Aether | SkyWalker Cloud Algo☁️ Aether | SkyWalker Cloud Algo
The SkyWalker Cloud Algo is a high-confluence trend-following system designed to filter out market noise and capture significant volatility expansions. By combining a sensitive trailing stop engine (UT Bot) with a "Tri-Factor" of momentum, volume, and trend filters, this script visualizes the market as a navigational flight path—keeping you in the clear "Blue Sky" during uptrends and alerting you to "Storms" during downtrends.
🧠 The Logic Behind the Cloud
This script is not just a buy/sell signal generator; it is a Confluence Engine. A signal is only generated when the core cloud logic aligns with specific atmospheric conditions (Filters).
1. The Core Engine: Variable Sensitivity Cloud (UT Bot)
At its heart, the script uses a modified ATR Trailing Stop (often known as the UT Bot).
Ascend (Bullish): When price breaks above the trailing "Updraft" line.
Descend (Bearish): When price breaks below the trailing "Downdraft" line.
Customization: You can tweak the Sensitivity (ATR Period) and Smoothness (Key Value) to fit any timeframe, from scalping (1m) to swing trading (4H+).
2. The Confluence Filters (The Weather System)
To prevent false signals in choppy markets, the "SkyWalker" logic checks three distinct market forces before confirming a trade:
🌬️ Prevailing Wind (Supertrend): Ensures you are trading in the direction of the macro trend. If the wind is against you, the signal is grounded.
🌡️ Atmospheric Pressure (QQE Mod): Uses a smoothed RSI with volatility bands to detect genuine momentum shifts. It ensures there is enough "pressure" to sustain the move.
💧 Vapor Flow (Chaikin Money Flow): Analyzes volume flow. A Buy signal requires positive money flow (Inflow), and a Sell requires negative money flow (Outflow).
3. Market Structure (SMC)
Optional Filter: You can enable the SMC Structure Alignment in the settings. This forces the algorithm to only take Longs when the market is making Higher Highs and Shorts when making Lower Lows, adding an extra layer of safety.
🌤️ Visuals & The "Flight Deck"
The script completely overhauls the standard chart visual to keep your focus on price action and targets.
Aether Mist: The space between the price and the trailing stop is filled with a dynamic cloud, providing an instant visual read on trend strength.
Dynamic Targets (TP/SL): When a signal fires, the script automatically projects Take Profit and Stop Loss lines on your chart based on volatility (ATR). These lines update in real-time.
The Flight Deck (Dashboard): Located in the corner of your chart, this panel provides a real-time status report of your filters (Wind, Barometer, Flow) and tracks the "Flight Accuracy" (Win Rate) of the signals on the current chart history.
🛠️ How to Use
Entry: Wait for a "🌤️ ASCEND" (Long) or "⛈️ DESCEND" (Short) label. This confirms that price has broken the cloud and all enabled filters (Supertrend, QQE, CMF) are in agreement.
Stop Loss: Place your initial stop at the dotted white line provided by the signal.
Take Profit: Aim for the dashed colored line (Dynamic TP). Alternatively, you can ride the trend until the Cloud changes color.
Trailing: If the "Show Trailing Cloud" option is on, the SL line will move with the price, locking in profits as the trend continues.
⚙️ Settings Overview
Updraft/Downdraft Sensitivity: Lower numbers = faster signals (scalping); Higher numbers = fewer signals (swinging).
Confluence Group: Toggle the Supertrend, QQE, or CMF filters on/off individually to loosen or tighten the strategy.
Visuals: Toggle the Dashboard, TP/SL lines, or the background cloud fill.

Scalp Precision Matrix [BullByte]SCALP PRECISION MATRIX (SPM)
OVERVIEW
Scalp Precision Matrix (SPM) is a comprehensive decision-support framework designed specifically for scalpers and short-term traders. This indicator synthesizes five distinct analytical layers into a unified system that helps identify high-quality setups while avoiding common pitfalls that trap traders.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
THE CORE PROBLEM THIS INDICATOR ADDRESSES
Scalping demands rapid decision-making while simultaneously processing multiple data points. Traders constantly ask themselves: Is momentum still alive? Am I entering near a potential reversal zone? Is this the right session to trade? What is my actual risk-to-reward? Most traders either overwhelm themselves with too many separate indicators (creating analysis paralysis) or use too few (missing crucial context).
SPM was developed to consolidate these essential checks into one cohesive framework. Rather than overlaying disconnected indicators, each component in SPM directly informs and adjusts the others, creating an integrated analytical system.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHY THESE SPECIFIC COMPONENTS AND HOW THEY WORK TOGETHER
The five analytical layers in SPM are not arbitrarily combined. Each addresses a specific question in the scalping decision process, and together they form a logical workflow:
LAYER 1: MOMENTUM FUEL GAUGE
This answers the question: "Does the current move still have energy?"
After any impulse move (a significant directional price movement), momentum naturally decays over time. The Fuel Gauge estimates remaining momentum by analyzing four factors:
Body Strength (30% weight): Compares recent candle body sizes against the historical average. Strong momentum produces candles with large bodies relative to their wicks. The calculation takes the 3-bar average body size divided by the 20-bar average body size, then scales it to a 0-100 range.
Wick Rejection (25% weight): Measures the wick-to-body ratio. When wicks are large relative to bodies, it suggests rejection and weakening momentum. A ratio of 2.0 or higher (wicks twice the body size) scores low; smaller ratios score higher.
Volume Consistency (20% weight): Compares recent 3-bar average volume against the lookback period average. Sustained moves require consistent volume support. Volume dropping off suggests the move may be losing participation.
Time Decay (25% weight): Tracks how many bars have passed since the last detected impulse. Momentum naturally fades over time. The typical impulse duration is adjusted based on the current volatility regime.
These components are weighted and combined, then smoothed with a 3-period EMA to reduce noise. The result is a 0-100% gauge where:
- Above 70% = Strong momentum (green)
- 40-70% = Moderate momentum (amber)
- Below 40% = Weak momentum (red)
- Below 20% = Exhausted (triggers EXIT warning)
The Fuel Gauge also estimates how many bars of momentum remain based on the current burn rate.
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER : The Fuel Gauge is NOT order flow, volume profile, or depth of market data. It is a technical proxy calculated entirely from standard OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) data. The term "Fuel" is used metaphorically to represent estimated remaining momentum energy.
LAYER 2: TRAP ZONE DETECTION
This answers the question: "Am I walking into a potential reversal area?"
Price tends to reverse at levels where it has reversed before. SPM identifies these zones by detecting clusters of historical swing points:
How it works:
1. The indicator detects swing highs and swing lows using the Swing Detection Length setting (default 5 bars on each side required to confirm a pivot).
2. Recent swing points are stored (up to 10 of each type).
3. For each potential zone, the algorithm counts how many swing points cluster within a tolerance of 0.5 ATR.
4. Zones with 2 or more clustered swing points, positioned between 0.3 and 4.0 ATR from current price, are marked as Trap Zones.
5. A Confluence Score is calculated based on cluster density and proximity to current price.
The percentage displayed (e.g., "TRAP 85%") is a CONFLUENCE SCORE, not a probability. Higher percentages mean more swing points cluster at that level and price is closer to it. This indicates stronger historical significance, not a prediction of future reversal.
CRITICAL DISCLAIMER : Trap Zones are NOT institutional order flow, liquidity pools, smart money footprints, or any proprietary data feed. They are calculated purely from historical swing point clustering using standard technical analysis. The term "trap" describes how price action has historically reversed at these levels, potentially trapping traders who enter prematurely. This is pattern recognition, not market structure data.
LAYER 3: VELOCITY ANALYSIS
This answers the question: "Is price moving favorably right now?"
Velocity measures how fast price is currently moving compared to its recent average:
Calculation:
- Current velocity = Absolute price change from previous bar divided by ATR
- Average velocity = Simple moving average of velocity over the lookback period
- Velocity ratio = Current velocity divided by average velocity
Classification:
- FAST (ratio above 1.5 ): Price is moving significantly faster than normal. Good for momentum continuation plays.
- NORMAL (ratio 0.5 to 1.5) : Typical price movement speed.
- SLOW (ratio below 0.5 ): Price is moving sluggishly. Often indicates ranging or choppy conditions where scalping becomes difficult.
The velocity score contributes 18% to the overall quality score calculation.
LAYER 4: SESSION AWARENESS
This answers the question: "Is this a good time to trade?"
Different trading sessions have different characteristics. SPM automatically detects which major session is active and adjusts its quality assessment:
Session Times (all in UTC):
- A sia Session : 00:00 - 08:00 UTC
- London Session : 08:00 - 16:00 UTC
- New York Session : 13:00 - 21:00 UTC
- London/NY Overlap : 13:00 - 16:00 UTC
- Off-Peak : Outside major sessions
Session Quality Weighting:
- Overlap : 100 points (highest liquidity, best movement)
- London : 85 points
- New York : 80 points
- Asia : 50 points (tends to range more)
- Off-Peak : 30 points (lower liquidity, more false signals)
The session score contributes 17% to the overall quality calculation. Signals are also filtered to prevent firing during off-peak hours.
Note : These are fixed UTC times and may not perfectly match your broker's session boundaries. Use them as general guidance rather than precise timing.
LAYER 5: VOLATILITY REGIME ADAPTATION
This answers the question: "How should I adjust for current market conditions?"
SPM compares current volatility (14-period ATR) against historical volatility (50-period ATR) to categorize the market:
HIGH Volatility (ratio above 1.3): Current ATR is 30%+ above normal. SPM widens thresholds to filter noise and extends target projections.
NORMAL Volatility (ratio 0.7 to 1.3): Typical conditions. Standard parameters apply.
LOW Volatility (ratio below 0.7): Current ATR is 30%+ below normal. SPM tightens thresholds for sensitivity and reduces target expectations. The market state may show AVOID during prolonged low volatility.
This adaptation prevents false signals during erratic markets and missed signals during quiet markets.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
THE SYNERGY: WHY THIS COMBINATION MATTERS
These five layers are not independent indicators placed on one chart. They form an interconnected system:
- A signal only fires when momentum exists (Fuel above 40%), price is away from danger zones (Trap Zones factored into quality score), movement is favorable (Velocity contributes to score), timing is appropriate (Session is not off-peak), and volatility is accounted for (thresholds adapt to regime).
- The Trap Zones directly influence Entry Zone placement. Entry zones are positioned beyond trap zones to avoid getting caught in reversals.
- Target projections automatically adjust to avoid placing take-profit levels inside detected trap zones.
- The Fuel Gauge affects which signal tier fires. Insufficient fuel prevents all signals.
- Session quality is weighted into the overall score, reducing signal quality during less favorable trading hours.
This integration is the core originality of SPM. Each component makes the others more useful than they would be in isolation.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW THE QUALITY SCORE IS CALCULATED
The Quality Score (0-100) synthesizes all layers into a single number for each direction (long and short):
For Long Quality Score:
- Fuel Component (28% weight) : Full fuel value if impulse direction is bullish; 60% of fuel value otherwise
- Trap Avoidance (22% weight) : 75 points if no trap zone below; otherwise 100 minus the trap confluence score (minimum 20)
- Velocity Component (18% weight) : Direct velocity score
- Session Component (17% weight) : Current session quality score
- Trend Alignment (15% bonus) : Adds 12 points if price is above the 20-period SMA
For Short Quality Score:
- Same structure but reversed (bearish impulse direction, trap zone above, price below SMA)
The direction with the higher score becomes the current Bias. A 12-point difference is required to switch bias, preventing flip-flopping in neutral conditions.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SIGNAL TYPES AND WHAT THEY MEAN
SPM generates four types of signals, each with specific visual representation:
PRIME SIGNALS (Cyan Diamond)
These represent the highest quality confluence. Requirements:
- Quality score crosses above the Prime threshold (default 80)
- Bias aligns with signal direction
- Fuel is sufficient (above 40%)
- Session is active (not off-peak)
- Cooldown period has passed
Prime signals appear as cyan-colored diamond shapes. Long signals appear below the bar; short signals appear above.
STANDARD SIGNALS (Green Triangle Up / Red Triangle Down)
These represent good quality setups. Requirements:
- Quality score crosses above the Standard threshold (default 75) but below Prime
- Same bias, fuel, and cooldown requirements as Prime
Standard signals appear as small triangles in green (long) or red (short).
CAUTION SIGNALS (Small Faded Circle)
These represent minimum threshold setups. Requirements:
- Quality score crosses above the Caution threshold (default 65) but below Standard
- Same additional requirements
Caution signals appear as small, faded circles. These suggest the setup exists but with weaker confluence. Consider these only when broader market context supports them, or skip them entirely during uncertain conditions.
EXHAUSTION SIGNAL (Purple X with "EXIT" text)
This warning appears when the Fuel Gauge drops below 20% from above, indicating momentum has depleted. This is not a trade signal but a warning to:
- Consider exiting existing positions
- Avoid entering new trades in the current direction
- Wait for new momentum to develop
All signals use CONFIRMED bar data only (referencing the previous closed bar) to prevent repainting. Once a signal appears, it will never disappear or change position on historical bars.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
READING THE CHART ELEMENTS
TRAP ZONES (Red Dashed Box with "TRAP XX%" Label)
These mark price levels where multiple historical swing points cluster. The red dashed box shows the zone boundaries. The percentage is the confluence score indicating cluster strength and proximity.
How to use: When price approaches a trap zone, be cautious about entering in that direction. If your bias is LONG and there's a strong trap zone above, consider taking partial profits before price reaches it or adjusting your target below it.
ENTRY ZONES (Green Solid Box with "ENTRY" Label)
These show suggested entry areas based on the current bias direction. For LONG bias, the entry zone appears below the trap zone (buying the dip beyond support). For SHORT bias, it appears above the trap zone (selling the rally beyond resistance).
How to use: Rather than entering at current price, consider placing limit orders within the entry zone. This positions you beyond where typical trap reversals occur.
TARGET ZONES (Blue Dotted Box with "TARGET" Label)
These project potential take-profit areas based on ATR multiples, adjusted for:
- Current volatility regime (wider in high volatility, tighter in low)
- Impulse direction (larger targets when aligned with impulse)
- Nearby trap zones (targets adjust to avoid placing TP inside trap zones)
How to use: These are suggestions, not guarantees. Consider taking partial profits before the target or using trailing stops once price moves favorably.
STOP LEVEL (Orange Dashed Line with "STOP" Label)
This shows suggested stop-loss placement, calculated as 0.8 ATR beyond the trap zone (or 2.0 ATR from current price if no trap zone exists).
How to use: This provides a reference for risk calculation. The dashboard R:R ratio is calculated using this stop level.
Chart Example: Scalp Precision Matrix displays real-time market analysis through dynamic zones and quality scores. ENTRY/TARGET/STOP zones show potential price levels based on current market structure - they appear continuously as reference points, NOT as trade instructions. Actual trade signals (diamonds, triangles, circles) fire only when multiple conditions align: quality score thresholds are crossed, fuel gauge is sufficient, session is active, and cooldown period has passed. The zones help you understand market context; the signals tell you when to act.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SETTINGS EXPLAINED
CORE SETTINGS:
Analysis Lookback (Default: 20)
Number of bars used for statistical calculations including average volume and average body size. Higher values create smoother but slower-reacting analysis. Lower values are more responsive but may include more noise.
Swing Detection Length (Default: 5)
Bars required on each side to confirm a swing high or low. A setting of 5 means a swing high must have 5 lower highs on each side. Lower values detect more swings (more trap zones, more sensitivity). Higher values find only major pivots (fewer but more significant zones).
Impulse Sensitivity (Default: 1.5)
Multiplier for ATR when detecting impulse moves. Lower values (like 1.0) detect smaller price movements as impulses, refreshing the fuel gauge more frequently. Higher values (like 2.5) require larger moves, making impulse detection less frequent but more significant.
SIGNAL SETTINGS:
Prime/Standard/Caution Thresholds (Defaults: 80/75/65)
These control the quality score required for each signal tier. You can adjust these based on your preference:
- More conservative : Raise thresholds (e.g., 85/80/70) for fewer but higher-quality signals
- More aggressive : Lower thresholds (e.g., 75/70/60) for more signals with slightly lower quality
Signal Cooldown (Default: 8 bars)
Minimum bars between signals to prevent signal spam. After any signal fires, no new signals can appear until this many bars pass. Increase for fewer signals in choppy markets; decrease if you want faster signal refresh.
Show Prime/Standard/Caution/Exhaustion Signals
Toggle each signal type on or off based on your preference.
ZONE DISPLAY:
Show Trap Zones / Entry Zones / Target Zones / Stop Levels
Toggle each zone type on or off. Turning off zones you don't use reduces chart clutter.
Zone Transparency (Default: 88)
Controls how transparent zone boxes appear. Higher values (closer to 95) make zones barely visible; lower values (closer to 75) make them more prominent.
Zone History (Default: 25 bars)
How far back zone boxes extend on the chart. Purely visual preference.
BACKGROUND:
Background Mode (Options: Off, Subtle, Normal)
Controls whether and how intensely the chart background is colored. Subtle is barely noticeable; Normal is more visible; Off disables background coloring entirely.
Background Type (Options: Bias, Fuel)
- Bias : Colors background based on current directional lean (green for long, red for short)
- Fuel : Colors background based on momentum level (green for high fuel, amber for moderate, red for low)
DASHBOARD / QUICK PANEL:
Show Dashboard / Show Quick Panel
Toggle each panel on or off.
Compact Mode
When enabled, the main dashboard shows only essential rows (quality bars, bias, R:R, fuel, session) without entry/stop/target levels, volatility, velocity, or time remaining.
Position Settings
Choose where each panel appears on your chart from six options: Top Right, Top Left, Bottom Right, Bottom Left, Middle Right, Middle Left.
ALERTS:
Alert Prime Signals / Standard Signals / Fuel Exhaustion
Enable or disable TradingView alerts for each condition. When enabled, you can set up alerts in TradingView that will notify you when these conditions occur.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
RECOMMENDED TIMEFRAMES AND USAGE
OPTIMAL TIMEFRAMES:
- 1-minute to 5-minute : Best for active scalping with quick entries and exits
- 5-minute to 15-minute : Balanced scalping with slightly more confirmation
- 15-minute to 1-hour : Short-term swing entries, fewer but more significant signals
Zone visualizations only appear on intraday timeframes to prevent chart clutter on higher timeframes.
BEST PRACTICES:
1. Trade primarily during LONDON, NEW YORK, or OVERLAP sessions. The indicator weights these sessions higher for good reason - liquidity and movement are typically better.
2. Prioritize PRIME signals. These represent the highest confluence and have proven most reliable. Use STANDARD signals as secondary opportunities. Treat CAUTION signals with extra scrutiny.
3. Respect the Fuel Gauge. Avoid entering new positions when fuel is below 40%. When the EXIT signal appears, seriously consider closing or reducing positions.
4. Pay attention to TRAP warnings. When the dashboard shows a trap zone in your bias direction, be cautious about holding through that level.
5. Verify R:R before entry. The dashboard shows the risk-to-reward ratio. Ensure it meets your minimum requirements (many traders require at least 1.5:1 or 2:1).
6. When state shows AVOID or EXIT, step back. These conditions typically produce poor results.
7. Combine with your own analysis. SPM is a decision-support tool, not a standalone system. Use it alongside your understanding of market structure, news events, and overall context.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
PRACTICAL EXAMPLE
Scenario : You're watching a 5-minute chart during London session. A cyan diamond (Prime Long signal) appears below the bar.
Before entering, you check the dashboard:
- State shows "PRIME" - conditions are favorable
- Fuel shows "72% (8)" - plenty of momentum remaining (approximately 8 bars)
- R:R shows "1:2.3" - acceptable risk-to-reward ratio
- Session shows "LONDON" - active session with good liquidity
- No TRAP warning in dashboard - no immediate resistance cluster in your way
- Entry zone visible on chart at a lower price level
- Stop and Target zones clearly marked
With this confluence of factors, you have context for a more informed decision. The signal indicates quality, the fuel suggests momentum remains, the R:R is favorable, and no immediate trap threatens your trade.
However, you also notice the target zone sits just below where a trap zone would be if there were one. This is by design - SPM adjusts targets to avoid placing them inside reversal zones.
This multi-factor confirmation delivered in a single glance is what SPM provides.
Chart Example :This chart demonstrates how the Scalp Precision Matrix identifies key market transitions. After a strong bullish impulse (cyan PRIME signal at ~08:30), price reached a historical reversal cluster (TRAP ZONE at 92,300). The indicator detected momentum exhaustion (purple EXIT signal) as fuel dropped below 20%, warning traders to exit longs. Now showing a SHORT bias with entry/stop/target zones clearly marked. The 92% trap zone confluence indicates a strong cluster of previous swing highs where price historically reversed.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
DATA WINDOW VALUES
For detailed analysis and strategy development, SPM exports the following values to TradingView's Data Window (visible when you hover over the chart with the indicator selected):
- Long Quality Score (0-100)
- Short Quality Score (0-100)
- Fuel Gauge (0-100%)
- Risk:Reward Ratio
These values can be useful for understanding how the indicator behaves over time and for developing your own insights about when it works best for your trading style.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
NON-REPAINTING CONFIRMATION
All signals in SPM are generated using CONFIRMED bar data only. The signal logic references the previous closed bar's values ( and in Pine Script terms). This means:
- Signals appear at the OPEN of the new bar (after the previous bar closes)
- Signals will NEVER disappear once they appear
- Signals will NEVER change position on historical bars
- What you see in backtesting is what you would have seen in real-time
The dashboard and zones update in real-time to provide current market context, but the trading signals themselves are non-repainting.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS
TERMINOLOGY CLARIFICATION:
This indicator uses terms that might imply access to data it does not have. To be completely transparent:
- "Trap Zones" are calculated from historical swing point clustering. They are NOT institutional liquidity pools, order blocks, smart money footprints, or any form of order flow data. The term "trap" is metaphorical, describing how price has historically reversed at these levels.
- "Fuel Gauge" is a technical momentum proxy. It is NOT order flow, volume profile, depth of market, or bid/ask data. It estimates momentum remaining based entirely on standard OHLCV price and volume data.
- "Quality Scores" are weighted combinations of the technical factors described above. A high score indicates multiple conditions align favorably according to the indicator's logic. It does NOT predict or guarantee trade success.
- The percentages shown on trap zones are CONFLUENCE SCORES measuring cluster density and proximity. They are NOT probability predictions of reversal.
TRADING RISK WARNING:
Trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. This indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to assist with decision-making. It does not constitute financial advice, trading advice, or any other sort of advice. Past performance of any signal or pattern does not guarantee future results. Markets are inherently unpredictable.
Always use proper risk management. Define your risk before entering any trade. Never risk more than you can afford to lose. Consider consulting with a licensed financial advisor before making trading decisions.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ORIGINALITY STATEMENT - NOT A MASHUP
Scalp Precision Matrix is an original work that combines several analytical concepts into a purpose-built scalping framework. While individual components like ATR calculations, pivot detection, session timing, and trend alignment exist in various forms elsewhere, the specific implementation here represents original synthesis:
- The Fuel Gauge decay model with its four-component weighted calculation
- The Trap Zone cluster detection with confluence scoring
- The multi-factor quality scoring system that integrates all layers
- The trap-aware entry and target zone placement logic
- The volatility regime adaptation across all components
- The session weighting is integrated into the quality assessment
The indicator does not simply overlay separate indicators on one chart. It creates interconnected layers where each component informs and adjusts the others. This integration is the core originality of SPM.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
For best results, combine SPM with your own market understanding and always practice proper risk management.

⚠️ Disclaimer
This indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute financial or investment advice. Trading and investing involve substantial risk, and losses can exceed expectations. Past performance is not indicative of future results. You are solely responsible for your trading decisions. CandelaCharts assumes no liability for any outcomes resulting from the use of this indicator.
Pullbacks CompletoThis indicator is a comprehensive Trend Following toolkit that combines two distinct, high-probability pullback strategies into a single, intelligent interface. It is designed to help traders identify precise entry points during corrections in established trends, filtering out low-quality noise.
The indicator features Smart Conflict Detection: if the two strategies generate opposing signals on the same candle, the system blocks the individual alerts and displays a Purple "X", warning the trader of market indecision.
Strategy 1: Stoch Pullback (Triangles)
Visual: Green/Red Triangles Logic:
Trend: Defined by the alignment of the Fast EMA (21) and Slow EMA (100).
The Setup: The indicator waits for the Stochastic RSI to enter an Overbought or Oversold zone.
Strict Filter: A signal is only valid if, while in the zone, the price physically tests the Fast EMA (closes against it). This filters out "shallow" pullbacks.
Trigger: The signal is fired when the Stochastic RSI crosses back out of the extreme zone, resuming the trend.
Strategy 2: Dave Landry Setup (Dots)
Visual: Green/Red Circles Logic:
Trend: Filtered by MACD Histogram momentum and the relation to the Fast EMA (21).
The Pattern: Looks for a correction of at least 2 candles making lower lows (for uptrends) or higher highs (for downtrends).
Trigger: Enters when the price breaks the high/low of the previous candle, provided it closes in favor of the EMA 21.
Anti-Climax Filter: Includes a "Stretched" filter to prevent buying/selling on exhausted "Elephant Bars" (huge candles that have already consumed the move).
Key Features
Dual Alert System: Receive specific alerts for "Pullback" or "Landry" setups.
Conflict Warning: If Strategy A says "Buy" and Strategy B says "Sell" simultaneously, a "Doubtful Signal" alert is triggered, and a purple Cross appears on the chart.
Smart Visibility: The indicator automatically hides or shows the Moving Averages depending on which strategies you have enabled in the settings.
Educational Tooltips: Hover over the "i" icons in the settings menu to read the rationale behind each specific filter.
How to Use
Green Triangle: Look for Long opportunities (Stoch Pullback).
Green Dot: Look for Long opportunities (Landry Breakout).
Red Triangle: Look for Short opportunities (Stoch Pullback).

Breaker Blocks Finder | Gold | ProjectSyndicateProjectSyndicate Breaker Blocks Finder
📊 Overview
The ProjectSyndicate Breaker Blocks Finder (PS BB Finder) is a professional-grade Pine Script indicator designed to detect and display Bullish and Bearish Breaker Blocks based on Smart Money Concepts (SMC) methodology. This indicator is specifically optimized for XAUUSD (Gold) trading but works reliably across all symbols and timeframes.
Key Features
✅ Non-Repainting: Breaker blocks never change position after formation
✅ Multi-Timeframe Support: Optimized for M5, M10, M15, M20, M30, and H1
✅ Highly Customizable: 10+ user-configurable settings
✅ Visual Clarity: Color-coded boxes and labels for easy identification
✅ Performance Optimized: Handles 1000+ candles without lag
✅ Cross-Symbol Compatible: Works on Forex, Crypto, Stocks, Indices, and Commodities
✅ Displacement Detection: Uses ATR-based displacement to filter false signals
🎯 What are Breaker Blocks?
A Breaker Block is a failed order block that becomes a new support or resistance zone after being invalidated by price. It represents a market structure shift where institutional traders (smart money) have flipped their position.
Bullish Breaker Block
A Bullish Breaker Block forms when:
1 A bearish order block (resistance zone) exists
2 Price breaks ABOVE this zone with strong displacement
3 The former resistance zone now becomes SUPPORT
4 Price may retest this zone before continuing higher
Visual: Green box with "BB ▲" label
Bearish Breaker Block
A Bearish Breaker Block forms when:
5 A bullish order block (support zone) exists
6 Price breaks BELOW this zone with strong displacement
7 The former support zone now becomes RESISTANCE
8 Price may retest this zone before continuing lower
Visual: Red box with "BB ▼" label
⚙️ Default Settings
Setting Default Range Description
Lookback Period 1000 100-5000 Number of historical candles to analyze
Max Breaker Blocks 5 1-50 Maximum number of breaker blocks to display
Swing Detection Length 10 2-20 Bars on each side to confirm swing high/low. Higher = more significant swings
Use Displacement Filter true true/false Enable to filter breaker blocks by displacement size
Displacement Multiplier 2.0 0.5-5.0 Minimum move size as multiple of ATR. Higher = stricter detection
Invalidation Method Close Close/Wick Close = Conservative (candle must close beyond zone)Wick = Aggressive (wick touch is enough)
📈 Recommended Timeframes & Settings
This indicator is optimized for the following timeframes. Use these settings as a starting point.
Lower Timeframes (M5, M10, M15, M20)
These settings are designed to capture faster price movements and are the default settings for the indicator.
Setting Recommended Value
Lookback Period 1000
Max Breaker Blocks 5
Swing Detection Length 10
Use Displacement Filter true
Displacement Multiplier 2.0
Invalidation Method Close
Higher Timeframes (M30, H1)
For these timeframes, a less strict displacement filter is recommended to capture more significant, but less frequent, breaker blocks.
Setting Recommended Value
Lookback Period 1000
Max Breaker Blocks 5
Swing Detection Length 10
Use Displacement Filter true
Displacement Multiplier 1.0
Invalidation Method Close
🎓 How to Use
Step 1: Identify Breaker Blocks
Once the indicator is loaded, breaker blocks will automatically appear on your chart:
• Green boxes = Bullish breaker blocks (former resistance, now support)
• Red boxes = Bearish breaker blocks (former support, now resistance)
Step 2: Wait for Retest
The most reliable trading opportunities occur when price retests the breaker block zone:
• For bullish breaker blocks, wait for price to come back down to the green zone
• For bearish breaker blocks, wait for price to come back up to the red zone
Step 3: Look for Confluence
Combine breaker blocks with other SMC concepts for higher probability setups:
• Fair Value Gaps (FVG) within the breaker block zone
• Liquidity grabs before the retest
• Break of Structure (BoS) or Change of Character (ChoCH) confirmation
Step 4: Enter the Trade
Bullish Setup:
• Entry: At or near the bullish breaker block zone
• Stop Loss: Below the breaker block
• Take Profit: Previous swing high or higher
Bearish Setup:
• Entry: At or near the bearish breaker block zone
• Stop Loss: Above the breaker block
• Take Profit: Previous swing low or lower
🛡️ Non-Repainting Guarantee
This indicator is 100% non-repainting, meaning:
✅ Breaker blocks never change position after formation
✅ Historical breaker blocks remain in the exact same location indefinitely
✅ Backtesting results are reliable and consistent
🐛 Troubleshooting
Issue: No Breaker Blocks Appearing
Solutions:
• Ensure "Use Displacement Filter" is enabled.
• On M30/H1, try lowering the "Displacement Multiplier" to 1.0.
• Scroll back in history; blocks may not be present on the most recent bars.
Issue: Too Many Breaker Blocks
Solutions:
• Increase "Displacement Multiplier" to 2.5 or 3.0.
• Increase "Swing Detection Length" to 12-15.
• Decrease "Max Breaker Blocks" to 3-4.
Wave Dynamics - Neural Adaptive Engine🌊 WAVE DYNAMICS - NEURAL ADAPTIVE ENGINE
The Official Reference Manual & Trading Protocol
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📖 PREFACE: THE END OF STATIC ANALYSIS
The financial markets are not linear; they are fractal. They do not move in straight lines; they breathe. They expand in trending volatility and contract in chopping noise.
The fundamental failure of traditional technical analysis is Static Sensitivity .
• A 14-period RSI works beautifully in a range but fails in a trend.
• A 12,26 MACD captures trends but destroys capital in chop.
Wave Dynamics solves this by treating the market as a living organism. At its core is a Neural Adaptive Engine that calculates the Hurst Exponent (Fractal Dimension) in real-time. It measures the "roughness" of price action and automatically adjusts the lookback periods of every subsystem—Waves, Ribbons, and Oscillators—to match the current market regime.
This manual is your guide to navigating this adaptive framework.
PART 1: THEOLOGY & MARKET PHYSICS
To use this tool, you must understand the three pillars of its logic:
1. The Hurst Exponent (Chaos Theory)
The engine continuously calculates H (Hurst) on a rolling window.
• Persistent Regime (H > 0.5): "What is happening now is likely to continue." The market is trending. The Engine Tightens sensitivity to catch fast pullbacks.
• Anti-Persistent Regime (H < 0.5): "What is happening now is likely to reverse." The market is chopping/ranging. The Engine Widens sensitivity to filter out noise and stop runs.
2. The Elliott Wave Cycle (Crowd Psychology)
Price moves in 5-wave motive sequences followed by corrections.
• Waves 1 & 3: Institutional Accumulation/Mark-up.
• Waves 2 & 4: Profit Taking (The Pullback). These are the only safe entry points.
• Wave 5: Retail FOMO (The Trap). Identified by Momentum Divergence .
3. Smart Money Concepts (Liquidity)
Price moves from liquidity to liquidity.
• Order Blocks: Where institutions initiated the move.
• Breakers: Where institutions trapped traders (Support flips to Resistance).
• Fair Value Gaps: Where price moved too fast, leaving inefficiency.
PART 2: VISUAL INTELLIGENCE (COLOR THEORY)
The chart communicates instantly through a strict color-coded language.
🎨 THE RIBBON (Adaptive Equilibrium)
The background "Cloud" is an Adaptive EMA ribbon.
• Neon Green (#00FF88): Bullish Trend. Only look for Longs. Price is above the equilibrium mean.
• Neon Red (#FF3366): Bearish Trend. Only look for Shorts. Price is below the equilibrium mean.
• Grey/Narrow: Compression. The market is deciding. Do not trade inside a grey ribbon.
🎨 INSTITUTIONAL ZONES
• Green/Red Boxes (Order Blocks): Standard Support/Resistance. Valid entry zones, but lower probability.
• Vivid Purple Boxes (#9C27B0) - THE BREAKER: CRITICAL. This appears when a Green Order Block is smashed through by price. It turns Purple to signify it has flipped from Support to Resistance (or vice versa). A retest of a Purple Zone is the highest probability setup in the system.
• Dotted Outlines (FVG): Magnets. Do not place stops inside these; price will likely travel through them.
🎨 WAVE ANATOMY
• Cyan Lines: Valid Impulse Waves (1, 3, 5).
• Orange Lines/Dots: EXHAUSTION. If a wave line turns Orange, Angular Momentum is decaying. The trend is dying.
• Diamonds (◆): DIVERGENCE. Price made a Higher High, but the internal oscillator (MPI) made a Lower Low. Immediate reversal warning.
🎨 SIGNALS
• Triangles: Confirmed Entries. (Green = Long, Red = Short).
• Labels (e.g., A+): The Grade of the trade based on Confluence.
• A+: Perfect Confluence (Trend + Structure + Zone + Momentum).
• C: Counter-trend or Weak.
PART 3: THE DASHBOARD ECOSYSTEM
Three panels provide Total Situational Awareness. You must read them in order: Top Right → Bottom Left → Bottom Right.
1. MISSION CONTROL (Top Right)
This panel tells you the "Weather Report."
• Neural Status:
• 🧠 TREND: Safe to trade breakout and trend-following strategies.
• 🧠 CHOP: Danger. Use mean-reversion or stay out.
• 🧠 RND (Random): No clear edge.
• Phase: Displays the Bias (Bull/Bear) and Strength. "WEAK BEARISH" usually signals a bottom is forming.
• Score Bar: A live visual meter of the Confluence Score (0-100%).
2. THE ASSISTANT (Bottom Left)
This panel acts as your co-pilot, translating data into English.
• Situation:
• "💎 BULL GEM": You are in a range, at the bottom, showing exhaustion. Buy immediately.
• "🔥 COMPRESSION": Volatility squeeze. A violent move is imminent.
• Action: Tells you exactly what to do (e.g., "Wait for confluence," "Trail Stop," "Let it develop").
• Pro Metrics (Simulated):
• Win Rate: The percentage of signals on the current visible chart that hit Target 1.
• Profit Factor: Gross Win / Gross Loss. If this is < 1.0, stop trading this asset immediately.
• Buckets: Shows the win rate of A-Grade signals vs. C-Grade signals.
3. WAVE INTELLIGENCE (Bottom Right)
This panel provides structural context.
• Channel Gauge (0-100%):
• 0-20%: Oversold / Channel Bottom.
• 80-100%: Overbought / Channel Top.
• 50%: Equilibrium.
• W3/W1 Ratio: The "Health Check" of the trend.
• < 1.0: Weak. Wave 3 is shorter than Wave 1. The trend is struggling.
• > 1.618: Extended. The move is parabolic. Expect a snap-back.
• Trend Health (0-100): Composite score of sub-wave physics. If Health < 30, the trend is effectively dead.
PART 4: PARAMETER OPTIMIZATION (THE INPUTS)
Every input allows you to tune the engine. Here is the deep dive:
🧠 NEURAL ADAPTIVE ENGINE
• Enable Neural Adaptive Engine: Master switch for the Hurst calculation.
• Hurst Period (100):
• Adjustment: Increase to 200 for Crypto/Alts (too much noise). Decrease to 50 for
Forex/Indices (need speed).
• How to tell: If the dashboard says "TREND" but the chart is sideways, INCREASE this value.
• Min/Max Lookback: Defines the constraints. Only adjust if you are an advanced user creating a custom scalping setup (e.g., Min 3 / Max 10).
🌊 WAVE & STRUCTURE
• Base Swing Detection (8): The "Anchor."
• Scalpers (1m-5m): Set to 5-8.
• Swing Traders (1H-4H): Set to 15-20.
• Min Wave Size (ATR): Prevents the script from labeling tiny wicks as waves. Increase this during high-volatility news events.
🔗 MTF STRUCTURE MAPPING
• Require Macro Align: Strict Mode. If enabled, the script checks the Higher Timeframe (e.g., 4H). If 4H is Bearish, it BLOCKS all Long signals on the 5m chart. Use this to prevent counter-trend losses.
🏦 SMART MONEY CONCEPTS
• Enable Breakers: ALWAYS ON. This turns failed Order Blocks into Breaker Zones (Purple).
• Institutional Mode: ULTRA STRICT. If enabled, signals will ONLY fire if price is physically touching an Order Block, FVG, or Breaker. This creates very few, very high-quality signals.
🎯 SIGNAL ENGINE
• Signal Mode:
• Strict: Grades A+ and A only.
• Balanced: Grades B and above.
• Aggressive: Includes counter-trend scalps (Grade C).
• Min Confluence Score (5-35): The raw points needed to trigger. 5 is standard. 10 is conservative.
PART 5: TRADE EXECUTION PLAYBOOKS
PLAYBOOK A: THE "BREAKER RETEST" (Highest Probability)
1. Context: Ribbon is Green.
2. Event: Price creates a Red Order Block, then smashes upward through it.
3. Change: The Red Block turns Purple (Bullish Breaker).
4. Trigger: Price pulls back down to touch the top of the Purple Box.
5. Signal: Green Triangle appears.
6. Action: Max Size Entry. Stop Loss below the Purple Box. Target Wave 3 Projection.
PLAYBOOK B: THE "WAVE 4 DIP" (Trend Following)
1. Context: Wave count shows "3". Ribbon is Green.
2. Event: Price pulls back towards the Ribbon.
3. Wave Panel: Wave count flips to "4".
4. Trigger: Price touches Ribbon, prints Green Triangle.
5. Action: Standard Size Entry. Stop Loss at Swing Low. Target New High (Wave 5).
PLAYBOOK C: THE "HIDDEN GEM" (Range Reversal)
1. Context: Ribbon is Grey (Consolidation). Neural Status is CHOP.
2. Wave Panel: Channel Gauge is < 10% (Extreme Bottom).
3. Visuals: Orange Exhaustion Dot + Divergence Diamond (◆).
4. Assistant: Reads "💎 BULL GEM".
5. Action: Half Size Entry. This is a counter-trend trade. Target the middle of the range (50% Channel).
PLAYBOOK D: THE "BULL TRAP" (When to Fold)
1. Context: Wave Count is "5".
2. Wave Panel: Trend Health < 30. W3/W1 Ratio > 1.618 (Extended).
3. Visuals: Orange Line appears on price high.
4. Signal: Green Triangle appears (Grade C).
5. Action: NO TRADE. The system is warning you that even though a signal fired, the structural physics indicate exhaustion.
PART 6: GRADING & SCORING MATRIX
Every signal is graded on a 35-point scale. Know what you are buying.
• Trend Alignment (5 pts): Ribbon & HTF agreement.
• Structure (5 pts): BOS (Break of Structure) & Higher Highs.
• Physics (5 pts): MPI (Volume Flow) & Angular Velocity.
• Institutional Location (10 pts):
• Inside Order Block: +3 pts
• Inside Breaker: +4 pts
• Wave 2/4 Pullback: +3 pts
• Penalty: Wave 5 Extension (-3 pts).
Grade Scale:
• A+ (Score ≥ 70%): "All In" Setup.
• A (Score 55-69%): Strong Setup.
• B (Score 40-54%): Standard Setup.
• C (Score < 40%): Dangerous.
PART 7: RISK DISCLOSURE & LIMITATIONS
1. The Reality of Adaptation (Redrawing):
The Neural Engine is dynamic. As new data arrives, the calculation of "Chaos" changes. This means historical channel lines or wave labels may shift to fit the matured trend. HOWEVER: Entry Signals (Triangles) NEVER repaint once the bar is closed.
2. Simulation vs. Reality:
The Dashboard metrics (Win Rate, Profit Factor) are Simulations run on the historical data visible on your chart. They do not account for spread, slippage, or liquidity. They are a tool to gauge the current market personality, not a promise of future returns.
3. No Financial Advice:
Wave Dynamics is a tool for structural analysis. It helps you see the market, but it cannot trade for you. You are responsible for your own risk management.
CLOSING THOUGHTS
Wave Dynamics is not just an indicator; it is a lens. It allows you to see the market not as a random walk of candles, but as a structured, breathing entity.
Trust the Neural Status. Respect the Breakers. Fear the Exhaustion.
Taking you to school. — Dskyz, Trade with insight. Trade with anticipation.

Signal Architect Stop-Hunt GOLD 5MINSignal Architect™ — Developer Note
These daily posts are intentional.
They are designed to help potential users visually observe consistency—not just in outcomes, but in process—across multiple futures products, market conditions, and timeframes, using the Stop Hunt Indicator alongside my proprietary Signal Architect™ framework.
The goal is simple:
To show how structure, behavior, and probability repeat—every day—despite a constantly changing market.
If you follow these posts over time, you will begin to recognize that:
• The same behaviors appear across different futures contracts
• The same reactions occur on multiple timeframes
• The same structural traps and stop events repeat regardless of volatility regime
That consistency is not coincidence.
Consistency is the signal.
Over time, that consistency should become familiar—
and familiarity should become your edge.

Elliott Wave: Pro ForecastElliott Wave: Pro Forecast (Dual-Path Prediction)
The "Fork in the Road" for Price Action. Most indicators show you where price has been. This indicator predicts where price could go using standard Elliott Wave Fibonacci ratios and volatility analysis.
Unlike standard forecasters that force a single path, Pro Forecast acknowledges that the market is probabilistic. It visualizes the two most likely outcomes simultaneously:
Continuation: The current trend extends deeper (or higher).
Reversal: The trend exhausts and begins a new 5-wave motive structure.
How It Works
The script identifies the most recent "Live Pivot" (the unconfirmed high or low currently forming) and calculates volatility based on the previous swing. It then projects future price action using two distinct models:
The Extension Model: Projects a generic 0.5 volatility continuation.
The Wave Model: Projects a standard Elliott Wave 5-step sequence (or ABC correction) using classic Fibonacci ratios (0.382 retracements, 1.618 extensions).
Key Features
Dual-Path Visualization: See the Bearish breakdown and Bullish bounce scenarios at the same time.
"Dip Buy" Mode (Linked Scenarios): A unique feature that links the two paths. Instead of reversing now, it simulates a reversal starting after the extension. This is perfect for planning entries at lower support levels.
Smart Target Grid: Draws horizontal dotted lines at key price targets, making it easier to line up predictions with existing Support/Resistance zones.
Invalidation Level: Automatically marks the "Hard Stop" level (Start of Wave 1). If price crosses this red line, the bullish/bearish thesis is invalid.
Zero-Floor Logic: Smart math ensures projections never predict negative stock prices, even on high-volatility/low-cap assets.
Settings Guide
Sensitivity: Controls how fast pivots are detected.
Daily Chart: Recommend 3-4 for a 1-week outlook.
4H Chart: Recommend 8-12.
Show Continuation: Toggles the "Extension" line (Orange).
Show Reversal: Toggles the "Next Wave" sequence (Blue).
Start Reversal after Extension?:
Unchecked: Reversal starts from the current price (Current Bounce).
Checked: Reversal starts from the end of the Extension line (Future Bounce).
Risk Disclaimer
This tool is for educational purposes and visualization only. It projects geometric probabilities based on past volatility, not certainty. Always use proper risk management.
Alpha Hunter System [MTF + Risk Manager] by Amit NamdeoThis is a comprehensive, "Institutional-Grade" Trend Following System. It is designed not just to give signals, but to filter out bad trades, manage risk automatically, and help you exit at the right time.
Here is a breakdown of exactly how your script works:
1. The Core Engine (High/Low Channel)
The Foundation: Instead of a single line, the script creates a Channel using two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs).
Green Line: 50 EMA calculated on the Highs of the candles.
Red Line: 50 EMA calculated on the Lows of the candles.
The Logic: This creates a "No-Trade Zone" in the middle.
BUY Signal: Generated when price forcefully breaks above the Green High band.
SELL Signal: Generated when price forcefully breaks below the Red Low band.
2. The "Smart Filters" (Safety Mechanisms)
To prevent false signals (whipsaws), the script checks three separate conditions before showing a Buy or Sell label:
A. Sensitivity Filter (ATR): The price must not just touch the line; it must break it by a specific margin (based on Volatility/ATR). This filters out small wicks.
B. Volume Filter: A breakout is ignored if the Volume is low. The script requires the breakout candle's volume to be higher than the recent average. This ensures "Smart Money" supports the move.
C. Sideways Filter (ADX): Uses the Average Directional Index (ADX). If the trend is weak (ADX < 20), the channel turns Gray and blocks all signals. This saves you from trading in choppy, flat markets.
D. Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Consensus: This is the "60% Rule." The script secretly checks the trend on the 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, and Daily charts. It only allows a signal if the majority of these timeframes agree with the direction.
3. Automatic Risk Management
This feature automates the math that professional traders usually do in Excel:
Dynamic Stop Loss (SL):
On a Buy, the SL is set to the Red (Low) Band.
On a Sell, the SL is set to the Green (High) Band.
Why? This adapts the SL to the current market volatility.
Take Profit Targets (TP):
It calculates your Risk (Entry - SL).
TP1: 1.5x Risk.
TP2: 2.5x Risk.
TP3: 4.0x Risk.
Visuals: It draws these lines on the chart immediately when a signal appears, so you know exactly where to place your orders.
4. Trailing Stop (The Purple Line)
What it is: A dynamic Purple Line that appears behind the candles.
How it works: It acts like a "Chandelier Exit."
As price moves in your favor, the line moves up to lock in profit.
It never moves backward.
Exit Rule: If a candle closes across this purple line, the trend is likely over, and you should exit.
Live Label: A label follows the line showing the exact price (e.g., "Trail SL: 1950.2") so you can update your order easily.
5. Alerts & Dashboard
Dashboard (Top Right): A live status panel showing:
Current Trend (Bullish/Bearish/Sideways).
MTF Consensus (Are the other timeframes agreeing?).
Volume Status (Pass/Fail).
Alerts: You can set phone/desktop notifications for:
Entries: Buy/Sell.
Targets: TP1, TP2, TP3 Hit.
Safety: Trailing Stop Hit (Exit trade).
Summary of Visual Colors
🟢 Green Channel: Bullish Trend (Look for Buys).
🔴 Red Channel: Bearish Trend (Look for Sells).
⚪ Gray Channel: Sideways Market (Do Not Trade).
🟣 Purple Line: Your Trailing Stop Loss.
Kalman Absorption/Distribution Tracker 3-State EKFQuant-Grade Institutional Flow: 3-State EKF Absorption Tracker
SUMMARY
An advanced, open-source implementation of a 3-State Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) designed to track institutional Order Flow. By analyzing 1-second intrabar microstructure data, this script estimates the true Position, Velocity, and Volatility of the Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD), revealing hidden Absorption and Distribution events in real-time.
INTRODUCTION: THE SIGNAL AMIDST THE NOISE
In the world of technical analysis, noise is the enemy. Traditional indicators rely on Moving Averages (SMA, EMA) to smooth out price and volume data. The problem is the "Lag vs. Noise" paradox: to get a smooth signal, you must accept lag; to get a fast signal, you must accept noise.
This indicator solves that paradox by introducing aerospace-grade mathematics to the TradingView community: The 3-State Extended Kalman Filter (EKF).
Unlike moving averages that blindly average past data, a Kalman Filter is a probabilistic state-space model. It constantly predicts where the order flow "should" be, compares it to the actual measurement, and updates its internal model based on the calculated uncertainty of the market.
This script is not just another volume oscillator. It is a full microstructure analysis engine that digests intrabar data (down to 1-second resolution) to track the true intent of "Smart Money" while filtering out the noise of retail chop.
THE INNOVATION: WHY 3 STATES?
Most Kalman Filters found in public libraries are "1-State" (tracking price only) or occasionally "2-State" (tracking price and velocity). This script introduces a highly advanced 3-State EKF.
The filter tracks three distinct variables simultaneously in a feedback loop:
State 1: Position (The True CVD)
This is the noise-filtered estimate of the Cumulative Volume Delta. It represents the actual inventory accumulation of aggressive buyers versus sellers, stripped of random noise.
State 2: Velocity (The Momentum)
This tracks the rate of change of the order flow. Is buying accelerating? Is selling pressure fading even as price drops? This provides a leading signal before the cumulative value even turns.
State 3: Volatility (The Adaptive Regime)
This is the game-changer. The filter estimates the current volatility of the order flow (Log-Volatility). In high-volatility environments (like news events), the filter automatically widens its uncertainty bands (Covariance) and reacts faster. In low-volatility environments (chop), it tightens up and ignores minor fluctuations.
THE LOGIC: DETECTING ABSORPTION AND DISTRIBUTION
The core philosophy of this indicator is based on Wyckoff Logic: Effort vs. Result.
-- Effort: Represented by the CVD (Buying/Selling pressure).
-- Result: Represented by Price Movement.
When these two diverge, we have an actionable signal. The script uses the EKF Velocity state to detect these moments:
Absorption (Bullish)
This occurs when the EKF detects high negative Velocity (aggressive selling), but Price refuses to drop. The "Smart Money" is absorbing the sell orders via limit buys. The indicator highlights this as a Blue Event in the dashboard.
Distribution (Bearish)
This occurs when the EKF detects high positive Velocity (aggressive buying), but Price refuses to rise. Limit sellers are capping the market. The indicator highlights this as an Orange Event.
TECHNICAL DEEP DIVE: UNDER THE HOOD
For the developers and quants, here is how the Pine Script is architected using the "type" and "method" features of Pine Script v5.
1. Data Ingestion (Microstructure)
The script uses "request.security_lower_tf" to pull intrabar data regardless of your chart timeframe. This allows the script to see "inside" the bar. A 5-minute candle might look green, but the microstructure might reveal that 80% of the volume was selling absorption at the wick. This script sees that.
2. Tick Classification
Standard CVD assumes that if Price Close is greater than Price Open, all volume is buying. This is often flawed. This script offers three modes of tick handling, including a "High-Low Distribution" method that statistically apportions volume based on where the tick closed relative to its high and low.
3. The EKF Mathematics
The script implements the standard Extended Kalman Filter equations manually. It calculates the Jacobian matrix to handle the non-linear relationship between volatility and price. The "Process Noise Matrix" (Q) is dynamically scaled by the Volatility State. This means the mathematics of the indicator literally "breathe" with the market conditions—expanding during expansion and contracting during consolidation.
THE DASHBOARD & VISUALS:
The indicator features a professional-grade HUD (Heads Up Display) located on the chart table.
-- EKF State Vector: Displays the real-time Position, Velocity, and Volatility values derived from the matrix.
-- Ease of Movement (Wyckoff): Calculates how much price moves per 1,000 contracts of CVD. For example, if Price moves +5 points per 1k Buy CVD, but only -2 points per 1k Sell CVD, the "Path of Least Resistance" is clearly UP.
-- Session State: Tracks cumulative confirmed Bullish vs. Bearish events for Today, Yesterday, and the Day Before (3-Day Profile).
-- Bias Summary: An algorithmic conclusion telling you if the day is "Confirmed Bullish," "Accumulating," or "Neutral."
HOW TO TRADE THIS INDICATOR
Strategy A: The Reversal (Absorption Play)
Look for price making a Lower Low.
Look for the EKF Velocity (Histogram) to be Deep Red (High Selling Pressure).
Watch the Dashboard "Absorption" count increase.
SIGNAL: When EKF Velocity crosses back toward zero and turns grey/green, the absorption is complete. This indicates sellers are exhausted and limit buyers have control.
Strategy B: The Trend Continuation (Ease of Movement)
Check the Dashboard "Ease of Movement" section.
If "Price per +1K CVD" is significantly higher than "Price per -1K CVD", buyers are efficient.
Wait for a pullback where EKF Velocity hits the "Neutral Zone" (Gray).
SIGNAL: Enter Long when Velocity ticks positive again, aligning with the dominant Ease of Movement stats.
CONFIGURATION GUIDE:
Because this is a quant-grade tool, the settings allow for fine-tuning the physics of the filter.
-- Velocity Decay: Controls how fast momentum resets to zero. Set high (0.98) for trending markets, or lower (0.85) for mean-reverting chop.
-- Volatility Persistence: Controls how "sticky" volatility regimes are.
-- Process Noise: Increase this if the filter feels too laggy; decrease it if the filter feels too jittery (noisy).
-- Measurement Noise: Increase this to trust the Mathematical Model more than the Price Data (smoother output).
WHY OPEN SOURCE?
Complex statistical filtering is often sold behind closed doors in expensive "Black Box" algorithms. By releasing this 3-State EKF open source, the goal is to raise the standard of development on TradingView.
I encourage the community to inspect the code, specifically the "ekf_update_3state" function, to understand how matrix operations can be simulated in Pine Script to create adaptive, self-correcting indicators. And also update me for improvements.
DISCLAIMER:
This tool analyzes microstructure volume data. It requires a subscription plan that supports Intrabar inspection (Premium/Pro recommended for best results). Past performance of the Kalman Filter logic does not guarantee future results. Volume analysis is subjective and should be used as part of a comprehensive strategy.
SUGGESTED SETTINGS
-- Timeframe: Works best on 1m, 3m, or 5m charts (Intrabar data is fetched from 1S).
-- Asset Class: Highly effective on Futures (ES, NQ, BTC) and high-volume Forex/Crypto pairs where volume data is reliable.
-- Background: Dark mode recommended for Dashboard visibility.
WHAT IS A KALMAN FILTER?
Imagine driving a car into a tunnel where your GPS signal is lost.
Prediction: Your car knows its last speed (Velocity) and position. It predicts where you are every second inside the tunnel.
Update: When you exit the tunnel, the GPS connects again. The system compares where it thought you were versus where the satellite says you are.
Correction: It corrects your position and updates its estimate of your speed.
Now apply this to trading:
-- The Tunnel: Market Noise, wicks, and Fake-outs.
-- The Car: The True Market Trend.
-- This Indicator: The navigation system that tells you where the market actually is, ignoring the noise of the tunnel.
Enjoy the indicator and trade safe!

SMC + Dual UT Bot buy and sell AlertsThis script is a composite indicator for TradingView (Pine Script v5) that merges Smart Money Concepts (SMC) with a Dual-instance UT Bot. It has been styled with a high-contrast "Neon Cyberpunk" theme (Cyan/Pink) and is fully compliant with the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.
Here is a breakdown of its two main components:
1. Smart Money Concepts (SMC)
This portion, originally by LuxAlgo, is designed to identify institutional price levels and structural market shifts. It provides a detailed map of market structure rather than simple entry/exit signals.
Market Structure (BOS & CHoCH):
BOS (Break of Structure): Marks trend continuation (e.g., breaking a higher high in an uptrend).
CHoCH (Change of Character): Marks potential trend reversals (e.g., the first time a higher low is broken in an uptrend).
Order Blocks (OB):
Highlights specific candles where institutional buying or selling likely occurred. These act as high-probability support/resistance zones.
Neon Blue/Cyan for Bullish OBs.
Neon Pink for Bearish OBs.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG):
Identifies imbalances (gaps) in price action where the market often returns to "fill" orders.
Neon Mint for Bullish FVGs.
Neon Red for Bearish FVGs.
Premium/Discount Zones: Automatically plots the range equilibrium (50% level) to help you buy in "Discount" (low) and sell in "Premium" (high) areas.
Liquidity (EQH/EQL): Automatically detects "Equal Highs" and "Equal Lows," which are magnets for price as they represent liquidity pools (stop losses).
2. Dual UT Bot Alerts
This portion provides the actual Entry Signals. It runs two separate instances of the "UT Bot" strategy simultaneously with different sensitivity settings to filter noise.
Instance 1 (Buy Only):
Settings: Key Value = 4, ATR Period = 10 (Faster, more sensitive).
Visual: Plots a Neon Cyan "Buy" label.
Function: Looks for bullish reversals earlier to catch the start of a move.
Instance 2 (Sell Only):
Settings: Key Value = 7, ATR Period = 20 (Slower, smoother).
Visual: Plots a Neon Pink "Sell" label.
Function: Uses a wider ATR band to avoid getting shaken out of shorts too early, focusing on major downtrends.
How to Use It
The strength of this script is confluence.
Wait for a Signal: Look for a UT Bot "Buy" or "Sell" tag.
Confirm with SMC: Check if the signal aligns with SMC concepts.
Example Buy: Did the UT Bot give a "Buy" signal while price was bouncing off a Bullish Order Block?
Example Buy: Did price just sweep Liquidity (EQL) before the Buy signal?
Example Sell: Is the "Sell" signal happening inside a Premium Zone or a Bearish Fair Value Gap?
Ultimate Futures Daytrade Suite v1 - The Strategy GuideHere is the complete **Strategy Guide** translated into English.

# 📘 Ultimate Futures Daytrade Suite – The Strategy Guide
### 1. The Visual Legend (What is what?)
Before you trade, you need to understand the hierarchy of your lines. Not every line has the same importance.
* **🟣 Daily EMA 50 (Neon Violet):** The **"Big Boss"**. It determines the **Macro Trend**.
* *Price above:* We are primarily looking for Longs.
* *Price below:* We are primarily looking for Shorts.
* **🟢 4h EMA 50 (Neon Green):** The **"Swing Trend"**. Your most important level for **Pullback Entries** (Re-entries).
* **🟡 POC (Gold) & TPO:** The **"Magnet"**. Price often returns here.
* *Rule:* Never open a trade directly *on* the POC (Risk of "Chop"). Use it as a **Target** (Take Profit).
* **🟠 IB High/Low (Orange Lines):** The **"Daily Structure"**.
* A breakout from the IB (Initial Balance) often indicates the trend direction for the day.
* **🟥/🟩 Boxes (Supply/Demand):** Resistance and Support zones from the 1h timeframe.
* **⬜ FVG Boxes:** "Gaps" in the market that are often filled.
---
### 2. The Trading Workflow (Top-Down Method)
Go through this mental checklist before every trade:
#### Step 1: Trend Check (The Traffic Light)
Look at the **Violet Line (Daily)** and the **Green Line (4h)**.
* **Bullish:** Price is above Violet AND above Green. -> *Focus: Buy dips.*
* **Bearish:** Price is below Violet AND below Green. -> *Focus: Sell rallies.*
* **Mixed:** Price is between Violet and Green. -> *Caution! Market is undecided (Range Trading).*
#### Step 2: Location (The Context)
Where is the price currently located?
* Are we at a **Green Demand Zone**?
* Are we testing the **4h EMA 50 (Green)** from above?
* Are we at the **VWAP**?
* *Never trade in "No Man's Land"!* Wait until the price touches one of your lines.
#### Step 3: Trigger (The Execution)
Now zoom into your lower timeframe (e.g., 5min or 15min).
* Wait for a reaction at the zone.
* Use the **EMA 9 (Yellow)** as a momentum trigger. If price breaks the EMA 9 and closes above/below it, that is your "Go".
---
### 3. The Setup Blueprints
Here are the two most profitable scenarios you can trade with this script:
#### A) The "Golden Trend" Setup (Long)
* **Context:** Price > **Daily EMA (Violet)**.
* **Preparation:** Price corrects (drops) back to the **4h EMA 50 (Green)** or to the **VWAP**.
* **Confluence:** Ideally, there is also a **Demand Zone (Green Box)** or an **FVG** at that level.
* **Entry:** As soon as a candle touches the zone and closes bullish again (or reclaims the EMA 9).
* **Stop-Loss:** Below the 4h EMA 50.
* **Take-Profit:** Next **Supply Zone (Red)** or the **IB High (Orange)**.
#### B) The "Daytrade Breakout" (Intraday)
* **Context:** Price opens inside yesterday's Value Area.
* **Signal:** Price breaks through the **IB High (Orange)** with momentum.
* **Filter:** Price must be above the **VWAP**.
* **Entry:** On the retest of the IB High or directly on the breakout.
* **Target:** Price often trends in that direction for the rest of the day.
---
### 4. Warning Signals (When NOT to trade)
1. **The "Concrete Ceiling":** If you want to go Long, but the **Violet Daily EMA 50** is running directly above you. This is massive resistance. Better wait until it is broken.
2. **The "POC Dance":** If price is dancing sideways around the **Gold Line (POC)**. This is a "No-Trade Zone". Day traders lose the most money here due to fees and whipsaws.
3. **Overextension:** If price is extremely far away from the **4h EMA 50 (Green)** (Rubber Band Effect). Do not enter in the trend direction here; wait for a pullback to the line.
### Summary
Your chart is now telling you a story:
* **Violet** tells you the Direction.
* **Green** gives you the Entry.
* **Red/Green Boxes** show you the Obstacles.
* **Yellow (EMA 9)** gives you the Timing.
Good luck with the Suite! This is a setup similar to what institutional traders use.

EDUVEST QQE Grade System - S/A/B/C Signal ClassificationEDUVEST QQE Grade System - S/A/B/C Signal Classification
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ ORIGINALITY
This indicator introduces a unique grading system (S/A/B/C) for QQE signals, combining traditional QQE analysis with SMC (Smart Money Concepts) price zones and trading session filters. Unlike standard QQE indicators that show all signals equally, this version classifies signals by quality to help traders focus on the highest probability setups.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ WHAT IT DOES
- Generates BUY/SELL signals with S/A/B/C grade classification
- Automatically detects asset type and applies optimized QQE factors
- Integrates SMC price zones (support/resistance) for grade enhancement
- Filters signals by trading session time
- Displays real-time session and market status
Grade Hierarchy:
- S (Gold/Orange): Signal near SMC zone + active trading hours - Highest quality
- A (Green/Red): Score 70+ during trading hours - High quality
- B (Darker): Score 50-69 during trading hours - Medium quality
- C (Gray, small): Outside trading hours or weak signal - Low quality
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ HOW IT WORKS
【QQE Core Calculation】
The QQE (Quantitative Qualitative Estimation) is calculated as:
1. RSI with configurable period (default: 14)
2. EMA smoothing of RSI (Smoothing Factor: 5)
3. Dynamic bands using Wilder's smoothing: RSI ± (ATR of RSI × QQE Factor)
QQE Factor is auto-adjusted per asset:
- USD/JPY: 4.238
- EUR/USD: 3.8
- Gold (XAU/USD): 8.0
- NASDAQ/US100: 9.0
【Signal Generation】
- BUY: QQE line crosses above its trailing stop (QQExlong == 1)
- SELL: QQE line crosses below its trailing stop (QQExshort == 1)
【Internal Scoring System】
Score components (0-100):
- Signal Base: +25 points when signal occurs
- QQE Strength: +10 to +20 based on RSI distance from 50
- Volatility: +15 (optimal ATR ratio 1.1-2.0), -10 (low volatility)
- Volume Confirmation: +10 (high volume), -5 (low volume)
- Session Bonus: +5 during London/NY sessions
- Base: +20 points
【Grade Assignment】
- Grade S: Signal near user-defined SMC price zone (within tolerance %) AND during trading hours
- Grade A: Internal score >= 70 AND during trading hours
- Grade B: Internal score >= 50 AND during trading hours
- Grade C: Outside trading hours OR score < 50
【SMC Price Zone Integration】
Users can set support/resistance levels for each asset. When price is within the tolerance percentage of these levels, signals are upgraded to S-grade, indicating confluence with institutional price levels.
【Trading Session Filter】
Configurable active trading hours (JST timezone):
- Default: 15:00 - 01:00 JST (London + NY overlap)
- Signals outside this window receive C-grade
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
█ HOW TO USE
【Recommended Settings】
- Timeframe: 15M, 1H, 4H
- Best on: USD/JPY, EUR/USD, Gold, NASDAQ
- Focus on: S and A grade signals
【Trading Strategy】

Intrabar Volume Flow IntelligenceIntrabar Volume Flow Intelligence: A Comprehensive Analysis:
The Intrabar Volume Flow Intelligence indicator represents a sophisticated approach to understanding market dynamics through the lens of volume analysis at a granular, intrabar level. This Pine Script version 5 indicator transcends traditional volume analysis by dissecting price action within individual bars to reveal the true nature of buying and selling pressure that often remains hidden when examining only the external characteristics of completed candlesticks. At its core, this indicator operates on the principle that volume is the fuel that drives price movement, and by understanding where volume is being applied within each bar—whether at higher prices indicating buying pressure or at lower prices indicating selling pressure—traders can gain a significant edge in anticipating future price movements before they become obvious to the broader market.
The foundational innovation of this indicator lies in its use of lower timeframe data to analyze what happens inside each bar on your chart timeframe. While most traders see only the open, high, low, and close of a five-minute candle, for example, this indicator requests data from a one-minute timeframe by default to see all the individual one-minute candles that comprise that five-minute bar. This intrabar analysis allows the indicator to calculate a weighted intensity score based on where the price closed within each sub-bar's range. If the close is near the high, that volume is attributed more heavily to buying pressure; if near the low, to selling pressure. This methodology is far more nuanced than simple tick volume analysis or even traditional volume delta calculations because it accounts for the actual price behavior and distribution of volume throughout the formation of each bar, providing a three-dimensional view of market participation.
The intensity calculation itself demonstrates the coding sophistication embedded in this indicator. For each intrabar segment, the indicator calculates a base intensity using the formula of close minus low divided by the range between high and low. This gives a value between zero and one, where values approaching one indicate closes near the high and values approaching zero indicate closes near the low. However, the indicator doesn't stop there—it applies an open adjustment factor that considers the relationship between the close and open positions within the overall range, adding up to twenty percent additional weighting based on directional movement. This adjustment ensures that strongly directional intrabar movement receives appropriate emphasis in the final volume allocation. The adjusted intensity is then bounded between zero and one to prevent extreme outliers from distorting the analysis, demonstrating careful consideration of edge cases and data integrity.
The volume flow calculation multiplies this intensity by the actual volume transacted in each intrabar segment, creating buy volume and sell volume figures that represent not just quantity but quality of market participation. These figures are accumulated across all intrabar segments within the parent bar, and simultaneously, a volume-weighted average price is calculated for the entire bar using the typical price of each segment multiplied by its volume. This intrabar VWAP becomes a critical reference point for understanding whether the overall bar is trading above or below its fair value as determined by actual transaction levels. The deviation from this intrabar VWAP is then used as a weighting mechanism—when the close is significantly above the intrabar VWAP, buying volume receives additional weight; when below, selling volume is emphasized. This creates a feedback loop where volume that moves price away from equilibrium is recognized as more significant than volume that keeps price near balance.
The imbalance filter represents another layer of analytical sophistication that separates meaningful volume flows from normal market noise. The indicator calculates the absolute difference between buy and sell volume as a percentage of total volume, and this imbalance must exceed a user-defined threshold—defaulted to twenty-five percent but adjustable from five to eighty percent—before the volume flow is considered significant enough to register on the indicator. This filtering mechanism ensures that only bars with clear directional conviction contribute to the cumulative flow measurements, while bars with balanced buying and selling are essentially ignored. This is crucial because markets spend considerable time in equilibrium states where volume is simply facilitating position exchanges without directional intent. By filtering out these neutral periods, the indicator focuses trader attention exclusively on moments when one side of the market is demonstrating clear dominance.
The decay factor implementation showcases advanced state management in Pine Script coding. Rather than allowing imbalanced volume to simply disappear after one bar, the indicator maintains decayed values using variable state that persists across bars. When a new significant imbalance occurs, it replaces the decayed value; when no significant imbalance is present, the previous value is multiplied by the decay factor, which defaults to zero point eight-five. This means that a large volume imbalance continues to influence the indicator for several bars afterward, gradually diminishing in impact unless reinforced by new imbalances. This decay mechanism creates persistence in the flow measurements, acknowledging that large institutional volume accumulation or distribution campaigns don't execute in single bars but rather unfold across multiple bars. The cumulative flow calculation then sums these decayed values over a lookback period, creating a running total that represents sustained directional pressure rather than momentary spikes.
The dual moving average crossover system applied to these volume flows creates actionable trading signals from the underlying data. The indicator calculates both a fast exponential moving average and a slower simple moving average of the buy flow, sell flow, and net flow values. The use of EMA for the fast line provides responsiveness to recent changes while the SMA for the slow line provides a more stable baseline, and the divergence or convergence between these averages signals shifts in volume flow momentum. When the buy flow EMA crosses above its SMA while volume is elevated, this indicates that buying pressure is not only present but accelerating, which is the foundation for the strong buy signal generation. The same logic applies inversely for selling pressure, creating a symmetrical approach to detecting both upside and downside momentum shifts based on volume characteristics rather than price characteristics.
The volume threshold filtering ensures that signals only generate during periods of statistically significant market participation. The indicator calculates a simple moving average of total volume over a user-defined period, defaulted to twenty bars, and then requires that current volume exceed this average by a multiplier, defaulted to one point two times. This ensures that signals occur during periods when the market is actively engaged rather than during quiet periods when a few large orders can create misleading volume patterns. The indicator even distinguishes between high volume—exceeding the threshold—and very high volume—exceeding one point five times the threshold—with the latter triggering background color changes to alert traders to exceptional participation levels. This tiered volume classification allows traders to calibrate their position sizing and conviction levels based on the strength of market participation supporting the signal.
The flow momentum calculation adds a velocity dimension to the volume analysis. By calculating the rate of change of the net flow EMA over a user-defined momentum length—defaulted to five bars—the indicator measures not just the direction of volume flow but the acceleration or deceleration of that flow. A positive and increasing flow momentum indicates that buying pressure is not only dominant but intensifying, which typically precedes significant upward price movements. Conversely, negative and decreasing flow momentum suggests selling pressure is building upon itself, often preceding breakdowns. The indicator even calculates a second derivative—the momentum of momentum, termed flow acceleration—which can identify very early turning points when the rate of change itself begins to shift, providing the most forward-looking signal available from this methodology.
The divergence detection system represents one of the most powerful features for identifying potential trend reversals and continuations. The indicator maintains separate tracking of price extremes and flow extremes over a lookback period defaulted to fourteen bars. A bearish divergence is identified when price makes a new high or equals the recent high, but the net flow EMA is significantly below its recent high—specifically less than eighty percent of that high—and is declining compared to its value at the divergence lookback distance. This pattern indicates that while price is pushing higher, the volume support for that movement is deteriorating, which frequently precedes reversals. Bullish divergences work inversely, identifying situations where price makes new lows without corresponding weakness in volume flow, suggesting that selling pressure is exhausted and a reversal higher is probable. These divergence signals are plotted as distinct diamond shapes on the indicator, making them visually prominent for trader attention.
The accumulation and distribution zone detection provides a longer-term context for understanding institutional positioning. The indicator uses the bars-since function to track consecutive periods where the net flow EMA has remained positive or negative. When buying pressure has persisted for at least five consecutive bars, average intensity exceeds zero point six indicating strong closes within bar ranges, and volume is elevated above the threshold, the indicator identifies an accumulation zone. These zones suggest that smart money is systematically building long positions across multiple bars despite potentially choppy or sideways price action. Distribution zones are identified through the inverse criteria, revealing periods when institutions are systematically exiting or building short positions. These zones are visualized through colored fills on the indicator pane, creating a backdrop that helps traders understand the broader volume flow context beyond individual bar signals.
The signal strength scoring system provides a quantitative measure of conviction for each buy or sell signal. Rather than treating all signals as equal, the indicator assigns point values to different signal components: twenty-five points for the buy flow EMA-SMA crossover, twenty-five points for the net flow EMA-SMA crossover, twenty points for high volume presence, fifteen points for positive flow momentum, and fifteen points for bullish divergence presence. These points are summed to create a buy score that can range from zero to one hundred percent, with higher scores indicating that multiple independent confirmation factors are aligned. The same methodology creates a sell score, and these scores are displayed in the information table, allowing traders to quickly assess whether a signal represents a tentative suggestion or a high-conviction setup. This scoring approach transforms the indicator from a binary signal generator into a nuanced probability assessment tool.
The visual presentation of the indicator demonstrates exceptional attention to user experience and information density. The primary display shows the net flow EMA as a thick colored line that transitions between green when above zero and above its SMA, indicating strong buying, to a lighter green when above zero but below the SMA, indicating weakening buying, to red when below zero and below the SMA, indicating strong selling, to a lighter red when below zero but above the SMA, indicating weakening selling. This color gradient provides immediate visual feedback about both direction and momentum of volume flows. The net flow SMA is overlaid in orange as a reference line, and a zero line is drawn to clearly delineate positive from negative territory. Behind these lines, a histogram representation of the raw net flow—scaled down by thirty percent for visibility—shows bar-by-bar flow with color intensity reflecting whether flow is strengthening or weakening compared to the previous bar. This layered visualization allows traders to simultaneously see the raw data, the smoothed trend, and the trend of the trend, accommodating both short-term and longer-term trading perspectives.
The cumulative delta line adds a macro perspective by maintaining a running sum of all volume deltas divided by one million for scale, plotted in purple as a separate series. This cumulative measure acts similar to an on-balance volume calculation but with the sophisticated volume attribution methodology of this indicator, creating a long-term sentiment gauge that can reveal whether an asset is under sustained accumulation or distribution across days, weeks, or months. Divergences between this cumulative delta and price can identify major trend exhaustion or reversal points that might not be visible in the shorter-term flow measurements.
The signal plotting uses shape-based markers rather than background colors or arrows to maximize clarity while preserving chart space. Strong buy signals—meeting multiple criteria including EMA-SMA crossover, high volume, and positive momentum—appear as full-size green triangle-up shapes at the bottom of the indicator pane. Strong sell signals appear as full-size red triangle-down shapes at the top. Regular buy and sell signals that meet fewer criteria appear as smaller, semi-transparent circles, indicating they warrant attention but lack the full confirmation of strong signals. Divergence-based signals appear as distinct diamond shapes in cyan for bullish divergences and orange for bearish divergences, ensuring these critical reversal indicators are immediately recognizable and don't get confused with momentum-based signals. This multi-tiered signal hierarchy helps traders prioritize their analysis and avoid signal overload.
The information table in the top-right corner of the indicator pane provides real-time quantitative feedback on all major calculation components. It displays the current bar's buy volume and sell volume in millions with appropriate color coding, the imbalance percentage with color indicating whether it exceeds the threshold, the average intensity score showing whether closes are generally near highs or lows, the flow momentum value, and the current buy and sell scores. This table transforms the indicator from a purely graphical tool into a quantitative dashboard, allowing discretionary traders to incorporate specific numerical thresholds into their decision frameworks. For example, a trader might require that buy score exceed seventy percent and intensity exceed zero point six-five before taking a long position, creating objective entry criteria from subjective chart reading.
The background shading that occurs during very high volume periods provides an ambient alert system that doesn't require focused attention on the indicator pane. When volume spikes to one point five times the threshold and net flow EMA is positive, a very light green background appears across the entire indicator pane; when volume spikes with negative net flow, a light red background appears. These backgrounds create a subliminal awareness of exceptional market participation moments, ensuring traders notice when the market is making important decisions even if they're focused on price action or other indicators at that moment.
The alert system built into the indicator allows traders to receive notifications for strong buy signals, strong sell signals, bullish divergences, bearish divergences, and very high volume events. These alerts can be configured in TradingView to send push notifications to mobile devices, emails, or webhook calls to automated trading systems. This functionality transforms the indicator from a passive analysis tool into an active monitoring system that can watch markets continuously and notify the trader only when significant volume flow developments occur. For traders monitoring multiple instruments, this alert capability is invaluable for efficient time allocation, allowing them to analyze other opportunities while being instantly notified when this indicator identifies high-probability setups on their watch list.
The coding implementation demonstrates advanced Pine Script techniques including the use of request.security_lower_tf to access intrabar data, array manipulation to process variable-length intrabar arrays, proper variable scoping with var keyword for persistent state management across bars, and efficient conditional logic that prevents unnecessary calculations. The code structure with clearly delineated sections for inputs, calculations, signal generation, plotting, and alerts makes it maintainable and educational for those studying Pine Script development. The use of input groups with custom headers creates an organized settings panel that doesn't overwhelm users with dozens of ungrouped parameters, while still providing substantial customization capability for advanced users who want to optimize the indicator for specific instruments or timeframes.
For practical trading application, this indicator excels in several specific use cases. Scalpers and day traders can use the intrabar analysis to identify accumulation or distribution happening within the bars of their entry timeframe, providing early entry signals before momentum indicators or price patterns complete. Swing traders can use the cumulative delta and accumulation-distribution zones to understand whether short-term pullbacks in an uptrend are being bought or sold, helping distinguish between healthy retracements and trend reversals. Position traders can use the divergence detection to identify major turning points where price extremes are not supported by volume, providing low-risk entry points for counter-trend positions or warnings to exit with-trend positions before significant reversals.
The indicator is particularly valuable in ranging markets where price-based indicators produce numerous false breakout signals. By requiring that breakouts be accompanied by volume flow imbalances, the indicator filters out failed breakouts driven by low participation. When price breaks a range boundary accompanied by a strong buy or sell signal with high buy or sell score and very high volume, the probability of successful breakout follow-through increases dramatically. Conversely, when price breaks a range but the indicator shows low imbalance, opposing flow direction, or low volume, traders can fade the breakout or at minimum avoid chasing it.
During trending markets, the indicator helps traders identify the healthiest entry points by revealing where pullbacks are being accumulated by smart money. A trending market will show the cumulative delta continuing in the trend direction even as price pulls back, and accumulation zones will form during these pullbacks. When price resumes the trend, the indicator will generate strong buy or sell signals with high scores, providing objective entry points with clear invalidation levels. The flow momentum component helps traders stay with trends longer by distinguishing between healthy momentum pauses—where momentum goes to zero but doesn't reverse—and actual momentum reversals where opposing pressure is building.
The VWAP deviation weighting adds particular value for traders of liquid instruments like major forex pairs, stock indices, and high-volume stocks where VWAP is widely watched by institutional participants. When price deviates significantly from the intrabar VWAP and volume flows in the direction of that deviation with elevated weighting, it indicates that the move away from fair value is being driven by conviction rather than mechanical order flow. This suggests the deviation will likely extend further, creating continuation trading opportunities. Conversely, when price deviates from intrabar VWAP but volume flow shows reduced intensity or opposing direction despite the weighting, it suggests the deviation will revert to VWAP, creating mean reversion opportunities.
The ATR normalization option makes the indicator values comparable across different volatility regimes and different instruments. Without normalization, a one-million share buy-sell imbalance might be significant for a low-volatility stock but trivial for a high-volatility cryptocurrency. By normalizing the delta by ATR, the indicator accounts for the typical price movement capacity of the instrument, making signal thresholds and comparison values meaningful across different trading contexts. This is particularly valuable for traders running the indicator on multiple instruments who want consistent signal quality regardless of the underlying instrument characteristics.
The configurable decay factor allows traders to adjust how persistent they want volume flows to remain influential. For very short-term scalping, a lower decay factor like zero point five will cause volume imbalances to dissipate quickly, keeping the indicator focused only on very recent flows. For longer-term position trading, a higher decay factor like zero point nine-five will allow significant volume events to influence the indicator for many bars, revealing longer-term accumulation and distribution patterns. This flexibility makes the single indicator adaptable to trading styles ranging from one-minute scalping to daily chart position trading simply by adjusting the decay parameter and the lookback bars.
The minimum imbalance percentage setting provides crucial noise filtering that can be optimized per instrument. Highly liquid instruments with tight spreads might show numerous small imbalances that are meaningless, requiring a higher threshold like thirty-five or forty percent to filter noise effectively. Thinly traded instruments might rarely show extreme imbalances, requiring a lower threshold like fifteen or twenty percent to generate adequate signals. By making this threshold user-configurable with a wide range, the indicator accommodates the full spectrum of market microstructure characteristics across different instruments and timeframes.
In conclusion, the Intrabar Volume Flow Intelligence indicator represents a comprehensive volume analysis system that combines intrabar data access, sophisticated volume attribution algorithms, multi-timeframe smoothing, statistical filtering, divergence detection, zone identification, and intelligent signal scoring into a cohesive analytical framework. It provides traders with visibility into market dynamics that are invisible to price-only analysis and even to conventional volume analysis, revealing the true intentions of market participants through their actual transaction behavior within each bar. The indicator's strength lies not in any single feature but in the integration of multiple analytical layers that confirm and validate each other, creating high-probability signal generation that can form the foundation of complete trading systems or provide powerful confirmation for discretionary analysis. For traders willing to invest time in understanding its components and optimizing its parameters for their specific instruments and timeframes, this indicator offers a significant informational advantage in increasingly competitive markets where edge is derived from seeing what others miss and acting on that information before it becomes consensus.
Liquidity Trend Horizon [Pineify]Pineify - Liquidity Trend Horizon
The Liquidity Trend Horizon is a sophisticated trend-following indicator designed to identify potential liquidity sweep zones while providing clear visual trend direction. It combines adaptive volatility bands with smart liquidity detection to help traders spot high-probability reversal points where institutional activity may be occurring.
Key Features
Dynamic trend baseline using WMA and EMA smoothing
ATR-based volatility bands that adapt to market conditions
Automatic liquidity sweep detection with visual alerts
Gradient-filled channels for intuitive trend visualization
Real-time candle coloring based on trend direction
How It Works
The indicator calculates a weighted moving average (WMA) of the closing price, then applies exponential smoothing (EMA) to create a responsive yet stable baseline. This dual-smoothing approach filters out market noise while maintaining sensitivity to genuine trend changes.
Volatility bands are constructed using a 200-period Average True Range (ATR) multiplied by a user-defined factor. This creates dynamic support and resistance zones that automatically widen during volatile periods and contract during consolidation.
How Multiple Indicators Work Together
The synergy between WMA, EMA, and ATR creates a comprehensive trend analysis system:
The WMA provides the initial trend estimation with emphasis on recent price action
The EMA layer adds smoothness to reduce false signals
The ATR bands define probabilistic boundaries where price is likely to find support or resistance
Trading Ideas and Insights
Liquidity sweeps occur when price wicks beyond the volatility bands but closes back within the channel. These events often indicate:
Stop-loss hunting by larger market participants
False breakouts that may lead to reversals
Areas of accumulated liquidity being absorbed
A bullish sweep (wick below lower band, close above) suggests potential buying opportunity. A bearish sweep (wick above upper band, close below) may signal selling pressure.
Unique Aspects
Unlike traditional channel indicators, the Liquidity Trend Horizon specifically identifies sweep events where price temporarily breaks boundaries before reverting. This behavior is commonly associated with institutional order flow and smart money concepts.
How to Use
Observe the baseline color for overall trend direction (cyan for bullish, purple for bearish)
Watch for sweep markers (🚀 BULL / 📉 BEAR) at band extremes
Use background flashes as immediate alerts for sweep events
Consider entries when sweeps align with the prevailing trend direction
Customization
Trend Period - Adjust baseline sensitivity (default: 24)
Channel Width Multiplier - Control band distance from baseline (default: 2.0)
Smoothness - Fine-tune signal responsiveness (default: 5)
Color Settings - Personalize bullish/bearish colors and transparency
Conclusion
The Liquidity Trend Horizon bridges technical analysis with liquidity concepts, offering traders a unique perspective on market structure. By highlighting potential sweep zones within an adaptive trend framework, it helps identify areas where reversals are statistically more likely to occur.
Sentinel Market Structure [JOAT]
Sentinel Market Structure - Smart Money Structure Analysis
Introduction and Purpose
Sentinel Market Structure is an open-source overlay indicator that identifies swing highs/lows, tracks market structure (HH/HL/LH/LL), detects Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) signals, and marks order blocks. The core problem this indicator solves is that retail traders often miss structural shifts that smart money traders use to identify trend changes.
This indicator addresses that by automatically tracking market structure and alerting traders to key structural breaks that often precede significant moves.
Why These Components Work Together
Each component provides different structural information:
1. Swing Detection - Identifies significant pivot highs and lows. These are the building blocks of market structure.
2. Structure Labels (HH/HL/LH/LL) - Classifies each swing relative to the previous swing. Higher Highs + Higher Lows = uptrend. Lower Highs + Lower Lows = downtrend.
3. Break of Structure (BOS) - Identifies when price breaks a swing level in the direction of the trend. This is a continuation signal.
4. Change of Character (CHoCH) - Identifies when price breaks a swing level against the trend. This is a potential reversal signal.
5. Order Blocks - Marks the last opposing candle before an impulse move. These zones often act as future support/resistance.
How the Detection Works
Swing Detection:
bool swingHighDetected = high == ta.highest(high, swingLength * 2 + 1)
bool swingLowDetected = low == ta.lowest(low, swingLength * 2 + 1)
BOS vs CHoCH Logic:
// BOS: Break in direction of trend (continuation)
bool bullishBOS = close > lastSwingHigh and marketTrend >= 0
// CHoCH: Break against trend (reversal signal)
bool bullishCHOCH = close > lastSwingHigh and marketTrend < 0
Order Block Detection:
bool bullOB = close < open and // Previous candle bearish
close > open and // Current candle bullish
close > high and // Breaking above
(high - low) > ta.atr(14) * 1.5 // Strong impulse
Signal Types
HH (Higher High) - Swing high above previous swing high (bullish structure)
HL (Higher Low) - Swing low above previous swing low (bullish structure)
LH (Lower High) - Swing high below previous swing high (bearish structure)
LL (Lower Low) - Swing low below previous swing low (bearish structure)
BOS↑/BOS↓ - Break of structure in trend direction (continuation)
CHoCH↑/CHoCH↓ - Change of character against trend (potential reversal)
Dashboard Information
Trend - Current market bias (BULLISH/BEARISH/NEUTRAL)
Swing High - Last swing high price with HH/LH label
Swing Low - Last swing low price with HL/LL label
Structure - Current structure state (HH+HL, LH+LL, etc.)
Price - Price position relative to structure
How to Use This Indicator
For Trend Following:
1. Identify trend using structure (HH+HL = uptrend, LH+LL = downtrend)
2. Enter on BOS signals in trend direction
3. Use swing levels for stop placement
For Reversal Trading:
1. Watch for CHoCH signals (break against trend)
2. Confirm with order block formation
3. Enter on retest of order block zone
For Risk Management:
1. Place stops beyond swing highs/lows
2. Use structure lines as trailing stop references
3. Exit when CHoCH signals against your position
