Smarter Money Concepts - FVGs [PhenLabs]📊 Smarter Money Concepts - FVGs
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
Smarter Money Concepts - FVGs is a sophisticated indicator designed to identify and track Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) in price action. These gaps represent market inefficiencies where price moves quickly, creating imbalances that often attract subsequent price action for mitigation. By highlighting these key areas, traders can identify potential zones for reversals, continuations, and price targets.
The indicator employs volume filtering ideology to highlight only the most significant FVGs, reducing noise and focusing on gaps formed during periods of higher relative volume. This combination of price structure analysis and volume confirmation provides traders with high-probability areas of interest that institutional smart money may target during future price movements.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Volume-Filtered Gap Detection : Eliminates low-significance FVGs by requiring a minimum volume threshold, focusing only on gaps formed with institutional participation
Equilibrium Line Visualization : Displays the midpoint of each gap as a potential precision target for trades
Automated Gap Mitigation Tracking : Monitors when price revisits and mitigates gaps, automatically managing visual elements
Time-Based Gap Management : Intelligently filters gaps based on a configurable timeframe, maintaining chart clarity
Dual Direction Analysis : Simultaneously tracks both bullish and bearish gaps, providing a complete market structure view
Memory-Optimized Design : Implements efficient memory management for smooth chart performance even with numerous FVGs
🔧 Core Components
Fair Value Gap Detection : Identifies price inefficiencies where the current candle’s low is higher than the previous candle’s high (bearish FVG) or where the current candle’s high is lower than the previous candle’s low (bullish FVG).
Volume Filtering Mechanism : Calculates relative volume compared to a moving average to qualify only gaps formed during significant market activity.
Mitigation Tracking : Continuously monitors price action to detect when gaps get filled, with options to either hide or maintain visual representation of mitigated gaps.
🔥 Key Features
Customizable Gap Display : Toggle visibility of bullish and bearish gaps independently to focus on your preferred market direction
Volume Threshold Control : Adjust the minimum volume ratio required for gap qualification, allowing fine-tuning between sensitivity and significance
Flexible Mitigation Methods : Choose between “Wick” or “Close” methods for determining when a gap has been mitigated, adapting to different trading styles
Visual Customization : Full control over colors, transparency, and style of gap boxes and equilibrium lines
🎨 Visualization
Gap Boxes : Rectangular highlights showing the exact price range of each Fair Value Gap. Bullish gaps indicate potential upward price targets, while bearish gaps show potential downward targets.
Equilibrium Lines : Dotted lines running through the center of each gap, representing the mathematical midpoint that often serves as a precision target for price movement.
📖 Usage Guidelines
General Settings
Days to Analyze : Default: 15, Range: 1-100. Controls how many days of historical gaps to display, balancing between comprehensive analysis and chart clarity
Visual Settings
Bull Color : Default:(#596fd33f). Color for bullish Fair Value Gaps, typically using high transparency for clear chart visibility
Bear Color : Default:(#d3454575). Color for bearish Fair Value Gaps, typically using high transparency for clear chart visibility
Equilibrium Line : Default: Enabled. Toggles visibility of the center equilibrium line for each FVG
Eq. Line Color : Default: Black with 99% transparency. Sets the color of equilibrium lines, usually kept subtle to avoid chart clutter
Eq. Line Style : Default: Dotted, Options: Dotted, Solid, Dashed. Determines the line style for equilibrium lines
Mitigation Settings
Mitigation Method : Default: Wick, Options: Wick, Close. Determines how gap mitigation is calculated - “Wick” uses high/low values while “Close” uses open/close values for more conservative mitigation criteria
Hide Mitigated : Default: Enabled. When enabled, gaps become transparent once mitigated, reducing visual clutter while maintaining historical context
Volume Filter
Volume Filter : Default: Enabled. When enabled, only shows gaps formed with significant volume relative to recent average
Min Ratio : Default: 1.5, Range: 0.1-10.0. Minimum volume ratio compared to average required to display an FVG; higher values filter out more gaps
Periods : Default: 15, Range: 5-50. Number of periods used to calculate the average volume baseline
✅ Best Use Cases
Identifying potential reversal zones where price may react after extended moves
Finding precise targets for take-profit placement in trend-following strategies
Detecting institutional interest areas for potential breakout or breakdown confirmations
Plotting significant support and resistance zones based on structural imbalances
Developing fade strategies at key market structure points
Confirming trade entries when price approaches significant unfilled gaps
⚠️ Limitations
Works best on higher timeframes where gaps reflect more significant market inefficiencies
Very choppy or ranging markets may produce small gaps with limited predictive value
Volume filtering depends on accurate volume data, which may be less reliable for some symbols
Performance may be affected when displaying a very large number of historical gaps
Some gaps may never be fully mitigated, particularly in strongly trending markets
💡 What Makes This Unique
Volume Intelligence : Unlike basic FVG indicators, this script incorporates volume analysis to identify the most significant structural imbalances, focusing on quality over quantity.
Visual Clarity Management : Automatic handling of mitigated gaps and memory management ensures your chart remains clean and informative even over extended analysis periods.
Dual-Direction Comprehensive Analysis : Simultaneously tracks both bullish and bearish gaps, providing a complete market structure picture rather than forcing a directional bias.
🔬 How It Works
1. Gap Detection Process :
The indicator examines each candle in relation to previous candles, identifying when a gap forms between the low of candle and high of candle (bearish FVG) or between the high of candle and low of candle (bullish FVG). This specific candle relationship identifies true structural imbalances.
2. Volume Qualification :
For each potential gap, the algorithm calculates the relative volume compared to the configured period average. Only gaps formed with volume exceeding the minimum ratio threshold are displayed, ensuring focus on institutionally significant imbalances.
3. Equilibrium Calculation :
For each qualified gap, the script calculates the precise mathematical midpoint, which becomes the equilibrium line - a key target that price often gravitates toward during mitigation attempts.
4. Mitigation Tracking :
The indicator continuously monitors price action against existing gaps, determining mitigation based on the selected method (wick or close). When price reaches the equilibrium point, the gap is considered mitigated and can be visually updated accordingly.
💡 Note:
Fair Value Gaps represent market inefficiencies that often, but not always, get filled. Use this indicator as part of a complete trading strategy rather than as a standalone system. The most valuable signals typically come from combining FVG analysis with other confirmatory indicators and overall market context. For optimal results, start with the default settings and gradually adjust parameters to match your specific trading timeframe and style.
Today, Previous Day, and Two Days Ago LevelsOverview
This indicator plots key price levels from the current trading day, the previous day, and two days ago directly on your chart. Designed for traders who rely on daily price action, it displays the high, low, and close of the previous day, as well as the high and low of two days ago, alongside the developing high and low of the current day. Each level is drawn as a horizontal line with customizable visibility and distinct colors for easy identification.
Features
Today’s Levels: Shows the current day’s high (green) and low (red) as they develop during the regular trading session (9:30 AM–4:00 PM EDT).
Previous Day Levels: Plots the high (blue), low (light blue), and close (purple) of the most recent completed trading day, updating after 4:00 PM EDT.
Two Days Ago Levels: Displays the high (orange) and low (light orange) from two trading days prior.
Customizable Display: Toggle each level on or off via input settings to focus on the data that matters to you.
Session-Based Accuracy: Uses the regular U.S. equity session (9:30 AM–4:00 PM EDT) to ensure levels reflect standard trading hours.
How It Works
The indicator fetches daily price data based on the regular trading session (9:30 AM–4:00 PM EDT, Monday–Friday). After the session closes at 4:00 PM EDT, the "Previous Day" levels shift to reflect the just-completed day’s high, low, and close, while "Two Days Ago" levels update to the day before that. This makes it ideal for pre-market analysis the next morning, ensuring you’re always working with the latest completed session data.
Usage
Intraday Trading: Use on 1-minute, 5-minute, or 15-minute charts to monitor key levels during the day or in pre-market.
Daily Analysis: View on daily charts to assess historical levels, with updates reflecting the latest session after 4:00 PM EDT.
Support/Resistance: Leverage these levels as potential support and resistance zones for your trading strategy.
Limitations
Timeframe Consistency: Works best on intraday charts (e.g., 1-min, 5-min, 15-min, 30-min, 60-min). On higher timeframes (e.g. daily , weekly, monthly), the levels may not align as expected due to the daily session focus.
Securities Traded: Optimized for U.S. equities with a 9:30 AM–4:00 PM EDT session (e.g., stocks like SPY, AAPL). May not work correctly for:
Futures or Forex: These markets have different session hours (e.g., 5:00 PM EDT close for some futures), which could misalign the levels.
Non-U.S. Markets: Securities with different trading hours (e.g., European or Asian exchanges) won’t match the hardcoded EDT session.
Time Zone Dependency: Assumes a UTC-4 (EDT) timezone. If your chart or TradingView settings use a different timezone (e.g., EST, UTC), the session close detection (4:00 PM EDT) may be off.
Extended Hours: Excludes pre-market and after-hours data, focusing only on regular session prices. If you need extended hours, this indicator won’t reflect those levels.

Original Gann Swing Chart Rules [AlgoFuego]🔵 Original Gann Swing Chart Rules
An advanced indicator built on W.D. Gann’s original rules, enhanced with innovative mechanical trend-following methods.
🔹 Description
This indicator functions by balancing short-term adaptability with long-term trend analysis.
The indicator incorporates Gann’s principles alongside mechanical trend-following techniques to offer a structured method for analyzing trends and detecting potential market reversals.
Golden Rule: Non-trend bars are excluded from analysis, and each new bar is compared with the previous trend bar, it highlights significant swing points with greater clarity.
🔸 The core concept behind the golden rule on which this indicator is built.
The person watching the tide coming, wanting to pinpoint the exact spot that signals the high tide, places a stick in the sand at the points where the incoming waves reach until the stick reaches a position where the waves no longer rise, and eventually recedes enough to show that the tide has shifted.
This method is effective for monitoring and identifying tides and floods in the stock market.
🔸Rule 1: The trend bar is everything.
→It is a bar that forms a new high, low, or both.
🔸Rule 2: The professional traders track new highs and lows.
🔸Rule 3: The hidden bar is nothing.
→It is a bar that does not form a new high, low, or both.
🔸Rule 4: The sea has a wavy nature, and the market as well.
🔸Rule 5: The slope is the immediate direction of the swing.
Downward slope
→The downslope is the descending slope of a swing, shows a decline, reflecting a bearish price trend.
Upward slope
→The upslope is the ascending slope of a swing, shows an incline, reflecting a bullish price trend.
🔸Rule 6: The start and end of the movement are the swing points.
→The lowest or highest price of the last bar in the direction of the slope represents the swing point after the slopes direction changes.
Valley
→It is the lowest price of the last bar in a downslope before the market turns to a upslope.
End=> Downward slope and Start=> Upward slope
Peak
→It is the highest price of the last bar in a upslope before the market turns to an downslope.
End=> Upward slope and Start=> Downward slope
🔸Rule 7: The Golden Rule: Ignore all no-trend bars and compare the new bar with the previous trend bar.
→Applying the golden rule in upward slope
→Applying the golden rule in downward slope
🔸 Related content: Personal words of W.D Gann from the book Wall Street Stock Selector.
→"This was only one month's reaction the same as March 1925. The market held in a dull narrow range for about 2 months while accumulation was taking place and in June the main trend turned up again."
→The beginning of the main trend and the formation of the Valley.
→The beginning of the main trend and the formation of the Peak.
🔸 Rule 8: The Closing Price of the Bar to Understand Movement Direction.
Sequence is important
→ Downward bar
→ Upward bar
🔸 Outside Bar Rules
→Explanation of rules and calculations.
🔸 How does a trend start?
Upward trend
Trend change from Downward to Upward.
Prices must take out the nearest 'Peak' and the Trend was previously Downward.
A breakout above the previous peak signals a bullish reversal.
→ Model 1 - Dropping Valley Reversal
The market forms a dropping valley, followed by a breakout above the previous peak.
→ Model 2 - Equal Valley Reversal
The market forms an equal valley, followed by a breakout above the previous peak.
→ Model 3 - Rising Valley Reversal
The market forms a rising valley, followed by a breakout above the previous peak.
Downward trend
Trend change from Upward to Downward.
Prices must take out the nearest ‘Valley' and the Trend was previously Upward.
A breakdown below the previous valley signals a bearish reversal.
→ Model 1 - Rising Peak Reversal
The market forms a rising peak, followed by a breakdown below the previous valley.
→ Model 2 - Equal Peak Reversal
The market forms an equal peak, followed by a breakdown below the previous valley.
→ Model 3 - Dropping Peak Reversal
The market forms a dropping peak, followed by a breakdown below the previous valley.
🔸 The fractal nature of markets
Rising wave
→ The rising wave is the entire bull market between turning points
High point : When the Main trend turns from upward to downward, the peak of the primary trend is formed.
Dropping wave
→ The Dropping wave is the entire bear market between turning points.
Low point : When the Main trend turns from downward to upward, the primary trend valley is formed.

yatsThis is a helper indicator for "yats" (Yet Another Trading Strategy).
This is a grouping of several indicators in one to help with a very basic trend following strategy. In order to utilize this indicator, it is best to have your chart set to a Line chart.
How to use:
This is a basic trend strategy in which the trader will enter or reverse their position on the break of the trend.
With the chart set to line and the source set to close, a basic line with peaks and valleys is displayed.
When the line peaks, then retreats, this is a potential setup for a long position. The trader is to wait for a valley (lower point) to be formed and then for the previous peak to be broken.
The timeframe continuity labels in the lower right of the chart help to ensure the position taken is in line with the higher timeframe trend.
Example scenario (long):
Chart is set to 1H timeframe. Timeframe continuity indicator will have labels for 1H, 4H, Day, WK, MN, and QTR. Chart shows a peak at a close price of 5 then the next bar sets a valley at a close price of 4.
Next bar forms and sets a close price of 6. Timeframe continuity labels are green for 1H, 4H, Day, and WK. (At least three higher timeframes should match the direction of the desired trade.)
This is a signal to go long as the previous peak was broken and timeframe continuity is in the direction
of the trade (long). Initial conservative stoploss should be placed at the previous valley (4). A wider stoploss could be placed at the low created when the close was 4. This is made visible by the default red line
when Candle Highs and Lows plots are turned on. Stoploss is then trailed up either by each subsequent higher low, OR with each subsequent dip as price moves higher.
A target can be set, but is not an integral part of this strategy.
Features:
Full Timeframe Continuity:
In the lower right corner of the chart will be indicators for timeframes greater than or equal to the chart timeframe.
Each one will be Red, Green, or White to indicate down, up, or flat. This provides you with the direction of the higher timeframes in real time, before the bar has closed.
Potential Support/Resistance Points:
The indicator plots horizontal rays for the previous Day, Week, and Month for the High, Low, and Close. Day = Orange, Week = White, Month = Purple. High and Low are solid lines while Close is a dashed line.
This provides the trader with potential pivot points based on higher timeframe high, low, and close prices. The horizontal rays will automatically move to the right at the start of the newest day, week, or month.
Candle Highs and Lows:
Since the chart should be set to Line instead of Candles or Bars, this indicator provides plots that follow the Highs (Green) and Lows (Red) of each 'bar' of the chart timeframe. This has been made configurable
so these lines can be turned off or edited in the settings for those who do not want them on the chart or just want them to look different.
IBD Style Relative Strength RatingWelcome to the IBD Style Relative Strength Rating Indicator!
A powerful tool inspired by Investor's Business Daily (IBD), this indicator helps traders evaluate stock performance relative to a benchmark. It’s perfect for identifying strong or weak stocks compared to the broader market, specifically the S&P 500 (SPY). Whether you're a beginner or an experienced investor, this guide will walk you through its features and key concepts, including the RS Line and RS Rating, and how legendary trader Mark Minervini uses similar tools.
Understanding the RS Line & RS Rating
RS Line (Relative Strength Line)
A visual representation of how a stock’s price performs relative to SPY.
Calculated by dividing the stock’s closing price by SPY’s closing price and multiplying by 100.
Rising RS Line → Stock is outperforming SPY.
Falling RS Line → Stock is underperforming SPY.
Helps identify strength or weakness compared to the market.
RS Rating
A numerical score (1-99) measuring stock performance over 252 trading days (1 year) relative to SPY.
Above 80 → Top 20% of performers.
Above 90 → Top 10% (ideal for growth investors).
Weighted average of stock’s price changes over 63, 126, 189, and 252 days.
Key Features Explained
RS Line Color Mode:
Static (default white) or Dynamic (green when rising, red when falling) for quick trend identification.

Tips for Crypto Traders (Measuring Altcoins vs. Bitcoin or Total Market Cap)
If trading cryptocurrencies, this indicator can measure altcoins vs. Bitcoin (BTC) or the total crypto market cap (TOTAL):
Comparative Symbol Setup:
Set Comparative Symbol to BTCUSD to compare an altcoin (e.g., ETHUSD) against Bitcoin.
Rising RS Line → The altcoin is outperforming Bitcoin (bullish signal).
Use TOTAL (crypto market cap index) to assess an altcoin’s strength against the total market.
High RS Rating suggests the altcoin is a market leader.
Adjust Look-back Periods:
Crypto markets are volatile, so reduce Look-back for New Highs/Lows to 50-100 bars (about 2-4 months) for shorter-term trends.
Fine-tune based on your trading strategy.
New Highs and Lows:
Watch for new RS Line highs (blue dots) to identify altcoins breaking out against BTC or TOTAL (momentum trading).
New lows (red dots) may signal weakening altcoins to avoid.
RS Rating Interpretation:
Above 80 against BTC or TOTAL → The altcoin is a strong performer.
This aligns with Minervini’s growth strategy for stocks.
Color Dynamics:
Use Dynamic RS Line Color (green for rising, red for falling) to quickly spot altcoin trends against BTC or TOTAL.
Crypto data may have gaps—test indicator settings on different timeframes (e.g., 1-hour or 4-hour charts).
Tips for Getting Started
Apply the Indicator to a stock chart and set Comparative Symbol to SPY.
Watch the RS Line:
If trending upward with new highs and RS Rating > 80, it's a strong candidate.
Use the RS Rating Table to check for trend consistency.
Adjust Opacity Settings for markers to balance visibility and clarity.

- Time-Saving: The indicator eliminates the need to switch between timeframes, speeding up the analysis and decision-making process.
- Visual Clarity: Visualizing candles from different timeframes on a single chart makes analysis more convenient and intuitive.
Example Use Cases:
1. Trend Trading: If a clear uptrend is visible on the daily timeframe and a correction is occurring on the hourly timeframe, you can look for buy opportunities near support levels.
2. Range Trading: If the price is moving sideways across all timeframes, you can use High and Low levels to trade from the boundaries of the range.
3. Identifying Reversal Points: If the price approaches a key resistance level on the higher timeframe and a bearish candle forms on the lower timeframe, this could be a signal to sell.
Conclusion:

Power Play Signal Indicator [Masky18]Power Play Signal Indicator
The Power Play Signal Indicator is a sophisticated custom trading strategy designed to identify high-probability breakout and breakdown opportunities by combining consolidation detection, trend alignment, volume analysis, and relative strength ranking. Unlike simple mashups of existing indicators, this script integrates multiple technical concepts into a cohesive strategy that helps traders capitalize on market momentum with precision.
What Makes This Indicator Unique?
The PowerPlay Signal Indicator is not just a combination of existing indicators; it is a custom-built strategy that uses original logic to filter out low-probability setups and focus on high-quality trading opportunities. Here’s how it works:
Consolidation Detection:
The script identifies consolidation zones by analyzing price action over a user-defined period (default: 6 bars). It calculates the high, low, and midpoint of the consolidation range and ensures the price stays within a specified percentage range (default: 13%).
Consolidations are classified as Tight, Loose, or Okay, helping traders gauge the strength of the potential breakout or breakdown.
Breakout & Breakdown Logic:
Breakouts and breakdowns are confirmed using a combination of:
Price Action: The script checks if the price closes above the consolidation high (breakout) or below the consolidation low (breakdown).
Volume Analysis: A significant volume spike (default: 20% increase) is required to confirm the move.
MACD & Moving Averages: The script uses MACD and moving averages (50-day and 200-day) to ensure the breakout/breakdown aligns with the prevailing trend.
Trend Alignment:
The script ensures trades are aligned with the long-term trend by using:
50-day SMA and 200-day SMA to confirm uptrends or downtrends.
150-day SMA as an additional filter to ensure the trend is strong.
52-week high/low conditions to ensure the price is in a favorable position relative to its historical range.
Relative Strength Ranking:
The script compares the asset’s performance against a benchmark asset (e.g., SPY) to ensure it is outperforming the market. This is done using a customizable Relative Strength (RS) Threshold (default: 70).
Golden Candle Signals:
For high-probability setups, the script identifies Golden Candles—strong breakout or breakdown candles with:
Large price movement (default: 7.5% to 12.5% candle size).
High volume (default: 2x the average consolidation volume).
Alignment with MACD and moving averages.
Risk Management:
The script provides stop loss, trailing stop, and take profit levels based on:
ATR (Average True Range): Dynamic stop loss levels are calculated using ATR (default: 14-period ATR with a 2x multiplier).
Trailing Stop Percentage: User-defined trailing stop (default: 2%).
Take Profit Percentage: User-defined take profit (default: 5%).
Performance Tracking:
The script includes a Performance Table that tracks:
Total breakouts and breakdowns.
Successful and failed trades.
Win rates for breakouts and breakdowns.
Golden candle signals.
How Does It Work?
The PowerPlay Signal Indicator combines the following key components to generate signals:
Consolidation Detection:
The script calculates the high, low, and midpoint of the consolidation range over a user-defined period.
It ensures the price stays within a specified percentage range (default: 13%) to confirm consolidation.
Breakout/Breakdown Confirmation:
A breakout is confirmed when:
The price closes above the consolidation high.
Volume increases by at least 20%.
MACD is positive and above the signal line.
The price is above the 50-day and 200-day SMAs.
A breakdown is confirmed when:
The price closes below the consolidation low.
Volume increases by at least 20%.
MACD is negative and below the signal line.
The price is below the 50-day and 200-day SMAs.

Turtle Soup ICT Strategy [TradingFinder] FVG + CHoCH/CSD🔵 Introduction
The ICT Turtle Soup trading setup, designed in the ICT style, operates by hunting or sweeping liquidity zones to exploit false breakouts and failed breakouts in key liquidity Zones, such as recent highs, lows, or major support and resistance levels.
This setup identifies moments when the price breaches these liquidity zones, triggering stop orders placed (Stop Hunt) by other traders, and then quickly reverses direction. These movements are often associated with liquidity sweeps that create temporary market imbalances.
The reversal is typically confirmed by one of three structural shifts : a Market Structure Shift (MSS), a Change of Character (CHoCH), or a break of the Change in State of Delivery (CISD). Each of these structural shifts provides a reliable signal to interpret market intent and align trading decisions with the expected price movement. After the structural shift, the price frequently pullback to a Fair Value Gap (FVG), offering a precise entry point for trades.
By integrating key concepts such as liquidity, liquidity sweeps, stop order activation, structural shifts (MSS, CHoCH, CISD), and price imbalances, the ICT Turtle Soup setup enables traders to identify reversal points and key entry zones with high accuracy.
This strategy is highly versatile, making it applicable across markets such as forex, stocks, cryptocurrencies, and futures. It offers traders a robust and systematic approach to understanding price movements and optimizing their trading strategies
🟣 Bullish and Bearish Setups
Bullish Setup : The price first sweeps below a Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) zone, then reverses upward after forming an MSS or CHoCH, and finally pulls back to an FVG, creating a buying opportunity.
Bearish Setup : The price first sweeps above a Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) zone, then reverses downward after forming an MSS or CHoCH, and finally pulls back to an FVG, creating a selling opportunity.
🔵 How to Use
To effectively utilize the ICT Turtle Soup trading setup, begin by identifying key liquidity zones, such as recent highs, lows, or support and resistance levels, in higher timeframes.
Then, monitor lower timeframes for a Liquidity Sweep and confirmation of a Market Structure Shift (MSS) or Change of Character (CHoCH).
After the structural shift, the price typically pulls back to an FVG, offering an optimal trade entry point. Below, the bullish and bearish setups are explained in detail.
🟣 Bullish Turtle Soup Setup
Identify Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) : In a higher timeframe (e.g., 1-hour or 4-hour), identify recent price lows or support levels that serve as SSL zones, typically the location of stop-loss orders for traders.
Observe a Liquidity Sweep : On a lower timeframe (e.g., 15-minute or 30-minute), the price must move below one of these liquidity zones and then reverse. This movement indicates a liquidity sweep.
Confirm Market Structure Shift : After the price reversal, look for a structural shift (MSS or CHoCH) indicated by the formation of a Higher Low (HL) and Higher High (HH).
Enter the Trade : Once the structural shift is confirmed, the price typically pulls back to an FVG. Enter a buy trade in this zone, set a stop-loss slightly below the recent low, and target Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) in the higher timeframe for profit.
🟣 Bearish Turtle Soup Setup
Identify Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) : In a higher timeframe, identify recent price highs or resistance levels that serve as BSL zones, typically the location of stop-loss orders for traders.
Observe a Liquidity Sweep : On a lower timeframe, the price must move above one of these liquidity zones and then reverse. This movement indicates a liquidity sweep.
Confirm Market Structure Shift : After the price reversal, look for a structural shift (MSS or CHoCH) indicated by the formation of a Lower High (LH) and Lower Low (LL).
Enter the Trade : Once the structural shift is confirmed, the price typically pulls back to an FVG. Enter a sell trade in this zone, set a stop-loss slightly above the recent high, and target Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) in the higher timeframe for profit.
🔵 Settings
Higher TimeFrame Levels : This setting allows you to specify the higher timeframe (e.g., 1-hour, 4-hour, or daily) for identifying key liquidity zones.
Swing period : You can set the swing detection period.
Max Swing Back Method : It is in two modes "All" and "Custom". If it is in "All" mode, it will check all swings, and if it is in "Custom" mode, it will check the swings to the extent you determine.
Max Swing Back : You can set the number of swings that will go back for checking.
FVG Length : Default is 120 Bar.
MSS Length : Default is 80 Bar.
FVG Filter : This refines the number of identified FVG areas based on a specified algorithm to focus on higher quality signals and reduce noise.
Types of FVG filter s:
Very Aggressive Filter: Adds a condition where, for an upward FVG, the last candle's highest price must exceed the middle candle's highest price, and for a downward FVG, the last candle's lowest price must be lower than the middle candle's lowest price. This minimally filters out FVGs.
Aggressive Filter: Builds on the Very Aggressive mode by ensuring the middle candle is not too small, filtering out more FVGs.
Defensive Filter: Adds criteria regarding the size and structure of the middle candle, requiring it to have a substantial body and specific polarity conditions, filtering out a significant number of FVGs.
Very Defensive Filter: Further refines filtering by ensuring the first and third candles are not small-bodied doji candles, retaining only the highest quality signals.
In the indicator settings, you can customize the visibility of various elements, including MSS, FVG, and HTF Levels. Additionally, the color of each element can be adjusted to match your preferences. This feature allows traders to tailor the chart display to their specific needs, enhancing focus on the key data relevant to their strategy.
🔵 Conclusion
The ICT Turtle Soup trading setup is a powerful tool in the ICT style, enabling traders to exploit false breakouts in key liquidity zones. By combining concepts of liquidity, liquidity sweeps, market structure shifts (MSS and CHoCH), and pullbacks to FVG, this setup helps traders identify precise reversal points and execute trades with reduced risk and increased accuracy.
With applications across various markets, including forex, stocks, crypto, and futures, and its customizable indicator settings, the ICT Turtle Soup setup is ideal for both beginner and advanced traders. By accurately identifying liquidity zones in higher timeframes and confirming structure shifts in lower timeframes, this setup provides a reliable strategy for navigating volatile market conditions.
Ultimately, success with this setup requires consistent practice, precise market analysis, and proper risk management, empowering traders to make smarter decisions and achieve their trading goals.
Adaptive Volatility-Scaled Oscillator [AVSO] (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Adaptive Volatility-Scaled Oscillator (AVSO) is a dynamic trading indicator that measures and visualizes volatility-adjusted market behavior. By scaling various metrics (such as volume, price changes, standard deviation, ATR, and Yang-Zhang volatility) and applying adaptive smoothing, AVSO helps traders identify market conditions where volatility deviates significantly from the norm.
This indicator uses standardized scaling (Z-Score logic) to highlight periods of abnormally high or low volatility relative to recent history. With gradient coloring and clear volatility zones, AVSO provides a visually intuitive way to analyze market volatility and adapt trading strategies accordingly.
█ How It Works
⚪ Scaling Metrics: The indicator scales user-selected metrics (e.g., volume, ATR, standard deviation) relative to the market and price, providing a standardized volatility measure.
⚪ Z-Score Standardization: The scaled metric is normalized using a Z-Score to measure how far current volatility deviates from its recent mean.
Positive Z-Score: Above-average volatility.
Negative Z-Score: Below-average volatility.
⚪ Adaptive Smoothing: An Adaptive EMA smooths the Z-Score, dynamically adjusting its length based on the strength of the volatility. Stronger deviations result in shorter smoothing, increasing responsiveness.
█ Unique Feature: Yang-Zhang Volatility
The Yang-Zhang volatility estimator sets this indicator apart by providing a more robust and accurate measure of volatility compared to traditional methods like ATR or standard deviation.
⚪ What Makes Yang-Zhang Volatility Unique?
Comprehensive Calculation: It combines overnight price gaps (log returns from the previous close to the current open) and intraday price movements (high, low, and close).
Accurate for Gapped Markets: Traditional volatility measures can misrepresent price movement when significant gaps occur between sessions. Yang-Zhang accounts for these gaps, making it highly reliable for assets prone to overnight price jumps, such as stocks, cryptocurrencies, and futures.
Adaptable to Real Market Conditions : By including both close-to-open returns and intraday volatility, it provides a balanced and adaptive measure that captures the full volatility picture.
⚪ Why This Matters to Traders
Better Volatility Insights: Yang-Zhang offers a clearer view of true market volatility, especially in markets with price gaps or uneven trading sessions.
Improved Trade Timing: By identifying volatility spikes and calm periods more effectively, traders can time their entries and exits with greater confidence.
█ How to Use
Identify High and Low Volatility
A high Z-Score (>2) indicates significant market volatility. This can signal momentum-driven moves, breakouts, or areas of increased risk.
A low Z-Score (<-2) suggests low volatility or a calm market environment. This often occurs before a potential breakout or reversal.
Trade Signals
High Volatility Zones (background highlight): Monitor for potential breakouts, trend continuations, or reversals.
Low Volatility Zones: Anticipate range-bound conditions or upcoming volatility spikes.
█ Settings
Source: Select the price source for scaling calculations (close, high, low, open).
Metric Measure: Choose the volatility measure:
Volume: Scales raw volume.
Close: Uses closing price changes.
Standard Deviation: Price dispersion.
ATR: Average True Range.
Yang: Yang-Zhang volatility estimate.
Bars to Analyze: Number of historical bars used to calculate the mean and standard deviation of the scaled metric.
ATR / Standard Deviation Period: Lookback period for ATR or Standard Deviation calculation.
Yang Volatility Period: Period for the Yang-Zhang volatility estimator.
Smoothing Period: Base smoothing length for the adaptive smoothing line.

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

simple swing indicator-KTRNSE:NIFTY
1. Pivot High/Low as Lines:
Purpose: Identifies local peaks (pivot highs) and troughs (pivot lows) in price and draws horizontal lines at these levels.
How it Works:
A pivot high occurs when the price is higher than the surrounding bars (based on the pivotLength parameter).
A pivot low occurs when the price is lower than the surrounding bars.
These pivots are drawn as horizontal lines at the price level of the pivot.
Visualization:
Pivot High: A red horizontal line is drawn at the price level of the pivot high.
Pivot Low: A green horizontal line is drawn at the price level of the pivot low.
Example:
Imagine the price is trending up, and at some point, it forms a peak. The script identifies this peak as a pivot high and draws a red line at the price of that peak. Similarly, if the price forms a trough, the script will draw a green line at the low point.
2. Moving Averages (20-day and 50-day):
Purpose: Plots the 20-day and 50-day simple moving averages (SMA) on the chart.
How it Works:
The 20-day SMA smooths the closing price over the last 20 days.
The 50-day SMA smooths the closing price over the last 50 days.
These lines provide an overview of short-term and long-term price trends.
Visualization:
20-day SMA: A blue line showing the 20-day moving average.
50-day SMA: An orange line showing the 50-day moving average.
Example:
When the price is above both moving averages, it indicates an uptrend. If the price crosses below these averages, it might signal a downtrend.
3. Supertrend:
Purpose: The Supertrend is an indicator based on the Average True Range (ATR) and is used to track the market trend.
How it Works:
When the market is in an uptrend, the Supertrend line will be green.
When the market is in a downtrend, the Supertrend line will be red.
Visualization:
Uptrend: The Supertrend line will be plotted in green.
Downtrend: The Supertrend line will be plotted in red.
Example:
If the price is above the Supertrend, the market is considered to be in an uptrend, and if the price is below the Supertrend, the market is in a downtrend.
4. Momentum (Rate of Change):
Purpose: Measures the rate at which the price changes over a set period, showing if the momentum is positive or negative.
How it Works:
The Rate of Change (ROC) measures how much the price has changed over a certain number of periods (e.g., 14).
Positive ROC indicates upward momentum, and negative ROC indicates downward momentum.
Visualization:
Positive ROC: A purple line is plotted above the zero line.
Negative ROC: A purple line is plotted below the zero line.
Example:
If the ROC line is above zero, it means the price is increasing, suggesting bullish momentum. If the ROC is below zero, it indicates bearish momentum.
5. Volume:
Purpose: Displays the volume of traded assets, giving insight into the strength of price movements.
How it Works:
The script will color the volume bars based on whether the price closed higher or lower than the previous bar.
Green bars indicate bullish volume (closing price higher than the previous bar), and red bars indicate bearish volume (closing price lower than the previous bar).
Visualization:
Bullish Volume: Green volume bars when the price closes higher.
Bearish Volume: Red volume bars when the price closes lower.
Example:
If you see a green volume bar, it suggests that the market is participating in an uptrend, and the price has closed higher than the previous period. Red bars indicate a downtrend or selling pressure.
6. MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):
Purpose: The MACD is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of the price.
How it Works:
The MACD Line is the difference between the 12-period EMA (Exponential Moving Average) and the 26-period EMA.
The Signal Line is the 9-period EMA of the MACD Line.
The MACD Histogram shows the difference between the MACD line and the Signal line.
Visualization:
MACD Line: A blue line representing the difference between the 12-period and 26-period EMAs.
Signal Line: An orange line representing the 9-period EMA of the MACD line.
MACD Histogram: A red or green histogram that shows the difference between the MACD line and the Signal line.
Example:
When the MACD line crosses above the Signal line, it’s considered a bullish signal. When the MACD line crosses below the Signal line, it’s considered a bearish signal.
Full Chart Example:
Imagine you're looking at a price chart with all the indicators:
Pivot High/Low Lines are drawn as red and green horizontal lines.
20-day and 50-day SMAs are plotted as blue and orange lines, respectively.
Supertrend shows a green or red line indicating the trend.
Momentum (ROC) is shown as a purple line oscillating around zero.
Volume bars are green or red based on whether the close is higher or lower.
MACD appears as a blue line and orange line, with a red or green histogram showing the MACD vs. Signal line difference.
How the Indicators Work Together:
Trend Confirmation: If the price is above the Supertrend line and both SMAs are trending up, it indicates a strong bullish trend.
Momentum: If the ROC is positive and the MACD line is above the Signal line, it further confirms bullish momentum.
Volume: Increasing volume, especially with green bars, suggests that the trend is being supported by active participation.
By using these combined indicators, you can get a comprehensive view of the market's trend, momentum, and potential reversal points (via pivot highs and lows).

Advanced Physics Financial Indicator Each component represents a scientific theory and is applied to the price data in a way that reflects key principles from that theory.
Detailed Explanation
1. Fractal Geometry - High/Low Signal
Concept: Fractal geometry studies self-similar patterns that repeat at different scales. In markets, fractals can be used to detect recurring patterns or turning points.
Implementation: The script detects pivot highs and lows using ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow, representing local turning points in price. The fractalSignal is set to 1 for a pivot high, -1 for a pivot low, and 0 if there is no signal. This logic reflects the cyclical, self-similar nature of price movements.
Practical Use: This signal is useful for identifying local tops and bottoms, allowing traders to spot potential reversals or consolidation points where fractal patterns emerge.
2. Quantum Mechanics - Probabilistic Monte Carlo Simulation
Concept: Quantum mechanics introduces uncertainty and probability into systems, much like how future price movements are inherently uncertain. Monte Carlo simulations are used to model a range of possible outcomes based on random inputs.
Implementation: In this script, we simulate 100 random outcomes by generating a random number between -1 and 1 for each iteration. These random values are stored in an array, and the average of these values is calculated to represent the Quantum Signal.
Practical Use: This probabilistic signal provides a sense of randomness and uncertainty in the market, reflecting the possibility of price movement in either direction. It simulates the market’s chaotic nature by considering multiple possible outcomes and their average.
3. Thermodynamics - Efficiency Ratio Signal
Concept: Thermodynamics deals with energy efficiency and entropy in systems. The efficiency ratio in financial terms can be used to measure how efficiently the price is moving relative to volatility.
Implementation: The Efficiency Ratio is calculated as the absolute price change over n periods divided by the sum of absolute changes for each period within n. This ratio shows how much of the price movement is directional versus random, mimicking the concept of efficiency in thermodynamic systems.
Practical Use: A high efficiency ratio suggests that the market is trending smoothly (high efficiency), while a low ratio indicates choppy, non-directional movement (low efficiency, or high entropy).
4. Chaos Theory - ATR Signal
Concept: Chaos theory studies how complex systems are highly sensitive to initial conditions, leading to unpredictable behavior. In markets, chaotic price movements can often be captured through volatility indicators.
Implementation: The script uses a very long ATR period (1000) to reflect slow-moving chaos over time. The Chaos Signal is computed by measuring the deviation of the current price from its long-term average (SMA), normalized by ATR. This captures price deviations over time, hinting at chaotic market behavior.
Practical Use: The signal measures how far the price deviates from its long-term average, which can signal the degree of chaos or extreme behavior in the market. High deviations indicate chaotic or volatile conditions, while low deviations suggest stability.
5. Network Theory - Correlation with BTC
Concept: Network theory studies how different components within a system are interconnected. In markets, assets are often correlated, meaning that price movements in one asset can influence or be influenced by another.
Implementation: This indicator calculates the correlation between the asset’s price and the price of Bitcoin (BTC) over 30 periods. The Network Signal shows how connected the asset is to BTC, reflecting broader market dynamics.
Practical Use: In a highly correlated market, BTC can act as a leading indicator for other assets. A strong correlation with BTC might suggest that the asset is likely to move in line with Bitcoin, while a weak or negative correlation might indicate that the asset is moving independently.
6. String Theory - RSI & MACD Interaction
Concept: String theory attempts to unify the fundamental forces of nature into a single framework. In trading, we can view the RSI and MACD as interacting forces that provide insights into momentum and trend.
Implementation: The script calculates the RSI and MACD and combines them into a single signal. The formula for String Signal is (RSI - 50) / 100 + (MACD Line - Signal Line) / 100, normalizing both indicators to a scale where their contributions are additive. The RSI represents momentum, and MACD shows trend direction and strength.
Practical Use: This signal helps in detecting moments where momentum (RSI) and trend strength (MACD) align, giving a clearer picture of the asset's direction and overbought/oversold conditions. It unifies these two indicators to create a more holistic view of market behavior.
7. Fluid Dynamics - On-Balance Volume (OBV) Signal
Concept: Fluid dynamics studies how fluids move and flow. In markets, volume can be seen as a "flow" that drives price movement, much like how fluid dynamics describe the flow of liquids.
Implementation: The script uses the OBV (On-Balance Volume) indicator to track the cumulative flow of volume based on price changes. The signal is further normalized by its moving average to smooth out fluctuations and make it more reflective of price pressure over time.
Practical Use: The Fluid Signal shows how the flow of volume is driving price action. If the OBV rises significantly, it suggests that there is strong buying pressure, while a falling OBV indicates selling pressure. It’s analogous to how pressure builds in a fluid system.
8. Final Signal - Combining All Physics-Based Indicators
Implementation: Each of the seven physics-inspired signals is combined into a single Final Signal by averaging their values. This approach blends different market insights from various scientific domains, creating a comprehensive view of the market’s condition.
Practical Use: The final signal gives you a holistic, multi-dimensional view of the market by merging different perspectives (fractal behavior, quantum probability, efficiency, chaos, correlation, momentum/trend, and volume flow). This approach helps traders understand the market's dynamics from multiple angles, offering deeper insights than any single indicator.
9. Color Coding Based on Signal Extremes
Concept: The color of the final signal plot dynamically reflects whether the market is in an extreme state.
Implementation: The signal color is determined using percentiles. If the Final Signal is in the top 55th percentile of its range, the signal is green (bullish). If it is between the 45th and 55th percentiles, it is orange (neutral). If it falls below the 45th percentile, it is red (bearish).
Practical Use: This visual representation helps traders quickly identify the strength of the signal. Bullish conditions (green), neutral conditions (orange), and bearish conditions (red) are clearly distinguished, simplifying decision-making.
Pivot Data [QuantVue]The Pivot Data Indicator is designed to provide traders with valuable insights by identifying and analyzing pivot points on the price chart. It calculates both pivot highs and lows, then presents detailed statistics on the distance and time between these pivots.
a pivot point is defined as a specific point on the chart where the price either reaches a high or a low, with no bars higher or lower than it for a set number of bars on both sides (left and right). Essentially, it's a local high or low point, with the market moving in the opposite direction after the pivot forms.
For example:
A pivot high occurs when there are no bars with higher prices for a specified number of bars before and after that point.
A pivot low occurs when there are no bars with lower prices for the same number of bars on either side.
The number of bars to the left and right is adjustable via the Pivot Lookback Bars setting, allowing you to define how many bars are used to determine these pivot points.
Key features include:
Pivot Highs and Lows Identification: Automatically marks significant pivot highs and lows based on a user-defined lookback period, helping traders identify potential trend reversals or continuation points.
Prediction Labels: Provides forecasted pivot levels based on historical pivot price and time patterns, with options to show predictions for pivot highs, lows, or any pivot point.
Customizable Table Display: Displays a table summarizing important statistics, such as the average price percentage and the number of bars between pivots, along with the distance and time from the most recent pivot.
Traders can use this tool to map out potential levels of support and resistance based on historical data on pivot points.
Mxwll OptAlgoIntroducing the Mxwll OptAlgo

Predictive counter trend channels
Integrated trend following system and counter trend trading system
3-optimized strategies working cooperatively
Alerts and auto trading capabilities
How It Works
The Mxwll OptAlgo is comprised of three strategies:
Trend following using the OptAlgo
AI Reversal counter trend trading
Market crash shorting
Mxwll OptAlgo can be used for market analysis and trading similarly to any moving average.
The Mxwll OptAlgo MA is composed of two distinct moving averages to be used for trend following strategies.
M-Swift Average: The M-Swift Average accounts for volume and weights current price movement heavier than older price movement - allowing for improved responsiveness to current price movement. Volume is additionally weighted to the average to determine the significance of the price move and the resulting response of the M-Swift average. The M-Swift average consists of an HVWMA with OBV weighting. The HVWMA is used to create a moving average that adapts to volume, attempting to respond to significant price moves with high volume quicker and significant price moves with low volume slower - which might not be indicative of the start of a strong trend. To further reduce the M-Swift average’s responsiveness to weak volume price moves, the average is weighted with a normalized OBV. With this, the M-Swift moving average uses these two indicators to create a responsive moving average to significant price moves with high volume.
M-Smooth Average: The M-Smooth average consists of a McGinley average.
The McGinley Average is designed to address some of the limitations of traditional moving averages, such as the Simple Moving Average (SMA) or Exponential Moving Average (EMA), by reducing their lag and more accurately reflecting the market's true movements, especially during periods of volatility.
The McGinley Dynamic automatically adjusts its smoothing factor based on market speed. This means it responds more quickly to fast-moving markets and slows down during periods of consolidation, reducing the likelihood of false signals.
Unlike traditional moving averages that have a fixed period and can lag significantly behind fast-moving prices, the McGinley Dynamic adjusts dynamically, which helps to reduce lag and keeps the moving average closer to the price action.
The M-Smooth average uses bar low prices as a series during an uptrend - bar high prices as a series during a downtrend. A cross above the M-Smooth average indicates an uptrend, while a cross below the M-Smooth average indicates a downtrend. When this cross event occurs the M-Smooth average will “flip” from calculating on lows to highs, or highs to lows, contingent on the direction of the trend. The expectation is that a cross event of the M-Smooth average requires a substantial price move and, subsequent to this cross, price will continue to trend in the direction of the cross.
OptAlgo: The OptAlgo is simply the average of the M-Swift average and the M-smooth average.
By combining the M-Swift average and the M-Smooth average, the final output results in an average that slows during ranging markets and quickly adjusts to high volume breakouts and high volume reversals that initiate a trend. Due to the combination, the average will keep up quickly with a trend but remain at an appropriate distance from the current price - requiring a significant counter trend price move to change the direction of the OptAlgo average.
How does the OptAlgo follow trends?
The OptAlgo, comprising the two moving averages above, considers a cross event of the OptAlgo as a change in trend indication. The OptAlgo can be thought of as a moving average that significantly deviates from price. For price to cross the OptAlgo, a substantial price move must occur, and this event is treated as a "strong trend" or "new trend" indication.
M-RSI: The M-RSI is a fundamental component of the trend following strategy. Prior to a trend following “long” or “short” signal, the M-RSI must generate a signal in confluence with an OptAlgo cross event. When price crosses over the opt algo its color will change to green, indicating an uptrend. A buy signal will generate should the M-RSI provide a similar indication. The M-RSI portion of the trend following strategy is explained below. When price crosses under the opt algo its color will change to green, indicating a downtrend, and a sell signal becomes eligible. The foundational logic for using the Opt Algo as a trend following strategy is to treat crossovers/crossunders of the Opt Algo as strong trend indications, and trade them.
Steps to generate a trend following long signal:
1: M-RSI extends into oversold territory
2: Price crosses over the OptAlgo
Steps to generate a trend following short signal:
1: M-RSI extends into overbought territory
2: Price crosses under the OptAlgo
Our trend following strategy considers crossovers/crossunders at key market turning points as buy/sell opportunities. This strategy integrates the Mxwll RSI and Mxwll OptAlgo MA to determine entry points in anticipation of trend continuation.
The Mxwll RSI must move below/above the optimized OB/OS level prior to a cross event for a long/short signal to be considered. Entry points for this strategy are marked as "Long" or "Short".
At its core, the OptAlgo trend following strategy tries to enter a trend as close to the origin point as possible. As with any trend following strategy, price may not continue to move in the expected direction following entry, resulting in a losing trade.
AI Reversal Predictions
Our AI reversals strategy uses AI suggested turning points to capitalize on price reversions back towards the OptAlgo. These levels are considered by the AI on the selected days, and entry points at these levels are marked as "LLO" or "SLO".
How AI reversals work
Our AI reversals strategy attempts to trade price reversions back toward the Opt Algo.
These levels are calculated on specific days of the week, but can be traded any day. The internal algorithm determines which HTF highs/lows are most likely to function as tradable support/resistance levels. For instance, if Friday consists of heavy trading activity and high/low prices are tracked/recorded as causing significant support / resistance when tested in the future, the algorithm will consider support and resistance levels created on Friday as future tradable levels.
Additionally, if support/resistance levels created on Wednesday are recorded as weak or unpredictable when traded at in the future, the algorithm will not consider support/resistance levels generated on Thursday as tradable, and will not generate long or shit signals for these levels.
In the background, the AI reversals strategy is tracking success rates at multiple support and resistance levels. The best performers, if there are any, will be considered tradable. A “best performer” is calculated as the raw price move up to a threshold (i.e. 0.5%) that occurs subsequent to a test of the level.
Crash Short
The "Crash Short" strategy prioritizes short positions during retracements of a sell off. A simple yet effective strategy.
How Crash Short Works
The Crash Short strategy uses a customized momentum indicator (similar to ROC, MOM, etc.) to identify strong downside price moves. When our customized momentum indicator gives strong sell indications, the RSI is then referenced to identify an upside retracement. When the RSI exceeds a user-inputted level, a “Crash Short” signal is generated.
What is the customized momentum indicator?
The customized momentum indicator is the RoCR (Rate of Change Ratio). Instead of classic ROC, which is close - close , the RoCR divides the current close by a previous close. This formula creates a ratio that is more normalized than a simple price difference. This ratio is used to determine upside/downside momentum, with values greater than 1 indicating bullish momentum and values less than 1 indicating bearish momentum. The RoCR looks for deviating values to the downside (less than 1) to identify strong selling. From there, once the RSI crosses over an optimized level (such as 35), the indicator will print a sell signal titled "Crash Short".
Predictive Countertrend Channels
Our Predictive Countertrend Channel applies a two-stage recursive filter to smooth data using exponential decay and periodic adjustments for trend extraction. Our counter trend channels aren't directly used for signal processing; however, these channels provide useful visual cues for extended market moves.
Instructions for Optimization
Step 1: Optimize Mxwll OptAlgo
Begin by optimizing the M-Swift and M-Smooth averages for better signal accuracy.
This step simply finds better performing M-Swift and M-Smooth lookbacks. Again, if the strategy is unprofitable you will be notified and from there decide not to use the strategy.
Step 2: Optimize Mxwll RSI
Refine the Mxwll RSI settings to explore potential adjustments in smoothness and signal output. This step aims to evaluate whether these adjustments could improve the accuracy of the signals generated by Mxwll OptAlgo, while being mindful of any potential impacts.
Step 3: Optimize TP/SL
Consider adjusting the Take Profit and Stop Loss settings to potentially manage risk.
Step 4: Optimize Bars Between Trades
Set the number of bars between trades to regulate the frequency of trade executions. This adjustment may help in reducing the risk of overtrading and support a more disciplined trading strategy.
Step 5: Optimize Trade Flip
Adjust the trade flip parameters to potentially improve the management of transitions between long and short positions. This adjustment is intended to help achieve smoother trade executions, though outcomes may vary.
Step 6: Optimize RSI OB/OB Levels
Consider adjusting the overbought (OB) and oversold (OS) RSI levels to explore potential improvements in signal sensitivity. Careful calibration of these levels may help refine the accuracy of trend reversal signals, although results may depend on market conditions.

From this point, consider setting alerts to make the most of the Mxwll Opt Algo's potential accuracy.
The effectiveness of the Opt Algo signal output can be evaluated using the "PF" table, which indicates the profit factor score for the strategy. A profit factor (PF) of less than or equal to 1 suggests that the strategy may not be profitable.
Disclaimer
No strategy works on any timeframe on any asset, so, if the Opt Algo underperforms for the asset/timeframe you're analyzing, the Opt Algo PF table lets you know it hasn't been generating accurate signals, in which case you can decide not to use it!
Optimization Disclaimer
Optimization can be tricky. It's helpful to test numerous strategies in aggregate to see if a strategy has potential. Despite this, optimization can cause overfitting. Overfitting occurs when a strategy is too closely fit to the data it's trading. Overfit backtests are deceptively phenomenal. While the historical performance looks great, the future expectancy of the strategy remains unpredictable - an overfit strategy will profit from periods of random price movement which, being random, are irreproducible and cannot be profited from other than their initial occurrence. When a strategy trades random price movement profitably, any and all profit earned can be reduced to chance. Keep this in mind when using the in-built optimization system. Optimization should be kept to a minimum, a tool to point you in the right direction, whether confirming potential or signifying a useless system.
Internal Bar Strength IBS [Anan]This indicator calculates and displays the Internal Bar Strength (IBS) along with its moving average. The IBS is a measure that represents where the closing price is relative to the high-low range of a given period.
█ Main Formula
The core of this indicator is the Internal Bar Strength (IBS) calculation. The basic IBS formula is:
ibs = (close - low) / (high - low)
I enhanced the original formula by incorporating a user-defined length parameter. This modification allows for greater flexibility in analysis and interpretation. The extended version enables users to adjust the indicator's length according to their specific needs or market conditions. Notably, setting the length parameter to 1 reproduces the behavior of the original formula, maintaining backward compatibility while offering expanded functionality:
ibs = (close - ta.lowest(low, ibs_length)) / (ta.highest(high, ibs_length) - ta.lowest(low, ibs_length))
Where:
- `close` is the closing price of the current bar
- `lowest low` is the lowest low price over the specified IBS length
- `highest high` is the highest high price over the specified IBS length
█ Key Features
- Calculates IBS using a user-defined length
- Applies a moving average to the IBS values
- Offers multiple moving average types
- Includes optional Bollinger Bands or Donchian Channel overlays
- Visualizes bull and bear areas
█ Inputs
- IBS Length: The period used for IBS calculation
- MA Type: The type of moving average applied to IBS (options: SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, VWMA, Bollinger Bands, Donchian)
- MA Length: The period used for the moving average calculation
- BB StdDev: Standard deviation multiplier for Bollinger Bands
█ How to Use and Interpret
1. IBS Line Interpretation:
- IBS values range from 0 to 1
- Values close to 1 indicate the close was near the high, suggesting a bullish sentiment
- Values close to 0 indicate the close was near the low, suggesting a bearish sentiment
- Values around 0.5 suggest the close was near the middle of the range
2. Overbought/Oversold Conditions:
- IBS values above 0.8 (teal zone) may indicate overbought conditions
- IBS values below 0.2 (red zone) may indicate oversold conditions
- These zones can be used to identify potential reversal points
3. Trend Identification:
- Consistent IBS values above 0.5 may indicate an uptrend
- Consistent IBS values below 0.5 may indicate a downtrend
4. Using Moving Averages:
- The yellow MA line can help smooth out IBS fluctuations
- Crossovers between the IBS and its MA can signal potential trend changes
5. Bollinger Bands/Donchian Channel:
- When enabled, these can provide additional context for overbought/oversold conditions
- IBS touching or exceeding the upper band may indicate overbought conditions
- IBS touching or falling below the lower band may indicate oversold conditions
Remember that no single indicator should be used in isolation. Always combine IBS analysis with other technical indicators, price action analysis, and broader market context for more reliable trading decisions.

Reversal Zones with SignalsThe "Reversal Zones with Signals" indicator is an advanced technical analysis tool designed to help traders identify potential market reversal points. By integrating Relative Strength Index (RSI), moving averages, and swing high/low detection, this indicator provides traders with clear visual cues for potential buy and sell opportunities.
Key Features and Benefits
Integration of Multiple Technical Analysis Tools:
The indicator seamlessly combines RSI, moving averages, and swing high/low detection. This multi-faceted approach enhances the reliability of the signals by confirming potential reversals through different technical analysis perspectives.
Customizable Parameters:
Users can adjust the sensitivity of the moving averages, the RSI overbought and oversold levels, and the length of the reversal zones. This flexibility allows traders to tailor the indicator to fit their specific trading strategies and market conditions.
Clear Visual Signals:
Buy and sell signals are plotted directly on the chart as easily recognizable green and red labels. This visual clarity simplifies the process of identifying potential entry and exit points, enabling traders to act quickly and decisively.
Reversal Zones:
The indicator plots reversal zones based on swing highs and lows in conjunction with RSI conditions. Green lines represent potential support levels (zone bottoms), while red lines represent potential resistance levels (zone tops). These zones provide traders with clear areas where price reversals are likely to occur.
Automated Alerts:
Custom alerts can be set for both buy and sell signals, providing real-time notifications when potential trading opportunities arise. This feature ensures that traders do not miss critical market moves.
How It Works
RSI Calculation:
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is calculated to determine overbought and oversold conditions. When RSI exceeds the overbought threshold, it indicates that the market may be overbought, and when it falls below the oversold threshold, it indicates that the market may be oversold. This helps in identifying potential reversal points.
Swing High/Low Detection:
Swing highs and lows are detected using a specified lookback period. These points represent significant price levels where reversals are likely to occur. Swing highs are detected using the ta.pivothigh function, and swing lows are detected using the ta.pivotlow function.
Reversal Zones:
Reversal zones are defined by plotting lines at swing high and low levels when RSI conditions are met. These zones serve as visual cues for potential support and resistance areas, providing a structured framework for identifying reversal points.
Buy and Sell Signals:
Buy signals are generated when the price crosses above a defined reversal zone bottom, indicating a potential upward reversal. Sell signals are generated when the price crosses below a defined reversal zone top, indicating a potential downward reversal. These signals are further confirmed by the presence of bullish or bearish engulfing patterns.
Plotting and Alerts:

CPR by MTThe CPR indicator, or Central Pivot Range indicator, is a technical analysis tool used in trading to identify potential support and resistance levels based on the price action of a security. Developed by pivot point theory, it is particularly popular among day traders and swing traders. The CPR indicator consists of three lines:
1. **Pivot Point (PP):** This is the central line and is calculated as the average of the high, low, and closing prices from the previous trading period.
\
2. **Top Central Pivot (TC):** This is calculated by subtracting the low from the PP and then adding the result to the PP.
\
3. **Bottom Central Pivot (BC):** This is calculated by subtracting the high from the PP and then adding the result to the PP.
\
### How to Use the CPR Indicator
- **Trend Identification:** A wide CPR range indicates low volatility and a potential sideways or consolidation phase. A narrow CPR range indicates high volatility and a potential strong trending move.
- **Support and Resistance:** The top and bottom central pivots act as immediate resistance and support levels. If the price is above the TC, it indicates a bullish sentiment, while if it is below the BC, it indicates a bearish sentiment.
- **Entry and Exit Points:** Traders use the CPR lines to determine optimal entry and exit points. For example, if the price breaks above the TC and sustains, it may signal a buy opportunity, whereas a drop below the BC may signal a sell opportunity.
### Practical Example
Suppose a stock had a high of $105, a low of $95, and a closing price of $100 on the previous day. The CPR levels for the next day would be calculated as follows:
1. **Pivot Point (PP):**
\
2. **Top Central Pivot (TC):**
\
3. **Bottom Central Pivot (BC):**
\
The levels for the next day would be PP = $100, TC = $110, and BC = $90. Traders would then use these levels to assess potential trading strategies based on where the price moves relative to these levels.
### Conclusion
The CPR indicator is a useful tool for traders looking to understand market conditions and make informed decisions about entry and exit points. Its effectiveness comes from its ability to highlight key price levels derived from historical price data, helping traders predict potential market movements.
20,200SMA,PDHL,15 minute ORBSimple Moving Averages (SMAs):
The script calculates three SMAs: SMA 20 High, SMA 20 Low, and SMA 200 Close. These moving averages are widely used in technical analysis to smooth out price data and identify trends.
The SMA for the high price (SMA 20 High) is calculated based on the 20-period moving average of the high prices.
Similarly, the SMA for the low price (SMA 20 Low) is calculated based on the 20-period moving average of the low prices.
The SMA for the close price (SMA 200 Close) is calculated based on the 200-period moving average of the closing prices.
Each SMA is plotted on the chart, and their colors are determined based on whether the current close price is above or below each respective SMA.
Conditional Coloring:
The script employs conditional coloring to visually highlight whether the close price is above or below each SMA.
If the close price is below the SMA 20 High, it's plotted in red; otherwise, it's plotted in green.
Similarly, the SMA 20 Low and SMA 200 Close are plotted with conditional colors based on the relationship between the close price and each respective SMA.
Previous Day's Data:
The script retrieves and plots the high, low, and close prices of the previous trading day.
This provides traders with valuable information about the previous day's market behavior, which can influence trading decisions.
Opening 15-minute Range Breakout:
The script calculates the high and low prices during the first 15 minutes of each trading day.
These prices represent the opening range for the day.
It then determines whether the current close price is above or below this opening range and plots it accordingly.
This breakout strategy helps traders identify potential trading opportunities based on early price movements.
By integrating these components, the script offers traders a comprehensive analysis of market trends, previous day's performance, and potential breakout opportunities. Its originality lies in the combination of these features into a single, easy-to-use indicator, providing valuable insights for trading decisions.
