Trend following 3 EMA & Bullish Engulfing indicator for ForexHello world,
I now took the time and puzzled through my own indicator.
The idea:
Main "strategy" uses 3 EMAs (8, 13 and 21) to attain trend-relevant information.
Then we look for bullish & bearing engulfing candles which indicate and pullback into trend direction and a gain in momentum.
Trading purpose:
One could now enter with next open. SL at low/high of engulfing candle. TP at e.g. 1.25 of that candles size.
Security:
There are two security functions build in.
We check for higher timeframe confirmation.
This is done by checking if current trend is in accordance with the EMA of the next higher timframe.
Standard-deviation is 3 on default. Can be changed in the inputs.
Alerts:
Until now there is just one alertcondition programmed.
It alerts for every engulfing candle (bullish and bearish).
More will follow in further versions.
Inputs:
I build in multiple inputs.
- switch on/off the security EMA's
- define security trend backcheck
- define the higher timeframe (15min/1h, 1h/240, 4h/D, D/W)
Happy to take feedback or contr.
All the best,

Simple Harmonic Oscillator (SHO)The indicator is based on Akram El Sherbini's article "Time Cycle Oscillators" published in IFTA journal 2018 (pages 78-80) (www.ftaa.org.hk)
The SHO is a bounded oscillator for the simple harmonic index that calculates the period of the market’s cycle. The oscillator is used for short and intermediate terms and moves within a range of -100 to 100 percent. The SHO has overbought and oversold levels at +40 and -40, respectively. At extreme periods, the oscillator may reach the levels of +60 and -60. The zero level demonstrates an equilibrium between the periods of bulls and bears. The SHO oscillates between +40 and -40. The crossover at those levels creates buy and sell signals. In an uptrend, the SHO fluctuates between 0 and +40 where the bulls are controlling the market. On the contrary, the SHO fluctuates between 0 and -40 during downtrends where the bears control the market. Reaching the extreme level -60 in an uptrend is a sign of weakness. Mostly, the oscillator will retrace from its centerline rather than the upper boundary +40. On the other hand, reaching +60 in a downtrend is a sign of strength and the oscillator will not be able to reach its lower boundary -40.
Centerline Crossover Tactic
This tactic is tested during uptrends. The buy signals are generated when the WPO/SHI cross their centerlines to the upside. The sell signals are generated when the WPO/SHI cross down their centerlines. To define the uptrend in the system, stocks closing above their 50-day EMA are considered while the ADX is above 18.
Uptrend Tactic
During uptrends, the bulls control the markets, and the oscillators will move above their centerline with an increase in the period of cycles. The lower boundaries and equilibrium line crossovers generate buy signals, while crossing the upper boundaries will generate sell signals. The “Re-entry” and “Exit at weakness” tactics are combined with the uptrend tactic. Consequently, we will have three buy signals and two sell signals.
Sideways Tactic
During sideways, the oscillators fluctuate between their upper and lower boundaries. Crossing the lower boundary to the upside will generate a buy signal. On the other hand, crossing the upper boundary to the downside will generate a sell signal. When the bears take control, the oscillators will cross down the lower boundaries, triggering exit signals. Therefore, this tactic will consist of one buy signal and two sell signals. The sideway tactic is defined when stocks close above their 50-day EMA and the ADX is below 18
Delta Volume Candles [LucF]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator plots on-chart volume delta information using candles that can replace your normal candles, tops and bottoms appended to normal candles, optional MAs of those tops and bottoms levels, a divergence channel and a chart background. The indicator calculates volume delta using intrabar analysis, meaning that it uses the lower timeframe bars constituting each chart bar.
█ CONCEPTS
Volume Delta
The volume delta concept divides a bar's volume in "up" and "down" volumes. The delta is calculated by subtracting down volume from up volume. Many calculation techniques exist to isolate up and down volume within a bar. The simplest use the polarity of interbar price changes to assign their volume to up or down slots, e.g., On Balance Volume or the Klinger Oscillator . Others such as Chaikin Money Flow use assumptions based on a bar's OHLC values. The most precise calculation method uses tick data and assigns the volume of each tick to the up or down slot depending on whether the transaction occurs at the bid or ask price. While this technique is ideal, it requires huge amounts of data on historical bars, which considerably limits the historical depth of charts and the number of symbols for which tick data is available. Furthermore, historical tick data is not yet available on TradingView.
This indicator uses intrabar analysis to achieve a compromise between the simplest and most precise methods of calculating volume delta. It is currently the most precise method usable on TradingView charts. TradingView's Volume Profile built-in indicators use it, as do the CVD - Cumulative Volume Delta Candles and CVD - Cumulative Volume Delta (Chart) indicators published from the TradingView account . My Delta Volume Channels and Volume Delta Columns Pro indicators also use intrabar analysis. Other volume delta indicators such as my Realtime 5D Profile use realtime chart updates to calculate volume delta without intrabar analysis, but that type of indicator only works in real time; they cannot calculate on historical bars.
This is the logic I use to determine the polarity of intrabars, which determines the up or down slot where its volume is added:
• If the intrabar's open and close values are different, their relative position is used.
• If the intrabar's open and close values are the same, the difference between the intrabar's close and the previous intrabar's close is used.
• As a last resort, when there is no movement during an intrabar, and it closes at the same price as the previous intrabar, the last known polarity is used.
Once all intrabars making up a chart bar have been analyzed and the up or down property of each intrabar's volume determined, the up volumes are added, and the down volumes subtracted. The resulting value is volume delta for that chart bar, which can be used as an estimate of the buying/selling pressure on an instrument. Not all markets have volume information. Without it, this indicator is useless.
Intrabar analysis
Intrabars are chart bars at a lower timeframe than the chart's. The timeframe used to access intrabars determines the number of intrabars accessible for each chart bar. On a 1H chart, each chart bar of an active market will, for example, usually contain 60 bars at the lower timeframe of 1min, provided there was market activity during each minute of the hour.
This indicator automatically calculates an appropriate lower timeframe using the chart's timeframe and the settings you use in the script's "Intrabars" section of the inputs. As it can access lower timeframes as small as seconds when available, the indicator can be used on charts at relatively small timeframes such as 1min, provided the market is active enough to produce bars at second timeframes.
The quantity of intrabars analyzed in each chart bar determines:
• The precision of calculations (more intrabars yield more precise results).
• The chart coverage of calculations (there is a 100K limit to the quantity of intrabars that can be analyzed on any chart,
so the more intrabars you analyze per chart bar, the less chart bars can be calculated by the indicator).
The information box displayed at the bottom right of the chart shows the lower timeframe used for intrabars, as well as the average number of intrabars detected for chart bars and statistics on chart coverage.
Balances
This indicator calculates five balances from volume delta values. The balances are oscillators with a zero centerline; positive values are bullish, and negative values are bearish. It is important to understand the balances as they can be used to:
• Color candle bodies.
• Calculate body and top and bottom divergences.
• Color an EMA channel.
• Color the chart's background.
• Configure markers and alerts.
The five balances are:
1 — Bar Balance : This is the only balance using instant values; it is simply the subtraction of the down volume from the up volume on the bar, so the instant volume delta for that bar.
2 — Average Balance : Calculates a distinct EMA for both the up and down volumes, and subtracts the down EMA from the up EMA.
The result is akin to MACD's histogram because it is the subtraction of two moving averages.
3 — Momentum Balance : Starts by calculating, separately for both up and down volumes, the difference between the same EMAs used in "Average Balance" and
an SMA of twice the period used for the "Average Balance" EMAs. The difference for the up side is subtracted from the difference for the down side,
and an RSI of that value is calculated and brought over the −50/+50 scale.
4 — Relative Balance : The reference values used in the calculation are the up and down EMAs used in the "Average Balance".
From those, we calculate two intermediate values using how much the instant up and down volumes on the bar exceed their respective EMA — but with a twist.
If the bar's up volume does not exceed the EMA of up volume, a zero value is used. The same goes for the down volume with the EMA of down volume.
Once we have our two intermediate values for the up and down volumes exceeding their respective MA, we subtract them. The final value is an ALMA of that subtraction.
The rationale behind using zero values when the bar's up/down volume does not exceed its EMA is to only take into account the more significant volume.
If both instant volume values exceed their MA, then the difference between the two is the signal's value.
The signal is called "relative" because the intermediate values are the difference between the instant up/down volumes and their respective MA.
This balance flatlines when the bar's up/down volumes do not exceed their EMAs, which makes it useful to spot areas where trader interest dwindles, such as consolidations.
The smaller the period of the final value's ALMA, the more easily it will flatline. These flat zones should be considered no-trade zones.
5 — Percent Balance : This balance is the ALMA of the ratio of the "Bar Balance" over the total volume for that bar.
From the balances and marker conditions, two more values are calculated:
1 — Marker Bias : This sums the up/down (+1/‒1) occurrences of the markers 1 to 4 over a period you define, so it ranges from −4 to +4, times the period.
Its calculation will depend on the modes used to calculate markers 3 and 4.
2 — Combined Balances : This is the sum of the bull/bear (+1/−1) states of each of the five balances, so it ranges from −5 to +5.
The periods for all of these balances can be configured in the "Periods" section at the bottom of the script's inputs. As you cannot see the balances on the chart, you can use my Volume Delta Columns Pro indicator in a pane; it can plot the same balances, so you will be able to analyze them.
Divergences
In the context of this indicator, a divergence is any bar where the bear/bull state of a balance (above/below its zero centerline) diverges from the polarity of a chart bar. No directional bias is assigned to divergences when they occur. Candle bodies and tops/bottoms can each be colored differently on divergences detected from distinct balances.
Divergence Channel
The divergence channel is the space between two levels (by default, the bar's open and close ) saved when divergences occur. When price (by default the close ) has breached a channel and a new divergence occurs, a new channel is created. Until that new channel is breached, bars where additional divergences occur will expand the channel's levels if the bar's price points are outside the channel.
Prices breaches of the divergence channel will change its state. Divergence channels can be in one of three different states:
• Bull (green): Price has breached the channel to the upside.
• Bear (red): Price has breached the channel to the downside.
• Neutral (gray): The channel has not yet been breached.
█ HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
I do not make videos to explain how to use my indicators. I do, however, try hard to include in their description everything one needs to understand what they do. From there, it's up to you to explore and figure out if they can be useful in your trading practice. Communicating in videos what this description and the script's tooltips contain would make for very long videos that would likely exceed the attention span of most people who find this description too long. There is no quick way to understand an indicator such as this one because it uses many different concepts and has quite a bit of settings one can use to modify its visuals and behavior — thus how one uses it. I will happily answer questions on the inner workings of the indicator, but I do not answer questions like "How do I trade using this indicator?" A useful answer to that question would require an in-depth analysis of who you are, your trading methodology and objectives, which I do not have time for. I do not teach trading.
Start by loading the indicator on an active chart containing volume information. See here if you need help.
The default configuration displays:
• Normal candles where the bodies are only colored if the bar's volume has increased since the last bar.
If you want to use this indicator's candles, you may want to disable your chart's candles by clicking the eye icon to the right of the symbol's name in the top left of the chart.
• A top or bottom appended to the normal candles. It represents the difference between up and down volume for that bar
and is positioned at the top or bottom, depending on its polarity. If up volume is greater than down volume, a top is displayed. If down volume is greater, a bottom is plotted.
The size of tops and bottoms is determined by calculating a factor which is the proportion of volume delta over the bar's total volume.
That factor is then used to calculate the top or bottom size relative to a baseline of the average candle body size of the last 100 bars.
• An information box in the bottom right displaying intrabar and chart coverage information.
• A light red background when the intrabar volume differs from the chart's volume by more than 1%.
The script's inputs contain tooltips explaining most of the fields. I will not repeat them here. Following is a brief description of each section of the indicator's inputs which will give you an idea of what the indicator can do:
Normal Candles is where you configure the replacement candles plotted by the script. You can choose from different coloring schemes for their bodies and specify a unique color for bodies where a divergence calculated using the method you choose occurs.
Volume Tops & Botttoms is where you configure the display of tops and bottoms, and their EMAs. The EMAs are calculated from the high point of tops and the low point of bottoms. They can act as a channel to evaluate price, and you can choose to color the channel using a gradient reflecting the advances/declines in the balance of your choice.
Divergence Channel is where you set up the appearance and behavior of the divergence channel. These areas represent levels where price and volume delta information do not converge. They can be interpreted as regions with no clear direction from where one will look for breaches. You can configure the channel to take into account one or both types of divergences you have configured for candle bodies and tops/bottoms.
Background allows you to configure a gradient background color that reflects the advances/declines in the balance of your choice. You can use this to provide context to the volume delta values from bars. You can also control the background color displayed on volume discrepancies between the intrabar and the chart's timeframe.
Intrabars is where you choose the calculation mode determining the lower timeframe used to access intrabars. The indicator uses the chart's timeframe and the type of market you are on to calculate the lower timeframe. Your setting there should reflect which compromise you prefer between the precision of calculations and chart coverage. This is also where you control the display of the information box in the lower right corner of the chart.
Markers allows you to control the plotting of chart markers on different conditions. Their configuration determines when alerts generated from the indicator will fire. Note that in order to generate alerts from this script, they must be created from your chart. See this Help Center page to learn how. Only the last 500 markers will be visible on the chart, but this will not affect the generation of alerts.
Periods is where you configure the periods for the balances and the EMAs used in the indicator.
The raw values calculated by this script can be inspected using the Data Window.
█ INTERPRETATION
Rightly or wrongly, volume delta is considered by many a useful complement to the interpretation of price action. I use it extensively in an attempt to find convergence between my read of volume delta and price movement — not so much as a predictor of future price movement. No system or person can predict the future. Accordingly, I consider people who speak or act as if they know the future with certainty to be dangerous to themselves and others; they are charlatans, imprudent or blissfully ignorant.
I try to avoid elaborate volume delta interpretation schemes involving too many variables and prefer to keep things simple:
• Trends that have more chances of continuing should be accompanied by VD of the same polarity.
In trends, I am looking for "slow and steady". I work from the assumption that traders and systems often overreact, which translates into unproductive volatility.
Wild trends are more susceptible to overreactions.
• I prefer steady VD values over wildly increasing ones, as large VD increases often come with increased price volatility, which can backfire.
Large VD values caused by stopping volume will also often occur on trend reversals with abnormally high candles.
• Prices escaping divergence channels may be leading a trend in that direction, although there is no telling how long that trend will last; could be just a few bars or hundreds.
When price is in a channel, shifts in VD balances can sometimes give us an idea of the direction where price has the most chance of breaking.
• Dwindling VD will often indicate trend exhaustion and predate reversals by many bars, but the problem is that mere pauses in a trend will often produce the same behavior in VD.
I think it is too perilous to infer rigidly from VD decreases.
Divergence Channel
Here I have configured the divergence channels to be visible. First, I set the bodies to display divergences on the default Bar Balance. They are indicated by yellow bodies. Then I activated the divergence channels by choosing to draw levels on body divergences and checked the "Fill" checkbox to fill the channel with the same color as the levels. The divergence channel is best understood as a direction-less area from where a breach can be acted on if other variables converge with the breach's direction:
Tops and Bottoms EMAs
I find these EMAs rather interesting. They have no equivalent elsewhere, as they are calculated from the top and bottom values this indicator plots. The only similarity they have with volume-weighted MAs, including VWAP, is that they use price and volume. This indicator's Tops and Bottoms EMAs, however, use the price and volume delta. While the channel differs from other channels in how it is calculated, it can be used like others, as a baseline from which to evaluate price movement or, alternatively, as stop levels. Remember that you can change the period used for the EMAs in the "Periods" section of the inputs.
This chart shows the EMAs in action, filled with a gradient representing the advances/decline from the Momentum balance. Notice the anomaly in the chart's latest bars where the Momentum balance gradient has been indicating a bullish bias for some time, during which price was mostly below the EMAs. Price has just broken above the channel on positive VD. My interpretation of this situation would be that it is a risky opportunity for a long trade in the larger context where the market has been in a downtrend since the 5th. Intrepid traders choosing to enter here could do so with a "make or break" tight stop that will minimize their losses should the market continue its downtrend while hopefully preserving the potential upside of price continuing on the longer-term uptrend prevalent since the 28th:
█ NOTES
Volume
If you use indicators such as this one which depends on volume information, it is important to realize that the volume data they consume comes from data feeds, and that all data feeds are NOT created equally. Those who create the data feeds we use must make decisions concerning the nature of the transactions they tally and the way they are tallied in each feed, and these decisions affect the nature of our volume data. My Volume X-ray publication discusses some of the reasons why volume information from different timeframes, brokers/exchanges or sectors may vary considerably. I encourage you to read it. This indicator's display of a warning through a background color on volume discrepancies between the timeframe used to access intrabars and the chart's timeframe is an attempt to help you realize these variations in feeds. Don't take things for granted, and understand that the quality of a given feed's volume information affects the quality of the results this indicator calculates.
Markets as ecosystems
I believe it is perilous to think that behavioral patterns you discover in one market through the lens of this or any other indicator will necessarily port to other markets. While this may sometimes be the case, it will often not. Why is that? Because each market is its own ecosystem. As cities do, all markets share some common characteristics, but they also all have their idiosyncrasies. A proportion of a city's inhabitants is always composed of outsiders who come and go, but a core population of regulars and systems is usually the force that actually defines most of the city's observable characteristics. I believe markets work somewhat the same way; they may look the same, but if you live there for a while and pay attention, you will notice the idiosyncrasies. Some things that work in some markets will, accordingly, not work in others. Please keep that in mind when you draw conclusions.
On Up/Down or Buy/Sell Volume
Buying or selling volume are misnomers, as every unit of volume transacted is both bought and sold by two different traders. While this does not keep me from using the terms, there is no such thing as “buy only” or “sell only” volume. Trader lingo is riddled with peculiarities. Without access to order book information, traders work with the assumption that when price moves up during a bar, there was more buying pressure than selling pressure, just as when buy market orders take out limit ask orders in the order book at successively higher levels. The built-in volume indicator available on TradingView uses this logic to color the volume columns green or red. While this script’s calculations are more precise because it analyses intrabars to calculate its information, it uses pretty much the same imperfect logic. Until Pine scripts can have access to how much volume was transacted at the bid/ask prices, our volume delta calculations will remain a mere proxy.
Repainting
• The values calculated on the realtime bar will update as new information comes from the feed.
• Historical values may recalculate if the historical feed is updated or when calculations start from a new point in history.
• Markers and alerts will not repaint as they only occur on a bar's close. Keep this in mind when viewing markers on historical bars,
where one could understandably and incorrectly assume they appear at the bar's open.
To learn more about repainting, see the Pine Script™ User Manual's page on the subject .
Superfluity
In "The Bed of Procrustes", Nassim Nicholas Taleb writes: To bankrupt a fool, give him information . This indicator can display a lot of information. The inevitable adaptation period you will need to figure out how to use it should help you eliminate all the visuals you do not need. The more you eliminate, the easier it will be to focus on those that are the most useful to your trading practice. Don't be a fool.
█ THANKS
Thanks to alexgrover for his Dekidaka-Ashi indicator. His volume plots on candles were the inspiration for my top/bottom plots.
Kudos to PineCoders for their libraries. I use two of them in this script: Time and lower_tf .
The first versions of this script used functionality that I would not have known about were it not for these two guys:
— A guy called Kuan who commented on a Backtest Rookies presentation of their Volume Profile indicator.
— theheirophant , my partner in the exploration of the sometimes weird abysses of request.security() ’s behavior at lower timeframes.
Multi Timeframe ADX and DI w/ AlertsThis script is based off the public DMI code and used to get a quick visual of trend and direction across 3 different timeframes. Alert conditions have been setup for trend changes to bull/bear for all 3 timeframes. This script is meant to pull together the concepts of multi-time frame indicators, custom functions, and custom alert conditions.
The primary instructions for this script was to find a version of the ADX Indicator and give it the same treatment as we did with the Heiken Ashi demo (displaying green/red/gray circles to indicate trend and direction) over a configurable time frame. Display a matrix of each timeframe and the corresponding directional color (green=bull, red=bear, gray=non-trending). Have it produce an alert when the state of indicator changes to either bull or bear.
Commercial Movement Index-BuschiEnglish
Inspired by the book "The Commitments of Traders Bible" by Stephen Briese, this indicator is a follow-up of my already published "Commercial Index-Buschi".
Here, the Commercial Index isn't shown in values from 0 to 100, but in how far the value changed from a given timeframe (default Movement Reference: 6 weeks). Therefore it ranges from 100 (bullish move from the Commercials during the last weeks) to -100 (bearish move).
Deutsch
Inspiriert durch das Buch "The Commitments of Traders Bible" by Stephen Briese, ist dieser Indikator eine Weiterentwicklung meines bereits veröffentlichten Skriptes "Commercial Index-Buschi".
Hier wird der Commercial Index nicht in Werten von 0 bis 100 angezeigt, sondern in wieweit er sich innerhalb eines vorgegebenen Zeitfensters (Standard: Movement Reference: 6 Wochen) verändert hat. Daher schwankt er zwischen 100 (bullishe Bewegung der Commercials innerhalb der letzten Wochen) und -100 (bearishe Bewegung).
How To Use Dynamic ZonesExample of how to apply and use Dynamic Zones with an indicator by injecting it's source into my adaptation of the original idea by Leo Zamansky, Ph.D., and David Stendahl.
• Load your desired oscillating indicator on your chart (CCI, RSI, etc).
• Load my "How To Use Dynamic Zones" indicator on your chart.
• In the "How To Use Dynamic Zones" indicator settings choose your desired oscillating indicator as the Oscillator Source.
You will now have dynamic overbought and oversold levels. I have also included alerts which may be used to indicate when these conditions occur.
If desired you may repeat the above process by loading additional indicators along with additional copies of my indicator to use with each oscillator.
Oscillator Source: CLOSE uses your chosen indicator as a source or you may use price as a source
Sample Length: 70 uses number of previous values for evaluating
Hi is Above X% of Sample: 88 sets overbought zone
Lo is Below X% of Sample: 88 sets oversold zone
The simplest explanation of what these default settings are doing is that they take 70 previous values of your chosen indicator, then create an overbought level that is above 88% of those previous values and an oversold level that is below 88% of those previous values. As new bars form the levels are dynamically reevaluated and updated.

"This investing style follows a very simple form of logic: Enter the market only when an oscillator has moved far above or below traditional trading levels. However, these oscillator driven systems lack the ability to evolve with the market because they use fixed buy and sell zones. Traders typically use one set of buy and sell zones for a bull market and substantially different zones for a bear market. And therein lies the problem.
Once traders begin introducing their market opinions into trading equations, by changing the zones, they negate the system’s mechanical nature. The objective is to have a system automatically define its own buy and sell zones and thereby profitably trade in any market — bull or bear. Dynamic zones offer a solution to the problem of fixed buy and sell zones for any oscillator-driven system."

10/5 Weekly/Daily EMAs with ConfirmationsPlots Daily and Weekly 10 & 5 EMAs (but fully customizable to your own).
In addition to plotting the EMAs it color coordinates trend bias and has cross confirmation signals.
Philosophy and how to read:
I use this indicator when trading strictly on the daily timeframe. I have not tested it on other timeframes.
In my trade system I start with both the monthly and weekly charts to define overall bias.
Here’s the general rule of thumb.
10 EMA is direction (bias) and 5 EMA is price.
If 5EMA is below 10EMA there is a bear bias. If 5EMA is above 10EMA there is a bull bias.
This indicator will plot both the daily and weekly 10 & 5 EMAs.
It will also color code the background based on how these EMAs relate to each other.
Light red typically is just the daily is confirmed bear (typically because it could be either or)
Dark red, both daily and weekly in confirmed bear.
Light green, typically just daily is confirmed bull (typically because it could be either or)
Dark green, both daily and weekly in confirmed bull.
In addition to background highlight there is confirmation crosses.
The daily confirmation cross is default yellow triangle.
Down triangle is 5 crossing the 10 downward.
Up triangle is the 5 crossing the 10 upward.
The weekly confirmation is the same only is aqua color.
Generally, on a color change you want to see one or both confirmation in the direction of the bias change.
If you only want to plot the daily bias in the options unclick the setting: Include Weekly Background Plotting. Unclicking this will remove the background coloring for the weekly bias. This might be helpful if you only want to see the strength of what the weekly timeframe is telling you.
Also, I’m primarily a trend trader but I also do have a reversal system I trade with lower R:R parameters.
A good reversal confirmation signal I’ve noticed is the instrument that you are trading should go through a cycle of light color to dark color.
You could also create alerts with this indicator based on just signals. When the signal fires the value will be 1.
Future Updates:
I want to find some way to correlate the distance between these EMAs to enhance the signal. Also to include a velocity component. Plus a few more things.

Two Bar Break Line Alerts R1.0 by JustUncleLThis indicator with default settings is designed for BINARY OPTIONS trading. The indicator can also be used for Forex trading with some setting changes. The script shows Two Bar Pullback Break lines and alerts when those Break lines are Touched (broken) creating a short term momentum entry condition.
For a Bullish Break (Green Up Arrow) to occur: first must have two (or three) consecutive bear (red) candles which is followed by a bull (green) candle creating a pivot point. The breakout occurs then the High of the current Bull (green) exceeds the highest point of the previous two (or three) pivotal bear candles. The green channel Line shows where the current Bullish BreakOut occurs.
For a Bearish Break (Red Down Arrow) to occur: first must have two (or three) consecutive bull (green) candles which is followed by a bear (red) candle creating a pivot point. The breakout occurs when the Low of the current Bear (red) drops below the lowest point of the previous two (or three) pivotal Bull candles. The red channel Line shows where the current Bearish BreakOut occurs.
The break Line Arrows can optionally be filtered by the Coloured MA (enabled by default), a longer term directional MA (disabled by default) and/or a MACD condition (enabled by default) as a momentum filter.
You can optionally select three Bar break lines instead of two. The three bar break lines are actually equivalent to Guppy's Three Bar Count Back Line method for trade entries (see Guppy's video reference below).
Included in this indicator is an ability to display some basic Binary Option statistics, when enabled (enabled by default) it shows Successful Bars in Yellow and failed Bars in Black and the last Nine numbers on the script title line represent the Binary option Statistics in order:
%ITM rate
Total orders
Successful Orders
Failed Orders
Total candles tested
Candles per Day
Trades per Day
Max Consecutive Wins
Max Consecutive Losses
You can start the Binary Option statistics from a specific Date, which is handy for checking more recent history.
HINTS:
BINARY OPTIONS trading: use 5min, 15m, 1hr or even Daily charts. Trade after the price touches one of the Breakout lines and the Arrow first appears. Wait for the price to come back from Break Line by 1 or 2 pips, the alert arrow must stay on and candle change to black, then take Binary trade expiry End of Candle. If price pull back and arrow turns off, don't trade this candle, move on you probably don't have momentum, there will be plenty of other trigger events. The backtesting results are good with ITM rates 65% to 72% on many currency pairs, commodities and indices. Realtime trading has confirmed the backtesting results and they could even be bettered, provided you are selective on which signals to trade (strong MACD support etc), that you are patient and disciplined to this trading method.
FOREX trading: the default settings should work with scalping. For longer term trades try with settings change to a more standard MACD filter or slower to catch the longer term momentum swings and the idea would be to trade the first Break Line alert that occurs after a decent Pullback in the direction of the trend. Setting the SL to just above/below the Pivot High/Low and set target to two or three times SL.

NG [Simple Harmonic Oscillator]The SHO is a bounded oscillator for the simple harmonic index that calculates the period of the market’s cycle.
The oscillator is used for short and intermediate terms and moves within a range of -100 to 100 percent.
The SHO has overbought and oversold levels at +40 and -40, respectively.
At extreme periods, the oscillator may reach the levels of +60 and -60.
The zero level demonstrates an equilibrium between the periods of bulls and bears.
The SHO oscillates between +40 and -40.
The crossover at those levels creates buy and sell signals.
In an uptrend, the SHO fluctuates between 0 and +40 where the bulls are controlling the market.
On the contrary, the SHO fluctuates between 0 and -40 during downtrends where the bears controlthe market.
Reaching the extreme level -60 in an uptrend is a sign of weakness.
Force Index with Buy on Dip strategyThis charts has 2 indicators
1 - Force Index
This indicator is based on Dr Alexander Elder ForceIndex indicator with relate price to volume by multiplying net change and volume.
- GREEN Bar indicates Bull is in control
- RED Bar indicates Bear is in control.
LENGTH of the bar indicate the strength of Bull or Bear.
Normally there's potential BUY if the RED bar turned GREEN and SELL if GREEN to RED.
2 - Stochastic momentum
Stochastic momentum is to detect potential Reversal where BLUE bar will appear if :-
- Oversold - Stochastic less than 35
- Closing price is higher than last 2 High (Fast Turtle)
// Note : Best use with "EMA Indicators with BUY sell Signal"
Hersheys Volume Pressure v1Hersheys Volume Pressure gives you very nice confirmation of trend starts and stops using volume and price.
For up bars...
If you have a large price range with low volume, that's very bullish.
If you have a small price range with low volume, that's bullish.
For down bars...
If you have a large price range with low volume, that's very bearish.
If you have a small price range with low volume, that's bearish.
Look at the chart and you'll see how trends start and end with a PINCH and widen in the middle of the moves.
Hersheys Volume Pressure is unique, in that it measures bull/bear pressure on each bar by itself. Other volume indicators like On Balnce Volume and Price Volume Trend use cumulative differences in the current and previous bar to show trends.
You can set the moving average period, 14 is the default.
Good trading!

Murrey Math Extremes ComparatorHOW IT WORKS
Creates two murrey math oscillators (hidden) one with 256 length another with 32 length and compare each other.
WHAT GIVE ME THIS SCRIPT
The script can give you very valuable information:
- Main Trend
- Pullbacks detections
- Extreme overbought oversold prices alerts
- Divergences
- Any timeframe usage
REFERENCES OF USAGE
Main Trend Indications
****The main trend is indicated with green(bull) or red(bears) small "triangles" on the bottom(bull) or the top(bears) of the chart.
*****To detect the Bull/Bear major trend the script use 256 murrey, if > 0 (green) we are uptrend in other cases we are downtrend
Pullback detection
****The pullbacks are indicated with Green(bull) or red(bears) medium "Arrows"
*****To detect pullbacks the system compare the long term murrey with the short term murrey, if long term is Green(green triangles)
*****so we are in a main bull trend, if the short term murrey make an extreme low then the pullback is indicated
*****The same for the short pullback, if long term murrey is RED and we have an extreme green short term murrey we shot a red arrow
Extreme Overbught/Oversold
****The extreme OO is indicated with fancy diamonds
*****To detect the Extremes price movements we combine the two murrey, if Long Term Murrey is overbought and short term murrey too
*****Then the diamond show on the screen obove or below based on the extreme if overbought or oversold
Strategy Resume:
Triangles indicate Major Trend Up/Down
Arrows Indicate Continuation pullbacks
Diamonds Indicate Extreme Prices

: Volume Zone Oscillator & Price Zone Oscillator LB Update JRMThis is a simple update of Lazy Bear's " Indicators: Volume Zone Indicator & Price Zone Indicator" Script. PZO plots on the same indicator. The horizontal plot lines are taken primarily from two articles by Wahalil and Steckler "In The Volume Zone" May 2011, Stocks and Commodities and "Entering The Price Zone"June 2011, Stocks and Commodities. With both indicators on the same plot it is easier to see divergences between the indicators. I did add a plot line at 80 and -80 as well because that is getting into truly extreme price/volume territory where one might contemplate a close your eyes and sell or cover particularly if confirmed at a higher time frame with the expectation of some type of corrective move..
The inputs and plot lines can be edited as per Lazy Bear's original script and follows the original format. Many thanks to Lazy Bear.
Premium Bands with Advanced Reversion System [nFinans]📝 Description { Premium Bands with Advanced Reversion System }
Premium Bands is the result of 3 years of extensive research, backtesting, and optimization, designed to go beyond the limitations of standard Bollinger Bands or Keltner Channels.
While traditional bands often suffer from lag or produce too much noise in ranging markets, this script utilizes a dynamic volatility model based on WMA (Weighted Moving Average) and ATR (Average True Range) to minimize lag and identify high-probability reversal points.
1. Why is it Different? (The "Why")
Standard bands usually rely on Simple Moving Averages (SMA), which react slowly to price changes. Premium Bands was developed to solve specific issues identified over a 3-year study period:
Lag Reduction: By replacing the standard SMA with WMA, the bands adapt much faster to sudden trend changes and price spikes.
Dynamic Volatility: Instead of a fixed standard deviation, it uses an ATR-based expansion/contraction mechanism to handle market shocks more effectively.
Mean Reversion Logic: It doesn't just signal when price touches a band; it uses a custom oscillator logic to filter for the highest probability "return-to-center" moments.
(Image: General structure of Premium Bands showing trend tracking and volatility adaptation)
2. Technical Features & Signals
The script is optimized for visual clarity:
🚀 Reversion Signals (Arrows):
▲ Green Arrow: Appears when price tests the lower band and gains upward momentum (Bullish Mean Reversion).
▼ Red Arrow: Appears when price enters the upper band "overbought" zone and faces downward pressure (Bearish Rejection).
(Image: WMA-based smoothing allows for earlier detection of reversals compared to standard bands)
3. How to Use
This indicator can be used as a standalone system or combined with Price Action concepts.
Trend Following: Pay attention to the Mid Band color. If it is Green, the trend is bullish. If it is Red, the trend is bearish. The Mid Band acts as dynamic support/resistance.
Reversion Trading (Scalping): When price extends beyond the bands (+3 SD or -3 SD) and a reversal arrow appears, a trade back towards the Mid Band can be anticipated.
(Image: Reversal Line, earlier detection of reversals)
4. Settings
Lookback Period: Sets the calculation period (Default: 21).
Standard Deviation: Adjusts the channel width. We recommend 3 for volatile for crypto markets/stocks. and 2 for traditional forex

CSA Infinity BridgeCSA Infinity Bridge - 14-Indicator Consensus Dashboard
Description
- CSA Infinity Bridge is a proprietary multi-indicator consensus system that analyzes 14 technical indicators simultaneously and displays their collective agreement in a real-time dashboard. The indicator provides clear LONG, SHORT, or NEUTRAL signals based on mathematical consensus, eliminating subjective interpretation.
Core Innovation
- Unlike single indicators requiring interpretation, this tool synthesizes signals from Heikin Ashi, SuperTrend, Momentum, CCI, MFI, DMI, CMO, RSI+TTM, Zero-Lag MACD, ROC, SMA50, and specialized combinations into a unified market state classification.
Key Features
- 14 independent technical indicators analyzed per bar
- Real-time consensus dashboard with color-coded Bull/Bear readings
- 5-tier market state classification (Bullish, Trending ↑, Neutral, Chop, Trending ↓, Bearish)
- TOTAL column displays agreement count (out of 14) showing conviction level
- STATE column provides clear LONG/SHORT/NEUTRAL recommendations
- Built-in alerts for strong consensus (11+) and state changes
- Customizable dashboard size (Tiny to Huge)
- Optional dashboard placement (Top Right, Bottom Right, Bottom Center, Top Center)
What Makes It Unique
- The consensus engine quantifies market conviction with a simple number: when 11+ indicators agree, high-probability setups appear. When agreement drops below 8, the system warns to reduce exposure or stay flat. This creates a rules-based framework eliminating emotional trading decisions. The flexible dashboard positioning allows seamless integration into any chart layout without obstructing price action.
Ideal For
- Day traders and scalpers on futures markets (MNQ, MES, MYM, MGC, MCL) who need objective signals based on multi-indicator confirmation. Works on any instrument and timeframe, optimized for 1-5 minute scalping.
How to Use
Setup:
- Add indicator to chart and customize dashboard size and position. Enable alerts for "Strong Bullish", "Strong Bearish", "LONG Signal", and "SHORT Signal".
Dashboard Columns:
- Individual cells show Bull/Bear for each of 14 indicators
- TREND shows market state (Bullish/Trending/Neutral/Chop)
- STATE shows trade recommendation (LONG/SHORT/NEUTRAL)
- TOTAL shows agreement count with color coding (green 10+, orange 7-9, gray <7)
Signal Interpretation:
- 11-14 Agreement: High-probability setups, use full position size
- 8-10 Agreement: Medium probability, use 50-75% size
- 6-7 Agreement: Low probability, scalp only or avoid
- 5 Agreement: Chop zone, stay flat
Entry Strategy:
- Enter LONG when TOTAL reaches 11+ with STATE showing LONG. Enter SHORT when TOTAL reaches 11+ with STATE showing SHORT. Use stops 10-15 ticks beyond recent swing points.
Exit Strategy:
- Exit when TOTAL drops to 7 or below, or when STATE changes to opposite direction. Take partial profits at 2R, trail remainder.
Risk Management:
- Position sizing: 100% at 12-14 agreement, 75% at 10-11, 50% at 8-9, avoid below 8. Never risk more than 1% per trade.
Best Timeframes:
- 1-min (scalping), 3-min (quick day trades), 5-min (standard day trading), 15-min (swing entries).
BK AK-Flag Formations🏴☠️ BK AK-Flag Formations — Continuation Structure, Tactical Readability. 🏴☠️
Built for traders who press momentum with discipline: it finds flagpoles + flags/pennants, validates the structure, draws the boundaries, and labels it in a way you can act on without clutter.
🎖️ Full Credit — Foundation Engine (Trendoscope)
Original foundation (Trendoscope Flags & Pennants):
The core detection engine (multi-zigzag swing extraction, pivot logic, validation/classification framework, and base drawing architecture) is by Trendoscope.
This script keeps that engine intact. My work adds a tactical execution layer: short tags + tooltip briefing + alert routing + forward border projection.
✅ What This Script Does
This indicator hunts continuation formations after an impulse move, and outputs three things:
Detects the pole (impulse leg) and the consolidation that follows
Classifies the consolidation as a Flag or Pennant, and assigns a bias (Bull/Bear/Neutral) based on context
Draws the structure and labels it cleanly, with optional hover briefings and filtered alerts
You get continuation structure across multiple sensitivities, so it can catch tight flags and larger, slower continuations without changing settings every chart.
🔍 How It Detects (So You Know It’s Not Random)
This is not “pattern art.” It’s rule-based swing logic + geometry:
1) Multi-Zigzag Sweep (micro → macro)
The script runs multiple zigzag levels (up to 4) to extract swings at different sensitivities.
That means the same market is scanned for both:
short, fast consolidations
larger, cleaner consolidations
2) Impulse + Consolidation Validation
After swings are extracted, the engine checks:
that the move qualifies as an impulse “pole”
that the consolidation stays within a controlled retracement window (your Max Retracement control)
that the consolidation geometry is coherent enough to be classified (tolerance controlled by Error Threshold and Flat Threshold)
3) Optional Quality Filters (you control strictness)
Verify Bar Ratio: checks proportion/spacing of pivots, not just price shape
Avoid Overlap: prevents stacking new patterns on top of existing ones
Max Patterns: hard cap so the chart stays readable
Repaint option: allows refinement if better coordinates form (useful for real-time traders)
🧩 BK Enhancements — Why This Publication Exists (Not a Mashup)
This is one pattern engine plus a purpose-built execution layer. Not “two indicators glued together.”
A) Short-Form Pattern Tags (clarity under pressure)
Instead of long labels drowning price, the script can replace them with compact codes:
BF / BeF / BP / BeP / F / P / UF / DF / RF / FF / AF / DeF
This is not cosmetic — it lets you keep structure visible while trading.
B) Tooltip Briefing (optional)
Hover a tag to see:
the full pattern name
the bias (Bullish/Bearish/Neutral)
So you get detail only when you request it, not sprayed across the chart.
C) Alert Routing (signal control, not spam)
Alerts can be filtered by:
Bias (Bull/Bear/Neutral)
Type (Flag vs Pennant)
So you can route only what you trade — e.g., bullish continuations only, or pennants only.
D) Pattern Border Extension (planning the break/retest)
Optional feature extends only the two true boundary lines forward by N bars, so you can plan:
breakout/breakdown levels
retest zones
invalidation outside structure
This extension is selective: it aims to extend the actual borders, not random zigzag legs.
How these work together:
Trendoscope detects/validates → draws the pattern → BK layer converts labels to short tags + applies transparency + tooltip overlay → BK alert router filters by bias/type → BK border extension projects the two boundary lines forward.
That’s the purpose: faster reads + cleaner execution planning.
🏷️ How To Read the Codes (Practical Translation)
BF — Bull Flag: strong pole → controlled pullback → watch boundary break + continuation
BP — Bull Pennant: thrust → tight compression → expansion confirms carry
BeF — Bear Flag: down impulse → weak rallies → breakdown favors continuation lower
BeP — Bear Pennant: pause beneath resistance → release favors trend continuation
F / P: generic tags when it’s valid but shouldn’t over-specify
⚙️ What You Actually Tune
Zigzag lengths/depths: sensitivity (faster vs cleaner)
Max Retracement: how deep consolidation may retrace the pole
Error / Flat thresholds: strictness of structure validation
Overlap / Max patterns: chart cleanliness
Labels: short tags, transparency, tooltips
Border extension: extend boundaries forward by N bars
Alerts: enable + filter by bias and by type
🧑🏫 BK / AK
AK is honor — my mentor’s standard: patience, clarity, no gambling.
All glory to G-d — the true source of wisdom, restraint, and endurance.
👑 King Solomon Lens
“Plans are established by counsel; by wise guidance wage war.” — Proverbs 20:18
Continuation trading is the same: impulse → formation → execution.
BK AK-Flag Formations — when the standard rises, the line advances.
Gd bless. 🙏
50 SMA Slope Change with TrendlineThe 50 MA is a good indicator if medium term price direction whether bull or bear. It shows the 50 MA and the rate of change. A positive slope is green and negative slope is red.

MoBo Bands - Momentum Breakout IndicatorDESCRIPTION
MoBo Bands (Momentum Breakout Bands) is a volatility-based breakout detection indicator that helps traders identify potential momentum shifts in the market. The indicator uses dynamic bands calculated from standard deviation to signal when price breaks above or below established ranges, indicating potential bullish or bearish momentum changes.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
KEY FEATURES
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
- Dynamic upper and lower bands based on standard deviation
- Color-coded bands that change based on breakout direction (green for bullish, red for bearish)
- Visual breakout arrows marking entry points above/below bands
- Optional colored fill zones between bands showing current momentum state
- Customizable displacement for band projection
- Built-in alert system for breakout and breakdown signals
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW IT WORKS
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
The indicator calculates a middle line using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) with upper and lower bands positioned using standard deviation multipliers. When price closes above the upper band, a bullish breakout (green) is signaled. When price closes below the lower band, a bearish breakdown (red) is signaled. The bands and fill zones remain colored until the opposite signal occurs, providing clear visual confirmation of the current momentum state.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
CUSTOMIZABLE INPUTS
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
CALCULATION PARAMETERS:
- Price Source - Select which price data to use (default: close)
- Length - Period for SMA and standard deviation calculation (default: 10)
- Num Dev Up - Standard deviation multiplier for upper band (default: 0.8)
- Num Dev Down - Standard deviation multiplier for lower band (default: -0.8)
- Displace - Shift bands forward for projection analysis (default: 0)
DISPLAY OPTIONS:
- Colored Mobo - Enable/disable color-coded bands
- Colored Fill - Enable/disable fill zones between bands
- Break Arrows - Show/hide breakout and breakdown arrows
ALERT OPTIONS:
- Show Alerts - Enable/disable alert conditions
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
USAGE GUIDE
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Watch for price to close outside the bands as potential breakout signals:
BULLISH BREAKOUT: Green arrow appears below the lower band when price closes above the upper band, indicating upward momentum shift.
BEARISH BREAKDOWN: Red arrow appears above the upper band when price closes below the lower band, indicating downward momentum shift.
The bands also serve as dynamic support and resistance levels. When bands are green, momentum is bullish. When bands are red, momentum is bearish.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
BEST PRACTICES
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
- This indicator works well on liquid futures contracts (MNQ, MES, MYM, MGC, MCL) and major
currency pairs across multiple timeframes
- Lower deviation values (0.5-1.0) produce more frequent signals suitable for scalping
- Higher deviation values (1.5-2.5) filter for stronger breakouts ideal for swing trading
- Combine with volume indicators for additional confirmation
- Use with momentum oscillators to validate breakout strength
- Best results in trending market conditions
- Consider the overall market context and trend direction
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ALERT CONFIGURATION
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Configure custom alerts for automated notifications:
- "MoBo BreakOUT" - Triggers on bullish breakout signals
- "MoBo BreakDOWN" - Triggers on bearish breakdown signals
Set alerts to "Once Per Bar Close" for confirmed signals and avoid false triggers during bar development.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
IDEAL FOR
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
- Day traders and scalpers on futures markets
- Swing traders looking for momentum shifts
- Breakout trading strategies
- Trend following systems
- Works on stocks, forex, crypto, and commodities
- Effective across multiple timeframes (1min to daily)
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Perfect for traders seeking clear visual breakout signals with minimal lag. The color-coded system and arrow markers make it easy to identify momentum changes at a glance.

Hero Zero+ Gamma (False Breakout Filter)Hero Zero – EMA + VWAP + Gamma (Strong Candle)
Purpose:
This script is designed to capture high-momentum intraday moves (Gamma Blasts / Hero Zero trades) by combining:
Trend strength (EMA stack)
Institutional reference (VWAP)
Momentum candle quality (Full Body / Marubozu)
Participation confirmation (Volume burst – OI proxy)
It avoids weak breakouts and focuses only on decisive price expansion candles.
1️⃣ EMA STRUCTURE – TREND FILTER
emaFast = ta.ema(close, 9)
emaMid = ta.ema(close, 20)
emaSlow = ta.ema(close, 50)
📈 Why EMAs?
EMAs react faster to price → ideal for intraday momentum
The script uses EMA stacking, not just crossovers
Bullish EMA Stack
emaFast > emaMid > emaSlow
✔ Indicates strong uptrend
✔ Buyers are in control across short, medium & intraday timeframes
Bearish EMA Stack
emaFast < emaMid < emaSlow
✔ Indicates strong downtrend
✔ Sellers dominate
🔒 No EMA stack = no trade
This removes sideways and choppy markets.
2️⃣ VWAP – INSTITUTIONAL BIAS
vwapVal = ta.vwap(hlc3)
Why VWAP?
Used by institutions, algos, prop desks
Acts as a fair value line
Conditions
Bullish trade: close > VWAP
Bearish trade: close < VWAP
📌 This ensures:
You trade with smart money
You avoid mean-reversion traps
3️⃣ VOLUME BURST – GAMMA / OI PROXY
avgVol = ta.sma(volume, 20)
volBurst = volume > avgVol * 1.5
What this represents
Sudden increase in participation
Acts as a proxy for OI build-up / Gamma activity
✔ No volume = no follow-through
✔ Volume burst confirms real interest, not fake moves
4️⃣ STRONG CANDLE LOGIC – CORE EDGE 🔥
Candle Anatomy
bodySize = abs(close - open)
upperWick = high - max(close, open)
lowerWick = min(close, open) - low
A) FULL BODY CANDLE
Meaning:
Price moves strongly in one direction with minimal rejection.
Bullish Full Body
bodySize > upperWick
✔ Buyers pushed price up and held it
Bearish Full Body
bodySize > lowerWick
✔ Sellers dominated without pullback
B) MARUBOZU CANDLE (Institutional Candle)
upperWick <= mintick*2
lowerWick <= mintick*2
✔ Almost no wicks
✔ Pure aggression
✔ Typically seen during:
Option Gamma expansion
Index hero moves
Breakout candles
C) STRONG CANDLE (Final Filter)
Strong Candle = Full Body OR Marubozu
📌 This is powerful because:
Full Body → strong but normal momentum
Marubozu → explosive institutional move
Weak candles are fully filtered out.
5️⃣ HERO ZERO (GAMMA BLAST) CONDITIONS
Bullish Gamma Blast
EMA Stack + Price above VWAP +
Strong Bull Candle + Volume Burst
Bearish Gamma Blast
EMA Stack + Price below VWAP +
Strong Bear Candle + Volume Burst
💥 When all align → probability spike
💥 Designed for fast 1–3 candle expansion
6️⃣ SIGNAL VISUALS
Green “GAMMA BUY” → below candle
Red “GAMMA SELL” → above candle
EMAs + VWAP plotted for context
Signals are rare but high-quality.
7️⃣ ALERT SYSTEM
alertcondition(bullGamma)
alertcondition(bearGamma)
✔ Use for:
Bank Nifty / Nifty
Option buying
Scalping during power hours
8️⃣ BEST USAGE (IMPORTANT)
✅ Recommended Timeframes
3-min → Best balance
5-min → Safer
1-min → Aggressive scalping only
✅ Best Time Window (IST)
9:20 – 11:00 AM
2:30 – 3:15 PM (Hero Zero zone)
9️⃣ WHAT THIS SCRIPT AVOIDS ❌
Sideways chop
Low volume traps
Wicky fake breakouts
EMA crossover noise
🧠 TRADER MINDSET
This is not a signal-spamming indicator.
It is a confirmation engine for:
Index options
Momentum scalps
Gamma expansion trades
LTF Distribution Analyzer█ OVERVIEW
LTF Distribution Analyzer reveals the hidden price distribution and order flow within each candle by sampling lower timeframe data. It visualizes where prices concentrated, how volume was distributed between buyers and sellers, and identifies divergences between price action and actual market participation.
Unlike traditional candlesticks showing only OHLC, this indicator exposes the statistical structure of price movement using quartile-based visualization combined with delta analysis.
█ CONCEPTS
The indicator is built on two core concepts:
1 — Statistical Price Distribution
Each candle contains many lower timeframe bars. By analyzing these bars, we calculate:
• Q1 (25th percentile) - 25% of prices traded below this level
• Q3 (75th percentile) - 75% of prices traded below this level
• Median - The middle price value
• IQR (Interquartile Range) - The Q3-Q1 spread containing 50% of all prices
2 — Volume Delta Analysis
Delta measures buying vs selling pressure:
• Delta = Buy Volume − Sell Volume
• Positive delta = More aggressive buying
• Negative delta = More aggressive selling
• Delta Ratio normalizes this as a percentage
█ HOW IT WORKS
The indicator fetches lower timeframe data using request.security_lower_tf() and processes it to create a statistical summary:
Step 1: Timeframe Calculation
• Auto mode: Chart timeframe ÷ Auto Divisor = LTF
• Example: 1H chart ÷ 1000 = ~3.6 second sampling
• Manual mode: User-specified timeframe
Step 2: Data Collection
• Collects all close prices from LTF bars within current candle
• Aggregates volume by candle direction (bullish/bearish)
Step 3: Statistical Analysis
• Calculates quartiles (Q1, Q3), median, and boundaries
• Identifies outliers using 1.5× and 3× IQR fences
• Finds Volume POC (price with highest volume)
Step 4: Delta Calculation
• Sums buy volume (from bullish LTF bars)
• Sums sell volume (from bearish LTF bars)
• Computes delta ratio for color determination
█ VISUAL ELEMENTS

█ COLOR SYSTEM
Colors indicate the relationship between candle direction and order flow:
🟢 TEAL (Positive Flow)
Bullish candle + Positive delta
→ Strong buying confirmation
→ Trend continuation signal
🔴 RED (Negative Flow)
Bearish candle + Negative delta
→ Strong selling confirmation
→ Trend continuation signal
🟠 ORANGE (Mixed Signal A)
Bullish candle + Negative delta
→ Price up but sellers dominated
→ Potential weakness/reversal warning
🔵 BLUE (Mixed Signal B)
Bearish candle + Positive delta
→ Price down but buyers dominated
→ Potential accumulation/reversal signal
█ SETTINGS

█ HOW TO USE
1. Divergence Detection
Look for color mismatches:
• Orange bars in uptrend = weakness, potential reversal
• Blue bars in downtrend = strength, potential reversal
• Multiple consecutive divergent bars strengthen signal
• Wait for confirmation before entry
2. Volume POC Trading
• POC marks where most volume traded
• POC clusters at similar levels = strong S/R zone
• Price often returns to POC before continuing
• Use POC for entry/exit targeting
3. Trend Confirmation
• Consecutive teal = strong uptrend
• Consecutive red = strong downtrend
• Median position shows intrabar momentum
• Wide boxes indicate high volatility
4. Outlier Analysis
• Extreme markers (▲▼) often mark stop hunts
• Consider fading extremes at key levels
• Mild markers (△▽) = areas to watch
█ RECOMMENDED SETTINGS
For different chart timeframes:
│ Chart TF │ Auto Divisor │ Resulting LTF │
├──────────┼──────────────┼───────────────┤
│ 15M │ 1500 │ ~1M │
│ 1H │ 1000 │ ~3-4s │
│ 4H │ 600 │ ~24s │
│ Daily │ 500 │ ~2-3M │
Tip: Check the TF badge to confirm active sampling timeframe.
█ BEST PRACTICES
Do:
✓ Use "Bars" chart style for cleanest display
✓ Combine with support/resistance analysis
✓ Wait for confirmation bars
✓ Note POC clusters across multiple bars
✓ Adjust divisor based on your timeframe
Avoid:
✗ Trading single bar signals alone
✗ Using during low volume periods
✗ Trading immediately after news releases
✗ Ignoring overall market context
█ LIMITATIONS
• Requires adequate market liquidity for reliable signals
• Sub-minute timeframes need Premium subscription
• Historical data depth depends on TradingView's data availability
• Delta calculation assumes volume direction matches candle direction
█ NOTES
This indicator works best on liquid markets (forex majors, major indices, popular stocks/crypto) where volume data is meaningful.
The gray dotted vertical line marks where LTF data becomes available - bars before this line won't display the indicator.
