BT Volume & Volatility Spike
The BT Spike Indicator is aimed at identifying significant spikes in trading volume and price volatility on cryptocurrency or futures charts. It helps traders spot potential reversal or momentum shifts by combining volume analysis with volatility measures. The core logic revolves around detecting when volume surges above its historical average while volatility (measured via ATR) also spikes, signaling unusual market activity that could precede breakouts, pullbacks, or trend changes.
Key features include:
Inputs: Customizable parameters like lookback periods for averages (e.g., 14-bar EMA for volume), ATR length (default 14), and spike thresholds (e.g., volume multiplier of 2x the average).
Visuals: Plots bars or shapes on the chart for spike detections (e.g., green for bullish spikes, red for bearish), with optional alerts for real-time notifications.
Versions: We iterated on it, adding features like better alert conditions and visual signals, but rolled back to a simplified v0.1 for reliability, removing some experimental bug-prone elements like multi-timeframe checks.
BT Spike is a volume & volatility signal meant to alert traders that a move could begin soon, and is a supplementary tool to highlight confluence for existing high-probability setups.

Overview
This indicator translates VIX futures dynamics into equity price implications, revealing institutional hedging flows and vol pricing's gravitational pull on price, where overpriced volatility signals compression and upside support, while underpriced levels flag expansion risks and downside pressure.
It maps VX deviations to equity levels via historical correlations, anchored by the Bull Bear Bias (BBB), a contango midpoint concept from Matt Cowart at Rocketscooter that sets VX1! fair value as the midpoint between front-month (VX1!) and second-month (VX2!) contracts at monthly rolls.
VX itself quantifies the distribution of options strikes around the underlying price over time, essentially the market's priced-in dispersion of potential outcomes, tied to expiration distance, with volatility inversely proportional to liquidity (fewer transactions in high-vol environments reduce flow and amplify moves).
Interpretation
- VX1! (Front-Month VIX Futures) : Gauges 30-day (±7 days, or 23-37 days to expiration) SPX implied volatility via forward options pricing, capturing medium-term hedging landscapes. Dealers, managing gamma exposure from longer-dated options, hedge by delta-adjusting underlying positions; rising VX1! reflects widening strike distributions (higher fear), prompting protective equity sales that pressure prices; falls toward BBB indicate narrowing distributions (calm), easing hedges and fostering liquidity-driven rallies as transaction frequency rises.
- VIX1D (1-Day Expected Volatility) : Focuses on ultra-short-dated (e.g., 0DTE) P.M.-settled options, measuring immediate strike clustering and gamma intensity near expiration. Closer-dated options heighten dealer sensitivity; spikes signal concentrated hedging bursts, eroding liquidity and fueling intraday volatility with sharp price reversals; declines promote hedging unwind, boosting transaction flow and short-term stability.
- VVIX (Volatility of VIX) : Assesses the implied volatility of VIX options (the "vol of vol"), revealing uncertainty in the vol forecast itself. Elevated VVIX denotes aggressive dealer repositioning across VIX strikes, forecasting erratic VX swings and reduced equity liquidity; subdued levels imply stable distributions, enhancing flow and trend persistence. BBB projections adjust dynamically: low VVIX (<80) constrains overshoots for reversion trades, while high (>110) expands them amid panic hedging.
- BBB Relationship : VX1! above BBB highlights over-distributed (expensive) vol, where dealers unwind hedges as time decays, inverting low liquidity into upside momentum; below BBB warns of under-distributed (cheap) vol, with sparse transactions amplifying expansion risks. Shorter tenors (VIX1D) drive tactical, gamma-fueled price action, contrasting VX1!'s strategic horizon, with VVIX scaling the intensity.
Key Features
- Target Line (Anchored) : Locks at swing violations as enduring support (green, below price) or resistance (red, above), fusing BBB's vol equilibrium with technical anchors to spotlight dealer hedge confluences in strike distributions.
- Magnet Line (Dynamic) : Mirrors live VX1!/BBB shifts, plotting "implied fair" price (blue above for unwind pull; orange below for hedge drag), linking term structure evolution to liquidity-driven gravity.
- Fear Scenario Line : Forecasts price erosion from a 10%+ VX1! surge above BBB, calibrated by VVIX for vol-of-vol amplification, defining dealer panic thresholds where low-liquidity spikes cascade.
- Overshoot Projection : Predicts interim extensions past targets, modulated by VIX1D (near-term gamma flares) and VVIX (distribution uncertainty), relating expiration proximity to heightened swings before time-decay reversion.
- Candle Coloring and SMA Trends : Tracks near-term VX1!/VVIX/VIX1D flows via gradient-colored candles (strong/medium/weak bullish/bearish based on SMA deviations), visualizing realtime options dynamics; green shades signal hedging unwind (rising liquidity, upside bias), red indicates expansion (dealer sales, downside drag). Recommended: VX1! Trend for long-term confluences (Tue-Thu swings); VIX1D Trend or VX1! + VIX1D for short-term (Mon/Fri scalps); add VVIX for regime shifts.
- Swing Boxes : Denote aggressive VX spikes (fear hedging bets) or de-escalations (position realizations), highlighting gamma-driven reversals where dealers rebalance, often preceding liquidity surges or drains in price action.
- Table Metrics : Condenses VX1!/BBB skew, VVIX regimes, VIX1D pulses, and contango cues, correlating options tenor gradients to price flow and hedging mechanics.
ES-VIX Daily Price Bands - Inner and OuterES-VIX Daily Price Bands
This indicator plots dynamic intraday price bands for ES futures based on real-time volatility levels measured by the VIX (CBOE Volatility Index). The bands evolve throughout the trading day, providing volatility-adjusted price targets.
Formulas:
Upper Band = Daily Low + (ES Price × VIX ÷ √252 ÷ 100)
Lower Band = Daily High - (ES Price × VIX ÷ √252 ÷ 100)
The calculation uses the square root of 252 (trading days per year) to convert annualized VIX volatility into an expected daily move, then scales it as a percentage adjustment from the current day's extremes.
Features:
Real-time band calculation that updates throughout the trading session
Upper band (green) extends from the current day's low
Lower band (red) contracts from the current day's high
Inner upper band (green) at 50% of expected move
Inner lower band (red) at 50% of expected move
Middle Inner upper band (green) at 80% of expected move
Middle Inner lower band (red) at 80% of expected move
Outer upper band (green) at 150% of expected move
Outer lower band (red) at 150% of expected move

MFM - Light Context HUD (Free)Overview
MFM Light Context HUD is the free version of the Market Framework Model. It gives you a fast and clean view of the current market regime and phase without signals or chart noise. The HUD shows whether the asset is in a bullish or bearish environment and whether it is in a volatile, compression, drift, or neutral phase. This helps you read structure at a glance.
Asset availability
The free version works only on a selected list of five assets.
Supported symbols are
SP:SPX
TVC:GOLD
BINANCE:BTCUSD
BINANCE:ETHUSDT
OANDA:EURUSD
All other assets show a context banner only.
How it works
The free version uses fixed settings based on the original MFM model. It calculates the regime using a higher timeframe RSI ratio and identifies the current phase using simplified momentum conditions. The chart stays clean. Only a small HUD appears in the top corner. Full visual phases, ratio logic, signals, and auto tune are part of the paid version.
The free version shows the phase name only. It does not display colored phase zones on the chart.
Phase meaning
The Market Framework Model uses four structural phases to describe how the market behaves. These are not signals but context layers that show the underlying environment.
Volatile (Phase 1)
The market is in a fast, unstable or directional environment. Price can move aggressively with stronger momentum swings.
Compression (Phase 2)
The market is in a contracting state. Momentum slows and volatility decreases. This phase often appears before expansion, but it does not predict direction.
Drift (Phase 3)
The market moves in a more controlled, persistent manner. Trends are cleaner and volatility is lower compared to volatile phases.
No phase
No clear structural condition is active.
These phases describe market structure, not trade entries. They help you understand the conditions you are trading in.
Cross asset context
The Market Framework Model reads markets as a multi layer system. The full version includes cross asset analysis to show whether the asset is acting as a leader or lagger relative to its benchmark. The free version uses the same internal benchmark logic for regime detection but does not display the cross asset layer on the chart.
Cross asset structure is a core part of the MFM model and is fully available in the paid version.

AIO+TX by Lucky-cbtThis system is not built on ordinary moving averages or textbook filters. It is a multi‑dimensional mathematical engine that interprets market rhythm through dynamic ratios, geometric alignments, and adaptive oscillations.
📐 Geometric Layering: The script measures the relative curvature of price trajectories against long‑term baselines, using proportional spacing rules derived from harmonic progressions.
🔄 Cross‑Dimensional Ratios: Instead of simple crossovers, it applies ratio‑based transitions where short‑term momentum vectors intersect with deep‑time anchors, producing signals only when multiple dimensions align.
📊 Volumetric Amplification: Market participation is filtered through a power‑law multiplier, ensuring that only statistically significant surges are considered valid.
🌫️ Cloud Dynamics: A dual‑span envelope evaluates whether price is floating above or below its equilibrium surface, acting as a probabilistic barrier rather than a fixed line.
🎯 Directional Memory: The algorithm embeds a trend memory function, smoothing directional impulses into a weighted regime that flips only after confirmation thresholds are satisfied.
🌀 Oscillatory Balance: Instead of naming RSI or CCI, the system checks whether the oscillatory balance remains within a bounded corridor, rejecting extremes that would otherwise distort the signal.
⚡ Adaptive Stretch: Volatility is normalized through a stretch‑compression model, where expansion and contraction are raised to fractional exponents, ensuring resilience across market conditions.
🔒 Confluence Gate: No single metric is decisive. Only when all mathematical gates unlock simultaneously does the system permit a directional flip, marking the chart with precision labels.

@Complete Squeeze Cycle Detector v2.0 FINALDescription:
The Complete Squeeze Cycle Detector identifies and tracks the full lifecycle of squeeze formations, from pre-squeeze consolidation through active squeeze periods to squeeze completion. The indicator systematically detects the characteristic conditions that precede and accompany squeeze events.
The indicator monitors multiple factors associated with squeeze development including:
• Volatility compression relative to recent volume activity
• Elevated market stress conditions as measured by VIX levels
• Momentum compression through rate of change measurements across multiple time periods
• Alignment of multiple exponential moving averages indicating consolidation
The squeeze cycle is classified into three distinct phases: Pre-Squeeze Setup, Active Squeeze, and Squeeze Complete. Each phase is identified based on threshold levels of multiple compression metrics, with adjustable sensitivity settings to control the strictness of detection.
The indicator provides visual identification of each phase through labels, background coloring, and an optional dashboard, allowing users to distinguish between the preparation phase where volatility contracts, the active squeeze phase where compression reaches critical levels, and the completion phase where the squeeze releases and directional movement resumes.
This systematic approach enables users to identify squeeze formations throughout their complete development cycle rather than focusing only on the breakout phase.

Dynamic Ratchet Trend Strategy [VIX Filter]Overview This strategy is a long-only trend-following system designed to capture major market moves while strictly managing downside risk through a state-machine based "Ratchet" exit logic. It incorporates a volatility filter using the CBOE VIX index to stay out of (or exit) the market during high-stress environments.
Key Features
1. Multi-Condition Entries The strategy looks for momentum shifts and trend breakouts using four Simple Moving Averages (25, 50, 100, 200).
Momentum Cross: SMA 25 crossover above SMA 50.
Trend Breakouts: A specific "3-Bar Breakout" logic above the SMA 50, 100, or 200. This requires the price to hold above the SMA for 3 consecutive bars after being below it, reducing false signals compared to simple closes.
2. VIX Volatility Filter Before entering any trade, the script checks the CBOE:VIX.
Filter: If VIX is above the threshold (default 32), new entries are blocked.
Panic Exit: If you are in a position and the VIX spikes above the threshold, the strategy executes an immediate "Panic Exit" to preserve capital during market crashes.
3. The "Ratchet" Exit System (3 Stages) Unlike a standard trailing stop, this strategy uses a 3-stage dynamic exit mechanism that tightens as profits grow:
Stage 0 (Initial Risk): Standard percentage-based Stop Loss from the entry price.
Stage 1 (The Lock-In): Triggered when profit hits 10% (configurable).
Unique Logic: Instead of trailing from the highest high, the stop is calculated based on the price at the exact moment this stage was triggered. It "steps up" once and holds, securing the initial move without being prematurely stopped out by normal volatility.
Stage 2 (Trailing Mode): Triggered when profit hits 15% (configurable).
The strategy switches to a classic Trailing Stop, following the percentage distance from the Highest High.
4. Emergency Backup A "Dead Cross" (SMA 25 crossing under SMA 50) acts as a final fail-safe to close positions if the trend reverses completely before hitting a stop.
Settings & Inputs
SMAs: Customize the lengths for all four moving averages.
VIX Filter: Toggle the filter on/off and set the panic threshold.
Exit Logic: Fully customizable percentages for Initial SL, Stage 1 Trigger/Distance, and Stage 2 Trigger/Trailing Distance.

Market Regime Storyline v6Title: Market Regime Storyline
Description:
The Market Regime Storyline indicator identifies and displays the current market condition or "regime" through a comprehensive framework that combines trend direction and volatility analysis.
The indicator classifies market conditions into four distinct regimes:
Uptrend: Price is above the trend moving average with short-term momentum confirming upward movement
Downtrend: Price is below the trend moving average with short-term momentum confirming downward movement
Squeeze: Low normalized volatility indicating a period of consolidation and potential impending breakout
Chop: Sideways, range-bound price action with no clear directional bias and normal volatility
Key features include:
• Clear identification of the dominant market regime with visual background coloring
• Continuous display of the current regime and normalized volatility level in the upper-left corner
• Labels marking transitions between different market regimes
• Subtle background coloring that provides visual context without visual clutter
The indicator combines trend determination (using an exponential moving average and momentum confirmation) with volatility normalization to provide a complete picture of the prevailing market environment. This regime identification helps traders adapt their strategies to the current market conditions, whether trending, consolidating, or ranging.
This approach recognizes that different trading strategies perform optimally in different market environments, allowing users to adjust their approach based on whether the market is exhibiting trending behavior, preparing for a volatility expansion, or trading in a range-bound manner.

The Market Regime Storyline indicator is designed to provide traders with a clear, unambiguous identification of the prevailing market condition. By categorizing market behavior into distinct regimes, the indicator enables users to:
Determine whether the market is exhibiting directional trending behavior that favors trend-following strategies
Identify periods of low volatility consolidation (squeezes) that often precede significant directional moves
Recognize range-bound, non-directional market conditions where mean reversion or breakout strategies may be more appropriate
The indicator uses a combination of trend filtering through a primary moving average and momentum confirmation, along with normalized volatility measurement, to provide a robust regime classification system. The normalized volatility component helps distinguish between true consolidation periods (squeezes) and typical sideways movement (chop), providing additional context for anticipating potential changes in market behavior.
This regime-based approach acknowledges the reality that all trading strategies do not perform equally well in all market environments, and provides a framework for adapting trading approaches to the prevailing market conditions.
The combination of these classification elements and the clear visual presentation makes this indicator particularly useful for traders who need to adjust their strategy depending on whether the market is in a trending, consolidating, or range-bound state.
Ratchet Exit Trend Strategy with VIX FilterThis strategy is a trend-following system designed specifically for volatile markets. Instead of focusing solely on the "perfect entry," this script emphasizes intelligent trade management using a custom **"Ratchet Exit System."**
Additionally, it integrates a volatility filter based on the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) to minimize risk during extreme market phases.
### 🎯 The Concept: Ratchet Exit
The "Ratchet" system operates like a mechanical ratchet tool: the Stop Loss can only move in one direction (up, for long trades) and "locks" into specific stages. The goal is to give the trade "room to breathe" initially to avoid being stopped out by noise, then aggressively reduce risk as the trade moves into profit.
The exit logic moves through 3 distinct phases:
1. **Phase 0 (Initial Risk):** At the start of the trade, a wide Stop Loss is set (Default: 10%) to tolerate normal market volatility.
2. **Phase 1 (Risk Reduction):** Once the trade reaches a specific floating profit (Default: +10%), the Stop Loss is raised and "pinned" to a fixed value (Default: -8% from entry). This drastically reduces risk while keeping the trade alive.
3. **Phase 2 (Trailing Mode):** If the trend extends to a higher profit zone (Default: +15%), the Stop switches to a dynamic Trailing Mode. It follows the **Highest High** at a fixed percentage distance (Default: 8%).
### 🛡️ VIX Filter & Panic Exit
High volatility is often the enemy of trend-following strategies.
* **Entry Filter:** The system will not enter new positions if the VIX is above a user-defined threshold (Default: 32). This helps avoid entering "falling knife" markets.
* **Panic Exit:** If the VIX spikes above the threshold (32) while a trade is open, the position is closed immediately to protect capital (Emergency Exit).
### 📈 Entry Signals
The strategy trades **LONG only** and uses Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) to identify trends:
* **Golden Cross:** SMA 25 crosses over SMA 50.
* **3-Bar Breakouts:** A confirmation logic where the price must close above the SMA 50, 100, or 200 for 3 consecutive bars.
### ⚙️ Settings (Inputs)
All parameters are fully customizable via the settings menu:
* **SMAs:** Lengths for the trend indicators (Default: 25, 50, 100, 200).
* **VIX Filter:** Toggle the filter on/off and adjust the panic threshold.
* **Ratchet Settings:** Percentages for Initial Stop, Trigger Levels for Stages 1 & 2, and the Trailing Distance.

Z-EMA Fusion BandsDesigned with crypto markets in mind, particularly Bitcoin , it builds on the concept that the 1-Week 50 EMA often serves as a long-term bull/bear market threshold — an area where institutional bias, momentum shifts, and cyclical rotations tend to occur.
🔹 Core Components & Synergies:
1. 1W 50 EMA (Higher Timeframe)
- This EMA is calculated on a weekly timeframe, regardless of your current chart.
- In crypto, price above the 1W 50 EMA typically aligns with long-term bull market phases, while extended periods below can signify bearish macro structure.
- The slope of the EMA is also analyzed to add directional confidence to trend strength.
2. ±1 Standard Deviation Bands
- Surrounding the 50 EMA, these bands visualize normal price dispersion relative to trend.
- When price consistently hugs or breaks outside these bands, it often reflects market expansion, volatility events, or mean-reversion opportunity.
3. Z-Score Gradient Fill
- The area between the bands is filled using a Z-score-based gradient, which dynamically adjusts color based on how far price is from the EMA (in terms of standard deviations).
- Color shifts from aqua (near EMA) to fuchsia (far from EMA) help you spot price compression, equilibrium, or overextension at a glance.
- The fill also uses transparency scaling, making it fade as price stretches further, emphasizing the core structure.
4. Directional EMA Coloring
- The EMA line itself is colored based on:
- The slope of the EMA (rising/falling)
- Whether the HTF candle is bullish or bearish
- This provides intuitive color-coded confirmation of momentum alignment or potential exhaustion.
5. Price/EMA Divergence Detection
- The script detects bullish and bearish divergence between price and the EMA (rather than using a traditional oscillator).
- Bullish Divergence: Price makes a lower low, EMA makes a higher low.
- Bearish Divergence: Price makes a higher high, EMA makes a lower high.
- These signals often mark transitional zones where momentum fades before a trend reversal or correction.
📊 Suggested Uses:
🔸 Swing and Position Trading:
- Use the 1W 50 EMA as a macro-trend anchor.
- Stay long-biased when price is above with positive slope, and short-biased when below.
- Consider entries near band edges for mean-reversion plays, especially if confluence forms with divergence signals.
🔸 Volatility-Based Filtering:
- Use the Z-score fill to identify volatility compression (near EMA) or expansion (edge of bands).
- Combine this with breakout strategies or dynamic position sizing.
🔸 Divergence Confirmation:
- Combine divergence markers with HTF EMA slope for high-probability setups.
- Bullish div + EMA flattening/rising can signal the start of accumulation after a macro dip.
🔸 Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
- Works well as a structural overlay on intraday charts (1H, 4H, 1D).
- Use this indicator to track long-term bias while executing lower timeframe trades.
