Trend Break Targets [MarkitTick]Trend Break Targets
Trend Break Targets is a technical analysis tool designed to assist traders in identifying trendline breakouts and projecting potential price targets based on market geometry. Unlike fully automated indicators that guess trendlines, this tool provides you with precise control by allowing you to manually Pivot Point the trendline to specific points in time, while automating the complex math of target projection and structure mapping.
Theoretical Basis & Concepts
This indicator is grounded in classic technical analysis principles found in foundational trading literature. It automates the following methodology:
Drawing a trend line between two key points to represent dynamic support or resistance.
Identifying a breakout when the price closes above or below this line, potentially signaling a change in trend.
Calculating a price target by measuring the vertical distance between the breakout line and the last high/low (pivot), then projecting that same distance in the direction of the breakout.
This concept is based on methods and "Measured Move" theories explained in classic books such as "Technical Analysis of Stock Trends" by Edwards & Magee, "Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets" by John Murphy, and in Thomas Bulkowski's Price Pattern Studies.
How It Works
Pivot Pointed Trendline Construction The script draws a trendline between two user-defined points in time (Start Date and End Date). It calculates the slope between these points and extends the line infinitely to the right, allowing you to define the exact structure (e.g., a resistance trendline on a wedge).
Breakout Detection The script monitors the "Price Source" (High, Low, or Close) relative to the extended trendline.
A Bullish Breakout (BC) occurs when the Close crosses above a bearish trendline.
A Bearish Breakout (BC) occurs when the Close crosses below a bullish trendline.
Dynamic Target Projection (The Math) Upon a confirmed breakout, the script automatically calculates three distinct targets by identifying the most significant "Swing Point" (Pivot) prior to the breakout.
Distance (D): The vertical distance between the Trendline and the Pivot Price at the specific bar where the pivot occurred.
Target 1 (T1): The Breakout Price +/- (Distance × 1.0). This represents a classic 1:1 measured move.
Target 2 (T2): The Breakout Price +/- (Distance × 1.618). Based on the Golden Ratio extension.
Target 3 (T3): The Breakout Price +/- (Distance × 2.618).
Market Structure (CHOCH) The script includes an optional Change of Character (CHOCH) module. This runs independently of the trendline logic, identifying local Swing Highs and Swing Lows based on the "Swing Detection Length." It plots dashed lines and labels to visualize immediate shifts in market structure.
How to Use This Tool
This is an interactive tool that requires user input to define the setup.
Identify a Setup: Locate a clear trend, wedge, or flag pattern on your chart.
Set Pivot Points: Go to the Indicator Settings. Input the exact Start Date and End Date corresponding to the two main touches of your trendline.
Monitor for Breakout: The script will extend the line. Wait for a "BC" label to appear.
Trade Management: Once "BC" prints, the T1, T2, and T3 lines will instantly render. These can be used as potential take-profit zones or areas to tighten stop-losses.

Gold Bullish Reversal
This analysis dissects a confirmed bullish reversal on Gold using a custom Trend Break system. The setup identifies a transition from a bearish corrective phase to bullish momentum, validated by a structural break and a geometric target projection.
Trend Identification (The Pivot Points) The descending white trendline serves as the primary dynamic resistance, defining the bearish correction.
Pivot Points: The line is drawn connecting two significant swing highs, marked by Label 1 and Label 2.
Logic: These points represent the "lower highs" characteristic of the previous downtrend. As long as price remained below this trajectory, the bearish bias was intact.
The Trigger: Breakout & Confirmation The transition occurs at the candle marked BC (Breakout Candle).
Breakout Criteria: The indicator logic dictates that a signal is only valid when the bar closes above the trendline. This filters out intraday wicks and ensures genuine buyer commitment.
CHOCH Confluence: Immediately following the breakout, a CHOCH (Change of Character) label appears. This signals a shift in market structure, indicating that the internal lower-high/lower-low sequence has been violated, adding probability to the reversal.
Target Projection: The Measured Move The vertical green lines (T1, T2) represent profit objectives derived from the depth of the prior move. The logic calculates the distance between the breakout line and the lowest pivot prior to the break.
T1 (Standard Target): This is a 1:1 projection of the pre-breakout volatility. We see price action initially stalling near this level, confirming it as a zone of interest.
T2 (Golden Ratio Extension): The second target is calculated as the initial distance multiplied by 1.618 (Fibonacci Golden Ratio). The chart shows the price rallying aggressively through T1 to tap the T2 zone, often considered an exhaustion or major take-profit level in harmonic extensions.
Conclusion Gold has successfully invalidated the 4-hour bearish trendline. The confluence of a confirmed close above resistance (BC) and a structural shift (CHOCH) provided a high-probability long setup. The price has now fulfilled the T2 (1.618) extension, suggesting traders should watch for consolidation or a reaction at this key Fibonacci resistance level.
Bearish Trendline Breakdown
The image displays a Bearish Trendline Breakdown on the Gold (XAUUSD) 4-hour chart. The indicator is actually functioning in "Low" mode here (connecting swing lows to form support), which triggers the bearish logic found in the code. Here is the step-by-step breakdown:
The Setup: Pivot Points & Trendline
Visual: The Blue Labels "1" and "2" connected by a white diagonal line.
Code Logic: These are the user-defined start and end points.
Pivot Point 1 (startDate): The starting pivot of the trendline.
Pivot Point 2 (endDate): The ending pivot.
Trendline: The code draws a line between these two points and extends it to the right (extend.right). In this specific image, the line acts as a Support Trendline.
The Trigger: Break Candle (BC)
Visual: The Red Label "BC" appearing just below the white trendline.
Code Logic: This is the execution signal. The code detects a "Down Break" (dnBreak) because the Price Source was likely set to "Low" and the candle's Close was lower than the Trendline Price at that specific bar (close < currLinePrice). This confirms the support level has been breached.
The Projection: Targets (T1 & T2)
Visual: The Green Labels "T1" and "T2" with dotted horizontal lines projected downward.
Code Logic: These are profit targets based on a "Measured Move."
Pivot Calculation: The script looks back for a recent "Pivot High" (the peak before the crash) to calculate the volatility/distance (dist) between that peak and the trendline.
T1 (Conservative): The price is projected downward by 1x that distance (currLinePrice - dist).
T2 (Extended): The price is projected downward by 1.618x that distance (Golden Ratio extension).
Market Context: CHOCH
Visual: The small Red/Orange "CHOCH" labels appearing above the price action.
Code Logic: This is a secondary confirmation system running independently of the trendline. It detects a Change of Character (structural shift). The red labels indicate a "Bearish CHOCH," meaning the price broke below a significant prior swing low (last_swing_low). This supports the bearish bias of the trendline break.
Disclaimer This tool is for educational and technical analysis purposes only. Breakouts can fail (fake-outs), and past geometric patterns do not guarantee future price action. Always manage risk and use this tool in conjunction with other forms of analysis.

Star V12⭐ Star Engine — Multi-Component, Multi-Timeframe Trade Execution System
The Star Engine is a stateful trade execution and analytics system designed to transform indicator confluence into structured, measurable trade runs. Rather than producing isolated buy/sell signals, the engine decomposes market behavior into pressure, confirmation, event grouping, and trade lifecycle management. Each component plays a specific role, and no single component is sufficient on its own. Below is a detailed breakdown of each subsystem and why it exists.
💣 Bomb Engine — Directional Pressure Measurement
The Bomb Engine is responsible for identifying directional pressure in the market. It evaluates whether price action exhibits sustained momentum in one direction, independent of whether that direction is immediately tradable.
What Bomb Uses
Bomb aggregates momentum- and trend-oriented inputs such as MACD-based momentum direction, momentum persistence and continuation logic, directional bias filters, and impulse strength evaluation. All inputs are evaluated across multiple timeframes, with each timeframe contributing independently.
How Bomb Works
Each timeframe produces a directional contribution (bullish, bearish, or neutral). Contributions are aggregated into a net Bomb total. The total is mapped into discrete tone buckets (blue, green, red, black, etc.). Higher totals indicate stronger directional dominance.
What Bomb Tells You
Bomb answers one question: Is there directional pressure building or persisting? It does not determine entry timing, exhaustion, or trade quality. Bomb is context, not execution. This allows Bomb to be early without being responsible for precision.
✨ Golden Engine — Structural Confirmation & Regime Filtering
The Golden Engine evaluates whether the directional pressure detected by Bomb is structurally supported. Golden exists to prevent entries during momentum exhaustion, conflicting timeframe regimes, and counter-structure moves.
What Golden Uses
Golden relies on a different indicator stack than Bomb, focused on confirmation and balance, including RSI regime classification (not simple overbought/oversold), momentum agreement vs divergence, trend-following vs counter-trend positioning, overextension detection, and compression and rotational behavior. Each timeframe is evaluated independently using the same logic.
The Role of RSI in Golden
RSI in Golden is used to identify regimes, not signals. It answers questions such as: Is momentum expanding or decaying? Is the move early, mid-structure, or extended? Do multiple timeframes share compatible RSI states? If RSI regimes conflict across timeframes, Golden will not confirm. This is one of the main mechanisms that makes Golden selective.
Momentum & Alignment Logic
Golden evaluates whether momentum supports continuation, is fragmenting, is diverging from price, or is contradicting higher-timeframe structure. If lower-timeframe impulses are not supported by higher-timeframe structure, Golden suppresses confirmation — even if Bomb remains strong.
What Golden Guarantees
Golden does not guarantee profitable trades. Golden guarantees that the detected directional pressure is not internally contradictory across RSI regimes, momentum behavior, and timeframe structure. This replaces vague terms like “clean” with explicit structural conditions.
🔗 Multi-Timeframe Aggregation (MTF)
Both Bomb and Golden operate on a multi-timeframe voting system. Lower timeframes capture early impulses, higher timeframes enforce structural context, each timeframe votes independently, conflicts weaken totals, and alignment strengthens totals. This creates temporal confluence, not just price-based confluence.
⭐ Star Events — Qualified Market Impulses
A Star (⭐) is created only when Bomb is active, Golden is active, both agree on direction, and all gating rules pass (thresholds, time filters, modes). A Star represents a qualified impulse, not a trade. Stars are atomic events used by the execution layer.
⏱ Star Clusters — Trade Run State
The Star Cluster groups Stars into runs. The first Star starts a cluster, anchor price, bar, and time are recorded, each additional Star increments the cluster count, and all Stars belong to the same run until exit. This prevents duplicate entries, signal spam, and overtrading in volatile conditions.
⛔ Reset Gap Logic — Temporal Control
To prevent rapid re-entry, a minimum time gap is required to start a new run. Stars occurring too close together are merged. Reset does not terminate active runs. This enforces time-based discipline, not indicator-based guessing.
1➡️ Entry Logic — Confirmation-Based Execution
The engine never enters on the first Star. Instead, the user defines 🔢 N (Entry Star Index). Entry occurs only on the Nth Star, and that bar is marked 1➡️🔢N. This ensures entries occur after persistence, not detection. At ENTRY, Best = 0.00 and Worst = 0.00. Statistics measure real trade performance, not early signal noise.
📊 STAT Engine — Live Trade Measurement
Once entry is active, the STAT engine tracks ⏱ run progression, 🏅 maximum favorable excursion, and 📉 maximum adverse excursion. Mechanics: uses highs and lows, not closes; updates every bar; entry bar resets stats; historical bars marked 🎨. This creates an objective performance envelope for every trade.
🛑 Exit Engine — Deterministic Outcomes
Trades are exited using explicit rules: 🏅 WIN → profit threshold reached, 📉 LOSE → risk threshold breached, ⏱ QUIT → structural or safety exit.
Safety Exits
🐢 Idle Stop — no Stars for N bars.
🧯 Freeze Failsafe — STAT inactivity.
QUIT is a controlled termination, not failure. Each exit is recorded with a short cause tag.
🧾 Trade Memory & Journaling
Every trade produces immutable records. Entry: time, price, side, confirmation index. Exit: time, price, PnL, result, cause. These records power tables, alerts, JSON output, and external automation.
📊 Time-Block Performance (NY Clock)
Performance is grouped by real time, not bar count. Rolling NY blocks (e.g. 3 hours). Independent statistics per block. Live trades persist across block boundaries. This enables session-based analysis.
🔔 Alerts & Automation
Alerts are state-based: Entry confirmed → Long / Short alert. Trade closed → Exit alert. Optional JSON output allows integration with bots, journals, and dashboards.
Summary
The Star Engine is a component-based trade execution system, where Bomb measures pressure, Golden validates structure, Stars qualify impulses, clusters define runs, entry is delayed by confirmation, stats measure reality, exits are deterministic, and results are time-aware. It is not designed to “predict the market”, but to control how trades are formed, managed, and evaluated.
Great Pyramid Harmonic Core Geometry V1 [QTI]Short Summary
Unlocking Ancient Market Geometry: This indicator maps critical support and resistance levels using the immutable geometric constants of the Great Pyramid of Giza, anchored to the Previous Day's High and Low (PDH/PDL).
Key Concepts & Philosophy:
This is not a standard Fibonacci tool. The Great Pyramid Harmonic Core Geometry system establishes a fixed, non-repainting structure based on the previous day’s range (PDL to PDH) and projects highly reliable levels derived from sacred geometry and ancient architecture.
The premise is that the forces driving market liquidity and price movement follow the same universal constants found in geometric perfection. We use these precise ratios—not arbitrary percentages—to define zones of high probability reversal and continuation.
The Harmonic Core (0.0 to 1.0):-
The range between the PDL (0%) and PDH (100%) is the trading day's energy core. Critical retracement levels within this core are projected using the following constants:
EQ (50%): The perfect geometric mean.
Kepler (61.8%) & Pi Inverse (31.8%): Classic Golden Mean and Pi-related support/resistance.
Isis (70.7%) & Osiris (29.3%): Derived from the square root of two ($\sqrt{2}$), relating to the cross-sectional area of the pyramid.
Horus (79.4%): A crucial level derived from the cube root of 0.5 ($\sqrt {0.5}$), often representing the center of volume mass or "Eye of Horus" apex.
KC Floor (25%): The King's Chamber floor height.
Thuban (57.7%): Derived from the space diagonal of a cube ($1/\sqrt{3}$).
The External Expansions (Beyond 1.0):-
These expansion targets are designed to predict extreme liquidity sweeps and continuation targets outside the core range:
Seqed Trap: 1.272, Pyramid Slope Tangent, A high-probability liquidity grab zone.
Isis Ext: 1.414, $\sqrt{2}$ Expansion, Standard diagonal extension target.
Phi Ext: 1.618, $\Phi$ (Golden Mean), Major expansion and trend exhaustion target.
Theban Ext: 1.732, $\sqrt{3}$ Expansion, The "Space Diagonal" of the liquidity cube.
Phi Squared: 2.618, $\Phi^2$, The second golden expansion, for high-level targets.
Pi Approx: 3.14, $\approx \pi$, The terminal geometric boundary and ultimate target ceiling.
Features & Customization:
1 - Dual Visualization Modes (Highly Recommended):
- Historical Trails: Shows light plots across the entire chart history for robust backtesting.
- Today's Structure (Recommended for Live Trading): Renders high-precision line and box objects that only persist for the current trading day, keeping the chart clean and focused on actionable levels.
2 - Full Customization: You can adjust the width, color, and visibility for every single level, line, box, and label across the Core, Apex, Base, and External Zones.
3 - Comprehensive Alerts: Includes 13 dedicated structural alerts for all major events:
- Breakouts/Breakdowns of PDH, PDL, and EQ.
- Entering/Exiting the Apex (Short) and Base (Long) structural zones.
- Hitting the high-level Phi Squared (2.618) and Pi Approx (3.14) extreme targets.
Usage Notes (Strategic Realism)
- Best Used On: Intraday timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m) for surgical entries and exits.
- Anchor: Levels are fixed until the start of the next daily session, providing reliable, non-repainting structure for the entire day.
- Overlay: Set overlay = true to display levels directly on your price candles.

Trend Vector Pro v2.0Trend Vector Pro v2.0
👨💻 Developed by: Mohammed Bedaiwi
💡 Strategy Overview & Coherence
Trend Vector Pro (TVPro) is a momentum-based trend & reversal strategy that uses a custom smoothed oscillator, an optional ADX filter, and classic Pivot Points to create a single, coherent trading framework.
Instead of stacking random indicators, TVPro is built around these integrated components:
A custom momentum engine (signal generation)
An optional ADX filter (trend quality control)
Daily Pivot Points (context, targets & S/R)
Swing-based “Golden Bar” trailing stops (trade management)
Optional extended bar detection (overextension alerts)
All parts are designed to work together and are documented below to address originality & usefulness requirements.
🔍 Core Components & Justification
1. Custom Momentum Engine (Main Signal Source)
TVPro’s engine is a custom oscillator derived from the bar midpoint ( hl2 ), similar in spirit to the Awesome Oscillator but adapted and fully integrated into the strategy. It measures velocity and acceleration of price, letting the script distinguish between strong impulses, weakening trends, and pure noise.
2. ADX Filter (Trend Strength Validation – Optional)
Uses Average Directional Index (ADX) as a gatekeeper.
Why this matters: This prevents the strategy from firing signals in choppy, non-trending environments (when ADX is below the threshold) and keeps trades focused on periods of clear directional strength.
3. Classic Pivot Points (Context & Targets)
Calculates Daily Pivot Points ( PP, R1-R3, S1-S3 ) via request.security() using prior session data.
Why this matters: Momentum gives the signal, ADX validates the environment, and Pivots add external structure for risk and target planning. This is a designed interaction, not a random mashup.
🧭 Trend State Logic (5-State Bar Coloring)
The strategy uses the momentum's value + slope to define five states, turning the chart into a visual momentum map:
🟢 STRONG BULL (Bright Green): Momentum accelerating UP. → Strong upside impulse.
🌲 WEAK BULL (Dark Green): Momentum decelerating DOWN (while positive). → Pullback/pause zone.
🔴 STRONG BEAR (Bright Red): Momentum accelerating DOWN. → Strong downside impulse.
🍷 WEAK BEAR (Dark Red): Momentum decelerating UP (while negative). → Rally/short-covering zone.
🔵 NEUTRAL / CHOP (Cyan): Momentum is near zero (based on noise threshold). → Consolidation / low volatility.
🎯 Signal Logic Modes
TVPro provides two selectable entry styles, controlled by input:
Reversals Only (Cleaner Mode – Default): Targets trend flips. Entry triggers when the current state is Bullish (or Bearish) and the previous state was not. This reduces noise and over-trading.
All Strong Pulses (Aggressive Mode): Targets acceleration phases. Entry triggers when the bar turns to STRONG BULL or STRONG BEAR after any other state. This mode produces more trades.
📌 Risk Management Tools
🟡 Golden Bars – Trailing Stops: Yellow “Trail” Arrows mark confirmed Swing Highs/Lows. These are used as logical trailing stop levels based on market structure.
Extended Bars: Detects when price closes outside a 2-standard-deviation channel, flagging overextension where a pullback is more likely.
Pivot Points: Used as external targets for Take Profit and structural stop placement.
⚙️ Strategy Defaults (Crucial for Publication Compliance)
To keep backtest results realistic and in line with House Rules, TVPro is published with the following fixed default settings:
Order Size: 5% of equity per trade ( default_qty_value = 5 )
Commission: 0.04% per order ( commission_value = 0.04 )
Slippage: 2 ticks ( slippage = 2 )
Initial Capital: 10,000
📘 How to Trade with Trend Vector Pro
Entry: Take Long when a Long signal appears and confirm the bar is Green (Bull state). Short for Red (Bear state).
Stop Loss: Place the initial SL near the latest swing High/Low, or near a relevant Pivot level.
Trade Management: Follow Golden (Trail) Arrows to trail your stop behind structure.
Exits: Exit when: the trailing stop is hit, Price reaches a major Pivot level, or an opposite signal prints.

Smart Divergence Engine [ChartNation]SMART DIVERGENCE ENGINE — REPAINTING-PROOF RSI DIVERGENCE WITH EXHAUSTION CONFIRMATION
═══════════════════════════════════════════
Smart Divergence Engine solves three critical problems that plague free RSI divergence indicators:
PROBLEM 1: REPAINTING DIVERGENCES
Most divergence scripts detect divergence in real-time as bars form. This causes signals to appear, disappear, and reappear unpredictably—making them unusable for alerts or systematic trading.
OUR SOLUTION: Pivot-Locked Detection
Smart Divergence Engine evaluates RSI at the exact bar where price structure confirms (rsi ), not at the current bar. Once a divergence prints, it NEVER disappears. This is implemented via:
Full swing confirmation (Pivot Left + Pivot Right bars must complete)
RSI evaluation at historical bar: rsi , not rsi
Divergence triggers AFTER structure lock, not during formation
Technical implementation: The script stores RSI values at confirmed pivot bars using var floats (lowRsiPrev, lowRsiCurr, highRsiPrev, highRsiCurr), then compares these locked values when new pivots confirm. This prevents any possibility of historical repaint.
PROBLEM 2: FALSE POSITIVE OVERLOAD
Divergence scripts trigger on ANY price-RSI mismatch, flooding charts with weak signals during choppy conditions. No filtering means traders must manually screen out noise.
OUR SOLUTION: Shark Fin Exhaustion Filter
Before any divergence can be considered actionable, Smart Divergence Engine requires RSI to demonstrate genuine momentum exhaustion through our proprietary "Shark Fin" detection:
Shark Fin Logic (Not Found in Free Scripts):
RSI must pierce the outer volatility band by a configurable buffer (default 1.5 RSI points)
RSI must re-enter the band with directional confirmation (positive slope for bullish, negative slope for bearish)
Band width must exceed minimum standard deviation threshold (volatility qualification)
Cooldown period enforced (default 25 bars) to prevent signal clustering
This multi-condition filter dramatically reduces false divergences by requiring RSI to physically demonstrate exhaustion BEFORE structure confirmation matters.
Technical implementation: The Shark Fin state machine uses boolean flags (bullFinForming, bearFinForming) to track when RSI is stretched beyond bands, then validates re-entry using ta.crossover(rsi, lower) / ta.crossunder(rsi, upper) with slope checks (ta.change(rsi) > 0 / < 0) and volatility gates (dev >= finMinDev).
PROBLEM 3: NO VOLATILITY CONTEXT
Divergence scripts use fixed RSI levels (30/70 or similar) that fail to adapt to changing market conditions. What's "overbought" in a low-volatility regime differs drastically from high-volatility conditions.
OUR SOLUTION: Adaptive Volatility Bands
Smart Divergence Engine calculates dynamic overbought/oversold zones using:
34-period SMA of RSI as basis
1.618 standard deviation multiplier (golden ratio expansion)
Real-time band expansion/contraction based on RSI volatility
The bands provide three advantages:
Shark Fin events only qualify when RSI breaches ADAPTIVE thresholds, not arbitrary fixed levels
Band width (standard deviation) serves as volatility filter—narrow bands = low conviction moves get rejected
50-line midline provides regime context (above 50 = bullish bias, below 50 = bearish bias)
Technical implementation: basis = ta.sma(rsi, 34), dev = ta.stdev(rsi, 34), upper/lower = basis ± dev * 1.618. Shark Fin logic requires rsi < (lower - finBuffer) or rsi > (upper + finBuffer) to trigger, ensuring exhaustion is measured relative to CURRENT volatility, not historical constants.

Timing: Fires AFTER Pivot Right bars complete (delayed but stable)
Reliability: Never repaints (divergence locked at rsi )
═══════════════════════════════════════════
TRADING IMPLEMENTATION
═══════════════════════════════════════════
CONFLUENCE FRAMEWORK:
Highest-probability setups occur when three conditions align:
Bullish Setup:
Shark Fin confirms below lower band (exhaustion)
Bullish divergence prints at pivot (structure)
RSI reclaims 50 line (regime shift to bullish)
→ Entry consideration at next price structure (support, swing low)
Bearish Setup:
Shark Fin confirms above upper band (exhaustion)
Bearish divergence prints at pivot (structure)
RSI loses 50 line (regime shift to bearish)
→ Entry consideration at next price structure (resistance, swing high)
TREND CONTEXT:
Strong uptrends: Prioritize bullish divergence + lower band Shark Fins (buy dips)
Strong downtrends: Prioritize bearish divergence + upper band Shark Fins (sell rallies)
Range-bound markets: Use 50-line crossovers as additional confirmation filter
RISK MANAGEMENT:
Smart Divergence Engine provides CONTEXT, not entries:
Wait for price confirmation (engulfing candle, rejection wick, structure break)
Place stops below/above pivot structure that triggered divergence
Size positions based on distance to invalidation level
Divergence + Shark Fin = elevated probability, not certainty

PERFORMANCE & LIMITATIONS
═══════════════════════════════════════════
RESOURCE ALLOCATION:
max_lines_count: 500 (divergence + Shark Fin lines)
max_labels_count: 500 (divergence markers)
max_bars_back: 500 (historical pivot lookback)
Suitable for most timeframes; reduce limits if performance degrades on low-end devices
SIGNAL TIMING:
Divergences print AFTER Pivot Right bars complete. This is intentional:
Delayed signals are more reliable than real-time signals
Structure confirmation requires waiting for swing completion
Users demanding instant signals should use free real-time divergence indicators
Users demanding reliable signals that never disappear should use this
PANEL VS OVERLAY:
This is the panel version (overlay=false):
Renders in separate pane below price chart
RSI, bands, divergence lines, and Shark Fin fills appear in this pane
For price-chart annotations, use the companion overlay version (same logic, different rendering)
═══════════════════════════════════════════
This script implements proprietary methodology not available in regular community scripts:
REPAINTING-PROOF ARCHITECTURE
The pivot-locked detection system (rsi evaluation) is a non-trivial implementation that requires:
State management across bars using var variables
Historical RSI value storage at pivot confirmation
Divergence comparison between stored values (not current bar)
This architecture eliminates the #1 complaint with free divergence indicators: disappearing signals.
SHARK FIN EXHAUSTION LOGIC
The multi-condition state machine that validates momentum exhaustion is not found in free scripts:
Penetration threshold (buffer beyond band)
Directional slope confirmation on re-entry
Volatility gate (minimum standard deviation)
Cooldown enforcement (prevents clustering)
This filter layer was developed through extensive backtesting to reduce false divergences during choppy conditions.
ADAPTIVE VOLATILITY FRAMEWORK
The dynamic band system (34-SMA + 1.618σ) provides context-aware overbought/oversold detection:
Bands expand in volatile markets → signals adapt to conditions
Bands contract in ranging markets → tighter detection thresholds
50-line regime framework → directional bias context
This approach outperforms fixed-level systems (30/70) that ignore market context.
CONFLUENCE METHODOLOGY
The three-layer confirmation system (structure + exhaustion + volatility) was engineered to answer: "When is a divergence actually tradeable?" Free scripts detect divergence and stop there. Smart Divergence Engine asks: "Did RSI show exhaustion? Is volatility sufficient? Did structure confirm?"
This level of methodological depth—combined with repainting-proof architecture and professional-grade visual implementation—justifies closed-source protection and paid access.
═══════════════════════════════════════════
Smart Divergence Engine is engineered for traders who demand institutional-grade divergence detection without the noise, repainting, and false positives that plague free alternatives.
Access is restricted to maintain signal quality as methodology evolves.
宏观压力计 (Macro Stress Gauge)call on green, sell on red
the Red Line represents US Treasury Yield momentum (the cost of capital), and the Green Line represents US Dollar momentum (the global liquidity valve).
When both lines spike and break above the 50 midline, it means money is both expensive and scarce. This is the dangerous "Double Kill" moment. At this time, you should hold cash and strictly avoid high-valuation tech stocks.
Conversely, if both the Red and Green lines fall below 50—and the background turns green—that is the macro "Goldilocks Zone." This implies a loose Fed and a weakening Dollar, representing peak risk appetite. You should boldly buy high-beta growth stocks or crypto without worrying about a broad market correction.
The most common scenario is divergence (one up, one down)—for example, if the Red Line rises while the Green Line falls. This usually signals Sector Rotation rather than a crash. In this environment, capital often flows from Tech into Industrials or Commodities; you just need to follow the "Sector Radar" mentioned earlier to allocate into the strong sectors.
To summarize simply, just stare at the middle line: when both lines are above it, it’s "Red Light: Stop"; when both are below, it’s "Green Light: Go." Now, take a look at your screen—if the background hasn't turned red, you can proceed to use the sector tools to hunt for opportunities.

Sector Monitor✅ Custom Index Strength
Key Features:
Custom Indices: It mathematically combines stocks (like HDFC + ICICI + Kotak) to create a synthetic "Private Bank Index" that you can't find anywhere else. (Note all the stocks are Equal weighted)
Performance Tracking: Shows how much a sector has moved over 1 Day, 1 Week, 1 Month, etc.
RRG (Relative Rotation): A smart algorithm that tells you if a sector is leading the market or falling behind.
Understanding the "RRG" (Relative Rotation Graph)
This is the most powerful column in the table. It compares the sector against a benchmark (usually Nifty 500 EW) to tell you the "Health" of the trend.
It classifies every sector into one of four phases , similar to a clock cycle:
💚 Leading (Strong Trend): The sector is outperforming Nifty and momentum is strong. This is where the bulls are.
💛 Weakening (Taking a Breath): The sector is still strong, but it is starting to slow down. It might be time to book profits or wait.
❤️ Lagging (Weak Trend): The sector is underperforming. It is weak and losing money compared to the market. Avoid these.
💙 Improving (Waking Up): The sector was weak, but momentum is coming back. This is often where new trends start.
✅ RRG explained
Relative Strength (RS): how the sector is doing versus the benchmark today. RS = sector price divided by benchmark price.
Strength (X-axis): compare today’s RS with RS from (default 20) days ago . If today’s RS is higher than 20 days ago → Positive strength; lower → Negative.
Momentum (Y-axis): compare today’s RS with RS from (default 5) days ago . If today’s RS is higher than 5 days ago → Improving; lower → Worsening.
Numeric walk-through
Assume benchmark = 100 today, 95 (5D ago), 90 (20D ago).
Assume sector = 110 today, 100 (5D ago), 95 (20D ago).
RS today = 110 ÷ 100 = 1.10.
RS 5D ago = 100 ÷ 95 = 1.0526.
RS 20D ago = 95 ÷ 90 = 1.0556.
Strength (today vs 20D ago): RS moved from 1.0556 to 1.10 → about +4.2% → Positive.
Momentum (today vs 5D ago): RS moved from 1.0526 to 1.10 → about +4.5% → Improving.
Label: Positive + Improving = Leading.
Quick examples for each quadrant
(numbers are RS values; you can imagine each came from “sector ÷ benchmark”)
Leading (Positive & Improving)
RS(20D) 1.00 → RS(today) 1.10 ⇒ Strength +10% (Positive)
RS(5D) 1.05 → RS(today) 1.10 ⇒ Momentum +4.8% (Improving)
Weakening (Positive & Worsening)
RS(20D) 1.00 → RS(today) 1.08 ⇒ Strength +8% (Positive)
RS(5D) 1.12 → RS(today) 1.08 ⇒ Momentum −3.6% (Worsening)
Improving (Negative & Improving)
RS(20D) 1.05 → RS(today) 0.98 ⇒ Strength −6.7% (Negative)
RS(5D) 0.95 → RS(today) 0.98 ⇒ Momentum +3.2% (Improving)
Lagging (Negative & Worsening)
RS(20D) 1.00 → RS(today) 0.90 ⇒ Strength −10% (Negative)
RS(5D) 0.95 → RS(today) 0.90 ⇒ Momentum −5.3% (Worsening)
✅ 3. How to Use the Settings (Inputs)
When you open the settings menu, here is what each section controls:
Theme / Colors
Dark Mode: Check this if you use a dark background on Trading View.
Light Mode Theme: Choose between "Blue & Purple" or standard "Green & Red" for Up/Down colors.
RRG Settings
RRG Benchmark: What are we comparing our sectors to? usually, this is NIFTY 500 EW.
If Nifty is up 1% and your sector is up 2%, your sector is "Leading."
RS Period (Score): How far back do we look to check strength? (Default: 20). Lower numbers make it react faster; higher numbers make it smoother.
Momentum Lookback: How fast is the trend changing? (Default: 5).
Table Settings
Show Col 1 / 2 / 3: You can choose to see up to 3 timeframes plus the RRG column.
Timeframes (1D, 1W, 1M...): Set these to match your trading style.
Day Trader: Set Col 1 to 1D (1 Day) and Col 2 to 1W (1 Week).
Investor: Set Col 1 to 1M (1 Month) and Col 2 to 6M (6 Months).
Sort By: This is crucial. You can sort the table by "RRG" (to put the strongest sectors at the top) or by "Column 1" (to see today's biggest gainers).
Rows Shown: Limit the table to the "Top 10" or "Top 20" if the table is too big for your screen.
Symbol Selection
This is where the magic happens. The script comes pre-loaded with groups like "NBFC," "Housing Finance," etc.
Checkbox: Turn a specific sector ON or OFF in the table.
Input Box: You can actually edit the stocks!
Example: The input might look like NSE:TCS+NSE:INFY.
If you want to add Tech Mahindra, you simply add +NSE:TECHM to the text. The indicator will instantly recalculate the sector based on your new list.
✅ 4. Adjusting Inputs for Your Time Horizon
The logic is simple:
Lower Numbers: Make the indicator faster and more sensitive. It reacts quickly to price jumps but creates more "noise" (false signals).
Higher Numbers: Make the indicator slower and smoother. It filters out small corrections but reacts late to new trends.
Short-Term (Intraday / Fast Swing)
Recommended Inputs: Strength 10 | Momentum 3
Why: You need speed. By lowering the Strength to 10 days and Momentum to 3 days, the RRG will react instantly to sudden bursts of buying.
Best For: Catching "Micro-Rotations" (e.g., a sector suddenly waking up for a 2-3 day rally).
Trade-off: You will see sectors jump between "Leading" and "Weakening" very frequently.
Medium-Term (Standard Swing Trading)
Recommended Inputs: Strength 20 | Momentum 5 (Default)
Why: This is the "Goldilocks" zone. It ignores the daily noise but is fast enough to catch a trend that lasts for a few weeks.
Best For: Identifying the main theme of the current month.
Trade-off: Balanced. It might be slightly too slow for scalpers and slightly too fast for multi-year investors.
Long-Term (Position Investing)
Recommended Inputs: Strength 60 | Momentum 15
Why: A strength lookback of 60 (approx. 1 quarter) ensures you are only looking at major structural trends. A momentum of 15 ensures that a 2-day drop doesn't scare you out of a "Leading" sector.
Best For: Building a portfolio to hold for 6–12 months. If a sector is "Leading" here, it is in a massive bull run.

Fibonacci Zones and RejectionsThis tool combines swing structure, Fibonacci retracements and candle-wick rejection logic to highlight high-probability reversal or continuation zones.
What it does
Tracks market structure automatically
Detects swing highs and swing lows based on a user-defined Structure Period.
Marks bullish shifts in structure and bearish shifts with CHoCH labels and Break of Structure (BoS) lines.
Optionally draws a dotted swing trend line between the active swing high and swing low and can show price labels at those swing points.
Draws dynamic Fibonacci retracements on the latest swing
Automatically anchors a Fibonacci retracement between the current swing high and swing low.
Lets you enable/disable individual Fibonacci levels and customize their values, colors and line width.
Can extend Fib levels forward to the latest bar and optionally keep previous Fib structures on the chart for context.
Optionally fills the “Golden Zone” (by default the first two levels, e.g. 0.50 and 0.618) so the core pullback area is visually obvious.
Defines an OTE / “Gold Zone” band from the active Fib levels
Uses the first two Fib lines (by default 0.50 and 0.618 or set another zone such as 61.8% to 78.6%) to form a live “Optimal Trade Entry” band.
Continuously updates this band as new structure forms and swings develop.
Detects rejection candles inside the Fib OTE band
Breaks each candle into upper wick, lower wick, body and total range.
A bullish rejection is a candle where:
Price trades into the OTE band,
The lower wick is a large portion of the bar’s range, and
The body is not tiny (minimum body-to-range ratio is configurable).
A bearish rejection is the mirror condition using the upper wick.
Only candles whose range overlaps the OTE band are considered; this filters for true reactions to the Fib zone.
Plots clear signals and alerts
Bullish OTE rejection is plotted as a large cross at the low of the candle.
Bearish OTE rejection is plotted as a large cross at the high of the candle.
Built-in alertcondition calls allow you to set alerts for:
Bullish OTE Rejection
Bearish OTE Rejection
Optional “debug” markers can show all raw rejection candles and all bars that sit inside the OTE band, to help you understand how the logic behaves.
Use cases
Identify pullback entries into the desired Fib zone after a clear structural move.
Confirm reversals or continuations using wick-based rejection inside a pre-defined Fib discount/premium zone.
Combine with your own higher-timeframe bias or ICT / SMC tools to refine entry timing around key levels.
VMDM - Volume, Momentum & Divergence Master [BullByte]VMDM - Volume, Momentum and Divergence Master
Educational Multi-Layer Market Structure Analysis System
Multi-factor divergence engine that scores RSI momentum, volume pressure, and institutional footprints into one non-repainting confluence rating (0-100).
WHAT THIS INDICATOR IS
VMDM is an educational indicator designed to teach traders how to recognize high-probability reversal and continuation patterns by analyzing four independent market dimensions simultaneously. Instead of relying on a single indicator that may produce frequent false signals, VMDM creates a confluence-based scoring system that weights multiple confirmation factors, helping you understand which setups have stronger technical backing and which are lower quality.
This is NOT a trading system or signal generator. It is a learning tool that visualizes complex market structure concepts in an accessible format for both coders and non-coders.
THE PROBLEM IT SOLVES
Most traders face these common challenges:
Challenge 1 - Indicator Overload: Running RSI, volume analysis, and divergence detection separately creates chart clutter and conflicting signals. You waste time cross-referencing multiple windows trying to determine if all factors align.
Challenge 2 - False Divergences: Standard divergence indicators trigger on every minor pivot, creating noise. Many divergences fail because they lack supporting evidence from volume or market structure.
Challenge 3 - Missed Context: A bullish RSI divergence means nothing if it occurs during weak volume or in the middle of strong distribution. Context determines quality.
Challenge 4 - Repainting Confusion: Many divergence scripts repaint, showing perfect historical signals that never actually triggered in real-time, leading to false confidence.
Challenge 5 - Institutional Pattern Recognition: Absorption zones, stop hunts, and exhaustion patterns are taught in trading education but difficult to identify systematically without manual analysis.
VMDM addresses all five challenges by combining complementary analytical layers into one transparent, non-repainting, confluence-weighted system with visual clarity.
WHY THIS SPECIFIC COMBINATION - MASHUP JUSTIFICATION
This indicator is NOT a random mashup of popular indicators. Each of the four layers serves a specific analytical purpose and together they create a complete market structure assessment framework.
THE FOUR ANALYTICAL LAYERS
LAYER 1 - RSI MOMENTUM DIVERGENCE (Trend Exhaustion Detection)
Purpose: Identifies when price momentum is weakening before price itself reverses.
Why RSI: The Relative Strength Index measures momentum on a bounded 0-100 scale, making divergence detection mathematically consistent across all assets and timeframes. Unlike raw price oscillators, RSI normalizes momentum regardless of volatility regime.
How It Contributes: Divergence between price pivots and RSI pivots reveals early momentum exhaustion. A lower price low with a higher RSI low (bullish regular divergence) signals sellers are losing strength even as price makes new lows. This is the PRIMARY signal generator in VMDM.
Limitation If Used Alone: RSI divergence by itself produces many false signals because momentum can remain weak during continued trends. It needs confirmation from volume and structural evidence.
LAYER 2 - VOLUME PRESSURE ANALYSIS (Buying vs Selling Intensity)
Purpose: Quantifies whether the current bar's volume reflects buying pressure or selling pressure based on where price closed within the bar's range.
Methodology: Instead of just measuring volume size, VMDM calculates WHERE in the bar range the close occurred. A close near the high on high volume indicates strong buying absorption. A close near the low indicates selling pressure. The calculation accounts for wick size (wicks reduce pressure quality) and uses percentile ranking over a lookback period to normalize pressure strength on a 0-100 scale.
Formula Concept:
Buy Pressure = Volume × (Close - Low) / (High - Low) × Wick Quality Factor
Sell Pressure = Volume × (High - Close) / (High - Low) × Wick Quality Factor
Net Pressure = Buy Pressure - Sell Pressure
Pressure Strength = Percentile Rank of Net Pressure over lookback period
Why Percentile Ranking: Absolute volume varies by asset and session. Percentile ranking makes 85th percentile pressure on low-volume crypto comparable to 85th percentile pressure on high-volume forex.
How It Contributes: When a bullish divergence occurs at a pivot low AND pressure strength is above 60 (strong buying), this adds 25 confluence points. It confirms that the divergence is occurring during actual accumulation, not just weak selling.
Limitation If Used Alone: Pressure analysis shows current bar intensity but cannot identify trend exhaustion or reversal timing. High buying pressure can exist during a strong uptrend with no reversal imminent.
LAYER 3 - BEHAVIORAL FOOTPRINT PATTERNS (Volume Anomaly Detection)
CRITICAL DISCLAIMER: The terms "institutional footprint," "absorption," "stop hunt," and "exhaustion" used in this indicator are EDUCATIONAL LABELS for specific price and volume behavioral patterns. These patterns are detected through technical analysis of publicly available price, volume, and bar structure data. This indicator does NOT have access to actual institutional order flow, market maker data, broker stop-loss locations, or any non-public data source. These pattern names are used because they are common terminology in trading education to describe these technical behaviors. The analysis is interpretive and based on observable price action, not privileged information.
Purpose: Detect volume anomalies and price patterns that historically correlate with potential reversal zones or trend continuation failure.
Pattern Type 1 - Absorption (Labeled as "ACCUMULATION" or "DISTRIBUTION")
Detection Criteria: Volume is more than 2x the moving average AND bar range is less than 50 percent of the average bar range.
Interpretation: High volume compressed into a tight range suggests large participants are absorbing supply (accumulation) or distribution (distribution) without allowing price to move significantly. This often precedes directional moves once absorption completes.
Visual: Colored box zone highlighting the absorption area.
Pattern Type 2 - Stop Hunt (Labeled as "BULL HUNT" or "BEAR HUNT")
Detection Criteria: Price penetrates a recent 10-bar high or low by a small margin (0.2 percent), then closes back inside the range on above-average volume (1.5x+).
Interpretation: Price briefly spikes beyond recent structure (likely triggering stop losses placed just beyond obvious levels) then reverses. This is a classic false breakout pattern often seen before reversals.
Visual: Label at the wick extreme showing hunt direction.
Pattern Type 3 - Exhaustion (Labeled as "SELL EXHAUST" or "BUY EXHAUST")
Detection Criteria: Lower wick is more than 2.5x the body size with volume above 1.8x average and RSI below 35 (sell exhaustion), OR upper wick more than 2.5x body size with volume above 1.8x average and RSI above 65 (buy exhaustion).
Interpretation: Large wicks with high volume and extreme RSI suggest aggressive buying or selling was met with equally aggressive rejection. This exhaustion often marks short-term extremes.
Visual: Label showing exhaustion type.
How These Contribute: When a divergence forms at a pivot AND one of these behavioral patterns is active, the confluence score increases by 20 points. This confirms the divergence is occurring during structural anomaly activity, not just normal price flow.
Limitation If Used Alone: These patterns can occur mid-trend and do not indicate direction without momentum context. Absorption in a strong uptrend may just be continuation accumulation.
LAYER 4 - CONFLUENCE SCORING MATRIX (Quality Weighting System)
Purpose: Translate all detected conditions into a single 0-100 quality score so you can objectively compare setups.
Scoring Breakdown:
Divergence Present: +30 points (primary signal)
Pressure Confirmation: +25 points (volume supports direction)
Behavioral Footprint Active: +20 points (structural anomaly present)
RSI Extreme: +15 points (RSI below 30 or above 70 at pivot)
Volume Spike: +10 points (current volume above 1.5x average)
Maximum Possible Score: 100 points
Why These Weights: The weights reflect reliability hierarchy based on backtesting observation. Divergence is the core signal (30 points), but without volume confirmation (25 points) many fail. Behavioral patterns add meaningful context (20 points). RSI extremes and volume spikes are secondary confirmations (15 and 10 points).
Quality Tiers:
90-100: TEXTBOOK (all factors aligned)
75-89: HIGH QUALITY (strong confluence)
60-74: VALID (meets minimum threshold)
Below 60: DEVELOPING (not displayed unless threshold lowered)
How It Contributes: The confluence score allows you to filter noise. You can set your minimum quality threshold in settings. Higher thresholds (75+) show fewer but higher-quality patterns. Lower thresholds (50-60) show more patterns but include lower-confidence setups. This teaches you to distinguish strong setups from weak ones.
Limitation: Confluence scoring is historical observation-based, not predictive guarantee. A 95-point setup can still fail. The score represents technical alignment, not future certainty.
WHY THIS COMBINATION WORKS TOGETHER
Each layer addresses a limitation in the others:
RSI Divergence identifies WHEN momentum is exhausting (timing)
Volume Pressure confirms WHETHER the exhaustion is accompanied by opposite-side accumulation (confirmation)
Behavioral Footprint shows IF structural anomalies support the reversal hypothesis (context)
Confluence Scoring weights ALL factors into an objective quality metric (filtering)
Using only RSI divergence gives you timing without confirmation. Using only volume pressure gives you intensity without directional context. Using only pattern detection gives you anomalies without trend exhaustion context. Using all four together creates a complete analytical framework where each layer compensates for the others' weaknesses.
This is not a mashup for the sake of combining indicators. It is a structured analytical system where each component has a defined role in a multi-dimensional market assessment process.
HOW TO READ THE INDICATOR - VISUAL ELEMENTS GUIDE
VMDM displays up to five visual layer types. You can enable or disable each layer independently in settings under "Visual Layers."
VISUAL LAYER 1 - MARKET STRUCTURE (Pivot Points and Lines)
What You See:
Small labels at swing highs and lows marked "PH" (Pivot High) and "PL" (Pivot Low) with horizontal dashed lines extending right from each pivot.
What It Means:
These are CONFIRMED pivots, not real-time. A pivot low appears AFTER the required right-side confirmation bars pass (default 3 bars). This creates a delay but prevents repainting. The pivot only appears once it is mathematically confirmed.
The horizontal lines represent support (from pivot lows) and resistance (from pivot highs) levels where price previously found significant rejection.
Color Coding:
Green label and line: Pivot Low (potential support)
Red label and line: Pivot High (potential resistance)
How To Use:
These pivots are the foundation for divergence detection. Divergence is only calculated between confirmed pivots, ensuring all signals are non-repainting. The lines help you see historical structure levels.
VISUAL LAYER 2 - PRESSURE ZONES (Background Color)
What You See:
Subtle background color shading on bars - light green or light red tint.
What It Means:
This visualizes volume pressure strength in real-time.
Color Coding:
Light Green Background: Pressure Strength above 70 (strong buying pressure - price closing near highs on volume)
Light Red Background: Pressure Strength below 30 (strong selling pressure - price closing near lows on volume)
No Color: Neutral pressure (pressure between 30-70)
How To Use:
When a bullish divergence pattern appears during green pressure zones, it suggests the divergence is forming during accumulation. When a bearish divergence appears during red zones, distribution is occurring. Pressure zones help you filter divergences - those forming in supportive pressure environments have higher probability.
VISUAL LAYER 3 - DIVERGENCE LINES (Dotted Connectors)
What You See:
Dotted lines connecting two pivot points (either two pivot lows or two pivot highs).
What It Means:
A divergence has been detected between those two pivots. The line connects the price pivots where RSI showed opposite behavior.
Color Coding:
Bright Green Line: Bullish divergence (regular or hidden)
Bright Red Line: Bearish divergence (regular or hidden)
How To Use:
The divergence line appears ONLY after the second pivot is confirmed (delayed by right-side confirmation bars). This is intentional to prevent repainting. When you see the line appear, it means:
For Bullish Regular Divergence:
Price made a lower low (second pivot lower than first)
RSI made a higher low (RSI at second pivot higher than first)
Interpretation: Downtrend losing momentum
For Bullish Hidden Divergence:
Price made a higher low (second pivot higher than first)
RSI made a lower low (RSI at second pivot lower than first)
Interpretation: Uptrend continuation likely (pullback within uptrend)
For Bearish Regular Divergence:
Price made a higher high (second pivot higher than first)
RSI made a lower high (RSI at second pivot lower than first)
Interpretation: Uptrend losing momentum
For Bearish Hidden Divergence:
Price made a lower high (second pivot lower than first)
RSI made a higher high (RSI at second pivot higher than first)
Interpretation: Downtrend continuation likely (bounce within downtrend)
If "Show Consolidated Analysis Label" is disabled, a small label will appear on the divergence line showing the divergence type abbreviation.
VISUAL LAYER 4 - BEHAVIORAL FOOTPRINT MARKERS
What You See:
Boxes, labels, and markers at specific bars showing pattern detection.
ABSORPTION ZONES (Boxes):
Colored rectangular boxes spanning one or more bars.
Purple Box: Accumulation absorption zone (high volume, tight range, bullish close)
Red Box: Distribution absorption zone (high volume, tight range, bearish close)
If absorption continues for multiple consecutive bars, the box extends and a counter appears in the label showing how many bars the absorption lasted.
What It Means: Large volume is being absorbed without significant price movement. This often precedes directional breakouts once the absorption phase completes.
STOP HUNT MARKERS (Labels):
Small labels below or above wicks labeled "BULL HUNT" or "BEAR HUNT" (may show bar count if consecutive).
What It Means:
BULL HUNT : Price spiked below recent lows then reversed back up on volume - likely triggered sell stops before reversing
BEAR HUNT : Price spiked above recent highs then reversed back down on volume - likely triggered buy stops before reversing
EXHAUSTION MARKERS (Labels):
Labels showing "SELL EXHAUST" or "BUY EXHAUST."
What It Means:
SELL EXHAUST : Large lower wick with high volume and low RSI - aggressive selling met with strong rejection
BUY EXHAUST : Large upper wick with high volume and high RSI - aggressive buying met with strong rejection
How To Use:
These markers help you identify WHERE structural anomalies occurred. When a divergence signal appears AT THE SAME TIME as one of these patterns, the confluence score increases. You are looking for alignment - divergence + behavioral pattern + pressure confirmation = high-quality setup.
VISUAL LAYER 5 - CONSOLIDATED ANALYSIS LABEL (Main Pattern Signal)
What You See:
A large label appearing at pivot points (or in real-time mode, at current bar) containing full pattern analysis.
Label Appearance:
Depending on your "Use Compact Label Format" setting:
COMPACT MODE (Single Line):
Example: "BULLISH REGULAR | Q:HIGH QUALITY C:82"
Breakdown:
BULLISH REGULAR: Divergence type detected
Q:HIGH QUALITY: Pattern quality tier
C:82: Confluence score (82 out of 100)
FULL MODE (Multi-Line Detailed):
Example:
PATTERN DETECTED
-------------------
BULLISH REGULAR
Quality: HIGH QUALITY
Price: Lower Low
Momentum: Higher Low
Signal: Weakening Downtrend
CONFLUENCE: 82/100
-------------------
Divergence: 30
Pressure: 25
Institutional: 20
RSI Extreme: 0
Volume: 10
Breakdown:
Top section: Pattern type and quality
Middle section: Divergence explanation (what price did vs what RSI did)
Bottom section: Confluence score with itemized breakdown showing which factors contributed
Label Position:
In Confirmed modes: Label appears AT the pivot point (delayed by confirmation bars)
In Real-time mode: Label appears at current bar as conditions develop
Label Color:
Gold: Textbook quality (90+ confluence)
Green: High quality (75-89 confluence)
Blue: Valid quality (60-74 confluence)
How To Use:
This is your primary decision-making label. When it appears:
Check the divergence type (regular divergences are reversal signals, hidden divergences are continuation signals)
Review the quality tier (textbook and high quality have better historical win rates)
Examine the confluence breakdown to see which factors are present and which are missing
Look at the chart context (trend, support/resistance, timeframe)
Use this information to assess whether the setup aligns with your strategy
The label does NOT tell you to buy or sell. It tells you a technical pattern has formed and provides the quality assessment. Your trading decision must incorporate risk management, market context, and your strategy rules.
UNDERSTANDING THE THREE DETECTION MODES
VMDM offers three signal detection modes in settings to accommodate different trading styles and learning objectives.
MODE 1: "Confluence Only (Real-Time)"
How It Works: Displays signals AS THEY DEVELOP on the current bar without waiting for pivot confirmation. The system calculates confluence score from pressure, volume, RSI extremes, and behavioral patterns. Divergence signals are NOT required in this mode.
Delay: ZERO - signals appear immediately.
Use Case: Real-time scanning for high-confluence zones without divergence requirement. Useful for intraday traders who want immediate alerts when multiple factors align.
Tradeoff: More frequent signals but includes setups without confirmed divergence. Higher false signal rate. Signals can change as the bar develops (not repainting in historical bars, but current bar updates).
Visual Behavior: Labels appear at the current bar. No divergence lines unless divergence happens to be present.
MODE 2: "Divergence + Confluence (Confirmed)" - DEFAULT RECOMMENDED
How It Works: Full system engagement. Signals appear ONLY when:
A pivot is confirmed (requires right-side confirmation bars to pass)
Divergence is detected between current pivot and previous pivot
Total confluence score meets or exceeds your minimum threshold
Delay: Equal to your "Pivot Right Bars" setting (default 3 bars). This means signals appear 3 bars AFTER the actual pivot formed.
Use Case: Highest-quality, non-repainting signals for swing traders and learners who want to study confirmed pattern completion.
Tradeoff: Delayed signals. You will not receive the signal until confirmation occurs. In fast-moving markets, price may have already moved significantly by the time the signal appears.
Visual Behavior: Labels appear at the historical pivot location (in the past). Divergence lines connect the two pivots. This is the most educational mode because it shows completed, confirmed patterns.
Non-Repainting Guarantee: Yes. Once a signal appears, it never disappears or changes.
MODE 3: "Divergence + Confluence (Relaxed)"
How It Works: Same as Confirmed mode but with adaptive thresholds. If confluence is very high (10 points above threshold), the signal may appear even if some factors are weak. If divergence is present but confluence is slightly below threshold (within 10 points), it may still appear.
Delay: Same as Confirmed mode (right-side confirmation bars).
Use Case: Slightly more signals than Confirmed mode for traders willing to accept near-threshold setups.
Tradeoff: More signals but lower average quality than Confirmed mode.
Visual Behavior: Same as Confirmed mode.
DASHBOARD GUIDE - READING THE METRICS
The dashboard appears in the corner of your chart (position selectable in settings) and provides real-time market state analysis.
You can choose between four dashboard detail levels in settings: Off, Compact, Optimized (default), Full.
DASHBOARD ROW EXPLANATIONS
ROW 1 - Header Information
Left: Current symbol and timeframe
Center: "VMDM "
Right: Version number
ROW 2 - Mode and Delay
Shows which detection mode you are using and the signal delay.
Example: "CONFIRMED | Delay: 3 bars"
This reminds you that signals in confirmed mode appear 3 bars after the pivot forms.
ROW 3 - Market Regime
Format: "TREND UP HV" or "RANGING NV"
First Part - Trend State:
TREND UP: 20 EMA above 50 EMA with strong separation
TREND DOWN: 20 EMA below 50 EMA with strong separation
RANGING: EMAs close together, low trend strength
TRANSITION: Between trending and ranging states
Second Part - Volatility State:
HV: High Volatility (current ATR more than 1.3x the 50-bar average ATR)
NV: Normal Volatility (current ATR between 0.7x and 1.3x average)
LV: Low Volatility (current ATR less than 0.7x average)
Third Column: Volatility ratio (example: "1.45x" means current ATR is 1.45 times normal)
How To Use: Regime context helps you interpret signals. Reversal divergences are more reliable in ranging or transitional regimes. Continuation divergences (hidden) are more reliable in trending regimes. High volatility means wider stops may be needed.
ROW 4 - Pressure
Shows current volume pressure state.
Format: "BUYING | ██████████░░░░░░░░░"
States:
BUYING : Pressure strength above 60 (closes near highs)
SELLING : Pressure strength below 40 (closes near lows)
NEUTRAL : Pressure strength between 40-60
Bar Visualization: Each block represents 10 percentile points. A full bar (10 filled blocks) = 100th percentile pressure.
Color: Green for buying, red for selling, gray for neutral.
How To Use: When pressure aligns with divergence direction (bullish divergence during buying pressure), confluence is stronger.
ROW 5 - Volume and RSI
Format: "1.8x | RSI 68 | OB"
First Value: Current volume ratio (1.8x = volume is 1.8 times the moving average)
Second Value: Current RSI reading
Third Value: RSI state
OB: Overbought (RSI above 70)
OS: Oversold (RSI below 30)
Blank: Neutral RSI
How To Use: Volume spikes (above 1.5x) during divergence formation add confluence. RSI extremes at pivots add confluence.
ROW 6 - Behavioral Footprint
Format: "BULL HUNT | 2 bars"
Shows the most recent behavioral pattern detected and how long ago.
States:
ACCUMULATION / DISTRIBUTION: Absorption detected
BULL HUNT / BEAR HUNT: Stop hunt detected
SELL EXHAUST / BUY EXHAUST: Exhaustion detected
SCANNING: No recent pattern
NOW: Pattern is active on current bar
How To Use: When footprint activity is recent (within 50 bars) or active now, it adds context to divergence signals forming in that area.
ROW 7 - Current Pattern
Shows the divergence type currently detected (if any).
Examples: "BULLISH REGULAR", "BEARISH HIDDEN", "Scanning..."
Quality: Shows pattern quality (TEXTBOOK, HIGH QUALITY, VALID)
How To Use: This tells you what type of signal is active. Regular divergences are reversal setups. Hidden divergences are continuation setups.
ROW 8 - Session Summary
Format: "14 events | A3 H8 E3"
First Value: Total institutional events this session
Breakdown:
A: Absorption events
H: Stop hunt events
E: Exhaustion events
How To Use: High event counts suggest an active, volatile session with frequent structural anomalies. Low counts suggest quiet, orderly price action.
ROW 9 - Confluence Score (Optimized/Full mode only)
Format: "78/100 | ████████░░"
Shows current real-time confluence score even if no pattern is confirmed yet.
How To Use: Watch this in real-time to see how close you are to pattern formation. When it exceeds your threshold and divergence forms, a signal will appear (after confirmation delay).
ROW 10 - Patterns Studied (Optimized/Full mode only)
Format: "47 patterns | 12 bars ago"
First Value: Total confirmed patterns detected since chart loaded
Second Value: How many bars since the last confirmed pattern appeared
How To Use: Helps you understand pattern frequency on your selected symbol and timeframe. If many bars have passed since last pattern, market may be trending without reversal opportunities.
ROW 11 - Bull/Bear Ratio (Optimized/Full mode only)
Format: "28:19 | BULL"
Shows count of bullish vs bearish patterns detected.
Balance:
BULL: More bullish patterns detected (suggests market has had more bullish reversals/continuations)
BEAR: More bearish patterns detected
BAL: Equal counts
How To Use: Extreme imbalances can indicate directional bias in the studied period. A heavily bullish ratio in a downtrend might suggest frequent failed rallies (bearish continuation). Context matters.
ROW 12 - Volume Ratio Detail (Optimized/Full mode only)
Shows current volume vs average volume in absolute terms.
Example: "1.4x | 45230 / 32300"
How To Use: Confirms whether current activity is above or below normal.
ROW 13 - Last Institutional Event (Full mode only)
Shows the most recent institutional pattern type and how many bars ago it occurred.
Example: "DISTRIBUTION | 23 bars"
How To Use: Tracks recency of last anomaly for context.
SETTINGS GUIDE - EVERY PARAMETER EXPLAINED
PERFORMANCE SECTION
Enable All Visuals (Master Toggle)
Default: ON
What It Does: Master kill switch for ALL visual elements (labels, lines, boxes, background colors, dashboard). When OFF, only plot outputs remain (invisible unless you open data window).
When To Change: Turn OFF on mobile devices, 1-second charts, or slow computers to improve performance. You can still receive alerts even with visuals disabled.
Impact: Dramatic performance improvement when OFF, but you lose all visual feedback.
Maximum Object History
Default: 50 | Range: 10-100
What It Does: Limits how many of each object type (labels, lines, boxes) are kept in memory. Older objects beyond this limit are deleted.
When To Change: Lower to 20-30 on fast timeframes (1-minute charts) to prevent slowdown. Increase to 100 on daily charts if you want more historical pattern visibility.
Impact: Lower values = better performance but less historical visibility. Higher values = more history visible but potential slowdown on fast timeframes.
Alert Cooldown (Bars)
Default: 5 | Range: 1-50
What It Does: Minimum number of bars that must pass before another alert of the same type can fire. Prevents alert spam when multiple patterns form in quick succession.
When To Change: Increase to 20+ on 1-minute charts to reduce noise. Decrease to 1-2 on daily charts if you want every pattern alerted.
Impact: Higher cooldown = fewer alerts. Lower cooldown = more alerts.
USER EXPERIENCE SECTION
Show Enhanced Tooltips
Default: ON
What It Does: Enables detailed hover-over tooltips on labels and visual elements.
When To Change: Turn OFF if you encounter Pine Script compilation errors related to tooltip arguments (rare, platform-specific issue).
Impact: Minimal. Just adds helpful hover text.
MARKET STRUCTURE DETECTION SECTION
Pivot Left Bars
Default: 3 | Range: 2-10
What It Does: Number of bars to the LEFT of the center bar that must be higher (for pivot low) or lower (for pivot high) than the center bar for a pivot to be valid.
Example: With value 3, a pivot low requires the center bar's low to be lower than the 3 bars to its left.
When To Change:
Increase to 5-7 on noisy timeframes (1-minute charts) to filter insignificant pivots
Decrease to 2 on slow timeframes (daily charts) to catch more pivots
Impact: Higher values = fewer, more significant pivots = fewer signals. Lower values = more frequent pivots = more signals but more noise.
Pivot Right Bars
Default: 3 | Range: 2-10
What It Does: Number of bars to the RIGHT of the center bar that must pass for confirmation. This creates the non-repainting delay.
Example: With value 3, a pivot is confirmed 3 bars AFTER it forms.
When To Change:
Increase to 5-7 for slower, more confirmed signals (better for swing trading)
Decrease to 2 for faster signals (better for intraday, but still non-repainting)
Impact: Higher values = longer delay but more reliable confirmation. Lower values = faster signals but less confirmation. This setting directly controls your signal delay in Confirmed and Relaxed modes.
Minimum Confluence Score
Default: 60 | Range: 40-95
What It Does: The threshold score required for a pattern to be displayed. Patterns with confluence scores below this threshold are not shown.
When To Change:
Increase to 75+ if you only want high-quality textbook setups (fewer signals)
Decrease to 50-55 if you want to see more developing patterns (more signals, lower average quality)
Impact: This is your primary signal filter. Higher threshold = fewer, higher-quality signals. Lower threshold = more signals but includes weaker setups. Recommended starting point is 60-65.
TECHNICAL PERIODS SECTION
RSI Period
Default: 14 | Range: 5-50
What It Does: Lookback period for RSI calculation.
When To Change:
Decrease to 9-10 for faster, more sensitive RSI that detects shorter-term momentum changes
Increase to 21-28 for slower, smoother RSI that filters noise
Impact: Lower values make RSI more volatile (more frequent extremes and divergences). Higher values make RSI smoother (fewer but more significant divergences). 14 is industry standard.
Volume Moving Average Period
Default: 20 | Range: 10-200
What It Does: Lookback period for calculating average volume. Current volume is compared to this average to determine volume ratio.
When To Change:
Decrease to 10-14 for shorter-term volume comparison (more sensitive to recent volume changes)
Increase to 50-100 for longer-term volume comparison (smoother, less sensitive)
Impact: Lower values make volume ratio more volatile. Higher values make it more stable. 20 is standard.
ATR Period
Default: 14 | Range: 5-100
What It Does: Lookback period for Average True Range calculation used for volatility measurement and label positioning.
When To Change: Rarely needs adjustment. Use 7-10 for faster volatility response, 21-28 for slower.
Impact: Affects volatility ratio calculation and visual label spacing. Minimal impact on signals.
Pressure Percentile Lookback
Default: 50 | Range: 10-300
What It Does: Lookback period for calculating volume pressure percentile ranking. Your current pressure is ranked against the pressure of the last X bars.
When To Change:
Decrease to 20-30 for shorter-term pressure context (more responsive to recent changes)
Increase to 100-200 for longer-term pressure context (smoother rankings)
Impact: Lower values make pressure strength more sensitive to recent bars. Higher values provide more stable, long-term pressure assessment. Capped at 300 for performance reasons.
SIGNAL DETECTION SECTION
Signal Detection Mode
Default: "Divergence + Confluence (Confirmed)"
Options:
Confluence Only (Real-time)
Divergence + Confluence (Confirmed)
Divergence + Confluence (Relaxed)
What It Does: Selects which detection logic mode to use (see "Understanding The Three Detection Modes" section above).
When To Change: Use Confirmed for learning and non-repainting signals. Use Real-time for live scanning without divergence requirement. Use Relaxed for slightly more signals than Confirmed.
Impact: Fundamentally changes when and how signals appear.
VISUAL LAYERS SECTION
All toggles default to ON. Each controls visibility of one visual layer:
Show Market Structure: Pivot markers and support/resistance lines
Show Pressure Zones: Background color shading
Show Divergence Lines: Dotted lines connecting pivots
Show Institutional Footprint Markers: Absorption boxes, hunt labels, exhaustion labels
Show Consolidated Analysis Label: Main pattern detection label
Use Compact Label Format
Default: OFF
What It Does: Switches consolidated label between single-line compact format and multi-line detailed format.
When To Change: Turn ON if you find full labels too large or distracting.
Impact: Visual clarity vs. information density tradeoff.
DASHBOARD SECTION
Dashboard Mode
Default: "Optimized"
Options: Off, Compact, Optimized, Full
What It Does: Controls how much information the dashboard displays.
Off: No dashboard
Compact: 8 rows (essential metrics only)
Optimized: 12 rows (recommended balance)
Full: 13 rows (every available metric)
Dashboard Position
Default: "Top Right"
Options: Top Right, Top Left, Bottom Right, Bottom Left
What It Does: Screen corner where dashboard appears.
HOW TO USE VMDM - PRACTICAL WORKFLOW
STEP 1 - INITIAL SETUP
Add VMDM to your chart
Select your detection mode (Confirmed recommended for learning)
Set your minimum confluence score (start with 60-65)
Adjust pivot parameters if needed (default 3/3 is good for most timeframes)
Enable the visual layers you want to see
STEP 2 - CHART ANALYSIS
Let the indicator load and analyze historical data
Review the patterns that appear historically
Examine the confluence scores - notice which patterns had higher scores
Observe which patterns occurred during supportive pressure zones
Notice the divergence line connections - understand what price vs RSI did
STEP 3 - PATTERN RECOGNITION LEARNING
When a consolidated analysis label appears:
Read the divergence type (regular or hidden, bullish or bearish)
Check the quality tier (textbook, high quality, or valid)
Review the confluence breakdown - which factors contributed
Look at the chart context - where is price relative to structure, trend, etc.
Observe the behavioral footprint markers nearby - do they support the pattern
STEP 4 - REAL-TIME MONITORING
Watch the dashboard for real-time regime and pressure state
Monitor the current confluence score in the dashboard
When it approaches your threshold, be alert for potential pattern formation
When a new pattern appears (after confirmation delay), evaluate it using the workflow above
Use your trading strategy rules to decide if the setup aligns with your criteria
STEP 5 - POST-PATTERN OBSERVATION
After a pattern appears:
Mark the level on your chart
Observe what price does after the pattern completes
Did price respect the reversal/continuation signal
What was the confluence score of patterns that worked vs. those that failed
Learn which quality tiers and confluence levels produce better results on your specific symbol and timeframe
RECOMMENDED TIMEFRAMES AND ASSET CLASSES
VMDM is timeframe-agnostic and works on any asset with volume data. However, optimal performance varies:
BEST TIMEFRAMES
15-Minute to 1-Hour: Ideal balance of signal frequency and reliability. Pivot confirmation delay is acceptable. Sufficient volume data for pressure analysis.
4-Hour to Daily: Excellent for swing trading. Very high-quality signals. Lower frequency but higher significance. Recommended for learning because patterns are clearer.
1-Minute to 5-Minute: Works but requires adjustment. Increase pivot bars to 5-7 for filtering. Decrease max object history to 30 for performance. Expect more noise.
Weekly/Monthly: Works but very infrequent signals. Increase confluence threshold to 70+ to ensure only major patterns appear.
BEST ASSET CLASSES
Forex Majors: Excellent volume data and clear trends. Pressure analysis works well.
Crypto (Major Pairs): Good volume data. High volatility makes divergences more pronounced. Works very well.
Stock Indices (SPY, QQQ, etc.): Excellent. Clean price action and reliable volume.
Individual Stocks: Works well on high-volume stocks. Low-volume stocks may produce unreliable pressure readings.
Commodities (Gold, Oil, etc.): Works well. Clear trends and reactions.
WHAT THIS INDICATOR CANNOT DO - LIMITATIONS
LIMITATION 1 - It Does Not Predict The Future
VMDM identifies when technical conditions align historically associated with potential reversals or continuations. It does not predict what will happen next. A textbook 95-confluence pattern can still fail if fundamental events, news, or larger timeframe structure override the setup.
LIMITATION 2 - Confirmation Delay Means You Miss Early Entry
In Confirmed and Relaxed modes, the non-repainting design means you receive signals AFTER the pivot is confirmed. Price may have already moved significantly by the time you receive the signal. This is the tradeoff for non-repainting reliability. You can use Real-time mode for faster signals but sacrifice divergence confirmation.
LIMITATION 3 - It Does Not Tell You Position Sizing or Risk Management
VMDM provides technical pattern analysis. It does not calculate stop loss levels, take profit targets, or position sizing. You must apply your own risk management rules. Never risk more than you can afford to lose based on a technical signal.
LIMITATION 4 - Volume Pressure Analysis Requires Reliable Volume Data
On assets with thin volume or unreliable volume reporting, pressure analysis may be inaccurate. Stick to major liquid assets with consistent volume data.
LIMITATION 5 - It Cannot Detect Fundamental Events
VMDM is purely technical. It cannot predict earnings reports, central bank decisions, geopolitical events, or other fundamental catalysts that can override technical patterns.
LIMITATION 6 - Divergence Requires Two Pivots
The indicator cannot detect divergence until at least two pivots of the same type have formed. In strong trends without pullbacks, you may go long periods without signals.
LIMITATION 7 - Institutional Pattern Names Are Interpretive
The behavioral footprint patterns are named using common trading education terminology, but they are detected through technical analysis, not actual institutional data access. The patterns are interpretations based on price and volume behavior.
CONCEPT FOUNDATION - WHY THIS APPROACH WORKS
MARKET PRINCIPLE 1 - Momentum Divergence Precedes Price Reversal
Price is the final output of market forces, but momentum (the rate of change in those forces) shifts first. When price makes a new low but the momentum behind that move is weaker (higher RSI low), it signals that sellers are losing strength even though they temporarily pushed price lower. This precedes reversal. This is a fundamental principle in technical analysis taught by Charles Dow, widely observed in market behavior.
MARKET PRINCIPLE 2 - Volume Reveals Conviction
Price can move on low volume (low conviction) or high volume (high conviction). When price makes a new low on declining volume while RSI shows improving momentum, it suggests the new low is not confirmed by participant conviction. Adding volume pressure analysis to momentum divergence adds a confirmation layer that filters false divergences.
MARKET PRINCIPLE 3 - Anomalies Mark Structural Extremes
When volume spikes significantly but range contracts (absorption), or when price spikes beyond structure then reverses (stop hunt), or when aggressive moves are met with large-wick rejection (exhaustion), these anomalies often mark short-term extremes. Combining these structural observations with momentum analysis creates context.
MARKET PRINCIPLE 4 - Confluence Improves Probability
No single technical factor is reliable in isolation. RSI divergence alone fails frequently. Volume analysis alone cannot time entries. Combining multiple independent factors into a weighted system increases the probability that observed patterns have structural significance rather than random noise.
THE EDUCATIONAL VALUE
By visualizing all four layers simultaneously and breaking down the confluence scoring transparently, VMDM teaches you to think in terms of multi-dimensional analysis rather than single-indicator reliance. Over time, you will learn to recognize these patterns manually and understand which combinations produce better results on your traded assets.
INSTITUTIONAL TERMINOLOGY - IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION
This indicator uses the following terms that are common in trading education:
Institutional Footprint
Absorption (Accumulation / Distribution)
Stop Hunt
Exhaustion
CRITICAL DISCLAIMER:
These terms are EDUCATIONAL LABELS for specific price action and volume behavior patterns detected through technical analysis of publicly available chart data (open, high, low, close, volume). This indicator does NOT have access to:
Actual institutional order flow or order book data
Market maker positions or intentions
Broker stop-loss databases
Non-public trading data
Proprietary institutional information
The patterns labeled as "institutional footprint" are interpretations based on observable price and volume behavior that educational trading literature often associates with potential large-participant activity. The detection is algorithmic pattern recognition, not privileged data access.
When this indicator identifies "absorption," it means it detected high volume within a small range - a condition that MAY indicate large orders being filled but is not confirmation of actual institutional participation.
When it identifies a "stop hunt," it means price briefly penetrated a structural level then reversed - a pattern that MAY have triggered stop losses but is not confirmation that stops were specifically targeted.
When it identifies "exhaustion," it means high volume with large rejection wicks - a pattern that MAY indicate aggressive participation meeting strong opposition but is not confirmation of institutional involvement.
These are technical analysis interpretations, not factual statements about market participant identity or intent.
DISCLAIMER AND RISK WARNING
EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE ONLY
This indicator is designed as an educational tool to help traders learn to recognize technical patterns, understand multi-factor analysis, and practice systematic market observation. It is NOT a trading system, signal service, or financial advice.
NO PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE
Past pattern behavior does not guarantee future results. A pattern that historically preceded price movement in one direction may fail in the future due to changing market conditions, fundamental events, or random variance. Confluence scores reflect historical technical alignment, not future certainty.
TRADING INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK
Trading financial instruments involves substantial risk of loss. You can lose more than your initial investment. Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose. Always use proper risk management including stop losses, position sizing, and portfolio diversification.
NO PREDICTIVE CLAIMS
This indicator does NOT predict future price movement. It identifies when technical conditions align in patterns that historically have been associated with potential reversals or continuations. Market behavior is probabilistic, not deterministic.
BACKTESTING LIMITATIONS
If you backtest trading strategies using this indicator, ensure you account for:
Realistic commission costs
Realistic slippage (difference between signal price and actual fill price)
Sufficient sample size (minimum 100 trades for statistical relevance)
Reasonable position sizing (risking no more than 1-2 percent of account per trade)
The confirmation delay inherent in the indicator (you cannot enter at the exact pivot in Confirmed mode)
Backtests that do not account for these factors will produce unrealistic results.
AUTHOR LIABILITY

NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE
Nothing in this indicator, its code, its description, or its visual outputs constitutes financial, investment, or trading advice. Consult a licensed financial advisor before making investment decisions.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Why do signals appear in the past, not at the current bar
A: In Confirmed and Relaxed modes, signals appear at confirmed pivots, which requires waiting for right-side confirmation bars (default 3). This creates a delay but prevents repainting. Use Real-time mode if you want current-bar signals without pivot confirmation.
Q: Can I use this for automated trading
A: You can create alert-based automation, but understand that Confirmed mode signals appear AFTER the pivot with delay, so your entry will not be at the pivot price. Real-time mode signals can change as the current bar develops. Automation requires careful consideration of these factors.
Q: How do I know which confluence score to use
A: Start with 60. Observe which patterns work on your symbol/timeframe. If too many false signals, increase to 70-75. If too few signals, decrease to 55. Quality vs. quantity tradeoff.
Q: Do regular divergences mean I should enter a reversal trade immediately
A: No. Regular divergences indicate momentum exhaustion, which is a WARNING sign that trend may reverse, not a confirmation that it will. Use confluence score, market context, support/resistance, and your strategy rules to make entry decisions. Many divergences fail.
Q: What's the difference between regular and hidden divergence
A: Regular divergence = price and momentum move in opposite directions at extremes = potential reversal signal. Hidden divergence = price and momentum move in opposite directions during pullbacks = potential continuation signal. Hidden divergence suggests the pullback is just a correction within the larger trend.
Q: Why does the pressure zone color sometimes conflict with the divergence direction
A: Pressure is real-time current bar analysis. Divergence is confirmed pivot analysis from the past. They measure different things at different times. A bullish divergence confirmed 3 bars ago might appear during current selling pressure. This is normal.
Q: Can I use this on stocks without volume data
A: No. Volume is required for pressure analysis and behavioral pattern detection. Use only on assets with reliable volume reporting.
Q: How often should I expect signals
A: Depends on timeframe and settings. Daily charts might produce 5-10 signals per month. 1-hour charts might produce 20-30. 15-minute charts might produce 50-100. Adjust confluence threshold to control frequency.
Q: Can I modify the code
A: Yes, this is open source. You can modify for personal use. If you publish a modified version, please credit the original and ensure your publication meets TradingView guidelines.
Q: What if I disagree with a pattern's confluence score
A: The scoring weights are based on general observations and may not suit your specific strategy or asset. You can modify the code to adjust weights if you have data-driven reasons to do so.
Final Notes
VMDM - Volume, Momentum and Divergence Master is an educational multi-layer market analysis system designed to teach systematic pattern recognition through transparent, confluence-weighted signal detection. By combining RSI momentum divergence, volume pressure quantification, behavioral footprint pattern recognition, and quality scoring into a unified framework, it provides a comprehensive learning environment for understanding market structure.
Use this tool to develop your analytical skills, understand how multiple technical factors interact, and learn to distinguish high-quality setups from noise. Remember that technical analysis is probabilistic, not predictive. No indicator replaces proper education, risk management, and trading discipline.
Trade responsibly. Learn continuously. Risk only what you can afford to lose.

Hanzo Strategy - Volume & Smart Money📊 HANZO STRATEGY - Complete Description
## 🎯 Strategy Overview
The **Hanzo Strategy** is an advanced institutional trading system that combines Volume Profile analysis, Smart Money Concepts, and Price Action patterns to identify high-probability trade setups. This strategy is specifically designed for trading Gold (XAUUSD), NAS100, and US30 on the 15-minute timeframe.
---
## 🧠 Core Trading Philosophy
The Hanzo Strategy operates on the principle that **institutional money leaves footprints** in the market through:
- Volume accumulation at key price levels
- Liquidity sweeps and stop hunts
- Order block formations
- Strategic wick rejections at support/resistance
By identifying these institutional behaviors and combining them with precise volume analysis, the strategy aims to trade **with** the smart money, not against it.
---
## 🔑 Key Components
### 1️⃣ **Fixed Range Volume Profile (FRVP)**
- **What it does:** Analyzes the last 2 days of price action and calculates where the most volume traded
- **Point of Control (POC):** The price level with the highest trading volume - acts as a magnet for price
- **How we use it:** Price tends to revert to POC. When price is far from POC and starts moving toward it, we prepare for entries
- **Visual:** Yellow cross line on the chart marking the POC
### 2️⃣ **Wick Cluster Detection**
- **What it does:** Automatically identifies price levels where multiple candle wicks have rejected (2-6+ wicks)
- **Why it matters:** Multiple rejections at the same level indicate strong institutional support/resistance
- **Upper wick clusters:** Resistance zones where price was rejected downward
- **Lower wick clusters:** Support zones where price was rejected upward
- **Visual:** Dashed lines (red for resistance, green for support)
### 3️⃣ **Session Volatility Boxes**
- **London Session (8:00-16:00 UTC+3):** Captures European market volatility range
- **New York Session (13:30-20:00 UTC+3):** Captures US market volatility range
- **How we use it:** These ranges often act as support/resistance for the rest of the day
- **Visual:** Blue box for London, Orange box for New York
### 4️⃣ **Smart Money Zones**
**Order Blocks:**
- Strong institutional areas where banks and hedge funds placed large orders
- **Bullish Order Block:** Area where smart money bought heavily before a strong upward move
- **Bearish Order Block:** Area where smart money sold heavily before a strong downward move
- **Visual:** Green/Red filled boxes with "Bull OB" or "Bear OB" labels
**Liquidity Sweeps:**
- Price breaks above recent high or below recent low, then quickly reverses
- This is a "stop hunt" - institutions triggering retail stops before moving in the real direction
- **Bullish Sweep:** Price dips below support, grabs stops, then reverses up
- **Bearish Sweep:** Price pops above resistance, grabs stops, then reverses down
- **Visual:** Triangle markers (green up = bullish, red down = bearish)
### 5️⃣ **Engulfing Pattern Recognition**
- **Bullish Engulfing:** Large green candle fully engulfs the previous red candle - shows strong buying pressure
- **Bearish Engulfing:** Large red candle fully engulfs the previous green candle - shows strong selling pressure
- **How we use it:** Confirmation signal when combined with other factors
- **Visual:** Small circles below/above candles
### 6️⃣ **Trend Bias Indicator**
- Dynamically calculates market bias based on price position relative to POC
- **Bullish:** Price > 0.2% above POC
- **Neutral:** Price within 0.2% of POC
- **Bearish:** Price > 0.2% below POC
- **Visual:** Label at top of chart showing current bias
---
## 📈 Entry Signal Logic
The strategy generates **LONG** and **SHORT** signals based on confluence of multiple factors:
### 🟢 LONG ENTRY CONDITIONS:
1. **POC Break:** Price crosses above POC from below + Trend Bias is Bullish
**OR**
2. **Support Bounce:** Price touches a lower wick cluster + Bullish Engulfing pattern forms
3. **Additional Filter:** Trend Bias must NOT be Bearish
### 🔴 SHORT ENTRY CONDITIONS:
1. **POC Break:** Price crosses below POC from above + Trend Bias is Bearish
**OR**
2. **Resistance Rejection:** Price touches an upper wick cluster + Bearish Engulfing pattern forms
3. **Additional Filter:** Trend Bias must NOT be Bullish
---
## 🎯 Risk Management
### Stop Loss:
- **Calculation:** 2 × ATR(14) from entry price
- **Logic:** Uses Average True Range to adapt to current market volatility
- **Example:** If ATR = 10 points, stop loss is 20 points away
### Take Profit:
- **Calculation:** 3 × ATR(14) from entry price
- **Risk:Reward Ratio:** 1:1.5 (risking 2 ATR to make 3 ATR)
- **Example:** If ATR = 10 points, take profit is 30 points away
### Position Sizing:
- **Default:** 2% of account equity per trade
- **Adjustable:** Can be modified in strategy settings
---

---
## 💡 Pro Trading Tips
### 1. **Multiple Timeframe Confirmation**
- Check 1-hour chart for overall trend before taking 15-minute signals
- Only take LONG signals if 1-hour is bullish
- Only take SHORT signals if 1-hour is bearish
### 2. **POC Strategy**
- Best entries occur when price returns to POC after being far away
- Wait for POC touch + confirmation pattern (engulfing, order block)
- POC acts as support in uptrends, resistance in downtrends
### 3. **Wick Cluster Strategy**
- Strongest signals occur when wick clusters align with POC
- Look for 4+ wicks at the same level for highest probability
- Recent clusters (formed in last 2 days) are stronger than old ones
### 4. **Order Block Strategy**
- Fresh order blocks (just formed) are more powerful
- Wait for price to return to order block zone before entering
- Best when order block + wick cluster occur at same level
### 5. **London/NY Box Strategy**
- If price breaks above session high → look for LONG pullback entries
- If price breaks below session low → look for SHORT pullback entries
- Price often returns to session mid-point before continuing
### 6. **Risk Management Rules**
- **Never risk more than 2% per trade**
- **Don't trade more than 3 positions simultaneously**
- **If 2 losses in a row, reduce size to 1% or stop for the day**
- **Move stop to breakeven after 1:1 profit reached**
### 7. **High-Probability Setups**
Look for **CONFLUENCE** - the more factors aligned, the better:
✅ **BEST LONG SETUP:**
- Price at lower wick cluster (support)
- Price at/near POC
- Bullish order block present
- Bullish engulfing pattern forms
- Trend Bias = Bullish
- 1-hour chart = uptrend
✅ **BEST SHORT SETUP:**
- Price at upper wick cluster (resistance)
- Price at/near POC
- Bearish order block present
- Bearish engulfing pattern forms
- Trend Bias = Bearish
- 1-hour chart = downtrend

## 🎓 Strategy Philosophy Summary
The Hanzo Strategy is built on three core principles:
1. **Follow the Volume** - Trade where institutions are active
2. **Respect the Levels** - Key support/resistance zones matter
3. **Confirm with Price Action** - Wait for confirmation before entering
This is NOT a holy grail - it requires:
- ✅ Discipline to wait for proper setups
- ✅ Patience to let trades play out
- ✅ Risk management to protect capital
- ✅ Emotional control to handle losses

XAU Macro Regime + Mispricing OscillatorThis indicator is designed to measure the true macro environment behind gold (XAUUSD) and identify when price is aligned with macro flows or mispriced relative to them.
It combines a macro composite index, a mispricing spread oscillator, and automatic divergence detection into one tool.
1. Macro Composite Index (Regime Filter)
The top layer of the indicator constructs a macro regime score derived from:
A basket of gold FX pairs (XAUJPY, XAUAUD, XAUCHF, XAUNZD, XAUSGD)
The inverted DXY (to represent USD pressure on gold)
US30 (to capture global risk appetite and macro sentiment)
Each component is normalized and weighted, then combined into a composite macro index.
A smoothed baseline (SMA) is subtracted from this composite to form the Regime Line.
Interpretation
Regime > 0 (Green background):
Macro environment is supportive for gold.
XAUUSD is more likely to rise, consolidate, or mean revert upward.
Regime < 0 (Red background):
Macro environment is hostile for gold.
XAUUSD is more likely to fall, struggle, or mean revert downward.
This creates a macro trend filter that tells you when it is safer to prefer longs, shorts, or stay out.
2. Mispricing Spread Oscillator (Spread MACD)
The second layer measures the difference between XAUUSD and the macro composite index:
Spread = (Macro Composite) – (Normalized XAUUSD)
This spread is then smoothed into a signal line, and a histogram is plotted from their difference (MACD-style).
Interpretation
Spread > 0:
Gold is undervalued relative to macro conditions.
Macro strength > price strength.
Spread < 0:
Gold is overvalued relative to macro conditions.
Price strength > macro strength.
Spread crossing above signal:
Macro momentum turning bullish relative to price.
Spread crossing below signal:
Macro momentum turning bearish relative to price.
Green histogram: acceleration upward
Red histogram: acceleration downward
This oscillator captures mispricing, momentum shifts, and macro-pressure reversals.
3. Automatic Divergence Detection
The indicator automatically detects:
-Bullish Divergence-
XAUUSD makes a lower low
Spread makes a higher low
→ Price is weaker than macro reality → potential bullish reversal or mispricing reversion.
-Bearish Divergence-
XAUUSD makes a higher high
Spread makes a lower high
→ Price is stronger than macro reality → potential bearish reversal or exhaustion.
Labels (“Bull div” / “Bear div”) appear directly on the oscillator for clarity.
4. What The Indicator Seeks To Do
This indicator aims to answer the question:
“Is gold moving with the true macro pressure behind it, or diverging from it?”
Most gold indicators only watch XAUUSD price.
This one watches:
-gold cross-currency flows
-USD strength
-global risk sentiment
-gold’s relative position vs macro
-mispricing momentum
-divergence between price and macro reality
This creates a unique tool that:
-Detects when gold is overextended
-Detects when gold is undervalued
-Reveals hidden macro strength or weakness
-Highlights turning points and exhaustion
-Shows when a pullback is likely to end
-Shows when a rally is likely to fail
-Gives regime-aware trade direction (long vs short bias)
-Adds divergence labels for precision entries

RT-Custom Clouds|RSI|HMA|GPIntroduction
The RT-Custom Clouds|RSI|HMA|GP indicator is a multipurpose toolkit that combines custom Ichimoku clouds, custom RSI-based overlays, RSI Top/Bottom signals, Hull Moving Averages and automated Fibonacci Golden Pocket zones into a single indicator. It is designed to give traders flexible ways to view trend, momentum, and key zones on the chart.
This publication walks through each major component of the RT-Custom Clouds|RSI|HMA|GP indicator and how traders commonly use them.
Custom Ichimoku Clouds
The top section of RT Custom Clouds focuses on Ichimoku-style clouds. Traders can choose between different cloud variants and control whether they want the full Ichimoku toolkit or only the cloud itself on the chart.
A single toggle controls the cloud display: Cloud Only (All Versions) - When enabled, only the selected cloud is displayed. Core Ichimoku lines are hidden so traders who prefer a clean cloud view can keep their charts simple. Traders can select between three cloud styles: Josh Olszewicz Cloud (Preferred) - Uses a doubled parameter set inspired by the well-known Ichimoku variant popularized by Josh Olszewicz.
Standard Cloud - Uses the classic Ichimoku settings familiar from most charting platforms.
Custom Cloud - Allows full control over the main Ichimoku inputs:
Custom Conversion Line Length
Custom Base Line Length
Custom Leading Span Length
Custom Displacement
These options let traders move between a standard Ichimoku view, a doubled parameter variant, or a fully customized configuration tuned to their own style.
Custom RSI X's and RSI Bot Signals
The RT-Custom Clouds|RSI|HMA|GP indicator also includes an RSI X overlay that plots RSI information directly onto price candles instead of keeping it in a separate lower pane. This makes it easier to see momentum shifts and extended conditions without constantly looking down at another indicator. RSI Colors
Instead of drawing RSI as a line, the tool places colored X markers on candles to reflect RSI behavior. These markers use an adapted version of the Rainbow Trends color system. To keep candle colors and RSI markers visually distinct, the original Rainbow Trends color code is inverted for RSI. This inversion helps traders quickly distinguish between the underlying trend colors and the RSI-driven overlays: RSI Settings
The RSI section includes a focused set of options to tune how the X markers behave and how the RSI Bot interprets momentum:
RSI "X" Marker Sensitivity - Adjusts how sensitive the X markers are to RSI changes. Higher or lower values will change how often markers appear.
RSI Length - Controls how many candles are used when calculating RSI. The default value is similar to traditional 14-period RSI, but can be adjusted.
RSI Markers On/Off - Toggles the colored X markers on or off.
RSI Top/Bottom Signals On/Off - Toggles the RSI Bot signals that mark potential tops and bottoms.
RSI Overbought On/Off - Enables or disables overbought style X markers.
RSI Oversold On/Off - Enables or disables oversold style X markers.
RSI Bot - Tops And Bottoms
Over time, traders using this tool wanted a way to summarize longer stretches of RSI activity into clear signals. The RSI Top/Bottom Bot does this by watching runs of RSI X markers and waiting for those runs to pause.
Conceptually, the RSI Bot: Monitors when a strong sequence of RSI X markers is printing in one direction.
Waits for a candle where no RSI X marker appears after that run.
Marks that candle as a potential RSI Top or RSI Bottom, since the prior RSI pressure has paused and a reversal may start. These signals can be tied to TradingView alerts using standard alert conditions so traders can monitor major shifts in RSI behavior without watching every bar. Alerts can be set for either RSI Top signals or RSI Bottom signals. Hull Moving Average (HMA)
The RT-Custom Clouds|RSI|HMA|GP indicator also includes a Hull Moving Average component inspired by early users of Rainbow Trends tools who relied on tuned HMAs for trend context. The HMA implementation follows common definitions of the Hull Moving Average and can be configured with user-defined lengths. Many traders using this tool treat the HMA as a secondary trend filter or confirmation layer alongside other Rainbow Trends indicators. For example: Watching whether price is trading above or below a longer HMA to frame bullish or bearish bias.
Studying how price interacts with the HMA during extended trends or range rotations.
HMA Cross Alerts And Divergences
The tool can also draw and alert on HMA cross events and divergence style patterns: HMA Cross Alerts - Alerts can be configured when price or multiple HMAs cross, allowing traders to automate notifications for potential trend shifts.
HMA Divergences - An optional divergence mode looks for conditions similar to RSI divergence style setups, but applied to the HMA logic. These are intended as context layers around trend behavior, not as automatic entry and exit rules.
HMA Settings
The HMA module of this indicator can be tuned to meet each trader's preference.
Plot HMA - On/Off - Toggles the HMA Line on/off.
HMA Alerts - On/Off - Toggles HMA Alerts on/off.
Plot HMA Alerts - On/Off - Toggles HMA Alerts on/off.
Plot Divergences - On/Off - Toggles Divergences on/off so the trader can choose which specific ones they want to display.
HMA Period - Adjusts the period of candles the HMA is calculated off of.
HMA Source - Changes the base calculation of the HMA.
Pivot Lookbacks - Adjusts the candle lookback range for the HMA Divergences.
Max/Min of Lookback Range - Adjusts the min & max lookback range for the HMA Divergences. Fibonacci Golden Pockets
The RT-Custom Clouds|RSI|HMA|GP indicator also includes an automated Fibonacci Golden Pocket module. Instead of manually drawing Fibonacci retracements and marking the Golden Pocket region for each swing, the tool scans the chart and plots these zones for the trader.
The Golden Pocket module can be configured using:
Golden Pocket On/Off - Toggles automatic plotting of golden pocket zones.
Golden Pocket Colors - Controls line and fill appearance so zones can be made more or less prominent.
Lookback Period - Defines how far back the algorithm studies price action when searching for swings and drawing golden pocket zones.
Invert Fibs - Inverts the Golden Pocket measurement.
Extend Lines - Allows for the Fib lines to be plotted further across the chart.
Display Prices/Levels - Toggles plotting of the prices and Fib levels on and off. Some traders prefer to work with both traditional and inverted golden pockets at the same time. This can be done by adding RT Custom Clouds to the chart twice, running one instance with standard golden pocket settings and the second instance with inverted settings.
How Traders Commonly Use The RT-Custom Clouds|RSI|HMA|GP Indicator
Because the RT-Custom Clouds|RSI|HMA|GP indicator offers several tools into a single script, traders often use it as a multipurpose context layer rather than a one-dimensional indicator. Common patterns include: Using custom Ichimoku clouds to frame overall trend and support or resistance zones.
Overlaying RSI X markers and RSI Top/Bottom signals onto price to highlight momentum shifts and exhaustion areas.
Adding HMA and HMA cross alerts as a secondary trend confirmation tool.
Letting the Golden Pocket module continuously plot Fibonacci based zones to study how price reacts around them over time.
In all cases, RT Custom Clouds is designed to provide structured context that can be combined with other Rainbow Trends tools, price action, and volume analysis.
Important Note
The RT-Custom Clouds|RSI|HMA|GP indicator is intended to provide additional context around trend structure, momentum, and potential support or resistance zones. It is not a standalone signal generator and should always be used together with your own analysis, testing, and risk management. Historical examples or past interactions with clouds, RSI markers, HMAs, or golden pockets do not guarantee future results.

"Smart Dashboard" for Institutional Price Targets.This script is designed to create a "Smart Dashboard" for Institutional Price Targets.
Think of it as a tool that asks, "What does Wall Street think this stock is worth?" and then draws specific "Buy Zones" on your chart based on those professional valuations.
Here is a breakdown of how it works in plain English for an investor:
1. The Core Concept: Wall Street Consensus
The indicator doesn't use standard technical analysis (like RSI or Moving Averages). Instead, it looks at Fundamental Data. It pulls the average Price Target set by institutional analysts (banks, hedge funds, research firms).
Example: If Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and JP Morgan all agree that NVDA is worth $150, this tool grabs that $150 number.
2. The "Data Engine" (The Smart Part)
The code includes a sophisticated "search engine" (Section 2 & 3 of the code) to ensure it finds the most accurate price target.
The Problem: Sometimes data feeds are empty, or they are in the wrong currency (e.g., a Canadian stock showing a price target in USD, which makes the chart look broken).
The Solution: This script follows a "Waterfall" priority list to find data:
Priority 1: It checks NASDAQ data first (often the most accurate for tech stocks like Apple or Tesla).
Priority 2: If the local currency data is missing, it forces a search for USD data (this is the "USD Fix" in the title).
Priority 3: It checks NYSE data.
Backup: If all else fails, it uses the generic TradingView average.
In short: It works very hard to make sure it doesn't give you a blank screen or a currency error.
3. The "Institutional Buy Zones" (The Strategy)
Once the tool finds the "Fair Value" (the Analyst Target), it calculates deep discount levels where an institutional investor might want to buy the dip.
It draws four colored lines below the current price:
Target (Dashed Line): This is the Fair Value. (The goal).
Level 1 (Green Line - 90%): This is 10% below fair value. A standard "buy the dip" zone.
Level 2 (Blue Line - 70%): This is 30% below fair value. This is considered a "Value Buy" or a "Deep Discount."
Level 3 (Orange Line - ~66.5%): A specific Fibonacci-style extension of the deep discount.
Level 4 (Red Line - 63%): The "Crash" buy zone. If price hits this, the stock is trading massively below what analysts think it is worth.
4. The Dashboard
On the screen (top right by default), there is a clean table that summarizes everything:
Target: Tells you the exact price analysts are aiming for.
Dist %: Tells you how far away the current price is from that target (e.g., "+20%" means the stock needs to rise 20% to hit the target).
Source: Tells you where it found the data (e.g., "Nasdaq FQ"), so you know if the data is trustworthy.
How an Investor Uses This:
Validation: You want to buy a stock, but you check this tool. If the price is above the dashed Target line, the tool is telling you the stock is effectively "overpriced" compared to Wall Street's expectations.
Entry Points: You are waiting to enter a position. You set limit orders at the Green (90%) or Blue (70%) lines, knowing these are math-based discount levels relative to the company's fundamental valuation.
Summary: It automates the research process of looking up analyst price targets and draws "Sale Price" lines on your chart automatically.
Symmetrical Geometric MandalaSymmetrical Geometric Mandala
Overview
The Symmetrical Geometric Mandala is an advanced geometric trading tool that applies phi (φ) harmonic relationships to price-time analysis. This indicator automatically detects swing ranges and constructs a scale-invariant geometric framework based on the square root of phi (√φ), revealing natural support/resistance zones and harmonic price-time balance points.
Core Concept
Traditional technical analysis often treats price and time as separate dimensions. This indicator harmonizes them using the mathematical constant √φ (approximately 1.272), creating a geometric "squaring" of price and time that remains proportionally consistent across different chart scales.
The Mathematics
When you select a price range (from swing low to swing high or vice versa), the indicator calculates:
PBR (Price-to-Bar Ratio) = Range / Number of Bars
Harmonic PBR = PBR × √φ (1.272019649514069)
Phi Extension = Range × φ (1.618033988749895)
The Harmonic PBR is the critical value - this is the chart scaling factor that creates perfect geometric harmony between price and time for your selected range.
Visual Components
1. Horizontal Boundary Lines
Two horizontal lines extend from the selected range at a distance of Range × φ (golden ratio extension):
Upper line: Extended above the swing high (for uplegs) or swing low (for downlegs)
Lower line: Extended below the swing low (for uplegs) or swing high (for downlegs)
These lines mark the natural harmonic boundaries of the price movement.
2. Rectangle Diagonal Lines
Two diagonal lines that create a "rectangle" effect, connecting:
Overlap points on horizontal boundaries to swing extremes
These lines go in the opposite direction of the price leg (creating the symmetrical mandala pattern)
When extended, they reveal future geometric support/resistance zones
3. Phi Harmonic Circles (Optional)
Two precisely calculated circles (drawn as smooth polylines):
Circle A: Centered at the first swing extreme (Nodal A)
Circle B: Centered at the second swing extreme (Nodal B)
Radius = Range × φ, causing them to perfectly touch the horizontal boundary lines
These circles visualize the geometric harmony and create a mandala-like pattern that reveals natural price zones.
How to Use
Step 1: Select Your Range
Set the Start Date at your swing low or swing high
Set the End Date at the opposite extreme
The indicator automatically detects whether it's an upleg or downleg
Step 2: Read the Harmonic PBR
Check the highlighted yellow row in the table: "PBR × √φ"
This is your chart scaling value
Step 3: Apply Chart Scaling (Optional)
For perfect geometric visualization:
Right-click on your chart's price axis
Select "Scale price chart only"
Enter the PBR × √φ value
The geometry will now display in perfect harmonic proportion
Step 4: Interpret the Geometry
Horizontal lines: Key support/resistance zones at phi extensions
Diagonal lines: Dynamic trend channels and future price-time balance points
Circle intersections: Natural harmonic turning points
Central diamond area: Core price-time equilibrium zone

Theory Background
This indicator draws inspiration from:
W.D. Gann's price-time squaring techniques
Bradley Cowan's geometric market analysis
Phi/golden ratio harmonic theory
Mathematical constants in market structure
Unlike traditional Fibonacci retracements, this tool uses √φ instead of φ as the primary scaling constant, creating a unique geometric relationship that "squares" price movement with time passage.
Best Practices
Use on significant swings - Works best on major swing highs/lows
Multiple timeframe analysis - Apply to different timeframes for confluence
Combine with other tools - Use alongside support/resistance and trend analysis
Respect the geometry - Pay attention when price interacts with geometric elements
Chart scaling optional - The geometry works at any scale, but scaling enhances visualization
Notes
The indicator draws geometry from left to right (from Nodal A to Nodal B)
All lines extend infinitely for future projections
The table shows real-time calculations for the selected range
Date range selection uses confirm dialogs to prevent accidental changes
CDVI – First Crypto Dominance Volatility Index by Armi GoldmanThe Crypto Dominance Volatility Index (CDVI) is the first volatility-based indicator designed specifically to analyze the stability and instability of dominance flows in the crypto market.
Instead of measuring price volatility, CDVI focuses on the volatility of market dominance itself — a structural driver behind capital rotation cycles such as Bitcoin Season, Altseason, accumulation zones, and macro cycle transitions.
CDVI transforms dominance changes into a clear volatility index that highlights compression, expansion, and regime shifts.
How it works
CDVI calculates the absolute or percentage-based realized volatility of your chosen dominance benchmark (BTC.D, TOTAL.D, or any dominance index available on TradingView).
The indicator then:
1. Smooths the volatility curve using adjustable parameters
2. Builds a long-term mean to identify regime structure
3. Computes percentile zones over a rolling lookback window
4. Highlights high-risk and low-risk dominance conditions using color-coded backgrounds
This creates a clean, noise-reduced volatility representation of the dominance market.
Why it looks like this
The CDVI curve is intentionally smooth and cyclical because dominance volatility behaves differently from price volatility:
• Dominance tends to trend slowly, then spike violently during rotation phases
• Periods of prolonged compression often occur before large macro moves
• Volatility bursts cluster during transitions (e.g. BTC → Alts, cycle tops, market-wide repricing)
The percentile zones (90% / 10%) give structural thresholds for extreme conditions.
Background color reveals when dominance volatility enters these extremes, creating visually clear “regime blocks.”
How to interpret CDVI
High CDVI (above the 90th percentile):
• Dominance instability
• Capital rotation phases are active
• Market is repricing sector allocations
• Often appears near Altseason tops or bottoms
• Signals caution for trend traders and opportunity for rotation traders
Low CDVI (below the 10th percentile):
• Compression and calm dominance
• Accumulation and structural balance
• Often precedes major expansions in Bitcoin or Alt markets
• Useful for anticipating cycle transitions before they break out
Long-term mean:
• Helps identify when the market is in a high-vol or low-vol regime
• Crossings around the mean often coincide with early cycle shifts
How to use CDVI in practice
1. Cycle Timing
Use CDVI to detect when the market moves from calm → expansion or expansion → exhaustion.
Low CDVI usually precedes major moves. High CDVI often marks transition turbulence.
2. BTC vs Altcoins Rotation
Combine CDVI with BTC.D / TOTAL2 / TOTAL3 to detect rotation windows.
High CDVI = dominance is unstable → rotations happen.
Low CDVI = dominance is stable → trending environment.
3. Risk Management
High CDVI suggests elevated structural risk (dominance shifting).
Low CDVI supports directional conviction.
4. Confluence with Price
When both price volatility and dominance volatility expand together → macro transition.
When price is volatile but CDVI is flat → noise, not structural change.
Who this indicator is for
• Cycle analysts
• Macro crypto traders
• BTC vs Alts rotation traders
• Portfolio allocators
• Long-term investors looking at structural market phases
CDVI is designed as a clean, structural tool for understanding volatility not of price — but of market power distribution.
Pro Order Flow – NQ 5m/15mThis is a professional-grade order flow tool designed for scalpers and intraday futures traders (especially NQ 5m/15m, ES, SPY, BTC, and gold).
Right-click indicator → Move to new pane below (recommended, so price is clean)
It combines five high-probability institutional signals into one clean, fast indicator:
What This Indicator Shows
1. Candle Delta Histogram (Buyer vs Seller Pressure)
Each bar shows whether aggressive buyers (market orders lifting ask) or aggressive sellers (hitting bid) controlled that candle.
Green = buying pressure
Red = selling pressure
2.Session Cumulative Delta (True Direction)
Tracks buyer/seller domination for the entire session.
Rising cumDelta = buyers absorbing sellers
Falling cumDelta = sellers absorbing buyers
If price goes up but cumulative delta goes down → distribution (short signal)
If price goes down but cumulative delta goes up → accumulation (long signal)
This is one of the strongest institutional signals.
3 Big Delta Bars (Unusual Aggression)
Highlights candles where delta is 2.2× larger than average volume.
These mark:
Institutional absorption
Breakout pressure
Stop-run attacks
Failed breakout reversals
Green = big buying aggression
Red = big selling aggression
4 Smart-Money Wick Absorption (Absorb↑ / Absorb↓)
Tracks wick length vs body size + delta.
Used to detect:
Stop hunts
Liquidity grabs
Reversals off trapped traders
Absorb↓ (triangle up) = buyers absorbed sell-side liquidity (bullish)
Absorb↑ (triangle down) = sellers absorbed buy-side liquidity (bearish)
This is a high-confidence signal for NQ.
5 Real Delta Divergences (Δ Bull / Δ Bear)
Not RSI divergences — order flow divergences:
🔻 Bearish Delta Divergence (Δ Bear)
Price makes higher high
Cumulative delta makes lower high → buyers weakening
High-probability short
🔺 Bullish Delta Divergence (Δ Bull)
Price makes lower low
Cumulative delta makes higher low → sellers weakening
High-probability long
These are professional reversal points.
