Liquidity Levels/Voids (VP) [LuxAlgo]The Liquidity Levels/Voids (VP) is a script designed to detect liquidity voids & levels by measuring traded volume at all price levels on the market between two swing points and highlighting the distribution of the liquidity voids & levels at specific price levels.
🔶 USAGE
Liquidity is a fundamental market force that shapes the trajectory of assets.
The creation of a liquidity level comes as a result of an initial imbalance of supply/demand, which forms what we know as a swing high or swing low. As more players take positions in the market, these are levels that market participants will use as a historical reference to place their stops. When the levels are then re-tested, a decision will be made. The binary outcome here can be a breakout of the level or a reversal back to the mean.
Liquidity voids are sudden price changes that occur in the market when the price jumps from one level to another with little trading activity (low volume), creating an imbalance in price. The price tends to fill or retest the liquidity voids area, and traders understand at which price level institutional players have been active.
Liquidity voids are a valuable concept in trading, as they provide insights about where many orders were injected, creating this inefficiency in the market. The price tends to restore the balance.
🔶 SETTINGS
The script takes into account user-defined parameters and detects the liquidity voids based on them, where detailed usage for each user-defined input parameter in indicator settings is provided with the related input's tooltip.
🔹 Liquidity Levels / Voids
Liquidity Levels/Voids: Color customization option for Unfilled Liquidity Levels/Voids.
Detection Length: Lookback period used for the calculation of Swing Levels.
Threshold %: Threshold used for the calculation of the Liquidity Levels & Voids.
Sensitivity: Adjusts the number of levels between two swing points, as a result, the height of a level is determined, and then based on the above-given threshold the level is checked if it matches the liquidity level/void conditions.
Filled Liquidity Levels/Voids: Toggles the visibility of the Filled Liquidity Levels/Voids and color customization option for Filled Liquidity Levels/Voids.
🔹 Other Features
Swing Highs/Lows: Toggles the visibility of the Swing Levels, where tooltips present statistical information, such as price, price change, and cumulative volume between the two swing levels detected based on the detection length specified above, Coloring options to customize swing low and swing high label colors, and Size option to adjust the size of the labels.
🔹 Display Options
Mode: Controls the lookback length of detection and visualization.
# Bars: Lookback length customization, in case Mode is set to Present.

Signal Analysis & Usage Guidelines
Buy Signal Mechanics
The buy signal triggers when:
Previous candle shows significant bearish movement (minimum ATR multiplier)
Current candle reclaims a configurable percentage of the previous candle's range
Price is near a key support level (order blocks, fibonacci, volume levels)
Sell Signal Mechanics
The sell signal triggers when:
Previous candle shows significant bullish movement (minimum ATR multiplier)
Current candle rejects below a configurable percentage of the previous candle's range
Price is near a key resistance level (order blocks, fibonacci, volume levels)
When to TAKE Signals
High Probability Buy Signals:
Signal appears AT or BELOW the VAL (Value Area Low)
Signal occurs at bullish order block confluence
Price is in LVN area below VAL (momentum acceleration zone)
Signal aligns with fibonacci 61.8% or 78.6% support
Multiple session POC levels provide support confluence
Previous session's VAL acting as current support
High Probability Sell Signals:
Signal appears AT or ABOVE the VAH (Value Area High)
Signal occurs at bearish order block confluence
Price is in HVN area above VAH (heavy resistance zone)
Signal aligns with fibonacci 61.8% or 78.6% resistance
Multiple session POC levels provide resistance confluence
Previous session's VAH acting as current resistance
When to AVOID Signals
Avoid Buy Signals When:
Signal appears ABOVE the VAH (buying into resistance)
Price is in HVN red zones (high volume resistance areas)
No clear support structure below current price
Volume profile shows heavy selling pressure (high bear percentages)
Signal occurs during low-volume periods between major sessions
Multiple bearish order blocks exist below current price
Avoid Sell Signals When:
Signal appears BELOW the VAL (selling into support)
Price is in LVN green zones (momentum could continue)
No clear resistance structure above current price
Volume profile shows heavy buying pressure (high bull percentages)
Signal occurs during Asian session ranges without clear direction
Multiple bullish order blocks exist above current price
Volume Profile Context for Signals
Understanding Bull/Bear Percentages:
70%+ Bull dominance at a level = Strong support expected
70%+ Bear dominance at a level = Strong resistance expected
50/50 Split = Neutral zone, less predictable
Use percentages to gauge conviction behind moves
POC (Point of Control) Interactions:
Signals above POC in uptrend = Higher probability
Signals below POC in downtrend = Higher probability
Signals against POC bias require extra confirmation
POC often acts as magnetic level for price return
Trading Strategies
Strategy 1: VAL/VAH Bounce Strategy
Wait for price to approach VAL (support) or VAH (resistance)
Look for signal confirmation at these critical levels
Enter with tight stops beyond the Value Area
Target opposite boundary or next session's levels
Strategy 2: Order Block + Volume Confluence
Identify order block alignment with VAL/VAH
Wait for signal within the confluence zone
Enter on signal with stop beyond order block
Use LVN areas as acceleration zones for targets
Strategy 3: LVN/HVN Strategy
LVN (Green) Areas: "Go Zones" - expect quick price movement through low volume
HVN (Red) Areas: "Stop Zones" - expect resistance and potential reversals
NPOC Areas: "Fill Zones" - price often returns to fill single print gaps
Strategy 4: Multi-Session Analysis
Use Daily/Weekly for major structure context
Use 4H for intermediate levels
Use 1H for precise entry timing
Ensure all timeframes align before taking signals
Strategy 5: Fibonacci + Volume Profile
Buy signals at 61.8% or 78.6% fibonacci near VAL
Sell signals at 61.8% or 78.6% fibonacci near VAH
Use 88.6% level as final support/resistance before major moves
50% level often aligns with POC for confluence
Signal Quality Assessment
Grade A Signals (Highest Probability):
Signal at VAL/VAH with order block confluence
Fibonacci level alignment (61.8%, 78.6%)
Volume profile shows 70%+ dominance in signal direction
Multiple timeframe structure alignment
Signal occurs during high-volume sessions (London/NY)
Grade B Signals (Moderate Probability):
Signal near POC with some confluence
Fibonacci 50% or 38.2% alignment
Mixed volume profile readings (50-70% dominance)
Some timeframe alignment present
Signal during overlap sessions
Grade C Signals (Lower Probability):
Signal with minimal confluence
Weak fibonacci alignment or none
Volume profile neutral or against signal
Conflicting timeframe signals
Signal during low-volume periods
Risk Management Guidelines
Position Sizing Based on Signal Quality:
Grade A: Standard position size
Grade B: Reduced position size (50-75%)
Grade C: Minimal position size (25%) or skip entirely
Stop Loss Placement:
Beyond order block boundaries
Outside Value Area (VAL/VAH)
Below/above fibonacci confluence levels
Account for session volatility ranges
Profit Targets:
First target: Opposite VAL/VAH boundary
Second target: Next session's key levels
Final target: Major order blocks or fibonacci extensions

Important Disclaimers
This indicator is a technical analysis tool designed for educational purposes. It does not provide financial advice, investment recommendations, or trading signals that guarantee profits. All trading involves substantial risk of loss, and past performance does not guarantee future results. Users should conduct their own research, understand the risks involved, and consider consulting with qualified financial advisors before making trading decisions. The signals and analysis provided are based on historical price patterns and volume data, which may not predict future market movements accurately.
Best Practices
Never trade signals blindly - always consider volume profile context
Wait for confluence between multiple tools before entering
Respect the Value Area - avoid buying above VAH or selling below VAL
Use session context - Asian ranges vs London/NY breakouts
Practice proper risk management - position size based on signal quality
Understand the bigger picture - use multiple timeframes for context
Remember: Like the IDKFA cheat code, having all the tools doesn't guarantee success. The key is learning to use them together effectively and understanding when NOT to take a signal is often more important than knowing when to take one.
Historic VPoCs and pseudo VPVRThis study tries to recreate session based historic VPoCs
and VPVR Volume Profile
as they are used by
TradingLatino TradingView user.
It's aimed at BTCUSDT pair and 4h timeframe.
HOW IT WORKS
HOW IT WORKS - VPVR Profile Block
It gathers volume from the last chosen Bars
in order to draw the vpvr profile block
Volume that intersects with current level range
being studied is added to its value.
Additionally the current level price is modified
so that it matches the level price where most
of the volume has concentrated
So you get a pretty accurate price for drawn volume
while at the same time the levels are not stuck
to arbitrary level prices.
HOW IT WORKS - VPoC
It calculates a Volume Profile for the
given historic session but then
it only outputs that Volume Profile VPoC.
SETTINGS
Show VPVR Volume Profile {True}.
Show Historic VPoC lines {True}.
Show Historic VPoC labels {True}.
Extend Historic VPoC lines {True}: If this option is turned off the VPoC lines are only shown during the session duration.
Show tick difference from current price {False}: BETA. Feedback is needed because I'm not sure how it should work this setting.
VPVR Number of bars {100}: Define the Visible Range in number of bars so that its Volume Profile can be shown.
VPVR Profile width (in bars) {15}: VPVR Profile can be make larger or smaller in width thanks to this option.
VPVR Profile offset (in bars) {15}: VPVR Profile can be shown more to the left or to the right if the defaults do not suit you.
Historic Session Volume Profile timeframe {1D}: Historic VPoC use 1 day as their timeframe reference by default.
Number of decimal digits {2}: How many decimal digits are shown in label prices.
Number of previous sessions to print VPoC {5}: How many previous sessions VPoCs are to be printed. The maximum for this setting is 20.
Historic VPoC lines width (in pixels) {2}.
Historic VPoC labels size {small}.
History VPoC line offset (in bars) {5}: How far to the right VPoCs lines are to be extended. Note: This setting does not apply when 'Extend Historic VPoC lines' is set to 'False'.
WARNING
Please be aware that VPoC from the first previous session might not be accurate due to Pine Script limitations.
VPVR USAGE
This is not a VPVR like the official TradingView indicator.
This is a pseudo VPVR and that means it needs some manual input from you.
But, don't worry it's quite easy to do and if you always use the same number
of bars to calculate your VPVR then you might even just set it up once.
In order to show the VPVR (or Volume Profile on the Visible Range):
Rescale your chart so that you see all the bars for your Visible Range.
Click on the ruler tool.
Click on the last bar (far to the right) shown on the screen
Drag the ruler to first bar (far to the left) shown on the screen
Check what the ruler says
E.g. it says: 101 bars
Open this study settings
Modify: 'VPVR Number of bars ' setting
So that its value matches your measured number of bars (101)
Press OK to confirm and wait for the indicator to refresh.
STRATEGY USAGE
If your strategy uses VPoC
to define your resistances
or supports
you can check the VPoCs shown here.
FEEDBACK
I have only used this identifier in BTCUSDT 4h timeframe.
I'm interested to know what needs to be tweaked
in other securities and timeframes.

Trend-Fib-Pivot Sweep [JopAlgo]Trend-Fib-Pivot Sweep — trend rails + Fib touch rules + sweep logic
Core idea
This tool blends two trend MAs, a rolling Fibonacci grid, and pivot sweep tags so you can do three things quickly:
Trend → MA1 vs MA2 stack and slope
Location → Fib touch/bounce/reject rules
Triggers → sweep → reclaim or trend pullback → continuation
Use the MAs for bias, the Fib levels for where price should react, and the sweeps to spot traps and entries after liquidity grabs.
What you’ll see
MA 1 (default 21, purple) and MA 2 (default 50, gray)
Fib lines from the highest/lowest of your lookback: 0.236 (light blue), 0.382 (green), 0.5 (white), 0.618 (orange), 0.786 (red)
Sweep markers: triangle above = high sweep; triangle below = low sweep
Background: soft green when MA1 > MA2, soft red when MA1 < MA2
Read it fast → Trend (background + MA stack)? Which Fib are we near? Any sweep and reclaim?
How the Fib levels work (and what to do at each)
0.236 → shallow pullback in a strong trend
→ Expect quick bounce continuation.
→ If price closes through 0.236 and stalls, momentum may be cooling; look to 0.382.
0.382 → standard trend pullback
→ In a bullish trend, tests here often bounce and continue.
→ Entry idea: touch/bounce at 0.382 with MA1 above MA2 and rising, then a higher-low and push back above 0.382 → enter.
0.5 → midline / fair value
→ Often the “decision” level.
→ Clean continuation if 0.5 holds; deeper rotation if we accept below (for longs).
0.618 (“golden”) → deep pullback / last line for trend
→ Best risk-defined continuation entries come from rejects/reclaims here.
→ For longs: wick below 0.618, then reclaim 0.618 → long with stop under the sweep low.
0.786 → exhaustive pullback / trap zone
→ If trend is truly alive, 0.786 rejects and snaps back.
→ If we accept beyond 0.786 (closes), expect a full range rotation or trend change.
Touch/bounce rule of thumb
You want to see price interact: touch → reject (wick) → reclaim the level.
A close back above the Fib after a downside probe (or below after an upside probe) is a stronger confirmation than intrabar wicks.
What the MAs do (and how to use them)
MA1 (fast) vs MA2 (slow) define bias and momentum.
MA1 above MA2 and both rising (↗) → bullish regime.
MA1 below MA2 and both falling (↘) → bearish regime.
Flat / crossing often → balance; lean on sweeps and the deeper Fibs (0.5/0.618/0.786).
Interaction with Fibs
Highest quality: Fib level + MA confluence (e.g., 0.382 near MA1).
When MA1 = dynamic trigger: reclaim MA1 at a Fib → continuation signal.
When MA2 = last defense: lose MA2 at 0.5/0.618 → expect deeper rotation.
Sweep logic (why it matters and how to execute)
High sweep = current bar’s high takes out the recent high then fails → liquidity grab above.
Low sweep = current bar’s low takes the recent low then fails → liquidity grab below.
Execution idea
Longs: low sweep into 0.5/0.618/0.786, then reclaim the Fib and, ideally, MA1 → enter; stop under sweep low.
Shorts: high sweep into 0.5/0.382/0.236, then reclaim below the Fib and MA1 → enter; stop above sweep high.
Repaint note
If you enable Lag-Confirmed Pivot Mode, sweep labels are stricter and may “finalize” later (can appear as repaint).
For signals/alerts, prefer non-repaint mode; for review/training, lag-confirmed is fine.
How to trade it (simple playbook)
Direction filter (use MAs first)
Bullish bias → MA1 > MA2 and not flat → look for longs at 0.236/0.382/0.5.
Bearish bias → MA1 < MA2 → look for shorts at 0.236/0.382/0.5 from above.
Entries (two clean templates)
Trend pullback → continuation
→ In bull regime: price pulls to 0.382 or 0.5, shows rejection wick, then reclaims level and MA1 → enter long.
→ In bear regime: mirror with short from above.
Sweep → reclaim
→ Downside sweep through 0.618/0.786, then close back above the Fib and through MA1 → enter long.
→ Upside sweep through 0.382/0.236, then close back below and under MA1 → enter short.
Risk & targets
Stops → beyond the sweep extreme or below/above the reclaimed Fib (structure-based).
Targets → next Fib ladder (e.g., long from 0.5 → target 0.382 → 0.236), or obvious POC/HVNs if you use Volume Profile.
Settings that matter (and how to tune)
MA Types/Lengths
EMA (default fast) = responsive trend read.
SMA/HMA = smoother backbone.
21/50 is a solid default; swing traders can run 34/89.
Fib Lookback
Shorter lookback = tighter range, more sensitive levels;
Longer = broader swing map, fewer interactions but stronger signals.
Sweeps
Sweep Detection Range controls how “recent” the pivot must be (default 10).
Lag-Confirmed mode reduces false sweeps but can finalize later.
Starter presets
Intraday (15m–1H) → MA1 21 EMA, MA2 50 SMA, Fib lookback 100–150, Sweeps 10
Swing (4H) → MA1 34 EMA, MA2 89 SMA, Fib lookback 150–250, Sweeps 10–14
Pattern cheat sheet
0.382 kiss & go (trend day) → quick tag and bounce in bull regime → continuation.
0.5 decision → hold = trend resumes; failure = rotate to 0.618.
0.618 sweep + reclaim → high-quality continuation with tight risk.
0.786 trap → deep flush then snapback; if acceptance persists, expect full rotation.
MA pinch → break → MA1 and MA2 compress, then price breaks and holds a Fib → expansion leg.
Best combos (kept simple)
Volume Profile v3.2 → use VAH/VAL/POC/LVNs as concrete targets; look for Fib + VP confluence.
Anchored VWAP → reclaims/rejections at anchored lines with Fib reaction and MA agreement improve timing.
Common mistakes this helps you avoid
Buying into 0.618/0.786 without a reclaim (catching falling knives).
Fading a 0.236 pullback when MAs are strongly ↗ (fighting trend).
Taking sweeps without a reclaim/confirmation.
Ignoring the MA stack when choosing direction.

Multitimeframe Fair Value Gap – FVG (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Multitimeframe Fair Value Gap – FVG (Zeiierman) indicator provides a dynamic and customizable visualization of institutional imbalances (Fair Value Gaps) across multiple timeframes. Built for traders who seek to analyze price inefficiencies, this tool helps highlight potential entry points, unmitigated gaps, and directional bias using smart volume logic and adaptive visual elements.
A Fair Value Gap (FVG) forms when there's a three-candle sequence in which a market imbalance leaves a "gap" between the wicks of candle 1 and candle 3. These areas are often considered footprints of institutional activity, and this indicator gives you the tools to track them with surgical precision across any timeframe you choose—regardless of the one you're viewing.
This indicator also includes a trend filter powered by a low-pass Butterworth filter, enabling traders to distinguish between countertrend vs. trend-aligned FVGs for more intelligent decision-making. On top of that, it features a dynamic FVG table for live tracking and bull/bear volume power visualization inside each gap, adding powerful clarity to market intent.
█ How It Works
The indicator analyzes the open, high, low, close, and volume of candles from a user-selected timeframe. It identifies Fair Value Gaps based on wick logic and only confirms those that meet customizable strength criteria. Once detected, the indicator visualizes each FVG with dynamically extending boxes, optional buy/sell volume bars, and a real-time mitigation check.
⚪ Multitimeframe Logic
Users can analyze FVGs from a higher or lower timeframe regardless of their current chart.
This is achieved using request.security() to fetch OHLCV data from the chosen timeframe.
⚪ Wick Sensitivity & Impulse Filter
The script measures the wick size of potential FVG candles and compares them to a running average. Only FVGs with wick sizes above a certain sensitivity threshold (user-controlled) are plotted. This ensures only meaningful price dislocations (e.g., strong impulsive moves) are shown, reducing noise.
⚪ Midpoint Mitigation Logic
FVGs are marked as "mitigated" when the price revisits the gap area. Traders can choose whether full gap closure or just a midpoint touch is required. This allows faster reactivity in real-time trading environments.
⚪ Bull & Bear Power – Volume-Weighted Visualization
Every Fair Value Gap box includes sub-bars representing the estimated buy and sell effort that created the gap. These are calculated using the candle's close in relation to its high/low range and volume:
Buy Volume % ≈ effort from low to close
Sell Volume % ≈ effort from high to close
Each sub-bar inside the FVG:
Is color-coded (UpCol for bullish, DnCol for bearish)
Is drawn proportionally to the strength of buyers or sellers
Visually displays who was in control during the imbalance
⚪ FVG Table – Dynamic On-Chart Overview
The indicator includes an optional on-chart table that displays all currently active (unmitigated) FVGs in a side panel format:
Automatic updates as gaps are formed and mitigated
Color-coded rows to show bullish vs. bearish FVGs
Timestamps to know precisely when the gap formed
User-controlled position via Table Left and Table Right
This is a gap watchlist overlay, giving traders a concise view of current inefficiencies without manually scanning the chart.
⚪ FVG Trend Filter (Butterworth Smoother)
Using a two-pole Butterworth low-pass filter, the indicator computes a trendline based on average FVG values, offering a smooth but responsive directional signal.
Passband Ripple (dB): Controls sensitivity and overshoot tolerance
Cutoff Frequency (0–0.5): Sets how quickly the trendline reacts
The trendline helps categorize each FVG:
Trend up → favor bullish FVGs
Trend down → favor bearish FVGs
It adds an extra dimension to FVG entries, helping distinguish between trend-aligned and countertrend signals.
█ How to Use
⚪ Identify Institutional Gaps
Use this tool to identify areas where institutions may have left imbalances behind quickly.
These areas often become:
Strong support/resistance zones
Areas where price might react sharply
Targets for liquidity sweeps or retracements
⚪ React to Trend or Countertrend
The built-in trendline helps categorize each FVG:
Trend up → Bullish FVGs have higher validity
Trend down → Bearish FVGs have higher validity
⚪ Volume Context via Bull/Bear Power
Each Fair Value Gap is more than just a price imbalance — it’s a story of effort and intent. The Bull/Bear Power feature visualizes the buy and sell pressure behind each FVG, helping you understand how the gap was formed and who was in control.
A bullish FVG with a strong buy effort suggests continuation potential — buyers dominated the move.
A bullish FVG with a dominant sell effort could signal a trap or reversal — sellers may have overwhelmed the breakout.
These insights allow you to confirm imbalance strength, spot traps early, and add confidence to entries based on dominant volume profiles.
Instead of viewing gaps as static zones, this feature turns each into a live volume map — a visual breakdown of who moved the market and whether that move had conviction.
⚪ Plan with the FVG Table
The FVG Table acts as your on-chart control center for tracking active imbalances. When enabled, it provides a clear summary of all unmitigated Fair Value Gaps, helping you stay organized and focused during fast-moving sessions.
Track live and historical gaps: See exactly when and where each FVG formed.
Monitor older, still-valid zones: Gaps off-screen but not mitigated remain in play — perfect for anticipating future reactions.
Gauge market bias at a glance: The balance of bullish vs. bearish FVGs helps you understand overall directional pressure.
Plan entries confidently: Use the table to reference all zones for risk management, confluence stacking, or layered execution strategies.
Instead of manually scanning your chart, the FVG Table offers a clean, at-a-glance overview of the market’s inefficiencies — giving you the structure needed to act with precision.

HOW-TO ACTIVATE LEVEL TYPES AND TIMEFRAMES AND HOW-TO USE THE INDICATOR
You can simply choose which of the levels to be activated and displayed by clicking on the desired radio button in the settings menu.
You can locate the settings menu by clicking into the Object Tree window, left-click on the Multiple Naked Levels and select Settings.
You will then get a menu of different level types and timeframes. Click the checkboxes for the level types and timeframes that you want to display on the chart.
You can then go into the chart and check out which naked levels that have appeared. You can then use those levels as part of your technical analysis.
The levels displayed on the chart can serve as additional confluences or as part of your overall technical analysis and indicators.
In order to back-test the impact of the different naked levels you can also enable tapped levels to be depicted on the chart. Do this by toggling the 'Show tapped levels' checkbox.
Keep in mind however that Trading View can not shom more than 500 lines and text boxes so the indocator will not be able to give you the complete history back to the start for long duration assets.
In order to clean up the charts a little bit there are two additional settings that can be used in the Settings menu:
- Selecting the price range (%) from the current price to be included in the chart. The default is 25%. That means that all levels below or above 20% will not be displayed. You can set this level yourself from 0 up to 100%.
- Selecting the minimum gap size to include on the chart. The default is 1%. That means that all gaps/ranges below 1% in price difference will not be displayed on the chart. You can set the minimum gap size yourself.
BASIC DESCRIPTION OF THE INNER WORKINGS OF THE INDICTATOR
The way the indicator works is that it calculates and identifies all levels from the list of levels type and timeframes above. The indicator then adds this level to a list of untapped levels.
Then for each bar after, it checks if the level has been tapped. If the level has been tapped or a gap/range completely filled, this level is removed from the list so that the levels displayed in the end are only naked/untapped levels.
Below is a descrition of each of the level types and how it is caluclated (algorithm):
PIVOT
Daily, Weekly and Monthly levels in trading refer to significant price points that traders monitor within the context of a single trading day. These levels can provide insights into market behavior and help traders make informed decisions regarding entry and exit points.
Traders often use D/W/M levels to set entry and exit points for trades. For example, entering long positions near support (daily close) or selling near resistance (daily close).
Daily levels are used to set stop-loss orders. Placing stops just below the daily close for long positions or above the daily close for short positions can help manage risk.
The relationship between price movement and daily levels provides insights into market sentiment. For instance, if the price fails to break above the daily high, it may signify bearish sentiment, while a strong breakout can indicate bullish sentiment.
The way these levels are calculated in this indicator is based on finding pivots in the chart on D/W/M timeframe. The level is then set to previous D/W/M close = current D/W/M open.
In addition, when price is going up previous D/W/M open must be smaller than previous D/W/M close and current D/W/M close must be smaller than the current D/W/M open. When price is going down the opposite.
POINT OF CONTROL
The Point of Control (POC) is a key concept in volume profile analysis, which is commonly used in trading.
It represents the price level at which the highest volume of trading occurred during a specific period.
The POC is derived from the volume traded at various price levels over a defined time frame. In this indicator the timeframes are Daily, Weekly, and Montly.
It identifies the price level where the most trades took place, indicating strong interest and activity from traders at that price.
The POC often acts as a significant support or resistance level. If the price approaches the POC from above, it may act as a support level, while if approached from below, it can serve as a resistance level. Traders monitor the POC to gauge potential reversals or breakouts.
The way the POC is calculated in this indicator is by an approximation by analysing intrabars for the respective timeperiod (D/W/M), assigning the volume for each intrabar into the price-bins that the intrabar covers and finally identifying the bin with the highest aggregated volume.
The POC is the price in the middle of this bin.
The indicator uses a sample space for intrabars on the Daily timeframe of 15 minutes, 35 minutes for the Weekly timeframe, and 140 minutes for the Monthly timeframe.
The indicator has predefined the size of the bins to 0.2% of the price at the range low. That implies that the precision of the calulated POC og VAH/VAL is within 0.2%.
This reduction of precision is a tradeoff for performance and speed of the indicator.
This also implies that the bigger the difference from range high prices to range low prices the more bins the algorithm will iterate over. This is typically the case when calculating the monthly volume profile levels and especially high volatility assets such as alt coins.
Sometimes the number of iterations becomes too big for Trading View to handle. In these cases the bin size will be increased even more to reduce the number of iterations.
In such cases the bin size might increase by a factor of 2-3 decreasing the accuracy of the Volume Profile levels.
Anyway, since these Volume Profile levels are approximations and since precision is traded for performance the user should consider the Volume profile levels(POC, VAH, VAL) as zones rather than pin point accurate levels.
VALUE AREA HIGH/LOW STD1/STD2
The Value Area High (VAH) and Value Area Low (VAL) are important concepts in volume profile analysis, helping traders understand price levels where the majority of trading activity occurs for a given period.
The Value Area High/Low is the upper/lower boundary of the value area, representing the highest price level at which a certain percentage of the total trading volume occurred within a specified period.
The VAH/VAL indicates the price point above/below which the majority of trading activity is considered less valuable. It can serve as a potential resistance/support level, as prices above/below this level may experience selling/buying pressure from traders who view the price as overvalued/undervalued
In this indicator the timeframes are Daily, Weekly, and Monthly. This indicator provides two boundaries that can be selected in the menu.
The first boundary is 70% of the total volume (=1 standard deviation from mean). The second boundary is 95% of the total volume (=2 standard deviation from mean).
The way VAH/VAL is calculated is based on the same algorithm as for the POC.
However instead of identifying the bin with the highest volume, we start from range low and sum up the volume for each bin until the aggregated volume = 30%/70% for VAL1/VAH1 and aggregated volume = 5%/95% for VAL2/VAH2.
Then we simply set the VAL/VAH equal to the low of the respective bin.
FAIR VALUE GAPS
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) is a concept primarily used in technical analysis and price action trading, particularly within the context of futures and forex markets. They refer to areas on a price chart where there is a noticeable lack of trading activity, often highlighted by a significant price movement away from a previous level without trading occurring in between.
FVGs represent price levels where the market has moved significantly without any meaningful trading occurring. This can be seen as a "gap" on the price chart, where the price jumps from one level to another, often due to a rapid market reaction to news, events, or other factors.
These gaps typically appear when prices rise or fall quickly, creating a space on the chart where no transactions have taken place. For example, if a stock opens sharply higher and there are no trades at the prices in between the two levels, it creates a gap. The areas within these gaps can be areas of liquidity that the market may return to “fill” later on.
FVGs highlight inefficiencies in pricing and can indicate areas where the market may correct itself. When the market moves rapidly, it may leave behind price levels that traders eventually revisit to establish fair value.
Traders often watch for these gaps as potential reversal or continuation points. Many traders believe that price will eventually “fill” the gap, meaning it will return to those price levels, providing potential entry or exit points.
This indicator calculate FVGs on three different timeframes, Daily, Weekly and Montly.
In this indicator the FVGs are identified by looking for a three-candle pattern on a chart, signalling a discrete imbalance in order volume that prompts a quick price adjustment. These gaps reflect moments where the market sentiment strongly leans towards buying or selling yet lacks the opposite orders to maintain price stability.
The indicator sets the gap to the difference from the high of the first bar to the low of the third bar when price is moving up or from the low of the first bar to the high of the third bar when price is moving down.
CME GAPS (BTC only)
CME gaps refer to price discrepancies that can occur in charts for futures contracts traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). These gaps typically arise from the fact that many futures markets, including those on the CME, operate nearly 24 hours a day but may have significant price movements during periods when the market is closed.
CME gaps occur when there is a difference between the closing price of a futures contract on one trading day and the opening price on the following trading day. This difference can create a "gap" on the price chart.
Opening Gaps: These usually happen when the market opens significantly higher or lower than the previous day's close, often influenced by news, economic data releases, or other market events occurring during non-trading hours.
Gaps can result from reactions to major announcements or developments, such as earnings reports, geopolitical events, or changes in economic indicators, leading to rapid price movements.
The importance of CME Gaps in Trading is the potential for Filling Gaps: Many traders believe that prices often "fill" gaps, meaning that prices may return to the gap area to establish fair value.
This can create potential trading opportunities based on the expectation of gap filling. Gaps can act as significant support or resistance levels. Traders monitor these levels to identify potential reversal points in price action.
The way the gap is identified in this indicator is by checking if current open is higher than previous bar close when price is moving up or if current open is lower than previous day close when price is moving down.
EQUILIBRIUM
Equilibrium in finance and trading refers to a state where supply and demand in a market balance each other, resulting in stable prices. It is a key concept in various economic and trading contexts. Here’s a concise description:
Market Equilibrium occurs when the quantity of a good or service supplied equals the quantity demanded at a specific price level. At this point, there is no inherent pressure for the price to change, as buyers and sellers are in agreement.
Equilibrium Price is the price at which the market is in equilibrium. It reflects the point where the supply curve intersects the demand curve on a graph. At the equilibrium price, the market clears, meaning there are no surplus goods or shortages.
In this indicator the equilibrium level is calculated simply by finding the midpoint of the Daily, Weekly, and Montly candles respectively.
NOTES
1) Performance. The algorithms are quite resource intensive and the time it takes the indicator to calculate all the levels could be 5 seconds or more, depending on the number of bars in the chart and especially if Montly Volume Profile levels are selected (POC, VAH or VAL).
2) Levels displayed vs the selected chart timeframe. On a timeframe smaller than the daily TF - both Daily, Weekly, and Monthly levels will be displayed. On a timeframe bigger than the daily TF but smaller than the weekly TF - the Weekly and Monthly levels will be display but not the Daily levels. On a timeframe bigger than the weekly TF but smaller than the monthly TF - only the Monthly levels will be displayed. Not Daily and Weekly.
CREDITS
The core algorithm for calculating the POC levels is based on the indicator "Naked Intrabar POC" developed by rumpypumpydumpy (https:www.tradingview.com/u/rumpypumpydumpy/).
The "Naked intrabar POC" indicator calculates the POC on the current chart timeframe.
This indicator (Multiple Naked Levels) adds two new features:
1) It calculates the POC on three specific timeframes, the Daily, Weekly, and Monthly timeframes - not only the current chart timeframe.
2) It adds functionaly by calculating the VAL and VAH of the volume profile on the Daily, Weekly, Monthly timeframes .
Volume Forks [Trendoscope]🎲 Volume Forks - Advanced Price Analysis with Recursive Auto-Pitchfork and Angled Volume Profile
The Volume Forks Indicator is a comprehensive research tool that combines two innovative techniques, Recursive Auto-Pitchfork and Angled Volume Profile . This indicator provides traders with valuable insights into price dynamics by integrating accurate pitchfork drawing and volume analysis over angled levels. The indicator does following things
Detects Pitchfork formations automatically on the chart over Recursive Zigzag
Instead of drawing forks based on fib levels, volume distribution over ABC of pitchfork is calculated and drawn in the direction of the handle.
🎲 Brief about Pitchfork
Pitchfork is drawn when price forms ABC pattern. Pitchfork draws a series of parallel lines in the direction of trend which can be used for support and resistance.
There are many methods of drawing pitchfork. In all cases, a line joining BC will make the base of pitchfork and fork lines are drawn from different points of the base. All the fork lines will be parallel. But, the handle of the base defines the direction of fork lines. Classification of pitchfork is mainly based on the starting and ending points of the handle.
🎲 Regular Types
Here, end of the handle is always fixed and it will be the mid point of B and C.
🎯 Andrews Pitchfork
Handle starts from A and joins the base at mid of B and C.
Forks are drawn based on fib ratios from the handle
🎯 Schiff Pitchfork
Handle starts from Bar of A and price of middle of AB and joins the base at mid of B and C
Forks are drawn based on fib ratios from the handle
🎯 Modified Schiff Pitchfork
Handle starts from mid of A and B and joins the base at mid of B and C
Forks are drawn based on fib ratios from the handle
🎲 Inside Types
Here, C will act as end of the handle which joins the Base BC .
🎯 Andrews Pitchfork (Inside)
Handle starts from A and joins the base at C
Forks are drawn based on fib ratios from the handle
🎯 Schiff Pitchfork (Inside)
Handle starts from Bar of A and price of (A+B)/2 and joins the base at C
Forks are drawn based on fib ratios from the handle
🎯 Modified Schiff Pitchfork (Inside)
Handle starts from mid of A and B and joins the base at C
Forks are drawn based on fib ratios from the handle
🎲 Brief about Pitchfork
The Angled Volume Profile technique expands on the concept of volume profile by measuring volume distribution levels over angled levels rather than just horizontal levels. By selecting a starting point and angle interactively, traders can assess volume distribution within specific price trends. This feature is particularly useful for analysing volume dynamics in trending markets.
🎲 Settings
Indicator settings include few things which determine the scanning of pitchforks and few which determines drawing of volume profile lines.
Please note that, due to pine limitations of 500 lines, if there are too many formations on the chart, volume profile may not appear correctly. If that happens, please reduce the number of volume forks per formation.
Delta Volume Candles [LucF]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator plots on-chart volume delta information using candles that can replace your normal candles, tops and bottoms appended to normal candles, optional MAs of those tops and bottoms levels, a divergence channel and a chart background. The indicator calculates volume delta using intrabar analysis, meaning that it uses the lower timeframe bars constituting each chart bar.
█ CONCEPTS
Volume Delta
The volume delta concept divides a bar's volume in "up" and "down" volumes. The delta is calculated by subtracting down volume from up volume. Many calculation techniques exist to isolate up and down volume within a bar. The simplest use the polarity of interbar price changes to assign their volume to up or down slots, e.g., On Balance Volume or the Klinger Oscillator . Others such as Chaikin Money Flow use assumptions based on a bar's OHLC values. The most precise calculation method uses tick data and assigns the volume of each tick to the up or down slot depending on whether the transaction occurs at the bid or ask price. While this technique is ideal, it requires huge amounts of data on historical bars, which considerably limits the historical depth of charts and the number of symbols for which tick data is available. Furthermore, historical tick data is not yet available on TradingView.
This indicator uses intrabar analysis to achieve a compromise between the simplest and most precise methods of calculating volume delta. It is currently the most precise method usable on TradingView charts. TradingView's Volume Profile built-in indicators use it, as do the CVD - Cumulative Volume Delta Candles and CVD - Cumulative Volume Delta (Chart) indicators published from the TradingView account . My Delta Volume Channels and Volume Delta Columns Pro indicators also use intrabar analysis. Other volume delta indicators such as my Realtime 5D Profile use realtime chart updates to calculate volume delta without intrabar analysis, but that type of indicator only works in real time; they cannot calculate on historical bars.
This is the logic I use to determine the polarity of intrabars, which determines the up or down slot where its volume is added:
• If the intrabar's open and close values are different, their relative position is used.
• If the intrabar's open and close values are the same, the difference between the intrabar's close and the previous intrabar's close is used.
• As a last resort, when there is no movement during an intrabar, and it closes at the same price as the previous intrabar, the last known polarity is used.
Once all intrabars making up a chart bar have been analyzed and the up or down property of each intrabar's volume determined, the up volumes are added, and the down volumes subtracted. The resulting value is volume delta for that chart bar, which can be used as an estimate of the buying/selling pressure on an instrument. Not all markets have volume information. Without it, this indicator is useless.
Intrabar analysis
Intrabars are chart bars at a lower timeframe than the chart's. The timeframe used to access intrabars determines the number of intrabars accessible for each chart bar. On a 1H chart, each chart bar of an active market will, for example, usually contain 60 bars at the lower timeframe of 1min, provided there was market activity during each minute of the hour.
This indicator automatically calculates an appropriate lower timeframe using the chart's timeframe and the settings you use in the script's "Intrabars" section of the inputs. As it can access lower timeframes as small as seconds when available, the indicator can be used on charts at relatively small timeframes such as 1min, provided the market is active enough to produce bars at second timeframes.
The quantity of intrabars analyzed in each chart bar determines:
• The precision of calculations (more intrabars yield more precise results).
• The chart coverage of calculations (there is a 100K limit to the quantity of intrabars that can be analyzed on any chart,
so the more intrabars you analyze per chart bar, the less chart bars can be calculated by the indicator).
The information box displayed at the bottom right of the chart shows the lower timeframe used for intrabars, as well as the average number of intrabars detected for chart bars and statistics on chart coverage.
Balances
This indicator calculates five balances from volume delta values. The balances are oscillators with a zero centerline; positive values are bullish, and negative values are bearish. It is important to understand the balances as they can be used to:
• Color candle bodies.
• Calculate body and top and bottom divergences.
• Color an EMA channel.
• Color the chart's background.
• Configure markers and alerts.
The five balances are:
1 — Bar Balance : This is the only balance using instant values; it is simply the subtraction of the down volume from the up volume on the bar, so the instant volume delta for that bar.
2 — Average Balance : Calculates a distinct EMA for both the up and down volumes, and subtracts the down EMA from the up EMA.
The result is akin to MACD's histogram because it is the subtraction of two moving averages.
3 — Momentum Balance : Starts by calculating, separately for both up and down volumes, the difference between the same EMAs used in "Average Balance" and
an SMA of twice the period used for the "Average Balance" EMAs. The difference for the up side is subtracted from the difference for the down side,
and an RSI of that value is calculated and brought over the −50/+50 scale.
4 — Relative Balance : The reference values used in the calculation are the up and down EMAs used in the "Average Balance".
From those, we calculate two intermediate values using how much the instant up and down volumes on the bar exceed their respective EMA — but with a twist.
If the bar's up volume does not exceed the EMA of up volume, a zero value is used. The same goes for the down volume with the EMA of down volume.
Once we have our two intermediate values for the up and down volumes exceeding their respective MA, we subtract them. The final value is an ALMA of that subtraction.
The rationale behind using zero values when the bar's up/down volume does not exceed its EMA is to only take into account the more significant volume.
If both instant volume values exceed their MA, then the difference between the two is the signal's value.
The signal is called "relative" because the intermediate values are the difference between the instant up/down volumes and their respective MA.
This balance flatlines when the bar's up/down volumes do not exceed their EMAs, which makes it useful to spot areas where trader interest dwindles, such as consolidations.
The smaller the period of the final value's ALMA, the more easily it will flatline. These flat zones should be considered no-trade zones.
5 — Percent Balance : This balance is the ALMA of the ratio of the "Bar Balance" over the total volume for that bar.
From the balances and marker conditions, two more values are calculated:
1 — Marker Bias : This sums the up/down (+1/‒1) occurrences of the markers 1 to 4 over a period you define, so it ranges from −4 to +4, times the period.
Its calculation will depend on the modes used to calculate markers 3 and 4.
2 — Combined Balances : This is the sum of the bull/bear (+1/−1) states of each of the five balances, so it ranges from −5 to +5.
The periods for all of these balances can be configured in the "Periods" section at the bottom of the script's inputs. As you cannot see the balances on the chart, you can use my Volume Delta Columns Pro indicator in a pane; it can plot the same balances, so you will be able to analyze them.
Divergences
In the context of this indicator, a divergence is any bar where the bear/bull state of a balance (above/below its zero centerline) diverges from the polarity of a chart bar. No directional bias is assigned to divergences when they occur. Candle bodies and tops/bottoms can each be colored differently on divergences detected from distinct balances.
Divergence Channel
The divergence channel is the space between two levels (by default, the bar's open and close ) saved when divergences occur. When price (by default the close ) has breached a channel and a new divergence occurs, a new channel is created. Until that new channel is breached, bars where additional divergences occur will expand the channel's levels if the bar's price points are outside the channel.
Prices breaches of the divergence channel will change its state. Divergence channels can be in one of three different states:
• Bull (green): Price has breached the channel to the upside.
• Bear (red): Price has breached the channel to the downside.
• Neutral (gray): The channel has not yet been breached.
█ HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
I do not make videos to explain how to use my indicators. I do, however, try hard to include in their description everything one needs to understand what they do. From there, it's up to you to explore and figure out if they can be useful in your trading practice. Communicating in videos what this description and the script's tooltips contain would make for very long videos that would likely exceed the attention span of most people who find this description too long. There is no quick way to understand an indicator such as this one because it uses many different concepts and has quite a bit of settings one can use to modify its visuals and behavior — thus how one uses it. I will happily answer questions on the inner workings of the indicator, but I do not answer questions like "How do I trade using this indicator?" A useful answer to that question would require an in-depth analysis of who you are, your trading methodology and objectives, which I do not have time for. I do not teach trading.
Start by loading the indicator on an active chart containing volume information. See here if you need help.
The default configuration displays:
• Normal candles where the bodies are only colored if the bar's volume has increased since the last bar.
If you want to use this indicator's candles, you may want to disable your chart's candles by clicking the eye icon to the right of the symbol's name in the top left of the chart.
• A top or bottom appended to the normal candles. It represents the difference between up and down volume for that bar
and is positioned at the top or bottom, depending on its polarity. If up volume is greater than down volume, a top is displayed. If down volume is greater, a bottom is plotted.
The size of tops and bottoms is determined by calculating a factor which is the proportion of volume delta over the bar's total volume.
That factor is then used to calculate the top or bottom size relative to a baseline of the average candle body size of the last 100 bars.
• An information box in the bottom right displaying intrabar and chart coverage information.
• A light red background when the intrabar volume differs from the chart's volume by more than 1%.
The script's inputs contain tooltips explaining most of the fields. I will not repeat them here. Following is a brief description of each section of the indicator's inputs which will give you an idea of what the indicator can do:
Normal Candles is where you configure the replacement candles plotted by the script. You can choose from different coloring schemes for their bodies and specify a unique color for bodies where a divergence calculated using the method you choose occurs.
Volume Tops & Botttoms is where you configure the display of tops and bottoms, and their EMAs. The EMAs are calculated from the high point of tops and the low point of bottoms. They can act as a channel to evaluate price, and you can choose to color the channel using a gradient reflecting the advances/declines in the balance of your choice.
Divergence Channel is where you set up the appearance and behavior of the divergence channel. These areas represent levels where price and volume delta information do not converge. They can be interpreted as regions with no clear direction from where one will look for breaches. You can configure the channel to take into account one or both types of divergences you have configured for candle bodies and tops/bottoms.
Background allows you to configure a gradient background color that reflects the advances/declines in the balance of your choice. You can use this to provide context to the volume delta values from bars. You can also control the background color displayed on volume discrepancies between the intrabar and the chart's timeframe.
Intrabars is where you choose the calculation mode determining the lower timeframe used to access intrabars. The indicator uses the chart's timeframe and the type of market you are on to calculate the lower timeframe. Your setting there should reflect which compromise you prefer between the precision of calculations and chart coverage. This is also where you control the display of the information box in the lower right corner of the chart.
Markers allows you to control the plotting of chart markers on different conditions. Their configuration determines when alerts generated from the indicator will fire. Note that in order to generate alerts from this script, they must be created from your chart. See this Help Center page to learn how. Only the last 500 markers will be visible on the chart, but this will not affect the generation of alerts.
Periods is where you configure the periods for the balances and the EMAs used in the indicator.
The raw values calculated by this script can be inspected using the Data Window.
█ INTERPRETATION
Rightly or wrongly, volume delta is considered by many a useful complement to the interpretation of price action. I use it extensively in an attempt to find convergence between my read of volume delta and price movement — not so much as a predictor of future price movement. No system or person can predict the future. Accordingly, I consider people who speak or act as if they know the future with certainty to be dangerous to themselves and others; they are charlatans, imprudent or blissfully ignorant.
I try to avoid elaborate volume delta interpretation schemes involving too many variables and prefer to keep things simple:
• Trends that have more chances of continuing should be accompanied by VD of the same polarity.
In trends, I am looking for "slow and steady". I work from the assumption that traders and systems often overreact, which translates into unproductive volatility.
Wild trends are more susceptible to overreactions.
• I prefer steady VD values over wildly increasing ones, as large VD increases often come with increased price volatility, which can backfire.
Large VD values caused by stopping volume will also often occur on trend reversals with abnormally high candles.
• Prices escaping divergence channels may be leading a trend in that direction, although there is no telling how long that trend will last; could be just a few bars or hundreds.
When price is in a channel, shifts in VD balances can sometimes give us an idea of the direction where price has the most chance of breaking.
• Dwindling VD will often indicate trend exhaustion and predate reversals by many bars, but the problem is that mere pauses in a trend will often produce the same behavior in VD.
I think it is too perilous to infer rigidly from VD decreases.
Divergence Channel
Here I have configured the divergence channels to be visible. First, I set the bodies to display divergences on the default Bar Balance. They are indicated by yellow bodies. Then I activated the divergence channels by choosing to draw levels on body divergences and checked the "Fill" checkbox to fill the channel with the same color as the levels. The divergence channel is best understood as a direction-less area from where a breach can be acted on if other variables converge with the breach's direction:
Tops and Bottoms EMAs
I find these EMAs rather interesting. They have no equivalent elsewhere, as they are calculated from the top and bottom values this indicator plots. The only similarity they have with volume-weighted MAs, including VWAP, is that they use price and volume. This indicator's Tops and Bottoms EMAs, however, use the price and volume delta. While the channel differs from other channels in how it is calculated, it can be used like others, as a baseline from which to evaluate price movement or, alternatively, as stop levels. Remember that you can change the period used for the EMAs in the "Periods" section of the inputs.
This chart shows the EMAs in action, filled with a gradient representing the advances/decline from the Momentum balance. Notice the anomaly in the chart's latest bars where the Momentum balance gradient has been indicating a bullish bias for some time, during which price was mostly below the EMAs. Price has just broken above the channel on positive VD. My interpretation of this situation would be that it is a risky opportunity for a long trade in the larger context where the market has been in a downtrend since the 5th. Intrepid traders choosing to enter here could do so with a "make or break" tight stop that will minimize their losses should the market continue its downtrend while hopefully preserving the potential upside of price continuing on the longer-term uptrend prevalent since the 28th:
█ NOTES
Volume
If you use indicators such as this one which depends on volume information, it is important to realize that the volume data they consume comes from data feeds, and that all data feeds are NOT created equally. Those who create the data feeds we use must make decisions concerning the nature of the transactions they tally and the way they are tallied in each feed, and these decisions affect the nature of our volume data. My Volume X-ray publication discusses some of the reasons why volume information from different timeframes, brokers/exchanges or sectors may vary considerably. I encourage you to read it. This indicator's display of a warning through a background color on volume discrepancies between the timeframe used to access intrabars and the chart's timeframe is an attempt to help you realize these variations in feeds. Don't take things for granted, and understand that the quality of a given feed's volume information affects the quality of the results this indicator calculates.
Markets as ecosystems
I believe it is perilous to think that behavioral patterns you discover in one market through the lens of this or any other indicator will necessarily port to other markets. While this may sometimes be the case, it will often not. Why is that? Because each market is its own ecosystem. As cities do, all markets share some common characteristics, but they also all have their idiosyncrasies. A proportion of a city's inhabitants is always composed of outsiders who come and go, but a core population of regulars and systems is usually the force that actually defines most of the city's observable characteristics. I believe markets work somewhat the same way; they may look the same, but if you live there for a while and pay attention, you will notice the idiosyncrasies. Some things that work in some markets will, accordingly, not work in others. Please keep that in mind when you draw conclusions.
On Up/Down or Buy/Sell Volume
Buying or selling volume are misnomers, as every unit of volume transacted is both bought and sold by two different traders. While this does not keep me from using the terms, there is no such thing as “buy only” or “sell only” volume. Trader lingo is riddled with peculiarities. Without access to order book information, traders work with the assumption that when price moves up during a bar, there was more buying pressure than selling pressure, just as when buy market orders take out limit ask orders in the order book at successively higher levels. The built-in volume indicator available on TradingView uses this logic to color the volume columns green or red. While this script’s calculations are more precise because it analyses intrabars to calculate its information, it uses pretty much the same imperfect logic. Until Pine scripts can have access to how much volume was transacted at the bid/ask prices, our volume delta calculations will remain a mere proxy.
Repainting
• The values calculated on the realtime bar will update as new information comes from the feed.
• Historical values may recalculate if the historical feed is updated or when calculations start from a new point in history.
• Markers and alerts will not repaint as they only occur on a bar's close. Keep this in mind when viewing markers on historical bars,
where one could understandably and incorrectly assume they appear at the bar's open.
To learn more about repainting, see the Pine Script™ User Manual's page on the subject .
Superfluity
In "The Bed of Procrustes", Nassim Nicholas Taleb writes: To bankrupt a fool, give him information . This indicator can display a lot of information. The inevitable adaptation period you will need to figure out how to use it should help you eliminate all the visuals you do not need. The more you eliminate, the easier it will be to focus on those that are the most useful to your trading practice. Don't be a fool.
█ THANKS
Thanks to alexgrover for his Dekidaka-Ashi indicator. His volume plots on candles were the inspiration for my top/bottom plots.
Kudos to PineCoders for their libraries. I use two of them in this script: Time and lower_tf .
The first versions of this script used functionality that I would not have known about were it not for these two guys:
— A guy called Kuan who commented on a Backtest Rookies presentation of their Volume Profile indicator.
— theheirophant , my partner in the exploration of the sometimes weird abysses of request.security() ’s behavior at lower timeframes.
Anchored VWAP Bands v3.3 [JopAlgo]Anchored VWAP — a fair-value compass you can trust on any timeframe
If Volume Profile shows where business concentrated, Anchored VWAP (AVWAP) shows what the crowd has paid on average since a moment that matters. It’s a running average of price weighted by traded volume, reset at a point you choose (the “anchor”). That makes AVWAP a reliable fair-value line: above it, the average participant since the anchor is in profit; below it, they’re under water. Markets naturally react around that line.
This version focuses on the parts that make AVWAP practical for real trading:
Clear, event-anchored VWAP so you can ask “since this moment, where is fair value?”
Optional higher-timeframe anchors (e.g., Weekly AVWAP) to define regime
Simple visuals so newer traders can read it instantly, and advanced traders can layer multiple anchors without clutter
(When you add screenshots: image #1 should point to the main AVWAP line with a label “fair value since anchor”, and show a bounce/reject. Image #2 can show confluence: AVWAP kissing VAL/VAH from Volume Profile v3.2 or a clean reclaim through AVWAP.)
What you’re seeing (and why price cares)
The AVWAP line: the volume-weighted average price since your anchor time.
Price above AVWAP → average long (since anchor) is in profit → pullbacks to AVWAP tend to support.
Price below AVWAP → average long is losing → rallies to AVWAP tend to resist.
Multiple anchors (optional): you can plot more than one AVWAP (e.g., Weekly AVWAP and an Event AVWAP) to separate regime (weekly) from tactical timing (event/session).
AVWAP works because it ties “fair value” to time and participation, not just price. When price departs far from AVWAP and then returns, participants frequently defend the line. When price accepts on the other side (closes and holds), that’s often a regime change relative to the anchor.
Anchors: how to pick them (and what changes when you do)
An anchor is simply the timestamp where you start the calculation. Changing it changes both context and expectations:
Session anchors (intraday) — e.g., session open, London/NY open.
Use: scalps/intraday plays.
Behavior: frequent tests; strong for fade-to-mean trades and quick reclaims.
Event anchors — listing, major news, ETF approval, earnings, a swing high/low.
Use: track how price behaves since the catalyst.
Behavior: excellent for measured pullbacks and “is the market digesting this event yet?”
Weekly/Monthly anchors — the Weekly AVWAP is a regime line.
Use: swing/position bias.
Behavior: clean “reclaim” and “rejection” signals; great with Volume Profile’s VAH/VAL.
Rule of thumb:
Choose the slowest anchor that defines your bias (e.g., Weekly AVWAP for swings) and one faster anchor for timing (e.g., Session/Event AVWAP). Too many lines → hesitation.
How to use AVWAP on any timeframe
The framework doesn’t change—only your anchor choices and expectations do.
Scalping (1–5m charts)
Anchors: Session open, London/NY open, or the prior swing low/high.
Setup: If price trends away from the session AVWAP, fade back to AVWAP only when flow isn’t showing absorption against you (pair with CVDv1). If price reclaims AVWAP after a push below, look for inside-back retests at the line.
Intraday (15m–1H)
Anchors: Session open + important event AVWAP (FOMC-like news, ETF day, etc.).
Setup: Use pullbacks to AVWAP to join trend; require acceptance above/below (close and hold) before flipping bias. Confluence of AVWAP with VP v3.2’s VAH/VAL = high-quality location.
Swing (2H–4H)
Anchors: Weekly AVWAP for regime + event AVWAP for timing.
Setup: Reclaim of Weekly AVWAP → prefer longs on pullbacks to that line; rejection → fade rallies into Weekly AVWAP (target POC/HVNs from VP). The best entries are AVWAP + VP edge with CVDv1 not flashing Absorption.
Position (1D–1W)
Anchors: Monthly/Quarterly/Cycle AVWAP.
Setup: Treat the higher-timeframe AVWAP as the mean. Acceptance through it (and hold) often marks cycle transitions. Add on pullbacks to the line that hold.
Reading reclaims, rejections, and “acceptance”
Reclaim: price trades below AVWAP, then closes back above and holds on a retest → bullish signal since the anchor.
Rejection: price pops above AVWAP, prints rejection wick and closes back under → bearish.
Acceptance: multiple bars closing and holding beyond AVWAP, ideally with CVDv1 Alignment OK and no Absorption → higher odds the move persists.
With Volume Profile v3.2, treat AVWAP at VAL/VAH as A-tier locations:
VAL + AVWAP reclaim → mean-reversion long to POC is common.
VAH + AVWAP rejection → fade back to POC or to the next HVN.
Settings that matter (and simple defaults)
Names may vary by version, but these are the ideas you’ll see.
Anchor Time — pick a timestamp (session open, event, week start). Newer traders: start with Session AVWAP intraday; add Weekly AVWAP for swings.
Multiple anchors — if enabled, you can show Weekly AVWAP alongside your custom anchor. Keep it to two lines to stay decisive.
Smoothing / Display — most traders use raw AVWAP (no smoothing). Make sure the line is visible across zoom levels.
Theme & Colors — use distinct colors for each anchor (e.g., white for Weekly, aqua for Session/Event) so you don’t mix them up.
How AVWAP pairs with other tools
Cumulative Volume Delta v1 (CVDv1) — confirms flow quality at AVWAP.
Don’t chase a tag through AVWAP if CVD Absorption is red (typical failed break conditions).
Do prefer reclaims when Alignment = OK and Imbalance % is strong for your anchor.
Volume Profile v3.2 — gives you objective levels (POC/VAH/VAL/HVNs).
AVWAP + VAH/VAL confluence is where you plan trades.
Passing through an LVN toward AVWAP often travels fast; use that to manage risk.
(Add a screenshot that highlights AVWAP touching VAL with CVDv1 “Efficient” → clean bounce to POC.)
A simple, durable playbook
Pick one slow anchor (e.g., Weekly) for bias and one fast anchor (Session/Event) for timing.
Trade at the line, not mid-air: reclaims and rejections at AVWAP are your signals.
Require confirmation from flow: CVDv1 Alignment OK, Imbalance strong, Absorption ≠ red on the trigger bar.
Add Volume Profile v3.2 for targets (POC/HVNs) and edges (VAH/VAL).
If price accepts beyond AVWAP (closes and holds), stop fading and instead join pullbacks to the line.
Common mistakes AVWAP solves
“Mean keeps moving, my MA lies.” AVWAP weights actual traded volume, so fair value adapts to where business was done, not just where price wandered.
“It broke the line and reversed.” That’s no acceptance (or CVDv1 flagged Absorption). Wait for the retest/hold.
“Too many lines, can’t decide.” Keep two anchors max: one for bias, one for timing.
Practical defaults to start with
Intraday: Session AVWAP only. Add an Event AVWAP on special days.
Swing: Weekly AVWAP + one Event AVWAP (start of move or weekly open).
Colors: Distinct but readable (e.g., white for Weekly, aqua for Session/Event).
No smoothing. Let the line be honest—your eyes adjust quickly.

Order Blocks + Order-Flow ProxiesOrder Blocks + Order-Flow Proxies
This indicator combines structural analysis of order blocks with lightweight order-flow style proxies, providing a tool for chart annotation and contextual study. It is designed to help users visualize where significant structural shifts occur and how simple volume-based signals behave around those areas. The script does not guarantee profitable outcomes, nor does it issue financial advice. It is intended purely for research, learning, and discretionary use.
Conceptual Background
Order Blocks
An “order block” is a term often used to describe a zone on the chart where price left behind a significant reversal or imbalance before continuing strongly in the opposite direction. In practice, this can mean the last bullish or bearish candle before a strong breakout. Traders sometimes study these regions because they believe that unfilled resting orders may exist there, or simply because they mark important pivots in price structure. This indicator detects such moments by scanning for breaks of structure (BOS). When price pushes above or below recent swing levels with sufficient displacement, the script identifies the prior opposite candle as the potential order block.
Break of Structure
A break of structure in this context is defined when the closing price moves beyond the highest high or lowest low of a short lookback window. The script compares the magnitude of this break to an ATR-based displacement filter. This helps ensure that only meaningful moves are marked rather than small, random fluctuations.
Order-Flow Proxies
Traditional order flow analysis may use bid/ask data, footprint charts, or volume profiles. Because TradingView scripts cannot access true order-book data, this indicator instead uses proxy signals derived from standard chart data:
Delta (proxy): Estimated imbalance of buying vs. selling pressure, approximated using bar direction and volume.
Imbalance ratio: Normalizes delta by total volume, ranging between -1 and +1 in theory.
Cumulative Delta (CVD): Running sum of delta over time.
Effort vs. Result (EvR): A comparison between volume and actual bar movement, highlighting cases where large effort produced little result (or vice versa).
These are not real order-flow measurements, but rather simple mathematical constructs that mimic some of its logic.
How the Script Works
Detecting Break of Structure
The user specifies a swing length. When price closes above the recent high (for bullish BOS) or below the recent low (for bearish BOS), a potential shift is recorded.
To qualify, the breakout must exceed a displacement filter proportional to the ATR. This helps filter out weak moves.
Locating the Order Block Candle
Once a BOS is confirmed, the script looks back within a short window to find the last opposite-colored candle.
The high/low or open/close of that candle (depending on user settings) is marked as the potential order block zone.
Drawing and Maintaining Zones
Each order block is represented as a colored rectangle extending forward in time.
Bullish zones are teal by default, bearish zones are red.
Zones extend until invalidated (price closing or wicking beyond them, depending on user preference) or until a user-defined lifespan expires.
A pruning mechanism ensures that only the most recent set number of zones remain, preventing chart overload.
Monitoring Touches
The script checks whether the current bar’s range overlaps any existing order block.
If so, the “closest” zone is considered touched, and a label may appear on the chart.
Confirmation Filters
Touches can optionally be confirmed by order-flow proxies.
For a bullish confirmation, the following must align:
Imbalance ratio above threshold,
Delta EMA positive,
Effort vs. Result positive.
For a bearish confirmation, the opposite holds true.
Optionally, a higher-timeframe EMA slope filter can gate these confirmations. For example, a bullish confirmation may only be accepted if the higher-timeframe EMA is sloping upward.
Alerts
Users may create alerts based on conditions such as “bullish touch confirmed” or “bearish touch confirmed.”
Alerts can be gated to only fire after bar close, reducing intrabar noise.
Standard alertcondition calls are provided, and optional inline alert() calls can be enabled.
Inputs and Customization
Structure & OB
Swing length: Defines how many bars back to check for BOS.
ATR length & displacement factor: Adjust sensitivity for structural breaks.
Body vs. wick reference: Choose whether zones are based on candle bodies or full ranges.
Invalidation rule: Pick between wick breach or close beyond the level.
Lifespan (bars): Limit how long a zone remains active.
Max keep: Cap the number of zones stored to reduce clutter.
Order-Flow Proxies
Delta mode: Choose between “Close vs Previous Close” or “Body” for delta calculation.
EMA length: Smooths the delta/imbalance series.
Z-score lookback: Defines the averaging window for EvR.
Confirmation thresholds: Adjust the imbalance levels required for long/short confirmation.
Higher Timeframe Filter
Enable HTF gate: Optional filter requiring higher-timeframe EMA slope alignment.
HTF timeframe & EMA length: Configurable for context alignment.
Style
Colors and transparency for bullish and bearish zones.
Border color customization.
Alerts
Enable inline alerts: Optional direct calls to alert().
Alerts on bar close only: Helps avoid multiple firings during bar formation.
Practical Use
This tool is best seen as a way to annotate charts and to study how simple volume-derived signals behave near important structural levels. Some users may:
Observe whether order blocks line up with later price reactions.
Study how imbalance or cumulative delta conditions align with these zones.
Use it in a discretionary workflow to highlight areas of interest for deeper analysis.
Because the proxies are based only on candle OHLCV data, they are approximations. They cannot replace true depth-of-market analysis. Similarly, order block detection here is one specific algorithmic interpretation; other traders may define order blocks differently.
Limitations and Disclaimers
This indicator does not predict future price movement.
It does not access real order book or tick-by-tick data. All signals are derived from bar OHLCV.
Past performance of signals or zones does not guarantee future results.
The script is for educational and informational purposes only. It is not financial advice.
Users should test thoroughly, adjust parameters to their own instruments and timeframes, and use it in combination with broader analysis.
Summary
The Order Blocks + Order-Flow Proxies script is an experimental study tool that:
Detects potential order blocks using a displacement-filtered break of structure.
Marks these zones as boxes that persist until invalidation or expiry.
Provides lightweight order-flow-style proxies such as delta, imbalance, CVD, and effort vs. result.
Allows confirmation of zone touches through these proxies and optional higher-timeframe context.
Offers flexible customization, alerting, and chart-style options.
It is not a trading system by itself but rather a framework for studying price/volume behavior around structurally significant areas. With careful exploration, it can give users new ways to visualize market structure and to understand how simple flow-like measures behave in those contexts.

Liquidity Spectrum Visualizer [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Liquidity Spectrum Visualizer is a smart tool for exposing hidden liquidity zones by combining a dynamic volume profile, clear liquidity levels, and intuitive volume bubbles directly on your price chart. It shows you exactly where significant volume is clustering inside your chosen lookback period — highlighting where big market participants may be defending price or planning breakouts.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Volume Profile Bins: Breaks your custom lookback range into 100 fine price bins, calculating total volume per bin to create a precise vertical liquidity histogram.
Liquidity Levels: Bins with high relative volume automatically plot as horizontal lines — thicker and brighter lines signal stronger liquidity concentrations.
Dynamic Coloring: Profile bins and liquidity levels adjust their colors live based on whether current price is trading above (support) or below (resistance).
Volume Bubbles: Each candle displays a bubble at its HLC3 price —
- The bubble’s size shows relative candle volume.
- Its color gradient indicates bullish or bearish volume: greenish for bullish candles, orange for bearish.
Bubble Labels: The largest bubbles automatically label the actual volume amount, revealing big hidden flows.
Range Box High/Low: Marks the absolute swing high and low inside the lookback window, clearly framing the active liquidity zone.
🔵 FEATURES
Smart, auto-scaled volume profile up to 200 candles (or custom).
Liquidity levels with dynamic thickness and color based on real-time volume.
Bubbles sized and colored to show both volume magnitude and bullish/bearish bias.
Largest bubbles labeled for fast detection of high-impact bars.
High and low price labels clearly show the analyzed range.
Toggle Volume Profile, Liquidity Levels, and Bubbles independently.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Watch for thick, bright liquidity levels — these zones mark where large orders or stop clusters are likely hidden.
Use dynamic coloring: if price is above a level, it’s support; if below, it’s resistance.
Pay special attention to big bubbles: these mark sudden spikes in traded volume and can signal absorption, traps, breakouts or significant price levels.
Combine with your existing confluence tools to confirm breakouts or fakeouts around visible liquidity clusters.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Liquidity Spectrum Visualizer transforms hidden order flow into an intuitive, color-coded map. You see at a glance where price is absorbing, consolidating, or ready to break — all powered by real-time volume behavior and smart visuals. It’s a must-have tool for traders who want to read liquidity and react ahead of the crowd.
Smart Range DetectorSmart Range Detector
What It Does
This indicator automatically detects and validates significant trading ranges using pivot point analysis combined with logarithmic fibonacci relationships. It operates by identifying specific pivot patterns (High-Low-High and Low-High-Low) that meet fibonacci validation criteria to filter out noise and highlight only the most reliable trading ranges. Each range is continuously monitored for potential mitigation (breakout) events.
Key Features
Identifies both High-Low-High and Low-High-Low range patterns
Validates each range using logarithmic fibonacci relationships (more accurate than linear fibs)
Detects range mitigations (breakouts) and visually differentiates them
Shows fibonacci levels within ranges (25%, 50%, 75%) for potential reversal points
Visualizes extension levels beyond ranges for breakout targets
Analyzes volume profile with customizable price divisions (default: 60)
Displays Point of Control (POC) and Value Area for traded volume analysis
Implements performance optimization with configurable range limits
Includes user-adjustable safety checks to prevent Pine Script limitations
Offers fully customizable colors, line widths, and transparency settings
How To Use It
Identify Valid Ranges : The indicator automatically detects and highlights trading ranges that meet fibonacci validation criteria
Monitor Fibonacci Levels : Watch for price reactions at internal fib levels (25%, 50%, 75%) for potential reversal opportunities
Track Extension Targets : Use the extension lines as potential targets when price breaks out of a range
Analyze Volume Structure : Enable the volume profile mode to see where most volume was traded within mitigated ranges
Trade Range Boundaries : Look for reactions at range highs/lows combined with volume POC for higher probability entries
Manage Performance : Adjust the maximum displayed ranges and history bars settings for optimal chart performance
Settings Guide
Left/Right Bars Look Back : Controls how far back the indicator looks to identify pivot points (higher values find more ranges but may reduce sensitivity)
Max History Bars : Limits how far back in history the indicator will analyze (stays within Pine Script's 10,000 bar limitation)
Max Ranges to Display : Restricts the total number of ranges kept in memory for improved performance (1-50)
Volume Profile : When enabled, shows volume distribution analysis for mitigated ranges
Volume Profile Divisions : Controls the granularity of the volume analysis (higher values show more detail)
Display Options : Toggle visibility of range lines, fibonacci levels, extension lines, and volume analysis elements
Transparency & Color Settings : Fully customize the visual appearance of all indicator elements
Line Width Settings : Adjust the thickness of lines for better visibility on different timeframes
Technical Details
The indicator uses logarithmic fibonacci calculations for more accurate price relationships
Volume profile analysis creates 60 price divisions by default (adjustable) for detailed volume distribution
All timestamps are properly converted to work with Pine Script's bar limitations
Safety checks prevent "array index out of bounds" errors that plague many complex indicators
Time-based coordinates are used instead of bar indices to prevent "bar index too far" errors
This indicator works well on all timeframes and instruments, but performs best on 5-minute to daily charts. Perfect for swing traders, range traders, and breakout strategists.
What Makes It Different
Most range indicators simply draw boxes based on recent highs and lows. Smart Range Detector validates each potential range using proven fibonacci relationships to filter out noise. It then adds sophisticated volume analysis to help traders identify the most significant price levels within each range. The performance optimization features ensure smooth operation even on lower timeframes and extended history analysis.
Volume Zones Internal Visualizer [LuxAlgo]The Volume Zones Internal Visualizer is an alternate candle type intended to reveal lower timeframe volume activity while on a higher timeframe chart.
It displays the candle's range, the highest and lowest zones of accumulated volume throughout the candle, and the Lower Timeframe (LTF) candle close, which contained the most volume in the session (Candle Session).
🔶 USAGE
The indicator is intended to be used as its own independent candle type. It is not a replacement for traditional candlesticks; however, it is recommended that you hide the chart's display when using this indicator. Another option is to display this indicator in an additional pane alongside the normal chart, as displayed above.
The display consists of candle ranges represented by outlined boxes, within the ranges you will notice a transparent-colored zone, a solid-colored zone, and a line.
Each of these displays different points of volume-related information from an analysis of LTF data.
In addition to this analysis, the indicator also locates the LTF candle with the highest volume, and displays its close represented by the line. This line is considered as the "Peak Activity Level" (PAL), since throughout the (HTF) candle session, this candle's close is the outcome of the most volume transacted at the time.
We are further tracking these PALs by continuing to extend them into the future, looking towards them for potential further interaction. Once a PAL is crossed, we are removing it from display as it has been mitigated.
🔶 DETAILS
The indicator aggregates the volume data from each LTF candle and creates a volume profile from it; the number of rows in the profile is determined by the "Row Size" setting.
With this profile, it locates and displays the highest (solid area) and lowest (transparent area) volume zones from the profile created.
🔶 SETTINGS
Row Size: Sets the number of rows used for the calculation of the volume profile based on LTF data.
Intrabar Timeframe: Sets the Lower Timeframe to use for calculations.
Show Last Unmitigated PALs: Choose how many Unmitigated PALs to extend.
Style: Toggle on and off features, as well as adjust colors for each.
Lockin Strength Indicator (LSI)How It Works:
RSI Calculation: The standard RSI is calculated using a 14-period by default.
Volume Weighting: If enabled, the LSI modifies the RSI by weighting it based on the volume relative to its moving average. This emphasizes periods of high or low volume, which can be particularly useful for Solana-based assets that might have unique volume profiles.
Plotting: The LSI is plotted with standard overbought and oversold levels, and background highlighting makes these areas visually distinct.
Customization:
RSI Length: You can adjust the length of the RSI period.
Overbought/Oversold Levels: You can modify the levels for overbought and oversold signals.
Volume Weighting: You can toggle volume weighting on or off.
This indicator is designed to give you a more nuanced view of Solana cryptocurrencies by combining RSI with volume dynamics.

Keltner Channels v1 [JopAlgo]Keltner Channels v1 — a clean volatility envelope for timing pullbacks, breakouts, and risk
Keltner Channels are a moving-average centerline with volatility-based bands above and below. They give you a live “speed limit” for price: when the market is calm, bands are tight (expect mean reversion); when volatility expands, bands widen (trend moves can breathe). KC v1 keeps the classic idea but adds a small twist that traders appreciate in crypto: an adaptive centerline that switches between EMA and SMA based on trendiness, plus a choice of how you measure volatility for the bands.
This makes KC v1 useful for any timeframe—from fast scalps to multi-day swings—because it answers three practical questions on every chart:
Where’s the “middle” of price right now? (the centerline)
How far is “far” for current volatility? (the bands)
Should I fade back to the middle or ride with the expansion? (context from band width + slope)
If you attach screenshots to your script page, show one image labeling Upper / Middle / Lower bands with a classic pullback-to-middle entry, and another showing a band expansion where price hugs the outer band in trend.
What you’re seeing (and how it’s computed)
Middle band (MA):
KC v5 computes both an EMA and an SMA of your source (default close) with the same length, then auto-selects the middle band:
If ATR > SMA(ATR) over length, KC marks the market as trending and uses the EMA (faster, responsive).
Otherwise, it uses the SMA (steadier) in balance.
Result: you get a centerline that’s calm in chop and snappier in trend, without touching settings.
Upper / Lower bands:
upper = middle + (mult × volatility)
lower = middle - (mult × volatility)
You choose the volatility measure via Bands Style:
Average True Range (default): smooth, robust; uses ATR(atrlength). Best all-around choice.
True Range: raw TR each bar (more jumpy; reacts to gaps and spikes quickly).
Range: RMA of (high - low) over length (gentler; good for tight mean-reversion regimes).
Colors & fill:
Upper = red, Lower = green, Middle = white, with muted fill between bands so you can still read candles.
How to use Keltner Channels on any timeframe
Same framework everywhere: trade with the envelope when expanding, fade back to the middle when contracting—but only at objective locations and with healthy flow.
Scalping (1–5m)
Pullback-to-middle entry: In a micro-trend, wait for price to retrace to the middle band and print a hold. Enter with the trend, stop just beyond the opposite side of the middle or below minor structure; first target is the near band.
Band tap fades (only in contraction): When bands are tightening and the middle is flat, quick fades from upper → middle or lower → middle are high-probability if your volume/flow read doesn’t show aggressive pressure against you.
Avoid: Fading when bands expand and middle slopes—expect continuation instead.
Intraday (15m–1H)
Continuation rides: When bands open up (volatility expansion) and the middle slopes, price often walks the outer band. Enter on minor pullbacks that hold above the middle (for longs) and trail using the middle band or a structure stop.
Squeeze to break: A period of narrowing bands often precedes a move. Let price close outside the channel with good flow, then buy the retest toward the middle that holds.
Swing (2H–4H)
Trend participation: In established trends, treat pullbacks to the middle band as your primary entry. The upper/lower band is not a take-profit by itself—use it with Volume Profile targets (POC/HVNs) or key swing levels.
Mean reversion in balance: When the middle is flat and bands are tight over many bars, fade outer band → middle at Volume Profile edges, provided your flow read isn’t showing absorption against your idea.
Position (1D–1W)
Context: Use KC to judge regime (wide bands + slope = trend; tight/flat = balance). Position entries come from pullbacks to middle that coincide with Weekly AVWAP / VP value edges.
Entries, exits, and risk (simple rules)
Trend entry (with expansion):
Wait for band expansion + sloping middle in your direction. Enter on the first clean pullback to middle (or shallow pullback that can’t even tag middle).
Stop: below the middle band or just beyond local swing.
Trail: by the middle band in trend, or step-trail under pivots.
Targets: next Volume Profile HVN/POC or structural levels; the far Keltner band is a context line, not a hard TP.
Mean-reversion entry (in contraction):
Bands tight + flat middle → fade outer band back to middle at a Volume Profile VA edge.
Stop: just beyond the band.
Target: middle band (first), opposite band if flow remains weak.
Breakout confirmation:
A strong close outside the band by itself can be a trap. Treat it as signal only when your flow read confirms (see “Combining with other tools”).
Settings that actually matter (and how to tune them)
MA Length (default 20): controls both middle smoothness and the trending test (ATR vs SMA(ATR)).
Shorter (10–14) reacts faster, more whips in chop.
Longer (30–50) steadier middle, better for swings/position.
Multiplier (default 2.0): scales band distance.
Crypto majors: 1.8–2.2 is a good starting range on 15m–4H.
Volatile alts: 2.2–2.6 to avoid over-triggering.
If you keep getting faked out on fades: increase the multiplier.
If the channel rarely contains price for long stretches: decrease slightly.
Bands Style:
ATR for most use cases;
TR when you want maximum responsiveness to spikes;
Range for calmer envelopes in slow, balanced markets.
ATR Length (default 10): only applies if you choose ATR for band style.
Shorter = quicker band changes, good for scalps;
Longer = steadier bands for swings.
Note: KC v1 auto-selects EMA vs SMA for the middle band using the ATR trend test. That’s intentional, so you don’t have to toggle it manually.
What to look for (pattern cheatsheet)
Walk-the-band: In expansion, price hugs the outer band and barely returns to the middle—ride, don’t fade.
First touch of middle in trend: Often the cleanest add or first entry after a breakout.
Band pinch (“squeeze”): A long, narrow channel with flat middle sets up a breakout. Wait for acceptance (close outside + hold on retest).
False break tell: Price pokes outside band but closes back inside quickly—watch for reversion to middle, especially if your flow read shows Absorption against the poke.
Combining KC v1 with other tools
like the Cumulative Volume Delta v1 (CVDv1):
Do not chase an outside-band move if CVDv1 shows Absorption—that’s a classic failed break.
Prefer pullbacks to the middle band when Alignment = OK and Imbalance % is strong in your direction.
Reclaim setups: after a poke outside the band, a CVD divergence on the return through the middle often precedes a mean-reversion run.
Volume Profile v3.2 :
Use VAH/VAL/LVNs for location. A pullback-to-middle that coincides with VA boundary is A-tier.
Breakouts through LVNs with expanding bands tend to travel fast toward the next HVN/POC—good for continuation targets.
(A great screenshot: KC middle kiss at VAL with CVDv1 Efficient, then a move to POC.)
Common pitfalls KC v1 helps you avoid
Fading expansion: Trying to short the upper band when bands are widening and middle slopes up is how you get steamrolled. KC tells you it’s not that kind of day.
Chasing inside contraction: Buying every tiny outside poke while bands are pinched leads to whips. Let acceptance form; buy the retest to middle that holds.
Stops too tight: In trend, volatility is elevated; stops need to live beyond the middle or behind structure, not right at the band.
Practical defaults to start with
Length: 20
Multiplier: 2.0 (adjust ±0.2–0.4 per asset)
Bands Style: ATR
ATR Length: 10
Timeframes: works out of the box on 15m–4H; for 1–5m scalps, consider length=14; for daily swings, length=30.

Wyckoff Smart Money Pro [MTF]Wyckoff Smart Money Pro detects trading ranges, phases, and events from the Wyckoff method and confirms them with VSA (Volume Spread Analysis), divergence checks, and a composite “smart money” strength index. It generates optional buy/sell signals only when multiple conditions align (phase, VSA, CO strength, effort vs. result, time/volume filters). The dashboard, POC/Value Area, and MTF backdrop help you manage context and risk in real time.
What this indicator does
Wyckoff Smart Money Pro is a multi-timeframe Wyckoff tool that:
⦁ Finds accumulation/distribution ranges and tracks Phases A–E.
⦁ Labels Wyckoff events (PS, SC, AR, ST, Spring/Test, SOS, LPS, UTAD, SOW, LPSY, TS…) and VSA patterns (No Demand/Supply, Stopping Volume, Upthrust, etc.).
⦁ Computes a Composite Operator (CO) Strength score from price/volume behavior to approximate “smart money” bias.
⦁ Adds divergence, effort vs. result, and a volume profile (POC & 70% value area) inside the detected range.
⦁ Provides buy/sell signals only when a configurable confluence is present (events + VSA + CO + EVR + phase + filters).
⦁ Supports MTF context (with a safe HTF resolver and fallbacks) and an Info Dashboard to summarize the current state.
It is designed to make the Wyckoff workflow visual and rules-based without promising results or automating decisions.
How it works (methods & calculations)
1) Range & Phase model
⦁ A sliding lookback searches for a valid range (recent highest high/lowest low), requiring width within 2–10× ATR(14) and a minimum bar count inside the bounds.
⦁ Once a range is active, the script derives Creek/Ice/Mid/Quartiles and classifies bars into Wyckoff Phases A–E using event recency (barssince) and where price sits relative to the range.
⦁ The background color reflects the current Phase; optional MTF events (from the chosen HTF) tint the background lightly for higher-timeframe context.
2) Wyckoff & VSA event engine
⦁ Events include PS, SC, AR, ST, Spring, Test, SOS, LPS, PSY, BC, UTAD, SOW, LPSY, TS, plus minor/multiple variants and Creek/Ice jumps.
⦁ VSA patterns detect No Demand/No Supply, Stopping Volume, Buying/Selling Climax, Upthrust/Pseudo Upthrust, Bag Holding, Shake-Out, Volume Dry-Up, etc., from spread vs. average spread and volume vs. average volume with tunable thresholds.
3) Smart-money (CO) Strength
⦁ CO Strength (0–100) blends: relative volume on up/down bars, professional accumulation/distribution, no-supply/no-demand, stopping volume, Springs/UTADs and Tests, SOS/SOW, price’s position inside the range, and volume-delta vs. its MA.
⦁ Persistent accumCount / distCount counters smooth temporary noise.
4) Divergence & Effort-vs-Result
⦁ Price vs. cum volume-delta divergence highlights weakening pushes.
⦁ EVR flags “High effort / no result” and potential Bullish/Bearish reversals, or “Low effort / high result” moves that are often unsustainable.
5) Volume Profile (inside range)
⦁ A 50-bin profile accumulates volume across the detected range to derive POC, VAH/VAL (70% value area). Lines update as the active range evolves.
6) Multi-Timeframe (MTF) safety
⦁ getHTF() converts your multiplier to a valid Pine timeframe string (e.g., 60, 240, 2D, 1W), and the script falls back to current timeframe values if an HTF request returns na.
⦁ If you enter a Custom HTF, it must be strictly higher than the chart’s timeframe (validated at runtime).
7) Signals & risk model
⦁ Signals are not tied to any single pattern. A buy may require Spring/Test/Shake-out/Creek Jump or SOS plus confirmation (VSA, CO>60, Phase C/D, divergence/EVR context).
⦁ Sell is symmetrical (UTAD/Failed Spring/SOW/Ice Jump + VSA + CO<40 + Phase C/D).
⦁ Minimum confidence is configurable; SL/TP and R:R lines are drawn from range edges or recent bar extremes.
⦁ Filters: trading hours, weekend avoidance, and a minimum volume threshold (relative to average) are available to suppress low-quality contexts.
⦁ Alerts include all major events, divergences, structure/phase changes, and the gated Buy/Sell signals (with a cooldown to reduce alert spam).
Inputs (key ones you’ll actually use)
⦁ Display Settings: toggle ranges, phases, events, VSA, signals, dashboard.
⦁ MTF: Enable HTF, set Multiplier or a Custom HTF (must be higher than current).
⦁ Range Detection: period / min bars / pivot strength.
⦁ VSA: volume sensitivity & climax multiplier.
⦁ Signal Settings: minimum confidence, risk/reward labels.
⦁ Advanced Filters: trading hours, weekend avoidance, and Min Volume Filter (× avg).
⦁ Colors: phase backgrounds, structure colors, and line styling.
How to use (practical flow)
1. Choose a symbol & timeframe you normally analyze (e.g., 5–60m for entries, 4H/D for context).
2. If using MTF, pick a multiplier (e.g., 5×) or a Custom HTF (e.g., 240/4H).
3. Wait for a range to form; watch Phase and CO Strength on the Dashboard.
4. When events (e.g., Spring/Test in Phase C or UTAD in distribution) appear with favorable VSA, CO, EVR, and volume/time filters, consider the signal and review R:R lines.
5. Use POC/VA and Creek/Ice/Mid as structure references; manage risk around the range edge that generated the setup.

Notes, limits & best practices
⦁ This is not a buy/sell system; it’s a context & confirmation tool. Combine with your plan, risk limits, and execution criteria.
⦁ Long, illiquid, or news-driven bars can distort volume/spread logic; filters help but cannot eliminate this.
⦁ For MTF, if an exchange doesn’t support a specific HTF, the script falls back safely to current TF values to avoid na-propagation.
⦁ Dashboard rows/size/position are user-configurable to keep charts uncluttered.
Changelog (what’s new in this version)
⦁ MTF safety & validation (Custom HTF must be above current; graceful fallbacks for request.security() na results).
⦁ Performance caching for close position & up/down bar flags; drawing cleanup to stay under label/line limits.
⦁ Volume Profile upgraded to 50 bins; VA algorithm adjusted accordingly.
⦁ Signal gating with time/day/volume filters and alert cooldown to reduce noise.
⦁ Bug guards for parameter conflicts (e.g., rangeMinBars cannot exceed rangePeriod).

VP + Game Theory Integrated Strategy9s için DüşünceVP + Game Theory Integrated Strategy Indicator: Explanation and Working Logic
Hello! You can upload the provided Pine Script code to TradingView. This is compatible with Pine Script Editor (v6 version) – simply copy-paste it directly. The indicator's name is "VP + Game Theory Integrated Strategy," and since overlay=true, it will display on top of the price chart (over the candlesticks). Maximum boxes, lines, and labels are set to 500, so it handles dense charts without performance issues.
Below, I'll provide a detailed explanation of the indicator, its working logic, main components, and usage tips step by step. This indicator integrates Volume Profile (VP), Game Theory, and Wick (Candle Wick) Patterns to generate buy/sell signals. It aims to detect high-probability reversal points by analyzing market liquidity, herd behavior, and institutional movements. It's suitable for crypto, forex, or stock markets, but always backtest before using in live trading.
1. General Description
Purpose: This indicator combines volume-based analysis (Volume Profile), game theory elements (herd behavior, Nash equilibrium, contrarian strategies), and candle wick patterns. It identifies strong resistance/support levels (POC, VAH/VAL, liquidity zones) and generates "Power" signals based on them. Signals are shown with labels, lines, and alerts for buy (green) or sell (red).
Key Features:
Volume Profile (VP): Calculates high-volume areas (POC: Point of Control, the highest volume level; VAH/VAL: Value Area High/Low) and displays them on the chart.
Game Theory (GT): Models the market as "players" (retail herd, institutions). Detects herd buying/selling panics and generates contrarian signals.
Wick-Based Signals: Captures reversals with large wicks. Applies strict criteria for "Power" and "Ultra Power" levels.
Market Maker (MM) Elements: Monitors liquidity traps and institutional volume spikes.
Visualization: Nash bands, liquidity boxes, info table (top-right), background colors, and alerts.
Signal Types: Normal, Power, Ultra Power, GT-confirmed. Signals are limited (max 1-5 per zone) with a minimum wait time (40 bars).
Input Parameters: Grouped into 3 sections (GT, Wick, VP, MM). Default values are balanced, but customizable (e.g., strictMode=true makes it more selective).
Warning: This is an indicator, not a full strategy. It includes alerts, but add stop-loss/take-profit for risk management. Use TradingView's Strategy Tester for backtesting.
2. Working Logic (Step by Step)
The indicator processes each bar (candle) as follows:
a. Basic Calculations
ATR (Average True Range): Measures volatility (20 periods). Candle size (high-low) must be at least ATR x 2.5 for signals to be valid.
Candle Components: Calculates candle body (close-open), upper/lower wick.
Volume Analysis: Average volume (SMA 20), detects spikes (based on threshold).
Trend Filter: EMAs (20/50/200) determine up/downtrend. In strict mode, it's stricter (strong uptrend: EMA20 > EMA50 > EMA200 and close > EMA20).
b. Game Theory (GT) Component
Herd Behavior: RSI (14) overbought/oversold (70/30) + volume spike + momentum detects it. Herd buying: Overbuying frenzy (red background). Herd selling: Selling panic (green background).
Institutional Flow: Volume > average x 2.5 + Accumulation/Distribution (AD) indicator. Accumulation: Institutions buying (strengthens buy signals). Distribution: Selling (strengthens sell).
Liquidity Traps: In the last 50 bars, if a new high/low is broken but close pulls back + volume spike = Trap (up/down).
Smart Money: Intra-candle movement (close-open)/(high-low) x volume. Positive = Smart money inflow.
Nash Equilibrium: Price mean (SMA 100) ± deviation (stdev x 0.02). In equilibrium: Normal. Above: Sell potential. Below: Buy. Bands are optionally shown.
GT Signals:
Contrarian: Herd selling + accumulation = Buy.
Momentum: Below Nash + positive smart money = Buy (opposite for sell).
Nash Reversion: Below Nash + rising close + volume = Buy.
Power Signal: At least 3 GT signals (min_signals_for_power=3) + volume confirmation = Power GT buy/sell. Can show only GT-confirmed signals (show_gt_only_signals=true).
c. Volume Profile (VP) Component
Calculation: For the last 100 bars (vpPeriod), divides the price range (high-low) into vpRows (24) rows. Distributes volume across rows.
POC (Point of Control): Highest volume level (orange line). Threshold 80% (pocThreshold).
Value Area (VA): 70% of total volume (valueAreaPercent). VAH (upper bound, blue dotted), VAL (lower bound).
High-Volume Area: Price near POC or volume > POC x 80% = Strong zone.
Visualization: Histogram boxes on the right (blue/orange). POC/VAH/VAL lines and labels.
d. Wick (Candle Wick) and Power Signals
Main Wick Criteria: Large candle (ATR x 2.5), small body (<8%), wick 8x body length (anaFitilCarpan) and 80% of candle (anaFitilYuzde). High volume + trend filter (downtrend for upper wick).
Signal Wick: More flexible for triggers (5x length, 70%).
Power/Ultra Power:
Power Sell: Main upper wick + near POC/VAH + MM volume (2.5x) + GT contrarian/momentum.
Power Buy: Similar for lower wick.
Super Wick: Power + institutional volume + strong momentum.
Ultra Power: Super + GT power (3/3) + distribution/accumulation + Nash deviation + liquidity trap. Rarest and strongest (fuchsia/lime color).
Signal Management: Detected wick level (high/low) is saved. Wait min 40 bars, max 1-5 signals per zone. When trigger candle arrives (price reaches level + long wick + close in opposite direction) = BUY/SELL plotshape.
e. Market Maker (MM) and Liquidity
MM Volume: Average x 2.5 + wick bonus (1.3x).
Liquidity Zones: Saves last 20 high-volume highs/lows. Shown as boxes on chart (red/green, lasting 200 bars).
Traps: Integrated with GT, strengthens power signals.
f. Visualization and Alerts
Background: Ultra Power (fuchsia/lime), Power GT (red/green), Herd (red/green).
Lines: Active resistance/support (dashed, colored).
Table (Top-Right): Resistance/support levels, remaining signals, POC/VAH/VAL, GT status (herd, institutional, Nash, signal strength), volume/liquidity.
Alerts: For Ultra Power, GT Power, Super Wick, normal signals. Messages include level/price.
g. Filters and Options
Strict Mode: Stricter (higher volume 1.5x, strong trend, RSI filter).
Require Volume Confirmation: Mandatory volume check.
Only Show Power Signals: Display only power/ultra.
Require Ultra Power: Strictest, only ultra.
3. Usage Tips
Chart Timeframe: H1-D1 for medium-long term. Shorter frames (M1-M5) may produce too many signals.
Settings:
StrictMode=true: Fewer but higher-quality signals.
Use_game_theory=false: Use only VP + Wicks.
ShowVP=false: Hide histogram to reduce clutter.
Strategy Integration: Filter BUY/SELL with EMAs. Stop-loss: ATR x 1-2, Take-profit: POC/VAH levels.
Backtesting: Convert to strategy in TradingView (use alertconditions). Test on historical data.
Risk: Designed for market manipulation (MM traps), but no indicator is 100% accurate. Apply capital management.
Troubleshooting: If errors (e.g., vpInitialized=false), increase period or refresh chart.
This indicator is complex but powerful – blending VP for volume zones with GT for psychology. If you have questions or need setting changes, let me know!
