BK AK-King Quazi🦁👑 BK AK–KING QUAZI — MEASURED HAND, CLEAN BLADE. 👑🦁
This is Quasimodo turned into a permissioned process: PROTO → BOS proof → RETEST → CONFIRM → resolve or invalidate — with mapped levels so you execute clean or you stand down.
All glory to the Almighty — the true source of wisdom, restraint, and endurance.
AK is honor — my mentor’s standard: clarity, patience, no shortcuts, no gambling.
🧠 What It Does
King Quazi detects and manages Quasimodo (QM) structures and outputs an execution-ready battlefield:
PROTO detection: identifies developing QM structure early (awareness, not a trade)
BOS validation: requires a displacement break (ATR-based) so you don’t trade fake breaks
RETEST logic: watches the key QM level for the “return to the scene”
CONFIRM stage: only triggers when structure + proof + timing align
INVALIDATION + cleanup: marks failure clearly and manages drawings to keep charts readable
Projections + targets: maps QM / BOS / INV, plus optional T1/T2 so planning is standardized
MTF War Room: reads multiple timeframes and shows who’s in PROTO / CONFIRM / NOW so you stop trading against the higher court
This is not a pattern sticker. It’s a workflow.
What You See On Chart (so it’s usable)
QM level + BOS level + invalidation line
Optional forward projections / extension
Optional target mapping (T1/T2)
Stage-aware labels (PROTO / CONFIRM / invalidation handling)
MTF table showing which timeframe is active and which stage is “live”
🔍 How It Works (So You Know It’s Not Random)
1) Swing Structure → QM Candidate
The script builds swing structure and recognizes valid QM geometry — no guesswork labels without structure.
2) BOS Displacement Filter (Proof of Intent)
Most QM tools fire when the shape appears. King Quazi demands body displacement vs ATR so a “break” has force behind it — not wick theater.
3) Retest + Confirm (Permissioned Entry)
After BOS, it expects retest behavior and confirms only when the market acts right at the level — not in the middle of nowhere.
4) Object Lifecycle (Clean Chart, Honest Outcome)
The script manages lines/labels so your chart stays readable and outcomes are tracked — not hidden.
🧩 Why This Script Is Original (Not Another QM Clone)
The Quasimodo concept is public. The edge here is the integration:
staged event sequencing (PROTO → BOS → RETEST → CONFIRM)
ATR displacement proof to cut false positives
standardized execution mapping (QM/BOS/INV + optional targets)
multi-timeframe stage awareness (so you stop fighting higher structure)
alert routing by event stage (signal control, not spam)
It’s not “more signals.” It’s better permission.
🧭 How To Use It (Execution Rules)
1) Campaign Mode (Trend-Aligned)
Trade only when the MTF posture supports it. PROTO is awareness — BOS/RETEST is proof.
2) Verdict Mode (Turns)
A reversal is not a feeling. It’s testimony failing at the boundary and pressure flipping. Confirm at the level or don’t touch it.
3) Stand-Down Mode (The Feature Tourists Hate)
When the tool goes quiet, it’s telling you the truth:
no permission = no trade.
That’s how capital survives.
⚙️ What You Actually Tune
Zigzag sensitivity (tight vs clean structure)
BOS displacement strictness (how hard price must prove intent)
Retest window + expiration (how strict confirmation is)
Projection visibility (QM/BOS/INV, forward extension)
Targets & entry zone behavior (T1/T2 + buffers)
MTF table + alerts (what you want surfaced)
🧑🏫 BK / AK / Faith
BK is the mark I’m building.
AK is honor — discipline, patience, clean execution.
All glory to the Almighty — the true source of wisdom and endurance.
🗡️ King David Lens (Deep — Discipline Under Fire)
David’s power wasn’t impulse. It was governed force — strength that answers to law.
He learned early that the most dangerous trap is moving before you’re sent.
That’s why his life is full of the same pattern traders ignore:
He was anointed long before he was crowned.
Meaning: truth can be real before it’s allowed to manifest.
He fought Goliath with a weapon people mocked — not because it was flashy, but because it was mastered.
Meaning: edge isn’t what looks impressive — it’s what’s trained and repeatable.
He had Saul in his hands and still refused the shortcut.
Meaning: opportunity is not permission; proximity is not assignment.
He waited through wilderness seasons where nothing “looked like progress.”
Meaning: silence isn’t rejection — sometimes it’s preparation.
That is the trader’s war.
Price will always offer motion.
But motion without permission is bait.
David didn’t survive by chasing what was available.
He survived by waiting until the moment was proved, the ground was chosen, and the strike was clean.
That’s what King Quazi enforces:
PROTO is the rumor.
BOS displacement is the proof.
Retest is the test of legitimacy.
Confirm is permission to strike.
Invalidation is humility — stand down immediately.
A lion doesn’t chase every shadow.
A lion waits until the prey is committed — then ends it.
🦁👑 BK AK–KING QUAZI — execute with proof. 👑🦁
Gd bless. 🙏

BK AK-Flag Formations🏴☠️ BK AK-Flag Formations — Continuation Structure, Tactical Readability. 🏴☠️
Built for traders who press momentum with discipline: it finds flagpoles + flags/pennants, validates the structure, draws the boundaries, and labels it in a way you can act on without clutter.
🎖️ Full Credit — Foundation Engine (Trendoscope)
Original foundation (Trendoscope Flags & Pennants):
The core detection engine (multi-zigzag swing extraction, pivot logic, validation/classification framework, and base drawing architecture) is by Trendoscope.
This script keeps that engine intact. My work adds a tactical execution layer: short tags + tooltip briefing + alert routing + forward border projection.
✅ What This Script Does
This indicator hunts continuation formations after an impulse move, and outputs three things:
Detects the pole (impulse leg) and the consolidation that follows
Classifies the consolidation as a Flag or Pennant, and assigns a bias (Bull/Bear/Neutral) based on context
Draws the structure and labels it cleanly, with optional hover briefings and filtered alerts
You get continuation structure across multiple sensitivities, so it can catch tight flags and larger, slower continuations without changing settings every chart.
🔍 How It Detects (So You Know It’s Not Random)
This is not “pattern art.” It’s rule-based swing logic + geometry:
1) Multi-Zigzag Sweep (micro → macro)
The script runs multiple zigzag levels (up to 4) to extract swings at different sensitivities.
That means the same market is scanned for both:
short, fast consolidations
larger, cleaner consolidations
2) Impulse + Consolidation Validation
After swings are extracted, the engine checks:
that the move qualifies as an impulse “pole”
that the consolidation stays within a controlled retracement window (your Max Retracement control)
that the consolidation geometry is coherent enough to be classified (tolerance controlled by Error Threshold and Flat Threshold)
3) Optional Quality Filters (you control strictness)
Verify Bar Ratio: checks proportion/spacing of pivots, not just price shape
Avoid Overlap: prevents stacking new patterns on top of existing ones
Max Patterns: hard cap so the chart stays readable
Repaint option: allows refinement if better coordinates form (useful for real-time traders)
🧩 BK Enhancements — Why This Publication Exists (Not a Mashup)
This is one pattern engine plus a purpose-built execution layer. Not “two indicators glued together.”
A) Short-Form Pattern Tags (clarity under pressure)
Instead of long labels drowning price, the script can replace them with compact codes:
BF / BeF / BP / BeP / F / P / UF / DF / RF / FF / AF / DeF
This is not cosmetic — it lets you keep structure visible while trading.
B) Tooltip Briefing (optional)
Hover a tag to see:
the full pattern name
the bias (Bullish/Bearish/Neutral)
So you get detail only when you request it, not sprayed across the chart.
C) Alert Routing (signal control, not spam)
Alerts can be filtered by:
Bias (Bull/Bear/Neutral)
Type (Flag vs Pennant)
So you can route only what you trade — e.g., bullish continuations only, or pennants only.
D) Pattern Border Extension (planning the break/retest)
Optional feature extends only the two true boundary lines forward by N bars, so you can plan:
breakout/breakdown levels
retest zones
invalidation outside structure
This extension is selective: it aims to extend the actual borders, not random zigzag legs.
How these work together:
Trendoscope detects/validates → draws the pattern → BK layer converts labels to short tags + applies transparency + tooltip overlay → BK alert router filters by bias/type → BK border extension projects the two boundary lines forward.
That’s the purpose: faster reads + cleaner execution planning.
🏷️ How To Read the Codes (Practical Translation)
BF — Bull Flag: strong pole → controlled pullback → watch boundary break + continuation
BP — Bull Pennant: thrust → tight compression → expansion confirms carry
BeF — Bear Flag: down impulse → weak rallies → breakdown favors continuation lower
BeP — Bear Pennant: pause beneath resistance → release favors trend continuation
F / P: generic tags when it’s valid but shouldn’t over-specify
⚙️ What You Actually Tune
Zigzag lengths/depths: sensitivity (faster vs cleaner)
Max Retracement: how deep consolidation may retrace the pole
Error / Flat thresholds: strictness of structure validation
Overlap / Max patterns: chart cleanliness
Labels: short tags, transparency, tooltips
Border extension: extend boundaries forward by N bars
Alerts: enable + filter by bias and by type

Bar Countdown ClockBar Countdown Clock
Description:
Displays the remaining time for the current bar on the chart. The countdown label follows the previous EMA5 price to stay stable during high-volatility markets. Font size and label position are fully customizable. Works well on BTC, Gold, Forex, and other trading instruments.
How to Use:
Add the indicator to your chart.
Adjust Clock Color, Font Size, and X Offset to suit your preference.
The label will automatically track the previous EMA5 price.
The countdown updates in real-time until the current bar closes.
Tips:
Increase X Offset if the label overlaps the current bar.
For high-volatility instruments, the label remains stable by following EMA5.
EMA Length can be adjusted to change the anchor point for the label.
BK AK-Warfare Formations👑 BK AK-Warfare Formations — Geometric Structure, Tactical Readability 👑
Built for traders who want validated structure (channels/wedges/triangles) without chart clutter — with compact tags, hover briefings, filtered alerts, and forward-projected battle lines.
🎖️ Full Credit — Foundation Engine (Trendoscope)
Original foundation (Trendoscope Auto Chart Patterns):
The entire pattern engine (multi-zigzag scanning, pivot logic, trendline-pair validation, geometric classification, overlap handling, pattern caps, and the base drawing framework) is by Trendoscope — one of the strongest Pine engineers on TradingView and the creator of the underlying detection architecture.
This script keeps that engine intact. My work is a tactical layer on top: readability + interaction + alerts + forward structure projection.
🧠 What This Script Does (User-Facing Output)
This indicator automatically detects and draws these geometric formations on price:
Channels
AC — Ascending Channel
DC — Descending Channel
RC — Ranging Channel
Wedges
RWE / FWE — Rising/Falling Wedge (Expanding)
RWC / FWC — Rising/Falling Wedge (Contracting)
Triangles
ATC / DTC — Ascending/Descending Triangle (Contracting)
ATE / DTE — Ascending/Descending Triangle (Expanding)
CT — Converging Triangle
DT — Diverging Triangle
You can display either the full pattern name or short tactical tags so structure stays visible without burying price.
🔍 How It Detects (So You Know It’s Not Random)
Trendoscope’s engine follows a strict geometric workflow:
1) Multi-Zigzag Sweep (micro → macro)
The script runs multiple zigzag configurations (up to 4) so it can detect the same market at different swing sensitivities — from tighter formations to broader ones.
2) Pivot Structure Validation (5 or 6 pivots)
A formation is only eligible when the swing sequence provides a valid pivot set (typically 5 or 6 pivots depending on your setting).
3) Trendline-Pair Validation + Geometry Classification
Two boundary trendlines are built and validated:
Upper boundary anchored to pivot highs
Lower boundary anchored to pivot lows
Then the engine measures geometry to classify:
Parallel → Channel
Converging / Diverging with same direction → Wedge
Converging / Diverging with opposing direction → Triangle
4) Quality Controls (optional but recommended)
Error threshold controls tolerance for line fit
Flat threshold controls what qualifies as “flat”
Bar ratio verification checks proportionality of swing spacing
Avoid overlap prevents stacking noisy patterns
Max pattern caps keeps chart readable
Net effect: You get validated geometry, not doodles.
🧩 BK Enhancements — Why This Publication Exists (Not a Mashup)
This publication is not “two indicators glued together.” It’s a single detection engine plus an execution-oriented interface layer built specifically to solve real pain points:
A) Tactical Labels (Clarity Under Pressure)
Short-form tags (AC/DC/RWE/CT…) to keep charts readable
Independent transparency controls (label text + background)
Optional hover tooltips that show full pattern name + directional bias (Bullish/Bearish/Neutral)
How it works together: Trendoscope detects/draws → BK label layer converts to short tags + applies transparency + tooltip overlay.
B) Alert System Upgrades (Signal Routing, Not Spam)
Alerts are filtered by:
Bias: Bullish / Bearish / Neutral
Category: Channel / Wedge / Triangle
So instead of “New Pattern!” noise, you can route only what you trade.
How it works together: When the engine confirms a pattern, BK’s alert router reads the pattern name → derives bias/category → checks your enabled filters → sends only approved alerts.
C) Pattern Border Extension (Forward Battlefield Edges)
Optional feature to extend only the two true boundary lines of the pattern forward by N bars so you can plan:
where price might react
where breaks/retests become obvious
where entries/invalidations belong
This extension logic is selective (it avoids extending zigzag legs/pivot scribbles) and attempts to extend the best-matching border pair only.
How it works together: After patterns are drawn, BK scans existing pattern lines → identifies the border pair → extends those borders forward.
⚙️ Core Controls (What You Actually Tune)
Scanning / Quality
Zigzag lengths & depths (swing sensitivity)
Pivots used: 5 vs 6
Error tolerance + flat threshold
Bar ratio verification
Overlap avoidance + repaint behavior
Max patterns displayed
Display / Readability
Theme colors or custom palette
Transparency for pattern lines/labels
Short labels ON/OFF
Tooltips ON/OFF
Border extension ON/OFF + extend bars
Alerts
Enable alerts overall
Filter by bias
Filter by category (Channel/Wedge/Triangle)
🗺️ How To Use It (Practical, Not Fantasy)
Channels: trade the lane — entries near the boundary, invalidation outside the structure
Wedges: watch compression/expansion and breaks + retests (distribution/accumulation behavior often shows here)
Triangles: plan edges, not the middle — compression → expansion is the whole point
This script gives structure. You still decide execution rules (entry trigger, invalidation, targets).

📈 STATISTICS EXPLAINED
For Each Tracked Time, You'll See:
🟢 Above Selected Lines (X samples):
Continued↑: Price stayed above the lines = bullish continuation
Reversed↓: Price broke below the lines = reversal/rejection
→Kept Going↓: After reversing down, price continued lower (bars 11-20)
→Stalled: After reversing down, price came back up (consolidation)
Neutral: Price didn't make a clear move either way
🔴 Below Selected Lines (X samples):
Continued↓: Price stayed below the lines = bearish continuation
Reversed↑: Price broke above the lines = reversal/support bounce
→Kept Going↑: After reversing up, price continued higher (bars 11-20)
→Stalled: After reversing up, price came back down (consolidation)
Neutral: No clear directional move
⭐ Star Ratings: Show which outcome happens most frequently (best probability)
🔬 HYBRID DETECTION SYSTEM (ADVANCED)
When enabled, the indicator uses a multi-signal composite scoring system that goes beyond simple percentage movements:
Signal A - % Movement Direction (40% weight):
Measures the strength and direction of price movement. Strong directional moves (>0.8%) score higher, while opposite-direction moves score negatively.
Signal B - Inside Candles (30% weight):
Detects true consolidation by counting how many candles close within a defined range. High inside-candle counts indicate choppy, stalled price action rather than clean continuation.
Signal C - Successive Closes (30% weight):
Tracks momentum persistence by counting consecutive closes in the expected direction. Long streaks (6+ bars) indicate strong follow-through, while breaks in the sequence suggest weakness.
Composite Score Classification:
⭐⭐⭐ Strong (75-100 points): All three signals align - high-confidence pattern
⭐⭐ Moderate (50-75 points): Two signals agree - reliable pattern
⭐ Weak (25-50 points): Mixed signals - lower confidence
⚠️ Strong Stalled (0-25 points): Signals show consolidation/reversal
This provides nuanced pattern detection that identifies not just IF a pattern succeeded, but HOW STRONGLY it performed.
💡 INTERPRETING RESULTS
Good Lines Show:
High continuation % when price is above/below (>60% is strong)
Clean "Kept Going" patterns after reversals (>50% indicates reliable rejection)
Low stalled % (less whipsaw/consolidation)
Consistent patterns across multiple times (validates the line's reliability)
Poor Lines Show:
50/50 continuation vs reversal (coin flip = no edge)
High stalled % (lots of whipsaw/false signals)
Inconsistent patterns across different times (unreliable)
Example Interpretation:
9:30 AM - VWAP Daily (120 samples)
🟢 Above:
Continued↑ 75 (62.5%) ⭐ BEST
Reversed↓ 30 (25.0%)
Meaning: When price is above VWAP Daily at 9:30 AM, it continues higher 62.5% of the time - this is a statistically strong bullish signal for that session time.
🎯 PRACTICAL VALUE
Solves the Whipsaw Problem:
Most moving averages and lines work beautifully in trending markets but create endless false signals in choppy, range-bound conditions. By analyzing specific session times and continuation vs reversal patterns, you can:
Identify high-probability setups: Focus on lines that show >60% continuation at your preferred trading times
Avoid weak signals: Skip lines with high stall rates or 50/50 outcomes
Time your entries better: Know which session times produce the cleanest patterns
Combine complementary lines: Stack multiple high-scoring lines for confluence
Adapt to market conditions: Switch to different lines when market structure changes
Real-World Application:
Instead of blindly trading VWAP crosses or MA bounces, you'll have objective data showing: "At 9:30 AM on ES, when price is above Mid MA + VWAP Daily + Volume POC, it continues higher 68% of the time with strong momentum (⭐⭐⭐)." This transforms discretionary guesswork into data-driven decision making.
⚙️ LINE DEFINITIONS
Moving Averages: Smooth price data over X periods to identify trend direction and dynamic support/resistance.
VWAP: Anchored average price weighted by volume - institutional traders' benchmark for "fair value."
Volume POC (Point of Control): Price level with the most traded volume - represents maximum market acceptance.
Fair Value Golden Ratio: Fibonacci 0.618 level between recent premium (high) and discount (low) - equilibrium zone.
DWAP (Delta Weighted): Price average weighted by buying vs selling volume delta - shows directional money flow.
Range Midpoints: Geometric center of recent high/low range - mean reversion pivot.
Volatility Bands: Envelope around momentum lines showing normal price deviation ranges.
HVN (High Volume Node): Automated detection of high-volume price clusters - institutional accumulation/distribution zones.
Note: This indicator is purely for statistical analysis and backtesting. It does not generate trade signals or provide entry/exit recommendations. Use the statistics to inform your own trading decisions and strategy development.
NQ 2026 Strategic Levels + Market MemoryTitle: NQ Strategic Levels 2026: Volume Profile & Market Memory
Description: This indicator plots the critical institutional levels for NQ (Nasdaq-100) heading into 2026. It is designed to help traders visualize the "Market Structure" map based on the 2025 yearly volume profile and key historical events.
How it Works: The script projects three dynamic "Zones" and three fixed "Historical Markers" to the right of your chart. It does not clutter the past price action; it focuses on future price discovery.
1. The 2026 Active Zones (Boxes):
🛑 Resistance (Supply Zone): Derived from the "Trapped Buyers" of late 2025. This is where overhead supply is likely to cause profit-taking.
⚖️ The Pivot (Equilibrium): Based on the Q4 2025 High Volume Node (HVN). This is the "Line in the Sand." Above this zone, the weekly bias is Bullish. Below it, the bias shifts to Bearish/Correction.
💰 The Buy Zone (Support): The Yearly Value Area Low (VAL). This represents the strongest institutional support and a high-probability area for "Buy the Dip" programs.
2. The 2025 Market Memory (Dashed Lines):
Triple Witch Liquidity: The December 2025 rejection high.
AI Summer Breakout: The key breakout level from mid-2025 that flipped from resistance to support.
Tariff Scare Floor: The macro bottom established during the volatility of April 2025.
How to Use:
Trend Followers: Watch the Pivot Zone. If price holds above it, target the Resistance Zone.
Mean Reversion Traders: Look for rejections at the Resistance Zone or bounces at the Buy Zone.
Risk Management: Use the Historical Markers as invalidated points or profit targets.
Disclaimer: These levels are based on volume analysis and historical price action. Not financial advice. Trade at your own risk.

Goldilocks Pivot FractalsGOLDILOCKS PIVOT FRACTALS - DESCRIPTION
Overview
Goldilocks Pivot Fractals identifies swing highs and lows using fractal pattern recognition with professional visual presentation. This indicator marks potential reversal points where price creates distinct peaks and valleys - perfect pivot points for support, resistance, and market structure analysis.
The "Goldilocks" name reflects the perfectly balanced visual presentation: not too cluttered, not too plain, just right for professional traders. Unlike standard fractal indicators, this edition features fully customizable Buy/Sell labels with tick-based positioning, independent toggle controls, and a high-contrast color scheme optimized for both dark and light chart themes.
What Makes It Unique:
- Professional label system with full customization (colors, sizes, tick-based offsets)
- Toggle labels and arrow shapes independently
- High-contrast default colors (teal/maroon) optimized for maximum visibility
- Clean, trader-friendly interface with intuitive settings
- Works flawlessly on all timeframes and instruments
How to Use
PERIOD ADJUSTMENT & ADJUSTING SENSITIVITY
The Period(s) setting controls how many signals you see:
• Period = 2 (default): Shows more signals, catches smaller price swings - best for day trading and scalping
• Period = 3-4: Shows medium amount of signals, filters out tiny moves - good for swing trading (holding days to weeks)
• Period = 5 or higher: Shows fewer signals, only the biggest turning points - best for long-term position trading
- Simple rule: Lower number = more signals. Higher number = fewer, but stronger signals.
SIGNALS
🟢 "BUY Label" (Down Fractal)
- Marks swing lows and potential support zones
- Look for price bouncing up after the fractal forms
- Use for identifying pullback entry points in uptrends
- Place stops below recent BUY fractals
🔴 "SELL Label" (Up Fractal)
- Marks swing highs and potential resistance zones
- Look for price rejecting down after the fractal forms
- Use for identifying profit targets or short entries
- Place stops above recent SELL fractals
REPAINTING BEHAVIOR
⚠️ This indicator repaints by design. Fractals require N bars on both sides to confirm, so they appear N bars after the actual pivot point. This is normal and ensures accurate pivot identification. Wait for complete confirmation before trading.
TRADING APPLICATIONS
1. Support/Resistance: Mark key price levels for entries and exits
2. Market Structure: higher BUY fractals = uptrend, lower SELL fractals = downtrend
3. Stop Placement: Use recent fractals as logical stop-loss levels
4. Breakout Trading: Monitor price breaking above/below fractal levels
5. Trend Following: Enter on pullbacks to BUY fractals in uptrends
6. Swing Trading: Identify major swing points for position entries
CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS
• Show BUY/SELL Labels**: Toggle professional text labels on/off

MoBo Bands - Momentum Breakout IndicatorDESCRIPTION
MoBo Bands (Momentum Breakout Bands) is a volatility-based breakout detection indicator that helps traders identify potential momentum shifts in the market. The indicator uses dynamic bands calculated from standard deviation to signal when price breaks above or below established ranges, indicating potential bullish or bearish momentum changes.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
KEY FEATURES
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
- Dynamic upper and lower bands based on standard deviation
- Color-coded bands that change based on breakout direction (green for bullish, red for bearish)
- Visual breakout arrows marking entry points above/below bands
- Optional colored fill zones between bands showing current momentum state
- Customizable displacement for band projection
- Built-in alert system for breakout and breakdown signals
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW IT WORKS
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
The indicator calculates a middle line using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) with upper and lower bands positioned using standard deviation multipliers. When price closes above the upper band, a bullish breakout (green) is signaled. When price closes below the lower band, a bearish breakdown (red) is signaled. The bands and fill zones remain colored until the opposite signal occurs, providing clear visual confirmation of the current momentum state.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
CUSTOMIZABLE INPUTS
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
CALCULATION PARAMETERS:
- Price Source - Select which price data to use (default: close)
- Length - Period for SMA and standard deviation calculation (default: 10)
- Num Dev Up - Standard deviation multiplier for upper band (default: 0.8)
- Num Dev Down - Standard deviation multiplier for lower band (default: -0.8)
- Displace - Shift bands forward for projection analysis (default: 0)
DISPLAY OPTIONS:
- Colored Mobo - Enable/disable color-coded bands
- Colored Fill - Enable/disable fill zones between bands
- Break Arrows - Show/hide breakout and breakdown arrows
ALERT OPTIONS:
- Show Alerts - Enable/disable alert conditions

═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Watch for price to close outside the bands as potential breakout signals:
BULLISH BREAKOUT: Green arrow appears below the lower band when price closes above the upper band, indicating upward momentum shift.
BEARISH BREAKDOWN: Red arrow appears above the upper band when price closes below the lower band, indicating downward momentum shift.
The bands also serve as dynamic support and resistance levels. When bands are green, momentum is bullish. When bands are red, momentum is bearish.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
BEST PRACTICES
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
- This indicator works well on liquid futures contracts (MNQ, MES, MYM, MGC, MCL) and major
currency pairs across multiple timeframes

IronRod Trigger SystemIRONROD TRIGGER SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
IronRod Trigger System is a momentum oscillator based on the Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) that identifies trend changes, momentum shifts, and range-bound "chop" zones. Features color-changing SMI lines, histogram columns showing momentum strength, and a visual chop zone that highlights when to trade versus when to stay on the sidelines.
The system combines momentum direction (green/red lines), momentum strength (histogram columns), and market context (chop zone cloud) into one clean visual package. The dynamic zero line changes color to signal trade conditions (cyan) versus hold conditions (orange).
What Makes It Unique:
Dual color-changing lines (SMI and AvgSMI) show momentum direction
Histogram columns display momentum strength
Chop zone cloud identifies low-momentum periods
Dynamic zero line (cyan = trade, orange = hold)
Three-color histogram (green = strong up, red = strong down, gray = weak)
Adjustable chop zone threshold
How to Use
THE DISPLAY
Lines:
Green = bullish momentum (rising)
Red = bearish momentum (falling)
Gray = neutral/sideways
Histogram Columns:
Green = strong bullish momentum
Red = strong bearish momentum
Gray = weak/choppy momentum
Zero Line:
Cyan (blue) = trade zone - momentum is directional
Orange = chop zone - momentum is weak, avoid trading
Chop Zone Cloud:
Gray shaded area = range where momentum is indecisive (±30 default)
TRADING STRATEGIES
1. Chop Zone Trading
Trade: Only when SMI is outside gray cloud AND zero line is cyan
Avoid: When SMI is inside cloud OR zero line is orange
Long: Green line appears above chop zone
Short: Red line appears below chop zone
This is the key feature - dramatically reduces whipsaws
2. Zero Line Crosses
Buy: SMI crosses above zero with cyan zero line
Sell: SMI crosses below zero with cyan zero line
Strongest signals when AvgSMI follows SMI across zero
Ignore crosses when zero line is orange (choppy)
3. Histogram Strength
Strong trend: Multiple consecutive green/red columns
Momentum building: Columns getting taller
Momentum fading: Columns turning gray = exit warning
Reversal signal: Gray columns after strong trend
4. Divergence Trading
Bearish divergence: Price higher high, SMI lower high → take red line signal
Bullish divergence: Price lower low, SMI higher low → take green line signal
Most powerful outside chop zone
ENTRIES & EXITS
Entries:
SMI line turns green outside chop zone (long)
SMI line turns red outside chop zone (short)
SMI crosses zero with cyan zero line
Exits:
SMI line changes color
SMI enters chop zone (orange zero line)
Histogram turns gray
Stops:
Below recent swing low (longs)
Above recent swing high (shorts)
ADJUSTING SETTINGS
Chop Zone (±) (default: 30):
Lower (15-25) = More trades, more whipsaws
Higher (35-50) = Fewer trades, higher quality

✅ Reduces whipsaws
Fractal Market Geometry [JOAT]
Fractal Market Geometry
Overview
Fractal Market Geometry is an open-source overlay indicator that combines fractal analysis with harmonic pattern detection, Fibonacci retracements and extensions, Elliott Wave concepts, and Wyckoff phase identification. It provides traders with a geometric framework for understanding market structure and identifying potential reversal patterns with multi-factor signal confirmation.
What This Indicator Does
The indicator calculates and displays:
Fractal Detection - Identifies fractal highs and lows using Williams-style pivot analysis with configurable period
Fractal Dimension - Calculates market complexity using range-based dimension estimation
Harmonic Patterns - Detects Gartley, Butterfly, Bat, Crab, Shark, Cypher, and ABCD patterns using Fibonacci ratios
Fibonacci Retracements - Key levels at 38.2%, 50%, and 61.8%
Fibonacci Extensions - Projection level at 161.8%
Elliott Wave Count - Simplified wave counting based on pivot detection (1-5)
Wyckoff Phase - Volume-based phase identification (Accumulation, Markup, Distribution, Neutral)
Golden Spiral Levels - ATR-based support and resistance levels using phi (1.618) ratio
Trend Detection - EMA crossover trend identification (20/50 EMA)
How It Works
Fractal detection uses a configurable period to identify swing points:
detectFractalHigh(simple int period) =>
bool result = true
float centerVal = high
for i = 0 to period - 1
if high >= centerVal or high >= centerVal
result := false
break
Harmonic pattern detection uses Fibonacci ratio analysis between swing points. Each pattern has specific ratio requirements:
Gartley: AB 0.382-0.618, BC 0.382-0.886, CD 1.27-1.618
Butterfly: AB 0.382-0.5, BC 0.382-0.886, CD 1.618-2.24
Bat: AB 0.5-0.618, BC 1.13-1.618, CD 1.618-2.24
Crab: AB 0.382-0.618, BC 0.382-0.886, CD 2.24-3.618
Shark: AB 0.382-0.618, BC 1.13-1.618, CD 1.618-2.24
Cypher: AB 0.382-0.618, BC 1.13-1.414, CD 0.786-0.886
Wyckoff phase detection analyzes volume relative to price movement:
wyckoffPhase(simple int period) =>
float avgVol = ta.sma(volume, period)
float priceChg = ta.change(close, period)
string phase = "NEUTRAL"
if volume > avgVol * 1.5 and math.abs(priceChg) < close * 0.02
phase := "ACCUMULATION"
else if volume > avgVol * 1.5 and math.abs(priceChg) > close * 0.05
phase := "MARKUP"
else if volume < avgVol * 0.7
phase := "DISTRIBUTION"
phase
Signal Generation
Signals use multi-factor confirmation for accuracy:
BUY Signal: Fractal low + Uptrend (EMA20 > EMA50) + RSI 30-55 + Bullish candle + Volume confirmation
SELL Signal: Fractal high + Downtrend (EMA20 < EMA50) + RSI 45-70 + Bearish candle + Volume confirmation
Pattern Detection: Label appears when harmonic pattern completes at current bar
Dashboard Panel (Top-Right)

VWATR Stop-Loss BandsPurpose
The script provides an adaptive stop‑loss framework built from VWATR, it anchors protective levels to price extremes and scales them with both volatility and volume. The objective is to create stop‑loss zones that reflect real market intensity rather than arbitrary fixed distances.
How it works
The script computes true range, multiplies it by volume, and smooths both the volume‑weighted range and raw volume using the selected moving average, their ratio forms VWATR, a volatility measure normalized by traded volume. It then calculates the standard deviation of VWATR to capture volatility‑of‑volatility. Stop‑loss levels are constructed by offsetting the low and high by one VWATR, with additional layers created by adding or subtracting one to five standard deviations. The plots use strong colors for core levels and progressively lighter tones for outer layers, establishing a clear visual hierarchy.
Rationale
This structure gives the trader stop‑loss levels that adapt to changing market conditions, expanding during high‑energy phases and contracting during quiet periods, which reduces premature stop‑outs and aligns risk with actual volatility. The standard deviation layers provide a graded map of volatility stress, allowing the user to assess how far price must travel to breach increasingly extreme thresholds. The result is a stop‑loss system that is both reactive and context‑aware, offering more informed decision‑making than static offsets.

Rango y Apertura PersonalizadoThis indicator highlights the opening times, and also shows the highest and lowest point on that candle.
VAM Pro (Multi-Model) [Final]Volatility Adjusted Momentum (VAM) Pro+ is a professional quantitative tool designed to measure trend strength by normalizing momentum against market volatility. Standard momentum indicators often fail during high-volatility periods because they treat every price change the same regardless of market noise. This indicator solves that problem by scaling price changes based on their statistical significance using Z-Score logic. This Pro+ version is specifically optimized for Scalping and Intraday Trading by introducing advanced volatility estimators and mathematical horizon adjustments that superior to classic standard deviation models.
The indicator allows you to choose the most suitable volatility model for your specific asset class. The Parkinson Volatility model is highly recommended for Crypto markets because it uses the High-Low range instead of just close prices, effectively capturing intraday wicks and liquidation spikes that standard deviation often misses. For Equities and Forex, the Garman-Klass model is the most efficient choice as it utilizes the full Open-High-Low-Close data set to account for opening gaps and professional trading ranges.
The mathematical core of the script features a strict Horizon Adjustment based on the Square Root of Time rule. This aligns the one-bar volatility risk with your chosen momentum lookback period to ensure a mathematically consistent calculation. By default, the script uses Logarithmic Returns to maintain scale invariance, which is critical for assets with high percentage swings like Cryptocurrencies. To trade with VAM Pro, look for the histogram color and its relation to the Zero line. A Green histogram indicates positive volatility-adjusted momentum where bulls are dominant, while a Red histogram shows bearish dominance. Values reaching the +2.0 or -2.0 Sigma levels represent statistically extreme moves that often act as exhaustion points or precede strong mean-reversion opportunities. When the histogram crosses the yellow signal line, it provides an early warning that the current momentum is fading.
Investment involves risk. The Volatility Adjusted Momentum (VAM) Pro+ is an analytical tool and does not constitute financial advice, investment recommendations, or an offer to buy or sell any security. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Market conditions can change rapidly, and technical indicators may produce false signals. Always perform your own due diligence, use proper risk management, and consult with a certified financial advisor before making any trading decisions.

Options Liquidity Meter (OLM)❓ The question behind this indicator
When trading options, it is common to experience situations where price moves in the expected direction, yet the option contract does not increase in value as anticipated.
This typically happens when one or more of the following conditions is missing:
Insufficient liquidity participation
Lack of volatility expansion
Weak or passive order flow
Options Liquidity Meter (OLM) was created to address this specific question:
“If price moves from here, are there conditions for option premiums to actually expand?”
🎯 What this indicator does
Options Liquidity Meter is a context tool, not a trading system.
It evaluates whether the current market environment is favorable for option premium expansion , based on three core engines:
Liquidity (Relative Volume)
Measures whether price movement is supported by meaningful participation.
Volatility State
Identifies compression, release, and expansion phases, where options tend to respond differently.
Order Flow Activity (OBV-based)
Acts as a proxy for active vs. passive participation, helping filter hollow moves.
These components are combined into a single, easy-to-read options context.
🟢🟡🔴 Options Context Output
The indicator displays one consolidated state:
RED — NO EXPANSION
Price may move, but option premiums often do not respond.
YELLOW — BUILDING
Liquidity or volatility is developing. Conditions are improving but not fully aligned.
GREEN — EXPANSION LIKELY
Liquidity, volatility expansion, and active flow are aligned.
This is a favorable environment for option premium expansion.
The same logic is reflected visually through the background color and summarized in the dashboard.
📊 How to read the dashboard
The dashboard shows:
Liquidity: LOW / OK / HIGH
Volatility: COMPRESSED / RELEASED / EXPANDING
Order Flow: FLAT / ACTIVE
Options Context: NO EXPANSION / BUILDING / EXPANSION LIKELY
Below, a Background Color Meaning section explains what each color represents, making the indicator intuitive and educational.
📍 Where to apply this indicator
Options Liquidity Meter must be applied to the underlying asset chart, such as:
Indices (SPY, SPX, QQQ, etc.)
Stocks
Futures
ETFs
It is not designed to be applied to option contracts themselves.
The indicator evaluates the market conditions of the underlying, which are the drivers that influence option premium behavior.
Contract selection (strike, delta, gamma, expiration) remains the trader’s responsibility.
🧠 How to use it
Use your own methodology to define:
Direction
Structure
Entries and exits
Use Options Liquidity Meter to evaluate:
Whether the current environment supports option premium expansion
If the context is RED, be cautious — price may move without rewarding options.
If the context is GREEN, the environment is statistically more favorable for options responsiveness.
🔗 Complementary tools
Options Liquidity Meter is designed to complement, not replace, other tools.
It works well alongside:
Opening Path Selector (EMA200 Context Tool)
For deciding which asset offers the cleanest directional context.
Multi-Tool VWAP + EMAs (Multi-Timeframe) + Key Levels
For in-chart structure, bias, and reference levels.
Each tool addresses a different stage of the decision process and can be used independently.

BTC - DCA vs HODL Calculator MatrixBTC - DCA vs. HODL Calculator Matrix | RM
Overview
The BTC - DCA vs. HODL Calculator Matrix is a high-performance telemetry laboratory designed to settle the ultimate debate in Bitcoin accumulation: Is it more efficient to deploy all capital at once ( Lump Sum & HODL ) or utilize a recurring purchase strategy ( DCA )? More importantly, if DCA is the choice, which exact frequency and weekday provides the mathematical edge?
The Calculator Matrix was engineered to solve a critical limitation in the current script ecosystem (at least I couldnt find such an indicator): the inability to compare multiple DCA frequencies and specific calendar days simultaneously within a single dashboard. While developing this tool, I found that existing calculators typically only permit testing one strategy at a time (e.g., a generic "Weekly" buy). This script fills that gap by utilizing a high-performance array-based "Telemetry Engine" to rank dozens of variables—including every individual weekday and specific monthly dates—against a HODL benchmark in real-time. This unique simultaneous comparison allows investors to mathematically identify "Weekday Alpha" across any user-defined timeframe.
Core Philosophy
The script utilizes a Normalized Capital Model . To ensure a true "apples-to-apples" comparison, your total capital (e.g., $10,000) is distributed with mathematical precision across the exact number of entries for each specific strategy. This eliminates the ROI skewing commonly found in basic scripts, ensuring that every strategy is judged on the same total dollar expenditure over the same "Race Track."
Key Features & Analytics
• The Podium System: An automated ranking algorithm that awards 🥇 Gold, 🥈 Silver, and 🥉 Bronze medals to the top three performing strategies. Spoiler: Regular Winner: 1-time HODL (Lump Sum)
• Simultaneous Strategy Testing: Compare Daily, 7 different Weekly days (Mon-Sun), and Monthly dates (1st–28th) all at once.
• Risk Telemetry: Integrated Max Drawdown (MDD) sensors for every strategy, revealing the "Emotional Cost" of your accumulation path.
• Race Track Visuals: Blue dashed "Green Flag" and "Checkered Flag" lines visually define the boundaries of your backtest.
• Dashboard Customization: Use the "Odd/Even" filter to keep the matrix sleek and readable on (nearly) any screen resolution.
The Strategies Tested
• 1-TIME HODL: The benchmark (Lump sum entry on Day 1 - meaning all the capital is deployed at the start date).
• DAILY DCA: High-frequency, day-by-day accumulation (the capital is split amongst the different entries).
• WEEKLY (SUN-SAT): Evaluates which specific day of the week historically captures the best entries (e.g., "Weekend Dips").(The capital is split amongst the different entries).
• MONTHLY (1-28 + END): Tests monthly date performance to optimize for beginning-of-month or end-of-month cycles. (The capital is split amongst the different entries).
Monte Carlo Simulation & Python Research
While this tool allows you to manually check any specific timeframe, manual testing is limited by "Start Date Bias." To find the Universal Winner , I have conducted a Monte Carlo Simulation using 100 random entry dates over the last 5 years via Python/Colab. This research reveals the statistical probability of a day (like Saturday) winning the Gold medal across all market conditions.
Access the Python Heatmap Research in my substack article (link for substack in Bio).
How to Use
1. Set the Race Track: Input Start and End dates in the settings.
2. Fuel the Engine: Set your Total Capital ($).
3. Analyze the Matrix: Compare ROI vs. MAX DD. The goal is not just the highest return, but the best Risk-Adjusted return.
Technical Implementation
This script utilizes an array-based telemetry engine to handle the simultaneous calculation of 30+ independent investment strategies. To ensure computational efficiency and bypass the limitations of standard security-based backtesting, I implemented a custom-built accumulator logic using array.new_float() and array.set() . The core calculation loop ( if in_race and is_new_day ) processes capital deployment on a per-bar basis, utilizing ta.change(time("D")) to ensure entry synchronization with the Daily UTC close. By decoupling the unit accumulation ( u_weekly , u_monthly ) from the final valuation logic ( f_get_stats ), the script maintains a Normalized Capital Model. This ensures that even with complex comparative logic across varying frequencies, the script provides a mathematically rigorous, reproducible result that matches real-world execution at the Daily UTC Midnight close.
Note: All calculations are made on the "close" bar, which means UTC 00:00. By creating a strategy or using the research, make sure to be aware of your time zone

Buy / Sell Volume HeaderBuy / Sell Volume Header
Description
- Buy / Sell Volume Header displays real-time buying and selling volume with percentages in a clean dashboard at the top or bottom of your chart. The indicator calculates buying pressure as volume weighted toward the close relative to the bar's range, and selling pressure as volume weighted toward the high.
- Perfect for day traders and scalpers who need instant visual confirmation of buying vs selling pressure without cluttering their chart with additional panes.
Key Features:
- Real-time buy/sell volume split with percentages
- Customizable lookback period (1 bar for current, or sum multiple bars)
- Adjustable table position (top/bottom, left/center/right)
- Five size options (Tiny to Huge)
- Color-coded: Green (buying volume), Red (selling volume)
- Clean, minimal design that doesn't obstruct price action
Calculation Method:
- Buying Volume = Total Volume × (Close - Low) / (High - Low)
- Selling Volume = Total Volume × (High - Close) / (High - Low)
How to Use:
- Select header location (default: Top Right) and table size (default: Normal). Set lookback period to 1 for current bar only, or higher values to see cumulative volume over multiple bars.
Reading the Display:
- Green Box (Left): Buying volume and percentage of total
- Red Box (Right): Selling volume and percentage of total
- Numbers update in real-time on every tick
Trading Applications:
- Trend Confirmation:
- In uptrends, buying volume should consistently be >60%.
- In downtrends, selling volume should be >60%. Divergences warn of potential reversals.
Breakout Validation:
- Valid breakouts show 70%+ volume in breakout direction.
- Breakouts with <55% directional volume often fail.
Reversal Signals:
- When price makes new high but buying volume drops below 50%, watch for reversal. When price makes new low but selling volume drops below 50%, watch for bounce.
Scalping Entry:
- Enter long when buying volume spikes above 65-70% with price momentum. Enter short when selling volume spikes above 65-70% with price momentum.
Best Practices:
- Use lookback=1 for intraday scalping. Use lookback=3-5 for swing context. Combine with price action for confirmation. Volume percentages work best on liquid instruments (MNQ, MES, stocks with high volume).

52W High / Low + 20% Retracement52-Week High / Low with 20% Retracement Level
This indicator provides a visual context for momentum and drawdown
analysis using 52-week price extremes.
What it shows:
- The 52-week high and 52-week low levels.
- A retracement level defined as a fixed percentage (default 20%)
below the 52-week high.
How to interpret it:
- Price above the retracement level indicates that the stock has
corrected in a controlled manner and the broader momentum structure
is still intact.
- Price below the retracement level suggests a deeper drawdown and
potential deterioration of momentum.
Intended use:
- Designed as a quality filter, not as an entry or exit signal.
- Helps identify stocks with strong momentum that are consolidating
rather than breaking down.
- Should be combined with trend and liquidity filters.
Notes:
- The retracement percentage is adjustable.
- This indicator is descriptive, not predictive.
- It does not replace risk management or stop-loss rules.

█ SUPPORTED PLANET STRINGS
Works with symbols or plain names (case-insensitive):
• "☉︎ Sun" or "Sun"
• "☽︎ Moon" or "Moon"
• "☿ Mercury" or "Mercury"
• "♀ Venus" or "Venus"
• "🜨 Earth" or "Earth"
• "♂ Mars" or "Mars"
• "♃ Jupiter" or "Jupiter"
• "♄ Saturn" or "Saturn"
• "⛢ Uranus" or "Uranus"
• "♆ Neptune" or "Neptune"
• "♇ Pluto" or "Pluto"
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
█ COORDINATE SYSTEMS
Geocentric: Positions relative to Earth (default for Sun/Moon)
Heliocentric: Positions relative to the Sun
Use the preferGeo parameter in get_longitude():
• true = geocentric
• false = heliocentric
Sun and Moon always return geocentric (heliocentric not applicable).
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
█ FUTURE PROJECTIONS
Project planetary positions into the future using polylines:
import BlueprintResearch/lib_vsop_core/1 as core
// Get future timestamp (250 bars ahead)
future_time = core.get_future_time(time, 250)
// Calculate future position
future_lon = eph.get_longitude(mars, future_time, true)
Use with polyline.new() to draw projected paths on your chart. See the commented showcase code in this library's source for a complete 250-bar projection example.

normalizeLongitude(lon)
Normalizes any longitude value to the range [0, 360) degrees.
Parameters:
lon (float) : (float) Longitude in degrees (can be any value, including negative or >360).
Returns: (float) Normalized longitude in range [0, 360).
string_to_planet(planetStr)
Converts a planet string identifier to Planet enum value.
Parameters:
planetStr (string) : (string) Planet name (case-insensitive). Supports formats: "Sun", "☉︎ Sun", "sun", "SUN"
Returns: (Planet) Corresponding Planet enum. Returns Planet.Sun if string not recognized.
@note Supported planet strings: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto
get_longitude(p, t, preferGeo)
Returns planetary longitude with automatic coordinate system selection.
Parameters:
p (series Planet) : (Planet) Planet to query.
t (float) : (float) Unix timestamp in milliseconds (use built-in 'time' variable).
preferGeo (bool) : (bool) If true, return geocentric; if false, return heliocentric.
Returns: (float) Longitude in degrees, normalized to range [0, 360).
@note Sun and Moon always return geocentric regardless of preference (heliocentric not applicable).
get_declination(p, t)
Returns planetary geocentric equatorial declination.
Parameters:
p (series Planet) : (Planet) Planet to query.
t (float) : (float) Unix timestamp in milliseconds (use built-in 'time' variable).
Returns: (float) Geocentric declination in degrees, range where positive is north.
@note Declination is always geocentric (no heliocentric equivalent in library).
get_speed(p, t)
Returns planetary geocentric longitude speed (rate of change).
Parameters:
p (series Planet) : (Planet) Planet to query.
t (float) : (float) Unix timestamp in milliseconds (use built-in 'time' variable).
Returns: (float) Geocentric longitude speed in degrees per day. Negative values indicate retrograde motion. Returns na for Moon.
@note Speed is always geocentric (no heliocentric equivalent in library). Moon speed calculation not implemented.
