ORB Algo | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new ORB Algo indicator! ORB stands for "Opening Range Breakout" which is a common trading strategy. The indicator can analyze the market trend in the current session and give "Buy / Sell", "Take Profit" and "Stop Loss" signals. For more information about the analyzing process of the indicator, you can read "How Does It Work ?" section of the description.
Features of the new ORB Algo indicator :
Buy & Sell Signals
Up To 3 Take Profit Signals
Stop-Loss Signals
Alerts for Buy / Sell, Take-Profit and Stop-Loss
Customizable Algoritm
Session Dashboard
Backtesting Dashboard
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
This indicator works best in 1-minute timeframe. The idea is that the trend of the current session can be forecasted by analyzing the market for a while after the session starts. However, each market has it's own dynamics and the algorithm will need fine-tuning to get the best performance possible. So, we've implemented a "Backtesting Dashboard" that shows the past performance of the algorithm in the current ticker with your current settings. Always keep in mind that past performance does not guarantee future results.
Here are the steps of the algorithm explained briefly :
1. The algorithm follows and analyzes the first 30 minutes (can be adjusted) of the session.
2. Then, algorithm checks for breakouts of the opening range's high or low.
3. If a breakout happens in a bullish or a bearish direction, the algorithm will now check for retests of the breakout. Depending on the sensitivity setting, there must be 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 failed retests for the breakout to be considered as reliable.
4. If the breakout is reliable, the algorithm will give an entry signal.
5. After the position entry, algorithm will now wait for Take-Profit or Stop-Loss zones and signal if any of them occur.
If you wonder how does the indicator find Take-Profit & Stop-Loss zones, you can check the "Settings" section of the description.
🚩UNIQUENESS
While there are indicators that show the opening range of the session, they come short with features like indicating breakouts, entries, and Take-Profit & Stop-Loss zones. We are also aware of that different stock markets have different dynamics, and tuning the algorithm for different markets is really important for better results, so we decided to make the algorithm fully customizable. Besides all that, our indicator contains a detailed backtesting dashboard, so you can see past performance of the algorithm in the current ticker. While past performance does not yield any guarantee for future results, we believe that a backtesting dashboard is necessary for tuning the algorithm. Another strength of this indicator is that there are multiple options for detection of Take-Profit and Stop-Loss zones, which the trader can select one of their liking.
⚙️SETTINGS
Keep in mind that best chart timeframe for this indicator to work is the 1-minute timeframe.
TP = Take-Profit
SL = Stop-Loss
EMA = Exponential Moving Average
OR = Opening Range
ATR = Average True Range
1. Algorithm
ORB Timeframe -> This setting determines the timeframe that the algorithm will analyze the market after a new session begins before giving any signals. It's important to experiment with this setting and find the best option that suits the current ticker for the best performance. More volatile stocks will often require this setting to be larger, while more stabilized stocks may have this setting shorter.
Sensitivity -> This setting determines how much failed retests are needed to take a position entry. Higher senstivity means that less retests are needed to consider the breakout as reliable. If you think that the current ticker makes strong movements in a bullish & bearish direction after a breakout, you should set this setting higher. If you think the opposite, meaning that the ticker does not decide the trend right after a breakout, this setting show be lower.
(High = 0 Retests, Medium = 1 Retest, Low = 2 Retests, Lowest = 3 Retests)
Breakout Condition -> The condition for the algorithm to detect breakouts.
Close = Bar needs to close higher than the OR High Line in a bullish breakout, or lower than the OR Low Line in a bearish breakout. EMA = The EMA of the bar must be higher / lower than OR Lines instead of the close price.
TP Method -> The method for the algorithm to use when determining TP zones.
Dynamic = This TP method essentially tries to find the bar that price starts declining the current trend and going to the other direction, and puts a TP zone there. To achieve this, it uses an EMA line, and when the close price of a bar crosses the EMA line, It's a TP spot.
ATR = In this TP method, instead of a dynamic approach the TP zones are pre-determined using the ATR of the entry bar. This option is generally for traders who just want to know their TP spots beforehand while trading. Selecting this option will also show TP zones at the ORB Dashboard.
"Dynamic" option generally performs better, while the "ATR" method is safer to use.
EMA Length -> This setting determines the length of the EMA line used in "Dynamic TP method" and "EMA Breakout Condition". This is completely up to the trader's choice, though the default option should generally perform well. You might want to experiment with this setting and find the optimal length for the current ticker.
Stop-Loss -> Algorithm will place the Stop-Loss zone using setting.
Safer = The SL zone will be placed closer to the OR High for a bullish entry, and closer to the OR Low for a bearish entry.
Balanced = The SL zone will be placed in the center of OR High & OR Low
Risky = The SL zone will be placed closer to the OR Low for a bullish entry, and closer to the OR High for a bearish entry.
Adaptive SL -> This option only takes effect if the first TP zone is hit.
Enabled = After the 1st TP zone is hit, the SL zone will be moved to the entry price, essentially making the position risk-free.
Disabled = The SL zone will never change.
2. ORB Dashboard
ORB Dashboard shows the information about the current session.
3. ORB Backtesting
ORB Backtesting Dashboard allows you to see past performance of the algorithm in the current ticker with current settings.
Total amount of days that can be backtested depends on your TV subscription.
Backtesting Exit Ratios -> You can select how much of percent your entry will be closed at any TP zone while backtesting. For example, %90, %5, %5 means that %90 of the position will be closed at the first TP zone, %5 of it will be closed at the 2nd TP zone, and %5 of it will be closed at the last TP zone.

[imba]lance algo🟩 INTRODUCTION
Hello, everyone!
Please take the time to review this description and source code to utilize this script to its fullest potential.
🟩 CONCEPTS
This is a trend indicator. The trend is the 0.5 fibonacci level for a certain period of time.
A trend change occurs when at least one candle closes above the level of 0.236 (for long) or below 0.786 (for short). Also it has massive amout of settings and features more about this below.
With good settings, the indicator works great on any market and any time frame!
A distinctive feature of this indicator is its backtest panel. With which you can dynamically view the results of setting up a strategy such as profit, what the deposit size is, etc.
Please note that the profit is indicated as a percentage of the initial deposit. It is also worth considering that all profit calculations are based on the risk % setting.
🟩 FEATURES
First, I want to show you what you see on the chart. And I’ll show you everything closer and in more detail.
1. Position
2. Statistic panel
3. Backtest panel
Indicator settings:
Let's go in order:
1. Strategies
This setting is responsible for loading saved strategies. There are only two preset settings, MANUAL and UNIVERSAL. If you choose any strategy other than MANUAL, then changing the settings for take profits, stop loss, sensitivity will not bring any results.
You can also save your customized strategies, this is discussed in a separate paragraph “🟩HOW TO SAVE A STRATEGY”
2. Sensitive
Responsible for the time period in bars to create Fibonacci levels
3. Start calculating date
This is the time to start backtesting strategies
4. Position group
Show checkbox - is responsible for displaying positions
Fill checkbox - is responsible for filling positions with background
Risk % - is responsible for what percentage of the deposit you are willing to lose if there is a stop loss
BE target - here you can choose when you reach which take profit you need to move your stop loss to breakeven
Initial deposit- starting deposit for profit calculation
5. Stoploss group
Fixed stoploss % checkbox - If choosed: stoploss will be calculated manually depending on the setting below( formula: entry_price * (1 - stoploss percent)) If NOT choosed: stoploss will be ( formula: fibonacci level(0.786/0.236) * (1 + stoploss percent))
6. Take profit group
This group of settings is responsible for how far from the entry point take profits will be and what % of the position to fix
7. RSI
Responsible for configuring the built-in RSI. Suitable bars will be highlighted with crosses above or below, depending on overbought/oversold
8. Infopanels group
Here I think everything is clear, you can hide or show information panels
9. Developer mode
If enabled, all events that occur will be shown, for example, reaching a take profit or stop loss with detailed information about the unfixed balance of the position
🟩 HOW TO USE
Very simple. All you need is to wait for the trend to change to long or short, you will immediately see a stop loss and four take profits, and you will also see prices. Like in this picture:
🟩 ALERTS
There are 3 types of alerts:
1. Long signal
2. Short signal
3. Any alert() function call - will be send to you json with these fields
{
"side": "LONG",
"entry": "64.454",
"tp1": "65.099",
"tp2": "65.743",
"tp3": "66.388",
"tp4": "67.032",
"winrate": "35.42%",
"strategy": "MANUAL",
"beTargetTrigger": "1",
"stop": "64.44"
}
🟩 HOW TO SAVE A STRATEGY
First, you need to make sure that the “MANUAL” strategy is selected in the strategy settings.
After this, you can start selecting parameters that will show the largest profit in the statistics panel.
I have highlighted what you need to pay attention to when choosing a strategy
Let's assume you have set up a strategy. The main question is how to preserve it?
Let’s say the strategy turned out with the following parameters:
Next we need to find this section of code:
// STRATS
selector(string strategy_name) =>
strategy_settings = Strategy_settings.new()
switch strategy_name
"MANUAL" =>
strategy_settings.sensitivity := 18
strategy_settings.risk_percent := 1
strategy_settings.break_even_target := "1"
strategy_settings.tp1_percent := 1
strategy_settings.tp1_percent_fix := 40
strategy_settings.tp2_percent := 2
strategy_settings.tp2_percent_fix := 30
strategy_settings.tp3_percent := 3
strategy_settings.tp3_percent_fix := 20
strategy_settings.tp4_percent := 4
strategy_settings.tp4_percent_fix := 10
strategy_settings.fixed_stop := false
strategy_settings.sl_percent := 0.0
"UNIVERSAL" =>
strategy_settings.sensitivity := 20
strategy_settings.risk_percent := 1
strategy_settings.break_even_target := "1"
strategy_settings.tp1_percent := 1
strategy_settings.tp1_percent_fix := 40
strategy_settings.tp2_percent := 2
strategy_settings.tp2_percent_fix := 30
strategy_settings.tp3_percent := 3
strategy_settings.tp3_percent_fix := 20
strategy_settings.tp4_percent := 4
strategy_settings.tp4_percent_fix := 10
strategy_settings.fixed_stop := false
strategy_settings.sl_percent := 0.0
// "NEW STRATEGY" =>
// strategy_settings.sensitivity := 20
// strategy_settings.risk_percent := 1
// strategy_settings.break_even_target := "1"
// strategy_settings.tp1_percent := 1
// strategy_settings.tp1_percent_fix := 40
// strategy_settings.tp2_percent := 2
// strategy_settings.tp2_percent_fix := 30
// strategy_settings.tp3_percent := 3
// strategy_settings.tp3_percent_fix := 20
// strategy_settings.tp4_percent := 4
// strategy_settings.tp4_percent_fix := 10
// strategy_settings.fixed_stop := false
// strategy_settings.sl_percent := 0.0
strategy_settings
// STRATS
Let's uncomment on the latest strategy called "NEW STRATEGY" rename it to "SOL 5m" and change the sensitivity:
// STRATS
selector(string strategy_name) =>
strategy_settings = Strategy_settings.new()
switch strategy_name
"MANUAL" =>
strategy_settings.sensitivity := 18
strategy_settings.risk_percent := 1
strategy_settings.break_even_target := "1"
strategy_settings.tp1_percent := 1
strategy_settings.tp1_percent_fix := 40
strategy_settings.tp2_percent := 2
strategy_settings.tp2_percent_fix := 30
strategy_settings.tp3_percent := 3
strategy_settings.tp3_percent_fix := 20
strategy_settings.tp4_percent := 4
strategy_settings.tp4_percent_fix := 10
strategy_settings.fixed_stop := false
strategy_settings.sl_percent := 0.0
"UNIVERSAL" =>
strategy_settings.sensitivity := 20
strategy_settings.risk_percent := 1
strategy_settings.break_even_target := "1"
strategy_settings.tp1_percent := 1
strategy_settings.tp1_percent_fix := 40
strategy_settings.tp2_percent := 2
strategy_settings.tp2_percent_fix := 30
strategy_settings.tp3_percent := 3
strategy_settings.tp3_percent_fix := 20
strategy_settings.tp4_percent := 4
strategy_settings.tp4_percent_fix := 10
strategy_settings.fixed_stop := false
strategy_settings.sl_percent := 0.0
"SOL 5m" =>
strategy_settings.sensitivity := 15
strategy_settings.risk_percent := 1
strategy_settings.break_even_target := "1"
strategy_settings.tp1_percent := 1
strategy_settings.tp1_percent_fix := 40
strategy_settings.tp2_percent := 2
strategy_settings.tp2_percent_fix := 30
strategy_settings.tp3_percent := 3
strategy_settings.tp3_percent_fix := 20
strategy_settings.tp4_percent := 4
strategy_settings.tp4_percent_fix := 10
strategy_settings.fixed_stop := false
strategy_settings.sl_percent := 0.0
strategy_settings
// STRATS
Now let's find this code:
strategy_input = input.string(title = "STRATEGY", options = , defval = "MANUAL", tooltip = "EN:\nTo manually configure the strategy, select MANUAL otherwise, changing the settings won't have any effect\nRU:\nЧтобы настроить стратегию вручную, выберите MANUAL в противном случае изменение настроек не будет иметь никакого эффекта")
And let's add our new strategy there, it turned out like this:
strategy_input = input.string(title = "STRATEGY", options = , defval = "MANUAL", tooltip = "EN:\nTo manually configure the strategy, select MANUAL otherwise, changing the settings won't have any effect\nRU:\nЧтобы настроить стратегию вручную, выберите MANUAL в противном случае изменение настроек не будет иметь никакого эффекта")
That's all. Our new strategy is now saved! It's simple! Now we can select it in the list of strategies:

█ OVERVIEW
This library holds technical analysis functions calculating values for which no Pine built-in exists.
Look first. Then leap.
█ FUNCTIONS
cagr(entryTime, entryPrice, exitTime, exitPrice)
It calculates the "Compound Annual Growth Rate" between two points in time. The CAGR is a notional, annualized growth rate that assumes all profits are reinvested. It only takes into account the prices of the two end points — not drawdowns, so it does not calculate risk. It can be used as a yardstick to compare the performance of two instruments. Because it annualizes values, the function requires a minimum of one day between the two end points (annualizing returns over smaller periods of times doesn't produce very meaningful figures).
Parameters:
entryTime : The starting timestamp.
entryPrice : The starting point's price.
exitTime : The ending timestamp.
exitPrice : The ending point's price.
Returns: CAGR in % (50 is 50%). Returns `na` if there is not >=1D between `entryTime` and `exitTime`, or until the two time points have not been reached by the script.

Neeson Vegas ChannelVegas Channel Indicator: A Comprehensive Multi-Timeframe Trend-Following System
Originality and Conceptual Foundation
This script implements an enhanced version of the classic "Vegas Tunnel" or "Vegas Channel" methodology, popularized by traders who follow the work associated with the "Vegas" technique. Its primary original contribution lies in its specific, rule-based multi-layered trend identification and visualization system. While the core uses well-known Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), the originality is in the precise combination of periods and the strict, hierarchical logic for defining trend states and generating signals.
Unlike simpler moving average crossovers or single-tunnel systems, this script employs three distinct EMA pairs, each serving a unique purpose within the trend hierarchy:
Short-Term Momentum Pair (EMA 12 & 24): Acts as the primary signal trigger and momentum gauge.
Core Trend Tunnel (EMA 144 & 169): Serves as the central "channel" or "tunnel." A key visual and logical component is the shading between these two lines, which thickens and changes color with the trend, creating a dynamic channel.
Long-Term Foundation Pair (EMA 580 & 670): Represents the underlying, slower-moving trend foundation, providing context for the higher-timeframe bias.
The system's true innovation is its binary and exclusive trend definition logic. It does not rely on a single crossover. Instead, it defines a confirmed Uptrend only when both the short-term EMAs (12 and 24) are established above both lines of the core tunnel (144 and 169). Conversely, a Downtrend is confirmed only when both short-term EMAs are established below both core tunnel lines. This creates a high-confidence filter, reducing whipsaw signals that can occur when price oscillates around a single moving average.
Functionality, Implementation, and Usage
What It Does:
This indicator is a multi-timeframe trend identification and signal-generation tool. It visually condenses trend information from short, medium, and long-term perspectives onto a single chart. Its primary functions are:
Trend State Classification: It dynamically classifies the market into one of three states: Bull Trend (Blue), Bear Trend (Orange), or Sideways/Congestion (Gray). This is reflected in the chart's background color, the color of all EMA lines, and the fill of the central 144/169 channel.
Signal Generation: It plots discrete buy and sell arrows. A Buy Signal (blue upward triangle) appears the first bar the market transitions into the defined "Uptrend" state from a non-uptrend state. A Sell Signal (orange downward triangle) appears the first bar the market transitions into the defined "Downtrend" state.
Visual Structuring: It plots all six EMAs and prominently highlights the interaction zone between the 144 and 169 EMAs with a colored fill, making the "tunnel" a focal point for support/resistance and trend quality assessment.
How It's Implemented:
The logic is implemented through a clear sequence of conditional checks:
Calculation: All six EMAs are calculated based on user-definable periods (defaults as listed).
Trend Logic: The script continuously evaluates the position of EMA12 and EMA24 relative to EMA144 and EMA169 using strict AND conditions to define the uptrend and downtrend Boolean variables.
Signal Logic: A signal (buy or sell) is generated only on the change of the trend state. It uses a check of the form current_trend_state AND (NOT previous_bar_trend_state) to pinpoint the exact bar of transition.
Visual Feedback: All plot colors, the channel fill color, and the background color are unified and determined by the current trend state variable. Labels for the trend and each EMA line are drawn on the last bar for clarity.
How to Use It:
Traders employ this indicator primarily for trend-following and breakout confirmation. It is suited for swing trading or higher-timeframe positional trades rather than scalping, due to the lag inherent in its longer EMAs and its focus on confirmed states.
Trend Bias: The overall color scheme (blue/orange/gray background) provides an immediate, at-a-glance assessment of the dominant trend force. Trading in the direction of the colored background is considered aligned with the system's trend.
Signal Entry: The arrow signals are not meant for blind entry. They mark the point of a confirmed trend state transition.
A Buy Signal suggests the short-term momentum (12,24) has decisively broken above and established itself over the medium-term trend framework (144,169). This could be used as a trigger for long entries, preferably with the long-term EMAs (580,670) sloping upwards or flat, adding confluence.
A Sell Signal suggests the opposite breakdown.
Channel as Dynamic S/R: The filled area between EMA144 and EMA169 acts as a dynamic support zone in an uptrend and a resistance zone in a downtrend. Pullbacks into this "tunnel" that hold without triggering a sell signal (i.e., without both EMA12 & 24 closing back below both tunnel lines) can be viewed as potential continuation opportunities.
Filter for Other Systems: The clear trend state (uptrend/downtrend) can be exported or used as a filter for other trading systems or discretionary decisions, ensuring actions are only taken in the direction of the script's defined trend.
Core Computational Philosophy and Strategic Rationale
The script's logic is rooted in the philosophy of trend hierarchy and confirmation. It belongs to the category of Multi-Moving Average Convergence/Divergence Systems with State-Based Rules.
The 144/169 Tunnel: These numbers are derived from Fibonacci sequences (144, 169 is 12^2 and 13^2). They are believed by proponents to represent a natural rhythm or "heartbeat" of the market, defining a robust intermediate-term trend framework.
The 12/24 Pair: A standard fast-moving average pair commonly used to gauge short-term momentum and trigger entries.
The Strategic Innovation (Dual-Condition Crossover): The core idea is that a crossover of a single fast MA above a single slow MA can be false and noisy. By requiring both members of a fast pair to establish position relative to both members of a slower "tunnel" pair, the system demands a broader, more concerted move. This seeks to filter out weak, unsustainable breaks and only capture shifts in momentum strong enough to flip the entire short-term structure's position relative to the medium-term structure.
The 580/670 Pair: These very slow EMAs represent the "secular" trend. While not part of the direct signal logic, they provide critical context. A buy signal that occurs while price is above the 580/670 pair (which would be sloping up in a healthy bull market) carries more weight than one that occurs while price is below this long-term foundation, which might indicate a counter-trend rally.
In essence, this script is more than just moving averages on a chart. It is a systematic, rule-based framework for identifying when the market's short-term energy (12,24) has converged sufficiently to overcome and reposition itself against its medium-term equilibrium (144/169 tunnel), thereby signaling a high-probability phase change in trend, all while considering the backdrop of a long-term trend (580/670).
able bigtrades dom + liquidity sweep This Pine Script is a sophisticated **Order Flow and Liquidity analysis tool** designed for TradingView. It combines volume analysis, multi-exchange data, and price action to identify where institutional "whales" are entering the market.
Below is a detailed guide on how to interpret and use the **BigTrades DOM** indicator.
---
## 1. Core Concept: Big Trades Detection
Instead of looking at raw volume, this indicator uses **Z-Scores** (Standard Deviations). It compares current volume to the average of the last 30 bars (customizable).
* **Tier 1 (Small Circles):** Significant volume, slightly above average.
* **Tier 2 (Medium Circles):** High volume ( by default). These often act as local support/resistance.
* **Tier 3 (Large Circles):** Extreme volume. These represent institutional "Big Trades" that usually lead to trend reversals or major continuations.
---
## 2. Initiative (INIT) vs. Absorbed (ABS)
This is a powerful feature located in the **Confirmation** settings. It looks at what happens *after* a Tier 3 big trade occurs:
* **Initiative (Purple Circle `●`):** High volume occurs, and price **moves strongly** in that direction within bars. This confirms aggressive "Initiative" buying or selling.
* **Absorbed (Yellow Cross `✕`):** High volume occurs, but price **fails to move**. This indicates "Absorption"—where a large limit order (passive seller) is soaking up all the aggressive market buys, often leading to a reversal.
---
## 3. Liquidity Sweep Detection
The script tracks "Pivots" (old highs and lows) and watches for **Stop Runs**.
* **Bullish Sweep (LTL-SWEEP):** Price dips below a previous Low (Liquidity) but immediately closes back above it, usually accompanied by a Big Trade. This is a classic "Stop Hunt" before a move up.
* **Bearish Sweep (LTH-SWEEP):** Price spikes above a previous High but closes below it. This indicates "trapped longs" and potential downside.
* **Visuals:** The script draws a **Dotted Box** and a **Horizontal Line** to mark the swept liquidity zone.
---
## 4. The Mini DOM & Volume Profile
On the right side of your chart, you will see a real-time table:
* **Profile:** A visual histogram of volume distributed at specific price levels.
* **Bid/Ask:** Shows the estimated volume of sellers (Bid) and buyers (Ask) at those specific levels.
* **Delta (Δ):** The net difference. Green means more aggressive buyers; Red means more aggressive sellers.
* **Current Price:** Highlighted in Green to help you see where the "Value" is currently sitting.
---
## 5. Multi-Exchange Aggregation (Crypto Only)
If you are trading a crypto pair (e.g., BTCUSD), the script can fetch volume data from **Binance, Bybit, OKX, Coinbase, and Kraken** simultaneously.
> **Why it matters:** It gives you a "Global" view of volume. If you see a Big Trade on your chart, but the Multi-Exchange data shows high volume across all 5 exchanges, the signal is much more reliable.
---
## 6. How to Trade with this Indicator
### **Strategy A: The Liquidity Reversal**
1. Look for a **Liquidity Sweep** (LTL-SWEEP).
2. Wait for a **Big Trade (Tier 2 or 3)** to appear at the bottom of the sweep.
3. **Entry:** Long when the bar closes back above the sweep level.
4. **Target:** The opposite Liquidity High.
### **Strategy B: Following Initiative**
1. Wait for an **INIT (Purple Circle)** signal.
2. This confirms that the "Big Trade" has successfully pushed the market.
3. **Entry:** Enter in the direction of the INIT signal on the next pullback.
### **Strategy C: Fading Absorption**
1. Price reaches a resistance level.
2. An **ABS (Yellow Cross)** appears.
3. This means buyers are exhausted and being "absorbed" by a large seller.
4. **Entry:** Short on the break of the Absorption candle's low.
---
## 7. Recommended Settings
* **Sensitivity (Sigma):** Set to `2.5` for volatile markets (Crypto) or `2.0` for slower markets (Forex/Stocks).
* **Normalize by ATR:** Keep this **ON**. it ensures that "Big Trades" are calculated relative to current market volatility.
* **Require Big Trade (Sweep):** Keep this **ON** to filter out "fake" sweeps that don't have institutional backing.
Wave Dynamics - Neural Adaptive Engine🌊 WAVE DYNAMICS - NEURAL ADAPTIVE ENGINE
The Official Reference Manual & Trading Protocol
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📖 PREFACE: THE END OF STATIC ANALYSIS
The financial markets are not linear; they are fractal. They do not move in straight lines; they breathe. They expand in trending volatility and contract in chopping noise.
The fundamental failure of traditional technical analysis is Static Sensitivity .
• A 14-period RSI works beautifully in a range but fails in a trend.
• A 12,26 MACD captures trends but destroys capital in chop.
Wave Dynamics solves this by treating the market as a living organism. At its core is a Neural Adaptive Engine that calculates the Hurst Exponent (Fractal Dimension) in real-time. It measures the "roughness" of price action and automatically adjusts the lookback periods of every subsystem—Waves, Ribbons, and Oscillators—to match the current market regime.
This manual is your guide to navigating this adaptive framework.
PART 1: THEOLOGY & MARKET PHYSICS
To use this tool, you must understand the three pillars of its logic:
1. The Hurst Exponent (Chaos Theory)
The engine continuously calculates H (Hurst) on a rolling window.
• Persistent Regime (H > 0.5): "What is happening now is likely to continue." The market is trending. The Engine Tightens sensitivity to catch fast pullbacks.
• Anti-Persistent Regime (H < 0.5): "What is happening now is likely to reverse." The market is chopping/ranging. The Engine Widens sensitivity to filter out noise and stop runs.
2. The Elliott Wave Cycle (Crowd Psychology)
Price moves in 5-wave motive sequences followed by corrections.
• Waves 1 & 3: Institutional Accumulation/Mark-up.
• Waves 2 & 4: Profit Taking (The Pullback). These are the only safe entry points.
• Wave 5: Retail FOMO (The Trap). Identified by Momentum Divergence .
3. Smart Money Concepts (Liquidity)
Price moves from liquidity to liquidity.
• Order Blocks: Where institutions initiated the move.
• Breakers: Where institutions trapped traders (Support flips to Resistance).
• Fair Value Gaps: Where price moved too fast, leaving inefficiency.
PART 2: VISUAL INTELLIGENCE (COLOR THEORY)
The chart communicates instantly through a strict color-coded language.
🎨 THE RIBBON (Adaptive Equilibrium)
The background "Cloud" is an Adaptive EMA ribbon.
• Neon Green (#00FF88): Bullish Trend. Only look for Longs. Price is above the equilibrium mean.
• Neon Red (#FF3366): Bearish Trend. Only look for Shorts. Price is below the equilibrium mean.
• Grey/Narrow: Compression. The market is deciding. Do not trade inside a grey ribbon.
🎨 INSTITUTIONAL ZONES
• Green/Red Boxes (Order Blocks): Standard Support/Resistance. Valid entry zones, but lower probability.
• Vivid Purple Boxes (#9C27B0) - THE BREAKER: CRITICAL. This appears when a Green Order Block is smashed through by price. It turns Purple to signify it has flipped from Support to Resistance (or vice versa). A retest of a Purple Zone is the highest probability setup in the system.
• Dotted Outlines (FVG): Magnets. Do not place stops inside these; price will likely travel through them.
🎨 WAVE ANATOMY
• Cyan Lines: Valid Impulse Waves (1, 3, 5).
• Orange Lines/Dots: EXHAUSTION. If a wave line turns Orange, Angular Momentum is decaying. The trend is dying.
• Diamonds (◆): DIVERGENCE. Price made a Higher High, but the internal oscillator (MPI) made a Lower Low. Immediate reversal warning.
🎨 SIGNALS
• Triangles: Confirmed Entries. (Green = Long, Red = Short).
• Labels (e.g., A+): The Grade of the trade based on Confluence.
• A+: Perfect Confluence (Trend + Structure + Zone + Momentum).
• C: Counter-trend or Weak.
PART 3: THE DASHBOARD ECOSYSTEM
Three panels provide Total Situational Awareness. You must read them in order: Top Right → Bottom Left → Bottom Right.
1. MISSION CONTROL (Top Right)
This panel tells you the "Weather Report."
• Neural Status:
• 🧠 TREND: Safe to trade breakout and trend-following strategies.
• 🧠 CHOP: Danger. Use mean-reversion or stay out.
• 🧠 RND (Random): No clear edge.
• Phase: Displays the Bias (Bull/Bear) and Strength. "WEAK BEARISH" usually signals a bottom is forming.
• Score Bar: A live visual meter of the Confluence Score (0-100%).
2. THE ASSISTANT (Bottom Left)
This panel acts as your co-pilot, translating data into English.
• Situation:
• "💎 BULL GEM": You are in a range, at the bottom, showing exhaustion. Buy immediately.
• "🔥 COMPRESSION": Volatility squeeze. A violent move is imminent.
• Action: Tells you exactly what to do (e.g., "Wait for confluence," "Trail Stop," "Let it develop").
• Pro Metrics (Simulated):
• Win Rate: The percentage of signals on the current visible chart that hit Target 1.
• Profit Factor: Gross Win / Gross Loss. If this is < 1.0, stop trading this asset immediately.
• Buckets: Shows the win rate of A-Grade signals vs. C-Grade signals.
3. WAVE INTELLIGENCE (Bottom Right)
This panel provides structural context.
• Channel Gauge (0-100%):
• 0-20%: Oversold / Channel Bottom.
• 80-100%: Overbought / Channel Top.
• 50%: Equilibrium.
• W3/W1 Ratio: The "Health Check" of the trend.
• < 1.0: Weak. Wave 3 is shorter than Wave 1. The trend is struggling.
• > 1.618: Extended. The move is parabolic. Expect a snap-back.
• Trend Health (0-100): Composite score of sub-wave physics. If Health < 30, the trend is effectively dead.
PART 4: PARAMETER OPTIMIZATION (THE INPUTS)
Every input allows you to tune the engine. Here is the deep dive:
🧠 NEURAL ADAPTIVE ENGINE
• Enable Neural Adaptive Engine: Master switch for the Hurst calculation.
• Hurst Period (100):
• Adjustment: Increase to 200 for Crypto/Alts (too much noise). Decrease to 50 for
Forex/Indices (need speed).
• How to tell: If the dashboard says "TREND" but the chart is sideways, INCREASE this value.
• Min/Max Lookback: Defines the constraints. Only adjust if you are an advanced user creating a custom scalping setup (e.g., Min 3 / Max 10).
🌊 WAVE & STRUCTURE
• Base Swing Detection (8): The "Anchor."
• Scalpers (1m-5m): Set to 5-8.
• Swing Traders (1H-4H): Set to 15-20.
• Min Wave Size (ATR): Prevents the script from labeling tiny wicks as waves. Increase this during high-volatility news events.
🔗 MTF STRUCTURE MAPPING
• Require Macro Align: Strict Mode. If enabled, the script checks the Higher Timeframe (e.g., 4H). If 4H is Bearish, it BLOCKS all Long signals on the 5m chart. Use this to prevent counter-trend losses.
🏦 SMART MONEY CONCEPTS
• Enable Breakers: ALWAYS ON. This turns failed Order Blocks into Breaker Zones (Purple).
• Institutional Mode: ULTRA STRICT. If enabled, signals will ONLY fire if price is physically touching an Order Block, FVG, or Breaker. This creates very few, very high-quality signals.
🎯 SIGNAL ENGINE
• Signal Mode:
• Strict: Grades A+ and A only.
• Balanced: Grades B and above.
• Aggressive: Includes counter-trend scalps (Grade C).
• Min Confluence Score (5-35): The raw points needed to trigger. 5 is standard. 10 is conservative.
PART 5: TRADE EXECUTION PLAYBOOKS
PLAYBOOK A: THE "BREAKER RETEST" (Highest Probability)
1. Context: Ribbon is Green.
2. Event: Price creates a Red Order Block, then smashes upward through it.
3. Change: The Red Block turns Purple (Bullish Breaker).
4. Trigger: Price pulls back down to touch the top of the Purple Box.
5. Signal: Green Triangle appears.
6. Action: Max Size Entry. Stop Loss below the Purple Box. Target Wave 3 Projection.
PLAYBOOK B: THE "WAVE 4 DIP" (Trend Following)
1. Context: Wave count shows "3". Ribbon is Green.
2. Event: Price pulls back towards the Ribbon.
3. Wave Panel: Wave count flips to "4".
4. Trigger: Price touches Ribbon, prints Green Triangle.
5. Action: Standard Size Entry. Stop Loss at Swing Low. Target New High (Wave 5).
PLAYBOOK C: THE "HIDDEN GEM" (Range Reversal)
1. Context: Ribbon is Grey (Consolidation). Neural Status is CHOP.
2. Wave Panel: Channel Gauge is < 10% (Extreme Bottom).
3. Visuals: Orange Exhaustion Dot + Divergence Diamond (◆).
4. Assistant: Reads "💎 BULL GEM".
5. Action: Half Size Entry. This is a counter-trend trade. Target the middle of the range (50% Channel).
PLAYBOOK D: THE "BULL TRAP" (When to Fold)
1. Context: Wave Count is "5".
2. Wave Panel: Trend Health < 30. W3/W1 Ratio > 1.618 (Extended).
3. Visuals: Orange Line appears on price high.
4. Signal: Green Triangle appears (Grade C).
5. Action: NO TRADE. The system is warning you that even though a signal fired, the structural physics indicate exhaustion.
PART 6: GRADING & SCORING MATRIX
Every signal is graded on a 35-point scale. Know what you are buying.
• Trend Alignment (5 pts): Ribbon & HTF agreement.
• Structure (5 pts): BOS (Break of Structure) & Higher Highs.
• Physics (5 pts): MPI (Volume Flow) & Angular Velocity.
• Institutional Location (10 pts):
• Inside Order Block: +3 pts
• Inside Breaker: +4 pts
• Wave 2/4 Pullback: +3 pts
• Penalty: Wave 5 Extension (-3 pts).
Grade Scale:
• A+ (Score ≥ 70%): "All In" Setup.
• A (Score 55-69%): Strong Setup.
• B (Score 40-54%): Standard Setup.
• C (Score < 40%): Dangerous.
PART 7: RISK DISCLOSURE & LIMITATIONS
1. The Reality of Adaptation (Redrawing):
The Neural Engine is dynamic. As new data arrives, the calculation of "Chaos" changes. This means historical channel lines or wave labels may shift to fit the matured trend. HOWEVER: Entry Signals (Triangles) NEVER repaint once the bar is closed.
2. Simulation vs. Reality:
The Dashboard metrics (Win Rate, Profit Factor) are Simulations run on the historical data visible on your chart. They do not account for spread, slippage, or liquidity. They are a tool to gauge the current market personality, not a promise of future returns.
3. No Financial Advice:
Wave Dynamics is a tool for structural analysis. It helps you see the market, but it cannot trade for you. You are responsible for your own risk management.
CLOSING THOUGHTS
Wave Dynamics is not just an indicator; it is a lens. It allows you to see the market not as a random walk of candles, but as a structured, breathing entity.
Trust the Neural Status. Respect the Breakers. Fear the Exhaustion.
Taking you to school. — Dskyz, Trade with insight. Trade with anticipation.

📊 Core Components Explained
1. Order Block System
What Are Order Blocks?
Order blocks are price zones where institutional activity has occurred, creating future support or resistance levels. SDMS automatically detects these critical zones.
Detection Logic:
Bullish Order Blocks: Form when price breaks above recent highs following bearish candles
Bearish Order Blocks: Form when price breaks below recent lows following bullish candles
Visual Identification:
Green boxes with "BuOB" labels (support zones)
Red boxes with "BeOB" labels (resistance zones)
Each block shows its boundary price for easy reference
Dynamic Management:
Automatically extends 300 bars into the future
Self-cleaning: removes blocks when price breaches their boundaries
Real-time adjustment to changing market structure
2. Statistical Support/Resistance System
How It Works:
SDMS creates support and resistance lines based on statistical extremes confirmed on the 1-hour timeframe.
Trigger Conditions:
Support Lines (Green): Trigger when 1H Bollinger Band % crosses above 0 and bearish momentum subsides.
Resistance Lines (Red): Trigger when 1H Bollinger Band % crosses below 1 and bullish momentum subsides
The Science Behind BB%:
BB% = (Price - Lower Band) / (Upper Band - Lower Band)
BB% <= 0: Price at statistical oversold extreme; also indicated by white candles.
BB% > 1: Price at statistical overbought extreme; also indicated by white candles.
Line Management:
Maximum of 15 active lines
Oldest lines automatically removed
Lines extend across chart for ongoing reference
3. Trend Analysis Suite
Hull Moving Average (HMA):
55-period smoothed trend indicator
Color-coded: Green = bullish, Red = bearish
Visual band shows trend acceleration/deceleration
Gaussian Channel:
Advanced filtering of market noise
Dynamic channel based on true range volatility
Helps identify mean reversion opportunities
Form a yellow band when price is overbought or oversold zones.
Linear Regression System:
Statistical price modeling
Multiple standard deviation bands (up to 3SD)
Regression-based candlestick visualization
Candles turn white when in overbought zones. Yellow candles indicate extremely overbought zones. Blue candles indicate a bullish trend with high volume.
Bearish candles are bluish-purple when volume is high and red when the volume is within normal ranges or low.
4. Momentum & Oscillator Integration
RSI with Deviation Tracking:
21-period RSI with 30-period smoothing
Tracks deviation from moving average based off linear regression
Identifies momentum divergences

🔍 How to Use SDMS Effectively
Step 1: Market Structure Assessment
Identify active order blocks (green/red boxes)
Note BB% support/resistance lines (horizontal lines)
Assess HMA and moving average trend direction (color)
Check Gaussian channel position (preferably outside 2SD)
Step 2: Signal Confirmation
Wait for multiple indicator alignment
look for doji candles.
Confirm with green (bullish) or red (bearish) candles
Confirm with volume if available
Check for confluence of levels
Assess risk/reward based on nearby levels
Step 3: Trade Management
Enter at confirmed support/resistance
Place stops beyond opposite levels
Take profits at next statistical level
Monitor for structure changes
Step 4: Risk Management
Use standard deviation bands for volatility assessment
Never risk more than 1-2% per trade
Adjust position size based on confluence strength
Have predefined exit rules
💡 Advanced Strategies
Strategy 1: Confluence Trading
Setup: Order block + BB% line at same level
Entry: Price tests confluence zone with RSI signal
Stop: Beyond the confluence zone
Target: Next statistical level
Strategy 2: Breakout Trading
Setup: Price approaching order block boundary
Entry: Break with volume + RSI/DMI confirmation
Stop: Re-entry into order block
Target: Next BB% line extension
Strategy 3: Mean Reversion
Setup: Price at Gaussian channel extremes
Entry: RSI reversal signal at channel boundary
Stop: Beyond channel extreme
Target: Channel midline or opposite boundary

TradingView — Track All Markets
Where the world charts, chats, and trades markets. We're a supercharged super-charting platform and social network for traders and investors. Free to sign up.
Portfolio TrackerDescription
The Portfolio Tracker is a utility dashboard designed for traders who need to monitor the performance of a multi-asset portfolio directly from a single chart layout. While TradingView provides excellent charting for individual symbols, tracking the combined Profit & Loss (PnL) of a basket of 20 different securities (stocks, crypto, forex, or indices) usually requires switching tabs, using external spreadsheets, or logging into multiple exchange accounts.
This script solves that problem by allowing users to manually input their position details into a customizable table. It fetches real-time price data for each symbol and calculates the individual and total portfolio performance, including commission costs.
Why This Tool is Useful
This indicator was built to address specific pain points for active traders:
Consolidated View: Instead of checking 20 different charts to see how your positions are doing, you get a single, real-time snapshot of your entire portfolio's health on one screen.
Risk Management: By seeing the "Total PnL" and "Total Investment" in one place, traders can better understand their overall market exposure, rather than focusing on single winning or losing trades.
Flexible Accounting: The ability to switch between "Unit Price" and "Total Cost" inputs accommodates different trading styles—whether you are a scalper entering a single price or an investor averaging down with a specific total capital allocation.
CRITICAL: Input Logic & Warnings
To ensure accurate PnL calculations, users must understand the relationship between Quantity and Cost, especially when using "Total Cost (Manual)" mode.
The Golden Rule: Your Input Cost must always match the Total Quantity entered.
Example Scenario:
Imagine you buy 2 BTC at a price of $90,000 each.
Correct Entry: You must enter Quantity: 2 and Cost: 180000 ($90k x 2).
Result: If BTC drops to $85k, your Portfolio Value is $170k. The script correctly shows a PnL of -$10,000.
Result: If BTC rises to $95k, your Portfolio Value is $190k. The script correctly shows a PnL of +$10,000.
Incorrect Entry: If you enter Quantity: 2 but leave Cost at 90000 (the unit price).
Result: The script thinks you bought 2 BTC for a total of only $90k. It will instantly show a massive, incorrect profit because the math implies you bought 2 coins for the price of 1.
Please double-check your inputs. The script includes a "Sanity Check" feature to help catch these errors, but accurate data entry is the user's responsibility.
Key Features & Benefits
Multi-Asset Tracking (20 Slots): Monitor up to 20 different tickers simultaneously.
Real-Time Valuation: Uses request.security() to fetch the current market price for every symbol in the list. Your PnL updates with every tick of the market.
Flexible Cost Basis Modes:
Auto-Calc Mode: Enter Entry Price and Quantity. (Best for simple, single-entry trades).
Manual Cost Mode: Enter Total Invested Amount. (Best for averaged-down positions).
Advanced Commission Handling: Supports both Global and Individual commission rates. This provides a realistic "Net PnL" by factoring in fees on both the entry (cost basis) and the theoretical exit (current value).
Input Safety ("Sanity Check"): A logic check that compares the user's input against the current market value. If a user switches to "Total Cost" mode but leaves a small "Unit Price" value in the input field, the script flags the row to prevent irrational PnL percentages (e.g., >100,000%).
Clean & Customizable UI: The table can be positioned in 9 different locations, and inputs are hidden from the chart status line to keep the visual workspace clean.
How It Works
The script operates using a systematic loop that processes user inputs through a series of mathematical validations:
Data Acquisition: The script collects all 20 user inputs and utilizes request.security() to fetch the real-time close price for every non-empty symbol in the list.
Cost Basis Calculation:
In Auto-Calc Mode: The script calculates Raw Cost = Quantity * Input Price.
In Manual Mode: The script takes the Input Value directly as the Raw Cost.
"Round-Trip" Commission Modeling:
Entry Cost: Raw Cost * (1 + Commission%) (Fees increase your breakeven).
Exit Value: (Quantity * Current Price) * (1 - Commission%) (Fees reduce your payout).
Net PnL: Exit Value - Entry Cost.
Sanity Check Algorithm: Before displaying data, the script compares the Input Cost against the Gross Market Value (Qty * Price). If the Input Cost is less than a user-defined threshold (default 1%) of the Market Value, it triggers a warning, assuming the user forgot to update the field to a "Total Cost" figure.

Multi-indicator Signal Builder [Skyrexio]Overview
Multi-Indicator Signal Builder is a versatile, all-in-one script designed to streamline your trading workflow by combining multiple popular technical indicators under a single roof.
It features a single-entry, single-exit logic, intrabar stop-loss/take-profit handling, an optional time filter, a visually accessible condition table, and a built-in statistics label.
Traders can choose any combination of 12+ indicators (RSI, Ultimate Oscillator, Bollinger %B, Moving Averages, ADX, Stochastic, MACD, PSAR, MFI, CCI, Heikin Ashi, and a “TV Screener” placeholder) to form entry or exit conditions.
This script aims to simplify strategy creation and analysis , making it a powerful toolkit for technical traders.
Indicators Overview
RSI (Relative Strength Index)
Measures recent price changes to evaluate overbought or oversold conditions on a 0–100 scale.
Ultimate Oscillator (UO)
Uses weighted averages of three different timeframes, aiming to confirm price momentum while avoiding false divergences.
Bollinger %B
Expresses price relative to Bollinger Bands, indicating whether price is near the upper band (overbought) or lower band (oversold).
Moving Average (MA)
Smooths price data over a specified period. The script supports both SMA and EMA to help identify trend direction and potential crossovers.
ADX (Average Directional Index)
Gauges the strength of a trend (0–100). Higher ADX signals stronger momentum, while lower ADX indicates a weaker trend.
Stochastic
Compares a closing price to a price range over a given period to identify momentum shifts and potential reversals.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence)
Tracks the difference between two EMAs plus a signal line, commonly used to spot momentum flips through crossovers.
PSAR (Parabolic SAR)
Plots a trailing stop-and-reverse dot that moves with the trend. Often used to signal potential reversals when price crosses PSAR.
MFI (Money Flow Index)
Similar to RSI but incorporates volume data. A reading above 80 can suggest overbought conditions, while below 20 may indicate oversold.
CCI (Commodity Channel Index)
Identifies cyclical trends or overbought/oversold levels by comparing current price to an average price over a set timeframe.
Heikin Ashi
A type of candlestick charting that filters out market noise. The script uses a streak-based approach (multiple consecutive bullish or bearish bars) to gauge mini-trends.
TV Screener
A placeholder condition designed to integrate external buy/sell logic (like a TradingView “Buy” or “Sell” rating). Users can override or reference external signals if desired.
Unique Features
Multi-Indicator Entry and Exit
You can selectively enable any subset of 12+ classic indicators, each with customizable parameters and conditions. A position opens only if all enabled entry conditions are met, and it closes only when all enabled exit conditions are satisfied, helping reduce false triggers.
Single-Entry / Single-Exit with Intrabar SL/TP
The script supports a single position at a time. Once a position is open, it monitors intrabar to see if the price hits your stop-loss or take-profit levels before the bar closes, making results more realistic for fast-moving markets.
Time Window Filter
Users may specify a start/end date range during which trades are allowed, making it convenient to focus on specific market cycles for backtesting or live trading.
Condition Table and Statistics
A table at the bottom of the chart lists all active entry/exit indicators. Upon each closed trade, an integrated statistics label displays net profit, total trades, win/loss count, average and median PnL, etc.
Seamless Alerts and Automation
• Configure alerts in TradingView using “Any alert() function call.”
• The script sends JSON alert messages you can route to your own webhook.
• The indicator can be integrated with Skyrexio alert bots to automate execution on major cryptocurrency exchanges.
Optional MA/PSAR Plots
For added visual clarity, optionally plot the chosen moving averages or PSAR on the chart to confirm signals without stacking multiple indicators.
Methodology
Multi-Indicator Entry Logic
When multiple entry indicators are enabled (e.g., RSI + Stochastic + MACD), the script requires all signals to align before generating an entry. Each indicator can be set for crossovers, crossunders, thresholds (above/below), etc. This “AND” logic aims to filter out low-confidence triggers.
Single-Entry Intrabar SL/TP
• One Position At a Time: Once an entry signal triggers, a trade opens at the bar’s close.
• Intrabar Checks: Stop-loss and take-profit levels (if enabled) are monitored on every tick. If either is reached, the position closes immediately, without waiting for the bar to end.
Exit Logic
All Conditions Must Agree: If the trade is still open (SL/TP not triggered), then all enabled exit indicators must confirm a closure before the script exits on the bar’s close.
Time Filter
Optional Trading Window: You can activate a date/time range to constrain entries and exits strictly to that interval.
Justification of Methodology
Indicator Confluence: Combining multiple tools (RSI, MACD, etc.) can reduce noise and false signals.
Intrabar SL/TP: Capturing real-time spikes or dips provides a more precise reflection of typical live trading scenarios.
Single-Entry Model: Straightforward for both manual and automated tracking (especially important in bridging to bots).
Custom Date Range: Helps refine backtesting for specific market conditions or to avoid known irregular data periods.

CryptoFlux Dynamo [JOAT]CryptoFlux Dynamo: Velocity Scalping Strategy
WHAT THIS STRATEGY IS
CryptoFlux Dynamo is an open-source Pine Script v6 strategy designed for momentum-based scalping on cryptocurrency perpetual futures. It combines multiple technical analysis methods into a unified system that adapts its behavior based on current market volatility conditions.
This script is published open-source so you can read, understand, and modify the complete logic. The description below explains everything the strategy does so that traders who cannot read Pine Script can fully understand how it works before using it.
HOW THIS STRATEGY IS ORIGINAL AND WHY THE INDICATORS ARE COMBINED
This strategy uses well-known indicators (MACD, EMA, RSI, MFI, Bollinger Bands, Keltner Channels, ATR). The originality is not in the individual indicators themselves, but in the specific way they are integrated into a regime-adaptive system. Here is the detailed justification for why these components are combined and how they work together:
The Problem Being Solved:
Standard indicator-based strategies use fixed thresholds. For example, a typical MACD strategy might enter when the histogram crosses above zero. However, in cryptocurrency markets, volatility changes dramatically throughout the day and week. A MACD crossover during a low-volatility consolidation period has very different implications than the same crossover during a high-volatility trending period. Using the same entry thresholds and stop distances in both conditions leads to either:
Too many false signals during consolidation (if thresholds are loose)
Missing valid opportunities during expansion (if thresholds are tight)
Stops that are too tight during volatility spikes (causing premature exits)
Stops that are too wide during compression (giving back profits)
The Solution Approach:
This strategy first classifies the current volatility regime using normalized ATR (ATR as a percentage of price), then dynamically adjusts ALL other parameters based on that classification. This creates a context-aware system rather than a static threshold comparison.
How Each Component Contributes to the System:
ATR-Based Regime Classification (The Foundation)
The strategy calculates ATR over 21 periods, smooths it with a 13-period EMA to reduce noise from wicks, then divides by price to get a normalized percentage. This ATR% is classified into three regimes:
- Compression (ATR% < 0.8%): Market is consolidating, breakouts are more likely but false signals are common
- Expansion (ATR% 0.8% - 1.6%): Normal trending conditions
- Velocity (ATR% > 1.6%): High volatility, larger moves but also larger adverse excursions
This regime classification then controls stop distances, profit targets, trailing stop offsets, and signal strength requirements. The regime acts as a "meta-parameter" that tunes the entire system.
EMA Ribbon (8/21/34) - Trend Structure Detection
The three EMAs establish trend direction and structure. When EMA 8 > EMA 21 > EMA 34, the trend structure is bullish. The slope of the middle EMA (21) is calculated over 8 bars and converted to degrees using arctangent. This slope measurement quantifies trend strength, not just direction.
Why these specific periods? The 8/21/34 sequence follows Fibonacci-like spacing and provides good separation on 5-minute cryptocurrency charts. The fast EMA (8) responds to immediate price action, the mid EMA (21) represents the short-term trend, and the slow EMA (34) acts as a trend filter.
The EMA ribbon works with the regime classification: during compression regimes, the strategy requires stronger ribbon alignment before entry because false breakouts are more common.
MACD (8/21/5) - Momentum Measurement
The MACD uses faster parameters (8/21/5) than the standard (12/26/9) because cryptocurrency markets move faster than traditional markets. The histogram is smoothed with a 5-period EMA to reduce noise.
The key innovation is the adaptive histogram baseline. Instead of using a fixed threshold, the strategy calculates a rolling baseline from the smoothed absolute histogram value, then multiplies by a sensitivity factor (1.15). This means the threshold for "significant momentum" automatically adjusts based on recent momentum levels.
The MACD works with the regime classification: during velocity regimes, the histogram baseline is effectively higher because recent momentum has been stronger, preventing entries on relatively weak momentum.
RSI (21 period) and MFI (21 period) - Independent Momentum Confirmation
RSI measures momentum using price changes only. MFI (Money Flow Index) measures momentum using price AND volume. By requiring both to confirm, the strategy filters out price moves that lack volume support.
The 21-period length is longer than typical (14) to reduce noise on 5-minute charts. The trigger threshold (55 for longs, 45 for shorts) is slightly offset from 50 to require momentum in the trade direction, not just neutral readings.
These indicators work together: a signal requires RSI > 55 AND MFI > 55 for longs. This dual confirmation reduces false signals from price manipulation or low-volume moves.
Bollinger Bands (1.5 mult) and Keltner Channels (1.8 mult) - Squeeze Detection
When Bollinger Bands contract inside Keltner Channels, volatility is compressing and a breakout is likely. This is the "squeeze" condition. When the bands expand back outside the channels, the squeeze "releases."
The strategy uses a 1.5 multiplier for Bollinger Bands (tighter than standard 2.0) and 1.8 for Keltner Channels. These values were chosen to identify meaningful squeezes on 5-minute cryptocurrency charts without triggering too frequently.
The squeeze detection works with the regime classification: squeeze releases during compression regimes receive additional signal strength points because breakouts from consolidation are more significant.
Volume Impulse Detection - Institutional Participation Filter
The strategy calculates a volume baseline (34-period SMA) and standard deviation. A "volume impulse" is detected when current volume exceeds the baseline by 1.15x OR when the volume z-score exceeds 0.5.
This filter ensures entries occur when there is meaningful market participation, not during low-volume periods where price moves are less reliable.
Volume impulse is required for all entries and adds points to the composite signal strength score.
Cycle Oscillator - Trend Alignment Filter
The strategy calculates a 55-period EMA as a cycle basis, then measures price deviation from this basis as a percentage. When price is more than 0.15% above the cycle basis, the cycle is bullish. When more than 0.15% below, the cycle is bearish.
This filter prevents counter-trend entries. Long signals require bullish cycle alignment; short signals require bearish cycle alignment.
BTC Dominance Filter (Optional) - Market Regime Filter
The strategy can optionally use BTC.D (Bitcoin Dominance) as a market regime filter. When BTC dominance is rising (slope > 0.12), the market is in "risk-off" mode and long entries on altcoins are filtered. When dominance is falling (slope < -0.12), short entries are filtered.
This filter is optional because the BTC.D data feed may lag during low-liquidity periods.
How The Components Work Together (The Mashup Justification):
The strategy uses a composite scoring system where each signal pathway contributes points:
Trend Break pathway (30 points): Requires EMA ribbon alignment + positive slope + price breaks above recent structure high
Momentum Surge pathway (30 points): Requires MACD histogram > adaptive baseline + MACD line > signal + RSI > 55 + MFI > 55 + volume impulse
Squeeze Release pathway (25 points): Requires BB inside KC (squeeze) then release + momentum bias + histogram confirmation
Micro Pullback pathway (15 points): Requires shallow retracement to fast EMA within established trend + histogram confirmation + volume impulse
Additional modifiers:
+5 points if volume impulse is present, -5 if absent
+5 points in velocity regime, -2 in compression regime
+5 points if cycle is aligned, -5 if counter-trend
A trade only executes when the composite score reaches the minimum threshold (default 55) AND all filters agree (session, cycle bias, BTC dominance if enabled).
This scoring system is the core innovation: instead of requiring ALL conditions to be true (which would generate very few signals) or ANY condition to be true (which would generate too many false signals), the strategy requires ENOUGH conditions to be true, with different conditions contributing different weights based on their reliability.
HOW THE STRATEGY CALCULATES ENTRIES AND EXITS
Entry Logic:
1. Calculate current volatility regime from ATR%
2. Calculate all indicator values (MACD, EMA, RSI, MFI, squeeze, volume)
3. Evaluate each signal pathway and sum points
4. Check all filters (session, cycle, dominance, kill switch)
5. If composite score >= 55 AND all filters pass, generate entry signal
6. Calculate position size based on risk per trade and regime-adjusted stop distance
7. Execute entry with regime name as comment
Position Sizing Formula:
RiskCapital = Equity * (0.65 / 100)
StopDistance = ATR * StopMultiplier(regime)
RawQuantity = RiskCapital / StopDistance
MaxQuantity = Equity * (12 / 100) / Price
Quantity = min(RawQuantity, MaxQuantity)
Quantity = round(Quantity / 0.001) * 0.001
This ensures each trade risks approximately 0.65% of equity regardless of volatility, while capping total exposure at 12% of equity.
Stop Loss Calculation:
Stop distance is ATR multiplied by a regime-specific multiplier:
Compression regime: 1.05x ATR (tighter stops because moves are smaller)
Expansion regime: 1.55x ATR (standard stops)
Velocity regime: 2.1x ATR (wider stops to avoid premature exits during volatility)
Take Profit Calculation:
Target distance is ATR multiplied by regime-specific multiplier and base risk/reward:
Compression regime: 1.6x ATR * 1.8 base R:R * 0.9 regime bonus = approximately 2.6x ATR
Expansion regime: 2.05x ATR * 1.8 base R:R * 1.0 regime bonus = approximately 3.7x ATR
Velocity regime: 2.8x ATR * 1.8 base R:R * 1.15 regime bonus = approximately 5.8x ATR
Trailing Stop Logic:
When adaptive trailing is enabled, the strategy calculates a trailing offset based on ATR and regime:
Compression regime: 1.1x base offset (looser trailing to avoid noise)
Expansion regime: 1.0x base offset (standard)
Velocity regime: 0.8x base offset (tighter trailing to lock in profits during fast moves)
The trailing stop only activates when it would be tighter than the initial stop.
Momentum Fail-Safe Exits:
The strategy closes positions early if momentum reverses:
Long positions close if MACD histogram turns negative OR EMA ribbon structure breaks (fast EMA crosses below mid EMA)
Short positions close if MACD histogram turns positive OR EMA ribbon structure breaks
This prevents holding through momentum reversals even if stop loss hasn't been hit.
Kill Switch:
If maximum drawdown exceeds 6.5%, the strategy disables new entries until manually reset. This prevents continued trading during adverse conditions.
HOW TO USE THIS STRATEGY
Step 1: Apply to Chart
Use a 5-minute chart of a high-liquidity cryptocurrency perpetual (BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT recommended)
Ensure at least 200 bars of history are loaded for indicator stabilization
Use standard candlestick charts only (not Heikin Ashi, Renko, or other non-standard types)
Step 2: Understand the Visual Elements
EMA Ribbon: Three lines (8/21/34 periods) showing trend structure. Bullish when stacked upward, bearish when stacked downward.
Background Color: Shows current volatility regime
- Indigo/dark blue = Compression (low volatility)
- Purple = Expansion (normal volatility)
- Magenta/pink = Velocity (high volatility)
Bar Colors: Reflect signal strength divergence. Brighter colors indicate stronger directional bias.
Triangle Markers: Entry signals. Up triangles below bars = long entry. Down triangles above bars = short entry.
Dashboard (top-right): Real-time display of regime, ATR%, signal strengths, position status, stops, targets, and risk metrics.
Step 3: Interpret the Dashboard
Regime: Current volatility classification (Compression/Expansion/Velocity)
ATR%: Normalized volatility as percentage of price
Long/Short Strength: Current composite signal scores (0-100)
Cycle Osc: Price deviation from 55-period EMA as percentage
Dominance: BTC.D slope and filter status
Position: Current position direction or "Flat"
Stop/Target: Current stop loss and take profit levels
Kill Switch: Status of drawdown protection
Volume Z: Current volume z-score
Impulse: Whether volume impulse condition is met
Step 4: Adjust Parameters for Your Needs
For more conservative trading: Increase "Minimum Composite Signal Strength" to 65 or higher
For more aggressive trading: Decrease to 50 (but expect more false signals)
For higher timeframes (15m+): Increase "Structure Break Window" to 12-15, increase "RSI Momentum Trigger" to 58
For lower liquidity pairs: Increase "Volume Impulse Multiplier" to 1.3, increase slippage in strategy properties
To disable short selling: Uncheck "Enable Short Structure"
To disable BTC dominance filter: Uncheck "BTC Dominance Confirmation"
STRATEGY PROPERTIES (BACKTEST SETTINGS)
These are the exact settings used in the strategy's Properties dialog box. You must use these same settings when evaluating the backtest results shown in the publication:
Initial Capital: $100,000
Justification: This amount is higher than typical retail accounts. I chose this value to demonstrate percentage-based returns that scale proportionally. The strategy uses percentage-based position sizing (0.65% risk per trade), so a $10,000 account would see the same percentage returns with 10x smaller position sizes. The absolute dollar amounts in the backtest should be interpreted as percentages of capital.
Commission: 0.04% (commission_value = 0.04)
Justification: This reflects typical perpetual futures exchange fees. Major exchanges charge between 0.02% (maker) and 0.075% (taker). The 0.04% value is a reasonable middle estimate. If your exchange charges different fees, adjust this value accordingly. Higher fees will reduce net profitability.
Slippage: 1 tick
Justification: This is conservative for liquid pairs like BTC/USDT on major exchanges during normal conditions. For less liquid altcoins or during high volatility, actual slippage may be higher. If you trade less liquid pairs, increase this value to 2-3 ticks for more realistic results.
Pyramiding: 1
Justification: No position stacking. The strategy holds only one position at a time. This simplifies risk management and prevents overexposure.
calc_on_every_tick: true
Justification: The strategy evaluates on every price update, not just bar close. This is necessary for scalping timeframes where waiting for bar close would miss opportunities. Note that this setting means backtest results may differ slightly from bar-close-only evaluation.
calc_on_order_fills: true
Justification: The strategy recalculates immediately after order fills for faster response to position changes.
RISK PER TRADE JUSTIFICATION
The default risk per trade is 0.65% of equity. This is well within the TradingView guideline that "risking more than 5-10% on a trade is not typically considered viable."
With the 12% maximum exposure cap, even if the strategy takes multiple consecutive losses, the total risk remains manageable. The kill switch at 6.5% drawdown provides additional protection by halting new entries during adverse conditions.
The position sizing formula ensures that stop distance (which varies by regime) is accounted for, so actual risk per trade remains approximately 0.65% regardless of volatility conditions.
SAMPLE SIZE CONSIDERATIONS
For statistically meaningful backtest results, you should select a dataset that generates at least 100 trades. On 5-minute BTC/USDT charts, this typically requires:
2-3 months of data during normal market conditions
1-2 months during high-volatility periods
3-4 months during low-volatility consolidation periods
The strategy's selectivity (requiring 55+ composite score plus all filters) means it generates fewer signals than less filtered approaches. If your backtest shows fewer than 100 trades, extend the date range or reduce the minimum signal strength threshold.
Fewer than 100 trades produces statistically unreliable results. Win rate, profit factor, and other metrics can vary significantly with small sample sizes.
STRATEGY DESIGN COMPROMISES AND LIMITATIONS
Every strategy involves trade-offs. Here are the compromises made in this design and the limitations you should understand:
Selectivity vs. Opportunity Trade-off
The 55-point minimum threshold filters many potential trades. This reduces false signals but also misses valid setups that don't meet all criteria. Lowering the threshold increases trade frequency but decreases win rate. There is no "correct" threshold; it depends on your preference for fewer higher-quality signals vs. more signals with lower individual quality.
Regime Classification Lag
The ATR-based regime detection uses historical data (21 periods + 13-period smoothing). It cannot predict sudden volatility spikes. During flash crashes or black swan events, the strategy may be classified in the wrong regime for several bars before the classification updates. This is an inherent limitation of any lagging indicator.
Indicator Parameter Sensitivity
The default parameters (MACD 8/21/5, EMA 8/21/34, RSI 21, etc.) are tuned for BTC/ETH perpetuals on 5-minute charts during 2024 market conditions. Different assets, timeframes, or market regimes may require different parameters. There is no guarantee that parameters optimized on historical data will perform similarly in the future.
BTC Dominance Filter Limitations
The CRYPTOCAP:BTC.D data feed may lag during low-liquidity periods or weekends. The dominance slope calculation uses a 5-bar SMA, adding additional delay. If you notice the filter behaving unexpectedly, consider disabling it.
Backtest vs. Live Execution Differences
TradingView backtesting does not replicate actual broker execution. Key differences:
Backtests assume perfect fills at calculated prices; real execution involves order book depth, latency, and partial fills
The calc_on_every_tick setting improves backtest realism but still cannot capture sub-bar price action or order book dynamics
Commission and slippage settings are estimates; actual costs vary by exchange, time of day, and market conditions
Funding rates on perpetual futures are not modeled in backtests and can significantly impact profitability over time
Exchange-specific limitations (position limits, liquidation mechanics, order types) are not modeled
Market Condition Dependencies
This strategy is designed for trending and breakout conditions. During extended sideways consolidation with no clear direction, the strategy may generate few signals or experience whipsaws. No strategy performs well in all market conditions.
Cryptocurrency-Specific Risks
Cryptocurrency markets operate 24/7 without session boundaries. This means:
No natural "overnight" risk reduction
Volatility can spike at any time
Liquidity varies significantly by time of day
Exchange outages or issues can occur at any time
WHAT THIS STRATEGY DOES NOT DO
To be straightforward about limitations:
This strategy does not guarantee profits. Past backtest performance does not indicate future results.
This strategy does not predict the future. It reacts to current conditions based on historical patterns.
This strategy does not account for funding rates, which can significantly impact perpetual futures profitability.
This strategy does not model exchange-specific execution issues (partial fills, requotes, outages).
This strategy does not adapt to fundamental news events or black swan scenarios.
This strategy is not optimized for all market conditions. It may underperform during extended consolidation.
IMPORTANT RISK WARNINGS
Past performance does not guarantee future results. The backtest results shown reflect specific historical market conditions and parameter settings. Markets change constantly, and strategies that performed well historically may underperform or lose money in the future. A single backtest run does not constitute proof of future profitability.
Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Cryptocurrency derivatives are highly volatile instruments. You can lose your entire investment. Only trade with capital you can afford to lose completely.
This is not financial advice. This strategy is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute investment advice, trading recommendations, or any form of financial guidance. The author is not a licensed financial advisor.
You are responsible for your own decisions. Before using this strategy with real capital:
Thoroughly understand the code and logic by reading the open-source implementation
Forward test with paper trading or very small positions for an extended period
Verify that commission, slippage, and execution assumptions match your actual trading environment
Understand that live results will differ from backtest results
Consider consulting with a qualified financial advisor

OPEN-SOURCE CODE STRUCTURE
The strategy code is organized into these sections for readability:
Configuration Architecture: Input parameters organized into logical groups (Core Controls, Optimization Constants, Regime Intelligence, Signal Pathways, Risk Architecture, Visualization)
Helper Functions: calcQty() for position sizing, clamp01() and normalize() for value normalization, calcMFI() for Money Flow Index calculation
Core Indicator Engine: EMA ribbon, ATR and regime classification, MACD with adaptive baseline, RSI, MFI, volume analytics, cycle oscillator, BTC dominance filter, squeeze detection
Signal Pathway Logic: Trend break, momentum surge, squeeze release, micro pullback pathways with composite scoring
Entry/Exit Orchestration: Signal filtering, position sizing, entry execution, stop/target calculation, trailing stop logic, momentum fail-safe exits
Visualization Layer: EMA plots, regime background, bar coloring, signal labels, dashboard table
You can read and modify any part of the code. Understanding the logic before deployment is strongly recommended.

## 💡 How to Trade
### Setup 1: Divergence at Zone ⭐ (BEST - 75%+ win rate)
**Entry:**
- Price hits demand/supply zone
- Divergence appears (early or confirmed)
- Double confluence = high probability
**Example (Long):**
```
1. Price drops into green demand zone
2. ⚠️ Early bullish divergence fires
3. Enter long with tight stop below zone
4. Target: POC or next supply zone
```
**Risk/Reward:** 1:3 to 1:5
---
### Setup 2: POC Bounce/Rejection
**Entry:**
- Price approaches POC line
- Wait for reaction (bounce or rejection)
- Enter in direction of reaction
**Long Setup:**
```
1. Price pulls back to POC from above
2. POC acts as support
3. Bullish divergence appears (confirmation)
4. Enter long, stop below POC
```
**Short Setup:**
```
1. Price rallies to POC from below
2. POC acts as resistance
3. Bearish divergence appears
4. Enter short, stop above POC
```
**Risk/Reward:** 1:2 to 1:4
---
### Setup 3: Zone + Profile Confluence
**Entry:**
- Supply/demand zone aligns with thick profile bar
- Shows high CVD activity at that level
- Triple confluence = very high probability
**Example:**
```
1. Supply zone at 26,100
2. Profile shows heavy selling at 26,100
3. Price rallies to 26,100
4. Bearish divergence appears
5. Enter short
```
**Risk/Reward:** 1:4 to 1:6
---
### Setup 4: Early Warning Scalp ⚡
**Entry (Aggressive):**
- ⚠️ Early warning fires
- Price at zone or POC
- Enter immediately
- Tight stop (1-2 ATR)
**Management:**
```
- Take 50% profit at 1:1
- Move stop to breakeven
- 🔻 Confirmed signal → Trail stop
- Exit rest at target
```
**Risk/Reward:** 1:1.5 to 1:2
**Trades/day:** 3-8
---
### Setup 5: Multi-Timeframe (Advanced)
**Confirmation Required:**
```
Higher TF (1H):
- Confirmed divergence
- At major POC or zone
Lower TF (15m):
- Early warning triggers
- Entry with better timing
```
**Benefits:**
- HTF gives direction
- LTF gives entry
- Best of both worlds
**Risk/Reward:** 1:3 to 1:5

## 🔧 Tuning Guide
### Too Cluttered?
**Simplify:**
```
✅ Show Divergences: ON
✅ Show POC: ON
❌ Show Zones: OFF (or reduce to 4-5)
❌ Show Value Area: OFF
❌ Divergence Labels: OFF
→ Clean chart with just lines + POC
```
### Missing Opportunities?
**More Signals:**
```
↓ Pivot Right: 6-7
↓ Early Warning Right: 2
↓ Min Bars Between: 25-30
↓ Min CVD Diff: 2-3%
↓ Min Absorption Ratio: 1.8
```
### Too Many False Signals?
**Stricter Filters:**
```
↑ Pivot Right: 12-15
↑ Min Bars Between: 60
↑ Min CVD Diff: 8-10%
↑ Min Absorption Ratio: 2.5
↓ Max Zones: 4-5
```
### POC Not Making Sense?
**Adjust POC Lookback:**
```
If too high: Increase to 400-500
If too low: Increase to 400-500
If jumping around: Increase to 500+
→ Longer lookback = more stable POC
```

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

## Visual Components
### Main Panel (Bottom)
| Element | What It Looks Like | Meaning |
|---------|-------------------|---------|
| **Colored Bars** | Green/Red histogram | Momentum strength and direction |
| **Filled Area** | Yellow/Lime/Red gradient area | Price extension from moving averages |
| **Cross at Zero** | Black/Gray/Blue cross | Squeeze state (volatility) |
| **Dashed Lines** | Horizontal red/green lines | Extension thresholds (±2σ scaled) |
---
### 1. Momentum Histogram (Colored Bars)
| Color | Direction | Meaning |
|-------|-----------|---------|
| **Bright Green** (Lime) | Up ↑ | Strong bullish momentum (increasing) |
| **Dark Green** | Up ↑ | Weak bullish momentum (decreasing) |
| **Bright Red** | Down ↓ | Strong bearish momentum (increasing) |
| **Dark Red** (Maroon) | Down ↓ | Weak bearish momentum (decreasing) |
**Key insight:** When bars change from bright to dark, momentum is fading.
---
### 2. Extension Area (Filled Gradient)
Shows how extended price is from its moving averages across 5 timeframes (5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, Daily).
| Color | Position | Meaning |
|-------|----------|---------|
| **Red** | High above zero | Severely overbought (>2σ scaled) |
| **Orange/Yellow** | Above zero | Moderately overbought |
| **Lime/Green** | Below zero | Moderately oversold |
| **Teal** | Deep below zero | Severely oversold (<-2σ scaled) |
**The area is scaled 3x** for better visibility. Actual values shown in table.
**Reading it:**
- **Area touching upper dashed line** = Price very far above averages (exhaustion territory)
- **Area touching lower dashed line** = Price very far below averages (exhaustion territory)
- **Area near zero** = Price near its averages (normal/neutral)
---
### 3. Squeeze Indicator (Cross at Zero Line)
| Color | Status | Meaning |
|-------|--------|---------|
| **Black** ⚫ | Squeeze ON | Bollinger Bands inside Keltner Channels → Low volatility, consolidation |
| **Gray** ⚪ | Squeeze OFF | Bollinger Bands outside Keltner Channels → Volatility expanding, breakout |
| **Blue** 🔵 | No Squeeze | Normal volatility conditions |
**Critical:** The transition from Black → Gray is where explosive moves begin.
---
### 4. Entry/Exit Signals
| Symbol | Type | Meaning |
|--------|------|---------|
| 🔺 **Large Green Triangle** | HC Long Entry | High Confidence long setup (Squeeze OFF + Oversold + Confluence) |
| 🔻 **Large Red Triangle** | HC Short Entry | High Confidence short setup (Squeeze OFF + Overbought + Confluence) |
| 🔺 Small green | Medium Long | Long setup without full confluence |
| 🔻 Small red | Medium Short | Short setup without full confluence |
| ✕ Orange X | Exit Long | Close long positions (exhaustion detected) |
| ✕ Teal X | Exit Short | Close short positions (exhaustion detected) |
**Trade only the LARGE triangles** for highest probability setups.

## Market States
The indicator identifies 7 distinct market states shown in the info table.
### State 1: 💤 CONSOLIDATION
**Conditions:**
- Squeeze: ON (black cross)
- Extension: Near zero (±1σ)
- Momentum: Contracting
**What's happening:** Price is range-bound, volatility dying down. Spring is being compressed.
**Action:** **WAIT.** Do not trade. Set alerts for Squeeze OFF.
---
### State 2: ⚡ BREAKOUT BULL / BEAR
**Conditions:**
- Squeeze: OFF (gray cross) ← **Key trigger**
- Extension: Still moderate
- Momentum: Strong directional move (bright green or red bars)
**What's happening:** Volatility explosion. Spring released. This is the start of a new trend.
**Action:** **ENTER** in direction of momentum.
- ⚡ BREAKOUT BULL → Go LONG
- ⚡ BREAKOUT BEAR → Go SHORT
**Best scenario:** Breakout from oversold/overbought levels (confluence with exhaustion indicator).
---
### State 3: ↗️ TRENDING UP / ↘️ TRENDING DOWN
**Conditions:**
- Squeeze: OFF or No Squeeze
- Extension: Growing (1σ to 2σ)
- Momentum: Sustained strong bars
**What's happening:** Trend in progress. Price moving away from averages.
**Action:** **HOLD** positions. Let winners run. Don't fight the trend.
---
### State 4: ⚠️ EXTENDED UP / DOWN
**Conditions:**
- Extension: Above 2σ threshold
- Momentum: Still strong (bright bars)
- Confluence: May be weak
**What's happening:** Price stretched but still has power. Caution zone.
**Action:** **CAUTION.** Don't enter new positions. Tighten stops on existing positions.

**Conditions:**
- Extension: >2σ (touching dashed lines)
- Momentum: Fading (bright bars turning dark)
- Velocity: Decreasing
- Confluence: 3/5 or better
**What's happening:** Rubber band stretched to maximum. Trend running out of energy.
**Action:** **EXIT** positions.
- 🔴 EXHAUSTION BULL → Close LONGS, consider SHORT
- 🟢 EXHAUSTION BEAR → Close SHORTS, consider LONG
**This is the highest probability reversal signal.**

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

Chart: Price makes final push but with decreasing volume
Indicator: Momentum bars turn DARK green
Orange X appears
Table: "EXHAUSTION BULL" + "4/5 🔺"
Action: CLOSE any longs
Consider SHORT entry
Step 3: SQUEEZE FORMS (Optional)

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

---
### State → Action Quick Guide
| See This State | Do This |
|---------------|---------|
| 💤 CONSOLIDATION | Wait, set alerts |
| ⚡ BREAKOUT | Enter in direction |
| ↗️/↘️ TRENDING | Hold positions |
| ⚠️ EXTENDED | Tighten stops, no new entries |
| 🔴/🟢 EXHAUSTION | Exit, consider reversal |
| — NEUTRAL | No trade |
---
## Troubleshooting
**Q: Indicator shows Exhaustion but price keeps going**
**A:** Check velocity and momentum. If still bright bars + velocity ↑, wait. True exhaustion needs momentum weakening.
**Q: Too many false signals**
**A:** Increase Min Confluence to 4/5. Use longer timeframe chart (4h instead of 1h).
**Q: Missing good trades**
**A:** Set alerts for "Squeeze OFF" and "HC Entry" signals. You can't watch charts 24/7.
**Q: Extension area looks weird**
**A:** Remember it's scaled 3x for visibility. Check table for actual values.
**Q: Which timeframe is best?**
**A:** 4H for swing trading, 1H for day trading. Lower = more signals but more noise.
**Q: Can I use this with other indicators?**
**A:** Yes! Combine with:
- Volume profile
- Support/resistance levels
- Moving averages on chart
- RSI for additional confirmation
---
## Final Thoughts
This indicator gives you a complete picture of market structure:
- **Where are we?** (Market State)
- **Where are we going?** (Momentum)
- **How far can it go?** (Extension)
- **When will it reverse?** (Exhaustion)
The key is **patience**. Wait for the complete setup:
1. Consolidation (⚫ Squeeze ON)
2. Breakout (⚪ Squeeze OFF)
3. Right extension direction (oversold for longs, overbought for shorts)
4. Strong confluence (3/5+)
When all pieces align, you get high-probability trades with clear entries, targets, and exits.
**Trade the cycle, not every wiggle.**

RSI Ladder TP Strategy v1.0 Overview
This strategy is an RSI-based reversal entry system with a ladder-style take-profit mechanism.
It supports Long-only, Short-only, or Both directions and provides optional Average Entry Price, Stop Loss, and Take Profit reference lines on the chart.
Entry Rules
Long Entry: RSI crosses above the Oversold level (default: 20).
Short Entry: RSI crosses below the Overbought level (default: 80).
Optional: If enabled, the script will close the current position when an opposite signal appears before opening a new one.
Exit Rules (Ladder Take Profit)
Take profit is placed as a ladder using tpLevels and tpStepPct.
Example (default tpStepPct = 1%, tpLevels = 10):
TP1 at +1%, TP2 at +2%, … TP10 at +10% (relative to current average entry price).
Each TP level closes tpClosePct of the remaining position, meaning it scales out geometrically:
If tpClosePct = 50% → remaining position becomes 50%, then 25%, then 12.5%, etc.
Stop Loss
Optional stop loss is placed at slPct (%) away from the average entry price:
Long: avg * (1 - slPct%)
Short: avg * (1 + slPct%)
Visual Lines
Average Entry Price Line: current strategy.position_avg_price
Stop Loss Line: based on slPct
Next TP Line: shows the estimated next TP level based on current profit%
All TP Lines: optional (can clutter the chart)
==============================================================
Recommended Use
This strategy is best used on markets with strong mean-reversion behavior.
For exchanges/bots that do not support hedge mode in a single strategy, run two separate instances:
One set to Long Only
One set to Short Only
Account GuardianAccount Guardian: Dynamic Risk/Reward Overlay
Introduction
Account Guardian is an open-source indicator for TradingView designed to help traders evaluate trade setups before entering positions. It automatically calculates Risk-to-Reward ratios based on market structure, displays visual Stop Loss and Take Profit zones, and provides real-time position sizing recommendations.
The indicator addresses a fundamental question every trader should ask before entering a trade: "Does this setup make mathematical sense?" Account Guardian answers this question visually and numerically, helping traders avoid impulsive entries with poor risk profiles.
Core Functionality
Account Guardian performs four primary functions:
Detects swing highs and swing lows to identify logical stop loss placement levels
Calculates Risk-to-Reward ratios for both long and short setups in real-time
Displays visual SL/TP zones on the chart for immediate trade planning
Computes position sizing based on your account size and risk tolerance
The goal is to provide traders with instant feedback on whether a potential trade meets their minimum risk/reward criteria before committing capital.
How It Works
Swing Detection
The indicator uses pivot point detection to identify recent swing highs and swing lows on the chart. These swing points serve as logical areas for stop loss placement:
For Long Trades: The most recent swing low becomes the stop loss level. Price breaking below this level would invalidate the bullish thesis.
For Short Trades: The most recent swing high becomes the stop loss level. Price breaking above this level would invalidate the bearish thesis.
The swing detection lookback period is configurable, allowing you to adjust sensitivity based on your trading timeframe and style.
It automatically adjusts the tp and sl when it is applied to your chart so it is always moving up and down!
Risk/Reward Calculation
Once swing levels are identified, the indicator calculates:
Entry Price: Current close price (where you would enter)
Stop Loss: Recent swing low (for longs) or swing high (for shorts)
Risk: Distance from entry to stop loss
Take Profit: Entry plus (Risk × Target Multiplier)
R:R Ratio: Reward divided by Risk
The R:R ratio is then evaluated against your configured thresholds to determine if the setup is valid, marginal, or poor.
Visual Elements
SL/TP Zones
When enabled, the indicator draws colored boxes on the chart showing:
Red Zone: Stop Loss area - the region between your entry and stop loss
Green/Gold/Red Zone: Take Profit area - colored based on R:R quality
The color coding provides instant visual feedback:
Green: R:R meets or exceeds your "Good R:R" threshold (default 3:1)
Gold: R:R meets minimum threshold but below "Good" (between 2:1 and 3:1)
Red: R:R below minimum threshold - setup should be avoided
Swing Point Markers
Small circles mark detected swing points on the chart:
Green circles: Swing lows (potential support / long SL levels)
Red circles: Swing highs (potential resistance / short SL levels)
Dashboard Panel
The dashboard in the top-right corner displays comprehensive trade planning information:
R:R Row: Current Risk-to-Reward ratio for long and short setups
Status Row: VALID, OK, BAD, or N/A based on R:R thresholds
Stop Loss Row: Exact price level for stop loss placement
Take Profit Row: Exact price level for take profit placement
Pos Size Row: Recommended position size based on your risk parameters
Risk $ Row: Dollar amount at risk per trade
Position Sizing Logic
The indicator calculates position size using the formula:
Position Size = Risk Amount / Risk per Unit
Where:
Risk Amount = Account Size × (Risk Percentage / 100)
Risk per Unit = Entry Price - Stop Loss Price
For example, with a $10,000 account risking 1% per trade ($100), if your entry is at 100 and stop loss at 98 (risk of 2 per unit), your position size would be 50 units.
Input Parameters
Swing Detection:
Swing Lookback: Number of bars to look back for pivot detection (default: 10). Higher values find more significant swing points but may be slower to update.
Target Multiplier: Multiplier applied to risk to calculate take profit distance (default: 2). A value of 2 means TP is 2× the distance of SL from entry.
Risk/Reward Thresholds:
Minimum R:R: Minimum acceptable Risk-to-Reward ratio (default: 2.0). Setups below this show as "BAD" in red.
Good R:R: Threshold for excellent setups (default: 3.0). Setups at or above this show as "VALID" in green.
Account Settings:
Account Size ($): Your trading account size in dollars (default: 10,000). Used for position sizing calculations.
Risk Per Trade (%): Percentage of account to risk per trade (default: 1.0%). Professional traders typically risk 0.5-2% per trade.
Display:
Show SL/TP Zones: Toggle visibility of the colored zone boxes on chart (default: enabled)
Show Dashboard: Toggle visibility of the information panel (default: enabled)
Analyze Direction: Choose to analyze Long only, Short only, or Both directions (default: Both)
How to Use This Indicator
Basic Workflow:
Add the indicator to your chart
Configure your account size and risk percentage in the settings
Set your minimum and good R:R thresholds based on your trading rules
Look at the dashboard to see current R:R for potential long and short entries
Only consider trades where the status shows "VALID" or at minimum "OK"
Use the displayed SL and TP levels for your order placement
Use the position size recommendation to determine lot/contract size
Interpreting the Dashboard:
VALID (Green): Excellent setup - R:R meets your "Good" threshold. This is the ideal scenario for taking a trade.
OK (Gold): Acceptable setup - R:R meets minimum but isn't optimal. Consider taking if other confluence factors align.
BAD (Red): Poor setup - R:R below minimum threshold. Avoid this trade or wait for better entry.
N/A (Gray): Cannot calculate - usually means no valid swing point detected yet.
Best Practices:
Use this indicator as a filter, not a signal generator. It tells you IF a trade makes sense, not WHEN to enter.
Combine with your existing entry strategy - use Account Guardian to validate setups from other analysis.
Adjust the swing lookback based on your timeframe. Lower timeframes may need smaller lookback values.
Be honest with your account size input - accurate position sizing requires accurate inputs.
Consider the target multiplier carefully. Higher multipliers mean larger potential reward but lower probability of hitting TP.
Alerts
The indicator includes four alert conditions:
Good Long Setup: Triggers when long R:R reaches or exceeds your "Good R:R" threshold
Good Short Setup: Triggers when short R:R reaches or exceeds your "Good R:R" threshold
Bad Long Setup: Triggers when long R:R falls below your minimum threshold
Bad Short Setup: Triggers when short R:R falls below your minimum threshold
These alerts can help you monitor multiple charts and get notified when favorable setups appear.
Technical Implementation
The indicator is built using Pine Script v6 and includes:
Pivot-based swing detection using ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow()
Dynamic box drawing for visual SL/TP zones
Table-based dashboard for clean information display
Color-coded visual feedback system
Persistent variable tracking for swing levels
Code Structure:
// Swing Detection
float swingHi = ta.pivothigh(high, swingLen, swingLen)
float swingLo = ta.pivotlow(low, swingLen, swingLen)
// R:R Calculation for Long
float longSL = recentSwingLo
float longRisk = entry - longSL
float longTP = entry + (longRisk * targetMult)
float longRR = (longTP - entry) / longRisk
// Position Sizing
float riskAmount = accountSize * (riskPct / 100)
float posSize = riskAmount / longRisk
Limitations
The indicator uses historical swing points which may not always represent optimal SL placement for your specific strategy
Position sizing assumes you can trade fractional units - adjust accordingly for instruments with minimum lot sizes
R:R calculations assume linear price movement and don't account for gaps or slippage
The indicator doesn't predict price direction - it only evaluates the mathematical viability of a setup
Swing detection has inherent lag due to the lookback period required for pivot confirmation
Recommended Settings by Trading Style
Scalping (1-5 minute charts):
Swing Lookback: 5-8
Target Multiplier: 1-2
Minimum R:R: 1.5
Good R:R: 2.0
Day Trading (15-60 minute charts):
Swing Lookback: 8-12
Target Multiplier: 2
Minimum R:R: 2.0
Good R:R: 3.0
Swing Trading (4H-Daily charts):
Swing Lookback: 10-20
Target Multiplier: 2-3
Minimum R:R: 2.5
Good R:R: 4.0
Why Risk/Reward Matters
Many traders focus solely on win rate, but profitability depends on the combination of win rate AND risk/reward ratio. Consider these scenarios:
50% win rate with 1:1 R:R = Breakeven (before costs)
50% win rate with 2:1 R:R = Profitable
40% win rate with 3:1 R:R = Profitable
60% win rate with 1:2 R:R = Losing money
Account Guardian helps ensure you only take trades where the math works in your favor, even if you're wrong more often than you're right.

BTC - Institutional Cost Corridor (Overlay)BTC - Institutional Cost Corridor | RM
Strategic Context
The approval of Spot Bitcoin ETFs on January 11, 2024, signaled the beginning of the "Institutional Era." Since then, price discovery has shifted from being purely retail-driven to being heavily influenced by massive, off-chain equity flows.
The Institutional Cost Corridor is an approach for a quantitative tool designed to solve the problem of "Institutional Blindness" by mapping the aggregate cost basis of Wall Street's entry. It allows for the identification of structural "gravity zones" where institutional capital is most likely to move from a state of profit into a state of defense.
The Methodology: Data Selection & Weighting
To ensure the output is statistically significant, the data engine focuses exclusively on the "Big 3" liquidity providers: BlackRock (IBIT), Fidelity (FBTC), and Bitwise (BITB). These three funds represent over 80% of total Spot ETF liquidity. A weighted ratio is applied (prioritizing BlackRock) to reflect the reality that a dollar flowing into IBIT has a significantly higher impact on market structure than a dollar in smaller, fragmented funds. This ensures the indicator follows the actual mass of institutional capital.
Recalculating the Shadow: Nominal Price & AUM
A common point of confusion is that Bitcoin ETFs have a completely different nominal price than Bitcoin itself (e.g., an IBIT share may trade at $50 while BTC is at $100,000). To solve this, the script does not look at the dollar price of the shares. Instead, it uses Assets Under Management (AUM) and Relative Performance Mapping . By calculating the percentage growth of the funds' underlying value since inception and projecting that growth onto the Bitcoin price axis, the script "re-scales" the institutional entry levels. This allows us to see exactly where Wall Street is "underwater" on a standard Bitcoin chart.
The Mathematical Foundations: Genesis vs. Anchored
The indicator utilizes two distinct mathematical approaches to triangulate the "Truth" of institutional positioning. These are not arbitrary assumptions, but forward-mapped models verified against professional financial benchmarks.
1. Conservative Floor (Genesis Mode)
• The Logic: This model uses a Cumulative Inflow VWAP . It treats every dollar that has entered the ETFs since Day 1 as part of a single, massive ledger.
• Scientific Justification: This approach maps to the "Fortress Zone" of early, high-conviction capital. Historical AUM performance data suggests that the largest influx of structural capital occurred during the launch phase of 2024. This logic identifies the Ultimate Floor —the level where the entire ETF cohort would flip to a net loss. In late 2025 research (e.g., Glassnode "True Market Mean"), this model consistently aligns with the deepest structural support of the bull cycle.
2. Wall Street Entry (Anchored Mode)
• The Logic: This model utilize a Relative Performance Anchor . It synchronizes the Bitcoin price on Launch Day with the growth performance of the ETF fund shares.
• Scientific Justification: This approach identifies the "Active Participant Basis." It reflects the entry price for the capital that fueled the most recent expansion cycles. It maps directly to the "Active Investors' Realized Price" cited by institutional research firms, identifying the immediate psychological "pain threshold" for the current market majority.
3. Institutional Mean (Hybrid Mode)
• The Logic: A 50/50 mathematical blend of the Conservative Floor and the Wall Street Entry .
• Justification: This is the "Equilibrium Zone." It serves as a neutral baseline by balancing early-stage "Genesis" conviction with late-cycle volatility. It represents the median cost basis of all current institutional holders.
4. The Shadow Corridor (Full Range)
• The Logic: Visualizes the entire spread between the Conservative Floor and the Wall Street Entry.
• Justification: The "Structural Support Cloud." Instead of a single price, it defines a regime . As long as Bitcoin remains above this cloud, the institutional trend remains in an "Expansion Phase." A re-entry into this corridor suggests a transition from a trending market into a value-accumulation phase.
Tactical Playbook: Scenario Logic
The Shadow Corridor (Full Range) visualizes the area between these two models, creating an "Institutional War Zone."
• Active Support Test: When price tests the Wall Street Entry (upper boundary), it indicates the active institutional majority is at breakeven. Expect significant defensive buying (bids) as funds protect their yearly performance reports.
• Deep Value Regime: Trading inside the Corridor is defined as a "Value Regime." This is where institutional accumulation historically absorbs retail capitulation.
• The Premium Trap: When the distance between price and the Corridor exceeds 35-40%, the market is "speculatively overextended," signaling a high probability of mean-reversion.
• Macro Breakdown: A Weekly (1W) candle closing below the Conservative Floor (lower boundary) signals a structural trend shift, indicating the majority of ETF-era capital is officially in a drawdown.
Operational Recommendation Best viewed on the Daily (1D) timeframe for macro structural analysis, providing the most reliable signal for institutional defense zones.

Elliott Wave Full Fractal System v2.0Elliott Wave Full Fractal System v2.0 – Q.C. FINAL (Guaranteed R/R)
Elliott Wave Full Fractal System is a multi-timeframe wave engine that automatically labels Elliott impulses and ABC corrections, then builds a rule-based, ATR-driven risk/reward framework around the “W3–W4–W5” leg.
“Guaranteed R/R” here means every order is placed with a predefined stop-loss and take-profit that respect a minimum Reward:Risk ratio – it does not mean guaranteed profits.
Core Idea
This strategy turns a full fractal Elliott Wave labelling engine into a systematic trading model.
It scans fractal pivots on three wave degrees (Primary, Intermediate, Minor) to detect 5-wave impulses and ABC corrections.
A separate “Trading Degree” pivot stream, filtered by a 200-EMA trend filter and ATR-based dynamic pivots, is then used to find W4 pullback entries with a minimum, user-defined Reward:Risk ratio.
Default Properties & Risk Assumptions
The backtest uses realistic but conservative defaults:
// Default properties used for backtesting
strategy(
"Elliott Wave Full Fractal System - Q.C. FINAL (Guaranteed R/R)",
overlay = true,
initial_capital = 10000, // realistic account size
default_qty_type = strategy.percent_of_equity,
default_qty_value = 1, // 1% risk per trade
commission_type = strategy.commission.cash_per_contract,
commission_value = 0.005, // example stock commission
slippage = 0 // see notes below
)
Account size: 10,000 (can be changed to match your own account).
Position sizing: 1% of equity per trade to keep risk per idea sustainable and aligned with TradingView’s recommendations.
Commission: 0.005 cash per contract/share as a realistic example for stock trading.
Slippage: set to 0 in code for clarity of “pure logic” backtesting. Real-life trading will experience slippage, so users should adjust this according to their market and broker.
Always re-run the backtest after changing any of these values, and avoid using high risk fractions (5–10%+) as that is rarely sustainable.
1. Full Fractal Wave Engine
The script builds and maintains four pivot streams using ATR-adaptive fractals:
Primary Degree (Macro Trend):
Captures the large swings that define the major trend. Labels ①–⑤ and ⒶⒷⒸ using blue “Circle” labels and thicker lines.
Intermediate Degree (Trading Degree):
Captures the medium swings (swing-trading horizon). Uses teal labels ( (1)…(5), (A)(B)(C) ).
Minor Degree (Micro Structure):
Tracks short-term swings inside the larger waves. Uses red roman numerals (i…v, a b c).
ABC Corrections (Optional):
When enabled, the engine tries to detect standard A–B–C corrective structures that follow a completed 5-wave impulse and plots them with dashed lines.
Each degree uses a dynamic pivot lookback that expands when ATR is above its EMA, so the system naturally requires “stronger” pivots in volatile environments and reacts faster in quiet conditions.
2. Theory Rules & Strict Mode
Normal Mode: More permissive detection. Designed to show more wave structures for educational / exploratory use.
Strict Mode: Enforces key Elliott constraints:
Wave 3 not shorter than waves 1 and 5.
No invalid W4 overlap with W1 (for standard impulses).
ABC Logic: After a confirmed bullish impulse, the script expects a down-up-down corrective pattern (A,B,C). After a bearish impulse, it looks for up-down-up.
3. Trend Filter & Pivots
EMA Trend Filter: A configurable EMA (default 200) is used as a non-wave trend filter.
Price above EMA → Only long setups are considered.
Price below EMA → Only short setups are considered.
ATR-Adaptive Pivots: The pivot engine scales its left/right bars based on current ATR vs ATR EMA, making waves and trading pivots more robust in volatile regimes.
4. Dynamic Risk Management (Guaranteed R/R Engine)
The trading engine is designed around risk, not just pattern recognition:
ATR-Based Stop:
Stop-loss is placed at:
Entry ± ATR × Multiplier (user-configurable, default 2.0).
This anchors risk to current volatility.
Minimum Reward:Risk Ratio:
For each setup, the script:
Computes the distance from entry to stop (risk).
Projects a take-profit target at risk × min_rr_ratio away from entry.
Only accepts the setup if risk is positive and the required R:R ratio is achievable.
Result: Every order is created with both TP and SL at a predefined distance, so each trade starts with a known, minimum Reward:Risk profile by design.
“Guaranteed R/R” refers exclusively to this order placement logic (TP/SL geometry), not to win-rate or profitability.
5. Trading Logic – W3–W4–W5 Pattern
The Trading pivot stream (separate from visual wave degrees) looks for a simple but powerful pattern:
Bullish structure:
Sequence of pivots forms a higher-high / higher-low pattern.
Price is above the EMA trend filter.
A strong “W3” leg is confirmed with structure rules (optionally stricter in Strict mode).
Entry (Long – W4 Pullback):
The “height” of W3 is measured.
Entry is placed at a configurable Fibonacci pullback (default 50%) inside that leg.
ATR-based stop is placed below entry.
Take-profit is projected to satisfy min Reward:Risk.
Bearish structure:
Mirrored logic (lower highs/lows, price below EMA, W3 down, W4 retrace up, W5 continuation down).
Once a valid setup is found, the script draws a colored box around the entry zone and a label describing the type of signal (“LONG SETUP” or “SHORT SETUP”) with the suggested limit price.
6. Orders & Execution
Entry Orders: The strategy uses limit orders at the computed W4 level (“Sniper Long” or “Sniper Short”).
Exits: A single strategy.exit() is attached to each entry with:
Take-profit at the projected minimum R:R target.
Stop-loss at ATR-based level.
One Trade at a Time: New setups are only used when there is no open position (strategy.opentrades == 0) to keep the logic clear and risk contained.
7. Visual Guide on the Chart
Wave Labels:
Primary: ①,②,③,④,⑤, ⒶⒷⒸ
Intermediate: (1)…(5), (A)(B)(C)
Minor: i…v, a b c
Trend EMA: Single blue EMA showing the dominant trend.
Setup Boxes:
Green transparent box → long entry zone.
Red transparent box → short entry zone.
Labels: “LONG SETUP / SHORT SETUP” labels mark the proposed limit entry with price.
8. How to Use This Strategy
Attach the strategy to your chart
Choose your market (stocks, indices, FX, crypto, futures, etc.) and timeframe (for example 1h, 4h, or Daily). Then add the strategy to the chart from your Scripts list.
Start with the default settings
Leave all inputs on their defaults first. This lets you see the “intended” behaviour and the exact properties used for the published backtest (account size, 1% risk, commission, etc.).
Study the wave map
Zoom in and out and look at the three wave degrees:
Blue circles → Primary degree (big picture trend).
Teal (1)…(5) → Intermediate degree (swing structure).
Red i…v → Minor degree (micro waves).
Use this to understand how the engine is interpreting the Elliott structure on your symbol.
Watch for valid setups
Look for the coloured boxes and labels:
Green box + “LONG SETUP” label → potential W4 pullback long in an uptrend.
Red box + “SHORT SETUP” label → potential W4 pullback short in a downtrend.
Only trades in the direction of the EMA trend filter are allowed by the strategy.
Check the Reward:Risk of each idea
For each setup, inspect:
Limit entry price.
ATR-based stop level.
Projected take-profit level.
Make sure the minimum Reward:Risk ratio matches your own rules before you consider trading it.
Backtest and evaluate
Open the Strategy Tester:
Verify you have a decent sample size (ideally 100+ trades).
Check drawdowns, average trade, win-rate and R:R distribution.
Change markets and timeframes to see where the logic behaves best.
Adapt to your own risk profile
If you plan to use it live:
Set Initial Capital to your real account size.
Adjust default_qty_value to a risk level you are comfortable with (often 0.5–2% per trade).
Set commission and slippage to realistic broker values.
Re-run the backtest after every major change.
Use as a framework, not a signal machine
Treat this as a structured Elliott/R:R framework:
Filter signals by higher-timeframe trend, major S/R, volume, or fundamentals.
Optionally hide some wave degrees or ABC labels if you want a cleaner chart.
Combine the system’s structure with your own trade management and discretion.
Best Practices & Limitations
This is an approximate Elliott Wave engine based on fractal pivots. It does not replace a full discretionary Elliott analysis.
All wave counts are algorithmic and can differ from a manual analyst’s interpretation.
Like any backtest, results depend heavily on:
Symbol and timeframe.
Sample size (more trades are better).
Realistic commission/slippage settings.
The 0-slippage default is chosen only to show the “raw logic”. In real markets, slippage can significantly impact performance.
No strategy wins all the time. Losing streaks and drawdowns will still occur even with a strict R:R framework.

VV Moving Average Convergence Divergence # VMACDv3 - Volume-Weighted MACD with A/D Divergence Detection
## Overview
**VMACDv3** (Volume-Weighted Moving Average Convergence Divergence Version 3) is a momentum indicator that applies volume-weighting to traditional MACD calculations on price, while using the Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) line for divergence detection. This hybrid approach combines volume-weighted price momentum with volume distribution analysis for comprehensive market insight.
## Key Features
- **Volume-Weighted Price MACD**: Traditional MACD calculation on price but weighted by volume for earlier signals
- **A/D Divergence Detection**: Identifies when A/D trend diverges from MACD momentum
- **Volume Strength Filtering**: Distinguishes high-volume confirmations from low-volume noise
- **Color-Coded Histogram**: 4-color system showing momentum direction and volume strength
- **Real-Time Alerts**: Background colors and alert conditions for bullish/bearish divergences
## Difference from ACCDv3
| Aspect | VMACDv3 | ACCDv3 |
|--------|---------|---------|
| **MACD Input** | **Price (Close)** | **A/D Line** |
| **Volume Weighting** | Applied to price | Applied to A/D line |
| **Primary Signal** | Volume-weighted price momentum | Volume distribution momentum |
| **Use Case** | Price momentum with volume confirmation | Volume flow and accumulation/distribution |
| **Sensitivity** | More responsive to price changes | More responsive to volume patterns |
| **Best For** | Trend following, breakouts | Volume analysis, smart money tracking |
**Key Insight**: VMACDv3 shows *where price is going* with volume weight, while ACCDv3 shows *where volume is accumulating/distributing*.
## Components
### 1. Volume-Weighted MACD on Price
Unlike standard MACD that uses simple price EMAs, VMACDv3 weights each price by its corresponding volume:
```
Fast Line = EMA(Price × Volume, 12) / EMA(Volume, 12)
Slow Line = EMA(Price × Volume, 26) / EMA(Volume, 26)
MACD = Fast Line - Slow Line
```
**Benefits of Volume Weighting**:
- High-volume price movements have greater impact
- Filters out low-volume noise and false moves
- Provides earlier trend change signals
- Better reflects institutional activity
### 2. Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) Line
Used for divergence detection, measuring buying/selling pressure:
```
A/D = Σ ((2 × Close - Low - High) / (High - Low)) × Volume
```
- **Rising A/D**: Accumulation (buying pressure)
- **Falling A/D**: Distribution (selling pressure)
- **Doji Handling**: When High = Low, contribution is zero
### 3. Signal Lines
- **MACD Line** (Blue, #2962FF): The fast-slow difference showing momentum
- **Signal Line** (Orange, #FF6D00): EMA or SMA smoothing of MACD
- **Zero Line**: Reference for bullish (above) vs bearish (below) bias
### 4. Histogram Color System
The histogram uses 4 distinct colors based on **direction** and **volume strength**:
| Condition | Color | Meaning |
|-----------|-------|---------|
| Rising + High Volume | **Dark Green** (#1B5E20) | Strong bullish momentum with volume confirmation |
| Rising + Low Volume | **Light Teal** (#26A69A) | Bullish momentum but weak volume (less reliable) |
| Falling + High Volume | **Dark Red** (#B71C1C) | Strong bearish momentum with volume confirmation |
| Falling + Low Volume | **Light Pink** (#FFCDD2) | Bearish momentum but weak volume (less reliable) |
Additional shading:
- **Light Cyan** (#B2DFDB): Positive but not rising (momentum stalling)
- **Bright Red** (#FF5252): Negative and accelerating down
### 5. Divergence Detection
VMACDv3 compares A/D trend against volume-weighted price MACD:
#### Bullish Divergence (Green Background)
- **Condition**: A/D is trending up BUT MACD is negative and trending down
- **Interpretation**: Volume is accumulating while price momentum appears weak
- **Signal**: Smart money accumulation, potential bullish reversal
- **Action**: Look for long entries, especially at support levels
#### Bearish Divergence (Red Background)
- **Condition**: A/D is trending down BUT MACD is positive and trending up
- **Interpretation**: Volume is distributing while price momentum appears strong
- **Signal**: Smart money distribution, potential bearish reversal
- **Action**: Consider exits, avoid new longs, watch for breakdown
## Parameters
| Parameter | Default | Range | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------|-------------|
| **Source** | Close | OHLC/HLC3/etc | Price source for MACD calculation |
| **Fast Length** | 12 | 1-50 | Period for fast EMA (shorter = more sensitive) |
| **Slow Length** | 26 | 1-100 | Period for slow EMA (longer = smoother) |
| **Signal Smoothing** | 9 | 1-50 | Period for signal line (MACD smoothing) |
| **Signal Line MA Type** | EMA | SMA/EMA | Moving average type for signal calculation |
| **Volume MA Length** | 20 | 5-100 | Period for volume average (strength filter) |
## Usage Guide
### Reading the Indicator
1. **MACD Lines (Blue & Orange)**
- **Blue Line (MACD)**: Volume-weighted price momentum
- **Orange Line (Signal)**: Smoothed trend of MACD
- **Crossovers**: Blue crosses above orange = bullish, below = bearish
- **Distance**: Wider gap = stronger momentum
- **Zero Line Position**: Above = bullish bias, below = bearish bias
2. **Histogram Colors**
- **Dark Green (#1B5E20)**: Strong bullish move with high volume - **most reliable buy signal**
- **Light Teal (#26A69A)**: Bullish but low volume - wait for confirmation
- **Dark Red (#B71C1C)**: Strong bearish move with high volume - **most reliable sell signal**
- **Light Pink (#FFCDD2)**: Bearish but low volume - may be temporary dip
3. **Background Divergence Alerts**
- **Green Background**: A/D accumulating while price weak - potential bottom
- **Red Background**: A/D distributing while price strong - potential top
- Most powerful at key support/resistance levels
### Trading Strategies
#### Strategy 1: Volume-Confirmed Trend Following
1. Wait for MACD to cross above zero line
2. Look for **dark green** histogram bars (high volume confirmation)
3. Enter long on second consecutive dark green bar
4. Hold while histogram remains green
5. Exit when histogram turns light green or red appears
6. Set stop below recent swing low
**Example**:
```
Price: 26,400 → 26,450 (rising)
MACD: -50 → +20 (crosses zero)
Histogram: Light teal → Dark green → Dark green
Volume: 50k → 75k → 90k (increasing)
```
#### Strategy 2: Divergence Reversal Trading
1. Identify divergence background (green = bullish, red = bearish)
2. Confirm with price structure (support/resistance, chart patterns)
3. Wait for MACD to cross signal line in divergence direction
4. Enter on first **dark colored** histogram bar after divergence
5. Set stop beyond divergence area
6. Target previous swing high/low
**Example - Bullish Divergence**:
```
Price: Making lower lows (26,350 → 26,300 → 26,250)
A/D: Rising (accumulation)
MACD: Below zero but starting to curve up
Background: Green shading appears
Entry: MACD crosses signal line + dark green bar
Stop: Below 26,230
Target: 26,450 (previous high)
```
#### Strategy 3: Momentum Scalping
1. Trade only in direction of MACD zero line (above = long, below = short)
2. Enter on dark colored bars only
3. Exit on first light colored bar or opposite color
4. Quick in and out (1-5 minute holds)
5. Tight stops (0.2-0.5% depending on instrument)
#### Strategy 4: Histogram Pattern Trading
**V-Bottom Reversal (Bullish)**:
- Red histogram bars start rising (becoming less negative)
- Forms "V" shape at the bottom
- Transitions to light red → light teal → **dark green**
- Entry: First dark green bar
- Signal: Momentum reversal with volume
**Λ-Top Reversal (Bearish)**:
- Green histogram bars start falling (becoming less positive)
- Forms inverted "V" at the top
- Transitions to light green → light pink → **dark red**
- Entry: First dark red bar
- Signal: Momentum exhaustion with volume
### Multi-Timeframe Analysis
**Recommended Approach**:
1. **Higher Timeframe (15m/1h)**: Identify overall trend direction
2. **Trading Timeframe (5m)**: Time entries using VMACDv3 signals
3. **Lower Timeframe (1m)**: Fine-tune entry prices
**Example Setup**:
```
15-minute: MACD above zero (bullish bias)
5-minute: Dark green histogram appears after pullback
1-minute: Enter on break of recent high with volume
```
### Volume Strength Interpretation
The volume filter compares current volume to 20-period average:
- **Volume > Average**: Dark colors (green/red) - high confidence signals
- **Volume < Average**: Light colors (teal/pink) - lower confidence signals
**Trading Rules**:
- ✓ **Aggressive**: Take all dark colored signals
- ✓ **Conservative**: Only take dark colors that follow 2+ light colors of same type
- ✗ **Avoid**: Trading light colored signals during high volatility
- ✗ **Avoid**: Ignoring volume context during news events
## Technical Details
### Volume-Weighted Calculation
```pine
// Volume-weighted fast EMA
fast_ma = ta.ema(src * volume, fast_length) / ta.ema(volume, fast_length)
// Volume-weighted slow EMA
slow_ma = ta.ema(src * volume, slow_length) / ta.ema(volume, slow_length)
// MACD is the difference
macd = fast_ma - slow_ma
// Signal line smoothing
signal = ta.ema(macd, signal_length) // or ta.sma() if SMA selected
// Histogram
hist = macd - signal
```
### Divergence Detection Logic
```pine
// A/D trending up if above its 5-period SMA
ad_trend = ad > ta.sma(ad, 5)
// MACD trending up if above zero
macd_trend = macd > 0
// Divergence when trends oppose each other
divergence = ad_trend != macd_trend
// Specific conditions for alerts
bullish_divergence = ad_trend and not macd_trend and macd < 0
bearish_divergence = not ad_trend and macd_trend and macd > 0
```
### Histogram Coloring Logic
```pine
hist_color = (hist >= 0
? (hist < hist
? (vol_strength ? #1B5E20 : #26A69A) // Rising: dark/light green
: #B2DFDB) // Positive but falling: cyan
: (hist < hist
? (vol_strength ? #B71C1C : #FFCDD2) // Rising (less negative): dark/light red
: #FF5252)) // Falling more: bright red
```

## Best Practices
### Entry Rules
✓ **Wait for dark colors**: High-volume confirmation is key
✓ **Confirm divergences**: Use with price support/resistance
✓ **Trade with zero line**: Long above, short below for best odds
✓ **Multiple timeframes**: Align 1m, 5m, 15m signals
✓ **Watch for patterns**: V-bottoms and Λ-tops are reliable
### Exit Rules
✓ **Partial profits**: Take 50% at first target
✓ **Trail stops**: Use histogram color changes
✓ **Respect signals**: Exit on opposite dark color
✓ **Time stops**: Close positions before major news
✓ **End of day**: Square up before close
### Avoid
✗ **Don't chase light colors**: Low volume = low confidence
✗ **Don't ignore divergence**: Early warning system
✗ **Don't overtrade**: Wait for clear setups
✗ **Don't fight the trend**: Zero line dictates bias
✗ **Don't skip stops**: Always use risk management
## Risk Management
### Position Sizing
- **Dark green/red signals**: 1-2% account risk
- **Light signals**: 0.5% account risk or skip
- **Divergence plays**: 1% account risk (higher uncertainty)
- **Multiple confirmations**: Up to 2% account risk
### Stop Loss Placement
- **Trend trades**: Below/above recent swing (20-30 points typical)
- **Breakout trades**: Below/above breakout level (15-25 points)
- **Divergence trades**: Beyond divergence extreme (25-40 points)
- **Scalp trades**: Tight stops at 10-15 points
### Profit Targets
- **Minimum**: 1.5:1 reward to risk ratio
- **Scalps**: 15-25 points (quick in/out)
- **Swing**: 50-100 points (hold through pullbacks)
- **Runners**: Trail with histogram color changes
## Timeframe Recommendations
| Timeframe | Trading Style | Typical Hold | Advantages | Challenges |
|-----------|---------------|--------------|------------|------------|
| **1-minute** | Scalping | 1-5 minutes | Fast profits, many setups | Noisy, high false signals |
| **5-minute** | Intraday | 15-60 minutes | Balance of speed/clarity | Still requires quick decisions |
| **15-minute** | Swing | 1-4 hours | Clearer trends, less noise | Fewer opportunities |
| **1-hour** | Position | 4-24 hours | Strong signals, less monitoring | Wider stops required |
**Recommendation**: Start with 5-minute for best balance of signal quality and opportunity frequency.
## Combining with Other Indicators
### VMACDv3 + ACCDv3
- **Use**: Confirm volume flow with price momentum
- **Signal**: Both showing dark green = highest conviction long
- **Divergence**: VMACDv3 bullish + ACCDv3 bearish = examine price action
### VMACDv3 + RSI
- **Use**: Overbought/oversold with momentum confirmation
- **Signal**: RSI < 30 + dark green VMACD = strong reversal
- **Caution**: RSI > 70 + light green VMACD = potential false breakout
### VMACDv3 + Elder Impulse
- **Use**: Bar coloring + histogram confirmation
- **Signal**: Green Elder bars + dark green VMACD = aligned momentum
- **Exit**: Blue Elder bars + light colors = momentum stalling
## Limitations
- **Requires volume data**: Will not work on instruments without volume feed
- **Lagging indicator**: MACD inherently follows price (2-3 bar delay)
- **Consolidation noise**: Generates false signals in tight ranges
- **Gap handling**: Large gaps can distort volume-weighted values
- **Not standalone**: Should combine with price action and support/resistance
## Troubleshooting
**Problem**: Too many light colored signals
**Solution**: Increase Volume MA Length to 30-40 for stricter filtering
**Problem**: Missing entries due to waiting for dark colors
**Solution**: Lower Volume MA Length to 10-15 for more signals (accept lower quality)
**Problem**: Divergences not appearing
**Solution**: Verify volume data available; check if A/D line is calculating
**Problem**: Histogram colors not changing
**Solution**: Ensure real-time data feed; refresh indicator
## Version History
- **v3**: Removed traditional MACD, using volume-weighted MACD on price with A/D divergence
- **v2**: Added A/D divergence detection, volume strength filtering, enhanced histogram colors
- **v1**: Basic volume-weighted MACD on price
## Related Indicators
**Companion Tools**:
- **ACCDv3**: Volume-weighted MACD on A/D line (distribution focus)
- **RSIv2**: RSI with A/D divergence detection
- **DMI**: Directional Movement Index with A/D divergence
- **Elder Impulse**: Bar coloring system using volume-weighted MACD
**Use Together**: VMACDv3 (momentum) + ACCDv3 (distribution) + Elder Impulse (bar colors) = complete volume-based trading system
