HaP MACDHaP MACD - Advanced DEMA Assisted Signal Indicator
Overview
The HaP MACD is an evolution of the classic MACD, designed for traders who demand faster response times and clearer trend visualisations. By integrating DEMA (Double Exponential Moving Average) logic into the standard MACD framework, this indicator filters out noise and highlights momentum shifts with a unique color-coded dot system.
How It Works
The indicator calculates two types of MACD: a standard one for the main lines and a DEMA-based one for signal generation. This dual approach ensures you stay in the trend while being alerted the moment the momentum starts to fade.
Visual Guide & Color Logic
The signal dots are placed directly on the MACD line to guide your decisions:
🔵 Blue Dot: The Entry Signal. Appears when DEMA conditions first align for a bullish move.
🟢 Green Dot: Strong Momentum. The trend is active and the MACD value is increasing.
🟠 Orange Dot: Warning Signal. The bullish trend is still active, but the momentum is slowing down (MACD is lower than the previous bar).
🔴 Red Dot: Exit Signal. The bullish condition has ended. It’s time to consider closing the position or tightening stops.
Key Features
Reduced Lag: DEMA integration provides earlier signals than standard EMA-based MACDs.
Trend Monitoring: Easily distinguish between a healthy trend (Green) and a tiring trend (Orange).
Customizable: Choose between EMA and SMA for both the oscillator and signal calculations.
Crossover Markers: Optional triangle markers for classic MACD crossovers (can be enabled in settings).

Golden Zone Structure [Kodexius]Golden Zone Structure is a ZigZag based market structure and Fibonacci tool designed to make swing context easier to read directly on the price chart. It detects meaningful pivot highs and lows, labels the evolving structure (HH, HL, LH, LL, including equal highs and lows), and automatically projects a Fibonacci map across the most recent completed swing.
Instead of forcing you to manually anchor Fib tools after every new leg, the script rebuilds levels each time a fresh pivot is confirmed. This makes it well suited for traders who focus on swing continuation, pullback depth, and reaction zones where liquidity and orderflow often concentrate.
A key emphasis is the Golden Zone highlight. The indicator shades the zone that is most relevant to the current swing context so you can quickly spot where a retracement is approaching a higher probability reaction area, without cluttering the chart with too many permanent objects.
The tool is intentionally visual and configurable. You can choose pivot source (High/Low or Close), adjust swing sensitivity via ZigZag period, switch color themes, and decide how much detail you want on screen (levels, zigzag lines, labels).
Optional trading markers can be enabled for users who want a lightweight “zone interaction” prompt. These markers are not intended as a standalone trading system. They are meant to complement your own confirmation rules (structure alignment, volume, higher timeframe bias, or price action triggers).
🔹Features
🔸 ZigZag Swing Engine
- Uses a configurable ZigZag period to filter noise and confirm swing points only when the lookback logic validates the move.
Supports different pivot sources (High/Low or Close) so you can choose between cleaner structure or more reactive behavior depending on the instrument.
Optional ZigZag leg drawing to visualize swing flow without clutter.
🔸 Market Structure Labels (HH, HL, LH, LL + Equals)
- Automatically labels each confirmed pivot based on how it compares to the prior pivot of the same type.
High side classification: H, HH, LH, EH.
Low side classification: L, HL, LL, EL.
Equal highs and lows help reveal potential liquidity pools and “magnet” areas where price often reacts or breaks with intent.
🔸 Auto Fibonacci Map on the Active Swing
- Rebuilds Fibonacci levels every time a new pivot is confirmed, keeping the projection aligned with the most recent completed leg.
Core retracement levels: 0.236, 0.382, 0.500, 0.618, 0.786.
Extension levels: 1.272 and 1.618 for expansion targeting and continuation mapping.
Optional price labels on each level, formatted to tick size so levels remain readable across markets.
🔸 Golden Zone Highlighting (Context Aware)
- Highlights the most relevant retracement band with a soft fill so you can spot “zone approach” moments at a glance.
The zone selection adapts to swing context, focusing on a different retracement region depending on whether the last confirmed pivot is a peak or a trough.
Adjustable transparency keeps the chart clean while preserving the key reaction area.
🔸 Visual Customization + Themes
- Multiple color themes (Neon, Ocean, Sunset, Monochrome) so the tool fits different chart styles and backgrounds.
Independent toggles for Fib levels, Golden Zone shading, ZigZag lines, and price labels.
Line width controls for better scaling across timeframes.
🔸 Optional Trading Markers + Alerts
- Optional BUY and SELL labels based on zone interaction logic with candle confirmation filters.
ATR based placement offset scaled by sensitivity so labels stay visually separated during volatility.
Built in alert conditions for new pivot highs and new pivot lows so you can monitor structure changes without watching every bar.
▶ Practical Usage Tip
• Use structure labels to define bias (HH + HL for bullish structure, LH + LL for bearish structure).
• Use the Golden Zone as a location filter, then wait for your own trigger (break of minor structure, rejection candle, volume shift, etc.).
• Treat extensions as “map points” not guaranteed targets. They work best when structure supports continuation.
SMA MAD Trend [Alpha Extract]A sophisticated trend identification system that combines Simple Moving Average with Mean Absolute Deviation methodology to create adaptive Super Trend-style bands with advanced strength filtering and gradient visualization. Utilizing ADX-based trend strength validation and slope analysis for signal quality enhancement, this indicator delivers institutional-grade trend detection with dynamic ATR-based ribbon visualization and comprehensive strength measurement. The system's dual-filter architecture eliminates false signals during weak or choppy market conditions while maintaining sensitivity to genuine trend establishment and reversal events.
🔶 Advanced SMA-MAD Band Construction
Implements innovative Mean Absolute Deviation calculation around Simple Moving Average baseline to create volatility-adaptive bands with ratcheting logic for trend persistence. The system calculates MAD by measuring absolute price deviations from the mean, then applies configurable multipliers to generate upper and lower bands that adjust to changing market conditions while preventing premature band violations.
// Core SMA-MAD Framework
SMA_Value = ta.sma(close, SMA_Length)
Mean = ta.sma(close, MAD_Length)
Abs_Deviation = abs(close - Mean)
MAD_Value = ta.sma(Abs_Deviation, MAD_Length)
// Adaptive Bands
Upper_Band = SMA_Value + MAD_Factor * MAD_Value
Lower_Band = SMA_Value - MAD_Factor * MAD_Value
🔶 Intelligent Dual-Filter System
Features comprehensive trend validation using ADX strength measurement and slope analysis to eliminate low-conviction signals during ranging or consolidating markets. The system calculates normalized slope strength using ATR scaling and combines with ADX threshold analysis, generating filtered trend states that distinguish genuine trends from temporary price fluctuations.
🔶 Dynamic Trend Strength Engine
Implements sophisticated strength calculation combining slope intensity and ADX readings to produce normalized 0-100% strength scores with gradient colour intensity modulation. The system normalizes slope by minimum threshold and ADX by configurable level, multiplying factors to create composite strength measurement that drives visual feedback intensity across all indicator elements.
🔶 Super Trend-Style Direction Logic
Utilizes classic Super Trend methodology adapted for SMA-MAD bands, where trend direction flips occur on opposite band violations with persistent state maintenance. The system tracks previous band levels with ratcheting behaviour that adjusts bands only when price movement or new calculations warrant changes, preventing oscillation during normal volatility.
🔶 ATR-Based Ribbon Visualization
Provides dynamic ribbon overlay using ATR-scaled width around the trend line with opacity modulation based on trend strength for intuitive conviction assessment. The system creates upper and lower ribbon bounds at configurable ATR multiples, filling the channel with gradient-adjusted transparency that increases during strong trends and fades during weak conditions.
🔶 Multi-Dimensional Visual Architecture
Provides complete chart integration through trend line overlay, ATR ribbon fills, candle colouring, background glow, and transition signal labels with configurable visibility toggles. The system enables traders to customize display density from minimal (trend line only) to comprehensive (all visual elements) while maintaining consistent colour scheme and strength-based intensity across components.
🔶 Slope Strength Validation
Calculates ATR-normalized slope over configurable lookback periods to measure trend line momentum and filter sideways price action. The system compares absolute slope against minimum threshold requirements, preventing trend signals when price movement relative to the trend line lacks sufficient directional conviction regardless of band position.
🔶 Signal Generation Framework
Generates trend change signals when filtered direction state transitions from bearish to bullish or vice versa, with label placement and alert integration. The system implements state persistence that maintains previous trend until both ADX and slope filters confirm directional change, reducing whipsaw signals while capturing genuine reversals with minimal lag.
🔶 Performance Optimization Framework
Utilizes efficient calculation methods with optimized variable management and configurable parameters for balance between responsiveness and stability. The system includes intelligent state tracking with NA handling for initial bars and smooth gradient calculations that maintain performance across extended historical periods and real-time updates.
This indicator delivers sophisticated trend identification through Mean Absolute Deviation methodology combined with dual-strength filtering for superior signal quality. Unlike traditional Super Trend indicators that rely solely on ATR bands, the SMA-MAD approach uses statistical deviation measurement while incorporating ADX strength and slope validation to eliminate false signals during choppy conditions. The system's gradient-based visual feedback, ATR ribbon visualization, comprehensive dashboard, and multi-dimensional filtering make it essential for traders seeking reliable trend-following approaches with clear conviction measurement across cryptocurrency, forex, and equity markets. The combination of adaptive bands, strength-based transparency, and intelligent filtering creates an institutional-grade trend system suitable for systematic trading strategies.
Order Flow: Structural Sniper [Profile + Signals]Overview
This script is a comprehensive tool designed to bridge the gap between Market Structure and Order Flow analysis. It aims to eliminate the subjectivity of static support and resistance lines by focusing on dynamic liquidity and the behavior of aggressive versus passive market participants.
Unlike traditional indicators that plot static data, the Structural Delta Map dynamically anchors its analysis to the start of the current trend (Pivots), providing a clear "X-Ray" view of how volume was distributed during the current price swing.
How it Works
The indicator combines three distinct technical concepts into a single system:
1. Market Structure (Pivots):
It uses a pivot detection algorithm to identify significant Swing Highs and Swing Lows. This determines the market bias and anchors the analysis to the origin of the movement.
2. Anchored VWAP (Fair Price):
It automatically calculates the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) starting from the last confirmed pivot. This yellow line acts as the "spine" of the trend, serving as dynamic institutional support/resistance.
3. Delta Profile & Heatmap:
A Volume Profile is plotted on the left side, anchored to the pivot.
Split Delta: Instead of a single color, bars are split into Green (Buying Volume) and Red (Selling Volume) based on price action estimation.
Heatmap Logic: The opacity of the bars adjusts automatically. Bright/Solid bars represent High Volume Nodes (HVN), while transparent bars represent Low Volume Nodes (LVN) or liquidity voids.
How to Use (Strategy)
The indicator provides both visual context and specific entry signals:
1. Visual Context:
Profile: Look for reactions at bright, wide bars (High Volume Nodes). These act as magnets or barriers.
Yellow Line (VWAP): In an uptrend, look for buy opportunities when price retraces to this line. In a downtrend, look for shorts on the retest.
2. Aggression Signals (Triangle "AGR"):
Type: Trend Continuation / Pullback.
Logic: Triggers when price retraces to the structural value zone (near VWAP), rejects it with higher-than-average volume, and closes in the direction of the trend.
3. Absorption Signals (Cross "ABS"):
Type: Reversal / Trap.
Logic:
Bullish Absorption: Price makes a new local low with high volume (selling pressure), but the candle closes bullish (leaving a long bottom wick). Passive buyers absorbed the aggression.
Bearish Absorption: Price makes a new local high with high volume, but closes bearish. Passive sellers absorbed the buying pressure.
Settings
Pivot Sensitivity: Adjusts how the script detects trend changes.
Profile Resolution: Controls the number of rows in the histogram.
Signal Filters: Enable/Disable signals and adjust the Volume Multiplier threshold.
Technical Disclaimer
This indicator estimates "Delta" (Buy vs. Sell volume) based on OHLC price action and bar volume, as Pine Script does not grant access to historical tick-by-tick data. While this approximation is highly effective for identifying aggression and absorption, it differs slightly from Level 2 footprint data found on platforms like Sierra Chart. Accuracy depends on the volume data provided by your exchange.
cd_VW_CxOverview
The cd_VW_Cx is a sophisticated trend analysis tool designed to quantify market momentum using Multi-Period VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price). Unlike standard indicators, this script evaluates the current price relationship across multiple historical VWAP anchors to generate a real-time "Confidence Score" ranging from -100 to +100.
💡 Key Features
• Dynamic Anchoring: Seamlessly switch between Daily, Weekly, or Monthly open anchors to align with your trading style (Scalping, Day Trading, or Swing).
• Algorithmic Scoring (The Score Box): The indicator compares the current VWAP against historical periods.
o Score > +70: Strong Bullish Momentum.
o Score < -70: Strong Bearish Momentum.
• Polyline Rendering: Utilizes Pine Script v6’s advanced polyline architecture for high-performance, sleek visual plotting that doesn't clutter your chart.
• Institutional Support/Resistance: Historical VWAP levels are color-coded, often acting as "invisible" magnetic zones where institutional orders are clustered.
🛠 How to Trade with cd_VW_Cx
1. Momentum Confirmation: Look for the Score Box to turn Teal (Bullish) or Red (Bearish). This indicates that the current trend has statistical backing from multiple previous sessions.
2. The Breakout Signal: The script tracks price crossovers of the current VWAP. A "Bullish Breakout" combined with a high score is a high-probability entry signal.
3. Visual Guidance: Use the custom labels to identify which specific day/week/month’s VWAP is currently being tested as support or resistance.
⚙️ Customizable Settings
• Anchor Selection: Choose the calculation basis (Daily, Weekly, Monthly).
• Thresholds: Adjust the sensitivity of the Bullish/Bearish alerts (Default is +/- 70).
• Visuals: Full control over table positioning, font sizes, and color palettes to match your chart theme.

• Combined Strength (Score + Breakout): Filters assets that have a Score > 70 AND a fresh VWAP Breakout simultaneously.
________________________________________
⚠️ Important Notes & Warnings
• Calculation Logic: The indicator calculates levels and scores on timeframes lower than the anchor. It is best used on timeframes that are close to but lower than the anchor.
• Avoid Extreme Gaps: Using a very low timeframe (e.g., 1m) with a very high anchor (e.g., Monthly) increases the risk of erroneous results.
• Optimization: The default score threshold of 70 is a starting point; I recommend adjusting it based on your own trading experience.
• The Power of Confluence: VWAP levels are naturally strong. Their significance increases when they coincide with institutional levels like PDH (Previous Day High), Session H/L, or HTF FVG.
• Experience Matters: A high score alone is not enough for an entry. Always combine this data with your personal strategy.

NQ Hourly Retracements - 12y Stats with LevelsHour Stats with Levels - TradingView Indicator Description
IMPORTANT: NQ FUTURES ONLY
This indicator is specifically designed for and calibrated to NQ (Nasdaq-100 E-mini) futures only. The statistical data is derived exclusively from 13 years of NQ price action (2013-2025). Do not use this indicator on any other asset, ticker, or market as the statistics will not be applicable and may lead to incorrect trading decisions.
Overview
"Hour Stats with Levels" is a statistical analysis indicator that provides real-time probability-based insights into hourly price behavior patterns. The indicator combines historical pattern recognition with live price action to help traders anticipate potential sweep and reversal scenarios within each trading hour.
Originality and Core Concept
This indicator is based on a comprehensive statistical analysis of 12y years of 1-minute NQ futures data, examining a specific price pattern: when an hourly candle opens inside the previous hour's range. Unlike generic support/resistance indicators, this tool provides hour-specific, context-aware probabilities based on 30,000+ historical occurrences of this pattern.
The originality lies in three key areas:
Pattern-Specific Statistics: Rather than applying generic technical analysis, the indicator only activates when the current hour opens within the previous hour's range, providing relevant statistics for this exact scenario.
Context-Aware Probabilities: Statistics are differentiated based on whether the current hour opened above or below the previous hour's open, recognizing that bullish and bearish opening contexts produce different behavioral patterns.
Comprehensive Retracement Tracking: The indicator tracks four independent retracement levels after a sweep occurs, showing the probability of price returning to: the swept level itself (90+% probability), the 50% level, the current hour's open, and the opposite extreme.
How It Works
The Core Pattern
The indicator monitors a specific price structure:
Setup Condition: The current hourly candle opens inside (between) the previous hour's high and low
Sweep Event: Price then breaks above the previous high (high sweep) or below the previous low (low sweep)
Retracement Analysis: After a sweep, the indicator tracks whether price retraces to key levels
Statistical Foundation
The underlying analysis processed 1-minute bar data from 2013-2025, identifying every instance where an hourly candle opened inside the previous hour's range. For each occurrence, the system tracked:
Whether the high, low, or both were swept during that hour
The distance of the sweep measured as a percentage of the previous hour's range
Whether price retraced to four key levels: the swept level, the 50% point, the current open, and the opposite extreme
These measurements were aggregated for all 24 hours of the trading day, with separate statistics for bullish contexts (opening above previous open) and bearish contexts (opening below previous open), creating 48 unique statistical profiles.
Sweep Distance Percentiles
The "reversal levels" are drawn based on historical sweep distance distributions:
25th Percentile: 75% of historical sweeps were larger than this distance. This represents a conservative reversal zone where smaller, contained sweeps typically reverse.
Median (50th Percentile): The midpoint of all historical sweep distances. Half of all sweeps reversed before reaching this level, half extended beyond it.
75th Percentile: Only 25% of sweeps extended beyond this distance. This represents an extended sweep zone where price has historically shown exhaustion.
For example, if the previous hour's range was 20 points and the median high sweep distance is 40% of range, the median reversal level would be placed 8 points above the previous high.
How to Use the Indicator
Sweeps were calculated using 1m data - as such, it's recommended to use the indicator on a 1min chart
Visual Components
Hour Delimiter (Gray Vertical Line)
Marks the start of each new hour
Helps identify when new statistics become active
Sweep Markers
Green "H" label: High sweep has occurred this hour
Red "L" label: Low sweep has occurred this hour
Markers appear on the exact bar where the sweep happened
Target Levels (Blue Lines)
Prev Open: Previous hour's opening price
Prev High: Previous hour's highest price (sweep target)
Prev Low: Previous hour's lowest price (sweep target)
Prev 50%: Midpoint of previous hour's range
Current Open: Current hour's opening price (key retracement target)
Reversal Levels (Purple Dashed Lines)
Positioned beyond the previous high/low based on historical sweep percentiles
Three levels above previous high (for high sweeps)
Three levels below previous low (for low sweeps)
These represent statistically-derived zones where sweeps typically exhaust
The Statistics Table
The table dynamically updates each hour and displays different statistics based on whether the current hour opened above or below the previous hour's open.
Status Row
Shows current state: waiting for sweep, or which sweep(s) have occurred
If waiting, indicates which sweep is more probable based on historical data
SWEEP PROBABILITIES Section
High Sweep: Historical probability (%) that price will sweep the previous high this hour
Low Sweep: Historical probability (%) that price will sweep the previous low this hour
Both Sweeps: Historical probability (%) that price will sweep both levels this hour
These probabilities are derived from counting how many times each pattern occurred in similar historical contexts. For example, "High Sweep: 73.18%" means that in 73.18% of historical occurrences where the hour opened in this same context (same hour of day, same position relative to previous open), price swept the previous high before the hour closed.
AFTER HIGH SWEEP → Section
These statistics activate only after a high sweep has occurred. They show the probability of price retracing to various levels:
→ Prev High: Probability that price returns to (or below) the level it just swept. This is typically 90%+ because sweeps often act as "false breakouts" or liquidity grabs before reversal.
→ 50% Level: Probability that price retraces at least halfway back into the previous hour's range. This represents a moderate retracement.
→ Current Open: Probability that price retraces all the way back to where the current hour opened. This indicates a complete reversal of the sweep move.
→ Prev Low: Probability that price retraces entirely through the previous range to touch the opposite extreme. This represents a full reversal pattern.
AFTER LOW SWEEP → Section
Mirror of the above, but for low sweeps:
→ Prev Low: Retracement to the swept low level (90%+ probability)
→ 50% Level: Retracement to middle of range
→ Current Open: Full retracement to current hour's open
→ Prev High: Complete reversal to opposite extreme
Important Note on Retracement Statistics: These percentages are tracked independently. A 90% probability of returning to the swept level doesn't mean there's only a 10% chance of deeper retracement. Price can (and often does) retrace through multiple levels sequentially. The percentages show how many times price reached at least that level, not where it stopped.
Trading Applications
Anticipating Sweeps
When an hour opens inside the previous range, check the probabilities. If "High Sweep: 70%" and "Low Sweep: 30%", you know there's a 70% historical likelihood of an upside sweep occurring this hour. This doesn't guarantee it will happen, but provides statistical context for potential setups.
Reversal Trading
The most reliable pattern in the data is the 90%+ retracement probability to swept levels. When a sweep occurs, traders can anticipate a retracement back to at least the swept level in the vast majority of cases. The reversal level percentiles help identify where sweeps may exhaust.
Position Management
The retracement probabilities help manage existing positions. For example, if you're long and a high sweep occurs, you know there's a 90%+ chance of at least some retracement to the swept level, which might inform profit-taking or stop-loss decisions.
Confluence with Current Open
The "Current Open" retracement statistics (typically 60-70%) highlight the magnetic quality of the hour's opening price. After a sweep, price frequently returns to test this level.
Customization Options
The indicator offers extensive visual customization:
Toggle on/off: hour delimiters, sweep markers, target levels, reversal levels, statistics table
Customize colors, line widths, and styles for all visual elements
Adjust label sizes and table position
Show/hide individual target levels and reversal percentiles
Limitations and Considerations
Pattern-Specific: The indicator only provides statistics when the current hour opens inside the previous hour's range. If the hour opens outside this range (gaps up or down), the statistics are not applicable.
Historical Probabilities: The percentages represent historical frequencies, not predictions. A 70% probability means it happened 70% of the time historically, not that it will definitely happen 7 out of 10 times going forward.
NQ-Specific Calibration: All statistics are derived from NQ futures data. Market behavior, volatility, and patterns differ across assets.
Hour-Specific Behavior: Different hours show dramatically different statistics. For example, the 9 AM EST hour (market open) shows much higher sweep probabilities (80%+) than the 5 PM EST hour (30-50%) due to differing liquidity and volatility conditions.
No Guarantee of Execution: While a 90% retracement probability is high, it means 10% of the time, price did NOT retrace. Always use proper risk management.
Technical Notes
The indicator uses hourly timeframe data via request.security() to determine previous hour values
Sweep detection occurs in real-time on the chart's timeframe
Statistics are hardcoded from the comprehensive backtested analysis (not calculated on-the-fly)
The indicator stores static values at the start of each hour to ensure consistency as the hour progresses
All percentage values are rounded to one decimal place for clarity
This indicator provides a statistically-grounded framework for understanding hourly price behavior in NQ futures. By combining real-time pattern detection with comprehensive historical analysis, it offers traders probabilistic insights to inform decision-making process within the specific context of each trading hour.

[ASFX] Free Automatic VWAPsAutomatic VWAP & Key Levels
Overview
This indicator is designed to help traders evaluate VWAP interactions in context, rather than treating every VWAP touch as a trade opportunity. It combines VWAP with a momentum-based directional filter to highlight situations where price interaction with VWAP is supported by broader intraday momentum. This indicator also shows you the initial balance and opening range each day.
Concept and Originality
VWAP is commonly used as an institutional reference level, but VWAP alone does not distinguish between meaningful acceptance/rejection and random intraday chop. This script addresses that limitation by conditioning VWAP interactions with a momentum filter. Signals are only displayed when price location and momentum alignment occur together, allowing traders to focus on higher-quality VWAP reactions instead of monitoring multiple indicators separately.
How It Works
• VWAP is used as the primary price reference level.
• A momentum filter evaluates directional bias and participation.
• Visual signals appear only when price is interacting with VWAP and momentum confirms acceptance or rejection in the same direction.
• No signals are shown during low-momentum or sideways conditions around VWAP.
How to Use
This indicator is best used as a confirmation tool, not as a standalone trading system. It is intended to assist traders in filtering VWAP-based trade ideas by highlighting when conditions are aligned versus when price is simply chopping around VWAP.
Markets and Timeframes
• Designed for index futures such as ES and NQ
• Optimized for intraday trading
• Works best on lower timeframes (1–5 minute charts)
Limitations
• Not predictive
• Not a complete trading strategy
• Does not replace price action analysis, trade management, or risk control
• Signals should be evaluated alongside market structure and context
CSA / Infinity MKR / Final Pro [NPR21}Title: CSA – Precision Infinity MKR & Confluence Dashboard
The Institutional Edge: Multi-Kernel Smoothing & Real-Time Confluence
The CSA Precision Infinity MKR is an advanced trend-following suite that replaces traditional, lagging EMAs with a high-performance Multi-Kernel Regression (MKR) engine. Designed for the "Top Center" of the chart, this script features our proprietary Infinity Bridge —a logic system that ensures your trend signal never breaks or snaps, tracking price action with surgical precision directly to the live candle.
Key Technical Features
1
7-Kernel Smoothing Engine: Unlike standard indicators, you can cycle through 17 different mathematical kernels (Sinc, Gaussian, Lorentzian, etc.) to match the specific volatility of any asset class, from high-cap Stocks to volatile Crypto.
The Infinity Bridge: We solved the "broken line" issue. Our script bridges historical regression math with live price data, providing a continuous, seamless trend line that never lags behind the current price.
15-Indicator Confluence HUD: A professional "Heads-Up Display" tracks 15 momentum and trend metrics (Heikin Ashi, SuperTrend, TTM, RSI, etc.) simultaneously. It does the heavy lifting so you can focus on execution.
High-Vis Neon Aesthetics: Built for dark-mode traders. Featuring Neon Fluorescent Green and Bright Red trend lines with a high-contrast dark green dashboard for zero eye strain.
Trader’s Manual: How to Trade the Suite
Step 1: Identify the Regime (The MKR Line)
Bullish: When the MKR line is Neon Green , you are in a buy-only regime.
Bearish: When the MKR line is Bright Red , you are in a sell-only regime.
The Curve: Watch the "hook" of the line. When the line begins to curve toward price, a trend shift is imminent.
Step 2: Confirm Confluence (The Dashboard)
Look at the CONFIRMED tally on the far right of the HUD:
Strong Buy (11/15 – 15/15): Deep green signal. High-probability entry.
Caution (7/15 – 10/15): Orange signal. The trend is weakening or consolidating.
No Trade (Below 7/15) : Red signal. High risk of "chop" or reversal. Avoid new entries.
Step 3: Check the "Non-Trending" Filter
Look for the Non-Trending cell. If it is Dark Blue , the market has officially entered a "Trending State." If it is Gray, the market is sideways, and signals should be taken with caution.
Settings & Customization
Thickness: Defaulted to 3px for a strong chart presence.
Styles: Fully adjustable Solid, Dashed, and Dotted options in the Inputs tab.
Alerts: Built-in alert conditions for Strong Confluence (11/15) and State Flips (Long to Short).
Gann Octave 8 Ver.2.0Gann Octave 8 Ver.2.0 - Complete Trading Guide
Overview
This indicator combines W.D. Gann's time-tested principles of market geometry with modern technical analysis. It identifies key market structures and projects precise support/resistance levels along with angular momentum lines to help traders identify high-probability trading opportunities.
________________________________________
Core Concepts
1. Gann's Octave Division (The Rule of 8)
W.D. Gann discovered that markets move in harmonic divisions based on the number 8. This indicator divides any swing movement into 8 equal parts (octaves):
• 0% - Swing extreme (High for bearish, Low for bullish)
• 12.5% - First octave
• 25% - Quarter level
• 37.5% - Three-eighths level
• 50% - Midpoint (most critical level)
• 62.5% - Five-eighths level
• 75% - Three-quarter level
• 87.5% - Seventh octave
• 100% - Swing extreme (opposite end)
Why 8? Gann believed natural market cycles follow mathematical harmonics. The octave division provides precise entry and exit points that frequently act as support/resistance zones.
2. Gann Angles (Price-Time Relationship)
Gann angles represent the relationship between price movement and time. Each angle shows different momentum levels:
• 1x1 (Black) - 45° angle, perfect balance between price and time. Most important Gann angle. Represents the natural trend line.
• 2x1 (Red) - Steeper angle, 2 units of price per 1 unit of time. Shows strong momentum.
• 1x2 (Red) - Flatter angle, 1 unit of price per 2 units of time. Shows weak momentum.
• 4x1 & 1x4 (Blue) - Even more extreme angles indicating very strong or very weak trends.
• 8x1 & 1x8 (Orange) - Most extreme angles, parabolic moves or complete consolidation.
Key Principle: When price is above the 1x1 angle = bullish. Below 1x1 = bearish. When price crosses from one angle to another, it signals a change in momentum.
________________________________________
How the Indicator Works
Structure Detection
The indicator automatically identifies market swings using pivot points:
1. Bullish Structure (Green): Detected when price makes a higher high
o Octave levels calculated from swing low (0%) to swing high (100%)
o Gann angles project upward from the swing low
2. Bearish Structure (Red): Detected when price makes a lower low
o Octave levels calculated from swing high (0%) to swing low (100%)
o Gann angles project downward from the swing high
Dynamic Updates
• Swing Tracker ON: Levels update continuously as the swing evolves
• Swing Tracker OFF: Levels lock at the initial swing detection (cleaner charts)

• Stop Loss: Below the support level (0.5-1% below)
• Target: Next octave level up (12.5%, 25%, 50%)
Signal 2: Breakout Above Resistance
• Price breaks above 50% or 100% level with momentum
• Confirms trend continuation or reversal
• Entry: On close above the level
• Stop Loss: Below the breakout level
• Target: Previous swing high or next major level
Signal 3: Gann Angle Support

Advanced Trading Techniques
1. The 50% Rule (Most Powerful)
The 50% octave level is the most critical in Gann theory:
• In Uptrend: Price should not break below 50% retracement. If it holds = trend intact, go long.
• In Downtrend: Price should not break above 50% retracement. If it holds = trend intact, go short.
• Reversal: Breaking and closing beyond 50% often signals trend reversal.
2. Gann Angle Confluence
When multiple Gann angles converge with octave levels = HIGH probability zone:
• Look for price to bounce or reverse at these zones
• Example: 1x2 angle meets 50% level = strong support/resistance
• These zones often become pivot points
3. Multiple Timeframe Analysis
• Use higher timeframe (daily) for major structure
• Use lower timeframe (5min, 15min) for precise entries
• Take trades when both timeframes align
4. Swing Failure Pattern
• Price breaks a key level (e.g., 50%) but quickly reverses back
• This "false breakout" often leads to strong move in opposite direction
• Wait for signal in the reversal direction

## 📚 ICT Concepts Explained
### **Liquidity Sweep:**
Smart money intentionally pushes price beyond key levels to trigger retail stop losses, then reverses to their intended direction. The X marker identifies these moments.
### **Swing Failure Pattern (SFP):**
Price attempts to make a new high/low but lacks follow-through, indicating weak momentum and likely reversal. Similar to a "false breakout" but more specific to swing structures.
### **Supply & Demand Zones:**
- **Red zones** = Areas where selling pressure overwhelmed buyers
- **Green zones** = Areas where buying pressure overwhelmed sellers
- These zones act as magnets for price to return and react

Session Opening Bar RangeSession Opening Bar Range (OBR) - Advanced Opening Range Indicator with Statistical Analysis
Overview
The Session First Bar Range (FBR) indicator is a comprehensive tool that captures and projects key levels based on the first bar of a user-defined trading session. Unlike traditional daily opening range indicators, this script allows traders to focus on specific session windows (New York RTH, London, Asia, etc.) and analyze price behavior relative to the initial momentum established in that session's opening bar.
What makes this indicator unique is its combination of three distinct projection methodologies: statistical analysis based on historical range data, Fibonacci extensions, and fixed-point rotation levels commonly used by institutional traders. To our knowledge, this is the only opening range indicator that incorporates statistical standard deviation levels calculated from historical first bar ranges, making it both a technical and probabilistic tool.
Core Concept
The opening range concept is based on the principle that the initial price action of a trading session often sets the tone for the remainder of that session.
Professional traders have long observed that:
The first bar's high and low act as key reference points
Price often respects or breaks these levels with significance
Expansion beyond the opening range tends to occur in measurable increments
This indicator takes these observations and enhances them with:
Historical probability analysis - "Based on the last 60 sessions, price typically extends X standard deviations beyond the opening range"
Proportional projections - Fibonacci-based extensions showing where measured moves typically target
Fixed-point rotations - Institutional rotation levels (e.g., 65 points for NQ, 15 points for ES)
How It Works
Session Detection & First Bar Capture
The indicator uses Pine Script's time() function with timezone support to precisely detect when a trading session begins. When the first bar of the selected timeframe occurs within the session window, the script captures:
High (H): The high of the first bar
Low (L): The low of the first bar
Mid (M): The midpoint (hl2) of the first bar
Critical Detail: These levels are fixed from the first bar only - they do not update as the session progresses. This differs from many "opening range" indicators that use a time period (e.g., first 30 minutes). Here, you select the bar timeframe (default 5-minute), and only that single first bar's range is captured.
Statistical Level Calculation
The indicator maintains a rolling array of the last N session's first bar ranges (default: 60 sessions). For each new session, it calculates:
Average Range: Mean of historical first bar ranges
Standard Deviation: Volatility of those ranges
Projection Levels: High/Low ± (Average Range + Std Dev × Multiplier)
This provides probability-based levels. For example, a +2σ level suggests: "Historically, price extending this far beyond the opening range is a 2-standard-deviation event (approximately 95th percentile)."
Fibonacci Extensions
Using the first bar range as the base unit (100%), the indicator projects Fibonacci levels:
100% extension: One full range above the high / below the low
1.618x extension: (Default) Golden ratio projection
2.618x, 3.618x extensions: Additional Fibonacci levels
Calculation: Range = H - L, then Target = H + (Range × Multiplier) for upside projections.
OR Rotation Levels
These are fixed-point increments from the first bar's high and low. Unlike percentage-based methods, rotations use absolute point values:
NQ traders often use 65-point increments
ES traders often use 15-point increments
Gold/bonds use different values
The indicator draws 5 levels above the high (R+1 through R+5) and 5 below the low (R-1 through R-5), each separated by your specified point increment.

Use Cases
Gap Trading: When price gaps away from previous day's close, the first bar range shows the initial gap acceptance/rejection zone
Breakout Confirmation: Price breaking and holding above the first bar high with volume suggests trend day potential. Rotation levels provide measured targets.
Reversal Identification: Price reaching +2σ statistical level = rare event, potential exhaustion
Range Bound Days: Price oscillating between first bar high/low suggests range-bound session; trade reversals at extremes
Institutional Level Awareness: OR Rotations at 65 points (NQ) align with levels professional traders watch
Technical Notes
The indicator uses request.security() with lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on to ensure the first bar levels are captured correctly
All drawing objects (lines, labels, fills) are managed in arrays with automatic cleanup to prevent memory issues
The statistical calculations use array.avg() and array.stdev() for accurate probability estimates
Rotation levels use individual line variables (like Fibonacci) rather than loops for reliability
Summary
This indicator is original in its combination of three distinct methodologies for projecting levels from a session's opening range:
Statistical Analysis - No other opening range indicator (to our knowledge) calculates standard deviation projections from historical first bar ranges
Time-Based Session Flexibility - Most OR indicators use only daily or fixed time periods; this allows any custom session window
Multiple Projection Methods - Traders can use statistical, Fibonacci, AND rotation levels together or separately
TRADING NAVIGATOR📘 TRADING NAVIGATOR OPERATIONS MANUAL
This manual is designed to turn the script into your complete trading plan.
1. The Golden Rule: Planetary Alignment
Success with this script is not about trading every signal, but waiting for the confluence. Golden Trick: Do not trade on low timeframes (15M) if the trend on the higher timeframe (4H or D) is contrary. The Master Signal: Enter when the RELIABILITY column marks "HIGH" on at least 3 consecutive timeframes.
2. How to open a LONG (Buy) position: Look for these exact conditions on the board: TREND: It should say "BULLISH" (Price above the 200 EMA). ACTION: It should be marked LONG. ENTRY: The price should be near or touching the value indicated in the SUPPORT column. RSI: Ideally between 35 and 45 (healthy pullback) or crossing above 30. Execution: Place your limit order at the ENTRY price on the chart. The TP and SL are your mandatory exit coordinates.
3. How to open a SHORT (Sell) position: Look for these exact conditions on the board: TREND: It should say "BEARISH" (Price below the 200 EMA). ACTION: It should be marked SHORT. ENTRY: The price should be near or touching the value indicated in the RESIST column. (Resistance). RSI: Ideally between 55 and 65 or crossing below 70. Execution: Limit order at the ENTRY price on the chart. Don't chase the price; let it rise to the resistance to enter.
4. Golden Tricks to Gain Consistency: The Volatility Filter: If the VOLAT column shows "HIGH," reduce your position size by half. High volatility means sharp movements that can hit your SL before reaching the TP. The Timeframe Jump: If you see a LONG position on the 15M chart but the trend on the D (Daily) chart is BEARISH, that trade is high risk (pure Scalping). If both are BULLISH, you have a "High Probability Trade." RSI as a sentinel: If the RSI is at 50, the market is indecisive. Wait for it to approach the extremes (30 or 70) so that the Navigator's ACTION has more rebound strength.
5. Recommended Markets:
The TRADING NAVIGATOR is a structure and volatility algorithm, so it works where there is liquidity: Market | Effectiveness | Why |
Cryptocurrencies | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ATR volatility is best exploited in BTC and ETH. |
Indices (Nasdaq/SP500) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ideal for following the TREND column (EMA 200). |
Forex (Majors) | ⭐⭐⭐ Use it on high-volume pairs (EURUSD, GBPUSD). |
Gold / Oil | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very sensitive to the support and resistance levels calculated by the script. |
6. Risk Management (Psychology) | Accepts Stop Loss: The script calculates the SL at 2.0x ATR to give the price "breathing room". If it is touched, the structure has been broken. Don't move the Stop Loss. Partial Taking: When the price has moved 50% of the way to the Take Profit, move your Stop Loss to the ENTRY (Breakeven) price. This ensures that the trade can no longer result in losses.
Heikin Ashi Wick Strategy
🔥 Heikin Ashi Wick Momentum Strategy
“Trade momentum decay before the trend breaks.
>> FOCUS ON WICKS, NOT ONLY CANDLE COLOR<<
What Makes This Different (Traffic Driver)
✔ Uses Heikin Ashi wicks (almost nobody does this correctly)
✔ Captures trend continuation, not breakouts
✔ Exits before momentum collapse, not after
✔ Non-repainting
✔ Clean charts, instant readability
This Strategy Is REALLY Trading
This is a Heikin Ashi momentum-decay system:
• Enters when trend is strong but not euphoric
• Exits when:
o Trend stops probing higher
o Sellers gain relative strength
It avoids:
• Chasing strong breakout candles
• Holding through momentum rollovers
Candle Type Used: Heikin Ashi (manually calculated)
NOTE: The script does not use regular candles.
It reconstructs Heikin Ashi (HA) candles from raw OHLC:
• HA Close = average of open, high, low, close
• HA Open = midpoint of prior HA candle (smoothed)

________________________________________
8️⃣ Weaknesses (Important)
⚠️ No stop loss (only structure-based exits)
⚠️ Can exit too early in explosive trends
⚠️ Will chop in sideways markets
⚠️ No volatility filter (ATR, EMA, regime)
How to Avoid the Weaknesses — Summary
Turn the setup from a concept into a robust strategy by adding these controls:
1. Trade Only Trends
o Require price above EMA-21 (optionally EMA-21 > EMA-50)
o Eliminates chop and sideways markets
2. Improve Exits (Avoid Leaving Winners Too Early)
o Partial exit when upper wick disappears
o Full exit only when lower wick dominates
o Optional: require 2 consecutive exit candles
3. Add Risk Protection
o Use a volatility stop: ~1.5× ATR(14) below entry or below HA swing low
o Protects against gaps and sudden reversals
4. Filter Weak Signals
o Require meaningful wick size (≈30–40% of candle range)
o Avoids low-quality indecision candles
5. Avoid Bad Volatility
o Skip entries when ATR is expanding aggressively
o Focus on calmer, controllable trends
6. Limit Time in Trade
o Add a max bars hold (e.g., 10–15 bars on daily)
o Prevents capital getting stuck in fading trends

Buy / Sell Volume Header [NPR21]Description
Buy / Sell Volume Header displays real-time Buy vs Sell volume dominance in a clean, fixed header that stays anchored to the chart.
Instead of plotting labels on candles or cluttering the chart, this indicator presents volume information in a compact, side-by-side header , making it easy to see who is in control of the current bar —buyers or sellers—at a glance.
The design is intentionally Thinkorswim-style : bold, readable, and optimized for fast decision-making during live markets.
How It Works:
Buy and Sell volume are estimated using candle structure:
Buy Volume is calculated from the portion of the candle that closes above the low
Sell Volume is calculated from the portion of the candle that closes below the high
Percentages show relative dominance for the most recently confirmed bar
The header updates only on confirmed bars, ensuring the display is non-repainting.
How to Use
This indicator is best used as a confirmation tool, not a standalone signal.
Common use cases:
Confirming buyer vs seller control
Adding volume bias to:
Breakouts and pullbacks
VWAP / EMA / trend strategies
Market structure and BOS setups
Quickly gauging pressure during:
Ranges
High-volume rejection zones
Trend continuation vs exhaustion
When Buy volume dominates, it suggests buyers are in control of the current bar.
When Sell volume dominates, it suggests selling pressure is stronger.
Always use in context with price action and structure.
Features
Fixed header (no chart clutter)
Side-by-side Buy | Sell layout
Bold, high-contrast colors
White text for maximum readability
Comma-formatted volume values
Non-repainting (confirmed bars only)
Customizable header location
Notes
This is an estimated volume model, not true bid/ask or footprint data
Results may vary depending on instrument and timeframe
Designed for intraday and futures trading, but works on any market with volume
Universal Moving Average🙏🏻 UMA (Universal Moving Average) represents the most natural and prolly ‘the’ final general universal entity for calculating rolling typical value for any type of time-series. Simply via different weighting schemes applied together, it encodes:
Location of each datapoint in corresponding fields (price, time, volume)
Informational relevance of each datapoint via using windowing functions that are fundamental in nature and go beyond DSP inventions & approximations
Innovation in state space (in our case = volatility)
The real beauty of this development: being simply a weighting scheme that can be applied to anything: be it weighted median , weighted quantile regression, or weighted KDE , or a simple weighted mean (like in this script). As long as a method accepts weights, you can harness the power of this entity. It means that final algorithmic complexity will match your initial tool.
As a moving ‘average’ it beats ALMA, KAMA, MAMA, VIDYA and all others because it is a simple and general entity, and all it does is encoding ‘all’ available information. I think that post might anger a lot of people, because lotta things will be realized as legacy and many paywalls gonna be ignored, specially for the followers of DSP cult, the ones who yet don’t understand that aggregated tick data is not a signal omg, it’s a completely different type of time series where your methods simply don’t fit even closely. I am also sorry to inform y’all, that spectral analysis is much closer to state-space methods in spirit than to DSP. But in fact DSP is cool and I love it, well for actual signals xD
...
Weights explained & how to use them: as I already said, the whole thing is based on combining different set of weights, and you can turn them on/off in script settings. Btw I've set em up defaults so you can use the thing on price data out of the box right away.
Price, Time, Volume weights: encode location of every datapoint in Price & TIme & Volume field
Howtouse: u have to disable one weight that corresponds to the field you apply UMA to. E.g if you apply UMA to prices, you turn off price weighting And turn on time and volume weighting. Or if you apply UMA to volume delta, you turn off volume weighting And turn on price and time weighting.
Higher prices are more important, this asymmetry is confirmed and even proved by the fact that prices can’t be negative (don’t even mention that incorrect rollover on CL contract in 2k20...).
Signal weights: encode actuality/importance/relevance of datapoints.
Howtouse: in DSP terms, it provides smoothing, but also compensates for the lag it introduces. This smoothness is useful if you use slope reversals for signal generation aka watching peaks and valleys in a moving average shape. It's also better to perturb smoothed outputs with this , this way you inject high freq content back, But in controlled way!
Signal = information.
The fundamental universal entity behind so-called “smoothing” in DSP has nothing to do with signals and goes eons beyond DSP. This is simply about measuring the relevance of data in time.
First, new datapoints need some time to be “embedded” into the timeline, you can think of it as time proof, kinda stuff needs time to be proved, accepted; while earliest datapoints lose relevance in time.
Second, along with the first notion, at the same time there’s the counter notion that simply weights new data more, acting as a counterweight from the down-weighting of the latest datapoints introduced by the first notion.
The first part can be represented as PDF of beta(2, 2) window (a set of weights in our case). It’s actually well known as the Welch window, that lives in between so called statistical and DSP worlds, emerges in multiple contexts. Mainstream DSP users tho mostly don’t use this one, they use primitive legacy windowing function, you can find all kinds on this wiki page.
Now the second part, where DSP adepts usually stop, is to introduce the second compensating windowing function. Instead they try to reduce window size, or introduce other kinds of volatility weights, do some tricks, but it ain’t provides obviously. The natural step here is to simply use the integral of the initial window; if the initial window is beta(2, 2) then what we simply need is CDF of beta(2, 2), in fact the vertically inverted shape of it aka survival function . That’s it bros. Simply as that.
When both of these are applied you have smth magical, your output becomes smooth and yet not lagging. No arbitrary windowing functions, tricks with data modification etc
Why beta(2, 2)? It naturally arises in many contexts, it’s based on one of the most fundamental functions in the universe: x^2. It has finite support. I can talk more bout it on request, but I am absolutely sure this is it.
^^ impulse response of the resulting weighs together (green) compared with uniform weights aka boxcar (red). Made with this script .
Weighing by state: encodes state-space innovation of each datapoint, basically magnitude of changes, strength of these changes, aka volatility.
Howtouse: this makes your moving average volatility aware in proper math ways. The influence of datapoints will be stronger when changes are stronger. This is weighting by innovations, or weighting by volatility by using squared returns.
Why squared returns? They encode state‑space innovations properly because the innovation of any continuous‑time semimartingale is about its quadratic variation, and quadratic variation is built from squared increments, not absolute increments.
Adaptive length is not the right way to introduce adaptivity by volatility xD. When you weight datapoints by squared returns you’re already dynamically varying ‘effective’ data size, you don’t need anything else.
...
It’s all good, progress happens, that’s how the Universe works, that's how Universal Moving Average works. Time to evolve. I might update other scripts with this complete weighting scheme, either by my own desire or your request.

ICT Precision Turtle Soup NuNi1. Identify the CRT Range (The Context)
Before looking for a trade, the indicator defines the Candle Range Theory (CRT) boundaries based on your lookback period.
CRT High (Red Line): Represents old buy-side liquidity.
CRT Low (Green Line): Represents old sell-side liquidity.
HTF Filter: The code ensures the higher timeframe trend (e.g., 4H) aligns with your direction. Only look for Buys if the HTF trend is bullish.
2. The Manipulation (Turtle Soup 🐢)
Wait for price to move outside the CRT boundaries.
The Trap: Price must sweep below the CRT Low or above the CRT High.
The Reclaim: A Turtle Body Soup (TBS) occurs when the candle body closes back inside the range, or a wick rejection happens.
Symbol: A 🐢 icon will appear on the chart. Do not entry yet. This is just a warning that a setup is forming.
3. The Shift & Momentum (The Trigger)
To ensure a high-probability entry, the indicator waits for two technical confirmations:
MSS (Market Structure Shift): Price must break the most recent swing high (for Buys) or swing low (for Sells).
Displacement: The breaking candle must be "displaced"—meaning it has a large, energetic body compared to previous candles. This proves that big banks/institutions are moving the price.
4. The Entry Execution
Once all conditions are met, the "⭐ PRECISION ENTRY" label will appear.
Execution: You can enter at the market price when the label appears.
Retest Entry: Alternatively, look for the price to return to the IFVG or Breaker Zone (the shaded box) drawn by the indicator for a more refined entry.
Williams Fractals / Goldilocks Edition / [NPR21]This indicator, Williams Fractals — Goldilocks Edition , is a high-visibility technical analysis tool designed to identify key price reversal points on your chart. It is a refined version of the classic Williams Fractal, optimized for modern dark-themed trading environments with an emphasis on clarity and precise visual anchoring.
Indicator Description
The indicator identifies local price peaks (Highs) and valleys (Lows) using a specific look-back and look-forward period. Unlike standard fractals that can be difficult to read, this version features:
Enhanced Contrast: Darkened background labels (Deep Teal for Buy, Deep Red for Sell) that make the white and yellow text highly legible.
Long "V" Stems: Integrated arrow extensions that bridge the gap between the label and the candle, pointing precisely to the pivot point to remove any ambiguity during high volatility.
Customizable Spacing: User-defined offsets that allow the labels to sit comfortably above or below price action without overlapping other indicators.
How to Use It
Identify Reversals: A BUY signal appears under a local low, suggesting a potential upward move. A SELL signal appears above a local high, suggesting a potential downward move.
Support & Resistance: Use the fractal points to draw horizontal support and resistance lines.
Trend Confirmation: Fractals are most effective when used in conjunction with other indicators (like the EMA or WMA visible in your setup) to confirm trend direction.
Wait for Confirmation: Remember that a fractal is only "confirmed" after $n$ bars have closed to the right of the signal.
Understanding the "Periods (n)" Setting
The frequency of signals is entirely dependent on your Periods (n) input.
Lower Values (e.g., n=2): The indicator will find many local pivots, resulting in more frequent signals. This is useful for scalping or lower timeframes but may lead to more "noise".
Higher Values (e.g., n=5 or 10): The indicator requires a more significant peak or valley to trigger, resulting in fewer, more significant signals. This is better for identifying major trend shifts.
