discipline, and make it your own.

Adaptive Hurst Exponent Regime FilterAdaptive Hurst Exponent Regime Filter (AHERF)
█ OVERVIEW
The Adaptive Hurst Exponent Regime Filter (AHERF) is designed to identify the prevailing market regime—be it Trending, Mean-Reverting, or a Random Walk/Transition phase. While the Hurst Exponent is a well-known tool for this purpose, AHERF introduces a key innovation: an adaptive threshold . Instead of relying solely on the traditional fixed 0.5 Hurst value, this indicator's threshold dynamically adjusts based on current market volatility, aiming to provide more nuanced and responsive regime classifications.
This tool can assist traders in:
Gauging the current character of the market.
Tailoring trading strategies to the identified regime (e.g., deploying trend-following systems in Trending markets or mean-reversion tactics in Mean-Reverting conditions).
Filtering out trades that may be counterproductive to the dominant market behavior.
█ HOW IT WORKS
The indicator operates through the following key calculations:
1. Hurst Exponent Calculation:
The script computes an approximate Hurst Exponent (H). It utilizes log price changes as its input series.
The `calculateHurst` function implements a variance scaling approach:
It defines three sub-periods based on the main `Hurst Lookback Period`.
It calculates the standard deviation of the input series over these sub-periods.
The Hurst Exponent is then estimated from the slope of a log-log regression between the standard deviations and their respective sub-period lengths. A simplified calculation using the first and last sub-periods is performed: `H = (log(StdDev3) - log(StdDev1)) / (log(N3) - log(N1))`.
Theoretically, a Hurst Exponent:
H > 0.5 suggests persistence (trending behavior).
H < 0.5 suggests anti-persistence (mean-reverting behavior).
H ≈ 0.5 suggests a random walk (unpredictable movement).
Pine Script® Snippet (Hurst Calculation Call):
float logPriceChange = math.log(close) - math.log(close );
// ... ensure logPriceChange is not na on first bar ...
float hurstValue = calculateHurst(logPriceChange, hurstLookbackInput);
2. Volatility Proxy Calculation:
To enable the adaptive nature of the threshold, a volatility proxy is calculated.
Users can select the `Volatility Metric` to be either:
Average True Range (ATR), normalized by the closing price.
Standard Deviation (StdDev) of simple price returns.
This proxy quantifies the current degree of price activity or fluctuation in the market.
Pine Script® Snippet (Volatility Proxy Call):
float volatilityProxy = getVolatilityProxy(volatilityMetricInput, volatilityLookbackInput);
3. Adaptive Threshold Calculation:
This is the core of AHERF's adaptability. Instead of a static 0.5 line as the sole determinant, the script computes a dynamic threshold.
The adaptive threshold is calculated as: `0.5 + (Threshold Sensitivity * Volatility Proxy)`.
This means the threshold starts at the baseline 0.5 level and then adjusts upwards or downwards based on the current `volatilityProxy` scaled by the `Threshold Sensitivity (k)` input.
Pine Script® Snippet (Adaptive Threshold Calculation):
float adaptiveThreshold = 0.5 + sensitivityInput * nz(volatilityProxy, 0.0);
4. Regime Identification:
The prevailing market regime is determined by comparing the `hurstValue` to this `adaptiveThreshold`, incorporating a `Threshold Buffer` to reduce noise and clearly delineate zones:
Trending: `hurstValue > adaptiveThreshold + bufferInput`
Mean-Reverting: `hurstValue < adaptiveThreshold - bufferInput`
Random/Transition: Otherwise (Hurst value is within the buffer zone around the adaptive threshold).
Pine Script® Snippet (Regime Determination Logic):
if not na(hurstValue) and not na(adaptiveThreshold)
if hurstValue > adaptiveThreshold + bufferInput
currentRegimeColor := TRENDING_COLOR
regimeText := "Trending"
else if hurstValue < adaptiveThreshold - bufferInput
currentRegimeColor := MEAN_REVERTING_COLOR
regimeText := "Mean-Reverting"
// else remains Random/Transition
█ HOW TO USE IT
Interpreting the Visuals:
Observe the plotted `Hurst Exponent (H)` line (White) relative to the `Adaptive Threshold` line (Orange).
The background color provides an immediate indication of the current regime: Green for Trending, Red for Mean-Reverting, and Gray for Random/Transition.
The fixed `0.5 Level` (Dashed Gray) is plotted for reference against traditional Hurst interpretation.
Labels "T", "M", and "R" appear below bars to signal new entries into Trending, Mean-Reverting, or Random/Transition regimes, respectively.
Inputs Customization:
Hurst Exponent Calculation
Hurst Lookback Period: Defines the number of bars used for the Hurst Exponent calculation. Longer periods generally yield smoother Hurst values, reflecting longer-term market memory. Shorter periods are more responsive.
Adaptive Threshold Settings
Volatility Metric: Choose "ATR" or "StdDev" to drive the adaptive threshold. Experiment to see which best suits the asset.
Volatility Lookback: The lookback period for the selected volatility metric.
Threshold Sensitivity (k): A crucial multiplier determining how strongly volatility influences the adaptive threshold. Higher values mean volatility has a greater impact, potentially widening or shifting the regime bands more significantly.
Threshold Buffer: Creates a neutral zone around the adaptive threshold. This helps prevent overly frequent regime shifts due_to minor Hurst fluctuations.
█ ORIGINALITY AND USEFULNESS
The AHERF indicator distinguishes itself by:
Implementing an adaptive threshold mechanism for Hurst Exponent analysis. This threshold dynamically responds to changes in market volatility, offering a more flexible approach than a fixed 0.5 reference, potentially leading to more contextually relevant regime detection.
Providing clear, at-a-glance visualization of market regimes through background coloring and distinct plot shapes.
Offering user-configurable parameters for both the Hurst calculation and the adaptive threshold components, allowing for tuning across various assets and timeframes.
Traders can leverage AHERF to better align their chosen strategies with the prevailing market character, potentially enhancing trade filtering and decision-making processes.
█ VISUALIZATION
The indicator plots the following in a separate pane:
Hurst Exponent (H): A white line representing the calculated Hurst value.
Adaptive Threshold: An orange line representing the dynamic threshold.
Fixed 0.5 Level: A dashed gray horizontal line for traditional Hurst reference.
Background Color: Changes based on the identified regime:
Green: Trending regime.
Red: Mean-Reverting regime.
Gray: Random/Transition regime.
Regime Entry Shapes: Plotted below the price bars (forced overlay for visibility):
"T" (Green Label): Signals entry into a Trending regime.
"M" (Teal Label): Signals entry into a Mean-Reverting regime.
"R" (Cyan Label): Signals entry into a Random/Transition regime.
█ ALERTS
The script provides alert conditions for changes in the market regime:
Regime Shift to Trending: Triggers when the Hurst Exponent crosses above the adaptive threshold into a Trending state.
Regime Shift to Mean-Reverting: Triggers when the Hurst Exponent crosses below the adaptive threshold into a Mean-Reverting state.
Regime Shift to Random/Transition: Triggers when the Hurst Exponent enters the Random/Transition zone around the adaptive threshold.
These can be configured directly from the TradingView alerts panel.
█ NOTES & DISCLAIMERS
The Hurst Exponent calculation is an approximation; various methods exist, each with its nuances.
The performance and relevance of the identified regimes can differ across financial instruments and timeframes. Parameter tuning is recommended.
This indicator is intended as a decision-support tool and should not be the sole basis for trading decisions. Always integrate its signals within a broader analytical framework.
Past performance of any trading system or indicator, including those derived from AHERF, is not indicative of future results.

Macd, Wt Cross & HVPMacd Wt Cross & HVP – Advanced Multi-Signal Indicator
This script is a custom-designed multi-signal indicator that brings together three proven concepts to provide a complete view of market momentum, reversals, and volatility build-ups. It is built for traders who want to anticipate key market moves, not just react to them.
Why This Combination ?
While each tool has its strengths, their combined use creates powerful signal confluence.
Instead of juggling multiple indicators separately, this script synchronizes three key perspectives into a single, intuitive display—helping you trade with greater clarity and confidence.
1. MACD Histogram – Momentum and Trend Clarity
At the core of the indicator is the MACD histogram, calculated as the difference between two exponential moving averages (EMAs).
Color-coded bars represent momentum direction and intensity:
Green / blue bars: bullish momentum
Red / pink bars: bearish momentum
Color intensity shows acceleration or weakening of trend.
This visual makes it easy to detect trend shifts and momentum divergence at a glance.
2. WT Cross Signals – Early Reversal Detection
Overlaid on the histogram are green and red dots, based on the logic of the WaveTrend oscillator cross:
Green dots = potential bullish cross (buy signal)
Red dots = potential bearish cross (sell signal)
These signals are helpful for identifying reversal points during both trending and ranging phases.
3. Historical Volatility Percentile (HVP) – Volatility Compression Zones
Behind the histogram, purple vertical zones highlight periods of low historical volatility, based on the HVP:
When volatility compresses below a specific threshold, these zones appear.
Such periods are often followed by explosive price moves, making them prime areas for pre-breakout positioning.
By integrating HVP, the script doesn’t just tell you where the trend is—it tells you when the trend is likely to erupt.
How to Use This Script
Use the MACD histogram to confirm the dominant trend and its strength.
Watch for WT Cross dots as potential entry/exit signals in alignment or divergence with the MACD.
Monitor HVP purple zones as warnings of incoming volatility expansions—ideal moments to prepare for breakout trades.
Best results occur when all three elements align, offering a high-probability trade setup.
What Makes This Script Original?
Unlike many mashups, this script was not created by simply merging indicators. Each component was carefully integrated to serve a specific, complementary purpose:
MACD detects directional bias
WT Cross adds precision timing
HVP anticipates volatility-based breakout timing
This results in a strategic tool for traders, useful on multiple timeframes and adaptable to different trading styles (trend-following, breakout, swing).

Harmony in Havoc - The Entropy of VoVix Harmony in Havoc – The Entropy of VoVix
There are moments in the market when chaos and order are not opposites, but partners in a dance.
Harmony in Havoc is not just an indicator—it’s a window into that dance.
Most tools try to tame the market by smoothing it, boxing it in, or chasing after what’s already happened. This script does the opposite: it listens for the music beneath the noise, the rare moments when volatility and unpredictability align, and the market’s next movement is about to begin.
What is Harmony in Havoc?
VoVix Spike:
The pulse of volatility-of-volatility. Not just how much the market is moving, but how violently its own heartbeat is changing.
Entropy:
A real-time measure of surprise. When entropy is high, the market is not just moving—it’s breaking its own patterns, rewriting its own rules.
Progression Bar & Status:
The yellow bar is your visual gauge of tension. As it fills, the market is winding up.
Wait: The world is calm.
Get ready!: The storm is building.
Take Action!!: The probability of a regime eruption is at its peak.
Yellow Background:
When the background glows, the market is at its most unstable—this is not a buy or sell signal, but a quant alert.
How does it work?
Every tick, Harmony in Havoc measures the distance between the market’s current volatility and its own unpredictability. When the VoVix spike approaches or exceeds the entropy threshold, the system knows:
“This is the moment when the improbable becomes possible.”
Why is this different?
It doesn’t tell you what to do.
It doesn’t chase price.
It doesn’t care about trends, bands, or the past.
Instead, it gives you a quantitative sense of anticipation—a way to see when the market is most likely to break from its own history, and when the edge is at its sharpest.
How to use it:
Watch for the yellow background and “Take Action!!” status.
Use it as a regime filter, a volatility dashboard, or a warning system for your own strategies.
Tune the inputs for your asset and timeframe—make it your own.
Inputs—explained for you:
VoVix Fast/Slow ATR & Stdev:
Control how sensitive the system is to volatility shocks. Lower = more signals, higher = only the rarest events.
Entropy Window & Bins:
Control how “surprised” the entropy engine is by current volatility. Shorter window = more responsive, more bins = finer detail.
Show/Hide Controls:
Toggle the VoVix spike, entropy line, and their glows to customize your visual experience.
Bottom line:
This is not a buy or sell script.
This is a quant regime detector for those who want to feel the market’s tension—to sense when harmony and havoc are about to collide.

Trend Volatility Index (TVI)Trend Volatility Index (TVI)
A robust nonparametric oscillator for structural trend volatility detection
⸻
What is this?
TVI is a volatility oscillator designed to measure the strength and emergence of price trends using nonparametric statistics.
It calculates a U-statistic based on the Gini mean difference across multiple simple moving averages.
This allows for objective, robust, and unbiased quantification of trend volatility in tick-scale values.
⸻
What can it do?
• Quantify trend strength as a continuous value aligned with tick price scale
• Detect trend breakouts and volatility expansions
• Identify range-bound market states
• Detect early signs of new trends with minimal lag
⸻
What can’t it do?
• Predict future price levels
• Predict trend direction before confirmation
⸻
How it works
TVI computes a nonparametric dispersion metric (Gini mean difference) from multiple SMAs of different lengths.
As this metric shares the same dimension as price ticks, it can be directly interpreted on the chart as a volatility gauge.
The output is plotted using candlestick-style charts to enhance visibility of change rate and trend behavior.
⸻
Disclaimer
TVI does not predict price. It is a structural indicator designed to support discretionary judgment.
Trading carries inherent risk, and this tool does not guarantee profitability. Use at your own discretion.
⸻
Innovation
This indicator introduces a novel approach to trend volatility by applying U-statistics over time series
to produce a nonparametric, unbiased, and robust estimate of structural volatility.

Regime Scope | mad_tiger_slayerRegimeScope by mad_tiger_slayer
Adapt to the Market’s Mood. Trade in Sync with Regime Scope.
Overview
Regime Scope is an advanced multi-factor market regime identifier meticulously engineered to determine whether an asset is exhibiting trending behavior (Markup/Markdown phases) or mean-reverting dynamics (Sideways - Accumulation/Distribution). By integrating and synthesizing outputs from nine rigorously chosen statistical and volatility-based models, this tool offers a unified framework for assessing regime conditions with precision.
This indicator is best used in conjunction with other tools in your trading arsenal—serving not as a standalone signal generator, but as a high-value filter for confluence and strategic alignment. Whether you're trading breakouts, reversals, or mean-reversion setups, Regime Scope can elevate your system’s contextual awareness and execution timing.
How It Works – Part 1
Regime Scope calculates a composite "regime score" by normalizing and averaging a range of volatility and statistical measures. This score, which ranges between -1 and +1, indicates the likelihood of the market being in a trending versus mean-reverting state.
Values near +1 suggest a strong trending environment.
Values near -1 suggest strong mean-reversion (sideways, volatile) conditions.
Values between -0.30 and +0.30 are considered neutral and indicate choppy or range-bound market behavior.
When the average regime score crosses above the upper threshold, the asset likely enters a trending state.
When it crosses below the lower threshold, the market likely shifts to a volatile, mean-reverting state.
The histogram and dynamic background color provide an intuitive visual guide to the current regime.
How It Works – Part 2: Components
Each of the following sub-models has been carefully selected for its contribution to understanding price behavior. All components are normalized to create a consistent, unified score:
Phillips-Perron Test: Detects the presence of a unit root to infer stationarity and mean-reverting characteristics.
Hurst Exponent: Measures long-term memory in a time series to identify persistence or anti-persistence.
KPSS Test: Tests for level stationarity to contrast against unit-root behavior and validate trending assumptions.
GARCH Volatility: Captures volatility clustering and regime shifts in conditional variance.
Wavelet Transform: Decomposes price action into time-frequency space to extract non-linear and localized dynamics.
Half-Life of Mean Reversion: Estimates the speed at which price returns to its mean, enhancing the timing of reversion plays.
Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) Test: Statistically verifies whether a series exhibits mean-reverting tendencies.
Garman-Klass-Yang-Zhang Volatility: A robust historical volatility measure using open-high-low-close data.
ADX (Average Directional Index): A classic technical tool for quantifying the strength of trend directionality.
How It Works – Part 3: Output Interpretation
All sub-models are normalized and synthesized into a single histogram plot shown in the lower chart panel.
+1.0 to +0.30: Indicates high probability of a directional, trending market.
-1.0 to -0.30: Indicates high probability of a sideways, mean-reverting regime.
-0.30 to +0.30: Suggests a neutral, uncertain market condition.
Transitions above or below these thresholds signal regime shifts.
Background shading adapts in real-time to visually reflect regime classification.
Features
Customizable thresholds to fine-tune sensitivity for regime classification.
Visual overlay positioning (choose from top-left, bottom-right, etc.).
Toggleable reference lines for regime thresholds.
Cross-timeframe consistency through dynamic normalization.
Each sub-model includes adjustable settings for personalized optimization.
Use Cases
Dynamically switch between trend-following and mean-reversion strategies.
Filter out choppy, low-probability zones by avoiding neutral regime periods.
Use regime score as confluence with entry/exit signals from other indicators.
Adapt strategies across timeframes—works well from scalping to swing trading.
Best used on timeframes ≥12H for macro regime context, but scalpers can benefit by using it on shorter windows with tuned parameters.
Scalping Use Case
Overlay the regime score on low timeframes (e.g., 1m–15m) and use it to avoid high chop zones or confirm breakout volume spikes during trending periods.
Long-Term Use Case
On 1D–1W charts, Regime Scope can filter false breakouts and confirm macro trend alignment for position trades or swing setups.
Tip
Combine Regime Scope with traditional technical tools like RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, or moving average crossovers to enhance strategic coherence.
For example, only act on breakout or trend-following signals when the regime score exceeds the upper threshold, confirming a high-trend environment.
Conversely, mean-reversion strategies like fading RSI extremes or trading Bollinger Band bounces work best when the regime score is in the lower range.
Aligning your tactical entries with the broader regime can significantly reduce false signals, enhance trade probability, and improve overall system robustness.
StockLeave Signal BarThe indicator identifies potential trade entries by highlighting expansion and reversal bars. These are defined by individual bar characteristics and refined by contextual factors such as price position relative to structural boundaries. The purpose is to locate bars that could indicate potential market initiation.
Expansion Bars
The expansion captures bars that breakout from a period of reduced volatility. These often initiate directional movement and are recognized using a two-part definition:
Range Expansion The current bar’s range must exceed the average range. This ensures the move is comparatively large and stands out from recent behavior.
Range Compression The bars before the expansion must be below a threshold of the average range. This confirms a low-volatility lead-up, strengthening the likelihood that the expansion has significance.
This script applies additional filters. A local breakout ensures price breaks the previous bar’s high or low. A strong close confirms directional intent by requiring the close near the bar’s extreme. Mean proximity checks that expansion starts near the mean price using a dynamic buffer relative to bar size. A directional filter blocks signals during extended directional runs. Consecutive suppression prevents multiple expansions to show in succession.
Reversal Bars
Reversal setups aim to identify potential turning points after price has reached a zone of imbalance or extension. These bars typically exhibit long tails and occur near structural boundaries such as the outer Keltner bands. Their design favors short-term price rejection and potential reversal.
Tail Dominance The wick must be at least twice the body and make up a significant portion of the bar’s total range, signaling strong rejection rather than indecision.
Close Location The close should be near the opposite end of the wick, near the low for bearish signals and near the high for bullish, confirming pressure in the reversal direction.
This script applies additional filters. Local extreme ensures the bar marks a local turning point to confirm reversals occur after extension, not within structure. Boundary proximity requires the bar to appear near the outer envelope, aligning bearish signals with the upper band and bullish with the lower, indicating price has reached an area of likely imbalance.
This section also incorporate snapback reversals, designed to capture failed extensions beyond structural boundaries. Unlike single-bar rejections, snapbacks use a two-bar sequence: a strong impulse bar that closes outside the envelope, followed by a reversal bar that closes back inside.
Alert Configuration
The Signal Bars indicator includes an alert function with two built-in conditions to help reduce screen time and focus attention when predefined conditions are met.
Expansion: Alerts when a bar meets all conditions for a valid expansion.
Reversal: Alerts when a bar meets the criteria for a pin bar or snapback reversal.
These are built into the indicator with the alertcondition() function and can be turned on whenever the indicator is applied to a chart. Each alert includes a default message that uses dynamic placeholders; {{ticker}} for the symbol and {{interval}} for the timeframe.
Create a new alert and select the condition “StockLeave Signal Bars.”
Then select from the two options: Expansion and Reversal.
For expansions, select “once per bar” to capture developing momentum.
For reversals, use “once per bar close” to confirm rejection setups.
Apply alerts across multiple timeframes to improve coverage. Lower timeframes are better suited for fast-moving markets, while higher timeframes work well in slower or more selective environments. This process only needs to be done once. The created alerts can then be toggled on or off from the Alerts panel as preferred, without requiring reconfiguration.
Applied Discretion
The indicator functions on fixed logic, but interpretation always takes precedence. Consider price action, structure, volatility, and broader market context. Most signals will not lead to trades; while many may appear in a session, only a select few will align with context and warrant execution based on discretion.
AQPRO ScalperX📝 INTRODUCTION
AQPRO ScalperX is a trading indicator designed for fast-paced, intraday trading. It uses Donchian channel breakouts, combined with a proprietary filtering system, to catch buy and sell opportunities as close to the beginning as possible without losing quality of the signals.
On top of core signals, ScalperX includes a real-time max profit tracker, a multi-timeframe (MTF) dashboard, support and resistance zones, and risk management visualization tools like automatic rendering of TP and SL lines. The indicator is fully customizable for both its visuals and functional settings.
🎯 PURPOSE OF USAGE
This indicator was initially designed with the idea of trying to make such a tool, that would be able to catch trend reversal in the most safe way. In this particular situation term 'safe way' is very abstract and it is up to interpretation, but we decided that our definition will be 'trading with price breakouts' , meaning that we would like to capitalize on price breaking its previous structure in the direction opposite to the previous one.
You can clearly see on the chart how buy and sell signals are going one after another on the screenshot below:
This ensures that we follow trend consistently and without missing out on potential profits. Just like they say: " let the winners run ".
Even though indicator with similar goals already exist in the open market, we believe that our proprietary algorithms and filters for determining price breakouts can make a big difference to traders, which employ similar strategies on daily basis, by helping them understand where are the potential high-quality breakouts might be. We haven't found indicator with exact same functionality as ours, which means that traders will be able to leverage an actually new tool to generate new price insights.
In short, main goals of this indicator are as follows:
Catching high-quality price breakouts, filtered to reduce the amount of choppy moves and false signals;
Tracking potential profits in real-time, directly on trader's chart;
Organizing data visualization of data pf latest signals from chosen asset from multiple timeframe in one dashboard;
Automated highlighting of key support and resistance zones on the chart, which serve as confirmation for main signals;
⚙️ SETTINGS OVERVIEW
Options for customization of this indicator are straightforward, but let's review them to make things certainly clear:
🔑 ScalperX / Main Settings
Range — defines the "wideness" of the breakout boxes. Higher values create wider breakout zones and impact breakout sensitivity;
Filter — adjusts the spacing between breakout boxes, determining the strictness of signal filtering. Higher values lead to more selective and rarer signals;
Show Max Profit — displays a real-time line and label that updates when a trade achieves a new peak profit, measured in ticks.
⏰ MTF Signal / Main Settings
Show MTF Signals — enables the generation of buy/sell signals from selected higher timeframes, displayed as labels on the current chart;
Timeframe — specifies the higher timeframe to use for MTF signal detection, such as 1 hour (1h) or 4 hours (4h).
🗂️ MTF Dashboard / Main Settings
Show MTF Dashboard — activates a dashboard that tracks entries, TP, SL, and overall trade bias for one selected symbol across four customizable timeframes;
* Dashboard position ( Vertical ) — adjusts whether the dashboard appears on the Top, Middle, or Bottom of the chart;
* Dashboard position ( Horizontal ) — aligns the dashboard Left, Center, or Right within the chart window;

MTF Buy & Sell — toggles alerts for buy and sell signals detected across the selected MTF timeframes.
📈 APPLICATION GUIDE
Application flow of this indicator very easy to understand and get used to, because all of the necessary elements — analysis, drawing, alert — are already automated by our algorithms. Let's review how the indicator works.
Let's start with the most basic thing — how will your indicator look when you load it on your chart for the first time:
AQPRO ScalperX consists mainly of 6 logic blocks:
ScalperX signals;
Risk visualization;
Max Profit tracking;
MTF scalper signals;
MTF dashboard;
Support & Resistance zones.
Description of each logic block is provided in the corresponding sections below.
SCALPERX SIGNALS
Signals, generated by our indicator, are shown on the chart as coloured up/down triangle. When a signal appears on the chart, indicator also create a box of length equal to 'Range' parameter from "Main Settings" group of settings. This box is intended to show which area of the price was broken by current candle.
It also important to acknowledge, the breakout itself happens only when price closes beyond broken price area with its close (!) price . Breakouts with highs or lows are not counted. This reduces the amount of low-quality signals and ensures that only the strong breakout will appear on the chart.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: all signals are considered valid only on the close of the candle, which triggered the signal, so if you want to enter a trade by any signal, wait for its candle to close and open your trade right on the next candle.
Talking about scalper's settings, we need to shed a light on how the changes in them affect signal's quality.
Parameter 'Range' defines the amount of bars, that will be review prior to current candle to determine wether the price area of this bars is good enough to track and if current candle actually broke this price area.
👍 Rule of thumb : the higher the 'Range' is, the "wider" the boxes. Also the with the increase of this parameter rises the lag of the signals, so be carefully with setting high values to this parameter.
See the visual showcase of signals with different 'Range' parameters on the screenshot below:
The example above features two instancies of ScalperX with two different 'Range' parameter values: 15 (leftchart) and 5 (right chart). You can clearly see, that on left chart here are 2 signals in comparison to 6 signals on right chart. Also signals on the left side have bigger lag and they don't catch the start of the move in comparison to how quickly tops and bottoms are catched with low 'Range' . However, low 'Range' will lead to excessive amount of signals, quality of which during 'whipsaw' markets is not that great.
✉️ Our advice on how to optimally set 'Range' parameter:
Use low values to trade during the times, when there are a lot of clean up and down impulses. This way you will catch reversal opportunities sooner and the quality of the signals will still be great;
Use high values on the 'whipsaw' markets. This will filter out many bad signals, that you would get with low-value 'Range' , and will drastically reduces amount of losing trades.
Talking about the 'Filter' parameter, this particular setting defines the 'strictness' of rules which will be applied to price area validation process. Essentially, the higher this parameter is, the stronger price impulse has to be confirm the breakout. However, changes in this parameter will not impact the "wideness" of boxes at all.
👍 Rule of thumb : the higher the 'Filter' is, the more separated the signal will be. Setting this parameter to high value will lead to increase in lag and big reduction in amount of signals, so be careful this parameter to high values.
See the visual showcase of signals with different 'Filter' parameters on the screenshot below:
The example above features two instancies of ScalperX with two different 'Filter' parameter values: 20 (left chart) and 2.5 (right chart). You can clear see, that low 'Filter' generated 6 signals, while higher one generated only 4 signals. However if you look closer, you will see that 2 signals, that existing in the yellow dashed area on the right chart, don't exist in the same area on the left chart. This is because high value of this parameter requires price impulse to be very strong in order for the indicator to mark this breakout as a valid one. What is more important is that these 2 'missing' signals were actually bad and, technically, we actually cut our losses in this case with high value of 'Filter' . You can see that the leftmost sell signal on the left chart eventually closed in a nice profit, in comparison to the same trade being closed in a loss on the right chart because of the 2 signals that we were talking about above.
It is important to note, that setting 'Filter' to low values will not affect performance this much as it low value of 'Range' do, because the indicator already works on low values of this parameter by default and the signals on average are already good enough for trading.
✉️ Our advice on how to optimally set 'Filter' parameter:
Use low values to trade on the markets with clean up and down impulses. This way you avoid excessive filtering and leave a room for good signals to come right at you;
Use high values to trade on 'whipsaw' markets. Higher values of this parameter on these markets have same effect as high 'Range' parameter: filtering false signals and leaving room for actually strong price impulses, which you will later capitalize on.
RISK VISUALIZATION (TP&SL)
Rendering Take-Profits and Stop-Losses in our indicator works quite simple: for each new trade indicator creates new pairs of lines and labels for TP and SL, while lines & labels from previous trade are erased for aesthetics purposes. Each label shows price coordinates, so that each trader would be able to grap the numbers in seconds.
See the visual showcase of TP & SL visualization on the screenshot below:
Also, whenever TP or SL of the current trade is reached, drawing of both TP and SL stops. When the TP is reached, additional '✅' emoji on the TP price is shown as confirmation of Take-Profit.
However, while TP or SL has not been reached, TP&SL labels and lines will be prolonged until one of them will be reached or new signals will come.
See the visual showcase of TP & SL stopping being visualized & TP on the screenshot below:
MAX PROFIT TRACKING
This mechanic is not particularly a new one in field of trading, but people usually forgot that it can be a useful indicator of state of the market:
when lines and labels of Max Profit are far from entry points on consistent basis , it usually means that indicator's signals actually can catch a beginning of good price moves, which enables trader to capitalize on them;
when lines and labels of Max Profit are close to entry points on consistent basis , it means that either market is choppy or the indicator can't catch trading opportunities in time. To 'fix' this you can try to reconfigure scalper's parameters, which were described above.
Principles of Max Profit in this indicator are of industry-standard: when price updates its extremum and 'generates' more profit than it previously did, Max Profit label and line change their position to this extremum. Max Profit label displays the maximum potential amount of profit that a trader could have got during this trade in pips (!) .
See the visual showcase of Max Profit work on the screenshot below:
MTF SCALPER SIGNALS
The principles of these signals are exactly the same as principles for classic Scalper signals. Refer to 'Scalper Signals' section above to rehearse the knowledge.
Logic behind these signals is very simple:
We take classic Scalper signals;
We request the data about these latest signals from specific other timeframe ( user can choose it in the settings );
If such signals appeared, we display it on the chart as a big label with timeframe value inside of it. In comparison to classic signals, no additional boxes are created . TP&SL functionality doesn't cover MTF signals, so don't expect to see TP&SL lines and labels for MTF signals.
See the visual showcase of MTF Scalper signals on the screenshot below:
MTF DASHBOARD
The functionality of the dashboard is pretty simple, but it makes the dashboard itself a very powerful tool in a hands of experienced trader.
Let's review structure of MTF dashboard on the screenshot below:
The important feature of MTF dashboard is that its tracks latest trade's data from a particular ticker and its four timeframes, all of which any trader chooses in the settings. This means, that you can be on asset ABC , but track the data from asset XYZ . This allows for a quick scan of sentiment from different assets and their timeframes, which gives traders a clue on what is the trend on these assets both on lower and higher timeframes at the same moment and saves a lot of time from jumping from one asset & timeframe to another.
To see that this is exactly the case with our indicator, see the screenshot below:
Needless to say, that you can track current asset in the dashboard as well. This will have the same benefits, described in the paragraph above.
You can also customize colours for bullish and bearish patterns for MTF Dashboard in the settings.
SUPPORT & RESISTANCE ZONES
Support & resistance (S&R) zones are a great tool for confirming Scalper signals in complex situations. Using these zones to determine whether or a particular entry opportunity is good is a practice of professional traders, which we specifically added to our indicator for the reason of improving the quality of Scalper signals in long run.
The mechanics behind these zones is based on pivot points, the lookback for which you can customize in the parameter called 'History Lookback (Bars)' in "Support & Resistance / Main Settings" group of settings. Increasing this parameter will lead to a appearance of more 'global' zones, but they will appear much rarer, rather then zones, generated with low values of this parameter.
The quality of these zones doesn't change much when changing this parameter — it only changes the frequency of the zones on the chart. Zones, generated from high values of this parameter are more suitable for long-term trading, while zones, generated from low value of this parameter, are more suitable for short-term trading.
It also important to mention that any zone on the chart is considered active only until the moment its farther border ( top border for resistance zones and bottom border for support zones) is reached by price's high or low .
Take a look on the screenshot below to see which zones does the indicator draw:
Let's review the zones themselves now:
Classic Support/Resistance Zone — a standard zone, which on average has amedium success rate to reverse the price when collided with it;
High-buyer-volume/High-seller-volume Support/Resistance Zone — a stronger zone, which on average has much better success rate to reverse the price when collided with it. Classic zone is marked as high-volume only if the up/down volume near the pivot point of this zone is greater than a certain threshold ( not changeable );
Extreme Support/Resistance Zone — a zone, which appeared beyond price's least-possible-to-cross levels, and has to the highest success rate of reversing the price on encounter across the zones, mentioned previously. Classic zone, which appeared beyond certain price levels, calculated with our proprietary risk system, is considered extreme. Classic zone doesn't need to be high-volume to become an Extreme Zone!
High-buyer-volume/High-seller-volume Extreme Support/Resistance Zone — an Extreme Zone, which has also passed up/down volume evolution process, mentioned in the point 2 .
Trading with the zones, mentioned above, with highest-on-paper success rate — especially Extreme Zones — does NOT guarantee you a price reversal when the price will reach this zone. However, by conducting our own extensive research with this indicator, we have found that using these zone will actually help you increase your success rate on average, because using these zones as confirmation systems filter out quite a number of false signals on average.
It is also important to mention, that opacity (same as 'transparency') of S&R zones depends on the volume of around zone's pivot point:
if volume is high , zone has 'brighter' (less opacity) colour;
if volume is low , zone has 'darker' (more opacity) colour.
Let's review examples of Scalper signal, which 1) where filtered out by our S&R zones and 2) where confirmed by our S&R zones. See the screenshot below:
The example above clearly shows the importance of having an S&R zone confirming the signal. This kind of 'team work' between of Scalper signals and S&R zones results in filtering lots of bad signals and confirmation of truly strong ones.
🔔 ALERTS
This indicator employs alerts for an event when new signal occurs on the current timeframe or on MTF timeframe. While creating the alert below 'Condition' field choose 'any alert() function call'.
When this alert is triggered, it will generate this kind of message:
// Alerts for current timeframe
string msg_template = "EXCHANGE:ASSET, TIMEFRAME: BUY_OR_SELL"
string msg_example = "BINANCE:BTCUSDT, 15m: Buy"
// Alerts for MTF timeframe
string msg_template_mtf = "MTF / EXCHANGE:ASSET, TIMEFRAME: BUY_OR_SELL"
string msg_example_mtf = "MTF / BINANCE:BTCUSDT, 1h: Buy"
📌 NOTES
This indicators works best on assets with high liquidity; most suitable timeframes range from 1m to 4h (depends on your trading style) ;
Seriously consider using S&R zones as confirmation to main Scalper signals or any of your own signals. Confirmation process may filter out a lot of signals, but your PNL History will say "thank you" to you in the long-run and you will see yourself how good confirmed signals actually do work;
Don't forget to look at MTF dashboard from time to time to see global sentiment. This will help you time your entry moments better and will improve your performance in the long run;
This indicator can serve both as primary source of signals and as confirmation tool, but we advise to try to combine it with your own strategy frst to see if it will improve your performance.
🏁 AFTERWORD
AQPRO ScalperX was designed to help traders identify high-quality price breakouts and generate market insights based on them, which include signal generation. Main feature of this indicator is Scalper algorithm, which generate price-breakout-based signals directly on your chart.
Alongside these signals you can leverage 1) MTF Dashboard to track latest trade's data from chosen asset and its four timeframes, 2) risk visualization functionality (TP&SL) to improve understanding of current market risks and 3) Support & Resistance zones, which serve as a great confirmation tool for Scalper signals, but can also work with any other signal generation tool to enhance its performance.
