Altcoins Exit Executor: 3Commas-Integrated [SwissAlgo]Title: Altcoins Exit Executor: 3Commas-Integrated
Plan and Execute your Altcoins Exits via 3Commas Integration
------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Facing These Struggles?
You're holding a portfolio of altcoins, and the question keeps nagging you: when should you exit? how?
If you're like many crypto traders, you might recognize these familiar struggles:
The Planning Problem : You know you should have an exit strategy, but every time you sit down to plan it, you get overwhelmed. Should you sell at 2x? 5x? What about that resistance level you spotted last month? You end up postponing the decision again and again.
The Execution Headache : You use 3Commas (or an Exchange directly) for your trades, but setting up Smart Trades for multiple coins means endless manual data entry. Price levels, percentages, quantities - by the time you finish entering everything, the market may have already moved.
The Portfolio Scale Problem : Managing 5 altcoins is challenging enough, but what about 15? Or 30? The complexity grows exponentially with each additional position. What started as a manageable analysis for a few coins becomes an overwhelming juggling act that may lead to rushed decisions or complete paralysis.
The Consistency Challenge : You approach each coin differently. Maybe you're conservative with one position and aggressive with another, without any systematic reasoning. Your portfolio becomes a patchwork of random decisions rather than a coherent strategy. With dozens of positions, maintaining any consistent approach becomes nearly impossible.
The "What If" Anxiety : What happens if the market crashes while you're sleeping? You know you should have stop-losses, but setting them up properly across multiple positions feels overwhelming. The more coins you hold, the more potential failure points you need to monitor.
The Information Overload : You collect multiple data points, but how do you synthesize all this information into actionable exit points? Multiply this analysis across 20+ different altcoins, and the task becomes nearly impossible to execute consistently.
This indicator may help address these challenges by providing you with:
A systematic approach to analyzing potential resistance levels across multiple technical frameworks. All potential resistances (including Fibonacci levels) are calculated automatically
Tools to structure your exit plan with clear take-profit levels and position sizing
Automated generation of 3Commas 'Smart Trades' that match your exit strategy exactly, without manual entry
Optional emergency exit protection that could potentially guard against sudden market reversals (exit managed within the 3Commas 'Smart Trade' itself)
A consistent methodology you can apply across your entire altcoin portfolio, regardless of size
The goal is to transform exit planning from a source of stress and procrastination into a structured, repeatable process that may help you execute your trading plan in a consistent fashion, whether you're managing 3 coins or 30.
------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Is this for You?
This indicator is designed for cryptocurrency traders who:
Hold a portfolio of multiple altcoins (typically 5+ positions)
Are actively seeking a systematic solution to plan and execute exit strategies
Have an active 3Commas account connected to their exchange
Understand 3Commas basics: Smart Trades, API connections, and account management
Have an account tier that supports their portfolio size (3Commas Free Plan: up to 3 trades/alts, Pro Plan: up to 50+ trades/alts)
Important: This tool provides analysis and automation assistance, not trading advice. All exit decisions require your individual judgment and proper risk management.
If you don't use 3Commas, you may still find value in the resistance analysis components, though the automated execution features require a 3Commas account and basic platform knowledge.
------------------------------------------------------------------
3. How does it work?
This indicator streamlines your exit planning process into four steps:
Step 1: Analyze Your Coin & Define Exit Plan
The indicator automatically calculates multiple types of resistance levels that may act as potential exit points:
Fibonacci Extensions (projected resistance from recent price swings)
Fibonacci Retracements (resistance from previous cycle highs)
Major Pivot Highs (historical price rejection points)
Volume Imbalances (PVSRA analysis showing institutional activity zones)
Price Multipliers (2x, 3x, 4x, 5x psychological levels)
Market Trend Analysis (bull/bear market strength assessment)
You can view all resistance types together or focus on specific categories to identify potential exit zones.
Step 2: Enter Your Exit Plan.
Define your sequential take-profit strategy:
Set up to 5 take-profit levels with specific prices
Assign percentage of coins to sell at each level
Add your total coin quantity and average entry price
Optionally enable emergency exit (stop-loss) protection. The indicator validates your plan in real-time, ensuring percentages sum to 100% and prices follow logical sequences.
Step 3: Connect with 3Commas
Relay Secret
3Commas API keys (Public and Private)
Account ID (your exchange account on 3Commas)
Step 4: Generate Smart Trade on 3Commas
Create a TradingView alert that automatically:
Sends your complete exit plan to 3Commas
Creates a Smart Trade with all your take-profit levels
Includes stop-loss protection if enabled
Requires no manual data entry on the 3Commas platform
The entire process is designed to streamline the time required to move from analysis to execution, providing a standardized methodology across your altcoin positions.
User Experience Features:
Step-by-step guided workflow
Interactive submission helper with status tracking
Exit plan table with detailed projections
Comprehensive legend and educational tooltips
Dark/light theme compatibility
Organized visual presentation of all resistance levels
------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Using the Indicator
Complete the 4-step guided workflow within the indicator to set up an Exit Plan and submit it to 3Commas.
At the end of the process, you will see a Smart Trade created on 3Commas reflecting your custom Exit Plan (inclusive of Stop Loss, if enabled).
Recommended Settings
Analyze your Exit Plan on the 1-Day timeframe
Use the Tradingview's Dark-Theme for high visual contrast
Set candles to 'Bar-Type' to view volumr-based candle colors (PVSRA analysis)
Use desktop for full content visibility
Analyzing Resistance Levels
Enable "Show all Resistance Levels" to view comprehensive analysis across your chart
Focus on resistance clusters where multiple resistance seem to converge - these may indicate stronger potential exit zones
Note the color-coded system: gray lines indicate closer levels, red lines suggest stronger resistance or potentially "out-of-reach" targets
Pay attention to the Golden Zone (Fibonacci 0.618-0.786 area) highlighted in green, it might act as a significant price magnet for average altcoins
Decide how many Take Profit Steps to use (min. 1 - max- 5)
Setting up your Plan
Enter the total number of coins you want to sell with the script
Enter your average entry price, if known (otherwise the script will use the current price as backup)
Enter the TP levels you decided to activate (price, qty to sell at each TP level)
Decide about the Emergency Exit (the price that, when broken, will trigger the sale of 100% of your coins with a close limit order)
Setting Up Your 3Commas Connection
Generate API keys in your 3Commas account with (User Profile→3Commas API→New API Access Token→System Generated→Permission: "Smart Trades Only" (leave all other permissions unchecked) + Whitelisted IP→Create→Save API public/private key securely)
Find your Account ID in the 3Commas exchange URL (My Portfolio→View Exchange→Look at the last number in the url of the webpage - should be a 8-digit number)
Enter all credentials in the indicator's connection section
Verify the green checkmarks appear on the Exit Table, confirming that plan and connection are validated
Deploying Your Plan
Check box "Step 1: Check and confirm Exit Plan" in section 4 of User Settings
Create a TradingView alert (Alert→Select Altcoins Exit Planner PRO→Any alert() function call→Interval Same as Chart→Open Ended→Message: coin name→Notifications: enable Webhook→save and exit
Your Smart Trade appears automatically in 3Commas within minutes
IMPORTANT: Delete the alert after successful deployment to prevent duplicated Smart Trades
To modify the Exit Plan: Delete the Smart Trade on 3Commas and repeat the process above
Monitor your Smart Trade execution through your 3Commas dashboard
Important Notes
Always verify your plan in the Exit Table before deployment
Test with smaller positions initially to familiarize yourself with the process
The indicator provides analysis - final trading decisions remain yours
Manage your API keys and Relay secret with caution: do not share with third parties, store them securely, use malware protection on your PC
Your API keys, trading data, and credentials are transmitted securely through direct API connections and are never stored, logged, or accessible to the indicator author - all communication occurs directly between your browser and the target platforms that support the service.
------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Understanding the Resistance Analysis
Fibonacci Extensions: Calculated from three key points: 2022 bear market bottom → early 2024 bull market high → 2025 retracement low. These project where price might encounter resistance during future rallies based on mathematical ratios (0.618, 1.0, 1.618, 2.0, etc.).
Fibonacci Retracements: For established altcoins: calculated from 2021 cycle peak to 2022 bottom. For newer altcoins: from all-time high to subsequent major low. These show potential resistance zones where price may struggle to reclaim previous highs.
Major Pivot Highs: Historical price levels where significant reversals occurred. These act as potential resistance because traders may remember these levels and place sell orders near them.
Volume Imbalances (PVSRA) : Areas where price moved rapidly on abnormal volume, creating gaps that may attract future price action or orders. The indicator uses volume-to-price-range analysis (PVSRA candles or "Vector Candles") to identify these zones.
Price Multipliers: Reference lines showing 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x current price to help you assess the feasibility of your exit targets. These serve as a "reality check" - if you're setting a take-profit at 4x current price, you can quickly evaluate whether that level seems reasonable given current market conditions and your risk tolerance.
Market Trend Analysis: Uses EMA combined with ADX/DMI indicators to assess current market phase (bull/strong bull, bear/strong/bear, weakening trend)
This technical foundation helps explain why certain price levels appear as potential exit zones, though market conditions ultimately determine actual price behavior.
------------------------------------------------------------------
6. FAQs
GENERAL FAQS
Can I use one indicator for multiple altcoins?
Answer: No, each altcoin needs its own chart layout with a separate indicator installation. Resistance levels are calculated from each coin's unique price history, and your exit plan will be different for each position. When you deploy an alert, it creates one Smart Trade on 3Commas for that specific coin only.
To manage multiple coins, create separate TradingView layouts for each altcoin, configure the indicator individually on each chart, then deploy one alert per coin when ready to execute. This ensures each position gets personalized analysis and allows different exit strategies across your portfolio.
EXIT PLAN ANALYSIS/RESISTANCE LEVELS
Are resistance lines calculated automatically by the script?
Answer: Yes, all resistance lines are calculated automatically based on your coin's price history and market data. You don't need to manually identify or draw any levels. The script analyzes historical pivots, calculates Fibonacci ratios from key price swings, identifies volume imbalance zones, and plots everything on your chart.
Simply enable "Show all Resistance Levels" in the settings and the indicator will display all potential resistance zones with color-coded lines and labels showing the exact price levels and their significance.
What's the difference between Fibonacci Extensions and Fibonacci Retracements?
Answer: Fibonacci Retracements look at completed moves from the past and show where price might struggle to reclaim previous highs. For established coins, they're calculated from 2021 peaks down to 2022 bottoms.
Fibonacci Extensions project forward from recent price swings to estimate where ongoing rallies might encounter resistance. They use three points: 2022 bottom, 2024 high, and 2025 retracement low.
Retracements ask "where might recovery stall based on old highs" while Extensions ask "where might this current rally run into trouble." Both use the same mathematical ratios but different reference points to give you complementary resistance perspectives.
Why are some resistance lines gray and others red?
Answer: The color coding helps you assess the potential difficulty of reaching different resistance levels. Gray lines represent closer resistance levels, while red lines indicate stronger resistance or potentially "out-of-reach" targets that may require exceptional market conditions to break through.
This visual system helps you prioritize your exit planning by distinguishing between near-term targets and more ambitious longer-term objectives when setting your take-profit levels.
What is the resistance from major pivot highs?
Answer: Major pivot highs are historical price levels where significant reversals occurred in the past. These levels often act as resistance because traders remember these previous "ceiling" points where price failed to break higher and may place sell orders near them again.
The indicator automatically identifies these pivot points from your coin's price history and draws horizontal lines at those levels. When price approaches these areas again, it may struggle to break through due to psychological resistance and clustered sell orders from traders who expect similar rejection patterns.
What is the resistance from abnormal volumes?
Answer: Volume imbalances occur when price moves rapidly on abnormally high volume, creating gaps or zones where institutions moved large amounts quickly. These areas often act as resistance when price returns to them because institutional traders may want to "fill" these gaps or add to their positions at those levels.
The indicator uses PVSRA analysis to identify candles with abnormal volume-to-price ratios and marks these zones on your chart. When price approaches these imbalance areas again, it may encounter resistance from institutional activity or algorithmic trading systems programmed to react at these levels.
What are price multipliers?
Answer: Price multipliers are reference lines showing 2x, 3x, 4x, and 5x the current price. They serve as a reality check when setting your take-profit targets. If you're considering a take-profit at $10 and current price is $2, you can quickly see that's a 5x target and evaluate whether that seems realistic given current market conditions.
These lines help you assess the feasibility of your exit goals and avoid setting unrealistic expectations. They're not resistance levels themselves, but visual aids to help you gauge whether your planned targets are conservative, aggressive, or somewhere in between
How is the EMA calculated and why does it represent bull/bear market intensity?
Answer: The indicator uses a 147-period EMA (1D tf) combined with ADX and DMI indicators to assess market phases. The EMA provides the basic trend direction - when price is above the EMA, it suggests bullish conditions, and when below, bearish conditions.
The intensity comes from the ADX/DMI analysis. Strong bull markets occur when price is above the EMA, ADX is above 25 (indicating strong trend), and the positive directional indicator dominates. Strong bear markets show the opposite pattern with negative directional movement dominating.
The system also uses weekly ADX slope to confirm trend strength is increasing rather than fading. This combination helps distinguish between weak sideways markets and genuine strong trending phases, giving you context at the time of exit planning.
EXIT PLAN
Why does my exit plan show errors?
Answer: The indicator validates your plan in real-time and shows specific error messages to help you fix issues. Common problems include take-profit percentages that don't sum to exactly 100%, price levels set in wrong order (TP2 must be higher than TP1), or gaps in your sequence (you can't use TP3 without filling TP1 and TP2 first).
Check the Exit Plan Validation section in the table - it will show exactly what needs fixing with messages like "TP percentages must sum to exactly 100%" or "Fill TPs consecutively starting from TP1." Fix the highlighted issue and the error will clear automatically, turning your validation checkmark green when everything is correct.
Why do I need to provide my coin quantity and average entry price?
Answer: The coin quantity is essential because the indicator calculates exact amounts to sell at each take-profit level based on your percentages. If you set TP1 to sell 25% of your position, the script needs to know your total quantity to calculate that 25% means exactly X coins in your 3Commas Smart Trade.
The average entry price helps calculate your projected gains and portfolio performance in the Exit Table. If you don't know your exact entry price, leave it at zero and the indicator will use current price as a fallback for calculations. Both pieces of information ensure your Smart Trade matches your actual position size and gives you accurate profit projections.
What is the emergency exit price?
Answer: The emergency exit price is an optional stop-loss feature that automatically sells 100% of your coin position if price falls to your specified level. This is critical to understand because once triggered, 3Commas will execute the sale immediately without further confirmation.
When price hits your emergency exit level, 3Commas places a limit sell order at 3% below that price to avoid poor market execution. However, execution is not guaranteed because limit orders may not fill during extreme volatility or if price gaps below your limit level. Use this feature cautiously and set the emergency price well below normal support levels to account for typical market fluctuations.
This sells your entire position regardless of your take-profit plan, so only enable it if you want automated crash protection and understand the risks of potential false breakdowns triggering unnecessary exits.
3COMMAS CONNECTION
How do I get my 3Commas API keys and Account ID?
Answer:
For API Keys: Log into 3Commas, go to User Profile → 3Commas API → New API Access Token → System Generated. Set permissions to "Smart Trades Only" (leave all other permissions unchecked) and add your IP to the whitelist for security. Save both the public and private keys securely after creation.
For Account ID: Go to My Portfolio → View Exchange in 3Commas. Look at the URL in your browser - the Account ID is the 8-digit number at the end of the webpage address (example: if the URL shows "/accounts/12345678" then your Account ID is 12345678).
Important: Never share these credentials with anyone. The indicator transmits them directly to 3Commas through secure API connections without storing or logging them. If you suspect your keys are compromised, revoke them immediately in your 3Commas account and generate new ones.
ALERTS
I have set up my exit plan, what's next?
Answer: Once your exit plan is configured and shows green checkmarks in the validation section, follow the 4-step workflow in the indicator. Check "Step 1: Check and confirm Exit Plan" to enable alert firing, then create a TradingView alert using the Altcoins Exit Planner PRO condition with "Any alert() function call" trigger.
The alert fires immediately and sends your plan to 3Commas. Within minutes, you should see a new Smart Trade appear in your 3Commas dashboard matching your exact exit strategy. After confirming the Smart Trade was created successfully, delete the TradingView alert to prevent duplicate submissions.
From that point, 3Commas manages your exit automatically according to your plan. Monitor execution through your 3Commas dashboard and let the platform handle the sequential take-profit levels as price moves.
How do I create the TradingView alert?
Answer: Click the "Alert" button in TradingView (bell icon in the top toolbar). In the alert setup window, set Condition to "Altcoins Exit Planner PRO" and Trigger to "Any alert() function call." Keep Interval as "Same as Chart" and Expiration as "Open Ended."
In the Message section, you can name your alert anything you want. In the Notifications section, enable the webhook option (leave the URL field as you'll handle that separately). You can also enable email or sound notifications if desired.
Click "Create" to activate the alert. If Step 1 is already checked in your indicator, the alert will fire immediately and send your exit plan to 3Commas. Remember to delete this alert after your Smart Trade appears to prevent duplicates.
I got the Smart Trade on 3Commas, what's next?
Answer: Congratulations! Your exit plan is now active and automated. Delete the TradingView alert immediately to prevent duplicate Smart Trades from being created. You can now monitor your Smart Trade's progress through your 3Commas dashboard.
3Commas will automatically execute your take-profit levels as price reaches each target, selling the specified percentages of your position according to your plan. If you enabled emergency exit protection, that stop-loss is also active and monitoring for downside protection.
Your job is essentially done - let 3Commas handle the execution while you monitor overall market conditions. You can view trade progress, modify the Smart Trade if needed, or manually close it early through your 3Commas interface. The platform will manage all the sequential selling according to your original exit strategy.
Can I cancel my exit plan and resubmit to 3Commas?
Answer: Yes, you can modify your exit strategy by first deleting the existing Smart Trade in your 3Commas dashboard, then resubmitting a new plan through the indicator.
To cancel and resubmit: Go to your 3Commas Smart Trades section and delete the current trade. Return to the TradingView indicator, modify your exit plan settings (prices, percentages, emergency exit, etc.), then repeat the deployment process by checking Step 1 and creating a new alert.
This creates a fresh Smart Trade with your updated parameters. Always ensure you delete the old Smart Trade first to avoid having multiple conflicting exit plans running simultaneously. The new deployment will overwrite nothing automatically - you must manually clean up the old trade before submitting the revised plan.
Why did I get a second Smart Trade after the first one?
Answer: This happens when you forget to delete the TradingView alert after your first Smart Trade was created successfully. The alert remains active and continues firing, creating duplicate Smart Trades each time it triggers.
Always delete your TradingView alert immediately after confirming your Smart Trade appears in 3Commas. Go to your TradingView alerts list, find the alert you created for this exit plan, and delete it completely. Also delete any duplicate Smart Trades in your 3Commas dashboard to avoid confusion.
To prevent this in future deployments, remember the workflow: create alert → Smart Trade appears → delete alert immediately. Each exit plan should only generate one Smart Trade, and keeping alerts active will cause unwanted duplicates.

Day + HTF Separators + Midnight OpenOverview
The Day + HTF Separators + Midnight Open indicator is a versatile and easy-to-use tool for traders who want to track key price levels and time-based market events. It draws vertical lines to mark the start of each day, 4-hour period, and 1-hour period, adds labels to show the day of the week, and plots a horizontal line at a customizable hourly open price (defaulting to midnight, referred to as the "Time-Designated Open" or TDO). This indicator is perfect for day traders, swing traders, and anyone analyzing price action in Futures, forex, cryptocurrencies, or other markets on TradingView.
Designed for intraday charts (e.g., 1-minute, 5-minute, or 1-hour), this indicator offers extensive customization options, letting you toggle features, change colors, adjust line styles, and position labels. It’s built to be lightweight, ensuring smooth performance even on charts with lots of historical data.

Composite Time ProfileComposite Time Profile Overlay (CTPO) - Market Profile Compositing Tool
Automatically composite multiple time periods to identify key areas of balance and market structure
What is the Composite Time Profile Overlay?
The Composite Time Profile Overlay (CTPO) is a Pine Script indicator that automatically composites multiple time periods to identify key areas of balance and market structure. It's designed for traders who use market profile concepts and need to quickly identify where price is likely to find support or resistance.
The indicator analyzes TPO (Time Price Opportunity) data across different timeframes and merges overlapping profiles to create composite levels that represent the most significant areas of balance. This helps you spot where institutional traders are likely to make decisions based on accumulated price action.
Why Use CTPO for Market Profile Trading?
Eliminate Manual Compositing Work
Instead of manually drawing and compositing profiles across different timeframes, CTPO does this automatically. You get instant access to composite levels without spending time analyzing each individual period.
Spot Areas of Balance Quickly
The indicator highlights the most significant areas of balance by compositing overlapping profiles. These areas often act as support and resistance levels because they represent where the most trading activity occurred across multiple time periods.
Focus on What Matters
Rather than getting lost in individual session profiles, CTPO shows you the composite levels that have been validated across multiple timeframes. This helps you focus on the levels that are most likely to hold.
How CTPO Works for Market Profile Traders
Automatic Profile Compositing
CTPO uses a proprietary algorithm that:
- Identifies period boundaries based on your selected timeframe (sessions, daily, weekly, monthly, or auto-detection)
- Calculates TPO profiles for each period using the C2M (Composite 2 Method) row sizing calculation
- Merges overlapping profiles using configurable overlap thresholds (default 50% overlap required)
- Updates composite levels as new price action develops in real-time
Key Levels for Market Profile Analysis
The indicator displays:
- Value Area High (VAH) and Value Area Low (VAL) levels calculated from composite TPO data
- Point of Control (POC) levels where most trading occurred across all composited periods
- Composite zones representing areas of balance with configurable transparency
- 1.618 Fibonacci extensions for breakout targets based on composite range
Multiple Timeframe Support
- Sessions: For intraday market profile analysis
- Daily: For swing trading with daily profiles
- Weekly: For position trading with weekly structure
- Monthly: For long-term market profile analysis
- Auto: Automatically selects timeframe based on your chart
Trading Applications for Market Profile Users
Support and Resistance Trading
Use composite levels as dynamic support and resistance zones. These levels often hold because they represent areas where significant trading decisions were made across multiple timeframes.
Breakout Trading
When composite levels break, they often lead to significant moves. The indicator calculates 1.618 Fibonacci extensions to give you clear targets for breakout trades.
Mean Reversion Strategies
Value Area levels represent the price range where most trading activity occurred. These levels often act as magnets, drawing price back when it moves too far from the mean.
Institutional Level Analysis
Composite levels represent areas where institutional traders have made significant decisions. These levels often hold more weight than traditional technical analysis levels because they're based on actual trading activity.
Key Features for Market Profile Traders
Smart Compositing Logic
- Automatic overlap detection using price range intersection algorithms
- Configurable overlap thresholds (minimum 50% overlap required for merging)
- Dead composite identification (profiles that become engulfed by newer composites)
- Real-time updates as new price action develops using barstate.islast optimization
Visual Customization
- Customizable colors for active, broken, and dead composites
- Adjustable transparency levels for each composite state
- Premium/Discount zone highlighting based on current price vs composite range
- TPO aggression coloring using TPO distribution analysis to identify buying/selling pressure
- Fibonacci level extensions with 1.618 target calculations based on composite range
Clean Chart Presentation
- Only shows the most relevant composite levels (maximum 10 active composites)
- Eliminates clutter from individual session profiles
- Focuses on areas of balance that matter most to current price action
Real-World Trading Examples
Day Trading with Session Composites
Use session-based composites to identify intraday areas of balance. The VAH and VAL levels often act as natural profit targets and stop-loss levels for scalping strategies.
Swing Trading with Daily Composites
Daily composites provide excellent swing trading levels. Look for price reactions at composite zones and use the 1.618 extensions for profit targets.
Position Trading with Weekly Composites
Weekly composites help identify major trend changes and long-term areas of balance. These levels often hold for months or even years.
Risk Management
Composite levels provide natural stop-loss levels. If a composite level breaks, it often signals a significant shift in market sentiment, making it an ideal place to exit losing positions.
Why Composite Levels Work
Composite levels work because they represent areas where significant trading decisions were made across multiple timeframes. When price returns to these levels, traders often remember the previous price action and make similar decisions, creating self-fulfilling prophecies.
The compositing process uses a proprietary algorithm that ensures only levels validated across multiple time periods are displayed. This means you're looking at levels that have proven their significance through actual market behavior, not just random technical levels.
Technical Foundation
The indicator uses TPO (Time Price Opportunity) data combined with price action analysis to identify areas of balance. The C2M row sizing method ensures accurate profile calculations, while the overlap detection algorithm (minimum 50% price range intersection) ensures only truly significant composites are displayed. The algorithm calculates row size based on ATR (Average True Range) divided by 10, then converts to tick size for precise level calculations.
How the Code Actually Works
1. Period Detection and ATR Calculation
The code first determines the appropriate timeframe based on your chart:
- 1m-5m charts: Session-based profiles
- 15m-2h charts: Daily profiles
- 4h charts: Weekly profiles
- 1D charts: Monthly profiles
For each period type, it calculates the number of bars needed for ATR calculation:
- Sessions: 540 minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Daily: 1440 minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Weekly: 7 days worth of minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Monthly: 30 days worth of minutes divided by chart timeframe
2. C2M Row Size Calculation
The code calculates True Range for each bar in the determined period:
- True Range = max(high-low, |high-prevClose|, |low-prevClose|)
- Averages all True Range values to get ATR
- Row Size = (ATR / 10) converted to tick size
- This ensures each TPO row represents a meaningful price movement
3. TPO Profile Generation
For each period, the code:
- Creates price levels from lowest to highest price in the range
- Each level is separated by the calculated row size
- Counts how many bars touch each price level (TPO count)
- Finds the level with highest count = Point of Control (POC)
- Calculates Value Area by expanding from POC until 68.27% of total TPO blocks are included
4. Overlap Detection Algorithm
When a new profile is created, the code checks if it overlaps with existing composites:
- Calculates overlap range = min(currentVAH, prevVAH) - max(currentVAL, prevVAL)
- Calculates current profile range = currentVAH - currentVAL
- Overlap percentage = (overlap range / current profile range) * 100
- If overlap >= 50%, profiles are merged into a composite
5. Composite Merging Logic
When profiles overlap, the code creates a new composite by:
- Taking the earliest start bar and latest end bar
- Using the wider VAH/VAL range (max of both profiles)
- Keeping the POC from the profile with more TPO blocks
- Marking the composite as "active" until price breaks through
6. Real-Time Updates
The code uses barstate.islast to optimize performance:
- Only recalculates on the last bar of each period
- Updates active composite with live price action if enabled
- Cleans up old composites to prevent memory issues
- Redraws all visual elements from scratch each bar
7. Visual Rendering System
The code uses arrays to manage drawing objects:
- Clears all lines/boxes arrays on every bar
- Iterates through composites array to redraw everything
- Uses different colors for active, broken, and dead composites
- Calculates 1.618 Fibonacci extensions for broken composites
Getting Started with CTPO
Step 1: Choose Your Timeframe
Select the period type that matches your trading style:
- Use "Sessions" for day trading
- Use "Daily" for swing trading
- Use "Weekly" for position trading
- Use "Auto" to let the indicator choose based on your chart timeframe
Step 2: Customize the Display
Adjust colors, transparency, and display options to match your charting preferences. The indicator offers extensive customization options to ensure it fits seamlessly into your existing analysis.
Step 3: Identify Key Levels
Look for:
- Composite zones (blue boxes) - major areas of balance
- VAH/VAL lines - value area boundaries
- POC lines - areas of highest trading activity
- 1.618 extension lines - breakout targets
Step 4: Develop Your Strategy
Use these levels to:
- Set entry points near composite zones
- Place stop losses beyond composite levels
- Take profits at 1.618 extension levels
- Identify trend changes when major composites break
Perfect for Market Profile Traders

FlowScope [Hapharmonic]FlowScope: Uncover the Market's True Intent 🔬
Ever wished you could look inside the candles and see where the real action is happening? FlowScope is your microscope for the market's flow, designed to give you a powerful edge by revealing the volume distribution that price action alone can't show you.
Instead of just looking at the open, high, low, and close, FlowScope lets you dive deeper into the market's auction process. It groups candles together and builds a detailed Volume Profile for that period, showing you exactly where the trading happened and revealing the story behind the price action.
Let's explore how you can use it to gain a powerful new edge.
🧐 Core Concept: How It Works
At its heart, FlowScope does three key things:
It Groups Candles: You decide how many candles to group together. For example, setting " Group Candles " to 4 on a 5-minute chart effectively gives you a detailed 20-minute candle and profile. This helps you see the bigger picture and filter out market noise.
It Builds a Volume Profile: For each group, FlowScope analyzes the volume at every single price level. It then displays this as a horizontal histogram (we call this a "footprint" or profile). Longer bars mean more volume was traded at that price, indicating a "fair" price or an area of acceptance. Shorter bars mean price moved through quickly, indicating rejection.
It Creates a Custom "Grouped Candle": To summarize the group's overall price action, FlowScope draws a single, custom candle representing the entire group's:
Open: The open of the first candle in the group.
High: The absolute highest price reached within the group.
Low: The absolute lowest price reached within the group.
Close: The close of the last candle in the group.
This gives you a crystal-clear view of the group's net result, free from the back-and-forth noise of the individual candles inside it.
Below are some of the stunning preset color palettes you can choose from to customize your view:
🚀 How to Use: Practical Applications
FlowScope isn't just for looking pretty; it's a powerful analysis tool. Here are a few ways to integrate it into your trading:
Identify High-Volume Nodes (HVNs): Look for the longest bars in the profile. These are price levels where the market spent the most time and traded the most volume. HVNs often act as powerful "magnets" for price, becoming key areas of support and resistance.
Spot Low-Volume Nodes (LVNs): These are areas with very short bars or gaps in the profile. They represent price levels that the market moved through quickly and inefficiently. If price returns to an LVN, it's likely to move through it quickly again.
Analyze the Summary Box: This is where the real magic happens! ✨
Total Volume (Σ): The total volume for the entire group.
Buy (B) vs. Sell (S) Volume: FlowScope analyzes the lower timeframe action to estimate the buying and selling pressure that made up the total volume. Is a big red candle mostly aggressive selling, or was it just a lack of buyers? The B/S data gives you clues. A high-volume candle with nearly 50/50 buy/sell pressure might indicate absorption or a potential reversal.
Use the Grouped Candle for Clarity: Is the market in a clear uptrend, or is it just choppy? The grouped candle can give you a much clearer signal. A series of strong, green grouped candles shows much more conviction than a mix of small green and red candles.
⚙️ Settings & Customization
This is where you can truly make FlowScope your own. Let's walk through each setting.
Profile Settings
Group Candles: The number of standard chart candles you want to combine into a single FlowScope profile. A setting of 1 will analyze every single bar. A higher number gives you a broader market view. When Group Candles is set to 5, the data from the 5 individual candles are combined, and the volume is calculated accordingly.
Max Profile Boxes: This setting is more than just a number; it's a smart limit that ensures your profiles are always readable and relevant to the current market conditions.
Adaptive Sizing (The Ideal Goal): FlowScope first tries to create the perfect profile by making each volume box's height proportional to the current market volatility. It calculates an "ideal" box height based on the Average True Range ( ATR / 10 ). This is powerful because it automatically adapts: you get smaller, more detailed boxes in quiet, low-volatility markets, and larger, clearer boxes in volatile, fast-moving markets.
The Safety Cap (Your Setting): However, what if you group several candles during a massive price move? The price range could be huge! If we only used the small, ATR-based box height, you might end up with hundreds of tiny, unreadable boxes. This is where your Max Profile Boxes setting (defaulting to 50) comes in. It acts as a maximum detail cap . If the adaptive, volatility-based calculation determines that it would need more boxes than your setting (e.g., more than 50), the indicator will override it. It will then simply divide the entire price range of the group into exactly the number of boxes you specified (e.g., 50).
In short: You are setting the maximum allowable detail. FlowScope intelligently adapts the profile's granularity below that limit based on market volatility, ensuring you always get a clear and meaningful picture.
Style
Show Profile BG: A simple toggle to show or hide the faint background color behind the volume bars. Turning it off can create a cleaner look.
Color Mode: This dropdown controls how the volume profile text is colored.
Custom Gradient: This mode uses the three custom colors you select in the "Profile Colors" section to create a beautiful gradient across the profile.
Candle Color: This mode colors the profile based on whether the grouped candle was bullish (green) or bearish (red). The color will be a gradient, with the most intense color applied to the box with the highest volume; the colors of the other boxes will fade out from that point. It's a great way to see the profile's "mood" at a glance.
Profile Colors 🎨
Use Preset Palette: This is the master switch!
If checked: You can choose from 10 stunning, pre-designed color palettes from the Palette dropdown. The custom color pickers below will be disabled.
If unchecked (Default): The Palette dropdown will be disabled, and you can now choose your own three colors for the gradient.
Palette: (Only active when "Use Preset Palette" is checked) . Choose from 10 luxurious, eye-catching color schemes like "Solar Flare" or "Deep Space" to instantly change the look and feel of your chart.
Low Price / Mid Price / High Price: (Only active when "Use Preset Palette" is unchecked) . These three color pickers allow you to design your own unique gradient for the Custom Gradient color mode.
Candle Display
These settings control the custom "Grouped Candle" that summarizes the profile. When using the "Show Custom Candle" feature, you should change the chart's candlestick display to Bars for a cleaner view.
Show Custom Candle: This is the main toggle. When you check this box, the original chart candles will be hidden, and your custom FlowScope candle will be displayed instead. This custom candle is intentionally small to ensure it does not visually overlap with the volume profile boxes.
Show Body: (Only active when "Show Custom Candle" is checked) . Toggles the visibility of the candle's body.
Wick Width & Body Width: (Only active when "Show Custom Candle" is checked) . These sliders let you control the thickness of the wick and body lines to match your personal style.
Up Color / Down Color: (Only active when "Show Custom Candle" is checked) . Choose the colors for your bullish and bearish custom candles.
Experiment with the settings, find a style that works for you, and start seeing the market in a whole new light.
Happy trading! 📈😊

PumpC PAC & MAsPumpC – PAC & MAs (Open Source)
A complete Price Action Candles (PAC) toolkit combining classical price action patterns (Fair Value Gaps, Inside Bars, Hammers, Inverted Hammers, and Volume Imbalances) with a flexible Moving Averages (MAs) module and an advanced bar-coloring system.
This script highlights supply/demand inefficiencies and micro-patterns with forward-extending boxes, recolors zones when mitigated, qualifies patterns with a global High-Volume filter, and ships with ready-to-use alerts. It works across intraday through swing trading on any market (e.g., NASDAQ:QQQ , $CME:ES1!, FX:EURUSD , BITSTAMP:BTCUSD ).
This is an open-source script. The description is detailed so users understand what the script does, how it works, and how to use it. It makes no performance claims and does not provide trade advice.
Acknowledgment & Credits
This script originates from the structural and box-handling logic found in the Super OrderBlock / FVG / BoS Tools by makuchaku & eFe. Their pioneering framework provided the base methods for managing arrays of boxes, extending zones forward, and recoloring once mitigated.
Building on that foundation, I have substantially expanded and adapted the code to create a unified Price Action Candles toolkit . This includes Al Brooks–inspired PAC logic, additional patterns like Inside Bars, Hammers, Inverted Hammers, and the new Volume Imbalance module, along with strong-bar coloring, close-threshold detection, a flexible global High-Volume filter, and a multi-timeframe Moving Averages system.
What it does
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) : Detects 3-bar displacement gaps, plots forward-extending boxes, and optionally recolors them once mitigated.
Inside Bars (IB) : Highlights bars fully contained within the prior candle’s range, with optional high-volume filter.
Hammers (H) & Inverted Hammers (IH) : Identifies rejection candles using configurable body/upper/lower wick thresholds. High-volume qualification optional.
Volume Imbalances (VI) : Detects inter-body gaps where one candle’s body does not overlap the prior candle’s body. Boxes extend forward until wick-based mitigation occurs (only after the two-bar formation completes). Alerts available for creation and mitigation.
Mitigation Recolor : Each pattern can flip to a mitigated color once price trades back through its vertical zone.
Moving Averages (MAs) : Four configurable EMAs/SMAs, with per-MA timeframe, length, color, and clutter-free plotting rules.
Strong Bar Coloring : Highlights bullish/bearish engulfing reversals with different colors for high-volume vs low-volume cases.
Close Threshold Bars : Marks candles that close in the top or bottom portion of their range, even if the body is small. Helps spot continuation pressure before a full trend bar forms.
Alerts : Notifications available for FVG+, FVG−, IB, H, IH, VI creation, and VI mitigation.
Connection to Al Brooks’ PAC teachings
This script reflects Al Brooks’ Price Action Candle methodology. PAC patterns like Inside Bars, Hammers, and Inverted Hammers are not trade signals on their own—they gain meaning in context of trend, failed breakouts, and effort vs. result.
By layering in volume imbalances, strong-bar reversals, and volume filters, this script focuses attention on the PACs that show true participation and conviction, aligning with Brooks’ emphasis on reading crowd psychology through price action.
Why the High-Volume filter matters
Volume is a key proxy for conviction. A PAC or VI formed on light volume can be misleading noise; one formed on above-average volume carries more weight.
Elevates Inside Bars that show absorption/compression with heavy activity.
Distinguishes Hammers that reject price aggressively vs. weak drifts.
Filters Inverted Hammers to emphasize true supply pressure.
Highlights VI zones where institutional order flow left inefficiencies.
Differentiates strong engulfing reversals from weaker, low-participation moves.
Inputs & Customization
Inputs are grouped logically for fast configuration:
High-Volume Filter : Global lookback & multiple, per-pattern toggles.
FVG : Visibility, mitigated recolor, box style/transparency, label controls.
IB : Visibility, require high volume, mitigated recolor, colors, label settings.
Hammer / IH : Visibility, require high volume, mitigated recolor, wick/body thresholds.
VI : Visibility, require high volume, mitigated recolor, box style, labels, mitigation alerts.
Strong Bars : Enable/disable, separate colors for high-volume and low-volume outcomes.
Close Threshold Bars : Customizable close thresholds, labels, optional count markers.
MAs : EMA/SMA type, per-MA toggle, length, timeframe, color.
Alerts
New Bullish FVG (+)
New Bearish FVG (−)
New Inside Bar (IB)
New Hammer (H)
New Inverted Hammer (IH)
New Volume Imbalance (VI)
VI Mitigated
Strong Bullish Engulfing / Bearish Engulfing (high- and low-volume variants)
Suggested workflow
Choose your market & timeframe (script works across equities, futures, FX, crypto).
Toggle only the PACs you actually trade. Assign distinct colors for clarity.
Use MAs for directional bias and higher timeframe structure.
Enable High-Volume filters when you want to emphasize conviction.
Watch mitigation recolors to see which levels/zones have been interacted with.
Use alerts selectively for setups aligned with your plan.
Originality
Builds upon Super OrderBlock / FVG / BoS Tools (makuchaku & eFe) for FVG/box framework.
Expanded into a unified PAC toolkit including IB, H, IH, and VI patterns.
Brooks-inspired design: Patterns contextualized with volume and trend, not isolated.
Flexible high-volume gating with per-pattern toggles.
New VI integration with wick-based mitigation.
Strong Bar Coloring differentiates conviction vs weak reversals.
MTF-aware MAs prevent clutter while providing structure.
Open-source: Transparent for learning, editing, and extension.

DM Impulse Enhanced [BackQuant]DM Impulse Enhanced
What this is (and what it isn’t)
DM Impulse Enhanced is a signal-driven overlay that classifies market action into two practical regimes: Long (risk-on) and Cash (risk-off). It’s built around a proprietary impulse model from the directional-movement family, wrapped in a persistence test and a state machine. Because this script is private, the core mechanics are intentionally abstracted here; what follows explains how to read and use it without revealing the protected calculation.
Why traders use it
Many tools oscillate or describe “how stretched” price is; fewer make a firm, operational call that you can automate. DM Impulse Enhanced aims to do exactly that declare when upside pressure is broad and durable enough to justify a long bias, and when deterioration is strong enough to stand aside (cash/short discretion). The emphasis is on impulse persistence rather than one-off spikes.
What you see on the chart
• Long / Cash markers – Green up-triangles (Long) and red down-triangles (Cash) plot at the bar where the regime changes.
• Regime-tinted bars (optional) – Candles can be softly shaded green during Long and red during Cash for at-a-glance context.
• Trend ribbon (context only) – A narrow ribbon (fast/slow moving averages) is tinted by the current regime to show trend alignment; it does not generate signals on its own.
• No separate sub-pane – Signals are intended to sit directly on price for immediate decision-making.
How the logic behaves (high-level)
Impulse core – A directional-movement–based engine estimates the strength of buying vs. selling pressure over a user-defined horizon.
Persistence gate – Instead of reacting to a single reading, the model evaluates how consistently that impulse dominates across a configurable lookback range.
State machine – When persistence clears (or fails) a pair of thresholds, the model flips and stays in that regime until evidence justifies a change. This “stickiness” is intentional; it reduces whipsaws in choppy tape.
Inputs & controls
Calculation Settings
• DM Length – The base horizon for the impulse engine. Longer = smoother/steadier; shorter = quicker/more reactive.
• Start / End – Defines the span of the persistence check. Expanding the span asks the market to prove itself against more history before changing regime.
Signal Settings
• Long Threshold – The persistence level required to promote the model into Long.
• Short Threshold – The level that, once crossed to the downside, demotes the model into Cash. Using a cross-under event for risk-off helps avoid premature exits on noise.
Visual Settings
• Long / Short colours – Customize marker and shading hues.
• Color Bars? – Toggle candle tinting by regime (off if you prefer a clean chart).
Reading the signals
• Long prints only when the model observes sustained upside pressure across the configured span. Treat this as permission to engage with pullbacks, breakouts, or your preferred setups in the direction of the trend.
• Cash prints when downside deterioration is strong enough to invalidate the prior regime. It’s a risk-off directive—flatten, hedge, or switch to short strategies according to your plan.
• Regime persistence is a feature: once Long, the model won’t flip on minor dips; once Cash, it won’t re-arm on minor bounces. If you want more flips, shorten the spans and relax thresholds; if you want fewer, do the opposite.
Practical tuning guide
Match DM Length to your timeframe
– Intraday: smaller length for timely response.
– Swing/Position: larger length to filter desk-noise and track higher-timeframe flows.
Size the persistence span to your goal
– Narrow span: faster regime changes, more trades, more noise.
– Wide span: fewer, higher-conviction calls, longer holds.
Set realistic thresholds
– The Long threshold should be reachable with your chosen span; the Short threshold should be low enough to catch genuine deterioration but not so tight that it flips on every dip.
Decide on cosmetics
– Turn on bar tinting for discretionary reading, or keep it off when exporting screenshots or running other overlays.
Suggested workflows
• Trend-following with discipline – Trade only in the Long regime; use structure (higher lows, anchored VWAP, or pullbacks to your MA stack) for entries and the Cash flip as a portfolio-level exit.
• Risk overlay – Keep your normal strategy, but: reduce size when Cash appears; re-enable full risk only after Long reasserts.
• Multi-timeframe gating – Require Long on a higher timeframe (e.g., 4H or 1D), then take entries on a lower one. If the high-TF posts Cash, stand down.
How the ribbon fits in
The ribbon visualizes short- vs. intermediate-term trend in the same colour as the regime. It’s deliberately “dumb”: it does not change the signal, it just helps you see when price action and regime are in harmony (e.g., pullbacks during Long that hold above the ribbon).
Alerts included
• DM Impulse LONG – Triggers as the persistence measure clears the Long threshold.
• DM Impulse CASH – Triggers when deterioration crosses the Short threshold from above.
Configure alerts to fire on bar close if you want final (non-intrabar) decisions.
Strengths
• Actionable binary output – Long/Cash is unambiguous and easy to automate.
• Persistence-aware – Focuses on runs that endure, not one-bar excitement.
• Asset/timeframe agnostic – Works anywhere you trust directional-movement concepts (equities, futures, crypto, FX).
Limitations & cautions
• Not a reversal caller – It’s a regime classifier. If you need early bottoms/tops, pair it with your own exhaustion or liquidity tools.
• Parameter feasibility matters – If your thresholds are set beyond what your span can reasonably achieve, signals may rarely (or never) trigger.
• Chop happens – In mean-reverting or news-driven tape, expect more frequent flips unless you widen spans and thresholds.
• Intrabar movement – Like any responsive model, provisional intrabar states can appear before the bar closes. Use “bar close” alerts for finality.
Getting started (safe defaults you can adapt)
• Intraday bias – Shorter DM Length, modest span, moderately tight thresholds.
• Swing filter – Longer DM Length, wider span, stricter Long and sufficiently low Short.
• Conservative overlay – Keep thresholds firm and spans wide; use signals to scale risk rather than flip directions frequently.
Summary
DM Impulse Enhanced is a persistence-focused regime classifier built on directional-movement concepts. It answers a narrow question clearly “Risk-on or risk-off?” and stays with that answer until the evidence meaningfully changes. Use it as a bias switch, a portfolio risk overlay, or a gate for your existing entry logic, and size its spans/thresholds to the cadence of the market you trade.
DYNAMIC TRADING DASHBOARDStudy Material for the "Dynamic Trading Dashboard"
This Dynamic Trading Dashboard is designed as an educational tool within the TradingView environment. It compiles commonly used market indicators and analytical methods into one visual interface so that traders and learners can see relationships between indicators and price action. Understanding these indicators, step by step, can help traders develop discipline, improve technical analysis skills, and build strategies. Below is a detailed explanation of each module.
________________________________________
1. Price and Daily Reference Points
The dashboard displays the current price, along with percentage change compared to the day’s opening price. It also highlights whether the price is moving upward or downward using directional symbols. Alongside, it tracks daily high, low, open, and daily range.
For traders, daily levels provide valuable reference points. The daily high and low are considered intraday support and resistance, while the median price of the day often acts as a pivot level for mean reversion traders. Monitoring these helps learners see how price oscillates within daily ranges.
________________________________________
2. VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
VWAP is calculated as a cumulative average price weighted by volume. The dashboard compares the current price with VWAP, showing whether the market is trading above or below it.
For traders, VWAP is often a guide for institutional order flow. Price trading above VWAP suggests bullish sentiment, while trading below VWAP indicates bearish sentiment. Learners can use VWAP as a training tool to recognize trend-following vs. mean reversion setups.
________________________________________
3. Volume Analysis
The system distinguishes between buy volume (when the closing price is higher than the open) and sell volume (when the closing price is lower than the open). A progress bar highlights the ratio of buying vs. selling activity in percentage.
This is useful because volume confirms price action. For instance, if prices rise but sell volume dominates, it can signal weakness. New traders learning with this tool should focus on how volume often precedes price reversals and trends.
________________________________________
4. RSI (Relative Strength Index)
RSI is a momentum oscillator that measures price strength on a scale from 0 to 100. The dashboard classifies RSI readings into overbought (>70), oversold (<30), or neutral zones and adds visual progress bars.
RSI helps learners understand momentum shifts. During training, one should notice how trending markets can keep RSI extended for longer periods (not immediate reversal signals), while range-bound markets react more sharply to RSI extremes. It is an excellent tool for practicing trend vs. range identification.
________________________________________
5. MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
The MACD indicator involves a fast EMA, slow EMA, and signal line, with focus on crossovers. The dashboard shows whether a “bullish cross” (MACD above signal line) or “bearish cross” (MACD below signal line) has occurred.
MACD teaches traders to identify trend momentum shifts and divergence. During practice, traders can explore how MACD signals align with VWAP trends or RSI levels, which helps in building a structured multi-indicator analysis.
________________________________________
6. Stochastic Oscillator
This indicator compares the current close relative to a range of highs and lows over a period. Displayed values oscillate between 0 and 100, marking zones of overbought (>80) and oversold (<20).
Stochastics are useful for students of trading to recognize short-term momentum changes. Unlike RSI, it reacts faster to price volatility, so false signals are common. Part of the training exercise can be to observe how stochastic “flips” can align with volume surges or daily range endpoints.
________________________________________
7. Trend & Momentum Classification
The dashboard adds simple labels for trend (uptrend, downtrend, neutral) based on RSI thresholds. Additionally, it provides quick momentum classification (“bullish hold”, “bearish hold”, or neutral).
This is beneficial for beginners as it introduces structured thinking: differentiating long-term market bias (trend) from short-term directional momentum. By combining both, traders can practice filtering signals instead of trading randomly.
________________________________________
8. Accumulation / Distribution Bias
Based on RSI levels, the script generates simplified tags such as “Accumulate Long”, “Accumulate Short”, or “Wait”.
This is purely an interpretive guide, helping learners think in terms of accumulation phases (when markets are low) and distribution phases (when markets are high). It reinforces the concept that trading is not only directional but also involves timing.
________________________________________
9. Overall Market Status and Score
Finally, the dashboard compiles multiple indicators (VWAP position, RSI, MACD, Stochastics, and price vs. median levels) into a Market Score expressed as a percentage. It also labels the market as Overbought, Oversold, or Normal.
This scoring system isn’t a recommendation but a learning framework. Students can analyze how combining different indicators improves decision-making. The key training focus here is confluence: not depending on one indicator but observing when several conditions align.
Extended Study Material with Formulas
________________________________________
1. Daily Reference Levels (High, Low, Open, Median, Range)
• Day High (H): Maximum price of the session.
DayHigh=max(Hightoday)DayHigh=max(Hightoday)
• Day Low (L): Minimum price of the session.
DayLow=min(Lowtoday)DayLow=min(Lowtoday)
• Day Open (O): Opening price of the session.
DayOpen=OpentodayDayOpen=Opentoday
• Day Range:
Range=DayHigh−DayLowRange=DayHigh−DayLow
• Median: Mid-point between high and low.
Median=DayHigh+DayLow2Median=2DayHigh+DayLow
These act as intraday guideposts for seeing how far the price has stretched from its key reference levels.
________________________________________
2. VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
VWAP considers both price and volume for a weighted average:
VWAPt=∑i=1t(Pricei×Volumei)∑i=1tVolumeiVWAPt=∑i=1tVolumei∑i=1t(Pricei×Volumei)
Here, Price_i can be the average price (High + Low + Close) ÷ 3, also known as hlc3.
• Interpretation: Price above VWAP = bullish bias; Price below = bearish bias.
________________________________________
3. Volume Buy/Sell Analysis
The dashboard splits total volume into buy volume and sell volume based on candle type.
• Buy Volume:
BuyVol=Volumeif Close > Open, else 0BuyVol=Volumeif Close > Open, else 0
• Sell Volume:
SellVol=Volumeif Close < Open, else 0SellVol=Volumeif Close < Open, else 0
• Buy Ratio (%):
VolumeRatio=BuyVolBuyVol+SellVol×100VolumeRatio=BuyVol+SellVolBuyVol×100
This helps traders gauge who is in control during a session—buyers or sellers.
________________________________________
4. RSI (Relative Strength Index)
RSI measures strength of momentum by comparing gains vs. losses.
Step 1: Compute average gains (AG) and losses (AL).
AG=Average of Upward Closes over N periodsAG=Average of Upward Closes over N periodsAL=Average of Downward Closes over N periodsAL=Average of Downward Closes over N periods
Step 2: Calculate relative strength (RS).
RS=AGALRS=ALAG
Step 3: RSI formula.
RSI=100−1001+RSRSI=100−1+RS100
• Used to detect overbought (>70), oversold (<30), or neutral momentum zones.
________________________________________
5. MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
• Fast EMA:
EMAfast=EMA(Close,length=fast)EMAfast=EMA(Close,length=fast)
• Slow EMA:
EMAslow=EMA(Close,length=slow)EMAslow=EMA(Close,length=slow)
• MACD Line:
MACD=EMAfast−EMAslowMACD=EMAfast−EMAslow
• Signal Line:
Signal=EMA(MACD,length=signal)Signal=EMA(MACD,length=signal)
• Histogram:
Histogram=MACD−SignalHistogram=MACD−Signal
Crossovers between MACD and Signal are used in studying bullish/bearish phases.
________________________________________
6. Stochastic Oscillator
Stochastic compares the current close against a range of highs and lows.
%K=Close−LowestLowHighestHigh−LowestLow×100%K=HighestHigh−LowestLowClose−LowestLow×100
Where LowestLow and HighestHigh are the lowest and highest values over N periods.
The %D line is a smooth version of %K (using a moving average).
%D=SMA(%K,smooth)%D=SMA(%K,smooth)
• Values above 80 = overbought; below 20 = oversold.
________________________________________
7. Trend and Momentum Classification
This dashboard generates simplified trend/momentum logic using RSI.
• Trend:
• RSI < 40 → Downtrend
• RSI > 60 → Uptrend
• In Between → Neutral
• Momentum Bias:
• RSI > 70 → Bullish Hold
• RSI < 30 → Bearish Hold
• Otherwise Neutral
This is not predictive, only a classification framework for educational use.
________________________________________
8. Accumulation/Distribution Bias
Based on extreme RSI values:
• RSI < 25 → Accumulate Long Bias
• RSI > 80 → Accumulate Short Bias
• Else → Wait/No Action
This helps learners understand the idea of accumulation at lows (strength building) and distribution at highs (profit booking).
________________________________________
9. Overall Market Status and Score
The tool adds up 5 bullish conditions:
1. Price above VWAP
2. RSI > 50
3. MACD > Signal
4. Stochastic > 50
5. Price above Daily Median
BullishScore=ConditionsMet5×100BullishScore=5ConditionsMet×100
Then it categorizes the market:
• RSI > 70 or Stoch > 80 → Overbought
• RSI < 30 or Stoch < 20 → Oversold
• Else → Normal
This encourages learners to think in terms of probabilistic conditions instead of single-indicator signals.

[AlbaTherium] Wabi-Sabi Wyckoff Flow Structure Map MTF[1.0.42] Wabi-Sabi Wyckoff Flow Structure Map
Master the Hidden Geometry of Market Campaigns – Accumulation, Distribution, and the Laws That Govern Them
Introduction
The Wabi-Sabi Wyckoff Flow Structure Map is a software-engineered analytical framework that visualizes the flow of institutional market behavior through the lens of the Wyckoff Method. This tool automates the detection of trading ranges, maps the phases of accumulation/distribution, and extrapolates price objectives .
The Wabi-Sabi Wyckoff Flow Structure Map is a meticulous implementation of the principles of Richard D. Wyckoff , interpreted through the lens of market structure and volume dynamics. This tool aims to identify, contextualize, and map out accumulation and distribution zones by interpreting the composite operator's intended path in financial markets.
It is not merely an indicator-it is a structural compass, guiding you through the architecture of smart money campaigns.
Chapter 1: The Architecture of Market Campaigns
1.1 From Noise to Narrative
Markets do not move randomly. They are orchestrated campaigns-methodically executed by informed operators. The identifies these campaigns as they unfold across:
Accumulation
Markup
Distribution
Markdown
Each is grounded in Wyckoff’s structural logic and revealed in real time.
1.2 Who Is the Composite Operator, Composite Man?
The Composite Operator (CO), Composite Man (CM) represents dominant market participants-institutions with the capacity to engineer price movement. By dissecting trading ranges, the script deciphers their behavior through:
Event-based mapping (SC, ST, Spring, AR, UTAD, etc.)
Phase progression (Phase A to E)
PnF-based directional forecasting
The CO leaves footprints. This script reads them.
Chapter 2: Wyckoff’s Core Laws, Brought to Life
2.1 The Law of Supply and Demand
Every price bar reflects this law. The tool highlights where supply is absorbed and demand emerges, revealing the true balance of power behind the chart.
2.2 The Law of Cause and Effect
Accumulation and distribution ranges are not noise-they are preparation. By measuring their width, the script calculates PnF-based targets for the post-breakout phase, offering traders quantified projections rooted in structure.
2.3 The Law of Effort vs. Result
Effort = volume.
Result = price movement.
Discrepancies between the two-expose market turning points.
This script captures those moments within Wyckoff's structural context, not isolated volume spikes.
Chapter 3: Real-Time Interpretation of Trading Ranges
3.1 Automatic Schematic Mapping
The tool auto-generates Wyckoff structures:
Detects and maps Trading Ranges dynamically
Labels Wyckoff events (SC, ST, AR, Spring, UT, LPS, etc.)
Identifies current phase (Phase B, C, D, E) via real-time bias detection
3.1.1.Core Components
a. Structural Framing
The script autonomously detects the boundaries of a trading range (TR), guided by pivot highs and lows derived from Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) dynamics and price behavior.
b. Automatic Rally (AR) & Selling Climax (SC)
These foundational events are systematically computed and highlighted using volume-weighted price interaction. The Selling Climax defines the lower bound of the TR, while the Automatic Rally sets the resistance zone.
c. Secondary Tests (ST)
The algorithm traces the STs to validate demand/supply balance and the structural integrity of the TR. These are tagged with precision to avoid false positives.
d. Spring / Upthrust Actions
Wyckoffian springs and upthrusts are flagged using deviations below support (spring) or above resistance (upthrust) coupled with volume exhaustion or climax events.
e. Creek & Ice Visualization
Inspired by Wyckoff’s narrative metaphor, the script maps the 'Creek' (High of the Range flow) and 'Ice' (Low of the Range flow), guiding the observer through breakout or breakdown conditions.
f. Sign of Strength (SOS) / Sign of Weakness (SOW)
These turning points are confirmed via expansion in spread and volume. SOS is a bullish confirmation of accumulation resolution, while SOW indicates bearish continuation.
g. LPS & LPSY
The Last Point of Support (LPS) and Last Point of Supply (LPSY) are precisely mapped post-confirmation of breakout or breakdown. Their presence strengthens the bias of the ongoing structural phase.
h. Phase Annotation
Each zone within the TR is annotated based on Wyckoff’s five-phase logic (A to E). This includes climactic action in Phase A, testing in Phase B, spring/UTAD in Phase C, confirmation in Phase D, and exit in Phase E.
3.2 Multi-Timeframe Tracking
Observe the interplay of nested structures across several timeframes. Whether you’re tracking a micro accumulation on 1-min or macro distribution on the 1H, the script integrates both for a full-spectrum view.
3.3 Point-and-Figure Price Targeting
Using Wyckoff’s Law of Cause and Effect, the tool projects price targets based on the range width. Outputs are displayed directly on the chart, aiding in:
Profit-taking zones
Invalidations
R/R planning with structure-based confidence
Chapter 4: Applying Like a Wyckoffian
4.1 Configuration Best Practices
Timeframes: 1–5min for tactical intraday, 15min–4H for swing campaigns
Detection Radius: Control how deep the script searches for structural pivots
Modes: Choose between Delta (volume shifts) and Normal (price formations)
4.2 Dashboard & Event Tracker
The Bias Dashboard displays:
The current dominant phase (e.g. “Phase C Test” or “Late Phase D”)
Key events (AR, ST, Spring, LPS)
Whether current price action supports a continuation or Climax
4.3 Alerts and Customization
Configure alerts to monitor:
New TR detection across up to 6 timeframes
Key structural events like Spring, UTAD, or SOS
Completion of cause zones with target projection triggered
Chapter 5: Use Cases and Strategic Implementation
5.1 Spotting Reversals Before the Breakout
Use the script to:
Enter near Springs (accumulation) or UTADs (distribution)
Identify retests as Last Points of Support/Resistance
Confirm or invalidate breakout attempts using the schematic context
5.2 Confirming Institutional Engagement
Recognize institutional footprints through:
Multiple STs (Testing for supply)
Strong SOS, SOW / LPS combinations
Absence of follow-through = Absorption
The Flow Map helps distinguish retail chase from professional intent.
Conclusion
The Wabi-Sabi Wyckoff Flow Structure Map is an elite market structure decoder for traders who operate on logic, not emotion. Grounded in Wyckoff’s time-tested methodology and enhanced with modern automation, it transforms the invisible structure of price action into a readable, tradeable roadmap.
“Structure precedes movement. Those who read structure, anticipate motion. Those who chase motion, miss the meaning .
”
- A Wyckoffian Principle
This tool is for traders who understand that preparation is where profits are born-not during the move, but before it."
Bar TimeBar Time is a simple utility for traders who rely on backtesting, Bar Replay, and detailed price action analysis. It solves a common but frustrating problem: knowing the exact time of the bar you are looking at.
While most time indicators show your computer's live clock time, this tool displays the bar's own timestamp, perfectly synchronized with your chart's data and timezone.
Why Is This Important?
When you are deep in a Bar Replay session or analyzing a historical setup, the live clock is irrelevant. You need to know when that critical breakout or reversal candle actually happened. Was it during the pre-market? At the London open? In the last five minutes of the US session? This indicator provides that vital context instantly, without you needing to squint at the small print on the x-axis.
Key Use Cases
1. Mastering Bar Replay
As you click through bars in Replay mode, the displayed time updates with each new bar. This allows you to simulate a live trading session with full awareness of the time of day, helping you train your decision-making under more realistic conditions.
2. Analyzing Screener Signals
This is one of the most powerful uses. Imagine your screener finds a "BUY" signal on a stock from two bars ago. You switch to that stock's chart to investigate. Instead of hunting for the exact bar, this tool instantly shows you the date and time of the bar you are currently hovering over. It dramatically speeds up the workflow of moving from a screener alert to actionable analysis.
3. Detailed Price Action Study
Quickly identify key session timings, see how price reacts to news events at a specific time, or analyze intraday volume patterns with complete temporal clarity.
Features & Customization
The tool is designed to be lightweight, efficient, and fully customizable to match your charting environment.
Timezone-Aware Accuracy: Automatically detects your chart's timezone for a perfect match between the label and the x-axis.
Fully Customizable Position: Place the time display in any of nine screen positions (e.g., Top Left, Bottom Center) using a simple dropdown menu.
Custom Colors: Easily set the background and text colors to blend seamlessly with your chart's theme.
Kaizen ColoringIntroduction To Kaizen Coloring
This tool was made for Kaizen, this indicator is to be utilized with a trend trading system.
Most trend systems are lagging, longing a "bullish trend" for most traders will lead to longing the top of ranges, or longing erroneously with poor risk management.
Below are explanations to the settings and are straight forward to understand.
Settings Overview
Existing Settings
Candle Settings
As you can see there a 2 types of candle display logic, one works on the users chart, this will be the default setting as most users will not go into tradingview and tinker with chart settings even if you ask them to.
The benefit of this is that users will have an easy set up process
Below I have included the display of both
Body Coloring
Candle Creation Coloring
Pros of Body Coloring: Using the wicks and borders of the original chart can let users more easily identify if a candle was a positive (close > open) candle or negative (close < open) this may help inform their decision.
Pros of Candle Creation: Trend logic is easier to spot, especially when zooming out as a singular color with no interference of wick/border, less noise, focus on the indicator logic.
Trend Coloring Types
Simple Coloring
Advanced Coloring
The coloring options have fundamentally different logic,
The Simple Coloring is best for capturing trapped momentum (will be explained in how to trade), as its a lot faster to react to trend dynamics,
Advanced is best for the band, as the band primarily serves as a structure, the coloring showing a greater range in the momentum e.g. strong bullish, bullish and bullish exhaustion and vice versa allows the band coloring to act as a filter.
Structure shift, + less likely to be a fakeout and usable for entry.
If the band changed color rapidly it can be a distraction I prefer having the band show the ranges of momentum, and the candle coloring be simple as its pure naked price action shouldn't be overly filtered. Price action is still the most important.
Band Settings
The band has 2 main settings, coloring, and responsiveness. The coloring has 3 modes, Simple, Advanced and Band.
Band coloring is the simplest, its the best for pure scanning multiple coins quickly but I do not recommend it for trading.
Slow Responsiveness
The slow system, works best for a detection into a structure shift, once flipped it should be used as an alert that the direction has changed, a retest in either the band, OR price action is a trading opportunity (coloring will come into this shortly)
Fast Responsiveness
The fast band system, as you can see on the left side is useful for structure shift. However, towards the middle, you can see how it can give more false positives, this is fine, in my opinion using this should be with active trading, being able to scale in and out quickly based on reaction to the band flips is imperative to the trade.
Alerts
Instructions included on image, we can discuss adding one for the main trading use case if you will find it helpful, after testing we can discuss if you want to add some extra alerts.
Trading Logic
This indicator can be used for a hands off approach for trading.
A slow band responsiveness easier to notice potential change in environment. Fast responsiveness is better when managed actively for quick trades.
For the candles, Simple Coloring, is our preference at all times, price action is the best representation of momentum when trading, all indicators are built on price and can only react to price, overly smoothing or slowing trend detection is counter productive to behavior of price action.
Following the former day pump, looking for an entry to long, we noticed the structure shift in the Band portion of this indicator (left side circled in blue), as a result it was inadequate to long.
Looking for shorts is now most optimal, so avoid taking longs and wait for a new shift.
The simple coloring here works perfectly on the candles as its highlighting there was bullish momentum, as you can see the bullish momentum was going into the band, but failed to capture continuation.
The issue with all trend indicators is the lagging nature of any indicator, as a result most new traders see "green = long" this is bad mindset, it reduces your entry from being an ideal entry to more of a fomo based chase. Putting you offside to any correction, additionally no indicator can determine if momentum will continue, so you need to use price action accordingly.
Keeping that in mind, if you study trading liquidity and delta, you can often see traders joining a trend late, in this sense, we look to see the band shift as bearish structure, and the candle coloring highlighting late longers, and failed momentum. These are our trapped traders,
Using this to short, or in my instance, avoid taking any longs, is most optimal as your short entry position is clearly defined, and invalidation is simple - a band shift or price action reclaim of the level that was "trapped momentum/bullish candles".
This provides you with the most optimal usage on how to use Kaizen coloring, or most trend tools if well made should follow this logic (often trend tools fail to do both coloring for momentum, or a band for structure/entry, Kaizen Coloring provides both). Longing GREEN or Shorting Red is an easy way to lose.
Long the trapped bearish Momentum, Short trapped bullish momentum.
On the right hand side we can see the similar play out but on the opposite side, there was in fact a deviation of the band, but following price action principles, you wouldn't set your stops at support
You should scale your limits into support and increasingly so, your invalidation is loss of support, your entry would be closer to the invalidation and your momentum trap, (red tap into support), then the band reclaim is your long thesis.
Band Coloring is set to advanced, the benefit is the ease of seeing the shift from red to green on reclaims, having the band be smooth coloring will strengthen the understanding of the structure shift.
To summarise preferences:
Simple Coloring candles, easy momentum detection,
Slow band when taking trades intermittently
Advanced Coloring band for quick confirmation of structure shifts
BTC Fractal Momentum ExtremesDescription – BTC Fractal Momentum Extremes (BTCFME)
BTC Fractal Momentum Extremes (BTCFME) is a multi-factor, multi-method technical indicator designed to detect potential top and bottom reversal points in Bitcoin price action by integrating a confluence of unconventional signals. It combines fractals, adaptive momentum, volume dynamics, price velocity convergence, and market structure shifts — all filtered through real-time volatility and contextualized by temporal market conditions.
This tool is best used by traders looking to spot high-confidence turning points on intraday or swing timeframes, and works particularly well in volatile, momentum-driven environments.
Key Components & Methodology
BTCFME utilizes five independent signal-generation methods:
1. Fractal Volume Divergence
Detects reversal fractals in price (5-bar patterns) and validates them with volume anomalies:
Volume spikes (e.g., climax moves) or
Volume exhaustion (e.g., waning participation)
2. Adaptive Momentum Oscillator
Calculates momentum normalized by ATR-adjusted volatility, filtering out noise in choppy markets. It spots directional shifts when momentum inflects from extreme levels.
3. Market Structure Breaks
Identifies dynamic support and resistance using a configurable lookback, and flags potential breakouts or breakdowns from those levels.
4. Price Velocity Convergence
Analyzes the rate of change (velocity) and its acceleration. When both compress within a narrow volatility range, it signals a potential inflection zone.
5. Temporal Confluence Filter
Signals are only considered valid during active market hours (9 AM – 4 PM, excluding weekends) to reduce false positives during illiquid or inefficient trading periods.
Signal Logic & Sensitivity
Signals are generated when at least 3 out of 4 core methods agree, controlled by the Signal Sensitivity setting:
1 (High Sensitivity) = Trigger signals with fewer confirmations
5 (Low Sensitivity) = Require stronger multi-factor confluence
🔹 Buy (Bottom) Signals trigger when:
Bullish fractals appear
Momentum is deeply negative but improving
Price tests structure support
Velocity compresses below average
🔺 Sell (Top) Signals trigger when:
Bearish fractals with volume spikes appear
Momentum peaks and starts to decline
Price tests resistance
Velocity compresses near highs
Visual Features
Arrows: Buy signals = green arrow below candle. Sell signals = red arrow above candle.
Background Color: Indicates overall momentum regime (green = bullish bias, red = bearish, gray = neutral).
Dynamic Support & Resistance Lines: Based on recent swing highs/lows.
Signal Table (top-right): Shows real-time stats on:

Alerts
You can set alerts using the built-in conditions:
BTC Bottom Alert → Fires on potential market bottoms.
BTC Top Alert → Fires on potential market tops.
These alerts are filtered to avoid whipsaw conditions, by checking that opposite signals did not trigger in the last 2 candles.
How to Use
Timeframes: Best suited for 1H–4H and Daily BTC charts, but adaptable to others with parameter tuning.
Confirm with Price Action: Use BTCFME signals in conjunction with candlestick patterns or S/R zones for best results.
Adjust Sensitivity: Lower values catch more signals (good for scalping), higher values filter for stronger reversals (ideal for swing trades).
Use in Trending or Reversing Markets: BTCFME performs best during trending environments or volatile reversals — avoid during prolonged flat/ranging zones.
Notes & Recommendations
BTCFME is not a standalone buy/sell signal; combine it with risk management and trend confirmation tools.
Avoid using it during extremely low-volume sessions (e.g., late weekends).
Adjust parameters based on BTC's evolving volatility and your trading style.

[TehThomas] - ICT Rejection BlocksWhat Are Rejection Blocks?
Rejection Blocks are price zones formed when a candle attempts to push through a level, gets rejected with force, and then closes in the opposite direction. This price action creates a “block” that reflects clear intent from smart money participants. These blocks are typically marked by a large wick that fails to close beyond a key high or low, followed by a body that closes back inside the previous range. The zone around the candle body becomes a footprint of where buyers or sellers aggressively stepped in, often defending that level with size.
Why Rejection Blocks Matter to Smart Money Traders
In any smart money model, understanding where large players are active is key. Rejection Blocks highlight exactly that. These zones often sit just above inducement highs or below engineered lows, where liquidity was taken before displacement occurred. By identifying where price got rejected with conviction, traders can spot the origin of institutional interest. These levels often act as magnets for retracement and can provide high-probability entries when price trades back into them. The best part is they often line up with other SMT elements like Fair Value Gaps, Breaker Blocks, or market structure shifts, allowing for strong confluence-based setups.
How the Indicator Works and Why It’s Effective
This script is designed to do one thing exceptionally well, automatically detect and display clean, high-quality rejection blocks. It filters out noise and only marks candles that meet strict rejection criteria. That means long wicks showing failed pushes, and bodies that close convincingly in the opposite direction. The indicator then draws a box over the candle body to mark the rejection zone. These boxes help map out areas where price is likely to react or stall in the future. By automating this process, the indicator saves time, improves consistency, and removes guesswork. You no longer have to manually scan charts or second-guess if a level is valid, the tool handles it for you.
What This Adds to Your Trading Workflow
This tool fits perfectly into any smart money strategy built around liquidity, displacement, and market structure. It helps you focus on the most meaningful zones, especially when price sweeps a high or low and leaves behind a reversal. Whether you trade breakouts, reversals, or liquidity setups, Rejection Blocks give you a visual confirmation of where price got turned away. They act as future entry zones, rejection points, or even stop placement areas. You can pair them with your Fair Value Gap entries, or use them to validate the direction of a shift in structure. This is the type of tool that simplifies your chart without losing precision.
Optimized for Focus and Clarity
There’s no clutter, no overload of options, and no distractions. Just clean, focused rejection zones that update in real-time. The boxes stay until invalidated, giving you a static map of relevant zones without recalculating on every bar. This makes it ideal for traders who want to plan entries, set alerts, or manage risk without redrawing levels every session. Whether you scalp on the 5M or swing trade using the 4H, this tool helps lock in the zones where price already told you something important, rejection with force.
Conclusion
The Rejection Blocks indicator is for traders who want cleaner charts, smarter levels, and more conviction behind every entry. It isolates zones where price showed clear rejection and turns them into actionable blocks that fit seamlessly into any smart money strategy. If you rely on liquidity sweeps, displacement, and reaction-based entries, this tool brings clarity and consistency to your edge. Just turn it on and let it show you where real rejection occurred.
Example of how to use it
[MAD] FVG with LTF-POC/TPOOverview
The Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detector is a precision tool designed to automatically identify, draw, and track market inefficiencies. These gaps, also known as imbalances, often act as powerful magnets for future price action.
This indicator handles the entire lifecycle of an FVG: from its creation and extension, to the moment it is first touched, and through its entire mitigation process. To add an even deeper layer of analysis, it can now optionally plot two types of micro-analysis lines for the middle candle of the FVG pattern: a volume-based Point of Control (LTF-POC) and a time-based Time Price Opportunity (LTF-TPO). These high-precision lines pinpoint the most significant price levels within the imbalance itself.
By providing a clean and objective visualization of these critical price zones, the FVG Detector gives traders a clear framework for spotting high-probability setups and understanding how the market returns to areas of inefficiency to become balanced once again.
█ How It Works
The indicator’s logic is built on precise detection, dynamic visualization, and intelligent state tracking to provide a comprehensive view of market imbalances.
⚪ The FVG Detection Engine
At its core, the indicator uses a classic three-candle pattern to identify FVGs. This mechanical definition removes all subjectivity:
Bullish FVG: A gap is identified when the high of the first candle is lower than the low of the third candle. The space between these two prices creates the bullish FVG.
Bearish FVG: A gap is identified when the low of the first candle is higher than the high of the third candle. The space between these two prices creates the bearish FVG.
⚪ Dynamic Drawing and Mitigation
Once an FVG is detected, the indicator automatically draws a colored box to represent the gap. This box is then managed through its entire lifecycle:
Extension: If enabled, the FVG box extends forward in time with each new candle, acting as a visible, forward-looking zone of interest.
Partial Mitigation Trigger: The moment price first "touches" the gap, the box changes color to signal that it is no longer a fresh, unmitigated zone. The statistics table counts this as a "Partially Mitigated" event.
Shrinking FVG: As price moves further into the gap, the colored box dynamically shrinks, providing a real-time visual of how much of the imbalance has been filled.
Historical Outline: An optional secondary outline box is drawn to preserve the FVG's original size. This outline stops extending when the FVG is first touched, leaving a permanent historical marker.
⚪ Optional LTF Analysis for Added Precision
The indicator can look "inside" the FVG's middle candle to find its most significant price levels.
LTF-POC (Volume-Based): Using data from a lower timeframe, it analyzes the volume profile of the FVG-creating candle to find the single price level from the lower-timeframe bar with the highest trading volume.
LTF-TPO (Time-Based): It also identifies the Time Price Opportunity by dividing the candle's price range into distinct "bins." The script counts how many lower-timeframe price ticks occurred in each bin, and the TPO line is drawn at the center of the busiest bin.
Visual Confluence: These are drawn as distinct horizontal lines (defaulting to orange for POC and yellow for TPO) that extend and are managed alongside the FVG's historical outline, serving as precise levels of interest within the broader FVG zone.
█ Why This Indicator is Different
While many traders can spot FVGs manually, this indicator offers a significant edge through the possibility of the lowertimeframe analysis and showing the syntetic TPO or POCs for the relevant candles.
⚪ Automated and Objective
The market moves fast, and manually drawing FVGs is impractical and prone to error. This tool automates the entire process.
Never Miss a Gap: The detector impartially scans every three-candle sequence, ensuring no FVG is missed.
No Subjectivity: The rules for detection, mitigation, and LTF analysis are based on fixed mathematical models, removing subjective judgment.
Multi-Timeframe Clarity: The indicator works flawlessly on any timeframe, allowing you to maintain a consistent view of market structure.
⚪ Visualizing Market Memory
This tool does more than just draw boxes; it tells a story. Watching a box change color and shrink provides a visual of market dynamics in action. The optional historical outlines and LTF analysis lines build a "map" on your chart, showing where significant reactions and high-liquidity zones occurred in the past, which provides invaluable context for future price movements.
█ How to Use
⚪ Identifying High-Probability Zones
The primary use of the FVG Detector is to identify high-probability zones where price may react.
Entries: Unmitigated (fresh) FVGs can serve as powerful entry zones. Traders may look for price to return to a bullish FVG to take a long position, or to a bearish FVG to take a short position.
Targets: An FVG in your path can also act as a logical profit target. For example, if you are in a long position, you might take profit as price fills a nearby bearish FVG above you.
⚪ Confluence and Confirmation
FVGs are most powerful when they align with other forms of technical analysis. Look for FVGs that have "confluence" with:
Market Structure: A bullish FVG found at a key support level or after a bullish break of structure is a higher-probability setup.
Order Blocks: An FVG that overlaps with a bullish or bearish order block creates a very potent point of interest.
Premium/Discount Zones: FVGs found deep in a premium (for shorts) or discount (for longs) area of a trading range often yield strong reactions.
The LTF Lines (POC & TPO): Use these lines as a source of internal confluence. While the FVG gives you a zone, the POC and TPO give you precise levels within that zone. The POC shows where the highest volume was traded, while the TPO shows where price spent the most time. Confluence between these two lines can signal an extremely strong level.
█ Settings
Max Number of FVGs to Display: Controls how many active FVGs are kept on the chart to prevent clutter and maintain performance.
Extend Unmitigated FVGs: When enabled, FVG boxes will extend to the right until price touches them.
Show Bullish/Bearish FVGs: Toggles the visibility of bullish or bearish FVGs.
Show FVG Labels: Toggles the visibility of the "FVG" text labels.
Keep Mitigated Outlines: If checked, the historical outline box (and its associated POC/TPO lines) will remain on the chart even after the FVG is completely filled.
Show Statistics: Toggles the visibility of the statistics table, which tracks total, partly mitigated, and fully mitigated FVGs.
Show LTF-TPO (Time-Based): Toggles the calculation and display of the Time Price Opportunity line.
Show LTF-POC (Volume-Based): Toggles the calculation and display of the Point of Control line.
Use Custom LTF for Analysis: Check this to manually select a timeframe for the POC/TPO calculation. If unchecked, the script auto-selects a lower timeframe.
Lower Timeframe: The specific lower timeframe to use when the "Custom LTF" box is checked.
Magnifier (Bars per Slice): Controls how the script auto-selects a lower timeframe (higher number = lower timeframe). Only active when "Custom LTF" is unchecked.
█ The Logic Explained
This indicator uses a clear, rules-based system based on mathematical and conditional principles.
The 3-Candle FVG Pattern
The detection engine precisely identifies FVGs by comparing the price extremes of a three-candle sequence. For a bullish FVG, it confirms that the high of the first candle is strictly below the low of the third candle. For a bearish FVG, the low of the first candle must be strictly above the high of the third. This leaves an objective, unfilled gap in the market.
The Mitigation and Shrinking Process
Once an FVG is created, the indicator monitors it on every subsequent bar. The moment a candle's price action enters the FVG's zone, it's flagged as "partially mitigated," and its color changes. The script then continues to track how far price pushes into the gap, dynamically shrinking the box to visually represent the remaining imbalance.
Lower-Timeframe (LTF) Analysis Explained
To add precision, the indicator performs a micro-analysis of the middle candle of the FVG pattern. This is achieved by mathematically deconstructing that single candle using data from a smaller timeframe.
The lower timeframe is determined either manually or automatically via the Magnifier. The Magnifier works by dividing the chart's current timeframe. For example, on a 60-minute chart, a Magnifier of 60 tells the indicator to perform its analysis using 1-minute data (60÷60=1).
Once the LTF data is obtained, two calculations are performed:
LTF Point of Control (Volume-Based): This method seeks the price of maximum commitment. The indicator analyzes the volume of every single lower-timeframe bar within the main candle and identifies the one bar with the highest trading volume. The closing price of that specific high-volume bar is designated as the POC.
LTF Time Price Opportunity (Time-Based): This method finds the price where the market spent the most time trading. The process is a form of price distribution analysis:
The total price range (high to low) of the main candle is measured.
This range is divided into 40 equal price zones, or "bins". For a candle with a $2 range, each bin would represent a price slice of 5 cents
The indicator then counts how many of the lower-timeframe closing prices fall within each of the 40 bins.
The TPO line is drawn at the midpoint of the single bin that contained the most prices, representing the "busiest" price level.
Time-Based Drawing for Accuracy
To ensure perfect alignment across all historical data and chart reloads, all drawings are anchored to the precise timestamp of the bar, not its sequential position on the chart. This robust method guarantees that all zones remain fixed and accurate regardless of how much historical data is loaded.
█ Disclaimer
Investors are fully responsible for any investment decisions they make.

Sweep Swing Screener [TradingFinder]🔵 Introduction
Understanding how liquidity forms and how price reacts around key structural levels is essential for identifying precise, low-risk entry points. The Sweep Swing Screener is a specialized tool developed to continuously monitor market activity and detect liquidity sweeps, reaction zones, and valid confirmation candles across various trading instruments and timeframes.
This tool can be applied both to scan multiple symbols at once and to analyze all timeframes of a specific asset for potential reversal points. It begins by identifying a clear swing point, whether a swing high or a swing low, and then outlines a reaction zone between that level and either the highest or lowest value of the swing candle's open or close.
If the price revisits this zone, performs a liquidity grab, and prints an indecision candle like a doji or a narrow-bodied bar that closes within the zone, this may indicate a rejection of the level and the failure of a breakout attempt. At that moment, depending on the context, the screener may identify a bullish or bearish reversal and generate a corresponding Long or Short signal.
By emphasizing accurate entry timing, alignment with institutional order flow, and avoidance of common traps, this approach highlights market areas where liquidity engineering, reversal probability, and price inefficiency come together. As a result, the Sweep Swing Screener becomes a valuable part of any trader’s toolkit, particularly for those who rely on price action and liquidity logic to drive their decisions. It allows traders to focus on clean, actionable setups without getting lost in noise or misleading breakouts.
🔵 How to Use
The Sweep Swing Screener is designed to track market structure in real time and alert users when conditions for a potential reversal are present. Its methodology combines liquidity behavior with swing analysis and candle confirmation, all within predefined reaction zones.
To better understand this logic, consider a basic market flow where a swing high or low forms, followed by a return to that level. If the price sweeps the previous extreme and forms a confirming candle within the reaction zone, a signal is issued.
🟣 Long Signal
To identify a long setup, the screener looks for a valid swing low, often a level below which sell-side liquidity is likely to be clustered. Once found, it defines a reaction zone from the swing low to the lowest point between the candle’s open and close.
If the price returns to this area and creates a lower wick that extends beneath the swing low, the tool checks whether the price manages to close back inside the range, rejecting the breakdown. This indicates absorption of selling pressure and failure to sustain the move lower.
The screener then waits for a confirmation candle to appear. Typically, this is a doji or other small-bodied candle that closes inside the zone. If these conditions are met, the screener records a Long signal for that asset and, if enabled, sends a notification to alert the user.
🟣 Short Signal
For bearish setups, the screener begins by identifying a valid swing high, which usually marks a level where buy-side liquidity is concentrated. It then creates a reaction zone from the swing high to the highest point between the candle’s open and close.
When price returns to this level, sweeps above the swing high, and then fails to close higher, it may signal the presence of a bull trap and early exhaustion in the upward move.
A confirmation candle, usually a doji or a rejection bar that closes back within the zone, is then required. Once that occurs, the screener marks the asset with a Short signal and optionally sends a real-time alert to the user.
This type of setup helps highlight potential institutional sell zones, offering insight into where price is likely to reverse following a liquidity event.
🔵 Settings

🔵 Conclusion
The Sweep Swing Screener provides a systematic method for identifying potential reversal zones by combining price structure, liquidity behavior, and candle-based confirmation. In markets that are often noisy and full of failed breakouts, focusing on these three elements helps clarify directional bias and supports more confident decision-making.
With the ability to scan multiple symbols and timeframes efficiently, this tool allows traders to stay focused on high-quality setups without the need to manually sift through dozens of charts. The inclusion of optional alerts further enhances its utility by offering timely updates when criteria are met.
By moving away from reactive strategies and toward structural anticipation, this screener supports traders who align their methods with institutional logic and the mechanics of smart money.

Regular Bearish: Price makes a higher high while OI makes a lower high.
Hidden Bearish: Price makes a lower high while OI makes a higher high.
Connects each pivot pair with a thin line:
Regular uses dark navy
Hidden uses a lighter blue
Labels each divergence (“Bull Div,” “H Bull Div,” etc.) above or below the OI line for clarity.
How to Use
Add to Chart:
Open Pine Editor → paste the script → Save → “Add to Chart.”
Configure Inputs:
Adjust Pivot Lookback to match your timeframe: shorter (3–5) for intraday, longer (8–12) for daily/weekly.
Tweak OI Change Threshold to filter out noise or capture more subtle OI shifts.
Interpretation:
Background Color: Quick read on whether OI is reinforcing or diverging from price.
Divergence Lines: Look for regular divergences as early reversal signals; hidden divergences often indicate trend continuation or strong pullback entry points.
Alerts: Set up custom alerts on “Regular Bullish OI Divergence,” etc., to get popup/messages/notifications.
Best Practices:
Combine with your favorite price-based indicators (e.g. RSI, VWAP) for confluence.
Validate divergence signals against higher-timeframe pivots to avoid false breakouts.
Use in trending markets for continuation trades (hidden divergences) and in range markets for reversal setups (regular divergences).
Delta Volume BubblesDelta Volume Bubbles
Overview
The Delta Volume Bubbles indicator is an advanced order flow visualization tool that displays buying and selling pressure through dynamic bubble representations on your chart. Unlike traditional volume indicators that only show total volume, this indicator calculates the net delta volume (difference between buying and selling volume) and presents it as color-coded bubbles of varying sizes.
How It Works
Core Calculation Method
The indicator uses a sophisticated approach to estimate delta volume from standard OHLCV data:
1. Price Action Analysis: Analyzes the relationship between open, high, low, and close prices to determine market aggression
2. Body Ratio Calculation: body_ratio = |close - open| / (high - low)
3. Aggressive Factor: Applies multipliers based on price action:
- Strong moves (body_ratio > 0.7): 1.5x multiplier
- Moderate moves (body_ratio > 0.4): 1.2x multiplier
- Weak moves: 1.0x multiplier
4. Delta Volume Estimation:
- Buy Volume: price_change > 0 ? volume × aggressive_factor : 0
- Sell Volume: price_change < 0 ? volume × aggressive_factor : 0
- Net Delta: buy_volume - sell_volume
5. Delta Strength Normalization: delta_strength = |net_delta| / sma(volume, 20)
Percentile-Based Filtering
The indicator uses percentile filtering instead of fixed thresholds, making it adaptive to market conditions:
- Bubble Filter: Only shows bubbles when volume exceeds the specified percentile (default: 60%)
- Label Filter: Only displays numbers when volume exceeds a higher percentile (default: 90%)
- Dynamic Adaptation: Automatically adjusts to changing market volatility
Visual Elements
Bubble Sizes
- Tiny: Delta strength < 0.3
- Small: Delta strength 0.3 - 0.7
- Normal: Delta strength 0.7 - 1.2
- Large: Delta strength 1.2 - 2.0
- Huge: Delta strength > 2.0
Color Coding
- Aggressive Buy (Bright Green): Strong buying pressure with high body ratio
- Aggressive Sell (Bright Red): Strong selling pressure with high body ratio
- Passive Buy (Light Green): Moderate buying pressure
- Passive Sell (Light Red): Moderate selling pressure
Intensity Mode
Alternative coloring based on delta strength rather than flow direction:
- Gray: Low intensity (< 0.5)
- Blue: Medium intensity (0.5 - 1.0)
- Orange: High intensity (1.0 - 2.0)
- Red: Extreme intensity (> 2.0)
Parameters
Order Flow Settings
- Show Bubbles: Toggle bubble display on/off
- Bubble Volume %ile: Percentile threshold for bubble display (0-100%)
- Intensity Mode: Switch between flow-based and intensity-based coloring
Bubble Labels
- Show Numbers in Bubbles: Toggle numerical labels on/off
- Label Volume %ile: Higher percentile threshold for label display (0-100%)
Numbers are displayed in K-notation (e.g., 25000 → 25K, 1500000 → 1.5M) for better readability.
Ideal Usage Scenarios
Best Market Conditions
- High volume sessions: More accurate delta calculations
- Trending markets: Clear directional flow identification
- Breakout scenarios: Spot aggressive buying/selling at key levels
- Support/resistance testing: Identify accumulation vs distribution
Trading Applications
1. Entry Timing: Look for aggressive flow in your trade direction
2. Exit Signals: Watch for opposing aggressive flow
3. Trend Confirmation: Consistent flow direction confirms trends
4. Volume Climax: Huge bubbles may indicate exhaustion points
Optimization Tips
Parameter Adjustment
- Lower percentiles (40-60%): More bubbles, good for active markets
- Higher percentiles (70-90%): Fewer bubbles, focus on significant events
- Label percentile: Set 20-30% higher than bubble percentile for clarity
Visual Optimization
- Intensity mode: Better for identifying unusual volume spikes
- Flow mode: Better for directional bias analysis
- Label toggle: Turn off in crowded markets, on for key levels
Limitations
- Estimation-based: Uses approximation algorithms, not true order flow data
- Volume dependency: Requires accurate volume data to function properly
- Timeframe sensitivity: Works best on intraday timeframes with active volume
- Market hours: Most effective during high-volume trading sessions
Technical Notes
The indicator implements advanced Pine Script features including:
- Dynamic percentile calculations using ta.percentile_linear_interpolation()
- Conditional plotting with multiple size categories
- Custom number formatting functions
- Efficient label management to prevent display limits
This tool is designed for traders who want to understand the underlying buying and selling pressure beyond simple volume analysis, providing insights into market sentiment and potential turning points.
Better MACD📘 Better MACD – Adaptive Momentum & Divergence Suite
Better MACD is a comprehensive momentum-trend tool that evolves the traditional MACD into a multi-dimensional, divergence-aware oscillator. It leverages exponential smoothing across logarithmic rate-of-change of OHLC data, adaptive signal processing, and intelligent divergence detection logic to provide traders with earlier, smoother, and more reliable momentum signals.
This indicator is built for professional-level analysis, suitable for scalping, swing trading, and trend-following systems.
🧬 Core Concept
Unlike the classic MACD which subtracts two EMAs of price, Better MACD constructs a signal by:
Applying logarithmic transformation on the change between OHLC components (Close, High, Low, Open).
Using double EMA smoothing to filter noise and volatility, Triangular method. 1st to 2nd Smoothing.
Averaging and de-biasing the results through a custom linear regression model, 4th Smoothing.
Subtracting a fast SMA and slow SMA response to yield a dynamic MACD value, 3rd Smoothing.
The result is a smooth, adaptive, and high-resolution MACD-style oscillator that responds more naturally to trend conditions and price geometry.
🧠 Features Breakdown
1. 📈 Multi-Layer MACD Engine
Src1: Smoothed Log Rate-of-Change on Close
Src2: Smoothed Log Rate-of-Change on High
Src3: Smoothed Log Rate-of-Change on Low
Src4: Smoothed Log Rate-of-Change on Open
These are blended using highest high, lowest low, and average Close price over a configurable window for more complete trend detection. The open-based Src4 is subtracted using SMA.
2. 🧮 Signal Line
A fast EMA (signalLength) of the Better MACD value is used for crossover logic.
Crossovers of MACD and Signal line signal potential entries or exits.

RTH Candles Overlay--Overview
Unlock a new way to analyze Regular Trading Hours (RTH) with this powerful indicator! Designed for traders who focus on the 09:30–16:00 market session (default EST), it redefines hourly price action by aligning candlesticks with the RTH start at 09:30, rather than the standard XX:00. It also plots hourly high/low lines and projection zones to pinpoint potential support, resistance, and price targets. Plus, it displays compact hourly candlesticks on the right side of your chart for quick, at-a-glance analysis.
--Key Features
Shifted RTH Candles: Unlike standard hourly candles starting at XX:00, this indicator aligns candles with the RTH open at 09:30 (e.g., 09:30–10:30, 10:30–11:30). This captures true market momentum from the opening bell, offering a more accurate view of price action.
Session High/Low Lines: Marks the high and low prices for each session with clear, labeled lines (e.g., “0930-1030 High”) to highlight key levels.
Projection Zones: Draws shaded boxes above and below each session’s range (default: 0.25 and 0.5 Projection levels) to show potential price targets or reversal zones.
Shifted Candlesticks: Displays each shifted Hour as a candlestick (open, high, low, close) on the right side of the chart, with bullish candles in green and bearish in gray for easy comparison.
Vertical Markers: Dotted vertical lines mark the start of each period (e.g., 09:30) for clear time segmentation.
Historical Analysis: View up to 5 days of past sessions to spot trends and recurring levels.
Fully Customizable: Adjust session times, timezone, colors, and projection levels to fit your trading style.
--How It Works
RTH-Aligned Candles: The indicator divides the trading day into up to seven sessions (default: hourly from 09:30 to 16:00 EST). Each session starts at times like 09:30, 10:30, etc., aligning with the RTH open instead of standard hourly intervals. This shift ensures you see price action as it unfolds during key market hours.
High/Low Lines: Horizontal lines mark the highest and lowest prices for each session, with customizable labels for easy reference.
Fibonacci Zones: Shaded boxes extend above (0.25 to 0.5 times the session’s range) and below (–0.25 to –0.5) each session’s high/low, highlighting potential price targets or areas where price may reverse.
Candles: Each shifted hour is summarized as a candlestick on the right side of the chart, showing open, high, low, and close prices. Bullish candles are green, bearish are gray, and you can adjust their size and spacing.
Vertical Lines: Dotted lines at the start of each session (e.g., 09:30) help you visualize session boundaries.
Historical Data: Analyze up to 5 days of past sessions to identify patterns or key levels.
--Settings
Timezone: Set your market’s timezone (default: EST, -4 hours).
Session Times: Customize up to seven sessions (default: hourly from 09:30 to 16:00).
Max Days to Plot: Show up to 5 days of historical sessions (default: 1 day).
Candle Styles: Toggle session candles, adjust width, spacing, and offset. Customize bullish (green) and bearish (gray) colors.
High/Low Lines: Enable/disable high/low lines, set color (default: gray), style (solid, dotted, dashed), and label size. Optionally show session open lines and labels.
Fibonacci Zones: Turn projection zones on/off, adjust levels (default: 0.25 and 0.5), and choose fill color (default: translucent gray).
Vertical Lines: Toggle session start lines and customize their color and style.
--Best Used For
Day Trading: Spot key levels and price targets during RTH sessions, aligned with the 09:30 market open.
RTH Analysis: Get a clearer picture of price action with candles that match the market’s true rhythm, starting at 09:30 instead of XX:00.
Fibonacci Trading: Use projection zones to identify potential support, resistance, or breakout levels.
Session Comparison: Compare price action across sessions using compact candlesticks and historical data.
--How to Use
1. Add the indicator to your TradingView chart (works best on 1-hour or lower timeframes).
2. Set the timezone and session times to match your market (default: 09:30–16:00 EST).
3. Enable/disable features like Fibonacci zones, high/low lines, or session candles in the settings.
4. Use the shaded zones to anticipate price targets or reversals based on Fibonacci levels.
5. Analyze session candles and historical data to spot trends or recurring levels.
--Why This Indicator?
The RTH Session Candles with projection Zones indicator is a game-changer for traders who want to focus on the market’s true rhythm. By aligning candles with the 09:30 RTH open, it captures price action as it happens, unlike standard hourly charts. Paired with projection zones and clear session markings, it’s a simple yet powerful tool to identify key levels and potential price moves. Perfect for day traders, swing traders, or anyone who wants a cleaner, more precise view of the market.
