Ultimate CVD Suite Pro [DAFE]Ultimate CVD Suite Pro : The Institutional Flow Engine
High-Fidelity Microstructure Delta. The Revolutionary MTF Horizon Display. This is not just CVD. This is an X-Ray into the Market's Auction.
█ PHILOSOPHY: PRICE IS THE ADVERTISEMENT. ORDER FLOW IS THE TRUTH.
Standard technical analysis is a conversation with a shadow. It looks at price—the final, often deceptive, result of a hidden battle. But the professionals, the institutions, the "smart money"—they don't trade the shadow. They operate in the real world of the auction, a world of aggressive market orders and passive limit orders, a world of absorption, exhaustion, and imbalance.
The Ultimate CVD Suite Pro was engineered to give you a direct, unfiltered view into this hidden world. This is not another lagging indicator that repaints the past. It is a real-time intelligence engine. By reconstructing a high-fidelity view of the market's microstructure, it allows you to track the institutional footprint, anticipate reversals before they appear in price, and identify high-probability "kill zones" where major market players are defending their positions.
We do not chase price. We anticipate its next move by understanding the forces that create it.
█ WHAT MAKES THIS THE "ULTIMATE" SUITE? THE CORE INNOVATIONS
This is not a simple CVD indicator. It is a multi-layered, professional-grade analytics engine that stands in a class of its own.
High-Fidelity Microstructure Delta Engine: This is the heart of the suite and its greatest innovation. Standard CVD indicators are flawed because they use data from the current chart's timeframe. This engine is different. It requests data from a Lower Timeframe (LTF) and reconstructs the order flow with near tick-level precision. This provides a vastly superior, more accurate, and more responsive picture of the real buying and selling aggression.
The MTF Horizon Display: A revolutionary leap in data visualization. The Horizon projects up to three "holographic" displays of higher-timeframe metrics (CVD, Volume, RSI, etc.) directly onto your main price chart. You can now see the "Macro Flow" of the 1-Hour, 4-Hour, and Daily charts without ever leaving your 5-minute screen, allowing for instant, intuitive multi-timeframe analysis.
The Sequence Analysis Engine (E/M/L): This proprietary algorithm analyzes the DNA of order flow within each price bar. It identifies and marks the three critical phases of participation: Early (Smart Money), Mid (Trend Followers), and Late (Exhaustion/Bag Holders) with glowing "sparkles," giving you a narrative of who is in control.
Smart Kill Zone Detection: The indicator automatically identifies, plots, and tracks high-probability Supply and Demand zones. These are not based on simple price pivots. They are generated by identifying price levels where an overwhelming amount of aggressive order flow was forcefully absorbed, marking a true, institutionally defended level.
Advanced Signal Processing: It goes beyond simple CVD to detect statistically significant Imbalances (Delta spikes >3 Sigma from the mean) and Absorption (high-volume, high-delta moves that fail to move price), providing you with a complete toolkit of professional order flow concepts.
The Visualization Core: Data should be intuitive and beautiful. Choose from six distinct, animated, and theme-aware rendering modes. From the glowing "Nebula Pulse" and flowing "Aurora Borealis" to the abstract "DNA Helix," you can transform raw data into interactive data art.
█ DEEP DIVE: INTERPRETING THE FLOW
The Lower Indicator Pane: Your Engine Roo
The Delta Histogram: This is your primary readout of aggression. Tall Green bars signify aggressive buying. Tall Red bars signify aggressive selling. Look for shifts and divergences.
The Sequence Sparkles (✦ E/M/L): These glowing orbs appear within the histogram, telling you the story of the auction.
E (Early): Low volume, but directional delta. Smart money is likely initiating a position.
M (Mid): Expanding volume and strong delta. The trend is healthy and has public participation.
L (Late): Highest volume, but delta may start to weaken or reverse. This often marks the exhaustion point of a move.
The Delta Acceleration Area: A subtle background fill that shows the rate of change of the delta. A rising green fill shows that buying pressure is not just present, but increasing.
Peak/Trough Markers (✚): Automatically marks significant peaks and troughs in the cumulative delta flow, making it easy to spot divergences.
The Main Chart Overlays: Actionable Intelligence
The CVD Wave: This is the Cumulative Volume Delta, plotted and scaled directly onto your price chart. It visualizes the running total of buying vs. selling pressure. Its slope is your primary trend confirmation.
Smart Kill Zones:
Demand Zones (Green Boxes): These are areas where aggressive selling was forcefully absorbed by passive buyers. When price revisits these zones, they are high-probability areas for a bounce.
Supply Zones (Red Boxes): Areas where aggressive buying was absorbed by passive sellers. These are high-probability rejection zones.
Imbalance & Absorption Lines: These lines are projected forward from bars that showed statistically significant events. They mark precise price levels of extreme order flow that are likely to act as future support or resistance.
█ THE MTF HORIZON DISPLAY: A COMMAND CENTER FOR TIME
This is a game-changer. The MTF Horizon projects up to three fully functional, real-time indicator displays from higher timeframes directly onto your chart. You can customize each of the three "Horizons" to display any of 10 different metrics (CVD, Volume, RSI, MACD, etc.) from any timeframe you choose.
How It Works: Each Horizon is a self-contained box with a header showing the timeframe and metric. Inside, a visual representation (e.g., a "Flowing Wave" or "Gradient Bars") shows the historical and current value of that metric.
The Strategy: This allows for instant, effortless multi-timeframe analysis. Are you seeing a buy signal on your 5-minute chart? A quick glance at the Horizon tells you if the 1-Hour CVD is rising, if the 4-Hour Volume is expanding, and if the Daily RSI is in a bullish regime—all without ever leaving your chart. Confluence across all Horizons is the signature of an A++ trade setup.
█ HIGH-PROBABILITY SIGNALS: TRADING THE FLOW
🔄 Divergence (The "Trap"): The highest conviction signal. When price makes a Lower Low, but the CVD Wave on your chart makes a Higher Low, it means sellers are aggressive but failing. A short squeeze is imminent. This is a powerful long entry signal.
🧲 Absorption (The "Wall"): Detected when volume is massive, delta is high, but the price candle is small. This indicates a huge wall of passive limit orders absorbing all the aggression. Fade the aggression; trade with the wall.
⚖️ Imbalance (The "Surge"): A delta bar that is statistically extreme (e.g., >3 Sigma from the mean). This signals that one side of the market has completely overwhelmed the other. This is often a powerful trend continuation signal.
Zone Retests: When price pulls back to test a previously formed Demand or Supply Zone, it provides a low-risk, high-probability entry in the direction of the original defense.
█ DEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY
The Ultimate CVD Suite Pro was born from a single, guiding principle: to win in modern markets, you must stop listening to the noise of price and start analyzing the signal of flow. Price is where amateurs look; flow is where professionals find their edge. By reconstructing order flow with a precision previously unavailable on this platform and fusing it with a revolutionary multi-timeframe visualization system, this tool aims to level the playing field. It translates the opaque, complex world of the institutional auction into a clear, intuitive, and actionable intelligence system.
This tool is designed to identify the moments when the market is becoming rational again—when the underlying flow of money is so strong that it forces irrational price action to bend to its will.
█ DISCLAIMER AND BEST PRACTICES
THIS IS AN ADVANCED ANALYTICAL TOOL: This indicator provides intelligence on order flow, not financial advice. It is designed to be a core component of a comprehensive trading strategy.
RISK MANAGEMENT IS PARAMOUNT: All trading involves substantial risk. Never risk more capital than you are prepared to lose.
LTF IS KEY: For the best results, set your Lower Timeframe (LTF) appropriately. For a 15-minute chart, use 1m or 3m. For a 1-Hour chart, use 5m.
USE CONFLUENCE: The highest probability signals come from confluence. A Bullish Divergence that forms inside a Smart Demand Zone while the MTF Horizon shows bullish alignment is an A++ setup.
"The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent."

GridMap PRO by TradeAkademiGridMap PRO – Structural Price Mapping Framework
GridMap PRO is a price-mapping framework designed to visualize repeatable price reaction zones, based on the observation that price tends to evolve within specific percentage-based bands over time.
Despite its name, GridMap PRO is not a traditional grid trading indicator; it does not generate signals, predict direction, or provide automated trade execution. Its purpose is to segment price into logical and structurally consistent zones, offering a map that supports the decision-making process rather than replacing it.
This framework is not built on randomly drawn support and resistance levels, but on long-term observations, reverse-engineering studies, and the analysis of recurring price behavior across different market conditions.
Core Concept: Percentage-Based Scaling and Structural Bands
At the core of GridMap PRO lies a percentage-based scaling model centered around a 33% expansion ratio.
This ratio was not selected as a theoretical or mathematical constant. Instead, it emerged empirically through extensive analysis across multiple asset classes (including cryptocurrencies and traditional market instruments), by examining the percentage moves from significant price lows to areas where major price reactions frequently occurred.
Long-term observations have highlighted the following patterns:
In many upward price movements originating from a low, the first major price reaction often occurs within the 30–35% range
The midpoint of this range, 33%, has shown a recurring tendency to produce meaningful price reactions
Similar behavior can be observed not only when projecting from local lows, but also when applying the same ratio from the asset’s historical low
These findings suggest that the 33% ratio may reflect an aspect of price’s intrinsic scaling behavior, rather than representing a singular or “special” level.
Why the Historical Low (All-Time / Structural Low)?
GridMap PRO does not rely on dynamic or constantly shifting reference points when performing its calculations. Instead, it uses the historical lowest price as the most objective and indisputable anchor point available.
This design choice is intentional:
Dynamic lows:
introduce visual noise
require frequent redrawing of levels
reduce long-term structural consistency
The historical low:
is singular and fixed
does not repaint
preserves long-term perspective
By anchoring calculations to this structural low, GridMap PRO prioritizes stability and consistency over attempting to identify the “perfect” level at every moment. The goal is not precision through constant adjustment, but a coherent and durable price map.
Calculation Logic
The historical lowest price is used as the reference point
From this level, price levels are projected upward using a 33% multiplicative expansion
The resulting levels form long-term structural reference zones
Calculations are logarithmic, preserving the proportional nature of price scaling
Unlike traditional horizontal support and resistance tools, this approach allows price to expand while maintaining consistent relative distances as it grows.
Map Resolution: Long Term & Short Term
GridMap PRO offers two map resolution options, both derived from the same underlying structure and calculations.
Long Term
Displays only the primary 33% levels
Produces wider, more spaced structural bands
Suitable for macro structure analysis, swing trading, and position trading
Provides a clean and simplified view in high-volatility environments
Short Term
Retains the same primary levels
Adds logarithmic sub-levels between them
Produces denser and more precise reaction zones
Suitable for intraday analysis, short-term trade planning, and micro-structure evaluation
The underlying calculations remain unchanged; only the visual resolution and level density differ.
Visual Context & Supporting Tools
GridMap PRO also provides several optional visual tools that are not included in the core level calculations and are intended purely for visual support. These elements are designed to help interpret the price map more clearly and to provide additional contextual awareness.
The available visual components may include:
Moving Averages (EMA)
Used to provide contextual insight into the general price direction. They do not generate any entry or exit signals.
RSI Overbought / Oversold Zones
Displayed solely as background shading based on RSI values from the current timeframe and, optionally, from higher timeframes (e.g., 4H).
RSI Divergence Zones
Visual markers used to highlight potential momentum discrepancies, incorporating filters to limit repetitive signals.
None of these visual elements affect GridMap PRO’s level calculations, nor are they designed to serve as standalone trading signals. All visual settings are optional and can be enabled or disabled by the user.
What GridMap PRO Does – and Does Not Do
What It Does
Segments price into meaningful structural zones
Visualizes areas where price reactions are statistically more likely to occur
Provides reference regions for limit orders, grid-based approaches, or DCA planning
Helps identify whether price is trading within an active zone or moving through low-interaction space
What It Does Not Do
Generate long or short trade signals
Predict future price direction
Provide standalone buy or sell decisions
Offer any form of performance or outcome guarantee
GridMap PRO is not a signal generator, but a decision-support map.
Relationship to DCA and Grid Approaches
GridMap PRO is not a grid or DCA strategy by itself. However, when price fails to react at a given level, the next calculated percentage band naturally becomes a potential area of interest, offering a logical framework for DCA or layered position management.
In this context, GridMap PRO is particularly suitable for traders who favor process-driven and structured position management, rather than relying on single-point entries.
Final Note
Although the levels displayed by GridMap PRO have historically produced meaningful price reactions across many markets, no level can guarantee future price behavior. Market conditions, volatility, liquidity, and news flow should always be taken into account.
This tool is not designed to suggest that “price will definitely reverse here,” but rather that “price may pause, struggle, or change direction in this area.”
Because each market exhibits its own unique dynamics, the relevance of individual levels may vary by asset. Users are encouraged to validate all levels through their own historical observation and analysis.
ATR ZLEMA [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The ATR ZLEMA indicator identifies trend direction and reversal points using a Zero Lag Exponential Moving Average (ZLEMA) combined with volatility-adjusted dynamic trailing stops. It eliminates the inherent lag of traditional moving averages while incorporating Average True Range (ATR) volatility measurement to create adaptive support and resistance levels that automatically adjust to market conditions, with optional noise filtering to reduce whipsaws in choppy markets, helping traders and investors identify trend changes, maintain positions during trending markets, and exit when momentum shifts across multiple timeframes and asset classes.
🟢 How It Works
The indicator's core methodology lies in its zero-lag trend detection system combined with volatility-adaptive trailing stops, where the ZLEMA eliminates moving average lag while ATR-based bands provide dynamic support and resistance levels:
lag = math.floor((zlemaLength - 1) / 2)
rawZlema = ta.ema(source + (source - source ), zlemaLength)
The Zero Lag EMA calculation uses lag reduction through data compensation, adding the difference between current price and lagged price to eliminate the delay inherent in traditional exponential moving averages, providing faster response to trend changes while maintaining smoothness.
The script incorporates an optional ATR-based noise filter that prevents the ZLEMA from updating during insignificant price movements, helping to reduce false signals in choppy, range-bound markets:
if enableNoiseFilter
noiseThreshold = atr * noiseFilter
priceChange = math.abs(rawZlema - zlema)
if priceChange > noiseThreshold
zlema := rawZlema
First, the indicator calculates the Average True Range to measure current market volatility, then applies a user-defined multiplier to determine the distance of the trailing stop from the ZLEMA:
atr = ta.rma(ta.tr(true), atrLength)
atrBand = atr * atrMultiplier
Next, dynamic trend detection occurs through a state-based system where the indicator tracks whether the ZLEMA is above or below the ATR trailing line, automatically adjusting the trailing stop position:
if trend == 1
if zlema < zlemaATR
trend := -1
zlemaATR := zlema + atrBand
else
zlemaATR := math.max(zlemaATR, zlema - atrBand)
The ATR trailing line acts as a volatility-adjusted stop that follows the ZLEMA during trends but never moves against the trend direction. It ratchets upward with the ZLEMA in uptrends and ratchets downward in downtrends, creating a protective barrier that adapts to market volatility.
Finally, trend reversal signals are generated when the ZLEMA crosses the ATR trailing line, indicating a shift in market momentum:
bullSignal = trend == 1 and trend == -1
bearSignal = trend == -1 and trend == 1
This creates a volatility-adaptive trend-following system that combines ZLEMA with dynamic support/resistance levels and optional noise filtering, providing traders with responsive directional signals and automatic stop-loss levels that adjust to both price momentum and market volatility conditions.
🟢 Signal Interpretation
▶ Bullish Trend (Green): ZLEMA trading above ATR trailing line with indicator showing bullish color, indicating established upward momentum with zero-lag confirmation = Long/Buy opportunities
▶ Bearish Trend (Red): ZLEMA trading below ATR trailing line with indicator showing bearish color, indicating established downward momentum with zero-lag confirmation = Short/Sell opportunities
▶ ATR Trailing Line as Dynamic Support: In uptrends, the trailing line acts as volatility-adjusted support level that rises with ZLEMA, never declining = Use as potential stop-loss reference for long positions = ZLEMA holding above indicates trend strength and momentum continuation
▶ ATR Trailing Line as Dynamic Resistance: In downtrends, the trailing line acts as volatility-adjusted resistance level that falls with ZLEMA, never rising = Use as potential stop-loss reference for short positions = ZLEMA holding below indicates trend weakness and momentum continuation
🟢 Features
▶ Preconfigured Presets: Three optimized parameter sets for different trading styles and market conditions. "Default" provides balanced configuration suitable for swing trading on daily and 4-hour charts with standard ZLEMA and ATR periods, moderate multiplier, and moderate noise filtering that works across most market conditions. "Fast Response" delivers aggressive configuration designed for intraday trading and scalping on 5-minute to 1-hour charts with shorter ZLEMA period for quick trend detection, reduced ATR period for rapid volatility adaptation, tighter multiplier for early entries/exits, and minimal noise filtering for maximum responsiveness. This is ideal for active traders monitoring positions closely but expect more frequent signals and potential whipsaws in choppy conditions. "Smooth Trend" focuses on conservative configuration for position trading and long-term trend following on daily to weekly charts with extended ZLEMA period for smoother trend identification, longer ATR period for stable volatility measurement, wide multiplier to filter minor corrections, and aggressive noise filtering to ensure only strong sustained trends trigger signals. This is best for patient traders focused on major trend moves with fewer reversals.
▶ Built-in Alerts: Three alert conditions enable comprehensive automated monitoring of trend changes and zero-lag momentum shifts. "Bullish Trend" triggers when the ZLEMA crosses above the ATR trailing line and trend state changes from bearish to bullish, signaling potential long entry opportunities with lag-eliminated confirmation. "Bearish Trend" activates when the ZLEMA crosses below the ATR trailing line and trend state changes from bullish to bearish, signaling potential short entry or long exit points with immediate momentum detection. "Any Trend Change" provides a combined alert for any trend reversal regardless of direction, allowing traders to be notified of all zero-lag momentum shifts without setting up separate alerts. These notifications enable traders to capitalize on trend changes and protect positions without continuous chart monitoring, leveraging the indicator's zero-lag technology for faster trend change alerts.
▶ Color Customization: Six visual themes (Classic, Aqua, Cosmic, Ember, Neon, plus Custom) accommodate different chart backgrounds and visual preferences, ensuring optimal contrast for identifying bullish versus bearish trends across various trading environments. The adjustable cloud fill transparency control (0-100%) allows fine-tuning of the gradient area prominence between the ATR trailing line and ZLEMA, with higher transparency values (70-95) creating subtle background context without overwhelming the chart while lower values (20-40) produce bold, prominent trend zone emphasis for instant recognition. Optional bar coloring with adjustable transparency (0-100%) extends the trend color directly to the price bars themselves based on ZLEMA trend state, providing immediate visual reinforcement of current trend direction without requiring reference to the indicator lines.
CTR Weekly MA + 1D MA (improved)This does what the previous version does but more. I've added color candles to match the three weekly MAs. It helps show the stronger pullback as it goes deeper into each of the 3 weekly MAs and once the pullback is over and price goes back above or below the lowest or highest MA (depending on whether you are trading in a bear market or bull market) the candle colors will turn bright green or bright red.
Market Structure BOS - Session Based (5m, NY Time) This indicator visualizes market structure using a strict, rule-based
Break of Structure (BOS) logic, calculated on the 5-minute timeframe
and evaluated in New York time.
The script detects swing Highs and Lows based on candle direction
(bullish → bearish for Highs, bearish → bullish for Lows). From each
validated structure point, a horizontal level is drawn at the true
price extreme (wick included). Once created, structure levels never
repaint or move.
A Break of Structure is confirmed only when a candle CLOSES beyond
the most recent valid structure level:
- Bullish BOS: close above the latest High
- Bearish BOS: close below the latest Low
The indicator is trend-aware: once a bullish or bearish BOS is confirmed,
only BOS signals in the same direction are shown until the trend changes.
This prevents duplicate or redundant structure breaks during trends.
Session logic is fully integrated and based on New York time:
- Asia
- London (with pre-open range)
- New York (with pre-open range)
Structure levels and BOS logic can optionally reset at the end of each
New York trading day, keeping the chart clean and session-relevant.
The indicator is designed for traders who focus on intraday price action,
market structure, and session-based behavior without visual clutter.
No labels, alerts, or signals are plotted — only clean structure levels.
JOWY LA VERDADERA ESTRUCTURABasically it is an indicator that perfectly represents the typical BoS Market structure in the fastest way. It is advisable to study several temporalities at the same time and not focus on just one.
Broadening Formation + Failed 2 CandlesThis indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to identify potential trend reversals at the boundaries of Broadening Formations (BF). It combines structural pivot analysis with the "Failed 2" candle pattern (a variation of an outside-bar or stop-run reversal) to highlight zones of technical alignment.
How it Works
1. Structural Detection (Broadening Formations)
The script identifies market structure using pivot-based logic:
* Auto Mode: Dynamically identifies Pivot Highs and Pivot Lows to plot the upper and lower boundaries of a broadening range.
* Manual Mode: Allows users to input specific price levels for fixed horizontal support and resistance.
2. The "Failed 2" Reversal Pattern
The script looks for specific price action exhaustion at the boundaries:
* Failed 2 Down (Long): Occurs when a candle creates a New Low (taking out the previous candle's low) but reverses to close higher than its open (Bullish).
* Failed 2 Up (Short): Occurs when a candle creates a New High (taking out the previous candle's high) but reverses to close lower than its open (Bearish).
3. Proximity Filtering
The Proximity Engine acts as a filter. A label will appear and will only be valid if the price is within a user-defined threshold of the BF lines. Users can define this "strike zone" via:
* Percent / Points / Ticks: Static distance from the level.
* ATR Multiple: Volatility-adjusted distance, ensuring the zone expands or contracts based on current market conditions.
Key Features
* On-chart Visualization of Stop and Target Reference Levels: On-chart plotting of Stop Loss and Profit Targets (Target modes include Opposing BF Line, 50% Range, or Fixed Amount).
* Real-Time Statistics: An on-screen dashboard tracks Win Rate, Hit/Fail counts, and Risk-to-Reward ratios for the last N bars. Statistics reflect historical signal outcomes only and do not predict future performance.
* Visual Customization: Fully adjustable markers, line styles, and table positioning to fit any chart layout.
* Alerts: Integrated alert functionality for Long and Short triggers.
Usage Note
This tool is intended to help identify structural exhaustion. Like all technical indicators, it is most effective when used in conjunction with other forms of analysis (such as volume or higher-timeframe trend context). It does not constitute financial advice.
Daily Bias Trade Manager [MarkitTick]💡 The Daily Bias Trade Manager is a sophisticated technical analysis suite designed to automate the identification of high-probability intraday setups based on liquidity concepts and structural shifts. By synthesizing Previous Day High/Low (PDH/PDL) interactions with momentum confirmation and strict risk management protocols, this tool assists traders in navigating the "Daily Bias." It moves beyond simple signal generation by offering a complete trade management visualization system, projecting entries, stop losses, and take-profit levels directly onto the chart in real-time.
✨ Originality and Utility
This script distinguishes itself by integrating institutional price action theory—specifically Liquidity Sweeps and Change in State of Delivery (CISD)—with mechanical filtering. While many indicators simply highlight highs and lows, the Daily Bias Trade Manager validates these levels by analyzing what happens *after* price tests them.
It solves a common problem for intraday traders: "Analysis Paralysis." By automating the detection of structure breaks (MSS) and Fair Value Gaps (FVG) following a sweep of daily liquidity, it provides an objective framework for entry. Furthermore, the built-in "Position Box" feature removes the guesswork from trade execution by instantly calculating risk-to-reward ratios and visualizing them, allowing traders to see the feasibility of a trade before execution.
🔬 Methodology and Concepts
The core logic operates on a sequential detection model:
Liquidity Identification: The script first plots the Previous Day High (PDH) and Previous Day Low (PDL). These are critical institutional reference points where stop-loss orders (liquidity) often reside.
The Sweep: A "Sweep" is confirmed when price breaches a PDH/PDL but fails to sustain the breakout, closing back inside the previous day's range. This suggests a "Fake-out" or liquidity grab, often a precursor to a reversal.
Change in State of Delivery (CISD): Following a sweep, the script monitors local market structure. It looks for a decisive close past a recent swing point (Swing High for shorts, Swing Low for longs) within a user-defined bar window. This confirms that the counter-trend move has momentum.
Confluence Filtering: To reduce false positives, the engine applies optional filters:
RVOL (Relative Volume): Ensures the sweep occurred on significant volume (Climax behavior).
RSI Momentum: Verifies that momentum supports the reversal direction.
Trend Filter: Uses a long-term EMA to ensure trades align with the broader market direction.
Entry Model: Upon validation, the script calculates an entry at the close (or optionally at a Fair Value Gap), places a Stop Loss at the sweep extreme, and projects three Take Profit targets based on configurable R:R ratios.
🎨 Visual Guide
The indicator uses a distinct color-coded system to keep the chart clean yet informative:
● Liquidity Levels & Sweeps
Orange/Blue Lines: Represent the PDH (Previous Day High) and PDL (Previous Day Low).
Teal Shaded Zones: Indicate a "Buy-Side Sweep" (Price took highs and rejected).
Red Shaded Zones: Indicate a "Sell-Side Sweep" (Price took lows and rejected).
● Position Management Boxes
When a signal triggers, a structured box appears:
Solid Gray Line: The theoretical Entry Price.
Solid Red Line: The Stop Loss (SL), typically placed at the swing high/low of the sweep.
Dashed Blue Lines: Represent TP1, TP2, and TP3 targets based on Reward-to-Risk settings.
Labels: Data tags on the right side of the box show exact price coordinates for Entry, SL, and Targets.
● Signals & Clouds
Green "BUY" Labels: Appear below the bar when a bullish sweep and structural shift are confirmed.
Red "SELL" Labels: Appear above the bar when a bearish sweep is validated.
Yellow Clouds: Highlight Fair Value Gaps (FVG) used for entry confluence or retests.
● Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Dashboard
A panel (default: Top Right) displays the status of up to three higher timeframes.
Trend: Shows "BULL" or "BEAR" based on EMA alignment.
Liquidity: Indicates if the timeframe is "Taking Buy Liq", "Taking Sell Liq", or "Inside Range".
📖 How to Use
● Bullish Reversal Setup
Wait for price to drop below the Blue PDL Line.
Look for a Red Sell-Side Sweep Zone to form, indicating price has rejected lower prices.
Wait for the Green BUY Signal . This confirms a shift in structure (CISD) back to the upside.
Observe the Position Box. If the Risk/Reward is favorable (targets are within reasonable reach), consider the trade.
Optional: Use the "Dynamic Targets" setting to target the previous swing high instead of a fixed ratio.
● Bearish Reversal Setup
Wait for price to rally above the Orange PDH Line.
Look for a Teal Buy-Side Sweep Zone .
Wait for the Red SELL Signal confirming the rejection.
Ensure the dashboard shows alignment (e.g., Higher Timeframe Trend is Bearish) for higher probability.
● Trade Management
Enable the "ATR Trailing Stop" in settings to have the Stop Loss line dynamically adjust as price moves in your favor, locking in potential gains.
⚙️ Inputs and Settings
● General & Display
Show Daily Liquidity: Toggles the PDH/PDL lines.
Max Signals/Zones: Limits the visual clutter by restricting historical shapes.
● Detection Logic
Swing Detection Length: Controls the sensitivity of pivot points. Higher numbers = fewer, more significant swings.
CISD Window: How many bars after a sweep are allowed for the structure shift to occur.
Use FVG Entry: If true, the signal waits for a retest of a gap rather than entering immediately at the close.
● Filters
Volume (RVOL): Requires the sweep candle volume to be X times larger than average.
Trend Filter: Only allows Buy signals above the EMA and Sell signals below it.
Session Filter: Restricts signals to specific hours (e.g., New York Killzone).
● Targets & Management
Target R:R: Sets the multiplier for TP1, TP2, TP3 relative to the stop loss distance.
Use Dynamic Targets: Targets structural liquidity (Previous Highs/Lows) instead of fixed math ratios.
ATR Trailing Stop: Activates the trailing stop mechanism.
🔍 Deconstruction of the Underlying Scientific and Academic Framework
This indicator is grounded in the principles of Market Microstructure and Mean Reversion theory .
1. Liquidity Pools & Stop Runs:
Academic literature on market microstructure suggests that order flow clusters around obvious visual references (PDH/PDL). Large market participants often utilize this "resting liquidity" to fill large block orders with minimal slippage. The "Sweep" logic detects this absorption phase.
2. Volatility Breakout vs. Fake-out:
The script differentiates between a genuine breakout and a mean-reverting "fake-out" by analyzing the Close relative to the Range . A close back within the prior day's range after a breach signifies a failure of auction in the new territory, statistically increasing the probability of a reversion to the mean (equilibrium).
3. Momentum Validation (RSI & RVOL):
By integrating Relative Volume (RVOL) and RSI, the script applies statistical significance testing to the price action. High volume at a range extreme without price progress (the sweep) indicates "Stopping Volume" or absorption, a key concept in Volume Spread Analysis (VSA).

CTR Weekly MA + 1D MA (v1)I built this simple pine script to help me trade on the lower timeframe (1d) while still showing my key weekly moving averages to help me trade with the macro trend.
Rules for trading...
Steps for taking a Short position:
1. Wait for all 3 weekly moving averages to be in alignment (8EMA<21SMA<50SMA). When these aligned the candles will change to bright red, meaning bearish.
2. Wait for a pullback to the 1 Day 21SMA. When a candle touches the 21SMA, that candle will change color to white. This will be your alert to get ready to enter into a short.
3. On the next candle you can then take a short position as long as that candle is below the 21SMA, if not, wait for the net daily candle to close. If that is below the 21SMA you can then enter into a short on the opening of the next daily candle.
I built this to trade the Bear Market but this same method can also work in a Bull Market but just do the opposite.
Relative Strength Leadership Engine v2.0Relative Strength Leadership Engine v2.0OverviewThe Relative Strength Leadership Engine v2.0 is a context-first diagnostic tool designed to identify true market leadership. Instead of simple ratio lines, this script employs a multi-layered scoring model to determine if a symbol is truly outperforming its benchmark (e.g., SPY) or simply riding market beta.The Problem It SolvesMany relative strength indicators fail to distinguish between idiosyncratic leadership and market correlation. A stock might look strong simply because it is a high-beta names moving in lockstep with a rising index. This engine uses Pearson Correlation Filtering and Volatility Normalization to decouple these factors.How It Works (The Math)To ensure full transparency for the TradingView community, the "Leadership Score" (0–100) is calculated based on four proprietary technical pillars:Baseline Alignment (30 pts): Measures if the $Price / Benchmark$ ratio is above its 21-period EMA.Volatility-Normalized Momentum (25 pts): We calculate a Z-score of the RS slope and divide it by the asset's ATR % of price. This ensures momentum is measured by "clean" price action rather than high-beta volatility spikes.Beta-Decoupling (20 pts): Using ta.correlation, the script penalizes "Market Huggers." Points are awarded when a stock shows strength independent of the benchmark's immediate fluctuations.Freshness & Highs (25 pts): Points are awarded for proximity to 252-day relative strength highs, identifying stocks entering a "Power Zone" of leadership.Interpreting the StatesThe dashboard in the bottom-right identifies three distinct permission states:ENGAGE (Score 80+): Full leadership permission. The asset is outperforming with idiosyncratic strength and clean momentum (See FDX example in the gallery).OBSERVE (Score 50–79): Leadership is present but aging or overly correlated to the market (See MU example in the gallery).STAND DOWN (Score <50): Leadership is broken; the asset is a relative laggard (See CBLL example in the gallery).Technical FeaturesMulti-Timeframe Validation: Optional Weekly/Monthly RS confirmation to filter out "noise."Benchmark Timing Filter: A built-in gate that checks if the broader market (Benchmark) is in a "Risk-Off" regime.Non-Repainting: All security calls use lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off to ensure historical accuracy.Customizable UI: Toggle the dashboard on/off via the "Style" menu for a cleaner workspace.DisclaimerThis script is an informational diagnostic tool and does not generate trade signals, entries, or exits.

CTR Weekly MA TradingI built this simple pine script to help me trade on the lower timeframe (1d) while still showing my key weekly moving averages to help me trade with the macro trend.
Rules for trading...
Steps for taking a Short position:
1. Wait for all 3 weekly moving averages to be in alignment (8EMA<21SMA<50SMA). When these aligned the candles will change to bright red, meaning bearish.
2. Wait for a pullback to the 1 Day 21SMA. When a candle touches the 21SMA, that candle will change color to white. This will be your alert to get ready to enter into a short.
3. On the next candle you can then take a short position as long as that candle is below the 21SMA, if not, wait for the net daily candle to close. If that is below the 21SMA you can then enter into a short on the opening of the next daily candle.
I built this to trade the Bear Market but this same method can also work in a Bull Market but just do the opposite.
Weekly MAs + 1d 21 SMAThis indicator watches for weekly bullish and bearish alignment on your daily chart. It also triggers a long or short when price touches the 1 Day 21 SMA. It helps ensures a high quality trade setup by trading in a lower timeframe (the 1 Day) while working off stronger signals on the 1 Week timeframe, which are the 3 key moving averages (1W 8 EMA, 1W 21SMA, 1W 50SMA).
The trading rule is as followed:
Short Position:
1. Wait for the 1 week moving averages to align bearish (8 EMA < 21 SMA < 50 SMA). All daily candles will then turn bright red.
2. Wait for a pullback to the 1 Day 21 SMA. Once the wick or body touches this SMA, that candle will turn white. This is the signal that will alert you to be ready to enter into a short position.
3.a. If the candle that changed to white is below the 1 Day 21 SMA, you can enter a short position on the opening of the next daily candle.
3.b. If the candle that changed to white is above the 1Day 21 SMA, wait for the close of the next daily candle. If that candle is below the 21 SMA, enter into your short position at the opening of the next daily candle.
For long positions, you do the same as above but in opposite order.
Volume Weighted LR Z ScoreThis indicator calculates the Volume Weighted Linear Regression
Z-Score (VWLRZS). Unlike a standard Z-Score which measures
deviation from a static mean, this oscillator measures the
statistical distance of price from a dynamic Volume-Weighted
Linear Regression Line (Analysis of Residuals).
Key Features:
1. **Volatility Decomposition:** The indicator separates volatility
based on the 'Estimate Bar Statistics' option.
- **Standard Mode (`Estimate Bar Statistics` = OFF):** Calculates
standard Regression Residuals using the selected `Source`
for both the regression line (baseline) and the signal.
- **Decomposition Mode (`Estimate Bar Statistics` = ON):**
Uses a hybrid statistical approach:
a) **The Model (Baseline):** Uses an estimator to calculate
the 'within-bar' mean and fits the Linear Regression
through these statistical centers. This creates a
stable, trend-following expectation model.
b) **The Signal (Observation):** Compares the actual `Source`
(e.g., Close) against this regression line.
(Result: A Z-Score that measures deviations from the current
trend slope rather than a flat average).
2. **Visual Decomposition Logic:** Total Standard Deviation (of
Residuals) is the primary metric displayed. Since Standard
Deviations are not linearly additive (sqrt(a+b) != sqrt(a)+sqrt(b)),
this indicator calculates the *exact* Total Z-Score and partitions
the area underneath based on the Variance Ratio. This ensures the
displayed total volatility remains mathematically accurate while
showing relative composition.
3. **Normalization (Exponential Regression):** Includes an optional
'Normalize' mode. When enabled, the indicator calculates the
Linear Regression on logarithmic data. Mathematically, this
transforms the baseline into an **Exponential Regression Curve**,
making it ideal for analyzing assets with compounding growth
characteristics (constant percentage trend).
4. **Full Divergence Suite (Class A, B, C):** The indicator's
primary feature is its integrated divergence engine. It
automatically detects and plots all three major divergence
classes between price and the Z-Score:
- Regular (A): Signals potential trend exhaustion and reversals.
- Hidden (B): Signals potential trend continuations during pullbacks.
- Exaggerated (C): Signals weakness at double tops/bottoms.
5. **Divergence Filtering and Visualization:**
- **Price Tolerance Filter:** Divergence detection is enhanced
with a percentage-based price tolerance (`pivPrcTol`) to
filter out insignificant market noise, leading to more
robust signals.
- **Persistent Visualization:** Divergence markers are plotted
for the entire duration of the signal and are visually
anchored to the oscillator level of the confirming pivot.
- **Flexible Pivot Algorithms:** Supports various underlying
mathematical models for pivot detection provided by the
core library
6. **Note on Confirmation (Lag):** Divergence signals rely on a
pivot confirmation method to ensure they do not repaint.
- The **Start** of a divergence is only detected *after* the
confirming pivot is fully formed (a delay based on
`Pivot Right Bars`).
- The **End** of a divergence is detected either instantly
(if the signal is invalidated by price action) or with
a delay (when a new, non-divergent pivot is confirmed).
7. **Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:**
- **MTF Calculation:** The Z-Score line *itself* can be calculated on a
higher timeframe, with standard options to handle gaps
(`Fill Gaps`) and prevent repainting (`Wait for...`).
- **Limitation:** The Divergence detection engine (`pivDiv`)
is designed for the active timeframe. Using it in MTF mode
is not recommended as step-data can lead to inaccurate
pivot detection.
8. **Integrated Alerts:** Includes a comprehensive set of built-in
alerts for the Z-Score crossing the neutral line, the configured
Threshold levels, and the start/end of all divergence types.

Multi-Timeframe S&R V1The Multi-Timeframe S&R V1 is a clean and powerful technical indicator designed to visualize key Support and Resistance (S&R) levels from multiple timeframes directly on your chart.
Instead of drawing lines manually, this tool automates the process by plotting critical levels from the previous day, week, and month.
This indicator is ideal for traders focusing on Price Action, Market Structure (HH/HL), or Mean Reversion strategies.
Key Features:
Daily Levels (D): Displays yesterday's High and Low, along with the current Daily Open. Essential for intraday trading and identifying the daily bias.
Weekly Levels (W): Plots the High and Low from the previous week. These often act as major psychological levels where significant price reactions occur.
Monthly Levels (M): Shows the High and Low of the previous month for a macro perspective on the market.
Dynamic Labels: Each level is clearly labeled on the right side of the chart (e.g., "D-high", "W-low", "M-high") for instant identification.
Fully Customizable: Toggle the visibility of each timeframe (D, W, M) independently via the settings to keep your chart clean and focused.
Visual Hierarchy: Lines are distinguished by varying thicknesses and colors, allowing you to assess the importance of a level at a single glance.
How to Use:
Support & Resistance: Use these lines as potential bounce or breakout zones.
Trend Confirmation: Combine these levels with your own Market Structure analysis (Higher Highs / Higher Lows).
Targeting: Utilize weekly or monthly extremes as Take Profit targets or Stop Loss reference points.
Beta Coefficient & RSI Table (Midcaps vs Majors)Beta Coefficient & RSI Table (Midcaps vs Majors)
This script builds a comprehensive beta comparison framework between midcap assets and majors for benchmarks, enhanced with a simple RSI midline strategy for clean entry and exit signaling.
In addition to beta-based relative analysis, the script:
Computes raw RSI values on midcap assets for standalone trend qualification
Evaluates every midcap/major ratio combination using the same RSI-based regime logic
Produces binary (0 / 1) signals suitable for systematic filtering and automation
Designed with automation in mind, this script is perfect for daily alerts that can send webhooks externally, and is fully compatible to reliably daily close updates for:
Ratio beta comparisons (midcaps vs majors)
Binary RSI crossover signals on each ratio
Base midcap trend state (RSI > 45 indicating an active uptrend) - 45 made for a slightly faster entry signal if used as a preliminary filter
This makes the table ideal for automated system building, signal aggregates, and hands-off portfolio logic.

Alg0 Hal0 RSI 4555
The Alg0 ۞ Hal0 RSI 4555 is a trend-following momentum indicator designed to capture high-probability entries during market pullbacks. It combines a customizable Trend Filter (Moving Average) with a specialized "Armed & Triggered" RSI logic to avoid choppy markets and fakeouts.
1. How the Logic Works
This indicator uses a two-step process to generate signals, ensuring you only enter when momentum is confirmed.
The Trend Filter: The background color tells you the primary trend. If the price is above the Moving Average, the background is Green (Bullish). If below, it is Red (Bearish).
The "Arming" Phase: To prevent chasing "overbought" prices, the script must first see a pullback.
Longs: RSI must drop below 40 while the trend is Bullish.
Shorts: RSI must rise above 60 while the trend is Bearish.
The Trigger: Once "Armed," the script waits for a momentum shift.
LONG Signal: RSI crosses above 55.
SHORT Signal: RSI crosses below 45.
2. Key Visual Features
Dynamic Background: Instantly identifies the macro trend based on your chosen MA (SMA, EMA, HMA, WMA, or ALMA).
Momentum Labels: "LONG" and "SHORT" labels appear directly on the chart when all conditions are met.
Divergence Detection: Automatically plots Bullish and Bearish divergences to warn you of potential trend exhaustion.
Customizable Levels: The four key RSI levels (60, 55, 45, 40) are fully adjustable to fit different assets or timeframes.
3. Settings Guide
RSI Settings: Adjust the RSI length (default is 14) and toggle Divergence labels on/off.
Background Logic: Choose your preferred Moving Average style. ALMA is recommended for the smoothest trend filtering, while SMA/EMA are better for classic trend following.
Custom Levels: Fine-tune the 45/55 trigger points. For more aggressive entries, move these closer to the 50-midline. For more conservative entries, spread them further apart.
4. Best Practices
The "Neutral Zone": The area between 45 and 55 is the "No Man's Land." Wait for a clean candle close and a label before entering a trade.
Risk Management: Use the Recent Swing High/Low or the Trend MA as a logical stop-loss level.
VWAP Confluence Pro█ OVERVIEW
VWAP Confluence Pro is a high-precision trading indicator that combines VWAP with multiple confirmation filters to generate reliable buy and sell signals. Unlike basic VWAP crossover strategies that produce excessive noise, this indicator requires alignment across six independent conditions before triggering a signal, dramatically reducing false entries while capturing high-probability setups.
█ FEATURES
Multi-Layer Confirmation System
The indicator employs a strict confluence approach requiring all of the following conditions to align:
- VWAP Cross: Price must cross above (buy) or below (sell) the VWAP line
- VWAP Trend: The VWAP itself must be rising for buys or falling for sells, confirming directional bias
- Price Trend: A 20-period moving average filter ensures trades align with the prevailing trend
- Volume Confirmation: Signals only trigger when volume exceeds 1.5x the 20-bar average, indicating institutional participation
- RSI Filter: Buys require RSI between 50-60 (bullish momentum without overbought conditions), sells require 40-50 (bearish momentum without oversold conditions)
- MACD Momentum: MACD must confirm directional bias with the MACD line above the signal line for buys, below for sells
Signal Cooldown Period
A configurable cooldown mechanism (default 10 bars) prevents signal clustering and overtrading by ensuring adequate spacing between alerts. This feature is critical for maintaining discipline and avoiding choppy market conditions.
Visual Elements
- Purple VWAP Line: The cornerstone of the strategy, plotted with high visibility
- Green Up Arrows: Buy signals appear below price candles when all conditions align
- Red Down Arrows: Sell signals appear above price candles when all conditions align
- Blue Trend MA: A semi-transparent moving average provides visual trend context
- Background Shading: Subtle green/red backgrounds indicate when multiple confluence factors are aligned, even without a cross
█ HOW TO USE
Timeframe Selection
This indicator is optimized for intraday trading on 1-minute to 15-minute charts, where VWAP is most effective. It can also be used on hourly charts for swing trade entries or daily charts with appropriate parameter adjustments.
Parameter Optimization
All key parameters are customizable through the indicator settings:
- VWAP Deviation %: Controls sensitivity (default 0.8%). Lower values = stricter signals
- Volume Multiplier: Defines volume threshold (default 1.5x). Higher values = stronger volume confirmation required
- Trend Filter Length: Moving average period (default 20). Adjust based on your timeframe
- Cooldown Period: Minimum bars between signals (default 10). Increase for slower markets
- RSI/MACD Settings: Standard values provided, adjust for specific instruments if needed
Trading Strategy
1 — Wait for a signal arrow to appear (green for buy, red for sell)
2 — Confirm the background shading supports the signal direction
3 — Enter on the close of the signal candle or the open of the next candle
4 — Set stop loss below/above the recent swing low/high or the VWAP line
5 — Take profit at logical resistance/support levels or when opposing confluence develops
Best Practices
- Only take long trades when price is above a rising VWAP
- Only take short trades when price is below a falling VWAP
- Avoid trading during low volume periods (first/last 15 minutes of sessions)
- Use the background shading to gauge overall market bias between signals
- Consider increasing the cooldown period in choppy or range-bound conditions
█ LIMITATIONS
- This indicator is designed for trending markets and will produce fewer signals during consolidation periods
- The strict confluence requirements mean you may miss some valid moves in exchange for higher signal quality
- VWAP resets at the start of each session, making it less reliable on 24-hour markets without session breaks (use anchored VWAP for crypto/forex)
- Requires real-time volume data to function properly, less effective on thinly traded instruments
- Not suitable for scalping strategies requiring rapid entries, as the cooldown mechanism intentionally limits signal frequency
█ NOTES
Signal Quality Over Quantity
This indicator prioritizes accuracy over frequency. You may only see 1-3 signals per session on lower timeframes, but each signal represents a setup where trend, momentum, and volume are all aligned. This approach is designed to keep you out of low-probability trades and focused on the best opportunities.
Customization Encouraged
The default parameters provide a solid foundation, but different instruments and timeframes may benefit from optimization. Test the indicator across various settings to find what works best for your specific trading style and markets.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
This indicator synthesizes best practices from institutional VWAP trading with momentum confirmation from RSI and MACD. By requiring multiple independent factors to align, it filters out the noise common in single-indicator systems and focuses on setups where probability favors directional moves.
