LiquidEdge Original1️⃣ Why Most Traders Miss Key Market Turning Points
Most traders (you) struggle to identify true market pivots THE REAL TOP and BOTTOMS where reversals begin.
❌ You enter too early or too late because price alone doesn’t give enough confirmation
❌ You follow price blindly, unaware of the volume pressure building underneath
❌ You get caught in sideways markets, not realizing they’re often accumulation or distribution zones
❌ You can’t tell if momentum is building or fading, which leads to low confidence and inconsistent results
👉 LiquidEdge helps solve this by tracking volume momentum through a modified MFI slope and scoring system. It highlights potential pivots with real context, so you can see where smart money might be entering or exiting before price makes it obvious.
2️⃣ What LiquidEdge Actually Does and How
LiquidEdge helps solve common trading problems by adding structure and clarity to volume analysis.
✅ It builds on the classic Money Flow Index (MFI), but instead of just showing overbought/oversold levels, it calculates the slope of MFI to track real-time changes in volume momentum
✅ Each setup is scored based on a combination of factors: divergence strength, trend alignment using EMA, and whether the signal occurs inside a liquidity zone
✅ Hidden accumulation or distribution is revealed when volume pressure increases or fades while price remains flat or moves slightly, a sign of smart money positioning
✅ Divergences are only flagged when they occur near pivot zones and align with overall trend conditions, helping reduce false signals
✅ Potential pivots are identified when multiple factors overlap such as a liquidity zone breach, volume slope shift, and valid divergence which often signals entry or exit points for institutional players
👉 The result is a structured interpretation of price and volume flow, helping traders read momentum shifts and potential reversals more clearly in both trending and ranging markets.
3️⃣ What Makes LiquidEdge Different
LiquidEdge is built on top of the classic Money Flow Index (MFI), but adds structure that transforms it from a basic momentum tool into a decision-support system.
Instead of simply showing highs and lows, it scores each potential setup based on:
✅ The steepness and direction of the MFI slope (used to measure volume pressure)
✅ Whether the setup aligns with the broader trend using an EMA filter (default: 200 EMA)
✅ Whether the signal appears inside predefined liquidity zones (MFI above 80 or below 20)
👉 This scoring system reduces noise and helps you focus only on high-probability setups.
👉 It also checks volume pressure across multiple timeframes using MFI slope on 5M, 15M, 1H, 4H, and Daily charts. This reveals whether short-term moves are backed by longer-term volume momentum.
Color changes in the line and histogram are not decorative they reflect real shifts in volume pressure. Every visual cue is linked to live market logic.
What Makes It Stand Out
👉 Setup Scoring That Makes Sense
Each setup is scored by combining:
Signal strength (MFI slope intensity and stability)
Trend direction (via customizable EMA)
Liquidity zone relevance (MFI range filtering)
This structured scoring means you spend less time second-guessing and more time reading clean signals.
👉 Flow That Follows Real Momentum
The slope of the MFI tracks whether volume pressure is rising or falling:
🟢 Green = increasing inflow (buying pressure)
🔴 Red = increasing outflow (selling pressure)
👉 Multi-Timeframe Volume Context
LiquidEdge calculates flow direction independently on each major timeframe. You’ll know if short-term setups are confirmed by higher timeframe volume or going against it.
👉 Smart Divergence Filtering
Unlike simple divergence tools that compare price highs/lows directly, LiquidEdge filters divergences based on:
Local pivot zones (defined by lookback periods)
Trend confirmation (to eliminate countertrend noise)
4️⃣ How LiquidEdge Works (Under the Hood)
LiquidEdge tracks directional momentum using the slope of the Money Flow Index (MFI) giving you a real-time read on buying and selling pressure.
When the slope rises, it means buyers are stepping in and volume is supporting the move.
When it falls, sellers are taking control and volume outflow is increasing.
This slope acts like a pressure gauge for the market, helping you spot when a trend has strength or when it's starting to fade.
💡 Quick Comparison
RSI = momentum from price
MFI = momentum from price + volume
LiquidEdge takes it one step further by calculating the rate of change (slope) in MFI. That’s where the pressure signal comes from not just value, but directional flow.
Core Calculations (Simplified)
Typical Price = (High + Low + Close) ÷ 3
Raw Money Flow = Typical Price × Volume
MFI = 100 −
MFI ranges from 0 to 100.
High = strong buying volume
Low = growing selling pressure
LiquidEdge then calculates the slope of this MFI over time to track volume momentum dynamically.
Divergence Engine
LiquidEdge detects divergence by comparing price pivots with the direction of MFI slope.
❌ If price makes a higher high but MFI slope turns down, it’s a bearish divergence
✅ If price makes a lower low but MFI slope rises, it’s a bullish divergence
Divergences are only confirmed when they occur:
Near local pivot zones (defined by configurable lookback windows)
And, optionally, in alignment with the broader trend using an EMA filter
This filtering helps reduce false positives and keeps you focused on clean setups.
Structured Confidence Scoring
Each signal is visually scored based on:
➡️ Whether a valid divergence is detected
➡️ Whether the signal occurs inside a liquidity zone (MFI > 80 or < 20)
➡️ Whether the setup aligns with the overall trend direction (EMA filter)
More confluence = higher confidence
The scoring system helps prioritize setups that meet multiple criteria, not just one.
Liquidity Zones
Above 80: Signals possible buying exhaustion 👉 risk of reversal
Below 20: Indicates potential selling exhaustion 👉 watch for a bounce
Zones are shaded directly on the chart to highlight pressure extremes in real time.
Price + Volume Fusion
LiquidEdge blends price action with volume pressure using MFI slope and histogram behavior. It doesn’t just show you where price is moving. it shows whether the move is backed by real volume.
This lets you see:
Whether volume is confirming or fading behind a move
If a reversal is building even before price confirms it
Visual Feedback That Speaks Clearly
🟢 Green slope = increasing buying pressure
🔴 Red slope = increasing selling pressure
5️⃣ When Price Is Flat but LiquidEdge Moves: Volume Tells the Truth
One of the most useful things LiquidEdge can do is reveal pressure shifts when price looks neutral.
If price is moving sideways but the MFI slope or histogram rises, it may suggest that buying pressure is quietly increasing possibly pointing to early accumulation.
If price stays flat while the volume slope or histogram drops, this could indicate distribution, where sellers are exiting without moving the market noticeably.
These changes don’t guarantee a breakout or breakdown, but they often precede key moves especially when combined with other confluences like trend alignment or liquidity zones.
👉 LiquidEdge helps spot these setups by measuring volume momentum shifts beneath price action.
It doesn’t predict the future, but it gives you additional context to evaluate what may be developing before it’s visible on price alone.
6️⃣ Multi-Timeframe Flow Table
LiquidEdge includes a real-time table that tracks volume pressure across multiple timeframes including 5-minute, 15-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, and daily charts.
Each row reflects the direction of the MFI slope on that timeframe, indicating whether volume pressure is increasing (inflow) or decreasing (outflow).
🟢 A rising slope suggests that buying momentum is building
🔴 A falling slope suggests selling pressure may be increasing
👉 This lets traders quickly assess whether short-term setups are aligned with higher timeframe volume trends a useful layer of confirmation for both intraday and swing strategies.
Rather than flipping between charts, the table gives you a snapshot of flow strength across the board, helping you stay focused on opportunities that align with broader market pressure.
7️⃣ Timeframes & Assets
Where LiquidEdge Works Best:
✅ Crypto: Supports major coins and high-volume altcoins (BTC, ETH, Top 100)
✅ Stocks: Effective on large-cap and mid-cap equities with consistent volume
✅ Futures: Tested on instruments like NQ, MNQ, ES, and MES
✅ Any liquid market where volume data is reliable and stable
For best results, use LiquidEdge on assets with consistent trading volume. It’s not recommended for ultra-low volume crypto pairs or micro-cap stocks, where irregular volume can distort signals.
Recommended Timeframes:
👉 Intraday trading: Works well on 3-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute, and 1-hour charts
👉 Swing trading: Performs reliably on 4-hour, daily, and weekly charts
👉 Ultra short-term (1-minute or less): Not recommended due to high noise and low reliability
LiquidEdge adapts to various trading styles from scalping short-term momentum shifts to analyzing broader volume trends across swing and positional setups. The key is choosing assets and timeframes with reliable volume flow for the tool to work effectively.
8️⃣ Common Mistakes to Avoid When Using LiquidEdge
❌ Using It in Isolation
LiquidEdge offers valuable context, but it’s not designed to function as a standalone trading system. Always combine it with key tools such as trendlines, support/resistance zones, chart structure, or fundamental data. The more supporting evidence you have, the stronger your analysis becomes.
❌ Relying on a Single Indicator
No indicator, including LiquidEdge, can account for every market condition. It’s important to use it alongside other forms of confirmation to avoid making decisions based on limited data.
❌ Misinterpreting Divergences as Reversals
A divergence between price and volume pressure doesn't always signal the end of a trend. If the broader direction remains strong (based on EMAs or higher timeframe volume flow), a divergence could reflect temporary consolidation rather than reversal.
❌ Ignoring Trend Alignment and Confidence Scoring
LiquidEdge includes confidence scoring to help validate signals. Disregarding this structure can lead to reacting to weak or out-of-context divergences, especially in choppy or low-volume environments.
❌ Using It on Second-Based or Tick Charts
Very low timeframes introduce too much noise, which can distort volume slope and divergence signals. For intraday analysis, start with 3-minute charts or higher. For swing trading, use 4H and up for clearer, more reliable structure.
9️⃣ LiquidEdge Settings Overview
A quick breakdown of what you can customize in the indicator and how each option affects what you see:

⚠️ Not recommended on ultra-low or second-based charts due to noise
🔟 Q&A – What Traders Usually Ask
➡️ Can this help reduce bad trades?
To a degree, yes. LiquidEdge is built to highlight areas where price may react, based on volume pressure, liquidity zones, and divergence patterns. It can offer clarity in sideways or messy markets, helping traders avoid impulsive or poorly timed entries.
That said, it’s not predictive or guaranteed. It works best when used with broader context including structure, support/resistance, trend, and volume-based confluence.
👉 Reminder: LiquidEdge is not a signal tool. It’s a decision-support framework designed to help you assess potential shifts, not replace judgment or trading rules.
➡️ Is this just another flashy signal tool?
No. LiquidEdge doesn’t give buy/sell alerts. Instead, it visualizes volume shifts using MFI slope, divergence filtering, and trend-based scoring. It’s built to help you understand why price action may be changing not just react to a one-dimensional signal.
You’re seeing how volume pressure evolves across timeframes, which gives added context to what’s unfolding in the market.
➡️ How do I know this isn’t just another overhyped tool?
LiquidEdge is based on real trading logic: volume pressure (via MFI slope), price behavior, and divergence within trend and liquidity zones. It was developed and tested by traders, not packaged by marketers.
No performance is guaranteed. It’s designed to support your decisions not promise results.
➡️ Will this work with my trading style?
If you trade any market with volume crypto, stocks, or futures LiquidEdge can add value.
✔️ Scalpers: Best from 3-minute and up
✔️ Swing traders: Works well on 4H, Daily, Weekly
✔️ Investors: Weekly charts show pressure buildup over time
⚠️ Avoid ultra-low timeframes (under 1M) or illiquid markets, as noise and irregular data can reduce reliability.
➡️ Can I trust the signals?
These are not buy/sell signals. LiquidEdge offers confidence-weighted insights based on:
✔️ Valid divergence
✔️ Zone positioning (above 80 / below 20)
✔️ Optional trend alignment (via EMA)
Each setup is scored visually to reflect how much confluence exists. You can combine that information with structure, price action, or your existing tools to evaluate opportunities.
👉 Think of LiquidEdge as a decision filter not a trigger.
It’s meant to slow down impulsive trades and help you make more context-aware decisions.
1️⃣1️⃣ Limitations – Know When It’s Less Effective
LiquidEdge performs best in stable, high-volume markets where volume data is consistent and structure is visible.
It’s not recommended for:
❌ Low-volume tokens
❌ Micro-cap or penny stocks
❌ Newly listed assets with limited trading history
These types of markets often show inconsistent or erratic volume behavior, making it difficult for LiquidEdge to accurately assess pressure or identify reliable divergences.
⚠️ During major news events or sudden volatility spikes, volume and price behavior can become disconnected or extreme. This may distort MFI slope calculations and reduce the accuracy of divergence or confidence scoring.
LiquidEdge is built to read structured volume flow. When market conditions become highly erratic or unpredictable, it's best to:
Wait for structure to return
Use it alongside other filters for additional confirmation
This isn't a flaw it's simply the nature of tools that rely on consistency in price and volume data.
1️⃣2️⃣ Real Chart Examples – See It in Action
Now that you’ve seen how LiquidEdge works, here are real-world chart examples from various asset classes
including:
✅ Crypto
✅ Stocks
✅ Futures
✅ Commodities
These examples demonstrate how LiquidEdge behaves under different conditions, and how both the line (MFI slope) and histogram (volume deviation) can be used to interpret market flow.
In each walkthrough, you’ll see:
How the histogram can highlight potential momentum shifts
When the slope line provides stronger directional clarity
Examples of possible hidden accumulation or distribution (before price responds)
What to watch out for such as weak volume, false divergences, or conflicting flow signals
👉 These are real examples based on live market data not theoretical setups. They’re meant to help you recognize how LiquidEdge reacts across multiple styles and timeframes.
Let’s walk through each one and break down the logic step by step, so you can understand how to evaluate setups using structure, volume behavior, and context-driven confluence.
Example: Microsoft (MSFT) – Possible Hidden Accumulation
In this setup, price was moving lower within a short-term downtrend. However, LiquidEdge began showing signs of increasing inflow pressure a common characteristic of accumulation, where volume rises even as price declines.
This divergence suggested that buying interest may have been increasing behind the scenes, despite weak price action on the surface.
Step-by-step breakdown:
👉 Trend context – Price was clearly trending down at the time
👉 Volume divergence – Price made lower lows, but LiquidEdge slope was rising = possible bullish divergence
👉 Accumulation clue – The rising slope, despite falling price, pointed to volume inflow often seen during quiet accumulation
👉 Histogram support – Volume pressure (via the histogram) also increased, confirming the flow shift
👉 Anticipating reaction – When liquidity pressure rises ahead of price, it can signal potential reversal interest
In this case, price later moved sharply higher. While not guaranteed, setups like this illustrate how divergence + volume flow may help highlight early accumulation zones before price confirms the shift.
Same Setup – Focusing on the Histogram Alone
Here, we’re revisiting the Microsoft setup but this time focusing only on the histogram, without the MFI slope line.
Even without the directional slope, the histogram showed rising volume pressure while price continued to drift lower. This visual pattern may indicate that buying interest was quietly increasing, despite weak price movement.
This is where the histogram adds value: it helps visualize the intensity of volume flow over time. When volume pressure builds during a flat or declining price phase, it can be consistent with accumulation where larger participants begin positioning before the market responds.
This example highlights how the histogram alone can provide early insight into underlying volume dynamics even before price shifts noticeably.
Filtering with EMA and why It Matters
Here, we revisit the Microsoft example this time applying the 200 EMA filter, which helps define the broader trend.
Once enabled, LiquidEdge automatically removed any bullish or bearish divergence signals that were against the prevailing trend. This helped reduce noise and focus only on setups aligned with market structure.
✅ The EMA acts as a contextual filter.
For example, if a bullish divergence occurs during a confirmed downtrend, LiquidEdge suppresses that signal helping you avoid setups that may carry more risk.
This filtering mechanism is especially useful in fast or choppy markets, where not all divergences are meaningful.
Want More Flexibility? Adjust the Filter
If you're a more aggressive trader or prefer shorter-term signals, you can reduce the EMA length (e.g., to 150, 50, or even 25). This increases the number of setups shown but also raises the importance of additional context and confirmation.
⚠️ Keep in mind:
❌ More signals doesn’t always mean better outcomes
✅ Focused, context-aware signals tend to be more consistent with broader market pressure
If you’re using this in combination with strategies like options trading, this filter can help refine your entry zones especially when paired with other structure or volatility tools.
Distribution Example and Bitcoin Setup Before a Major Drop
In this example, Bitcoin was trading in a relatively tight range while price continued to push upward. However, LiquidEdge began to show signs of volume outflow, which can suggest potential distribution.
Here’s what was observed:
🔴 Price was moving up inside a horizontal range
🔴 LiquidEdge’s slope indicated declining volume pressure
🔴 Several bearish divergence signals appeared during this consolidation phase
🔴 The histogram also showed weakening flow, even before price broke down
These overlapping signals pointed to a possible distribution phase, where buying momentum was fading despite price still holding up.
🧭 Signs to Watch for in Potential Distribution:
1️⃣ Price holding flat or rising slightly within a tight range
2️⃣ Volume pressure (line or histogram) sloping downward
3️⃣ Repeated bearish divergences forming at the highs
4️⃣ Lack of follow-through on bullish setups signaling hesitation in demand
While LiquidEdge can’t predict market outcomes, this scenario demonstrates how a combination of divergence, outflow, and failure to break out may serve as early warnings that momentum is shifting beneath the surface.
Failed Auction Example – Volume Shift Before a Breakdown
In this example, price attempted to break out above a recent high, creating the appearance of a bullish continuation. However, LiquidEdge began to signal volume outflow, despite the upward price move a potential sign of a failed auction.
Here’s what was observed:
👉 Price made a new high, appearing to break resistance
👉 LiquidEdge slope and histogram both showed declining liquidity
👉 The indicator formed lower lows, even as price pushed higher
👉 This divergence suggested that volume wasn’t supporting the breakout
Shortly after, price reversed and returned back inside the range which is a common characteristic of failed auction behavior.
🧭 Spotting a Potential Failed Auction with LiquidEdge:
1️⃣ Price breaks above a recent high
2️⃣ Volume flow (line + histogram) shows outflow, not inflow
3️⃣ Indicator forms lower lows while price makes higher highs (bearish divergence)
4️⃣ Market reverts back into the previous range without follow-through
While no tool can predict outcomes, this setup demonstrated how volume pressure and divergence can help identify moments where a breakout may lack real support offering context before price action confirms the shift.
Reading the Histogram - Spotting Pressure Fades
In this example, price was still rising but the LiquidEdge histogram showed falling volume pressure. This type of divergence between price and volume can serve as a potential early signal that momentum may be fading.
🔻 Histogram levels declined while price continued higher
🔻 This suggested that buying pressure was weakening, even though price hadn’t turned
🔻 Volume flow behavior didn’t support the continuation possibly indicating buyer exhaustion
Just before the peak, the histogram nearly reached its lower threshold, despite price still being near its highs.
💡 How to Read It:
When volume pressure (shown by the histogram) starts to fade while price is still rising, it can indicate that momentum is weakening. This may precede a pullback or reversal particularly if other factors like divergence or zone exhaustion are also present.
Conversely, rising histogram values during a price drop may suggest potential accumulation.
👉 Use the histogram as a volume intensity gauge, not a signal on its own especially when evaluating whether a move is supported by actual flow, or just price momentum.
The Table – Fast, Visual Multi-Timeframe Flow Insight
The multi-timeframe flow table in LiquidEdge provides a consolidated view of volume momentum across several key timeframes so you don’t need to switch between charts to compare flow strength.
👉 Instead of flipping from 5-minute to 15M, 1H, 4H, and Daily, the table displays flow direction on all of them at a glance.
Example layout:
🔼 Daily: Up
🔽 1H: Down
🔼 15M: Up
🔽 5M: Down
This setup gives you a quick read on whether volume momentum is aligned across multiple timeframes or diverging which can help frame your trade approach.
🧠 Why It’s Useful:
✅ Supports timeframe alignment
If higher timeframes show strong inflow while lower ones are mixed, you may interpret it as a swing-based opportunity. If short timeframes show pressure but higher frames are flat, it might suggest short-term setups with caution.
✅ Improves context awareness
Instead of interpreting a move in isolation, the table helps you assess whether short-term signals are part of a broader shift or going against higher timeframe flow.
💡 Pro Tip: Use the table as a starting point in your analysis. It’s a simple but effective snapshot of current liquidity pressure across the board helping you plan trades with broader context, rather than reacting chart-by-chart.
🔚 Final Thoughts
If you're focused on trading with better clarity and structure, LiquidEdge is designed to help you interpret what’s happening beneath the surface not just follow price movement.
While many tools highlight price alone, LiquidEdge combines volume pressure, divergence filtering, and trend-based context to help identify potential areas of accumulation, distribution, or momentum shifts even before they become obvious on a chart.
👉 This isn’t just another signal tool. It’s a framework to support smarter decision-making:
✔️ One that helps you filter out noise
✔️ One that scores setups using multiple layers of confirmation
✔️ One that brings volume context into every trade idea
Whether you're scalping on a 5-minute chart or managing a longer-term swing trade, LiquidEdge is built to help you stay aligned with volume-driven behavior not just react to price alone.
If you've struggled with late entries, unreliable setups, or second-guessing trades, this tool was designed to bring more structure to your process. It won’t remove all uncertainty but it can help you stay more selective, confident, and intentional.
✅ Trade with clarity
✅ Stay process-driven
✅ Focus on structure, not noise
LiquidEdge is not meant to replace your strategy. It’s here to enhance it.
In this chart, the 200 EMA filter was applied. As a result, only signals that aligned with the dominant trend direction were displayed helping to reduce distractions and focus on setups with stronger context.
💡 Using a higher EMA setting like 200 can reduce the number of signals shown, but may help you focus on higher-conviction opportunities.
That said, every trader is different:
Longer EMAs = fewer signals, but more trend-filtered setups
Shorter EMAs = more signals, faster entries but with potentially more noise
👉 Adjust the filter based on your trading style. Use a 200 EMA for swing trading, or reduce it to 50, 25, or even 5 if you're trading more aggressively or intraday.
LiquidEdge adapts to you not the other way around.
🔁 Adjusting EMA for Your Trading Style
Personal Tip: When trading more aggressively, I often use a 5 EMA filter especially when combining histogram strength with other tools. This increases signal responsiveness and may help highlight short-term flow shifts more quickly.
Below are visual examples that show how different EMA lengths impact the behavior of LiquidEdge:
50 EMA ON
25 EMA ON
5 EMA ON
Lower EMA Example – Gold with the 5 EMA
In this example, the 5 EMA filter was applied to Gold. As expected, more signals were plotted compared to higher EMA settings. The tool became more responsive to rapid shifts in volume momentum, making it more suitable for fast-paced trading environments.
This setting can help traders who prefer early entries but it also introduces more sensitivity, so context and additional confirmation become even more important.
Each setting affects signal frequency and filtering:
Higher EMA → fewer signals, more trend-confirmed setups
Lower EMA → more signals, quicker responses, but with more potential for noise
Choose what fits your approach:
Long-term swing → Stick with 200 EMA
Intraday or scalping → Consider shorter EMAs (50, 25, or 5)
💡 Reminder: EMA filtering is fully adjustable. LiquidEdge doesn’t lock you into one trading style it’s meant to adapt to your process, whether you’re swing trading or scalping short-term moves.
But There’s a Catch…
Using a lower EMA setting (like 5) opens up faster, more frequent signals but it also increases the need for precision and stronger trade management.
❗ More signals = More responsiveness
❗ Faster setups mean quicker decisions
❗ Risk control becomes even more important
💡 Lower Timeframes = More Detail, Less Margin for Error
A short EMA (like 5) can help you:
✅ Identify early momentum shifts
✅ Respond before traditional trend-followers
✅ Highlight short-term divergence and volume changes
But it also comes with tradeoffs:
❌ Greater signal noise
❌ Higher potential for misreads or fakeouts
❌ Requires clear structure and disciplined entries
🚩 Watch Out for Liquidity Grabs
In lower timeframes, a common trap is the liquidity grab where price pushes beyond recent highs or lows, triggers stops, then quickly reverses.
📌 These moves can look like breakouts, but often reverse quickly possibly reflecting institutional order placement or low-liquidity manipulation.
🧭 How to Approach It Smartly
✅ Use structure: Mark support and resistance to frame moves
✅ Confirm volume behavior: Is histogram strength rising or fading?
✅ Avoid chasing: Look for confluence, not just a single signal
✅ Be intentional with stops: Place them with structure in mind to avoid being swept out
NASDAQ Futures Example – Low Timeframe Setups with LiquidEdge
In this example, we look at how LiquidEdge was used to identify both short and long setups on the NASDAQ Futures (NQ) particularly on a low timeframe (5M), where quick decision-making and volume precision matter most.
⚠️ A Note on Futures and Volume
When trading futures, especially on intraday charts, it’s important to separate overnight volume from regular session activity.
🕒 Overnight Volume ≠ Real Volume Context
Overnight price action is informative, but the volume data itself may not reflect true market participation. In LiquidEdge, histogram and pressure calculations emphasize regular session flow helping avoid skewed signals that could come from low-volume overnight moves.
Using the Histogram to Spot Potential Shifts
One of the key cues I use is color transition in the histogram:
🔴 A flip from strong green to red can signal fading buying pressure, sometimes marking the beginning of a potential short setup.
🟢 A shift from red to green may indicate that buyers are returning, suggesting possible accumulation.
These shifts serve as early visual cues of changing pressure especially when confirmed by other tools or context.
🔁 Adding Context with the Line + Structure
After spotting a histogram shift, I look at:
1️⃣ Slope Line – Is it confirming the same directional pressure?
2️⃣ Support/Resistance – Are we near a meaningful zone?
3️⃣ Additional Tools – This includes trendlines, VWAP, EMAs, and overall price structure.
On lower timeframes like 5M, these pieces become even more important. LiquidEdge gives directional insight, but your full setup provides confirmation and execution logic.
⚠️ Disclaimer
LiquidEdge is not a signal tool. It’s a visual representation of market pressure and flow designed to help you make more informed trading and investing decisions. It shows you what’s happening beneath the price action but you are still responsible for your decisions.
Always combine LiquidEdge with your own strategy, research, and supporting tools. That includes trend analysis, support/resistance levels, chart patterns, and fundamentals (like P/E ratios, price-to-sales, debt ratios, etc.).

[VC] Cumulative Delta Histogram V1.0The V.C Cumulative Delta Histogram shows the market's ongoing Buying/Selling pressure. It helps to determine whether Supply or Demand is dominating and in control.
➤If the Cumulative Delta Increases, the buyers are in control.➚
➤If the Cumulative Delta Decreases, the sellers are in control.➘
The use cases for this Indicator are vast and correlated with our other Delta Indicators. The following examples will explain how to use this Indicator.
Example 1 EUR / USD
In the above example, Negative Cumulative Delta Decreased & Turned into Positive Cumulative Delta. That indicates that sellers are losing control & buyers are getting power.
As a confirmation on the ' 'Box Chart Histogram'' it is evident that Demand is also increasing.
And on ''Wave Chart Index'' as a 3rd confirmation, you can see that the Delta has also increased compared to previous waves.
Example 2
Positive Delta on Cumulative Delta Histogram is decreasing & Negative Delta started increasing.
On the Box Chart Histogram , Demand is decreasing & Supply is increasing.
Additionally, on the Wave Chart Index , the Delta of the wave is also decreasing.
(in short, besides ''Cumulative Delta Histogram," Box chart Histogram & Wave Chart Index is also adding additional confirmation)
Note: Two types of Delta sources are included in this Cumulative Delta Indicator.
Type A: Simple Delta
Type B: Delta %
Simple Delta is the difference between Net Buying - Selling pressure.
Delta % also works in the same calculation, but a Volume weighted algorithm is applied on it.
You may use any of them that suits your analysis.

Volume Buy/Sell SplitVisually decompose each bar’s total volume into estimated “buy” and “sell” components, so you can instantly see which side—buyers or sellers—dominated on each candle.
Key Features
Total Volume Base
A solid grey histogram shows the absolute volume on every bar.
Buy vs. Sell Split
Buying Volume is calculated as
```volume × (close – low) / (high – low)```
Selling Volume is calculated as
```volume × (high – close) / (high – low)```
These estimates assume that when price closes near the high, more of that bar’s volume was “aggressive buying,” and vice versa.
Dynamic Stacking
The larger of the two components (buying vs. selling) is plotted directly on top of the grey base, in blue (if buying dominates) or yellow (if selling dominates).
The smaller component is plotted above that, in the complementary color, so the full column still represents total volume.
30‑Bar Average Marker
A thin purple line appears at the 30‑bar simple moving average of volume—but only on bars where volume exceeds that average—helping you spot volume spikes at a glance.
How to Interpret
Tall grey columns = high total volume bars.
Blue‑tinted sections = buying pressure; yellow‑tinted sections = selling pressure.
When the blue (buy) portion is larger, buyers had the upper hand; a larger yellow portion indicates sellers dominated.
Purple markers highlight bars where volume is above its 30‑period average, drawing your eye to unusually active sessions.
Usage Notes
Overlay: false (panel below price)
No external inputs to adjust—plug and play.
Ideal for spotting divergences between price and volume aggression, confirming breakouts, or identifying potential exhaustion moves when one side’s volume spikes.
Add this script to your charts to gain clear, color‑coded insights into buying vs. selling activity on every candle.
Volume Range Profile with Fair Value (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Volume Range Profile with Fair Value (Zeiierman) is a precision-built volume-mapping tool designed to help traders visualize where institutional-level activity is occurring within the price range — and how that volume behavior shifts over time.
Unlike traditional volume profiles that rely on fixed session boundaries or static anchors, this tool dynamically calculates and displays volume zones across both the upper and lower ends of a price range, revealing point-of-control (POC) levels, directional volume flow, and a fair value drift line that updates live with each candle.
You’re not just looking at volume anymore. You’re dissecting who’s in control — and at what price.
⚪ In simple terms:
Upper Zone = The upper portion of the price range, showing concentrated volume activity — typically where selling or distribution may occur
Lower Zone = The lower portion of the price range, highlighting areas of high volume — often associated with buying or accumulation
POC Bin = The bin (price level) with the highest traded volume in the zone — considered the most accepted price by the market
Fair Value Trend = A dynamic trend line tracking the average POC price over time — visualizing the evolving fair value
Zone Labels = Display real-time breakdown of buy/sell volume within each zone and inside the POC — revealing who’s in control
█ How It Works
⚪ Volume Zones
Upper Zone: Anchored at the highest high in the lookback period
Lower Zone: Anchored at the lowest low in the lookback period
Width is user-defined via % of range
Each zone is divided into a series of volume bins
⚪ Volume Bins (Histograms)
Each zone is split into N bins that show how much volume occurred at each level:
Taller = More volume
The POC bin (Point of Control) is highlighted
Labels show % of volume in the POC relative to the whole zone
⚪ Buy vs Sell Breakdown
Each volume bin is split by:
Buy Volume = Close ≥ Open
Sell Volume = Close < Open
The script accumulates these and displays total Buy/Sell volume per zone.
⚪ Fair Value Drift Line
A POC trend is plotted over time:
Represents where volume was most active across each range
Color changes dynamically — green for rising, red for falling
Serves as a real-time fair value anchor across changing market structure
█ How to Use
⚪ Identify Key Control Zones
Use Upper/Lower Zone structures to understand where supply and demand is building.
Zones automatically adapt to recent highs/lows and re-center volume accordingly.
⚪ Follow Institutional Activity
Watch for POC clustering near price tops or bottoms.
Large volumes near extremes may indicate accumulation or distribution.
⚪ Spot Fair Value Drift
The fair value trend line (average POC price) gives insight into market equilibrium.
One strategy can be to trade a re-test of the fair value trend, trades are taken in the direction of the current trend.
█ Understanding Buy & Sell Volume Labels (Zone Totals)
These labels show the total buy and sell volume accumulated within each zone over the selected lookback period:
Buy Vol (green label) → Total volume where candles closed bullish
Sell Vol (red label) → Total volume where candles closed bearish
Together, they tell you which side dominated:
Higher Buy Vol → Bullish accumulation zone
Higher Sell Vol → Bearish distribution zone
This gives a quick visual insight into who controlled the zone, helping you spot areas of demand or supply imbalance.
█ Understanding POC Volume Labels
The POC (Point of Control) represents the price level where the most volume occurred within the zone. These labels break down that volume into:
Buy % – How much of the volume was buying (price closed up)
Sell % – How much was selling (price closed down)
Total % – How much of the entire zone’s volume happened at the POC
Use it to spot strong demand or supply zones:
High Buy % + High Total % → Strong buying interest = likely support
High Sell % + High Total % → Strong selling pressure = likely resistance
It gives a deeper look into who was in control at the most important price level.
█ Why It’s Useful
Track where fair value is truly forming
Detect aggressive volume accumulation or dumping
Visually split buyer/seller control at the most relevant price levels
Adapt volume structures to current trend direction
█ Settings Explained
Lookback Period: Number of bars to scan for highs/lows. Higher = smoother zones, Lower = reactive.
Zone Width (% of Range): Controls how much of the range is used to define each zone. Higher = broader zones.
Bins per Zone: Number of volume slices per zone. Higher = more detail, but heavier on resources.

Puts vs Longs vs Price Oscillator SwiftEdgeWhat is this Indicator?
The "Low-Latency Puts vs Longs vs Price Oscillator" is a custom technical indicator built for TradingView to help traders visualize buying and selling activity in a market without access to order book data. It displays three lines in an oscillator below the price chart:
Green Line (Longs): Represents the strength of buying activity (bullish pressure).
Red Line (Puts): Represents the strength of selling activity (bearish pressure).
Yellow Line (Price): Shows the asset’s price in a scaled format for direct comparison.
The indicator uses price movements, volume, and momentum to estimate when buyers or sellers are active, providing a quick snapshot of market dynamics. It’s optimized for fast response to price changes (low latency), making it useful for both short-term and longer-term trading strategies.
How Does it Work?
Since TradingView doesn’t provide direct access to order book data (which shows real-time buy and sell orders), this indicator approximates buying and selling pressure using commonly available data: price, volume, and a momentum measure called Rate of Change (ROC). Here’s how it combines these elements:
Price Movement: The indicator checks if the price is rising or falling compared to the previous candlestick. A rising price suggests buying (longs), while a falling price suggests selling (puts).
Volume: Volume acts as a "weight" to measure the strength of these price moves. Higher volume during a price increase boosts the green line, while higher volume during a price decrease boosts the red line. This mimics how large orders in an order book would influence the market.
Rate of Change (ROC): ROC measures how fast the price is changing over a set period (e.g., 5 candlesticks). It adds a momentum filter—strong upward momentum reinforces buying signals, while strong downward momentum reinforces selling signals.
These components are calculated for each candlestick and summed over a short lookback period (e.g., 5 candlesticks) to create the green and red lines. The yellow line is simply the asset’s closing price scaled down to fit the oscillator’s range, allowing you to compare buying/selling strength directly with price action.
Why Combine These Elements?
The combination of price, volume, and ROC is intentional and synergistic:
Price alone isn’t enough—it tells you what happened but not how strong the move was.
Volume adds context by showing the intensity behind price changes, much like how order book volume indicates real buying or selling interest.
ROC ensures the indicator captures momentum, filtering out weak or random price moves and focusing on significant trends, similar to how aggressive order execution might appear in an order book.
Together, they create a balanced picture of market activity that’s more reliable than any single factor alone. The goal is to simulate the insights you’d get from an order book—where you’d see buy/sell imbalances—using data available in TradingView.
How to Use It
Setup:
Add the indicator to your chart via TradingView’s Pine Editor by copying and pasting the script.
Adjust the inputs to suit your trading style:
Lookback Period: Number of candlesticks (default 5) to sum buying/selling activity. Shorter = more responsive; longer = smoother.
Price Scale Factor: Scales the yellow price line (default 0.001). Increase for high-priced assets (e.g., 0.01 for indices like DAX) or decrease for low-priced ones (e.g., 0.0001 for crypto).
ROC Period: Candlesticks for momentum calculation (default 5). Shorter = faster response.
ROC Weight: How much momentum affects the signal (default 0.5). Higher = stronger momentum influence.
Volume Threshold: Minimum volume multiplier (default 1.5) to boost signals during high activity.
Reading the Oscillator:
Green Line Above Yellow: Strong buying pressure—price is rising with volume and momentum support. Consider this a bullish signal.
Red Line Above Yellow: Strong selling pressure—price is falling with volume and momentum support. Consider this a bearish signal.
Green/Red Crossovers: When the green line crosses above the red, it suggests buyers are taking control. When the red crosses above the green, sellers may be dominating.
Yellow Line Context: Compare green/red lines to the yellow price line to see if buying/selling strength aligns with price trends.
Trading Examples:
Bullish Setup: Green line spikes above yellow after a price breakout with high volume (e.g., DAX opening jump). Enter a long position if confirmed by other indicators.
Bearish Setup: Red line rises above yellow during a price drop with increasing volume. Look for a short opportunity.
Reversal Warning: If the green line stays high while price (yellow) flattens or drops, it could signal overbought conditions—be cautious.
What Makes It Unique?
Unlike traditional oscillators like RSI or MACD, which focus solely on price momentum or trends, this indicator blends price, volume, and momentum into a three-line system that mimics order book dynamics. Its low-latency design (short lookback and no heavy smoothing) makes it react quickly to market shifts, ideal for volatile markets like DAX or forex. The visual separation of buying (green) and selling (red) against price (yellow) offers a clear, intuitive way to spot imbalances without needing complex data.
Tips and Customization
Volatile Markets: Use a shorter lookback (e.g., 3) and ROC period (e.g., 3) for faster signals.
Stable Markets: Increase lookback (e.g., 10) for smoother, less noisy lines.
Scaling: If the green/red lines dwarf the yellow, adjust Price Scale Factor up (e.g., 0.01) to balance them.
Experiment: Test on your asset (stocks, crypto, indices) and tweak inputs to match its behavior.

Twiggs Money FlowTwiggs Money Flow (TMF)
This indicator is an implementation of the Twiggs Money Flow (TMF), a volume-based tool designed to measure buying and selling pressure over a specified period. TMF is an enhancement of Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), utilizing more sophisticated smoothing techniques for improved accuracy and reduced noise. This version is highly customizable and includes advanced features for both new and experienced traders.
What is Twiggs Money Flow?
Twiggs Money Flow was developed by Colin Twiggs to provide a clearer picture of market momentum and the balance between buyers and sellers. It uses a combination of price action, trading volume, and range calculations to assess whether a market is under buying or selling pressure.
Unlike traditional volume indicators, TMF incorporates Weighted Moving Averages (WMA) by default but allows for other moving average types (SMA, EMA, VWMA) for added flexibility. This makes it adaptable to various trading styles and market conditions.
Features of This Script:
Customizable Moving Average Types:
Select from SMA , EMA , WMA , or VWMA to smooth volume and price-based calculations.
Tailor the indicator to align with your trading strategy or the asset's behavior.
Optional HMA Smoothing:
Apply Hull Moving Average (HMA) smoothing for a cleaner, faster-reacting TMF line.
Perfect for traders who want to reduce lag and capture trends earlier.
Dynamic Thresholds for Signal Filtering:
Set user-defined thresholds for Long (LT) and Short (ST) signals to highlight significant momentum.
Focus on actionable trends by ignoring noise around neutral levels.
Bar Coloring for Visual Clarity:
Automatically colors your chart bars based on TMF values:
Aqua for strong bullish signals (above the long threshold).
Fuchsia for strong bearish signals (below the short threshold).
Gray for neutral or undecided market conditions.
Ensures that trend direction and strength are visually intuitive.
Configurable Lookback Period:
Adjust the sensitivity of TMF by customizing the length of the lookback period to suit different timeframes and market conditions.
How It Works:
True Range Calculation: The script determines the high, low, and close range to calculate buying and selling pressure.
Adjusted Volume: Incorporates the relationship between price and volume to gauge whether trading activity is favoring buyers or sellers.
Weighted Moving Averages (WMAs): Smooths both volume and adjusted volume values to eliminate erratic fluctuations.
TMF Line: Computes the ratio of adjusted volume to total volume, representing the net buying/selling pressure as a percentage.
HMA Option (if enabled): Smooths the TMF line further to reduce lag and enhance trend identification.
Bar Coloring Logic:
Bars are colored dynamically based on TMF values, thresholds, and smoothing preferences.
Provides an at-a-glance understanding of market conditions.
Input Parameters:
Lookback Period: Defines the number of bars used to calculate TMF (default: 21).
Use HMA Smoothing: Toggle Hull Moving Average smoothing (default: true).
HMA Smoothing Length: Length of the HMA smoothing period (default: 14).
Moving Average Type: Select SMA, EMA, WMA, or VWMA (default: WMA).
Long Threshold (LT): Threshold value above which a long signal is considered (default: 0).
Short Threshold (ST): Threshold value below which a short signal is considered (default: 0).
How to Use It:
Confirm Trends: TMF can validate trends by identifying periods of sustained buying or selling pressure.
Divergence Signals: Watch for divergences between price and TMF to anticipate potential reversals.
Filter Trades: Use the thresholds to ignore weak signals and focus on strong trends.
Combine with Other Indicators: Pair TMF with trend-following or momentum indicators (e.g., RSI, Bollinger Bands) for a comprehensive trading strategy.
Example Use Cases:
Spotting breakouts when TMF crosses above the long threshold.
Identifying sell-offs when TMF dips below the short threshold.
Avoiding sideways markets by ignoring neutral (gray) bars.
Notes:
This indicator is highly customizable, making it versatile across different assets (e.g., stocks, crypto, forex).
While the default settings are robust, tweaking the lookback period, moving average type, and thresholds is recommended for different trading instruments or strategies.
Always backtest thoroughly before applying the indicator to live trading.
This version of Twiggs Money Flow goes beyond standard implementations by offering advanced smoothing, custom thresholds, and enhanced visual feedback to give traders a competitive edge.

How does the indicator calculate the current range?
The indicator calculates the current range by analyzing swing points from the very first bar on your charts to the latest available bar it identifies external liquidity levels, also known as BSLQ (buy-side liquidity levels) and SSLQ (sell-side liquidity levels).
What's the purpose of these levels? What are the underlying calculations?
1. Understanding Swing highs and Swing Lows
Swing High: A Swing High is formed when there is a high with 2 lower highs to the left and right.
Swing Low: A Swing Low is formed when there is a low with 2 higher lows to the left and right.
2. Understanding the purpose and the underlying calculations behind Buyside, Sellside and Pivot levels.
3. Identifying Discount and Premium Zones.
4. Importance of Risk-Reward in Premium and Discount Ranges
How does the script calculate probabilities?
The script calculates the probability of each liquidity level individually. Here's the breakdown:
1. Upon the formation of a new range, the script waits for the price to reach and tap into pivot level level. Status: "■" - Inactive
2. Once pivot level is tapped into, the pivot status becomes activated and it waits for either liquidity side to be hit. Status: "▶" - Active
3. If the buyside liquidity is hit, the script adds to the count of successful buyside liquidity occurrences. Similarly, if the sellside is tapped, it records successful sellside liquidity occurrences.
4. Finally, the number of successful occurrences for each side is divided by the overall count individually to calculate the range probabilities.
Note: The calculations are performed independently for each directional range. A range is considered bearish if the previous breakout was through a sellside liquidity. Conversely, a range is considered bullish if the most recent breakout was through a buyside liquidity.
What does the multi-timeframe functionality offer?
You can incorporate up to 4 higher timeframe probabilities directly into the table.
This feature allows you to analyze the probabilities of buyside and sellside liquidity across multiple timeframes, without the need to manually switch between them.
By viewing these higher timeframe probabilities in one place, traders can spot larger market trends and refine their entries and exits with a better understanding of the overall market context.
What are the multi-timeframe underlying calculations?
The script uses the same calculations (mentioned above) and uses security function to request the data such as price levels, bar time, probabilities and booleans from the user-input timeframe.
How does the Indicator Identifies Positive Expected Values?
Quantify instantly calculates whether a trade setup has the potential to generate positive expected value (EV).
To determine a positive EV setup, the indicator uses the formula:
EV = ( P(Win) × R(Win) ) − ( P(Loss) × R(Loss))
where:
- P(Win) is the probability of a winning trade.
- R(Win) is the reward or return for a winning trade, determined by the current risk-to-reward ratio (RR).
- P(Loss) is the probability of a losing trade.
- R(Loss) is the loss incurred per losing trade, typically assumed to be -1.
By calculating these values based on historical data and the current trading setup, the indicator helps you understand whether your trade has a positive expected value.
How can I know that the setup I'm going to trade with has a positive EV?
If the indicator detects that the adjusted pivot and buy/sell side probabilities have generated positive expected value (EV) in historical data, the risk-to-reward (RR) label within the range box will be colored blue and red .
If the setup does not produce positive EV, the RR label will appear gray.
This indicates that even the risk-to-reward ratio is greater than 1:1, the setup is not likely to yield a positive EV because, according to historical data, the number of losses outweighs the number of wins relative to the RR gain per winning trade.
What is the confidence level in the indicator, and how is it determined?
The confidence level in the indicator reflects the reliability of the probabilities calculated based on historical data. It is determined by the sample size of the probabilities used in the calculations. A larger sample size generally increases the confidence level, indicating that the probabilities are more reliable and consistent with past performance.
How does the confidence level affect the risk-to-reward (RR) label?
The confidence level (★) is visually represented alongside the probability label. A higher confidence level indicates that the probabilities used to determine the RR label are based on a larger and more reliable sample size.
How can traders use the confidence level to make better trading decisions?
Traders can use the confidence level to gauge the reliability of the probabilities and expected value (EV) calculations provided by the indicator. A confidence level above 95% is considered statistically significant and indicates that the historical data supporting the probabilities is robust. This high confidence level suggests that the probabilities are reliable and that the indicator’s recommendations are more likely to be accurate.
In data science and statistics, a confidence level above 95% generally means that there is less than a 5% chance that the observed results are due to random variation. This threshold is widely accepted in research and industry as a marker of statistical significance. Studies such as those published in the Journal of Statistical Software and the American Statistical Association support this threshold, emphasizing that a confidence level above 95% provides a strong assurance of data reliability and validity.
Conversely, a confidence level below 95% indicates that the sample size may be insufficient and that the data might be less reliable. In such cases, traders should approach the indicator’s recommendations with caution and consider additional factors or further analysis before making trading decisions.
How does the sample size affect the confidence level, and how does it relate to my TradingView plan?
The sample size for calculating the confidence level is directly influenced by the amount of historical data available on your charts. A larger sample size typically leads to more reliable probabilities and higher confidence levels.
Here’s how the TradingView plans affect your data access:
Essential Plan
The Essential Plan provides basic data access with a limited amount of historical data. This can lead to smaller sample sizes and lower confidence levels, which may weaken the robustness of your probability calculations. Suitable for casual traders who do not require extensive historical analysis.
Plus Plan
The Plus Plan offers more historical data than the Essential Plan, allowing for larger sample sizes and more accurate confidence levels. This enhancement improves the reliability of indicator calculations. This plan is ideal for more active traders looking to refine their strategies with better data.
Premium Plan
The Premium Plan grants access to extensive historical data, enabling the largest sample sizes and the highest confidence levels. This plan provides the most reliable data for accurate calculations, with up to 20,000 historical bars available for analysis. It is designed for serious traders who need comprehensive data for in-depth market analysis.
PRO+ Plans
The PRO+ Plans offer the most extensive historical data, allowing for the largest sample sizes and the highest confidence levels. These plans are tailored for professional traders who require advanced features and significant historical data to support their trading strategies effectively.
For many traders, the Premium Plan offers a good balance of affordability and sufficient sample size for accurate confidence levels.
What is the HTF probability table and how does it work?
The HTF (Higher Time Frame) probability table is a feature that allows you to view buy and sellside probabilities and their status from timeframes higher than your current chart timeframe.
Here’s how it works:
Data Request: The table requests and retrieves data from user-defined higher timeframes (HTFs) that you select.
Probability Display: It displays the buy and sellside probabilities for each of these HTFs, providing insights into the likelihood of price movements based on higher timeframe data.
Detailed Tooltips: The table includes detailed tooltips for each timeframe, offering additional context and explanations to help you understand the data better.
What do the different colors in the HTF probability table indicate?
The colors in the HTF probability table provide visual cues about the expected value (EV) of trading setups based on higher timeframe probabilities:
Blue: Suggests that entering a long position from the HTF user-defined pivot point, targeting buyside liquidity, is likely to result in a positive expected value (EV) based on historical data and sample size.
Red: Indicates that entering a short position from the HTF user-defined pivot point, targeting sellside liquidity, is likely to result in a positive expected value (EV) based on historical data and sample size.
Gray: Shows that neither long nor short trades from the HTF user-defined pivot point are expected to generate positive EV, suggesting that trading these setups may not be favorable.
What machine learning techniques are used in Quantify?
Quantify offers two main machine learning approaches:
1. Adaptive Learning (Fixed Sample Size): The algorithm learns from the entire dataset without resampling, maintaining a stable model that adapts to the latest market conditions.
2. Bootstrap Resampling: This method creates multiple subsets of the historical data, allowing the model to train on varying sample sizes. This technique enhances the robustness of predictions by ensuring that the model is not overfitting to a single dataset.
How does machine learning affect the expected value calculations in Quantify?
Machine learning plays a key role in improving the accuracy of expected value (EV) calculations. By analyzing historical price action, liquidity hits, and market bias patterns, the model continuously adjusts its understanding of risk and reward, allowing the expected value to reflect the most likely market movements. This results in more precise EV predictions, helping traders focus on setups that maximize profitability.
What is the Kelly Criterion, and how does it work in Quantify?
The Kelly Criterion is a mathematical formula used to determine the optimal position size for each trade, maximizing long-term growth while minimizing the risk of large drawdowns. It calculates the percentage of your portfolio to risk on a trade based on the probability of winning and the expected payoff.
Quantify integrates this with user-defined inputs to dynamically calculate the most effective position size in percentage, aligning with the trader’s risk tolerance and desired exposure.
How does Quantify use the Kelly Criterion in practice?
Quantify uses the Kelly Criterion to optimize position sizing based on the following factors:
1. Confidence Level: The model assesses the confidence level in the trade setup based on historical data and sample size. A higher confidence level increases the suggested position size because the trade has a higher probability of success.
2. Max Allowed Drawdown (User-Defined): Traders can set their preferred maximum allowed drawdown, which dictates how much loss is acceptable before reducing position size or stopping trading. Quantify uses this input to ensure that risk exposure aligns with the trader’s risk tolerance.
3. Probabilities: Quantify calculates the probabilities of success for each trade setup. The higher the probability of a successful trade (based on historical price action and liquidity levels), the larger the position size suggested by the Kelly Criterion.
What is a trailing stoploss, and how does it work in Quantify?
A trailing stoploss is a dynamic risk management tool that moves with the price as the market trend continues in the trader’s favor. Unlike a fixed take profit, which stays at a set level, the trailing stoploss automatically adjusts itself as the market moves, locking in profits as the price advances.
In Quantify, the trailing stoploss is enhanced by incorporating market structure liquidity levels (explain above). This ensures that the stoploss adjusts intelligently based on key price levels, allowing the trader to stay in the trade as long as the trend remains intact, while also protecting profits if the market reverses.
Why would a trader prefer a trailing stoploss based on liquidity levels instead of a fixed take-profit level?
Traders who use trailing stoplosses based on liquidity levels prefer this method because:
1. Market-Driven Flexibility: The stoploss follows the market structure rather than being static at a pre-defined level. This means the stoploss is less likely to be hit by small market fluctuations or false reversals. The stoploss remains adaptive, moving as the market moves.
2. Riding the Trend: Traders can capture more profit during a sustained trend because the trailing stop will adjust only when the trend starts to reverse significantly, based on key liquidity levels. This allows them to hold positions longer without prematurely locking in profits.
3. Avoiding Premature Exits: Fixed stoploss levels may exit a trade too early in volatile markets, while liquidity-based trailing stoploss levels respect the natural flow of price action, preventing the trader from exiting too soon during pullbacks or minor retracements.
🎲 Becoming the House: Gaining an Edge Over the Market
In American roulette, the casino has a 5.26% edge due to the presence of the 0 and 00 pockets. On even-money bets, players face a 47.37% chance of winning, while true 50/50 odds would require a 50% chance. This edge—the gap between the payout odds and the true probabilities—ensures that, statistically, the casino will always win over time, even if individual players win occasionally.
From a Trader’s Perspective
In trading, your edge comes from identifying and executing setups with a positive expected value (EV). For example:
• If you identify a setup with a 55.48% chance of winning and a 1:1 risk-to-reward (RR) ratio, your trade has a statistical advantage over a neutral (50/50) probability.
This edge works in your favor when applied consistently across a series of trades, just as the casino’s edge ensures profitability across thousands of spins.
🎰 Applying the Concept to Trading
Like casinos leverage their mathematical edge in games of chance, you can achieve long-term success in trading by focusing on setups with positive EV and managing your trades systematically. Here’s how:
1. Probability Advantage: Prioritize trades where the probability of success (win rate) exceeds the breakeven rate for your chosen risk-to-reward ratio.
• Example: With a 1:1 RR, you need a win rate above 50% to achieve positive EV.
2. Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RR): Even with a win rate below 50%, you can gain an edge by increasing your RR (e.g., a 40% win rate with a 2:1 RR still has positive EV).
3. Consistency and Discipline: Just as casinos profit by sticking to their mathematical advantage over thousands of spins, traders must rely on their edge across many trades, avoiding emotional decisions or overleveraging.
By targeting favorable probabilities and managing trades effectively, you “become the house” in your trading. This approach allows you to leverage statistical advantages to enhance your overall performance and achieve sustainable profitability.
What Makes the Quantify Indicator Original?
1. Data-Driven Edge
Unlike traditional indicators that rely on static formulas, Quantify leverages probability-based analysis and machine learning. It calculates expected value (EV) and confidence levels to help traders identify setups with a true statistical edge.
2. Integration of Market Structure
Quantify uses market structure liquidity levels to dynamically adapt. It identifies key zones like swing highs/lows and liquidity traps, enabling users to align entries and exits with where the market is most likely to react. This bridges the gap between price action analysis and quantitative trading.
3. Sophisticated Risk Management
The Kelly Criterion implementation is unique. Quantify allows traders to input their maximum allowed drawdown, dynamically adjusting risk exposure to maintain optimal position sizing. This ensures risk is scientifically controlled while maximizing potential growth.
4. Multi-Timeframe and Liquidity-Based Trailing Stops
The indicator doesn’t just suggest fixed profit-taking levels. It offers market structure-based trailing stop-loss functionality, letting traders ride trends as long as liquidity and probabilities favor the position, which is rare in most tools.
5. Customizable Bias and Adaptive Learning
• Directional Bias: Traders can set a bullish or bearish bias, and the indicator recalculates probabilities to align with the trader’s market outlook.
• Adaptive Learning: The machine learning model adapts to changes in data (via resampling or bootstrap methods), ensuring that predictions stay relevant in evolving markets.
6. Positive EV Focus
The focus on positive EV setups differentiates it from reactive indicators. It shifts trading from chasing signals to acting on setups that statistically favor profitability, akin to how professional quant funds operate.
7. User Empowerment
Through features like customizable timeframes, real-time probability updates, and visualization tools, Quantify empowers users to make data-informed decisions.

Primary Buy Signals (B1-B10)
Special Indicators (HH, ED)
Understanding Buy Signals
B1: Follow-Through Day (FTD)
Buy on the initial FTD with volume higher than the previous day. You may use an FTD from an index other than the NASDAQ:IXIC , but if you do, you must stay within that index for future Buy and Sell Signals.
B2: Additional Follow-Through
Buy on all additional follow-through days within 25 days from a rally day that closes above the low of the initial follow-through day.
B3: Low Above EMA21
Buy on an up or flat day when the intraday low is at or above the EMA21. Note: Once you have a B3 or B4, you can't have another until it is reset by an S5.
Special Buy Indicators
HH: Higher High (No FTD after Rally)
Triggers when current close exceeds highest point since last confirmed rally. Must not have a Follow-Through Day (FTD). Buy switch turns on when close exceeds last rally's high and turns off if close drops below that high.
ED: Expired Days
Tracks Distribution and Stalling days that have aged out. Days are tracked for a specific trading period and expired days are removed from the count.
Index Rise Settings
Index Rise 6% from DD & SD
Toggle to enable/disable monitoring of price rises above Distribution and Stalling Days. Default value of 6% (adjustable) for monitoring rises above these days.
Understanding Index Rise
This feature tracks significant market recoveries by monitoring when the index rises substantially above Distribution Days (DD) or Stalling Days (SD). When the index rises 6% or more above the closing price of any DD or SD, it indicates a strong market recovery. This is an important signal because it helps identify when the market has shown enough strength to potentially overcome previous distribution periods. When triggered, this signal reduces the distribution day count, effectively acknowledging that the previous distribution pattern may no longer be as relevant due to the market's strong recovery.

MTFHTS with Moving Average Ribbon and Buy/Sell Signals 3.2Multi-Timeframe Moving Average Strategy with Buy and Sell Signals
Purpose
This strategy is designed to provide clear, data-driven buy and sell signals based on moving average crossovers across multiple timeframes. It aims to help traders identify potential trend reversals and entry/exit points using a systematic approach.
How it Works
Moving Averages Across Multiple Timeframes:
Five customizable moving averages (MA №1 to MA №5) are calculated using different lengths and types, including SMA, EMA, WMA, and VWMA, to suit various trading styles.
The MAs are plotted on different timeframes, allowing traders to visualize trend alignment and identify market momentum across short, medium, and long terms.
Signals for Buying and Selling:
Buy Signals: When the shorter-term MA (MA №1) crosses above a longer-term MA (MA №2 or MA №3), the strategy triggers a buy signal, indicating potential upward momentum.
Sell Signals: When MA №1 crosses below a longer-term MA (MA №2 or MA №3), a sell signal is triggered, suggesting potential downward movement.
Visual Aids and Alerts:
The strategy uses color fills between MAs to indicate bullish (green) or bearish (red) trends, helping traders assess market conditions at a glance.
Alerts for buy and sell signals keep traders notified in real-time, helping to avoid missed opportunities.
Important Note
This strategy is purely educational and does not constitute investment advice. It serves as a tool to help traders understand how multi-timeframe moving averages and crossovers can be used in technical analysis. As with any trading strategy, we recommend testing in a simulated environment and exercising caution.
Custom 4 Moving Averages with Styles & ThresholdsThis Pine Script indicator is designed to provide traders with a unique method of analyzing price action through four customizable moving averages, alongside buy and sell threshold detection. The script is fully original and adds value by allowing traders to configure and visualize multiple MAs with different smoothing options, and by detecting critical buy/sell moments based on the interaction between price and the moving averages.
What the Script Does:
Custom Moving Averages: The script plots four distinct moving averages (MA1, MA2, MA3, and MA4) on the chart. Each MA can be configured for length, offset, and optional smoothing to match different trading strategies. This flexibility allows traders to tailor the script for various timeframes, trend detection, and market conditions.
Buy (BT) and Sell (ST) Threshold Detection: The indicator identifies critical points for buying and selling:
Buy Threshold (BT): The script identifies potential buy points when the current candle's low is above the MA2 from the previous candle, suggesting potential upward momentum.
Sell Threshold (ST): It detects potential sell points when the current MA2 falls below the previous candle’s low, indicating possible downward momentum. These thresholds are clearly marked on the chart with green arrows for BT (Buy) and red arrows for ST (Sell).
Horizontal Threshold Lines: Horizontal lines are drawn when BT or ST conditions are met. These lines help traders visualize support and resistance levels, providing clarity in decision-making. The length of these lines is customizable, allowing users to control how long they remain visible on the chart.
Dynamic Cleanup of Old Lines: To keep the chart clean and reduce clutter, the script automatically removes old BT and ST lines after a set period, ensuring that traders can focus on the most relevant data.
Underlying Concepts:
Moving Averages: Moving averages are a fundamental tool in technical analysis for identifying trends. This script uses various moving averages (calculated from high, low, close, and HL2) and allows for smoothing to adjust the sensitivity to price movements. Traders can apply this flexibility to multiple trading styles, from scalping to swing trading.
Threshold Conditions: The buy and sell conditions in this script are based on simple but effective price action patterns, where the interaction between price and MA2 determines entry or exit points. This approach is useful in trend-following strategies, where traders aim to capitalize on momentum shifts.
How to Use the Script:
Configure Moving Averages: Start by adjusting the lengths, offsets, and smoothing options for each moving average. For short-term trading, shorter MA lengths might be more suitable, while longer MAs can help identify broader trends.
Observe Buy and Sell Signals: Look for green arrows (BT) as potential buy signals and red arrows (ST) as potential sell signals. These signals appear when certain conditions between price and MA2 are met, giving traders clear visual cues for entries and exits.
Support/Resistance Levels: Pay attention to the horizontal lines drawn when BT or ST conditions occur. These lines can act as support or resistance levels, helping you identify potential price targets or stop-loss points.
Why This Script is Useful:
This indicator combines the power of multiple moving averages with customizable features, making it versatile for different market conditions. By adding clear buy and sell signals based on a logical threshold system, the script helps traders make informed decisions with minimal guesswork. Unlike many basic indicators, this one provides flexibility and original insight into market dynamics, making it a valuable tool for both beginner and experienced traders.
Delta Dashboard with Custom Candle Count "Delta Dashboard with Custom Candle Count," creates a dynamic table on a chart that shows Buying Delta, Selling Delta, and Cumulative Delta for a user-defined number of candles. It is designed to give traders an easy-to-read visual dashboard for analyzing volume-based deltas, potentially helping to identify bullish or bearish trends.
Script Overview:
Custom Timeframe Input: The user has the option to enable a custom lower timeframe (useCustomTimeframeInput). If enabled, the script uses the lowerTimeframeInput (default is 1 minute) to request data from a lower timeframe. If not enabled, the script automatically selects a timeframe based on the chart’s current settings.
Candle Count Input: The script allows the user to specify the number of candles (numCandlesInput) for which they want to track volume deltas. This input determines how many columns are included in the delta dashboard.
Proportional Buy/Sell Volume Calculation: The script calculates the buy and sell volume for each candle. The buy volume is based on how much the price has moved up from the low, while the sell volume is based on how much the price has moved down from the high. The total volume is then split between buyers and sellers for a more accurate volume-based analysis.
Lower Timeframe Volume Data: The script requests volume data from the lower timeframe and uses it to calculate the positive (buying) and negative (selling) volume arrays over the specified number of candles.
Cumulative Delta: The cumulative delta is calculated as the difference between buying volume (positiveVolume) and selling volume (negativeVolume). The delta is accumulated over the day, and it resets at the start of each new day.
Dashboard Creation: The script creates a table (deltaTable) that is displayed on the chart, showing the following for each candle:
Buying Delta: The volume of buy orders.
Selling Delta: The volume of sell orders.
Cumulative Delta: The net difference between buying and selling volumes over the course of the day.
Dynamic Table Updating: The table updates with each new candle. The current candle's data is dynamically added to the table, and older candles shift to the left. When the maximum number of candles (as defined by numCandlesInput) is reached, the table wraps around, continuously updating with the latest data.
Abnormal Volume Detection: The script highlights candles where abnormal volume is detected. If the buying or selling volume for a particular candle is greater than twice the 50-period moving average volume, it highlights the respective cells in the table with shaded background colors:
Green: Indicates abnormal buying volume.
Red: Indicates abnormal selling volume.
Blue: Highlights abnormal cumulative delta spikes.
Daily Reset: The script automatically clears the table at the start of each new day, ensuring that the dashboard only reflects data from the current trading day.
How to Use:
Adding to Chart: To use this script, apply it to your TradingView chart. The dashboard will automatically appear in the upper left corner of the chart, showing volume-based delta data for each candle.
Customizing Timeframe: If you want to use a different timeframe for delta calculation (e.g., 1-second or 1-minute chart data), enable the Use Custom Timeframe option and specify the desired timeframe in the input section.
Adjusting the Number of Candles: You can adjust the number of candles shown in the delta dashboard by changing the Number of Candles input. The script will track the volume deltas for this number of candles, displaying them in the dashboard.
Interpreting the Dashboard:
Buying Delta: A higher positive value indicates stronger buying pressure in that candle.
Selling Delta: A higher negative value indicates stronger selling pressure in that candle.
Cumulative Delta: This value gives the net result of buying versus selling pressure across the trading day. Positive cumulative delta suggests buying dominance, while negative cumulative delta suggests selling dominance.
Abnormal Volume Detection: When abnormal volume spikes occur, pay attention to highlighted rows:
Green cells show that buying volume is unusually high.
Red cells indicate unusually high selling volume.
Blue cells mark large spikes in cumulative delta.
This script can be particularly useful for traders who want to gauge market sentiment based on volume distribution and detect abnormal trading activity, which could precede significant price movements.
OrderFlow [Adjustable] | FractalystWhat's the indicator's purpose and functionality?
This indicator is designed to assist traders in identifying real-time probabilities of buyside and sellside liquidity .
It allows for an adjustable pivot level , enabling traders to customize the level they want to use for their entries.
By doing so, traders can evaluate whether their chosen entry point would yield a positive expected value over a large sample size, optimizing their strategy for long-term profitability.
For advanced traders looking to enhance their analysis, the indicator supports the incorporation of up to 7 higher timeframe biases .
Additionally, the higher timeframe pivot level can be adjusted according to the trader's preferences,
Offering maximum adaptability to different strategies and needs, further helping to maximize positive EV.
EV=(P(Win)×R(Win))−(P(Loss)×R(Loss))
-----
What's the purpose of these levels? What are the underlying calculations?
1. Understanding Swing highs and Swing Lows
Swing High: A Swing High is formed when there is a high with 2 lower highs to the left and right.
Swing Low: A Swing Low is formed when there is a low with 2 higher lows to the left and right.
2. Understanding the purpose and the underlying calculations behind Buyside, Sellside and Pivot levels.
3. Identifying Discount and Premium Zones.
4. Importance of Risk-Reward in Premium and Discount Ranges
----
How does the script calculate probabilities?
The script calculates the probability of each liquidity level individually. Here's the breakdown:
1. Upon the formation of a new range, the script waits for the price to reach and tap into pivot level level. Status: "⏸" - Inactive
2. Once pivot level is tapped into, the pivot status becomes activated and it waits for either liquidity side to be hit. Status: "▶" - Active
3. If the buyside liquidity is hit, the script adds to the count of successful buyside liquidity occurrences. Similarly, if the sellside is tapped, it records successful sellside liquidity occurrences.
4. Finally, the number of successful occurrences for each side is divided by the overall count individually to calculate the range probabilities.
Note: The calculations are performed independently for each directional range. A range is considered bearish if the previous breakout was through a sellside liquidity. Conversely, a range is considered bullish if the most recent breakout was through a buyside liquidity.
----
What does the multi-timeframe functionality offer?
In the adjustable version of the orderflow indicator, you can incorporate up to 7 higher timeframe probabilities directly into the table.
This feature allows you to analyze the probabilities of buyside and sellside liquidity across multiple timeframes, without the need to manually switch between them.
By viewing these higher timeframe probabilities in one place, traders can spot larger market trends and refine their entries and exits with a better understanding of the overall market context.
This multi-timeframe functionality helps traders:
1. Simplify decision-making by offering a comprehensive view of multiple timeframes at once.
2. Identify confluence between timeframes, enhancing the confidence in trade setups.
3. Adapt strategies more effectively, as the higher timeframe pivot levels can be customized to meet individual preferences and goals.
----
What are the multi-timeframe underlying calculations?
The script uses the same calculations (mentioned above) and uses security function to request the data such as price levels, bar time, probabilities and booleans from the user-input timeframe.
----
How does the Indicator Identifies Positive Expected Values?
OrderFlow indicator instantly calculates whether a trade setup has the potential for positive expected value (EV) in the long run.
To determine a positive EV setup, the indicator uses the formula:
EV=(P(Win)×R(Win))−(P(Loss)×R(Loss))
where:
P(Win) is the probability of a winning trade.
R(Win) is the reward or return for a winning trade, determined by the current risk-to-reward ratio (RR).
P(Loss) is the probability of a losing trade.
R(Loss) is the loss incurred per losing trade, typically assumed to be -1.
By calculating these values based on historical data and the current trading setup, the indicator helps you understand whether your trade has a positive expected value over a large sample size.
----
How can I know that the setup I'm going to trade with has a postive EV?
If the indicator detects that the adjusted pivot and buy/sell side probabilities have generated positive expected value (EV) in historical data, the risk-to-reward (RR) label within the range box will be colored blue and red .
If the setup does not produce positive EV, the RR label will appear gray.
This indicates that even the risk-to-reward ratio is greater than 1:1, the setup is not likely to yield a positive EV because, according to historical data, the number of losses outweighs the number of wins relative to the RR gain per winning trade.
----
What is the confidence level in the indicator, and how is it determined?
The confidence level in the indicator reflects the reliability of the probabilities calculated based on historical data. It is determined by the sample size of the probabilities used in the calculations. A larger sample size generally increases the confidence level, indicating that the probabilities are more reliable and consistent with past performance.
----
How does the confidence level affect the risk-to-reward (RR) label?
The confidence level (★) is visually represented alongside the probability label. A higher confidence level indicates that the probabilities used to determine the RR label are based on a larger and more reliable sample size.
----
How can traders use the confidence level to make better trading decisions?
Traders can use the confidence level to gauge the reliability of the probabilities and expected value (EV) calculations provided by the indicator. A confidence level above 95% is considered statistically significant and indicates that the historical data supporting the probabilities is robust. This high confidence level suggests that the probabilities are reliable and that the indicator’s recommendations are more likely to be accurate.
In data science and statistics, a confidence level above 95% generally means that there is less than a 5% chance that the observed results are due to random variation. This threshold is widely accepted in research and industry as a marker of statistical significance. Studies such as those published in the Journal of Statistical Software and the American Statistical Association support this threshold, emphasizing that a confidence level above 95% provides a strong assurance of data reliability and validity.
Conversely, a confidence level below 95% indicates that the sample size may be insufficient and that the data might be less reliable . In such cases, traders should approach the indicator’s recommendations with caution and consider additional factors or further analysis before making trading decisions.
----
How does the sample size affect the confidence level, and how does it relate to my TradingView plan?
The sample size for calculating the confidence level is directly influenced by the amount of historical data available on your charts. A larger sample size typically leads to more reliable probabilities and higher confidence levels.
Here’s how the TradingView plans affect your data access:
Essential Plan
The Essential Plan provides basic data access with a limited amount of historical data. This can lead to smaller sample sizes and lower confidence levels, which may weaken the robustness of your probability calculations. Suitable for casual traders who do not require extensive historical analysis.
Plus Plan
The Plus Plan offers more historical data than the Essential Plan, allowing for larger sample sizes and more accurate confidence levels. This enhancement improves the reliability of indicator calculations. This plan is ideal for more active traders looking to refine their strategies with better data.
Premium Plan
The Premium Plan grants access to extensive historical data, enabling the largest sample sizes and the highest confidence levels. This plan provides the most reliable data for accurate calculations, with up to 20,000 historical bars available for analysis. It is designed for serious traders who need comprehensive data for in-depth market analysis.
PRO+ Plans
The PRO+ Plans offer the most extensive historical data, allowing for the largest sample sizes and the highest confidence levels. These plans are tailored for professional traders who require advanced features and significant historical data to support their trading strategies effectively.
For many traders, the Premium Plan offers a good balance of affordability and sufficient sample size for accurate confidence levels.

What is the HTF probability table and how does it work?
The HTF (Higher Time Frame) probability table is a feature that allows you to view buy and sellside probabilities and their status from timeframes higher than your current chart timeframe.
Here’s how it works:
Data Request : The table requests and retrieves data from user-defined higher timeframes (HTFs) that you select.
Probability Display: It displays the buy and sellside probabilities for each of these HTFs, providing insights into the likelihood of price movements based on higher timeframe data.
Detailed Tooltips: The table includes detailed tooltips for each timeframe, offering additional context and explanations to help you understand the data better.
----
What do the different colors in the HTF probability table indicate?
The colors in the HTF probability table provide visual cues about the expected value (EV) of trading setups based on higher timeframe probabilities:
Blue: Suggests that entering a long position from the HTF user-defined pivot point, targeting buyside liquidity, is likely to result in a positive expected value (EV) based on historical data and sample size.
Red: Indicates that entering a short position from the HTF user-defined pivot point, targeting sellside liquidity, is likely to result in a positive expected value (EV) based on historical data and sample size.
Gray: Shows that neither long nor short trades from the HTF user-defined pivot point are expected to generate positive EV, suggesting that trading these setups may not be favorable.
----
How to use the indicator effectively?
For Amateur Traders:
Start Simple: Begin by focusing on one timeframe at a time with the pivot level set to the default (50%). This helps you understand the basic functionality of the indicator.
Entry and Exit Strategy: Focus on entering trades at the pivot level while targeting the higher probability side for take profit and the lower probability side for stop loss.
Use simulation or paper trading to practice this strategy.
Adjustments: Once you have a solid understanding of how the indicator works, you can start adjusting the pivot level to other values that suit your strategy.
Ensure that the RR labels are colored (blue or red) to indicate positive EV setups before executing trades.
For Advanced Traders:
1. Select Higher Timeframe Bias: Choose a higher timeframe (HTF) as your main bias. Start with the default pivot level and ensure the confidence level is above 95% to validate the probabilities.
2. Align Lower Timeframes: Switch between lower timeframes to identify which ones align with your predefined HTF bias. This helps in synchronizing your trading decisions across different timeframes.
3. Set Entries with Current Pivot Level: Use the current pivot level for trade entries. Ensure the HTF status label is active, indicating that the probabilities are valid and in play.
4. Target HTF Liquidity Level: Aim for liquidity levels that correspond to the higher timeframe, as these levels are likely to offer better trading opportunities.
5. Adjust Pivot Levels: As you gain experience, adjust the pivot levels to further optimize your strategy for high EV. Fine-tune these levels based on the aggregated data from multiple timeframes.
6. Practice on Paper Trading: Test your strategies through paper trading to eliminate discretion and refine your approach without financial risk.
7. Focus on Trade Management: Ultimately, effective trade management is crucial. Concentrate on managing your trades well to ensure long-term success. By aiming for setups that produce positive EV, you can position yourself similarly to how a casino operates.

🎲 Becoming the House (Gaining Edge Over the Market):
In American roulette, the house has a 5.26% edge due to the 0 and 00. This means that while players have a 47.37% chance of winning on even-money bets, the true odds are 50%. The discrepancy between the true odds and the payout ensures that, statistically, the casino will win over time.
From the Trader's Perspective: In trading, you gain an edge by focusing on setups with positive expected value (EV). If you have a 55.48% chance of winning with a 1:1 risk-to-reward ratio, your setup has a higher probability of profitability than the losing side. By consistently targeting such setups and managing your trades effectively, you create a statistical advantage, similar to the casino’s edge.
----
🎰 Applying the Concept to Trading:
Just as casinos rely on their mathematical edge, you can achieve long-term success in trading by focusing on setups with positive EV. By ensuring that your probabilities and risk-to-reward (RR) ratios are in your favor, you create an edge similar to that of the house.
And by systematically targeting trades with favorable probabilities and managing your trades effectively, you improve your chances of profitability over the long run. Which is going to help you “become the house” in your trading, leveraging statistical advantages to enhance your overall performance.
----
What makes this indicator original?
Real-Time Probability Calculations: The indicator provides real-time calculations of buy and sell probabilities based on historical data, allowing traders to assess the likelihood of positive expected value (EV) setups instantly.

Price and Volume Stochastic Divergence [MW]Introduction
This indicator creates signals of interest for entering and exiting long and short positions on equities. It primarily uses up and down trends defined by the change in cumulative volume with some filtering provided by a short period exponential moving average (9 EMA by default).
Settings
Moving Average Period : The moving average over which the cumulative volume delta is calculated. Default: 14
Short Period EMA : The EMA used to represent price action, and is used to generate the EMA Delta line. Default: 27 (3*3*3)
Long Period EMA : The second EMA used to calculate the EMA Delta line. Default: 108 (2*2*3*3*3)
Stochastic K Value : The value used for stochastic curve smoothing. Default: 3
Dot Size : The diameter of the larger indicator. Default: 10
Dot Transparency : The transparency level of the outer ring of the primary BUY/SELL signal. Default: 50 (0 is opaque, 100 is transparent)
Band Distance from 0 to 100 : The upper and lower band distance. Default: 20
Calculations
The cumulative volume delta (CVD) is calculated using candle bodies and wicks. For a red candle, buying volume is calculated by multiplying the volume by the spread percentage of the average of the top and bottom wicks, while Selling Volume is calculated multiplying the volume by the spread percentage of the average of the top and bottom wicks - in addition to the spread percentage of the candle body.
For a green candle, buying volume is calculated by multiplying the volume by the spread percentage of the average of the top and bottom wicks - plus the spread percentage of the candle body - while Selling Volume is calculated using only the spread percentage average of the top and bottom wicks.
Once we have the CVD, we can then perform a stochastic calculation of the CVD value.
stochastic calculation = (current value - lowest value in period) / (highest value in period - lowest value in period)
We’ll do the same stochastic calculation for the short term EMA (27 EMA default) as well as for the difference between the short term and long term EMA.
When the stochastic CVD value is rising from zero and the short term EMA stochastic value equals 100, then it’s a major bullish signal. When the stochastic CVD value is falling from 100 and the short term EMA stochastic value equals 0, then it’s a major bearish signal.
Sometimes, after a bullish or bearish signal, the stochastic CVD will reverse direction triggering a new opposing signal.
How to Interpret
The CVD indicates when there is either more buying than selling or vice versa. A value over 50 for the stochastic CVD curve represents more buying taking place. A value below 50 represents more selling. One might intuitively believe that when there is more buying volume than selling volume that the price would follow suit. This is not always the case.
Most of the time buying volume will precede consistent price movement upwards, and selling volume will precede consistent price movement downwards. When this divergence occurs, the indicator generates a signal. When this divergence begins to fail, and buying or selling volume reverses, then another signal is generated indicating that the buying/selling impulse is headed back into the direction of price action.
These interactions are visually represented on the chart with the coral line that represents CVD, and the yellow line that represents the EMA, or the average price. When the coral line goes up and the yellow line stays down, that’s the BUY signal. When the coral line goes down and the yellow line stays up, that’s the sell signal. When the coral line switches direction, the chart generates another signal showing that volume is moving in a direction that supports the price.
The orange line represents the stochastic representation of the difference between the short EMA (27 by default) and the long EMA (108 by default). EMA differences is a method that can be used to define a trend. When a short term EMA is above a longer term EMA, that may represent a bullish trend. When it is below, that may represent a bearish trend. When all 3 lines are rising or falling in the same direction at the same time, it tends to indicate a movement that has the potential to continue.
Other Usage Notes and Limitations
It's important for traders to be aware of the limitations of any indicator and to use them as part of a broader, well-rounded trading strategy that includes risk management, fundamental analysis, and other tools that can help with reducing false signals, determining trend direction, and providing additional confirmation for a trade decision. Diversifying strategies and not relying solely on one type of indicator or analysis can help mitigate some of these risks.
This indicator can be paired with the MW Volume Impulse indicator if it is desired to see the actual buying and selling cumulative volume deltas. Also, in many cases, the BUY and SELL signals tend to correspond with Keltner Bands (ATR Bands) becoming extended. Lastly, volume weighted average price (VWAP) along with other macro events can impact price and negate signals. To view VWAP lines, you may choose to use the Multi VWAP or Multi VWAP for Gaps indicator to help ensure that the signals you see in this indicator are not being affected by VWAP lines.
Heeger Alert | Didi's Needles setup [HeegerBot]Indicator based on Color Candles - Didi's Needles setup , but now exclusively focused on generating alerts.
With this indicator, you can set up alerts and notifications on TradingView for up to 15 assets based on Didi Aguiar's setup. Additionally, you can specify whether the alert should trigger at the candle close or X minutes before the close.
A session filter has also been added, allowing you to configure alerts to trigger only during a specific session.
Description of monitored signals:
The setup involves the crossing of three moving averages, along with the trend analysis in the ADX and the open Bollinger Bands.
The moving averages will be named "Didi Index". We will have the 3-period average as "Fast Average", the 8-period average as "Median Average", and the 20-period average as "Slow Average". When the Fast Average crosses the Median Average, we will have an alert, and when the Slow Average crosses the Median Average, we will have a confirmation. To adjust the Didi Index in the signals, the Median Average was normalized, that is, it will always be equal to 0. For the Slow and Fast Average, we will only consider the percentage difference in relation to the Median Average.
In addition to the moving averages, we analyze whether the ADX is rising, with DI+ above DI- to indicate an uptrend, or if the ADX is rising, with DI- above DI+ to indicate a downtrend. We also check if the Bollinger Bands are open. With these conditions, we will have a Needle.
Now I'm going to detail how I set this up on the indicator and some filters that I inserted for my personal use, along with some additional signals from the setup.
# Needle Alert
Firstly, we have the "Needle Alert" signal. This signal occurs when the Fast Average crosses the Median Average, along with the trend confirmation in the ADX and the opening of the Bollinger Bands. The filter is set at "1", which means we will only consider the needle alert when the percentage difference between the Slow Average and the Median Average is below 1%. This signal can be used as an entry point or to monitor the asset. Let's go through the examples:
• For a "Buy Alert", the Fast Average must cross the Median Average from bottom to top, and the percentage difference between the Slow Average and the Median Average should be less than +1% and greater than 0, as indicated by the Didi Index.
• For a "Sell Alert", the Fast Average must cross the Median Average from top to bottom, and the percentage difference between the Slow Average and the Median Average should be greater than -1% and less than 0, as indicated by the Didi Index.
We also have the alert projection, which serves as a signal to attract attention and monitor the asset. I use a "0.1" filter, which means that the percentage difference between the Fast Average and the Median Average must be equal to or less than 0.1%. Let's look at the example:
• For a "Buy Alert Projection", the Fast Average should be below the Median Average, and the percentage difference between the Fast Average and the Median Average should be greater than -0.1% and less than 0. In addition, the Slow Average should be above the Median Average in the Didi Index.
• For a "Buy Alert Projection", the Fast Average should be below the Median Average, and the percentage difference between the Fast Average and the Median Average should be greater than -0.1% and less than 0. In addition, the Slow Average should be above the Median Average in the Didi Index.
# Needle
After the Needle Alert, we have the Needle Confirmation, which occurs when the Slow Average crosses the Median Average after the alert. This signal is used to enter the operation. Let's divide this signal into two parts:
1. Needle: We use a filter of "3" (adjustable). This means that, to be considered a "Needle", the candle distance between the Alert (crossing of the Fast Average with the Median Average) and the Confirmation (crossing of the Slow Average with the Median Average) must be equal to or less than 3 candles. Also, there needs to be a trend on the ADX and the Bollinger Bands should be open.
2. Queijo Minas Needle (QM): Essentially, it's a Needle that occurs outside of the filter, with a candle distance between the Alert and the Confirmation above "3" candles. A trend on the ADX and open Bollinger Bands are also necessary.
To anticipate the Needle Confirmation, we use the "Needle Projection" signal. This signal has two filters: the "Needle Projection with Alert", set as "0.1%", and the "Needle Projection after the Alert", set as "0.3%".
1. The "Needle Projection with Alert" generates the signal when the "Needle Alert" occurs (crossing of the Fast Average with the Median Average), as long as the difference between the Slow Average and the Median Average is less than 0.1%.
2. The "Needle Projection after the Alert" generates the signal when the Fast Average has already crossed the Median Average, and the difference between the Slow Average and the Median Average should be less than 0.3%.
# BJMA (Spider Woman's Kiss)
There is another variation of the needle called BJMA. Essentially, it occurs when the Fast Average and the Slow Average approach the Median Average (each on one pole), but do not cross the Median and return to where they came from. In this signal, we have two filters: "Delta BJMA previous candle" and "Delta BJMA current candle". Let's see an example:
• Buy BJMA: First, we observe the previous candle, where the Fast Average must be above 0 (above the Median Average) and the percentage difference should be less than 0.02. In relation to the Slow Average, the configuration is the same, but in the negative sense, that is, it should be below 0 and above -0.02. Now, in the current candle, the Fast Average should be above 0 and below 0.05, while the Slow Average should be below 0 and above -0.05.
• Sell BJMA: First, we observe the previous candle, where the Fast Average must be below 0 (below the Median Average) and the percentage difference should be greater than -0.02. In relation to the Slow Average, the configuration is the same, but in the positive sense, that is, it should be above 0 and below 0.02. Now, in the current candle, the Fast Average should be below 0 and above -0.05, while the Slow Average should be above 0 and below 0.05.
Now, let's look at two signals that are commonly used to stay in a position.
# Fake Point
The Fake Point is primarily used to identify retracements before a continuation of the prevailing trend. Typically, it is preceded by a Needle Confirmation or BJMA signal. Here are some examples:
• Fake Sell (Signal to Maintain a Buy Position): The Fast Average crosses the Median from top to bottom (entering the negative pole of the Didi Index), while the Slow Average, which is already below the Median (below 0), continues to decline further, increasing the percentage difference between the Fast and Slow Averages in the negative pole.
• Fake Buy (Signal to Maintain a Sell Position): It is the same as the fake sell scenario but in the positive pole. The Fast Average crosses the Median, entering the positive pole of the Didi Index, while the Slow Average, which was already above the Median, continues to increase the percentage difference with the Median. For example, if the Slow Average was at +1 on the Didi Index, it would now be at +1.3.
There is also another variation of the Fake Breakout that takes into consideration the ADX (Average Directional Index) to confirm the trend direction. In other words, if we have a fake sell signal that suggests a buy position, we want the ADX to indicate a buying trend, and vice versa.
# Bought and Sold
This signal basically checks whether the indicators continue to confirm the previous signals. There are two variations: "Bought/Sold" and "Bought/Sold without Bollinger Bands". Let's see an example:
• Bought: The Didi Index is in the buying position, which means the Fast Average is above the Median Average (above 0), and the Slow Average is below the Median Average. Additionally, the ADX is indicating a buying trend and the Bollinger Bands are open.
• Sold: The Didi Index is in the selling position, which means the Fast Average is below 0 and the Slow Average is above 0. Moreover, the ADX is indicating a selling trend and the Bollinger Bands are open.
• Bought/Sold without Bollinger Bands: It's the same signal, but without considering whether the Bollinger Bands are open or not.
We can also consider the "Bought/Sold" signal based on the Trix and Stochastic, which would be additional confirmations of the movement.
Personally, I do not activate the Bought/Sold signal.
Now we come to signals to exit the position or take partial profits.
# Close
This exit signal is based on the following indicators: ADX, Bollinger Bands, Trix, and Stochastic. We wait for the ADX Kick or the falling ADX, along with the Bollinger Bands closing, and the Trix and Stochastic changing to the opposite side. Let's see some examples:
• Close a Buy: The ADX was in a buying trend (ADX rising and DI+ above DI-), but then the ADX Kick occurs or the ADX starts to fall. In addition, the Bollinger Bands close, and the Trix and Stochastic should switch to the sell signal.
• Close a Sell: The ADX was in a selling trend (ADX rising and DI- above DI+), but then the ADX Kick occurs or the ADX starts to fall. Also, the Bollinger Bands close, and the Trix and Stochastic should switch to the buy signal.
All indicators must provide signals together, but it is not necessary for all to occur in the exact same candle. For example:
1. The ADX Kick may occur, and the Trix and Stochastic switch to the buy signal, but the Bollinger Bands still remain open. In this case, we still do not have the exit signal.
2. In the next candle, the ADX continues to fall (after the Kick), the Trix and Stochastic continue to indicate buying, but this time the Bollinger Bands close. In this case, we have the "Close a Sell" signal.
It is important that all indicators are in accordance with the necessary signals, even if they occur in different candles, in order for the exit signal to be triggered.
# Close with Alert
This signal occurs when the Didi Index switches to the opposite side from where it was, along with a trend on the ADX, provided it's not a fake point. Let's see some examples:
• Close Buy - Sell Alert: Suppose we were in a buy position on the previous candle. In the current candle, the Fast Average crosses the Median Average from top to bottom, and the ADX indicates a sell trend. In this case, we completely close our buy position or make a partial realization.
• Close Sell - Buy Alert: Suppose we were in a sell position on the previous candle. In the current candle, the Fast Average crosses the Median Average from bottom to top, and the ADX indicates a buy trend. In this case, we completely close our sell position or make a partial realization.

Indicador baseado no Color Candles - Didi's Needles setup , mas agora focado exclusivamente na geração de alertas.
Com esse indicador, você pode configurar alertas e notificações no TradingView para até 15 ativos com base no setup de Didi Aguiar. Além disso, é possível definir se o alerta deve ser acionado no fechamento do candle ou X minutos antes do fechamento.
Também foi adicionado um filtro de sessão que permite configurar os alertas para serem acionados apenas durante uma sessão específica.
Descrição dos sinais monitorados:
O setup consiste no cruzamento de 3 médias móveis, juntamente com a análise da tendência no ADX e das bandas de Bollinger abertas.
As médias móveis serão nomeadas "Didi Index". Teremos a média de 3 períodos como "Média Rápida", a média de 8 períodos como "Média Mediana" e a média de 20 períodos como "Média Lenta". Quando a Média Rápida cruzar a Média Mediana, teremos um alerta e, quando a Média Lenta cruzar a Média Mediana, teremos uma confirmação. Para ajustar o Didi Index nos sinais, a Média Mediana foi normalizada, isto é, ela sempre será igual a 0. Para a Média Lenta e a Média Rápida, levaremos em consideração apenas a diferença percentual em relação à Média Mediana.
Além das médias móveis, analisamos se o ADX está em ascensão, com o DI+ acima do DI- para indicar uma tendência de alta, ou se o ADX está subindo, com o DI- acima do DI+ para indicar uma tendência de baixa. Também verificamos se as bandas de Bollinger estão abertas. Com essas condições, teremos uma Agulhada.
Agora vou detalhar como estabeleci isso no indicador e alguns filtros que inseri para o meu uso pessoal, além de alguns sinais adicionais do setup.
# Alerta de Agulhada
Primeiramente, temos o sinal de "Alerta de Agulhada". Este sinal acontece quando a Média Rápida cruza a Média Mediana, junto com a confirmação da tendência no ADX e a abertura das Bandas de Bollinger. O filtro está ajustado em "1", o que significa que só levaremos em consideração o alerta de agulhada quando a diferença percentual entre a Média Lenta e a Média Mediana estiver abaixo de 1%. Esse sinal pode ser utilizado como um ponto de entrada ou para monitorar o ativo. Vamos aos exemplos:
• Para um "Alerta de Compra", a Média Rápida deve cruzar a Média Mediana de baixo para cima, e a diferença percentual entre a Média Lenta e a Média Mediana deve ser menor que +1% e maior que 0, conforme indicado pelo Didi Index.
• Para um "Alerta de Venda", a Média Rápida deve cruzar a Média Mediana de cima para baixo, e a diferença percentual entre a Média Lenta e a Média Mediana deve ser maior que -1% e menor que 0, conforme indicado pelo Didi Index.
Também temos a projeção do alerta, que serve como um sinal para chamar atenção e monitorar o ativo. Eu uso um filtro de "0.1", o que significa que a diferença percentual entre a Média Rápida e a Média Mediana deve ser igual ou menor que 0.1%. Vamos ver o exemplo:
• Para uma "Projeção de Alerta de Compra", a Média Rápida deve estar abaixo da Média Mediana, e a diferença percentual entre a Média Rápida e a Média Mediana deve ser maior que -0.1% e menor que 0. Além disso, a Média Lenta deve estar acima da Média Mediana no Didi Index.
• Para uma "Projeção de Alerta de Compra", a Média Rápida deve estar abaixo da Média Mediana, e a diferença percentual entre a Média Rápida e a Média Mediana deve ser maior que -0.1% e menor que 0. Além disso, a Média Lenta deve estar acima da Média Mediana no Didi Index.
# Agulhada
Após o Alerta de Agulhada, temos a confirmação da Agulhada, que ocorre quando a Média Lenta cruza a Média Mediana após o alerta. Esse sinal é utilizado para entrar na operação. Vamos dividir esse sinal em duas partes:
1. Agulhada: Utilizamos um filtro de "3" (ajustável). Isso significa que, para ser considerada uma "Agulhada", a distância em velas entre o Alerta (cruzamento da Média Rápida com a Média Mediana) e a Confirmação (cruzamento da Média Lenta com a Média Mediana) deve ser igual ou menor que 3 velas. Além disso, é necessário ter uma tendência no ADX e as Bandas de Bollinger devem estar abertas.
2. Agulhada Queijo Minas (QM): Basicamente, é uma agulhada que ocorre fora do filtro, com uma distância em velas entre o Alerta e a Confirmação acima de "3" velas. Também é necessário ter uma tendência no ADX e as Bandas de Bollinger devem estar abertas.
Para antecipar a confirmação da Agulhada, utilizamos o sinal de "Projeção de Agulhada". Esse sinal possui dois filtros: o "Projeção de Agulhada com Alerta", configurado como "0.1%", e o "Projeção de Agulhada após o Alerta", configurado como "0.3%".
1. "Projeção de Agulhada com Alerta" gera o sinal quando ocorre o "Alerta de Agulhada" (cruzamento da Média Rápida com a Média Mediana), desde que a diferença entre a Média Lenta e a Média Mediana seja menor que 0.1%.
2. "Projeção de Agulhada após o Alerta" gera o sinal quando a Média Rápida já cruzou a Média Mediana, e a diferença entre a Média Lenta e a Média Mediana deve ser menor que 0.3%.
# BJMA (Beijo da Mulher Aranha)
Existe uma outra variação da agulhada chamada BJMA. Essencialmente, ocorre quando a Média Rápida e a Média Lenta se aproximam da Média Mediana (cada uma em um polo), mas não cruzam a Mediana e voltam para o lado de onde vieram. Nesse sinal, temos dois filtros: "Delta BJMA vela anterior" e "Delta BJMA vela atual". Vejamos um exemplo:
• BJMA de Compra: Primeiramente, observamos a vela anterior, onde a Média Rápida deve estar acima de 0 (acima da Média Mediana) e a diferença percentual deve ser menor que 0.02. Em relação à Média Lenta, a configuração é a mesma, porém no sentido negativo, ou seja, ela deve estar abaixo de 0 e acima de -0.02. Agora, na vela atual, a Média Rápida deve estar acima de 0 e abaixo de 0.05, enquanto a Média Lenta deve estar abaixo de 0 e acima de -0.05.
• BJMA de Venda: Primeiramente, observamos a vela anterior, onde a Média Rápida deve estar abaixo de 0 (abaixo da Média Mediana) e a diferença percentual deve ser maior que -0.02. Em relação à Média Lenta, a configuração é a mesma, porém no sentido positivo, ou seja, ela deve estar acima de 0 e abaixo de 0.02. Agora, na vela atual, a Média Rápida deve estar abaixo de 0 e acima de -0.05, enquanto a Média Lenta deve estar acima de 0 e abaixo de 0.05.
Agora vamos abordar dois sinais que são normalmente utilizados para manter uma posição.
# Ponto Falso (Fake Point)
O Ponto Falso é usado para identificar uma retração antes de retomar o movimento. Geralmente, ele ocorre após um sinal de Agulhada ou BJMA. Vejamos exemplos:
• Venda Falsa (sinal para manter uma posição de compra): A Média Rápida cruza a Média Mediana de cima para baixo (entrando no polo negativo do Didi Index), enquanto a Média Lenta, que já está abaixo da Média Mediana (abaixo de 0), continua caindo, aumentando assim a diferença percentual entre a Média Lenta e a Média Mediana no polo negativo.
• Compra Falsa (sinal para manter uma posição de venda): O cenário é semelhante, mas no polo positivo. A Média Rápida cruza a Média Mediana, passando para o lado positivo do Didi Index, enquanto a Média Lenta, que já estava acima da Média Mediana, continua aumentando a diferença percentual em relação à Média Mediana. Por exemplo, se a Média Lenta estava em +1 no Didi Index, agora ela está em +1.3.
Também existe uma variação do Ponto Falso em que verificamos se a tendência no ADX está se mantendo na mesma direção. Ou seja, se tivermos uma Venda Falsa (que seria um sinal para permanecermos em uma posição de compra), é importante que o ADX esteja indicando uma tendência de compra, e vice-versa. Dessa forma, consideramos não apenas o cruzamento das médias, mas também a confirmação da tendência no ADX. Essa variação é chamada de Ponto Falso com Tendência (Fake Point with Trend).
# Comprado e Vendido
Esse sinal, essencialmente, verifica se os indicadores estão mantendo a confirmação dos sinais anteriores. Existem duas variações: "Comprado/Vendido" e "Comprado/Vendido sem Bandas de Bollinger". Vejamos um exemplo:
• Comprado: O Didi Index está em compra, o que significa que a Média Rápida está acima da Média Mediana (acima de 0) e a Média Lenta está abaixo da Média Mediana. Além disso, o ADX está indicando uma tendência de compra e as Bandas de Bollinger estão abertas.
• Vendido: O Didi Index está em venda, o que significa que a Média Rápida está abaixo de 0 e a Média Lenta está acima de 0. Além disso, o ADX está indicando uma tendência de venda e as Bandas de Bollinger estão abertas.
• Comprado/Vendido sem Bollinger: É o mesmo sinal, porém sem considerar se as Bandas de Bollinger estão abertas ou não.
Podemos também considerar o "Comprado/Vendido" com base no Trix e no Estocástico, que seriam confirmações adicionais do movimento.
Eu, pessoalmente, não deixo ativado o sinal de Comprado/Vendido.
Agora chegamos aos sinais de saída da posição ou de realização parcial.
# Fechar (Close)
Este sinal de saída baseia-se nos seguintes indicadores: ADX, Bandas de Bollinger, Trix e Estocástico. Aguardamos o Kick do ADX ou o ADX em queda, juntamente com as Bandas de Bollinger se fechando, e o Trix e o Estocástico mudando para o lado oposto. Vamos ver alguns exemplos:
• Fechar uma Compra (Close Buy): O ADX estava em uma tendência de compra (ADX subindo e DI+ acima do DI-), mas em seguida ocorre o Kick do ADX ou o ADX começa a cair. Além disso, as Bandas de Bollinger se fecham e o Trix e o Estocástico devem mudar para o sinal de venda.
• Fechar uma Venda (Close Sell): O ADX estava em uma tendência de venda (ADX subindo e DI- acima do DI+), mas em seguida ocorre o Kick do ADX ou o ADX começa a cair. Além disso, as Bandas de Bollinger se fecham e o Trix e o Estocástico devem mudar para o sinal de compra.
Todos os indicadores devem fornecer os sinais em conjunto, mas não é necessário que todos ocorram exatamente na mesma vela. Por exemplo:
1. Pode ocorrer o Kick do ADX e o Trix e o Estocástico mudarem para o sinal de compra, mas as Bandas de Bollinger ainda permanecerem abertas. Nesse caso, ainda não teremos o sinal de saída.
2. No candle seguinte, o ADX continua caindo (após o Kick), o Trix e o Estocástico continuam indicando compra, mas desta vez as Bandas de Bollinger se fecham. Nesse caso, teremos o sinal de "Fechamento de uma Venda".
É importante que todos os indicadores estejam em conformidade com os sinais necessários, mesmo que ocorram em velas diferentes, para que seja acionado o sinal de saída.
# Fechar com Alerta (Close with Alert)
Esse sinal ocorre quando o Didi Index muda para o lado oposto do que estava, juntamente com uma tendência no ADX, desde que não seja um ponto falso. Vejamos exemplos:
• Fechar Compra - Alerta de Venda: Suponha que estávamos em uma posição de compra no candle anterior. No candle atual, a Média Rápida cruza a Média Mediana de cima para baixo, e o ADX indica uma tendência de venda. Nesse caso, encerramos completamente nossa posição de compra ou realizamos uma realização parcial.
• Fechar Venda – Alerta de Compra: Suponha que estávamos em uma posição de venda no candle anterior. No candle atual, a Média Rápida cruza a Média Mediana de baixo para cima, e o ADX indica uma tendência de compra. Nesse caso, encerramos completamente nossa posição de venda ou realizamos uma realização parcial.
Color Candles - Didi's Needles setup [HeegerBot]Coloration Indicator based on Didi Aguiar's needle setup.
Indicador de Coloração baseado no setup de agulhadas do Didi Aguiar.
The setup consists of the crossover of three moving averages, along with the analysis of an ascending trend in the ADX and the opening of Bollinger Bands.
The setup involves the crossing of three moving averages, along with the trend analysis in the ADX and the open Bollinger Bands.
The moving averages will be named "Didi Index". We will have the 3-period average as "Fast Average", the 8-period average as "Median Average", and the 20-period average as "Slow Average". When the Fast Average crosses the Median Average, we will have an alert, and when the Slow Average crosses the Median Average, we will have a confirmation. To adjust the Didi Index in the signals, the Median Average was normalized, that is, it will always be equal to 0. For the Slow and Fast Average, we will only consider the percentage difference in relation to the Median Average.
In addition to the moving averages, we analyze whether the ADX is rising, with DI+ above DI- to indicate an uptrend, or if the ADX is rising, with DI- above DI+ to indicate a downtrend. We also check if the Bollinger Bands are open. With these conditions, we will have a Needle.
Now I'm going to detail how I set this up on the indicator and some filters that I inserted for my personal use, along with some additional signals from the setup.
# Needle Alert
Firstly, we have the "Needle Alert" signal. This signal occurs when the Fast Average crosses the Median Average, along with the trend confirmation in the ADX and the opening of the Bollinger Bands. The filter is set at "1", which means we will only consider the needle alert when the percentage difference between the Slow Average and the Median Average is below 1%. This signal can be used as an entry point or to monitor the asset. Let's go through the examples:
• For a "Buy Alert", the Fast Average must cross the Median Average from bottom to top, and the percentage difference between the Slow Average and the Median Average should be less than +1% and greater than 0, as indicated by the Didi Index.
• For a "Sell Alert", the Fast Average must cross the Median Average from top to bottom, and the percentage difference between the Slow Average and the Median Average should be greater than -1% and less than 0, as indicated by the Didi Index.
We also have the alert projection, which serves as a signal to attract attention and monitor the asset. I use a "0.1" filter, which means that the percentage difference between the Fast Average and the Median Average must be equal to or less than 0.1%. Let's look at the example:
• For a "Buy Alert Projection", the Fast Average should be below the Median Average, and the percentage difference between the Fast Average and the Median Average should be greater than -0.1% and less than 0. In addition, the Slow Average should be above the Median Average in the Didi Index.
• For a "Buy Alert Projection", the Fast Average should be below the Median Average, and the percentage difference between the Fast Average and the Median Average should be greater than -0.1% and less than 0. In addition, the Slow Average should be above the Median Average in the Didi Index.
# Needle
After the Needle Alert, we have the Needle Confirmation, which occurs when the Slow Average crosses the Median Average after the alert. This signal is used to enter the operation. Let's divide this signal into two parts:
1. Needle: We use a filter of "3" (adjustable). This means that, to be considered a "Needle", the candle distance between the Alert (crossing of the Fast Average with the Median Average) and the Confirmation (crossing of the Slow Average with the Median Average) must be equal to or less than 3 candles. Also, there needs to be a trend on the ADX and the Bollinger Bands should be open.
2. Queijo Minas Needle (QM): Essentially, it's a Needle that occurs outside of the filter, with a candle distance between the Alert and the Confirmation above "3" candles. A trend on the ADX and open Bollinger Bands are also necessary.
To anticipate the Needle Confirmation, we use the "Needle Projection" signal. This signal has two filters: the "Needle Projection with Alert", set as "0.1%", and the "Needle Projection after the Alert", set as "0.3%".
1. The "Needle Projection with Alert" generates the signal when the "Needle Alert" occurs (crossing of the Fast Average with the Median Average), as long as the difference between the Slow Average and the Median Average is less than 0.1%.
2. The "Needle Projection after the Alert" generates the signal when the Fast Average has already crossed the Median Average, and the difference between the Slow Average and the Median Average should be less than 0.3%.
# BJMA (Spider Woman's Kiss)
There is another variation of the needle called BJMA. Essentially, it occurs when the Fast Average and the Slow Average approach the Median Average (each on one pole), but do not cross the Median and return to where they came from. In this signal, we have two filters: "Delta BJMA previous candle" and "Delta BJMA current candle". Let's see an example:
• Buy BJMA: First, we observe the previous candle, where the Fast Average must be above 0 (above the Median Average) and the percentage difference should be less than 0.02. In relation to the Slow Average, the configuration is the same, but in the negative sense, that is, it should be below 0 and above -0.02. Now, in the current candle, the Fast Average should be above 0 and below 0.05, while the Slow Average should be below 0 and above -0.05.
• Sell BJMA: First, we observe the previous candle, where the Fast Average must be below 0 (below the Median Average) and the percentage difference should be greater than -0.02. In relation to the Slow Average, the configuration is the same, but in the positive sense, that is, it should be above 0 and below 0.02. Now, in the current candle, the Fast Average should be below 0 and above -0.05, while the Slow Average should be above 0 and below 0.05.
Now, let's look at two signals that are commonly used to stay in a position.
# Fake Point
The Fake Point is primarily used to identify retracements before a continuation of the prevailing trend. Typically, it is preceded by a Needle Confirmation or BJMA signal. Here are some examples:
• Fake Sell (Signal to Maintain a Buy Position): The Fast Average crosses the Median from top to bottom (entering the negative pole of the Didi Index), while the Slow Average, which is already below the Median (below 0), continues to decline further, increasing the percentage difference between the Fast and Slow Averages in the negative pole.
• Fake Buy (Signal to Maintain a Sell Position): It is the same as the fake sell scenario but in the positive pole. The Fast Average crosses the Median, entering the positive pole of the Didi Index, while the Slow Average, which was already above the Median, continues to increase the percentage difference with the Median. For example, if the Slow Average was at +1 on the Didi Index, it would now be at +1.3.
There is also another variation of the Fake Breakout that takes into consideration the ADX (Average Directional Index) to confirm the trend direction. In other words, if we have a fake sell signal that suggests a buy position, we want the ADX to indicate a buying trend, and vice versa.
# Bought and Sold
This signal basically checks whether the indicators continue to confirm the previous signals. There are two variations: "Bought/Sold" and "Bought/Sold without Bollinger Bands". Let's see an example:
• Bought: The Didi Index is in the buying position, which means the Fast Average is above the Median Average (above 0), and the Slow Average is below the Median Average. Additionally, the ADX is indicating a buying trend and the Bollinger Bands are open.
• Sold: The Didi Index is in the selling position, which means the Fast Average is below 0 and the Slow Average is above 0. Moreover, the ADX is indicating a selling trend and the Bollinger Bands are open.
• Bought/Sold without Bollinger Bands: It's the same signal, but without considering whether the Bollinger Bands are open or not.
We can also consider the "Bought/Sold" signal based on the Trix and Stochastic, which would be additional confirmations of the movement.
Personally, I do not activate the Bought/Sold signal.
Now we come to signals to exit the position or take partial profits.
# Close
This exit signal is based on the following indicators: ADX, Bollinger Bands, Trix, and Stochastic. We wait for the ADX Kick or the falling ADX, along with the Bollinger Bands closing, and the Trix and Stochastic changing to the opposite side. Let's see some examples:
• Close a Buy: The ADX was in a buying trend (ADX rising and DI+ above DI-), but then the ADX Kick occurs or the ADX starts to fall. In addition, the Bollinger Bands close, and the Trix and Stochastic should switch to the sell signal.
• Close a Sell: The ADX was in a selling trend (ADX rising and DI- above DI+), but then the ADX Kick occurs or the ADX starts to fall. Also, the Bollinger Bands close, and the Trix and Stochastic should switch to the buy signal.
All indicators must provide signals together, but it is not necessary for all to occur in the exact same candle. For example:
1. The ADX Kick may occur, and the Trix and Stochastic switch to the buy signal, but the Bollinger Bands still remain open. In this case, we still do not have the exit signal.
2. In the next candle, the ADX continues to fall (after the Kick), the Trix and Stochastic continue to indicate buying, but this time the Bollinger Bands close. In this case, we have the "Close a Sell" signal.
It is important that all indicators are in accordance with the necessary signals, even if they occur in different candles, in order for the exit signal to be triggered.
# Close with Alert
This signal occurs when the Didi Index switches to the opposite side from where it was, along with a trend on the ADX, provided it's not a fake point. Let's see some examples:
• Close Buy - Sell Alert: Suppose we were in a buy position on the previous candle. In the current candle, the Fast Average crosses the Median Average from top to bottom, and the ADX indicates a sell trend. In this case, we completely close our buy position or make a partial realization.
• Close Sell - Buy Alert: Suppose we were in a sell position on the previous candle. In the current candle, the Fast Average crosses the Median Average from bottom to top, and the ADX indicates a buy trend. In this case, we completely close our sell position or make a partial realization.
# Divergence in Didi Index and Stochastic.
The signal of divergence in the Didi Index and the Stochastic is used to identify situations where there is a divergence in one of these indicators. When identified, a box will be drawn in the region where the divergence occurred. This region is considered an area of conflict or strength.
Depending on the context of the chart, these regions can be used as points for total or partial exit of positions. This happens because there may be a correction of the movement after these divergences occur. In some cases, if there is an ignition candle that breaks through this region, it can be used as a possible entry point into the position, taking advantage of a possible pullback.
It is recommended to wait for the candle to close before considering the signals, as this allows for a more solid confirmation.

Indicador de Coloração baseado no setup de agulhadas do Didi Aguiar.
O setup consiste no cruzamento de 3 médias móveis, juntamente com a análise da tendência no ADX e das bandas de Bollinger abertas.
As médias móveis serão nomeadas "Didi Index". Teremos a média de 3 períodos como "Média Rápida", a média de 8 períodos como "Média Mediana" e a média de 20 períodos como "Média Lenta". Quando a Média Rápida cruzar a Média Mediana, teremos um alerta e, quando a Média Lenta cruzar a Média Mediana, teremos uma confirmação. Para ajustar o Didi Index nos sinais, a Média Mediana foi normalizada, isto é, ela sempre será igual a 0. Para a Média Lenta e a Média Rápida, levaremos em consideração apenas a diferença percentual em relação à Média Mediana.
Além das médias móveis, analisamos se o ADX está em ascensão, com o DI+ acima do DI- para indicar uma tendência de alta, ou se o ADX está subindo, com o DI- acima do DI+ para indicar uma tendência de baixa. Também verificamos se as bandas de Bollinger estão abertas. Com essas condições, teremos uma Agulhada.
Agora vou detalhar como estabeleci isso no indicador e alguns filtros que inseri para o meu uso pessoal, além de alguns sinais adicionais do setup.
# Alerta de Agulhada
Primeiramente, temos o sinal de "Alerta de Agulhada". Este sinal acontece quando a Média Rápida cruza a Média Mediana, junto com a confirmação da tendência no ADX e a abertura das Bandas de Bollinger. O filtro está ajustado em "1", o que significa que só levaremos em consideração o alerta de agulhada quando a diferença percentual entre a Média Lenta e a Média Mediana estiver abaixo de 1%. Esse sinal pode ser utilizado como um ponto de entrada ou para monitorar o ativo. Vamos aos exemplos:
• Para um "Alerta de Compra", a Média Rápida deve cruzar a Média Mediana de baixo para cima, e a diferença percentual entre a Média Lenta e a Média Mediana deve ser menor que +1% e maior que 0, conforme indicado pelo Didi Index.
• Para um "Alerta de Venda", a Média Rápida deve cruzar a Média Mediana de cima para baixo, e a diferença percentual entre a Média Lenta e a Média Mediana deve ser maior que -1% e menor que 0, conforme indicado pelo Didi Index.
Também temos a projeção do alerta, que serve como um sinal para chamar atenção e monitorar o ativo. Eu uso um filtro de "0.1", o que significa que a diferença percentual entre a Média Rápida e a Média Mediana deve ser igual ou menor que 0.1%. Vamos ver o exemplo:
• Para uma "Projeção de Alerta de Compra", a Média Rápida deve estar abaixo da Média Mediana, e a diferença percentual entre a Média Rápida e a Média Mediana deve ser maior que -0.1% e menor que 0. Além disso, a Média Lenta deve estar acima da Média Mediana no Didi Index.
• Para uma "Projeção de Alerta de Compra", a Média Rápida deve estar abaixo da Média Mediana, e a diferença percentual entre a Média Rápida e a Média Mediana deve ser maior que -0.1% e menor que 0. Além disso, a Média Lenta deve estar acima da Média Mediana no Didi Index.
# Agulhada
Após o Alerta de Agulhada, temos a confirmação da Agulhada, que ocorre quando a Média Lenta cruza a Média Mediana após o alerta. Esse sinal é utilizado para entrar na operação. Vamos dividir esse sinal em duas partes:
1. Agulhada: Utilizamos um filtro de "3" (ajustável). Isso significa que, para ser considerada uma "Agulhada", a distância em velas entre o Alerta (cruzamento da Média Rápida com a Média Mediana) e a Confirmação (cruzamento da Média Lenta com a Média Mediana) deve ser igual ou menor que 3 velas. Além disso, é necessário ter uma tendência no ADX e as Bandas de Bollinger devem estar abertas.
2. Agulhada Queijo Minas (QM): Basicamente, é uma agulhada que ocorre fora do filtro, com uma distância em velas entre o Alerta e a Confirmação acima de "3" velas. Também é necessário ter uma tendência no ADX e as Bandas de Bollinger devem estar abertas.
Para antecipar a confirmação da Agulhada, utilizamos o sinal de "Projeção de Agulhada". Esse sinal possui dois filtros: o "Projeção de Agulhada com Alerta", configurado como "0.1%", e o "Projeção de Agulhada após o Alerta", configurado como "0.3%".
1. "Projeção de Agulhada com Alerta" gera o sinal quando ocorre o "Alerta de Agulhada" (cruzamento da Média Rápida com a Média Mediana), desde que a diferença entre a Média Lenta e a Média Mediana seja menor que 0.1%.
2. "Projeção de Agulhada após o Alerta" gera o sinal quando a Média Rápida já cruzou a Média Mediana, e a diferença entre a Média Lenta e a Média Mediana deve ser menor que 0.3%.
# BJMA (Beijo da Mulher Aranha)
Existe uma outra variação da agulhada chamada BJMA. Essencialmente, ocorre quando a Média Rápida e a Média Lenta se aproximam da Média Mediana (cada uma em um polo), mas não cruzam a Mediana e voltam para o lado de onde vieram. Nesse sinal, temos dois filtros: "Delta BJMA vela anterior" e "Delta BJMA vela atual". Vejamos um exemplo:
• BJMA de Compra: Primeiramente, observamos a vela anterior, onde a Média Rápida deve estar acima de 0 (acima da Média Mediana) e a diferença percentual deve ser menor que 0.02. Em relação à Média Lenta, a configuração é a mesma, porém no sentido negativo, ou seja, ela deve estar abaixo de 0 e acima de -0.02. Agora, na vela atual, a Média Rápida deve estar acima de 0 e abaixo de 0.05, enquanto a Média Lenta deve estar abaixo de 0 e acima de -0.05.
• BJMA de Venda: Primeiramente, observamos a vela anterior, onde a Média Rápida deve estar abaixo de 0 (abaixo da Média Mediana) e a diferença percentual deve ser maior que -0.02. Em relação à Média Lenta, a configuração é a mesma, porém no sentido positivo, ou seja, ela deve estar acima de 0 e abaixo de 0.02. Agora, na vela atual, a Média Rápida deve estar abaixo de 0 e acima de -0.05, enquanto a Média Lenta deve estar acima de 0 e abaixo de 0.05.
Agora vamos abordar dois sinais que são normalmente utilizados para manter uma posição.
# Ponto Falso (Fake Point)
O Ponto Falso é usado para identificar uma retração antes de retomar o movimento. Geralmente, ele ocorre após um sinal de Agulhada ou BJMA. Vejamos exemplos:
• Venda Falsa (sinal para manter uma posição de compra): A Média Rápida cruza a Média Mediana de cima para baixo (entrando no polo negativo do Didi Index), enquanto a Média Lenta, que já está abaixo da Média Mediana (abaixo de 0), continua caindo, aumentando assim a diferença percentual entre a Média Lenta e a Média Mediana no polo negativo.
• Compra Falsa (sinal para manter uma posição de venda): O cenário é semelhante, mas no polo positivo. A Média Rápida cruza a Média Mediana, passando para o lado positivo do Didi Index, enquanto a Média Lenta, que já estava acima da Média Mediana, continua aumentando a diferença percentual em relação à Média Mediana. Por exemplo, se a Média Lenta estava em +1 no Didi Index, agora ela está em +1.3.
Também existe uma variação do Ponto Falso em que verificamos se a tendência no ADX está se mantendo na mesma direção. Ou seja, se tivermos uma Venda Falsa (que seria um sinal para permanecermos em uma posição de compra), é importante que o ADX esteja indicando uma tendência de compra, e vice-versa. Dessa forma, consideramos não apenas o cruzamento das médias, mas também a confirmação da tendência no ADX. Essa variação é chamada de Ponto Falso com Tendência (Fake Point with Trend).
# Comprado e Vendido
Esse sinal, essencialmente, verifica se os indicadores estão mantendo a confirmação dos sinais anteriores. Existem duas variações: "Comprado/Vendido" e "Comprado/Vendido sem Bandas de Bollinger". Vejamos um exemplo:
• Comprado: O Didi Index está em compra, o que significa que a Média Rápida está acima da Média Mediana (acima de 0) e a Média Lenta está abaixo da Média Mediana. Além disso, o ADX está indicando uma tendência de compra e as Bandas de Bollinger estão abertas.
• Vendido: O Didi Index está em venda, o que significa que a Média Rápida está abaixo de 0 e a Média Lenta está acima de 0. Além disso, o ADX está indicando uma tendência de venda e as Bandas de Bollinger estão abertas.
• Comprado/Vendido sem Bollinger: É o mesmo sinal, porém sem considerar se as Bandas de Bollinger estão abertas ou não.
Podemos também considerar o "Comprado/Vendido" com base no Trix e no Estocástico, que seriam confirmações adicionais do movimento.
Eu, pessoalmente, não deixo ativado o sinal de Comprado/Vendido.
Agora chegamos aos sinais de saída da posição ou de realização parcial.
# Fechar (Close)
Este sinal de saída baseia-se nos seguintes indicadores: ADX, Bandas de Bollinger, Trix e Estocástico. Aguardamos o Kick do ADX ou o ADX em queda, juntamente com as Bandas de Bollinger se fechando, e o Trix e o Estocástico mudando para o lado oposto. Vamos ver alguns exemplos:
• Fechar uma Compra (Close Buy): O ADX estava em uma tendência de compra (ADX subindo e DI+ acima do DI-), mas em seguida ocorre o Kick do ADX ou o ADX começa a cair. Além disso, as Bandas de Bollinger se fecham e o Trix e o Estocástico devem mudar para o sinal de venda.
• Fechar uma Venda (Close Sell): O ADX estava em uma tendência de venda (ADX subindo e DI- acima do DI+), mas em seguida ocorre o Kick do ADX ou o ADX começa a cair. Além disso, as Bandas de Bollinger se fecham e o Trix e o Estocástico devem mudar para o sinal de compra.
Todos os indicadores devem fornecer os sinais em conjunto, mas não é necessário que todos ocorram exatamente na mesma vela. Por exemplo:
1. Pode ocorrer o Kick do ADX e o Trix e o Estocástico mudarem para o sinal de compra, mas as Bandas de Bollinger ainda permanecerem abertas. Nesse caso, ainda não teremos o sinal de saída.
2. No candle seguinte, o ADX continua caindo (após o Kick), o Trix e o Estocástico continuam indicando compra, mas desta vez as Bandas de Bollinger se fecham. Nesse caso, teremos o sinal de "Fechamento de uma Venda".
É importante que todos os indicadores estejam em conformidade com os sinais necessários, mesmo que ocorram em velas diferentes, para que seja acionado o sinal de saída.
# Fechar com Alerta (Close with Alert)
Esse sinal ocorre quando o Didi Index muda para o lado oposto do que estava, juntamente com uma tendência no ADX, desde que não seja um ponto falso. Vejamos exemplos:
• Fechar Compra - Alerta de Venda: Suponha que estávamos em uma posição de compra no candle anterior. No candle atual, a Média Rápida cruza a Média Mediana de cima para baixo, e o ADX indica uma tendência de venda. Nesse caso, encerramos completamente nossa posição de compra ou realizamos uma realização parcial.
• Fechar Venda – Alerta de Compra: Suponha que estávamos em uma posição de venda no candle anterior. No candle atual, a Média Rápida cruza a Média Mediana de baixo para cima, e o ADX indica uma tendência de compra. Nesse caso, encerramos completamente nossa posição de venda ou realizamos uma realização parcial.
# Divergência no Didi Index e no Estocástico.
O sinal de divergência no Didi Index e no Estocástico é usado para identificar situações onde há uma divergência em um desses indicadores. Quando identificada, uma caixa será desenhada na área onde a divergência ocorreu. Essa área é considerada uma zona de briga ou força.
Dependendo do contexto do gráfico, essas zonas podem ser usadas como pontos de saída total ou parcial das posições. Isso acontece porque pode haver uma correção do movimento após a ocorrência dessas divergências. Em alguns casos, se houver uma vela de ignição que quebre essa zona, ela pode ser usada como um possível ponto de entrada na posição, aproveitando um possível pullback.
É recomendado aguardar o fechamento do candle para levar os sinais em consideração, pois isso permite obter uma confirmação mais sólida.
FalconRed 5 EMA Indicator (Powerofstocks)Improved version:
This indicator is based on Subhashish Pani's "Power of Stocks" 5 EMA Strategy, which aims to identify potential buying and selling opportunities in the market. The indicator plots the 5 EMA (Exponential Moving Average) and generates Buy/Sell signals with corresponding Target and Stoploss levels.
Subhashish Pani's 5 EMA Strategy is a straightforward approach. For intraday trading, a 5-minute timeframe is recommended for selling. In this strategy, you can choose to sell futures, sell calls, or buy puts as part of your selling strategy. The goal is to capture market tops by selling at the peak, anticipating a reversal for profitable trades. Although this strategy may result in frequent stop losses, they are typically small, while the minimum target should be at least three times the risk taken. By staying aligned with the trend, significant profits can be achieved. Subhashish Pani claims that this strategy has a 60% success rate.
Strategy for Selling (Short Future/Call/Stock or Buy Put):
1. When a candle completely closes above the 5 EMA (with no part of the candle touching the 5 EMA), it is considered an Alert Candle.
2. If the next candle is also entirely above the 5 EMA and does not break the low of the previous Alert Candle, ignore the previous Alert Candle and consider the new candle as the new Alert Candle.
3. Continue shifting the Alert Candle in this manner. However, when the next candle breaks the low of the Alert Candle, take a short trade (e.g., short futures, calls, stocks, or buy puts).
4. Set the stop loss above the high of the Alert Candle, and the minimum target should be 1:3 (at least three times the stop loss).
Strategy for Buying (Buy Future/Call/Stock or Sell Put):
1. When a candle completely closes below the 5 EMA (with no part of the candle touching the 5 EMA), it is considered an Alert Candle.
2. If the next candle is also entirely below the 5 EMA and does not break the high of the previous Alert Candle, ignore the previous Alert Candle and consider the new candle as the new Alert Candle.
3. Continue shifting the Alert Candle in this manner. However, when the next candle breaks the high of the Alert Candle, take a long trade (e.g., buy futures, calls, stocks, or sell puts).
4. Set the stop loss below the low of the Alert Candle, and the minimum target should be 1:3 (at least three times the stop loss).
Buy/Sell with Additional Conditions:
An additional condition is added to the buying/selling strategy:
1. Check if the closing price of the current candle is lower than the closing price of the Alert Candle for selling, or higher than the closing price of the Alert Candle for buying.
- This condition aims to filter out false moves, potentially preventing entering trades based on temporary fluctuations. However, it may cause you to miss out on significant moves, as you will enter trades after the candle closes, rather than at the breakout point.
Note: According to Subhashish Pani, the recommended timeframe for intraday buying is 15 minutes. However, this strategy can also be applied to positional/swing trading. If used on a monthly timeframe, it can be beneficial for long-term investing as well. The rules remain the same for all types of trades and timeframes.
If you need a deeper understanding of this strategy, you can search for "Subhashish Pani's (Power of Stocks) 5 EMA Strategy" on YouTube for further explanations.
Note: This strategy is not limited to intraday trading and can be applied to positional/swing
Option ScalperWhat is Scalping?
Scalping is a trading strategy aimed at profiting from quick momentum in a volatile index or stock or any other instrument that can be traded.
Traders who use such strategies place anywhere from 10 to a few hundred trades in a single day.
The idea behind such type of trading is that small moves in an index or stock price are much easier to capture than the larger moves.
Traders who use such strategies are known as scalpers. When you take many small profits a number of times, say 10 points scalped 20 times per day, they can easily add up to large gains.
An Option Buyer's Biggest Enemy is Time Decay and when you scalp, you do not allow the time decay to eat your Option Premium as your Entry and Exit is often quick enough.
What is Option Scalper?
Option Scalper indicator is a momentum-based indicator that tries to detect momentum based upon a number of factors as given below:
(1) Price action accumulated over a period of time when big candles are nowhere
(2) Repeatedly Occurring, certain Candle patterns which indicate if buyers have the upper hand or sellers are ruling the market.
(3) Gradient of moving averages which shows consistency of net buying/selling force
(4) Price jumping normal distribution line and landing in outlying areas, signalling increasing momentum of buying/selling activity.
Based upon the above factors, when Option Scalper thinks a move has the potential to turn into a big move, it generates its Buy/Sell Signals.
When aggressive buying or selling starts where Buying & Selling Forces become unequal, the Price starts moving in one direction with candles making Higher Highs or Lower Lows, moving average lines start scaling up or down or volumes start increasing.
Option Scalper detects these (1) Higher Highs or Lower Lows, (2) scaling up moving average lines, and/or (3) price breaking out of channels; and generates Buy or Sell signals.
In order to use this indicator, simply deploy this on your chart, and wait for Buy/Sell signals. When a Buy/Sell Signal appears, a small line starts forming up at the closing level of Buy/Sell signal candle. Your Entry will be above that line for Buy Signal and below that line for Sell Signal.
It works on all time frames.
Whenever a Buy Signal is followed by Sell signal (let it be after 7 - 8 candles or after many candles) or vice-versa, you have to switch your position to make most of the reverse move.
It is a general purpose indicator and may be used on stocks, commodities, forex and any other instruments alike and is not meant for any specific market.
How to Take Buy/Sell Entry with Option Scalper?
Whenever a Buy/Sell Signal appears on a candle, Option Scalper starts marking its closing price with a horizontal line that keeps extending towards right side with every new candle. This line is Blue in Color for Buy Signal and dark golden color for Sell Signal.
Initially this horizontal line will be very small but as more and more candles appear with the passage of time, the length of the line keeps increasing.
The purpose of this line is to mark the closing price of Signal candle and you have to take your Buy Entry above this line (if last signal is BUY) or you have to take your trade Below this line (if last signal is SELL).
The indicator will also draw another line at the Opening Price of Signal Candle, which can act as your initial stop loss. If trade starts moving in your direction and price goes above upper variance line (light green curvy line) or goes below lower variance line (purple wavy line), then that line becomes your trailing stop loss line from that point onwards.
The indicator also marks the consolidation zone for you. If the Buy/Sell Signal has come but price is in consolidation zone (grey colour cloud), do not take any positions yet and wait for the price to come out of the cloud and breach the Entry Line.
Exiting Buy/Sell Positions and Re-Entry Rules
1. Exiting your Buy Trade: When a Buy Trade is active, indicator can detect where the ongoing upmove may end or retrace for a while and it will print an X symbol (RED COLOR) to warn you. After you see a Red Color X symbol, if price starts making lower lows, you can exit your Buy Trade there or if you are in good profit, you can wait for the price to go below upper variance line (the green color Trailing Stop Loss Line for Buy Trade). See the image below for Red Color X symbol which warns you to be prepared for EXIT from Buy Trade:
2. Re-Entry for Buy Trade: If the last signal on your chart is still Buy Signal but your stop loss has been hit once or twice and you have no open positions now, you can RE-ENTER in buy trade if and when price again climbs above the grey cloud.
3. Exiting your Sell Trade: When a Sell Trade is active, indicator can detect where the ongoing down-move may end or retrace for a while and it will print an X symbol (Green COLOR) to warn you. After you see a Green Color X symbol, if price starts making higher highs, you can exit your Sell Trade there or if you are in good profit, you can wait for the price to go above lower variance line (the purple color Trailing Stop Loss Line for Sell Trade).
4. Re-Entry for Sell Trade: If the last signal on your chart is Sell Signal but your stop loss has been hit once or twice and you have no open positions now, you can RE-ENTER in Sell trade if and when price again crosses below the grey color cloud.
See the image below for recognizing Red and Green X symbols which indicate that temporary retracement or reversal signal is developing:
What are the other features of Option Scalper?
1. End to End Horizontal Support/Resistance Lines: Indicator also detects, prints and deletes horizontal support and resistance lines which can help in your trading decisions. For example, a Buy Signal comes and price crosses above upper variance line and also crosses nearby horizontal resistance line means it has higher probability of moving further up. The reverse is also true (for Sell Signal). See an example of a resistance line below:
2. Star Symbols: If 5 or more consecutive candles are of the same color, then Star Symbol (*) starts appearing above or below the candles. When price has moved too high or too low from the upper or lower variance line, these stars indicate that there is higher probability of retracement happening now which should prompt you to book full or partial profit. See the circled stars in the below image
3. Color Changing Candles: If a candle changes its color from Red to Purple or from Green to light green, they indicate increased intensity of Selling or Buying activity. For example, if each 1 min candle within a 5 min candle is red, then that 5 min candle will turn purple which means Selling pressure is too much and there are very few or no buyers at all. Reverse is also true when Green Candle becomes Light Green. Example images of such candles can be seen below:
4. Consolidation Zone: It is very important for an option buyer to strike only when there is momentum and not to take any fresh trade (or if you already have a position, then closing it for the time being) when price is in consolidation zone. Consolidation zone is marked by a grey colour cloud as seen in below image.
What Type of Alerts Can be Set up: You can set up 3 type of alerts with this indicator (a) Buy Entry Signal which happens when Price closes above the marked Buy Price Level (b) Sell Signal which happens when Price closes below the marked Sell Price Level or (c) Any signal (if you want to be alerted when either Buy or Sell Signal happens)

Pressure - Buying and SellingThis is the Pressure Indicator.
The Pressure Indicator analyzes a number of price ratios to measure the pressure of Buyers and Sellers.
I’ve also added to the indicator:
1) Moving Averages (MA) – You can choose 3 types of MA:
- Simple Moving Average (SMA)
- Exponential Moving Average (EMA) - default
- Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA)
- Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA)
By default the MA are not displayed. You can turn them on or off.
2) Standard Deviation Bands and MA Bands – Bands only for the MA type 1 selection. Usually, the Pressureis inside the Bands. If it is beyond the Bands that could mean the current trend is ending. The MA Bands are turned off by default but you can turn them on the Styles Tab Menu.
3) Levels for Overbought and Oversold Zones:
- Gray Overbought 60
- Gray Oversold 40
4) Levels for Buying and Selling Pressure (3 types of pressure + 1 more). If the Pressure is crossing various intermediate levels that means there is Buying or Selling Pressure at those levels.
5) Signals for Crossing Overbought and Oversold Levels:
- Top Red fills for Crossing Down Overbought Level
- Bottom Lime fills for Crossing Up Oversold Level
6) Signals for Buying and Selling Pressure:
- Buy Pressure 1 and 2 are the smaller lime dots.
- Buy Pressure 1 and 2 together are the bigger lime dots.
- Buy Pressure 3 (Crossing Deviation Bands Up) are the blue dots.
- Sell Pressure 1 and 2 are the smaller red dots.
- Sell Pressure 1 and 2 together are the bigger red dots.
- Sell Pressure 3 (Crossing Deviation Bands Down) are the orange dots.
If there are more than one dot appearing at the same moment they will appear displaced in a vertical way at the same time.
If there is something wrong with the code or its calculations, please let me know.
If you want to modify or improve the code, feel free to do that, but please let me know the changes you made.
This Indicator is very accurate when using the Weekly Timeframe . I hope you enjoy it!
Power Of Stocks - Bollinger Band & 5Ema Indicator - Keanu_RiTz
Power of Stocks - Bollinger band & 5ema Strategy

3. 5ema Strategy :- use the 5ema Strategy to trade.
1. Combined Strategy :-
for Selling :- we will go short/sell only when conditions of both strategies are satisfied.
i.e. when a candle is completely above the upper Bollinger band & completely above the 5ema then it will be our Alert Candle.
We Short/Sell only when the low of the Alert candle is broken or when the candle closes below the close of the Alert Candle.

Subhashish Pani's (power of stocks) 5 EMA Strategy:-
It plots 5 EMA and Buy/Sell signals with Target & Stoploss levels.
What is Subhashish Pani's (power of stocks) 5 EMA Strategy :-
His strategy is very simple to understand. for intraday use 5 minutes timeframe for selling. You can sell futures, sell call or buy Puts in selling strategy.
What this strategy tries to do is , it tries to catch the tops, so when you sell at top & it turns out to be a reversal point then you can get good profit.
this will hit stop losses often, but stop losses are small and minimum target should be 1:3. but if you stay with the trend you can get big profits.
According to Subhashish Pani this strategy has 60% success rate.
Strategy for Selling (Short future/Call/stock or buy Put)
When ever a Candle closes completely above 5 ema (no part of candle should be touching the 5ema), then that candle should be considered as Alert Candle.
If the next candle is also completely above 5 ema and it has not broken the low of previous alert candle, Then the previous Alert Candle should be ignored and the new candle should be considered as new Alert Candle.
so if this goes on then continue shifting the Alert Candle, but whenever the next candle breaks the low of the Alert Candle we should take the Short trade (Short future/Call/stock or buy Put).
Stoploss will be above high of the Alert Candle and minimum target will be 1:3.
Strategy for Buying (Buy future/Call/stock or sell Put)
When ever a Candle closes completely below 5 ema (no part of candle should be touching the 5ema), then that candle should be considered as Alert Candle.
If the next candle is also completely below 5 ema and it has not broken the high of previous alert candle, Then the previous Alert Candle should be ignored and the new candle should be considered as new Alert Candle.
so if this goes on then continue shifting the Alert Candle, but whenever the next candle breaks the high of the Alert Candle we should take the Long trade (Buy future/Call/stock or sell Put).
Stoploss will be below low of the Alert Candle and minimum target will be 1:3.
Buy/Sell with extra conditions :
it just adds 1 more condition to buying/selling
1. checks if closing of current candle is lower than alert candles closing for Selling & checks if closing of current candle is higher than alert candles closing for Buyling.
This can sometimes save you from false moves but by using this, you can also miss out on big moves as you'll enter trade after candle closing instead of entering at break of high/low.
Note :- According to Subhashish Pani Timeframe for intraday buying should be 15 minutes Timeframe.
If you haven't understood the strategy by reading above description, then search for "Subhashish Pani's (power of stocks) 5 EMA Strategy" on YouTube to get a deeper understanding.
Note:- This is not only for Intraday trading , you can use this strategy for Positional/Swing trading as well. If you use this on Monthly Timeframe then it can be very good for Long Term Investing as well.
Rules will be same for all types of trades & Timeframes.
PowerOfStocks_5EMAThis indicator is based of Subhashish Pani's (power of stocks) 5 EMA Strategy.
It plots 5 EMA and Buy/Sell signals with Target & Stoploss levels.
What is Subhashish Pani's (power of stocks) 5 EMA Strategy :-
His strategy is very simple to understand. for intraday use 5 minutes timeframe for selling. You can sell futures, sell call or buy Puts in selling strategy.
What this strategy tries to do is , it tries to catch the tops, so when you sell at top & it turns out to be a reversal point then you can get good profit.
this will hit stop losses often, but stop losses are small and minimum target should be 1:3. but if you stay with the trend you can get big profits.
According to Subhashish Pani this strategy has 60% success rate.
Strategy for Selling (Short future/Call/stock or buy Put)
When ever a Candle closes completely above 5 ema (no part of candle should be touching the 5ema), then that candle should be considered as Alert Candle.
If the next candle is also completely above 5 ema and it has not broken the low of previous alert candle, Then the previous Alert Candle should be ignored and the new candle should be considered as new Alert Candle.
so if this goes on then continue shifting the Alert Candle, but whenever the next candle breaks the low of the Alert Candle we should take the Short trade (Short future/Call/stock or buy Put).
Stoploss will be above high of the Alert Candle and minimum target will be 1:3.
Strategy for Buying (Buy future/Call/stock or sell Put)
When ever a Candle closes completely below 5 ema (no part of candle should be touching the 5ema), then that candle should be considered as Alert Candle.
If the next candle is also completely below 5 ema and it has not broken the high of previous alert candle, Then the previous Alert Candle should be ignored and the new candle should be considered as new Alert Candle.
so if this goes on then continue shifting the Alert Candle, but whenever the next candle breaks the high of the Alert Candle we should take the Long trade (Buy future/Call/stock or sell Put).
Stoploss will be below low of the Alert Candle and minimum target will be 1:3.

TriexDev - SuperBuySellTrend (PLUS+)Minimal but powerful.
Have been using this for myself, so thought it would be nice to share publicly. Of course no script is correct 100% of the time, but this is one of if not the best in my basic tools. (This is the expanded/PLUS version)

Using the "plus" version is optional, if you only want the buy/sell signals - use the "base" version.
## What are vector candles?
Vector Candles (inspired to add from TradersReality/MT4) are candles that are colour coded to indicate higher volumes, and likely flip points / direction changes, or confirmations.
These are based off of PVSRA (Price, Volume, Support, Resistance Analysis).
You can also override the currency that this runs off of, including multiple ones - however adding more may slow things down.
PVSRA - From MT4 source:
Situation "Climax"
Bars with volume >= 200% of the average volume of the 10 previous chart TFs, and bars
where the product of candle spread x candle volume is >= the highest for the 10 previous
chart time TFs.
Default Colours: Bull bars are green and bear bars are red.
Situation "Volume Rising Above Average"
Bars with volume >= 150% of the average volume of the 10 previous chart TFs.
Default Colours: Bull bars are blue and bear are blue-violet.
A blue or purple bar can mean the chart has reached a top or bottom.
High volume bars during a movement can indicate a big movement is coming - or a top/bottom if bulls/bears are unable to break that point - or the volume direction has flipped.
This can also just be a healthy short term movement in the opposite direction - but at times sets obvious trend shifts.
## Volume Tracking
You can shift-click any candle to get the volume of that candle (in the pair token/stock), if you click and drag - you will see the volume for that range.
## Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands can be enabled in the settings via the toggle.
Bollinger Bands are designed to discover opportunities that give investors a higher probability of properly identifying when an asset is oversold (bottom lines) or overbought (top lines).
>There are three lines that compose Bollinger Bands: A simple moving average (middle band) and an upper and lower band.
>The upper and lower bands are typically 2 standard deviations +/- from a 20-day simple moving average, but they can be modified.

Base Indicator
## What is ATR?
The average true range (ATR) is a technical analysis indicator, which measures market volatility by decomposing the entire range of an asset price for that period.
The true range indicator is taken as the greatest of the following:
- current high - the current low;
- the absolute value of the current high - the previous close;
- and the absolute value of the current low - the previous close.
The ATR is then a moving average, generally using 10/14 days, of the true ranges.
## What does this indicator do?
Uses the ATR and multipliers to help you predict price volatility, ranges and trend direction.
> The buy and sell signals are generated when the indicator starts
plotting either on top of the closing price or below the closing price. A buy signal is generated when the ‘Supertrend’ closes above the price and a sell signal is generated when it closes below the closing price.
> It also suggests that the trend is shifting from descending mode to ascending mode. Contrary to this, when a ‘Supertrend’ closes above the price, it generates a sell signal as the colour of the indicator changes into red.
> A ‘Supertrend’ indicator can be used on equities, futures or forex, or even crypto markets and also on daily, weekly and hourly charts as well, but generally, it will be less effective in a sideways-moving market.

## Usage Notes
Two indicators will appear, the default ATR multipliers are already set for what I believe to be perfect for this particular (double indicator) strategy.
If you want to break it yourself (I couldn't find anything that tested more accurately myself), you can do so in the settings once you have added the indicator.
Basic rundown:
- A single Buy/Sell indicator in the dim colour; may be setting a direction change, or just healthy movement.
- When the brighter Buy/Sell indicator appears; it often means that a change in direction (uptrend or downtrend) is confirmed.
---
You can see here, there was a (brighter) green indicator which flipped down then up into a (brighter) red sell indicator which set the downtrend. At the end it looks like it may be starting to break the downtrend - as the price is hitting the trend line. (Would watch for whether it holds above or drops below at that point)
Another example, showing how sometimes it can still be correct but take some time to play out - with some arrow indicators.
Typically I would also look at oscillators, RSI and other things to confirm - but here it held above the trend lines nicely, so it appeared to be rather obvious.
It's worth paying attention to the trend lines and where the candles are sitting.
Once you understand/get a feel for the basics of how it works - it can become a very useful tool in your trading arsenal.
Also works for traditional markets & commodities etc in the same way / using the same ATR multipliers, however of course crypto generally has bigger moves.
---
You can use this and other indicators to confirm likeliness of a direction change prior to the brighter/confirmation one appearing - but just going by the 2nd(brighter) indicators, I have found it to be surprisingly accurate.
Tends to work well on virtually all timeframes, but personally prefer to use it on 5min,15min,1hr, 4hr, daily, weekly. Will still work for shorter/other timeframes, but may be more accurate on mid ones.
---
This will likely be updated as I go / find useful additions that don't convolute things. The base indicator may be updated with some limited / toggle-able features in future also.
