PhantomFlow DynamicLevelsThe PhantomFlow Dynamic Levels indicator analyzes the dynamic volume over the period specified in the Period field. Channel boundaries can be used as dynamic support and resistance levels when trading within a range. The POC level also serves as a level at which the price may react during trend movements. The Period Multiplier parameter affects how many dynamic levels will be displayed. The Accuracy parameter influences the precision of volume calculations.
These levels are crucial for intraday traders as they serve as support or resistance. The Value Area zone includes 70% of the traded volume over the selected period. In other words, it represents the price region where the majority of traders believe the fair value for the asset lies.
The indicator's name, Dynamic Levels, aptly captures its essence. It analyzes trading volume at various price levels, tracking the sentiment dynamics of traders. When the asset's price decreases or increases as a result of trading, the Dynamic Levels indicator displays a new level on the chart. This results in a plotted line on the chart, allowing us to observe the movement dynamics of both the value area and the maximum volume level.
Standard indicators do not provide real-time visibility into level shifts, making the use of the Dynamic Levels indicator a competitive advantage in market trading across any time frame.
We borrowed the volume profile calculation code from @LonesomeTheBlue. Thank you for the work done!

Professional Zones - Institutional Demand and Supply Imbalances
Intro to Supply and Demand Zone Technical Analysis
Supply and demand is an increasingly common strategy among day and swing traders in equity, forex, and the futures markets. The goal of analyzing supply and demand zones is to pre-determine where price action may pivot before that pivot happens, thus giving us an edge over the market. There are many unique charting/trading strategies that fit under the supply and demand umbrella, however we are going to focus primarily on Institutional Zones of Demand and Supply Imbalances, as this is what our TradingView indicator actively displays.
What are Institutional Zones of Demand and Supply Imbalances?
First, let’s break down the phrase above. The first word is ‘institutional’, which is a key aspect in our trading. As a retail trader, you must understand that retail traders (individual traders like you and I) have very little control and very little effect on price action in the major markets. The price action that we see everyday is caused by large institutions and hedge funds buying and selling equities in massive quantities.
This chart displays the price action for ES, which is the S&P500 E-mini futures .
At the time this guide was created, that chart for ES displays the low of this year (2022). You can see major highs and major lows, as well as steep drops and momentous runs.
Price action like this appears random to the naked eye, however it is all controlled by major institutions. These institutions place large buy and sell orders for markets such as the S&P 500 Index which causes these moves.
Our Institutional Demand and Supply Analysis attempts to discover the price zones where institutions have placed their buy/sell orders. Their buy orders create “demand zones”. And their sell orders create “supply zones”. Knowing where these zones exist allows us to anticipate price trend reversals so we can profitably participate in them alongside the major institutions when these key moves take place.
We are looking for areas in the chart where institutions have created major imbalances (more buy orders than sell orders or vice versa) which creates demand and supply zones that impact price action and trend reversals in predictable ways.
What Causes These Supply and Demand Zones?
Understanding that institutions control the price of the markets is crucial for understanding how these zones of supply and demand imbalances are formed, and it can be derived from historical price action.
There are two types of price action, balanced and imbalanced. Balanced price action is flat, consolidatory price action where the overall direction is sideways. Imbalanced price action is an exaggerated move in price either up or down. Now here is the key: institutional supply and demand imbalances are formed when price action goes from balanced to imbalanced. Below is an example of balanced price action .
There are clearly areas of institutional buy and sell orders that are causing price action to oscillate between the areas of demand and supply. The longer price action consolidates and moves sideways, the larger the volume profile will be in this range. In other words, more institutional orders will build up as price remains relatively the same for a longer period of time.
Here is how a demand zone is formed :
Due to bullish CPI news, price action went from balanced to imbalanced by exploding to the upside. This bullish price action filled all of the sell orders and broke past the previous area of supply. Because price moved up so fast, the buy orders did not get a chance to fill, essentially leaving an area with a high concentration of buy orders remaining. Hence, a new demand zone is formed which is shown here .
Our state-of-the-art indicator automatically scans for these historical shifts in price action (balanced to imbalanced) via our supply and demand zone detection formula, and displays them on your chart instantly. Remember the first image sent of blank price action? Here it is below:
The image below shows the exact same chart of ES, however, our advanced Professional Zones - Institutional Demand and Supply Imbalances indicator has been applied to the chart.
Just like that, price action has been transformed from unexplainable chaos to an orderly sequence of demand bounces and supply rejections.
Yes, all of these zones may be charted manually if one were to acquire the knowledge required to chart them by hand, and spend numerous hours going back in time to find all these zones. Additionally, these charts would then have to be constantly monitored and updated, which would require hours of work each day. This powerful indicator automates all of that work to give you more precious time to analyze and trade these zone-driven pivots in the markets.
How To Measure the Strength of Supply and Demand Zones?
The longer the consolidation takes place, the larger the demand/ supply zone will be. This strength is measured by the time frame of the origin of the zone.
Each zone may be formed on a different time frame, the biggest being the 1 Month time frame, and the smallest being the 30 Minute. Each supply and demand zone is automatically labeled based on the time frame from which the zone originated.
The weakest zones are derived from the 30 minute time frame. This means the zone only took two 30 minute candles to form, which is not a lot of time for institutions to place large orders. This means that the bounces and rejections off of these zones will usually be smaller, and usually won’t last more than a few days.
Larger zones such as 1 Day, 1 Week, and 1 Month often cause large swings in the market lasting weeks, months and even years. So pay attention not just to where the demand and supply zones currently appear, but also to the strength of that zone. You can see below that the demand zone that the market bottomed in and reversed out of in 2022 was in fact, a very strong weekly zone.
What is the Significance of Supply and Demand Zone Breaks?
These zones are order-based. This means that a supply zone level doesn’t turn into demand when price action breaks above it, and demand doesn’t turn into supply when price action breaks below it. It is unlike standard trend-based support and resistance levels. If price action breaks below demand by even $0. 01 , all of the buy orders have been filled and the demand must be deleted from the chart (and vice versa for a supply zone ).
While it is possible to play these zone breaks as continuation plays off of current momentous price action, it is unpredictable how far price will go up or down after breaking supply or demand during that leg.
However, in my years of supply and demand experience, I have noticed that if demand breaks, the market will eventually come down to the next viable demand zone . This is because without a pivot caused by an institutional-created demand or supply imbalance, there is often not enough participation to cause a sustainable trend reversal for a long period of time. Below is an example of this:
Above is the 4 Hour chart of TSLA bouncing up off of a demand zone . We call this a bounce in “no man's land”, as there is no major demand bounce to support this reversal to the upside. So in theory, price action should return lower to the next major historical zone of demand before it has a chance of pulling off a solid reversal. Here is what happened:
As you can see above, TSLA did indeed end up heading back down into the next major demand zone before getting a sustainable reversal to the upside. So you may play these supply and demand zone breaks as continuation trades, either long or short, with a price target at the next major zone. Just make sure to use proper risk management and position sizing, as timing the trigger of a price target can be difficult.
How Might I Place a Trade Using the Indicator?
Now that the basics of institutional supply and demand zones have been discussed, there will come a time that this strategy must be actively applied to personal trading with a goal of becoming profitable. Here is a step-by-step process to place a trade using supply and demand paired with an example of a day trade from the 1 minute time frame.
Step 1: Find a highly institutionally traded stock that is currently in supply or demand as shown by our indicator. For example, AAPL:
Step 2: Look for an above-average (exaggerated) volume spike. Because we are in one of the green zones at the bottom of the chart, we know that we are in demand where large institutional buy orders reside. We need to wait for some of these orders to actually fill before we take our trade. This is known as volume confirmation. The color of the volume usually does not matter in this situation.
Step 3: Now that we have a volume spike which is confirmation of large orders being filled, we need more confirmation that the institutional orders are not only a buy, but large enough to actually reverse the current trend.
This is ultimately a judgment call. A few green candles may be good enough to dictate a reversal, or a trend break. It comes down to personal preference and how aggressive you would like to be. Keep in mind, the longer you wait, the more confirmation your trade has, but also, the longer you wait, the greater the risk of missing the new trend. In this example, we will use a trend line to confirm our trend reversal.
Step 4: Enter the trade. Now that you have proper demand confirmation, you may place your trade. Be sure to determine your stop loss, price target, position size, and all other risk management factors along the way.
In this example, AAPL ran all the way up to supply before rejecting; making for a perfect demand to supply call trade. Also, more short trade entries could have been taken based off of the multiple supply rejections AAPL had.
The Bottom Line
There are many ways one may go about trading the stock market. However in my years of trading and teaching, there has never been a strategy that has not only changed my career, but improved the trading careers of my students, more dramatically than Institutional Zones of Demand and Supply Imbalances.
Though charting new zones and deleting broken ones everyday was time consuming and repetitive, the results of trading these zones made it well-worth the hours of charting. However, after months of development and fine-tuning, the painful charting process has been automated by this powerful indicator, completely replacing the tedious charting work for myself and my students.
While numerous other indicators include the name “Supply and Demand Zones”, we believe that no supply and demand indicator remotely this advanced and accurate available on TradingView. I am very blessed to finally bring this revolutionary tool to the market.
Introduction to the Aurora Demand and Supply Indicator for TradingView and its Functionality
This page is dedicated to providing a thorough walk-through of our Professional Zones - Institutional Demand and Supply Imbalances indicator. The settings functionality, customizability, and purpose will be discussed to give you an in-depth understanding of the indicator. Understanding the purpose of the different functions and settings is crucial to utilizing this powerful tool at its full potential.
First Look Upon Indicator Addition
After purchasing the indicator, your chart may initially appear cluttered, zoomed out, and hard to read. But do not worry, it just means the indicator settings must be fine-tuned to optimize your experience. Tt may appear overwhelming. However this page will discuss each major customizable setting and the functionality behind it to streamline your TradingView set up.
Filter Options Settings Category
This is the first customizable feature that appears when accessing the settings of the indicator. What Filter Zone Ranges does is allow you to filter the range at which zones appear both above and below the current asset price. With this setting unchecked, every single demand and supply zone within the 5k candle limit (or 20k limit if you have a premium TradingView account) will appear on your chart. This causes chart clutter which limits the visibility of price action.
If you have this setting activated, you can choose exactly the range of zones visible to you. This range is percent based and is measured both above and below the current market price. For example, if you activate Filter Zone Ranges and set the Filter Percentage at 7%, only zones within the range of 7% above, and 7% below the current asset price will be shown.
Demand/ Supply Zone Options Settings Category
The next two categories contain the majority of the customizability for supply and demand zones. The first option in both the Demand/ Supply Zone Options is Create Demand/Supply Zones. This toggle is very straight forward, you may choose whether or not to display all demand zones, or all supply zones.
The next two options are Demand/ Supply Zone Border and Demand/ Supply Zone Fill. Again, these are straight forward. The border setting allows you to edit both the color and opacity of the zones’ border lines. The fill setting allows you to edit the color and opacity of the interior of the supply/demand boxes.
Following the first pair of visual settings, you will see Demand/ Supply Zone Box Offset. This allows you to toggle how much the indicator offsets each zone from its origin point. In other words, move it to the left or right from the point in time at which the zone was created. The 0 offset is the base setting which is actually a slight offset to the right of the origin point to ensure that the candlesticks remain unobstructed visually.
After the offset options, you will find Demand/ Supply Zone ERC Multiple. This is a key setting which inputs the value our formula utilizes to scan the areas of institutional supply and demand imbalances. Unless you are extremely experienced with supply and demand analysis or you are running backtesting, it is highly recommended this value is left at ‘2’ for both the demand and supply options.
The next two options you will see in your indicator settings are Extend Demand/ Supply Zone and Demand/ Supply Zone Size. This feature allows you to customize exactly how far your zones will extend from the point of origin into the future.
The three options on the drop down menu are Extend, Fixed, and Dynamic. Each of these options extend your zones in a different fashion. It is important to note that the value inputted in the size option is the amount of units the zones will extend to the right for both Fixed and Dynamic options. The larger this input is, the further out the zones will extend into the future, and vice versa.
The final setting in the Demand/ Supply Zone Options category is Broken Zones to Keep and Broken Demand/ Supply Zone Fill. The Broken Zones to Keep input allows you to see recent supply or demand zones that have been broken and deleted from your chart. This may be useful for a trader in a few different ways. The Broken Demand/ Supply Zone Fill setting allows you to customize the number of broken zones displayed as well as their color and opacity. The most prominent example of this option’s utility is for traders that do not observe price action during the entirety of the market open.
If an individual left their charts for a few hours and missed a demand break, it may give the illusion that there was never a demand there and price action has been in “no-man's land” all day. However if that individual inputted ‘1’ in the Broken Zones to Keep setting, they would be able to see that a demand has broken. This may be useful as the trader may have an altered sentiment after knowing that a zone did in fact break.
Note: the value inputted is the amount of previously broken zones that will appear on your chart. For example, if the value ‘3’ is inputted, the three most recently broken zones will appear on your chart.
Time Frame Options Settings Category
Time Frame Options Settings allows you to toggle which supply and demand zones appear on your chart by time frame. For example, if you are analyzing a chart on a larger time frame such as the daily or weekly, the small 30 minute and 45 minute zones will often clutter your chart. By deselecting the weaker and smaller time frame zones, it will clean your chart up, allowing you to only see the zones that assist your analysis.
However the first two options in the category are unique.The first is Show Forming Zones. This option is extremely useful if you are watching price action play out live, when seeing the possibility of a supply or demand zone forming may be of benefit during your day trading. By toggling this setting ON, you will see all possible supply and demand zones forming in real time. However, this could cause clutter if multiple zones are forming at once in which case, toggling it off may be more beneficial.
The second option in the Timeframe Options category is the Show Zones Inside toggle, which controls the table at the top right of your screen (you may get rid of this table by deselecting tables in display settings).
This setting simply is a “yes” or “no” as to whether or not the table located at the top right of your screen will display the number of zones price action is currently sitting in. This setting is useful as zones may sometimes pile up on top of one another, making it hard to know exactly how many zones price action is currently sitting in.
Gap Options Settings Category
Just below the Timeframe Options category, is the Gap Options category. Gaps appear when two daily candles highs and lows do not overlap. These are often created when a catalyst is released into the market overnight causing a large move, resulting in a “gap” up or down the next morning.
A Gap often forms due to a strong move to the upside, and the indicator highlights this gap with a gray box. Gaps are important to many traders as there is often a large lack of liquidity inside the gap area, which often acts as a magnet that attracts future price action to fill it. If toggled on, the indicator displays the gap among the supply and demand zones seamlessly. The rest of the settings for this category are options to customize the color, opacity, size, and offset. These have the same effect as the options in the Demand/ Supply Zone Options category.
Text Options Settings Category
The final category in the indicator input settings is Text Options. This category allows you to toggle zone labeling on or off, and to specify how you would like the zone labels to appear. It’s strongly recommended that zone labeling is left ON because knowing the time frame a supply or demand zone originated from is a massive indicator of its strength. Top right alignment causes labeling such as “3H” to appear at the top right of each zone.
Indicator Data Limitations
There are a few limitations of TradingView which impact the Professional Zones - Institutional Supply and Demand Imbalances indicator. The first is the data TradingView provides to its users. With a basic TradingView account, a user only has access to 5,000 candles of data. So if a user is on the 1 minute time frame, that user can only see 5,000 candles before that current point. This is important because our advanced indicator scans historical price action that has formed supply and demand zones and displays it on your chart. This means that if a user is on a 1 minute time frame chart, they will only be able to see zones formed within the last 5,000 candles. Older supply and demand zones can not be displayed. However if a user has the Premium TradingView subscription, they can access up to 20,000 candles, which greatly increases the potential zones the user may see on the smaller time frames.
To counter this, we strongly recommend checking the larger time frames before starting your trading day, as there could be an old zone lurking behind the scenes. Once you spot it on the 30 minute time frame, for example, you may easily take note of the demand zone and its location.
The Bottom Line
This indicator has been intricately and powerfully designed to not only display institutional supply and demand imbalances more accurately and efficiently than any other TradingView indicator, but it has also been designed to give the user full control. Full control means the user has the ability to customize the appearance and inputs, as well as toggle specific objects visible to the trader.
We have meticulously designed the Professional Zones - Institutional Supply and Demand Imbalances indicator to be extremely valuable as a stand-alone strategy, as well as versatile enough to incorporate multiple other trading strategies on top of supply and demand .
However, in order for this indicator to be utilized by you at its full potential, it is important that you understand all of its features, capabilities and configuration options before you dive into trading.
RSI Effective Volume Reversal IndicatorAbout The Indicator
I want to start with a few short paragraphs of how this indicator came to be and why it's different than 80% of the indicators on this platform. If you are just interested in how the indicator works, you can skip the story, although I recommend at least skimming through it.
Originally, this indicator was developed to be part of a trend-trading strategy that analyzed the three main components - Price , Volume and Strength . It was broken down to 2 indicators - on-chart and off-chart, similarly to my first premium indicator "Trend Indicator for Directional Trading". Despite the similar concept, the current one is miles ahead in almost any regard.
As most of you know, strategies (especially the really good ones) are fairly more complex to use and navigate. You need to input the parameters for generating and tweaking the indicator, then you need to enter your risk management parameters like stop loss, position size, etc. and finally you need to set the exit criteria, like specified percent target, trial stop or an indicator condition. So, what was supposed to be a simple strategy that anyone can use and make money with, turned out to be a very complex one with over 20 parameters to tweak. I know from experience that when it comes to trading, less is more. This is especially true for the indicators.
As a result, I decided to split the project into two separate strategies - one for trend/directional trading and one for volume and strength (the one you are looking at right now). The problem was that as a standalone strategy it didn't perform all that well. And it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who has been trading long enough - divergences are one of the biggest tricksters there are - easy to identify only in hindsight. They are the new-trader's doom. I lost a decent amount of money chasing tops and bottoms through divergences and for that reason it's always been somewhat a goal of mine to create an indicator that can assist in this conquest (call it a personal vendetta). This indicator comes as close as I've ever been to this goal.
Right, but I just said a few lines above that this indicator doesn't work that well for divergences? That's true, but only if you completely automate it and let it buy every bullish and sell every bearish divergence. I have extensively tested it on the securities I actively trade (SPX500, Crude Oil, Gas, Gold, Copper) and with the right settings it does generate positive return (what strategy wouldn't with enough optimization, right?), but I would have made so much more money if I didn't fight the trend.
So, I decided to do something else - convert the strategy back to an indicator and use it for discretional trading in which it assists (not explicitly tell) me in making the decisions. And oh boy, did I hit the sweet spot there! It has been notoriously difficult for most scripts and indicators to identify proper support and resistance levels or at least not nearly as good as the human eye can do. This is especially the case with ascending and descending channels. Seeing how well it worked in helping me open longs and shorts at key levels, I decided to strip it from all unnecessary features and simplify the interface for easier navigation (about 300 lines of code less). This brings me to my next point.
How Does It Work?
The indicator relies on two main components in order to identify reversals - RSI module and Effective Volume module, hence the name RSI Effective Volume Reversal Indicator (not very creative, I know). You select which one you want to display via the dropdown menu. Now let me outline how each one works.
RSI module (top) - similarly to the traditional RSI, it is bound between 0 and 100. Oversold area is marked in green (15-25) and overbought area is marked in red (75-85). You can change those as you please, but I found those to be the perfect spots for identifying potential opportunities. This is where the similarities end. As you've noticed, it's not nearly as choppy as the traditional RSI, just the opposite - it's rather smooth, resembling Heikin-Ashi candles. Further, the way the candle is formed can indicate if we are approaching a top or bottom and if you should be looking for an opportunity to open a trade against the trend. Believe it or not, I've been developing and using this indicator for the past 6 months, so there's a lot to be said about the formation of those candles with clear examples, but I will leave those for the guide book that comes along with each purchase/subscription.
Effective Volume (bottom) - As I already have developed quite an extensive indicator that utilizes the effective volume profile, I just grabbed certain elements from it, simplified it and smoothed it via a new custom-made moving average along with some other minor updates. The results from RSI and Effective Volume may seem quite similar, but they actually reveal slightly different information and can be used to complement each other. In terms of coloring - green gradient above 50 and red gradient below 50.
What To Expect
It's important to understand that technical analysis does not predict prices. I am not claiming this indicator to be the crystal ball that will tell you when to long or short with max leverage. All I am saying is that it's a pretty good tool to help you time your trades, show real exhaustion of trends and reveal when a new direction is forming.
This indicator has been, and most likely will continue to be, work in progress. I've been experimenting with tons of features to make it better for the past 6 months and I finally believe it is stable and beneficial enough in order for you to use it. There's always something more that I would like to add and/or change, but I know that if I continue digging and improving, the indicator would have never seen the light of day. That's why I want to add the critical component to it - you. Through your feedback and recommendations, I believe we can make this indicator truly a masterpiece.
With that being said, I do have some future improvements planned, which I will be releasing on the go. Some are major, like updating it to v.5 and adding new features that are only available to the newest version of PineScript, while others are minor, such as color variations and more one-click customizations.
I hope I managed to portray an objective picture (with reasonable amount of words) of something that I've put a lot of work into, so that you can successfully use and make even more money on the markets. Once again, each purchase/subscription of this indicator comes with a guide in which I go into great detail explaining how to use the indicator, so rest assured that you will be able to take full advantage of it.
Mayfair Volume Stochastic 1.0This indicator takes some of the simple tools such as RSI and Stochastic, and provides information of the macro picture for both trending and non-trending markets;
The Relative Strength Index part of the indicator is standard and is used in technical analysis that ranges between zero and one (or zero and 100 on some charting platforms.
This indicator has the ability to change between multiple settings; Elders Force Index, Money Flow Index, On Balance Volume & Price Volume Trend.
The Stochastic part is measuring not only the conventional Stochastic K – but also the accumulation/distribution and this is used with the volume bars at the bottom.
All are uniquely combined to give “False bar” signals when certain criteria is met – this is visualised by the Green turning Red on the upper and lower boundaries of the indicator. When Red, the trend is false, when green the trend is trending.
It’s a unique view of the market, confirmation of trend (false or not) inclusive of the volume profile across the bottom. Colour set to Red (Bearish), Green (Bullish) and Grey is undecisive volume.
VWAP OscillatorToday I'm proposing a simple VWAP oscillator script to trade buy and sell waves more easily.
You trade this similar to how you trade Awesome Oscillator, so if you want an explanation just look up YT videos.
In addition to that, this will also show volume squeezes, please note that this is a makeshift way and not real volume squeeze phenomena of volume profile and tape. None the less, it is quite good at allowing you to ride out good trending waves and locate weak price action due to volume squeeze. You can turn off bar coloring from settings if you don't want this.
For ease of reading, I've also applied Allenstars Dynamic zones on this indicator so you can easily locate where the reading is entering in long and where it is in sell, this is compared to selected sample size. I've already selected the most common setting for that, so you don't really need to fiddle with it unless you find something better.
This indicator can be used to trade divergences as well, in fact, I feel it is better for that compared to RSI/MACD, the usual suspects.
Past performance is not assurance of future performance and this idea is published for only educational purposes, author taken no responsibility for your profit or loss.
Pre-Market Volume ProfileThis indicator displays the pre-market volume (note: without the post-market of the previous day).
Unusual pre-market volume often indicates that institutional market makers are moving the market, which is a good sign for unusual high price movement.
The indicator helps me to spot stocks, if a pre-market gap is confirmed with enough (unusual) volume.
You can define, what "unusual" means by you, by adjusting the SMA length and the SMA multiplier.
The default is a length of 21 bars and a 2.5 multiplier, meaning I'm interested in a stock, if the pre-market volume exceeds the average pre-market volume by 2.5 times.
LONG MICRO-VOLUMES 3.0This script - when plotted below the chart - shows most important LONG VOLUMES during the sessions.
Volumes often anticipates turning points and/or show important support levels.
My advice is to plot volume profile too, to complete the view.
The script works with stocks, etf , commodities , futures , forex, spreads.
I use to trade with this tool looking at different time-frames in the same moment.
SHORT MICRO-VOLUMES 2.0This script - plotted on a panel above the chart - shows most important SHORT VOLUMES during the sessions.
Volumes often anticipates turning points and/or show important resistance levels.
My advice is to plot volume profile too, to complete the view.
The script works with stocks, etf , commodities , futures , forex, spreads.

PpSignal Volume Profilethis indicator shows us the strength of the volume. green is buy signal an orange is sell signal.
The yellow signal is the net volueme. Net volume is a technical indicator calculated by subtracting a security's uptick volume by its downtick volume over a specified period of time.
when the volume buy is greater than the volume of sell the background change to aqua color. When the sell volume is greater than the buy volume, the background is painted orange ...
Angled Volume Profile [feeble]BETA VERSION
this indicator maps volume as brightness over an SMA. the brightness then fades over time.
It draws 30 bands, so you will need to load multiple instances to get a large picture.
Configure the settings, then copy and paste the indicator, modifying only the vertOffset attribute each time
Patience, bruh. This takes a long time load. Chrome runs it faster than Firefox. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Please let me know if you can think of how to optimize it.
Feedback is appreciated is you use it :)
sample with 6 instances:
settings:
useLog: enable if you are using a log graph
rowHeight: resolution of rows.
vertOffset: normally if you have 5 instances, the values will be -2,-1,0,1,2
fadeAmt: how long it takes for volume to fade once it is picked up
volumeMin and Max: the volume range displayed.
volumeResolution: time resolution at which volume data is collected - this is why the fadeAmt is so high, and why the graph runs out of data after a period back
EMA length: its Actually SMA but I wrote it wrong. eg. for a 20 day period on a 15min chart you go ( 20 days x 24 hrs x 4 quarter hours = 1920) - I hope to automate this in a future version :p
FHX Bands (VWMA BB)This study is an optimized version of Bollinger Bands based on volume weighted data points: more volume on a bar gives those prices a higher impact. FHX bands base on the assumptions of auction market theory (e.g., as does volume profiling). Bollinger Bands implicitly assume a uniform probability mass function for data points and consider only the - somewhat arbitrary - close price. In contrast to this, FHX bands take all four available data points into account (OHLC) and use the volume at each candle* to define a probability mass function in order to compute mean and standard deviation.
As an indicator, FHX bands could be used in the same way as BB to facilitate or confirm Break-Out trades and identify strong momentum moves. Settings for the standard deviation multiplier should be interpreted as follows (following the 68–95–99.7 rule):
x standard deviation set to 1: ~32% chance that a move outside the bands is by chance
x standard deviation set to 2: ~5% chance that a move outside the bands is by chance
x standard deviation set to 3: ~0.3% chance that a move outside the bands is by chance
This however assumes a fairly solid period of consolidation beforehand (visible through notable contraction of the bands) and a normal distribution of values within that consolidation period. Therefore users need to experiment within their time frame in order to identify a Length setting that suits their needs. Personally, I set Length to 21 or lower, depending on my targeted time frame. Note that the indicator does not test for normality in any way; you can, however, use a quick visual test using the fixed range volume profile indicator to increase its reliability.
Good luck and mind your risk

It doesn't just show you "data"; it projects actionable, high-probability ENTRY ZONES directly onto your chart.
💎 WHY THIS IS DIFFERENT (The Unfair Advantage)
Most indicators clutter your screen. TITAN gives you clarity. It applies a "Triple Confluence Algorithm" (Market Structure + Volume POC + Fibonacci) to filter out noise and leave you with only the highest quality setups.
🔥 KEY FEATURES:
🎯 Zero Analysis Required: The algorithm automatically identifies Supply & Demand zones. You don't have to draw a single box.
🛡️ The "SAFE STRIP" Technology: Inside every zone, TITAN highlights the inner "Safe Strip" (the optimal 25%). This tells you exactly where to place your limit order for maximum precision and zero drawdown.
⚡ Surgical "Auto-Clean": The code is strict. If a candle wick invalidates a zone, TITAN instantly removes it. No confusion, no old levels. Only fresh, tradable zones.
🧠 Automated Confluence: A zone only turns BLUE (Buy) or RED (Sell) when the Asian Strategy, Fibonacci Golden Zone, and Volume Profile align.
This is the closest you will get to having a professional analyst sitting next to you 24/7.
👉 Unlock your edge. Let TITAN find the trade.

Pivot Move Ranges█ OVERVIEW
“Pivot Move Ranges” is an indicator that displays only the historical price ranges of moves that match the direction of the current swing.
It measures the price range of each individual swing and draws them as horizontal Δ-boxes positioned at the level of the most recently detected pivot.
The indicator operates with a delay equal to the set pivot detection length – after each new Pivot High, only red Δ-boxes appear showing the sizes of previous downward moves; after each new Pivot Low, only green Δ-boxes appear showing the sizes of previous upward moves. When the swing direction changes, the displayed set of levels instantly switches to the opposite direction.
█ CONCEPTS
The indicator was created to instantly provide the trader with objective, real historical price ranges – perfectly reinforcing classic tools such as Fibonacci extension/retracement, daily/weekly pivots, moving averages, order blocks, or Volume Profile.
It detects classic Pivot High and Pivot Low points:
- New Pivot High → only previous downward moves are shown (red Δ-boxes)
- New Pivot Low → only previous upward moves are shown (green Δ-boxes)
This ensures that at any moment you see only the historical ranges that match the current market direction. Price moves very often repeat themselves – the indicator makes these recurring levels immediately visible and ready to serve as natural reinforcement for other technical analysis tools.
█ FEATURES
- Pivot High / Pivot Low detection with adjustable length (default 12)
- Δ-boxes – thin horizontal lines showing the exact size of previous moves that match the current swing
- Automatic switching of the Δ-box set whenever a new opposite pivot appears
- Memory of the last N moves (default 6, max. 50) – oldest are automatically removed
- Labels showing move size (Δ) and start date/time
- Full color customization (separate for up and down), border and text transparency
- Choice of date format (DD.MM.YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY)
- Small circles marking the exact pivot locations
█ HOW TO USE
Add the indicator to your TradingView chart → paste the code → Add to Chart.
Settings:
- Pivot Length – higher values = fewer but more significant pivots (detected with a delay equal to this length)
- Max Corrections to Keep – how many previous matching moves are displayed at once
- Upward / Downward Box Color – colors of the Δ-boxes
- Box Border Transparency (%) – 0 = solid lines, 50–70 = subtle
- Show Δ Text + Move Start Date – turn labels on/off
Interpretation:
At any given moment the chart shows only the historical ranges of moves in the current direction:
- after a Pivot High → red Δ-boxes = “how far the market previously fell”
- after a Pivot Low → green Δ-boxes = “how far the market previously rose”
█ APPLICATIONS
- Instant reinforcement of technical levels – historical moves matching the current swing direction often coincide with Fibonacci levels, daily/weekly pivots, moving averages, or order blocks
- Fast cluster detection – set a high Max Corrections value (30–50) to see where the largest number of similarly sized moves cluster, then reduce to 6–10 and focus only on the most recent levels
█ NOTES
- On very strong trends, Δ-boxes can be extremely long – this is normal and correct behavior
- Always use as a supporting layer alongside other technical analysis tools
Filter Trend1. Indicator Name
Premium EMA Ribbon Filter (Pro Version)
(Advanced Trend & Momentum Filtering System Based on EMA Ribbons)
2. One-Line Introduction
A professional trend-analysis indicator that blends an advanced noise-filtering algorithm with an EMA ribbon system to extract only the pure bullish/bearish trend while smoothing out market noise.
3. Overall Description (7+ lines)
The Premium EMA Ribbon Filter is more than just a set of EMAs.
It analyzes the structure of a fast, medium, and slow EMA ribbon—along with the spacing and alignment between them—to determine whether the market is in a bullish trend, bearish trend, or a neutral/noise-heavy zone.
The core of this indicator is its noise-reduction algorithm and trend-strength calculation system.
Instead of relying on simple EMA cross signals, it evaluates how consistently the ribbon maintains bullish/bearish alignment over a specified period and highlights only strong trends with color coding, while weak or noisy areas are displayed in gray.
This helps traders avoid confusing or false signals and clearly focus only on the “meaningful zones.”
A Triple-Smoothing System is applied to create smoother, more refined ribbon movements, forming a stable “premium trend curve” that is less affected by short-term volatility.
As a result, this indicator works effectively for scalping, swing trading, and long-term trend following—staying true to the principle of removing noise and highlighting only the core market flow.
4. Short Advantages (6 items)
① Complete Noise Filtering
Using EMA ribbon comparison + tolerance logic, false reversals are largely eliminated, leaving only stable trend phases.
② Highly Readable Color System
Bullish trends are mint, bearish trends are red, and neutral/noise zones are gray—instantly visualizing market conditions.
③ Trend Strength Visualization
Not only trend direction but also trend strength is displayed via dynamic color transparency.
④ Smooth, Premium-Style Ribbon Design
Triple-smoothing creates a refined, luxury-level smoothness in movement.
⑤ Works Across All Timeframes
From 1-minute scalping to daily/weekly macro trend analysis.
⑥ Excellent Real-Trading Compatibility
Works extremely well when combined with ATR, SuperTrend, and volume-based indicators.
Indicator Manual (Required Section)
📌 Understanding the Core Concept
The indicator uses three EMAs (e.g., 20/50/100) arranged as a ribbon to analyze the structural alignment of the trend.
When the EMAs are cleanly aligned Top → Middle → Bottom, the market is in a bullish trend.
When aligned Bottom → Middle → Top, the market is in a bearish trend.
The indicator further evaluates the ribbon spread (gap) and the consistency of alignment to compute trend strength.
Noisy market conditions are shaded gray to clearly indicate “uncertain/indecisive” zones.
⚙️ Settings Description
Option Description
Fast EMA Most sensitive EMA; detects early trend signals
Mid EMA Stabilizes the primary trend direction
Slow EMA Defines the broader, long-term trend flow
Trend Lookback The period used to analyze trend strength
Noise Tolerance (%) Higher values = stronger noise removal
Smoothing Steps Controls how smooth the ribbon becomes
📈 Example Recognition
A bullish continuation/entry scenario forms when:
EMAs align in the order Fast → Mid → Slow (top side)
Ribbon color shifts into mint (strong bullish trend)
The ribbon begins to expand while price stays above the ribbon
📉 Example Recognition
A bearish continuation/entry occurs when:
EMAs align Fast → Mid → Slow (bottom side)
Ribbon color remains red
After contracting, the ribbon expands again during renewed downside strength
🧪 Recommended Usage
Combine with volume-based indicators (OBV, Volume Profile) → enhanced strong-trend detection
Use with SuperTrend or ATR Stop → clearer stop-loss placement
Combine with RSI/Stoch → avoid counter-trend entries in overheated conditions
Higher leverage traders should use higher tolerance settings
🔒 Cautions
EMA ribbons are trend-following tools; signals may weaken in ranging/sideways markets.
Never rely solely on this indicator—always confirm with volume, price patterns, or structure.
Very low Lookback values may cause excessive re-entry signals.
In high-volatility environments, ribbon spacing can contract/expand rapidly—use with caution.
DeltaFlow Volume Dr.Ryan [Beluga Port]This is a delta volume profile copy I have made for tracking volume flow.
Energy Meter (Candle Range/ATR Ratio)Purpose:
This indicator is a simple, intuitive way to visualize auction energy — the actual force behind a price move — rather than just its appearance on the chart. It’s built on a single idea:
If a bar travels farther than normal in its fixed amount of time, something pushed harder than usual.
That “push” is auction energy, and it’s the raw material of microstructure inference: reading intent and imbalance from nothing more than candles, tempo, and volatility.
Traditional indicators focus on price patterns or volume. This one focuses on pressure — the underlying imbalance driving each bar.
How It Works
Each bar’s True Range is divided by its ATR, producing a normalized ratio:
1.0 = Average energy
>1.2 (default) = Above-normal energy
<1.0 = Quiet, low-pressure bars
This ratio is plotted as a histogram to highlight bursts of force, with a smoothed line added to show the tempo of recent energy changes.
When the histogram spikes, you’re seeing the auction flash its teeth: aggression, initiative, failed absorption, breakout ignition, or the first punch of a reversal.
When the line rolls over, you’re seeing the engine lose torque.
It’s a minimalist tool for seeing who is actually winning the auction, even when price looks deceptively calm.
Why It Matters
Price moves because of imbalance, not geometry. Two candles that look identical can represent completely different internal dynamics.
This indicator helps you see:
Breakout strength vs. fakeouts
Acceleration vs. drift
Exhaustion after extended runs
Reversal attempts with real intent
Quiet absorption before explosive moves
Shifts in aggression hidden inside consolidation
For new traders, it’s a clean introduction to microstructure inference — extracting meaningful order-flow insights without needing L2, DOM, or volume profile.
For experienced traders, it's a compact impulse detector that complements trend, volatility, and liquidity models.
Summary
This is a lightweight, first-principles tool designed to expose the energy signature of the auction: how hard the market is trying to go somewhere.
It doesn’t predict direction — it reveals pressure, so you can judge the quality of the move you’re trading.
Energy beats geometry.
Intent beats patterns.
Microstructure is hiding in every candle; this indicator makes it visible.
MA SMART Angle
### 📊 WHAT IS MA SMART ANGLE?
**MA SMART Angle** is an advanced momentum and trend detection indicator that analyzes the angles (slopes) of multiple moving averages to generate clear, non-repainting BUY and SELL signals.
**Original Concept Credit:** This indicator builds upon the "MA Angles" concept originally created by **JD** (also known as Duyck). The core angle calculation methodology and Jurik Moving Average (JMA) implementation by **Everget** are preserved from the original open-source work. The angle calculation formula was contributed by **KyJ**. This enhanced version is published with respect to the open-source nature of the original indicator.
Original indicator reference: "ma angles - JD" by Duyck
---
## 🎯 ORIGINALITY & VALUE PROPOSITION
### **What Makes This Different from the Original:**
While the original "MA Angles" by **JD** provided excellent angle visualization, it lacked actionable entry signals. **MA SMART Angle** addresses this by adding:
**1. Clear Entry/Exit Signals**
- Explicit BUY/SELL arrows based on angle crossovers, momentum confirmation, and MA alignment
- No guessing when to enter trades - the indicator tells you exactly when conditions align
**2. Non-Repainting Logic**
- All signals use confirmed historical data (shifted by 2 bars minimum)
- Critical for backtesting reliability and live trading confidence
- Original indicator could repaint signals on current bar
**3. Dual Signal System**
- **Simple Mode:** More frequent signals based on angle crossovers + momentum (for active traders)
- **Strict Mode:** Requires full multi-MA alignment + momentum confirmation (for conservative traders)
- Adaptable to different trading styles and risk tolerances
**4. Smart Signal Filtering**
- **Anti-spam cooldown:** Prevents duplicate signals within configurable bar count
- **No-trade zone detection:** Filters out low-conviction sideways markets automatically
- **Multi-timeframe MA alignment:** Ensures all moving averages agree on direction before signaling
**5. Enhanced Visualization**
- Large, clear BUY/SELL arrows with descriptive labels
- Color-coded backgrounds for market states (trending vs. ranging)
- Momentum histogram showing acceleration/deceleration in real-time
- Live status table displaying trend strength, angle value, momentum, and MA alignment
**6. Professional Alert System**
- Four distinct alert conditions: BUY Signal, SELL Signal, Strong BUY, Strong SELL
- Enables automated trade notifications and strategy integration
**7. Modified MA Periods**
- Original used EMA(27), EMA(83), EMA(278)
- Enhanced version uses faster EMA(3), EMA(8), EMA(13) for more responsive signals
- Better suited for modern volatile markets and shorter timeframes
---
## 📐 HOW IT WORKS - TECHNICAL EXPLANATION
### **Core Methodology:**
The indicator calculates angles (slopes) for five key moving averages:
- **JMA (Jurik Moving Average)** - Smooth, lag-reduced trend line (original implementation by **Everget**)
- **JMA Fast** - Responsive momentum indicator with higher power parameter
- **MA27 (EMA 3)** - Primary fast-moving average for signal generation
- **MA83 (EMA 8)** - Medium-term trend confirmation
- **MA278 (EMA 13)** - Slower trend filter
### **Angle Calculation Formula (by KyJ):**
```
angle = arctan((MA - MA ) / ATR(14)) × (180 / π)
```
**Why ATR normalization?**
- Makes angles comparable across different instruments (forex, stocks, crypto)
- Makes angles comparable across different timeframes
- Accounts for volatility - a 10-point move in different assets has different significance
**Angle Interpretation:**
- **> 15°** = Strong trend (momentum accelerating)
- **0° to 15°** = Weak trend (momentum present but moderate)
- **-2° to +2°** = No-trade zone (sideways/choppy market)
- **< -15°** = Strong downtrend
### **Signal Generation Logic:**
#### **BUY Signal Conditions:**
1. MA27 angle crosses above 0° (upward momentum initiates)
2. All three EMAs (3, 8, 13) pointing upward (trend alignment confirmed)
3. Momentum is positive for 2+ bars (acceleration, not deceleration)
4. Angle exceeds minimum threshold (not in no-trade zone)
5. Cooldown period passed (prevents signal spam)
#### **SELL Signal Conditions:**
1. MA27 angle crosses below 0° (downward momentum initiates)
2. All three EMAs pointing downward (downtrend alignment)
3. Momentum is negative for 2+ bars
4. Angle below negative threshold (not in no-trade zone)
5. Cooldown period passed
#### **Strong BUY+ / SELL+ Signals:**
Additional entry opportunities when JMA Fast crosses JMA Slow while maintaining strong directional angle - indicates momentum acceleration within established trend.

VWAP CATS background flipped 4.0VWAP CATS Background Flipped 4.0 is a sophisticated Pine Script v5 indicator for TradingView that combines a configurable moving average (MA) with dynamic Gann Square of 9 levels to create a multi-layered background shading system for price action analysis. It visualizes support/resistance zones around a central MA (often VWAP or RVWAP) using incremental offsets (either % or absolute points), generating symmetrical bands that resemble a "CATS" (Concentric Adaptive Tiered System) — hence the name.The background is "flipped" in the sense that shading intensity and structure emphasize higher-tier zones, and labels are placed to the right of the chart for future projection.Key FeaturesFeature

Increase i_label_offset on lower timeframes to avoid overlap
Combine with volume profile or order flow for confluence
The "FV" label marks the Fair Value MA — core anchor
Summary"VWAP CATS Background Flipped 4.0" turns any moving average into a dynamic Gann-based pricing grid with intelligent background shading and forward-projected labels — perfect for institutional-style mean reversion, swing targeting, and risk-defined trading."
VWAP – Pivot Pairs (SECONDS‑BASED RESET)VWAP – Pivot Pairs (SECONDS-BASED RESET) is a Pine Script v6 indicator for TradingView that combines pivot-based breakout detection with resettable VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) calculations over user-defined rolling time periods in seconds.It identifies high and low swing pivots via breakout logic, then calculates two VWAP lines per anchor:One using high/low as the price source,
One using close as the price source.
These form "pivot pairs" that reset automatically at the start of each custom-duration period (e.g., every 300 seconds), starting from a user-defined UTC time of day (default: 09:30 UTC).Visuals include:Colored VWAP lines (high pair: red, low pair: green),
Semi-transparent fill zones between each pair,
Optional toggles to show/hide high or low pairs.
Use CasesUse Case
Description
Intraday Scalping (1–15 min charts)
Use 60–300 second resets to capture micro-trends within larger sessions. VWAP pairs act as dynamic support/resistance after breakouts.
High-Frequency / Algo Validation
Backtest strategies on tick/second charts where traditional session resets fail. Align resets with exchange micro-sessions or volatility windows.
Opening Range Breakout (ORB) Enhancement
Set period_seconds = 1800 (30 min) and start time = 09:30 UTC → VWAP builds only on first 30 mins post-open, then floats. Pairs show deviation from ORB mean.
Range-Bound Market Analysis
In choppy markets, VWAP pairs converge near fair value. Divergence signals potential breakout. Fill color intensity shows conviction.
Multi-Timeframe Confluence
Overlay on 1-second chart with 300s reset → matches 5-minute structure. Use close-based VWAP for entries, high/low-based for stops.

How It Works – Step-by-StepTime Engine Converts user inputs → milliseconds
Calculates current period start time using integer division from epoch
Detects exact bar when new period begins (new_period = true)
On New Period Resets both high/low anchors to current bar’s h and l
Forces VWAP recalculation from this bar forward
Breakout Detection Only triggers on strong candles (rising/falling, non-doji)
Requires open/close beyond prior pivot → avoids wicks-only breaks
VWAP Accumulation ta.vwap(source, reset_condition) restarts when anchor resets
Two sources per side → shows where volume clustered (at highs vs closes)
Plotting Four lines + two fills
Clean, customizable, overlay-friendly
Pro TipsUse on Heikin Ashi for smoother breakout signals.
Combine with volume profile to validate VWAP clusters.
For crypto, set period_start_time = 0 (00:00 UTC) for clean 4-hour resets.
Add alerts on new_period or breakingHigher for automation.
In short: This is a precision VWAP tool for time-boxed, pivot-driven mean reversion and breakout trading, ideal for scalpers, day traders, and algo developers needing sub-session granularity.
OutsiderEdge - Adaptive Node Efficiency Function (ANEF)Overview - What is ANEF?
ANEF is a zero-centered oscillator that blends price efficiency, effective volume around VWAP (node proximity), order-flow imbalance (uptick/downtick proxy), and returns volatility into a single, normalized score. The goal is to help you spot efficient breakouts and inefficient mean-reversions in a way that’s transparent, systematic, and easy to align with your own analysis.
Users can combine ANEF’s components to build rules such as: “ Only consider short breakout signals when trend context is bearish and the ANEF score pushes into the Efficient Zone ,” or “ Look for mean-reversion setups when the ANEF score sinks into the Inefficient Zone while trend context remains bullish. ”
While ANEF can stand on its own, it also works well as a secondary confirmation layer to a user’s primary process (volume profile, price action, S/R, market structure, or your preferred overlays).
🔹 FEATURES
Below is each ANEF component/feature in the order that typically leads to the most confluence.
ANEF Core (Normalized Score)
Combines a price change term with effective volume near VWAP and order-flow imbalance, scaled by volatility and normalized into a zero-centered oscillator.
Read it like a pressure gauge: high positive values = efficient upside impulse risk; deep negative values = inefficient pressure that often reverts.
Efficient & Inefficient Zones (Thresholds)
Two user-set levels (default ≥ +4.6 and ≤ −4.6) to quickly see when ANEF pushes into efficient breakout territory (top zone) or inefficient territory (bottom zone).
Thresholds are not overbought/oversold; they’re contextual “efficiency bands.”
2nd-Signal Confirmation (Optional)
An opt-in rule to ignore the first signal of a type and only print the second occurrence within X bars (default 6).
Reduces one-off noise without repainting or lookahead.
Trend Context (EMA-based Wave, Optional)
A lightweight EMA context that lets you filter signals (e.g., only show ▼ in downtrend, only show ▲ in uptrend).
The context is plotted as a sub-pane wave centered around zero so it doesn’t fight for price-panel space.
Clean Alerts (Raw & Confirmed)
Raw alerts fire at zone interactions.
Confirmed alerts respect the 2nd-signal rule and (optionally) the trend filter.
Price-Panel Markers (through force_overlay)
Even with the oscillator in a separate pane, ANEF can print mini markers on the main chart.
Useful to correlate impulses/reversions with structure, S/R, or higher-TF levels.
🔹 USAGE
In the examples below, you see chart snapshot with five labeled points of (in)efficiency breakouts.
ICMARKETS:UK100
Point 1 — Efficient Downside Breakout (▼)
ANEF surges into the Efficient Zone, indicating downside momentum that’s aligned with node volume/imbalance and volatility. Typical use: trend-following continuation, takeprofit on existing long or tightening risk on existing shorts (invalidations above recent structure).
Point 2 — Inefficient Upside Reversion (▲)
First rebound after the selloff with ANEF deep in the Inefficient Zone. Not an ideal long entry on its own, but a good management cue: take partial profits on shorts or tighten stops as an early confirmation that the drop may be exhausting.
Point 3, 4 and 5 — Inefficient Upside Reversion (▲)
Another 3x ▲ appears as price forms a higher low and ANEF prints a less extreme negative reading. With the “second-signal within X bars” option enabled, this becomes a more credible mean-reversion attempt. Possible long entries or takeprofits on existing shorts.

🔹 NAVIGATING MARKET CONDITIONS
Trending phases:
Expect more time in or near the zones in the trend direction.
Consider allowing only trend-aligned signals (filter ON) and using counter zone exits for trail/partials rather than counter-trend trades.
Ranging phases:
Expect frequent dips and surges into the (In)efficient Zones and back.
Counter-moves (▲ in range downs, ▼ in range ups) can be productive with tight invalidation and the 2nd-signal rule to reduce noise.
Regime shifts:
Watch for repeated failures of one side’s signals plus cross-pane confluence (e.g., context flips while ANEF re-anchors around zero).
That sequence often marks transitions where your rules should adapt (e.g., disable the trend filter temporarily or widen your 2nd-signal window).
🔹 SETTINGS SUMMARY
ANEF Core: lengthPrice, lengthVol, lengthVolat, imbalanceCap
Zones: Efficient (≥), Inefficient (≤)
Confirmation: Require 2nd signal, Lookahead bars
Trend Filter: Enable, EMA length, optional smoothing & “only show ▲/▼ with trend”
Chart Markers: Also show on main chart (force_overlay)
Alerts: Raw vs Confirmed (pick what suits your workflow)
🔹 GOOD PRACTICES
Treat signals as context cues, not as mechanical buy/sell calls. You can align ANEF with structure (S/R, HTF bias, LVN, HVN or POC) and risk management (partials on zone exit, invalidation beyond recent swing). Start with defaults; tweak parameters to match your market/TF.
🔹 LIMITATIONS / DISCLAIMER
ANEF does not use lookahead and does not repaint, but no indicator guarantees outcomes.
Thresholds are heuristics; markets can remain efficient/inefficient longer than expected.
Use appropriate position sizing and independent validation.
