Demand Index - Metastock VersionThis script implements the Demand Index, a complex technical indicator originally developed by James Sibbet. This specific version is adapted from the classic MetaStock formula to ensure accuracy and consistency with the original methodology.
The Demand Index combines price and volume data to relate price pressure to volume intensity. It is often used as a leading indicator to predict price trends by assessing the balance between buying pressure (Demand) and selling pressure (Supply).
How It Works
The calculation involves several steps to normalize volume and price changes:
Weighted Close: It calculates a weighted close price giving extra weight to the closing price (High + Low + 2*Close) / 4.
Volatility & Volume Averages: It computes the Average True Range (ATR) proxy and an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the volume to establish a baseline.
Buying & Selling Pressure: The core logic compares the current weighted close to the previous one.
If prices rise, the volume is assigned to Buying Pressure.
If prices fall, the volume is assigned to Selling Pressure.
A decay factor (Constant) is applied based on volatility to smooth the reaction to extreme price moves.
The Index: The final oscillator is derived from the ratio of smoothed Buying Pressure to Selling Pressure.
How to Use It
The Demand Index oscillates around a zero line. Traders typically look for the following signals:
Divergence: This is the most common use.
Bullish Divergence: Prices are making new lows, but the Demand Index is making higher lows. This suggests selling pressure is waning and a reversal may be imminent.
Bearish Divergence: Prices are making new highs, but the Demand Index is making lower highs. This suggests buying pressure is drying up.
Zero Line Crossovers:
A cross above zero indicates that Buying Pressure has overtaken Selling Pressure (Bullish).
A cross below zero indicates that Selling Pressure has overtaken Buying Pressure (Bearish).
Trend Confirmation: In a strong trend, the Demand Index should generally move in the same direction as the price.
Settings
Length: The lookback period for the moving averages (Default is 19, consistent with the standard MetaStock setting).

Weis Wave Renko Panel 2 (Effort / Strength / Climax)Weis Wave Renko • Institutional HUD + Panel 2
Wyckoff / Auction Market Framework
This project consists of TWO COMPLEMENTARY INDICATORS, designed to be used together as a complete visual framework for reading Effort vs Result, Auction Direction, and Session Control, based on Wyckoff methodology and Auction Market Theory.
These tools are not trade signal generators.
They are context and decision-support instruments, built for discretionary traders who want to understand who is active, where effort is occurring, and when the auction is reaching maturity or exhaustion.
🔹 1) WEIS WAVE RENKO — INSTITUTIONAL HUD (Overlay)
📍 Location: Plotted directly on the price chart
🎯 Purpose: Fast, high-level institutional context and trade permission
The HUD answers:
“What is the current state of the auction, and is trading permitted?”
What the HUD shows:
🧠 Market Participation
Measures how much participation is present in the market:
Low Participation
Weak Participation
Active Participation
Dominant Participation
This reflects whether professional activity is present or absent, not direction alone.
📐 Auction Direction
Defines how the auction is currently resolving:
Auction Up
Auction Down
Balanced Auction
This is derived from price progression and effort alignment.
🔥 Effort (Effort vs Result)
Displays the relative strength of the current effort, normalized over recent waves:
Visual effort bar
Strength percentage (0–100)
Effort classification:
Low Effort
Increasing Effort
Strong Effort
Effort Exhaustion
This is the core Wyckoff concept: effort must produce result.
🌐 Session Control
Shows which trading session is controlling the auction:
Asia – Accumulation Phase
London – Development Phase
US RTH – Decision Phase
The dominant session is visually emphasized, while others are intentionally de-emphasized.
🔎 Market State & Trade Permission
Clearly separates structure from permission:
Structure (Neutral, Developing, Trending, Climactic Extension)
Permission
Trade Permitted
No Trade Zone
When Effort Exhaustion is detected, the HUD explicitly signals No Trade Zone.
🔹 2) WEIS WAVE RENKO — PANEL 2 (Lower Pane)
📍 Location: Dedicated lower pane below the price chart
🎯 Purpose: Detailed, continuous visualization of effort, strength, and climax
Panel 2 answers:
“How is effort evolving, and is the auction maturing or exhausting?”
What Panel 2 shows:
📊 Effort Wave (Weis-like)
Histogram of accumulated effort per directional wave
Green: Auction Up effort
Red: Auction Down effort
This reveals where real participation is building.
📈 Strength Line (0–100)
Normalized strength of the current effort wave
Same calculation used by the HUD
Enables precise comparison of effort over time
⚠️ Climax / Effort Exhaustion Marker
Triggered when effort is both strong and mature
Highlights Climactic Extension / Exhaustion
Serves as a warning, not an entry signal
🔗 HOW TO USE BOTH TOGETHER (IMPORTANT)
These indicators are designed to be used simultaneously:
Panel 2 reveals
→ how effort is building, peaking, or exhausting
HUD translates that information into
→ market state and trade permission
Typical workflow:
Panel 2 identifies rising effort or climax
HUD confirms:
Participation quality
Auction direction
Session control
Whether trading is permitted or restricted
⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES
These tools do not generate buy or sell signals
They are contextual and structural
Best used with:
Wyckoff schematics
Auction-based execution
Market profile / volume profile
Discretionary trade management
🎯 SUMMARY
Institutional, non-lagging framework
Effort vs Result at the core
Clear separation between:
Context
Structure
Permission
Designed for professional discretionary traders
Intermarket Divergence (Futures vs Equity)Intermarket Divergence (Futures vs Equity)
This indicator detects intermarket divergence between a traded instrument (futures, CFD, or spot) and a related equity or ETF.
It highlights moments where price and its underlying market drivers disagree, often appearing before reversals or expansions.
🎯 What It Shows
Bullish divergence:
Price makes a lower low while the equity makes a higher low
Bearish divergence:
Price makes a higher high while the equity makes a lower high
Based on swing pivots, not candle noise
Designed for intraday context, not mechanical entries
✅ Recommended Use
XAUUSD (Gold) → GDX (default)
XAGUSD (Silver) → SIL
USOIL / WTI → XLE
(These guidelines are included directly in the indicator settings.)
🧭 How to Use
Apply on 15m–30m
Look for signals near key levels (PDH/PDL, Asia high/low, HTF structure)
Use price action for entries
Divergence is context, not a signal.
⚠️ Notes
Non-repainting
Signals are selective by design
Best during London & New York sessions
Daily ATR (Shown on All Timeframes)Daily ATR (Shown on All Timeframes) displays the Daily timeframe ATR on any chart you’re viewing, so you always know the current day’s average range without switching timeframes.
True Daily ATR (not chart ATR): The script pulls ATR from the Daily chart using request.security() and shows that value on every timeframe.
On-chart table (top-right): A clean 2-row table shows:
The label: Daily ATR (Length)
The ATR value, with an optional ATR-as-% of price readout.
Custom display controls:
ATR Length input (default 14)
Toggle to show ATR % of current price
Toggle to show/hide the table
Choose table text color
Choose table text size (Tiny → Huge)
Data Window output: The Daily ATR value is also plotted invisibly so it appears in TradingView’s Data Window for quick reference.
This is useful for gauging daily volatility, setting risk/position sizing, and comparing intraday movement to the stock’s typical daily range.
[Greeny] RTH Only Naked VPOCWhat it does
Calculates and displays daily Volume Point of Control (VPOC) levels based on RTH (Regular Trading Hours) session only. Tracks which VPOCs remain "naked" (untouched) and which have been hit - but only counts hits during RTH hours, ignoring overnight/globex touches.
Key Features
One VPOC per trading day calculated from entire RTH session volume profile
RTH-only hit detection - levels only marked as hit when touched during RTH, not overnight
Works on all timeframes - daily, hourly, or any chart timeframe
Volume-based filtering - automatically skips low-liquidity sessions (pre-front-month contract data)
Visual markers - small dash on origin bar shows where each VPOC was, even after being hit
Visual Guide
Yellow dashed line - Naked VPOC (not yet touched during RTH)
White dashed line - Hit VPOC (was touched during RTH)
Small dash on candle - POC origin marker
Settings
Display options: Toggle to show only naked POCs, customize hit/naked colors, adjust line width and style (solid/dashed/dotted), enable/disable line extension and origin markers.
RTH Session: Configure start and end time in NY timezone. Default is 9:30-16:00 (US equity market hours), which equals 15:30-22:00 Budapest time.
Advanced: Adjust volume profile resolution (default 250 bins), data source timeframe for calculations (5min recommended for daily charts), and minimum volume threshold to filter out low-liquidity sessions like pre-rollover contract data (default 10% of average).
Best For
ES/MES, NQ/MNQ futures traders
Mean reversion strategies using VPOC as support/resistance
Auction Market Theory practitioners
Anyone wanting clean RTH-only volume profile levels
Note on Contract Rollovers
When using specific contract symbols (e.g., ESH2026 instead of ES1!), the script may show many naked VPOCs from months before the contract became active. This happens because futures contracts have very low liquidity before becoming the front-month, creating unreliable VPOCs with gaps that never get hit. The volume filter helps reduce this, but you may need to increase the "Min Volume % of Average" setting or simply ignore older levels when viewing back-month data.

WHAT IS SUPPORT AND RESISTANT ?
Support and resistance are fundamental concepts in technical analysis used to identify price levels on charts that are likely to act as barriers, preventing the price from moving in a certain direction.
Support:
Definition: Support refers to a price level at which an asset tends to stop falling because demand is strong enough to prevent further declines. It acts as a "floor" for the price, where buyers step in to buy the asset, causing the price to rebound or stabilize.
Example: If a stock is trading at $50 and repeatedly fails to drop below that level, $50 would be considered a support level.
Resistance:
Definition: Resistance is the opposite of support. It refers to a price level at which selling pressure is strong enough to prevent the price from rising further. It acts as a "ceiling," where sellers are more willing to sell, causing the price to reverse or consolidate.
Example: If the price of an asset repeatedly fails to rise above $100, $100 would be considered a resistance level.
In Practice:
Support and resistance levels are used by traders to make decisions about buying and selling. If the price approaches support, traders may see it as a potential buying opportunity. If the price approaches resistance, they may consider selling or shorting the asset.
If price breaks through a support or resistance level, it can signal a significant price movement. For example, a price moving above resistance may indicate an uptrend, while a price falling below support could indicate a downtrend.
These levels are not always exact and may vary slightly, often being identified as areas rather than precise lines on a chart. They are key tools for understanding market psychology and price behavior.

CBDR Standard Deviation V2CBDR
Standard Deviation measures how far price statistically deviates from the central bank dealer range before institutional rebalancing occurs. CBDR defines fair value, while standard deviation highlights liquidity expansion zones. Moves into ±2 SD or beyond often signal stop-loss sweeps and inventory imbalance, where institutions favor mean reversion, not breakouts.
CBDR SD Core Checklist
□ Daily IPDA bias defined
□ Clean CBDR formed (Asia / early London)
□ CBDR high & low marked
□ ±1 and ±2 SD levels plotted
□ Liquidity sweep beyond CBDR
□ No high-impact news in session
CBDR SD Reversal Trade Checklist
□ Price taps ±2 SD or ±2.5 SD
□ Clear rejection (wick / displacement)
□ Entry against the expansion, not on breakout
□ Stop placed beyond liquidity extreme
□ TP1: CBDR boundary
□ TP2: CBDR midpoint (mean)
□ TP3 (optional): Opposite CBDR extreme
□ Invalidate if strong trend displacement continues
This reversal model captures institutional fade trades after liquidity is harvested, keeping execution statistical, disciplined, and prop-firm resilient.
Titan 6.1 Alpha Predator [Syntax Verified]Based on the code provided above, the Titan 6.1 Alpha Predator is a sophisticated algorithmic asset allocation system designed to run within TradingView. It functions as a complete dashboard that ranks a portfolio of 20 assets (e.g., crypto, stocks, forex) based on a dual-engine logic of Trend Following and Mean Reversion, enhanced by institutional-grade filters.Here is a breakdown of how it works:1. The Core Logic (Hybrid Engine)The indicator runs a daily "tournament" where every asset competes against every other asset in a pairwise analysis. It calculates two distinct scores for each asset and selects the higher of the two:Trend Score: Rewards assets with strong directional momentum (Bullish EMA Cross), high RSI, and rising ADX.Reversal Score: Rewards assets that are mathematically oversold (Low RSI) but are showing a "spark" of life (Positive Rate of Change) and high volume.2. Key FeaturesPairwise Ranking: Instead of looking at assets in isolation, it compares them directly (e.g., Is Bitcoin's trend stronger than Ethereum's?). This creates a relative strength ranking.Institutional Filters:Volume Pressure: It boosts the score of assets seeing volume >150% of their 20-day average, but only if the price is moving up.Volatility Check (ATR): It filters out "dead" assets (volatility < 1%) to prevent capital from getting stuck in sideways markets."Alpha Predator" Boosters:Consistency: Assets that have been green for at least 7 of the last 10 days receive a mathematically significant score boost.Market Shield: If more than 50% of the monitored assets are weak, the system automatically reduces allocation percentages, signaling you to hold more cash.3. Safety ProtocolsThe system includes strict rules to protect capital:Falling Knife Protection: If an asset is in Reversal mode (REV) but the price is still dropping (Red Candle), the allocation is forced to 0.0%.Trend Stop (Toxic Asset): If an asset closes below its 50-day EMA and has negative momentum, it is marked as SELL 🛑, and its allocation is set to zero.4. How to Read the DashboardThe indicator displays a table on your chart with the following signals:SignalMeaningActionTREND 🚀Strong BreakoutHigh conviction Buy. Fresh uptrend.TREND 📈Established TrendBuy/Hold. Steady uptrend.REV ✅Confirmed ReversalBuy the Dip. Price is oversold but turning Green today.REV ⚠️Falling KnifeDo Not Buy.

DERYA Dynamic Efficiency Regime Yield AnalyzerDERYA: Dynamic Efficiency Regime Yield Analyzer
Mathematical Concept and Problem Statement
Most traditional trend and momentum indicators (e.g., RSI, ADX, MACD) focus on price displacement across a series of bars. However, they are mathematically "blind" to the internal structure of each individual bar. The DERYA indicator solves the "Velocity Trap" and "Lagging Confirmation" issues by shifting the measurement space from price displacement to intrabar efficiency. It quantifies the ratio between net price progress and the total effort (range) expended within the bar.
Logic and Components
The script does not reuse any existing open-source library logic; the methodology is derived from original research. However, it utilizes standard built-in Pine Script functions for structural stabilization:
Efficiency Metaphor: The core logic calculates a proxy for microstructural health using the formula |Close - Close | / (High - Low).
Use of Exponential Moving Average (EMA): A standard ta.ema is applied to the raw efficiency data. Reason for use: Raw microstructural data is inherently noisy due to high-frequency fluctuations. The EMA is used here specifically as a low-pass filter to extract the underlying structural trend of efficiency without the overhead of more complex digital filters.
Use of Min-Max Normalization: The script utilizes ta.highest and ta.lowest over a lookback period. Reason for use: To convert an absolute efficiency metric into a bounded state variable (0-100). This ensures the indicator is adaptive to different volatility regimes, preventing the signal from becoming obsolete as market conditions change.
Interpretation
Expansion Regime (>60): Indicates a high-efficiency environment where price movement is achieved with minimal internal friction.
Collapse Regime (<40): Indicates a structural deterioration where price effort (range) significantly outweighs price progress (displacement), often signaling an imminent trend break.
Visual Integration: The script includes a barcolor feature that highlights bars where DERYA falls below 30, visually flagging points of extreme structural inefficiency directly on the price chart.
Compliance Note
This script is an original implementation of the DERYA methodology. It does not contain "copy-pasted" code from other public indicators. Standard functions (ta.ema, ta.highest, ta.lowest) are used only for their intended mathematical smoothing and normalization purposes as described above.

Laguerre Timeframe OscillatorLaguerre Timeframe Breadth Oscillator
Multi-timeframe × multi-gamma Laguerre breadth model
────────────────────────
Usage Notes
────────────────────────
• This is a regime & consensus indicator, not a trigger
• Best used for trend validation and risk filtering
• Extreme values tend to persist during strong regimes
This indicator answers a single question:
“Out of 198 independent Laguerre filters, how many are currently rising?”
────────────────────────
Concept
────────────────────────
Using Laguerre polynomials, we aggregate price behavior across:
• 11 explicit timeframes (1-minute → 1-day)
• 18 gamma responsiveness levels (0.10 → 0.95)
This produces 198 independent Laguerre curves.
The final oscillator is NOT price.
It represents a directional consensus across timescales and smoothing sensitivities.
────────────────────────
Laguerre Filter Mathematics
────────────────────────
For each Laguerre line i:
L0ᵢ(t) = (1 − γᵢ) · x(t) + γᵢ · L0ᵢ(t−1)
L1ᵢ(t) = −γᵢ · L0ᵢ(t) + L0ᵢ(t−1) + γᵢ · L1ᵢ(t−1)
L2ᵢ(t) = −γᵢ · L1ᵢ(t) + L1ᵢ(t−1) + γᵢ · L2ᵢ(t−1)
L3ᵢ(t) = −γᵢ · L2ᵢ(t) + L2ᵢ(t−1) + γᵢ · L3ᵢ(t−1)
Smoothed output:
Yᵢ(t) = ( L0ᵢ + 2·L1ᵢ + 2·L2ᵢ + L3ᵢ ) / 6
This weighted sum smooths noise while preserving phase better than a traditional EMA.
────────────────────────
Gamma Responsiveness
────────────────────────
Gamma controls responsiveness vs stability:
0.10 — Very fast, noisy
0.40 — Momentum-sensitive
0.70 — Trend-stable
0.95 — Very slow, structural
Each timeframe is evaluated across all gamma levels.
────────────────────────
Timeframes Used (11)
────────────────────────
Minutes: 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 30, 45
Hours: 1, 2, 4
Days: 1
────────────────────────
Direction Test
────────────────────────
Each Laguerre line votes “up” or “down”:
Iᵢ(t) = 1 if Yᵢ(t) > Yᵢ(t−1)
Iᵢ(t) = 0 otherwise
────────────────────────
Breadth Calculation
────────────────────────
greenCount(t) =
I₁(t) + I₂(t) + I₃(t) + … + I₁₉₈(t)
Total number of rising Laguerre filters.
────────────────────────
Centered Breadth Oscillator
────────────────────────
oscRaw(t) = greenCount(t) − 99
(99 = half of 198; zero represents balanced breadth)
────────────────────────
Smoothing & Amplification
────────────────────────
EMA smoothing:
oscSmooth(t) = EMA₁₀₀(oscRaw)
Extreme emphasis:
oscExtreme(t) = 2 · oscSmooth(t)
────────────────────────
Clamped Final Output
────────────────────────
osc(t) = max( −99 , min( 99 , oscExtreme(t) ) )
Range:
• −99 → all filters falling
• 0 → mixed / neutral
• +99 → all filters rising
────────────────────────
Optional Probabilistic Interpretation
────────────────────────
p(t) = greenCount(t) / 198
Interpretable as the probability of upward directional alignment.

VWAP Gravity Oscillator (VGO) (Intraday Only)VWAP Gravity Oscillator (VGO)
The VWAP Gravity Oscillator (VGO) is an intraday analytical indicator designed to quantify price displacement from VWAP and the rate of change of that displacement.
The indicator models VWAP as a statistical equilibrium level and evaluates:
Price deviation from VWAP (Delta)
Momentum and acceleration of that deviation via MACD
This framework enables assessment of trend persistence versus mean-reversion pressure in intraday price action.
Methodology
VWAP Delta
Measures the signed distance between price and VWAP, representing directional bias relative to equilibrium.
MACD on Delta
Captures the first- and second-order dynamics of VWAP deviation, highlighting acceleration, deceleration, and potential inflection points.
Zero Line
Represents price–VWAP equilibrium. Crossings may indicate regime transitions.
Interpretation Guidelines
Positive Delta
Price is trading above VWAP with positive directional bias.
Negative Delta
Price is trading below VWAP with negative directional bias.
Increasing MACD
Expansion of VWAP deviation (trend reinforcement).
Decreasing or reversing MACD
Contraction of VWAP deviation (mean-reversion risk).
Intended Applications
Intraday trend validation
Early detection of trend exhaustion
Mean-reversion risk assessment
Filtering low-conviction or balanced market conditions
Implementation Notes
Designed exclusively for intraday timeframes
Automatically suppressed on higher-timeframe charts
Intended as a contextual analysis tool, not a standalone signal generator
Conceptual Summary
VGO evaluates whether price is diverging from, stabilising around, or reverting toward VWAP by analysing both displacement and its rate of change.
Breakout Alert Pro + VWAPAdvanced breakout/breakdown indicator featuring multi-pattern detection, quality tier scoring (S/A/B/C), strength analysis (0-10), VWAP integration, multi-timeframe filters, and adaptive R-based take-profit/stop-loss framework. Includes comprehensive dashboard with real-time metrics and market regime detection.
World sessionsThe indicator highlights trading sessions of major global exchanges (Tokyo, Hong Kong, Frankfurt, London, New York, Chicago).
It highlights them with horizontal dashed lines from the start to the end of each session. At the session start, it draws a label with the exchange name above the bar, with adjustable height based on ATR.
