First Presented Fair Value Gap [TakingProphets]🧠 Indicator Purpose:
The "First Presented Fair Value Gap" (FPFVG) by Taking Prophets is a precision tool designed for traders utilizing Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts. It automatically detects and highlights the first valid Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms between 9:30 AM and 10:00 AM New York time — one of the most critical windows in ICT-based trading frameworks.
It also plots the Opening Range Equilibrium (the average of the previous day's 4:14 PM close and today's 9:30 AM open) — a key ICT reference point for premium/discount analysis.
🌟 What Makes This Indicator Unique:
This script is highly specialized for early session trading and offers:
Automatic Detection: Finds the first Fair Value Gap after the 9:30 AM NYSE open.
Clear Visualization: Highlights the FVG zone and labels it with optional time stamps.
Equilibrium Line: Plots the Opening Range Equilibrium for instant premium/discount context.
Time-Sensitive Logic: Limits detection to the most volatile early session (9:30 AM - 10:00 AM).
Extension Options: You can extend both the FVG box and Equilibrium line out to 3:45 PM (end of major session liquidity).
⚙️ How the Indicator Works (Detailed):
Pre-Market Setup:
Captures the previous day's 4:14 PM close.
Captures today's 9:30 AM open.
Calculates the Equilibrium (midpoint between the two).
After 9:30 AM (New York Time):
Monitors each 1-minute candle for the creation of a Fair Value Gap:
Bullish FVG: Low of the current candle is above the high two candles ago.
Bearish FVG: High of the current candle is below the low two candles ago.
The first valid gap is boxed and optionally labeled.
Post-Detection Management:
The FVG box and label extend forward in time until 3:45 PM (or the current time, based on settings).
If enabled, the Equilibrium line and label also extend to help with premium/discount analysis.
🎯 How to Use It:
Step 1: Wait for market open (9:30 AM New York time).
Step 2: Watch for the first presented FVG on the 1-minute chart.
Step 3: Use the FPFVG zone to guide entries (retracements, rejections, or breaks).
Step 4: Use the Opening Range Equilibrium to determine premium vs. discount conditions:
Price above Equilibrium = Premium market.
Price below Equilibrium = Discount market.
Best Application:
In combination with ICT Killzones, especially during the London or New York Open.
When framing intraday bias and identifying optimal trade locations based on liquidity theory.
🔎 Underlying Concepts:
Fair Value Gaps: Price imbalances where liquidity is likely inefficient and future rebalancing can occur.
Opening Range Equilibrium: Key ICT price anchor used to separate premium and discount conditions post-open.
Time-Gated Setup: Limits focus to early session price action, aligning with inner circle trader timing models.
🎨 Customization Options:
FVG color, label visibility, and label size.
Opening Range Equilibrium line visibility and label styling.
Extend lines and boxes to 3:45 PM automatically for full session tracking.
✅ Recommended for:
Traders applying Inner Circle Trader (ICT) models.
Intraday scalpers or day traders trading the New York session open.
Traders who want to frame early session bias and liquidity traps effectively.
Rejection Blocks [Taking Prophets]🧠 Indicator Purpose:
The "Rejection Blocks" indicator is built for traders using Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts. It identifies key reversal zones where price action shows strong rejection through wick-dominant behavior around major swing points — often signaling institutional activity. Traders can use these rejection blocks to anticipate future support, resistance, and mitigation zones based on ICT principles.
🌟 What Makes This Indicator Unique:
Unlike standard support/resistance indicators, this script detects true rejection points by filtering only candles where the wick is significantly larger than the body, confirming potential order flow shifts according to ICT methodology.
It not only marks these zones but also:
Dynamically extends the blocks into the future.
Deletes blocks that get invalidated (mitigation logic).
Optionally plots a 50% midline within each block to refine entry or exit precision.
⚙️ How the Indicator Works:
Swing Detection: Identifies significant highs and lows based on pivot structures.
Rejection Filtering: Confirms strong rejections with wick-to-body ratio validation.
Block Creation: Highlights bullish or bearish rejection zones with customizable visuals.
Midline Plotting: (Optional) Marks the 50% midpoint of the block for entry targeting.
Mitigation and Cleanup: Blocks are deleted automatically when their structure is invalidated, maintaining a clean and accurate chart view.
🎯 How to Use It:
Identify Reaction Zones: Use rejection blocks as potential areas for price reversals or consolidations.
Plan Trade Entries: Monitor retests of the block boundaries or 50% lines for precision entries.
Manage Risk: If price closes beyond the block, treat it as a potential invalidation or Change in State of Delivery (CISD) event.
Best Contexts:
Near higher timeframe Points of Interest (POIs) such as Order Blocks or Fair Value Gaps.
During ICT Killzones (London Open, New York AM).
🔎 Underlying Concepts:
Wick Rejections: Indicate strong liquidity rejection, aligning with ICT liquidity sweep theories.
Mitigation Behavior: Blocks often serve as revisit zones where price rebalances after an aggressive move.
Adaptive Market Behavior: Rejection Blocks adjust dynamically based on real-time price action according to ICT market structure logic.
🎨 Customization Options:
Bullish and Bearish block colors with adjustable opacity.
Border visibility, border width, and 50% midline display toggles.
Label size customization for optimal chart clarity.
✅ Recommended for:
Traders following Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts.
Scalpers, intraday, and swing traders seeking accurate reversal and mitigation zones.
Traders looking to improve precision around liquidity rejection events.
OTC IndicatorThis OTC (Bernd Skorupinski) inspired indicator shows the US Bond Futures, Gold Futures, and Dollar Index at the same time. This is an important tool, as when all 3 instruments are aligned, it is a strong confluence to support a bullish or bearish shift in the market.

Prop Firm Guard: Risk & Sizing Tracker by TFTProp Firm Guard: Risk & Sizing Tracker by TFT
Overview:
This script is designed to help prop firm traders stay within risk rules and avoid emotional overtrading. It tracks your max loss limits, daily loss rules, and gives real-time position sizing suggestions based on your account status.
This tool is especially helpful for newer traders navigating prop firm challenges and rules like trailing drawdowns and daily stopouts.
Key Features:
✅ Real-time tracking of max loss and daily loss limits
✅ Supports both Intraday and End-of-Day (EOD) drawdown styles
✅ Calculates remaining “distance” to max/daily loss levels
✅ Automatically locks max loss once it trails up to starting balance
✅ Provides smart, tier-based position sizing suggestions (5%–50%)
✅ Shows profit target progress and live daily P&L
Use Case Example:
Let’s say you’re trading a $50,000 prop account with a $2,000 max drawdown limit.
If you're using Intraday Drawdown:
• You start the day at $50,000.
• During the day, your balance grows to $51,000 (including unrealized profits).
• The drawdown logic will trail this intraday high — so your new max loss limit becomes $49,000 (51K - 2K).
• If your balance drops to $49,400, this tool will show you’re $400 away from breaching the limit.
• Sizing suggestions will adjust accordingly to keep you in a safe range.
If you're using End-of-Day (EOD) Drawdown:
• The same scenario (account grows to $51,000 intraday) won’t affect your max loss limit immediately.
• EOD drawdown is only updated based on your end-of-day closing balance.
• So even if you hit $51K intraday, your max loss limit still remains at $48,000 (50K - 2K) until the trading day closes and updates your best equity.
• This mode offers more flexibility during the day — and the tool reflects this in how it calculates distances and sizing.
📌 It will then suggest a conservative sizing range — maybe 5–10% of your allowed contract size — until you're safer again.
📌 Make sure you update your current balance after each trade and follow your risk settings.
Inputs Explained (with Tips):
• Overall Account Starting Balance: Your full prop account size (e.g., 50000 or 100000, 150000, 300000, so on)
• Day Start Balance: What your balance was when the trading day started
• Daily Max Loss: How much you’re allowed to lose in one day (used only for EOD drawdown)
• Daily Profit Target: Your goal for the day (e.g., 500 or 1000 or so on)
• Allowed Overall Drawdown: Usually 4% for prop firms — like 2000 on 50K, or 6000 on 300K
• Drawdown Mode:
→ Intraday: Includes floating/unrealized profits in drawdown logic
→ EOD: Uses only end-of-day equity for drawdown logic
• Best Day High: Your highest balance to date. If not above your starting balance, this is ignored
• Intraday High (Manual): Optional override if your peak balance isn’t same as equity (used only for intraday drawdown mode)
• Current Equity: Update this during the session to reflect your live balance — everything else updates automatically
What You’ll See on the Chart:
🟩 Equity Section: Start balance, current balance, intraday high, best day high
🟥 Risk Section:
• Max loss limit (based on trailing logic)
• Distance from current balance to that limit
• Daily loss limit and distance (EOD mode only)
🟦 Performance Metrics:
• Daily P&L in $ and %
• Progress to profit target (shows ✅ Accomplished when goal is hit)
📦 Sizing Suggestion:
Based on how close you are to a drawdown breach, and your total drawdown tier.
Ranges from ⚠️ 5–10% to ✅ 40–50% of your max allowed contract size.
Who It's Best For:
• Built and optimized for 50K prop firm accounts
• Works well with 100K, 150K, or even 300K — but the sizing logic is most precise at 50K
• Best suited for futures or forex prop firm traders using account challenge-style rules
Manual Input Required:
Due to TradingView limitations, we cannot read your actual trades or live balance.
You'll need to update the Current Equity field yourself — but the rest is auto-calculated from there.
Most inputs (like overall balance and drawdown) are set once and rarely changed.
Beta Notice:
This tool is currently in beta and under testing. It's free for now and designed to help the trading community — but accuracy may vary.
Please send feedback if you'd like to suggest improvements or report bugs.

Bull Flag DetectionThe FuturesGod bull flag indicator aims to identify the occurrence of bull flags.
Bull flags are a popular trading pattern that allows users to gauge long entries into a given market. Flags consist of a pole that is followed by either a downward or sideways consolidation period.
This script can be used on any market but was intended for futures (NQ, ES) trading on the intraday timeframe.
The script does the following:
1. Identifies the occurrence of a flag pole. This is based on a lookback period and percentage threshold decided by the user.
2. Marks the consolidation area after the pole occurrence using swing highs and swing lows.
3. Visually the above is represented by a shaded green area.
4. When a pole is detected, it is marked by a downward off-white triangle. Note that if the percentage threshold is reached several times on the same upward climb, the script will continue to identify points where the threshold for pole detection is met.
5. Also visualized are the 20, 50 and 200 period exponential moving averages. The area between the 20 and 50 EMAs are shaded to provide traders a visual of a possible support area.
REMA CROSSOVER BY JUGNUThis indicator triggers alerts for long and short positions on DAILY TIME FRAME for SWING trades based on the conditions which described below. This script will generate alerts when the following conditions are met:
LONG POSITION:
RSI(14) above 50.
EMA(5) crosses above EMA(10).
Indicator Triangle Green below price bars
SHORT POSITION:
RSI(14) below 50.
EMA(5) crosses down EMA(10).
Indicator Triangle RED above price bars
This script plots green and red triangles below and above the price bars to indicate long and short alert conditions, respectively. It also triggers alerts when these conditions are met.
BB_MDL_V1Simple indicator that is based on the average line of the bollinger bands and the exponential average of 200 periods.
The customizable variable is bollinger bands length, currently the default is 35, you can tweak it to your liking and see how trend identification changes.
My recommendation is to work in 5-minute time frames in values such as SOL, FTM or MASK (cryptos)
This simple strategy can be combined with many others to gain more insight and get better market entries and exits.
Failed Breakdown Detection'Failed Breakdowns' are a popular set up for long entries.
In short, the set up requires:
1) A significant low is made ('initial low')
2) Initial low is undercut with a new low
3) Price action then 'reclaims' the initial low by moving +8-10 points from the initial low
This script aims at detecting such set ups. It was coded with the ES Futures 15 minute chart in mind but may be useful on other instruments and time frames.
Business Logic:
1) Uses pivot lows to detect 'significant' initial lows
2) Uses amplitude threshold to detect a new low beneath the initial low; used /u/ben_zen script for this
3) Looks for a valid reclaim - a green candle that occurs within 10 bars of the new low
4) Price must reclaim at least 8 points for the set up to be valid
5) If a signal is detected, the initial low value (pivot low) is stored in array that prevents duplicate signals from being generated.
6) FBD Signal is plotted on the chart with "X"
7) Pivot low detection is plotted on the chart with "P" and a label
8) New lows are plotted on the chart with a blue triangle
Notes:
User input
- My preference is to use the defaults as is, but as always feel free to experiment
- Can modify pivot length but in my experience 10/10 work best for pivot lows
- New low detection - 55 bars and 0.05 amplitude work well based on visual checks of signals
- Can modify the number of points needed to reclaim a low, and the # of bars limit under which this must occur.
Alerts:
- Alerts are available for detection of new lows and detection of failed breakdowns
- Alerts are also available for these signals but only during 7:30PM-4PM EST - 'prime time' US trading hours
Limitations:
- Current version of the script only compares new lows to the most recent pivot low, does not look at anything prior to that
- Best used as a discretionary signal

VWAP PredatorUsing VWAP as a start point, the VWAP Predator uses proprietary Fibonacci bands to help determine signal criteria. Most traders use VWAP in a simple way to determine whether an instrument is in a bearish or bullish state, but that doesn't help choosing the correct time to go long or short.
The xBat VWAP Predator uses behavioural analysis with volume, price action with open and close proximities to the Fibonacci bands/zones (Fib Zones). The following describes how the xBrat VWAP Predator is different to any standard use of Volume Weighted Average Price and uses xBrat Proprietary Behavioural logic to determine high probability long and Short signals. All of this heavy lifting and logic is done behind the scenes, keeping traders charts clean.
Long Trading Signals - Candle Coloured in Blue - There are many states with the logic to produce these signals, which are briefly described below:
1. The only standard criteria here - The price action must be above the VWAP Line
2. The Price must open below the boundary of one Fib Zone and close into the next Fib Zone
3. That Same Candle has to be an Accumulation Candle (more volume than the preceding candle and More Buyers) - This is determined with our proprietary logic coding
4. The Same signal candle also has to be higher than average volume. Again, our proprietary xBrat Logic just doesn't look back over a set number of bars, it looks at times of day and day of week, plus more to determine a true valuation of higher, lower or equal to average volume.
5. Only when these states are met, plus two more ema proximity logic, Does the xBrat VWAP predator give a Long Signal.
6. Trade Management is either set targets or indeed a simple ema cross which we provide as a ribbon on the chart to help traders. These ema's are different to entry logic. When the Ribbon turns from green to red, the trader should consider exiting the trade
Short Trading Signals - Candle Coloured in Pink - There are many states with the logic to produce these signals, which are briefly described below:
1. The only standard criteria here - The price action must be below the VWAP Line
2. The Price must open above the boundary of one Fib Zone and close into the next Fib Zone
3. That Same Candle has to be a Distribution Candle (more volume than the preceding candle and More Sellers) - This is determined with our proprietary logic coding
4. The Same signal candle also has to be higher than average volume. Again, our proprietary xBrat Logic just doesn't look back over a set number of bars, it looks at times of day and day of week, plus more to determine a true valuation of higher, lower or equal to average volume.
5. Only when these states are met, plus two more ema proximity logic, Does the xBrat VWAP predator give a Short Signal.
6. Trade Management is either set targets or indeed a simple ema cross which we provide as a ribbon on the chart to help traders. These ema's are different to entry logic. When the Ribbon turns from red to green, the trader should consider exiting the trade.
VWAP Predator is a day trading and scalping signals trading indicator.
Future Risk CalculatorCreated out of revenge against the difficulty of controlling psychology, greed, and risk management. Designed for cryptocurrency futures trading by following the risk management principles from Kevin Sailly. Very welcome if there are suggestions and input to improve the quality of this "indicator". Please use wisely.
How to use:
1. Open indicator settings.
2. Fill out all the forms. (Note: I make Max Loss Risk only has 5 options. Because, you know, to control the greed. You can choose by considering your risk profiles and market condition)
3. All of the information and calculation will appear on the label (right side of the bar chart) and top-right box.
4. You can adjust the three prices (target, entry, and stop) by clicking any part of the indicator. There will be three dots in the middle of the chart window (align with three prices). Click that dots and drag them up/down to customize according to your wishes. The price order must be correct, for LONG direction the price order from the top is target-entry-stop. Vice versa for SHORT direction. There will be "SETUP ERROR" text in the top-right box if the price order is not correct.

Future PreviewFuture Preview
Calculate real-time future order profit with open price, leverage and commission fee. Simple and straight forward. If you need any additional feature, please leave a comment below. I am glad to help.
Usage:
When adding Future Preview to chart, it will ask order open time and open price on the chart by clicking with left mouse on the desired value. These value can be changed lately, as well as the leverage and commission fee. Default leverage is 10 and default commission fee is 0.06% (taker).
There will be two horizontal lines. The solid longer line is the open price line, it shows the order open price. The shorter line moving with real-time price is the current price line, it shows the current price. There will be preview data shows on top or below the price line. Open price line is red for short order and green for long order. The current price line is red when the order is losing and it is green when it profiting. The back ground color follows the color of current price line. Background color transparency and gain/loss color can be changed in options.
There will be one horizontal line on the left if the option of showing open time is on (default is on). It shows the time stamp when current order opened.
After adding Future Preview to chart, there is option to add Taking Profit(TP) or Stop Loss(SL) to the chart.
Font size can be changed in option
Metals:Backwardation/ContangoMETALS: Gold , Silver , Copper ( GC , SI, HG)
Quickly visualize carrying charge market vs backwardized market by comparing the price of the next 2 years of futures contracts.
Carrying charge (contract prices increasing into the future) = normal, representing the costs of carrying/storage of a commodity. When this is flipped to Backwardation (contract prices decreasing into the future): its a bullish sign: Buyers want this commodity, and they want it NOW.
Note: indicator does not map to time axis in the same way as price; it simply plots the progression of contract months out into the future; left to right; so timeframe DOESN'T MATTER for this plot
There's likely some more efficient way to write this; e.g. when plotting for Gold ( GC ); 21 of the security requests are redundant; but they are still made; and can make this slower to load
TO UPDATE(once a year will do): in REQUEST CONTRACTS section, delete old contracts (top) and add new ones (bottom). Then in PLOTTING section, Delete old contract labels (bottom); add new contract labels (top); adjust the X in 'bar_index-(X+_historical)' numbers accordingly
This is one of three similar indicators: Meats | Metals | Grains
-If you want to build from this; to work on other commodities ; be aware that Tradingview limits the number of contract calls to 40 (hence the 3 seperate indicators)
Tips:
-Right click and reset chart if you can't see the plot; or if you have trouble with the scaling.
-Right click and add to new scale if you prefer this not to overlay directly on price. Or move to new pane below.

Settlement priceThis script is meant to be used intraday, on futures products.
It charts the previous day/week/month settlement price as a constant level intraday.
The settlement price of a product is calculated by the exchange at the end of each day. It is shown in the D/W/M chart as the close price. The settlement price does not coincide with the last close price intraday, thus creating the need of a script like this.
The settlement price can be a pivotal price in intraday futures trading, as it can act as support or resistance
You can select the resolution of the settlement by the "Resolution" input
xBrat BIAS DEPTH HeatmapThis Trading Indicator is the "Go - No Go Gauge" for any trading signals strategy. A Sub-Chart that looks up 6 time frames and gives you real time BIAS. Bullish, Neutral or Bearish on each level. Making decisions, acting on trading signals easier! Only identifying those highest probability trades, no matter what signals trading indicator you are using. Ideal for Forex Trading, Futures Trading, Crypto Trading and Stocks Trading
This BIAS Depth Heatmap includes:
6 Levels of BIAS Depth
Scalping Setting
Day Trading Setting
Swing Trading Setting
And by only concentrating on trading the highest probability trades of any trading strategy, we can block out all the other noise and concentrate on a simple set of rules!
This is why our Founder, Paul Bratby, decided to help filter out all the noise and allow traders to see what's going off on higher timeframes "in depth" to help make those important trade entry decisions. This more global view of the BIAS DEPTH is designed to help traders make decisions faster!
NCTA Aurora SystemAurora System
This system is designed to present a simple view of trending signals. The signals within the Aurora System will alert the beginning of a possible new trend. The signals also indicate when a trend is continuing or weakening, which advises the trader to adjust their stop or exit the trade. If the trend resumes, the system will print a new confirmation of an entry.
When traded properly, using a 2-3 timeframe alignment, the system will display both trending trades, which anticipate a potentially longer move, or catch trades which are likely shorter moves, which at times may be counter trend, so traders will be looking for a smaller profit.
There are two settings, CXA and PBA. CXA is more sensitive to triggering possible entries while PBA is more conservative. The system will display on the indicator which “mode” is set, CXA or PBA.
How to Use:
When the first red bar appears, labeled with a “S”, go short. This is indicating the start of a possible short trend.
When the first blue bar appears, labeled with a “L”, go long. This is indicating the start of a possible long trend.
White bars indicate a neutral or no trend.
This system can be used individually on a single time frame, but reduces chop and noise when used on a combination of time frames such as an alignment between the 3 minute and 10 minute chart for intraday trading.
3 Minute and 10 Minute Alignment Example:
For example: When the 10 minute PBA signal appears (Red bar with “S” or Blue bar with “L”), monitor the 3 minute chart for a confirmation of that signal (Red bar with “S” or Blue bar with “L”) and enter based on the 3 minute chart
At times, the 10m will first print when the 3m is on a retracement. It may take another 3 - 6 min before the 3m signals a valid entry
Exit when 10m PBA signal stops (could be a white bar or just a blank space on the indicator)
Next Bar Alert:
Included is an optional "Next Bar Alert" setting. Since many of these signals benefit from very prompt action at the beginning of a price bar, there is an additional option in Settings to set an arbitrary number of seconds to be alerted before the next price bar opens. Simply set this to a level you prefer, then set an alert in TradingView on the indicator using the "Next Bar Alert" alert parameter.
Scalper's Paradise Tool For NQThis powerful scalping tool was specifically designed for NQ and MNQ. Scalper's Paradise adds buy and sell signals to the chart using a proprietary blend of confluence trading principals that are incredibly accurate. Many of the settings can be customized for uses on higher time-frames and different markets. Along with the buy and sell signals, this indicator offers weakness signaling (seen as dots on the chart), along with potential exit points marked as 'EX' on the chart over a diamond shape.
How To Use:
This indicator is designed for intra-day scalping. When a buy or sell signal is marked on the chart, it's safe to enter a position. Exit the position when you see weakness in the trend or where the EX (exits) are marked.
The Trend Cloud offers great visibility for trend strength and overall volatility and can be used in conjunction with the entries and exits for added confidence that your trade is a worthwhile trade.
The red and green backgrounds on the chart are a filtering tool designed to save you from trades that otherwise don't carry enough momentum to be worth entering the market. This part of the indicator has 3 major adjustable settings that allow you to truly dial in your risk.
Identify momentum areas and trade with confidence using Scalper's Paradise!
Trend Cloud for momentum and confidence
Buy and Sell Signals
Marked Exits and Trend Weakness dots on the chart
ADX Based Clean Trade Filter allows for full customization of your trading risk profile. This part of the indicator will SUPPRESS any and all signals while the chart's background is red.
The Safer Trades Filtering in the settings allows further confidence by suppressing riskier trade signals
Limitations:
This script does not mark reversals. It will only identify safe trade zones during periods of strong momentum.

The range is defined by a parallel coloured cloud which changes colour depending on the BIAS of the opening range, calculated automatically for our users. At the same time the Open Tag is also coloured to help identify the BIAS and indeed which direction traders should trade the Range Breakout after the first candle has closed. The range BIAS continues to be drawn on the chart until the following days open. The colour will change as per the BIAS of that opening range. This allows for multiple entries of breakouts of the defined range throughout the following 24 hours.
Range Breakout BIAS Colours
Green - Bullish BIAS - When first candle has closed only look for breakouts to the upside
Red - Bearish BIAS - When first candle has closed only look for breakouts to the downside
Yellow - Neutral BIAS - When first candle closed, look for breakouts to both upside and downside or best not to trade the breakouts as neutral BIAS indicates indecision

The Manager The Manger is a simple and repeatable trade management indicator suite for all instruments and for all timeframes.
The strategy that makes up this trade management tool includes:
1. Average volume calculations with auto lookbacks - Each candle then is identified as being above or below average volume with Dots above or below each candle.
2. Volume Distribution or Accumulation candles - Identifies if the candle has higher or lower volume compared to previous candle
a. If Higher volume and is a Down candle it is a distribution candle and is coloured Red.
b. If Higher volume and is an Up candles it is an accumulation candle and is coloured Green.
3. Adjustable BIAS cloud with four settings for Day Trading and Swing Trading. Red is Bearish BIAS with Price action and Green is a Bullish BIAS with Price Action.
Some of the simple rules to follow when using "The Manager" to help manage your trades Long or Short. (More is covered in our tutorial video)
1. When Short Trading and you get a Green Accumulation Candle with a Cyan Dot Above candle (Higher than Average Volume) printed. This is a sign of a potential reversal against your short trade and an aggressive profit taking exit is necessary.
2. When Long Trading and you get a Red Distribution Candle with a Cyan Dot Above candle (Higher than Average Volume) printed. This is a sign of a potential reversal against your long trade and an aggressive profit taking exit is necessary.
3. Pullbacks against the direction of your trade with Blue Dots Below Candles (Lower than average volume) show low momentum pullbacks and a sign to stay in your trade or revert to BIAS Cloud rules.
4. BIAS Cloud - When Green Changes to Red, this is your conservative exit for Long Trades. - When Red changes to Green, this is your conservative exit for short trade.
5. BIAS Cloud - When day trading and your position has a parabolic move - change settings to day trading aggressive
6. BIAS Cloud - When Swing trading and your position has a parabolic move - change settings to day trading conservative or moderate depending on how much room you want to give for a pullback against the direction of your swing trade.
Remember when day trading or swing trading, there is usually a data or news catalyst that reverses the direction of an instrument and potentially a trade that you are in. "The Manager" soon spots those with either accumulation or distribution candles combining with higher than average volume. And usually with a distinct candle stick formation rejecting highs or lows. The ability for you to visually see this on your chart with our indicator gives you chance to maximise your profits by understanding the behaviour represented by the coloured candles and the dots above or below the candles. The BIAS cloud allows for a more conservative approach to this as discussed above

Reversal by Dan SteelHello everyone,
This is a simple indicator to indicate reversal signal on $SPY, $SPX or SPY futures products. The indicator works best in 15 minute.
Blue flag is RSI oversold
Red flag is reversal signal
if there is both flags, the chance of short bull run is very high.
Cheers,
Dan
P.S: It is ugly but working :)
