-View the passage of time impact so you can know where and when you could realize a profit.
-Multi-timeframes so you can stay on the same chart (Daily and below).
All these features are to help the user improve his analysis while trading options.
How to use it?
The user needs to obtain from the “option chain” the following inputs:
-Buy or sell (the strategy)
-The option price bought: at what price did you bought/sold one option.
-Instrument price when bought: the stock price when you bought/sold the option.
-Strike price: the strike price of the option.
-Interest rate: find the risk-free interest rate from the U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY. Example: for 2% interest rate, input: 0.02.
-Days to expire: how many days until the option expires.
-Volatility: the implied volatility of the option bought/sold. Example: for 45% implied volatility , input: 0.45.
-Day of entry: A calendar day of the month that the option bought/sold.
-Month of entry: Calendar month the option bought/sold.
-Year of entry: Calendar year the option bought/sold.
-Risk to reward: Profit/loss line defined by the user. Minimum input (-0.95) ; maximum input (3).
Example: If an option was bought, -0.95 means, 95% of the option value is lost (unrealized). If an option was bought, 3 means, the risk to reward is 3.
After entering all the inputs, press Ok and you should see “Calculation Complete” on the chart.
The user should not change the entry date and days to expire inputs as time passes after he entered the trade.

Whale Dash + Colored CandlesIstruzioni per l'uso:
Analisi Rapida: Guarda la dashboard per capire il trend generale e la potenza del volume.
Analisi Visiva: Quando vedi una candela colorata, sai che l'istituzionale ha lasciato l'impronta. Se una candela Oro appare sopra la SMA 50 (Trend Bullish), la probabilità di continuazione è molto alta.
Come usarla per le tue analisi:
Se vedi Potenza > 3.0x e Stato Balena: ATTIVA, guarda la candela corrente. Se è oro ed il trend è BULLISH, è un segnale di acquisto istituzionale.
Se vedi TREND: BEARISH e lo stato balena diventa attivo su una candela viola, le balene stanno scaricando posizioni.
Ingresso Long: Aspetta una candela Oro. Guarda la dashboard: se il Vol. Balena è molto alto (>3.0x), la forza del movimento è reale.
Ingresso Short: Aspetta una candela Viola. Guarda la dashboard: se il Vol. Balena è molto alto (>3.0x), la forza del movimento è reale.
Stop Loss: Posizionalo appena sotto la linea Oro/Viola creata dalla candela balena. Se il prezzo la rompe, l'istituzionale è uscito.
Consiglio:
Attendi sempre la fine dalla candela colorata per capire l'intenzione.
Instructions for use:
Quick Analysis: Look at the dashboard to understand the overall trend and volume strength.
Visual Analysis: When you see a colored candle, you know that the institutional player has left its mark. If a Gold candle appears above the SMA 50 (Bullish Trend), the probability of continuation is very high.
How to use it for your analyses:
If you see Power > 3.0x and Whale Status: ACTIVE, look at the current candle. If it is gold and the trend is BULLISH, it is a signal of institutional buying.
If you see TREND: BEARISH and the whale status becomes active on a purple candle, the whales are offloading positions.
Long Entry: Wait for a Gold candle. Check the dashboard: if Whale Vol. is very high (>3.0x), the strength of the movement is real.
Short Entry: Wait for a Purple candle. Check the dashboard: if Whale Vol. is very high (>3.0x), the strength of the movement is real.
Stop Loss: Place it just below the Gold/Purple line created by the whale candle. If the price breaks it, the institution has exited. Tip: always wait for the colored candle to close to understand the intention.
AI Reversal Signals Custom [wjdtks255]📊 Indicator Overview: AI Reversal Signals Custom
This indicator is a comprehensive trend-following and reversal detection tool. It combines the long-term trend bias of a 200 EMA with highly sensitive RSI-based reversal signals and momentum visualization. It is designed to capture market bottoms and tops by identifying exhaustion points in price action.
Key Features
200 EMA (Trend Filter): A gold line representing the long-term institutional trend. It helps traders distinguish between "buying the dip" and "catching a falling knife."
Reversal Buy/Sell Labels: Real-time signals that appear when the market recovers from extreme overbought or oversold conditions.
Dynamic Background Clouds: Visual indicators of trend strength changes, highlighting potential entry zones.
Momentum Histogram: Internal calculations mimic the "Bottom Bars" seen in professional suites to track the velocity of price movement.
📈 Trading Strategy (How to Trade)
1. High-Probability Long Setup (Buy)
Trend Confirmation: Price should ideally be trading above the 200 EMA for the highest success rate.
Signal: Wait for the "BUY" label to appear below the candle.
Momentum: Confirm with the Light Green background or histogram shift indicating recovery.
Entry: Enter on the close of the signal candle.
2. High-Probability Short Setup (Sell)
Trend Confirmation: Price should ideally be trading below the 200 EMA.
Signal: Wait for the "SELL" label to appear above the candle.
Momentum: Confirm with the Red background or histogram fading from green to red.
Entry: Enter on the close of the signal candle.
3. Risk Management
Stop Loss: Place your Stop Loss slightly below the recent swing low for Buy orders, or above the recent swing high for Sell orders.
Take Profit: Exit when the price reaches a major support/resistance level or when an opposing signal appears.
💡 Professional Tip
For the best results, use this indicator on the 15-minute or 1-hour timeframes. The most powerful "Ultimate Reversal" signals occur when there is a Bullish Divergence (Price making lower lows while the RSI makes higher lows) followed by a confirmed "BUY" label.
Order Flow Pro - CVD - Alphaomega18═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ORDER FLOW CVD SIMPLE - TRADINGVIEW PUBLICATION
Created by Alphaomega18
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📝 COMPLETE DESCRIPTION
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 FOLLOW INSTITUTIONAL TREND AT A GLANCE
Order Flow CVD is an ultra-simple and ultra-effective indicator that displays CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta) with a colored fill zone to instantly identify order flow trend.
No complexity, no clutter: just 2 lines and 1 colored zone to know if you should HOLD or EXIT your trade.
🔥 THE GOLDEN RULE OF TRADING
The secret of professional traders:
→ "Let your winners run, cut your losses"
But how do you know WHEN to hold and WHEN to exit?
**The answer: CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta)**
As long as institutional flow goes your way, HOLD the trade.
As soon as flow changes, EXIT.
This is exactly what this indicator does: it shows you the flow in real-time with ultra-clear visualization.
📊 HOW IT WORKS
🔷 **2 SIMPLE LINES**
**WHITE Line** = CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta)
→ Cumulative sum of volume delta
→ Rises when buying > selling
→ Falls when selling > buying
**YELLOW Line** = CVD Moving Average (20 periods default)
→ Smooths CVD to see trend
→ Filters noise
→ Reference for trend
🔷 **COLORED FILL ZONE**
🟢 **GREEN ZONE** = White CVD ABOVE yellow CVD
→ BULLISH trend
→ Institutions are BUYING
→ HOLD your LONG trades
→ Avoid SHORT
🔴 **RED ZONE** = White CVD BELOW yellow CVD
→ BEARISH trend
→ Institutions are SELLING
→ HOLD your SHORT trades
→ Avoid LONG
⚡ **CROSSOVER** = Zone changes color
→ Trend change
→ Exit or reverse position
→ Clear and sharp signal
🎯 USAGE RULES
📌 **RULE #1: HOLD A LONG TRADE**
You're in a LONG:
→ ✅ As long as ZONE IS GREEN → HOLD
→ ❌ As soon as ZONE TURNS RED → EXIT
Real example:
```
LONG entry: 16,500
Zone stays green for 2 hours
Price climbs to 16,650 (+150 points)
Zone turns red → EXIT
You pocket +150 points instead of giving back 50 points!
```
📌 **RULE #2: HOLD A SHORT TRADE**
You're in a SHORT:
→ ✅ As long as ZONE IS RED → HOLD
→ ❌ As soon as ZONE TURNS GREEN → EXIT
Real example:
```
SHORT entry: 16,500
Zone stays red for 1 hour
Price drops to 16,350 (-150 points)
Zone turns green → EXIT
You pocket +150 points!
```
📌 **RULE #3: DON'T ENTER COUNTER-TREND**
Green zone visible:
→ ❌ Do NOT enter SHORT
→ ✅ Look for LONG setups only
Red zone visible:
→ ❌ Do NOT enter LONG
→ ✅ Look for SHORT setups only
📌 **RULE #4: CROSSOVERS = CHANGE**
White CVD crosses yellow CVD:
→ Zone changes color
→ Institutional flow reverses
→ Exit or reverse position
💡 REAL USE CASES
📊 **CASE 1: MNQ Scalping 5min**
Setup:
→ Price breaks resistance
→ CVD zone is GREEN
→ You enter LONG
Management:
→ Price rises, pulls back, rises again
→ Zone STAYS GREEN → You hold
→ +30 points, +40 points, +50 points...
→ Zone turns RED → You exit at +52 points
Without CVD:
→ You would have exited at +15 points out of fear
→ You lose 37 points of gain!
📊 **CASE 2: ES Day Trading 15min**
Setup:
→ Price in range
→ CVD zone RED for 1 hour
→ Price touches top of range
→ You enter SHORT
Management:
→ Zone STAYS RED during decline
→ Price makes -20 points, -30 points, -40 points
→ Zone turns GREEN → You exit at +42 points
Without CVD:
→ You would have exited at +20 points (fear)
→ Or held too long and gave back gains
📊 **CASE 3: Avoid Losing Trade**
Perfect technical setup:
→ Triangle breakout
→ Supportive VWAP
→ FVG below
BUT... CVD zone is RED!
Decision:
→ You DON'T ENTER LONG
→ Price rises 10 points then collapses -30 points
→ Losing trade avoided thanks to CVD!

❌ "I don't know if trend continues" → Green/red zone = answer
Result:
✅ You hold your gains longer
✅ You exit at right time
✅ You avoid counter-trend trades
✅ You trade with institutions
🔗 PERFECT COMPLEMENT
Use with:
• **Order Flow Signals** → Precise signals (💎▲🚀)

## What This Indicator Does
The **Unmitigated MTF High Low v2.0** tracks unmitigated (untouch) high and low levels across multiple timeframes, helping you identify key support and resistance zones that the market hasn't revisited yet. Think of it as a sophisticated memory system for price action - it remembers where price has been, and more importantly, where it *hasn't been back to*.
### Why "Unmitigated" Matters
In futures trading, especially on instruments like NQ and ES, the market has a tendency to revisit levels where liquidity was left behind. An "unmitigated" level is one that hasn't been touched since it was formed. These levels often act as magnets for price, and understanding their age and proximity gives you a significant edge in:
- **Entry timing** - Waiting for price to approach tested levels
- **Exit planning** - Taking profits before ancient resistance/support
- **Risk management** - Avoiding entries when approaching multiple old levels
- **Liquidity mapping** - Visualizing where orders likely cluster
---
## Core Concepts
### 1. **Sessions & Age**
The indicator uses **New York trading sessions** (6:00 PM to 5:59 PM NY time) as the primary time measurement. This aligns with how futures markets naturally segment their activity.
**Age Categories:**
- 🟢 **New (0-1 sessions)** - Fresh levels, recently formed
- 🟡 **Medium (2-3 sessions)** - Tested by time, gaining significance
- 🔴 **Old (4-6 sessions)** - Highly significant, survived multiple days
- 🟣 **Ancient (7+ sessions)** - Extreme significance, major support/resistance
The longer a level remains unmitigated, the more significant it becomes. Think of it like compound interest - time adds weight to these zones.
### 2. **Multi-Timeframe Tracking**
You can set the indicator to track high/low levels from any timeframe (default is 15 minutes). This means you're watching for unmitigated 15-minute highs and lows while trading on, say, a 1-minute or 5-minute chart.
**Why this matters:**
- Higher timeframe levels have more weight
- You can see multiple timeframe structure simultaneously
- Helps you avoid fighting larger timeframe momentum
### 3. **Mitigation**
A level becomes "mitigated" (deactivated) when price touches it:
- **High levels** are mitigated when price reaches or exceeds them
- **Low levels** are mitigated when price reaches or goes below them
Once mitigated, the level disappears from view. The indicator only shows you the untouch levels that still matter.

## The Cave Diving Framework
This indicator is designed around the **Cave Diving Trading Framework** - a psychological and technical approach that maps cave diving safety protocols to futures trading risk management.
### 🤿 The Core Metaphor
**Cave diving has clear danger zones based on depth and overhead environment. Your trading should too.**
#### Shallow Water (New Levels, 0-1 Sessions)
- **Light**: Bright colors (bright red highs, bright green lows)
- **Psychology**: Fresh territory, recently tested
- **Trading**: Be aware but not overly concerned
- **Cave Diving Parallel**: You can see the surface, easy exit
#### Penetration Depth (Medium Levels, 2-3 Sessions)
- **Light**: Medium intensity colors
- **Psychology**: Building significance, market memory forming
- **Trading**: Start respecting these levels for entries/exits
- **Cave Diving Parallel**: Deeper in, need to track your line back
#### Deep Dive Zone (Old Levels, 4-6 Sessions)
- **Light**: Dark colors (deep maroon, dark blue)
- **Psychology**: Highly tested support/resistance
- **Trading**: Major decision points, plan accordingly
- **Cave Diving Parallel**: Significant overhead, careful navigation required
#### Overhead Environment (Ancient Levels, 7+ Sessions)
- **Light**: Very dark, purple/deep teal
- **Psychology**: Extreme caution required, major liquidity zones
- **Trading**: These are your "turn back" signals - don't fight ancient levels
- **Cave Diving Parallel**: Maximum danger, no room for error
### 🎯 The Proximity Alert System
Just like a cave diver's depth gauge that warns at critical thresholds, the proximity alerts (⚠️) tell you when you're entering a danger zone. When price gets within your configured threshold (default 5 points), the indicator:
- Highlights the level in **yellow** on the chart
- Shows **⚠️** in the table
- Signals: "You're entering a high-significance zone - adjust your position accordingly"
This prevents the trading equivalent of going deeper into a cave without checking your air supply.
---
## How to Use It for Trading
### 🎯 Entry Strategies
**1. The "Bounce Setup" (Mean Reversion)**
- Wait for price to approach an old or ancient unmitigated level
- Look for confluence: multiple levels nearby, bands narrowing
- Enter when price shows rejection (reversal candle patterns)
- **Example**: Price drops to a 6-session-old low, shows bullish engulfing → Long entry
**2. The "Break and Retest" (Trend Following)**
- Wait for price to break through an unmitigated level (mitigates it)
- Enter on the retest of the newly broken level
- **Example**: Price breaks above 4-session-old high → Wait for pullback to that level → Long entry
**3. The "Tunnel Trade" (Range Trading)**
- When bands are active, trade the range between 1st-2nd levels
- Short near upper band resistance, long near lower band support
- Exit at opposite side or when bands break
### 🚨 Risk Management Rules
**The Ancient Level Rule**
> Never fight ancient levels (7+ sessions). If you're long and approaching an ancient high, take profits. If you're short and approaching an ancient low, take profits.
These levels have survived a full trading week without being touched - there's likely significant liquidity and institutional interest there.
**The Proximity Exit Rule**
> When you see ⚠️ proximity alerts on multiple levels above/below your position, tighten stops or scale out.
This is your "overhead environment" warning. You're in dangerous territory.
**The New Level Filter**
> Be cautious taking positions based solely on new levels (0-1 sessions). Wait for them to age or combine with other confluence.
Fresh levels haven't been tested by time. They're like unconfirmed support/resistance.
### 📊 Reading Market Structure
**Bullish Structure (🟢 in status row)**
- Unmitigated lows are aging and holding
- Price respecting the lower band
- Old lows below acting as strong support
- **Bias**: Look for long entries at lower levels
**Bearish Structure (🔴 in status row)**
- Unmitigated highs are aging and holding
- Price respecting the upper band
- Old highs above acting as strong resistance
- **Bias**: Look for short entries at higher levels
**The Tunnel Compression**
- When the Δ (delta) in the status row is small, levels are tight
- This often precedes a breakout
- **Trading**: Wait for breakout direction, then trade the break
### 🔄 Strat Integration
The indicator shows Strat patterns in the status row:
- **1** - Inside bar (consolidation)
- **2U** - Broke high only (bullish)
- **2D** - Broke low only (bearish)
- **3** - Broke both (wide range, volatility)
Use these with the unmitigated levels:
- **2U near old high** → Potential resistance, watch for rejection
- **2D near old low** → Potential support, watch for bounce
- **3 pattern** → High volatility, respect wider stops

## Best Practices
### 🎯 Position Management
**1. Scaling In Near Old Levels**
```
Price approaching 5-session-old low:
- First position: 30% size at proximity alert (⚠️)
- Second position: 40% size at exact level
- Third position: 30% size if it shows strong rejection
```
**2. Scaling Out Near Ancient Levels**
```
Holding long position, approaching 8-session-old high:
- Exit 50% at proximity alert (⚠️)
- Exit 30% at exact level
- Trail stop on remaining 20%
```
### 🧠 Trading Psychology Integration
Drawing from principles in *The Mountain Is You*, this indicator helps you:
**1. Recognize Self-Sabotage Patterns**
- **The Premature Entry**: Entering before price reaches your planned level
- **Solution**: Set alerts at unmitigated levels, wait for proximity warnings
- **The Profit-Taking Problem**: Exiting too early from fear
- **Solution**: Identify the next unmitigated level and commit to holding until proximity alert
- **The Loss Holding**: Refusing to exit losing trades
- **Solution**: When price breaks through and mitigates your entry level, it's telling you the structure changed
**2. Building Better Habits**
The color-coded age system trains your brain to:
- Respect levels that have proven themselves over time
- Distinguish between noise (new levels) and structure (old levels)
- Make decisions based on objective data, not fear or greed
**3. Emotional Regulation**
The proximity alerts serve as:
- **Circuit breakers** - Forcing you to re-evaluate before dangerous zones
- **Permission to act** - Giving you objective signals to exit without second-guessing
- **Validation** - Confirming when you're in alignment with market structure
### 📝 Pre-Market Routine
**Daily Setup Checklist:**
1. ✅ Identify the 3 nearest unmitigated highs above current price
2. ✅ Identify the 3 nearest unmitigated lows below current price
3. ✅ Note which are ancient (7+) - these are your "no-go" zones
4. ✅ Check the tunnel width (Δ in status row) - tight or wide?
5. ✅ Set alerts at the 1st high and 1st low for proximity warnings
6. ✅ Plan: "If we go up, I exit at ___. If we go down, I enter at ___."
### 🔄 Timeframe Confluence
**Multi-Timeframe Strategy:**
Run the indicator on **three instances**:
- **15-minute** (short-term structure)
- **1-hour** (intermediate structure)
- **4-hour** (major structure)
**Strong Setup**: When all three timeframes show unmitigated levels converging at the same price zone.
**Example:**
- 15m: Old low at 21,400
- 1H: Ancient low at 21,398
- 4H: Ancient low at 21,395
- **Result**: 21,395-21,400 is a monster support zone
### ⚠️ What This Indicator Doesn't Do
**Not a Crystal Ball**
- It doesn't predict where price will go
- It shows you where price *hasn't been* and how long it's been avoided
- The trading decisions are still yours
**Not an Entry Signal Generator**
- It provides context and structure
- You need to combine it with your entry methodology (price action, indicators, order flow, etc.)
**Not Foolproof**
- Ancient levels get broken
- Proximity alerts can trigger early in strong trends
- The market doesn't "owe" you a reversal at any level
---
## Common Scenarios
### Scenario 1: "Level Cluster Ahead"
**Situation**: You're long at 21,400. The table shows:
- 1st High: 21,425 (2 sessions old)
- 2nd High: 21,428 (3 sessions old)
- 3rd High: 21,435 (6 sessions old)
**Interpretation**: There's a resistance cluster just 25-35 points away. The 6-session-old level is particularly significant.
**Action**:
- Set first profit target at 21,420 (before the cluster)
- Set second target at 21,426 (between 1st and 2nd)
- Trail remaining position, but be ready to exit on rejection at 21,435
**Cave Diving Analogy**: You're approaching an overhead section with limited clearance. Lighten your load (reduce position) before entering.
---
### Scenario 2: "Ancient Level Approaches"
**Situation**: The market is grinding higher. You see ⚠️ appear next to a 9-session-old high at 21,500.
**Interpretation**: This level has survived over a week without being touched. Massive potential liquidity zone.
**Action**:
- If long, this is your absolute exit zone. Take profits before or at level.
- If looking to short, wait for clear rejection (price taps and reverses)
- Don't try to buy the breakout until it clearly breaks and retests
**Cave Diving Analogy**: Your dive computer is beeping - you've reached your planned turn-back depth. No matter how interesting it looks ahead, honor your plan.
---
### Scenario 3: "Mitigated Levels Create New Structure"
**Situation**: Price breaks and mitigates the 1st High. The previous 2nd High becomes the new 1st High.
**Interpretation**: The structure just shifted. What was the 2nd level is now most relevant.
**Action**:
- Watch how price reacts to the newly-mitigated level
- If it holds below (acts as resistance), bearish
- If it reclaims and holds above (acts as support), bullish
- The NEW 1st High is your next target/resistance
**Cave Diving Analogy**: You've passed through a restriction - the cave layout ahead is different now. Update your mental map.
---
### Scenario 4: "Tight Tunnel, Upcoming Breakout"
**Situation**: The Δ in the status row shows 3.25 points (very tight). Bands are converging.
**Interpretation**: Price is consolidating between very close unmitigated levels. Breakout likely.
**Action**:
- Don't try to predict direction
- Set alerts above 1st High and below 1st Low
- When break occurs, trade the retest
- Expect volatility - use wider stops
**Cave Diving Analogy**: You're in a narrow passage. Movement will be sudden and directional once it starts.
---
### Scenario 5: "Imbalanced Structure"
**Situation**: The statistics row shows "📊 22↑ / 7↓"
**Interpretation**: There are many more unmitigated highs than lows. This suggests:
- Price has been declining (hitting lows, leaving highs behind)
- Potential bullish reversal zone (lots of overhead supply mitigated)
- Or continued bearish structure (resistance everywhere above)
**Action**:
- Look at the age of those 22 highs
- If mostly new (0-2 sessions): Just a recent downmove, not significant yet
- If many old/ancient: Strong overhead resistance, be cautious on longs
- Compare to price action: Is price respecting the remaining lows?
**Cave Diving Analogy**: You've swam deeper than your starting point - most of your markers are above you now. Are you planning the ascent or going deeper?
---
## Final Thoughts: The Philosophy
This indicator is built on a simple but powerful principle: **The market has memory, and that memory has weight.**
Every unmitigated level represents:
- Liquidity left behind
- Orders waiting to be filled
- Institutional interest potentially parked
- Psychological significance for participants
The longer a level remains unmitigated, the more "charged" it becomes. When price finally revisits it, something significant usually happens - either a strong reversal or a definitive break.
Your job as a trader isn't to predict which outcome will occur. Your job is to:
1. **Recognize** when you're approaching these charged zones
2. **Respect** them by adjusting position size and risk
3. **React** appropriately based on how price behaves at them
4. **Remember** that ancient levels (like ancient wisdom) deserve extra reverence
The Cave Diving Framework embedded in this indicator serves as a constant reminder: Trading, like cave diving, requires rigorous respect for environmental hazards, meticulous planning, and the discipline to turn back when your limits are reached.
**Every proximity alert is the market asking you**: *"Do you really want to go deeper?"*
Sometimes the answer is yes - when your setup, confluence, and risk management all align.
Often, the answer should be no - and that's the trader avoiding the accident that would have happened to the gambler.

### 🎯 Quick Reference Card
**Color System:**
- 🟢 Bright colors = New (0-1 sessions) = Shallow water
- 🟡 Medium colors = Medium (2-3 sessions) = Penetration depth
- 🔴 Dark colors = Old (4-6 sessions) = Deep dive zone
- 🟣 Deep dark colors = Ancient (7+ sessions) = Overhead environment
**Symbols:**
- ↑ ↑↑ ↑↑↑ ↑↑↑↑ ↑↑↑↑↑ = High levels (1st through 5th)
- ↓ ↓↓ ↓↓↓ ↓↓↓↓ ↓↓↓↓↓ = Low levels (1st through 5th)
- ⚠️ = Proximity alert (danger zone)
- 🟢 = Bullish structure
- 🔴 = Bearish structure
- Δ = Tunnel width (distance between 1st high and 1st low)
**Critical Rules:**
1. Never fight ancient levels (7+ sessions)
2. Respect proximity alerts (⚠️)
3. Scale out near old/ancient resistance
4. Wait for confluence when entering
5. Let mitigated levels prove their new role
---
**Remember**: The indicator gives you structure. The trading edge comes from your discipline in respecting that structure.
Trade safe, trade smart, and always know your exit before your entry. 🎯

## **Discover Options Trades BEFORE The Breakout - Institutional Cross-Strike Compression Analysis**
***
## **🔥 THE GAME-CHANGING DIFFERENCE**
Most option traders wait for price to move, then chase expensive options. **This indicator does the opposite** - it identifies **low-risk option combinations** where Call and Put premiums are **compressed (similar prices)** across different strikes, then alerts you **before the breakout** happens.
### **What Makes This Unique?**
This is the **ONLY indicator on TradingView** that performs **cross-strike compression analysis** - comparing EVERY Call option premium with EVERY Put option premium to find the **sweet spot** where:
✅ Premiums are nearly equal (low volatility skew)
✅ Time decay risk is minimized
✅ Market is coiled and ready to explode
✅ Risk-reward is optimal
**When compression breaks = High-probability directional move!**
***
## **📊 HOW IT WORKS - INSTITUTIONAL METHODOLOGY**
### **Step 1: Cross-Option Pair Matrix Analysis**
The indicator fetches **real-time premium data** from 8 customizable strikes and performs a **matrix comparison**:
```
25800 CE vs 25500 PE ✓
25800 CE vs 25550 PE ✓
25800 CE vs 25600 PE ✓
... (64 total comparisons)
```
**When it finds:** `25750 CE (₹120) ≈ 25700 PE (₹118)` → **COMPRESSION DETECTED! ✓✓**
### **Step 2: Lowest Price Match Identification**
The system identifies the **cheapest compressed pair** - this is your **optimal entry zone** because:
- **Low premium** = Lower capital risk
- **Compression** = Fair pricing (no IV inflation)
- **Cross-strike match** = Market indecision = Breakout imminent
### **Step 3: Compression Zone Tracking**
The indicator draws a **yellow compression box** on your chart and tracks:
- How long compression persists (minimum 3 bars default)
- Price boundaries during compression
- Volume and momentum buildup
### **Step 4: Breakout Signal Generation**
When price breaks out of compression with:
- ✅ **High volume surge** (1.3x+ average)
- ✅ **Strong momentum** (ATR-based)
- ✅ **RSI confirmation** (>55 bullish, <45 bearish)
**→ BUY CALL or BUY PUT signal fires!**
***
## **🎯 REAL TRADING EXAMPLE**
**Scenario:** NIFTY consolidating around 25,700
**What You See:**

2. **Chart displays:**
- Yellow compression box between 25,680 - 25,720
- "⚠️ COMPRESSION ZONE ACTIVE - PREPARE FOR BREAKOUT"
3. **Price breaks above 25,720 with volume**
- 🔥 **BUY CALL signal appears!**
- **Strike: 25750CE**
- **Entry: ₹25,735**
- **T1: ₹25,795 (1.5x compression range)**
- **T2: ₹25,855 (2.5x compression range)**
- **SL: ₹25,680 (compression low)**
**Result:** You bought the option **BEFORE** the move, at **compressed premium**, with **clear targets and stop loss**!

***
## **🎓 UNDERSTANDING THE EDGE**
### **Why Cross-Strike Compression Works:**
**Traditional Approach:**
- Traders compare same strike: "25700 CE vs 25700 PE"
- Limited information
- Miss the bigger picture
**Institutional Approach (This Indicator):**
- Compare ALL strikes: "25750 CE vs 25700 PE"
- **Reveals true market structure**
- Shows where smart money is positioned
### **The Psychology Behind It:**
When a **Call at 25750** trades at the same premium as a **Put at 25700**:
1. **Option writers** (institutions) see balanced risk
2. **Implied volatility** is not inflated
3. **Market makers** are comfortable with prices
4. **Time decay** is priced fairly
**This creates a LOW-RISK entry point!**
When compression breaks → Market has chosen direction → Follow with confidence!

ORB Fusion ML AdaptiveORB FUSION ML - ADAPTIVE OPENING RANGE BREAKOUT SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
ORB Fusion ML is an advanced Opening Range Breakout (ORB) system that combines traditional ORB methodology with machine learning probability scoring and adaptive reversal trading. Unlike basic ORB indicators, this system features intelligent breakout filtering, failed breakout detection, and complete trade lifecycle management with real-time visual feedback.
This guide explains the theoretical concepts, system components, and educational examples of how the indicator operates.
WHAT IS OPENING RANGE BREAKOUT (ORB)?
Core Concept:
The Opening Range Breakout strategy is based on the observation that the first 15-60 minutes of trading often establish a range that serves as support/resistance for the remainder of the session. Breakouts beyond this range have historically indicated potential directional moves.
How It Works:
Range Formation: System identifies high and low during opening period (default 30 minutes)
Breakout Detection: Monitors price for confirmed breaks above/below range
Signal Generation: Generates signals based on breakout method and filters
Target Projection: Projects extension targets based on range size
Why ORB May Be Effective:
Opening period often represents institutional positioning
Range boundaries historically act as support/resistance
Breakouts may indicate strong directional bias
Failed breakouts may signal reversal opportunities
Note: Historical patterns do not guarantee future occurrences.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS
1. OPENING RANGE DETECTION
Primary ORB:
Default: First 30 minutes of regular trading hours (9:30-10:00 AM ET)
Configurable: 5, 15, 30, or 60-minute ranges
Precision: Optional lower timeframe (LTF) data for exact high/low detection
LTF Precision Mode:
When enabled, system uses 1-minute data to identify precise range boundaries, even on higher timeframe charts. This may improve accuracy of breakout detection.
Session ORBs (Optional):
Asian Session: Typically 00:00-01:00 UTC
London Session: Typically 08:00-09:00 UTC
NY Session: Typically 13:30-14:30 UTC
These provide additional reference levels for 24-hour markets.
2. INITIAL BALANCE (IB)
The Initial Balance concept extends ORB methodology:
Components:
A-Period: First 30 minutes (9:30-10:00)
B-Period: Second 30 minutes (10:00-10:30)
IB Range: Combined high/low of both periods
IB Extensions:
System projects multiples of IB range (0.5×, 1.0×, 1.5×, 2.0×) as potential targets and key reference levels.
Historical Context:
IB methodology was popularized by traders observing that the first hour often establishes the day's trading range. Extensions beyond IB may indicate trend day development.
3. BREAKOUT CONFIRMATION METHODS
The system offers three confirmation methods:
A. Close Beyond Range (Default):
Bullish: Close > ORB High
Bearish: Close < ORB Low
Most balanced approach - requires bar to close beyond level.
B. Wick Beyond Range:
Bullish: High > ORB High
Bearish: Low < ORB Low
Most sensitive - any touch triggers. May generate more signals but higher false breakout rate.
C. Body Beyond Range:
Bullish: Min(Open, Close) > ORB High
Bearish: Max(Open, Close) < ORB Low
Most conservative - entire candle body must be beyond range.
Volume Confirmation:
Optional requirement that breakout occurs on above-average volume (default 1.5× 20-bar average). May filter weak breakouts lacking institutional participation.
4. MACHINE LEARNING PROBABILITY SCORING
The system's key differentiator is ML-based breakout filtering using logistic regression.
How It Works:
Feature Extraction:
When breakout candidate detected, system calculates:
ORB Range / ATR (range size normalization)
Volume Ratio (current vs. average)
VWAP Distance × Direction (alignment)
Gap Size × Direction (overnight gap influence)
Bar Impulse (momentum strength)
Probability Calculation:
pContinue = Probability breakout continues
pFail = Probability breakout fails and reverses
Calculated via logistic regression:
P = 1 / (1 + e^(-z))
where z = β₀ + β₁×Feature₁ + β₂×Feature₂ + ...
Coefficient Examples (User Configurable):
pContinue Model:
Intercept: -0.20 (slight bearish bias)
ORB Range/ATR: +0.80 (larger ranges favored)
Volume Ratio: +0.60 (higher volume increases probability)
VWAP Alignment: +0.50 (aligned with VWAP helps)
pFail Model:
Intercept: -0.30 (assumes most breakouts valid)
Volume Ratio: -0.50 (low volume increases failure risk)
VWAP Alignment: -0.90 (breaking away from VWAP risky)
ML Gating:
When enabled, breakout only signaled if:
pContinue ≥ Minimum Threshold (default 55%)
pFail ≤ Maximum Threshold (default 35%)
This filtering aims to reduce false breakouts by requiring favorable probability scores.
Model Training:
Users should backtest and optimize coefficients for their specific instrument and timeframe. Default values are educational starting points, not guaranteed optimal parameters.
Educational Note: ML models assume past feature relationships continue into the future. Market conditions may change in ways not captured by historical data.
5. FAILED BREAKOUT DETECTION & REVERSAL TRADING
A unique feature is automatic detection of failed breakouts and generation of counter-trend reversal setups.
Detection Logic:
Failure Conditions:
For Bullish Breakout that fails:
- Initially broke above ORB High
- After N bars (default 3), price closes back inside range
- Must close below (ORB High - Buffer)
- Buffer = ATR × 0.1 (default)
For Bearish Breakout that fails:
- Initially broke below ORB Low
- After N bars, price closes back inside range
- Must close above (ORB Low + Buffer)
Automatic Reversal Entry:
When failure detected, system automatically:
Generates reversal entry at current close
Sets stop loss beyond recent extreme + small buffer
Projects 3 targets based on ORB range multiples
Target Calculations:
For failed bullish breakout (now SHORT):
Entry = Close (when failure confirmed)
Stop = Recent High + (ATR × 0.10)
T1 = ORB High - (ORB Range × 0.5) // 50% retracement
T2 = ORB High - (ORB Range × 1.0) // Full retracement
T3 = ORB High - (ORB Range × 1.5) // Beyond opposite boundary
Trade Lifecycle Management:
The system tracks reversal trades in real-time through multiple states:
State 0: No trade
State 1: Breakout active (monitoring for failure)
State 2: Breakout failed (not used currently)
State 3: Reversal entry taken
State 4: Target 1 hit
State 5: Target 2 hit
State 6: Target 3 hit
State 7: Stopped out
State 8: Complete
Real-Time Tracking:
MFE (Maximum Favorable Excursion): Best price achieved
MAE (Maximum Adverse Excursion): Worst price against position
Dynamic Lines & Labels: Visual updates as trade progresses
Color Coding: Green for hit targets, gray for stopped trades
Visual Feedback:
Entry line (solid when active, dotted when stopped)
Stop loss line (red dashed)
Target lines (green when hit, gray when stopped)
Labels update in real-time with status
This complete lifecycle tracking provides educational insight into trade development and risk/reward realization.
Educational Context: Failed breakouts are a recognized pattern in technical analysis. The theory is that trapped traders may need to exit, creating momentum in the opposite direction. However, not all failed breakouts result in profitable reversals.
6. EXTENSION TARGETS
System projects Fibonacci-based extension levels beyond ORB boundaries.
Bullish Extensions (Above ORB High):
1.272× (ORB High + ORB Range × 0.272)
1.5× (ORB High + ORB Range × 0.5)
1.618× (ORB High + ORB Range × 0.618)
2.0× (ORB High + ORB Range × 1.0)
2.618× (ORB High + ORB Range × 1.618)
3.0× (ORB High + ORB Range × 2.0)
Bearish Extensions (Below ORB Low):
Same multipliers applied below ORB Low
Visual Representation:
Dotted lines until reached
Solid lines after price touches level
Color coding (green for bullish, red for bearish)
These serve as potential profit targets and key reference levels.
7. DAY TYPE CLASSIFICATION
System attempts to classify trading day based on price movement relative to Initial Balance.
Classification Logic:
IB Extension = (Current Price - IB Boundary) / IB Range
Day Types:
Trend Day: Extension ≥ 1.5× IB Range
- Strong directional movement
- Price extends significantly beyond IB
Normal Day: Extension between 0.5× and 1.5×
- Moderate movement
- Some extension but not extreme
Rotation Day: Price stays within IB
- Range-bound conditions
- Limited directional conviction
Historical Context:
Day type classification comes from market profile analysis, suggesting different trading approaches for different conditions. However, classification is backward-looking and may change throughout the session.
8. VWAP INTEGRATION
Volume-Weighted Average Price included as institutional reference level.
Calculation:
VWAP = Σ(Typical Price × Volume) / Σ(Volume)
Typical Price = (High + Low + Close) / 3
Standard Deviation Bands:
Band 1: VWAP ± 1.0 σ
Band 2: VWAP ± 2.0 σ
Usage:
Alignment with VWAP may indicate institutional support
Distance from VWAP factored into ML probability scoring
Bands suggest potential overbought/oversold extremes
Note: VWAP is widely used by institutional traders as a benchmark, but this does not guarantee its predictive value.
9. GAP ANALYSIS
Tracks overnight gaps and fill statistics.
Gap Detection:
Gap Size = Open - Previous Close
Classification:
Gap Up: Gap > ATR × 0.1
Gap Down: Gap < -ATR × 0.1
No Gap: Otherwise
Gap Fill Tracking:
Monitors if price returns to previous close
Calculates fill rate over time
Displays previous close as reference level
Historical Context:
Market folklore suggests "gaps get filled," though statistical evidence varies by market and timeframe.
10. MOMENTUM CANDLE VISUALIZATION
Optional colored boxes around candles showing position relative to ORB.
Color Coding:
Blue: Inside ORB range
Green: Above ORB High (bullish momentum)
Red: Below ORB Low (bearish momentum)
Bright Green: Breakout bar
Orange: Failed breakout bar
Gray: Stopped out bar
Lime: Target hit bar
Provides quick visual context of price location and key events.

USAGE GUIDELINES - EDUCATIONAL EXAMPLES
Getting Started:
Step 1: Chart Setup
Add indicator to chart
Select appropriate timeframe (1-5 min recommended for ORB trading)
Choose display mode (start with Standard)
Step 2: Opening Range Formation
During first 30 minutes (9:30-10:00 ET default)
Watch ORB High/Low levels form
Note range size relative to ATR
Step 3: Breakout Monitoring
After ORB complete, watch for breakout candidates
Check ML scores if enabled
Verify volume confirmation
Step 4: Signal Evaluation
Consider confidence grade
Review trade state and targets
Evaluate risk/reward ratio
Interpreting ML Scores:
Example 1: High Probability Breakout
Breakout: Bullish
pContinue: 72%
pFail: 18%
ML Status: Pass
Grade: A
Interpretation:
- High continuation probability
- Low failure probability
- Passes ML filter
- May warrant consideration
Example 2: Rejected Breakout
Breakout: Bearish
pContinue: 48%
pFail: 52%
ML Status: Reject
Grade: D
Interpretation:
- Low continuation probability
- High failure probability
- ML filter blocks signal
- Small 'X' marker shows rejection
Note: ML scores are mathematical outputs based on historical data. They do not guarantee outcomes.
Reversal Trade Example:
Scenario:
9:45 AM: Bullish breakout above ORB High
9:46 AM: Price extends to +0.8× ORB range
9:48 AM: Price reverses, closes back below ORB High
9:49 AM: Failure confirmed (3 bars inside range)
System Response:
- Marks failed breakout with 'FAIL' label
- Generates SHORT reversal entry
- Sets stop above recent high
- Projects 3 targets
- Trade State → 3 (Reversal Active)
- Entry line and targets display
Potential Outcomes:
- Stop hit → State 7 (Stopped), lines gray out
- T1 hit → State 4, T1 line turns green
- T2 hit → State 5, T2 line turns green
- T3 hit → State 6, T3 line turns green
All tracked in real-time with visual updates.
Risk Management Considerations:
Position Sizing Example:
Account: $25,000
Risk per trade: 1% = $250
Stop distance: 1.5 ATR = $150 per share
Position size: $250 / $150 = 1.67 shares (round to 1)
Stop Loss Guidelines:
Breakout trades: ORB midpoint or opposite boundary
Reversal trades: System-provided stop (recent extreme + buffer)
Never widen system stops
Target Management:
Consider scaling out at T1, T2, T3
Trail stops after T1 reached
Full exit if stopped
These are educational examples, not recommendations. Users must develop their own risk management based on personal tolerance and account size.
OPTIMIZATION SUGGESTIONS
For Stock Indices (ES, NQ):
Suggested Settings:
ORB Timeframe: 30 minutes
Confirmation: Close
Volume Filter: ON (1.5×)
ML Filter: ON
Display Mode: Standard
Rationale:
30-min ORB standard for equity indices
Close confirmation balances speed and reliability
Volume important for institutional participation
ML helps filter noise
Historical Observation:
Indices often respect ORB levels during regular hours.
For Individual Stocks:
Suggested Settings:
ORB Timeframe: 5-15 minutes
Confirmation: Close or Body
Volume Filter: ON (1.8-2.0×)
RTH Only: ON
Failed Breakouts: ON
Rationale:
Shorter ORB may be appropriate for volatile stocks
Volume critical to filter low-liquidity moves
RTH avoids pre-market noise
Failed breakouts common in stocks
For Forex:
Suggested Settings:
ORB Timeframe: 60 minutes
Session ORBs: ON (Asian, London)
Volume Filter: OFF or low threshold
24-hour mode: ON
Rationale:
Forex trades 24 hours, need session awareness
Volume data less reliable in forex
Longer ORB for slower forex movement
For Crypto:
Suggested Settings:
ORB Timeframe: 30-60 minutes
Confirmation: Body (more conservative)
Volume Filter: ON (2.0×+)
Display Mode: Advanced
Rationale:
High volatility requires conservative confirmation
Volume crucial to distinguish real moves from noise
24-hour market benefits from multiple session ORBs
ML COEFFICIENT TUNING
Users can optimize ML model coefficients through backtesting.
Approach:
Data Collection: Review rejected breakouts - were they correct to reject?
Pattern Analysis: Which features correlate with success/failure?
Coefficient Adjustment: Increase weights for predictive features
Threshold Tuning: Adjust minimum pContinue and maximum pFail
Validation: Test on out-of-sample data
Example Optimization:
If finding:
High-volume breakouts consistently succeed
Low-volume breakouts often fail
Action:
Increase pCont w(Volume Ratio) from 0.60 to 0.80
Increase pFail w(Volume Ratio) magnitude (more negative)
If finding:
VWAP alignment highly predictive
Gap direction not helpful
Action:
Increase pCont w(VWAP Distance×Dir) from 0.50 to 0.70
Decrease pCont w(Gap×Dir) toward 0.0
Important: Optimization should be done on historical data and validated on out-of-sample periods. Overfitting to past data does not guarantee future performance.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What timeframe should I use?
A: ORB methodology is typically applied to intraday charts. Suggestions:
1-5 min: Active trading, multiple setups per day
5-15 min: Balanced view, clearer signals
15-30 min: Higher timeframe confirmation
The indicator works on any timeframe, but ORB is traditionally an intraday concept.
Q: Do I need the ML filter enabled?
A: This is a user choice:
ML Enabled:
Fewer signals
Potentially higher quality (filters low-probability)
Requires coefficient optimization
More complex
ML Disabled:
More signals
Simpler operation
Traditional ORB approach
May include lower-quality breakouts
Consider paper trading both approaches to determine preference.
Q: How should I interpret pContinue and pFail?
A: These are probability estimates from the logistic regression model:
pContinue 70% / pFail 25%: Model suggests favorable continuation odds
pContinue 45% / pFail 55%: Model suggests breakout likely to fail
pContinue 60% / pFail 35%: Borderline, depends on thresholds
Remember: These are mathematical outputs based on historical feature relationships. They are not certainties.
Q: Should I always take reversal trades?
A: Reversal trades are optional setups. Considerations:
Potential Advantages:
Trapped traders may need to exit
Clear stop loss levels
Defined targets
Potential Risks:
Counter-trend trading
Original breakout may resume
Requires quick reaction
Users should evaluate reversal setups like any other trade based on personal strategy and risk tolerance.
Q: What if ORB range is very small?
A: Small ranges may indicate:
Low volatility session opening
Potential for expansion later
Less reliable breakout levels
Considerations:
Larger ranges often more significant
Small ranges may need wider stops relative to range
ORB Range/ATR ratio helps normalize
The ML model includes this via the ORB Range/ATR feature.
Q: Can I use this on stocks, forex, crypto?
A: System is adaptable:
Stocks: Designed primarily for stock indices and equities. Use RTH mode.
Forex: Enable session ORBs. Volume filter less relevant. Adjust for 24-hour nature.
Crypto: Very volatile. Consider conservative confirmation method (Body). Higher volume thresholds.
Each market has unique characteristics. Extensive testing recommended.
Q: How do I optimize ML coefficients?
A: Systematic approach:
Collect data on 50-100+ breakouts
Note which succeeded/failed
Analyze feature values for each
Identify correlations
Adjust coefficients to emphasize predictive features
Validate on different time period
Iterate
Alternatively, use regression analysis on historical breakout data if you have programming skills.
Q: What does "Stopped Out" mean for reversals?
A: Reversal trade hit its stop loss:
Price moved against reversal position
Original breakout may have resumed
Trade closed at loss
Lines and labels gray out
Trade State → 7
This is part of normal trading - not all reversals succeed.
Q: Can I change ORB timeframe intraday?
A: ORB timeframe setting affects the next day's ORB. Current day's ORB remains fixed. To see different ORB sizes, you would need to change setting and wait for next session.
Q: Why do rejected breakouts show an 'X'?
A: When "Mark Rejected Breakout Candidates" enabled:
Small 'X' appears when ML filter rejects a breakout
Shows where system prevented a signal
Useful for model calibration
Helps evaluate if ML making good decisions
You can disable this marker if it creates clutter.
ADVANCED CONCEPTS
1. Adaptive vs. Static ORB:
Traditional ORB uses fixed time windows. This system adds adaptability through:
ML probability scoring (adapts to current conditions)
Multiple session ORBs (adapts to global markets)
Failed breakout detection (adapts when setup fails)
Real-time trade management (adapts as trade develops)
This creates a more dynamic approach than simple static levels.
2. Confluence Scoring:
System internally calculates confluence (agreement of factors):
Breakout direction
Volume confirmation
VWAP alignment
ML probability scores
Gap direction
Momentum strength
Higher confluence typically results in higher grade (A+, A, B+, etc.).
3. Trade State Machine:
The 8-state system provides complete trade lifecycle:
State 0: Waiting → No setup
State 1: Breakout → Monitoring for failure
State 2: Failed → (transition state)
State 3: Reversal Active → In counter-trend position
State 4: T1 Hit → First target reached
State 5: T2 Hit → Second target reached
State 6: T3 Hit → Third target reached (full success)
State 7: Stopped → Hit stop loss
State 8: Complete → Trade resolved
Each state has specific visual properties and logic.
4. Real-Time Performance Attribution:
MFE/MAE tracking provides insight:
Maximum Favorable Excursion (MFE):
Best price achieved during trade
Shows potential if optimal exit used
Educational metric for exit strategy analysis
Maximum Adverse Excursion (MAE):
Worst price against position
Shows drawdown during trade
Helps evaluate stop placement
These appear in Narrative Dashboard during active reversals.
THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS
Why Opening Range Matters:
Several theories support ORB methodology:
1. Information Incorporation:
Opening period represents initial consensus on overnight news and pre-market sentiment. Range boundaries may reflect this information.
2. Order Flow:
Institutional traders often execute during opening period, establishing supply/demand zones.
3. Behavioral Finance:
Traders psychologically anchor to opening range levels. Self-fulfilling prophecy may strengthen these levels.
4. Market Microstructure:
Opening auction establishes price discovery. Breaks beyond may indicate new information or momentum.
Academic Note: While ORB is widely used, academic evidence on its effectiveness varies. Like all technical analysis, it should be evaluated empirically for each specific application.
Machine Learning in Trading:
This system uses supervised learning (logistic regression):
Advantages:
Interpretable (can see feature weights)
Fast calculation
Probabilistic output
Well-understood mathematically
Limitations:
Assumes linear relationships
Requires feature engineering
Needs periodic retraining
Not adaptive to regime changes automatically
More sophisticated ML (neural networks, ensemble methods) could potentially improve performance but at cost of interpretability and speed.
Failed Breakouts & Market Psychology:
Failed breakout trading exploits several concepts:
1. Stop Hunting:
Large players may push price to trigger stops, then reverse.
2. False Breakouts:
Insufficient conviction leads to failed breakout and quick reversal.
3. Trapped Traders:
Those who entered breakout now forced to exit, creating momentum opposite direction.
4. Mean Reversion:
After failed directional attempt, price may revert to range or beyond.
These are theoretical frameworks, not guaranteed patterns.

Futures Risk-Based Position CalculatorFutures Risk‑Based Position Calculator — Description
This TradingView indicator automatically calculates and displays Entry, Stop Loss (SL), and Take Profit (TP) levels for futures trades based on a fixed dollar‑risk amount.
What it does
Uses your account balance, dollar risk, number of contracts, point value, and tick size to compute how far the stop should be from the entry.
Determines the take‑profit level using a chosen risk‑to‑reward ratio.
Draws three lines on the chart:
Entry line
Stop loss line
Take profit line
Places labels next to the SL and TP lines showing prices and point distances.
Key features
Supports long or short calculation mode.
Configurable line styling:
Width, style (solid/dashed/dotted), color, opacity.
Separate styling for entry, SL, and TP.
Configurable label behavior:
Optional background.
Text color choices.
Adjustable vertical offset to avoid overlapping the lines.
Lines extend left/right by user‑defined bar amounts.
Values are always rounded to the market's tick size.
How levels are calculated
Entry = current close rounded to tick size.
Stop distance (points) = dollarRisk / (contracts × pointValue).
SL = entry − distance (long) or entry + distance (short).
TP = entry + distance × RR (long) or entry − distance × RR (short).
Visual behavior
Lines and labels update only on the last bar to avoid clutter.
Labels show:
SL: price, point distance, and contract count.
TP: price and point distance.
MARAL - Ultra Filtered Execution Master EngineMARAL — Super Premium Execution Intelligence
Ultra-Filtered Master Engine + Signals + Entry Checklist + Live Execution Board
What “MARAL” Means
MARAL = Market Awareness + Risk Alignment + Action Logic
Built to align context → risk → decision clearly on the chart.
________________________________________
What MARAL
MARAL is a super-premium TradingView framework that provides:
• ✅ Sharp Buy/Sell signals
• ✅ Pre-entry permission using a visual checklist
• ✅ Post-entry trade management guidance via a live execution board
• ✅ Probability/score readability to support decisions under pressure
Most indicators stop at: “Buy/Sell.”
MARAL goes further: “Should I take it? Should I stay? Should I protect? Should I partially exit? Should I exit?”
________________________________________
Built From Real Trading (Loss → Discipline → System)
MARAL was developed from 3–4 years of live market study, including my own losses and wins.
It’s built for real execution reliability, not “perfect marketing backtests.”
________________________________________
Why MARAL Is Super Premium
Retail traders don’t fail only because of entries. They fail because of execution mistakes:
• entering without context (bias/structure/volatility mismatch)
• trading inside chop/range repeatedly
• holding losers + cutting winners (emotion exits)
• no partial-profit structure
• revenge trading
• late entries/late exits in overextended moves
MARAL is designed to reduce these execution errors with a structured workflow.
________________________________________
MARAL Architecture & “8-Layer” Intelligence
Many premium tools give 1–3 layers (signals + a couple confirmations).
MARAL is built as a multi-layer execution framework (~8 layers):
1. Signal Layer (Buy/Sell triggers)
2. Higher-Timeframe Bias Layer (directional alignment)
3. Structure Layer (bull/bear structure context)
4. Momentum Layer (RSI + Ultra-Filtered RSI confirmation)
5. Volatility Layer (ATR% tradability)
6. Trend-Strength Layer (ADX environment)
7. Scoring & Probability Layer (Long/Short score + trend vs reversal pressure)
8. Execution Layer (post-entry board: hold/protect/partial exit/exit)
This is why MARAL behaves like an execution intelligence system, not just an arrow tool.
________________________________________
Panel 1 — Ultra-Filtered Master Engine (The Brain)
The Ultra-Filtered Master Engine powers MARAL’s signals + context + scoring.
It continuously evaluates:
• Multi-timeframe bias agreement
• Structure confirmation
• Momentum quality (noise-filtered)
• Volatility & trend strength (tradability)
• Score & probability readability (trend vs reversal pressure)
Result: signals + context, not blind arrows.
________________________________________
Panel 2 — Entry Checklist (Pre-Entry Permission — No Signal Blocking)
Instead of hiding signals, MARAL shows a permission checklist that evaluates context and displays:
ENTRY / WAIT / SKIP
✅ Signals remain visible
✅ Reduces impulsive trades
✅ Trader stays in control
________________________________________
Panel 3 — Execution Board (Post-Entry Decision Support — Premium Edge)
A live execution board guides management decisions:
• Trade Status
• Market Phase (trend/range awareness)
• TP Probability
• Obstacle Ahead (nearby friction/risk)
• Exit Pressure
• Structure State
• Momentum Health
• Score Trend
• Risk State (includes Overextended)
• Trade Age
• Action: Hold / Protect / Partial Exit / Exit / Wait
________________________________________
Where MARAL Works (Clear & Honest)
MARAL is designed for liquid, directional instruments:
✅ Crypto: BTC/ETH + major liquid pairs
✅ Forex: major pairs
✅ Gold: XAUUSD
✅ Indices: major global indices
________________________________________
Important Note for Options Traders — Please Read Before Buying
MARAL is NOT recommended for options premium trading (especially short-dated/OTM), because option pricing is strongly affected by IV, Theta decay, Gamma, spreads, and expiry behavior.
Even if the underlying chart direction is correct, options can lose due to IV crush / time decay. Options require an options-specific model.
If your main trading is options buying/selling, please do not purchase.
________________________________________
MARAL in One Screenshot: How the System Thinks (XAUUSD Example).. Live chart examples and screenshots i will share TradingView posts for the below below example.
MARAL is not a “BUY/SELL arrow” indicator.
It is an Execution Intelligence Engine that gives you:
1. Direction (Bias)
2. Permission (Score + Filters)
3. Execution Guidance (Hold / Exit / Wait)
This is exactly why MARAL is premium: it tells you when to trade and when NOT to trade.
________________________________________
1) Direction Engine: Multi-Timeframe Bias (Trade ONLY with the flow)
In your screenshot, the info panel clearly shows:
• Last Signal: LONG
• Direction: Bullish
• H1 Bias: Bullish
• H4 Bias: Bullish
• Daily Bias: Bullish
• Structure: Bull Struct
✅ Meaning: MARAL is not randomly buying. It first confirms the market is aligned across timeframes, then it allows only LONG execution logic.
This alone filters out a huge number of low-quality trades.
________________________________________
2) Strength & Volatility Filter: “Is the move healthy or dangerous?”
From the same panel:
✅ Meaning: MARAL is measuring whether the move has real trend strength, not just “green candles”.
________________________________________
3) Score Engine: MARAL enters only when confirmations stack
This is the core premium layer:
✅ Meaning:
• MARAL gives a high-quality Long rating
• And it explicitly blocks shorts (“No-Trade”) even if a candle looks tempting.
So buyers understand: MARAL doesn’t overtrade. It filters.
________________________________________
4) Execution Board: The “Professional Dashboard” (why this is premium)
Your left panel says:
• TRADE STATUS: ✅ VALID
• MARKET PHASE: CONTINUATION
• TP PROBABILITY: HIGH
• OBSTACLE AHEAD: NO
• EXIT PRESSURE: LOW
• STRUCTURE: Bull Struct
• MOMENTUM HEALTH: STRONG
• RISK STATE: NORMAL
• ACTION: HOLD
✅ Meaning (simple for buyers):
MARAL is telling you:
“This is a continuation long. Probability is high. Risk is normal. Don’t panic. Hold the position.”
This is what most indicators never do. They give a signal and disappear.
MARAL stays with the trade and guides execution.
________________________________________
5) Signals on the chart: Why multiple BUY labels appear
You can see multiple BUY labels during the uptrend.
That is not “spam signals”. It’s continuation entries:
• After trend confirmation,
• MARAL allows re-entries/pyramiding opportunities only when the filters stay valid.
So the buyer sees:
✅ one system catching an entire move, not just one random entry.
________________________________________
6) The “WAIT” feature (this is a super-premium selling point)
On the right panel (Entry Checklist) you have:
• SETUP: WAIT

Ghost Scalp Protocol By [@Ash_TheTrader]
# 👻 GHOST SCALP PROTOCOL
### 💀 Stop Getting Trapped. Start Tracking the Banks.
Most retail traders lose because they enter exactly where institutions are exiting. They get caught in **"Stop Hunts"** and **"Fake-Outs."**
The **Ghost Scalp Protocol** is not just an indicator; it is a complete institutional trading system designed for **M1 & M5 Scalpers**. It combines **Smart Money Concepts (SMC)** with a **Physics-Based Momentum Engine ($p=mv$)** to detect high-probability reversals.
---
### ⚛️ THE LOGIC: 3-STAGE CONFIRMATION
This algorithm does not rely on lagging indicators. It uses a 3-step "Protocol" to validate every trade:
**1. THE GHOST TRAP (Liquidity Sweeps)**
* The script automatically draws "Ghost Lines" at key Swing Highs/Lows where retail Stop Losses are hiding.
* It waits for price to **sweep** these levels (Stop Hunt).
* **The Signal:** A Neon **Skull (☠️)** appears *only* if price aggressively rejects the level with high volume. This is the "Turtle Soup" pattern.
**2. THE PHYSICS ENGINE ($p = mv$)**
* Momentum is not just price speed; it is **Mass (Volume) x Velocity (Range)**.
* The dashboard calculates the "Force" of every candle.
* **The Signal:** An **Arrow (⬆/⬇)** appears when momentum surges **5x** above the average. This confirms the banks are pushing the move.
**3. BANK BIAS (Elasticity Filter)**
* Markets move like a rubber band.
* The script calculates a hidden "Fair Value" baseline.
* It creates a **Bias**: It only looks for Shorts in **PREMIUM (Shorting)** zones and Longs in **DISCOUNT (Accumulating)** zones.
---
### 📊 THE SMART DASHBOARD (HUD)
A futuristic, non-intrusive Heads-Up Display keeps you focused on the data that matters:
* **🏦 BANK BIAS:** Tells you if Institutions are likely **Accumulating** or **Shorting**.
* **📈 HTF TREND:** Automatically checks the **1-Hour Trend**. Don't fight the tide.
* **🚀 MOMENTUM:** Real-time Physics calculation.
* **Green Text:** Acceleration (Move is getting stronger).
* **Red Text:** Deceleration (Move is dying).
* **🌍 SESSION:** Shows active Bank Sessions (Tokyo, London, NY).
* **⚠️ OVERLAP ALERT:** Flashes GOLD when London & New York are open simultaneously (Peak Volatility).
---
### 🔥 STRATEGY: HOW TO TRADE
Use this checklist to execute high-probability scalps:
#### 📉 SHORT SETUP (SELL)
1. **Liquidity:** Wait for price to break above a **Red Ghost Line** (Sweep Highs).
2. **Signal:** Wait for the **Pink Skull ☠️** (Trap Detected).
3. **Confluence:**
* Dashboard Bias says: **"SHORTING"**
* HTF Trend says: **"BEARISH 📉"** (Optional but recommended).
4. **Entry:** On the Close of the Skull candle.
5. **Stop Loss:** Just above the wick swing high.
#### 📈 LONG SETUP (BUY)
1. **Liquidity:** Wait for price to break below a **Blue Ghost Line** (Sweep Lows).
2. **Signal:** Wait for the **Blue Skull ☠️** (Trap Detected).
3. **Confluence:**
* Dashboard Bias says: **"ACCUMULATING"**
* HTF Trend says: **"BULLISH 📈"** (Optional but recommended).
4. **Entry:** On the Close of the Skull candle.
5. **Stop Loss:** Just below the wick swing low.
---
### 🏆 RECOMMENDED PAIRS & TIMEFRAMES
* **⚡ Best Timeframes:**
* **1 Minute (M1):** For aggressive "Sniper" entries (High Frequency).
* **5 Minute (M5):** The "Gold Standard" for balanced Scalping.
* **15 Minute (M15):** Safer, higher win-rate Day Trading.
* **💎 Best Assets:**
* **Gold (XAUUSD):** Highly effective on liquidity sweeps.
* **Indices:** US100 (Nasdaq), US30 (Dow Jones).
* **Crypto:** BTCUSD, ETHUSD (High volatility).
* **Forex:** GBPUSD, EURUSD (London/NY Session).
---
### 🛠️ SETTINGS & CUSTOMIZATION
* **Surge Factor:** Default is **5.0x**. Lower this to 3.0 if you want more aggressive Momentum Arrows.
* **Smart Sessions:** Automatically converts to **New York Time** (EST) regardless of your location. No more time zone math.
* **Visuals:** Designed with "Ghost Glow" technology—97% transparent backgrounds that look classy and don't clutter your chart.

Gann Volume Swing (GVS)## **Gann Volume Swing (GVS) Indicator**
*Professional Hybrid Volume-Gann Reversal Detector*
### **Core Concept & Purpose**
The Gann Volume Swing (GVS) indicator is a sophisticated trading tool designed to identify high-probability reversal points by integrating three key market dimensions: **volume dynamics**, **geometric price levels**, and **momentum confirmation**. Developed for serious technical traders, GVS addresses the common challenge of distinguishing meaningful breakouts/reversals from temporary noise.
The indicator operates on the principle that **significant volume expansions** at **precise geometric support/resistance levels** (derived from Gann theory) often precede substantial price movements. By combining these elements with traditional momentum filters (RSI, MACD), GVS provides a multi-factor approach to market timing.
### **Theoretical Foundation**
The methodology synthesizes:
1. **Wyckoff's Volume-Price Relationship**: Volume precedes and confirms price action
2. **Gann's Geometric Trading**: Price moves in predictable angular patterns from swing points
3. **Modern Momentum Filters**: Additional confirmation from established oscillators
This creates a robust framework that respects both classical technical analysis and contemporary trading psychology.

## **TECHNICAL ARCHITECTURE**
### **1. Volume Engine Module**
```
Inputs:
• Volume MA Period (20): Smoothing window for volume baseline
• Volume Multiplier (2.0): Threshold for "abnormal" volume detection
Calculation Logic:
Current Volume > AND
Current Volume >
Output: Boolean flag signaling institutional-grade participation
```
### **2. Gann Geometry Module**
```
Pivot Detection:
• Swing Highs: PivotHigh(25,25) - Identifies significant peaks
• Swing Lows: PivotLow(25,25) - Identifies significant troughs
Line Generation:
• 1x1 Lines: Base angular lines from pivots (45-degree equivalents)
• 2x1 Lines: Secondary steeper/flatter lines (dynamic angles)
Key Parameter:
• Gann Sensitivity (0.5): Controls line steepness (0.1=flat, 1.0=steep)
```
### **3. Signal Generation Logic**
```
Long Signal =
+ + + +
Short Signal =
+ + + +
Anti-Whipsaw Protection:
• 5-bar cooldown between same-direction signals
• Proximity threshold: 0.5×ATR from Gann lines
```
### **4. Visualization System**
```
Primary Elements:
• Real-time Gann lines (4 colors, 2 styles)
• Signal markers (▲/▼ triangles)
• Bar coloring (lime/red highlights)
Display Control:

Liquidity Sentiment Profile | LUPENIndicator Guide: Liquidity Sentiment Profile (LSP).
What is the LSP?
The Liquidity Sentiment Profile (LSP) is a "Next-Generation" oscillator designed to look beyond simple price action. While standard indicators (like RSI or MACD) primarily focus on where a candle closes, the LSP analyzes the micro-structure of the entire candle—specifically the relationship between the candle's Body, its Wicks (Shadows), and the Volume.
The Core Philosophy:
Wicks tell the truth: A long lower wick indicates that sellers pushed the price down, but buyers aggressively absorbed that liquidity and pushed it back up.
That is hidden bullish strength.
Volume validates intent: A price move with low volume is noise. A price move (or wick rejection) with high volume is a commitment by institutional players.
The LSP calculates a "Sentiment Score" between -100 and +100 based on these factors.
How to Read the Visuals
The Colors (Intensity)
color: Light Green - Bullish Acceleration. Buyers are in control, and momentum is increasing. This is the ideal time to be in a Long trade.
color: Dark Green - Bullish Deceleration. Buyers are still in control (price is likely rising), but the momentum is fading. This is a warning sign to tighten stop-losses or take profits.
color: Light Red - Bearish Acceleration. Sellers are dominating, and panic is increasing. This is the ideal time to be Short.
color: Dark Red - Bearish Deceleration. Sellers are still in control, but the downward pressure is exhausted. Be careful with new short positions.
The Lines & Fills
The Main Line: The actual LSP sentiment value.
The Yellow Signal Line: A smoothed average of the sentiment.
The Core Fill: The colored area between the Main Line and the Signal Line. When this area "glows", the trend is strong. When it dims (Dark), the trend is weak. Bearish Deceleration. Sellers are still in control, but the downward pressure is exhausted. Be careful with new short positions.
The Lines & Fills
The Main Line: The actual LSP sentiment value.
The Yellow Signal Line: A smoothed average of the sentiment.
The Core Fill: The colored area between the Main Line and the Signal Line. When this area "glows" (Neon), the trend is strong. When it dims (Dark), the trend is weak.
How to Use It (Trading Strategies)
Strategy A: The "Power Cross" (Trend Entry)
Use this for entering trends when the market wakes up.
Long Entry: Wait for the LSP line to cross ABOVE the Yellow Signal Line.
Confirmation: The fill color must turn Neon Green.
Short Entry: Wait for the LSP line to cross BELOW the Yellow Signal Line.
Confirmation: The fill color must turn Neon Red.
Strategy B: The "Absorption" Play (Reversals)
This is where the LSP shines. It detects when liquidity is being absorbed before price turns.
Bullish Absorption: The Price makes a Lower Low, but the LSP makes a Higher Low. This happens because the LSP detects the Volume on the Lower Wicks (buyers absorbing selling pressure). This is a high-probability reversal signal.
Bearish Absorption: The Price makes a Higher High, but the LSP makes a Lower High. The volume on the Upper Wicks suggests sellers are absorbing the buy orders.
Strategy C: The "Dimming" Exit (Risk Management)
Don't wait for the price to crash to exit a trade.
If you are in a Long trade (Neon Green) and the color instantly shifts to Dark Green, it means the "fuel" is running out. Consider taking partial profits or moving your Stop Loss to break even.
Standard oscillators (like RSI) often give false signals during strong trends (showing "Overbought" while price keeps going up). The LSP avoids this because it weights Volume and Wicks. If price goes up and volume increases, the LSP stays Neon Green, telling you the move is genuine, not just overextended.
