DEnvelope [Better Bollinger Bands]*** ***
Bollinger Bands (BB) usually expand quickly after a volatility increase but contract more slowly as volatility declines. This extended time it takes for BB to contract after a volatility drop can make trading some instruments using BB alone difficult or less profitable.
In the October 1998 issue of "Futures" there is an article written by Dennis McNicholl called "Better Bollinger Bands", in which the author recommends improving BB by modifying:
- the center line formula &
- different equations for calculating the bands.
These bands, called "DEnvelope", follow price more closely and respond faster to changes in volatility with these modifications.

Bayesian Liquidity Pain & Gain [Instit. Vol Weighted]Bayesian Liquidity Pain & Gain Indicator
Stop guessing where support and resistance are.
The Bayesian Liquidity Pain & Gain indicator moves beyond arbitrary lines and raw price action. It quantifies Institutional Intent by calculating the exact price levels where large volume has been accumulated and visualizes the "Pain" (stress) those participants feel when the market moves against them.
The Logic: Quantified Institutional Stress
Institutions don't trade single candles; they accumulate positions over time. This indicator tracks their Volume-Weighted Average Cost Basis to answer two critical questions:
Where did they enter? (The Cost Basis Lines)
Are they underwater? (The Pain Clouds)
By normalizing price distance using volatility (ATR) and statistical deviation (Z-Score), we filter out noise and only highlight zones where "Smart Money" is statistically forced to defend their positions or capitulate.
How to Read the Chart
1. The Cost Basis Lines (Anchors)
• 🟢 Green Line (Buyer Cost Basis): The average price where institutions accumulated long positions. This acts as dynamic Support.
• 🔴 Red Line (Seller Cost Basis): The average price where institutions accumulated short positions. This acts as dynamic Resistance.
2. The Pain Clouds (Signals)
When price moves significantly away from the cost basis (Z-Score > 2.0), "Clouds" appear to visualize the PnL status of the participants:
• 🔴 Red Cloud (Buyer Pain): Price is below the buyer's entry. Buyers are losing money (in the red). This creates a "Discount" zone where they may defend support.
• 🟢 Green Cloud (Seller Pain): Price is above the seller's entry. Sellers are losing money (shorts are squeezed). This indicates strong bullish momentum.
3. The Multi-Timeframe Dashboard
A real-time HUD showing the Z-Score status across 4 timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, 1h):
• 🟢 Green: Profitable/Neutral (Trend Continuation)
• 🟠 Orange: Warning (Pressure Building)
• 🔴 Red: Critical Pain (High Probability Reversal)
Trading Strategies
Setup 1: The Defensive Bounce (Long)
• Context: Price drops into a 🔴 Red Cloud (Buyer Pain).
• Trigger: Price touches the 🟢 Green Line (Buyer Cost Basis) and shows a rejection wick.
• Logic: Institutional buyers defend their cost basis to avoid realizing losses.
Setup 2: The Short Squeeze (Momentum)
• Context: Price rallies into a 🟢 Green Cloud (Seller Pain).
• Trigger: Price holds above the 🔴 Red Line (Seller Cost Basis).
• Logic: Short sellers are trapped and forced to buy back (cover), fueling the rally.
Fractal Alignment:
For high-conviction trades, wait for the Dashboard to show "Pain" signals on both the 1h (Anchor) and 5m (Trigger) timeframes simultaneously.
Settings
• Memory Length (Default 144): The lookback period for the institutional cost basis. Increase for swing trading, decrease for scalping.
• Sigma Threshold (Default 2.0): The statistical confidence level for "Pain". Higher values = fewer, stronger signals.
• Volume Amp: When enabled, high volume amplifies the pain signal, giving more weight to institutional footprints.
FTPM – Institutional Trend Pressure Suite @darshaksscThis indicator provides an informational view of market trend pressure using fractal-based momentum events, smoothed pressure calculations, higher timeframe confirmation, and divergence analysis. It does not produce buy or sell signals. Instead, it presents market context to help traders interpret trend conditions in a structured and data-driven way.
The indicator includes the following components:
1). Non-repainting Trend Pressure Engine
The pressure line is derived from confirmed fractal events, body-to-range ratios, displacement strength, and a controlled decay factor. The value is normalized to a 0 to 100 scale. A rising pressure value suggests increasing trend strength, while a declining value indicates weakening strength. This is informational only.
2). Pressure Shifts
The tool highlights transitions where pressure crosses above or below key thresholds. These labels do not represent entries or exits, but simply indicate contextual changes in momentum.
3). Higher Timeframe Pressure Confirmation
Users can compare current timeframe pressure to a selected higher timeframe. When both pressures align in similar regions, it may indicate agreement in broader market structure. This feature is informational only and does not generate trading signals.
4). Divergence Detection
Identifies confirmed bullish or bearish divergences between price pivots and pressure pivots. Divergences are simply analytical tools and should not be interpreted as actionable trading signals.
5). Institutional Dashboard
A multi-line dashboard summarizes current pressure, regime classification, higher timeframe regime, pressure direction, divergence status, and alignment conditions. The dashboard is informational only. No part of the dashboard should be interpreted as a trade instruction.
6). Dashboard Size Selector
Users may switch between Full, Medium, or Thin dashboard layouts to match their screen preferences. This affects only display, not indicator logic.
Important Notes
This indicator does not forecast future price movement.
It does not generate buy, sell, long, or short signals.
It does not guarantee profitable outcomes.
It is intended purely for visual analysis and market context.
All information is derived from confirmed historical data.
No part of this script is designed to automate trading decisions.
This tool is suitable for traders who want a clear, non-repainting visualization of pressure conditions and structural behavior without violating TradingView House Rules.

BTC Mon 8am Buy / Wed 2pm Sell (NY Time, Daily + Intraday)This strategy implements a fixed weekly time-based trading schedule for Bitcoin, using New York market hours as the reference clock. It is designed to test whether a consistent pattern exists between early-week accumulation and mid-week distribution in BTC price behavior.
Entry Rule — Monday 8:00 AM (NY Time)
The strategy enters a long position every Monday at exactly 08:00 AM Eastern Time, one hour after the U.S. equities market pre-open activity begins influencing global liquidity.
This timing attempts to capture early-week directional moves in Bitcoin, which sometimes occur as traditional markets come online.
Exit Rule — Wednesday 2:00 PM (NY Time)
The strategy closes the position every Wednesday at 2:00 PM Eastern Time, a point in the week where:
U.S. equity markets are still open
BTC often experiences mid-week volatility rotations
Liquidity is generally high
This exit removes exposure before later-week uncertainty and gives a consistent, measurable time window for each trade.
Timeframe Compatibility
Works on intraday charts (recommended 1h or lower) using precise time-based triggers.
Also runs on daily charts, where entries and exits occur on the Monday and Wednesday bars respectively (daily charts cannot show intraday timestamps).
All timestamps are synced to America/New_York regardless of the exchange’s native timezone.
Trading Frequency
Exactly one trade per week, preventing overtrading and allowing comparison of weekly performance across years of historical BTC price data.
Purpose of the Strategy
This is not a value-based or trend-following system, but a behavioral/time-cycle analysis tool.
It helps evaluate whether a repeating short-term edge exists based solely on:
Weekday timing
Liquidity cycles
Institutional market influence
BTC’s habitual early-week momentum patterns
It is ideal for:
Backtesting weekly BTC behavior
Studying time-based edges
Comparing alternative weekday/time combinations
Visualizing weekly P&L structure
Risk Notes
This strategy does not attempt to predict price direction and should not be assumed profitable without robust backtesting.
Time-based edges can appear, disappear, or invert depending on macro conditions.
There is no stop loss or risk management included by default, so the strategy reflects raw timing-based performance.
VB-MainLiteVB-MainLite – v1.0 Initial Release
Overview
VB-MainLite is a consolidated market-structure and execution framework designed to streamline decision-making into a single chart-level view. The script combines multi-timeframe trend, volatility, volume, and liquidity signals into one cohesive visual layer, reducing indicator clutter while preserving depth of information for active traders.
Core Architecture
Trend Backbone – EMA 200
Dedicated EMA 200 acts as the primary trend filter and higher-timeframe bias reference.
Serves as the “spine” of the system for contextualizing all secondary signals (swings, reversals, volume events, etc.).
Custom MA Suite (Envelope Ready)
Four configurable moving averages with flexible source, length, and smoothing.
Default configuration (preset idea: “8/89 Envelope”):
MA #1: EMA 8 on high
MA #2: EMA 8 on low
MA #3: EMA 89 on high
MA #4: EMA 89 on low
All four are disabled by default to keep the chart minimal. Users can toggle them on from the Custom MAs group for envelope or cloud-style configurations.
Nadaraya–Watson Smoother (Swing Framework)
Gaussian-kernel Nadaraya–Watson regression applied to price (hl2) to build a smooth synthetic curve.
Two layers of functionality:
Swing labels (▲ / ▼) at inflection points in the smoothed curve.
Optional curve line that visually tracks the turning structure over the last ~500 bars.
Designed to surface early swing potential before standard MAs react.
Hull Moving Average (Trend Overlay)
Optional Hull MA (HMA) for faster trend visualization.
Color-coded by slope (buy/sell bias).
Default: off to prevent overloading the chart; can be enabled under Hull MA settings.
Momentum, Exhaustion & Pattern Engine
CCI-Based Bar Coloring
CCI applied to close with configurable thresholds.
Overbought / oversold CCI zones map directly into candle coloring to visually highlight short-term momentum extremes.
RSI Top / Bottom Exhaustion Finder
RSI logic applied separately to high-driven (tops) and low-driven (bottoms) sequences.
Plots:
Top arrows where high-side RSI stretches into high-risk territory.
Bottom arrows where low-side RSI indicates exhaustion on the downside.
Useful as confluence around the Nadaraya swing turns and EMA 200 regime.
Engulfing + MA Trend Engine (“Fat Bull / Fat Bear”)
Detects bullish and bearish engulfing patterns, then combines them with MA trend cross logic.
Only when both pattern and MA regime align does the engine flag:
Fat Bull (Engulf + MA aligned long)
Fat Bear (Engulf + MA aligned short)
Candles are marked via conditional barcolor to highlight strong, structured shifts in control.
Fat Finger Detection (Wick Spikes / Stop Runs)
Identifies abnormal wick extensions relative to the prior bar’s body range with configurable tolerance.
Supports detection of potential liquidity grabs, stop runs, or “excess” that may precede reversals or mean-reversion behavior.
Volume & Liquidity Intelligence
Bull Snort (Aggressive Buy Spikes)
Flags events where:
Volume is significantly above the 50-period average, and
Price closes in the upper portion of the bar and above prior close.
Plots a labeled marker below the bar to indicate aggressive upside initiative by buyers.
Pocket Pivots (Accumulation Flags)
Compares current volume vs prior 10 sessions with a filter on prior “up” days.
Highlights pocket pivot days where current green candle volume outclasses recent down-day volumes, suggesting stealth accumulation.
Delta Volume Core (Directional Volume by Price)
Internal volume-by-price style engine over a user-defined lookback.
Splits volume into up-close and down-close buckets across dynamic price bins.
Feeds into S&R and ICT zone logic to quantify where buying vs selling pressure built up.
Structural Context: S&R and ICT Zones
S&R Power Channel
Computes local high/low band over a configurable lookback window.
Renders:
Upper and lower S&R channel lines.
Shaded support / resistance zones using boxes.
Adds Buy Power / Sell Power metrics based on the ratio of up vs down bars inside the window, displayed directly in the zone overlays.
Drops ◈ markers where price interacts dynamically with the top or bottom band, highlighting reaction points.
ICT-Style Premium / Discount & Macro Zones
Two tiered structures:
Local Premium / Discount zones over a shorter SR window.
Macro Premium / Discount zones over a longer macro window.
Each zone:
Uses underlying directional volume to annotate accumulation vs distribution bias.
Provides Delta Volume Bias shading in the mid-band region, visually encoding whether local power flows are net-buying or net-selling.
Enables traders to quickly see whether current trade location is in a local/macro discount or premium context while still respecting volume profile.
Positioning Intelligence: PCD (Stocks)
Position Cost Distribution (PCD) – Stocks Only
Available for stock symbols on intraday up to daily timeframe (≤ 1D).
Uses:
TOTAL_SHARES_OUTSTANDING fundamentals,
Daily OHLCV snapshot, and
A bucketed distribution engine
to approximate cost basis distribution across price.
Outputs:
Horizontal “PCD bars” to the right of current price, density-scaled by estimated share concentration.
Color-coding by profitability relative to current price (profitable vs unprofitable positions).
Labels for:
Current price
Average cost
Profit ratio (share % below current price)
90% cost range
70% cost range
Range overlap as a measure of clustering / concentration.
Multi-Timeframe Trend: Two-Pole Gaussian Dashboard
Two-Pole Gaussian Filter (Line + Cloud)
Smooths a user-selected source (default: close) using a two-pole Gaussian filter with tunable alpha.
Plots:
A thin Gaussian trend line, and
A thick Gaussian “cloud” line with transparency, colored by slope vs past (offsetG).
Functions as a responsive trend backbone that is more sensitive than EMA 200 but less noisy than raw price.
Multi-Timeframe Gaussian Dashboard
Evaluates Gaussian trend direction across up to six timeframes (e.g., 1H / 2H / 4H / Daily / Weekly).
Renders a compact bottom-right table:
Header: symbol + overall bias arrow (up / down) based on average trend alignment.
Row of colored cells per timeframe (green for uptrend, magenta for downtrend) with human-readable TF labels (e.g., “60M”, “4H”, “1D”).
Gives an immediate read on whether intraday, swing, and higher-timeframe flows are aligned or fragmented.
Default Configuration & Usage Guidance
Default state after adding the script:
Enabled by default:
EMA 200 trend backbone
Nadaraya–Watson swing labels and curve
CCI bar coloring
RSI top/bottom arrows
Fat Bull / Fat Bear engine
Bull Snort & Pocket Pivots
S&R Power Channel
ICT Local + Macro zones
Two-pole Gaussian line + cloud + dashboard
PCD engine for stocks (auto-active where data is available)
Disabled by default (opt-in):
Custom MA suite (4x MAs, preset as EMA 8/8/89/89)
Hull MA overlay
How traders can use VB-MainLite in practice:
Use EMA 200 + Gaussian dashboard to define top-down directional bias and avoid trading directly against multi-TF trend.
Use Nadaraya swing labels, RSI exhaustion arrows, and CCI bar colors to time entries within that higher-timeframe bias.
Use Fat Bull / Fat Bear events as structured confirmation that both pattern and MA regime have flipped in the same direction.
Use Bull Snort, Pocket Pivots, and S&R / ICT zones to align execution with liquidity, volume, and location (premium vs discount).
On stocks, use PCD as a positioning map to understand trapped supply, support zones near crowded cost basis, and where profit-taking is likely.
EMA Market Structure [BOSWaves]EMA Market Structure - Trend-Driven Structural Mapping with Adaptive Swing Detection
Overview
The EMA Market Structure indicator provides an advanced framework for visualizing market structure through dynamically filtered trend and swing analysis.
Unlike conventional EMA overlays, which merely indicate average price direction, this model integrates trend acceleration, swing highs/lows, and break-of-structure (BOS) logic into a unified, visually intuitive display.
Each element adapts in real time to price movement, offering traders a living map of support, resistance, and trend bias that reacts fluidly to market momentum.
The result is a comprehensive, trend-aware representation of price structure.
EMA slope and acceleration guide trend perception, while swing points identify key inflection zones.
Breaks of prior highs or lows are highlighted with visual BOS labels and stop-loss projections, giving traders actionable context for continuation or reversal setups.
Unlike static lines or simple moving averages, the EMA Market Structure indicator fuses dynamic trend analysis with structural awareness to provide a clear picture of market bias and potential turning points.
Theoretical Foundation
The EMA Market Structure builds on principles of momentum filtering and structural analysis.
Standard moving averages track average price but ignore acceleration and context; this indicator captures both the directional slope of the EMA and its rate of change, providing a proxy for trend strength.
Simultaneously, swing detection identifies statistically significant highs and lows, while BOS logic flags decisive breaks in structure, aligned with trend direction.
At its core are three interacting components:
EMA Trend & Acceleration : Smooths price data while highlighting acceleration changes, producing gradient-driven color cues for trend momentum.
Swing Detection Engine : Identifies swing highs and lows over configurable bar lengths, ensuring key turning points are captured with minimal clutter.
Break-of-Structure Logic : Detects price breaches of previous swings and aligns them with EMA trend for actionable BOS signals, including projected stop-loss levels for tactical decision-making.
By integrating these elements, the system scales effectively across timeframes and assets, maintaining structural clarity while visualizing trend dynamics in real time. Traders receive both macro and micro perspectives of market movement, with clear cues for trend continuation or reversal.
How It Works
The EMA Market Structure indicator operates through layered processing stages:
EMA Slope & Acceleration : Calculates the EMA and its rate of change, normalizing via ATR and a smoothing function to produce gradient color coding. This allows instant visual identification of bullish or bearish momentum.
Swing Identification : Swing highs and lows are computed using configurable left/right bar lengths, filtered through a cool-off mechanism to prevent redundant signals and maintain chart clarity.
Structural Lines & Zones : Swing points are connected with lines, and shaded zones are drawn between successive highs/lows to highlight key support and resistance regions.
Break-of-Structure Detection : BOS events occur when price breaches a prior swing in alignment with the EMA trend. Bullish and bearish BOS signals include enhanced label effects and projected stop-loss lines and zones, providing immediate tactical reference.
Dynamic Background Mapping : The chart background adapts to EMA trend direction, reinforcing trend context with subtle visual cues.
Through these processes, the indicator creates a living, adaptive map of market structure that reflects both trend strength and swing-based inflection points.
Interpretation
The EMA Market Structure reframes market reading from simple trend following to structured awareness of price behavior:
Uptrend Phases : EMA is rising with positive acceleration, swings confirm higher lows, and BOS events occur above prior highs, signaling trend continuation.
Downtrend Phases : EMA slope is negative, swings form lower highs, and BOS events occur below prior lows, confirming bearish bias.
Trend Reversals : Flat or decelerating EMA with BOS failures may indicate impending structural change.
Critical Zones : Swing-based lines and shaded zones highlight areas where price may pause, reverse, or accelerate, providing high-probability decision points.
Visually, EMA color gradients, structural lines, and BOS labels combine to provide both statistical trend confirmation and actionable structural cues.
Strategy Integration
EMA Market Structure integrates seamlessly into trend-following and swing-based trading systems:
Trend Alignment : Confirm higher-timeframe EMA slope before entering continuation trades.
BOS Entry Triggers : Use BOS events aligned with EMA trend for tactical entries and stop placement.
Support/Resistance Mapping : Swing lines and zones help define areas for scaling, exits, or reversals.
Volatility Context : ATR-based smoothing and stop-loss buffers accommodate varying market volatility, ensuring robustness across conditions.
Multi-Timeframe Coordination : Combine higher-timeframe EMA trend and swings with lower-timeframe structural events for precision entries.
Technical Implementation Details
Core Engine : EMA slope and ATR-normalized acceleration for gradient-driven trend visualization.
Swing Framework : Pivot-based high/low detection with configurable bar lengths and cool-off intervals.
Structural Visualization : Lines, zones, and labels for high-fidelity mapping of support/resistance and BOS events.
BOS Engine : Detects structural breaks aligned with EMA trend, automatically plotting stop-loss lines and visual cues.
Performance Profile : Lightweight, optimized for real-time responsiveness across multiple timeframes.
Optimal Application Parameters
Timeframe Guidance:
1 - 5 min : Ideal for intraday swing spotting and microstructure trend tracking.
15 - 60 min : Medium-range structural analysis and BOS-driven entries.
4H - Daily : Macro trend mapping and key swing-based support/resistance identification.
Suggested Configuration:
EMA Length : 50
Swing Length : 5
Swing Cooloff : 10 bars
BOS Cooloff : 15 bars
SL Buffer : 0.1%
These suggested parameters should be used as a baseline; their effectiveness depends on the asset volatility, liquidity, and preferred entry frequency, so fine-tuning is expected for optimal performance.
Performance Characteristics
High Effectiveness:
Trending markets with defined swings and structural consistency.
Markets where EMA slope and acceleration reliably indicate momentum changes.
Reduced Effectiveness:
Choppy or sideways markets with minimal swing definition.
Random walk assets lacking clear structural anchors.
Integration Guidelines
Confluence Framework : Combine with volume, momentum, or BOSWaves structural indicators
to validate entries.
Directional Control: Follow EMA slope and BOS alignment for high-conviction trades.
Risk Calibration: Use SL projections for disciplined exposure management.
Multi-Timeframe Synergy: Confirm higher-timeframe trend before executing lower-timeframe structural trades.
Disclaimer
The EMA Market Structure is a professional-grade trend and structure visualization tool. It is not predictive or guaranteed profitable; performance depends on parameter tuning, market regime, and disciplined execution. BOSWaves recommends using it as part of a comprehensive analytical stack integrating trend, liquidity, and structural context.
VB Sigma Smart Momentum IndicatorVB Sigma Smart Momentum Indicator (VBSSMI)
The VBSSMI provides a consolidated decision-support framework that surfaces market participation, trend integrity, and liquidity conditions in a single visual environment. The tool integrates four analytical modules: MCDX Flow Mapping, Donchian Regime Layers, Banker Flow Modeling, and Chop Zone Trend Classification. Together, these components convert raw price movement into an actionable interpretation of who is in control, whether momentum is durable, and what phase the instrument is currently cycling through.
How to Use the Indicator (Practical Workflow)
1. Start with Institutional / Banker Flow (Pink/Red/Yellow/Green Candles)
This is the primary signal layer. It tells you when high-capacity participants are increasing, reducing, or reversing risk.
Yellow Candle — Entry Bias
Indicates a potential institutional initiation when their trend metric crosses above their accumulation threshold.
Operational signal: instrument enters “monitor for entry” state.
Green Candle — Accumulation State
Fund-trend > bullbearline.
Operational signal: trend integrity improving; pullbacks are generally buyable.
White Candle — Distribution / Cooling
Fund-trend weakening but not broken.
Operational signal: tighten stops; momentum deteriorating.
Red Candle — Exit / Trend Failure
Fund-trend < bullbearline.
Operational signal: momentum regime invalidated; avoid long risk.
Blue Candle — Weak Rebound
A temporary uptick within broader weakness.
Operational signal: do not mistake this for a durable reversal.
2. Validate alignment with Flow Chips (Retail / Trader / Institutional)
These three flow columns (MCDX layers) answer: who is actually participating?
Retailer Flow (Locked Chips – Green)
High values imply retail conviction, often late-cycle.
Good for confirming trend strength, not timing entries.
Trader Zone Flow (Float Chips – Yellow)
When this spikes, volatility and tactical positioning increase.
Signal: strong short-term engagement, supports breakout/trend continuation.
Institutional Flow (Profitable Chips – Red/Pink)
This is the “true north” of momentum.
Rising values = institutions controlling price discovery.
Signal: long setups have statistical tailwind.
The operational guidance is straightforward:
Institutional Flow > Trader Flow > Retail Flow
is the healthiest configuration for sustainable upside momentum.
3. Confirm Breakout / Breakdown Conditions with Donchian Regime Columns
The vertical Donchian stack illustrates trend regime in a time-compressed format.
Bright Blue/Cyan
Structure expanding upward (breakout cluster).
Dark Purple/Red
Structure breaking downward (breakdown cluster).
Mixed Columns
Transitional or indecisive conditions.
Interpret it as a “momentum backdrop”:
If Donchian columns and Banker Flow candles disagree, avoid entries.
4. Consult the Chop Zone Strip Before Committing Capital
The Chop Zone uses EMA angle to determine whether the market is trending or congested.
Greens/Blues → Trend phase (favorable environment for continuation trades).
Yellows/Oranges/Reds → High noise probability; expect false signals.
Operationally:
Never enter breakout setups during yellow/orange/red chop.
5. Final Decision Framework (Checklist)
A long setup typically requires:
Green or Yellow Banker Flow Candle
Institutional Flow rising
Donchian columns in bullish regime colors
Chop Zone in a trend color (not red/yellow/orange)
A short setup is the exact inverse.
Recommended Use Cases
Momentum trading
Swing position building
Institutional-flow confirmation
Trend-filtering before deploying breakout systems
Screening for strong/weak symbols in multi-asset rotation strategies
Volume Pressure OscillatorThe Volume Pressure Oscillator (VPO) is a momentum-based indicator that measures the directional pressure of cumulative volume delta (CVD) combined with price efficiency. It oscillates between 0 and 100, with readings above 50 indicating net buying pressure and readings below 50 indicating net selling pressure.
The indicator is designed to identify the strength and sustainability of volume-driven trends while remaining responsive during consolidation periods.
How the Indicator Works
The VPO analyzes volume flow by examining price action at lower timeframes to build a Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD). For each chart bar, the indicator looks at intrabar price movements to classify volume as either buying volume or selling volume. These classifications are accumulated into a running total that tracks net directional volume.
The indicator then measures the momentum of this CVD over both short-term and longer-term periods, providing responsiveness to recent changes while maintaining awareness of the broader trend. These momentum readings are normalized using percentile ranking, which creates a stable 0-100 scale that works consistently across different instruments and market conditions.
A key feature is the extreme zone persistence mechanism. When the indicator enters extreme zones (above 80 or below 20), it maintains elevated readings as long as volume pressure continues in the same direction. This allows the VPO to stay in extreme zones during strong trends rather than quickly reverting to neutral, making it useful for identifying sustained volume pressure rather than just temporary spikes.
What Makes This Indicator Different
While many indicators measure volume or volume delta, the VPO specifically measures how aggressively CVD is currently changing and whether that pressure is being sustained. It's the difference between knowing "more volume has accumulated on the buy side" versus "buying pressure is intensifying right now and shows signs of continuation."
1. Focus on CVD Momentum, Not CVD Levels
Most CVD indicators display the cumulative volume delta as a line that trends up or down indefinitely. The VPO is fundamentally different - it measures the slope of CVD rather than the absolute level. This transforms CVD from an unbounded cumulative metric into a bounded 0-100 oscillator that shows the intensity and direction of current volume pressure, not just the historical accumulation.
2. Designed to Stay in Extremes During Trends
Unlike traditional oscillators that treat extreme readings (above 80 or below 20) as overbought/oversold reversal signals, the VPO is engineered to oscillate within extreme zones during strong trends. When sustained buying or selling pressure exists, the indicator remains elevated (e.g., 80-95 or 5-20) rather than quickly reverting to neutral. This makes it useful for trend continuation identification rather than exclusively for reversal trading.
3. Percentile-Based Normalization
The VPO uses percentile ranking over a lookback window, which provides consistent behavior across different instruments, timeframes, and volatility regimes without constant recalibration.
4. Dual-Timeframe Momentum Synthesis
The indicator simultaneously considers short-term CVD momentum (responsive to recent changes) and longer-term CVD momentum (tracking trend direction), weighted and combined with a slow-moving trend bias. This multi-timeframe approach helps it stay responsive in ranging markets while maintaining context during trends.
How to Use the Indicator
Understanding the Zones:
80-100 (Strong Buying Pressure): CVD momentum is strongly positive. In trending markets, the indicator oscillates within this zone rather than immediately reverting to neutral. This suggests sustained accumulation and trend continuation probability.
60-80 (Moderate Buying): Positive volume pressure but not extreme. Suitable for identifying pullback entry opportunities within uptrends.
40-60 (Neutral Zone): Volume pressure is balanced or unclear. No strong directional edge from volume. Often seen during consolidation or trend transitions.
20-40 (Moderate Selling): Negative volume pressure developing. May indicate distribution or downtrend continuation setups.
0-20 (Strong Selling Pressure): CVD momentum is strongly negative. During downtrends, sustained readings in this zone suggest continued distribution and downside follow-through probability.
Practical Applications:
Trend Confirmation: When price makes new highs/lows, check if VPO confirms with similarly elevated readings. Divergences (price making new highs while VPO fails to reach prior highs) may indicate weakening momentum.
Range Trading: During consolidation, the VPO typically oscillates between 30-70. Readings toward the low end of the range (30-40) may present accumulation opportunities, while readings at the high end (60-70) may indicate distribution zones.
Extreme Persistence: If VPO reaches 90+ or drops below 10, this indicates exceptional volume pressure. Rather than fading these extremes immediately, monitor whether the indicator stays elevated. Sustained extreme readings suggest strong trend continuation potential.
Context with Price Action: The VPO is most effective when combined with price action or other orderflow indicators. Use the indicator to gauge whether volume is confirming or contradicting.
What the Indicator Does NOT Do:
It does not provide specific entry or exit signals
It does not predict future price direction
It does not guarantee profitable trades
It should not be used as a standalone trading system
Settings Explanation
Momentum Period (Default: 14)
This parameter controls the lookback period for CVD rate-of-change calculations.
Lower values (5-10): Make the indicator more responsive to recent volume changes. Useful for shorter-term trading and more active oscillation. May produce more whipsaws in choppy markets.
Default value (14): Provides balanced responsiveness while filtering out most noise. Suitable for swing trading and daily timeframe analysis.
Higher values (20-50): Create smoother readings and focus on longer-term volume trends. Better for position trading and reducing false signals, but with slower reaction to genuine changes in volume pressure.
Important Notes:
This indicator requires intrabar data to function properly. On some instruments or timeframes where lower timeframe data is not available, the indicator may not display.
The indicator uses request.security_lower_tf() which has a limit of intrabars. On higher timeframes, this provides extensive history, but on very low timeframes (<1-minute charts), the indicator may only cover limited historical bars.
Volume data quality varies by exchange and instrument. The indicator's effectiveness depends on accurate volume reporting from the data feed.

Viprasol Elite Advanced Pattern Scanner# 🚀 Viprasol Elite Advanced Pattern Scanner
## Overview
The **Viprasol Elite Advanced Pattern Scanner** is a sophisticated technical analysis tool designed to identify high-probability double bottom (DISCOUNT) and double top (PREMIUM) patterns with unprecedented accuracy. Unlike basic pattern detectors, this elite scanner employs an AI-powered quality scoring system to filter out false signals and highlight only the most reliable trading opportunities.
## 🎯 Key Features
### Advanced Pattern Detection
- **DISCOUNT Patterns** (Double Bottoms): Identifies bullish reversal zones where price may bounce
- **PREMIUM Patterns** (Double Tops): Detects bearish reversal zones where price may decline
- Multi-point validation system (5-point structure)
- Symmetry analysis with customizable tolerance
### 🤖 AI Quality Scoring System
Each pattern receives a quality score (0-100) based on:
- **Symmetry Analysis** (32% weight): How closely the two bottoms/tops match
- **Trend Context** (22% weight): Strength of the preceding trend using ADX
- **Volume Profile** (22% weight): Volume confirmation at key points
- **Pattern Depth** (16% weight): Significance of the pattern's price range
- **Structure Quality** (16% weight): Overall pattern formation quality
Quality Grades:
- ⭐ **ELITE** (88-100): Highest probability setups
- ✨ **VERY STRONG** (77-87): Strong trade opportunities
- ✓ **STRONG** (67-76): Valid patterns with good potential
- ○ **VALID** (65-66): Acceptable patterns meeting minimum criteria
### 🎯 Intelligent Target System
Three target modes per pattern direction:
- **Conservative**: 0.618 Fibonacci extension (safer, closer targets)
- **Balanced**: 1.0 extension (moderate risk/reward)
- **Aggressive**: 1.618 extension (higher risk/reward)
Targets automatically adjust based on pattern quality score.
### 🔧 Advanced Filtering Options
- **Volatility Filter (ATR)**: Excludes patterns during extreme volatility
- **Momentum Filter (ADX)**: Ensures sufficient trend strength
- **Liquidity Filter (Volume)**: Confirms adequate trading volume
### 📊 Pattern Lifecycle Management
- Real-time neckline tracking with extension multiplier
- Pattern invalidation after extended wait period
- Breakout/breakdown confirmation
- Reversal detection (pattern failure scenarios)
- Target achievement tracking
### 🌈 Premium Visual System
- Color-coded quality levels

💡 PRO TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
1. COMBINE WITH MINERVINI INDICATOR
Use BOTH indicators together:
✓ VCP Detector = Base quality
✓ Minervini = Trend + RS + Volume
Result = Best high-probability setups
2. PREFER ⭐⭐⭐⭐+ QUALITY BASES
Don't trade ⭐⭐ or ⭐ quality bases
Only trade ⭐⭐⭐+ (ideally ⭐⭐⭐⭐+)
Higher quality = Higher win rate
3. WAIT FOR VOLUME CONFIRMATION
Base must show "Vol Dry: YES"
Breakout must have 1.3x+ volume
Low volume breakouts fail often
4. USE 1D TIMEFRAME ONLY
This indicator optimized for daily charts
Intraday = Too many false signals
Weekly = Misses good setups
5. MONITOR MULTIPLE BASES (VCP PATTERN)
Multiple bases getting tighter = VCP pattern
Each base should be better quality than last
Tightest base = Biggest breakout
6. COMBINE WITH 52W CONTEXT
Dashboard shows "From 52W Hi" and "From 52W Lo"
Price should be in sweet zone:
< 25% from 52W high (uptrend territory)
> 30% above 52W low (not oversold)
7. BACKTEST FIRST
Use TradingView Replay
Go back 6-12 months
See how many bases appeared
See which were profitable

→ Results: 5-10 signals per stock per year (tradeable!)
Trend Template: Core 6 rules (NOT all 8)
→ Focuses on the most important rules
→ Still maintains quality, but more flexible
→ Works better with Indian stock behavior
Stage Allowed: S1 OR S2 (NOT just S2)
→ Catches earlier moves
→ Allows you to enter sooner
→ But maintains quality with other criteria

1. USE DAILY (1D) CHARTS ONLY
Weekly charts = Fewer signals, slower moves
Daily charts = Best for swing trading ✅
Intraday charts = Too many false signals

More stocks = More opportunities
3. WAIT FOR PERFECT ALIGNMENT
Don't enter on 8/14 criteria
Wait for 12+/14 criteria
This increases win rate significantly
4. VOLUME IS CRITICAL
Always check Vol Brk column
No volume = Likely to fail
1.3x+ volume = Good breakout
5. COMBINE WITH YOUR OWN ANALYSIS

Super-AO with Risk Management Alerts Template - 11-29-25Super-AO with Risk Management: ALERTS & AUTOMATION Edition
Signal Lynx | Free Scripts supporting Automation for the Night-Shift Nation 🌙
1. Overview
This is the Indicator / Alerts companion to the Super-AO Strategy.
While the Strategy version is built for backtesting (verifying profitability and checking historical performance), this Indicator version is built for Live Execution.
We understand the frustration of finding a great strategy, only to realize you can't easily hook it up to your trading bot. This script solves that. It contains the exact same "Super-AO" logic and "Risk Management Engine" as the strategy version, but it is optimized to send signals to automation platforms like Signal Lynx, 3Commas, or any Webhook listener.
2. Quick Action Guide (TL;DR)
Purpose: Live Signal Generation & Automation.
Workflow:
Use the Strategy Version to find profitable settings.
Copy those settings into this Indicator Version.
Set a TradingView Alert using the "Any Alert() function call" condition.
Best Timeframe: 4 Hours (H4) and above.
Compatibility: Works with any webhook-based automation service.
3. Why Two Scripts?
Pine Script operates in two distinct modes:
Strategy Mode: Calculates equity, drawdowns, and simulates orders. Great for research, but sometimes complex to automate.
Indicator Mode: Plots visual data on the chart. This is the preferred method for setting up robust alerts because it is lighter weight and plots specific values that automation services can read easily.
The Golden Rule: Always backtest on the Strategy, but trade on the Indicator. This ensures that what you see in your history matches what you execute in real-time.
4. How to Automate This Script
This script uses a "Visual Spike" method to trigger alerts. Instead of drawing equity curves, it plots numerical values at the bottom of your chart when a trade event occurs.
The Signal Map:
Blue Spike (2 / -2): Entry Signal (Long / Short).
Yellow Spike (1 / -1): Risk Management Close (Stop Loss / Trend Reversal).
Green Spikes (1, 2, 3): Take Profit Levels 1, 2, and 3.
Setup Instructions:
Add this indicator to your chart.
Open your TradingView "Alerts" tab.
Create a new Alert.
Condition: Select SAO - RM Alerts Template.
Trigger: Select Any Alert() function call.
Message: Paste your JSON webhook message (provided by your bot service).
5. The Logic Under the Hood
Just like the Strategy version, this indicator utilizes:
SuperTrend + Awesome Oscillator: High-probability swing trading logic.
Non-Repainting Engine: Calculates signals based on confirmed candle closes to ensure the alert you get matches the chart reality.
Advanced Adaptive Trailing Stop (AATS): Internally calculates volatility to determine when to send a "Close" signal.

Mean-Reversion with CooldownThis strategy requires no indicators or fundamental analysis. It is designed for longer-term positions and works especially well on unleveraged instruments with strong long-term upward trends, such as precious metals. Feel free to experiment with different timeframes — I’ve found that 1-hour charts work particularly well for cryptocurrencies.
The idea is to filter out ongoing bear phases as effectively as possible and capitalize on long-term bull runs.
The script implements an idea that came to me in a state of complete sleep deprivation: open a random long position with a fixed take-profit (TP) and a tight stop-loss (SL).
If the TP is hit — great, we simply try again.
If the SL is triggered — too bad, we pause for a while and then try again.
## Cooldown (Waiting) Mechanism
The waiting mechanism is simple: the more consecutive SL hits we get, the longer we wait before opening the next trade. The waiting time is measured in closed candles, and thus depends on the timeframe you are using.
## Two cooldown calculation modes are currently supported:
### 1. FIBONACCI
The cooldown follows the Fibonacci sequence, based on the number of consecutive losses:
1st loss → wait 1 bar
2nd loss → wait 1 bar
3rd loss → wait 2 or 3 bars (depending on definition)
4th loss → wait 3 or 5 bars
etc.
### 2. POWER OF TWO
The cooldown increases exponentially:
1st loss → wait 2 bars
2nd loss → wait 4 bars
3rd loss → wait 8 bars
4th loss → wait 16 bars
and so on, using the formula 2ⁿ.
## Configurable Parameters
### Cooldown Pause Calculation
The settings allow you to define the SL and TP as percentages of the position value.
The "Cooldown Pause Calculation" option determines how the next cooldown duration is computed after a losing trade.
The system keeps track of how many consecutive losses have occurred since the last profitable trade. That counter is then used to compute how many bars we must wait before opening the next position.
### Maximum Cooldown
The "Max Cooldown Candles" setting defines the maximum number of bars we are allowed to wait before placing a new trade. This prevents the strategy from “locking itself out” for too long and mitigates the fear of missing out (FOMO).
Once the cooldown duration reaches this maximum, the system essentially wraps around and starts the progression again. In the script, this is handled using a simple modulo operation based on the chosen maximum.
Classic Wave: The Easy WayClassic Wave is a simple strategy with few rules and no over-optimization. Despite its simplicity, it is backed by a nearly century-long historical track record, delivering excellent returns on the weekly chart of the SPX (TVC).
I also recommend observing its strong performance on the SPY (weekly), which is the perfect instrument for executing this strategy with futures in the future.
Strategy Rules and Parameters
When a bullish candle closes above the 20-period EMA, we place the stop-loss below the low of that candle and target a risk-reward ratio of 1:1.
A second, more profitable variant is to change the risk-reward ratio in the code to 2:1.
-Total capital: $10,000
-We use 10% of the total capital per trade.
-Commissions: 0.1% per trade.
The code construction is simple and very well detailed within the script itself.
Risk-Reward Ratio 2:1
Using a 2:1 risk-reward ratio reduces the win rate but significantly increases profitability.
Across the full historical data of the SPX index (weekly), the system would have generated 236 trades, with a win rate of 51.27% and a profit factor of 2.53.
From January 1, 2023, to November 28, 2025, the system would have generated 5 trades, with an 80% win rate and a profit factor of 9.244.
What makes this system so good?
-It takes advantage of the long-term bullish bias of U.S. stock indices and traditional markets.
-It filters out a lot of noise thanks to the weekly timeframe.
-It uses simple parameters with no over-optimization.
Final Notes:
This strategy has consistently outperformed the returns offered by most traditional funds over time, with fewer drawdowns and significantly less stress. I hope you like it.
BTC BRD – Bullet-Proof Reversal StrategyBTC BRD – Bullet-Proof Reversal Strategy is a price-action based reversal system that turns your existing “Bullet-Proof Reversal Detector” into a fully backtestable TradingView strategy with built-in risk management. It is designed to catch clean swing reversals using pure market structure, then automatically place stop-loss and take-profit orders based on your preferred risk-reward settings.
## Core concept
The strategy identifies true swing highs and lows using pivots and then waits for a clear market structure shift before entering any trade. It looks for a higher low followed by a break of structure for longs, and a lower high followed by a break of structure for shorts, helping filter out many random spikes and fakeouts. This makes it suitable for traders who prefer clean, rule-based entries grounded in market structure rather than noisy, indicator-heavy setups.
## Entries and exits
- Long trades are triggered after a bullish higher-low plus a confirmed break above the last swing high.
- Short trades are triggered after a bearish lower-high plus a confirmed break below the last swing low.
- Every position is protected with an automatic stop-loss and a calculated take-profit, so each trade has a predefined risk and reward from the moment it is opened.
## Risk management
The strategy lets you control your risk with a configurable risk-reward ratio (RR) and flexible stop-loss options. You can choose between an ATR-based stop (ATR × multiplier) or a fixed percentage stop relative to the entry price. Once the stop distance is known, the take-profit level is automatically derived from your RR value, making trade sizing and evaluation more consistent across different pairs and timeframes.
## Use cases and recommendations
This script is ideal for swing and intraday traders who want to systematically test market-structure reversals on assets like Bitcoin or other volatile instruments. For best results, experiment with different timeframes and ATR/percentage settings, and always validate performance using the Strategy Tester before deploying it on live markets. Remember that no strategy is guaranteed to be profitable, so use proper risk management and adapt settings to your own style and risk tolerance.
Buy Sell SignalBuy Sell Signal - EMA Crossover with Dynamic Risk Management
OVERVIEW
This indicator combines a dual EMA crossover system with ATR-based dynamic stop loss and take profit levels to provide complete trade management signals. Unlike basic EMA crossover scripts, this tool automatically calculates and displays entry points, stop losses, and take profit targets based on market volatility, offering traders a complete trading framework in a single indicator.
HOW IT WORKS
The indicator uses three core components working together:
Trend Detection: A fast EMA (default 5) and slow EMA (default 13) identify trend direction. When the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA, it signals bullish momentum; when it crosses below, it signals bearish momentum.
Entry Validation: Optional candle confirmation filter ensures the crossover is accompanied by a bullish/bearish candle close, reducing false signals in choppy markets.
Risk Management: Uses ATR (Average True Range, default 14 periods) to calculate:
Stop Loss: Positioned below/above recent swing low/high minus ATR multiplier (default 0.5x)
Take Profit: Calculated using customizable risk-reward ratio (default 3:1)
KEY FEATURES
✅ Automatic Position Tracking: Monitors active trades and displays current position status (LONG/SHORT/No position)
✅ Visual Trade Management: Shows entry price (white dashed line), stop loss (red line), and take profit (green line) in real-time
✅ Trade Outcome Signals: Displays clear markers when TP is hit (🎯), SL is triggered (❌), or position is invalidated by opposite signal
✅ Information Dashboard: Live table showing entry price, SL, TP, and actual R:R ratio
✅ Smart Position Invalidation: Automatically closes and invalidates previous positions when opposite trend signal appears
✅ Customizable Alerts: Five alert conditions for BUY/SELL signals, TP hits, SL triggers, and invalidations
INPUTS
Fast EMA Length (default 5): Responsive to recent price action
Slow EMA Length (default 13): Defines broader trend direction
ATR Period (default 14): Volatility measurement period
SL Multiplier (default 0.5): Distance from swing point to stop loss
Risk:Reward Ratio (default 3.0): Target profit relative to risk
Candle Confirmation (default ON): Requires bullish/bearish candle on crossover
HOW TO USE
Apply the indicator to your chart (works on all timeframes)
Adjust EMA periods based on your trading style (shorter for scalping, longer for swing trading)
Set your preferred risk-reward ratio
Enable alerts for automated notifications
When a BUY/SELL signal appears, the indicator automatically calculates and displays your complete trade plan
Monitor the information table for live position updates
Exit when TP is reached or SL is triggered
TRADING METHODOLOGY
This script implements a momentum-following strategy based on exponential moving average crossovers, enhanced with volatility-adjusted risk parameters. The ATR-based stop loss adapts to market conditions—wider stops in volatile markets, tighter stops in calm markets. The position invalidation feature prevents traders from holding outdated positions when market sentiment shifts.
BEST PRACTICES
Use on trending markets for best results
Higher timeframes (4H, Daily) produce fewer but more reliable signals.
For scalpe use 5 and 15 minutes(Risk).
Consider market context and fundamental factors alongside signals
Adjust ATR multiplier based on asset volatility
Test different EMA combinations for your preferred instruments
ORIGINALITY
While EMA crossover systems are common, this script's value lies in its complete integration of entry logic, dynamic risk management, position tracking, and automated invalidation—features typically requiring multiple separate indicators. The ATR-based stop loss calculation and automatic R:R visualization provide practical trade execution guidance that basic crossover indicators lack.
Important Notes:
This indicator does not guarantee profitable trades
Always practice proper risk management

Dumb Money Flow - Retail Panic & FOMO# Dumb Money Flow (DMF) - Retail Panic & FOMO
## 🌊 Overview
**Dumb Money Flow (DMF)** is a powerful **contrarian indicator** designed to track the emotional state of the retail "herd." It identifies moments of extreme **Panic** (irrational selling) and **FOMO** (irrational buying) by analyzing on-chain data, volume anomalies, and price velocity.
In crypto markets, retail traders often buy the top (FOMO) and sell the bottom (Panic). This indicator helps you do the opposite: **Buy when the herd is fearful, and Sell when the herd is greedy.**
---
## 🧠 How It Works
The indicator combines multiple data points into a single **Sentiment Index** (0-100), normalized over a 90-day period to ensure it always uses the full range of the chart.
### 1. Panic Index (Bearish Sentiment)
Tracks signs of capitulation and fear. High values contribute to the **Panic Zone**.
* **Exchange Inflows:** Spikes in funds moving to exchanges (preparing to sell).
* **Volume Spikes:** High volume during price drops (panic selling).
* **Price Crash (ROC):** Rapid, emotional price drops over 3 days.
* **Volatility (ATR):** High market nervousness and instability.
### 2. FOMO Index (Bullish Sentiment)
Tracks signs of euphoria and greed. High values contribute to the **FOMO Zone**.
* **Exchange Outflows:** Funds moving to cold storage (HODLing/Greed).
* **Profitable Addresses:** When >90% of holders are in profit, tops often form.
* **Parabolic Rise:** Rapid, unsustainable price increases.
---
## 🎨 Visual Guide
The indicator uses a distinct color scheme to highlight extremes:
* **🟢 Dark Green Zone (> 80): Extreme FOMO**
* **Meaning:** The crowd is euphoric. Risk of a correction is high.
* **Action:** Consider taking profits or looking for short entries.
* **🔴 Dark Burgundy Zone (< 20): Extreme Panic**
* **Meaning:** The crowd is capitulating. Prices may be oversold.
* **Action:** Look for buying opportunities (catching the knife with confirmation).
* **🔵 Light Blue Line:**
* The smoothed moving average of the sentiment, helpful for seeing the trend direction.
---
## 🛠️ How to Use (Trading Strategies)
### 1. Contrarian Reversals (The Primary Strategy)
* **Buy Signal:** Wait for the line to drop deep into the **Burgundy Panic Zone (< 20)** and then start curling up. This indicates that the worst of the selling pressure is over.
* **Sell Signal:** Wait for the line to spike into the **Green FOMO Zone (> 80)** and then start curling down. This suggests buying exhaustion.
### 2. Divergences
* **Bullish Divergence:** Price makes a **Lower Low**, but the DMF Indicator makes a **Higher Low** (less panic on the second drop). This is a strong reversal signal.
* **Bearish Divergence:** Price makes a **Higher High**, but the DMF Indicator makes a **Lower High** (less FOMO/buying power on the second peak).
### 3. Trend Confirmation (Midline Cross)
* **Crossing 50 Up:** Sentiment is shifting from Fear to Greed (Bullish).
* **Crossing 50 Down:** Sentiment is shifting from Greed to Fear (Bearish).
---
## ⚙️ Settings
* **Data Source:** Defaults to `INTOTHEBLOCK` for on-chain data.
* **Crypto Asset:** Auto-detects BTC/ETH, but can be forced.
* **Normalization Period:** Default 90 days. Determines the "window" for defining what is considered "Extreme" relative to recent history.
* **Weights:** You can customize how much each factor (Volume, Inflows, Price) contributes to the index.

Low Volatility Breakout + TP/SL Levels█ OVERVIEW
"Low Volatility Breakout + TP/SL Levels" is a breakout indicator designed to detect and trade breakouts from periods of low volatility (consolidation). Unlike classic strategies based on fixed support/resistance levels, this indicator dynamically identifies consolidations characterized by small candle bodies and only generates a signal when the breakout occurs with a large, decisive candle. It also automatically plots 3 Take Profit levels and a Stop Loss (with two calculation modes), making it a complete breakout trading tool.
█ CONCEPTS
The strongest market moves most often start after a prolonged period of very low volatility — when candles become small and the market "falls asleep". The indicator first detects such consolidations (small bodies for at least X bars), draws a box around them, and then waits for a breakout with a candle significantly larger than the average. Additional filters (e.g., the box height cannot exceed the average candle body by too much) eliminate false consolidations and volatility traps. Immediately after the breakout, TP1, TP2, TP3, and SL levels are plotted.
█ FEATURES
Dynamic detection of low-volatility consolidations
- candles with small bodies (< average body × consolidationMultiplier)
- minimum number of bars in consolidation: confirmBars (default 5)
Automatic drawing of consolidation boxes
- green (bullish) or red (bearish) with transparent background (85)
- adjustable border thickness (border_width 1–5)
- box height filter (boxHeightMultiplier, default 6.0 × average body) – removes overly stretched/false consolidations
Breakout conditions
- current candle must be larger than average body × threshold (default 1.5)
- must be the largest candle in the entire consolidation
- must close above the highest high (long) or below the lowest low (short)
Breakout signals
- small green triangles below the bar (long)
- small red triangles above the bar (short)
Automatic Take Profit and Stop Loss levels (drawn 5 bars forward)
- two calculation modes:
• Candle Multiplier – based on average true range (high-low) over tp_sl_length period
• Percentage – fixed percentage from breakout close price (percentages must be manually adjusted to the asset and timeframe)
- 3 TP levels (default 2×, 3×, 4× or 2%, 3%, 4%)
- 1 SL level (default 2× or 1.5%)
Live TP/SL price table (top-right corner)
- displays exact current values of SL, TP1, TP2, TP3 immediately after each new signal
- colors identical to drawn lines (red background for SL, green for TP levels)
- updates automatically with every new breakout
Built-in alerts
- “Bullish Breakout Alert” and “Bearish Breakout Alert”
█ HOW TO USE
Add the indicator to your TradingView chart → Indicators → search “Low Volatility Breakout + TP/SL Levels”.
After each valid breakout you will immediately see:
- the colored box
- signal triangle
- horizontal TP/SL lines
- updated table in the top-right corner showing precise price levels for the current trade
Key settings to adjust:
Consolidation Settings
- Volatility Window (length) – period for average body calculation (default 20)
- Consolidation Multiplier – how small bodies must be to count as consolidation (default 2.0)
- Breakout Multiplier – minimum size of breakout candle (default 1.5)
- Box Height Multiplier – maximum allowed box height (default 6.0)
- Min Consolidation Bars – minimum bars required (default 5)
Risk Management Settings
- Choose TP/SL mode: Candle Multiplier or Percentage
- Adjust TP1–3 and SL multipliers/percentages to match your risk management style
Signal interpretation:
- Green triangle below bar + green box + green TP levels in table = long signal
- Red triangle above bar + red box + red SL level in table = short signal
- Boxes remain on chart until broken — they highlight accumulation/distribution zones
█ APPLICATIONS
- Trading breakouts from consolidation on all markets and timeframes
- Recommended to trade in the direction of the higher-timeframe trend or with additional confirmations (e.g., key level breaks). Aggressive mode (trading both directions) is also possible — provided box and TP/SL settings are properly optimized
- Experiment with different TP/SL ratios — higher reward-to-risk setups (e.g., SL 1×, TP3 6–8×) with lower win rate are often more profitable in the long run
- Strongly encourage testing various box parameters (consolidationMultiplier, boxHeightMultiplier, confirmBars) — small changes can dramatically affect signal frequency and quality
█ NOTES
Always test and optimize parameters for the specific instrument and timeframe.

## Trading R2G (Long Setup)
### Entry Checklist
- Stock opened RED (below prior close)
- R2G cross signal triggered (green triangle)
- Volume confirmation (1.5x+ preferred, 2x+ ideal)
- Price holding above prior close
- Overall market not tanking
### Entry Method
1. **Aggressive:** Enter immediately on R2G cross
2. **Conservative:** Wait for pullback to prior close (now support)
### Stop Loss
- Below the R2G cross candle low
- OR below prior close (tighter)
### Target
- Prior day high (first target)
- 2:1 risk-reward minimum
---
## Trading G2R (Short Setup)
### Entry Checklist
- Stock opened GREEN (above prior close)
- G2R cross signal triggered (red triangle)
- Volume confirmation
- Price staying below prior close
- Overall market not ripping
### Entry Method
1. **Aggressive:** Enter immediately on G2R cross
2. **Conservative:** Wait for bounce to prior close (now resistance)
### Stop Loss
- Above the G2R cross candle high
- OR above prior close (tighter)
### Target
- Prior day low (first target)
- Gap fill (if gapped up)
---
## Signal Quality
### High Quality R2G ✓
- Opened significantly red (-2% or more)
- Strong volume on cross (2x+)
- First R2G of the day
- Market trending up
- News catalyst present
### Low Quality R2G ✗
- Opened barely red (-0.5%)
- Low volume cross
- Multiple R2G/G2R already today (choppy)
- Fighting market direction
- No clear catalyst
---
## Common Patterns
### Clean R2G (Best)
```
Open red → Steady climb → Cross prior close → Continue higher
```
### Failed R2G (Avoid/Exit)
```
Open red → Cross to green → Immediately fail back to red
```
### Choppy R2G/G2R (Avoid)
```
Multiple crosses back and forth = Indecision, no clear direction
```
---
## First Cross Rule
**The FIRST R2G or G2R of the day is usually the most significant.**
Why?
- Catches traders off guard
- Largest reaction from market
- Sets tone for rest of day
If you miss the first cross, be more selective on subsequent crosses.

## Combining with Other Indicators
| Indicator | How to Use |
|-----------|------------|
| **Gap & Go** | R2G on gap-down stock = strong reversal |
| **Bull Flag** | Look for bull flag after R2G confirmation |
| **Float Rotation** | R2G + high rotation = explosive potential |
| **VWAP** | R2G above VWAP = strongest setup |
---
## Common Mistakes
❌ **Chasing late R2G**
- If price is already 3-5% green, you missed the move
- Wait for pullback or next setup
❌ **Ignoring volume**
- Low volume R2G often fails
- Always check relative volume
❌ **Fighting the market**
- R2G in a tanking market often fails
- G2R in a ripping market often fails
❌ **No stop loss**
- Failed R2G can reverse hard
- Always have a defined stop
❌ **Overtrading choppy stocks**
- Multiple R2G/G2R = no clear direction
- Skip stocks that keep crossing back and forth
---
## Quick Decision Framework
```
1. Did it open opposite color? (Red for R2G, Green for G2R)
- NO → Lower probability, be cautious
- YES → Continue
2. Is volume confirming? (1.5x+ relative volume)
- NO → Skip or small size
- YES → Continue
3. Is this the first cross of the day?
- YES → Higher probability
- NO → Be more selective
4. Is market direction supportive?
- NO → Skip
- YES → Take the trade
5. Can you define risk? (Clear stop level)
- NO → Skip
- YES → Execute
```
---
## Key Takeaways
1. **Prior close is THE key level** - everyone watches it
2. **First cross matters most** - sets daily tone
3. **Volume confirms** - low volume crosses often fail
4. **Failed crosses reverse hard** - always use stops
5. **Don't overtrade choppy action** - multiple crosses = stay out

BTC Dual Cycle: Stats DashboardOverview
"Price takes the elevator down, but takes the stairs up."
This indicator is a macro-analysis tool designed to visualize the true duration of Bitcoin’s market cycles. Unlike standard oscillators that focus on short-term price action, the Macro Cycle Tracker filters out the noise to answer two fundamental questions:
Are we in a phase of Expansion (Price Discovery)?
Are we in a phase of Recovery (Repairing the damage of a crash)?
It visually separates the market into two distinct regimes based on a configurable drawdown threshold (default: -50%) and provides real-time statistics on how long these phases historically last.
How It Works
The script tracks the All-Time High (ATH) and divides market history into two colored zones:
🟢 The Green Zone (Expansion / Price Discovery)
Trigger: Starts immediately when Bitcoin breaks the previous ATH.
Meaning: The market is healthy, profitable, and exploring new valuation levels.
End: The zone ends when price drops by 50% (configurable) from the cycle top.
🔴 The Red Zone (Recovery / Capitulation)
Trigger: Starts when price drops below the 50% threshold from the peak.
Meaning: The asset is "underwater." This zone remains active persistently—even during relief rallies—until the previous ATH is fully reclaimed.
Philosophy: A cycle is not over until the damage is repaired.
Key Features
Cycle Timer: Displays the exact number of days passed for every historical cycle directly on the chart.
Live Counter: Shows the current duration of the active phase (e.g., "ZONE GREEN: 450 Days...").
Statistical Dashboard: A table in the bottom-right corner automatically calculates the Mean and Median duration (in days) for both Green and Red phases. This allows you to compare the current cycle against historical averages.
How to Use
For Investors (HODLers): Use the Red Zone to understand the "Time Cost" of a bear market. It helps visualize that recovery takes patience and that price action below the old ATH is merely accumulation.
For Analysts: Use the Dashboard statistics to project potential cycle turning points based on historical median durations.
Settings
Drop Percent (%): Default is 50%. This defines the "Crash" threshold. You can adjust this to 20% or 30% for more sensitive cycle detection.
Text Size: Adjust the size of the dashboard text to fit your screen resolution.
