Smart Money Footprint & Cost Basis Engine [AlgoPoint]Smart Money Footprint & Cost Basis Engine
This indicator is a comprehensive market analysis tool designed to identify the "footprints" of Smart Money (institutions, whales) and pinpoint high-probability reaction zones. Instead of relying on lagging averages, this engine analyzes the very structure of the market to find where large players have shown their hand.
How It Works: The Core Logic
The indicator operates on a multi-stage confirmation process to identify and validate Smart Money zones:
Smart Money Detection (The Trigger): The engine first scans the chart for signs of intense, urgent buying or selling. It does this by identifying Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) created by large, high-volume Displacement Candles. This is our initial Point of Interest (POI).
Cost Basis Calculation (The Average Price): Once a potential Smart Money move is detected, the indicator calculates the Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) for that specific move. This gives us a highly accurate estimate of the average price at which the large players entered their positions.
Historical Confirmation (The "Memory"): This is the indicator's most unique feature. It checks its historical database to see if a similar Smart Money move (in the same direction) has occurred in the same price area in the past. If a match is found, the zone's significance is confirmed.
Verified Cost Basis Zone (The Final Output): A zone that passes all the above checks is drawn on the chart as a high-probability Verified Cost Basis Zone. These are the "memory zones" where the market is likely to react upon a re-visit.
How to Use This Indicator
Cost Basis Zones (The Boxes):
Green Boxes: Bullish zones where Smart Money likely accumulated positions. When the price returns here, a BUY reaction is expected.
Red Boxes: Bearish zones where Smart Money likely distributed positions. When the price returns here, a SELL reaction is expected.
Zone Strength (★★★): Each zone is created with a star rating. More stars indicate a higher-confidence zone (based on factors like volume intensity and historical confirmation).
BUY/SELL Signals: A signal is only generated when the price enters a zone AND the confirmation filters (if enabled in the settings) are passed.
Zone Statuses:
Green/Red: Active and waiting to be tested.
Gray: The zone has been tested, and a signal was produced.
Dark Gray (Invalidated): The zone was broken decisively and is no longer considered valid support/resistance.
Key Settings
Signal Accuracy Filters: You can enable/disable three powerful filters to balance signal quantity and quality:
Momentum Confirmation (Stoch): Waits for momentum to align with the zone's direction.
Candlestick Confirmation (Engulfing): Waits for a strong reversal candle inside the zone.
Lower Timeframe MSS Confirmation: The most advanced filter; waits for a trend shift on a lower timeframe before giving a signal.
Historical Confirmation:
Require Historical Confirmation: Toggle the "Memory" feature on/off. Turn it off to see all potential SM zones.
Tolerance Calculation Method: Choose between a dynamic ATR Multiplier (recommended for all-around use) or a fixed Percentage to define the zone size.
Concept
GainzAlgo ProI bought an indicator from GainzAlgo, but it turned out they are deceiving people with advertising and selling a fake indicator.
Don’t trust the videos they show on TikTok and other social media.
This is the indicator and script they are selling.
You can try it if you want, but my recommendation is: GainzAlgo is a scam, they trick people and take their money.
Student Wyckoff RS Symbol/MarketRelative Strength Indicator STUDENT WYCKOFF RS SYMBOL/MARKET
Description
The Relative Strength (RS) Indicator compares the price performance of the current financial instrument (e.g., a stock) against another instrument (e.g., an index or another stock). It is calculated by dividing the closing price of the first instrument by the closing price of the second, then multiplying by 100. This provides a percentage ratio that shows how one instrument outperforms or underperforms another. The indicator helps traders identify strong or weak assets, spot market leaders, or evaluate an asset’s performance relative to a benchmark.
Key Features
Relative Strength Calculation: Divides the closing price of the current instrument by the closing price of the second instrument and multiplies by 100 to express the ratio as a percentage.
Simple Moving Average (SMA): Applies a customizable Simple Moving Average (default period: 14) to smooth the data and highlight trends.
Visualization: Displays the Relative Strength as a blue line, the SMA as an orange line, and colors bars (blue for rising, red for falling) to indicate changes in relative strength.
Flexibility: Allows users to select the second instrument via an input field and adjust the SMA period.
Applications
Market Comparison: Assess whether a stock is outperforming an index (e.g., S&P 500 or MOEX) to identify strong assets for investment.
Sector Analysis: Compare stocks within a sector or against a sector ETF to pinpoint leaders.
Trend Analysis: Use the rise or fall of the RS line and its SMA to gauge the strength of an asset’s trend relative to another instrument.
Trade Timing: Bar coloring helps quickly identify changes in relative strength, aiding short-term trading decisions.
Interpretation
Rising RS: Indicates the first instrument is outperforming the second (e.g., a stock growing faster than an index).
Falling RS: Suggests the first instrument is underperforming.
SMA as a Trend Filter: If the RS line is above the SMA, it may signal strengthening performance; if below, weakening performance.
Settings
Instrument 2: Ticker of the second instrument (default: QQQ).
SMA Period: Period for the Simple Moving Average (default: 14).
Notes
The indicator works on any timeframe but requires accurate ticker input for the second instrument.
Ensure data for both instruments is available on the selected timeframe for precise analysis.

Goldbach Time Indicator🔧 Key Fixes Applied:
1. Time Validation & Bounds Checking:
Hour/Minute Bounds: Ensures hours stay 0-23, minutes stay 0-59
Edge Case Handling: Prevents invalid time calculations from causing missing data
UTC Conversion Safety: Better handling of timezone edge cases
2. Enhanced Value Validation:
NA Checking: Validates all calculated values before using them
Goldbach Detection: Only flags valid, non-NA values as Goldbach hits
Plot Safety: Prevents plotting invalid or NA values that could cause gaps
3. Improved Plot Logic:
Core Level Colors: Blue for core levels (29,35,71,77), yellow/lime/orange for regular hits
Debug Mode Enhanced: Shows all calculations with gray dots when enabled
Better Filtering: Only plots positive, valid values for minus calculations
4. Background vs Dots Issue:
The large green/blue background you see suggests the indicator is detecting Goldbach times correctly, but the dots weren't plotting due to validation issues. This should now be fixed.

Control Point System📊 Control Zone Strategy - Trading System Summary
🎯 Core Concept
Trade based on control zone breaks where buyers take over seller zones (bullish) or sellers take over buyer zones (bearish).
📍 Key Levels Setup
Seller Control Zones (Resistance)
PMH (Pre Market High) - Where sellers stopped buyers
YDH (Yesterday High) - Where sellers stopped buyers
Buyer Control Zones (Support)
PML (Pre Market Low) - Where buyers stopped sellers
YDL (Yesterday Low) - Where buyers stopped sellers
📈 EMA System
200 EMA (Purple) - Trend Filter: Above = Bullish bias | Below = Bearish bias
48 EMA (Red) - Last line of defense for pullbacks/shorts
13 EMA (Green) - Pullback levels (if above 200) or Short levels (if below 200)
8 EMA (Orange) - Exit indicator
⚡ Entry Signals
BULLISH Setup (Buyers Take Control)
Condition: Price breaks above PMH or YDH (seller zones)
Confirmation: Above 200 EMA for bullish trend
Entry: Use 5-minute timeframe for precise entries
Logic: Buyers have overpowered seller control zones
BEARISH Setup (Sellers Take Control)
Condition: Price breaks below PML or YDL (buyer zones)
Confirmation: Below 200 EMA for bearish trend
Entry: Use 5-minute timeframe for precise entries
Logic: Sellers have overpowered buyer control zones
🚪 Exit Strategy
Main Exit Rule
Exit Signal: Full candle close above 8 EMA on 5 or 10-minute chart
Runners: Take partial profits along the way, let runners ride until 8 EMA exit
Profit Taking
Scale out at key resistance/support levels
Use Daily 13 EMA as potential exit target
Trail stops using 8 EMA
⏰ Timeframes
Entry: 5-minute chart
Exit Monitoring: 5-minute or 10-minute chart for 8 EMA signals
PMH/PML: Calculated from 4:00 AM - 8:29 AM EST premarket session
🎯 Quick Decision Matrix
ScenarioActionBiasBreak above PMH/YDH + Above 200 EMABUYBullishBreak below PML/YDL + Below 200 EMASELLBearishFull candle close above 8 EMAEXITNeutralPrice at 13/48 EMA + Trend intactAdd/ScaleContinue
💡 Key Rules
Trend is king - Always check 200 EMA first
Zone breaks = control shifts - Trade in direction of new control
8 EMA exit - Respect the exit signal to preserve profits
Scale profits - Don't exit everything at once, use runners
Bottom Line: Trade the battle for control between buyers and sellers at key levels, with trend as your guide and 8 EMA as your exit!
Supercharged Scalping Indicator v1 No repaintSupercharged Scalping Indicator with:
✅ Buy/Sell arrows (no repaint).
✅ EMA50, EMA200, VWAP, ATR bands plotted for context.
✅ Momentum + volume confirmation.
✅ Color-coded background when confluence is strong.
⚡ How It Works
Trend filter: EMA50 vs EMA200 decides bullish/bearish bias.
VWAP + ATR bands: Confirms pullback zones for scalping entries.
Momentum: RSI > 50 & MACD > 0 for longs, RSI < 50 & MACD < 0 for shorts.
Volume: Only fire signals when above average volume → avoids dead zones.
Candle confirmation: Requires strong-bodied candle (no tiny indecision bars).
Non-repaint: All signals confirmed on bar close.
Wickless Tap Signals Wickless Tap Signals — TradingView Indicator (v6)
A precision signal-only tool that marks BUY/SELL events when price “retests” the base of a very strong impulse candle (no wick on the retest side) in the direction of trend.
What it does (in plain English)
Finds powerful impulse candles:
Bull case: a green candle with no lower wick (its open ≈ low).
Bear case: a red candle with no upper wick (its open ≈ high).
Confirms trend with an EMA filter:
Only looks for bullish bases while price is above the EMA.
Only looks for bearish bases while price is below the EMA.
Waits for the retest (“tap”):
Later, if price revisits the base of that wickless candle
Bullish: taps the candle’s low/open → BUY signal
Bearish: taps the candle’s high/open → SELL signal
Optional level “consumption” so each base can trigger one signal, not many.
The idea: a wickless impulse often marks strong initiative order flow. The first retest of that base frequently acts as a springboard (bull) or ceiling (bear).
Exact rules (formal)
Let tick = syminfo.mintick, tol = tapTicks * tick.
Trend filter
inUp = close > EMA(lenEMA)
inDn = close < EMA(lenEMA)
Wickless impulse candles (confirmed on bar close)
Bullish wickless: close > open and abs(low - open) ≤ tol
Bearish wickless: close < open and abs(high - open) ≤ tol
When such a candle closes with trend alignment:
Store bullTapLevel = low (for bull case) and its bar index.
Store bearTapLevel = high (for bear case) and its bar index.
Signals (must happen on a later bar than the origin)
BUY: low ≤ bullTapLevel + tol and inUp and bar_index > bullBarIdx
SELL: high ≥ bearTapLevel - tol and inDn and bar_index > bearBarIdx
One-shot option
If enabled, once a signal fires, the stored level is cleared so it won’t trigger again.
Inputs (Settings)
Trend EMA Length (lenEMA): Default 200.
Use 50–100 for intraday, 200 for swing/position.
Tap Tolerance (ticks) (tapTicks): Default 1.
Helps account for tiny feed discrepancies. Set 0 for strict equality.
One Signal per Level (oneShot): Default ON.
If OFF, multiple taps can create multiple signals.
Plot Tap Levels (plotLevels): Draws horizontal lines at active bases.
Show Pattern Labels (showLabels): Marks the origin wickless candles.
Plots & Visuals
EMA trend line for context.
Tap Levels:
Green line at bullish base (origin candle’s low/open).
Red line at bearish base (origin candle’s high/open).
Signals:
BUY: triangle-up below the bar on the tap.
SELL: triangle-down above the bar on the tap.
Labels (optional):
Marks the original wickless impulse candle that created each level.
Alerts
Two alert conditions are built in:
“BUY Signal” — fires when a bullish tap occurs.
“SELL Signal” — fires when a bearish tap occurs.
How to set:
Add the indicator to your chart.
Click Alerts (⏰) → Condition = this indicator.
Choose BUY Signal or SELL Signal.
Set your alert frequency and delivery method.
Recommended usage
Timeframes: Works on any; start with 5–15m intraday, or 1H–1D for swing.
Markets: Equities, futures, FX, crypto. For thin/illiquid assets, consider a slightly larger Tap Tolerance.
Confluence ideas (optional, but helpful):
Higher-timeframe trend agreeing with your chart timeframe.
Volume surge on the origin wickless candle.
S/R, order blocks, or SMC structures near the tap level.
Avoid major news moments when slippage is high.
No-repaint behavior
Origin patterns are detected only on bar close (barstate.isconfirmed), so bases are created with confirmed data.
Signals come after the origin bar, on subsequent taps.
There is no lookahead; lines and shapes reflect information known at the time.
(As with all real-time indicators, an intrabar tap can trigger an alert during the live bar; the signal then remains if that condition held at bar close.)
Known limitations & design choices
Single active level per side: The script tracks only the most recent bullish base and most recent bearish base.
Want a queue of multiple simultaneous bases? That’s possible with arrays; ask and we’ll extend it.
Heikin Ashi / non-standard candles: Wick definitions change; for consistent behavior use regular OHLC candles.
Gaps: On large gaps, taps can occur instantly at the open. Consider one-shot ON to avoid rapid repeats.
This is an indicator, not a strategy: It does not place trades or compute PnL. For backtesting, we can convert it into a strategy with SL/TP logic (ATR or structure-based).
Practical tips
Tap Tolerance:
If you miss obvious taps by a hair, increase to 1–2 ticks.
For FX/crypto with tiny ticks, even 0 or 1 is often enough.
EMA length:
Shorten for faster signals; lengthen for cleaner trend selection.
Risk management (manual suggestion):
For BUY signals, consider a stop slightly below the tap level (or ATR-based).
For SELL signals, consider a stop slightly above the tap level.
Scale out or trail using structure or ATR.
Quick checklist
✅ Price above EMA → watch for a green no-lower-wick candle → store its low → BUY on tap.
✅ Price below EMA → watch for a red no-upper-wick candle → store its high → SELL on tap.
✅ Use Tap Tolerance to avoid missing precise touches by one tick.
✅ Consider One Signal per Level to keep trades uncluttered.
FAQ
Q: Why did I not get a signal even though price touched the level?
A: Check Tap Tolerance (maybe too strict), trend alignment at the tap bar, and that the tap happened after the origin candle. Also confirm you’re on regular candles.
Q: Can I see multiple bases at once?
A: This version tracks the latest bull and bear bases. We can extend to arrays to keep N recent bases per side.
Q: Will it repaint?
A: No. Bases form on confirmed closes, and signals only on later bars.
Q: Can I backtest it?
A: This is a study. Ask for the strategy variant and we’ll add entries, exits, SL/TP, and stats.
Approx STH Unrealized Profit [Relative %]This indicator estimates the unrealized profit or loss of short-term holders (STH) without requiring on-chain data. Instead of using actual STH Realized Price (average purchase price), it employs a 155-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) to approximate the behavior of "recent buyers."
How It Works
The indicator calculates the percentage deviation between the current price and the 155-day SMA using the formula:
(Current Price - 155 SMA) / 155 SMA * 100%.
Positive values indicate profit, while negative values show loss. Key threshold levels are set at +50% (overbought) and -30% (oversold).
Trading Applications
Profit > 50% - STH are experiencing significant profits, suggesting potential correction. Consider taking partial profits.
0% < Profit < 50% - Moderate profits indicate the trend may continue. Maintain positions.
Profit ≈ 0% - Price is near STH's average entry point, showing market indecision.
-30% < Profit < 0% - STH are at a loss, potentially signaling accumulation opportunities.
Profit < -30% - Extreme oversold conditions may present buying opportunities.
Limitations
SMA only approximates STH behavior.
May produce false signals during sideways markets.
SMA lag can be noticeable in strong trending markets.
Recommendation
For improved accuracy, combine this indicator with trend-following tools (200 EMA, Volume analysis) and other technical indicators. It serves best as a supplementary tool for identifying overbought/oversold market conditions within your trading strategy.
ICT NY Opens (12AM/8:30/9:30)This indicator plots three key New York session reference levels used by ICT traders and intraday scalpers: the Midnight Open (12:00 AM EST), the 8:30 AM EST level (common macro print window), and the 9:30 AM EST RTH open. Each line is drawn at that day’s opening price for the specified time and extends horizontally to 4:15 PM TDC so you always have clean, fixed anchors for the entire trading day.
