Overview
This indicator dynamically marks highs and lows of the premarket (4:00am-9:30amEST) and opening range. It displays Fair Value Gaps, 9 and 21 period Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) and the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP). To really help beginners, it marks suggested entry points on the chart with green or red triangles, when a reasonable trend appears.
Features
Automatically draws blue lines for Premarket High and Low values
Dynamically marks the opening Range region
Visual entry signals for long and short opportunities
Primarily used for stocks/funds , but works with forex and crypto
Quick configuration settings to tailor details for your experience level
Mobile friendly mode
Supports alerts
How To Use
Open your chart, and select a 1 or 2 minute timeframe.
Watch for green triangles and red triangles, hinting at entries for long or short positions. Pay particular attention to the price action as it approaches the bounds of the opening range and the premarket levels. I suggest also using a MACD indicator for confirmation of the trend.
For scalping 0dte Options, switch frequently between the 1 ,2 and 5 minute or higher timeframes. Do this so you will not miss an entry opportunity or be unaware of the overall trend.
As a beginner, until you have refined your strategy and develop risk management, take profits as low as 10%. A small profit can quickly become a much larger loss. With 0dte options, time will devour your profits even when the price doesn’t budge.
What makes this indicator so beginner friendly?
Charts with too many lines and colors are are a nightmare for beginners! And empty charts do not tell the whole story. Simple checkboxes in the configuration settings let you turn on and off features to match your comfort level. As you become more familiar you might try turning off the suggested entries to see if you would have selected the same or better ones yourself. Just one example of how you will learn and verify your knowledge. You will quickly spot Opening Range Breakouts and more.
Why are the triangle pointers not simply above or below the bars?
As a beginner, I like to review charts to see how much the price changed, then estimate how much a contract would move based on its delta. A mouthful, I know. But what price does an arrow pointing up below a bar reflect? Would I have entered at the open or close, low or high? This indicator helps by putting the marker close to the price when indicated. It can even display the actual price on the bar. This is helpful for you to make fast calculations without a measuring tool.
I am an experienced trader. Can this help me make winning trades?
Sure. It can also help you make losing ones! Profit is not guaranteed with any indicator or strategy. This indicator is designed to assist you as you learn and while you trade. You won't see the words BUY or SELL. This is not a signal bot! It is merely a tool to assist you. You can learn a lot by spending time observing price movement using this indicator without ever making a single trade.

Multitimeframe
Multi-Timeframe SMTSummery
The Multi-Timeframe SMT indicator is designed to identify and visualize Higher Timeframe (HTF) data on a Lower Timeframe (LTF) chart, allowing traders to see the broader market context without changing their current chart's resolution. It accurately draws pivots and SMT divergences from higher timeframes on the corresponding candles of your current lower timeframe chart.
Its core features include:
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Configure and monitor pivots on up to four independent timeframes, from intraday to monthly.
Customizable Pivot Detection: Define the strength of pivots by adjusting the number of bars to the left and right.
SMT Divergence: Automatically identifies bullish and bearish SMT divergences by comparing the price action of the main chart symbol with a chosen correlated asset.
Early SMT Detection: A unique feature that monitors a lower "detection timeframe" to provide early warnings of potential SMT setups before they're confirmed on the main timeframe. Note that this early detection is only shown on timeframes equal to or lower than the "Detection timeframe" you have set.
Visual Cues & Alerts: Clear on-chart labels, lines, and fully customizable alerts notify you of confirmed pivots and SMT divergences, ensuring you don't miss key opportunities.
Important Nuance Regarding Pivot Label Display
Due to a self-imposed limit within this script's drawing management logic, the indicator might quickly reach its drawing capacity if you enable pivot crosses for multiple timeframes simultaneously. When this internal drawing limit is exceeded, the script is designed to automatically remove the oldest drawings to make space for new ones.
Therefore, to ensure optimal performance and visibility of the most recent and relevant pivots, it's highly recommended to only enable the "Show Pivot Crosses" option for one timeframe at a time. If you wish to view pivots for a different timeframe, simply disable the pivot crosses for the currently active timeframe and then enable them for your desired one. This approach prevents the rapid cycling and disappearance of pivot labels, providing a clearer and more stable visual experience.
In-Depth Explanation of the Logic
This script is built on two primary concepts: pivot points and Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergence. It systematically collects historical data on multiple timeframes, identifies pivots, and then compares them between two assets to find divergences.
Pivot Point Identification
A pivot is a turning point in the market. A pivot high is a candle that has a higher high than the candles to its immediate left and right. Conversely, a pivot low is a candle with a lower low than its neighbors.
How it Works in the Script:
The script tracks the highest high and lowest low for each period of the selected timeframe (e.g., for each 4-hour candle). When a new high-timeframe candle closes, it stores that high/low value and its bar index in an array. The checkForPivot() function then checks if a recently stored high or low qualifies as a pivot.
Key Inputs:
Left Strength (leftBars1): The number of candles to the left that must have a lower high (for a pivot high) or higher low (for a pivot low).
Right Strength (rightBars1): The number of candles to the right that must meet the same criteria.
For example, with Left Strength and Right Strength both set to 3, a pivot high is only confirmed when its high is greater than the highs of the 3 previous high-timeframe candles and the 3 subsequent high-timeframe candles. Increasing these values will identify more significant, longer-term pivots.
Smart Money Technique (SMT) Divergence
SMT Divergence is a concept popularized by The Inner Circle Trader (ICT). It occurs when two closely correlated assets fail to move in sync. For instance, if Asset A makes a higher high but Asset B fails to do so and instead makes a lower high, this creates a bearish SMT divergence. It suggests that the "smart money" may not be supporting the move in Asset A, signaling a potential reversal.
Bearish SMT: Main asset makes a higher high, while the correlated asset makes a lower high. This is a potential sell signal.
Bullish SMT: Main asset makes a lower low, while the correlated asset makes a higher low. This is a potential buy signal.
How it Works in the Script:
Data Request: For each timeframe, the script uses the request.security() function to fetch the high and low data for both the main chart symbol (syminfo.tickerid) and the chosen Comparison Asset.
Pivot Comparison: When a new pivot is confirmed on the main asset, the script checks if a corresponding pivot also formed on the comparison asset at the same time.
Divergence Check: It then compares the direction of the pivots. For a bearish SMT, it checks if the main asset's new pivot high is higher than its previous pivot high, while the comparison asset's new pivot high is lower than its previous one. The logic is reversed for bullish SMT.
Visualization: If a divergence is found, the script draws a red (bearish) or green (bullish) line connecting the two pivots on your chart and places an "SMT" label.
Early SMT Detection
This is a proactive feature designed to give you a heads-up. Waiting for a 4-hour or daily pivot to form can take a long time. The early detection system looks for SMT divergences on a much smaller, user-defined Detection timeframe (e.g., 15-minute).
How it Works in the Script:
Awaiting Setup: After a primary pivot (Pivot A) is formed on the main timeframe (e.g., a Daily pivot high), the script begins monitoring.
Intraday Monitoring: It then watches the Detection timeframe (e.g., 15-minute) for smaller intraday pivots.
Potential Divergence: It looks for an intraday pivot that forms a divergence against the primary Pivot A.
Watchline & Alert: When this "potential" divergence occurs, the script draws a dashed white line and triggers a "Potential SMT" alert. This isn't a confirmed SMT on the main timeframe yet, but it's a powerful early warning that one may be forming.
Drawing & Object Management
To keep the chart clean and prevent performance issues, the script manages its drawings (lines and labels) efficiently. It stores them in arrays and uses a drawing limit to automatically delete the oldest drawings as new ones are created, ensuring your TradingView remains responsive.
How to Use the Indicator
Configuration
Enable Timeframes: Use the checkboxes (Enable Timeframe 1, Enable Timeframe 2, etc.) to activate the timeframes you want to monitor. It's often best to start with one or two to keep the chart clean.
Select Timeframes: Choose the higher timeframes you want to analyze (e.g., 240 for 4-hour, D for Daily, W for Weekly).
Set Pivot Strength: The default of 3 for Left/Right strength is a good starting point. Increase it to find more significant market structure points or decrease it for more frequent, shorter-term pivots.
Configure SMT:
Check Enable SMT for the timeframes where you want to detect divergence.
Enter a Comparison Asset . This is crucial. Ensure the assets are correlated.
To use the early warning system, check Enable early SMT detection and select an appropriate Detection timeframe (e.g., 15 or 60 minutes for a Daily analysis).

[Top] LHAMA Consolidation DetectorIntroducing the Low-High Adaptive Moving Average (LHAMA 🦙), a powerful tool designed to help traders visually distinguish between trending and consolidating market phases. Unlike traditional moving averages that can produce false signals in choppy markets, the LHAMA is engineered to flatten out during periods of consolidation and become more responsive when a clear trend emerges.
This indicator's primary function is to act as a "Consolidation Detector." When the LHAMA line goes flat and adopts its "Flat Color," it serves as a clear visual cue that the market is range-bound. Conversely, when the line begins to slope and changes to its Bullish or Bearish color, it signals a potential breakout or the start of a new trend.
How It Works
The LHAMA is a type of adaptive moving average. Its adaptiveness is derived from a unique calculation that measures market "trendiness." It does this by tracking whether new highs or new lows are being made within a specified lookback period.
In a Trending Market: When the price consistently makes new highs or lows, the indicator's responsiveness increases, causing the LHAMA to track the price much more closely and responsively.
In a Consolidating Market: When the price is range-bound and fails to make new highs or lows, the responsiveness decreases significantly. This causes the LHAMA to flatten out and become less sensitive to minor price fluctuations, effectively filtering out market noise.
Key Features
Adaptive Calculation: The core engine of the indicator, which automatically adjusts its smoothing based on trend strength.
Slope-Based Coloring: The line's color dynamically changes based on its slope, providing an at-a-glance view of market conditions: bullish, bearish, or flat.
Multi-Line & Multi-Timeframe (MTF): You can enable up to six fully customizable LHAMA lines. Each line can be configured with its own length, colors, and can even be set to a different timeframe, allowing for comprehensive multi-timeframe analysis on a single chart.
Volatility Clouds: Each LHAMA can display an optional cloud around it. The cloud's width is based on your choice of either the Average True Range (ATR) or Standard Deviation (StdDev), offering a visual representation of volatility.
Volume Weighting: An option to incorporate volume into the adaptive calculation, making the LHAMA even more responsive during high-volume price movements.
How to Use
Identify Consolidation: The primary use case. A flat and consistently colored LHAMA line is a strong indication of a sideways or consolidating market. This can help traders avoid taking trend-following trades in choppy conditions.
Confirm Trends: When the LHAMA begins to slope upwards or downwards and changes to its trend color, it can be used to confirm the direction and strength of a new trend. The steeper the slope, the stronger the momentum, and more solid the directional color.
Dynamic Support & Resistance: Like other moving averages, the LHAMA can act as a dynamic level of support in an uptrend or resistance in a downtrend. The optional cloud can further define these zones.
Multi-MA Ribbon Strategy: By enabling multiple LHAMAs with different lengths (e.g., Fibonacci sequence like 14, 21, 34, 55), you can create a ribbon. The expansion of the ribbon indicates a strong trend, while its contraction signals a weakening trend or consolidation.
Settings Explained
Enable 🦙 Line: A simple checkbox to turn each of the six LHAMA lines on or off.
Length: The lookback period for the LHAMA calculation. Shorter lengths are more responsive, while longer lengths are smoother.
Timeframe: Set a specific timeframe for each LHAMA. Leave blank to use the chart's current timeframe.
Volume Weight: If checked, adds volume weighting to make the LHAMA more responsive to high-volume moves.
Colors (Bullish, Bearish, Flat): Customize the colors for each market state. To only see the line during consolidation, set the Bullish and Bearish colors to 100% transparency. To hide the line during consolidation, set the Flat color to 100% transparency.
Color Sensitivity: This is a crucial setting. Because price scales (tick sizes) vary widely between symbols, this setting allows you to adjust the sensitivity of the slope detection. A lower value requires a steeper slope to trigger a trend color, while a higher value is more sensitive.
Recommended settings are provided in the input tooltip as a starting point:
$5 Tick: 0.25 Sensitivity
$1 Tick: 0.75 Sensitivity
$0.25 Tick: 3 Sensitivity
$0.01 Tick: 50 Sensitivity
$0.005 Tick: 100 Sensitivity
Cloud Settings:
Show Cloud: Toggles the visibility of the volatility cloud around the LHAMA.
Width Based On: Choose between "ATR" or "StdDev" to calculate the cloud's width.
Cloud Length & Width: Set the lookback period and multiplier for the ATR/StdDev calculation to control the size of the cloud.

LANZ Strategy 5.0🔷 LANZ Strategy 5.0 — Intraday BUY Signals, Dynamic Lot Size per Account, Real-Time Dashboard and Smart Execution
LANZ Strategy 5.0 is a powerful intraday tool designed for traders who need a visual-first, data-backed BUY system, enhanced with risk-aware lot size calculation and a real-time performance dashboard. This indicator intelligently detects strong momentum setups and provides visual and statistical clarity throughout the session.
📌 This is an indicator, not a strategy — It does not place trades automatically but provides precise conditions, alerts, and visual guides to support execution.
🧠 Core Logic & Features
BUY Entry Conditions (Signal Engine)
A BUY signal is triggered when:
The current price is above the EMA200 (trend filter)
The last 3 candles are bullish (candle body close > open)
You are within the defined session window (NY time)
When all conditions are met and you haven’t reached the daily trade limit, a signal appears on the chart and an optional alert is triggered.
Operational Hours Filter (NY Time)
You define:
Start time (e.g., 01:15 NY)
End time (e.g., 16:00 NY)
The system only evaluates and executes signals within this period. If a BUY setup occurs outside the window, it’s ignored. The chart is also highlighted with a transparent teal background to visually show active trading hours.
Lot Size Panel with Per-Account Risk Management
Designed for traders managing multiple accounts or capital sources. You can enable up to 5 accounts, each with:
Its own capital
Its own risk percentage per trade
The system uses the defined SL in pips, plus the instrument’s pip value, to calculate the lot size per account. All values are shown in a dedicated panel at the bottom-right, automatically updating with each new trade.
The emojis (🐣🦊🦁🐲🐳) distinguish each account visually.
Trade Visualization with Customizable Lines
When a signal is triggered:
An Entry Point (EP) line is drawn at the candle’s close.
A Stop Loss (SL) line is placed X pips below the entry.
A Take Profit (TP) line is placed Y pips above the entry.
All three lines are fully customizable in style, color, and thickness. You define how many bars the lines should extend.
Outcome Tracking & Real-Time Dashboard
Each trade outcome is measured:
SL hit = –1.00%
TP hit = +3.00%
Manual close = calculated dynamically based on price at close time
Each result is labeled on the chart near its level, and stored.
The top-right dashboard updates in real time:
✅ Number of trades
📈 Cumulative % gain/loss of the day (color-coded)
Alerts You Can Trust:
You’ll get a Buy Alert when a valid signal is formed
You’ll get a Trade Executed Alert when the visual operation is plotted
You’ll get a SL/TP Hit Alert with price and result
You’ll get a Manual Close Alert if the configured time is reached and the trade is still active
⚙️ Step-by-Step Execution Flow
At every bar, the system checks:
Are we within the session time window?
Is price above EMA?
Are the last 3 candles bullish?
✅ If yes:
A BUY signal is plotted
Entry/SL/TP lines are drawn
Lot sizes are calculated and displayed
Trade is added to the daily count
🕐 At the configured Manual Close time (e.g., 16:00 NY):
If the trade is still open, it's closed
A label is added with the exact result in %
💡 Ideal For:
Intraday traders who operate within fixed time sessions
Traders managing multiple accounts or capital pools
Anyone who wants full visual clarity of every decision point
Traders who appreciate dynamic lot size calculation and clean execution tracking

Deviation %: Percentage difference between current price and predicted price. Gradient highlights extremes (±0.5% default threshold), signaling potential overextensions.
VWAP Deviation %: Percentage difference from Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP). Gradient indicates if price is above (green) or below (red) fair value (±0.5% default).
FRED UNRATE % Change: Percentage change in U.S. unemployment rate (via FRED data). Cell turns red for increases (economic weakness), green for decreases (strength), gray if zero or disabled.
Open Interest: Total open MESM2 futures contracts. Gradient scales from low (red) to high (green) up to a hardcoded 300,000 threshold, reflecting market participation.
COT Commercial Long/Short: Weekly Commitment of Traders data for commercial positions. Long cell green if longs > shorts (bullish institutional sentiment); Short cell red if shorts > longs (bearish); gray otherwise.
New Metrics Table Metrics
This table emphasizes technical momentum and volatility, with arrows for quick bias assessment:
QQE Bias: Smoothed RSI vs. trailing stop (default length 14, factor 4.236, smooth 5). Green for bullish (RSI > stop, ↑ arrow), red for bearish (RSI < stop, ↓ arrow), gray for neutral.
RSI: Relative Strength Index (default period 14). Gradient from oversold (red, <30 + threshold offset, ↓ arrow if ≤40) to overbought (green, >70 - offset, ↑ arrow if ≥60).
ATR Volatility: Score (1–20) based on Average True Range (default period 14, lookback 50). High scores (green, ↑ if ≥15) signal swings; low (red, ↓ if ≤5) indicate calm.
ADX Trend: Average Directional Index (default period 14). Gradient from weak (red, ↓ if ≤0.25×25 threshold) to strong trends (green, ↑ if ≥0.75×25).
Volume Momentum: Score (1–20) comparing current to historical volume (lookback 50). High (green, ↑ if ≥15) suggests pressure; low (red, ↓ if ≤5) implies weakness.
Frahm Volatility: Score (1–20) from true range over a window (default 24 hours, multiplier 9). Dynamic gradient (green/red/yellow); ↑ if ≥7.5, ↓ if ≤2.5.
Frahm Avg Candle (Ticks): Average candle size in ticks over the window. Blue gradient (or dynamic green/red/yellow); ↑ if ≥0.75 percentile, ↓ if ≤0.25.
Arrows trigger on metric-specific logic (e.g., RSI ≥60 for ↑), providing directional cues without strict color ties.
Customization Options
Adapt the indicator to your strategy:
ML Inputs: Lookback (10–5000 bars) and RSI period (2+) for prediction sensitivity—shorter for volatility, longer for trends.
Timeframes: Individual per metric (e.g., 1H for QQE Bias to match higher frames; blank for chart timeframe).
Thresholds: Adjust gradients and arrows (e.g., Deviation 0.1–5%, ADX 0–100, RSI overbought/oversold).
QQE Settings: Length, factor, and smooth for fine-tuned momentum.
Data Toggles: Enable/disable FRED, Open Interest, COT for focus (e.g., disable macro for pure intraday).
Frahm Options: Window hours (1+), scale multiplier (1–10), dynamic colors for avg candle.
Plot/Table: Line color, positions, gradients, and visibility.
Ideal Use Case
Perfect for MESM2 scalpers and trend traders. Use the Main Table for entry confirmation via predicted deviations and institutional positioning. Leverage the New Metrics Table arrows for short-term signals—enter bullish on green consensus (all ↑), avoid chop on low volatility. Set alerts to catch shifts without constant monitoring.
Why It's Valuable
Info Table V1 consolidates diverse metrics into actionable visuals, answering critical questions: Is price mispriced? Is momentum aligning? Is volatility manageable? With real-time updates, consensus highlights, and extensive customization, it enhances precision in fast markets, reducing guesswork for confident trades.
Note: Optimized for futures; some metrics (OI, COT) unavailable on non-futures symbols. Test on demo accounts. No financial advice—use at your own risk.
The provided script reuses open-source elements from TradingView's Color Library and LuxAlgo's QQE Weighted Oscillator, as noted in the script comments and description. Credits are appropriately given in both the description and code comments, satisfying the requirement for attribution.
Regarding significant improvements and proportion:
The QQE logic comprises approximately 15 lines of code in a script exceeding 400 lines, representing a small proportion (<5%).
Adaptations include integration with multi-timeframe support via request.security, user-customizable inputs for length, factor, and smooth, and application within a broader table-based indicator for momentum bias display (with color gradients, arrows, and alerts). This extends the original QQE beyond standalone oscillator use, incorporating it as one of seven metrics in the New Metrics Table for confluence analysis (e.g., consensus highlighting when all metrics align). These are functional enhancements, not mere stylistic or variable changes.
The Color Library usage is via official import (import TradingView/Color/1 as Color), leveraging built-in gradient functions without copying code, and applied to enhance visual interpretation across multiple metrics.
The script complies with the rules: reused code is minimal, significantly improved through integration and expansion, and properly credited. It qualifies for open-source publication under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, as stated.
Multi-Equity Performance TableThis indicator tracks 5 equities/stocks/crytpo across multiple timeframes: 24h, 1W, 1M, 3M, 6M, 1Y. You can use AI to modify the code to track more equities but then you will need to use less timeframes. I used Claude.ai to configure this code.
Multi Ranges Volume Distribution [LuxAlgo]The Multi Ranges Volume Distribution tool allows traders to see the volume distribution by price for three different timeframes simultaneously. Each distribution can report the total amount of accumulated volume or the accumulated buy/sell volume separately.
Levels are displayed at the top and bottom of each timeframe's range, as well as the POC or level with the most volume.
🔶 USAGE
By default, the tool displays daily, weekly, and monthly volume distributions, highlighting the accumulated volume within each row.
Each distribution shows the volume at each price, as well as three lines: the top and bottom prices, and the price at which the most volume was traded.
The reported accumulated volume can be useful for highlighting which price areas are of the most interest to traders, with the specific timeframe specifying whether this interest is long-term or short-term.
🔹 Timeframes & Rows
Traders can adjust the timeframe and the number of rows for each volume distribution.
This is useful for multi-timeframe analysis of volume at the same price levels, or for obtaining detailed data within the same timeframe.
The chart above shows three volume distributions with the same monthly timeframe but a different number of rows; each is more detailed than the previous one.
🔹 Total vs Buy & Sell Volume
Traders can choose to display either the total volume or the buy and sell volumes.
As we can see on the above chart, the background of each row uses a gradient that is a function of the delta between the buy and sell volumes.
This is useful to determine which areas attract buyers and sellers.
🔶 SETTINGS
Volume Display: Select between total volume and buy and sell volume.
Distance between each box: Adjust the spacing of the volume distributions.
Period A: Select a timeframe and the number of rows.
Period B: Select a timeframe and the number of rows.
Period C: Select a timeframe and the number of rows.

VWAP with Prev. Session BandsVWAP with Prev. Session Bands is an advanced indicator based on TradingView’s original VWAP. It adds configurable standard deviation or percentage-based bands, both for the current and previous session. You can anchor the VWAP to various timeframes or events (like Sessions, Weeks, Months, Earnings, etc.) and selectively show up to three bands.
The unique feature of this script is the ability to display the VWAP and bands from the previous session, helping traders visualize mean reversion levels or historical volatility ranges.
Built on top of the official TradingView VWAP implementation, this version provides enhanced flexibility and visual clarity for intraday and swing traders alike.
Reversal IndicatorWhat does this indicator do?
This indicator is designed to help traders spot potential reversal points in the market by combining multiple conditions:
✅ Multi-Timeframe RSI – Checks RSI on a lower timeframe (like 5m) to see if the market is oversold or overbought.
✅ Higher Timeframe SMA Filter – Uses a higher timeframe SMA (like 1h) as a trend filter, so signals only trigger in the direction of the bigger trend.
✅ Candle Pattern Confirmation – Looks for bullish or bearish engulfing candles to confirm price exhaustion before signaling a reversal.
When all these conditions align, the indicator plots a triangle under/above the candle to highlight a possible reversal.
Why is this useful?
Many traders struggle with false RSI signals or candle patterns that fail because they don’t respect the larger trend.
This indicator filters out weak setups by requiring alignment between:
A lower timeframe RSI oversold/overbought condition,
A higher timeframe trend filter (SMA),
And a strong candle reversal pattern.
This multi-layer approach helps avoid chasing every RSI dip and focuses only on high-probability reversal zones.
How does it work?
Bullish reversal signal → appears when RSI on the lower TF is oversold, price is still above the higher TF SMA (trend still intact), AND a bullish engulfing candle forms.
Bearish reversal signal → appears when RSI on the lower TF is overbought, price is below the higher TF SMA, AND a bearish engulfing candle forms.
When all conditions match, the indicator plots a triangle under the candle for bullish signals and above the candle for bearish signals.
How to use it?
Choose your timeframes:
A timeframe for trend filtering (e.g. 1h).
A timeframe for RSI (e.g. 4h).
NOTICE: THE RSI TIMEFRAME SHOULD BE GREATER THEN THE TIMEFRAME FOR THE SMA
Otherwise it will not generate that much signals.
Watch for signals ONLY in the direction of the higher trend.
Use the signals as potential reversal points, not as guaranteed entries. Combine with your own confluence.
Optionally set alerts for bullish or bearish reversal conditions so you never miss a setup.
Customization
✅ Choose your RSI length & overbought/oversold levels.
✅ Select which timeframes you want for SMA & RSI.
✅ Toggle the higher TF SMA display on/off.
✅ Adjust signal appearance (triangles).
Important Notes
⚠️ This is not a standalone trading system. It’s a tool to help spot possible reversal areas. Always confirm with price action, support/resistance, or your own strategy

Supply/Demand Market Structure (SMA Multi-Timeframe)Supply/Demand Based Market Structure
Structure + Order Blocks from Synthetic SMA Candles
Overview:
The SMA Supply/Demand Market Structure indicator combines market structure analysis with supply/demand logic, powered by SMA-based synthetic candles . Instead of relying on raw candle data, this tool generates smoothed higher-timeframe candles using simple moving averages to identify more stable zones and cleaner structure shifts.
It detects bullish and bearish breaks of structure (BoS) , highlights swing points like HH, HL, LH, LL , and plots institutional-style supply and demand zones formed from aggressive rallies or drops. The result is a precise and noise-filtered view of market intent, perfect for trend-following or smart money strategies.
How It Works:
- Synthetic candles are created using SMA of OHLC values on your selected timeframe (HTF).
- A bullish break occurs when price closes above the high of the last bearish synthetic candle.
- A bearish break occurs when price closes below the low of the last bullish synthetic candle.
- Upon break confirmation:
- A demand zone is drawn using the last bearish candle.
- A supply zone is drawn using the last bullish candle.
- Each zone is extended forward for a user-defined number of bars and optionally deleted upon mitigation.
- Zigzag-based internal structure connects valid swing points and classifies them as HH, HL, LH, LL , including Liquidity Sweeps (LS) .
- BoS levels are highlighted with lines that automatically reset when new structure forms.
Key Features:
- Synthetic SMA Candles : Smooth and reliable structure from average-based HTF candles
- Break Modes : Choose between raw HTF closes or SMA closes for break logic
- Custom Timeframe Selection : Analyze structure across any HTF you choose
- Dynamic Supply/Demand Zones : Auto-plot boxes from valid rallies/drops
- Mitigation Detection : Optionally fade or delete zones when price trades through
- Zigzag Structure Mapping : Automatically connect structural highs/lows
- BoS Detection : Real-time breakout of swing points with visual confirmation
- Smart Labels : Marks HH, HL, LH, LL, and LS directly on the chart
- Multi-timeframe Alert System : Notify for all structural changes, BoS, and new zones
How to Use:
- Set your desired HTF and SMA Length for synthetic candle smoothing.
- Use SMA=1 for raw candles
- Select a Break Mode :
- Raw Close : Uses standard HTF close values
- SMA Close : Uses smoothed closes from SMA
- Watch for bullish or bearish breaks — zones are plotted when price confirms breakout structure.
- Use demand zones as long entry areas and supply zones as short setups on retests.
- Rely on internal shifts and zigzag swings to monitor structure continuity.
- Enable alerts for swing formations, BoS, and liquidity sweeps to trade hands-free.
Recommended Strategies:
- Smart Money & ICT Models : Use synthetic demand/supply + BoS for mitigation or continuation plays
- Swing Trading : Align with higher timeframe structure and use zones for entry triggers
- Trend Trading : Confirm structure alignment and wait for pullbacks into zones
- Reversal Entries : Trade structure breaks when zones fail and a BoS confirms the shift
Customization Options:
- Timeframe input for custom HTF control
- SMA Length to adjust candle smoothing
- Zone Style : Control zone color, transparency, and duration
- Structure Display : Toggle swing labels and zigzag visuals
- Alert Mode : Choose between LTF, MTF, or HTF alerts
Summary:
SMA Supply/Demand Market Structure provides a clean, flexible view of price structure and institutional intent by fusing market structure with SMA-based synthetic candles. It’s ideal for anyone seeking reduced noise, visually guided entries, and rule-based trading based on structural shifts and real-time demand/supply dynamics.
Rally/Drop Market Structure (Multi-Timeframe)Rally/Drop Market Structure
Supply and Demand Zones from Bullish/Bearish Breaks
Overview:
The Rally/Drop Market Structure indicator is a powerful price action tool that identifies key structural turning points in the market by detecting bullish and bearish breaks . After each confirmed break, it plots either a demand zone (following a bullish break or rally) or a supply zone (following a bearish break or drop). These zones represent institutional footprints — areas where price is likely to react due to imbalance or unfilled orders.
The indicator is based on synthetic higher timeframe (HTF) candles to provide a more stable and smoothed structural map, improving clarity and signal quality over raw candles.
How It Works:
- A bullish break is defined when price makes a higher high and a higher low (or closes above the previous high depending on your selected mode).
- A bearish break is defined when price makes a lower high and a lower low (or closes below the previous low).
- After a bullish break, the indicator plots a demand zone based on the low and high of the most recent bearish candle — representing where demand stepped in.
- After a bearish break, the indicator plots a supply zone from the most recent bullish candle — indicating where supply took control.
- Optional mitigation logic marks zones as mitigated (or deletes them) once price trades into the opposing side.
- Internal shift detection highlights swing highs and lows , labels structural points (HH, HL, LH, LL), and identifies potential liquidity sweeps .
Features:
- Dynamic plotting of rally-based demand zones and drop-based supply zones
- Toggle to use Highs/Lows or Close-based breaks for structure
- Support for LTF, MTF, and HTF analysis (with selectable timeframe)
- Zone mitigation logic with optional automatic cleanup
- Labeling of key swing points: HH , HL , LH , LL , and LS (Liquidity Sweep)
- Zigzag visualization for structure flow
- Alert-ready for internal shifts, BoS, and zone creation
- Separate styling options for BoS lines, internal shift shapes, and zone colors
How to Use:
- Set your desired HTF candle source (e.g., 1H or 4H) depending on your trading style.
- Use Highs/Lows mode for pure price action structure or Close mode for more conservative signals.
- Observe when a bullish break occurs — a demand zone will form where price previously dropped before rallying. Look for long opportunities if price revisits this zone.
- After a bearish break , a supply zone forms where the rally failed — use this to scout short entries on retests.
- Use BoS lines to confirm structure shifts and validate entry triggers or trend direction.
- Monitor mitigated zones for reduced reliability or avoid them completely by enabling automatic deletion.
- Use alerts to stay notified about key changes without watching the chart constantly.
Recommended Strategies:
- Smart money or ICT-style trading : identify institutional footprints and mitigation setups
- Reversal trading : catch price rejecting off unmitigated zones after structure break
- Trend continuation : enter in the direction of internal structure after pullbacks into zones
- Liquidity sweep confirmation : filter out false breaks using HH/LL with LS detection
Tips:
- Combine this indicator with a higher timeframe bias tool (e.g., moving average, higher timeframe market structure).
- For scalping, use tighter HTFs and reduce the zone duration.
- For swing trading, use larger HTFs (1H, 4H, Daily) and increase zone persistence.
Summary:
The Rally/Drop Market Structure indicator gives you an actionable framework for understanding price structure, market intent, and supply/demand imbalances. Whether you're looking for precision entries, trend confirmation, or smart money concepts, this tool helps simplify complex price behavior into clean, usable structure and zones.

Risk Distribution HistogramStatistical risk visualization and analysis tool for any ticker 📊
The Risk Distribution Histogram visualizes the statistical distribution of different risk metrics for any financial instrument. It converts risk data into histograms with quartile-based color coding, so that traders can understand their risk, tail-risks, exposure patterns and make data-driven decisions based on empirical evidence rather than assumptions.
The indicator supports multiple risk calculation methods, each designed for different aspects of market analysis, from general volatility assessment to tail risk analysis.
Risk Measurement Methods
Standard Deviation
Captures raw daily price volatility by measuring the dispersion of price movements. Ideal for understanding overall market conditions and timing volatility-based strategies.
Use case: Options trading and volatility analysis.
Average True Range (ATR)
Measures true range as a percentage of price, accounting for gaps and limit moves. Valuable for position sizing across different price levels.
Use case: Position sizing and stop-loss placement.
The chart above illustrates how ATR statistical distribution can be used by looking at the ATR % of price distribution. For example, 90% of the movements are below 5%.
Downside Deviation
Only considers negative price movements, making it ideal for checking downside risk and capital protection rather than capturing upside volatility.
Use case: Downside protection strategies and stop losses.
Drawdown Analysis
Tracks peak-to-trough declines, providing insight into maximum loss potential during different market conditions.
Use case: Risk management and capital preservation.
The chart above illustrates tale risk for the asset (TQQQ), showing that it is possible to have drawdowns higher than 20%.
Entropy-Based Risk (EVaR)
Uses information theory to quantify market uncertainty. Higher entropy values indicate more unpredictable price action, valuable for detecting regime changes.
Use case: Advanced risk modeling and tail-risk.
VIX Histogram
Incorporates the market's fear index directly into analysis, showing how current volatility expectations compare to historical patterns. The CAPITALCOM:VIX histogram is independent from the ticker on the chart.
Use case: Volatility trading and market timing.
Visual Features
The histogram uses quartile-based color coding that immediately shows where current risk levels stand relative to historical patterns:
Green (Q1): Low Risk (0-25th percentile)
Yellow (Q2): Medium-Low Risk (25-50th percentile)
Orange (Q3): Medium-High Risk (50-75th percentile)
Red (Q4): High Risk (75-100th percentile)
The data table provides detailed statistics, including:
Count Distribution: Historical observations in each bin
PMF: Percentage probability for each risk level
CDF: Cumulative probability up to each level
Current Risk Marker: Shows your current position in the distribution
Trading Applications
When current risk falls into upper quartiles (Q3 or Q4), it signals conditions are riskier than 50-75% of historical observations. This guides position sizing and portfolio adjustments.
Key applications:
Position sizing based on empirical risk distributions
Monitoring risk regime changes over time
Comparing risk patterns across timeframes
Risk distribution analysis improves trade timing by identifying when market conditions favor specific strategies.
Enter positions during low-risk periods (Q1)
Reduce exposure in high-risk periods (Q4)
Use percentile rankings for dynamic stop-loss placement
Time volatility strategies using distribution patterns
Detect regime shifts through distribution changes
Compare current conditions to historical benchmarks
Identify outlier events in tail regions
Validate quantitative models with empirical data
Configuration Options
Data Collection
Lookback Period: Control amount of historical data analyzed
Date Range Filtering: Focus on specific market periods
Sample Size Validation: Automatic reliability warnings
Histogram Customization
Bin Count: 10-50 bins for different detail levels
Auto/Manual Bin Width: Optimize for your data range
Visual Preferences: Custom colors and font sizes
Implementation Guide
Start with Standard Deviation on daily charts for the most intuitive introduction to distribution-based risk analysis.
Method Selection: Begin with Standard Deviation
Setup: Use daily charts with 20-30 bins
Interpretation: Focus on quartile transitions as signals
Monitoring: Track distribution changes for regime detection
The tool provides comprehensive statistics including mean, standard deviation, quartiles, and current position metrics like Z-score and percentile ranking.
