Linear Regression Channel with Crossover SignalsLinear Regression Channel with Crossover Signals is an overlay indicator that plots a statistically derived **linear regression channel** around price and optionally generates **crossover / re-entry signals**, labels, alerts, and a small on-chart dashboard. It is designed to help visualize trend direction (via regression slope), typical price “containment” (via deviation bands), and potential breakout/mean-reversion events when price interacts with the channel.
---
## What this indicator shows
### 1) Linear Regression Midline (trend estimate)
The midline is the **linear regression value** of `close` over the selected *Regression Length*. It represents the “best fit” straight line through the last *N* bars, providing:
- **Trend direction** (via slope: rising/falling/flat)
- A dynamic reference level for midline cross signals (optional)
### 2) Upper / Lower Deviation Bands (channel)
A channel is built around the regression midline using the **standard deviation of price from the regression line**:
- Upper Band = midline + (stdDev × Deviation Multiplier)
- Lower Band = midline − (stdDev × Deviation Multiplier)
This creates a volatility-scaled envelope that adapts to how tightly or loosely price has been tracking the regression line.
### 3) Optional visual aids
You can independently toggle:
- Channel lines (upper/lower)
- Midline
- Channel fill (shaded area between bands)
- Background coloring to reflect whether price is **above / inside / below** the channel
A dashboard (optional) displays live values and context such as band values, distance from bands, current position, and trend direction.
---
## How it works (calculation overview)
### Regression calculation (manual)
The script calculates slope and intercept using a least-squares approach across the last `lengthInput` bars:
- It iterates over the window, builds sums (X, Y, XY, X²), and computes:
- **Slope** and **Intercept** of the regression line
- The midline value plotted is the regression value at the most recent point in the window.
### Standard deviation from the regression line
Instead of using standard deviation of closes directly, it measures the **deviation of each close from the regression line** and computes:
- variance = average of squared deviations
- stdDev = sqrt(variance)
This is what makes the channel represent “how far price typically strays from the trend line” over the lookback period.
---
## Signal logic (what triggers markers)
All signals are optional and controlled by the **Signal Types** toggles.
### A) Upper band cross signals (optional)
- **Upper Breakout (OB)**: price crosses **above** the Upper Band (`crossover(close, upperBand)`)
- **Upper Re-entry**: price crosses **back below** the Upper Band (`crossunder(close, upperBand)`)
These are often interpreted as “extension above channel” and “return from extension,” but interpretation depends on your style (breakout vs mean reversion).
### B) Lower band cross signals (optional)
- **Lower Breakdown (OS)**: price crosses **below** the Lower Band (`crossunder(close, lowerBand)`)
- **Lower Re-entry**: price crosses **back above** the Lower Band (`crossover(close, lowerBand)`)
### C) Midline cross signals (optional)
- **Mid Bullish**: price crosses above the regression midline
- **Mid Bearish**: price crosses below the regression midline
### D) Re-entry-to-channel signals (enabled by default)
The script tracks whether price was previously:
- **above** the channel (close > upperBand)
- **below** the channel (close < lowerBand)
- **inside** the channel
It then triggers “re-entry” when price returns inside the channel:
- **Bullish Re-entry (Bounce Support)**: price was below and crosses back above the Lower Band
- **Bearish Re-entry (Rejection Resistance)**: price was above and crosses back below the Upper Band
These are intended to highlight potential mean-reversion acceptance back into the “normal” channel range.
---
## Plot markers and labels (what you’ll see)
If enabled, the indicator can plot:
- Triangles and circles for band/midline crosses (with short text such as **OB**, **OS**, ▲, ▼)
- Diamond markers for re-entry confirmations (✓ / ✗)
- Optional text labels describing the event (e.g., “OVERBOUGHT Breakout”, “REJECTION Resistance”, etc.)
Note: this script sets high label/line limits (`max_labels_count` / `max_lines_count`) to reduce the chance of hitting platform limits when many signals occur.
---
## Alerts (optional)
When “Enable Alerts” is ON, the script can fire alerts for:
- Upper breakout / upper re-entry
- Lower breakdown / lower re-entry
- Re-entry bounce / re-entry rejection
- Midline bullish / bearish cross
Alerts are triggered **once per bar** when conditions occur. They are informational and should be validated within your trading plan.
---
## Inputs (how to tune it)
### Channel Settings
- **Regression Length**: larger = smoother and slower to react; smaller = more responsive but noisier
- **Deviation Multiplier**: larger = wider channel (fewer band touches); smaller = tighter channel (more touches)
- **Extend Forward**: present as an input, but this version does not draw forward-projected lines; it primarily affects nothing visually unless you add line objects later
### Signal Settings / Types
- Enable only the signal types you actually use to keep charts clean.
- Re-entry signals are ON by default because they depend on context (previously outside → back inside), which many traders find more meaningful than a single cross alone.
### Visual Settings
- Show/hide channel, midline, fill, background coloring
- Customize colors for upper/lower/mid and fill for readability
---
## Limitations / notes (important for public descriptions)
- This is an **indicator**, not a strategy; it does not backtest performance.
- Linear regression channels are **context-dependent**: strong trends can “ride” a band, and ranging markets can produce frequent crosses.
- Signals are based on **price crossing computed bands** and do not predict direction by themselves.
- Standard deviation bands reflect past dispersion around the regression line; volatility regime shifts can change behavior quickly.
- Always apply risk management and confirm with additional context (structure, volume, higher timeframe bias, session conditions, etc.).
ความผันผวน
Beast Mode - Flux OscillatorBeast Mode – Flux Oscillator (BM-FLUX) is a momentum + volatility-compression oscillator designed to help traders visualize (1) directional momentum shifts and (2) “pressure build-up” periods where volatility contracts and expansion risk increases. It combines a MACD-style momentum core with a Bollinger Bands vs. Keltner Channels squeeze filter, displayed in a clean oscillator pane (overlay=false).
---
What makes it useful/original:
1) You can switch the smoothing method between EMA and VWMA. When VWMA is enabled, the fast/slow averages are volume-weighted, which can help emphasize momentum moves that occur on higher participation.
2) It includes built-in volatility squeeze context by detecting when Bollinger Bands are inside Keltner Channels and marking those compression periods on the zero line, helping you interpret momentum signals differently during contraction vs. expansion regimes.
---
How it works (overview):
Momentum core:
- The script calculates a fast MA and slow MA from close (EMA or VWMA depending on the “Weight with Volume?” setting).
- The Fast Flux (MACD line) is: fast_ma − slow_ma
- The Slow Flux (signal line) is: EMA(macd_line, Signal Length)
- The Flux Histogram is: macd_line − signal_line
Squeeze detection:
- Bollinger Bands are calculated using BB Length and BB Mult.
- Keltner Channels are built using the same basis and a True Range average over KC Length scaled by KC Mult.
- A squeeze is active when the Bollinger Bands are fully inside the Keltner Channels.
---
How to read it:
Histogram colors (direction + acceleration):
- Bright green = above zero and rising (bullish momentum strengthening)
- Dark green = above zero but falling (bullish momentum weakening)
- Bright red = below zero and falling (bearish momentum strengthening)
- Dark red = below zero but rising (bearish momentum weakening)
Lines:
- Teal line = MACD line (Fast Flux)
- Orange line = Signal line (Slow Flux)
Squeeze dots:
- A white dot on the zero line indicates “Squeeze Active” (volatility compression).
---
Alerts:
- Flux Cross UP: MACD crosses above signal (momentum turns bullish)
- Flux Cross DOWN: MACD crosses below signal (momentum turns bearish)
- Squeeze Active: volatility compression detected (BB inside KC)
Alerts are informational conditions and do not guarantee outcomes.
---
Limitations / notes:
- This is an indicator (not a strategy) and does not provide backtest results.
- Like most momentum tools it can whipsaw in ranging markets.
- Squeeze conditions highlight volatility compression but do not predict direction by themselves.
- Always use proper risk management and confirm signals with your broader trading plan.
Beast Mode - ORB Indicator [Advanced Retest & Targets]Beast Mode - ORB Indicator
The Beast Mode - ORB Indicator is a comprehensive institutional trading system designed to automate the Opening Range Breakout (ORB) strategy. Unlike standard ORB indicators that simply draw high/low lines, this script integrates "Smart Retest" logic, dynamic risk/reward targets, and volume/volatility filters to help traders identify high-probability setups while filtering out chop and fake-outs.
This tool is designed for Futures (ES, NQ, YM) and Equities traders who rely on the initial market balance to determine the day's directional bias.
How It Works
The Opening Range is defined as the High and Low price established during the first X minutes of the market session (e.g., 5 minutes, 15 minutes). This range represents the initial battle between buyers and sellers.
1. The Range Formation: The script monitors the user-defined opening window (e.g., 9:30–9:35 AM ET). Once the window closes, it plots the ORB High (Green), ORB Low (Red), and Midline (Gray).
2. The Breakout: A signal is generated when a candle closes outside the defined range. This signal is filtered by volume (must be higher than average) and range quality (to avoid trading during extremely tight or over-extended ranges).
3. The Smart Retest (New Feature): Breakouts often fail. The most reliable entry is often the retest of the breakout level. This script uses a unique algorithm to detect valid retests:
- Tolerance: Price must return to within a specific point range of the ORB level.
- Rejection: Price must physically "bounce" away from the level by a minimum point value.
- Volume: The rejection candle must have significant volume to confirm institutional defense of the level.
Key Features
1. Dynamic Risk/Reward Targets
The indicator automatically projects profit targets based on the size of the Opening Range:
- Target 1 (💰): Placed at a 1:1 ratio relative to the range size. (e.g., If the range is 20 points, T1 is 20 points above the High).
- Target 2: A user-defined multiplier (default 2.0x) for extended trend days.
- Stop Loss Zones: Visual dotted lines indicating statistically significant stop-loss placement levels.
2. Smart Retest Logic
Instead of blindly buying a touch of the line, the script waits for confirmation. It looks for a "Checkmark" pattern: Breakout -> Pullback to Zone -> Rejection Bounce. Retest signals are marked with a distinct "RE" label.
3. Quality Filters
- Volume Filter: Ensures that breakout signals are backed by relative volume (RVOL) to avoid "low volume drift" fake-outs.
- Range Filter: Prevents signals if the Opening Range is too small (chop) or too large (exhaustion), based on point values.
4. Professional Dashboard
A data table displays real-time statistics:
- Status: Forming, Active, or Waiting.
- Range: The exact size of the opening range in points.
- Position: Current price relation to the ORB (Above/Below/Inside).
- Targets: Exact price levels for T1 and T2.
Settings & Configuration
- ORB Timeframe: Select between 5m PreMarket, 5m Standard, 15m, or 30m ranges.
- Trading Session: Define your active trading hours (signals are muted outside this window).
- Target Multiplier: Adjust the extension for the second target (e.g., 1.5x, 2.0x, 3.0x).
- Retest Specifics:
- Tolerance: How close price must get to the line to count as a test.
- Min Bounce: How hard price must reject to trigger a signal.
- Visuals: Fully customizable colors for lines, backgrounds, and labels.
Disclaimer
This indicator is a technical analysis tool intended to assist in identifying market structure and potential areas of interest.

Gamma Conviction OscillatorGamma Conviction Oscillator
OVERVIEW
The Gamma Conviction Oscillator is a specialized momentum study that integrates volume-weighted price change with a dynamic volatility-adjustment engine. Unlike traditional oscillators, it scales its sensitivity based on current market ATR, allowing the tool to stay responsive during low-volatility drifts and stabilize during high-volatility expansions.
THE MATH BEHIND THE "CONVICTION"
Volatility-Adjusted Sensitivity: The script utilizes a normalized ATR ratio to calculate a 'Dynamic Adjustment Factor.' This ensures that overbought/oversold thresholds are not static but react to the current market regime.
Volume-Weighted Basis: Momentum is calculated using the product of price-change and volume, ensuring that "Conviction" is only displayed when there is actual participation behind the move.
Trend-Alignment Filter: The coloring engine uses a long-term moving average anchor to determine the 'Context.' Conviction is categorized as 'Trend-Aligned' or 'Counter-Trend' based on the price relation to this long-term anchor.
HOW TO USE
Observe the Oscillator Color:
Bright Lime / Bright Red: High-momentum extremes aligned with the long-term trend. Indicates areas where price movement has strong participation and trend confirmation.
Teal / Maroon: Counter-trend momentum extremes, highlighting potential areas for trend testing or mean-reversion.
Assess Overbought and Oversold Zones:
The dynamic overbought (OB) and oversold (OS) levels adjust based on current market volatility. Readings outside these zones indicate stronger-than-normal conviction.
Consider Trend Context:
Compare the oscillator reading to the long-term trend (based on the selected moving average). Alignment with the trend reinforces trend strength; divergence may indicate temporary pullbacks or consolidation.
Adjust Inputs for Your Trading Timeframe:
Base Oscillator Length: Shorter values make the oscillator more responsive to intraday momentum; longer values smooth for swing analysis.
Volatility Smoothing Length: Controls sensitivity to ATR fluctuations; higher values reduce noise in volatile markets.
Dynamic Sensitivity Factor: Fine-tunes how strongly volatility influences the oscillator scale.
Use as an Educational Guide:
This tool is a visualization of historical and current momentum. Use it to study how momentum builds, fades, or reverses. It does not generate trade signals and is for educational and informational purposes only.
NOTES
All calculations are proprietary and protected to preserve the underlying logic. This script is intended purely as an educational visualization tool.
Rainbow Road [kingthies]Rainbow Road
Rainbow Road is a trend-structure and momentum visualization tool built around a cascading chain of smoothed simple moving averages. Instead of plotting independent moving averages on price, each line is progressively smoothed from the prior one using the same length, creating a layered “road” that reveals trend strength, direction, and transition with exceptional clarity.
OVERVIEW
Rainbow Road visualizes trend quality using a spectrum of fast-to-slow moving averages derived from one another. Because each average is smoothed from the prior line, the indicator forms a continuous structure rather than a collection of unrelated signals. This makes trend alignment, momentum expansion, and compression immediately visible.
HOW IT WORKS
The first average is a Simple Moving Average of price
Each subsequent average is an SMA of the previous average using the same length
This creates a cascading chain of averages with increasing smoothness
Colors progress from red (fastest) to purple (slowest) to represent trend hierarchy
HOW TO READ IT
Strong Trend : All averages are aligned and expanding in the same direction
Acceleration : Spacing between averages increases
Deceleration : Spacing narrows while direction remains intact
Consolidation : Averages converge and overlap
Reversal Risk : Faster averages cross back through the slowest average
TREND CONTEXT
The optional fill between the fastest and slowest averages visualizes overall trend pressure. Expanding fill suggests strengthening momentum, while contracting fill highlights compression and potential regime change.
USE CASES
Trend confirmation and directional bias
Momentum expansion vs compression analysis
Identifying trend exhaustion and early reversal zones
Contextual filtering for entries and exits
WHY RAINBOW ROAD
Traditional moving average stacks often produce clutter and redundant signals. Rainbow Road focuses on structure and flow, helping traders evaluate the quality of a trend rather than reacting to individual crossovers.
BEST USED WITH
Price action and market structure
Support and resistance
Volatility or range-based tools
Higher-timeframe trend bias
Rainbow Road is designed to sit quietly on your chart and clearly communicate whether the market is flowing, stalling, or preparing to turn.
Opening Power Bar Strategy (Trade Your Edge)💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW:
The Opening Power Bar Strategy indicator identifies high-momentum “Power Bars” during the first 60 minutes of the New York session and generates Long/Short signals using levels from the pre-market session. The indicator plots Stop-Loss and three Take-Profit levels, manages dynamic trailing stop-loss logic (optional), displays pre-market levels, and supports alerts.
This indicator was developed by Flux Charts in collaboration with Steven Adams (Trade Your Edge).
🔹What is the purpose of the Opening Power Bar Strategy?:
The purpose of the Opening Power Bar Strategy is to trade the most active and meaningful part of the trading day, the opening move. It’s designed to take advantage of the volume and volatility that happens right after the market opens, when traders react to overnight news and pre-market movement. The indicator helps identify when that early move has real strength by looking for a large, decisive candle (a Power Bar) forming around key pre-market levels. Once it detects one, it builds a full trade plan automatically with entry, stop-loss, and take-profits.
🔹Why are signals only during the first 60 minutes?:
Most of the day’s total trading volume happens within the first 60 minutes after the market opens. This period usually sets the high or low of the day and defines the bias: whether the market will trend or stay in a range. After this first hour, volume and volatility typically decrease, and price movement becomes less consistent.
🔹What’s the theory behind the Opening Power Bar Strategy?:
The Opening Power Bar Strategy is built on a simple principle: the first hour after the market open sets the tone for the rest of the day. This period consistently shows the highest trading volume, as traders react to overnight news, economic data releases, pre-market movements, etc.
These early reactions often establish the day’s high/low, revealing where buyers or sellers are strongest. When a large, decisive candle (a Power Bar) forms during this time near the pre-market high or low, it confirms that one side is taking control. The pre-market high and low define the range that institutions and short-term traders had already reacted to before the market open. Thus, when a Power Bar forms near one of these levels during the first hour, it often marks the start of a breakout or rejection that shapes the rest of the session.
🎯 OPENING POWER BAR STRATEGY FEATURES:
The Opening Power Bar Strategy indicator includes 5 main features:
Power Bars
Pre-Market High / Low / Mid Levels
Long / Short Signals + Risk Management
Simple Moving Average (SMA)
Alerts
1️⃣ Power Bars:
🔹What are Power Bars?:
Power Bars are large, high-momentum candles that show strength in one direction of the market. They form when a candle’s body (the distance between open and close) dominates most of the candle’s total range (the distance between high and low), meaning price moved strongly in one direction with little to no pullback. To qualify, the candle must also be large relative to nearby candles. This size difference confirms that the candle is a true burst of momentum. In short, Power Bars reveal where real strength has just entered the market and where momentum is most likely to continue.
🔹How to interpret and use Power Bars:
When a Power Bar forms, it signals that price just made a strong directional move with little to no pullback. Traders can use these bars to identify momentum shifts and potential trade setups during the opening session.
A bullish Power Bar means buyers controlled the entire candle, often marking the start of upward momentum. A bearish Power Bar means sellers were in control the entire candle, often signaling the start of downwards momentum. In the Opening Power Bar Strategy, these candles are only used for signals when they appear within the pre-market high and low range. Their location relative to the pre-market midline determines direction bias:
Bullish Power Bars forming near the pre-market low can signal potential long opportunities.
Bearish Power Bars forming near the pre-market high can signal potential short opportunities.
🔹How are Power Bars identified?:
Power Bars are detected and confirmed only after the candle closes, ensuring that the full candlestick body and range can be measured. The indicator does not repaint or change past bars. Once a Power Bar is confirmed, it stays fixed on the chart. Power Bars can be detected on any timeframe or symbol that produces standard candlestick data. However, since the Opening Power Bar Strategy focuses on the first 60 minutes of the trading session, they’re most meaningful on lower intraday timeframes such as 1-minute to 5-minute charts.
The indicator identifies Power Bars using two user-defined inputs: Sensitivity and Body %.
🔹Sensitivity:
The Sensitivity setting determines how large a candle’s body must be relative to nearby candles. It uses the Average True Range (ATR) to compare the current candle’s size with recent candles, and the Sensitivity value acts as a multiplier of that ATR. A higher Sensitivity value means the candle must be much larger than recent candles to qualify, so fewer Power Bars will form. A lower value makes the filter less strict, allowing more candles to qualify.
🔹Body %:
The Body % setting controls what percentage of the candle’s total range must be body rather than Wick. A higher value requires the body to take up more of the candle’s total range, so fewer candles pass the filter. A lower value allows candles with more wick to qualify, so more Power Bars will form.
Body % Example:
If Body % is set to 50, the candle body must cover at least half of the candle’s total range. For example, if a candle’s high is $11, its low is $10, its open is $10.20, and its close is $10.80, then the total range is $1 ($11 - $10) and the body is $0.60 ($10.80 - $10.20). Body % = (Body / Total Range) * 100 = (0.60 ÷ 1.00 × 100) = 60%. Since 60% is greater than the input of 50%, this candle passes the Body % criteria.
Once a candlestick closes and it meets both the Sensitivity and Body % requirements, it will be plotted in a different color, using barcolor() function. Users can adjust the bullish/bearish colors of Power Bars by adjusting the ‘Candle Coloring’ setting. The Power Bar candle coloring is purely visual and does not affect signal logic or strategy calculations.
🔹Do Power Bars form outside the first 60 minutes?:
Power Bars can technically form at any time of day, but the Opening Power Bar Strategy only uses those formed between 9:30 AM and 10:30 AM ET for trade signals.
2️⃣ Pre-Market Levels
The indicator tracks pre-market price action from 4:10 AM EST until 9:29 AM EST to determine the session’s High and Low. When pre-market ends, both levels are drawn and continuously projected to the right throughout the regular session. A midline is calculated as the midpoint between those levels and is used to determine bullish or bearish bias at the open. This midline is calculated in the indicator’s background and not visually plotted.
Long signals require price to be positioned below the midline before breaking upward, and Short signals require price to be positioned above the midline before breaking downward.
Users can enable retest labels, which appear if price touches the pre-market low, and closes above it, or if price touches the pre-market high, and closes below it. Users can also enable/disable the pre-market levels. If disabled, the pre-market high and pre-market low levels will not be displayed.
3️⃣Long/Short Signals:
Long and Short signals only trigger during the first hour of the New York trading session, between 9:30 AM and 10:30 AM EST. These signals form between the Pre-Market Low (PML) and Pre-Market High (PMH).
▫️ A Long entry requires:
1) A bullish power bar forms
1.a) The candle’s low is < the 50% area or Midpoint of the PML/PMH range
1.b) The candle closes above the PML, but below the PMH
2) If this candle occurs between 09:30 AM and 10:30 AM, a long signal will appear.
▫️ A Short Entry requires:
1) A bearish power bar forms
1a) The candle’s high is > the 50% area or Midpoint of the PML/PMH range
1b) The candle closes below the PMH, but above the PML
2) If this candle occurs between 09:30 AM and 10:30 AM, a short signal will appear.
Only one trade can be active at a time. Users can enable or disable Long Signals and Short Signals independently. Entry markers appear directly on the chart at confirmation.
When a signal is plotted on the Power Bar’s candle close, the indicator automatically builds a rule-based trade structure and plots the following information:
Stop-Loss (SL)
Take-Profit 1 (TP 1)
Take-Profit 2 (TP 2)
Take-Profit 3 (TP 3)
For Long signals, the SL is placed at the low of the bullish Power Bar and TP 1 is placed at the PMH. The distances for TP 2 and TP 3 are then measured using the move from the entry price to TP 1. That same distance is added once above TP 1 to set TP 2, and added again above TP 2 to set TP 3.
For Short signals, the SL is placed at the high of the bearish Power Bar, and TP 1 is placed at the PML. The distances for TP 2 and TP 3 are then measured using the absolute value of the move from the entry price to TP 1. That same distance is subtracted once below TP 1 to set TP 2, and subtracted again below TP 2 to set TP 3.
🔹Trailing Stop-Loss Feature:
When the Trailing Stop-Loss setting is enabled, the Stop-Loss (SL) automatically adjusts as price reaches take-profit levels. This feature helps secure profits while keeping the trade logic completely rule-based and non-discretionary.
Here’s exactly how it works step-by-step:
▫️ Initial Stop-Loss placement:
For a Long trade, the initial SL is set at the low of the Power Bar that triggered the entry.
For a Short trade, the initial SL is set at the high of the Power Bar that triggered the entry.
This level stays fixed until one of the Take-Profit targets is reached.
▫️ After TP 1 is hit:
The SL automatically moves to the entry price (breakeven).
This eliminates all downside risk on the trade.
▫️ After TP2 is hit:
The SL automatically moves to TP 1
This locks in a partial profit while allowing the trade to continue toward TP 3.
▫️ Final exit condition:
The trade is considered complete once either the trailing Stop-Loss or TP 3 is reached.
4️⃣Simple Moving Average (SMA)
In addition to the core trade logic, the indicator includes an optional Simple Moving Average (SMA) that provides extra confirmation and context for interpreting Power Bar signals. The SMA is not related to any of the signal generation logic. It does not influence when or where Power Bars or trade signals appear. Instead, it serves as a contextual confirmation tool and should be used as an additional way to interpret the strength and quality of a setup once a signal is triggered.
There are a few ways the SMA can be used for extra context with the Opening Power Bar Strategy:
▫️ #1 Directional Confirmation:
The SMA is mainly used as a confirmation tool for countertrend Power Bar setups. It helps traders identify when a strong reversal may be developing against the prior trend.
When the SMA is sloping downward but a bullish Power Bar closes above it, that can signal a potential shift from bearish to bullish momentum.
When the SMA is sloping upward but a bearish Power Bar closes below it, that can indicate a possible transition from bullish to bearish conditions.
▫️ #2 Timing Entries
When a large Power Bar prints a signal far away from the SMA, it often indicates that price has moved quickly and temporarily extended away from its average level. In these cases, the SMA can be used as a pullback area where price may retrace before resuming its move. Waiting for this pullback can often lead to a better risk-to-reward trade setup.
For example, in the chart below, a strong bullish Power Bar formed and triggered a Long signal while closing well above the SMA. Entering immediately after the signal would have produced a 0.22 risk-to-reward to TP 1. However, waiting for price to retrace back toward the SMA before entering would have resulted in a much stronger 2.46 risk-to-reward ratio.
The SMA provides a simple way to identify areas for safer pullback entries when a Power Bar signal forms too far from its average level. This helps traders maintain consistency with their risk-to-reward targets and align entries with their trading plan.
▫️ #3 Risk/Trade Management:
During active trades, the SMA can also be used to gauge the healthiness of a trend.
If price continues to respect the SMA after entry, it supports holding the position toward later Take-Profit levels. Additionally, the SMA can highlight areas where traders may consider adding to existing positions if price respects it.
If price closes strongly back through the SMA in the opposite direction, traders may use that as an early exit or a signal that momentum has shifted.
▫️ Optional and Visual Only:
The SMA is an optional visual overlay that can be turned on or off in the indicator’s settings. It is purely there for traders who want an added layer of confirmation and structure when evaluating setups from the Opening Power Bar Strategy.
Users can customize the length of the SMA and the color within the settings.
📢 Alerts:
The indicator supports alerts, so you never miss a key market move. You can choose to receive alerts for each of the following conditions:
Long Signal
Short Signal
TP 1 (Take-Profit 1)
TP 2 (Take-Profit 2)
TP 3 (Take-Profit 3)
SL (Stop-Loss)
Pre-Market Low Retest
Pre-Market High Retest
🚩UNIQUENESS:
This indicator automates a structured opening-range strategy that traders typically manage manually each morning. It identifies valid Power Bars only when they occur inside the pre-market high/low range, confirms direction using pre-market midline context, and automatically builds risk targets using the pre-market range itself. Once a valid trigger occurs during the defined trade window, the indicator immediately generates a complete trade idea (entry/SL/TP 1-3) with built-in trailing logic and alerts.
RSI Monitor (High/Low) + MTF & Time FilterDual-Source RSI: Calculates RSI on the candle High (to detect selling pressure/overbought) and Candle Low (to detect buying pressure/oversold) rather than just the Close.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Dashboard: An on-screen table displays the Real-Time RSI High and Low values for your current chart plus two user-defined higher timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H).
Session-Based Alerts: A built-in time filter restricts alerts to a specific trading window (e.g., 09:30–16:00), effectively blocking signals during low-volume overnight sessions.
Independent Alert Timeframe: You can configure alerts to monitor a specific timeframe (e.g., 60-min) regardless of the timeframe you are currently viewing.
Real-Time Execution: Alerts trigger immediately when levels are crossed (no bar-close confirmation required), ensuring you catch moves as they happen.

The Navigator Fortress (ORB M15 + H4 Filter)To read The Navigator Fortress (v1.4), you simply follow a "top-down" sequence of filters. It moves from the macro-trend (The Compass) to the local boundary (The Harbor) and finally to your execution signal (The Beam).
1. The H4 Compass (The Strategy Filter)
Before you look at the price, look at the Dashboard in the top-right corner.
🧭 COMPASS: BULLISH (Blue): The "Big Ships" are moving up. You are only authorized to take LONG breakouts.
🧭 COMPASS: BEARISH (Orange): The "Big Ships" are moving down. You are only authorized to take SHORT breakouts.
🧭 COMPASS: IN JAWS (Gray): Price is stuck between the H4 10 and 50 EMAs. This is "The Fog." Do not trade, as the win rate drops significantly in this zone.
2. The M15 Harbor (The Field of Play)
At 8:45 AM CST, the script will finish drawing two horizontal lines:
Blue Line (Top): The high of the 8:30–8:45 AM window. This is your resistance wall.
Orange Line (Bottom): The low of that same window. This is your support floor.
The Rule: You are waiting for a candle to close completely outside these lines. A "wick" poking through is not a signal; it is a trap.
3. The Beam & State (The Execution)
When a valid breakout happens that matches your H4 Compass:
The Label: A label will appear above or below the candle saying "LONG" or "SHORT".
The Background: The entire chart background will turn faint Blue or Orange. This tells you the "Harbor is Open" in that direction until the 10:00 AM CST session close.
The Moat (Stop Loss): Check your Alerts tab or phone notification. The script will give you a specific price (e.g., 1.08552). This is your 2.0x ATR "Moat"—place your stop loss here to stay safe from market noise.
🛡️ Summary of the Workflow
Check Compass: Is it Blue, Orange, or Gray?
Wait for 8:45: Let the M15 Harbor lines form.
Wait for the Beam: Did a candle close outside the line?
Drop Anchor: Execute the trade, set your stop at the "Moat" price from the alert, and aim for the next major Daily S/R level or a 2:1 reward.
The Navigator Fortress (ORB M15 + H4 Filter)The Navigator Fortress is a high-probability execution engine designed specifically for the EUR/USD New York open. It utilizes a professional maritime approach to trading, moving away from retail "breakout" guessing and focusing on institutional trend alignment and volatility-based risk management.
The script automates the Opening Range Breakout (ORB) logic, but with a rigorous multi-timeframe "Compass" to filter out low-quality signals and "market noise".
🛡️ Core Pillars of the Script
The H4 Compass (Trend Alignment): The script pulls 4-hour EMA data to ensure you are only trading in the direction of the macro-trend.
Longs: Only authorized if the H4 10 EMA is above the H4 50 EMA and price is trading above both.
Shorts: Only authorized if the H4 10 EMA is below the H4 50 EMA and price is trading below both.
The Jaws: If price is oscillating between the EMAs, the script identifies this as "The Fog" (No-Trade Zone) and suppresses alerts.
The M15 Harbor (Automatic Range Mapping): The script automatically identifies and plots the high and low of the first 15 minutes of the New York session (8:30 AM – 8:45 AM CST).
The 90-Minute Window: Strictly calibrated for the highest volume period. The "Session Gates" close at 10:00 AM CST to prevent overtrading during the mid-day liquidity drop.
The Moat (Volatility-Based Risk): When a "Beam" (alert) fires, the script calculates a dynamic Stop Loss based on 2.0x ATR. This places your exit point beyond normal market noise, protecting you from standard "stop-hunts."
⚓ How to Execute
Alignment: Check the top-right Dashboard. Only look for trades if the Compass is "Bullish" or "Bearish."
The Beam: Wait for a candle to close outside the M15 Harbor lines.
The Entry: Upon a valid close and trend alignment, the script fires a "Beam" alert.
Risk Management: Follow the alert’s specific "Moat" price for your Stop Loss and risk no more than 1% of your account capital.
Technical Specifications
Asset: Optimized for EUR/USD.
Timeframe: M1, M5, or M15 for execution.
Timezone: Hardcoded for America/Chicago (CST) to handle Daylight Savings automatically.
Indicators Used: H4 10/50 EMA, 15-minute Opening Range, 14-period ATR.

MarketMind PRO+M🜁rketMind PRO+ ────────────────────
Advanced Market Interpretation & Conviction Context
M🜁rketMind PRO+ is an advanced market interpretation system designed for traders who require structured insight into alignment, stability, and contextual agreement — without alerts, signals, or hindsight-based indicators.
Rather than issuing instructions or trade direction, M🜁rketMind PRO+ focuses on interpreting how market conditions relate to one another , whether internal agreement is present, and whether the environment supports conviction or restraint.
This script is designed as a standalone interpretive analysis tool. It does not provide execution guidance or predictive guarantees.
WHAT IT DOES ────────────────────
M🜁rketMind PRO+ evaluates current market conditions across multiple analytical dimensions — including macro environment, sector behavior, momentum, structure, liquidity, stability, and session dynamics — and synthesizes them into a structured, human-readable HUD.
In addition to describing what is happening, the system interprets internal agreement and contextual coherence , helping traders understand whether conditions appear supportive, fragile, or transitional.
The script provides insight into:
Market bias and directional alignment
Regime and phase behavior across sessions
Momentum quality, degradation, and stall dynamics
Internal agreement and alignment consistency
Structural stability and transition risk
Contextual factors that may support or undermine conviction
The goal is to clarify how well conditions agree internally , not to tell traders what action to take.
HOW TO USE IT ────────────────────
M🜁rketMind PRO+ is not a signal generator.
It is designed to complement discretionary price action, rule-based systems, or systematic strategies by helping traders evaluate higher-order context, such as:
How aligned are current conditions, and how broad is that agreement?
Is momentum supported, fragile, or deteriorating?
Does the environment appear stable, transitional, or deceptive?
Does this context justify conviction, or suggest restraint?
M🜁rketMind PRO+ emphasizes synthesis over reaction, preserving chart clarity while providing interpretive depth.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY ────────────────────
M🜁rketMind PRO+ is intentionally interpretive.
It focuses on contextual agreement and stability , rather than isolated signals or prescriptive outputs:
Multi-dimensional context and alignment interpretation
Internal agreement and coherence awareness
Stability and transition sensitivity
Session-aware interpretive framing
No alerts, entries, or execution logic
No forward performance claims or guarantees
Nothing is instructed.
Nothing is promised.
This script explains how conditions relate , not what to trade.
WHO IT IS FOR ────────────────────
M🜁rketMind PRO+ is suited for traders who:
Require interpretive context beyond surface-level awareness
Manage exposure across changing regimes
Value understanding alignment, stability, and agreement
Prefer synthesis over single-indicator workflows
It is not designed for:
Buy or sell alerts
Automated execution systems
Traders seeking prescriptive instructions
IMPORTANT NOTES ────────────────────
M🜁rketMind PRO+ does not provide financial advice
No system can predict future price behavior with certainty
This tool is designed to support judgment, not replace it
Used appropriately, M🜁rketMind PRO+ helps traders operate with greater selectivity, contextual clarity, and risk awareness
Apex Trend & Liquidity Master V2.1The Apex Trend & Liquidity Master is a hybrid trading system designed to align traders with the dominant market trend while identifying key structural price levels. Unlike simple moving average crossovers or standalone support/resistance tools, this script integrates a volatility-adaptive "Trend Cloud" with a "Smart Liquidity" engine.
This integration allows the script to offer unique filtering capabilities, such as hiding counter-trend liquidity zones to reduce chart noise and focus on high-probability continuations.
How It Works
Adaptive Trend Cloud The backbone of the system is the Trend Cloud, calculated using a Hull Moving Average (HMA) base with ATR bands. The cloud expands and contracts based on market volatility.
Green Cloud: Bullish Regime. The market is trending up; look for long opportunities.
Red Cloud: Bearish Regime. The market is trending down; look for short opportunities.
Smart Liquidity Zones (with Integration) The script automatically detects Pivot Highs and Lows to draw Supply (Resistance) and Demand (Support) zones. These zones persist until price breaks through them (mitigation).
Integration Feature: A "Filter Zones by Trend" option is included in the settings. When enabled, this feature connects the Trend Cloud to the Liquidity Engine:
It will only display Demand zones when the Trend Cloud is Bullish.
It will only display Supply zones when the Trend Cloud is Bearish.
Note on Lag: Zones are based on pivots (default lookback: 10). A zone appears on the chart 10 bars after the pivot forms. These are historical structural levels.
Signal Filters Buy and Sell labels are generated when the Trend Cloud changes color, but they are filtered to ensure quality:
Volume Filter: Signals only appear if the current volume is higher than the 20-period average.
RSI Filter: Prevents buying when RSI is overbought (>70) or selling when oversold (<30).
Live HUD An on-chart dashboard provides real-time data on:
Trend Bias: Direction of the cloud.
Momentum: RSI strength (Weak/Neutral/Strong).
Volume: High vs. Low activity.
Usage Guide
Identify the Trend: Use the background fill color to determine if you should be looking for longs (Green) or shorts (Red).
Wait for Structure: Look for price to pull back into a "Smart Liquidity" zone. For example, in a Green Trend, wait for price to touch a Green Demand box.
Confirm with Momentum: Check the Dashboard. Ideally, you want to see "Strong" momentum aligning with your trade direction.
Settings: If the chart is too cluttered, enable "Filter Zones by Trend" in the settings menu to hide counter-trend boxes.
Credits & Attribution This script combines original integration logic with adapted open-source concepts:
Smart Liquidity Logic: The method for generating Supply/Demand boxes via Pivot Highs/Lows and array management is adapted from open-source logic commonly used in Smart Money Concepts (SMC) indicators, notably popularized by LuxAlgo and the broader Pine community.
Trend Logic: The volatility cloud utilizes standard Hull Moving Average (HMA) and ATR formulas.

Whale Dash + Colored CandlesIstruzioni per l'uso:
Analisi Rapida: Guarda la dashboard per capire il trend generale e la potenza del volume.
Analisi Visiva: Quando vedi una candela colorata, sai che l'istituzionale ha lasciato l'impronta. Se una candela Oro appare sopra la SMA 50 (Trend Bullish), la probabilità di continuazione è molto alta.
Come usarla per le tue analisi:
Se vedi Potenza > 3.0x e Stato Balena: ATTIVA, guarda la candela corrente. Se è oro ed il trend è BULLISH, è un segnale di acquisto istituzionale.
Se vedi TREND: BEARISH e lo stato balena diventa attivo su una candela viola, le balene stanno scaricando posizioni.
Ingresso Long: Aspetta una candela Oro. Guarda la dashboard: se il Vol. Balena è molto alto (>3.0x), la forza del movimento è reale.
Ingresso Short: Aspetta una candela Viola. Guarda la dashboard: se il Vol. Balena è molto alto (>3.0x), la forza del movimento è reale.
Stop Loss: Posizionalo appena sotto la linea Oro/Viola creata dalla candela balena. Se il prezzo la rompe, l'istituzionale è uscito.
Consiglio:
Attendi sempre la fine dalla candela colorata per capire l'intenzione.
Instructions for use:
Quick Analysis: Look at the dashboard to understand the overall trend and volume strength.
Visual Analysis: When you see a colored candle, you know that the institutional player has left its mark. If a Gold candle appears above the SMA 50 (Bullish Trend), the probability of continuation is very high.
How to use it for your analyses:
If you see Power > 3.0x and Whale Status: ACTIVE, look at the current candle. If it is gold and the trend is BULLISH, it is a signal of institutional buying.
If you see TREND: BEARISH and the whale status becomes active on a purple candle, the whales are offloading positions.
Long Entry: Wait for a Gold candle. Check the dashboard: if Whale Vol. is very high (>3.0x), the strength of the movement is real.
Short Entry: Wait for a Purple candle. Check the dashboard: if Whale Vol. is very high (>3.0x), the strength of the movement is real.
Stop Loss: Place it just below the Gold/Purple line created by the whale candle. If the price breaks it, the institution has exited. Tip: always wait for the colored candle to close to understand the intention.
Market Pressure Regime [Interakktive]The Market Pressure Regime (MPR) is a 4-state market classifier that models how structural forces create "pressure zones" — regions where price movement is either supported (Release) or suppressed (Pinned) by market microstructure.
It combines compression analysis, follow-through efficiency, and stress detection into a composite pressure score, classifying markets into Release, Suppressed, Transition, or Trap states — helping traders understand WHY price is moving (or not moving) in the current environment.
█ USAGE
MPR addresses a core question traders face: Is the market in a regime where directional moves are likely to follow through, or is it structurally pinned?
For swing traders, MPR identifies Release phases where momentum strategies work best, and Suppressed phases where mean reversion dominates.
For day traders, it highlights Trap conditions — high effort with no follow-through — where reversals are probable and trend entries fail.
🔹 The 4-State Model
The indicator classifies markets into four distinct regimes:
• Release (Teal): Pressure score ≥ +5. Directional flow dominates. Price moves efficiently with follow-through. Favor trend continuation.
• Suppressed (Grey): Pressure score ≤ -5. Compression dominates. Price is range-bound or pinned. Fade extremes, expect reversion.
• Transition (Amber): Score between thresholds OR instability detected. Regime is uncertain — wait for confirmation before committing.
• Trap (Magenta): High stress + low follow-through. Effort without result. Expect reversals.
🔹 Reading the Pressure Histogram
The histogram displays the composite Pressure Score (range approximately -100 to +100):
• Positive values: Follow-through exceeds compression. Market is "releasing" — directional moves are supported.
• Negative values: Compression exceeds follow-through. Market is "suppressed" — price movement is constrained.
• Color reflects confirmed state: The histogram uses persistence filtering — a state must hold for N bars before the color changes, preventing false signals from noise.
🔹 The 5-Stage Calculation
MPR synthesizes five analytical stages into the final state:
1. Compression Score: Measures how tight the current range is relative to ATR. High compression suggests structural forces are pinning price.
2. Follow-Through Score: Measures price path efficiency (MER-style). Efficient moves indicate genuine directional flow, not chop.
3. Stress Score: Detects effort-without-result (ERD-style). High volume or range with no price progress = absorption.
4. Composite Pressure: Combines follow-through and compression into a single directional score.
5. Persistence Filter: Requires states to hold for configurable bars before confirming, eliminating flickering.
█ SETTINGS
Core Settings
• ATR Length: Period for volatility normalization. Default 14.
• Baseline Lookback: Period for compression and efficiency baselines. Default 20.
• Volume Average Length: Period for stress calculation baseline. Default 20.
State Classification
• Release Threshold: Pressure score above this = Release. Default +5.
• Suppressed Threshold: Pressure score below this = Suppressed. Default -5.
• Trap Threshold: Stress score above this (with low follow-through) = Trap. Default 30.
• Persistence Bars: Bars required to confirm state change. Default 3.
• Stability Lookback: Period for stability calculation. Default 20.
• Stability Threshold: Below this = forced Transition state. Default 0.5.
Visual Settings
• Show Pressure Histogram: Display the main pressure score histogram.
• Show Zero Line: Display the zero reference line.
• Show Background Tint: Subtle background color by state (default OFF).
Data Window
• Show Data Window Values: Export all calculated scores for analysis.
█ INTERPRETATION GUIDE
When to Use Trend Strategies (Release):
• Histogram tall and positive
• Teal coloring confirmed
• Price making efficient higher highs or lower lows
When to Use Mean Reversion (Suppressed):
• Histogram flat or negative
• Grey coloring confirmed
• Price oscillating without follow-through
When to Wait (Transition):
• Amber coloring
• Mixed signals — don't force trades
• Wait for state to resolve
When to Expect Reversals (Trap):
• Magenta coloring
• High volume moves that don't stick
• Often occurs at structural inflection points
█ COMPLEMENTARY TOOLS
MPR pairs well with:
• Volatility State Index (VSI) — Confirms whether volatility is expanding into the pressure regime
• Effort-Result Divergence (ERD) — Provides bar-by-bar absorption/vacuum detection
• Market Efficiency Ratio (MER) — Validates follow-through quality
█ SUITABLE MARKETS
Works across all liquid markets:
• Equities: SPY, QQQ, liquid single stocks
• Futures: ES, NQ, CL, GC
• Crypto: BTC, ETH
• Forex: Major pairs
Works on any timeframe, but 1H–Daily provides cleanest regime classification. Intraday (5m–15m) useful for session-level tactical decisions.

GC1 Orderflow Engine - sudoTLDR
This indicator measures relative buying and selling pressure by comparing GC1! futures returns against XAU price returns, normalized by their own volatility and weighted by GC1! volume. The result is a pressure histogram and line that show whether futures orderflow is leading, lagging, or diverging from spot gold in real time.
What this indicator does
The Orderflow Engine is designed to answer one core question:
Is GC1! futures orderflow applying net pressure in the same direction as XAU, or pushing against it?
It does this by isolating relative strength and weakness between futures and spot, rather than looking at price direction alone.
How the pressure calculation works
1. GC1! futures returns and XAU returns are calculated bar by bar
2. Each return is normalized by its own recent volatility
3. The normalized XAU return is subtracted from the normalized GC1! return
This creates a relative pressure value:
Positive pressure - GC1! futures are outperforming XAU
Negative pressure - GC1! futures are underperforming XAU
Near zero - futures and spot are moving in balance
To emphasize meaningful activity:
GC1! volume is converted into a normalized score
Higher-than-normal futures volume increases the weight of the pressure
Low-volume pressure is naturally dampened
The final output is clamped to keep the scale stable across different market conditions.
Visual output
Histogram
Green bars - positive futures pressure
Red bars - negative futures pressure
Gray bars - neutral or minimal pressure
Pressure line
A smoother view of the same pressure data
Useful for spotting momentum shifts and divergence
Zero line
Represents balance between futures and spot
Crosses often mark changes in orderflow control
Optional annotations
Regime shift markers based on futures participation
Optional percent-change labels for studying pressure acceleration
How to use it
-Confirm whether price moves are supported by futures orderflow
-Spot early divergence between GC1! and XAU
-Identify absorption , distribution , or initiative behavior
-Filter entries by trading only when pressure aligns with your bias
-This tool is best used as confirmation and context, not as a standalone signal generator.
Design philosophy
-Self-normalizing across sessions and volatility regimes
-No fixed thresholds that break over time
-Focused on relative behavior, not prediction
-Built to pair naturally with the Participation Regime indicator
GC1 Participation Regime - sudoThis indicator analyzes COMEX GC1! futures activity and maps it directly onto your XAU price chart, allowing you to see when gold futures participation meaningfully increases or fades - without cluttering your workflow.
Here is the TLDR version of the description (below):
The "regime" is calculated by measuring how active GC1! futures are, compared to their own recent history. On each bar, the indicator looks at two things - volume (how much trading occurred) and true range (how much price actually moved). Each of these is compared to its recent average using a normalized score, which simply answers whether today’s activity is higher, normal, or lower than usual. Those two normalized values are then combined into a single participation score , optionally smoothed to reduce noise. That score is compared against user-defined thresholds and classified into one of four regimes - Low, Normal, High, or Extreme participation . In short, the regime shows whether current GC1! futures activity is unusually quiet or unusually active relative to its own recent behavior , without making any directional assumptions.
What this indicator does
-Measures GC1! futures volume and true range relative to their own historical behavior using z-scores
-Combines those metrics into a single participation score
-Classifies the market into four participation regimes
Low
Normal
High
Extreme
Projects those regimes directly onto the XAU price chart
Visual elements
Background shading
-Gray - Low participation
-Blue - Normal participation
-Green - High participation
-Orange - Extreme participation
Regime shift markers
-Upward triangle below price when participation increases
-Downward triangle above price when participation decreases
Volume-informed candle coloring (optional)
-High GC volume + bullish candle
-High GC volume + bearish candle
-Low GC volume + bullish candle
-Low GC volume + bearish candle
These visuals help you instantly identify whether price movement is occurring with real futures participation or during thinner conditions.
How to use it
-Identify high-quality environments for execution when participation is elevated
-Filter breakouts, trends, and reversals based on whether GC futures are involved
-Avoid overconfidence during low-participation regimes, where price moves are more prone to failure
-Use regime transitions as context , not signals!!
-This indicator is designed to be contextual , not predictive .
Customization
-Adjustable lookback lengths for volume and range
-Fully tunable regime thresholds
-Optional background shading
-Optional regime shift markers
-Optional candle recoloring based on GC volume behavior
Everything can be dialed up or down depending on how visually minimal you want your chart to be.
Notes
-Built specifically around COMEX GC1! futures
-Designed to disappear if GC data is unavailable
-Works on all intraday and higher timeframes
Friday Statistical Zones - Last 30 Fridays Only BTC 📊 Friday Statistical Zones (Pre / Dump / After)
This indicator highlights statistical risk zones for Fridays, based on the last 30 completed Fridays.
It analyzes historical price and volume behavior to determine:
• When a Pre-Dump phase typically starts
• When selling pressure statistically peaks
• When the After-Dump phase usually occurs
The result is a time-based overlay with three zones:
🟡 Pre-Dump · 🔴 Dump · 🟡 After-Dump
⚠️ This is not a signal indicator.
It does not predict price direction.
It provides risk-timing context only.
Best used for risk management and situational awareness on Fridays, not as a standalone trading strategy.
Volatility State Index [Interakktive]The Volatility State Index (VSI) classifies market volatility into three behavioral states: Expansion, Decay, and Transition. It answers one question visually: Is volatility supporting price movement, withdrawing, or unstable?
Unlike traditional volatility indicators that show levels or bands, VSI diagnoses the current volatility regime so traders can adapt their approach accordingly.
█ WHAT IT DOES
• Classifies volatility into three states: Expansion (teal), Decay (grey), Transition (amber)
• Measures volatility momentum as a percentage rate-of-change
• Applies stability filtering to detect unstable/choppy conditions
• Uses persistence logic to prevent state flickering
• Exports state data for use in alerts and strategies
█ WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
• NO buy/sell signals
• NO entry/exit recommendations
• NO alerts (v1 is diagnostic only)
• NO performance claims
This is a volatility diagnostic tool, not a trading system.
█ HOW IT WORKS
The VSI processes volatility through a five-stage pipeline:
STAGE 1 — Base Volatility
Calculates ATR as the foundation for volatility measurement.
STAGE 2 — Smoothing
Applies EMA smoothing to reduce noise in the volatility series.
STAGE 3 — Volatility Momentum
Computes the percentage rate-of-change of smoothed volatility:
Volatility Momentum (%) = ((Current ATR - Previous ATR) / Previous ATR) × 100
Positive values indicate expanding volatility; negative values indicate contracting volatility.
STAGE 4 — Stability Filter
Tracks how frequently volatility momentum changes direction. Frequent sign changes indicate unstable, choppy conditions.
Stability Score = 1 - (Average Flip Rate)
Low stability forces the Transition state regardless of momentum level.
STAGE 5 — State Classification
Combines momentum thresholds and stability to determine the final state:
• Expansion: Momentum ≥ +5% (default threshold)
• Decay: Momentum ≤ -5% (default threshold)
• Transition: Between thresholds OR low stability
A persistence filter requires states to hold for multiple bars before confirming, preventing visual noise.
█ INTERPRETATION
EXPANSION (Teal)
Volatility is increasing in a sustained way. Price moves are becoming larger.
What it suggests:
• Breakouts are more likely to follow through
• Stops may need wider placement
• Trend-following approaches tend to work better
• Mean-reversion weakens
DECAY (Grey)
Volatility is decreasing. Price is compressing into tighter ranges.
What it suggests:
• Breakouts are more likely to fail
• Ranges tend to hold
• Trend-following underperforms
• Mean-reversion strengthens
TRANSITION (Amber)
Volatility behavior is unclear or unstable. This is NOT neutral — it is uncertainty.
What it suggests:
• Mixed signals — one bar huge, next bar dead
• Higher whipsaw risk
• Reduced conviction in either direction
• Consider waiting for clarity
The key insight: Amber is a warning, not a middle ground. It appears when volatility cannot decide what it wants to do.
█ VISUAL DESIGN
The indicator uses a state-first histogram design:
• Histogram height shows volatility momentum percentage
• Histogram color shows the classified state
• Zero line provides visual anchor
• Optional momentum line for confirmation
• Optional background tint (default OFF for clean charts)
The visual hierarchy prioritizes instant state recognition. A trader should understand the volatility environment in under one second without reading numbers.
█ INPUTS
Core Settings
• ATR Length: Base volatility measurement period (default: 14)
• Smoothing Length: EMA smoothing applied to ATR (default: 10)
• Momentum Length: Rate-of-change lookback (default: 10)
State Classification
• Expansion Threshold (%): Momentum above this = Expansion (default: 5.0)
• Decay Threshold (%): Momentum below this = Decay (default: -5.0)
• Persistence Bars: Bars required to confirm state change (default: 3)
• Stability Lookback: Window for stability calculation (default: 20)
• Stability Threshold: Below this = forced Transition (default: 0.5)
Visual Settings
• Show State Histogram: Toggle main display (default: ON)
• Show Momentum Line: Thin confirmation line (default: OFF)
• Show Zero Line: Baseline reference (default: ON)
• Show Background Tint: Subtle state coloring (default: OFF)
█ DATA WINDOW EXPORTS
When enabled, the following values are exported:
• ATR (Raw)
• ATR (Smoothed)
• Volatility Momentum (%)
• Stability Score (0-1)
• State (-1/0/1): Decay = -1, Transition = 0, Expansion = 1
• Is Expansion (0/1)
• Is Decay (0/1)
• Is Transition (0/1)
These exports allow VSI to be used as a filter in Pine Script strategies or alert conditions.
█ ORIGINALITY
While ATR and volatility indicators are common, VSI is original because it:
1. Classifies volatility into behavioral states rather than showing raw levels
2. Applies momentum analysis to volatility itself (rate-of-change of ATR)
3. Uses stability filtering to detect genuinely unstable conditions
4. Implements persistence logic to prevent state flickering
5. Provides a state-first visual design optimized for instant recognition
VSI is state-first: it classifies volatility regimes (Expansion/Decay/Transition) rather than plotting volatility level alone, using momentum and stability to reduce false regime reads.
This is not a modified ATR or Bollinger Band — it is a volatility regime classifier.
█ SUITABLE MARKETS
Works on: Stocks, Futures, Forex, Crypto
Timeframes: All timeframes — state classification adapts accordingly
Best on: Instruments with consistent volatility patterns

### **1. Intensity-Based Coloring** 🔥
Traditional indicators show static colors. **Guru Dronacharya Pro** uses dynamic brightness:
- **Dim Candles** = Low activity (avoid these setups)
- **Medium Brightness** = Building momentum (watch closely)
- **Bright Candles** = High activity (trade opportunities!) 🔥🔥
This helps you:
✅ Focus on liquid, moving options
✅ Avoid low-volume, dead zones
✅ Identify institutional money flow
✅ Time entries during volatility expansion
### **2. Smart Strike Selection**
No more guessing which strike to trade! The indicator:
- Scans multiple strikes simultaneously
- Finds pairs with balanced premiums
- Filters out illiquid options
- Highlights the best trading pair
### **3. Multi-Timeframe Compatible**
Works on any timeframe:
- **1-5 min**: Scalping and day trading
- **15-30 min**: Intraday swing trades
- **1H+**: Positional option strategies

CVD & Big Trade Detector By HKOverview The CVD & Big Trade Detector By HK offers a unique perspective on Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD). This indicator utilizes Floating Bars (Candles) to visualize the cumulative buying and selling pressure. This design allows you to clearly see the net delta of each specific candle relative to the cumulative trend.
Additionally, it integrates the "Big Trade" algorithm to highlight statistically significant volume anomalies (Whale activity) directly on the CVD bars.
How it Works Since standard volume data does not always provide buy/sell splitting, this script estimates intrabar pressure using price action logic:
Buying Pressure: Calculated based on the push from the Low to the Close.
Selling Pressure: Calculated based on the push from the High to the Close.
The indicator then calculates the Delta (Buy Vol - Sell Vol) and accumulates it.
Floating Bars: Instead of plotting from the zero-line, each bar opens at the previous CVD value and closes at the new cumulative value.
Teal/Green Bar: Net buying in the current period (CVD increased).
Maroon/Red Bar: Net selling in the current period (CVD decreased).
Key Features
Floating CVD Structure: Prevents the "barcode effect" common in histogram CVDs. It provides a clean, candle-like view of momentum accumulation.
Whale Detection:
The script calculates the moving average and standard deviation (Sigma) of the buying/selling volume.
Green Dots: Appear when buying volume exceeds the statistical threshold (Signifying a "Big Buy").
Red Dots: Appear when selling volume exceeds the statistical threshold (Signifying a "Big Sell").
Precise Positioning: Whale markers are plotted exactly at the closing value of the CVD bar, showing you exactly where the volume spike impacted the delta.
How to Use
Divergences: Look for situations where Price makes a Higher High, but the CVD Bars fail to make a new high (bearish divergence).
Absorption: If you see a Large Whale Dot on a very small CVD bar (doji-like), it indicates massive volume fighting for direction with little net result—often a sign of absorption or a pending reversal.
Trend Confirmation: Strong floating bars in the direction of the trend, accompanied by Whale Dots, confirm smart money participation.
Settings
Lookback Period: Defines the baseline for the statistical volume calculation (default: 50).
Sensitivity (Sigma): Adjusts how strict the "Whale" detection is (default: 3.0). Higher values = fewer, more significant signals.
Colors: Fully customizable colors for Up/Down bars and Buy/Sell markers.
