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

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Why do signals appear in the past, not at the current bar
A: In Confirmed and Relaxed modes, signals appear at confirmed pivots, which requires waiting for right-side confirmation bars (default 3). This creates a delay but prevents repainting. Use Real-time mode if you want current-bar signals without pivot confirmation.
Q: Can I use this for automated trading
A: You can create alert-based automation, but understand that Confirmed mode signals appear AFTER the pivot with delay, so your entry will not be at the pivot price. Real-time mode signals can change as the current bar develops. Automation requires careful consideration of these factors.
Q: How do I know which confluence score to use
A: Start with 60. Observe which patterns work on your symbol/timeframe. If too many false signals, increase to 70-75. If too few signals, decrease to 55. Quality vs. quantity tradeoff.
Q: Do regular divergences mean I should enter a reversal trade immediately
A: No. Regular divergences indicate momentum exhaustion, which is a WARNING sign that trend may reverse, not a confirmation that it will. Use confluence score, market context, support/resistance, and your strategy rules to make entry decisions. Many divergences fail.
Q: What's the difference between regular and hidden divergence
A: Regular divergence = price and momentum move in opposite directions at extremes = potential reversal signal. Hidden divergence = price and momentum move in opposite directions during pullbacks = potential continuation signal. Hidden divergence suggests the pullback is just a correction within the larger trend.
Q: Why does the pressure zone color sometimes conflict with the divergence direction
A: Pressure is real-time current bar analysis. Divergence is confirmed pivot analysis from the past. They measure different things at different times. A bullish divergence confirmed 3 bars ago might appear during current selling pressure. This is normal.
Q: Can I use this on stocks without volume data
A: No. Volume is required for pressure analysis and behavioral pattern detection. Use only on assets with reliable volume reporting.
Q: How often should I expect signals
A: Depends on timeframe and settings. Daily charts might produce 5-10 signals per month. 1-hour charts might produce 20-30. 15-minute charts might produce 50-100. Adjust confluence threshold to control frequency.
Q: Can I modify the code
A: Yes, this is open source. You can modify for personal use. If you publish a modified version, please credit the original and ensure your publication meets TradingView guidelines.
Q: What if I disagree with a pattern's confluence score
A: The scoring weights are based on general observations and may not suit your specific strategy or asset. You can modify the code to adjust weights if you have data-driven reasons to do so.
Final Notes
VMDM - Volume, Momentum and Divergence Master is an educational multi-layer market analysis system designed to teach systematic pattern recognition through transparent, confluence-weighted signal detection.

HD Trades📊 ICT Confluence Toolkit (FVG, OB, SMT)
This All-in-One indicator is designed for Smart Money Concepts (SMC) traders, providing visual confirmation and signaling for three critical Inner Circle Trader (ICT) tools directly on your chart: Fair Value Gaps (FVG), Order Blocks (OB), and Smart Money Technique (SMT) Divergence.
It eliminates the need to load multiple indicators, streamlining your analysis for high-probability setups.
🔑 Key Features
1. Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Automatic Detection: Instantly highlights bullish (buy-side) and bearish (sell-side) imbalances using the standard three-candle pattern.
Real-Time Mitigation: Gaps are drawn until price trades into the FVG zone, at which point the indicator automatically "mitigates" and removes the box, ensuring your chart stays clean.
2. Order Blocks (OB)
Impulse-Based Logic: Identifies valid Order Blocks (the last opposing candle) confirmed by a strong, structure-breaking impulse move, quantified using an Average True Range (ATR) multiplier for dynamic sensitivity.
Mitigation Tracking: Bullish OBs are tracked until broken below the low, and Bearish OBs until broken above the high, distinguishing between active supply/demand zones.
3. SMT Divergence (Smart Money Technique)
Multi-Asset Comparison: Utilizes the Pine Script request.security() function to compare the swing structure of the current chart against a correlated asset (e.g., EURUSD vs. GBPUSD, or ES vs. NQ).
Signal Labels: Plots clear 🐂 SMT (Bullish) or 🐻 SMT (Bearish) labels directly on the chart when a divergence in market extremes is detected, signaling a potential reversal or continuation based on internal market weakness.
⚙️ Customization
All three components are toggleable and feature customizable colors and lookback periods, allowing you to fine-tune the indicator to your specific trading strategy and preferred timeframes.
Crucial Setup: For SMT Divergence to function, you must enter a correlated symbol (e.g., NQ1!, ES1!, or a related Forex pair) in the indicator settings.

Orderbook Table
This is an order book style trading volume map
that upgraded the price from my first script to label
2. One-line Introduction
A visual heatmap-style orderbook simulator that displays volume and delta clustering across price levels.
3. Overall Description
Orderbook Table is a powerful visual tool designed to replicate an on-chart approximation of a traditional order book.
It scans historical candles within a specified lookback window and accumulates traded volume into price "bins" or levels.
Each level is color-coded based on total volume and directional bias (delta), offering a layered view of where market interest was concentrated.
The indicator approximates order flow by analyzing each candle's directional volume, separating bullish and bearish volume.
With adjustable parameters such as level depth, price bin density, delta sensitivity, and opacity, it provides a highly customizable visualization.
Displayed directly on the chart, each level shows the volume at that price zone, along with a price label, offset to the right of the current bar.
Traders can use this tool to detect high liquidity zones, support/resistance clusters, and volume imbalances that may precede future price movements.
4. Key Benefits (Title + Description)
✅ On-Chart Volume Heatmap
Shows volume distribution across price levels in real-time directly on the price chart, creating a live “orderbook” view.
✅ Delta-Based Bias Coloring
Color changes based on net buying/selling pressure (delta), making aggressive demand/supply zones easy to spot.
✅ High Customizability
Users can adjust lookback bars, price bins, opacity levels, and delta usage to fit any market condition or asset class.
✅ Lightweight Simulation
Approximates orderbook depth using candle data without needing L2 feed access—works on all assets and timeframes.
✅ Clear Visual Anchoring
Volume quantities and price levels are offset to the right for easy viewing without cluttering the active chart area.
✅ Fast Market Context Recognition
Quickly identify price levels where volume concentrated historically, improving decision-making for entries/exits.
5. Indicator User Guide
📌 Basic Concept
Orderbook Table analyzes a configurable number of past bars and distributes traded volume into price "bins."
Each bin shows how much volume occurred around that price level, optionally adjusted for bullish/bearish candle direction.
⚙️ Settings Overview
Lookback Bars: Number of candles to scan for volume history
Levels (Total): Number of price levels to display around the current price
Price Bins: Granularity of price segmentation for volume distribution
Shift Right: How far to offset labels to the right of the current bar
Max/Min Opacity: Controls visual strength of volume coloring
Use Candle Delta Approx.: If enabled, colors the volume based on candle direction (green for up, red for down)
📈 Example Timing
Look for green clusters (bullish bias) below current price → possible strong demand zones
Price enters a high-volume level with previously aggressive buyers (green), suggesting support
📉 Example Timing
Red clusters (bearish bias) above current price can act as resistance or supply zones
Price stalling at a red-heavy volume band may indicate exhaustion or reversal opportunity
🧪 Recommended Use
Use as a support/resistance mapping tool in ranging and trending markets
Pair with candlestick analysis or momentum indicators for refined entry/exit points
Combine with VWAP or volume profile for multi-dimensional volume insight
🔒 Cautions
This is an approximation, not a true L2 orderbook—volume is based on historical candles, not actual limit order data
In low-volume markets or higher timeframes, bin granularity may be too coarse—adjust "Price Bins" accordingly
Delta calculation is based on open-close direction and does not reflect true buy/sell volume splits
Avoid overinterpreting low-opacity (light color) zones—they may indicate low interest rather than true resistance/support

Forever ModelForever Model is a comprehensive trading framework that visualizes market structure through Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergences, and order block confirmations. The indicator identifies potential price rotations by tracking internal liquidity zones, correlation breaks between assets, and confirmation signals across multiple timeframes.
Designed for clarity and repeatability, the model presents a structured visual logic that supports manual analysis while maintaining flexibility across different assets and timeframes. All components are non-repainting, ensuring historical accuracy and reliable backtesting.
Description
The model operates through a three-part sequence that forms the visual foundation for identifying potential market rotations:
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
FVGs are price imbalances detected on higher timeframes—areas where price moved rapidly between candles, leaving an inefficiency that may be revisited. The indicator identifies both bullish and bearish FVGs, displaying them with color-coded levels that extend until mitigated.
: Chart showing FVG detection with colored lines indicating bullish (green) and bearish (red) gaps
Smart Money Technique (SMT)
SMT detects divergence between the current chart asset and a correlated pair. When one asset makes a higher high while the other forms a lower high (or vice versa), it indicates a potential shift in delivery. The indicator draws visual lines connecting these divergence points and can filter SMTs to only display those occurring within FVG ranges.
: Chart showing SMT divergence lines between two correlated assets with labels indicating the pair name]
Order Block Confirmations (OB)
When price confirms a signal by crossing a pivot level, an Order Block is created. The confirmation line extends from the pivot point, labeled as "OB+" for bullish signals or "OB-" for bearish signals. The latest OB extends to the current bar, while previous OBs remain fixed at their confirmation points.
: Chart showing OB confirmation lines with OB+ and OB- labels at confirmation points]
Key Features
Higher Timeframe (HTF) Detection
FVGs are detected on a higher timeframe than the current chart, with automatic HTF selection based on the current timeframe or manual override options. This ensures that internal liquidity zones are identified from the appropriate structural context.
External Range Liquidity (ERL)
Tracks the latest higher timeframe pivot highs and lows, marking external liquidity levels that may be revisited. ERL levels are displayed as horizontal lines with optional labels, providing context for potential continuation targets.
: Chart showing ERL lines at recent HTF pivot points
Signal Creation and Confirmation System
The model creates pending signals when FVG levels are mitigated. Signals confirm when price closes beyond a pivot level, creating the OB confirmation line. Stop levels are automatically calculated from the maximum (bearish) or minimum (bullish) price between signal creation and confirmation.
SMT Filtering Options
Display all SMTs or only those within FVG ranges
Require SMT for signal confirmation (optional filter)
Automatic or manual SMT pair selection
Support for both correlated and inverse correlated pairs
Directional Bias Filter
Filter FVG detection to show only bullish bias, bearish bias, or both. This allows analysts to align with higher timeframe structure or focus on unidirectional setups.
Confirmation Line Management
Toggle to extend only the latest confirmation line or all confirmation lines
Transparent label backgrounds with colored text (red for bearish, green for bullish)
Automatic cleanup of old confirmation lines (keeps last 50)
Labels positioned at line end (latest) or middle (older lines)
Position Sizing Calculator
Optional position sizing based on account balance, risk percentage or fixed amount, and instrument-specific contract sizes. Supports prop firm calculations and can display position size, entry, and stop levels in the dashboard.
Information Dashboard
A customizable floating table displays:
Current timeframe and HTF
Remaining time in current bar
Current bias direction
Latest confirmed signal details (type, size, entry, stop)
Pending signal status
The dashboard can be repositioned, resized, and styled to match your preferences.
Special Range Creation
When signals confirm, the model can automatically create special range levels from stop prices. These levels persist on the chart as important reference points, even after mitigation, serving as potential reversal zones for future signals.
Label and Visualization Controls
Toggle FVG labels on/off
Toggle confirmation lines on/off
Customizable colors for bullish and bearish FVGs
ERL color customization
SMT line width adjustment
Order Flow Integration (Optional)
The indicator includes optional Open Interest (OI) based special range detection, allowing integration with order flow analysis for enhanced context.
Technical Notes
All components are non-repainting—once formed, they remain on the chart
FVGs cannot be mitigated on their creation bar
Signal-based special ranges persist even after mitigation (important stop levels)
SMT detection supports both HTF and chart timeframe modes
Maximum 50 confirmation lines are maintained for performance
The model is designed to work across all asset classes and timeframes, providing a consistent framework for identifying potential market rotations through the interaction of internal liquidity, correlation breaks, and confirmation signals, this does not constitute as trading advice, past performance is no indication of future performance , this is entirely done for entertainment and educational purposes
Elliott Wave + SMC Fusion # Elliott Wave + SMC Fusion
## TITLE:
Elliott Wave + Smart Money Concepts Fusion
---
## SHORT DESCRIPTION:
Automated Elliott Wave pattern detection with Smart Money Concepts confirmation, EWO oscillator integration, and confluence scoring system.
---
## FULL DESCRIPTION:
### 📊 OVERVIEW
This indicator combines three powerful trading methodologies into a unified system:
- **Elliott Wave Theory** - Automated detection of Wave 1-2 impulse patterns
- **Smart Money Concepts (SMC)** - Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps for institutional confirmation
- **Elliott Wave Oscillator (EWO)** - Momentum-based signal validation
The core concept is to identify high-probability Wave 3 entries by detecting completed Wave 1-2 structures and validating them with SMC and momentum indicators.
---
### 🔧 HOW IT WORKS
**1. Pattern Detection (ZigZag Method)**
- Uses pivot high/low detection to identify swing points
- Validates Wave 2 retracement using Fibonacci ratios (default: 38.2% - 88.6%)
- Requires minimum wave size to filter noise
- Applies confirmation bars to avoid premature signals
**2. Wave Projections**
- Wave 3 target: Fibonacci extension of Wave 1 (default: 1.618)
- Wave 4 retracement: Percentage of Wave 3 (default: 38.2%)
- Wave 5 projection: Extension of Wave 1 from Wave 4
**3. Smart Money Validation**
- **Order Blocks**: Identifies last opposing candle before breakout (institutional footprint)
- **Fair Value Gaps**: Detects price imbalances for potential support/resistance
**4. EWO Confirmation**
- Calculates momentum: (EMA5 / EMA34 - 1) × 100
- Signal line crossovers confirm trend direction
- Strong signals occur at extremes (< -13 or > 13 threshold)
**5. Confluence Scoring (0-100%)**
Points awarded for:
- Fibonacci quality of Wave 2 retracement (10-30 pts)
- Order Block presence (15 pts)
- Fair Value Gap presence (10 pts)
- Volume confirmation (10-15 pts)
- Trend alignment with EMA50 (10 pts)
- EWO confirmation (10-20 pts)
---
### 🎯 UNIQUE FEATURES
**Pattern Locking System**
- Once a valid pattern is detected, it locks until:
- Pattern invalidates (price breaks Wave 0)
- Pattern completes (Wave 5 reached)
- Auto-timeout (configurable bars)
- Prevents rapid signal flipping and false alerts
**Signal Stability Controls**
- Adjustable cooldown between signals (default: 20 bars)
- Minimum bar distance between wave points
- Direction change requirement option
- Confirmation bars after Wave 2 formation
**Visual Wave Tracking**
- Solid lines for impulse waves (0→1, 2→3, 4→5)
- Dashed lines for corrective waves (1→2, 3→4)
- Numbered labels on each wave point
- Real-time projection lines to targets
**Comprehensive Dashboard**
- Current wave status and lock state
- Pattern grade (A+ to D based on confluence)
- Projected vs actual wave levels (✓ when completed)
- SMC confirmation status
- Risk/Reward ratio calculation
- EWO trend direction
---
### 📈 TRADING APPLICATION
**Entry Strategy**
- Wait for Wave 1-2 pattern detection (diamond signal)
- Check confluence score (>65% = higher probability)
- Verify EWO alignment with pattern direction
- Enter after 30% retracement of Wave 2 (customizable)
**Risk Management**
- Stop Loss: Below Wave 0 (with buffer)

X ATM Option Ladder Premium (1DTE Dynamic Wings)X ATM Option Ladder Premium is a specialized options-market visualization tool designed for intraday tracking of at-the-money (ATM) option premiums in index ETFs such as QQQ and SPY.The script dynamically identifies the ATM contract on every bar and plots real-time call-versus-put premium differences, with columns for positive/negative diffs and markers (blue dots for positive, red squares for negative) to represent upward price ticks in the option premiums.By analyzing premium levels and direction data from multiple strikes within a dynamic ± range (approximating 0.25 delta wings for 1DTE), the indicator produces a real-time histogram that reflects how premium skew evolves relative to the underlying price.Complementary status tables display the active strike, ladder position, IV-derived wing depth, and warnings when the underlying moves outside the monitored range.Core FeaturesDynamic ATM selection – Each bar automatically maps to the option contract closest to the underlying’s price.Bidirectional premium comparison – Visual separation of call and put premiums (optional columns), with premium diff as the primary histogram and “up” markers highlighting contracts trading above their prior close.Multi-strike ladder analysis – Samples strikes within IV-adjusted wings (±2-5 points typical for 1DTE at 15-25% IV) from the defined center to capture skew and momentum near the money; uses VIX1D for real-time IV approximation.Optimized data calls – Uses tuple requests to minimize request.security() load, enabling a wider ladder within TradingView limits.Session awareness – Restricts processing to the 9:30 AM – 4:15 PM ET option-trading window.Status dashboard – Displays date, active strike, warning flags (“⚠︎ / •outside”), wing parameters (e.g., “±3 (VIX1D=20%)”), and ladder details directly on chart.Use CaseThe indicator is intended for intraday traders and options-premium analysts who want to visualize how short-term pricing dynamics and sentiment migrate across the ATM region as the underlying moves. Typical applications include:Monitoring real-time call/put premium imbalances to detect skew shifts, put-call parity deviations, or implied vol divergences.Identifying premium clustering near the money—where theta decay or gamma effects can signal underlying price acceleration or pinning.Detecting when price exits the monitored ladder (⚠︎ / •outside), signaling a potential regime change or requiring manual recentering.Integrating premium flow into broader volatility or ETF models (e.g., VIX alignment or QQQ/SPY skew confirmation for straddle/strangle trades).Technical NotesStatic-center architecture ensures historical consistency: prior bars remain fixed even after re-centering.Ladder depth is dynamically computed for 1DTE 0.25Δ wings via VIX1D IV (fallback to fixed ±3); capped at ±5 to stay under TradingView’s security-call limits.auto_nudge is enabled to smoothly align the selected lane with the active ATM without requiring user intervention.Indicator is optimized for 1-minute to 5-minute charts; use overlay = false to preserve scale clarity.

Michael's FVG Detector
═══════════════════════════════════════
A clean and efficient Fair Value Gap (FVG) indicator for TradingView that helps traders identify market imbalances with precision.
───────────────────────────────────────
Overview
───────────────────────────────────────
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are price inefficiencies that occur when there's a gap between the wicks of candlesticks, indicating rapid price movement with minimal trading activity. These gaps often act as support/resistance zones where price may return to "fill the gap."
This indicator automatically detects and visualizes both bullish and bearish FVGs on any timeframe, making it easy to spot potential trading opportunities.
───────────────────────────────────────
Features
───────────────────────────────────────
Core Functionality
Automatic FVG Detection : Identifies Fair Value Gaps in real-time as they form
Bullish & Bearish FVGs : Detects both upward and downward price gaps
3-Candle Pattern : Uses classic FVG logic (current candle low > high from 2 bars ago for bullish, vice versa for bearish)
Gap Size Display : Shows the exact size of each FVG in ticks directly on the box
Confirmed Bars Only : Only draws FVGs on confirmed bars to prevent repainting
Customization
Color Settings : Fully customizable colors for bullish and bearish FVGs with transparency control
Text Color : Configurable color for the tick size labels
Default Styling : Comes with sensible defaults (20% transparency, dark gray labels)
Performance Optimization
Smart Cleanup : Automatically removes boxes outside the visible chart area
Efficient Rendering : Maintains optimal performance even on lower timeframes
No Repainting : Uses confirmed bars only for reliable signals
───────────────────────────────────────
How It Works
───────────────────────────────────────
Detection Logic
Bullish FVG:
Current bar's low is higher than the high from 2 bars ago
Creates an upward gap that price left behind during bullish momentum
Bearish FVG:
Current bar's high is lower than the low from 2 bars ago
Creates a downward gap that price left behind during bearish momentum
Visual Display
Each detected FVG is displayed as:
A semi-transparent colored box spanning the gap area
The box extends from bar -2 to the current bar
Gap size in ticks shown at the bottom-left of each box
Singular/plural formatting ("1 tick" vs "X ticks")
───────────────────────────────────────
Performance Notes
───────────────────────────────────────
Cleanup runs every 50 bars to maintain optimal performance
Only creates boxes on confirmed bars (no real-time repainting)
Efficiently manages memory by removing off-screen boxes
Suitable for both manual and automated trading strategies

BTC CME Gaps Detector [SwissAlgo]BTC CME Gaps Detector
Track Unfilled Gaps & Identify Price Magnets
------------------------------------------------------
Overview
The BTC CME Gap Detector identifies and tracks unfilled price gaps on any timeframe (1-minute recommended for scalping) to gauge potential trading bias.
Verify Gap Behavior Yourself : Use TradingView's Replay Mode on the 1-Minute chart to observe how the price interacts with gaps. Load the BTC1! ticker (Bitcoin CME Futures), enable Replay Mode, and play forward through time (for example: go back 15 days). You may observe patterns such as price frequently returning to fill gaps, nearest gaps acting as near-term targets, and gaps serving as potential support/resistance zones. Some gaps may fill quickly, while others may remain open for longer periods. This hands-on analysis lets you independently assess how gaps may influence price movement in real market conditions and whether you may use this indicator as a complement to your trading analysis.
------------------------------------------------------
Purpose
Price gaps occur when there is a discontinuity between consecutive candles - when the current candle's low is above the previous candle's high (gap up), or when the current candle's high is below the previous candle's low (gap down).
This indicator identifies and tracks these gaps on any timeframe to help traders:
Identify gap zones that may attract price (potential "price magnets")
Monitor gap fill progression
Assess potential directional bias based on nearest unfilled gaps (long, short)
Analyze market structure and liquidity imbalances
------------------------------------------------------
Why Use This Indicator?
Universal Gap Detection : Identifies all gaps on any timeframe (1-minute, hourly, daily, etc.)
Multi-Candle Mitigation Tracking : Detects gap fills that occur across multiple candles
Distance Analysis : Shows percentage distance to nearest bullish and bearish gaps
Visual Representation : Color-coded boxes indicate gap status (active vs. mitigated)
Age Filtering : Option to display only gaps within specified time periods (3/6/12/24 months), as older gaps may lose relevance
ATR-Based Sizing : Minimum gap size adjusts to instrument volatility to filter noise (i.e. small gaps)
------------------------------------------------------
Trading Concept
Gaps represent price zones where no trading occurred. Historical market behavior suggests that unfilled gaps may attract price action as markets tend to revisit areas of incomplete price discovery. This phenomenon creates potential trading opportunities:
Bullish gaps (above current price) may act as upside targets where the price could move to fill the gap
Bearish gaps (below current price) may act as downside targets where price could move to fill the gap
The nearest gap often provides directional bias, as closer gaps may have a higher probability of being filled in the near term
This indicator helps quantify gap proximity and provides a visual reference for these potential target zones.
EXAMPLE
Step 1: Bearish Gaps Appear Below Price
Step 2: Price Getting Close to Fill Gap
Step 3: Gap Mitigated Gap
------------------------------------------------------
Recommended Setup
Timeframe: 1-minute chart recommended for maximum gap detection frequency. Works on all timeframes (higher timeframes will show fewer, larger gaps).
Symbol: Any tradable instrument. Originally designed for BTC1! (CME Bitcoin Futures) but compatible with all symbols.
Settings:
ATR Length: 14 (default)
Min Gap Size: 0.5x ATR (adjust based on timeframe and noise level)
Gap Age Limit: 3 months (configurable)
Max Historical Gaps: 300 (adjustable 1-500)
------------------------------------------------------
How It Works
Gap Detection : Identifies price discontinuities on every candle where:
Gap up: current candle low > previous candle high
Gap down: current candle high < previous candle low
Minimum gap size filter (ATR-based) eliminates insignificant gaps
Mitigation Tracking : Monitors when price touches both gap boundaries. A gap is marked as filled when the price has touched both the top and bottom of the gap zone, even if this occurs across multiple candles.
Visual Elements :
Green boxes: Unfilled gaps above current price (potential bullish targets)
Red boxes: Unfilled gaps below current price (potential bearish targets)
Gray boxes: Filled gaps (historical reference)
Labels: Display gap type, price level, and distance percentage
Analysis Table: Shows :
Distance % to nearest bullish gap (above price)
Distance % to nearest bearish gap (below price)
Trade bias (LONG if nearest gap is above, SHORT if nearest gap is below)
------------------------------------------------------
Key Features
Detects gaps on any timeframe (1m, 5m, 1h, 1D, etc.)
Boxes extend 500 bars forward for active gaps, stop at the fill bar for mitigated gaps
Real-time distance calculations update on every candle
Configurable age filter removes outdated gaps
ATR multiplier ensures gap detection adapts to market volatility and timeframe

FVG Session Break Strategy with ATR RR🧠 FVG Session Break Strategy with ATR RR — Timezone-Aware, Session-Savvy, and Risk-Calibrated
This strategy captures high-probability reversals and continuations by combining Fair Value Gap (FVG) imbalances with session-based breakout logic and ATR-calibrated risk management. It’s designed for traders who want to exploit structural inefficiencies during key market sessions — with precision and portability across global exchanges.
🔍 Core Logic:
Fair Value Gap Detection: Identifies bullish and bearish FVGs using a 3-bar displacement pattern.
Session Breakout Engine: Tracks session highs and lows (Asian, London, NY) and triggers trades only when price breaks these levels — ensuring trades occur at meaningful inflection points.
ATR-Based RR Control: Dynamically sizes stop-loss and take-profit levels using ATR × multiplier, maintaining consistent risk across volatility regimes.
🌐 Timezone-Aware Session Logic:
Session boundaries are defined in UTC-5 (e.g., NY: 0930–1600) but automatically converted to the exchange’s local timezone using timestamp("Etc/GMT+5", ...). This ensures:
Accurate session detection across all markets and assets
No manual timezone adjustments needed
Robust performance on crypto, forex, and global equities
📈 Visuals:
Session highs and lows plotted in orange
Bullish and bearish FVGs marked with green and red triangles
Strategy entries and exits shown on chart with full RR logic
This strategy is ideal for traders who want to combine structural edge with session context and disciplined risk.
nOI + Funding + CVD • strategynOI + Funding + CVD Strategy
Overview
This strategy is designed for cryptocurrency trading on platforms like TradingView, focusing on perpetual futures markets. It combines three key indicators—Normalized Open Interest (nOI), Funding Rate, and Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)—to generate buy and sell signals for long and short positions. The strategy aims to capitalize on market imbalances, such as overextended open interest, funding rate extremes, and volume deltas, which often signal potential reversals or continuations in trending markets.
The script supports pyramiding (up to 10 positions), uses percentage-based position sizing (default 10% of equity per trade), and allows customization of trade directions (longs and shorts can be enabled/disabled independently). It includes multiple signal systems for entries, various exit mechanisms (including stop-loss, take-profit, time-based exits, and conditional closes based on indicators), a Martingale add-on system for averaging positions during drawdowns, and handling of opposite signals (ignore, close, or reverse).
This strategy is not financial advice; backtest thoroughly and use at your own risk. It requires data sources for Open Interest (OI) and Funding Rates, which are fetched via TradingView's security functions (e.g., from Binance for funding premiums).
Key Indicators
1. Normalized Open Interest (nOI)
Group: Open Interest
Purpose: Measures the relative level of open interest over a lookback window to identify overbought (high OI) or oversold (low OI) conditions, which can indicate potential exhaustion in trends.
Calculation:
Fetches OI data (close) from the symbol's standard ticker (e.g., "{symbol}_OI").
Normalizes OI within a user-defined window (default: 500 bars) using min-max scaling: (OI - min_OI) / (max_OI - min_OI) * 100.
Upper threshold (default: 70%): Signals potential short opportunities when crossed from above.
Lower threshold (default: 30%): Signals potential long opportunities when crossed from below.
Visualization: Plotted as a line (teal above upper, red below lower, gray in between). Horizontal lines at upper, mid (50%), lower, and a separator at 102%.
Notes: Handles non-crypto symbols by adjusting timeframe to daily if intraday. Errors if no OI data available.
2. Funding Rate
Group: Funding Rate
Purpose: Tracks the average funding rate (premium index) to detect market sentiment extremes. Positive funding suggests bull bias (longs pay shorts), negative suggests bear bias.
Calculation:
Fetches premium index data from Binance (e.g., "binance:{base}usdt_premium").
Supports lower timeframe aggregation (default: enabled, using 1-min TF) for smoother data.
Averages open and close premiums, clamps values, and scales/shifts for plotting (base: 150, scale: 1000x).
Upper threshold (default: 1.0%): Overheat for shorts.
Lower threshold (default: 1.0%): Overcool for longs.
Ultra level (default: 1.8%): Extreme for additional short signals.
Smoothing: Uses inverse weighted moving average (IWMA) or lower-TF aggregation to reduce noise.
Visualization: Shifted plot (green positive, red negative) with filled areas. Horizontal lines for overheat, overcool, base (0%), and ultra.
Notes: Custom ticker option for non-standard symbols.
3. Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)
Group: CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta)
Purpose: Measures net buying/selling pressure via volume delta, normalized to identify divergences or confirmations with price.
Calculation:
Delta: +volume if close > open, -volume if close < open.
Cumulative: Rolling cumsum over a window (default: 500 bars), smoothed with EMA (default: 20).
Normalized: Scaled by absolute max in window (-1 to 1 range).
Scaled/shifted for plotting (base: 300 or 0 if anchored, scale: 120x).
Upper threshold (default: 1.0%): Over for shorts.
Lower threshold (default: 1.0%): Under for longs.
Visualization: Shifted plot (aqua positive, purple negative) with filled areas. Horizontal lines for over, under, and separator (default: 252).
Filter Options (for Signal A):
Enable filter (default: false).
Require sign match (Long ≥0, Short ≤0).
Require extreme zones.
Require momentum (rising/falling over N bars, default: 3).
Signal Logics for Entries
Entries are triggered by buy/sell signals from multiple systems (A, B, C, D), filtered by direction toggles and entry conditions.
Signal System A: OI + Funding (with optional CVD filter)
Enabled: Default true.
Sell (Short): nOI > upper threshold, falling over N bars (default: 3), delta ≥ threshold (default: 3%), funding > overheat, and CVD filter OK.
Buy (Long): nOI < lower threshold, rising over N bars (default: 3), delta ≥ threshold (default: 3%), funding < overcool, and CVD filter OK.
Signal System B: Short - Funding Crossunder + Filters
Enabled: Default true.
Sell (Short): Funding crosses under overheat level, optional: CVD > over, nOI < upper.
Signal System C: Short - Ultra Funding
Enabled: Default false.
Sell (Short): Funding crosses ultra level (up or down, both default true).
Signal System D: Long - Funding Crossover + Filters
Enabled: Default true.
Buy (Long): Funding crosses over overcool level, optional: CVD < under, nOI > lower.
Combined: Sell if A/B/C active; Buy if A/D active.
Entry Filters
Cooldown: Optional pause between entries (default: false, 3 bars).
Max Entries: Limit pyramiding (default: true, 6 max).
Entries only if both filters pass and direction allowed.
Opposite Signal Handling
Mode: Ignore (default), Reverse (close and enter opposite), or Close (exit only).
Processed before regular entries.
Position Management
Martingale (3 Steps):
Enabled per step (default: all true).
Triggers add-ons at loss levels (defaults: 5%, 8%, 11%) by adding % to position (default: 100% each).
Resets on position close.
Break Even:
Enabled (default: true).
Activates at profit threshold (default: 5%), sets SL better by offset (default: 0.1%).
Exit Systems
Multiple exits checked in sequence.
Exit 1: SL/TP
Enabled: Separate for long/short (default: true).
SL: % from avg price (defaults: 1% long/short).
TP: % from avg price (defaults: 2% long/short).
Exit 2: Funding
Enabled: Separate for long (up) / short (down) (default: true).
Long Exit: Funding > upper exit threshold (default: 0.8%).
Short Exit: Funding < lower exit threshold (default: 0.8%).

Volume Cluster Support and Resistance Levels [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
This indicator identifies statistically significant support and resistance levels through volume cluster analysis, isolating price zones characterized by elevated trading activity and institutional participation. By quantifying areas where volume concentration exceeded historical norms, it reveals price levels with demonstrated supply-demand imbalances that exhibit persistent influence on subsequent price action. The methodology is asset-agnostic and timeframe-independent, applicable across equities, cryptocurrencies, forex, and commodities from intraday to weekly intervals.
🟢 Key Features
1. Support and Resistance Levels
The indicator scans historical price data to identify bars where volume exceeds a user-defined threshold multiplier relative to the rolling average. For each qualifying bar, a representative price is calculated using the average of high, low, and close. Proximate price levels within a specified percentage range are then aggregated into discrete clusters using volume-weighted averaging, eliminating redundant signals. Clusters are ranked by cumulative volume to determine statistical significance. Finally, the indicator plots horizontal levels at each cluster price: support levels (green) below current price indicate zones where historical buying pressure exceeded selling pressure, while resistance levels (red) above current price mark zones where sellers historically dominated. These levels represent areas of established liquidity and price discovery, where institutional order flow previously concentrated.
The Touch Count (T) metric quantifies historical price interaction frequency, while Total Volume (TV) measures aggregate trading activity at each level, providing objective criteria for assessing level strength and trade execution decisions.
2. Volume Histogram
A histogram appears below the price chart, displaying relative volume for each bar within the lookback period, with bar height scaled to the maximum volume observed. Green bars represent up-periods (close > open) indicating buying pressure, while red bars show down-periods (close < open) indicating selling pressure. This visualization helps you confirm the validity of support/resistance levels by seeing where volume actually spiked, identify accumulation/distribution patterns, and validate breakouts by checking if they occur on above-average volume.
3. Built-in Alerts
Automated alerts trigger when price crosses below support levels or breaks above resistance levels, allowing you to monitor multiple assets without constant chart-watching.
4. Customizable Color Schemes
The indicator provides four preset color configurations (Classic, Aqua, Cosmic, Custom) optimized for visual clarity across different charting environments. Each scheme maintains consistent color mapping for support and resistance zones across both level lines and volume histogram components. The Custom configuration permits full color specification to accommodate individual charting setups, ensuring optimal visual contrast for extended analysis sessions.
Classic:
Aqua:
Cosmic:
Custom:
🟢 Pro Tips
→ Trade entry optimization: Execute long positions at support levels with high touch counts or upon confirmed resistance breakouts accompanied by above-average volume
→ Risk parameter definition: Position stop-loss orders near identified support/resistance zones with statistical significance to minimize premature exits
→ Breakout validation: Require volume confirmation exceeding historical average when price penetrates resistance to filter false breakouts
→ Level strength assessment: Prioritize levels with higher touch counts and total volume metrics for enhanced probability trade setups
→ Multi-timeframe confluence: Synthesize support/resistance levels across multiple timeframes to identify high-conviction zones where daily support aligns with 4-hour resistance structures
Money Volume • Buyers vs Sellers — @tgambinoxThis indicator estimates the total amount of money traded (Volume × Price)
and splits it between buyers and sellers based on each candle’s behavior.
It displays green bars for buyers and orange bars for sellers, allowing you to see
which side of the market is concentrating the capital.
Useful for detecting flow imbalances, buying/selling pressure,
and confirming price moves alongside total monetary volume (blue line).

This indicator identifies unusual relationships between price strength and trading volume. By analyzing expected intraday volume behavior and comparing it with current activity, it highlights potential exhaustion, absorption, or expansion events that may signal changing market dynamics.
How It Works
The script profiles average volume by time of day and compares current volume against this adaptive baseline. Combined with normalized price movement (ATR-based), it detects conditions where price and volume diverge:
Exhaustion: Strong price move on low volume (potential fade)
Absorption: Weak price move on high volume (potential reversal)
Expansion: Strong price move on high volume (momentum continuation)
Key Features
Adaptive time-based volume normalization
Configurable sensitivity thresholds
Optional visibility for each anomaly type
Adjustable label transparency and offset
Light Mode support: label text automatically adjusts for dark or light chart backgrounds
Lightweight overlay design
Inputs Overview
Volume Profile Resolution: Defines time bucket size for expected volume
[* ]Lookback Days: Controls how quickly the profile adapts
Price / Volume Thresholds: Tune anomaly sensitivity
Show Expansion / Exhaustion / Absorption: Toggle specific labels
Label Transparency & Offset: Adjust chart visibility
How to Use:
Apply the indicator to any chart or timeframe.
Observe where labels appear:
🔴 Exhaustion: strong price, weak volume
🔵 Absorption: weak price, strong volume
🟢 Expansion: strong price, strong volume
Use these as context clues, not trade signals — combine with broader volume or trend analysis.
How It Helps
Reveals hidden price–volume imbalances
Highlights areas where momentum may be fading or strengthening
Enhances understanding of market behavior beyond raw price action

UTS CORE + BOS + CHOCH – RR/TP/SL 📊 Indicator Working Principle
### 🔹 1. BOS (Break of Structure)
* **Definition:** Occurs when the price breaks the previous swing high or swing low level.
* **Interpretation:**
* If the last high is broken upwards → **Bullish BOS** (confirmation of uptrend).
* If the last low is broken downwards → **Bearish BOS** (confirmation of downtrend).
---
### 🔹 2. CHOCH (Change of Character)
* **Definition:** Indicates a trend reversal.
* **Interpretation:**
* In an uptrend, if the last low is broken downwards → **CHOCH↓** (start of downtrend).
* In a downtrend, if the last high is broken upwards → **CHOCH↑** (start of uptrend).
* **Chart:** Blue “CHOCH↑” labels on the chart mark trend reversals.
---
### 🔹 3. FVG (Fair Value Gap)
* **Definition:** A price gap formed between 3 candles.
* **Logic:**
* If the low of one candle stays above the high of the candle two bars back, a gap is created.
* Price tends to return to these gaps to “fill” them.
* **Chart:** The indicator highlights these gaps automatically (green/purple lines).
---
### 🔹 4. Signal Generation (BUY / SELL)
* A valid BOS or CHOCH confirmation + presence of FVG → **signal is triggered.**
* **Rules:**
* Upward break → **BUY signal**
* Downward break → **SELL signal**
* **Chart:** Red “SELL” and green “BUY” labels represent these trade signals.
---
### 🔹 5. RR – TP/SL Management
* When a trade is opened, the indicator automatically calculates **Entry, Stop Loss (SL), and Take Profits (TP1, TP2, TP3).**
* **Risk/Reward ratios:**
* TP1 = 1R
* TP2 = 2R
* TP3 = 3R
* If TP1 is hit and “Breakeven” option is enabled → SL moves to entry (risk-free trade).
---
👉 In short: this indicator tracks **market structure (BOS/CHOCH)**, detects **imbalances (FVG)**, and combines them with **risk/reward management (TP/SL)** to give you a ready-made trade

RSI Breakout Zones█ OVERVIEW
“RSI Breakout Zones” is a technical analysis tool that identifies significant zones on the chart based on the Relative Strength Index (RSI). The indicator maps overbought (OB) and oversold (OS) zones using boxes, then extends them until the next zone of the same type is detected, highlighting breakout points to aid in trade entry decisions. These zones often serve as areas of consolidation, support, or resistance.
█ CONCEPTS
The indicator identifies overbought (above 70) and oversold (below 30) zones, drawing boxes that extend until the next zone of the same type (OB for OB, OS for OS) is detected. Breakout signals are generated when the price crosses the zone boundaries, indicating potential shifts in market momentum.
Why are RSI zones important? These zones represent areas of extreme market sentiment, often leading to corrections or reversals. Overbought zones suggest potential selling pressure, while oversold zones indicate buying opportunities. After a breakout, a zone may switch roles, e.g., from support to resistance or vice versa, making it a key element in price action analysis. Larger zones, formed during high volatility, may attract price for retests due to stronger imbalances in buyer/seller dynamics. Consolidation often occurs within these zones as the market seeks equilibrium before further moves. However, in strong trends, zones may be decisively broken without immediate pullbacks, and their significance depends on their position relative to key support and resistance levels.
█ FEATURES
- RSI Zone Detection: Calculates RSI with a customizable length (default 14) and identifies overbought/oversold zones based on user-defined levels (default 70/30), drawing boxes that dynamically adjust to price action within the zone.
- Customizable Boxes: Zones extend until the next zone of the same type is detected. The indicator draws zones with adjustable colors for overbought (red) and oversold (green) areas, with options for box and zone transparency.
- Breakout Signals: Generates upward (green triangle) and downward (red triangle) breakout signals when the price crosses the top or bottom of a zone. Signals appear below or above the bar, indicating potential trade entry points.
- Midline: Automatically draws a dashed line at the midpoint of each zone, helping traders assess price behavior within the zone and potential halfway retests.
- Box Management: Option to remove outdated boxes.
- Alerts: Built-in support for alerts on breakout signals, enabling traders to receive notifications for key zone crossings.
█ HOW TO USE
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to your TradingView chart via the Pine Editor or Indicators menu.
Configure Settings:
- RSI Settings: Adjust RSI Length (default 14), Overbought Level (default 70), and Oversold Level (default 30) to tailor zone detection sensitivity—higher lengths smooth signals for longer-term analysis.
- Box Settings: Configure colors and transparency for overbought (red) and oversold (green) zones, including box transparency (default 90) and zone transparency (default 90).
- Signal Settings: Customize breakout signal colors (green for upward, red for downward) and enable/disable keeping boxes after RSI normalization.
Interpreting Signals:
- Upward Breakout Signal: A green triangle below the bar indicates a breakout, suggesting potential bullish momentum and trend continuation or reversal.
- Downward Breakout Signal: A red triangle above the bar indicates a breakout, suggesting potential bearish momentum.
- RSI Zones: If the price re-enters a zone after a breakout, it may signal a false breakout or consolidation; persistent zones can act as future support/resistance levels. Consolidation often occurs within these zones as the market seeks equilibrium.
- Use signals alongside other technical analysis tools for confirmation, such as moving averages (to confirm trend direction), Fibonacci levels (to identify key price zones), or volume indicators (to validate breakout strength). Analyze RSI zones on higher timeframes for stronger signals due to broader market context.
█ APPLICATIONS
- Momentum Trading: Use RSI zones as overbought/oversold filters. In an uptrend, look for buying opportunities on upward breakouts, and in a downtrend, on downward breakouts. Combining with MACD crossovers, Fibonacci levels, or pivot points enhances zone significance.
- Inter-Zone Trading: Utilize breakouts from one RSI zone and hold the position until reaching the next zone, which may act as a target level or reversal point.
█ NOTES
- Test the indicator across different timeframes and markets (stocks, forex, crypto) to optimize RSI length and levels for your trading style.
- For best results, use in trending markets where RSI extremes are more predictive; in ranging markets, additional filters are recommended to reduce false signals.
- Always combine with risk management; RSI zones alone do not guarantee reversals, and false breakouts may occur in low-liquidity environments.

Tick-Based Delta Volume BubblesTICK-BASED DELTA VOLUME BUBBLES
OVERVIEW
A real-time order flow indicator that displays volume delta at the tick level, helping traders identify buying and selling pressure as it develops during live market hours. Unlike traditional volume delta indicators that rely on bar close data, this indicator captures actual tick-by-tick volume changes and directional bias, providing granular insight into market dynamics.
HOW IT WORKS
The indicator monitors live tick data during real-time trading by tracking volume increases between consecutive price updates. Each time volume increments, the script calculates the volume delta, determines price direction, assigns directional bias to the volume, and accumulates net delta for each bar.
This methodology is identical to the tick detection mechanism used in professional cumulative volume delta tools, ensuring accuracy and reliability.
FEATURES
Real-Time Tick Detection
- Captures genuine tick-by-tick volume flow using varip persistence
- Not estimated from OHLC data
- Processes actual market ticks as they occur
Adaptive Bubble Sizing
- Bubbles scale based on delta strength relative to a customizable moving average (default 20 bars)
- Highlights significant order flow imbalances
- Five size levels from tiny to huge
Dual Display Modes
- Normal Mode: Sized bubbles with optional volume labels positioned at bar midpoint
- Minimal Mode: Clean dots above/below bars for unobtrusive delta visualization
Flow Classification
- Aggressive Buy (bright green): Strong positive delta with greater than 1.2x strength
- Aggressive Sell (bright red): Strong negative delta with greater than 1.2x strength
- Passive Buy (light green): Moderate positive delta
- Passive Sell (light red): Moderate negative delta
Intensity Mode (Optional)
- Gray: Low intensity (less than 0.5x average)
- Blue: Medium intensity (0.5-1.0x average)
- Orange: High intensity (1.0-2.0x average)
- Red: Extreme intensity (greater than 2.0x average)
Smart Filtering
- Percentile-based filters (customizable) ensure only significant delta events are displayed
- Reduces chart clutter while highlighting important order flow
- Separate thresholds for bubble display and numeric labels
Data Collection Status
- Optional progress box in top-right corner
- Shows real-time bar collection progress
- Displays percentage completion and bars remaining
- Automatically hides when sufficient data is collected
Hide Until Ready Option
- Suppresses bubble display until the averaging period is complete
- Prevents misleading signals from incomplete data
- Default requires 20 bars before displaying bubbles
SETTINGS
Delta Average Length (1-200, default 20)
- Lookback period for calculating delta strength baseline
- Higher values = longer-term delta comparison
- Lower values = more sensitive to recent changes
Hide Bubbles Until Enough Data
- Prevents display until averaging period completes
- Ensures reliable delta strength calculations
Show Data Collection Status Box
- Displays progress indicator during initialization
- Can be disabled if you understand the warmup period
Minimal Mode
- Switches to simple dot display above/below bars
- Green dots above bars = positive delta
- Red dots below bars = negative delta
- Maintains color intensity or flow type classification
Show Bubbles
- Master toggle for bubble display
Bubble Volume Percentile (0-100, default 60)
- Minimum percentile rank required to display bubble
- Higher values = fewer, more significant bubbles
- Lower values = more bubbles displayed
Show Numbers in Bubbles
- Toggle delta value labels
- Only appears in normal mode
- Disabled automatically in minimal mode
Label Volume Percentile (0-100, default 90)
- Higher threshold for displaying numeric labels
- Typically set higher than bubble percentile
- Reduces label clutter on chart
Intensity Mode
- Switch from flow-type coloring to magnitude-based coloring
- Useful for identifying volume spikes regardless of direction
IMPORTANT NOTES
Real-Time Only: This indicator processes live tick data and does not provide historical analysis. It begins collecting data when added to a live chart.
Volume Required: Symbol must have volume data available. Will not function on symbols without volume (most forex pairs from retail brokers).
Initialization Period: Requires the specified number of bars (default 20) to calculate accurate delta strength. Use the "Hide Until Ready" option to prevent premature signals.
Market Hours: Only collects data during live market hours. Does not backfill historical data.
CREDITS
Tick detection methodology inspired by the Kioseff Trading Tick CVD indicator. This implementation adapts the same core tick-level volume delta calculation for bubble-style visualization and per-bar delta analysis.
