HMA Swing Levels [BigBeluga]An advanced swing structure and trend-following tool built on Hull Moving Average logic, designed to detect major reversals and track dynamic support/resistance zones.
This indicator analyzes price swings using pivot highs/lows and a smoothed HMA trend baseline. It highlights key reversal levels and keeps them active until breached, giving traders a clear visual framework for price structure and trend alignment. The pivots are calculated in real-time using non-lagging logic, making them highly responsive to market conditions.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Combines a fast-reacting Hull Moving Average (HMA) with pivot logic to capture precise directional changes.
Detects non-lagging reversal highs and lows when pivot points form and the HMA direction flips.
Projects these reversal levels forward as horizontal support/resistance lines until broken by price.
Active trend is shown with a step-style trail line that reflects HMA bias over time.
🔵 FEATURES
Swing Level Detection:
Identifies high/low reversals when trend direction changes and plots horizontal zones.
Non-lagging logic of swing points detection:
if h == high and high < h and change > 0
// Detected Swing High
if l == low and low > l and change < 0
// Detected Swing Low
Persistent Support & Resistance Lines:
Each detected swing high or low is extended forward until price invalidates the level. Dotted style is applied once breached.
Color-Coded Trend Trail:
Displays a stepped trend trail using HMA slope: lime = uptrend, blue = downtrend.
Automatic Labeling:
Each reversal level is labeled with its price for clear reference.
Age-Based Line Thickness:
Every level increases in thickness every 250 bars. The longer the level lasts, the stronger it is.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use green (support) and blue (resistance) levels to frame key reaction zones.
Trade with the trend defined by the trail color: lime for bullish bias, blue for bearish.
Explore where buy or sell orders are stacked
Look for breaks of swing lines to anticipate trend shifts or breakout setups.
Adjust the "Trend Change" input to tune the sensitivity of swing detection.
Adjust the "SwingLevels" input to define how far back to search for valid pivots.
🔵 CONCLUSION
HMA Swing Levels offers a hybrid approach to structural and trend-based trading. With automated non-lagging swing detection, persistent support/resistance tracking, and intuitive HMA-based trend coloring, it provides a powerful visual system for discretionary and systematic traders alike.

cd_respect2_EQ_Cx🔹 Overview:
Many traders form a bias or look for trade setups by analyzing the high (H) and low (L) of previous higher timeframe candles. For example: a close above the previous daily high, a failure to close after breaking the high, or approaching the level without making a new high. As we’ve been taught to focus on these key levels, I wanted to draw attention to what's happening at the mid-levels (Equilibrium) of the current and higher timeframe candles.
We’ve all heard the phrase “Strong price reacts from equilibrium,” yet most of us wait at the extremes.
While working on equilibrium levels of both higher timeframes and the current timeframe, I noticed that when a current candle closes above/below the previous HTF candle's high/low, price often respects the part of the candle that caused the break — which I refer to as the Last Block. When respected, price tends to continue with momentum; when lost, a pullback or reversal often follows.
________________________________________
🔹 About the Indicator:
This tool analyzes four different higher timeframes and shows:
• Current candle equilibrium levels
• Previous candle equilibrium levels (2 display options):
1. On Box – classic display
2. On Candle – equilibrium is linked to the last candle that includes the level, making those candles more meaningful or "strengthened"
• Alerts (standard) and on-screen warnings when price approaches previous equilibrium levels
• High/Low levels of previous HTF candles
• High/Low levels of live HTF candles
• Last Block: the upper or lower part of the candle that caused the breakout when price closes above/below the previous HTF high/low
• Countdown timer until the close of selected HTFs
________________________________________
🔹 Menus & Usage:
🔸 Show/Hide Tab:
• Toggle Previous Equilibrium display (On Candle / On Box)
• Toggle Live Equilibrium levels, color selection, and left extension
• Toggle Current Candle Equilibrium and colors
• Alert on Chart: flashing on-screen visual alert
• Approach Limit: sets how close price must be to trigger alert
• Remaining Time (RT): toggle countdown display for selected timeframes
________________________________________
🔸 HTF H/L Levels Tab:
• Show previous and live HTF candle highs/lows
• Customize colors, starting points, and left extension options
________________________________________
🔸 Timeframes & Options Tab:
• Select which timeframes to display
• Choose level colors
• Enable price alerts
• Control visibility in the time chart
• Toggle Last Block display (close-to-high/low)
________________________________________
🔸 Look Back HTF Candles Tab:
• Delete filled levels: removes invalidated zones; only unmitigated remain
• Back Control: set how many candles to look back per timeframe (unlimited if not set)
________________________________________
🔸 HTF Boxes Tab:
• Display HTF candles in boxes
• Set colors (single color or per timeframe)
• Adjust font sizes across the chart
________________________________________
🔹 Usage & Last Blocks:
The core idea behind both equilibrium levels and last blocks is:
Price should “gain” and respect them to validate continuation.
Viewing multiple timeframes together strengthens bias.
Each level is treated as part of the candle it's associated with — defining the “area to be gained.”
“Did price respect the level because of that candle, or did the candle gain significance because it aligned with the level? That’s open for debate.”
(In my opinion, the candle gains significance because it aligns with the level.)
When respected, these levels/blocks act as support; when lost, they act as resistance.
In suitable timeframes, reclaiming previous equilibrium levels may be interpreted as CHoCH / CISD / IDM depending on the context.
________________________________________
🔹 Usage Example – Last Blocks:
I personally trade on 1-minute and use Daily / H4 / H1 / 15m as selected timeframes.
For example, if price reclaims the previous 15m level, I view it as a Change of Character. I then expect the next candle to show respect in that direction.
Choose timeframes based on your trading style.
Sometimes, HTF levels (past and live) cluster tightly — these areas are key watch zones for me.
That’s the reason I decided to share this indicator.
________________________________________
🔹 Chart Examples:
🔸 Example 1:
Price closes above both the 12:45 15m candle and the 12:00 H1 equilibrium levels.
Last Block forms. After retracing, price mitigates the block and respects live equilibrium levels (H4/H1/15m).
🔸 Example 2:
Explained on chart – Levels that pushed price down in the bearish trend later acted as support.
🔸 Example 3 – CHoCH/CISD/IDM Alternative:
Explained on chart – Replacing structural signals with equilibrium levels.
I see this pattern often — very effective.
🔸 Example 4:
Many levels are clustered in a narrow range; price shows respect across the board.
________________________________________
🔹 Final Note:
Hope you like the tool. I’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions.
"Keep in mind, strong price reverses from equilibrium."
Happy trading!
Ultimate Scalping Tool[BullByte]Overview
The Ultimate Scalping Tool is an open-source TradingView indicator built for scalpers and short-term traders released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. It uses a custom Quantum Flux Candle (QFC) oscillator to combine multiple market forces into one visual signal. In plain terms, the script reads momentum, trend strength, volatility, and volume together and plots a special “candlestick” each bar (the QFC) that reflects the overall market bias. This unified view makes it easier to spot entries and exits: the tool labels signals as Strong Buy/Sell, Pullback (a brief retracement in a trend), Early Entry, or Exit Warning . It also provides color-coded alerts and a small dashboard of metrics. In practice, traders see green/red oscillator bars and symbols on the chart when conditions align, helping them scalp or trend-follow without reading multiple separate indicators.
Core Components
Quantum Flux Candle (QFC) Construction
The QFC is the heart of the indicator. Rather than using raw price, it creates a candlestick-like bar from the underlying oscillator values. Each QFC bar has an “open,” “high/low,” and “close” derived from calculated momentum and volatility inputs for that period . In effect, this turns the oscillator into intuitive candle patterns so traders can recognize momentum shifts visually. (For comparison, note that Heikin-Ashi candles “have a smoother look because take an average of the movement”. The QFC instead represents exact oscillator readings, so it reflects true momentum changes without hiding price action.) Colors of QFC bars change dynamically (e.g. green for bullish momentum, red for bearish) to highlight shifts. This is the first open-source QFC oscillator that dynamically weights four non-correlated indicators with moving thresholds, which makes it a unique indicator on its own.
Oscillator Normalization & Adaptive Weights
The script normalizes its oscillator to a fixed scale (for example, a 0–100 range much like the RSI) so that various inputs can be compared fairly. It then applies adaptive weighting: the relative influence of trend, momentum, volatility or volume signals is automatically adjusted based on current market conditions. For instance, in very volatile markets the script might weight volatility more heavily, or in a strong trend it might give extra weight to trend direction. Normalizing data and adjusting weights helps keep the QFC sensitive but stable (normalization ensures all inputs fit a common scale).
Trend/Momentum/Volume/Volatility Fusion
Unlike a typical single-factor oscillator, the QFC oscillator fuses four aspects at once. It may compute, for example, a trend indicator (such as an ADX or moving average slope), a momentum measure (like RSI or Rate-of-Change), a volume-based pressure (similar to MFI/OBV), and a volatility measure (like ATR) . These different values are combined into one composite oscillator. This “multi-dimensional” approach follows best practices of using non-correlated indicators (trend, momentum, volume, volatility) for confirmation. By encoding all these signals in one line, a high QFC reading means that trend, momentum, and volume are all aligned, whereas a neutral reading might mean mixed conditions. This gives traders a comprehensive picture of market strength.
Signal Classification
The script interprets the QFC oscillator to label trades. For example:
• Strong Buy/Sell : Triggered when the oscillator crosses a high-confidence threshold (e.g. breaks clearly above zero with strong slope), indicating a well-confirmed move. This is like seeing a big green/red QFC candle aligned with the trend.
• Pullbacks : Identified when the trend is up but momentum dips briefly. A Pullback Buy appears if the overall trend is bullish but the oscillator has a short retracement – a typical buying opportunity in an uptrend. (A pullback is “a brief decline or pause in a generally upward price trend”.)
• Early Buy/Sell : Marks an initial swing in the oscillator suggesting a possible new trend, before it is fully confirmed. It’s a hint of momentum building (an early-warning signal), not as strong as the confirmed “Strong” signal.
• Exit Warnings : Issued when momentum peaks or reverses. For instance, if the QFC bars reach a high and start turning red/green opposite, the indicator warns that the move may be ending. In other words, a Momentum Peak is the point of maximum strength after which weakness may follow.
These categories correspond to typical trading concepts: Pullback (temporary reversal in an uptrend), Early Buy (an initial bullish cross), Strong Buy (confirmed bullish momentum), and Momentum Peak (peak oscillator value suggesting exhaustion).
Filters (DI Reversal, Dynamic Thresholds, HTF EMA/ADX)
Extra filters help avoid bad trades. A DI Reversal filter uses the +DI/–DI lines (from the ADX system) to require that the trend direction confirms the signal . For example, it might ignore a buy signal if the +DI is still below –DI. Dynamic Thresholds adjust signal levels on-the-fly: rather than fixed “overbought” lines, they move with volatility so signals happen under appropriate market stress. An optional High-Timeframe EMA or ADX filter adds a check against a larger timeframe trend: for instance, only taking a trade if price is above the weekly EMA or if weekly ADX shows a strong trend. (Notably, the ADX is “a technical indicator used by traders to determine the strength of a price trend”, so requiring a high-timeframe ADX avoids trading against the bigger trend.)
Dashboard Metrics & Color Logic
The Dashboard in the Ultimate Scalping Tool (UST) serves as a centralized information hub, providing traders with real-time insights into market conditions, trend strength, momentum, volume pressure, and trade signals. It is highly customizable, allowing users to adjust its appearance and content based on their preferences.
1. Dashboard Layout & Customization
Short vs. Extended Mode : Users can toggle between a compact view (9 rows) and an extended view (13 rows) via the `Short Dashboard` input.
Text Size Options : The dashboard supports three text sizes— Tiny, Small, and Normal —adjustable via the `Dashboard Text Size` input.
Positioning : The dashboard is positioned in the top-right corner by default but can be moved if modified in the script.
2. Key Metrics Displayed
The dashboard presents critical trading metrics in a structured table format:
Trend (TF) : Indicates the current trend direction (Strong Bullish, Moderate Bullish, Sideways, Moderate Bearish, Strong Bearish) based on normalized trend strength (normTrend) .
Momentum (TF) : Displays momentum status (Strong Bullish/Bearish or Neutral) derived from the oscillator's position relative to dynamic thresholds.
Volume (CMF) : Shows buying/selling pressure levels (Very High Buying, High Selling, Neutral, etc.) based on the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator.
Basic & Advanced Signals:
Basic Signal : Provides simple trade signals (Strong Buy, Strong Sell, Pullback Buy, Pullback Sell, No Trade).
Advanced Signal : Offers nuanced signals (Early Buy/Sell, Momentum Peak, Weakening Momentum, etc.) with color-coded alerts.
RSI : Displays the Relative Strength Index (RSI) value, colored based on overbought (>70), oversold (<30), or neutral conditions.
HTF Filter : Indicates the higher timeframe trend status (Bullish, Bearish, Neutral) when using the Leading HTF Filter.
VWAP : Shows the V olume-Weighted Average Price and whether the current price is above (bullish) or below (bearish) it.
ADX : Displays the Average Directional Index (ADX) value, with color highlighting whether it is rising (green) or falling (red).
Market Mode : Shows the selected market type (Crypto, Stocks, Options, Forex, Custom).
Regime : Indicates volatility conditions (High, Low, Moderate) based on the **ATR ratio**.
3. Filters Status Panel
A secondary panel displays the status of active filters, helping traders quickly assess which conditions are influencing signals:
- DI Reversal Filter: On/Off (confirms reversals before generating signals).
- Dynamic Thresholds: On/Off (adjusts buy/sell thresholds based on volatility).
- Adaptive Weighting: On/Off (auto-adjusts oscillator weights for trend/momentum/volatility).
- Early Signal: On/Off (enables early momentum-based signals).
- Leading HTF Filter: On/Off (applies higher timeframe trend confirmation).
4. Visual Enhancements
Color-Coded Cells : Each metric is color-coded (green for bullish, red for bearish, gray for neutral) for quick interpretation.
Dynamic Background : The dashboard background adapts to market conditions (bullish/bearish/neutral) based on ADX and DI trends.
Customizable Reference Lines : Users can enable/disable fixed reference lines for the oscillator.
How It(QFC) Differs from Traditional Indicators
Quantum Flux Candle (QFC) Versus Heikin-Ashi
Heikin-Ashi candles smooth price by averaging (HA’s open/close use averages) so they show trend clearly but hide true price (the current HA bar’s close is not the real price). QFC candles are different: they are oscillator values, not price averages . A Heikin-Ashi chart “has a smoother look because it is essentially taking an average of the movement”, which can cause lag. The QFC instead shows the raw combined momentum each bar, allowing faster recognition of shifts. In short, HA is a smoothed price chart; QFC is a momentum-based chart.
Versus Standard Oscillators
Common oscillators like RSI or MACD use fixed formulas on price (or price+volume). For example, RSI “compares gains and losses and normalizes this value on a scale from 0 to 100”, reflecting pure price momentum. MFI is similar but adds volume. These indicators each show one dimension: momentum or volume. The Ultimate Scalping Tool’s QFC goes further by integrating trend strength and volatility too. In practice, this means a move that looks strong on RSI might be downplayed by low volume or weak trend in QFC. As one source notes, using multiple non-correlated indicators (trend, momentum, volume, volatility) provides a more complete market picture. The QFC’s multi-factor fusion is unique – it is effectively a multi-dimensional oscillator rather than a traditional single-input one.
Signal Style
Traditional oscillators often use crossovers (RSI crossing 50) or fixed zones (MACD above zero) for signals. The Ultimate Scalping Tool’s signals are custom-classified: it explicitly labels pullbacks, early entries, and strong moves. These terms go beyond a typical indicator’s generic “buy”/“sell.” In other words, it packages a strategy around the oscillator, which traders can backtest or observe without reading code.
Key Term Definitions
• Pullback : A short-term dip or consolidation in an uptrend. In this script, a Pullback Buy appears when price is generally rising but shows a brief retracement. (As defined by Investopedia, a pullback is “a brief decline or pause in a generally upward price trend”.)
• Early Buy/Sell : An initial or tentative entry signal. It means the oscillator first starts turning positive (or negative) before a full trend has developed. It’s an early indication that a trend might be starting.
• Strong Buy/Sell : A confident entry signal when multiple conditions align. This label is used when momentum is already strong and confirmed by trend/volume filters, offering a higher-probability trade.
• Momentum Peak : The point where bullish (or bearish) momentum reaches its maximum before weakening. When the oscillator value stops rising (or falling) and begins to reverse, the script flags it as a peak – signaling that the current move could be overextended.
What is the Flux MA?
The Flux MA (Moving Average) is an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) applied to a normalized oscillator, referred to as FM . Its purpose is to smooth out the fluctuations of the oscillator, providing a clearer picture of the underlying trend direction and strength. Think of it as a dynamic baseline that the oscillator moves above or below, helping you determine whether the market is trending bullish or bearish.
How it’s calculated (Flux MA):
1.The oscillator is normalized (scaled to a range, typically between 0 and 1, using a default scale factor of 100.0).
2.An EMA is applied to this normalized value (FM) over a user-defined period (default is 10 periods).
3.The result is rescaled back to the oscillator’s original range for plotting.
Why it matters : The Flux MA acts like a support or resistance level for the oscillator, making it easier to spot trend shifts.
Color of the Flux Candle
The Quantum Flux Candle visualizes the normalized oscillator (FM) as candlesticks, with colors that indicate specific market conditions based on the relationship between the FM and the Flux MA. Here’s what each color means:
• Green : The FM is above the Flux MA, signaling bullish momentum. This suggests the market is trending upward.
• Red : The FM is below the Flux MA, signaling bearish momentum. This suggests the market is trending downward.
• Yellow : Indicates strong buy conditions (e.g., a "Strong Buy" signal combined with a positive trend). This is a high-confidence signal to go long.
• Purple : Indicates strong sell conditions (e.g., a "Strong Sell" signal combined with a negative trend). This is a high-confidence signal to go short.
The candle mode shows the oscillator’s open, high, low, and close values for each period, similar to price candlesticks, but it’s the color that provides the quick visual cue for trading decisions.
How to Trade the Flux MA with Respect to the Candle
Trading with the Flux MA and Quantum Flux Candle involves using the MA as a trend indicator and the candle colors as entry and exit signals. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1. Identify the Trend Direction
• Bullish Trend : The Flux Candle is green and positioned above the Flux MA. This indicates upward momentum.
• Bearish Trend : The Flux Candle is red and positioned below the Flux MA. This indicates downward momentum.
The Flux MA serves as the reference line—candles above it suggest buying pressure, while candles below it suggest selling pressure.
2. Interpret Candle Colors for Trade Signals
• Green Candle : General bullish momentum. Consider entering or holding a long position.
• Red Candle : General bearish momentum. Consider entering or holding a short position.
• Yellow Candle : A strong buy signal. This is an ideal time to enter a long trade.
• Purple Candle : A strong sell signal. This is an ideal time to enter a short trade.
3. Enter Trades Based on Crossovers and Colors
• Long Entry : Enter a buy position when the Flux Candle turns green and crosses above the Flux MA. If it turns yellow, this is an even stronger signal to go long.
• Short Entry : Enter a sell position when the Flux Candle turns red and crosses below the Flux MA. If it turns purple, this is an even stronger signal to go short.
4. Exit Trades
• Exit Long : Close your buy position when the Flux Candle turns red or crosses below the Flux MA, indicating the bullish trend may be reversing.
• Exit Short : Close your sell position when the Flux Candle turns green or crosses above the Flux MA, indicating the bearish trend may be reversing.
•You might also exit a long trade if the candle changes from yellow to green (weakening strong buy signal) or a short trade from purple to red (weakening strong sell signal).
5. Use Additional Confirmation
To avoid false signals, combine the Flux MA and candle signals with other indicators or dashboard metrics (e.g., trend strength, momentum, or volume pressure). For example:
•A yellow candle with a " Strong Bullish " trend and high buying volume is a robust long signal.
•A red candle with a " Moderate Bearish " trend and neutral momentum might need more confirmation before shorting.
Practical Example
Imagine you’re scalping a cryptocurrency:
• Long Trade : The Flux Candle turns yellow and is above the Flux MA, with the dashboard showing "Strong Buy" and high buying volume. You enter a long position. You exit when the candle turns red and dips below the Flux MA.
• Short Trade : The Flux Candle turns purple and crosses below the Flux MA, with a "Strong Sell" signal on the dashboard. You enter a short position. You exit when the candle turns green and crosses above the Flux MA.
Market Presets and Adaptation
This indicator is designed to work on any market with candlestick price data (stocks, crypto, forex, indices, etc.). To handle different behavior, it provides presets for major asset classes. Selecting a “Stocks,” “Crypto,” “Forex,” or “Options” preset automatically loads a set of parameter values optimized for that market . For example, a crypto preset might use a shorter lookback or higher sensitivity to account for crypto’s high volatility, while a stocks preset might use slightly longer smoothing since stocks often trend more slowly. In practice, this means the same core QFC logic applies across markets, but the thresholds and smoothing adjust so signals remain relevant for each asset type.
Usage Guidelines
• Recommended Timeframes : Optimized for 1 minute to 15 minute intraday charts. Can also be used on higher timeframes for short term swings.
• Market Types : Select “Crypto,” “Stocks,” “Forex,” or “Options” to auto tune periods, thresholds and weights. Use “Custom” to manually adjust all inputs.
• Interpreting Signals : Always confirm a signal by checking that trend, volume, and VWAP agree on the dashboard. A green “Strong Buy” arrow with green trend, green volume, and price > VWAP is highest probability.
• Adjusting Sensitivity : To reduce false signals in fast markets, enable DI Reversal Confirmation and Dynamic Thresholds. For more frequent entries in trending environments, enable Early Entry Trigger.
• Risk Management : This tool does not plot stop loss or take profit levels. Users should define their own risk parameters based on support/resistance or volatility bands.
Background Shading
To give you an at-a-glance sense of market regime without reading numbers, the indicator automatically tints the chart background in three modes—neutral, bullish and bearish—with two levels of intensity (light vs. dark):
Neutral (Gray)
When ADX is below 20 the market is considered “no trend” or too weak to trade. The background fills with a light gray (high transparency) so you know to sit on your hands.
Bullish (Green)
As soon as ADX rises above 20 and +DI exceeds –DI, the background turns a semi-transparent green, signaling an emerging uptrend. When ADX climbs above 30 (strong trend), the green becomes more opaque—reminding you that trend-following signals (Strong Buy, Pullback) carry extra weight.
Bearish (Red)
Similarly, if –DI exceeds +DI with ADX >20, you get a light red tint for a developing downtrend, and a darker, more solid red once ADX surpasses 30.
By dynamically varying both hue (green vs. red vs. gray) and opacity (light vs. dark), the background instantly communicates trend strength and direction—so you always know whether to favor breakout-style entries (in a strong trend) or stay flat during choppy, low-ADX conditions.

- Horizontal Lines at 0.25% increments (these can be useful for S/R... currency rarely moves more than 1% in a day).
- A table with information about what markets are open and technicals on the pair I am looking at.
- A slight white background fill to highlight the first hour of the US session. Knowing what session you are in is very important in day trading (in my opinion). This lets me go back and see how the US has been trading.
To keep the chart from being "too busy" (it's plenty busy lol), I use a step line and focus on 30min closes. I reference the white lines above and below closes for 4hr highs/lows and don't bother with looking at the high/low of every 30 min bar.
For the table, you will see bright green by the country for the first hour of trading in that session. It will turn to a regular green after the first hour. It will turn yellow the final hour of that session. It will turn red if that market is closed.
You can select from the settings 'inputs' tab to enable/disable any parts of this you don't find useful, for the table you'd go over to the 'style' tab and unselect it there. For example, I don't use the labels regularly. If I were to get confused about what a moving average was or something, I'd enable the labels and clarify.
Currency doesn't like to break out and likes to be stable. Keeping this in mind, you can see how the 20 day high / low and the 5 day high / low act as support and resistance (unless there is a news event to break out on.
I have alerts for the following:
- Price update every hour
- Crossing a trend line
- Crossing a moving average
- Crossing a 0.25% increment
- Making a new 4 hour, 5 day, or 20 day high/low
To enable the alerts, you would click add alert, select the indicator, and click save. To work properly, you'd want to be on the 30min TF before doing this. You will get a lot of alerts (personally I like this because I like to see how currency moves throughout the day). You will get one notification per 30 minutes but not more than that for the particular alert.
Smart Range DetectorSmart Range Detector
What It Does
This indicator automatically detects and validates significant trading ranges using pivot point analysis combined with logarithmic fibonacci relationships. It operates by identifying specific pivot patterns (High-Low-High and Low-High-Low) that meet fibonacci validation criteria to filter out noise and highlight only the most reliable trading ranges. Each range is continuously monitored for potential mitigation (breakout) events.
Key Features
Identifies both High-Low-High and Low-High-Low range patterns
Validates each range using logarithmic fibonacci relationships (more accurate than linear fibs)
Detects range mitigations (breakouts) and visually differentiates them
Shows fibonacci levels within ranges (25%, 50%, 75%) for potential reversal points
Visualizes extension levels beyond ranges for breakout targets
Analyzes volume profile with customizable price divisions (default: 60)
Displays Point of Control (POC) and Value Area for traded volume analysis
Implements performance optimization with configurable range limits
Includes user-adjustable safety checks to prevent Pine Script limitations
Offers fully customizable colors, line widths, and transparency settings
How To Use It
Identify Valid Ranges : The indicator automatically detects and highlights trading ranges that meet fibonacci validation criteria
Monitor Fibonacci Levels : Watch for price reactions at internal fib levels (25%, 50%, 75%) for potential reversal opportunities
Track Extension Targets : Use the extension lines as potential targets when price breaks out of a range
Analyze Volume Structure : Enable the volume profile mode to see where most volume was traded within mitigated ranges
Trade Range Boundaries : Look for reactions at range highs/lows combined with volume POC for higher probability entries
Manage Performance : Adjust the maximum displayed ranges and history bars settings for optimal chart performance
Settings Guide
Left/Right Bars Look Back : Controls how far back the indicator looks to identify pivot points (higher values find more ranges but may reduce sensitivity)
Max History Bars : Limits how far back in history the indicator will analyze (stays within Pine Script's 10,000 bar limitation)
Max Ranges to Display : Restricts the total number of ranges kept in memory for improved performance (1-50)
Volume Profile : When enabled, shows volume distribution analysis for mitigated ranges
Volume Profile Divisions : Controls the granularity of the volume analysis (higher values show more detail)
Display Options : Toggle visibility of range lines, fibonacci levels, extension lines, and volume analysis elements
Transparency & Color Settings : Fully customize the visual appearance of all indicator elements
Line Width Settings : Adjust the thickness of lines for better visibility on different timeframes
Technical Details
The indicator uses logarithmic fibonacci calculations for more accurate price relationships
Volume profile analysis creates 60 price divisions by default (adjustable) for detailed volume distribution
All timestamps are properly converted to work with Pine Script's bar limitations
Safety checks prevent "array index out of bounds" errors that plague many complex indicators
Time-based coordinates are used instead of bar indices to prevent "bar index too far" errors
This indicator works well on all timeframes and instruments, but performs best on 5-minute to daily charts. Perfect for swing traders, range traders, and breakout strategists.
What Makes It Different
Most range indicators simply draw boxes based on recent highs and lows. Smart Range Detector validates each potential range using proven fibonacci relationships to filter out noise. It then adds sophisticated volume analysis to help traders identify the most significant price levels within each range. The performance optimization features ensure smooth operation even on lower timeframes and extended history analysis.
High Threshold Volume BarHigh Threshold Volume Bar (HP Vol Bar) has the following features highlighted below.
Overview:
The High Threshold Volume Bar (HP Vol Bar) is an advanced technical analysis tool designed to identify statistically significant price bars based on volume, range, and trend dynamics. It helps traders spot high-probability continuation or reversal setups by analyzing bar size relative to historical volatility, volume spikes, and trend strength.
Key Features
1. Adaptive Threshold Detection
.Uses standard deviation bands and moving averages to dynamically adjust the significance threshold based on recent market conditions.
.Bars exceeding this threshold are flagged as "significant" and color-coded for easy identification.
2. Volume & Range Normalization
.Adjusts bar size calculations by factoring in volume spikes (relative to SMA-smoothed volume) and full price range (high-low or just body size).
.Prevents false signals by capping extreme volume outliers.
3. Trend Strength & Direction
Incorporates Directional Movement (DMI) to assess trend strength.
Classifies signals as continuation or reversal based on trend alignment.
4. Percentile Ranking
.Compares current bar size against a lookback period (default: 100 bars) to determine its statistical rarity (top 20% = high significance).
5. Consecutive Signal Filtering
.Requires multiple consecutive significant bars (configurable) to confirm high-probability setups, reducing noise.
6. Visual & Alert System
.Color-coded bars:
.Blue (Bullish Continuation) / Pink (Bearish Continuation) for high-probability signals.
.Teal (Bullish) / Maroon (Bearish) for significant but unconfirmed bars.
.Info Table: Displays real-time metrics (signal type, percentile, trend strength, volatility regime).
.Alerts: Triggers when a high-probability sequence is detected.
Input Parameters
1. Parameter Description Default
2. SMA Length Smoothing period for average bar size. 50
3. Standard Deviation Period Lookback for volatility calculation. 20
4. Standard Deviation Multiplier Adjusts sensitivity of threshold. 2.5
5. Factor in Volume Normalizes bar size using volume. true
6. Use Full Range Measures high-low instead of open-close. true
7. Min Consecutive Bars Required confirmations for high-probability signals. 2
8. Historical Comparison Period Lookback for percentile ranking. 100
9. Trend Strength Period Smoothing for DMI-based trend assessment. 14
How It Works
1. Calculates Bar Size:
.Uses either full range (high-low) or body size (open-close).
.Adjusts for volume spikes via EMA-normalized volume.
2. Determines Significance:
.Bar size must exceed:
.Adaptive threshold = SMA + (StdDev × Multiplier × Volatility Factor).
.Percentile rank > 80% (top 20% of recent bars).
.Trend strength > 20% (DMI-derived).
3. Classifies Signals:
.Continuation: Significant bar aligns with prior trend.
.Reversal: Significant bar contradicts prior trend.
4. Confirms High-Probability Setups:
.Requires consecutive significant bars (user-defined) to filter noise.
7. Usage Guidelines
.Bullish Signals: Look for blue bars (confirmed) or teal bars (unconfirmed) in uptrends.
.Bearish Signals: Look for pink bars (confirmed) or maroon bars (unconfirmed) in downtrends.
.Alerts: Use built-in alerts to notify when a high-probability sequence forms.
.Combine With: Support/resistance levels, candlestick patterns, or momentum oscillators for confluence.
8. Why This Script?
.Dynamic Adaptation: Adjusts to changing volatility and volume regimes.
.Statistical Rigor: Uses percentile ranking to avoid overfitting.
.Clear Visuals: Intuitive color-coding and table for quick analysis.
Note: This is a closed-source script, but the logic is transparently explained to ensure traders understand its methodology.
How to Use "High Threshold Volume Bar" for Trade Entries
The HP Vol Bar indicator identifies high-probability trade setups based on statistically significant price bars. Here’s how to use it for entries, exits, and trade management:

Example:
Reversal Example
2. Filtering & Confluence (Improving Accuracy)
Trend Alignment: Only trade in the direction of the higher timeframe trend (e.g., use EMA 50/200)
Support/Resistance: Enter near key levels for better risk-reward.
Volume Confirmation: Avoid signals with below-average volume.
3. Advanced Strategies
A) Breakout Confirmation
If a significant bar breaks a key level, enter on retest.
Example: Blue bar breaks resistance → Buy on pullback.
B) Mean Reversion (Range Markets)
Use low volatility mode (volRegimeText = "LOW") + reversal signals.
Fade extreme moves back to the mean (e.g., SMA).

[TehThomas] - ICT VI / FVG / IFVG / Liquidity📌 Overview
This TradingView indicator is designed to help traders spot key price inefficiencies and liquidity events based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts. The script automatically highlights important areas on the chart, such as Volume Imbalances (VI), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), Inverted Fair Value Gaps (IFVG), and Liquidity Sweeps, giving traders a clear view of where price might react.
By marking these zones visually, the indicator serves as a liquidity map, showing where smart money could be targeting orders or rebalancing price action.
🔑 How the Script Works
The indicator detects four major market inefficiencies and liquidity patterns, each offering valuable insights into how price might behave:
1️⃣ Volume Imbalance (VI)
Bullish VI: When the current candle has higher volume than the previous candle in an upward move, this suggests demand is pushing the price up, creating potential buying opportunities.
Bearish VI: When the current candle has higher volume than the previous candle in a downward move, this suggests supply is pushing the price down, highlighting potential selling opportunities.
How to take trades:
Buy: Enter a long position when a bullish VI appears and the price is near a support zone or key level (such as the previous swing low or FVG).
Sell: Enter a short position when a bearish VI appears and the price is near a resistance zone or key level (such as the previous swing high or FVG).
2️⃣ Fair Value Gap (FVG)
Bullish FVG: A gap in price action where the low of the second candle is higher than the high of the first candle. Price tends to return to fill these gaps before continuing upward.
Bearish FVG: A gap in price action where the high of the second candle is lower than the low of the first candle. Price tends to return to fill these gaps before continuing downward.
How to take trades:
Buy: Enter long after a pullback into a bullish FVG zone and if price action shows signs of rejection (such as bullish candlestick patterns or strong momentum).
Sell: Enter short after a pullback into a bearish FVG zone and if price action shows signs of rejection (such as bearish candlestick patterns or strong downward momentum).
3️⃣ Inverted Fair Value Gap (IFVG)
An Inverted Fair Value Gap (IFVG) refers to a Fair Value Gap (FVG) that has already been filled or broken through by price action. Essentially, it is a gap that has been revisited by price and has now been mitigated or broken.
Example:
For Continuation: After price fills the gap, it may continue in the same direction. If price breaks through a bullish FVG and shows continuation, it may signal that the market is still in a strong uptrend.
For Reversal: If the price returns to an inverted FVG after breaching it, and then starts showing signs of reversal (e.g., reversal candlestick patterns, or a shift in momentum), this could signal an entry point in the opposite direction.
How to take trades:
Buy: Consider entering long when price returns to an IFVG zone that aligns with other bullish confluences, such as a bullish VI or liquidity sweep.
Sell: Consider entering short when price returns to a bearish IFVG zone that aligns with other bearish confluences, such as a bearish VI or liquidity sweep.
4️⃣ Liquidity Sweeps
Liquidity sweeps occur when the market temporarily breaks a key high or low to trigger stop-loss orders or lure traders into the wrong direction before reversing.
How to take trades:
Buy: If a liquidity sweep breaks a key resistance or swing high but fails to close above it, enter long when price begins to reverse in the opposite direction, ideally near a previous support or FVG zone.
Sell: If a liquidity sweep breaks a key support or swing low but fails to close below it, enter short when price begins to reverse in the opposite direction, ideally near a previous resistance or FVG zone.
🎯 Trade Setup and Confirmation Strategy
Here’s how to combine these concepts for high-probability trade setups:
Liquidity Sweeps + Volume Imbalances:
If a liquidity sweep occurs in conjunction with a volume imbalance (especially on a higher timeframe), this can act as a confirmation signal to enter the trade.
Example: A liquidity sweep breaks a previous high, but the price fails to close above it. If this happens alongside a break of a Volume imbalance (VI) , it could be a strong signal to sell.
FVG/IFVG Mitigation + Liquidity Sweeps:
Price often returns to mitigate imbalances, and when a liquidity sweep occurs near an unfilled gap, it could trigger a reversal.
Example: After an upward trend, a bearish liquidity sweep breaks a previous swing low, and price then revisits a bearish FVG and creates an IFVG, signaling an opportunity to buy.
Directional Bias (Higher Timeframe Analysis):
Always consider the higher timeframe trend to confirm trade direction. A bullish FVG or bullish VI on the lower timeframe aligns with a bullish trend on the higher timeframe.
Confluence with Key Levels:
When these patterns align with important price levels such as support, resistance, or previously identified swing highs/lows, it enhances the probability of a successful trade.
⚙️ How It Helps in Trading Strategy
The indicator assists in several aspects of trading:
Liquidity Hunts: Price often sweeps liquidity before making major moves.
Entry Confirmation: Use imbalances or sweeps as extra confluence for trade entries.
Mitigation Zones: Price frequently returns to fill inefficiencies before reversing.
Directional Bias: Bullish or bearish gaps align with the higher timeframe narrative.
🔍 ICT Concepts Included
✅Volume Imbalance (VI): High-volume inefficiencies.
✅Fair Value Gap (FVG): Standard price gaps.
✅Inverted Fair Value Gap (IFVG): Filtered large price gaps.
✅Liquidity Sweeps: Stop-hunting patterns by smart money.

Market RhythmMarket Rhythm
Overview
If you’re a price-action enthusiast who loves to stay on top of structural shifts in the market, Market Rhythm is here to supercharge your charting experience! This script automatically identifies swing points (HH, LH, HL, LL), detects breaks of structure (BOS), flags changes of character (CHoCH), and offers an optional Trade Tip to guide your next move. It also provides a sleek table summarizing the latest signals so you can confirm momentum or pivot-based ideas at a glance.
What It Does
Swing Detection
Spots the last few pivot highs and lows on your chart.
Labels them as HH (Higher High), LH (Lower High), HL (Higher Low), or LL (Lower Low).
You can display all identified swings or only the most recent ones.
Adaptive Swing Logic
Optionally invert your swing lengths when the script detects a bearish trend, allowing it to adapt pivot detection automatically.
This means if the market flips to a downtrend, pivot detection reconfigures itself in real time.
Break of Structure (BOS)
If price breaks above the previous swing high or below the previous swing low, the script prints a BOS line on the chart.
You can choose whether to confirm breakouts via candle closes or wicks.
CHoCH (Change of Character)
When a BOS flips from bullish to bearish (or vice versa) against the prior direction, it’s renamed CHoCH for added clarity.
Color-coded lines and labels let you instantly see if the market’s “character” is reversing.
Optional Trade Tip
The script can suggest “Look for Long” or “Look for Short” based on your last pivot type and overall trend direction.
This “Trade Tip” is completely optional: enable or disable it in the settings, and the table reconfigures itself automatically.
Information Table
A compact on-chart table gives you an at-a-glance summary of:
Trend – Are we bullish, bearish, or uncertain?
Last BOS – If there’s a recent break of structure, how many bars ago did it happen?
Last CHoCH – If the market made a sudden reversal, how many bars back?
Trade Tip (Optional) – Summarizes whether conditions favor a long or short setup, or if it’s best to wait.
Alerts
Built-in alert conditions let you know when a BOS or CHoCH happens (bullish or bearish).
Turn them on to receive notifications without staring at the screen all day.
Chart Elements
Swing Labels: “HH,” “LH,” “HL,” “LL” near the pivot bars.
BOS & CHoCH Lines: Solid/dashed/dotted lines drawn across your chart, marking the level of structure that got broken.
Color Codes: Bullish signals are tinted in blue-ish tones, bearish signals in pink/purple-ish tones, making it easy to parse your chart visually.
Trade Tip Row: If enabled, instantly highlights “Look for Long” or “Look for Short” in a color-coded cell (blue for long, purple for short, gray if none).
Key Settings
Swing Points
Swing Points Display: Show all pivots, only the last set, or no pivots at all.
Invert Right Swing in Bearish Trend: Automatically swap your “Right Swing Length (High)” and “Right Swing Length (Low)” once the script detects a bearish trend (signaled by the most recent CHoCH).
Left Swing Length / Right Swing Length High/Low: Control how sensitive pivot detection is for highs vs. lows.
Pivot Source: Decide if your pivots are based on candle closes or wicks.
BOS Settings
Show BOS: Hide or reveal the Break of Structure lines entirely.
BOS Confirmation: Candle closes or wicks needed for a “true” breakout.
Line Style / Width / Color: Customize the BOS lines to your liking.
Show Only Last BOS: Show only the freshest BOS or keep historical ones on the chart.
CHoCH Settings
Show CHoCH: Rename the first opposite BOS to CHoCH if desired.
Bullish/Bearish Colors: Pick your favorite color theme for CHoCH lines.
Line Style / Width / Show Only Last CHoCH: Similar customizing options as BOS lines.
Table Settings
Show Table: Toggle the entire summary table on/off.
Position & Text Size: Choose table location (top-left, bottom-right, etc.) and text size (small to huge).
Show 'Trade Tip' row: Decide whether to add a fourth row that suggests potential trade direction. If disabled, the table has only three rows (Trend, Last BOS, and Last CHoCH).
Alerts
Several alert conditions are built in (e.g., “Bullish BOS Alert,” “Bearish BOS Alert,” “CHoCH Alert,” etc.), so you can set notifications for real-time structural shifts.
Why You’ll Love It
Visual Clarity: No more guesswork on which pivot was broken or whether a CHoCH just took place—color-coded lines and labels handle it.
Flexible Pivot Logic: Candle closes vs. wicks, separate right swing lengths for highs and lows, and an adaptive approach if the market goes bearish.
Quick Glance Table: Summaries of the latest signals keep you in the loop without cluttering your chart.
Trade Tip Option: Let the script gently nudge you toward potential bullish or bearish setups—only if you want it to!
Alerts for Everything: BOS and CHoCH can trigger alerts so you never miss a key structural change.
Give Market Rhythm a go, and watch your chart transform into a dynamic story of structure breaks, pivot swings, and potential trade cues. Whether you’re a short-term scalper or a higher-timeframe swing trader, this tool aims to simplify your analysis and keep you laser-focused on what matters.

Net Unrealized Profit Loss | JeffreyTimmermansNet Unrealized Profit Loss (NUPL)
The "Net Unrealized Profit Loss" (NUPL) indicator is a highly regarded tool for assessing Bitcoin investor sentiment by analyzing the relationship between Market Value and Realized Value. This Pine Script implementation, developed by Jeffrey Timmermans, includes additional features such as dynamic labels, alerts, and thresholds with color-coded bands, enhancing its usability for traders and analysts.
Core Concepts Behind NUPL
Market Value (MV):
Defined as the current Bitcoin price multiplied by the number of coins in circulation.
Equivalent to market capitalization in traditional finance.
Realized Value (RV):
Calculated by considering the price at which each Bitcoin last moved (e.g., transferred between wallets).
The average price of all these transactions is multiplied by the total coins in circulation.
Net Unrealized Profit Loss (NUPL):
Formula: NUPL = (Market Value − Realized Value) : Market Value × 100
Measures the proportion of paper profits or losses held by investors relative to the market cap.
Significance of NUPL:
Tracks investor sentiment over time.
A high NUPL value indicates that most investors are in profit, often signaling potential market overheating.
A low or negative NUPL suggests pessimism and undervaluation, which may precede market recovery.
How to View the Chart
The NUPL chart uses distinct percentage bands to delineate various market phases. These bands provide context for understanding investor sentiment and market stages:
Extreme Low Values (< 0%): Indicates widespread losses; the market may be near capitulation.
Neutral Value (0%): A balance between profit and loss; often signifies a transition phase.
Slightly High to High Values (> 0% to 50%): Increasing profits suggest growing optimism; early stages of bullish trends.
Extreme High Values (> 75%): Signals overheating; often corresponds to excessive greed, which may precede corrections.
The colored bands visually represent these stages, enabling traders to identify key turning points.

Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse1. Name and Purpose
Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse is a Pine version 6 extension of the basic Fisher Transform indicator that focuses on highlighting potential turning points in price data. Its purpose is to allow traders to spot shifts in momentum, detect divergence, and adapt signals to different market environments. By combining a core Fisher Transform with additional signal processing, divergence detection, and customizable aggressiveness settings, this script aims to help users see when a price move might be losing momentum or gaining strength.
2. Overview
This script uses a Fisher Transform calculation on the average of each bar’s high and low (hl2). The Fisher Transform is designed to amplify price extremes by mapping data into a different scale, making potential reversals more visible than they might be with standard oscillators. Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse takes this concept further by integrating a signal line, divergence detection, bar coloring for momentum intensity, and optional thresholds to reduce unwanted noise.
3. Why Use the Fisher Transform
The Fisher Transform is known for converting relatively smoothed price data into a more pronounced scale. This transformation highlights where markets may be overextended. In many cases, standard oscillators move gently, and traders can miss subtle hints that a reversal might be approaching. The Fisher Transform’s mathematical approach tightens the range of values and sharpens the highs and lows. This behavior can allow traders to see clearer peaks and troughs in momentum. Because it is often quite responsive, it can help anticipate areas where price might change direction, especially when compared to simpler moving averages or traditional oscillators. The result is a more evident signal of possible overbought or oversold conditions.
4. How This Extension Improves on the Basic Fisher Transform
Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse adds multiple features to the classic Fisher framework in order to address different trading styles and market behaviors:
a) Divergence Detection
The script can detect bullish or bearish divergences between price and the oscillator over a chosen lookback period, helping traders anticipate shifts in market direction.
b) Bar Coloring
When momentum exceeds a certain threshold (default 3), bars can be colored to highlight surges of buying or selling pressure. This quick visual reference can assist in spotting periods of heightened activity. After a bar color like this, usually, there is a quick correction as seen in the image below.
c) Signal Aggressiveness Levels
Users can choose between conservative, moderate, or aggressive signal thresholds. This allows them to tune how quickly the indicator flags potential entries or exits. Aggressive settings might suit scalpers who need rapid signals, while conservative settings may benefit swing traders preferring fewer, more robust indications.
d) Minimum Movement Filter
A configurable filter can be set to ensure that the Fisher line and its signal have a sufficient gap before triggering a buy or sell signal. This step is useful for traders seeking to minimize signals during choppy or sideways markets. This can be used to eliminate noise as well.
By combining all these elements into one package, the indicator attempts to offer a comprehensive toolkit for those who appreciate the Fisher Transform’s clarity but also desire more versatility.
5. Core Components
a) Fisher Transform
The script calculates a Fisher value using normalized price over a configurable length, highlighting potential peaks and troughs.
b) Signal Line
The Fisher line is smoothed using a short Simple Moving Average. Crossovers and crossunders are one of the key ways this indicator attempts to confirm momentum shifts.
c) Divergence Logic
The script looks back over a set number of bars to compare current highs and lows of both price and the Fisher oscillator. When price and the oscillator move in opposing directions, a divergence may occur, suggesting a possible upcoming reversal or weakening trend.
d) Thresholds for Overbought and Oversold
Horizontal lines are drawn at user-chosen overbought and oversold levels. These lines help traders see when momentum readings reach particular extremes, which can be especially relevant when combined with crossovers in that region.
e) Intensity Filter and Bar Coloring
If the magnitude of the change in the Fisher Transform meets or exceeds a specified threshold, bars are recolored. This provides a visual cue for significant momentum changes.
6. User Inputs
a) length
Defines how many bars the script looks back to compute the highest high and lowest low for the Fisher Transform. A smaller length reacts more quickly but can be noisier, while a larger length smooths out the indicator at the cost of responsiveness.
b) signal aggressiveness
Adjusts the buy and sell thresholds for conservative, moderate, and aggressive trading styles. This can be key in matching the indicator to personal risk preferences or varying market conditions. Conservative will give you less signals and aggressive will give you more signals.
c) minimum movement filter
Specifies how far apart the Fisher line and its signal line must be before generating a valid crossover signal.
d) divergence lookback
Controls how many bars are examined when determining if price and the oscillator are diverging. A larger setting might generate fewer signals, while a smaller one can provide more frequent alerts.
e) intensity threshold
Determines how large a change in the Fisher value must be for the indicator to recolor bars. Strong momentum surges become more noticeable.
f) overbought level and oversold level
Lets users define where they consider market conditions to be stretched on the upside or downside.
7. Calculation Process
a) Price Input
The script uses the midpoint of each bar’s high and low, sometimes referred to as hl2.
hl2 = (high + low) / 2
b) Range Normalization
Determine the maximum (maxHigh) and minimum (minLow) values over a user-defined lookback period (length).
Scale the hl2 value so it roughly fits between -1 and +1:
value = 2 * ((hl2 - minLow) / (maxHigh - minLow) - 0.5)
This step highlights the bar’s current position relative to its recent highs and lows.
c) Fisher Calculation
Convert the normalized value into the Fisher Transform:
fisher = 0.5 * ln( (1 + value) / (1 - value) ) + 0.5 * fisher_previous
fisher_previous is simply the Fisher value from the previous bar. Averaging half of the new transform with half of the old value smooths the result slightly and can prevent erratic jumps.
ln is the natural logarithm function, which compresses or expands values so that market turns often become more obvious.
d) Signal Smoothing
Once the Fisher value is computed, a short Simple Moving Average (SMA) is applied to produce a signal line. In code form, this often looks like:
signal = sma(fisher, 3)
Crossovers of the fisher line versus the signal line can be used to hint at changes in momentum:
• A crossover occurs when fisher moves from below to above the signal.
• A crossunder occurs when fisher moves from above to below the signal.
e) Threshold Checking
Users typically define oversold and overbought levels (often -1 and +1).
Depending on aggressiveness settings (conservative, moderate, aggressive), these thresholds are slightly shifted to filter out or include more signals.
For example, an oversold threshold of -1 might be used in a moderate setting, whereas -1.5 could be used in a conservative setting to require a deeper dip before triggering.
f) Divergence Checks
The script looks back a specified number of bars (divergenceLookback). For both price and the fisher line, it identifies:
• priceHigh = the highest hl2 within the lookback
• priceLow = the lowest hl2 within the lookback
• fisherHigh = the highest fisher value within the lookback
• fisherLow = the lowest fisher value within the lookback
If price forms a lower low while fisher forms a higher low, it can signal a bullish divergence. Conversely, if price forms a higher high while fisher forms a lower high, a bearish divergence might be indicated.
g) Bar Coloring
The script monitors the absolute change in Fisher values from one bar to the next (sometimes called fisherChange):
fisherChange = abs(fisher - fisher )
If fisherChange exceeds a user-defined intensityThreshold, bars are recolored to highlight a surge of momentum. Aqua might indicate a strong bullish surge, while purple might indicate a strong bearish surge.
This color-coding provides a quick visual cue for traders looking to spot large momentum swings without constantly monitoring indicator values.
8. Signal Generation and Filtering
Buy and sell signals occur when the Fisher line crosses the signal line in regions defined as oversold or overbought. The optional minimum movement filter prevents triggering if Fisher and its signal line are too close, reducing the chance of small, inconsequential price fluctuations creating frequent signals. Divergences that appear in oversold or overbought regions can serve as additional evidence that momentum might soon shift.
9. Visualization on the Chart
Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse plots two lines: the Fisher line in one color and the signal line in a contrasting shade. The chart displays horizontal dashed lines where the overbought and oversold levels lie. When the Fisher Transform experiences a sharp jump or drop above the intensity threshold, the corresponding price bars may change color, signaling that momentum has undergone a noticeable shift. If the indicator detects bullish or bearish divergence, dotted lines are drawn on the oscillator portion to connect the relevant points.
10. Market Adaptability
Because of the different aggressiveness levels and the optional minimum movement filter, Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse can be tailored to multiple trading styles. For instance, a short-term scalper might select a smaller length and more aggressive thresholds, while a swing trader might choose a longer length for smoother readings, along with conservative thresholds to ensure fewer but potentially stronger signals. During strongly trending markets, users might rely more on divergences or large intensity changes, whereas in a range-bound market, oversold or overbought conditions may be more frequent.
11. Risk Management Considerations
Indicators alone do not ensure favorable outcomes, and relying solely on any one signal can be risky. Using a stop-loss or other protections is often suggested, especially in fast-moving or unpredictable markets. Divergence can appear before a market reversal actually starts. Similarly, a Fisher Transform can remain in an overbought or oversold region for extended periods, especially if the trend is strong. Cautious interpretation and confirmation with additional methods or chart analysis can help refine entry and exit decisions.
12. Combining with Other Tools
Traders can potentially strengthen signals from Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse by checking them against other methods. If a moving average cross or a price pattern aligns with a Fisher crossover, the combined evidence might provide more certainty. Volume analysis may confirm whether a shift in market direction has participation from a broad set of traders. Support and resistance zones could reinforce overbought or oversold signals, particularly if price reaches a historical boundary at the same time the oscillator indicates a possible reversal.
13. Parameter Customization and Examples
Some short-term traders run a 15-minute chart, with a shorter length setting, aggressively tight oversold and overbought thresholds, and a smaller divergence lookback. This approach produces more frequent signals, which may appeal to those who enjoy fast-paced trading. More conservative traders might apply the indicator to a daily chart, using a larger length, moderate threshold levels, and a bigger divergence lookback to focus on broader market swings. Results can differ, so it may be helpful to conduct thorough historical testing to see which combination of parameters aligns best with specific goals.
14. Realistic Expectations
While the Fisher Transform can reveal potential turning points, no mathematical tool can predict future price behavior with full certainty. Markets can behave erratically, and a period of strong trending may see the oscillator pinned in an extreme zone without a significant reversal. Divergence signals sometimes appear well before an actual trend change occurs. Recognizing these limitations helps traders manage risk and avoids overreliance on any one aspect of the script’s output.
15. Theoretical Background
The Fisher Transform uses a logarithmic formula to map a normalized input, typically ranging between -1 and +1, into a scale that can fluctuate around values like -3 to +3. Because the transformation exaggerates higher and lower readings, it becomes easier to spot when the market might have stretched too far, too fast. Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse builds on that foundation by adding a series of practical tools that help confirm or refine those signals.
16. Originality and Uniqueness
Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse is not simply a duplicate of the basic Fisher Transform. It enhances the original design in several ways, including built-in divergence detection, bar-color triggers for momentum surges, thresholds for overbought and oversold levels, and customizable signal aggressiveness. By unifying these concepts, the script seeks to reduce noise and highlight meaningful shifts in market direction. It also places greater emphasis on helping traders adapt the indicator to their specific style—whether that involves frequent intraday signals or fewer, more robust alerts over longer timeframes.
17. Summary
Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse is an expanded take on the original Fisher Transform oscillator, including divergence detection, bar coloring based on momentum strength, and flexible signal thresholds. By adjusting parameters like length, aggressiveness, and intensity thresholds, traders can configure the script for day-trading, swing trading, or position trading. The indicator endeavors to highlight where price might be shifting direction, but it should still be combined with robust risk management and other analytical methods. Doing so can lead to a more comprehensive view of market conditions.
18. Disclaimer
No indicator or script can guarantee profitable outcomes in trading. Past performance does not necessarily suggest future results. Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse is provided for educational and informational purposes. Users should apply their own judgment and may want to confirm signals with other tools and methods. Deciding to open or close a position remains a personal choice based on each individual’s circumstances and risk tolerance.
JJ Highlight Time Ranges with First 5 Minutes and LabelsTo effectively use this Pine Script as a day trader , here’s how the various elements can help you manage trades, track time sessions, and monitor price movements:
Key Components for a Day Trader:
1. First 5-Minute Highlight:
- Purpose: Day traders often rely on the first 5 minutes of the trading session to gauge market sentiment, watch for opening price gaps, or plan entries. This script draws a horizontal line at the high or low of the first 5 minutes, which can act as a key level for the rest of the day.
- How to Use: If the price breaks above or below the first 5-minute line, it can signal momentum. You might enter a long position if the price breaks above the first 5-minute high or a short if it breaks below the first 5-minute low.
2. Session Time Highlights:
- Morning Session (9:15–10:30 AM): The market often shows its strongest price action during the first hour of trading. This session is highlighted in yellow. You can use this highlight to focus on the most volatile period, as this is when large institutional moves tend to occur.
- Afternoon Session (12:30–2:55 PM): The blue highlight helps you track the mid-afternoon session, where liquidity may decrease, and price action can sometimes be choppier. Day traders should be more cautious during this period.
- How to Use: By highlighting these key times, you can:
- Focus on key breakouts during the morning session.
- Be more conservative in your trades during the afternoon, as market volatility may drop.
3. Dynamic Labels:
- Top/Bottom Positioning: The script places labels dynamically based on the selected position (Top or Bottom). This allows you to quickly glance at the session's start and identify where you are in terms of time.
- How to Use: Use these labels to remind yourself when major time segments (morning or afternoon) begin. You can adjust your trading strategy depending on the session, e.g., being more aggressive in the morning and more cautious in the afternoon.
Trading Strategy Suggestions:
1. Momentum Trades:
- After the first 5 minutes, use the high/low of that period to set up breakout trades.
- Long Entry: If the price breaks the high of the first 5 minutes (especially if there's a strong trend).
- Short Entry: If the price breaks the low of the first 5 minutes, signaling a potential downtrend.
2. Session-Based Strategy:
- Morning Session (9:15–10:30 AM):
- Look for strong breakout patterns such as support/resistance levels, moving average crossovers, or candlestick patterns (like engulfing candles or pin bars).
- This is a high liquidity period, making it ideal for executing quick trades.
- Afternoon Session (12:30–2:55 PM):
- The market tends to consolidate or show less volatility. Scalping and mean-reversion strategies work better here.
- Avoid chasing big moves unless you see a clear breakout in either direction.
3. Support and Resistance:
- The first 5-minute high/low often acts as a key support or resistance level for the rest of the day. If the price holds above or below this level, it’s an indication of trend continuation.
4. Breakout Confirmation:
- Look for breakouts from the highlighted session time ranges (e.g., 9:15 AM–10:30 AM or 12:30 PM–2:55 PM).
- If a breakout happens during a key time window, combine that with other technical indicators like volume spikes , RSI , or MACD for confirmation.
---
Example Day Trader Usage:
1. First 5 Minutes Strategy: After the market opens at 9:15 AM, watch the price action for the first 5 minutes. The high and low of these 5 minutes are critical levels. If the price breaks above the high of the first 5 minutes, it might indicate a strong bullish trend for the day. Conversely, breaking below the low may suggest bearish movement.
2. Morning Session: After the first 5 minutes, focus on the **9:15 AM–10:30 AM** window. During this time, look for breakout setups at key support/resistance levels, especially when paired with high volume or momentum indicators. This is when many institutions make large trades, so price action tends to be more volatile and predictable.
3. Afternoon Session: From 12:30 PM–2:55 PM, the market might experience lower volatility, making it ideal for scalping or range-bound strategies. You could look for reversals or fading strategies if the market becomes too quiet.
Conclusion:
As a day trader, you can use this script to:
- Track and react to key price levels during the first 5 minutes.
- Focus on high volatility in the morning session (9:15–10:30 AM) and **be cautious** during the afternoon.
- Use session-based timing to adjust your strategies based on the time of day.
Fibonacci Extensions and Retracements for Selected TimeframesPurpose of the Script
This script plots Fibonacci levels (retracements and extensions) based on the high and low points of the previous day, previous week, or previous month. It is a trading aid to help identify potential support and resistance zones. These zones are often used by traders to determine entry or exit points for trades.
How It Works
Select Timeframe
The trader can choose whether to calculate Fibonacci levels based on the high and low points of the previous day, previous week, or previous month.
This is selected using the timeframe_input input.
Examples:
"D" for the previous day
"W" for the previous week
"M" for the previous month
Calculate Price Range
The script calculates the price range using the high and low of the selected timeframe:
Formula: price_range = High - Low
Draw Fibonacci Levels
Retracements: Within the price range, Fibonacci levels such as 12%, 23%, 38%, 50%, 61%, 78%, and 88% are calculated. These help identify potential support or resistance zones.
Extensions: Beyond the price range, Fibonacci extensions such as 127%, 161%, 200%, 224%, and 241% are plotted to indicate potential breakout targets.
Visualization
The script plots lines and labels for each level.
These lines extend to the right, providing real-time guidance during trading.
Colors and line styles can be customized to match personal preferences.
How to Use as a Trading Aid
Use Fibonacci Retracements:
Use retracements (e.g., 38%, 50%, 61%) to identify potential support or resistance zones.
Example: If the price dropped sharply the previous day, the retracement levels could act as support during a rebound.
Use Fibonacci Extensions:
Extensions help identify price targets when the price breaks above or below the high or low of the previous day, week, or month.
Example: After a breakout above the previous week’s high, the 127% or 161% level could serve as a target.
Adjust Timeframe:
Choose the timeframe that suits your strategy:
Intraday traders can use the previous day’s high and low.
Swing traders might prefer the previous week.
Long-term traders could work with the previous month.
Example
A trader selects the weekly timeframe (W) to analyze the high and low of the previous week:
The script calculates the price range based on the high and low of the previous week.
Fibonacci retracements (e.g., 50% and 61%) are drawn to identify potential support zones.
Fibonacci extensions (e.g., 127% and 161%) help define price targets for a potential breakout above or below the range.
Pivot Highs/Lows with Bar CountsWhat does the indicator do?
This indicator adds labels to a chart at swing (a.k.a., "pivot") highs and lows. Each label may contain a date, the closing price at the swing, the number of bars since the last swing in the same direction, and the number of bars from the last swing in the opposite direction. A table is also added to the chart that shows the average, min, and max number of bars between swings.
OK, but how do I use it?
Many markets -- especially sideways-moving ones -- commonly cycle between swing highs and lows at regular time intervals. By measuring the number of bars between highs and lows -- both same-sided swings (i.e., H-H and L-L) and opposite-sided swings (i.e., H-L and L-H) -- you can then project the averages of those bar counts from the last high or low swing to make predictions about where the next swing high or low should occur. Note that this indicator does not make the projection for you. You have to determine which swing you want to project from and then use the bar counts from the indicator to draw a line, place a label, etc.
Example: Chart of BTC/USD
The indicator shows pivot highs and lows with bar counts, and it displays a table of stats on those pivots.
If you focus on the center section of the chart, you can see that prices were moving in a sideways channel with very regular highs and lows. This indicator counts the bars between these pivots, and you could have used those counts to predict when the next high or low may have occurred.
The bar counts do not work as well on the more recent section of the chart because there are no regularly time swings.
AiTrend Pattern Matrix for kNN Forecasting (AiBitcoinTrend)The AiTrend Pattern Matrix for kNN Forecasting (AiBitcoinTrend) is a cutting-edge indicator that combines advanced mathematical modeling, AI-driven analytics, and segment-based pattern recognition to forecast price movements with precision. This tool is designed to provide traders with deep insights into market dynamics by leveraging multivariate pattern detection and sophisticated predictive algorithms.
👽 Core Features
Segment-Based Pattern Recognition
At its heart, the indicator divides price data into discrete segments, capturing key elements like candle bodies, high-low ranges, and wicks. These segments are normalized using ATR-based volatility adjustments to ensure robustness across varying market conditions.
AI-Powered k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN) Prediction
The predictive engine uses the kNN algorithm to identify the closest historical patterns in a multivariate dictionary. By calculating the distance between current and historical segments, the algorithm determines the most likely outcomes, weighting predictions based on either proximity (distance) or averages.
Dynamic Dictionary of Historical Patterns
The indicator maintains a rolling dictionary of historical patterns, storing multivariate data for:
Candle body ranges, High-low ranges, Wick highs and lows.
This dynamic approach ensures the model adapts continuously to evolving market conditions.
Volatility-Normalized Forecasting
Using ATR bands, the indicator normalizes patterns, reducing noise and enhancing the reliability of predictions in high-volatility environments.
AI-Driven Trend Detection
The indicator not only predicts price levels but also identifies market regimes by comparing current conditions to historically significant highs, lows, and midpoints. This allows for clear visualizations of trend shifts and momentum changes.
👽 Deep Dive into the Core Mathematics
👾 Segment-Based Multivariate Pattern Analysis
The indicator analyzes price data by dividing each bar into distinct segments, isolating key components such as:
Body Ranges: Differences between the open and close prices.
High-Low Ranges: Capturing the full volatility of a bar.
Wick Extremes: Quantifying deviations beyond the body, both above and below.
Each segment contributes uniquely to the predictive model, ensuring a rich, multidimensional understanding of price action. These segments are stored in a rolling dictionary of patterns, enabling the indicator to reference historical behavior dynamically.
👾 Volatility Normalization Using ATR
To ensure robustness across varying market conditions, the indicator normalizes patterns using Average True Range (ATR). This process scales each component to account for the prevailing market volatility, allowing the algorithm to compare patterns on a level playing field regardless of differing price scales or fluctuations.
👾 k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN) Algorithm
The AI core employs the kNN algorithm, a machine-learning technique that evaluates the similarity between the current pattern and a library of historical patterns.
Euclidean Distance Calculation:
The indicator computes the multivariate distance across four distinct dimensions: body range, high-low range, wick low, and wick high. This ensures a comprehensive and precise comparison between patterns.
Weighting Schemes: The contribution of each pattern to the forecast is either weighted by its proximity (distance) or averaged, based on user settings.
👾 Prediction Horizon and Refinement
The indicator forecasts future price movements (Y_hat) by predicting logarithmic changes in the price and projecting them forward using exponential scaling. This forecast is smoothed using a user-defined EMA filter to reduce noise and enhance actionable clarity.
👽 AI-Driven Pattern Recognition
Dynamic Dictionary of Patterns: The indicator maintains a rolling dictionary of N multivariate patterns, continuously updated to reflect the latest market data. This ensures it adapts seamlessly to changing market conditions.
Nearest Neighbor Matching: At each bar, the algorithm identifies the most similar historical pattern. The prediction is based on the aggregated outcomes of the closest neighbors, providing confidence levels and directional bias.

‣Amplitude: Measures the price range (high - low) over a specified short-term period.
‣Cumulative Amplitude: Aggregates amplitude over a defined longer-term period.
‣Percentage Representation: shows amplitude relative to the open price from `amp_length` bars ago, providing a normalized view.
‣Interpretation:
Large Amplitude Values: Indicate high volatility.
Small Amplitude Values: Indicate low volatility.
✦Trend Identification:
‣Uptrend: Consistently positive amplitudes and upward-moving averages.
‣Downtrend: Consistently negative amplitudes and downward-moving averages.
✦Overbought/Oversold Conditions:
‣High Positive Amplitude: May indicate overbought conditions and potential reversals.
‣High Negative Amplitude: May indicate oversold conditions and potential reversals.
✦Volatility Analysis:
‣High Amplitude Values: Suggest increased market volatility.
‣Low Amplitude Values: Suggest reduced market volatility.
✦Signal Confirmation:
‣Moving Average Crossovers: Confirm the strength and direction of trends, aiding in informed trading decisions.
✦Trading Strategies:
‣ Breakout Trading: Large increases in amplitude can signal potential breakouts.
‣ Mean Reversion: Extreme amplitude values may indicate upcoming price corrections.

Implied Orderblock Breaker (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Implied Order Block Breaker (Zeiierman) is a tool designed to identify enhanced order blocks with imbalances. These enhanced order blocks represent areas where there is a rapid price movement. Essentially, this indicator uses order blocks and suggests that a swift price movement away from these levels, breaking the current market structure, could indicate an area that the market has not correctly valued. This technique offers traders a unique method to identify potential market inefficiencies and imbalances, serving as a guide for potential price revisits.
The indicator doesn't scan for imbalances in the traditional sense — where there's an absence of trades between two price levels — but instead, it identifies quick movements away from key levels that suggest where an imbalance might exist. Relying on crossovers and cross-unders in conjunction with pivot points and examining the high/low within the same period provides an innovative method for traders to spot these potentially undervalued or overvalued areas in the market. These inferred imbalances can be crucial for traders looking for price levels where the market might make significant moves.
█ How It Works
Bullish
Crossover: The closing price of a bar crosses above a pivot high, which is an indication that buyers are in control and pushing the price upwards.
New Low Within Period: There is a lower low within the same period as the pivot high. This suggests that after setting a high, the market pulled back to set a new low, potentially leaving a price gap on the way up as the price quickly recovers.
Bearish
Crossunder: The closing price of a bar crosses under a pivot low, indicating that sellers are taking control and driving the price down.
New High Within Period: There is a higher high within the same period as the pivot low. This condition suggests that the market rallied to a new high before falling back below the pivot low, potentially leaving a gap on the way down.
█ How to Use
The enhanced order blocks are often revisited, and the price may aim to 'fill' the potential imbalance created by the rapid price movement, thereby presenting traders with potential entry or exit points. This approach aligns with the idea that imbalances are frequently revisited by the market, and when combined with the context of Order Blocks, it provides even more confluence.
Example
Here, if the price drops rapidly after setting a new high—crossing under the pivot low—it may skip over certain price levels, creating a 'gap' that signifies an area where the price might have been overvalued (imbalance), which the market may revisit for a potential price correction or revaluation.
█ Settings
Period: Determines the number of bars used for identifying pivot highs and lows. A higher value gives more significant but less frequent signals, while a lower value increases sensitivity but might give more false positives.
Pivot Surrounding: Specifies the number of candles to analyze around a pivot point. Increasing this value broadens the analysis range, potentially capturing more setups but possibly including less significant ones.

Index Kill Zones - SMC IndicatorsWhat are Index Kill Zones?
Index Kill Zones are specific Time Windows of opportunity during the Session for Indices that have the potential for the highest volatility and where looking for trading opportunities is ideal.
The Index Kill Zone Indicator is specifically designed for the SP500, NQ100, and DJ30, Markets. What differentiates this script from other Kill Zones scripts is that this script is based on NY Midnight as the basis for the start of the day.
This is not the usual below-average Index Kill Zone indicator because this indicator does not only show the 3 main Kill Zones or Sessions, but it also offers extra Kill Zones within each session that are called "AM Session", "PM Session", the "Launch Hour", the "Silver Bullet for the London, AM, and PM Sessions", and the "Last Hour" for the London, AM, and PM sessions.
Another key differentiator of this indicator's functionality is that it shows the highs and lows of each Kill zone allowing SMC traders to monitor Time-Based Liquidity above the highs and lows of each trading session.
By splitting each trading day into AM and PM Sessions, we can identify 3 types of potential daily profiles. These daily profiles could be used as conceptual templates as to what to expect from the price during a certain day. The 6 templates are the following:
1. Two Sessions Up: Where the price would go in one direction higher during both the AM and PM Sessions.
2. Two Sessions Down: Where the price would go in one direction lower during both the AM and PM Sessions.
3. AM Rally, then PM Decline: The price would go higher during the AM session and then lower during the PM Session.
4. AM Decline, then PM Rally: The price would go lower during the AM session and then higher during the PM Session.
5. Consolidation, AM Rally, then PM Decline: Where the price would consolidate most of the AM Session, then go higher into the last hour, and then reverse and go lower during the PM Session.
5. Consolidation, AM Decline, then PM Rally: Where the price would consolidate most of the AM Session, then go lower into the last hour, and then reverse and go higher during the PM Session.
Within each AM and PM Session, there is a "Silver Bullet" that acts as a time window of opportunity to get into a continuation trade in the direction of the prevailing trend.
Also, within each AM and PM Session, there is a "Last Hour" that acts as a time window of opportunity to get into a trade in the direction of the potential trend if the price has not moved yet, or as a reversal trade opportunity if the price has already ran previous short-term highs or lows.
Finally, we have also incorporated a Notification function to remind the trader of the start of the trading Kill Zones to not miss out on potential trade opportunities.

Bonus Features
Daily & Weekly Open Price Levels
The Open Price levels draw a horizontal line from the start of the trading day at 00:00 NY midnight, and it extends it towards the end of the trading day.
This is useful for understanding where the price is relative to the daily candle.
When Bullish, the trader should look for setups at or below the daily or weekly open price.
When Bearish, the trader should look for setups at or above the daily or weekly open price.
Whether to choose the Daily or Weekly open price depends on the trader's trading style. If the trader is day trading or scaling, then it's more appropriate to choose the Daily Open Price.
However, Day Traders can also use the Weekly candle to align with the Weekly Candle's expected range direction.
On the other hand, if the trader is a Swing Trader and wants to capitalise on the weekly candle's trend, then it's more appropriate to choose the Weekly Open Price.
However, Swing Traders can also use the Daily Open Price when looking to take a trade to time better entries with a high risk-to-reward ratio.
Daily Open Price Level (in Green) and Weekly Open Price Level (in White)
Kill Zones Open Price Level
This is useful if the trader is an intra-session trader and wants to treat the sessions as the daily candle. In this case, the trader can use the Kill Zones Open Price levels based on the same logic of the Daily Open Price, where the trade would look for buy opportunities below the Session's open price and look for sell opportunities above the Session's Open Price Level.
Notifications
The trader can also receive alerts as a reminder at the start of the desired session to ensure that he or she does not miss the start of the trading session.
