NHadou-solo# NHadou-solo — Candle-based Wave Structure Indicator
NHadou-solo is a wave-structure visualization indicator that draws swing lines based on
candle-by-candle price behavior. Unlike typical ZigZag-style indicators that rely on a fixed
percentage threshold to determine swing points, NHadou-solo uses a unique algorithm that
evaluates the relationship between consecutive candles to identify trend continuation and
reversal.
This approach produces wave structures that differ from ZigZag logic and provides a more
granular view of how price swings evolve in real time.
---
## ■ Core Logic (Conceptual Overview)
### ● Unique Algorithm (Different from ZigZag)
- Instead of using percentage-based price deviation, the indicator directly compares the
highs and lows of consecutive candles to determine swing direction.
### ● Candle-by-Candle Reversal Detection
- During an up wave: the wave continues until a candle prints a lower low than the previous low.
- During a down wave: the wave continues until a candle prints a higher high than the previous high.
### ● Handling Inside Bars (Harami)
- When price forms an inside bar, the direction is not confirmed.
- The indicator waits for a breakout before drawing the next segment, reducing noise.
### ● Provisional (Unconfirmed) Wave Lines
- When a potential reversal or a break of a key high/low occurs, a provisional line is drawn.
- This helps visualize possible turning points before they are fully confirmed.
---
## ■ How to Use
- The wave lines represent the current swing direction and potential reversal zones.
- Provisional lines indicate early signs of momentum change.
- Useful for identifying trend continuation, reversals, and swing structure in both trending
and ranging markets.

NHadou-solo は、ローソク足ごとの価格構造をもとに波動線を描画する、独自ロジックの波動可視化インジケータです。
一般的な ZigZag 系インジケータは、一定の価格変動率 を基準に転換点を描画しますが、
NHadou-solo はローソク足の前後関係を直接比較して波動転換を判定するため、
ZigZag とは異なるアルゴリズムで波動構造を抽出します。
---
## ■ ロジック概要（概念レベル）
### ● ZigZag とは異なる独自アルゴリズム
- 価格変動率ではなく、ローソク足の高値・安値の更新状況を直接比較して判定します。
### ● ローソク足ごとの転換点判定
- 上昇中：安値が前回安値を下回るまで上昇波を継続
- 下降中：高値が前回高値を上回るまで下降波を継続
### ● 含み足・はらみ足の処理
- 方向が確定するまで波を描画せず、ノイズを抑えた波動構造を形成します。
### ● 未確定足（仮線）
- 反転の可能性がある場面や主要高値・安値のブレイク時には仮線を描画し、
波動の“候補”を視覚的に把握できるようにしています。
---
## ■ 使い方
- 波動線は現在の方向性と転換候補を視覚化します。
- 仮線は「反転の可能性」を示すため、確定波との違いを見ながら判断します。
- トレンドの継続・転換、押し目・戻り目の把握に活用できます。

## ■ 注意事項
- 本インジケータは教育目的で提供されており、特定の売買を推奨するものではありません。
Analysis
LBMA London Gold Fix Times [Auto DST]## Overview
This lightweight indicator automatically marks the **LBMA Gold Price Fixing** times on your chart using vertical lines. It is designed specifically for **XAUUSD (Gold)** traders who need to monitor institutional liquidity and volatility shifts during the London session.
The indicator tracks the two key daily fixing moments:
* **AM Fix:** 10:30 (London Time)
* **PM Fix:** 15:00 (London Time)
## Key Features
* **🌍 Auto Daylight Saving Time (DST):** Built with the `Europe/London` timezone parameter. It automatically adjusts to British Summer Time (BST) and GMT, so you never have to manually change the UTC offset settings.
* **⚡ Minimalist Design:** Draws clean vertical lines without cluttering your chart with text labels.
* **🎨 Fully Customizable:** You can adjust the line color, width, and style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted) for both AM and PM sessions independently.
## Why are these times important?
The London Gold Fix (LBMA Gold Price) is the global benchmark for physical gold settlement. Major institutions, central banks, and mining companies settle contracts at these times. Consequently, **10:30** and **15:00** (London time) often witness:
1. Significant spikes in volatility.
2. Trend reversals or accelerations.
3. Massive volume injection.
## Usage Tips
* **Timeframe:** This indicator works best on **Intraday Timeframes** (1-minute to 30-minute charts).
* *Note:* It may not be visible on H1 (1-hour) charts or higher because the fix times (e.g., 10:30) occur in the middle of an hourly candle.
* **Setup:** Simply add it to your chart. No timezone configuration is required; the script calculates London time internally.
## Settings
* **AM Fix Color:** Default is Blue (London Morning).
* **PM Fix Color:** Default is Red (London Afternoon/US Morning overlap).
* **Line Style:** Choose between Solid, Dashed, or Dotted lines.
概述 (Overview)
这是一个轻量级的辅助指标，通过垂直线在图表上自动标记 LBMA 伦敦金定盘价（LBMA Gold Price Fixing） 的时刻。它是专为 XAUUSD（黄金） 交易者设计的，旨在帮助大家捕捉伦敦时段内机构流动性和市场波动的关键节点。
该指标会自动锁定每天两个核心的定盘时间：
上午定盘 (AM Fix): 10:30 (伦敦时间)
下午定盘 (PM Fix): 15:00 (伦敦时间)
主要功能 (Key Features)
🌍 自动识别夏令时 (Auto DST): 代码内置 Europe/London 时区参数。无论英国处于夏令时 (BST) 还是冬令时 (GMT)，指标都会自动精准对齐，无需用户手动调整时区设置。
⚡ 极简主义设计: 仅绘制干净的垂直线，不显示任何文字标签，避免遮挡K线或干扰视线。
🎨 高度可定制: 您可以独立调整上午和下午定盘线的颜色、粗细以及样式（实线、虚线或点线）。
为什么要关注这两个时间点？
LBMA 伦敦金定盘价是全球实物黄金结算的基准价格。大型金融机构、中央银行和金矿公司通常会在这个时间点集中进行合约结算。因此，在伦敦时间 10:30 和 15:00 前后，市场经常会出现：
波动率瞬间激增。
短期趋势的反转或加速。
巨量成交量的涌入。
使用建议 (Usage Tips)
适用周期: 建议在 日内分时图（1分钟、5分钟、15分钟或30分钟）上使用。
注意: 在 1小时 (H1) 或更大的周期上，线条可能无法显示，因为定盘时间（如 10:30）发生在整点K线的内部，无法被单独标记。
设置方法: 加载指标即可使用。无论您本地电脑的时间设置如何，脚本内部会自动计算正确的伦敦时间。
参数设置 (Settings)
AM Fix Color: 上午定盘线颜色（默认为蓝色）。
PM Fix Color: 下午定盘线颜色（默认为红色，此时往往也是美盘初期的波动高峰）。
Line Style: 线条样式选择（实线、虚线、点线）。
Area per IntervalDescription
This indicator shades the area between 2 curves, an SMA and the nearest open/close to the SMA, and their intersections. The black labels with leader lines describe the calculated area of each shaded section, and the total area accumulated per total number of time intervals for that area. The additional value visible in the status line that is not displayed on the chart is, at any bar index (time interval), the current total area of the incomplete shaded area.
Usage
- The default color of the shaded areas denote the type of momentum being built before the cross. Green for bullish, red for bearish.
- The area value of the shaded areas can be used as a capacity indicator, denoting imbalances between the previous and next crosses.
- The area per interval value of the shaded areas can be used as a momentum indicator, denoting which area is carrying more price movement before the price crosses.
- Similar to indicators that use dynamic price differences between OHLC data, moving averages, etc, confluence with other momentum indicators that use different elements creates additional confirmation.
Conclusion
Simple momentum indicator. Comment for possible updates that can be made.
Daily VOL HUD (Auto Chart Symbol)Short Description (Preview)
A clean, fixed-position HUD that displays today’s daily volume and optional Daily Volume Delta (DVD) for the active chart symbol. Automatically adapts when switching pairs.
Full Description
Daily Volume HUD (Auto Chart Symbol) is a minimalist on-chart heads-up display (HUD) designed to keep daily volume context visible at all times — without relying on traditional volume panels.
The indicator automatically follows the current chart symbol, meaning when you switch from BTC to ETH, DOGE, or any other pair, the displayed volume updates instantly with no manual input required.
It remains fixed to the top of the screen, unaffected by zoom level, price scale, or timeframe, making it ideal as a subtle volume watermark for active traders.
Historical Returns [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Historical Returns indicator visualizes daily and monthly return data to help traders assess seasonal performance and volatility behavior.

This tool is ideal for spotting recurring return patterns and understanding the broader profitability context of a symbol.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Daily Return Bubbles: Each trading day is analyzed for its return percentage, and plotted as a bubble with size proportional to the return magnitude.
Monthly Performance Curves: Average or cumulative returns are calculated and plotted to show how the current month is performing relative to historical averages.
Current Year Return: Current year performance as a single return value, giving traders context on long-term profitability.
Current Month Average Return: Current month average performance as a single return value, giving traders context on short-term profitability.
Extreme Return Labels: Optionally highlights daily returns above +4% or below -4% with labeled percentages for spike recognition.
🔵 FEATURES
Shows daily return bubbles (1%–7%+), color-coded by direction.
Labels monthly returns with the month name and percentage value.
Displays a performance dashboard with:
Daily return heatmap for the current month.
Average return for the current month.
Year-to-date return.

Clean fallback warning if not on a daily chart ("⚠️USE DAILY TIMEFRAME").
Custom color themes for bullish and bearish values.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use the monthly return curve to compare how the current month is performing against historical averages.
Look for clusters of positive or negative bubbles as signals of strong directional weeks.
Watch extreme return labels for volatility spikes or catalyst days.
Use year-to-date return to assess how the asset is trending in the broader macro cycle.
Combine with other BigBeluga tools to align trades with historically favorable periods.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Historical Returns is your visual companion for return analytics — helping you identify profitable months, detect volatility surges, and understand historical seasonality at a glance. With a clean dashboard and insightful overlays, this tool supports better timing and improved statistical edge in both short- and long-term trades.
Opening Path Selector (EMA200 Context Tool)📝 Description
Opening Path Selector is a context-based indicator designed to help traders quickly identify which asset may offer the cleanest directional path at the market open.
This tool does not generate entry or exit signals.
Its purpose is to reduce decision fatigue during the first minutes of the session by ranking a small set of high-liquidity assets based on higher-timeframe EMA200 structure.
🔍 What this indicator evaluates
The dashboard compares a predefined group of major symbols and ranks them according to:
• Proximity to the nearest EMA200
• Relative position versus higher-timeframe EMA200 levels
• Directional context inferred from EMA structure
The result is a priority-based list that highlights which asset may present:
• Less immediate EMA resistance
• Clearer directional context
• Lower probability of early-session chop
📊 How to read the dashboard
• Priority – Ranking based on opening context
• Symbol – Evaluated instrument
• Nearest EMA200 – Distance and side relative to price
• Possible Path – Direction with less immediate EMA resistance
• Bias – Strength of the higher-timeframe context
Colored markers are used to provide fast visual identification of the highest-priority assets.
⚠️ Important notes
• This is a context and selection tool, NOT a trading system
• No buy/sell signals, alerts, TP, or SL logic are included
• Designed to be used alongside your own execution methodology
🔧 Compatibility
Due to Pine Script multi-symbol and multi-timeframe constraints, this public version is intentionally limited to a small set of symbols.
TradingView Pro / Premium or higher is recommended for consistent performance.
🔗 Complementary tools
This indicator can be complemented with Multi-Tool VWAP + EMAs (Multi-Timeframe) + Key Levels , which provides detailed visibility of multiple EMA levels, VWAP structure, and higher-timeframe reference zones directly on the chart.
While Opening Path Selector helps decide which asset to focus on at the open, the complementary tool can assist with in-chart context and confirmation once an asset has been selected.
Both tools are designed to serve different stages of the decision process and can be used independently.
Next Candle PredictorAdvanced TradingView Indicator for Precise Buy and Sell Signals
Overview:
The Predicta Futures - Next Candle Predictor is a cutting-edge TradingView indicator designed to forecast the next candle's direction in futures and cryptocurrency markets. Leveraging a multi-indicator confluence strategy, this tool provides traders with actionable long and short prediction percentages, enhanced by dynamic ADX-based thresholds and visual projection candles. Ideal for scalping, day trading, or swing trading on platforms like MEXC or Binance futures, it combines Supertrend, MACD, RSI, Stochastic, ADX, and volume analysis to deliver high-probability buy and sell signals while minimizing false positives.
Key Features:
• Multi-Indicator Confluence Scoring:
Integrates Supertrend for trend direction, EMAs (8, 21, 50) for alignment, MACD for momentum crossovers, RSI for overbought/oversold conditions, Stochastic for divergence detection, ADX for trend strength, and volume ratios for confirmation. A customizable confluence score (0-6) ensures signals meet user-defined criteria, reducing whipsaws in volatile markets.
• Dynamic Prediction Thresholds:
ADX-driven adjustments lower the required prediction percentage (e.g., 60% in strong trends) for "PERFECT TIME" entries, adapting to market conditions like ranging or trending phases.
• Visual Analysis Table:
A sleek, color-coded dashboard displays progress bars for each indicator, prediction percentages, and status (e.g., "PERFECT TIME" or "WAIT"). Supports long and short analyses with intuitive ASCII bars for quick scans.
• Projection Candles:
Simulates potential next-candle outcomes with volatility-scaled (via Bollinger Bands width) green long and red short candles, aiding in visualizing price targets.
• Buy/Sell Signals and Alerts:
Generates labeled "BUY" and "SELL" arrows on EMA crossovers within confirmed trends, with separate alerts for basic signals and high-confluence "PERFECT TIME" opportunities.
• Customizable Inputs:
Adjust ATR periods, Supertrend factors, minimum confluence scores, and volume ratios to tailor the indicator for stocks, forex, or crypto perpetual futures.
How It Works:
This TradingView script calculates long and short scores using weighted contributions from key indicators, normalizing them into prediction percentages. A confluence check—factoring trend, EMA alignment, MACD, Stochastic, volume, and ADX—triggers "PERFECT TIME" only when conditions align robustly. For example:
• In a downtrend (Supertrend red), with bearish MACD and Stochastic, and sufficient volume, the indicator highlights short opportunities.
• Dynamic thresholds ensure aggressive entries in strong trends (ADX >25) and conservative ones in weak trends.
• Backtested for reliability, it excels in identifying reversals and continuations, making it a must-have for traders seeking an edge in futures trading strategies.
Usage Instructions:
1. Add the indicator to your TradingView chart. (Search: Next Candle Predictor)
2. Customize settings via the inputs panel (e.g., set minConfluence to 5 for stricter signals).
3. Monitor the analysis table for predictions and confluence scores.
4. Act on "BUY/SELL" labels or "PERFECT TIME" alerts, combining with your risk management.
5. Enable projection candles for visual forecasting of the next bar.
Compatible with all timeframes, from 1-minute scalping to daily swings. Note: This is not financial advice; always verify signals with additional analysis.

Max Pain Options [QuantLabs] v5 (Balanced)Institutional Grade Options Analysis: Max Pain, Gamma & Pin Risk
For years, TradingView users have been flying blind without access to Options Chain data. QuantLabs: Max Pain & Gamma Exposure changes that. This is not just a support/resistance indicator—it is a sophisticated, algorithmic model that reverse-engineers the incentives of Market Makers using synthetic Black-Scholes logic.
This tool visualizes the "invisible hand" of the market: the hedging requirements of large dealers who are forced to buy or sell to keep their books neutral.
CORE FEATURES:
🔴 Max Pain Gravity Model The bright red line represents the "Max Pain" strike—the price level where the maximum amount of Options Open Interest (Calls + Puts) expires worthless.
Theory: As OpEx (Expiration) approaches, Market Makers maximize profits by pinning the price to this level.
Strategy: Use this as a mean-reversion target. If price is far away, look for a snap-back to the red line.
🟣 Gamma Exposure Profiles (The Purple Lines) These neon histograms show you the estimated "Gamma Walls."
Long Gamma: Dealers trade against the trend (stabilizing price).
Short Gamma: Dealers trade with the trend (accelerating volatility).
Visual: The larger the purple bar, the harder it will be for price to break through that level.
📦 Algorithmic "Pin Risk" Zones The dashed red box highlights the "Kill Zone." When price enters this area near expiration, volatility often dies as dealers pin the asset to kill retail premiums.
Warning: Do not expect breakouts while inside the Pin Zone.
📊 Institutional HUD A clean, non-intrusive dashboard provides real-time Greeks and risk analysis:
Pin Risk: High/Medium/Low probability of a pinned close.
Exp Mode: Detects if the market is in "Short Gamma" (Squeeze territory) or "Long Gamma" (Chop territory).
HOW IT WORKS (The Math): Since live options data is not available via Pine Script, this engine uses a proprietary Synthetic OI Distribution Model. It inputs Volume, Volatility (IV), and Time-to-Expiry into a modified Black-Scholes equation to probability-map where the heavy open interest likely sits.
SETTINGS & CUSTOMIZATION:
Responsiveness: Tuned for the "Goldilocks Zone" (Spread: 12, Decay: 22) to catch local liquidity walls without over-fitting.
Visuals: Designed for Dark Mode. High-contrast Neon aesthetics for maximum readability.
BUY/SELL Multi-Factor Decision Engine (v8) WebhookBUY / SELL Multi-Factor Decision Engine (v8) — Webhook
Important Notice
This indicator is not financial advice, does not guarantee results, and does not eliminate losses.
It is not a bot, not an oracle, and does not replace experience, risk management, or human judgment.
It is a tool for reading, filtering, and organizing market information.
1. What is this indicator?
BUY / SELL Multi-Factor Decision Engine (v8) — Webhook is a technical analysis indicator that:
analyzes multiple indicators at the same time,
evaluates structure, momentum, pressure, and context,
generates BUY / SELL signals when sufficient intent exists,
displays two state semaphores (BAS and CTX),
concentrates complex information into a compact panel,
is highly configurable from the settings panel (almost the entire indicator is configurable, including parameters, thresholds, profiles, and tolerances, allowing significant modification of the indicator’s behavior),
can generate alerts and signals via Webhook.
It does not execute trades.
It does not promise consistent wins.
It does not eliminate risk.
2. What does it actually do?
This indicator does NOT work with simple rules such as:
“RSI above X = buy”
“Moving average crossover = entry”
It also does not wait for everything to be perfect at the same time.
It works as follows:
It evaluates market intent using several indicators simultaneously.
It builds a LONG probability and a SHORT probability.
Intent may exist even if some indicators are neutral.
When intent exceeds a minimum configurable threshold, a BUY or SELL is generated internally.
That signal is only shown if the market is moving enough (ATR filter).
Important note:
ATR does NOT participate in the BUY / SELL decision.
ATR only decides whether existing intent:
is shown on screen,
triggers an alert,
or is sent via Webhook.
In parallel, risk context (CTX) is evaluated and displayed as a warning.
CTX does not participate in the BUY / SELL decision; it only informs about risk.
All analyzed information (EMAs, MACD, RSI, CMF, ADX/DI, BBP, SMC, candles, patterns, sweeps, EQs) is displayed in a compact panel, including the direction they appear to indicate.
BUY / SELL is not an order; it is a visual synthesis of a complex reading.
3. Market Intent (main engine)
This is where BUY or SELL is born.
Intent is calculated using classic indicators, but they are not read as textbook values, rather as behavior.
The engine does not ask:
“Is it above or below X?”
It asks things like:
Is the market pushing or losing strength?
Is momentum accelerating or exhausting?
Is there real pressure or just a bounce?
Does structure support or contradict the move?
Because of this, the indicator may:
anticipate classic signals,
maintain intent while something is neutral,
fail,
arrive early or late.
This is normal in any probabilistic system.
Nothing in the market is certain.
BUY and SELL signals:
are not orders,
are not imperative instructions,
must not be interpreted as mandatory entries or exits,
and do not replace market reading or the trader’s own analysis.
BUY / SELL is:
a visual synthesis of a complex reading,
a probabilistic representation of intent,
a decision-support tool,
not a mandate or a guarantee.
4. Indicators that form intent (interpretation and weight)
The intent engine works on an accumulated score.
Each indicator adds evidence, not orders.
EMAs — weight: 2 points
Measure structure and dynamic direction.
Evaluates:
slope,
speed,
relationship between them.
LONG intent may exist before a classic crossover.
MACD — weight: 2 points
Measures momentum and acceleration.
Not used as a “magic crossover”.
Evaluates:
whether momentum accelerates or weakens,
whether it accompanies price.
RSI — weight: 1 point
Not used as overbought/oversold.
Interpreted as:
direction of pressure,
gain or loss of relative strength.
CMF (Chaikin Money Flow) — weight: 1 point
Evaluates money flow.
Helps distinguish:
supported moves,
empty moves.
ADX + DI — weight: 2 points
Evaluates:
whether there is real trend,
who dominates (buyers or sellers),
whether the move has a foundation.
BBP (Bull/Bear Power) — weight: 1 point
Evaluates buying vs selling pressure.
Helps detect:
control,
exhaustion.
SMC (BOS / CHOCH) — weight: 3 points
Evaluates market structure:
continuity (BOS),
change of character (CHOCH).
Not decorative.
It has the highest individual weight in the engine.
Important:
Bias does not have a 3-point weight.
SMC only adds 3 points when a BOS or CHOCH event appears in the panel.
While only Bias is present, it adds 0 points, because there is no event.
Therefore, the intent threshold depends on the other indicators until a BOS or CHOCH occurs.
Important
The engine does not require unanimity.
It requires sufficient intent (sum of points ≥ configured threshold).
5. BAS Semaphore (intent state)
The BAS semaphore summarizes the state of the intent engine:
🟢 Green → solid intent
🟡 Yellow → weak or transitioning intent
🔴 Red → deteriorated or risky intent
BAS:
is linked to BUY / SELL,
reflects intent quality,
does not automatically cancel a signal.
It helps evaluate trade health, not blind obedience.
6. Operability (ATR Gates)
ATR:
does NOT generate BUY or SELL,
does NOT decide direction.
ATR only answers:
Is the market moving enough for this intent to be operational?
Therefore intent may:
exist,
but not be shown,
not trigger alerts,
not be sent via Webhook.
This avoids:
trading dead ranges,
signal spam,
micro-moves without continuity.
ATR Profiles (timeframe)
Included ATR profiles:
Scalp (2m / 5m)
Intraday (15m / 30m)
Swing (1H – 4H)
Position (1D / 1W / 1M / 3M)
STANDARD (editable)
Profiles only adjust operability filtering.
They do not change direction or the intent engine.
Recommendation:
Use the profile matching your timeframe or edit STANDARD according to your criteria.
7. Engine Profiles
The indicator also includes Engine profiles.
The Engine STANDARD is editable by the user.
Predefined Engine profiles are NOT editable.
They are calibrated as coherent parameter sets.
This avoids common mistakes such as:
scalping EMAs with swing RSI,
mixing incompatible indicator ranges.
Modifying fixed profiles breaks internal coherence.
8. Context (CTX)
Context does NOT participate in BUY / SELL decisions.
It adds no points.
It subtracts no points.
It does not block signals.
It warns about risk.
Evaluates, among other things:
liquidity sweeps,
Equal Highs / Equal Lows (EQ),
candle types,
chart patterns (forming or confirmed).
CTX semaphore:
🟢 relatively clean environment
🟡 transition / caution
🔴 high-risk environment
A BUY with red CTX is not invalid, but riskier.
In CTX, fewer marks is generally better.
9. What is shown on screen
The indicator can show:
BUY / SELL
Compact panel with:
BAS
CTX
indicator readings
L / S labels on the chart
Labels:
L → Long
S → Short
10. Abbreviations (panel key)
Candles
Doji → Doji
LLDoji → Long-legged Doji
Eng → Engulfing
Maru → Dominant no-wick candle
Hammer → Hammer
InvHam → Inverted Hammer
Shoot → Shooting Star
Hang → Hanging Man
BD Slot (strength / indecision)
DD → strong indecision
D → indecision
BE↑ / BE↓ → bullish / bearish engulfing
B↑ / B↓ → dominant candle
Chart Patterns
H&S → Head & Shoulders
iH&S → Inverse H&S
DT / DB → Double Top / Bottom
RWdg / FWdg → Rising / Falling Wedge
RChnl / FChnl → Rising / Falling Channel
SymTri / AscTri / DescTri → Triangles
Comp → Compression
Stage:
F → Forming
C → Confirmed
11. Configuration (very important)
Parameters are not decorative.
Modifying:
EMAs
RSI
MACD
CMF
ADX / DI
BBP
ATR
intent threshold
profiles
context tolerances
changes the real behavior of the engine.
Important:
Adjusting a single parameter in isolation is generally not recommended.
If one value changes, the set should usually be adjusted to avoid incompatible ranges.
Example:
EMA 10/20 ≠ EMA 15/30 ≠ EMA 10/50
Same applies to all indicators.
12. BUY / SELL, Alerts and Webhook
The indicator does not execute trades.
It is used to:
trade manually,
receive alerts,
send signals to Telegram or other systems,
automate only if the user builds their own bot.
The indicator only sends structured information.
Execution is:
external,
user-decided,
user-responsibility.
13. How I use it (creator’s criteria)
I do not rely solely on the indicator, and no one should.
I still read:
each individual indicator,
candle patterns,
chart patterns,
sweeps,
EQs,
structure and overall context.
The indicator does not replace my reading — it confirms it.
I use it to:
consolidate scattered information,
decide faster,
reduce visual noise,
avoid impulsive entries.
It is support, not a substitute for judgment.
DISCLAIMER
Important Notice – read carefully
As stated throughout this document, BUY / SELL Multi-Factor Decision Engine (v8) — Webhook is a technical analysis tool and does not constitute financial advice, investment recommendations, or a guarantee of results.
This indicator:
does not predict the future,
does not guarantee profits,
does not eliminate losses,
does not reduce market risk,
and does not replace experience, human judgment, risk management, or the learning curve required to trade.
BUY / SELL Multi-Factor Decision Engine:
is not a bot,
is not an automated system,
is not an oracle,
does not execute trades,
and does not make decisions for the user.
BUY and SELL signals:
are not orders,
are not imperative instructions,
must not be interpreted as mandatory entries or exits,
and do not replace market reading or personal analysis.
BUY / SELL is:
a visual synthesis of a complex reading,
a probabilistic representation of intent,
a decision-support tool,
not a mandate or a guarantee.
Nature of the indicator and the market
This indicator reads information, not outcomes.
It interprets what the market — and specifically TradingView — shows at each moment: indicators, structure, patterns, candles, sweeps, EQs, momentum, and context.
That a LONG or SHORT intent forms, a BUY or SELL signal triggers, and the market later does not move in that direction does not mean the indicator failed.
This happens because:
the market may show intent and later invalidate it,
new orders may enter,
liquidity may change,
context may deteriorate.
This is exactly why even very experienced traders lose trades.
The indicator always interprets information the same way, but it has no more information than what is publicly available.
It does not see the future, hidden orders, or external events.
A failed signal is not an indicator error — it is the probabilistic and uncertain nature of the market.
Parameter configuration
Users may modify parameters, thresholds, profiles, and tolerances.
Doing so changes the actual behavior of the engine, not just appearance.
Modifying a single parameter in isolation is generally not recommended.
Changing one value often requires adjusting the whole set to avoid incoherent ranges.
The intent-based logic does not change, but results can be altered if ranges are modified inconsistently.
Alerts and Webhook usage
This indicator can generate alerts and send signals via Webhook to external systems (bots, servers, messaging platforms, execution systems).
The Webhook only transmits information generated when internal conditions are met.
The indicator does not execute trades, control external systems, or validate user actions.
Any automation, bot, script, server, or system receiving these signals:
is external to the indicator,
is built, configured, and operated by the user,
and operates under the user’s full responsibility.
The creator is not responsible for:
automated executions,
programming errors in external bots or scripts,
connectivity failures,
duplicate orders,
delays,
losses derived from automation,
or decisions made from Webhook signals.
Using Webhook does not turn this indicator into a bot or automated system.
Webhook is only a communication channel.
Final Statement
Neither this indicator, nor any other indicator, nor any bot:
predicts the future,
guarantees profits,
or prevents losses.
Anyone claiming otherwise is lying.
This indicator is designed as a support tool to:
organize information,
reduce noise,
improve market reading,
and help make more conscious decisions,
not to eliminate risk or replace human judgment.
The creator of BUY / SELL Multi-Factor Decision Engine (v8) — Webhook assumes no responsibility for any loss, economic damage, financial harm, or negative consequence resulting from the use of this indicator.
This includes, but is not limited to, use:
manual,
semi-automated,
automated,
via alerts,
via Webhook,
via bots, scripts, servers, APIs, or any external system.
Any decision made using this indicator:
is solely the user’s responsibility,
made under their own judgment,
and at their own risk.
Using this indicator implies explicit acceptance that:
trading involves risk,
losses are possible,
and the creator assumes no direct or indirect liability for adverse results, misinterpretation, incorrect execution, faulty automation, or trading decisions.

QMF- Market Structure & Signal Suite [BullByte]QUANTUM MOMENTUM FUSION - Market Structure and Signal Suite
OVERVIEW
Quantum Momentum Fusion is a comprehensive market analysis framework built around a multi-dimensional momentum oscillator. This indicator was designed to give traders a complete analytical workspace in a single tool, combining momentum measurement, market structure identification, trendline analysis, divergence detection, and multi-timeframe context into one unified system.
The core philosophy behind QMF is that successful trading decisions come from understanding multiple aspects of market behavior simultaneously, not from relying on any single indicator or signal. The oscillator serves as the analytical foundation, and every other component builds upon it to create a complete picture of current market conditions.
This description will walk through each component of the indicator, explaining what it measures, why that information matters, and how to interpret what you see on the chart. Whether you are an experienced trader familiar with oscillator analysis or newer to technical indicators, each section aims to make the concepts accessible and practical.
THE QUANTUM ENGINE: UNDERSTANDING THE CORE OSCILLATOR (why its original and not a mashup)
At the heart of this indicator is the Quantum Momentum Fusion oscillator, displayed in its own pane below the price chart. Unlike traditional oscillators that measure a single aspect of price behavior, the QMF oscillator synthesizes four distinct market dimensions into one unified reading.
WHAT IS AN OSCILLATOR
For those less familiar with the term, an oscillator is a technical indicator that fluctuates between defined boundaries, typically showing whether an asset is experiencing strong buying pressure, strong selling pressure, or neutral conditions. The QMF oscillator moves between 0 and 100, with 50 representing the neutral midpoint.
When the oscillator is high (above 70), it suggests the market has experienced significant upward momentum and may be approaching exhaustion. When low (below 30), it suggests the market has experienced significant downward momentum and may be due for a bounce. The space between these extremes represents normal market fluctuation.
THE FOUR DIMENSIONS
What makes the QMF oscillator different from standard momentum indicators is that it combines four separate measurements into its calculation. Each dimension captures a different aspect of market behavior:
VELOCITY DIMENSION
This measures how quickly momentum itself is changing. Think of it like acceleration in a car. Knowing the car is moving forward (direction) is useful, but knowing whether the driver is pressing the accelerator or the brake (acceleration) tells you what is likely to happen next. The velocity dimension calculates the rate of change of the rate of change, providing early warning when momentum is about to shift direction. In practical terms, this can show momentum weakening before price actually reverses.
Why it matters: Price can continue in one direction for a while even after the underlying momentum starts to fade. By measuring acceleration, you can identify potential turning points earlier than with simple momentum indicators.
How it appears: This dimension is calculated internally and combined with the others. You do not see it separately, but its effect shows in the oscillator responding earlier to momentum shifts.
VOLUME DIMENSION
This measures price movement weighted by trading volume. A price move accompanied by high volume has different significance than the same price move on low volume. High volume suggests conviction and participation from larger traders. Low volume suggests the move may lack follow-through.
The volume dimension multiplies price change by a volume ratio (current volume compared to average volume), giving greater weight to moves that have volume confirmation behind them.
Why it matters: Volume often precedes price. Strong volume on a move suggests institutional participation and increases the probability that the move will continue. Weak volume on a move suggests it may be easily reversed.
How it appears: Moves with strong volume conviction will push the oscillator more definitively, while low-volume moves will have muted effect on the reading.
VOLATILITY DIMENSION
This normalizes price movement against the current volatility environment. Markets go through periods of high volatility (large price swings) and low volatility (small price swings). A 1% move during a low volatility period is more significant than a 1% move during a high volatility period.
The volatility dimension divides price change by Average True Range (ATR), which measures typical price range. This tells you whether current movement is significant relative to what is normal for this market right now.
Why it matters: Without volatility normalization, the oscillator would react the same way to all price moves regardless of context. By adjusting for volatility, the oscillator identifies moves that are genuinely significant versus normal noise within the current regime.
How it appears: During quiet markets, smaller price moves can still register as significant if they exceed normal volatility. During volatile markets, the oscillator will not overreact to moves that are within expected range.
SESSION DIMENSION
This tracks where price is positioned relative to the session Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP). VWAP represents the average price at which trading has occurred during the session, weighted by volume. Institutional traders often use VWAP as a benchmark for fair value.
When price is consistently above VWAP, it suggests buyers are willing to pay above average prices, indicating accumulation. When price is consistently below VWAP, it suggests sellers are accepting below average prices, indicating distribution.
Why it matters: VWAP positioning provides insight into whether institutional traders are likely accumulating or distributing. Price repeatedly returning to and bouncing from VWAP can indicate support, while price repeatedly failing at VWAP can indicate resistance.
How it appears: The session dimension contributes bullish readings when price maintains above VWAP and bearish readings when price maintains below VWAP.
ADAPTIVE WEIGHTING
The four dimensions are combined using configurable weights, and the system can operate in Adaptive Mode. When Adaptive Mode is enabled, the indicator automatically adjusts its sensitivity based on the current volatility regime. During high volatility periods, sensitivity increases to capture larger moves. During low volatility periods, sensitivity decreases to filter out noise.
This means the oscillator adapts to changing market conditions without requiring manual adjustment.
READING THE OSCILLATOR: DISPLAY MODES AND ZONES
The QMF oscillator can be displayed in four different visual formats. Each shows the same underlying data but presents it differently based on trader preference.
ENERGY CANDLES
This mode displays the oscillator as candlestick-style candles. Just as price candles show open, high, low, and close for price, energy candles show these values for the QMF oscillator.
Green candles indicate the oscillator closed higher than it opened (bullish momentum). Red candles indicate the oscillator closed lower than it opened (bearish momentum). The body size shows how much the oscillator moved during the period. Larger bodies indicate stronger momentum conviction.
This format is useful for traders who are comfortable reading candlestick patterns and want to apply similar visual analysis to the oscillator.
QMF LINE
This mode displays the oscillator as a traditional line chart with a signal line overlay. The main QMF line shows current momentum. The signal line is a smoothed average of the QMF that helps identify direction changes.
When the QMF line is above the signal line, momentum is bullish. When below, momentum is bearish. Crossovers between the two lines can indicate momentum shifts.
This format is familiar to traders who use indicators like MACD and prefer clean line-based visualization.
IMPULSE BARS
This mode displays the oscillator as a histogram centered on the 50 midline. Bars above 50 indicate bullish momentum, bars below 50 indicate bearish momentum. Bar height shows momentum strength.
The color intensity changes based on momentum direction. Bars that are increasing in the bullish direction show brighter color. Bars that are decreasing show muted color. This makes it easy to see momentum acceleration and deceleration at a glance.
HEIKIN FLOW
This mode applies Heikin-Ashi smoothing to the energy candles. Heikin-Ashi is a Japanese technique that averages price data to create smoother trends with fewer reversals.
The result is cleaner visual trends that are easier to follow, though with slightly more lag than standard energy candles. This format is useful for identifying sustained momentum moves without getting distracted by minor fluctuations.
OSCILLATOR ZONES
Regardless of display mode, the oscillator pane includes horizontal reference lines that define important zones:
Midline at 50: The neutral point. When the oscillator is above 50, overall momentum is bullish. When below 50, overall momentum is bearish.
Overbought level at 70: When the oscillator crosses above this level, the market is showing strong bullish momentum. However, this also means prices have risen significantly and bearish reversal probability increases the longer the oscillator stays elevated.
Oversold level at 30: When the oscillator crosses below this level, the market is showing strong bearish momentum. However, this also means prices have fallen significantly and bullish reversal probability increases.
Extreme overbought at 85: Maximum bullish exhaustion. At this level, almost all short-term buying pressure has been expended. Reversal probability is high.
Extreme oversold at 15: Maximum bearish exhaustion. At this level, almost all short-term selling pressure has been expended. Reversal probability is high.
Understanding these zones helps you assess the current market condition before looking at any other indicator components.
MARKET STRUCTURE: DYNAMIC SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE
The second major component of the indicator is market structure analysis through dynamic support and resistance levels. Unlike price-based support and resistance, these levels are calculated directly on the oscillator.
WHAT ARE OSCILLATOR-BASED S/R LEVELS
When the QMF oscillator reaches a high point and then reverses lower, that high point becomes a resistance level on the oscillator. When the oscillator reaches a low point and then reverses higher, that low point becomes a support level.
These levels represent momentum thresholds that the market has previously found difficult to exceed. They answer the question: At what momentum reading has the oscillator historically reversed?
WHY THIS MATTERS
Oscillator support and resistance provides different information than price support and resistance. Price S/R tells you where buyers and sellers have previously entered the market. Oscillator S/R tells you what level of momentum the market has been able to sustain.
If the oscillator approaches its resistance level, it suggests momentum is reaching the upper bounds of what has been achievable recently. Either momentum will break through (indicating unusually strong conditions) or it will reverse (indicating normal mean reversion).
Similarly, if the oscillator approaches support, it suggests momentum is reaching exhaustion levels that have previously triggered bounces.
HOW IT APPEARS ON THE CHART
Resistance is displayed as a horizontal red line with a RES label on the oscillator pane. Support is displayed as a horizontal cyan line with a SUP label. These lines update dynamically as new pivots form.
When the oscillator breaks through these levels, markers appear:
R with up arrow: Resistance level broken, indicating unusually strong bullish momentum
S with down arrow: Support level broken, indicating unusually strong bearish momentum
R with checkmark: Resistance held, price rejected at this level
S with checkmark: Support held, price bounced from this level
The dashboard also shows current S/R status: whether the oscillator recently broke resistance, broke support, is currently at resistance, is currently at support, or is in clear space between levels.
AUTOMATED TRENDLINES: MOMENTUM TREND STRUCTURE
The third major component is automated trendline detection on the oscillator. This identifies trending behavior in momentum itself, separate from price trends.
WHAT ARE OSCILLATOR TRENDLINES
Just as you can draw trendlines on a price chart connecting swing lows (uptrend) or swing highs (downtrend), the indicator draws trendlines on the oscillator connecting pivot points.
Support trendlines connect oscillator pivot lows and project forward with a flat or rising slope. These show upward trending momentum where each pullback finds support at a higher level.
Resistance trendlines connect oscillator pivot highs and project forward with a flat or falling slope. These show downward trending momentum where each rally faces resistance at a lower level.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Price trends and momentum trends do not always align. Price can continue making higher highs while momentum makes lower highs, a condition called bearish divergence. Momentum trendlines help visualize this behavior.
When momentum is making higher lows (rising support trendline), it suggests underlying strength even if price is consolidating. When momentum is making lower highs (falling resistance trendline), it suggests underlying weakness even if price is holding.
Breaks of these trendlines often precede price moves. If a falling momentum resistance trendline breaks upward, it suggests bearish pressure is releasing and bullish momentum may follow. If a rising momentum support trendline breaks downward, it suggests bullish pressure is failing and bearish momentum may follow.
HOW IT APPEARS ON THE CHART
Support trendlines appear in blue/cyan, resistance trendlines appear in pink/magenta. Lines extend forward from the most recent pivot point to show projected levels.
Small circle markers can optionally appear at each pivot point used to construct the trendlines, helping you verify the anchor points.
When the oscillator breaks through a trendline, markers appear:
TL with up arrow: Resistance trendline broken upward (bullish breakout)
TL with down arrow: Support trendline broken downward (bearish breakdown)
Trendline strength is calculated based on three factors: how many pivot points validate the line, how recently it formed, and the angle of the slope. Stronger trendlines have more touches, formed recently, and have moderate slopes. You can filter trendlines by strength to show only the most significant ones.
Optional trendline zones can display a shaded area around each trendline rather than just a single line, showing a zone of influence rather than a precise level.
DIVERGENCE: WHEN PRICE AND MOMENTUM DISAGREE
The fourth major component is divergence detection, which identifies discrepancies between price action and oscillator behavior.
WHAT IS DIVERGENCE
Divergence occurs when price makes a new high or low, but the oscillator fails to confirm it. This disagreement between price and momentum often precedes reversals.
There are four types of divergence:
REGULAR BULLISH DIVERGENCE
Price makes a lower low (new low point below the previous low), but the oscillator makes a higher low (its low point is above its previous low). This suggests that despite price going lower, selling momentum is actually weakening. The implication is that sellers are losing conviction and a bounce or reversal may be approaching.
Visual example: Imagine price drops from 100 to 95, bounces to 97, then drops again to 93. At the same time, the oscillator drops to 25, bounces to 35, then drops only to 30. Price made a lower low (93 vs 95) but the oscillator made a higher low (30 vs 25). This is regular bullish divergence.
REGULAR BEARISH DIVERGENCE
Price makes a higher high (new high point above the previous high), but the oscillator makes a lower high (its high point is below its previous high). This suggests that despite price going higher, buying momentum is actually weakening. The implication is that buyers are losing conviction and a pullback or reversal may be approaching.
HIDDEN BULLISH DIVERGENCE
Price makes a higher low (its low point is above its previous low), but the oscillator makes a lower low (new low below its previous low). This occurs during uptrends and suggests the trend will continue. Price is holding higher but momentum briefly dipped further, indicating a temporary pullback within a larger uptrend.
HIDDEN BEARISH DIVERGENCE
Price makes a lower high (its high point is below its previous high), but the oscillator makes a higher high (new high above its previous high). This occurs during downtrends and suggests the trend will continue. Price is staying lower but momentum briefly spiked higher, indicating a temporary bounce within a larger downtrend.
Regular divergence suggests reversal. Hidden divergence suggests continuation.
HOW IT APPEARS ON THE CHART
When divergence is confirmed, labels appear on the oscillator:
BULL DIV: Regular bullish divergence confirmed
BEAR DIV: Regular bearish divergence confirmed
H-BULL: Hidden bullish divergence confirmed
H-BEAR: Hidden bearish divergence confirmed
Dotted lines connect the pivot points on the oscillator to show the divergence pattern. Regular divergence uses solid colored lines, hidden divergence uses dashed lines.
The dashboard shows divergence status in real-time:
CHECKING BULL: A potential bullish divergence pattern is forming but not yet confirmed
CHECKING BEAR: A potential bearish divergence pattern is forming but not yet confirmed
BULL CONFIRMED: Bullish divergence has been validated
BEAR CONFIRMED: Bearish divergence has been validated
NONE: No divergence currently active
Divergence strength is calculated from the magnitude of the oscillator discrepancy. Only divergences meeting the minimum strength threshold are displayed to filter out minor, less significant patterns.
FLOW RIBBONS: VISUALIZING MOMENTUM ALIGNMENT
The fifth major component is the Flow Ribbon system, which displays multiple moving averages of the QMF oscillator to visualize momentum trend and alignment.
WHAT ARE FLOW RIBBONS
Flow ribbons consist of three Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) applied to the QMF oscillator values. Think of them as smoothed versions of the oscillator at different speeds:
Fast Ribbon : Responds quickly to momentum changes, showing recent momentum direction
Medium Ribbon: Balances responsiveness with smoothness, showing intermediate momentum
Slow Ribbon: Moves slowly and shows longer-term momentum context
When these three lines are plotted together with filled area between them, they create a visual ribbon that expands and contracts based on momentum conditions.
WHY RIBBON ALIGNMENT MATTERS
The relationship between these three averages tells you about momentum structure:
BULLISH ALIGNMENT (Fast above Medium above Slow)
When the ribbons are stacked with fast on top, medium in middle, and slow on bottom, momentum is aligned bullishly across multiple timeframes. Short-term momentum leads, with medium and long-term momentum confirming. This is the strongest bullish configuration.
BEARISH ALIGNMENT (Fast below Medium below Slow)
When the ribbons are inverted with fast on bottom, medium in middle, and slow on top, momentum is aligned bearishly across multiple timeframes. Short-term momentum leads downward, with medium and long-term momentum confirming. This is the strongest bearish configuration.
MIXED/TRANSITIONING
When the ribbons are not properly stacked, momentum is in transition. This often occurs during consolidation, trend changes, or choppy conditions. Trading during mixed ribbon states carries higher uncertainty.
RIBBON EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION
Beyond alignment, the distance between the fast and slow ribbon provides additional information:
EXPANDING RIBBON
When the gap between fast and slow ribbon is increasing, momentum is accelerating. In a bullish alignment with expansion, upward momentum is strengthening. In a bearish alignment with expansion, downward momentum is strengthening. Expansion confirms trend conviction.
CONTRACTING RIBBON
When the gap between fast and slow ribbon is decreasing, momentum is decelerating. The current trend may be losing steam. Contraction often precedes consolidation or reversal. It serves as an early warning that the current move may be exhausting.
HOW IT APPEARS ON THE CHART
The fast ribbon appears as a thicker line, the slow ribbon as a thinner line. The area between them fills with color:
Green fill: Bullish ribbon alignment
Red fill: Bearish ribbon alignment
Gray fill: Neutral or transitioning state
The dashboard shows ribbon state as BULL, BEAR, or NEUT, and indicates whether ribbons are expanding (EXP) or contracting (CON).
Ribbon crossovers occur when the fast ribbon crosses the slow ribbon, signaling potential momentum shifts. These crossovers are confirmed only after the bar closes to prevent false signals from intrabar movement.
REVERSAL CLOUDS: PROBABILITY ZONES
The sixth major component is the Reversal Cloud system, which visualizes zones where momentum reversals have elevated probability.
WHAT ARE REVERSAL CLOUDS
Reversal clouds are shaded areas around the QMF oscillator that indicate probability zones for mean reversion. They answer the question: How far from average has momentum extended, and what is the probability it will revert?
When the oscillator moves far from its normal range, it creates stretched conditions. Like a rubber band pulled to its limit, the probability increases that it will snap back toward center. Reversal clouds visualize these stretched conditions.
CLOUD CALCULATION METHODS
Five different calculation methods are available, each with different characteristics:
DYNAMIC BOLLINGER
Uses statistical standard deviation to create bands that adapt to oscillator volatility. When the oscillator is volatile, bands widen. When the oscillator is calm, bands narrow. This method identifies moves that are statistically significant relative to recent oscillator behavior.
GOLDEN RATIO
Applies Fibonacci proportions (0.214 and 0.786) to the oscillator range. These ratios appear throughout nature and markets. Some traders believe these proportions have psychological significance in market behavior.
ADAPTIVE HALO
Scales cloud width based on price ATR rather than oscillator volatility. This connects cloud width to actual price volatility, making the clouds wider during volatile price action and narrower during calm periods.
VOLATILITY SQUEEZE
Uses short-term standard deviation to create bands that contract during low volatility and expand during high volatility. This method is particularly useful for identifying potential breakout conditions when volatility is compressed.
ICHIMOKU RSI
Applies concepts from Ichimoku Kinko Hyo equilibrium theory to create balanced zones. Uses multiple lookback periods to establish equilibrium levels where the oscillator tends to find balance.
HOW TO READ THE CLOUDS
The oscillator moves through the cloud area as momentum fluctuates:
When QMF enters the upper cloud region, it indicates extended bullish momentum. The higher into the cloud, the greater the probability of bearish reversal through mean reversion.
When QMF enters the lower cloud region, it indicates extended bearish momentum. The deeper into the cloud, the greater the probability of bullish reversal through mean reversion.
Cloud opacity adjusts based on reversal probability. More opaque coloring indicates higher reversal probability. Subtle coloring indicates lower reversal probability.
IMPORTANT UNDERSTANDING
Clouds show probability zones, not certainty. Price can remain in extreme zones longer than expected, particularly during strong trends. Clouds are most useful when combined with other components like divergence, S/R breaks, and ribbon alignment rather than used in isolation.
MULTI-TIMEFRAME ANALYSIS: SEEING THE BIGGER PICTURE
The seventh major component is Multi-Timeframe (MTF) analysis, which calculates QMF values across multiple timeframes to assess momentum alignment at different time perspectives.
WHY MULTIPLE TIMEFRAMES MATTER
The timeframe you trade on shows only one perspective of market momentum. A bullish signal on a 15-minute chart may occur within a larger bearish trend on the 4-hour chart. Understanding momentum context from higher timeframes helps you assess whether you are trading with or against the larger flow.
When multiple timeframes align in the same direction, the probability of a successful trade increases. When timeframes conflict, the situation is more uncertain and requires additional caution.
HOW MTF ANALYSIS WORKS
The indicator calculates the full QMF oscillator independently on four configurable timeframes. By default, these are set to 5-minute, 15-minute, 60-minute (1 hour), and 240-minute (4 hour), but you can configure them to any timeframes that suit your trading style.
For each timeframe, the system determines the current momentum bias:
OB - Overbought: QMF above 70, indicating extended bullish momentum that may reverse
B+ - Strong Bullish: QMF above 55 and above its signal line, indicating solid bullish momentum
B - Bullish: QMF above its signal line, indicating mild bullish momentum
N - Neutral: QMF near 50 with no clear direction
S - Bearish: QMF below its signal line, indicating mild bearish momentum
S+ - Strong Bearish: QMF below 45 and below its signal line, indicating solid bearish momentum
OS - Oversold: QMF below 30, indicating extended bearish momentum that may reverse
ALIGNMENT SCORING
The dashboard displays an alignment score showing how many of the four timeframes agree with each directional bias. This appears as a fraction like 3/4 or 2/4.
4/4 Bullish: All four timeframes show bullish readings - maximum bullish alignment
3/4 Bullish: Three timeframes bullish, one diverging - strong bullish alignment
2/4: Split between bullish and bearish - no clear alignment, use caution
3/4 Bearish: Three timeframes bearish, one diverging - strong bearish alignment
4/4 Bearish: All four timeframes show bearish readings - maximum bearish alignment
Higher alignment scores indicate more reliable momentum context. Trading with 3/4 or 4/4 alignment in your favor provides better odds than trading against alignment or during mixed conditions.
NON-REPAINTING MTF DATA
The multi-timeframe data uses proper request.security settings with lookahead disabled and gaps handled correctly. This ensures the MTF readings you see in backtesting match what you would see in real-time trading, with no future data leakage that could create misleading results.
LIVE MOMENTUM SCORING: REAL-TIME MARKET ASSESSMENT
The eighth major component is the Live Momentum Scoring system, which provides continuous real-time feedback on current market conditions.
WHAT IS LIVE MOMENTUM SCORING
Unlike signals which only appear when specific patterns complete, live momentum scores update every bar to show the current balance between bullish and bearish factors. This answers the question: Right now, how do the bullish factors compare to the bearish factors?
The system evaluates six categories for each direction and adds up points:
ZONE POSITION (0-25 points)
Rewards positioning in favorable oscillator zones. Deep oversold positioning adds points to the bullish score. Deep overbought positioning adds points to the bearish score. Extreme zones receive maximum points, moderate zones receive partial points, neutral zones receive zero.
DIVERGENCE (0-20 points)
Rewards active or forming divergence patterns. Confirmed divergence receives full points. Forming (checking) divergence receives partial credit. No divergence receives zero points.
TREND ALIGNMENT (0-20 points)
Rewards proper EMA stacking and trend MA positioning. Full bullish EMA stack (fast above medium above slow above trend MA) receives maximum bullish points. Partial alignment receives partial points.
MOMENTUM DIRECTION (0-15 points)
Rewards current momentum direction and acceleration. Accelerating momentum in the favorable direction receives maximum points. Simple directional momentum receives moderate points. Histogram turning (early reversal signs) receives partial points.
RIBBON STATE (0-10 points)
Rewards proper ribbon alignment and expansion. Aligned and expanding ribbons receive maximum points. Aligned but contracting ribbons receive moderate points. Mixed ribbons receive zero points.
MULTI-TIMEFRAME (0-10 points)
Rewards higher timeframe alignment. 4/4 alignment receives maximum points, scaling down as alignment decreases.
READING THE LIVE SCORES
The dashboard displays current scores for both directions:
BULL: Shows bullish score as percentage (0-100) and letter grade (A through D)
BEAR: Shows bearish score as percentage (0-100) and letter grade (A through D)
BIAS: Shows which direction currently dominates (BULL, BEAR, or NEUTRAL if close)
Grade thresholds:
A Grade: 70% or higher - Strong momentum factors aligned
B Grade: 50-69% - Moderate momentum factors present
C Grade: 30-49% - Some momentum factors but incomplete
D Grade: Below 30% - Weak or missing momentum factors
The dominant bias shows which direction currently has stronger factors. When one side leads by more than 10 points, it shows that direction. Otherwise, it shows NEUTRAL indicating balanced or mixed conditions.
WHY LIVE SCORING MATTERS
Live scores help you understand current market conditions even when no signal has fired. You can see momentum building or fading in real-time. A rising bullish score suggests conditions are improving for potential long opportunities. A rising bearish score suggests conditions are deteriorating.
This continuous feedback helps with:
- Anticipating potential signals before they fire
- Assessing whether to act on signals that do fire
- Understanding why a signal did or did not appear
- Monitoring open positions for changing conditions

HOW SIGNALS EMERGE FROM CONFLUENCE
After understanding all the individual components, it becomes clear how signals are generated. Signals in QMF are not arbitrary triggers based on single conditions. They emerge when multiple independent factors align to create confluence.
THE PATTERN-BASED APPROACH
The signal system uses a hierarchical pattern-based approach. Rather than calculating a score from random factors and labeling it, the system actively hunts for specific predefined pattern combinations.
The system first checks for Grade A patterns. If none are found, it checks for Grade B patterns. If none are found, it checks for Grade C patterns. Each grade represents specific combinations of factors that must be present together.
GRADE A REQUIREMENTS
Grade A patterns require multiple strong factors aligned. Examples of Grade A pattern combinations:
Pattern A1 - Perfect Storm Reversal:
- Extreme zone positioning (deeply oversold or overbought)
- Confirmed regular divergence
- Structural break (resistance broken or support broken or trendline broken)
- Strong volume conviction (1.3x or higher)
- High MTF alignment (3 or more timeframes agreeing)
Pattern A2 - Breakout Conviction:
- Resistance or support broken
- Accelerating momentum in the breakout direction
- Full EMA stack aligned
- Ribbon aligned and expanding
- Strong volume conviction (1.4x or higher)
- Good MTF alignment (2 or more timeframes)
Pattern A3 - Zone Reversal Multi-Confirmation:
- Extreme or standard zone positioning
- Regular or hidden divergence confirmed
- Active bounce from zone
- EMA crossover or MA break in reversal direction
- Good MTF alignment (2 or more timeframes)
- Volume conviction present (1.2x or higher)
All factors in the pattern must be present simultaneously. Missing any single factor disqualifies the Grade A pattern.
GRADE B REQUIREMENTS
Grade B patterns require fewer but still meaningful confirmations. These patterns fire only when no Grade A pattern is detected:
Pattern B1 - Zone with Confirmation:
- Oversold or overbought zone positioning
- Momentum in reversal direction
- Hidden divergence, EMA crossover, or trendline break present
- Minimum MTF alignment met
Pattern B2 - Divergence with Structure:
- Regular or hidden divergence confirmed
- Structural break (S/R or trendline or MA)
- Momentum confirming direction
- Volume at least average
Pattern B3 - Clean Trend Continuation:
- Above or below trend MA
- Ribbon aligned in direction
- Oscillator crossed signal line
- EMA stack complete
GRADE C REQUIREMENTS
Grade C patterns require basic confirmations. These patterns fire only when no Grade A or Grade B pattern is detected:
Pattern C1 - Early Zone Entry:
- Zone positioning or approaching zone
- Momentum in expected direction
- Oscillator or EMA crossover present
Pattern C2 - Momentum Shift:
- Histogram turning in expected direction
- Oscillator crossover confirmed
- Oscillator on expected side of midline
SIGNAL QUALITY CONTROLS
Beyond pattern detection, several quality controls must be satisfied:
COOLDOWN
A minimum number of bars must pass between any two signals. This prevents signal clustering during volatile conditions and ensures each signal represents a distinct opportunity.
DIRECTION ALTERNATION
When enabled, signals must alternate between LONG and SHORT. After a LONG signal, only SHORT signals can fire until direction changes. This prevents multiple consecutive signals in the same direction.
PULLBACK REQUIREMENT
After a signal fires, the oscillator must retrace a minimum percentage before another same-direction signal can fire. This ensures re-entry signals occur after meaningful pullbacks rather than immediately after the first signal.
VOLUME CONFIRMATION (Optional)
When enabled, volume must meet minimum threshold relative to average. This filters out signals during low-volume periods when moves may lack follow-through.
BAR CONFIRMATION
All signals require barstate.isconfirmed, meaning they only fire after the bar closes. This prevents signals from appearing and disappearing during live bar formation, ensuring backtest results match live behavior.
A comprehensive example that combines signal generation logic, grading system, with all elements clearly annotated for easy understanding.
SETTINGS REFERENCE
This section provides a reference for the main configurable settings organized by category.
QUANTUM ENGINE SETTINGS
Sensitivity (5-50): Primary lookback period for momentum calculations. Lower values respond faster but may include more noise. Higher values smooth the oscillator but increase lag. Default 14 balances responsiveness with stability.
Smoothing (1-10): Exponential smoothing applied to final QMF value. Higher values reduce noise, lower values preserve detail. Default 3 provides good noise reduction.
Adaptive Mode: When enabled, automatically adjusts sensitivity based on volatility regime. Increases sensitivity during high volatility, decreases during low volatility.
Dimension Toggles: Enable or disable each of the four dimensions (Velocity, Volume, Volatility, Session) individually. Useful for customizing the oscillator for specific instruments or conditions.
Dimension Weights: Adjust relative contribution of each dimension. Weights are normalized so they do not need to sum to 1.0. Higher weight means that dimension has more influence on the final value.
Signal Length: EMA period for the signal line. Lower values make signal line more responsive, higher values make it smoother.
DISPLAY SETTINGS
Display Mode: Choose between Energy Candles, QMF Line, Impulse Bars, or Heikin Flow visualization.
Candle Glow: Adds luminous glow effect around energy candles based on momentum strength. Visually striking but can impact performance on slower systems.
Glow Layers: Number of glow layers when candle glow is enabled. More layers create smoother gradient but use more resources.
VISUAL SETTINGS
Theme: Choose between Tokyo Night (dark blue with vibrant accents), Dracula (purple-grey with high contrast), or Nord (muted arctic tones). Each theme is designed for extended trading sessions.
Glow Intensity: Controls transparency of glow effects. Lower values create more visible glows, higher values more subtle.

PRACTICAL EXAMPLE: READING THE COMPLETE PICTURE
This example walks through analyzing a chart using all the indicator components together.
SCENARIO: You are analyzing a 15-minute chart looking for trading opportunities.
STEP 1: ASSESS OSCILLATOR ZONE
You look at the QMF oscillator and see it reading 24, which is in the oversold zone. The dashboard confirms this showing OVERSOLD in the zone status. The progress bar shows the oscillator is in the lower portion of its range.
Initial assessment: The market has experienced significant selling pressure and is in territory where bullish reversals have elevated probability.
STEP 2: CHECK STRUCTURE
You look at the dynamic S/R levels. The oscillator recently touched its support level at 22 and bounced. You see an S with checkmark marker indicating support held. The dashboard shows AT SUP status.
Assessment update: The oscillator found support at a level that has held before. This adds to the bullish case.
STEP 3: EXAMINE TRENDLINES
You notice a resistance trendline connecting recent oscillator highs that has been declining. The oscillator is currently approaching this trendline from below. No break has occurred yet.
Assessment update: There is overhead resistance that will need to be cleared. A break above would be significant.
STEP 4: CHECK DIVERGENCE
The dashboard shows BULL CONFIRMED in the divergence status. Looking at the oscillator, you see a BULL DIV label with a dotted line connecting two pivot lows. The oscillator made a higher low while price made a lower low.
Assessment update: Confirmed bullish divergence suggests selling momentum is weakening despite price continuing lower. This is a meaningful signal of potential reversal.
STEP 5: EVALUATE RIBBONS
The ribbons are currently mixed with fast below medium but both above slow. Ribbon fill is gray indicating transitioning state. However, you notice the fast ribbon is turning upward and approaching the medium ribbon from below.
Assessment update: Ribbons are not yet aligned bullish, but appear to be transitioning. A bullish crossover may be approaching.
STEP 6: CHECK MTF ALIGNMENT
The dashboard MTF panel shows: 5m is B+, 15m is B, 1H is N, 4H is S. The alignment shows 2/4 bullish.
Assessment update: Lower timeframes support bullish bias, but higher timeframes are neutral or bearish. This is mixed alignment, suggesting caution. Any bullish move may face resistance from higher timeframe sellers.
STEP 7: REVIEW LIVE MOMENTUM SCORES
Dashboard shows BULL at 52% Grade B, BEAR at 28% Grade D. Dominant bias shows BULL.
Assessment update: Bullish factors currently outweigh bearish factors. The score suggests moderate bullish conditions, not yet strong.
STEP 8: SYNTHESIS
Putting it together:
- Oversold zone positioning (bullish factor)
- Support held (bullish factor)
- Bullish divergence confirmed (strong bullish factor)
- Ribbons transitioning but not yet aligned (neutral)
- MTF alignment mixed at 2/4 (caution factor)
- Live score favors bullish moderately (supporting factor)
- Resistance trendline overhead (risk factor)
Conclusion: Conditions favor a bullish reversal but with caution warranted due to mixed MTF alignment and overhead resistance. This would not qualify for a Grade A signal due to insufficient MTF alignment. If a signal fires, it would likely be Grade B.
STEP 9: SIGNAL FIRES
Several bars later, the oscillator crosses above its signal line while still in oversold territory. The EMA fast crosses above EMA slow. A LONG B signal appears at 85% confluence.
The signal represents: Oversold positioning plus confirmed divergence plus momentum crossover, meeting Grade B pattern requirements.
STEP 10: MONITORING
After entry, you monitor the dashboard for changing conditions. Live momentum scores continue rising. The resistance trendline breaks (TL up arrow marker appears). Ribbons align bullish. MTF alignment improves to 3/4 as the 1H turns bullish.
The improving conditions confirm the trade thesis. You hold the position as conditions strengthen.

Session Volume Profile - Asia London NYSession Volume Profile – Asia, London, NY
Description
OVERVIEW
Session Volume Profile is a technical analysis indicator designed to visualize how volume is distributed during the three primary global trading sessions: Asia, London, and New York. The script separates intraday volume data into time-defined sessions to help traders observe where trading activity concentrated and how value areas evolve as liquidity transitions between regions.
This indicator is intended for market structure and contextual analysis, not signal generation.
TECHNICAL OUTPUT
For each enabled session, the indicator calculates and displays:
Point of Control (POC)
The price level with the highest traded volume during the session.
Value Area High / Low (VAH / VAL)
The price range containing a user-defined percentage of total session volume (commonly 70%).
Session Volume Histogram
A horizontal volume-at-price visualization showing relative participation across price levels, highlighting high- and low-volume areas.
CALCULATION FRAMEWORK
Session Segmentation
Sessions are identified using exchange-based time boundaries. Each session is processed independently to prevent overlap and ensure clean separation of volume data.
Volume Binning
Intraday volume is allocated into discrete price buckets using an array-based structure. The resolution of these buckets is controlled by the Histogram Density input.
Value Area Expansion
The script identifies the session’s POC and expands outward in both directions until the selected percentage of total volume is reached, defining the Value Area High and Low.
HOW TO USE
Session Context
Observe how price reacts to prior-session POC and value areas when a new session begins.
Customization Controls
Individual sessions can be enabled or disabled, and visual opacity can be adjusted to maintain clarity on lower timeframes.
Session Awareness
An optional countdown timer displays remaining session time to help traders stay aware of upcoming liquidity transitions.
DESIGN NOTES
This indicator visualizes historical volume distribution only. It does not identify specific participants or predict future price behavior. All calculations are derived exclusively from price and volume data available on the chart.
DISCLAIMER
This script is provided for educational and analytical purposes only. It does not generate trade signals, alerts, or financial advice. Historical volume distributions do not guarantee future market behavior.
UIA TrendCompass V1.0UIA TrendCompass v1.0 is a market structure interpretation tool designed to visualize trend states in real time.
The script identifies four structural states based on price behavior and trend continuity:
• T — Trend Start
• E — Trend Extension
• H — Structural High / Low
• X — Trend Exit / Reversal
This indicator is intended for market structure analysis and educational purposes only.
It does NOT provide trading signals, buy/sell recommendations, or investment advice.

Selected Days Indicator V3-TrDoes the stock drop every Wednesday? Do March months always move similarly? Does the 1st week of the month behave differently?
Do you ever say "it always makes this move in these months"? Don't you want to see more clearly whether it actually makes this move or not? Don't you want to see and test periodically repeating price patterns?
Hisse her Çarşamba düşüyor mu? Mart ayları hep benzer mi hareket ediyor? Ayın 1. haftası farklı mı davranıyor?
Bazen "bu aylarda hep bu hareketi yapıyor" dediğiniz oluyor mu? Gerçekten de bu hareketi yapıp yapmadığını daha net görmek istemez misiniz? Periyodik tekrarlayan fiyat kalıplarını görmek ve test etmek istemiyor musunuz?
1. Problem
Some stocks or crypto assets exhibit systematic behaviors on certain days, weeks, or months. But it's hard to see - everything is mixed together on the chart. This indicator isolates the days/weeks/months you want and shows only them. Hides everything else.
2. How It Works
Three-layer filter: Day (Monday, Tuesday...), Week (1st, 2nd, 3rd week of the month), Month (January, February...). Select what you want, let the rest disappear. Example: Show only Thursdays of March-June-September. Or compare every 1st week of the month. View as candlestick, line, or column chart.
3. What's It Good For?
Test "end-of-month effect". Find "day-of-the-week anomaly". Analyze crypto volatility by days. See seasonality in commodities. Discover patterns specific to your own strategy. Past data doesn't guarantee the future but provides statistical advantage.
Momentum Quality Index (MQI)
Welcome to the Momentum Quality Index! This indicator aims to provide insight into short term trends by measuring the efficiency of price movement relative to the momentum of the trend. This indicator is designed to work better on short term time frames, capturing the micro-level of trends for practices such as day-trading, options trading, and shorter term swing trading.
How to read:
The main way of reading this indicator is through moving average crossovers. Upwards crossovers indicates uptrends whereas downwards crossovers indicates downtrends.
Customization:
This indicator includes a few adjustable options for fine tuning, such as optimized smoothing options and moving average length for efficiency in spotting reversals.
CRUX-3 Macro Regime Index"CRUX-3 Macro Regime Index"
Description:
CRUX-3 Macro Regime Index is a higher-timeframe macro indicator designed to evaluate how crypto markets are performing relative to traditional equities. It compares Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the broader altcoin market (TOTAL3) against the S&P 500 using Z-score normalization to highlight periods of relative outperformance or underperformance.
The indicator incorporates liquidity-based regime detection using Bitcoin dominance and stablecoin dominance to classify market environments as Risk-On, BTC-Led, or Risk-Off. Background shading visually highlights these regimes, helping users identify broader macro conditions rather than short-term trade signals.
CRUX-3 is intended for macro context, regime awareness, and allocation bias decisions, not for precise trade entries or timing.
How to Use:
Weekly timeframe recommended for best results
Rising Z-scores indicate crypto outperforming equities
ETH/SPX typically acts as an early rotation signal
TOTAL3/SPX confirms broader altcoin participation
Regime shading reflects liquidity conditions, not price forecasts
Regime Definitions:
Risk-On: BTC dominance and stablecoin dominance declining
BTC-Led: BTC dominance strong while stablecoin dominance eases
Risk-Off: BTC dominance and stablecoin dominance rising
Notes:
Forward regime bands are statistical reference guides based on historical behavior
This indicator does not predict future prices or market direction
Best used alongside price charts and other macro tools
Disclaimer:
This indicator is for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice, investment advice, or trading recommendations.

Open Interest RSI [BackQuant]Open Interest RSI
A multi-venue open interest oscillator that aggregates OI across major derivatives exchanges, converts it to coin or USD terms, and runs an RSI-style engine on that aggregated OI so you can track positioning pressure, crowding, and mean reversion in leverage flows, not just in price.
What this is
This tool is an RSI built on top of aggregated open interest instead of price. It pulls futures OI from several major exchanges, converts it into a unified unit (COIN or USD), sums it into a single synthetic OI candle, then applies RSI and smoothing to that combined series.
You can then render that Open Interest RSI in different visual modes:
Clean line or colored line for classic oscillator-style reads.
Column-style oscillator for impulse and compression views.
Flag mode that fills between OI RSI and its EMA for trend/mean reversion blends. See:
Heatmap mode that paints the panel based on OI RSI extremes, ideal for scanning. See:
On top of that it includes:
Aggregated OI source selection (Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, Kraken, HTX, Deribit).
Choice of OI units (COIN or USD).
Reference lines and OB/OS zones.
Extreme highlighting for either trend or mean reversion.
A vertical OI RSI meter that acts as a quick strength gauge.
Aggregated open interest source
Under the hood, the indicator builds a synthetic open interest candle by:
Looping over a list of supported exchanges: Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, Kraken, HTX, Deribit.
Looping over multiple contract suffixes (such as USDT.P, USD.P, USDC.P, USD.PM) to capture different contract types on each venue.
Requesting OI candles from each venue + contract combination for the same underlying symbol.
Converting each OI stream into a common unit: In COIN mode, everything is normalized into coin-denominated OI. In USD mode, coin OI is multiplied by price to approximate notional OI.
Summing up open, high, low and close of OI across venues into a single aggregated OI candle.
If no valid OI is available for the current symbol across all sources, the script throws a clear runtime error so you know you are on an unsupported market.
This gives you a single, exchange-agnostic open interest curve instead of being tied to one venue. That aggregated OI is then passed into the RSI logic.
How the OI RSI is calculated
The RSI side is straightforward, but it is applied to the aggregated OI close:
Compute a base RSI of aggregated OI using the Calculation Period .
Apply a simple moving average of length Smoothing Period (SMA) to reduce noise in the raw OI RSI.
Optionally apply an EMA on top of the smoothed OI RSI as a moving average signal line.
Key parameters:
Calculation Period – base RSI length for OI.
Smoothing Period (SMA) – extra smoothing on the RSI value.
EMA Period – EMA length on the smoothed OI RSI.
The result is:
oi_rsi – raw RSI of aggregated OI.
oi_rsi_s – SMA-smoothed OI RSI.
ma – EMA of the smoothed OI RSI.
Thresholds and extremes
You control three core thresholds:
Mid Point – central reference level, typically 50.
Extreme Upper Threshold – high-level OI RSI edge (for example 80).
Extreme Lower Threshold – low-level OI RSI edge (for example 20).
These thresholds are used for:
Reference lines or OB/OS zone fills.
Heatmap gradient bounds.
Background highlighting of extremes.
The Extreme Highlighting mode controls how extremes are interpreted:
None – do nothing special in extreme regions.
Mean-Rev – background turns red on high OI RSI and green on low OI RSI, framing extremes as contrarian zones.
Trend – background turns green on high OI RSI and red on low OI RSI, framing extremes as participation zones aligned with the prevailing move.
Reference lines and OB/OS zones
You can choose:
None – clean plotting without guides.
Basic Reference Lines – mid, upper and lower thresholds as simple gray horizontals.
OB/OS Levels – filled zones between:
Upper OB: from the upper threshold to 100, colored with the short/overbought color.
Lower OS: from 0 to the lower threshold, colored with the long/oversold color.
These guides help visually anchor the OI RSI within "normal" versus "extreme" regions.
Plotting modes
The Plotting Type input controls how OI RSI is drawn. All modes share the same underlying OI and RSI logic, but emphasise different aspects of the signal.
1) Line mode
This is the classic oscillator representation:
Plots the smoothed OI RSI as a simple line using RSI Line Color and RSI Line Width .
Optionally plots the EMA overlay on the same panel.
Works well when you want standard RSI-style signals on leverage flows: crosses of the midline, divergences versus price, and so on.
2) Colored Line mode
In this mode:
The OI RSI is plotted as a line, but its color is dynamic.
If the smoothed OI RSI is above the mid point, it uses the Long/OB Color .
If it is below the mid point, it uses the Short/OS Color .
This creates an instant visual regime switch between "bullish positioning pressure" and "bearish positioning pressure", while retaining the feel of a traditional RSI line.
3) Oscillator mode
Oscillator mode renders OI RSI as vertical columns around the mid level:
The smoothed OI RSI is plotted as columns using plot.style_columns .
The histogram base is fixed at 50, so bars extend above and below the mid line.
Bar color is dynamic, using long or short colors depending on which side of the mid point the value sits.
This representation makes impulse and compression in OI flows more obvious. It is especially useful when you want to focus on how quickly OI RSI is expanding or contracting around its neutral level. See:
4) Flag mode
Flag mode turns OI RSI and its EMA into a two-line band with a filled area between them:
The smoothed OI RSI and its EMA are both plotted.
A fill is drawn between them.
The fill color flips between the long color and the short color depending on whether OI RSI is above or below its EMA.
Black outlines are added to both lines to make the band clear against any background.
This creates a "flag" style region where:
Green fills show OI RSI leading its EMA, suggesting positive positioning momentum.
Red fills show OI RSI trailing below its EMA, suggesting negative positioning momentum.
Crossovers of the two lines can be read as shifts in OI momentum regime.
Flag mode is useful if you want a more structural view that combines both the level and slope behaviour of OI RSI. See:
5) Heatmap mode
Heatmap mode recasts OI RSI as a single-row gradient instead of a line:
A single row at level 1 is plotted using column style.
The color is pulled from a gradient between the lower and upper thresholds: Near the lower threshold it approaches the short/oversold color and near the upper threshold it approaches the long/overbought color.
The EMA overlay and reference lines are disabled in this mode to keep the panel clean.
This is a very compact way to track OI RSI state at a glance, especially when stacking it alongside other indicators. See:
OI RSI vertical meter
Beyond the main plot, the script can draw a small "thermometer" table showing the current OI RSI position from 0 to 100:
The meter is a two-column table with a configurable number of rows.
Row colors form an inverted gradient: red at the top (100) and green at the bottom (0).
The script clamps OI RSI between 0 and 100 and maps it to a row index.
An arrow marker "▶" is drawn next to the row corresponding to the current OI RSI value.
0 and 100 labels are printed at the ends of the scale for orientation.
You control:
Show OI RSI Meter – turn the meter on or off.
OI RSI Blocks – number of vertical blocks (granularity).
OI RSI Meter Position – panel anchor (top/bottom, left/center/right).
The meter is particularly helpful if you keep the main plot in a small panel but still want an intuitive strength gauge.
How to read it as a market pressure gauge
Because this is an RSI built on aggregated open interest, its extremes and regimes speak to positioning pressure rather than price alone:
High OI RSI (near or above the upper threshold) indicates that open interest has been increasing aggressively relative to its recent history. This often coincides with crowded leverage and a buildup of directional pressure.
Low OI RSI (near or below the lower threshold) indicates aggressive de-leveraging or closing of positions, often associated with flushes, forced unwinds or post-liquidation clean-ups.
Values around the mid point indicate more balanced positioning flows.
You can combine this with price action:
Price up with rising OI RSI suggests fresh leverage joining the move, a more persistent trend.
Price up with falling OI RSI suggests shorts covering or longs taking profit, more fragile upside.
Price down with rising OI RSI suggests aggressive new shorts or levered selling.
Price down with falling OI RSI suggests de-leveraging and potential exhaustion of the move.
Trading applications
Trend confirmation on leverage flows
Use OI RSI to confirm or question a price trend:
In an uptrend, rising OI RSI with values above the mid point indicates supportive leverage flows.
In an uptrend, repeated failures to lift OI RSI above mid point or persistent weakness suggest less committed participation.
In a downtrend, strong OI RSI on the downside points to aggressive shorting.
Mean reversion in positioning
Use thresholds and the Mean-Rev highlight mode:
When OI RSI spends extended time above the upper threshold, the crowd is extended on one side. That can set up squeeze risk in the opposite direction.
When OI RSI has been pinned low, it suggests heavy de-leveraging. Once price stabilises, a re-risking phase is often not far away.
Background colours in Mean-Rev mode help visually identify these periods.
Regime mapping with plotting modes
Different plotting modes give different perspectives:
Heatmap mode for dashboard-style use where you just need to know "hot", "neutral" or "cold" on OI flows at a glance.
Oscillator mode for short term impulses and compression reads around the mid line. See:
Flag mode for blending level and trend of OI RSI into a single banded visual. See:

Notes
This is a positioning and pressure tool, not a complete system. It:
Models aggregated futures open interest across multiple centralized exchanges.
Transforms that OI into an RSI-style oscillator for better comparability across regimes.
Offers several visual modes to match different workflows, from detailed analysis to compact dashboards.
Use it to understand how leverage and positioning are evolving behind the price, to gauge when the crowd is stretched, and to decide whether to lean with or against that pressure. Attach it to your existing signals, not in place of them.

NeuroSwarm ETH — Crowd vs Experts Forecast TrackerEnglish:
NeuroSwarm — Crowd vs Experts Forecast Tracker (ETH)
This indicator visualizes monthly forecast data collected from two independent groups:
Crowd – a large sample of retail participants
Experts – a curated group of analysts and experienced market participants
For each month, the indicator plots the following values as horizontal levels on the price chart:
Median forecast (Crowd)
Average forecast (Crowd)
Median forecast (Experts)
Average forecast (Experts)
Shaded zones highlighting the difference between median and mean
All values are fixed for each month and stay unchanged historically.
This allows traders to analyze sentiment dynamics and compare how expectations from both groups align or diverge from actual price action.
Purpose:
This tool is intended for sentiment visualization and analytical insight — it does not generate trading signals.
Its main goal is to compare collective expectations of retail traders vs experts across time.

COT Index & Positions by Novatrix CapitalThis indicator visualizes the positioning of the two main groups from the CFTC COT reports: Commercials and Retail (Non-Reportables / Small Traders). Each group is displayed in two ways:
Index (0–100) – normalized net positions to identify bullish or bearish extremes (standard cycle: 26 weeks, optionally 52 weeks).
Raw Net Positions – actual long minus short positions.
Color coding on the chart:
Commercial Index: Blue
Commercial Positions: Blue
Retail Index: Red
Retail Positions: Red
Additional features:
Reference lines for neutral, overbought, and oversold levels.
Helps traders analyze market sentiment and the positioning of major participant groups.
Important notice:
Since COT data is published only once per week and the COT Index is built on cyclical multi-week analysis, the indicator is intended to be used exclusively on the weekly timeframe.
The selected cycle length (typically 26 weeks, optionally 52 weeks) determines how net positions are compared and normalized, and can influence how quickly extreme zones appear in the index lines.
Adaptive Support and Resistance LevelsAdaptive Support and Resistance Levels
This indicator is a comprehensive institutional-grade trading tool designed to visualize Auction Market Theory (AMT), Support and Resistance concepts directly on the price chart. It is built for traders who require a deep understanding of market structure without the visual clutter of standard retail indicators.
Key Features:
1] Fractal Adaptive Engine:
The indicator automatically adjusts its calculations based on your timeframe.
-Intraday (1m-15m): Displays Daily Levels.
-Swing/Positional (30m-1H): Displays Weekly Levels.
-Long Term (Daily+): Displays Monthly Levels.
2]Untested Levels:
-Identifies levels from previous sessions that have not been tested by price.
-Extends these levels forward as "Magnets" until price touches them.
-Touch-Delete Logic: Once price interacts with a magnet, the line is automatically removed to keep the chart clean.
3] Institutional Dashboard:
- A "Flight Deck" table in the top-right corner provides real-time metrics:
-Context: Are we inside, above, or below the previous value zone?
-Auction State: Is the current market balanced or imbalanced?
-IB Status: Initial Balance (first 60 mins) breakout/breakdown status.
-Fuel Gauge: Measures current range vs. ADR (Average Daily Range) to gauge exhaustion.
-Volume Flow: Detects high-aggression volume relative to the average.
How to Use:
Trend Following: Look for price breaking out of the (Static Lines) , Pullback rejection, Rejection from the lines.
Reversion: Use the lower lines for bulls reversal and Upper lines for bears reversal ( Kind of reversal candle formation )
Risk Management: Use the ADR Fuel Gauge to avoid buying extended markets (>100% ADR).
