Overview
The most important condition for being successful and profitable in the market is to consistently follow the same rules without compromise, while the price constantly moves in countless different ways.
Regardless of the concept or trading school, those who have rules win.
In this indicator, we will define and use three main sections to set and apply our rules.
The indicator uses the VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) — price weighted by volume.
Two VWAPs can be displayed either by manually entering date and time, or by selecting from the menu.
From the menu, you can select the following reference levels:
• HTF Open: Opening candle of the higher timeframe
• ATH / ATL: All-Time High / All-Time Low candles
• PMH / PML, PWH / PWL, PDH / PDL, PH4H / PH4L: Previous Month, Week, Day, or H4 Highs/Lows
• MH / ML, WH / WL, DH / DL, H4H / H4L: Current Month, Week, Day, or H4 Highs/Lows
Additionally, it includes:
• Mitigation / Order Block zones (local buyer-seller balance) across two timeframes.
• Buy/Sell Side Liquidity levels (BSL / SSL) from the aligned higher timeframe (target levels).
________________________________________
Components and Usage
1 – VWAP
Calculated using the classical method:
• High + Volume for the upper value
• Close + Volume for the middle value
• Low + Volume for the lower value
The VWAP is displayed as a colored band, where the coloring represents the bias.
Let’s call this band FVB (Fair Value Band) for ease of explanation.
The FVB represents the final line of defense, the buyer/seller boundary, and in technical terms, it can be viewed as premium/discount zones or support/resistance levels.
Within this critical area, the strong side continues its move, while the weaker side is forced to retreat.
But does the side that breaks beyond the band always keep going?
We all know that’s not always the case — in different pairs and timeframes, price often violates both the upper and lower edges multiple times.
To achieve more consistent analysis, we’ll define a new set of rules.
________________________________________
2 – Mitigation / Order Blocks
In trading literature, there are dozens of different definitions and uses of mitigation or order blocks.
Here, we will interpret the candlesticks to create our own definition, and we’ll use the zones defined by candles that fit this pattern.
For simplicity, let’s abbreviate mitigation as “mtg.”
For a candle to be selected as an mtg, it must clearly show strength from one side (buyers or sellers) — which can also be observed visually on the chart.
________________________________________
Bullish mtg criteria:
1. The first candle must be bullish (close > open) → buyers are strong.
2. The next candle makes a new high (buyers push higher) but fails to close above and pulls back to close inside the previous range → sellers react.
It also must not break the previous low → buyers defend.
3. In the following candle(s), as long as the first candle’s low is protected and the second candle’s high is broken, it indicates buyer strength → a bullish mtg is confirmed.
When price returns to this zone later (gets mitigated), the expectation is that the zone holds and price pushes upward again.
If the low is violated, the mtg becomes invalid.
In technical terms:
If the previous candle’s high is broken but no close occurs above it, the expectation is a reversal move that will retest its low.
Question:
What if the low is protected and in the next candle(s) a new high forms?
Answer: → Bullish mtg.
Bearish mtg (opposite)
3 – Buy/Sell Side Liquidity Levels
With the help of the aligned higher timeframe (swing points), we will define our market structure framework and set our liquidity targets accordingly.
Let’s put the pieces together.
If we continue explaining from a trade-focused perspective, our first priority should be our bias — our projection or expectation of the market’s potential movement.
We will determine this bias using the FVB.
Since we know the band often gets violated on both sides, we want the price action to convince us of its strength.
To do that, we’ll use the first candle that closes beyond the band.
The distance from that candle’s high to low will be our threshold range
Bullish level = high + (candle length × coefficient)
Bearish level = low - (candle length × coefficient)
When the price closes beyond this threshold, it demonstrates strength, and our bias will now align in that direction.
How long will this bias remain valid?
→ Until a closing candle appears on the opposite side of the band.
If a close occurs on the opposite side, then a new bias will only be confirmed once the new threshold level is broken.
During the period in between, we have no bias.
Let’s continue on the chart:
Now that our bias has been established, where and how do we look for trade opportunities?
There are two possible entry approaches:
• Aggressive entry: Enter immediately with the breakout.
• Conservative entry: Wait for a pullback and enter once a suitable structure forms.
(The choice depends on the user’s preference.)
At this stage, the user can apply their own entry model. Let’s give an example:
Let’s assume we’re looking for setups using HTF sweep + LTF CISD confirmation.
Once our bias turns bearish, we look for an HTF sweep forming on or near an FVB or mtg block, and then confirm the entry with a CISD signal.
In summary:
• FVB defines the bias, the entry zone, and the target zone.
• Mtg blocks represent entry zones.
• BSL / SSL levels suggest target zones.
Overlapping FVB and mtg blocks are expected to be more effective.
The indicator also provides an option for a second FVB.
A band attached to a lower timeframe can be used as confirmation.
• Main band: Bias + FVB
• Extra band: Entry trigger confirmed by a close beyond it.
Mtg blocks can provide trade entry opportunities, especially when the price is moving strongly in one direction (flow).
Consecutive or complementary mtg blocks indicate that the price is decisive in one direction, while sometimes also showing areas where we should wait before entering.
Mtg blocks that contain an FVG (Fair Value Gap) within their body are expected to be more effective.
Settings:
The default values are set to 1-3-5m, optimized for scalping trades.
VWAP settings:
Main VWAP (FVB):
• Can be set by selecting a start time, manually entering date and time, or choosing a predefined level.
Extra VWAP (FVB):
• Set from the menu. If not needed, select “none.”
• Visibility, color, and fill settings for VWAP are located here.
• Threshold levels visibility and color options are also in this section.
• The multiplier is used for calculating the threshold level.
Important:
• If the Extra VWAP is selected but not displayed, you need to increase the chart timeframe.
o Example: If the chart is on 3m and you select WH from the extra options, it will not display correctly.
• Upper limits for VWAP:
o 1m and 3m charts: daily High/Low
o 5m chart: weekly High/Low
________________________________________
Mtg Settings:
• Visibility and color settings for blocks are configured here.
• To display on a second timeframe, the box must be checked and the timeframe specified.
• Optional display modes: “only active blocks,” “only last violated mtg,” or “all.”
• For confirmation and removal criteria, choosing high/low or close determines the source used for mtg block formation and deletion conditions.
BSL/SSL Settings:
• Visibility, color, font size, and line style can be configured in this section.
When “Auto” is selected, the aligned timeframe is determined automatically by the indicator, while in manual mode, the user defines the timeframe.
Final Words:
Simply opening trades every time the price touches the VWAP or mtg blocks will not make you a profitable trader. Searching for setups with similar structures while maintaining proper risk management will yield better results in the long run.
I would be happy to hear your feedback and suggestions.
Happy trading!

Wyckoff Effort vs. Result📌 Wyckoff Effort vs. Result (E/R) – Visualizing Supply & Demand Imbalance with Volume Confirmation
📖 Overview
The Wyckoff Effort vs. Result (E/R) indicator is designed to help traders interpret market behavior through the lens of volume vs. price movement — a foundational concept in Richard Wyckoff’s methodology.
This tool aims to highlight moments where the “effort” (volume) is not in proportion to the “result” (price movement) — giving insight into potential accumulation or distribution events.
By detecting high-volume candles and classifying them based on their price direction, the indicator visualizes zones where smart money might be active .
⚙️ How It Works
1. Effort Accumulation (High Volume Down Bar):
• When a candle closes lower than it opens (down bar) and has above-average volume , it’s marked as potential absorption of selling pressure (effort to push down met by buying).
• These candles are colored red and the open level is plotted, acting as a potential support or re-test zone.
2. Effort Distribution (High Volume Up Bar):
• When a candle closes higher than it opens (up bar) and has above-average volume , it’s marked as potential distribution (effort to push up absorbed by sellers).
• These candles are colored green and the open level is plotted , acting as a potential resistance or rejection zone.
3. Average Volume Calculation:
• The script calculates a simple moving average (SMA) of volume over a user-defined lookback period.
• If current volume exceeds the average multiplied by a set threshold, it’s treated as a high-effort bar .
🧪 Inputs
Input Description
Average Volume Lookback - Number of bars used to calculate the volume average
High Volume Multiplier. - Multiplier to define what qualifies as “high volume”
🖥️ Visual Output
• 🔴 Red candles = High volume on a down bar → possible accumulation
• 🟢 Green candles = High volume on an up bar → possible distribution
• 📉 Horizontal lines at bar open price mark the potential zones where effort occurred
These zones can serve as:
• Areas of support/resistance
• Trap zones where smart money absorbs liquidity
• Entry/exit filters when combined with price action
🧠 How to Use
• Use in combination with price structure, support/resistance, and volume profile tools
• Watch how price reacts when it revisits the plotted lines
• Look for effort bars that fail to lead to continuation, signaling potential reversal
• Can be used in scalping, swing trading, or Wyckoff-style phase analysis
🔒 Technical Notes
• ✅ Does not repaint
• ✅ Built with Pine Script v6
• ✅ Lightweight and customizable
• ❌ Does not generate buy/sell signals — it provides context, not predictions
1m Scalping ATR (with SL & Zones)A universal ATR indicator that anchors volatility to your stop-loss.
Read any market (FX, JPY pairs, Gold/Silver, indices, crypto) consistently—regardless of pip/point conventions and timeframe.
Why this indicator?
Classic ATR is absolute (pips/points) and feels different across markets/TFs. ATR Takeoff normalizes ATR to your stop-loss in pips and highlights clear zones for “quiet / ideal / too volatile,” so you instantly know if a 10-pip SL fits current conditions.
Key features
Auto pip detection (FX, JPY, XAU/XAG, indices, BTC/ETH).
Selectable ATR source: chart timeframe or fixed ATR TF (e.g., “15”, “30”, “60”).
Display modes:
Percent of SL – ATR relative to SL in %, great for M1 (typical 10–30%).
Multiple of SL – ATR as a multiple of SL (e.g., 0.6× / 1.0× / 1.2×).
Panel zones:
Green = “Ready for takeoff” (≤ Low), Yellow = reference (Mid), Red = too volatile (≥ High).
Status badge (top-right): Quiet / ATR ok / Wild, current ATR/SL value, ATR TF used.
Direction-agnostic: Works the same for longs and shorts.
Inputs (at a glance)
Length / Smoothing (RMA/SMA/EMA/WMA): ATR base settings.
Your Stop-Loss (Pips): Reference SL (e.g., 10).
ATR Timeframe (empty = chart): Use chart TF or a fixed TF.
Display Mode: “Percent of SL” or “Multiple of SL.”
Low/Mid/High (Percent Mode): Zone thresholds in % of SL.
Low/Mid/High (Multiple Mode): Zone thresholds in ×SL.
Recommended defaults
Length 14, Smoothing RMA, SL 10 pips
Display Mode: Percent of SL
Low/Mid/High (%): 15 / 20 / 25
ATR Timeframe: empty (= chart) for reactive, or “30” for smoother M30 context with M1 entries.
How to use
Set SL (pips). 2) Choose display mode. 3) Optionally pick ATR TF.
Interpretation:
≤ Low (green): setups allowed.
≈ Mid (yellow): neutral reference.
≥ High (red): too volatile → adjust SL/size or wait.
Note: Auto-pip relies on common ticker naming; verify on exotic symbols.

Select the timeframes you want to monitor (e.g. 3m, 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, D, W).
Watch for alignment between lower and higher timeframes:
When all turn green → strong bullish alignment → consider longs.
When all turn red → strong bearish alignment → consider shorts.
Mixed colors indicate consolidation or correction phases.
Combine it with your favorite Fair Value Gap, CHOCH/BOS, or Liquidity Sweep strategy to significantly improve trade timing and confidence.
🧩 Author’s Note
This indicator is designed for traders who want fast, visual confirmation of multi-timeframe structure without cluttering their charts.
It’s simple, lightweight, and highly adaptable — whether you’re scalping on 3-minute charts or swing trading daily candles.
Reversal Probability Meter PRO [optimized for Xau/Usd m5]🎯 Reversal Probability Meter PRO
A powerful multi-factor reversal probability detector that calculates the likelihood of bullish or bearish reversals using RSI, EMA bias, ATR spikes, candle patterns, volume spikes, and higher timeframe (HTF) trend alignment.
🧩 MAIN FEATURES
1. Reversal Probability (Bullish & Bearish)
Displays two key metrics:
Bull % — probability of bullish reversal
Bear % — probability of bearish reversal
These are computed using RSI, EMAs, ATR, demand/supply zones, candle confirmations, and volume spikes.
📊 Interpretation:
Bull % > 70% → Buying pressure building up
Bull % > 85% → Strong bullish reversal confirmed
Bear % > 70% → Selling pressure building up
Bear % > 85% → Strong bearish reversal confirmed
2. Alert Probability Threshold
Adjustable via alertThreshold (default = 85%).
Alerts trigger only when probability ≥ threshold, and confirmed by zone + volume spike + candle pattern.
🔔 Alerts Available:
✅ Bullish Smart Reversal
🔻 Bearish Smart Reversal
To activate: Right-click chart → “Add alert” → choose the alert condition from the indicator.
3. Demand / Supply Zone Detection
The script determines the price position within the last zoneLook (default 30) bars:
🟢 DEMAND → Lower 35% of range (potential bounce zone)
🔴 SUPPLY → Upper 35% of range (potential rejection zone)
⚪ MID → Neutral area
📘 Purpose: Validates reversals based on context:
Bullish only valid in Demand zones
Bearish only valid in Supply zones
4. Higher Timeframe (HTF) Trend Alignment
Reads EMA bias from a higher timeframe (default = 15m) for trend confirmation.
Reversals against HTF trend are automatically weighted down prevents false countertrend signals.
📈 Example:
M5 chart under M15 downtrend → Bullish probability is reduced.
5. Candle Confirmation Patterns
Two key price action confirmations:
Bullish: Engulfing or Pin Bar
Bearish: Engulfing or Pin Bar
A valid reversal requires both a candle confirmation and a volume spike.
6. Volume & ATR Spike Filters
Volume Spike: volume > SMA(20) × 1.3
ATR Spike: ATR > SMA(ATR, 50) × volMult
🎯 Ensures that only strong market moves with real energy are considered valid reversals.
7. Reversal Momentum Histogram
A color-gradient oscillator showing the momentum difference:
Green = bullish dominance
Red = bearish dominance
Flat near 0 = neutral
Controlled by showOscillator toggle.
8. Smart Info Panel
A compact dashboard displayed on the top-right with 4 rows:
Row Info Description
1 Bull % Bullish reversal probability
2 Bear % Bearish reversal probability
3 Zone Market context (DEMAND / SUPPLY / MID)
4 Signal Strength Current signal intensity (probability %)
Dynamic Colors:
90% → Bright (strong signal)
75–90% → Yellow/Orange (medium)
<75% → Gray (weak)
9. Sensitivity Mode
Fine-tunes indicator reactivity:
🟥 Aggressive: Detects reversals early (more signals, less accurate)
🟨 Normal: Balanced, default mode
🟩 Conservative: Filters only strongest reversals (fewer but more reliable)
10. Custom Color Options
Customize bullish and bearish colors via bullBaseColor and bearBaseColor inputs for your preferred chart theme.
⚙️ HOW TO USE
Add to Chart
→ Paste the script into Pine Editor → “Add to chart”.
Select Timeframe
→ Best for M5–M30 (scalping/intraday).
→ H1–H4 for swing trading.
Monitor the Info Panel:
Bull % ≥ 85% + Zone = Demand → Strong bullish reversal signal
Bear % ≥ 85% + Zone = Supply → Strong bearish reversal signal
Watch the Histogram:
Rising green bars = bullish momentum gaining
Deep red bars = bearish momentum gaining
Enable Alerts:
Right-click chart → “Add alert”
Choose Bullish Smart Reversal or Bearish Smart Reversal
🧠 TRADING TIPS
Use Conservative mode for noisy lower timeframes (M5–M15).
Use Aggressive mode for higher timeframes (H1–H4).
Combine with manual support/resistance or zone boxes for precision entries. Personally i use Order Block.
Best reversal setups occur when all align:
Bull % > 85%
Zone = DEMAND
Volume spike present
Candle = Bullish engulfing
HTF trend supportive

Volume Analysis
Detects unusual volume spikes that indicate large players entering
Compares current volume to 20-period average
Institutional trades create volume 2-5x normal levels
Order Flow
Delta: Difference between buying and selling volume
Positive delta = More buying pressure

Institutions leave "footprints" in order flow
Price Action Patterns
Bullish Rejection Wicks:
| <- Small upper wick
|
███ <- Small body
███
|
|
| <- Large lower wick (rejection)
Indicates institutions bought aggressively at lower prices
Bearish Rejection Wicks:
|
|
| <- Large upper wick (rejection)
|
███ <- Small body
███
| <- Small lower wick
Indicates institutions sold aggressively at higher prices
Liquidity Grabs
Institutions often:
Push price above resistance or below support
Trigger stop losses (grab liquidity)
Reverse direction and trade the other way
Dark Pool Activity
Large block trades executed off-exchange:
High volume with minimal price movement
Indicates institutional accumulation/distribution without moving price
3. Signal Interpretation {#signals}
Signal Types:
🟢 INSTITUTIONAL BUY Signal
Appears as green triangle below candle with strength number (2-5)
What it means:
Institutions are actively accumulating (buying)
Higher strength = More confirmation factors
Strength Levels:
2-3: Moderate confidence - Wait for confirmation
4: High confidence - Strong institutional interest
5: Maximum confidence - Multiple factors aligned
🔴 INSTITUTIONAL SELL Signal
Appears as red triangle above candle with strength number (2-5)
What it means:
Institutions are actively distributing (selling)
Higher strength = More confirmation factors
🟠 Dark Pool (DP) Marker
Small orange diamond
What it means:
Large block trade executed
Accumulation/distribution happening quietly
Often precedes significant moves
Liquidity Zones
Red boxes above price = Resistance/sell liquidity

6. Best Practices {#best-practices}
✅ DO's:
1. Use Multiple Timeframes
Check higher timeframe for trend direction
Trade signals that align with higher timeframe
Example: 15m signals in direction of 1H trend
2. Combine with Key Levels
Support/resistance
Supply/demand zones
Previous day high/low
Round numbers (psychological levels)
3. Wait for Confirmation
Don't rush into trades
Let the signal candle close
Watch next candle for follow-through
4. Check the Metrics Table
Look at Relative Volume (should be >2.0)
Check Delta % (should be strong positive/negative)
Verify Order Flow aligns with signal
5. Consider Market Context
News events can override signals
Low liquidity times (lunch, overnight) less reliable
Major economic releases need caution
6. Paper Trade First
Test the indicator for 2-4 weeks
Learn how it behaves on your chosen assets
Develop confidence before using real money
Best Times to Trade:
Stock Market Hours:
9:30-11:30 AM EST (high volume, strong moves)
2:00-4:00 PM EST (institutional positioning)
Avoid: 11:30 AM-2:00 PM (lunch, low volume)
Forex:
London Open: 3:00-6:00 AM EST
New York Open: 8:00-11:00 AM EST
London/NY Overlap: 8:00 AM-12:00 PM EST
Crypto:
24/7 market, but highest volume during US/European hours
Watch for weekend low liquidity
7. Common Mistakes to Avoid {#mistakes}
❌ DON'T:
1. Trade Every Signal
Not all signals are equal
Focus on strength 4-5 signals
Wait for optimal setups
2. Ignore Market Structure
Don't buy into strong downtrends (catch falling knife)
Don't sell into strong uptrends (fight the tape)
Respect major support/resistance
3. Use Too Small Timeframes
1m and 2m charts are too noisy
Minimum recommended: 5m for scalping
Better: 15m, 30m, 1H for reliability
4. Overtrade
Quality over quantity
2-5 good trades per day is excellent
Forcing trades leads to losses
5. Ignore Risk Management
Always use stop losses
Risk only 1-2% per trade
Don't revenge trade after losses
6. Trade During Low Volume
Signals less reliable with low volume
Check Relative Volume metric (should be >1.5)
Avoid pre-market/after-hours for stocks
7. Misread Liquidity Grabs
Not every wick is a liquidity grab
Need volume confirmation
Must have institutional signal
Advanced Tips:
Filtering False Signals:
Use Signal Strength Filter:
Minimum strength 3 = Balanced
Minimum strength 4 = Conservative (recommended)
Minimum strength 5 = Ultra conservative
Confluence Checklist:
Signal strength ≥ 4
Relative volume > 2.0
At key support/resistance
Aligns with higher timeframe trend
Delta % strongly positive/negative
Clean price action setup
If 4+ boxes checked = High probability trade
Setting Up Alerts:
Click the three dots on the indicator
Select "Create Alert"
Choose condition:
"Institutional Buy Signal"
"Institutional Sell Signal"
"Dark Pool Activity"
Set up notification (email, SMS, app)
Save alert
Alert Strategy:
Set minimum strength to 4 for fewer, better alerts
Use for assets you can't watch constantly
Don't rely solely on alerts - check chart context
Practice Exercise:
Week 1-2: Observation
Add indicator to your favorite assets
Watch how signals develop
Note which ones lead to profitable moves
Don't trade yet - just observe
Week 3-4: Paper Trading
Use TradingView's paper trading
Trade only strength 4-5 signals
Record results in a journal
Note: entry, exit, profit/loss, what worked/didn't
Week 5+: Small Live Positions
Start with smallest position size
Trade only your best setups
Gradually increase size as you gain confidence
Keep detailed journal

Session Volume Spike Detector (MTF Arrows)Overview
The Session Volume Spike Detector is a precision multi-timeframe (MTF) tool that identifies sudden surges in buy or sell volume during key market windows. It highlights high-impact institutional participation by comparing current volume against its historical baseline and short-term highs, then plots directional markers on your chart.
This version adds MTF awareness, showing spikes from 1-minute, 5-minute, and 10-minute frames on a single chart. It’s ideal for traders monitoring microstructure shifts across multiple time compressions while staying on a fast chart (like 1-second or 1-minute).
Key Features
Dual Session Windows (DST-aware)
Automatically tracks Morning (05:30–08:30 MT) and Midday (11:00–13:30 MT) activity, adjusted for daylight savings.
Directional Spike Detection
Flags Buy spikes (green triangles) and Sell spikes (magenta triangles) using dynamic volume gates, Z-Score normalization, and recent-bar jump filters.
Multi-Timeframe Projection
Displays higher-timeframe (1m / 5m / 10m) spikes directly on your active chart for continuous visual context — even on sub-minute intervals.
Adaptive Volume Logic
Each spike is validated against:
Volume ≥ SMA × multiplier
Volume ≥ recent-high × jump factor
Optional Z-Score threshold for statistical significance
Session-Only Filtering
Ensures spikes are only plotted within specified trading sessions — ideal for futures or intraday equity traders.
Configurable Alerts
Built-in alert conditions for:
Any timeframe (MTF aggregate)

Triple Gaussian Smoothed Ribbon [BOSWaves]Triple Gaussian Smoothed Ribbon – Adaptive Gaussian Framework
Overview
The Triple Gaussian Smoothed Ribbon is a next-generation market visualization framework built on the principles of Gaussian filtering - a mathematical model from digital signal processing designed to remove noise while preserving the integrity of the underlying trend.
Unlike conventional moving averages that suffer from phase lag and overreaction to volatility spikes, Gaussian smoothing produces a symmetrical, low-lag curve that isolates meaningful directional shifts with exceptional clarity.
Developed under the Adaptive Gaussian Framework, this indicator extends the classical Gaussian model into a multi-stage smoothing and visualization system. By layering three progressive Gaussian filters and rendering their interactions as a gradient-based ribbon field, it translates market energy into a coherent, visually structured trend environment. Each ribbon layer represents a progressively smoothed component of price motion, producing a high-fidelity gradient field that evolves in sync with real-time trend strength and momentum.
The result is a uniquely fluid trend and reversal detection system - one that feels organic, adapts seamlessly across timeframes, and reveals hidden transitions in market structure long before traditional indicators confirm them.
Theoretical Foundation
The Gaussian filter, derived from the Gaussian function developed by Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1809, operates on the principle of weighted symmetry, assigning higher importance to central price data while tapering influence toward historical extremes following a bell-curve distribution. This symmetrical design minimizes phase distortion and smooths without introducing lag spikes — a stark contrast to exponential or linear filters that sacrifice temporal accuracy for responsiveness.
By cascading three Gaussian stages in sequence, the indicator creates a multi-frequency decomposition of price action:
The first stage captures immediate trend transitions.
The second absorbs mid-term volatility ripples.
The third stabilizes structural directionality.
The final composite ribbon reflects the market’s dominant frequency - a smoothed yet reactive trend spine - while an independent, heavier Gaussian smoothing serves as a reference layer to gauge whether the primary motion leads or lags relative to broader market structure.
This multi-layered Gaussian framework effectively replicates the behavior of a signal-processing filter bank: isolating meaningful cyclical movements, suppressing random noise, and revealing phase shifts with minimal delay.
How It Works
Triple Gaussian Core
Price data is passed through three successive Gaussian smoothing stages, each refining the trend further and removing higher-frequency distortions.
The result is a fluid, continuously adaptive baseline that responds naturally to directional changes without overshooting or flattening key inflection points.
Adaptive Ribbon Architecture
The indicator visualizes its internal dynamics through a five-layer gradient ribbon. Each layer represents a progressively delayed Gaussian curve, creating a color field that dynamically shifts between bullish and bearish tones.
Expanding ribbons indicate accelerating momentum and trend conviction.
Compressing ribbons reflect consolidation and volatility contraction.
The smooth color gradient provides a real-time depiction of energy buildup or dissipation within the trend, making it visually clear when the market is entering a state of expansion, transition, or exhaustion.
Momentum-Weighted Opacity
Ribbon transparency adjusts according to normalized momentum strength.
As trend force builds, colors intensify and layers become more opaque, signifying conviction.
When momentum wanes, ribbons fade - an early visual cue for potential reversals or pauses in trend continuation.
Candle Gradient Integration
Optional candle coloring ties the chart’s candles to the prevailing Gaussian gradient, allowing traders to view raw price action and smoothed wave dynamics as a unified system.
This integration produces a visually coherent chart environment that communicates directional intent instantly.
Signal Detection Logic
Directional cues emerge when the smoother, broader Gaussian curve crosses the faster-reacting Gaussian line, marking structural inflection points in the filtered trend.
Bullish shifts : short-term momentum transitions upward through the long-term baseline after a localized trough.
Bearish shifts : momentum declines through the baseline following a local peak.
To maintain integrity in choppy markets, the framework applies a trend-strength and separation filter, which blocks weak or overlapping conditions where movement lacks conviction.
Interpretation
The Triple Gaussian Smoothed Ribbon provides a layered, intuitive read on market structure:
Trend Continuation : Expanding ribbons with deep color intensity confirm directional strength.
Reversal Phases : Color gradients flip direction, indicating a phase shift or exhaustion point.
Compression Zones : Tight, pale ribbons reveal equilibrium phases often preceding breakouts.
Momentum Divergence : Fading color intensity despite continued price movement signals weakening conviction.
These transitions mirror the natural ebb and flow of market energy - captured through the Gaussian filter’s ability to represent smooth curvature without distortion.
Strategy Integration
Trend Following
Engage during strong directional expansions. When ribbons widen and color gradients intensify, the trend is accelerating with high confidence.
Reversal Identification
Monitor for full gradient inversion and fading momentum opacity. These conditions often precede transitional phases and early reversals.
Breakout Anticipation
Flat, compressed ribbons signal low volatility and energy buildup. A sudden gradient expansion with renewed opacity confirms breakout initiation.
Multi-Timeframe Alignment
Use higher timeframes to establish directional bias and lower timeframes for entry during compression-to-expansion transitions.
Technical Implementation Details
Triple Gaussian Stack : Sequential smoothing stages produce low-lag, high-purity signals.
Adaptive Ribbon Rendering : Five-layer Gaussian visualization for gradient-based trend depth.
Momentum Normalization : Opacity dynamically tied to trend strength and volatility context.
Consolidation Filter : Suppresses false signals in low-energy or range-bound conditions.
Integrated Candle Mode : Optional color synchronization with underlying gradient flow.
Alert System : Built-in notifications for bullish and bearish transitions.
This structure blends the precision of digital signal processing with the readability of visual market analysis, creating a clean but information-rich framework.
Optimal Application Parameters
Asset Recommendations
Cryptocurrency : Higher smoothing and sigma for stability under volatility.
Forex : Balanced parameters for cycle identification and reduced noise.
Equities : Moderate Gaussian length for responsive yet stable trend reads.
Indices & Futures : Longer smoothing periods for structural confirmation.
Timeframe Recommendations
Scalping (1 - 5m) : Use shorter smoothing for fast reactivity.
Intraday (15m - 1h) : Mid-length Gaussian chain for balance.
Swing (4h - 1D) : Prioritize clarity and opacity-driven trend phases.
Position (Daily - Weekly) : Longer smoothing to capture macro rhythm.
Performance Characteristics
Most Effective In :
Trending markets with recurring volatility cycles.
Transitional phases where early directional confirmation is crucial.
Less Effective In:
Ultra-low volume markets with erratic tick data.
Random, micro-chop conditions with no structural flow.
Integration Guidelines
Pair with volatility or volume expansion tools for enhanced breakout confirmation.
Use ribbon compression to anticipate volatility shifts.
Align entries with gradient expansion in the dominant color direction.
Scale position size relative to opacity strength and ribbon width.
Disclaimer
The Triple Gaussian Smoothed Ribbon – Adaptive Gaussian Framework is designed as a signal visualization and trend interpretation tool, not a standalone trading system. Its accuracy depends on appropriate parameter tuning, contextual confirmation, and disciplined risk management. It should be applied as part of a comprehensive technical or algorithmic trading strategy.

Ichimoku Screener [Pineify]Advanced Multi-Timeframe Ichimoku Screener - Complete Market Analysis Tool
This sophisticated Ichimoku Screener represents a comprehensive approach to multi-timeframe market analysis, combining four distinct Ichimoku-based indicators into a unified screening system. Unlike traditional single-symbol indicators, this screener provides simultaneous analysis across multiple assets and timeframes, enabling traders to identify optimal trading opportunities with enhanced precision and efficiency.
Key Features
Multi-asset screening capability for up to 10 symbols simultaneously
Four customizable timeframes per symbol for comprehensive analysis
Four integrated Ichimoku-based indicators working in harmony
Real-time visual feedback with color-coded signals
Customizable Ichimoku parameters for personalized analysis
Clean, organized table display for easy interpretation
Automated signal strength assessment and timing
How It Works
The screener employs the traditional Ichimoku Kinko Hyo methodology, utilizing five core components: Conversion Line (Tenkan-sen), Base Line (Kijun-sen), Leading Span A (Senkou Span A), Leading Span B (Senkou Span B), and displacement calculations. Each component is mathematically calculated using specific period lengths:
Conversion Line = (Highest High + Lowest Low) / 2 over conversion period
Base Line = (Highest High + Lowest Low) / 2 over base period
Leading Span A = (Conversion Line + Base Line) / 2
Leading Span B = (Highest High + Lowest Low) / 2 over lagging span period
The screener processes these calculations across multiple securities simultaneously using TradingView's security() function, enabling real-time cross-asset analysis. The system tracks state changes using barssince() functions to provide precise timing information for each signal type.
Trading Ideas and Insights
This screener excels in identifying momentum convergence patterns where multiple Ichimoku components align across different timeframes. The most powerful signals occur when:
Cloud color aligns with price position relative to the cloud
Conversion Line crosses above/below Base Line in the same direction as cloud bias
Multiple timeframes show consistent directional bias
Entry signals appear with minimal bars since formation (indicating fresh momentum)
For trend following strategies , focus on symbols where the cloud maintains consistent color across higher timeframes while showing recent entry signals on lower timeframes. For reversal opportunities , identify assets where cloud color changes coincide with price re-entering the cloud after extended periods above or below.
The screener particularly excels in cryptocurrency and forex markets where momentum shifts can be dramatic and sustained. By monitoring multiple timeframes simultaneously, traders can identify when short-term signals align with longer-term trends, significantly improving trade success probability.
How Multiple Indicators Work Together
The four integrated indicators create a comprehensive analytical framework through synergistic interaction:
Ichimoku Cloud (IchiCld) establishes the primary trend bias by comparing Leading Span A with Leading Span B. When Span A > Span B, the cloud displays bullish characteristics; when Span A < Span B, bearish characteristics emerge. The indicator tracks duration since the last cloud color change, providing momentum persistence insight.
Ichimoku Lagging Cloud (IchiLagCld) determines price position relative to the displaced cloud formation. This indicator identifies whether current price action occurs above, below, or within the cloud structure, revealing support/resistance dynamics and trend confirmation signals.
Conversion vs Base (IchiC>Base) monitors the relationship between short-term (Conversion Line) and medium-term (Base Line) momentum. Crossovers in this relationship often precede significant price movements and provide early trend change warnings.
Ichimoku Entry (IchiEnt) synthesizes all components into actionable signals by requiring alignment between cloud bias, price position, and conversion/base relationship. This multi-factor confirmation approach significantly reduces false signals while maintaining sensitivity to genuine momentum shifts.
The mathematical foundation ensures that each indicator contributes unique information while maintaining logical consistency. The system's strength lies in requiring multiple confirmations before generating entry signals, following Ichimoku's original philosophy of comprehensive market analysis.
Unique Aspects
This implementation distinguishes itself through several innovative features:
Advanced State Tracking : Unlike standard Ichimoku indicators that show current values, this screener tracks duration since state changes , providing crucial timing information for signal freshness and momentum strength assessment.
Multi-Asset Efficiency : The screener eliminates the need to manually check multiple charts by presenting comparative analysis across assets and timeframes in a single view, dramatically improving analytical efficiency.
Customizable Visual Feedback : The color-coding system adapts to different signal types and strengths, with recent signals receiving enhanced visual prominence to draw attention to fresh opportunities.
Professional Table Architecture : The organized display accommodates up to 40 symbol-timeframe combinations (10 symbols × 4 timeframes), with intelligent pagination for optimal screen utilization.
Signal Correlation Analysis : By displaying multiple timeframes for each symbol, traders can quickly identify timeframe confluence and divergence patterns that would otherwise require extensive manual analysis.
How to Use
Symbol Configuration : Enter up to 10 symbols in the Symbol input group. Use full exchange:ticker format for optimal compatibility (e.g., "BINANCE:BTCUSDT").
Timeframe Selection : Configure four timeframes in ascending order for logical analysis progression. Recommended combinations include 1m/5m/15m/1h for intraday analysis or 1h/4h/1D/1W for swing trading.
Ichimoku Parameters : Adjust the four core parameters based on your trading style:
Conversion Line Length (default: 9) - Controls short-term momentum sensitivity
Base Line Length (default: 26) - Determines medium-term trend identification
Leading Span B Length (default: 52) - Sets long-term trend calculation period
Displacement (default: 26) - Controls forward projection of cloud structure
Signal Interpretation :
Green backgrounds indicate bullish conditions
Red backgrounds indicate bearish conditions
Numerical values show bars since last state change
"L:" prefix indicates long entry signals
"S:" prefix indicates short entry signals
"N/A" indicates neutral/transitional states
Trading Workflow : Scan for symbols showing consistent signals across multiple timeframes, prioritize fresh signals (low bar counts), and use individual charts for precise entry timing and risk management.
Customization
The screener accommodates various trading approaches through parameter adjustment:
Scalping Configuration : Use shorter periods (Conversion: 5, Base: 13, Span B: 26) with 1m/3m/5m/15m timeframes for high-frequency opportunities.
Swing Trading Setup : Employ standard parameters with 4h/1D/3D/1W timeframes for position trading across days or weeks.
Cryptocurrency Optimization : Given crypto's 24/7 nature, consider using 4h/8h/1D/3D combinations for optimal signal timing.
Symbol selection can focus on correlated assets (e.g., major cryptocurrencies) for sector analysis or diverse assets for portfolio opportunity identification. The flexible timeframe configuration allows adaptation to any market's characteristic volatility and trading patterns.
Conclusion
This Advanced Multi-Timeframe Ichimoku Screener transforms traditional single-chart analysis into a comprehensive market monitoring system. By integrating multiple Ichimoku components across various timeframes and assets, it provides traders with unprecedented analytical efficiency and signal reliability.
The mathematical rigor of traditional Ichimoku analysis combines with modern Pine Script capabilities to deliver a professional-grade screening tool. Whether used for identifying trend continuation opportunities, spotting potential reversals, or conducting broad market analysis, this screener offers the analytical depth and practical functionality required for serious trading applications.
The system's emphasis on signal confluence across multiple timeframes and indicators significantly improves trade selection quality while reducing analysis time. For traders seeking to leverage Ichimoku's proven methodology across multiple markets simultaneously, this screener represents an essential analytical upgrade to traditional single-symbol approaches.
Bollinger ALTswap Alert v1.0 (MA28 Rotation ALT↔BTC)Inspired by: Bollinger Awesome Alert R1 by JustUncleL
What is it?
BBALTSWAP overlays Bollinger Bands (20, 2), a 3-EMA, and a Rotation MA (default 28), then gives state-change alerts to rotate between ALT ↔ BTC on any ALT/BTC chart.
Core rotation rule
• Rotate → ALT when close > Bollinger middle and close > MA28.
• Rotate → BTC when close < Bollinger middle and close < MA28.
• Otherwise: Wait (no rotation).
Labels only print when the state changes (to avoid spam). You can also compute the rotation on a higher timeframe (default 4h) while viewing a lower one (e.g., 1h).
Optional extras
• Breakout arrows (scalping-style) when 3-EMA crosses the Bollinger middle with an Awesome Oscillator direction filter.
• Bollinger Squeeze coloring (relative width) to highlight expansion/contraction.
• Min bars between labels to throttle how often rotation labels appear.
Inputs (highlights)
• Use EMA for Bollinger / Rotation MA
• Bollinger length & multiplier
• AO fast/slow lengths
• Higher-timeframe selector for rotation (default 240 = 4h)
• Show breakout arrows / show “Wait” / min bars between labels
How to use (simple playbook)
1. Chart: open your ALT/BTC pair (e.g., ETHBTC).
2. Direction: leave rotation HTF at 4h for steadier signals.
3. Execution: take rotations on bar close; manage entries on your lower TF (1h/15m) if desired.
4. Override check (optional): when BTCUSDT is in a fresh breakout, prefer BTC even if ALT flashes briefly.
Alerts
Add two alerts, Once per bar close:
• “Rotate to ALT (state change)”
• “Rotate to BTC (state change)”
Notes
• Works on any ALT/BTC pair.
• The breakout arrows are optional and independent from the rotation signals.
• This tool is educational; not financial advice.

Impulse Range Compression & Expansion (IRCE)📌 Impulse Range Compression & Expansion (IRCE) – Visualizing Price Traps Before Breakouts
📖 Overview
The IRCE Indicator is a precision breakout detection tool designed to identify consolidation traps and price coil zones before expansion moves occur. Unlike traditional volatility indicators that rely solely on statistical thresholds (e.g., Bollinger Bands or ATR), IRCE focuses on behavioral price compression, detecting tight-range candle clusters and validating breakouts through body expansion and/or volume surges.
This makes it ideal for traders looking to:
• Catch breakouts from range traps
• Avoid choppy and premature signals
• Spot early-stage momentum moves based on clean price behavior
⸻
⚙️ How It Works
1. Impulse Range Compression Detection
• Measures the high-low range of each candle
• Compares it to a user-defined average range (default 7 bars)
• Flags candles where the range is significantly smaller (e.g., <60% of average)
• Groups these into tight clusters, indicating compression zones or potential “trap ranges”
2. Cluster Box Construction
• When a valid cluster (e.g., 3 or more tight candles) is detected, the indicator:
• Marks the high and low of the cluster
• Draws a shaded box over this “trap zone”
• This helps visually track where price has coiled before a breakout
3. Breakout Confirmation Logic
A breakout from the trap zone is only validated when:
• Price closes above the cluster high (bullish) or below the cluster low (bearish)
• One or both of the following confirm strength:
• Body Expansion: Current candle body is 120%+ of recent average
• Volume Expansion: Volume exceeds recent volume average
4. Optional Trend Filter
• An optional EMA filter (default: 50 EMA) ensures breakout signals align with trend direction
• Helps filter out countertrend noise in ranging markets
5. Signal Cooldown
• Prevents repeated signals by enforcing a cooldown period (e.g., 10 bars) between entries

🖥️ Visual Elements
• 📦 Yellow compression boxes represent tight price traps
• 🟢 Buy labels appear when price breaks above the trap with confirmation
• 🔴 Sell labels appear when price breaks below with confirmation
• All visuals are non-repainting and updated in real-time
🧠 How to Use
1. Wait for a yellow trap box to appear
2. Watch for a confirmed breakout from the trap zone
3. Take the trade in the direction of the breakout:
• Only if it satisfies body or volume confirmation
• And if trend alignment is enabled, it must match EMA direction
4. Place stops just outside the opposite end of the trap zone
5. Use risk/reward ratios or structure levels for exits
This logic works great on:
• Lower timeframes (scalping breakouts)
• Higher timeframes (detecting price coiling before major moves)
• Any market: Stocks, Crypto, FX, Commodities

VWAP Multi Sessions + EMA + TEMA + PivotThis indicator combines several technical tools in one, designed for both intraday and swing traders to provide a complete view of market dynamics.
- VWAP Multi Sessions: calculates and plots five independent VWAPs, each based on a specific time range. This allows you to better identify value zones and price evolution during different phases of the trading day.
- Moving Averages (EMA): three strategic EMAs (55, 144, and 233 periods) are included to track the broader trend and highlight potential crossovers.
- TEMA (Triple Exponential Moving Average): two TEMAs (144 and 233 periods) offer a more responsive alternative to EMAs, reducing lag while filtering out some market noise.
- Daily Levels: the previous day’s open, close, high, and low are plotted as key support and resistance references.
- Pivot Point (P): also included is the classic daily pivot from the previous session, calculated as (High + Low + Close) / 3, which acts as a central level around which price often gravitates.
In summary, this indicator combines:
- intraday value references (session VWAPs),
- trend indicators (EMA and TEMA),
- and daily reference points (OHLC and Pivot).
It is particularly suited for intraday, scalping, and swing trading strategies, helping traders anticipate potential reaction zones in the market more effectively.
