Volatility Signal-to-Noise Ratio🙏🏻 this is VSNR: the most effective and simple volatility regime detector & automatic volatility threshold scaler that somehow no1 ever talks about.
This is simply an inverse of the coefficient of variation of absolute returns, but properly constructed taking into account temporal information, and made online via recursive math with algocomplexity O(1) both in expanding and moving windows modes.
How do the available alternatives differ (while some’re just worse)?
Mainstream quant stat tests like Durbin-Watson, Dickey-Fuller etc: default implementations are ALL not time aware. They measure different kinds of regime, which is less (if at all) relevant for actual trading context. Mix of different math, high algocomplexity.
The closest one is MMI by financialhacker, but his approach is also not time aware, and has a higher algocomplexity anyways. Best alternative to mine, but pls modify it to use a time-weighted median.
Fractal dimension & its derivatives by John Ehlers: again not time aware, very low info gain, relies on bar sizes (high and lows), which don’t always exist unlike changes between datapoints. But it’s a geometric tool in essence, so this is fundamental. Let it watch your back if you already use it.
Hurst exponent: much higher algocomplexity, mix of parametric and non-parametric math inside. An invention, not a math entity. Again, not time aware. Also measures different kinds of regime.
How to set it up:
Given my other tools, I choose length so that it will match the amount of data that your trading method or study uses multiplied by ~ 4-5. E.g if you use some kind of bands to trade volatility and you calculate them over moving window 64, put VSNR on 256.
However it depends mathematically on many things, so for your methods you may instead need multipliers of 1 or ~ 16.
Additionally if you wanna use all data to estimate SNR, put 0 into length input.
How to use for regime detection:
First we define:
MR bias: mean reversion bias meaning volatility shorts would work better, fading levels would work better
Momo bias: momentum bias meaning volatility longs would work better, trading breakouts of levels would work better.
The study plots 3 horizontal thresholds for VSNR, just check its location:
Above upper level: significant Momo bias
Above 1 : Momo bias
Below 1 : MR bias
Below lower level: significant MR bias
Take a look at the screenshots, 2 completely different volatility regimes are spotted by VSNR, while an ADF does not show different regime:
^^ CBOT:ZN1!
^^ INDEX:BTCUSD
How to use as automatic volatility threshold scaler
Copy the code from the script, and use VSNR as a multiplier for your volatility threshold.
E.g you use a regression channel and fade/push upper and lower thresholds which are RMSEs multiples. Inside the code, multiply RMSE by VSNR, now you’re adaptive.
^^ The same logic as when MM bots widen spreads with vola goes wild.
How it works:
Returns follow Laplace distro -> logically abs returns follow exponential distro , cuz laplace = double exponential.
Exponential distro has a natural coefficient of variation = 1 -> signal to noise ratio defined as mean/stdev = 1 as well. The same can be said for Student t distro with parameter v = 4. So 1 is our main threshold.
We can add additional thresholds by discovering SNRs of Student t with v = 3 and v = 5 (+- 1 from baseline v = 4). These have lighter & heavier tails each favoring mean reversion or momentum more. I computed the SNR values you see in the code with mpmath python module, with precision 256 decimals, so you can trust it I put it on my momma.
Then I use exponential smoothing with properly defined alphas (one matches cumulative WMA and another minimizes error with WMA in moving window mode) to estimate SNR of abs returns.
…
Lightweight huh?

Change in State of Delivery CISD [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This script tracks how price “changes delivery” after failed attempts to push in one direction. It builds swing levels from pivots, watches for those levels to be wicked, and then checks if price delivers cleanly in the opposite direction. When the pattern meets the script’s tolerance rules, it marks a Change in State of Delivery (CISD). These CISD levels are drawn as origin lines and are used to spot shifts in intent, failed pushes, and continuation attempts. A CISD becomes stronger when it forms after opposing liquidity is swept within a defined lookback.
🟠 CONCEPTS
The script first defines structure using swing highs/lows. These levels act as potential liquidity points. When price wicks through a swing, the script registers a mitigation event. After this, it looks for a reversal-style candle sequence: a failed push, followed by a counter-move strong enough to pass a tolerance ratio. This ratio compares how far price expanded away from the failed attempt versus the counter-move that followed. If the ratio is high enough, this becomes a CISD. The idea is simple: liquidity interaction sets context , and the tolerance logic identifies actual intent . CISD levels and sweep markers combine these two ideas into a clean map of where delivery flipped.
🟠 FEATURES
Liquidity tracking: marks swing highs/lows and updates them until expiry
Liquidity sweep confirmation when CISD aligns with recent mitigations
Alert conditions for all key events: mitigations, CISDs, and strong CISDs
🟠 USAGE
Setup : Add the script to your chart. Use it on any timeframe where swing behavior matters. Set the Swing Period for how wide a pivot must be. Set Noise Filter to control how strict the CISD detection is. Liquidity Lookback defines how recent a wick must be to confirm a sweep.
Read the chart : Origin lines mark where the CISD began. A green line signals bullish intent; a red line signals bearish intent. ▲ and ▼ shapes show CISDs that form after liquidity is swept, these mark strong signals for potential entry. Swing dots show recent swing highs/lows. Candle colors follow the latest CISD trend.
Settings that matter : Increasing Swing Period produces fewer but stronger swings. Raising Noise Filter requires cleaner counter-moves and reduces false CISDs. Liquidity Lookback controls how strict the sweep confirmation is. Expiry Bars decides how long swing levels remain active.
Uptrick: Dynamic Z-Score DivergenceIntroduction
Uptrick: Dynamic Z-Score Divergence is an oscillator that combines multiple momentum sources within a Z-Score framework, allowing for the detection of statistically significant mean-reversion setups, directional shifts, and divergence signals. It integrates a multi-source normalized oscillator, a slope-based signal engine, structured divergence logic, a slope-adaptive EMA with dynamic bands, and a modular bar coloring system. This script is designed to help traders identify statistically stretched conditions, evolving trend dynamics, and classical divergence behavior using a unified statistical approach.
Overview
At its core, this script calculates the Z-Score of three momentum sources—RSI, Stochastic RSI, and MACD—using a user-defined lookback period. These are averaged and smoothed to form the main oscillator line. This normalized oscillator reflects how far short-term momentum deviates from its mean, highlighting statistically extreme areas.
Signals are triggered when the oscillator reverses slope within defined inner zones, indicating a shift in direction while the signal remains in a statistically stretched state. These mean-reversion flips (referred to as TP signals) help identify turning points when price momentum begins to revert from extended zones.
In addition, the script includes a divergence detection engine that compares oscillator pivot points with price pivot points. It confirms regular bullish and bearish divergence by validating spacing between pivots and visualizes both the oscillator-side and chart-side divergences clearly.
A dynamic trend overlay system is included using a Slope Adaptive EMA (SA-EMA). This trend line becomes more responsive when Z-Score deviation increases, allowing the trend line to adapt to market conditions. It is paired with ATR-based bands that are slope-sensitive and selectively visible—offering context for dynamic support and resistance.
The script includes configurable bar coloring logic, allowing users to color candles based on oscillator slope, last confirmed divergence, or the most recent signal of any type. A full alert system is also built-in for key signals.
Originality
The script is based on the well-known concept of Z-Score valuation, which is a standard statistical method for identifying how far a signal deviates from its mean. This foundation—normalizing momentum values such as RSI or MACD to measure relative strength or weakness—is not unique to this script and is widely used in quantitative analysis.
What makes this implementation original is how it expands the Z-Score foundation into a fully featured, signal-producing system. First, it introduces a multi-source composite oscillator by combining three momentum inputs—RSI, Stochastic RSI, and MACD—into a unified Z-Score stream. Second, it builds on that stream with a directional slope logic that identifies turning points inside statistical zones.
The most distinctive additions are the layered features placed on top of this normalized oscillator:
A structured divergence detection engine that compares oscillator pivots with price pivots to validate regular bullish and bearish divergence using precise spacing and timing filters.
A fully integrated slope-adaptive EMA overlay, where the smoothing dynamically adjusts based on real-time Z-Score movement of RSI, allowing the trend line to become more reactive during high-momentum environments and slower during consolidation.
ATR-based dynamic bands that adapt to slope direction and offer real-time visual zones for support and resistance within trend structures.
These features are not typically found in standard Z-Score indicators and collectively provide a unique approach that bridges statistical normalization, structure detection, and adaptive trend modeling within one script.

Market Extreme Zones IndexThe Market Extreme Zones Index is a new mean reversion (valuation) tool focused on catching long term oversold/overbought zones. Combining an enhanced RSI with a smoothed Z-score this indicator allows traders to find oppurtunities during highly oversold/overbought zones.
I will separate the explanation into the following parts:
1. How does it work?
2. Methodologies & Concepts
3. Use cases
How does it work?
The indicator attempts to catch highly unprobable events in either direction to capture reversal points over the long term. This is done by calculating the Z-Score of an enhanced RSI.
First we need to calculate the Enhanced RSI:
For this we need to calculate 2 additional lengths:
Length1 = user defined length
Length2 = Length1/2
Length3 = √Length
Now we need to calculate 3 different RSIs:
1st RSI => uses classic user defined source and classic user defined length.
2nd RSI => uses classic user defined source and Length 2.
3rd RSI => uses RSI 2 as source and Length 2
Now calculate the divergence:
RSI_base => 2nd RSI * 3 - 1st RSI - 3rd RSI
After this we need to calculate the median of the RSI_base over √Length and make a divergence of these 2:
RSI => RSI_base*2 - median
All that remains now is the Z-score calculations:
We need:
Average RSI value
Standard Deviation = a measure of how dispersed or spread out a set of data values are from their average
Z-score = (Current Value - Average Value) / Standard Deviation
After this we just smooth the Z-score with a Weighted Moving average with √Length
Methodology & Concepts
Mean Reversion Methodology:
The methodology behind mean reversion is the theory that asset prices will eventually return to their long-term average after deviating significantly, driven by the belief that extreme moves are temporary.
Z-Score Methodology:
A Z-score, or standard score, is a statistical measure that indicates how many standard deviations a data point is from the mean of a dataset. A positive z-score means the value is above the mean, a negative score means it's below, and a score of zero means the value is equal to the mean.
You might already be able to see where I am going with this:
Z-Score could be used for the extreme moves to capture reversal points.
By applying it to the RSI rather than the Price, we get a more accurate measurement that allow us to get a banger indicator.
Use Cases
Capturing reversal points
Trend Direction
- while the main use it for mean reversion, the values can indicate whether we are in an uptrend or a downtrend.
Advantages:
Visualization:
The indicator has many plots to ensure users can easily see what the indicator signals, such as highlighting extreme conditions with background colors.
Versatility:
This indicator works across multiple assets, including the S&P500 and more, so it is not only for crypto.
Final note:
No indicator alone is perfect.
Backtests are not indicative of future performance.
Hope you enjoy Gs!
Good luck!
Screener (ILPAC) [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This script is a powerful multi-symbol scanner designed to work as a companion to the "Institutional Liquidity & PA Concepts" (ILPAC) indicator. It allows you to monitor the key price action and liquidity signals from the ILPAC suite across a watchlist of up to 18 assets, all from a single dashboard. The primary goal of this tool is to provide a high-level market overview, enabling you to efficiently spot assets that are showing strong structural trends, interacting with key liquidity zones, or exhibiting signs of FOMO-driven volatility.
Instead of switching between dozens of charts, you can use this screener to quickly filter for assets that meet your specific trading criteria based on the advanced concepts of market structure, liquidity analysis, trend lines, and market sentiment.
🟠 CONCEPTS
The screener is built upon the core analytical engine of the "Institutional Liquidity & PA Concepts" indicator. It applies the proprietary algorithms of the ILPAC indicator to each symbol in your watchlist and presents the results in an easy-to-digest table. The concepts are combined to create a holistic view of the market.
Each column in the table is a window into a specific trading concept:
Market Structure: This is the foundation of price action analysis. The screener identifies the current market trend (bullish or bearish) by tracking swing highs and lows. It also flags critical events like a Break of Structure (BOS), which signals trend continuation, and a Change of Character (CHoCH), which suggests a potential trend reversal.
Liquidity Analysis: The screener analyzes order flow to determine where significant liquidity is resting. The "Liquidity Bias" column shows the net direction of this pressure, while the "Liquidity Event" column alerts you when price interacts with these key zones, either by forming a new one or mitigating an old one.
Trend Lines: This concept automates the classic technical analysis technique of drawing trend lines. The screener identifies significant swing points to form trend lines and then monitors them, alerting you to potential trend continuations or breakouts.
FOMO Bubbles: This concept measures crowd psychology by identifying sudden spikes in volume and price movement that are characteristic of "Fear of Missing Out." These signals can help identify potential trend exhaustion points or the start of a speculative rally.
By presenting these distinct but interconnected concepts together, the screener provides a multi-faceted view that allows traders to build a strong, confluence-based trading thesis.
🟠 FEATURES
This screener organizes a vast amount of data into a simple, color-coded table. Here is a breakdown of each column and the values you can expect to see:
Asset: Displays the ticker symbol for the asset being analyzed.
Market Structure: Shows the dominant trend based on swing highs and lows.
Bull: The asset is in a structural uptrend (making higher highs and higher lows).
Bear: The asset is in a structural downtrend (making lower highs and lower lows).
Detecting: The trend is neutral or a clear structure has not yet been established.
Structure Event: Flags the most recent significant market structure event.
Bull CHoCH: A bullish Change of Character, signaling a potential shift from a downtrend to an uptrend.
Bear CHoCH: A bearish Change of Character, signaling a potential shift from an uptrend to a downtrend.
Bull BOS: A bullish Break of Structure, confirming the continuation of an uptrend.
Bear BOS: A bearish Break of Structure, confirming the continuation of a downtrend.
–: No significant event has occurred recently.
Latest Swing Label: Identifies the most recently confirmed swing point.
HH: Higher High.
HL: Higher Low.
LH: Lower High.
LL: Lower Low.
–: No new swing point has been confirmed.
Liquidity Bias: Measures the net direction of liquidity and its relative strength.
▲ : A bullish liquidity bias, where the number indicates the strength.
▼ : A bearish liquidity bias, where the number indicates the strength.
Balanced: Liquidity is relatively balanced between buyers and sellers.
Liquidity Event: Indicates recent interactions with key liquidity zones.
New▲: A new bullish liquidity zone has just formed.
New▼: A new bearish liquidity zone has just formed.
Mit▲: Price has just tested (mitigated) a key bullish liquidity zone.
Mit▼: Price has just tested (mitigated) a key bearish liquidity zone.
–: No recent interaction.
Trend Line: Displays the status of automatically drawn trend lines.
Break▲: Price has broken above a key bearish trend line.
Break▼: Price has broken below a key bullish trend line.
Bull TL: Price is respecting an active bullish trend line.
Bear TL: Price is respecting an active bearish trend line.
–: No significant trend line is currently active.
FOMO: Detects sentiment-driven price moves of varying intensity.
Big▲/Med▲/Small▲: A bullish FOMO bubble has been detected (large, medium, or small).
Big▼/Med▼/Small▼: A bearish FOMO bubble has been detected (large, medium, or small).
–: No FOMO activity detected.
🟠 USAGE
The primary way to use this screener is to quickly scan your watchlist for assets that exhibit a confluence of bullish or bearish signals, which can significantly improve the probability of a trade.
1. Setup and Configuration:
Add the screener to your chart.
Open the settings and populate the "Watchlist" section with the symbols you want to track.
Fine-tune the input settings for each component (Market Structure, Liquidity, etc.) to match your preferred trading style. These settings will apply to all symbols in the table.
2. Interpreting the Columns for Trading Decisions:
Market Structure Columns: Use the first three structure columns to define your trading bias. For a high-probability long setup, you would look for an asset with a "Bull" structure, a recent "Bull BOS" event, and a "HL" as the latest swing point. This confirms the uptrend is healthy and ongoing.
Liquidity Columns: These are crucial for identifying key price levels. A strong "Liquidity Bias" can confirm your directional bias. A "Mit▲" (mitigation) event at a support level can be a powerful entry trigger, as it shows that institutional buy orders are defending that zone.
Trend Line Column: This is ideal for breakout traders. A "Break▲" signal can serve as an excellent entry confirmation, especially if the overall "Market Structure" is already "Bull".
FOMO Column: This column is best used for identifying potential exhaustion points. For instance, if you are in a long trade and a "Big▲" FOMO signal appears after a strong rally, it could be a sign that the move is overextended and it's a good time to consider taking profits.

Screener (MC) [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This script is a multi-symbol scanner that works as a companion to the "Momentum Concepts" indicator. It provides a comprehensive dashboard view, allowing traders to monitor the momentum signals of up to 18 different assets in real-time from a single chart. The main purpose is to offer a bird's-eye view of the market, helping you quickly identify assets with strong momentum confluence or potential reversal opportunities without having to switch between different charts.
The screener displays the status of all key components from the Momentum Concepts indicator, including the Fast Oscillator, Scalper's Momentum, Momentum Impulse Oscillator, and Hidden Liquidity Flow, organizing them into a clear and easy-to-read table.
🟠 CONCEPTS
The core of this screener is built upon the analytical framework of the "Momentum Concepts" indicator, which evaluates market momentum across multiple layers: short-term, medium-term, and long-term. This screener applies those complex, proprietary calculations to each symbol in your watchlist and visualizes the current state of each component.
Each column in the table represents a specific aspect of momentum analysis:
Fast Oscillator Columns: These columns reflect the short-term momentum. They show the immediate trend direction, whether the asset is in an overbought or oversold condition, and flag high-probability events like divergences, reversals, or diminishing momentum.
Scalper's Momentum Column: This column gives insight into medium-term momentum. It distinguishes between strong, sustained moves and weakening, corrective moves, which is useful for gauging the health of a trend.
Momentum Impulse Column: This column represents the dominant, long-term trend bias. It helps you understand the underlying market regime (bullish, bearish, or consolidating) to align your trades with the bigger picture.
Hidden Liquidity Flow Column: This column provides a unique view into the market's underlying liquidity dynamics. It signals whether there is net buying or selling pressure and uses special coloring to highlight periods of unusually high liquidity activity, which often precedes volatile price movements.
By combining these perspectives, the screener justifies its utility by enabling traders to make more informed decisions based on multi-layered signal confluence.
🟠 FEATURES
This screener organizes momentum data into several key columns. Here is a breakdown of each column and its possible values:
Asset: Displays the symbol for the asset being analyzed in that row.
Fast Oscillator Trend: Shows the immediate, short-term momentum direction.
▲: Indicates a bullish short-term trend.
▼: Indicates a bearish short-term trend.
–: Indicates a neutral or transitional state.
Fast Oscillator Valuation: Measures whether the asset is in a short-term overbought or oversold state.
OB: Signals an "Overbought" condition, often associated with bullish exhaustion.
OS: Signals an "Oversold" condition, often associated with bearish exhaustion.
Neutral: The asset is trading in a neutral zone, neither overbought nor oversold.
Scalper's Momentum: Assesses the strength and direction of medium-term momentum.
Strong▲: Strong bullish momentum.
Weak▲: Bullish momentum exists but is weakening or corrective.
Strong▼: Strong bearish momentum.

Go into the script settings and populate the "Watchlist" group with the symbols you wish to monitor.
Adjust the settings for the various momentum components (Fast Oscillator, Scalper's Momentum, etc.) to align with your trading strategy. These settings will be universally applied to all symbols in the screener.
2. Interpreting the Columns for Trading Decisions:
Momentum Impulse & Hidden Liquidity Flow: Use these columns to establish a directional bias. A bullish "▲" in both columns on an asset suggests a strong underlying uptrend with supportive buying pressure, making it a good candidate for long positions.
Scalper's Momentum: Use this for entry timing and trend health. A "Strong▲" reading can confirm the strength of an uptrend, while a shift to "Weak▲" might suggest it's time to tighten stops or look for an exit.
Fast Oscillator Trend & Valuation: These are best for precise entry triggers. For a "buy the dip" strategy in an uptrend, you could wait for the Fast Oscillator to show "OS" (Oversold) and then enter when the "Trend" column flips back to "▲".
Dim. Momentum: This is an excellent take-profit signal. If you are in a long position and a bullish-colored "●" appears, it's a warning that the upward move is losing steam, and you might consider closing your trade.
Divergence & Reversal: These columns are for identifying potential turning points. A "Div▲" or "Rev▲" signal is a strong alert that a downtrend might be ending, making the asset a prime candidate to watch for a long entry.
3. Finding High-Probability Setups:
Trend Confluence: Look for assets where multiple components show alignment. For example, an ideal long setup might show a bullish "Momentum Impulse" (▲), a "Strong▲" reading in "Scalper's Momentum," and a bullish trend in the "Fast Oscillator." This indicates that the long-term, medium-term, and short-term momentums are all in agreement.
Reversal and Exhaustion: Use the "Divergence" and "Reversal" columns to spot potential turning points. A "Div▲" signal appearing in an asset that is in an oversold "Fast Oscillator Valuation" zone can be a strong indication of an upcoming bounce.

Consolidation Value Zones (Recio)Consolidation Value Zones introduces an original algorithm to identify consolidation ranges and locate areas of importance within them. This new method "looks" at the chart and draws zones based on price with the goal of producing actionable zones which appear natural, as if they were found through a human analysis.
> Consider the following...
The chart image above displays Bitcoin, at no specific date, for no specific reason. What I have done here is simply glanced at the chart for about 5 seconds, and circled a few areas which stood out as "obvious" consolidation. It does not take a savant to look at a chart and circle ranging price. However, what we have just done defies many common systems for identifying consolidation. We have located ranges of various zone lengths, as small as roughly 25 bars to as large as roughly 100 bars. Regardless of this, we still determined these zones with our eyes and brain in a few seconds, for some it's practically instant. The issue with us humans doing this, is that we are subjective. We did not really use any concrete rules to determine these areas with our eyes. So the problem becomes "How do we identify these zones in a way which seems natural to us with a repeatable system?" Because of this, my approach is simply a logical attempt to reverse engineer our human intuition.
> Consolidation Value Zones
The name of this indicator is generic. To dissect it, we are identifying consolidation ranges, then using a volume profile to determine the value zone within that range. The specific method used to identify these consolidation zones is something I've personally been referring to as the "skewer" method. Another name that may fit better is "Linear Range Alignment/Overlap".
Ultimately, the goal is to locate a single price level or range that overlaps many adjacent bars.
This should, in theory, return areas of visually obvious consolidation.
> The Skewer Method (Identification Method & Bar Gap Allowances)
One consistent concept across the different identification methods for determining consolidation is time. How long do we chop around before calling it consolidation? This is the "Identification Threshold". Once we have located a consolidation zone "this" wide, we will then consider it as consolidation.
In the chart image above, we are considering a six-bar consolidation formation. The figure on the left shows an example of a perfect raw bar overlap, we can see that the six bars all overlap at one price range. This is a perfect example of what we are looking to identify as consolidation. Unfortunately, if this was all we looked at, we would have a very scarce identification method.
For that reason, we have the example on the right, which shows the additional allowances for the identification of these ranges. At most, the example on the right shows a gapless three-bar overlap. However, if we allow the identification to bridge across the gaps, we are able to draw a zone directly through the center and still be within our parameters. This allowance is the "Bar Gap Allowance" and will determine the leniency of the identification.
Between our identification threshold and bar gap allowance, we can start to piece together how the script is "looking" at our chart.
> Detecting Consolidation (Live Detection)
To aid in transparency and user understanding, the live detection calculation can be seen on the chart as a box, skewering the recent historical bars with a number next to it, indicating the number of bars found as potential consolidation.
As we can see in the chart image above, the script, by default, is looking for a 15-bar consolidation, with a 5-bar gap allowance. In the image, the specific gap count is labeled, we can see the script scan backwards as far as it can before counting five gaps in the data. Once that occurs, the detection stops.
Notice how the zone found is a range, consisting of all price levels which meet the parameters. The lower level of the range only had two gaps, but the upper level reached five.
> Consolidation Range and Value Zones (Volume Profiles)
Once the script has identified the consolidation formation, it calculates a volume profile across the identified consolidation range. From this it calculates and draws the Point of Control (POC) and Value Area in addition to the full consolidation range.
Once we have our zones drawn, and understand what they identify, we can go one step further and apply concepts from volume profile trading.
Range High/Low: Displays the current extent of the identified consolidation.
Value High/Low: Shows the specific area within the consolidation where buyers and sellers found the most value.
POC: The single point, where the most volume was transacted during consolidation.
In a balanced market, we would anticipate price to rotate around POC, oscillating from Value High (VAH) to Value Low (VAL). In contrast, a market in motion moves directionally, building volume at new price levels as value, naturally the POC shifts with it.
> Zone Extensions
Unlike many other scripts, there is no mitigation logic at play here, since crossing a zone simply tells us "buyers and sellers are not currently active here", but it does not guarantee that value cannot return or react from previous areas of value.
Obviously the current zone will always be most relevant, but historical zones can retain relevance depending on the context of the market.
Remember: Each area of consolidation is an area where buyers and sellers were once facing off, resulting in price's consolidation. Amidst this, the value zone was the area of greatest agreement between the participants at that time. When moving outside of a range, we would typically look at historical value areas and price's interaction with them for further context.
Due to the ever changing market, there is no fixed extension lookback that will cover every scenario. By default, the Extension Lookback is "1", meaning the script will extend the most recent zone forward until a new zone is detected.
Note: For clarity, zone extensions are colored differently from core zones.
The following chart image shows a few examples of these unique interactions.
As seen in the chart image, looking to previous areas of value as well as POC can provide context in the form of acceptance or rejection at these levels, providing further insight into the auction for us to respond to.
The zones do contain logic to maintain a clean display. By default, the zones extend conditionally when price returns to the previous consolidation range. If desired, the zones can be extended regardless of price action; this can be toggled with the option "Regardless Extension Mode", as seen below.
> Hollow Candles & Zone Merging
When consolidation is identified, a hollow candle is drawn; these can be used to see exactly when each zone is identified. It is important to understand that consolidation zones stemming from the same origin are merged into one zone. This is a frequent occurrence when the consolidation threshold is passed, but the consolidation continues. For this reason you will often see multiple hollow candles in the later areas of the zones.
Similarly, zones from different origin points that overlap are also merged into one consolidation zone. This ensures that no core zones overlap.
Additionally, every time a zone is merged, a new volume profile for the area is calculated.
> Bar Gap Allowance Type (Technical Explanation)
The specific bar gap allowance value can be altered, but so can the type of allowance being used. While some analyses may benefit from counting the total amount of bar gaps within the consolidation, others may benefit from detecting based on consecutive bar gaps.
The chart image above displays the gap counts for each gap allowance type.
The total bar gap allowance type will count until the gap amount is reached, then terminate detection once the allowed number of gaps has been exceeded.
The consecutive bar gap allowance type resets its count once it finds a valid bar within range, by doing so, it only counts the bars that separate each island of in-range bars.
Both methods have merit.
> Implementation
This identification method has proven effective to identify consolidation across market types. As a result, there cannot be one configuration of settings to fit every application. Adapting the detection type and method for each trader's specific market conditions is highly recommended.
When determining parameters, it is helpful to consider time, as it plays a major role in the identification method.
On a 1D chart, the default threshold of 15 corresponds to 15 days, or about 3 weeks depending on the ticker. To identify periods of one-week consolidation, a threshold of 5 would be suitable. To detect perfect gapless weeks, a bar gap allowance of 0 could be used, as seen in the chart image below.
Additional Example:
In the chart image above, we see a 15-second forex chart over the span of a few hours. The detection parameters are set up to detect 15-minute consolidation with a 2-minute max dead zone (consecutive bar gap).
> Detection Source
By default, the script detects consolidation ranges using the full extent of candle wicks. While this is traditional, detection can also be done using only the candle bodies. These identifications are much more nuanced, detecting only from confirmed candle price action; they do not trigger at the same frequency as wick detection.
Optionally, a "Wick/Body Average" can be chosen as the source for detection; as the name implies, this uses the average value between the candle body and its respective wick.
> Additional Settings
The settings mentioned thus far serve as core parameters for identifying consolidation. The following parameters are simply included for the benefit of the advanced user. It is not recommended to adjust these settings under normal circumstances.
- Value Area Percent: Default = 68.26, while traditionally 70 for volume profiles, 68.26 is accurate to the values of a standard bell-curve distribution. The differences are minimal in application.
- VP Rows: Default = 99, Sets the number of rows to be used when calculating the Volume Profiles (VP); note that higher values will lead to a slower calculation. Max value: 999
> Final Notes
If you have made it this far, thank you for reading.
I hope you find value in this new consolidation identification system and understand the logic behind it.
That's it.

Stochastic + Bollinger Bands Multi-Timeframe StrategyThis strategy fuses the Stochastic Oscillator from the 4-hour timeframe with Bollinger Bands from the 1-hour timeframe, operating on a 10-hour chart to capture a unique volatility rhythm and temporal alignment discovered through observational alpha.
By blending momentum confirmation from the higher timeframe with short-term volatility extremes, the strategy leverages what some traders refer to as “rotating volatility” — a phenomenon where multi-timeframe oscillations sync to reveal hidden trade opportunities.
🧠 Strategy Logic
✅ Long Entry Condition:
Stochastic on the 4H timeframe:
%K crosses above %D
Both %K and %D are below 20 (oversold zone)
Bollinger Bands on the 1H timeframe:
Price crosses above the lower Bollinger Band, indicating a potential reversal
→ A long trade is opened when both momentum recovery and volatility reversion align.
✅ Long Exit Condition:
Stochastic on the 4H:
%K crosses below %D
Both %K and %D are above 80 (overbought zone)
Bollinger Bands on the 1H:
Price reaches or exceeds the upper Bollinger Band, suggesting exhaustion
→ The long trade is closed when either signal suggests a potential reversal or overextension.
🧬 Temporal Structure & Alpha
This strategy is deployed on a 10-hour chart — a non-standard timeframe that may align more effectively with multi-timeframe mean reversion dynamics.
This subtle adjustment exploits what some traders identify as “temporal drift” — the desynchronization of volatility across timeframes that creates hidden rhythm in price action.
→ For example, Stochastic on 4H (lookback 17) and Bollinger Bands on 1H (lookback 20) may periodically sync around 10H intervals, offering unique alpha windows.
📊 Indicator Components
🔹 Stochastic Oscillator (4H, Length 17)
Detects momentum reversals using %K and %D crossovers
Helps define overbought/oversold zones from a mid-term view
🔹 Bollinger Bands (1H, Length 20, ±2 StdDev)
Measures price volatility using standard deviation around a moving average
Entry occurs near lower band (support), exits near upper band (resistance)
🔹 Multi-Timeframe Logic
Uses request.security() to safely reference 4H and 1H indicators from a 10H chart
Avoids repainting by using closed higher-timeframe candles only
📈 Visualization
A plot selector input allows toggling between:
Stochastic Plot (%K & %D, with overbought/oversold levels)
Bollinger Bands Plot (Upper, Basis, Lower from 1H data)
This helps users visually confirm entry/exit triggers in real time.

BB SPY Mean Reversion Investment StrategySummary
Mean reversion first, continuation second. This strategy targets equities and ETFs on daily timeframes. It waits for price to revert from a Bollinger location with candle and EMA agreement, then manages risk with ATR based exits. Uniqueness comes from two elements working together. One, an adaptive band multiplier driven by volatility of volatility that expands or contracts the envelope as conditions change. Two, a bias memory that re arms the same direction after any stop, target, or time exit until a true opposite signal appears. Add it to a clean chart, use the markers and levels, and select on bar close for conservative alerts. Shapes can move while the bar is open and settle on close.
Scope and intent
• Markets. Currently adapted for SPY, needs to be optimized for other assets
• Timeframes. Daily primary. Other frames are possible but not the default
• Default demo. SPY on daily
• Purpose. Trade mean reversion entries that can chain into a longer swing by splitting holds into ATR or time segments
Originality and usefulness
• Novelty. Adaptive band width from volatility of volatility plus a persistent bias array that keeps the original direction alive across sequential entries until an opposite setup is confirmed
• Failure modes mitigated. False starts in chop are reduced by candle color and EMA location. Missed continuation after a take profit or stop is addressed by the re arm engine. Oversized envelopes during quiet regimes are avoided by the adaptive multiplier
• Testability. Every module has Inputs and visible levels so users can see why a suggestion appears
• Portable yardstick. All risk and targets are expressed in ATR units
Method overview in plain language
The engine measures where price sits relative to Bollinger bands, confirms with candle color and EMA location, requires ADX for shorts(in our case long close since we use it currently as long only), and optionally requires a trend or mean reversion regime using band width percent rank and basis slope. Risk uses ATR for stop, target, and optional breakeven. A small array stores the last confirmed direction. While flat, the engine keeps a pending order in that direction. The array flips only when a true opposite setup appears.
Base measures
• Range basis. True Range smoothed over a user defined ATR Length
• Return basis. Not required
Components
• Bollinger envelope. SMA length and standard deviation multiplier. Entry is based on cross of close through the band with location bias
• Candle and EMA filter. Close relative to open and close relative to EMA align direction
• ADX gate for shorts. Requires minimum trend strength for short trades
• Adaptive multiplier. Band width scales using volatility of volatility so envelopes breathe with conditions
• Regime gate optional. Band width percent rank and basis slope identify trend or mean reversion regimes
• Risk manager. ATR stop, ATR target, optional breakeven, optional time exit
• Bias memory. Array stores last confirmed direction and re arms entries while flat
Fusion rule
Minimum satisfied gates count style. All required gates must be true. Optional gates are controlled in Inputs. Bias memory never overrides an opposite confirmed setup.
Signal rule
• Long setup when close crosses up through the lower band, the bar closes green, and close is above the long EMA
• Short setup when close crosses down through the upper band, the bar closes red, close is below the short EMA, and ADX is above the minimum
• While flat the model keeps a pending order in the stored direction until a true opposite setup appears
• IN LONG or IN SHORT describes states between entry and exit
What you will see on the chart
• Markers for Long and Short setups
• Exit markers from ATR or time rules
• Reference levels for entry, stop, and target
• Bollinger bands and optional adaptive bands
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Signal timeframe. Uses the chart timeframe
• Invert direction optional. Flips long and short
Logic
• BB Length. Typical 10 to 50. Higher smooths more
• BB Mult. Typical 1.0 to 2.5. Higher widens entries
• EMA Length long. Typical 10 to 50
• EMA Length short. Typical 5 to 30
• ADX Minimum for short. Typical 15 to 35
Filters
• Regime Type. none or trend or mean reversion
• Rank Lookback. Typical 100 to 300
• Basis Slope Length and Threshold. Larger values reduce false trends
Risk
• ATR Length. Typical 10 to 21
• ATR Stop Mult. Typical 1.0 to 3.0
• ATR Take Profit Mult. Typical 2.0 to 5.0
• Breakeven Trigger R. Move stop to entry after the chosen multiple
• Time Exit. Minimum bars and extension when profit exceeds a fraction of ATR
Bias and rearm
• Bias flips kept. Array depth
• Keep rearm when flat. Maintain a pending order while flat
UI
• Show markers and levels. Clean defaults
Usage recipes
Alerts update in real time and can change while the bar forms. Select on bar close for conservative workflows.
Properties visible in this publication
• Initial capital 25000

Realism and responsible publication
No performance claims. Costs and fills vary by venue. Shapes can move intrabar and settle on close. Strategies use standard candles only.
Honest limitations and failure modes
High impact releases and thin liquidity can break assumptions. Gap heavy symbols may require larger ATR. Very quiet regimes can reduce contrast in the mean reversion signal. If stop and target can both be touched inside one bar, outcome follows the TradingView order model for that bar path.
Regimes with extreme one sided trend and very low volatility can reduce mean reversion edges. Results vary by symbol and venue. Past results never guarantee future outcomes.
Open source reuse and credits
None.
Backtest realism
Costs are realistic for liquid equities. Sizing does not exceed five percent per trade by default. Any departure should be justified by the user.

Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Trend Channel [BOSWaves]Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Trend Channel - Adaptive Mean Reversion with Dynamic Equilibrium Geometry
Overview
The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Trend Channel introduces an advanced equilibrium-mapping framework that blends statistical mean reversion with adaptive trend geometry. Traditional channels and regression bands react linearly to volatility, often failing to capture the natural rhythm of price equilibrium. This model evolves that concept through a dynamic reversion engine, where equilibrium adapts continuously to volatility, trend slope, and structural bias - forming a living channel that bends, expands, and contracts in real time.
The result is a smooth, equilibrium-driven representation of market balance - not just trend direction. Instead of static bands or abrupt slope shifts, traders see fluid, volatility-aware motion that mirrors the natural pull-and-release dynamic of market behavior. Each channel visualizes the probabilistic boundaries of fair value, showing where price tends to revert and where it accelerates away from its statistical mean.
Unlike conventional envelopes or Bollinger-type constructs, the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck framework is volatility-reactive and equilibrium-sensitive, providing traders with a contextual map of where price is likely to stabilize, extend, or exhaust.
Theoretical Foundation
The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Trend Channel is inspired by stochastic mean-reversion processes - mathematical models used to describe systems that oscillate around a drifting equilibrium. While linear regression channels assume constant variance, financial markets operate under variable volatility and shifting equilibrium points. The OU process accounts for this by treating price as a mean-seeking motion governed by volatility and trend persistence.
At its core are three interacting components:
Equilibrium Mean (μ) : Represents the evolving balance point of price, adjusting to directional bias and volatility.
Reversion Rate (θ) : Defines how strongly price is pulled back toward equilibrium after deviation, capturing the self-correcting nature of market structure.
Volatility Coefficient (σ) : Controls how far and how quickly price can diverge from equilibrium before mean reversion pressure increases.
By embedding this stochastic model inside a volatility-adjusted framework, the system accurately scales across different markets and conditions - maintaining meaningful equilibrium geometry across crypto, forex, indices, or commodities. This design gives traders a mathematically grounded yet visually intuitive interpretation of dynamic balance in live market motion.
How It Works
The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Trend Channel is constructed through a structured multi-stage process that merges stochastic logic with volatility mechanics:
Equilibrium Estimation Core : The indicator begins by identifying the evolving mean using adaptive smoothing influenced by trend direction and volatility. This becomes the live centerline - the statistical anchor around which price naturally oscillates.
Volatility Normalization Layer : ATR or rolling deviation is used to calculate volatility intensity. The output scales the channel width dynamically, ensuring that boundaries reflect current variance rather than static thresholds.
Directional Bias Engine : EMA slope and trend confirmation logic determine whether equilibrium should tilt upward or downward. This creates asymmetrical channel motion that bends with the prevailing trend rather than staying horizontal.
Channel Boundary Construction : Upper and lower bands are plotted at volatility-proportional distances from the mean. These envelopes form the “statistical pressure zones” that indicate where mean reversion or acceleration may occur.
Signal and Lifecycle Control : Channel breaches, mean crossovers, and slope flips mark statistically significant events - exhaustion, continuation, or rebalancing. Older equilibrium zones gradually fade, ensuring a clear, context-aware visual field.
Through these layers, the channel forms a continuously updating equilibrium corridor that adapts in real time - breathing with the market’s volatility and rhythm.
Interpretation
The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Trend Channel reframes how traders interpret balance and momentum. Instead of viewing price as directional movement alone, it visualizes the constant tension between trending force and equilibrium pull.
Uptrend Phases : The equilibrium mean tilts upward, with price oscillating around or slightly above the midline. Upper band touches signal momentum extension; lower touches reflect healthy reversion.
Downtrend Phases : The mean slopes downward, with upper-band interactions marking resistance zones and lower bands acting as reversion boundaries.
Equilibrium Transitions : Flat mean sections indicate balance or distribution phases. Breaks from these neutral zones often precede directional expansion.
Overextension Events : When price closes beyond an outer boundary, it marks statistically significant disequilibrium - an early warning of exhaustion or volatility reset.
Visually, the OU channel translates volatility and equilibrium into structured geometry, giving traders a statistical lens on trend quality, reversion probability, and volatility stress points.
Strategy Integration
The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Trend Channel integrates seamlessly into both mean-reversion and trend-continuation systems:
Trend Alignment : Use mean slope direction to confirm higher-timeframe bias before entering continuation setups.
Reversion Entries : Target rejections from outer bands when supported by volume or divergence, capturing snapbacks toward equilibrium.
Volatility Breakout Mapping : Monitor boundary expansions to identify transition from compression to expansion phases.
Liquidity Zone Confirmation : Combine with BOS or order-block indicators to validate structural zones against equilibrium positioning.
Momentum Filtering : Align with oscillators or volume profiles to isolate equilibrium-based pullbacks with statistical context.
Technical Implementation Details
Core Engine : Stochastic Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process for continuous mean recalibration.
Volatility Framework : ATR- and deviation-based scaling for dynamic channel expansion.
Directional Logic : EMA-slope driven bias for adaptive mean tilt.
Channel Composition : Independent upper and lower envelopes with smoothing and transparency control.
Signal Structure : Alerts for mean crossovers and boundary breaches.
Performance Profile : Lightweight, multi-timeframe compatible implementation optimized for real-time responsiveness.
Optimal Application Parameters
Timeframe Guidance:
1 - 5 min : Reactive equilibrium tracking for short-term scalping and microstructure analysis.
15 - 60 min : Medium-range setups for volatility-phase transitions and intraday structure.
4H - Daily : Macro equilibrium mapping for identifying exhaustion, distribution, or reaccumulation zones.
Suggested Configuration:
Mean Length : 20 - 50
Volatility Multiplier : 1.5× - 2.5×
Reversion Sensitivity : 0.4 - 0.8
Smoothing : 2 - 5
Parameter tuning should reflect asset liquidity, volatility, and desired reversion frequency.
Performance Characteristics
High Effectiveness:
Trending environments with cyclical pullbacks and volatility oscillation.
Markets exhibiting consistent equilibrium-return behavior (indices, majors, high-cap crypto).
Reduced Effectiveness:
Low-volatility consolidations with minimal variance.
Random walk markets lacking definable equilibrium anchors.
Integration Guidelines
Confluence Framework : Pair with BOSWaves structural tools or momentum oscillators for context validation.
Directional Control : Follow mean slope alignment for directional conviction before acting on channel extremes.
Risk Calibration : Use outer band violations for controlled contrarian entries or trailing stop management.
Multi-Timeframe Synergy : Derive macro equilibrium zones on higher timeframes and refine entries on lower levels.
Disclaimer
The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Trend Channel is a professional-grade equilibrium and volatility framework. It is not predictive or profit-assured; performance depends on parameter calibration, volatility regime, and disciplined execution. BOSWaves recommends using it as part of a comprehensive analytical stack combining structure, liquidity, and momentum context.

Volume Sentiment Breakout Channels [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This tool visualizes breakout zones based on volume sentiment within dynamic price channels . It identifies high-impact consolidation areas, quantifies buy/sell dominance inside those zones, and then displays real-time shifts in sentiment strength. When the market breaks above or below these sentiment-weighted channels, traders can interpret the event as a change in conviction, not just a technical breakout.
🟠 CONCEPTS
The script builds on two layers of logic:
Channel Detection : A volatility-based algorithm locates price compression areas using normalized highs and lows over a defined lookback. These “boxes” mark accumulation or distribution ranges.
Volume Sentiment Profiling : Each channel is internally divided into small bins, where volume is aggregated and signed by candle direction. This produces a granular sentiment map showing which levels are dominated by buyers or sellers.
When a breakout occurs, the script clears the previous box and forms a new one, letting traders visually track transitions between phases of control. The colored gradients and text updates continuously reflect the internal bias—green for net-buying, red for net-selling—so you can see conviction strength at a glance.
🟠 FEATURES
Volume-weighted sentiment map inside each box, with gradient color intensity proportional to participation.
Dynamic text display of current and overall sentiment within each channel.
Real-time trail lines to show active bullish/bearish trend extensions after breakout.
🟠 USAGE
Setup : Add the script to your chart and enable Strong Closes Only if you prefer cleaner breakouts. Use shorter normalization length (e.g., 50–80) for fast markets; longer (100–200) for smoother transitions.
Read Signals : Transparent boxes mark active sentiment channels. Green gradients show buy-side dominance, red shows sell-side. The middle dashed line is the equilibrium of the channel. “▲” appears when price breaks upward, “▼” when it breaks downward.
Understanding Sentiment : The sentiment profile can be used to show the probability of the price moving up or down at respective price levels.

3SD Bollinger Exhaustion & Reversal Alert IndicatorThe Bollinger Band 3 Standard Deviation (3SD) captures roughly 99% of price action within its boundaries.
When price moves beyond these extremes, it often signals temporary overextension — creating opportunities for mean reversion trades, especially when aligned with the prevailing trend.
This indicator alerts you when:
- Price touches the 3SD Bollinger Band on higher timeframes (H4, D1, W1, M1), and
- A reversal reaction occurs — defined by a bullish or bearish candle close on H1 or H4.
Together, these conditions identify potential high-probability entry zones where exhaustion meets trend alignment.
🚀 Coming Soon
A premium version is in development, combining this 3SD exhaustion logic with my proprietary trend-following system.
It will generate confluence-based trade signals when price interacts with both the 3SD band and the trend-following band.
Stay tuned for updates.

This indicator solves a common problem traders face: traditional VWAP resets at arbitrary intervals (session start, day, week), but significant price action and volume accumulation often spans multiple periods. VWAP Composite allows you to anchor VWAP calculations to any timeframe—or combine multiple periods into a single composite VWAP—giving you a true representation of average price weighted by volume across the exact periods that matter to your analysis.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚙️ HOW IT WORKS - CALCULATION METHODOLOGY
📌 CORE VWAP CALCULATION
The indicator calculates VWAP using the standard volume-weighted formula:
• Typical Price = (High + Low + Close) / 3
• VWAP = Σ(Typical Price × Volume) / Σ(Volume)
This calculation is performed across user-defined time periods, ensuring each bar's contribution to the average is proportional to its trading volume.
📌 STANDARD DEVIATION BANDS
The indicator calculates volume-weighted standard deviation to measure price dispersion around the VWAP:
• Variance = Σ / Σ(Volume)
• Standard Deviation = √Variance
• Upper Band = VWAP + (StdDev × Multiplier)
• Lower Band = VWAP - (StdDev × Multiplier)
These bands help identify overbought/oversold conditions relative to the volume-weighted mean, with high-volume price excursions having greater impact on band width than low-volume moves.
📌 COMPOSITE PERIOD METHODOLOGY (Auto Mode)
Unlike traditional VWAP that resets at fixed intervals, Auto Mode creates composite VWAPs by combining the current period with N previous periods:
• Period Span = 1: Current period only (standard VWAP behavior)
• Period Span = 2: Current period + 1 previous period combined
• Period Span = 3: Current period + 2 previous periods combined
• And so on...
Example: A 3-period Weekly composite VWAP calculates from the start of 2 weeks ago through the current week's end, creating a single VWAP that represents 21 days of continuous price and volume data. This provides context about where price stands relative to the volume-weighted average over multiple weeks, not just the current week.

🔧 KEY FEATURES & ORIGINALITY
✅ DUAL OPERATING MODES
1️⃣ MANUAL MODE (5 Independent VWAPs)
Define up to 5 separate VWAP calculations with custom start/end times:
• Perfect for anchoring VWAP to specific events (earnings, Fed announcements, major reversals)
• Each VWAP has independent color settings for lines and deviation band backgrounds
• Individual control over calculation extension and visual extension (explained below)
• Useful for tracking multiple institutional accumulation/distribution zones simultaneously
2️⃣ AUTO MODE (Composite Period VWAP)
Automatically calculates VWAP across combined time periods:
• Supported periods: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly
• Configurable period span (1-20 periods)
• Always up-to-date, recalculates on each new bar
• Ideal for systematic analysis across consistent timeframes
✅ DUAL EXTENSION SYSTEM (Manual Mode Innovation)
Most VWAP indicators only offer "on/off" for extending calculations. This indicator provides two distinct extension options:
🔹 EXTEND CALCULATION TO CURRENT BAR
When enabled, continues including new bars in the VWAP calculation after the defined end time. The VWAP value updates dynamically as new volume enters the market.
Use case: You anchored VWAP to a major low 3 weeks ago. You want the VWAP to continue evolving with new volume data to track ongoing institutional positioning.
🔹 EXTEND VISUAL LINE ONLY
When enabled (and calculation extension is disabled), projects the "frozen" VWAP value forward as a reference line. The VWAP value remains fixed at what it was at the end time, but the line and deviation bands visually extend to current price.
Use case: You want to see how price is behaving relative to the VWAP that existed at a specific point in time (e.g., "Where is price now vs. the 5-day VWAP that existed at last Friday's close?").
This dual system gives you unprecedented control over whether you're tracking a "living" VWAP that incorporates new data or using historical VWAP levels as static reference points.
✅ CUSTOMIZABLE STANDARD DEVIATION BANDS
• Adjustable multiplier (0.1 to 5.0)
• Independent background colors with opacity control for each VWAP
• Dashed band lines for easy visual distinction from main VWAP
• Bands extend when visual extension is enabled, maintaining zone visibility
✅ COMPREHENSIVE LABELING SYSTEM
Each VWAP displays:
• Current VWAP value
• Upper deviation band value (High)
• Lower deviation band value (Low)
• Extension status indicator (Calc Extended / Visual Extended)
• Color-coded for quick identification

📖 HOW TO USE THIS INDICATOR
🎯 SCENARIO 1: EVENT-ANCHORED VWAP (Manual Mode)
Use case: A stock gaps down 15% on earnings and you want to track where institutions are positioning during the recovery.
Setup:
1. Switch to Manual Mode
2. Enable VWAP 1
3. Set Start Time to the earnings gap bar
4. Set End Time to current time (or leave far in future)
5. Enable "Extend Calculation to Current Bar"
6. Watch how price respects the VWAP as a dynamic support/resistance
Interpretation:
• Price above VWAP = buyers in control since the event
• Price testing VWAP from above = potential support
• Volume-weighted standard deviation bands show normal price range
• Price outside bands = potential exhaustion/mean reversion setup
🎯 SCENARIO 2: MULTI-WEEK INSTITUTIONAL ACCUMULATION ZONE (Auto Mode)
Use case: You trade swing setups and want to identify where institutions have been accumulating over the past 3 weeks.
Setup:
1. Switch to Auto Mode
2. Select "Weekly" period type
3. Set Period Span to 3
4. Enable standard deviation bands
Interpretation:
• 3-week composite VWAP shows the true average institutional entry
• Price bouncing off VWAP repeatedly = strong support (institutions defending their average)
• Price breaking below VWAP on high volume = potential distribution
• Deviation bands contracting = consolidation; expanding = volatility increase
🎯 SCENARIO 3: COMPARING MULTIPLE TIME HORIZONS (Manual Mode)
Use case: You want to see short-term vs medium-term vs long-term VWAP alignments.
Setup:
1. Switch to Manual Mode
2. VWAP 1: Last 5 trading days (blue)
3. VWAP 2: Last 10 trading days (orange)
4. VWAP 3: Last 20 trading days (purple)
5. Enable "Extend Calculation" for all
6. Set different background colors for visual separation
Interpretation:
• All VWAPs aligned upward = strong trend across all timeframes
• Price between VWAPs = finding equilibrium between different trader timeframes
• Short-term VWAP crossing long-term VWAP = momentum shift
• Price rejecting at higher-timeframe VWAP = that timeframe's traders defending their average
🎯 SCENARIO 4: HISTORICAL VWAP REFERENCE LEVELS (Manual Mode)
Use case: You want to see where the 1-month VWAP was at each month-end as static reference levels.
Setup:
1. Switch to Manual Mode
2. VWAP 1: Set to last month's start/end dates
3. VWAP 2: Set to 2 months ago start/end dates
4. VWAP 3: Set to 3 months ago start/end dates
5. Disable "Extend Calculation"
6. Enable "Extend Visual Line Only"
Interpretation:
• Each VWAP represents the volume-weighted average for that complete month
• These become static support/resistance levels
• Price returning to old monthly VWAPs = institutional memory/gap fill behavior
• Useful for identifying longer-term value areas

TriAnchor Elastic Reversion US Market SPY and QQQ adaptedSummary in one paragraph
Mean-reversion strategy for liquid ETFs, index futures, large-cap equities, and major crypto on intraday to daily timeframes. It waits for three anchored VWAP stretches to become statistically extreme, aligns with bar-shape and breadth, and fades the move. Originality comes from fusing daily, weekly, and monthly AVWAP distances into a single ATR-normalized energy percentile, then gating with a robust Z-score and a session-safe gap filter.
Scope and intent
• Markets: SPY QQQ IWM NDX large caps liquid futures liquid crypto
• Timeframes: 5 min to 1 day
• Default demo: SPY on 60 min
• Purpose: fade stretched moves only when multi-anchor context and breadth agree
• Limits: strategy uses standard candles for signals and orders only
Originality and usefulness
• Unique fusion: tri-anchor AVWAP energy percentile plus robust Z of close plus shape-in-range gate plus breadth Z of SPY QQQ IWM
• Failure mode addressed: chasing extended moves and fading during index-wide thrusts
• Testability: each component is an input and visible in orders list via L and S tags
• Portable yardstick: distances are ATR-normalized so thresholds transfer across symbols
• Open source: method and implementation are disclosed for community review
Method overview in plain language
Base measures
• Range basis: ATR(length = atr_len) as the normalization unit
• Return basis: not used directly; we use rank statistics for stability
Components
• Tri-Anchor Energy: squared distances of price from daily, weekly, monthly AVWAPs, each divided by ATR, then summed and ranked to a percentile over base_len
• Robust Z of Close: median and MAD based Z to avoid outliers
• Shape Gate: position of close inside bar range to require capitulation for longs and exhaustion for shorts
• Breadth Gate: average robust Z of SPY QQQ IWM to avoid fading when the tape is one-sided
• Gap Shock: skip signals after large session gaps
Fusion rule
• All required gates must be true: Energy ≥ energy_trig_prc, |Robust Z| ≥ z_trig, Shape satisfied, Breadth confirmed, Gap filter clear
Signal rule
• Long: energy extreme, Z negative beyond threshold, close near bar low, breadth Z ≤ −breadth_z_ok
• Short: energy extreme, Z positive beyond threshold, close near bar high, breadth Z ≥ +breadth_z_ok
What you will see on the chart
• Standard strategy arrows for entries and exits
• Optional short-side brackets: ATR stop and ATR take profit if enabled
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Base length: window for percentile ranks and medians. Typical 40 to 80. Longer smooths, shorter reacts.
• ATR length: normalization unit. Typical 10 to 20. Higher reduces noise.
• VWAP band stdev: volatility bands for anchors. Typical 2.0 to 4.0.
• Robust Z window: 40 to 100. Larger for stability.
• Robust Z entry magnitude: 1.2 to 2.2. Higher means stronger extremes only.
• Energy percentile trigger: 90 to 99.5. Higher limits signals to rare stretches.
• Bar close in range gate long: 0.05 to 0.25. Larger requires deeper capitulation for longs.
Regime and Breadth
• Use breadth gate: on when trading indices or broad ETFs.
• Breadth Z confirm magnitude: 0.8 to 1.8. Higher avoids fighting thrusts.
• Gap shock percent: 1.0 to 5.0. Larger allows more gaps to trade.
Risk — Short only

Mean Reversion Oscillator [Alpha Extract]An advanced composite oscillator system specifically designed to identify extreme market conditions and high-probability mean reversion opportunities, combining five proven oscillators into a single, powerful analytical framework.
By integrating multiple momentum and volume-based indicators with sophisticated extreme level detection, this oscillator provides precise entry signals for contrarian trading strategies while filtering out false reversals through momentum confirmation.
🔶 Multi-Oscillator Composite Framework
Utilizes a comprehensive approach that combines Bollinger %B, RSI, Stochastic, Money Flow Index, and Williams %R into a unified composite score. This multi-dimensional analysis ensures robust signal generation by capturing different aspects of market extremes and momentum shifts.
// Weighted composite (equal weights)
normalized_bb = bb_percent
normalized_rsi = rsi
normalized_stoch = stoch_d_val
normalized_mfi = mfi
normalized_williams = williams_r
composite_raw = (normalized_bb + normalized_rsi + normalized_stoch + normalized_mfi + normalized_williams) / 5
composite = ta.sma(composite_raw, composite_smooth)
🔶 Advanced Extreme Level Detection
Features a sophisticated dual-threshold system that distinguishes between moderate and extreme market conditions. This hierarchical approach allows traders to identify varying degrees of mean reversion potential, from moderate oversold/overbought conditions to extreme levels that demand immediate attention.
🔶 Momentum Confirmation System
Incorporates a specialized momentum histogram that confirms mean reversion signals by analyzing the rate of change in the composite oscillator. This prevents premature entries during strong trending conditions while highlighting genuine reversal opportunities.
// Oscillator momentum (rate of change)
osc_momentum = ta.mom(composite, 5)
histogram = osc_momentum
// Momentum confirmation
momentum_bullish = histogram > histogram
momentum_bearish = histogram < histogram
// Confirmed signals
confirmed_bullish = bullish_entry and momentum_bullish
confirmed_bearish = bearish_entry and momentum_bearish
🔶 Dynamic Visual Intelligence
The oscillator line adapts its color intensity based on proximity to extreme levels, providing instant visual feedback about market conditions. Background shading creates clear zones that highlight when markets enter moderate or extreme territories.
🔶 Intelligent Signal Generation
Generates precise entry signals only when the composite oscillator crosses extreme thresholds with momentum confirmation. This dual-confirmation approach significantly reduces false signals while maintaining sensitivity to genuine mean reversion opportunities.
How It Works
🔶 Composite Score Calculation
The indicator simultaneously tracks five different oscillators, each normalized to a 0-100 scale, then combines them into a smoothed composite score. This approach eliminates the noise inherent in single-oscillator analysis while capturing the consensus view of multiple momentum indicators.
// Mean reversion entry signals
bullish_entry = ta.crossover(composite, 100 - extreme_level) and composite < (100 - extreme_level)
bearish_entry = ta.crossunder(composite, extreme_level) and composite > extreme_level
// Bollinger %B calculation
bb_basis = ta.sma(src, bb_length)
bb_dev = bb_mult * ta.stdev(src, bb_length)
bb_percent = (src - bb_lower) / (bb_upper - bb_lower) * 100
🔶 Extreme Zone Identification
The system automatically identifies when markets reach statistically significant extreme levels, both moderate (65/35) and extreme (80/20). These zones represent areas where mean reversion has the highest probability of success based on historical market behavior.
🔶 Momentum Histogram Analysis
A specialized momentum histogram tracks the velocity of oscillator changes, helping traders distinguish between healthy corrections and potential trend reversals. The histogram's color-coded display makes momentum shifts immediately apparent.
🔶 Divergence Detection Framework
Built-in divergence analysis identifies situations where price and oscillator movements diverge, often signaling impending reversals. Diamond-shaped markers highlight these critical divergence patterns for enhanced pattern recognition.
🔶 Real-Time Information Dashboard
An integrated information table provides instant access to current oscillator readings, market status, and individual component values. This dashboard eliminates the need to manually check multiple indicators while trading.
🔶 Individual Component Display
Optional display of individual oscillator components allows traders to understand which specific indicators are driving the composite signal. This transparency enables more informed decision-making and deeper market analysis.
🔶 Adaptive Background Coloring
Intelligent background shading automatically adjusts based on market conditions, creating visual zones that correspond to different levels of mean reversion potential. The subtle color gradations make pattern recognition effortless.

Volume Delta [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Volume Delta indicator visualizes the dominance between buying and selling volume within a given period. It calculates the percentage of bullish (buy) versus bearish (sell) volume, then color-codes the candles and provides a real-time dashboard comparing delta values across multiple currency pairs. This makes it a powerful tool for monitoring order-flow strength and intermarket relationships in real time.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Each bar’s buy volume is counted when the close is higher than the open.
Each bar’s sell volume is counted when the close is lower than the open.
volumeBuy = 0.
volumeSell = 0.
for i = 0 to period
if close > open
volumeBuy += volume
else
volumeSell += volume
The indicator sums both over a chosen period to calculate the ratio of buy-to-sell pressure.
Delta (%) = (Buy Volume ÷ (Buy Volume + Sell Volume)) × 100.
Gradient colors highlight whether buying or selling pressure dominates.
🔵 FEATURES
Calculates real-time Volume Delta for the selected chart or for multiple assets.
Colors candles dynamically based on the delta intensity (green = buy pressure, red = sell pressure).
Displays a dashboard table showing volume delta % for up to five instruments.
The dashboard features visual progress bars for quick intermarket comparison.
An optional Delta Bar Panel shows the ratio of Buy/Sell volumes near the latest bar.
A floating label shows the exact Buy/Sell percentages.
Works across all symbols and timeframes for multi-asset delta tracking.
🔵 HOW TO USE
When Buy % > Sell % , it often signals bullish momentum or strong accumulation—but can also indicate over-excitement and a possible market top.
Market Tops
When Sell % > Buy % , it typically reflects bearish pressure or distribution—but may also occur near a market bottom where selling exhaustion forms.
Market Bottom
Use the Dashboard to compare volume flow across correlated assets (e.g., major Forex pairs or sector groups).
Combine readings with trend or volatility filters to confirm whether the imbalance aligns with broader directional conviction.
Treat the Delta Bar visualization as a real-time sentiment gauge—showing which side (buyers or sellers) dominates the current session.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Volume Delta transforms volume analysis into an intuitive directional signal.
By quantifying buy/sell pressure and displaying it as a percentage or color gradient, it provides traders with a clearer picture of real-time volume imbalance — whether within one market or across multiple correlated instruments.
