CryptoFlux Dynamo [JOAT]CryptoFlux Dynamo: Velocity Scalping Strategy
WHAT THIS STRATEGY IS
CryptoFlux Dynamo is an open-source Pine Script v6 strategy designed for momentum-based scalping on cryptocurrency perpetual futures. It combines multiple technical analysis methods into a unified system that adapts its behavior based on current market volatility conditions.
This script is published open-source so you can read, understand, and modify the complete logic. The description below explains everything the strategy does so that traders who cannot read Pine Script can fully understand how it works before using it.
HOW THIS STRATEGY IS ORIGINAL AND WHY THE INDICATORS ARE COMBINED
This strategy uses well-known indicators (MACD, EMA, RSI, MFI, Bollinger Bands, Keltner Channels, ATR). The originality is not in the individual indicators themselves, but in the specific way they are integrated into a regime-adaptive system. Here is the detailed justification for why these components are combined and how they work together:
The Problem Being Solved:
Standard indicator-based strategies use fixed thresholds. For example, a typical MACD strategy might enter when the histogram crosses above zero. However, in cryptocurrency markets, volatility changes dramatically throughout the day and week. A MACD crossover during a low-volatility consolidation period has very different implications than the same crossover during a high-volatility trending period. Using the same entry thresholds and stop distances in both conditions leads to either:
Too many false signals during consolidation (if thresholds are loose)
Missing valid opportunities during expansion (if thresholds are tight)
Stops that are too tight during volatility spikes (causing premature exits)
Stops that are too wide during compression (giving back profits)
The Solution Approach:
This strategy first classifies the current volatility regime using normalized ATR (ATR as a percentage of price), then dynamically adjusts ALL other parameters based on that classification. This creates a context-aware system rather than a static threshold comparison.
How Each Component Contributes to the System:
ATR-Based Regime Classification (The Foundation)
The strategy calculates ATR over 21 periods, smooths it with a 13-period EMA to reduce noise from wicks, then divides by price to get a normalized percentage. This ATR% is classified into three regimes:
- Compression (ATR% < 0.8%): Market is consolidating, breakouts are more likely but false signals are common
- Expansion (ATR% 0.8% - 1.6%): Normal trending conditions
- Velocity (ATR% > 1.6%): High volatility, larger moves but also larger adverse excursions
This regime classification then controls stop distances, profit targets, trailing stop offsets, and signal strength requirements. The regime acts as a "meta-parameter" that tunes the entire system.
EMA Ribbon (8/21/34) - Trend Structure Detection
The three EMAs establish trend direction and structure. When EMA 8 > EMA 21 > EMA 34, the trend structure is bullish. The slope of the middle EMA (21) is calculated over 8 bars and converted to degrees using arctangent. This slope measurement quantifies trend strength, not just direction.
Why these specific periods? The 8/21/34 sequence follows Fibonacci-like spacing and provides good separation on 5-minute cryptocurrency charts. The fast EMA (8) responds to immediate price action, the mid EMA (21) represents the short-term trend, and the slow EMA (34) acts as a trend filter.
The EMA ribbon works with the regime classification: during compression regimes, the strategy requires stronger ribbon alignment before entry because false breakouts are more common.
MACD (8/21/5) - Momentum Measurement
The MACD uses faster parameters (8/21/5) than the standard (12/26/9) because cryptocurrency markets move faster than traditional markets. The histogram is smoothed with a 5-period EMA to reduce noise.
The key innovation is the adaptive histogram baseline. Instead of using a fixed threshold, the strategy calculates a rolling baseline from the smoothed absolute histogram value, then multiplies by a sensitivity factor (1.15). This means the threshold for "significant momentum" automatically adjusts based on recent momentum levels.
The MACD works with the regime classification: during velocity regimes, the histogram baseline is effectively higher because recent momentum has been stronger, preventing entries on relatively weak momentum.
RSI (21 period) and MFI (21 period) - Independent Momentum Confirmation
RSI measures momentum using price changes only. MFI (Money Flow Index) measures momentum using price AND volume. By requiring both to confirm, the strategy filters out price moves that lack volume support.
The 21-period length is longer than typical (14) to reduce noise on 5-minute charts. The trigger threshold (55 for longs, 45 for shorts) is slightly offset from 50 to require momentum in the trade direction, not just neutral readings.
These indicators work together: a signal requires RSI > 55 AND MFI > 55 for longs. This dual confirmation reduces false signals from price manipulation or low-volume moves.
Bollinger Bands (1.5 mult) and Keltner Channels (1.8 mult) - Squeeze Detection
When Bollinger Bands contract inside Keltner Channels, volatility is compressing and a breakout is likely. This is the "squeeze" condition. When the bands expand back outside the channels, the squeeze "releases."
The strategy uses a 1.5 multiplier for Bollinger Bands (tighter than standard 2.0) and 1.8 for Keltner Channels. These values were chosen to identify meaningful squeezes on 5-minute cryptocurrency charts without triggering too frequently.
The squeeze detection works with the regime classification: squeeze releases during compression regimes receive additional signal strength points because breakouts from consolidation are more significant.
Volume Impulse Detection - Institutional Participation Filter
The strategy calculates a volume baseline (34-period SMA) and standard deviation. A "volume impulse" is detected when current volume exceeds the baseline by 1.15x OR when the volume z-score exceeds 0.5.
This filter ensures entries occur when there is meaningful market participation, not during low-volume periods where price moves are less reliable.
Volume impulse is required for all entries and adds points to the composite signal strength score.
Cycle Oscillator - Trend Alignment Filter
The strategy calculates a 55-period EMA as a cycle basis, then measures price deviation from this basis as a percentage. When price is more than 0.15% above the cycle basis, the cycle is bullish. When more than 0.15% below, the cycle is bearish.
This filter prevents counter-trend entries. Long signals require bullish cycle alignment; short signals require bearish cycle alignment.
BTC Dominance Filter (Optional) - Market Regime Filter
The strategy can optionally use BTC.D (Bitcoin Dominance) as a market regime filter. When BTC dominance is rising (slope > 0.12), the market is in "risk-off" mode and long entries on altcoins are filtered. When dominance is falling (slope < -0.12), short entries are filtered.
This filter is optional because the BTC.D data feed may lag during low-liquidity periods.
How The Components Work Together (The Mashup Justification):
The strategy uses a composite scoring system where each signal pathway contributes points:
Trend Break pathway (30 points): Requires EMA ribbon alignment + positive slope + price breaks above recent structure high
Momentum Surge pathway (30 points): Requires MACD histogram > adaptive baseline + MACD line > signal + RSI > 55 + MFI > 55 + volume impulse
Squeeze Release pathway (25 points): Requires BB inside KC (squeeze) then release + momentum bias + histogram confirmation
Micro Pullback pathway (15 points): Requires shallow retracement to fast EMA within established trend + histogram confirmation + volume impulse
Additional modifiers:
+5 points if volume impulse is present, -5 if absent
+5 points in velocity regime, -2 in compression regime
+5 points if cycle is aligned, -5 if counter-trend
A trade only executes when the composite score reaches the minimum threshold (default 55) AND all filters agree (session, cycle bias, BTC dominance if enabled).
This scoring system is the core innovation: instead of requiring ALL conditions to be true (which would generate very few signals) or ANY condition to be true (which would generate too many false signals), the strategy requires ENOUGH conditions to be true, with different conditions contributing different weights based on their reliability.
HOW THE STRATEGY CALCULATES ENTRIES AND EXITS
Entry Logic:
1. Calculate current volatility regime from ATR%
2. Calculate all indicator values (MACD, EMA, RSI, MFI, squeeze, volume)
3. Evaluate each signal pathway and sum points
4. Check all filters (session, cycle, dominance, kill switch)
5. If composite score >= 55 AND all filters pass, generate entry signal
6. Calculate position size based on risk per trade and regime-adjusted stop distance
7. Execute entry with regime name as comment
Position Sizing Formula:
RiskCapital = Equity * (0.65 / 100)
StopDistance = ATR * StopMultiplier(regime)
RawQuantity = RiskCapital / StopDistance
MaxQuantity = Equity * (12 / 100) / Price
Quantity = min(RawQuantity, MaxQuantity)
Quantity = round(Quantity / 0.001) * 0.001
This ensures each trade risks approximately 0.65% of equity regardless of volatility, while capping total exposure at 12% of equity.
Stop Loss Calculation:
Stop distance is ATR multiplied by a regime-specific multiplier:
Compression regime: 1.05x ATR (tighter stops because moves are smaller)
Expansion regime: 1.55x ATR (standard stops)
Velocity regime: 2.1x ATR (wider stops to avoid premature exits during volatility)
Take Profit Calculation:
Target distance is ATR multiplied by regime-specific multiplier and base risk/reward:
Compression regime: 1.6x ATR * 1.8 base R:R * 0.9 regime bonus = approximately 2.6x ATR
Expansion regime: 2.05x ATR * 1.8 base R:R * 1.0 regime bonus = approximately 3.7x ATR
Velocity regime: 2.8x ATR * 1.8 base R:R * 1.15 regime bonus = approximately 5.8x ATR
Trailing Stop Logic:
When adaptive trailing is enabled, the strategy calculates a trailing offset based on ATR and regime:
Compression regime: 1.1x base offset (looser trailing to avoid noise)
Expansion regime: 1.0x base offset (standard)
Velocity regime: 0.8x base offset (tighter trailing to lock in profits during fast moves)
The trailing stop only activates when it would be tighter than the initial stop.
Momentum Fail-Safe Exits:
The strategy closes positions early if momentum reverses:
Long positions close if MACD histogram turns negative OR EMA ribbon structure breaks (fast EMA crosses below mid EMA)
Short positions close if MACD histogram turns positive OR EMA ribbon structure breaks
This prevents holding through momentum reversals even if stop loss hasn't been hit.
Kill Switch:
If maximum drawdown exceeds 6.5%, the strategy disables new entries until manually reset. This prevents continued trading during adverse conditions.
HOW TO USE THIS STRATEGY
Step 1: Apply to Chart
Use a 5-minute chart of a high-liquidity cryptocurrency perpetual (BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT recommended)
Ensure at least 200 bars of history are loaded for indicator stabilization
Use standard candlestick charts only (not Heikin Ashi, Renko, or other non-standard types)
Step 2: Understand the Visual Elements
EMA Ribbon: Three lines (8/21/34 periods) showing trend structure. Bullish when stacked upward, bearish when stacked downward.
Background Color: Shows current volatility regime
- Indigo/dark blue = Compression (low volatility)
- Purple = Expansion (normal volatility)
- Magenta/pink = Velocity (high volatility)
Bar Colors: Reflect signal strength divergence. Brighter colors indicate stronger directional bias.
Triangle Markers: Entry signals. Up triangles below bars = long entry. Down triangles above bars = short entry.
Dashboard (top-right): Real-time display of regime, ATR%, signal strengths, position status, stops, targets, and risk metrics.
Step 3: Interpret the Dashboard
Regime: Current volatility classification (Compression/Expansion/Velocity)
ATR%: Normalized volatility as percentage of price
Long/Short Strength: Current composite signal scores (0-100)
Cycle Osc: Price deviation from 55-period EMA as percentage
Dominance: BTC.D slope and filter status
Position: Current position direction or "Flat"
Stop/Target: Current stop loss and take profit levels
Kill Switch: Status of drawdown protection
Volume Z: Current volume z-score
Impulse: Whether volume impulse condition is met
Step 4: Adjust Parameters for Your Needs
For more conservative trading: Increase "Minimum Composite Signal Strength" to 65 or higher
For more aggressive trading: Decrease to 50 (but expect more false signals)
For higher timeframes (15m+): Increase "Structure Break Window" to 12-15, increase "RSI Momentum Trigger" to 58
For lower liquidity pairs: Increase "Volume Impulse Multiplier" to 1.3, increase slippage in strategy properties
To disable short selling: Uncheck "Enable Short Structure"
To disable BTC dominance filter: Uncheck "BTC Dominance Confirmation"
STRATEGY PROPERTIES (BACKTEST SETTINGS)
These are the exact settings used in the strategy's Properties dialog box. You must use these same settings when evaluating the backtest results shown in the publication:
Initial Capital: $100,000
Justification: This amount is higher than typical retail accounts. I chose this value to demonstrate percentage-based returns that scale proportionally. The strategy uses percentage-based position sizing (0.65% risk per trade), so a $10,000 account would see the same percentage returns with 10x smaller position sizes. The absolute dollar amounts in the backtest should be interpreted as percentages of capital.
Commission: 0.04% (commission_value = 0.04)
Justification: This reflects typical perpetual futures exchange fees. Major exchanges charge between 0.02% (maker) and 0.075% (taker). The 0.04% value is a reasonable middle estimate. If your exchange charges different fees, adjust this value accordingly. Higher fees will reduce net profitability.
Slippage: 1 tick
Justification: This is conservative for liquid pairs like BTC/USDT on major exchanges during normal conditions. For less liquid altcoins or during high volatility, actual slippage may be higher. If you trade less liquid pairs, increase this value to 2-3 ticks for more realistic results.
Pyramiding: 1
Justification: No position stacking. The strategy holds only one position at a time. This simplifies risk management and prevents overexposure.
calc_on_every_tick: true
Justification: The strategy evaluates on every price update, not just bar close. This is necessary for scalping timeframes where waiting for bar close would miss opportunities. Note that this setting means backtest results may differ slightly from bar-close-only evaluation.
calc_on_order_fills: true
Justification: The strategy recalculates immediately after order fills for faster response to position changes.
RISK PER TRADE JUSTIFICATION
The default risk per trade is 0.65% of equity. This is well within the TradingView guideline that "risking more than 5-10% on a trade is not typically considered viable."
With the 12% maximum exposure cap, even if the strategy takes multiple consecutive losses, the total risk remains manageable. The kill switch at 6.5% drawdown provides additional protection by halting new entries during adverse conditions.
The position sizing formula ensures that stop distance (which varies by regime) is accounted for, so actual risk per trade remains approximately 0.65% regardless of volatility conditions.
SAMPLE SIZE CONSIDERATIONS
For statistically meaningful backtest results, you should select a dataset that generates at least 100 trades. On 5-minute BTC/USDT charts, this typically requires:
2-3 months of data during normal market conditions
1-2 months during high-volatility periods
3-4 months during low-volatility consolidation periods
The strategy's selectivity (requiring 55+ composite score plus all filters) means it generates fewer signals than less filtered approaches. If your backtest shows fewer than 100 trades, extend the date range or reduce the minimum signal strength threshold.
Fewer than 100 trades produces statistically unreliable results. Win rate, profit factor, and other metrics can vary significantly with small sample sizes.
STRATEGY DESIGN COMPROMISES AND LIMITATIONS
Every strategy involves trade-offs. Here are the compromises made in this design and the limitations you should understand:
Selectivity vs. Opportunity Trade-off
The 55-point minimum threshold filters many potential trades. This reduces false signals but also misses valid setups that don't meet all criteria. Lowering the threshold increases trade frequency but decreases win rate. There is no "correct" threshold; it depends on your preference for fewer higher-quality signals vs. more signals with lower individual quality.
Regime Classification Lag
The ATR-based regime detection uses historical data (21 periods + 13-period smoothing). It cannot predict sudden volatility spikes. During flash crashes or black swan events, the strategy may be classified in the wrong regime for several bars before the classification updates. This is an inherent limitation of any lagging indicator.
Indicator Parameter Sensitivity
The default parameters (MACD 8/21/5, EMA 8/21/34, RSI 21, etc.) are tuned for BTC/ETH perpetuals on 5-minute charts during 2024 market conditions. Different assets, timeframes, or market regimes may require different parameters. There is no guarantee that parameters optimized on historical data will perform similarly in the future.
BTC Dominance Filter Limitations
The CRYPTOCAP:BTC.D data feed may lag during low-liquidity periods or weekends. The dominance slope calculation uses a 5-bar SMA, adding additional delay. If you notice the filter behaving unexpectedly, consider disabling it.
Backtest vs. Live Execution Differences
TradingView backtesting does not replicate actual broker execution. Key differences:
Backtests assume perfect fills at calculated prices; real execution involves order book depth, latency, and partial fills
The calc_on_every_tick setting improves backtest realism but still cannot capture sub-bar price action or order book dynamics
Commission and slippage settings are estimates; actual costs vary by exchange, time of day, and market conditions
Funding rates on perpetual futures are not modeled in backtests and can significantly impact profitability over time
Exchange-specific limitations (position limits, liquidation mechanics, order types) are not modeled
Market Condition Dependencies
This strategy is designed for trending and breakout conditions. During extended sideways consolidation with no clear direction, the strategy may generate few signals or experience whipsaws. No strategy performs well in all market conditions.
Cryptocurrency-Specific Risks
Cryptocurrency markets operate 24/7 without session boundaries. This means:
No natural "overnight" risk reduction
Volatility can spike at any time
Liquidity varies significantly by time of day
Exchange outages or issues can occur at any time
WHAT THIS STRATEGY DOES NOT DO
To be straightforward about limitations:
This strategy does not guarantee profits. Past backtest performance does not indicate future results.
This strategy does not predict the future. It reacts to current conditions based on historical patterns.
This strategy does not account for funding rates, which can significantly impact perpetual futures profitability.
This strategy does not model exchange-specific execution issues (partial fills, requotes, outages).
This strategy does not adapt to fundamental news events or black swan scenarios.
This strategy is not optimized for all market conditions. It may underperform during extended consolidation.
IMPORTANT RISK WARNINGS
Past performance does not guarantee future results. The backtest results shown reflect specific historical market conditions and parameter settings. Markets change constantly, and strategies that performed well historically may underperform or lose money in the future. A single backtest run does not constitute proof of future profitability.
Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Cryptocurrency derivatives are highly volatile instruments. You can lose your entire investment. Only trade with capital you can afford to lose completely.

Trend Strength Matrix [JOAT]Trend Strength Matrix — Multi-Timeframe Confluence Analysis System
This indicator addresses a specific analytical challenge: how to efficiently compare multiple technical measurements across different timeframes while accounting for their varying scales and interpretations. Rather than managing separate indicator windows with different scales, this tool normalizes four distinct analytical approaches to a common -1 to +1 scale and presents them in a unified matrix format.
Why This Combination Adds Value
The core problem this indicator solves is analytical fragmentation. Traders often use multiple indicators but struggle with:
1. **Scale Inconsistency**: RSI ranges 0-100, MACD has no fixed range, ADX ranges 0-100 but measures strength not direction
2. **Timeframe Coordination**: Checking multiple timeframes requires switching between charts or cramming multiple indicators
3. **Cognitive Load**: Processing different indicator types simultaneously creates mental overhead
4. **Confluence Assessment**: Determining when multiple approaches agree requires manual comparison
This indicator specifically addresses these issues by creating a standardized analytical framework where different measurement approaches can be directly compared both within and across timeframes.
Originality and Technical Innovation
While the individual components (RSI, MACD, ADX, Moving Average) are standard, the originality lies in:
1. **Unified Normalization System**: Each component is mathematically transformed to a -1 to +1 scale using component-specific normalization that preserves the indicator's core characteristics
2. **Multi-Timeframe Weighting Algorithm**: Higher timeframes receive proportionally more weight (40% current, 25% next, 20% third, 15% fourth) based on the principle that longer timeframes provide more significant context
3. **Real-Time Confluence Scoring**: The composite calculation provides an instant assessment of how much the different analytical approaches agree
4. **Adaptive Visual Encoding**: The heatmap format allows immediate pattern recognition of agreement/disagreement across both indicators and timeframes
How the Components Work Together
Each component measures a different aspect of market behavior, and their combination provides a more complete analytical picture:
**Momentum Component (RSI-based)**: Measures the velocity of price changes by comparing average gains to losses
**Trend Component (MACD-based)**: Measures the relationship between fast and slow moving averages, indicating trend acceleration/deceleration
**Strength Component (ADX-based)**: Measures trend strength regardless of direction, then applies directional bias
**Position Component (MA-based)**: Measures price position relative to a reference average
The mathematical relationship between these components creates a comprehensive view:
- When all four agree (similar colors), it suggests multiple analytical approaches are aligned
- When they disagree (mixed colors), it highlights analytical uncertainty or transition periods
- The composite score quantifies the degree of agreement numerically
Detailed Component Analysis
**1. Momentum Oscillator Component**
This component transforms RSI into a centered oscillator by subtracting 50 and dividing by 50, creating a -1 to +1 range where 0 represents equilibrium between buying and selling pressure.
// Momentum calculation normalized to -1 to +1 scale
float rsi = ta.rsi(close, rsiLength)
float rsiScore = (rsi - 50) / 50
// Result: 0 at equilibrium, +1 at extreme overbought, -1 at extreme oversold
**2. Moving Average Convergence Component**
MACD is normalized by its own volatility (standard deviation) to create a bounded oscillator. This prevents the unbounded nature of MACD from dominating the composite calculation.
// MACD normalized by its historical volatility
= ta.macd(close, macdFast, macdSlow, macdSignal)
float macdStdev = ta.stdev(macdLine, 100)
float macdScore = macdStdev != 0 ? math.max(-1, math.min(1, macdLine / (macdStdev * 2))) : 0
**3. Directional Movement Component**
This combines ADX (strength) with directional movement (+DI vs -DI) to create a directional strength measurement. ADX alone shows strength but not direction; this component adds directional context.
// ADX-based directional strength
= calcADX(adxLength)
float adxStrength = math.min(adx / 50, 1) // Normalize ADX to 0-1
float adxDirection = plusDI > minusDI ? 1 : -1 // Direction bias
float adxScore = adxStrength * adxDirection // Combine strength and direction
**4. Price Position Component**
This measures price deviation from a moving average, weighted by the magnitude of deviation to distinguish between minor and significant displacements.
// Price position relative to moving average
float ma = ta.sma(close, maLength)
float maDirection = close > ma ? 1 : -1
float maDeviation = math.abs(close - ma) / ma * 10 // Percentage deviation scaled
float maScore = math.max(-1, math.min(1, maDirection * math.min(maDeviation, 1)))
Multi-Timeframe Integration Logic
The multi-timeframe system uses a weighted average that gives more influence to higher timeframes:
// Timeframe weighting system
float currentTF = composite * 0.40 // Current timeframe: 40%
float higherTF1 = composite_tf2 * 0.25 // Next higher: 25%
float higherTF2 = composite_tf3 * 0.20 // Third higher: 20%
float higherTF3 = composite_tf4 * 0.15 // Fourth higher: 15%
float multiTFComposite = currentTF + higherTF1 + higherTF2 + higherTF3
This weighting reflects the principle that higher timeframes provide more significant context for market direction, while lower timeframes provide timing precision.

All four components are based on historical price data and inherently lag price action
Market conditions can change rapidly, making current readings irrelevant
Different parameter settings will produce different readings and interpretations
No combination of technical indicators can reliably predict future market behavior
Strong readings in one direction do not guarantee continued movement in that direction
The composite score reflects mathematical relationships, not market fundamentals or sentiment
This tool should be used as one input among many in a comprehensive analytical approach

Smart Money Zones (FVG + OB) + MTF Trend Panel## Overview
Professional-grade institutional trading zones indicator that identifies **Fair Value Gaps (FVG)** and **Order Blocks (OB)** - key price inefficiencies where smart money operates. Includes a comprehensive **Multi-Timeframe Trend Panel** for complete market context at a glance.
## Core Features
### 🎯 Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Fair Value Gaps occur when price moves so aggressively that it leaves an "imbalance" or "gap" in the market structure. These zones often act as magnets where price returns to find liquidity.
**Detection Logic:**
- **Bullish FVG**: When current candle's low is above the high of the candle 2 bars ago
- **Bearish FVG**: When current candle's high is below the low of the candle 2 bars ago
- Requires strong impulse candle (configurable body percentage threshold)
- Color-coded zones: Green for bullish, Red for bearish
### 📦 Order Blocks (OB)
Order Blocks represent the last opposite candle before a significant price move - the zone where institutional orders were placed before the breakout.
**Detection Logic:**
- Identifies the last bearish candle before a strong bullish breakout (Bullish OB)
- Identifies the last bullish candle before a strong bearish breakout (Bearish OB)
- Validates breakout strength using ATR multiplier (1.2x default)
- Color-coded zones: Blue for bullish, Orange for bearish
### 📊 Multi-Timeframe Trend Panel
Real-time trend analysis across **7 timeframes** displayed in an elegant dashboard:
- **1 Minute** - Ultra short-term scalping
- **5 Minutes** - Short-term momentum
- **15 Minutes** - Intraday swings
- **30 Minutes** - Session trends
- **1 Hour** - Multi-session trends
- **4 Hours** - Daily structure
- **Daily** - Long-term direction
**Visual Indicators:**
- 🟢 Green circle = Bullish trend
- 🔴 Red circle = Bearish trend
- Clean, professional table design with customizable position and size
## Intelligence Features
### 🧠 Zone Strength Rating
Every zone is automatically classified by strength based on size relative to ATR:
- **VERY STRONG** - 2.0x ATR or more (major institutional zones)
- **STRONG** - 1.5x to 2.0x ATR (significant zones)
- **MEDIUM** - 1.0x to 1.5x ATR (moderate zones)
- **WEAK** - Below 1.0x ATR (minor zones)
Strength rating helps you prioritize which zones to trade from!
### 📉 Smart Mitigation Tracking
Zones automatically track how much they've been "filled" or mitigated:
- Calculates penetration percentage as price enters the zone
- Zones turn **gray** when 50%+ mitigated or fully filled
- Option to **auto-delete** mitigated zones to keep chart clean
- Live zones extend dynamically with price action
### 🎨 Trend Filter (Optional)
When enabled, only shows zones aligned with the current trend:
- Uses customizable MA period (default 50)
- Bullish zones only appear in uptrend
- Bearish zones only appear in downtrend
- Reduces noise and false signals significantly
## Customization Options
### Display Settings
- Toggle FVGs and OBs independently
- Adjust max zones per type (5-200)
- Choose to remove or gray out mitigated zones
- Color customization for all zone types
### Detection Parameters
- **Min Impulse Body %**: Controls how strong the impulse candle must be (0.3-1.0)
- **Order Block Lookback**: How many bars to look back for OB validation (5-50)
- **ATR Length**: Period for ATR calculation (5-50)
### Trend Filter
- Enable/disable trend filtering
- Adjustable MA period for trend determination
### MTF Panel
- Show/hide the trend panel
- 4 position options: Top Right, Top Left, Bottom Right, Bottom Left
- 3 size options: Small, Normal, Large
- Customizable MA period for trend calculation across all timeframes
## Trading Applications
### 1. **Liquidity Grab Entries**
Wait for price to sweep a zone (50%+ mitigation) then enter on reversal. Smart money often "hunts" these zones before the real move begins.
### 2. **Confluence Trading**
Look for zones that align with:
- Multiple timeframe trends showing same direction
- Multiple FVGs/OBs stacking in same area
- Key support/resistance levels
### 3. **Breakout Confirmation**
Use Order Blocks to confirm the strength of breakouts. Strong OBs indicate institutional participation.
### 4. **Retracement Entries**
Enter when price returns to a fresh, unmitigated zone in the direction of the higher timeframe trend.
### 5. **Range Trading**
Identify FVG zones at range extremes - price often reverses at these inefficiencies.
## How It Works
**Fair Value Gaps** form when the middle candle creates such aggressive movement that it leaves a price gap between the high/low of surrounding candles. Institutional traders know these gaps get filled.
**Order Blocks** mark the origin of major moves. The last opposite-colored candle before a breakout is where large orders were placed. Price often returns to these zones for "retests" before continuing.
**Mitigation** happens when price returns to fill these zones. The indicator tracks this automatically, showing you which zones are still "fresh" and which have been used up.
## Best Practices
✅ **Use higher timeframe trends** - Always check the MTF panel before taking trades
✅ **Trade fresh zones** - Unmitigated zones (not gray) have the highest probability
✅ **Combine with price action** - Look for rejection wicks and engulfing candles at zones
✅ **Respect zone strength** - VERY STRONG and STRONG zones are most reliable
✅ **Use trend filter** - Especially on lower timeframes to reduce false signals
❌ **Don't overtrade** - Not every zone will react, wait for confirmation
❌ **Don't ignore context** - Check the MTF panel for conflicting trends
❌ **Don't chase** - Wait for price to come to the zone, don't enter mid-zone
## Technical Details
- **Non-repainting**: All zones are drawn on confirmed candles only
- **Performance optimized**: Uses efficient array management with per-type caps
- **Real-time updates**: Zones extend and track mitigation as price moves
- **Universal compatibility**: Works on all markets and timeframes
## Recommended Settings by Style
**Scalping (1m-5m charts):**
- Max zones: 10-15
- Use trend filter: ON
- MTF Panel: Focus on 1m-15m trends
- Remove mitigated: ON (keep chart clean)
**Day Trading (5m-1H charts):**
- Max zones: 15-20
- Use trend filter: ON
- MTF Panel: Focus on 15m-4H trends
- Remove mitigated: OFF (track zone history)
**Swing Trading (1H-D charts):**
- Max zones: 20+
- Use trend filter: Optional
- MTF Panel: Focus on 1H-1D trends
- Remove mitigated: OFF (important zones persist)

Volume-Confirmed Reversal Engine [Scalping-Algo]█ VOLUME-CONFIRMED REVERSAL ENGINE
A reversal detection system combining price action exhaustion with volume confirmation to identify high-probability turning points.
█ WHAT MAKES THIS ORIGINAL?
Unlike oscillators (RSI, Stochastic) that signal at arbitrary levels, VCRE uses a TWO-STEP CONFIRMATION process:
1. ANCHOR CANDLE: Detects when price closes beyond ALL recent candles (not just one), indicating true exhaustion
2. VOLUME VALIDATION: Requires 2x average volume to confirm institutional participation
3. BREAKOUT CONFIRMATION: Waits for price to break back through anchor range before signaling
4. QUALITY SCORING: Rates each signal 1-4 stars based on multiple confluence factors
█ HOW IT WORKS
STEP 1 - ANCHOR DETECTION
• Bullish: Close drops below the LOW of ALL previous N candles + high volume
• Bearish: Close rises above the HIGH of ALL previous N candles + high volume
• This identifies potential exhaustion points with institutional participation
STEP 2 - CONFIRMATION
• Bullish signal: Price must close ABOVE anchor candle's high
• Bearish signal: Price must close BELOW anchor candle's low
• Must occur within specified bars or setup is cancelled
STEP 3 - SCORING (1-4 Stars)
★ Confirmation occurred
★ Anchor had exceptional volume (>2x avg)
★ Confirmation candle has strong volume (>1.2x avg)
★ Aligned with macro trend (200 EMA)
█ HOW TO USE
SIGNALS
• Green "B" = BUY signal | Red "S" = SELL signal
• More stars (★) = Higher probability setup
SETUP BOXES
• Green box = Bullish setup forming, waiting for confirmation
• Red box = Bearish setup forming, waiting for confirmation
DASHBOARD
• Shows status, confirmation countdown, and volume condition
█ RECOMMENDED SETTINGS
| Style | Lookback | Confirm | Volume Multi |
|--------------|----------|---------|--------------|
| Scalping | 10-15 | 2-3 | 1.5x |
| Day Trading | 15-25 | 3-4 | 2.0x |
| Swing | 20-30 | 3-5 | 2.0-2.5x |
█ KEY PARAMETERS
• Candle Lookback: Candles to check for breakout (higher = stronger signals)
• Confirm Within: Max bars for confirmation (lower = faster signals)
• Anchor Volume Multiplier: Volume threshold for anchor candle
• Macro Trend EMA: Trend filter for scoring (default 200)
█ ALERTS
• Buy/Sell Signal - Any confirmation
• High-Quality Buy/Sell - 3+ star signals only
• Setup Detected - When anchor forms (before confirmation)
█ TIPS
• Focus on 3-4 star signals for best results
• Signals near support/resistance add confluence
• Use stop-loss beyond anchor candle extreme
• Test on demo before live trading
Works on all markets: Stocks, Forex, Crypto, Futures
Smart Money Zones (FVG + OB) + MTF Trend Panel## Overview
Professional-grade institutional trading zones indicator that identifies **Fair Value Gaps (FVG)** and **Order Blocks (OB)** - key price inefficiencies where smart money operates. Includes a comprehensive **Multi-Timeframe Trend Panel** for complete market context at a glance.
## Core Features
### 🎯 Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Fair Value Gaps occur when price moves so aggressively that it leaves an "imbalance" or "gap" in the market structure. These zones often act as magnets where price returns to find liquidity.
**Detection Logic:**
- **Bullish FVG**: When current candle's low is above the high of the candle 2 bars ago
- **Bearish FVG**: When current candle's high is below the low of the candle 2 bars ago
- Requires strong impulse candle (configurable body percentage threshold)
- Color-coded zones: Green for bullish, Red for bearish
### 📦 Order Blocks (OB)
Order Blocks represent the last opposite candle before a significant price move - the zone where institutional orders were placed before the breakout.
**Detection Logic:**
- Identifies the last bearish candle before a strong bullish breakout (Bullish OB)
- Identifies the last bullish candle before a strong bearish breakout (Bearish OB)
- Validates breakout strength using ATR multiplier (1.2x default)
- Color-coded zones: Blue for bullish, Orange for bearish
### 📊 Multi-Timeframe Trend Panel
Real-time trend analysis across **7 timeframes** displayed in an elegant dashboard:
- **1 Minute** - Ultra short-term scalping
- **5 Minutes** - Short-term momentum
- **15 Minutes** - Intraday swings
- **30 Minutes** - Session trends
- **1 Hour** - Multi-session trends
- **4 Hours** - Daily structure
- **Daily** - Long-term direction
**Visual Indicators:**
- 🟢 Green circle = Bullish trend
- 🔴 Red circle = Bearish trend
- Clean, professional table design with customizable position and size
## Intelligence Features
### 🧠 Zone Strength Rating
Every zone is automatically classified by strength based on size relative to ATR:
- **VERY STRONG** - 2.0x ATR or more (major institutional zones)
- **STRONG** - 1.5x to 2.0x ATR (significant zones)
- **MEDIUM** - 1.0x to 1.5x ATR (moderate zones)
- **WEAK** - Below 1.0x ATR (minor zones)
Strength rating helps you prioritize which zones to trade from!
### 📉 Smart Mitigation Tracking
Zones automatically track how much they've been "filled" or mitigated:
- Calculates penetration percentage as price enters the zone
- Zones turn **gray** when 50%+ mitigated or fully filled
- Option to **auto-delete** mitigated zones to keep chart clean
- Live zones extend dynamically with price action
### 🎨 Trend Filter (Optional)
When enabled, only shows zones aligned with the current trend:
- Uses customizable MA period (default 50)
- Bullish zones only appear in uptrend
- Bearish zones only appear in downtrend
- Reduces noise and false signals significantly
## Customization Options
### Display Settings
- Toggle FVGs and OBs independently
- Adjust max zones per type (5-200)
- Choose to remove or gray out mitigated zones
- Color customization for all zone types
### Detection Parameters
- **Min Impulse Body %**: Controls how strong the impulse candle must be (0.3-1.0)
- **Order Block Lookback**: How many bars to look back for OB validation (5-50)
- **ATR Length**: Period for ATR calculation (5-50)
### Trend Filter
- Enable/disable trend filtering
- Adjustable MA period for trend determination
### MTF Panel
- Show/hide the trend panel
- 4 position options: Top Right, Top Left, Bottom Right, Bottom Left
- 3 size options: Small, Normal, Large
- Customizable MA period for trend calculation across all timeframes
## Trading Applications
### 1. **Liquidity Grab Entries**
Wait for price to sweep a zone (50%+ mitigation) then enter on reversal. Smart money often "hunts" these zones before the real move begins.
### 2. **Confluence Trading**
Look for zones that align with:
- Multiple timeframe trends showing same direction
- Multiple FVGs/OBs stacking in same area
- Key support/resistance levels
### 3. **Breakout Confirmation**
Use Order Blocks to confirm the strength of breakouts. Strong OBs indicate institutional participation.
### 4. **Retracement Entries**
Enter when price returns to a fresh, unmitigated zone in the direction of the higher timeframe trend.
### 5. **Range Trading**
Identify FVG zones at range extremes - price often reverses at these inefficiencies.
## How It Works
**Fair Value Gaps** form when the middle candle creates such aggressive movement that it leaves a price gap between the high/low of surrounding candles. Institutional traders know these gaps get filled.
**Order Blocks** mark the origin of major moves. The last opposite-colored candle before a breakout is where large orders were placed. Price often returns to these zones for "retests" before continuing.
**Mitigation** happens when price returns to fill these zones. The indicator tracks this automatically, showing you which zones are still "fresh" and which have been used up.
## Best Practices
✅ **Use higher timeframe trends** - Always check the MTF panel before taking trades
✅ **Trade fresh zones** - Unmitigated zones (not gray) have the highest probability
✅ **Combine with price action** - Look for rejection wicks and engulfing candles at zones

Elite MTF EMA Reclaim StrategyThis script is a 6-minute execution MTF EMA “retest → reclaim” strategy. It looks for trend-aligned pullbacks into fast EMAs, then enters when price reclaims and (optionally) retests the reclaim level—while filtering out chop (low trend strength/volatility or recent EMA20/50 crosses) and enforcing higher-timeframe alignment (Daily + 1H, or whichever you select).
How to use
Run it on a 6-minute chart (that’s what the presets are tuned for).
Pick your Market (Forex / XAUUSD / Crypto / Indices) and a Preset:
Elite = strictest, cleanest (fewer signals)
Balanced = middle ground
Aggressive = most signals, loosest filters
Set HTF Alignment Mode:
D + H1 (recommended) for highest quality
Off if you want more trades / LTF-only testing
Leave Kill Chop = ON (recommended). If you’re not getting trades, this is usually the blocker.
Choose entry behavior:
If Require Retest = true, entries happen on the retest after reclaim (cleaner, later).
If Require Retest = false, entries trigger on reclaim using Reclaim Timing Default:
“Preset” uses the strategy’s recommended default per market/preset
or force Reclaim close / Next bar confirmation
For backtesting, keep Mode = Strategy (Backtest). For alerts/visual-only, set Mode = Indicator (Signals Only).
Use Show Signals (All Modes) to toggle triangles on/off without affecting trades.
Tip: If TradingView says “not enough data,” switch symbol history to “All,” reduce HTF alignment (try H1 only), or backtest a more recent date range.
Elite MTF EMA Reclaim Signals Only ( With Market Presets)This indicator is a multi-timeframe trend-continuation entry tool.
It’s designed to help you enter pullback trades in strong trends while blocking choppy or low-quality conditions.
It works by:
Requiring Daily + 1H trend alignment
Enforcing EMA structure (5/10/20/50) on the 6-minute chart
Confirming momentum (EMA slope + curvature)
Blocking trades during chop (low ATR, weak ADX, tight EMAs, recent EMA crosses)
Triggering entries only after a Pullback → Reclaim → (optional) Retest
How to use it (6-minute execution)
Set chart to 6-minute
Select Market (Forex, XAUUSD, Crypto, or Indices)
Select Preset
Elite → fewest, cleanest trades
Balanced → best everyday default
Aggressive → more signals, more risk
Trade only when you see a LONG or SHORT triangle
Avoid trades when CHOP or HTF block markers appear
Place stops beyond EMA50 or recent structure, target 2R–4R+
Optional:
Turn on Looser LTF Mode or Allow reclaim without pullback for more signals
Use Next bar confirmation for cleaner entries, Reclaim close for faster entries
Bottom line:
The indicator doesn’t hunt trades—it filters the market so you only trade when trend, momentum, and structure are aligned.

Multi-MA SuiteMulti-MA Suite - Customizable Moving Averages Indicator
Overview
Multi-MA Suite is a comprehensive moving average indicator that combines both Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) in a single, highly customizable tool. Designed for traders who rely on multiple timeframe analysis, this indicator provides up to 9 moving averages (5 EMAs + 4 SMAs) with full control over visibility, color schemes, and parameters.
Key Features
✓ Dual MA Types:
5 Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) - Responsive to recent price action, ideal for short to medium timeframes
4 Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) - Slow and stable, specifically designed for long timeframe analysis
✓ Full Customization:
Individual toggle switches to show/hide each moving average
Custom color picker for each MA line
Adjustable length and source for all moving averages
Progressive line width (thicker lines for longer periods)
✓ Pre-configured Defaults:
EMA: 9, 21, 50, 100, 200 (common swing trading periods)
SMA: 50, 100, 200, 300 (institutional reference levels for long-term trends)
Color-coded scheme: Warm colors (yellow-orange) for EMAs, Cool colors (blue-purple) for SMAs
✓ Clean Interface:
Organized input groups for easy navigation
Clear labeling and logical parameter ordering
Minimal chart clutter with toggle controls
Key Difference - Speed & Timeframe:
EMAs: Fast and reactive → Best for short to medium timeframes (1-min to 4-hour charts)
SMAs: Slow and smooth → Best for long timeframes (daily, weekly, monthly charts)
Recommended Settings
Day Trading (Short Timeframes):
Focus on EMAs: 9, 21, 50
Use 1-minute to 15-minute charts
SMAs react too slowly for intraday timeframes
Swing Trading (Medium Timeframes):
Use all EMAs with SMA 50 and 200
1-hour to daily charts work best
Mix of EMAs for entries, SMAs for trend context
Position Trading (Long Timeframes):
Focus primarily on SMAs: 50, 100, 200, 300
Daily to weekly charts recommended
SMAs excel here due to their slow, stable nature
Can add EMA 200 for comparison
Investment Analysis (Very Long Timeframes):
SMAs only: 100, 200, 300
Weekly to monthly charts
SMA's slow calculation filters noise perfectly for long-term trends
EMA Timeframe-Specific Recommendations
📌 Important Notes on EMA Usage by Timeframe:
Small Timeframes (5-minute and 15-minute charts):
Use 9 EMA and 21 EMA
These fast EMAs respond quickly to price changes
Perfect for scalping and day trading
The 9/21 EMA crossover is a popular day trading strategy
Medium Timeframes (1-hour to 4-hour charts):
Use 21 EMA and 50 EMA
Balances responsiveness with trend reliability
Ideal for swing trading and intraday position holding
The 21/50 EMA combination filters out noise while staying responsive
Long Timeframes (Daily and Weekly charts):
Use 50 EMA and 200 EMA
The classic trend-following combination
50 EMA for medium-term trend, 200 EMA for major trend
The 50/200 EMA crossover is known as the "Golden Cross" (bullish) or "Death Cross" (bearish)
For very long-term analysis on these timeframes, consider using SMAs instead
Quick Reference Guide:
5m / 15m: EMA 9 & 21
1h / 4h: EMA 21 & 50
1D / 1W: EMA 50 & 200 (or switch to SMAs for even smoother signals)
Practical Trading Strategy with EMAs
📌 Why Use EMAs for Active Trading:
For active trading, use EMAs because they have faster movement compared to SMAs. This faster response to price changes allows you to catch trends earlier and exit trades before major reversals occur.
Three-EMA Trading System:
1. 9 EMA - Quick Trend Recognition:
Use the 9 EMA to understand the trend quickly
When price is above 9 EMA = Short-term uptrend
When price is below 9 EMA = Short-term downtrend
The 9 EMA reacts immediately to price momentum changes
Perfect for entry timing and quick trend identification
2. 21 EMA - Exit Signal and Trend Confirmation:
When the 21 EMA breaks (price crosses it), exit your trade
This is critical because when the 21 EMA breaks, the trend will likely reverse
The 21 EMA acts as your "stop-loss line"
Breaking the 21 EMA signals that the short-term momentum has shifted
Example: In an uptrend, when price crosses below 21 EMA, exit longs immediately
Example: In a downtrend, when price crosses above 21 EMA, exit shorts immediately
3. 50 EMA - Full Correction Understanding:
Use the 50 EMA to understand the complete correction
The 50 EMA shows where the full pullback or correction might end
When price reaches the 50 EMA, it often bounces (in a strong trend)
Breaking the 50 EMA indicates a deeper correction or potential trend reversal
Use it to gauge the strength of the overall trend
Customization Tips
Toggle unnecessary MAs off to reduce chart clutter based on your trading style and timeframe
For the 3-EMA trading strategy, enable only 9, 21, and 50 EMAs
For long timeframes (daily+), disable EMAs and use only SMAs to avoid over-reactive signals
Match your EMA selection to your timeframe using the guide above
Adjust colors to match your chart theme or to highlight specific MAs
Modify lengths to fit specific market conditions or asset volatility
Change source from close to high/low/HL2 for alternative perspectives
Use thicker lines for key decision MAs (edit linewidth in settings)
Color Scheme Rationale
EMAs (Warm Colors):
Yellow → Orange progression represents increasing timeframes while maintaining visual cohesion. The warm palette signals "active" or "fast-reacting" nature of EMAs, perfect for shorter timeframes and active trading.
SMAs (Cool Colors):
Blue → Purple progression provides clear visual distinction from EMAs. The cool palette suggests "stable," "slow," and "smooth" characteristics of SMAs, ideal for long timeframe analysis.
What Makes This Different?
Unlike basic MA indicators, Multi-MA Suite provides:
Both EMA and SMA in one indicator (saves indicator slots)
Optimized MA selection based on speed characteristics - fast EMAs for short timeframes, slow SMAs for long timeframes
Clear timeframe-specific EMA recommendations for immediate use
Practical trading strategy included - 9 EMA for trend, 21 EMA for exit, 50 EMA for corrections
Individual control over each MA (toggle, color, parameters)
Thoughtful default settings based on widely-used trading periods
Color-coded system for instant visual differentiation
Clean, organized interface for efficient workflow
Installation & Usage
Add the indicator to your chart
Open indicator settings to customize
For active trading: Enable 9, 21, and 50 EMAs (the recommended trading system)
Select appropriate MAs for your timeframe (use the EMA timeframe guide above)
Toggle MAs on/off based on your analysis needs
Adjust colors if desired to match your chart theme
Modify lengths and sources as needed for your strategy

Next Candle PredictorAdvanced TradingView Indicator for Precise Buy and Sell Signals
Overview:
The Predicta Futures - Next Candle Predictor is a cutting-edge TradingView indicator designed to forecast the next candle's direction in futures and cryptocurrency markets. Leveraging a multi-indicator confluence strategy, this tool provides traders with actionable long and short prediction percentages, enhanced by dynamic ADX-based thresholds and visual projection candles. Ideal for scalping, day trading, or swing trading on platforms like MEXC or Binance futures, it combines Supertrend, MACD, RSI, Stochastic, ADX, and volume analysis to deliver high-probability buy and sell signals while minimizing false positives.
Key Features:
• Multi-Indicator Confluence Scoring:
Integrates Supertrend for trend direction, EMAs (8, 21, 50) for alignment, MACD for momentum crossovers, RSI for overbought/oversold conditions, Stochastic for divergence detection, ADX for trend strength, and volume ratios for confirmation. A customizable confluence score (0-6) ensures signals meet user-defined criteria, reducing whipsaws in volatile markets.
• Dynamic Prediction Thresholds:
ADX-driven adjustments lower the required prediction percentage (e.g., 60% in strong trends) for "PERFECT TIME" entries, adapting to market conditions like ranging or trending phases.
• Visual Analysis Table:
A sleek, color-coded dashboard displays progress bars for each indicator, prediction percentages, and status (e.g., "PERFECT TIME" or "WAIT"). Supports long and short analyses with intuitive ASCII bars for quick scans.
• Projection Candles:
Simulates potential next-candle outcomes with volatility-scaled (via Bollinger Bands width) green long and red short candles, aiding in visualizing price targets.
• Buy/Sell Signals and Alerts:
Generates labeled "BUY" and "SELL" arrows on EMA crossovers within confirmed trends, with separate alerts for basic signals and high-confluence "PERFECT TIME" opportunities.
• Customizable Inputs:
Adjust ATR periods, Supertrend factors, minimum confluence scores, and volume ratios to tailor the indicator for stocks, forex, or crypto perpetual futures.
How It Works:
This TradingView script calculates long and short scores using weighted contributions from key indicators, normalizing them into prediction percentages. A confluence check—factoring trend, EMA alignment, MACD, Stochastic, volume, and ADX—triggers "PERFECT TIME" only when conditions align robustly. For example:
• In a downtrend (Supertrend red), with bearish MACD and Stochastic, and sufficient volume, the indicator highlights short opportunities.
• Dynamic thresholds ensure aggressive entries in strong trends (ADX >25) and conservative ones in weak trends.
• Backtested for reliability, it excels in identifying reversals and continuations, making it a must-have for traders seeking an edge in futures trading strategies.
Usage Instructions:
1. Add the indicator to your TradingView chart. (Search: Next Candle Predictor)
2. Customize settings via the inputs panel (e.g., set minConfluence to 5 for stricter signals).
3. Monitor the analysis table for predictions and confluence scores.
4. Act on "BUY/SELL" labels or "PERFECT TIME" alerts, combining with your risk management.
5. Enable projection candles for visual forecasting of the next bar.
Compatible with all timeframes, from 1-minute scalping to daily swings. Note: This is not financial advice; always verify signals with additional analysis.

Overview:
The Predicta Futures - Next Candle Predictor is a cutting-edge TradingView indicator designed to forecast the next candle's direction in futures and cryptocurrency markets. Leveraging a multi-indicator confluence strategy, this tool provides traders with actionable long and short prediction percentages, enhanced by dynamic ADX-based thresholds and visual projection candles. Ideal for scalping, day trading, or swing trading on platforms like MEXC or Binance futures, it combines Supertrend, MACD, RSI, Stochastic, ADX, and volume analysis to deliver high-probability buy and sell signals while minimizing false positives.
Key Features:
* Multi-Indicator Confluence Scoring: Integrates Supertrend for trend direction, EMAs (8, 21, 50) for alignment, MACD for momentum crossovers, RSI for overbought/oversold conditions, Stochastic for divergence detection, ADX for trend strength, and volume ratios for confirmation. A customizable confluence score (0-6) ensures signals meet user-defined criteria, reducing whipsaws in volatile markets.
* Dynamic Prediction Thresholds: ADX-driven adjustments lower the required prediction percentage (e.g., 60% in strong trends) for "PERFECT TIME" entries, adapting to market conditions like ranging or trending phases.
* Visual Analysis Table: A sleek, color-coded dashboard displays progress bars for each indicator, prediction percentages, and status (e.g., "PERFECT TIME" or "WAIT"). Supports long and short analyses with intuitive ASCII bars for quick scans.
* Projection Candles: Simulates potential next-candle outcomes with volatility-scaled (via Bollinger Bands width) green long and red short candles, aiding in visualizing price targets.
Buy/Sell Signals and Alerts: Generates labeled "BUY" and "SELL" arrows on EMA crossovers within confirmed trends, with separate alerts for basic signals and high-confluence "PERFECT TIME" opportunities.
* Customizable Inputs: Adjust ATR periods, Supertrend factors, minimum confluence scores, and volume ratios to tailor the indicator for stocks, forex, or crypto perpetual futures.
How It Works:
This TradingView script calculates long and short scores using weighted contributions from key indicators, normalizing them into prediction percentages. A confluence check—factoring trend, EMA alignment, MACD, Stochastic, volume, and ADX—triggers "PERFECT TIME" only when conditions align robustly. For example:
In a downtrend (Supertrend red), with bearish MACD and Stochastic, and sufficient volume, the indicator highlights short opportunities.
Dynamic thresholds ensure aggressive entries in strong trends (ADX >25) and conservative ones in weak trends.
Backtested for reliability, it excels in identifying reversals and continuations, making it a must-have for traders seeking an edge in futures trading strategies.
Usage Instructions:
1. Add the indicator to your TradingView chart.
2. Customize settings via the inputs panel (e.g., set minConfluence to 5 for stricter signals).
3. Monitor the analysis table for predictions and confluence scores.
4. Act on "BUY/SELL" labels or "PERFECT TIME" alerts, combining with your risk management.
5. Enable projection candles for visual forecasting of the next bar.
Compatible with all timeframes, from 1-minute scalping to daily swings. Note: This is not financial advice; always verify signals with additional analysis.

Elite MTF EMA ReclaimThis indicator is a trend-continuation tool, not a scalper.
Its purpose is to help you enter clean pullback trades in strong trends while blocking chop and low-quality setups.
It works by:
Requiring Daily + 1H trend alignment
Enforcing EMA structure (5/10/20/50) on the execution timeframe
Confirming momentum expansion using EMA slope + curvature
Blocking trades when conditions are choppy (low ATR, weak ADX, tight EMAs, recent EMA crosses)
Triggering entries only after a Pullback → Reclaim → (optional) Retest
How to use it:
Trade on the 6-minute chart (Forex works best based on default setting) but is adaptable to any market by changing settings
Wait for LONG / SHORT triangles only when no CHOP or HTF block is shown
Enter on the signal, place stops beyond EMA 50 or structure, target 2R–4R+
Expect fewer but higher-quality trades
What it’s not:
Not a breakout or range-trading indicator
Not meant to fire many signals
Not for choppy or low-volatility markets
Bottom line:
It helps you trade with higher-timeframe momentum, enter after pullbacks, and avoid bad market conditions.
Market Acceptance Envelope [Interakktive]The Market Acceptance Envelope (MAE) is a diagnostic tool that shows where price statistically belongs — not where it might go. Unlike traditional bands that expand with volatility, MAE expands with acceptance: regions where price rotates comfortably, efficiency drops, and the market agrees on fair value.
This is the anti-Bollinger thesis: bands should represent where price IS accepted, not where it MIGHT reach based on standard deviation.
█ USAGE
The filled corridor represents the current acceptance zone — where price has demonstrated rotational behavior with low directional efficiency. When price is inside the corridor, it's "home." When outside, it's exploring territory the market hasn't yet accepted.
For discretionary traders, MAE provides instant context: "Is price where it belongs, or is it extended?"
For systematic traders, the exported values (confidence, asymmetry, position) can inform position sizing and filter logic.
█ ACCEPTANCE CENTROID
Unlike traditional bands centered on a moving average, MAE uses an Acceptance Centroid — a time-weighted price level where acceptance behavior concentrates. The centroid is calculated by weighting price by:
• Inverse efficiency (low efficiency = high acceptance)
• Volatility stability (stable vol = higher weight)
• Dwell factor (time spent near level)
This means the centroid drifts toward where price actually rotates, not simply where it averages.
█ ASYMMETRIC BOUNDARIES
MAE calculates upper and lower boundaries independently. Markets rarely treat up and down equally — during uptrends, the upper boundary may be wider (more accepted upside exploration), while the lower boundary stays tight (quick rejection of dips).
This asymmetry is visible on the chart and exported as a metric (-1 to +1).
█ CONFIDENCE-BASED VISIBILITY
The corridor's opacity reflects acceptance confidence:
• High confidence → clearly visible corridor (price is in accepted rotation)
• Low confidence → faded corridor (trending/directional market, acceptance not established)
When the corridor fades, it's telling you: "Acceptance hasn't been earned here yet."
█ WHAT THIS INDICATOR IS
• A diagnostic acceptance envelope showing where price statistically belongs
• Asymmetric by design — upper and lower calculated independently
• Confidence-weighted visibility — fades when acceptance is not earned
• Non-repainting — uses closed-bar data only
█ WHAT THIS INDICATOR IS NOT
• NOT Bollinger Bands (no standard deviation around a mean)
• NOT Keltner Channels (no ATR-scaled envelope)
• NOT a signal generator — no touches = signals philosophy
• NO arrows, NO entries/exits, NO buy/sell recommendations
█ HOW IT WORKS
MAE uses an acceptance-weighted calculation approach:
1. ACCEPTANCE WEIGHT
Each bar receives a weight based on:
• Efficiency: (1 - efficiency) — low efficiency = rotational = high acceptance
• Volatility Stability: stable vol environment = higher weight
• Dwell Factor: price staying near central tendency = higher weight
2. ACCEPTANCE CENTROID
Weighted average of price using acceptance weights:
centroid = Σ(price × weight) / Σ(weight)
Smoothed adaptively — faster during drift, slower when stable.
3. ASYMMETRIC BOUNDARIES
Upper and lower distances calculated separately:
• rngUp = acceptance-weighted average of (price - centroid) when price > centroid
• rngDn = acceptance-weighted average of (centroid - price) when price < centroid
4. CONFIDENCE SCORE
Composite of average acceptance weight, volatility stability, and centroid stability.
Maps to corridor opacity: high confidence = visible, low confidence = faded.

Market State Intelligence [Interakktive]Market State Intelligence (MSI) is a diagnostic market-context indicator that reveals how the market is behaving — not where price "should" go.
MSI does not generate buy/sell signals. Instead, it classifies market conditions into clear behavioural regimes by continuously measuring:
- DRIVE (directional effort)
- OPPOSITION (absorption / resistance)
- STABILITY (structural persistence)
MSI is designed to answer three practical questions:
- What state is the market in right now?
- Is energy building, releasing, or decaying?
- Is participation aligned with price, or opposing it?
█ WHAT MSI DOES
MSI operates as a real-time regime classification engine that processes each closed bar through three independent measurement systems:
DRIVE — Directional Effort (0–100)
- Displacement efficiency (net progress vs total path)
- Range expansion quality (actual range vs expected ATR range)
- Body dominance (body vs candle range)
OPPOSITION — Absorption / Resistance (0–100)
- Wick pressure (rejection relative to attempt)
- Effort–result gap (high effort, low progress)
- Reversal density (counter-moves frequency)
STABILITY — Persistence (0–100)
- Condition persistence (how long conditions hold)
- Variance score (flip frequency)
- Follow-through consistency (reaction continuity)
These three forces feed a deterministic classifier with hysteresis (anti-flicker) to identify five regimes:
COMPRESSION — low drive, low opposition, higher stability (pressure building, direction unclear)
EXPANSION — high drive, low opposition (directional energy release)
TREND — medium-high drive, higher stability, low-medium opposition (healthy continuation)
DISTRIBUTION — medium drive, high opposition (effort absorbed; progress blocked)
TRANSITION — rapidly rising opposition, low stability (regime breakdown / uncertainty)
█ WHAT MSI DOES NOT DO
- No buy/sell signals, entries/exits, or performance claims
- No prediction of future direction
- No repainting: calculations use closed-bar data only
MSI is a market state layer intended to support your execution framework.
█ VISUAL SYSTEM
MSI uses a layered visual grammar designed to remain readable on live charts:
Regime Ribbon
A thin horizontal band showing the current regime via colour. Ribbon opacity reflects regime confidence (stronger confidence = more visible).
Pressure Envelope (core visual)
A soft corridor around price that expands with Drive and becomes more visible as Opposition increases. This visualises "pressure thickness" around current action (not a volatility band for entries).
Structural Memory
Faint background stains appear where regimes previously failed (e.g., expansion collapsing into absorption). These are behavioural context zones showing where market intention was rejected — not support/resistance.
Regime Change Markers (optional)
Subtle labels appear when regimes transition after confirmation. Useful for replay and education.
Effort Halo (optional)
Candle highlighting when Opposition materially exceeds Drive, indicating absorption/inefficiency.
█ HUD PANEL
The HUD displays:
- Current regime name + colour indicator
- A context gate showing whether conditions are aligned with long-bias or short-bias context (not an entry/exit system)
█ REGIME LEGEND
When enabled, displays:
- A one-line definition of the current regime
- Live Drive / Opposition / Stability values for interpretation
█ TIME-TO-DECISION METER
A visual pressure gauge that tends to fill during Compression (energy building) and drain during Expansion (energy releasing). It is a state-tracking meter, not a timing tool.
█ SETTINGS
MSI — Settings
- Preset Mode: Scalper / Swing / Position
- Analysis Mode (Minimal): ON = subtle visuals, OFF = full intensity
- Regime Ribbon, Structural Memory, HUD Panel, Time-to-Decision Meter, Effort Halo
MSI — Visual Options
- Show Regime Changes: Labels when regime transitions occur
- Show Regime Legend: Definition and live values display
- Panel Position: Move the entire panel anywhere on chart
MSI — Advanced (Tuning)
- Sensitivity (0.5–2.0)
- Smoothing (0.5–2.0)
- Memory Decay (0.5–2.0)
- Visual Intensity (Low / Medium / High)
█ PRESETS EXPLAINED
Scalper
Higher sensitivity + lower smoothing + faster memory decay. Best for 1m–15m monitoring.
Swing (default)
Balanced behaviour. Best for 15m–4H analysis.
Position
Lower sensitivity + higher smoothing + slower memory decay. Best for 4H–1D macro context.
█ STRUCTURAL MEMORY
When a regime fails (example: Expansion → Distribution), MSI creates a memory imprint:
- Fixed stain window (preset dependent)
- Strength decays over time
- Limited to a maximum number of imprints to reduce chart clutter
These zones represent behavioural rejection, not levels.
█ SUITABLE MARKETS
MSI is designed for Forex, Crypto, Indices, Stocks, and Commodities.
Works from intraday to Daily, with particularly strong readability on 15m–4H.

MA Crossover with R SquaredThis indicator enhances the classic Moving Average (MA) crossover strategy with statistical filtering and prediction capabilities.
Let me explain what it does:
Instead of just showing when a fast MA crosses above/below a slow MA, this indicator adds R² (R-squared) filtering to identify higher-quality crossovers and predicts future crossovers.
What is R²?
R² (Coefficient of Determination) is a statistical measure that shows how well one variable explains the movement of another variable. In simpler terms:
R² = 1.0: Perfect relationship - 100% of the movement in one MA is explained by the other MA
R² = 0.8: Strong relationship - 80%
R² = 0.5: Moderate relationship - 50%
R² = 0.0: No relationship - 0%
Imagine two cars driving on a highway:
High R² (0.9): Both cars are in the same lane, moving together consistently
Low R² (0.3): One car is weaving between lanes while the other stays straight - poor coordination.
Traditional MA crossovers often generate false signals during:
Choppy markets (price bouncing around)
Sideways/ranging markets
Low volatility periods
News events causing temporary spikes
The R² Solution:
R² acts as a "quality filter" that answers: "How meaningful this crossover is?"
What this means:
Before R² filtering: Every crossover generates a signal
After R² filtering: Only crossovers with R² > threshold generate signals
Result: Fewer but higher-quality signals.
MARKET REGIME DETECTION
High R² (> 0.7): Strong trending market - MA crossovers are reliable
Medium R² (0.4-0.7): Moderate trending - use with caution
Low R² (< 0.4): Choppy/range-bound market - avoid MA crossover signals
Increasing R²: MAs are converging/moving together more closely
Decreasing R²: MAs are diverging/losing coordination
Sudden R² drop: Potential market regime change.
Why Square the Correlation?
Correlation: Measures direction AND strength (-1 to +1)
R²: Measures strength ONLY (0 to 1)
In trading: We care about relationship strength, not direction
Direction is already indicated by crossover type (bullish/bearish)
Real-World Interpretation:
If R² = 0.64, it means:
64% of the variation in the fast MA is explained by the slow MA
36% is "noise" or unexplained movement
The MAs are moderately coordinated.
R² Trend Confirmation:
Entry: When crossover occurs AND R² is above threshold
Confirmation: R² continues rising after entry
Exit: R² drops below threshold (relationship weakening)
Multi-Timeframe R² Analysis
Check R² on higher timeframe for trend context
Use current timeframe for entry signals
Example: Daily R² > 0.7 gives bullish bias, use 1-hour for entries.
R² LIMITATIONS & CAUTIONS
1. Lagging Nature
R² is calculated from past data
By the time R² is high, the trend may already be established
2. Not a Standalone Indicator
R² should confirm other signals, not generate them alone
Always combine with price action, volume, support/resistance
3. Curve Fitting Risk
Don't over-optimize R² thresholds on historical data
What worked in the past may not work in the future
Use R² as a filter, not a predictor
4. Market-Specific Behavior
R² thresholds that work in trending stocks may fail in Forex
Cryptocurrencies may require different R² settings than commodities
Always test on your specific market/instrument
Before Taking Any Signal:
✅ Does the crossover have a colored circle? (R² > threshold)
✅ What's the R² number shown? (Higher = better)
✅ Is R² rising or falling? (Rising = strengthening relationship)
✅ Check history table - what happened with similar R² values?
✅ Consider prediction - does it align with current signal?
Simple R² Rules of Thumb:
R² > 0.8: Excellent signal quality
R² 0.6-0.8: Good signal quality
R² 0.4-0.6: Moderate - use additional confirmation
R² < 0.4: Poor - avoid or use extreme caution
Think of R² as:
A quality control inspector for MA crossovers
A relationship therapist for your moving averages
A statistical bouncer that only lets strong signals through
Higher win rate + Better risk/reward = More profitable trading
This script transforms the basic "when lines cross" approach into a sophisticated, statistically-validated trading system. R² is the secret sauce that separates random crossovers (Golden/Death) from meaningful trend changes.

Round Level Pro Stats
Here is a professional English description of your indicator, which you can use for your own records or if you ever want to share it on the TradingView Community Scripts:
Indicator Name: Dynamic Round Levels & Historical Strength Grid
Overview
This indicator is a sophisticated technical analysis tool designed to identify and evaluate "Round Number" psychological levels (e.g., 1.17100, 1.17200, 1.17300). Unlike a static grid, this tool actively scans historical data to provide a "Strength Score" for each level, helping traders distinguish between minor price points and significant historical reaction zones.
Key Features
Automated Price Grid: Generates a clean, horizontal grid based on user-defined price intervals (Steps). Perfect for Forex (0.001 pips), Stocks, or Crypto.
Historical Strength Engine: Analyzes up to 5,000 historical bars to calculate how "respected" a price level is.
The "3-Candle Confirmation" Logic: A level's strength is only increased if the price touches the line and successfully reverses/bounces, staying on the same side for at least 3 subsequent candles.
Smart Visual Coding:
Green (High Strength): Levels with >60% historical reversal success.
Orange (Medium Strength): Levels with 35%–60% success.
Red (Low Strength): Levels frequently breached without reaction.
Pro HUD Display: Bold percentage labels are positioned at the far right of the chart (near the price scale) to keep the main trading area clutter-free.
How to Use
Set your Step: For Forex, use 0.001 to see 10-pip increments. For Bitcoin or Gold, use 10 or 100.
Lookback Period: Adjust the history scan (up to 5,000 bars) to match your trading timeframe.
Identify Support/Resistance: Look for Green % STR labels. These represent "Round Numbers" that have acted as strong barriers in the past, offering higher-probability entry or exit points.

Ultimate MACD [captainua]Ultimate MACD - Comprehensive MACD Trading System
Overview
This indicator combines traditional MACD calculations with advanced features including divergence detection, volume analysis, histogram analysis tools, regression forecasting, strong top/bottom detection, and multi-timeframe confirmation to provide a comprehensive MACD-based trading system. The script calculates MACD using configurable moving average types (EMA, SMA, RMA, WMA) and applies various smoothing methods to reduce noise while maintaining responsiveness. The combination of these features creates a multi-layered confirmation system that reduces false signals by requiring alignment across multiple indicators and timeframes.
Core Calculations
MACD Calculation:
The script calculates MACD using the standard formula: MACD Line = Fast MA - Slow MA, Signal Line = Moving Average of MACD Line, Histogram = MACD Line - Signal Line. The default parameters are Fast=12, Slow=26, Signal=9, matching the traditional MACD settings. The script supports four moving average types:
- EMA (Exponential Moving Average): Standard and most responsive, default choice
- SMA (Simple Moving Average): Equal weight to all periods
- RMA (Wilder's Moving Average): Smoother, less responsive
- WMA (Weighted Moving Average): Recent prices weighted more heavily
The price source can be configured as Close (standard), Open, High, Low, HL2, HLC3, or OHLC4. Alternative sources provide different sensitivity characteristics for various trading strategies.
Configuration Presets:
The script includes trading style presets that automatically configure MACD parameters:
- Scalping: Fast/Responsive settings (8,18,6 with minimal smoothing)
- Day Trading: Balanced settings (10,22,7 with minimal smoothing)
- Swing Trading: Standard settings (12,26,9 with moderate smoothing)
- Position Trading: Smooth/Conservative settings (15,35,12 with higher smoothing)
- Custom: Full manual control over all parameters
Histogram Smoothing:
The histogram can be smoothed using EMA to reduce noise and filter minor fluctuations. Smoothing length of 1 = raw histogram (no smoothing), higher values (3-5) = smoother histogram. Increased smoothing reduces noise but may delay signals slightly.
Percentage Mode:
MACD values can be converted to percentage of price (MACD/Close*100) for cross-instrument comparison. This is useful when comparing MACD signals across instruments with different price levels (e.g., BTC vs ETH). The percentage mode normalizes MACD values, making them comparable regardless of instrument price.
MACD Scale Factor:
A scale factor multiplier (default 1.0) allows adjusting MACD display size for better visibility. Use 0.3-0.5 if MACD appears too compressed, or 2.0-3.0 if too small.
Dynamic Overbought/Oversold Levels:
Overbought and oversold levels are calculated dynamically based on MACD's mean and standard deviation over a lookback period. The formula: OB = MACD Mean + (StdDev × OB Multiplier), OS = MACD Mean - (StdDev × OS Multiplier). This adapts to current market conditions, widening in volatile markets and narrowing in calm markets. The lookback period (default 20) controls how quickly the levels adapt: longer periods (30-50) = more stable levels, shorter (10-15) = more responsive.
OB/OS Background Coloring:
Optional background coloring can highlight the entire panel when MACD enters overbought or oversold territory, providing prominent visual indication of extreme conditions. The background colors are drawn on top of the main background to ensure visibility.
Divergence Detection
Regular Divergence:
The script uses the MACD line (not histogram) for divergence detection, which provides more reliable signals. Bullish divergence: Price makes a lower low while MACD line makes a higher low. Bearish divergence: Price makes a higher high while MACD line makes a lower high. Divergences often precede reversals and are powerful reversal signals.
Pivot-Based Divergence:
The divergence detection uses actual pivot points (pivotlow/pivothigh) instead of simple lowest/highest comparisons. This provides more accurate divergence detection by identifying significant pivot lows/highs in both price and MACD line. The pivot-based method compares two recent pivot points: for bullish divergence, price makes a lower low while MACD makes a higher low at the pivot points. This method reduces false divergences by requiring actual pivot points rather than just any low/high within a period.
The pivot lookback parameters (left and right) control how many bars on each side of a pivot are required for confirmation. Higher values = more conservative pivot detection.
Hidden Divergence:
Continuation patterns that signal trend continuation rather than reversal. Bullish hidden divergence: Price makes a higher low but MACD makes a lower low. Bearish hidden divergence: Price makes a lower high but MACD makes a higher high. These patterns indicate the trend is likely to continue in the current direction.
Zero-Line Filter:
The "Don't Touch Zero Line" option ensures divergences occur in proper context: for bullish divergence, MACD must stay below zero; for bearish divergence, MACD must stay above zero. This filters out divergences that occur in neutral zones.
Range Filtering:
Minimum and maximum lookback ranges control the time window between pivots to consider for divergence. This helps filter out divergences that are too close together (noise) or too far apart (less relevant).
Volume Confirmation System
Volume threshold filtering requires current volume to exceed the volume SMA multiplied by the threshold factor. The formula: Volume Confirmed = Volume > (Volume SMA × Threshold). If the threshold is set to 1.0 or lower, volume confirmation is effectively disabled (always returns true). This allows you to use the indicator without volume filtering if desired. Volume confirmation significantly increases divergence and signal reliability.
Volume Climax and Dry-Up Detection:
The script can mark bars with extremely high volume (volume climax) or extremely low volume (volume dry-up). Volume climax indicates potential reversal points or strong momentum continuation. Volume dry-up indicates low participation and may produce unreliable signals. These markers use standard deviation multipliers to identify extreme volume conditions.
Zero-Line Cross Detection
MACD zero-line crosses indicate momentum shifts: above zero = bullish momentum, below zero = bearish momentum. The script includes alert conditions for zero-line crosses with cooldown protection to prevent alert spam. Zero-line crosses can provide early warning signals before MACD crosses the signal line.
Histogram Analysis Tools
Histogram Moving Average:
A moving average applied to the histogram itself helps identify histogram trend direction and acts as a signal line for histogram movements. Supports EMA, SMA, RMA, and WMA types. Useful for identifying when histogram momentum is strengthening or weakening.
Histogram Bollinger Bands:
Bollinger Bands are applied to the MACD histogram instead of price. The calculation: Basis = SMA(Histogram, Period), StdDev = stdev(Histogram, Period), Upper = Basis + (StdDev × Deviation Multiplier), Lower = Basis - (StdDev × Deviation Multiplier). This creates dynamic zones around the histogram that adapt to histogram volatility. When the histogram touches or exceeds the bands, it indicates extreme conditions relative to recent histogram behavior.
Stochastic MACD (StochMACD):
Stochastic MACD applies the Stochastic oscillator formula to the MACD histogram instead of price. This normalizes the histogram to a 0-100 scale, making it easier to identify overbought/oversold conditions on the histogram itself. The calculation: %K = ((Histogram - Lowest Histogram) / (Highest Histogram - Lowest Histogram)) × 100. %K is smoothed, and %D is calculated as the moving average of smoothed %K. Standard thresholds are 80 (overbought) and 20 (oversold).
Regression Forecasting
The script includes advanced regression forecasting that predicts future MACD values using mathematical models. This helps anticipate potential MACD movements and provides forward-looking context for trading decisions.
Regression Types:
- Linear: Simple trend line (y = mx + b) - fastest, works well for steady trends
- Polynomial: Quadratic curve (y = ax² + bx + c) - captures curvature in MACD movement
- Exponential Smoothing: Weighted average with more weight on recent values - responsive to recent changes
- Moving Average: Uses difference between short and long MA to estimate trend - stable and smooth
Forecast Horizon:
Number of bars to forecast ahead (default 5, max 50 for linear/MA, max 20 for polynomial due to performance). Longer horizons predict further ahead but may be less accurate.
Confidence Bands:
Optional upper/lower bands around forecast show prediction uncertainty based on forecast error (standard deviation of prediction vs actual). Wider bands = higher uncertainty. The confidence level multiplier (default 1.5) controls band width.
Forecast Display:
Forecast appears as dotted lines extending forward from current bar, with optional confidence bands. All forecast values respect percentage mode and scale factor settings.
Strong Top/Bottom Signals
The script detects strong recovery from extreme MACD levels, generating "sBottom" and "sTop" signals. These identify significant reversal potential when MACD recovers substantially from overbought/oversold extremes.
Strong Bottom (sBottom):
Triggered when:
1. MACD was at or near its lowest point in the bottom period (default 10 bars)
2. MACD was in or near the oversold zone
3. MACD has recovered by at least the threshold amount (default 0.5) from the lowest point
4. Recovery persists for confirmation bars (default 2 consecutive bars)
5. MACD has moved out of the oversold zone
6. Volume is above average
7. All enabled filters pass
8. Minimum bars have passed since last signal (reset period, default 5 bars)
Strong Top (sTop):
Triggered when:
1. MACD was at or near its highest point in the top period (default 7 bars)
2. MACD was in or near the overbought zone
3. MACD has declined by at least the threshold amount (default 0.5) from the highest point
4. Decline persists for confirmation bars (default 2 consecutive bars)
5. MACD has moved out of the overbought zone
6. Volume is above average
7. All enabled filters pass
8. Minimum bars have passed since last signal (reset period, default 5 bars)
Label Placement:
sTop/sBottom labels appear on the historical bar where the actual extreme occurred (not on current bar), showing the exact MACD value at that extreme. Labels respect the unified distance checking system to prevent overlaps with Buy/Sell Strength labels.
Signal Strength Calculation
The script calculates a composite signal strength score (0-100) based on multiple factors:
- MACD distance from signal line (0-50 points): Larger separation indicates stronger signal
- Volume confirmation (0-15 points): Volume above average adds points
- Secondary timeframe alignment (0-15 points): Higher timeframe agreement adds points
- Distance from zero line (0-20 points): Closer to zero can indicate stronger reversal potential
Higher scores (70+) indicate stronger, more reliable signals. The signal strength is displayed in the statistics table and can be used as a filter to only accept signals above a threshold.
Smart Label Placement System
The script includes an advanced label placement system that tracks MACD extremes and places Buy/Sell Strength labels at optimal locations:
Label Placement Algorithm:
- Labels appear on the current bar at confirmation (not on historical extreme bars), ensuring they're visible when the signal is confirmed
- The system tracks pending signals when MACD enters OB/OS zones or crosses the signal line
- During tracking, the system continuously searches for the true extreme (lowest MACD for buys, highest MACD for sells) within a configurable historical lookback period
- Labels are only finalized when: (1) MACD exits the OB/OS zone, (2) sufficient bars have passed (2x minimum distance), (3) MACD has recovered/declined by a configurable percentage from the extreme (default 15%), and (4) tracking has stopped (no better extreme found)
Label Spacing and Overlap Prevention:
- Minimum Bars Between Labels: Base distance requirement (default 5 bars)
- Label Spacing Multiplier: Scales the base distance (default 1.5x) for better distribution. Higher values = more spacing between labels
- Effective distance = Base Distance × Spacing Multiplier (e.g., 5 × 1.5 = 7.5 bars minimum)
- Unified distance checking prevents overlaps between all label types (Buy Strength, Sell Strength, sTop, sBottom)
Strength-Based Filtering:
- Label Strength Minimum (%): Only labels with strength at or above this threshold are displayed (default 75%)
- When multiple potential labels are close together, the system automatically compares strengths and keeps only the strongest one
- This ensures only the most significant signals are displayed, reducing chart clutter
Zero Line Polarity Enforcement:
- Enforce Zero Line Polarity (default enabled): Ensures labels follow traditional MACD interpretation
- Buy Strength labels only appear when the tracked extreme MACD value was below zero (negative territory)
- Sell Strength labels only appear when the tracked extreme MACD value was above zero (positive territory)
- This prevents counter-intuitive labels (e.g., Buy labels above zero line) and aligns with standard MACD trading principles
Recovery/Decline Confirmation:
- Recovery/Decline Confirm (%): Percent move away from the extreme required before finalizing (default 15%)
- For Buy labels: MACD must recover by at least this percentage from the tracked bottom
- For Sell labels: MACD must decline by at least this percentage from the tracked top
- Higher values = more confirmation required, fewer but more reliable labels
Historical Lookback:
- Historical Lookback for Label Placement: Number of bars to search for true extremes (default 20)
- The system searches within this period to find the actual lowest/highest MACD value
- Higher values analyze more history but may be slower; lower values are faster but may miss some extremes
Cross Quality Score
The script calculates a MACD cross quality score (0-100) that rates crossover quality based on:
- Cross angle (0-50 points): Steeper crosses = stronger signals
- Volume confirmation (0-25 points): Volume above average adds points
- Distance from zero line (0-25 points): Crosses near zero line are stronger
This score helps identify high-quality crossovers and can be used as a filter to only accept signals meeting minimum quality threshold.
Filtering System
Histogram Filter:
Requires histogram to be above zero for buy signals, below zero for sell signals. Ensures momentum alignment before generating signals.
Signal Strength Filter:
Requires minimum signal strength score for signals. Higher threshold = only strongest signals pass. This combines multiple confirmation factors into a single filter.
Cross Quality Filter:
Requires minimum cross quality score for signals. Rates crossover quality based on angle, volume, momentum, and distance from zero. Only signals meeting minimum quality threshold will be generated.
All filters use the pattern: filterResult = not filterEnabled OR conditionMet. This means if a filter is disabled, it always passes (returns true). Filters can be combined, and all must pass for a signal to fire.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis
The script can display MACD from a secondary (higher) timeframe and use it for confirmation. When secondary timeframe confirmation is enabled, signals require the higher timeframe MACD to align (bullish/bearish) with the signal direction. This ensures signals align with the larger trend context, reducing counter-trend trades.
Secondary Timeframe MACD:
The secondary timeframe MACD uses the same calculation parameters (fast, slow, signal, MA type) as the main MACD but from a higher timeframe. This provides context for the current timeframe's MACD position relative to the larger trend. The secondary MACD lines are displayed on the chart when enabled.
Noise Filtering
Noise filtering hides small histogram movements below a threshold. This helps focus on significant moves and reduces chart clutter. When enabled, only histogram movements above the threshold are displayed. Typical threshold values are 0.1-0.5 for most instruments, depending on the instrument's price range and volatility.
Signal Debounce
Signal debounce prevents duplicate MACD cross signals within a short time period. Useful when MACD crosses back and forth quickly, creating multiple signals. Debounce ensures only one signal per period, reducing signal spam during choppy markets. This is separate from alert cooldown, which applies to all alert types.
Background Color Modes
The script offers three background color modes:
- Dynamic: Full MACD heatmap based on OB/OS conditions, confidence, and momentum. Provides rich visual feedback.
- Monotone: Soft neutral background but still allows overlays (OB/OS zones). Keeps the chart clean without overpowering candles.
- Off: No MACD background (only overlays and plots). Maximum chart cleanliness.
When OB/OS background colors are enabled, they are drawn on top of the main background to ensure visibility.
Statistics Table
A real-time statistics table displays current MACD values, signal strength, distance from zero line, secondary timeframe alignment, volume confirmation status, and all active filter statuses. The table dynamically adjusts to show only enabled features, keeping it clean and relevant. The table position can be configured (Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right).
Performance Statistics Table
An optional performance statistics table shows comprehensive filter diagnostics:
- Total buy/sell signals (raw crossover count before filters)
- Filtered buy/sell signals (signals that passed all filters)
- Overall pass rates (percentage of signals that passed filters)
- Rejected signals count
- Filter-by-filter rejection diagnostics showing which filters rejected how many signals
This table helps optimize filter settings by showing which filters are most restrictive and how they impact signal frequency. The diagnostics format shows rejections as "X B / Y S" (X buy signals rejected, Y sell signals rejected) or "Disabled" if the filter is not active.
Alert System
The script includes separate alert conditions for each signal type:
- MACD Cross: MACD line crosses above/below Signal line (with or without secondary confirmation)
- Zero-Line Cross: MACD crosses above/below zero
- Divergence: Regular and hidden divergence detections
- Secondary Timeframe: Higher timeframe MACD crosses
- Histogram MA Cross: Histogram crosses above/below its moving average
- Histogram Zero Cross: Histogram crosses above/below zero
- StochMACD: StochMACD overbought/oversold entries and %K/%D crosses
- Histogram BB: Histogram touches/breaks Bollinger Bands
- Volume Events: Volume climax and dry-up detections
- OB/OS: MACD entry/exit from overbought/oversold zones
- Strong Top/Bottom: sTop and sBottom signal detections
Each alert type has its own cooldown system to prevent alert spam. The cooldown requires a minimum number of bars between alerts of the same type, reducing duplicate alerts during volatile periods. Alert types can be filtered to only evaluate specific alert types (All, MACD Cross, Zero Line, Divergence, Secondary Timeframe, Histogram MA, Histogram Zero, StochMACD, Histogram BB, Volume Events, OB/OS, Strong Top/Bottom).
How Components Work Together
MACD crossovers provide the primary signal when the MACD line crosses the Signal line. Zero-line crosses indicate momentum shifts and can provide early warning signals. Divergences identify potential reversals before they occur.
Volume confirmation ensures signals occur with sufficient market participation, filtering out low-volume false breakouts. Histogram analysis tools (MA, Bollinger Bands, StochMACD) provide additional context for signal reliability and identify significant histogram zones.
Signal strength combines multiple confirmation factors into a single score, making it easy to filter for only the strongest signals. Cross quality score rates crossover quality to identify high-quality setups. Multi-timeframe confirmation ensures signals align with higher timeframe trends, reducing counter-trend trades.
Usage Instructions
Getting Started:
The default configuration shows MACD(12,26,9) with standard EMA calculations. Start with default settings and observe behavior, then customize settings to match your trading style. You can use configuration presets for quick setup based on your trading style.
Customizing MACD Parameters:
Adjust Fast Length (default 12), Slow Length (default 26), and Signal Length (default 9) based on your trading timeframe. Shorter periods (8,17,7) for faster signals, longer (15,30,12) for smoother signals. You can change the moving average type: EMA for responsiveness, RMA for smoothness, WMA for recent price emphasis.
Price Source Selection:
Choose Close (standard), or alternative sources (HL2, HLC3, OHLC4) for different sensitivity. HL2 uses the midpoint of the high-low range, HLC3 and OHLC4 incorporate more price information.
Histogram Smoothing:
Set smoothing to 1 for raw histogram (no smoothing), or increase (3-5) for smoother histogram that reduces noise. Higher smoothing reduces false signals but may delay signals slightly.
Percentage Mode:
Enable percentage mode when comparing MACD across instruments with different price levels. This normalizes MACD values, making them directly comparable.
Dynamic OB/OS Levels:
The dynamic thresholds automatically adapt to volatility. Adjust the multipliers (default 1.5) to fine-tune sensitivity: higher values (2.0-3.0) = more extreme thresholds (fewer signals), lower (1.0-1.5) = more frequent signals. Adjust the lookback period to control how quickly levels adapt. Enable OB/OS background colors for visual indication of extreme conditions.
Volume Confirmation:
Set volume threshold to 1.0 (default, effectively disabled) or higher (1.2-1.5) for standard confirmation. Higher values require more volume for confirmation. Set to 0.1 to completely disable volume filtering.
Filters:
Enable filters gradually to find your preferred balance. Start with histogram filter for basic momentum alignment, then add signal strength filter (threshold 50+) for moderate signals, then cross quality filter (threshold 50+) for high-quality crossovers. Combine filters for highest-quality signals but expect fewer signals.
Divergence:
Enable divergence detection and adjust pivot lookback parameters. Pivot-based divergence provides more accurate detection using actual pivot points. Hidden divergence is useful for trend-following strategies. Adjust range parameters to filter divergences by time window.
Zero-Line Crosses:
Zero-line cross alerts are automatically available when alerts are enabled. These provide early warning signals for momentum shifts.
Histogram Analysis Tools:
Enable Histogram Moving Average to see histogram trend direction. Enable Histogram Bollinger Bands to identify extreme histogram zones. Enable Stochastic MACD to normalize histogram to 0-100 scale for overbought/oversold identification.
Multi-Timeframe:
Enable secondary timeframe MACD to see higher timeframe context. Enable secondary confirmation to require higher timeframe alignment for signals.
Signal Strength:
Signal strength is automatically calculated and displayed in the statistics table. Use signal strength filter to only accept signals above a threshold (e.g., 50 for moderate, 70+ for strong signals only).
Smart Label Placement:
Configure label placement settings to control label appearance and quality:
- Label Strength Minimum (%): Set threshold (default 75%) to show only strong signals. Higher = fewer, stronger labels
- Label Spacing Multiplier: Adjust spacing (default 1.5x) for better distribution. Higher = more spacing between labels
- Recovery/Decline Confirm (%): Set confirmation requirement (default 15%). Higher = more confirmation, fewer labels
- Enforce Zero Line Polarity: Enable (default) to ensure Buy labels only appear when tracked extreme was below zero, Sell labels only when above zero
- Historical Lookback: Adjust search period (default 20 bars) for finding true extremes. Higher = more history analyzed
Cross Quality:
Cross quality score is automatically calculated for crossovers. Use cross quality filter to only accept high-quality crossovers (threshold 50+ for moderate, 70+ for high quality).
Alerts:
Set up alerts for your preferred signal types. Enable alert cooldown (default enabled, 5 bars) to prevent alert spam. Use alert type filter to only evaluate specific alert types (All, MACD Cross, Zero Line, Divergence, Secondary Timeframe, Histogram MA, Histogram Zero, StochMACD, Histogram BB, Volume Events, OB/OS, Strong Top/Bottom). Each signal type has its own alert condition, so you can be selective about which signals trigger alerts.
Visual Elements and Signal Markers
The script uses various visual markers to indicate signals and conditions:
- MACD Line: Green when above signal (bullish), red when below (bearish) if dynamic colors enabled. Optional black outline for enhanced visibility
- Signal Line: Orange line with optional black outline for enhanced visibility
- Histogram: Color-coded based on direction and momentum (green for bullish rising, lime for bullish falling, red for bearish falling, orange for bearish rising)
- Zero Line: Horizontal reference line at MACD = 0
- Fill to Zero: Green/red semi-transparent fill between MACD line and zero line showing bullish/bearish territory
- Fill Between OB/OS: Blue semi-transparent fill between overbought/oversold thresholds highlighting neutral zone
- OB/OS Background Colors: Background coloring when MACD enters overbought/oversold zones
- Background Colors: Dynamic or monotone backgrounds indicating MACD state, or custom chart background
- Divergence Labels: "🐂" for bullish, "🐻" for bearish, "H Bull" for hidden bullish, "H Bear" for hidden bearish
- Divergence Lines: Colored lines connecting pivot points when divergences are detected
- Volume Climax Markers: ⚡ symbol for extremely high volume
- Volume Dry-Up Markers: 💧 symbol for extremely low volume
- Buy/Sell Strength Labels: Show signal strength percentage (e.g., "Buy Strength: 75%")
- Strong Top/Bottom Labels: "sTop" and "sBottom" for extreme level recoveries
- Secondary MACD Lines: Purple lines showing higher timeframe MACD
- Histogram MA: Orange line showing histogram moving average
- Histogram BB: Blue bands around histogram showing extreme zones
- StochMACD Lines: %K and %D lines with overbought/oversold thresholds
- Regression Forecast: Dotted blue lines extending forward with optional confidence bands
Signal Priority and Interpretation
Signals are generated independently and can occur simultaneously. Higher-priority signals generally indicate stronger setups:
1. MACD Cross with Multiple Filters - Highest priority: Requires MACD crossover plus all enabled filters (histogram, signal strength, cross quality) and secondary timeframe confirmation if enabled. These are the most reliable signals.
2. Zero-Line Cross - High priority: Indicates momentum shift. Can provide early warning signals before MACD crosses the signal line.
3. Divergence Signals - Medium-High priority: Pivot-based divergence is more reliable than simple divergence. Hidden divergence indicates continuation rather than reversal.
4. MACD Cross with Basic Filters - Medium priority: MACD crosses signal line with basic histogram filter. Less reliable alone but useful when combined with other confirmations.
Best practice: Wait for multiple confirmations. For example, a MACD crossover combined with divergence, volume confirmation, and secondary timeframe alignment provides the strongest setup.
Chart Requirements
For proper script functionality and compliance with TradingView requirements, ensure your chart displays:
- Symbol name: The trading pair or instrument name should be visible
- Timeframe: The chart timeframe should be clearly displayed
- Script name: "Ultimate MACD " should be visible in the indicator title
These elements help traders understand what they're viewing and ensure proper script identification. The script automatically includes this information in the indicator title and chart labels.
Performance Considerations
The script is optimized for performance:
- Calculations use efficient Pine Script functions (ta.ema, ta.sma, etc.) which are optimized by TradingView
- Conditional execution: Features only calculate when enabled
- Label management: Old labels are automatically deleted to prevent accumulation
- Array management: Divergence label arrays are limited to prevent memory accumulation
The script should perform well on all timeframes. On very long historical data with many enabled features, performance may be slightly slower, but it remains usable.
Known Limitations and Considerations
- Dynamic OB/OS levels can vary significantly based on recent MACD volatility. In very volatile markets, levels may be wider; in calm markets, they may be narrower.
- Volume confirmation requires sufficient historical volume data. On new instruments or very short timeframes, volume calculations may be less reliable.
- Higher timeframe MACD uses request.security() which may have slight delays on some data feeds.
- Stochastic MACD requires the histogram to have sufficient history. Very short periods on new charts may produce less reliable StochMACD values initially.
- Divergence detection requires sufficient historical data to identify pivot points. Very short lookback periods may produce false positives.
Practical Use Cases
The indicator can be configured for different trading styles and timeframes:
Swing Trading:
Use MACD(12,26,9) with secondary timeframe confirmation. Enable divergence detection. Use signal strength filter (threshold 50+) and cross quality filter (threshold 50+) for higher-quality signals. Enable histogram analysis tools for additional context.
Day Trading:
Use MACD(8,17,7) or use "Day Trading" preset with minimal histogram smoothing for faster signals. Enable zero-line cross alerts for early signals. Use volume confirmation with threshold 1.2-1.5. Enable histogram MA for momentum tracking.
Trend Following:
Use MACD(12,26,9) or longer periods (15,30,12) for smoother signals. Enable secondary timeframe confirmation for trend alignment. Hidden divergence signals are useful for trend continuation entries. Use cross quality filter to identify high-quality crossovers.
Reversal Trading:
Focus on divergence detection (pivot-based for accuracy) combined with zero-line crosses. Enable volume confirmation. Use histogram Bollinger Bands to identify extreme histogram zones. Enable StochMACD for overbought/oversold identification.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
Enable secondary timeframe MACD to see context from larger timeframes. For example, use daily MACD on hourly charts to understand the larger trend context. Enable secondary confirmation to require higher timeframe alignment for signals.
Practical Tips and Best Practices
Getting Started:
Start with default settings and observe MACD behavior. The default configuration (MACD 12,26,9 with EMA) is balanced and works well across different markets. After observing behavior, customize settings to match your trading style. Consider using configuration presets for quick setup.
Reducing Repainting:
All signals are based on confirmed bars, minimizing repainting. The script uses confirmed bar data for all calculations to ensure backtesting accuracy.
Signal Quality:
MACD crosses with multiple filters provide the highest-quality signals because they require alignment across multiple indicators. These signals have lower frequency but higher reliability. Use signal strength scores to identify the strongest signals (70+). Use cross quality scores to identify high-quality crossovers (70+).
Filter Combinations:
Start with histogram filter for basic momentum alignment, then add signal strength filter for moderate signals, then cross quality filter for high-quality crossovers. Combining all filters significantly reduces false signals but also reduces signal frequency. Find your balance based on your risk tolerance.
Volume Filtering:
Set volume threshold to 1.0 (default, effectively disabled) or lower to effectively disable volume filtering if you trade instruments with unreliable volume data or want to test without volume confirmation. Standard confirmation uses 1.2-1.5 threshold.
MACD Period Selection:
Standard MACD(12,26,9) provides balanced signals suitable for most trading. Shorter periods (8,17,7) for faster signals, longer (15,30,12) for smoother signals. Adjust based on your timeframe and trading style. Consider using configuration presets for optimized settings.
Moving Average Type:
EMA provides balanced responsiveness with smoothness. RMA is smoother and less responsive. WMA gives more weight to recent prices. SMA gives equal weight to all periods. Choose based on your preference for responsiveness vs. smoothness.
Divergence:
Pivot-based divergence is more reliable than simple divergence because it uses actual pivot points. Hidden divergence indicates continuation rather than reversal, useful for trend-following strategies. Adjust pivot lookback parameters to control sensitivity.
Dynamic Thresholds:
Dynamic OB/OS thresholds automatically adapt to volatility. In volatile markets, thresholds widen; in calm markets, they narrow. Adjust the multipliers to fine-tune sensitivity. Enable OB/OS background colors for visual indication.
Zero-Line Crosses:
Zero-line crosses indicate momentum shifts and can provide early warning signals before MACD crosses the signal line. Enable alerts for zero-line crosses to catch these early signals.
Alert Management:
Enable alert cooldown (default enabled, 5 bars) to prevent alert spam. Use alert type filter to only evaluate specific alert types. Signal debounce (default enabled, 3 bars) prevents duplicate MACD cross signals during choppy markets.

Futures Ultra CVD (Pure )Futures Ultra CVD (Pure)
Futures Ultra CVD (Pure) is a volume-driven Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) indicator designed to expose real buying and selling pressure behind price movement. Unlike price-only indicators, this script analyzes how volume is distributed within each bar to determine whether aggressive buyers or sellers are in control, then tracks how that pressure evolves over time.
This version is intentionally pure and ungated: it does not rely on external symbols, market filters, session bias, or macro confirmation. All signals are derived strictly from price, volume, and delta behavior of the active chart, making it suitable for futures, equities, crypto, and FX.
Core Concept: How CVD Is Calculated
For each bar, volume is split into buying pressure and selling pressure using the bar’s price position:
Buying volume increases as price closes closer to the high
Selling volume increases as price closes closer to the low
The difference between buying and selling volume forms Delta:
Positive delta = net aggressive buying
Negative delta = net aggressive selling
This delta is then accumulated into Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) using one of three user-selectable modes:
Total – running cumulative sum of all delta values
Periodic – rolling sum over a fixed lookback period
EMA – smoothed cumulative delta using an exponential average
This flexibility allows traders to choose between raw order-flow tracking or smoother, trend-like behavior depending on timeframe and instrument.
Visual Structure & Histogram Logic
The CVD is displayed as a column histogram, not a line, to emphasize momentum and pressure shifts.
Enhanced coloring provides additional context:
Brighter green/red bars indicate increasing momentum
Muted colors indicate stalling or weakening pressure
Optional footprint-style highlights appear when buy or sell volume overwhelms the opposite side by a user-defined imbalance factor
This allows traders to visually distinguish:
Strength vs weakness
Continuation vs exhaustion
Absorption and aggressive participation
Built-In Order Flow Signals
The script automatically detects and labels key order-flow events:
Strong Delta
Triggered when delta exceeds a user-defined threshold, highlighting unusually aggressive buying or selling.
Delta Surge
Detects sudden expansion in delta compared to the prior bar, often associated with breakout attempts or liquidation events.
Zero-Line Crosses
Marks transitions between net bullish and bearish participation as CVD crosses above or below zero.
CVD Continuation Logic (Trend Confirmation)
Beyond raw delta, the script evaluates CVD structure to identify continuation conditions:
A bullish continuation requires:
Positive and rising CVD
Strong buy delta
Confirmation from at least one of the following:
CVD above its EMA and SMA
Bullish price expansion
Sustained positive delta pressure
Bearish continuation follows the inverse logic.
These continuation signals are designed to confirm participation strength, not predict reversals.
Conflict Detection (Divergence Warning)
The indicator also flags conflict conditions, where:
Strong buying occurs while CVD remains negative
Strong selling occurs while CVD remains positive
These scenarios often precede failed breakouts, absorption zones, or short-term reversals and can be used as cautionary signals.
Alerts & Practical Use
All major events include built-in alerts:
Strong delta
Delta surge
CVD continuations
Zero-line crosses
Buy/sell imbalances
Conflict signals
Alerts can be set to trigger on bar close or intrabar in real time, depending on trader preference.
How Traders Typically Use This Indicator
Confirm breakouts with delta participation
Validate trends using CVD continuation instead of price alone
Identify absorption or exhaustion via conflicts and imbalances
Combine with price structure, VWAP, or market profile tools
This script is not a trading system by itself. It is a decision-support tool designed to reveal what price alone cannot: who is actually in control of the market.
On-Chart Symbols & What They Mean
This script uses a small number of visual symbols to communicate order-flow events clearly and consistently. All symbols are derived directly from the Cumulative Volume Delta calculations described above.
Δ+ (Green Up Arrow)
Strong Buy Delta
Indicates that buying pressure on the current bar exceeded the Strong Delta Threshold
Represents aggressive market buying dominating selling volume
Often appears during breakouts, trend acceleration, or initiative buying
This symbol does not imply direction by itself; it only confirms strong buyer participation.
Δ− (Red Down Arrow)
Strong Sell Delta
Indicates that selling pressure on the current bar exceeded the Strong Delta Threshold
Represents aggressive market selling dominating buying volume
Often appears during breakdowns, liquidation events, or initiative selling
Like Δ+, this symbol measures participation strength, not trade direction.
↑ (Green Label Up)
CVD Bullish Continuation
Appears when all of the following are present:
CVD is positive and increasing
Strong buy delta is detected
At least one confirmation condition is met:
CVD is above its EMA and SMA
Price shows bullish expansion
Consecutive positive delta bars (sustained buying pressure)
This symbol highlights trend continuation supported by volume, not a reversal signal.
↓ (Red Label Down)
CVD Bearish Continuation
Appears when:
CVD is negative and decreasing
Strong sell delta is detected
At least one confirmation condition is met:
CVD is below its EMA and SMA
Price shows bearish expansion
Consecutive negative delta bars (sustained selling pressure)
This indicates bearish continuation with participation confirmation.
Cyan / Orange Histogram Bars
Footprint-Style Volume Imbalance
Cyan bars indicate buy volume exceeds sell volume by the imbalance factor
Orange bars indicate sell volume exceeds buy volume by the imbalance factor
These bars highlight areas where one side is overwhelming the other, often associated with absorption, initiative moves, or failed auctions.
Bright vs Muted Histogram Colors
CVD Momentum State
Bright colors = CVD increasing in the direction of its current bias
Muted colors = CVD losing momentum or stalling
This allows quick visual identification of strengthening vs weakening participation.
Conflict Alerts (No Symbol by Default)
Delta vs CVD Disagreement
These conditions trigger alerts (but no fixed chart icon):
Strong buying while CVD remains negative
Strong selling while CVD remains positive
Conflicts often signal absorption, trap conditions, or short-term exhaustion.
Important Usage Notes
All symbols are informational, not trade entries.
Signals are calculated from price-based volume distribution, not true bid/ask data.
Results depend on the quality of volume data provided by the exchange and TradingView.

🔎 Notes & Limitations
This script is for visual planning and context, not trade execution.
Lot sizing is based on the selected EP/SL and your inputs; always double-check broker rules, symbol specifications, and contract size.
Object-heavy features (boxes/lines/tables) may increase load on lower-end devices or very small timeframes.
Adaptive Scaled LevelsThis indicator allows users to manually define a list of price levels (e.g., round or psychological numbers) and automatically scales them to fit any asset's current price range using an intelligent anchor point. It then plots dynamic horizontal zones ideal for identifying potential supply/demand or reaction areas.
How It Works (Technical Methodology)
Manual Price List Input
Users enter a comma-separated list of price levels via a text area input (default example: 50,100,...,1400). These act as a "template" grid – often round numbers, psychological levels, or custom targets.
Auto-Scaling Logic (Core Innovation)
When enabled:
Calculates the average of the input list.
Determines a smart anchor price:
Default (Lock = 0): Close price of the highest-volume bar in the last user-defined lookback period (default 200 bars), fetched from a selectable timeframe (default Daily) via request.security().
Override: User can manually lock the anchor to any fixed price.
Computes a scale factor = Anchor / List Average.
Multiplies every input level by this factor to adapt the entire grid to the current market (e.g., scales low-price templates to BTC's 60k+ range).
Zone Construction
For each scaled level:
Creates a horizontal box centered on the level.
Height = Level × user-defined percentage (default 0.5%) for volatility-adjusted thickness.
Zones extend infinitely to the right for continuous reference.
Supply/Demand Coloring
Levels above current close: Supply color (default light gray) – potential resistance/overhead supply.
Levels below current close: Demand color (default cyan) – potential support/underlying demand.
Visual Elements
Transparent filled boxes with borders.
Optional labels showing "S" (Supply) or "D" (Demand) plus exact price.
Clean, non-cluttering design – redraws only on last bar for performance.
How to Use
This tool is perfect for plotting adaptive psychological/round number grids across any asset without manual adjustment.
Common Template: Use evenly spaced round numbers (e.g., 100 increments) as input – the script handles scaling.
BTC/ETH/Crypto: Enable auto-scaling with Daily timeframe anchor for high-volume alignment (often near fair value).
Forex/Stocks: Lower zone height % for tighter zones; use shorter lookback or lock anchor for stability.
Trading Applications:
Anticipate reactions/bounces at scaled levels (confluence with price action, volume, or order blocks).
Supply zones (above price): Potential short entries or take-profit targets.
Demand zones (below price): Potential long entries or stop-loss placement below.
Override anchor for specific analysis (e.g., lock to all-time high).
Best Practices: Combine with trend direction, higher-timeframe structure, or liquidity concepts for higher-probability setups.
Highly versatile – works on any timeframe/asset, especially volatile ones like cryptocurrencies where fixed levels quickly become irrelevant.
