### 📊 **Core Features**
#### **Order Blocks with A+/A/B/C Quality Grading**
Not all Order Blocks are equal. Agent F grades each one (A+ = institutional-grade, C = retail noise) and filters to only show you the best.
- Detects both standard OBs and **Breaker Blocks** (flipped OBs with 75% reversal rate)
- **Propulsion Blocks** (>2 ATR displacement = strong conviction)
- **Rejection Blocks** (tested multiple times = proven levels)
- Shows formation age, volume percentile, quality score
#### **Enhanced Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)**
Goes beyond basic gap detection with intelligent fill tracking:
- **Partial fill states** (0%, 50%, 75%, 100%)
- **CE (Consequent Encroachment) 50% levels** (75% fill rate sweet spot)
- **IFVG detection** (Inverted FVGs = 80% reversal probability)
- **FPFVG** (First Presented FVG after BOS = highest quality)
#### **Liquidity Sweep Detection**
Identifies where stop hunts happen and when to fade them:
- Equal Highs/Lows (SSL/BSL pools)
- Sweep timing and alerts
- **Liquidity Voids** (large gaps >0.5 ATR = price magnets)
- Manipulation pattern recognition
#### **Market Structure Analysis**
Real-time BOS (Break of Structure) and CHoCH (Change of Character) detection with:
- Trend classification (BULL/BEAR/NEUTRAL)
- Strength rating (★★★ strong, ★ weak)
- Swing high/low tracking
- Structure invalidation warnings
#### **Premium/Discount Zones**
Visual guidance on where to buy (cheap) and sell (expensive):
- Background shading (green = discount, red = premium)
- Equilibrium (50%) line
- OTE (Optimal Trade Entry) Fib levels (62-79%)
- Helps you avoid buying tops and selling bottoms

Multitimeframe
HTF Candles on Lower Timeframes (Manual OHLC)Hi everyone, this indicator is designed to plot higher timeframes candles on the chart. Here are the details:
The data is built directly from OHLC values at specific time intervals, instead of using request.security.
It supports 1H / 2H / 4H / 8H / 1D higher timeframes, and can be viewed on lower timeframes such as 5m / 10m / 15m / 30m.
The main idea behind this chart is to serve as a foundation for building other indicators that need to operate on higher timeframes while still being visualized on lower timeframes.

Ocean Master [JOAT]Ocean Master QE - Advanced Oceanic Market Analysis with Quantum Flow Dynamics
Overview
Ocean Master QE is an open-source overlay indicator that combines multiple analytical techniques into a unified market analysis framework. It uses ATR-based dynamic channels, volume-weighted order flow analysis, multi-timeframe correlation (quantum entanglement concept), and harmonic oscillator calculations to provide traders with a comprehensive view of market conditions.
What This Indicator Does
The indicator calculates and displays several key components:
Dynamic Price Channels - ATR-adjusted upper, middle, and lower channels that adapt to current volatility conditions
Order Flow Analysis - Separates buying and selling volume pressure to calculate a directional delta
Smart Money Index - Volume-weighted order flow metric that highlights potential institutional activity
Harmonic Oscillator - Weighted combination of 10 Fibonacci-period EMAs (5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377) to identify trend direction
Multi-Timeframe Correlation - Measures price correlation across 1H, 4H, and Daily timeframes
Wave Function Analysis - Momentum-based state detection that identifies when price action becomes decisive
How It Works
The core channel calculation uses ATR with a configurable quantum sensitivity factor:
float atr = ta.atr(i_atrLength)
float quantumFactor = 1.0 + (i_quantumSensitivity * 0.1)
float quantumATR = atr * quantumFactor
upperChannel := ta.highest(high, i_length) - (quantumATR * 0.5)
lowerChannel := ta.lowest(low, i_length) + (quantumATR * 0.5)
midChannel := (upperChannel + lowerChannel) * 0.5
Order flow is calculated by separating volume into buy and sell components based on candle direction:
The harmonic oscillator weights shorter EMAs more heavily using inverse weighting (1/1, 1/2, 1/3... 1/10), creating a responsive yet smooth trend indicator.
Signal Generation
Confluence signals require multiple conditions to align:
Bullish: Harmonic oscillator crosses above zero + positive Smart Money Index + positive Order Flow Delta
Bearish: Harmonic oscillator crosses below zero + negative Smart Money Index + negative Order Flow Delta
Dashboard Panel (Top-Right)
Bias - Current market direction based on price vs mid-channel
Entanglement - Multi-timeframe correlation score (0-100%)
Wave State - COLLAPSED (decisive) or SUPERPOSITION (uncertain)
Volume - Current volume relative to 20-period average
Volatility - ATR as percentage of price
Smart Money - Volume-weighted order flow reading
Visual Elements
Ocean Depth Layers - Gradient fills between channel levels representing different price zones
Channel Lines - Upper (surface), middle, and lower (seabed) dynamic levels
Divergence Markers - Triangle shapes when harmonic oscillator crosses zero
Confluence Labels - BULL/BEAR labels when multiple factors align
Suggested Use Cases
Identify trend direction using the harmonic oscillator and channel position
Monitor order flow for potential institutional activity
Use multi-timeframe correlation to confirm trade direction across timeframes
Watch for confluence signals where multiple factors align
Input Parameters
Length (default: 14) - Base period for channel and indicator calculations
ATR Length (default: 14) - Period for ATR calculation
Quantum Depth (default: 3) - Complexity factor for calculations
Quantum Sensitivity (default: 1.5) - Channel width multiplier
Timeframe Recommendations
Works on all timeframes. Higher timeframes (4H, Daily) provide smoother signals; lower timeframes require faster reaction times and may produce more noise.
Limitations
Multi-timeframe requests add processing overhead
Order flow estimation is based on candle direction, not actual order book data
Correlation calculations require sufficient historical data

SSMT [jam]🔷 Quarterly Theory SSMT based off of Daye's Quarterly Theory
This indicator detects Sequential SMTs between the charted symbols and up to two other correlated symbols using a hierarchical, time-based cycle system.
❓ What It Does
The script divides time into five nested cycles:
Nano: ~5.625 min (double to ~11.25 min) – best on seconds charts
Micro: ~22.5 min (double to ~45 min) – best on 1-minute charts
90m: 90 min (double to 180 min) – best on 5-minute charts
Daily Session: 6-hour segments (double to 12-hour) – best on 15-minute charts
Weekly: Day-based phases (Q1–Q5; doublable) – best on 60-minute charts
Within each cycle, it tracks price extremes for all selected symbols. When a cycle ends, it checks if the main index and comparison indices moved in opposite directions from their prior-cycle extremes. Matching opposite moves trigger a divergence signal.
Divergences appear as coloured extending lines connecting the prior and current extremes, with labels showing which symbols diverged.
⭐ Unique Aspects
Covers five fractal levels from ultra-short nano to weekly
Allows higher-timeframe divergences on lower charts (e.g., daily/weekly signals visible on 1m)
Auto-adjusts so the charted symbol is always the primary reference
Optional vertical dividers and fixed Q-labels for clear cycle timing
🎀 Extensive Customization
Global controls: Toggle all divergences, dividers, cycle labels; universal label background, text colour, size, position (start/middle/end of line), and style (auto/up/down)
Per-cycle settings (independent for Nano, Micro, 90m, Daily, Weekly):
Show/hide the cycle's divergences
Doubling option
Separate bullish and bearish line colours
Line width and style (solid/dashed/dotted)
Divider colour, width, and style
Toggle Q-labels
Option to display this cycle's signals on lower timeframes
🔨 How to Use
I personally apply it to NQ, ES, and YM (CFDs), but you can choose whichever symbols you trade/prefer. Divergence lines form at cycle boundaries:
Bullish divergence (typically lower low on main index but higher on others) → potential support/rotation higher
Bearish divergence (typically higher high on main but lower on others) → potential resistance/rotation lower
Stronger signals occur when multiple cycle levels align. Always combine with your own analysis and risk management.
A highly configurable tool for spotting intermarket relative strength/weakness across multiple time scales.
Trend Strength Matrix [JOAT]Trend Strength Matrix — Multi-Timeframe Confluence Analysis System
This indicator addresses a specific analytical challenge: how to efficiently compare multiple technical measurements across different timeframes while accounting for their varying scales and interpretations. Rather than managing separate indicator windows with different scales, this tool normalizes four distinct analytical approaches to a common -1 to +1 scale and presents them in a unified matrix format.
Why This Combination Adds Value
The core problem this indicator solves is analytical fragmentation. Traders often use multiple indicators but struggle with:
1. **Scale Inconsistency**: RSI ranges 0-100, MACD has no fixed range, ADX ranges 0-100 but measures strength not direction
2. **Timeframe Coordination**: Checking multiple timeframes requires switching between charts or cramming multiple indicators
3. **Cognitive Load**: Processing different indicator types simultaneously creates mental overhead
4. **Confluence Assessment**: Determining when multiple approaches agree requires manual comparison
This indicator specifically addresses these issues by creating a standardized analytical framework where different measurement approaches can be directly compared both within and across timeframes.
Originality and Technical Innovation
While the individual components (RSI, MACD, ADX, Moving Average) are standard, the originality lies in:
1. **Unified Normalization System**: Each component is mathematically transformed to a -1 to +1 scale using component-specific normalization that preserves the indicator's core characteristics
2. **Multi-Timeframe Weighting Algorithm**: Higher timeframes receive proportionally more weight (40% current, 25% next, 20% third, 15% fourth) based on the principle that longer timeframes provide more significant context
3. **Real-Time Confluence Scoring**: The composite calculation provides an instant assessment of how much the different analytical approaches agree
4. **Adaptive Visual Encoding**: The heatmap format allows immediate pattern recognition of agreement/disagreement across both indicators and timeframes
How the Components Work Together
Each component measures a different aspect of market behavior, and their combination provides a more complete analytical picture:
**Momentum Component (RSI-based)**: Measures the velocity of price changes by comparing average gains to losses
**Trend Component (MACD-based)**: Measures the relationship between fast and slow moving averages, indicating trend acceleration/deceleration
**Strength Component (ADX-based)**: Measures trend strength regardless of direction, then applies directional bias
**Position Component (MA-based)**: Measures price position relative to a reference average
The mathematical relationship between these components creates a comprehensive view:
- When all four agree (similar colors), it suggests multiple analytical approaches are aligned
- When they disagree (mixed colors), it highlights analytical uncertainty or transition periods
- The composite score quantifies the degree of agreement numerically
Detailed Component Analysis
**1. Momentum Oscillator Component**
This component transforms RSI into a centered oscillator by subtracting 50 and dividing by 50, creating a -1 to +1 range where 0 represents equilibrium between buying and selling pressure.
// Momentum calculation normalized to -1 to +1 scale
float rsi = ta.rsi(close, rsiLength)
float rsiScore = (rsi - 50) / 50
// Result: 0 at equilibrium, +1 at extreme overbought, -1 at extreme oversold
**2. Moving Average Convergence Component**
MACD is normalized by its own volatility (standard deviation) to create a bounded oscillator. This prevents the unbounded nature of MACD from dominating the composite calculation.
// MACD normalized by its historical volatility
= ta.macd(close, macdFast, macdSlow, macdSignal)
float macdStdev = ta.stdev(macdLine, 100)
float macdScore = macdStdev != 0 ? math.max(-1, math.min(1, macdLine / (macdStdev * 2))) : 0
**3. Directional Movement Component**
This combines ADX (strength) with directional movement (+DI vs -DI) to create a directional strength measurement. ADX alone shows strength but not direction; this component adds directional context.
// ADX-based directional strength
= calcADX(adxLength)
float adxStrength = math.min(adx / 50, 1) // Normalize ADX to 0-1
float adxDirection = plusDI > minusDI ? 1 : -1 // Direction bias
float adxScore = adxStrength * adxDirection // Combine strength and direction
**4. Price Position Component**
This measures price deviation from a moving average, weighted by the magnitude of deviation to distinguish between minor and significant displacements.
// Price position relative to moving average
float ma = ta.sma(close, maLength)
float maDirection = close > ma ? 1 : -1
float maDeviation = math.abs(close - ma) / ma * 10 // Percentage deviation scaled
float maScore = math.max(-1, math.min(1, maDirection * math.min(maDeviation, 1)))
Multi-Timeframe Integration Logic
The multi-timeframe system uses a weighted average that gives more influence to higher timeframes:
// Timeframe weighting system
float currentTF = composite * 0.40 // Current timeframe: 40%
float higherTF1 = composite_tf2 * 0.25 // Next higher: 25%
float higherTF2 = composite_tf3 * 0.20 // Third higher: 20%
float higherTF3 = composite_tf4 * 0.15 // Fourth higher: 15%
float multiTFComposite = currentTF + higherTF1 + higherTF2 + higherTF3
This weighting reflects the principle that higher timeframes provide more significant context for market direction, while lower timeframes provide timing precision.

Alerts
Composite crossed above/below threshold values
Strong readings (above 50% or below -50%)
Important Limitations and Realistic Expectations
This indicator displays current analytical conditions—it does not predict future price movements
Agreement between components indicates current analytical alignment, not future price direction
All four components are based on historical price data and inherently lag price action
Market conditions can change rapidly, making current readings irrelevant
Different parameter settings will produce different readings and interpretations
No combination of technical indicators can reliably predict future market behavior
Strong readings in one direction do not guarantee continued movement in that direction
The composite score reflects mathematical relationships, not market fundamentals or sentiment
This tool should be used as one input among many in a comprehensive analytical approach
Appropriate Use Cases
This indicator is designed for:
- Analytical organization and efficiency
- Multi-timeframe confluence assessment
- Pattern recognition in indicator relationships
- Educational study of how different analytical approaches relate
- Supplementary analysis alongside other methods
This indicator is NOT designed for:
- Standalone trading signals
- Guaranteed profit generation
- Market timing precision
- Replacement of fundamental analysis
- Automated trading systems

Mag 7 EMA Trend MonitorDashboard Layout:
1. Symbol Column: The Mag 7 tickers.
2. Trend Column: Visual Bull/Bear status.
3. Strength Column: Percentage distance from the mean (EMA 21).
4. Aggregate Row: Summary of market breadth and average sector pull/push.
How to Interpret the Trend Strength:
• Positive %: The stock is trading above its 21 EMA. A very high number (e.g., $+15\%$) might suggest the stock is "overbought" or overextended.
• Negative %: The stock is trading below its 21 EMA. A very low number (e.g., $-10\%$) might suggest it is "oversold."
• Avg Strength: This gives you a bird's-eye view of the sector. If the aggregate is "5 Up / 2 Down" but the Avg Strength is only $+0.5\%$, the trend is weak and might be exhausting.
"Pro-tips" for tool:
• Multi-Timeframe Correlation: Try setting the Dashboard Timeframe to "D" (Daily) while trading on a "5m" or "15m" chart. This allows you to see if your intraday trade is aligned with the "Big Money" trend of the week.
• The 4/7 Rule: Watch for that Aggregate row to hit 4 out of 7. In the Mag 7, since these stocks carry so much weight in the SPY and QQQ, a shift to a majority (4+) often precedes a move in the overall market indices.
TechDash+Deliv :MultiCondition Dashboard for Swing,Position TechDash+Deliv: Multi‑Condition Dashboard for Swing/Position Trading
This dashboard is designed for swing and position trading on Indian stocks (NSE/BSE), combining multi‑timeframe trend, momentum, volume, and sector context into a single visual panel. It helps filter high‑probability setups by requiring alignment across multiple factors, reducing false signals in choppy or low‑volume markets.
► Strategy Logic (Conceptual Flow)
The script evaluates 6 key conditions:
1. Short‑term trend: Price above EMA 21
2. Medium‑term trend: Price above EMA 50
3. Long‑term trend: Price above EMA 200
4. Momentum: RSI in the 45–65 range (avoiding overbought/oversold extremes)
5. Participation: Volume > 1.25× its 5‑bar average
6. Trend strength: Supertrend in bullish mode
A BUY signal is generated only when **4 or more of these conditions are satisfied** (this threshold is configurable). This multi‑condition approach ensures that entries are taken only when trend, momentum, and volume align, rather than on a single indicator.
► Dashboard Features
The on‑chart panel shows:
- Technical Signals:
EMA 21 / 50 / 200 status, RSI 45–65, Volume > 1.25× avg, Supertrend direction.
- Delivery Volume Proxy:
- Delivery Qty (K) and Avg Delivery Qty (K)
- Delivery Qty × Avg (a proxy for delivery strength)
- Highlighted in light green when Delivery Qty > 2× Avg — indicating unusually strong delivery interest, often seen during accumulation.
- Sector & Market Context:
- Sector, Industry
- Sector Index % change (e.g., NIFTY, BANKNIFTY, etc.) to gauge relative strength.
► How to Use
- Best timeframes: Daily or higher (weekly) for swing/position trading.
- Best assets: Liquid NSE/BSE stocks with consistent delivery activity.
- Entry: Use the BUY arrow as a trigger, but always confirm with:
- Price action (support / breakout / candlestick pattern)
- Sector strength (prefer stocks in outperforming sectors)
- Proper risk management (stop‑loss below recent swing low, position sizing as per your risk profile).
- Exit: Combine with trailing stop, target levels, or trend reversal signals.
► Why This Combination?
This is not just a simple mashup of indicators; it is specifically tuned for Indian delivery/swing trading:
- Multi‑timeframe EMA filter (21/50/200) ensures alignment across short, medium, and long term.
- RSI 45–65 avoids chasing overbought stocks or catching falling knives.
- Volume + delivery proxy helps focus on stocks with strong participation and genuine delivery interest.
- Supertrend adds trend‑strength confirmation.
- Sector context prevents buying weak stocks in weak sectors.
The dashboard format allows quick visual scanning of all conditions, making it easier to spot high‑probability setups without cluttering the chart.
► Important Notes
- Delivery Qty is a proxy based on volume (since TradingView does not provide real delivery data).
- You can later replace this proxy with real delivery data (e.g., from screener or broker) if available.
- This is a decision‑support dashboard, not a fully automated trading bot. Always use price action, sector strength, and proper risk management.
5x Multi-Timeframe Moving AveragesSince I use EMA lines a lot and I typically want them based on one timeframe - say: D1 - while looking into higher or lower timeframes, I made this simple indicator:
- Up to 5 moving averages (SMA, EMA, ...)
- on chart timeframe or any defined timeframe (W, D, H4, H1, 30min, ...)
- each with user defined length / number of periods of calculation
- each in user defined line style, width and color.
Straight forward but very handy. Enjoy.

RF iFVG MTF V1Inverse Fair Value Gaps (iFVGs) are a powerful confluence because they mark areas where the market first left a clear imbalance (an FVG), then later returned and proved participation by closing fully through that zone. In other words, they often highlight prices where liquidity was exchanged and orderflow “flipped,” making them useful as potential reaction areas for:
The RF iFVG MTF indicator Once confirmed, draws the iFVG zone and is projected forward as an actionable area of interest and remains active until price invalidates the zone. Use this zone from a higher time frame as a POI, or use it on the current chart time frame as an entry model.
You can run it on the current chart timeframe or enable MTF mode to detect iFVGs from a higher timeframe while plotting them directly on your chart for clean top-down context. Includes adjustable gap filtering, and inversion timing (N bars) to adjust the sensitivity of the iFVG logic
Rachev Regime AnalyzerRachev Regime Analyzer ~ GForge
What It Does
Measures the ratio of extreme gains to extreme losses to identify whether markets favor bulls or bears. When your best moves are bigger than your worst moves, conditions are bullish. When the opposite is true, conditions are bearish.
Simple Interpretation:
Ratio > 1.2 → Bullish regime (tail gains exceed tail losses)
Ratio < 0.8 → Bearish regime (tail losses exceed tail gains)
Between → Neutral/transitional
Key Features
Two Modes:
Single Asset: Analyze current chart
Multi-Asset: Aggregate regime across 5 assets with custom weights (great for gauging overall crypto/market conditions)
Customizable:
Lookback period (20-200 bars)
Tail percentile (what counts as "extreme")
Bullish/bearish thresholds
6 color schemes
Optional MA smoothing
Visual Signals:
Buy/sell markers at threshold crosses
Background regime coloring
Info table with current values and confidence score
Configurable alerts
How to Use
Choose lookback period based on your timeframe (40-60 bars is a good start)
Watch for threshold crosses - these mark regime changes
Check confidence score - higher = more reliable
Use multi-asset mode to see if entire market is shifting (not just one coin)
Best combined with: Trend indicators, support/resistance, volume analysis
Parameters
Lookback: More bars = smoother, less responsive
Alpha (0.10): Defines extreme events - lower = more extreme
Thresholds: Adjust based on asset volatility
Return Type: Log returns recommended for most assets
What Makes It Useful
Unlike simple volatility measures, this shows asymmetry - whether extreme moves favor upside or downside. A ratio of 1.5 means your extreme gains are 50% larger than extreme losses - that's actionable information about risk-reward dynamics.
Multi-asset aggregation is particularly powerful for crypto traders wanting to gauge if BTC, ETH, SOL, etc. are all showing similar regime characteristics.
Disclaimer
Educational tool only. Not financial advice. Use proper risk management. No indicator works in isolation - always consider broader market context.

BUY/SELL Smoothed Heikin Ashi Pro: RSI & MTF SignalsA trend-following tool that uses smoothed Heikin Ashi candles with optional RSI filtering and multi-timeframe confirmation. It highlights bullish and bearish reversals with dynamic color-coded BUY/SELL labels and includes an info panel for quick market context.
Elite MTF EMA Reclaim Signals Only ( With Market Presets)This indicator is a multi-timeframe trend-continuation entry tool.
It’s designed to help you enter pullback trades in strong trends while blocking choppy or low-quality conditions.
It works by:
Requiring Daily + 1H trend alignment
Enforcing EMA structure (5/10/20/50) on the 6-minute chart
Confirming momentum (EMA slope + curvature)
Blocking trades during chop (low ATR, weak ADX, tight EMAs, recent EMA crosses)
Triggering entries only after a Pullback → Reclaim → (optional) Retest
How to use it (6-minute execution)
Set chart to 6-minute
Select Market (Forex, XAUUSD, Crypto, or Indices)
Select Preset
Elite → fewest, cleanest trades
Balanced → best everyday default
Aggressive → more signals, more risk
Trade only when you see a LONG or SHORT triangle
Avoid trades when CHOP or HTF block markers appear
Place stops beyond EMA50 or recent structure, target 2R–4R+
Optional:
Turn on Looser LTF Mode or Allow reclaim without pullback for more signals
Use Next bar confirmation for cleaner entries, Reclaim close for faster entries
Bottom line:
The indicator doesn’t hunt trades—it filters the market so you only trade when trend, momentum, and structure are aligned.
Confluence Execution Engine (2of3)The Confluence Execution Engine is a high-performance logic gate designed to filter out market noise and identify high-probability "Golden" entries. It moves beyond simple indicator signals by acting as a mathematical validator for price action. This engine is designed for the Systematic Trader. It removes the "guesswork" of whether a move is real or an exhaustion pump by requiring a mathematical confluence of volume, multi-timeframe momentum, and volatility-adjusted space.
Why This Tool is Unique:
Multi-Dimensional Scoring, Momentum-Adjusted Stretch, Institutional Fingerprint (RVOL + Spike)
Unlike a standard MACD or RSI, this engine uses a weighted scoring matrix. It pulls a "Bundle" of data (WaveTrend, RSI, ROC) from four different timeframes simultaneously. It doesn't give a signal unless the mathematical weight of all four timeframes crosses your "Hurdle" (Base Threshold).
Standard "overbought" indicators are often wrong during strong trends. This engine uses Dynamic Z-Score logic. The Logic: If the price moves away from the mean, it checks the Rate of Change (ROC). The Result: If momentum is massive, the "Stretch" limit expands. It understands that a "stretched" price is actually a sign of strength in a breakout, not a reason to exit. It only warns of a TRAP RISK when the price is far from the mean but momentum is starting to stall.
The engine is gated by Relative Volume. If the market is "sleepy," the engine stays in "PATIENCE" mode. It specifically hunts for Volume Spikes (default 2.5x average). A signal is only upgraded to "HIGH CONVICTION" when an institutional volume spike occurs, confirming that "Big Money" is participating.
How to Operate the Engine
Define Your Hurdle: Set your Confluence Hurdle. A higher number (e.g., 14+) requires more agreement across timeframes, leading to fewer but higher-quality trades.
Monitor the Z/Dynamic Ratio: In the HUD, watch the Z: X.XX / Y.YY. When X approaches Y, you are reaching the edge of the momentum-adjusted move.
The Entry Trigger: Wait for a "LOOK FOR..." advice to turn into a "HIGH CONVICTION" signal (marked by a triangle shape). This confirms that the MTF scoring, Volume, and HTF Trend are all aligned.
Execute the Lines: Use the red and green "Ghost Lines" to set your orders. These are ATR-based, meaning they widen during high volatility to give your trade room to breathe.

## What This Indicator Does
This indicator combines two powerful concepts to identify complete market cycles:
### 1. Squeeze Momentum (LazyBear)
Detects **volatility compression** (consolidation) and subsequent **expansion** (breakout).
**Think of it like:** A spring being compressed, then released.
### 2. Multi-Timeframe Trend Exhaustion
Measures how far price has moved from its moving averages across multiple timeframes.
**Think of it like:** A rubber band being stretched—eventually it must snap back.
### The Complete Cycle
```
Consolidation → Breakout → Trend → Exhaustion → Reversion → Consolidation
```
This indicator shows you exactly where you are in this cycle.

| Element | What It Looks Like | Meaning |
|---------|-------------------|---------|
| **Colored Bars** | Green/Red histogram | Momentum strength and direction |
| **Filled Area** | Yellow/Lime/Red gradient area | Price extension from moving averages |
| **Cross at Zero** | Black/Gray/Blue cross | Squeeze state (volatility) |
| **Dashed Lines** | Horizontal red/green lines | Extension thresholds (±2σ scaled) |
---
### 1. Momentum Histogram (Colored Bars)
| Color | Direction | Meaning |
|-------|-----------|---------|
| **Bright Green** (Lime) | Up ↑ | Strong bullish momentum (increasing) |
| **Dark Green** | Up ↑ | Weak bullish momentum (decreasing) |
| **Bright Red** | Down ↓ | Strong bearish momentum (increasing) |
| **Dark Red** (Maroon) | Down ↓ | Weak bearish momentum (decreasing) |
**Key insight:** When bars change from bright to dark, momentum is fading.
---
### 2. Extension Area (Filled Gradient)
Shows how extended price is from its moving averages across 5 timeframes (5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, Daily).
| Color | Position | Meaning |
|-------|----------|---------|
| **Red** | High above zero | Severely overbought (>2σ scaled) |
| **Orange/Yellow** | Above zero | Moderately overbought |
| **Lime/Green** | Below zero | Moderately oversold |
| **Teal** | Deep below zero | Severely oversold (<-2σ scaled) |
**The area is scaled 3x** for better visibility. Actual values shown in table.
**Reading it:**
- **Area touching upper dashed line** = Price very far above averages (exhaustion territory)
- **Area touching lower dashed line** = Price very far below averages (exhaustion territory)
- **Area near zero** = Price near its averages (normal/neutral)

### 3. Squeeze Indicator (Cross at Zero Line)
| Color | Status | Meaning |
|-------|--------|---------|
| **Black** ⚫ | Squeeze ON | Bollinger Bands inside Keltner Channels → Low volatility, consolidation |
| **Gray** ⚪ | Squeeze OFF | Bollinger Bands outside Keltner Channels → Volatility expanding, breakout |
| **Blue** 🔵 | No Squeeze | Normal volatility conditions |
**Critical:** The transition from Black → Gray is where explosive moves begin.

## How to Read Signals
### Perfect Long Entry (High Confidence ⭐)
**Requirements (all must be true):**
1. ⚫→⚪ Squeeze just turned OFF (gray cross)
2. 📊 Momentum bars bright GREEN and rising
3. 🔻 Extension area BELOW lower dashed line (oversold)
4. ⭐ Confluence: 3/5 or more timeframes agree (shown as "🔻" in table)
**Visual:** Large green triangle appears
**What this means:** Price was oversold across multiple timeframes, consolidated, and is now breaking out upward with fresh momentum.
**Entry:** Next candle after signal
**Stop Loss:** Below recent consolidation low
**Take Profit:** When extension area crosses back above zero, or when exit signal appears
---
### Perfect Short Entry (High Confidence ⭐)
**Requirements (all must be true):**
1. ⚫→⚪ Squeeze just turned OFF (gray cross)
2. 📊 Momentum bars bright RED and falling
3. 🔺 Extension area ABOVE upper dashed line (overbought)
4. ⭐ Confluence: 3/5 or more timeframes agree (shown as "🔺" in table)
**Visual:** Large red triangle appears
**What this means:** Price was overbought across multiple timeframes, consolidated, and is now breaking down with fresh momentum.
**Entry:** Next candle after signal
**Stop Loss:** Above recent consolidation high
**Take Profit:** When extension area crosses back below zero, or when exit signal appears
---
### Exit Signals
#### Exit Long (Orange X)
**Appears when:**
- Extension area reaches upper dashed line (>2σ)
- Momentum bars turning from bright green to dark green
- Price losing upward velocity
**Action:** Close 50-100% of position. Move stop to breakeven on remainder.
#### Exit Short (Teal X)
**Appears when:**
- Extension area reaches lower dashed line (<-2σ)
- Momentum bars turning from bright red to dark red
- Price losing downward velocity
**Action:** Close 50-100% of position. Move stop to breakeven on remainder.
---
### Medium Confidence Signals (Small Triangles)
These appear when squeeze is OFF and momentum is directional, but:
- Extension is only moderate (not extreme), OR
- Confluence is weak (<3/5 timeframes)
**How to trade:**
- Use smaller position size (50% of normal)
- Tighter stops
- Only take if other factors align (support/resistance, volume, etc.)
---
## Trading Examples
### Example 1: Classic Squeeze Play into Trend
```
Step 1: CONSOLIDATION (💤)
Chart: Price moving sideways for 10-20 candles
Indicator: Black cross at zero (Squeeze ON)
Extension: Yellow/Lime area near zero line
Action: Set alert for Squeeze OFF
Step 2: BREAKOUT (⚡)
Chart: Strong green candle breaks resistance
Indicator: Cross turns GRAY (Squeeze OFF)
Bright GREEN momentum bars appear
Extension area still near zero or slightly below
Signal: Large green triangle appears
Action: ENTER LONG
Stop loss below consolidation
Target: Extension upper line
Step 3: TRENDING (↗️)
Chart: Series of higher highs and higher lows
Indicator: Momentum bars stay bright green
Extension area rising toward upper line
Area color transitions yellow → orange → red
Action: HOLD, trailing stop
Step 4: EXHAUSTION (🔴)
Chart: Price makes new high but with smaller candle
Indicator: Extension area touches upper dashed line
Momentum bars turn DARK green (weakening)
Orange X appears
Table shows "EXHAUSTION BULL"
Action: EXIT position
Book profits
Step 5: REVERSION
Chart: Price falls back toward moving averages
Indicator: Extension area shrinks back toward zero
Red momentum bars appear
Action: Wait for next setup
```
**Result:** Caught the entire trend from breakout to exhaustion.
---
### Example 2: Failed Breakout (What NOT to Trade)
```
Situation:
- Squeeze OFF (gray cross) ✓
- Momentum bars bright green ✓
- BUT extension area ABOVE upper line (already overbought) ✗
- Confluence shows 1/5 (only one timeframe agrees) ✗
Indicator: Small green triangle (medium confidence) or no triangle
What happens: Price makes small move up, then reverses
Lesson: Don't chase extended moves even if squeeze fires.
Wait for price to be on the RIGHT SIDE of the extension lines.
```
---
### Example 3: Exhaustion Reversal Trade
```
Step 1: EXTENDED (⚠️)
Chart: Strong uptrend for days

Action: Watch closely, tighten stops
Step 2: EXHAUSTION (🔴)
Chart: Price makes final push but with decreasing volume
Indicator: Momentum bars turn DARK green
Orange X appears
Table: "EXHAUSTION BULL" + "4/5 🔺"
Action: CLOSE any longs
Consider SHORT entry
Step 3: SQUEEZE FORMS (Optional)
Chart: Price starts consolidating
Indicator: Cross turns BLACK (Squeeze ON)
Extension area falling toward zero
Action: Wait for Squeeze OFF to confirm reversal
Step 4: BREAKOUT DOWN (⚡)
Indicator: Cross turns GRAY

### Understanding the Table
Located in top-right corner:
| Row | Meaning |
|-----|---------|
| **Market State** | Current cycle phase (Consolidation/Breakout/Trending/Exhaustion) |
| **Squeeze** | 🔴 ON / 🟢 OFF / 🔵 No |
| **Momentum** | ↑ Bull / ↓ Bear / ~ Weak / — Neutral |
| **Extension** | Actual value in standard deviations (σ) - NOT scaled |
| **Confluence** | How many timeframes agree (X/5 🔺 or 🔻) |
| **Velocity** | Speed of extension change (↑ increasing, ↓ decreasing) |
| **ACTION** | What to do right now |
**Most important rows:**
1. **Market State** - Quick glance at current cycle
2. **Confluence** - Determines signal quality
3. **ACTION** - Direct guidance
---
## Best Practices
### ✅ DO
1. **Wait for High Confidence signals** (large triangles)
- Don't trade every small signal
- Quality over quantity
2. **Use the complete cycle**
- Enter on Breakout (⚡)
- Hold through Trending (↗️/↘️)
- Exit on Exhaustion (🔴/🟢)
3. **Respect confluence**
- 4/5 or 5/5 = Excellent probability
- 3/5 = Good probability
- 1-2/5 = Skip
4. **Combine with price action**
- Support/resistance levels
- Volume confirmation
- Candlestick patterns
5. **Set alerts**
- "Squeeze OFF" - Don't miss breakouts
- "HC Long Setup" / "HC Short Setup"
- "Exit Long" / "Exit Short"
6. **Scale positions**
- Enter 50% on signal
- Add 25% if extension confirms
- Add final 25% if momentum sustains
7. **Use proper risk management**
- Stop loss: Below/above consolidation
- Position size: 1-2% account risk
- Take profit: Extension targets or signals
---
### ❌ DON'T
1. **Don't trade Consolidation state**
- Black cross (Squeeze ON) = Wait mode
- No signals during consolidation
2. **Don't chase Extended moves**
- If extension already >2σ when Squeeze fires
- Even if momentum looks good
- Wait for reversion first
3. **Don't fight strong trends**
- If extension is growing and momentum strong
- Don't counter-trend trade
- Wait for exhaustion signals
4. **Don't ignore velocity**
- If velocity is ↑ and extension high = still dangerous
- If velocity is ↓ and extension high = safer reversal
5. **Don't trade low confluence**
- 1/5 or 2/5 = Different timeframes disagree
- High chance of false signal
6. **Don't use blindly**
- Check overall market context
- Major news events can override signals
- Trend on higher timeframe matters
7. **Don't overtrade**
- Good setups are rare (that's why they work)
- Wait for complete setup formation
---
## Quick Reference Card

- Large triangle signal
- Action says "LONG/SHORT ENTRY ⭐"
**⭐⭐ GOOD SETUP (Trade with caution)**
- Squeeze OFF
- Momentum directional
- Extension moderate
- Confluence ≥3/5
- Small triangle or Action confirms
**⭐ WEAK SETUP (Skip)**
- Low confluence (<3/5)
- Extension same direction as entry
- Momentum weak or conflicting

### State → Action Quick Guide
| See This State | Do This |
|---------------|---------|
| 💤 CONSOLIDATION | Wait, set alerts |
| ⚡ BREAKOUT | Enter in direction |
| ↗️/↘️ TRENDING | Hold positions |
| ⚠️ EXTENDED | Tighten stops, no new entries |
| 🔴/🟢 EXHAUSTION | Exit, consider reversal |
| — NEUTRAL | No trade |
---
## Troubleshooting
**Q: Indicator shows Exhaustion but price keeps going**
**A:** Check velocity and momentum. If still bright bars + velocity ↑, wait. True exhaustion needs momentum weakening.
**Q: Too many false signals**
**A:** Increase Min Confluence to 4/5. Use longer timeframe chart (4h instead of 1h).
**Q: Missing good trades**
**A:** Set alerts for "Squeeze OFF" and "HC Entry" signals. You can't watch charts 24/7.
**Q: Extension area looks weird**
**A:** Remember it's scaled 3x for visibility. Check table for actual values.
**Q: Which timeframe is best?**
**A:** 4H for swing trading, 1H for day trading. Lower = more signals but more noise.

Session Volume Analyzer [JOAT]
Session Volume Analyzer — Global Trading Session and Volume Intelligence System
This indicator addresses the analytical challenge of understanding market participation patterns across global trading sessions. It combines precise session detection with comprehensive volume analysis to provide insights into when and how different market participants are active. The tool recognizes that different trading sessions exhibit distinct characteristics in terms of participation, volatility, and volume patterns.
Why This Combination Provides Unique Analytical Value
Traditional session indicators typically only show time boundaries, while volume indicators show raw volume data without session context. This creates analytical gaps:
1. **Session Context Missing**: Volume spikes without session context provide incomplete information
2. **Participation Patterns Hidden**: Different sessions have different participant types (retail, institutional, algorithmic)
3. **Comparative Analysis Lacking**: No easy way to compare volume patterns across sessions
4. **Timing Intelligence Absent**: Understanding WHEN volume occurs is as important as HOW MUCH volume occurs
This indicator's originality lies in creating an integrated session-volume analysis system that:
**Provides Session-Aware Volume Analysis**: Volume data is contextualized within specific trading sessions
**Enables Cross-Session Comparison**: Compare volume patterns between Asian, London, and New York sessions
**Delivers Participation Intelligence**: Understand which sessions are showing above-normal participation
**Offers Real-Time Session Tracking**: Know exactly which session is active and how current volume compares
Technical Innovation and Originality
While session detection and volume analysis exist separately, the innovation lies in:
1. **Integrated Session-Volume Architecture**: Simultaneous tracking of session boundaries and volume statistics creates comprehensive market participation analysis
2. **Multi-Session Volume Comparison System**: Real-time calculation and comparison of volume statistics across different global sessions
3. **Adaptive Volume Threshold Detection**: Automatic identification of above-average volume periods within session context
4. **Comprehensive Visual Integration**: Session backgrounds, volume highlights, and statistical dashboards provide complete market participation picture
How Session Detection and Volume Analysis Work Together
The integration creates a sophisticated market participation analysis system:
**Session Detection Logic**: Uses Pine Script's time functions to identify active sessions
// Session detection based on exchange time
bool inAsian = not na(time(timeframe.period, asianSession))
bool inLondon = not na(time(timeframe.period, londonSession))
bool inNY = not na(time(timeframe.period, nySession))
// Session transition detection
bool asianStart = inAsian and not inAsian
bool londonStart = inLondon and not inLondon
bool nyStart = inNY and not inNY
**Volume Analysis Integration**: Volume statistics are calculated within session context
// Session-specific volume accumulation
if asianStart
asianVol := 0.0
asianBars := 0
if inAsian
asianVol += volume
asianBars += 1
// Real-time session volume analysis
float asianAvgVol = asianBars > 0 ? asianVol / asianBars : 0
**Relative Volume Assessment**: Current volume compared to session-specific averages
float volMA = ta.sma(volume, volLength)
float volRatio = volMA > 0 ? volume / volMA : 1
// Volume classification within session context
bool isHighVol = volRatio >= 1.5 and volRatio < 2.5
bool isVeryHighVol = volRatio >= 2.5
This creates a system where volume analysis is always contextualized within the appropriate trading session, providing more meaningful insights than raw volume data alone.
Comprehensive Session Analysis Framework
**Default Session Definitions** (customizable based on broker timezone):
- **Asian Session**: 1800-0300 (exchange time) - Represents Asian market participation including Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore
- **London Session**: 0300-1200 (exchange time) - Represents European market participation
- **New York Session**: 0800-1700 (exchange time) - Represents North American market participation
**Session Overlap Analysis**: The system recognizes and highlights overlap periods:
- **London/New York Overlap**: 0800-1200 - Typically the highest volume period
- **Asian/London Overlap**: 0300-0300 (brief) - Transition period
- **New York/Asian Overlap**: 1700-1800 (brief) - End of NY, start of Asian
**Volume Intelligence Features**:
1. **Session-Specific Volume Accumulation**: Tracks total volume within each session
2. **Cross-Session Volume Comparison**: Compare current session volume to other sessions
3. **Relative Volume Detection**: Identify when current volume exceeds historical averages
4. **Participation Pattern Analysis**: Understand which sessions show consistent high/low participation
Advanced Volume Analysis Methods
**Relative Volume Calculation**:
float volMA = ta.sma(volume, volLength) // Volume moving average
float volRatio = volMA > 0 ? volume / volMA : 1 // Current vs average ratio
// Multi-tier volume classification
bool isNormalVol = volRatio < 1.5
bool isHighVol = volRatio >= 1.5 and volRatio < 2.5
bool isVeryHighVol = volRatio >= 2.5
bool isExtremeVol = volRatio >= 4.0
**Session Volume Tracking**:
// Cumulative session volume with bar counting
if londonStart
londonVol := 0.0
londonBars := 0
if inLondon
londonVol += volume
londonBars += 1
// Average volume per bar calculation
float londonAvgVol = londonBars > 0 ? londonVol / londonBars : 0
**Cross-Session Volume Comparison**:
The system maintains running totals for each session, enabling real-time comparison of participation levels across different global markets.

Important Limitations and Realistic Expectations
Session times are approximate and depend on your broker's server timezone—manual adjustment may be required for accuracy
Volume data quality varies significantly by broker, instrument, and market type
Cryptocurrency and some forex markets trade continuously, making traditional session boundaries less meaningful
High volume indicates participation level only—it does not predict price direction or market outcomes
Session participation patterns can change over time due to market structure evolution, holidays, and economic conditions
This tool displays historical and current market participation data—it cannot predict future volume or price movements
Volume spikes can occur for numerous reasons unrelated to directional price movement (news, algorithmic trading, etc.)
Different instruments exhibit different session sensitivity and volume patterns
Market holidays and special events can significantly alter normal session patterns
Appropriate Use Cases
This indicator is designed for:
- Market participation pattern analysis
- Session-based trading schedule planning
- Volume context and comparison across sessions
- Educational study of global market structure
- Supplementary analysis for session-based strategies
This indicator is NOT designed for:
- Standalone trading signal generation
- Volume-based price direction prediction
- Automated trading system triggers
- Guaranteed session pattern repetition
- Replacement of fundamental or sentiment analysis
Understanding Session Analysis Limitations
Session analysis provides valuable context but has inherent limitations:
- Session patterns can change due to economic conditions, holidays, and market structure evolution
- Volume patterns may not repeat consistently across different market conditions
- Global events can override normal session characteristics
- Different asset classes respond differently to session boundaries
- Technology and algorithmic trading continue to blur traditional session distinctions

BB Squeeze - HighQToolsBBW Squeeze — HighQTools
As always, if anyone has any tips or additional features they'd like to see, feel free to reach out!
Overview
The BBW Percentile Squeeze highlights periods of exceptionally compressed volatility by measuring Bollinger Band Width (BBW) and ranking it within a rolling historical percentile. When BBW falls into the lowest portion of its own distribution, price is statistically “tight” relative to recent history—a condition that often precedes volatility expansion.
Instead of plotting an oscillator in a separate pane, this tool expresses information directly on the price chart by changing bar colors during squeeze conditions, keeping charts clean and execution-focused.
How It Works
Standard Bollinger Bands are calculated using a configurable length and standard deviation.
Band width is normalized and evaluated against a rolling lookback window.
The current width is converted into a percentile rank (0–100):
Lower percentile = tighter volatility
Higher percentile = expanded volatility
When the percentile drops below the user-defined threshold, the market is considered to be in a squeeze.
An optional RTH-only mode allows the percentile calculation to consider Regular Trading Hours bars only, which is especially useful for futures traders who want to ignore overnight volatility distortions.
Visual Signals
Squeeze Bars
Bars are recolored when BBW percentile falls below the selected threshold, indicating extreme compression.
Release Bar (optional)
The first bar exiting the squeeze can be highlighted separately, marking the resolution of compression.
No oscillator, no bands, no shapes—only context applied directly to price.
How to Use It
The squeeze itself is not a trade signal.
Squeeze conditions indicate stored energy—expect range expansion, not direction.
Focus on:
Market structure
Higher-timeframe context
Volume, delta, or acceptance/rejection
The release from squeeze often provides the best opportunity, especially when aligned with directional bias or structural breaks.
For best results, use this tool as a context filter alongside execution setups rather than as a standalone entry signal.
Recommended Settings
BB Length: 10
Std Dev: 2.0
Percentile Lookback: 200–300 bars
Squeeze Threshold: 5-10 percentile
RTH-only: Enabled for index futures
Disclaimer
This indicator is designed to provide context, not predictions. Always combine volatility information with sound risk management and a complete trading plan.
Elite MTF EMA ReclaimThis indicator is a trend-continuation tool, not a scalper.
Its purpose is to help you enter clean pullback trades in strong trends while blocking chop and low-quality setups.
It works by:
Requiring Daily + 1H trend alignment
Enforcing EMA structure (5/10/20/50) on the execution timeframe
Confirming momentum expansion using EMA slope + curvature
Blocking trades when conditions are choppy (low ATR, weak ADX, tight EMAs, recent EMA crosses)
Triggering entries only after a Pullback → Reclaim → (optional) Retest
How to use it:
Trade on the 6-minute chart (Forex works best based on default setting) but is adaptable to any market by changing settings
Wait for LONG / SHORT triangles only when no CHOP or HTF block is shown
Enter on the signal, place stops beyond EMA 50 or structure, target 2R–4R+
Expect fewer but higher-quality trades
What it’s not:
Not a breakout or range-trading indicator
Not meant to fire many signals
Not for choppy or low-volatility markets
Bottom line:
It helps you trade with higher-timeframe momentum, enter after pullbacks, and avoid bad market conditions.
Swing Trade System# Swing Trade Strategy - Complete Guide
## Overview
This is a comprehensive swing trading indicator for TradingView that identifies high-probability trend continuation setups using multi-timeframe analysis, pullback patterns, and momentum confirmation. The strategy combines technical indicators with risk management tools to help traders capture swing moves with defined risk-reward parameters.
## What It Does
The indicator identifies two types of signals:
1. **Base Signals** (small markers) - Initial setup detection with basic criteria met
2. **High Confidence (HC) Signals** (large markers) - Fully confirmed setups with all filters passed, including optional higher timeframe confirmation
Once a HC signal triggers, the indicator automatically plots:
- Dynamic stop loss levels (trailing, break-even, or static)
- Partial take profit (TP1) at 1R
- Final take profit (TP2) at your chosen risk-reward multiple
- Real-time R-multiple tracking
- Confluence dashboard showing all conditions
## How It Works
### Core Signal Logic
The strategy identifies pullback-to-trend entries using this sequence:
**For LONG signals:**
1. **Trend Filter**: Fast EMA (20) above Slow EMA (50) = uptrend confirmed
2. **Pullback**: Previous candle closed between the two EMAs (pulled back but didn't break structure)
3. **RSI Swing Zone**: RSI between 40-60 (not overbought/oversold, just resting)
4. **Reclaim**: Current candle crosses back above Fast EMA (momentum returning)
5. **Volume Spike** (optional): Current volume > 1.5x the 20-period average
6. **HTF Confirmation** (optional): Daily timeframe shows: price > 50 EMA, RSI > 50, and rising momentum
**For SHORT signals:**
The same logic applies in reverse (downtrend, pullback above fast EMA, reclaim below, etc.)
### Risk Management Features
**Stop Loss Placement:**
- Initial stop: Swing low/high over the last 10 bars
- Can upgrade to ATR trailing stop (2x ATR below/above price)
- Can move to break-even after reaching 1R profit
**Take Profit Levels:**
- TP1: 1R (optional partial exit point)
- TP2: 2R default (adjustable to your preference)
**Position Monitoring:**
- Live R-multiple display shows current profit/loss in risk units
- Dynamic stop updates visually on chart
- Color-coded confidence score (0-100%) based on confluence of factors
## Best Way to Use These Signals
### 1. **Wait for High Confidence Signals Only**
- Don't trade every base signal (small markers)
- Only take trades when you see the large "HC L" or "HC S" markers
- These have passed all your filters including higher timeframe alignment
### 2. **Ideal Entry Timing**
**On the Signal Candle:**
- Enter at market close when HC signal fires
- This ensures all conditions were met by candle close
- Your stop and targets are calculated from this close price
**On the Next Candle (more conservative):**
- Wait for the candle after the signal
- Enter if price continues in the signal direction
- Helps avoid false breakouts but may miss some moves
### 3. **Position Sizing**
Use the automatic risk calculation:
- Your risk = Entry price - Stop loss
- Position size = (Account Risk %) ÷ (Entry - Stop)
- Example: Risk $100 on account, Entry $50, Stop $48 = $100 ÷ $2 = 50 shares
### 4. **Trade Management**
**Scaling Out:**
- Exit 50% position at TP1 (1R) to lock profits
- Move stop to break-even on remaining position
- Let rest run to TP2 (2R) or trail with ATR stop
**Manual Override:**
- If price action deteriorates (breaks below both EMAs, RSI divergence), consider early exit
- The dynamic stop is a guide, not gospel—trust price action
## Breakout vs. Retest Strategy
### Understanding Breakout Types
**1. First Touch Breakout (Aggressive)**
- HC signal fires on first touch of fast EMA after pullback
- Higher win rate if volume is strong
- Best in strongly trending markets
- Risk: Could be a false breakout if momentum weak
**2. Retest Entry (Conservative)**
- Wait for price to pull back *again* after initial HC signal
- Enter when price retests the fast EMA a second time
- Look for: lower volume on retest, RSI still in swing zone, fast EMA still above slow EMA
- Lower risk but may miss some fast moves
### Which Breakouts to Take
**Take the FIRST breakout (signal candle) when:**
- ✅ Higher timeframe is strongly aligned (HTF confirmation on)
- ✅ Volume spike is present (>1.5x average)
- ✅ Confidence score ≥70%
- ✅ Trend is fresh (EMAs recently crossed, not extended)
- ✅ Price closed strongly above/below fast EMA (not barely crossed)
- ✅ No major resistance/support nearby
**Wait for a RETEST when:**
- ⚠️ No volume confirmation on first signal
- ⚠️ Confidence score 40-69% (moderate)
- ⚠️ Price barely crossed the fast EMA (weak momentum)
- ⚠️ Trend is extended (price far from slow EMA)
- ⚠️ Major resistance/support level just ahead
- ⚠️ Late in the trading day/week (could see pullback)
### How to Trade Retests
**Setup:**
1. HC signal fires but you decide to wait
2. Price pulls back toward fast EMA over next 1-3 candles
3. Watch for second bounce at the fast EMA
**Confirmation for Retest Entry:**
- Price holds above fast EMA (for longs) without closing below it
- Volume decreases on the pullback (profit-taking, not reversal)
- RSI stays above 50 for longs (or below 50 for shorts)
- Bullish candlestick pattern forms (hammer, engulfing, etc.)
- Slow EMA is still providing support/resistance
**Retest Entry Trigger:**
- Enter when price crosses back in signal direction with momentum
- Or enter with a limit order at the fast EMA
- Use same stop loss as original signal (swing low/high)
- Targets remain the same (measured from your new entry)
## Dashboard Reference
The top confluence table shows real-time status:
