Rolling Midpoint of Price & VWAP with ATR BandsThe Rolling Midpoint of Price & VWAP with ATR Bands indicator is a dual-equilibrium concept that fuses price-range structure and traded-volume flow into one continuously updating hybrid model. Traditional VWAPs reset each session and reflect where trading occurred by volume, while midpoints used here reveal where price has structurally balanced between extremes. This script merges both ideas into a cohesive, dynamic system. The Rolling Price Midpoint (50 % of range) represents the structural fair-value line, calculated as the average of the highest high and lowest low over a selected window. The Rolling VWAP (Volume-Weighted Window) tracks the flow-based fair-value line by weighting each bar’s typical price by its volume. Together, these components form the Hybrid Equilibrium — the adaptive center of gravity that shifts as price and volume evolve. Surrounding this equilibrium, ATR Bands at ± 2.226 ATR and ± 5.382 ATR define volatility envelopes that expand and contract with market energy. The result is a living cloud that breathes with the market: compressing during phases of balance and widening during impulsive movements, offering traders a clear visual framework for understanding equilibrium, volatility, and directional bias in real time.

⚙️ Auto-Preset System
The Auto-Preset System intelligently adjusts lookback windows for both the Price Midpoint and VWAP calculations according to the active chart timeframe.
This ensures that the indicator automatically adapts to any trading style — from scalping on 1-minute charts to swing trading on daily or weekly charts — without manual tuning.
🔹 How It Works
When Auto-Preset mode is enabled, the script dynamically selects the most effective lookback lengths for each timeframe.
These presets are optimized to balance responsiveness and stability, maintaining consistent real-world coverage (e.g., the same approximate duration of price data) across all intervals.
📊 Preset Mapping Table
| Chart Timeframe | Price Midpoint Lookback | VWAP Lookback |
|:----------------:|:-----------------------:|:--------------:|
| 1–3m | 13 bars | 21 bars
| 5–10m | 21 bars | 34 bars
| 15–30m | 34 bars | 55 bars
| 1–2 hr | 55 bars | 89 bars
| 4 hr-1D | 89 bars | 144 bars
| 1W | 144 bars | 233 bars
| 1M | 233 bars | 377 bars
⚡ Notes & Customization
- Manual Override: Turn off Auto-Preset Mode to specify your own custom lookback lengths.
- Consistency Across Scales: These adaptive values keep the indicator visually coherent when switching between timeframes — avoiding distortions that can occur with static lengths.
- Practical Benefit: Traders can maintain a single chart layout that self-tunes seamlessly, removing the need to manually recalibrate settings when shifting from short-term to long-term analysis.
In short, the Auto-Preset System is designed to make this hybrid equilibrium tool timeframe-aware — automatically scaling its logic so that the cloud behaves consistently, regardless of chart resolution.

🌐 Hybrid Equilibrium Envelope
The core hybrid midpoint acts as the mean of structural (price) and volumetric (VWAP) balance.
ATR-based bands project natural expansion zones:
🔸+2.226 / –2.226 ATR → inner equilibrium (controlled trend)
*🔸+5.382 / –5.382 ATR → outer volatility extension (over-stretch / reversion zones)
Color-coded fills show regime strength:
* 🟧 Upper Outer (+5.382) – strong bullish expansion
* 🟩 Upper Inner (+2.226) – trending equilibrium
* 🔴 Lower Inner (–2.226) – mild bearish control
* 🟣 Lower Outer (–5.382) – volatility exhaustion
➖
🧭 Higher-Timeframe Framework
Two macro anchors — Price length of 144 and VWAP length of 233 — outline higher-timeframe bias zones. These help confirm when local momentum aligns with (or fades against) long-term structure.
Labels on the right show active lookback values for quick readout:
`$(13) V(21)` → current rolling pair
`$144 / V233` → macro anchors

🧩 Chart Examples
**AMD 15m (Equilibrium Expansion)**
Price steadily rides above the hybrid midpoint as teal and orange (bullish) ATR zones widen, confirming a phase of controlled bullish volatility and healthy trend expansion.
BTCUSD 1m (Volatility Compression)
Bitcoin coils tightly inside the teal-to-maroon equilibrium bands before breaking out.
The hybrid midpoint flattens and ATR envelopes contract, signaling a state of balance before volatility expansion.
ETHUSD 15m (Transition from Compression → Impulse)
Ethereum transitions from purple-zone compression into a clear upper-band expansion.
The hybrid midpoint breaks above the macro VWAP 233, confirming the shift from equilibrium to directional momentum.
SOFI 1m (Micro Bias Reversal)
SOFI’s intraday structure flips as price reclaims the hybrid midpoint.
The macro VWAP 233 flattens, signaling a transition from oversold lower bands back toward equilibrium and early trend recovery.

Turn your back on me Scar ~_^What it does
Multi-timeframe support/resistance built from confirmed swing pivots on the timeframes you enable (5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W). Levels are timeframe-invariant: the same prices show up whether you view the chart on 1m, 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D, or 1W.
How it works (simple)
Finds confirmed pivot highs/lows in each selected TF (no lookahead).
Brings those pivot prices to your chart and stores them as S/R candidates.
Optionally merges near-duplicate levels (within N ticks).
Draws up to X past levels per side (you choose the number).
Each line can show a small TF tag (e.g., “1H R”, “15m S”) so you know where it came from.
Why it stays the same across chart TFs
The “last pivots” are counted inside each source timeframe first, then displayed—so a 5m level is the same number no matter which chart timeframe you’re on.
Inputs
Pivot Left / Right – strictness of swing confirmation.
Enable TFs – 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W. (No 30m in this version.)
How many past levels per side – choose 5, 50, 500, etc.
Merge levels within N ticks – reduces clutter by combining overlapping lines.
Colors & widths – separate styling for Support/Resistance.
Show TF labels – toggle small tags on each line.
Notes & tips
Uses confirmed pivots; once a pivot is confirmed, its line does not repaint (new pivots will appear after right bars).
If you crank past levels very high with many TFs enabled, you may hit TradingView’s drawing limits—lower the count or increase merge ticks.
Works on any symbol and timeframe; outputs are consistent across chart TFs by design.
This script focuses only on S/R (no HH/HL/LH/LL, BOS/CHOCH, FVGs, or order blocks).

Cumulative Volume DeltaCumulative Volume Delta (CVD) Indicator
This indicator is a modification of the Trading View CVD indicator. Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD), which represents the net difference between up volume (volume traded as the price increases) and down volume (volume traded as the price decreases) over a chosen Anchor Period.
The data for the CVD calculation is requested using the built-in ta.requestVolumeDelta function from a lower timeframe to approximate the directional volume with greater precision. This lower timeframe is either automatically selected based on the chart's timeframe or can be customized by the user.
Key Features and Inputs
Anchor Period: Defines the period over which the volume delta is accumulated and plotted. The default is "1D" (Daily), but it can be changed to any higher timeframe (e.g., "1W" for Weekly) to analyze CVD across different cycles.
CVD Candle Plot: The calculated volume delta values are plotted as a custom candle, where:
The open and close of the CVD candle represent the volume delta at the start and end of the anchor period, respectively.
The high and low represent the maximum and minimum volume delta reached during that period.
Up/Down Coloring Logic: The color of the CVD candle is determined by the directional movement of the price during the anchor period, allowing traders to quickly correlate volume delta with price action. Users can select between two methods via the "Strong Up/Down Coloring" input:
Strong Up/Down (Default): The candle is colored bullish (Teal) if the current price closes above the previous bar's high or bearish (Red) if it closes below the previous bar's low. This logic highlights significant momentum.
Regular Up/Down: The candle is colored bullish (Teal) if the close is greater than the open (price moved up) or bearish (Red) if the close is less than the open (price moved down).
Lower Timeframe Selection: This determines the resolution of the up and down volume components.
By default, the script automatically selects an appropriate lower timeframe (e.g., "1" minute for intraday charts, "5" minutes for daily charts) to balance historical data availability with calculation precision.
An option is provided to customize this "Lower Timeframe" for advanced users seeking higher or lower resolution.
The CVD indicator is a powerful tool for analyzing order flow dynamics and assessing the genuine strength of price movements by comparing the aggregate buying pressure (up volume) against the selling pressure (down volume).
Technical Notes (Code Details)
Language: Pine Script® //@version=6.
Function: Utilizes the ta.requestVolumeDelta() function with a user-defined anchorInput (default "1D") and a determined lowerTimeframe to retrieve the relevant delta data: .
Error Handling: Includes a check to confirm the symbol provides volume data, preventing runtime errors.
Multi Brownian Forecast📊 Multi Brownian Forecast (Time-Adaptive, Probabilistic)
This indicator uses a sophisticated Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) Monte Carlo simulation to project future price paths. It adapts to any chart timeframe and provides quantitative, multi-period probability signals.
---
🧠 Core Mathematical Methodology
The model relies on GBM, which is a continuous-time stochastic process that models asset prices.
1. Historical Analysis (Drift & Volatility):
* The script first calculates Logarithmic Returns over a user-defined Historical Lookback (Hours) .
* Drift ($\mu$): Computed as the average of the log returns.
* Volatility ($\sigma$): Computed as the standard deviation of the log returns.
* These values are then time-adapted to an hourly step, compensating for the chart's current timeframe (e.g., 5-minute, 1-hour).
2. Monte Carlo Simulation:
* It runs a specified Number of Simulations (e.g., 1000).
* For each simulation, the price is stepped forward hourly using the GBM formula, which incorporates the calculated drift and a random shock drawn from a normal distribution (generated via the Box-Muller transform ).
---
✨ Key Features
Probabilistic Quartile Forecast: Plots a dynamic "cone" of probability on the chart. It shows key price percentiles (Q1, Q2/Median, Q3, and Q4/Outer Bound) at the forecast's expiration, visualizing the expected range of price outcomes based on the simulations.
Multi-Period Probability Signals: This is the core signal feature. Users can define multiple, independent forecast periods (e.g., 4h, 16h, 48h) in a comma-separated list.
* For each period, a Probability Up and Probability Down is calculated based on hitting a custom Target Price Change (%) (e.g., 2%) at a certain confidence level given a simulation over the historical backlook.
* The probabilities are displayed in a chart table. The cell text turns white if the calculated probability exceeds the user-defined Signal Confidence (%) .
Conditional Fibonacci Retracement: Optionally displays a Fibonacci Retracement on the chart. This feature is only activated when one of the multi-period signals reaches its minimum confidence threshold, providing a contextual technical level when a probabilistic edge is found.
EMA × MOST CrossThe EMA × MOST Cross indicator combines the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) with the Moving Stop (MOST) system to identify early trend reversals and confirm trend continuation phases.
MOST acts as a dynamic trailing stop that adapts to price volatility, while EMA provides directional bias and short-term momentum confirmation.
A BUY signal is generated when EMA crosses above the MOST line, indicating a possible bullish reversal or trend continuation.
A SELL signal is triggered when EMA crosses below the MOST line, suggesting bearish continuation or reversal conditions.
The indicator colors bars according to the EMA–MOST relationship to visually represent trend strength:
🟩 Green tones → bullish bias (EMA and price above MOST)
🟥 Red tones → bearish bias (EMA and price below MOST)
🟦 Aqua → neutral phase or transition zone
How to use:
Works best on trending markets and mid-term timeframes (e.g., 1h, 4h, 1D).
Combine it with volume or structure-based confirmations for higher accuracy.
Use the built-in parameters to fine-tune sensitivity:
MOST MA length: adjusts the responsiveness of the MOST line.
MOST percent: defines the offset distance of the stop bands.
EMA length: defines the crossover sensitivity.
Updated settings:
Default MOST Length: 5
Default MOST Percent: 1.5%
Concept:
This script refines the traditional MOST logic by pairing it with an EMA cross mechanism, aiming to filter false reversals and improve entry timing. It’s designed for traders who prefer clear, visual cross-based trend confirmation while maintaining adjustable flexibility for different instruments.
Round Numbers (Plotter) v2The *Round Numbers (Plotter) v2* indicator highlights key psychological price levels on the chart — the so-called *round numbers* (e.g. 1.1000 on EURUSD or23,000 on NASDAQ).
These levels often act as **natural support or resistance zones**, where price tends to react, consolidate, or reverse.
Version 2 introduces the concept of **gravitational zones**, which define a price range surrounding each round level — visualizing how price “gravitates” around these equilibrium areas.
---
### 🧩 **Main Features**
* 🔹 **Dynamic round levels:** plotted automatically based on user-defined *step size* (in points or pips).
* 🔹 **Custom step mode:** switch between “Points” (for indices, commodities, crypto) and “Pips” (for Forex pairs).
* 🔹 **Configurable appearance:** color, width, and line style (solid, dashed, dotted).
* 🔹 **Gravitation zones:** optional secondary lines plotted above and below each round level.
* Distance adjustable as a **percentage of the step size** (default = 25%).
* Help visualize “magnet areas” where price tends to slow down or oscillate before crossing a level.
* 🔹 **Optional fill:** softly shaded area between the upper and lower gravitation lines for clearer visualization of each zone.
* You can enable or disable this with the *“Show gravitation fill”* toggle.
* Fill color and transparency fully customizable.
---
### 📈 **Use Cases**
* Identify **psychological support/resistance** levels on any instrument or timeframe.
* Observe **market equilibrium zones** where price tends to cluster or hesitate before continuing.
* Combine with oscillators or volume indicators to confirm reaction strength near round numbers.
* Use the **gravitational zones** to refine stop-loss or take-profit placement near high-impact levels.
---
### 💡 **Notes**
* The indicator does **not repaint** and updates levels dynamically based on the latest price.
* Works on all asset classes: **Forex, Indices, Crypto, Commodities, Stocks.**
* Designed to be **lightweight** — no accumulation of historical objects.
* Combine this with *Round Number Analyzer* for complete analysis of round numbers level
Session Gap Fill [LuxAlgo]The Session Gap Fill tool detects and highlights filled and unfilled price gaps between regular sessions. It features a dashboard with key statistics about the detected gaps.
The tool is highly customizable, allowing users to filter by different types of gaps and customize how they are displayed on the chart.
🔶 USAGE
By default, the tool detects all price gaps between sessions. A price gap is defined as a difference between the opening price of one session and the closing price of the previous session. In this case, the tool uses the opening price of the first bar of the session against the closing price of the previous bar.
A bullish gap is detected when the session open price is higher than the last close, and a bearish gap is detected when the session open price is lower than the last close.
Gaps represent a change in market sentiment, a difference in what market participants think between the close of one trading session and the open of the next.
What is useful to traders is not the gap itself, but how the market reacts to it.
Unfilled gaps occur when prices do not return to the previous session's closing price.
Filled gaps occur when prices come back to the previous session's close price.
By analyzing how markets react to gaps, traders can understand market sentiment, whether different prices are accepted or rejected, and take advantage of this information to position themselves in favor of bullish or bearish market sentiment.
Next, we will cover the Gap Type Filter and Statistics Dashboard.
🔹 Gap Type Filter
Traders can choose from three options: display all gaps, display only overlapping gaps, or display only non-overlapping gaps. All gaps are displayed by default.
An overlapping gap is defined when the first bar of the session has any price in common with the previous bar. No overlapping gap is defined when the two bars do not share any price levels.
As we will see in the next section, there are clear differences in market behavior around these types of gaps.
🔹 Statistics Dashboard
The Statistics Dashboard displays key metrics that help traders understand market behavior around each type of gap.
Gaps: The percentage of bullish and bearish gaps.
Filled: The percentage of filled bullish and bearish gaps.
Reversed: The percentage of filled gaps that move in favor of the gap
Bars Avg.: The average number of bars for a gap to be filled.
Now, let's analyze the chart on the left of the image to understand those stats. These are the stats for all gaps, both overlapping and non-overlapping.
Of the total, bullish gaps represent 55%, and bearish ones represent 44%. The gap bias is pretty balanced in this market.
The second statistic, Filled, shows that 63% of gaps are filled, both bullish and bearish. Therefore, there is a higher probability that a gap will be filled than not.
The third statistic is reversed. This is the percentage of filled gaps where prices move in favor of the gap. This applies to filled bullish gaps when the close of the session is above the open, and to filled bearish gaps when the close of the session is below the open. In other words, first there is a gap, then it fills, and finally it reverses. As we can see in the chart, this only happens 35% of the time for bullish gaps and 29% of the time for bearish gaps.
The last statistic is Bars Avg., which is the average number of bars for a gap to be filled. On average, it takes between one and two bars for both bullish and bearish gaps. On average, gaps fill quickly.
As we can see on the chart, selecting different types of gaps yields different statistics and market behavior. For example, overlapping gaps have a greater than 90% chance of being filled, whereas non-overlapping gaps have a less than 40% chance.

ADX - Globx Options & Futures 2.0The ADX Globx Options & Futures is a custom-built trend strength indicator designed to replicate and enhance the classic Average Directional Index (ADX) model, commonly used in professional trading platforms such as IQ Option.
This version is optimized for options and futures trading, providing precise directional strength readings through adaptive smoothing and configurable parameters.
Concept and Logic
This indicator measures the strength of the current trend, regardless of its direction (bullish or bearish), by comparing directional movement between price highs and lows over a defined period.
It uses three main components:
+DI (Positive Directional Indicator): represents bullish strength.
–DI (Negative Directional Indicator): represents bearish strength.
ADX (Average Directional Index): measures the intensity of the prevailing trend, independent of direction.
The script follows the original logic proposed by J. Welles Wilder Jr., but introduces enhanced smoothing flexibility.
Users can choose between EMA (Exponential Moving Average) and Wilder’s RMA (Running Moving Average) for both DI and ADX calculations, allowing closer alignment with various platform implementations (IQ Option, MetaTrader, etc.).
How It Works
Directional Movement Calculation
The script computes upward and downward movements (+DM and –DM) by comparing the differences in highs and lows between consecutive candles.
Only positive directional changes that exceed the opposite side are considered.
This ensures each bar contributes only one valid directional movement.
True Range and Smoothing
The True Range (TR) is calculated using ta.tr(true) to include price gaps—replicating how professional derivatives platforms account for volatility jumps.
Both TR and DM values are smoothed using the selected averaging method (EMA or Wilder).
Directional Index and ADX
The smoothed +DI and –DI values are normalized over the True Range to form the Directional Index (DX), which measures the percentage difference between the two.
The ADX is then derived by smoothing the DX values, providing a stable reading of overall market strength.
Visual Representation
The ADX (white line) indicates the overall trend strength.
The +DI (dark blue) and –DI (dark red) lines show which side (bullish or bearish) is currently dominant.
Reference levels at 20 and 25 serve as strength thresholds:
Below 20 → Weak or sideways market.
Above 25 → Strong and directional trend.
Usage and Interpretation
When ADX rises above 25, the market shows a strong trend — use +DI > –DI for bullish confirmation, or the opposite for bearish momentum.
A falling ADX suggests decreasing trend strength and potential consolidation.
The default parameters (ADX Length = 34, DI Length = 34, both smoothed by EMA) match IQ Option’s internal ADX configuration, ensuring consistency between platforms.
Works on any timeframe or asset class, but is especially tuned for futures and options volatility dynamics.
Originality and Improvements
Unlike many open-source ADX indicators, this version:
Recreates IQ Option’s 34-length EMA-based ADX calculation with exact parameter alignment.
Provides selectable smoothing algorithms (EMA or Wilder) to switch between modern and classic formulations.
Uses dark-theme-optimized visuals with fine line weight and subtle contrast for clean visibility.
Maintains constant guide levels (20/25) rendered globally for precision and style compliance in Pine Script v6.
Is fully rewritten for Pine Script v6, ensuring compatibility and optimized execution.
Recommended Use
Combine with trend-following systems or breakout strategies.
Ideal for identifying market strength before engaging in options directionals or futures entries.
Use the ADX to confirm breakout momentum or filter sideways markets.
Disclaimer
This script is for educational and analytical purposes. It does not constitute financial advice or a trading signal. Users are encouraged to validate the indicator within their own trading strategies and risk frameworks.
Magic Volume - Projected [MW]Magic Volume – Projected
This lower-pane volume tool estimates the full-bar volume before the bar closes by measuring the current bar’s elapsed time and the rate of incoming volume. It then contrasts that “expected volume” against typical activity and recent momentum to spotlight potential burst conditions (breakout/acceleration), color-codes the live volume stream, and annotates when the projected surge is likely bullish or bearish based on bar structure and recent highs/lows.
Settings
Projected / Expected Volume
Moving Average: EMA length used for volume baseline comparisons. (Default: 14)
Minimum Volume: Hard floor the bar’s raw volume must exceed to qualify as notable. (Default: 10,000)
Consecutive Volume Above 14 EMA: Count required for “sustained” high-volume context. (Default: 3)
Stochastic Volume Burst
Stochastic Length: Window for the Stochastic calculation on volume. (Default: 8)
Smoothing: Smoothing applied to Stochastic volume and its signal. (Default: 3)
Stochastic Volume Breakout Threshold: Level above which Stochastic volume is considered a breakout. (Default: 20)
Volume Bar Increase Amount: Multiplier the current bar’s volume must exceed vs. prior bar to be considered a “burst.” (Default: 1.618)
Plotted Items
Expected Volume (columns): Magenta columns projecting the full-bar volume from intrabar rate. Turns lime when a high expected-volume condition aligns with bullish bar structure; turns red under analogous bearish conditions.
Actual Volume (columns): Live volume columns, color-coded by state:
• Blue = baseline;
• Orange = “burst” (volume rising fast above prior × factor and above baseline);
• Yellow = “burst at breakout” (burst + Stochastic volume breakout);
• Light Blue = Stochastic breakout only.
Volume EMA (line): Yellow EMA for baseline comparison (default 14).
Calculations
Compute elapsed time in the current bar (ms → seconds) and convert the current bar’s accumulated volume into a rate (volume per second).
Project full-bar Expected Volume = (volume so far / seconds elapsed) × bar-seconds.
Compute Volume EMA (default 14) for baseline; derive Stochastic(volume, length) and smoothed signal for momentum.
Define “Burst” conditions:
• Volume > prior volume × Volume Bar Increase Amount;
• Volume > Minimum Volume;
• Volume > Volume EMA;
• Stochastic(volume) rising and/or above threshold.
Classify “Burst at Breakout” when Burst aligns with Stochastic crossover above the Breakout Threshold.
Classify Bullish/Bearish Expected Volume: if Expected Volume is ≥ 1.618 × prior bar volume and prior volume > Volume EMA, then:
• Bullish if bar is green with a rising low;
• Bearish if bar is red with a falling high.
Color-map actual volume columns by state; overlay Expected Volume columns (magenta) and paint conditional overlays (lime/red) when directional context is detected.
How to Use
Spot the Surge Early
When Expected Volume spikes well above typical (and especially above ~1.618× the prior bar) before the bar closes, it often precedes a volatile move. Use this to prepare entries with tight, structure-based risk (e.g., just beyond the current bar’s wick) and asymmetric targets.
Confirm with Momentum
Yellow/orange volume columns indicate burst/breakout behavior in the live tape. When this aligns with a lime (bullish) or red (bearish) Expected Volume column, the probability of follow-through improves—particularly if aligned with prevailing trend or key levels.
Context Matters
Combine with your preferred S/R or structure tools (e.g., order blocks, channels, VWAP) to avoid chasing into obvious supply/demand. The projected surge can mark both continuations and sharp reversals depending on location and broader context.
Alerts
High Expected Volume – Bullish: When projected volume surges and the price action meets bullish conditions (green body with rising low).
High Expected Volume – Bearish: When projected volume surges and the price action meets bearish conditions (red body with falling high).
Other Usage Notes and Limitations
Projected volume depends on intrabar pace; abrupt pauses/flushes can change the projection quickly, especially on very small timeframes.
Minimum Volume and EMA baselines help filter thin markets; adjust upward on illiquid symbols to reduce noise.
A rising projection does not pick direction on its own—directional coloring (lime/red) requires price-action confirmation; otherwise treat magenta projections as “heads-up” only.
As with any single indicator, use within a broader plan (risk management, structure, confluence) to mitigate false positives and improve selectivity.

Market Structure ICT Screener [TradingFinder] BoS ChoCh🔵 Introduction
Market Structure is the foundation of every Smart Money and ICT based trading model. It describes how price moves through a sequence of highs and lows, forming clear phases of expansion, retracement and reversal. Understanding this structure allows traders to read institutional order flow and align their positions with the true direction of liquidity.
Two of the most critical components in Market Structure are the Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHOCH). A BOS represents trend continuation, confirming strength within the current direction. In contrast, CHOCH also known as a Market Structure Shift (MSS) signals the first sign of a trend reversal or liquidity shift where order flow begins to change from bullish to bearish or vice versa.
Because the market is fractal, structure can exist at multiple levels known as Major (External) and Minor (Internal). Major structure defines the overall trend on higher timeframes while minor or internal structure reveals short term swings and early reversals within that larger move.
🔵 How to Use
Understanding Market Structure starts with identifying how price interacts with previous swing highs and swing lows. Every trend in the market, whether bullish or bearish, is built from a sequence of impulsive and corrective moves. Impulsive legs show strong displacement in the direction of liquidity flow, while corrective legs represent temporary pullbacks as the market rebalances before the next expansion. Recognizing these sequences is essential for reading the story of price and anticipating what may happen next.
A Break of Structure (BOS) occurs when price decisively moves beyond a previous structural point by breaking above the last high in an uptrend or falling below the last low in a downtrend. This event confirms that the current trend remains intact and that liquidity has been successfully taken from one side of the market. A BOS acts as confirmation of continuation and reflects strength within the existing directional bias.
A Change of Character (CHOCH) appears when price violates structure in the opposite direction of the prevailing trend. This is the first signal that market sentiment and order flow may be shifting. For example, during a downtrend if price breaks above a previous high, it indicates that sellers are losing control and a potential bullish reversal may be developing. In an uptrend, when price drops below a recent low, it suggests a possible bearish transition.
Because the market is fractal, structure exists across multiple layers. Major structure reflects the dominant movement visible on higher timeframes and defines the broader directional bias. Minor or internal structure represents smaller swings within that move and helps identify early transitions before they appear on the higher timeframe. When internal and external structures align, they offer a high probability signal for trend continuation or reversal.
By observing BOS and CHOCH across both internal and external structures, traders can clearly visualize when the market is expanding, contracting or preparing to shift direction. This structured understanding of price movement forms the foundation for precise trend analysis and high quality decision making in any Smart Money or ICT based trading approach.

🔵 Conclusion
Mastering Market Structure and understanding the relationship between BOS and CHOCH allows traders to see the market with greater clarity and confidence. These two elements reveal how liquidity moves through different phases of expansion and retracement and how institutional order flow shifts between accumulation and distribution.
By analyzing both internal and external structures, traders can align short term and long term perspectives and anticipate where price is most likely to react. The ability to read these structural shifts helps identify continuation points, reversals and areas where liquidity is engineered or collected.
Incorporating Market Structure into a consistent trading process transforms the way a trader views the chart. Instead of reacting to random movements, each swing, break and shift becomes part of a logical framework that reflects the true behavior of the market. Understanding BOS and CHOCH is not just a concept but a complete language of price that guides every professional decision in Smart Money and ICT based trading.
Global Risk Terminal – Multi-Asset Macro Sentiment IndicatorDescription:
The Global Risk Terminal is a sophisticated macro sentiment indicator that synthesizes signals from three key cross-asset relationships to produce a single, actionable risk appetite score. It is designed to help traders and investors identify whether global markets are in a risk-on (growth-seeking) or risk-off (defensive) regime. The indicator analyzes the behavior of commodities, equities, bonds, and currencies to generate a comprehensive view of market conditions.
Indicator Output:
The Global Risk Terminal produces a normalized risk score ranging from -1 to +1:
Positive values indicate risk-on conditions (growth assets favored)
Negative values indicate risk-off conditions (safe-haven assets favored)
Core Components:
Growth Pulse (Copper to Gold Ratio, HG/GC)
Purpose: Measures investor preference for industrial growth versus safe-haven assets.
Interpretation:
Rising ratio → Copper outperforming gold → Risk-on environment
Falling ratio → Gold outperforming copper → Risk-off environment
Flat ratio → Transitional market phase
Technical Implementation: Dual moving average slope method (fast MA default 20, slow MA default 40). Positive slope = +1, negative slope = -1, flat slope = 0
Equity Rotation (Russell 2000 to S&P 500 Ratio, RTY/ES)
Purpose: Tracks rotation between small-cap and large-cap equities, revealing market risk appetite.
Interpretation:
Rising ratio → Small-caps outperforming → Strong risk-on
Falling ratio → Large-caps outperforming → Defensive positioning
Technical Implementation: Dual moving average slope method (same as Growth Pulse)
Flow Gauge (10-Year Treasury to US Dollar Index, ZN/DXY)
Purpose: Captures liquidity conditions and cross-asset capital flows.
Interpretation:
Rising ratio → Treasury prices rising or USD weakening → Liquidity expansion, risk-on environment
Falling ratio → Treasury prices falling or USD strengthening → Liquidity contraction, risk-off environment
Technical Implementation: Dual moving average slope method
Composite Risk Score Calculation:
Analyze each component for trend using dual moving averages
Assign signal values: +1 (risk-on), -1 (risk-off), 0 (neutral)
Average the three signals:
Risk Score = (Growth Pulse + Equity Rotation + Flow Gauge) / 3
Optional smoothing with exponential moving average (default 3 periods) to reduce noise
Interpreting the Risk Score:
+0.66 to +1.0: Full risk-on – favor cyclical sectors, small-caps, growth strategies
+0.33 to +0.66: Moderate risk-on – mostly bullish environment, watch for fading momentum
-0.33 to +0.33: Neutral/transition – markets in flux, signals mixed, exercise caution
-0.66 to -0.33: Cautious risk-off – favor defensive sectors, reduce high-beta exposure
-1.0 to -0.66: Full risk-off – strong defensive positioning, prioritize safe-haven assets
How to Use the Global Risk Terminal to Frame Trades:
Aligning Trades with Market Regime
Risk-On (+0.33 and above): Look for buying opportunities in cyclical stocks, high-beta equities, commodities, and emerging markets. Use long entries for swing trades or intraday positions, following confirmed price action.
Risk-Off (-0.33 and below): Shift focus to defensive sectors, large-cap quality stocks, U.S. Treasuries, and safe-haven currencies. Prefer short entries or reduced exposure in risky assets.
Entry and Exit Framing
Use the risk score as a macro filter before executing trades:
Example: The risk score is +0.7 (strong risk-on). Prefer long positions in equities or commodities that are showing bullish confirmation on your regular chart.
Conversely, if the risk score is -0.7 (strong risk-off), avoid aggressive longs and consider short or defensive trades.
Watch for threshold crossings (+/-0.33, +/-0.66) as potential inflection points for adjusting position size, stop-loss levels, or sector rotation.
Confirming Trade Decisions
Combine the Global Risk Terminal with price action, volume, and trend indicators:
If equities rally but the risk score is declining, this may indicate a fragile rally driven by few leaders—trade cautiously.
If equities fall but the risk score is rising, consider counter-trend entries or buying dips.
Risk Management and Position Sizing
Strong alignment across components → increase position size and hold with wider stops
Mixed or neutral signals → reduce exposure, tighten stops, or avoid new trades
Defensive regimes → rotate into stable, low-volatility assets and increase cash buffer
Framing Trades Across Timeframes
Use the indicator as a strategic guide rather than a precise timing tool. Even without the MTF table:
Daily trend alignment → Guide swing trade bias
Shorter timeframe price action → Refine entry points and stop placement
Example: Daily chart shows +0.6 risk score → identify high-probability long setups using intraday technical patterns (breakouts, trend continuation).
Sector and Asset Rotation
Risk-On: Focus on cyclical sectors (financials, industrials, materials, energy), small-caps, high-beta instruments
Risk-Off: Focus on defensive sectors (utilities, consumer staples, healthcare), large-caps, safe-haven instruments
Alert Integration
Set alerts on the risk score to notify you when markets move from neutral to risk-on or risk-off regimes. Use these alerts to plan entries, exits, or portfolio adjustments in advance.
Customization Options:
Moving Average Length (5–100): Adjust sensitivity of trend detection
Score Smoothing (1–10): Reduce noise or see raw risk score
Visual Themes: Six preset themes (Cyber, Ocean, Sunset, Monochrome, Matrix, Custom)
Display Options: Show or hide component dashboards, main header, risk level lines, gradient fill, and component signals
Label Size: Tiny, Small, Normal, Large
Alert Conditions:
Risk score crosses above +0.66 → Strong risk-on
Risk score crosses below -0.66 → Strong risk-off
Risk score crosses zero → Neutral line
Risk score crosses above +0.33 → Moderate risk-on
Risk score crosses below -0.33 → Moderate risk-off

Conclusion:
The Global Risk Terminal consolidates complex cross-asset signals into a simple, actionable score that informs market regime, portfolio positioning, sector rotation, and trading decisions. Its user-friendly layout and extensive customization options make it suitable for traders of all experience levels seeking macro-driven insights. By framing trades around risk score thresholds and combining macro context with tactical execution, traders can identify higher-probability opportunities and optimize position sizing, entries, and exits across a wide range of market conditions.
Advanced HMM - 3 States CompleteHidden Markov Model
Aconsistent challenge for quantitative traders is the frequent behaviour modification of financial
markets, often abruptly, due to changing periods of government policy, regulatory environment
and other macroeconomic effects. Such periods are known as market regimes. Detecting such
changes is a common, albeit difficult, process undertaken by quantitative market participants.
These various regimes lead to adjustments of asset returns via shifts in their means, variances,
autocorrelation and covariances. This impacts the effectiveness of time series methods that rely
on stationarity. In particular it can lead to dynamically-varying correlation, excess kurtosis ("fat
tails"), heteroskedasticity (volatility clustering) and skewed returns.
There is a clear need to effectively detect these regimes. This aids optimal deployment of
quantitative trading strategies and tuning the parameters within them. The modeling task then
becomes an attempt to identify when a new regime has occurred adjusting strategy deployment,
risk management and position sizing criteria accordingly.
A principal method for carrying out regime detection is to use a statistical time series tech
nique known as a Hidden Markov Model . These models are well-suited to the task since they
involve inference on "hidden" generative processes via "noisy" indirect observations correlated
to these processes. In this instance the hidden, or latent, process is the underlying regime state,
while the asset returns are the indirect noisy observations that are influenced by these states.
NSF/NBF Boxes📘 NSF / NBF Extended Boxes (Wyckoff–VSA Smart Zones)
This indicator automatically detects No Supply (NSF) and No Buying / No Demand (NBF) bars using Wyckoff–VSA principles and marks them with extended boxes and a dashed 50% midline.
🟢 NSF (No Supply) — Bullish accumulation signal
🔴 NBF (No Demand) — Bearish distribution signal
Each box extends forward in time to highlight key supply/demand zones, while the dashed midline represents the equilibrium level within that bar.
When price later retests this 50% level, the script triggers a visual marker and an alert condition, helping you spot potential reversals or continuation confirmations.
🧠 Core Features
Automatic detection of No Supply / No Demand bars
Extended boxes with adjustable length and auto-extension
Midline (50%) retest alerts for precise trade timing
Optional EMA trend filter, volume check, and close bias
Works even on symbols without volume data (crypto, indices, FX)
“Test Mode” included for easy visualization and debugging
⚙️ Usage Tips
Use on 5m–4h charts for crypto or stocks to spot professional activity.
Combine with Wyckoff, VSA, or Smart Money Concepts to confirm accumulation/distribution phases.
Look for NSF retests near support in a downtrend → possible long entry.
Look for NBF retests near resistance in an uptrend → possible short entry.
🧩 Parameters
Ignore Volume: disables volume filters for markets with missing data
Use EMA Trend Filter: only confirm signals in direction of trend
Auto-extend Boxes: keeps zones projecting into future bars
Retest Alerts: triggers when price touches midline after formation
💡 Author’s Note
This tool visualizes the often-hidden behavior of smart money absorption and weak demand exhaustion.
Use it as part of a complete trading plan — not as a standalone buy/sell signal
Yon Hybrid Momentum + Breakout Scanner with BB SqueezeThis Pine Script indicator is a comprehensive momentum and breakout scanner that combines multiple technical analysis tools to identify high-probability trading setups. Here's what it does:
Core Features:
1. Trend Identification (EMA System)
Uses two EMAs (9-period fast, 20-period slow) to determine trend direction
Colors the chart background: teal = uptrend, red = downtrend
An uptrend is confirmed when the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA
2. Volume Analysis
Monitors volume spikes (when current volume exceeds 2x the 20-period average)
Volume spikes often indicate strong institutional interest or breakout momentum
Critical for confirming the validity of price movements
3. Momentum Indicators
MACD (12, 26, 9): Shows bullish/bearish crossovers with triangle markers
RSI (7-period): Identifies overbought (>70) and oversold (<30) conditions
VWAP: Shows the volume-weighted average price (purple line) - helps identify whether price is trading at fair value
4. Bollinger Bands & Squeeze Detection
Displays Bollinger Bands (20-period, 2 standard deviations)
BB Squeeze: Detects when volatility contracts to its lowest level in 20 bars
Squeezes often precede explosive breakout moves (like a coiled spring)
Orange squares appear at the bottom when a squeeze is detected
5. Breakout Detection
The script identifies breakouts using TWO methods:
Price breakout: Close above the recent 20-bar high
BB breakout: Close above the upper Bollinger Band
Confirmed breakout: Must have uptrend + volume spike + one of the above conditions
Shows a green "BREAKOUT" label when all conditions align
6. Live Status Label
A label in the top-right displays real-time market conditions:
Current trend (UPTREND/DOWNTREND)
Volume status (VOL SPIKE/Normal Vol)
RSI condition (HOT/COOL/Neutral)
Squeeze status (if active)
7. Alerts
Two automated alerts:
Breakout Alert: Triggers when a confirmed breakout occurs
Squeeze Alert: Triggers when Bollinger Bands enter a squeeze
Trading Use Cases:
This indicator is ideal for:
Swing traders looking for momentum setups with strong volume confirmation
Breakout traders who want to catch explosive moves after consolidation
Day traders monitoring multiple timeframes for high-probability entries
Watchlist scanning to quickly identify which stocks/cryptos are showing momentum
How to Use It:
Setup Phase: Look for BB squeeze markers (orange squares) - these signal compression
Confirmation: Wait for volume spike + uptrend + MACD bullish crossover
Entry: When "BREAKOUT" label appears with all confirmations
Validation: Price should be above VWAP and RSI not extremely overbought
The script essentially automates the process of finding stocks that are "coiling up" and ready to make a big move, then confirms when that move actually happens with volume.

Daily/Weekly EMAs on Lower TimeframesThis indicator allows traders to view Daily and Weekly EMAs (Exponential Moving Averages) directly on lower timeframes such as 1m, 5m, 15m, or 1h charts — providing a higher timeframe perspective without switching charts.
The script includes individual checkboxes for each EMA length — 5, 8, 9, 21, 50, and 200 — organized into two clear sections:
🟢 Daily EMAs
🔵 Weekly EMAs
You can selectively enable or disable any EMA to match your trading style and reduce chart clutter.
Each EMA is color-coded for clarity and consistency:
5 EMA: Green
8 EMA: Blue
9 EMA: Blue
21 EMA: Orange
50 EMA: Purple
200 EMA: Red
Weekly EMAs appear slightly transparent to distinguish them from daily ones.
This makes it easy to visualize higher timeframe trend direction, confluence zones, and dynamic support/resistance levels while trading intraday.
💡 Key Features
View Daily and Weekly EMAs on smaller timeframes.
Individual checkbox toggles for all 6 EMA lengths.

Exciting Candles by BitcoinBailyExciting Candles by BitcoinBaily — is a custom indicator that visually highlights "momentum" or "exciting" candlesticks on the chart.
It helps traders quickly identify candles with strong body-to-range ratios, i.e., candles showing strong price momentum (big move between open and close relative to the high-low range).
If the candle’s body is greater than or equal to the threshold percentage (say 85%), the bar is colored yellow. Otherwise, no color is applied.
Yellow Candle = Exciting Candle
The candle’s body occupies ≥ the set % (e.g., 85%) of the total high-low range.
Indicates strong momentum (buyers or sellers dominated most of that period).
No Color = Neutral / Normal Candle
Price moved both ways (upper & lower wicks), but neither buyers nor sellers fully dominated.
1. Range Breakout: When price breaks a sideways range and a yellow (exciting) candle appears,
it confirms that real momentum has entered — a good time to catch the move early.
2. Trend Pullback: If price dips to a moving average (like 20 or 50 SMA) and then forms a yellow
candle, it signals that buyers are regaining control — often a high-probability trend
continuation entry.
3. Exhaustion Top: A yellow bearish candle near a resistance area shows strong selling pressure
— a warning that the uptrend may be ending.
4. Sideways Market: When no yellow candles appear, the market lacks momentum — best to
stay out and avoid choppy trades.

Volume Analysis
Detects unusual volume spikes that indicate large players entering
Compares current volume to 20-period average
Institutional trades create volume 2-5x normal levels
Order Flow
Delta: Difference between buying and selling volume
Positive delta = More buying pressure
Negative delta = More selling pressure
Institutions leave "footprints" in order flow
Price Action Patterns
Bullish Rejection Wicks:
| <- Small upper wick
|
███ <- Small body
███
|
|
| <- Large lower wick (rejection)
Indicates institutions bought aggressively at lower prices
Bearish Rejection Wicks:
|
|
| <- Large upper wick (rejection)
|
███ <- Small body
███
| <- Small lower wick
Indicates institutions sold aggressively at higher prices
Liquidity Grabs
Institutions often:
Push price above resistance or below support
Trigger stop losses (grab liquidity)
Reverse direction and trade the other way
Dark Pool Activity
Large block trades executed off-exchange:
High volume with minimal price movement
Indicates institutional accumulation/distribution without moving price
3. Signal Interpretation {#signals}
Signal Types:
🟢 INSTITUTIONAL BUY Signal
Appears as green triangle below candle with strength number (2-5)
What it means:
Institutions are actively accumulating (buying)
Higher strength = More confirmation factors
Strength Levels:
2-3: Moderate confidence - Wait for confirmation
4: High confidence - Strong institutional interest
5: Maximum confidence - Multiple factors aligned
🔴 INSTITUTIONAL SELL Signal
Appears as red triangle above candle with strength number (2-5)
What it means:
Institutions are actively distributing (selling)
Higher strength = More confirmation factors
🟠 Dark Pool (DP) Marker
Small orange diamond
What it means:
Large block trade executed
Accumulation/distribution happening quietly
Often precedes significant moves
Liquidity Zones
Red boxes above price = Resistance/sell liquidity
Green boxes below price = Support/buy liquidity

6. Best Practices {#best-practices}
✅ DO's:
1. Use Multiple Timeframes
Check higher timeframe for trend direction
Trade signals that align with higher timeframe
Example: 15m signals in direction of 1H trend
2. Combine with Key Levels
Support/resistance
Supply/demand zones
Previous day high/low
Round numbers (psychological levels)
3. Wait for Confirmation
Don't rush into trades
Let the signal candle close
Watch next candle for follow-through
4. Check the Metrics Table
Look at Relative Volume (should be >2.0)
Check Delta % (should be strong positive/negative)
Verify Order Flow aligns with signal
5. Consider Market Context
News events can override signals
Low liquidity times (lunch, overnight) less reliable
Major economic releases need caution
6. Paper Trade First
Test the indicator for 2-4 weeks
Learn how it behaves on your chosen assets
Develop confidence before using real money
Best Times to Trade:
Stock Market Hours:
9:30-11:30 AM EST (high volume, strong moves)
2:00-4:00 PM EST (institutional positioning)
Avoid: 11:30 AM-2:00 PM (lunch, low volume)
Forex:
London Open: 3:00-6:00 AM EST
New York Open: 8:00-11:00 AM EST
London/NY Overlap: 8:00 AM-12:00 PM EST
Crypto:
24/7 market, but highest volume during US/European hours
Watch for weekend low liquidity
7. Common Mistakes to Avoid {#mistakes}
❌ DON'T:
1. Trade Every Signal
Not all signals are equal
Focus on strength 4-5 signals
Wait for optimal setups
2. Ignore Market Structure
Don't buy into strong downtrends (catch falling knife)
Don't sell into strong uptrends (fight the tape)
Respect major support/resistance
3. Use Too Small Timeframes
1m and 2m charts are too noisy
Minimum recommended: 5m for scalping
Better: 15m, 30m, 1H for reliability
4. Overtrade
Quality over quantity
2-5 good trades per day is excellent
Forcing trades leads to losses
5. Ignore Risk Management
Always use stop losses
Risk only 1-2% per trade
Don't revenge trade after losses
6. Trade During Low Volume
Signals less reliable with low volume
Check Relative Volume metric (should be >1.5)
Avoid pre-market/after-hours for stocks
7. Misread Liquidity Grabs
Not every wick is a liquidity grab
Need volume confirmation
Must have institutional signal
Advanced Tips:
Filtering False Signals:
Use Signal Strength Filter:
Minimum strength 3 = Balanced
Minimum strength 4 = Conservative (recommended)
Minimum strength 5 = Ultra conservative
Confluence Checklist:
Signal strength ≥ 4
Relative volume > 2.0
At key support/resistance
Aligns with higher timeframe trend
Delta % strongly positive/negative
Clean price action setup
If 4+ boxes checked = High probability trade

Smart Money Volume Activity [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This tool visualizes how Smart Money and Retail participants behave through lower-timeframe volume analysis. It detects volume spikes far beyond normal activity, classifies them as institutional or retail, and projects those zones as reactive levels. The script updates dynamically with each bar, showing when large players enter while tracking whether those events remain profitable. Each event is drawn as a horizontal line with bubble markers and summarized in a live P/L table comparing Smart Money versus Retail.
🟠 CONCEPTS
The core logic uses Z-score normalization on lower-timeframe volumes (like 5m inside a 1h chart). This lets the script detect statistically extreme bursts of buying or selling activity. It classifies each detected event as:
Smart Money — volume inside the candle body (suggesting hidden accumulation or distribution)
Retail — volume closing at bar extremes (suggesting chase entries or panic exits)
When new events appear, the script plots them as horizontal levels that persist until price interacts again. Each level acts as a potential reaction zone or liquidity footprint. The integrated P/L table then measures which class (Retail or Smart Money) is currently “winning” — comparing cumulative profitable versus losing volume.
🟠 FEATURES
Classifies flows into Smart Money or Retail based on candle-body context.
Displays live P/L comparison table for Smart vs Retail performance.
Alerts for each detected Smart or Retail buy/sell event.
🟠 USAGE
Setup : Add the script to any chart. Set Lower Timeframe Value (e.g., “5” for 5m) smaller than your main chart timeframe. The Period input controls how many bars are analyzed for the Z-score baseline. The Threshold (|Z|) decides how extreme a volume must be to plot a level.
Read the chart : Horizontal lines mark where heavy Smart or Retail volume occurred. Bright bubbles show the strongest events — their size reflects Z-score intensity. The on-chart table updates live: green cells show profitable flows, red cells show losing flows. A dominant green Smart Money row suggests institutions are currently controlling price.
See what others are doing :
Settings that matter : Raising Threshold (|Z|) filters noise, showing only large players. Increasing Period smooths results but reacts slower to new bursts. Use Show = “Both” for full comparison or isolate “Smart Money” / “Retail” to focus on one class.
50% Fib Trend Cloud + ATR BandsThis indicator plots two structural 50% fibonacci midpoints from recent confirmed 'left/right' swings that form a *cloud* of equilibrium, then adds a rolling 50% fibonacci range midpoint based on a lookback window that's wrapped in ATR bands. Importantly, it solves a specific trading problem:
Structural midpoints (macro context) are powerful but can lag when price escapes prior ranges. Enter rolling 50% fib + ATR ➡️ which restores real-time balance & tolerance (micro context). Together they show where price is balanced structurally, where it’s balanced right now, and how much volatility to tolerate before acting.
➖➖➖
🔑 Why this is different
Most tools either draw a single midpoint (ex., daily 50%) or ATR bands around a moving average. This script fuses dual swing-based 50% midpoints (structure) + a rolling 50% with ATR (flow), so you don’t lose context when price escapes prior ranges. The cloud tells you who’s in control (fast vs. slow structure). The rolling 50% + ATR tells you how far is “too far” now.
➖➖➖
🧠 What it does (at a glance)
🔸Structural Equilibrium × 2 (Fib1/Fib2)
Two independent 50% midpoints formed from swing pivots (configurable Left/Right bars + optional smoothing). Their gap is the Midpoint Cloud = structural “fair value” zone.
🔸Rolling 50% + ATR Bands
A rolling highest/lowest window computes an always-current 50% rolling midpoint plot; ±ATR × length envelopes define a soft value area and over-stretch boundaries.
🔸Actionable Visuals
Optional fill between Fib1/Fib2, labels, and candle-overlay modes to instantly read regime (above both / below both / between).
🔸Smart Defaults
Timeframe-aware presets for L/R pivots & smoothing; full manual overrides available.
➖➖➖
⚙️ Calculations (plain-English)
🔸Pivot midpoints (Fib1 & Fib2):
1) Detect a swing using `Left/Right` bars
2) Take the swing’s high/low → compute 50%
3) (Optional) Smooth the line (SMA) to stabilize on noisy TFs
4) Repeat with a different sensitivity to get two distinct midpoints
🔸Rolling midpoint:
Highest High / Lowest Low over the last *N* bars → (HH + LL) / 2
🔸ATR levels:
`Upper = Rolling50 + ATR × Mult`, `Lower = Rolling50 − ATR × Mult`
(Typical: ATR length 14–21; Multipliers 2.236 for L1, 5.382 for L2)
➖➖➖
🤖 Auto-Configured Presets (with Manual Override)
💡Goal: make the midpoints “just work” on common timeframes while still letting you dial them in.
💡How Auto Presets work
When Auto Presets = ON, the script picks sensible L/R/S (Left bars / Right bars / Smoothing) for Fib Trend 1 and Fib Trend 2 based on chart timeframe.
🔸Fib 1 (fast) emphasizes *micro-structure* for quicker bias shifts.
🔸Fib 2 (slow) emphasizes *macro-structure* for anchor/bias context.
These defaults keep Fib 1 responsive without jitter and Fib 2 stable without lag.
➡️ Turn Auto Presets = OFF to take full control with the manual inputs described below.
➖➖➖
🛠 Manual Fib Midpoint Settings (when Auto = OFF)
💡Each midpoint uses three knobs:
🔸Pivot Left (L): bars to the left that must be lower/higher to qualify a swing
🔸Pivot Right (R): bars to the right that must be lower/higher to confirm the swing
🔸Smoothing (S): SMA period applied to the raw 50% midpoint (stabilizes noise)
5-Minute optimized defaults
🔸Fib Trend 1: `L21 / R5 / S55` → responsive local structure (entries/exits, re-balancing zones)
🔸Fib Trend 2: `L55 / R13 / S89` → broader structure (trend context, anchors/stops)
Timeframe guidance
🔸1m–3m: may feel a touch laggy → consider ~`L13 / R3 / S34`
🔸15m–1h: defaults remain strong → optionally ~`L34 / R8 / S89`
🔸4h+ : increase span for stability → `L89–144 / R13–21 / S144–233`
➡️ Rule of thumb: shorter L/R = faster detection, longer S = smoother line. Tune until Fib 1 captures the “active swing” and Fib 2 captures the “dominant swing” without whipsaw.
➖➖➖
🎛 Inputs (quick reference)
🔸Fib Trend 1/2: Source (High/Low/Close), Left/Right bars, Smoothing length, Show/Hide, Cloud fill toggle
🔸Rolling 50%: Lookback length, Price basis (Wicks/Close/HLC3/OHLC4), Plot scope (Full / Last N / None)
🔸ATR Bands: ATR length, Multipliers (L1/L2), Plot scope, Line width/colors
🔸Overlay & Labels: Candle overlay mode, Label padding/size, 50% centerline toggle, Plot widths
➖➖➖
🖍️ Candle Coloring & Overlay Modes
💡Purpose: make trend instantly visible on the candles and ATR levels.
1) Color Logic (dropdown)
🔸 Fib Midpoints — Colors by position of price vs. Fib 1 & Fib 2
🔸ATR Zones — Colors by which ATR zone price is in relative to the Rolling 50%
➡️ Price Reference: Choose the input used for the decision (Close, HL2, OHLC3, OHLC4).
➡️Tip: Close is crisp; HL2/OHLC variants are smoother.
2) Overlay Style (dropdown)
🔸 None — No visual change to candles
🔸 Bar Color — Uses `barcolor()` to tint built-in candles (this takes into account your Trading View settings, for instance if you have wicks set to white, they will show up as white with this setting)
🔸 PlotCandles — Draws unified custom candles (body, wick, border) with the same color for maximum clarity
💡Practical use
🔸 Pick Fib Midpoints to read structural bias at a glance (above/below/between the cloud).
🔸 Pick ATR Zones to read value vs. stretch around the Rolling 50% (mean-reversion vs. trend extension).
➖➖➖
📘 How to use
A) Trend confirmation
- Strong bullish bias when price holds above both structural mids; strong bearish when below both.
- Use the Rolling 50% + ATR as a dynamic re-entry zone: pullbacks that respect ATR(L1) often continue the prevailing trend.
B) Transition / mean reversion
- Inside the Cloud (between Fib1 & Fib2) treat behavior as neutralization/re-balancing; range tactics tend to outperform momentum plays.
- In ranges, fades near ±ATR around the rolling 50% can mark short-term edges.
C) Breakout context
- When price leaves the Cloud, the Rolling 50% keeps you anchored so price never feels “floating.” A clean hold outside ATR(L1/L2) suggests regime strength; quick re-entries hint at traps.
➖➖➖
🖼 Chart examples
➡️ Each snapshot shows how the Cloud (structure) and the Rolling 50% + ATR (flow) work together.
1) 1-Minute Downtrend – Cloud as Dynamic Ceiling
- The Cloud slopes down; pullbacks repeatedly fail under the Cloud’s underside.
- Rolling 50% (dashed mid) + ATR(L1) act as a reversion band: rallies stall near upper ATR and rotate lower.
2) 15-Minute Persistent Drift – Structure Guides, Flow Times Entries
- Long drift lower with Cloud overhead.
- Consolidations near the rolling mid resolve in the trend direction; ATR bands frame risk on each attempt.
3) 15-Minute Uptrend (BTC) – From Cloud Escape to Value Stair-Step
- After escaping the prior Cloud, rolling 50% + ATR establish a new higher value area.
- Pullbacks into ATR(L1) produce orderly stair-steps; Cloud remains supportive on deeper dips
4) 5-Minute BTC – Pullback to Value then Rotate
- Strong leg up; retrace tags lower ATR band and rotates back toward the rolling mid.
- Labels (Fib1/Fib2) make the structural context explicit for decision-making.
➖➖➖
🧪 Starter presets
- Intraday (5–15m): Fib1 ~ L21/R5 (smooth 5), Fib2 ~ L55/R13 (smooth 9) • Rolling = 55 • ATR = 14 • L1 = 2.5x, L2 = 5.0x
- Scalping: Shorten lookbacks & smoothing; keep ATR multipliers similar, or tighten L1.
- Swing: Lengthen all lookbacks; consider ATR length 21–28.
➖➖➖
🏁Final Word
This script is not just a visual tool, it’s a complete trend and structure framework. Whether you're looking for clean trend alignment, dynamic support/resistance, or early warning signs of a reversal, this system is tuned to help you react with confidence — not hindsight.
Rembember, no single indicator should be used in isolation. For best results, combine it with price action analysis, higher-timeframe context, and complementary tools like trendlines, moving averages etc Use it as part of a well-rounded trading approach to confirm setups — not to define them alone.
