Curved Trend Channels (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Curved Trend Channels (Zeiierman) is a next-generation trend visualization tool engineered to adapt dynamically to both linear and non-linear market behavior. It introduces a novel curvature-based channeling system that grows over time during trending conditions, mirroring the natural acceleration of price trends, while simultaneously leveraging adaptive range filtering and dual-layer candle trend logic.
This tool is ideal for traders seeking smooth yet reactive dynamic channels that evolve with market structure. Whether used in curved mode or traditional slope mode, it provides exceptional clarity on trend transitions, volatility compression, and breakout development.
█ How It Works
⚪ Adaptive Range Filter Foundation
The core of the system is a volatility-based range filter that determines the underlying structure of the bands:
Pre-Smoothing of High/Low Data – Highs and lows are smoothed using a selectable moving average (SMA, EMA, HMA, KAMA, etc.) before calculating the volatility range.
Volatility Envelope – The range is scaled using a fixed factor (2.618) and further adjusted by a Band Multiplier to form the primary envelope around price.
Smoothed Volatility Curve – Final bands are stabilized using a long lookback, ensuring clean visual structure and trend clarity.
⚪ Curved Channel Logic
In Curved Mode, the trend channel grows over time when the trend direction remains unchanged:
Base Step Size (× ATR) – Sets the minimum unit of slope change.
Growth per Bar (× ATR) – Defines the acceleration rate of the channel slope with time.
Trend Persistence Recognition – The longer a trend persists, the more pronounced the slope becomes, mimicking real market accelerations.
This dynamic, time-dependent logic enables the channel to "curve" upward or downward, tracking long-standing trends with increasing confidence.
⚪ Trend Slope
As an alternative to curved logic, traders can activate a regular Trend slope using:
Slope Length – Determines how quickly the trend line adapts to price shifts.
Multiplicative Factor – Amplifies the sensitivity of the slope, useful in fast-moving markets or lower timeframes.
⚪ Candle Trend Confirmation
A robust second-layer trend detection method, the Candle Trend System evaluates directional pressure by analyzing smoothed price action:
Multi-tier Smoothing – Trend lines are derived from short-, medium-, and long-term candle movement.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Identification
When the Trend Line direction and Candle Colors are in agreement, this indicates strong, persistent directional conviction. Use these moments to enter with trend confirmation and manage risk more confidently.
⚪ Retest
During ongoing trends, the price will often pull back into the dynamic channel. Look for:
Support/resistance interactions at the upper or lower bands.
█ Settings
Scaled Volatility Length – Controls the historical depth used to stabilize the volatility bands.
Smoothing Type – Choose from HMA, KAMA, VIDYA, FRAMA, Super Smoother, etc. to match your asset and trading style.
Volatility MA Length – Smoothing length for the calculated range; shorter = more reactive.
High/Low Smoother Length – Additional smoothing to reduce noise from spikes or false pivots.
Band Multiplier – Widens or tightens the band range based on personal preference.
Enable Curved Channel – Toggle between curved or regular trend slope behavior.
Base Step (× ATR) – The starting point for curved slope progression.
Growth per Bar (× ATR) – How much the slope accelerates per bar during a sustained trend.
Slope – Reactivity of the standard trend line to price movements.
Multiplicative Factor – Sensitivity adjustment for HyperTrend slope.
Candle Trend Length – Lookback period for trend determination from candle structure.

IU Pivot Zones + GMADESCRIPTION:
IU Pivot Zones + GMA is a smart price-action-based indicator that detects meaningful support and resistance zones formed through pivot highs/lows while combining them with dynamic zone generation and Geometric Moving Averages (GMA). This tool is built to help traders visualize institutional breakout/rejection zones with clear, logical mapping and live box management — helping you stay ahead of the move.
The indicator is designed for intraday, swing, and positional traders who want to enhance their trading decisions with visual confluence zones and market structure logic.
USER INPUTS
* Pivot point Lengths: Number of bars used to detect pivot highs/lows
* Zone length: Controls the thickness of the support/resistance zone; higher values create wider zones
* GMA Length: Period for calculating the geometric moving averages based on highs and lows
* Allow Bar/candle Color: Enables or disables special candle coloring when price interacts with the zones
LOGIC OF THE INDICATOR:
* Detects pivot highs and pivot lows using the user-defined length
* Compares consecutive pivot levels to determine if they fall within a valid ATR-based price band to form a zone
* If confirmed, the indicator dynamically plots a resistance or support box between those pivot points, colored respectively (red for resistance, green for support)
* The boxes update in real-time based on price action. If price respects the zone, the box extends forward. If price breaks the zone, the box disappears
* Geometric Moving Averages (GMA) based on logarithmic mean of highs and lows are plotted to offer a trend bias
* Candles that touch the top of the support zone are colored yellow, and those touching the bottom of the resistance zone are orange, enhancing zone reaction visibility
WHY IT IS UNIQUE:
* Uses logarithmic-based GMAs, which are smoother and less reactive than traditional moving averages
* ATR-based zone logic makes it adaptive to volatility instead of using fixed-width zones
* Combines structural levels (pivots), volatility filters (ATR), and trend overlays (GMA) in one unified tool
* Real-time zone extension and disappearance logic based on price interaction
HOW USER CAN BENEFIT FROM IT:
* Spot high-probability breakout or reversal zones that price respects consistently
* Use the GMA cloud for trend confirmation — for example, bullish bias when price is above both GMAs
* Build price action strategies around zone touches, breakouts, or rejections
* Use color-coded candles as real-time alerts for potential entry/exit signals near S/R levels
* Save time by avoiding manual marking of zones on charts across timeframes

Auto Fractal [theUltimator5]This indicator is what I call the Auto Fractal. It is a unique algorithm that looks back in time, finds a segment on the chart that closest matches the recent price action, then projects the price forwards. It effectively finds chart patterns and shows you what the price did the last time the same/similar chart pattern was observed.
Creating an algorithm to match abstract curves to other abstract curves and provide a confidence score was the fundamental problem that needed to be solved in order to create this indicator, which curve matches with surprising accuracy.
The most effective method to "curve match" that I found is the Pearson Coefficient, set by a segment length and a lookback period. After the highest coefficient curve is located, the curve then gets scaled and offset to match the current price.
The past segment is drawn over the current price (orange line), giving a visualization of the two curves and how closely they match each other. The indicator then projects the price forwards in time based on the price action of the chart from the historical segment (dashed fuchsia line).
A bounding box also gets drawn around the historical segment to give you a clear visual of where the price is getting pulled from for proper analysis and ease of use.
The Pearson Coefficient % is shown in a table in the top right-hand corner of the chart and can be toggled off if desired. The values range from -100% (perfectly inverse correlation) to +100% (perfectly correlated) with 0 meaning no correlation whatsoever. The closer to +100% the value is, the better the segment match.
As with most/all of my indicators, user interface and simplicity was at the top of my priority list. I designed this to be easily readable and intuitive to both novice and veteran traders, without cluttering the chart.
Note:
This indicator is extremely heavy in terms of memory usage due to nested for loops, and takes several seconds to initially load the chart overlay. If the lookback period is increased too high (>600) then the indicator may time out and fail to load anything. If nothing loads on the chart, try reducing the lookback length and wait up to 10 seconds for lines to appear.
PLR-Z For Loop🧠 Overview
PLR-Z For Loop is a trend-following indicator built on the Power Law Residual Z-score model of Bitcoin price behavior. By measuring how far price deviates from a long-term power law regression and applying a custom scoring loop, this tool identifies consistent directional pressure in market structure. Designed for BTC, this indicator helps traders align with macro trends.
🧩 Key Features
Power Law Residual Model: Tracks deviations of BTC price from its long-term logarithmic growth curve.
Z-Score Normalization: Applies long-horizon statistical normalization (400/1460 bars) to smooth residual deviations into a usable trend signal.
Loop-Based Trend Filter: Iteratively scores how often the current Z-score exceeds prior values, emphasizing trend persistence over volatility.
Optional Smoothing: Toggleable exponential smoothing helps filter noise in choppier market conditions.
Directional Regime Coloring: Aqua (bullish) and Red (bearish) visuals reinforce trend alignment across plots and candles.
🔍 How It Works
Power Law Curve: Price is compared against a logarithmic regression model fitted to historical BTC price evolution (starting July 2010), defining structural support, resistance, and centerline levels.
Residual Z-Score: The residual is calculated as the log-difference between price and the power law center.
This residual is then normalized using a rolling mean (400 days) and standard deviation (1460 days) to create a long-term Z-score.
Loop Scoring Logic:
A loop compares the current Z-score to a configurable number of past bars.
Each higher comparison adds +1, and each lower one subtracts -1.
The result is a trend persistence score (z_loop) that grows with consistent directional momentum.
Smoothing Option: A user-defined EMA smooths the score, if enabled, to reduce short-term signal noise.
Signal Logic:
Long signal when trend score exceeds long_threshold.
Short signal when score drops below short_threshold.
Directional State (CD): Internally manages the current market regime (1 = long, -1 = short), controlling all visual output.
🔁 Use Cases & Applications
Macro Trend Alignment: Ideal for traders and analysts tracking Bitcoin’s structural momentum over long timeframes.
Trend Persistence Filter: Helps confirm whether the current move is part of a sustained trend or short-lived volatility.
Best Suited for BTC: Built specifically on the BNC BLX price history and Bitcoin’s power law behavior. Not designed for use with other assets.
✅ Conclusion
PLR-Z For Loop reframes Bitcoin’s long-term power law model into a trend-following tool by scoring the persistence of deviations above or below fair value. It shifts the focus from valuation-based mean reversion to directional momentum, making it a valuable signal for traders seeking high-conviction participation in BTC’s broader market cycles.

Quantum Edge Pro Quantum Edge Pro - The Microstructure Revolution in NASDAQ Futures Trading
Where Mathematical Precision, Market Microstructure, and Quantum Visualization Converge
Exclusively Engineered for NASDAQ Micro (MNQ) and E-mini (NQ) Futures
The Paradigm Shift: Beyond Traditional Technical Analysis
For decades, futures traders have relied on lagging indicators and static rules. Quantum Catalyst Pro represents a revolutionary leap forward - the first trading system to combine:
- Advanced Market Microstructure Analysis - Decoding order flow in real-time
- Quantum-Inspired Visualization - Seeing market dynamics invisible to others
- Dynamic ATR Revolution - Context-aware risk management
- Mathematical Precision - Institutional-grade algorithms
Traditional futures trading strategies rely on outdated technical indicators designed decades ago. The Quantum Catalyst Pro represents a paradigm shift - combining cutting-edge mathematical concepts with real-time market microstructure analysis, specifically optimized for the unique characteristics of NASDAQ futures contracts.
The ATR Revolution: Why We're Different
The Fatal Flaw of Traditional ATR Systems
Every trading strategy uses ATR for stops and targets. They all fail for the same reasons:
1. ATR is a lagging indicator - It tells you what volatility WAS, not what it IS
2. Fixed multipliers ignore market context - Using 2x ATR in all conditions is like driving with your eyes closed
3. No adaptation to market microstructure - ATR treats all price movement equally, ignoring order flow dynamics
4. Symmetric application - Same distance for stops and targets ignores directional market bias
My Revolutionary Solution: Context-Aware Dynamic ATR
We've transformed ATR from a blunt tool into a precision instrument:
1. Instrument-Specific ATR Periods
ATR Period = NQ: 10 bars | MNQ: 14 bars
Why? NQ moves faster and requires more responsive measurements.
2. Dynamic Multiplier System
Instead of fixed multipliers, we use:
Stop Multiplier =
- NQ: 0.8x (tighter due to higher leverage)
- MNQ: 1.2x (wider for noise tolerance)
Target Multiplier =
- Trending: 3.0x stop distance
- Ranging: 1.5x stop distance
- NQ Additional: 0.8x modifier (scales down targets)
3. Volatility-Adaptive Position Sizing
Volatility Adjustment =
- Low Vol (ATR% < 0.1): Size × 1.5
- Normal Vol: Size × 1.0
- High Vol (ATR% > 0.3): Size × 0.5
4. Microstructure-Enhanced Exits
- Adverse Movement: 0.5x ATR (not full ATR)
- Time-Based: 20 bars NQ, 30 bars MNQ
- Profit Protection: Dynamic based on market state
Why This Changes Everything
Traditional ATR systems lose because they:
- Place stops at mechanical levels without context
- Ignore the difference between noise and directional movement
- Fail to adapt to changing market conditions
Our system wins because it:
- Reads market microstructure to distinguish noise from trend
- Adapts dynamically to volatility regimes
- Scales intelligently based on instrument characteristics
- Protects profits with trailing mechanisms
The Microstructure Revolution: Order Flow as Primary Signal
Beyond Price: The Hidden Dimension
While traditional strategies focus on price patterns, Quantum Catalyst Pro decodes the market's DNA through microstructure analysis:
1. Order Flow Imbalance Calculation
Buy Volume = Volume × (Close > Open ? 1.0 : 0.3)
Sell Volume = Volume × (Close < Open ? 1.0 : 0.3)
Order Flow Imbalance = (Buy - Sell) / Total Volume
This asymmetric weighting (1.0 vs 0.3) captures the TRUE directional intent, not just volume.
2. Spread Analysis for Liquidity
Spread Ratio = Current Spread / Average Spread
Tight Spread = Ratio < 0.7 (high liquidity)
3. Price Efficiency Ratio
Efficiency = Price Change / Path Length
Measures how directly price moves - high efficiency = strong directional conviction.
Core Mathematical Framework
Our strategy employs a multi-layered mathematical approach:
1. Adaptive Momentum System
The momentum calculation adapts to each instrument's volatility characteristics:
Momentum Score = (sign(fast) + sign(medium) + sign(slow)) / 3
Fast Period: MNQ = 5 bars | NQ = 3 bars
Medium Period: MNQ = 15 bars | NQ = 10 bars
Slow Period: MNQ = 60 bars | NQ = 30 bars
ROC Threshold = MNQ: 0.1% | NQ: 0.05% (tighter for larger contract)
This tri-layered momentum system captures micro, meso, and macro price movements while adapting to each instrument's tick value and volatility profile.
2. Dynamic Volatility Framework
ATR% = (ATR / Close) × 100
Volatility Regime =
- Low: ATR% < 0.1 (position size × 1.5)
- Normal: 0.1 ≤ ATR% ≤ 0.3 (position size × 1.0)
- High: ATR% > 0.3 (position size × 0.5)
3. Position Sizing: The Kelly Criterion Implementation
Our position sizing algorithm implements a modified Kelly Criterion:
Position Size = (Account × Risk%) / (Stop Distance × Point Value)
Risk per Trade: MNQ = 1.5% | NQ = 0.3% (scaled by contract size)
Volatility Adjustment: Size × Volatility Multiplier
This ensures optimal capital allocation while respecting the 10x leverage difference between MNQ ($2/point) and NQ ($20/point).

The FVG Trailing Stop is intended to identify trend directions through its position relative to the closing price:
Bullish: Price is located above the Trailing Stop, indicating that all Bearish FVGs have been mitigated and the trend is anticipated to continue upwards.
Bearish State: Price is located below the Trailing Stop, indicating that all Bullish FVGs have been mitigated and the trend is anticipated to continue downwards.
The Trailing Stop originates from two extremities obtained from the average of respective unmitigated FVGs. The specific directional average is also displayed as a more transparent secondary line, however, the trailing stop is derived from this value and a new trend will not be detected until the opposite directional average is crossed.
Price reaching the Trailing Stop is caused by retracements and can lead to the following scenarios:
Outcome 1: The directional average is crossed next, indicating a new trend direction.
Outcome 2: The directional average is held as support or resistance, leading to a new impulse and a continuation of the trend.
🔹 Reset on Cross
While price crossing the Trailing Stop should be considered as a sign of an upcoming trend change; it is possible for the price to still evolve outside it.
As a solution, we have included the "Reset on Cross" feature, which (as the name suggests) hides and resets the Trailing Stop each time it is crossed, leading to a "Neutral" state.
This opens the opportunity for the Trailing Stop to be displayed again once the price moves again in the direction of the pre-established trend. A trader might use this to accumulate positions within a specific trend.
🔶 DETAILS
The script uses a typical identification method for FVGs. Once identified, the script collects the point of the FVG farthest from the current price when formed.
For Upwards FVGs this is the bottom of the FVG.
For Downwards FVGs this is the top of the FVG.
The data is managed only to use the last input lookback of FVGs. If an FVG is mitigated, it frees up a spot in the memory for a new FVG, however, if the lookback is full, the oldest will be deleted.
From there, it uses a "trailing" logic only to move the Trailing Stop in one direction until the trailing stop resets or the direction flips.
The extremities used to calculate the Trailing Stop are created from 2 calculation steps, the first step involves taking the raw average of the FVG mitigation levels, and the second step applies a simple moving average (SMA) smoothing of the precedent-obtained averages.
🔶 SETTINGS
Unmitigated FVG Lookback: Sets the maximum number of Unmitigated FVGs that the script will use.
Smoothing Length: Sets the smoothing length for the Trailing Stop to reduce erratic results.
Reset on Cross: When enabled, hide and reset the Trailing Stop until the price starts moving in the pre-established trend direction again.

P4H SFP StrategySignals Long or Short Entries based on Previous 4H low/high. Entry criteria are SFP/Rejection of P4h L/H and candle close in opposite direction. RSI must be 65/35 but can customize. Stop/TP 1% from entry. All of this is customizable. Stats are shown and you can change the time range of that as well.
Trend Signals StrategyThis strategy is designed to follow the dominant market trend and only take trades in the direction of that trend. It uses two moving averages for trend detection and candlestick confirmation for entries. The strategy can be used on any timeframe but works best on 15m to 1H for intraday trading.
3 EMA Trend Strategy (Locks Trailing Stop Tightening)3 EMA Trend Strategy (with Trailing Stop Tightening)
This open-source strategy uses three Exponential Moving Averages (7, 21, 35) to detect bullish alignment and trigger long entries during strong upward trends.
* Entry Logic:
A long trade is triggered when EMA 7 > EMA 21 > EMA 35. This alignment signals a confirmed uptrend.
* Exit Logic:
The strategy uses a trailing stop mechanism.
An initial stop (e.g., 10%) follows the high since entry.
Once profit reaches a customizable threshold (e.g., 20%), the trailing stop tightens (e.g., to 5%) to help lock in gains.
* Backtest Settings (default):
Starting capital: $10,000
Commission: 0.1%
Slippage: 1 tick
Position sizing: 100% of equity per trade (can be reduced to lower risk)
* Customization:
All trailing logic and EMA settings are configurable.
Designed for swing trading and adaptable for multiple timeframes.

Polynomial Deviation BandsThis indicator applies polynomial regression of selectable degree (1st to 4th) to recent price data, fitting a smooth curve that models the underlying price trend more flexibly than linear regression.
Around this polynomial regression line, it plots dynamic deviation bands calculated using a variety of selectable methods—including standard deviation, mean/median absolute deviation, exponential deviation, true range deviation, Hull, Frama, Kaufman adaptive, Gaussian weighted, and quantile deviation—providing a comprehensive view of price volatility and dispersion.
Key Features:
Polynomial regression fit updated on each bar, capturing nonlinear price trends.
Multiple deviation calculation options allow customization of band sensitivity and robustness.
Bands adjust dynamically to changing volatility and price behavior.
Overlay on price chart with optional candle coloring based on trend signals derived from price relative to bands.
Trend signals indicated by price crossing upper or lower bands.
Useful for identifying trend direction, potential support/resistance, and volatility expansion/contraction.
This tool combines advanced statistical modeling with flexible volatility measures to help traders better understand price structure and make informed trading decisions.
The indicator is computationally efficient despite polynomial fitting and offers extensive customization for diverse trading styles and markets.

Optimized Trend [DaviddTech]Optimized Trend is a comprehensive trend-following indicator that combines multiple analytical techniques for improved decision-making.
Key Features:
Zero-Lag Exponential Moving Average (ZLEMA) to reduce lag and track price movements more effectively.
Adaptive Lag Control: The lag of the ZLEMA can be automatically adjusted based on market volatility (ATR), or manually set for user preference.
Composite Score: A weighted measure combining ZLEMA momentum, short-term price changes, ATR-based volatility, and money flow (using Chaikin Money Flow and Money Flow Index). This creates a 0–100 score reflecting overall market strength.
Dynamic Bands: ATR-based upper and lower bands shift depending on price relative to the ZLEMA, acting as dynamic support/resistance.
Trend Cross Alerts: Plots buy and sell dots when the price crosses the ZLEMA for quick trade signals.
Summary Table: Displays key data including composite score, volatility, trend direction, current lag setting, and a market narrative.
Uniqueness & Research Basis:
This indicator incorporates an adaptive lag mechanism tied to ATR volatility, making the trendline more responsive during high volatility and smoother during calmer markets. It also blends multiple volume/flow metrics into a single money flow component, delivering a synthesized view of market strength not found in traditional ZLEMA tools.
How to Use:
Identify Trend Direction: Use the ZLEMA color (teal for bullish, maroon for bearish) and composite score to confirm market bias.
Monitor Bands: Price reaching the upper band (red fill) may indicate overbought conditions, while the lower band (green fill) may signal oversold conditions.
Entry/Exit Signals: Watch for the plotted (buy) and (sell) dots as potential trade signals.
Fine-Tune Sensitivity: Adjust ZLEMA length and lag settings in the inputs to better match your trading timeframe and style.
Adaptive Lag: Enable or disable to see how dynamic volatility affects responsiveness.
This indicator is designed for educational purposes only and should be used with additional confirmation and risk management in your trading plan.
Percent Change of Range Candles📌 Indicator Description: "Percent Change of Range Candles"
This indicator is designed to visualize the percentage price change over a specified number of candles, relative to the historical market range. Instead of traditional candles, it uses a custom "range candle" visualization that reflects relative changes in context with the highest and lowest points within a given period.
🎯 Purpose and Application
The goal of this indicator is to:
Show how much the current price has changed compared to the price length candles ago (default: 100).
Express this change as a percentage of the total price range during that period.
Help traders identify extreme price movements, whether bullish or bearish.
Serve as an additional filter for momentum zones, divergences, or overextended conditions.
⚙️ How It Works
🔹 Core Calculation:
Range: The difference between the highest and lowest price over the selected period (length).
Price Change: The difference between the current close and the close length bars ago.
Percentage Value: (price_change / range) * 100
🔹 Additional Logic:
The synthetic open value is calculated as the average of the last 5 c values.
The high and low of each range candle are adjusted:
If c is negative, the high is replaced with a shorter-term percentage change (25% of length).
If c is positive, the low is adjusted in the same way.
🔹 Visualization:
Displays custom candles based on percentage change, not real price.
Candle color is green if the current value is above the recent average, and red if below.
Horizontal reference lines are drawn at +100, +70, 0, -70, and -100, helping to identify extremes.
✅ Advantages and Use Cases
Detects market extremes and potential reversal zones.
Useful in volatility or momentum-based strategies.
Can serve as a signal filter or divergence detector when combined with other tools (e.g., RSI, MACD).
🔥Scalping Fusion Strategy v6🔥Scalping Fusion (v6)
✅ Overview:
This is a powerful intraday scalping strategy that combines two Super Trend systems:
Pivot Super Trend – uses dynamic pivot highs/lows and ATR-based bands.

Supply/Demand Zones + Engulfment-based ExecutionSupply/Demand Zones + Engulfment-Based Execution
Strategy Overview
This strategy combines institutional trading concepts—supply/demand zones and engulfing candle patterns—to generate high-probability long and short trade setups. The system uses aggregated price action to identify potential reversal zones and confirms entries with engulfing candle patterns, ensuring trades are only taken when market structure shows commitment in the direction of the trade.
Core Concepts
• Supply & Demand Zones: These are automatically detected by analyzing aggregated bullish and bearish candle structures over user-defined intervals. Supply zones are formed after bearish continuation patterns; demand zones appear after bullish continuation patterns.
• Engulfing Entries: Once price enters a zone, the strategy waits for a bullish engulfing pattern (in a demand zone) or a bearish engulfing pattern (in a supply zone) before executing a trade. This adds confirmation and reduces false signals.
• Risk Management: Stop-loss is placed at the low (for long trades) or high (for short trades) of the engulfed candle. Take-profit can be calculated using a fixed R-multiple (risk-to-reward ratio) or a user-defined target price.
Key Features
Fully customizable aggregation factor for zone detection
Visual zone boxes, entry/SL/TP boxes, and engulfing pattern labels
Optional removal of mitigated zones for cleaner charting
Configurable trade mode (Long only, Short only, or Both)
Support for trading sessions and date filtering
Alerts for price entering supply or demand zones
How to Use
Select Aggregation Factor: Choose how many candles to group together for identifying key zones (e.g., 4x timeframe).
Enable Zones: Turn on supply and/or demand zones as needed.
Set Execution Parameters:
– Choose R-multiple (e.g., 2:1 risk-reward)
– Or use a fixed take-profit price
Define Trade Time Window:
– Set the date and time ranges to restrict execution
– Use Start Hour and End Hour to limit trades to specific sessions (e.g., London/New York)
Run on Desired Timeframe: Typically used on 15m–4H charts, depending on your strategy and the asset’s volatility.
Ideal For
• Traders using Smart Money Concepts (SMC)
• Those who value high-confluence entries
• Intraday to swing traders looking for structure-based automation
⚠️ Important Notes
• The strategy requires engulfing confirmation within the zone to enter a position.
• This script does not repaint and executes trades on a bar close basis.
• Backtest results may vary based on session filters and aggregation factor.

Zero Lag Trend Strategy (MTF) [AlgoAlpha]# Zero Lag Trend Strategy (MTF) - Complete Guide
## Overview
The Zero Lag Trend Strategy is a sophisticated trading system that combines zero-lag exponential moving averages with volatility bands and EMA-based entry/exit filtering. This strategy is designed to capture trending movements while minimizing false signals through multiple confirmation layers.
## Core Components
### 1. Zero Lag EMA (ZLEMA)
- **Purpose**: Primary trend identification with reduced lag
- **Calculation**: Uses a modified EMA that compensates for inherent lag by incorporating price momentum
- **Formula**: `EMA(price + (price - price ), length)` where lag = (length-1)/2
- **Default Length**: 70 periods (adjustable)
### 2. Volatility Bands
- **Purpose**: Define trend strength and entry/exit zones
- **Calculation**: Based on ATR (Average True Range) multiplied by a user-defined multiplier
- **Upper Band**: ZLEMA + (ATR * multiplier)
- **Lower Band**: ZLEMA - (ATR * multiplier)
- **Default Multiplier**: 1.2 (adjustable)
### 3. EMA Filter/Exit System
- **Purpose**: Entry filtering and exit signal generation
- **Default Length**: 9 periods (fully customizable)
- **Color**: Blue line on chart
- **Function**: Prevents counter-trend entries and provides clean exit signals
## Entry Logic
### Long Entry Conditions
1. **Primary Signal**: Price crosses above the upper volatility band (strong bullish momentum)
2. **Additional Entries**: Price crosses above ZLEMA while already in an uptrend (if enabled)
3. **EMA Filter**: Price must be above the EMA filter line
4. **Confirmation**: All conditions must align simultaneously
### Short Entry Conditions
1. **Primary Signal**: Price crosses below the lower volatility band (strong bearish momentum)
2. **Additional Entries**: Price crosses below ZLEMA while already in a downtrend (if enabled)
3. **EMA Filter**: Price must be below the EMA filter line
4. **Confirmation**: All conditions must align simultaneously
## Exit Logic
**Simple and Clean**: Positions are closed when price crosses the EMA filter line in the opposite direction:
- **Long Exit**: Price crosses below the EMA filter
- **Short Exit**: Price crosses above the EMA filter
## Multi-Timeframe Analysis
The strategy includes a real-time table showing trend direction across 5 different timeframes:
- Default timeframes: 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, 1D (all customizable)
- Color-coded signals: Green for bullish, Red for bearish
- Helps confirm overall market direction before taking trades
## Key Parameters
### Main Calculations
- **Length (70)**: Zero-lag EMA calculation period
- **Band Multiplier (1.2)**: Controls volatility band width
### Strategy Settings
- **Enable Additional Trend Entries**: Allow multiple entries during strong trends
- **EMA Exit Length (9)**: Period for the entry filter and exit EMA
### Timeframes
- **5 customizable timeframes** for multi-timeframe trend analysis
### Appearance
- **Bullish Color**: Default green (#00ffbb)
- **Bearish Color**: Default red (#ff1100)
## Visual Elements
### Chart Display
- **ZLEMA Line**: Color-coded trend line (green/red based on trend direction)
- **Volatility Bands**: Dynamic upper/lower bands that appear based on trend
- **EMA Filter**: Blue line for entry filtering and exits
- **Entry Signals**:
- Large arrows (▲▼) for primary trend signals
- Small arrows for additional trend entries
- Tiny letters (L/S) for actual strategy entries
### Information Table
- **Position**: Top-right corner
- **Content**: Real-time trend status across all configured timeframes
- **Updates**: Continuously updated with current market conditions

- Comprehensive multi-timeframe overview
## Best Practices
### Parameter Optimization
- **Length**: Higher values (50-100) for longer-term trends, lower values (20-50) for shorter-term
- **Band Multiplier**: Higher values (1.5-2.0) reduce signals but increase quality
- **EMA Length**: Shorter periods (5-13) for quick exits, longer periods (20-50) for trend riding
### Market Conditions
- **Trending Markets**: Enable additional trend entries for maximum profit
- **Choppy Markets**: Use higher band multiplier and longer EMA for fewer, higher-quality signals
- **Different Timeframes**: Adjust all parameters proportionally when changing chart timeframes
### Multi-Timeframe Usage
- Align trades with higher timeframe trends
- Use lower timeframes for precise entry timing
- Avoid trades when timeframes show conflicting signals
## Risk Considerations
- Like all trend-following strategies, may struggle in ranging/choppy markets
- EMA exit system prioritizes trend continuation over quick profit-taking
- Multiple timeframe analysis requires careful interpretation
- Backtesting recommended before live trading with any parameter changes
## Conclusion
The Zero Lag Trend Strategy provides a comprehensive approach to trend trading with built-in risk management and multi-timeframe analysis. Its combination of advanced technical indicators, clear entry/exit rules, and customizable parameters makes it suitable for both novice and experienced traders seeking to capture trending market movements.

ORB2The "ORB2" Indicator (Opening Range Breakout 2) is designed to identify the key price range at the beginning of the trading day—commonly referred to as the opening range. Its main purpose is to help traders detect potential breakout points from this range, which are often used as signals for trade entries.
📌 Purpose
The indicator visually marks the highest (high) and lowest (low) price within a defined time interval at the start of the session (e.g., from 09:15 to 09:20). These values form what’s known as the opening range, which is often considered a consolidation zone before the market chooses a direction.
⚙️ How It Works
Time Setup:
The user defines the time window during which the opening range is monitored (default: 09:15–09:20).
The high and low values are tracked within this interval.
Session Detection:
When the defined session begins (is_first), the indicator records the current high and low as the initial ORB levels.
Range Updating:
During the session, if a new candle has a higher high or a lower low than the previously recorded ORB range, the indicator updates the levels accordingly.
Visualization:
The ORB zone is displayed as a shaded area (a blue fill between a green upper line and a red lower line)—but only when applied to intra-day charts with a time interval less than or equal to the specified inputMax (e.g., 5 minutes).
🎯 Purpose and Benefits
Quick breakout detection – Helps traders easily identify when price breaks out of the initial consolidation.
Clear visualization – Highlights the high/low boundaries and range area, making breakout strategies more effective.
Customizability – The user can adjust the session time and the maximum allowed chart resolution for display.
[Kpt-Ahab] Poor Mans Orderflow SimulatorScript Description – Poor Mans Orderflow Simulator
Purpose of the Script
This script simulates a simplified order flow approach ("Poor Man's Orderflow") without access to actual Bid/Ask data. The goal is to detect, quantify, and visualize patterns such as absorption, impulsive moves, and structured re-entry behaviors.
Calculation Logic
Absorption Candles
A candle is classified as "absorption" if:
The ratio of body size to full candle range is below a defined threshold,
Volume is significantly higher than the average of the last N periods,
The candle direction is negative (for long absorption) or positive (for short absorption).
These conditions define a candle with high activity but minimal price movement in the respective direction.
Impulse Candles
A candle is classified as "impulse" if:
The body-to-range ratio is high (indicating a strong directional move),
Volume exceeds the average significantly,
The price closes in the direction of the candle body (bullish or bearish).
Additionally, the average range of previous candles serves as a minimum benchmark for the impulse.
Cluster Detection
A cluster is detected when:
A minimum number of absorption candles is counted within a defined lookback period,
Either the long or short version of the absorption logic is used,
The result is a binary condition: cluster active or inactive.
Entry Signals (Re-entry)
An entry signal is generated when:
One or more absorption candles occurred in the last two bars,
A pullback against the direction of absorption occurs,
The current candle shows a directional move confirmed by a close in the expected direction.
These re-entry signals are evaluated separately for long and short scenarios.
Cluster-Confirmed Signals
A separate signal is generated when a valid re-entry setup occurs while a cluster is active. This represents a combined logic condition.
Alert Logic
The script provides a multi-layer alert framework:
Signal selection (Alertmode):
The user defines which signal type should trigger an alert (e.g. re-entry only, cluster only, combination, or impulse).
Optional filter (Filtermode):
A secondary filter limits alerts to cases where an additional condition (e.g. absorption cluster) is active.
Signal output:
As a simple binary value (+1 / –1) for classic alerts,
Or via an encoded Multibit signal, compatible with other modules in the djmad ecosystem.
These alerts are intended for integration with external systems or for use within platform-native visual or automation features.
