[CT] Daily & Weekly Percentage Price Oscillator Daily & Weekly Percentage Price Oscillator, or D&W PPO, is a dual-speed momentum oscillator that blends a slower “weekly-style” percentage oscillator with a faster “daily-style” percentage oscillator, then turns the relationship between them into a clean histogram that is easy to trade. The script builds four EMAs from the chart’s close. The first pair, L1 and L2, is used to create the W component, which behaves like a slow, higher-timeframe trend pressure line. W is calculated as the percentage distance between EMA(L1) and EMA(L2), normalized by EMA(L2). When W is rising and positive, it tells you the broader momentum is expanding upward, and when W is falling and negative, the broader momentum is expanding downward. The second pair, L3 and L4, creates the D component, which behaves like a faster, lower-timeframe momentum pulse, also expressed as a percentage but normalized by the same EMA(L2), so both components share a consistent “scale.” The script then combines them into R = W + D, which represents the total blended momentum, where W supplies the slow structure and D supplies the fast impulse.
The indicator is plotted as a histogram using “R − W,” and that choice is intentional. Because R = W + D, the histogram value “R − W” is mathematically identical to D. In other words, the columns you see are the fast momentum component, but anchored to a clear baseline that reflects whether the fast component is adding to, or subtracting from, the slower component’s trend context. The zero line is the equilibrium point where R equals W, meaning the fast component is neutral relative to the slow trend context. When the histogram is above zero, the fast component is contributing positive momentum and the script colors the columns with the Bull color, indicating that R is above W and the short-term push is aligned to the upside. When the histogram is below zero, the fast component is contributing negative momentum and the script colors the columns with the Bear color, indicating that R is below W and the short-term push is aligned to the downside. If you enable “Color price bars,” the chart candles are painted with the same logic so you can visually stay in sync with the fast momentum regime without staring at the panel.
How to trade it comes down to treating the histogram as your actionable trigger layer and using its behavior around the zero line as the decision boundary. A basic long framework is to prioritize long trades when the histogram is above zero and either expanding or printing consecutive positive columns, because that tells you the fast momentum pulse is supportive and not fighting the current regime. The cleanest long entries usually occur when the histogram flips from negative to positive and holds above zero for at least a bar or two, because that transition often marks the shift from pullback pressure into renewed upside impulse. You can add selectivity by watching for a “dip and re-strengthen” pattern above zero: after a positive run, the histogram contracts toward the baseline without breaking materially below it, then turns back up, which often corresponds to a controlled pullback followed by continuation. A basic short framework is the mirror image: prioritize shorts when the histogram is below zero and expanding downward, and treat flips from positive to negative that hold below zero as the higher-quality transition into downside impulse. In both directions, the histogram is especially useful for avoiding trades during momentum dead zones, because when columns chop tightly around the zero line with frequent flips, it is signaling indecision and a lack of clean directional impulse, which is where most “false starts” tend to happen.
Risk management with this tool is straightforward because the oscillator gives you a natural invalidation concept. For long trades, a common invalidation is the histogram losing the zero line and staying negative, since that indicates the fast component has turned from supportive to opposing. For short trades, invalidation is the histogram regaining the zero line and holding positive. Another practical way to manage trades is to use histogram contraction as an early warning that the impulse is weakening. If you are long and positive columns begin to shrink toward zero for several bars, you can tighten risk, take partials, or wait for a fresh expansion before adding. If you are short and negative columns begin to shrink toward zero, the same concept applies. The optional W line can be shown if you want a visual anchor of the slow component; while the histogram is already built to reflect the fast component relative to the slow context, viewing W can help you quickly recognize whether the larger momentum backdrop is generally rising or falling, which can be used as an additional bias filter for trade selection.
In practice, the D&W PPO is best used as a momentum alignment and timing tool: the slow component defines the “weather,” the fast component defines the “wind,” and the histogram tells you whether the wind is pushing with the weather or pushing against it. When the histogram is cleanly one-sided and expanding, it supports continuation-style trading and trend-following entries. When the histogram is choppy around zero, it warns you that conditions are rotational and patience usually pays.

MACD Histogram Expansion Alerts (Scalp)Purpose: Alerts when MACD histogram is expanding (momentum increasing) rather than simply crossing. Designed for 1-minute scalping and intraday momentum confirmation.
This script is for traders who are tired of late MACD cross alerts.
Instead of firing when MACD lines cross (which often happens after the move), this indicator alerts when the MACD histogram is expanding — meaning momentum is actually increasing right now, not rolling over.
I use it as a “heads up” alert, not a buy/sell signal. When it fires, I check price action, volume, VWAP, support/resistance, etc., to see if the move is worth trading.
Best suited for 1-minute charts, scalping, and fast intraday momentum.
MACD Histogram Expansion Alerts (Scalp) is a lightweight alert-focused indicator designed for intraday traders and scalpers, particularly on lower timeframes such as the 1-minute chart.
Rather than triggering alerts on standard MACD line crossovers (which tend to lag in fast or volatile markets), this script detects MACD histogram expansion — a condition that indicates momentum acceleration, not just direction.
🔍 What this script does
Uses a fast MACD configuration suitable for lower timeframes
Monitors the MACD histogram slope and magnitude
Triggers alerts only when the histogram expands for multiple consecutive bars
Alerts are fired on bar close only, reducing noise and false intrabar signals
🚀 Why focus on histogram expansion?
Histogram expansion highlights when momentum is building, which can be useful for:
Continuation setups
Early momentum confirmation
Avoiding entries when momentum is already fading
This approach is especially helpful in small caps, news-driven stocks, and volatile intraday instruments, where traditional MACD cross alerts can arrive too late.
🔔 Alert Types
Bullish MACD Histogram Expansion
Bearish MACD Histogram Expansion
Each alert can be enabled independently and is intended as an attention signal, not a standalone trading system.
⚙️ Customizable Inputs
MACD Fast / Slow / Signal lengths
Number of consecutive expanding histogram bars required
Optional minimum histogram magnitude filter
Optional directional filter (above/below zero line)
⚠️ Important Notes!!!!
This script does not place trades
Alerts should be used with additional context, such as price action, volume, VWAP, or support/resistance
Not designed for higher-timeframe or swing trading use .

Minervini Ultimate +VCPMinervini Ultimate Suite (SEPA Dashboard)
This indicator implements Mark Minervini's "Trend Template" criteria combined with a Volatility Contraction Pattern (VCP) detector and a custom Relative Strength rating. It is designed to help traders visualize the technical health of a stock based on stage analysis concepts.
This indicator serves as a complete Control System (Dashboard) for Mark Minervini's SEPA trading strategy. Instead of manually checking five different metrics on every chart, this indicator performs the mathematical calculations and presents the "bottom line" in a single, organized table.
1. What This Indicator Does
The goal is to ensure you never enter a trade blindly. It verifies the stock against Minervini's strict requirements:
Trend: Is the stock in a healthy Stage 2 Uptrend?
Relative Strength: Is it stronger than the general market?
Buy Risk: Is it the right time to buy, or is the price extended?
Pressure: Are institutions accumulating or distributing?
VCP: Is there a breakout opportunity (volatility contraction) right now?
2. Key Benefits
Time-Saving: Instead of drawing lines and calculating percentages manually, you get immediate visual feedback (Green/Red).
Discipline: The indicator will flag "Extended" (Red) if you attempt to buy a stock that has run up too much, saving you from late entries and unnecessary losses.
Precision Timing: The VCP feature (Blue Dots) helps you identify the "calm before the storm"—the exact moment volatility contracts, which often precedes a major breakout.
3. Indicator Parameters & Features
A. Minervini Pressure (Buying vs. Selling)
What it checks: Money flow over the last 20 days.
Calculation: Sums up volume on "Up Days" (Green) versus volume on "Down Days" (Red).
Meaning:
🟢 Buying: More money is entering than leaving. A sign of institutional accumulation.
🔴 Selling: Selling pressure dominates. The price may be rising, but without strong volume backing.
B. Buy Risk (Price Extension)
What it checks: The distance of the current price from the 50-Day Moving Average. Minervini strictly warns against "chasing" stocks.
Signals:
🟢 Low Risk: Price is within 0% – 15% of the 50MA. This is the ideal "Buy Zone".
🟡 Caution: Price is 15% – 25% away. Buy with increased caution.
🔴 Extended: Price is >25% from the MA. Do not buy. The probability of a pullback is high.
⚪ Broken: Price is below the 50MA. The short-term trend is damaged.
C. TPR - Trend Template (Trend Power Rating)
What it checks: Is the stock in a Stage 2 Uptrend?
Strict Rules (All must be true for a PASS):
Price > 50MA > 150MA > 200MA.
The 200MA is trending UP (positive slope).
Price is near the 52-Week High (within 25%).
Price is above the 52-Week Low (at least 25%).
Meaning:
🟢 PASSED: Technically healthy and ready to move.
🔴 FAILED: The trend structure is broken (e.g., MAs are entangled).
D. RPR Score (Relative Performance Rating)
What it checks: How strong the stock is compared to the general market (S&P 500 / SPY).
Calculation: Weighted performance over 3, 6, 9, and 12 months vs. the SPY. The score ranges from 1 to 99.
Meaning:
🟢 80-99: Market Leader. These are the stocks Minervini targets.
🟡 70-80: Good, but not elite.
⚪ Below 70: Laggard (weaker than the market).
E. VCP Action (Volatility Contraction Pattern)
What it checks: Monitors price tightness. It calculates the range between the highest close and lowest close over the last 5 days.
Meaning:
🔵 SQUEEZE (Blue Text + Blue Dot on Chart): The price range has contracted to less than 2.5%.
Why it matters: When a stock stops moving wildly and trades in a tight range ("Flat Line"), it indicates supply has dried up. A high-volume breakout often follows immediately.
NQ Scalp EMA Reclaim EMA Momentum Pullback Indicator
What it does (typical EMA method used for momentum trading):
Trend filter: Fast EMA above Slow EMA = bullish bias; below = bearish bias
Entry: In bullish bias, wait for a pullback to the EMA “zone”, then a reclaim candle → BUY
In bearish bias, pullback into zone then rejection → SELL
Optional 200 EMA filter (only take longs above 200, shorts below 200)
Bullish Engulfing at Daily Support (Pivot Low) - R Target (v6)1. What this strategy really is (in human terms)
This strategy is not about predicting the market.
It’s about waiting for proof that buyers are stepping in at a price where they already should.
Think of it like this:
“I only buy when price falls into a known ‘floor’ and buyers visibly take control.”
That’s it.
Everything in the script enforces that idea.
2. The two ingredients (nothing else)
Ingredient #1: Daily Support (the location)
Support is an area where price previously fell and then reversed upward.
In the script:
Support is defined as the most recent confirmed daily swing low
A swing low means:
Price went down
Stopped
Then went up enough to prove that buyers defended that level
This matters because:
You’re not guessing where support might be
You’re using a level where buyers already proved themselves
“At support” doesn’t mean exact
Markets don’t bounce off perfect lines.
So the script allows a small zone (the “support tolerance”):
Example: 0.5% tolerance
If support is at 100
Anywhere between ~99.5–100.5 counts
This prevents missing good trades just because price was off by a few ticks.
Ingredient #2: Bullish Engulfing Candle (the trigger)
This is the confirmation.
A bullish engulfing candle means:
Sellers were in control
Buyers stepped in hard enough to fully overpower them
The bullish candle’s body “swallows” the previous candle
Psychologically, it says:
“Sellers tried, failed, and buyers just took control.”
That’s why this candle works only at support.
A bullish engulfing in the middle of nowhere means nothing.
3. Why daily timeframe matters
The daily chart:
Filters out noise
Reflects decisions made by institutions, not random scalpers
Produces fewer but higher-quality signals
That’s why:
The script uses daily data
You typically get very few trades per month
Most days: no trade
That “boredom” is the edge.
4. When a trade is taken (exact conditions)
A trade happens only if ALL are true:
Price drops into a recent daily support zone
A bullish engulfing candle forms on the daily chart
Risk is clearly defined (entry, stop, target)
If any one is missing → no trade
5. How risk is controlled (this is crucial)
The stop loss (where you admit you’re wrong)
The stop is placed:
Below the support level
Or below the low of the engulfing candle
With a small ATR buffer so normal noise doesn’t stop you out
Meaning:
“If price breaks below this area, buyers were wrong. I’m out.”
No hoping. No moving stops. No exceptions.
Position sizing (why this strategy survives losing streaks)
Each trade risks a fixed % of your account (default 1%).
So:
Big stop = smaller position
Small stop = larger position
This keeps every trade equal in risk, not equal in size.
That’s professional behavior.
6. The take-profit logic (why 2.8R matters)
Instead of guessing targets:
The strategy uses a multiple of risk (R)
Example:
Risk = $1
Target = $2.80
You can lose many times and still come out ahead.
This is why:
Win rate ≈ 60% is more than enough
Even 40–45% could still work if discipline is perfect
7. Why patience is the real edge (not the pattern)
The bullish engulfing is common.
Bullish engulfing at daily support is rare.
Most people fail because they:
Trade engulfings everywhere
Ignore location
Lower standards when bored
Add “just one more indicator”
Your edge is:
Saying no 95% of the time
Taking only trades that look obvious after they work
8. How to use this strategy effectively (rules to follow)
Rule 1: Only take “clean” setups
Skip trades when:
Support is messy or unclear
Price is chopping sideways
The engulfing candle is tiny
The market is news-chaotic (earnings, FOMC, etc.)
If you have to convince yourself, skip it.
Rule 2: One trade at a time
This strategy works best when:
You’re not stacked in multiple correlated trades
You treat each setup like it matters
Quality > quantity.
Rule 3: Journal screenshots, not just numbers
After each trade, save:
Daily chart screenshot
Support level marked
Entry / stop / target
After 50–100 trades, patterns jump out:
Best tolerance %
Best stop buffer
Markets that behave well vs poorly
That’s how the original trader refined it.
Rule 4: Expect boredom and drawdowns
You will have:
Weeks with zero trades
Clusters of losses
Long flat periods
That’s normal.
If you “fix” it by adding more trades:
You destroy the edge.
9. Who this strategy is perfect for
This fits you if:
You don’t want screen addiction
You prefer process over excitement
You’re okay being wrong often
You want something you can execute for years
It is not for:
Scalpers
Indicator collectors
People who need action every day
10. The mindset shift (the real lesson of that story)
The money didn’t come from bullish engulfings.
It came from:
Defining one repeatable behavior
Removing everything else
Trusting math + patience
Doing nothing most of the time
If you want, next we can:
Walk through real example trades bar-by-bar
Optimize settings for a specific market you trade
Add filters that increase quality without adding complexity
BBQ Levels - Options Spread Diversification GridOverview
BBQ Levels (also known as "The Grill") is a price-level tracking indicator designed for options traders who use iron condors, put credit spreads, or other spread strategies. It divides the price chart into horizontal zones and tracks which "level" the market currently occupies, helping traders diversify their positions across different price ranges rather than concentrating risk at a single strike.
The indicator uses a playful Star Wars naming convention: upward-trending levels are called "Jedi Levels" (JL) and downward-trending levels are called "Sith Levels" (SL). This terminology originated from a trading mentor who found it easier to remember than directional abbreviations.
How It Works
Level Grid System
The indicator creates a grid of horizontal price levels based on your chosen spacing (default: 10 points). Each level represents a price zone where you might consider placing a spread trade.
Trend State Tracking
The indicator operates in one of two modes:
Jedi Mode (Bullish): When price is advancing upward through levels. Each time price breaks above the current level's top boundary, the indicator advances to the next Jedi Level (JL1 to JL2 to JL3, etc.).
Sith Mode (Bearish): When price is declining through levels. Each time price breaks below the current level's bottom boundary, the indicator advances to the next Sith Level (SL1 to SL2 to SL3, etc.).
Level Transitions
Transitions between modes occur when price reverses and touches the opposing level boundary. The indicator uses high/low touches (not closes) to determine level breaks, providing faster signals.
Trade Visualization Boxes
You can overlay up to 10 colored rectangles representing your actual options positions. Each box shows:
- Opening date (when you entered the trade)
- Expiration date (when the options expire)
- Upper and lower strikes (defining your spread's range)
- Custom label (e.g., "Jan IC" or "Feb Put Spread")
This lets you see at a glance which price zones you have covered and where gaps exist in your "grill."
Practical Application
Vertical Diversification Strategy
The core idea is to diversify iron condors across multiple price levels rather than placing all trades at the current market price:
When market reaches extended Jedi Levels (JL3 or higher): Consider reducing delta on new put credit spreads, as the market may be overextended to the upside.
When market reaches extended Sith Levels (SL3 or higher): Consider increasing delta on new positions, anticipating potential mean reversion.
Coverage Visualization
By drawing boxes for your active positions, you can see which price ranges are "protected" by existing spreads and identify gaps where additional positions might provide better coverage.
Settings Guide
Main Settings
Level Spacing - Distance between horizontal levels in price points. Default is 10. For SPY, 10 points creates meaningful zones; for SPX, consider 50-100 points.
Trade Boxes (1-10)
Each trade slot has these settings:
Show Trade - Toggle visibility of this position box
Label - Custom name for the trade (e.g., "Jan 17 IC")
Opening Date - When you entered the position
Expiration Date - Options expiration date
Upper Strike - Top of your spread range
Lower Strike - Bottom of your spread range
Visual Elements
Green labels (JL1, JL2...) - Mark upward level progressions
Red labels (SL1, SL2...) - Mark downward level progressions
Blue labels - Mark trend reversal points (JL1 after Sith mode, SL1 after Jedi mode)
Dashed blue grid lines - Show level boundaries extending into the future
Colored boxes - Your configured trade positions
Status table (top right) - Current price, level, and trend direction
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard support/resistance indicators, BBQ Levels is specifically designed for options spread traders. It provides:
A systematic framework for diversifying positions across price levels
Visual overlay of actual trade positions against the level grid
State-based tracking that distinguishes between bullish and bearish market phases
Actionable context for adjusting spread deltas based on market extension
Best Used On
SPY, SPX, or other index products where you trade iron condors
Daily or 4-hour timeframes for position planning
Lower timeframes (1H, 15m) for timing entries within levels
Limitations
This indicator does not predict price direction - it only tracks which level price currently occupies
The level spacing is fixed and does not adapt to volatility
Trade boxes are manual inputs - you must update them as you open/close positions
Level progression rules may generate frequent signals during choppy, range-bound markets
This is a visualization and organizational tool, not a trading signal generator
Disclaimer
This indicator is for educational and organizational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions.
Options trading involves substantial risk and is not suitable for all investors
Past performance does not guarantee future results
Iron condors and credit spreads have defined risk but can still result in significant losses
Always conduct your own research and consider consulting a financial professional

v1.0 - Initial release with level tracking
v1.1 - Bug fix: levels now update on touch, not close
v1.2 - Added trade visualization boxes (up to 10 positions)
v1.3 - Fixed expiration date rendering for trade boxes
SMA Indicator Signals [MK]Overview
The SMA Indicator Signals indicator is designed to identify high-probability trend-following entries using a dual SMA system and RSI filtering. Unlike traditional crossover indicators that rely on ta.crossover (which often fails during volatile market gaps), this script uses state-based logic to capture signals even when the price "jumps" over the moving average.
The "Gap-Over" Problem Solved
In fast-moving markets or at market open, price often gaps significantly. If the price opens above the SMA 20 after being below it, a standard indicator usually misses the signal because no "physical" cross occurred on the chart.
This indicator compares the current state to the previous state. If the price is now above the SMA while previously being below, the signal triggers regardless of the gap.
Key Features
Persistent Signals: Unlike strategies that hide signals while a trade is active, this indicator plots an icon for every valid occurrence, allowing you to scale into positions or identify secondary entries.
Trend-Filtered: Long signals only appear when the 20 SMA is above the 50 SMA (and vice-versa for shorts).
RSI Guardrail: Built-in RSI logic prevents you from chasing "Longs" into overbought territory or "Shorts" into oversold conditions.
Universal Alerts: Includes pre-configured alertcondition calls for Longs, Shorts, or both.
How to Trade it
The Signal: Look for the Green (Long) or Red (Short) triangles.
User Discretion: Since this version removes automated ADX/Expansion filters, the trader should look at the "width" of the gap between the Blue (20) and Orange (50) SMAs. Wider gaps usually indicate stronger momentum.
Alerts: Create an alert and select "Any SSMA Signal" to be notified on your phone or desktop the moment a setup forms.
Settings
Fast SMA (20): Your primary trigger line.
Slow SMA (50): Your primary trend filter.
RSI Thresholds: Customize how "early" or "late" you want to be filtered out of a move based on momentum.
Adaptive Quant RSI [ML + MTF]This is an advanced momentum indicator that integrates Machine Learning (K-Means Clustering) with Multi-Timeframe (MTF) analysis. Unlike traditional RSI which uses fixed 70/30 levels, this script dynamically calculates support and resistance zones based on real-time historical data distribution.
Key Features:
🤖 ML Dynamic Thresholds: Uses K-Means clustering to segment RSI data into clusters, automatically plotting dynamic long/short thresholds that adapt to market volatility.
⏳ MTF Trend Background: The background color changes based on a Higher Timeframe (e.g., 5-min) RSI trend, helping you align with the broader market direction.
📊 Extreme Statistics: Incorporates percentile analysis (95th/5th) and historical pivots to identify extreme overbought/oversold conditions with high reversal probability.
📈 Probability Analysis: Displays the statistical probability of the current RSI value being at the top or bottom of its historical range.
Usage: Look for confluence between the dynamic ML thresholds and the MTF background color to identify high-probability reversal setups.

Intuitive Predictive MACD TargetsThis indicator uses Reverse Engineering math to calculate the exact price the market needs to reach for specific MACD events to happen on the current bar.
Standard MACD is a lagging indicator—you usually wait for the candle to close to confirm a signal. This script changes that by drawing "Finish Lines" on your chart, showing you exactly where price must go right now to trigger a Crossover or a Momentum Hook.
The "Reverse Engineering" Concept
Instead of calculating MACD from Price, we calculate the Required Price from the Target MACD.
Q: "At what price will the MACD line cross the Signal line?"
A: The script solves this and draws the Green/Red "Crossover" Line.
Key Features
1. Three Distinct Targets
Crossover Target (PCO/NCO): The exact price needed to trigger a Buy/Sell signal on the current candle.
Dynamic Coloring: Turns Green if price needs to go UP to cross, Red if price needs to go DOWN.
Settlement Target (The Hook): The exact price where the MACD momentum flattens out (Angle = 0). If price touches this Orange Dashed Line, the trend is likely pausing or preparing to reverse.
Zero Cross Target: The price needed for MACD to reclaim the Zero Line.
2. Smart "Staggered" Labels (No Overlap)
Unlike other scripts where text piles up and becomes unreadable, this indicator automatically spreads labels horizontally.
Crossover info stays near the price.
Settlement info is shifted to the right.
Zero info is shifted further right.
Result: You can read all three targets clearly, even if the prices are almost identical.
3. Full Customization
Line Length: Choose "Infinite" to see targets as Support/Resistance levels across the screen, or "Short" to keep your chart background clean.
Text Visibility: Option to force text to White or Black for high contrast on Dark/Light themes.
Styles: Fully adjustable colors, line widths, and styles (Solid, Dashed, Dotted) for each target type.
How to Use
The "Finish Line" Strategy: If you are Long, and the Red NCO Line appears just below the current price, be cautious. It means a very small drop will confirm a Bearish Cross.
Momentum Checks: Watch the Orange "Settlement" Line.
If price is moving away from the Orange line, the trend is accelerating (Safe to hold).
If price touches the Orange line, momentum has died (Consider taking profit).
Settings
Visual Settings: Change Line Length (Infinite/Short) and Text Color.
MACD Settings: Standard inputs (Default 12, 26, 9).
Toggles: Option to show/hide the Zero Line target.
MA 6hour line green redUse the 6-hour chart for futures.
If the chart is above this line, go long.
Do not go long while it's below.
It's simple, but please follow this rule.
Trend Force Index (HTF Momentum)📌 Description
Trend Force Index • HTF Momentum (TFI-HTF) is a market context and trend-strength indicator designed to help traders understand directional force, momentum quality, and higher-timeframe bias.
This tool measures directional impulse and trend pressure using a dual-average force model, normalized by volatility. Instead of producing buy or sell signals, it focuses on how strong a move is, which side controls the market, and whether price is in a trending or compressing state.
🔍 What This Indicator Shows
Directional Force: Identifies bullish, bearish, and neutral force zones
Momentum Quality: Differentiates strong trends from weak or fading moves
Compression Zones: Highlights low-force environments where trades are often lower quality
Higher-Timeframe Context (HTF): Displays directional bias from a higher timeframe for alignment
Volatility Normalization: Adapts to changing market conditions using ATR
🧭 How to Use
Use force direction to confirm price action or structure-based setups
Trade in alignment with HTF bias for higher-probability context
Avoid entries during compression / low-force zones
Best used alongside price action, market structure, VWAP, or support & resistance
🎛 UI Presets
PRO Mode: Clean, subdued visuals for experienced traders
BEGINNER Mode: Higher contrast visuals for easier interpretation

Stacked 3 Stochastics [Wonniewant]Stacked 3 Stochastics
This indicator is designed for traders who need multi-timeframe momentum analysis in a single, compact view. Instead of cluttering your screen with three separate oscillator panes, this script stacks three Stochastic Oscillators vertically within one panel using an offset technique.
It provides a clear hierarchy of market momentum, from slow trends to fast execution signals, without overlapping lines.
Key Features:
Triple Layered View (Stacked):
Top Layer (Slow): Default 20-12-12. Best for identifying major trend direction and reversals.
Middle Layer (Medium): Default 10-6-6. Acts as a bridge between the trend and entry signals.
Bottom Layer (Fast): Default 5-3-3. Ideal for pinpointing precise entry and exit timing.
Clean Visualization:
Each Stochastic has its own dedicated zone (0-100, 125-225, 250-350), so the lines never get messy or confused.
Reference Lines: Clearly marked 80 (Overbought) and 20 (Oversold) levels for each individual layer directly on the chart.
Separators: Distinct white lines separate the layers for better readability.
Full Customization:
Toggle visibility for any layer.
Customize K & D Lengths, Smoothness, Colors, and Line Widths for each Stochastic independently via the settings menu.
How to Use:
Top Layer (Slow): Watch for crosses in the overbought/oversold zones to gauge the overall market sentiment.
Bottom Layer (Fast): Use for short-term trade execution when aligned with the upper layers.
Divergence: Compare the three layers to spot momentum divergence across different time horizons.

Session High/Low [gdad]There are many strategies that use the 5 min, 10 min or 15 min opening candle. There are also strategies that look at the behavior of other markets such as Tokyo and London as well as the pre-market. Along with these strategies, there is one by The Rumers (@the.rumers) that also looks at the Day ATR with his Padder Scalp strategy.
I trade Futures and like to see how the market has done for varying trading sessions.
I found it was time consuming and distracting to my trading to manually mark all these different things up. This indicator takes TradingView's Trading Sessions indicator and combined ideas borrowed the idea of taking the opening range breakout and extending it to the end of the trading session from Opening Range & Prior Day High/Low along with some additional enhancements and provided information.
It comes pre-built with eight different sessions:
Session 1: Futures Session
Session 2: Tokyo
Session 3: London
Session 4: NY Pre-Market
Session 5: New York
Session 6: 5 min open
Session 7: 10 min open
Session 8: 15 min open
The names, time spans, time zones, colors, whether to show the mid-line or averages and whether and how far to extend them are all customizable once you click Show Session. You can show none, one or multiple sessions. You can also choose which text shows up in the text box (the same will show for each session).
Warning: The Extend to Time range must start during the Session Time. You cannot have a Session Time of 9:30-9:45 and an Extend Time from 10:00-4:00.
Average is calculated by the sum of the close divided by the number of bars for the session.
IV Rank & Percentile Suite V1.0What This Indicator Does
The IV Rank & Percentile Suite provides the volatility context options traders need to time entries. It calculates two complementary metrics—IV Rank and IV Percentile—using historical volatility as a proxy, then displays clear visual zones to identify favorable conditions for premium selling strategies.
Stop guessing if volatility is "high" or "low." This indicator tells you exactly where current volatility sits relative to recent history.
The Two Metrics Explained
IV Rank (0-100) Measures where current volatility sits within its 52-week high-low range.
IV Rank = (Current HV - 52w Low) / (52w High - 52w Low) × 100
70 means current volatility is 70% of the way between the yearly low and high
Sensitive to extreme spikes (a single high reading affects the range)
IV Percentile (0-100) Measures what percentage of days in the lookback period had lower volatility than today.
IV Percentile = (Days with lower HV / Total days) × 100
70 means volatility was lower than today on 70% of days in the past year
More stable, less affected by outlier spikes
Why Both?
IV Rank reacts faster to volatility changes. IV Percentile is more stable and statistically robust. When both agree (e.g., both above 50), you have stronger confirmation. Divergence between them can signal transitional periods.
Zone System
The indicator divides readings into three zones:
Zone ------- Default Range ---- Meaning ------------------ Premium Selling
🟢 High ≥ 50 Elevated volatility Favorable
🟡 Neutral 25-50 Normal volatility Selective
🔴 Low ≤ 25 Compressed volatility Avoid
An additional Extreme threshold (default 75) highlights prime conditions when volatility is significantly elevated.
Zone thresholds are fully customizable in settings.
How to Use It
For Premium Sellers (Iron Condors, Credit Spreads, Strangles)
Wait for IV Rank to enter the green zone (≥50)
Confirm IV Percentile agrees (also elevated)
Enter premium selling positions when both metrics align
Avoid initiating new positions when in the red zone
For Premium Buyers (Long Options, Debit Spreads)
Low IV Rank/Percentile means cheaper options
Red zone can favor directional debit strategies
Avoid buying premium when both metrics are in the green zone
General Principle:
Sell premium when volatility is high (it tends to revert to mean). Buy premium when volatility is low (if you have a directional thesis).

Technical Notes
Volatility Calculation Method
This indicator uses close-to-close historical volatility as an IV proxy:
Calculate log returns: ln(Close / Previous Close)
Take standard deviation over HV Period
Annualize: multiply by √(Trading Days)
This method correlates well with implied volatility for most liquid instruments. On highly liquid options underlyings (SPY, QQQ, major stocks), HV and IV tend to move together, making this a reliable proxy for IV Rank analysis.
Non-Repainting
All calculations use confirmed bar data. Values are fixed once a bar closes.
Lookback Requirement
The indicator needs sufficient history to calculate accurately. For a 252-day lookback, ensure your chart has at least 300+ bars of data.
Best Used On
ETFs: SPY, QQQ, IWM, DIA
Indices: SPX, NDX
High-volume stocks: AAPL, TSLA, NVDA, AMD, META
Timeframe: Daily (recommended), Weekly for longer-term view
The indicator works on any instrument but is most meaningful on underlyings with active options markets.
Important Notes
⚠️ This indicator uses historical volatility as a proxy for implied volatility. While HV and IV are correlated, they are not identical. For precise IV data, consult your options broker's platform.
⚠️ High IV Rank does not guarantee profitable premium selling. It indicates favorable conditions, not guaranteed outcomes. Position sizing and risk management remain essential.
⚠️ Past volatility patterns do not guarantee future behavior. Volatility regimes can shift, and historical ranges may not predict future ranges.
Suggested Workflow
Add to daily chart of your preferred underlying
Set up alert for "IV Entered High Zone"
When alerted, check both IV Rank and IV Percentile
If both elevated, evaluate premium selling opportunities
Use your broker's actual IV data for final entry decisions

MAG7 Market Cap Weighted Index [Reflex]Summary
A synthetic intraday index built from the MAG7, weighted by market cap and plotted as true OHLC candles.
Usage
This indicator was designed for market breadth analyses. Since it uses market cap weighting, it behaves like any other index (eg. SPX).
It shows where mega-cap leadership is actually trading, making it useful for trend confirmation, divergence analysis versus NQ/ES, and contextualizing the breadth of the market.
The index is intentionally gated to the NY RTH session to avoid distorted behavior when component data is unavailable.
