PCCE + False Breakout DetectorPCCE + False Breakout Detector
Type: Invite‑Only Indicator (closed source)
Purpose: Identify volatility compression (“coil”) and the first expansion after it, while filtering failed breakouts (bull/bear traps).
What it does — in plain language
This tool unifies two complementary behaviours that often appear back‑to‑back around strong moves:
1. Price Coil Compression & Expansion (PCCE) – finds compact ranges created by shrinking candle bodies, wick dominance, and contracting range relative to recent history. When price expands out of that coil with strength, it prints a Burst↑ / Burst↓ label.
2. False Breakout Detection – monitors recent swing extremes. If price closes beyond a prior high/low but re‑enters that range within a short window, it marks a trap (❌ red for failed bullish breakout, ❌ green for failed bearish breakout).
Why combine them?
PCCE tells you where the next move is likely brewing; the trap filter validates whether the breakout is genuine or failing. Used together they turn raw breakouts into structured, risk‑aware opportunities.
How it works — concepts behind the calculations
1) Detecting “Coil” (compression)
• Body contraction: Count of consecutive bars where |close-open| is decreasing within a sliding window.
• Wick dominance: Average (upper wick + lower wick) / body must exceed a threshold → indecision/liquidity probing.
• Relative range: Current high‑low over the window must be smaller than the average of prior windows (tight market).
• Coil zone: When the above conditions align, the most recent high/low envelope defines the coil’s bounds.
2) Confirming “Burst” (expansion)
A breakout through the coil high/low is only labelled when:
• Body thrust: current body > moving‑average body × multiplier (large real body).
• Relative volume: volume > moving‑average volume × multiplier (participation filter).
• Trend alignment (optional): close vs EMA to avoid counter‑trend bursts.
• Cooldown: minimum bars between signals to reduce clustering.
Result: Burst↑ if closing beyond coil high with thrust; Burst↓ if closing beyond coil low with thrust.
3) Flagging failed breakouts (traps)
• Track recent swing high/low from a lookback excluding the current bar.
• If a bar closes beyond that swing but within N bars price closes back inside the swing range → flag a trap:
• Bull trap: ❌ red above bar (break above failed)
• Bear trap: ❌ green below bar (break below failed)
⸻
What you see on the chart
• Coil zone: a shaded box (tight range envelope).
• Burst labels: Burst↑ (triangle up) and Burst↓ (triangle down) at confirmed expansion bars.
• Trap markers: ❌ red (failed bullish breakout), ❌ green (failed bearish breakout).
• Alerts: “Burst Up”, “Burst Down” (fires on bar close only).
⸻
How to use it
1. Preparation : When a coil box forms, mark the zone and wait.
2. Trigger : A Burst label confirms the first expansion with thrust/volume; treat it as an entry cue only within your own plan.
3. Validation : If a ❌ trap appears shortly after a break, treat it as caution/exit info; the breakout is failing.
4. Context : Best on 15m–4H. Combine with higher‑timeframe bias, nearby S/R, and risk controls.
5. Parameters to tune :
• Coil window, wick‑to‑body threshold, and range tightness
• Body/volume multipliers
• EMA trend filter on/off
• Trap lookback and confirmation bars
• Cooldown bars
⸻
Originality & usefulness
• Behaviour‑first compression scoring: Coil detection blends monotonic body shrink, wick dominance, and relative range contraction—not generic bands or a single oscillator.
• Two‑stage discipline: A burst is not just any break; it requires body thrust + relative volume (+ optional trend) to reduce noise.
• Immediate invalidation layer: The trap filter is evaluated right after the burst context, turning breakouts into risk‑aware signals rather than blind entries.
• Operator controls: Cooldown + multipliers let traders adapt the strictness to instrument/session behaviour.
⸻
Repainting & limitations
• Signals are evaluated on bar close; no lookahead, no request.security() with lookahead_on.
• Coil boxes while forming can update until confirmed; Burst/Trap labels do not repaint after their bar closes.
• News spikes and illiquid hours can still create noise; adjust multipliers and cooldown for your market.

Trend Display Table (with Change Alerts)📌 Indicator: Trend Display Table (with Change Alerts)
This indicator helps identify trend direction based on a 15-minute 20 SMA compared against a 10 EMA applied to that SMA.
Trend Logic:
Bullish → 20 SMA crosses above 10 EMA (on SMA values)
Bearish → 20 SMA crosses below 10 EMA (on SMA values)
Neutral → No crossover (trend continues from previous state)
Display:
A compact trend table appears on the chart (top-right), showing the current trend with customizable colors, font size, and background.
Alerts:
Alerts are triggered only when the trend changes (from Bullish → Bearish or Bearish → Bullish).
This prevents repeated alerts on every bar.
✅ Useful for:
Confirming higher timeframe trend bias
Filtering trades in choppy markets
Getting notified instantly when the trend flips
Clean Volume Bars (Green/Red + Above Avg Highlight)📊 Clean Volume Bars (Green/Red + Above Avg Highlight)
This script provides a clearer view of market volume by combining standard green/red volume bars with dynamic highlights for above-average activity.
Features:
✅ Green / Red Volume Bars – standard visualization:
Green when the candle closes higher than it opened
Red when the candle closes lower than it opened
✅ Average Volume Line – a simple moving average (default 20 periods) to track relative volume.
✅ Above Average Highlights – bars that exceed the average volume are emphasized:
White for above-average bullish volume
Black for above-average bearish volume
How to Use:
Look for white volume spikes during up candles → potential strong bullish activity.
Watch for black volume spikes during down candles → potential strong bearish pressure.
Combine with price action, trend, or other indicators for confluence (this is not a standalone trading system).

Volume Spikes + Daily VWAP SD BandsVolume Spikes + Daily VWAP SD Bands
This indicator combines volume spike detection to help traders identify potential absorption zones with daily VWAP and standard deviation bands , key price levels, continuation opportunities, and possible institutional bias.
Features:
Volume Spike Detection
Highlights candles with unusually high volume relative to a configurable SMA.
Optional filters:
Local highs/lows only (Only Use Valid Highs & Lows)
Candle shapes: Hammer / Shooter only
Candle color match: bullish spikes on green, bearish on red
Plots small circles above/below bars for bullish and bearish volume spikes.
Alerts available for both bullish and bearish spikes.
Interpretation: Volume spikes at local highs/lows can indicate absorption, where one side absorbs aggressive buying/selling pressure.
Daily VWAP
Calculates volume-weighted average price (VWAP) for the current day.
Optionally shows previous day’s VWAP for reference.
Plot lines are customizable with optional circles on lines for visual clarity.
Labels on the last bar show exact VWAP values.
Institutional Bias Insight: Price above both current and previous VWAPs may indicate bullish positioning; price below both VWAPs may indicate bearish positioning. Many professional traders consider this a clue to institutional bias, but it’s not guaranteed. Always confirm with volume, delta, or orderflow analysis.
Standard Deviation Bands
Optional x1 and x2 SD bands around the daily VWAP.
Visual fill between bands shows price volatility zones.
Can be used to identify potential support/resistance or absorption zones.
Use Case: Price bounces off first SD band may indicate continuation signals, especially when volume spikes occur at those levels.

Trojan Cycle: Dip & Profit Hunter📉 Crypto is changing. Your signals should too.
This script doesn’t try to outguess price — it helps you track capital rotation and flow behavior in alignment with the evolving macro structure of the digital asset market.
Trojan Cycle: Dip & Profit Hunter is a signal engine built to support and validate the capital rotation models outlined in the Trojan Cycle and Synthetic Rotation theses — available via RWCS_LTD’s published charts
It is not a classic “buy low, sell high” tool. It is a structural filter that uses price/volume statistics to surface accumulation zones, synthetic traps, and macro context shifts — all aligned with the institutionalization of crypto post-2024.
🧠 Purpose & Value
Crypto no longer follows the retail-led, halving-driven pattern of 2017 or 2021.
Instead, institutional infrastructure, regulatory filters, and equity-market Trojan horses define the new path of capital.
This tool helps you visualize that path by interpreting behavior through statistical imbalances and real-time momentum signals.
Use it to:
Track where capital is accumulating or exiting
Identify signals consistent with true cycle rotation (vs. synthetic traps)
Validate your macro view with real-time statistical context
🔍 How It Works
The engine combines four signal layers:
1. Z-Score Logic
- Measures how far price and volume have deviated from their mean
- Detects dips, blowoffs, and exhaustion zones
2. Percentile Logic
- Compares current price and volume to historical rank distribution
- Flags statistically rare conditions (e.g. bottom 10% price, top 90% volume)
3. Combined Context Engine
- Integrates both models to generate one of 36 unique output states
- Each state provides a labeled market context (e.g., 🟢 Confluent Buy, 🔴 Confluent Sell, 🧨 Synthetic Trap )
4. Momentum Spread & Divergence
- Measures whether price is leading volume (trap risk) or volume is leading price (accumulation)
- Outputs intuitive momentum context with emoji-coded alerts
📋 What You See
🧠 Contextual Table UI with key Z-Scores, percentiles, signals, and market commentary
🎯 Emoji-coded signals to quickly grasp high-probability setups or risk zones
🌊 Optional overlays: price/volume divergence, momentum spread
🎨 Visual table customization (size, position) and chart highlights for signal clarity
🔔 Alert System
✅ Single dynamic alert using alert() that only fires when signal context changes
Prevents alert fatigue and allows clean webhook/automation integration
🧭 Use Cases
For macro cycle traders: Track where we are in the Trojan Cycle using statistical context
For thesis explorers: Use the 36-output signal map to match against your rotation thesis
For capital rotation watchers: Identify structural setups consistent with ETF-driven or compliance-filtered flow
For narrative skeptics: Avoid synthetic altseason traps where volume lags or flow dries up
🧪 Suggested Pairing for Thesis Validation
To use this tool as part of a thesis-confirmation framework , pair it with:
BTC.D — Bitcoin Dominance
ETH/BTC — Ethereum strength vs. Bitcoin
TOTALE100/ETH — Altcoin strength relative to ETH
RWCS_LTD’s published charts and macro cycle models
🏁 Final Note
Crypto has matured. So should your signals.
This tool doesn’t try to game the next 2 candles. It helps you understand the current phase in a compliance-filtered, institutionalized rotation model.
It’s not built for hype — it’s built for conviction.
Explore the thesis → Validate the structure → Trade with clarity.
🚨 Disclaimer
This script is not financial advice. It is an analytical tool designed to support market structure research and rotation thesis validation. Use this as part of a broader framework including technical structure, dominance charts, and macro data.
Fear index by Clarity ChartsFear Index – Market Sentiment Strength Meter
The Fear Index is a unique, custom-built indicator designed to visualize market sentiment shifts by highlighting periods of fear (red) and confidence (green) directly on your chart. Unlike traditional oscillators, this tool combines price action dynamics with volume intensity to detect when participants are aggressively selling or confidently buying.
How to Use:
Red spikes indicate rising fear, panic, or heavy selling pressure – potential trend reversals or breakdown signals.
Green spikes highlight confidence, strength, or accumulation – signaling possible recovery or continuation.
Best used with trend analysis, support/resistance zones, and volume confirmation for high-probability setups.
Why this is different:
Not a copy of any existing indicator – this is a brand-new formula.
Helps you anticipate market mood before major price swings.
Works across multiple timeframes and instruments (indices, stocks, crypto, forex).
Pro Tip: Combine this with EMA/Trend filters for powerful trade entries and exits.

Volume & Turnover HUD DisplayThis indicator highlights the latest candle’s trading activity directly on your chart. It displays the current candle’s volume in a large, easy-to-read format at the bottom-left corner of the screen, ensuring quick visibility without cluttering the chart.
An optional feature (enabled by default) also calculates and shows the turnover, derived from Volume × VWAP, expressed in crores (₹). This helps traders instantly assess both participation and the monetary value being traded in real time.
Ideal for intraday and swing traders who want a clear, at-a-glance view of volume and turnover strength to make faster decisions.
Volume % of Diluted Shares OutstandingIndicator does what it says - shows the volume traded per time frame as percentage of shares outstanding.
There are three scaling modes, see below.
Absolute (0–100%+) → The line values are the true % of diluted shares traded.
If the plot is at 12, that means 12% of all diluted shares traded that day.
Auto-range (absolute) → The line values are still the true % of shares traded (the y-axis is in real percentages).
But the reference lines (25/50/75/100) are not literal percentages anymore; they are markers at fractions of the local min-to-max range.
So your blue bars are real (e.g., 12% really is 12%), but the dotted lines are relative.
Normalize to 100 → The line values are not the true % anymore.
Everything is re-expressed as a fraction of the recent maximum, so 100 = “highest in the lookback window,” not “100% of shares.”
If the true max was 30% of shares traded, and today is 15%, then the plot will show 50 (because 15 is half of 30).
BDNS ORB Strategy v3BDNS Opening Range Breakout Strategy
What This Strategy Does This strategy implements an Opening Range Breakout (ORB) system that identifies the high and low prices during a customizable opening period, then trades breakouts above or below these levels with momentum confirmation. The strategy goes beyond basic ORB concepts by incorporating ADX momentum filtering, VWAP directional bias, dynamic position sizing, and sophisticated exit management including breakeven moves and trailing stops.
Core Strategy Logic
Opening Range Definition: The strategy tracks price action during a user-defined opening period (default: 9:30-9:35 AM ET for 5 minutes). During this time, blue horizontal lines appear marking the session high and low. A yellow background highlights this opening range period.
Breakout Detection: After the opening range completes, green and red horizontal lines appear showing the actual entry levels - these are offset from the range boundaries by a configurable number of ticks (default: 24 ticks) to filter out false breakouts and ensure committed moves.
Entry Conditions: Trades trigger when price breaks through these offset levels during the trading window (green background, default until 10:30 AM ET), but only when:
ADX momentum indicator exceeds threshold (default 24.0) in the breakout direction
Price relationship to VWAP confirms directional bias (when VWAP filter enabled)
Daily trade limits haven't been reached
Large range filtering conditions are met
Visual Elements and Usage
Range Lines: Blue lines show the actual opening range boundaries. These appear immediately when the opening session begins.
Entry Levels: Green (long) and red (short) lines show where trades will trigger, appearing after the opening range completes.
Information Table: A data table appears in the top-right showing real-time strategy status including range size in ticks, ADX readings, filter status, trade counts, and momentum conditions.
Position Management:
When in a trade, colored circles appear showing:
Lime circles: Long position targets (T1, T2, T3)
Orange circles: Short position targets
Red circles: Stop loss levels
Blue crosses: Breakeven levels (when that feature activates)
Purple lines: Trailing stop levels (when position 3 trailing activates)
Background Colors:
Yellow: Opening range session active
Green: Trading window active
Purple: Large range day detected
Gray: Large range day being skipped
Position Management System
The strategy uses a three-tier exit approach:
Position 1: Takes partial profits at first target (default 50% of range size)
Position 2: Exits at second target (default 100% of range size)
Position 3: Either exits at third target or uses trailing stop after Position 2 wins
Breakeven Feature: When enabled and price reaches the breakeven trigger level, all stop losses move to a more favorable breakeven level instead of the original stop, protecting against giving back profits.
Trailing Stop System: After Position 2 hits its target, Position 3 automatically switches to a trailing stop that moves in the trader's favor as price continues trending.
Customization for Different Instruments
The default settings are configured for MNQ (Micro NASDAQ futures) but the ORB concept is highly customizable for any futures instrument and timeframe. Range duration, breakout offsets, and filter thresholds should be adjusted based on the specific instrument's volatility characteristics and typical intraday patterns.
Filter Usage Guidelines
ADX Momentum Filter: Essential for avoiding breakouts during consolidation. Higher thresholds (30+) for trending markets, lower (20-25) for more opportunities.
VWAP Filter: Helpful in trending conditions but may reduce trade frequency. Better to disable during range-bound or mean-reverting periods.
Large Range Filter: Critical risk management tool. When the opening range exceeds your threshold:
Skip: Avoids trades when stops would be too large
Fade: Trades mean reversion back into the range
Trade: Takes breakouts regardless (higher risk)
Range Size Considerations: Setting a large range threshold (200-400 ticks) helps avoid days when both sides of the range get tested before any meaningful breakout occurs, which often leads to whipsaws.
Risk Management Features
Dynamic Stops and Targets: All exit levels scale with the opening range size, ensuring risk/reward remains consistent regardless of daily volatility. A 100-tick range day will have proportionally smaller stops than a 300-tick range day.
Position Sizing: Configure contract amounts for each position tier based on account size and risk tolerance.
Daily Trade Limits: Prevents overtrading by limiting trades per direction per day.
Breakout Offset: The tick offset from range boundaries is crucial - too small creates false signals, too large misses good moves. Test different values based on your instrument's typical noise levels.
Advanced Features
Large Third Target: Set Target 3 to 300-500% to essentially hold runners indefinitely, using the trailing stop as the primary exit method for capturing extended trends.
Fade Trading: On large range days, the strategy can trade mean reversion when initial breakouts fail, often providing good counter-trend opportunities.
Time-Based Exits: All positions close at the end of the trading window, preventing overnight risk.
Strategy Properties Used
Initial Capital: $5,000 (realistic for micro contract trading)
Commission: $0.50 per contract (realistic retail rates)
Position Size: 100% of equity (manages risk through contract quantities and stop placement)
Default quantities: 3/1/1 contracts across the three positions
The default settings assume larger account sizes or proprietary trading firm accounts where higher risk tolerance is acceptable. With MNQ at $0.50 per tick, a typical 200-tick opening range with 75% stop loss (150 ticks) would risk $375 on a 5-contract position. For smaller retail accounts, consider reducing position sizes significantly - using only Position 1 (3 contracts) would risk $225, or even reducing to 1-2 total contracts to maintain appropriate risk levels relative to account size.
Getting Started Apply the strategy to your preferred instrument
Adjust the opening range time and duration for your market
Set appropriate breakout offset based on typical noise levels
Configure large range threshold based on your risk tolerance
Test filter combinations to find what works best for your trading style
Adjust contract quantities based on your account size and risk management rules
The strategy works best on liquid instruments with clear opening sessions and sufficient volatility to generate meaningful ranges. Results will vary significantly based on market conditions, parameter settings, and the specific instrument traded.

ATAI Volume Pressure Analyzer V 1.0 — Pure Up/DownATAI Volume Pressure Analyzer V 1.0 — Pure Up/Down
Overview
Volume is a foundational tool for understanding the supply–demand balance. Classic charts show only total volume and don’t tell us what portion came from buying (Up) versus selling (Down). The ATAI Volume Pressure Analyzer fills that gap. Built on Pine Script v6, it scans a lower timeframe to estimate Up/Down volume for each host‑timeframe candle, and presents “volume pressure” in a compact HUD table that’s comparable across symbols and timeframes.
1) Architecture & Global Settings
Global Period (P, bars)
A single global input P defines the computation window. All measures—host‑TF volume moving averages and the half‑window segment sums—use this length. Default: 55.
Timeframe Handling
The core of the indicator is estimating Up/Down volume using lower‑timeframe data. You can set a custom lower timeframe, or rely on auto‑selection:
◉ Second charts → 1S
◉ Intraday → 1 minute
◉ Daily → 5 minutes
◉ Otherwise → 60 minutes
Lower TFs give more precise estimates but shorter history; higher TFs approximate buy/sell splits but provide longer history. As a rule of thumb, scan thin symbols at 5–15m, and liquid symbols at 1m.
2) Up/Down Volume & Derived Series
The script uses TradingView’s library function tvta.requestUpAndDownVolume(lowerTf) to obtain three values:
◉ Up volume (buyers)
◉ Down volume (sellers)
◉ Delta (Up − Down)
From these we define:
◉ TF_buy = |Up volume|
◉ TF_sell = |Down volume|
◉ TF_tot = TF_buy + TF_sell
◉ TF_delta = TF_buy − TF_sell
A positive TF_delta indicates buyer dominance; a negative value indicates selling pressure. To smooth noise, simple moving averages of TF_buy and TF_sell are computed over P and used as baselines.
3) Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Half‑window segmentation
To track momentum shifts, the P‑bar window is split in half:
◉ C→B: the older half
◉ B→A: the newer half (toward the current bar)
For each half, the script sums buy, sell, and delta. Comparing the two halves reveals strengthening/weakening pressure. Example: if AtoB_delta < CtoB_delta, recent buying pressure has faded.
[ 4) HUD (Table) Display /i]
Colors & Appearance
Two main color inputs define the theme: a primary color and a negative color (used when Δ is negative). The panel background uses a translucent version of the primary color; borders use the solid primary color. Text defaults to the primary color and flips to the negative color when a block’s Δ is negative.
Layout
The HUD is a 4×5 table updated on the last bar of each candle:
◉ Row 1 (Meta): indicator name, P length, lower TF, host TF
◉ Row 2 (Host TF): current ↑Buy, ↓Sell, ΔDelta; plus Σ total and SMA(↑/↓)
◉ Row 3 (Segments): C→B and B→A blocks with ↑/↓/Δ
◉ Rows 4–5: reserved for advanced modules (Wings, α/β, OB/OS, Top
5) Advanced Modules
5.1 Wings
“Wings” visualize volume‑driven movement over C→B (left wing) and B→A (right wing) with top/bottom lines and a filled band. Slopes are ATR‑per‑bar normalized for cross‑symbol/TF comparability and converted to angles (degrees). Coloring mirrors HUD sign logic with a near‑zero threshold (default ~3°):
◉ Both lines rising → blue (bullish)
◉ Both falling → red (bearish)
◉ Mixed/near‑zero → gray
Left wing reflects the origin of the recent move; right wing reflects the current state.
5.2 α / β at Point B
We compute the oriented angle between the two wings at the midpoint B:
β is the bottom‑arc angle; α = 360° − β is the top‑arc angle.
◉ Large α (>180°) or small β (<180°) flags meaningful imbalance.
◉ Intuition: large α suggests potential selling pressure; small β implies fragile support. HUD cells highlight these conditions.
5.3 OB/OS Spike
OverBought/OverSold (OB/OS) labels appear when directional volume spikes align with a 7‑oscillator vote (RSI, Stoch, %R, CCI, MFI, DeMarker, StochRSI).
◉ OB label (red): unusually high sell volume + enough OB votes
◉ OS label (teal): unusually high buy volume + enough OS votes
Minimum votes and sync window are user‑configurable; dotted connectors can link labels to the candle wick.
5.4 Top3 Volume Peaks
Within the P window the script ranks the top three BUY peaks (B1–B3) and top three SELL peaks (S1–S3).
◉ B1 and S1 are drawn as horizontal resistance (at B1 High) and support (at S1 Low) zones with adjustable thickness (ticks/percent/ATR).
◉ The HUD dedicates six cells to show ↑/↓/Δ for each rank, and prints the exact High (B1) and Low (S1) inline in their cells.
6) Reading the HUD — A Quick Checklist
◉ Meta: Confirm P and both timeframes (host & lower).
◉ Host TF block: Compare current ↑/↓/Δ against their SMAs.
◉ Segments: Contrast C→B vs B→A deltas to gauge momentum change.
◉ Wings: Right‑wing color/angle = now; left wing = recent origin.
◉ α / β: Look for α > 180° or β < 180° as imbalance cues.
◉ OB/OS: Note labels, color (red/teal), and the vote count.
◉Top3: Keep B1 (resistance) and S1 (support) on your radar.
Use these together to sketch scenarios and invalidation levels; never rely on a single signal in isolation.
[ 7) Example Highlights (What the table conveys) /i]
◉ Row 1 shows the indicator name, the analysis length P (default 55), and both TFs used for computation and display.
◉ B1 / S1 blocks summarize each side’s peak within the window, with Δ indicating buyer/seller dominance at that peak and inline price (B1 High / S1 Low) for actionable levels.
◉ Angle cells for each wing report the top/bottom line angles vs. the horizontal, reflecting the directional posture.
◉ Ranks B2/B3 and S2/S3 extend context beyond the top peak on each side.
◉ α / β cells quantify the orientation gap at B; changes reflect shifting buyer/seller influence on trend strength.
Together these visuals often reveal whether the “wings” resemble a strong, upward‑tilted arm supported by buyer volume—but always corroborate with your broader toolkit
8) Practical Tips & Tuning
◉ Choose P by market structure. For daily charts, 34–89 bars often works well.
◉ Lower TF choice: Thin symbols → 5–15m; liquid symbols → 1m.
◉ Near‑zero angle: In noisy markets, consider 5–7° instead of 3°.
◉ OB/OS votes: Daily charts often work with 3–4 votes; lower TFs may prefer 4–5.
◉ Zone thickness: Tie B1/S1 zone thickness to ATR so it scales with volatility.
◉ Colors: Feel free to theme the primary/negative colors; keep Δ<0 mapped to the negative color for readability.
Combine with price action: Use this indicator alongside structure, trendlines, and other tools for stronger decisions.
